Volunteer Activity to Help Elderly People in the Neighborhood
(标题不记分)
第一段:时间、地点、人物
After two weeks of preparation, a volunteer activity was carried out on June 15th, Saturday, to help aged residents in the communities around our campus. In this activity, 375 students, with the guidance of the Student Union, assisted 441 retired people who are more than 75 years old on average.
译文:经过两个星期的准备,我校于6月15日星期六举办了一次志愿者活动,来扶助学校周边社区的老人。在这次活动中,375名学生在学生会的领导下,向441名平均年龄在75岁以上的老人伸出了援手。
第二段:缘由、经过、结果
Our fellow students offered their assistance mainly in two ways. For most of the aged people are unable to completely clean their rooms by themselves, the volunteers spent at least 8 hours on each family, cleaning garbage and washing clothes and curtains for the elderly people. And, as some senior residents live alone and feel lonely, the volunteer had long conversations with them and promised to visit them on regular basis.
译文:我校同学们主要在以下两方面给老人提供了帮助。大部分老人无力彻底清扫居所,所以,这些志愿者在每户至少投入八小时时间,帮老人清扫垃圾、清洗衣物、帷幔、窗帘。此外,由于一些老人长期独居、倍感孤独,所以志愿者们和他们促膝长谈,并承诺以后定期来看望他们。
第三段:意义、展望、畅想
We have a dream, as Martin Luther King did, that we believe in the future, where the value of our efforts is not determined by the size of our paychecks, but by the amount we spread and the amount of meaning we give. This volunteer activity is a step towards the great dream.
译文:就像马丁·路德·金一样,我们都有梦想。我们相信在未来,我们的劳动价值不再取决于薪资的优厚程度,而是取决于我们传播了多少快乐,缔造了多少意义。这次志愿者活动,是我们迈向梦想的坚实的一步!
