　　In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to others. In the next illustration a disabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind.

　　Being well dressed is of great importance in keeping a good appearance. The way a person is dressed helps him to have a good appearance, which conveys his confidence and attitudes towards life. However, we should always bear this in mind: dont judge a person by his appearance. Ones confidence and good impression on others does not usually develop from the way one dresses or looks, but the inner qualities one possesses. Because of this, the old man is displaying a more beautiful virtue even though he is disabled and somewhat ugly physically compared with the young girl.

　　No doubt beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eyes. A nice, pretty girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked upon as beautiful. However, beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtues of the Chinese people are regarded as beautiful, because they have helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. In a word, we should not only pay attention to our physical appearance, but also improve our heart and soul.

　　译文

　　 漫画中描绘了一个穿着入时的女孩把香蕉皮随手丢弃在地上，而不是把它放入垃圾桶内。之后，一位年长的残疾人把它拾起放入了垃圾桶。穿着漂亮固然能够展现美丽的外表。一个人的穿着方式有助于其拥有漂亮的外表，这体现了一个人对生活的信心和态度。然而，我们应该始终记住这样的原则：不以貌取人。一个人的自信和良好的形象往往不只在于她的长相和穿着，而在于她的内在品质。正因如此，这位拥有高尚道德的长者看起来要比这位时髦女孩更加美丽，尽管他有残疾而他的外表也比不上这位年轻的女孩。

　　毫无疑问，美丽是指那些吸引人们目光的东西。一个漂亮迷人的女孩是美丽，一束盛开的鲜花同样是美丽，一个壮观的瀑布从山上飞流直下也是美丽。然而，美丽还指那些能够吸引人们思想的东西。中华民族的传统美德是美丽，因为正是这样的美德才孕育了世界上如此灿烂的文化。 一言以蔽之，我们不仅要只注意自己的外表，同时也要使我们的心灵得到升华。
