Since ancient times, teaching has been a nobleprofession. And teachers are often compared to “gardeners” and “candles” whichburn themselves but light the way for others. This indicates that people have aspecial respect foe teachers and the job of teaching. In survey the history ofChinese education, we can see teachers are not only holding the responsibilityof transmitting knowledge but also setting good models for students in morals,ethics and patriotism. And many brilliant examples are throughout history.

自古以来，教书就是一份高尚的职业。老师常常被比作园丁”和燃烧自己点亮别人的“蜡烛”。这表明人们对老师和教书工作有特殊的尊敬情结。早中国的教育史调查中，我们可以看到，教师不仅肩负传播知识的重任，同时也在道德、伦理和爱国主义方面给学生树立榜样。历史上有很多鲜明的例子。

Today, it is encouraging that there are a large numberof education workers who are willing to dedicate themselves to the educationalbusiness. They are strict in teaching, have a wide range of knowledge and workwith tireless enthusiasm. They work silently, seeking no personal fame. Allthese demonstrate the noble and pure personality of teachers.

今天，令人鼓舞的是，大量的教育工作者愿意投身于教育事业。他们教学严谨，学识渊博，孜孜不倦。他们默默无闻，不图名利。所有的这些都表明了教师高尚纯洁的品质。

However, it is also regret that today some teachersare doing things not in line with their noble image. They, for example, ask forhigh fees from their students with various excuses. Some even peddle productswhich have nothing to do with teaching to students. Though such teachers arevery small in number, the harm they cause is serious. They might bring aboutbad effects on students and ruin the image of teachers as a whole.

然而，遗憾的是，现在有些老师做出一些不相符于他们高尚形象的事情。比如说，他们以各种各样的借口向学生收取高额费用。有的甚至向学生兜售与教学无关的产品。尽管这样的老师是少数的，但是他们带来的伤害却是严重的。他们可能给学生产生不良影响，损坏教师的整体形象。

As far as I am concerned, I wish all teachers wouldtreasure their glory and respect bestowed by society and regulate theirbehavior. Leave virtue and kindness to your students instead of greed for moneybecause only this can bring happiness to them. This is my own experience.

就我而言，我希望所有的老师珍惜社会赋予他们的荣誉和尊敬，规范他们的行为。给你的学生留下美德和仁慈而不是对金钱的贪婪，因为只有这样才能给他们带来幸福。我就是我自己的经验。
