Love the elderly

参考LIUXUEPAPER.COM整理范文：

Love the elderly

     The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. Nine, as the biggest single number, represents long life and happiness. That 's why China celebrates Senior Citizen 's Day on the ninth of the ninth. It symbolizes respect and love for the old.

     As our population ages, it's more important than ever that the elderly are well taken care of. Young people should keep their parents or grandparents company regularly. As a society we should build more nursing homes where the elderly can be safe and enjoy their retirement together.

     Hopefully, by working together we can improve the latter years of our senior citizens. After their lifetime of hard work, it's the least they deserve.

九月九日忆山东兄弟

王维（唐）

独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。

遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人。

Thinking of my Brothers on Mountain Climbing Day

（许渊冲译）

Alone, a lonely stranger in a foreign land,

I doubly pine for kinsfolk on a holiday.

I know my brothers would, with dogwood spray in hand,

Climb up mountain and miss me so far away.

采桑子·重阳        

毛泽东  1929年10月

许渊冲 译

Nature does not grow old as fast as man；

Each year the Double Ninth comes round.

And now the Double Ninth comes round.

How sweet are yellow flowers on the battleground.

See autumn reign with heavy winds once every year,

Unlike springtime.

Far more sublime,

The boundless sky and waters blend with endless rime.

人生易老天难老，岁岁重阳。今又重阳，战地黄花分外香。一年一度秋风劲，不似春光。胜似春光，寥廓江天万里霜。
