Some imprompty advice

临时的建议

Improvident¹ behaviour is likely to imprint² indelible marks on a person’s life and personality. What may be thought of as nothing more than just a youthful prank³ may, in reality, lead to serious consequences. Its ultimate implication may even be a term of imprisonment⁴. It is all the more important, therefore, for educators to instil⁵ a sense of responsibility in young perople’s minds and to implement⁶ a rigorous routine of physical exercise and study moreover, it may be necessary to impose an even stricter regime on those individuals who are otherwise likely to stray too far from a course of acceptable behaviour and lead a life of impropriety.

Given the mecessary determination. Impressive results may be obtained, sadly though, and improbable as it may seem, an imcreasing number of educators nowadays seem to be afflicted⁷ by a sense of impotence about what they may set out to achieve. Let those educators beware, lest they find themselves implicated⁹!

To all those in charge of our young people’s welfare, I can do no better than proffer¹⁰ some impromptu¹¹ advice and implore¹² them to take stock of the situation. What I wish to imply is nothing more and nothing less than this; the way parents and educators conduct themselves will leave an indelible imprint on the younger generation’s minds. What will be required is nothing short of an imposing¹³ get of examples, or role moderls. To sum up the implicit¹⁴ message of this short chapter; being a goood example will be the most effective implement for creating a brighter future for all of us—a world full of joyous¹⁵ colour, as it was envisaged¹⁶, among others, by the painters of impressionism.

浪费的行为很有可能给一个人的生活和性格印上无法磨灭的痕迹。一个似乎不过是年轻人的恶作剧实际上可能造成严重的后果。其终极含意甚至意味着监禁。所以，教育者在年轻人的头脑中逐步培养责任感，实行严格的日常身体锻炼和学习是很重要的。而且，对那些可能远远偏离社会行为规范而生活上不加检点的人有必要施加更严格的管教模式。

只要有必要的决心，就可能获得令人印象深刻的结果。但令人遗憾的并且似乎不可能的是，现在越来越多的教育者似乎对他们所要达到的目标觉得无能为力而深感痛苦。让这些教育者当心，否则他们自己将牵连其中。

对于那些我们的年轻人的福祉负责的人，我只能提供一些临时的建议，恳求他们对现状检讨一番。我希望暗示的不偏不倚正好是：父母和教育者的所作所为会在年轻一代的头脑中留下不可磨灭的印记。我们需要的是一组威严的榜样或角色模范。这一简短章节的含蓄意义可以总结如下：做一个好榜样将是为我们大家创造更光明的未来的最有效的手段—一个充满欢乐色彩的世界，就像印象派画家以及其他人展望的那样。
