[00:01.87]易考范文十三
[00:04.98]Since the reform and opening-up ,
[00:08.99]there has been a craze for going abroad in China.
[00:12.46]Many students go abroad to study; many scholars go abroad to visit;
[00:17.71]many tourists go abroad to travel;
[00:20.27]even many people go abroad to get married.
[00:23.67]There have been quite a lot of discussions over this phenomenon.
[00:27.79]But is going abroad really a fawning² on foreign countries?
[00:32.18]I do not think so.
[00:34.14]With the development of the transportation,
[00:37.42]it is becoming easier and easier to go to another country today.
[00:42.14]Just like many foreigners come to study, visit or live in China,
[00:47.24]Chinese people also have various reasons to go abroad.
[00:51.81] We can not blame them for their favorite and choice.
[00:55.56]And many people who have been abroad would come back to
[00:59.18] contribute to China's development. Actually, they are patriotic³.
[01:04.52]But for those who are wholly indulged in the foreign things
[01:08.28]and are completely negative to their mother country China,
[01:12.02] we should censure⁴ and instruct them.
[01:14.78]In addition, those who do not go abroad also fawn¹ on foreign countries
[01:20.32]should be blamed. They just have no chance to go abroad
[01:24.30]but really worship foreign things blindly.
[01:27.40]So, going abroad does not mean a fawning on foreign countries.
[01:32.61]We have to bear in mind wherever we are, we should not betray our mother country!
