《英语阅读》Caring for the future, caring for the elderly

《英语阅读》关心未来，关爱长者。最近小编在看一个综艺节目《长命百二岁》，主要是探讨世界各地人口老化，长者晚年生活问题。我发现老人需要的是关怀，更希望与年轻人呆着一起。

1.We should not underestimate the elderly. We should bring the elderly into our new era, instead of letting them be abandoned by the times. We can teach the elderly to play with technology products, teach them to play mobile phones, and let them use mobile phones to communicate with young people, so that they can solve their loneliness and loneliness.

我们不要小看了老人，我们应该把老人带入到我们的新时代当中去，而不是让他们被时代抛弃。我们可以教老人玩科技产品，教他们玩手机，让他们用手机来和年轻人进行交流，这样能够排解他们的寂寞，孤独。

2. Old people need more than just companionship. They are very lonely, so they also hope that there are things that can resolve loneliness. When young people are free, they should accompany the elderly to do things they like. For example, old people like to write calligraphy. Young people can write calligraphy with the elderly and discuss the content of calligraphy. I believe the elderly are very willing to talk to you.

老人需要的也不仅仅是陪伴，他们很孤独，所以也希望有事情可以排解寂寞。平常年轻人有空的时候应该陪老人做他们喜欢的事情，比如老人喜欢写书法，年轻人就可以跟老人一起来写书法，并且探讨一下书法的内容。相信老人都很愿意和你聊起来。

3. Every old man must have regrets, as a young man can help the elderly to make up for his regrets during his youth. For example, when the old man is young, he has a musical dream. When he is old, he still can't let go. As a younger generation, he can help the elderly to complete his musical dream.

每个老人一定都会有遗憾的事情，作为年轻人可以帮助老人弥补他年轻时期时候的遗憾。比如说老人年轻的时候有一个音乐梦，他老的时候还是放不下，那么作为晚辈可以帮助老人完成他的音乐梦。

4. As young people, they are obliged to popularize the knowledge about being deceived to the elderly. Many old people around me have been deceived. In fact, I think that the elderly are not stupid, but they have not found that the times are changing, and they have not thought so many scammers today. And the younger generations around us did not promptly popularize this kind of knowledge to them. When the old man is deceived, he will blame the old man.

作为年轻人，有义务向老人普及关于上当受骗的知识，在我身边有很多老人都上当受骗过。其实我认为老人并不是笨，而是他们没有发现时代在改变，也没想到如今的骗子这么多。而我们身边的晚辈又没有及时的向他们普及这一类知识。在老人上当受骗后反而去责怪老人。

5. In fact, every elderly person wants to be useful to their children. We should not think that honouring the elderly is just to let the elderly enjoy the blessings and let them do nothing. This will make them feel that they are useless, so usually we can ask the elderly for some problems they are good at, and occasionally let the elderly Help yourself with some simple housework. This way the old man’s sense of existence can be reflected.

其实每个老人都希望自己对子女是有用的。我们不要以为孝敬老人仅仅是让老人享清福，让他们什么事都不做，这反而会让他们觉得自己是无用的，所以平常我们可以多多向老人请教一些他们擅长的问题，偶尔也可以让老人帮自己做一些简单的家务。这样老人的存在感才能够体现出来。
