　　Becoming a Child of Nature: It's a Twofold Task of Parents and Children
　�。ㄗ龃笞匀坏暮⒆�——父母與孩子雙方的任務(wù)）
　　1. If children discover the beauty of nature while they are young, they will respect nature and try to preserve it when they are older. Parents play an essential role in helping their children make this discovery. Although young children are not able to understand the complex relationship of man to his environment, they can be educated in this aspect and learn how to respect nature and gain a simplified understanding of the importance of a healthy ecological environment. Helping children to gain such an appreciation and understanding can be an exciting adventure which is available to all that are willing to explore and use their senses of touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing.
　　1、如果孩子們?cè)谀暧椎臅r(shí)候發(fā)現(xiàn)了自然的美，他們長(zhǎng)大了就會(huì)尊重自然，保護(hù)自然。父母親在幫助孩子們發(fā)現(xiàn)這種美的過(guò)程中起著關(guān)鍵作用。盡管孩子們不能理解人類和環(huán)境之間的復(fù)雜關(guān)系，但他們可以得到這方面的教育，學(xué)會(huì)尊重自然，簡(jiǎn)單地理解擁有健康生態(tài)環(huán)境的重要性。幫助孩子們獲得欣賞自然之美、理解環(huán)境之重要性的能力可能是一種令人激動(dòng)的經(jīng)歷，所有愿意開(kāi)發(fā)和利用觸覺(jué)、味覺(jué)、嗅覺(jué)、視覺(jué)和聽(tīng)覺(jué)的人都可享受這種經(jīng)歷。
　　2. Wonderful phenomena of nature are all around us. For example, have you ever awakened early to watch the sun rise? Have you ever stopped to observe a setting sun, a star-filled sky, or an October moon? Have you ever gone out after a rainfall and delighted in the scent of the fresh air? Have you ever taken time to listen to the song of the birds, the trees' rustling in the wind or the music of the crickets? Have you ever held a seashell to your ear and heard the roar of the ocean? Have you ever tasted fresh berries, melon or spring water? Have you ever shared the above experience with your children?
　　2、我們身邊到處都是奇妙的自然現(xiàn)象。比如，你曾清早起床到外面觀看過(guò)日出嗎？你曾停下來(lái)觀察過(guò)夕陽(yáng)西下、繁星滿天或十月夜空的明月嗎？你曾雨后外出，享受過(guò)清新空氣的滋味嗎？你曾花時(shí)間側(cè)耳傾聽(tīng)過(guò)鳥(niǎo)兒婉轉(zhuǎn)、風(fēng)吹林梢或蟋蟀鳴唱嗎？你曾把貝殼貼在耳邊，傾聽(tīng)過(guò)海洋的呼嘯嗎？你曾嘗過(guò)新鮮莓子、瓜果或泉水的滋味嗎？你曾和你的孩子們分享過(guò)上述的經(jīng)歷嗎？
　　3. To help children gain an understanding of the world around them and the importance of ecology, parents can use interesting objects from their children's everyday lives. For example, most children are familiar with rocks. They have seen them, touched them, and played with them. However, they will not discover the beauty and uses of rocks unless you help them. Collect some rocks and point out that some rocks are minerals, others may be used for decorations, like marbles used in building houses, and still other rocks are used to build roads. Visiting mountains if possible can help them gain a better understanding of rocks.
　　3、父母可用孩子們?nèi)粘Ｉ�活中�?jiàn)到的令人感興趣的具體東西來(lái)幫助他們理解周圍的世界，理解生態(tài)的重要性。例如，大多數(shù)孩子都熟悉石子，他們親眼見(jiàn)過(guò)石頭，摸過(guò)石頭，也玩過(guò)石頭。然而，如果不幫助他們，他們不會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)石頭的美麗和用途。收集一些石頭，告訴他們有些是礦石，有些可以作裝飾用，像用來(lái)建造房子的大理石—樣，還有一些可以用來(lái)鋪路。如果可能，就去看看山，這樣能幫助他們更好地認(rèn)識(shí)巖石。
　　4. Most young children love to play in dirt. You can help your children to gain the concept that soil is not just dirt but something necessary for life. Most plant life grows in some form of soil. Take your children for a visit to gardens and farms where food is grown. Perhaps your children can have their own plants or gardens. You can explain to them that plants are necessary not only for food but also for controlling floods. During a time of heavy rain or snow, plants help to absorb the moisture.
　　4、大多數(shù)孩子都喜歡玩泥土。你可以幫助你的孩子獲得這樣一個(gè)概念：土壤不僅僅是“泥土”，而且是生活必需的東西。大多數(shù)植物都在某種土壤中生長(zhǎng)。帶孩子們?nèi)�參觀花園和種食物的農(nóng)場(chǎng)。也許，你的孩子有自己的植物或花園。你可以向孩子們解釋，植物不僅是制作食品所必要的，而且對(duì)于控制洪水也是不可少的。下大雨或大雪時(shí)，植物有助于吸收水分。
