As is clearly depicted in the above picture, a daughter tells his mother a piece of good news that she has been admitted to a university as her mother desires. There is no denial in saying that the cartoon leaves us such a deep impression that we can not help thinking over a question: What role should parents play in their children’s growth?

　　From my point of view, during the process of a child’s growth, the role of parents is mainly listed as the following two aspects. On one hand, there is no doubt that parents are liable to take good care of their children. On the other hand, in children’s personal growth, parents ought to play a role as a person who helps children develop self-dependence, which carries more significant to children’s future life. In other words, parents should encourage their sons or daughters to be independent rather than reliant on others.

　　To conclude, in children’s personal growth, parents are responsible to care for their children. However, considering that they will grow up and live their own life in some day, parents should enable their children to acquire the ability to be self-independent.

　　譯文：如上所示，一個女兒告訴她媽媽有一個好消息：她已經(jīng)考上媽媽為她選擇的大學(xué)了。不可否認(rèn)的是，這幅畫給我們留下了非常深刻的印象，因此我們禁不住要思考這樣一個問題，那就是，父母在子女成長過程中應(yīng)該扮演什么角色呢?

　　個人認(rèn)為，父母在子女成長過程中所扮演的角色主要有以下兩方面。一方面，毫無疑問，父母有責(zé)任照顧好自己子女。另一方面，在子女的成長過程中，父母應(yīng)扮演幫助子女養(yǎng)成自立的角色，因為自立對子女的未來成長是至關(guān)重要的。換句話說，父母應(yīng)該鼓勵自己的孩子自力更生而不是依賴他人。

　　總之，在子女的個人成長過程中，父母有責(zé)任照顧好子女。然而，考慮到總有一天子女會長大成人，自己生活，因此父母應(yīng)該讓子女養(yǎng)成自立更勝的能力。
