"Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members." - Pearl S. Buck 我們的社會(huì)必須實(shí)踐老人不懼怕年輕人,也不被年輕人拋棄,因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)文明的考驗(yàn)在于其如何照顧無助的成員。 這句話闡釋了一個(gè)文明社會(huì)應(yīng)該關(guān)愛和尊重老人,不讓老人感到被遺棄。 適用主題：人口老齡化及跨代關(guān)系等等 As the world's population ages, Pearl S. Buck’s quote serves as an important reminder for societies to care for their elderly. In China, empty nesters are increasingly left behind as young people move to cities for work. As Pearl S. Buck said, "Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members." We must strengthen intergenerational bonds through community programs like pairing children with elderly neighbors for regular visits. Doing so promotes mutual understanding and combats loneliness. When all members feel included and valued, this fosters social cohesion. By heeding Pearl Buck’s wisdom, we can build communities that uplift across ages. 譯文：隨著世界人口老齡化,Pearl S. Buck的名言成為社會(huì)關(guān)愛老年人的重要提醒。在中國(guó),空巢老人被越來越多到城市工作的年輕人拋棄。正如Pearl S. Buck所說,“我們的社會(huì)必須讓老年人不再懼怕年輕人,也不被年輕人遺棄,因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)文明社會(huì)照顧無助者的方式是它的考驗(yàn)?！蔽覀儽仨毻ㄟ^組織兒童定期探訪鄰里老人等社區(qū)計(jì)劃來加強(qiáng)代際紐帶。這將促進(jìn)相互理解,減輕孤獨(dú)感。當(dāng)所有成員都感受到被包容和重視,社會(huì)凝聚力就得到增強(qiáng)。遵循Pearl Buck的智慧,我們可以打造關(guān)愛所有年齡階層的社區(qū)。
