日本之所以能在历史上快速崛起，是因为明治维新；而之所以会有明治维新，是因为日本懂得变通。当他们意识到自己的国家就要湮没在历史长河中时，他们不再固执己见，而是敞开胸怀接受先进文明。一个国家尚且如此，更何况一个人呢？
The reason why Japan was able to rise rapidly in history is because of the Meiji Restoration; The reason for the Meiji Restoration was that Japan knew how to be flexible. When they realize that their country is about to disappear into the long river of history, they no longer cling to their own opinions, but open their hearts to accept advanced civilization. A country is like this, let alone an individual?
驻足回望历史，马戛尔尼访华时，我们却自居天朝上邦，物产应有尽有，无需与英国通商，从而错失一个能跟进世界潮流的机会。当时皇帝的不知变更，让中国至此一步一步地落后于世界，一步一步地被轻而易举地征服。试想，一群拿着红缨枪，持盾牌、弓箭的人，与一批有着洋枪洋炮的军队，孰会获胜？若不是当初的固执，怎么会有这番下场？读史明鉴，这也就是能理解材料中文文为何会盲目地理解家长的意思了。但文文的不知变通所导致的后果也足以让我们敲响了警钟。
Looking back at history, during Macartney's visit to China, we saw ourselves as a sovereign state with abundant resources and no need to trade with Britain, thus missing an opportunity to keep up with the world trend. At that time, the emperor's unfamiliarity with change caused China to fall behind the world step by step and be easily conquered step by step. Imagine a group of people holding red tassels, shields, bows and arrows, or an army with foreign guns and cannons, who would win? If it weren't for his stubbornness back then, how could he have ended up like this? By reading the Book of History, one can understand why the Chinese text in the material blindly interprets the parents' meaning. But the consequences of Wen Wen's lack of flexibility are enough to sound the alarm for us.
这使我想起了一次考试，那次遇到的难题，是之前老师讲过的类型，但我的激动却又马上烟消去散。我发现自己只记得讲述的那题的解法，对这题却全然束手无策。最后，就以3分之差与目标擦肩而过。所以，要想取得成功或是辉煌，就必须要学会灵活变通。教育孩子应该把话留有余地，而不是绝对化。对于个人来说，我认为应该把上课例题延伸拓展，不能拘泥于一小点，而应放眼展望。生活中的琐事，也应如此，古有让地三尺的佳传，不正是灵活应对的体现？
This reminds me of an exam where I encountered a difficult problem of the type my teacher had previously discussed, but my excitement immediately dissipated. I found that I only remembered the solution to the problem I was talking about, but I was completely helpless about it. Finally, they narrowly missed the target by a margin of 3 points. So, in order to achieve success or glory, one must learn to be flexible and adaptable. Education for children should leave room for dialogue, rather than absolutism. For me personally, I believe that class examples should be extended and expanded, not confined to a small point, but should have a broader perspective. The trivial matters in life should also be handled in the same way. The ancient legend of giving up three feet of land is a manifestation of flexible coping?
懂得变通，不仅可以让人与人之间的关系和睦融洽，而且能让社会美好安宁。而对于我们来说，“少年强则国强；少年智则国智；少年雄于地球，则国雄于地球”的愿望就是建立在青少年自强、自立的基础上的，而这又是建立在灵活变通、机智应对的基础上的。所以，中国在意识到危机后，终于原以变通来使国家富强。
Knowing how to be flexible not only enables harmonious relationships between people, but also contributes to a beautiful and peaceful society. And for us, '; A strong youth makes a strong country; Youth intelligence is national intelligence; If a young man is strong on Earth, then a country is strong on Earth; The desire of youth is built on the foundation of self-improvement and self-reliance, which in turn is based on flexibility, adaptability, and quick response. So, after realizing the crisis, China finally resorted to flexibility to make the country prosperous and strong.
世界的脚步会因固执而停滞不前，便绝不会因变通而驻足。反之，它会向着新的世纪迈步前进。
The footsteps of the world will stagnate due to stubbornness, and will never stop due to flexibility. On the contrary, it will move forward towards a new century.
