“我们当代少年的责任不在于他人，而完全取决于我们自己。”每当我读到梁启超先生的《少年中国说》，我都会产生一些感触。一百多年前，梁启超先生呼唤着：“少年强则国强，少年独立则国独立！”这句话深深地激励着我。作为新中国的当代少年，我暗自发誓，要发奋图强，绝不浪费自己宝贵的青春岁月。
The responsibility of our contemporary youth does not lie with others, but entirely depends on ourselves. "Every time I read Mr. Liang Qichao's" A Young China ", I have some feelings. More than a hundred years ago, Mr. Liang Qichao called out, 'If the youth is strong, the country will be strong; if the youth is independent, the country will be independent!' This sentence deeply inspired me. As a contemporary youth of New China, I secretly swear to work hard and never waste my precious youth.
确立志向容易，实践起来难啊！年轻的我并不知道如何成为新时代的优秀少年。在我迷茫无方的时候，我去询问了妈妈：“是不是只有为国家做出贡献才能成为好少年？像全红婵在东京奥运会上获得跳水冠军那样，还是像雷锋叔叔那样舍己为人、无私奉献……”妈妈微笑着对我说：“想要成为新时代的优秀少年，首先你要拥有高尚的品德，要树立正确的人生观和价值观；要具备科学的知识体系和强大的学习能力；还要有健康的体魄，热爱劳动、乐于助人等等，这些都能使你成为当代的优秀少年。”
It's easy to establish aspirations, but difficult to put them into practice! As a young person, I don't know how to become an excellent teenager in the new era. When I was lost and at a loss, I asked my mother, "Is it only by contributing to the country that one can become a good teenager? Like Quan Hongchan who won the diving championship at the Tokyo Olympics, or like Uncle Lei Feng who sacrificed himself and selflessly..." My mother smiled and said to me, "To become an excellent teenager in the new era, you must first have noble character, establish a correct outlook on life and values; have a scientific knowledge system and strong learning ability; also have a healthy body, love labor, be willing to help others, and so on. All of these can make you an excellent teenager in the contemporary era
听完妈妈的话，我立刻感觉到她说的那个人就是我。我还记得有一次在公交车上，我主动给一位老奶奶让座；放学后走在路上，我会帮助路人捡起他们掉落的东西。在家里，我尊敬长辈、爱护幼小；在学校里，我团结同学，热爱集体。我越想越高兴，兴奋地对妈妈说：“我也是当代的优秀少年了”。
After listening to my mother's words, I immediately felt that the person she was referring to was me. I still remember one time on the bus, I voluntarily offered my seat to an old lady; After school, when walking on the road, I will help passersby pick up things they have dropped. At home, I respect elders and cherish young children; In school, I unite my classmates and love the collective. The more I think about it, the happier I become. Excitedly, I say to my mother, 'I am also an outstanding young man of the times.'.
成年人常说，少年儿童是祖国的未来和希望。我相信，如果我能努力学习，做好自己的事，与家人和朋友和睦相处，那么我一定能成为大家心目中的优秀少年！
Adults often say that children are the future and hope of our country. I believe that if I can study hard, do my own thing well, and get along well with my family and friends, then I will definitely become an excellent young man in everyone's mind!
