生活如海，人似小船遨游海上。当大雾遮蔽了航程，总有一个榜样如灯照亮一隅，指引你走向前方。
Life is like the sea, and people are like small boats sailing on the sea. When the heavy fog covers the journey, there is always an example like a lamp illuminating a corner, guiding you towards the front.

溪流以大海为榜样，于是它拼命地奔跑；小苗以大树为榜样，于是它奋力地拔节；星星以月亮为榜样，于是发出微光……凡此种种，无一没有榜样，我的榜样又在哪里呢？
The stream takes the sea as an example, so it runs desperately; The seedling took the big tree as an example, so it vigorously pulled out its knots; Stars take the moon as an example and emit a faint light; … All of these things are without role models, where is my role model?
谁的青春不曾迷茫？谁一路前行会所向披靡？我知道现在最重要的事情就是学习，但有时还是会失去动力。父母说，去找个榜样吧！会感染你、引领你的。于是在电视中、书本中，我开始寻找，可他们总是高不可攀或遥不可及。
Whose youth has never been lost? Who travels all the way towards invincibility? I know the most important thing now is to study, but sometimes I still lose motivation. Parents say, go find a role model! It will infect and guide you. So in TV and books, I started searching, but they were always unattainable or out of reach.
今年加长版的寒假里，我终于找到了榜样。
During this year's extended winter vacation, I finally found a role model.
这个寒假，因为疫情原因，变得特别漫长。我在家听网课，哥哥也不能返校，蓦地发现榜样就在身边。哥哥现在读博士，经常写论文写到晚上十二点多。记得有一次，半夜我迷迷糊糊地起床上厕所，书房的灯透过门缝射出来亮得刺眼。凑到门边，我看见哥哥正聚精会神地在电脑上写着论文，资料堆满了书桌，他的手在键盘上飞舞，仿佛不会疲倦似的。
This winter vacation has become particularly long due to the pandemic. I was attending online classes at home, and my brother couldn't go back to school either. Suddenly, I found that my role model was right beside me. My brother is currently pursuing a PhD and often writes papers until after midnight. I remember once, in the middle of the night, I woke up groggily to go to the bathroom, and the light in my study shone through the crack in the door, glaring brightly. Approaching the door, I saw my brother engrossed in writing his paper on the computer. The desk was filled with materials, and his hands danced on the keyboard as if he wouldn't tire.
我突然想起哥哥平日里学习动力满满，劲头十足的样子。踏破铁鞋无觅处，原来榜样在身边。刹那间，哥哥变得如那一盏亮着的灯般明亮而耀眼。
I suddenly remembered my older brother's energetic and enthusiastic attitude towards studying on a regular basis. Stepping through iron shoes, there is nowhere to be found. It turns out that role models are by my side. In an instant, my brother became as bright and dazzling as that bright lamp.
依稀想起小时候，比我大十来岁的哥哥是如何“挑灯夜读”，如何努力学习。他总是在书房里不停地写啊读啊，精神抖擞，从不颓丧。还记得父母指着哥哥的书房对我说：“哥哥就是你的榜样，你要向他学习呀！”我总是撇撇嘴，不屑一顾地说：“不就是学习吗？谁不会呀？”可是现在，我才发现学习有多么辛苦！
I vaguely remember how my older brother, who was ten years older than me, was when I was a child; Staying up late to read; How to study hard. He always keeps writing and reading in the study, full of energy and never feeling down. I still remember my parents pointing to my brother's study and saying to me, '; Brother is your role model, you should learn from him! ” I always sneer and say disdainfully, '; Isn't it just learning? Who wouldn't know? ” But now, I realize how hard it is to study!
我曾不解地问哥哥：“你已经是博士了，为什么还要这么折腾自己啊？”“学习哪有不辛苦的？不拿出十二分的努力，谁给你最好的结果啊？苦尽甘来……”哥哥笑着回答我。我渐渐明白了他的意思，于是我也努力着，沿着他的足迹不断迈进。学业加重，我却再也没有迷惘，心中有着坚定的信念，脚步也随之箭步如飞。毕竟，正如父母所说，榜样正感染着我，引领着我……
I once asked my brother in confusion:; You are already a PhD, why do you still bother yourself like this? ” “ Where is learning not hard? Without putting in twelve points of effort, who will give you the best result? Hardship is over, sweetness comes… … ” My brother smiled and answered me. I gradually understood his meaning, so I also tried my best to keep moving forward along his footsteps. My studies have intensified, but I am no longer confused. I have a firm belief in my heart, and my footsteps have flown with me. After all, as my parents said, role models are infecting me and guiding me; …
在前方的道路上，榜样如灯，那么耀眼而明亮，给我力量和信心。为了心中的信念，值得我拼尽全力！
On the road ahead, role models are like lamps, shining brightly and giving me strength and confidence. For the belief in my heart, it is worth my best effort!
