中国有句古话叫“玩物丧志”。我的父母、老师们也常常告诫我:“别玩了,认真读书才是最重要的。”
There is an ancient Chinese saying that goes, 'Playing with things leads to losing one's will.'. My parents and teachers often warn me, "Stop playing, serious study is the most important thing
“玩”在他们眼里似乎就是一无是处、不求上进的代名词。然而我却不敢苟同,我认为“会玩,才好”。
In their eyes, 'play' seems to be synonymous with being useless and not striving for progress. However, I do not agree. I believe that 'being able to play is good'.
我喜欢玩一些益智玩具。就拿魔方来说,刚开始我非常喜欢玩魔方,但每次就只能拼好一面,还原其他几面的时候,第一面又坏了。
I like to play with some educational toys. Take Rubik's Cube as an example. At first, I really enjoyed playing with Rubik's Cube, but I could only solve one side each time. When I tried to replicate the other sides, the first side broke again.
我常常为此苦恼不已,因为没有成就感便不再痴迷于它。
I often suffer greatly from this because without a sense of achievement, I no longer become obsessed with it.
再次拿起魔方是去年的暑假,我看着妹妹不知道从哪个犄角旮旯里翻出的魔方,在那儿不停地摆弄,想起了自己玩时候的情景,这次我准备仔细钻研一番。
It was last summer when I picked up the Rubik's Cube again. I watched my sister dig it out from an unknown corner and keep playing with it. It reminded me of the scene when I was playing, and this time I plan to study it carefully.
可是几天之后还是没有一点儿成效,让我有些郁闷。
But after a few days, there was still no effect, which made me a little depressed.
于是我央求爸爸在网上找一个魔方教学视频让我学习,我跟着视频里说的公式一步一步操作,遇到难懂的地方重复观看,并在本子上记录下步骤。在我不懈的坚持下,一个三阶魔方终于被还原了,我激动不已。
So I begged my dad to find a Rubik's Cube tutorial video online for me to learn. I followed the formula in the video step by step, repeated watching when encountering difficult to understand parts, and recorded the steps in my notebook. With my unremitting persistence, a third-order Rubik's Cube was finally restored, and I was thrilled.
爸爸告诉我:“玩魔方也是需要智慧的,它看似普普通通,却变幻莫测,魔方的还原过程是一个连续不断的环节,每一步紧密相扣,稍微不留神,就容易‘一步错,步步错’。”
My dad told me, "Playing Rubik's Cube also requires wisdom. It may seem ordinary, but it is unpredictable. The process of restoring Rubik's Cube is a continuous process, with each step closely linked. If you are not careful, it is easy to make mistakes step by step
我也深刻领悟了这个道理。现在,我可以不看视频轻松完成三阶、四阶魔方还原。玩魔方可以锻炼我手、眼、脑的协调能力,可以提高我的记忆力、观察力和空间思维能力,还有利于提高我的计算能力和应变能力,真是一举多得。我认为“会玩,才好”。
I have also deeply understood this principle. Now, I can easily complete third and fourth order Rubik's Cube reconstructions without watching videos. Playing Rubik's Cube can exercise my hand, eye, and brain coordination skills, improve my memory, observation, and spatial thinking abilities, as well as enhance my calculation and adaptability. It's truly a win-win situation. I think 'being able to play is good'.
说到玩,乐高也是我的最爱。“六一”儿童节的时候,阿姨送了我一盒乐高,要拼的是一个梦幻城堡。打开盒子,看到那一个个豆粒般大小的零部件,我有些绝望,但还是阻碍不了我对乐高的热爱,准备开动。
When it comes to playing, LEGO is also my favorite. On Children's Day, my aunt sent me a box of Lego to fight for a dream castle. Opening the box and seeing the bean sized components, I felt a bit hopeless, but it still couldn't stop my love for LEGO and I was ready to start.
当天晚上我就立即开拼,开始一切顺利,慢慢地到了后面我连图纸都看不懂,零件也找不到,这下有点儿犯难了。
That night, I immediately started assembling and everything went smoothly. However, towards the end, I couldn't even understand the drawings or find the parts, which made it a bit difficult.
妈妈在旁边告诉我:“静下心,把图纸好好研究研究,脑子里想想这个城堡到底是什么样子的?”
My mother told me beside me, 'Calm down, study the blueprint carefully, and think about what this castle looks like in your mind.'
在妈妈的帮助下,我把零件终于找全了,可又一个难题出现在了眼前,这一步要怎么拼呢?我急得像热锅上的蚂蚁,“难道这个乐高就到此终结了?”
With the help of my mother, I finally found all the parts, but another difficult problem appeared in front of me. How should I assemble this step? I'm as anxious as ants on a hot pot, 'Does this Lego end here?'
不行!我开始飞速运转自己的大脑和手指,历经一个晚上,我终于弄懂了这个城堡的拼接原理,一个小城堡在我手下跃然而出。“这可是我五天的努力换来的。”我心里想着。
No way! I began to rapidly manipulate my brain and fingers, and after a night, I finally understood the splicing principle of this castle. A small castle leapt out under my command. This is the result of my five days of hard work, "I thought to myself.
玩乐高可以提升我的想象力和动手能力,培养我的学习能力,让我体验到成功的喜悦,真正感受到有付出才会有回报。
Playing LEGO can enhance my imagination and hands-on ability, cultivate my learning ability, allow me to experience the joy of success, and truly feel that only with effort can there be rewards.
我认为“会玩,才好!”。玩,不仅仅是放松,在玩的时候我开动了脑筋,付出了努力,也收获了很多。所以“玩物起志”才是我玩的态度。
I think 'being able to play is good!'. Playing is not just about relaxing. While playing, I used my brain, put in effort, and gained a lot. So 'playing with things makes me ambitious' is my attitude towards playing.
人生中还有许许多多的有趣事等待我去挖掘。“玩”固然是好事,但是“会玩”才是真理。
There are still many interesting things in life waiting for me to explore. Playing is certainly a good thing, but being able to play is the truth.
