“小嘛小儿郎，背着那书包上学堂。不怕太阳晒，也不怕那风雨狂；只怕先生骂我懒呀，没有学问无脸见爹娘……”
Little brat, carry that backpack to school. I'm not afraid of the sun or the wind and rain; I'm afraid my husband will call me lazy, ignorant and shameless to see my parents
说起书包，书包是学生不可缺少的一种工具，说它是工具，是因为它的用途很多，小小的书包里既可以装书本和学习用品，还可以装一些零碎的东西。更是装着从古到今天文地理的知识！它绝对是有着悠久发展史，一步一步走到今天，至少在中国是一种尚未被淘汰的文化产物。想起来，那些学贯中西，满腹经纶的人，哪一个不是得先背着它走过那漫漫的求学岁月？
Speaking of backpacks, backpacks are an indispensable tool for students. They are called tools because they have many uses. A small backpack can hold books and study supplies, as well as some miscellaneous items. It also contains knowledge of geography and literature from ancient times to the present day! It definitely has a long history of development, step by step to today, at least in China, it is a cultural product that has not yet been eliminated. Thinking back, those who have studied both Chinese and Western cultures and are full of knowledge, which one of them didn't have to carry it through the long years of learning?
最早的书包是一种书箱。古时的读书人常言“琴剑书箱”，书箱是古代读书人行走江湖，进京赶考必不可少的“三大件”之一，几乎每位书生都人手一份。书箱的设计大都比较小巧，两边带有耳环，便于背负。如果书箱插上旗子，表明书生奉旨赶考，以此防止沿途强盗土匪打劫。历届披红挂彩的状元先前在肩上披着的可不是红花，而是那蕴集了无数文化瑰宝的书箱，是压在他们身上十余年的书箱。( 作文网 wWW.zUowEnBA.neT )
The earliest backpack was a type of book box. In ancient times, scholars often referred to it as the "qin jian shu box". The shu box was one of the "three essential items" for ancient scholars to travel in the rivers and lakes, and to take exams in the capital. Almost every scholar had one. The design of book boxes is mostly compact, with earrings on both sides for easy carrying. If a flag is placed on the bookshelf, it indicates that the scholar has been ordered to rush for the exam, in order to prevent bandits and robbers from robbing along the way. The top scorers who have been adorned with red flowers in previous years did not wear red flowers on their shoulders, but rather the bookcases that contained countless cultural treasures, which had been weighing on them for more than ten years.
再后来，取代书箱的是单肩斜背的书包。听爸爸说，他小时侯就背着这样的书包——一个军绿色的单肩斜背书包，一背就是六年。那种单一的形式在他们心中扎下了根，那种书包承载着那一代人极强的求知欲，它让那一代人感到了理想与现实的距离。那个年代，他们不得不把它小心的珍藏：因为取而代之的或许是一把锄头和一个蛇皮袋。因此，书包便成了他们神圣而又略带悲伤的向往。
Later on, the book box was replaced by a one shoulder slanted backpack. According to my dad, he used to carry this kind of backpack when he was a child - a military green one shoulder slanted backpack, which he carried for six years. That singular form took root in their hearts, and that backpack carried the strong thirst for knowledge of that generation, making them feel the distance between ideals and reality. In that era, they had to carefully preserve it: perhaps replaced by a hoe and a snake skin bag. Therefore, backpacks became their sacred yet slightly sad longing.
现在，书包成为梦想的岁月早已随着历史的巨浪翻滚而去，接踵而至的是书包泛滥的时代：双肩、单挎、拖箱式……这不能不让我们的父辈感慨：“时过境迁，沧海桑田，你已不是当初的少年，我们的单肩斜包只是永远的怀念。时代在巨变啊！”可是现今的我们，好像再没有人视书包为至圣至洁之物了，相反，它们似乎成为了学子们的埋怨与负担。对于我们中学生而言，书包是一种再常见不过的东西了。每当放学时，看着同学们背上形式各样的漂亮书包，甚至拉着有轮滑的拉杆式书包，这本应是快乐的，可是大家却一个个都叫苦连天，我不禁陷入沉思：小孩子最初单纯的快乐就是拥有一个漂亮的书包，那时的书包虽然不沉，却承载着一个稚嫩孩童最初的梦，像是为他们插上了永不疲倦的双翅。可是，当一件事物不再新鲜时，为它倾注的所有理由都仿佛那么的不堪一击，几乎所有人都开始有些麻木地认为：背书包是责任。于是，他们不再欣喜地整理课本，收拾书包了。可转念一想，若是没有书包最初带给我们的“启蒙与沉淀”，你的人生路上是否还有方向？梦想是否还能扬帆起航？其实书包里那沉甸甸的并非仅仅是书本，更是父母对子女的希望，是我们在追求梦想的道路上的满腔热血和无尽能量！
Nowadays, the time when backpacks became dreams has long passed with the rolling waves of history, followed by the era of backpack proliferation: backpacks, single shoulder bags, and suitcases... This cannot help but make our parents sigh: "Time has passed, the sea has changed, you are no longer the youth you used to be, our single shoulder slanted bags are just eternal memories. The times are changing!" But nowadays, it seems that no one regards backpacks as the most sacred and pure thing anymore. On the contrary, they seem to have become the complaints and burdens of students. For us middle school students, backpacks are a very common thing. Every time after school, watching my classmates carry all kinds of beautiful backpacks, even pull roller skates, it should be happy, but everyone complains endlessly. I can't help but ponder: the initial pure happiness of children is to have a beautiful backpack. Although the backpack is not heavy at that time, it carries the initial dream of a young child, as if it has given them wings that never tire. However, when something is no longer fresh, all the reasons poured into it seem so fragile that almost everyone begins to numb themselves to the idea that endorsement bags are responsibility. So they stopped happily organizing their textbooks and packing their backpacks. On second thought, if it weren't for the initial enlightenment and precipitation brought by backpacks, would your life still have direction? Can dreams still set sail? In fact, what is heavy in the backpack is not just books, but also the hope of parents for their children, the passion and endless energy we have on the path of pursuing our dreams!
时间的指针拨动着跳动的心弦，岁月在流逝，并非所有人都有机会背上书包。一旦有一天你真的告别了它，那意味着你已失去了一种极其美好的东西，是校园生活，亦或是你匆匆的青春时光？
The pointer of time touches the beating heartstrings, as time passes by, not everyone has the opportunity to carry a backpack. Once one day you really say goodbye to it, does it mean that you have lost something extremely beautiful, whether it's campus life or your fleeting youth?
书包存在的意义，就是让我们用它来创造价值，在懂得珍惜时间的同时，还应该对它呵护倍至。承载上辈希望，吾辈梦想，国之腾飞！
The significance of the existence of backpacks is to allow us to create value with them. While cherishing time, we should also take great care of them. Carrying the hopes of our predecessors, our dreams, and the soaring of our country!
