你曾经打过工吗？你曾否用自己的劳动汗水换得一份结晶品呢？你尝试过花自己辛辛苦苦挣回来的钱吗？假如你一切都“没有”，那么就去体会一下吧！但每当谈到中学生打工时，很多家长都会退避三舍：孩子们毕竟还是学生，应该以学习为重，干吗要分散精力去打工？还有的顾虑到社会太复杂了，人心险恶，没有了家长的保护，他们会遭人暗算的。就这样，家长都怀着对子女们的爱护而对中学生打工一票否决。难道中学生打工真的如此险象环生、弊大于利吗？我认为答案是否定的。
Have you ever worked? Have you ever traded your sweat for a crystal? Have you ever tried to spend your hard earned money? If you don't have everything, then go and experience it! But when it comes to working for middle school students, many parents will give up: after all, children are still students, so they should pay more attention to learning. Why should they distract themselves from working? There are also concerns that the society is too complex and dangerous. Without the protection of parents, they will be calculated by others. In this way, parents with the love for their children and middle school students to work one vote veto. Is it true that middle school students work in such a dangerous situation that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages? I think the answer is No.
中学时期正是由少年向成人的重要转折时期，是青少年开始认识社会的良好时期。在这个思想渐熟的时期，光靠老师在课堂上所传授的知识，远远不能满足他们对生活的渴望。只有真正接触社会，参加实践，才能慢慢感受到社会的真实面貌。正如要加热试管，一定要在加热前将试管均匀预热一样。而中学生打工便是试管的“预热期”。首先，打工可以增强对社会的认识。
Middle school is an important transition period from teenagers to adults, which is a good time for teenagers to start to understand society. In this period of maturity, teachers' knowledge in class can not satisfy their desire for life. Only by truly contacting the society and participating in practice can we slowly feel the real face of the society. Just as to heat the tube, make sure to preheat the tube evenly before heating. And middle school students working is the "preheating period" of test tubes. First of all, working can enhance the understanding of society.
假如你在一所餐厅里当清洁工，你一定会遇到在厨房里洗许多碗筷的辛苦；也可能会遇到因自己工作表现突出，由清洁工晋升为楼面服务员的喜悦；还可能会遇到餐厅由于经济不景气而导致裁员的苦况……这一切，是不会在书本中体会得到的，也是不会在老师的讲述中领悟得到，而你却亲耳听到，亲眼目睹，亲身体会到。有过了这样的经历，在日后走上社会时人便不会被一大堆突如其来的问题扩得不知所措了。其次，打工还可以增强对人生的认识。
If you work as a cleaner in a restaurant, you will certainly encounter the hard work of washing many dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen; you may also encounter the joy of being promoted from a cleaner to a floor attendant due to your outstanding work performance; you may also encounter the hardship of layoffs caused by the economic downturn in the restaurant All of this will not be realized in the book, nor in the teacher's narration, but you can hear it, see it, and experience it. With such an experience, people will not be overwhelmed by a lot of unexpected problems when they enter the society in the future. Secondly, work can also enhance the understanding of life.
如今的中学生大多是“食饱无忧米”，样样不缺，想要什么，想得到什么，只要说一声，就可以“得来全不费功夫”！试想一下，当你辛辛苦苦工作了一天，最后得到了十块二十块的日薪，你心里滋味如何？打工能使中学生认识到工作的艰辛，体会挣钱的感受，对养成节约的习惯和刻苦耐劳的精神都大有帮助。当然，打工有其利的一面，也有其弊的一面。其实，中学生独自到外打工确实让人担心。
Today's middle school students are mostly "full and worry free rice". They need everything, what they want and what they want. Just say it, they can "get it without any effort"! Just think about it. When you work hard for a day and finally get a daily salary of $10.20, what's your feeling? Working can make middle school students realize the hardships of work, experience the feeling of making money, and help them form the habit of saving and the spirit of hard work. Of course, working has its advantages and disadvantages. In fact, it's really worrying that middle school students go out to work alone.
如果他们在打工的时候结识了一些不法分子，在这些不法分子的诱惑下，盲目地听从他们的指挥，去做一些扰乱社会的事，其后果就不堪设想！但无论如何，在不影响学习的情况下，打工对中学生来说绝对是利大于弊的。打工是一种经历，打工是一项磨炼，打工是一种很好的观察社会的方式。这既可以锻炼自己，又可以让自己尝到花自己挣回来的钱的乐趣，何乐而不为？打工不是做工，仍是以学习为主，只是利用假期偶尔为之，何尝不能呢？
If they get to know some lawbreakers when they are working, and they blindly follow their instructions and do something disturbing the society under the temptation of these lawbreakers, the consequences will be unimaginable! But in any case, in the case of not affecting learning, working for middle school students is definitely more beneficial than harmful. Work is an experience, work is a discipline, work is a good way to observe society. This can not only exercise themselves, but also let them taste the fun of spending the money they earn back. Why not? Working is not a job, but a study oriented one. It's just a vacation. Why not?
