文明只差一步

敢问当今世人，你们做到了文明吗？答案是否定的。现在人们，已经把“文明”这个中华民族传统美德丢到九霄云外。

Dare to ask the world today, have you achieved civilization? The answer is No. Now people have left civilization, the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, out of the sky.

《文明——只差一步》这幅漫画画的小女孩娜娜和同学小晨正准备回家的时候，突然发现垃圾堆旁的垃圾一大堆，娜娜和小晨把垃圾打扫干净后，小晨还在一张纸上写着“文明——只差一步”这六个字。

The little girl Nana and her classmate Xiaochen are about to go home when they suddenly find a lot of garbage beside the garbage heap. After Nana and Xiaochen clean the garbage, Xiaochen also wrote "civilization - one step short" on a piece of paper.

这幅漫画揭示的是人们的陋习。文中两个主人公是可敬的。相比那些丢垃圾的人是那么的渺小，难道那些人不应该觉得可耻吗？文明，只差一步。如果那些丢垃圾的人能够高抬贵脚，再走一步把那些垃圾丢到垃圾桶去，那么他们就不会被谴责和唾骂了！就不会使垃圾堆旁边的垃圾堆积如山，破坏环境！

This cartoon reveals people's bad habits. The two protagonists are honorable. It's so small compared with those who throw rubbish. Shouldn't those people feel shameful? Civilization is only one step away. If those who throw rubbish can raise their feet and take another step to throw them into the garbage can, then they will not be condemned and reviled! It will not make the garbage beside the garbage pile pile up like a mountain, damaging the environment!

在学校中，我们见到类似这样的事也真不少。垃圾堆旁边，许多同学不愿意多走一步，就把垃圾扔到垃圾桶旁边，使垃圾桶旁臭气熏天。

In school, we see a lot of things like this. Next to the garbage heap, many students do not want to go one step further, so they throw the garbage next to the garbage can to make it stink.

让我们行动起来，文明——只差一步！假如你能多走一步，使垃圾桶旁边不再有垃圾。那么文明这个皇冠将会戴在你的头上，我们的环境才会多一份清洁，少一份污染！

Let's move, civilization - just one step away! If you can take one more step, there will be no more rubbish next to the trash can. Then the crown of civilization will be put on your head, and our environment will be more clean and less polluted!
