Vote for Poverty 为贫穷投票

As all we know, universities offerscholarship to the outstanding academic students. And there is another policyfor the students who are outstanding but with limited pockets. However, thispolicy has caused great controversy, because if someone wants to win thescholarship they must have to make a speech, which requires the currentsituation and family incoming of poverty. As to this policy, different peoplehave different views.

就像我们所知道的，大学提供奖学金给学业出众的学生。还有另一个政策就是给那些学业出众但是家庭贫困的学生提供奖学金。然而，这个政策引发了巨大的争议，因为那些想获得这个奖学金的学生必须得做个演讲，要求他们说出贫困的现状，还有他们家庭收入的窘境。对于这个政策，不同的人有不同的看法。

Some people think this policy hurt the poorstudents’ feeling every badly. The poverty-stricken students who want the moneysupported from university are required to make speech in front of the wholeclass. They have to list the evidence that could prove their poor situation. Someof them even speak out the tragic experience in their childhood to convincetheir classmate to vote for them. People who against this poor-mouth speechpolicy hold the opinion that it makes a double hurt to the poor students,poverty already make them feel bad and they have to expose their poverty toeveryone in order to get rid of poverty, which makes their life more sadly.

有些人认为这个政策深深地伤害了贫困生的感情。学校要求那些想得到奖学金支助的贫困生必须得在全班面前做个演讲。他们必须得列出能够证明他们贫困的证据，有些人还得说他们小时候的悲惨经历来说服同学们给他投票。反对这个哭穷政策的人认为这给贫困生造成了双重的伤害，贫困已经让他们感觉够糟的了，现在他们还得为了摆脱贫困而暴露他们贫困的窘境，这让他们更加悲催了。

However, some people think that this kindof speech policy would help the poor students not only in the poverty but alsocould gain the faith to fight for their poverty. People cannot choose thefamily they were born into, but they can always choose their future, so if theywant to get out of the current situation they have to face it first, and be notafraid to fight for it. No pain no gain.

然而，有些人认为这样的演说政策不仅能够帮助贫困生摆脱困境，也能给他们增加为摆脱贫困而奋斗的信念。人们不同选择他们的出身，但是他们能够选择他们的未来，所以如果他们想走出现在的境遇，他们必须得先面对它，不能因害怕而不去奋斗。没有付出就没有收获。

Weighting up there two arguments intoaccount, I am for the former one, the scholarship seats are limited, and the numberof poor students are large. Most of them are ended up with nothing. Hence, thepolicy should be changed.

权衡以上两个争论，我支持前者，奖学金的名额有限，但是贫困生的数量庞大。许多学生都是到最后什么也没得到的。因此，这个政策应该改变一下。
