女孩為夢想而努力

Girls at a training course offered by the "Care for Girls" program in Qingjian county, Shaanxi province, talked about their pursuit of dreams despite living in unfavorable conditions.

在陜西省清澗縣一群女孩正參加“關(guān)愛女孩”項(xiàng)目提供的訓(xùn)練課程，她們談到了自己在艱苦條件下仍堅(jiān)持夢想的經(jīng)歷。

Initiated by the National Health and Family Planning commission in 2013, the program helps girls in underdeveloped regions to build their self-esteem and self-confidence.

在2013年國家衛(wèi)生和計(jì)劃生育委員會(huì)最先發(fā)起了這個(gè)計(jì)劃項(xiàng)目，這個(gè)計(jì)劃幫助了許多貧困地區(qū)的女孩們建立自尊和自信。

Xi Peiyao, 12, who attended the training course, said her dream is to be a teacher.

席佩瑤(音譯)，12歲，參與這個(gè)訓(xùn)練課程，她說到自己的夢想是做名老師。

"I want to be a teacher teaching Chinese because I like Chinese and writing," Xi said. "By teaching I can not only share knowledge with my students, but also keep learning new things from new versions of textbooks."

“我想做一名教中文的老師，因?yàn)槲液芟矚g中文和寫作”，她說，“通過教學(xué)我不僅能夠和我的學(xué)生們分享知識(shí)，而且還能從新版教科書中學(xué)到新的知識(shí)。”

She is living with her mother in a room that has no bathroom and costs 300 yuan ($48) a month to rent. Merit certificates she received from school are displayed on the wall. Yan Lingling, Xi's mother, said she is proud of her daughter.

她跟母親一起住在一個(gè)沒有浴室的房間里，每月房租費(fèi)330元。她家墻上掛著她從學(xué)校獲得的獎(jiǎng)狀。她的母親嚴(yán)玲玲談到自己為女兒感到驕傲。

According to the family planning policy, couples in which both the husband and wife have rural residential permits can have another child if their first is a daughter. Yan said she isn't planning on adding to the family because she wants to give her daughter the best she has.

根據(jù)計(jì)劃生育政策，一對(duì)擁有農(nóng)村戶口的夫婦如果第一胎是個(gè)女孩的可以多生育一個(gè)孩子。嚴(yán)母說自己不打算在多生育個(gè)孩子，因?yàn)樗氚炎约鹤詈玫牧艚o女兒。

"My husband is away most of the time, working in construction sites and making no more than 30,000 yuan ($4,840) a year. I work as an hourly worker sometimes. The rent of our apartment is expensive. One more child means one more burden," Yan said.

“我的丈夫大部分時(shí)間都不在家，他在建筑工地工作，每年的收入有3萬元左右，而我有時(shí)候做點(diǎn)零時(shí)工。公寓的房租太貴了，多一個(gè)孩子意味著更多的負(fù)擔(dān)。”她這樣說到。

"My husband's parents, who live in the village, have been pressuring us to have a son to pass on his family name. But my daughter is also our blood."

“我丈夫的父母住在鄉(xiāng)下，他們也催促我們趕緊要個(gè)兒子傳宗接代，但是女兒也一樣是我們的骨血。”

Speaking about how she plans to achieve her dream of becoming a teacher, Xi said: "I will not give up on my dream easily, though I know it may be difficult. When something becomes difficult, it only makes me want to try harder."

當(dāng)談及她如何實(shí)現(xiàn)自己成為教師的計(jì)劃時(shí)，小席說：“我不會(huì)輕易放棄自己的夢想的，盡管我知道要實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)很困難。當(dāng)事情變的困難，那只會(huì)讓我更想努力試試。”
