1. If children discover the beauty of nature while they are young, they will respect nature and try to preserve it when they are older. Parents play an essential role in helping their children make this discovery. Although young children are not able to understand the complex relationship of man to his environment, they can be educated in this aspect and learn how to respect nature and gain a simplified understanding of the importance of a healthy ecological environment. Helping children to gain such an appreciation and understanding can be an exciting adventure which is available to all that are willing to explore and use their senses of touch, taste, smell, sight, and heating.

1、如果孩子們?cè)谀暧椎臅r(shí)候發(fā)現(xiàn)了自然的美，他們長(zhǎng)大了就會(huì)尊重自然，保護(hù)自然。父母親在幫助孩子們發(fā)現(xiàn)這種美的過程中起著關(guān)鍵作用。盡管孩子們不能理解人類和環(huán)境之間的復(fù)雜關(guān)系，但他們可以得到這方面的教育，學(xué)會(huì)尊重自然，簡(jiǎn)單地理解擁有健康生態(tài)環(huán)境的重要性。幫助孩子們獲得欣賞自然之美、理解環(huán)境之重要性的能力可能是一種令人激動(dòng)的經(jīng)歷，所有愿意開發(fā)和利用觸覺、味覺、嗅覺、視覺和聽覺的人都可享受這種經(jīng)歷。

2. Wonderful phenomena of nature are all around us. For example, have you ever awakened early to watch the sun rise? Have you ever stopped to observe a setting sun, a star-filled sky, or an October moon? Have you ever gone out after a rainfall and delighted in the scent of the fresh air? Have you ever taken time to listen to the song of the birds, the trees' rustling in the wind or the music of the crickets? Have you ever held a seashell to your ear and heard the roar of the ocean? Have you ever tasted fresh berries, melon or spring water? Have you ever shared the above experience with your children?

2、我們身邊到處都是奇妙的自然現(xiàn)象。比如，你曾清早起床到外面觀看過日出嗎?你曾停下來觀察過夕陽(yáng)西下、繁星滿天或十月夜空的明月嗎?你曾雨后外出，享受過清新空氣的滋味嗎?你曾花時(shí)間側(cè)耳傾聽過鳥兒婉轉(zhuǎn)、風(fēng)吹林梢或蟋蟀鳴唱嗎?你曾把貝殼貼在耳邊，傾聽過海洋的呼嘯嗎?你曾嘗過新鮮莓子、瓜果或泉水的滋味嗎?你曾和你的孩子們分享過上述的經(jīng)歷嗎?

3. To help children gain an understanding of the world around them and the importance of ecology, parents can use interesting objects from their children's everyday lives. For example, most children are familiar with rocks. They have seen them, touched them, and played with them. However, they will not discover the beauty and uses of rocks unless you help them. Collect some rocks and point out that some rocks are minerals, others may be used for decorations, like marbles used in building houses, and still other rocks are used to build roads. Visiting mountains if possible can help them gain a better understanding of rocks.

3、父母可用孩子們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪幸姷降牧钊烁信d趣的具體東西來幫助他們理解周圍的世界，理解生態(tài)的重要性。例如，大多數(shù)孩子都熟悉石子，他們親眼見過石頭，摸過石頭，也玩過石頭。然而，如果不幫助他們，他們不會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)石頭的美麗和用途。收集一些石頭，告訴他們有些是礦石\有些叫以作裝飾用，像用來建造房子的大理石—樣，還有一些可以用來鋪路。如果可能，就去看看山，這樣能幫助他們更好地認(rèn)識(shí)巖石。

4. Most young children love to play in dirt. You can help your children to gain the concept that soil is not just dirt but something necessary for life. Most plant life grows in some form of soil. Take your children for a visit to gardens and farms where food is grown. Perhaps your children can have their own plants or gardens. You can explain to them that plants are necessary not only for food but also for controlling floods. During a time of heavy rain or snow, plants help to absorb the moisture.

4、大多數(shù)孩子都喜歡玩泥土。你可以幫助你的孩子獲得這樣一個(gè)概念：土壤不僅僅是“泥土”，而且是生活必需的東西。大多數(shù)植物都在某種土壤中生長(zhǎng)。帶孩子們?nèi)⒂^花園和種食物的農(nóng)場(chǎng)。也許，你的孩子有自己的植物或花園。你可以向孩子們解釋，植物不僅是制作食品所必要的，而且對(duì)于控制洪水也是不可少的。下大雨或大雪時(shí)，植物有助于吸收水分。

5. It's difficult for young children to gain an appreciation of rain because rain to young children means that they can't go out to play. However, you can try to help your children realize that rain is vital to life. Without rain, plants and animals would die of thirst. Your children know what it feels like to be thirsty. If you have plants and allow your children to help you water them, this will help them to start recognizing the importance of water to life.

5、要小孩子欣賞下雨是很困難的，因?yàn)橄掠陮?duì)他們來說意味著不能出去玩。但你可盡力幫助孩子們認(rèn)識(shí)到雨水對(duì)維持生命是不可缺少的。沒有雨水，動(dòng)植物就會(huì)干渴而死。孩子們知道干渴是一種什么感受。如果你有一些植物，那么讓孩子們幫你去澆灌，這有助于他們開始認(rèn)識(shí)到水對(duì)生命的重要性。

6. You can also help your children gain some understanding of the importance of clean oceans. Even young children realize that an ocean filled with garbage is not good for sea life. Many fish can die or become contaminated from the trash that is thrown into the ocean. People, who unknowingly eat fish contaminated by pollutants in the water, can become seriously ill.

6、你還可以幫助孩子們理解海洋清潔的重要性。連小孩子都知道，充滿垃圾的海洋對(duì)海洋生物是有害無益的。很多魚會(huì)因扔進(jìn)海洋的垃圾而死去或受污染。不知道實(shí)情的人吃了被水中污染物污染的魚可能患重病。

7. Many children, through the examples, can begin to become more aware of man's relationship to his environment. However, even more importantly, you can help them by example to learn to respect their environment. Young children learn not only from first hand experiences but by imitation. If you show your children by your actions that you respect the environment in which you live, this will start them on this path.

7、通過這些實(shí)例，許多孩子可能開始對(duì)人類和環(huán)境的關(guān)系有更多的認(rèn)識(shí)。然而更重要的是，你可以以身作則，幫助他們學(xué)會(huì)尊重環(huán)境。小孩子不僅通過親身經(jīng)歷，而且通過模仿來學(xué)習(xí)。如果你用行動(dòng)向孩子們表明你尊重你所生活的環(huán)境，這會(huì)引導(dǎo)他們走上愛護(hù)環(huán)境的正道。

8. Do you avoid putting pollutants in the air by never burning your leaves? Have you ever stopped smoking? Do you respect plant life? Do you stop anyone from carving in the bark of trees? Do you avoid walking on fresh grass? Do you conserve water and energy?

8、你從不燒樹葉以免污染空氣嗎?你曾戒過煙嗎?你尊重植物的生命嗎?你阻止人們?cè)跇淦ど蟻y刻嗎?你避免從新鮮的草地上走過嗎?你節(jié)約用水用能嗎?

9. By setting a good example for your children, you are not only giving them a good model to imitate, you are also helping them to increase their chances for survival. It is not too soon to help your children to appreciate, understand, and respect the environment in which they live.

9、通過為孩子們樹立好榜樣，你不僅給他們提供仿效的好典范，而且?guī)椭麄冊(cè)黾由娴臋C(jī)會(huì)。幫助孩子們欣賞、理解并尊敬他們所生活的環(huán)境越早越好。
