The Age of Majority
成年
In most countries,turning 18 marks the start of adulthood.But
what does reaching this milestone,the age of majority,really mean?
Will you be completely in charge of your own life and able to
express yourself in new and exciting ways?What new responsibilities will
this freedom bring?Here,three young people tell us what turning
18 means,or meant,to them.
在大多数国家,进入18岁便意味着成年。但是到达成年这一

里程碑到底意味着什么呢?你将完全主宰自己的生活吗?你能够
用新奇的、激动人心的方式来表达自己吗?获得这种自由又会带来
什么新的责任呢?接下来,有三位年轻人会为我们讲述年满18岁
对他们意味着什么,或是曾经意味了什么。
Bethany 16,Victoria,Australia
I can't wait to be 18.One reason is that although I've been
working ever since leaving school,I won't be voting in the next
general election.Why?Because I still won't be old enough.Surely,
if you're old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes,you should be

also been taking driving lessons,and in fact I will be taking my
driving test on the very day I turn 18.My mum worries about me
being behind the wheel.As an ambulance driver,she's seen a lot of
car accidents involving teenagers and thinks the legal age for
getting a driving licence should be 21.But I think I'm already
mature enough to understand that driving a car also means taking
responsibility for my life and the lives of other people.

Lin Ning 19,Shanghai,China
I celebrated my 18th birthday just before I went to university.
I expected to feel instantly different,as if I had closed the door on
my childhood and stepped into a whole new adult world.But it
wasn't like that.When I woke up the next day,there were still rules

to obey and lessons to attend.In fact,the change has been more
subtle and gradual than I imagined.Instead of being the selfish teenager I
used to be,I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to
develop a stronger sense of social responsibility.To give an example,I
will be signing an organ donation agreement this time tomorrow.
This was a big decision for me,so I asked my parents for their
approval first.Turning 18 also changed the way that society viewed
me.I was really surprised when a bank contacted me with a credit
card offer.Of course,I would like to have more freedom with money
and no doubt I will be getting a credit card at some point,but I
currently don't have a steady income,so getting a credit card might

林宁19岁,中国上海
上大学前我刚满18岁。我曾经期待马上会有不一样的感觉,
就好像自己关闭了童年的大门,踏进一个全新的成人世界。但是事
实并非如此。第二天我醒来时,仍然有需要遵守的规则,需要参加
的课程。事实上,这种变化比我想象的更微小,更平缓。相比自己
之前那个自私的青少年角色,我已经开始更多地关注别人,并且去
培养更强烈的社会责任感。比如说,明天这个时候我将会签署器官

Morgan 20,Florida,the US
People say that 18 marks a new chapter in our lives,and that
we should become more independent.I used to believe this,but the
reality for me has been very different.I assumed I'd already have a
well-paid job and that I'd be moving into a rented apartment as
soon as I turned 18,but how wrong I was!My librarian's salary
means that I'll be living at home with my parents for a while
longer.Because I contribute to the household bills and my commute

easier.I know I could get a bank loan to pay the deposit on my very own
apartment,but I don't feel ready to make that kind of commitment,and
I do like my mom's cooking.I guess some responsibilities are more
about attitude than age.
摩根20岁,美国佛罗里达州
人们都说18岁意味着翻开人生的新篇章,我们应该变得更独

天开呀!作为一个图书管理员,我的工资只够我继续长时间和父母
住在一起。因为我要分担家庭账单,而且我的通勤费用很高,所以
我发现攒钱非常困难。不过下个月我会开始一份新工作,也许情况
能有所好转。我知道我可以通过贷款来支付购买自己公寓的订金,
但我还无法向银行做出这种重大的承诺,而且我真的很喜欢吃妈妈
做的饭。我觉得要想负起一些责任,更多的是关乎态度,而不是
年龄。

☆易错词句积累
Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a
book,called True Stories from Nature,about the primeval forest.It
was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal.
Here is a copy of the drawing.
我六岁的时候在一本书里看到了一张非常震撼的图。书的名
字是《大自然的真实故事》,讲的是原始森林。那张图片上有一条蟒
蛇正在吞掉一只动物。这是那张图的摹本:
In the book it said:"Boa constrictors swallow their prey

whole,without chewing it.After that they are not able to move,and
they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion."
书上写着:“蟒蛇把猎物整个吞下,完全不咀嚼。吞下以后,蟒
蛇就动不了了。消化食物需要六个月,因此蟒蛇就睡六个月。”
I pondered deeply,then,over the adventures of the jungle.And
after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my
first drawing.My Drawing Number One.It looked like this:
那个时候,我深深地思考着原始丛林里的奇遇。我用一支彩色
铅笔,成功画出了我的第一幅画作。我的“一号画作”是这样的:

I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups,and asked them
whether the drawing frightened them.
我把我的杰作给大人看,问他们有没有被我的画吓到。
But they answered:"Frighten?Why should anyone be frightened

但他们回答说:“吓到?为什么有人会被一顶帽子吓到?”

我画的不是帽子,而是一条正在消化一头大象的蟒蛇。但由于

画作”是这样的:
The grown-ups'response,this time,was to advise me to lay

outside,and devote myself instead to geography,history,arithmetic

and grammar.That is why,at the age of six,I gave up what might
have been a magnificent career as a painter.I had been disheartened by
the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number
Two.Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves,and it
is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things
to them.
这次,大人的回答是建议我把不管是蟒蛇内部还是外部的画都
放到一边,然后转而专心学习地理、历史、算术和语法。所以,六岁
的时候,我放弃了可能会十分辉煌的画家职业道路。“一号画作”和
“二号画作”的失败使我心灰意冷。大人从来没法自己弄懂任何事
情,小孩永远要给他们解释是很辛苦的。

So then I chose another profession,and learned to pilot
airplanes.I have flown a little over all parts of the world;and it is
true that geography has been very useful to me.At a glance I can
distinguish China from Arizona.If one gets lost in the night,such
knowledge is valuable.
所以后来我选了另一个职业,我开始学习驾驶飞机。世界上每
个地方我差不多都去过;地理对我确实很有用。我一眼就能分辨中
国和亚利桑那州。如果晚上迷路了,这样的知识很有价值。
