Question

【題目】 When a rather dirty, poorly-dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can't be no question that the world is full of terrible sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is coming from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly, most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evils. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.

It is hard to come to a conclusion; there arc various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.

Answer 1

【答案】In old times people thought it was morally right to help the less fortunate, but today many choose not to give beggars money. They think some beggars make a good living from begging or they worry the money given will be misused. Besides, it's the government's duty to deal with the problem. However, different cases call for different solutions. And we should recognize the giver's goodness.

文章講述的是當(dāng)一個乞丐伸手向我們要錢時我們應(yīng)該怎么辦? 這很難得出結(jié)論，有各種各樣的情況，我們必須用不同的方法來處理。過去人們認(rèn)為幫助不幸的人在道義上是正確的，但今天許多人選擇不給乞丐錢。他們認(rèn)為一些乞丐通過乞討過上了好日子，或者他們擔(dān)心這些錢會被濫用。此外，處理這個問題是政府的責(zé)任。然而，不同的情況需要不同的解決方案。我們應(yīng)該認(rèn)識到給予者的善良。
