Background Knowledge

When a man is in power,people clamor to please him one after another.When he’s down,people move away from him and draw the line.This is a phenomenon of fickleness of the world.We must criticize it resolutely.

We should treat others consistently.Especially when our friends are in trouble,we should give them more care.In this way,our society will be warmer.

一個(gè)人得勢(shì)時(shí)，人們爭(zhēng)相攀附并討好他；在他失意時(shí)，人們卻遠(yuǎn)離他并與其劃清界限。這是一種世態(tài)炎涼的現(xiàn)象，必須對(duì)其進(jìn)行堅(jiān)決的批判。

我們對(duì)待他人要始終如一，尤其是在朋友遇到困難時(shí)，我們應(yīng)給予更多的關(guān)懷，這樣我們的社會(huì)才會(huì)更溫暖、更和諧。
