5、一個(gè)人已經(jīng)工作并且交稅了，那他應(yīng)該對(duì)政府在支配稅收方面有一定的話語權(quán)。我也一直在學(xué)習(xí)駕駛，并且我會(huì)在18歲當(dāng)天就去考駕照。媽媽十分擔(dān)心我開車，作為一名救護(hù)車司機(jī)，她目睹過太多涉及青少年的車禍，她認(rèn)為考駕照的法定年齡應(yīng)該推遲到21歲。但是我覺得自己已經(jīng)足夠成熟，知道開車也意味著要對(duì)自己和他人的生命負(fù)責(zé)。LiNing19,Shanghai,China林寧19歲，中國上海Icelebratedmy18thbirthdayjustbeforeIwenttouniversity.Iexpectedtofeelinstantlydifferent,asifIhadclosedthedooronmychil

8、morefreedomwithmoneyanddoubtIwillbegettingacreditcardatsomepoint,butIcurrentlydonthaveasteadyincome,sogettingacreditcardmighttemptmetospendmoremoneythanIhave!上大學(xué)前我剛滿18歲。我曾經(jīng)期待馬上會(huì)有不一樣的感覺，就好像自己關(guān)閉了童年的大門，踏進(jìn)一個(gè)全新的成人世界。但是事實(shí)并非如此。第二天我醒來時(shí)，仍然有需要遵守的規(guī)則，需要參加的課程。事實(shí)上，這種變化比我想象的更微小，更平緩。相比自己之前那個(gè)自私的青少年角色，我已經(jīng)開始更多地關(guān)注別人，并且

9、去培養(yǎng)更強(qiáng)烈的社會(huì)責(zé)任感。比如說，明天這個(gè)時(shí)候我將會(huì)簽署器官捐贈(zèng)意向書。這對(duì)我來說是一個(gè)重大的決定，做出這個(gè)決定我并未征父母的意見（雖然我知道他們會(huì)同意的）。滿18歲后，社會(huì)對(duì)待我的方式也改變了。有家銀行給我打電話讓我辦理信用卡的時(shí)候，我非常驚訝。雖然我想在花錢方面更為自由，而且毫無疑問我將在未來的某個(gè)時(shí)間獲得一張信用卡，但是我現(xiàn)在還沒有穩(wěn)定的收入，所以現(xiàn)在辦理的話可能會(huì)誘惑我透支!Morgan20,Florida,theUS摩根20歲，美國佛羅里達(dá)州Peoplesaythat18marksanewchapterinourlives,andthatweshouldbecomemoreindep

12、我們應(yīng)該變得更獨(dú)立。我曾經(jīng)也這樣認(rèn)為，但是事實(shí)并非如此。我以為我到18歲就能有一份薪水不錯(cuò)的工作，能搬進(jìn)自己租的公寓，我是多么異想天開呀!作為一個(gè)圖書管理員，我的工資只夠我繼續(xù)長時(shí)間和父母住在一起。因?yàn)槲乙謸?dān)家庭賬單，而且我的通勤費(fèi)用很高，所以我發(fā)現(xiàn)攢錢非常困難。下個(gè)月我會(huì)開始一份新工作，也許情況能有所好轉(zhuǎn)。我知道我可以通過貸款來支付購買自己公寓的訂金，但我還無法向銀行做出這種重大的承諾，而且我真的很喜歡吃媽媽做的飯。我覺得要想負(fù)起一些責(zé)任，更多的是關(guān)乎態(tài)度，而不是年齡。DevelopingideasTheLittlePrince小王子OncewhenIwassixyearsoldIsawa

13、magnificentpictureinabook,calledTrueStoriesfromNature,abouttheprimevalforest.Itwasapictureofaboaconstrictorintheactofswallowingananimal.Hereisacopyofthedrawing.我六歲的時(shí)候在一本書里看到了一張非常震撼的圖。書的名字是大自然的真實(shí)故事，講的是原始森林那張圖片上有一條蟒蛇正在吞掉一只動(dòng)物。這是那張圖的摹本:Inthebookitsaid:“Boaconstrictorsswallowtheirpreywhole,withoutchewing

14、it.Afterthattheyarenotabletomove,andtheysleepthroughthesixmonthsthattheyneedfordigestion.”書上寫著:“蟒蛇把獵物整個(gè)吞下，完全不咀嚼。吞下以后，蟒蛇就動(dòng)不了了。消化食物需要六個(gè)月，因此蟒蛇就睡六個(gè)月Ipondereddeeply,then,overtheadventuresofthejungle.AndaftersomeworkwithacoloredpencilIsucceededinmakingmyfirstdrawing.MyDrawingNumberOne.Itlookedlikethis:Ish

15、owedmymasterpiecetothegrown-ups,andaskedthemwhetherthedrawingwasfrightening.那個(gè)時(shí)候，我深深地思考著原始叢林里的奇遇我用一支彩色鉛筆，成功畫出了我的第一幅畫作。我的“一號(hào)畫作”是這樣的:我把我的杰作給大人看，問他們有沒有被我的畫嚇到。Buttheyanswered:“Frightening?Whyshouldanyonebefrightenedbyahat?”但他們回答:“嚇到?為什么有人會(huì)被一頂帽子嚇到?”Mydrawingwasnotapictureofahat.Itwasapictureofaboaconstri

17、要你跟他們解釋清楚他們才能懂。我的“二號(hào)畫作”是這樣的:Thegrown-upsresponse,thistime,wastoadvisemetolayasidemydrawingsofboaconstrictors,whetherfromtheinsideortheoutside,anddevotemyselfinsteadtogeography,history,arithmeticandgrammar.Thatiswhy,attheageofsix,Igaveupwhatmighthavebeenamagnificentcareerasapainter.Ihadbeendishearten

18、edbythefailureofmyDrawingNumberOneandmyDrawingNumberTwo.Grown-upsneverunderstandanythingbythemselves,anditistiresomeforchildrentobealwaysandforeverexplainingthingstothem.這次，大人的回答是建議我把不管是蟒蛇內(nèi)部還是外部的畫都放到一邊，然后轉(zhuǎn)而專心學(xué)習(xí)地理、歷史、算術(shù)和語法。所以，六歲的時(shí)候，我放棄了可能會(huì)十分輝煌的畫家職業(yè)道路?！耙惶?hào)畫作”和二號(hào)畫作”的失敗使我心灰意冷。大人從來沒法自己弄懂任何事情，小孩永遠(yuǎn)要給他們解釋是很辛

20、果晚上迷路了，這樣的知識(shí)很有價(jià)值。Inthecourseofthislife,Ihavehadagreatmanyencounterswithagreatmanypeoplewhohavebeenconcernedwithmattersofconsequence.Ihavelivedagreatdealamonggrown-ups.Ihaveseenthemintimately,closeathand.Andthathasntmuchimprovedmyopinionofthem.在生命歷程中，我多次遇到過很多關(guān)心大事的人。我在大人之中生活了很久。我密切地觀察過他們，近在咫尺地仔細(xì)觀察過。然而

21、我對(duì)他們的看法還是沒有改觀。WheneverImetoneofthemwhoseemedtomeatallclear-sighted,ItriedtheexperimentofshowinghimmyDrawingNumberOne,whichIhavealwayskept.Iwouldtrytofindout,ifthiswasapersonoftrueunderstanding.But,whoeveritwas,wouldalwayssay:每一次我遇到一個(gè)看上去頭腦完全清楚的大人，我都會(huì)給他看我一直帶著的“一號(hào)畫作”，想看看這個(gè)人是不是能真正地理解。但是，不論這個(gè)人是誰，他（她）總是會(huì)說

22、:“Thatsahat.”“那是頂帽子。”TheIwouldnevertalktothatpersonaboutboaconstrictors,orprimevalforests,orstars.Iwouldbringmyselfdowntohislevel.Iwouldtalktohimaboutbridge,andgolf,andpoliticsandneckties.Andthegrown-upswouldbegreatlypleasedtohavemetsuchasensibleman.然后我就不再跟那個(gè)人聊任何有關(guān)蟒蛇、原始森林或是星星的事情了。我就會(huì)把自己降低到他的層次，跟他聊橋梁
