孤獨是否是壞事？Is the Loneliness a Bad Thing?

According to some social surveys, we can see that theonly child in Most Chinese families feels lonely in some ways. Why the onlychild feels lonely? Is loneliness a terrible thing?

從一些社會調查中我們可以看到，大部分中國家庭的獨生子女在某些方面感到孤獨。爲什麼獨生子女會感到孤獨呢？孤獨是如此可怕的事嗎？

Compared with the western, the Chinese children areshyer in communication, which is a reason to make them lack of friends andcompanies. On the other hand, as the only child in the family, they can’t enjoythe happiness from brother or sister. When they meet some troubles, they haveto deal with them by themselves; they can’t get help from their family efore, compared with the children who have brother or sister, the onlychild would feel lonelier.

與西方國家相比，中國孩子在溝通方面更羞澀，這也是致使他們缺乏朋友和同伴的一個原因。另一方面，作爲家裏唯一的孩子，他們不能夠享受有兄弟姐妹的快樂。當遇到困難的時候，他們必須自己解決；他們不能從家庭成員那裏得到幫助。因此，和那些有兄弟姐妹的孩子相比，獨生子女會感覺更孤獨。

However, is loneliness completely a bad thing?Obviously, the answer is no, because loneliness also can bring something goodfor them. It is reported that the only child possesses more advantages thanother children in personality and in thought.

然而，孤獨是否完全是件壞事呢？顯然，答案是否定的。因爲孤獨夜能夠給他們帶來一些好處。據報道，獨生子女在性格和想法上比其他孩子更有優勢。

Firstly, the only child is more independent in ing of help from others, they are used to dealing with all kinds of thingsby themselves as much as possible. Thus, the only child would be moreindependent in life and they can endure more setbacks and pressure. Inaddition, when they leave their parents and start to live alone, they would meetfewer difficulties. But the precondition is that they don’t rely on theirparents deeply.

首先，獨生子女在性格方面更獨立。因爲缺少別人的幫助，他們習慣儘可能地自己解決各種事情。這樣一來，獨生子女在生活上會更獨立，而且他們更能承受挫折和壓力。另外，當他們離開父母獨自生活的時候，他們會遇到更少的困難。但是，前提條件是他們沒有深深依賴於父母。

Moreover, theonly child has wider horizon than others. As the only kid in the family, they can enjoy better conditions in lifeor in education, and they have more opportunities to get in touch with freshthings and accept higher education. In this premise, loneliness gives them moretime and space to think after study. As the saying goes, genius is the productof the loneliness. Einstein is a good example. Therefore, on the one hand, theonly child feels lonely. But at the same time, one can enjoy loneliness whenthinking. Loneliness brings more chances to think of meaning about life andfuture.

此外，獨生子女比其他孩子見識更廣。因爲他們是家裏唯一的小孩，他們在生活或教育上享有更好的條件，而且他們有更多的機會去接觸新鮮事物以及接受更高等的教育。在這一前提下，孤獨能夠使他們課後有更多的時間和空間去思考。常言道，天才是寂寞的產物。愛因斯坦就是一個很好的例子。因此，一方面獨生子女會感到孤獨，但同時思考的時候也能享受孤獨。孤獨帶來給多的機會去思考生活的意義和未來。

In a word, the only child feels lonely but also canget some benefits. Learning to enjoy loneliness, one would be easier to tastethe real life.

總之，獨生子女會感覺孤獨，但是也能夠得到一些好處。一個人學會享受孤獨也會更容易體會到真正的生活。
