文明只差一步

一个云淡天高，风和日丽的下午，小红和小明在放学回家的马路旁，看见一个垃圾桶旁有许多垃圾。小红指了指垃圾桶对小明说：“看，这个垃圾桶真脏，扔垃圾的人真不讲文明。”“是啊，太没公德心了！”小明说。小红说：“依我看，还是让我们来收拾一下吧！”

on a sunny afternoon with light clouds, xiao hong and xiao ming saw a lot of garbage beside a garbage can on the road home from school. xiaohong points to the garbage can and says to xiaoming, "look, this garbage can is really dirty. the people who throw garbage are really uncivilized." "yeah, it's so unethical!" xiao ming said. xiao hong said, "in my opinion, let's clean up!"

小红二话不说地把地上的垃圾捡起来放进垃圾桶里，转过头一看，小明在那来发呆，就对小明说：“你还愣着干什么，快来帮忙啊！”“你先捡，让我想一想办法。”小明挠着脑袋说。不一会儿，小明灵机一动。说：“有了。”小红问：“什么办法呀？”“不告诉你，待会儿你就知道了。”小明神气地说。

xiaohong picks up the rubbish on the ground and puts it in the trash can without saying a word. turning around, xiaoming is stunned and says to xiaoming, "what are you still doing？ come and help!" "you pick it up first, let me think of a way." xiaoming scratched his head and said. after a while, xiao ming had a brainstorm. "yes," he said xiaohong asked, "what's the way？" "i won't tell you. you'll know later." said xiao ming with air.

小红看见小明拿出一张纸，趴在地上不知道写着什么。那么神秘，也不知道他葫芦里买的是什么药。小红捡完了垃圾，转过头看见小明仍然在那里写。

xiaohong saw xiaoming take out a piece of paper, lying on the ground do not know what to write. so mysterious, i don't know what medicine he bought in the gourd. xiaohong picks up the garbage and turns to see xiaoming still writing there.

过了一会，只见小明把这张写上字的纸贴在了垃圾桶上，这时，小红才恍然大悟，原来小明写上：“文明只差一步。”“你看，我是不是小神童啊！”小明神气十足地对小红说。小红竖起大拇指对小明说：“你真棒，这是个好办法，你真聪明的。”小明听了，心里美滋滋的。

after a while, xiao ming pasted the paper with the words on it. at this time, xiao hong suddenly realized that xiao ming had written: "civilization is only one step away." "you see, am i a little prodigy？" xiaoming said to xiaohong with full air. xiaohong thumbs up and says to xiaoming, "you are so good. this is a good way. you are so smart." xiaoming is very happy after listening.

同学们，文明离我们只差一步，可是我们却距文明千步，只要我们迈出一小步，就等于走近了文明一千步。

students, civilization is only one step away from us, but we are a thousand steps away from civilization. as long as we take a small step, we are approaching a thousand steps towards civilization.
