Most people wish to choose decent and relaxing jobs, so that’s why being a cleaner is often rejected and despised. However, I’d like to show my respect to the cleaners for making the environment so clean and so beautiful.
I still well remember a day of a strong typhoon and a driving rain. Everyone stayed at home, even when there was something urgent to do. With too much garbage to get rid of, mom asked me to take out the trash.
As I had expected, not a soul could I see in the street. But suddenly around the corner, I saw a woman wearing a thick raincoat and long boots. She was braving the pouring rain next to a trash bin. Feeling surprised, I went up and asked, “Don’t you need to rest in such weather?” She replied with a smile, “Everyone can rest, but not the cleaners. If we take a break who will keep the streets clean of fallen leaves and trees?”
Hearing this, I fell into deep thought. Without the cleaners, the trash would pile up, the stench would cover and control the world and diseases would spread like crazy. I have come to a conclusion: the famous people are outstanding, but we can’t ignore such common people as cleaners also make great contributions to our country.
在大多数人拒绝和鄙视成为一名环卫工的时候,我想向环卫工表示我的敬意,是他们让环境变得干净和美丽。我记得一个狂风暴雨的日子。我去街上倒垃圾,街上看不到一个人,突然在拐角处,我看到一个穿着厚厚雨衣和长靴的女人,冒着倾盆大雨在垃圾桶旁边收拾。我过去问道:“这天气你不休息吗?”她微笑着回答说,“每个人都可以休息,但我们不行。如果我们休息,谁来清理街道上垃圾?”听到这个,我陷入了深思:没有环卫工的话,垃圾就会堆积如山,恶臭和疾病会围绕着世界。名人固然优秀,但我们不能忽视像环卫工这样的普通人,也为我们的国家做出了很大的贡献。
