Elder male cousin:
表哥：
Good faith! After receiving your letter, I was both happy and sad for you for many days. I looked at what you said in your letter, thought for a long time, and finally tried to find a reason to persuade you.
见信好！收到你的来信后，我既高兴，又为你难过了好几天。我看了看你在信中所说的话，想了很久，终于找到了说服你的理由。
You said that you have made progress in each subject this semester, and each subject is among the best in the class. This is the result of your hard work. I'm very happy. I will take you as an example, study hard and strive for common progress with you. Let's encourage!
你说这学期你在每门课上都取得了进步，而且每门课都是班上最好的。这是你努力学习的结果。我很高兴。我将以你为榜样，努力学习，与你共同进步。让我们相互共勉吧！
But what you say in your letter is more painful.
但你在信中说得更多的是让人心里难受的话。
You say that you are a poor child in a gully, and you don't even have a pair of decent shoes on your feet, let alone use fashionable clothes to package yourself. You always get the squint of other people's eyes in campus life. You think that's because of your humble origin, no good father, and useless parents?
你说你是个山沟里的穷孩子，脚上连一双像样的鞋子都没有，更不用说用时尚的衣服来包装自己了。在校园生活中，你总是会被别人鄙视。你认为那是因为你出身卑微，没有好父亲，父母一无是处？
You said that you are so envious of the affluent living conditions of those students in the city. They hold the latest mobile phone all day, and hang the MP4 around their neck. When they arrive at the dormitory, they open their laptop and play games. But you are shy in your own pocket. Even the simple cost of living every month is sometimes tight.
你说你很羡慕城里那些学生优越的生活条件。他们整天拿着最新的手机，把MP4挂在脖子上。当他们到达宿舍时，他们打开笔记本电脑玩游戏。但你自己囊中羞涩。甚至每个月简单的生活费用有时也很紧张。
You said why is the world so rich and poor? Why is life so bitter? Why should we drink mineral water? No, even mineral water can't afford it. It's only the life of drinking tap water?
你说为什么世界贫富差距如此悬殊？为什么生活如此痛苦？我们为什么要喝矿泉水？不，即使是矿泉水也买不起。只该是喝自来水的命？
Cousin, although I'm still in high school, I haven't experienced college life. However, I have borne your thoughts in silence. Later, I learned the true meaning of life from reading the books of famous people and great people, and from the textbooks of real life.
表哥，虽然我还在读高中，还没有经历过大学生活。然而，你的这些想法我也默默地承受过。后来我从读名人和伟人的书，以及从现实生活的课本中了解到了生活的真谛。
Yes, we can't choose our parents, our families or the birthplace of our destiny. However, we can compare with the city students to study and improve. When you think about your high school and college life, it's not because of your efforts. Middle school, you are admitted to the county key; University, you are admitted to the highest institution in the province. Isn't all this because poverty is your greatest motivation? In a sense, poverty is wealth. ?
是的，我们无法选择父母、家庭，无法选择命运的出生地。然而，我们可以与城市的学生比学习、比进步。但是，我们完全可以与城里学生比学习、比进步。回想你所走过的中学、大学生活，哪一步不是因为自己的努力。中学，你考上了县重点；大学，你考入省城最高学府。这些不都是因为贫穷作了你最大的动力吗？从某种意义上讲，贫穷是财富。
When you are in college, just because you don't have the travel expenses for home on holidays, you just hide in the dormitory to study; because you don't have the money to buy computers and foreign things, you use paper text instead of electronic documents, you get the most real and effective training, you spend all your energy on your studies, so you become a real leader in the class.
当你在大学时，仅仅因为没有回家的车旅费，你就躲在宿舍里学习；因为你没有钱买电脑和那些洋玩意儿，你用纸质文本代替电子文档，你得到了最真实有效的训练，你把所有的精力都花在了学习上，所以你成为了班上名副其实的尖子。
When you say that others always point at you, it's actually your psychological factors. Maybe they are appreciating you and praising you. Besides, life is hard to be smooth, and temporary difficulties do not mean permanent.
当你说别人总是对你指指点点，其实是你的心理因素在作怪。也许他们是在欣赏你，赞美你。此外，生活很难一帆风顺，暂时的困难并不意味着永久的困难。
Our brothers and sisters may be more grateful to our respective parents, because in this poor family, we have learned how to tolerate, how to seek spiritual comfort in the days of poverty. We should use Mencius's words to inspire ourselves at all times, "heaven will give us a great responsibility, so people must first work hard, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and be empty..."
我们兄妹俩更应该感谢我们各自的父母，因为在这个贫困的家庭里，我们学会了如何忍耐，如何在贫困的日子里寻求精神慰藉。我们应该时刻用孟子的话来激励自己，“天降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身……”
Cousin, there's a way that it's hard to buy young people. Let's taste our life together in setbacks, and hone the wisdom and strength others don't have in the bitter experience!
表哥，有道是千金难买少年贫。让我们一起在挫折中品味生活，在痛苦的经历中磨练别人没有的智慧和力量！
