預測——環境篇
In the first picture, a boy and a girl are planting trees together, contributing their humble share to preserve the eco-system from an early age. And we see a green city without smog in the next picture, where high-rise buildings peek out from thick branches. These scenes are really encouraging.
The invaluable lesson we can draw from the pictures above is that we can improve the air quality we breathe everyday by taking concrete steps to advance the Green City movement. There is no arguing that smog is a problem that we can no longer ignore. But the question is how to fight it and what to do now. Instead of merely tracking smog indicators and complaining about PM2.5 levels on social media, we can make a difference collectively by doing simple things in our daily lives, such as making environmental-friendly choices while shopping and opting for public transportation when travelling. Smog is not built in a day and cannot be attributed to a single factor, so the process to get rid of it would also take time and require persistent efforts from both the public and the government.
It may seem no account whether one person maintain a sustainable lifestyle, but we can gather support from all walks of life and create the synergy, then it will be only a matter of time that smog becomes a rare occurrence and is gradually forgotten as a dated concept.
第一幅圖中，一對男孩和女孩正在合作種樹，從小就為保護生態系統盡綿薄之力。因此，我們在另一幅圖中看到一座沒有霧霾的綠色城市，高樓大廈從濃濃的綠蔭中探出頭來。這些場景真的令人鼓舞。
我們能從圖中得到的寶貴教訓是，我們可以通過切實的行動，推動綠色城市運動，幫助提升空氣質量。毋庸置疑，霧霾是我們不能再忽視的問題。但關鍵在於如何抗擊它，現在能做什麼。與其僅僅是在社交媒體上跟蹤霧霾指數，抱怨PM2.5水平，我們可以通過在日常生活中的一些小事集體做出改變，比如說買東西時選擇環保商品，外出時選擇公共交通。正如霧霾不是一天形成的，也無法歸因於一個來源，消除霧霾的過程也會消耗時間，並需要來自公眾和政府的持續努力。
也許一個人是否維持可持續的生活方式無足輕重，但我們可以聚集社會各界的支持，形成合力，然後隨著時間流逝霧霾定會變得少見並逐漸成為一個過時的概念。
預測——文化篇
As is shown above, in the middle of the picture and on the abacus sits a foreign friend praising the Chinese culture, with many Chinese cultural elements being in front of him, such as peking opera, lantern, New Year painting, paper cutting, fircracker and the like. Funny and interesting as the cartoon is, the symbolic meaning behind it deserves our attention and discussion.
It is not hard to notice that Chinese traditional culture is enjoying the wide popularity around the world these days, as the picture demonstrated. This is a positive trend. For one thing, when strange or different elements come together, people will have fresh perspectives and divergent ways of thinking. They inevitably give birth to inventiveness, which will offer possible answers to current issues facing us. For another thing, time was when western people had the deep misunderstanding of our tradition and culture due to lack of communication, which will widen the gap between the east and the west. Now, the cultural exchange and integration will cultivate mutual respect and tighten potential friendly ties between two culture with totally different origins.
Meanwhile, we should enhance our own traditional culture and promote diveristied cultures among the public, especially among youngsters. The understanding of our own culture and the diversity of different cultures will help those young people produce breakthoughs positively reshaping our life.
參考譯文：如上所示，圖中央和算盤上坐著一位外國朋友，稱讚中國文化，他面前有許多中國文化元素，如京劇、燈籠、年畫、剪紙、煙花爆竹等。圖畫雖然有趣，但其背後的象徵意義值得我們關注和討論。
不難發現，中國的傳統文化在當今的世界範圍內受到了廣泛的歡迎，如圖所示。這是一個積極的趨勢。一方面，當陌生的或不同的因素結合在一起時，人們會有新的觀點和不同的思維方式。他們不可避免地產生了創造性，這將為我們目前面臨的問題提供可能的答案。另一方面，過去，由於缺乏溝通，西方人對我們的傳統和文化有深刻的誤解，這拉大東西方的距離。現在，文化交流與融合將培養相互尊重，並加強兩種淵源迥異的文化之間潛在的友好關係。
同時，要加強自身的傳統文化建設，在社會中，特別是在青少年中，推廣多元化的文化。瞭解我們自己的文化和不同文化的多樣性，將有助於這些年輕人產生能積極改變我們生活的想法。
