Should Life Be Saved at the Cost of Others?

In recent years, the news about saving others' lives at the cost of one's own are frequently reported. Some people praise the people who save others, becuase it's traditional virtue in China to help those who are in need. However, some other people argue that it's not worth to save others lives at the cost of one's own and it should not be encouraged. As far as I am concerned, the spirit of self-sacrifice is worthy for us to learn, but we should find amore appropriate way to avoid accident as well.

近年来，关于用自己的生命为代价来拯救别人的生命的新闻频繁被报道。有的人赞扬拯救别人的人，因为帮助需要的人是中国的传统美德。然而，其他人争论到，以自己的生命为代价去拯救别人的生命是不值得的，这种行为不应该太被鼓励。在我看来，自我牺牲精神是值得我们学习的，但是我们也应该找一个更合适的方法来避免事故。

First, every life is precious and respected. Whenever somebody is in danger, we will certainly give them a hand to rescue the lifeif we could. It's our nature. However, it's unwise to take action without any considerations. For instance,somebody is drowning, if you are good at swimming, you could jump into the water to save the life; but if you can't swim, the best way for you is not jump into the water but shout loudly and ask others for help. Secondly, some extra accidents can be avoided if we think carefully. There are too many stories about young and promising people sacrifice their own lives to save other but lost their own lives. It's quite debated about these cases. They all have their persuasive reasons and it's difficult for us to tell right or wrong between them.

首先，每个生命都是珍贵和值得尊重的。无论什么时候，只要有人有危险，如果可以的话，我们一定会伸出援助之手。但是，缺乏考虑而采取行动的行为是不明智的。比如，有人溺水的时候，如果你擅长游泳，你可以跳到水里拯救生命；但是如果你不会游泳，你最好不要跳进水里，而是大声喊叫寻求他人的帮助。其次，如果我们仔细考虑，一些额外的事故就可以避免。有太多故事是关于年轻有前途的人牺牲他们自己的生命去拯救别人，但是失去了自己的生命的。这样的案件争议相当大。他们都有有说服力的理由，我们很难判断他们谁对谁错。

In conclusion, we should study the noble spirit and action of those who sacrifice themselves to save lives. However, we should also try our best to find the best way to rescue others at the lowest cost. Anyway, all lives are precious, unique and respected and we don't want to see anybody lose their lives.

总之，我们应该学习那些牺牲自己拯救他人的人的高尚精神和行为。但是，我们也应该尽我们最大的努力以最小的代价去营救他人。不管怎么样，所有的生命都是宝贵，独一无二并且值得尊重的，我们不想看到任何人失去他们的生命。
