老师们、家长们、同学们：大家好！ 
今天我们国际高中全体高三同学佩戴成人徽章，隆重举行18岁成人仪式。
Nanjing No.13 High School  Tu Guifang
Hello! Teachers, parents and students:
Today, all the classmates from our school wear adult badges and the Coming-of-age Ceremony at the age of 18 is held.
18岁，花一般的年华。我代表学校热烈祝贺你们加入中华人民共和国成年公民的行列！并向老师和家长们，表示衷心的感谢！
The age of 18 is like a flower. On behalf of our school, I warmly congratulate you on joining the ranks of the adult citizens of the People's Republic of China, and express our heartfelt thanks to teachers and parents!
18岁，梦一样的岁月。成人，意味着心理、生理都趋向成熟。今天，我们共同为亲爱的青年朋友们祝福、加油。
The age of 18 is like a dream. Adulthood means that both psychology and physiology tend to be mature. Today, we jointly bless and encourage our dear young friends.
在十三中的校园里，青年朋友们该有怎样的心态和行动呢？我有三点期待：
What kind of mentality and action should the young friends from Nanjing No.13 High School have? I have three expectations:
一要富有责任心，做读书的主人。有了责任心，生活就有了真正的含义和灵魂。读书是做学生的第一责任。当你读书不精而走入社会，你会发现自己就像一个赤手空拳的士兵，面对命运的强敌，你会因为没有护身铠甲而遍体鳞伤，毫无还手之力。
Firstly, be full of responsibility and be a master to read books. With a sense of responsibility, the real meaning and soul of life will appear. Reading is the first responsibility for students. If you have bad grades, you will feel yourself like a bare-handed soldier after entering the society. In the face of strong enemy fate, you will be black and blue as well as defenceless because of no protection.
二要富有爱心，做自己的主人。爱心就是但丁心目中“美德的种子”，爱心就是梵高期待的“爱之花开放的地方，生命便能欣欣向荣”， 爱心就是让你“活出个好模样”，成为“最好的自己”。
Secondly, be a person with a loving heart and your own master. Love is just "The Seed of Virtue" in the heart of Dante. It means that "life can be thriving in a place with the blooming flower of love" in the heart of Van Gogh. It is to let you live better to make you the best you can be.
三要富有决心，做意志的主人。中国有句谚语“山高高不过脚心，山硬硬不过决心”，正如雨果所说“最大的决心会产生最高
