大学英语作文：Bee Inspiration: dedication蜜蜂带给我们的启示：奉献精神

　　We can see from the drawing, a swarm of bees flying here and there busily working to produce honey, which will be enjoyed by human beings rather than themselves.Human beings show more respect to bees than to other animals, not for their diligence, but for their dedication to others.We live in a materialistic society and are trained from our earliest years to be greedy.We are taught early on to be materialistic and taught to consider things, or to be exact, money, “mine” or “yours”.It seems impossible to live in the modern society without money.Money is even regarded as a symbol of wealth and social position.There is a saying that goes, “money makes a mare go.People seem to look more highly upon ones' possession of money rather than one's dedication to society.

　　我们从这幅画中可以看到，一群蜜蜂飞来飞去忙着采蜜，它们不是为了自己享受，而是为了给人类酿造甜美的蜂蜜。比起其他动物人们更加尊重蜜蜂，不是因为它们的勤劳，而是因为它们的奉献精神。我们生活在一个物质社会，从小就受到了贪婪索取的训练。早期物质方面的教育使我们从小就对 “你的”和“我的”东西，或者具体一点，也就是金钱，泾渭分明。在当今社会，没有钱是不能生存的。金钱甚至被看作是财富和社会地位的象征。俗话说，“有钱能使鬼推磨。”人们似乎更看中一个人财富的多少，而不是这个人对社会贡献的大小。
