Attachment 2: [Vice Principal of Legal Affairs Discusses the Constitution]
尊敬的万科双语学校杨帆校长、尊敬的各位校领导和老师们,亲爱的同学们:
Dear Principal Yang Fan of Vanke Bilingual School, esteemed school leaders and teachers, and dear students:
大家早上好!今天我非常荣幸能够作为法治副校长,走进我们万双的校园,与大家共同学习、探讨一个话题——增强法治意识。
Good morning, everyone! Today, I am truly honored to serve as the Vice Principal of Legal Affairs and to discuss a topic with all of you — enhancing legal awareness.
我们先看看“法”这个字,它左边三点水,右边一个去,这是简体字,同学们都认识,但繁体字可能只有部分同学知道,就是在右边“去”字上面还有一个腐(zhi)字,左边的三点水是什么意思呢,水代表什么,不管是一杯水,一脸盆水,还是江河湖泊,汪洋大海里的水,它面上都是怎么样的,同学们能不能用一个字形容,对了,“平”,水平面是很平的,代表了公平,意思是执法要平之如水,要公平;右边上面的腐(ZHI)是指中国古代传说中的一种叫獬豸(XIE ZHI)的神兽,据说龙生九子,獬豸就是他的一个儿子,它的特点是头顶长了一只像犀牛一样的角,(同学们可以留意一下,有些地方的人民法院大门口放的两个石雕动物,它就叫獬豸),据说它能辨别曲直,也就是判断谁对谁错,古代的法院叫衙门,法官叫县令之类,传说在审理案件难以判断时,就会把獬焉牵出来,它能听懂争辩的话,还能做出判断,然后会用头上的角去触碰理屈的人,也就是没有道理的人,或者说违法的人,这是獬豸这种神兽的神奇之处,相当于我们现在的法官;右边下面“去”字是一个动词,意思是惩罚理屈的人,将它驱除。
Let’s first look at the character “法” (law). On the left, there are three dots representing water, and on the right, there is the character “去” (to go), which is in simplified form and recognized by all students. In its traditional form, some students may know that there is another character “腐” (rotten) above “去.” What do the three dots representing water signify? Water represents many things, whether it is a cup of water, a river, a lakes, or an ocean. How would you describe the surface of water in one word? Correct, “平” (flat). A flat water surface symbolizes fairness, meaning that enforcement of the law should be as fair and even as water. The character “腐” refers to a legendary creature in Chinese mythology called “獬豸” (Xiè Zhì). According to legend, the dragon has nine offspring, and “獬豸” is one of them. Its special characteristic is a single horn on its head resembling that of a rhinoceros. (Students may notice that some people’s courts place two stone carvings of this creature at the entrance.) It is said that “獬豸” can distinguish right from wrong, much like how judges in ancient times (referred to as “衙门” or yamen) would reference it to aid in judgments. When faced with a difficult case, they would bring out the “獬豸,” which could help understand the arguments and make a judgment by touching the person who was unreasonable or breaking the law with its horn. This is the magical aspect of “獬豸,” but can still be related to modern judges. The character “去” at the bottom right is a verb that means to punish those who are unreasonable and to drive them away.
所以我们总结一下这个繁体“瀍”这个字的含义,左边的“水”代表公平,是法律追求的精神实质,右边上面的“腐”字是指法官评判的过程,下面的“去”字是最后的结果,对违法者的惩罚。我这样讲,相信同学们通过“瀍”的繁体字对法律的含义有个比较直观的印象。
So we can summarize the meaning of the traditional character “瀍.” The “水”(water) on the left represents fairness, which is the essence of the law’s pursuit; the “腐” (rotten) above on the right refers to the process of sentencing by judges, and the “去” (to go) at the bottom indicates the final outcome — the punishment for those who break the law. By explaining it this way, I believe that students will have a more intuitive impression of the meaning of the law through the traditional character “瀍.”
中国有句古话“没有规矩,不成方圆”,我理解这个规矩就是“法”。法律自古就有,约束着社会上所有人的行为规范,这是人作为高级动物和其他物种甚至机器人的区别,是一种文明进化的体现,它经过几千年的演变,逐步被吸收、调整、完善。现行的法律是中华人民共和国1949年成立以后由全国人民代表大会及常务委员会制定的,广义上的法律也包括中央和地方各级人民政府制定的规章制度。
There is an ancient Chinese saying, “Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.” I interpret this rule as “law.” Laws have existed since ancient times, governing the behavioral norms of all individuals within a society. This distinction between humans, as advanced beings, with other species or even robots reflects the evolution of civilization. Over thousands of years, laws have undergone a process of integration, adjustment, and refinement. The current laws of the People’s Republic of China were established after its founding in 1949 by the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee. Broadly speaking, laws also include regulations formulated by the central and local governments at the various levels.
所有的法律中最大的、最根本的是宪法,它规定一个国家的社会制度、国家制度、国家机构和公民的基本权利和义务等,是国家立法工作的根据。后天12.4是我国第11个国家宪法日,设立国家宪法日是一个重要的仪式,传递的是依宪治国,依宪执政的理念。从一个人出生的这一刻开始,宪法便开始保护我们,影响我们,就医、上学、成年、上大学、毕业、参军、工作、休年假、结婚、生子、买房、退休等等,宪法守护我们的一生。
Among all the laws, the highest and most fundamental is the Constitution, which defines the country’s social system, national system, government structure, and the basic rights and obligations of its citizens, serving as the basis for the legislative work. December 4th marks our 11th National Constitution Day, an important ceremony that conveys the principles of governing the country according to the Constitution. From the moment a person is born, the Constitution begins to protect us and influence our lives—including aspects such as medical care, education, reaching adulthood, attending university, graduating, joining the army, working, taking vacations, getting married, having children, buying a house, and retirement—the Constitution safeguards us throughout our whole lives.
可以这样说,任何一个国家宪法是至高无上的,任何法律都不能跟宪法产生冲突。这里我相信我们万科双语学校也会借国家宪法日的契机,开展相关活动进行宣传和普及。除了宪法,还有下位的刑法、民法、教育法、未成年人保护法等等,这些都是跟我们学校的老师和同学们密切相关的。接下来有些同学可能要问:警察叔叔管的是什么法呢?我来告诉你们,警察叔叔管的是与社会治安、公共秩序、交通秩序等方面相关的法律,比如刑法、治安处罚法、交通法等等。举个例子,某个地方发生了刑事案件,警察叔叔就会马上到现场进行勘察,调查取证,然后把坏人抓起来,送到法庭去接受审判。这些都是我们电影电视里常见的片段。
It can be said that the Constitution of any country is its supreme law, and no other law can conflict with it. Here at Vanke Bilingual School, I believe we can also take the opportunity of National Constitution Day to carry out related activities for promotion and awareness. In addition to the Constitution, there are subordinate laws such as criminal law, civil law, education law, and juvenile protection law, all of which are closely related to our teachers and students. Some students might ask: “What laws do the police handle?” Let me tell you, the police enforce all laws related to public safety, public order, and traffic regulation. These include criminal law, public security administration law, and traffic law. For example, if a criminal incident occurs in a certain area, the police will immediately arrive at the scene to investigate, collect evidence, and then apprehend the wrongdoer to bring them to court for trial. These are common scenes that we often see in movies and television.
回到今天的主题,“增强法制意识”。首先我们要从学习法律知识开始。校长告诉我,万双的理念是“让孩子站在未来中央”,我觉得非常棒,相信在场的每一位同学未来都会成为国家的栋梁。但是,我也要说,同学们现在的年纪,正是人生观、价值观形成的关键时期,也是最容易受外界影响、产生行为偏差的时期。青少年因为缺乏必要的法律知识,或是法制观念淡薄,走上违法犯罪的例子数不胜数,令人痛心。
Returning to today’s topic of “Enhancing Legal Awareness,” we must begin with the acquisition of legal knowledge. The principal told me that Vanke’s philosophy is “to allow children to stand at the center of the future,” which I think is wonderful. I believe every student present here will become pillars of the nation in the future. Furthermore, I must also say that the students at this age are in a critical period for the formation of their worldviews and values, and it is also when they are most easily influenced by external factors, which could potentially lead to bad behavior. There are countless examples of teenagers who, lacking the necessary legal knowledge or having weak awareness of the law, end up engaging in illegal activities, which is heartbreaking.
其次要培养法制思维。要明白哪些行为是合法的,哪些是违法的,甚至哪些是犯罪,分别有什么后果。(我这里再解释一下违法和犯罪的区别,我们通常说的违法是指一般违法,有一类区别于一般违法的严重违法,它触犯了刑法,要追究刑事责任,这就叫犯罪);法制思维还包括明确权利和义务(比如同学们有受教育的权利,有休息的权利:父母和老师有对同学们监护的义务等等):法制思维还要求培养公平正义、诚实守信、尊重规则等法制精神.
Secondly, we need to increase legal awareness. Students should understand which behaviors are legal and which are illegal, as well as what constitutes a crime and the consequences of each. (Here, let me explain the difference between illegal acts and crimes. When we generally refer to illegal acts, it means ordinary violations of the law. There is a category of severe violations that differ from ordinary ones, which violate criminal law and incur criminal responsibility; this is termed a crime.) Legal thinking also includes understanding your rights and obligations (for example, students have the right to an education and the right to rest; parents and teachers have the obligation to supervise students, etc.). Moreover, legal thinking requires the cultivation of values such as fairness, justice, honesty, trustworthiness, and respect for rules.
再次,最重要一点是增强自我保护能力,面对不法侵害时,我们要勇敢的说出来,尤其是校园欺凌,同学们一定要告诉老师、父母,警察叔叔也一定会保护你们;还有就是预防上当受骗,特别是在网络上,现在每天都在发生很多电信网络诈骗案件,我们回家一定要告诉家里人,让他们不要轻易相信陌生电话,网上信息,更不能因为任何事情给不认识的人转账,否则转出去的钱一定没有了。这一点拜托同学们一定要跟家里人说三遍,至少隔一个星期提醒一遍。这算是我作为万双的法治副校长给同学们布置的作业,也请学校抓好落实,说到底,我不希望看到同学们以及你们家里人被电信网络诈骗。
Lastly, and most importantly, we must enhance our self-protection abilities. When witnessing illegal acts, we should be brave enough to speak out, especially in cases of bullying at school. Students must inform their teachers, parents, and police officers, who will all protect you. Additionally, we need to prevent falling victim to scams, particularly online fraud. Many phone and internet fraud cases are happening every day. When we go home, we must inform our family members not to easily trust unknown phone calls or online information, and they should never transfer money to strangers for any reason; otherwise, that money will undoubtedly be lost. I urge students to remind their family members of this advice often, at least once every week. This is a task I assign to you as the Vice Principal of Legal Affairs at Vanke, and I ask the school to ensure its implementation. Ultimately, I do not want to see students or their families fall victim to telecom and internet scams.
说到这里,我还想强调一点,法律是针对社会上所有人,回到校园里,同学们应该遵守纪律,只有在学校遵守了纪律,将来我们走上社会,我们才会遵守法律,这样法律也会保护我们每个人的一生。所以,同学们能不能告诉我一个词组,我们来填空,遵*守*,遵什么守什么,同学们能不能给出答案。很好,答案就是“遵纪守法”,希望大家牢牢记住。同学们真的太棒了!最后,谢谢在场的老师和同学们!
At this point, I would like to emphasize that the law applies to everyone in society. In school, students should adhere to discipline; only by following the rules at school can we respect the law when we fully enter society in the future. In this way, the law will protect everyone’s lives. Therefore, can anyone provide me with a phrase to fill in the blank, “遵___守____”? What do we adhere to? Can anyone provide the answer? Excellent, the answer is “遵纪守法,”which means to abide by discipline and law. I hope everyone remembers this clearly. You all did an amazing job! Finally, thank you to the teachers and students present!

Attachment 2: [Vice Principal of Legal Affairs Discusses the Constitution]
尊敬的万科双语学校杨帆校长、尊敬的各位校领导和老师们,亲爱的同学们:
Dear Principal Yang Fan of Vanke Bilingual School, esteemed school leaders and teachers, and dear students:
大家早上好!今天我非常荣幸能够作为法治副校长,走进我们万双的校园,与大家共同学习、探讨一个话题——增强法治意识。
Good morning, everyone! Today, I am truly honored to serve as the Vice Principal of Legal Affairs and to discuss a topic with all of you — enhancing legal awareness.
我们先看看“法”这个字,它左边三点水,右边一个去,这是简体字,同学们都认识,但繁体字可能只有部分同学知道,就是在右边“去”字上面还有一个腐(zhi)字,左边的三点水是什么意思呢,水代表什么,不管是一杯水,一脸盆水,还是江河湖泊,汪洋大海里的水,它面上都是怎么样的,同学们能不能用一个字形容,对了,“平”,水平面是很平的,代表了公平,意思是执法要平之如水,要公平;右边上面的腐(ZHI)是指中国古代传说中的一种叫獬豸(XIE ZHI)的神兽,据说龙生九子,獬豸就是他的一个儿子,它的特点是头顶长了一只像犀牛一样的角,(同学们可以留意一下,有些地方的人民法院大门口放的两个石雕动物,它就叫獬豸),据说它能辨别曲直,也就是判断谁对谁错,古代的法院叫衙门,法官叫县令之类,传说在审理案件难以判断时,就会把獬焉牵出来,它能听懂争辩的话,还能做出判断,然后会用头上的角去触碰理屈的人,也就是没有道理的人,或者说违法的人,这是獬豸这种神兽的神奇之处,相当于我们现在的法官;右边下面“去”字是一个动词,意思是惩罚理屈的人,将它驱除。
Let’s first look at the character “法” (law). On the left, there are three dots representing water, and on the right, there is the character “去” (to go), which is in simplified form and recognized by all students. In its traditional form, some students may know that there is another character “腐” (rotten) above “去.” What do the three dots representing water signify? Water represents many things, whether it is a cup of water, a river, a lakes, or an ocean. How would you describe the surface of water in one word? Correct, “平” (flat). A flat water surface symbolizes fairness, meaning that enforcement of the law should be as fair and even as water. The character “腐” refers to a legendary creature in Chinese mythology called “獬豸” (Xiè Zhì). According to legend, the dragon has nine offspring, and “獬豸” is one of them. Its special characteristic is a single horn on its head resembling that of a rhinoceros. (Students may notice that some people’s courts place two stone carvings of this creature at the entrance.) It is said that “獬豸” can distinguish right from wrong, much like how judges in ancient times (referred to as “衙门” or yamen) would reference it to aid in judgments. When faced with a difficult case, they would bring out the “獬豸,” which could help understand the arguments and make a judgment by touching the person who was unreasonable or breaking the law with its horn. This is the magical aspect of “獬豸,” but can still be related to modern judges. The character “去” at the bottom right is a verb that means to punish those who are unreasonable and to drive them away.
所以我们总结一下这个繁体“瀍”这个字的含义,左边的“水”代表公平,是法律追求的精神实质,右边上面的“腐”字是指法官评判的过程,下面的“去”字是最后的结果,对违法者的惩罚。我这样讲,相信同学们通过“瀍”的繁体字对法律的含义有个比较直观的印象。
So we can summarize the meaning of the traditional character “瀍.” The “水”(water) on the left represents fairness, which is the essence of the law’s pursuit; the “腐” (rotten) above on the right refers to the process of sentencing by judges, and the “去” (to go) at the bottom indicates the final outcome — the punishment for those who break the law. By explaining it this way, I believe that students will have a more intuitive impression of the meaning of the law through the traditional character “瀍.”
中国有句古话“没有规矩,不成方圆”,我理解这个规矩就是“法”。法律自古就有,约束着社会上所有人的行为规范,这是人作为高级动物和其他物种甚至机器人的区别,是一种文明进化的体现,它经过几千年的演变,逐步被吸收、调整、完善。现行的法律是中华人民共和国1949年成立以后由全国人民代表大会及常务委员会制定的,广义上的法律也包括中央和地方各级人民政府制定的规章制度。
There is an ancient Chinese saying, “Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.” I interpret this rule as “law.” Laws have existed since ancient times, governing the behavioral norms of all individuals within a society. This distinction between humans, as advanced beings, with other species or even robots reflects the evolution of civilization. Over thousands of years, laws have undergone a process of integration, adjustment, and refinement. The current laws of the People’s Republic of China were established after its founding in 1949 by the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee. Broadly speaking, laws also include regulations formulated by the central and local governments at the various levels.
所有的法律中最大的、最根本的是宪法,它规定一个国家的社会制度、国家制度、国家机构和公民的基本权利和义务等,是国家立法工作的根据。后天12.4是我国第11个国家宪法日,设立国家宪法日是一个重要的仪式,传递的是依宪治国,依宪执政的理念。从一个人出生的这一刻开始,宪法便开始保护我们,影响我们,就医、上学、成年、上大学、毕业、参军、工作、休年假、结婚、生子、买房、退休等等,宪法守护我们的一生。
Among all the laws, the highest and most fundamental is the Constitution, which defines the country’s social system, national system, government structure, and the basic rights and obligations of its citizens, serving as the basis for the legislative work. December 4th marks our 11th National Constitution Day, an important ceremony that conveys the principles of governing the country according to the Constitution. From the moment a person is born, the Constitution begins to protect us and influence our lives—including aspects such as medical care, education, reaching adulthood, attending university, graduating, joining the army, working, taking vacations, getting married, having children, buying a house, and retirement—the Constitution safeguards us throughout our whole lives.
可以这样说,任何一个国家宪法是至高无上的,任何法律都不能跟宪法产生冲突。这里我相信我们万科双语学校也会借国家宪法日的契机,开展相关活动进行宣传和普及。除了宪法,还有下位的刑法、民法、教育法、未成年人保护法等等,这些都是跟我们学校的老师和同学们密切相关的。接下来有些同学可能要问:警察叔叔管的是什么法呢?我来告诉你们,警察叔叔管的是与社会治安、公共秩序、交通秩序等方面相关的法律,比如刑法、治安处罚法、交通法等等。举个例子,某个地方发生了刑事案件,警察叔叔就会马上到现场进行勘察,调查取证,然后把坏人抓起来,送到法庭去接受审判。这些都是我们电影电视里常见的片段。
It can be said that the Constitution of any country is its supreme law, and no other law can conflict with it. Here at Vanke Bilingual School, I believe we can also take the opportunity of National Constitution Day to carry out related activities for promotion and awareness. In addition to the Constitution, there are subordinate laws such as criminal law, civil law, education law, and juvenile protection law, all of which are closely related to our teachers and students. Some students might ask: “What laws do the police handle?” Let me tell you, the police enforce all laws related to public safety, public order, and traffic regulation. These include criminal law, public security administration law, and traffic law. For example, if a criminal incident occurs in a certain area, the police will immediately arrive at the scene to investigate, collect evidence, and then apprehend the wrongdoer to bring them to court for trial. These are common scenes that we often see in movies and television.
回到今天的主题,“增强法制意识”。首先我们要从学习法律知识开始。校长告诉我,万双的理念是“让孩子站在未来中央”,我觉得非常棒,相信在场的每一位同学未来都会成为国家的栋梁。但是,我也要说,同学们现在的年纪,正是人生观、价值观形成的关键时期,也是最容易受外界影响、产生行为偏差的时期。青少年因为缺乏必要的法律知识,或是法制观念淡薄,走上违法犯罪的例子数不胜数,令人痛心。
Returning to today’s topic of “Enhancing Legal Awareness,” we must begin with the acquisition of legal knowledge. The principal told me that Vanke’s philosophy is “to allow children to stand at the center of the future,” which I think is wonderful. I believe every student present here will become pillars of the nation in the future. Furthermore, I must also say that the students at this age are in a critical period for the formation of their worldviews and values, and it is also when they are most easily influenced by external factors, which could potentially lead to bad behavior. There are countless examples of teenagers who, lacking the necessary legal knowledge or having weak awareness of the law, end up engaging in illegal activities, which is heartbreaking.
其次要培养法制思维。要明白哪些行为是合法的,哪些是违法的,甚至哪些是犯罪,分别有什么后果。(我这里再解释一下违法和犯罪的区别,我们通常说的违法是指一般违法,有一类区别于一般违法的严重违法,它触犯了刑法,要追究刑事责任,这就叫犯罪);法制思维还包括明确权利和义务(比如同学们有受教育的权利,有休息的权利:父母和老师有对同学们监护的义务等等):法制思维还要求培养公平正义、诚实守信、尊重规则等法制精神.
Secondly, we need to increase legal awareness. Students should understand which behaviors are legal and which are illegal, as well as what constitutes a crime and the consequences of each. (Here, let me explain the difference between illegal acts and crimes. When we generally refer to illegal acts, it means ordinary violations of the law. There is a category of severe violations that differ from ordinary ones, which violate criminal law and incur criminal responsibility; this is termed a crime.) Legal thinking also includes understanding your rights and obligations (for example, students have the right to an education and the right to rest; parents and teachers have the obligation to supervise students, etc.). Moreover, legal thinking requires the cultivation of values such as fairness, justice, honesty, trustworthiness, and respect for rules.
再次,最重要一点是增强自我保护能力,面对不法侵害时,我们要勇敢的说出来,尤其是校园欺凌,同学们一定要告诉老师、父母,警察叔叔也一定会保护你们;还有就是预防上当受骗,特别是在网络上,现在每天都在发生很多电信网络诈骗案件,我们回家一定要告诉家里人,让他们不要轻易相信陌生电话,网上信息,更不能因为任何事情给不认识的人转账,否则转出去的钱一定没有了。这一点拜托同学们一定要跟家里人说三遍,至少隔一个星期提醒一遍。这算是我作为万双的法治副校长给同学们布置的作业,也请学校抓好落实,说到底,我不希望看到同学们以及你们家里人被电信网络诈骗。
Lastly, and most importantly, we must enhance our self-protection abilities. When witnessing illegal acts, we should be brave enough to speak out, especially in cases of bullying at school. Students must inform their teachers, parents, and police officers, who will all protect you. Additionally, we need to prevent falling victim to scams, particularly online fraud. Many phone and internet fraud cases are happening every day. When we go home, we must inform our family members not to easily trust unknown phone calls or online information, and they should never transfer money to strangers for any reason; otherwise, that money will undoubtedly be lost. I urge students to remind their family members of this advice often, at least once every week. This is a task I assign to you as the Vice Principal of Legal Affairs at Vanke, and I ask the school to ensure its implementation. Ultimately, I do not want to see students or their families fall victim to telecom and internet scams.
说到这里,我还想强调一点,法律是针对社会上所有人,回到校园里,同学们应该遵守纪律,只有在学校遵守了纪律,将来我们走上社会,我们才会遵守法律,这样法律也会保护我们每个人的一生。所以,同学们能不能告诉我一个词组,我们来填空,遵*守*,遵什么守什么,同学们能不能给出答案。很好,答案就是“遵纪守法”,希望大家牢牢记住。同学们真的太棒了!最后,谢谢在场的老师和同学们!
At this point, I would like to emphasize that the law applies to everyone in society. In school, students should adhere to discipline; only by following the rules at school can we respect the law when we fully enter society in the future. In this way, the law will protect everyone’s lives. Therefore, can anyone provide me with a phrase to fill in the blank, “遵___守____”? What do we adhere to? Can anyone provide the answer? Excellent, the answer is “遵纪守法,”which means to abide by discipline and law. I hope everyone remembers this clearly. You all did an amazing job! Finally, thank you to the teachers and students present!
