Question

帮我翻译一篇文章 请不要用翻译软件谢谢！急用！！！

It is true that volunteering takes up time, energy, and sometimes money. It can be hard work. But it’s great to get opportunities to experience new things, even things when may be challenging or even a little scary.
Sometimes you may think there are too many problems in the world, or even in your community. You might even feel as if there is no point trying to do anything, since you can’t change the situation all by yourself. Well, this is normal for young people. What I want to help you so is to look at the matter in another way. First, imagine you are sanding in a completely dark room without lamps or light switches. Then you light a candle, creating a little or light, and the darkness doesn’t seem to be so terrible as a result of your effort. Then, slowly, other people in the room wide you, until there are a hundred people with a hundred candles. Now the room has become bright, and the darkness is gone!
Volunteering is similar to this. One single person, like one candle, can make a difference, and can inspire others to gather together and make an even bigger difference. Every person is important, and every person can do some good. Just remember that you are not alone, and that there are millions of volunteers around the world.
Secondly, it can be doubly rewarding to find a volunteer position that involves skills that we don’t often use. This lets us gain experience, learn new things, and improve ourselves! For example, if you are shy around strangers, you could think about volunteering with a group or team; this might help you become more outgoing. In conclusion, volunteering can be really worth the effort. So just have a try!

Answer 1

确实做志愿者花费时间，精力，有时还要花费钱财，工作可能很艰苦，但是，最重要的是有机会感受一些新东西，有的可能具有挑战性甚至恐惧，有时你可能认为世界乃至社区困难的事太多，这样做毫无意义，因为你改变不了现状，这样想是正常的，我想帮助别人是从另一种角度看事，首先，设想你在一间没有灯光的黑屋里，你点上一支蜡烛，屋里就不再漆黑，吓人，这就是你的劳动成果，然后，屋里其他人学着你，也点蜡烛，直到点了上百根蜡烛，屋里就变得明亮了，做志愿者就是这个道理，一个人点一根蜡烛，有了一点效果，可以激发其他人去做同样的事情，产生的效果就大了，人人都重要，每个人都能做好事，记住，你不一个人，世界上有千万个志愿者，第二；你会发现做志愿者能够学到一些我们不经常用的技艺，这使我们增长阅历，学到新东西，而提高自身素质，例如；如果你见到陌生人害羞，你可以考虑加入志愿者组织，可以帮助你变得大方，总之，做志愿者利大于弊，去试试吧。

It is true that volunteering takes up time, energy, and sometimes money.
It can be hard work. But it's great to get opportunities to experience new
things, even things that (when) may be challenging or even a little scary.

Sometimes you may think there are too many problems in the world, or even
in your community. You might even feel as if there were (is) (1) no point
trying to do anything, since you can't change the situation all by yourself.
Well, this is normal for young people. What I want to help (2) you so is
to look at the matter in another way. First, imagine you are sanding(3)
in a completely dark room without lamps or light switches. Then you light
a candle, creating a little or(3) light, and the darkness doesn't seem to
be so terrible as a result of your effort. Then, slowly, other people in
the room wide (4)you, until there are a hundred people with a hundred candles.
Now the room becomes (has become) bright, and the darkness has gone!

Volunteering is similar to this. One single person, like one candle, can
make a difference, and can inspire others to gather together and make an
even bigger difference. Every person is important, and every person can
do some good. Just remember that you are not alone, and that there are millions
of volunteers around the world.
Secondly, it can be doubly rewarding to find a volunteer position that involves
skills that we don't often use. This lets us gain experience, learn new
things, and improve ourselves! For example, if you are shy around strangers,
you can (could) think about volunteering with a group or team; this might
help you become more outgoing. In conclusion, volunteering can be really
worth the effort. So just have a try!
