　　The picture conveys a strong patriotic meaning. It portrays a common natural phenomenon: when autumn arrives, leaves from trees will fall to the ground. The fallen leaves will not abandon the tree that they came from. On the contrary, the leaves fall down around the tree in order to cultivate the tree’s roots, which symbolize one’s motherland. ?
　　Patriotism implies a love for one’s mother country. It is the noblest of human sentiments. Every citizen should possess some spirit of patriotism. Patriotism, however, is not to be testified by the tongue; it should be manifested in action. With this definite object in view, one must do his best for his motherland, and, at any moment, be ready to make sacrifices for her. The man who possesses such will is a real patriot at heart. ?
　　Patriotism may be shown in various ways: soldiers display it by fighting for or defending their country; scientists express it by doing constant research work so that more advanced technology can be introduced and utilized in the construction of their motherland; those overseas demonstrate it by doing whatever they can to help their motherland and fall into its embrace without hesitation whenever they are needed. ?
　　The true patriot desires righteousness and uprightness for one’s own land. He puts love of his country before the love of himself, and is willing to makeany sacrifice for it.

　　圖片表達(dá)了一種強烈的愛國主義情懷。它描繪了一個非常普通的自然現(xiàn)象：秋天來臨，落葉歸根。落葉不會遠(yuǎn)離大樹而去，相反，它們落在樹的周圍來滋養(yǎng)大樹的根基，樹根象征著祖國母親。?
　　愛國主義意味著人們對祖國的熱愛。它是人類最高尚的情感。每一個公民都應(yīng)當(dāng)具有愛國主義精神。愛國主義不能停留在口頭上，而應(yīng)當(dāng)落實在行動上。有了這個明確的目標(biāo)，人們必須盡力報效祖國并時刻準(zhǔn)備為祖國犧牲一切。在內(nèi)心里具有這樣精神的人才是真正的愛國主義者。愛國主義表現(xiàn)在各個方面：士兵的愛國主義精神體現(xiàn)在為保衛(wèi)祖國而戰(zhàn)；科學(xué)家的愛國主義精神體現(xiàn)在孜孜不倦的科研工作，把更先進的技術(shù)引進并應(yīng)用在祖國的建設(shè)中；海外華人的愛國主義精神則體現(xiàn)在盡其最大努力幫助建設(shè)自己的祖國，并且在祖國需要的時候毫不猶豫地投入祖國母親的懷抱。?
　　真正的愛國主義者對自己的祖國是正直無私和忠心耿耿的。他把祖國的利益放在個人利益之上，并且為了祖國的利益甘愿犧牲自己的一切。
