Monarchy
君主制
Do we really need a monarchy in the 21st Century? It's such a strange idea. It certainly is not a democratic idea. No one votes for someone to be king or queen. When a prince or princess is born, he or she automatically has a wonderful life. This is not fair. I had to study and work very hard just to get an average job, with not much money. Those in a monarchy are born into wealth. They never really have to lift a finger. The strange thing is that most people who live in a monarchy like their king and queen. Take the United Kingdom, for example. Around 80 per cent of British people support their monarchy. I suppose it's good for tourism. I wouldn't say no to being part of a royal family.
在21世纪，我们真的还需要君主制吗?这真是个奇怪的想法。这当然不是一个民主的想法。没有人投票选举国王或女王。当一个王子或公主出生时，他或她自动拥有一个美好的生活。这是不公平的。我不得不努力学习和工作，只是为了得到一份薪水不高的普通的工作。君主制国家的人天生富有。他们从来都是饭来张口衣来伸手。奇怪的是，大多数生活在君主制国家的人都喜欢他们的国王和王后。以英国为例，大约80%的英国人支持君主制。我想这对旅游业有好处。我不会拒绝成为皇室的一员。
