范文：
The cartoon reveals an astonishing scenario in which hundreds of old people are chasing a small bag tagged “retirement fund”. The artist tactically drew these humans’ heads as bowls, indicating that their retirement life completely depends on this fund. On the other hand, the shrinking bag with a worried face betrays its inability to meet the enormous demand.
As our society turns gradually towards population aging, a series of severe problems about the retirement fund system emerge owing to the expanding scale of the old. A recent report released by the central government shows that in most of the provinces in China, retirement fund fails to make ends meet—the expenditure always overweighs the income. Moreover, the disparity is becoming larger, which results in the lack of adequate fund and the unbalanced structure of the retirement fund system. More importantly, the current legal mechanism of social insurance is not strong enough to tackle with relevant problems.
I strongly maintainthat the task of supporting the old is of great significance to a stable and healthy society. Government should launch a fundamental reform of the retirement fund by promulgating regulations and measures so as to guarantee the system’s efficiency.
譯文：
這幅漫畫展現了一個驚人的場景，成百上千的老人們正在追趕一個貼著“養老保險金”的小袋子。作畫者別出心裁地將人的頭都畫成碗的樣子，說明了老人們的退休生活完全依靠養老保險金。另一方面，這個不斷在縮小的袋子一臉的不高興，因為他無法滿足如此巨大的需求。
隨著我們的社會逐漸趨向老齡化，老年人口的大幅度增長導致了一系列的設計養老保險金制度的問題。一份中央政府最近公布的報道顯示，在中國的大部分省份，養老保險金都無法保持收支平衡——支出往往大于收入。這種缺口正在變得越來越大，導致了養老保險金制度中出現資金缺乏和結構不平衡的問題。更重要的是，現有的社會保險法律機制仍然不完善，無法解決相關的一些問題。
我認為贍養老人的任務對于一個穩定和健康的社會有著重要的意義。政府應該對養老保險金進行根本性的改革，頒布一系列法律法規來保障該體系的效率。這對于建設和諧社會的進程也使不可缺少的。
