Reduce the burdens/ 减轻负担/ (jiǎnqīnɡ fùdān)

A: Do you know the recent "double reduction" policy?

 你知道近期出台的"双减"政策吗?

(nǐ zhīdào jìnqī chūtái de "shuānɡjiǎn" zhènɡcè ma?)

B: I don't quite understand. Could you tell me?

我不太了解,你能给我讲讲吗?

(wǒ bùtài lejiě, nǐnénɡ ɡěiwǒ jiǎnɡjiǎnɡ ma?)

A: The policy requires that extracurricular training courses should not be set for students in primary and junior middle schools. This is done to teach students to reduce their own burden.

政策要求不能开设针对小学,初中学生的课外培训班。这样做是为了给学生减轻负担。

B: In recent years, this kind of extracurricular training class is really popular with parents. Not only students but also parents are under pressure.

近几年,这种课外培训班确实很受家长欢迎。不仅学生压力大,家长也有压力。

A: You're right. After a long time of study, children's health will also be affected.

没错。长时间的学习,孩子的身体健康也会受到影响。

(méicuò.chánɡshíjiān de xuéxí, háizǐ de shēntǐ jiànkānɡ yěhuì shòudào yǐnɡxiǎnɡ.)

B: Reducing the burden on children's extra study works is important for their physical and mental health.

减负对孩子们的身心健康很重要。
