范文：
The picture reveals a scenario that is commonly seen in any urban area. A woman on the third floor of a building is happily hanging up the clothes she just washed on a sunny day, ignoring that the dropping water is drenching the dry coverlets hung by her neighbor downstairs. The victim looks very annoyed by the women’s selfish behavior.
It goes without saying that the drawing targets at assailing the deteriorating relationship among neighborhoods or communities. Not only friendship between neighbors becomes rarer, people even tend to forget that helping each other is our ethical responsibility. In contrast, they prefer to place their own interest at the utmost position, overwhelming the fact that others have the same rights. The result is that neighbors are often like strangers, who would never talk to each other of even a single word after living in the same building for years. It is also not surprising to hear news about old people died in their apartments without being known for month.
As the Chinese saying goes, a close neighbor is better than a distant cousin. It fully testifies that neighboring friendship is one of the traditional Chinese virtues, which should not be abandoned or omitted. In short, I firmly believe that maintaining a sound relationship with those who live nearby will make life easier and happier.
译文：
这幅图展示的是一个在都市中常见的场景。在一个阳光灿烂的日子里，一个女人在高兴地晾她刚刚洗完的湿衣服，完全不顾湿衣服的滴水弄湿了楼下邻居晾着的干床单。楼下的受害者看起来对这个女人的自私行为感到非常懊恼。
不言而喻，这幅图的目的在于抨击邻里之间关系的日渐恶化。不仅邻里之间的友谊变得越来越少见，人们甚至忘记了互相帮助是我们的道德责任。相反，他们更喜欢把自己的利益放在最高的位置，而不顾其他人也拥有相同权利。后果就是邻里之间形同陌路，经常发生大家住在一个楼里面很多年却从来没有说过一句话的现象，发生老人客死公寓数月却没有人发现的事情也不足为奇了。
中国古语有云，远亲不如近邻。这充分证明了邻里友谊是民族的传统美德之一，不应该被丢弃或者遗忘。简而言之，我坚信保持一个良好健康的邻里关系会使生活变得更加轻松和美好。
