双语新闻 | 00后纠错英语教材，网友：给孩子奖励几本练习册吧

近日，沈阳市126中学7年级学生崔宸溪把自己的发现反映给了上海教育出版社。

“我在预习沪教版英语教材时，发现95页有点小问题。95页上有3张小昆虫的照片，按英文的说明分别应该是蝴蝶、蚂蚁和蜜蜂。但是图片上却是蝴蝶、蚂蚁和食蚜蝇……”

A teenager in Shenyang, Northeast China's Liaoning province, reported a mistake in a textbook to its publisher, pointing out a mix-up of two insects in one of its illustrations. His correction won praises from netizens.

“I noticed a tiny mistake on page 95 of the English textbook published by Shanghai Educational Publishing House when I was preparing lessons before class,” said Cui Chenxi, a 7th grader in Shenyang No. 126 Middle School. Cui had found an illustration captioned as “bee” to actually be hoverfly in the picture.

10月8日，出版社的编辑给小崔的妈妈回电：“我们查了一下，是有问题。问了专业的生物老师，确认了问题的确存在。现在的孩子都很厉害，非常专业。因为是国家送审的教材，需要先向教育部报备才能进行修改，下次重印的时候会进行替换，也感谢你们提出问题。”

An editor of the publisher on Friday confirmed the error they made after consulting a biology teacher and said it will rectify the mistake by replacing the wrong picture in a reprinted version after it gets approval from the Ministry of Education.

The editor also thanked the 12-year-old boy for reporting the error, and praised him for being “really professional”.

当问到小崔是怎么发现教材有问题时，他回应：“其实也挺简单，蜜蜂有两对翅膀、食蚜蝇只有一对，而且蜜蜂的肚子是胖胖的，食蚜蝇很瘦的。蜜蜂的触角很明显，食蚜蝇的不明显。”

When asked how he discovered the mistake Cui said, “It's simple. Bees have two pairs of wings while hoverflies have only one pair of functional wings and bees are plump with their round belly versus the hoverfly's slim figure. What's more, bees have distinct tentacles while those of hoverflies are obscure.”

区分食蚜蝇和蜜蜂的三大要点正是：①触角长短；②翅膀数量；③后腿的粗细。

崔宸溪今年12岁。他的妈妈表示，生物学是小崔从小就最喜欢的一门学科，她提到了几件事：

❶小学时，他自己在家里养过10多种蚂蚁，观察他们的习性、种群内的分工等；

❷家里自然科学方面的书有300多本，他自己就有一个专门的书架；

❸小崔独立学习的能力很强，从没有参加过课外培训机构的学习；

❹这次国庆节老师让写个作文《这就是母亲》，结果他写的是昆虫如何保护自己的卵。

As a young man who took an avid interest in biology, Cui had raised 10 types of ants in his primary school days in order to observe the insects' habits and their pision of labor, according to Cui's mother.

The family stores more than 300 titles of books related to natural science and Cui has a bookshelf of his own. Having not attended a single one of the extracurricular training classes which parents are keen to put their kids in, the boy is happy to learn independently.

网友们纷纷为小崔点赞，称“学习有兴趣才能走得更远”。

Many net users expressed their appreciation of Cui's devotion to science and commented that it's only with passion that one can reach higher achievement.
