3月31日，教育部宣布：今年高考时间推迟一个月，将在7月7日-8日举行。 湖北省、北京市可根据疫情防控情况，研究提出本地区高考时间安排的意见，教育部同意后及时向社会发布。 这是17年来，高考时间首次推迟一个月。 China's national college entrance exam, the gaokao, will be postponed by a month to July 7-8 due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, said the Ministry of Education. Hubei Province, the center of China's outbreak, and the capital Beijing will be allowed to put forward opinions on their own timetables for the tests, China Central Television reported. It is the first time in 17 years that the gaokao has been postponed by a month. 消息一出，很多人都有了一种见证历史的感觉。 对于很多家长来说，高考延迟的决策让学生和家长松了一口气。今年受到疫情影响，大部分高三开学比原计划晚了两个月左右，考生复习时间不足。高考延期到7月举行，为疫情防控赢得了一个月的“巩固期”，同时也确保考生的安全和健康。 The decision to delay the gaokao came as a relief to students and their parents. Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, most high schools postponed their school dates by two months, meaning students didn't have sufficient time to prepare for the exam. The delay of the gaokao to July has won a one-month furlough for pandemic control, while also ensuring the health of students. 大部分家长更担心延期会给考生带来身心煎熬。 孩子的学习时间是一样的，大家其实在同一起跑线上。延期与不延期，无非就是“都考得更好和都考得更不好”的区别，实际意义并不大。“又要多煎熬一个月”，届时7月酷暑难耐，对考生的心理素质又是一大考验。 这是多位家长得知时间推迟后第一时间发出的感想。 从另一角度来说，受疫情耽误的考生终于可以回到学堂，延期可以适当地补回这个时间差，一些基础没打好，考试准备不充分的孩子，有了更多时间夯实基础，查漏补缺。 对偏远山区和贫困地区的孩子，他们没有城里孩子“线上教育”的资源，回到了课堂，对于他们来说，也相对公平一些。 Most parents worry that the gaokao delay will affect students' physical and mental health. Apart from the tough exam itself, the extremely hot weather can be another test for the students. Most parents reacted as above when they first heard the news. But, from another point of view, this one-month delay is a good opportunity for more study time. However, students from remote and poor areas do not have the same "online education" resources as urban children, and the lack of traditionally taught classes is unfair to them. 教育部宣布高考延期后，考生们的反应如何呢？ How did students react after the ministry of education announced the postponement? 疯了，笑了，懵了，感叹了，唏嘘了，这也是青春的独家记忆吧？ 小编登录了百度贴吧“高考吧”，记忆涌上心头。有网友想要见证自己从460-550分的突破。 见证历史没什么大不了的，自己创造历史才“倍儿棒”。 还有的网友特别希望自己成为那匹黑马，利用这一个月的时间，查漏补缺，让自己的成绩实现“神反转”。 还有的网友也豪气万丈，书下一笔。 “在最热的天，做最难的题” 正如一句歌词所说
每当找不到存在的意义，每当迷失在黑夜里，夜空中最亮的星，指引着考生们。
回忆青葱岁月，小编依稀记得那年高三夏天，平日班上再淘气的男生也开始变得爱听讲，中午帮着女生拿饭。每个人都想考个好成绩，哪怕不是最好，但只要不辜负自己，就是最好的回报。 这并不是陈词滥调，高考，真的是一生中，唯一的那么一次机会，可以紧盯着一个目标，不瞻前顾后地去决定自己的去向，也有一批志同道合的战友陪伴着自己。 Memories of youth are always precious. This is not a cliché, as the preparation time for the gaokao is indeed the only time in our lives in which we can focus entirely on a goal without hesitation. And in these days, we always have a group of comrades accompanying us.
