七 社会热点类：流行文化（整容）


As is depicted in the drawing, ______. The caption indicates that ______ has gained tremendous popularity in recent decades.

Firstly, one’s appearance is his or her parents’ blessing, and has been one part of his or her body. After breast enlargement surgery, many women look sexier than before. However, many of them are later diagnosed with mammary gland diseases. An even more serious effect is that they risk being unable to breast-feed. Secondly, advocating for such a practice will mislead people in their judgment of beauty. The concept of beauty is quite rich in its content. It should include many virtues like honesty, diligence, and so on, which should be the real mainstays of our spiritual life. The practice and the debates about man-made beauty will confuse those who are to develop a correct concept of beauty.

Considering the above possible harms the practice may bring about, I am strongly against it and advocate seeking true and natural beauty. Besides, people, especially women, should put more attention on the cultivation of their inner hearts. Inner beauty outweighs outer beauty in the long run.



参考译文

如图所示，______。文字说明显示：最近几十年来，______很受欢迎。

首先，人的外表是父母的赐予，也是他们身体的一部分。在丰胸手术之后，很多女性看起来比以前更加性感。然而，她们中的很多人随后会被诊断出乳腺疾病。更严重的后果是，她们面临着无法哺乳的风险。其次，提倡整容这种行为将误导人们对美的判断。美这一概念的内涵很丰富。它应该包括许多诸如诚实、勤奋等类似的美德，而这些美德才应该是我们精神生活中真正的支柱。整容的行为以及关于人造美的种种辩论将会误导一些人，使他们无法形成正确的审美观念。

考虑到这种行为可能带来的上述危害，我强烈反对整容，并提倡追求真实自然的美。此外，人们（尤其是女性）应该更加重视修养内在的心灵。从长远来看，内在美要胜过外在美。





八 环境保护类：低碳经济


As is symbolically illustrated in the picture, ______. The caption indicates that ______.

The painter aims at reminding us of the relationship between a low-carbon economy and environmental protection. In the first place, a low-carbon economy is crucial to sustainable economic development. Economic expansion causes irreparable damage to our environment. The fragile ecological environment, insufficient environmental capacity and shortages of resources are becoming critical problems hindering the world’s development. In the second place, environmental protection is in line with traditional Chinese culture. One of the core principles of traditional Chinese culture is to maintain harmony between man and nature. Many philosophies including Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have emphasized the significance of a balanced environment.

In conclusion, a low-carbon economy is indispensable for sustainable development. Haunted by various environmental problems, we should put the low-carbon economy at the core of our economic development plans and solve wide-ranging environmental problems before they evolve into environmental crisis.



参考译文

这幅象征性的图画显示，______。文字说明显示：“______”。

画家旨在提醒我们低碳经济与环境保护之间的关系。首先，低碳经济对经济的可持续发展至关重要。经济的发展给我们的环境带来了无法弥补的损失。脆弱的生态环境、环境的承受能力不堪重负和资源短缺现在成为阻碍世界发展的至关重要的因素。其次，保护环境应该与中国传统文化保持一致。中国传统文化的一个核心原则是维护人类和大自然的和谐统一。很多哲学，包括儒家、道家和佛家思想都强调和谐环境的重要性。

总之，低碳经济对可持续发展来说是必不可少的。由于被各种各样的环境问题所困扰，我们应该把低碳经济放在经济发展计划的核心位置，在各种各样的环境问题演变为环境危机之前将其解决。





九 人生哲理类


As we can see from the picture, ______. It is obvious that ______.

This picture does reflect a thought-provoking social phenomenon which is not uncommon in China now. The young always give up because the problem is beyond their ability to cope with. Superficially, it seems to be somewhat reasonable, but when weighing in the mind, we find there is an apparent tendency underlying this phenomenon: the lack of ______. Firstly, it is well-known that we exist in a dynamic world with various difficulties. We can do nothing but face them. Secondly, attitude is the key point to take the first step. Assuming ______ to solve the problem, you will find the question is not as “huge” as you imagine. Take us for example, the entrance exam for graduate students even seems to be a horrible monster before us. Some people give up, some persist. So, with ______ and the right assessment of the difficulties, try and exert our strength, and then we will overcome all problems.

On the whole, I believe we young people should face the difficulties in a right manner. And nothing is impossible to a willing heart, just do it！



参考译文

如图所示，______。显而易见，______。

这幅图确实反映了一个目前在中国很普遍的、发人深省的社会现象。由于问题超出他们的解决能力，年轻人总是容易放弃。表面上看来，这幅图似乎有一些道理，但仔细思考之后，我们发现在此现象背后，有一种明显的趋势，那就是缺乏______。首先，众所周知，我们生活在一个充满各种困难的动态世界中。我们除了面对，别无选择。其次，态度是迈出第一步的关键。只要有______来解决问题，你就会发现问题并非你想的那么“严重”。以我们为例，研究生入学考试似乎是我们面前的一个可怕的怪物。有些人放弃了，而有些人则坚持不懈。因此，拥有______和对困难的正确评估，竭尽全力，我们就将解决所有问题。

总而言之，我认为我们年轻人应该以正确的方式面对困难。世上无难事，只怕有心人。勇敢地去做吧！





十 人生哲理类


As is vividly depicted in the picture, ______. Obviously, it is ______ that makes it possible for them to achieve success.

Simple as it is, what the picture conveys to us is thought-provoking. With the development of economy and society, competition is increasingly fierce.

2010-2016中国艺术团体赴美演出及国内上映的美国电影数量

经典范文087

It is apparent from the line graph that the number of Chinese art groups performing in the U.S. and American movies shown in China both increased between 2010 and 2016. During the six years, the amount of Chinese art groups performing in the United States jumped from 100 to 460, whereas the number of American films shown in our country has been on a steady rise from 50 to about 180, a rise of about 130.

Firstly, the fact that people from different countries are attracted to the mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally. Secondly, a nation’s unique culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization has become irresistible, increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship.

It is my view that national culture should be preserved and cherished as a priceless spiritual treasure. Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate internationalized culture for those ideas from the other cultures, controversial or even absurd at first sight, can in the long run provide a different perspective for us to observe the world. Nevertheless, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its virtues and to resist its dark side. Only in this way can we promote national cultural development positively and make our world multidimensional, colorful and vigorous.



参考译文

在线状图中显而易见的是，中国艺术团体赴美演出的次数和国内上映的美国电影数量从2010年至2016年均在增长。在这六年中，中国艺术团体赴美演出的场次从100场猛增到460场，而国内上映的美国电影数量从50部稳步增长到约180部，增长了约130部。

首先，神秘的中国文化吸引了各国人民这一事实表明，在某种程度上一种文化可以在国际范围内被接受、尊重、欣赏和分享。其次，一个民族独特的文化可以通过全球性的经济和文化交流走向世界。由于全球化潮流不可阻挡，所以日益频繁的文化交流可以有效增进相互间的理解和友谊。

在我看来，我们应该保护和珍惜作为无价精神财富的民族文化。同时，我们有充足的理由提倡世界文化，因为来自其他文化的那些观点，即使乍看起来有争议甚至很荒谬，但从长远看来却可以为我们观察这个世界提供一种不同的视角。尽管如此，在面对不同文化时，我们应该充满理智地取其精华、去其糟粕。只有这样我们才能积极发展民族文化，并使我们的世界丰富多元、多姿多彩、充满活力。

某高校学生创业原因调查

经典范文088

Increasingly, it has become common for university students to take on part-time jobs or even start their own businesses prior to graduation. From the information given in the pie chart, we can see a survey on the reasons for starting one’s own business among college students at a certain university. Those whose goal is to become entrepreneurs account for 44% of the total, the biggest among all the five categories, while those who could not find suitable jobs account for 15%.

As long as students are cautious, real-world entrepreneurial experience can greatly benefit their future careers. Above all, students who launch their own business can gain valuable insight into their future career paths. Some students may even choose to switch majors as a result of insight gained from work experience or entrepreneurial activities. In addition, regardless of whether a student succeeds or fails in a business venture, the mere fact of having work experience will come in handy when seeking a full-time job after graduation. Employers will regard students with such experience as more ambitious, hard-working and mature than graduates who lack it. However, despite the benefits to students of “getting their feet wet” in the business world, it is crucial that they maintain academic studies as a top priority.

Ultimately, every student must decide how best to allocate his or her time outside of class. Indeed, many college-goers are wary of venturing into the real world until absolutely necessary. However, for those with a manageable schedule, exploratory mind and entrepreneurial spirit, work experience prior to graduation can offer important career benefits—not to mention a paycheck.



参考译文

大学生兼职或在毕业前就开始创业的现象日益普及。从上述饼状图中，我们可以看到对某高校学生创业原因的调查。那些目标就是创业者的学生占44%，在五种原因中比例最大，而那些未找到合适工作的学生占15%。

只要学生们能谨慎行事，现实社会的创业经历对他们将来的职业是非常有益的。首先，创业的学生对自己未来的职业道路能有清晰的认识。一些学生在兼职或创业的过程中，能对他们的专业有更深入的了解，有些甚至会选择调换专业。其次，且不管学生在创业中成败与否，只要学生拥有一份工作经验，那就能在毕业找工作时派上用场。雇主会认为，与那些缺乏工作经验的学生相比，他们有更强烈的上进心，工作更努力，而且更为成熟。然而，尽管学生能在涉足商界的经历中获益匪浅，但将学习放在首位仍然非常关键。

最终，每个学生都得知道如何才能最好地分配课余时间。的确，有很多学生只有在迫不得已时，才会跨入现实社会中。但是对于那些能合理安排时间，有探索精神和创业理想的同学而言，毕业前的工作经验会使他们在未来的职场中受益匪浅，更别提他们拿到的那份薪水了。

2012-2015中国电影票房及观影人数

经典范文089

The chart above clearly illustrates the data of Chinese movie box office income and film-goers between 2012 and 2015. As is shown in the chart, the number of film-goers increased dramatically, from 460 million to 1.1 billion, during the four years, while the amount of box office income has been on a steady rise, from 16.5 billion yuan to 40 billion yuan, in the same period.

In my opinion, the three primary reasons are stories, special effects and movie stars. First and foremost, a movie is, essentially, technology’s answer to the traditional storybook. We all hunger for a life full of passion, excitement and love. If we don’t have these things in our own lives, we try to experience them through stories. In addition, special effects are another crowd-puller. This type of movie magic amazes the audience and keeps them coming back for more. Last but not least, movies have become so popular due to movie stars. The majority of people find movie stars very attractive, if not for their looks, then for their personalities. Many people have a favorite actor or actress whom they idolize and would love to see in more movies.

In summary, movies are so prevalent because of the attraction of stories, special effects and movie stars. They are still the quickest and cheapest way to temporarily leave your ordinary life and experience passion and excitement.



参考译文

上述图表清晰地揭示了2012年至2015年间中国电影票房和观影人数的数据。如图所示，观影人数在这四年中从4.6亿急剧增长到11亿，而电影票房在同期的数据从165亿元稳步增长到400亿元。

在我看来，主要原因有三个：故事情节、特效和电影明星。首先且最重要的是，从本质上来说，电影是科技对传统故事书的一种解答。每个人都渴望充满激情、刺激和爱的生活。如果在自己的生活中无法经历这些，我们就会尝试通过各种故事去体验。其次，特效是吸引观众的另一个原因。观众在惊讶于这类电影特效的同时，又总想看到更多的特效。最后但同样重要的是，电影如此受欢迎也归因于电影明星。在多数人眼中，电影明星十分迷人，不是长得美，就是有性格。许多人都有自己最喜爱的电影演员，并希望自己的偶像能拍摄更多的电影。

总之，电影之所以如此流行，原因包括故事情节、特效和电影明星三个方面。而且它还是人们暂时脱离日常生活，去体验激情与刺激的最快、最经济的方式。

用人单位认为的大学生就业难的原因

经典范文090

The bar chart above illustrates the various reasons that college students find getting jobs increasingly difficult. From the perspective of employers, lack of practical experience, overly high expectations and financial crisis are in the front ranks, accounting for 57.1%, 42.3% and 36.9% respectively.

For college graduates, the situation of the job market is increasingly grim. To begin with, with social competition becoming keener, college graduates should be well-equipped with practical experience which suits the demands of society. Otherwise, they will find no foothold for themselves. Unfortunately, the majority of the new graduates lack adequate practical ability and operational skills. Meanwhile, another reason lies in graduates’ attitude towards employment. A large number of graduates put earnings above anything else. They aim at well-paid positions in foreign corporations or big banks and have a salary expectation of more than 5,000 RMB per month. Since they won’t accept any job below that standard, many opportunities have been missed. Obviously, if they had realistic expectations of how much they should earn at the beginning of their careers, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to get a job.

With expanded enrollment in universities, seeking a job for graduates will become more and more difficult. Among many solutions, having a correct attitude toward job-seeking is an extremely crucial one.



参考译文

上述柱状图揭示了大学生就业越来越难的各种原因。在用人单位看来，缺乏实践经验、期望值过高和金融危机排在前列，分别占57.1%、42.3%和36.9%。

对大学毕业生而言，就业市场的形势正日益变得严峻。首先，随着现代社会的竞争变得日益激烈，大学毕业生应该掌握更多的实践经验以适应社会的需要，否则他们将无法立足。不幸的是，大多数刚毕业的学生的实际操作能力和专业技能较差。同时，另一个原因与他们对工作的态度有关。很多毕业生把收入放在首位。他们瞄准一些外企或大银行的高薪职位，期望的薪酬超过每月5000元。由于他们不接受任何工资低于这一标准的工作，很多机会都被错失了。显而易见，如果他们对于就业之初的工资有一个合理的期望的话，他们将不难找到工作。

随着高校扩招，大学毕业生的就业将变得越来越困难。在诸多解决方案中，对求职持有一个正确的态度是至关重要的。

2010年第一季度-2011年第二季度中国网页游戏市场规模 单位：亿元

经典范文091

The column chart reveals the market growth of web games in China from the first quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011. During this period of one and a half years, there has been a sudden jump in market size from RMB 520 million to 820 million, a rise of 300 million, at a year-on-year growth rate of more than 50%.

When computers’ entertaining function is highly spoken of, such a problem does deserve our serious concern. First and foremost, the most serious harm of Internet games comes from their contents, which can affect children’s mental fitness. The majority of games involve violence, such as fighting and killing. To win or to kill their opponents, children are permitted to use various means including guns, knives and bombs. When they enjoy the pleasure of success, a violent turn of mind, which may induce future violent behavior in their real lives, is developed and rooted in them. What is more, indulging in Internet games also does harm to children’s physical health. The radiation from the computer can arouse many uncomfortable feelings, like headaches, poor eyesight and even losing hair. Being lack of sleep and always forgetting to have dinner, such children are more inclined to get irritable and suffer from severe malnutrition.
