Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Two people can become good friends even if one of them has more money than the other.
參考范文
At present, a popular Chinese entertainment plot is that a poor boy and a rich girl who, after a long time of suffering, eventually become friends. Could this type of fairy-tale story happen in reality? Personally, I do not think it very likely. In other words, I believe that people who possess huge sums of money and people living in poverty find it very hard to be friends, for they have different goals and lifestyles.
Firstly, a different goal in life between the rich and the poor make it nearly impossible for them to be friends. For the poor, the only living goal may be to make a decent life; for the rich, they may be more concerned with how to continue a business or increase profits. Someone from a poor family will often have the same dream as his father: to be able to buy a spacious apartment and a nice car and have a happy family. Those from rich families have interests beyond these basic needs: meeting celebrities or other networking opportunities, increasing social status, or worry about investments and government relationships. Thus the whole focus of life may be completely different.
Secondly, even something as simple as entertainment can be completely different between the wealthy and the poor, affecting their attitude toward life. They take part in different leisure activities when they get free time. After finishing his ordinary working-class job, Tom generally goes back home and stays with his wife and kids. For his family, the happiest thing is to sit together and watch soap operas in front of TV. John, a wealthy man, entertains himself quiet differently after work. Almost every weekend, John goes to the golf course to enjoy the fresh air and indulge himself. Since the ways that they spend their spare time are so different, it means that they have a great distinction of their attitudes toward life. With such a distinction, it seems very ridiculous to expect that people like Tom and John could be friends.
Admittedly, the rich and the poor can meet in some other contexts. For instance, they might attend some of the same colleges and take the same courses, which means they can talk to each other in some occasions. However, such communication alone does not result in a reliable friendship. As we all know, to form a reliable friendship, people have to experience many challenges together. Having different goals and lifestyles makes it difficult to experience the same things.
In conclusion, as the differences in goals and lifestyles are so huge, I believe it is normally impossible for the rich and the poor to become good friends.
參考譯文
目 前，中國娛樂節(jié)目中有一個流行的情節(jié)，就是一個窮小子和一個富家女在經(jīng)歷過長時間的磨難后，最終成了朋友。這種童話般的故事真的會在現(xiàn)實生活中發(fā)生嗎?就 個人而言，我覺得這不太可能。換句話說，我認(rèn)為擁有巨額財產(chǎn)的人和生活貧困的人很難成為朋友，因為他們的目標(biāo)和生活方式都不相同。
首先，窮人和富人在生活目標(biāo)上的差異使得他們幾乎不能成為朋友。對于窮人來 說，他們唯一的生活目標(biāo)也許就是過上像樣的生活;而對于富人而言，他們可能更關(guān)心如何延續(xù)一份事業(yè)或提高收益。出身貧窮家庭的人，其理想往往與他們的父輩 相同：買一套寬敞的公寓、開一輛好車、有一個幸福的家庭。而那些生長于富裕家庭的人，他們的興趣點(diǎn)則要高于這些基本需求：會見知名人士、獲取社交機(jī)會、提 高自己的社會地位，或為商業(yè)投資以及政府關(guān)系所擔(dān)憂。因此，窮人和富人的整個生活重心可能是完全不同的。
其 次，即使像娛樂這樣簡單的事，在窮人和富人之間也可能是完全不同的。這也影響著他們的生活態(tài)度。窮人和富人空閑時通常會參加不同的休閑活動。在完成日常工 作后，湯姆通常都會直接回家，與他的妻子和孩子待在一起。對于他的家庭來說，最開心的事情就是一家人坐在電視機(jī)前看肥皂劇。而富有的約翰在工作之余則會采 用完全不同的娛樂方式。幾乎每個周末，約翰都會去高爾夫球場享受清新的空氣，使自己放松愉悅。他們休閑的方式如此不同，也意味著他們對待生活的態(tài)度有很大 的差異。面對他們之間如此巨大的差異，期望湯姆和約翰能夠成為朋友是非?；闹嚨摹?BR> 誠 然，富人和窮人會在其他一些環(huán)境中接觸。例如，他們可能會進(jìn)入相同的院校，學(xué)習(xí)同樣的課程，這意味著他們可以在某些場合聊天。然而，僅僅這樣的交流并不能 帶來可靠的友誼。眾所周知，為建立可靠的友誼，人們必須共同經(jīng)歷許多挑戰(zhàn)。目標(biāo)不同、生活方式不同，使得 ( 有貧富差異的 ) 人們很難一起經(jīng)歷相同的事情。
總之，鑒于在目標(biāo)和生活方式上的差異如此巨大，我認(rèn)為富人與窮人通常不可能成為好朋友。
范文點(diǎn)撥
文 章開頭段依然是四要素，但在論述過程中，筆者采用的方式比較獨(dú)特，借用中國娛樂節(jié)目中的常見橋段來交代話題背景。對于給定命題，筆者的觀點(diǎn)是否定的，并在 主體段中運(yùn)用經(jīng)典結(jié)構(gòu)，對生活目標(biāo)和娛樂方式這兩大差異進(jìn)行了論證。在讓步段，文章首先承認(rèn)窮人與富人也有溝通的可能性，之后再舉出一個有效的論據(jù)進(jìn)行反 駁，即友誼需要雙方有共同的經(jīng)歷。在末段，筆者用一句話進(jìn)行簡潔的收尾。全文邏輯簡明、例證翔實、語言難度適中， 推薦考生細(xì)致模仿、研讀。
