反對(duì)
1.減少化石能源的使用量與當(dāng)前社會(huì)能源需求增加的趨勢(shì)(energy demandsare increasing in current society)不符(goes against)。這就意味著減少化石能源的使用將會(huì)破壞現(xiàn)目前平衡的社會(huì)秩序(maintain awell-balanced social order)。

It is important that towns and cities are attractive so money should spendon works of art (like paintings and statues) in public places. To what extentdo you agree or disagree? 政府是否應(yīng)投資藝術(shù)來(lái)提升城市吸引力?
思路提點(diǎn)
同意
把錢(qián)花在藝術(shù)作品上是有一定的合理性的,它對(duì)于加強(qiáng)人文素養(yǎng)、提升一個(gè)地區(qū)展品的層次是非常有益的。Spending moneyon works of art in public places has its own rationality, which is conducive toadding a humanistic flavor and improving the display of a region.
不同意

Research shows that overeating can be just as harmful as smoking. Thus theadvertising of certain food products should be banned, as cigar is banned inmany countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 研究表明進(jìn)食過(guò)量和吸煙一樣有害,所以部分食物的廣告應(yīng)該被禁止。你是否同意這個(gè)看法?
思路提點(diǎn)
應(yīng)該禁止廣告
一些常見(jiàn)的視頻廣告的視頻都是不健康的,比如肯德基和麥當(dāng)勞。經(jīng)??吹竭@樣的廣告的人們更有可能會(huì)吃比實(shí)際需要的食物,尤其是沒(méi)有自制能力的小孩 (children whodo not have self-restraint)
不應(yīng)該禁止廣告
但是僅僅是禁止某些廣告并不會(huì)完全杜絕過(guò)度飲食 (overeating)。本地的快餐店和超市也要為這個(gè)不健康的飲食習(xí)慣負(fù)責(zé)。本地的市場(chǎng)很難買(mǎi)到新鮮水果和蔬菜,也使得人們會(huì)吃更多的垃圾食品和熟食 (processedfood),因?yàn)樗麄兏臃奖恪?BR> 詞匯補(bǔ)充

Some people say that professional workers such as doctors,nurses and teachers make greater contribution. So they should be paid more thanthose sport and entertainment persons. To what extent do you agree or disagree?一些人認(rèn)為專(zhuān)業(yè)人士比如醫(yī)生護(hù)士和老師對(duì)社會(huì)貢獻(xiàn)大,收入應(yīng)該比體育娛樂(lè)明星多,是否同意?
思路提點(diǎn)
不合理
運(yùn)動(dòng)員和明星具有高額的收入(sportsprofessionals, film stars, pop musicians are paid huge salaries),相比之下,教師、護(hù)士及研究人員收入平平(teachers,nurses, laboratory researchers are never listed among the best-paidprofessionals),甚至是科學(xué)家(researchscientists)和政治家(leadingpoliticians)都無(wú)法企及,因此很多人覺(jué)得他們賺錢(qián)容易(earntheir fortunes so quickly)。他們與默默無(wú)私奉獻(xiàn)的其它職業(yè)之間的收入的差異是不合理的(Thegaps between their earnings and those of people who work less selfishly for thegood of society cannot be justified)。很多位社會(huì)做貢獻(xiàn)的職業(yè)也應(yīng)該(be much better appreciated andbetter paid)。
合理
高收入反映的是體育的一種公眾流行程度(publicpopularity)。擁有真正天賦的職業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員數(shù)量極少(thenumber of professionals with real talent is very few),薪酬體現(xiàn)了對(duì)于為成功而必須擁有的技能和貢獻(xiàn)的認(rèn)可(themoney is a recognition of the skills and dedication)。相對(duì)短暫的職業(yè)生涯里(in theirrelatively short career),職業(yè)巔峰期短暫(don’thold their top positions long),很快就會(huì)被人取代(bereplaced)。競(jìng)爭(zhēng)無(wú)處不在(Competitionis constant)來(lái)自媒體的壓力很大(Thepressure from the media is intense),幾乎無(wú)隱私可言(there is little privacy out of thespotlight)。

Some people say that professional workers such as doctors,nurses and teachers make greater contribution. So they should be paid more thanthose sport and entertainment persons. To what extent do you agree or disagree?一些人認(rèn)為專(zhuān)業(yè)人士比如醫(yī)生護(hù)士和老師對(duì)社會(huì)貢獻(xiàn)大,收入應(yīng)該比體育娛樂(lè)明星多,是否同意?
思路提點(diǎn)
不合理
運(yùn)動(dòng)員和明星具有高額的收入(sportsprofessionals, film stars, pop musicians are paid huge salaries),相比之下,教師、護(hù)士及研究人員收入平平(teachers,nurses, laboratory researchers are never listed among the best-paidprofessionals),甚至是科學(xué)家(researchscientists)和政治家(leadingpoliticians)都無(wú)法企及,因此很多人覺(jué)得他們賺錢(qián)容易(earntheir fortunes so quickly)。他們與默默無(wú)私奉獻(xiàn)的其它職業(yè)之間的收入的差異是不合理的(Thegaps between their earnings and those of people who work less selfishly for thegood of society cannot be justified)。很多位社會(huì)做貢獻(xiàn)的職業(yè)也應(yīng)該(be much better appreciated andbetter paid)。
合理
高收入反映的是體育的一種公眾流行程度(publicpopularity)。擁有真正天賦的職業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員數(shù)量極少(thenumber of professionals with real talent is very few),薪酬體現(xiàn)了對(duì)于為成功而必須擁有的技能和貢獻(xiàn)的認(rèn)可(themoney is a recognition of the skills and dedication)。相對(duì)短暫的職業(yè)生涯里(in theirrelatively short career),職業(yè)巔峰期短暫(don’thold their top positions long),很快就會(huì)被人取代(bereplaced)。競(jìng)爭(zhēng)無(wú)處不在(Competitionis constant)來(lái)自媒體的壓力很大(Thepressure from the media is intense),幾乎無(wú)隱私可言(there is little privacy out of thespotlight)。
