1、第一章文章开头句型对 立 法I I现 象 法m观 点 法i v引 用 法V 法 比比较我 v i故事法法VII.对立法文章开头首先引出人们对要讨论的问题的不同看法，然后提出作者自己的不同看法，或偏向的那个看法。对立法的句型多用于有争议性的主题。say1 When asked about.,the vast/overwhelming majority ofmost/many/quite a fewpeoplethinkbelieveanswerother people regard/view/see/think of.as.I think/view quite/a bit differently

2、.that.But1.1 When asked about the biggest problem today,many people say that it is theserious energy crisis.They are afraid that the world will soon run out of oil and runshort of food.But other people hold optimistic views:they regard it as a natural resultof the economic development and believe it

3、 will be only solved with further advancesin economy and technology.当问起世界上现在最大的问题是什么，许多人说是严重的能源危机。他们担心人类不久会用完石油、发生食品短缺！但有些人则持乐观的看法。他们把能源危机看成是经济发展的自然结果，而且只有随着经济和技术的进一步发展才能得以解决。1.2 When asked what kind of career they will pursue upon graduation,mist collegestudents say that they would choose a job whi

4、ch will bring them lot of money and aconformable life.Working in a big bank or company is what they desire.But I thinkquite differently.I would prefer a career which will help realize my potentials.当问起毕业后干什么，大多数大学生说，他们会找一个能给他们带来许多钱和舒适生活的工作。在一家大银行或大的公司里工作是他们所向往的。但是我的想法大不相同。我要选择一个能够发挥我的才能的职业。,think2 W

5、hen It comes to.,some people.believearguethat.Others t.claimthat theoppositereverse-T.，argumentsis true.There Is probably some truth m both,statementsL but.2.1 When it comes to international sport such as the Olympic Games and theWorld Cup soccer game,some people believe that it creates goodwill bet

6、ween thenations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true:that international contests encourage false nationalpride and lead in misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably a little bit of truth inboth arguments,but in recent yea

7、rs the Olympic Games have done little to support theview that sports encourage international brotherhood.当说到国际体育比赛，诸如奥林匹克运动会和世界杯足球赛，有些人认为它能增进国与国之间的友善。如果许多国家在一起比赛交流，他们就会知道怎么一起生活。但另一些人则持相反的观点。他们认为国际体育竞赛只会造成虚假的民族自豪感，导致相互间的误解和仇恨。这两种观点可能都有点道理，但是从最近几年的奥林匹克运动会来看，很少能证明体育运动可以增进国与国之间的友好感情。2.2 In the last deca

8、des,advances in medical technology have made it possible forpeople to live longer than in the past.Yet when it comes to the desirability ofextending the life of the terminally ill,some people,including some doctors,say thatthe quality of life is as important as life itself,and that people should in

9、be forced togo on living when the conditions of life have become unbearable.They argue thatpeople should be allowed to die with dignity and decide when they want to die.However those who are in favor of life-extending measures argue that life under anycircumstances is better than death and that the

10、duty of doctors is always to extend lifeas long as possible.There is probably some truth on both sides,but recently the publicclamor for the legalization of voluntary euthanasia seem increasingly strong.在最近几十年，医学技术的进步使得人类有可能比过去活得长了。但是当论及延长一个无可挽救、濒临死亡的人的生命是否必要时，有些人，包括有些医生认为生命的质量和生命本身同样重要；当病情已变得不堪忍受了，

11、就不应迫使这些人再活下去。他们坚持说应允许一个人尊严地死去，允许他们决定什么时候死。但是赞成采取延长生命的方法的人认为在任何情况下生总比死好；一个医生的责任就是尽可能延长一个人的生命。或许双方都有点道理，但是最近公众要求对自愿安乐死合法化的呼声似乎越来越高。publicgeneraldebatediscussioncontroversyoncriticize3There istodayabouttheproblem of.Those opposeanowadays overissuewhoobjectrU C Ilas toLto contendargue.that.They believet

12、hat .But people whoadvocatefavor，on theother hand,maintain|assert3.1 There is much discussion today about whether fast economic growth isdesirable.Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down.Theybelieve that society is approaching certain limits on growth.These include the fixed

13、supply of natural resources,and the possible negative effects of industry on thenatural environment.People who want more economic growth,on the other hand,argue that even at the present growth rate,there are still many poor people,Theymaintain that only continued growth can create the capital needed

14、 to improve thequality of life and provide the financial resources required to protect our naturalsurroundings from industrialization.现在围绕快速的经济发展是否应该正展开一场热烈的讨论。那些持反对意见者认为我们必须放慢发展速度。他们说发展已接近某种极限！这其中包括有限的自然资源供应和工业对环境造成的消极影响。然而要求更快发展的人则认为，即使按目前的发展速度还是有许多穷人。他们认为经济的持续快速发展才能创造提高生活质量所必需的资本，才能提供用来保护环境不受工业化破

15、坏的资金。3.2 There is a general debate on the campus today over the phenomenon of collegestudents*doing a part-time job.Those who object to it argue that students should notspend their precious time in this way.But people who advocate it,on the other hand,claim that,by taking a major-related part-time j

16、ob or summer job,students can notonly improve their academic studies,but gain much experience,experience they willnever be able to get from the textbooks.关于大学生打工这一现象，校园里正展开一场讨论。反对大学生打工的人指出大学生不应该把宝贵的时间花在这上面。然而赞成者则认为，通过从事一些与专业有关的工作，可以提高学生的学习，还可获得到书本上得不到的许多经验。4 Now,Ilclaimbelievearguecommonlybelievedth

17、oughtheldis generallyacceptedthat.Theywidelyfeltrecognizedacknowledgedwonderdoubtthat .But I4.1 It is commonly believed that the rise in teenage smoking is the inevitable resultof economic development.They argue that if there are no cigarette advertisement onTV,no cigarettes available everywhere,and

18、 no adequate pocket money,teenagers areunlikely to take up the habit of smoking.But I doubt that it is a satisfactoryexplanation.While conceding the effect of advertising and other commercial ftictors,Ithink that the primary cause is social and individual rather than economic.人们普遍认为青少年吸烟人数上升是经济发展不可避

19、免的结果。他们认为：如果电视上没有香烟广告，香烟不是到处可买得到，孩子的零用钱不是很多的话,青少年不太可能染上吸烟的习惯。但我怀疑这是否是一个满意的解释。虽然有广告和其它商业因素的影响，我认为主要原因是社会和个人因素而不是经济上的。4.2 It is widely felt that 由ere is a fear plainly uppermost in the minds of mostpeople today.They are afraid of the future,and if you ask them why,theyconveniently blame the atomic bom

20、b.But I suspect that the nuclear weapon is onlythe scapegoat for our fears.We are not afraid of the future because of a bomb.We areafraid of bombs because we have no faith in the future.I believe people no longerhave faith in our ability to control our own future.人们普遍感到现在大多数人明显地有一种恐惧感。他们怕将来。如果问他们为什么

21、怕，他们会很随意地怪原子弹。但我怀疑，核武器不过是我们害怕的替罪羊。我们怕将来不是因为有了原子弹，说我们怕原子禅，实际上是对未来没有信心。我认为人们对自己是否有能力控制将来已丧失信心了。5To the general publicTo most people.Butdespitein spite offor allI believe.In the popular mindIn most peoples opinionone should.5.1 In the popular mind,it is immediately assumed that when morals are discusse

22、d,it is sexual morals that are meant.The morals of salesmen,doctors,and taxi driversare only moderately interesting to the general public,while the relations between menand women are frequent themes in novels and movies,themes which no amount ofrepetition makes stale.Yet in spite of this immense pre

23、occupation with sex,muchattention should be drawn to the general moral standards.当讨论起道德问题时，大多数人会立即认为是指性道德。一方面售货员、医生和出租车司机的职业道德不大为公众所关心，而另一方面男女间的关系却是小说和电影中经常出现的主题，再怎么不断重复也不会失去其新鲜感。因此尽管人们对性的题目津津乐道，我认为应注意整个道德水平。5.2 To most Chinese parents,college is a place their children should go.And theirchildren,fo

24、r the most part,are also anxious to go.It is in Chinese tradition that thereis something about a college that transfers an ordinary child into a superior adult.Butin spite of this belief,men and women who have been to college suspect that this isnot the case.大多数中国父母看来，大学是他们的子女应该去的地方。而他们的孩子在大多数情况下也渴望

25、上大学。中国的传统观点是大学能把一个普普通通的孩子培养成一个超人一等的人。但是尽管人们有这个观点，凡是读过大学的人却认为情况并非如此。1 3|Now|a lot ofpeople believe that.the majority of thinkmany/most feelBut althoughAdmittedly,there is no/little evidence thatit is questioned/doubted6.1 A lot of people believe that television has a harmful effect on children.A fewy

26、ears ago,the same criticisms were made of the cinema.But although childpsychologists have spent a great deal of time studying this problem,there is not muchevidence that television brings about juvenile delinquency.许多人都认为电视会给孩子带来危害。前几年，对电影也有类似的指责。然而尽管青少年心理学者花了许多时间来研究这个问题，却很少有证据表明电视造成了青少年犯罪。6.2 Most

27、people believe that our society of consumption creates the greatesthappiness for the greatest number.Although this view is widely held,there is littleevidence that Money brings about happiness.Instead,we find our present way of lifeleads to increasing anxiety,helplessness,and,eventually,to the disin

28、tegration of ourculture.I refuse to identify consumption with joy and fun with happiness.许多人认为，我们这个消费社会给绝大多数人带来了最大的幸福。尽管人们普遍这样认为，却很少有证据表明钱能给人带来幸福。相反，我们发现，现在的全活方式使人越来越感到焦虑不安，孤立无援，最终导致我们文化的崩溃。我不认为消费就是快乐，玩乐就是幸福。6.3 There is some feeling nowadays that reading is not as necessary as it once was.Radio and

29、 especially television have taken over many of the functions once served byprint.Admittedly,television serves some of these functions extremely well;the visualcommunication of news events,for example,has enormous impact.The ability ofradio to give us information while we are engaged in doing other t

30、hings-forinstance,driving a car-is remarkable,and a great saving of time.But it may beseriously questioned whether the advent of modern communications media has muchenhanced our intellectual skills.现在有些人觉得，阅读没有像过去那样有必要了。无线电广播，尤其电视已代替了曾经由印刷所起的许多作用。确实，电视极好地发挥了其中的一些功能，如新闻通过图像来传送有很大的影响。无线电广播能使我们边干事，如开车，

31、边收听消息，真是了不起，且可节约许多时间。但是人们或许会认真发问，这些现代传播媒体的出现是否已提高了我们的知识技能。reactionevent7 tophenomenon,some say.But do theyInresponseanswertheideaquestionpeoplethink realize.?7.1 Now most people get their news and information about the things that arehappening at home and abroad from television.They believe the thin

32、gs they hear andsee on television.Probably most of the information is true,and we can believe it.Butshall we always believe the information which television gives us?Do we neversuspect that the given information might be slanted,distorted or the truth totallydenied?现在大多数人都是从电视上知道国内外发生的事和新闻的。他们都相信在电视

33、上看到和听到的事。大多数消息可能是真的，我们能相信。但是我们是否总是要相信电视给我们的消息呢？难道我们从不怀疑所给的消息可能有偏见，或已歪曲了，或真相已被彻底隐瞒了？7.2 In the past few years big business has fallen to a low level in public esteem.Arecent Gallup poll shows that big business came in last,in terms of the quality of theproducts,among all the enterprises which sell ho

34、usehold appliances in Shanghai;atthe top of the list were small business or business from small towns,in response to thepoll,many businessmen argue that this public attitude is due to the inadequacy oftheir advertising and can be cured by stepping up their advertising campaigns.Theyare only fooling

35、themselves.Do they realize that the real problem for their loss ofpublic respect is what they have been doing,not what they have been saying aboutthemselves?在过去几年里，大企业在公众中的信誉已下降到一个低水平。最近的盖洛普民意测验表明，就产品质量来说在上海出售家用电器的所有企业中，大企业位居榜末，而小企业或乡镇企业名列前茅。对此许多大企业人士认为公众的这种态度是由于广告宣传不够造成的，只要加大广告宣传声势，就会扭转局面。这是在自欺欺人。难

36、道他们没有认识到失去公众信誉的真正问题在于他们所做的，而不是所说的？The method/wayIts value/wisdompopularmethodIfairis a widespreadof.,but is it a wiseone?|commonwayr 1卜 easonables now beingquestionedchallengedby more and more people.8.1 Throwing criminals in jail is an ancient and widespread method of punishment,but is it a wise on

37、e?It does seem reasonable to keep wrongdoers in a place where theyfind fewer opportunities to hurt innocent people,and where they might discover thatcrime doesnt pay.The system has long been considered fair and sound by those whowant to see the guilty punished and society protected.Yet the value of

38、this form ofjustice is now being questioned by more and more people.把罪犯丢进监狱是个古老又被广泛采用的惩罚方法。但这个方法是否明智？把做坏事的人关在一个地方，使他们没有机会再损害无辜的人，使他们感到犯罪划不来，似乎确实有道理。这种制度一直被那些希望罪恶得到惩罚，社会得到保护的人视为公平而有效。但是这种司法形式的合理性现在正受到越来越多的人的质疑。8.2 Required class attendance,like an old custom,is so common in in Chinesecolleges and uni

39、versities that many teachers and even students themselves simplyassume it is a good thing.But is it a wise method?It does contribute to the rise in thenumber of students attending class.But is there any proven co-relation betweenattendance and performance in a course?The value of required attendance

40、 is nowbeing questioned by more and more teachers and students.上课点名制，如同一种古老习俗，在中国的大学里非常普遍，许多教师甚至学生自己都认为这种做法是对的。但这种方法是否明智？上课点名确实有助于学生出勤率的上升，但是到教室上课和这个学生在这门课上的学习表现，两者之间是否已证实有联系？上课点名制度的合理性已受到越来越多的教师和学生的怀疑。Butclaim9 These days we often hear about.They argue that.sayCloseexaminationanalysisscrutinydoesnt

41、 bear out therclaim.argument.9.1 These days we often hear about Hthe classless society.They say that all menare equal,and they can enjoy the same educational and job opportunities,and thedistinction between rich and poor has lost.But has it?Close examination doesn*t bearout the claim.近来我们一直听到关于“无阶级社

42、会”的说法。他们称人人平等他们都享受同等的教育机会和工作机会；穷人和富人的界限已经消失。果真如此吗？略细分析一下，就证明这种观点站不住脚。9.2 These days I have heard many exasperated students and working adults alikeexpress a strong desire to take an English course and a computer course.They believethat such knowledge will enhance their job opportunities or promotion

43、 opportunities.But will it?The information I*ve collected over last few years leads me to believe thatthis knowledge may be less useful than most people think.这些日子我听到不少因学习或工作而感到痛苦的学生和工人表示要上英语课或电脑课的强烈愿望。他们认为这些知识会增加他们找工作、晋级的机会。是这样吗？从我最近几年得到的材料来看，我认为这些知识并不像大多数人认为的那么有用。10 We are often,小 these days that.

44、But is this really the case?10.1 We are often told that technological know-how,acquired in exploring space,will be utilized to make life better on earth.Is this really the case?What has the spaceexploration done to relieve the suffering of the earths starving millions?In what wayhas it raised the st

45、andard of living of anyone of us?Man may put human beings on themoon,but there is growing skepticism about his ability to solve human problemscloser to home.我们经常听说在探索空间中获得的技术知识将用来改善我们地球上的人的生活。情况真的如此吗？太空探索对减轻地球上正在挨饿的千百万人的痛苦到底做了什么呢？它从什么方面提高了我们的生活水平呢？人类能够把人自己送上月球，但人们越来越怀疑其解决地球上人自己问题的能力。11.现象法对某种社会现象、倾向

46、或社会问题进行剖析的文章往往在文章一开始首先引出这种现象或问题，然后评论。本节句型就适用于这种开头。rise inphenomenon olproblem ofquestion of11 Recently theL_Jdrawn/aroused public/popular/grave/world-wide attentioncaused/aroused wide/general/considerable/international concernarisen/loomed up/cropped up as controversial/as noteworthy/more distinctly

48、d wish to have scientists tampering withmans inner nature?Indeed,fear of such manipulation may amuse even more anxietythan fear of death.最近，有关把遗传技术用于人类自身而产生的问题的警示已引起了公众的广泛关注。这是可以理解的。核能开发正威胁着全球的生存，其它许多技术进步也正明显地危害生活的质量。在这种情况下，谁还会希望科学家来任意改变人体内部机能呢？确实，害怕对人的操纵所引起的担忧可能会超过对死亡的害怕。11.2 Recently psychologists

49、 have found only about two percent of adults use theircreativity,compared with ten percent of seven-year-old children.When five-year-oldswere tested,the result soared to ninety percent!The findings set off many peoplethinking.Curiosity and originality are daily occurrences for the small child,butsom

50、ehow most of us lose the freedom and flexibility of the child as we grow older.The need to follow directions and do-it-right,plus the many societal constraintswe put on ourselves,prevent us from using our creative potential.最近，心理学家发现在使用自己创造力方面，成人只有2%,而7岁的儿童竟有10%。如果在5岁的儿童中测试，这个数上升到90%。这些发现引起许多人思索。好奇心
