電子游戲的本質(zhì)只是一種消譴,一種娛樂。作為學(xué)生,我們的本職工作是學(xué)習(xí),可以體驗(yàn)一下電子游戲的樂趣,卻不能深陷其中而無法自拔。
Step Away From the Video Games
Every afternoon hundreds of thousands of youths flood Internet cafes, switch on a game console, or otherwise sit down to involve themselves in intense fantasy worlds.① I’m talking about video games, games like Counter Strike, Diablo, Smash Brothers or Halo. These games can be fun and exciting, but we need to watch out for when this pastime becomes an addiction.
Games are often incredibly exciting and dramatic, but they generally aren’t very intellectual. We don’t learn as much from them as we would simply reading a book, and spending too much time playing them can take away our study time. We need to remember that we are students first and foremost.② Nothing should ever get in the way of proper studying.③
Video games can also be a bad influence on younger children who may be watching. Many video games are violent and the object in most of them is to kill the other players. This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not acceptable and need to be taught how to handle situations maturely. Even if we do decide ourselves to sit down and play a violent video game, we need to make sure that it is not influencing the younger people around us.④ [221 words]
行文點(diǎn)評
文章以描述現(xiàn)象開始進(jìn)入主題,逐步分析原因得出結(jié)論并提出呼吁。文章開頭作者先提到一個(gè)普遍存在的現(xiàn)象:許多年輕人沉迷于電子游戲。最后一句為過渡句,作者先指出video games非常有趣、刺激,緊接著運(yùn)用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but將話題一轉(zhuǎn),順勢提出作者的觀點(diǎn):我們必須提防不要沉迷于這種消遣。在第二、三兩段中,作者闡明了玩游戲的弊端,每段的首句都是這一段的主題句。第三段結(jié)尾處作者用even if提出妥協(xié)性的呼吁,為短文畫上一個(gè)圓滿的句號。
本文使用了一些精彩的固定搭配,使文章增色不少,例如:第一段中的hundreds of thousands,switch on,take away,first and foremost等等。
好文妙譯
遠(yuǎn)離電子游戲
游戲通常都非常刺激、生動,但通常并不能鍛煉智力。玩游戲并不能像讀書那樣學(xué)到很多知識,況且花太多時(shí)間玩游戲也會占據(jù)我們讀書的時(shí)間。我們必須記住,首先也是最重要的一點(diǎn)是,我們還是學(xué)生。沒有什么應(yīng)該影響我們正常的學(xué)業(yè)。
