第一篇 量體裁衣:具體問題具體分析
Directions: Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay in which you should

3) point out its implications in our life.
范文1:
This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on one's desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.
The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a reason.
In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric. A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.
譯文:
這幅畫很可笑,但引人注目。一位身體龐大的顧客在裁縫仔細(xì)地為他量尺寸準(zhǔn)備做衣服時(shí),手里卻拿著一塊小得令人絕望的衣料。這幅畫告訴我們,一個(gè)人在執(zhí)行任務(wù)的過程中必須考慮到實(shí)際情況,僅從主觀意愿出發(fā)而不顧眼前的事實(shí),是不可能成功的。
當(dāng)前大學(xué)生的就業(yè)率使我們意識(shí)到進(jìn)行合理思考的重要性,每年有大約300萬大學(xué)生從學(xué)校畢業(yè),尋找工作,他們中的很多人并沒有找到一份適合自己的工作,有一個(gè)原因是沒有足夠的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)提供給數(shù)量如此龐大的畢業(yè)生。但除此而外,過高的自我估計(jì)也是可能的原因之一。
為了能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)未來目標(biāo),一個(gè)人必須做出合理的決定,并做好相應(yīng)的準(zhǔn)備。比如一個(gè)志在成為外科醫(yī)生的學(xué)生,就必須確保自己有臨床實(shí)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)和足夠的知識(shí),換句話說,顧客在購買衣料前必須先量好準(zhǔn)確的尺寸,一個(gè)大塊頭是無法穿上一小塊布料的.
