2010年12月六級(jí)作文經(jīng)典范文:每天只需15分鐘
如果說(shuō)學(xué)英語(yǔ)好比蓋房子,那么詞匯就是那砌房子的磚。雖然那一塊塊的小“磚頭”都很不起眼,但它們卻是整棟房屋的基礎(chǔ),少了它們,房屋是不能成形的。
Fifteen Minutes a Day
If your vocabulary is limited,your chances of success are limited. This discovery has been made in the word laboratories of the world.
That one of the easiest and quickest ways to get ahead is by consciously building up your knowledge of words①. The vocabulary of the average person almost stops growing by the middle twenties. And that from then on it is necessary to have an intelligent plan if progress is to be made. No haphazard hit-or-miss methods will do.
The extent of your vocabulary indicates the degree of your intelligence. Your brain power will increase as you learn to know more words. A command of English will not only improve the processes of your mind. It will give you assurance; build your self-confidence; lend color to your personality; increase your popularity. Your words are your personality. Your vocabulary is you. Your words are all that we, your friends, have to know and judge you by. You have no other medium for telling us your thoughts ― for convincing us, persuading us, giving us orders.
Words are explosive. Phrases are packed with TNT.A simple word can destroy a friendship, land a large order. The proper phrases in the mouths of clerks have quadrupled the sales of a department store.
Words can also change the direction of your life. They have often raised a man from mediocrity to success. If you consciously increase your vocabulary you will unconsciously raise yourself to a more important station in life, and the new and higher position you have won will, in turn, give you a better opportunity for further enriching your vocabulary. It is a beautiful and successful cycle.
Just spare fifteen minutes a day for memorizing words, and I will guarantee, at the end of three month, that your words and your reading and your conversation and your life will all have a new and deeper meaning for you. For words can make you great![330 words]
行文點(diǎn)評(píng)
引出主題,給出觀點(diǎn),說(shuō)理論證。文章第一段引用了一項(xiàng)科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)來(lái)說(shuō)明詞匯量對(duì)成功的重要性,由此引出了文章所要談?wù)摰脑掝}——詞匯。第二段作者提醒大家要有意識(shí)地去擴(kuò)大詞匯量。第三段說(shuō)明對(duì)詞匯的把握程度能反映我們的智力水平。第四、五兩段闡述詞匯的威力。最后一段作者提出建議,照應(yīng)標(biāo)題。
文章的語(yǔ)言頗具特色,賦予“詞匯”新鮮的活力。例如,在第三段中的描寫“Words are explosive. Phrases are packed with TNT.A simple word can destroy a friendship, land a large order.”這樣就使文章顯得十分生動(dòng)形象。
好文妙譯
每天只需15分鐘
如果你的詞匯量不大,你成功的機(jī)會(huì)也就不多。這一發(fā)現(xiàn)是從世界各地的語(yǔ)言實(shí)驗(yàn)室得來(lái)的。
最簡(jiǎn)潔和最迅速的改進(jìn)方法之一就是有意識(shí)地?cái)U(kuò)大你的詞匯知識(shí)。普通人的詞匯量到了二十五、六歲左右就幾乎停止增長(zhǎng)了。從那以后要想繼續(xù)增加詞匯量必須有一個(gè)合理的計(jì)劃。隨意安排的、漫無(wú)目的計(jì)劃是不起作用的。
你對(duì)詞匯的把握程度反映了你的智力水平。當(dāng)你通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)掌握了更多詞匯的時(shí)候,你大腦的思維能力也會(huì)增強(qiáng)。掌握英語(yǔ)不僅可以改進(jìn)你的思維方式,它還給你信心,令你自信,帶給你鮮明的個(gè)性,使你更受歡迎。你的用詞反映了你的個(gè)性。所謂詞如其人。作為你的朋友,我們大家都是從你的言辭中來(lái)了解、評(píng)價(jià)你的。除此以外,你無(wú)法用別的什么方法來(lái)告訴我們你的想法——無(wú)法使我們信服,無(wú)法勸說(shuō)我們,無(wú)法給我們下指令。
詞匯是火藥,詞組則滿載炸藥。詞組中則充斥著火藥。一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單的詞可以摧垮一份友誼,也可以促成一筆大訂單。售貨員言辭得體的話可以使商場(chǎng)的銷售額翻兩番。
詞匯也能改變你生活的方向。它們常常使一個(gè)平庸之輩邁向成功。如果你在有意識(shí)地增加著你的詞匯量,你將在不知不覺(jué)中爬到一個(gè)更顯要的位置上,得到這個(gè)新的、更高的職位以后,反過(guò)來(lái),你又會(huì)有更好的機(jī)會(huì)進(jìn)一步豐富你的詞匯量。這是一個(gè)誘人的、帶給人成功的循環(huán)過(guò)程。
每天抽出15分鐘來(lái)記單詞就行!我可以保證,三個(gè)月后,你的詞匯、你的閱讀能力、你的談話技巧,乃至你的生活都將會(huì)達(dá)到一個(gè)更新和更高的程度。因?yàn)樵~匯能使你卓而不凡!

思如泉涌
Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn. 無(wú)知并不可恥,可恥的是不肯學(xué)習(xí)。
Action is the proper fruit of knowledge. 行動(dòng)是知識(shí)之佳果。
