2011年考研英語作文熱點預測五

高分范文

Water used to be mistaken to be an unlimited and renewable resource. Actually, water resource is very limited and precious. It is fortunate that now the public is starting to pay attention①. Just as is depicted in the picture, just like saving money, the lovely and smiling piggy bank is collecting every drop of water falling from the water tap。

However, water shortage is still a serious problem threatening the existence and survival of the whole human being, and yet the phenomenon of wasting water can still easily be found anywhere in our daily life②. For example, water taps are frequently left on by careless users. Someone even assumes that they have the right to waste water because they pay for it so that it has nothing to do with others. In fact, so precious is water that we cannot afford to waste it③. Water resource is indispensable④  not only in our daily life but also in the industry and agriculture. And water is the wealth of the whole mankind, and it is hard to imagine what the world would be like⑤  when there is no more water。

Even though an increasing number of people have become aware of⑥  this emergency, further measures still need to be taken. On the macro level, the whole world should make a joint effort to fight against waste of water. On the micro level, publicizing activities, such as broadcasting wonderful ways on how to save water on TV and other media, should be conducted. To store water means to store happiness and only by saving water can we save a better life for our offspring。

佳作妙譯

水資源一度被誤認為是一種無限的可再生資源，實際上，水資源是非常有限且寶貴的。有幸的是現在公眾開始關注這一問題了。如圖 所示，一只可愛的快樂小豬存錢罐積攢著水龍頭里流出的每一滴水，就像存錢一樣。

然而，水資源短缺問題仍然威脅著全人類的生存和發展。浪費水的現象在日常生活中仍然隨處可見。例如，經常有粗心大意者忘記關 水龍頭。更有甚者認為自己繳了水費就有權浪費，與他人無關。事實上，水資源不僅在生活中必不可少，在工農業生產中也是不可或缺的。水資源是全人類共 同的財富，很難想象當沒有水的時候世界會是什么樣子。

雖然越來越多的人已經認識到了這種緊迫性，但是仍然要采取進一步的措施。從宏觀層面上講，全世界應該共同努力反對浪費水。從 微觀層面上講，要進行廣泛的宣傳活動。比如在電視臺播出關于如何節水的節目。節約用水就是存儲幸福，只有節約用水才能為子孫后代存儲更好的生活。

名師點評

① It is fortunate that now the public is starting to pay attention: 來自于2005年閱讀真題，原句是這樣的： Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention。

歷年真題是一座巨大的寶庫，廣大考生一定要學會充分利用這寶貴的資源！

② 第二段開頭，用了一個轉折詞，也就是“起承轉合”中的所謂的“轉”，把這篇作文改造成了一篇社會問 題型作文，也就是大家最擅長寫的作文。

③ In fact, so precious is water that we cannot afford to waste it: 倒裝句，表語提前，句子倒裝。

倒裝句寫法：

第一步：寫正常原句：Water is so precious that we cannot afford to waste it。

第二步：表語precious提前。

第三步：主謂倒置，變成So precious is water that we cannot afford to waste it。

普通的so… that… 句型，也能被化腐朽為神奇，成為鉆石加分句型！

④ indispensable: 不可或缺的，替換important的一個很好的詞匯。

順便講一個英譯漢的技巧：大家可以看到，在譯文中，這句話被翻譯兩次：必不可少、不可或缺。

因為原文中出現了：not only… but also，所以這個單詞被拆開翻譯成了兩個近義詞，以使行文更加通順。

⑤ what the world would be like：注意賓語從句必須用陳述語序。

⑥ become aware of: 意識到。意思和用法都等同于be conscious of。后邊接詞語。

⑦ 非常重要：一般而言，歷年真題中談到的正面話題，或者人生哲理類的文章，有可能題目要求會變成：

Directions:

Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should

(1) describe the drawing briefly,

(2) explain its intended meaning, and then

(3) support your view with an example/examples。

也就是第三段并非發表個人評論(建議措施)，而是舉例，這時候就需要我們去調整一下文章的敘述方法。

這種情況下，我們可以把結尾段調整為：

Examples of people’s increasing awareness on saving water can easily be found anywhere in our life. On the macro level, the whole world is making a joint effort to fight against waste of water. On the micro level, publicizing activities, such as broadcasting wonderful ways on how to save water on TV and other media, can be seen nearly anywhere and every day. In short, to store water means to store happiness and only by saving water can we save a better life for our offspring。

這樣的話，結尾段就從建議措施，變成了論證文章的示例。

可見，隨機應變，對寫好考研作文也很重要。
