2011年考研英語作文熱點(diǎn)預(yù)測八

思路點(diǎn)撥

此圖片描述的是一幅交通堵塞的場景。圖片中，車一輛接著一輛地堵在街上，各種抱怨聲不斷。毫無疑問，這幅圖反映的是城市交通 的壓力問題。同時，汽車過多就意味著尾氣排放過多，所以這幅圖同時又反映了環(huán)保和低碳問題。

第一段：描述圖畫；第二段：分析交通堵塞給人和環(huán)境帶來的影響；第三段：建議措施。

思維拓展

建議措施部分，還可以從如下角度提出：

呼吁政府：投資完善基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施、繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持限行的制度。

倡導(dǎo)低碳出行：步行、騎自行車。

倡導(dǎo)理智選擇城市：人全部擁擠在大城市帶來的負(fù)面影響。

高分范文

How horrible the traffic is! The picture depicts a scenario of a terrible traffic jam in the street. In fact, the traffic jam is so heavy that it is more of a parking lot than a crowded street①. Anxious passengers cannot take buses because there are few buses. Instead, the street is filled with too many private cars。

Exaggerated as it is, the phenomenon is not uncommon nowadays. With the number of private cars increasing②, traffic jams in metropolitans are bound to happen. Heavy transportation pressure in large cities may bring much inconvenience to people and exert negative impacts on the environment. On the one hand, when traffic jam happens, short distance in the past now seems to become terribly long, and drivers could do nothing but to wait. Therefore, a lot of precious time has been wasted on the road. On the other hand, exhausted gas emitted by cars③  has increased the burden of environment and caused carbon emission, which has diverted from the concept of living a low carbon life。

Therefore, effective measures should be taken to alleviate the traffic jam. Firstly, taxes levied on the sales of private cars④  should be raised so as to restrict private car ownership rate. Secondly, public transportation such as buses and subways, which are low-carbon transportation means, should be encouraged and promoted so that we can have a smooth transportation。

佳作妙譯

交通狀況真是一團(tuán)糟！這幅漫畫描述了街上糟糕的交通堵塞的場景。實(shí)際上，交通堵塞嚴(yán)重到了一定程度，與其說這是一條擁擠的街 道，還不如說這是一個停車場。焦急的乘客等不到數(shù)量稀少的公交車，而私家車卻到處都是。

雖然這幅圖有點(diǎn)夸張，但是當(dāng)今這種現(xiàn)象并不罕見。私家車的增多必然產(chǎn)生大城市交通堵塞。大城市沉重的交通壓力會給人民生活帶 來不便，也會對環(huán)境造成負(fù)面影響。一方面，一旦發(fā)生堵車，原來很近的路程似乎變得十分漫長，除了等沒有別的辦法，大量的寶貴時間被浪費(fèi)在路上。另一 方面，汽車排放的尾氣更增加了環(huán)境的負(fù)擔(dān)、導(dǎo)致了碳排放，這和低碳生活的理念相違背。

因此，應(yīng)該采取有效措施緩解嚴(yán)重的交通堵塞問題。第一，通過提高稅費(fèi)限制私家車擁有率(保有量)。第二，應(yīng)該鼓勵和推廣低碳的 公交車、地鐵等公共交通工具，以便我們擁有更順暢的交通。

名師點(diǎn)評

① it is more of a parking lot than a crowded street: more of A than B的結(jié)構(gòu)，通過字面可以理解成：更多的是A而不是B。

翻譯的時候，往往翻譯成：與其說是B，不如說是A。

反過來，當(dāng)我們想用英語表達(dá)“與其……不如……”的時候，我們可以采用這個結(jié)構(gòu)。

實(shí)際上，這個結(jié)構(gòu)在歷年真題閱讀中曾多次出現(xiàn)。如2000年Text 3中的選項(xiàng)：Futurist poetry is more of a transient phenomenon than literature。

② With the number of private cars increasing: with 短語表伴隨，翻譯成“隨著”。

③ exhausted gas emitted by cars: 其中emitted by cars是過去分詞短語作后置定語。

相當(dāng)于定語從句：gas which is emitted by cars(被汽車排放的尾氣)。

寫法：請參考《商業(yè)行賄》點(diǎn)評第①條。

④ taxes levied on the sales of private cars: 其中l(wèi)evied on the sales of private cars(針對私家車被征的稅)，為過去分 詞做定語。寫法：請參考《商業(yè)行賄》點(diǎn)評第①條。
