2. 校园生活

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “the advantages and disadvantages of recreational activities”.

点评：拓展至介绍一个让人难忘的事/课程/社团等。

参考范文：

It has been widely noted that recreational activities are of utmost importance in our normal life. We can experience a great many recreational activities on campus. For example, as a member of the school’s tennis club, I enjoy playing tennis with my friends after school.

There are several aspects concerning recreational activities. On the one hand, college life tends to be very stressful, but recreational activities can relax our mind and release our pressure. A student can also widen his circle of friends through them. On the other, there are potential drawbacks. Excessive recreational activities may interfere with our studies. Therefore, students cannot concentrate on their learning and may even fail in the exams.

In conclusion, the recreational activity is just like a double-edged sword. We might bear in mind that it can exert both positive and negative influences on our life. However, we can avoid those undesirable effects, when making full use of it.

中文翻译：

娱乐活动在我们的日常生活中非常重要。我们可以在校园里体验许多娱乐活动。比如，作为一名学校网球俱乐部的成员，我享受着课余与朋友打网球的快乐。

关于娱乐活动的话题，我想谈谈以下几个方面。一方面，大学生活压力很大。娱乐活动可以让我们放松心情，释放压力。同时通过这些活动，学生们还能扩大自己的朋友圈。另一方面，娱乐活动也存在着潜在缺陷。过度娱乐会妨碍学习。因此，学生无法集中精力学习，甚至在考试中挂科。

总结起来，娱乐活动就像一把双刃剑。我们应该牢记，它对于我们的生活既会产生积极又会产生消极的影响。然而，我们应该避免那些消息效应，而充分利用其积极的一面。

3. 工作就业

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to comment on “Which matters more in finding a job, work experience or learning ability?”.

参考范文：

At present, it is generally accepted that many companies do not trust new graduates, who may have great knowledge but very little experience. Therefore, one cannot help wondering whether companies should lay their emphasis on experience when recruiting college graduates.

From my perspective, companies’ focus on experience is short-sighted, and individual ability plays a more important role. To begin with, knowledge and ability are crucial for a company’s survival. If a company wants to flourish, it needs new talents who can provide novel insights. Learning experience enables one to fit into the evolving society. In the long run, the new recruits can definitely bring companies much revenue. Moreover, experienced employees can produce immediate profits, but they also have potential risks. They are more likely to do job-hopping or become outdated in their ideas and concepts.

In conclusion, companies should not only emphasize on experience and should give opportunities to college graduates so that they can reap long-term profits.

中文翻译：

目前，人们普遍认为许多公司不相信应届毕业生，他们可能有很多知识但缺乏经验。因此，人们不禁想知道公司在招聘大学毕业生时是否应该注重经验。

在我看来，企业注重经验是一种短视，个人能力更为重要。首先，知识和能力对一个公司的生存至关重要。如果一家公司想要蓬勃发展，它需要能够提供新颖见解的人才。学习能力能让人快速适应这个不断变化的世界。从长远来看，这些新员工肯定能给公司带来很多收入。此外，有经验的员工可以产生即时的利润，但他们也有潜在的风险。他们更有可能跳槽，或者在思想和观念上变得过时。

总之，公司不应该只强调经验，应该给大学毕业生机会，这样他们可以获得长期的利润。

六级备考全家桶：

1. 应对内卷

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to comment on “how to deal with the fierce competition in society”

参考范文：

In modern society with accelerated population growth, competition is almost everywhere whether you are in the job market or take a public exam. The past several years have witnessed a sharp increase in the number of college students who seek to find a decent job; however, job positions are few and opportunities should be earned with hard work.

Two fundamental approaches can be taken to address this problem. First, one should set his own goals. To deal with competition in a healthy way, it is important to set goals that work for you, and to stick to them no matter what happens to other people. For example, when all of your friends are running for different jobs, you should find one that best suits your own advantages. Second, one should always keep optimistic. No matter how hard you work, you cannot expect to always win every game, get the highest grade, or excel at work. Dealing with competition means developing a healthy attitude toward both winning and losing.

To sum up, keeping a good attitude and following your own interest are two possible ways to tackle the fierce competition which is now prevalent in modern society. The time is right for us to take advantage of ample existing opportunities to meet tomorrow with optimism and independence.

中文翻译：

在人口加速增长的现代社会，竞争几乎无处不在，无论你是在就业市场还是参加公共考试。在过去几年里，寻求体面工作的大学生人数急剧增加；然而，工作岗位很少，机会应该通过努力工作来获得。

可以采取两种基本方法来解决这个问题。首先，我们应该设定自己的目标。要以健康的方式应对竞争，重要的是设定对你有用的目标，并且无论别人发生什么事都要坚持。例如，当你所有的朋友都在竞争不同的工作时，你应该找到最适合自己优势的工作。第二，人们应该始终保持乐观。无论你多么努力，你都不能期望总是赢得每一场比赛，获得最高分数，或在工作中表现出色。应对竞争意味着培养一种健康的输赢态度。

总之，保持良好的态度和关注自己的利益是应对当今社会激烈竞争的两种可能方式。现在正是我们利用现有的大量机会，以乐观和独立的态度迎接明天的时刻。

2. 教育作用

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “the importance of education”.

点评：本文的很多句子对于教育/学习类文章通用。

参考范文：

In modern society where economy is developing at a tremendous rate, higher education has attracted extensive attention from the general public. The hunger for higher education is understandable: these days it is a requirement for a decent job and an entry ticket to the middle class.

Many complicated factors are involved in understanding the importance of education. To begin with, higher education plays a key role in aiding students’ growth and development, so they can get the opportunity to increase their knowledge and learn to be independent. It is common to say that higher education opens up a great number of job opportunities for college graduates. Moreover, one objective of education is to help students develop new perspectives and strong spirits. Indeed, education can cultivate and elevate people’s mind, empowering us with confidence, courage and other virtues.

To sum up, education is a worthwhile investment. Immediate ways for popularizing higher education remain elusive. However, public recognition of the necessity will represent the first step in finding effective measures.

中文翻译：

在经济高速发展的现代社会，高等教育的作用吸引了普遍公众的广发关注。对于学位的渴望可以理解：如今学位是获得一份好工作的要求，进入中产阶级的入场券。

在理解教育的重要性上，存在有许多因素。首先，高等教育在帮助学生成长和发展中扮演着关键角色。他们可以有机会增加自己的学识并学会独立。不可否认，高等教育为人们创造了大量工作机会。其次，教育的一个目标是帮助学生开拓新的视角、培养强大的精神。实际上，教育可以培养并提高人们的大脑，给我们以信心，勇气和其他品质。

总而言之，教育是一笔值得的投资。对于推动教育的快速方法仍然很难找到，然而公众意识到其必要性代表了寻找有效方法的第一步。

3. 精神品质（名言类）

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to comment on the saying “What is needed is persistence, not waiting”.

参考范文：

There is an old saying going like this, “What is needed is persistence, not waiting.” Even though it is the experience of our forefathers, this saying can be used in many cases even today. Obviously, it implies that persistence is of utmost importance in our life.

There are two fundamental factors contributing to the importance of this spirit. To begin with, persistence is truly the fundamental attribute of top performers, which separates the high achievers from the rest of the pack. For example, Chinese academician Yuan Longping honored for his success in developing the first hybrid rice strain was always remembered for his spirit of persistence, which shines through every page of his life. Furthermore, persistence could be regarded as a traditional Chinese virtue that has been handed down from generation to generation. We students should never give up our dreams in face of hardship.

To sum up, one should seek to develop the spirit of persistence in today’s society. The time is right for us to take full advantage of ample existing opportunities. We do in fact have a long time to go to reach our final goals, but achieving some is well within the realm of possibility.

中文翻译：

有句老话是这样说的：“我们需要的是坚持，而不是等待。”尽管这是我们祖先的经验，但这句话甚至在今天也可以在许多情况下使用。显然，这意味着坚持在我们的生活中至关重要。

有两个基本因素导致了这种精神的重要性。举例来说，中国水稻之父袁隆平，培养出第一个杂交水稻品种，为人所景仰，也由于其坚持被人所铭记，这种精神闪耀在他生活的每一篇章。其次，坚持可以被看成是传统中国美德，代代传承。我们学生在面对困难时，应该永不放弃自己的梦想。

总而言之，在当今社会，我们应该努力培养坚持不懈的精神。现在是我们充分利用现有大量机会的时候了。事实上，我们还有很长的时间去实现我们的最终目标，但实现一些目标是完全有可能的。

亮点句：

1. Persistence is truly the fundamental attribute of top performers, which separates the high achievers from the rest of the pack.

坚持确实是表现突出的人所具有的基本属性，其将高成就者和剩下的人区分开来。

2. Persistence could be regarded as a traditional Chinese virtue that has been handed down from generation to generation.

坚韧不拔可以被看成是传统中国美德，代代传承。

必备单词：

独立：independence（adj. independent）;

坚持：persistence（adj. persistent）;

勤奋：diligence（adj. diligent）;

信心：confidence（adj. confident）;

合作：cooperation (=teamwork =collaboration);

乐观：optimism (adj. optimistic)

节约：thrift（=saving ...）

六级翻译练习：

秋分（autumnal equinox）是表征季节变化的节气。在这天，太阳几乎直射赤道，昼夜几乎等长。这时，四川盆地气温普遍降至22℃以下，进入了凉爽的秋季，“一场秋雨一场寒”。一股股南下的冷空气，与逐渐衰减的暖湿空气相遇，产生一次次降雨，气温也一次次下降。秋分曾是传统的“祭月节”。秋分各地方的秋分习俗也各具特色。在我国民间有秋分吃秋菜的习俗。

The autumnal equinox is a symbol of seasonal changes. On the day, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the day is as long as the night. At this time, the temperature in Sichuan basin generally drops below 22 ℃, and the region enters a cool autumn. "It is getting cold in the autumn rain". The cold air moving southward meets the gradually decaying warm and humid air, and the rain and temperature drop again and again. The autumnal equinox was a traditional "festival of sacrifice". The customs of the day in different areas also differ in their own characteristics. In our country, there is a custom of eating autumn vegetables on the autumnal equinox.

2022年四级写译（部分）

作文：

Directions: Suppose you are writing a proposal to your school library/school clinic about improving its services. You are writing about its current problems and solutions.

翻译：

第一套：

从前有个农夫嫌他种的禾苗长得慢，就到地里把禾苗一株株地拔高了一点。回家后他对家人说:“今天可真把我累坏了!但我总算让禾苗一下子长高了。”儿子到地里去一看，禾苗都已经死光了。

现在有些家长急于让孩子成功，往往步那个农夫的后尘，搞得孩子苦不堪言，却不见孩子学业长进。这样的家长是否该对这个问题有所醒悟，让孩子自然成长呢?

第二套：

从前，有个农夫正在地里耕作，突然看见一只兔子飞奔而过，撞在一棵大树上死了。农夫毫不费力就吃到了兔肉，心里非常高兴。他想，“如果总是这样该多好啊!”于是，不再耕作，每天守候在那棵树旁，等待着能再捡到撞死在树上的兔子。他等呀等，等了一天又一天，田地也荒芜了，却再也没有等到第二只兔子。人们因而都嘲笑他把偶然当成必然。

第三套：

从前有个人养了一群羊，一天早上他准备出去放羊，发现少了一只。他仔细一看，看到羊栏(sheepfold)上有个窟窿。显然，夜间有狼钻进羊圈叼走了羊。邻居劝他修羊栏，可是他不听。第二天他发现狼又通过窟窿叼走一只羊。他想起邻居的话，就赶快堵上窟窿，把羊栏补好。此后，他的羊再也没有被狼叼走。

故事告诉我们：出了问题及时补救，可以防止蒙受更大损失。
