審題思路

本題是一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)選擇型的題目，就目前大學(xué)生在畢業(yè)后選擇 留學(xué)的利弊孰大孰小進(jìn)行分析。題目可以從以下幾個(gè)方面入手：

思路1：利大于弊

雖然有困難 ，但整體上利大于弊，利體現(xiàn)在 ：1. 教學(xué)軟件硬件優(yōu)異 ；2. 有利于將來就業(yè)等。

思路2 ：弊大于利

雖然有好處 ，但整體上弊大于利 ，弊體現(xiàn)在 ：1. 費(fèi)用昂貴 ；2. 文化差異 ，難以融入其中等。

思路3 ：應(yīng)具體問題具體分析 ，因人而異

留學(xué)有益 ，體現(xiàn)參考思路1；

留學(xué)也有弊端 ，體現(xiàn)參考思路2 ；

是否選擇留學(xué) ，應(yīng)根據(jù)個(gè)人情況而定 。

Studying Abroad: Hardships and Rewards

There is no denying the fact that studying abroad is a hotly debated2 topic today. As far as I’m， concerned, I believe hardships and rewards coexist and people have to consider it from all sides.

引言部分：作者先提出留學(xué)是個(gè)熱門話題 ，然后說明留學(xué)有利有弊應(yīng)全面綜合來考慮 。這表明下文將既講利又講弊。

Obviously, studying abroad has a number of rewards . In the ?rst place, a student can have access to advanced science and technology as well as desirable working conditions which mightnot be available at home. In the second place, he can be exposed to entirely new ideas and trends. Last but not least, by living and studying in a foreign country, one can improve his foreign language much faster than at home.

Nevertheless, as every coin has two sides, studying abroad also confronts one with a series of hardships. For one thing, learning a foreign language is far from an easy thing at the beginning for most people. For another, a completely new environment with different customs and habits may?? also be a barrier to overseas students, especially to the young. An added difficulty lies with ?nance: it can cost a lot to study abroad.

主體部分：作者先說有幾個(gè)顯而易見的益處是列舉觀點(diǎn)時(shí)常用的句式。然后用“In the first place, ... In the second place, ... Last but not least” 。nevertheless進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)折，說明留學(xué)會(huì)讓人遇到很多困難。這時(shí)列舉所用的句式換為“for one thing ... for another...”使文章更富有變化。

Therefore, studying abroad should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with10 both bene? ts and troubles. The best policy11, as I see it, is to take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding. Personally, I’d choose to go abroad and study if I ?nd it necessary.

總結(jié)部分 ：作者概述上面所列利弊，用“a two-edged sword”來概括再恰 當(dāng)不過，并提出選擇出國留學(xué)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)應(yīng)該是“take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding”。

亮點(diǎn)回放

1. there is no denying that:“無可否認(rèn)” ；還可以用undoubtedly ，without doubt等更為簡潔的表達(dá)方式 。

2. hotly debated: “被激烈討論的” ；相當(dāng)于“heavily/frequently discussed” ，但比之要g更地道些 。

3. rewards: “獎(jiǎng)賞、報(bào)酬 、報(bào)答” ；此處表示“回報(bào)”，近義詞為“returns”。

4. have access to: “能獲得”，access的形容詞accessible也經(jīng)常使用在be accessible to的詞組中，注意與之區(qū)別 。

ble:“令人滿意的，稱心如意的”，另外它的反義詞undesirable表示????????????????????????????? “不盡如人意的”。

6. be exposed to: “暴露在……之下”，此處還可以用 “be faced with ，be confronted with”等。

7. confront sb. with sth.: “使某人遭遇到? （某事 ）” ，此處注意與be exposed to的區(qū)別 ，前者不以人為主語 ，用主動(dòng)語態(tài) ；后者以人為主語 ，用被動(dòng)語態(tài) 。

8. far from: “遠(yuǎn)離” ，此處表示? “遠(yuǎn)非” ，相當(dāng)于never ，但語氣委婉些 。

9. barrier:“障礙” ，近義詞還有? “obstacle ，block ，hardship ，setback”等 。

10. present sb. with sth.: “給某人帶來某物” ，也可以用? “provide sb. with sth.” ，但present 顯得更正式些 。

11. policy : “政策 、方針 、保險(xiǎn)單” ，此處 “the best policy ”表示“最好的辦法” ，用法地道 。
