范文賞析

Getting Married in College

Since 2005 the ban was lifted by the Department of Education on college students’ getting married, it has been a hot topic for students, parents and educators and their attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view and others think differently. In my view, I believe they’d better not get married for the following reasons.

引言部分:作者提出熱議話題:在校大學(xué)生現(xiàn)在允許結(jié)婚了,并提出自己的觀點(diǎn):他們最好不要結(jié)婚 ,用following reasons 引出下文。

First and foremost, though mostly adults, college students are actually immature psychologically . Their wishes to get married are, more often than not , impulses. I admit that it is a basic right for those who have reached the appropriate ages to get married marriage is more solemn and requires more than just reaching the age. In addition, the university or college is a place to study instead of a community to lead a family life. Allowing college students to get married would adversely affect their study. For instance, they would spend too much time attending to their family and love, thus unable to concentrate on their school work. Besides, as tudents, they are not ready to support a family ?nancially.

主體部分:作者從幾個(gè)方面述了反對(duì)的理由,而且在說明自己的觀點(diǎn)的同時(shí)也提及了支持者的觀點(diǎn)。這種對(duì)比可以更加凸顯這一話題的爭議性,同時(shí)更體現(xiàn)了作者做出這樣選擇的慎重性 。

Weighing the arguments of both sides, I would still say “no” to getting married in college, though it’s their legal right.

總結(jié)部分:作者經(jīng)過衡量,選擇持反對(duì)觀點(diǎn)。這里使用的 weighing the arguments of both sides 呼應(yīng)了前段第一條理由提及的“人權(quán)”或 “法定婚齡”,使結(jié)論顯得更客觀。

亮點(diǎn)回放

1.? ban :? “禁止、禁令 ” ,可以做名詞和動(dòng)詞 ,此處為名詞,注意與之搭配的介詞為on , 表示“對(duì) ……的禁令”。

2.? lift: 一般表示“舉起 、抬起” ,此處表示“解除(封鎖 、禁令等 )”。

3.? hot topic: “熱議話題” ;此處topic可以用issue替代 ,不過topic更普遍隨意些 。

4.? hold: “持有(觀點(diǎn) )” ;此處hold the positive/negative view也可以寫成be for/against sth. ,表示? “持同意或反對(duì)意見”。近義詞為think, maintain, claim, believe, consider ,都可以引導(dǎo)表示觀點(diǎn)的從句 。

5.? immature psychologically: “心理上不成熟”。

6. ?more often than not: “往往 、多半” ,常用作插入語 。

7. ?a severe violation ?of: “對(duì) ……的嚴(yán)重違背” ;此處也可以用動(dòng)詞形式severely/seriously violate ,不過用名詞形式更為正式 。

8. ?solemn: ?“莊嚴(yán),嚴(yán)肅” ;比serious更貼切 。

9. ?adversely affect: “對(duì) ……產(chǎn)生不利的影響” ;adversely表示“不利地 、逆 向地” ,比較正式,另外它的名詞形式adversity(逆境 )也是常用到的。

10. attend to: “專注于、照料” ;注意此處的to為介詞,后面接名詞或動(dòng)名詞 。此處也可以用更常見的take care of來替代 。

11. weigh : “稱重、衡量”;此處表示“衡量”, “weighing the arguments of both ?sides, I believe/think...”常用來引出自己觀點(diǎn) ,同學(xué)們可以借鑒 。

12. say ?“no”to: “對(duì) ……說不” ,表示反對(duì)意見 ,近義詞為oppose/disagree with/disapprove of等,反義詞為say“yes”to ,此處to為介詞 ,后面接名詞或動(dòng)名詞 。
