s. 另一方: Arguments for capital punishment: 如果死刑犯沒(méi)有受到最為嚴(yán)厲的懲罰,那么這對(duì)受害者是不公平的。 If capital punishment is ever to be done away with, the potential wrongdoers wouldn’t be deterredfrom mitting staggeringly serious offenses among which serial murder proves particularly appalling. 二、罪犯是否應(yīng)該被送進(jìn)監(jiān)獄? Should criminals be sent to prisons or receive job training and education instead? 類似的題目之前曾經(jīng)考過(guò),而在 08 年的 1 月 12 日再次出現(xiàn)。其實(shí)不然,這里的教育或就業(yè)培訓(xùn)并不代表說(shuō)把囚犯與普通的學(xué)生或接受培訓(xùn)者一樣等同的對(duì)待,而是一樣的要限制他們的自由,只不過(guò)說(shuō)不像在監(jiān)獄里整天關(guān)在牢房里無(wú)所事事,而是要接受教育和培訓(xùn)。 一方: Arguments for prison:來(lái)源:考試大 4 監(jiān)獄同教育或就業(yè)培訓(xùn)相比有很強(qiáng)的阻嚇作用,這樣可以有效的抑制犯罪率的上升。 Being locked up behind the bars is a punitive measure imposed on criminals who are highly unlikely to turn into a recidivist in consideration of their fear of setting foot into jailsever again. 另一方: Arguments for education and job retraining 罪犯在 監(jiān)獄里所被包圍的是一群囚犯,這對(duì)罪犯的改造不是好的,反而是不好的影響。 “Captivity of negativity” is a terminology intended to describe the destructive, rather than constructive impact on criminals who are locked up in prison, surrounded by people who probably have mitted even more serious charges. Education serves to correct any misconception or eliminate twistedthoughts they have by immersing them in a positive environment. 大多數(shù)罪犯往往是沒(méi)有什么文化知識(shí)和生存技能,出獄后通常很難找到工作。 A significant proportion of criminals are sadly illiterate without adequate fundamental knowledge and survival skills and it wouldn’t be easy for them to find a decent job after being released from the jail. With convenient access to education and job retraining, they are able to survive by themselves, greatly reducing the chance of being a recidivistin times when they are financially challenged. 三、個(gè)人選擇與法制社會(huì)的沖突 Should individual choices interfere with the society that is based on rules and laws 這是 08 年 10 月 11 號(hào)的考題,這道題目主要討論的核心是一種矛盾。當(dāng)這種矛盾發(fā)生時(shí),應(yīng)該將哪一個(gè)放在首位?為什么?這次考試結(jié)束后,我曾經(jīng)與幾個(gè)參與考試的學(xué)生討論過(guò),很多學(xué)生的反映就是這個(gè)題目其實(shí)并不 5 難,但就是不知道如何下手。其實(shí),這個(gè)題目最為關(guān)鍵的是兩點(diǎn):如何去法律的范圍還有就是要找到一個(gè)合適法律與個(gè)人選擇發(fā)生沖突的這么一個(gè)結(jié)合點(diǎn)。一個(gè)有利于個(gè)人的問(wèn)題如果給其他人造成了無(wú)謂的傷害,則是不應(yīng)該允許的。這樣做的原因就是正版( authentic copy)相對(duì)中國(guó)消費(fèi)者來(lái)說(shuō)太貴。 反過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō),我們不 可否認(rèn)個(gè)別特別情況下法律也應(yīng)該給正當(dāng)?shù)膫€(gè)人選擇讓步 On the other hand, rules and laws should give in to personal choices in some special cases. 比如說(shuō),開(kāi)車送心臟病突然發(fā)作的人趕往醫(yī)院。但是這樣一種行為我認(rèn)為應(yīng)該被理解( tolerated) . 這是出于法律之外的,但是又合乎情理的。所以,無(wú)論是法律還是個(gè)人選擇,最終都是從應(yīng)該是整體的利益出發(fā) . 以上就是我對(duì)三個(gè)比較典型的法律犯罪類的題目的講解,希望能夠?qū)Ω魑焕蠋焸冊(cè)谝院蟮姆缸锓深愵}目的講解中有所幫助,也希望能夠幫助到在緊張備考雅思的考生們。 The graph and table illustrate respectively information about worldwide water use by sector over a span of 100 years from 1900 to 2020 and water consumption in Brazil and Congo in 2020. 從曲線圖看出,一個(gè)世紀(jì)中,全 球三個(gè)領(lǐng)域,即:農(nóng)業(yè)、工業(yè),以及民用水方面的用水量可以明顯分為兩種趨勢(shì):緩慢上升和快速上揚(yáng)。 As can be seen from the graph, global water use in three different sectors, namely, agriculture, industry and household clearly reveals two trends in the past century: slow increase and fast increase. Comparing figures of the two sampled countries, we see that the differences between Brazil and Congo were just huge. 首先, 1900- 1950年之間是一種態(tài)勢(shì)。 Firstly, 19001950 was a trend of increase. Agricultural water use gradually increased from 8 the original 500,000 cubic meters to 1,000,000 cubic meters in 1950. That of industrial and household use remained almost unchanged, only rising from almost zero in 1900 to 500 cubic meters and 200 cubic meters respectively in 1950. 其次, 1950年前后起,農(nóng)業(yè)用水量開(kāi)始進(jìn)入大幅度增長(zhǎng)期,從 1,000 千立方快速跳躍到 1960年的 1,500 千立方;之后,升幅有所放緩,但接著又開(kāi)始高位竄升,截止到 2020 年,已經(jīng)達(dá)到了 3,000千立方。家庭用水從 1950- 1970 年間開(kāi)始加速,從 千立方上升到 ,然后,增長(zhǎng)更強(qiáng)勁,一路攀升到了 2020 年的 300千立方。巴西的人口數(shù)量比剛果多出 1 億 7 千多萬(wàn),土地灌溉面積是剛果的 265 倍,人均用水量接近剛果的 45倍之多。這兩個(gè)抽樣國(guó)家 在用水量上的差距表明:一個(gè)國(guó)家越發(fā)達(dá),用水量便越大。聽(tīng)力和閱讀自不必說(shuō),就連口語(yǔ)和寫(xiě)作這類主觀性的項(xiàng)目,大多數(shù)考生都在竭盡所能搜羅各種秘方。也因此,一些打著短期內(nèi)快速突破寫(xiě)作 技巧名號(hào)的書(shū)籍成了眾多考生必備的一本雅思寫(xiě)作“考典”?!笆旄愣ā保蛘呓o足一個(gè)月把所有的“秘籍”背出來(lái),一切問(wèn)題都能解決了。可是這一個(gè)多月的奮斗結(jié)果往往遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于目標(biāo)分?jǐn)?shù)。很多語(yǔ)言能力不錯(cuò)的學(xué)生,寫(xiě)作成績(jī)出來(lái)只有 分。更 可怕的是,這一失利讓不少學(xué)習(xí)能力很強(qiáng)的考生對(duì)英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作產(chǎn)生了畏懼,似乎高分變得遙不可及。 那么怎樣才能保證在短期內(nèi)真正快
