刚吃完饭,我想:每天都是爸爸妈妈做家务,总是衣来伸手饭来张口的。今天我一定要帮妈妈分担家务——洗碗。于是我自告奋勇地说:“今天让我来洗碗吧!”妈妈用诧异的眼光看着我,疑惑地说:“你能行吗?”我坚定地说:“没问题的!”
说干就干。我先打开水龙头,装满一盆清水,倒入少许洗洁精,一瞬间一大堆泡泡冒出来,从我的手指缝里钻来钻去。我玩一会,才想起我的重任。我把一个个脏兮兮油腻腻的碗放入盆中。然后把碗里里外外都擦一遍,遇到有点脏的地方就多擦几遍。一开始我一帆风顺,后来我越来越骄傲,一不小心,一个调皮的碗从我手中溜出去掉落在地上炸开花。碗被摔个半身残疾。我开始小心翼翼的洗每一个碗,最后我终于征服那些调皮的碗,可我已经满头大汗。我想:洗碗还真不是一件容易的事。以后要多为妈妈分担家务啊!
妈妈看见,不但没责怪我,还开心的笑,表扬我说:“你懂事,会洗碗!”我听心里乐滋滋的。
一、何为“折衷观点”和“折衷方案”。
很多雅思写作考题的提问方式都是“Do you agree or disagree?”或者“To what extent do you agree or disagree?”。很多刚刚接触雅思的学生甚至是老师认为对于这种提问方式无非就是yes或no两种答案,所以文章的观点也就只能是同意或者不同意了。其实,对于这类提问,也可以采用“折衷”的观点,即“partly agree,partly disagree”(部分同意,部分不同意)。但是前提是一定要在文章中从支持和反对的两方面都阐述一些理由,而且最好再提出一种“折衷”方案。例如,考题问“现在很多人用动物做试验,你同意吗?”,考生可以在文中分别讨论支持和反对动物试验的理由,最后提出动物试验既有好处也有坏处,这就是一种“折衷”观点。除此之外,作者还提出了是否能用动物来做试验主要是取决于试验是否能给人类生活带来显著的改善(比如帮助人类发明治疗Aids的药物),这就属于“折衷”方案。
二、“折衷观点”和“折衷方案”的几种形式。
那么如何提出“折衷观点”呢?“折衷方案”又有哪几种形式呢?下面笔者将对常见的几种安排折衷观点和折衷方案的'形式,结合相应的考题进行总结。
(1) 兴利除弊
“兴利除弊”应该是一种比较简单的折衷方案,在优缺点类文章中特别常用。即在分析完考题所涉及事物的优缺点之后,在结尾段提出“优缺点都有,我们要兴利除弊”这样的折衷方案。例如以下考题:
The advantages brought by the spread of English as a “global language” will outweigh the disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
在讨论完英语作为全球性语言的利与弊之后,结尾段可以这样提出折衷观点:
To sum up, it is difficult to tell whether or not the advantages outweigh the disadvantages regarding the spread of English as a global language. What we may have to consider is how to accept this trend as positive while at the same time staying away from its drawbacks.
(2) 平衡发展
很多考题需要考生讨论两种观点,通常会有“discuss both views and give your own opinion”这样的提问要求。很多情况下,文中说到的两种观点表面上看来是完全相反,但其实并不矛盾,可以用“平衡发展”的思路来提出观点。例如考题:
Some people think that cultural traditions may be destroyed when they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others believe it is the only way to save these traditions. Discuss on both sides and give your opinion.
在讨论完发展旅游的必要性和保护文化传统的重要性之后,结尾段可以这样提出折衷方案:
We should find the right balance between tourism development and cultural protection and I believe the government has a very important role to play here. In my own country, for example, many tourist cities have made effective development plans to successfully attract large numbers of visitors while still preserving their distinct cultural traditions.
(3) 取决于……
有时在讨论完A和B两种观点以后,可以提出类似于“同意A还是B要取决于……”这样的折衷观点,前文讲到的动物试验是否可以进行取决于试验的性质就是属于这样的方案。再比如下面这个例子:
Some people think that the animals should be treated as pets; others think that animals are sources of food and clothing. What is your opinion?
在讨论完动物当宠物养的理由和动物当食物吃的理由之后,结尾段可以这样提出观点:
From my point of view, there is no absolute answer as to whether animals should be treated like pets or as sources of food and clothes. It largely depends on what kinds of animals they are. But what remains undoubted is that we should treat animals with a humane attitude and bear in mind that they are important in preserving nature’s ecological equilibrium.
(4) 解决方法
很多双边讨论型文章中所讨论的两种观点其实是可以通过某种方案来“化解矛盾”的,例如这道考题:
In many countries, good schools and medical facilities are available only in cities. Some people think new teachers and doctors should wok in rural areas for a few years, but others think everyone should be free to choose where they work. Discuss and give your own opinion.
在讨论完“支边”的利(缩小城乡差距)与弊(年轻人丧失自由)之后,我们可以提出这样一种解决方案:
The best solution, therefore, is not to order, but to encourage. We should instill a sense of responsibility in young people and give more incentives to those who are willing to work in difficult areas, so that we can address the problem of urban-rural disparity while respecting whatever decisions new teachers or doctors have made.
My uncle has two dogs. One is big and the other is small. He likes them very much.
One day, Mr. Smith came to visit him. When the friend saw two holes in the door, a large hole and a small hole, he was surprised and said, ;My dear friend, why are there two holes in your door?; ;Let my dogs come in and come out, of course,; Mr. Smith asked. ;But why are there two holes? One is enough!; ;But how can the big dog go through the small hole?; my uncle said.
Sometimes a clever man may make such mistakes.
我的叔叔有两条狗。一只是大的,另一只是小狗的.。他很喜欢它们。
有一天,史密斯先生来看他。当这个朋友看见门口上有连个洞,一个是大洞和一个小洞时,他感到吃惊并说,;我亲爱的朋友,为什么你的门上有连个洞?;我的叔叔回答说:;当然是让我的两条狗进出了。 史密斯先生问到:"为什么门上要两个洞呢?一个就足够了。"我叔叔说:;大狗怎能走小洞呢?;
今天,我帮爸爸做许多家务,心里感到十分愉快。
我选择个爸爸上网的时间打扫,最后给他个惊喜。一开始,我冥思苦想,先干什么好呢?,嗯,先收拾桌椅吧,我便开始忙活起来,由于太久没有打扫,所以屋子里早就乱成一锅粥,遥控器藏在沙发底下,桌子底下躲满纸屑,沙发上站满东西,看来这此要大忙活。
经过翻箱倒柜的整理,桌椅终于整理好,不过地板可是个大问题,地板上有各种各样的尘土、纸屑、垃圾、这可把我累坏,由于我们家是在太大、害得我整理半个多小时,呜呜。
经过和垃圾的一番斗争后,我终于把他们全部消灭,屋子里焕然一新,我实在太开心!
突然,爸爸从房间走出来,惊呆,爸爸问我:“这打扫的太干净,是你干的吗?”我激动得说:“是我干的!爸爸说:“你真能干”听这句话,我心里感到美滋滋的。
通过这次干家务活,我明白劳动的艰辛,我还明白成果是用汗水换来的,虽然我很累,但我很快乐!
