英語作文開頭-引用法

　 文章開頭通過引用名人名言，箴言諺語，或有代表性的看法見解來引出文章要展開討論的一種觀點。下面便是一些常見句型。

32　One of the great early men
writers
philosophers
scientists said
wrote
remarked　that.... If this is　true,
the case,
32　then the present
current view
values
attitude
situation should make us wonder whether
ponder over

　 32.1 One of the great early socialists said that the status of women in a society is a pretty reliable index of the degree of civilization of that society. If it is true, then the present low status of women in management should make us ponder about whether our management is civilized at all.
　 以前有一位著名的社會學(xué)家曾說過，婦女在一個社會中的地位是這個社會文明程度的一個非�？煽康臉�(biāo)志。如果是這樣的話，那么目前婦女在管理方面較低的地位應(yīng)使我們想一想，我們現(xiàn)在的管理是否文明。

　 32.2 One of the great early writers once said that human character is
formed by society. If this is the case, aren't the current pervasive
corruption, the popular obsession with money-making and general indifference
to human sufferings and social injustices a perfect manifestation of a bad
social environment?
　 曾有一位偉大的作家說過：人的性格是由社會塑成的。倘若真是如此，那難道當(dāng)今的腐敗風(fēng)氣，一心撲到錢眼里而對人的疾苦和社會不正之風(fēng)麻木不仁等現(xiàn)象，不正是社會環(huán)境不良的真實寫照嗎？

33　"Knowledge is power"
"Awareness of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom"
"Familiar notions are often those least examined"
"Mutual ignorance breeds mutual distrust"
"Genius is 2 percent inspiration and 98 Percent perspiration" Such is the
opinion of
remark made by
33　Bacon.
Edison.
one of the great men. This view
remark has been shared
confirmed　now
time and again by more and more people.
many historical events.


　 33.1 "Great minds must be ready not only to take the opportunity, but to
make them." Colton, a great writer once remarked. But it still has a
profound significance now. To a person, in whose lifetime opportunities are
not many, to make opportunities is more essential to his success.
　 偉大的作家科爾頓曾經(jīng)說過：“一個偉大的人物不僅必須隨時抓住機(jī)會，而且必須隨時創(chuàng)造機(jī)會�！彼倪@個精辟的論斷至今仍有深遠(yuǎn)的意義。一個人一生中機(jī)會并不很多，因此，創(chuàng)造機(jī)會對他的成功來說便尤為重要。

　 33.2 Education is not complete with graduation. Such is the opinion of
Mortimer J. Adler, a great American philosopher. Now more and more people
share his opinion. No college or university can educate its students by the
time they graduate; and no one should be content to simply end his education
with high school education or college education. Education is a lifetime
study.
　 教育不能隨著畢業(yè)而告結(jié)束。這是美國大哲學(xué)家摩提默叫·阿德勒的觀點。這個觀點已為越來越多的人所接受。沒有一所大學(xué)能在學(xué)生畢業(yè)時把所有知識都教授給他們了，沒有人應(yīng)該滿足于他自己的高中教育或大學(xué)教育。教育是一種終生的學(xué)習(xí)。

34　"...." That's how one college student
official
housewife
father　described
commented
complained
criticized ...
34　He / She is hardly alone in the experience
Many people have shared the experience like this

　 34.1 "All I have learnt in college is junk. " That's how one college
graduate described his frustration in looking for a job. He is hardly alone
in the experience. Actually there are thousands of college graduates who
complain that the degree they took away can't help them to secure a
rewarding job, and the knowledge they acquired in class can't be transformed
into useful job skills.
　 “我在大學(xué)器學(xué)的都是廢物�！边@是一位大學(xué)畢業(yè)生在說起自己在尋找工作中不斷
受挫時所發(fā)的怨言。他的經(jīng)歷不只是個別的，有無數(shù)大學(xué)畢業(yè)生抱怨他們拿到的學(xué)位在
找一份適宜的工作時起不了什么作用，學(xué)校里學(xué)到的知識不能轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橛杏玫墓ぷ骷寄堋?bR>
35　"...." The same idea
complaint
attitude is voiced
echoed
shared by....

　 35.1 "Spendable money is better off spent. The cast of living is going up
so fast, it is better to spend money now on things we would normally put off
buying. "That's how my neighbor, a steel worker complained of soaring
inflation. His view is now echoed by more and more working people who buy
more things that they don't really need than put money into savings accounts
that pay interests far below the pace of inflation.
　 “能用的錢最好還是用光�，F(xiàn)在生活費(fèi)上漲很快，與其是推遲買的，不如現(xiàn)在就買
下來。”這是我的一個在鋼鐵廠工作的鄰居在抱怨物價飛漲時說的。他的觀點已得到越
來越多的工人的贊同。人們爭相買東西，甚至買些并不十分需要的東西，而并不把錢存
入銀行。這是因為存銀行所得的利息遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不及通貨膨脹的速度。

36　"...."　How often we hear
We are used to hearing
Many people have heard (such) statement
words
complaint like
as this
those.

　 36.1 "Social attitude toward women has changed a lot." How often these
days we hear the statement like this. Twenty or thirty years ago it was
believed that a women must either many young or risk becoming a spinster.
And a woman who did not marry was thought to be inferior and abnormal.
However, today's woman has numerous options open to her besides early
marriage. Most important, a single woamn is no longer looked down upon by
society.
　 “社會對婦女的態(tài)度有了很大的變化�！弊罱覀兂３Ｂ牭竭@樣的說法。二三十年
前，人們普遍認(rèn)為一個女人要么早早結(jié)婚，要么很可能成為一個老處女。而一個不結(jié)婚
的女人會被視為不正�；虻腿艘坏�。然而今天的婦女除了趁年輕結(jié)婚外還有許多出路。
最重要的是一個單身女子再也不會受社會歧視。

V．比較法

　 比較法句型主要用于通過對過去與現(xiàn)在兩種不同傾向、態(tài)度和觀點的比較，引出文
章要討論的主題。

37　For years
Until recently ...　had been
was seen
viewed
regarded as.... But that is changing now.
people are taking a fresh look at it.
37　With the growing
mounting demand for
interest in
concern over ... people....

　 37.1 For years, offsprings, especially sons had been expected to remain
at home permanently, bringing their spouses home to the big, extended family
when they got married. But that's changing now. With growing demand for
independence and the improved living standard, more and more　young people
seek to leave the parental family to establish their own households.
　 多少年來，子女，尤其是兒子一直被希冀永遠(yuǎn)待在家里。當(dāng)他們結(jié)婚后，應(yīng)把配偶
帶回家來，組成大家庭。但現(xiàn)在這已起了變化。由于生活水平的提高和對獨(dú)立生活的要
求，越來越多的青年追求搬出父母家，建立自己的家庭。

　 37.2 Until recently the general attitude toward daydreaming remained
hostile. Daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time. Or it was considered an
unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. But now sane people are
taking a fresh look at daydreaming. They think it may contribute to
intellectual growth and lead to the attainment of actual goals.
　 不久前人們對白

日做夢一般還是持批評的態(tài)度，認(rèn)為它浪費(fèi)時間，是逃避現(xiàn)實生活
及其責(zé)任的一種不健康的傾向。但現(xiàn)在有人對此持一種新的看法。他們認(rèn)為白日做夢有
助于智力的發(fā)展，能引導(dǎo)人們實現(xiàn)要達(dá)到的目標(biāo)。

　 37.3 Until recently, discoveries in science and technology had been
thought of as the result of dramatic accidents. But the view is changing
now. Contrary to the notion of "instant" scientific discoveries,
distinguished scientific accomplishment is a matter of opportunity and of
continuous and concentrated effort over long years.
　 以前，科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)現(xiàn)一直是被看成帶有戲劇性的偶然結(jié)果�，F(xiàn)在這種觀點正在改
變。與這種“瞬息”的科學(xué)發(fā)明的看法相反，偉大的科學(xué)成就不僅僅是機(jī)會，而且是長
年累月?lián)Q而不舍、孜孜不倦的結(jié)果。

38　People used to think
It was once thought that.... In the past
old days .... But things are quite different.
few people now share this view.

　 38.1 People used to be born at home and die at home. In the old days.
Children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. But now things
are quite different. Our youngsters have never been close by during the
birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
When people get seriously sick, they are often transferred to a hospital,
where children are usually unwelcome and forbidden to visit terminally ill
patients. This deprives the children of an experience of death, an
experience very important to one's life.
　 人們過去生在家里，死在家里。過去，生與死作為生活一部分孩子們是經(jīng)�？吹降�
和聽到的。但現(xiàn)在情況大不相同了。我們年輕人從來看不到嬰兒的降臨，也體驗不到一
個家人的死去。當(dāng)人患了重病，，他們常被送往醫(yī)院，而孩子們通常在醫(yī)院是不受歡迎
的，是
不允許探視臨終的病人的。這就剝奪了孩子對死亡的體會，而這個體會對人生來說是十
分重要的。

39　Several years
decades ago, people ... Now, ...
Today, ... Why do people ...?
has such change taken place?

　 39.1 Several years ago, people were often a little surprised when they
heard that a college student was doing a part-time job. "Why? Maybe he is
short of money," they thought. Nowadays, it is not an uncommon occurrence
that college students are working as tutors, salesmen and tour guides. Many
students put up advertisements on bulletin boards or lamp posts to search
for odd jobs. Why do many students show great interest in a part-time or a
summer job?
　 幾年前，人們聽到某某大學(xué)生在打工，常會覺得有點驚奇。他們想：“怎么啦？他
可能缺錢用吧？”但如今大學(xué)生兼做家庭教師或
推銷員、導(dǎo)游是常有的事了。許多學(xué)生在招貼欄或路燈桿上貼廣告，想尋找一份短工。
為什么許多學(xué)生對課余打工或暑假打工這么感興趣呢？

　 39.3 General attitude toward the market-oriented economy has undergone a
great change. Twenty or thirty years ago, very few people believed that the
market-oriented economy could work in our society. Now, however, it is
widely held that it is the only key to the development of our economy. It is
in my opinion that the second of these attitudes is nearly unsophisticated
as the first. Yesterday's skepticism was based on ignorance of the law of
economic growth; today's assurance reflects a misunderstanding of the nature
of economy itself.
　 人們對市場經(jīng)濟(jì)的態(tài)度經(jīng)歷了很大的變化。二三十年前，很少有人認(rèn)為市場經(jīng)濟(jì)在
我們國家行得通。而今天許多人則認(rèn)為市場經(jīng)濟(jì)是我們經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的唯一手段。而我認(rèn)
為，第二種態(tài)度同第一種差不多簡單。昨天對市場經(jīng)濟(jì)的懷疑態(tài)度是由于人們對經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)
展規(guī)律的一無所知；而今天的絕對肯定則反映了人們對經(jīng)濟(jì)本質(zhì)的誤解。

40 After a good many years of efforts to
enthusiasm for ..., people begin to ....

　 40.1 After years of second-class status, smaller rewards, and lesser
coverage by sports writers, women athletes are making great strides ------
not just in gymnastics and swimming, but in weightlifting and football.
Women can and do compete well in nearly every sport and draw as large crowds
of plying customers as men.
　 多少年來女運(yùn)動員地位低下，報酬低，體育記者對她們報道也少�，F(xiàn)在她們正在取
得很大的進(jìn)步，不僅在體操、游泳，而且在舉重和足球方面也取得了長足的進(jìn)步。婦女
在幾乎所有的體育項目上都能，而且也確實干得很好，她們和男運(yùn)動員一樣能吸引許多
觀眾。

　 40.2 After years of enthusiasm for more children, childbearing is losing
its appeal for many young couples in big cities. In an increasing number,
newly-weds put off having children or decide not to have one at all. The
latest reports show that in 1994 married couples with wives under 35 had
less than one child on average, while with wives over 55 had more than three
children.
　 經(jīng)過多年的多生孩子熱后，大城市里的許多年輕夫婦對生孩子正逐漸失去興趣。越
來越多的新婚夫婦推遲生育孩子或決定不要孩子。根據(jù)最新的報道，1994年35歲以下的
已婚女性平均生育子女還不到一個，而55歲以上的婦女則超過3個。

　 40.3 After a good many years of observing human nature in action, I have
firmly concluded that two qualities make the difference between leaders and
men of average performance. They are curiosity and discontent. These deep
human urges work together, I believe, to motivate all human discovery and
achievement.
　 經(jīng)過多年來對現(xiàn)實生活中的人性的觀察，我得出一個肯定結(jié)論：人能成為一個杰出
之材還是一個平庸之輩取決于兩個特性：好奇和不滿足。我認(rèn)為人性中的這兩個欲望，
一起起作用驅(qū)使人去發(fā)現(xiàn)，去取得成就。

41　It is a traditional way
custom
practice　to.... But now the pendulum has swung　to another direction.
in the opposite direction.
the other way.


　 41.1 It is a traditional custom for Chinese old people to live with their
children and their grandchildren. In this way the young people can express
their gratefulness and show respect for the elderly. But in the recent
decades, the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. According to a
study in 1994, 52 percent of Chinese elderly were living alone in their own
houses or in nursing homes in big cities, as against nearly zero in 1954.
Why are increasing numbers of the old people living apart from their
children?
　 中國的老人和他們的子女和子孫住在一起是一個傳統(tǒng)的習(xí)慣。年輕人以此來表示對
老人的尊敬，表達(dá)對父輩養(yǎng)育之恩的報答。但最近一二十年，鐘擺轉(zhuǎn)到相反的方向去
了。根據(jù)1994年一項調(diào)查， 52％的老人獨(dú)住自己家，或住進(jìn)大城市的養(yǎng)老院，而在
1954年則基本沒有這種情況。為什么越來越多的老人和他們的于女分開住呢？

　 41.2 Traditionally, young ad4iks are preoccupied with business careers,
financial success, the accumulation of possessions and conformable living.
But now the pendulum seems to be swinging the other way. According to the
1994 census, many counterculture ideas have entered mainstream culture. More
people are defining success in terms of intangibles ------ creativity,
autonomy, pleasure, participation, adventure, stimulation, and love. Many
are questioning the kinds of work society offers and the payoffs it
provides. And many are dissatisfied with the traditional social identities
of wife an

d husband.
　 傳統(tǒng)上來說，青年人關(guān)心的是職業(yè)、成功、積累財富以及舒適的生活。但現(xiàn)在鐘擺
似乎轉(zhuǎn)到另一方向去了。根據(jù)1994年的調(diào)查，許多反文化的觀念已進(jìn)入了主流文化。許
多人衡量成功的標(biāo)志不再是物質(zhì)方面，而是創(chuàng)造、自主、快樂、參與、冒險、刺激和愛
情。許多人對社會提供的工作和支付的報酬發(fā)生了疑問，并且不滿足于丈夫和妻子的傳
統(tǒng)社會屬性。

42　In recent years, there is a steady / subtle / significant shift of
general / growing / healthy tendency to
upward / welcome / undesirable trend toward ...
42　According to a poll
study
survey , there is X percent of..., compared with Y percent last year.
Why...?

　 42.1 In recent years there is a steady shift of scientists from the pure
to applied field. According to a study, in Beijing alone 72 percent of
scientists and researchers have switched to industries where there are more
jobs available and frequently more highly-paid than jobs connected with pure
research. Does the trend have something to do with nationwide concentration
on immediate results of economy and little interest in long-range studies?
　 最近幾年，科學(xué)家正從純理論的研究轉(zhuǎn)到應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域上來。根據(jù)一項調(diào)查顯示：光北
京地區(qū)就有72％的科研工作者轉(zhuǎn)向了工業(yè)部門，那里不僅工作機(jī)會多，通常工資待遇也
遠(yuǎn)比理論研究部門要高得多。這種傾向是否和全國只注重經(jīng)濟(jì)的直接產(chǎn)出，不太關(guān)心長
期的理論研究有關(guān)呢？

　 42.2 In recent years there is a tendency towards living alone ------ a
dramatic step on the path away from the close-knit, extended families so
common just a few decades ago. According to a census report, households
consisting of just one person have increased to 14 percent in the past year,
compared with 4 percent 20 years ago. Why are people living alone?
　 近些年來獨(dú)身現(xiàn)象悄然出現(xiàn)。這對幾十年前相當(dāng)普遍的關(guān)系緊密的大家庭來說，是
一個非常大的變化。根據(jù)一份調(diào)查報告，去年單身者家庭上升14%，而在20年前只有4%
單身者家庭。為什么那些人要選擇獨(dú)身生活呢
