作文写作之观点法(二) 　　文章开头句型：I 对立法 II 现象法 III 观点法 IV 引用法 V　比较法 VI 故事法 VII 问题法 　　观点法 　　文章开门见山，直截了当提出作者对文章要讨论的问题的观点，也即文章的中心思想。以下就是常用的句型。 　　29 Now people in growing /increasing /significant numbers are beginning /coming to realize /recognize /understand /　　accept /be aware that.... 　　29.1 Now people in growing numbers are coming to recognize that the business spirit, which carries in its torrential course so many of the talents and energies of men into money-making, has shaped our culture and influenced our ideals and aspirations as a people. 　　现在越来越多的人开始认识到这股下海从商的浪潮把许多人卷进去，使他们把自己的才干和精力都耗在赚钱上。这个重商的风气改变了我们的文化，影响了作为一个民族的我们的理想和抱负。 　　29.2 In recent years an increasing number of people are getting to realize that much of the technology being developed today neither respects the earth"s delicate ecosystem nor is adequately controlled by social institutions. As the social costs of the technological development (e. g environmental pollution, unemployment) become so obvious, it is time that our society should make efforts to reassess the direction of our development in the view of radically different and increasingly complex cioeconomic 　　circumstances. 　　近年来日渐增多的人开始意识到当今正在开发中的许多技既没有考虑到地球上微妙的生态系统，也没有受到社会机构的有 效控制。由于开发技术所付出的社会代价（如环境污染和失业现 象）十分明显，该是到了我们的社会作出努力，从完全不同的，越来 越复杂的社会经济环境来重新评估技术发展的方向的时候了。 　　30 Now there is a growing awareness / recognition on the part of people people become increasingly aware / conscious of the need /necessity /importance to /of ... 　　30.1 In recent years there has been an increasing awareness of the necessary to improve our criminal justice system. A young thief who spends time in jail often receives there a thorough education in crime from his fellow prisoners, or perhaps tough criminals who drag him into more serious offenses and more prison terms a vicious cycle that will do greater harm to the society. 　　近几年来人们越来越意识到改进我们刑法制度的必要性。一 个初犯的小偷被关在监狱里，往往会从其他囚犯，甚至犯罪老手那 里学到一整套作案的手法，结果他们把他拉人更深的犯罪深渊，以 至判更长的徒刑，如此恶性循环将对社会造成更大的危害。 　　30.2 Now people become increasingly aware of the importance of acquiring a mastery of a foreign language. To them, the knowledge of a foreign language, say, English, often means a good opportunity for one"s career, even a passport to a prosperous future. Many of them equate success in life with the ability of speaking a foreign language. 　　现在许多人日益意识到掌握一门外语的重要性，对他们来说，外语知识，如英语往往意味着给他的职业带来好的机会，甚至给他带来光辉灿烂的前途。许多人把人生的成功与能讲外语相提并论。 　　31 we might marvel at In spite of / Despite the great /giant /extraordinary /tremendous progress /stride /advance made in science and technology /nearly every field , (but) ... remain basically unchanged. /the same as it was. /as ... as ever they were. 　　31.1 We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a person"s knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It is extraordinary that after all these years, educationists have still failed to devise anything mere efficient and reliable than examinations. For all the pious claim that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they mere often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, but they can tell you nothing about a person"s true ability and aptitude. 　　对各个学科所取得的进步我们或许会感到吃惊，但是测试人们知识和能力的方法仍像过去一样原始。经过这么多年，教育家们仍未能设计出比考试更可靠，更行之有效的方法，这真使人为之惊讶。尽管教育家们虔诚地宣称，考试能测验你懂得多少知识。但众所周知，它们通常是适得其反。用来测试记忆力，考试也许是种好方法，但它不能测出一个人的真正能力。 　　31.2 This is a skeptical age, but although our faith in many of the things in which our forefathers deeply believed has weakened, our confidence in the curative properties of the bottle of medicine remains the same as theirs. This modern faith in medicine is proved by the fact that the annual drug bill of this country is mounting to astronomical figures and shows no signs at present of ceasing to rise. 　　这是一个怀疑一切的时代。但是尽管我们已不大相信我们的祖先们所深信不疑的许多事物，我们对装在瓶中的药物却仍与我们的祖先一样确信无疑。现代人对药物的迷信可由这一事实得到证实：即这个国家每年的药费已到了天文数字，且目前尚无停止增长之迹象。 　　31.3 Although great strides have been made in achieving social status and greater equality for women in the past decades, their role in the family remains basically uncharged. The double burden of work inside and outside the home they are carrying renders them impossible to make full use of their talents and difficult to rise to positions of leadership. 　　虽然在过去几十年里妇女在争取社会地位和更多的平等方面取得了很大的进步，但是她们在家里的角色仍没有得到多大的变化。她们在家里和外面都要干，这双重工作负担使她们不能充分发挥自己的才能，因之很难升到领导岗位。 　　31.4 We continue to share with our remotest ancestors the most evasive attitudes about death, despite the great distance we have cane in understanding some of the profound aspects of biology. We have as much distaste for talking about personal death as for thinking about it; it is an indelicacy, like talking in mixed company about venereal disease or abortion in the old days. 　　尽管我们对生物某些方面的奥秘已有很多了解，但我们还是和祖先一样，对死是讳莫如深的。我们对自己的死不仅不敢想，而且不敢去谈论。这是一个不适宜的话题，就像过去在男女一起时谈论性病和流产一样不易启口。 (实习编辑：夏根建)
