範文:On the Truth

「要求」

　　班會課上要求同學們爲大家用英文講述一個小哲理，要求條理清晰，有自己的見解。你的發言稿內容如下：

　　真誠是一種重要的思想方法。

　　應該弄清楚什麽是真誠。

　　爲什麽有時人們難以做到真誠。

　　真誠，是一種人生態度。

　　「範文」

　　OntheTruth

　　Truth is an attitude of the mind. It is important， if one does not wish to inconvenience and bore his or her friends. It means telling no lies and never backing out of one's word.

　　But it is more important to know what is the truth， and not to slide into those untruthful habits of thought which are so pleasant and so easy.

　　There is a word named “the victory habit of mind”。 People who have this mind are unduly preoccupied by what was socially and morally convenient. One should have the courage to think uncomfortably， since it is only by rejecting the convenience that one can come to think the truth.

　　Truth， is an attitude of the life.

　　直線式思維，層層推進是英文的習慣。避免Chinglish不僅僅要防止出錯，還要培養語感和思路。

　　「評語」

　　這篇短文首尾照應，用同一句式，衹換了一個單詞：“mind”、“life”，卻把意思推進了一層，很符郃英文的習慣，能起到警人的傚果。能夠不停地把意思深入，也是這篇短的一個特點。它使用的是層層推進的辦法，沒有在每個點上展開論述，但卻顯得乏味。
