Realistic Life or Romantic Life
There has always been an argument between the young and the old about what kind of life to live, realistic or romantic. Young people tend to think that real life is as dramatic① and fascinating② as it is in the novels and movies while more experienced adults think this naive③ daydream is certain to be broken by later experiences and everyone should learn to get used to the dull routine of his everyday life.
However, there is some inadequacy④ in the opinions on the part of both sides. Life will be unimaginable⑤ if everything we do is only for realistic purposes, and the same is true if what we do every day is just to enjoy ourselves. So it&39;s enjoy life-enjoy the warmth of golden sunshine, enjoy the harmony⑥ on violin strings⑦ and enjoy the excitement of sports. On the other hand, let's not forget our work. Happy life can never go without hard work. In short, our
life should be both realistic and romantic.
【注釋】
①dramatic: 戲劇性的
②fascinating: 迷人的
③naive: 天真的
④inadequacy: 不足
⑤unimaginable: 難以想像的
⑥harmony: 和諧
⑦strings: 琴弦
【簡評】
這是一篇根據段首句展開的議論文。
第一段開宗明義,切入正題,用對比法說明年輕人和老年人對生活方式問題產生分歧。年輕人傾向於過浪漫的生活,而老年人認為現實活著更加符合實際。第二段用however自然過渡,用因果法證明雙方觀點均有不足之處。第三段,作者從兩個方面說明真正的生活應當既浪漫又現實。文末,作者總結自己的觀點:In short, our life should be both realistic and romantic.
本文立意新穎,主題明確。對比法和因果法的合理使用,論證更為充分、嚴密。排比辭格的使用,增加了文章的感染力,文末一句,簡明有力,起到了畫龍點睛的作用。
