6.成長成功
（1）Most people are under the illusion that a college degree guarantees success. There is no such guarantee without hard work.
許多人錯誤地認為大學學位能保證成功。不努力工作就沒有這樣的保證。
（2）While the inclination to procrastinate is common, one must fully consider the detrimental impact of unnecessary delays.
雖然拖延的傾向是普遍的，但是人們應(yīng)該充分考慮到不必要的延誤造成的有害影響。
（3）The tendency to take things for granted is understandable, but the need for one to rationally evaluate the circumstances of any situation is absolutely essential.
想當然的傾向是可以理解的，但是，理智地估計任何情形的情況是完全必需的。
（4）From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents' desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.
通過以上討論，我們可以得出如下結(jié)論：盡管家長想親自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的，但是這樣做的缺點遠大于優(yōu)點。
（5） From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that, although extra studies indeed enjoy many obvious advantages, its disadvantages shouldn't be ignored and far outweigh its advantages. It is absurd to force children to take extra studies after school.
通過以上討論，我們可以得出結(jié)論：盡管額外學習的確有很多優(yōu)點，但它的缺點不可忽視，且遠大于它的優(yōu)點。因此，放學后強迫孩子額外學習是不明智的。（結(jié)論句式）
（6）While achieving success is easier said than done, persistence does in fact pay off. One of the most important traits of a successful person is self-confidence, another is desire, and still another is determination.

獨立帶來很多好處，首先也是最重要的是自決
（8）There has been undesirable trend in recent years towards the worship of money . A recent survey showed that X percent of respondents ranked getting rich as their top priority , compared to X percent only a few years ago . Why do people fail to realize that wealth does not necessarily bring happiness?
近年來出現(xiàn)了對社會有害的拜金主義傾向。最近的一項調(diào)查表明，X%的調(diào)查對象把致富作為他們的首選，相比之下，就在幾年前，只有X%的人這樣想。為什么人們沒能意識到財富不一定帶來幸福呢?
（9） Most people are of the opinion that wealth provides solutions to all problems. But in spite of the material benefits wealth provides , I believe one should abandon the pursuit of materialism and instead concentrate on the pursuit of happiness.
大多數(shù)人認為財富為所有問題提供解決的辦法。但是，我認為，盡管財富提供物質(zhì)上的利益，一個人應(yīng)該放棄物質(zhì)至上的追求，而是集中精力追求幸福。
7.社會宏觀
（1）China needs to reexamine the results of economic and social modernization in order to ascertain the benefits and indeed（表示加強含義） the detrimental aspects from a new perspective. Otherwise, various perceived accomplishments might in fact prove to be far from beneficial .
中國需要重新檢查經(jīng)濟和社會現(xiàn)代化帶來的結(jié)果以便從新的角度明確它們的好處，甚至是有害的方面。否則，許多我們以為取得的成就實際上可能完全不會帶來好處。
（2）We must avoid overindulgence and conspicuous consumption . We must instead continue to recognize the benefits of thrift in order to protect our newfound prosperity.

（6）It is high time we put an end to the deplorable practice of food contamination .
