第一篇 量體裁衣：具體問題具體分析

　　Directions: Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay in which you should?
　　1) describe the cartoon,?
　　2) interpret its meaning, and?
　　3) point out its implications in our life.??

　　This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on one's desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.?
　　The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a reason. ?
　　In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric. A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.
　　譯文：
　　這幅畫很可笑，但引人注目。一位身體龐大的顧客在裁縫仔細地為他量尺寸準備做衣服時，手里卻拿著一塊小得令人絕望的衣料。這幅畫告訴我們，一個人在執行任務的過程中必須考慮到實際情況，僅從主觀意愿出發而不顧眼前的事實，是不可能成功的。?
　　當前大學生的就業率使我們意識到進行合理思考的重要性，每年有大約300萬大學生從學校畢業，尋找工作，他們中的很多人并沒有找到一份適合自己的工作，有一個原因是沒有足夠的就業機會提供給數量如此龐大的畢業生。但除此而外，過高的自我估計也是可能的原因之一。?
　　為了能夠實現未來目標，一個人必須做出合理的決定，并做好相應的準備。比如一個志在成為外科醫生的學生，就必須確保自己有臨床實習的機會和足夠的知識，換句話說，顧客在購買衣料前必須先量好準確的尺寸，一個大塊頭是無法穿上一小塊布料的.

　　范文2：??
　　In the cartoon we can see a large person being measured by a tailor to get suitable clothes made. Anything to be done must be measured in advance so that we are able to find a proper way to do it. If the tailor does not take measurements of the man, then he would not be able to make suitable clothes for this person. ?
　　This same principle applies to solving any other problem. Firstly, when we want to know the reality of something, we must describe it like it is, getting rid of our prejudices and exaggerations, so that we can have an unbiased view. Secondly, the object should be analyzed in a concrete way so that we can grasp the reasons and rules of it. Thirdly, we must adapt our approach to solving a problem, for each situation is different from the others. So we must view a problem from different perspectives. ?
　　The cartoon implies different meanings to different people. A teacher should adopt different teaching methods according to the students in the class; a doctor should prescribe different treatments according to the patient's symptoms; a farmer should seed different plants according to the various conditions of the earth. From a philosophical point of view, dissimilar problems should be approached differently. Good results come from attentive analysis of a problem.

　　從圖中我們可以看到，一個裁縫正在給一位身材高大的人量身定做一件合適的衣服。在做任何事情都應該預先籌劃，以便找到恰當的解決辦法。如果這個裁縫不為這個人量尺寸，他就不能為他做出一件合適的衣服。 　　
　　這個道理同樣適合解決其它任何問題。首先，當我們要了解某事的真相時，我們必須如實地對其描述，排除任何偏見與夸張，以便我們能夠得到真實的情況。其次，具體事物要具體分析，這樣我們才能夠抓住事物的規律。最后，事物的狀態是不斷變化的，所以我們應當“因地制宜，同時制宜。”總之，我們要從不同的角度看待問題。 ?
　　圖畫的內涵對不同的人有著不同的意義。對于教師來說，面對不同的學生要采取不同的教學方法;對于醫生來說，要根據病人的不同病情采用相應的治療方法;對于農民來說，面對不同的土地狀況要種植不同的作物。從哲學角度來說，具體問題要具體分析。好的結果總是來自對問題的仔細分析。
