2010年6月英語四六級考試寫作佳句300例匯總(5)
由于國內英語教學中寫作訓練薄弱，大批學生只會單詞，不懂語境和搭配，出現了各種可笑的中文思維現象。我們寫作教學中專門強調語感的培養，除單詞記憶和句型操練之外，在此專門選編了300個閃光的英文句子，涉及面很廣，配有譯文并用黑體標出了句子銜接的主干框架。讀者可以在閱讀中仔細領會每句話表達的妙處，遣詞造句的獨特設計。也可以作為寫作的范本加以背誦，提高自己的語感和閃光點意識。
151. There is undoubtedly an element of truth in assertions that capital punishment is necessary , but proponents seem to ignore the fact that the practice has failed to deter heinous crimes .
毫無疑問，主張極刑的必要性有正確的成分，但是，支持者似乎忽略了這種做法不能阻止令人發指的罪行這一事實。
152. Many people assume that the extinction of a plant or animal species is of little consequence . Careful examination , however , reveals that the extinction of any one species disrupts the food chain , and the loss of a plant species leads to the disappearance of a key ingredient which might yield a cure for cancer .
許多人想當然地認為一種植物或動物的滅絕產生的后果很小。然而，仔細的考察揭示出任何一個物種的滅絕會破壞食物鏈，一種植物的消失造成有可能生成治療癌癥的藥物的關鍵成分的缺失。
153. At first glance , the characteristics of Bugs BUnny seem comical . However , a closer examination reveals the cartoon character never creates a problem , and instead simply hopes for quiet and peaceful life . This suggests that cartoons most often teach children the difference between good and evil .
乍一看，流氓兔的性格似乎滑稽。然而，仔細觀察發現這個卡通人物從不制造麻煩，相反，它只希望過安靜平和的生活。這說明卡通在大多數情況下教授給兒童好與壞之間的區別。
154. Logically , calls for a New World Order sound valid , and I whole-heartedly agree with some points , but the absurdity arises when considering that the world's 200-odd nations have diverse agendas when it comes to development and diplomacy .
從邏輯而言，要求形成新的世界秩序聽似正確，而且我真心實意地同意一些觀點，但是，考慮到世界上二百余個國家在發展和外交上有不同的議事日程，這種要求就顯得荒謬了。
155. In spite of claims to the contrary , it is common knowledge that corporal punishment most often has the exact opposite affect intended .
盡管有相反的主張，但是大家都知道體法在多數情況下產生適得其反的效果。
156. We were brought up to believe that the role of a man was to provide and the role of a woman was to care for the household and family . Today , however , role reversal is becoming increasingly commonplace .
我們從小就相信男人的角色市提供生活所需，女人的角色是照顧家庭和子女。然而，今天，角色的互換變得越來越普遍。
157. Some people tend to tenaciously cling to the misguided concept of racial superiority . Their persistence in doing so , however , does readily reveal the inferior mentality and social incompatibility of certain human beings .
一些人頑強地堅持種族優越性的錯誤觀點。然而，他們堅持這樣做正揭示了某些人自卑的心理和社會對立性。
158. Some people claim the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) far exceeds that of Western-style pharmaceuticals . More often than not , however , the exact opposite is true .
有的人聲稱中藥的功效遠遠好于西藥。但是，通常情況下，事實正好相反。
159. Workers commonly complain that causes for labor disputes rest solely on the shoulders of management . Quite likely the opposite is true .
工人經常抱怨勞資糾紛的責任完全在管理者的肩上。很可能正好相反。

有些人認為競爭促使人們發揮出最優秀的東西。另一些人認為它只是強迫一個人證明他/她比別人更優秀。提倡者叫囂著支持其中的一個立場。我認為前一個立場比后一個立場更恰當。
161. Claiming something is true misses the point , while presenting verifiable fact proves its correctness .
聲稱某樣東西是正確的沒有什么意義，而提出可以證實的事實能證明它的正確性。

暗示一件東西比另一件東西更好比旁敲側擊地說黑比白好并沒有更大的意義。
163. Ignoring cause and effect is exactly the same thing as failing to look both ways when crossing a busy intersection .
忽略因果就相當于橫穿繁忙的十字路口時沒有朝兩邊看。

全世界和平的基本障礙物在于許多國家謀私利的野心。
167. The overemphasis on one particular aspect of a problem often obscures the relevance of other issues .

武斷地無視性亂行為的增多和性傳播疾病的迅速蔓延之間的直接聯系是魯莽的。一個更愚蠢的錯誤是否認在世界范圍內開展廣泛的性教育項目的必要性。

以前對中國離婚率升高的解釋是完全站不住腳的。事實是許多婚姻僅僅建立在便利的基礎上，而且妻子不再愿意接受丈夫作威作福的態度。
175. Claim that entering the Chinese market offers foreign companies an immediate road to profits are grossly misstated and have been proven wrong time and again . The key to entering China rests with the phraseology " vast potential market " , and how long one is willing to wait for returns .
聲稱進入中國市場會給外國公司帶來立即獲利的途徑是非常錯誤的，事實已經一次次地證明了這一點。進入中國的關鍵在于“廣闊的潛在市場”這一說法以及為了回報愿意等待多久。
