　　Say “No” to Plagiarism
　　A crucial skill students must develop at college is the ability to conduct independent research. Having accumulated fundamental knowledge, students should develop themselves into thinking and inquiring individuals capable of forming their own judgment and expressing their original insights, both in term papers and graduation theses.
　　Unfortunately, with massive information readily available on the Internet, irresponsible students find it so convenient to copy, partially or even completely, the research performed by others. Without declaring due acknowledgements, they pretend the research is by their own efforts and they secretly congratulate themselves on the good grades they obtain. Worst of all, th對剽竊說“不”ey seldom have a guilty conscience because such plagiarism is so pervasive.
　　However, the consequences are more serious than those plagiarists could imagine. For one thing, their personal credibility is ruined. College years are the most formative period in a student’s life and deception could be a serious stain on one’s moral integrity. For another thing, without effective research experiences, one is unlikely to acquire depth of analyses or originality of insights, both of which are indispensible to one’s career development, whether in corporate, government or academic organizations. Ultimately, the plagiarists themselves are to suffer.
　　To eradicate plagiarism, several measures could be adopted. Students need to heighten their moral standards by realizing that plagiarism is not just an academic issue but a critical moral issue. Teachers need to be more vigilant in detecting and combating plagiarism. Finally, university authorities need to tighten disciplinary codes to leave no plagiarists unpunished. In this way, universities can produce graduates who can be paragons of credibility, capable of playing a leading role in the credibility reconstruction of the entire nation.

　　【參考譯文】
　　對剽竊說“不”
　　在大學學習期間，學生必須培養(yǎng)的一個關(guān)鍵技能是如何去從事獨立的研究。在積累了基礎知識之后，學生們應將自己培養(yǎng)成善于思索、勇于探究的個體，能夠形成自己的判斷，表達自己獨特的見解，無論是在學期論文中，還是在畢業(yè)論文中。
　　不幸的是，由于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上海量信息唾手而得，缺乏責任心的學生很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)，部分地或全部地去抄襲他人所作的研究，是那么的便捷。他們對資料來源隱而不宣，假裝研究是他們自己所完成的，騙得了好分數(shù)便暗自慶幸。最糟糕的是，他們很少受到良心的譴責，因為這股剽竊之風已司空見慣。
　　然而，后果之嚴重是這些剽竊者所無法想象的。一方面，他們的誠信悉遭摧毀。大學歲月是一個學生一生中最重要的人品形成期，欺騙是對個人道德品行的嚴重玷污。另一方面，不累積有效的研究經(jīng)歷，大學生就無法獲得分析上的深度，或見解上的新穎。這兩點對于大學生未來的職業(yè)發(fā)展至關(guān)重要，無論是在商業(yè)機構(gòu)，政府機構(gòu)或?qū)W術(shù)機構(gòu)。最終而言，受損失的還是剽竊者本人。
　　欲鏟除剽竊行為，可采取的措施有以下幾個。學生們應該提高其道德水準；他們應該意識到，剽竊不是一個簡單的學術(shù)問題，而是一個至關(guān)重要的道德問題。其次。教師應該提高警惕，去揭露剽竊并與之作斗爭。最后，校方應強化學風規(guī)范，不讓任何剽竊者逃脫懲處。這樣，大學所培養(yǎng)出來的畢業(yè)生就能成為誠信的典范，在整個國家的誠信重建中，開風氣之先。
