Along with the huge progress of globalization, many countries have put so much emphasis on their economic development, and even some people believe that the becoming economy should be considered to be a judgment of a country' s success. However, there are still a lot of other people arguing that the success of a country depends on the living standard of its national citizens. Personally speaking, the later does go along with my own standpoints.

說明一是認為國家取得成就的主要依靠經濟的繁榮，二是贊成公民的生活水平決定了國家的發展。自己支持后者。

First we should admit that the advancement of a country' s economy is of highly significance. It is unquestionable that the self-confidence of a nation, the strength of a country in both military and business fields, the individual wealth etc. largely depend on the status of that country' s economic condition, and usually the first step of flourishing a nation is economic construction. Under no circumstance can a nation be regarded to be successful when its people are still struggling on the poverty line.

肯定一國經濟發展對國家進步的意義。這段話主要的就是中間的被動句，不難。沒什么好說的，果斷背誦之！！

But a country' s success is by no mean mere economic promotion, and those who hold the opinion like this tend to live under the illusion that all the country' s troubles can be equate to its economic problems. In fact, they fail to take into account that some problems, such as the deterioration of environment, which may probably exert detrimental impacts on people' s health, or the increasing mental pressure from peoples work or study, which may lead to psychological diseases, would indisputably impair the residents' sense of well-being and cannot be solved only through the augment of their wealth. As a matter of fact, the criteria of a nation' s success should focus on the residents' life issues, which are comprehensive manifestations of a country' s politics, economy, culture and many other aspects.

提出不能忽視人類創造的經濟以外的，如，人所處的環境，文化的重要性，同時所有這些都依托在人身上。

From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that any enlightened government should give priority to the contemplation of improving people' s living standard through multifaceted methods rather that concentrating only on developing their economy, so that they would gain glorious achievements eventually, and any countries, who neglect this vital point and contrive to flourish, would pay heavy price, which they cannot afford.

倡議政府把注意力放在提高公眾的生活水平上，只有這樣，才能實現經濟的穩步發展，有助于國家的發展。
