專四范文:
Plastic Surgery Should Be a Personal Choice
整形手術應該是一種個人選擇
While some people may think that plastic surgery is a waste of time and money and that surgeons could be better employed in more traditional life-saving hospital work I believe that cosmetic surgery is here to stay and in fact, plays a very important role in today's society for some people.
盡管一些人或許會認為整形手術是浪費時間和金錢,外科醫生應當從事更加傳統的救死扶傷的醫務工作。我認為,整容實際上對現在的一些人來說,在當今社會很重要。
Nationwide most of those having cosmetic surgery fall into two groups: women in their 20s hoping to give their careers a lift, and women in their 40s who want to look younger. Mothers sometimes bring their daughters in to have surgery to improve their chances of getting a good job or landing a good husband. While some people may say that these are trivial reasons for cosmetic enhancement compared to patients who suffer from disfigurements or ugly blemishes and have more of a need for plastic surgery I would argue that such people are merely expressing their right to choose. While there are dangers in operations going wrong and often there is a large financial bill at the end. Most reputable hospitals would warn patients beforehand of the risks involved. At the end of the day the patient has to choose and whether he chooses rightly or wrongly is a matter of personal choice.
全國做整容手術的大部分人可以被分成兩種類型,一種是為了升職的20歲的女人,另一類是想要保持年輕貌美的40多歲的女人。母親有時候會帶著自己的女兒去做整容手術來幫助他們獲得更好的就業機會或者找到好丈夫。盡管一些人或許會說,這些美容的原因與一些病人的需要相比,是微不足道的。那些病人的容貌遭到了嚴重損傷,或者外表非常丑陋,因此他們更需要整容。我想說的是,這些人僅僅是為了表達他們的選擇權利。盡管手術中出現錯誤的危險很大,而且手術的費用很高,大多數有名的醫院都會在手術之前告知病人可能存在的風險。在最后一天的時候,病人需要做出選擇,正確選擇與錯誤選擇完全是個人的決定。
In conclusion, plastic surgery does benefit some people and even though there could be complications most patients are aware of them and factor these in when making their own personal choice. (236 words)
總之,整容手術確實對一些人有益,盡管現在有很多抱怨,大多數病人都意識到了這些抱怨,而且他們在做出選擇之前也將這一因素考慮在內了。(236字)
