專八題目:
College Students’ Image Reconsidered
專八范文:
Nowadays, college students comprised of the post-80 generation and the post-90 generation are always put in the storm of criticisms. To list a few of these criticisms, they are accused of being spoiled by their parents, for the majority of them are the only children of their families. Brought up in the social contextof opening up and reform, they are always renounced by the older generation that they have been westernized looking to western cultures as fashionable and being cynical the Chinese counterpart. Given more and more college graduates have difficulties in finding decent jobs, they are perceived by the older generations as not competent as college students of the older generations.However, I am of opinion that the aforementioned negative image is imposed upon the post-80 and -90 generations, which is unfair.
現(xiàn)如今,大多數(shù)大學(xué)學(xué)生出生于80年代和90年代,他們受到了人們的廣泛批評。下面是一些列舉的案例,他們是一些被父母寵愛的孩子,絕大部分的學(xué)生都是獨生子女。他們是在改革開放以后成長起來的孩子們,老一代的人們認(rèn)為他們受到了西方文化的影響,他們認(rèn)為西方文化更時尚,并排斥中國文化。現(xiàn)如今,許多大學(xué)生很難找到工作,年齡稍大一點的人認(rèn)為他們沒有以前大學(xué)生有競爭力。但是,我認(rèn)為這些消極的思想全部歸罪于80、90后是不公平的。
Firstly, as the majority of post-80 and -90 generation college students are at school or in the lower layers of social myriad, they are vulnerable to their superior’s judgments. As is known, those older generations were brought up in a less affluent and isolated society, they were denied a favorable social background. College students in the past had to work harder to be admitted due to the limited resources of higher learning. When they were in college, many could not gain allowance from their families so that they got into the habit of frugality. Before the adoption of opening up policy, it's difficult for them to get access to foreign cultures, not to mention American movies and Japanese cartoons.
首先,絕大部分的80、90后大學(xué)生都是在校學(xué)生,或是處于社會的底層,他們總是受到老者的批評。眾所周知,這些老者都是在貧苦的社會長大的,他們?nèi)鄙倭己玫纳鐣h(huán)境。過去的大學(xué)生必須非常努力,這是因為當(dāng)時的高等教育資源極其有限。在大學(xué)期間,許多人沒有家庭給予的津貼,所以,他們養(yǎng)成了節(jié)省的習(xí)慣。在改革開放之前,他們很難接觸到外國文化,更不要提美國電影,或是日本卡通。
As a result, those older generations are likely to deem any behaviors different from their own experiencesas unacceptable and due to their seniority they are able to express their judgments on various occasions. On the contrary, the post-80 and -90 generations can not voice their opinions in a society dominated by the older generations. Secondly, admittedly, part of the post-80 and -90 college students fit into the negative image, but they can not represent all the college students. According to our experience, there are students who are obsessed with computer games, who spend a lot of time keeping love affairs, and who spend money in an extravagant manner. In comparison with these students, the majority of the post-80 and -90 students can fit into an ideal model of college students. Some absorb themselves in the library all day long. Some take part-time jobs in their spare time to pay for tuition fees. Some voluntarily go to the remote areas to teach poverty-stricken students. I was wondering why the media do not provide more reports of those positive aspects of the post-80 and -90 generation college students.
所以,這些年齡稍大一些的老者很有可能不會接受不同的社會現(xiàn)象,由于他們有更多的經(jīng)驗教訓(xùn),他們能夠在不同場合表達(dá)自己的看法。相反,那些80、90后無法表達(dá)自己的想法,因為這個社會充斥著一些德高望重的人。第二,無可否認(rèn),部分80、90后學(xué)生確實造成了一些負(fù)面影響,但是,他們不能夠代表所有的學(xué)生。根據(jù)我們的經(jīng)驗,他們沉迷于電腦游戲、談戀愛、大把花錢。與這些學(xué)生相比,絕大部分的80、90后學(xué)生都是合格的大學(xué)生。許多學(xué)生在圖書館刻苦學(xué)習(xí)。許多還在業(yè)余時間做兼職賺取學(xué)費。許多還去偏遠(yuǎn)山區(qū)志愿教學(xué)。為什么媒體不能報道一些80、90后大學(xué)生積極的一面呢。
On all accounts, the negative image is imposed by those established older generations, and can not represent all the college students. As a member of the post 80 and 90 college students, I believe that we will still be the backbone of our society in the future.
總之,這些消極形象都是老一代人所樹立的,這并不能代表所有的大學(xué)生。作為80、90后的大學(xué)生,我相信,未來我們?nèi)匀皇巧鐣闹髁姟?/p>
