英语作文开头-观点法

　 文章开门见山，直截了当提出作者对文章要讨论的问题的观点，也即文章的中心思想。以下就是常用的句型。

25 Nothing / Few things
No idea / opinion belief / view / attitude　is
are more / as foolish
dangerous
untrue
undesirable
basic
important
essential
25 than
as ... (which is widely
commonly
generally　held by...).

　 25.1 Nothing, we have been told these years, is more educative than participating in or listening to an exchange of opinion. The seminar, the conference, the lecture, the panel discussion on the radio ------ how fine, how liberating, how instructive they are to us all, to the participants and to those at their receiving sets. They can not only acquaint one with many facts, but help deepen one's understanding of social phenomena and relationships, and broaden one's outlook.
　 这些年来我们都感到没有什么比参加一个讨论或听听别人的思想交流更有教育意义的了。大型讨论会，大型会议讲座以及电台直播室的讨论对我们所有人，对参加者或是听众都是那么美妙，那么有意义，有启迪作用。这些讨论不仅使我们了解了许多事实，而且有助于加深对各种社会现象和关系的理解，开阔眼界。

　 25.2 Few things seem to stir up more fear among today's young people than
the prospect of a military draft. Feelings of patriotism are articulated
much more freely now, but there seems little enthusiasm for military
conscription, and no one wants to spend several years in the armed forces
engaged in activities which have nothing to do with their future work.
　 似乎没有什么比要服兵役更使青年人担心了。现在到处洋溢着爱国主义的情感，但对服兵役却没什么热情，没有人想在部队里待几年，去从事与他未来的工作没什么关系的活动。

　 25.3 Perhaps no issue in this world is as basic to individual and
national survival as food. But China in recent years has experienced a
serious waste of food in one way or another. Especially in many big cities,
this waste has become habitual and traditional, to the extent that people
are seldom aware of it in their daily life.
　 可能在这个世界上没有什么问题比粮食对一个人乃至整个国家的生存更为重要的了。但在中国，近年来各种各样严重浪费粮食的现象比比皆是。尤其在许多大城市里，这种浪费已成为习惯性和传统性了，以致人们在日常生活中已习以为常了。

26 Never
Nowhere in history
the world
China has the issue
change
idea of .... been more
as visible
evident
popular than ...
as ...

　 26.1 Nowhere in the world has the issue of birth control been more
evident than in China. The nation is faced with such serious situation as
the one in which its population is increasing much faster than the supply of
food and available resources.
　 世界上没有一个地方比中国的计划生育问题更突出的了。这个国家正面临着十分严峻的形势，其人口增长的速度正大大超过粮食供应的速度和自然资源供应的速度。

　 26.2 Nowhere has the great principle of equality been so thoroughly put
in practice as in China, and nowhere have such persistent efforts been made
to improve the legal status of women. In spite of this, however, women in
many places are still denied the right to compete with men for jobs on equal
terms and the right to equal opportunities for promotion.
　 世界上没有一个地方比中国把平等这个伟大的原则更彻底地贯彻到实践中去，没有像中国作出如此坚持不懈的努力来提高妇女的法律地位。尽管如此，在许多地方中国的妇女还是没有权利和男子在同等条件下竞争工作，没有平等的机会得到晋升。

　 26.3 Never in the nation's history have the stakes involving our
education been higher than rim. From energy crises to air pollution, and
from the improvement of the standard of living to space exploration, the
approaching world of the 21st century bristles with challenges whose
resolution, for better or worse, will depend largely on the quality of
education.
　 在这个国家的历史上教育从来没有像现在这样对我们如此利害攸关。从能源危机到环境污染，从生活水平的提高到空间探索，即将到来的21世纪充满了种种挑战。要战胜那些挑战，不论怎么样，在很大程度上取决于教育的质量。

27　It is about
high time we　exploded
shattered
freed ourselves from　the myth
illusion
fiction about ...

　 27.1 It's about time somebody exploded that old myth about childhood
being the happiest of your life. Childhood may certainly be fairly happy,
free from financial worries and the anxiety about social ladders. But have
you heard our children today groaning under the ever-increasing burden of
studies? Have you seen them stay up almost every night simply to finish a
day's homework?
　 现在应该是揭穿长期来认为童年是人的一生中最幸福的时代这个古老神话的时候了。童年固然很幸福，孩子们没有经济上的忧愁，也没有争名夺利的焦虑。但是人们是否听到现在的孩子在日益沉重的学习负担下发出的呻吟声？人们是否看到孩子们为了完成一天的功课，几乎天天熬夜？

28 Perhaps
Maybe we should
it is time to rethink
reexamine
have a fresh look at the idea
values
attitude
wisdom
desirability that ...

　 28.1 Perhaps we should rethink an idea fast becoming an undisputed
premise of our life that a college degree is necessary ------ and perhaps
even a sufficient ------ precondition for success. I do not wish to quarrel
with the assumptions made about the benefits of orthodox education. I want
only to expose its false god; the four-year, all-purpose, degree-granting
college, aimed at the so-called college-age population and by now almost
universally accepted as the stepping-stone to "meaningful" and "better"
jobs.
　 可能我们应当重新考虑一下这个很快成为我们生活毋庸置疑的前提：对成功来说，大学文凭是必要的，或许是先决的条件。我不想反对正统的大学教育带来种种好处的观点。我只想揭示把大学文凭捧上天的虚假性：对象是所谓读大学的适龄青年，目的是培养各种人材的颁发学位的四年制大学现已差不多被公认为是找到＂有意义的”、“好的”工作的跳板。

　 28.2 Maybe it is time to reexamine our present valuess of life and try to
figure out why life today becomes so difficult, and what can be done about
it. Not only are things often not what they seem, they may be just the
opposite of what they seen. People are discontented these days, for example,
not because things are worse than ever, but because things are better than
ever. Everything is paradoxical.
　 也许现在该是重新检查一下我们现在生活流行的价值观，弄清楚今天的生活为何变
得如此艰难，以及该用什么办法加以解决的时候了。现在的事情常常不仅不是它们看上
去的那样，事情可能正好与看上去的相反。譬如说，如今人们的不满往往不是因为情况
比以往任何时候都糟，而是因为情况从未这么好过。一切事情都变得似是而非了。

29 Now people in growing
increasing
significant numbers are beginning
coming to realize
recognize
understand
accept
be aware that....

　 29.1 Now people in growing numbers are coming to recognize that the
business spirit, which carries in its torrential course so many of the
talents and energies of men into money-making, has shaped our culture and
influenced our ideals and aspirations as a people.
　 现在越来越多的人开始认识到这股下海从商的浪潮把许多人卷进去，使他们把自
