Silence Is Gold

When we talk of the famous proverb "Silence is gold", we should not simply label it as right or wrong, but explore it in depth.

当我们谈到“沉默是金”这一著名的谚语时，我们不应该简单地把其标注为正确或错误，而应该进行深入探讨。

This proverb is especialy true under several situations. First, if we have made a promise not to let out a secret, we should always keep silent. Second, we should avoid talking over facts or statistics of which we are not sure. Third, whenever we are expressing our ideas， brevity is the soul of wit and talking too much will always lead to faults and mistakes.

这一谚语在一些情况下尤其如此。首先，如果我们做出了承诺要保守秘密，我们应该始终保持沉默。第二，我们应该避免谈论我们不确定的事实或统计数据。第三，无论什么时候我们表达自己的想法时，言贵简洁，说话太多往往会导致错误。

Nevertheless, there are also some exceptions. If we find out a flaw in other's speaking or writing, we should not hesitate a moment to point it out. And to friends or acquaintances seeking advice, we should feel free to help them.

不过，也有一些例外。如果我们在他人的说话或写作中发现了一个错误，我们应该毫不犹豫地指出来。在朋友或熟人征寻意见时，我们应该随时帮助他们。

In a word, we can draw the conclusion that in most cases "silence is gold", but in certain circumstances, talking is the right choice. (155 words)

总之，我们可以得出这样的结论，在大多数情况下“沉默是金”，但在某些情况下，说话是正确的选择。

【高分句型解析】

Third, whenever we are expressing our ideas, brevity is the soul of wit and talking too much will always lead to faults and mistakes.第三，无论什么时候我们表达自己的想法时，言贵简洁，说话太多往往会导致错误。

点评：这句话中有两个得分点，一是运用了谚语"brevity is the soul of wit"表示“言贵简洁”，二是运用了一组近义词faults and mistakes，用不同的词表达相同的意思，这样词下文还有flaw。

On Punctuality

 

Punctuality means observing regular or appointed time . A man who gets up at six o'clock every morning is punctual. A man who promises to call on a friend at five o'clock in the afternoon and actually does so at that hour is also punctual.

守时的意思是遵守规定的或约定的时间。一个人每天早晨都六点钟起床是守时的。一个人承诺了要在下午五点钟给朋友打电话，实际上他在那个时间也这么做了，那么他也是守时的。

 

The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, to return calls, or to keep appointments promptly.

另一方面，不守时的人，从来不会在合适的时间做他应该去做的事。他总是埋怨没时间准时地回信、回电话或遵守约定。

 

Undoubtedly, unpunctuality is harmful. Getting up five minutes later than usual may upset the plan of the day. Calling on a friend five minutes later than the appointed time may cause unexpected trouble to both sides. Failure to be punctual is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to a dinner but arrives later than expected, he keeps all the other guests and the host waiting for him alone. This is great impoliteness. Moreover, habitual unpunctuality leads to indolence and even failure in life. (170 words)

毫无疑问，不守时是有坏处的。比平时晚五分钟起床通常会扰乱一天的计划。给朋友打电话比约定时间晚了五分钟可能会给双方带来意外的麻烦。不能做到守时是对他人不尊重的标志。如果一个人受邀去吃饭，却比预期的时间晚到了，他让主人和其他所有的客人都在等他一个人。这是非常不礼貌的。此外，习惯性地不守时会导致生活中的懒散甚至失败。

Early Bird Catches the Worm

"Early bird catches the worm" is a well-known proverb which all of us are familiar with. I fully agree with it and its implication, in my mind, can be justified in three respects.

“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”是个很出名的谚语，我们都很熟悉。我完全赞同这句话，而且我认为，它的含义可以从三个方面进行说明。

 

First, it takes time to accomplish a task —— the earlier you begin，the more likely you will reach your goal earlier. Otherwise you call never be sure of your success. Second, when diligence becomes a habit, nothing will be difficult to a determined and persistent person. For example, you will never feel bored and tired at doing social investigation if you really enjoy it. Third, looking at the matter from another perspective， we will find that social resources are always limited and opportunities are always for those prepared minds.

第一，要完成一项任务需要时间一一你越早开始，就越有可能更早达成你的目标。否则你不可能确保你的成功。第二，当勤奋变成一种习惯，对一个有决心能坚持的人来说，没有事情是困难的。比如说，在做一项社会调查的时候，如果你真正喜欢它，你就从不会感到无聊和疲惫。第三，从另一角度来看这一问题，我们会发现，社会资源总是有限的，机会总是留给那些有准备的人的。

 

Living in an age when most people are intelligent, diligence seems more than necessary. As the modem competition becomes more and more fierce, we should realize the importance of early beginning. (152 words)

生活在一个大部分人都很聪明的年代，勤奋看起来非常有必要。由于现代的竞争变得越来越激烈，所以我们应该意识到早点开始的重要性。

Save the Energy Resources

Recently, it is reported that oil price in the international market has been skyrocketing drastically. In China, many traditional mineral cities in northeastern China has run into predicament, with their economy collapsed and workers unemployed, only because coal has been mined out.

据报道，最近国际市场的石油价格大幅飘升。在中国，东北部的许多传统煤炭城市经济崩溃、工人失业，城市陷入困境，仅仅是因为煤被开采得枯竭了。

Unlike sunlight, water and wind, fossil energy resources, including coal, oil and gas, are not practically reproductive during human history. Once consumed, they're gone forever. If they were to be exhausted before we could find sufficient resources to replace them, we would have to live in entire blackout again, which is of course not what we would like to see.

不像阳光、水和风，化石能源资源，包括煤、石油和天然气，在人类历史上其实都不是可再生的。一旦被消耗了，它们就永远消失了。如果在我们能够找到足够的能代替它们的资源之前，它们就消耗完了，我们会再次陷入全面停电的局面，这当然是我们不愿意看到的。

Therefore, we must economize on energy resources. New techniques should be developed and applied to reduce energy consumption in industry and daily life. Alterative energy should be employed wherever possible. Any practice that wastes energy should be eradicated . (140 words)

因此，我们必须节约能源资源。应该研发出新技术，将其应用在工业和日常生活中减少能源消耗上。在任何可能的地方都应该使用可替代能源。任何浪费能源的行为都应该被根除。
