  剖析1998年真题

  一.1998年真题解说

  Directions:

  A. Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay in no less than 150 words.

  B. Your essay must be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET Ⅱ.

  C. Your essay should meet the requirements below:

  1. Write out the messages conveyed by the cartoon.

  2. Give your comments.

  1998年的考研作文是第一次出现图画作文,图画作文又可以细分为照片、图片

漫画等多种形式。另外还有一点变化,就是从1998年开始考研写作字数从原来不少于120字增加到不少于150字,这一要求一直持续到2000年。从2001年起,字数增加到200字左右。不过从2005年起因为增加了应用文作文,故大作文的字数要求有所降低,为现在的160-200字左右。不过图画类作文应该是考试准备的重中之重。

  本题属于漫画类,画的是一只下蛋的母鸡,可笑的是母鸡手中拿着一份承诺书,旁边还有一首诗对漫画的内容进行了讽刺。对于漫画类题型,考生注意对漫画的描述不是最重要的,与之相比,揭示出其中的深刻寓意更为重要。本题的提纲要求两点:第一点是写出漫画所包含的信息;第二点是给出评论。总的说来,第一点是相当固定的,考生只要对漫画进行简单描述就可以了。需要提醒的是我们应着力描写母鸡手中的承诺书,而不需要将旁边的诗进行逐句翻译,不过诗歌的题目倒是可以借鉴——《如此承诺》,因此考生可以将本文的题目写成如My View on So?called Promises等。提纲的第二点为考生留出了很大的想象的空间。诚信问题一直是社会热点问题,相信考生写作都会有很多的思路,只要选择自己能够驾驭的语言将其意义揭示出来,并发表自己的看法即可。考生可以从此种承诺产生的原因,和此种承诺的危害性等方面进行扩展。

  二.经典范文赏析

  As can be seen from the cartoon, a hen is making promises that her eggs are all round and consist of shells, egg whites and yolks. We all know that hen?s duty is to lay eggs, but she promises what she should do! In our daily life, many people, just like the hen, keep making such promises in which they take duties and responsibilities as virtue to be proud of.

  Such promises, I think, come into being mainly for two reasons. First, some profit-driven enterprises take advantages of such promises to win people?s trust; however, their advertisements are merely misleading and cheating. Second, some of organizations and individuals that have good fame are by all means politicizing their deeds, but actually they just do what they should do.

  In my opinion, doing more is better than promising more, since people are willing to be served sincerely. What we should lay more emphasis on is what we do and how we can virtually improve the level of service. Only in this way can we make people satisfied with what we do.

  译文

  从漫画中我们看到一只母鸡正在承诺,它下的蛋都是圆的并且包含所有鸡蛋的成分。我们都知道母鸡的职责就是下蛋,但它却为自己份内的事情作承诺。在现实生活中,很多人同这只鸡一样,把自己的责任和义务当作值得夸耀的奉献。

  我认为之所以有这样的承诺原因有二。第一,一些受利益驱使的企业利用这样的承诺来赢得人们的信任,但他们的广告基本上不过是误导和欺骗。第二,一些有名的机构和个人千方百计宣传他们的作为,其实他们不过是履行自己的职责而已。

  我认为,做事比承诺更重要,因为每个人都希望真诚相待。我们应该把重点放在我们该做什么,怎么做才能改进我们的服务等方面。只有这样人们才会对我们做的事情满意。
