考研英語(yǔ)作文范文

In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to others. In the next illustration a disabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind.

Despite the girl's youth and beauty, it is the disabled man who is truly beautiful. True beauty comes from one's actions rather than one's appearance. While most of us enjoy pretty appearances, it is more important to cultivate a clean and beautiful soul. Only such souls can create a genuinely beautiful society. Chinese traditionally uphold the virtues of modesty, generosity，broadmindedness, and politeness.

Confucian teachings such as: “do not do to others as you would not want done to you” and “one should be delighted to hear criticism,” are wise and worthwhile. If people embody these teachings our society can only improve and progress. The thoughts of great minds like Confucius are also worth studying. His writings set fine and noble examples for us to follow. Another proverb thus comes to mind: in the company of three one always can find a teacher. We should always be willing and able to learn from those around us.

譯文：

在上面的漫畫(huà)里，一個(gè)年輕女子愉快地吃著香蕉，然后隨手就把香蕉皮扔到了街上——絲毫沒(méi)顧及到這樣的舉動(dòng)不僅會(huì)污染環(huán)境，還會(huì)給他人帶來(lái)危險(xiǎn)。而在接下來(lái)的那幅圖中，一位殘疾人艱難地把她扔下的垃圾清理掉了。雖然這個(gè)女孩年輕貌美，但真正美的是那位殘疾人。真正的美是出自行動(dòng)而不是外表，雖然我們每個(gè)人都喜歡漂亮的外貌，但更重要的是培養(yǎng)純凈、美麗的心靈，只有這樣的心靈才能創(chuàng)造出真正美好的社會(huì)。中國(guó)自古推崇謙遜、寬宏、心胸開(kāi)闊和以禮待人的美德。

孔夫子的教導(dǎo)：“己所不欲，勿施于人”、“聞過(guò)則喜”是明智的并值得我們遵循。如果人們把這些箴言都落實(shí)到生活中，那么我們的社會(huì)就會(huì)得到改善和進(jìn)步。大思想家孔子的思想是值得我們學(xué)習(xí)的。他的著述給我們留下了杰出、高尚的楷模讓我們效仿。另一句諺語(yǔ)又浮現(xiàn)在我的腦海里：“三人行，必有我?guī)煛?。我們必須隨時(shí)愿意和能夠向周?chē)娜藗儗W(xué)習(xí)。
