橡皮们纷纷跳出文具盒开始了讨论聚会,一个粉红色的橡皮说;工厂里的叔叔阿姨对我可好了,给我穿上了一身漂亮的粉红色的`衣服,现在我的小主人对我可好了。有一个满身是铅笔洞的橡皮说;哎哟,疼死我了,我那个小主人非常淘气,每次都用铅笔扎我。不到一会儿,每个橡皮都开始说起了自己的遭遇。一位年迈的橡皮说;孩子们,安静下来,我们应该叫铅笔帮助我们给我们的小主人写一封【爱护文具】的信。橡皮们异口同声地说好。
铃铃铃,下课了,同学们纷纷回到教室里看到了这封《爱护文具》的信,自从看了这封信以后,同学们变得很爱护文具了,用完文具连忙把文具放回文具盒里,也从没用笔扎橡皮了,现在的橡皮都是干干净净、漂漂亮亮的。
一、何为“折衷观点”和“折衷方案”。
很多雅思写作考题的提问方式都是“Do you agree or disagree?”或者“To what extent do you agree or disagree?”。很多刚刚接触雅思的学生甚至是老师认为对于这种提问方式无非就是yes或no两种答案,所以文章的观点也就只能是同意或者不同意了。其实,对于这类提问,也可以采用“折衷”的观点,即“partly agree,partly disagree”(部分同意,部分不同意)。但是前提是一定要在文章中从支持和反对的两方面都阐述一些理由,而且最好再提出一种“折衷”方案。例如,考题问“现在很多人用动物做试验,你同意吗?”,考生可以在文中分别讨论支持和反对动物试验的理由,最后提出动物试验既有好处也有坏处,这就是一种“折衷”观点。除此之外,作者还提出了是否能用动物来做试验主要是取决于试验是否能给人类生活带来显著的改善(比如帮助人类发明治疗Aids的药物),这就属于“折衷”方案。
二、“折衷观点”和“折衷方案”的几种形式。
那么如何提出“折衷观点”呢?“折衷方案”又有哪几种形式呢?下面笔者将对常见的几种安排折衷观点和折衷方案的\'形式,结合相应的考题进行总结。
(1) 兴利除弊
“兴利除弊”应该是一种比较简单的折衷方案,在优缺点类文章中特别常用。即在分析完考题所涉及事物的优缺点之后,在结尾段提出“优缺点都有,我们要兴利除弊”这样的折衷方案。例如以下考题:
The advantages brought by the spread of English as a “global language” will outweigh the disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
在讨论完英语作为全球性语言的利与弊之后,结尾段可以这样提出折衷观点:
To sum up, it is difficult to tell whether or not the advantages outweigh the disadvantages regarding the spread of English as a global language. What we may have to consider is how to accept this trend as positive while at the same time staying away from its drawbacks.
(2) 平衡发展
很多考题需要考生讨论两种观点,通常会有“discuss both views and give your own opinion”这样的提问要求。很多情况下,文中说到的两种观点表面上看来是完全相反,但其实并不矛盾,可以用“平衡发展”的思路来提出观点。例如考题:
Some people think that cultural traditions may be destroyed when they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others believe it is the only way to save these traditions. Discuss on both sides and give your opinion.
在讨论完发展旅游的必要性和保护文化传统的重要性之后,结尾段可以这样提出折衷方案:
We should find the right balance between tourism development and cultural protection and I believe the government has a very important role to play here. In my own country, for example, many tourist cities have made effective development plans to successfully attract large numbers of visitors while still preserving their distinct cultural traditions.
(3) 取决于……
有时在讨论完A和B两种观点以后,可以提出类似于“同意A还是B要取决于……”这样的折衷观点,前文讲到的动物试验是否可以进行取决于试验的性质就是属于这样的方案。再比如下面这个例子:
Some people think that the animals should be treated as pets; others think that animals are sources of food and clothing. What is your opinion?
在讨论完动物当宠物养的理由和动物当食物吃的理由之后,结尾段可以这样提出观点:
From my point of view, there is no absolute answer as to whether animals should be treated like pets or as sources of food and clothes. It largely depends on what kinds of animals they are. But what remains undoubted is that we should treat animals with a humane attitude and bear in mind that they are important in preserving nature’s ecological equilibrium.
(4) 解决方法
很多双边讨论型文章中所讨论的两种观点其实是可以通过某种方案来“化解矛盾”的,例如这道考题:
In many countries, good schools and medical facilities are available only in cities. Some people think new teachers and doctors should wok in rural areas for a few years, but others think everyone should be free to choose where they work. Discuss and give your own opinion.
在讨论完“支边”的利(缩小城乡差距)与弊(年轻人丧失自由)之后,我们可以提出这样一种解决方案:
The best solution, therefore, is not to order, but to encourage. We should instill a sense of responsibility in young people and give more incentives to those who are willing to work in difficult areas, so that we can address the problem of urban-rural disparity while respecting whatever decisions new teachers or doctors have made.
今天,我们家对动画片进行了研讨,原因是:要明白看动画片好不好,有那些好的地方?那些不好的地方?
妈妈首先胸有成竹的发表演说:“动画片尽量少看,如:奥特曼、侦探柯南等暴力的动画片对孩子影响特别不好,孩子学会一些***死你、打死你的话不说,还容易做恶梦。所以不能看动画片。”
妈妈说完,给爸爸使了个眼色,爸爸接到暗示赶紧说:“我认为动画片有好有坏,比如:喜洋洋与灰太狼。喜洋洋象征着智慧和勇气。可是日本的奥特曼却是打打******,凶残暴力,所以我觉得:孩子有选择的看点动画片是可以的。”
终于轮到我说了:“爸爸说得对!动画片有好有坏,要看是什么动画片了,应该学习那些动画人物的智慧,不要模仿他们的\'动作和暴力倾向,我认为可以看动画片。”
妈妈说:“听了你们的话,我觉得动画片有益有害,看来我要对动画片进行分类呀!”
我想:妈妈终于想通了,我去看电视了!家庭研讨会在欢声笑语中结束了。
