2中国应该进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电数的2%。该比例在所有核电国家中居第30位，几乎是最低的。

2011年3月日本人核电站事故后，中国的核能开发停了下来，中止审批新的核电站，并开展全国性的核电安全检查。到2012年10月，审批才又谨慎的恢复。随着技术和安全措施的改进，发生核事故的可能性完全可以降到最低程度。换句话说，核能是可以安全开发和利用的。 【参考译文】1.

China should further develop nuclear energy because nuclear power accounts for only 2% of its total generating capacity currently. Such proportion ranks the thirtieth in all the countries possessing nuclear power, which is almost the last.After Japan’s nuclear power accident in March 2011, nuclear power development in China was suspended, so was the approval of new nuclear power plants. Also, the national safety check for the nuclear power was carried out. IT was not until October 2012 that the approval was prudently resumed.

With the improvement of technology and safety measures, there is little

possibility for nuclear accidents to happen. In other words, there won’t be any trouble to develop and exploit the nuclear power.

[微博]生尤为重要，假如他们没有在这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣，以后要养成阅读的习惯就很难了。

第三篇：2015年6月四级考试真题作文与翻译

This Modern Life

As the picture depicts, a man is using his computer day and night, even in his dream. This drawing directly reveals a common phenomenon that computers have penetrated into our daily life and we are relying too much on it. There is no denying that computers and the Internet draw the whole world closer and provide us with a convenient life.

Computers offer great convenience, but we cannot turn a blind eye to their negative impacts. To start with, excessive addiction to computers may do harm to our health, depriving us of our time to work out. Moreover, drowning in computers keeps us away from our families and friends. Some people talk with friends online while ignoring those around them. And, we must admit that the more we rely on computers, the less drive we have to acquire new skills, like calculation and memory. Indeed, computers really promote our life as the product of advanced technology, but we shouldn’t put and

comfortable

life.

Nevertheless, computers are not indispensable in every aspect of our computers before everything else in our real life.

Translation It is reported that China’s courier services will deliver about 12 billion parcels this year. This will make it possible for China to overtake the United States as the world’s largest courier market. Most parcels are packed with items ordered online. China provides opportunities to millions of online retailers to sell goods at highly competitive prices. On the day of November 11th alone, Chinese consumers purchased $9 billion worth of goods on the biggest online shopping platform in China. There are many such special shopping days in China. Therefore, the expansion of courier in China is not surprising at all.

第四篇：2014年大学英语四级作文题材训练之公德心

题目：公德心

Should we help others in need?

1. 现在经常有这样的现象发生：路上有人摔倒，没人敢上前帮忙。

2. 这是人们的公德心缺失还是其他什么原因呢?

3. 你对此有何看法?

[示例范文]

Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture. But what’s strange nowadays is that people dare not show their helping hands to those in need. I would like to elaborate my views on this issue.

Firstly, I think people’s moral sense has degraded. When egoism gains the upper hand, many people find it growingly hard to help others. Secondly, there is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions. So common people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.

In general, I contend the idea that we should be warm-hearted and offer help as well as look out for potential hazards so as not to be deceived.

[作文点评]

第一句话介绍背景，使用“美德”virtue一词。第二句话为转折句，除了使用but这个表示强烈转折意味的连接词，还采用了strange和首句形成鲜明对比。

文章第二部分开始阐释人们公德心(moral sense)缺乏的原因。指出原因之一为自私。此处采用了egoism, 也可使用selfishness, 但不可使用individualism，后者在英语语境中通常作褒义词讲，即崇尚自尊自立之意。原因之一是内因，原因之二是外因。Trap指陷阱，deceit指欺骗。第二段使用了内外因、主客观因素结合的方法，较全面地解释了公德心缺失的根源。最后一段表明作者立场，提出既要坚持善良之心也要有防备之心。

第五篇：2014年大学英语四级作文题材训练之食品安全

题目：食品安全

Food Safety

1. 食品安全问题令人担忧。

2. 对此，你有什么看法(可从蔬菜、水果滥用农药、激素方面分析)?

[示例范文]

Currently, many problems concerning the safety of food have popped up. As for me, I believe at least three factors account for this issue.

First, I observe that profits drive many food producers to commit illegal things. They aim to gain more money at the expense of consumers’ health. Second, the overuse of agricultural pesticide has resulted in the degradation of food quality. The excessive pesticide bears enormous health hazard for people. Furthermore, some food producers inject hormones into domestic animals so as to make them grow more quickly and thus they can turn in more profit. As a result, people’s health has been seriously disturbed.

All in all, food safety is such a great concern, and we all should do establish laws and implement them effectively to avoid producing toxic foods.

[作文点评]

首句直接点题，词组pop up指弹起，这里指食品安全突然间成了一大社会问题。文章第二部分从蔬菜生产商、水果滥用农药及激素方面阐释了食品安全问题的根源。Observe除了有观察之意，还可以表示某人的观点;动词commit后面通常接违法或伤害性的事情，如commit a crime, commit illegal things, commit suicide等等。“以消费者的健康为代价”除了使用at the expense of 还可以使用at the cost of 或者ignoring。另外，在表达同一意思或相近意思时，此文避免了一词多用，而是采用不同的单词或词组，如劣质食品使用了problems concerning the safety of food, the degradation of food quality和toxic foods。

最后一段再次点题，并提出了万能解决方案之一，即政府和相关单位要制定法律法规。
