　　這篇文章屬于簡潔的圖畫配一句意味深長的話的類型�？梢苑譃樗亩蝸韺�。第一段描述圖畫并對圖畫進行初步的概括性的闡釋。第二段從圖畫出發(fā)，談論在體育比賽中的情形。第三段談論在人生旅途中的情況。第四段作結。In the picture, a football player is smiling on the platform. Under the picture, there is a sentence: a hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but is braver five minutes longer. This famous quotation, first said by US essayist & poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, aims at encouraging all of us rethink our life attitude and exert all our strength in the pursuit of our goals.

　　When we look at an excellent player and an ordinary one in a football game, we can not tell them apart from their appearance. Physical quality is important, but it can not be compared with mental ability, just as University of Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr once said, “Mental is to physical what four is to one”. Toward the end of a fierce game, when everyone is nearly exhausted, who can clench one�餾 teeth and hold on to the end is certainly a hero.

　　In our journey of life, there are critical moments that involve much greater risks than on the sports field. Many disasters come so quickly that we have nearly no time to hesitate at all. The first natural reaction is to flee the scene, whether it is a derailed train, a wrecked ship or a place of explosion. Nevertheless, such emergent moments call for heroes, those people who can resist fear and try his best to lead or help fellow citizens out of grave danger.

　　Instead of showing off our own ability or defeating others, what is of vital importance is to push beyond our own limits and hold on for another five minutes. Perhaps that is the very meaning of life itself. 第一段在描述圖畫后，直接對繪畫者的意圖進行測度——這句出自愛默生之口的名言，旨在激勵我們重新審視我們的人生態(tài)度，并在追求我們目標的過程中竭盡全力。這種在描述圖畫后直接進行概括性推斷的做法不太常用，主要出現(xiàn)在兩種情況下：一是圖畫簡潔，描述簡單；二是在后續(xù)兩段對道理進行深入的闡釋，且兩段是層遞性的，而不是原因加辦法或后果加辦法的類型。

　　第二段講在體育比賽中的情形。第一句說優(yōu)秀的選手與普通的選手外表上分不出來。第二句引著名教練卡爾的話說明精神比身體重要得多。第三句說當激烈的比賽快要結束時，每個人都已精疲力竭，而咬緊牙關堅持到底的人就一定是英雄。這一句是對圖畫的呼應——圖上的運動員發(fā)出會心的微笑，他一定是在賽場上拼盡全力堅持到最后的人，可能正是他最后五分鐘的進球為整個球隊贏得了勝利。

　　第三段講在人生的旅途上，我們會遇到比賽場上危險得多的關鍵時刻。許多災難來得如此突然，我們根本沒有時間猶豫。人的自然反應是逃離現(xiàn)場，但是這樣的危急時刻需要英雄——那些能抵抗恐懼，帶領或幫助眾人脫離危險的人。

　　第四段是結語。不是為了炫耀自己的能力或者戰(zhàn)勝別人，最重要的事情是突破我們自己的極限，再堅持五分鐘。這句話是對圖畫的呼喚，也是上兩段精髓的直接拓展。最后說，這可能就是生命的意義吧，句中very和itself均是加強語氣的手段，讀來覺得鏗鏘有力。寫好哲理性文章的關鍵是要抓住圖畫和關鍵句子的精髓——理解得越深入就可能寫得越成功。

　　在寫作時，選取典型的例子非常重要。例子可使文章生動起來，可使說理深入淺出，易于理解。

　　在寫作中，可以分兩段來進行說理，第一段扣緊圖畫所描述的場景，而第二段則推衍至人生的層面。這樣由淺入深，層次感強，道理也容易談得透徹。
