范文:
The cartoon features a man who looks fat, wealthy and greedy for food. He is insatiably devouring a table of delicious food, while we are surprised to find that the waiter is serving him with even more dishes. We cannot help worrying whether this man's stomach can bear so heavy a load all of a sudden.
As the caption points out, excessive love for food exerts negative influences on health. Whenever in front of dishes of superb taste, we need to keep in mind that a certain amount of food is enough to sustain us. Equally, the same truth applies to a bunch of our other habits. In other words, it is a must to limit any hobby, or else it may lead to disaster. Another typical example would be many folks' devotion for computer games. Playing computer games now and then is an interesting entertainment, but an addiction to them would surely detach people from their time commitment to normal work and study.
As a result, I believe that limitation plays a decisive role in maintaining healthy habits in our everyday life. Moreover, we should learn to control our desires and sometimes greed. Proper limitation always leads to a sound and jovial life.
譯文:
這幅圖刻畫了一個看起來很胖、很富有也很貪吃的男人。他正在毫不知足地吞吃著一桌的美食,而我們驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)服務(wù)員正在上更多的菜。但是,我們不禁擔(dān)心他的胃是否能夠一下子承擔(dān)如此多的負(fù)擔(dān)。
正如標(biāo)題所提示的那樣,貪吃對于人們的健康只會產(chǎn)生負(fù)面效應(yīng)。當(dāng)我們面對一桌美味佳肴的時候,我們必須要謹(jǐn)記我們只需要一部分食物就足夠生活了。同樣,這個道理也適用于其他的生活習(xí)慣。也就是說,喜愛任何事物都必須要有一個"度"。否則就有可能導(dǎo)致悲劇。另一個典型例子就是很多人沉迷于電子游戲。偶爾玩一下電子游戲是一種非常好的娛樂方式,但是一旦上癮就會影響人們正常的學(xué)習(xí)和工作的時間投入。
因此,我認(rèn)為掌握好"度"對于保持我們在日常生活中健康的習(xí)慣起著關(guān)鍵性的作用。此外,我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會控制我們的欲望甚至貪婪。合適的"度"才能讓我們有一個健康、快樂和完整的生活。
