Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The way of a person's dress is an indication of his or her personality or character .
你是否同意以下觀點(diǎn)? 一個(gè)人的穿衣方式是其個(gè)性、人品的體現(xiàn)。
下面文韜老師將從破題關(guān)鍵、論點(diǎn)分析和語料整理三個(gè)角度具體分析。祝各位考生考場如有神助、贏得考官青睞、走上人生巔峰。
一、破題關(guān)鍵
穿衣體現(xiàn)性格? 此類話題可以說是老生常談,在近十年前新托福 官方指南公布的題庫中就有類似的題目:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by external appearances.
你是否同意以下觀點(diǎn)?永遠(yuǎn)不應(yīng)該從外表判斷一個(gè)人。
People behave differently when they wear different clothes. Do you agree that different clothes influence the way people behave?
衣著不同,人們的表現(xiàn)也會(huì)不同。不同的衣著影響人們的行為方式,你同意嗎?
此后類似話題經(jīng)過反復(fù)包裝又在大陸、北美等各個(gè)考區(qū)多次出現(xiàn),因此認(rèn)真?zhèn)淇嫉母魑豢忌鷳?yīng)該對(duì)其并不陌生。
然而實(shí)戰(zhàn)證明,還是有相當(dāng)一部分考生因?yàn)榇祟}鎩羽而歸,甚至出現(xiàn)嚴(yán)重的跑題、偏題現(xiàn)象。其實(shí)破解此題的關(guān)鍵就在于嚴(yán)格按照題目原意表明觀點(diǎn)、分析論述??脊傧M忌?wù)摰氖谴┮路绞绞腔虿皇且粋€(gè)人個(gè)性、人品的體現(xiàn),而非應(yīng)該怎樣穿衣,或者穿名牌好不好,從衣著上攀比好不好等。因此圍繞“是或不是”進(jìn)行是非判斷,并配合大量舉例論證,說明什么樣的穿衣方式體現(xiàn)(或體現(xiàn)不出)什么樣的個(gè)性、人品,同時(shí)減少“應(yīng)該或不應(yīng)該”等價(jià)值判斷才是沖刺高分的關(guān)鍵。
二、論點(diǎn)分析
穿衣是否體現(xiàn)性格?此話題有很強(qiáng)的局限性,因此我們有以下兩種論述:
同意:穿衣方式是一個(gè)人個(gè)性、人品的體現(xiàn)。
【理由】:
穿衣風(fēng)格體現(xiàn)個(gè)性,例如喬布斯喜愛在產(chǎn)品發(fā)布會(huì)上穿著休閑襯衫,搭配牛仔褲,體現(xiàn)了他愛自由、愛創(chuàng)新的性格。
衣服的顏色體現(xiàn)個(gè)性,衣著顏色鮮艷的人,通常比較開朗活潑,經(jīng)常穿深色衣服的人,通常比較嚴(yán)肅。
衣服的設(shè)計(jì)體現(xiàn)個(gè)性,喜歡時(shí)裝品牌的人,通常比較前衛(wèi)時(shí)尚,喜歡穿著職業(yè)套裝的人,通常比較傳統(tǒng)保守。
反對(duì):穿衣方式不是一個(gè)人個(gè)性、人品的體現(xiàn)。
【理由】:
穿衣方式很多情況下是職業(yè)要求,例如警察、保安、學(xué)生等,統(tǒng)一的職業(yè)服裝不能體現(xiàn)出人的個(gè)性。
很多人由于工作繁忙、時(shí)間緊張并不在意衣著,因此隨意的穿衣方式不是個(gè)性的準(zhǔn)確體現(xiàn)。
有些人由于經(jīng)濟(jì)困難,并不能按照自己的意愿選擇穿衣方式,因此受經(jīng)濟(jì)條件限制的穿衣方式不是個(gè)性的準(zhǔn)確體現(xiàn)。
三、語料整理
During a job interview, for example, decisions have to be made very quickly. If the applicant dresses in bright color and shows his optimistic character, he will be more likely to get the position, although he might not be the best qualified candidate overall.
樂觀的:optimistic
合格的:qualified
People are all to often to draw conclusions based on prior experiences and stereotypes.
經(jīng)常是:all to often
得出結(jié)論:draw a conclusion
陳詞濫調(diào):stereotype
It is not difficult to imagine that doctors with the formal suit will certainly make their patients relaxed, for doctors in working hours are always supposed to be in white suits. An applicant in the first treatment will be naturally accompanied with great mental tension. So merely a suit in itself can not indicate the personality of a doctor.
工裝、正裝:formal suit
問診、治療:in treatment
伴隨著精神緊張:be accompanied with mental tension
A poor gentleman dressed in rags can not show up the fundamental moral disciplines which an educated individual must follow. He, without any doubt, knows the essential principles that a civilized individual must behave, but one penny for bread is the biggest problem that he should consider.
衣衫襤褸:be dressed in rags
道德準(zhǔn)則:moral discipline
毫無疑問:without any doubt, doubtlessly
