參考范文
As is depicted in the picture, weather is becoming so hot that the duck even feels that the pig smells like bacon. A little exaggerated though it sounds, it is an indisputable fact that global warming is becoming increasingly severe. 1
Global warming has negative effects on many aspects. 2 Firstly 3 , global warming may cause the icebergs to melt, which may lead to a rise in sea level. As a result, some island nations will be submerged by the sea. Secondly 3 , due to global warming, natural disasters occur frequently, such as floods, hurricanes and so on. Thirdly 3 , the ecological balance will be destroyed and many creatures will disappear for ever with the aggravation of global warming. Fourthly 3 , the cost to compensate for the loss caused by global warming will be huge.
In conclusion, global warming is a serious problem. We should pay more attention to it. Let’s take actions, start from ourselves, advocate the low-carbon way of life, and contribute our efforts to the protection of the planet. 4
正如圖中所描述的,氣候變得如此之熱,以至于圖中的鴨子甚至感到,它對(duì)面的豬已經(jīng)散發(fā)出熏肉的味道。 雖然聽起來有些夸張,但是全球變暖日益嚴(yán)重是不爭(zhēng)的事實(shí)。
全球變暖帶來的危害是多方面的。首先,全球變暖可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致冰山融化,海平面上升,結(jié)果,一些島國將被海水淹沒。第二,由于全球氣候變暖,洪水、颶風(fēng)等自然災(zāi)害頻發(fā)。第三,生態(tài)平衡將遭到破壞,許多生物會(huì)隨著全球變暖加劇而永遠(yuǎn)消失。第四,為彌補(bǔ)因全球變暖帶來的損失,我們將付出沉重的代價(jià)。
總之,全球變暖是很嚴(yán)重的問題,我們應(yīng)該更加重視這個(gè)問題。讓我們行動(dòng)起來,從自身做起,倡導(dǎo)低碳生活方式,為保護(hù)地球貢獻(xiàn)自己的力量。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 首段末句點(diǎn)明這幅漫畫的寓意:全球變暖日益嚴(yán)重。
2. 自然過渡,開始討論全球變暖帶來的危害。
3. 圍繞主題,分四個(gè)層次展開論述,有力支撐了全球變暖危害嚴(yán)重的觀點(diǎn)。
4. 末段呼吁人們對(duì)全球變暖給予足夠的重視,并倡導(dǎo)人們行動(dòng)起來,保護(hù)地球。
要點(diǎn)用法
exaggerated adj. 夸張的
submerge v. 淹沒
natural disaster 自然災(zāi)害
hurricane n. 颶風(fēng)
ecological balance 生態(tài)平衡
aggravation n. 惡化

advocate v. 提倡
low-carbon adj. 低碳的
句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. A little exaggerated though it sounds, it is an indisputable fact that global warming is becoming increasingly severe.
全句是包含though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句的復(fù)合句。though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句使用了倒裝語序,改成正常語序應(yīng)該是Though it sounds a little exaggerated。后半句為該復(fù)合句的主句,主句句首的it為形式主語,真正的主語是后面that引導(dǎo)的從句。
2. Let’s take actions, start from ourselves, advocate the low-carbon way of life, and contribute our efforts to the protection of the planet.
使用祈使句感召力更強(qiáng),take,start,advocate和contribute四個(gè)動(dòng)詞排比使用,更有氣勢(shì)。
