       12月4日雅思大作文真题参考范文 | 是否应该牺牲当代给下一代环境优化？

　　The key to solving environmental problems is simple: the present generation is to accept a less comfortable life for the sake of the future generation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　高分范文及解析

　　Introduction

　　Should this generation lead a simpler way of life for the purpose of providing the later generation with a more liveable environment? Personally, I tend to side with the answer “no”.

　　解析

　　去年的老题重现，站不同意。另外也曾有过相似话题讨论，读者可以自己类比一下：Development in science and technology has caused environmental problems. Some people say that a simpler way of life will protect the environment, while others believe that science and technology can solve environmental problems. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

　　Ø liveable adj. 宜居的

　　Ø side with vi. 站在…一边

　　Body 1

　　Admittedly, people who advocate that the present generation should sacrifice their comfortable life do have a point. One of the reasons why we should do so is that the environment has been impacted by human activities to a large extent. When we start to alter our current lifestyle and live in a simpler way, such as cycling or taking public transit more instead of travelling around by private cars, sorting and recycling refuse whenever possible, consuming only locally produced goods to avoid long distance delivery, and using less air-conditioning and heating systems for the sake of saving energy, environment problems can be mitigated considerably. What can serve as a compelling example is that people have been forced to take part of the aforementioned measures during the outbreak of COVID-19, with plants and animal species thriving in the sound natural environment.

　　解析

　　让步(当代人牺牲一下的好处)：具象化所谓的“a less comfortable life”: 少用私家车、少用空调、少远距离运输等 → 环境改善

　　Ø sacrifice vt. 牺牲

　　Ø impact vt. 影响

　　Ø refuse n. 垃圾

　　Ø compelling adj. 令人信服的

　　Ø aforementioned adj. 前面提到的

　　Ø thrive vi. 繁荣;欣欣向荣

　　Body 2

　　However, the above arguments are quite short-sighted, indicating that behind such practice are more drawbacks. The most distinct one is that taking those actions will bring both economic growth and technology advancement to a standstill. More accurately, accepting a less comfortable life to a large extent means compelling this generation to enjoy less convenience brought by advancing technology and thus working in a rather lower efficiency, which, in the long term, will demotivate researchers to implement scientific research for technology progresses and shackle the industrial growth. By stark contrast, if people maintain their current lifestyle, both economic and technology development will be spurred, offering better prerequisites to resolving environment crisis. This will lead to a win-win result with both this generation and their offspring enjoying a better living environment.

　　解析

　　反驳：这一系列的措施的不便利性带来的低效，反而会造成经济停摆，阻碍科技进步 [对比论证] 保留现有的生活方式 → 促进科技发展从而解决环境问题 → 让当代人和后辈都享受更好的环境

　　Ø bring sth. to a standstill静止(状态); 停顿，停滞

　　Ø compel vt. 迫使

　　Ø implement vt. 实施

　　Ø shackle vt. 阻挠

　　Ø spur vt. 刺激;促进

　　Ø prerequisite n. 先决条件

　　04

　　In the light of the above, the final verdict is quite crystal-clear. The pros of the current generation’s sacrifice of a comfortable life pale into insignificance when set against the cons.

　　解析

　　重申观点：商店正常售卖合法产品，个人决定买不买。

　　Ø verdict n. 意见;结论

　　Ø pale into insignificance 使显得不那么重要;使相形见绌
