专四范文:
University Education Should Be Available for All
每个人都应接受高等教育
Many people propose the idea that higher education should be available to only qualified students-students with certain aptitudes, who have achieved an excellent academic performance. However, I beg to differ for the following reasons.
许多人建议,只有合格的学生(有某种能力的学生)才能接受高等教育,这些学生学习成绩优异。然而,我想通过下面的原因阐释我的不同观点。
To begin with, the general level of education nationwide has always been employed as a criterion to gauge how advanced or developed a society is. In an ideal egalitarian society, everyone should be able to receive higher education unless he willingly forgoes that option. In other words, education should not be viewed as a privilege enjoyed only by people who are endowed with certain talents. Furthermore, it would be tremendously beneficial to any society if the general public rather than the fortunate few can enjoy higher education. A wide range of social issues can be effectively remedied by a high-quality education which imparts crucial moral principles. In addition, a great amount of economic value can be generated if higher education is available to more people. Yet, I also concede that it may not be practical or realistic to provide higher education to everyone owing to limited financial as well as human resources. Not even the most affluent nation in the world can fulfill that objective at this stage.
首先,在全国范围内,受教育的一般水平经常被作为衡量社会进步和发展的程度的标准。在一个理想的平等主义社会,每个人都应受到高等教育,除非本人自愿放弃这种权利。换言之,教育不能被看作是仅供那些有某种天赋的人享有的特权。而且,如果大多数人而不是少数幸运的人接受高等教育的话,对任何社会都会大有裨益。大范围的社会问题将会通过高素质教育来有效弥补,因为高素质教育教会了学生重要的道德准则。此外,如果更多的人能够接受高等教育,就能产生大量的经济价值。然而,我也承认,由于财政和人力资源的有限性,每个人都接受高等教育是不切实际的,是不现实的。即使是世界上最富裕的国家在这个阶段也不能实现这一目标。
In the final analysis, I believe that the more people who can receive higher education, the better off a society will be. (225 words).
最后,我相信接受高等教育的人越多,社会就将越富裕。(225字)
