　　Silence Is Gold

　　1. 許多場合中“沉默是金”是正確的

　　2. 但也有例外的情形

　　3. 結論

　　【范文】

　　When we talk of the famous proverb "Silence is Gold", we should not simply label it as right or wrong, but explore it in depth.

　　This proverb is especially true under several situations. First, if we have made a promise not to let out a secret, we should always keep silent. Second, we should avoid talking over facts or statistics of which we are not sure. Third, whenever we are expressing our ideas, brevity is the soul of wit and talking too much will always lead to faults and mistakes.

　　Nevertheless, there are also some exceptions. If we find out a flaw in other's speaking or writing, we should not hesitate a moment to point it out. And to friends or acquaintances seeking advice, we should feel free to help them.

　　In a word, we can draw the conclusion that in most cases "silence is gold", but in certain circumstances, talking is the right choice.

　　【點評】

　　本文的特色在于其并未完全肯定或完全否定所提到的諺語，而是從正、反兩個方面去分析，即第二段指出其正確性，第三段談例外情況;末段總結，呼應全文。

　　范文首先提出所要討論的諺語“沉默是金”。第二段分三個方面闡述其正確性，即發誓保守秘密，對于不確定的事情要保持沉默，而在表達自己的思想時，力求簡潔。第三段指出例外，為別人指出錯誤或為朋友等提建議時，不要堅持“沉默是金”。末段總結，呼應第二、三段。

　　第一段中的label...as...表示“將……看作……”，而explore... in depth表示“深入探究……”。第二段第一點中的make a promise表示“允諾”，let out a secret表示“泄露秘密”，keep silent表示“保持沉默”;第三點中的brevity is the soul of wit也是個諺語，表示“言貴簡潔”。第三段第二點中的acquaintance指“熟人”。

　　January , 2010

　　Dear Sirs,

　　I am writing you this letter to show my keen interest in the post of assistant manager which you advertised in yesterday's China Daily for, as is indicated in the enclosed resume, my major and experiences closely parallel your requirement.

　　I have always been a top student in my specialized area, biochemistry. I took several other courses in my spare time and excelled in all of them due to my hard work. I am sure such courses as British and American literature and culture, business management and statistics will lend me an edge in the fierce competition in the job market. Another point I want to draw your attention to is that I have been taking an active part in a variety of campus activities. In the due process teamwork spirit has been enhanced and my interpersonal skills improved.

　　I would like to meet you at your earliest convenience and discuss the possibility of working with your company. Or, if you are too busy these days, you can contact me at 64543575 for further information. Thank you for your favorable consideration.

　　Best wishes.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Jenny Green

　　【點評】

　　這篇文章是一篇非常成功的求職信。首段表明了自己對經理助理這一職位的渴望，其中包括了自己如何得知這一職位的，而后說明自己的條件符合要求，引起下段。次段分五句，說明自己在專業上是個尖子生，并指出對于其他課程自己做得同樣出色，為將來的工作奠定了堅實的基礎;后兩句說明自己參加了各種學校活動，培養了多方面的能力。第三段首句說明自己非常希望能早日獲得面試的機會;次句說如果對方太忙，可以打電話聯系;末句對對方表示感謝，是一句客套話。

　　首段中的keen表示“熱切的”， parallel這里做動詞，表示“與……相當，比得上”。第二段首句中的specialized area表示“專業領域”;第二句中的excel是不及物動詞，表示“突出，超常，勝過他人”;第三句中的edge表示“優勢”;第四句中的a variety of等于various,表示“多種多樣的”;第五句中的teamwork spirit表示“團隊精神”，interpersonal skills表示“人際交往的能力”。
