2.耐心的重要性(the Importance of Patience)

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying,“There is no great achievement that is not the result of patient working and waiting.”You can cite one example or two to illustrate the importance of patience. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

范文:

living in an era of information explosion, a growing number of people have too much desire but too little patience. However, provided that we intend to acquire and enjoy long-term progress and happiness, it is advisable for us to be the quality of patience.

On the one hand, patience, without a doubt, is like a stepping stone which enhances people’s resilience of dealing with difficulties, ensures more fruitful results, and enables them to go further on the way of success. A typical example is Edward Gibbon, a worldly renowned historian, who worked twenty years on the historic classicDecline and Fall of the Roman Empire; Another is Noah Webster spent thirty six years on his dictionary. On the other hand, for college students like us, without perseverance, we are prone to confine ourselves to low-efficiency and poor abilities. In fact, it is patience that lays a solid foundation for our academic success, as well as for us to be qualified job applicants in the future.

We, as youngsters, should bear in mind that when we encounter any adversities in life, work or study, only by working hard and wait patiently until the last minute, can we possibly see the advent of success. An enlightening saying shall be kept in mind, “There is no great achievement that is not the result of patient working and waiting.”

参考译文:

生活在一个信息爆炸的时代,越来越多人有太多的欲望,但有太少的耐心。然而,假如我们想要获得并享受长久的进步和快乐,那么我们就应该具备耐心的品质。

一方面,毫无疑问,耐心提高人们应对困难的适应能力,确保更加丰硕的成果,并且帮助他们在成功的道路上走得更远。一个典型的例子是世界著名历史学家爱德华·诺亚,他用二十年才完成了历史经典《罗马帝国衰亡史》;另一个例子是诺亚·韦伯斯特,他用了三十六年才编写完《韦氏词典》。另一方面,对于像我们一样的大学生而言,如果没有耐心,我们很容易就会陷入到低效率和差能力的境地。事实上,正是耐心奠定了学生们的学业成功的基础,也为他们将来成为有能力的求职者奠定基础。

作为年轻人,我们应当牢记当我们遇到任何生活,工作或学习中的苦难时,只有通过努力和耐心地等到最后一秒,我们才可能看到成功的到来。应当牢记一句发人深思的名言,“没有任何一项成不是源自于耐心滴工作和等候。”
