劍橋雅思11 Test4大作文題目

Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal. Some people, however, think that other types of progress are equally important for a country. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

英國人的解析

討論觀點1

1. It is commonly accepted that governments have a right to tax citizens in return for the provision of services. Thus, the relationship between governments and their citizens is primarily transactional and economic.

政府有權利向人民收稅，相應地要向人民提供服務，這一點是普遍接受的。所以，從跟本上講，政府和人民的關係，本來就是交易性的，經濟性的。

2. One could reasonably assert that, while governments do have the role of developing society in other spheres, this role should remain subordinated to its overarching objective of economic progress.

我們可以合理地斷言，雖然政府確實扮演著促進社會發展的角色，影響著其他領域，但是這些領域的發展應該服從於經濟發展這個大目標。

討論觀點2

1. Citizens have a diverse range of opinions as to what constitutes progress in other spheres – social, moral, cultural – and as a result, it is not for governments to dictate policy goals to their citizens in these areas.

社會、道德和文化等非經濟領域如何發展，人們有著多種多樣的見解。因此，在這些領域，政府無法給人們強加一些政策目標。

2. Human life cannot be fully compartmentalised into the economic and non-economic. Inevitably, economic issues impinge on the other spheres of life mentioned above – and vice versa.

人們的生活無法完全地分割成經濟方面的和非經濟方面的部分。不可避免的，經濟問題會侵犯上面提到的其他領域；反之亦然。

3. Most political parties stand for election on ideological platforms which govern - to a greater or lesser degree - how they intend to use public money once in office. The state is widely expected to safeguard national security and the health of citizens; the economic costs of achieving these aims are generally regarded as secondary.

大多數政黨為了競選站上了思想意識的平台，這些平台或多或少管理了政黨上位後打算如何使用金錢。人們指望著國家來保衛國土安全，人民的健康。實現這些目標的經濟成本，普遍被看作是次級的。
