译文:
这幅画很可笑,但引人注目。一位身体庞大的顾客在裁缝仔细地为他量尺寸准备做衣服时,手里却拿着一块小得令人绝望的衣料。这幅画告诉我们,一个人在执行任务的过程中必须考虑到实际情况,仅从主观意愿出发而不顾眼前的事实,是不可能成功的。
当前大学生的就业率使我们意识到进行合理思考的重要性,每年有大约300万大学生从学校毕业,寻找工作,他们中的很多人并没有找到一份适合自己的工作,有一个原因是没有足够的就业机会提供给数量如此庞大的毕业生。但除此而外,过高的自我估计也是可能的原因之一。
为了能够实现未来目标,一个人必须做出合理的决定,并做好相应的准备。比如一个志在成为外科医生的学生,就必须确保自己有临床实习的机会和足够的知识,换句话说,顾客在购买衣料前必须先量好准确的尺寸,一个大块头是无法穿上一小块布料的。
范文2:
In the cartoon we can see a large person being measured by a tailor to get suitable clothes made. Anything to be done must be measured in advance so that we are able to find a proper way to do it. If the tailor does not take measurements of the man, then he would not be able to make suitable clothes for this person.
This same principle applies to solving any other problem. Firstly, when we want to know the reality of something, we must describe it like it is, getting rid of our prejudices and exaggerations, so that we can have an unbiased view. Secondly, the object should be analyzed in a concrete way so that we can grasp the reasons and rules of it. Thirdly, we must adapt our approach to solving a problem, for each situation is different from the others. So we must view a problem from different perspectives.
The cartoon implies different meanings to different people. A teacher should adopt different teaching methods according to the students in the class; a doctor should prescribe different treatments according to the patient's symptoms; a farmer should seed different plants according to the various conditions of the earth. From a philosophical point of view, dissimilar problems should be approached differently. Good results come from attentive analysis of a problem.
