范文:
People have the illusion that they can do anything with money. Just as what is shown in the picture, by paying a penalty, people can give birth to more children, factories can let out the polluted air directly without any treatment, and trees can be felled at will.
This is a very serious social problem. Compared with other countries, China has a larger population but more limited resources. If everybody behaves in the similar way, it would be far beyond the countrys capacity to guarantee everyone a well-off life. Moreover, it was reported that to bring up one child costs 350,000 yuan, which means that a family with several children bears a heavy burden. Meanwhile, if factories do not take any measure to treat the polluted air, the atmosphere will be further contaminated. Also, the felling of trees will surely lead to soil erosion, while frequently occurring sand storms are humans deserved punishment for deforestation.
Though taxtation is one of the methods to punish this sort of behavior, it is never the only way. Solving these problems reflected in the picture depends largely on our responsibility to society and environment. If the sense of responsibility is greatly aroused, harmony between man and the environment will not be far away.
译文:
现今很多人认为用钱就可以做所有的事情。正如图中所示的那样,通过付罚款,人们可以超生,工厂可以不经过处理就排放废气,树木也可以被随意地砍伐。
这是一个非常严重的社会问题。相比其他国家,中国有更多的人口而资源却非常有限。如果每个人都用这种方式行事的话,那么这个国家远远没有能力让每个人都过上富裕的生活。此外,有报道称要培养一个孩子需要花费3万5千元,这意味着一个有许多孩子的家庭将承受很沉重的负担。同时,如果工厂不采取措施处理废气的话,大气层会被进一步污染。另外,树木砍伐会导致土地的腐蚀和水土流失,频繁发生的沙尘暴就是人类过度砍伐森林应得的惩罚。
尽管罚款是惩罚这些行为的一种方法,但绝不是唯一的方法。解决这个问题更重要的一点在很大程度上取决于我们对于社会和环境的责任。如果能够唤起广泛的责任感,那么我们离达到人与自然之间的和谐就不远了。
