心態哲理類(2011年12月六級真題)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Way to Success by commenting on Abraham Lincoln’s famous remark,“Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
The Way to Success
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree , and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”Abraham Lincoln once said. Although four hours seem to be quite a long time, it can help people chop down the tree more smoothly and less laboriously in the rest two hours. It is obvious that a full preparation can enhance the efficiency of trees-chopping.
The saying aims at informing us of the significance of adequate preparation. Definitely , we can’t emphasize the importance of full preparation too much in our pursuit of success. A full preparation enables us to achieve our objectives and realize our dreams more smoothly and rapidly. The more preparation we make, the more likely we are to become confidence, reduce the risks of failure and seize the fleeting opportunities. For example, when graduates hunt for jobs, it is those who are well prepared that can surpass other candidates and get the offer finally.
Accordingly, at no time should we overlook the power of preparation. Besides, we need to set up a proper goal, carry out a full investigation and elaborate a detailed plan before we take actions. “Preparation breeds success.” Benjamin Franklin also once said. (200 words)
參考譯文：
“給我留個小時砍掉一棵樹，那么我會花前面的四個小時來磨斧子。”亞伯拉罕.林肯曾經說過。雖然四個小時看起來是挺長的一段時間，然而它卻可以幫助人們在剩余的兩個小時內更加順利和省力地砍掉樹木。很明顯，充分的準備工作可以提高砍樹的效率。
這句話目的在于高速我們充分準備的重要性。確實，沒有人可以否認充分準備在我們追求成功過程中的重要性。充分準備可以使我們更加順利和快速地達成目標、實現夢想。我們做的準備越多，我們就更有可能變得自信、減少失敗的風險并且抓住稍縱即逝的機會。舉個例子，當畢業生在找工作的時候，正是那些做了充分準備的人才可以超越其他的候選人并且最終贏得工作機會。
因此，我們任何時候都不能忽略充分準備的重要性。并且，在我們采取任何行動之前，我們都應該設定合適的目標，展開充分的調查并且制定詳細的計劃。本杰明.富蘭克林也曾經說過：“成功孕育于準備當中。”
