Directions: Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay in which you should

　　1) describe the cartoon,

　　2) interpret its meaning, and

　　3) point out its implications in our life.

　　范文1：

　　This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on one's desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.

　　The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a reason.

　　In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric. A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.

　　譯文：

　　這幅畫(huà)很可笑，但引人注目。一位身體龐大的顧客在裁縫仔細(xì)地為他量尺寸準(zhǔn)備做衣服時(shí)，手里卻拿著一塊小得令人絕望的衣料。這幅畫(huà)告訴我們，一個(gè)人在執(zhí)行任務(wù)的過(guò)程中必須考慮到實(shí)際情況，僅從主觀意愿出發(fā)而不顧眼前的事實(shí)，是不可能成功的。

　　當(dāng)前大學(xué)生的就業(yè)率使我們意識(shí)到進(jìn)行合理思考的重要性，每年有大約300萬(wàn)大學(xué)生從學(xué)校畢業(yè)，尋找工作，他們中的很多人并沒(méi)有找到一份適合自己的工作，有一個(gè)原因是沒(méi)有足夠的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)提供給數(shù)量如此龐大的畢業(yè)生。但除此而外，過(guò)高的自我估計(jì)也是可能的原因之一。

　　為了能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)未來(lái)目標(biāo)，一個(gè)人必須做出合理的決定，并做好相應(yīng)的準(zhǔn)備。比如一個(gè)志在成為外科醫(yī)生的學(xué)生，就必須確保自己有臨床實(shí)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)和足夠的知識(shí)，換句話說(shuō)，顧客在購(gòu)買衣料前必須先量好準(zhǔn)確的尺寸，一個(gè)大塊頭是無(wú)法穿上一小塊布料的。

　　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.

　　譯文：

　　從圖中我們可以看到，一個(gè)裁縫正在給一位身材高大的人量身定做一件合適的衣服。在做任何事情都應(yīng)該預(yù)先籌劃，以便找到恰當(dāng)?shù)慕鉀Q辦法。如果這個(gè)裁縫不為這個(gè)人量尺寸，他就不能為他做出一件合適的衣服。

　　這個(gè)道理同樣適合解決其它任何問(wèn)題。首先，當(dāng)我們要了解某事的真相時(shí)，我們必須如實(shí)地對(duì)其描述，排除任何偏見(jiàn)與夸張，以便我們能夠得到真實(shí)的情況。其次，具體事物要具體分析，這樣我們才能夠抓住事物的規(guī)律。最后，事物的狀態(tài)是不斷變化的，所以我們應(yīng)當(dāng)“因地制宜，同時(shí)制宜。”總之，我們要從不同的角度看待問(wèn)題。

　　圖畫(huà)的內(nèi)涵對(duì)不同的人有著不同的意義。對(duì)于教師來(lái)說(shuō)，面對(duì)不同的學(xué)生要采取不同的教學(xué)方法;對(duì)于醫(yī)生來(lái)說(shuō)，要根據(jù)病人的不同病情采用相應(yīng)的治療方法;對(duì)于農(nóng)民來(lái)說(shuō)，面對(duì)不同的土地狀況要種植不同的作物。從哲學(xué)角度來(lái)說(shuō)，具體問(wèn)題要具體分析。好的結(jié)果總是來(lái)自對(duì)問(wèn)題的仔細(xì)分析。
