真題分析:
在這道最新的考研題目中,出題漫畫較往年顯得更加生動有趣,寓意也十分明顯。在一位球員即將進球的瞬間,球員和守門員都顯得猶豫不決。球員認為守門員長得極其高大從而擋住了球門,使他的攻擊幾乎變成了“mission impossible”(不可能完成的任務)。同時,守門員卻覺得自己太渺小而球門太大,守門的任務十分艱巨,同樣也是“mission impossible”。對于有中文文化背景的學生來說,很容易就可以聯(lián)想到《孫子兵法》中說的“知己知彼,百戰(zhàn)不殆”,也就是說,只有充分了解自己和對手的所有優(yōu)缺點,我們才能夠有足夠的信心取得最終的勝利。從這一點上我們可以繼續(xù)引申,說明無論是個人、組織甚至對于國家來說,無論遇到什么情況,都要正確的評估自己以及具體事例的特點,從而充滿信心地去取得應該取得的成就。
思路拓展:
關(guān)于人生價值類的題目在短短幾年時間內(nèi)竟然考了兩次,這必須引起我們的高度重視。出題者的思路也是可以理解的,正在參加考研的大學生們都風華正茂,處于人生揚帆的關(guān)鍵時刻。這個時候大學生們需要樹立正確的世界觀、人生觀和價值觀,從而有助于他們在將來的人生道路上取得成功。
人生價值的內(nèi)容包羅萬象,有對成功的理解、對生活的態(tài)度、對知識和學習的定位等等,以及如何面對困境和挫折、如何正確認識金錢和人生的關(guān)系等等。這一類話題并不總是熱點話題,但又和許多領(lǐng)域緊密相連,特別是和教育領(lǐng)域的相關(guān)話題有關(guān)。同時,我們在許多社會現(xiàn)象中也可以發(fā)現(xiàn)人們不同的人生價值,媒體上也經(jīng)常組織相關(guān)的大討論,考生應予以密切關(guān)注。
范文:
This picture shows a critical moment that can occur in any soccer game—a players is about to kick the ball while the keeper is fully ready for the attack. Interestingly, the player and the keeper are experiencing quite opposite psychological processes: the player thinks the task is extremely difficult as the goal is quite small compared with the huge keeper, while the latter fears that the goal is too enormous for him to protect.
It is conspicuously indicated that in order to gain confidence and achieve success, we not only need to attain a thorough understanding of ourown merits and disadvantages of ourselves, but also those aspects of our opponents. Both the player and the keeper merely focus on their own faults and their counterparts’ advantages, leading to their hesitation at the key time.
In a recent interview of hurdler Liu Xiang, he revealed that his success is partly owed to his training team’s study of his strong competitors around the world, so that he can learn from the others and is more confident when facing any new race. Just as the ancient Chinese philosophical book The Art of War concludes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you’ll never lose a battle.
譯文:
該圖展示的是一場足球比賽中的關(guān)鍵時刻——一個球員正準備要進球,而守門員正全力準備回擊這次進攻。有趣的是,球員和守門員正在經(jīng)歷相反的心理歷程:球員認為這項任務非常艱巨,因為球門如此之小而守門員長得高達威猛;守門員卻害怕球門太大而他自己太渺小,很難保護球門。
這幅圖告訴我們,為了取得信心、達到勝利,我們不僅要對自己的優(yōu)缺點有充分的了解,而且還要對對手的優(yōu)缺點有充分了解。但是,圖中的球員和守門員只想到了自己的缺點和對手的優(yōu)點,因此在關(guān)鍵時刻躊躇不前。
在對著名中國運動員劉翔的一個最近的采訪中,他透露了自己的成功部分歸功于他的訓練隊詳細研究了他在世界各國的對手們的特點,因此他可以學習他人的優(yōu)點,于是面對比賽的時候更有信心。就像中國古代著名的兵書《孫子兵法》總結(jié)的那樣,知己知彼,百戰(zhàn)不殆。
