　　Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend college at home or abroad, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　Living in a world which is full of changes and challenges,we are confronted with new problems every single day. Of all the issues, one might disturb the students the most, and it is if we have two options: to attend college at home or abroad. As for me, I prefer to choose the latter.

　　Why ,you may wonder , should I would like to study abroad ? The reasons responsible for it can be listed as follows.

　　Among the most important reasons cited by people is that to study abroad，directly or indirectly，can not only broaden our eyes and enrich our life experience，which is of great importance in one’s growth.

　　What’s more，to attend college abroad can give us an independent personality and more globalized vision towards the world, if it were not for those two attributes, how could we achieve great goals in this dog-eat-dog world .

　　Above all, in such a society where emphasis，more often than not ， is laid on quality of education and information, to study abroad , if we had the chance, must be a good choice.

　　To study abroad, so at least it seems to me, is preferable for those who have the ability to afford the fees, in the process of which we will develop an innovative thought mode .

　　As a proverb goes, there is no difficulty that an innovative thought mode can not solve, no door that an innovative thought mode can not open, no mountain that an innovative thought mode can not surmount.

　　【题目】

　　唐朝始于618年，终于907年，是中国历史上最灿烂的时期。经过三百年的发展，唐代中国成为世界上最繁荣的强国，其首都长安是世界上最大的都市，这一时期，经济发达，商业繁荣，社会秩序稳定，甚至边境也对外开放，随着城市化的财富的增加，艺术和文学也繁荣起来。李白和杜甫是以作品简洁自然而著称的诗人。他们的诗歌打动了学者和普通人的心，即使在今天，他们的许多诗歌仍广为儿童及成人阅读背诵。

　　【考点解析】

　　中文是一种动态的语言，而英文偏静态。这就决定了两种语言在表达上的差异，中文多习题用动词，而英文则多用名词和介词。把握了这一点的情况下，我们在翻译的时候，一个句子当出现多个动词时，可以用并列结构来呈现，也可以用名词性短语来替换，例如，原文中提到“这一时期，经济发达，商业繁荣，社会秩序稳定，甚至边境也对外开放”时，中间的这四个动宾短语“经济发达，商业繁荣，社会秩序稳定，甚至边境也对外开放”，就可以改用名词性短语来替换，即为“developed economy, commercial prosperity, stable social order, and even the border open to the outside world”。此外，汉译英有些表达，有些高大上的词不会表达，我们可以用稍为简单的词来替换，考场上要随机应变，考场下要夯实基础，注重积累。祝各位考生朋友顺利通过英语六级考试!
