范文分析

開頭段

交代背景:科學家們倡導人們保持健康的生活方式,但還有很多人保持不健康的生活方式。

背景句:Currently, a great number of scientists and scientific reports have advocated a healthy lifestyle for the public. However, most of the population are still leading an unhealthy lifestyle and keeping physically-harmful habits.

寫作目的:Reasons for such phenomenon will be analyzed and relevant solutions will be offered as follows.

原因段 1

段落大意:對于健康生活方式的意識缺失和概念偏差導致了人們一直在采取不健康的生活方式。

主題句:Lack of awareness and conceptual bias in healthy lifestyles have led to people taking an unhealthy lifestyle.

遞進解釋:有很多人本來就沒有健康生活的意識和概念;大家對于”健康生活方式“的標準也各不相同。

Firstly, the absence of the awareness of a healthy lifestyle could be a fundamental cause. Due to the lack of scientific education and instruction, many people have no conception of a healthy lifestyle. Secondly, the disagreement on the conception itself, along with cultural and habitual differences, also results in divergent behaviours. Despite that scientists constantly offer advise, many people don’t even consider their suggestion as a fixed norm. Nevertheless, people would rather set their own standard when it comes to how to keep fit and live healthily.

原因段2

段落大意:有眾多客觀和主觀因素使人們難以實踐健康生活方式。

主題句:On the other hand, the practice of healthy lifestyle can be hindered by both objective and subjective factors, even though one is conscious of the existence of unhealthy habits.

遞進解釋:導致人們難以執(zhí)行健康生活方式的客觀外界因素包括工作和生活上的壓力;而主觀因素包括已形成的長期個人習慣如暴飲暴食、酗酒熬夜等。

The objective and external impediments include the increasing stress from work and urban life. Young professionals have to endure long hours of work and lack of personal time, which leads to sleep deprivation and insufficient time to cook healthy meals for themselves. The subjective obstacles usually originate from personal habits. Many people are already addicted to unhealthy lifestyles, such as overeating, excessively consuming high-calorie food and alcohol, and staying up late. Even if they attempt to adopt a healthier way, they would still find it a tough job due to the long existence of personal preferences.

解決方案段

從政府和媒體的角度為該問題提供解決方案:政府可制定政策敦促企業(yè)限制加班時間、鼓勵員工平衡生活與工作,并投資健身場所;媒體可加大對于醫(yī)學知識、健康飲食和健身養(yǎng)生的宣傳。

Possible solutions are offered in the perspectives of the government and media. The government should carry out policies to urge the employers to regulate extra working hours and encourage a work-life balance among employees. A certain amount of funding should also be invested in the construction and maintenance of sports venues and facilities to boost the citizens’ participation in outdoor activities. The media also play a significant role in the mission. More scientific and educational documentaries should be produced to inform people of medical knowledge, healthy diets and fitness regimes. Therefore, the audience could obtain helpful information from watching those productions on a daily basis.
