6月4日的托福作文考题
Because the world today is just so busy and crowded, we should not expect people to be polite to one another.
当今社会纷纷扰扰 是否应该做到 ‘ 讲文明 树新风 懂礼貌’?
这道考题,看起来很有时代气息. 而西方文化中的 be polite 是不是局限在 对行为规范的礼貌?
该怎么写呢?
很多时候, from western culture, we also regard ‘ be polite’ as being conformed to authority. What is to conform with the authority?
It is to follow the mainstream. To listen to the authority’s views, to agree with the church, and to allow the so called ‘ leaders’ to give out orders 也是一种 ‘be polite’. 所以, 当我们要表达not being polite 的时候, 可以写到的论述点很多.
比如, 哥白尼, 提出的日心说, 而不是服从教会之前的地心说.
比如, rosa park 掀起的女权运动, 而不是给白人让座.
比如, 呼吁公平的工作机会, 男女平等. 都是对those who are in the authority 的一种 impolite.
其他角度
当然, 同样, 我们可以论述到, 在课堂中, 同学们和教授之间需要保持友好沟通. 商人之间的洽谈需要有效而有礼仪, 以及医患关系的和睦发展.
