新概念4的写作总结

破海沧澜UID: 2401581

众所周知, 新4可以当作托福写作的经典, 但为了避免抄袭, 我们需要对其进行分析.
以下是我分析的其中的一篇:

46. Hobbies
A gifted American psychologist has said: Worry is a spasm of the emotion, the mind catches hold of something and will not let it go.” It is useless to argue with the mind in this condition, the stronger the will, the more futile the task. One can only gently insinuate something else into this convulsive grasp. And if this something else is rightly chosen, if it is really attended by the illumination of another field of interest, gradually, and often quite swiftly, the old undue grip relaxes and the process of recuperation and repair begins.

The cultivation(=development) of a hobby and new forms of interest is therefore(注意其插在中间的用法，很广泛而且很好！！注意实际使用它！)a policy of the first importance to a public man. But this is not a business that can be undertaken in a day or swiftly improvised by a mere command of the will. The growth of alternative mental interests is a long process. The seeds must be carefully chosen; they must fall on good ground; they must be sedulously tended, if the vivifying fruits are to be at hand when needed（因为文章是丘吉尔所写，这句话可以当作作文引用.）分号后面要达空格！！记牢！！
                                                                                      
To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: I will take this or that.” Such an attempt only aggravated the strain of mental effort（翻译：这样尝试只会加重精神上的负担.这个句子可、可以广泛地运用在托福作文中描写当今社会的人们由于选择了不好的习惯而加重了自身的某种负担，例如：Modern residents would like to stay in front of the television for a whole day during their vacation. However, such a movement only aggravates the strain of physical effort） A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet get hardly any benefit or relief,It is no use doing what you like, you have got to like what you do（名言哪！！引用！！）. Broadly speaking,（=generally speaking） human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering (it is no use doing sth.：做某事毫无意义，是一个不错的句型，注意在托福作文中使用) the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or professional or businessman, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry abouttrifling things（琐碎的事）at the weekend.

As for the unfortunate people who can command everything they want, who can gratify (satisfy) every caprice and lay their hands on almost every object of desire-for a new pleasure, an new excitement is only an additional satiation.In vain(徒劳地，相当于副词作用，可以提前) they rush frantically round from place to place, trying to escape from avenging boredom by mere clatter and motion. For them discipline in one form or another is the most hopeful path.

It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority.(与后面的But fortune’s favored children belong to the second class可以形成引用段落.) They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for（有做某事的强烈欲望，可以替换have a strong desire for sth.）pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune’s favored children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. (可以用来形容某人的生活长期幸福) For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays, when they come, are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both classes, the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.
