歷年天津高考作文題目

　She said that Derek had decided in his early 20s that he wanted to be a journalist and simply refused to take no for an answer. He more or less took up residence outside the newspaper of his choice, bombarding it with e-mails, until eventually he was allowed in as an unpaid intern. He financed his journalism by working night shifts as a hospital porter, until eventually he was offered a job.
　　她說(shuō)，德里克20歲出頭就決定，他希望成為一名記者，且壓根不接受“不行”這樣的答復。他幾乎是住在他所中意的報社門(mén)外，用電子郵件對其進(jìn)行狂轟亂炸，直到最后被錄用為一名沒(méi)有報酬的實(shí)習生。他靠夜間在一家醫院當門(mén)童來(lái)獲取經(jīng)濟來(lái)源，直到最終拿到了正式合同。
　　We all love an underdog story, and this one vastly cheered me up. All the more so because it seems to belie the conviction of every pushy parent that if a child puts one foot wrong academically they have blown it for life. Both in London and New York there is this feverish notion that the journey to success starts at around three years old. It is vital to get a child into the right nursery school that will get them into Harvard or Cambridge or wherever. And if the child does not land up with straight A grades then clearly their chances of success in life are very low indeed.
　　我們都愛(ài)聽(tīng)失敗者的故事，上面這個(gè)故事令我興奮不已。更重要的原因在于，這似乎有悖于每一位望子成龍的家長(cháng)的看法，即如果孩子在學(xué)業(yè)上步入歧途，他們的一生就毀了。無(wú)論在倫敦還是紐約，都存在著(zhù)一種狂熱的觀(guān)念：即通往成功之路始于3歲左右。讓孩子進(jìn)入合適的托兒所，對于他們將來(lái)進(jìn)入哈佛(Harvard)或劍橋之流的學(xué)府至關(guān)重要。而如果孩子最終未能連續取得A等成績(jì)，那么他們一生獲得成功的機會(huì )顯然會(huì )非常低。
　　This tiresome hysteria has got worse in one generation. When I was at school and at university there was a lot of opportunity for screwing up, and most of us availed ourselves of it at one point or another. In fact, if you cruised effortlessly from one academic triumph to another you were regarded as rather dull. As a schoolgirl, not only did I fail to get straight As, I didn't get any As at all – though I did get an F and even a U (for unclassified).
　　對于一代人而言，這種令人生厭的歇斯底里式的想法愈發(fā)嚴重。在我上中學(xué)和大學(xué)時(shí)，有的是把我一生搞砸的機會(huì )，而我們大多數人也或早或晚地利用了這種機會(huì )。實(shí)際上，如果你不費吹灰之力就接連取得學(xué)業(yè)上的成功，你會(huì )被視為一個(gè)相當無(wú)趣的人。上學(xué)期間，我不僅沒(méi)有連續獲得A等成績(jì)，甚至連一個(gè)A都沒(méi)拿到過(guò)——我還拿過(guò)一個(gè)F，甚至一個(gè)U（代表不予評級，比F還差）。
