08 belief

[bɪˈli:f] n.

人们的观念(belief)

belief语境含义

英语表达关键在于“神似”而不是“形似”。无论什么词性,只要能描述“核心概念”都可以生动地传达其语境含义。比如,我很了解什么,可以说I know a lot about..., 也可以说I have good knowledge of...;听音乐让我放松,可以说Listening to music relaxes me,也可以说It is relaxing to listen to music./Listening to music gives me relaxation. 无论中文是动词还是名词,只要描述“观念”的含义时都可以使用belief这个单词。

雅思话题及运用

1 教育

谈到青少年行为问题时,若想表达:毫无疑问,青少年行为标准有所下降。人们通常认为这主要是因为父母外出工作而无法监管孩子的结果。

英语可以表述为:There is no question that standards of behavior have fallen among teenagers. The popular belief is that the principal cause is that parents are unable to supervise their children because they are away at work.

2 人际关系

谈到生活趋势时,若想表达:现在越来越多的人选择独自生活。我认为家庭的变化是其根本原因,这会给社会造成负面的影响。

英语可以表述为:An increasing number of people are choosing to live by themselves. My belief is that the changing nature of the family is the root cause of this and that it will have a negative effect on society.

3 健康医疗

谈到健康医疗服务,若想表达:对于年幼而无法作出选择的孩子,理应由他们的父母来决定。这对于那些生活在禁止某些医疗介入如输血的国家的家庭尤为重要。在这种情况下,让政府去安排违背宗教信仰的事情理应是错误的。

英语可以表述为:For children who are too young to make their own choice, it is only natural that their parents should make that decision for them. This is particularly important for families that come from a culture where certain medical interventions such as blood transfusions are forbidden. In this case, it seems quite wrong for the government to order something that may go against religious beliefs .
