打折机票该不该买

Nowadays cheap air travel is increasingly popular in the world. To what extent do the advantages of this trend outweigh its disadvantages?

如今,价格低廉的打折航空旅行已经在世界范围内越来越为人们所接受。在何种程度上这一趋势的利大于弊?

解题

廉价飞行可以让更多的人有机会乘坐飞机,从提高效率和促进旅游业的发展来看应该是有利的,而且打折机票也并不见得就没有全价机票的座位舒服,很多时候其实不是你买得便宜而是别人买贵了。

反对廉价飞行值得一听的理由是坐飞机的人多了,有可能导致消耗更多的能源并产生更多的污染。但是FAA(美国联邦航空局)今年年初公布的研究结果显示:如果按照每位乘客行进每一公里的平均值来计算,那么汽车并非比飞机更节省燃料或者更环保(A car journey is not more fuel-efficient or environmentally-friendly than a flight in terms of the amount of fuel consumed or pollution produced per passenger per kilometer travelled.)。

所以,就连环保都无法构成反对买廉价机票的理由了。这名考生的用词造句能力并不算很出色,但是本文在论证扣题度与充实度方面做得不错,行文连贯性与衔接效果也较为自然,因此仍然能够达到7分的总体标准。

There was a time when air travel was only for the wealthy people and out of reach of the majority of citizens. But now low-cost flights are available in many countries. I believe this is,overall,a positive development.

The most obvious advantage of low-cost flights is their affordability . Some airline tickets are so cheap that they cost even less than the airport tax. This can certainly give more people access to air travel and help them to save money.

Low-cost air travel also contributes to the growth of tourism because it provides more tourists with the chance to travel by air . Time is valuable for tourists and most of them hope to spend more time in their destinations . Compared with a journey by train or by car ,low-cost flights save tourists a great deal of time. This means that they can have more time and energy to enjoy the attractions that they wish to visit.

Some people are worried that low-budget air travel may be less comfortable than regular flights . In fact,most low-cost flights provide the same seats as the seats offered to passengers on regular flights. Even if we feel unhappy with the seats,we can always get a better seat at a bit of extra cost.

Some other people may complain that cheap air travel consumes more fuel and causes more pollution. However,cheap air travel does not cause more damage to the environment than car rides or coach tours because passenger planes can carry far more people than cars and coaches do.

In conclusion,not only can cheap air travel offer us affordable flights,it can also give us greater convenience and more choices ,on which we cannot put a price tag .

■译文

航空旅行曾是富人们的特权,而超出大多数人能够企及的范围之外。但是现在,廉价航空已经可以在许多国家中被人们使用。我认为总的来说,这是一种积极的现象。

低价航空飞行最明显的好处就是易于承担的价位。有些机票甚至便宜到还没有机场税高。这无疑将使更多的人能享受价位合理的飞行旅行并且帮他们省钱。

低价航空旅行也能为旅游业的发展做出贡献,因为它使得更多的游客有机会使用航空旅行。时间对于游客们来说是非常宝贵的,而且多数游客都希望在目的地停留更久。比起火车或汽车旅行,廉价航空旅行帮游客节省了大量的时间,这意味着游客可以有更多的时间和精力去参观他们的景点。

有些人担心廉价航空旅行没有普通航空旅行那样舒服。实际上,大多数的廉价飞行为乘客提供的座位与乘坐常规航班的乘客们所获得的座位是一样的。即使我们真的感到不舒适,也总是可以通过多花一点额外的费用来调换一个更好的位子。

另一些人可能会抱怨:廉价航空旅行消耗更多的燃料并且导致更多的污染。 但是 因为飞行所承载的人数比小汽车和长途车更多,所以廉价航空旅行并不比开车或坐长途汽车的旅行对环境的危害更大。

总之,廉价的航空旅行不但能为我们提供可负担的飞行服务,还能为我们的生活带来更多的便利与更多的选择,这些好处是不能仅仅用金钱来衡量的。 dOtQZREQpp4hXDoq1Q7XslaMtSGQ8w26YHOYSSfH47eT4o/pBWP6jwze0huOeC8c
