1.When asked about the ongoing uproar involving U.S. President Bill Clinton ,most people say the affair involves a purely private matter . But many other people regard his actions as deplorable . I personally think the president committed impeachable offences .

　　當被問及對現(xiàn)在有關(guān)美國總統(tǒng)比爾?克林頓的沸沸揚揚的議論有什么看法時，大多數(shù)人認為這種曖昧關(guān)系純屬私事。但是，還有很多人認為他的行為應(yīng)當受到譴責。我個人認為總統(tǒng)犯了這些過錯，應(yīng)該被指控。

　　2. When it comes to the increasing use of motor vehicles in Beijing ,some people think that use should be limited . Others argue that the opposite is true . There is probably some truth to both arguments,but emission controls must be instituted regardless of the number of vehicles.

　　涉及北京機動車使用量增加這一問題，有的人認為應(yīng)該限制使用。另一些人持相反意見。也許雙方的觀點都有一定道理，但是，無論車輛多少，必須對廢氣排放實行控制。

　　3. There is a general debate nowadays about the problem of itinerant workers . Those who object to the rising migrant population argue that increasing numbers lead to rising crime rates and harm social stability . They believe that strict limits should be placed on migrants entering China ' s cities . But people who favor the influx of the cheap labor force ,on the other hand,maintain that migrants are needed to support the massive urban infrastructure construction program .

　　目前，針對流動工人的問題展開了普遍的爭論。反對流動工人增加的人認為這會導(dǎo)致犯罪率升高，從而危害社會穩(wěn)定。他們主張應(yīng)該嚴格限制進入中國城市的流動工人。但是，另一方面，支持廉價勞動力流入的人主張，為了支持大規(guī)模的城市基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)規(guī)劃，流動人口是必需的。

　　4. It is widely acknowledged that extensive deforestation contributed to heavy summer flooding . Experts argue that China must introduce a massive afforestation program . But I doubt whether afforestation alone will solve the problem .

　　人們普遍認為過度砍伐造成了夏季特大洪水。專家認為中國必須推行大規(guī)模的植樹造林計劃。但我對僅僅植樹造林就能解決問題表示懷疑。

　　5. Most people are of the opinion that wealth provides solutions to all problems . But in spite of the material benefits wealth provides, I believe one should abandon the pursuit of materialism and instead concentrate on the pursuit of happiness .

　　大多數(shù)人認為財富為所有問題提供解決的辦法。但是，我認為，盡管財富提供物質(zhì)上的利益，一個人應(yīng)該放棄物質(zhì)至上的追求，而是集中精力追求幸福。

　　6. Many people believe that capital punishment deters crime . But although criminologists have conducted exhaustive research regarding the subject ,little evidence exists to support the claim .

　　很多人相信極刑能阻止犯罪。但是，雖然刑事學(xué)家就這一課題做了詳盡的研究，幾乎沒有證據(jù)能支持這種說法。

　　19. Perhaps no issues are more controversial than euthanasia and abortion ,both of which involve taking the life of a human being .

　　也許沒有問題比安樂死和人工流產(chǎn)更有爭議性，它們都涉及結(jié)束一個人的生命。

　　20. Never before in history has the issue of overpopulation been more evident than now .

　　歷史上，人口過剩的問題從來沒有比現(xiàn)在更加突出。
