当问起世界上现在最大的问题是什么，许多人说是严重的能源危机。他们担心人类不久就会用完石油、发生食品短缺！但有些人则持乐观的看法。他们把能源危机看成是经济发展的自然结果，而且只有随着经济和技术的进一步发展才能得以解决。 2 when it comes to... , some people think that... . Others argue believe claim

I believe people no loner have faith in our ability to control own future. 人们普遍感到现在大多数人明显地有一种恐惧感。他们怕将来。如果问他们为什么怕，他们会很随意地怪原子弹。但我怀疑，核武器不过是我们害怕的替罪羊。我们怕将来不是因为有了原子弹，说我们怕原子弹，实际上是对未来没有信心。我认为这是人们自己是否有能力控制将来已经丧失信心了。

Ⅱ. 现象法

对某种社会现象、倾向或社会问题进行剖析的文章往往在文章一开始首先引出这种现象或问题，然后评论。本节句型就适用于这种开头 drawn/aroused public/popular/grave/world-wide attention rise in caused/aroused wide/general/considerable/international 1 Recently the Phenomenon ... has concern of arisen/loomed up/cropped up as controversial/as Problem of noteworthy/more distinctly for settlement 例：

Recently, the alarm about the problem of the use of genetic technologies on human beings have caused wide public concern, and understandably so. With nuclear energy threatening global catastrophe and with so many other technological advances visibly damaging the quality of life, who would wish to have scientists tampering with man’s inner nature? Indeed, fear of such manipulation may arouse even more anxiety than fear of death.

最近，有关把遗传技术用于人类自身而产生的问题的警示已引起了公众的广泛关注。这是可以理解的。核能开发正威胁着全球的生存，其他许多技术进步也正明显地危害省会的质量。在这种情况下，谁还会希望科学家来任意改变人体内部机能呢？确实，害怕对人类的操纵所引起的担忧可能会超过对死亡的害怕。 in the limelight issue 2 Recently the problem of... of... has been brought into focus question brought to public attention posed among the general public 例：

The problem of development vs. environment has now been in the limelight. Nowhere is the clash more visible than in China, where the world’s largest population faces pollution, deforestation and acid rain on a large scale.

One of the best qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like” I was wrong about that”, and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that”. 大多数人所佩服的比尔的最好品质之一，是敢于承认自己的错误。有时人们发觉很难开口说这样简单的话：“在这一点上是我错了。”而说：“我错了，你是对的。”则更难。
