范文赏析

Getting Married in College

Since 2005 the ban was lifted by the Department of Education on college students’ getting married, it has been a hot topic for students, parents and educators and their attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view and others think differently. In my view, I believe they’d better not get married for the following reasons.

引言部分：作者提出热议话题：在校大学生现在允许结婚了，并提出自己的观点：他们最好不要结婚 ，用following reasons 引出下文。

First and foremost, though mostly adults, college students are actually immature psychologically . Their wishes to get married are, more often than not , impulses. I admit that it is a basic right for those who have reached the appropriate ages to get married marriage is more solemn and requires more than just reaching the age. In addition, the university or college is a place to study instead of a community to lead a family life. Allowing college students to get married would adversely affect their study. For instance, they would spend too much time attending to their family and love, thus unable to concentrate on their school work. Besides, as tudents, they are not ready to support a family financially.

主体部分：作者从几个方面述了反对的理由，而且在说明自己的观点的同时也提及了支持者的观点。这种对比可以更加凸显这一话题的争议性，同时更体现了作者做出这样选择的慎重性 。

Weighing the arguments of both sides, I would still say “no” to getting married in college, though it’s their legal right.

总结部分：作者经过衡量，选择持反对观点。这里使用的 weighing the arguments of both sides 呼应了前段第一条理由提及的“人权”或 “法定婚龄”，使结论显得更客观。

亮点回放

1.  ban :  “禁止、禁令 ” ，可以做名词和动词 ，此处为名词，注意与之搭配的介词为on ， 表示“对 ……的禁令”。

2.  lift: 一般表示“举起 、抬起” ，此处表示“解除（封锁 、禁令等 ）”。

3.  hot topic: “热议话题” ；此处topic可以用issue替代 ，不过topic更普遍随意些 。

4.  hold: “持有（观点 ）” ；此处hold the positive/negative view也可以写成be for/against sth. ，表示  “持同意或反对意见”。近义词为think, maintain, claim, believe, consider ，都可以引导表示观点的从句 。

5.  immature psychologically: “心理上不成熟”。

6.  more often than not: “往往 、多半” ，常用作插入语 。

7.  a severe violation  of: “对 ……的严重违背” ；此处也可以用动词形式severely/seriously violate ，不过用名词形式更为正式 。

10. attend to: “专注于、照料” ；注意此处的to为介词，后面接名词或动名词 。此处也可以用更常见的take care of来替代 。

11. weigh : “称重、衡量”；此处表示“衡量”， “weighing the arguments of both  sides, I believe/think...”常用来引出自己观点 ，同学们可以借鉴 。

12. say  “no”to: “对 ……说不” ，表示反对意见 ，近义词为oppose/disagree with/disapprove of等，反义词为say“yes”to ，此处to为介词 ，后面接名词或动名词 。
