范文及解析

Introduction

There is no gainsayingthe significance of achievement in a person's life. While someopinethat successhinges onother elements like wealth and looks, others associate it with perseverance andendeavour. Personally, it is vital to weigh up both sides to the argument.

解析

本次考题是旧题，但是与上次相隔近十年，可以当作新题看待；整体难度不大，论述决定成功的不同因素，前后两者观点并不矛盾，两者都需要进行讨论，论述不同因素对于成功的影响力；

❖ there is no gainsaying 不可否认；

❖ opine v.以为，表示意见;

❖ hinge on 取决于;依赖于（某事物）;

❖ endeavour n.努力；尽力;

译文参考：

毫无疑问，成就在人生的意义上是至关重要的。虽然有些人认为成功取决于财富和外貌等其他因素，但也有人认为成功与毅力和努力有关。就我个人而言，权衡问题各种不同的因素至关重要。

Body 1

Some maintain that in order to succeed in life, one must beunfalteringandsedulous, as those possessing strongresolvetend to set high standards for themselves in their profession or studies. Those with strong determination are inclined to be more self-driven than those who lack ambition, meaning they will strain every nerve to accomplish the goal even though difficulties are in the way. Kobe, a legendary super star in NBA, once told journalists in an interview that hiscolossalsuccess was ascribed torelentlesspractice at 5 o’clock in the morning, rain or shine.

解析

(1) 生活中取得成功需要坚定不移和勤奋，因为那些具备强烈决心的人通常会给自己设定高标准;

(2) 富有决心的个体会全力以赴实现目标;

❖ Sedulous adj.勤勉的；勤苦工作的;

❖ resolve n.决心，坚定的信念；

❖ colossal adj.巨大的，非常的；

❖ relentlessadj.坚韧的，不屈不挠的；

译文参考：

有人认为，在生活中取得成功需要坚定不移和勤奋，因为那些具备强烈决心的人通常会给自己设定高标准，无论是在职业还是学习方面。这些富有决心的个体往往比缺乏雄心壮志者更具自我驱动力，意味着他们会全力以赴实现目标，即使道路上充满困难。科比作为NBA传奇巨星曾在一次采访中告诉记者，他之所以能够取得巨大成功归功于每天早上5点坚持不懈地练习，风雨无阻。

Body 2

On the other hand, others assert that one's success is attributed to external characteristics like physical appeal and financial resources. This stanceaccentuateshow having financial advantages may openentryways, provide people access totop-notcheducation where people acquire core andcutting-edgeknowledge favored by the society. This serves as a stepping stone for arosycareer after graduation. Comparably,predilectionin society forstunningappearances has a positivebearingon one’s career especially in certain professional fields. An actress of acomelyface, for example, can jump at the chance more easily in an audition and then star in ablockbustermovie, which brings a household name andprodigiouswealth to her overnight, the two well-acceptedparametersof success.

❖ prodigious adj.（范围，规模，程度）巨大的，庞大的;

❖parameter n.界限，范围；参数，变量；

译文参考：

另一方面，其他人则认为一个人的成功与外部特征相关，例如容貌和经济基础。这种观点强调了拥有财务优势如何打开机遇之门，并享受顶尖教育，在那里个体可以获得社会青睐的核心知识和前沿技能。这将为毕业后美好职业生涯奠定基础。同样地，在某些专业领域中社会对令人惊艳外貌的偏爱对个体职业发展产生积极影响。例如，在试镜过程中容貌出众的女演员更容易抓住机遇并成为主角出演一部大片，从而迅速走红并获得丰厚财富——这被广泛接受作为成功的两个指标。

Conclusion

Both points of view are valid, and there are instances from actual life that back them up. However, my conviction is that while money andphenomenalappearance may conduce to success in life, they can not be applied to everyone. Determination andindustriouswork, questionably, are decisive factors that canpropelpeople to extraordinary success.

解析

总结前文，明确作者观点；

❖ phenomenal adj.非凡的，杰出的；

❖ industrious adj.勤劳的，勤奋的；

❖ propel v.推进，驱动；

译文参考：

这两种观点都有各自的道理，而且现实生活中也有例子支持它们。然而，我相信，虽然金钱和惊人的外表可能有助于人生的成功，但它们并不适用于每个人。毫无疑问，决心和勤奋工作是推动人们取得非凡成功的决定性因素。
