(185words)中文译文：我觉得你应该对商品过度包装现象也不陌生。在我们生活的周围，我们随处可见这样的例子：小电脑包装在一个又厚又重的纸板盒里，衣服包装在设计精美的塑料袋里，月饼通常也放在精致的包装盒里。这个问题的原因到底是什么？ 首先，很多制造商为了获得更多的经济利益，通常都将商品用不必要却吸引人的包装里，目的在于吸引顾客的注意力，唤起他们的好奇心然后刺激他们的消费欲望。另一方面，相当多的顾客认为，包装越精致，产品的质量就越高，这个想法也加剧的了商品过度包装的趋势。为了改变这个现状，我认为应该采取以下的措施，首先，必须制定是执行相关的法律限制商品过度包装；其次，我们应该开展广泛的教育运动唤起人们的意识，那就是，包装不等于产品质量。只有这样我们才能杜绝这种趋势。 2 Nowadays, with the rapid development of national economy and elevation of cultural demands, more and more commodities with luxury packaging appear in stores or supermarkets. Lots of people select these commodities to present as gifts to bosses, friends or relatives at festivals.This phenomenon, which resulted by several factors, arouses hot discussions among people. One of these reasons is the psychology of extravagance-showing among people of all ranks. They tend to feel inferior if their presents look common and simple. On the other hand, lots of merchants, out of the consideration of their commercial profits, use all their efforts to promote their goods, which need to be luxuriously packaged as to meet the demands of market. Last but not the least, some people select these over packaging commodities to please their bosses in order to get a promotion.Overall, this phenomenon is an outcome of the market economy. It can promote the development of economy, but, at the same time, leads to the corruption of social morality. We should take all measures to reduce the production of these commodities as to control social environment. 3 In recent years, with the economy growing, all kinds of goods are flowing into our life. The packaging of goods becomes more and more attracting our eyes. However, the problem of excessive packaging has aroused peoples wide concern.This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons. For one thing, the business has seen through the mind of most consumers who are face-saving, for they thought that the more beautiful the packaging of goods is, the best people like. For another thing, excessive packaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheap commodity by improving price. Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form far outweighs the content.In my opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorate its appearance. So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation. Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have a rational and pure shopping condition, making our money cost worthwhile. 4 On Excessive PackagingWandering at the supermarkets, you could find that the shelves are filled with fancy and excessively-packaged goods with high price, especially when festivals approach. Although the government has much concerns over this issue, the phenomena are still common.The reasons can be listed as follows. First, manufacturers could benefit from the over-packaging. Fancy packaging would increase the price to a large extent, from which they can earn more money. Secondly, some of the goods are brought and sent as gifts to our relatives and superiors. Gorgeously packaged gifts would be more attractive and add “face” to the one who buys and sends them.From my point of view, excessive packaging is a waste of resources and money. Most people would throw the package away after they open it, which would lay heavier burden to our environment. To prevent this, every citizen should be aware of the problem, and strict laws must be made or reinforced to restrict the manufactures from excessive packaging.【解析】本次写作延续了传统的出题方式，即英文题目+ 中文解析，但同时也继续了去年的一点小改动，对字数作了明确的限定。对于考生而言，商品过度包装本身已是日常生活的热点话题，大家比较熟悉，能有较多发挥空间。在写作过程当中，最重要的是要理清思路，将文章的逻辑关系理清。范文中，作者第一段描述了这一现象；第二段中，开篇便点出了主题，一目了然，列出了出现这一现象的原因；最后一段里，作者发表总结了自己的一些观点。全文条理较为清晰。其次，在句型方面，建议考生使用长短句交错的方式，这样节奏便较为明朗。最后，用词方面，文章对“过度包装”使用了多种表达方式，如fancy packaging, luxurious packaging, glorious packaging等等。这样文章便不会显得“干燥”，让阅卷老师怀疑你的词汇量。因此，同学们在平时一定要注意同义词、词组的替换和使用。 5 On Excessive PackagingNowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few.There are several causes of excessive packaging.
