爱心，社会

4.图画作文：社会热点类——爱心/社会公德Directions：Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, but everyone has his or her own understanding of it.There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to the newspaper to1）Show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the pictures below.2）Give a specific example, and3）Give your suggestion as to the best way to show love.必背范文：When we use the word“love”，we do not simply mean an attraction to a person of the opposite sex, which is a very narrow definition of the word. The picture below illustrates the real meaning of love, by stressing the fact that love is emotional strength, which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes.As a matter of fact, throughout history people of many different cultures have regarded love as the most sublime of human emotions.Take an example to illustrate the power of love. We should remember how the Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of the deadly earthquake in Sichuan Province in 2008.Although their incomes are still low by international standards, people all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can-be it money or goods-to help their needy fellow citizens.Furthermore, they do this with no thought of gain or reward.It is my view that the best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are. We should always be ready to give a helping hand to those who are in trouble, no matter whether they are family members or complete strangers.Only by doing so can we help to make the world a better place, for, as the picture shows, the darker the shadows of sorrow become, the more brightly the lamp of love shines.（243 words）参考译文：当我们用到“爱”这个词时，我们不仅仅指对异性的吸引，这是对这个词非常狭隘的解释。上面这幅画阐释了爱的真正含义，它强调了这一事实：爱心是情感力量，不论我们周围的世界多么黑暗，它都能支撑我们。事实上，历史上处于不同文化中的人们都把爱视为人类最高尚的情感。举一个例子证明爱心的力量，我们应该记得2008年中国各族人民如何响应号召去支援四川地震中的受难者。尽管他们的收入按照国际标准衡量还处于低水平，但是全国人民毫不犹豫地尽其所能捐献——不管是钱，还是物品——去帮助那些受难的同胞。并且，他们这么做不求回报。我认为，表达爱心的最好方式是帮助比我们更加不幸的人。我们应该随时准备向有困难的人伸出援助之手，无论他们是自己的家人还是素昧平生的陌生人。只有这样，我们才能助他们一臂之力，把世界变成一个更美好的地方，因为，正如图所示，悲伤的阴影越黑暗，爱心之灯的光芒就越闪亮。
