范文及解析

Introduction

Education, the prime force for productivity, and sound medical care, the fundamental premise for a country’s stability, are supposed to be sponsored by the government, which is in contrast to the view that in no sense should the government be the primary responsibility taker.

解析

政府投資職能類話題，論述政府是否應(yīng)該承擔(dān)教育和醫(yī)療的費用，整體難度并不大，可以結(jié)合政府投資基本原則，討論政府投資的好壞來進行論述；

Body 1

Citizens,as tax-payers, have been doing their bit to the nation. Therefore, as returned favors,the government, as the organizer and coordinator of the whole society, undertakes the due obligations and inescapable responsibilities to allot money to free healthcare and education. Furthermore,only with the government’s financial injection ,can citizens, especially the underprivileged ones, be reachable to medical care and cutting-edge knowledge. By this means, people afflicted with maladies can access efficacious treatments and all students benefiting from government subsidy are furnished with frontier knowledge. Ultimately, gratuitous medical care elevates citizens' health index and education fosters high-caliber talents in all walks of life,thereby constructing a harmonious and prosperous country.

解析

政府的稅收應(yīng)該取之于民用之于民：

（1）投資于醫(yī)療：解決看病難的問題，尤其是貧困階層，從而提升人們對生活的滿意度，保障社會和諧穩(wěn)定；

（2）投資于教育：為社會各行各業(yè)培養(yǎng)高精尖人才，使得社會繁榮昌盛；

underprivileged n.弱勢群體，貧困階層；
cutting-edge adj. 領(lǐng)先的；
afflicted with v.受折磨；
malady n.疾病;
efficacious adj.有效的；靈驗的;
be furnished with v. 配備有;
gratuitous adj.免費的;
elevate v.提升；
high-caliber adj.高水平的；高質(zhì)量的

Body 2

Nevertheless, apportioning full responsibilities to governments is ludicrous. The masses are the direct beneficiaries of a full-fledged health-care and there are a medley of contributing factors for health problems, among which the chief culprit would be people’s unhealthy habits. For example, weak-willed people, yielding to the guilty pleasure of junk foods, can hardly refrain from the urge to order crunchy hamburgers. In this case, individuals should be held accountable for their health because the government cannot forcibly dictate how citizens live a life. Aside from health, neither should the government take full onus for education. Given the finite budget, the full responsibility engenders a hefty economic load on governments because other fields equally intertwined with our life standard and national security, namely environment, agriculture and military, also cannot not be downplayed. If the government covers all children’s tuition, the strides of these domains are bound to be stymied because of funding shortfalls, thus impairing overall national strength.

解析

讓政府承擔(dān)全部責(zé)任是很不現(xiàn)實的：

（1）個人也應(yīng)該共同承擔(dān)責(zé)任：完善的醫(yī)療的直接收益者是公眾且很多身體健康問題是因為人們自身的不良習(xí)慣造成；

（2）政府的財政預(yù)算有限：過度依賴于政府財政資金投入醫(yī)療與教育會對政府造成很大經(jīng)理壓力；

apportion vt.分配，分派；分?jǐn)?
ludicrous adj.滑稽的；荒唐的;
full-fledged adj.全面發(fā)展的；
a medley of 混合的;各種各樣的；
chief culprit 禍?zhǔn)?不好的事情的原因；
yielding adj. 易彎曲的；柔軟的；
refrain v.克制，避免;
crunchy adj.硬脆的，松脆的；
dictate v.命令，規(guī)定；影響;
take full onus for v.承擔(dān)全部責(zé)任;
engender v.產(chǎn)生，引起;
hefty adj.高大健壯的，笨重的；
downplay v.對……輕描淡寫；輕視，貶低;
stride n.大步；步幅
stymie vt.阻撓，妨礙

Conclusion

To recapitulate, healthcare and education do deserve financial support from governments but simultaneously individuals, in order to keep healthy and mitigate country’s fiscal stress, also should have a shared obligation.

解析

總結(jié)前文,表明立場。

recapitulate  v.綜述；總結(jié)
