2018年10月13日寫作真題參考范文 | 女性休產(chǎn)假的利與弊

2018年10月13日雅思大作文題目

 

In many countries women are allowed to take maternity leave from their jobs during the first months after the birth of their baby. Does advantages outweigh disadvantages? 

解析&審題

 

本題是2016年2月27日雅思寫作的原題重現(xiàn)，問題的核心是：女性生完小孩后是否該休產(chǎn)假？可能有些同學(xué)看到maternity就暈了，其實(shí)，如果聯(lián)系到take...leave(請(qǐng)假）和后面的“during the first months after the birth of their baby"(生完小孩后的頭幾個(gè)月），我們就不難想到，這里的take maternity leave就是 “休產(chǎn)假”。

 

那么，休產(chǎn)假和不休產(chǎn)假各有什么利弊呢？休產(chǎn)假的好處容易想到，包括有時(shí)間陪孩子，有時(shí)間緩解一下懷孕和生育期間的緊張和不安，另外，就是恢復(fù)一下身體。但是，休產(chǎn)假也有問題，比如有些通常由女性完成的工作可能就缺人手了，再比如，休產(chǎn)假幾個(gè)月，如果完全脫離工作崗位，那么有可能對(duì)工作變得生疏，同時(shí)，由于不工作，營(yíng)養(yǎng)過好，如果不鍛煉，女性很容易變得肥胖起來，等等。但是，權(quán)衡休產(chǎn)假的好處和壞處后，我們還是覺得女性應(yīng)該享有這個(gè)權(quán)利，雖然她們?cè)谙硎苓@個(gè)權(quán)力的時(shí)候，要注意降低這個(gè)權(quán)利可能對(duì)工作和身體帶來的負(fù)面影響。

It is a customary practice for most countries in the world to give women a few months of maternity leave after they give birth to the baby. To spend a few months away from work after giving birth, however, has disadvantages as well as advantages.

 

世界上大多數(shù)國(guó)家的習(xí)慣做法是在女性生完孩子之后給他們放幾個(gè)月的產(chǎn)假。然而生完孩子之后遠(yuǎn)離工作幾個(gè)月既有好處又有壞處。

 

解析

（1） 文章段提出產(chǎn)假有利有弊。

（2） customary practice 常規(guī)做法

To be sure, the newly-born baby is the one who benefits the most from the maternity leave. As we know, the first few months of the new life are always the most dangerous time, during which the baby faces many dangers, some quite unexpected, that may be deadly. Therefore, the concentrated and intensive care from the mother is critical for the survival of the baby. I have just read a newspaper report which compares the infant mortality rate between the countries which practice maternity leave and those which do not and concludes that infant death rate in the former is 25% lower than that in the latter. Besides, taking a few months off her work after the baby is born is also a good way to release the anxiety and stress the mother must have experienced during her pregnancy, so she will more likely behave normal after going back to work.

 

新生兒無疑是產(chǎn)假的受益者。正如我們知道的，生命的前幾個(gè)月總是最危險(xiǎn)的時(shí)期，在這期間嬰兒會(huì)遇到很多意想不到的、甚至可能是致命的危險(xiǎn)，因此，母親專心細(xì)致的照顧對(duì)嬰兒的存活十分關(guān)鍵。我剛看過一個(gè)報(bào)紙的報(bào)道比較了有產(chǎn)假的國(guó)家和沒有產(chǎn)假的國(guó)家的嬰兒死亡率，得出的結(jié)論是前者嬰兒的死亡率比后者低25%。此外，生完孩子之后休幾個(gè)月的產(chǎn)假也是母親釋放產(chǎn)期焦慮和壓力的好方法，因此她在回到工作崗位后將更有可能表現(xiàn)得正常。

 

解析

（1） 本段主要論述產(chǎn)假的好處，分成以下兩個(gè)方面：其一是新生兒面臨危險(xiǎn)，母親的照顧保證新生兒的存活。其二是母親能釋放產(chǎn)期焦慮以便正?；貧w工作。兩個(gè)層次之間用besides承接。

（2） to be sure=it is sure that=certainly

（3） release the anxiety and stress 釋放焦慮和壓力

Like anything else, maternity leave may also bring about some negative effects. In some female-dominated professions like nursing, the few months leave may cause a serious shortage of labor. And we have seen many women who simply cannot perform their job after the leave because they have totally forgotten how to do their job properly. Meanwhile, many women who used to be slender and beautiful have become fat and ugly after the few months of no work and over eating.

 

產(chǎn)假當(dāng)然也會(huì)帶來消極的影響。在某些諸如護(hù)理的以女性為主的專業(yè)上，這幾個(gè)月的產(chǎn)假將會(huì)造成嚴(yán)重的勞動(dòng)力短缺。我們也見過很多女性在產(chǎn)假后直接無法勝任工作，因?yàn)樗齻円呀?jīng)完全忘記如何正確地履行工作。同時(shí)，許多原本苗條美麗的女性在幾個(gè)月的暴食和沒有工作之后變得肥胖而丑陋。

 

解析

（1） 本段主要論述產(chǎn)假的三方面的壞處：以女性為主工作有時(shí)會(huì)有嚴(yán)重的勞動(dòng)力短缺；女性假后無法勝任工作；女性產(chǎn)假期間變得肥胖而丑陋。用meanwhile來銜接

（2） female-dominated女性為主的

Taking into account both the advantages and disadvantages, I believe maternity leave is a good thing. After all, the baby's survival and the mother's health are much more important than the possible side-effects of labor shortage, temporary forgetfulness of the work and physical ugliness. If the maternity leave time is wisely used, the new mothers may just as well return to their work as energetic and beautiful as before. 

 

同時(shí)考慮到優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)后，我相信產(chǎn)假是好事。畢竟，嬰兒的存活和母親的健康比起產(chǎn)假可能帶來的諸如勞動(dòng)力短缺、暫時(shí)工作健忘癥和身體丑陋的副作用來說要重要得多。如果產(chǎn)假能被合理地利用，新媽媽可能會(huì)以像之前那般美麗而充滿活力的狀態(tài)回歸工作。

 

解析

（1） 結(jié)合前面的分析得出結(jié)論，自己的觀點(diǎn)：產(chǎn)假是好事，有利于嬰兒的存活和母親的健康，其不利影響比起這兩點(diǎn)就不足道了。

（2） take into account 考慮在內(nèi)

（3） after all 畢竟

（4） be wisely used=be reasonably used 合理利用
