1.When asked about the ongoing uproar involving U.S. President Bill Clinton ,most people say the affair involves a purely private matter . But many other people regard his actions as deplorable . I personally think the president committed impeachable offences .

　　當被問(wèn)及對現在有關(guān)美國總統比爾?克林頓的沸沸揚揚的議論有什么看法時(shí)，大多數人認為這種曖昧關(guān)系純屬私事。但是，還有很多人認為他的行為應當受到譴責。我個(gè)人認為總統犯了這些過(guò)錯，應該被指控。

　　2. When it comes to the increasing use of motor vehicles in Beijing ,some people think that use should be limited . Others argue that the opposite is true . There is probably some truth to both arguments,but emission controls must be instituted regardless of the number of vehicles.

　　涉及北京機動(dòng)車(chē)使用量增加這一問(wèn)題，有的人認為應該限制使用。另一些人持相反意見(jiàn)。也許雙方的觀(guān)點(diǎn)都有一定道理，但是，無(wú)論車(chē)輛多少，必須對廢氣排放實(shí)行控制。

　　3. There is a general debate nowadays about the problem of itinerant workers . Those who object to the rising migrant population argue that increasing numbers lead to rising crime rates and harm social stability . They believe that strict limits should be placed on migrants entering China ' s cities . But people who favor the influx of the cheap labor force ,on the other hand,maintain that migrants are needed to support the massive urban infrastructure construction program .

　　目前，針對流動(dòng)工人的問(wèn)題展開(kāi)了普遍的爭論。反對流動(dòng)工人增加的人認為這會(huì )導致犯罪率升高，從而危害社會(huì )穩定。他們主張應該嚴格限制進(jìn)入中國城市的流動(dòng)工人。但是，另一方面，支持廉價(jià)勞動(dòng)力流入的人主張，為了支持大規模的城市基礎設施建設規劃，流動(dòng)人口是必需的。

　　4. It is widely acknowledged that extensive deforestation contributed to heavy summer flooding . Experts argue that China must introduce a massive afforestation program . But I doubt whether afforestation alone will solve the problem .

　　人們普遍認為過(guò)度砍伐造成了夏季特大洪水。專(zhuān)家認為中國必須推行大規模的植樹(shù)造林計劃。但我對僅僅植樹(shù)造林就能解決問(wèn)題表示懷疑。

　　5. Most people are of the opinion that wealth provides solutions to all problems . But in spite of the material benefits wealth provides, I believe one should abandon the pursuit of materialism and instead concentrate on the pursuit of happiness .

　　大多數人認為財富為所有問(wèn)題提供解決的辦法。但是，我認為，盡管財富提供物質(zhì)上的利益，一個(gè)人應該放棄物質(zhì)至上的追求，而是集中精力追求幸福。

　　6. Many people believe that capital punishment deters crime . But although criminologists have conducted exhaustive research regarding the subject ,little evidence exists to support the claim .

　　很多人相信極刑能阻止犯罪。但是，雖然刑事學(xué)家就這一課題做了詳盡的研究，幾乎沒(méi)有證據能支持這種說(shuō)法。

　　19. Perhaps no issues are more controversial than euthanasia and abortion ,both of which involve taking the life of a human being .

　　也許沒(méi)有問(wèn)題比安樂(lè )死和人工流產(chǎn)更有爭議性，它們都涉及結束一個(gè)人的生命。

　　20. Never before in history has the issue of overpopulation been more evident than now .

　　歷史上，人口過(guò)剩的問(wèn)題從來(lái)沒(méi)有比現在更加突出。
