雅思写作真题解析之你觉得圆明园该重建吗？

　　其实这本身不是一个有争议的话题，亦或是说一直存在争议的话题。本次这个话题引起公众关注是因为一名全国人大代表向国家文物局提出了重建圆明园的建议。

　　不久之后，国家文物局在其官网对此进行公开回复。简单概括起来就是：不了，谢谢。

　　其实关于圆明园重建的话题长久以来满是争议。大体上可以分成“重建派”和“废墟派”。

　　2007年浙江古籍出版社还为此出版了《圆明园重建大争辩》一书，收录了近些年此方面争辩的文章，并且进行分析和总结。

　　其实，重建与否并不是我最关心的话题，而我比较关心的是“老建筑”的修缮和重建，这本身就是雅思写作的一个话题范围。

　　例如：

　　   The restoration of old buildings in major cities around the world requires enormous expenditure.Some people think the money should be spent on providing new housing and road.To what extent do you agreeor disagree?20180203

　　因此，我和大家分享一篇来自ChinaDaily的文章，咱们共同学习一些单词以及相关观点。文章为：Should the old Summer Palace be rebuilt?

　　Editor'snote:Aproposal by a NPC deputy on rebuilding the Yuanmingyuan(the old Summer Palace)Park has sparked heated debate online.The park,which was torched by the invading British and French troops after plundering countless treasures in 1860,is now mostly in ruins.Should the old Summer Palace be restored to its original state?Readers share their opinions.

　　1.Restore相关题干中较为常见的一个动词，译成复原，恢复。其名词也比较常见,restoration。

　　Let China and the Chinese remember this forever.The consequences ofbeing weak and disunited lead to humiliation,oppression and rampage.Let us highlight with a plaque and a museum offering to recall andrecant these atrocities for future generation of Chinese not to besubjected to this same tragedy again.

　　2.Oppression,名词，压迫。例如，political oppression政治压迫。

　　3.Rampage,名词，横冲直撞，暴怒的行为。

　　4.Atrocity，名词，暴行。

　　这名网友的观点其实也可以用在我们的大作文写作中“不重建是为了铭记历史”。

　　Whampoa（网名）

　　I think it is good to keep Yuanmingyuan as it now is.It serves as areminder about what happened in history even though it's not a pretty sight.I have visited Yuanmingyuan and subsequently also learned how it got destroyed.What's the point of preserving or replicating a beautiful garden palace?

　　5.Replicate动词，复制，重做（试验，工作或研究）

　　Luckywife01（网名）

　　To restore the Old Summer Palace would be a good idea,as it would represent memories of the previous magnificent palace and also be a new start for this great historical building for more Chinese to remember.

　　这名网友的观点与之前两位相反，其实也可以出现在我们的写作文章里面。该观点就是“重建了更能够让大家了解历史的辉煌”。

　　Ceciliazhang（网名）

　　Reconstruction might restore the palace to its former glory but would erase the only physical remains of China's defeat and humiliation.Leaving the ruinsas they are will remind future generations to work hard and make the country powerful so that China will never suffer such humiliation again!

　　6.Remains，这里是名词，遗迹，遗骸。

　　Keep the damaged treasures original or restore it?I think the answer vary depending on the state of damage.If it the damage was minor,then restore it;if it was seriously harmed,then let it remain the stateas the damage was a part of history.Experts can place a digitalversion of restored besides it so that visitors could have more acomplete vision.

　　最后这名网友则表示，可以利用现代技术来虚拟复原，而不是真正的实体复原。这其实也是反驳之前“Luckywife01”观点的最有利想法。

　　如果在真实的考试中遇到相关题目，还有两个观点简单易写：一. 修缮需要大量技术和资金。二. 但是修缮了之后可以促进当地旅游业的发展。

　　相信这些观点和词汇肯定会对大家的备考有一定的帮助。
