求托福獨立寫作部分的萬能例子

求托福獨立寫作部分的萬能例子

1.創(chuàng)新
Marcel Duchamp
先是 馬塞爾 杜尚，這是現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)史中的傳奇人物，創(chuàng)意百出，信馬由韁，最出名的亂搞是在攤上買了一個尿池，命名為《泉》，拿到藝術(shù)館展出。杜尚家底十分殷實，是少有的走在時代尖端而不用忍受貧窮的藝術(shù)家。他涉及的藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域極其廣泛，可以看作近代藝術(shù)里的達芬奇。
他的例子幾乎可以用到所有跟藝術(shù)相關(guān)的題目，其他類的部分題目也可以用(比如創(chuàng)新，outsider什么的—用來做補充：不需要是外來者，只要保持觀念開放依然可以成就breakingthrough的achievement)
背景：French-born American artist (though he always denied being “an artist”)
His works had a major impact to the direction of 20 century art. All his life, he changed the form of art as well as himself. He introduced the European movement Cubism(立體主義) and dada(達達主義) to United States, and was influential in surrealist(超現(xiàn)實主義，很有名的達利就是搞這個的) movement.
此外他還和installation art(裝置藝術(shù)), concept art(概念藝術(shù))這些現(xiàn)在很火的藝術(shù)形式有關(guān)
泉的例子：Fountain, an ordinary, mass-produced urinal that has been transformed into a work of art simply by being exhibited in a gallery and receiving a new title.
他說過一句話，Art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way as a bad emotion is still an emotion.
可以用來擴展解釋他思想的開放，同時把art和形容詞換掉也是很好的 辨證類型的 GRE句子
2.現(xiàn)實對藝術(shù)的影響
Dada
前面說到的達達主義。因為跟社會、戰(zhàn)爭聯(lián)系很緊密，所以拿出來講：
DADA是一戰(zhàn)以后歐洲的詩人畫家搞的，因為戰(zhàn)爭的殘酷讓他們意識到之前的那些形而上的出世的藝術(shù)很沒意義，有一部分就開始搞更沒有意義的DADA(汗~~~事實就是這樣Di)
The slaughter of World War I affected artists in different ways. Some felt, as Mondrian did, that human betterment lay in the creation of an impersonal, mechanistic way of life. Still others concluded that the very idea of human betterment was a pointless illusion. For this group, the main lesson of the war, if anything, was the bankruptcy of reason, politics, technology, and even art itself. On this premise, several artists and poets founded a movement whose name, dada, was purposely meaningless, and whose members ridiculed anything having to do with culture, politics, or aesthetics
再補充一個現(xiàn)實跟藝術(shù)相連的，名氣大一點，老朋友Picasso，不過是以作品為突破口，應(yīng)該不會那么多雷同
Guernica(就是一副長的、上面都是牛頭馬面的畫，Guernica是西班牙北部的小鎮(zhèn)，德國人把那炸了，畢加索聽到后悲憤叢生，就畫了它)
《Guernica》 The painting’s color scheme proved effective for conveying the cruel reality
Spanish painter Picasso created the masterpiece when he heard of the bombing of Guernica during Spanish Civil War
3.另一些悲慘的藝術(shù)家
倫勃朗Rembrandt, 維梅爾Vermeer (荷蘭黃金時期的兩個大師，手法創(chuàng)新，在光影表現(xiàn)上都有獨到之處。都不受同時代人重視，很符合大家心目中藝術(shù)家的Stereotype，可以用來替換梵高、畢加索這類婦孺皆知的大佬)
Rembrandt(藝術(shù)成就上比Vermeer高點)
Rembrandt, Dutch baroque artist, who ranks as one of the greatest painters in the history of Western art. His work made an enormous impact on his contemporaries and influenced the style of many later artists. Perhaps no painter has ever equaled Rembrandt's chiaroscuro effects or his bold impasto.
Vermeer(不知道大家看過《戴珍珠耳環(huán)的女孩》girl with a pearl earring嗎，就是說他的，不過故事是假的，Vermeer的日子可能比電影里更慘)
Jan Vermeer reputed the greatest painter besides Rembrandt in Dutch Golden Age, had a marvelous ability in expressing lights and shadow, but he died young left his family no legacy but deep debt. During his lifetime, he had not sold one piece of his paintings. After his death Vermeer did not receive attention until the late 19th century. His reputation steadily increased thereafter, and today he is considered one of the greatest Dutch painters.
4.跨專業(yè)的牛人
跨專業(yè)領(lǐng)域,outsider achievement的文章很適用
藝術(shù)》數(shù)學
M.C. Escher (艾舍爾，就是畫圖形漸變、現(xiàn)實中不存在的空間的畫的人，很牛，也很神經(jīng)質(zhì)，他只上過中學，作品卻很受數(shù)學家推崇。)
Dutch M.C Escher leaps from art to mathematics. Escher had no formal mathematical training beyond secondary school, but his fantastic print works, such as Escher Limit Cycle and Day and Night, are most greatly admired by mathematicians, who recognized his work an extraordinary visualization of mathematics principles, and considered him a part of them.
數(shù)學》藝術(shù)
分性藝術(shù)創(chuàng)始人，IBM研究院搞數(shù)學、物理的，結(jié)果創(chuàng)造出了新的藝術(shù)形式，分形藝術(shù)。
Benoit Mandelbort was a scientist at IBM Watson Research Center. On his retirement from IBM, he joined the Yale Department of Mathematics. By now, you can tell any connections between him and art. Nonetheless, he has created a new geometry of nature called fractal that is centered in physics and mathematics, and being reputed as a innovative form of art. The explanation is that artist and scientist are expressing in distinct methods but journeying the same destination, such as balance, harmony, symmetry, and the like.
5.現(xiàn)代與創(chuàng)新的結(jié)合
就是大家都很了解的設(shè)計中銀大廈，盧浮宮金字塔的老貝，這里引用的是盧浮宮的例子。
Louvre, national art museum of France.
Chinese-born American architect I. M. Pei designed this controversial glass pyramid (completed in 1989) at the entrance to the Louvre, a museum in Paris, France. Noted for his unique arrangements of geometric shapes, Pei also earned a reputation for his creative use of space, surfaces, and materials. One of the foremost architects of the 20th century, Pei has designed important public and corporate buildings throughout the world and has worked with urban renewal.

托福備考的過程中，要想寫作取得優(yōu)勢，多閱讀一些 范文 是十分有必要的，下面我給大家?guī)硗懈懽鞲叻? 范文大全，快來學習吧!

托福寫作高分范文大全1

Task：It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?.

托福寫作模板范文參考：

We all crave knowledge, especially in this Age of Information, but what is the best source of knowledge? Are we to believe Albert Camus, who stated” The place we are to get knowledge is in books”? Or are we better served by following Albert Einstein's counsel that “The only source of knowledge is experience”? Although books have their place in one's learning, there is no substitute for experience; indeed, it is experience that is ultimately the most important source of knowledge.

First, let us consider the knowledge needed to undertake a profession-for example, that of a physician. Knowledge gained from books provides the foundation of a doctor's training: study in a medical school begins with a near-overload of reading on anatomy, physiology and maladies both rare and common. However, during this time the medical student is also learning through experience, beginning with dissecting cadavers from almost the first day of medical school. Then, the aspiring physician must complete four years of residency, consisting of actual supervised experience at a hospital in which he or she now must put into practice all of the knowledge he or she has edge of dealing with patients, prescribing medication, and the joy and sadness of saving and losing patients; in other words, it is through experience that these residents finally learn what it means to be a doctor.

What about knowledge other than professional expertise-for example, knowledge about another culture? In this realm as well, both books and real-life experience enrich and edify us. For example, Paris is perhaps the most talked-about and written-about city in the world. We could read Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, in which he describes the excitement and intellectual spirit-as well as the restaurants and plentiful red wine-of Paris in the 1920's. Or, we could travel to Paris and eat at bistros, walk across the Pont Neuf and look at the river Seine, visit the Louvre museum, and have adventures of our own. Clearly, most people would have attained more lasting and vivid knowledge by visiting Paris on their own rather than reading about it secondhand.

In summary, experience, rather than books, is more central to our quest for learning, especially with regard to professional expertise. With regard to learning about another culture, experience is also irreplaceable. Yet not everyone in the world will have the health or financial resources to carry out a trip to Paris. But many people have access to a local library where they can borrow A Moveable Feast and, at no cost, read Hemingway's vibrant descriptions of Paris. We cannot forget the complementary and unique knowledge afforded by books, but experience is the most precious source of knowledge.

Task:“When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success.” Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.

托福寫作模板范文參考：

It is universally acknowledged that hard work is indispensable to success. Scientists toil for years before they make a major discovery. Students study for years before they are accepted by a top university. Self-make people work for a long time, even all their life before they make a fortune. However, less well-known is the essential role that luck plays in achieving one's goals. It is often luck that turns years of hard work into success: people discover and invent things with the help of luck, and so do they become famous and find jobs.

First, luck has helped a great number of people invent and discover things. Sir Alexander Fleming experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he discovered penicillin. He went through laborious trial and error, but it was on account of luck that he looked at the mold on a piece of cheese and got the idea for penicillin there and then. Benjamin Franklin had been trying to prove his idea that lightning and electricity is the same thing, but it was only in flying a kite that he proved it and the concept of a lightning rod happened to strike him.

Also, luck helps people become famous. Let us consider young authors. Many work hard to learn to write. For example, they take writing classes. Besides, they work at menial jobs so as to survive and gain experience. Then one day a lucky writer may have piece of writing published and attract public attention. Or the writer meets an editor at the right time and place. Years of continuous writing brings the writer to the door of success, but one lucky chance, like the shot in soccer, eventually helps him or her reap success.

Finally, luck has helped many people secure jobs. One may spend much time writing and sending resumes, reading recruiting ads, and going to job interviews. One may pond the pavement for a long time before getting a job. However, it is with luck that a job hunter meets the person who will offer a position to him or her, or learns of a vacancy that is not advertised. Being at the right place at the right time often helps one land a job, and this has all to do with luck. One can hardly succeed without hard work, but hard work without luck often leads to nothing. Luck has a great number of people find success. In fact, luck goes hand in hand with hard work.

Task:Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.

托福寫作模板范文參考：

Some people think that university students should be able to choose whether to go to classes or not. I could not disagree more with this idea. Even though students can have excused absences, for example, when they are sick or have something emergent to attend, generally they should be required to go to classes. In fact, attending classes has many advantages, three of them most important: learning from the teacher, interacting with classmates, and developing responsibility. Attending classes has the benefit of receiving the best that a teacher can offer. Good teachers review the difficult and key pints of the material in the course textbook. The best teachers do more than this. They conduct group discussion of the material, and present alternative points of view on the same issue. This increases students' real understanding and critical thinking.

Moreover, teachers supplement the textbook material with information provide by guest speakers, which further enhances students' understanding. All this implies that, if students are absent from class, it is tantamount to forfeiting their right to full benefits of teacher-guided learning in class. Going to classes also helps students learn how to work with their classmates. In class, students need to put forward their ideas. They have to take questions from their classmates and when their classmates have a different point of view, they have to defend their own. All this is conducted in a friendly manner. Interaction of this kind teaches students about how to work with other people.

Finally, going to classes enables students to develop responsibility. Having to finish all the assigned readings before class helps prepare them for getting a job. So does the requirement of being punctual for class. Similarly, having to complete assignment on time for class helps them to foster responsibility.

Admittedly, students can obtain information from books, but they benefit a great deal more when they go to classes. They have the advantage of learning from their teacher, of interacting with other people, and of developing the responsibility required of a good worker as well as a good student. If these skills in life are in no sense optional, how can attending classes in a university be optional?

托福考試 作文 題目：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time become valuable lessons for the future. Use reasons and specific examples to support our answer.

托?？荚囎魑膮⒖挤治觯?/p>

舉一些例子支持題目中的觀點，確實有些痛苦經(jīng)歷對將來毫無幫助。

托?？荚囎魑姆段膮⒖迹?/p>

Some people argue that most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time can later become valuable experiences. I cannot agree with them more. There are numerous reasons why I hold confidence on this opinion, and I would explore only a few primary ones here.

Difficulties are beneficial to our personal growth. In the course of our life, we will face numerous difficulties, and each difficulty will help us grow up, and become a valuable lesson for the future. A toddler fells off the ground for many times before he knows how to walk, and a child learns how to swim after he drinks water in the swimming pool. In addition, only after we experienced failures, we know the value of success. We will never appreciate anything that comes so easy. Difficulties can make us feel stronger and be more confident for the future obstacles.

Furthermore, difficulties in our work can help us gain more experience and knowledge. Most of the times we can gain knowledge and experiences faster through experiencing difficulties in our life and trying to find a solutions to the perplexities that we face. There is a famous saying, "no pain no gain." For example, when we take on a new job that we do not have much experience in, the first few weeks can be extremely painful and we may feel enormous pressure and difficulties. And we will try our best to adjust, to learn and to think, how to do this job better. The more difficulties we feel, the harder we try to acquire the skills and knowledge to overcome it. Learning and this stage is extremely efficient and our problem solving skills well increase. After we overcome more and more problems, we can become an experienced worker in this field and will be able to take on more challenges. We will never fear that we will face the same kind of problem again. This means that we have accumulated valuable experiences for the future.

In a word, a difficult experience is a gift that life gives us. We should appreciate it and take it as a precious opportunity to gain knowledge and experience about our study, work and life.

托福綜合寫作經(jīng)典模板范例匯總

在托福備考過程中，托福綜合寫作都是讓備考學生一項非常頭疼的難題，在這里我為大家搜集整理的一些新托福考考試寫作的經(jīng)典模板，希望大家能在靈活運用經(jīng)典模板的基礎(chǔ)上創(chuàng)作出具有個人特色的優(yōu)秀托福 作文 。

怎樣合理使用托福寫作模板

第一，強大自己的英語基本功。只有在平時注意積累，注意改正自己的錯誤，才會避免低級錯誤，才會運用正確的語法結(jié)構(gòu)。

第二，動筆之前，一定要認真審題，和構(gòu)思，要盡量明確寫作的結(jié)構(gòu)，內(nèi)容，然后要要注意看寫作要求，這一點至關(guān)重要。如果沒有認真審題的話，見題就寫，沒有嚴謹?shù)膶懽魉悸?，很容易造成跑題，偏題，不符題意的錯誤，也就不能使模板中的句型和內(nèi)容相匹配。

第三，我們在初練寫作的時候套用模板是正常的事情，也是一個必經(jīng)的過程，只有先試用別人的東西，才能發(fā)現(xiàn)一些漏洞，也才能在此基礎(chǔ)上進行自己的寫作積累。模板要活學活用，不要一字不差的照抄無誤，而是要根據(jù)自己所要表達的內(nèi)容進行更改。寫作不一定要字字句句都是難詞，長句，而是要學會運用一些常見詞的常見 短語 去表達，這樣才能真正顯示寫作的水平。這就要求學生再平時的學習中注意積累常用的短語或者詞組，以備寫作之用。另外，關(guān)于寫作素材，不僅僅指寫作常用的詞匯，句型或者語法結(jié)構(gòu)，還要包括所用的事例。因此，在平常的練習中要注意從閱讀中積累素材，積累詞句，而不要僅僅局限于模板之中。

模板只是給了學生一個寫作的思路和框架，但是要想獲得高分，就要在框架之上填加自己的內(nèi)容，把模板變成自己的東西，只有 文章 中有自己的內(nèi)容，才會吸引判卷老師的眼球!

新托福寫作素材

篇一：廣告讓我們買不需要的東西么？

目前正在美國展開密集advertising campaign的是哪家公司呢？是Toyota.在faulty brake和sticky accelerator被一連串曝光后，Toyota卻并沒有像大家預(yù)期那樣暫時保持低調(diào)等事情過去，反而咬著牙同時推出了至少7個不同版本的TV commercials（這在美國廣告史上也屬罕見）。其中最搞笑的一個廣告是一位老先生很深沉地對年輕人們講:“Good companies fix their mistakes but great companies learn from their mistakes！”

但是,美國公眾卻并沒有忘記已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致19人喪生的“豐田門”事件。Pat身邊的電視上NBC就正在現(xiàn)場直播一位叫Rhonda Smith的女士在國會山參加congressional hearing的實況。Mrs.Smith的Lexus曾突然加速到100英里（160公里），而且在完全失控的狀態(tài)下連續(xù)狂奔6英里。

Six Miles of Interstate Terror 為新托福作文題:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Advertising makes consumers buy things that they do not need.

篇二：電影應(yīng)該嚴肅還是娛樂？

很多同學對于新托福寫作考題：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Serious movies are better than entertaining movies.

想不出恰當?shù)睦觼碚撟C自己的觀點，其實美國電影業(yè)提供了很多關(guān)于這個話題的例子。

上周末獲得6項奧斯卡大獎，特別是Best Picture（最佳電影）和Best Director(最佳導(dǎo)演）兩個重量級獎項的Hurt Locker其實就是寫這篇作文最新的例子。作為一個資深影迷，Pat體驗過美國1-3線城市幾乎所有的大電影院，而且無論大片還是票房毒藥幾乎場場必到，但老實說，這部Hurt Locker我還是真的沒看過。而且不僅本人，我身邊的所有骨灰級影迷在奧斯卡之夜后的早晨互問的第一個問題全都是，“Hey, did you watch Hurt Locker before?"

根本原因,就是這部Hurt Locker的戰(zhàn)爭題材過于嚴肅，導(dǎo)致它遠離了美國大眾，所以雖然它早在2008年就已經(jīng)首映，而且專業(yè)人士一再叫好（critically acclaimed)，甚至被一些影評人說成“the best war movie ever made", 但票房卻一直十分慘淡。而且更關(guān)鍵的是在它一口氣拿了這么多奧斯卡獎之后，我身邊的朋友們還是沒有一個想去看這部電影的。

相比之下，2009年夏天在美國和加拿大火得不行的Inglourious Basterds，雖然也是war movie, 但因為娛樂性極強，反倒凈賺了4億多美金。

當然，票房并不是衡量一部電影的唯一指標。但James Cameron雖然并沒有拿到最佳導(dǎo)演，這實在讓美國公眾大跌眼鏡，但在美國民眾心目中，他的Avatar才是當之無愧的2009-2010年北美最成功的電影。

篇三： 是否應(yīng)該通過不同媒體獲得真相

To what extent do you agree or disagree: There are so many sources of information today. People should get information from different sources in order to know the facts.是一道比較抽象的題目，用“經(jīng)典例子”很難論證。也許唯一靠譜的例子是Watergate Scandal, 但這未免也太惡俗了吧？

如果您聽說過美國著名的攝影師Charles Moore，那么這道題的例子就將變得非?！懊绹薄oore是黑人民權(quán)運動時代最著名的白人攝影師，他不顧個人安危拍攝了大量美國南方黑人被迫害的真實照片，包括Martin Luther King,Jr.被警察強行抓捕的照片。Moore的報導(dǎo)與當時美國白人主流媒體對大量事件的報導(dǎo)直接沖突，引發(fā)了很多主張平權(quán)的`北方民眾南下去尋找事實真相。

一切簡直就像是為了那道新托?？碱}量身定做的。

上周四，Charles Moore在他的家中去世，導(dǎo)致在美國的主流媒體再次引發(fā)了Charles Moore熱。但這一次，卻沒有一個人反對他。大家一致公認：Moore拍的照片才是真正的"facts"。

America definitely has come a long way ...

篇四：是否應(yīng)該充分準備之后再采取行動？

The Obama Health Bill Rally in Virginia

本周日，美國將面臨一個重大抉擇：Congress將對Barack Obama的Health Bill進行投票。如果能夠獲得通過那么至少3000萬目前還沒有醫(yī)保的美國人將從中受益。雖然美國民調(diào)一再顯示越來越多的公眾認為小奧是一個socialist, 但白發(fā)日漸增加的小奧卻似乎已經(jīng)對討論“姓社還是姓資”的問題失去了興趣。今天電視上每個臺都在不停播放他在Virginia向著數(shù)千Health Bill的支持者高喊，“I know this will be a difficult journey. I know this will be a tough vote..."

可是，統(tǒng)計分析卻清晰表明：即使Health (Care) Bill真的獲得通過，仍將有大量美國人無法獲得免費的family physicians（家庭醫(yī)生）的定期檢查。因為與?？漆t(yī)生相比family physicians收入偏低，所以醫(yī)學院畢業(yè)生多數(shù)并不愿意選擇作family physicians，而且家庭醫(yī)生短缺的狀況很可能還將隨著新增的3000萬免費醫(yī)保享受者加入而進一步被惡化。

這也就是說，2009年的北美機考名題：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:

It is better to get fully prepared and avoid mistakes than to do something first and then accept mistakes.本周末很可能將在美國真實上演。

篇五：個人是否可以為解決環(huán)境問題做貢獻

2010年大陸機考的第三道題：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: As individuals, we cannot make contributions to solving environmental problems. 是一道經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的考題。能不能舉出有時代感的嶄新北美例子呢？The answer must be a resounding YES!今晚,在北美將會有近1億人為保護環(huán)境而turn off our lights for Earth Hour,這充分說明每個人作為an individual都可以為環(huán)保做貢獻。Pat作為一個從小就不亂扔香蕉皮的好孩子今晚也會堅定地加入到這一行動中。而且只要再看看下面的事實：在短短的三年前（2007年），Earth Hour還只是澳洲The Sydney Morning Herald 報社的幾個“我”的設(shè)想，而今天它卻已經(jīng)成為the biggest climate awareness campaign in the world,我們就會更感嘆individuals其實可以為改善環(huán)境做出多么巨大的貢獻了！

篇六：我們是否應(yīng)該相信媒體報導(dǎo)

曾在很長時間內(nèi)被認為是“美國歷史上最偉大的棒球手之一”的Mark McGuire終于承認了自己長期服用興奮.劑的事實，成為2010年美國第一個爆出丑聞的體育明星。

很久以來一直有傳聞?wù)fMark McGuire服用過performance-enhancing drugs(用來提高比賽表現(xiàn)的違禁藥品，在美語中也常用doping或者steroid use表示類似的意思）。但這個馬克很會通過媒體進行表演，每次被采訪到關(guān)于這個話題的時候，他都一臉委屈，甚至還經(jīng)常帶著自己的兒子一起上各種媒體訪談，刻意塑造“新好男人”形象。美國媒體替馬克圓謊達20年之久，可信度實在未能起到其作為 the conscience of society 應(yīng)該起的作用。

篇七：科學家是否應(yīng)該對其研究結(jié)果負責

熟悉TOEFL iBT寫作機經(jīng)的朋友們應(yīng)該都聽說過這道題（已在大陸和北美多次出現(xiàn)）：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:

Scientists should be responsible for the negative impact of their research.寫這道題國內(nèi)的“小盆友”們舉得最多的例子就是克隆人（human cloning)。但是最近在美國，被人們談?wù)摰米疃嗟挠袪幾h科學研究卻已經(jīng)不再是human cloning, 而是Dr. Craig Venter和人類歷史上第一個人工生命 Synthia（嚴格來說Synthia并不是一個人造兒童，只是the first cell with a synthetic genome, 但從理論上講這種cell已經(jīng)完全具有“長大成人”的潛力了）。

美語里有一個很地道的俗語叫play God，就是指那種對他人的命運指手畫腳的行為，而這一次Dr. Craig Venter是實實在在的扮演了一次上帝造物的角色，在美國甚至已經(jīng)有人提出他應(yīng)該被授予明年的諾貝爾生物學獎。全人類都將密切關(guān)注the first cell with a synthetic genome將帶來的革命或災(zāi)難。

篇八：政府應(yīng)該集中保護環(huán)境還是發(fā)展經(jīng)濟

新托福寫作中有一道環(huán)境類名題：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:

Governments should focus on the preservation of the environment than on the economic development.

這道題說理不算太難，但舉例的時候卻很難找到真正to-the-point的實例。

其實目前正在美國引起軒然大波（is causing quite a stir)的墨西哥灣漏油事件（the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill / BP Oil Spill)就是最新也最扣題的好例子。

小奧不僅在和Larry King的訪談中高喊“我已經(jīng)出離憤怒（I'm furious!）"，而且昨天第三次親赴漏油地點視察，超過了他訪問民主黨支持者們最關(guān)心的阿富汗戰(zhàn)區(qū)的次數(shù)。

更重要的是，由于漏油還在不斷漂浮并且已經(jīng)影響到漁業(yè)（fishing industry)和旅游業(yè)(tourism)等多個產(chǎn)業(yè)，最終給美國經(jīng)濟帶來的損失很可能將超過500億美元。如果大家覺得500億對美國來說沒什么，請想想美國經(jīng)濟目前并未企穩(wěn)（remain highly volatile)，再想想500億USD可就是3000多億RMB。

解決環(huán)境問題對于發(fā)展經(jīng)濟的重要性，在墨西哥灣漏油事件中得到了最殘酷但也是最真實(harsh but factual)的證明。
