Silence Is Gold
When we talk of the famous proverb "Silence is gold", we should not simply label it as right orwrong, but explore it in depth.
當(dāng)我們談到“沉默是金”這一著名的諺語時(shí)，我們不應(yīng)該簡(jiǎn)單地把其標(biāo)注為正確或錯(cuò)誤，而應(yīng)該進(jìn)行深入探討。
This proverb is especiaUy true under several situations. First, if we have made a promise not to letout a secret, we should always keep silent. Second, we should avoid talking over facts or statisticsof which we are not sure. Third, whenever we are expressing our ideas， brevity is the soul of witand talking too much will always lead to faults and mistakes.
這一諺語在一些情況下尤其如此。首先，如果我們作出了承諾要保守秘密，我們應(yīng)該始終保持沉默。第二，我們應(yīng)該避免談?wù)撐覀儾淮_定的事實(shí)或統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)。第三，無論什么時(shí)候我們表達(dá)自己的想法時(shí)，言貴簡(jiǎn)潔，說話太多往往會(huì)導(dǎo)致錯(cuò)誤。
Nevertheless, there are also some exceptions. If we find out a flaw in other's speaking or writing, weshould not hesitate a moment to point it out. And to friends or acquaintances seeking advice, weshould feel free to help them.
不過，也有一些例外。如果我們?cè)谒说恼f話或?qū)懽髦邪l(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，我們應(yīng)該毫不猶豫地指出來。在朋友或熟人征尋意見時(shí)，我們應(yīng)該隨時(shí)幫助他們。
In a word, we can draw the conclusion that in most cases "silence is gold", but in certaincircumstances, talking is the right choice. (155 words)
總之，我們可以得出這樣的結(jié)論，在大多數(shù)情況下“沉默是金”，但在某些情況下，說話是正確的選擇。

Third, whenever we are expressing our ideas, brevity is the soul of wit and talking too much willalways lead to faults and mistakes.第三，無論什么時(shí)候我們表達(dá)自己的想法時(shí)，言貴簡(jiǎn)潔，說話太多往往會(huì)導(dǎo)致錯(cuò)誤。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：這句話中有兩個(gè)得分點(diǎn)，一是運(yùn)用了諺語"brevity is the soul of wit"表示“言貴簡(jiǎn)潔”，二是運(yùn)用了一組近義詞faults and mistakes，用不同的詞表達(dá)相同的意思，這樣詞下文還有flaw。
