參考范文
“We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.” 1 The remark, which reveals the great harm suspicion does, stresses the importance of trust. 2
I agree that trust is indispensable to maintaining genuine relationships among people. 3 Everyone in the world cannot live without interacting with other people. Otherwise, life would be dull and meaningless. Trust is the basic foundation for people to communicate with each other. Without trust, we cannot get along well with others, let alone cooperate with them.
In addition, I maintain that trust is also essential to our country’s efforts to build a harmonious society. 4 Our country is dedicated to building a world full of honesty, friendship, and justice, where people are able to engage in fair and open competition. Harmonious society calls for trust and honesty as well as the strong power to eradicate the crisis of confidence partly resulting from the dishonesty of some manufacturers and businessmen who make or sell shoddy goods in pursuit of profit. In the long run, they will lose potential customers and even cause their companies to shut down. They pose a great threat to the building of a harmonious society.
“我們總是因為要找出我們懷疑的東西,而付出懷疑的代價?!边@句話揭示了懷疑所帶來的極大的危害,也強調(diào)了信任的重要性。
信任對于維系人們之間真正的感情是不可或缺的,我同意這種觀點。世上的每一個人都不能不與別人接觸,否則,生活就會變得乏味而沒有意義。信任是人們相互溝通的基礎(chǔ)。沒有信任,我們就不能與他人融洽相處,更別提與人合作了。
同時,我認(rèn)為信任對于我國構(gòu)建和諧社會的努力也必不可少。我們的國家正致力于構(gòu)建一個充滿真誠、友善和公正的世界,一個人們可以公平、公開競爭的世界。和諧社會需要信任和誠實,需要強大力量從根本上消除信任危機,而這種信任危機部分上是由一些為追求利益制造或銷售不合格產(chǎn)品的商家或生產(chǎn)商的不誠信造成的。從長遠來看,他們會失去潛在的顧客,甚至導(dǎo)致公司的倒閉。他們是構(gòu)建和諧社會的一大威脅。

句法點評
1. In addition, I maintain that trust is also essential to our country’s efforts to build a harmonious society.
此句中,I maintain that...意為“我認(rèn)為……”,類似的句式還有:I hold that..., I assume that...等。
2. In the long run, they will lose potential customers and even cause their companies to shut down.
此句中in the long run表示“從長遠來看”,是邏輯性修飾語,使得觀點的表述具有更強的邏輯性。cause sb. to do sth.意為“導(dǎo)致某人做某事”,應(yīng)多積累相關(guān)表達方式。
