实例解读SAT Essay离题的原因
<p> 在这个秋季的<span word="SAT">SAT</span>考试高峰期，有同学在<span word="Essay">Essay</span>当中正常发挥，也有同学出乎意料得只是拿到了5分或者6分的成绩，让原计划的写作700分失之交臂。在这次的考试中，其中有两名同学平时的写作都是可以稳拿8分的水平，完全可以冲刺9分的能力，在写作上面的表现差强人意。出成绩之后，我特别找了两位同学了解情况，她们都分别分享了自己写作文的思路，都在不同程度上与原题相背离。下面我们主要是来看看这两位同学是什么原因导致了这样的情况。</p><p> 首先，我们来重温下2013年10月5日亚洲考试的<span word="Essay">Essay</span>题目：</p><p> 2013年10月亚太区作文题：</p><p> <span word="Everything">Everything</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="public">public</span> <span word="figure">figure</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="celebrity">celebrity</span> <span word="says">says</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="does">does</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="likely">likely</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="turn">turn</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="internet">internet</span> <span word="site">site</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="television">television</span> <span word="shows">shows</span>. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="great">great</span> <span word="appeal">appeal</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="these">these</span> <span word="sites">sites</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="shows">shows</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="help">help</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span word="learn">learn</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="possible">possible</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="public">public</span> <span word="figures">figures</span>. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="political">political</span> <span word="candidates">candidates</span>, <span word="for">for</span> <span word="example">example</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="informed">informed</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="voters">voters</span>. <span word="Much">Much</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="information">information</span>, <span word="however">however</span>, <span word="is">is</span> <span word="irrelevant">irrelevant</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="actually">actually</span> <span word="prevents">prevents</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="focusing">focusing</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="issue">issue</span>。</p><p> <span word="Assignment">Assignment</span>: <span word="Does">Does</span> <span word="having">having</span> <span word="too">too</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="information">information</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="public">public</span> <span word="figures">figures</span> <span word="distract">distract</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="important">important</span> <span word="issues">issues</span>?</p><p> 首先，我们来看看这个题目的中文意译：</p><p> 公众人物或名人言论和行为都很有可能在网络或者电视上面曝光。网站和电视节目对人们具有很大的吸引力，并且加深了我们对于公众人物的了解。例如，我们对政治领域的候选人越了解，我们就明确自己作为选举者的身份。但是，事实上，大量无关紧要的信息减少了我们对于相关事件的关注。</p>
