GRE Is loyalty always a positive force? SAT Should people always be loyal? 各位同学，SAT和GRE的部分文章题目特别吻合。众所周知，GRE的范文多展现出极强的critical thinking ability因此，为了增强SAT考生的分析问题的能力，笔者对一些重点GRE范文进行分析 Is loyalty all too often a destructive force, rather than a virtue, as the speaker contends? To answer this question it is crucial to draw a distinction between loyalty as an abstract concept and its application. Apart from its consequences, loyalty is clearly a virtue that all humans should strive to develop. Loyalty is part of a universal ethos that we commonly refer to as the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. However, whether loyalty in its application amounts to virtue depends on its extent and its object. 本段译文：是否像题中人说的那样，通常情况下，忠诚是破坏性的力量而非美德?要回答这个问题，我们需要区分忠诚这个抽象概念与其具体应用。撇开忠诚带来的后果不谈，显然它本身是一种美德。所有人都应该努力去做到忠诚。忠诚是社会意识的一部分。通常，我们说忠诚是金科玉律：己所不欲勿施于人。但是，在实际情况下，忠诚是否能和美德划等号还取决于人们多大程度上去保持忠诚，以及对谁忠诚。 |
