参考答案
下面是小编根据具体的题目要求,给出的参考答案:
A time I changed my opinion happened last spring, which was during the time when the coronavirus outbreak took place.
一次我改变观点的经历发生在上个春天,就是在新冠状病毒大爆发的时候。
Well, before that spring, my opinion on higher education was that it’s just a waste of time and money. You know, we could have entered society earlier and gained more experience of the valuable things that only can be available out of school if we chose not to spend another year or two or even more of being a student at university. And, I thought that at the end of the day society was the true university. You know, I had seen many of my relatives who didn’t receive much education but still lived good lives, not to mention about Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg who were the most successful examples in the world.
在那个春天之前,我对高等教育的看法就是,这就是一种对时间和金钱的浪费。我们本应该更早地踏入社会然后获得更多在大学待上一年两年甚至更多时间却无法学到的有价值的东西。我认为,其实我们的社会才是真正的大学。我那时已经见过我很多没有接受过高等教育的亲戚们依然过着好生活,更不用提全世界最著 名的成功例子比尔盖茨以及马克扎克伯格了。
Well, I changed my opinion totally because of the pandemic. You know, when the lockdown started to roll out, everyone was like in the middle of nowhere, especially for those who were working their butt off as the only breadwinner in the family. You know, getting laid off meant the entire family would hardly make ends meet. However, those who got higher education were way better than those who didn’t as the market always prefer applicants with strong educational backgrounds. And, it was observing this unprecedented situation that I had made a sudden change in my mind.
我因为疫情大流行彻底改变了看法。当封锁开支施行的时候,每个人都不知所措的样子,尤其是那些没日没夜工作的一家之主们。如果失业了,意味着整个家庭将入不敷出。不过,那些接受过高等教育的人们就比那些没有很好教育背景的人来说就会好很多。就是看到这样的前所未有的情况,我的想法发生了突然的转变。
Well, the reason why I changed my idea was that I have experienced seeing friends and relatives struggle with the same obstacles and couldn’t make any changes at the moment. You know, I clearly remember a brother-in-law of mine said to me that how he wished he could have been a student for a longer time at college.
我改变看法的原有就是我亲眼所见自己的朋友和亲戚遇到类似的困局而暂时无法做出任何改变。我清晰地记得我的一个堂哥给我说他要是能够多在大学里多学一些时间就好了。
I definitely felt grateful that I changed my traditional idea. And, I also appreciate my parents who could support me financially and mentally to study abroad.
我对我自己转变看法感到感恩。于此同时,我也感谢我的父母能够从物质和精神方面支持我出国留学。
