专四范文:
Cheating in Exams Leads to a Loss of Integrity
考试作弊导致诚信丧失
In my opinion, cheating in an exam is a matter of one's integrity. It is easy to be dishonest and deceive other people but it is much harder to deceive one's self. A person who cheats knows they are doing the wrong thing and, as such, it is a reflection on their character.
在我看来,考试作弊关乎一个人的诚信。不诚实守信和欺骗他人很容易,但是却很难欺骗自己。作弊的人知道他们在做错误的事情,同样,这也会在他们的性格中体现出来。
One reason why I, personally, do not advocate cheating is that I would lose my sense of self-respect. To me, my integrity is too valuable to risks the damage that would be caused if I were to cheat. Apart from the fact that I would know I had done the wrong thing, it would generate a concern about being found out. Another consequence of cheating is that it proves one has not acquired the knowledge necessary to warrant the qualification sought. If the cheating results in being awarded a certificate, to me, that certificate would represent a constant reminder of the stain on my integrity.
我个人不提倡作弊的原因之一是,那会使我失去自尊。对我来说,我的诚信是无价的,不能承受作弊造成的任何损害。且不说我知道我是在做错事,我也会担心自己会不会被发现。欺骗的另一个后果是,它证明了一个人没有保证其资格的必要知识。如果通过作弊获得一个证书,对我来说,那个证书将会是时刻提醒我诚信方面污点的警示。
In the final analysis, cheating comes down toll one's character and the degree of self-respect you have. I prefer to earn what I want based on my own ability and efforts rather than become a second-rate person by cheating. (197 words)
在最后的分析中, 在最后的分析中,作弊归根结底都是一个人的性格和自尊的程度。我喜欢通过我自己的能力和努力来获得财富,而不是通过作弊成为二流的人。(197字)
