2010年大作文

　　Directions:
　　Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should
　　1)describe the drawing briefly,
　　2) explain its intended meaning, and
　　3) give your comments.

　　正如我们所料，2010年的大作文还是考了我们所预测的图画作文，这是考研历史上第11次考图画作文了。字数要求在160--200词。图画作文往往是一张抽象而意味深长的图片或漫画，有时让人很难理解。今年的图画只有一张图，但主题明显直接。图画中间是一个火锅，火锅里面写满了很多汉字，比如佛，功夫，解构，礼，后现代，老舍，莎士比亚，爱因斯坦，道，仁，京剧等许多代表中国和外国文化的东西。把这些东西放在一起，就意味着中西文化融合在一起，特别是下面的文字提示：文化“火锅”，既美味又营养。能更好地帮助我们理解图画的主题：即文化融合Cultural integration的问题。可以说这也是一个考研永恒的话题，这个话题在2002考研作文里面出现过，可以说是同一个主题。

　　大作文参考范文

　　As is vividly depicted in the drawing, in the middle of the cartoon stands a hot pot, containing many Chinese cultural symbols, such as Beijing operas, Daoism, and some foreigh cultural symbols, etc. How impressive the drawing is in describing the common phenomenon that Chinese culture is becoming increasingly integrated into the world. The drawer’s intention seems to be highly self-evident and the meaning causes us to be thought-provoking.

　　It holds to be apparent that the cartoon is indicative of a pervasive phenomenon with regard to culture. When it comes to(一谈到) culture,its great impacts and benefits can’t be too estimated. As China opens to the outside world, our traditional culture is embracing the foreign culture, thus making our Chinese culture more diversified, colorful and internationalized just like a melting pot. What the picture conveys goes far beyond this. The fact that people from different countries are attracted to each other, indicating that to some extent different cultures can be accepted,respected,appreciated and shared internationally. In other words,Chinese unique culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization become irresistible, cultural integration can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship among different countries. In my personal sense, Chinese national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished. Meanwhile,there are good reasons to embrace foreign cultures on the ground that those ideas from the other cultures can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world in the long run. However,confronted with a different culture,we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side. Only in this way can we promote cultural integration and development positively, thus making our motherland dimensional,colorful and vigorous.
