If given the choice, a great many people would change at least one aspect of their physical appearance. As is depicted in the drawing, a young lady is requesting a doctor to give her a straighter nose, bigger lips, and wider eyes. One option that has gained tremendous popularity in recent decades is plastic surgery, the branch of surgery dealing with re-shaping or reconstructing one's body parts.
Firstly, one's appearance is a natural blessing, but some people are unhappy with the looks they have been born with. They therefore decide to have cosmetic surgery in order to look more attractive to themselves and others. And some people have plastic surgery, not because they want it, but because other people demand it. There have been some reports of women demanding larger eyes so that their job prospects will be enhanced. Secondly, changing one's appearance by surgical means may bring short-term benefits but could lead to long-term problems as has been found with some silicon breast implants.
Although it is up to individuals as to whether they have cosmetic surgery or not, it does not come without risk. Changing one's external appearance does not guarantee inner happiness. After all, plastic beauty is only skin deep.
如果有機(jī)會(huì),很多人至少要改變他們外表的一個(gè)方面。這幅畫描繪了一位年輕女士正在請求醫(yī)生給她更挺直的鼻子、大點(diǎn)兒的嘴唇和更大的眼睛。近幾十年來,一個(gè)極其受歡迎的選擇就是整容手術(shù),這是一種重塑或重建一個(gè)人身體部位的外科手術(shù)。
首先,外表是大自然的恩典,但有些人對自己與生俱來的外表不滿意。所以他們就決定做整容手術(shù)讓自己看上去更漂亮。還有一些人做整容手術(shù)不是因?yàn)樗麄兿胱?,而是其他人要求他們做。有?bào)道稱,有些女人想要更大的眼睛以改善她們的就業(yè)前景。其次,通過外科手術(shù)改變外表可能帶來短期的好處,但是能導(dǎo)致長期的問題,比如一些硅酮隆胸植入物就出現(xiàn)了問題。
盡管做不做整容手術(shù)是由個(gè)人決定的,整容手術(shù)并不是沒有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的。改變外表并不一定能保證內(nèi)心的幸福。畢竟,人造美麗只是表面的。
道長點(diǎn)評
考研圖畫作文的第三段一般要?dú)w納結(jié)論或建議措施,可分為三個(gè)部分:第一部分為結(jié)論句,呼應(yīng)圖畫的象征寓意;第二部分為評論或具體建議;第三部分可以展望未來,可使用精彩的語句作為全文結(jié)尾。不過,需要說明的是,本書中的范文寫法各異。
