雅思口語/寫作素材

雅思托?？荚囀且粋€非常有難度的考試，相信很多在備考階段的小伙伴們，每天都在關(guān)注一些雅思相關(guān)的消息。有同學(xué)問：雅思口語/寫作素材？今天，一起來看看吧。

Im trying to limit my spending right now because Im saving up for a deposit to buy a house.

我在節(jié)省開支，因?yàn)槲蚁氪驽X買房子。

Thrift is not a simple idea to define. Its to do with living a simple life free from the need to constantly buy the latest products. Its an idea connected to frugality - being careful not to spend too much money.

節(jié)儉不太好下定義。它是指過簡單的生活，而不是總想著買最新產(chǎn)品。它與樸素有關(guān)，即花錢很仔細(xì)。

Todays consumer culture encourages us to spend, spend, spend, but it hasnt always been that way. The Victorians for example told people to save up for a rainy day, meaning to keep some money back in case of unforeseen emergencies. Once people had enough to meet their kind of basic needs there was this kind of moral slide into consumerism. Theres no point denying that, certainly in the developed world, theres been a rise in consumer capitalism, thats just a truism, but thrift hasnt declined.

現(xiàn)在的消費(fèi)文化鼓勵我們買買買，但以前不是這樣的。以前人們常說有備無患，未雨綢繆，意思是存點(diǎn)錢以備不時之需。人們一旦有足夠的錢滿足基本需要，就會出現(xiàn)消費(fèi)主義的道德滑坡。毫無疑問，在發(fā)達(dá)國家，消費(fèi)資本主義已興起，這是不言自明的事實(shí)，但是仍有人很節(jié)儉。

上文改述：In modern times, peoples motivation to save up and be thrifty declined once they had enough to meet their basic needs - the basic necessities needed to survive, like food, clothes and shelter and nothing extra. Once these basic needs were satisfied, people moved away from thrift into consumerism, the desire to buy luxury products which were not absolutely necessary. According to some, this created a moral slidea decrease in the standards of behaving in good, fair and honest ways.

現(xiàn)在，一旦人們的基本需要生存必需品，比如食物、衣服、住所得到滿足，省錢和節(jié)儉的動力就會下降。一旦滿足了基本需求，人們就會從節(jié)儉走向消費(fèi)主義，想買并不必要的奢侈品。有些人認(rèn)為這產(chǎn)生了一種道德滑坡：良好、恰當(dāng)、誠實(shí)的行為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的降低。

又一種改述：In recent times, peoples ability to meet their basic needs have reduced the importance of thrift, which some believe has created a moral slidea reduction in standards of moral behaviour.

現(xiàn)在，人們滿足基本需要生存必需品比如吃喝住的能力提高，削弱了節(jié)儉的重要性。有人認(rèn)為這導(dǎo)致道德滑坡道德行為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的下降。
