题目

In some countries, people waste a lot of food which is bought in shops and restaurants. What do you think are the reasons? What can be done to solve this problem?

解题思路

本题为说明文的典型形态:寻找原因+给出解法。处理此类题目的时候,需要尽量保证原因和解法之间存在明确关系,同时尽量回避一些大而化之的回应,包括但不限于“政府应该处理”和“人民应该提高意识”。在寻找原因时,通用技巧为考虑“什么东西多了”“什么东西少了”“我们是否能够做这件事”—通常来说,总是能给出至少一个回应

参考范文

The increasing seriousness of food wasting is drawing attention to this issue. In fact, this is especially common for people to toss away food they brought from shops or restaurants. The need of solving this problem goes undoubtedly, which makes it necessary to identify the root reasons.

食物浪费的日益严重引起了人们对这个问题的关注。事实上,人们把从商店或餐馆带来的食物扔掉是很常见的。解决这个问题的必要性是毋庸置疑的,这就需要找出问题的根源。

The most simple and obvious reason to explain this rather troublesome situation would be “because we can”, due to not only the development in economy, but also the accompanying increasing tendency of being hypercritical about what one eat. In the past, when the lack of food was much more obvious and pressing, any behavior of wasting food, which is in fact unlikely to occur, would be strictly prohibited by people nearby-this can still be seen occasionally in China. However, with developing modern technology, the production and transportation of food has been greatly improved. And naturally, with growing availability, comes growing pickiness.

解释这一相当棘手的局面,最简单明了的原因是“因为我们可以”,这不仅是因为经济的发展,也因为人们对饮食越来越挑剔的趋势。在过去,当缺乏食物是更加明显和紧迫的,任何浪费食物的行为,实际上不太可能发生,将被严格禁止的人,这仍然可以看到偶尔在中国。然而,随着现代技术的发展,食品的生产和运输有了很大的改善。自然地,随着可用性的增加,挑剔也越来越多。

Before providing any reasonable and practical solution to this problem, one must first appreciate that it is actually people’ rights to discard anything that is rightfully theirs-we can never do anything righteous to stop people buying food; it would surely infuriate both the buyers and the sellers. But, there is something we can do after people eat: no matter people have the food eat in or take away, there would always be remains. And it would be much easier, fairer, and possible to control them. For example, a higher tax can be imposed upon people with too much left on their plate or in their dustbin, and that money can be put into researches about food distribution or food recycling, in hope to solve this technology-caused problem technologically.

在为这个问题提供任何合理和实际的解决方案之前,我们必须首先认识到,人们有权丢弃任何他们有权丢弃的东西——我们永远不能做任何正义的事情来阻止人们购买食物;这肯定会激怒买卖双方。但是,在人们吃完之后,我们可以做一些事情:无论人们吃进或带走的食物,总会有残留。这样就更容易、更公平、更有可能控制它们。例如,可以对盘子里或垃圾箱里有太多食物的人征收更高的税,而这些钱可以投入到食品分配或食品回收的研究中,希望从技术上解决这个技术引起的问题。
