My View on Examination

Welive in a world full of competition, part of which includes examinations.Unfortunately, our fate and future are determined by it. We need to pass theCollege Entrance Exam to enter university; excel in interviews to obtain a job;pass the driving test to acquire a driver’s license. Examinations take place ineveryday life of common people; hence we have got too accustomed to it torealize its negative side.

我們生活在一個充滿競爭的世界里，其中一部分包括考試。不幸的是，我們的未來被它決定著。我們需要通過高考進(jìn)入大學(xué)；通過面試貨的工作；通過車試獲得駕照�？荚嚧嬖谟诿總�人的生活中，因此我們得意識到它的負(fù)面性。

Thefacts speak for themselves that examinations have become a yardstick of successand failure in today’s society. Its efficiency of measurement may explain partof its popularity, but does it truly reflect a person’s ability and aptitude?

事實(shí)不言自明，在當(dāng)今社會考試成為了測量成功與失敗的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。也許正因?yàn)檫@樣才如此的流行，但是這真的能夠測出一個人的能力和天賦么？

Itis vital to make such a fact clear that examinations cannot test what we know,but what we remember. A student with a good memory may find it very effectiveto cram all the knowledge into mind before examinations. In this sense, it is veryunfair for the students who work hard all the time. Since no one performs athis best all the time, examinees are no exceptions. Some unexpected accidentshappened to them like a sudden headache will affect the outcome, thus fail thestudent.

至關(guān)重要的是，事實(shí)上，考試并不能測試我們所知道的東西，而是我們記得的。一個記憶好的學(xué)生很容易在考試前死記硬背下所有的知識點(diǎn)。就這種意義來說，這對學(xué)得很辛苦的學(xué)生來說是很不公平的。但沒人能夠從始至終都表現(xiàn)得很好的，考試也不例外。意想不到的事情總會發(fā)生，例如突然的頭痛會影響結(jié)果，然后學(xué)生可能就會失利。

Iwould like to put forward my heart-felt proposal that one day some morescientific and humanized method will replace the old tradition. With effortsfrom educationists and other related professionals, hopefully, it will notremain a dream only.

我衷心地提議，有一天通過教育者和相關(guān)人士的努力，會有更加科學(xué)，更加人性化的模式來替代這種舊傳統(tǒng)。希望這不會只是一個夢想。
