    Sample Essay
    The intensity of today's media coverage has been greatly magnified by the sheer number and types of media outlets that are available today. Intense competition for the most revealing photographs and the latest information on a subject has turned even minor media events into so-called "media frenzies". Reporters are forced by the nature of the competition to pry ever deeper for an angle on a story that no one else has been able to uncover. With this type of media coverage, it does become more and more likely that anyone who is subjected to it will have his or her reputation tarnished, as no individual is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. The advances in technology have made much information easily and instantaneously available. Technology has also made it easier to dig further than ever before into a person's past, increasing the possibility that the subject's reputation may be harmed.
    [范文正文]
    當(dāng)今媒體報(bào)道的力度,由于當(dāng)今時(shí)代所能獲得的媒體渠道那前所未有的數(shù)量和種類,從而被極大地增強(qiáng)。圍繞著對(duì)最具暴露性的圖片及對(duì)某一題材最新信息所展開的競(jìng)爭(zhēng),使哪怕是次要的媒體事件也轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)樗^的"媒體瘋狂".由于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的本質(zhì),記者們被迫就某一項(xiàng)報(bào)道作深度采訪,以其窺探到一個(gè)任何其他人都無(wú)法揭示的視角。隨著這類媒體報(bào)道的出現(xiàn),任何被置于媒體報(bào)道之下的人,其名譽(yù)越來(lái)越有可能被玷污,因?yàn)?金無(wú)赤金,人無(wú)完人".每個(gè)人都有可能犯錯(cuò)誤。技術(shù)進(jìn)步使大量的信息在第一瞬間便被輕易獲取。技術(shù)也使媒體得以比以往任何時(shí)候更深入地去挖掘一個(gè)人的過(guò)去,從而更增加了當(dāng)事人名譽(yù)受損的可能性。
    The above statement is much too broad, however. "Anyone" covers all people all over the world. There are people whose reputations have only been enhanced by media scrutiny. There are also people whose reputations were already so poor that media scrutiny could not possibly diminish it any further. There may very well be people that have done nothing wrong in the past, at least that can be discovered by the media, whose reputations could not be diminished by media scrutiny. To broadly state that "anyone" subjected to media coverage will have his or her status sullied implies that everyone's reputation worldwide is susceptible to damage under any type of media scrutiny. What about children, particularly newborn children? What about those people whose past is entirely unknown?
    然則,上述陳述涵蓋面過(guò)于寬泛。"任何人"涵蓋了世界上所有的人。有些人的名譽(yù)反而會(huì)因?yàn)槊襟w的聚焦而陡然顯赫起來(lái)。也有些人,其名聲早就如此之糟糕,以致于媒體的聚焦再也無(wú)法讓它受到更壞的毀損。籠統(tǒng)地陳述受媒體報(bào)道的"任何人"均會(huì)使其地位被玷污,這暗示著全球每個(gè)人的名聲在任何種類的媒體聚焦下均易于遭詬病。那么,對(duì)于天真無(wú)辜的孩子們,尤其新生嬰兒,情況會(huì)如何?對(duì)于那些其過(guò)去根本無(wú)人知曉的人來(lái)說(shuō),情況又會(huì)是什么樣呢?
    Another problem with such a broad statement is that it does not define the particular level of media scrutiny. Certainly there are different levels of media coverage. Does merely the mention of one's name in a newspaper constitute media scrutiny? What about the coverage of a single event in someone's life, for example a wedding or the birth of a baby? Is the media coverage of the heroic death of a firefighter or police officer in the line of duty ever going to diminish that person's reputation? It seems highly unlikely that in these examples, although these people may have been subjected to media scrutiny, these individual's reputations are undamaged and potentially enhanced by such exposure.
    對(duì)于這樣一項(xiàng)籠統(tǒng)的陳述而言,它的另一個(gè)問(wèn)題是沒能明晰界定媒體聚焦的具體程度。媒體的報(bào)道毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)存在程度上的差別。只在報(bào)紙上提及一個(gè)人的名字,是否算作媒體聚焦?對(duì)某人一生中單獨(dú)一次事件(如婚禮或孩子出生)的報(bào)道這也算媒介聚焦嗎?媒體對(duì)消防隊(duì)員或警官因公而死的英雄壯舉進(jìn)行報(bào)道,難道也會(huì)毀損該人的名聲嗎?在這些實(shí)例中,其名聲受損的事情極不可能發(fā)生。雖然這些人可能被置于媒體審視之下,但其名聲卻會(huì)完好無(wú)損,且潛在地可因這些披露而得以提高。 感謝您閱讀《Issue寫作范文詳細(xì)解析(1) 》一文,出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
