范文：

  A first glance at this cartoon tells us that a matchmaker is attempting to create a crush between a man and a woman. But the veil on the head of the bride-to-be covers the fact that she is old and ugly, quite opposite to what the matchmaker is advertising. The picture further points out that the matchmaker symbolizes false advertisements and the woman low-quality products.

  The cartoon subtly reveals a phenomenon frequently happening in our society-the false commercial advertising and promotion. Their emergence firstly owes to the negative effect of a growing market economy which emphasizes competition. Economic loser fail to learn the lesson in retrospect, and dedicate themselves to cheating customers instead of improving the quality of products and services. False advertisement, seems to be most convenient to attract clients and increase profit in the short run.

  However, false advertising can greatly endanger individuals and the whole society. In the long run businesses may damage their own images by fake propaganda, which hurts consumer confidence. As the Chinese saying goes, "those who play fire are bound to get burned", it is only by genuine advertisement and qualified products that an enterprise can prosper.

译文：

    第一眼看这幅图时，我们看到的是一个媒婆正在努力让一对男女互相产生好感。但是我们很快就可以发现这个即将成为新娘的女人并不像媒婆说的那样好，而是又老又丑。这幅图进一步指出了这个媒婆象征了虚假广告，而女人象征了伪劣产品。

    这幅图指出了我们的社会中一个经常发生的现象--虚假的广告和推销。这种现象的出现部分是由于在市场经济迅速发展中，过于强调竞争而带来了一些负面效果。一些经济竞争的失败者们没有反思教训，反而尽力去欺骗消费者、不去提高产品和服务的质量。虚假广告在这个时候看起来是吸引消费者、在短期内增加利润的最便利的方法。

    但是，我们不可以忽视虚假广告会给消费者以及全社会利益带来极大的损害。此外，虚假的广告宣传伤害了消费者的信心，因此在长期看来会损害企业自身的形象。总的来说，正如一句中国古语所云："玩火者自焚"，只有企业通过真实的广告和高质量的产品才能繁荣发展。

范文：

  When answering the question of how to be a good actor, those from the 30s held the principle that one needed to learn how to be a man of integrity before acting, and those from the 60s thought it was most important to learn from life, while contemporary actors believe that the decisive factors include a pretty face and being good at publicity.

From the picture, we can see clearly that the ethics of the entertainment circles have gone through a tremendous transformation since the 1930s. No doubt, the artist aims at criticizing this abnormal phenomena in the entertainment industry. It is quite surprising that currently, many actors and actresses do not earn their fame through hard work but scandals, particularly sexual ones. Acting ability is no longer the most important determinant of an actor's success, which has been replaced by personal appearance, figure, fashion, and other factors-all of which are superficial elements.

Such a trend is definitely detrimental to long-range development of the industry and the actors' personality. The vogue may be translated into negatively impact on the young generation which composes a large portion of groupies. In my opinion, it is the common responsibility of government and the whole society to restore ethos of the 30s and 60s into the entertainment circles.

译文：

    当回答如何做一个好演员这个问题的时候，三十年代的演员坚持"先学做人，再学做事"的原则，六十年代的演员认为应该"深入生活、提高修养"，而现在的演员则认为关键的因素在于"漂亮脸蛋、善于炒作"

    从这幅图中，我们可以清楚地看到娱乐界的道德规范自从上个世纪30年代以来经历了巨大的变化。毫无疑问，画图者意在批评一个发生在娱乐圈的不正常现象。令人惊讶的是，现在许多演员不是通过努力工作来赢得名声，而是通过各种丑闻尤其是性丑闻。此外，演技不再是一个演员取得成功的重要决定因素，而是演员个人的外表、身材、时尚等，这些都是很肤浅的因素。

    但是，这种趋势必然会对娱乐业和演员的个性发展产生长期的不利影响。而且这种风气可能会影响到年轻一代，他们大多都是明星的崇拜者。我认为，政府和社会应该共同承担起责任，使得30年代和60年代的风气重新回到演艺界。
