托福独立写作范文点评——Luck and hard work

对于大家的托福写作备考来说，仅仅提供给你一篇范文，好像还是缺了点什么。那么，在以下的内容中我们就是为大家总标题的分析到论据的详解，详详细细的为大家解题托福文章的写作。

Topic：Luck and hard work

"When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success." Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.

参考分析：nothing是一个绝对词，所以，不能完全同意也不能完全不同意。选择“很大程度上同意”。指出luck确实存在，指出可能导致人们成功的若干原因：诚实、睿智、幽默；执著；肯于做不喜欢的事情。

范文：

不同意，实际上运气在人成功的过程中也很重要：

（1）先肯定努力是成功不可或缺的一部分。

（2）在找工作的过程中，同样优秀的人在申请工作的时候不一定就都会被接受，而两个人的人生道路就非常不同，或者从申请签证的角度来说也可以。

（3）别人帮助可以根本不费努力而成功。

There is a humorous saying in English "The grass is always greener on the other side of the valley." The saying is used ironically（讽刺的）to point out that there is a temptation（引诱物）in us all to insist that others are more fortunate than we are. This is nowhere（一事无成）more true than on the question of luck and hard work. When faced with the "bad times", we often find comfort in the idea that we are special in our degree of misfortune. I feel that such an attitude is negative, and that it can bring only further misfortune.

Many famously successful people have begun from small origins. Mao was the son of a (modestly prosperous) peasant; the explorer Captain Cook was so poor that, as a child, he had to work by day and study by night; many of the affluent Americans of today are the children of the poor immigrants of yesterday. Beethoven（贝多芬）, it should be remembered, became deaf before the end of his career. There are many, many more people who have also made genuine, though Jess spectacular, successes against the odds.

Within his own terms, a person who is born into poverty（贫困的）in India is a great success if he manages to own a house in later life. Poverty cannot be reduced by merely complaining and blaming others: no matter how guilty other people are, each individual must reach out to success for himself. Indeed, some economists believe that the world operates by what they call "the rule of the jungle." They believe that in economics a person always attempts to gain profit from his neighbor: that given the chance the poor man would quickly make himself rich by trading to his own advantage.

Also, it is presumptuous（专横的）to judge another according to his or her apparent fortune. No man can ever truly understand the sufferings of his neighbor. A man who appears comfortably rich may have suffered elsewhere in his life - through the death of a loved one, for example. Retired businessmen have often worked long hours in their youth. Surely, it must be wiser to respect achievement than to deny that anyone has achieved good in the world.

To rely on notions of luck - to believe that life is a kind of lottery（碰运气的事；彩票）- is an attempt to escape reality（是企图脱离现实的表现）. Paradoxically,（自相矛盾地，相反地）the only time a person can claim that luck is more important than work is when he reflects on his own success. Because of that modesty, the great man then becomes even greater.（小编认为文章作者用了很漂亮的例子，文章没有正面论证他的观点，而是通过许多伟人都知在逆境中努力获得成功，由此来证明lucky has nothing to do with success，我认为这样的写法非常体现作者的critical thinking和论证功底，用了很多高难词，希望大家把这篇文章拿下去好好学习一下）
