答案 The cartoon depicts grassland with a fence in the middle. Sheep on both sides consider the grass on the other side is greener than that on their own side. The illustration is a symbolic representation of the popular English idiom "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Profoundly, the image shows the grass as equal on both sides of the fence, which may often be the case. No matter what possessions we own or what status we attain, we always find ourselves looking at our peers and seeing their lives as better than our own. People afflicted with this notion often make unwise decisions such as leaving their partners, changing careers or moving to new cities, obsessed by the possibility of something better. Perhaps it is out of our curiosity, or never-ending questioning of our own decisions or even our gambling natures. But the possibility of something better or different will always have appeal to the human soul. The idiom represented in this image can humorously be contrasted with another. "You don’t know what you have until it’s gone." It is frequently observed that offer getting divorced, a man regrets having done so; not long after resigning from a job, a person misses advantages of his former job. In a word, people should ovoid comparing with others blindly and should hove confidence in what they have had already.
解析     本文是图画式现象解释型作文。图中大的背景是一片草地，草地中间是一排篱笆，篱笆两侧各有几只羊。两侧的羊都认为对方的草地比自己这侧的草地绿。因此这个图画正应了一句流行的英语谚语"草总是篱笆另一边的绿"，汉语中类似的表达是"这山望着那山高"。图画中的信息告诉我们：人们总是在和别人进行比较，总发现别人的生活比自己好。而有这种观念的人常常做出不智之举。在确定了这个主旨之后，可以用一些例证及阐述来证明观点的正确性，在结尾处应该重述观点，首尾呼应，自然得出结论。
