答案
We often talk about the success of a country, but when we stop to think about the measure of it we may find it difficult to define a clear criterion. It has long been a firm belief of some people that the criterion lies in the quality of life enjoyed by the people of a country regardless of whether it is rich or not in economic terms. According to them, a country can never be called a successful one if its people have a lot to complain about the life they are living even though they have a sufficient amount of money to spend. Thus, to follow their line of argumentation, the government of a country should try their utmost to satisfy every need of its citizens and make them happy instead of devoting all its efforts to the economic development. However, like many others who find it hard to agree fully with this opinion, I tend to take the general economic strength of a country as the basis for measurement. In the first place, the rich economy of a country is, as far as I see it, a prerequisite for the high quality life of its people. Only when a nation, big or small, focuses on its economic development can it provide enough jobs for its citizens, who in turn can earn sufficient income to pay for their life necessities, such as housing, clothing, food and education, which are all the key parameters of a happiness formula. Secondly, when it is rich, a country can channel more money into the development of public facilities and amenities, which obviously contribute a great deal to the life improvement of its people. In addition, the wealth of a country ensures its important status in the international community. Needless to say, with a strong economy, a nation will have a major role to play in world affairs. For instance, the United States and some other Western countries have a greater influence on the world than most of the others both politically and diplomatically simply because they have more economic edges among other things. In conclusion, only when the economy of a country is developed and its people are content with their life can this country be regarded as a successful country. A happy life in a poor country is simply impossible and even unimaginable in the world today.
解析
第一部分为文章的第一、二段。第一段引出话题,第二段对题目中给出的两种观点中的一种进行简单讨论后表明作者支持另外一种观点,(However,like many others who find it hard to agree fully with this opinion,I tend to take the general economic strength of a country as the basis for measurement.)这一观点构成了文章的主题思想。
第二部分为文章的第三段,这一部分从三个方面论述了为什么说一个国家的经济实力是衡量一个国家成功与否的标准。值得注意的是,作者在论述自己观点的同时批判了国家是否成功与金钱多少无关的看法。
第三部分为文章的第四段,作者对全文作出总结,这一部分与第二段最后的thesis statement在内容上是一致的,但从语言表达上作者最大限度地避免了重复,这就有效地增加了词汇的范围以及句子结构的多样性。
