　　范文赏析

　　Dear Emily,

　　It is said in your letter that you felt depressed because you couldn't afford the fashionable clothes while other students wore fashionable clothes. In my opinion, it is not necessary for you to pay more attention to it.

　　At first, you have to be aware of the importance of study. Consequently, whatever you wear, it is your performance in your study that attracts others at the first sight.

　　Secondly, frugality is a traditional virtue of Chinese nation. You have to cultivate the concept of saving money which is obtained from the many efforts that your parents paid. In addition, your family has no ability to provide more money for you. As a result, it is advisable for you to get out of the obsessiveness on the fashionable clothes.

　　I wish you can realize what is more important in our life and correct your attitude towards the fashionable clothes.

　　Yours,

　　Cindy

　　译文

　　亲爱的埃米莉：

　　你信中说其他同学穿着时髦的衣服而你因为买不起时尚的衣服感觉很沮丧。其实在我看来，根本没必要关注这些。

　　第一，你要明白学习的重要性。这样无论你穿什么，别人第一眼看到的是你在学习上的表现。

　　第二，节俭是中华民族的传统美德。你必须要培养存钱的好习惯，这些钱都是父母努力挣来的。此外，你的家人也没有能力拿出更多的钱给你了。因此，对你来说走出对时尚服饰的执念才是明智的。

　　我希望你能够意识到生活中什么才是更重要的，更正对时尚衣服的态度吧。

　　你的好朋友
