专八题目：
College Students’ Image Reconsidered
专八范文：
Nowadays, college students comprised of the post-80 generation and the post-90 generation are always put in the storm of criticisms. To list a few of these criticisms, they are accused of being spoiled by their parents, for the majority of them are the only children of their families. Brought up in the social contextof opening up and reform, they are always renounced by the older generation that they have been westernized looking to western cultures as fashionable and being cynical the Chinese counterpart. Given more and more college graduates have difficulties in finding decent jobs, they are perceived by the older generations as not competent as college students of the older generations.However, I am of opinion that the aforementioned negative image is imposed upon the post-80 and -90 generations, which is unfair.
现如今，大多数大学学生出生于80年代和90年代，他们受到了人们的广泛批评。下面是一些列举的案例，他们是一些被父母宠爱的孩子，绝大部分的学生都是独生子女。他们是在改革开放以后成长起来的孩子们，老一代的人们认为他们受到了西方文化的影响，他们认为西方文化更时尚，并排斥中国文化。现如今，许多大学生很难找到工作，年龄稍大一点的人认为他们没有以前大学生有竞争力。但是，我认为这些消极的思想全部归罪于80、90后是不公平的。
Firstly, as the majority of post-80 and -90 generation college students are at school or in the lower layers of social myriad, they are vulnerable to their superior’s judgments. As is known, those older generations were brought up in a less affluent and isolated society, they were denied a favorable social background. College students in the past had to work harder to be admitted due to the limited resources of higher learning. When they were in college, many could not gain allowance from their families so that they got into the habit of frugality. Before the adoption of opening up policy, it's difficult for them to get access to foreign cultures, not to mention American movies and Japanese cartoons.
首先，绝大部分的80、90后大学生都是在校学生，或是处于社会的底层，他们总是受到老者的批评。众所周知，这些老者都是在贫苦的社会长大的，他们缺少良好的社会环境。过去的大学生必须非常努力，这是因为当时的高等教育资源极其有限。在大学期间，许多人没有家庭给予的津贴，所以，他们养成了节省的习惯。在改革开放之前，他们很难接触到外国文化，更不要提美国电影，或是日本卡通。
As a result, those older generations are likely to deem any behaviors different from their own experiencesas unacceptable and due to their seniority they are able to express their judgments on various occasions. On the contrary, the post-80 and -90 generations can not voice their opinions in a society dominated by the older generations. Secondly, admittedly, part of the post-80 and -90 college students fit into the negative image, but they can not represent all the college students. According to our experience, there are students who are obsessed with computer games, who spend a lot of time keeping love affairs, and who spend money in an extravagant manner. In comparison with these students, the majority of the post-80 and -90 students can fit into an ideal model of college students. Some absorb themselves in the library all day long. Some take part-time jobs in their spare time to pay for tuition fees. Some voluntarily go to the remote areas to teach poverty-stricken students. I was wondering why the media do not provide more reports of those positive aspects of the post-80 and -90 generation college students.
所以，这些年龄稍大一些的老者很有可能不会接受不同的社会现象，由于他们有更多的经验教训，他们能够在不同场合表达自己的看法。相反，那些80、90后无法表达自己的想法，因为这个社会充斥着一些德高望重的人。第二，无可否认，部分80、90后学生确实造成了一些负面影响，但是，他们不能够代表所有的学生。根据我们的经验，他们沉迷于电脑游戏、谈恋爱、大把花钱。与这些学生相比，绝大部分的80、90后学生都是合格的大学生。许多学生在图书馆刻苦学习。许多还在业余时间做兼职赚取学费。许多还去偏远山区志愿教学。为什么媒体不能报道一些80、90后大学生积极的一面呢。
On all accounts, the negative image is imposed by those established older generations, and can not represent all the college students. As a member of the post 80 and 90 college students, I believe that we will still be the backbone of our society in the future.
总之，这些消极形象都是老一代人所树立的，这并不能代表所有的大学生。作为80、90后的大学生，我相信，未来我们仍然是社会的主力军。
