专八题目：
Why Do People Like to Try Their Luck on Lottery?
专八范文：
When you walk on the street, you may see a lot of people rushing into some shops or gathering together buying lotteries, such as welfare lottery tickets, sports lottery tickets and so on. Perhaps you will be shocked by their enthusiasm for such kind of things. Some even spend a large amount of money on them in order to increase the possibility of winning the prize. If the lotteries fail their expectations, they get so disappointed that they may curse or even beat themselves. I think people try their luck on lottery for several reasons.
当你走在大街上，你会看见许多人在商店中，或是聚在一起买彩票，例如福利彩票、体育彩票等。或许，你会对他们对彩票的喜爱感到震惊。许多人甚至会花大量金钱买彩票，这样可以提高获奖的概率。如果他们没有中奖，他们会感到非常失望，甚至会发生暴力冲突。我认为人们购买彩票的原因有许多。
First of all, they try their luck because they want to win a large sum of money with just a little effort.They may think their idea is justified and the dream is not far away. They cherish the hope of getting rich overnight. As is reported by CCTV, a man in Shandong province becomes a criminal after his failure of trying his luck. He has spent all his money on the lottery. He now becomes homeless and leads a miserable life. As far as I am concerned, trying one’s luck on lottery is like gambling. You do not know the rate of winning back your money but you cannot resist the lure of having a try, which is, almost surely, disastrous. Very few people can succeed in this business.
首先，他们买彩票是因为他们想付出最少的努力挣更多的钱。他们认为他们的想法是合情合理的，他们的梦想也不会遥远。他们想一夜暴富。就像中央台所报道的，山东一男子在买彩票失利后竟然走上了犯罪的道路。为了买彩票，他花去了所有的钱。他现在无家可归，生活窘迫。我认为，买彩票就像是赌博。你不知道挣钱的概率会有多大，但是你却禁不住诱惑去进行尝试，这实在是一种灾难。很少有人能够成功。
Secondly, the society is getting more commercial and material than before. People work just for more money.In other words, some of them prefer money to morals. They are thinking of some shortcut to get rich in the society. I think the social climate exerts a subtle influence on their psychology. We need to clean the social climate for a better humane environment. We should educate people to earn their living by honest labor rather than trying the luck on lottery.
第二，社会变得比以往更加物质化、商业化。人们工作的目的就是赚钱。换句话说，许多人宁愿挣钱而舍掉道德。他们想通过走捷径来挣钱。我认为社会氛围影响了人们的心理。我们需要净化社会风气，并为人类创造更好的环境。我们应该教导人们靠双手劳动挣钱，而不是去玩彩票。
Finally, the popularity of buying lottery is due to the gap between the rich and poor. The income gap has become a reason for this activity. The rich becomes richer and richer, while the poor becomes poorer and poorer. This has stimulated some people to try the luck on the lottery.
最后，购买彩票的热潮是因为贫富差异而起。收入上的差异是这种活动的原因。富的越来越富，穷的越来越穷。这就导致更多的人尝试买彩票。
To sum up, we should discourage people from buying the lottery. Meanwhile, we should better our social welfare system so that more people can get rich.
总结，我们不应该鼓励人们买彩票。同时，我们应该完善社会的福利制度，这样人们才能富起来。
