Recently, the news that English will occupy less percentage in Chinese traditional college-entrance examination in the following years has aroused a heated discussion among the public, especially among students.
最近，有消息稱我國高考將在近幾年內降低英語所佔分值，這一消息在廣大衆們中引起了熱烈討論，尤其是在學生中間。There are two different views towards the news. On the one hand, those students who consider learning English as a boring and difficult task and those who are not good at learning English sing high praise of it, because the lower percentage of English will narrow their gap with those who can get higher score in English. In other words, the lower of percentage of English makes it more possible for them to reach better colleges or universities. However, on the opposite side, those who do well in learning English will feel disappointed as their advantage will be lowered if the percentage of English is lowered. 對此消息有兩種不同的看法。一是，那些認爲英語很難學很枯燥或是討厭學英語的學生對此消息表示很支持, 因爲英語分值的降低會縮小他們跟那些擅長英語學習的學生之間的差距。這也意味着他們有更大機會考上好的大學。然而，相反的，如果高考降低英語分值，那些英語成績好的學生會感到失落，因爲他們將會失去優勢。As far as I am concerned, in a long term, the lower percentage of English in college-entrance examination is not good for the overall development of students, it is not good for improving the whole nation’s English, and is not good for communication with foreign countries. In a word, examination is a great motivation for second-language learners, and there is no doubt that the lower percentage of English in Chinese traditional college-entrance examination will bring some further negative impact to students.在我看來，從長遠來看降低高考中英語的比重不利於學生的全面發展，不利於提高本國國民的英語水平，不利於與海外國家的交流。總之，考試對於第二語言的學習者來說是個很好的激勵，毫無疑問高考英語比重的降低將對學生產生負面影響。
