小編： 1292008年的考題：問明天對(duì)個(gè)人和社會(huì)的重要與否？
寫于北京雨夜無眠，聽得蟬聲，隨筆：
夜月殘，三更星稀。庭院深處，梧桐青葉墜，雨滴花落，流螢飛過，羅幕垂，秋千靜。西窗一聲蟬鳴。他鄉(xiāng)客，莫上危樓，夢(mèng)里識(shí)得天涯路。
寫到此沒有了情懷，覺得寫出的文字，做不到“詞秀”，更談不上“骨秀”和“神韻”，聽得窗外落雨滴答，隨有起筆寫了這英文，隨便落筆，未必嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，只是隨性隨心的小品，而且脫離了雅思的一些約束。比如字?jǐn)?shù)偏多等，如承蒙斧正，不勝感激。
The word “tomorrow” has been frequently used as a synonym of “hope”. It becomes the great beacon light to the millions. Alas, who knows exactly what tomorrow will be?
Tomorrow is believed to be important to the individuals because human beings as separate individual persons struggling in the process of time and space are not, generally speaking, satisfied with what they already have had. Those who have been considered to have already achieved tremendous success in the society, such as those profiteers and shrewd bankers, desire to live a “better” life and find a “better way’ to make more money. Therefore, they have the ambition about their future. They want to do something “better” tomorrow. In stark contrast, those who have been labeled as “l(fā)osers” in the society have the aspiration to make a change in “tomorrow”. For instance, the undergraduates who have failed to secure themselves in the job market might hope to study a master degree so that they will have a shaper competitive edge in “tomorrow”.
In terms of a specific society, “tomorrow” means the opportunity to develop, a word in many senses. Thinking about less developed countries, we find that nine out of ten such states or regions are working and weaving a beautiful “dream” of tomorrow. The governors and the governed alike are visioning a “bright and better” future of material prosperity. They are weaving “a promised land” rich in the honey and milk. Focusing on the developed ones, however, we perceive that such sovereignties are yet unsatisfied with their status quo. They want to “l(fā)ead” others to live a “similar”, if not the “same”, life as they do, even though they essentially complain much about their own ways. In this case, “tomorrow” means the opportunity to influence those cultures under which the prevailing political ideas and ideals, the way people live, and the fundamental values are distinctly divergent from what have been deemed “correct”.
To conclude, neither individuals nor the human beings as a whole are satisfied with the “past and present”. Instead, they have dreams, ambitions, and aspirations. As a result, “tomorrow” becomes a critical factor that encourages developments.
