題目：政府投資藝術(shù)
新舊題情況：舊題
Some people think that the money spent by the government in supporting artist (such as painters, musicians and writers) should be spent on other more important things. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
政府是否應(yīng)該絕對(duì)不資助藝術(shù)家呢? 或者說,，資助藝術(shù)家會(huì)帶來什么好處和壞處呢?
很顯然,，藝術(shù)是屬于超越現(xiàn)實(shí)的東西，政府首先應(yīng)該解決民生問題,，包括衣食住行等基本問題,，但是這并不意味著政府應(yīng)該絕對(duì)不資助藝術(shù)家，因?yàn)閺默F(xiàn)實(shí)的角度看,，藝術(shù)其實(shí)也可以為政府帶來收入,，同時(shí)藝術(shù)還可以改善人們的精神狀態(tài)，起到凝聚人心的作用,。從這個(gè)角度看,，政府其實(shí)也應(yīng)該適度資助藝術(shù)家的工作。

范文賞析：
Many people consider any government investment on artists such as painters, musicians, and poets as wasteful because the government should put the tax-payers’money to more crucial things. While I do believe there are things more pivotal than art, I insist that artists should also be financially supported by the government.
很多人認(rèn)為,，政府對(duì)藝術(shù)家(如畫家,、音樂家和詩人)的任何投資都是浪費(fèi)，因?yàn)檎畱?yīng)該把納稅人的錢投放到更重要的事情,。雖然我確實(shí)相信有的東西比藝術(shù)更重要,，但我依舊堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為藝術(shù)家也應(yīng)得到政府財(cái)政支持,。

Needless to say, the top priority for any government is improving the living standard of its citizens. Paintings, music, and literature are needed by people only when their basic necessities are satisfied. It is hard, therefore, to imagine a government will give immense amount of money to artists when its people are still suffering from poverty.
不用說，任何政府的首要任務(wù)都是改善公民的生活條件,。只有基本生活必需品得到滿足后,，人們才會(huì)需要繪畫、音樂和文學(xué),。因此,，當(dāng)人們還在遭受貧窮時(shí)，很難想像某個(gè)政府會(huì)把大量的錢投給藝術(shù)家,。

Yet this does not mean that any investment on artists is a waste of money. In the first place, art can become a lucrative business and bring a lot of revenue to a country, even when it is still poor. India is a good case in point. Its movie industry since 1970s has created millions of jobs and brought tons of money to India in addition to boosting the country’s tourism. Furthermore, art can improve people’s mental state and bring them together, especially when a country is confronted with crisis. The entire United States, for example, was paralyzed right after the 911 terrorist attack, but it quickly recovered from that paralysis, largely because American people were inspired by the artistic works which encourage them to face the reality and move on.
然而這并不意味著對(duì)藝術(shù)家的任何投資都是在浪費(fèi)錢,。首先，藝術(shù)可以成為一門賺錢的生意,，給國家?guī)泶罅康氖杖?，即使?dāng)這個(gè)國家還很貧窮的時(shí)候。印度就是一個(gè)很恰當(dāng)?shù)睦?。自上世紀(jì)70 年代以來,，其電影產(chǎn)業(yè)已給印度創(chuàng)造數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，并掙了不計(jì)其數(shù)的給錢,，同時(shí)還促進(jìn)了該國旅游業(yè),。此外，藝術(shù)可以改善人的心理狀態(tài),，使他們團(tuán)結(jié)起來,，尤其是當(dāng)一個(gè)國家處于危機(jī)時(shí)。比如,，911恐怖襲擊后,，整個(gè)美國處于癱瘓狀態(tài)，但它很快就從這種癱瘓狀態(tài)中蘇醒過來了,，很大程度上就是因?yàn)槊绹耸艿剿囆g(shù)作品的鼓舞,，這些作品鼓勵(lì)他們面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)，繼續(xù)前進(jìn),。

Seen in this light, art is anything but useless, for it is not only profitable economically, but also inspiring spiritually. When people’s basic needs are met, art will definitely become an important part of their life. When this happens, the government’s investment on art will become absolutely necessary and relevant.
從這個(gè)角度看,，藝術(shù)絕非毫無用處，因?yàn)樗粌H在經(jīng)濟(jì)上可以盈利,，而且在精神上還可鼓舞人心,。當(dāng)人們的基本需求得到滿足時(shí)，藝術(shù)將肯定會(huì)成為他們生活的重要組成部分,。在這種情況下,，政府對(duì)藝術(shù)的投資就會(huì)變得絕對(duì)必要和有理。
