參考范文
“It is difficulties that show what men are.” The saying, which means that only difficulties can reveal one’s true colors, seems to remind everyone not to be afraid of difficulties. 1
As is known to us all, everyone will come across various difficulties or even get into trouble in their life. However, when facing difficulties, different people have different attitudes. Some feel discouraged and draw back while others rise up to them and fight bravely. Some embrace difficulties with optimism while others escape from reality and never rise above the hardships. 2 How can we face difficulties properly? In my opinion, the following approaches can help you tide over them smoothly. 3
In the first place, 4 keep positive and optimistic, which can help you go through any tough period of your life. Secondly, 4 embrace any difficulty as a gift instead of flinching from it, which allows you to appreciate your life whether you are in adversity or favorable circumstances. Thirdly, 4 never lose heart and surrender to whatever befalls, which can help you learn from your defeat and improve your ability to take a turn for the better. 4
“是困難讓我們看到真正的自己”。這句話意味著只有困難才能夠展示一個(gè)人的本色。它似乎也提醒著每個(gè)人都不要害怕困難。
眾所周知，每個(gè)人都會(huì)遇到各式各樣的困難，甚至在生活中陷入困境。然而，面對(duì)困難，不同的人會(huì)有不同的態(tài)度。一些人氣餒并退縮了，而另外一些人會(huì)挺身而出并勇敢地與之抗?fàn)?。一些人?huì)樂(lè)觀地接受，而另外一些人則會(huì)逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)并且無(wú)法從困苦中走出。如何能正確地面對(duì)困難？在我看來(lái)，如下幾種方法可以幫你順利渡過(guò)難關(guān)。
首先，應(yīng)保持積極和樂(lè)觀的心態(tài)，這能夠幫你挺過(guò)人生中任何困難的時(shí)期。第二，像接受禮物一樣接受困難，而不是去逃避，這可以使你不管在困境還是順境中都能欣賞人生。第三，永遠(yuǎn)不要失去信心。不論發(fā)生什么都不要放棄，這可以幫助你從失敗中吸取教訓(xùn)，提升自我，將逆境轉(zhuǎn)化成順境。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. It is difficulties that show what men are.
本句采用的是強(qiáng)調(diào)句式，即：It is+被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+that+其他。另外，本句中what men are是賓語(yǔ)從句，作show的賓語(yǔ)。
2. Secondly, embrace any difficulty as a gift instead of flinching from it, which allows you to appreciate your life whether you are in adversity or favorable circumstances.
