由于國內英語教學中寫作訓練薄弱，大批學生只會單詞，不懂語境和搭配，出現了各種可笑的中文思維現象。我們寫作教學中專門強調語感的培養，除單詞記憶和句型操練之外，在此專門選編了300個閃光的英文句子，涉及面很廣，并配有譯文。讀者可以在閱讀中仔細領會每句話表達的妙處，遣詞造句的獨特設計。也可以作為寫作的范本加以背誦，提高自己的語感和閃光點意識。

　　176. Parents are not wrong in enforcing good study habits， but they must not do so at the expense of stifling normal child development.

　　家長把好的學習習慣強加給孩子沒有錯，但是，他們這么做不能以抑制兒童的正常發展為代價。

　　177. It is quite reasonable to assume that modern science and technology (ST) will continue to advance. It is no less reasonable to believe that ST will radically improve the way we live. However， the same reasoning cannot be applied to improving social interaction.

　　假定現代科學技術將繼續進步是很有道理的。相信科技會大幅度地改變我們的生活方式也是同樣有道理的。然而，同樣的邏輯不能用于改善社會上的相互作用。

　　178. Belief in the wonders of modern medical science is quite understandable. It is also quite possible that our faith in the ability of scientists to find the key for prolonging life is well-founded. Yet， the wisdom of prolonging life remains in question when considering the already massive global population and projected future growth.

　　相信現代醫學的奇跡是可以理解的。很有可能我們相信科學家能夠找到延長生命的關鍵也是有根據的。但是，考慮到已經非常龐大的世界人口和預計的未來的增長，延長生命是否明智仍有疑問。

　　179. It is one thing to support euthanasia， but quite another to offer any justification for genocide.

　　支持安樂死是一回事，為種族滅絕提供正當的理由是另一回事。

　　180. Claiming the need for censorship is one thing， but rationally proving its redeeming values represents a quite different issue.

　　主張審查制度的必要性是一回事，理智地證明它的可取之處是完全不同的另一回事。

　　中東和平的可能性仍讓人懷疑。

　　183. The necessity for nuclear nonproliferation seems clear.

　　防止核擴散的必要性似乎清清楚楚。

　　184. It is perhaps more accurate to consider the family as a blanket of security， rather than a cloak of bondage.

　　把家庭看作保護安全的毯子可能比把它看作束縛的斗篷更確切。

　　185. While generalizations are dangerous， it is quite safe to present solid evidence.

　　抽象概括是危險的，但是，提供確鑿的證據是萬無一失的。

　　186. It seems almost certain that China will achieve this years economic growth targets.

　　中國將完成今年經濟增長的目標似乎是毫無疑問的。
