现在很多学生总是在考试中作弊，这已成为各大高校流行的一种奇怪的现象。

Why do most college students always cheat in exams? For one thing, those students are very lazy. They don’t study hard, but they still want to get high marks, thus their vanities force them to do so. For another, they don’t regard honesty as a virtue, and they don’t think cheating is a shame, either. Besides, there are too many exams, and those exams are a little difficult for them.

为什么这么多的大学生会在考试中作弊呢？一方面是，因为这些学生都十分的懒惰。他们不努力学习却想要好的成绩，这种虚荣心迫使他们在考场中作弊。另一方面，他们不将诚实视为应当的美德，他们还认为欺骗没什么大不了的。此外，他们有很多考试要参加，这些考试对他们来说都不容易。

In my view, cheating in exams is misconduct. Firstly, it’s self-deceptive. Cheating others is to cheat themselves, which will be of great harm in the long run. Secondly, if those who cheat in the exams can get a scholarship, it will be unfair for the students who work very hard. Therefore, as college students, we must be honest and study hard. I believe all of our efforts will be paid off.

我认为考试作弊是种不正当的行为。首先，这种做法是在自欺欺人。欺骗他人也是在欺骗他们自己，在以后会产生不好的影响。其次，如果这些作弊者获得奖学金，那么这对那些努力学习的学生很不公平。因此，大学生们要诚信要好好学习。我相信我们的努力总会得到回报的。

考试之我见 My View on Examination

We live in a world full of competition, part of which includes examinations. Unfortunately, our fate and future are determined by it. We need to pass the College Entrance Exam to enter university; excel in interviews to obtain a job; pass the driving test to acquire a driver’s license. Examinations take place in everyday life of common people; hence we have got too accustomed to it to realize its negative side.

我们生活在一个充满竞争的世界里，其中一部分包括考试。不幸的是，我们的未来被它决定着。我们需要通过高考进入大学；通过面试货的工作；通过车试获得驾照。考试存在于每个人的生活中，因此我们得意识到它的负面性。

The facts speak for themselves that examinations have become a yardstick of success and failure in today’s society. Its efficiency of measurement may explain part of its popularity, but does it truly reflect a person’s ability and aptitude?

事实不言自明，在当今社会考试成为了测量成功与失败的标准。也许正因为这样才如此的流行，但是这真的能够测出一个人的能力和天赋么？

It is vital to make such a fact clear that examinations cannot test what we know, but what we remember. A student with a good memory may find it very effective to cram all the knowledge into mind before examinations. In this sense, it is very unfair for the students who work hard all the time. Since no one performs at his best all the time, examinees are no exceptions. Some unexpected accidents happened to them like a sudden headache will affect the outcome, thus fail the student.

至关重要的是，事实上，考试并不能测试我们所知道的东西，而是我们记得的。一个记忆好的学生很容易在考试前死记硬背下所有的知识点。就这种意义来说，这对学得很辛苦的学生来说是很不公平的。但没人能够从始至终都表现得很好的，考试也不例外。意想不到的事情总会发生，例如突然的头痛会影响结果，然后学生可能就会失利。

I would like to put forward my heart-felt proposal that one day some more scientific and humanized method will replace the old tradition. With efforts from educationists and other related professionals, hopefully, it will not remain a dream only.

我衷心地提议，有一天通过教育者和相关人士的努力，会有更加科学，更加人性化的模式来替代这种旧传统。希望这不会只是一个梦想。

我对考试的看法My View on Examinations

We live in a world full of competition. And the examination is one of the tools to exam whether we meet the standard or not. If we want to enter the key university, we have to get high marks on the College Entrance Exam；if we want to have a good job, we will go through a series of interviews and tests；If we want to drive a car, we have to pass the driving test. Some people complain that there are too many exams in our lives, and these exams cannot truly or fully reflect a person’s ability. Unfortunately, our fate and future are depending on these exams. We cannot avoid them.
我们生活在一个充满竞争的世界。而考试，是检测我们是否符合要求的工具之一。如果我们要进入重点大学，我们就得在高考中获得高分；如果我们想要找份好工作，就得通过一系列的面试和考试；如果我们想开车，就得通过驾照考试。一些人抱怨生活中有太多的考试，而这些考试并不能真正全面的反映一个人的能力。可不幸的是，我们的命运和未来都取决于这些考试。我们不能摆脱考试。
It’s true that the examinations can only test what we remember instead of what we know. A student with a good memory may find it very easy to get high marks before the examinations. All he needs to do is to remember the knowledge from the textbooks. In this situation, it’s quite unfair to evaluate the students only through exams. What’s more, some unexpected accidents may happen to the students such as a high fever or a sudden headache; this will affect the final marks. Since no one can performs stable all the time.
考试能检测到的只是我们所记得的，而不是我们真正了解的知识。一个拥有好记性的学生会发现在考试之前拿高分是件很容易的事情。他所要做的就是把课本上的内容记住。在这种情况下，仅仅通过考试去评估一个学生是不公平的。更何况，一些意想不到的事情可能会发生，例如考生可能会发高烧或者是突然的头痛。这样会影响到考试的结果。毕竟没有人会一直保持稳定状态。
Sometimes, luck plays a vital role in the examinations. The student may guess an answer right although he doesn’t work hard on the course. If the student has a good handwriting, he may get higher marks than others. There are many subjective factors that may affect the outcome of the exams.
有时候，运气也在考试中扮演重要角色。没认真学习的学生也有可能猜对答案。如果考生写得一手好字，那他的分数也有可能会比其他的同学高。很多主观的因素也会影响最终的分数。
In a word, it’s not enough to use exams to evaluate the students. If the schools want to assess the students, they should use different ways. Only in this way, the result may be fair.
一句话：只用考试来检测学生远远不够。如果学校要评估学生，那就应该用不同的方式。只有这样，结果才公正。
