第一段指出是否推迟退休年龄（
postpone
retirement
age)
这一问题
引起了人们激烈的讨论（
heated debate)
。



应
该
推
迟
退
休
年
龄
吗

Should
Retirement
Age
Be Postpone







~

第二段分析了人们对这一问题的不同观点：
有人认为推迟退休年龄
有助于缓 解老龄化社会带来的劳动力短缺问题
(a
drop
in
the
labor
force supply)
，
而也有人认为推迟退休年龄会增加就业压力
(pressure
of social employment)
，减少老年人享受养老金
(retirement pension)
的几率。

第三段阐述自己的观点，在制定制度的时候要多方面考虑（
take...
into consideration)
，
既要考虑到改革的水平
（
the level of the reform)
，
也要照顾到老年人的权益（
the elders
’
interest)
。


Should Retirement Age Be Postponed

Along with the trend of longevity, nobody could have failed to notice a heated debate on whether it is wise
to postpone retirement age.

Some people argue that it
’
s necessary to postpone the retirement age in that it is a good way to deal with
the aging population. One of the direct results of the aging society is a drop in the labor force supply, which can
be
relieved
by
postponing
the
retirement
age.
However,
other
people
hold
a
negative
view
about
this
phenomenon.
For
one
thing,
this
reform
could
raise
the
pressure
of
social
employment,
especially
for
the
present severe situation. For another, it may diminish the senior
’
s leisure time and the probabilities to enjoy
their retirement pension.

For my part, we should take the level of the reform and the elders' interest into consideration so that a
clearer perspective of the debate can be gained.

【点评】

①开门见山，使用双重否定句，指出推迟退休年龄在社会上引起广泛的争议。

②从正方分析了推迟退休年龄的好处。

③非限制性定语从句，指出推迟退休年龄可以缓解老龄化社会带来的劳动力不足的问题。

【

④使用
However
引出另一方的观点。

For one thing... For another
…
提出推迟退休年龄的两个弊端。

⑥引出作者本人的观点，并针对争议提出建议。
