Reserving a Seat
We often see there is a table-cloth, a book or something else on the desk in the classroom or library, [1]indicating the seat is taken. This kind of phenomenon is very usual in almost all colleges and universities. [2]Strangely enough, most of students seem to [3]take this for granted, and few will protest it.
[4]Though most of students’ taking seats in advance is for the purpose of better study, this kind of phenomenon has great negative effects. [5]On the one hand, it is a selfish behavior, which damages other students’ interests. [6]Even if many students come to the classroom very early, they can not find a seat. [5]On the other hand, reserving a seat [7]violates the rule of fairness. [8]No matter how late you come to class, the seat is still reserved for you [6]even though many others are eager for that seat.
[9]Considering the above-mentioned, I think, [10]it is high time that we college students took a good look of our behavior. [5]Indeed, only if all of us can improve our consciousness, it is not a difficult task for us to get rid of this kind of phenomenon “reserving a seat”.
【亮点点评】
[1]“表示”，现在分词短语作伴随状语。
[2]“非常奇怪的是”，副词使用恰当。
[3]“认为…理所当然”。
[4]though引导让步状语从句，引出对不良影响的阐述。
[5]过渡衔接词语，使文章条理清晰、衔接紧密。
[6]even if/ even though引导让步状语从句。
[7]“违背了公平原则”。
[8]“no matter +疑问词”表示“无论，不管”，引导让步状语从句。
[9]用于得出结论。considering用作介词，意为“考虑到，鉴于”。
[10]用于引出解决办法，表示解决问题的紧迫性,常译为“早该是…的时候了”。
