專八題目：
On the Importance of Self-discipline
專八范文：
There are many college students who are bad at keeping themselves in line．When they are required to finish some assignments，they will barely bother to do it unless they deem that they may be criticized by theirteachers．Instead，they spend their time playing computer games and watching episodes of TV programs，aswell as chatting with friends on MSN or QQ．They oftentimes procrastinate so terribly that they havedone nothing before they go to bed． Despite the fact that every day they tell themselves that it will be a fresh start，they just succeed in repeating their procrastination．Undoubtedly，these students have not realizedthe importance of self－discipline in their lives．
許多大學生不能夠自覺要求自己。當學生要求完成作業時，除非遭到老師的批評，否則他們都不想去做。反之，他們會花費許多的時間來玩游戲，或是看電視劇，或是在MSN或QQ上與朋友聊天。他們經常會拖延，有時在睡覺之前他們發現自己沒干什么事情。每天他們都告訴自己今天又是全新的一天，但是，他們只是在拖延。毋庸置疑，這些學生沒有意識到自覺的重要性。
Firstly，the world is full of temptations to live an undisciplined life．In today’s society，they livein a world where temptations are almost everywhere．There are a variety of TV programs that tempt them into knowing what have become of the hero and heroine in the last episode． There are various occasions on whichthey find it hard to decline their friends’invitation．Though they make efforts to focus on professors’assignments，they usually surrender themselves to the mercy of entertainment activities and tell themselvesto put the homework later on only to find out that the homework is not finished at last．In consequence，they have no respect for themselves．In fact，they hate themselves for being like this．But whatever they aim for a change， they just fall back into their old ways．This is what their lives will be like if they do not possess self－discipline．
首先，這個多彩的世界誘惑人們過著無序的生活。在當今的社會中，他們生活在充滿誘惑的世界中。許多電視劇都會在最后一集才讓人們知道誰是英雄。在許多場合，我們很難拒絕朋友的邀請。盡管他們努力關注于老師的作業，通常他們還是會屈服于娛樂活動當中，之后告訴自己作業一會兒做，但是總會發現作業到最后還沒有做完。所以，這些學生根本就不尊重自己。事實上，他們痛恨自己。無論他們怎樣下定決心謀求改變，他們總會回到原先的老路上來。如果他們沒有自覺意識的話，這就是他們的生活。
Secondly，as various interviews given by most of the successful people in the world show，self－disciplineis one of the qualities that help people succeed in their chosen fields． People who have the ability toreject instant gratification in favor of something better，to follow actions by overcoming addictions procrastination and laziness，to resist temptations and distractions，are more likely to attain aims and goals．On the contrary，lack of self－discipline leads to failure to reach goals， even minor ones， and to loss，health， obesity and other troubles．
第二，我們看見過許多關于名人的采訪，自覺是這些人在其特定領域成功的關鍵。那些能夠抵抗住一時滿足的人，那些能夠抵抗住誘惑、拖延、懶惰而繼續行動的人，只有那些能夠抵抗住誘惑的人才有可能取得他們的目標。相反，缺乏自覺的人將會導致失敗。這也會導致他們身體不健康，肥胖，還會招惹麻煩。
In sum，self－discipline is one of the essential qualities that contribute effectively to a man’s progress and development． While the world is teeming with temptations and distractions， one can only succeed bylearning self－discipline．
總結，自覺是人們取得成就的最主要的因素之一。世界充滿了誘惑，只有那些自覺的人才能夠取得成功。
