专八题目：
Is the Donors’ List Acceptable?
专八范文：
Living in a world of change, we can not predict what will happen in the future. We probably will be reduced to helplessness by unexpected accidents and natural disasters. It will be greatly appreciated that many unknown people will offer helping hands. As usual, donors’ names and donations are made public in bulletin board or in other forms by donation proposal initiators. It is believed that the juxtaposition of donors’names and their donation will make compliments to donors and encourage more people to offer a helping hand. For me, I think it is enough to tell the public what donation has been collected by initiators but donors’ names and their donation should not be made public.
生活在是新月异的世界中，我们无法预知未来。我们有时会感到很无助，这可能会是因为一些不期而遇的事件，或是自然灾害。但是，让我们感到高兴的是，许多没有留下姓名的人向我们伸出了援助之手。通常，捐献者的名字都会公开展示，或者是通过捐献发起人以其他形式进行公布。人们相信公布捐献者的名字是对捐献者的一种回报，这将鼓励人们帮助其他人。对于我来说，除了名字以外，重要的是，人们知道发起人已经进行了捐赠。他们的捐献行为不应该公布于众。
Firstly, while people consider offering a helping hand, they do not intentionally expect being rewarded. When the donors’ list is made public, the public will not only be impressed by the benevolence of the donors, they will also believe that those donors are expecting compliments from both the public and donation receivers. In the case that there are donors who donate much more money than average, it is likely that thepublic will accuse those generous donors of showing off, instead of complimenting their benevolence and generosity. While people do not expect reward for their benevolence, they do not expect accusation, either. Besides, benevolence can not be measured by the amount of donations. The publication of donors’ list may direct people to think otherwise. Those who donate more money would be regarded more benevolent than thosewho donate less. Anyway, it is unfair to accuse those who donate due amount in accord with their purse.
首先，当人们想要伸出援助之手时，他们没有刻意希望得到别人的回报。如果捐献者的名单公布于众，公众不仅仅会感动捐献者的仁慈，他们还会相信这些捐献者希望得到公众和受捐者的感谢。这样一来，许多捐献者会捐出比以往更多的金钱，公众很有可能会认为他们在作秀，而不会感谢他们的仁慈和慷慨。如果人们不期望回报的话，他们也不会受到指责。其次，仁慈之心也不能够用捐献的多少来衡量。捐献者名单的公布很有可能会让人们另有所想。人们会认为那些捐献金额大的人更有慈爱之心。无论如何，以金额多少来横衡量是不公平的。
Secondly, the publication of donors’ list may pose potential dangers to donors. Generally speaking, people will donate what is reasonable in line with their financial situations. Those who rank high in big companies or run their own business usually are expected to donate more money. However, for many Chinese people, making a name is not a good thing. That is why business people always keep silent when asked how much money they have earned. One reason for their being afraid of making a name is that malicious people will become jealous. In some extreme cases, criminals may calculate the amount of affordable ransom based on the donation if they kidnap these wealthy donors.
第二，公布捐献者的名单会对捐献者将构成危险。通体来讲，捐献者会根据他们的经济状况进行捐赠。那些职位高。或者是自主创业的人通常会捐赠更多的金额。但是，对于大多数中国人来说，出名不是一件让人高兴的事。这就是为什么许多商人总是在挣钱多少上给与沉默。其中的一个原因就是，他们害怕居心不轨的人会产生嫉妒之心。还有一些极端情况，犯人会考虑索要赎金的数量，他们根据的就是捐献者捐献的多少。
Finally, what concerns donors most is whether their donations can be timely forwarded to those in need. Given aforementioned negative impact of donors’ list, it is not necessary to make a donors’ list.
最后，对于捐献者最重要的是，他们的捐献是否可以适时地帮助那些需要帮助的人。根据上述所属的一些危害，我认为，公布捐献者名单是没必要的。
