fuckawayDuring economtoxicityic crisis, which one of the following expenditures should be reduced by government: library, police or public transportation?
开头：可以削减图书馆的开支。（话题引入+他人观点+明确立场+过渡句）奖杯英文
Library, police and public transportation are three indispensable gments of a modern city. It is the government’s responsibility to invest in them to make the city function normally. However, during economic crisis, which one of the three expenditures can be cut down? The way I e it, the government should spend less money on the library becau the other two areas are of fundamental significance to the livelihood of citizens. My viewpoint is bad on the following reasons and examples.
中间段1：经济困难时期有可能社会动荡，社会需要警察维持基本秩序。（主题句+说理论证+细节例子）
Firstly, during financial crisis, the police are particularly necessary in preventing major chao
s from occurring. We can learn from history that financial crisis always comes along with riots and turmoil. Confronted with unemployment, bankruptcy and the decline in living standards, people are likely to swarm into the street to protest against the government. IWere there not enough police, the city may slide into a dangerous situation in which the basic social order would be undermined. For example, some evil-minded persons would probably take advantage of this chance to commit crimes such as looting the shops, which really pos a threat to the city.
中间段2：经济危机时期，交通是经济发展的动脉。（主题句+说理论证+细节例子）
Secondly, we cannot emphasize the importance of public transportation too much, especially in economic crisis. It is becau most of economic activities cannot do without good public transportation for it acts just like arteries in the development of society and economy. For example, in order to get over the economic crisis as soon as possible, the government must take measures to revitalize the economy by encouraging people to go around in arch of new business opportunities, or attracting foreign investments. In this ca, a smooth public transportation is a guarantee to make tho activities happen.
让步段：当然听歌，图书馆也很重要，可以在经济危机时期给人充电学习的场所，但是图书馆不是必须的。（承认漏洞+堵漏）
Admittedly, library can also function in helping government to survive the tough period, becau it can provide people with a place to temporarily stay away from chaos and regain the confidence towards life. However, in economic crisis, I believe the public can totally understand the cut in fiscal expenditure on library, since books em not a necessity when bread and butter become people’s major concerns.
结尾：重申观点，归纳理由/升华主题
To put it in a nutshell, among library, police and public transportation, the government’s expenditure on library can be reduced when there is an economic crisis. After all, in economic crisis, what people need the most are social stability and livelihood rather than spiritual fulfillment.

*经济危机时期人们的表现
读题
We can learn from history that financial crisis always comes along with riots and turmoil. Confronted with unemployment, bankruptcy and the decline in living standards, people are likely to swarm into the street to protest against the government.
历史告诉我们，每当经济危机之时，总有社会动乱伴随。面临着失业、破产和生活水准的下降，人们往往选择上街游行抗议政府。
*经济危机时期政府的措施
For example, in order to get over the economic crisis as soon as possible, the government must take measures to revitalize the economy by encouraging people to go around in arch of new business opportunities, or attracting foreign investments.
举个例子，为了快速渡过经济危机，政府必须采取行动去振兴经济，通过诸如鼓励大家寻找新的商业机会或吸引外资的方式。
【参考译文】
在经济危机时期，政府可以减少以下哪一项开支？图书馆、警察和公共交通。
图书馆、警察和公共交通是一个现代城市不可或缺的三个组成部分。政府有责任对其支出一定的费用以确保城市正常运转。但是，在经济危机的时期，哪一项支出可以被削减？依我看，政府可以在图书馆上少花一些钱，因为其他两个部分对民生有着更基础的重要意义。我的观点基于下面的理由和例子。
在经济危机时期，警察在维持社会秩序方面扮演了不可或缺的角色。历史告诉我们，每当经济危机之时，总伴随着社会动乱。面临着失业、破产和生活水准的下降，人们往往选择上街游行抗议政府。如果警力不足，城市很有可能进入混乱的状态，基本的社会秩序将会缺失。一些不法之徒可能会利用这样的机会实施犯罪活动比如抢劫商店等，这会给城市造成真正的威胁。
其次，我们再怎么强调公共交通的重要性也不为过，特别是在经济危机时期。因为大部分的经济活动都要在良好的交通条件下完成，因为好的公共交通就像社会经济发展的大动脉。举个例子，为了快速渡过经济危机，政府必须采取行动去振兴经济，通过诸如鼓励大家寻找新的商业机会或吸引外资的方式。在这种情况下，一个顺畅便捷的公共交通将会是这些活动开展的前提和保障。
诚然，图书馆自然也能在帮助政府撑过艰难时期发挥一定的作用，因为它给人们提供了暂时避开混乱，重拾生活信心的场所。但是，在经济危机时期，我相信公众一定会理解政府缩减对图书馆的财政开支，因为当人们开始担心温饱问题的时候，书籍显得不是那么必须了。
idefrag总而言之，在图书馆、警察和公共交通三者里面，对于图书馆的开支可以削减当出现经济危机的时候。毕竟，在经济危机时刻，人们最需要的还是社会的稳定和生计，而不是精神上的愉悦。
