【參考范文】
As is vividly depicted in the picture, a man is running on the treadmill with sweat streaming, and a piece of hamburger, an ice-cream and a cigarette are chasing him. The man just looks back on the delicious junk food without stopping exercising. Obviously, the man is not tempted by the food behind him and keeps running resolutely.
Simple as it is, what the picture conveys is thought-provoking. Whatever we do, we will encounter various kinds of temptations, such as the delicious junk food in the picture. If we are distracted by them, we won’t realize our goal and go far away from success. Imagine if the man in the picture stops running to have the delicious food, how can his body-building plan be effectively carried out and how can he keep healthy? Therefore, if we want to get what we aim for, we have to withstand what tempts us no matter how attractive the temptations are.
To be short, if we want to succeed, we should bear in mind that a resolute attitude matters much and we should say no to what distracts us.
【參考譯文】
圖片生動描述了一個人在跑步機上流著汗跑步，其身后一個熱狗、一份冰激凌、一支香煙正追著他。這個人只是回頭看了看這些美味的垃圾食品，并沒有停止鍛煉。顯然，這個人并沒有受到身后食物的誘惑而是繼續堅定地跑步。
盡管圖片簡單，但是它傳遞的信息讓人深思。無論我們做什么，我們都會遇到各種各樣的誘惑，正如圖畫中美味的垃圾食品。如果我們因為這些誘惑而分心，那么我們就不會實現目標，就會遠離成功。想象一下如果圖畫中的人停止跑步去吃美味的食品，那他的健身計劃怎能有效執行，他又怎能保持健康呢？所以，如果我們想要實現自己的目標，我們必須經受住誘惑我們的東西，無論誘惑有多么吸引人。
簡而言之，如果我們想要成功，我們必須記住堅決的態度很重要，并且對干擾我們的事物說不。
