雅思论说文写作经典范文【双语对照】：人生的烦恼

What do you consider to be the most important room in a house? Why is this room more important to you than any other room? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

不同的人对于家里哪个房间最重要的说法肯定会有所不同：卧室、客厅、厨房可能是多数人的选择。但我有些不一般，因为我认为最重要的房间是卫生间。

Different people are sure to have different views on which is the most important room in their houses. The bedroom, the sitting room, the kitchen may be their first choice, but I am unusual, for I hold that the most important room in my apartment is the bathroom.

首先，不管卫生间的名字听起来意味着什么，但不可否认的是我们谁也离不开它。只要在家里，从晚上到早晨、从早晨到晚上，我们总要多次光顾它。而且，我们梳妆打扮、洗澡或不时的洗手与洗脸、在镜子里的自我欣赏差不多都是在卫生间里完成的。所以，卫生间对于我们来讲确实是太重要了。

First of all, no matter what the name of washroom itself may suggest to us, one thing that we can not deny is: none of us can do without it. As long as we are at home, we will always have to visit it now and then, from sunrise to sunset. Moreover, most of the making up, dressing up, shower or bath taking, occasional hand or face washing as well as self-appreciating in the mirror is done in the washroom. Therefore, the washroom is indeed important to us.

其次，卫生间是展示主人品味的窗口。每每有客人来访，卫生间必然会成为一个必去之地。里面的装修装饰怎么样、布置安排怎么样、温馨与否、便利与否都会涉及到主人的脸面，都会给客人留下某种印象，因为这一切都反映了主人的品位。

Second, the washroom is a window displaying the taste of the host or hostess. Whenever there are home visitors, the washroom is sure to be a must. How it is decorated, what the arrangement is like, whether it is cozy and convenient will always leave some kind of impression on the guests and accordingly, involve the host’s face need because they all reflect the host’s taste for everything.

当然，这并非说其它房间就不重要了。我们总要睡觉、休闲和吃饭，所以，卧室、客厅、厨房也非常重要。但是，论及以家里可对外开放的私密空间，卫生间恐怕是首当其冲的，所以，从这个意义上讲，卫生间的状况如何似乎更为关键些。

Of course, this is not to say that other rooms in the house are not important. We all need to sleep, enjoy some leisure moments and have meals, so the bedroom, the sitting room and the kitchen are also very important. However, when speaking of the more private rooms that we’d like to open to others, the washroom will, I’m afraid, rank the first. Hence, in this sense, the condition of the washroom seems to be more critical.

总之，考虑到卫生间在各方面的重要性，它成为对我而言家里最重要的房间。

All in all, with the importance of all aspects of the washroom taken into account, it becomes, at least to me, the most important room at my home.
