　　范文解析

　　开头段

　　交代背景“有观点认为人一生中最重要的事情就是他或她的职业生涯。如果没有令人满意的工作，生活就会变得毫无意义”，表示“对此观点不赞同”。

　　背景句：An increasing portion of the population has been joining the workforce, and many people assert that the most significant thing in one's life is his or her career. Without a satisfying job, life is deemed meaningless.

　　个人观点：However, I strongly oppose this opinion and firmly believe that life could still be full of meanings even without a satisfying career.

　　主体段 1

　　事业并不是人们生活中最重要的。即使没有令人满意的工作，生活仍然可以充满意义。

　　主题句：I disagree with such a statement and believe that life could still be full of significance even without a satisfying job.

　　平行列举+递进解释：Being successful in career does not guarantee people’s ability to find the true meaning or purpose of their life, nor does financial abundancy always ensure mental satisfaction. Many professionals with remarkable achievements in work can still feel lost when it comes to searching for the meaningfulness of their personal life.

　　主体段 2

　　工作本身并不是判断一个人的生命是否有意义的唯一标准。 除了职业之外，还有很多其他因素也决定了一个人生活的意义和目的，例如家庭生活，身体健康，心理健康和社会关系。

　　主题句：Secondly, job itself is never the sole criterion to judge if one’s life is meaningful or not.

　　平行列举+递进解释：Apart from career, a huge number of other factors also determine the meaningfulness and purpose of one's life, such as family life, physical health, mental well-being, and social relationship. If a person sacrifices his attention or devotion to all those factors only for the sake of his job, then, no matter how successful his career could be, the meaningfulness of his life is already impaired.

　　结尾段

　　总结理由+重申观点：有些人可能会认为职业应该优先考虑，因为它带来了经济回报，但职业的重要性不应该破坏家庭，关系，爱好和许多其他因素的重要性。

　　Some people might argue that career should be prioritized since it brings forth financial reward which is fundamental and indispensable for one to make other achievements. Despite that, the importance of career shouldn't undermine the significance of family, relationship, hobbies and many other factors, because they realize the completeness and uniqueness of a human's lifetime.
