Is Thrift Still a Good Virtue? 　　With the improvement of the living standards, many people are [1]no longer interested in the simple life style [2]and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty. What they pursue is the latest fashion. In their eyes, thrift is already out of style. 　　[3]However, still other people insist that thrift is a good virtue. They say that the unprecedented power of production doesn’t mean that we are entitled to a life of extravagance, because our natural resources are limited [2]and some of them even are [4]on the decline. [5]Moreover, they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well. [6]As to me, I prefer the latter opinion. I believe [7] “Waste not, want not.” The truth of this saying is [8]not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency. [5]In fact, economic growth depends enormously on saving. [5]Besides, there are still millions of Chinese [9]living under poverty line. We can never afford reckless waste. [5]Therefore, [10]it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up. [1]“不再”。 [2]表示递进。 [3] 引出另外一种观点。 [4]“在下降”。 [5]过渡衔接词语，使文章条理清晰、衔接紧密。 [6]用于引出自己的 观点或选择。 [7] 引用谚语“俭以防匮”。 [8]not... but 连接并列结构，意 为“不是…而是”。 [9]现在分词短语作后置定语。 [10]“毫无疑问”。 　　关于勤俭节约的英语作文-佳句临摹 　　 1.佳句：Our natural resources are limited and some of them even are on the decline. 　　临摹：车祸使人们的财产遭受极大的损失，甚至还夺走了无数 人的生命。 　　2.佳句：The truth of this saying is not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency. 临摹：我们永 都不应该低估自己的能力，而应该相信一句谚语： “有志者，事竟成。“ If I Rest, I Rust The significant inscription found on an old key“If I rest, I rust”would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness.
