　　范文：

　　Traditional wisdom has it that slow and careful work yields perfect results. But nowadays many companies force workers to finish their tasks as fast as they can, even by lengthening the working hours. As is shown in the picture, workers in a construction site have to keep on working until midnight.

　　Such a practice is very harmful. First, it cannot ensure the quality of the project. Overworking makes workers feel exhausted, some of whom might be absent-minded and fail to fulfill their tasks with adequate energy. Second, workers are not provided with satisfying working conditions. In the picture we find no lights or other facilities for lighting, and the workers work by the moonlight and thus are very likely to have accident. Thirdly, it goes against China’s Labor Code which prohibits employers from forcing workers to work more than eight hours per day without overtime pay.

　　Therefore, we have every reason to take immediate measures against this negative practice. The government should strictly enforce the Labor Code, as well as take workers’ rights into serious consideration. Working conditions should also be improved so as to prevent workers’ getting physical injuries or harm. Only by these means can we avoid producing poor-quality products and maintain worker health.

　　譯文：

　　老人們經(jīng)常說，慢工出細(xì)活。但是現(xiàn)在很多公司都迫使工人盡快完成他們的任務(wù)，即使是通過延長工作時間來完成。就像這幅圖中所顯示的那樣，一個建筑工地的工人們不得不工作到深夜。

　　這種做法是非常有害的。首先，這不能保證工程的質(zhì)量。過度的工作量使工人們精疲力竭，他們可能變得工作時心不在焉、無法用足夠的精力來完成任務(wù)。第二，工人們也沒有得到令人滿意的工作環(huán)境。在圖中還沒任何燈光和其他照明設(shè)施，工人們就著月光工作，因此很容易發(fā)生危險。第三，這種做法也違反了中國的《勞動法》，該法律禁止雇主迫使工人工作超過八小時而不支付加班費(fèi)。

　　因此，我們有足夠的理由盡快采取措施來治理這種不好的做法。一方面，政府應(yīng)該嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行《勞動法》，并認(rèn)真考慮工人們的權(quán)利。另一方面，應(yīng)該通過改進(jìn)工作環(huán)境防止對工人們造成身體上的傷害。只有通過這些方式，我們才能防止造成低質(zhì)量的工程，并保持工人們的健康。
