第一篇
It goes without saying that this picture aims at revealing a current problem: what kind of attitude we will choose when facing difficulties and challenges. In this drawing, a football-player is prepared to kick a ball towards the net, where a goal-keeper keeps guard. However, in the player’s mind appears a scene in which the keeper becomes a giant covering the net completely, while the latter imagines that he turns out to be a dwarf standing below the huge net. Obviously, both of them lack courage and confidence in front of challenges.
These two players represent those who often choose to magnify their enemies and dangers, and lose their confidence to fight against them. As a result, what they can achieve in the end is nothing but failure. This sad situation can be best illustrated in the fact that some people lose their chance of success in the entrance examination for the MA program. When preparing for the exam, they often feel depressed thinking that they are never well-prepared. In fact, they will soon realize that it is not as difficult as they thought before. In a word, they suffer from underestimating their abilities.
In our life, what we need most is self-insurance and a proper view of challenges before us. Therefore, we should bear in mind that our competitors may not be as terrible as expected, and our painstaking efforts will pay off as long as we arm ourselves with courage and confidence. Only in this way can we overcome any difficulties and challenges.

　　The drawing depicts a football player about to take a close shot on　the goal. Thought bubbles are shown for both the player taking the shot and the goalkeeper. While the player taking the shot pictures a huge goalkeeper who nearly fills up the entire goal, the goalkeeper　pictures himself as being much smaller than he actually is.
　　The drawing intends to show us that we often underestimate ourselves　and overestimate others. In the goalkeeper's mind, he has the impossible task of defending a huge goal, while the player taking the shot imagines a gigantic goalkeeper who could stop nearly any shot.In fact, neither of the players has an accurate view of the challenge　they are facing. The drawing reminds us that it is important to have　a clear picture of the challenges we face in life.
Examples of this phenomenon can be found in many other situations.　For instance, the mountain climber may see the mountain as taller Than it really is, or the student might see his or her relatively simple class project as an insurmountable task.

It is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon that a striker is preparing to shoot at the goal defended by a goalkeeper on a football field. In the goalkeeper’s mind, he is so much smaller than he actually is that guarding the goal becomes a mission impossible. On the contrary, the giant guard seems to fill up the whole goal in the attacking player’s mind.

The purpose of the drawing is to show us that in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges or predicament, possessing self-confidence is of utmost significance. Regardless of how much success one has had in school or at work, there are bound to be times when he or she will encounter difficulties and problems. It is at these critical times that his self-confidence, towards difficulty and life in general, eventually plays a crucial role in determining whether he can turn failure into victory.

I can think of no better illustration than the following one. Helen Keller was born deaf, dumb and blind, certainly nothing to give her self-confidence. Nevertheless, she went on to conquer her multiple handicaps to finally become a writer and lecturer, to become an inspiration to all. This case effectively clarifies that no matter what tasks we are confronted with, we should never overestimate the difficulties or underestimate our abilities.

参考译文

这幅漫画生动描述了足球场上的一名前锋正准备将球射入守门员把守的球门。在守门员看来，自己比起实际的身材渺小很多，以至于守门变成一个不可能完成的任务。反之，在那名前锋眼里，这位巨人守门员似乎占据了整个球门。

这幅漫画的目的是告诉我们在看似不可克服的挑战与困境面前，最重要的是拥有自信。无论一个人在学校或工作中曾经如何成功，终有一天他会遭遇困难和问题。关键时刻，正是他对困难和人生的自信最终决定他能否反败为胜。

没有什么例子比下面的例子更有说服力。海伦"凯勒天生聋哑失明，当然没什么让她自信。但她不断克服多种障碍，最终成为一名作家和教师，成为世人的楷模。这个例子清楚证明了无论面临何种任务，我们决不能高估困难或低估自己的能力。
