作文：在剛剛結束的英語六級作文考試中有這樣一道題目，要求對愛因斯坦的一句名言“我沒有特殊的'才能，但我有充滿熱情的好奇心”做出評論，並進行舉例說明。可見，這篇作文的主題應圍繞好奇心的重要性展開。本文為大家整理了該題的參考範文，供學習。
參考範文：The above saying from Einstein vividly echoes a piece of quotation: stay hungry; stay foolish, which is put forward by Steven Jobs, the late CEO of Apple Inc. Undoubtedly, both of the two great men attach importance to curiosity. To some extent, we may safely maintain that without curiosity, without success.
In the first place, curiosity is the premise of innovation, which can be seen as the key to success. Besides Einstein, a case in point is Steven Jobs, who always keeps curious, devoted to innovation. So, there is no exaggeration to say that the success of Apple Inc doesn’t suppress us at all. In the second place, the quality of being curious provides us with the drive to go forward. To put it another way, where there is curiosity, there is advancement. For example, if a scientist desires to make progress in his research community, he must hold a curious heart; otherwise, his research will eventually go into a corner.
In conclusion, it is not too much to say that curiosity plays an indispensable role both in personal and corporate success. So, it is wise for us to bear in mind great men’s sayings concerning curiosity and practice them as much as possible.

翻譯：2011年是中國城市化(urbanization)程序中的歷史性時刻，其城市人口首次超過農村人口。在未來20年裡，預計約有3.5億農村人口將移居到城市。如此規模的城市發展對城市交通來說既是挑戰，也是機遇。中國政府一直提倡“以人為本”的發展理念，強調人們以公交而不是私家車出行。它還號召建設“資源節約和環境友好型”社會。有了這個明確的目標，中國城市就可以更好地規劃其發展，並把大量投資轉向安全、清潔和經濟型交通系統的發展上。
參考譯文：The 2011 is a historic moment in Chinese urbanization process, when the urban population surpassed the rural population for the first time. During the next 20 years, it is estimated that about 350 million rural population will move to cities. Such large-scale of urbanization is both a challenge and an opportunity to the urban traffic. The Chinese government has always been advocating “people-oriented” developing concept, emphasizing that people should travel by buses instead of by private cars. It also calls for the construction of “resource saving and environment friendly” society. With this explicit goal, China can have a better-planned urbanization process, and therefore divert more investment to the development of safe, clean and economical transportation system.
