政治Essay写作：Pros and Cons of the Quebec Separation Issue

本文是教育专业的Essay范例，题目是“Pros and Cons of the Quebec Separation Issue（魁北克分离问题的利与弊）”，魁北克的分离在加拿大是一个非常有争议的问题，但为什么呢?有些人，比如那些住在魁北克的人认为魁北克应该从加拿大分离出去。他们相信他们的省如果独立会更好。另外一些人，主要是来自加拿大其他地区的人，但也有一些来自魁北克的人认为应该保留魁北克，因为魁北克是加拿大的一个重要部分，没有它就不一样了。如果魁北克保留下来，加拿大就会保留地图上的大片土地，以及与之相伴的历史，以及居住在那里的数百万人，但如果魁北克分离，加拿大将摆脱一大笔债务(这些债务将归魁北克所有)。这引起了赞成和反对魁北克从加拿大分离的两种非常重要的争论。

The separation of Quebec is a very controversial issue in Canada, but why? Some people, such as those who live in Quebec believe Quebec should separate from Canada. They believe that their province would be better off on its own as its own country. Others, mainly those from other parts of the country, but still some from Quebec believe that Quebec should stay, that Quebec is a big part of Canada and would not be the same without it. If Quebec stays, Canada maintains its large piece of land on the map, the history that goes along with it, and the millions of people living there, but if Quebec separates, Canada would get rid of a large chunk of its debt (which would go to Quebec). This raises two very important arguments between for and those against the separation of Quebec from Canada.

There are several benefits of Quebec separating from Canada. If Quebec were to separate, there would be no more disputes over the French and English languages that are spoken in Canada. Canada could have its bilingualism, and Quebec could become its own strictly French nation with no English spoken anywhere. Canada is a bilingual country; French is even mandatory in English schools up to and including grade 9. It isn’t right if Quebec is only going to offer a French education to its children. Quebec is already separate in a way from Canada. They have their own civil laws, and their street signs only read in French. In 1980 there was a referendum to separate Quebec from Canada. This referendum was defeated when 41.5% of the people voted “yes” and 56.5% voted “no.” But the Quebecers were still fed up. Many people still did not want to be part of Canada, so they decided to try again. This time, it seemby a 50.58 % to 49.42 % margin, the closest in the history of Canada.ed to have more support than ever before, even from people that didn’t live in Quebec (although people who didn’t live in Quebec weren’t involved in the vote.) It took place in 1995, and the motion to pursue independence was again narrowly defeated

魁北克从加拿大分离有几个好处。如果魁北克分离，就不会再有关于加拿大使用的法语和英语的争议了。加拿大可以有它的双语，魁北克可以成为它自己的严格的法语国家，没有任何地方说英语。加拿大是一个双语国家;法语甚至是英国学校9年级及以下的必修课。如果魁北克只给孩子提供法国教育，这是不对的。魁北克已经在某种程度上脱离了加拿大。他们有自己的民法，他们的路牌只看法语。1980年举行了将魁北克从加拿大分离出去的公民投票。41.5%的人投赞成票，56.5%的人投反对票，公投失败。但魁北克人还是受够了。许多人仍然不想成为加拿大的一部分，所以他们决定再试一次。这一次，差距似乎是50.58%对49.42%，是加拿大历史上最接近的。她希望得到比以往任何时候都多的支持，甚至是来自非魁北克人的支持(尽管非魁北克人没有参与投票)。它发生在1995年，寻求独立的动议再次以微弱优势被否决

Whenever there are pros to an issue, the cons are never far behind. There is a big downside to Quebec separating from Canada. Canada is a bilingual country, the world’s first in fact and despite the fact that Quebec likes to be called “strictly French”, it is still a huge part of its bilingualism. Almost every person who lives in Quebec knows some form of French, and anyone who doesn’t is probably in the process of learning it. People who are visiting from French-speaking countries may be attracted to the Quebec area because of its French-speaking nature. This is good for the tourism industry and can bring in some extra bucks to help pay off Canada’s debt.

每当一个问题有优点时，缺点就会接踵而至。魁北克从加拿大分离出去有一个很大的缺点。加拿大是一个双语国家，实际上是世界上第一个，尽管魁北克喜欢被称为“严格意义上的法语”，但它仍然是双语国家的很大一部分。几乎每个生活在魁北克的人都会一些形式的法语，那些不会法语的人可能正在学习法语。来自法语国家的游客可能会被魁北克地区所吸引，因为它讲法语。这对旅游业有好处，可以带来一些额外的钱来帮助偿还加拿大的债务。

Canada is also country that has a population of 30 million plus, that number growing each day. We are also the second largest country in the world as far as actual land goes. If Quebec were to separate from Canada, we would lose all of this. Out population would shrink by 7.4 million people, and the size of our country would fall down almost 16 percent. And just think if you took Quebec off of the map. There would be a massive whole in Canada. Would it still be possible for Canada to survive? Would the east and the west be able to survive or would they be forced to join the United States?

加拿大也是一个人口超过3000万的国家，这个数字每天都在增长。就实际土地面积而言，我们也是世界上第二大国家。如果魁北克从加拿大分离出去，我们将失去这一切。我们的人口将减少740万人，国土面积将减少近16%。想想看，如果你把魁北克从地图上划掉。在加拿大会有一个巨大的整体。加拿大还有可能生存下去吗?东方和西方能够生存下去吗?或者他们会被迫加入美国吗?

Quebec has flourished in Canada and proven it doesn’t have to leave to achieve its needs.  It made French its official language by passing Law 101. Despite the rising increase in English-speaking, it has raised the number of Francophones in the province to the highest level ever. We sometimes fail to realize that Francophones have jumped on top of the Quebec economy to produced some of Canada’s and the world’s leading technologies, companies and financial institutions like Bombardier (snowmobiles, all terrain vehicles, military aircraft, trains), Hydro Quebec, and le Cirque du Soleil. If Quebec ever separated, it would no longer be a part of NAFTA and would be forced to pay heavy duties on imports and exports of their goods. This would then cause them to raise the price of their merchandise which would eventually stop selling because of the availability of cheaper goods elsewhere.

魁北克在加拿大蓬勃发展，证明了它不必为了实现自己的需求而离开。它通过了第101号法律，将法语定为官方语言。尽管讲英语的人数在不断增加，但该省讲法语的人数已达到有史以来的最高水平。我们有时没有意识到，讲法语的人已经跃居魁北克经济的顶层，生产了加拿大和世界领先的技术、公司和金融机构，如庞巴迪(snow摩托、全地形车辆、军用飞机、火车)、Hydro Quebec和le Cirque du Soleil。如果魁北克一旦分离，它将不再是北美自由贸易协定的一部分，并将被迫为其货物的进出口支付沉重的关税。这将导致他们提高商品的价格，最终停止销售，因为其他地方有更便宜的商品。

Does all of this mean something? Why does Quebec keep trying to separate? Obviously they don’t want to be a part of Canada, so they should become a country of their own. Now some may say that the reason these referendums have not gone through is because people are scared of becoming independent. They are scared of the thought of their province, Quebec, not being a part of Canada. Does this make sense? Not at all. If you want to separate from something, then do it. If you want to stay with that something, then stay with it. But don’t try and do both, that will get you nowhere and the fights will continue to plague the whole country. The real reason for this is that the people who vote for Quebec to stay a part of Canada are mostly middle aged people while the people that want Quebec to separate from Canada are the younger people and the older people. According to the website crave.com, “Eventually, the young will be a majority and the “yes” vote side will win.” It will end with them leaving, but not before more and more conflicts between the two sides, so they might as well go now.

这一切有什么意义吗?为什么魁北克一直试图分离?很明显，他们不想成为加拿大的一部分，所以他们应该成为自己的国家。现在有些人可能会说，这些公投之所以没有通过，是因为人们害怕独立。他们害怕他们的省魁北克不属于加拿大。这有意义吗?不客气。如果你想要分离，那就去做吧。如果你想坚持下去，那就坚持下去。但不要试图同时做这两件事，那样你会一事无成，斗争将继续困扰整个国家。真正的原因是，投票支持魁北克继续作为加拿大一部分的人多为中年人，而希望魁北克从加拿大分离出去的人则是年轻人和老年人。根据crave.com网站的说法，“最终，年轻人将占多数，投赞成票的一方将获胜。”他们会离开，但不会在双方冲突越来越多之前结束，所以他们最好现在就走。

Another reason why Quebec should separate is that Canada has a large debt of over 150 billion dollars. This debt has been accumulating over the years, but Canada is slowly starting to come out of it. 25% of this debt would be the sole responsibility of Quebec if they were to separate which would make Canada at least 35 billion dollars further out of that debt. Although we will have lost a bit of our economy through the separation, this money would surely make up it for that loss. This would give Quebecers a nice discrepancy in their bank account to start off their country and eventually, they would have to start borrowing money from Canada. Over the years Quebec would start to pay the money back, with interest, and Canada’s debt would be almost cut in half.

魁北克应该分离的另一个原因是加拿大有超过1500亿美元的巨额债务。这些债务多年来一直在积累，但加拿大正慢慢开始摆脱它。25%的债务将是魁北克的唯一责任，如果他们分开，这将使加拿大至少350亿美元的债务。虽然我们会因为分离而损失一些经济，但这笔钱肯定会弥补这一损失。这样一来，魁北克人的银行账户就有了很大的差异，开始建立自己的国家，最终，他们不得不开始从加拿大借钱。几年后，魁北克将开始偿还这笔钱，包括利息，加拿大的债务将减少近一半。

The separation of Quebec from Canada is a very controversial issue. Should it happen or shouldn’t it? Those for would like to see it happen so Canada can get rid of the French language all together, and to stop all the fighting and arguing that is constantly going on between both sides. They would also like them to separate for the sake of money that they would be paying to Canada. Others do not want Quebec to separate from Canada because they believe that it is a very important part of the Country. It connects the west to the east, the east to the west. Without it, there would be a very big hole right in the middle of the country and the rest of Canada would probably be forced to join the United States. I myself would not like to see Quebec separate from Canada for a few reasons. If they did separate, Nova Scotia would most likely join the U.S. Now although I do like to visit the country, I would never want to be a part of it. Another reason is that I enjoy shopping in Quebec and driving through Quebec. It’s a fun place to be and the shopping never ends. Canada is just not the same without Quebec. As long as these two sides continue to fight and argue, the separation of Quebec will remain a very controversial issue in Canada.

魁北克从加拿大分离出去是一个很有争议的问题。它是否应该发生?支持法语的人希望看到它发生，这样加拿大就可以完全废除法语，停止双方之间不断发生的战斗和争论。他们也希望他们分开，因为他们将支付给加拿大的钱。其他人不希望魁北克从加拿大分离出去，因为他们认为它是国家的一个非常重要的部分。它连接着西部和东部，东部和西部。如果没有它，就会在这个国家的中部出现一个非常大的洞，加拿大的其他地区可能会被迫加入美国。我自己不希望看到魁北克从加拿大分离出来，有几个原因。如果他们真的分开了，新斯科舍省很可能会加入美国。虽然我确实喜欢去这个国家，但我永远都不想成为它的一部分。另一个原因是我喜欢在魁北克购物和开车穿越魁北克。这是一个有趣的地方，购物永远不会结束。没有了魁北克，加拿大就不一样了。只要双方继续斗争和争论，魁北克的分离在加拿大将是一个非常有争议的问题。
