量体裁衣

范文1：

This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on one's desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.

The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a reason.

In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric. A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.

译文：

这幅画很可笑，但引人注目。一位身体庞大的顾客在裁缝仔细地为他量尺寸准备做衣服时，手里却拿着一块小得令人绝望的衣料。这幅画告诉我们，一个人在执行任务的过程中必须考虑到实际情况，仅从主观意愿出发而不顾眼前的事实，是不可能成功的。

当前大学生的就业率使我们意识到进行合理思考的重要性，每年有大约300万大学生从学校毕业，寻找工作，他们中的很多人并没有找到一份适合自己的工作，有一个原因是没有足够的就业机会提供给数量如此庞大的毕业生。但除此而外，过高的自我估计也是可能的原因之一。

为了能够实现未来目标，一个人必须做出合理的决定，并做好相应的准备。比如一个志在成为外科医生的学生，就必须确保自己有临床实习的机会和足够的知识，换句话说，顾客在购买衣料前必须先量好准确的尺寸，一个大块头是无法穿上一小块布料的。
