分析
本题是一个关于博物馆新题。在以往的雅思作文,关于博物馆的话题多集在
1怎样鼓励本地人去博物馆?
2在网络时代下博物馆是否还有必要;
3博物馆是否应该收门票?
本次的问题则转换了角度博物馆应该从哪里获得资助,政府还是个人?
按照以往雅思作文的提问方式,本作文可以这样问有人认为资助博物馆的最好方式是政府投资,其他人则认为个人捐款才是最好的方式,请给出你的观点。如果这样提问,可能大家就不会那么困惑了。其实,不管题目怎样问,在审题的时候,都要先努力搞清楚题目到底要求大家讨论什么。比如,本题要求在所有可能的方式,找到最好的资助方式政府企业还是个人,那其实很显然,题目要求你去比较这三种方式,然后提出最好的办法。
个人认为政府投资永远是获得资助的最佳方式,但是企业和个人的捐助却也可以解决政府投资不足的难题,但往往会因为一些个人的需要而损害博物馆的形象。
例文

在过去几年的经济衰退和缓慢的经济复苏,许多博物馆都面临着财政问题。由于维持博物馆的费用越越高,为使其向公众开放,必须要筹集足够的资金,不管是自政府源还是私人企业或个人捐款。

Investment from the governments musf form a bigger proportion of the income of many museums at different levels. As a major way to fund museums, the public sector should always do more, and there may be no substitue for the government support for museums, especially in the longlasting financial crissi when that government support is more urgently needed. Although, in the face of such adversity, museums have shown great resilience and creativity in generating new sources of revenue, those troubled institutions can only be be sustained with stronger government backing. Considering that museums preserve a countrys collective memory for future generations, the importacne of public funding in museums could never be overestimated.
自政府的投资必须在各级博物馆的收入占更大的比例。作为资助博物馆的一种主要方式,公部门应该总是做得更多,政府对博物馆的支持也许是无可替代的,尤其是在长期的金融危机,更迫切需要政府的财政支持。尽管面对这样的困境,博物馆在获得新的收入源方面表现出极大的弹性和创造力,但对于那些陷入困境的机构只有在政府的支持下才能维持下去。考虑到博物馆为子孙后代保存一个家的集体记忆,博物馆公资金的重要性再怎么估计也不为过。

5 Adversity 不利的环境;对手
6 Resilience 弹性
7 Generate 生
8 Sustain 持续;维持
9 Overestimate 过高估计
Private donations also occuy an important part in keeping a museum, especially when government funding is limited. This way of funding can be done by providing money for new programs and spaces, as well as giving works of art as gifts to the museums collections. The museums may in turn tailor themselves to the needs of the donors by affording certain privileges to them, including the right to use the museums space to hold some spcial events such as promotion campaigns. This has given rise to complaints and worries in the general public that receving donations may leave the musums ruined.
私人捐款在博物馆的保存也占有重要的地位,特别是在政府资金有限的情况下。这种资助方式可以通过为新的项目和空间提供资金,或把艺术品赠送给博物馆收藏实现。反过,博物馆也可以根据捐款者的需要进行调整,给予他们一定的特权,包括使用博物馆举办一些特别活动,如宣传活动。这已引起普通市民的投诉和忧虑,担心接受个人捐赠可能毁掉博物馆。
1 本段主要论述私人捐款的作用及其问题好处是补充政府投资,坏处是可能损坏博物馆。
2 Occupy 占据
3 In turn 反过
4 Tailor oneself to the needs of. 调整自己以适应.的需求
5 Afford 给与
6 Give rise to. 引起
In my view, among all the funding possibilities, government funding should always remain the best way of operating a museum, because it can ensure the maximum independence of the museum as an institution to educate the public. Donations from the private sector are necessary only when the museum cannot obtain sufficient support fro the government and are acceptable only on the condition that they do not interfere with the public roles of the museum.
在我看,在所有的资助可能性,政府的资助应该始终是博物馆运作的最佳方式,因为它可以最大限度地确保博物馆作为一个教育公众机构的独立性。只有当博物馆不能获得足够的政府支持时,私人领域的捐赠才是必要的,而且只有在不妨碍博物馆的公众功能的条件下才能接受。
1 本段给出自己的观点政府资助是最佳办法,同时提出接受私人捐赠的两个前提政府资助不够,私人不妨碍博物馆的正常功能。
2 Operate 运作;操作
3 Ensure 确保
4 Maximum 最大的
5 Sufficient 足够的
6 On the condition that. 以.为条件
7 Interfere with 干涉;妨碍
好句As it is increasingly expensive to maintain museums, sufficient money must be raised from both government sources and private either businesses or individuals donations, in order to keep them open to public.

1. 描述现状,指出我的观点,应该主要由政府支持
2. 充分肯定三者合理性举例,上海博物馆
3. 强调观点政府支持最好,因为建设公设施本就是政府的义,有余力的企业和个人可以通过纳税或私募的方式支持政府。分类标准面向群体企业以盈利为目的,可能面向有经济实力的群体个人面向特定偏好,与个人风格相似的群体政府各个方面,不同特色性格,甚至阶层的人都可以
4. 总结,有三个资金渠道支持当然好,但主要应该由政府出面支持
Museum keeping cost is on uptrend nowadays. There are several ways that could be used to support museum to open to public, and in my opinion, governments are the best possibilities of all.
Governments, businesses and individuals should certainly be considered when keeping museums open to public. Good polices and enough investment from governments are vital for museums’ sustainable management. Companies are able to provide materials on business. Sponsorship from them always make museums or activities in museums surprising. Finally, individuals have the rights to spend their enthusiasm and money on museums. It is not only the economic supporting, but also give museums spiritual meaning.
In my view, governments’ supporting should be seen as the most important indicator of the management of museums. Governments should bear their own obligation that setting up public facilities like museums. Companies and individuals can support governments through pay taxes or private placement if they would like. After all, they are relevant to different groups in society. Companies always have a purpose to get profit, so that if they invest in a museum, there will be someone visiting who is satisfied in finance. Accepting an individual’s investment is easily add personal feature to a museum, and it will attract someone who has same personalities. But governments’ investment means that museums have their own authority, they have not to do some profitability usages. They are open to actual public involved people from every field and level.
In conclusion, businesses and individuals are useful funding possibilities, however, governments should bear the main responsibility to keep museums’ operation.

开头说明博物馆现状 资助博物馆越越贵。 Government and Business有责任资助博物馆。
论点展开
1艺术品和文物是家的文化遗,博物馆的存在就是为了保护它们。如果没有政府资助,博物馆就不得不提升票价,反而让人们难以负担,使博物馆无法获得充足收入源维护这些文物。
2企业也需要为博物馆提供资助。博物馆往往是一个城市的地标之一。企业可以在博物馆organize their eventsexhibition and promotion related events, 提升他们的brand name从而有钱为博物馆赞助。
结尾应该由政府和企业为博物馆赞助。
Funding museums is becoming increasingly expensive to open for the public. In my opinion, government and corporates have responsibility to give assitance for museums.
To begin with, government have become responsibility to fund museums, because individuals pay taxes and they have to afford expenses of their families. Therefore, individuals are not able to provide sufficient assitance for museum preservation. Secondly, museum represents national culture and preserve the heritage, which are vital for next generation. The youth acquire the knowledge of the history of their country, the form their national identity. If govenment do not fund for museusms, there is drastic impact on heritage preservation. Without the financial assistance from government, tickets will be more expensive and unaffordable for people. Consequently, they cannot take interest to visit these galleries and museum cannot sustain the enormous cost to maintain those heritages.
Furthermore, corporates are also supposed to donate their money to museums. These types of building are normally the landmark of city which represent status. Companies can organize their events such as exhibition and promotion related activities. In this way they can promote their brand name and also afford to fund museum. For instance, corporates in USA gain profit from hosting art galleries in the museum where attract plenty of foreign tourists. In return, museums and tourists industry also get revenues from those visitors, promoting economic growth and employment creation.
In conclusion, museums are very essential for employment, economy and culture. Thus, government and companies are able to fund museum because they have sufficient to preserve them.

论点 政府为主,企业为辅,个人不出
论据一博物馆能传播文化,起教育作用,故博物馆属于基础设施是政府民生工程,可以培养兴趣和人才,促进社会发展,应有政府出钱保障。
论据二博物馆的维护费用比较高,如果此费用自门票收入,会导致消费超出大众的承受范围,违背了博物馆传播文化的初衷
论据三一些有收藏爱好的人或者在有能力为家文化事业做贡献的企业可以在自愿的基础上通过捐赠等方式提供资金。举例
With the devlopment of society, as a entertainment and education activity, visiting museum is more and more popular in public, which leads to more fund produced. I think government is the best way to solve this problems, at the same time, some businesses and individuals also can help.
The best function for museum is spreading native culture and education the public. Thus, museums belong to the educational and cultural scope of the governments livelihood projects. The government have responsibility to ensure the daily operation of the museum, more public can cultivate their interests in culture or technology, more historian and technician will be cultivated, society can develop faster.
Besides, the high maintain fund can not come from the ticker form individuals. Because the high price of of admission will increase the burden of the public, they do not want to enter the museum, contrary to the original purpose of the museumto spread culture.
Certainly, I think some people have the hobby on collection or some businesses capable of contributing to the country can help the government with fund. For example, the data from the university of California shows 46.5 of the museums maintenance costs me come from donations.
In conclusion, governemnt funding should be the main source of museum operating costs, with businesses and individuals doing their best to help.
