2008年6月作文题目及范文
提纲
1. 娱乐活动多种多样
2. 娱乐活动可能使人们受益,也可能有危害性
3. 作为大学生我的看法
范文: Recreational activity
Abundant recreational activities are available for people to release their strain and stress, ranging from sports to online activities. There is going on a hot debate arguing whether they are good for the public or not, especially for college students.
As for such a question, different people hold different views. Some believe that recreation is helpful if we want to keep healthy physically and mentally. While there also sounds an opposite voice, which claims that activities also bring many problems. For example, some young people are easily addicted to the virtual world online, which affects their study seriously and may lead to worse consequences as well.
As for me, I hold a belief that recreational activities do more good than harm. They do give us a good chance, and efficiency too. As long as we can arrange the time reasonably, they will definitely provide more benefits for us.

从运动到网游,各式各样的娱乐活动都能够缓解人们的疲劳和压力。但这些活动是否对民众尤其是大学生有益已经引起了很大的争议。
对于这一问题,人们各持己见。一部分人认为娱乐活动有助于我们保持健康的身体和心理,但也有反对的 声音,有人认为娱乐活动会带来很多问题,例如一些年轻人很容易沉迷于网络中的虚拟世界,这会对学生产生极坏的影响并带来严重的后果。
在我看来,我坚信娱乐活动利大于弊。它能帮助我们提高效率,使我们能够合理的安排时间,很明显它将给我们带来极大的好处。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Limiting the Use of Disposable Plastic Bags. You should write at Least 120 words following the outline given below:
1.一次性塑料袋曾广泛使用
2.由此带来的问题
3.限制使用一次性塑料袋的意义
范文:Disposable Plastic Bags
Nowadays we may find ourselves surrounded by a sea of disposable plastic bags. And recently the problems of using disposable plastic bags have been brought into people’s focus.
First of all, the use of disposable plastic bags causes irreversible harm to our environment. As these bags are not biodegradable, they are blocking the drainage system and causing water pollution. What’s more, customers using disposable plastic bags may think that they are of great convenience. But what they don’t quite realize is that there will be remarkable negative impact on our health. And sometimes careless disposal of these bags may even poison some innocent animals.
In view of the severity of this issue, effective measures have been taken in our country. There has been a strict limit on the using of disposable plastic bags in supermarkets, which not only enhances people’s awareness on environmental protection but also cuts down the cost of the running of supermarkets.
作文地带提供参考翻译:一次性塑料袋
如今在我们周围是一片一次性塑料袋的海洋。最近使用一次性塑料袋的问题引起了人们的广泛关注。
首先,使用一次性塑料袋会对环境造成不可挽回的破坏。因为这些塑料袋是不可分解的,它们堵塞排水系统造成水污染。此外,消费者会认为使用一次性塑料袋很方便。但他们没有真正的意识到这将会对我们的身体健康造成很大的伤害。有时对这一垃圾的处理不当会对无辜的动物造成毒害。
针对这一问题的严重性,我们国家已经采取了有效的措施。超市对使用一次性塑料袋有了严格的限制,这样不仅加强了人们的环保意识而且降低了商家的花销。

Free Admission to museums
越来越多的博物馆免费对外开放的目的是什么?也会带来一些问题;你的看法?
范文:Free Admission to Museums?
Nowadays, a lot of museums open to the public for free, and a lot of people are attracted to go there. However, it also brought some unexpected problems.
At present, people can get knowledge from many ways like libraries, internet, and other sources. However, there is also much information that people cannot get from the above ways. Free admission museums supply more chances for the public to get knowledge that cannot be easily accessed. People can learn more things about history, art, science and so on. Although, this kind of policy brought much convenience to the public, it also caused some problems. For example, beggars and shabby-dressed people may enter the museums and cause bad reputation among the public; along with the increasing number of people getting into museums, there will be no enough service establishments to meet the requirements; besides, under the policy of free admission, the cultural relics displayed there may be inevitably broken or damaged by the crowds. Moreover, the crowds in the museums may also cause security problems.
In my opinion, free admission is a good policy for the public, and it brings the public much convenience. But, we should also take possible measures to protect the cultural relics and maintain the order of spot. Besides, we can also take the policy of giving free admission first to children, then to the retired person, and last to the public. I think, this may help to solve the problems.
作文地带提供参考翻译:博物馆是否应当免费开放?
如今,大量的博物馆对公众免费开放,吸引了大量的人入馆参观。然而,随之也出现了一些问题。
现在,人们获取知识的途径有很多种,比如图书馆,网络等。然而仍然有一些知识是不能从上述这些资源中获得的。博物馆免费开放,给人们提供了很大的机会来获取一些不太容易接触的知识。人们能够学到更多的历史,艺术,科学等知识。这个政策给公众带来了很大的便利,但是它仍然带来了一些问题。例如,乞丐和那些衣裳褴褛的人进入博物馆,这样在公众当中造成了不好的名声,随着更多的人进入博物馆,服务设施将不足以满足人们的 要求;另外,由于免费开放政策的实施,陈列的文物可能会不可避免的受到拥挤人群的毁坏。此外,拥挤的人群也会造成安全问题。
在我看来,免费开放对公众是一个好的政策,它给公众带来很多便利。但是,我们应当采取一些可能的措施来宝物文物,维护场地的秩序。另外,我们还可以实施一些政策比如儿童、老年人优先。我认为这将有助于解决问题。

❷ 一篇英语四级作文。
It pays to be honest
Look around us and you'll see dishonest cases fill our world.
Students tend to cheat in their exams;Many parents even get their kids to deceive the bus-assistants by pretending shorter hoping to escape the fee .The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant plicity nowadays. But all of this brings us nothing but misfortune.
Living with integrity means being an open, honest person. It means saying what you think because you shouldn’ hide what you believe. If you are not true to yourself – if you are dishonest, if you hide part of yourself, either as a defense mechanism or to get a promotion or make money, you will create what I have heard called an ‘inner darkness,’ and this will haunt you for life.
It pays to be honest.You might be able to succeed in some senses by being dishonest and plicitous, but in the end you will be unable to face yourself, and if you cannot look in the mirror with a clear conscience, how can you be yourself?
In a word,staying honest whatever it takes and in return you are to get all you deserve in the end,for integrity of your mind promises an intact soul.
❸ 英语四级考试一般会出什么题目的作文
下面主要从三个方面介绍一下四级写作的命题特点,即题材,体裁和命题形式。
1. 题材
四级写作的话题,具有很强的实用性和时事性,涉及校园生活、现代科技、社会问题以及对他们的简单理由分析、方案提出。
校园话题:校园浪费、学生会主席竞选、名校校园旅游、选择课程或教师等;
社会问题:当代妇女、淡水资源紧缺、环境、交通、住房、假冒伪劣商品等;
现代科技:电脑之类的现代科技发明等。
2. 体裁
从体裁上讲,写作部分考察的形式有议论文、说明文、记叙描述文和书信演讲类情景应用文。
1)议论文主要分为提纲式议论文和标题式议论文两类。
提纲式议论文根据题材可分为正反观点对比类型和原因现象解释类型。如2006年12月真题就属于正反观点对比类型:
1. 许多人喜欢在除夕夜观看春节晚会;
2. 但有些人提出取消春节晚会;
3. 你的看法。
而2007年12月的真题却属于原因现象解释型的议论文。
1. 各大学开设了各种各样的选修课
2. 学生因为各种原因选择了不同的选修课
3. 以你自己为例…
标题式议论文的主要特点是论证说理,通常以某一名言警句或谚语为题目,要求考生们对其客观真理性加以阐述和论证。如1997年1月真题:
Practice makes perfect
2)说明文主要可以分为阐述主题型、利弊分析型、解决问题型:
阐述主题型的如1991年1月真题:
Bicycles----An Important Means of Transport in China.
1. 为什么自行车在中国这样普及。
2. 和汽车比较。
3. 自行车在中国的前途。
利弊分析型的如1998年1月真题:
Harmfulness of Fake Commodities.
1. 目前社会上有不少假冒伪劣商品(fake commodities)。为什么会有这种现象?
2. 举例说明假冒伪劣商品对消费者个人、社会等的危害。
解决问题型的如2001年1月真题:
How to Succeed in a Job Interview?
1. 面试在求职过程中的作用
2. 取得面试成功的因素:仪表、举止谈吐、能力、专业知识、自信、实事求是. . .
3)应用文写作主要包括演讲词,导游解说词、求职求学信、投诉信和公告通知等(2004年6月的导游词,2005年1月的竞选演说词)。
3. 命题形式
四级作文的命题形式是六种:中英文提纲式、情景式、图表式、段首句式、关键词式及标题式。在所有这六种形式中,提纲式所占比例最高,在80%以上;其次是情景式,2003年6月开始,情景作文大量出现,命题人设定一个情景,让学生用所学的英语去处理一件假定的事情。(如2003年6月的车祸见证书,2003年9月的同学生病),图表式作文只考过两次(1991年6月 Changes in People's Diet 和 2002年6月Student Use of Computers)。
考生们应在平素的练习中针对每一种体裁和形式作相应的练习以便熟悉各种命题的写作套路和方法。下面以2006年6月大学英语四级考试的作文为例,从审题、段落、句式和选词四个方面探讨英语四级作文的写作方法。
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Students Selecting their Lecturers. You should write at Least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程的任课教师;
2. 学生选择教师时所考虑的主要因素;
3. 学生自选任课老师的益处和可能产生的问题。
[范文]
On Students Selecting their Lecturers
With the remarkable reform of higher ecation, students in some universities are entitled to choose their lecturers for certain designated courses for the flexibility and efficiency of their learning practice. This move has been welcomed by some students and has become the focus of students' and teachers' concern as well.
Obviously, there are some factors that students take into consideration when choosing lecturers. First and foremost, the teacher should have a diverse academic background and excel at what he or she teaches. It is because a learned teacher can give students much knowledge in a specific field, help them widen their horizon and at the same time cultivate their potential. Moreover, quite a few students think it is essential that the teacher is humorous and passionate in teaching. The reason is that students will learn quickly and thoroughly when the class is enjoyable and when they are motivated to learn. In addition, a teacher who gives students high marks in exams and papers is preferred.
Students' free choosing of lecturers may have many advantages, such as encouraging students to take an active part in classes and promoting lecturers to improve their teaching quality. Good as selecting lecturers is, it also gives rise to many problems. For one thing, the management of classes may be in a disorder. Some teachers can be so warmly welcomed that the number of the students in his class may be too large while other courses may have few participants. For another thing, schools might end up with lecturers who teach interesting classes and give high scores without much real content. Therefore further attention should be paid to this phenomenon.
解析:
1) 审题。
2006年6月作文的题材是考查校园话题--学生选择任课教师及其利弊分析;就体裁来说是经常考到的提纲式论说文,它要求考生们根据给出的题目(on the topic of students selecting lecturers)和提纲(1. 有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程的任课教师;2. 学生选择教师时所考虑的主要因素;3. 学生自选任课老师的益处和可能产生的问题),确定文章的中心思想,然后分段展开论述,表达提纲的主旨。
2) 段落安排。
提纲式论说文仍然符合四级写作的布局要求三段式作文,提纲可以看作是分段点,即:第一段写第一点,第二段写第二点,第三段完成第三点。第一段是引言段,引出现在大学中存在的现象――有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程任课老师,描述现状,引出主题。With the remarkable reform of higher ecation, students in some universities are entitled to choose their lecturers for certain designated courses for the flexibility and efficiency of their learning practice.
第二段是主体段,解释学生选择老师时所考虑的主要因素,即他们选择什么样的老师和为什么做出这样的选择。根据前面提到的段落写作技巧,第一句话是这一段的主题句,可以对中文提纲进行翻译,并且稍加改动,如Obviously, there are some factors that students take into consideration when choosing lecturers. 然后列举出几个较有代表性的理由,注意一定要在列举的几条理由前面加上表示层次关系的连接词来使文章思路清晰,逻辑层次清楚。如:First and foremost, the teacher should have a diverse academic background and excel at what he or she teaches. It is because…, 接着阐述其它理由,如:Moreover, quite a few students think it is essential that the teacher is humorous and passionate in teaching.
第三段是结尾段,讨论"学生选择老师"这样一个校园话题的好处以及可能产生的问题。先写益处,如Students' free choosing of lecturers may have many advantages, such as…, 然后话题转折提出弊端 Good as selecting lecturers is, it also gives rise to many problems. For one thing …最后一句是结论句Therefore further attention should be paid to this phenomenon
3) 句型变换。
全文长短句交错,句型富于变化。采用以简单句为基础,同时配以复杂句,如定语从句a teacher who gives students high marks…,主语从句 It is essential that… 倒装句Good as selecting lectures is… 分词结构 when choosing lecturers…
4) 词汇运用。
全文用词准确、规范,丰富,如"选择"可以用choose 和 select;使用一些精彩的固定搭配,使文章增色不少,如 end up with, give rise to; 巧用过渡词,使文章衔接自然、紧凑,如first and foremost, moreover, in addition, as, therefore,for one thing等。
❹ 英语四级考试的作文类型有哪些
1、中文提纲作文
通常提纲作文都是给出三个提纲,每个提纲即是一段,正好符合四级作文“三段论”的布局,同学们可以根据提纲进行描述。例如:A、许多人考证书。B、其目的是什么。但这种作文由于比较简单,现在已经很少进行考查了。
2、素材评论作文
给出一段背景素材,让考生表达对该段素材的看法。素材未必一定是某个事件,也有可能是引语评论作文,引用的内容可能是名人名言,也可能是生活中的谚语,让考生评论其内在含义,并进行相应的文章写作。
3、图画评论作文
根据给定的漫画,通过观察漫画场景,对漫画内容发表评论。这类作文一定要先对漫画场景进行基本描述,然后通过其蕴含的哲理,对现象主旨进行提炼。
4、图表评论作文
根据给定的某事件相关数据,进行数据分析,并对图表中数据反映的直观现象和深层含义进行评论。这类题同图画评论作文一样,要先对图表进行描述,然后再对内容进行探讨和评论。
5、应用文
应用文考的比较多的是书信或电子邮件的书写。2013年12月的六级考试作文中有要求考生写求职信的题目,这类题目虽然考试几率较低,但是同学们也一定要了解书信的格式。

❺ 英语四级作文范文多篇
1、北京奥运
The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics logo has a single Chinese character on a traditional red Chinese seal. The English words "Beijing 2008" are written with a Chinese brush below it. At the bottom of the picture, there are the five rings of Olympic Games. The figure in the logo resembles a runner or dancer and the Chinese character "jing" which means "capital".
The image carries the message that today's China is not only a nation with a long and glorious history, but also one full of modern dynamics. First and foremost, this logo is a journey to the future, the emblem for China moving towards the 2008 Olympic Games. What is more, it is a symbol of the city's promise to make the Games a success. Accordingly, this emblem represents the heart of an ancient culture embracing the modern world, the spirit of a people moving towards a new destiny.
In my view, first of all, the Olympic Game represents the spirit of sports. Arms flung wide, it invites all people and the world to share in the city's history, beauty, energy, and its future. In addition, it is a gesture of friendship and hope that the community of nations will unite in peace through sports.
参考译文
北京2008年夏季奥运会会徽在传统的红色中国印章上刻着一枚汉字。汉字下方用中国毛笔书写了“北京2008”的英文字样。图画底部是奥运的五环标志。会徽中的人物象征了一位跑步者或舞蹈者,而汉字“京”的意思是“首都”。
这一会徽表达了当今的中国不仅个拥有悠久灿烂的历史国度,更是一个充满了现代活力的国家。首先,这一会徽是一次奔向未来之旅,是中国迈向2008年奥运会的象征。其次,它是北京承诺将成功举办奥运的标志。因此,这一会徽代表了一种悠久文化拥抱现代世界的信心,以及中国人民迈向新征程的精神。
在我看来,奥林匹克运动会首先代表了体育的精神。它伸展了双臂邀请全世界及其人民分享北京的历史、魅力、能量及未来。此外,它是友谊的象征,以及希望国际社会通过体育运动进而和平共处。
2、留学
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Studying Abroad. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:
1)目前很多中国学生出国留学,
2)出国留学的好处,
3)我的看法。
Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents. Importance should be attached to studying abroad.
There are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values. What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.
Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have. Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is concive to the growth of adolescents.
3、网络
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Internet. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、 互联网使用的现状,
2、 大学生是否应该使用互联网,人们的看法不同,
3、 我的看法。
In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet. As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.
On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life. As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.
Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overinlgence. After all,Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.
4、考试
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Views on Examinations. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1)大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩,
2)考生可能带来的副作用,
3)我对考试的看法。
In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.
To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.
In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
5、老师
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The most unforgettable Teacher I ever Know. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1)我生活中最难忘的老师是……
2)为什么他(或她)令我难以忘怀,
3)结论。
In my life I have met a great many teachers who are really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable one I ever know is my English teacher.
What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field. Second, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.
Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.
6、求学信
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter applying for admission into a college or university. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

8、投诉信
Directions: You live in a room in college which you share with another student. You find it very difficult to work there because your roommate always has friends visiting. Write a letter to the Accommodation Officer at the college.
1)要求下学期换一个新房间,

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next semester. I would prefer a single room, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.
I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate’s inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him; for another, he regularly holds noisy parties. In these circumstances, I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies, and I am falling behind in my assignments.
I am sure you will agree that the only solution is for me to move into a room of my own. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Credit Cards
Personal credit cards are becoming more common in China. Banks and other financial institutions are encouraging their customers to change the way they buy things. Credit cards, otherwise known as “plastic money”, are being offered on very good terms to encourage the change. Consumers will be able to “buy now, pay later”, and many see this as an advantage.
But people need to be careful. There are dangers associated with credit cards. Some people find it very easy to exceed their budget. They are tempted to purchase goods that they do not really need, and can become quickly overburdened by debt. The credit cards often charge a high rate of interest, which exacerbates the problems for these people.

Do you suffer from cybersickness It causes nausea while scrolling on phones
The rise of mobile phones has been blamed for a number of social ills, but your smart phone may also be making you physically sick as well. Scientists have identified a condition called “cybersickness”, which they say is the digital version of motion sickness. The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 percent of the population who own smartphones or tablets, leads to feelings of nausea and unsteadiness. It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen and covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone. The more realistic the visual content is, the higher your chances of getting cybersickness. The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed addressing. Cyriel Diels, a cognitive psychologist and human factors researcher at Coventry University’s centre for Mobility and Transport, said: “It’s a fundamental problem that’s kind of been swept under the carpet in the tech instry.” “It’s a natural response to an unnatural environment.” Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it. The mismatch in digital sickness is the opposite—you see movement on the screen but do not feel it. The effect is the same and the symptoms include a headache, wanting to throw up, confusion and the need to sit down. Often cybersickness manifests itself in a subtle way and sufferers put it down to stress or eyestrain.Steven Rauch, a professor of otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School, said: “Your sense of balance is different than other senses in that it has lots of inputs.” When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and nausea “Some studies that have been carried out into cybersickness found that women are more susceptible than men, the New York Times reported. Those who have Type A’ personalities—meaning they are confident and assertive—are more likely to suffer from cybersickness as well. Among those who have reported experiencing the condition have been video gamers who spend hours playing fast paced games. Cinema-goers have struggled with some scenes in action movies which have quick cuts and fast editing—and virtual reality has made the problem even worse. Jonathan Weinstein, a professor at the Kanbar Institute for Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, said: “The idea is to get audiences to feel like participants in the action rather than outside observers of the action. Engineers at Oculus VR, the virtual headset manufacturer, have admitted that digital motion sickness is one of their biggest problems.

移动电话的广泛使用被指引发了诸多社会弊端,不仅如此,手中的智能机也会让你觉得身体不适。科学家们把这种状态称为“晕屏”,是晕车的电子版。80%的手机和平板用户会晕屏,他们会有恶心、眩晕的感觉。造成晕屏的原因是浏览了含移动内容的屏幕,可能是看了有追车镜头的电影,也可能是浏览了手机上滚动的内容页。视觉内容越真实,晕屏的发生率就越高。《纽约时报》的一篇文章报道了这种症状。英美专家在文章中称,这个问题需要着手解决。认知心理学家、考文垂大学移动运输中心的人为因素研究员西里尔·蒂尔斯表示:“对弊端置之不理算得上是科技产业一个最根本的问题了。”“这是对非自然环境作出的自然反应。”晕动症会令患者感到肌肉和内耳在移动,但实际上并没有看到它们在移动。而晕屏症恰恰相反——你看到屏幕在移动,实际上却感受不到。二者的影响却是相同的,其症状为头疼、想吐、思绪混乱,需要静坐下来。晕屏症状通常不易察觉,患者会以为是因为压力大或者视觉疲劳引起的。哈佛医学院耳鼻喉科教授史蒂芬·劳奇表示:“与其他感官不同,当有大量信息输入时,人的平衡感会发生改变。”“当这些信息输入没有被感官接受,你就会觉得头晕、恶心。”《纽约时报》称,一些有关晕屏的研究发现,女性比男性更容易晕屏。A型人格,即果断自信的人,也更容易晕屏。“有晕屏症状的通常是连续几小时玩快节奏视频游戏的玩家。看动作片的观众在看到快速剪辑和切换的镜头时会不舒服,这是因为虚拟实境会加重晕屏。纽约大学提斯克艺术学院康贝尔影视研究所的教授乔纳森·温斯坦说:“动作片就是想让观众身临其境,而不是当一个局外人。”虚拟实境游戏头盔制造商“欧酷拉”公司的工程师们坦言,晕屏也是他们面临的最大问题之一。
