疯狂英语易背作文022：竞争与合作
22. Competition and Cooperation 竞争与合作
Competition is a common phenomenon in our society. We compete when we play games, we compete in our study, and we constantly compete for jobs, customers and profit, etc. We can say that competition is one of the motives of the development of society.
在社会生活中，竞争是一个普遍现象。在比赛中我们竞争，在学习中我们竞争。在找工作，赢得客户，获得利润等方面都存在着竞争。我们可以说竞争是社会发展的动力之一。
But we often find competition and cooperation go hand in hand. In a football game, one team is competing with the other. But each member of the team is cooperating with his teammates. In most cases, we can't compete without cooperation. Thus they are equally important.
但是我们经常发现，竞争与合作是相伴而生的。在足球比赛中，一个队和另一个队存在竞争。但每个队员和他的队友之间则是相互合作。在多数情况下，没有合作就没有竞争。因此，二者同等重要。
While we are advocating competition, we can't forget cooperation. Nothing can be carried to an extreme. Pure and exclusive competition leads to failure. Only when competition combines with cooperation can it help in obtaining our goals and satisfying our needs.
当我们倡导竞争时，我们不应忘记合作。任何事情不能走极端。纯粹的竞争只能导致失败。只有把竞争与合作相结合，才能有助于我们达到目标并满足自身需求。
