　　口語范文答案：

 

　　Well, I’d definitely call these people brave. My understanding of the word “bravery” is that one is ready to face and endure danger. And these people are doing just that. They are out there jumping off a cliff, or jumping down from a plane, all of which ①takes a lot of nerve.Compared to them, my life as an ordinary office worker would ②have nothing to do with the word “bravery”. Everyday I’d get up, ③commute to my company, and ④punch the clock. Even if I had the chance to go skydiving, I’d probably say no. So I’d⑤give them a thumbs up.

 

　　And as for the word “foolish”, I think we ⑥are not in the right position to call them that, because even if they are ⑦risking lives doing extreme sports, it’s their choices after all.

 

　　我肯定會把這些人稱為是“勇敢”的。我對“勇敢”這個詞的理解是，你準備好了去面對和忍受危險，而這些人恰好就是在這么做。他們從懸崖上跳下來，或者從飛機上往下跳，這都需要很大的勇氣。而和他們相比，我作為一個普通辦公室員工的生活，就和“勇敢”沒什么關系了。每天無非起床，通勤去公司，打卡上班。即使我有機會去跳傘，或許也會拒絕的。所以我要給他們點贊。

 

　　至于“愚蠢”這個詞，我覺得我們沒資格這么說他們，因為就算他們為了做極限運動冒了生命危險，那畢竟也是他們自己的選擇。
