- 参考答案：Promise Is Debt
A famous writer once said, “Promise is debt.” It means that when you make a promise to someone, it is equivalent to you owing a debt to that person. And the debt is paid back only when the promise is fulfilled. So after a promise is given, it must be kept.
First of all, keeping a promise is an extension of honesty. In a love relationship as well as in a business one, keeping a promise can bind the related parties and maintains the relationship, whereas failing to do so can crush and destroy the relationships. Secondly, keeping a promise will gain respect. For example, one of the promises of Beijing Olympic Games is Green Olympics. To carry out this promise, Chinese government made every effort to improve the environment of Beijing. Eventually, all the measures taken were highly appreciated by the international community, earning favorable recognition and immense respect for China.
In summary, once a promise is made, it should be kept under any circumstances. - 系统解析：范文点评：

句法点评：
1. In a love relationship as well as in a business one, keeping a promise can bind the related parties and maintains the relationship, whereas failing to do so can crush and destroy the relationships.
句中whereas是表转折的连词，连接两个意义相反的句子。
2. Eventually, all the measures taken were highly appreciated by the international community, earning favorable recognition and immense respect for China.
句中taken是过去分词，表示被动，作后置定语；earning favorable recognition and immense respect for China是现在分词短语作伴随状语。
