小学四年级英语日记带翻译简单合集20篇

迎着七月的微风，暑假来临。我们一家人前往碧水湾游玩，一切场景历历在目。

进入大堂，一种金碧辉煌的气派直逼眼眸，好似我也成了一道豪华的风景线，今人感到十分高贵，如皇宫一般。

我们换上了色彩鲜艳的泳衣，让我们显得格外精神。我们兴高采烈地奔向温泉区，享受了奇香无比的玫瑰池。走进池中，我被这股玫瑰花香深深地吸住了，这令我进入了幻境。好似这世界上唯独只有我和那芬芬扑鼻的玫瑰花和。这令我在池中呆了许久都不肯上岸。

接着，我们来到游泳池。水冷得我直发抖，但是我还是勇敢地站了起来，不一会儿我就手舞足蹈起来，像只活蹦乱跳的小青蛙。于是，我迅速地向另一边游去，蹬着水花，溅得地边的人一脸的水，我也丝毫不在意。

从化碧水湾是多么的美，美不胜收，真是一个闻名的旅游胜地!

我的校园江都实验小学，位于江都北区，占地大约40亩，它有南北两个门，今天我就带大家浏览一番吧! My campus Jiangdu Experimental Primary School, located in Jiangdu North District, covers an area of about 40 acres. It has two north and south doors. Today I will take you to browse!

进了南门，一眼就看见一条笔直宽阔的路，马路中间有一个雕塑，不论是风吹雨打，还是烈日曝晒都静静地陪伴着我们成长，马路两旁排列着整齐的宣传栏，好像士兵守护着校园。

雕塑的东南角是谨信溪。这里有清澈见底的溪水，有叮咚作响的瀑布，不时有调皮的小鱼探出脑袋，好像在跟我们打招呼，小溪的上面造型奇特的假山，好像一个威武的巨人，阳光下，“谨信溪”三个大红字熠熠生辉。提醒我们要讲诚信。

穿过谨信溪，就来到了我们的乐园──操场，操场是红绿相间的在这里留下了我们快乐的声音和辛苦的汗水。

操场后面是知识的海洋──图书馆。这是一个圆柱形的建筑，里面的.书很丰富，摆放得整整齐齐，小朋友在那学习，安静的连一根针掉在地上都能听得见。

马路的西边排排整齐的教学楼，教学楼一共有四层，每层有四个班级。

这就是我的校园，欢迎你来参观。

It was October 12th yesterday. My friends held a birthday party for me. In

I liked them very much. I invited them to the KTV, we sang songs, danced and

played games. About 5:30 p.m., we went my home. My mother had cooked a delicious

wish, and then I blew the candles out in one breath. I had an interesting

birthday party. We had a good time in the party. I was so grateful to what they

美味的午餐

今天上午我放学回来的时候，当我一打开门，一阵香味扑鼻而来。然后我看见我妈妈正在厨房煮菜，哇!那都是我最喜欢的食物：小龙虾、鸡翅、糖醋排骨、宫保鸡丁和清蒸鱼。我妈妈说：“你舅舅、舅妈和你小表弟得下来我们家做客。”难怪我妈妈怎么会做那么多美食。我们吃完午饭后，我感觉非常饱，因为那些菜实在很好吃，并且我已经很久没有吃过那么好吃的食物了。然后我和我的小表弟玩耍，他两岁了，胖嘟嘟的非常可爱。

导语：你长大后想干什么呢？下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的My dream job英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

My dream job(约80字)

When I grow up, Im going to do what I want to do. Im going to move somewhere interesting. Paris sounds like a city that I could that enjoy. There are lots of art exhibitions there. I want to be an artist . So how am I going to do it? First, Imgoing to find a part-time job for a year or tow and save some money. Then Im going to be a student at an art school in Paris.

翻译

我梦想中的工作

当我长大后，我要做我想做的事。我要搬到一个有趣的地方。巴黎听起来像是一个我可以享受的城市。那里有许多艺术展览。我想成为一名艺术家。那么我该怎么做呢?首先，我打算找一份兼职工作一两年，存一些钱。然后我将成为巴黎一所艺术学校的学生。

“呼呼呼”一阵突如其来的风，把我卷走了，我来到一个美如仙境的地方，瀑布从山顶“哗哗”流下山脚，水面上还飘着几片花瓣，“咦!那里有个门，去看看。”好奇心强烈地驱使着我，我往前走去，推开门，我看见的却是……

空气中弥漫着浓浓的黑烟，人们为了不吸到浓烟而躲在家里，人们只顾吃喝拉撒不顾外面的世界是乌烟瘴气，吃完喝完的东西也随手往窗外一扔……“喂!姓郑的还不赶紧出来!世界都快毁灭了，你还有心情在家!”“你叫我……”我被一只手抓出了门外，我定睛一看，原来是孙大圣呀，他猴急猴急的，大声说：“这个世界的人们对工厂产生的浓烟不管不顾，人们越来越懒散，吃完东西的果皮纸屑也随地乱扔，这个世界就快毁灭啦!你们人类这是在破坏自己的家园啊!”

孙悟空说着说着竟然还吼了起来。他取出一颗小胶囊说：“这是保护环境胶囊，只要往天上一抛再大喊‘保护环境，人人有责’世界就会恢复之前的状况了。”孙悟空起话来像打机关枪似的那么快。我照着孙悟空的说法，把胶囊往天上一抛“嘭”一声，世界果然就恢复之前了：人们一个个打开窗，伸着懒腰，花草树木也不像之前无精打采的了，世界重新焕发出勃勃生机……“悟空、悟空，这个胶囊能一直让世界保持这样鸟语花香吗?”“这个……这个……这个……那就要靠你们自己人类的意识了。”说完，这句话悟空就消失不见了。

“啪”的一声，我从床上掉了下来，原来是个梦啊!这个梦让我和孙悟空过了一天，不过这个梦却让我对保护环境的意识更深了。

我去过美丽的方山，去过恐怖的鬼屋，还去过雄伟的北京城，但我最难忘的还是去年暑假那有趣又惊险的北京欢乐谷之行。

记得那天我们刚到欢乐谷门口，突然传来一声“啊”的尖叫声，这到底是哪儿传来的呢?我们寻着声音走过去。啊!原来是过山车呀!这可是我的最爱呢!我拉着妈妈走了上去，开始排队。快要轮到我了，我的怀里好像踹了个兔子，心怦怦直跳。终于轮到我了，我紧紧的系上安全带，死死的握住把手，稳稳的坐在椅子上。过山车启动了，徐徐的爬上坡，我的心也开始往上提，突然过山车一个俯冲，吓得我心都提到了嗓子眼儿。这时，过山车又来了一个后空翻，紧接着转了好几圈，根本没给我缓冲的时间，惊险又刺激的过山车便结束了，我惊恐的看着旁边的人，只见他脸白的像一张白纸，不用说，我肯定和他是一样的。

玩完了过山车，我们又来到了激流勇进。我们来到小溪边，坐上了小船，游戏便开始了。小船缓缓地向前移动，我心想：这是什么游戏啊，这么无聊!可是刚想完就后悔了，只见我们的船从数十米的高空掉了下去!我心里好像悬着一块大石头，只听“啪”地一声，船掉了下去，溅了我一身水，我心中的“石头”也落地了。

北京欢乐谷太好玩了，有机会你也可以去哦!

Our classroom is bright and clean. But it is not big. There are twenty-three desks and chairs in it. They are new. Theres a big desk in front of the classroom. Its for our teachers.There are five pictures on the right wall. Theres a map of the world and a map of China on the left wall.

Beside the window theres a bookshelf. There are many books on it. Our classroom is very nice. We have lessons here. We like our classroom.

每个人都会有奇思妙想，比如我就设计了一个电脑教室。

“光阴似箭，日月如梭”眼间到了20__年，有一座电脑学校，为什么叫电脑学校呢?因为这里每个房间都是电脑控制的。

一到楼门口就有几个机器人，发给你一个和盘子一样的东西，只要踩上去它可以在0。1秒就把你送到教室门口。

电脑教室是椭圆形的，无论你坐在哪个位置上，都能看到清晰的黑板和多媒体电脑屏幕。

触摸屏电脑有一个功能：“老师只要在电脑上输入多少课，它会自动备课例如，学习《29课呼风唤雨的世纪》，只要输入课题，它就会自动显示出这篇课文和重点讲解，就样老师可以轻轻松松的上课了，同学们也会津津有味地学习。

下课了，机器人就会帮我们整理书包，以及拿出下一节课的书、本等学习工具等。

大课间到了，机器人可以带你穿越时光，去侏罗纪公园水上乐园等地方玩。哪里有一切你想要玩的东西和游戏，什么摩天轮，什么疯狂动物城，什么发财城堡，什么魔幻森林……应有尽有，游玩结束了再穿越回教室来。

作业完成后，按动桌上电钮，电脑会自动扫描，把作业传输到老师的电脑上，老师在电脑上批改，批改后再传输我课桌上的电脑上，我会订正作业出现的错误。

考试时，无人监堂。每个人会由机器人助教发的试卷，同学们答完试卷，再按动书桌上的按钮，电脑再次扫描，只几秒钟，成绩就跃然纸上了，高效快捷。

“浪费别人的时间等于谋财害命，浪费自己的时间则是慢性自杀”请大家和我都不要忘记这句话，让我们珍惜时间，努力学习，不要浪费自己和别人的时间，早点让电脑学校诞生吧!

Look forward to a long time of Halloween has finally come. School organization each class to do a pumpkin lights, my class pumpkin looks small and exquisite, some also with eerie. Its strange eyes, mouth greatly, like to eat the rest of us. Then suddenly dark, we put the shiny pumpkins in the central lighting we. (at that time didnt turn on the light)

Then we launched a thrilling "spirits" game. I bring the flow of blood mask, began to scream like a ghost. I and a "potato" soil lay in ambush behind a girl, I patted the girls shoulder, but "soil potato people" learn to sneer at the ghost. The girl turned to quivering, we toghter screamed, the girl turned pale with fright, burying his face in his "ah" fly away, and we are delighted to snigger in cold place, grateful to successfully scared away a girl ah. Yang, on the other hand, the teacher is wearing a cloak, which pupils who she put on the head, who once caught, other ghosts will be to help the "the devil" throw the bad guy in the gate, and sent two "protect the devil who" hold the "prison", dont let him come in again.

Playing playing, do not know from where comes out of a "team" to candy to the teacher or a classmate to candy, and team is more and more big, the circulation in preparatory department. I ask students to join this, and said hed thought for candy to others. The team took the "magic" with this group of our "small magic" relentlessly broke into a classroom, "led the magic" shouted 1: "slogan!" The "little magic" then cry loudly together: "give... give me sugar! Give me sugar!..." The scene is spectacular: the teacher threw a handful of sweets in the middle of the classroom, all set "the little demon", crowded a crowded, push, push, robs rob. Eventually I grabbed a milk sugar, not to have to leave somewhat despondently. Back in the class, I counted the harvest tonight, well, very good, that had a grain of sugar, please.

Its a pity that a happy moment is always so short, happy Halloween is coming to an end.

盼望以久的万圣节终于来临。学校组织每个班做一个南瓜灯，我班的南瓜灯看似小巧玲珑，其中也带着一些阴森恐怖。它的眼睛奇形怪状的，嘴巴张的大大，像似要吃掉我们一样。一转眼就夜幕降临，我们把闪闪发亮的南瓜灯摆在中央来照明我们。(当时没开灯)

接着我们就展开了一场惊心动魄的“鬼抓人”游戏。我带上那流着鲜血的面具，开始像鬼一样的尖叫起来。我和一位“土薯人”埋伏在一位女生后面，我拍了拍那个女生的肩膀，而“土薯人”却学着鬼的冷笑。这个女生颤颤巍巍地转过脸来，我们一齐尖叫起来，这个女生吓得脸色发白，“啊”的一声捂住脸飞似的逃走了，而我们却幸灾乐祸地在冷处暗笑，庆幸自己成功地吓走了一位女生呵。另一方面，杨老师正披着一件披风，哪位同学上来她就把谁头蒙上，谁一但被抓住，其他的鬼魂也会来帮助这个“大魔头”一起把这个不幸的家伙扔在门外，并派两名“护魔鬼卫”守住这个“监狱”，不让他再次进来。

玩着玩着，不知从什么地方冒出了一个“要糖队”，专门向老师或同学要糖果，而且阵容越来越大，在小学部中循环。我叫同学都去加入这一行列，并说要想法向别人讨糖果吃。这个队的“领魔”带着我们这群“小魔”毫不留情地闯入一个教室，“领魔”高喊一声：“口号!”“小魔”们便一起高声呐喊起来：“给我糖!给我糖!给……”这个场面真是壮观：老师把一把糖果扔在教室中间，所有“小魔”一拥而上，挤的挤，推的推，抢的抢。最终我抢到了一颗牛奶糖，没抢到的只好灰溜溜地离开了。回到班级里，我数了数今夜的收获，嗯，非常好，一共得了十五粒糖。

可惜快乐的时光总是那么短暂，愉快的万圣节结束了。

我不仅是一名体育好的体育委员和热心的中队长，而且成绩不错，平时也可以算得上老师的助手，然而就因为这些，常常给我带来许多烦恼，这些烦恼事总是层出不穷，令人常常变得烦心和焦躁，且听我慢慢地细细道来吧! I am not only a sports member and an enthusiastic center captain, but also good grades, and you can also be regarded as the teachers assistant. HoweverIt brings me a lot of troubles. These troubles are always endless, and people often become annoying and anxious, and listen to me slowly!

我们最近在复习，同桌合做同一张考卷。两个人同做一道题，并互相解释自己的做法。答案有分歧，要将过程一步一步往下对，一旦遇到不同，要重做一遍，并展示自己的过程，这才是老师让我们同桌合做的真正目的。

然而与我们截然不同的是我的后桌。共同讨论批改卷子时，他们就一个人握着红笔，竟连老师让我们互改互讲的初衷要求也不顾。纯粹是在对答案，答案一样他们就不分青红皂白打上鲜红的大钩，这让老师知道，我岂不被老师认为学习好不帮助他人了吗?

实在看不下去的我，不希望他们这样恶性循环下去。他们这样只能是火上浇油，雪上加霜，本来成绩就不太好的他们，这样做一点效果也没有，那老师让我们这样做又有什么用呢?无可奈何的我只好好心提醒他们说：“你们不能只对答案，同时也要对对过程，遇到答案不同的题，你们一定要互相讨论一番，这样才能达到老师要求我们同桌之间合做的效果。”

他们非但不听，还一致认为答案相同过程就不需要讨论，这十分令我烦恼和苦恼。

然而令我更烦恼的是，他们答案一旦有分歧，讨论也不讨论地就习惯性的用笔狠狠地戳我的后背：“快教我们这题怎么做。”烦恼归烦恼，我还是得教。我耐心地慢慢教，他们不仅没听懂，而且还想抄我的答案。我当然不会给他们抄，一边又一遍地教，知道我耐心磨光也无法听懂，因为他们的心思全在答案上，我只好请老师来!

这两件烦恼事还在烦恼着我，那你能否帮我出谋划策想想办法吗?

What a fine day today !I’m very happy in this fine day . Beaucse today I don’t have to do my homework and I can play with my good friends .There is lots of snow now ,so we make a sonw man .That’s really intersting .We play with snow to about 6:30 .Of couse I must go home now. What a fan day ! 译文：多么好的天气阿!在这样的好天气里我非常高兴，因为今天我不用写作业，并且可以和朋友们出去玩。这里现在有很多雪，所以我们堆了一个雪人。那真的很有趣。我们玩雪，一直到晚上6：30。当然现在我必须回家了。 多么有趣的一天啊!

“新年到新年到，穿新衣，戴新帽，家家户户真热闹......”，新年到了，大街上响起了美妙的歌声。每家每户都在忙着贴春联，人人都穿着漂亮的新衣服，到处都是噼哩叭啦的鞭炮声。

除夕夜的晚上，我们一家人在一起吃着团圆饭。妈妈做了好多好多吃的，有鱼、鸡肉炒木耳、青菜、牛肉炒辣椒、羊肉汤、土豆丝等等。其中土豆丝是我的最爱，妈妈说多吃土豆丝记性好，鱼的味道也很鲜美。

饭后爸爸妈妈还发了好多压岁钱给我呢，我们到外面放花炮。那五彩缤纷的礼花如一朵朵美丽的鲜花，那噼啪作响的鞭炮似滚滚春雷。各种不同的礼花接二连三地升空。有的像一窜一窜的毛毛虫;有的像人们下雨天使用的雨伞;有的像直冲云天的火箭;有的像盛开的鲜花……

新年的钟声敲响了，我又长大了一岁，应该更加懂事了。

我们写日记的时候要注意格式，下面是关于小学生英语日记格式，希望对您有帮助~

1. 日记写作格式

英语日记的格式与中文日记大体一样。英语日记通常由两部分组成，即书端和正文。

英语日记的第一行，要写明年、月、日与星期，然后要写明当天的气候状况，日期通常顶格写，后面是星期，天气状况写在右上角。如果是游记，还要写明地点。

Sunny, clear 晴 shower 阵雨

Cloudy 多云 heavy rain 大雨

Light rain 小雨 drizzle 毛毛雨

Overcast 阴 cold 冷天

2. 英语日记的写作文体

英语日记正文可以是叙事、描述、说明、议论等各种形式。其实，由于日记是非常随便的，因此上述文体常常结合在一起使用。英语日记内容取自生活，可长可短，有时无事可记，一两句也可以。写日记贵在坚持，不可断断续续地几天写一篇，那样起不到学习英语的效果。另外，英语日记也应该尽可能讲究一些文采，切忌写成流水账。初学者只要能写出完整并符合语法要求的句子就很难得，所以文采要求是次要的。而对于高中及其以上程度的英语学习者来说，就要求不单要语法正确，而且对句法、选词、谋篇布局等都有较高的要求。

3. 时态

写日记的时间一般是在下午或晚上，有时也有在第二天补记。所记叙的事情通常发生在过去，所以常用一般过去时。但如果要记叙天气、描写景色、展望未来、议论某事或对话引语等，可以使用一般现在时或一般将来时，以生动再现当时的情景。

4. 养成积累词语的习惯

日记是对生活中方方面面的事情的描述和感想的表达，所以写日记要用到单词面很广，这就要求英语学习者在平时要养成积累单词的好习惯，而把记忆的单词运用到日记中更是起到温故作用。值得注意的是，在写日记时，我们都会遇到很多不会写的单词。这时千万不要就此止步，而要先空出来，或者用拼音代替，等一篇日记写完了再查词典不上所缺的单词，并且重点记忆这些单词。这是通过这样的方式，我们才能更快地积累单词和提高英语水平。

5. 英语日记中的缩写与省略

英语写作中经常会有缩略语，比如：Nov. / November. Apr. / April

eg / For example 等各种形式的缩略语。

建议初学者不要用这些缩略语，因为初学者对单词的熟悉程度还不是很高，要不断的应用学过的单词才能记得牢，记得准。

最后需要一提的是，英语日记习惯一年一本，因此日期不必写年份，而只是在每年一本的日记本封面上或者在日记的第一页和最后一页加以注明即可。

6.范文：

May 30, xxxx Friday Sunny

In our class, every student has a big kettle (水壶). But sometimes there is no water in some kettles. My friend Mike and I often fill1 them with water.

Every day at lunchtime, we take lots of kettles downstairs. We run from the sixth floor to the first floor. The kettles are heavy. But we are happy. It’s fun to help others. At the same time, we get closer with our classmates by helping each other.

I went to visit the Great Wall with my friends during the summer vacation.

We went there by bus. It took us about two hours to get there. It was hot and

windy that day. There were thousands of people. When we saw a group of

foreigners,we went up and talked with them. We told them lots of history of the

Great Wall. They were very surprised when they saw that our English were

exellent and we knew a lot about the Great Walls history. They thanked us a lot

and we really had a good time. We felt proud of ourselves and being Chinese.

我和我的朋友在夏令营期间去了长城，我们是乘汽车去的，经过两个小时才到的那儿。那天天气很热，风也很大，那里有很多很多的人，当我们看到一群外国人的时候，我们上去和他们攀谈。我们告诉他们很多关于长城的故事，他们非常惊讶我们的英语是如此的好，而且我们还懂那么多关于长城的故事。他们非常感谢我们，而我们也度过了愉快的一天。我们为自己是一名中国人而感到很自豪。

20__年8月13日 星期六 天气：晴

夏天，太阳火辣辣地烤着大地。忽然，下起了倾盆大雨，炎热的天气终于可以清凉一下了，不过这一瞬间雨又小了起来，天空中出现了一条五彩缤纷的彩虹。

湖边，柳叶卷了起来，好像害羞的小姑娘。湖边的荷花开出了一朵一朵鲜艳的花来，有粉红的、淡黄的、雪白的，美丽极了。湖旁的太阳花鲜花怒放。动物园里的知了整天叫个不停，小狗也整天吐着短短的舌头，大象用长长的鼻子不断地往自己身上浇水，还有老虎、狮子、黑熊整天懒洋洋地泡在水里，享受着水的清凉。

小孩们和爸爸、妈妈们一起去游泳馆游泳，甚至让爸爸、妈妈买棒冰吃。还有的跟爷爷、奶奶去防空洞避暑，更多的是呆在家里开着空调看电视。那些忙碌的爸爸、妈妈们则戴着太阳帽和太阳镜，骑着自行车，匆匆忙忙去上班。读后感范文

Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden

City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and

Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost

efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of

existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.

According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,

performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and

various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as

intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of

ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in

intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the

historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity.

Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we

would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.

However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible

heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It

is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away

without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those

challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that

we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our

spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.
