Dear Miss Liang,

I am writing to thank you for your hard work for me. With your help, I make

great progress in my study. A year ago, my study was bad and I didn’t want to

learn, but you never give me up. You told me that I was clever. As long as I

work hard, I would be great. In this year, you cared much about my study and

helped me a lot. When I made mistakes, you always pointed them out and helped me

to correct. Now, my study is much better than before, and I want to express my

gratitude to you. Hope you everything goes well.

Sincerely yours,

Lily

篇1:春天的英语作文带翻译

全文共 1993 字

In march in the wet air spring, I always imagine a picture: garden outside on the grass with small yellow and purple, the middle of the courtyard of the cherry tree tree tree full of flowers to bloom in a warm southerly breeze slowly, in the replacement of the four seasons of green fruit with wide bilge painful expression, from shiny branches grow out of it. Six in the middle of the night of spring, the old cat cant sleep all night, under the tree stamping, swan couples, bark, and the ducks who teams in pairs to fly to the moon.

And I always wake up in the middle of the night, look at the moon rose down-stairs branches long painting on the pebbles, which are covered with buds of green, please.

In the middle of the night I heard the spring is static. Lingering in the ear, there is a special sound short, and want to pour a spoonful of sugar into the tea when the sound, it should be a light rain slapping on to the leaves on the trees. They are reminiscent of the day the road leading to the village.

"Sand sand sand......", in the darkness, forming a slow rhythm.

Slow is composed in B minor. Followed the path of the night and smooth.

On the grass in the spring, filled with fluffy dandelion, with a light yellow colour and lustre, clusters into a cluster to hide.

Like the raindrops in the air.

Dont disturb them. Heavy sleep sleep. Gentle wind rustled gradually forming the flowers. In the gentle spring.

"But you and I as a life hasnt been crying, and gets a long sleep time."

Its just my fantasy. Can you see?

"-- - I can see it."

在三月春天濡湿的空气里,我总想象着一幅画面:花园外面的草地上开满了黄色和紫色的小花,院子当中的樱桃树树上满树的花都从熏风里缓慢地绽放,在四季的更替里青色的果子带着张大的胀痛表情,从发亮的枝条里长出来。春天的深夜六,老猫整夜不能安睡,在树下跺着步,天鹅夫妇发出叫声,而野鸭子们成队成对地向月亮飞去。

而我总在深夜醒来,看月亮把楼下的蔷薇的枝条长长地画在卵石上,那上面长满了青请的花苞。

我在深夜里,听见了春天的静。萦绕在耳边的,有一种声音特别短促,想一勺糖倒进红茶时发出的声音一样,那应该是小雨拍打到树上的叶子的声音。它们让人想起了白天那些引领着道路通向小区的梧桐树。

“沙……沙……沙”,在夜幕里,形成一段缓慢的旋律。

缓慢是沉稳的B小调。循着夜的轨迹滑着。

在春天的草地上,长满了毛茸茸的蒲公英,带着一种淡黄的色泽,成簇成簇拥挤地隐藏着。

像是空气中的雨滴。

没有惊扰。沉沉眠眠。温柔的风拂过逐渐成形的花海。在温和的春里。

“而你我如同尚未啼哭的生命,时光切不断绵长的沉眠。”

这一切只是我的幻想。你看得见么?

“―――我看得见。”

Lu Tung-pin, said: "Everyone threw their treasures on the sea, it is crossed by the sea, comparison and who is more supernatural powers, how?"

Tieguaili first welcomed the recommendation, high-spirited mood he said: "Well you look at me!!" Put the crutches toward the sea, crutches like a boat floating in the water, a torrent somersault, turned upright on crutches.

Han Chung then put his palm-leaf fan thrown into the sea, standing on the top jump.

Subsequently, several other fairy also recount, Chang, old riding a donkey down, marching Lu Tung-pin male and female sword, Xiao Han Xiangzi sitting, riding Xiangu flowers, blue and standing on the green light, obviously drunk stepping jade, are floating up in the sea.

Eight Immortals secure in the surging waves along the drift, which clouds feel different, do not have a new stimulus and atmosphere, we really played with pleasure.

In this case, obviously drunk suddenly points to the right hand, and shouted:

"We see ah! There seat mirage!"

We turned around and saw a gradually rising mountains from the sea, the mountains there are trees, there are buildings, while on the up in the air, the clouds slowly into the horizon, a flash, a cloud that has been scattered by the wind a.

Han Xiang said: "We do not really treat shallow sea dragon mirage gas is booed out of gas, a rare century ah!!"

Suddenly, the blue and disappeared from them. We wait and see far and near, while calling to find, but I could not see blue and traces of old Chang guess, he said:

We came to the Dragon Palace, Dragon King politely request release. Dragon unreasonable, not only refused, but also sent his sons to lead the minor players to kill the Eight Immortals.

所谓八仙是指八位仙人,他们分别是:铁拐李、汉钟离、蓝采和、张果老、何仙姑、韩湘子、曹国舅和吕洞宾。

有一天,八仙向西王母拜寿回来,腾云驾雾从东海上空经过,只见海上波涛汹涌,白浪滔天,煞是壮观。于是,八仙决定到海面上玩一玩。

吕洞宾说:“大家把自己的宝物扔到海面上,借着它渡过大海,比一比谁更有神通,怎么样?”

铁拐李首先对这一建议表示欢迎,他兴致昂扬地说:“好啊!大家先看我的!”便把拐杖投向海中,拐杖像一条小船漂浮在水面,铁拐李一个筋斗,翻立在拐杖上。

接着汉钟离把他的芭蕉扇丢到海上,跳下去站在上面。

接着,其他几位仙人也各显神通,张果老倒骑着毛驴,吕洞宾踏着雌雄宝剑,韩湘子坐着萧,何仙姑乘着花篮,蓝采和站在拍板上,曹国舅踩着玉版,都在海面上漂浮了起来。

八仙安稳地顺着汹涌的波浪漂去,这与腾云驾雾感觉大不相同,别有一番新的刺激和情调,大家玩得好不快意。

这时,曹国舅突然用手指向右边,并高声喊道:

“大家看啊!那里有座海市蜃楼!”

大家转头一看,只见一座仙山渐渐地从海里升起,山上有树木,有楼房,一会儿就升到半空中,慢慢地变成天边的浮云,一转眼,那浮云又被风吹散了。

韩湘子说:“我们真是眼福不浅!蜃气是海里蛟龙嘘出来的气体 ,百年难得一见啊!”

突然 ,蓝采和从他们当中消失了。大家远近观望,一边找一边喊,可就是不见蓝采和的踪迹,张果老猜说:

“可能是东海龙王作怪,他不欢迎我们在他的海上大显神通,把蓝采和抓到龙宫去了,走 我们一起到龙宫要人去!”

大家来到龙宫,婉言请求龙王放人。龙王蛮不讲理,不但不肯,还派自己的几个儿子带领虾兵蟹将追杀八仙。八仙只得用随身的法宝当武器,抵抗虾兵蟹将,经过一场激烈的战斗之后,龙王的两个太子被八仙杀死了。

龙王一听,自己的两个儿子被八仙杀了,真是悲愤至极,商请南海、西海、北海龙王来帮忙。龙王的不依不饶,把八仙也给惹火了。铁拐李用酒葫芦把海水吸光,其余几位仙人将泰山搬了过来,往东海一扔,东海立刻变成了一座高 。

双方打得天昏地暗,日月无光,把太上老君、如来佛和观世音也惊动了,他们全都赶来调解。调解的结果是,由蓝采和送东海龙王两片玉版,作为杀两位太子的补偿泰山则由观世音负责搬回原处。

因为这一场纠纷,八仙被玉皇大帝降级一等。从此,八仙再也不敢到外面惹是生非了。

When asked about their opinion of career and family, people always respond differently. Some people deem it more important to pursue their career, while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in one’s life.

It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life. In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on. Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted. What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on. Most of the people earn their income from a job. On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit. Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life. In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family. Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.

In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other. Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better. Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.

在谈到自己的事业和家庭的意见要求,人总是有不同的反应。有些人认为这更重要的是追求自己的事业,而总有那么谁认为家庭应该是一个人的生活的人数1人。

毫无疑问,任何事业在我们生活中起着关键作用。在第一个地方,可以给我们一个职业生涯的目标是生活。没有职业生涯中,大部分时间我们的生活一定会被浪费。更重要的是,职业生涯可以提供一种手段,对我们的生活。大多数人从工作中赚取的收入。另一方面,家庭也是生活中不可缺少的一部分,因为很多人会承认。家庭一直被认为是一个地方,我们可以摆脱生活中的麻烦。此外,我们可以得到一个属于家庭的感觉。没有它,人会感到孤独和绝望。

在我看来,职业和家庭是不反对对方。相反,它们可以加强彼此,使自己的生活能够越来越好。因此,它不是对与错之间的选择,但理想和现实之间的一个。

play a specific instrument but to learn how to read and listen to music as an

art form. We read the stories about the lives of many composers and the history

of the musical instruments themselves. Sometimes we listened to tapes at the

language laboratory, or concerts. Music is sometimes called a universal

language. A composer who cannot speak a single word of our language can make us

feel joy and pride, exaltation and despair, peace and mystery through his

篇20:圣诞节英语作文及翻译

全文共 1882 字

Christmas, annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ。 Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25, and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well。 Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6, when they celebrate Epiphany, a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus。 Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem (near Jerusalem, Israel), where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh。 The official Christmas season, popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas, extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6。  Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew (see Matthew 1:18—2:12) and the Gospel according to Luke (see Luke 1:26—56)。 Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas, then known as the Feast of the Nativity, as early as 336 ad。 The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse, meaning festival of Christ。 Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century。 The X stands for the Greek letter chi, an abbreviation of Khristos (Christ), and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified。

12月25日,是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子,称为圣诞节。从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间,各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日,由于人们格外重视,它便成为一个全民性的节日,是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日,可以和新年相提并论,类似我国过春节。西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色,圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品,用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花,还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人,他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前,要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子,等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。在西方,扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。
