English is one of my best subjects and I started learning English when I

was ten years old. But at the very beginning, listening seemed a little

difficult for me. So I have been doing a lot of listening practice, such as

listening to tapes, watching English TV programs. And I found it really helped a

lot. In fact, there are some more helpful ways to learn English well. For

example, I enjoy singing English songs and I want to join an English club or

find a pen pal from English-speaking countries. I believe that nothing is

impossible if you put your heart into it。

say how much they love their children, my father just keep quiet. He barely says

sweet words to me. But he will never miss every important moment for me, like

the performance in school. He is always one of the audience and watch my

performance. My father tells me to study with passion and he sets the good

example for me, because he loves his work. Sometimes he shows me his design of

work, and I admire him. I know my father loves me so much. Though he doesnt

talk much, he will be right by my side whenever I need him.

Not until I arrived at home after watching the movie ”Peddington Bear” with my family when a feeling of warmth and strength suddenly came to me. It’s about love, it’s about family.

The plot of the movie is really simple, even predictable and a little bit cliche. However, it’s so rare for me to meet such a snug film. Maybe there’s some resonance between the core topic ---- family and myself, or, it’s just relaxing and touching, depending on how you look at it.

The film has little input and obvious theme (dream, kindness, tolerance, trust, and love... Americans love that!), and you can even see it as an advertising video made by the U.K. Government! But, things always act like that---- the simpler the emotion is, the easier we forget. The film has it’s meaning to arouse something ignored by us. And treasure everyone, everything you have.

You can either imagine family as a gasoline station, or the safest harbor. Family won’t mind your lose, your excuse, your fault, it will give you a hand, and ask you to have a rest. Family is the most supportive one behind you, forever and always.

Good luck to everyone!

+ 加入清单

1、离开我就别安慰我,要知道每一次缝补也会遭遇穿刺的痛。

If you leave me, please dont comfort me because each sewing has to meet stinging pain.

2、在我们生命中出现的人,一些给我们上课,一些让我们痊愈,有的用来分担分享,有的用来真爱。

Among those people that appear in our life, some are to teach us, some to comfort us, some to share and some to love.

3、所谓情话,就是你说了一些连自己都不相信的话,却希望对方相信。

The so-called love word is that you say something that you would not believe by yourself, but you hope others would believe.

4、一段不被接受的爱情,需要的不是伤心,而是时间,一段可以用来遗忘的时间。一颗被深深伤了的心,需要的不是同情,而是明白。

An unacceptable love needs no sorrow but time- sometime for forgetting. A badly-hurt heart needs no sympathy but understanding.

5、偶尔要回头看看,否则永远都在追寻,而不知道自己失去了什么。

Sometimes you need to look back, otherwise you will never know what you have lost in the way of forever searching.

6、生命最大的恐惧,不过是来自于心底那个不去发现的黑暗,但是灵魂告诉我们,只要还有心跳,就一定有勇气。

The most fearful thing in the life is the darkness deep in your heart. But soul told us that you shall have courage as long as the heartbeats.

7、人都是会改变的,有些人选择改变环境,有些人选择被环境改变。很多时候你无法改变的时候,我只好选择,在里面找到让自己快乐的力量。

People will always change. Some choose to change the environment; some choose to be changed by the environment. Most of the time when you cannot change, you have to choose to find something to make yourself happy.

8、寂寞确实跟孤单不一样,孤单只表示身边没有别人,但寂寞是一种你无法将感受跟别人沟通或分享的心理状态。而真正的寂寞应该是连自己都忘了喜欢一个人的感觉。

Loneliness is different from being alone. Being alone means you just have no one beside you but loneliness means that you can not talk with others and share them with your feelings. And the true loneliness is that you even forget how it feels when you love someone.

9、两人相爱是,渴求无限甜蜜的吻。但为何在争吵时,却要用接吻的嘴互相伤害呢?每当我忧郁困惑,疲惫不堪时,我只能给自己一个吻。

When two people are in love, they are eager to have more sweet kisses. But why they are in quarrel, they are hurting each other by the mouths that once used for kissing? Every time when I was upset or tired, I can only kiss by myself.

10、举得起放得下的叫举重,举得起放不下的叫负重。可惜,大多数人的爱情,都是负重的。

If you can hold something up and put it down, it is called weight-lifting; if you can hold something up but can never put it down, its called burden-bearing. Pitifully, most of people are bearing heavy burdens when they are in love.

环卫工人是我们城市的舒适环境的创造者,他们让整个城市变得干净和美丽。他们应该得到我们的尊敬。下面,小编整理了几篇关于环卫工人的英语作文,以供大家参考。

关于环卫工人的英文作文一

Each time I feel very emotional after reading the news about bad or unfair treatment towards city hygiene workers. On one hand, they have to suffer the poor working environment; on the other hand, they do not earn the respect from the society or public. It is a very sad fact in China, which is a wake-up call for us to face the situation in good manner. In my opinion, the education background differences outweigh other factors. People who are not well educated do not see the hardwork and uneasy life of those city beauty workers. All they care is their own feelings and interest. Moreover, if we do not appreciate or cherish others devotion to the city, the city as a mirror will reflect its bad side towards ourselves. Therefore, the public need to learn to respect and behave properly such as not throw about the garbage. In addition, the government should also make its efforts to improve the treatment of those sanitation workers as well as set up a good example in the public.

关于环卫工人的英文作文二

To be a sanitation worker can never be considered as a decent job in peoples eyes, especially in China. A story of Sanmao, a Taiwanese author, described that she wanted to be a garbabge collector and she wrote this in her homework in her elementary school but teasing and objection came from her teacher and classmates. There is nothing wrong about a childish girls idea, and she thought that job could provide the most freedom. But this reflect the obvious discrimination. However, there is a dustman in my department. Everyone says hello, chats, jokes, and respects him as respect any other professors and students because people dont see differences between jobs.

关于环卫工人的英文作文三

He comes home to his wife and daughter at dinner time.This is the happiest time of his day.He loves his family and they love him.He is a very happy man.

关于环卫工人的英文作文四

In cold winter, people are warming up near the fireplace at home, while sanitation workers are cleaning the broken branches and falling leaves. Usually sanitation workers have always been very hard, plus cruel and merciless wind and snow will be cut off branches and leaves on the roadside, the road, the sidewalk ... everywhere, sanitation can be miserable. They took the knife to cut off the branches, took the shovel to shovel branches and leaves, and take the broom sweeping, tired in the cold weather sweating profusely, the cold wind did not feel cold, they forget the tiredness and cold. In such a cold weather, sanitation workers have cleaned up our Fuzhou streets and won peoples respect. We should learn from sanitation workers and learn from their hard-working and optimistic spirit. In extraordinary positions, to make extraordinary things, although their own dirty, but Fuzhou city has become more beautiful. When people see such a clean street, they think of sanitation workers as the hardest people and the loveliest people.

篇12:同情心的英文作文

全文共 5066 字

+ 加入清单

Weve all heard the quote, Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

我们都听过这句话:“要善良,因为你遇到的每个人都在经历某种痛苦。”

My husband and son died within two years of each other. From my personal experience, I believe that if we arent careful, grief can become a rather self-involved process in which we can become so focused on our own suffering that we miss the opportunity to connect with, and possibly bring comfort to, someone else who may be going through a similar experience.

我的丈夫和儿子两年内相继去世。从我的个人经验来看,我相信我们一不小心就会被伤痛左右,以自己为中心,我们会变得过于关注自己的痛苦,而错失和正经历相似痛苦的人接触的机会,也无法给予他们安慰。

Six months after my husband died, I was sinking in the quicksand of grief. I could not pull myself out of the misery.

我丈夫去世的后六个月,我陷入悲痛不能自拔,无法走出不幸的阴影。

In that moment, I actually believed that my life was more difficult than anyone else around me. Life handed me a perfectly wrapped lesson that opened my eyes to the fact that through my suffering I had allowed myself to become blinded by my self-pity.

那时,我真的认为自己的生活要比身边任何人都不容易。生活给我上了完美的一课,通过这次不幸我认清了一个事实:顾影自怜使我看不到别人,只看到自己。

The lesson presented itself in a health crisis. I had complications from a surgical procedure and ended up being hospitalized for four days. I was in an extreme amount of pain during this time. Between the physical pain and the emotional pain of grief, I was an absolute mess.

我在健康出现问题时吸取了这个教训。我的外科手术引发了并发症,最终住院4天。那段时期我极其痛苦,身体的疼痛和精神上的伤痛把我夹在中间,我的生活一团糟。

I should also tell you that I am a Registered Nurse. As a nurse, it is hard to be on the receiving end of medicine as the patient.

我也应该告诉你我是一名注册护士。对护士而言,很难接受自己成为病人并进行药物治疗这种事。

The first three nights that I was in the hospital, the same nurse took care of me. She was young, maybe in her mid to late 20s, and she hardly interacted with me at all the first two nights, other than to give my medications as scheduled. She obviously had no idea how much emotional pain I was in. How hard is it to ask your patient how shes feeling? I wrote her off as a bad nurse who had little empathy, and remained absorbed in my own emotional and physical pain.

住院的前三个晚上同一位护士护理我。她挺年轻,可能快30岁。头两个晚上几乎不怎么跟我说话,除了定期来给我送药。很明显她不知道我精神上有多痛苦。问问你的病人感觉怎么样能有多难?我认定她是不合格的护士,缺乏同情心,而且我依然沉浸在自己精神和身体的痛苦中。

The third night the young nurse was a little more talkative. She asked me how I was feeling (finally!). I told her that I was struggling with depression and grief because my husband had died in an airplane accident.

第三天晚上这个年轻的护士开始打开了话匣子,她问我感觉怎样(终于问了!)。我告诉她我正挣扎于沮丧和痛苦之中,因为我丈夫死于一场飞机事故。

She looked at me and told me that her husband had died too, just two months earlier. I was stunned. Speechless. Shocked.

她看着我,跟我说她丈夫就在两个月前刚刚去世。我有点不知所措,说不出话,我被惊到了!

Never, in any of the possibilities that my mind entertained of why this nurse was so stand-offish with me, did I even consider that she might be in the same pain I was. Not only was she grieving as I was, but she was having to take care of me, instead of caring for herself and her family.

我从未想过她对我如此冷淡会是因为这个,我甚至都没想过她可能会有同样的痛苦。她不仅和我一样悲痛,而且还要照顾我,而不是照顾她自己和家人。

We went on to talk and share our stories about our late husbands and children. I like to think that we helped each other a bit that night.

我们继续讨论分享我们丈夫和孩子的事,我觉着我们那天晚上都给了彼此一点帮助。

We had much more in common than I would have believed. We were both widowed single moms with young children, and nurses. But, that was where the similarities ended. Her husband had no insurance policy. She had very little family support. She was working paycheck to paycheck to support her boys. I was humbled. I realized how much I had to be grateful for. And, frankly, I never saw life the same way after this experience.

我们之间的共同点比我想的要多,我们都成了单亲妈妈,孩子都还小,而且都是护士。但也就这些了,她丈夫没有保险,家里经济来源很少,她就靠着一点工资养活家里的男孩儿们。我觉着自愧不如,我意识到自己该有多知足。坦白说,这次经历改变了我对生活的看法。

This experience was a life-changing event for me. I had always prided myself on being an empathetic person, but I realize now that I had not really understood what being empathetic meant.

这次的经历改变了我的生活,之前我总是对自己的同情心引以为傲,但现在我意识到了我根本没理解同情的真谛。

To truly be empathetic, you must be able to see beyond your own pain to be witness to the pain. I never looked at another person in the same way after this experience.

想要具备真正的同情心,你的眼光必须超越你自己的伤痛,以局外人的角度看待自己的痛苦。从那之后,我看待别人的眼光也不一样了。

The cashier checking me out at the grocery store who seemed rude and in a hurry? Who knows what was going on in his day, week, life? Maybe he recently lost a spouse or a child. Maybe he has experienced compounded losses. I had no way of knowing what this man was going through. Who was I to judge him?

杂货店的收银员结账时有点粗鲁,好像还很着急?谁知道他今天、或者这周、或者这一生发生了什么呢?可能他最近失去了爱人或孩子,可能他蒙受了很多损失,我无法知晓他经历了什么。我是谁呀,怎么能去评判他呢?

I thank death for very few things. The gift of empathy for my fellow man, and understanding that we all suffer in ways that arent always visible, are presents from death that I will always be grateful for.

有些事情我要感谢死亡,它教会了我同情身边人,使我知道了我们都经受着某种痛苦,而有些是别人看不到的。这些都是死亡馈赠给我的,我会永远心存感激。

Always take the time to be kind. Even when youre suffering with your own pain. And dont assume that someone else has it easier than you. You never know the battles someone else is fighting.

你一定要花时间去践行善行,甚至在你自己遭受痛苦的时候也要如此。不要假定别人比你的生活更容易,你永远不会知道别人正在挣扎着什么。

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival  the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It  sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by Englh speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; th day  called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve  known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year  the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year  itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year  a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year  considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (Tt), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year  also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year  not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service sues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It  also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper  a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by whing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition  a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wh peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.

篇14:温斯顿·丘吉尔:生活侧记-名人传记英文故事

全文共 4543 字

+ 加入清单

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲,温斯顿·丘吉尔,在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画,当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年,任海军大臣的他,积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中,这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败,伤亡惨重,丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说:“我想他会痛苦而死,”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿,丘吉尔后来回忆道,“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我!”

一天他在花园散步时,偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟,然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法!

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来,克莱门廷非常开心,她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而,迈出下一步似乎有些困难,因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起,后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调,然后以万分的小心,在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时,传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀!’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢?给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅,她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨,在调色板上龙飞凤舞,接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时,约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居,也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生,拉威利说:“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政,我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中,丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后,在1921年,母亲刚去世两个月,他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德,这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下,温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰,用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说:“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流,背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉,达克迪莉(玛丽戈尔德的昵称)使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年,也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间,称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上,他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊,是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人,但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中,大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说:“画家其乐融融,因为他们不会孤独。光与色,和平与希望,会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。
