高二关于雾霾的英语作文汇总20篇

When it comes to haze, I believe many people hate it to the bone and sigh

when talking about it. No, just a few sunny days, Monday morning gave us a big

"surprise".

In the morning, as soon as I stepped out of the door, I was stunned by the

scene in front of me: the sky seemed to be covered by a gray cloth, and the

pedestrians, roadside plants and cars on the road were also dyed gray.

Everything is covered with a layer of ash. Walking on the street, the visibility

is less than 100 meters. Under the influence of haze, the original clear scene

becomes extremely blurred. Even the bright colors of the traffic lights seem to

be in a trance.

At school, the situation has not changed, and low temperature is of no use.

The red flag is flying in the middle of the air. The soft and beautiful

movements are slightly slow due to the influence of the dust around. Because in

haze days, many small particles will be inhaled, and the oxygen content in the

air will be reduced, which is not suitable for sports, so the physical education

class in the morning has also been cancelled. I dont know if I should be happy

or worried.

Haze days, its really annoying!

there are gains for all our losses,

there are balms for all our pain;

but when youth, the dream, departs

it takes something from our hearts,

and it never comes again.

we are stronger, and are better,

under manhood’s sterner reign;

still we feel that something sweet

followed youth, with flying feet,

and will never come again.

something beautiful is vanished,

and we sigh for it in vain;

we behold it everywhere,

on the earth, and in the air,

but it never comes again!

Dear David,

Im glad to receive your letter. I have learned from your letter that you are concerned about the smog which frequently appears in some areas of China. Thank you for your concern. Im also very worried about such terrible weather because it has brought much inconvenience or rather harm to peoples health such as traffic jam, road accidents, bad coughs, throat hurts and ever lung cancers and so on.

As everybody knows, a good environment comes from good protection. So we should do what we can to make a difference. Try to drive less and choose air-friendly products. Only when everyone has the environmental awareness can we have cleaner air.

Hoping to hear from you soon and share your good ideas.

One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money.So he was sent to hell.But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan),so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well,Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip,hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside.And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla.The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night.Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事.是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人,因为他对钱特别的吝啬,就不允许他进入天堂,而被打入地狱.但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦,所以被踢出地狱,罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走.

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”,他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛.为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节,孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物.这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”,缩写为Jack-o-lantern .

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚.

Last year, I went to Guilin for travel, it was a great trip for me. I not

only had a look at the beautiful scenery, but also made friends. I knew a lovely

girl from America, we met each other on the train. As we were almost at the same

age, we communicated a lot. We shared our opinion about the culture and learned

a lot. When our train reached the destination, we needed to separate, we

promised to keep in touch by the Internet. Now a year has passed, we make our

promise and keep in touch all the time. I have improved my English and she is so

interested in China. It seems that we can never finish our topic, because we

always have so much to share with each other. I am so lucky to make a good

Foggy in the morning, I found that the outside, lianshan look not clear, the sun is hiding in bed lazily would not wake up, the visibility is very low. And turn on the TV, the news said in this matter, so this a few days in nanjing, anhui and other regions of schools have stopped becauseHazeweather, hangzhou also let students stopped all outdoor activities, we also carry out a mask?

I ran to ask mom, its strange, my mother told me: "when people talk of fog is actually composed of fog and haze of these two kinds of weather, looks like the dense fog fog weather, but in fact there is a big difference. The fog is formed by the ground water vapor condensation in the air, while haze because very small dust particles in the air, sand particles, virus particles such as evenly suspended in the air, they are intertwined haze weather. The weather is very large, the harm of human body if we inhalation of the bacteria, viruses, and it is easy to get sick, serious word will kill."

As far as I know, are made by automobile exhaust fog weather, air pollution emissions from factories and other secondary pollution, so we are now in addition to reducing the outdoors, drink water more, more should protect the environment, to take care of our home, let haze weather is far from us.

早上，我发现外面雾蒙蒙的，连山都看不清楚，太阳也懒洋洋地躲在被窝里不肯起床，能见度非常低。打开电视，新闻里也都在说这个事情，原来这几天南京，安徽等地区的学校都因为雾霾天气停了课，杭州也让学生停止了所有的户外活动，大家外出还都带上了口罩呢。

我很奇怪，就跑去问妈妈，妈妈告诉我：“通常人们说的雾霾实际上是由雾和霾这两种天气组成的，雾霾天气看起来像起了大雾一样，但实际上有很大的区别。大雾是由地面空气中的水汽凝结形成的，而霾则是因为空气中极细微的灰尘颗粒，细沙颗粒，病毒颗粒等均匀地悬浮在空气中，他们交织在一起就是雾霾天气。这种天气对人体的危害非常大，我们如果吸入了这些细菌，病毒，就很容易生病，严重的话还会致死。”

据我所知，雾霾天气都是由汽车尾气，工厂排放出的废气等二次污染造成的，所以我们现在除了要减少户外活动，多喝开水之外，更应该保护环境，爱护我们的家园，让雾霾天气远离我们。

England is a nation in northwest Europe and the largest and most populous constituent country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total population of the United Kingdom, whilst the mainland territory of England occupies most of the southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain and shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. Elsewhere, it is bordered by the North Sea, Irish Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and English Channel.

I grew up in a small village. I am the second child of the family, and my sister is the eldest. Our house is on the main street of the village so I always saw a lot of people on the streets There were farmers, fishermen, and a few merchants in the village. My sister and I used to play with the next-door children; their father is an elementary school teacher. Sometimes when we played together in the house we made so much noise that my mother wanted us to play outside, so we went to the seashore to look for crabs and clams, and pretty seashells, too. Also, we enjoyed running on the beach chasing each other. On breezy days we used to enjoy flying kites on the beach. When I look back on my early life in the village, I feel I had a happy childhood.

Beijings air pollution reached dangerous levels yet again on Sunday, marking the third consecutive day of severe smog, municipal environmental authorities said。北京市环保部门称，北京空气污染在上周日再次达到危险的水平。持续三天的严重雾霾天气给北京带来了严重的空气污染。

The municipal meteorological station issued the citys first orange fog warning Sunday morning due to decreased visibility caused by the heavy smog. Monitoring data released on Sunday showed that air quality indexes in most regions of Beijing had hit 500, the indexes highest level。北京市环保部门在周日上午发布了北京气象史上首个霾橙色预警，浓雾笼罩的北京市能见度非常低。周日发布的监控数据显示，北京大部分地区的空气质量指数均达到了极值500.

"Beijing implemented its emergency response plan for hazardous pollution for the first time on Sunday," said Yu Jianhua, director of the air quality department under the municipal environmental protection bureau. The plan, issued last year, includes multiple measures to combat and respond to hazardous levels of air pollution。北京市环保局大气处处长于建华表示：“北京在周日首次启动了应对严重污染的应急方案。” 该应急方案于去年发布，规定应对严重级别空气污染的多项措施。

The plan calls for construction sites to limit construction activity that creates large amounts of dust, as well as asks industrial enterprises to reduce emissions, during hazardous pollution days。该应急方案规定，严重污染日时，建筑施工工地应减少产生大量灰尘的施工行为，并要求工业企业减少排放。

The plan also requires municipal traffic authorities to limit government vehicle usage during smoggy days, with the goal of reducing such usage by 30 percent compared to normal days。方案还要求市政交通部门在浓雾天气采用临时交通管制，限制政府车辆的使用，目标是减少正常日中30%的车辆。

The plan also calls for education authorities to instruct schools to limit or completely stop outdoor activity during periods of heavy air pollution。方案另外要求教育部门指示学校等在严重空气污染期间减少或完全终止户外活动。

The municipal environmental monitoring center said readings for PM2.5, or airborne particles measuring less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, had reached more than 700 micrograms per square meter at several monitoring stations in Beijing, reaching as high as 993 Saturday evening。北京市环境检测中心表示，在北京市的几个监测站，PM2.5的浓度检测结果(即大气中直径小于或等于2.5微米的颗粒物)达到了每立方米700微克以上，周六晚间更是高达993微克。

"These figures represent extremely bad pollution. Pollutants have gradually accumulated over the course of recent windless days, making the air quality even worse," said Zhu Tong, a professor from the college of environmental sciences and engineering at Peking University。北京大学环境科学与工程学院教授朱彤说：“这些数值意味着非常严重、可怕的污染，目前北京无风静稳，新排放的污染物还在不断累积，空气质量更糟。”

Beijing until Wednesday, when wind will arrive to blow the smog away, according to a weather report from the meteorological station。根据北京气象站的天气预报，严重空气污染将持续影响北京至周三即1月16日，周三将有一股冷空气抵到北京吹散雾霾。

There have been a lot of ways of acquiring knowledge. And the number is

increasing unexpectedly owing to the popularization of modern mass media.

However, reading books has always been the major and convenient approach to

knowledge. One may acquire most of his knowledge through reading books, since

they can be carried easily and read leisurely everywhere at any time. Another

equally important means of acquiring knowledge is through practice, especially

learning from others. It is unlikely for a person to get all-round knowledge by

merely reading books. As a matter of fact, genuine knowledge comes from

practice.

Although books and practice are indispensable to the enrichment of one’s

knowledge, other means shouldn’t be turned aside. With the development of IT

industry, people tend to hunt for knowledge by means of Internet. Internet is

changing people’s traditional approaches to knowledge. It has found its way into

every field of the world.

What is honesty? Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and

upright in act.Considered a virtue,it is admired in every country and every

culture.So,Is it necessary to be honest all the time .

However,there are people who try to get benefits by dishonest means.

For example,some students copy the exercises done by others or cheat in

examinations in order to get good marks. The same thing may be said of a

merchant who tries to get rich by deceving customers. Those people may succeed

for a time,but sooner or later,they will be caught.

How can cheating on exams be prevented? The measures may vary from case to

case.But I think,the students must first be well informes of the negative effect

on the learning atmosphere of the university and the studentscharacter. Then

the students who were caught in the act of cheating can be criticizedpublicly,

punished or even expelled from the university.

Chinese First Spaceman

When I was in high school, one day, my Chinese teacher was so excited to tell us that our country’s first spaceman had landed the space successfully. Hearing the news, all the students felt excited, too, we were so proud that we were Chinese, it meant that our country had stepped into the new stage. Chinese first spaceman was Yang Liwei, at that time, all the news was talking about him, they watched him flied to the space and then came back safely. I did not have the chance to witness the process, because I had class at that time, but I was thinking about it all the time. Now many years have passed, more and more Chinese spacemen have flied to the space successfully, every time I will feel very excited, I am so happy to see our country become stronger.

当我上高中的时候，有一天，我的语文老师很兴奋地告诉我们我国的第一个宇航员已经成功地登上了外太空。听到这个消息，所有的学生都感到很兴奋，我们为自己是中国人而感到自豪，这意味着我们的国家已经进入了新的阶段。中国的第一个宇航员叫杨利伟，在那个时候，所有的新闻都是报道了他，人们观看了他登上太空并安全返回的过程。我没有机会目睹整个过程，因为我当时有课，但是我一直在想着这件事。如今很多年过去了，越来越多的中国宇航员成功登上了太空，每一次我都会感到很兴奋，我很高兴看到我们国家变得强大。

With big eyes， there is an emergency ears like flying up to now。 You guess what？ Let me guess， is the rabbit。

A rabbits eyes like ruby， of course， I also gave a name to my rabbit called ruby。 Because the rabbit eyes glistened like ruby。

眼睛大大的，有紧急情况耳朵像飞的一样竖起来了。大家猜猜是什么？猜不到吧，就是兔子。

兔子的眼睛像红宝石一样，当然，我也给我的兔子起了一个名字叫红宝石。因为兔子的眼睛像红宝石一样亮晶晶的。

记得有一次，妈妈带我去散步，我带着我的红宝石来到了公园。红宝石想起了它多年的家，由于红宝石是在公园里长大的，但是他的爸爸妈妈却消失得无影无踪，我也知道兔子很可怜，但是我也没有找到它的亲人。兔子很快就竖起耳朵跑了起来，可能是伤心了，我追了很久才追到。

这就是我最喜欢的小动物。聪明、可爱的红宝石。

When we are feeling sick and lying in bed, is parents will take care of us; When we test sent, it is parents encourage us; When we made a mistake, it is the parents education in the us to correct our mistakes...

Thank my parents when I was frustrated, encouraged me, comfort me, give me courage, let me set up confidence to face the difficulties bravely. Remember a math test, I only got eighty points. I returned home, sadly homework also do bad, eat not sweet. Mom saw my abnormal, kindly ask me why sat by my side. I YiWuYiShiBa exam told his mother the truth, I didnt expect that my mother did not criticize me, instead, comfort I said: "good kid, a failure is not equal to yourself is not good, do you want to analysis the reason, well know where mistakes, this is progress." Listen to the mother, I feel much more relaxed.

Have words to say well "who made the heart-inch grass, at a three chunhui". Therefore, in order to repay hard raising my parents, I must study hard now, when I grow up, find a good job, let parents abetted. Parents paid for me, I will thank you ten times, one hundred times, return them, let them give valuable.

当我们生病卧床不起时，是父母在无微不至地照顾着我们;当我们考试考差了，是父母的鼓励着我们;当我们犯了错误，是父母的教育着我们改正错误......

感谢父母在我受到挫折时，鼓励我、安慰我、给我勇气，让我树立自信勇敢地去面对困难。记得一次数学测验，我只考了八十多分。我垂头丧气地回到家，作业也做不好，饭吃不香。妈妈看见我的反常，坐在我的身边和蔼地问我原因。我一五一十把考试的实情告诉了妈妈，令我没想到的是妈妈不但没有批评我，反而安慰我说：“好孩子，一次失败不等于自己就不优秀了，你要好好地分析原因，知道错误到哪里，这就是进步。”听了妈妈的话，我的心情一下子轻松多了。

有一句话说得好“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”。因此，为了报答辛苦养育我的父母，我现在一定要好好学习，长大后，找一个好的工作，让父母安享晚年。父母为我付出的，我将十倍、百倍的感谢、回报他们，让他们的付出有价值。

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. Whenever I encounter difficulties， her eyes will encourage me and help me cheer up. When I began learning to walk， mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to stand up while I fell down.

我的母亲有一双敏锐的、会说话的眼睛。每当我遇到困难的时候，她的眼睛总是鼓励我，帮我振作起来。在我开始学走路时，母亲总是帮助我，鼓励我站起来，我摔倒了。

As I finally threw myself into her arms， her eyes Smiled with praise. Aftei I entered the school， mothers eyes still encouraged me.

最后我晃晃悠悠扑到她的怀里，她的双眼充满了赞扬。我长大上学后，母亲的眼睛仍旧鼓励我。

Once I failed my Chinese exam， my mother helped me find out the reasons instead of blaming me. Now I have grown up and become more independent， but whenever I come across setbacks， my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

一旦我语文考试不及格，妈妈帮我找出原因而责备我。现在我已经长大了，变得更加独立，但每当我遇到挫折时，母亲的眼睛总是伴随着我，给我鼓励。

Freedom for many children is the coming day when they could improve myself

in their own way to use my 24 hours. They can study language by watching film

instead of working on boring grammar and multiple choices. Boys and girls can

have enough time to do sports to keep health not going on a diet as a result of

junk food and a lack of sports caused by too much homework.

Freedom is as simple as my playing piano all night without worrying about

disturbing my 14-year-old neighbour who has to go to school the next day for my

house is specially made.

It also could be freedom in my dream that one day, political democracy

becomes true. Freedom in my life is the name of all kindness and happiness.

People have common desire under the sun. For mankind, freedom commonly

means respect, love, blessing and dignity. For some people, freedom is that some

day, he can give up his own interests to guarantee others’ rights. It is no

wonder that so many people fought for freedom even didn’t hesitate to give up

their lives when necessary .

I would like to be a freedom fighter for human rights some day in

future.

Everyone has a family. We live in it and feel very warm. There are three persons in my family my mother father and I. We live together very happily and there are many interesting stories about my family.

My father is a hard-working man. He works as a doctor. He always tries his best to help every patient and make patients comfortable. But sonetimes he works so hard that he can’t remember the date.

My mother is a woman with a bad memory. She always does a lot of housework but sometimes she makes mistakes out of carelessness. For example one day she washed clothes in the washer after the washer finished the work she found she hadn’t filled the washer with water.

Now let me tell you a funny thing: one day father wanted to get up early as usual buthe wasn’t able to do that because he hadn’t set the alarm clock the night before so when he got up he did everything in a hurry. After father left mother said to me mysteriously "He will come back soon." "Why?" I was greatly surprised. "Because today is Sunday his holiday!" Just as mother said father came back home soon and went to bed again--he was too tired.

You see what an interesting family have! I hope that you will have one like mine too.

每个人都有一个家庭。我们生活在这感觉很温暖。有三个人在我的家庭我的父亲和我的母亲我们在一起幸福地生活有许多有趣的故事我的家人。

我的父亲是一个勤劳的人。他是一名医生。他总是尽力帮助每一个病人让病人舒适。但有时他工作非常努力他不记得日期。

我母亲是一个女人与一个坏的记忆。她总是做很多家务活但有时她犯错误粗心大意。例如有一天她在洗衣机洗衣服洗衣机完成工作后她发现她没有洗衣机装满了水。

现在让我告诉你一件有趣的事:一天爸爸照常想早起可是他没能做到这一点因为他前一天晚上没有设置闹钟所以当他站了起来他所做的一切。爸爸离开后妈妈神秘地对我说:“他很快就会回来。”“为什么?“我非常惊讶。“因为今天是星期天他的假日。“就像母亲说父亲回到家不久又上床睡觉他太累了。

你瞧多么有趣的家庭!我希望你能有一个喜欢我的。

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mothers day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天， 年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟， 这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mothers day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parentsback door.

她那天早上给母亲打去电话， 祝母亲节日愉快。随后， 她的母亲向她提起， 因为春天已经来临， 所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿， 年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. i know where we can find you all you want, he said. get the kids and cmon.

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

后来， 她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时， 他突然从椅子上跃起。我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西， 他说， 带上孩子， 走吧。

于是， 他们就出发了， 驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上， 那种天气只有5月中旬才会有：闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿过废弃的苹果园， 来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasnt a lilac bush in sight.

come with me , the man said. over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebodys farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. im sure he wont mind if we pick a few lilacs.

他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。

随我来， 那个男人说， 翻过那座小山， 有个老地窖， 几年前是一个人的农场， 四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信， 要是我们采几束紫丁香， 他不会介意。

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

还没等他们到达半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是， 孩子们开始奔跑。不久， 那位母亲也开始跑起来， 直至到达山顶。

那里， 远离了过往司机的视野， 避开了纷扰的文明世界， 高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束， 几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛， 把脸埋在鲜花中， 啜饮着芳香， 陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husbands pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure. finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿， 那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝， 那儿挑一束， 然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙， 像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。

然而， 他们终于还是返回了汽车， 走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停， 那个男人驾着车， 那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑， 她周围放满了鲜花， 眼睛里充满着向往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, stop the car. stop right here! the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

当他们离家不足3英里时， 她突然向丈夫大声喊道：停车， 就在这里停车!

那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么， 女人就已经下了车， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院， 因为这是一个美丽的春日， 所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头， 只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里， 独自一人， 低着头， 背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆， 将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头， 露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿， 都兴高采烈。随后， 那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时， 坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手， 手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。

mom, the kids asked, who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebodys mother?the mother said she didnt know the old woman. but it was mothers day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldnt be cheered by flowers?besides, she added, i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did.

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

妈妈， 孩子们问， 那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?他们的母亲说， 她不认识那个老太太， 但今天是母亲节， 她看起来是那么孤独， 而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。再说， 她补充道， 我拥有你们， 而且我还有自己的母亲， 即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。

孩子们得到了满意的答案， 但她的丈夫却没有。第二天， 他买了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后， 每隔一段时间， 他就会增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mothers day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old womans face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那个男人， 那个年轻母亲是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我们自家的院子都会散发出浓烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母亲节， 我们的孩子都要采撷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都会记起一位孤独的老太太脸上露出的笑容， 以及笑容里呈现出的那种慈祥。
