高二关于复活节的英语作文EasterDay汇集20篇

As it is known to us all, there are 55 minority groups in China, each with its traditional customs, costumes and culture. Now let’s take a look at the Tibetan Minority.

The Tibetan Minority group live in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan Province. And the highest ridge in the world─beautiful and mysterious Tibet is their major habitat .

As the fertilized prairie stretches around the habitants as far as the eyes can see, most people live on animal husbandry, raising sheep, goats, cattle and growing a special kind of plant called Qingke. On account of the unique climate, people often wear warm and comfortable boots in winter, and they are always dressed in delicate robes which are made of the fur of sheep. Often they take off one sleeve of the clothes and tie it around their waists in order to work easily and use it as warm quilts at night.

Both men and women there like wearing silver ornaments, which look very mysterious and full of magical power. And they are good at singing and dancing, and the men there can have braids too. When they meet an important guest, they will present him or her a Hada, a piece of long white silk cloth to show their respect. And they will also treat the guest to a special kind of drink called Suyou Tea, which some people find hard to enjoy.

Besides, the habitants have developed both their own written and spoken languages, and the long poems they wrote play an important role in Chinese literature. And there are many well-protected culture relics as well, taking the grand Budala Palace as an example. It is a historical museum as well as an art treasury, where people can share their spirit belief in Buddhism and get artistic entertainment of the carved paintings and the beautifully-written chirographies.

The Tibetan ethnic group is also famous for its strange custom in funeral. Thinking that the soul belongs to the sky after a person dies, they usually put the body on a platform outdoors, spray on it and wait the condors to come to eat the body. In this way, they believe the soul goes up to the sky.

The Tibetan Minority is brimming over with deep emotions. The people there are very zealous and hospitable and they live freely and happily on the spacious grassland. Their history and culture contribute to the diversity of China, so we certainly should protect them and get them popularized and let them receive great respect they deserve.

我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光! 我们仿佛身处一次横贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中! 乘着火车， 我们领略着窗外流动的景色：附近高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、平原与山谷、群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓， 以及乡间的庄园宅第!

but uppermost in our minds is the final destination. on a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. bands will be playing and flags waving. once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. how restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

"when we reach the station, that will be it! "we cry. "when im 18. ""when i buy a new 450sl mercedes benz! ""when i put the last kid through college. ""when i have paid off the mortgage!""when i get a promotion.""when i reach the age of retirement, i shall live happily ever after! "

然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地! 在某一天的某一时刻， 我们将会抵达进站! 迎接我们的将是乐队和飘舞的彩旗! 一旦到了那儿， 多少美梦将成为现实， 我们的生活也将变得完整， 如同一块理好了的拼图! 可是我们现在在过道里不耐烦地踱来踱去， 咒骂火车的拖拖拉拉! 我们期待着， 期待着， 期待着火车进站的那一刻!

"当我们到站的时候， 一切就都好了! "我们呼喊着! "当我18岁的时候! ""当我有了一辆新450sl奔驰的时候! ""当我供最小的孩子念完大学的时候! ""当我偿清贷款的时候! ""当我官升高任的时候! ""当我到了退休的时候， 就可以从此过上幸福的生活啦! "

sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. the true joy of life is the trip. the station is only a dream. it constantly outdistances us.

"relish the moment "is a good motto, especially when coupled with psalm 118：24："this is the day which the lord hath made;we will rejoice and be glad in it. "it isnt the burdens of today that drive men mad. it is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站， 也没有能够"一到永逸"的地方!生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程， 而车站不过是个梦， 它始终遥遥领先于我们!

"享受现在"是句很好的箴言， 尤其是当它与《圣经·诗篇》中第118页24行的一段话相映衬的时候， 更是如此："今日乃主所创造;生活在今日我们将欢欣、高兴! "真正令人发疯的不是今日的负担， 而是对昨日的悔恨及对明日的恐惧! 悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼， 将今天从你我身边偷走!

so stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. in stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. life must be lived as we go along. the station will come soon enough.

那么就不要在过道里徘徊吧， 别老惦记着你离车站还有多远! 何不换一种活法， 将更多的高山攀爬， 多吃点儿冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴， 经常光着脚板儿溜达溜达， 在更多的河流里畅游， 多看看夕阳西下， 多点欢笑哈哈， 少让泪水滴答! 生活得一边过一边瞧! 车站就会很快到达!

There is an old saying in China“people need face while the trees need skin”，the meaning is that Chinese people pay special attention on the dignity. Loving face is most people’s behavior, so they like to brag, they enjoy being adored by others. About the face problem, I think we should not take it serious, we are not living for other people, we are living for ourselves. The real self-esteem is from our hearts, not from other people. Chinese people like to brag, they brag about their property, hoping that people will respect him. The funny thing is that only the fake successful people will brag, the real one is silent, they keep working hard, the successful career supports their self-esteem. If we want people to respect us, we should show our reality, be nice to them, never brag about ourselves.

在中国有句老话“人要脸树要皮”，意思是中国人很注重尊严问题。爱面子是大多数人的习惯，他们喜欢吹嘘，享受被人崇拜。关于面子问题，我认为我们不应该把它看得很重，我们不是为别人而活，是为自己而活。真正的自尊是出于我们的内心，不是看别人。中国人喜欢吹牛，他们夸大自己的财产，希望人们尊重他们。有趣的是只有不成功的人才会吹牛，真正成功的人是沉默的，他们努力工作，事业的成功支撑着他们的自尊。如果我们想要别人尊重我们，我们应该展示我们真实的一面，对人友好，不要吹牛。

As a high school student, I am always confused about myself. I want to

catch other peoples attention, I think most girls will have such desire. So

when I see the girls look so beautiful, I am so longing to be one of them. I

start to lose my weight and try not to eat the delicious food. Whats more, I

boys look at me, I feel so happy. But in the long run, I feel lost, my friends

and I are not that close anymore. I cant focus attention on my study, then I

feel annoyed. I decide to give up losing weight and dressing beautiful clothes.

Everything is back on the track. I feel relieved and easy. This is the new me

and the real me.

When we meet difficulties, most of us will be feeling distressed, just like

the whole world is down and there is no hope for tomorrow. When we look back

after many years, the difficulties at that time are just small matters, only if

we can hold on to these. Life is wonderful, there is no need to let down on life

when we meet difficulties, like a popular song“How can we see the rainbow

without the storm”. Once I failed on the exam, I feel my world is over, I

couldn’t eat well, I just let my parents down, I was so guilty about it. My

teacher told me that the exam was not a big deal, I should forget it and kept

moving on. Since than, I work hard and trying to forget it. Now when I look back

on the failing exam, I think it is not a big deal.

I was born in an ordinary family, but the love my parents gave me made me

feel that I was the happiest girl in the world. Before I went to middle school,

my parents decided to let me live in the hometown, where I spent the good time.

I was surrounded by green trees and clean water. Every day, I would play funny

games with my friends. When I went to middle school, I left hometown and moved

to the city to live with my parents. I needed to focus my attention to study.

Every night, my father would check my homework and if I had questions, he would

help me to solve them. My mother always made delicious dessert for us. When I

finished homework, we ate them together and talked happily. I had the good time

The Easter we celebrate today is a combination1 of different traditions. Partly, it comes from old festivals2 to celebrate Spring. And partly it comes from the Christian celebration of the rebirth3 of Jesus Christ.Most people agree that the word "Easter" comes from the Anglo-Saxon4 Goddess Eastre, a symbol of Spring. It is easy to see how " Eastre timev" became " Easter time" .As a chief Christian festival, Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after

the first full moon after the 1st day of Spring. It can be as early as March 22, or as late as April 25! Many dates of the Christian5 calendar are dependent on Easter.The celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that have nothing to do with Christianity6. Of all the symbols associated7 with Easter, the egg, the symbol of richness8 and new life, is the most important. The customs and traditions of using eggs have been associated with Easter for centuries.Originally, Easter eggs were painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring and were used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. After they were colored and printed with various designs, the eggs were exchanged by lovers and romantic admirers. In the Middle Ages, eggs were traditionally given at Easter to the servants. In Germany, eggs were given to children along with other Easter gifts.

I think going to school on foot is good for us. First of all, walking to school is a wonderful way to exercise and it’s good for our health. Next, it’s fun to walk together with friends every day. We can talk about something interesting and know each other better. What’s more, if we walk, our parents won’t have to drive us to school. There will be fewer cars in the city. More walking and less driving help to make our city cleaner. The streets won’t be as crowded as they are now. I hope more and more students will go to school on foot.

我想步行上学对我们有好处。首先，走路上学是一种很好的锻炼方式，对我们的健康有好处。接下来，每天和朋友一起散步是很有趣的。我们可以谈论一些有趣的事情，并且彼此了解。如果我们走了，我们的父母不必开车送我们上学。城市里会有更少的汽车。更多的步行和更少的驾驶有助于使我们的城市更清洁。街上不会像现在一样拥挤。我希望越来越多的学生步行上学。

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of

parent aldiscip line even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have

to be governed by teachers in school and endure parents ramble at home. These

are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may

trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned

above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. Fore

xample, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them

gradually. Its hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age

that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence a

fflictsus a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts

of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us

from happiness.

Today, as the development of the medical, people can slow down their aging. As for the celebrities, they use the developed technology to keep young, seeing their unchangeable faces in the screen for so many years, the audience also want to imitate the celebrity, they believe that by using the developed technology, they can keep young all the time. While in my opinion, the way to keep young is to hold a young heart, some people look young outside, but in their hearts, they are old enough and refuse to keep pace with the time. While for another group, even they have wrinkles, they are curious about all the things and are willing to change. My grandpa is old, but he knows all the fashionable things, sometimes I have to ask him for the new things. The young heart is the way to keep young forever.

今天，随着医疗的发展，人们能够延缓衰老。对于名人来讲，他们使用高科技来保持年轻，看到他们常年在屏幕上保持不变的容颜，观众也想要模仿名人，他们相信通过使用高科技就能一直保持年轻。然而在我看来，保持年轻的方法就是拥有一颗年轻的心，一些人表面看起来年轻，但是在他们的心里，他们足够的老，并且拒绝去与时俱进。对于另外一些人来讲，虽然他们有皱纹，但是他们对一切都保持好奇，并且愿意去改变。我的爷爷年纪大，但是他对一切时尚的东西都了如指掌，有时候我不得不问他关于新的事物。年轻的心是永葆青春的方法。

There is only one word which can describe my childhood. The word is“carefree”that so many todays kids do not understand， although they have delicious food， beautiful clothes and pretty toys.

My parents never forced me to do anything. I recited a lot of poems and fine articles， but not for performing before their friends and our relatives， just because I enjoyed rhythms and words. So I never considered them a burden。 Later， when I was in the primary school， the homework was very few and easy to do， and I was never asked to be the top students.

Nor did my parents stop me from doing anything. After I finished my homework， I could stay outside for a whole afternoon to do whatever I liked. I used to go swimming in the river in summer， skating on the ice in winter. Sometimes I played basketball or football with my little friends. I could read any book， and my parents never examine it before my reading.

Sometimes I think my childhood was boring and not unforgettable， but I was really carefree and happy then. What is more important than to give a child a happy childhood?

只有一个词可以描述我的童年。这个词是“无忧无虑”,很多今天的孩子不懂,尽管他们有美味的食物,漂亮的衣服和漂亮的玩具。

我父母从不强迫我做任何事。我背诵很多诗,好文章,但不执行他们的朋友和亲戚之前,仅仅因为我喜欢节奏和单词。所以我从不认为他们是负担。后来,当我还在小学,作业很少,很容易做,而且我从未要求最优秀的学生。

我的父母也没有阻止我做任何事。我完成了我的作业后,我可以呆在外面整整一个下午做任何我喜欢的。我过去在河里去游泳在夏天,在冬天在冰上滑冰。有时我和我的朋友打篮球或足球。我可以读任何书,和我的父母从来没有检查过我的阅读。

有时我觉得我的童年是无聊和不难忘,但我当时真的无忧无虑的快乐。什么是更重要的不是给孩子一个快乐的童年吗?

Different people have different career outlooks. Some people want to become civil servants; some people hope to start their own business; some people dream of being freelancers, and so on.

不同的人有着不同的职业愿景。有些人想要做公务员，有的人想自己创业，有的人梦想成为自由职业者等等。

However, my ideal job is teaching. Firstly, I’m told that teachers have a high income. With the high income, I can open a training school to help the children in poor families with their education. Secondly, teachers always have summer and winter holidays, thus I will have more free time to relax myself. More importantly, teachers are angels to students, who can pass on the knowledge to students as well as help them develop their hobbies and interests. I can’t imagine how happy I will feel when I see my students become elites.

然而，我的理想是教书。首先，我被告知老师的工资很高。若有很高的工资，那我就能开个培训学校来帮助那些贫困家庭的孩子。第二，老师有着寒暑假两个长假期，如此我将有时间放松。更重要的是，对学生来说老师就是天使，传授孩子们知识帮助他们培养自己的兴趣爱好。我无法想象如果我的学生都成为人才，我会多么的开心。

In order to be a qualified teacher, I should read more books to acquire more knowledge, and train my patience and improve my communication and handwriting abilities.

为了成为一名合格的老师，我会读更多的知识从中汲取更多知识，锻炼自己的耐心，提高自己的交际能力并提高自己的书写水平。

Talking of examinations,I feel that they are one of the important

activities in school life.Since the first day I went to school,I have had to

deal with them almost every day.All through my secondary school days,I have gone

through al kinds of exams,entrance exams,tests,quizzes and so on. I have tasted

the flavour of happiness,sadness and laughter.

Before every exam,there is always a certain time for me to suffer.The world

before me seems to be sad and gloomy.I feel that all my books are

disgusting.During examinations,I am always like a computer.I try hard to squeeze

out every piece of information to answer my questions.A machine has no

feelings,but I am nervous,my heart beats hard.

After the "swesty battle",the world seems to be bright again.A disaster is

over.I become lively again,and begin to discuss every problem with my

classmates.

今天是清明节，我早早的就起床了，穿上校服，戴上红领巾，早早的来到了学校。到了学校以后，老师先让我们排好队，听了校长的讲话后，我们一起出发了。今天的天气非常好，晴空万里，暖暖的春风吹在脸上，暖洋洋的真舒服，我们排着整齐的队伍，举着红旗，在老师的带领下，到文山去扫墓，我往后一看，队伍一眼望不到边。

Today is Tomb Sweeping Day, I got up early, put on uniforms, wearing a red scarf, came to school early. After school, the teacher let us lined up, listening to the presidents speech, we set off together. Today the weather is good, sunny, warm spring breeze blowing in the face, warm comfortable, we row tidy team, holding a red flag, under the guidance of the teacher, to Wenshan to sweep the tombs, I looked back and saw the team, Wang Budao edge.

路途很远，可是我们一点都感觉不到累，到了文山上，我们先向烈士宣誓，然后给烈士们献上自己亲手做的小白花。又给烈士们唱了一首歌。最后，老师又带我们去参观了博物馆，合影留念，时间过的真快，不知不觉就中午了，妈妈来接我回家，我还真有点依依不舍。

Its a long way, but we do not feel tired, went to Wenshan, we first to the martyrs martyrs oath, and with his own hands to do small white flowers. And sing a song for martyrs. Finally, the teacher took us to visit the museum, posed for pictures, the time off really fast, imperceptibly to noon, my mother to take me home, I also really a little be reluctant to part.

My home town is a beautiful place。 It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice。

我的家乡是一个美丽的地方。它坐落在一条宽阔的河流和丰富的鱼和米饭。

But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town。 Many people had no work。 They lived a hard life。

但是在过去它是一个贫穷落后的小城镇。很多人没有工作。他们过着艰苦的生活。

In 1949 my hometown was liberated。 Since then great changes have taken place there。 The streets have been widened。 Factories， schools， hospitals， cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another。 The life of the people is greatly improved。

1949我的家乡解放。自那时以来发生了巨大的变化。街道已拓宽。工厂，学校，医院，电影院和剧院如雨后春笋般涌现出来。人民的生活大大改善。

I love my hometown。 All the more I love its people。 They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful。

我爱我的家乡。所有我爱的人。他们正在努力工作以使它更丰富、更美丽。

i never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you are a miracle." to me, i was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. i was a 19-year-old student at the university of texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

我从未觉得自己与众不同，但人们常对我说：“你的生命是个奇迹。”对我而言，我只是一个普通人，有着现实的目标和远大的理想。我曾是德克萨斯大学一名十九岁的大学生，在通向理想之路上信步前行，梦想有一天我会成为一名整形外科医生。

on the night of february 17, 1981 i was studying for an organic chemistry test at the library with sharon, my girlfriend of three years. sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late. we got into my car, not realizing that just getting into a car would never quite be the same for me again. i quickly noticed that my gas gauge was registered on empty so i pulled into a nearby convenience store to buy 2.00 worth of gas. "ill be back in two minutes," i yelled at sharon as i closed the door. but instead, those two minutes changed my life forever.

1981年2月17日的晚上，我和交往三年的女友沙伦在为有机化学测试做准备。因为太晚了，沙伦叫我驾车把她送回宿舍。我们钻进汽车，谁能想到在今后的生命中我不能再如此矫健地重复这样一个简单的动作。我很快发现油表空了，于是我把车泊在附近的一家便利店旁，想买两块钱的汽油。“我两分钟就回来，”我关上车门朝沙伦喊到。但就是这短短的两分钟改变了我一生的命运，永远地改变了。

entering the convenience store was like entering the twilight zone. on the outside i was a healthy, athletic, pre-med student, but on the inside i was just another statistic of a violent crime. i thought i was entering an empty store, but suddenly i realized it was not empty at all. three robbers were in the process of committing a robbery and my entrance into the store caught them by surprise. one of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head -- execution style. he obviously thought i was dead because he did not shoot me again. the trio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.

进入这家便利店就如同踏上了阴阳间的奈何桥，门外的我还是个健康的，活蹦乱跳的未婚大学生，而门内的我却成了暴力犯罪的又一个牺牲品。我还以为店里没有人，但我突然发现我错了——有三个匪徒正在打劫这家店，而我的进入让他们有些惊慌失措。其中一个匪徒迅速掏出一把口径为38毫米的手枪用力指着我的头，勒令我走到冷冻机旁，然后把我推倒在地，像执行死刑般从后面朝我头部开了一枪。他没再朝我开第二枪，显然他以为我死了。打劫完后三个劫匪逃之夭夭。

meanwhile, sharon wondered why i had not returned. after seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as i was the last person she saw entering the store. she quickly went inside to look for me, but saw no one-only an almost empty cash register containing one check and several pennies. quickly she ran down each aisle shouting, "mike, mike!"

与此同时，沙伦对我的不归忧心忡忡。看到这三个匪徒离开便利店后她真的很担心，因为我是她见到的最后一个进入店里的人。她赶快跑进店来找我，只见几乎被一扫而空的收银机上挂着一张帐单，还有几枚硬币散落在上面，四周无人。她在货架间飞快地跑着、喊着：“迈克，迈克!”

just then the attendant appeared from the back of the store shouting, "lady, get down on the floor. ive just been robbed and shot at!"

这时一名服务员从店后面走出来叫到：“小姐，过来一下，我刚才被打劫了，他们还向我开了枪。”

sharon quickly dropped to the floor screaming, "have you seen my boyfriend? he has auburn hair." the man did not reply but went back to the cooler where he found me choking on my vomit. the attendant quickly cleaned my mouth and then called for the police and an ambulance.

沙伦跌跌撞撞地过来哭喊到：“你见到我的男朋友了吗?长褐色头发的。” 那人默默走到冷冻机旁，找到了我，此时呕吐快令到我窒息了。他赶忙帮我擦干了嘴，叫了警察和救护车。

sharon was in shock. she was beginning to understand that i was hurt, but she could not begin to comprehend or imagine the severity of my injury.

沙伦被吓坏了。渐渐地她才明白我受伤了，但是她根本想象不到伤势的严重性。

when the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think i would survive and the paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. at 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in houston, were awakened by a telephone call from brackenridge hospital advising them to come to austin as soon as possible for they feared i would not make it through the night.

警察来了，他们很快断定是杀人案，因为没人相信我还能活过来，而救护人员说她从来没有见过伤势如此严重的人可以逃离死劫。下午一点半，我住在奥斯汀的父母被来自布莱肯瑞吉医院的电话铃惊醒，医院通知他们尽快赶到奥斯汀，因为他们认为我熬不过当晚了。

but i did make it through the night and early in the morning the neurosurgeon decided to operate. however, he quickly informed my family and sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. if this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if i beat the odds and survived. he said i probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.

但那晚我挺了过来，第二天清晨神经外科医生决定给我动手术。但他立即告知我的家人和沙伦我存活的机会只有百分之四十。然后他还雪上加霜地告诉我的家人，向他们描述如果我万幸活下来将面临怎样的生活——我可能再也不会走路了，不会说话了，甚至不能理解一些极其简单的命令。这些对我的家人来说都是莫大的打击。

my family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that i would ever again be a productive member of society. but once again i beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery. granted, i still could not talk, my entire right side was paralyzed and many people thought i could not understand, but at least i was stable. after one week in a private room the doctors felt i had improved enough to be transferred by jet ambulance to del oro rehabilitation hospital in houston.

本来家里人祈望能从医生的口中听到一点点鼓励的话，而他悲观的言语让他们没理由相信我还会成为一个对社会有用的人。在经历了三个半小时的手术之后，我再次侥幸地活了下来。医生的话得到了应验，我不能说话，整个右边的身体瘫痪了，许多人认为我变傻了，但至少我身体状况是稳定的。在私人看护病房里呆了一个星期后，医生觉得我已经好转了许多，并可以坐救护飞机转到奥斯汀的德欧洛康复医院。

my hallucinations, coupled with my physical problems, made my prognosis still very bleak. however, as time passed my mind began to clear and approximately six weeks later my right leg began to move ever so slightly. within seven weeks my right arm slowly began to move and at eight weeks i uttered my first few words. my speech was extremely difficult and slow in the beginning, but at least it was a beginning. i was starting to look forward to each new day to see how far i would progress. but just as i thought my life was finally looking brighter i was tested by the hospital euro-psychologist. she explained to me that judging from my test results she believed that i should not focus on returning to college but that it would be better to set more "realistic goals."

意识上的幻觉和生理上的病疾使我的病情预断非常的渺茫。然而时间的飞逝使我的意识开始变得清晰，大约六个星期以后我的右腿可以轻微地活动了，七周以后我的右臂开始缓慢地活动了，八周以后我终于开口说话了。说话对于我非常地艰难并且开始的时候说得很慢，但是总算是开头了。我开始寄希望于新的一天的到来，祈望着新的进步。但正当我以为生活总算初露光明的时候，医院里有个欧洲来的心理学家对我做了测试。她向我解释到，从检测的结果来看她坚信我不能再重返学校，劝我对此不要抱有任何希望，希望我最好树立些更现实点的目标。

upon hearing her evaluation i became furious for i thought, "who is she to tell me what i can or cannot do. she does not even know me. i am a very determined and stubborn person!" i believe it was at that very moment that i decided i would somehow, someday return to college.

她的这番结论让我怒不可遏，“她是谁，凭什么告诉我能做什么或不能做什么。她根本不了解我。我是很坚强而固执的人!”我相信就在那时我决定无论如何，总有一天我会返回学校的。

it took me a long time and a lot of hard work but i finally returned to the university of texas in the fall of 1983 -- a year and a half after almost dying. the next few years in austin were very difficult for me, but i truly believe that in order to see beauty in life you have to experience some unpleasantness. maybe i have experienced too much unpleasantness, but i believe in living each day to the fullest, and doing the very best i can. and each new day was very busy and very full, for besides attending classes at the university i underwent therapy three to five days each week at brackenridge hospital. if this were not enough i flew to houston every other weekend to work with tom williams, a trainer and executive who had worked for many colleges and professional teams and also had helped many injured athletes, such as earl campbell and eric dickerson. through tom i learned: "nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit."

在经历了一年半垂死挣扎的生活后，在漫长的等待和艰辛的付出后，终于在1983年的秋天，我返回了德克萨斯大学。在奥斯汀接下来的几年里我生活得非常艰难，但我确信为了看到生活中的真善美你必须要经历一些苦难。也许我经历的苦难太多了，但我有一个信念——充实地过每一天，尽力做到最好。日子过的很繁忙、很充实，除了读书，每周我还在要在布莱肯瑞吉医院接受三到五次的治疗。如果这还不够忙的话，我还要隔周和汤姆·威廉斯飞到奥斯汀工作。汤姆是一个教练兼主管，他曾效力于许多大学校队和职业联队，并帮助过许多受伤的运动员，如：厄尔·坎贝尔和艾立克·迪克森。从汤姆的身上我学到“没有什么是不可能的，千万千万不要放弃，永不放弃。”

early, during my therapy, my father kept repeating to me one of his favorite sayings. i have repeated it almost every day since being hurt: "mile by mile its a trial; yard by yard its hard; but inch by inch its a cinch."

早在我接受治疗的时候，父亲总是重复他最爱的那句话，每天当我感到痛苦的时候我也对自己重复那句话，那就是“脚踏实地，切勿急功近利。”

i thought of those words, and i thought of tom, my family and sharon who believed so strongly in me as i climbed the steps to receive my diploma from the dean of liberal arts at the university of texas on that bright sunny afternoon in june of 1986. excitement and pride filled my heart as i heard the dean announce that i had graduated with "highest honors", been elected to phi beta kappa, and been chosen as one of 12 deans distinguished graduates out of 1600 in the college of liberal arts. the overwhelming emotions and feelings that i experienced at that very moment, when most of the audience gave me a standing ovation, i felt would never again be matched in my life-not even when i graduated with a masters degree in social work and not even when i became employed full time at the texas pain and stress center. but i was wrong!

1986年六月那个阳光明媚的午后，当我步履蹒跚地走上德克萨斯大学迪安文学院的台阶接受文凭的时候，我思索着这些话，想到汤姆、父母还有沙伦，他们都那么坚定地给予了我信任。当我听到院长宣布我以最高荣誉毕业时，我的心中充满了骄傲和自信。接着他还宣布我被选入美国大学优等生荣誉学会，并在1600名毕业生中当选为12名迪安文学院的杰出毕业生之一。当场有许多观众站起来为我鼓掌，那一刻令我心潮澎湃、百感交集。我甚至觉得生命中不可能再经历那样的感慨和激情，这种想法一直延续到我获得社会学的硕士学位，成为德克萨斯止痛减压中心的一名全职工作人员。但幸运之神再次眷顾了我!

on may 24, 1987, i realized that nothing could ever match the joy i felt as sharon and i were married. sharon, my high school sweetheart of nine years, had always stood by me, through good and bad times. to me, sharon is my miracle, my diamond in a world filled with problems, hurt, and pain. it was sharon who dropped out of school when i was hurt so that she could constantly be at my side. she never wavered or gave up on me. it was her faith and love that pulled me through so many dark days. while other nineteen year old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, sharon devoted her life to my recovery. that, to me, is the true definition of love. after our beautiful wedding i continued working part time at the pain center and completed my work for a masters degree. we were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned sharon was pregnant.

1987年5月24日，我觉得再没有什么能与此时的快乐相提并论，我和沙伦结婚了。沙伦是我高中时代的女友，风风雨雨九年来，她一直陪在我身旁。对我来说，她是我的奇迹，是我在这个充满困惑和伤痛的世界上拥有的一颗钻石。为了能日夜守侯在我的身旁，沙伦在我受伤的时候放弃了学业。她的爱从未动摇过，她从未抛弃过我。是她的忠诚和爱伴着我度过了无数个黑暗的日子。当别的十九岁的女孩子参加舞会、享受生活的时候，沙伦把青春献给了病床上的我，等待我的康复。对我来说，这就是爱的真谛。在那个美满的婚礼之后，我继续在止痛中心做着兼职的工作，并获得了我的硕士学位。我们非常的幸福，而沙伦怀孕的消息更让我们恩爱有加。

on july 11, 1990 at 12:15 a.m. sharon woke me with the news: "we need to go to the hospital… my water just broke." i couldnt help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date "7-11" we were about to bring a new life into this world. this time it was my turn to help sharon as she had helped me over those past years. she was in labor for 15 hours. at 3:10 p.m. sharon and i experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, shawn elyse segal! tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. we anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes take in the world about her. it was truly a beautiful picture that was etched in my mind forever as she lie in her mothers waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. at that moment i thanked god for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all-shawn elyse segal.

1990年7月11日12点15分，沙伦把我从梦中唤醒：“我们得去医院了……我羊水破了。”我忍不住想命运真让人啼笑皆非，它几乎让我在那家便利店里丢了性命，而在一个命名为“7·11”的日子里它却让我迎来新生命的出世。多年来沙伦帮我度过了一次又一次难关，这次该我来帮助她了。沙伦经历了15个小时的分娩。在3点10分的时候，沙伦和我一起迎来了我们美丽的女儿——萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。当我看到美丽的女儿健康地来到这个世上，喜悦和幸福化作泪水夺眶而出。我们迫不及待地数着她的十个手指和十只脚趾，看着她大大的眼睛注视着她的世界。初生的婴儿躺在妈妈柔软的怀里如一副优美的图画将永驻我的心中。那一刻，我感谢上帝赐予我们如此最伟大的奇迹——我的萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。

In my memory, though my hometown is a small village, it is very beautiful. When I was small, I liked to caught fish in the river, the water was so clean that I could see the fish. As I miss my hometown so much, last week, I went back to my hometown, I found the place in my memory was not like what it was. The trees were not that numerous, the roads became bigger, while there was less place for the river, I saw some dead fish in the river, the water was dirty, the river pollution was so serious! I couldn’t believe it, the beautiful hometown was destroyed by the pollution, it is people’s ambition results in it, they chase for the profit at the cost of polluting the environment. I wish people can pay attention to protect the environment, they are saving themselves, too.

在我的记忆中，虽然我的家乡是个小城镇，但是很美丽。当我还小的时候，我喜欢在河里抓鱼，河水是如此的干净以至于我能看到河里的鱼。由于抵挡不住对家乡的思念，上周，我回到了家乡，我发现我记忆中的城市再也不是它原来的样子了。树没以前的多，道路变得宽阔，然而河道却变得窄些了，我看到河中有一些死掉的鱼，河水是如此的脏，河流污染是如此的严重!我无法相信眼前的一切，美丽的家乡被污染给破坏了，人们的贪念导致了这个结果，他们为了追求利益，不惜以牺牲环境为代价。我希望人们能注意保护环境，这也是在保护他们自己。

As the economy is developing so rapidly, people’s attitude towards life is changing at the same time. Credit cards are becoming more and more popular. but what advantages and disadvantages do they have?

Firstly, it is quite convenient ant safe for us to use a credit card. Cash-stolen does not exist in this way. People now take a card instead of a heavy purse wherever they go. Secondly, credit cards represent great honour. People using credit cards shows his special identity and draw others attention.

On the other hand, credit cards are not always that good. Credit cards can lead to overspending somehow. People pay more than they have and then get busy paying off. Furthermore the credit card cheating happens more often.

In my opinion, credit cards do good in our life. But we should use them carefully. Only when used credit cards properly can make contribution to a more convenient and safer life.
