+ 加入清单To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to
succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in
nowadays.
We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there will
always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they
appear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer.
We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really know
how hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs.
Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed in
herself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She proved
that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should
learn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences that
believe in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with a
smile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.
The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get over
the troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always get
nervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, the
results are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, the
results turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself,
keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achieve
more.

+ 加入清单2020年的春节,在所有中国人的心里,注定是一个永生难忘的记忆。新型冠状病毒的肆虐,让辞旧迎新的钟声更加沉重,人们脸上的那一个个口罩,让这个春节倍感冷清。
The Spring Festival in 2020, in the hearts of all Chinese people, is
destined to be a memorable memory forever. The novel coronaviruss raging force
makes the bell ring for the old and new year more heavy, and the mask on
peoples faces makes the Spring Festival feel cold.
这个冬天,梅花依然宁静地开放;这个冬天,蓝天依旧明净如洗;这个冬天的武汉却非常艰难,全国人民却非常艰难。在这特殊的日子里,我们谨遵医嘱,静静地待在家中。我们为武汉忧心忡忡,我们为治愈病例的增多而感到高兴,为武汉的人们牵肠挂肚。
This winter, the plum blossom is still quietly open; this winter, the blue
sky is still bright and clean; this winter, Wuhan is very difficult, but the
people of the whole country are very difficult. On this special day, we would
like to follow the doctor s advice and stay at home quietly. We are worried
about Wuhan, we are happy with the increase of cured cases, and we are worried
about people in Wuhan.
与此同时,有一群人,他们正冲在前方,用自己的平凡之躯为身后的亿万中国人筑起防护的堡垒,他们舍小家为大家,不眠不休,战斗在这场没有硝烟的战场上的最前沿。他们是来自全国各地的最美逆行者,他们是新时代的最美先锋人物,他们是可亲可敬的白衣天使。
At the same time, there are a group of people, they are rushing forward,
using their ordinary bodies to build a fortress for the hundreds of millions of
Chinese people behind them. They leave their small homes for everyone,
sleepless, fighting in the forefront of this battlefield without smoke of
gunpowder. They are the most beautiful rebels from all over the country. They
are the most beautiful pioneers in the new era. They are amiable and respectable
angels in white.
在这群人当中,有一位84岁的老院士,叫钟南山,17年前,这位老院士奋斗在抗非的最前线上,为抗击非典立下了汗马功劳。17年后的今天他临危受命,搭上前往武汉的高铁,再次前往抗击疫情的前线;86岁的董宗祁老教授,他坐在轮椅上,一上午看了30多个病人,他说:“我这辈子,就是为了救人”;73岁的李兰娟教授,知道国家有难,她毫不犹豫前往武汉,坚定地说出她的誓言:“我打算长期待在武汉,与那边的医护人员一起奋斗!”
Among these people, there is an 84 year old academician named Zhong
Nanshan. 17 years ago, the old academician fought in the forefront of anti
Africa and made great contributions to the fight against SARS. 17 years later,
he was ordered to take the high-speed railway to Wuhan and go to the front line
of fighting the epidemic again. Professor Dong zongqi, 86, sat in a wheelchair
and saw more than 30 patients in the morning. He said, "my life is to save
people"; Professor Li Lanjuan, 73, knew that the country was in trouble. She did
not hesitate to go to Wuhan and firmly said her oath: "I intend to stay in Wuhan
for a long time and fight with the medical staff there!"
这世上哪有什么岁月静好,只是因为有人在替我们负重前行罢了,这世上哪有什么天生的英雄,只有因为人们需要,才有人愿意牺牲自己成为英雄。
There is no time in this world that is quiet, just because someone is
carrying the weight for us. There is no natural hero in this world. Only because
people need, can someone be willing to sacrifice themselves to become a
hero.
虽然我不知道他们是谁,但我明白他们是为了谁。他们也许并不富裕,甚至有些贫穷;他们也许并不高大,甚至有些瘦弱;他们也许并不光鲜,甚至有点卑微,他们的形象在我心中是那样模糊,但他们的精神在我心中却是那样鲜明;不计生死,不求回报,默默坚守的他们,守护着健康,保卫着生命。
Although I dont know who they are, I know who they are for. They may not
be rich, or even poor; they may not be tall, or even thin; they may not be
bright, or even a little humble, their image in my heart is so fuzzy, but their
spirit in my heart is so bright; regardless of life and death, do not ask for
return, they stick to silently, guard health, protect life.
普通的我们无法到达正面战场与病毒作战,我们只能做好我们的后勤工作,不出门,少出门,勤洗手,戴口罩,这是为了不给他们添麻烦,祝愿他们平安早日凯旋。
Ordinary we cant reach the front battlefield to fight against the virus.
We can only do our logistical work well, not going out, not going out, washing
hands frequently, wearing masks, so as not to give them trouble, and wish them a
safe and early victory.
彩虹为证,千古不变,我要高歌。为生命喜悦,万物都歌颂你的慈爱,大地诉说你的恩情。
Rainbow as evidence, eternal, I want to sing. For the joy of life, all
things sing of your love, and the earth speaks of your kindness.
致敬白衣天使!
Salute the angel in white!
致敬最美逆行者!
Salute the most beautiful rebel!
致敬抗击疫情的每一个人!
Pay homage to everyone fighting the epidemic!

篇16:七年级作文手机600字
全文共 576 字
+ 加入清单当今社会,人们必不可少的一件工具就是手机。
许多人认为手机坏处非常多,什么使青少年沉迷于网络,其实我觉得这并不是手机的错,而是有些人的毅力太差,控制不住自己,如果毅力好,也就不怕会上瘾了,而且手机好处多多呢。
手机可以随时随地和人沟通只要一按号码,千里之遥可以近在咫尺,拉近人与人之间的距离,手机的附加功能强大,可以拍照听歌查字典,手机是及时的传递信息的工具。
与以前同学多交流,可以保持原有的关系;与现在同学多交流,可以增进友谊,遇到疑难问题时,可以用手机进行讨论。一些手机的拍摄功能,可以随时拍下一些有意义有价值的东西。还可以向老师汇报学习情况,疑难问题也可及时找老师请教,在学校遇到困难也可跟老师反映。当学生外出游玩或在其他地方遇到危险时可以及时向家长,老师或警察求助。
当然,手机也是有弊的,前几天,老班在自习课上就收了一部手机,事情是这样的:安静的自习课,大家静静的看着书,突然一阵铃声想起,大家都以为是老班的手机,可是却不是,这是大家在寻找着,终于,全班包括老班都在盯着一个人——余志良。大家都目光向他投去,老班走到他面前,并没有说太多的话,将他的手机也拿走了。班里没有人说话,只是有些叹息!
所以说想要玩手机,不是不可以,可以也应该分时间,分场合,不能太过于过分。有时候,手机也是我们休闲的用具,当你累时,它会减轻你打压力,所以,手机也是有好处的。

the early bird will catch worms
an old saying "the early bird will catch worms" reminds us that if people want to be successful and outstanding, they must plan ahead of time and make their efforts to overcome all the possible difficulties.
for example, the chinese athletes excellent performance in xx olympic winter games in vancouver is definitely the result of their early planning and hard training. if they don t set the aim and word work, even though they have the best talents, they cant compete with others and get more medals.
another case in point is my learning experience. i was good at english, but i couldnt pass the exam, for i wasnt prepared well before the examination. i had many things to solve at that time. as i met the complex things, i was at a loss. the reason was that i had no plan and involved in many things and didnt study more hard, so i failed.
in short, the saying shows us the important of planning, working hard and constantly trying.

篇19:关于元宵节英语
全文共 6620 字
+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.
