给笔友的一封信英文翻译通用20篇

对于求职者来说，如何用心创造有个性的求职信？英文求职信的写作方法有哪些呢？

虽然求职信一般来说包括1.你得知这份工作的管道。2.学历及职历的概要。3.你的个性以及能力。4.联络地点、联络方式，以及最后的感谢语等，但其实这里可以发挥创意的空间非常的大。求职信的诉求在于延续求职简历的内容，更清楚的表现工作企图心、个性、特质等。另外，有时写些自己平时喜欢从事的活动来补充履历也很不错。

举例来说，你甚至可以这么写：「我工作时专注的耐力就是从钓鱼中培养出来的」。

求职信的书写诀窍

1.表现自我的个性及特质

建议使用积极正面的陈述方式。

2.文章不可冗长

控制在总共四段、每段五行以内。

3.前瞻性的气魄

具有勇于突破与开创气质的人是外商公司的最爱。因此并不需要对之前辞职的原委做太多的解释。

4.少用第一人称

为了避免流于自大与主观的缺点，尽量少用第一人称。

说明你从何处得知这个工作机会

这是最基本的部份。一般来说会将媒体广告的名称改用别的字体书写或用底线加以标记。在这个段落中也可加上你的目标。

强调自己就是最佳的人选

这是最精华的段落。要依据求才广告的内容，将自己的能力及特色恰如其份的包装起来。不过在工作经验不足的情况下，要避免将自己吹嘘的过分离谱。

在结尾部份注意应有的礼貌

最后的部份建议要以感谢对方在百忙之中阅读这份履历表，并且“诚挚的期望能得到面试的机会”、“希望有荣幸能为公司效力”这样的句子作为结尾，让主管留下好的印象。

1.control; dominate; regulate; govern; manage; check; cybernate; manipulate; encraty; rule; rein; curb; command; hold in leash; pull oneself together; have control over; under sb.s thumb; be in control (of); be brought under control; under the control of; get command of; have command over; lead sb. by the nose

The Value of Reading Books

People often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things in the world.ButI don‘t think so. In my opinion, to read books is more valuable than anything else.

The old saying "To open a book is always helpful" clearly tells us how good it is to read a book.

Books are our friends. They introduce us different kinds of knowledge. They lead us down the road to success.

Books are our teachers. They teach us troth, science, literature, and philosophy of life. Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience,strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.

Books tell us what is good and what is evil. And only books can tell the good from the bad.

Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.

读书的价值

人们常说金子和银子是世界上最有价值的东西，但我不这样认为。在我看来，读书比任何其他事情更有价值。

“开卷有益”清楚地告诉了我们读书有多好。

书是我们的朋友。它们向我们介绍不同种类的知识，它指导我们沿着成功之路前行。

书是我们的老师。它们教我们真理、科学、文学和生活的哲理，同时它们增加了我们的知识，扩大了我们的视野，增强了我们的个性，使我们还做了在没有书的情况下绝不可能完成的其他事情。

书能让我们明辨是非，并且只有书才能让我们吸取反面教训。

因此，读更多的书是我们青少年学生的明智之举。

Good morning,everyone! I`m very happy to have this chance to give my

presentation. Before I start my speech, please let me ask you a question. Do you

think you are confident in yourself? If you are, do please raise your hand.

My topic today is “ to Be a Confident Person.”

What is confidence? Confidence is to trust yourself. Confidence is to look

upon yourself. It is not to indulge in self-admiration. It is not to get

extremely arrogant. It is not to get dizzy with success or to be opinionated. It

is just to inspire yourself ahead of a quality of mind, in high spirit, full of

energy. It is to meet the challenges of life in a positive mood. It is to

overcome your inferiority, farewell, to get rid of the trouble of a a ready-made

panacea.

Remember, I have just entered junior high school. In the face of the

challenge of new environment, in the face of so many new courses and learning

contents, I lost faith in my own and gradually developed a psychological sense

of inferiority. Achievement glided ceaselessly. It is a teacher and mother who

encouraged me and let me regain confidence. Gradually, my grades got higher and

higher and everything began to go on well. Gradually I adapted to the life in

middle school.

Friends, lets say goodbye to inferiority. Let’s be a confident person.

Because: only if you have self-confidence, can you control yourself; only if you

have confidence, can you achieve success and create your a brilliant life of

your own!

大家好!

今天我演讲的题目是：做一个自信的人。

什么是自信?自信，就是自己信得过自己，自己看得起自己。它，不是孤芳自赏，也不是夜郎自大，更不是得意忘形和自以为是;而是激励自己奋发进取的一种心里素质，是以高昂的斗志，充沛的干劲迎接生活挑战的一种乐观情绪;是战胜自己，告别自卑，摆脱烦恼的一种灵丹妙药。

还记得，我刚刚升入初中时，面对新的环境，面对那么多的新的课程和学习内容，我对自己失去了信心，逐渐产生了自卑心理，成绩不断下滑，是老师和妈妈及时帮助我、鼓励我，让我重新找回自信。渐渐的，我的学习成绩及各个方面都有明显进步，逐渐适应了初中的生活。

朋友们，让我们告别自卑，做一个自信的人吧。因为：只有拥有自信，才能拥有自我;只有拥有自信，才能走向成功，才能创造自己辉煌的人生。

Everybody has a daily schedule. We do the same things almost every day. My

day is probaly like yours.

每个人都有日程安排。每天，我们总是做着相同的事情。我的一天就有可能像你们一样。

Heres my daily routine. I get up at 6:30 every morning. I take my time

waking up,but then I wash up quickly. I brush my teeth,comb my hair and put on

school uniform. I pack my bag for school and I leave. I never miss breakfast,so

I either eat at home or eat on the way to school. But I always eat hurry. After

school,I go to a cram school like all my friends. I study and finish my homework

for the day. Finally,I go home and I take a break. I have dinner with my

family,watch a little TV. I am usually in bed by 9:30.

这个就是我的日常安排，每天早上6点30起床。我花了一些时间起床，然后很快地洗漱完毕。我刷牙、梳头发以及穿上校服。我整理好书包后离开(家)。我从来不会不吃早餐，所以我可以在家或在去学校的路上吃早餐。但我总是吃得很匆忙。放学后，我就像我的朋友那样去补习学校(学习)。我学习并完成了当天的作业。最后，我回家并休息了会儿。我与家人一起吃晚饭，看一会儿电视。我常常在9点半的时候上床睡觉。

This is my routine from Monnday to Friday. However,the weekends are

different. I can wake up late. Then. I can do whatever I like. I believe my

routine is typical. It is probably a lot like yours.

这就是我从周一到周五的例行日程。可是，周末(安排)就不一样了。我可以很晚起床。然后我可以做任何我喜欢的事。我相信我的日程是很典型的。这就可能与你们的日程非常相似。

Dear Santa Claus,

Hello, as time goes by, the sun and the moon fly so fast, and it will be

Christmas soon, you have to give gifts to obedient and very good children. It

reminds me of this time last year. Its long before Christmas and Im thinking

about what I want for Christmas. A few days before Christmas, I put my wish card

in front of my bed early, hoping Santa Claus can see it and help me realize it.

You may be asking, "Why put up the wish card so early? Why not wait until

Christmas Eve?" My answer is: That is because I am afraid you sent the wrong

gift, give you enough time to prepare. On Christmas Eve, I went to bed early,

thinking that I would wake up and open my eyes to see the gift you gave me. But

when I opened my eyes in the morning, I found no present at the end of my bed,

nor on my desk. I was worried because I thought you had hidden the present for

some joke with me. I searched my home carefully, but still there was no present.

I waited another day with great anticipation, but you and your gift still did

not appear. My mother told me that because they do not care for the environment,

Shijiazhuang is seriously polluted, haze weather is bad, you lost your way, so

you can not send Christmas gifts to the children on time. Is that right? Three

days later, I finally received your gift, which was accompanied by a letter of

apology. In the letter, you explained that due to the weather, you delayed the

delivery of the gift. At the same time, you also hoped that we could take good

care of the environment and be guardians of the environment.

Dear Santa Claus, another year has passed, in this year, my friends and I,

protect the environment, save water, try to be a good environmental small guard,

at the same time we also mobilize our father, mother, uncle, aunt and we take

action together, less drive a day a week, green travel. After our joint efforts,

shijiazhuang sky blue, water green, I believe this time you will be able to send

gifts to the children on time!

Looking forward to your friend: Li Zijian

亲爱的圣诞老人：

您好，时光流逝，日月如梭，马上又要到圣诞节了，您又要给听话又很乖的小朋友派送礼物了。说到这就又想起去年的这个时候了，距圣诞节还好久我就开始想圣诞节自己要的礼物。圣诞节前几天，我早早的把自己的愿望卡挂在自己床前，希望圣诞老人能早点看到并帮我实现。您也许会问：“为什么这么早就把愿望卡挂上去呢?为什么不等到平安夜呢?”我的回答是：那是因为我怕您送错了礼物，给您充足的时间来准备。平安夜的晚上，我早早的就上床睡觉了，想着一觉醒来睁开眼就能看到您送我的礼物。可是，当我早上睁开眼睛，发现我床头没有礼物，我的写字台上也没有礼物，我着急了，以为您和我开玩笑把礼物藏起来了，索性把家里认真得找了个遍，还是没有。我怀着期待的心情又等了一天，您和您的礼物仍旧没有出现。妈妈告诉我，是因为他们不爱护环境，石家庄污染严重，雾霾天气恶劣，您迷路了，所以不能准时把圣诞礼物送到小朋友手中。是这样吗?三天后，我终于收到您的礼物，伴随礼物而来的还有您一封致歉信，信中你说明了因为天气原因，致使你延误了礼物的派送的时间，同时您也希望我们能够爱护环境，做环境小卫士。

亲爱的圣诞老人，又一年过去了，在这一年里我和我的小伙伴们，保护环境，节约用水，努力当好环境小卫士，同时我们还动员我们的爸爸、妈妈、叔叔、阿姨和我们一起行动起来，每周少开一天车，绿色出行。经过我们大家的共同努力，石家庄的天蓝了，水绿了，相信这次您一定能够准时将礼物送到小朋友手中啦!

盼着您的朋友：李子健

：

As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been used

everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and

for international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chance

to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of

the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.

But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its

usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a

different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I

read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different

from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from

my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our

Chinese…

I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the

world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from

different contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can go

to London,because it is the birth place of English.

I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the

English spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us.

I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard

study, one day I can speak English very well.

If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I

believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.

I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!

Thank you!

亲爱的老师，同学们：

我很高兴可以在这个课堂上做一次演讲。这一次，我想谈谈英语。我的话题是我爱英语。

正如每个人所知，英语在今天十分重要。它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。

但是对我而言，我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性，更是因为我喜爱英语。当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美……

我爱英语，它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界，用我流利的英语，我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到许多的名胜。我希望我能够到伦敦去，因为那里是英语的故乡。

我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友，我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。

我知道，罗马不是一天筑成的。(成功需要日积月累。)我相信在持续不断的努力学习下，总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。

如果你想被爱，你就应该学着去爱他人。所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。

我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦!

谢谢!

有两则关于同一条英语谚语Blood is thicker than water的译例。其一是“清水不浓血却浓”，其二是“血浓于水”。从字面上看，上述两则译例译得固然不错，似无可厚非。译文读起来很顺，又比较易懂，但读后似有不知所云之感。

这是因为译文的形象没能准确地传达出这条谚语的喻义来。

Longman Dictionary of English Idioms（p.28）上对这条谚语的解释是“The relationship between people of the same family is stronger than other，relationships”因此，这则谚语似可以借用汉语中一句俗语“亲不亲一家人”来译更能表达出“属于同一血缘关系的一家人比别人更亲近一些”的寓意。

语言是文化的表现形式。谚语同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华。英语谚语是富于色彩的语言形式，一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上，英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此，翻译英语谚语时，仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性（等价性）为前提，寻求对等的表现是不够的。译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段，力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言内涵色彩，才能使译文讽喻得当，宜于说理，又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。

某些英语谚语和汉语成语、俗语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。汉译这些英语时，可惜用与其喻义相同或相近的成语或谚语及俗语直接对译。这样不但可以比较好地保持原文的神韵和形式，又使译文易于为读者或听者接受。如：

Pride comes before a fall．骄兵必败。

Amiss is as good as a mile.差之毫厘，失之千里。

Two is company，but three is none.两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚无水吃。

Walls have ear.隔墙有耳。

Enough is as good as a feast．知足常乐。

有些英语谚语虽然在语言习惯和文化背景方面和其相对的汉语谚语之间存在着某些差异，而且所比喻的事物并不一样，但他们的喻义却相互吻合，而且表达方式也很相似，汉译这些英语谚语时，常常需要“易其形式，存其精神”，即采用形象近似的汉语成语意译。这样可使译文既喻义明显，又含而不露，且可再现原文所具有的语言效果，容易达意。如：

Two can play the game.孤掌难鸣。

Newbroom sweeps clean.新官上任三把火。

Speak of the devil，and he appears.说曹操，曹操到。

The grass is greener on the other side of the hill．这山望着那山高。

Putting the cart before the horse.本末倒置。

有些英语谚语意在言外，语言含蓄，寓意深刻。如果仅从字面意义直译成汉语，而不领会原文的具体含义及其效果，译文势必平淡无味。这样既不能表达意思，又有损于原文的语言形象和丰富内涵。因此，在翻译时，应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻义相同或效果相似的成语、谚语或俗语来表达，则会使译文形象生动，准确达意。试比较下列各译例。

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.如译成“住在玻璃房子里的人，不应扔石头”不如译成“己有过，勿正人”或“责人必先责己”。

In fair weather prepare for the foul．如译成“晴天要防阴天”，不如译成“有备无患”或“居安思危”或“未雨绸缪”。

Murder will out．如译成“谋杀终必败露”，不如译成“纸包不住火”。

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread．如译成“愚者敢闯天使不敢去的地方”，不如译成“初生牛犊不怕虎”。

One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.如译成“想吃煎蛋卷，就得打鸡蛋”，不如译成工“有得必有失”或甚至可以引申为“不破不立”。

如果所要翻译的谚语喻义清新，形象逼真，按其字面直译其意，就能表达出原文的喻义来，则可直译。这样做既能较完整地保存原文的表达方式，且又可丰富我们自己的语言文化，一举两得，请看下面的译例。

God helps those who help themselves.上帝帮助那些自己帮助自己的人。或“自助者天助之”。

Money is the root of all evil．金钱是万恶之源。

An empty sack cannot stand upright．空袋立不直。

Do as you would be done by. 以你所期望的别人待你的方式待人。

这与另一谚语： Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.“己所不欲勿施于人”很相似。

Money talks.钱能通神。

有些英语谚语常常采用对称的修辞手段。使用这一修辞手段的目的在于加强语势，宜于说理，读后有心悦诚眼之感。汉译这些谚语时，应适当注意保持其修辞色彩，以便体现原文的表达方式。如：

You may take a horse to the water， but you can’t make it drink．

如果按字面译成，“你可以把马牵到河边去，但不能叫它饮水”至少是没有充分体现这句谚语本身所具有的强烈对比色彩。从语法分析的观点看，在这个句子里，情态动词may和can虽然都表示“可能”的，但在含义上有所不同。这里may表示“事实上的可能性”，而can则表示“逻辑上的可能性”。并列连词but使前后两个分句意义相反，对比色彩强烈。在这种情况下，译文也必须力求对偶整齐，前后呼应，形成对照。如将此句译作“牵马河边易，逼它饮水难”或“老牛不喝水，不能强按头”会更好些。

总之，即使像谚语这样孤立的语句，翻译时也需尽一番揣摩切磋之功，否则译文就可能与原文“貌合神离”，文不达意。译事艰辛也许正在于此。

My dear:

This is the first time Ive ever sat at my computer and written to you so

late. I must have a reason for doing this.

Now I will tell you my feelings humbly, because I dont want to

misunderstand you easily. Today, I made our photo in my dorm room and set it as

a screensaver. I miss you, I want to tell you my happiness. But the answer you

gave me was truly astonishing.

Text messages dont come back, you can do that. I cant believe it. I dare

not connect you who are indifferent to me with you who are committed to me.

Who was the man lying beside me who came to see me the day before

yesterday?

Who left me yesterday and kissed me at the station?

Can you tell me?

I am angry. Why should I be angry? I am so happy. Waiting for your text

message, waiting for your call. I wait for you.

However, I came to a deep silence and your indifference.

Now the sisters in the bedroom are all asleep. But Im writing a letter.

Even if I hadnt written, I couldnt sleep. Because Im crying.

Am I sad? I dont know.

You know what? I think you lied to me.

Maybe you dont love me as much as you say.

To you, my existence is just the icing on the cake. You are more successful

and satisfied with me. Without me, your life will still be so wonderful. So, you

can be so cool, so cool.

When Im with you, treat me well. When Im not, treat me as if I dont

exist.

Maybe you should say youre busy. Busyness is relative. Youre busy during

the day. Youre busy at night, too. May I ask what you are doing? !

Can be busy to a message also reluctant to send it?

Look in your inbox and your outbox for yourself. You get the idea.

Darling, I want to love you well. Because I think you love me.

However, I am a selfish person.

If your love for me continues like this. Thats what youre going to end up

with.

Then you will know how I feel. Since ancient times is lost just know how to

cherish.

Im not gonna send you a text back. Im not taking a call from you. I

disappeared. Youll never find me again.

Please dont make me sad any more. My feelings for you are limited, and so

are my tears. I promised you I wouldnt break up with you again. So I wont

say.

Two days ago, I was very sad, but you came, I was dizzy with happiness, I

am happy, I am blindly happy.

But I didnt think this was just the beginning.

Im so tired!

I clearly feel your speechless and indifferent to me.

Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you spoil me?

I dont know.

If you love me, please prove it with your actions.

If you love me, please dont think once and for all.

If you spoil me, please dont keep your high profile.

Finally, Ill tell you. I am fragile, but I beg for your love. Although,

you say firmly, I leave you, I cant find, you love me so much.

But Ill tell you something. Even if later no one loves me, I do not want

to love you so humble.

Is love so cheap to you as entertainment in your spare time? Do you talk

with you when you are lonely?

I also have my business, however, I would like to separate out to miss you.

While youre busy. You a student so busy, I dare to expect you to work in the

future, will give me a phone call, a text message?

Are you looking for a wife? What do you think your wife does? Is it the toy

in your hand? In a good mood to tease! Busy just throw aside, do not ask.

What you have done and what you have promised is entwined in my heart,

making my heart ache. I began to ask myself, "Does he love me?"

If this is love, if this is love, if this is his model of love.

So, what do I do?

In my heart of hearts, I clearly know that people can not change for

someone, change is not this person.

So, I dont have any requirements, from then on, you can do whatever you

want, you can talk to me whenever you want.

Write here, you send me a message to say, we normal point love it!

I think its normal. But is our relationship normal?

What boyfriend can have you so arrogant, so high profile! Did you give me

the cold shoulder? Youre thinking, just leave it here and youll be fine.

Youll be your wife.

I love you?

Now I want to say, I hate you.

I hate your promises to me. I hate your love for me.

Honey, I tell you, Im angry, disappointed, sad, upset, and hate you.

You drive me crazy. Madness is followed by long apathy.

The opposite of love is indifference, not ruthlessness.

Youre gone, youre in your own city, youre completely different.

If there is any grievance in your heart, you say! If you think you dont

want to talk to me, go ahead! If you want to leave me, you say!

If you dont love me, you are brave to tell me. You have to trust in my

resilience. You say you do not love me, say a few more times I believe. Just

like you say you love me, say it more times and Ill believe it. I believe

you.

Ha ha...

I dont know why, Im heartbroken. This doesnt feel good. Because Im

afraid of heartache. In order not to heartache, I will run. Will choose habits

without you. Why, you make my heart ache? Im afraid of pain. What shall I do?

Is it true that only do not fall in love will not hurt?

Dont I have any other choice?

Your tone of voice to me, is I good for nothing, and then you pain, you

speechless. Is that hard for you when youre with me? My dear? ! Do you find it

so hard?

Do you feel so tired? Is it so hard to cheer me up? Is that whats

bothering you? Or am I too tough? Ha ha...

This is my letter to you. What shall I do in the future? I dont know.

But, I know, It hurts. I dont want to do anything. Dont give me any more

lessons. Too many people in the world are too self-righteous. Too many people

are poor teachers. I want a husband who loves me, not a university professor or

a government worker!

Even if you are Song Shiming, I am Seaweed. Song Shiming is not going to

talk about the financial crisis to Seaweed! And youre not really successful

yet!

Finally, I want to ask you, who am I to you, are you in the right

place?

Where do you go from here? !

Also: Happy Christmas Eve to you!
