勇气为主题的英语作文（合集20篇）

Today is Halloween. We wear all kinds of masks, wear colorful clothes and go to school.

There, the foreign language teacher came in like a ghost. He was dressed in flawless white clothes and white powder on his face. The foreign language teacher came at him like a wild animal and scared us to run around. The foreign language teacher was so shocked that he laughed. The foreign language teacher showed us the dishes. I was watching with relish, the foreign language teacher ran up behind me and shouted, "ah... "I was scared out of my skin.

In the afternoon, the foreign language teacher introduced us to two people. One was Millie and she was dressed like a witch. Another is whitby. Hes dressed like a doctor. They took out a large bag of sugar and sprinkled it, and the sweets fell down like raindrops, and we rushed over them with lightning speed.

How time flies, the whole time passes, the school is out of school, look in full pocket, I thought: this Halloween is really happy ah! I like Halloween best!

今天是万圣节，我们戴上各式各样的面具，穿上五彩缤纷的衣裳，去学校参加活动。

到了那里，外语老师像幽灵一样地走进来，他穿着洁白无瑕的衣裳，脸上涂着粉。外语老师像野兽一样地扑来，吓得我们四处乱蹿。外语老师见我们吓成这样不禁“哈哈”大笑。外语老师还放碟子给我们看。我正看得津津有味时，外语老师跑到我身后大叫一声“啊……”吓得我面无人色。

到了下午，外语老师给我们介绍了两个人，一个是米丽，她打扮得像个小巫婆。还有一个是白比，他打扮得像个小博士。他俩拿出一大袋糖，洒了儿把，糖果像雨点一样地落下来，我们以闪电般地速度冲过去抢糖。

时光过得真快，一转眼就放学了，看着装得满满的口袋，我心想：这个万圣节可真开心啊!我最喜欢万圣节！

Yesterday was my birthday. I am twelve years old now and a primary school

student in Grade six. Yesterday, I invited my friends come to my home. I did not

invite them come to my home before. I was so happy because my mother cooked

delicious foods for us. My friends brought gifts to my. They are very beautiful.

It was a good day yesterday.

主题句必须生动感人，发人深思，因为读者是否愿意继续读下去是取决于主题句的。作者必须时刻牢记，他要努力引起并保持读者的注意和兴趣。听众出于礼貌得把讲演一直听完，而读者则与听众不同，他在任何时候都可以停止读下去，而一旦他不打算继续读一篇论文，作者是毫无办法使读者重新注意那篇论文的。

段落的发展方法。段落的主要部分都是作者用来证实主题句的。如果段落发展无力或不完整，就是作者没能把问题说清楚。因此段落的发展必须充分。只有两三句话的段落就像一份偷工减料的三明治那样不能令人满意。

Now, the world is in advocate a theme, that is: "low-carbon life".

Why should advocate low carbon life? Thats because in recent years, as people on waste, caused a sharp reduction in the earths energy, is now left, to the development of new energy sources, certainly too late.

Behavior, therefore, we should resist these waste, save energy use as much as possible in the life, and thus reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In this way, can achieve the "low-carbon life".

Now, more and more people begin to join the advocate low carbon life, then make a contribution to build a low carbon life. But there are some people, just enjoy yourself, dont for the sake of the future, the waste of the earth have very little energy at random, this kind of behavior is wrong, if everyone like they, themselves, low energy on the earth before long, will be used up, by this time, no matter how much people have the regret, also of no help.

Low carbon life in this moment now, appears especially important, I hope everyone should consciously create a low carbon life, starts from his side. Create a low carbon life, starts from me!

【参考译文】

现在，全球都在提倡一个主题，那就是：“低碳生活”。

为什么要提倡低碳生活呢?那是因为近几年来，由于人们的大肆浪费，造成了地球上的能源的急剧减少，现在已经所剩无几了，再开发新的能源，肯定来不及。

因此，我们要抵制这些浪费的行为，在生活中尽可能地节约使用能源，并因而减少二氧化碳的排放量。这样，才能够做到“低碳生活”。

现在，越来越多的人们开始加入了提倡低碳生活的行列，并为营造低碳生活作着贡献。但是，还有一些人，只顾着自己享受，根本就不会为将来着想，随意地浪费着地球上已经所剩无几的能源，这种行为是不对的，假如人人都像他们那样，只顾自己的话，地球上微薄的能源用不了多久，就会被消耗殆尽的，到了那个时候，无论人们有多么的后悔，也无济于事了。

低碳生活在现在这种关头，显得尤其重要，希望大家都要自觉地营造低碳生活，从自己的身边做起。营造低碳生活，从我做起!

Everyone in the world is not alone. We have families also friends. People become friends with millions of reasons and also some become friends without any reason. People have different characteristics may also become friends as a kind of     mutual compensation. The three friends below can all give me some advice when I was misled in life.

My friend’s name is Jack. We did not become friends immediately when we met in middle-school. He is the same age as me, but he is like some kind of a tutor to me. And he is tolerant to my fault all the time. It is he who made me know the definition of friendship. I was a mischievous boy at that time and I was hanging out with some hooligans. He wanted to save me a better future by driving me back to my studies. The way he chose seemed weird, because he did not persuade me like teachers or my parents. He tried to join us. He hanged out with us actually with me only. “Making the wrong friends is just like taking drugs.”, he once said to me. That was the reason why he chose the weird way to persuade me. A strong mind always helps. I also remembered that once I made him very angry by cheating him. But the moment I wanted to say sorry to him, he told me that friends indeed would never say sorry to each other. From then on the world “sorry” was gone in my dictionary. We need not to forgive each other but to understand each other.

For children, parents stand for the authority and are strict. My mother is a very capable woman in educating. As for me, my mother is just like an elder sister. She has her own way to educate me and never uses force to regulate my behavior, which makes her distinct from other parents. Even when I was a teenage, she preferred talking to me instead of physical punishment. The most serious punishment as I could remember was that I stood at the corner of our garden, for my dog and I made the vegetables a mess. I appreciated that my mother gave me the opportunities to learn from the experiences. I got to know that through my 18th birthday present. The present was a cell phone. I used to be a faddist. My mother wanted to make me more rational on money. And I was crazy about cell phones when I was in high school. She decided to by me a very experience mobile phone as my present for my 18th birthday. Then she told me that fad was nothing but to fade away. I did not take this immediately as well as some other things happened like this. And she would wait until I got to know the right myself. joozone.com

Jane is not the most beautiful girl I have ever met. But she is the most suitable one to be my girlfriend. She is optimistic and progressive. Before meeting her, I thought I was some kind of a loser of life and I treated everything in the world with hatred. It is Jane that gets me to the right way. One day she asked me what I wanted to be in the future. I said nothing. That was the only moment I saw sadness slipped over her face. Then she gave me a smile and told me that I would be the best if I wanted to. “There is no difficulties if you put your heart into something.” She said to me. She also changed my bad temper. When I was wildly complaining I was not fairly treated in the basketball competition to the referee, she would pull me away in case I would be punished by the authority. Jane also forgave my carelessness. She did not blame me that I often remembered her birthday three or more days later and even I got her things lost due to my inattention.

I was told that once people become friends they will get benefits from each other all life along. I am lucky to be bestowed with Jack, Jane and my mother. And they are the persons whom I always can count on in my life.

在当下的环境中，节约资源，保护环境显得越来越重要。下面请看语文迷整理的节约水资源的英语作文，希望对你有帮助。

节约水资源英语作文一：

Water is very important for us. We must drink water everyday. We can’t live without water. Water is everywhere around us. At home, we use water to wash clothes, to wash dishes, to cook rice, to clean the flat, to have showers, to make drinks, to clean our teeth, to have a bath and so on. At work, people use water to put out fires, to grow vegetables, to make things in factories and so on. We also can swim in the sea. Water is important for us, isn’t it?

Water has no taste at all.

Water has no color.

Water’s in the waterfall.

The pump.

Water is everywhere around us.

Water is in the rain.

As we can see, the world population is growing rapidly day by day. So enough fresh water is needed to feed such a big population. Whats more, with the development of industry, factories and vehicles produce poisonous gases or wastes, which consequently results in the pollution of water. Though fresh, a good amount of it can no longer be used. Only quite limited fresh water resource is available to human beings. So its high time for us human beings to take quick action to protect water resource. Stop pollution and save water, otherwise, we cannot survive on the earth.

With fresh water, the world will be prosperous.

导语：我们一生中遇到各种困难和挑战是无可指责的，有些人会经常悲伤，有些人将失去前进的道路，只有当我们有希望和勇气时，我们才能在不确定的将来取得成功。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

In the matter of courage we all have our limits. There never was a hero who did not have his bounds. I suppose it may be said of Nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

I have found mine a good many times. Sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. I know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. I should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. If I attempt to talk across a room I find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods I have part of the audience behind me. You ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.

【参考译文】

就勇气而言，我们都有自己的极限。从来没有一个英雄没有自己的边界。我想可以说罗伊·尼尔森和其他所有人的勇气都被宣扬了，他们的勇气在一定程度上已经达到极限了。

我已经找到我的很多次了。有时这是意料之中的事——通常是出乎意料的。我认识一个不怕与响尾蛇睡觉的人，但你不能让他带着安全剃刀睡觉。

我从来没有勇气在狭长的房间里讲话。我应该在房间的尽头面对所有的观众。如果我试图在一个房间里讲话，我发现自己正朝着这个方向前进，因此在交替的时候，我有部分听众在我身后。你不应该把听众的任何一部分放在你身后，你永远不知道他们会做什么。

Everyone has friends in life.A life without a friend is a life without a sun.

When I am filled with joy and share it with my friends, we can be both happy. Sometimes when I am not happy. Id like to tell my friends all about my worries. They will help me and cheer me on.

Of course, even the best friends will have problems. We can fight with each other sometimes. But it doesnt matter because we will soon make peace with each other.

勇气是人类文明亘古不变的主题，但是对勇气的系统性研究却是最近才开始的。什么是勇气？勇气从何而来？它在身体和大脑中是如何体现的？为何我们会对它如此之挚爱？没有恐惧感是不是件好事情呢？本文将一一予以解答。

In his 20 years as a firefighter and paramedic in Colorado Springs, Bruce Monson, 43, has had his little fist-bumps with death: a burning roof collapsing on top of him, toxic fumes nearly suffocating him.

在其作为科罗拉多斯普林斯（Colorado Springs）市消防员和急救人员的20年生涯里，43岁的布鲁斯·蒙逊（Bruce Monson）跟死神有过小小的亲密接触：一座燃烧的屋顶从他头顶坍塌，有毒气体几乎令其窒息。

Yet far more terrifying than any personal threats are what Mr. Monson describes as the "bad kid calls," like the one from a mother who had put her 18-month-old son down in his crib right next to a window with a Venetian blind and its old-fashioned cord.

但是比所有的个人威胁都要恐怖得多的，是被蒙逊先生描述为"捣蛋鬼电话"的，就像是一位妈妈打过来的电话一样，这位母亲把自己18个月大的孩子放到了婴儿床上，而婴儿床则正好靠近一个带有软百叶窗和老式绳索的窗户。

"The kid had grabbed the cord and gotten it twisted around his neck, and the mother came in and found him hanging there," said Mr. Monson. "Im the first one in the door, shes in a panic, and she shoves the kid into my arms, crying, Please save him, please save him! "

"小孩抓住了那条绳子，然后被绳子绕住了自己的脖子，接着母亲进来就发现他悬在那里了"，蒙逊先生说："我是第一个上门的，她还在恐慌之中，一把就将孩子塞到我手臂里，哭着说，请救救他，快救救他！"。

The childs body was blue, but Mr. Monson and his fellows met parental despair with professional focus and did everything they could. "We worked on him for over an hour," said Mr. Monson. "Its like a state of calm. Youre so tuned in to what youre doing, youre not thinking about the reality of the situation."

孩子的身体都已经发紫了，但蒙逊先生和同伴的职业素养遭遇了父母的绝望眼神，他们竭尽所能。"我们在孩子身上努力了一个多钟头"，蒙逊先生说："那就好像是进入了一种入定的状态。你对自己的正在做的事情是如此的全神贯注，以至于到了弃现实情况于不顾的地步"。

Their best was not enough, however, and later, at the hospital, the terrible sadness settled in.

然而，尽其所能仍回天乏力，随后在医院里传来了噩耗。

As Mr. Monson filled out his report, the mother sat in the trauma rooms designated "bereavement rocking chair," rocking her dead son, saying her goodbyes, while family members filed in and wailed at the sight.

正如蒙逊在报告中所写的那样，那位母亲坐在创伤室指定的"丧亲摇摇椅"上，不断摇晃着她死去的孩子，喃喃着自己的告别，此情此景，一旁的家庭成员也哀嚎不已。

An image of that mother in her rocking chair comes to Mr. Monsons mind every time he answers another "bad kid" call, spurring him to keep going, to never give up or grow sloppy or cynical, to simply do his job; and through doing his job, he has saved far more lives than he has lost.

每次接到一个又一个的"捣蛋鬼"电话时，蒙逊先生的脑海总会浮现出那位母亲坐在摇摇椅上的景象，激励着他不断前进，永不放弃，永远都不能麻痹大意或者是愤世嫉俗，只想着做好自己的工作；通过他的努力，他所救活的生命远远超过了失去的。

Only once did he allow the furniture connection to spook him — when his own wife was at the same hospital having emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and his young daughter happened to climb onto the bereavement seat. "I knew it was a totally irrational thing to do," he said, "but I made her get out of that chair."

这种联想只有一次让他被吓到了—— 当他自己的妻子因为宫外孕破裂在同一家医院接受急救手术的时候，他年轻的女儿恰巧爬上了那张丧亲之椅。"我知道，这完全是一件荒谬的事情"，他说："但是我把她从椅子上弄下来了"。

Courage is something that we want for ourselves in gluttonous portions and adore in others without qualification. Yet for all the longstanding centrality of courage to any standard narrative of human greatness, only lately have researchers begun to study it systematically, to try to define what it is and is not, where it comes from, how it manifests itself in the body and brain, who we might share it with among nonhuman animals, and why we love it so much.

勇气是某种我们希望自己富有并无保留地仰慕别人拥有的东西。在人类文明的任何标准记叙当中，勇气的中心地位一直是屹立不倒的，尽管如此，但是研究者也只是最近才开始对它进行系统性的研究，试图去定义什么是勇气，什么不是勇气，勇气从何而来，它在身体和大脑中是如何体现的，在非人类的动物里面我们会跟谁分享勇气，以及为何我们会对它如此之挚爱。

A new report in the journal Current Biology describes the case of a woman whose rare congenital syndrome has left her completely, outrageously fearless, raising the question of whether its better to conquer ones fears, or to never feel them in the first place.

《现代生物学》杂志的一份新报告描述了一个案例，一位患有罕见的先天性综合症的女人，在全然无所畏惧的情况下彻底痊愈，报告向我们提出了一个问题，是否说克服恐惧，或者永远不把恐惧摆在首位是不是会更好？

In another recent study, neuroscientists scanned the brains of subjects as they struggled successfully to overcome their terror of snakes, identifying regions of the brain that may be key to our everyday heroics.

在另一份最新研究中，神经系统科学家扫描了成功克服了对蛇的恐惧感的研究对象的大脑，确定了有可能是我们平常英雄事迹的关键的大脑区域。

Researchers in the Netherlands are exploring courage among children, to see when the urge for courage first arises, and what children mean when they call themselves brave.

荷兰的研究者正在探索儿童的勇气之源，试图找出什么时候会催生出勇气来，以及孩子们自称勇敢时其意思是什么。

The theme of courage claims a long and gilded ancestry. Plato included courage among the four cardinal or principal virtues, along with wisdom, justice and moderation.

勇气这个主题有着久远而辉煌的历史。柏拉图把勇气与智慧、正义及节制一起，列为四种体液或称之为四美德。

"As a major virtue, courage helps to define the excellent person and is no mere optional trait," writes George Kateb, a political theorist and emeritus professor at Princeton University. "One of the worst reproaches in the world is to be called a coward."

"作为一项主要美德，勇气帮助我们定义优秀之人，它不是可有可无的选项"，普林斯顿大学的政治理论家和名誉教授乔治·卡泰（George Kateb）说："这个世界上最糟糕的指责之一就是被称为懦夫"。

Yet defining what it means to be courageous has often proved as thistly as distinguishing the wise ones from the fools. For Plato and many other authorities, courage is above all a martial art, most readily displayed on the battlefield — the iconic brave solder running into the line of fire to retrieve an injured comrade.

但是，要界定什么是勇敢，往往被证明跟在愚者中区分出智者一样的棘手。对于柏拉图和许多其他的权威来说，勇气首先是一种搏击术，最容易在战场上展示出来——标志性的铁血战士冲破火线救出受伤的战友。

But Dr. Kateb points out that if courage finds its highest expression in war, then the trait paradoxically becomes an immoral virtue, ennobling war and carnage by insisting that only in battle can men — and it usually is men — discover the depths of their nobility.

但是卡泰博士指出，如果说勇敢在战争中有最高表现的话，那么其特点就自相矛盾地成为不道德的美德，强调人们，通常是指男人，只有通过战争才能发掘其灵魂深处的高贵，从而把战争和屠杀高尚化。

Marilynne Robinson, the novelist and social critic, has observed that courage is "dependent on cultural definition" and "rarely expressed except where there is sufficient consensus to support it." Where religious martyrdom is lionized, there will be martyrs; where social or political protest is seen as glorious warfare in civvies, there will be a rash of red-faced declaimers, soapboxes on every street.

玛丽琳·罗宾逊（Marilynne Robinson），小说家和社会评论家，她已经注意到勇气"依赖于文化定义"，"很少被表达出来，除了在得到足够的舆论支持的场合"。在为宗教而罹难者被奉为圣人的地方，就会有殉道者；在社会或政治抗议被视为光荣的平民斗争的地方，每一条街道临时搭建的演讲台上就都会充斥着面红耳赤、激昂陈词的演说家。

In pioneering work from 1970s and beyond, Stanley J. Rachman of the University of British Columbia and others studied the physiology and behavior of paratroopers as they prepared for their first parachute jump.

在上世纪70年代及之后的开创性工作中，不列颠哥伦比亚大学的斯坦利.J.拉赫曼（Stanley J.Rachman）等人在其首次跳伞准备的过程中研究了伞兵的生理及行为特征。

The work revealed three basic groups: the preternaturally fearless, who displayed scant signs of the racing heart, sweaty palms, spike in blood pressure and other fight-or-flight responses associated with ordinary fear, and who jumped without hesitation; the handwringers, whose powerful fear response at the critical moment kept them from jumping; and finally, the ones who reacted physiologically like the handwringers but who acted like the fearless leapers, and, down the hatch.

这项工作发现了三个基本组别：超乎寻常的大无畏者，很少表现出心跳加速、血压升高、手心出汗及其他的与平常恐惧有关的战或逃反应，在跳伞的时候总是毫不犹豫；踌躇紧张者，在关键时刻其强大的恐惧反应令其不敢跳下；以及最后一组，在生理反应上与踌躇紧张者一致，但却像无畏的跳伞者一样行动、最终跳下舱口的人。

These last Dr. Rachman deemed courageous, defining courage as "behavioral approach in spite of the experience of fear." By that expansive definition, courage becomes democratized and demilitarized, the property of any wallflower who manages to give the convention speech, or the math phobe who decides to take calculus.

其中最后一组被拉赫曼博士视为勇敢，即"弃恐惧体验于不顾的行为方式"。按照这种扩展性定义，勇气变得民主化和非军事化，它是任何一位设法进行提名演讲的局外人的专属，或者是一位对数学恐惧的人决定去学微积分。

Through interviews with some 320 children aged 8 to 13, Peter Muris of Erasmus University Rotterdam and his colleagues found that children also equate courage with the conquering of ones fears, and more than 70 percent of the respondents claimed they had performed one or more brave acts, including rescuing a little brother whod fallen in the swimming pool, saving a cat from a tree, biking home through the woods at night, and stealing money from ones mothers purse — yes, that will make the heart race, all right.

通过对大概320位年龄在8岁到3岁之间的小孩的采访，鹿特丹大学（Erasmus University Rotterdam）的彼得·缪里斯（Peter Muris）及其同事发现，孩子们也把克服恐惧等同视为勇敢的表现，超过70%的调查对象声称自己进行了一或多项勇敢的行为，包括搭救跌落泳池的小弟弟，拯救树上的一个小猫咪，晚上穿越树林骑车回家，以及从妈妈钱包里偷东西——是的，这些都会令心跳加速，好吧。

Joel Berger, a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society and the University of Montana, also distinguishes between animals that behave boldly for lack of experience — like mockingbirds unfamiliar with humans that will alight on the rim of a persons cup to take a drink — and those that are aware of a danger but proceed in the face of it.

乔尔·博格（Joel Berger），野生动物保护协会及蒙大拿大学的一位生物学家，也把缺乏经验而行为大胆的动物区分出来——像不熟悉人类的嘲鸟会飞落到某人杯子的边缘喝上一口——而那些意识到危险的则会弃之不顾继续飞行。

He cited the time he and his colleagues had immobilized a young bison in preparation for taking blood samples, and when they returned, an unrelated adult male bison was standing guard over the yearling, refusing to let the scientists approach.

他举了一个例子，某次自己和同事固定住一头年轻的野牛，准备采血样，当他们回来的时候，一头不相干的成年雄性野牛却守卫在小牛的周围，拒绝让科学家靠近。

"He knew that he could be attacked by us, and there was no genetic kinship involved," said Dr. Berger. "Courage may be a human construct, but Id call this a courageous, even heroic act."

"它知道自己有可能被我们攻击，而且它们之间也没有遗传的亲缘关系"，博格说："勇敢也许是人类行为，但是我会把这一举动称为有胆量、甚至是英勇行为"。

Seeking to capture the sensation of courage in real time, Yadin Dudai, a neurobiologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and his colleagues scanned the brains of people with a known phobia toward snakes as they were confronted with a live, large, harmless but indubitably serpentine corn snake.

为了能实时捕捉到勇敢的体验，以色列雷霍沃特魏茨曼科学研究所的也丁·杜代（Yadin Dudai）及其同事，在一个放有一条大型的、活体的、无害的但是的确是蛇无疑的玉米锦蛇的现场扫描了一位已知对蛇有恐惧感的人的大脑。

Lying in the scanner, the subjects could choose either to allow a box holding the snake to come closer, or to keep it away. As reported last June in the journal Neuron, the participants who squelched their terror and pressed the "snake approach" button showed activation of a brain region called the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex.

躺在扫描仪里，受试者可以选择让装有蛇的箱体靠近自己，或把它拿开。根据去年6月《神经元》杂志的报导，克服了自己恐惧感、按下"让蛇靠近"按钮的受试者，在一个被称为亚属前扣带皮质的大脑区域发现有活动。

Located toward the front of the brain, the structure has been implicated in depression and, intriguingly, altruistic behavior, and is thought to help negotiate between emotion and cognition, impulse and calculation.

该结构位于大脑的前部，与抑郁、魅力及利他行为有关联，被认为是在情感和认知、冲动和考量之间起到帮助的部分。

The thumb-size bundle of neurons acknowledges the yellow belly within but then moves to stanch its quivering power. And it does this in large part by dialing down the activity of the amygdala, long known as the brains central headquarters of fear.

这个拇指大小的神经元束能认知内在的懦弱，但是随后会转移到平息颤抖的能量。它会在很大程度上降低黄杏体的活动，长久以来那都被认为是恐惧的中枢。

For the serious cowards among us, the chronic need to conquer fear can get tedious. Why not just skip the anterior cingulate reveille and muzzle the brains fear response for good? The story of SM, a 44-year-old woman whose rare genetic condition has selectively destroyed the brains twinned set of amygdala, shows the clear downside of a life without fear.

对于我们当中具有严重胆怯的人来说，习惯性的克服恐惧的需要会变得乏味起来。何不干脆一劳永逸地无视大脑前扣带的起床号，让大脑对恐惧的反应缄默呢？那个SM的故事，一位患有罕见遗传病的44岁女人选择性地破坏其大脑孪生杏黄体集之后的结果，表明了缺乏恐惧的生活的明显缺陷。

As Justin Feinstein, a clinical neuropsychologist at the University of Iowa, and his colleagues describe in Current Biology, the otherwise normal SM is incapable of being spooked.

正如衣阿华大学的临床神经心理学家贾斯汀·范士丹（Justin Feinstein）及其同事在《当代生物学》杂志中所描述的那样，在其他方面正常的SM对受惊吓已无反应。

She claimed to fear snakes and spiders, and maybe she did in her pre-disease childhood, but when the researchers took her to an exotic pet store, they were astonished to see that not only did she not avoid the snakes and spiders, she was desperate to hold them close.

她宣称害怕蛇和蜘蛛，也许她在患病前的儿童时期的确如此，但是当她被研究人员带到一个国外的宠物店的时候，他们惊奇地发现，她不仅不回避蛇和蜘蛛，而且还拼命抓起它们套近乎。

The researchers took SM to a haunted house, and she laughed at the scary parts and blithely made the monster-suited employees jump. She was shown clips from famous horror films like "The Silence of Lambs" and "Halloween," and she showed no flickers of fright.

研究人员把SM带到鬼屋，她却冲着可怕的地方大笑，还快活地让穿着怪物服装的工作人员乱跳不已。给她看著名的恐怖片像《沉默的羔羊》和《万圣节》的电影剪辑时，她都没有表现出丝毫的恐惧感。

This fearlessness may be fine in the safety of ones living room, but it turns out that SM makes her own horror films in real life. She walks through bad neighborhoods alone at night, approaches shady strangers without guile, and has been repeatedly threatened with death.

这种大无畏也许在一个人的客厅里面是安全的，但是事实证明，SM在现实生活中制造了她自己的恐怖电影。她晚上独自一人穿过其恶邻的屋子，毫不保留地接近名声不好的陌生人，并以多次受到死亡的威胁。

"We have an individual whos constantly putting herself into harms way," said Mr. Feinstein. "If we had a million SMs walking around, the world would be a total mess."

"这里我们看到了一个不断将自己置身于伤害方式的个体"，范士丹先生说："如果我们周围有一百万个SM在游荡的话，整个世界都将变得一团糟"。

The bad calls would keep coming, and the rocking chairs never stop.

捣蛋鬼电话仍在不断打进来，而摇摇椅则永远也不会停止摇摆。

[寻找勇气之源英语作文

My university life has been one of the most colorful parts of my life. I will never forget the day when I first stepped into the university. At that very moment, I was impressed immediately by the beautiful campus, the enthusiastic students and the good learning atmosphere. I fell in love with the campus at once.

First, studying on the campus gives me lots of pleasure. After some very arduous military training, I became absolutely absorbed in my studies. Different from high school courses, the courses in university are specific and interesting. I can get information not only from teachers in class, but also outside of class, such as in the library, on the Internet and so on. These courses arouse my insatiable desire for knowledge and make me learn and digest as much as I can. To be frank, I had some difficulties in keeping up with my teachers at first, but later with the help of my teachers, I made remarkable progress. Learning is a long process, and I will continue to be a learner throughout my life.

Besides, social activities on campus provide me with more chances to learn. I will never forget the days I served as a volunteer at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. After some training in Chinese history and language skills both in Japanese and English, I endeavored to serve our distinguished guests from all over the world enthusiastically. I was a volunteer as well as a disseminator of our splendid culture. There was no doubt that I came across many difficulties at first, such as humid weather, language barriers and so on. Thanks to other volunteers’ help, I overcame those difficulties. When it was time to depart, I couldn’t help bursting into tears, because I had developed a deep friendship with other volunteers. This precious experience made me aware of the huge responsibility on my shoulders. Just as the old saying goes, “we make a living by what we get, and we make a life by what we give.”

In my opinion, university life has been the most splendid time in my life so far, and many students cherish this period of time and hope that in the future they may become outstanding members of society. But there are also some ignorant students who get together every day only to eat, drink, play computer games or date. They completely forget their mission as a college student and their responsibility to their family to do their best in school.

I want to say that although there are lots of difficulties or setbacks during our college days, we should set our goals and achieve them. I do hope we can try our best to become productive citizens of the country and make great contributions to the nation.

Last month we had a sports meeting. Though the weather wasnt very fine that day, the students were all very excited and the whole school was alive.

This time, I was even more excited. Because I went in for the sports meeting and my item was high jump. I didnt want to get any place, I only wanted to enjoy the game because I knew I wasnt good at sports.

When I got to the field with my friend. I was both excited and nervous. When I saw the first height, my heart could hardly heat. How high it was! It was higher than our desks. I couldnt believe my eyes. This was too high for me to jump over. I wasnt nervous at that timewhile I was a bit afraid. But I had gone there, I must have a try.

Not long after, the game began. The first person was great. He jumped over easily. I was too surprised to say a word. The second was good, too. The third nearly jumped over, but he wasnt bad…

It was my turn. I had a deep breath and then ran towards. In front of the pole, I began to jump. Oh, no! My right foot hit the pole. “I failed.” I thought. And then, another unlucky thing happened. I didnt stand firm and I tumbled. I hurt my back badly. At that moment I felt my back was broken. It was too painful. It seemed that the people around field all didnt know that, they only laughed at my foolish posture. After a very short rest, I stood up.

I push my pain back and then went out of the field with my red face. My friend hurried to come to me. He asked me if this was terrible. I was too pained with my back to answer his questions. I only shook my head. I was sad. Not only I had hurt my back but also I couldnt go on in the game. I had to see the others jump and wish them to get a good place.

Though I didnt have the whole game. I was still very happy. Because a lot of my classmates tried their best in the game and they got a lot of good places. They were all best in my eyes. I was thankful to them for doing their best for our class.

上个月我们开了一个运动会。尽管那天天气不太好，学生们都很激动，整个学校都还活着。

这一次，我更加激动。因为我参加了运动会，我的项目是跳高。我不想去任何地方，我只想享受比赛，因为我知道我不擅长体育。

当我和我的朋友来到田野。我既兴奋又紧张。当我看到第一个高度，我的心几乎无法加热。它是多么高!它比我们的书桌高。我不敢相信我的眼睛。这对我来说太高了。我不紧张，而我有点害怕。但我去了那里，我必须试一试。

没过多久，游戏就开始了。第一个人是伟大的。他轻易地跳过了。我惊讶得说不出话来。第二个很好，太。第三个差点跳过去，但他并不坏…

轮到我了。我深吸了一口气，然后朝着。在杆子前面，我开始跳。哦，不!我右脚撞到柱子上了。“我失败了”我想。然后，另一件不幸的事发生了。我没有站稳，我跌倒了。我伤了我的背。在那一刻，我感到我的背被打破。太痛苦了。周围的人似乎都不知道，他们只是嘲笑我愚蠢的姿势。经过短暂的休息，我站了起来。

我推开我的疼痛，然后带着我的红脸走出田野。我的朋友匆忙来到我身边。他问我这是否可怕。我太痛苦了，我的背回答他的问题。我只是摇摇头。我很伤心。不仅我伤了我的背，而且我不能继续比赛。我不得不看别人跳，希望他们能找到一个好地方。

虽然我没有整个游戏。我还是很开心。因为我的很多同学在比赛中尽了最大的努力，他们有很多好地方。他们都是我眼中最好的。我感谢他们为我们的班级尽最大努力。

勇气到底是什么?这个问题困扰了我很长一段时间，是面对权威的敢于质疑?又或是别人有困难时的义无反顾?那节音乐课上，我终于豁然开朗，明白了什么才是真正的勇气。

那节课是自我介绍。他坐在第一排，几步就走上了讲台，平时的他不怎么讲话，大家不约而同地鼓起了掌，他拖沓着脚步走上讲台，似乎并不怎么乐意，刚走到就开始唱歌了：“团结就是力量，团结就是力量!”虽然只有短短的两句，但他的声音洪亮如钟，身体不大，却给人以强烈的冲击感。

当我们正准备为他鼓掌时，却看见他两步并作一步地跑回座位上，把头埋在臂弯内，轻声哭了起来，同时还用拳头不住地捶着桌面，那样子，像是陷入深渊却无法自拔，像是快被吞噬又无力逃脱，叫谁看了都有一种心痛的感觉。当时我心中尚有不解：不过是唱两句歌而已，至于吗?可是

后来，他的同桌告诉我那天中午他刚被老师批评了，本来就不怎么想唱歌的他唱了歌后情绪就爆发了。我真的很难想象，一个人刚经历了心灵的低谷，是如何做心理斗争，如何鼓起勇气支撑自己在众目睽睽之下做自己不擅长的事情的，如果是我的话，想必连站起来的勇气都不会有的罢。

而他本是个内向的人，遇到这样的事，连我这个外向的人都很难有勇气，可他却支持自己做了出来，那不是轻而易举的事，他可能为此甚至做了一下午的心理斗争才会做出上台的决定，这样勇敢的性格不正是我们所要学的吗?

现在回想起他站起来的那一个瞬间，心中也仍是思潮起伏、排山倒海，或许，那就是勇气，而他才真正叫做英雄罢。

他站起来的那个瞬间，我看到了汹涌澎湃的潮水，听见了激烈高昂的号音，那不是一个年仅十二三岁的孩子，而是喊着响亮冲锋号的千军万马，那是勇气，是刚强!

那一刻，我想，我似乎明白了什么是勇气。

In the matter of courage we have our limits. There never was a hero who did not have his bounds. I suppose it may be said of Nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

I have found mine a good many times. Sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. I know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. I should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. If I attempt to talk across a room I find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods I have part of the audience behind me. You ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.

导语：勇气是一个人在面对死亡时冷静和控制的能力。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Hemingway often thought of courage as a persons ability to be calm and controlled in the face of death. His theme is presented in his novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls?" the story "The Old Man and the Sea" and in our textbook "A Days Wait". By misunderstanding a different thermometer the boy thought he was running a high fever and would soon die. But he took his death bravely and waited quietly for it. The boy showed us he had courage.

I think such a definition of courage is far from enough. Courage should not be limited and related only to death. In ordinary life there are common things that also show a persons courage. For example, on a bus trip, a thief was trying to steal a girls purse. Some people saw it, but kept quiet. They were afraid to be revenged by the thief. The brave stood out and stopped the thief.

Courage means truth and justice to me. The person in a high position often hear songs in praise of him. Some people are sincere. Some are only flattering the superior in their own favor. The leader also needs courage to welcome criticism as well as those who have the courage to criticize him. Such courage may come from mutual understanding. I think a man of courage will value truth and justice, and not hesitate in his actions to do what he thinks is right, There is no such word as fear in his dictionary.

【参考译文】

海明威常常认为勇气是一个人在面对死亡时冷静和控制的能力。他的主题是在他的小说“丧钟为谁而鸣?”“老人与海”的故事和我们的教科书“一天的等待”。由于误解了另一个温度计，男孩以为他发高烧，很快就死了。但他勇敢地死了，静静地等待。男孩告诉我们他有勇气。

我认为这样一个勇气的定义是远远不够的。勇气不应仅限于死亡。在日常生活中也有一些常见的东西，也显示一个人的勇气。例如，在公共汽车上，一个小偷试图偷一个女孩的钱包。有些人看到了，却保持沉默。他们害怕被报复的小偷。勇敢的人站出来制止了小偷。

勇气对我来说意味着真理和正义。那个地位高的人经常听到赞美他的歌。有些人是真诚的。有些人只为了自己的利益奉承上级。领导人也需要勇气来欢迎批评，以及那些有勇气批评他。这种勇气可能来自相互理解。我认为一个有勇气的人会重视真理和正义，在他的行动中毫不犹豫地去做他认为正确的事，在他的字典里没有恐惧这个词。

如何实现团队工作How to Achieve Team Work

"Experience is the best teacher," people say. Indeed, the most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in life come from our participation in situations.

For my part, you cant learn everything from a book. And only practice makes you a successful person.

To begin with, first-hand experience is important for a child. When we were children, we learned the fundamental lessons of life solely from experience.

That is to say, parents teach us by experience such as how to walk steadily, how to cope with the adults, and so on and so forth. Secondly, first-hand experience is also important for an adolescent.

At school, we do not learn everything from books, in that few books can teach us successfully how to meet new people and make more friends.

Finally, as we leave adolescence behind and enter adult life, no book can teach us how to fall in love and get married. But experiencing our own triumphs and disasters is really the only way to learn how to live a successful life.

To conclude, knowledge gained both from experience and from books have their respective roles to play in our life.

However, in my view, I think the former one is more important than the latter one.

The most important lessons cant be taught; they have to be experienced.

勇气是什么?是独自站在舞台上表演;是在冬天独自开放的梅花;是微笑对待生活中的每一个困难，关于勇气，相信每一个人都有不同的回答。

记得小时候，妈妈带我去游泳馆游泳，看着其他人在水中玩耍的样子，心里痒痒的，迫不及待地想下水。正当我要下去水里的时候，妈妈又给了我一个游泳圈，开始倒是玩的很好，后来觉得这个游泳圈就是一个累赘，于是毫不犹豫地把游泳圈取了下来，可是我万万没有想到，死神就在我的身边我溺水了。幸好，那里的游泳教练把我从死神的手中救了出来。我站在水边，瑟瑟发抖地看着眼前这一片波光粼粼的水，如万丈深渊。从此我再也不游泳了。

有一年夏天，我长大了，因为天气十分炎热，所以妈妈给我报了一个游泳班，我死活也不肯去。爸爸在一旁捂着肚子指着我大笑着说：“哈!哈哈!哈!你这个大笨蛋，连连游泳都不会!可爸爸的激将法对我无用，因为我的脑海中浮现的是在水中拼命挣扎的.场景，我的心慌乱不已，无助感向我袭来。看着一旁的爸爸，我生气地脸都红了，再看看别的小伙伴们在水中快乐的样子。

心里无比的纠结：去?不去?去?不去?去!不管了!我大声地对一旁的爸爸说：“哼!我就不信我学不会，我要证明给你看看!”来到游泳馆，我看着眼前的游泳池，心想：为了不被爸爸嘲笑，我拼了!我慢慢下水，刚开始不敢迈开脚步，死死抓住泳池边，在教练的安慰下，我渐渐放下了心里的恐惧。

小心翼翼地跟着教练的姿势，认真学习。妈妈也在一旁鼓励着我，我看着周围比我小的朋友都游得那么开心，那么自在，我彻底放下担心，把自己想象成了一条小鱼，在水中自由地游玩，慢慢地，我离开了教练的保护，动作也越来越熟练了，最终，我战胜了恐惧，学会了游泳。

这就是勇气，在我的生命中，不，应该是在每一个人的生命中都是不可缺少的。当遇见困难时，不要怕，因为勇气这双隐形的翅膀会助你高飞!

《朗读者》这类文化综艺节目的出现可谓“因势利导”，“势”即当前社会文化心理的主流趋势，“导”即引导，这也正是其价值和意义所在。90后、00后被称为互联网时代的原生民，他们对我国传统文化的态度，与其说文化自觉，不如说是文化认同。互联网缩小了世界的距离，也淡化了文化的传统与特质。

而文化是民族的“根”和“魂”，是民族精神之源。习近平总书记说：“坚定文化自信，是事关国运兴衰、事关文化安全、事关民族精神独立性的大问题。”当前，文化类综艺节目在适应社会文化心态的同时，对坚定文化自信发挥了可贵的引导作用，尤其是伴随互联网长大的年青一代，在增强对中华优秀传统文化的认同方面，可谓功莫大焉。

当然，文化类综艺节目在当前虽然生逢其时，但仍然还有很长的路要走。方向对了，节目质量就是关键，同时还需要更好地适应网络新媒体的制作和传播模式，以吸引更多的年轻观众。

The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale.
