关于冬天的英语作文及翻译（汇总20篇）

幸福是否可以用金钱购买？不可能！但是不是钱多一点我们就会更开心一点呢？对此，大多数人一定微笑赞同。我们相信，收入的富足与舒适的生活感受之间有着某种联系。几乎所有人都会说，是的，我希望变得富有。而目前有四分之三的美国大学生都认为，过上“十分富裕”的生活是“非常重要”和“必不可少”的。钱的作用的确不小。

Does money buy happiness? No! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between fiscal fitness and feeling fantastic. Most of us would say that, yes, we would like to be rich. Three in four American collegians now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters.

但是，富人就一定更快乐吗?研究人员发现，在一些贫穷的国家，相对而言比较富裕确实会使人过得更幸福一些。我们需要食物、住所、休息和社会关系。然而，人们惊讶地发现，在那些几乎所有人都衣食无忧的国家里，财富的增加所产生的效果微乎其微。收入与幸福之间的关联“惊人得微弱”。一旦生活舒适，钱所带来的收益便呈现递减趋势。得到的第二笔十万美元就像吃到的第二只派，尝起来永远都不如第一只那么美味。即使那些彩票得主和福布斯排名前一百的富人们也并没有比一般的美国人更开心多少。飞黄腾达只能带来暂时的喜悦。从长远来说，财富就像健康一样，失去它的人定会感到不幸，而拥有它的人却未必一定幸福。

Well, are rich people happier? Researchers have found that in poor countries, being relatively well off does make for greater well-being. We need food, rest, shelter and social contact. But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing affluence matters surprisingly little. The correlation between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak”. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns. The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthiest Americans have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run, wealth is like health: its utter absence can breed misery, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness.

Doing the housework and reducing the parents’ burden help the children to be mature, what’s more, the parents should not overprotect their kids all the time, they can give some jobs to the children and lead them to be independent. Doing the housework is not a big deal, but it is the attitude to life.

给人的印象是，圣诞节总是那么舒适宜人。十二月的印象完全没有一个严酷的北方冬天，只有春天的温暖。开小学最后一束梅花，梅花开在节日应该开放圣诞节。

它每天都来，不管你是谁，总是在桌上有很多卡片，充满了祝福。远处是彩色蜡笔画，伴着厚厚的雪花，给了圣诞节纯洁无邪的感觉。放学后，同学们都在摊位上买丝带，买气球，冒着鹅毛装点的教室，走过每一个路段，失去了学校的尊严，取而代之的是富气的圣诞节。

一年有四个季节，要红柳绿的春，骄阳似火的夏，天高气爽的秋以及白雪皑皑的冬。我最喜欢的是春天。

春天是个万物复苏的季节。小草从地下探出了脑袋，花儿争芳斗艳，一展丰姿。柳树姑娘在河边挥舞着她的手臂，燕子掠过长空。到处一派生机勃勃的景象。

春天是个充满希望的季节。田里的农民在辛勤的播种，“春种一粒粟，秋收万颗子.”他们都想在秋天时有个好收成。学生们埋头苦读，也是为了能有个好成绩。

春天是个朝气蓬勃的季节。“一年之计在于春。”春天是一年的开始。看，大街小巷都布满了孩子的脚印。的确，春天适合做很多事，比如：放风筝、远足、野炊等，都可以显示出孩子们的活力、生机和童趣。

春天还是个绿意盎然的季节。看那绿色的草、绿色的树叶，实在令人感到赏心悦目。

春光无限好，我喜欢春天。

Dont you see the heavy smokes from the big chimneys? Dont you smell the gas from the motors all around the streets? Weve got much dirtier air! The iceburgs are melting from the warmer winter because of the air pollution!

难道你没有看到浓重的烟雾从烟囱里冒出来吗？难道你没有在街上闻到从机动车上排出来的气体吗？我们得到太多肮脏的空气了！因为气体污染，冰山在暖冬的时候融化了不少。

Dont you see there are less lives in the water? Dont you see that we must pay higher cost in water processing? Weve got much darker water running around! The oceans are in danger.

难道你没有看到水中的生物越来越少了吗？难道你没有看到我们必须花更多的成本加工水源吗？我们到处开采深水。海洋正处于危险之中。

Dont you see the mountains getting bald ? Dont you see our ground becoming hollow ? Weve been exhausting the resources beneath the earth. Our grandchildren will live on nothing.

难道你没有看到山峰正变得光秃秃吗？难道你没有看到土地正变得空空的吗？我们正耗尽地下的资源。我们的孙儿将无法依靠任何事情生活下去。

We have only one globe. Treasure the mother nature!

我们只有一个地球。珍爱（孕育万物的）大自然吧！

There is no doubt that we should never go out there to see what happens; instead, we should take actions to make things happen. A telling example is Youyou Tu. She and her colleagues made 380 extracts from 2,00 herbs before they finally succeeded in discovering the pure substance qinghaosu, which can be used to treat malaria. As we all know, there were numerous scientists who wanted to find this substance, but it was her firm actions that made her the first Chinese Nobel laureate in medicine.

Why?Reasons are quite simple and can be listed as follows. To begin with, only by taking actions can we find the best way to solve those problems we are facing, but as a bystander, we can learn nothing meaningful. In addition, in an age full of ruthless and relentless competitions, without taking actions to make things happen, we are bound to lose those valuable opportunities. For instance, if Apple had just gone out there to see what happens in mobile phones, it could not have presented the amazing product, iPhone, to us.

Accordingly, we college students should not just be a watcher but a doer. In my humble opinion, we can start from applying what we have learned into practice.

毫无疑问,我们永远不应该走出去看看发生了什么;相反,我们应该采取行动让事情发生。一个生动的例子就是由你。她和她的同事做了380提取物2 00草药才终于发现了纯物质青蒿素,可用于治疗疟疾。我们都知道,有很多的科学家们想找到这种物质,但这是她公司的行为,让她第一个中国医学诺贝尔奖得主。

为什么?原因很简单,可以列出如下。首先,只有采取行动才能找到最好的方法解决我们面临这些问题,但作为一个旁观者,我们可以学到什么有意义的事情。此外,在一个充满残酷和无情的竞争时代,没有采取行动让事情发生,我们注定要失去这宝贵的机会。例如,如果苹果刚刚在手机看看会发生什么,它不可能呈现惊人的产品,iPhone,给我们。

因此,我们大学生不应该只是一个观察者,但一个实干家。依我拙见,我们可以从应用所学付诸实践。

Winter morning really beautiful ah!

The sun also feel a bit cold, holding a white scarf around his neck, the earth also paved a layer of milky white veil. Distant trees, houses are showing a touch of shadow, like the painter with light ink outlines the lines. The whole earth are shrouded in the thick white fog, nothing can not see. Eyes only white vast fog, wet fog, cool foggy fog.

I took my school bag toward the school, the streets from time to time someone rush to and from. At first, you can only hear their footsteps, and then to see their blurred silhouette close to see their face, the fog gave them a clever place in the make-up, their black hair dyed silver, their Eyelashes sparkling crystal beads.

Came to school, the campus everywhere misty, as if to the school covered with a layer of silver and white veil, really "do not know the true colors" mystery. I put down my bag and finished my homework. "Ding zero" - morning time to go, the students have returned to their seats, concentrate on reading the book. Suddenly, the campus book sound Lang Lang. Into the classroom, like into the rain after the bamboo forest, a green tree to drop the spring bamboo in the rain under the moisture of the first to fear to grow seedlings.

"Ding zero" is a crisp ringtones - morning time to run. We arranged a neat team as usual to the playground running. We are wearing neat school uniforms, like a long dragon dance in the playground. In the sound of music, we run in a consistent manner. I can not help but exclaimed: This is really a world of hope!

The winter morning is full of life, full of hope, how can not let people love it?

《汤姆·索亚历险记》以其浓厚的深具地方特色的幽默和对人物敏锐观察，一跃成为最伟大的儿童文学作品，也是一首美国“黄金时代”的田园牧歌。下面是语文迷为大家提供的《汤姆·索亚历险记》英语读后感，希望对你有帮助。

I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely a book everyone can relate to.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyers life.

Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Toms adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.

The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms (which Im sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.

故事的主人公汤姆是个天真、活泼而又顽皮的典型美国少年。他和野孩子夏克，各干出了许多令人捧腹的妙事。像汤姆被罚粉刷围墙，竟施出诡计，不但使别的孩子心甘情愿代替他工作，还自动奉上谢礼。后来和夏克逃到荒岛去，人们以为他们淹死了，正在教堂为他们举行丧礼，而他们却躲在教堂的钟楼上偷听。这些顽皮的举动，虽然不能给我们做模范，但是，他为了正义，毅然地挺身出来作证人，拯救那无辜的罪犯沫夫彼得。并在顽皮之余，居然和夏克破获了一桩谋杀案，成为众人钦佩的小英雄。看来，汤姆也有值得我们学习的地方。

人总是会长大的，除了个儿长高了，身子强壮了以外，人的思想也在长。你对世界的看法不同了，懂事了，不再幼稚了。不过人是要越变越好才是。千万不能像历险记里的那个心狠手辣的坏蛋卓伊一样，他坏事做尽，人见人憎。但最后他还是恶有恶报，得到了一个活活饿死在山洞里的下场。

看完《汤姆索亚历险记》，我真羡慕汤姆能有如此有趣的经历。这本书让人看起来津津有味，甚至废寝忘食。我想，《汤姆索亚历险记》在你烦闷的时候或许能让你一笑解千愁。

Every year the Spring Festival is my most happy day, every family hangs red lanterns, antithetical couplet, children put on new clothes, we sit together to eat the family reunion dinner, the most happy thing is with fireworks.

I was six years old that year, the Spring Festival after eating the reunion dinner, my brother and I quickly ran into the yard with fireworks, I carefully use lighter to lead a touch, and my brother and I ran to see the fireworks empty and take off on the sky like a bunch of chrysanthemum and our fireworks burst, some like a gyroscope, hovering on the ground; Some like split, in the air and the colorful "flowers"; There is like heaven meteor, flashed in the sky... Beautiful!

If every day can be like the Spring Festival, that it would be good!

Teachers comment: this article hierarchy clear, full sentences. Full text is filled with passion, can realize you read between the lines of the affection of the Spring Festival and longing for a better life. At the same time I also wish you happiness, happy forever!

每年过春节是我最开心的日子，家家户户挂上红红的灯笼，贴上对联，小孩子穿上新衣、大家坐在一起吃团圆饭，最开心的事是放烟花。

我六岁那年春节，吃完团圆饭后，我和弟弟飞快的跑到院子里放烟花，我小心翼翼地用打火机往引线上一碰，我和弟弟就跑，只见烟花空而起飞上天空像一簇菊花，我们的烟花一朵朵炸开，有的好像陀螺一样，在地上转来转去;有的仿佛天女散花似的，在空中撒出五彩的“花朵”;还有的有如天外流星一般，在空中飞驰而过……美丽极了!

如果每天多可以像过春节一样那该多好啊!

教师评语：这篇文章层次清晰，语句流畅。全文充满了激情，从字里行间能体会到你对春节的喜爱之情和对美好生活的向往。同时我也希望你永远幸福、快乐!

Movies

Today was very clear with no wind.

I practiced basktball in the morning. Then I went to the movies with Sandy. We saw White Nights. It was a very nice movie!I liked "Say you,say me"best of all the songs. Im fond of seeing musicals. The dancing is very beautiful and the music is pretty.

二月三日 星期三 晴

电影

今天是晴空万里，没有风的日子。

早上我练习篮球，然后和珊蒂一起去看电影，它真是一部相当好的的片子。 所有歌曲中我最喜欢"说你，说我"。 我喜欢卡们歌舞片，舞蹈十分美妙，而音乐也很好听。

早在几天前，街道上就摆满了粽子，到处飘散着粽子的清香。今天终于可以吃到妈妈做的香喷喷的粽子了。因为端午节到来了。

As early as a few days ago, the streets were filled with zongzi, and the

fragrance of zongzi wafted everywhere. Today, I can finally eat the delicious

zongzi made by my mother. Because the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

妈妈真是了不起，能做出好几种不同味道的粽子，有红枣粽子、豆子粽子、蛋黄粽子，还有我最喜欢吃的肉粽子。粽子刚一出锅，我和哥哥便你争我抢，生怕自己少吃了一个。

My mother is really amazing. She can make several kinds of zongzi with

different tastes, including red date zongzi, bean zongzi, egg yolk zongzi, and

my favorite meat zongzi. As soon as zongzi is out of the pot, my brother and I

will fight for it from you for fear that we will eat one less.

正当我们准备把粽子送入嘴里的时候，爸爸走了过来，微笑着说：”你们知道端午节为什么要吃粽子吗?“我们异口同声地回答：”为了纪念屈原!“”对!那你们知道为什么要纪念他呢?“我和哥哥你

看着我，我望着你，直摇头。”在春秋时期，爱国诗人屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但又不忍舍弃自己的祖国，所以在五月初五抱石投汨罗江身死。以后，在每年的五月初五，就有了赛龙舟

、吃粽子的风俗，以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。

Just as we were about to put zongzi into our mouths, Dad came over and

smiled and said, "do you know why we eat Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival?" we all

replied in unison, "in memory of Qu Yuan!" "yes! Then why do you remember him?"

my brother and I looked at me and I looked at you and shook our heads. " In the

spring and Autumn period, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet, saw his motherland being

invaded and his heart was cut like a knife, but he could not bear to give up his

motherland, so he threw stones into Miluo River on the fifth day of May and

died. Later, on the fifth day of May every year, there was the custom of dragon

boat racing and eating zongzi, in order to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu

Yuan. "

我和哥哥点了点头，原来端午节还有这样的意义。今天不仅吃到了香喷喷的粽子，还让我收获不少。

My brother and I nodded. It turns out that Dragon Boat Festival has such a

meaning. Today, I have not only delicious zongzi, but also a lot of harvest.

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

Most people has a sweet home, so have I. I think my home is sweet because

it is my best place to have rest or have fun with my friends or my parents.

许多人拥有一个甜蜜的家，我也有。我认为我的家是甜蜜的，因为它是我休息、与父母、朋友一起玩乐的地方。

I can remember clearly. Once I came back home late because my teacher

didnt want me leave until I finished my homework. At that time, the weather

became colder and the wind became stronger. I was so hungry and cold at that

time! I felt I cant take it any more, so I ran to my home quickly. When I got

my home, I felt much more warmer and happiness than ever before!

我可以清楚地记着。有一次，直到我完成作业，老师才肯放我回家，所以我就回来晚了。那时候，天气更冷了，风也变得更大了。在那时，我又冷又饿。我觉得自己无法承受了，所以我迅速地跑回家。当我到家的时候，我感到从未有过的温暖和幸福。

Thats why I love my sweet home. Dont you think so?

这就是为什么我爱自己的甜蜜之家。难道你不是这么认为的么?

Today is my birthday and Im so excited about it. In the morning I put a note on the table for my mum and it said, "Today is my birthday, dont forget it!" At school, I got many gifts and cards from my classmates and had a lot of fun. But I was still expecting the birthday party after school.

When it was time to leave school I couldnt wait to go home. When I open the door, there wasnt anybody in the house. There was only a note that said, "Coming home late tonight,mum and dad. "I try to call them but there was no answer.I was so shocked,do they forget my birthday?How could this be! I was so sad that I couldnt eat anything. I just did my homework and waited for them.

And then,things changed completely. It was about time for dinner, my mother called and told me to go to the restanrant near our house. When I got there I couldnt believed my eyes. Everybody was there:my parents,my relatives, my friends and even my classmates. There was so many gifts and a big cake. What a surprising birthday party! We had a good time and it was the best birthday party ever.

今天是我的生日，我很兴奋。早上我把一张纸条放在桌子上对我的妈妈说，“今天是我的生日，别忘了它！”在学校里，我从我的同学那得到了许多礼物和卡片,我很开心。但我仍然期待放学后的生日晚会。

当放学的时候，我迫不及待的想回家。当我打开门的时候，没有人在房子里。只有一张纸条，说，“今晚会晚回家，妈妈和爸爸。”我试着打电话给他们，但没有人回答。我很震惊，他们忘了我的生日？怎么会是这样！我伤心的我不能吃下任何东西。我只是做了我的家庭作业，等他们。

然后，事情发生了变化。这是吃晚饭的时间了，我的母亲打电话告诉我去我家附近的餐馆。当我到那里的时候，我不能相信我的眼睛。大家都在那儿：我的父母，我的亲人，我的朋友和我的同学。有那么多的礼物和大蛋糕。多么令人惊喜的生日派对！我们都很开心，这是最好的生日晚会。

My home have a naughty cute puppy.

The dog has a golden hair, a pair of round eyes, a pair of ears listened warily around all the suspicious sound. The dog also has a pair of sharp claws, the tail become warped up, appear very arrogant. The puppy is very fierce, as long as hear or see what a little, will be issued a "warning", ready to "fight".

My dog not only naughty, and very musical.

One day, I idle, and put up the music. Who knows, after the dog heard, dont chew bones, immediately approached the tape recorder. I suspected that the dog found the music coming from the recorder! Puppy squat down beside the tape recorder, listening to music, one side with the rhythm of the music wag their tails to place in the past, just like a little musician in command of the band...

The puppy especially love to eat cookies. I will take this opportunity to put the dog when the fish hook. I take out a slender bamboo first, then use the other side of the line is a root in bamboo, reoccupy a milk garland biscuit series, on the other side in the rope is made into "rod". I make cookies have nowhere to come over the past, the puppy dazzling, I suddenly stopped shaking, hanging the cookies from the front of the dog, the dog immediately huanguo to god, to the cookies to rush, and I move biscuits to the dog behind him, let it closed on empty air. In this way, lasted for several minutes. Dog pretend "retreat", I also immediately off guard, who know the dog quickly turned to bite cookies, fortunately, I quickly reaction, dog bites to the line. This is my puppy.

我家有一只调皮可爱的小狗。

小狗长着一身金黄色的毛，一双圆溜溜的眼睛，一对耳朵警惕地听着四周一切可疑的声音。小狗还长着一双锋利的爪子，尾巴翘得老高，显得非常傲慢。小狗也非常凶猛，只要稍微听到什么或看到什么，就会发出“警报”，做好“战斗”的准备。

我家的小狗不仅调皮，而且很富有音乐感。

一天，我闲着没事干，便放起了音乐。谁知，小狗听到后，骨头也不啃了，马上向录音机走来。我猜测，可能是小狗发现那音乐是从录音机里传出来的了!小狗在录音机旁蹲下，一边听音乐，一边随着音乐的节奏把尾巴摇过来摆过去，真像个小小音乐家在指挥着乐队……

小狗特别爱吃饼干。我就借此机会，把小狗当鱼钓。我先拿出一根细长的竹子，接着用一根线系在竹子的另一头，再用一块牛奶拉花饼干系在绳子的另一头，就做成了“鱼杆”。我把饼干晃过来晃过去，弄得小狗眼花缭乱，我突然停止摇晃，把饼干吊在小狗面前，小狗立即缓过神来，向饼干扑去，我又把饼干移到小狗身后，让它扑了个空。就这样，持续了好几分钟。小狗假装“败退”，我也随即放松了警惕，谁知小狗迅速转过身来咬饼干，幸亏我反应快，小狗只咬到线。这就是我家的小狗。

Hello!

你好!

In life, there are some things that are really difficult to say clearly; maybe one of my actions makes you have a great view; but to tell the truth, I always have an idea that good friends must not have anything to do with money; not that I am too realistic, but that there are some things, as long as the money is linked, how deep feelings will eventually be unhappy and dispersed.

人生之中，有一些事情，真的很难说清楚;也许我的一个行为，就让你产生了极大的看法;可是说实话，我一直有一个观念，好朋友之间，一定不能跟金钱有任何挂勾;不是我太现实，而是有一些事情，只要跟钱挂勾了以后，那么有多深的感情，最后都会不欢而散。

As a stable working person, I always think you should do a good job and make some achievements in your work. So when you borrow money from me to do business, I really disapprove of 10,000 people. I think people should not be too greedy in this life. Because you are an iron rice bowl person, if you do business, then your stable life will be broken. For my friend, Ive been trying to persuade you, but I believe you must have misunderstood me.

作为一个有稳定工作的你，我一直觉得你应该要好好工作，在工作上有所建树;所以当你向我借钱做生意的时候，我真的一万个不赞成;我觉得人这一生，不应该太贪心;因为你是一个端铁饭碗的人，如果做了生意以后，那么你稳定的生活，就将会被打破;所以作为朋友，我一直在劝你，但是我相信你一定误解了我。

To tell you the truth, when you ask to borrow money, I can say that I am not without money; but I think that there will be problems between friends if they have something to do with money; if you ask me to borrow money because you are in urgent need, then I will never hesitate; but if you take money to do business, then it must be risky; if you make money, then there will be risks between brothers. It must be easy to say, but if you lose money, will our relationship survive when I ask for money?

说实话，当你开口借钱的时候，我可以说，我并不是没有钱;而是我觉得，朋友之间，如果跟钱扯上关系以后，那么就一定会出问题;你要是因为急用，找我借钱，那么我决不犹豫;可是你是把钱拿去做生意，那么这一定是有风险的;如果你赚钱了，那么兄弟之间，都一定好说;可是如果你亏了，当我找你要钱的时候，我们的关系还能保存吗?

Maybe you really dont understand me very well, thats what youve always been thinking; if a person borrows money from me to do business, I wont borrow it either; if a person has difficulty borrowing money from me, I can help him borrow it without me; because I think that doing business and encountering difficulties are two different purposes; so I didnt lend money to you, so I let you see so much. Law.

也许你真的不太理解我，在一直的观念就是如此;如果一个人找我借钱做生意，我有没有我都不会借;如果一个人有困难找我借钱，我没有我都可以帮他找人借;因为我认为做生意和遇到困难，这是两个不同的用途;所以我才没有借钱给你，才让你有了那么大的看法。

You said that since then, our brotherhood has ceased; in fact, I feel very sad to hear such words; do you mean that our brotherhood is measured by money? In my opinion, you dont treat me as a brother at all; if you treat me as a brother, then I believe you wont say that and ask me to borrow money; because the real brother must be pure and never have anything to do with money.

你说从此以后，我们兄弟之情就断了;其实听到这样的话，我觉得很伤心;难道说，我们兄弟之情，就是用金钱来衡量的吗?在我看来，你根本就不把我当兄弟;如果你把我当兄弟，那么我相信你就不会说这种话，也不会找我开口借钱;因为真正的兄弟，一定是纯洁的，跟金钱永远也不会扯上关系。

In this society, money is really not a good thing; if you dont have money, people will look down on you, and if you have money, they will borrow it from you; if you have it, what is it? But when I cant borrow it, then I will become an enemy between brothers and friends, so instead of becoming an enemy in the end, why dont I borrow it from the beginning?

在这个社会之中，钱这个东西，真的不是一个好东西;没钱那么别人看不起你，有钱别人又要找你借;有借有还，这还没有什么?可是当借了以后，还不起的时候，那么兄弟之间，朋友之间，就会成了为仇人;所以与其最后都会成为仇人，那么我何不从一开始，就不要借。

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of the han. It is a very important festival in our hometown, so every year the Dragon Boat Festival is very busy.

The Dragon Boat Festival is the most indispensable, nature is zongzi, every year the grandmother of the Dragon Boat Festival and everyone will pack hundreds of big dumplings! There are many kinds of dumplings, such as reed leaves, bamboo shoots, wild leaves and lotus leaves. But our hometown is a lot of reeds, so most of them are wrapped in reeds. First, grandma "rate the army" to pick reed leaves. When picking reed leaves, a large family listens to grandmothers labor trumpet: "come on! A zongzi three leaf! Hundreds of zongzi thousands of pieces, hey, come on!" Listen to the drum of the "general", "little soldier" more effort! After the reed leaves, just burn them. But the preparation material is not so simple, still have to go to the bazaar to buy the good red bean, the pork, the peanut, the plate millet, the jujube and the glutinous rice, also buy the red line!

Of course, the most fun time is when you make zongzi. When making zongzi, the man is responsible for cutting the meat into small pieces. Women are responsible for the washing of red beans and glutinous rice. The child was responsible for washing the basin clean, and then putting the mans work in a large basin. The older people are in charge. When everything is ready, the dumplings are started. The adults are working harder, and the kids? Is playing in a side, always when the adults do not pay attention to, to steal a couple of dates, mouth on the surface seems to be a little things didnt do, but in my heart secretly complacent - because jujube is delicious!

The final step is boiled dumplings, grandpa always keep the temperature of fire to grasp well, smell very sweet, very strong, if eating zongzi in the first, you can see the meat dumplings are always tender oil and see jujube rice dumplings are always the golden tender; The eight-treasure zongzi is always delicious, and we are cute.

Last year, my grandparents might have made zongzi, if they hadnt taken care of my uncle and aunt in yancheng. I was suddenly "disgusted" with my uncle, aunt, who had a good economic condition, why not find a babysitter? Take my joyful Dragon Boat Festival and zongzi all "take away", I be so angry! Or miss the delicious dumplings!

端午节是汉族的传统节日。在我们的家乡算得上是个特别重要的节日，所以每年的端午节都过得异常热闹。

端午节最不可少的，自然是粽子，每年端午节外婆和大家都会包上几百个大粽子呢!包粽子虽然有很多种，比如芦苇叶、竹笋叶、菰叶、藕叶等。但我们的家乡是芦苇比较多，所以大多都用芦苇叶包了。首先，外婆“率兵”去采芦苇叶。采芦苇叶时，一大家子听着外婆的劳动号子：“加油!一个粽子三片叶子!上百个粽子几千片，嘿哟，加油!”听了“将军”的鼓劲，“小兵”们更加卖力了!采完芦苇叶，现在只要将它们暴晒就行了。但准备材料可没有这么简单哟，还得去集市上买来上好的红豆、猪肉、花生、板粟、蜜枣与糯米，还要买红线呢!

当然，最好玩的时候还是包粽子的时候。包粽子时，男人负责把肉切成不大不小的块儿;女人负责洗红豆、糯米之类的;小孩负责把大盆洗干净，再把大人加工好的东西装在大盆里;而老人们则负责指挥。一切准备好之后，就开始包粽子了。大人们干得格外卖力，而小孩们呢?却在一旁玩着，总是在大人们不注意时，偷一两颗蜜枣往嘴里塞，表面上似乎一点儿事都没做，可心里却暗暗自喜——因为蜜枣太好吃了!

最后一步就是煮粽子，烧火的外公总是把火候把握的很好，味道很香、很浓，如果在第一时间内吃粽子，你看到的肉粽子总是嫩地流油，看到的蜜枣粽子总是金黄柔嫩;看到的八宝粽子总是很可口，我们可爱吃了。

去年，要不是为了去盐城替舅舅、舅妈照顾表哥，外公外婆可能在包粽子哩。我突然有些“厌恶”舅舅、舅妈，他们家的经济条件不错，为什么不找个保姆?把我的欢乐端午节和粽子都“夺走了”，我好生气呀!也好怀念那味香色美的粽子呀!
