译文

我已经休息了10天。在这些日子里,我感到非常无聊。我不知道要做什么。虽然我有很多事情要做,我觉得不舒服。我生病是因为炎热的天气。我累了,困了,没有力量。我的父母担心我的健康。事实上,它并不重要。我总是在房间里空调和打开了它在一个较低的温度。所以当我出去,高温不同意我。最后,我病了。

Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure.

Both our feelings and our bodies get upset.

We can even get emotionally and physically sick if we have too much stress

for too long. Stress can come at us from every direction. For instance, it can

come from fights with other people. It can come when we have too many things to

do and too little time to do them. It can also come when we do not have enough

money to pay for what we want. Since stress can make us sick, we have to learn

how to deal with it. There are good ways and bad ways to do so. We should deal

with stress in good ways, of course. Good ways to cut down on stress include

changing our lifestyles. For example, we can learn either to get along with

people or to stay away from them. We can decide what to do now, what to do

later, and what to leave off doing forever.

We can also figure out how to get money or we can cut down on what we want.

We should not deal with stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on

stress just lead to more troubles, for example, skipping out and leaving our

work undone, blaming our problems on someone else, stealing or cheating.

Dear Miss Zhu,

亲爱的周老师，

How time flies! It has been a few years since I left high school, but I still remember you in my heart, because you’re the best teacher in my mind. It’s not only because you taught me knowledge, but also you taught me how to study. I have really benefitted a lot from you. So I would like to express my great thanks to you, and share my life in college with you.

时间飞逝!我高中毕业已经几年了，但我仍然把你记在我的心里，因为你是我心目中最好的老师。这不仅是因为你教与我知识，而且你还教我如何学习。从你身上我真的获益匪浅。所以我想向你表达我的感谢，并与你分享我的大学生活。

Now I’m studying in Hunan First Normal College, which is Chairman Mao’s former school. I major in English, because I find it so fun and interesting. As far as I’m concerned, our English Department is the best department in our college. The teachers in our department are knowledgeable, experienced, and warm-hearted. And my classmates are nice, friendly and helpful. Thus, I have a good atmosphere to study. When I have difficulties in study, I always ask my teachers for help or discuss with my classmates. Through their help, I have made great progress in my English study.

我现在在湖南第一师范学校学习，这是主席之前呆过的学校。我的专业是英语，因为我觉得它很有趣。我觉得我们英语系是我校最好的学部。我们系的老师知识渊博，经验丰富，热心肠。我的同学们也很和蔼，友好，乐于助人。因此，我拥有一个很好的学习氛围。当我在学习上遇到困难时，我总是向我的老师寻求帮助或与同学讨论。在他们的帮助下，我在英语学习上取得了很大的进步。

College life is much different from high school life. In college, we should acquire knowledge as well as improve our integrated abilities. There are a lot of English classes for us to learn, such as Basic English, Oral English, Listening, Reading, Writing, Translation, Grammar, English Literature, and so on. I enjoy these classes very much. Except English, we have many other subjects to learn. Life seems so busy here but it’s so fruitful for me.

大学生活与高中生活有很大的不同。在大学，我们要获取知识也要提高我们的综合能力。我们要上很多的英语课，比如，基础英语，英语口语，听力阅读，写作，翻译，语法，英语文学等。我非常喜欢这些课。除英语外，我们还要学习很多其他科目。在这里生活是如此的忙碌，但这对我来说是如此丰硕的收获。

After class, I usually go to the English Corner. There I can practice my oral English by talking with foreigners or chatting with my schoolmates. Now, I’m able to communicate with foreigners well. Sometimes I also take part in some social activities. For instance, last weekend I attended an interesting play. As it was my first performance, I felt a little nervous at the beginning. But when I appeared on the stage, I made every audience laugh happily. I was so proud of myself at that moment, because this was my first achievement.

下课后，我经常去英语角。在那里我可以通过与外国人或我的同学聊天来练习我的英语口语。现在我可以很好的和外国人交流了。有时候我也可以参加一些社交活动。例如，上周我参加了一个有趣的表演。因为是我第一次表演，所以一开始的时候我觉得有点紧张。但当我出现在舞台上时，我让每一个观众都开心的笑了。在那一刻，我为我自己感到骄傲，因为这是我的第一个收获。

What about your present life? I hope to hear from you soon.

你目前生活怎么样呢?希望很快能收到你的回信。

At last, I hope everything goes well with you. Please give my best regards to your family.

最后，我希望你一切顺利。请代我向你的家人问好。

Sincerely yours,

Jason

Recently, it has been reported that a boy argued with his father and then

he left home and the policed found him, taking him home after half a month. It

sounds so ridiculous for the boy to leave home for such a long time, but

thinking further, the lack of communication between the father and the son makes

this joke. There always some people wonder why we need to get higher education,

because we may not earn money as much as the workers. In my opinion, the purpose

of education is not for the money, but for the better person we will become. If

the father knows how to communicate with his son and his son is considerate,

then things wouldn’t become so bad. We need receive education and become the

wise person, so we can communicate better and create a harmonious

environment.

哎哟喂，雨真大啊，把雨衣爷爷吹得飞来飞去……

Hey, its raining hard. Blow grandpas raincoat

around.

雨，是个常见的自然景物，雨衣爷爷呢，他，就是为我们风吹挡雨的——好爷爷。他，为人们服务。今天，他就为特殊的人服务——那就是我和妈妈，特殊吧，嘻嘻，我和妈妈开始，可以挡过一阵，后来，雨加速了，又迎来了大大的风;呼呼呼呼……刚开始，是小雨，滴滴嗒嗒，小雨依然下着，好像在说;哈哈哈，我又来到人间啦，嘻嘻。呜，一阵风把它们刮得老大，这回，逼我和妈妈拿出——雨衣爷爷，来挡雨，噢，no，雨衣爷爷也挡不住，自己被风刮来刮去，似乎在说;哎哟，我的老骨头，孩子，我坚持不住啦。就这样，伴随风，回到家，脚淋湿了。

Rain,

good Grandpa. He, serve people. Today, he serves for special people - that is,

my mother and I, special bar, hee hee, my mother and I started to block for a

while, later, the rain accelerated, and ushered in a big wind; whirring At the

beginning, it was drizzle, ticking, drizzle was still falling, as if to say;

hahaha, I came to the world again, hee hee. Oh, a gust of wind has blown them to

the top. This time, my mother and I are forced to take them out - grandpa

raincoat, to block the rain, oh, no, Grandpa raincoat cant block it, he is

blown around by the wind, as if to say; ouch, my old bone, my child, I cant

hold on. In this way, with the wind, back home, feet

The summer vacation had come round again.

暑假又来了。

I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it.

对于一个学生的我来说，又能把学校这个字眼抛掷脑后一段时间了；^_^；对于这个暑假，我给自己定了如下计划：

First, I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them.

首先，我会把老师教过的课本，重新温习一次，以便于我能对其有更为深入、彻底的了解。

Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running rowing, to keep me physically strong.

其次，我会锻炼身体；比如，走走路啊，跑步啥的，这样我的身体会更加强壮。

It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.

对于给自己定的这个暑假计划，我会尽力去做到最好。 我认为我也能做到。因为，我给自己做了严格的计划。

昨天晚上下了淅淅沥沥的小雨，让本来就说不上炎热的天气瞬间多了几分凉意。一阵阵冷风吹过来还是让人不禁打了一个寒颤。

第二天早上，天依旧没有放晴，天空也依旧在飘着小雨，只是风更大了些。老实说，我并不喜欢阳光明媚的日子，因为我的眼睛对阳光反应比较强烈。所以相比较而言阴天的感觉更适合我。再者，我认为阴天有一种比较凄美的感觉，而我又比较喜欢喜欢一种有点小凄凉的感觉，所以飘着雨的阴天无疑是我最喜欢的天气。

看着阴沉沉的天气，我的心情却是相当的不错。一边看着窗外的小雨，一边盘算着今天该怎么过。我并不是特别喜欢放假，因为放假的时候总会让我有一种无所事事的负罪感。但是今天我打算出去走走。

穿好衣服，我走了出去。天空中飘着不算大的毛毛雨，打在人的肌肤上，有一种很舒服的感觉。因为下了一夜的雨，路上比较泥泞。空气中有着雨后特有味道，混着泥土和青草的味道让人闻了有一种很精神的感觉。道路两边的粗壮高耸的梧桐的叶子，也因为雨水的缘故，洗去了往日的灰尘，在水珠的折射下，显得更加绿油油的。一切都显得十分和谐。天空中不时传来一声声鸟鸣，在这雨中的空气中显得那么清脆悦耳，好似在赞颂叶子的美丽。我找了一处凉亭坐下，看着被雨水洗涮的一切，心里感觉很安静，我拿出了手机，选了几首自己喜爱的舒缓歌曲播放，我很享受这种感觉，静静地，与世无争的自在。没有人来打扰这一刻属于我的安静，感觉真的很美妙，我可以感受到空气在我的皮肤上流动，我可以听见每一颗雨滴打在树叶上的声音。

阴天快乐。

My after-school life colorful, you can play the zither, painting, gardening ......

One of my favorite painting, a painting because I have brought joy and love, he may be arranged in the room, the room was dolled up neatly. Painting can bring happiness, as long as you like to be able to learn to be happy. If you can spare so, I would feel happy.

我的课余生活丰富多彩，可以弹古筝，画画，种花……

其中我最喜欢画画 ，因为画画个我带来了乐趣和喜爱，他可以布置房间，把房间布置得漂漂亮亮，整整齐齐。画画还能给人带来快乐，只要你喜欢就能从中得到快乐。如果你的课余能这样的话，我就会感到高兴。

[简单英语日记带翻译课余生活

With the improvement of our living standard， more and more people can afford a car. As a result，our roads are more often than not crammed with cars.

However，with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars，the problem of air pollution bees even more serious. So nowadays we advocate to lead a low-carbon life.

My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars.By riding a bike， we can not only exercise our body but also protect our environment.

Why not have a try， my dear friends?

与我们的生活水平的提高，越来越多的人都买得起汽车的。因此，道路往往没有堆满了汽车。然而，随着越来越多的废气排放是汽车、空气污染问题变得更加严重。所以此刻我们提倡过低碳的生活。

我的推荐是我们就应更经常骑自行车而不是开车骑一辆自行车，我们不仅仅能锻炼身体，也能保护我们的环境。为什么不试试，我亲爱的朋友?

Our motherland has a long history, many traditional festivals, and some unique folk customs. But my favorite traditional festival is the Spring Festival. Chinese New Years eve, the Spring Festival also arrived, the New Year began.

On New Years eve, it was very lively, and every family was making New Years dishes, and the smell of the wine was everywhere. Men and women, old and young, were wearing new clothes, and a red and red couplet was affixed to the door. On New Years eve, the lights are on all night. People who do things outside will have to come home for a reunion dinner unless they have to. This night, apart from very small children, no one is going to sleep at the same time. The scene of the Spring Festival was different from that of New Years eve: the shops were boarded, and the last nights firecrackers were piled up in front of the door, and the whole city was resting. The men went to visit their relatives and friends before noon. The women received guests at home. Outside the city, many temples hold temple fairs. Vendors sell tea, food and toys outside the temple. Children especially love to go to the temple fair, so that they can have a chance to go outside the city to see the wild scenery, can ride a donkey, and also can buy New Years unique toys. The temple fair has horse racing and camel racing. These contests are not for the first who is second, but for the good posture and skill of the horse, camel and rider in front of the audience. The sky is full of colors. Will put every year before the fireworks began, every family put their most beautiful fireworks in the sky, fireworks bursting in the black night sky, a than a bright, the sky seems to be holding a beauty contest.

How beautiful! All the people stopped at that moment, only to hear the exclamations of the fireworks, the adults faces showed the innocence of the smile, and began to recall their happy childhood. At the same time, we all quietly made a wish: I hope this year I can be admitted to a high school with a good result! New Year, new beginning. I hope that all the students in the sixth grade will work together to create their own future with a good grade.

我们祖国有悠久的历史，有着许多传统节日，还有一些各具特色的民风民俗。但我最喜欢的传统节日是：春节。除夕过了，春节也就到了，新的一年开始了。

除夕那天真热闹，家家赶做年菜，到处是酒肉的香味。男女老少都穿起新衣，门外贴上了红红的对联，屋里贴好了各色的年画。除夕夜家家灯火通宵，不许间断，鞭炮声日夜不绝。在外边做事的人除非万不得已，必定赶回家来吃团圆饭。这一夜，除了很小的孩子，没有什么人睡觉都要守岁。春节的光景与除夕那天截然不同：铺户都上着板子，门前堆着昨夜燃放的爆竹纸皮，全城都在休息。男人们午前到亲戚家朋友家拜年。女人们在家中接待客人。城内城外许多寺院举办庙会，小贩们在庙外摆摊卖茶，食品和各种玩具。小孩子们特别爱逛庙会，为的是有机会到城外看看野景，可以骑毛驴，还能买到新年特有的玩具。庙会上有赛马的，还有赛骆驼的。这些比赛并不为争谁第一谁第二，而是在观众面前表演马，骆驼与骑者的美好姿态与娴熟技能。“嘭”天空中五颜六色的。原来每年必放的烟花开始了，家家户户都把自家最美的烟花放上了天空，烟花在黑色的夜空中绽开来，一个比一个光彩夺目，天空中似乎正在举行一场选美比赛。

美极了！所有人顿时停留在了那一刻，只听到烟花绽放时的惊叹声，大人们脸上露出了童真的笑容，开始回忆起自己的美好童年。同时，我们都悄悄许了愿望：希望今年我能以一个优秀的成绩考上一座中学！新的一年，新的开始。希望今年六年级的同学都一齐努力，用一个好成绩来创造自己的未来。

Communicating with others is a big problem in daily life. Some people are

easy to talk to oters, but some others not. When you want to talk to someone,

firstly you should find some topics to talk about, but the topics should not

included the privacy,such as age, marriage or wage. Secondly, pay attention to

your attitude that do not make others feel uncomfortable. Comfort is the basic

of communication. Thirdly, pay attention to your body language. Body language

can transmit much information, such as your attitude, manners or something you

do not realize. Finally, focus on your pacing. Dont talk too fast or too

slow.

Its getting hotter and hotter, and the pace of summer vacation is

approaching. How I long to have a happy summer vacation full of freedom! So, my

heart will quietly play a small abacus

First of all, I want to get rid of the big boss in the summer vacation -

summer homework! Because as long as there is it, the whole summer vacation will

be like spent in prison! So, according to the lessons of the previous three

summers, I decided to compress them into a period of 16 days that was full of

pain!

Of course, every parent who wants his son to become a dragon and his

daughter to become a phoenix will surely let the children go to cram school,

whether you like it or not. Well, at least ten days. At most, it depends on the

situation. I also hope to eliminate it!

To say, these are all unpleasant things. If there is a little episode in

the middle, such as swimming or eating ice cream, it can be regarded as a good

adjustment.

However, because my birthday is spent in the summer vacation, so Im going

to have a party and have a big liberation! Buy a big birthday cake is a must,

please some very good friends, and then crazy play, until tired down so far

When all the busy things are over, the rest is playing! My mother is going

to take me to an English summer camp. Every day there are many colorful

activities, such as swimming, parachute jumping, jungle jumping, cycling and so

on.

Of course, this holiday, I also want to learn from my grandparents and

learn how to cook all kinds of delicious dishes. I also need to learn how to

cook noodles. In this way, I wont have to go out and "forage" when my parents

are away!

This summer vacation, the more you think about it, the more beautiful it

is. Do you admire me? Ha ha, lets plan together!

My mother is a good woman. She is very good for me. Everyday she gives me a good breakfast. Then we go to my school, when I go to my class, she goes to work.

I love my mother!

Every night, she and I go to my room. She says: “Good night! Jenny.” “Good night!” I say. Then she goes to her room.

I love my mother!

During her work time, she does not rest. But she still picks me up at school everyday. When we get home, she gives me some milk and some beak. Then I go to my bed.

I love my mother very much!
