享受英文,悦读原著

全文共 628 字

据说,在英语流行开来的时候,许多欧洲人纷纷开始学习。目的很明确:读英语小说原文。一方面,这是一种审美的需求,另一方面,这也是社会阶层的划分依据:从此,身边的人分为两种,即能读英语小说原著的,和不能用英语阅读小说的人。在这样的目的驱使下,可想而知学习效率会如何之高。

最近在学习英国文学史,下载了海量的英美小说和诗歌。可以这么说,不读小说,不知英文的精妙,不读诗歌,不知英文的优雅与靓丽。

当下国人学习英语的目标,个人认为,不是纯粹的审美层面的。或是为了高考、大学英语四六级之类的等级考试,或是为了留学考试。真正静下心来,读一首英文诗歌,或许你会爱上英文的。

可以说,我的英语学习是为“雪耻”,小学的时候英语考试睁眼瞎,题都读不懂。到了初中,凭借优秀的语文和数学成绩,进入了英语实验班——是的,有一些滑稽。于是,在老师的悉心、严格的教学下,在我的努力下,英语终于按部就班地提高起来。中考英语以146分位居年级第一,进入了理想的直升班。

现在回想起来,简单的动机,为我打下了坚实的英语基础。当时,最开心的事情,就是每周的英语考试,可以读到新鲜热辣的时文。

不过,与那些英语原版世界名著相比,英语说明文就显得黯然失色了。当然,那些来自于《时代》周刊的英文消息,是很值得玩味的。至今记得那篇略显晦涩的对乔伊斯《尤利西斯》的报道。

今天,又窝在家里听英国文学史,打开一本诗集,顿时沉醉其中。

如果,能够以审美的维度,重新审视英语学习,我想,大家对英语学习的兴致,大概会浓厚很多了。

参考翻译

今天是星期五,学校为我们六年级的同学特意举办了一次圣诞节活动。刚一进教室,我就看到了一片帽子的海洋。只见我们班同学都穿上了自己最好看的衣服,有的同学甚至还扮成了“圣诞老人”——戴着长长的假胡子、穿着红白相间的衣服。

“叮铃铃”,中午上课的铃声一打响,我们就迫不及待地跑到了操场,偌大的操场顿时热闹起来,同学们纷纷拿着自己的游戏卡在各个“关卡”前来回穿梭。我也和同学罗童尧快速地写上了“新年的一句话”,看到说祝福语的地方没人,就立即跑了过去。我们来到照相机前,面带微笑地说:“致圣诞的祝福,祝你圣诞快乐!”接着,我们又去找薛博文去“英语风采”一表演笑话《Intherestaurant》。

我的心砰砰跳着来到台前,面对这么多观众,我有些害怕,不过我很快就又镇静下来,用流利的英语说出了开场白,也许是在我的带动下,下面的演出十分顺利。就拿中间的一段来说吧,当服务员的罗童尧多次给薛博文“换汤”,还不时说:“对不起,先生。”而既是厨师,又是经理的我,则把动作做得十分形象,得到了大家的赞叹和掌声。

最令人激动的时刻到了,我们来到了最后一关,和“老外”对话。只见那两个人都是金黄色的头发、高高的鹰钩鼻子、连眼睛也是跟天一样的蓝色。我来到他面前,他对我说:“Hi!DoyoulikeEnglish?”我回答:“Yes,Ido!”接着,他又问了我圣诞节我干什么,在我回答完后,他十分高兴给了我三粒糖,还说:“Goodjob!”英语老师说,他认为我回答的非常好。

游戏很快就结束了,我们恋恋不舍地离开了操场。

篇20:香港旅游英文作文

全文共 4109 字

Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions (SARs) of the Peoples Republic of China, along with Macau. Comprising more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east, west and south.

Hong Kong was a Crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of sovereignty to the Peoples Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong will operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of "one country, two systems", the Central Peoples Government is responsible for the territorys defence and foreign affairs, while Hong Kong maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.

Hong Kong is frequently described as a city where East meets West, a meeting reflected in its economic infrastructure, education, legal system and street culture. On one street corner, there may be traditional Chinese shops selling Chinese herbal medicine, Buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. But around the next, one may find theatres showing the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a British-style pub, a Catholic Church or Ronald McDonald inviting passer-bys to a Big Mac. The territorys official language is Chinese and English; signs in both languages are omnipresent throughout Hong Kong. The government, police and most workplaces and stores conduct business bilingually. British rule may have ended a decade ago but Western culture is deeply ingrained in Hong Kong and coexists seamlessly with traditional philosophy and practices of the Orient.

Hong Kong has an active nightlife centred on two major entertainment districts, Lan Kwai Fong (Central) and Wan Chai. Both areas are frequented by expatriates and locals alike. For a more quiet evening, a trip to Victoria Peak offers a spectacular view of the city. There is also a promenade along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, which is popular among young Chinese couples. Shopping, a form of entertainment for the people of Hong Kong, is even done at nighttime as evident in the Temple Street Night Market where one can also catch free performances of Peking opera.

The citys cosmopolitan flavour can also be seen in the wide variety of cuisines available. While different varieties of Chinese selections, especially seafood, are most popular, there are also many European, American, Japanese, Korean, and other restaurants. Ethnic dishes served in cha chaan teng and dai pai dong are also popular. The people of Hong Kong take their food seriously and many top chefs make their way to the city to show off their talents to these discerning diners.

While Hong Kong is a global centre of trade, perhaps the citys most famous export is its entertainment industry, particularly in the martial arts genre. Several top-notch Hollywood performers originate from Hong Kong cinema -- Bruce Lee, Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li and Leslie Cheung, to name a few. Behind the camera, Hong Kong filmmakers have also struck fortune in Hollywood such as John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Tsui Hark and martial arts choreographers who have designed fight scenes in the Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Back in Hong Kong, several homegrown films have also gained international recognition such as Chungking Express, Infernal Affairs, Shaolin Soccer, Rumble in the Bronx and In the Mood for Love. Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has said hes strongly influenced by Hong Kong action cinema.

The Hong Kong government also supports cultural institutions such as the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Furthermore, the governments Leisure and Cultural Services Department also subsidizes and sponsors the bringing of international performers to Hong Kong.
