远逝的英文(合集20篇)

An October Sunrise 十月的日出

I was up the next morning be fore the October sunrise, and away through the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder heavily over the edge of grey mountain and wavering length of upland. Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped, and crept to crept to the hollow places; then stole away in line and column, holding skirts, and clinging subtly at the sheltering corners where rock hung over grassland, while the brave lines of the hills came forth, one beyond other gliding.

The woods arose in folds, like drapery of awakened mountains, stately with a depth of awe, and memory of the tempests. Autumn’s mellow hand was upon them, as they owned already, touched with gold and red and olive, and their joy towards the sun was less to a bridegroom than a father.

Yet before the floating impress of the woods could clear it self, suddenly the gladsome light leaped over hill and valley, casting amber, blue, and purple, and a tint of rich red rose; according to the scene they lit on, and the curtain flung around; yet all alike dispelling fear and the cloven hoof of darkness, all on the wings of hope advancing, and proclaiming, “God is here!” then life and joy sprang reassured from every crouching hollow; every flower, and bud and bird had a fluttering sense of them; and all the flashing of God’s gaze merged into soft beneficence.

So, perhaps, shall break upon us that eternal morning, when crag and chasm shall be no more, neither hill and valley, nor great unvintaged ocean; but all things shall arise, and shine in the light of the Father’s countenance, because itself is risen.

I have many hobbies, such as playing computer games, reading comics, going shopping. I also like playing pingpong very much. I have a friend. His name is JooZone. He is crazy about playing pingpong, too. If we have free time, we often play pingpong together. 2010 summer holiday, he took me to a sports centre. Then we played pingpong together, but he always lost. He was very angry. He said to me, “I will beat you in a month.”“OK. We will have a match at that time.” After a month, when I talked to him about it, he answered, “I forgot the thing! I dont want to have a match with you.” I was very surprised and angry and said, “Oh, youre a forgetful boy!”

For going on with my further studies, I took the entrance examination in a Senior Middle School last week. I still remember there were more than three hundred candidates taking part in this examination. For the first day, in the morning, Chinese was easy. We were required to write a composition of 250 words on "My Home Life", and give definitions and illustrations to twenty phrases. In the afterno on, we took an English examination. There were dictation, sentence formation, and analysis for oral English. In the oral examination, I was questioned about my home life, my experience in the junior middle school and my future prospects.

On the second day, we were examined on history and geography in the morning and physics and chemistry in the afternoon.

为了进一步学习，我上周在一所高中参加了入学考试。我还记得参加考试的有300多人，第一天上午，语文很简单，我们要写一篇250字的作文，关于“我的家庭生活”，并解释20个短语。下午，我们考英语，有听力，造句，分析口语。口语考试时，我被问道我的生活，中学经历以及未来的希望。

第二天，我们早上考历史、地理，下午考物理、化学。

March 5th is my birthday. It`s also a special day to memorize a great person -- Lei Feng. This year I celebrated my birthday in a different way. In the morning, I got up early and cooked breakfast for my parents. At school, I helped my desk-mates to repair their broken chairs. After school, I took my birthday cake to the home for the aged. The old men were so happy to see me. All o~ them hoped that I would be back again.

20 June 2006

Dear Mr. Seaton，

Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to London. It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other famous sights. If Id gone alone, I couldnt have seen nearly as much, because I wouldnt have known my way about.

The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare. I still remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate. During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the afternoon and be windy before the night falls. So I think I was lucky.

I think the river trip was the best thing of all. London really came alive for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to Greenwich. It was all tremendously exciting - a day that I shall never forget.

Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen

With the last breath of my soul I’ll be blessing you. 在我灵魂最后的呼吸中我祝福你。

You’re always there for me.当我需要你时你永远在那里。

You know my loneliness is only kept for you, my sweet songs are only sung for you.你可知我百年的孤寂只为你一人守侯，千夜的恋歌只为你一人而唱。

When love is not madness, it is not love.如果爱不疯狂就不是爱了。

When every love comes to the end, if u look back, u will find flowers and sorrows, but it’s always beautiful.不是把对方留在自己身边才叫爱，能放手让所爱的人离开，也是爱的一种。

what a loveiy world it well be with you away.没有了你．这个世界多么寂寞。

We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.如果没有人爱我们，我们也就不会再爱自己了。

To see a world in a grain of sand. And a heaven in a wild flower.从一粒沙子看到一个世界,从一朵野花看到一个天堂。

this valentine is for the girl who stole my heart.这份情人节礼物，是送给那位偷去我的心的女孩。

There will always be people who’ll hurt you, so you need to continue trusting,just be careful.生活中总会有伤害你的人，所以你仍然需要继续相信别人，只是小心些而已。

This morning, i take my first taste on seeking family education with a high heart-lever. in latest, i have summonned up my encourage to carry out this travel, and regulate myself that i will not do work at a payment lowing 20rmb per hour at least for self-thought that i am hold an impressive proficiency of english and an outstanding condition.

after a string of waiting time, i welcame the first customer, a couple. leading a mutual chinchin, our talking seemed going smoothly before refering to the wages. the man said:" how much you want get per hour." i though deeply and gave a reply:" ok, 20 is moderate." the women interfered:" but i have noticed that other tutors just require for a specific pay under 15!" i promptly conscioused that all my particularly excellent conditions descend to an ignorable position when refering to wealth. merely i can leave an so-called engagement for excluding unexpective circumstances...

yes, i am on the way of reaching adultness, the bricks-and-mortar world is not as absolute as i believe. not a popular character i can be only in own mind. yes, i should on days ahead conduct every step on the sea-lever. illusion is virtual, my agenda is need to be foot by foot. i am sure that one day current days are abount to become to what i fantasize now!

Mr. Louis is my Chinese teacher. She was of medium height, slender, with two eyebrows on her lanky face, a pair of squinting eyes, and a pair of pink glasses on her high nose, about thirty years old. Her speech was vivid and vivid in class, her tone was cadenced and her emotions were real. People are kind and strict.

I remember that it was one of the things that happened early on, and I came to the school early in the morning and put my exercise books on the table, and I happily picked up the Chinese book and read aloud the text aloud.

After about a quarter of an hour or so, Mr. Louis walked into the classroom with a smile on his face, went up to the lectern, took out the red pen and handed the students the homework. After more than ten books, I found that the teachers face gradually changed from sunny to cloudy, and some of my classmates workbooks were taken to the stage. When it was my turn, my heart was both happy and afraid. I was glad that the teacher could see the homework I had finished. The fear is that the teacher will also take away my exercise book. Not sure enough, I saw the workbook lying on the table, trying to get it down, but it was impossible.

After class, the teacher overlooks his face and says to us, "if you want to have a workbook, please come to my office." Then he picked up the book and went away. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still not happy. I didnt know what was waiting for me: reprimand, criticism, praise... Oh, I dont think so.

After the second lesson, I and the students went to the teachers office and prepared to be taught. Who knows, the teacher changed the normal, kindly say: "last night go back why dont finish earnestly, ask you a few to correct the error in the workbook." Several of us took the exercise books nervously and fell on the teachers desk to correct them all. Then, let the teacher see again. Then the teacher smiled and said, "thats right. The people who read more should pay attention, the homework also cannot be careless!" We listened, and the mood was like a stone falling to the ground and running out of the office.

You say, how can such a teacher not let us like?

Mom:

I have not written to you for at least twelve years. I did not expect to

write to you about such a thing in the third year after your son went to

work.

Have you any idea how I felt after I answered the phone from dad this

evening? I didnt expect that you should be angry with your son for such a thing

and make the whole family uneasy.

I called you last Saturday, you said your cell phone will be out of

service, I said mom, I will give you a few days to pay the phone fee. Although

you said no, I still insist that I will pay for you in a few days. Actually,

this matter son is to have a fault, did not pay mobile phone fee for you

immediately. That morning we just finished invigilating a Chinese exam, there

was no invigilation in the afternoon, so I accompanied your daughter-in-law to

go shopping. True, there were a lot of mobile offices on the road, but I just

didnt stop. Not intentionally, but the son really forgot, really forgot to pay

for you. Maybe because we havent come out for a long time, we havent come out

from the 15th day of the first lunar month to last Saturday, because the weather

is bad, it always rains, and most importantly, we dont have much time. As a

matter of fact, you know your son is busy with his work. Your son is leading the

graduating class for the first time this year. He has two Chinese classes and a

head teacher. Your daughter-in-law is taking two classes in English. The most

important thing is that your daughter-in-law has been pregnant for four months.

You all know that. Because there are only 80 days to go before the college

entrance examination, and our school did not do well in the second simulation

exam, the class your son teaches only scored medium in this exam, the class

teacher and teacher who did poorly in this exam will write a review, and the

principal will personally hold a teacher symposium for your class. Your son is a

young man who just started to work. I think highly of this job. You have also

taught your son to be a success, and your son is working hard in this direction.

Dont I work so hard just to argue for you?

I just mentioned that your daughter-in-law is four months pregnant, so now

she is the key object of protection in our family. In the family where I work,

there are only two of us living and everything in the family is left to me. If I

dont buy food for a day, I have no food for a day. No matter when I come home

at noon every day, I always have to cook at home, and no matter what time I come

home every night, I have to cook dinner. No matter how tired your son is, the

POTS and bowls are always washed by your son. Mom, my son is so tired.

The pressure from work has made my son a little out of breath. Really,

every morning at 6:30 am to the class to guard the students morning reading, I

take Chinese class, Monday on Friday there is also a language morning reading,

also asked to sit in the class, the middle should guard the students on 9:50 to

10:20 small self-study, generally from 6:30 am to work to 11 o clock can go

home from work. Sometimes I have my fourth class and I get home at twelve o

clock sharp. But still silently suffer. After having lunch at noon, my son will

come to the class at about one o clock to watch over the students for their

lunch break. In the afternoon also asked to sit, of course, there are afternoon

classes, the son still have to go.

Sometimes go home after school is 5:35, at six o clock or so will be to

the class to watch the students late practice, and night self-study, night back

home is 11:00 more, mother, son very tired.

Mom, I think very selfishly, I dont want to grow up, because when I was a

child, you will take care of me, I dont have to worry about food and clothing.

I did not expect to grow up so much trouble, so much pressure. Life a lot of

things to me, all the ups and downs to fall on the shoulders of my a person,

mother ah, my favorite mom, son grew up, the son is responsible for the society

and school family give me, but the son, after all, or the son, your son, after

all, only 27 years old, 27 of how I felt as a child, although I have a family,

as the RenFu, soon as parents, but I always so young shoulders pressure big,

mother, son, really very tired very tired.

Mom, your son is a man. How can he tell anyone these words? Even your

daughter-in-law sometimes doesnt feel the pressure of your son. Mother, how I

want to sit down, sit on your side to and you happy talk, son want to let you

listen to not know more, want you also to share the sons a little bit more,

but, son always too busy to go home during the Spring Festival is just eat a

meal, and busy with relatives happy New Year, what time to sit down and talk to

you? Mother, my good mother, your son and you have many times in the dream chat,

your son and you are the most conversable ah, I remember when I was a child in

your side, but I told you everything. Remember the second day, the son of a girl

for you and write a love letter to the photos, your son is told the others write

love letter things to you, later, or you help the idea of rejected this door

"good thing", there are a lot of things son was willing to share with you, oh,

mother, as time goes by slowly, your son is also grew up in slowly. By the

original at your side, then went to college in xinxiang, then went to college in

xinyang, to the present work, gradually away from you, the son of you always not

in your side, although a week is also a two telephone, although every time is 20

minutes of talk time, but you still cant share all your son, gradually, mom,

you have misunderstood your son.

Son really wanted to give you money, but is in this Wednesday, because I

change a day of the examination paper on Sunday, the Sunday afternoon to

supervise, and on Sunday night self-study, that one day, your son at the end of

the volume change is very sick, because 170 Chinese papers, want to change down

in most, it is not easy, on Monday, the time you have two classes in the

morning, the son of, to do morning reading and research meeting to be held in

the afternoon, on Monday night I have night self-study, is four lessons on

Tuesday, Wednesday, when I said go to pay the phone bill for you, but this time

your phone has been through. I called you several times last night to tell you

about this, and finally got your call around eight o clock. I explained a lot

to you at that time, just in case you were angry. I didnt expect that my father

called me tonight and said that you were really angry and furious. Mom, my son

is really sad. I didnt expect you to be like this because of something like

this. After all, I am a piece of your flesh, mother, and you must not

misunderstand your son. Your son, who has always loved you dearly.

I love you, Mom.

Its very important for us to protect the environment. All of us want to live in a better place, so its our duty to beautfy the environment. As a senior high school student, we should do something.

Above all, we should never throw rubbish ourself. We must keep this rule, and then influence the others. Whats more, we should care more about the environment. For instance, we should read newspapers about the globle environment problems and think deep about them. Last but not the least, we ought to promote the importance of protecting the environment. In this way, we can call on more and more people to join us.

Lets take actions as soon as possible! Lets protect the earth, and live a better environment.

Although I’m still a freshman in this new semester, I’ve learned a lot from the past few months. I chose English as my major because I extremely love this subject so that I will continuously devote myself into it. Maybe I’ve got not bad gradeslast term and it indeed inspired me to get more progress in the future. But what I know is that it’s still a long way to achieve my ultimate goal and I need to make great efforts. My dream is to be a translator, especially a simultaneous interpreter, but I knew it’s not easy to realize due to my limited knowledge now. So I need to work step by step.

Now it comes to my recent goals. Firstly, to be honest, I’m not good at oral English and English listening, I have to take a great deal of practice. What I plan is listening to the MP3 in order to imitate the foreigners’ accent and speak more in English. At the same time, I will do a lot of News dictation and English listening and comprehension to improve my skills. Secondly, to prepare the CET4 and the 2014National English Contest for College Students, I intend to memorize all the words in my vocabulary book within two or three months and finish my exercise books. Thirdly, I want to maintain my academic of my specialized course or do more better than ever before by working harder. Finishing my assignments and notes is what I need to insist on every day.

Just like the old saying goes, “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart”. I have a strong belief that I can realize my dream as long as I persist in it and study hard with plenty of time and patience.

Shakespeare in Love

文：渐行渐远的记忆

很多年以后，依稀记得那个冬天的一个下午，太阳十分慵懒，一如这个以慢节奏而著称的城市。祥和、静寂的气氛夹杂着几分淡淡的哀伤，窗外细枊无力地摇曳着。

世界上最可怕的是什么？梦想的破灭？青春的逝去？生命的终结……Shakespeare撕下一张又一张的稿纸，那支脏兮兮的鹅毛笔时而游曳于白纸上，时而停顿在半空……导演把镜头对准了Shakespeare紧锁的眉头和一张张被丢弃的废纸……何谓灵感？灵感无非是一种触动。当这位伦敦剧场界的新星失去其写作的灵感，无法再次触动尘封的心灵，这一切远比死亡来得可怕。

并不华丽的场景却真实地再现16世纪的伦敦闹市，跟随着主人翁的步伐，我们来到了剧场，这里正在招聘演员，男女主角的第一次见面就在这里发生。中国有句古话：冥冥之中，定有天意。Viola正是那位Shakespeare所需的能激发其灵感的女神，年轻的Shakespeare敏锐的感觉让他发现了 Viola是个漂亮的女孩，接着如同那些爱情小说里描写的一样，他们坠入了爱河。这时候Shakespeare的灵感如泉涌，并将他们的爱情付诸成文字， Viola成为他生命中的Juliet，而他这个Romeo也找到生存的意义。

如同众多的爱情悲剧小说里的情形一样，他们的爱情被残酷的现实所阻挠：Viola必须嫁给Wisher爵士，这是Victoria女王所钦定的，并且 Shakespeare早已成婚。在一场身分混淆、错综复杂的乌龙闹剧中，大吃干醋的未婚夫和未婚妻的情人决斗，私定终身的情侣偷偷调情，而年轻的 Shakespeare不但得为他的剧本想出完美的结局，也得为他自己的爱情找到快乐的结局。

曾为《钢琴师》、《跳出我天地》等欧洲名片谱写过电影配乐的英国新进作曲者Stephen Warbeck以其擅长的古典剧作笔法，既吸取了古典配乐上的欢快与幽默，又努力向时尚的剧情烘托靠拢。本片的配乐一直都维持了一股宫廷电影应有的典雅与高贵。音乐一路描绘着剧中人物的情感变化。影片从昂扬的揭开序曲，一路细腻且生动地描绘着剧中人物的喜怒哀乐，到及的深沉情绪中，紧密交织的古典交响曲式，慢板的钢琴曲及女高音Catherine Bott跨刀吟唱无一不紧扣人心。

人生如戏，还是戏如人生？我想Shakespeare在这一刻肯定是忘形了，所以他才演的这么投入，所以他的台词才会这么动人。

但是生活不是戏剧，生活同样也不是电影！有人说：武侠小说是成年人的童话。其实电影又何尝不是？就如电影里的Shakespeare，在舞台上他对着心爱的女人，当着众人的面，可以毫无顾忌地诉说着一切，而在现实生活中，世俗的差距就象一道鸿沟，两个相爱的人始终只能遥遥相望。

爱是需要表达的，爱也是需要争取的。看完电影，我想想也好笑：是不是我们永远在别人的故事里，流着自己的泪？

Layla Kaylif - Shakespeare In Love

Hes fought and hes fallen

Hes on his knees before hes on his feet

A sinister romantic

Oh, hes about to be and shes about to see

Teachin torches to burn bright

Shes hanging on the cheek of night

A snowy dove trooping with crows

He never saw true beauty till tonight

CHORUS:

Shell take him to the brink of deliverance

Show him that much

Oh, dont you know it

Oh, dont you know it

So he falls in love to feel that hes falling

Shell let him know his heart

Oh, dont you know it

Oh, dont you know it

Thats Shakespeare in love

Hes fought and hes fallen

Hes on his knees before hes on his feet

A glittery romantic

Oh, hes about to be and shes about to see

His bountys boundless like the sea

His love is endless, just as deep

The more he gives the more he has

`Cause both of them are truly infinite

CHORUS:

Shell take him to the brink of deliverance

Show him that much

Oh, dont you know it

Oh, dont you know it

So he falls in love to feel that hes falling

Shell let him know his heart

Oh, dont you know it

Oh, dont you know it

Thats Shakespeare in love

Thats Shakespeare in love

A sinister romantic

Hes on his knees before hes on his feet

CHORUS:

Shell take him to the brink of deliverance

Show him that much

Oh, dont you know it

Oh, dont you know it

So he falls in love to feel that hes falling

Shell let him know his heart

Oh, dont you know it

Oh, dont you know it

Thats Shakespeare in love

Thats Shakespeare in love

《In Love》

If love be love , if love be ours,

如果你我相爱，如果爱就是爱

Faith and unfaith can ne’er be equal powers;

忠诚与背信的力量天壤之别，

Unfaith in aught is want of faith in all.

点滴失信便让诚实永远欠缺。

It is the little rift within the lute,

就像琵琶上的小小纹裂，

That by and by will make the music mute,

日积月累，音色难以和谐，

And ever widening showly silence all.

当裂痕慢慢扩大，琴声终将彻底寂灭。

The little rift within the lover’s lute,

琵琶上的小小纹裂，就像爱人心中的裂纹

Or little pitted speck in garner’d fruit,

就像果实中的烂斑无法察觉，

That rotting inward slowly moulders all,

它会慢慢腐朽，并将腐蚀一切。，

It is not worth the keeping, let it go;

如无价值继续，那就断然了结，

But shall it?answer, darling, answer,no,

但是会这样吗?亲爱的，你要说不，斩金截铁，

And trust me not all or all in all.

对我，要么怀疑一切，要么相信一切。

air pollution comes from factories, power stations and cars. chemicals in the smoke from power stations cause a lot of damage. they can travel hundreds of miles in the wind before falling to the ground in the rain. but this "chemical rain" gradually destroys trees in the forests and kills fish in the lakes. in germany, over 50% of the country’s trees had been damaged by the year 1986.

time and time again there are serious accidents that pollute the air. in 1986 there was a bad accident at a nuclear power station in russia. a cloud of radiation crossed the whole of europe. it is said that 125,000 people died in russia as a result of illnesses caused by this accident.

in 1984 there was a serious accident at a factory in india and a cloud of dangerous gas covered the town of bhopal. over 2,500 people were killed that night, and hundreds of thousands of people were injured. many of the injured lost their sight.

The empty dam below my home was clean and tidy, and now the empty dam is full of rubbish, especially on rainy days, polluted water, and pedestrians passing by. The other people, because of the strength of the power, threw the garbage just hanging on the tree, ugly dead.

Im going to talk to the grown-ups. Theyre not talking to me. What are the kids doing? And drove me out. After I was driven out, I thought to myself, "this cant work. I can go to the neighborhood committee." So I went to the neighborhood committee. When I arrived at the neighborhood committee, I said to an aunt, "aunt, I want to reflect that someone in this building is littering." Aunt kind of say: "kid, the things we already know, one building will see you in a few days to clean the residents of the building to education, by the way you, you are quick to go home." I had to go home and wait for someone to clean. A few days later, we actually saw someone to clean, clean the people of the whole building up and down, left and right, fringes sweep of very clean, after finished, clean people will start all the residents of education building (including me), finished her education and clean people have left. After I passed this, I never saw him/them littering.

I suggest that we really want to protect the environment, because it is peoples responsibility to protect the environment. If people do get it right, we can have a good home.

Dear Christmas father:

Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.It is a very happy day

for many boys and girls .Before the term ends in some schools ,the children act

a nativity or “birth” play,showing how Jesus was born in a stable.

On the twenty-fourth of December,all children are very excited.Usually they

are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.The

younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or

fireplace ,so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in.The greedy ones

even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents.Later that

night,Father or Mother will put presents in the sock,and leave others at the

side of the bed.

On Christmas morning,the children wake up very early.Some even turn on the

light at two oclock,and most of them are awake by six oclock although it is

not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.Children

look for their presents,and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.At

about one oclock in the afternoon,the Christmas dinner is brought in.The turkey

or chicken is quickly eaten.Children search in their Christmas pudding for new

coins which are hidden in it.The rest of the day is full of games and eating

until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.
