世界水日英文介绍短文【热门20篇】

我去过无数人赞叹的兰亭，去过水平如镜的西湖，但在我印象最深刻的却是西安的兵马俑。

来到兵马俑，只见外面是一片小树林。我们在经过这一片树林的时候，蝉唱得异常的响，仿佛在为我们歌唱大自然之歌，里面的小溪在为这首大自然之歌伴奏。

中午，我们终于到了兵马俑一号坑。兵马俑一个个惟妙惟肖。我在想，古人没有高科技就能造出这样的兵马俑，每个脸部表情都不一样，我们中国人的科技不是在进步，而是在退步!

中午，我们又从兵马俑一号坑到了放战车的地方，第一架战车后面就像我们平常坐的黄包车。第二架战车和第一架战车的前面都有一个东西，那个东西上面有刺，上面又有把为了让战马不跑出去的东西。这个不知名的东西，让战马不会离太远，也不会让战马离太近。

啊!古代劳动人民可真是又勤劳又智慧啊!你们虽然没有我们现在的机器人也没有可以调温度的煤气，只有一双双灵活的手却造出了让21世纪全球人民震撼的兵马俑。你们造出的兵马俑，比我们造出兵马俑简直是天壤之别!我们对不起这些高科技，我们应该运用祖先继承给我们的聪明才智，和高科技结合，造出比祖先造出的东西很好的东西。

在我国福建省，有一种奇特的建筑，它藏在永定省和南靖省的深山里，形状有圆形，方形，甚至三角形，八边形，月牙形，它就是著名的福建土楼。

土楼是中空的，以至于美国人在上世纪60年代的卫星图中，误把土楼当成了中国的秘密导弹发射基地。

土楼坚固无比。由于它们建在深山里，常常有土匪出没，因此它有一堵大头朝里，小头朝外建的鹅卵石墙，为了防止土匪挖进去，或被打穿，所以土墙深深扎根在泥土里甚至沼泽地上，墙体足足有1。4米厚，甚至可以抵抗常规武器的攻击。那挖进去不成，从门窗攻进去，总可以了吧?对不起，你错了。大门口必然是有多人把守，而且是一夫当关，万夫莫开。练窗户都建成高高的里大外小的形状，土楼里的人站得高望的远，土匪也不可能攻进去。那围城战术总可以了吧?围到你弹尽粮绝，不就不攻自破了吗?对不起，你又错了。土楼里有水井，少则一个，多则两个，而且土楼高十几米，第一层是厨房，第二层是仓库，而且人家还在土楼里养了鸡，鸭，猪。二三四层才住人，围个两三个月，土楼人家根本不在乎，这哪是名宿，明明是一个几乎完全的军事堡垒呀。

如此奇妙的建筑，都是几百年前的工匠们一砖一瓦的搭建出来的。不论经历了多少风雨，仍然在那一动不动地站着。伫立在闽粤深山里的中国民间建筑艺术的奇迹。

百年前劳动人民生活的智慧一直流传到现在。土楼里倡导着平等意识，一家一间十平方米的房子，轮流打扫卫生，共同教育后代，共同御敌，没有高低贵贱之分。这种精神一代一代流传下来，从而使福建的三万多座土楼大部分完好地保存到现在，依然子嗣绵延。

团结创造奇迹。

Truman was a man, ordinary, like the life around us. He has many desires, and very easy to meet. Therefore, he sometimes ecstatic, sometimes Rusangkaobi, most of the time the loss depressed, overwhelmed. At this time, there has been a director of genius useless, and he constantly create new stimuli, so that he becomes ups and downs in the long drama, appetizing. Truman happy he would give him time to create some trouble, when in its depressed, then seize the opportunity to open it alive. He made such romantic novels as blonde suddenly appeared in the sight of Truman, his erotic valve open, letting her sudden departure, so the mind fall into a bottomless abyss; he had never met before to Truman "late father" suddenly appeared, to recognize exaggerated comic scenes make it in your eyes, but also make the TV viewing audience tears; he brought Trumans close friends in their emotional bad time to care for him, enlighten He, so that it felt the "Oasis in the Desert" and rebirth of confidence, although the friend is an actor, and is carrying a large segment of lines ... ...

Who admire the film brilliant and arrogant genius director, he leads people to think of God, also saw the weak, tired, helpless and confusion Truman was the hypocrisy of the play again, or for life and the future with optimism when the waves in my heart to sorrow and grief, I could not bear to face - can not bear to face a real "us"!

"Life is like a play, movie is like life," so lamented philosopher, but the actors on the stage of life - we, is not always an act of consciousness has it? Or deception and the arrangement of God, selflessly doing meaningless things? Happy, do not

Enough to make us love this world; setbacks, not enough to make us abandon this world. God is like the genius as a director, holds a very good degree, he knew that when a blow to us, when we gave a warm fire burned, he allows us to maintain hope in pain, in hope endure pain, the pain making the story as waves, but also making the ratings, the hope is to train and gave us the appearance fees, so we are not so half-way stop play.

The end of the movie, Truman is awake, and he told the camera, really the "God" strike played out. Panic talented director, he will lose the audience, he strove to retain Truman, the director told him to leave the control of the world is very dangerous, but Truman was out of that door, walks over to the dark unknown world, he said that the world waiting for him no matter what, he did not care. Buddhism, the "epiphany" one said, and that a complete self-sufficiency of human nature is dead in the dust covering it, it lost. Truman is the insight it seems, he should get back the lost self, the self-contained complete and carefree nature.

"Diamond Sutra" language: "Where all the phases are all false, if seen in the phase of non-relative, then see the Tathagata." Costume sooner or later to fade, set to be removed sooner or later, when the act is performed in a lively manner, but Do not forget to watch a movie than ever addiction, feel free to let another "I" - the I, off the stage, in the audience, sipping tea, take a look at the stage of "I" and "them", a few drum Under the palm, a few drops of tears flow, understand this, that will insight a. In fact, we not taken the door across what is the relationship? Because our hearts have been cross-out.

译文：

楚门是个普通人，普通得就像生活在我们身边。他有许多的欲望，又很容易满足。因此，他有时欣喜若狂，有时如丧考妣，大多的时候则彷徨郁闷，不知所措。这时，天才的导演又有了用武之地，他不断地制造新的刺激，使他的长剧变得波澜起伏，吊人胃口。他在楚门快乐的时候便给他制造些麻烦，在其沮丧的时候，则不失时机地给其开启一线生机。他让金发女郎如言情小说般突然出现在楚门的视线中，开启他爱欲的阀门，又让她突然离去，使其心灵坠入无底的深渊;他让楚门从未谋面的“已故父亲”突然现身，夸张滑稽的相认场面令其热泪盈眶，同时也赚取了电视观众的热泪;他又让楚门的知心朋友在其情绪恶劣的时候去关怀他、开导他，令其感受到这“荒漠中的甘泉”而重生信心，虽然那位朋友只是一个演员，而且正背着大段台词……

很佩服电影中那位才华横溢、不可一世的天才导演，他让人想到了上帝，同时看到那个软弱、疲惫、徨惑的楚门被一次次的虚伪所玩弄，还是对生活和前途充满了乐观时，我的内心就一阵阵地酸楚，我不忍面对——不忍面对一个真实的“我们”!

“人生如戏，戏如人生”，哲人如此感叹，但人生舞台上的演员——我们，是不是时刻都有一种演戏的自觉呢?还是在上帝的欺瞒和安排下，忘我地做着无意义的事呢?快乐，不

足以使我们热爱这个世界;挫折，不足以使我们抛弃这个世界。上帝就像那个天才的导演一样，掌握着很好的度，他知道该在何时给我们当头一棒，何时又给我们烧起暖暖的火炉，他使我们在痛苦中保持希望，在希望中忍受痛苦，因为痛苦制造着剧情的波澜，也制造着收视率，希望则是赏给我们的出场费，使我们不至于中途罢演。

电影的末尾，楚门是觉悟了的，他对着摄影机，真的向“上帝”罢演了。天才的导演恐慌了，他将失去观众，他竭力挽留楚门，告诉他离开了导演控制的世界是很危险的，但楚门还是走出了那扇门，走向那个黑漆漆的未知世界，他说不管那个世界中等待他的是什么，他都不在乎。佛家有“顿悟”一说，并说人的本性自足圆满，是人世的尘埃覆盖了它，使它迷失。看来楚门是顿悟了，他要找回那个失去的自我，那个自足圆满、自由自在的本性。

《金刚经》语：“凡所有相，皆是虚妄，若见诸相非相，则见如来。”戏装迟早要褪去，布景也迟早要撤下，演戏的时候则生龙活虎地演一场，只是别忘了过过看戏的瘾，随时让另一个“我”——本我，走下舞台，在观众席上，呷一口茶，看看戏台上的“我”和“他们”，鼓几下掌，流几滴泪，明白了这一点，便接近顿悟了。其实，我们跨不跨出那扇门又有什么关系?因为我们的心灵已经跨了出去。

My name is. There are 4 people in my family. My father is a Chemistry teacher. He teaches chemistry in senior high school. My mother is an English teacher. She teaches English in the university. I have a younger brother; he is a junior high school student and is preparing for the entrance exam.

I like to read English story books in my free time. Sometimes I surf the Internet and download the E- books to read. Reading E- books are fun. In addition, it also enlarges my vocabulary words because of the advanced technology and the vivid animations.

I hope to study both English and computer technology because I am interested in both of the subjects. Maybe one day I could combine both of them and apply to my research in the future.

From a middle class family， I was born in Hsin Ying， Tainan on October 10 th， 1965. My father is a civil official at Tainan City Government. My mother is a house wife good at cooking. Although I am the only child of my parents， I am by no mans a spoiled one. On the contrary， I have been expected to be a successful man with advanced education. I study hard at school. Besides texts knowledge， journalism is my favorite; whenever reading， my heart is filled with great joy and interesting.

Being good is must; successful， however， is plus. Father adopts the idea of his father. Especially in military service， I realized it more precisely. People said: Military service makes a boy to man， I agree that.

I realized the importance of English and began to study diligently when I was eighteen. I did not start in my early age， but I hope that I could pass the test of General English Proficiency Test. And this is my best wish at the moment.

Unusually intelligent Jim Carrey movie - a provocative and prescient media satire. Puts Big Brother and the current spate of docu-soaps firmly into perspective Truman Burbank (Carrey) is a happily married insurance salesman living a normal life in a small American town so perfect that he has never felt the need or desire to leave it. He has a loving wife (Linney), and a loyal best buddy (Emmerich). Life is good until one morning a stage light drops from the skies and shatters on the ground perilously close to him. It is the trigger that sets him questioning everything around him. What is behind the facades of the buildings he has never entered? Why do people seem to be travelling around him in a perfectly synchronized loop? What is going on outside his home-town? Truman is, it turns out, the unwitting star of a top-rated 24-hour-a-day TV docu-soap. Under the careful critical scrutiny to which it has been subjected, the plot turns out not to be watertight. This is to miss the point of what is a hilarious and breathtakingly conceived satire which also allows Carrey to edge away from broad comedy. The Truman Show is also oddly moving and has, as you would expect from a Weir film, a pronounced metaphysical slant with Ed Harris playing the shows archly named producer/creator Christof. Verdict One of the cinematic highlights of the 1990s, The Truman Show is up there with Weirs very best work.

An Unforgettable Experience

As a lyric goes:“ You’ll be old if you don’t pursue something you like insanely.” I didn’t pay much heed on it the first time I saw this lyric. But you’ll never realize the profound meaning until you put it into practice.

Not long ago, I did a crazy , at least as far as I can see, thing. Well, you can guess it. I went to see a vocal concert of my favorite super star---Yan Yalun, who comes from Taiwan province. Although it happened two months ago, the stirring scene still excited me a lot every time I recollected it.

On January 9, 2013, Yalun held a concert at the centre of Kaide Square in Wuhan. I arrived there alone at about 11:20am. Cause the concert would begin at 5:00pm, I had to wait for nearly six hours. But it seemed that every fan who had arrived there gave a cold shoulder to the waiting time, the half of the square had already been occupied by Yalun’s fans. They were taking pictures of the advertisements about Yalun’s concert, buying album and making new friends with each other. About one century passed by, it was the wonder time next. With the thunderous applause breaking out, Yan Yalun presented at the stage. I burst into tears instantly I saw him. Then it was the official procession. He described what the new album tried to tell us and answered some questions asked by the host. Later, it was the key link and also the point why I eagered to come here so much---Yan Yalun’s autograph on my new album. It meant that I could shake hands with him, I had never imagined it. It was my turn to get the autograph. He firstly received my letter written to him by me and shaked my hands. Then, you could never guess it, he touched my head softly! At that moment, I could hear nothing and my brains were all blank so that I even didn’t know how I came back.

To be honest, the excited feeling is out of the expression by words. Only have you walked into the scene can you tell the magic feel. Believe it or not, the idols can give fans power. So , guys, Just do a crazy thing under the cover of your blossom age!

关于元宵节的英文介绍

the lantern festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in february or march in the gregorian calendar. as early as the western han dynasty (206 bc-ad 25), it had become a festival with great significance. this days important activity is watching lanterns. throughout the han dynasty (206 bc-ad 220), buddhism flourished in china. one emperor heard that buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to buddha on this day. later, the buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the central plains to the whole of china.每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the festival.

lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. if visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. if they are right, they will get a little gift. the activity emerged

during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the song dynasty (960-1279).

as riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

直到今天，元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的，各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮，孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷，非常高兴。猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动，花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上，挂在门口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝，因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

people will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "yuanxiao festival."yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. it is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat,

dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. it tastes sweet and delicious. what’s more, tangyuan in chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. so people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

in the daytime of the festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance,

walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. on the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. most families spare some fireworks from the spring festival and let them off in the lantern festival. some local
