跑步 Running

I like many kinds of sports, such as swimming, running, table-tennis and badminton. But I like running most. Running is a good activity for people to keep healthy and relieve pressures. Besides, it’s very easy for me to running. I can run in the morning or after class. And I can run alone. I don’t have to find a partner to run with me. After running, I always feel good and relaxed. It has become a part of my life.

我喜欢很多种运动，比如游泳，跑步，乒乓球和羽毛球。但是我最喜欢的是跑步。跑步是人们保持身体健康和释放压力的运动。此外，我觉得跑步很容易。我可以在早上或课后进行跑步。我也可以一个人跑，不需要找伴一起跑。跑步过后，我总是感觉很好很放松。跑步已经成为我生活中的一部分。

[介绍健身房英文作文

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

诚实是指真诚正直、言行一致。守信是指遵守承诺、不虚伪、不欺骗。孔子教导弟子要诚实。在学习上，知之为知之，不知为不知。孔子认为这才是对待学习的正确态度。古时候，中国商铺的大门上写着“货真价实，童叟无欺”。这表明从古时候起，中国就已推行公平交易、以诚待客、不欺骗、不造假的道德标准。现代中国将诚实守信的美德加以发扬光大。诚实守信就是工作学习时专心负责；对朋友坦诚、言出必行。

参考译文：

Honesty is to be sincere and upright,and match ones words with his/her action.Being trustworthy is to keep ones word and not to be false and deceitful.Confucius taught his disciples to be honest.In study,if you know a thing,say you know it;if you dont,say you dont.He thought it was the correct attitude towards study.In ancient times,the doors of Chinese shops had on it an inscription“genuine goods at a fair price for all customers.”This shows that since old times China has advocated the ethics of fair trade,honesty towards customers,no deception and no falsification.In modern China,the virtue of being honest and trustworthy has been carried forward.It is to be single-minded and responsible at work and in learning,and it is to be honest to friends and one should practice what he/she says.

词句点拨

1.言行一致:即“言论和行动相统一”，故译为match ones words with his/her action。

2.知之为知之，不知为不知:可译为if you know a thing,say you know it;if you dont,say you dont。

3.货真价实，童叟无欺:可译为非谓语短语形式genuine goods at a fair price for all customers,显得简洁。

4.公平交易:可译为fair trade。

1、离开我就别安慰我，要知道每一次缝补也会遭遇穿刺的痛。

If you leave me, please dont comfort me because each sewing has to meet stinging pain.

2、在我们生命中出现的人，一些给我们上课，一些让我们痊愈，有的用来分担分享，有的用来真爱。

Among those people that appear in our life, some are to teach us, some to comfort us, some to share and some to love.

3、所谓情话，就是你说了一些连自己都不相信的话，却希望对方相信。

The so-called love word is that you say something that you would not believe by yourself, but you hope others would believe.

4、一段不被接受的爱情，需要的不是伤心，而是时间，一段可以用来遗忘的时间。一颗被深深伤了的心，需要的不是同情，而是明白。

An unacceptable love needs no sorrow but time- sometime for forgetting. A badly-hurt heart needs no sympathy but understanding.

5、偶尔要回头看看，否则永远都在追寻，而不知道自己失去了什么。

Sometimes you need to look back, otherwise you will never know what you have lost in the way of forever searching.

6、生命最大的恐惧，不过是来自于心底那个不去发现的黑暗，但是灵魂告诉我们，只要还有心跳，就一定有勇气。

People will always change. Some choose to change the environment; some choose to be changed by the environment. Most of the time when you cannot change, you have to choose to find something to make yourself happy.

8、寂寞确实跟孤单不一样，孤单只表示身边没有别人，但寂寞是一种你无法将感受跟别人沟通或分享的心理状态。而真正的寂寞应该是连自己都忘了喜欢一个人的感觉。

Loneliness is different from being alone. Being alone means you just have no one beside you but loneliness means that you can not talk with others and share them with your feelings. And the true loneliness is that you even forget how it feels when you love someone.

9、两人相爱是，渴求无限甜蜜的吻。但为何在争吵时，却要用接吻的嘴互相伤害呢？每当我忧郁困惑，疲惫不堪时，我只能给自己一个吻。

When two people are in love, they are eager to have more sweet kisses. But why they are in quarrel, they are hurting each other by the mouths that once used for kissing? Every time when I was upset or tired, I can only kiss by myself.

10、举得起放得下的叫举重，举得起放不下的叫负重。可惜，大多数人的爱情，都是负重的。

If you can hold something up and put it down, it is called weight-lifting; if you can hold something up but can never put it down, its called burden-bearing. Pitifully, most of people are bearing heavy burdens when they are in love.

Be grateful for friends

It is a celebrating day. I got in touch with Michael whom I have been losing contact for one year.

It is really magic. I was searching online aimlessly yesterday when an idea struck me suddenly: since Ben can find out my secret by keying in my name in the search engines, why cant I do so, either?

I intended to find out something about Ben in revenge in the first place, but soon extend my name list to a wider category. It was then that I recalled Michael suddenly.

We have lost contact since our last correspondence in my senior 3. He mentioned to me in his last letter that he was preparing for going to UK to further his education. I, shamefully, was too busy to reply his mail then. When I was recommended to ZJU and won the final freedom, I thought he had already been in UK so I had no idea where to write him.

I used to think that we would never meet again. However, when I browsed the entries about him, I found out excitedly that he is still in P.R.C.!!

Without a moment hesitation, I ran upstairs to my dorm and found out my old address book. Thank goodness, his home no was still there.

After 3 times calling with no answer replies, I eventually got him on the phone. He was more surprised than I could imagine that when I asked for his hp no he was too nervous to remember it.

Life is enjoyable in moments such like this. Old friends meet again surprisingly, on a road of their own ways to their dreams. They look at the face of each other, and recognize the old pal. It is such moment that makes me feel grateful to life: whenever I set off for a new destination, I see I have friends in the same direction, with whom I wont feel alone any more.

I like traveling very much. My trip to XiAn is really unforgettable. Before

I went there, I always wanted to see Bin Ma Yong, so I chose to go there.

I went to there by train with my parents and I had breakfast in the hotel.

Then we went there by bus. When I got off the bus, I was very excited. I saw a

lot of false man whose hand with all kinds of things.

I took many pictures. Finally we went back the hotel in the afternoon.

Though I was very tired, I felt very happy. I will never forget it for

ever.

but, however, on the other hand, on the contrary, in contrast, in any case, at any rate(无论如何), nevertheless(虽然如此), otherwise, or, or else, while, whereas, but, despite, in spite of ..., yet, instead,

I do not believe that…,

Perhaps you’ll ask why…

This may be true, but we still have a problem with regard to…,

That’s why I feel that…

见到你的那一瞬间，我就爱上你了。

伴着想你，醒来!

愿我俩的爱情永远不变!

你走出了我的梦，投入我的怀里。我不能让你走。情人节快乐。

You stepped out of my dreams andsintosmy arms. I can’t let you go. Happy  Valentine’s Day.

我一直不相信有真正的“幸福”，直到不久以后，我邂逅了你。亲爱的，情人节快乐。

I didn’t think that I could ever trust happiness. Then I met you.Happy  Valenti ne’s Day, Dear.

真诚，不必隐藏，把所有的话语，都写在那小小的贺卡上。祝我新爱的人，情人节快乐。

Be genuine and conceal noting.I write every wiod I wand to say on this  small card.I wish my honey a happy Valentine’s day.

想你，是一种美丽的忧伤的甜蜜的惆怅，心里面，却是一种用任何语言也无法表达的温馨。

It is graceful grief and sweet sadness to think of you, but in my heart,  there is a kind of soft warmth that can’t be expressed with any choice of  words.

常常想起曾和你在一起的那些日子。开心、快乐、幸福、失落、伤心、痛苦的所有日子。很想你，很想你……

你在时你是一切，你不在时一切是你!

You are everything when you are with me, and everything is you when you are  not.

我不知道我是否真的爱，但是我知道我不能没有你，如果地球将要毁灭，那么我要告诉你“你是我唯一想见的人”。

I don’t know whether I really love you, but I know I cannot lose you. If  the earth is going to be destroyed I want to tell you that you are the only one  I want to see.

遇上一个人要一分钟的时间，喜欢一个人只需一小时的时间，爱上一个人要一天的时间，可要我忘记你却要用上一生的时间。

I can meet a person in a minute, like a person in an hour and love a person  in a day, but it will take me a whole life to forget you

I put the dishes from the water room, see the rest of the noodles, I said: "Mom, I put the noodles refrigerator?" my mother told me to put cold noodles. And then I began to wash the dishes.

Person’s life is made up of countless days, while some days may be boring, some are precious and unforgettable memories.

July 15,XX, the day I’ll never forget. It was a sunny day, but I was anxious, nervous and meanwhile, a little excited, for I was waiting for the arrival of my university admission notice. It was not until 3 pm that I finally waited the arrival of a green mail car full of hope. Only when I got the admission notice, did I believe that I was really admitted to my dream university—…university. It not only meant my past efforts and persistence not in vain, but also meant that I would say goodbye to the dull high school life, and step into the colorful university life. I was so happy and immediately called my parents to tell them the good news, and then teachers and classmates.

What an unforgettable day!

Dear Admission Committee:

Miss Pan Bei requested a letter of recommendation from me to support her application for graduate program at your university. As her teacher, I am pleased to comply with her request.

I first got to know Miss Pan when she enrolled at university and I was the assistant director of her class at that time. Being a professor for several years, I noticed that due to the lack of self-learning ability, it is really challenging for students, even those performing excellent in senior school, to keep up with the college speed. However, as a diligent girl without any solid background in Computer Science before college, she adapted quickly to the especially competitive environment in our department. At the end of the first year, she earned the 5th rank in her class, while ranking 1st among the girls. I was fairly impressed by her self-learning technique and exceptional efforts. Hence, I believe, goal-oriented, not afraid of inchoateness and with persistence, she has the quality to make achievements.

What distinguished her among her classmates, I think, was that she went far beyond acquiring excellent scores in the exams and instead got her range of knowledge enlarged. In spring, 2006, Miss Pan took the course I taught named Algebraic Structures and Combinatorial Mathematics. This inquisitive and assiduous young woman was sometimes the last to leave after my class, raising novel questions related to the subject. I found that she understood the knowledge in depth and detail. Furthermore, I still remember during the spring vocation in May, due to the break-down of my mail box, I missed her mails to discussing some questions. But the following week during the course time, she asked me directly. Her zeal for knowledge and the spirit to explore answers really leave me a deep impression. Finally, she was among the few students who got almost full marks in every test in class which showed her exceeding grasp of every chapter. Thus, I gave her 98/100 for the excellent performance in my course.

In summary, I have every reason to believe that Miss. Pan will make outstanding performance at your university as a graduate. I would appreciate greatly if you give her a favorable consideration. Please feel free to contact me directly if more assistance is needed. Faithfully yours,

Wanling Qu, Professor

Department of Computer Science and technology Peking University

Last autumn we took a trip to Qianshan by bus.It is about thirty miles from the city.We planned to put up in a hotel there in order to watch the sun rise the next morning.

As soon as we got there,we began to climb up the mountains.How great the sight is!We felt as if we had entered amother world full of beauty,peaeefulness and loveliness.There are hundreds of mountains,one after another.there are magnificent cliffs,one above another.We climbed up vigorously and breathed the fresh air greedily.As the sun was going down,we descended to a little hotel at the foot of the hill,where we had a big dinner,and then went to bed early so as to regain the energy ior the expedition next morning.

Before daybreak,we reached the peak of the highest mountain after a hard groping and climbing in the dark.Unaware of the cold wind,we stood motionlessly,with our eyes fixing at the hr end of the east.Suddenly thin ravs of red hue spread across the sky.As the redness deepened,some mysterious clouds moved across thc sky,dividing heaven from the earth.Just at this moment,up from the brightening far east rose the sun.It was so red and yet so tender that we could gaze at it with naked eyes.and a slight applause from us.the amazed spectators,rang through the peak.Up,up it rose,adding to itself strength and glory at every step.It dazzled with vigour,driving away darkness,cold,and misery from the earth,and bring light,warmth,and happiness to men.

We were completely amazed at the wonder and the greatness of nature.We jumped and shouted like innocent children and we bathed in the first rays of the sun with the peak till it was time for our return.

A suichu fireworks, energy-saving - signature

With the sound of familiar firecrackers in the ear, the taste of the year became thicker and thicker. The eyes see, the ears hear, the nose smells full of jubilation.

Spring Festival comes, we are very happy, all families have attached to the couplet, and the word "Fu", "Fu Fu" is the meaning of "blessing". With regard to the origin of "Spring Festival", there is a kind of legend that there was a kind of beast called "year" in ancient times of China. "Year", head long antennae, ferocious abnormality. Long years of deep seabed, each to a specific day (which is now the new years Eve) to climb the shore, devouring livestock harm human life. Therefore, every new years Eve, people help the aged and the young stockaded village fled to the mountains, to avoid "year" damage. One year on New Years Eve, the old man begged from the village. The villagers rush to a scene of panic, no one cares about him, only village as an old woman gave the old man some food, and urged him to speed up the mountain to avoid "year", the old man pulled up to the mustache smiled: "if her mother let me stay at home one night, I have to years away." The old woman continued to persuade the old man to laugh without saying.

So there must be fireworks in the Spring Festival

The fireworks in the sky diversiform dressed in brightly coloured, "fireworks into the sky", "bang" sound exploded, the sky suddenly become colorful, the faint powder is like colorful flower blooming. But the drama is not long. The fireworks are fading slowly from the sky until they disappear. Over there, a shock silver light caught my attention, and it sprayed and sprayed up. Falling back then jumped out of the silver, like pearls falling from the sky to tens of thousands of people, very beautiful feeling; snapping, snapping, the deafening sound of firecrackers is certain! The noisy sound is enough to add a lot of joy to the 2013.

There is a warm fire, burning, and intensified, the orange flames rolling up and down, as if calling what, like dancing in joy. People, things, China, the Spring Festival is becoming more and more intense, bringing 2013 new weather!

The Spring Festival rich in the rich years, the rich people.

Sometimes, people say, "this kid is as smart as a monkey", but people may not notice that cats are smarter than monkeys, especially when they are catching food.

The other is to rely on domestic animal owners to send food, and a big cat is my grandma feeds and they are not the same, it is not good to eat, not to eat food to capture. Is the best cat stole the fish, when it is in the night, with its feet to soundless and stirless action, it unnoticed to others, that night the glowing eyes and the nose to find the target, with the sudden speed, catch, immediately cautiously without any noise. Run away, then, find a quiet place to enjoy.

Stole the fish just a small cat to catch mice is the ability, its strengths, cats carefully came to the place where the mouse it feels, quietly, still waiting, as long as the sight of a mouse, the cat will immediately and quickly flee in the past, sometimes just a mouse caught a tail, sometimes only catch mice, regardless of the outcome, there will still be waiting for the cat and mouse.

Sometimes the cat is really very boring, it will eat the wheat to attack the sparrow, saw the cat still like that stole the fish to go cautiously without any noise and small sparrow sparrow side, not the danger around it, then, all of a sudden forward toward a cat, a small sparrow is caught, in short, cat every time is 100% in the catch".

Ha ha, when capturing food, the cat is a "mysterious little Superman."".

What a great forest! Today is the Spring Festival party in the forest, on the ground, flying in the sky all go to see the Spring Festival Gala.

The host is the thrush bird and the canary, which first speaks fluently about some blessings, and then please go to the singer &mdash in the forest; — the puppy.

When the puppy came to power, he said, “ what song do you love to hear me most? ” the animals say in a different voice: “ spring ”. The puppy sang, &ldquo, Wangwang, spring sprouts, spring flowers opened … … ” after listening to the puppy song, the animals applauded the puppy singer down.

The second play is the fox, the fox came on, he sang the song of the fox fox: “ squeak, our mouth is so sharp, so big eyes … … “, listening to the fox singing, we laugh together not so please clap down the fox mouth side. The third is the peacock. When the peacock comes to the stage, she starts to jump up &ldquo. The dance of Spring Festival &rdquo, her head is wearing gold crown, wearing bright clothes and graceful dancing. Animals cant help saying, &ldquo, they jump too well, &rdquo.

Two kids came, they came to power, to everyone bowed, then bleating for everyone to ask a good start to drop, some ball in their hands is very obedient, look at the dazzling animal.

Nbsp; after the end of the spring party, the animals walked out of the studio.

Last weekend ,I didn’t want to do homework all day .I wanted to go to somewhere. That was fun. I went to the zoo with my friend JingWen . I bought two tickets .One is for JingWen ,the other is for me .Then we took a bus to the zoo.

I wanted to keep the zoo clean .Finally ,we feel tired and we leave the zoo. I think the zoo is good for animals ,why?

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.

To end our special news bulletin, said the voice of the television announcer, we‘re going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year‘s crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition! Signor Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April lst. We‘re now going back to the studio.
