用英文介绍美国的作文【热门20篇】

This past Independence Day, I saw two things that disturbed me greatly: First, people bashing America and its shortcomings; Second, people defending America blindly, while giving no thought to others’ criticisms. I’m a liberal and I more than acknowledge that there are problems with our country. Our executive branch is larger and more powerful than I’d like, our education system is broken, and our economic policy is not optimal for growth. I also know America has a lot of ugly secrets in its past. From the genocide of Native Americans to slavery to our foreign policy nightmare with Latin America in the early twentieth century, it’s easy to see why so many are angered by the jingoistic attitude that July 4th celebrations can incur. But I also recognize how remarkable of an achievement it was for those few men to break away, in the name of independence, and take a risk by establishing a democracy back in 1776. I also recognize that although the sins of our Founding Fathers were great, their accomplishments were greater, leaving a legacy of democracy and national sovereignty that would spread like wildfire throughout the world. The revolution was important and the ideals that this country was founded on, ideals of equality, respect for one another, and a commitment to progress, are ideals to be proud of, even if we don’t always live up to those ideals. I know many liberals hate to hear it, but the majority of the world is worse off than us, from third world countries to dictatorships, the world has got a lot of bad in it. And the much longer, more troubled histories of nations such as England have more mistakes and terrible acts in them than ours do. America has ideals and a commitment to democracy and freedom you can find nowhere else. Our spirit is strong and even if our government doesn’t live up to that spirit all the time, our citizens strive for it. Independence Day isn’t about petty squabbles and historical smear campaigns. This day is about celebrating our achievements and our ideals, acknowledging our mistakes, and reaffirming our commitment to make this country better so that, one day, those principles that the men who drafted our Declaration of Independence put forth, will be fully realized.

American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in ones right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.

The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.

There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans dont use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使复杂化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏猪肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.

Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).

International Womens Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by womens groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.

International Womens Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand womens suffrage.

The idea of an International Womens Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. Following is a brief chronology of the most important events:

1909

In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Womans Day was observed across the United States on 28 February. Women continued to celebrate it on the last Sunday of that month through 1913.

1910

The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, established a Womens Day, international in character, to honour the movement for womens rights and to assist in achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.

1911

As a result of the decision taken at Copenhagen the previous year, International Womens Day was marked for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded the right to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.

Less than a week later, on 25 March, the tragic Triangle Fire in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working girls, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This event had a significant impact on labour legislation in the United States, and the working conditions leading up to the disaster were invoked during subsequent observances of International Womens Day.

1913-1914

As part of the peace movement brewing on the eve of World War I, Russian women observed their first International Womens Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with their sisters.

1917

With 2 million Russian soldiers dead in the war, Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike for "bread and peace". Political leaders opposed the timing of the strike, but the women went on anyway. The rest is history: Four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. That historic Sunday fell on 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia, but on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere.

Since those early years, International Womens Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international womens movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations womens conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for coordinated efforts to demand womens rights and participation in the political and economic process. Increasingly, International Womens Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of womens rights.

The Role of the United Nations

Few causes promoted by the United Nations have generated more intense and widespread support than the campaign to promote and protect the equal rights of women. The Charter of the United Nations, signed in San Francisco in 1945, was the first international agreement to proclaim gender equality as a fundamental human right. Since then, the Organization has helped create a historic legacy of internationally agreed strategies, standards, programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide.

Over the years, United Nations action for the advancement of women has taken four clear directions: promotion of legal measures; mobilization of public opinion and international action; training and research, including the compilation of gender desegregated statistics; and direct assistance to disadvantaged groups. Today a central organizing principle of the work of the United Nations is that no enduring solution to societys most threatening social, economic and political problems can be found without the full participation, and the full empowerment, of the worlds women.

范本二

Some 15,000 women marched through New York City in 1908 demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights。 A hundred year on, the pertinence of this event is honored through IWD’s 2008 global theme ‘Shaping Progress’.

1908年，一万五千名妇女走上纽约街头，这缩短工作时间、提高工资待遇、享有选举权游行示威。100年之后，今年国际妇女节的主题是“塑造进步”

In just three years, 2011 will see IWD’s Centenary – 100 years of women’s united action for global equality and change. Organizations around the world have already commenced planning fo r their IWD Centenary celebrations.

三年后将是国际妇女节100周年，也是各为妇女为全球平等和改变共同行动100周年。世界各地有关组织已经开始为国际妇女节百年华诞张罗庆典。

The first International Women’s Day was launched on 8 March 1911 in Copenhagen by Clara Zetkin, Leader of the ‘Women’s Office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany.From joozone.com. www.en369.cn/zhongkao/2011/0929/20291.html

第一个国际妇女节于1911年3月8日，由德国社会民主党“妇女办公室”领导人克拉拉。蔡特金发动，在哥本哈根举行。

In 1991, a handful of men in Canada launched the “white ribbon” campaign, which delivers the message that men are opposed to some other men’s violence against women.

1991年，由一群加拿大男性公民倡议发起的“白丝带”活动，就是关注女性、保护女性的最好例证。

Women’s Day marks the role of women in both past and the present. However , the day is not a one-day routine. The real challenge lies in the spontaneous flow of feelings – honoring and celebrating womanhood on a particular March 8 only to forget its importance the next day is sacrilegious.

“国际妇女节”意在凸显女性在社会中的重要角色。我们最大的挑战在于：3月8日这天，各种庆祝活动大张旗鼓;3月8日之后，一切“绚丽”关注烟消云散。

Hi， boys and girls, good morning, it is my plearsure to take this change to introduce myself, my name is ***, i am 10 years old. About my family, there are 4 people in my family, father, mother, brother and me, my father and mother are all very kind, welcome you to visit my family if you have time!

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home. Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.

the mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, usually in october in gregorian calendar.

每年农历八月十五日，是传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为中秋。

the festival has a long history. in ancient china, emperors followed the rite of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. historical books of the zhou dynasty had had the word "mid-autumn". later aristocrats and literary figures helped expand the ceremony to common people. they enjoyed the full, bright moon on that day, worshipped it and expressed their thoughts and feelings under it. by the tang dynasty (618-907), the mid-autumn festival had been fixed, which became even grander in the song dynasty (960-1279). in the ming (1368-1644) and qing (1644-1911) dynasties, it grew to be a major festival of china.

中秋节有悠久的历史，和其它传统节日一样，也是慢慢发展形成的，古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的礼制，早在《周礼》一书中，已有“中秋”一词的记载。后来贵族和文人学士也仿效起来，在中秋时节，对着天上又亮又圆一轮皓月，观赏祭拜，寄托情怀，这种习俗就这样传到民间，形成一个传统的活动，一直到了唐代，这种祭月的风俗更为人们重视，中秋节才成为固定的节日，《唐书·太宗记》记载有“八月十五中秋节”，这个节日盛行于宋朝，至明清时，已与元旦齐名，成为我国的主要节日之一。

folklore about the origin of the festival go like this: in remote antiquity, there were ten suns rising in the sky, which scorched all crops and drove people into dire poverty. a hero named hou yi was much worried about this, he ascended to the top of the kunlun mountain and, directing his superhuman strength to full extent, drew his extraordinary bow and shot down the nine superfluous suns one after another. he also ordered the last sun to rise and set according to time. for this reason, he was respected and loved by the people and lots of people of ideals and integrity came to him to learn martial arts from him. a person named peng meng lurked in them.

相传，远古时候天上有十日同时出现，晒得庄稼枯死，民不聊生，一个名叫后羿的英雄，力大无穷，他同情受苦的百姓，登上昆仑山顶，运足神力，拉开神弓，一气射下九个多太阳，并严令最后一个太阳按时起落，为民造福。后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和爱戴，不少志士慕名前来投师学艺，心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。

关岛同是美国的小岛，虽然关岛的名声远远没有盖过夏威夷，但也是个伊甸田园。关岛的杜梦湾可以让人一踏出门槛便能看到充满五彩缤纷的海底生物之海洋保育区。历史爱好者可到滩头堡、战地、博物馆及纪念碑下触摸历史的痕迹，也可以一睹关岛独有的拉提石、西班牙废墟及战争遗迹。阿珊海滩可是1944年美军抢滩的主战常

塞班岛是北马里亚纳群岛联邦的首府。登上岛上海拔仅420米的踏破潮山山峰，便可看到东面是辽阔的太平洋，蔚蓝的海水中有一道近乎黑色的水道，那便是最深的马里亚纳海沟。塞班岛也拥有很多太平洋战役的历史遗迹，值得一游，日军最后司令部、自杀崖等都是历史爱好者不可不去的地方。附近的天宁岛、罗塔岛也各有历史资源。

亿万年来，奔腾的科罗拉多河从美国西部亚利桑那洲北部的堪帕布高原中，切割出这令人震撼的奇迹——科罗拉多大峡谷，只要登高远望，就可以清楚看到坦如桌面的高原上的一道大裂痕，那就是科罗拉多河在这片洪荒大地上的印记。

自1869年John.Wesley.Powell首次漂流科罗拉多大峡谷开始，100多年来无数的美国探险家追随着他的足迹在大峡谷里挑战险滩，搏击急流，在这里诠释着一种美国精神。美国科罗拉多大峡谷(TheGrandCanyon)是世界上最大的峡谷之一，也是地球上自然界七大奇景之一，全世界许多到过此地的人为之感叹：只有闻名遐迩的科罗拉多大峡谷才是美国真正的象征!

大峡谷全长347千米，宽6至29千米，深1600米。位于美国西部亚利桑那州北部的凯巴布高原上，1869年被美国独擘炮兵少校约翰·卫斯莱·鲍威尔带领的一支探险小分队发现。1919年，威尔逊总统批准将它辟为国家公园，总面积达1100平方千米。大峡谷国家公园于1980年列入世界遗产名录。

含括了美国西南风物的精典、众多的国家公园，陨星撞击的巨坑，扑朔迷离的峡谷、大台阶状的绚彩断层，硅化木集群，隐藏的印地安崖居遗迹，神秘的化外天地。

“不管你走过多少路，不管你见过多少名山大川，这个科罗拉多大峡谷，色调是那么新奇，结构是那么宏伟，仿佛只能存在于另一个世界，另一个星球。”这是美国早年的自然学家、探险家约翰·缪尔(JohnMuir)在1890年游历大峡谷后，对大峡谷一段中肯的描述。

有美国“音乐山水画家”之称作曲家格罗菲1920年游历了大峡谷之后，激起了强烈的创作欲望。此后他用了近十年的时间，多次前往大峡谷观察、体验，以其鲜明的音乐形象描绘大峡谷的雄伟、壮观和变幻无穷的美，创作出《大峡谷》交响组曲，被称为“一部用音符写成的游记”。

到大峡谷，第一眼就感受到从未有过的震慑和惊异。感叹在现代文明不断征服大自然的同时，却仍然留下了如此壮丽的原始洪荒。描绘大峡谷是十分困难的，你很难用语言表达大峡谷的景色，只能在亲临大峡谷后，用心灵去感知她的庄严、静穆和深邃，领略造物主赋予大峡谷的瞬息变幻和亿万年的寂寥。

大峡谷位于北美洲内陆，横贯于亚利桑那州和犹他州之间。这里气候干燥，幅员辽阔，有奇岩、红土、峡谷和印第安风情。美国西部电影里，常常描绘的一百年前那些劫富济贫、匡扶正义的孤胆英雄或牛仔豪杰，骑马挎枪，风驰电掣地走过寸草不生的红土峡谷，越过激流汹涌的科罗拉多河，以及夕阳斜照下无边无际、路途茫茫的如画镜头，大都是在这里拍摄的。美国西部西南四州——亚利桑那州、犹他州、科罗拉多州、新墨西哥州，也自然成为旅游者体验西部牛仔生活的理想之地。

在大峡谷国家公园的电影院里，有世界最大的银幕，诠释着大峡谷的历史和变迁。亿万年前，这里也同喜马拉雅山一样，曾是一片汪洋大海，造山运动使它崛起。然而由于石质松软，经过数百万年湍急的科罗拉多河的冲刷，两岸岩壁被磨擦切割成今天全长近400公里、宽约20公里、平均深度1500米的世界著名大峡谷。

如今俯瞰峡谷，科罗拉多河静静地像一条绿色的飘带，镶嵌在谷底，蜿蜒曲折，波光粼粼。真难以想像，就是这样一条“小河”，曾经带着上百万吨泥沙，用260万年的时间咆哮冲刷而下，从科罗拉多州西南冲向犹他州格兰峡谷，最终到达平静如镜的鲍维尔湖，才造就了今天我们看到的亚利桑那州那原始蛮荒、苍茫幽邃且壮美神奇的科罗拉多大峡谷。正像当代美国作家弗兰克·沃特斯(FrankWaters)对大峡谷的评价：“这是大自然各个侧面的凝聚点，这是大自然同时的微笑和恐惧，在它的内心充满如生命宇宙脱缰的野性愤怒，同时又饱含着愤怒平息后的清纯，这就是创造。”大峡谷创造了美，创造了一种境界，一种令人永难忘怀的感动和思绪。

I have never been to Shenzhen before. Many times, I dream of visiting Shenzhen because Shenzhen is a very modern,busy and beautiful city. and today, my dream has come true.

I am walking around the city center of Shenzhen and there are so many tall buildings on the sides of the streets. the streets are very big,straight and clean.I can see the buses,taxis,trains and cars on the road. people can choose their favourite way to go to work or travel. because there are a lot of department stores and supermarkets in Shenzhen,people can go shopping any where they wanted.

At night,Shenzhen becomes even more beatiful and colourful with all kinds of light. by walking on the street, you cant really tell where it is. it may be HongKong,Shanghai.

There are many scenery spots in Shenzhen.such as Folk Culture Village, Happy Valley, window of the world. but my favourite place is the window of the world.because i neednt go abroad but i can see the most of famous places in the world.

Shenzhen is an amazing city and i enjoy my visiting there so much.

The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month (14th in southern China).

In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in Spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in Autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living.

On the fifteenth day the realms of Heaven and Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths. Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mâché form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors. Elaborate meals (often vegetarian meals) would be served with empty seats for each of the deceased in the family treating the deceased as if they are still living. Ancestor worship is what distinguishes Qingming Festival from Ghost Festival because the latter includes paying respects to all deceased, including the same and younger generations, while the former only includes older generations. Other festivities may include, buying and releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies giving directions to the lost ghosts and spirits of the ancestors and other deities.

The Ghost Festival is celebrated during the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. It also falls at the same time as a full moon, the new season, the fall harvest, the peak of Buddhist monastic asceticism, the rebirth of ancestors, and the assembly of the local community. During this month, the gates of hell are opened up and ghosts are free to roam the earth where they seek food and entertainment. These ghosts are believed to be ancestors of those who forgot to pay tribute to them after they died, or those who were never given a proper ritual send-off. They have long needle-thin necks because they have not been fed by their family, or as a punishment so that they are unable to swallow. Family members offer prayers to their deceased relatives, offer food and drink and burn hell bank notes and other forms of joss paper. Joss paper items are believed to have value in the afterlife,considered to be very similar in some aspects to the material world, People burn paper houses, cars, servants and televisions to please the ghosts. Families also pay tribute to other unknown wandering ghosts so that these homeless souls do not intrude on their lives and bring misfortune. A large feast is held for the ghosts on the fourteenth day of the seventh month, when people brings samples of food and places them on an offering table to please the ghosts and ward off bad luck.

In some East Asian countries today, live performances are held and everyone is invited to attend. The first row of seats are always empty as this is where the ghosts sit. The shows are always put on at night and at high volumes as the sound is believed to attract and please the ghosts. Some shows include Chinese opera, dramas, and in some areas, even burlesque shows. These acts are better known as "Merry-making".

For rituals, Buddhists and Taoists hold ceremonies to relieve ghosts from suffering, many of them holding ceremonies in the afternoon or at night (as it is believed that the ghosts are released from hell when the sun sets). Altars are built for the deceased and priests and monks alike perform rituals for the benefit of ghosts. Monks and priests often throw rice or other small foods into the air in all directions to distribute them to the ghosts.

During the evening, incense is burnt in front of the doors households. Incense stands for prosperity in Chinese culture, so families believe that there is more prosperity in burning more incense.[4]During the festival, some shops are closed as they want to leave the streets open for the ghosts. In the middle of each street stands an altar of incense with fresh fruit and sacrifices displayed on it.

Fourteen days after the festival, to make sure all the hungry ghosts find their way back to hell, people flow water lanterns and set them outside their houses (a practice that can be found amongst the Japanese during Obon). These lanterns are made by setting a lotus flower-shaped lantern on a paper boat. The lanterns are used to direct the ghosts back to the underworld, and when they go out, it symbolizes that they have found their way back.

[美国大学面试英文自我介绍

欧洲人比较死板，喜欢拘泥于细节，德国人和英国人在这方面表现得特别突出。美国人则不然，待人处事上表现得灵活随便。几乎每个英国绅士都知道他们应该怎样做才不失绅士风度;而美国人，尽管有关礼仪的书充斥于市，却很少在礼节和习俗上统一起来。除了在上层社交场合，美国的普通民众在社会交往中大多摆脱了种种不利于人们接近的等级性清规戒律。

美国人的这种待人接物态度反映了他们的思想观念。在美国人看来，礼貌规范是由人制订出来的，它们不应该成为限制人的僵硬模式。因此，在美国，没有法庭制订社会礼节，也没有上层阶级强行规定执行这类礼节。各种社会礼节主要按照人们的生性习惯去落实在行动上。

由于美国人在行为举止上较少约束自己，他们在许多方面都表现得很随便。他们说话随便，衣着随便，吃东西随便，对人的态度也随便。不了解他们的人以为美国人放纵粗鲁，不成体统，上，这是美国人的随便习性。反映在英语语言使用上，美国人对它的“为我所用”态度，常地些墨守成规的老派文人痛心疾首;而那些广泛地浒于民间的不规则表达法，更使不少语法学家徒叹无奈。至于语言中含蓄地表现社会等级观念的词语，美国人常常不屑一顾，置之不理。

也可能由于美国人对清规戒律缺乏重视，他们的纪律观念比较淡薄，这常使行政官员和执行纪律的人感到头痛。有一种说法，说是英国人认为遵守规章是种乐趣，而美国人则把强硬要求他遵守某种规定看作是对他的不敬、甚至侮辱。美国党校里，学生纪律松散;美国家庭里，父母管教孩子不严;美国军队里，士兵自由散漫更是远近闻名。

令人惊讶的是，美国的教育还算成功，美国的孩子长大后大多成为好父母、好公民，美国的军队也偶尔能打些胜仗。这种看似矛盾的现象也许可以这样解释：美国人热爱自由，不愿被人强行控制，然而在真正行使自由权利时，他们仍受法律观念约束，有分寸地在自己的权限范围内“自由潇洒”。

事实上，尽管美国人表面上办事满不在乎，不尊重法律，但实际上，美国人是极其崇尚法治的。世界上没有哪一个国家象美国那样下功夫研究法律，也没有哪一个国家的律师象美国那样在政治和日常生活中起如此重要的作用。美国人可以无所顾忌地用粗话批评总统和国会，但对最高法院却以敬畏的精神相待。这也许是美国人在随便与约束上保持平衡、弛张相宜的最好例证。

个人主义与合作精神

说起个人主义，人们很容易想到利欲薰心、唯利是图的资产阶级伦理价值观，尤其是像美国这种典型的资本主义国爱。其实，英文里的个人主义(individualism)在美国有两层意思。第一层是它的积极意义，指的是个人自我独立、自我奋斗、自己掌握自己命运的执著精神。这层意义上的个人主义常与这样的美国人形象相联系：他是一个勇敢坚强的拓荒者，向荒野迁移，与蛮夷作伴，用自己的智慧和力量独辟蹊径，铺设成功之路，他所做的一切充满着创业精神和独特活力。第二层是它的消极意义，指的是个人为了追求自己的利益，置他人利益和公共利益于不顾，疯狂索取，贪得无厌。这层意义上的个人主义常与这样的美国人形象相联系：他是一个自私自利的投机分子，为了满足个人的种种欲望，不择手段、不顾一切地从社会和大自然中攫取有用之物，对社会福利和自然环境冷谈麻木，漠不关心。可以这么讲，个人主义的这两层意思是该词内涵所不可分割的一个整体，如同一枚硬币有其正反两面一样。

从好的角度说，个人主义有利于创业精神的弘扬，它给人以机会，赋予自由，鼓励多样性，从而推动和促进了美国的工业、农业、科技、教育、娱乐和体育的发展。从坏的角度来讲，个人主义的无节制膨胀给大自然造成了很大的破坏，也给社会中的人际关系抹上了一层厚厚的冷霜。许多人在冷酷的个人主义的竞争、挤压下，或生活潦倒、心灰意懒，或人性扭曲、愤世嫉俗。因此，从个人主义的积极、消极两方面因素来看，问题的关键是如何抑恶扬善，而这也是美国文化中始终没有妥善解决的“难结”。

不过，令人值得我味的是，美国人虽然个人主义强盛，但他们也很愿意合作。可以这么讲，除英国之外，西文国家中没有哪个国家象美国人那样愿意为某种共同的目的而自愿联合起来;没有哪个国家私人的联合会有美国那样多和那样卓有成效。

在欧洲大陆，建立一个教会、一所学院、一座医院、一个慈善机关，往往费时费劲，困难重重。但在美国，只要个人或团体有兴趣就可以轻易地建立这类机构。于是，各种各样的纷纷成立――乐施行善的、繁荣商业的组织、影响政治的组织、收集历史资料的组织、规划未来的组织、研究文化的组织、拥有枪支的组织等等，不一而足。几乎社会上的每个人都有自己的组织：学校里的男女孩子，商人和学者，朋友和领居，老移民和新移民，素食者和戒酒者，集邮爱好者，心脏病患者等，统统都有自己的组织。这种现象说明，人们在追求个性发展的同时，仍注重团体组织的建设，以保证社会能有秩序和稳定，使个人利益和集体利益之间达到一定程度的平衡。

标新立异

美国人可能是世界上最热衷于、也善于标新立异的民族。无论是从当年美国建国元勋建立美国联邦制政体来说，还是从美国最早决定政教分离来看;无论是从美国人在科学技术的发明创造来说，还是从症状国人在建筑工艺上的刻意创新来看;也无论是从当代美国青年爱理“朋克”头或阴阳头来说，还是从美国男男女女穿着的千奇百怪的服装来看，美国人处处显露出一种与众不同、别具一格的追求，一种极为自信、我行我素的风格。

从历史上讲，美国人的标新立异精神始于殖民时期。那时，许多政治或宗教上受迫害的欧洲人，尤其是英国人，认为欧洲受王权和神权统治，权贵们终日忙于勾民斗角，互相残杀，造成整个欧洲一直战火不断，民不聊生，生活无望。为了逃避这个腐败世界，这些欧洲人不惜冒着生命危险，远涉重洋，来到了北美这块荒芜之地。他们之所以离乡背井，甘冒危险，重要原因之一就是为了在“新”世界里创建一个有别于、相异于旧世界的社会――所谓的“山巅之城”(a city upon the hill)，供世人景仰，让世人仿效。在这样一个社会里，他们要设法使新建立的国家不仅在政府体制和社会结构上与欧洲国家不同，而且还要在思想观念和生活方式上与欧洲国家形成鲜明的对照。

从文化观念上讲，美国人的标新立异与他们的个人主义观念密切相关。我们知道，个信义的主旨是突出个人价值的本质，崇尚个人特性，而要突出个人价值，完成个性塑造，必然要求人们与众不同，标新立异。唯有如此，方可使自己在芸芸众生中鹤立鸡群，独领风骚。由于生活在这种文化氛围下的社会成员人人都追求创新、个个都刻意求胜，美国人对新奇的东西不仅能宽容地接受，而且还常常大加赞赏，褒扬一番。

也许因为标新立异观念已深深扎根于美国文化地壤，所以它反映在美国社会生活中的方方面面。譬如，有的人造了一些奇大无比的轿车，内设厨房、游泳池、电话、电视、客厅等各类设施。也有人别出心裁，拉上自己心爱的人，坐上热气球，待徐徐升空后，才向众人宣布此为婚礼仪式。还有的人更令人叫绝，竟三五成群地爬上电线杆子，互相比赛谁能在电线杆子上坐的时间更长。这类追求新奇性的事例在美国比比皆是，不胜枚举。这恐怕也是“吉尼斯纪录”不断被破、《吉尼斯世界大全》不停出版新版本的主要原因之所在。

破除神秘

世界上的不少民族有浓郁的神秘感，如非洲的一些民族和拉美中的一些民族对大自然、对上苍、对人类自身等事物怀有深厚的神秘感。他们或者对这些东西顶礼膜拜，深信不疑，或者对这些东西敬畏不已，不敢越雷池半步。美国人与这些民族迥然不同，少有诸如此类的神秘感。如果美国人发现某些东西过于神秘，他们往往没法将其破除，使它暴露“庐山真面目”。

举例来说。政治在许多国家往往充满神秘感，国家领导人的确定，党派之间的倾轧较量，重大政策的决定，以及政府机制的动作过程等，对平民百姓来讲是一个永远解不开的迷。然而在美国，政治像一场颇具观赏性的游戏，普通老百姓可以借助报纸、电视等大众传播媒介，观摩政客们互相攻击、互相嘲弄、互相指责等各方面的精彩表演。大至总统竞选、国会听证会，小至学生会与校董会的冲突，人们无不可以从中窥见政治游戏中的权术运用、利益交换和官官相护等事例。只要美国政客们在玩政治游戏时遵守有关规章制度，他们就能够得到作为观众的选民们的认可一样。如果政客们违反有关规则，如尼克松的水门事件、里根的伊朗门事件，那么，他们就要受到有关机构的查询和调查，乃至曝光出丑。所以说，美国的政治因透明度较高而较少有神秘感，普通百姓对政治机制的运作也因此而有相当程度的了解。

还有，美国人的宗教热情很高，但这种对上苍的敬畏并没有阻碍美国人揭开上帝创造的这个世界之迷的勇气和努力。从西部边疆的开发，到外层空间的探索，从海底资源的研究，到大气资源的探索，美国人似乎并不因上帝的万能而被震摄住，而是无所顾忌地大胆试验，勇敢地利用科学知识来解答大自然中的秘密。

美国人破除感的最显著例子表现在他们对人自身的认识上。《圣经》上讲，上帝创造了人。在美国，近95%的人自称相信上帝。但美国人对医生开胸破肚移植心脏、肾脏等“动手动脚”行为非但无异议，反而赞叹不已。更有甚者，美国人竟然违背“上帝造人”之千古常理，胆大妄为地搞起试管婴儿。当然，最令人难以置信的是，美国人的性教育已全面走向“社会化”。性成为油盐酱醋一样人人皆知常识，几千年来人类蒙在性上的神秘感被美国人揭露得一干二净。可见，神秘感在美国鲜有市场。在开放、自由占主导地位的国度里，神秘感之被破除尚在预料之中。只是破除神秘走之过极，使privacy也不能幸免，这总让人觉得有点“那个”。

英文作文（一）

Good morning， ladies and gentlemen， boys and girls. Now ，It‘s my turn. My name is Edgar， a high school student. I am very honored to be here to give you a speech. Also it’s a good chance for me to improve my English. I hope I can make a good performance today. The topic of my speech is “After studying here”.

Before I came here，I can never imagine that I can learn so much knowledge about other countries， which can‘t be got from my books in school. Three months ago， I took my first class. Unfortunately， I felt so embarrassed， because I even can’t speak any words， though I know I really love English .

After that， I took some of my tutor‘s advice and previewed the lesson that I’ll learn. What‘s more， In every class， I JUST try my best to say as much as possible. Now，I can only remember It’s a really hard time. What‘s worse， I had to go to my high school and went there at the same time.

After several weeks， I began to get used to the atmosphere in web .At least I’m not afraid to speak in front of my tutor and  foreign teachers.

During web‘s period，I found I had improved a lot， both physically and mentally. For example， how to be a confident person， how to plan for my future. And the most important is that I have learnt how to communicate with others， which is a necessary skill. Nowadays studying is not the only thing that we high school students should do， there are some more important things we have ignored.

First， I am grateful for my parents. They have spent so much money for me， but never ask for anything in return. I really know how hard it is to work on such living conditions.

Now It’s time to introduce my tutor sally. It was she that led me to the right studying here. It was she that helped me deal with all kinds of annoying things. Also there are some other teachers that I appreciate， especially Laura and Anita. Of course， I like to take foreign teachers‘ classes. Anyway， thanks all of you！

I know I am young； there is a long way in my life. I have to face the difficulties and solve them by myself. But i know i must keep on my dream， I agree that If you put your mind to， you can accomplish anything.

I know i’m not the best ，but i‘m the most diligent one.I hope you can remember me ，an ordinary boy.
