英国文化英文作文（经典20篇）

各位亲爱的旅客朋友们：“你们好!我叫钦宸永，是你们这次天坛之旅的总导游，大家可以叫我钦导，很高兴能为大家服务”。

天坛位于北京天桥南大街，永定门内东侧。始建于明成祖永乐公元1420年，原名：“天地坛”，占地273万平方米，是我国现存最大的祭祀性建筑群。它规模

宏伟、富丽堂皇，天坛不仅在中国建筑史上占有重要位置，也是世界建筑艺术的珍贵遗产。天坛以五大奇建筑而闻名中外：一为祈年殿，俗称无梁殿;二为回音壁;

三为三音石;四为对话石;五为圆丘坛，即祭天台。

天坛的主要建筑祈年殿，每年皇帝都在这里举行祭天仪式，祈祷风调雨顺、五谷丰登。它是一座三重檐的圆形大殿，高38米，直径3272米，宝顶鎏金，碧蓝琉璃瓦盖顶。

回音壁，是皇穹宇院

的四周一道高372米、厚9米、直径615米的贺形围墙。墙身为灰城砖砌成，磨砖对缝，光滑严密。若两人分别站在东西内墙根，一人靠墙向北小声说话，声音就会沿着墙壁传到另一端，好像打电话一样，对方听得一清二楚，由此又名“传音墙”。

圆丘：坊石用“九”这个阳数来表现天象。同时，它又建筑得特别高大，登上圆丘举目四望，只能望见远处蔚蓝色的天空，四周有白古棂星门矗立着，脚下一片青白色石面，仿佛置身于太虚之中，更增加了“天”的感受。

旅客朋友们，我们这次天坛之旅到这里就要结束了，很希望下次还能和大家见面。

Dear Mother,

How are you these days? How is your work going?

Mom, I know that I have done a lot of sorry for you since I was a child, but

you never beat me and scolded me, instead, you reasoned with me.

Once, you and dad took me to the store to buy clothes, the lamplight shine,

there there are many beautiful clothes, all of a sudden I didnt concern about

the small store in a saw a white dress, the dress with a picture of a man

holding a little girl, little girl holding a womans picture, are there beside

the picture of a bunch of pink small butterfly in dance. I wanted the dress so

badly that I ran to you and said, "Mommy, mommy, do you see that white dress? I

want that dress!" You go over and look at the price tag. A: wow! This dress

costs a thousand dollars! You shook your head. I see you dont buy for me, use

"cry", while crying also on the ground roll. I had no choice but to buy the

dress.

Mother I want to say to you: "Sorry!" I have acted in love with you many

times since I was a child, but you always bought me what I wanted with a smile.

I know that you have worked hard for this money. So, here, I say to you:

"Sorry!"

Mom, I know how much you have given to our family over the years. Behind your

success are always a lot of difficulties around you, but you are not afraid of

difficulties, you overcome the difficulties. Mom, I hope you will pay more

attention to your health in the future!

Finally, I wish my mother a long life and a successful job!

Your child:

“海上升明月，天涯共此时。”日复一日，弯弯的月牙慢慢的变成了皎洁的白玉盘。每年这一天，都是家人团聚的日子，今年，我又度过了一个快乐的中秋节。

早晨，我早早地去了姥姥家，姥姥正忙着做月饼呢。我心里馋得不行了，眼睛死死地盯着时钟，两根针就像在赛跑一样，你追我赶。一晃，中午到了，我们一家九口人都到齐了，这时从厨房飘来阵阵浓浓的香味，我连忙走了过去，哇！可真丰盛啊！有糖醋排骨、烧鸡公、还有我最爱吃的蕃茄炒鸡蛋……看的人口水直流，席间一家人无话不说，其乐融融，每个人的心里都充满了美满幸福，我的心里甜滋滋的。

快乐的时光总是过得很快，渐渐地，太阳从西边落下来了，我最盼望的时刻终于到来了，月亮从远方缓缓升起。我吃完晚饭，就来到了一片草地上。黑夜，草地是如此安静、祥和。刚开始的时候，月亮像一位害羞的小姑娘，迟迟不敢露出它的身影。终于，月亮从远方的高山上徐徐升起，它穿过一缕缕青丝似的云朵，不一会儿，就挂在了墨蓝色的天空。远处，小河、大山都渡上了一层银边，湖里的湖水浮动着月亮的光华；近处，一座座房子摩肩接踵地排列着，它们若隐若现。哦，月亮，你终于来了！月亮就好象天上的大人，一出现就把调皮的星星孩子给镇压住了，群星之上，月亮端坐着，还真像“众星捧月”呢！月亮上，几个黑影正在动，我知道，一定是吴刚又出来砍桂花树了，我仿佛听到了“咔嚓、咔嚓声……”

苏轼说：“明月几时有？把酒问青天”。王建说：“今夜月明人尽望，不知秋思落谁家。”李白说：“长安一片月，万户捣衣声。”在众多文人墨客的笔墨中，他们都以月亮来抒发思亲之情，说到这，我不由得想到了去年中秋节时哥哥陪我一起赏过月，可是今年哥哥却没有回来，我看着月亮，仿佛看到了哥哥圆圆的脸庞，心里无比思念着他。

渐渐地，渐渐地，月亮被黑暗的天幕吞噬了，四周安静下来了，风轻轻地拂过我的身体，一丝睡意也爬上了心头，我们都要散去了，一个快乐的中秋节就这样过去了。

中秋节的早上，我们一家人去了奶奶家，我们带了很多月饼。奶奶中午做了很多馒头，我们吃得很饱。晚上我们出去看月亮。我们走到广场中央。我们仰望着月亮。月亮看不清楚。这让我们很失望。突然！奶奶让我们去一个地方。我问，“奶奶，你要带我们去哪里？”奶奶高兴地说：“有一个地方你可以清楚地看到月亮！”听到这句话，我们右边的那个人很高兴。过了一会儿，奶奶大声说：“我们到了！”我疑惑地问，“奶奶，这是你说的吗？”奶奶高兴地说：“这是你能最清楚地看到月亮的地方！”我们仰望着月亮，啊！多清楚啊！母亲喊道。我妈妈高兴地说：“月亮上有一个老妇人，一个小婴儿和一棵大绿树。奶奶正抱着孩子在树下哄它睡觉！”妈妈说，我抬头看着月亮。圆圆的月亮像一个老妇人，小星星像孩子。这位老妇人给孩子们讲了一些好故事。他们非常开心。

我们将看一会儿月亮，然后离开。在回家的路上，我开心地说：“我真的很想有一对翅膀，这样我就能清楚地看到月亮表面的东西。”当我们到家时，我想我下次会在这里看月亮！

一个国家就是一棵大树，而那个国家的文化就是这课大树的根;一个国家就是一栋高楼，而那个国家的文化就是那栋高楼的地基。文化是构成一个国家的根本，只有文化像根，一样稳扎稳打地，像地基一样打的稳、打的深、打的坚固，才能在风雨过后屹立不倒。中国文化博大精深，其中最能代表中国的只有它，我们中国的文化之根——汉字。

汉字，不但是文化之根，而且还有着怒久的历史。早在五六千年前，我们的祖先就已经在一些陶器上刻一些符号，这就是汉字的形商周使其，出现了甲骨文和金文。甲骨文就是刻在龟甲和兽骨上的文字，而金文就是刻在青铜器和钟鼎上得文字。虽然甲骨文和金文出现在同一时期，但是金文比甲骨文更进步。这是汉字发展的一个过程，也是汉字发展的前期。后来，汉字演变成了小篆和隶书，这是汉字发展的又一个过程，也是汉字发展的中期。东汉时期，隶书又演变成了楷书，楷书的形体方正，壁画平直。魏晋南北朝后，楷书成为了汉字主要书写体。一千多年来楷书一直作为汉字的规范体，并广泛运用。与楷书并行的还有草书和行书，这就是汉字发展的后期，也是汉字发展的另一个过程，再后来就形成了现在的汉字，这就是汉字发展的全过程。

中国汉字文化博大精深，每一个汉字都是那么的神奇、那么的奇妙、那么的优美。中国汉字是多么的神奇啊!每一个汉字都拥有着它自身的意思和含义，每一个汉字都形象代表着某物。中国汉字又是多么奇妙啊!有的汉字不但神奇而且奇妙，有一些汉字真可用“同字不同意，同意不同字;字同意不同，意同字不同”来形容。

汉字的奇妙在书法家的手中发挥得淋漓尽致，一点、一横、一竖、一撇在书法家中变成了越冬的校精灵或舞者跃动的优着舞资。可是当这些笔划组合起来就变成了一个汉字;当这些汉字组合起来的时候，它就奇妙的变成了一句话;当一句一句的话组合起来时，它就形成了一篇文章;当一篇篇文章组合起来的时候，就变成了一本书。多么奇妙啊!汉字不但神奇、奇妙，而且还很优美。在书法家手上，汉字的形态各异，姿态万千。或挺拔如峰，或清亮如溪，或浩瀚如海，又或凝滑如脂。著名书法家“王羲之”写得字被世人称为“惊若浮云，娇若惊龙。”从此看出他写的字甚是优美，而他写得正是中国文化之根——汉字。从此又可看出汉字的魅力有多么大。

但是，在如今的社会上，有多少人还能写出一手好字呢?现在，很多人都依赖电脑和手机来写字了，哪还有多少人能写出一手好字啊!如果你叫一个成天玩手机或玩电脑的人来写几个字，都是歪七八扭的，哪有多少人还能写出一手好字呢?让我们呼吁全国人民。放下手机，放下电脑，放下电视，把汉字学好吧!你要让我们的汉字在未来中消失，成为一个历史!

汉字，文化之根。它展现出我们中国汉字的神奇、奇妙、优美与它无限的魅力。不要让电脑代替它，不要让手机代替它，不要让电视代替它，不要让它悄无声息地沉下去成为一个历史。我们要它发扬光大，而不是成为一个历史。让我们呼吁全国人民，放下网络，学好汉字，让它发扬光大。它不但是我们的文化之根，也是我们中国的瑰宝!

Husband:

Merry Christmas!

Today is Christmas Eve, we have already made an appointment tonight you

want to accompany me to go shopping mall, to see a movie, but you cut once again

stood me up.

I was the first one to rush out of the office after work today. On the way,

I was wondering whether you would have another task today. I will not be a

lonely Christmas Eve again! Call and ask, "Do you have an assignment?" Just say

you wont stand me up. When I got home, I was surprised to find that you were

still at home, cooking dinner. I was so happy that I didnt know what my name

was. Looking at your busy figure, I am happy, began to fantasize about tonight

we go to the mall shopping, do not stop to call the mall in the activity. I had

my eye on a windbreaker for a long time, but I was reluctant to buy it because

the price was too expensive. On the way back today, I saw that there was a sale

in the shopping mall, so I decided to move it back to my wardrobe. We began to

discuss our schedule for tonight. Im also glad of my good luck today. However,

the truth is cruel, once again proved that I still have to spend Christmas Eve

alone. When we were about to have dinner, your phone rang, and by the

seriousness on your face, I knew that our date would never happen again. You

very guiltily say with me: "wife: we again tomorrow go to the mall ok? Its hard

to say youll get more discounts, more activities and more gifts tomorrow. We

have to go out for a while tonight. If its cold, go to bed early, so dont wait

for me. You eat first, and Ill wash the dishes when I come back." When I asked

you what it was, you promised to keep it a secret. The husband! Im a cop, too.

I have a sense of secrecy. I asked you what? Just to see how dangerous you are.

Why dont you understand? You! What a stupid pig. Im glad you had your head in

the right place, or I dont know how you ended up in the police force.

Husband, to tell the truth, both of us are policemen. I think my working

attitude is not as good as yours, my enthusiasm is not as high as yours, and My

work is not as serious as yours. However, since the second year after my work, I

have been an excellent civil servant every year. Last year, I was also rated as

one of the top ten policemen. But you, dont say an excellent civil servant, you

havent even rated a reward. I dont even know why? In your squadron, you did

more work than anyone else, did the most work (and of course, you were the

youngest), did everything that was dangerous, but at the end of the year you had

nothing. If I were you, Id have a lot of complaints, or Id be like everyone

else, and you wouldnt, youd still be working. Sometimes I have been wondering

whether you are really more "stupid" than others?

Honey, you must remember, you owe me another date. You stood me up again

today, I am very angry, but I hope you are safe. I hope I can see you tonight

before twelve o clock.

What an auspicious word "Silent Night" is! I wish all the policemen a safe

life on Christmas Eve.

因为我的家乡在东北所以我今天来给大家说说东北过年的习俗。

包好运饺子：过年的时候家家都包饺子，可是咱东北的饺子不同，据说、以前时候的好运饺子是在包饺子的时候把1个1元的硬币包在几个普普通通的饺子里面，现在人们为了卫生常常用水果硬糖来代替硬币，据说、谁吃到了好运饺子在新的一年里就会有好运。(在我们家常常都是我吃到的，因为硬糖是会化的，只要看那个饺子的外皮有糖就行了。)

年夜饭后吃冻梨：因为东北的冬天很冷，有零下13~20度，所以有的时候会吧秋梨和柿子放到外面去冰冻，冰冻后的梨和柿子真是别有一番风味，而为什么要在年夜饭后吃冻梨呢因为冻梨又能解酒、解油腻。

年三十点长寿灯，东北人在大年三十都要点长寿灯，彻夜通明。大年三十一直到正月十五元宵节，每家每户都要挂红灯笼，到了晚上就要点亮灯笼，而且要点一宿，不能关灯，意味着益寿延年，香火不断。

正月不剪头，东北人一般都在大年初一到农历二月初一之前不能剪头，如果剪头会克(死)舅舅，所以东北人很忌讳这点，没有人会在正月里剪头。“二月二，龙抬头”这表示着二月初二这天人们剪头会很吉利，所以在这一天很多人都会争相剪头，讨吉利。

初一初二不扫地，在东北，上了年纪(65)的老人都有这样一个说法，大年初一、初二这两天，不扫地，就是不愿将好运气、财气扫走。所以只有等着到了初三才可以扫地

这就是我们东北过年的规章制度，怎么样很有趣吧。

Dear Bob,

I’m sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday

afternoon. I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting

that afternoon. I hope the change will not cause you too much

trouble.

Shall we go on Saturday morning? We can set out early so that we’ll

have more time to read and select books. If it’s convenient for you, let’s meet

at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best. I

should be available any time after school next week.

Yours,

Li Hua

我决定写一封信向他道歉英文7

Dear Shelley,

I’m writing to apologize for not watering your jasmine, which caused

its death, while you were away.Now let me explain what

happened to me and my family.

I was so busy preparing for the coming exam that I had no time for

other things. What’s more, my mother had her ankle

injured while she was walking, so I had to take good care of her, who stayed at

home alone. That was why I failed to water your favorite plant. I would like to

buy a new one as a compensation for your loss. Please forgive me.

I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies.

Yours,

Li Hua

长城，一个时代的烙印;长城，一个民族的象征;长城，一个文明的瑰宝;长城，一个智慧的结晶。

举世闻名的长城长度超过了21196.184米，它被称为“万里长城”可谓是名副其实，长城是公元前1057年开始修建，延续修筑了近2000年，长城是世界上修筑时间最长，工程量最大的建筑，1987年申遗成功，它用于防御外族入侵，保护中原经济发展。

长城并不是一道单独的城墙，而是由许多防御工程组合而成的。如敌楼、烽火台、关城、卫所......

墙身是主要部分，平均高7.8米，紧要的地方较高，一般的地方较低。墙身也是防御敌人的主要部分，一般宽6.5米到7.8米之间，墙身是由外檐墙和内檐墙构成，内填泥土碎石，城墙上也有防御敌人的设备，如垛子、城台、瞭望口等，这些设备都为士兵的战斗和观察情况做了一定的辅助。

远望长城，气势磅礴，蜿蜒万里，四周是危峰兀立，高耸雄伟的青山，长城犹如一条巨龙，盘绕于峰峦之间，可谓是“长城地势险，万里与云平”。曾有一位宇航员说，在太空中远望地球，最明显的建筑物便是长城了。

站在这用巨大条石铺成的地面上，我不禁感受到人们建造长城的不易，我仿佛看到了烽火台上，狼烟四起的场景。

万里长城是座不朽的奇迹，是中华人民智慧的结晶，是中华民族悠久历史的象征，也是中华人民英勇不屈的体现。

在中国，有一座十分壮观的皇家林园，那就是清代伟大的建筑——颐和园，它位于中国首都——北京。

进入颐和园园区，便看到十七孔桥，它有十七个桥洞，这座桥是用汉白玉筑成的。桥的两边栏杆上有500多只石狮子，它们站在栏杆上，形态各异，大小不一，惟妙惟肖，有的威猛雄大，虎视眈眈地盯着前方;有的身材矮小，戏耍着石球，栩栩如生;还有的弓着身体，好像随时都要捕抓猎物，鲜活而灵动。

走过十七孔桥，就可以看到清澈见底的昆明湖。湖底的鱼儿欢快地游着泳，乌龟悠闲地向前划着。湖边的杨柳姑娘梳着自己绿色的长发。

沿着湖边继续走下去，便走进了700多米长的长廊。这个长廊雕梁画栋，石柱上画着花鸟鱼虫等画，惟妙惟肖。鱼儿就像在石柱上游来游去，虫子也在上面自由活动，小鸟在那飞来飞去，精美无比。墙壁上屋顶上画着梅兰竹菊等，每幅画都各不相同，各有特色。整个长廊共有画作近万幅，每一幅都令人啧啧称奇。

夏天，也有许多游人在此处乘凉，这真是一个纳凉的好地方。人们在长廊里吹、拉、弹、唱无比热闹，充满人间烟火的气息。

颐和园是世界文化遗产，是著名的皇家园林，是一个令人流连忘返的地方。这也是中国园林的代表，向我们展示了中国皇家园林的传统风貌，被誉为“中国园林博物馆。”

西安是一个历史悠久的古城，被称为十三朝古都，一共出了74代皇帝。这么有历史的地方，爱好旅行的我怎会错过?所以前年暑假，妈妈妹妹和我慕名前去一睹古城风貌。

先不说西安的大雁塔、古城墙，最要紧的是先去参观被称作“世界第八大奇迹”的兵马俑。我在书本上早就学过关于兵马俑的文章，可是它究竟长的是什么样的，我要亲眼去看看。

我们顶着炎炎烈日来到了秦始皇兵马俑的参观景点，排队参观的游客真多!看来跟我一样想亲眼目睹兵马俑真面目的人真不少。兵马俑分别有1号坑，2号坑和3号坑。一号坑规模最大，东西长216米，宽62米，面积13260平方米。二号坑东西长124米，宽98米，面积为6000平方米。三号坑面积520平方米。

我们重点参观的是一号坑。走进一号坑，我被眼前的景象震撼了!巨大的深坑中排列着一队队兵马俑，令人眼花缭乱，不知从何看起。正好有大学生志愿者讲解员，我们就请一位大哥哥带我们参观。

我们在一号坑看到的兵马俑大都是完整的，是灰土色的，这都是出土后经过修复的。而它们在出土时大部分都已经损坏了，要不没有脑袋，要不没有手臂，要不没有脚，要不没有上半身，很多都是残片了，原本的的颜色也是五颜六色。

考古学家证明，从根据挖掘的兵马俑坑来看，兵马俑曾经被毁坏过。在如今发掘出的兵马俑坑中，能明显的看见兵马俑像是被盗过，并且还用大火毁灭过，在兵马俑坑中如今还残留着大火烧过的痕迹。

兵马俑跟真人一样大小，武士俑身材健壮，每个兵马俑都长得不一样，神态表情也各不相同，有的双目炯炯有神，有的凝视远方，有的若有所思……

我这次参观只能算走马观花，虽然亲眼看见了一个个兵马俑，但是关于兵马俑的很多知识我并没有弄清楚，只能留着下次再来好好研究了。

今年暑假去北京，印象最深的是北京的明清建筑，不管是故宫、长城，还是园林、陵园的一砖一瓦都有着美丽的故事。我在感叹故宫之气派时，又觉园林之别致，它不仅有着皇家的尊贵，更有江南水乡的灵巧。可惜万园之园的圆明园被八国联军付之一炬，所幸还有一座寓意深刻的颐和园保存了下来。

颐和园被誉为中国四大名园之一，是清乾隆为其母修建的园子，原名“清漪园”，其中蕴含着为儿的孝心一片。

颐和园南面是占园2/3面积的昆明湖。从园中示意图可看出，湖形像个桃子，顾名思义，是只寿桃。湖畔有世界第一的长廊，长728米，体形“瘦”，寓意为“长寿”，有画多幅，长廊就像寿桃的两片鲜嫩绿叶，把昆明湖的零星美景连成一片，真是美不胜收。

走过排云门，朝南看依次排列着二宫殿、排云殿、德辉殿、佛香阁，终至山巅的智慧海，为中轴线上的园林主体建筑。导游带我们朝南往北走，静静的湖水中有着历史的悲伤，原来那里原本有条船，叫石舫，石舫是乾隆之希望他不信水能覆舟，希望清朝能像石船一样永不沉没，可谁想，英法联军用炸弹炸翻了石舫，乾隆在天之灵难安啊!后来慈禧挪用海军军费，建起了西式石舫，是园林中唯一具有西洋风格的建筑，并取名清晏，名“清晏舫”，谐和的大清之意。这艘大清之船，在极度奢靡腐烂中，驶向了死亡之路!

乾隆怎会想到，他辛辛苦苦令人修建的颐和园竟会在几百年后有成千上万的人来参观，来批判这里的奢靡!

为了收集传统文化，我打算去文化用品市场三楼的“非遗”博物馆。

刚飞奔到三楼，就听见让人陶醉的“瓯剧”的声音。我随着声音找到了播放“瓯剧”的地方，津津有味地欣赏起来。旁边的简介上说：“瓯剧原名温州乱弹，1959年改为今名。”我原来从不知道，瓯剧以前还叫“温州乱弹”这么搞笑的名字呀!

看完瓯剧，我又看见了一幅“画”。我看看旁边的简介，上面写着：“瓯绣始于唐宋，盛于明清。二十世纪五十年代，温州成立瓯绣厂，名画家苏味朔等相继受聘为设计师后，使人物绣推进一步，把传统的中国画与民间工艺有机地结合起来，在形式与题材内容上开创了一代新风。”这么说，这幅“画”应该就是“瓯绣”啦。“画”上的人物和景物，真是栩栩如生呀!

参观完瓯绣，我又看见了木偶戏。简介上记载着：“木偶戏又称傀儡戏，是由演员操作木制玩偶进行表演的传统戏剧。”我还观看了一段视频：那些演员一边提着绳子，一边摆着身子，木偶被他们操作地跟真人似的。最有趣的是，一个人操作者木偶，把木偶手上的帽子戴到了木偶头上。最特别的，是乐清首饰龙。

资料上说：“首饰龙起源于乐清沿海人民元宵节祈福用的龙船，距今有400多年的历史，中国灯彩最具规模，最具特色的传统民间艺术品之一。”这首饰龙，好像集中了所有民间工艺：有的在绣着瓯绣，有的在雕着石雕，还有的在表演者木偶戏。首饰龙不但含有的民间工艺多，而且还非常美丽：它的“身体”上有许多金子做的挂件，有些做出来的蜻蜓，鸟儿“停留”在首饰龙上，补上了些留白。

这些传统的民间工艺，是多么的有趣!

周末到了，我来到了颐和园。漫步园中，我体会到了它作为皇家园林的厚重的历史与美感。

颐和园位于北京西侧，占地面积2.9平方公里，湖泊面积占总体面积的四分之三。园内有各式各样的建筑和桥梁，无比和谐的美景让它在1998年就被列入了《世界文化遗产名录》，并在世界颇负盛名，被誉为“皇家园林博物馆”。

身在园外，你便能看到万寿山腰上高高耸立的塔形建筑——佛香阁。它南朝昆明湖，背靠智慧海，以八根巨大的铁梨木擎天柱为中心，结构十分巧妙，有众星拱月之势。它还有八个面和四个重檐，4米高的巨塔中没有一根钉子，构造相当复杂，是古建筑中的精品。在绿树成荫的万寿山上，红墙黄瓦显得华丽又不失美感，让人叹为观止。

湖的另一面就是创下多项世界纪录的长廊。它全长728米，犹如一条彩虹，把多种多样的建筑物以及青山碧水连在一起。更特别的是在它的每一根横梁和支柱上，画着惟妙惟肖的彩色油画，讲述了四大名著上的经典故事和民间流传的奇妙传说，它们构成了五彩的长廊和梦幻的色彩。

长廊的地板也很不简单，它们是工匠们从太湖湖底打捞上来凝练烧制而成。由于沙子被挑选、沉淀了好几次，所以他们到现在还泛着金黑色的光芒，质地也十分细腻，看不到一点破损。十七孔桥、镀金铜牛……颐和园的各种珍宝与建筑至今仍然美丽动人，为我们展示中国的灿烂文化和变化万千的历史。

我是兵马俑，一个人类熟悉而又不太了解的名字。

我是秦始皇花费心思建造的陪葬品，见证了这个朝代的兴衰，见证了那段鲜为人知的历史。我的出土，震惊了全世界，被誉为“世界第八大奇迹”“人类古代精神文明的瑰宝”。

当我被现代人挖出来时，心中充满喜悦。人们在感叹秦代人民的智慧才能和丰富的想象力的同时，我也被眼前新鲜的一切所吸引。

我多么想讲一讲我的故事啊!我们那时候每人都身穿古装，彬彬有礼。秦始皇也不像人们说的那样凶残暴戾，其实他是一个英明能干，颇有远见卓识的君王，将国家治理的条条是道，也为后朝的发展做出了巨大的贡献。也正因为他的仁慈，用陶俑替代最原始的“活人陪葬”陋习，才有了我的诞生，面世。

我在现代人的眼中俨然是一个“大明星”，每天来“拜访”我，来看我的有很多，有学生、老师、工人……有些人对我很尊重，有些人就不一样了，他们对我开着闪光灯拍照，还对我丢垃圾。不过现在经济发达了，谁要是碰我一下，呵!那就赔钱吧!谁要是想跟我合照，哼哼!白日做梦!只能与我的相片合照，还要收费，我现在可是个贵人呢!

连我这个几千岁的人都知道文明礼仪，现在的人为什么却要肆无忌惮的去破坏这份美好呢?他们在我面前胡乱拍照，只管这张拍的好不好，怎么P图，这个衣服那个衣服的，完全不顾导游的讲解，有的甚至还往俑坑里丢垃圾，这样的行为太不应该了!

作为一个中国人民，我们要遵守中华文化的传统美德，怀敬畏之心，爱惜、保护古文物，把我们几千年的历史文明好好延续下去!

Today I found time was a cruel thing。 Whatever man is， time always goes on。

It won’t stay to wait for somebody。 You can’t use anything to exchange time。

Time is also a fair thing。 Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high

reputation， time won’t leave them more。 Today I found I hadn’t enough time。

Although I have more than a-month holiday， but I found I had a lot of things to

do。 I had a lot of homework to do and I am essential to plete the homework as

soon as I have time。

“久慕名山，提酒携琴，何妨登临迭胜。相濡以沫泥涂曳尾，不若相忘江湖。”多豪迈的诗句啊!这就是神凤文化园的大门两旁那一副对联了!大门也毫不逊色，它依山而建，雄伟壮观，令人望而止步。

我悠闲自在的往上而爬，穿过了六句阵，忽然被不远处的亭阁吸引了，走进一看，原来是凤凰台啊!“凤凰台”三个字苍劲有力的刻在了亭阁上，据说这是景观台。我半信半疑的走进这造型别致的凤凰上，心想：“凤凰有什么美景啊!我早就看了千遍万遍了!”带着几分不情愿瞄了瞄。哇!太美了!以前我没有仔细用眼睛欣赏过，今日一见，果真名不虚传啊!凤凰绝美景色尽收眼底，那一湾碧玉般的沱江穿城而过，江面上络绎不绝的江蓬船在虹桥下穿梭，虹桥上的古香古色的窗棂上挂着一个又一个的大红灯笼，似乎过年的喜庆还没有消除。这大自然的杰作可真美啊!看见此景，我灵感油然而生，我对着这幅山水画，大声念到“会当凌绝顶，一览凤凰神韵啊!”

“哎呦!哎呦……好不容易爬上来了!”我无奈的说：“这儿应该就是凤缘亭了!”只见两颗梧桐紧紧相连。“凤兮凤兮归故乡，凰兮凰兮从我栖。”我默默地念了几遍，看了注示牌后我才恍然大悟，原来是凤求凰啊!怪不得用红线捆住呢!据说和好朋友一起走过凤缘亭会使友谊地久天长哦!于是我便和龙腾，杨植翔带着那份纯真的友谊走过了凤缘亭……摇摇晃晃的走过了引凤桥，来到了九九神阶。路旁一块字牌写到：“百鸟朝凤，九天之上，，每攀登一级，便是一次洗礼，心灵得到升华。”我若有所思点了点头。

当我气喘吁吁的爬上神凤殿时，就被那丑陋的古凤神祗给吓了个半死，它怎么能在神凤殿的最上面呢!原来，在很久很久以前，鸟中之王凤凰不忍心看见自己的伙伴们一只只冻死，于是便拔下自己一根又一根的羽毛送给每一只鸟，而自己却在刺骨的寒风中冻死了。顿时，这集虎座，凤身，鹿角的凤凰变得美丽起来，伟大起来。朝拜它的十八神竖立在两旁，显得庄严神圣。

后来我们又去了醴泉台，五德门，放生台，乘风栈道。这真是一次又趣的参观，可真让我一饱眼福啊!

American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.

Of tolerance.

The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. At this point, the U.S. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.

From a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. From the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. From the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. In a nutshell, in the United States, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument. For example, Jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and Christians are to their Christmas and Easter. For example, again, the United States by Chinese in Chinatown Chinese live and work; the same token, the Vietnamese immigrants in their "little Saigon" according to Vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

Americans of tolerance, in addition to the above United States is a country that factors other than immigration, and the frequent movement of the Americans. As everyone knows, the history of the United States in the development of an important part of her history of the development of the western region. At that time, the United States Blazers or hiking, horseback or car, from east to west, from north to south, wherever there are opportunities, there Jiuwang resettlement. The frequent migration and continuous replacement of the Habitat so that people will always be in the "mobile", and the occasional different facing the phenomenon of tolerance and more easily accepted. Moreover, the current migration also can help people expand the field of vision, known more widely know, the different practices with sympathy, understanding, and gradually formed diversity rather than uniformity of the openness of the concept.

As the Americans tolerant of stronger, so very few Americans to impose its will on other people, with China Confucius "by the others do not want to, not to impose on" the very Guxun like. For example, a husband may be a Republican, but he must not support the Democratic Party forced his wife to change political stance. Similarly, perhaps the mother is a Catholic, but she must not have forced her into a Muslim convert son to change religion. In their daily lives and habits of business in normal times, this spirit of tolerance is a common occurrence, commonplace.

Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden

City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and

Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost

efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of

existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.

According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,

performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and

various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as

intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of

ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in

intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the

historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity.

Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we

would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.

However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible

heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It

is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away

without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those

challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that

we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our

spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.

在甘肃省敦煌境内鸣沙山1600多米长的陡崖上，密密层层地建造了700多个洞窟，这就是举世闻名的莫高窟，俗称“千佛洞”。它是由建筑、绘画、彩塑组成的博大精深的综合艺术殿堂，是敦煌艺术的发源地。

敦煌莫高窟保存着2000多尊彩塑。这些彩塑个性鲜明，神态各异。有慈眉善目的菩萨，有威风凛凛的天王，有强壮勇猛的力士，还有一尊长达16米的卧佛。那尊卧佛侧身卧着，眼睛微闭，神态安详。这一尊尊惟妙惟肖的彩塑，让我们不得不赞叹古代艺术工匠高超的技艺。

敦煌石窟艺术中数量最多、内容最丰富的部分是壁画，西方学者称其是“墙壁上的图书馆”，具有很高的艺术价值。这些壁画画在洞窟的四面墙壁上、佛龛内，壁画的内容丰富多彩，其中最引人注目的是那成百上千的飞天。你看那些飞天仪态万方，多么美啊！有的臂挎花篮，采摘鲜花；有的怀抱琵琶，轻拨琴弦；有的彩带飘飞，漫天遨游；有的闭目凝视，侧耳倾听……飞天是由印度文化、西域文化、中原文化共同孕育而成的，是多种文化的复合体。如今，飞天已成为敦煌莫高窟的名片，成为敦煌艺术的标志。

敦煌莫高窟与山西大同云冈石窟、河南洛阳龙门石窟、甘肃天水麦积山石窟并称为“中国四大石窟”。它是我国也是世界上现存规模最宏大、历史最长久、内容最丰富、保存最完好的佛教和石窟艺术宝库。1987年敦煌莫高窟被列入《世界文化遗产名录》，它真是我们中国人的骄傲！

作文点评：小作者的行文结构非常清晰，而且详略得当，先对敦煌莫高窟的地理位置和概况进行了简单的介绍，然后重点介绍了它的彩塑和飞天壁画，最后介绍了它的历史地位。另外，对卧佛和飞天壁画的描写生动、形象。

商业和文化的接触增多会导致一个国家特征的丧失：

影响文化：文化不是静态的，而是动态的（not static, but dynamic)；—种文化的改变主要是由 于社会环境(social environment)发生了变化。比如说，人们的饮食习惯发生了改变，这是学习 夕卜界文化的结果(Peoples eating habits have been changed as the result of learned behaviour.)； 快餐文化源自美国，有些人将此作为财富的象征(symbols of wealth),从而喜欢快餐；另外， 本地的饮食文化会改变，以适应外国人的口味（suit the tastes of visitors);

影响生活方式：进口商品的增多，对外国产品的喜好（preference for imports);人们更加熟悉 他国的文化，而忘记自身的特点（sense of identity)，社会的团结也有所损害（an erosion of social solidarity);服装、饮食、娱乐等等都被两化了 （westernized),比如说，西装现在是流行 的男性服装(the suit is the most popular outfit for men)；

欠发达国家在技术革新中起到的作用甚微(play a small role in the technological revolution),所 以需要"出卖"自己国家的主权或者利益来获得国际的帮助（concede sovereignty and interests to other countries for aid)；贫富差距加大(widening gap between the richest and poorest parts of the world)；

接受西方文化的人们成为一个国家新的统治阶级（new ruling class);人们摒弃传统的观念 (renounce traditionally-held beliefs),觉得传统观念是过时的和低人一等的（outdated and inferior);主流文化会取代老式的和各种各样的文化（A dominant culture takes over diverse cultures.),人们不再尊重传统文化（lose respect older cultures),而传统观念最终成为历史 {consigned to history)。

商业和文化的接触增多会加强一个国家的特征：

外来文化让人们意识到自己文化的特点，从而更加注意维持这种文化； 一种特殊文化会引起世界的关注，人们会更加注意保护。

One of the most conspicuous trends in the 21st century is a closer connection between countries, in both economic and cultural aspects. There is a widespread worry that this will lead to the gradual demise of countries’ identities. This issue should be viewed and analyzed from multiple perspectives.

When a country tends to develop a closer relationship with the rest of the world, it does not necessarily give up its culture. Culture is not a disgrace to but an asset of a country. An indigenous culture can distinguish one country from others, attracting foreign visitors and yielding high income. As most tourists travel abroad for learning different cultures and sampling different ways of life, such as Beijing opera in China, Japanese tea culture and Thai temples, many countries have responded with protecting and preserving their cultural identities, in an effort to keep themselves in the list of the most popular destinations. Increased tourism instills fresh life force into these countries, aiding theconservation of their features.

While tourism provides a driving force for cultural conversation, some components of a culture, such as traditions^ customs or taboos might die out over time. It seems that in some countries, the locals have become more accustomed to exotic cultures. It reflects the combined effects of the invasion of foreign cultures, either through media or through direct business interaction. For example, two decades ago, sex was a

taboo subject in China and most Chinese people felt embarrassed to talk openly about it. Over time the Western culture has permeated into the Chinese lifestyle, and the Chinese people have broken many of their time-honoured traditions. It occurs in the rest of the world as well.

As outlined above, increased interaction between countries in the domains of business and culture can either strengthen or undermine the identities of countries involved, To date there is no definite answer to this question.
