高二英语作文：我的相册集（通用20篇）

There are varied ways of defining tourism. Some people regard it as a pollution-free industry; others think of it an invisible school, Both are based on an accepted fact that tourism cannot only produce profits bearing no pollution along with, but help broaden knowledge and fortify healthy. Aside from the above there exists awidespread theory, claiming that whatever is of the ability to increase in capital belongs to productive industry. In this sense, tourism should hold a position in the scope and ought to be treated as such.

It is true that there is some sense in the theory, yet another equally or even more important aspect should be granted more publicity to. Tourism, in terms of its objective purposes, has a social function which contributes to human communication. Coming from vadous social backgrounds, having motives and goals of every kind, tourists get together, draw close and exchange ideas of their own, from which a fresh state of mind will be created. So what kind of production is it? To the question we should have good reason to give a proper answer: it is a spirit production, a reproduction of relations of production. And the more frequently such exchanges are made, the more good they will do to promoting social and economic development of the mutual. If it is the case that making money through tourism means a dent we have made, so it foretells a fortune to provide cultural service along with tourism. Therefore, to keep close eyes on the latter involves changing our minds first, that is, tourism is by no means a pure economic concept, but takes plenty of ideological activities as its content.

To sum up, unlike other economic forms, the profits from tourism economy cannot be measured completely by means of how much output value, profit, and foreign exchange it will produce. In addition to the reputation of pollution-free industry, its social and far-reaching profit should be probed more deeply. As such the existing scenic spots ought to be kept in good maintenance, and some new ones exploited. Moreover, constructing first-class soft and hard surroundings is desired to attract tourists, the foreign and the domestic.

有不同的方式定义旅游。一些人认为这是一个无污染的产业;其他人则认为它的一个看不见的学校,都是基于一个公认的事实,旅游不能只一起产生利润轴承没有污染,但帮助拓宽知识和增强健康。除了上述存在awidespread理论,声称任何增加资本的能力属于生产行业。从这个意义上讲,旅游业应该在范围和位置应该被视为这样的人。

确实有某种意义上的理论,另一个同样甚至更重要方面应该给予更多的宣传。旅游,在客观方面的目的,有一个社会功能,有助于人际交往。来自vadous社会背景,动机和目标的,游客聚在一起,走近和交换自己的想法,这将会创建一个新的心境。那么什么样的生产是吗?这个问题我们应该有充分的理由给予一个合适的答案:它是一种精神生产,生产关系的再生产。而这些交流越频繁,越好他们会相互的促进社会和经济发展。如果它是通过旅游途径赚钱的情况下削弱我们,所以它预示财富提供文化服务以及旅游。因此,为了保持密切关注后者涉及先改变我们的思想,也就是说,旅游绝不是一个纯经济的概念,但需要大量的思想活动,其内容。

总之,与其他经济形式,旅游经济的利润不能完全通过测量输出值多少,利润和外汇就会产生。除了无污染的行业的声誉,其社会和深远的利润应该更深入地探索。因此现有景区应该保持良好的维护,和一些新的剥削。此外,建设一流的软、硬需要环境来吸引游客,外国和国内。

Happiness is dependent upon work. Sometimes we complain that we have too

much work, but we fail to realize that it’s our work that keep us moving on and

helps us to become a better man. Last summer I visited my friends in a small

village. It was obvious that working has become an indispensable part of their

daily lives. They all went to the field to plant the crops. The sun was shinning

above them and they looked quite happiness about their work. On their face there

were such smiles as I had never seen before.

Work provide us with happiness. Work is more than a necessity for human

beings. If we have no work to do, we will waste our precious time. That’s pity.

We will lose everything in the end. Work helps us to realize the importance of

life, then we will appreciate it more. Everybody who live in this society could

not live without working. If we spend every day idly, we will find life is

boring.

Dumpling is a traditional food for the China. There was a doctor named

Zhang Zhongjing legend, he used the dumplings to help cure the disease, we

celebrated the Spring Festival happily. Then,every Spring Festival, everyone

will eat dumplings to thank him. Whats the time now we can eat dumplings,

dumplings in our life more and more common, are more and more popular, but also

become a traditional food of the China. Let me tell you how to make dumplings. .

the first step to buy some dumpling skin, meat (such as pork, beef, mutton, crab

and so on), vegetables (such ascabbage, leek, carrot etc.). The next step to

wash them, and cut them up, add some salt, mix together. Next, put the mixture

into the dumpling skins. Finally put the dumplings into the pot, boil for ten

minutes. You can enjoy dumplings.

Human, science and nature, the three phase was quoted rates are inseparable. The wonders of nature, a little thing, through the baptism of the time, and meticulous observation, often can give a person with enlightenment.

Vast forests, sunshine give plants grace, to be able to get the nutrients and thrive. Such as the morning sun open the eyes of animals, everything is ready. Squirrels, squirrel, embarks from the house, looking for full sweet red pine nuts, all kinds of plant seeds and slowly by seeding them to other places. While the weasel feed on smaller herbivores, sable and then ate the weasel... As if people eat the big fish, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat plankton, interlocking between RACES, interdependence restricts each other.

Foreign scientists have done an experiment: introduce the sheep in a rare nature reserve, where the bamiyan, natural environment is superior, and there is special personnel to the group of kids to their natural enemies, Wolf, moved to another place. So the sheep started in the breeding. Until grass and low shrubs are eaten, the number of sheep instead of less. Because they live too comfortable, there is no enemy attack, the number that is too carefree life let their constitution also fell. Then the scientists tried to introduce wolves again. The result is in the relationship between predator and prey, good robust species to survive, wolves eat sick defect part. Natural selection and evolution, has been the nature and even the survival of human society the same criteria.

Cut down some trees, is to destroy a part of birds and insects; Killing of bees, small fish, can also cause cannot spread pollen, fish cannot reproduce problem... Sabotaged a part of the food chain, will bring ill-defined disaster. Because in front of the natural fair, each species, each independent individual organisms is so beautiful and full of value.

Because of the diversity of species and colorful nature. Want to live in harmony with her and get the kind of treatment, will be good to nature, to understand the nature, and have good at discovering and innovative mind.

人类、科学、自然，这三者相生相息密不可分。大自然的奇妙之处在于：一件小小的事物，经过时间的洗礼以及细致入微的观察，往往能给人以启示。

广袤的森林中，阳光雨露给予植物恩泽，使其能够得到养料然后茁壮成长。等清晨的阳光掀开动物们的眼睛，一切也准备好了。松鼠、灰鼠从居所里出发，寻找饱满香甜的红松子，各种植物的种子于是慢慢的被他们带到其他的地方落地生根。而此时黄鼠狼以体型较小的草食动物为食，紫貂继而吃掉了黄鼠狼……就好像人吃大鱼，大鱼吃小鱼，小鱼吃虾米，虾米又吃浮游生物一样，各种族之间环环相扣，相互依存相互制约着。

外国的科学家曾做过一个实验：将一种稀有的羊引进自然保护区，那里水草丰美，自然环境优越，并且还有专门的人员为这群天之骄子将她们的天敌——狼，迁往另外的地方。于是羊群开始在此生息繁衍。直到草和低矮的灌木被吃光了，羊群的数量反而越来越少。原来是因为它们生活的太过安逸，没有天敌进犯，数量过于膨胀，太过悠闲的生活让它们的体质也下降了。后来科学家们尝试着再一次引进狼群。结果是在捕食者与猎物的关系中，健壮优良的品种得以存活，狼群则吃掉病弱残疾的部分。物竞天择，优胜劣汰，一直都是自然界乃至人类社会不变的生存准则。

砍掉了某种树林，就等于灭绝了一部分鸟类、昆虫;捕杀蜜蜂、幼小鱼类，也会造成花粉无法传播，鱼群无法繁衍的问题……大肆破坏生物链中的某一环，都会带来难以言说的灾难。因为在公平的自然面前，每个物种，每个独立的生物个体都是如此的美丽而富有价值。

大自然因为物种的多样性而五彩缤纷。想要与她和谐相处并得到其慈祥的对待，就要善待自然，了解自然，并拥有一刻善于发现与创新的心。

As the development of Internet, people like to use computer every day, they search the Internet and know more about the instant news.

The Internet also helps people give their own opinion on the hot issues, some new words are created. Zhai Nan is a very popular word, it means the people who are staying at home all the time, they are less going out.

People can buy what they want by the computer and the goods they have bought can deliver to their home. So more and more people are like to staying at home, playing computer or watching TV, they will feel uneasy when communicate to others.

Zhai Nan is not a good word, these people’s lifestyle is not healthy, they should go out more and have the normal activity with others. Getting rid of Staying at home brings people the healthy life.

随着电脑的发展，人们喜欢每天使用电脑，他们搜索电脑，了解更多的及时新闻。

网络也帮助人们，让他们对热点进行讨论，一些新的词汇会被创造。“宅男”就是一个很流行的词汇，意思指那些整天呆在家的人，他们很少出去。

人们可以通过电脑买到他们想要买的，买的产品也可以快递到家里。因此越来越多的人喜欢呆在家里，玩电脑或者看电视，他们和别人交流会感到不自在。

“宅男”不是一个好词，这些人的生活方式也不健康，他们应该多出去走走，和别人进行正常的交流活动。摆脱宅男一族能给人们带来健康的生活。

Why do we study English, because English is the international language with the same.

When we talk about the business with foreigners, I only use English to communicate, so English is very important. If we want to understand the western culture when, must use English to understand their culture and history.

What how can we learn English well: 1, first to develop interest in English study (we can see English film from listening to English song, to find the learning interest in English). 2, English class listen carefully, as far as possible to answer the teacher#39;s questions in English, use English to communicate with classmates. 3, you can listen to English tapes of radio and television programs to imitate the pronunciation of english.

This is a good method for us to learn English well.

In addition to these methods, we can from the English books and other more effective way of learning english.

In 2014, a show called Where Are We Going, Dad was popular around China, in the show, five famous stars and dads with their children went to the countryside to experience the life.

This is the first time for the audience can look at the celebrities’ children, the kids are so lovely that all the audiences love them. Now a new show which is similar to the mentioned show becomes a new hot topic, but this time, half audience love the stars’ kids, the ones who don’t like them think that the kids are not as lovely as the ones before, even look ugly. So the audience speaks bad words in the Weibo, showing their dislike. As an outsider, I think it is so cruel to the kids, they are so young and innocent, they don’t know about the world, why should they deserve those vicious words.

Imagine if they are your kids, what will you do? People should be mercy to the kids.

在2014年，一个叫《爸爸去哪儿》的节目火爆全中国，在节目中，五个著名的星爸和他们的孩子下乡体验生活。

这是观众第一次有机会观看名人的孩子，这些孩子都很可爱，所有的观众都喜欢他们。现在一个新的类似的节目成为了焦点，但是这一次，只有一半的观众喜欢明星的孩子，不喜欢的人觉得有些孩子不像之前的可爱，长得不好看。因此观众在微博上对这些孩子留下恶言，以此来表示他们的不喜欢。作为一名局外人，我觉得这对孩子来说很残酷，他们是那么的年轻和天真，对世界都了解不深，为什么他们要承受这样恶毒的话。

想象一下，如果这是你的孩子，你会怎么做呢?人们应该对孩子仁慈点。

Dim lamp, I looked at the cup of tea, boiling water, the impact of time and

time again, let me feel the fragrance of tea. That bitter taste in his mouth, a

point slightly sweet, but also by my greedy mouth to the occupation, and eyes

dim, hazy outlines of the memory, can no longer be hazy memory already.

Work as much as “cook a meal,” a playful little, the teachers serious

“inhibition” the laughter of the Miao, the pressure of the heavy, “created” in

the dreams of us - growing pains. Open the heavy book of memories, that little

thoughts, perhaps tired of back and some memories back.

“At first” arrive, I am a fragile being “enemy” aimed at the

“vulnerability” opened a fierce shot, that vulnerable, I, in the “blood” at the

expense of ground could be a “sleeping inside burning the midnight oil to see

volume, Dreaming rang Beishi ”and I once again stood up. Those days are dark,

puzzled me, and learn and sometimes I have to find a seat has not yet withered

and yellow grass, and sometimes a desk, windowsill side to see the rows of trees

standing in the distance is hard, for the only be able to issue a final touch of

Brilliant Green. What are those trees? I have no way of knowing what effect this

relationship? As long as they are trees, would be sufficient. When I looked at

them a daze, the heart will be a myriad of thoughts, when my eyes back to the

tree when the mood suddenly see the light, the pressure disappeared and instead

engaged in learning among busy.

From the sixteenth of January to the seventh of February is our Winter

Holiday. I think everybody did a lot of things in the Winter Holiday. But I

didnt. Let you to listen to my story of Winter Holiday.

I spend a lot of time on the homework… Every day in my Winter Holiday，I

always got up late. Then I listened to the tape，it was nine oclock. Then I ate

breakfast and then I did my homework during the daytime!I’m not very slow but

the homework was too heavy!

Im unlucky on the playing too. I played firecracker but I hurt my finger

with the fire. Im careless to kindle the firecracker，so Im very unlucky.

I still unlucky on my friends party. In the morning，I wanted to get up

early but I woke up at 10：50. After ten minutes，the party would start! So I only

eat a piece of bread then I go to my friend’s home!And I stay at his home for a

long time when I came home. My mother and father were very angry and they

scolded me!

Im worried and feel unlucky on my weigh. Last term，I was 48 kilogram but

now I am 51 kilogram!I must to do banting!

But most important，I have gone to Shanghai Ocean Aquarium，I want to go

there very much because I want to see the horse，the monkey…in the sea. Now Ive

done it . It is a bright dot in my Winter Holiday.

I can always hear the news of education innovation after I go to school,

and many teachers are talking about the importance of extra-curricular activity,

which is believed to bring more creativity and vitality to the class. Actually,

the traditional class pays much attention to the knowledge from the books all

the time, which is easy to let students feel bored. As a result, every student

is so excited about the PE class, because they can enjoy freedom and play for

fun. Extra-curricular activity provides students a different way to broaden

their vision and inspire their creativity. Students feel relaxed and can think

in the active way. Many great people got their idea from the nature, so if the

teachers want to improve students interest, the good learning environment

should not be limited in the classroom.

Recently, the weather is always foggy, I desire to go out to play always goofing around by the weather. By reading the newspaper, I see this kind of weather is fog, its because suffer from serious air pollution is formed under certain conditions. The air quality around us, it seems, really worrying wow.

I learned from the newspaper that the recent most region of east-central China shrouded in a fog, there was a joke, "the furthest distance in the world is - youre standing in front of me, but I cant see you!" Miles "haze" fell to the general public had panic, mom always said to me, the air pollution is too serious, cant go out. Many pedestrians travel when put on a mask, in order to cope with poor air quality, but always let a person feel breath.

The first two heaven like a snow, full of expectation to the snowfall, thought the snow fog haze will dissipate. After a haze in the mist, however, in many places the air quality is worse. Newspaper has reported the effects of the cause of the bad weather, let I also attention of fog is increasing day by day.

In view of the fog weather continued, around a lot of measures to improve air quality, such as restrictions on vehicle travel, elimination of old vehicles, oil to gas generation and so on. But, I think, this is not the ultimate, government departments should fundamentally to solve the related problem.

Purify air, improve the environment, urgent! Let us all act, but also a clean world!

近期，天气总是雾蒙蒙的，我想出门玩耍的愿望总是被这鬼天气给搅和了。通过阅读报纸，我明白了这种天气就是雾霾，它是因为空气遭受比较严重的污染才在一定的条件下形成的。看来，我们身边的空气质量真令人堪忧哇。

我从报纸上得知，近期我国中东部大部分地区笼罩在一片雾霾之中，有人戏言：“世界上最远的距离是——你站在我面前，我却看不到你!”十里“霾”伏让广大市民心生恐慌，妈妈总是对我说空气污染太严重了，不能出门。许多行人出行时都戴上口罩，以此来应对恶劣的空气质量，却总让人有喘不过气的感觉。

前两天降过一场雪，大家对这次降雪充满期待，以为雪后雾霾就会消散。然而雪后雾霾依在，不少地方的空气质量更差了。报纸频频报道这种恶劣天气产生的原因带来的影响，让我也对雾霾的关注度日益提高。

针对持续的雾霾天气，各地出台不少措施来改善空气质量，如限制车辆出行，淘汰老旧车辆，以气代油等等。可是，我想，这还不是根本，政府部门应该从根本上着手解决相关问题。

净化空气，改善环境，刻不容缓!让我们大家都行动起来，还世界一片洁净!

Love is an art which involves deep emotion. It is a pure and lofty desire in ones innermost heart. Real love means not only a pleasure, but also loyalty and obligation. To love is to give and sacrifice. One who can not create happiness, even make sacrifice for his beloved, cannot be counted as a true lover.

To be loved you have to love. True lovers are willing to sacrifice themselves for each others sake. True love needs no expression in words. One glance is enough to make each other understand. A handshake, a gentle touch inspired by respect and admiration, will leave you intoxicated and remain in your memory. Even when you are old you will recall and cherish it with deep emotion.

Real love is unforgettable. With the development of science and technology, love becomes more noble, rich, fine and subtle. As is known to all, everyone is born with the right to love and also the right to refuse to return love. Human love exists with human beings. Wherever there are people, there is love.

Let us draw courage, confidence and happiness from love.

showing respect to parents is one of the chinese traditional moral

values.as most of the students today are “the only child” in their family, they

often regard themselves as the“centre”of the family, without caring much about

their parents. our school started a programme when the new year came.it is

“respecting parents programme”. ten“do"s”have been worked out for the students

to follow clearly and easily, including:

“remember your parents" birthdays and express your best wishes to them;

say”hello“to your parents when you see them returning home; and tell your

parents where you go when you leave home.” the programme has been successful,

and has won praises from parents and other sides of the society. people say this

is what we should have done earlier!

Life is a struggle. I shall never forget the most striking part of Henry

Wadsworth Longfellow s poem -- A Psalm of Life: "In the worlds blood field of

battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in

the strife!"

Ludwig van Beethoven was a typical "hero in the strife". He was not only

one of the greatest composers, but also one of the most persevering men. As a

deaf man, he went on working with his strong will in the last year of his life,

though he was not able to hear his own fine and original music. Another example

of persistence in struggle is Deng Yaping. She once said that her technique came

from continuous training, emphasizing the importance of daily practice to a

player.

As a student, I seem to be in a boat sailiug against the current. I must

make an effort to forge ahead. A little carelessness will result in being driven

back. Indeed, learning is a struggle against idleness and carelessness.

Following the examples of Ludwig van Beethoven and Deng Yaping, I shall take

great pains to urge myself on, moving steadily forward like a heroic boatman in

the rough sea of knowledge.

I have a big family, there are seven people in my family, my mon, dad, two grandpas, two grandmas and me. My dad is soldier, he works in police station. My mom works in the bank, she is an accountant. They both are very busy in working, I can only play with them in the weekend. My grandpas and grandmas dont work for company, but they are volunteers and often take me to do the voluntary labor.

I am in Grade three in Yuanling elementary school, my mom always tells me I am a good girl and should study hard and get along well with all my classmates.

In the weekend or holiday, my family often go out for travelling or other things, I feel very happy with all the members and love them very much.

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mothers day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天， 年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟， 这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mothers day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parentsback door.

她那天早上给母亲打去电话， 祝母亲节日愉快。随后， 她的母亲向她提起， 因为春天已经来临， 所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿， 年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. i know where we can find you all you want, he said. get the kids and cmon.

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

后来， 她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时， 他突然从椅子上跃起。我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西， 他说， 带上孩子， 走吧。

于是， 他们就出发了， 驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上， 那种天气只有5月中旬才会有：闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿过废弃的苹果园， 来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasnt a lilac bush in sight.

come with me , the man said. over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebodys farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. im sure he wont mind if we pick a few lilacs.

他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。

随我来， 那个男人说， 翻过那座小山， 有个老地窖， 几年前是一个人的农场， 四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信， 要是我们采几束紫丁香， 他不会介意。

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

还没等他们到达半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是， 孩子们开始奔跑。不久， 那位母亲也开始跑起来， 直至到达山顶。

那里， 远离了过往司机的视野， 避开了纷扰的文明世界， 高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束， 几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛， 把脸埋在鲜花中， 啜饮着芳香， 陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husbands pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure. finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿， 那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝， 那儿挑一束， 然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙， 像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。

然而， 他们终于还是返回了汽车， 走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停， 那个男人驾着车， 那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑， 她周围放满了鲜花， 眼睛里充满着向往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, stop the car. stop right here! the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

当他们离家不足3英里时， 她突然向丈夫大声喊道：停车， 就在这里停车!

那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么， 女人就已经下了车， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院， 因为这是一个美丽的春日， 所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头， 只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里， 独自一人， 低着头， 背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆， 将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头， 露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿， 都兴高采烈。随后， 那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时， 坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手， 手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。

mom, the kids asked, who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebodys mother?the mother said she didnt know the old woman. but it was mothers day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldnt be cheered by flowers?besides, she added, i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did.

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

妈妈， 孩子们问， 那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?他们的母亲说， 她不认识那个老太太， 但今天是母亲节， 她看起来是那么孤独， 而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。再说， 她补充道， 我拥有你们， 而且我还有自己的母亲， 即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。

孩子们得到了满意的答案， 但她的丈夫却没有。第二天， 他买了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后， 每隔一段时间， 他就会增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mothers day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old womans face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那个男人， 那个年轻母亲是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我们自家的院子都会散发出浓烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母亲节， 我们的孩子都要采撷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都会记起一位孤独的老太太脸上露出的笑容， 以及笑容里呈现出的那种慈祥。
