关于厦门的英文作文优秀20篇

在海峡西岸，有一座城市，这座城市被人们称为“水上花园，”是个风光秀丽，使我魂牵梦萦的地方，那就是我的故乡-厦门。厦门这些年有着翻天覆地的变化，人们的生活水平像芝麻开花-节节高。

厦门在以前并不是个富裕的地方，有许多地方都是路面崎岖，即使不下雨也很难走。一下雨，路面泥泞的很，车马难行，由于家家都不富裕，谁也拿不出这么多钱来修路，也只好那样了。现在好了，改革开放了，大家都奔上了小康水平。平坦宽广的柏油路代替了那泥泞的小路。一辆辆崭新漂亮的小轿车在马路上飞奔而去。

原来的房子只有几十平方米，而且还破破旧旧的。现在，一栋栋高楼大厦拔地而起，即美观，有大方，各有各的特点，形状各异，开发区也是星罗棋布。

再说说我们的环保吧，我们厦门是个依山傍水的花园式城市，山多水更多。可是原来由于大家往里面投放拉圾，排放污水，清清的湖水已变得混浊不清了，还散发出一阵阵臭味，让人难以忍受。现在就不同了，到处都是环保标语，还有许多清洁工在扫地，水不但没有臭味了，人们还在湖两边的绿化带上种了许多垂柳，它枝条细长下垂，直泻而下，像少女柔软的披发，有像一条绿色的瀑布，优美而不失气势。从这路过的人们不用捂着鼻子了，而是驻足观赏。

以前，由于大家都不富裕，买不起电灯。一到晚上，人们只好摸黑前进，一不小心就会摔跟头，现在，经济发达了，到处都是五颜六色的霓虹灯，把大街小巷照的通亮。那一排排的路灯，把公路照得如同白天。还有各种颜色的激光灯，在夜空扫来扫去，特别是鼓浪屿，在灯光的照耀下闪闪发光，远远望去，犹如一座发着光的金山。厦门在灯光的装扮下变成了“不夜城。”

如今，厦门已经兴旺发达，愿我美丽的故乡---厦门更加繁荣富强!

说实话，这次去厦门旅游，最让我记忆深刻，是住那家五星级酒店：海悦山庄。

在动车上度过了无聊乏味10个小时后，我和爸爸妈妈一起来到了美丽“海上花园”：厦门。海中有岛，岛中有海。厦门就是这么一个被海水环绕美丽城市，我们酒店就紧紧挨着大海，这就是我喜欢这个酒店第一个原因：环境美好，紧紧靠海。

我一进这个酒店，就被那豪华设施所牢牢吸引，充足冷气让人心旷神怡，再加上一些淡淡花香，让人无可挑剔！不错！设施豪华，冷气充足，这就是我喜欢它第二个原因。

当然，前面是我自己感受，但只要住进这个酒店人，都会感受到一个铁定事实，这里服务态度极其热情。每次我们出门，都会有一个服务员笑脸相迎，说：“早上好！”或：“晚上好！”他们不允许走廊里有一个灯是坏，假如有，会立刻赶过来，认真修好。这次去厦门旅游日子恰好经过爸爸生日，生日那天，等我们玩完回来时，没想到酒店服务员已经悄悄把房间布置了一下，用玫瑰花瓣在床上摆出了“生日快乐”这几个字，还用一条毛巾翻成了一头大象，另外还送了一个生日蛋糕+蜡烛！两张床上以及沙发都摆上了气球！态度热情，服务周到，这是第三个理由。

每当我吃晚饭时，都会看到一些不一样厦门特色小吃，不像别饭店，永远老一套，这里没有特别奢侈菜，但每样我们去品尝时，都烧得不错。特色小吃，应有尽有。这是第四个理由。

这就是我第一天吃住在厦门情景，真，我对这个酒店和餐饮很满意，这让我对厦门留下了极好印象！

Hello, Santa Claus,

Tomorrow is Christmas Day. I hope you will come to my home and give me some

stickers?

I’m waiting for your gifts.

1.There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

2.We can’t live without water, but now the water was polluted. It is the biggest problem. It influences our daily life. So we should find a way to solve this problem. Water is important resources. In our daily life, we often leave the tap on after cleaning hands. Sometimes we often drop litter in the river. So the water was polluted by us. I think we could use a bottle of water two or three times. We have to turn off the tap after cleaning hands.

Let’s try to form a good habit and save things around us. Let’s do it from now on!

Fish can’t live without water. Plants can’t live without water. People can’t live without water, either. As you can see, the water is very important to us. But now drinking water is leand less. The water was polluted seriously.

So we would act quickly in order to save the water, But what must we do nowI think we can plant trees, clean the banks of the river, water the plants by using used water. Turn off the shower while we are washing hair. And we shouldn’t drop litter into the river and so on.

It’s our duty to try our best to protect and save water. And don’t forget that if we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be our tear

Water is very important to us. We can’t live without water. But the drinking water is leand less. Because we waste a lot of water in our daily life. And some of us often throw rubbish into the rivers. So the rivers are polluted seriously.

It’s our duty to save water, we must do something to save water. For example, we shouldn’t pour waste water into the rivers and we should pick up litter around us.

If we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be our tear

Dear Mr Pan:

It has been a long time since I wrote the last letter. Nowdays, people write letters less and less, instead, they make a call or send a SMS. However, it is still a good way for us to communicate with each other by sending a letter.

Its my honour to get the chance to write to you. "Approachable" is my first impression of you, because you always keeps smiling. Students may fear the teachers that are serious both in and out of class. Smile makes a teacher popular with his students, you are a teacher of this very kind.

You always arrive at the classroom ahead of any of the students, from which we could imply that you are a diligent man with regular habit. Before the class, you like to talk to us, at this very time, you are more a friend than a teacher. To be honest, I was surprised in the first class when I learned a teacher at your age could speak English in such a fluent way.(I didnt mean you are old, youre young at heart.) Moreover, you know well how to keep your class attractive. Youve got such an active mind that you can keep talking during the whole class without a pause. I always appreciated your ideas and enjoyed listening to you. In your class, I learned not only the writing skills but also the presentation skills as well as much knowledge of other areas. Thanks for your excellent teaching.

Ive got some suggestions for you. It seems that we students have got few chances to participate in discussion during the class time. Most of the time, we are listening. Seldom did we express our own ideas. I suggest that teachers should interact with students more frequently in the class. Besides, Id like to practice writing more, so would you please leave us more assignments?

Happy new year.

With every good wish.

Yours sincerely Dali Wang

[给英语老师的一封信,英文作文

The Culture of China is home to one of the worlds oldest and most complex civilizations. China boasts a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic, philosophical, political, and scientific advancement. Though regional differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion connect a culture distinguished by such significant contributions such as Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout most of Imperial Chinas history and strongly influenced other countries in East Asia. Mastery of Confucian texts provided the primary criterion for entry into the imperial bureaucracy.

With the rise of Western economic and military power beginning in the mid-19th century, Western systems of social and political organization gained adherents in China. Some of these would-be reformers rejected Chinas cultural legacy, while others sought to combine the strengths of Chinese and Western cultures.

China is a unified nation consisting of many different ethnic groups. Fifty-six different ethnic groups make up the great Chinese national family. Because the Han people accounts for more than ninety percent of Chinas population, the remaining fifty-five groups are generally referred to as "ethnic minorities." Next to the majority Han, the Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, and Uygur peoples comprise the largest ethnic groups. Although Chinas ethnic minorities do not account for a large portion of the population, they are distributed over a vast area, residing in every corner of China.

Particularly since the implementation of Chinas opening and reform policy, the central government has increased investment in minority areas and accelerated their opening to the outside world. This has resulted in an upsurge of economic development in these areas. Each of Chinas ethnic minority groups possesses a distinctive culture. The Chinese government respects minority customs, and works to preserve, study, and collate the cultural artifacts of Chinas ethnic minority groups. The government vigorously supports the development of minority culture and the training of minority cultural workers, and fosters the development of traditional minority medicine.

The relation among Chinas ethnic groups can be described as "overall integration, local concentration, mutual interaction." Concentrations of ethnic minorities reside within predominantly Han areas, and the Han people also reside in minority areas, indicating that there has been extensive exchanges among Chinas ethnic groups since ancient times. With the development of the market economy, interaction among ethnic groups has become even more active in the areas of government, economics, culture, daily life, and marriage. Linked by interdependence, mutual assistance, and joint development, their common goals and interests creating a deep sense of solidarity, Chinas ethnic groups resemble a great national family, together building Chinese civilization.

I hope to hold a job that excites me.I want to have a successful career so that I can take care of my family,and the best way to do that is to work in an area that I am interested in,so that I can be constantly motivated.With that condition,I will do my best.Of course,other pleasant qualities include having a nice boss and friendly coworkers,since a comfortable atmosphere is conducive to any process.I also hope that my job will be stable,so I wont have to feel insecure all the time.And if I have to transition,I hope that each job will prepare me well for future challenges.I know that I have the determination and talent to be a good worker.

很早就听闻厦门大学景色优美，人杰地灵，冠盖全国高校。今年这个夏天我有幸来的厦门，第二天就迫不及待的与小伙伴们一起参观了美丽的厦门大学。

随着长长的队伍，我们走进了校园，就像走进了一个大的园林。校园内绿树成荫，高大的榕树遮天蔽日，红艳的凤凰花如一团团烈焰在树冠上燃烧，路两边一棵棵高大笔直的棕榈树好像一个个绿油油的伞；远处青山隐隐，近处红墙绿瓦，满校园红花柳绿、鸟语花香，让我们瞬间仿佛走进了人间画卷。

沿着一条繁花似锦的道路我们边走边看，一株株奇异的热带植物，一座座风格各异的古朴建筑，让我们目不暇接，赞叹不已。不知何时来到了美丽的芙蓉湖。这里是厦门大学景色幽静的地方，只见湖边芳草铺地、绿荫环绕；湖水清澈见底、平静如镜。清风拂过，芙蓉湖波光粼粼、金光闪闪。不时可以看见调皮的鱼儿跃出水面，成群黑天鹅和白鹭在水面自由自在地玩耍嬉闹。优美的风景，宁静的湖边，驻足湖畔，清风吹拂，让我们全身舒畅，感觉人生是如此恬静快意而美好。

小歇一会后，我们继续游览，来到了芙蓉隧道前。只见这里人流如织，作为目前国内最长的大型涂鸦艺术长廊，这里虽然不是厦大最美的地方，却是最不能错过的地方。走进隧道，只见两边的墙壁上都画满了风格各异的涂鸦作品，有唯美的人物山水画，有可爱呆萌的卡通漫画；有表达祝福的，有表达思念的，还有表达寂寞的……。一步一景，虽然每个作品都是随心所想，但体现出的都是厦大学子的万千情谊以及对青春岁月的美好记忆。酷爱画画的我立即爱上了这条隧道，我拉着朋友到处欣赏。我们在一处色彩丰富极具想象力的画面前驻足，大家都同意在此合影。来来往往的人群使我们无法拍照，正当我们苦恼时，旁边有一位身着白衬衫拿着一本书的大哥哥看到，立即主动帮助我们，他对着人群喊到：“请大家绕行一下，有几位小朋友在此拍照留影。”路过的行人听到后纷纷给我们让出道来我们才能如愿以偿。我们与这位大哥哥素不相识，他愿意帮助我们了却心愿，厦门大学不仅景美，这里的人更美。

看完芙蓉隧道，我们又在校园里随意转了转，不时看到校园里三五成群的大学生，有的躺在草坪上聊天，有的坐在树荫下看书，有的在体育场上运动，有的在校园漫步赏景，突然使我对全国一流的厦门大学生活充满了无限的憧憬。我立刻感觉到自己学习上还要继续加油，各科全面发展，才有可能实现这一美好宏愿！

大家好，我是郑宇浩，今年暑假，我和家人来到了厦门，下面让我为大家介绍一下厦门吧。

厦门的别称是鹭岛，它拥有全国文明城市，海上花园等美誉，世界闻名的“金砖会议”也于今年九月份在美丽的厦门召开了!

厦门的景色美不胜收，令人目不暇接，实实在在的让我着迷。我们乘着出租车，来到了厦门最有名的步行街——中山路步行街。步行街非常繁华，人山人海，小吃应有尽有，让我大饱口福!

厦门可不仅仅因为各式各样的小吃远近闻名，厦门还有很多景点，让旅游的人们趋之若鹜。最著名的要属与厦门相望的岛屿——鼓浪屿。

那里的海滩别有一番“风味”，岛上的居民也非常友好。夜晚，天空的繁星闪烁，月光照亮了整个岛屿，多么宁静，祥和的夜晚啊!让人禁不住想低吟一首如梦如幻的小诗。躺在柔软的沙滩上仰望着夜空中的点点繁星，倾听着海浪的阵阵歌声，仿佛与世隔绝一般的安宁。

厦门的普陀寺也是不得不去的地方。普陀寺始建于唐朝末期，是佛教胜地。那里的美景也是十分地引人入胜。莲花池中，荷叶碧绿，荷花粉红，一朵朵娇滴滴的荷花就如同腼腆的少女一般，而荷叶在经过太阳的暴晒之下，绿油油的带着一股清香浮出水面，蜻蜓在荷花四周飞来飞去，就像诗人杨万里《小池》里描写的：“小荷才露尖尖角，早有蜻蜓立上头”。你看，这就是南海观音菩萨的莲花池。

普陀寺中的普陀庙也是一处独特的风景线。庙中的雕像各种各样，栩栩如生。有地藏王菩萨，有千手观音菩萨，有弥勒佛，有十八罗汉，还有玉皇大帝……各路居士都纷纷来到庙中上香，拜佛，捐香火。

厦门之旅很快就结束了，这里地一切都让我流连忘返。再见了，美丽的厦门，希望我们后会有期!

在今年暑假，我去了我向往已久的厦门，让我印象最深的还是鼓浪屿了。

记得那天，我与爸爸和妈妈一起去鼓浪屿玩，走到了站台，妈妈买了票，我们做上船向鼓浪屿进军。一阵阵的海风向我吹，十分凉爽，它可以把一切烦恼都吹掉，吹得一干二净。鼓浪屿的空气也很清新，不像在城市中充满汽车排出的尾气、工厂排出的一氧化碳。海边的空气令人神清气爽。

马上的船要开到了，我立刻跳上去，打开窗户看看外面的风景，真是太美了!谁能说鼓浪屿的风景不让人心动呢?不一会船就到了鼓浪屿了。我们一下船就走到快艇售票处，买好了票就坐上快艇，快艇开动了，它忽上忽下地跳动着，大家都被吓得大叫起，在海上转了一圈后，我们又回到料鼓浪屿了，我们的第一个目标就是海滩。我们两步化为一步地往前跑。终到了，远远望去，大海看不到边际，好像是水天合一了，多美呀!

等我走近了，我把手放到大海的怀抱中，大海有[内容]时候抱抱我，有时摸摸我，我俩像是多年没见面的老朋友似的，可亲热了。一会儿大海又与我一起玩乐了，它有时候趁我不注意把我往后推一把，让我倒在了沙滩姐姐的肚子上了，大海又常常浇水到我身上，像是在给我洗澡似的。大海还送我许许多多的小礼物呢，是许多漂亮的小贝壳，令人爱不释手。

等我玩累了，坐在沙滩上，聆听着大海给我唱的每一首歌，是那么的动听。

黄昏了，蓝蓝的大海变成了金黄色，我该走了我依依不舍地与大海分开，与沙滩姐姐再见，我坐上离去的大船，我向着鼓浪屿挥挥手，告别了他们。

今年寒假，厦门地铁终于在我这个“交通控”的期盼下开通了。正好大姨在厦门，于是我来了趟说走就走的地铁之旅。

到了地铁的路口，首先映入眼帘的是闽南红的天花顶板与黑色的门框架。地铁口就有几分的气派，我已经很期待地铁里面的样子，心里充满了兴奋。

从地下入口进站后，我的心里充满了激动，因为可以看到我梦寐以求的地铁了。我兴奋的想着：地铁会是怎么样的呢？速度会不会快呢？到底要多久到站呢？正在这时候一阵悦耳的广播响起来了，打断了我的遐想。随之远处传来一阵长鸣，这声长鸣像是答应了广播一声，而随之而来的是从山洞里传来一阵黄色的光，后面跟着一列巨龙似的列车飞快地从山洞里窜了出来，稳稳的停在了车站的玻璃门前。门缓缓的打开了，我怀着一颗激动的心，拉着妈妈和妹妹飞快地跑进了地铁里。地铁里面主要是以橙色与白色为主，椅子被安置在两旁的墙壁上，与平时的公交车截然不同。

厦门地铁不仅车内环境好，而且有一段路特别有意义，这段路是在海面的大桥上行走，不是在地下，也是全国首个海面上的地铁。当列车从地下钻出来的时候，我惊讶地站了起来，跑到窗边大叫：“地铁怎么还能在空中走啊？"从窗边望去，碧蓝的海面上大小各异的波浪闪着银光。海面波光粼粼，像一个个银色小精灵在海面上欢快地跳着舞蹈。渔船悠悠哉哉地漂在海面上，压过阵阵银光，而渔船一走远，被压住的银光又开始闪烁起来，而别处的银光又被压了下去。再抬头看看海上的高架桥有许多车正在行驶着，与地铁的速度比起来就像蜗牛一样慢，车身像自行车一样小。这时可以看见若隐若现的金黄色已经接近沙滩，要回岸上去了，我依依不舍的坐回位置。可是再往远处看一下，前面有个建在空中的地铁站，我万分惊讶：“太神奇了！怎么地铁可以停在空中？地铁站为什么要建在空中？”我怀着一颗好奇的心走出这个“空中地铁站"。

乘着电梯走出“空中地铁站”，我更加的惊奇了。因为这个地铁站简直就是一个城堡啊！它是用白色的砖建成的外墙，在空中有一个平台，那就是地铁候车站台吧！而平台旁边的墙上面安装了好几扇窗户，在窗户上面刻着几个大字就是车站名。不知道的人真会把它当做一座城堡，可想而知它有多奇特啊！

这次地铁之旅让我大开眼界，还让我这个“交通控”过了一把地铁瘾，真开心啊！

in the spring and autumn period, a man in the state of song raised monkeys. the monkeys could understand what he said.

as the man became poor, he wanted to reduce the monkeys food. he first suggested that he give them three acorns(橡子) in the morning and four acorns in the evening.

thereupon, the monkeys protested angrily. then their owner said, "how about four in the morning and three in the evening?" the monkeys were satisfied with that.

this idiom originally meant to befool others with tricks. later it is used to mean to keep changing ones mind.

7月28日，阿爸老妈带我来到了著名的“鹭岛”厦门。厦门是个美丽的海滨城市，我们一到厦门，映入眼帘的就是那些美丽的高楼大厦、干净明亮的街道。与杭州相比，厦门岛不算大，但是交通却很便利，大街小巷、甚至各个小巷拐角处都分布着各种便利的公交线路，初到厦门的旅客，不需要任何行程攻略，只要有想去的目的地，总能从这些公交指路牌中找到最佳的游玩线路，或是走累了，随便找一出租车，厦门热情厚道的出租司机总会第一时间把你平安送到你想去的地方，不用担心出租车绕远路乱收费的事情发生。厦门有很多美景美食，有美丽的厦门大学、有庄严肃穆的南菩陀寺、有集美食于一条街人山人海的中山路………其中我印象最深也最喜欢的当然还是厦门大学了。

在庄严肃穆的南菩陀寺旁，有一所全国最美丽的大学———厦门大学，这所大学背靠着山，面对着海，校园内一座座别具风格的红色屋顶建筑，掩映在一片片郁郁葱葱的绿荫之中， 走进校园，顿时仿佛走进了美丽的植物园，茂盛的树木、鲜艳的花花草草、开阔的大草坪、宁静的湖泊上，一群小白鹅从远处正昂着头、列着队悠闲的游来，光亮如静的湖面上倒映出它们美丽无比的身姿………这是一幅多么美丽的画卷！美丽的厦门大学真是名不虚传！

在厦门大学的校园内还有著名的芙蓉隧道，芙蓉隧道长约1公里，两面墙上都是厦大学生们的涂鸦作品，作品各有特色，创意无限，真是非常有意思，也让我大开眼界。

这就是美丽的厦门大学，这次厦门游，厦门大学给我留下了深刻印象，我以后一定要好好读书，希望将来长大读大学，也能有机会考入这样美丽校园学习那是多么幸福的事啊！

有两则关于同一条英语谚语Blood is thicker than water的译例。其一是“清水不浓血却浓”，其二是“血浓于水”。从字面上看，上述两则译例译得固然不错，似无可厚非。译文读起来很顺，又比较易懂，但读后似有不知所云之感。

这是因为译文的形象没能准确地传达出这条谚语的喻义来。

Longman Dictionary of English Idioms（p.28）上对这条谚语的解释是“The relationship between people of the same family is stronger than other，relationships”因此，这则谚语似可以借用汉语中一句俗语“亲不亲一家人”来译更能表达出“属于同一血缘关系的一家人比别人更亲近一些”的寓意。

语言是文化的表现形式。谚语同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华。英语谚语是富于色彩的语言形式，一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上，英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此，翻译英语谚语时，仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性（等价性）为前提，寻求对等的表现是不够的。译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段，力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言内涵色彩，才能使译文讽喻得当，宜于说理，又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。

某些英语谚语和汉语成语、俗语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。汉译这些英语时，可惜用与其喻义相同或相近的成语或谚语及俗语直接对译。这样不但可以比较好地保持原文的神韵和形式，又使译文易于为读者或听者接受。如：

Pride comes before a fall．骄兵必败。

Amiss is as good as a mile.差之毫厘，失之千里。

Two is company，but three is none.两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚无水吃。

Walls have ear.隔墙有耳。

Enough is as good as a feast．知足常乐。

有些英语谚语虽然在语言习惯和文化背景方面和其相对的汉语谚语之间存在着某些差异，而且所比喻的事物并不一样，但他们的喻义却相互吻合，而且表达方式也很相似，汉译这些英语谚语时，常常需要“易其形式，存其精神”，即采用形象近似的汉语成语意译。这样可使译文既喻义明显，又含而不露，且可再现原文所具有的语言效果，容易达意。如：

Two can play the game.孤掌难鸣。

Newbroom sweeps clean.新官上任三把火。

Speak of the devil，and he appears.说曹操，曹操到。

The grass is greener on the other side of the hill．这山望着那山高。

Putting the cart before the horse.本末倒置。

有些英语谚语意在言外，语言含蓄，寓意深刻。如果仅从字面意义直译成汉语，而不领会原文的具体含义及其效果，译文势必平淡无味。这样既不能表达意思，又有损于原文的语言形象和丰富内涵。因此，在翻译时，应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻义相同或效果相似的成语、谚语或俗语来表达，则会使译文形象生动，准确达意。试比较下列各译例。

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.如译成“住在玻璃房子里的人，不应扔石头”不如译成“己有过，勿正人”或“责人必先责己”。

In fair weather prepare for the foul．如译成“晴天要防阴天”，不如译成“有备无患”或“居安思危”或“未雨绸缪”。

Murder will out．如译成“谋杀终必败露”，不如译成“纸包不住火”。

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread．如译成“愚者敢闯天使不敢去的地方”，不如译成“初生牛犊不怕虎”。

One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.如译成“想吃煎蛋卷，就得打鸡蛋”，不如译成工“有得必有失”或甚至可以引申为“不破不立”。

如果所要翻译的谚语喻义清新，形象逼真，按其字面直译其意，就能表达出原文的喻义来，则可直译。这样做既能较完整地保存原文的表达方式，且又可丰富我们自己的语言文化，一举两得，请看下面的译例。

God helps those who help themselves.上帝帮助那些自己帮助自己的人。或“自助者天助之”。

Money is the root of all evil．金钱是万恶之源。

An empty sack cannot stand upright．空袋立不直。

Do as you would be done by. 以你所期望的别人待你的方式待人。

这与另一谚语： Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.“己所不欲勿施于人”很相似。

Money talks.钱能通神。

有些英语谚语常常采用对称的修辞手段。使用这一修辞手段的目的在于加强语势，宜于说理，读后有心悦诚眼之感。汉译这些谚语时，应适当注意保持其修辞色彩，以便体现原文的表达方式。如：

You may take a horse to the water， but you can’t make it drink．

如果按字面译成，“你可以把马牵到河边去，但不能叫它饮水”至少是没有充分体现这句谚语本身所具有的强烈对比色彩。从语法分析的观点看，在这个句子里，情态动词may和can虽然都表示“可能”的，但在含义上有所不同。这里may表示“事实上的可能性”，而can则表示“逻辑上的可能性”。并列连词but使前后两个分句意义相反，对比色彩强烈。在这种情况下，译文也必须力求对偶整齐，前后呼应，形成对照。如将此句译作“牵马河边易，逼它饮水难”或“老牛不喝水，不能强按头”会更好些。

总之，即使像谚语这样孤立的语句，翻译时也需尽一番揣摩切磋之功，否则译文就可能与原文“貌合神离”，文不达意。译事艰辛也许正在于此。

这个快乐的暑假，我们一家人去过了很多好玩的地方。比如温州游乐园、厦门鼓浪屿、杭州西湖……我觉得最有趣的地方就是鼓浪屿。

我们一家人先来到厦门，然后坐船去了鼓浪屿。船靠岸，我就蹦蹦跳跳像个小兔子似的下了船，奔向我期盼已久的鼓浪屿。

当我身处在这海天一色的小岛上，我发现我的期盼没有错。因为它和我想象的一模一样，这里又热闹，又有许多好吃好玩的景点。我们到了鼓浪屿的时候，差不多已经中午了。所以我们先去吃了，中午饭然后开始了鼓浪屿的旅游之路。

我们用手机搜索了厦门鼓浪屿好玩的景点。我们首先去了海底世界。海底世界里的鱼多得数都数不清，你如果让我说，我说上三天三夜都说不完。我最喜欢的就是海底世界的海底隧道。海底隧道有两个隧道，第一个隧道里都是小鱼，有的很美丽，有的很难看。第二个隧道都是凶猛异常的大鲨鱼。鲨鱼对着我张开了它那张凶恶的嘴巴，好像在对我说：我要冲破玻璃吃了你。吓得我要马上离开这个恐怖的隧道。

海洋馆出来之后，我们到了钢琴博物馆。那里有着许多古时候的钢琴。这一次可让我开阔了眼界！玩着玩着，时间从我们的身边慢慢流去。眼看就到下午了，可是海边的太阳，还是高高地挂在天空，炎热的天气让我想怎么去海边呢？我们只好去“小小舒”茶馆喝了一碗下午茶。然后，我又去图书馆看书。看着看着，我就不知不觉地睡着了。等我一觉睡醒，已经是傍晚了。再看看海边天空中的太阳已经下山了，终于可以去海边玩了。我们到了海边，看见沙滩上的沙子金黄得像金子；海水蓝得像天空；海面上飞过洁白如雪的海鸥。人们在海水中嬉戏，有的打水仗，有的游泳。那画面就像一副美丽无比的画，美极了！

到了晚上，我们就来到鼓浪屿的小吃街大吃特吃。我们去吃了非常非常多的网红店，我认为最有趣的就是土耳其冰淇淋。土耳其冰淇淋，虽然不是很好吃，但是很好玩。你去买的时候卖家总是变着戏法一样，让你没法拿到冰淇淋。

第二天早上我们就要回去了，我多想再玩一会儿，可是妈妈已经买了回去的车票。我希望下次还可以再来这个好玩又有趣的鼓浪屿。

Youth comes only once in a lifetime, therefore, it is important that we

should not waste those years in idleness and bad living.

This is also the time when our memories are best.We are able to learn more

during this time than when we become older. During our younger years, we have

the enthusiasm to set high goals for ourselves. We also try to overcome

obstacles which are placed in our way.

If we realize how precious youth is, we will be fulfilled when we are young

as well as when we are older. If we waste our youth, we will spend the rest of

our lives wishing we could be young again.
