1. Happiness takes no account of time.

【翻译】欢乐不觉时光过。

【解释】

这句话在写各种记叙文时都能用得上，一般放在最后一段的开头，常见于北京卷情景作文的“外出活动”类话题。一旦出现“大家一起出门，做了个什么事儿，然后回家或回学校”这样的话题时，就可以在文章的最后一段写上这样一句话：

As the saying goes， happiness takes no account of time. After 3 hours‘ work， talk and laugh， a gorgeous sunset reminded us that it‘s time to return. Exhausted as we were， we felt our time and effort extremely worthwhile，for 。。。(此处写上活动的意义，如“we devoted the whole afternoon to environmental protection.”)。

正如谚语有云，欢乐不觉时光过。经过了三个小时的辛劳与欢笑，壮丽的夕阳告诉我们，该回家了。尽管很疲惫，我们仍然觉得这些时间、精力花的很值，因为。。。(此处写上活动的意义，如“我们把整个下午都贡献给了环保事业。”)。

北京卷08年考“外出捡垃圾”，09年考“外出种树”，两年的真题都能用到这个谚语和上述表达，大家一定要认真掌握，活学活用!

2. Time and tide wait for no man.

【翻译】时光如潮水，奔腾不待人。

【解释】

这句话是“珍惜时间”话题的必备表达。既可以放在文章开头，又可以放在最后一段第一句。

“Time and tide wait for no man." What a truth it is! If the tide has receded， how can a sailor sail away for his voyage in the sea? Similarly， if the time has gone，how can we enrich our journey in our life?

”时光如潮水，奔腾不待人”，这是何等的真理!潮水退去，水手如何能继续海中的航行?时光流逝，你我如何再灿烂生命的旅程?

【注解】

1、为了体现充沛的情绪，这里用了两个反问句，形成了颇为严格的对仗结构。

2、这句话的汉语和英语同样精彩，值得玩味：在翻译过程中，使用了一个汉语写作中的重量级技巧：形容词当动词用。看出在哪儿了吗?对，就是这个“灿烂生命的旅程”。这着着实实是一个技巧!相似的表达还有很多，老师当场写首诗教给你们：

寂寞我的冬夜

去温柔你的黎明

湿润我的眼眶

去多彩你的黄昏

不安了生命的轨道

又渺小了宇宙的星辰

只期待与你相遇

是沧桑不变的真诚

哈哈，教了几年的英语作文，没想到中文文采也有提高啊，看来语言果然是相通的!同学们赶紧奋起直追吧，期待早日被你超越!
