[关于能源储存的环保英语作文

这里记叙的是一个真实的故事，几年来，这个山村发生了翻天覆地的变化。我想这个山村发生的故事也许是一个缩影，让世人由此去了解环保的重要吧!——题记

山，一座巍峨的山。山那边，是一个全新的世界。

人，一群山里人。几辈人都居住在这大山里。

树，满山的树。青山抱着绿水，绿水映着青山。这就是山里人过日子的家园。

每天清晨，伴着初升的太阳，迎着小鸟的歌声，山里人开始了一天的劳动。在山路上，走得最早的，是一个50多岁的人——老村长。他不知道什么叫经济，只知道山里人要守住粮食。今天，

林里的鸟儿唱得特别口向，老村长比以前走得快。他不知道山要变样了。

下午，村里的小青年王明带来了一伙山外的人，还开进了几辆卡车。听人说，那伙人是来做买卖的。做什么买卖，只有他们清楚。傍晚，扛着锄头回家的老村长第一次听说山里的树能卖钱，大伙儿心动，老村长没主意了。卖，还是不卖，那一夜村长家的灯亮了一夜。

紧接着，有人开始探消息了。面对村民，面对这些以大山为依靠的人们，村长不知说什么好。他想到了因缺钱而病死的母亲，他想到了祖宗留给的大山，想到了村里的穷困。卖，还是不卖……第三天，有人开来了推土机，一伙拿着电锯自称是县伐木队的人来了。他们递给了村长一张单子，说是伐木合同。村长不识字，只知道在上面签个红圈圈，树木就能变钱了。

村长心里矛盾极了。他恨，恨一片片青山变成了荒山，自己守不住祖宗留下的树。他喜，从第一车木头运出山后，一笔笔钱涌进了山。村里人生活的确变了，楼房、摩托，王明还开了辆汽车……终于有一天，山变成了秃山，水再也不绿了。又是一个暴雨夜，村长被村民们叫醒，有人惊恐地说山洪来了，有人忙着收拾东西准备逃走。可是，晚了，就在山洪涌来的那一刻，全村都被淹没了，连同那张合同，都随着洪水消逝了。

“你不要在回来了!”。“砰”!门被我种.种甩开，发出沉重的声响，敲击声针一般划过我的心，好痛!我飞奔着，任凭泪水肆意的流淌。累了，依靠着一棵枯树，冽风吹干了泪水，且不带走我内心的痛楚，但将寒意降在我的身上。迷茫凝望着远方飘渺的房子，不知道那还是不是我寄托希望和幸福的“家”，一切都是那么朦胧与模糊，心中的“灯”瞬间熄灭了。

太阳将残留的最后一丝光线洒向人间，却不肯给予我一丝一毫。寒风的侵袭下，我裹紧了衣服，回过头，面无表情的望了望那个熟悉而陌生的地方，转过后，一直向前走，不回头。

激烈的思想斗争后，我离开了那个令我心寒的地方，心里萌生了一种莫名其妙的感觉让我感到有些牵挂，但我又不知牵挂些什么。我的头绪很乱。微风吹拂着紊乱的头发，姑姑的呼喊将我从沉思中唤醒，我才发觉我想得太多了。空洞洞的生活弥补不了我内心真正所遗失的，安抚不了我久久不能平静的心灵。寂寞难耐的我在姑姑的谆谆教诲之下终于决定回家。

下午，夕阳西下，太阳将软软的光辉洒向大地，温馨的光芒笼罩全身。我贪婪的享受着这短暂的温暖，因为不久我就要回到那个冰冷冷却又时刻挂念的话。我在路上慢悠悠的踱步，皎洁的月光洒向人间，我才知道夜已降临。在月光的沐浴下，在大自然的乐曲中，我不禁加快了脚步。

到了，到了，快到了，那座熟悉的背影主力在我的面前。月光不知不觉的在移动。黑暗已完全笼罩大地，邻居家的灯光已完全熄灭，在黑暗中我不知所措，惊恐的看着着一望无际的黑幕。走到门口，朦胧之中一丝光亮闯入我的眼睛，是那样模糊，又是那样清晰。，我微微弯下腰，从门缝里看到了客厅里那一站熟悉的灯，我轻轻推看没有上锁的大门。直到灯光完全倾洒到我疲惫的身躯上，我才从迷惑中清醒过来——没错，这就是我家的灯!就是我的灯!此刻，灯光已绽放出迷人的花朵，抵制着黑暗的.侵袭。他毕竟是渺小的，但它照亮了我心中的每一个角落，那是比阳光愈强烈的暖!他在召唤我回来!我陷入一片感动之中。

在走进，灯光愈来愈强烈，这突如其来的“灯光”是我的眼睛模糊了。朦胧之中闯入耳际的一句话语是我的泪水夺眶而出，“在等等，咱们宝贝女儿今晚要回来呢!”。那一刻，那一刹那，心中的那盏灯发出永恒的光芒!哦，我懂了：灯光，依然在!

我国把环境保护宣布为我国的一项基本国策。所以我们要努力做好环境保护。然而，现在有许多不好的现象，例如：许多人在街上随地扔垃圾，吐痰。汽车的尾气超标，等等。为了保护环境，保护我们的家园，我提出如下建议：

1、实行垃圾分类化。这样不仅能减少环卫工人的工作量，还能更好地起到废物利用，减少污染。

2、节约资源。建议大人买菜时，少用塑料袋，尽量用竹篮子。用笔尽量用可换芯的，减少圆珠笔外壳的浪费与垃圾量。

3、外出吃饭尽量不用一次性饭盒。绿色消费，尽量少使用一次性用品，多使用耐用品。

4、人类要想征服可怕的大自然，就必须尊重自然，爱护树木，爱护动物，爱护大自然的一切。

5、要从我做起，首先选择有利于保护环境的生活方式。善待我们的家园、善待地球，共创一个美好的生活环境。

环保是现代生活中人类面临的最大问题。要解决这一问题必须从现在做起，为了地球的明天，我们必须要从自己开始努力，好好地保护环境！

Ladies and gentlemen,

I feel it a great honor to have a chance to give a speech here, talking about the haze weather, which causes lots of bad effects on our health and life. We breathe polluted air, making us suffer from lung and liver diseases. Besides, because of it, the flights have to be canceled. All kind of transports may run into each other, resulting in much damages and lots of injuries.

As far as I am concerned, it is high time that we did something. As individuals, we should ride the underground or buses instead of cars to reduce carbon dioxide. As government, more measures should be taken by carrying out the related law on pollution.

In summary, we re all looking forward to breathe fresher air and live a happier life. Everyone should be a part of this job.

Thank you for your listening.

【翻译】

女士们和先生们，

我很荣幸能有机会在这里做演讲，和大家谈谈这给我们健康和生活带来不好影响的灰霾天气。我们呼吸这被污染过的空气，让我们遭受肺、肝疾病。另外，由于这天气，航班被迫取消。各种交通工具相撞在一起，造成很大的毁灭和伤害。

我觉得是时候我们该做些什么了。我们应该乘坐地铁或公共汽车而不是汽车来减少二氧化碳。政府应该实施更多针对污染的相关法律的。

总之，我们都盼望着能呼吸到更新鲜的空气，过着更快乐的生活。每个人都应该参与进来。

谢谢大家的聆听。

所有人都喜爱绿色，因为它是生命的象征，它可以给人一种奋发向上的感觉。可是，这种感觉正在离我们而去……

我每每看到或想到那绿色时，心中就会有一种无穷的力量，使我心潮澎湃!绿色是整个大自然中最应人瞩目的颜色。你瞧，它紧紧地拥抱着大自然，无私的释放着自己的能量，潜移默化地装扮着大自然。

江畔的垂柳绿了，倒映在碧绿的江水中，春风吹荡着条条柳丝，翩翩起舞;荷叶像一只绿色的大手，飘在水面上，晶莹的露珠，在宽大的叶面上滚动着;山上的松柏树在春雨的滋润下，变得生机勃勃，伸展着，扩大着……它们都在用自己独特的方式，展示着自己的绿衣!

可是……渐渐的，我们为了一些所谓的个人利益，所谓的生活舒适，把我们唯一的家园——地球践踏，是那些美好的事物、景色一去不回……我们再也看不到成群的蝴蝶、蜜蜂在花丛中飞舞;我们再也看不到粉色的、白色的荷花在荷叶的簇拥呵护下，含羞向我们点头;我们再也看不到花儿们在春风的吹拂下，争艳、盛开了;我们再也看不到……

现在，经过那么多次灾难，我们终于理解了大自然给予我们的警告——不要再伤害大自然，它们会用自己的行动去报复的!

我们开发出了无公害食品，把它称为“绿色食品”，这简简单单的四个字包含着全人类渴望消除污染，建造绿色生活的希望!

我希望全世界的人们都能树立起真正的环保意识，共同携手，打造一个完美的绿色生活，使我们的天更蓝、水更清、草更绿、心更净、山更秀、人更美!

中国新年的日期，在各朝代并不相同。夏朝定在一月初一，商朝定在十二月初一，周朝定在十一月初一，秦朝定在十月初一。到西汉太初元年(公元前104年)，汉武帝接受司马迁等人的建议使用《太初历》，恢复了夏历即农历，以正月为岁首，把二十四节气订入历法。后来历朝历代虽对历法有过修改，但基本上仍然以《太初历》为蓝本，以夏历的孟春正月为岁首，正月初一为元旦、元日，即新年的第一天。

1911年辛亥革命以后，清朝统治被推翻，孙中山在南京建立中华民国政府。各省都督府代表在南京召开会议，讨论历法问题。会上达成了“行夏历，所以顺农时;从西历，所以便统计”的共识，决定使用公历，把公历1月1日定做“新年”，把农历正月初一称做“春节”，但并未正式命名和推广。1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议通过使用“公历纪年法”，将公历1月1日定为“元旦”，把农历正月初一定名为“春节”，并规定春节放假三天，让人们热烈地庆祝农历新年。

在两千多年的历史进程中，我国的新年礼俗经历了萌芽、定型、裂变、转型的发展过程。

Everyone has different hobbies. Hobbies can develop your interest and make

you learn new skills. I have many hobbies, such as playing basketball, playing

football and riding a bike. But my favorite hobby is riding a bike.

I began to ride a bike when I was nine years old. One day, my father bought

a bike and gave me a surprise. I was really happy. When I was free, I always

rode my bike. I went anywhere I wanted. When I was riding fast, I felt very

excited.

人类的存在和发展就是因为有了理想：为了黑暗中发出的光，人类不断去探索，才发现了火，发明了电灯，然后又去研究植物如何发光；为了发现嫦娥奔月的秘密，人们发明了天文望远镜，发明了登月火箭；为了人类生活的丰富多彩，人们从不会说话到学会了说话，从不会写字到学会了写字，将自己成长的足迹记录在白纸上。因此人类追求文明的起源便是理想。

苏联的名作家高尔基说过：“理想，能给天下不幸者以欢乐。”人类之所以可以走出野蛮，走出旷野，走出愚昧，踏进文明，踏进新时代，踏进高科技，是因为人类有伟大的理想。黑人首领马丁·路德·金在《我有一个梦想》中写他要平等，要获取白皮肤人的尊重。正因为这样，马丁·路德·金得到了诺贝尔和平奖。中国共产党的领导者——伟大的毛泽东主席领导中国人民走出黑暗，走出混沌，建立了新中国，也是因为有了理想。我也有个理想，长大后想当个救死扶伤的医生。在医院中穿梭，在药味中行走，每天都会见到死亡，但我不害怕，我要做一个救死扶伤的好医生。

当一名好医生要有十分精明的医术与高尚的职业情操。同时医生也是一个十分危险的职业，疾病接触最多的人就是医生，面对死神最多的人也是医生。但是，想到二十年后，我或许真的穿上了白大褂，成了白衣天使，救助他人。不管病人的病有多严重，我也会尽心尽力的去医治，那么被我救起的生命就会越来越多，在未来的道路上，理想会为我点灯。

当一名好医生更是十分艰难的，目前我们的家乡医疗条件还十分落后。我发誓，如果我当上了医生，一定要将精明的医术带回家乡，一定要彻底改变家乡的医疗条件。现在我唯一能做好的就是读好书，在书中寻找药草，寻找药方，积累知识，积累经验，为做一名合格的医生而奋斗。

在人生的旅程中，没有理想的人就没有灵魂，我相信，在理想的指引下，我会成为一个好医生。

《你一定会听见的》是一篇语言优美的小品文，它里面蕴含着很多美的东西，如“理趣美”、“内容美”及“结构美”等。但是这篇文章最大的特点是以亲切自然流畅有趣的语言向读者展示了我们身边丰富多彩、奇妙无穷的声音。

首先，这篇文章的语言美体现在作者运用了大量的修辞手法。拿拟人来说吧，风儿怎么会梳头呢，蒲公英怎么会有金黄色的头发呢，蚂蚁怎么会小跑步、排列做操呢，还有孤灯怎么会有面颊，而小雪花怎么又会感到满足表现出温柔呢?这就是拟人的好处，把这些动植物甚至没有生命的路灯都人性化、情感化。小朋友们读来更觉趣味顿生。

其次，说道趣味，这也是本文语言美的一大方面即趣味性。在描写动物的声音时，作者这样写道：“当小狗忙着啃骨头，小金鱼用尾巴泼水，金丝雀在窗沿唱歌，两只老猫在墙头吵架，三只芦花鸡在啄米吃，你总听到些什么吧?”这一段写得太妙了，不仅运用了拟人、排比的修辞手法，还准确的用动词“啃”、“泼”等动词刻画出小狗、小金鱼等动物们可爱淘气的情态，而老猫吵架的情景也不禁使人捧腹大笑。

排比句也是一种常见的修辞手法，它的运用在文中多处出现，比如在描写风吹的声音时“当微风吹过柳梢，当清风拂过明月，当狂风扫过巨浪，当台风横越山岭”，这里我们还会发现词语搭配的妙用，“微风”用“吹”，“清风”用“拂”，而“狂风”用“扫”，“台风”则用“横越”，不得……

Im sure you know the song Happy Birthday . You must sing this song to

your family and your friends many times on their birthdays every year. But do

you know who wrote this song? And who was it written for?

More than one hundred years ago, two of archibald Hills aunts, Miss Patty

Hill and Miss Mildred J. Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved

children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. One of them was

the well-known song "Good Morning to You". This song was very popular at that

time among kindergarten children, but many grown-ups didnt know it. A few year

later, little Archibald was born. Miss Patty Hill sang the song "Happy

birthday"to the melody of "Good Morning to You" to her little nephew.

Miss Patty Hill and her sister never thought that song would become so

popular, but it really did.

People all over the world like the song.

White pollution persists

WEVE been hearing and talking about it for a fairly long time： curbing what has become known as “white" pollution. But still we are using the white polystyrene （PS） foam food containers and other disposable plastic products， which largely make up this form of littering.

Miandianwang， a well-known local fast-food chain， is still handing out takeout food in these PS foam containers， even though they should been phased out before December 31， 2000， under a Central Government decree. One of the waiters said in its outlet on Hongli Road on Monday that they are going to switch to environmentally friendly containers “some time in the future".

However， the Miandianwang outlet in Sams Club， which is affiliated with Wal-Mart， is offering take-out food in light brown containers which are biodegradable. Liang， a clerk with Sams Club， told Shenzhen Daily yesterday that the club required the Miandianwang outlet to do so in its contract.

According to Liang， all the departments in the club switched to biodegradable containers during the Spring Festival holiday.

Zhao Hua， with the energy division of the Shenzhen Municipal Economic Development Bureau， one of the five municipal government departments involved in the curbing of white pollution in the city， said on Monday that large companies and retailers like Wal-Mart and Vanguard have responded to the decree by switching to biodegradable containers. But she admitted that is just the tip of the iceberg in the seemingly endless war on white pollution in the city.

Zhaos bureau has met with four other relevant departments on several occasions. What they produced is not a feasible solution but an echo or rewording of the Central Government decree， according to Luo Wei from Shenzhen Municipal Legal Affairs Bureau， who is responsible for reviewing this “echo". The ”echo" has now been passed on to the municipal government which is expected to announce it formally in the near future. But Luo said shes not sure if this rewording can play a significant role in eliminating white pollution in the city. “We dont lack laws， regulations or decrees. The real concern is the effective enforcement of these laws or regulations，" said Luo.

Zhao Hua admitted that cities like Shanghai and other coastal cities which are sensitive about their image as tourist destinations are doing a better job in this regard. “Shanghai is said to have produced a very detailed handbook on how to carry out the curbing work and Hainan has even banned disposable foam slippers in hotels，" Zhao said.

Liu Guanqing， president of Shenzhen Xunbao Investment Development Co Ltd， a local manufacturer of biodegradable food containers was very eager to hear the municipal governments decision on the matter. “Since early this year， Ive seen orders fly in. Ill expand production once the government announces its stance on the issue."
