+ 加入清单哲学家苏格拉底曾说:“世界上最快乐的事,莫过于为理想而奋斗”。每个人都有自己的理想,并一直朝着这个目标奋斗着,这的确是一件快乐的事。我也有我自己的理想--做一名英语翻译家。
你们一定想知道我为什么要做英语翻译家?因为我从小就喜欢英语。在我上幼儿园,第一次接触英语的时候,老师教我们读“apple苹果”,“banana香蕉”,老师怕我们不懂,还特意拿来香蕉,指着香蕉对我们说:“这是不是很像‘b’呢?上面瘦瘦的,下面胖胖的。一个个香蕉就成了banana,这样,香蕉的英语是不是很容易拼出来。”老师还教我们学了很多英语单词。从那以后,我就喜欢上了英语。
虽然这个理想对我来说是一件非常遥远的事情,但我愿意为这个理想而努力拼搏。每当我听到别人那一口流利的英语,我都非常羡慕,同时我的心灵也一样受到了鼓舞。我相信只要努力就一定可以做到。现在我会从身边的每一步开始做起,努力学好英语。我希望通过我的努力,可以实现我的梦想。
通向理想的道路是遥远的,艰辛的,但我坚信自己只要为理想奋斗,为理想拼搏,就一定能实现理想。

+ 加入清单Can Money Buy Happiness?
Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions. Some
think yes, while others hold the opposite.
It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and
live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that lack of
money causes great distress. It is a common view that "money is the root of all
evil." The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some
places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt
societies where everybody is miserable.
So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is
used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to
happiness l Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible
if it is employed sensibly.
金钱能买来幸福吗?
金钱能买来幸福吗?不同的人有不同的回答。有的人认为能,有的人则持相反的意见。
诚然一个人如果有足够的钱可以买到他想要的所有物品,过上舒适稳定的生活。然而,同样缺钱往往引起巨大的忧伤。人们常常认为“金钱是万恶之源”,对金钱的追求驱使许多人去骗去偷。在某些地方,没有钱买不到的东西,导致社会的腐化堕落。
所以,金钱并不一定就意味着幸福。这取决于怎样使用金钱,如果我们诚信明智地使用金钱,它将是幸福的基石。尽管金钱买不到幸福,但它可以使幸福成为可能。

One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?

篇20:圣诞节英语作文及翻译
全文共 1882 字
+ 加入清单Christmas, annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ。 Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25, and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well。 Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6, when they celebrate Epiphany, a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus。 Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem (near Jerusalem, Israel), where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh。 The official Christmas season, popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas, extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6。 Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew (see Matthew 1:18—2:12) and the Gospel according to Luke (see Luke 1:26—56)。 Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas, then known as the Feast of the Nativity, as early as 336 ad。 The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse, meaning festival of Christ。 Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century。 The X stands for the Greek letter chi, an abbreviation of Khristos (Christ), and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified。
12月25日,是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子,称为圣诞节。从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间,各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日,由于人们格外重视,它便成为一个全民性的节日,是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日,可以和新年相提并论,类似我国过春节。西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色,圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品,用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花,还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人,他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前,要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子,等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。在西方,扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。
