例文

住在A座的人

黄 健

俗话说:"远亲不如近邻。"但搬进来B座已经三年了,我们家连A座住了什么人都不知道,又哪里能享受到这种比亲戚更温馨的邻里关系呢?

两年以前

刚刚住进这幢高层楼宇,觉得特方便。除了进大厅跟保安打招呼"嗨,我是十六楼的"以外,基本上可以保持沉默,免去对阿婆大婶们的寒暄,直接到家门。

而A座留给我们的概念,是一扇永不开启的绿色铝合金防盗门。不仅防盗,也防止了我们想同A座搞点邻里关系的外交行为。

一年以前

住得久了,保安同志自然记得我们,这就连进大厅的报到也省了,有时就用眼色传递。乘电梯时,如果你是个乐观的人,便说:"不错,每天都与不认识的人在一起,蛮有新鲜感的。"但若你是悲观主义者,就会埋怨:"都是些陌生的面孔,哪有回到家的感觉?"偶尔与一两个好不容易攀谈上了,也是蜻蜓点水,也许下次见到面的机会只有万分之一吧。

那扇绿门始终没开过,只是每晚浴室都有灯光透过来,向我们表明A座人的存在。

有一天清晨,打开铁门,哗啦啦雪花般飘下了--大堆修理单、按摩单、快餐单。我赶紧把它们拾起,扔进垃圾桶,连同一大清早的好心情也扔掉了。这种情形后来几天连续不断。终于一气之下,全将它们塞进A座的门隙里,让别人也尝尝这种折磨。谁料到下午回家,打开铁门,才明白什么叫"以其人之道还治其人之身"了。A座的人,咱们走着瞧。我抱起这堆"不速之客",再次塞进A座的门隙,幸灾乐祸地想像着他回来时愤怒的样子。由此,我们两座就烽烟突起,虽然彼此都不知道对方是谁,仍旧"礼尚往来",或许这是我们沟通的唯一方式。但不管怎样激烈争斗,始终未闻其声,未见其人。

一天以前

现在的我们,进大厅我行我素,连眼角也不顾保安一瞬。而他们也最多坐在桌前象征性地瞄一眼。

半年前,我家收养的黑猫咪跑掉了,A座的人逮住了猫,关到大厅,让保安写了寻猫主启事,使猫咪重投我们的怀抱。向他们当面道谢吧,这可是一睹A座的人"庐山真面目"的好时机,我几次按他的门铃,可是都没有人应声。

重头戏还在昨天回家时,见到一批家具躺在大厅,搬家是这里的家常便饭。与工人们上了同一部电梯,同走出十六楼,拐了同一个弯。啊,他们搬走的竟是A座人的东西!

我们真想送他们一送,但是,这些搬家的人中,哪个是我们要送的A座的近邻人呢?

这就是他,一个将近三年的邻居,神秘地搬来又神秘搬走了;这就是他,既陌生又熟悉,虽然连面也没见过,却又时时感到他的存在。

人海茫茫,搬过家的人也许都会有我们这样的际遇。虽是近邻,却是"鸡犬之声相闻,老死不相往来"。这大概就是住高楼大厦的乐趣吧。

解剖:现代人的邻里关系和过去大不一样了,成年人可能会因此怀念以前的日子。但本文的小作者却以一种健康、明朗、幽默的心态面对一切,看似老死不相往来,实际上有无言的交流,文章感觉很清新。

导语:相信很多人的愿望是世界和平,因为战争带给我们无穷尽的痛苦和损失。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

Our world today is faced with many major threats. The most dangerous threat of all is war. Each war starts for a particular reason, but there are a number of steps countries can take to prevent its outbreak.

On main reason for war is the difference in ideology. In order to control the world, capitalist countries never stop trying to tam over the communist governments. Land ownership is also a reason that countries declare wars on their neighbors. For example, if oil is found on the land in one country, that land may be claimed by another country, for historical reasons, and the latter is likely to declare war in order to recover the land containing oil.

To prevent the mutual slaughter of human beings, countries shouldtry to solve their differences through international organizations such as the United Nations or by other peaceful means. In addition, the world people should never stop condemning those warmongers and send them to their graves if they dare launch new wars.

【参考译文】

当今世界面临许多重大威胁。最危险的威胁是战争。每一场战争的开始都有其特定的原因,但各国可以采取一些措施来防止其爆发。

战争的主要原因是意识形态上的差异。为了控制世界,资本主义国家从未停止过试图遏制共产党政府。土地所有权也是各国向邻国宣战的原因。例如,如果石油在一个国家的土地上发现,那土地可能被另一个国家声称,由于历史的原因,而后者很可能会宣布战争,以恢复含石油的土地。

为了防止人类互相残杀,国家应通过联合国等国际组织或其他和平方式解决分歧。此外,世界人民应该永远谴责那些战争贩子和送他们到他们的坟墓如果他们胆敢发动新的战争。

Many people, especially young college students, like pop songs. They hum small tunes all the way to their schools and seem to be never tired of this. Some of them are even mad about pop songs, rocknroll in particular. They shout and shout until their voices become hoarse.

Others will submerge themselves in the romance of the love songs, with tears streaming down their cheeks. Despite such popularity of the pop songs, however, some people dismiss such kind of songs as crude and worthless. They hold that these songs are easy to sing and they are usually characterized with simple tunes which lack variety and depth. Based upon this, they say that pop songs should not have gained such popularity. Whereas many others stick to pop songs. Their lives seem to ha dull without songs.

In my point of view, pop songs should not be banned. True, their tunes are simple and sometimes repetitious, but this is not to say that they are of no artistic value. Folk songs are also quite simple in tune but no one could dismiss them as trash songs. There is no denying that some pop songs are equally excellent. Why? Because they are widely sung and widely remembered. For example, "Yesterday" is of high artistic value. No one can deny its beautifulness in tune. Of com-se, there are bad songs that will not last long, but pop song fans will give these songs their due by choosing to sing them or not.

othing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

“Where there is a will, there is way” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it so well. Actually, it means that if you are really resolved to do something, no matter how difficult it might be, never give up.

In fact, strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people should own. A great man is always one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit. One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory. As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will. For example, Dr. Sun Yatsen, the founder of the Republic of China, set the Chinese people free from the Manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle. Many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause. Finally, he made the revolution of 1911 a success. The same is true of men in all walks of life.

It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world, if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason. So as for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure. Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up and never give up. Besides, we should make full preparation, though strong will help us overcome the difficulties, it is not for person who has no preparation.

Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?

At present, Internet Slang, such as “GG, MM, Xia Mi”, has become popular among the teenagers.

There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.( 万业宝 www.wAnyEbao.CoM )

However, some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Also, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.

Every coin has two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we don’t know the Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind the times. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.

篇13:以万圣节为话题英语作文

全文共 3131 字

halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. it began as a celtic end-of-summer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. for these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back to the spirit world.

todays halloween ghosts are often depicted as more fearsome and malevolent, and our customs and superstitions are scarier too. we avoid crossing paths with black cats, afraid that they might bring us bad luck. this idea has its roots in the middle ages, when many people believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into cats. we try not to walk under ladders for the same reason. this superstition may have come from the ancient egyptians, who believed that triangles were sacred; it also may have something to do with the fact that walking under a leaning ladder tends to be fairly unsafe. and around halloween, especially, we try to avoid breaking mirrors, stepping on cracks in the road or spilling salt.

but what about the halloween traditions and beliefs that todays trick-or-treaters have forgotten all about? many of these obsolete rituals focused on the future instead of the past and the living instead of the dead. in particular, many had to do with helping young women identify their future husbands and reassuring them that they would someday--with luck, by next halloween!--be married.

in 18th-century ireland, a matchmaking cook might bury a ring in her mashed potatoes on halloween night, hoping to bring true love to the diner who found it. in scotland, fortune-tellers recommended that an eligible young woman name a hazelnut for each of her suitors and then toss the nuts into the fireplace. the nut that burned to ashes rather than popping or exploding, the story went, represented the girls future husband. (in some versions of this legend, confusingly, the opposite was true: the nut that burned away symbolized a love that would not last.) another tale had it that if a young woman ate a sugary concoction made out of walnuts, hazelnuts and nutmeg before bed on halloween night, she would dream about her future husband. young women tossed apple-peels over their shoulders, hoping that the peels would fall on the floor in the shape of their future husbands initials; tried to learn about their futures by peering at egg yolks floating in a bowl of water; and stood in front of mirrors in darkened rooms, holding candles and looking over their shoulders for their husbands faces.

other rituals were more competitive. at some halloween parties, the first guest to find a burr on a chestnut-hunt would be the first to marry; at others, the first successful apple-bobber would be the first down the aisle.

of course, whether were asking for romantic advice or trying to avoid seven years of bad luck, each one of these halloween superstitions relies on the good will of the very same "spirits" whose presence the early celts felt so keenly. ours is not such a different holiday after all!

英语环保作文预测

最近,你是吴明,和笔友李华都很关注“可持续发展”的话题。现在你写一封信给他,谈谈江苏的省情,介绍耕地的使用及保护的情况。

词数:150左右。信的开头号和结尾已经给出。必须包含以下要点:

1、江苏是我国经济发达的省份之一,位于我国的东部,人口多,占地少。

人口:7000多万;土地面积:10多万平方公里。自然资源贫乏。

2、随着经济的发展和人口的增长,越来越多的良田被征用来建造住房和工厂。耕地面积逐年减少。

3、人们正认识到保护耕地的重要性,政府积极采取措施禁止非法用地。

4、保护土地资源,是每个公民应尽义务,也是造福子孙后代的需要。

Dear Li Hua,

How are you? With this letter I’d like to introduce my hometown—Jiangsu Province to you .Situated in the east of China, Jiangsu is one of the most developed provinces of our country. It is a province with a large population of 70,000,000 but not much farmland for people to live on, and it lacks natural resources with an area of more than 100,000 km2 .

With the development of economy and growth of its population, more and more good farmland has been used to build houses and factories. As a result, farmland is decreasing year by year.

Fortunately people are realizing the importance of protecting farmland and the government has taken measures to stop the illegal use of farmland.

In my opinion, it’s our duty to protect our farmland as well as our obligation to benefit the younger generations.

Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes.

Yours

{C}niors, even found it difficult to breathe. As a result, local hospitals were crowded with people who had problems with their noses and lungs. Part of the cause was the dry weather, but the severely damaged environment contributed a lot to this nightmare. Personally I didn’t get any health problems in the haze because I stayed mostly indoors. But to make a significant change we really have to do more to protect our environment. To live a better life.

Our life have to push on with the economy, but it wound be meaningless if we have to achieve it at the cost of our breathing air.

Regards!

Yours,

Li Hua

Recently,there has been an activity of “doing your bit for an energy-saving society” in our school. Our schoolmates are highly concerned about the increasing lack of energy and provide their own suggestions.

Some students suggest that we shouldn’t waste any food or paper, though they appear very easy to get. Meanwhile, some other students think it advisable to refuse to use disposable chopsticks and plastic bags. Besides, it is also strongly recommended that those used textbooks as well as reference books of graduates, which are still in good condition, not be thrown but recycled.

Actually, there are still quite a lot that we can easily do: say, try to take buses or ride bicycles instead of driving cars, etc. All of these will definitely help to build an energy-saving society.

篇15:关于学会生存话题

全文共 1013 字

在生活中,人就犹如茫茫大海中夕阳下的一帆小船。他会被波涛所浸湿;会被海水的冰凉所感染;他前进的动力、希望会被狂风暴雨所灭。但不要忘了,他仍漂泊在离太阳最近的地方。

生存”这个词,就好比你走在充满荆棘的道路上,你想办法去保护好自己和需要自己去保护的人,不让自己和别人受到伤害。还记得汶川大地震吗?从新闻中我们可以想象这样一个画面:原本是一片祥和,充满着欢声笑语的地方。突然间,山崩地裂,泥石流夹杂着岩石的滚落下来;原本满是笑语的声音变成了惊恐的呼喊;原本漂亮的房子霎时间倒塌;有些父母挣扎着把自己的孩子送出去,却想不到孩子已经死亡;有的孩子免于一死,却只能在坍塌的大街上茫然的看着这个世界发呆;有的已经是一家人倒在一起

这就是生存的抉择。但是,如果有所谓:“生存的能力”,那这样的情况会不会微微的减少一丁点?

地震时,理应选择“丁”型的墙角,在重合处抱头蹲下。房顶落下时,就会形成一个救命的三角区。很多人都知道这个常识,但在危险来临时,很少人会去思考,以一种镇定的心态去面对。当然,人不逃就会死,谁都不会傻到不去想办法逃亡。

学会生存”,不仅指发生危险时的生存技能,它还存在于日常生活中。成年,总是会到“社会”上去的,从一个无知的在校学生到一个整天加班加点为生存忙于奔波的工作人。无疑,这个转变是巨大的,甚至无法承受。但是没办法,生活再糟再惨,你也得继续下去,你还有家人,你还有自己的事业要去完成。

当你变成一个人时,你要去主动承担原来不是你该做的事情,去计划所有的事情。就如同一只蚂蚁推着一块巨大在山坡上滚,这很累,但必须由他自己承担。别的蚂蚁也许会问他:“你干嘛不放下来?”但也只能回答:“我不能放。”是的,从开始,他只有两个结局,要么活着推上去,要么死着滚下来。不管他是自愿的还是玩玩的,他也只有两个结局,要么生要么死。有时,这只蚂蚁就是我们。

生存的原则就是坚持,还有在此过程中磨练出的心。终归会有一天,我们会驾驶着自己的小船,在大海中独自漂泊。自己去体会月亮的孤独、宁静;太阳的爆躁、温暖;海水的透亮、酸涩。以及身在大海的无助。

这叫什么?这叫生存。你有选择。你可以在海前退缩,你可以在地震前退缩,你可以在恶势力前退缩。说一句老掉牙的话。你能退一辈子吗!你不能。迟早有一天,生活会逼你学会你不曾见识过的生存。你会从中体会到酸甜苦辣涩。你会懂得:放下就不会去活着。生存的原则是什么?是你不得不去做,而且要做得好,因为你要为了自己。

导语:做一个诚实可靠的人会让别人相信你,这会给你带来很多好处,给你机会,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关优秀英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

Almost all of us heard the story "Here Comes the Wolf" when we were little kids. What we can learn from the story is that we must be honest. However, therere lots of phenomena of dishonesty nowadays.

Being dishonest does great harm not only to other people but also to yourself. Take the case of fake milk powder for example. After drinking this kind of milk, the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still thin, which badly affected their health. To our great relief, the producers got accused and punished for all the serious consequences in the end.

Having the reputation of being honest and reliable will make other people trust you, which will provide you many benefits and give you opportunities that others may not get. Being honest, you will find it easier to cooperate with others and people will be friendly to you and support you. In a sense, if life is a longjourney, honesty will be the backpack that should be taken along all the way.

Lets pick up our "backpack" -- honesty, and start the wonderful journey!

【参考翻译】

几乎所有的人都听过这个故事:“狼来了”,当我们小的时候。我们可以从这个故事中得到的东西是我们必须诚实。然而,现在有很多不诚实的现象。

不诚实不仅对别人有害,而且对你自己也有很大的危害。以假奶粉为例。喝了这种牛奶后,婴儿的腿和胳膊仍然很瘦,他们的健康状况很差,他们的健康状况很严重。我们的杰出的救济,生产者有指责和受到惩罚的结束所有的严重后果。

做一个诚实可靠的人会让别人相信你,这会给你带来很多好处,给你机会。诚实,你会发现很容易与他人合作,人们会对你友好和支持你。从某种意义上说,如果人生是长途旅行,诚实将要采取的路上背包。

让我们拿起我们的“背包”-诚实,并开始精彩旅程!

篇17:以社交网络对我们的影响为话题的英语作文

全文共 1635 字

As been popular in young peoples daily life, the social network service have influenced not only the ways we are socializing but also the culture and the tradition of the country.

Take the spring festival as an example, traditionally, in the evening of the Chinese New Year eve, the whole family usually would have a reunion meal. Many of the family members are not really be at home quite often spending time with others especially with their old parents, so this reunion meal is very important for every family to have a chance to talk, enjoy the together time. But today all has changed. The most common look of the reunion meal now is that all young people eat quietly meanwhile the eyes are staring at their cell phone, checking out their “Friend Circle” to see if anyone update the status. They only make sounds when someone grab a red envelop with very lousy money in it. The old parents feel awkward when facing this weird situation, no one would even like to talk to them, the reunion meal turns out that there is just a bunch of strange people eating at the same table.

And the TV shows are pushing this more far ahead. They will set some interactive sessions to encourage people use the social network service on their cell phone to get some bonus. So even TV time people still stick to their cell phone and have no word for others sitting around. Seems like the social network service is completely replace the normal communication offline. That will obviously ruin the relationship with family.

I wouldnt say the social network service is all bad, but somehow, I prefer to communicate face to face with someone I really care.

篇19:英语满分作文幸福话题带翻译

全文共 1692 字

幸福是否可以用金钱购买?不可能!但是不是钱多一点我们就会更开心一点呢?对此,大多数人一定微笑赞同。我们相信,收入的富足与舒适的生活感受之间有着某种联系。几乎所有人都会说,是的,我希望变得富有。而目前有四分之三的美国大学生都认为,过上“十分富裕”的生活是“非常重要”和“必不可少”的。钱的作用的确不小。

Does money buy happiness? No! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between fiscal fitness and feeling fantastic. Most of us would say that, yes, we would like to be rich. Three in four American collegians now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters.

但是,富人就一定更快乐吗?研究人员发现,在一些贫穷的国家,相对而言比较富裕确实会使人过得更幸福一些。我们需要食物、住所、休息和社会关系。然而,人们惊讶地发现,在那些几乎所有人都衣食无忧的国家里,财富的增加所产生的效果微乎其微。收入与幸福之间的关联“惊人得微弱”。一旦生活舒适,钱所带来的收益便呈现递减趋势。得到的第二笔十万美元就像吃到的第二只派,尝起来永远都不如第一只那么美味。即使那些彩票得主和福布斯排名前一百的富人们也并没有比一般的美国人更开心多少。飞黄腾达只能带来暂时的喜悦。从长远来说,财富就像健康一样,失去它的人定会感到不幸,而拥有它的人却未必一定幸福。

Well, are rich people happier? Researchers have found that in poor countries, being relatively well off does make for greater well-being. We need food, rest, shelter and social contact. But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing affluence matters surprisingly little. The correlation between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak”. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns. The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthiest Americans have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run, wealth is like health: its utter absence can breed misery, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness.
