快乐的定义英语作文(实用20篇)

感情似水，似酒，似糖又似醋，品下去，五味杂陈，回味悠长，我想快乐就似这糖，品下去，是在嘴角溢开地甜，是在心底抹不去的蜜，而这快乐，是否有定义呢，我想是没有的，工人的快乐是回家之后的热水澡，洗去一天的疲劳，母亲的快乐是看孩子的成长，而我心中所定义的快乐，是关于爱，关于你……

初见你时，你仅仅是一只38天大的小奶狗，通体雪白，忽闪而透彻的大眼睛映出我的脸庞，是那样的纯粹而干净。可惜的是唯一美中不足的就是那眼睛下面的两绺黄毛，听母亲说因为你眼睛不好，经常流泪而留下的泪痕。这就是对你的第一感觉。你的出现如三月春风，拂过我心间，漾起一层涟漪。你有了属于自己的名字——果冻，因为我喜欢吃果冻，而你又像果冻般晶莹剔透，这名字倒也适得其所。

所有的东西都需要有一个适应的过程，你更是不例外，你是父亲在外地出差时买回来的，父亲一开始逗你都是“嘬嘬”两声，所以在叫你名字的时候你永远不在状态，为了训练你，我绞尽脑汁，最终发现原来拿着吃的喊你名字，你会飞奔而来，无论在哪，都屡试不爽。你也知道了自己的名字。

渐渐地，你开始变得调皮了，我放在书桌下面的草稿本被你一本又一本地拖出来撕扯着，有时候咬生气了还闷吼两声，我生气的同时心疼着那些本子，举起手却又无奈地放下了，下不去手去打你。你总是有办法让为化悲伤为开心。

那天下午，我坐在沙发上看电视，睡完午觉的你“嗖嗖”两下跑到我身旁，跳着要我将你抱入怀中，我抱起你放在腿上，你陪我看着电视，突然你跳下沙发，冲到厨房，我也没管你，继续沉迷于电视，突然只听见“咚”，随后又传来一声“嗷”，我惊慌失措地跑到厨房，只见你倒扣在了垃圾桶里，我笑着将你拉了出来，你委屈巴巴地绕着我转，想要吃东西，我从冰箱里拿出火腿肠喂你吃了下去，然后，你就又回笼子里继续睡觉了，我总在怀疑你到底是不是狗，怎么会这么能睡的。

是你，让我明白了与动物相处的快乐，遇见你，是我的快乐。

这世间，许多东西都被局限在世俗的条条框框下，许多时候，不明白什么是真正的快乐，迷失了初心，最后，失去自我。愿世间所有人可以真的快乐，不要定义快乐！

My christmas holiday Christmas Day,the 25th of December,is the biggest festival celebrated in the Christian countries of the world.Although everyone enjoys Christmas Day,it is particularly enjoyed by children,who get very excited because of the presents they know they are going to receive.Small children believe that their presents are brought by Santa Claus. Santa Claus (also called" Father Christmas)is a kind of old man  ho,the children are told,lives at the North Pole.He travels through the sky on a sleigh which is pulled by reindeers and loaded with presents.Stopping on the roof of houses,he enters by climbing the chimney.When small children go to bed on Christmas Eve,they hang a stocking at the end of their beds.Their parents warn them not to try to look at Father Christmas,or he will not leave them anything.When they wake,they find their stockings filled with presents.

Children are very excited on Christmas morning and always wake up early. Christmas is also a family celebration.As any members of the family as possible gather to eat,play party games and watch the special Christmas programmes on TV.

Many unforgettable memories come to my mind when I read the topic, and I remember many people who are far away from me now. The moment I remind them, I become excited and sweet, as most of them have left me a beautiful and romantic memory, among which, I cherish one unforgettable thing most. I learn a lot from it.

It happened in early summer when I was in middle school between my best friend Lily and me. We attended a hiking activity held by school. We were all tired after getting to the destination, so we had a good rest and enjoyed the beautiful scene there. However, as the group didn’t inform us to leave together, we were left behind. We looked for our way back together, but we were lost in the great mountain with the cold lake under the mountain. I was very scared, but Lily said to me firmly, “Jane, we are always together no matter what difficulties we met! So don’t be afraid!” she held me so tightly that I had more courage. Finally, the rescuers found us. We never forget it!

As the old saying goes, a friend indeed is a friend in need. I know that a true friendship is so beautiful and priceless that is worth me to cherish for the whole life.

If winter comes, the leaves on the trees drop light, the north wind whistling, The earth a depression spectacle. The river caked with thick ice. People around scarf wearing gloves, wearing sections of the cotton-padded jacket, but still difficult to resist invasion of cold cold red face.

元旦是中国一个重要的日子，因为元旦到来意味着新的开始。

当第一缕阳光穿过树梢，我睁开朦胧的睡眼，准备迎接新一年的第一天。

A happy Day

It was sunny and very hot today. I got up early and helped my parents cook breakfast. Then I washed the dishes and cleaned the room. After a short rest I did my homework in the morning. In the afternoon I went swimming in the nearest swimming pool with my friends. It was really cool to swim in such a hot day. I surfed the internet and read a storybook in the evening. I really had a busy and happy day.

[小学生英语日记-快乐的一天

我们学校的“大嘴巴英语节”到了，这一天，我们班的同学有的带玩具，有的带水果，还有的带图书…真是丰富多彩啊！

下午一到，我们便秩序井然地排好了队，带好了物品，下楼到了大操场。那儿已经有很多班级准备好了。我们坐在了塑料袋和书本上，将物品依次取出，排成一长排，一切准备好后，第一场拍卖会便开始了，我们当商人，让其它同学来买。当我转身看后面时，发现后面的人就像蚂蚁一样，黑鸦鸦的一片直奔而来！等了半天，没一个来买我的玩具，吴雨婕等不及了，大声吆喝，突然有一个小朋友走过我们面前，嘴里还说：“太幼稚了！”又过了一会儿，有几位小朋友睁着大大的眼睛，仔细地找着他们想要的东西，这时，吴雨婕向一位男同学叫道：“走过不要路过，千万不要错过！”男同学一惊，啪唧一下倒在了地上，笑得前仰后合，嘴中含含糊糊说：“我从来没见过这样的高人！”说完就走进了杂乱的人群中。

第二场拍卖会是我们当买东西的人，我们一听到这人消息，立刻将杂物乱扔进了布袋里，准备去“购物”。购物会开始了，我和我的朋友一起手挽着手走进了人海中，走了一圈，我还没找到自己想要的东西，于是，第二次，我又走了一圈，终于找到了一个蓝色的，上面画有一只大白熊的“修正带”首先，我对那个男孩说：“Howmuchisit？”那个小男孩抬起头，从头到脚打量了我一番，拿起修正带，沉思片刻说道：“It’ssixyuan。”我想也不想，就把钱包打开，说道：“Ok。Hereyouare。”他一声不响地从衣袋里摸出一张皱巴巴的“买”卡，我又随即拿出了“卖”卡，后来再想，这笔交易太不合算了，我应该和他说能不能五元或四元才对，可是，已经迟了，那个小男孩走了，因为拍卖会结束了。

拍卖会结束后，老师带着满面笑容的同学们回到了教室。

啊，“大嘴巴英语节”真快乐！

快乐是什么?

莎士比亚说：“我认为世上再也没有比怀念好友更愉快的事情了。”那么在他看来，友谊是像阳光一样美好的东西，令人愉快。友谊便是他的快乐，这友谊使快乐倍增，使痛苦减半。

苏格拉底说：“世界上最愉快的事情，就是为理想而奋斗。”苏格拉底的整个生命就是为理想为真理而奋斗。在他为了真理英勇服毒自尽的一刻，我想，他的内心也应该是快乐着的。

热爱生活吧，朋友!生活是多么宽广，生活是多么芬芳;看，凡是有生活的地方，就有快乐和宝藏。因为，生活就是快乐。

每个人的快乐都是不一样的。成天吃不饱、穿不暖的人的快乐是衣食无忧。独来独往的人的快乐是能有一个了解自己的知心朋友。饱受战乱之苦的人民的快乐是人们团结一心、充满和平。我敢说，一万个人有一万种不同的快乐。

快乐无处不在，想要快乐也很简单，只要你用心寻找，快乐就在你我的身边!在小时候，我是一个贪玩的小孩，而且根本不懂得认真学习将来报效祖国，认为“玩”就是一生中最最快乐的事。渐渐地，我长大了，爸爸给我买了白话版的四大名著，刚买来时，我囫囵吞枣，走马观花浏了一遍，总是想千方设百计抓紧时间玩。但是，偶然一次睡觉前，我忽然翻到《三国演义》之“三英战吕布”和“诸葛亮火烧新野”时，我顿时茅塞大开，被刘备、关羽、张飞肝胆相照、同心协力战胜刚愎自用的吕布的大无畏精神所陶醉，被神机妙算、富有智慧的诸葛亮以少胜多战胜曹军所吸引……从此，我爱上了看书，特别爱看世界名著和经典故事，每天都会挤出半个小时认真阅读课外书籍。每当我征服一章或一本的内容时我就会感到非常的快乐。

朋友们，一次运动，一次阅读和一次上网都是快乐的事，其实，快乐无处不在，快乐就在你我的身边!

Today is the fathers day,I want to buy a gift for my dad .

今天是父亲节，我想为爸爸买个礼物。

I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Fathers Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, and selected and read again, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.

今天我在商场的时候, 我读了好长时间的有关“父亲节”的贺卡。那些卡片上面的文字很特别，也或多或少地表达出了我对您的感受。我挑选读过一次后，又挑选读了一遍，但那并不是一张贺卡所能表达出我想对您说的话的。

Youll soon be 42 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Fathers Days together. I havent always been with you on Fathers Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays. It wasnt because I didnt want to be with you. Ive always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.

爸爸，很快您就要42岁了，您和我也将度过这第55个“父亲节”。“父亲节”的那天，我总是不能和您在一起，连您过生日的时候我也是这样，但这并不是因为我不想陪在您身边。其实，在我心里，我总是和您在一起。不过，有的时候，生活也会有差错。

Happy Fathers Day,my dear dad.

每个人都有一个家庭。我也有一个家庭。我叫它“快乐家庭”，因为家里的每一个人都快乐。

请来见见我的家人吧!我的妈妈很善良，我爱她，她也爱我。我的妈妈很漂亮，她喜欢漂亮的衣服，我叫她“时髦妈妈”。我的爸爸是一个老板，他很高很瘦。他的头很小，我就给他一个绰号叫“小头爸爸”。我胖胖的，很可爱。我有一个大头，我给自己的绰号是“大头女儿”。我学习很努力。我是好学生。

我们每天都很快乐。

You’ll soon be 84 years old,Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with you. I’ve always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.

今天我在商场的时候, 我读了好长时间的有关“父亲节”的贺卡。那些卡片上面的文字很特别，也或多或少地表达出了我对您的感受。我挑选读过一次后，又挑选读了一遍，但那并不是一张贺卡所能表达出我想对您说的话的。爸爸，很快您就要84岁了，您和我也将度过这第55个“父亲节”。“父亲节”的那天，我总是不能和您在一起，连您过生日的时候我也是这样，但这并不是因为我不想陪在您身边。其实，在我心里，我总是和您在一起。不过，有的时候，生活也会有差错。

You know, Dad, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized by it. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other, father and daughter split apart by age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing, curfews, music, and boys.

The Father-Daughter Duel of ’54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the ‘54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who escorted me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a snotty 16 year old. You were so decent about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.Our relationship improved immensely when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we begin making babies right and left. We didn’t have a television set, you know, and we had to entertain ourselves somehow. I didn’t know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didn’t have to wait long to find out. Those babies adored you then just as they adore you now. When I see you with all your grandchildren, I know you’ve given them the finest gift a grandparent can give. You’ve given them yourself.

爸爸，您也知道，我们父女俩曾有一段时间因为代沟不在一起过，比如年龄、个人阅历、观点、发型、化妆、服装、音乐、作息时间以及男朋友，因为

这些，我们的观点也非常对立。您站在“大分离”的一端，我站在“大分离”的另一端。

那时，您教我学开那部道奇旧车，可我却不管您喜欢不喜欢执意要开雪拂兰’54那辆车。当时，我们父女俩关于雪拂兰汽车的争执也调到了最高挡。可那天晚上，您却报警说雪拂兰车被盗。之后，一个警官把我护送到家，可他太年轻了，根本不明白我们父女俩之间的政治斗争，可他也不小了，对一个16岁的流鼻涕的小孩却没有太多的耐心。爸爸，您倒对这件事处理得很体面，而我想那可能是我一生中最糟糕的一个夜晚吧。

在我嫁了一个您喜欢的女婿后，我们俩之间的关系才缓和了好多。后来，我们为了好好地生个孩子，就离开了，我们之间的那些事情也就结束了。这事您也知道，我们没有电视机看，我们就只好自娱自乐了。我不知道我还能对作为外公外婆的您和妈妈抱什么期望，但是，不要等到很久我就会找到答案。过去那些孩子热爱您，现在他们还像以前那样热爱您。当我看见您和您的外孙在一起的时候，我知道您都已经给了他们最好的礼物，您把心都掏给他们了。Somewhere along the line, the generation gap evaporated. Age separates us now and little else. We agree on most everything,

perhaps because we’ve learned there isn’t much worth disagreeing about. However, I would like to mention that fly fishing isn’t all you’ve cracked it up to be, Dad. You can say what you want about wrist action and stance and blah, blah, blah...

I’ve been happily drifting for a lot of years, Dad, and I didn’t see you getting older.

I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. Numbers never seemed important. But the oddest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn’t immediately occur to me

that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day. Or maybe I saw my own.

就是这样，您我之间的代沟慢慢消失了。现在年龄和其它一些问题的差异把您和我分开，可我们在很多事情的上的看法都是一样的，这可能是因为我们明白了没有那么多的事情值得我们争辩吧。然而，我想提示一下的是，爸爸，飞蝇钓鱼是您最喜欢的一种钓法，您可以说些您想做的手腕动作，站姿和一些没有用的话什么的。

爸爸，虽然我已经漂泊很多年了，但是我很快乐。然而，我却发现您没有变老，还是那么年轻。

随着年龄的增长，我认和我之间的关系慢慢地融洽了好多，就像是一瓶好酒，越陈越香。家人看起来好像没有一点意义似的，但是，上周发生了一件最奇怪的事情，我站在停车标志旁，看见您开着车要拐弯。可是我并没有立刻反映到那是爸爸您。因为那个人开着车，又在那部大车的车轮后面，就显得他岁数很大，身体也很虚弱的样子。可我却感到不知道从哪里飞来的一记耳光似的重重地打在我的脸上，也许，那是我第一次“看见”您的年龄，也许，只有我自己看见罢了。

Fifty years ago this spring we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa.

I didn’t know then that I would remember that day for the rest of my life. This week, we’ll plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don’t understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is. And the funny thing about it is, well, I don’t know quite how to tell you this, Dad...I don’t even like kohlrabi...but I like planting it with you.I guess what I’m trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a Father on Father’s Day is about more than a Dad who brings home a paycheck, shares a dinner table, and attends school functions, graduations, and weddings. It isn’t even so much about kohlrabi, ’54 Chevrolets, and fly-fishing. It’s more about unconditionally loving children who are snotty and stubborn, who know everything and won’t listen to anyone. It’s about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and

giving and taking. It’s about loving someone more than words can say，and it’s wishing that it never had to end.

I love you, Dad.

五十年前的一个春天，我们在依阿华州查理斯市的一个花园一起栽下苤蓝菜。

当时我也不知道我以后会怀念那一天。这一周，我们还要在一起栽苤蓝菜，这是第二次。也许，这是最后一次，可我并不希望那样。我不明白为什么我和您一起栽苤蓝菜我会感到很有意义，可事实上就有意义。而且，关于这个，有个有意思的事情，可我不知道该怎么和您说这事，爸爸?? 我不喜欢苤蓝菜??但是，我却喜欢和您一起栽苤蓝菜。

爸爸，我想我想要说的话是每个作儿女的今天想和他们爸爸要说的话。过“父亲节”，给父亲这么一个大的荣誉，决不是因为爸爸给家里挣多少钱，和家人一起共进晚餐，参加学校活动，参加毕业典礼和婚礼的原因，也不止是一起栽苤蓝菜，开雪拂兰’54车和飞蝇钓鱼的事，也不止是您毫无理由地爱那些流鼻涕又很淘气，而且什么都懂，就是不听话的小孩。这就是尊重对方，分享

快乐，认同和忍受他人，给予和接受吧，您对别人的爱也是不能用言语来表达的，希望这些永不终止。
