Protecting the Environment

In the last several decades, our earth has been extremely polluted, such as air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and so on. In recent years, the extreme weather becomes more and more frequent. Winter gets colder and summer becomes hotter and it rains more frequently. All of these warn us that protecting the environment is a serious and emergent event. As our general people, we should build proper lifestyle. We should pay attention to water and light saving. When we go out, we should firstly choose the public transportation. The most important is that we must realize that we can do a lot of things to protect our environment. Its our duty to make our home better. Let’s change from ourselves.

[初中英语作文及翻译：保护环境

随着科技的高速发展，人类对资源的需求越来越多，致使南极北极冰雪融化的速度加快、海平面日渐上升、南极出现臭氧空洞、北京的沙尘暴、雾霾天气不断增加、日本大地震后造成的核泄漏污染……

当我们在享受美好生活的同时，是否想到保护环境的重要性呢?

那么，请同学们关注一下我们的校园，看!操场上、校门口、楼梯过道上漫天飞舞的纸屑、食品袋、饮料瓶;瞧，雪白的墙壁上那些张牙舞爪的涂鸦……这些都是和我们校园文明不和谐的一幕啊!

同学们，如果我们大家都行动起来，争当环保的主人翁，不乱扔纸屑、果皮，不乱涂乱画，随手捡起地上的纸屑垃圾，爱护环境，把我们的校园装扮的漂漂亮亮。当我们在绿树成荫的校园小道上漫步时，一定会感到心旷神怡;当我们在窗明几净的教室里读书时，一定会全神贯注;当我们在整洁优雅的环境中学习时，一定会心情舒畅。

优美的环境，让我们懂得珍惜，学会爱护;优美的环境，让我们知书达理，更加文明;优美的环境，让我们学会谦让，学会做人;优美的环境，让我们道德高尚，使我们的学习更加进步!

The other day the TV reported that a retired school math teacher, Beth Smith, has been volunteering for the past 20 years at a United Nation’s refugee camp in Thailand, helping kids who cannot afford to go to school learn math and English. I was deeply touched when watching the story, especially when the reporter asked Beth why she would spent all her time in a third world country volunteering, she replied, “By helping these kids, I feel I’m doing good for the society, therefore I feel happy.” Her answer made me think about the virtue of helping others, and I realize that she is a true hero in my heart.

在这一个小学阶段最后的寒假里，除了出门旅行之外，我几乎是整日泡在书的海洋里畅游。虽然如此，但我依然觉得非常充实且有意义。

寒假里，我看了各种各样的书籍。从童话到科普图书，从小说到名著------。其中带给我最深印象的是介绍作者童年时代生活的《童年》、讲述一位美国黑人奴隶在惨无人道的奴隶制的压迫下艰难地生活最终死去的故事的《汤姆叔叔的小屋》、有借助老人与鲨鱼英勇搏斗来教育我们做任何事不能软弱的《老人与海》等等，回回精彩溢呈，章章扣人心弦，让人爱不释手，受益非浅。有它们相伴，当然不会寂寞。

读书读累了，我还会出门游玩。时间不容许我去祖国的名胜古迹游玩，但能够去野外的青山绿水、山涧小道玩玩，让我增长知识，开阔眼界，从整日的看书学习中跳出来，休闲、轻松一下，这不也很有意义吗?

轻松之余，当然不能忘了学习。除了完成老师布置的作业外，我还会写写作文，练练书法，算算奥数，全面锻炼自己的脑力。你可别说做作业是件头疼的事，其实，只要能投入在其中，你会发现——原来完成作业并不麻烦，甚至还有些有趣呢!

这就是我所度过的寒假，一个充实、有趣、具有意义的愉快假期!

我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原，他遭谗言被放逐后，无力拯救危亡的国家，悲愤过度，于是投江自尽，以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体，纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中，用来喂饱水中的动物，有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节，吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。

说到这里，我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子，有小花，小人，小海星，真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角，爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队，好似一条长龙，我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出，家家户户都很重视这个节日，人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。

我和小表叔坐在船的最前面，爸爸妈妈坐在后面。我和小表叔轮着掌握方向盘，爸爸妈妈在后面蹬着划船。我们在水里转来转去，玩的高兴极了。正在高兴时，忽然看见我们的船正直直往正前方的一条手划船上撞去，把划船的叔叔阿姨吓的赶紧转弯，把我们俩笑的肚子疼。妈妈说我没掌握好方向便让小表叔掌握方向，我想抵赖，于是就说：“还没到时间呢!”小表叔好象知道我在骗他，就说：“哥，时间是不是到了。”我爸爸说：“时间到了，浩悦让你小表叔来掌握方向。”我极不情愿的让给了他。也不知道今天是怎么了，总有船和我们相撞，刚才我们撞人家的船，现在又有人家的船来撞我们，我们的船劲大，把它撞的转了个弯，又把我和小表叔乐得哈哈大笑。又有一条汽船朝我们驶过来了，爸爸叫我们赶快转弯，我们立刻就转弯躲了过去。

我们看到岸上有人在跳舞便把船划了过去看，看的正美时，岸上有人说我们的船时间到了，叫我们停船靠岸，我们很快把船划了过去，上了岸便回家了。

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

Remember once, when I take the toy, accidentally bumped my head on the corner of a table, I immediately fainted, has been unconscious. My parents immediately taken to hospital, the doctor was observed to me, put me on the bed, stitches, when I awake, I was lying in bed in the home, even head to indolence, just a bit dizzy, in addition, all safe and sound, as if is a dream, it let me know the doctor is indispensable to the whole world a career, if not a doctor, the whole world will be a mess knows his illness but no way, life will not be back, the disease has a place, a person was taken away the precious life, people will not be able to fight against the disease, can only let it pushed around, it is also more firmly the ideal, I want to be a doctor, also deepened my yearning for the doctor.

Some people say that I am careless, when bad to the doctor this career, one thousand fault diagnosis of disease, let the patient take wrong medicine, it can push things into irreparable, but I wont give up, even if have hundreds, I will not give up my ideal, I can overcome one by one, step by step closer to the ideal, then put it into reality.

Ideal is like a beacon, for your guidance, I will not give up, until the day I will achieve it...

一个人的理想可以很伟大,也可以很渺小,可以重如泰山,也能轻若鸿毛,而我的理想是成为一个医生,尽我的全部力量,为病人带来健康和微笑,让他们感到温暖。

医生这个职业是崇高的,伟大的,他们为了拯救病人,可以不顾辛劳和疲倦,彻夜不眠,他们身着白大褂,为病人带来光明,带来希望,严格地执行着“白衣天使”的使命——驱赶疾病.记得有一次,我在拿玩具时,头不慎撞在了桌角上,我顿时昏了过去,已不省人事。父母立刻把我送往医院,医生对我进行了观察,把我送上了病床,开始了缝针,当我清醒时,我已躺在了家里的床上,连头也不痛了,只是有点晕,除此之外,全安然无恙,就仿佛是做了一场梦,这件事让我知道了医生是整个世界不可或缺的一个职业,假若没有医生,整个世界将一片混乱明知自己生病了却毫无办法,生命将不会被挽回,病魔所过之处,一个个人被夺去了宝贵的生命,人们将无力与病魔抗争,只能任其摆布,这也更加坚定了我要成为医生的理想,也加深了我对医生的向往。

有人说我很粗心,当不好医生这个职业,万一诊断错病名,让病人取错药,那么就会把事情推入无法挽回的地步,但我不会放弃,就算有千百个阻挠,我也不会放弃我的理想,我会一一克服,一步步地接近这个理想,再把它变为现实。

理想就像一盏明灯,为你指引方向,我一定不会放弃,直到我将它实现的那一天……

became famous soon and a lot of people came to beg me for some characters.I felt

very proud of myself.But when I picked the pen up and wrote down a character, I

found it very ugly.The pen no longer had magic. I was frightened into cold

sweat.Seeing this, people understood what was happening.They all laughed at me

and said that I was a cheat.I tried to find some place to hide but couldnt find

any.

昨天晚上，我做了一个有趣的梦。在梦中，我意外地得到了一支魔笔，用它我可以写出漂亮的汉字。然后我参加了一个书法大赛。在魔笔的帮助下我获得了第一名，很快我出名了，许多人都向我求字。我感到非常自豪。但是当我拿起魔笔，写下一个字时，我发现那个字非常丑。魔笔不再有魔力了，我被吓出了一身冷汗。看到这些，人们明白发生了什么事情。他们都嘲笑我，说我是个骗子。我竭力想找一个地方躲起来，却无容身之地。

The word "low carbon" has become the pronoun of 21st century, low carbon is also because now people realize the importance of protecting the environment, to create a word. So I decided to, in the future life, I also want to "low carbon" everywhere, protect our survival homeland.

Everything from the beginning of the trip, I go out less as far as possible to get a taxi, short distance of walking, long distance sit bus. I found that, after a period of time, I will save money, and exercise the body, is the best of both worlds.

Then, we should start from the water. I try to use the laundry water to clean the toilet, mop the floor... Every time to drink water, I will pick up as much as they remember to drink water, not pick up more, save water resources. Slowly, I found that mop and clean, even I can do.

In the end, is the power saving. Brightly lit at night, our family, each room the lights are on, sometimes, no one in front of the TV, TV is still open, waste a lot of electricity. I told mom and dad, the door after you leave the room. Dont watch TV, remember to turn off the television, and less use the computer. In the daytime, can not turn on the light, dont turn on the light. Our family all do that, I believe that our electricity will be a lot less. Two months later, the mother to go for electricity time-consuming, found many degrees less electricity!

I learned from the Internet, in Beijing, people in order to make cars less discharge exhaust, with single and double car that runs on different dates. To develop car free day, also hope you can low carbon life, the protection and preservation of our home!

低碳”这个词已经成为21世纪的代名词，低碳也是因为现在的人们终于认识到保护环境的重要性，才创造出的这个词。所以我决定，在以后的生活中，我也要处处“低碳”，保护我们生存的家园。

一切从出行开始，我出门尽量少坐出租车，距离短的就步行，距离长的就坐公交车。我发现，一段时间后，我既节省了路费，又锻炼了身体，真可谓两全其美。

接着，就要从节水做起了。我尽量用洗衣水来清洁马桶、拖地……每次喝水，我会记着要喝多少就接多少水，绝不多接，节约饮用水资源。慢慢的，我发现，地拖得越来越干净，连我都能照的出来了。

最后，就是节电了。一到晚上，我们家就灯火通明，每个房间的灯都开着，有时，电视机前没有人，电视依旧开着，浪费了不少电。我告诉爸爸妈妈，离开房间后要随手关灯。不看电视时，记得将电视关闭，并且少用电脑。在白天，能不开灯，就不要开灯。我们一家人都那么做，我相信，我们家的电费一定会少不少的。两个月后，妈妈再去交电费时，发现少了好几度电呢!

我从网上了解到：在北京，人们为了让汽车少排出尾气，有了单双号汽车在不同日期行驶。制订了无车日，也是希望大家可以低碳生活，保护我们赖以生存的家园!
