勇气使我成长的英语作文【经典20篇】

想要成功，有一颗勇敢的心是必要的，只有有了勇气，你才敢去面对;只有有了勇气，你才敢去面对、承担前方的困难，承担自己的责任，最后才能收获成功。 If you want to succeed, a courageous heart is necessary. Only with the courage, you dare to face it; only if you have the courage, you dare to go to faceWith the difficulties of the ahead, you can take your own responsibilities, and finally you can gain success.

拿破仑，一个小矮子，却成为了欧洲的霸主，如果没有勇气，他怎敢窥视那至高无上的皇位宝座。如果没有勇气，他只会是一个战场还会偷偷逃跑的小士兵;而想要当将军的士兵要有野心，更要有勇气，因为有无数人在窥视将军宝座，你如果退缩一步，便会被无情抛弃;如果坚持，就要与无数劲敌厮杀。你需要巨大的勇气来支持你，才会有机会等上巅峰。

勇气是一个人成功的催化剂，勇敢者总是能更快地走向成功。当然，也不能排除一些没有勇气的人因运气或其他种.种走向成功。但是这些人取得的成功往往都是一些小的成功，而那些大的成功永远是那些勇敢者得到的。像汉高祖刘邦，成吉思汗等等，他们获得的成功绝不是运气，而靠的是在战场上无畏的杀敌，他们都是勇敢者。

勇，不是鲁莽，是有勇有谋，勇敢者和愣头青永远也画不上等号，勇敢者是在有把握或有一丝的把握才回去做这件事的人。而愣头青却是不管三七二十一地想做什么就做什么，所以，勇敢的勇和勇气的勇是有勇有谋的勇。

在学习中，如果连超过在你前面的人的勇气都没有，那你就永远不可能超过他。中考满分作文只有有勇气，有毅力，才能在学习上取得进步。

历史永远是成功者的光荣史，它记载的永远是勇敢者的光辉。所以想让别人知道你的光辉，就要成功，而成功必须拥有的就是勇气。只要有勇气，才敢面对挫折与困难。只有有勇气，才能战胜这些。只有有勇气，成功才会属于你。

未来的世界，是勇敢者的世界。软弱的人只能活在生活的社会最底层。拥有勇气，让成功属于我们;拥有勇气，让我们创造成功。

我曾经有个理想，某一天一觉醒来增高5厘米。我知道你们一定觉得这个理想非常鬼扯，但是，如果你跟我一样，每当清晨迎着朝阳与晨风踏进校园，踌躇满志地对崭新的一天说“早”，而身边总能传来一个嬉笑的声音：“你这道题又错了，呆瓜”，你们就会明白我的痛苦了。

我的同桌是一个小矮子，但同时又是一个学霸。在我看来，他最大的乐趣就是用他的智商辗压我，嘲讽我，奚落我，我对他真是又畏又恨又爱。 为了不再被他嘲讽，我下定决心努力学习，反扑倒他。我的朋友们都不相信，认为不可能，讲真，我内心也是有些气馁的 。因为，在读书这件事上，如果他是喜马拉雅山，那我就是吐鲁番盆地。但是，梦想就是一个别人都觉得像个笑话，而你自己当作宝贝一样的东西。为了我的梦想，我决定血拼到底。但由于以前数学底子太差，很多时候我对着一摞练习卷愁肠百结，几乎就要泪满襟。这时候总是“啪”的一声，一个本子丢到我桌上——解题思路。“那道题你都看了一节课了，再看下去会开花吗？”恐惧的声音快速传人我的耳朵，我抖了一下。“加油，呆瓜！”我还没回过神来，他已留下个潇洒帅气的背影头也不回的走了。

我每天抽时间补习以前落下的基础，争分夺秒地做数学练习，但成绩依旧没什么起色。我的内心很沮丧，付出了那么多努力，却没有一点用，一份耕耘一份收获什么的都是骗人的，我开始自暴自弃，刚好那段时间电脑出来了新游戏，我的课余时间都奉献给了它。我畅游在游戏的海洋里，享受自己在游戏里的成功。结果，又一次数学考试成绩出来，我的数学居然不及格！我很茫然。“网络中的成功你很享受，但是现实中呢？你现在还不努力，沉迷于网络游戏，不趁着青春年华好好拼搏一番，少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲！你自己不努力，别人想拉你一把都无处下手。长嘴只用来吃饭的吗？不懂不会问吗？我会帮你的！告诉你，现实中的成功你会更感到更喜悦！”我幡然醒悟，重新开始。我不仅上课认真听讲，课余时间狂做练习，还“恬不知耻”地随时向他请教不懂的问题，请他批改我的练习；他则一边嘲讽技能全开，翻着白眼吐槽：“这道题你都会错？太无语了！”，一边把他的笔记扔给我，再认真细心的给我讲解解题思路。时间不够，尽力去挤，持之以恒，水到渠成。对自己认真就是对生活认真。几个月后，数学成绩稳步上升。

最简单的音符，需要最艰苦的练习，台上一分钟，台下十年功。人生和成长都是如此，需要我们坚持不懈，最终才能攀登上高峰。

人生的路是漫长的。但是我知道无论道路多长多坎坷，我都有信心走完这充满阳光和泥泞的路，就好比我喜欢向日葵，它象征勇敢、向上和坚强。

留不住岁月的脚步，留不住儿时的天真，我跟着时间慢慢长大。一路收获，一路成长……

还记得小时候跌倒的情景吗？

那天风和日丽，我在家门口玩耍，突然不小心摔了一跤，磕破了膝盖。妈妈闻讯赶来，看到是一块石头把我绊倒了。妈妈说：“坏石子，坏石子害得宝贝摔倒了”我扑哧一声笑了，“妈妈，石子又没有长脚。是我自己不小心摔倒的。”妈妈看了看，是呀，没有说什么。妈妈没有说什么，她只是抚摸着我的头笑了。我忍受着疼痛，鼓起勇气站起来。

成长，需要勇气。跌倒了要有勇气站起来，犯错误了要有勇于承担错误的勇气。

转眼间，我快小学毕业了。在人生前行的道路上，我们或许会遇到很多困难，不知所措。有勇气去面对，就要有勇气征服。不过没有彻底的失败，也没有完全的成功。一切还是需要一种坚持。

成长，需要勇气。成长的路上，充满挑战。我们是否能化险为夷？前方的路是未知的，或许黑暗，但我们要有勇气把握自己的人生，有勇气挑战自己。

成长，需要勇气。磕磕绊绊的经历会让我们的生活更加丰富多彩。

[作文成长需要勇气450字

现在的我，活泼开朗。那么你一定想不到，以前的我，其实是安静得让人忽视了存在的人。正是这可贵的勇气，让我的性格有如此大的蜕变，让我成长。

这是一个初秋的中午。天气已微微转凉。略带清爽的风都吹不散班内激烈的气氛。里面正在进行着激烈的班委竞选。不时能听到同学们兴奋的掌声，亦或是竞选者声情并茂的演讲。可我却仿佛融不进这场景里去，额头上满是密密麻麻的小汗珠，它们顺着鬓角一颗一颗地落下，桌边逐渐多起显著的痕迹。

这可是我的第一次演讲。攥着演讲稿的手从未松过，还在不断地捏紧、攥紧、揉紧。又回想起自己以前连买东西都怕的经历，越发觉得前边的黑板、讲台、那突起的地面，像一个个怪兽一样，向我扑来，越发恐怖无比。

我最大的竞争对手正在台上演讲着。他面带微笑，还不时做一些手势，说一些好玩又不失礼貌的话，惹得同学们都用赞许的目光看着他。而同学们每次对他的赞许，都像是在嘲笑我的无能一般，冰冷而刺骨。

我便在这煎熬中等到了一丝曙光。老师点了我的名字，并对我眉眼含笑以示鼓励。同学们的目光也纷纷投向我，里面有不信任，有不屑甚至我还感觉到了嘲讽。我不甘也愤怒着。凭什么我就不行！我不比他们差！我猛地松开手中的稿子，借桌子发力站起身来。想要迈步，却发现腿似山般沉重。我咬紧了牙，深吸口气，用不知从哪里来的气力，向前迈了一小步，然后再迈，再迈，再迈……正是这一小步，让我在瞬间有了成长。

站在台上，身体仍轻颤着，我不敢看同学们现在是怎样的目光。沉默了将近半分钟，班内落针可闻，我的不安也在一瞬间涨到了极点。想出声却不知从何开口，想起对手那完美的发挥，想起同学们不信任的目光，再想起老师的期许。刚才那股子气力又涌了上来。我深鞠了一躬，开始了我的演讲，那一刻，我知道了它的名字——勇气。

渐渐地，我沉浸在自己的世界里，甚至都没发觉到我的头在一点一点地抬高；我的嘴角在一点一点地上扬，直至一个完美的弧度。在最后的尾音落下的那一刻，我对上了一双饱含笑意的双眼，正是让我竞选的班主任。同时，漫天的如同潮水般的掌声向我袭来。看着同学们惊叹、赞许的目光，看着对手不敢相信的表情，我就知道，我成功了！而这一切都源于我那可贵的勇气一次又一次地给予我力量。

我再次深鞠一躬，走下台去，身体比以往轻松了许多。从此以后的每一次演讲我便变得自信大方，再没了紧张的机会，性格也随之慢慢改变。这一切都是因为我拥有了勇气。

勇气的确是个神奇的东西，它能给我力量，让我改变，让我成长。感谢这可贵的勇气，我的人生，因它而璀璨辉煌！

Each and every one has his own troubles in the process of growth of I, is no exception.

My troubles and almost everyone. For example: the examination didnt test good and work a lot more like the wuzhishan was too pressure to lift my head... Sometimes I wish I never grow up, just like the wayward Peter pan. In the stream of time, or quietly grew up... Every time I look at wutong leaves pieces, has filled the whole earth. I always think the leaves fell down in a flurry of is to hide a big secret, and I sweep leaves open, see always black asphalt road. Every time the clouds pass by overhead, I always silly looking at the sky, what want to see after the clouds passed. But I know that, behind the clouds is still the sky, the same sky. Interrogation, one of the two is the most profound, I remember the first time I didnt write a composition, I dont know whats going on I just dont like to write a composition, one to write a composition my brain will explode, but cant write, had to save words scraps, the written word. BUT the teacher had to write six hundred words, in my this is a big discount, so we have to start up words, words enough statements not smooth again is flawed. Finally with the help of dad finished, another boy one day to see the time in the past. So I dont want to write so disgusted composition.

The second time I didnt write my homework at home because my parents in the east, "write better." West 1: "word and word alignment" is not willing to write to the school to write, but didnt finish writing by the teacher to the office again, this time I was fired, that is I never stopped writing homework this time.

In the process of growth of the trouble, just a small test of your life, after the small test you will growth step.

每一个人在成长的过程中都有自己的烦恼我也不例外。

我的烦恼和大家的差不多。比如说：考试没考好、作业一箩筐多得都像五指山把我压得抬不起头……有时候真希望自己永远也不要长大，就像那个任性的彼得潘一样。而在时光的洪流中，还是悄悄的渐渐长大……每次看着梧桐树叶一片片掉下来，一直掉满整个大地。我总觉得那些树叶慌慌张张的掉下来是为了遮住一个大秘密，而我扫开落叶，看到的总是黑色的柏油马路。每次云朵路过头顶，我总会傻傻望着天空，想看看云朵走过后露出的是什么。但我知道，云后面还是那个天空，一成不变的天空。审讯，其中有两次是我记得最深刻，第一次我没有写作文，不知道怎么回事我就是不喜欢写作文，一写作文我脑子就要爆炸，可又不能不写，只好搜肠刮肚攒词，词写好了。BUT老师让写六百字，在我这可就是大打折扣了，只好开始凑字，字数够了语句又不通顺了可谓是漏洞百出。最后还是在老爸的帮助下写完了，再一看时间好家伙一天过去了。因此我十分厌恶作文不愿意写。

我第二次不写作业是因为我在家里父母东一句：“字写好点。”西一句：“字和字要对齐”不愿意写就到学校写，可是没写完又被老师拎到办公室，这一次我差一点就被开除了，也就是这一回我再也不敢不写作业了。

在成长的过程中的那些烦恼，只是对你的一生的小考验，过了这些小考验你就会成长一步。

我，是一个很不自信的女孩，做什么事情都不敢，简直就是一只小鸟，听到一点动静就吓逃大人背后，更别说，对老师讲话，因此我越来越胆小，。

就在有一次我好想得到了勇气，渐渐的我发现得到勇气并不难，反而越来越来简单，根本不用自己去得，其实勇气就藏在你的心灵之处。

一开始我以为勇气就像一块巨石，你越不想得到，大就会用大，你越想得到，他就会越小，其实一开始我不想得到勇气，因为我觉勇气并没有用处过了一段时间，我发现勇气很有用处，他可以让你，勇敢的拿起话筒，放出声大声讲话，勇敢的看着老师的眼睛讲话，大胆的举手发言，说错了也没关系，就是有一件事，才让我勇敢的站在讲台上讲话，并当上一个小老师。

午后，一路暖阳照在教室里，我们放下一切心事，尽情朗读。时间飞快的流逝，下课了，只剩最后一节课了，大家都很兴奋，最后一节还是体育课，我们像刚出狱的小鸟一样，奔向操场。

上课了，我们排好队伍想快速跑好步，就可以自由活动。开始跑了，一组一组过去了，终于到我了，我做好姿势，听好口令，像一只鸟，跑向前，第一圈，我还很好，可到了最后一圈，我用尽了全身的力气，跑回终点，突然，“喷”的一声在我的耳边传出了一记声音，我往边上看了看，脚下突然松了，啊啊啊!鞋边的那条线松了，鞋子从我的脚上滑了下去，当时，我想逃避，但这是一场比赛，如果我中途退出，对其他人很不公平，我豁出命了，我抓起鞋子，往终点跑，到了我望着自己那双脚，很想他不是我的脚，我小心翼翼的来到校门口，来到传达室，我拨打着电话发现电话线断了，正当我没办法时，一位美丽而又温柔的阿姨，出现了，正当我绝望的时候，我鼓起勇气，向前问了问阿姨，阿姨二话不说拿出手机让我打电话，我拨打好电话，静静的等待，我望着那位阿姨远离的背影，心中充满了感激。

是她让我得到了勇气，是她让我知道了勇气到来，是她让我成长，是她帮助了我，是她……

父亲带了一双鞋，递给我，让我穿起来，此刻我想到了那位阿姨是多么的伟大。

如今，我已经五年级了，想起那件事，我的眼泪不知不觉掉了下来，我很后悔，那时为什么不记清楚那位阿姨，也许我找到她，她也忘记了我。

时间可以倒流那该多好!

[勇气伴我成长作文

在我看来，成长之路，勇气是必不可少的一个东西。我们干什么事都需要勇气。比如那一天，勇气就让我学到了很多。 那是一个炎热的星期天，我正在家里看电视，突然，我的好朋友来找我。他让我出去玩，我说：这么大热天的，去哪啊?他说：我们去天中广场，等去了你就知道了。我思索了一会儿，说：好吧。走，我们现在就出发。妈妈听了笑笑，说:这么热的天你们要出去啊，来，我给你几块钱，热了好卖冰棍。我高兴极了，走。出发。

我们一会儿便到了天中广场的气象台，我说：来这干嘛啊，他笑了笑，说:你看那边的池塘边上。我看了看，那边有一条窄窄的边，那很窄，却很高，足有1米高。我看了看，说：哎呀，你带我来这里干啥。他说：你看着吧。说着，便走了上去。那一条窄路紧贴气象台，他两手伸开。一步一步挪动着。我说：你真胆大，他说：你也会行的你试试吧。我思考了一会儿，说：好吧。他看我的神情说：韩。只要你有勇气，就一定会成功的。我点了点头，有了一份勇气，说：我一定能行。我战战克克走了上去，脚刚踏上去，勇气就减少了一点。这是我看我的好朋友已经快到头儿了，在心里想，我一定能行，不要害怕。于是，我就开始走。一会儿，便走了半截，我心中的勇气又增加了一点。开始加快速度，一会儿，我一块走到头了。我现在急忙跳了下去，落到了地上。心中顿时平静了下来。我在地上看看池塘里的水，一阵暖风吹来，把我心中刚才的恐惧感顿时没有了。想：我竟然成功了，只要有勇气，就一定会成功呢。我高兴极了，说：走，我们去买冰棍。于是，我和我的好朋友高兴的跑开了。

这件事让我认识了：只要有信心，勇气，就能战胜一切恐惧。任何事情都能办成。也让我感到了：人的生活中处处都能学到东西。

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of

parental discipline even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have

to be governed by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These

are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may

trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned

above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. For

example, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them

gradually. It’s hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age

that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence

afflicts us a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts

of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us

from happiness.

Courage is very important. Everyone needs it. We will meet many

difficulties in our life and sometimes we will fail, but we can’t lose courage.

If we lose courage, we can’t do anything, because we don’t dare to do anything;

we are afraid of failure. This is my Chinese teacher me in the first class. I

agree with him. For example, we don’t have the courage to hands up to say our

answer, how can we know we are right or wrong. I will remember his word

forever,” never lose courage .”

没有勇气什么都做不成。如果没有勇气，成龙不会拍出那么多武打片;如果没有勇气，那些现在红得发紫的明星也不会有那么大的成就。做什么事情都需要勇气，成长，也一样。

我们都很勇敢?是的。如果我们不勇敢，怎么可能脱离妈妈温暖的羊水来到这个美好而又残酷的世界。没有勇气，我们不可能经历无数的挫折，然后长大。做什么事情都需要勇气，成长，也一样。

勇敢其实并不难。经常会有这种话语：“你真胆小。”“你要勇敢!”“…………”但是你要知道，你是勇敢的，至少，你也勇敢过。做什么事情都需要勇气，成长，也一样。

听到这些话语，你会很郁闷吧?其实并不需要郁闷。只要你知道：“我是勇敢的!”其实你本来就很勇敢。其他人也是这样。所以你不要嘲笑别人不勇敢。大家都是勇敢的。做什么事情都需要勇气，成长，也一样。

第一次上台演讲，第一次表演节目，第一次当着很多人的面发表对另一个人的看法……人生中有很多第一次，这些第一次中，你都会觉得自己并不勇敢。其实你是勇敢的。做什么事情都需要勇气，成长，也一样。

挫折是必须面对的，成长中必定有挫折。不经过风风雨雨，没有挫折的磨练，你必定不会成功。而面队这些挫折时，需要勇敢。你可以不勇敢，但是你不能永远不勇敢。做什么事情都需要勇气，成长，也一样。

做什么事情都需要勇气，成长，也一样。想要快乐，想要成功，必须勇敢。

在我看来，成长之路，勇气是必不可少的一个东西。我们干什么事都需要勇气。比如那一天，勇气就让我学到了很多。那是一个炎热的星期天，我正在家里看电视，突然，我的好朋友来找我。他让我出去玩，我说：这么大热天的，去哪啊？他说：我们去天中广场，等去了你就知道了。我思索了一会儿，说：好吧。走，我们现在就出发。妈妈听了笑笑，说：这么热的天你们要出去啊，来，我给你几块钱，热了好卖冰棍。我高兴极了，走。出发。

勇气是人类文明亘古不变的主题，但是对勇气的系统性研究却是最近才开始的。什么是勇气？勇气从何而来？它在身体和大脑中是如何体现的？为何我们会对它如此之挚爱？没有恐惧感是不是件好事情呢？本文将一一予以解答。

In his 20 years as a firefighter and paramedic in Colorado Springs, Bruce Monson, 43, has had his little fist-bumps with death: a burning roof collapsing on top of him, toxic fumes nearly suffocating him.

在其作为科罗拉多斯普林斯（Colorado Springs）市消防员和急救人员的20年生涯里，43岁的布鲁斯·蒙逊（Bruce Monson）跟死神有过小小的亲密接触：一座燃烧的屋顶从他头顶坍塌，有毒气体几乎令其窒息。

Yet far more terrifying than any personal threats are what Mr. Monson describes as the "bad kid calls," like the one from a mother who had put her 18-month-old son down in his crib right next to a window with a Venetian blind and its old-fashioned cord.

但是比所有的个人威胁都要恐怖得多的，是被蒙逊先生描述为"捣蛋鬼电话"的，就像是一位妈妈打过来的电话一样，这位母亲把自己18个月大的孩子放到了婴儿床上，而婴儿床则正好靠近一个带有软百叶窗和老式绳索的窗户。

"The kid had grabbed the cord and gotten it twisted around his neck, and the mother came in and found him hanging there," said Mr. Monson. "Im the first one in the door, shes in a panic, and she shoves the kid into my arms, crying, Please save him, please save him! "

"小孩抓住了那条绳子，然后被绳子绕住了自己的脖子，接着母亲进来就发现他悬在那里了"，蒙逊先生说："我是第一个上门的，她还在恐慌之中，一把就将孩子塞到我手臂里，哭着说，请救救他，快救救他！"。

The childs body was blue, but Mr. Monson and his fellows met parental despair with professional focus and did everything they could. "We worked on him for over an hour," said Mr. Monson. "Its like a state of calm. Youre so tuned in to what youre doing, youre not thinking about the reality of the situation."

孩子的身体都已经发紫了，但蒙逊先生和同伴的职业素养遭遇了父母的绝望眼神，他们竭尽所能。"我们在孩子身上努力了一个多钟头"，蒙逊先生说："那就好像是进入了一种入定的状态。你对自己的正在做的事情是如此的全神贯注，以至于到了弃现实情况于不顾的地步"。

Their best was not enough, however, and later, at the hospital, the terrible sadness settled in.

然而，尽其所能仍回天乏力，随后在医院里传来了噩耗。

As Mr. Monson filled out his report, the mother sat in the trauma rooms designated "bereavement rocking chair," rocking her dead son, saying her goodbyes, while family members filed in and wailed at the sight.

正如蒙逊在报告中所写的那样，那位母亲坐在创伤室指定的"丧亲摇摇椅"上，不断摇晃着她死去的孩子，喃喃着自己的告别，此情此景，一旁的家庭成员也哀嚎不已。

An image of that mother in her rocking chair comes to Mr. Monsons mind every time he answers another "bad kid" call, spurring him to keep going, to never give up or grow sloppy or cynical, to simply do his job; and through doing his job, he has saved far more lives than he has lost.

每次接到一个又一个的"捣蛋鬼"电话时，蒙逊先生的脑海总会浮现出那位母亲坐在摇摇椅上的景象，激励着他不断前进，永不放弃，永远都不能麻痹大意或者是愤世嫉俗，只想着做好自己的工作；通过他的努力，他所救活的生命远远超过了失去的。

Only once did he allow the furniture connection to spook him — when his own wife was at the same hospital having emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and his young daughter happened to climb onto the bereavement seat. "I knew it was a totally irrational thing to do," he said, "but I made her get out of that chair."

这种联想只有一次让他被吓到了—— 当他自己的妻子因为宫外孕破裂在同一家医院接受急救手术的时候，他年轻的女儿恰巧爬上了那张丧亲之椅。"我知道，这完全是一件荒谬的事情"，他说："但是我把她从椅子上弄下来了"。

Courage is something that we want for ourselves in gluttonous portions and adore in others without qualification. Yet for all the longstanding centrality of courage to any standard narrative of human greatness, only lately have researchers begun to study it systematically, to try to define what it is and is not, where it comes from, how it manifests itself in the body and brain, who we might share it with among nonhuman animals, and why we love it so much.

勇气是某种我们希望自己富有并无保留地仰慕别人拥有的东西。在人类文明的任何标准记叙当中，勇气的中心地位一直是屹立不倒的，尽管如此，但是研究者也只是最近才开始对它进行系统性的研究，试图去定义什么是勇气，什么不是勇气，勇气从何而来，它在身体和大脑中是如何体现的，在非人类的动物里面我们会跟谁分享勇气，以及为何我们会对它如此之挚爱。

A new report in the journal Current Biology describes the case of a woman whose rare congenital syndrome has left her completely, outrageously fearless, raising the question of whether its better to conquer ones fears, or to never feel them in the first place.

《现代生物学》杂志的一份新报告描述了一个案例，一位患有罕见的先天性综合症的女人，在全然无所畏惧的情况下彻底痊愈，报告向我们提出了一个问题，是否说克服恐惧，或者永远不把恐惧摆在首位是不是会更好？

In another recent study, neuroscientists scanned the brains of subjects as they struggled successfully to overcome their terror of snakes, identifying regions of the brain that may be key to our everyday heroics.

在另一份最新研究中，神经系统科学家扫描了成功克服了对蛇的恐惧感的研究对象的大脑，确定了有可能是我们平常英雄事迹的关键的大脑区域。

Researchers in the Netherlands are exploring courage among children, to see when the urge for courage first arises, and what children mean when they call themselves brave.

荷兰的研究者正在探索儿童的勇气之源，试图找出什么时候会催生出勇气来，以及孩子们自称勇敢时其意思是什么。

The theme of courage claims a long and gilded ancestry. Plato included courage among the four cardinal or principal virtues, along with wisdom, justice and moderation.

勇气这个主题有着久远而辉煌的历史。柏拉图把勇气与智慧、正义及节制一起，列为四种体液或称之为四美德。

"As a major virtue, courage helps to define the excellent person and is no mere optional trait," writes George Kateb, a political theorist and emeritus professor at Princeton University. "One of the worst reproaches in the world is to be called a coward."

"作为一项主要美德，勇气帮助我们定义优秀之人，它不是可有可无的选项"，普林斯顿大学的政治理论家和名誉教授乔治·卡泰（George Kateb）说："这个世界上最糟糕的指责之一就是被称为懦夫"。

Yet defining what it means to be courageous has often proved as thistly as distinguishing the wise ones from the fools. For Plato and many other authorities, courage is above all a martial art, most readily displayed on the battlefield — the iconic brave solder running into the line of fire to retrieve an injured comrade.

但是，要界定什么是勇敢，往往被证明跟在愚者中区分出智者一样的棘手。对于柏拉图和许多其他的权威来说，勇气首先是一种搏击术，最容易在战场上展示出来——标志性的铁血战士冲破火线救出受伤的战友。

But Dr. Kateb points out that if courage finds its highest expression in war, then the trait paradoxically becomes an immoral virtue, ennobling war and carnage by insisting that only in battle can men — and it usually is men — discover the depths of their nobility.

但是卡泰博士指出，如果说勇敢在战争中有最高表现的话，那么其特点就自相矛盾地成为不道德的美德，强调人们，通常是指男人，只有通过战争才能发掘其灵魂深处的高贵，从而把战争和屠杀高尚化。

Marilynne Robinson, the novelist and social critic, has observed that courage is "dependent on cultural definition" and "rarely expressed except where there is sufficient consensus to support it." Where religious martyrdom is lionized, there will be martyrs; where social or political protest is seen as glorious warfare in civvies, there will be a rash of red-faced declaimers, soapboxes on every street.

玛丽琳·罗宾逊（Marilynne Robinson），小说家和社会评论家，她已经注意到勇气"依赖于文化定义"，"很少被表达出来，除了在得到足够的舆论支持的场合"。在为宗教而罹难者被奉为圣人的地方，就会有殉道者；在社会或政治抗议被视为光荣的平民斗争的地方，每一条街道临时搭建的演讲台上就都会充斥着面红耳赤、激昂陈词的演说家。

In pioneering work from 1970s and beyond, Stanley J. Rachman of the University of British Columbia and others studied the physiology and behavior of paratroopers as they prepared for their first parachute jump.

在上世纪70年代及之后的开创性工作中，不列颠哥伦比亚大学的斯坦利.J.拉赫曼（Stanley J.Rachman）等人在其首次跳伞准备的过程中研究了伞兵的生理及行为特征。

The work revealed three basic groups: the preternaturally fearless, who displayed scant signs of the racing heart, sweaty palms, spike in blood pressure and other fight-or-flight responses associated with ordinary fear, and who jumped without hesitation; the handwringers, whose powerful fear response at the critical moment kept them from jumping; and finally, the ones who reacted physiologically like the handwringers but who acted like the fearless leapers, and, down the hatch.

这项工作发现了三个基本组别：超乎寻常的大无畏者，很少表现出心跳加速、血压升高、手心出汗及其他的与平常恐惧有关的战或逃反应，在跳伞的时候总是毫不犹豫；踌躇紧张者，在关键时刻其强大的恐惧反应令其不敢跳下；以及最后一组，在生理反应上与踌躇紧张者一致，但却像无畏的跳伞者一样行动、最终跳下舱口的人。

These last Dr. Rachman deemed courageous, defining courage as "behavioral approach in spite of the experience of fear." By that expansive definition, courage becomes democratized and demilitarized, the property of any wallflower who manages to give the convention speech, or the math phobe who decides to take calculus.

其中最后一组被拉赫曼博士视为勇敢，即"弃恐惧体验于不顾的行为方式"。按照这种扩展性定义，勇气变得民主化和非军事化，它是任何一位设法进行提名演讲的局外人的专属，或者是一位对数学恐惧的人决定去学微积分。

Through interviews with some 320 children aged 8 to 13, Peter Muris of Erasmus University Rotterdam and his colleagues found that children also equate courage with the conquering of ones fears, and more than 70 percent of the respondents claimed they had performed one or more brave acts, including rescuing a little brother whod fallen in the swimming pool, saving a cat from a tree, biking home through the woods at night, and stealing money from ones mothers purse — yes, that will make the heart race, all right.

通过对大概320位年龄在8岁到3岁之间的小孩的采访，鹿特丹大学（Erasmus University Rotterdam）的彼得·缪里斯（Peter Muris）及其同事发现，孩子们也把克服恐惧等同视为勇敢的表现，超过70%的调查对象声称自己进行了一或多项勇敢的行为，包括搭救跌落泳池的小弟弟，拯救树上的一个小猫咪，晚上穿越树林骑车回家，以及从妈妈钱包里偷东西——是的，这些都会令心跳加速，好吧。

Joel Berger, a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society and the University of Montana, also distinguishes between animals that behave boldly for lack of experience — like mockingbirds unfamiliar with humans that will alight on the rim of a persons cup to take a drink — and those that are aware of a danger but proceed in the face of it.

乔尔·博格（Joel Berger），野生动物保护协会及蒙大拿大学的一位生物学家，也把缺乏经验而行为大胆的动物区分出来——像不熟悉人类的嘲鸟会飞落到某人杯子的边缘喝上一口——而那些意识到危险的则会弃之不顾继续飞行。

He cited the time he and his colleagues had immobilized a young bison in preparation for taking blood samples, and when they returned, an unrelated adult male bison was standing guard over the yearling, refusing to let the scientists approach.

他举了一个例子，某次自己和同事固定住一头年轻的野牛，准备采血样，当他们回来的时候，一头不相干的成年雄性野牛却守卫在小牛的周围，拒绝让科学家靠近。

"He knew that he could be attacked by us, and there was no genetic kinship involved," said Dr. Berger. "Courage may be a human construct, but Id call this a courageous, even heroic act."

"它知道自己有可能被我们攻击，而且它们之间也没有遗传的亲缘关系"，博格说："勇敢也许是人类行为，但是我会把这一举动称为有胆量、甚至是英勇行为"。

Seeking to capture the sensation of courage in real time, Yadin Dudai, a neurobiologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and his colleagues scanned the brains of people with a known phobia toward snakes as they were confronted with a live, large, harmless but indubitably serpentine corn snake.

为了能实时捕捉到勇敢的体验，以色列雷霍沃特魏茨曼科学研究所的也丁·杜代（Yadin Dudai）及其同事，在一个放有一条大型的、活体的、无害的但是的确是蛇无疑的玉米锦蛇的现场扫描了一位已知对蛇有恐惧感的人的大脑。

Lying in the scanner, the subjects could choose either to allow a box holding the snake to come closer, or to keep it away. As reported last June in the journal Neuron, the participants who squelched their terror and pressed the "snake approach" button showed activation of a brain region called the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex.

躺在扫描仪里，受试者可以选择让装有蛇的箱体靠近自己，或把它拿开。根据去年6月《神经元》杂志的报导，克服了自己恐惧感、按下"让蛇靠近"按钮的受试者，在一个被称为亚属前扣带皮质的大脑区域发现有活动。

Located toward the front of the brain, the structure has been implicated in depression and, intriguingly, altruistic behavior, and is thought to help negotiate between emotion and cognition, impulse and calculation.

该结构位于大脑的前部，与抑郁、魅力及利他行为有关联，被认为是在情感和认知、冲动和考量之间起到帮助的部分。

The thumb-size bundle of neurons acknowledges the yellow belly within but then moves to stanch its quivering power. And it does this in large part by dialing down the activity of the amygdala, long known as the brains central headquarters of fear.

这个拇指大小的神经元束能认知内在的懦弱，但是随后会转移到平息颤抖的能量。它会在很大程度上降低黄杏体的活动，长久以来那都被认为是恐惧的中枢。

For the serious cowards among us, the chronic need to conquer fear can get tedious. Why not just skip the anterior cingulate reveille and muzzle the brains fear response for good? The story of SM, a 44-year-old woman whose rare genetic condition has selectively destroyed the brains twinned set of amygdala, shows the clear downside of a life without fear.

对于我们当中具有严重胆怯的人来说，习惯性的克服恐惧的需要会变得乏味起来。何不干脆一劳永逸地无视大脑前扣带的起床号，让大脑对恐惧的反应缄默呢？那个SM的故事，一位患有罕见遗传病的44岁女人选择性地破坏其大脑孪生杏黄体集之后的结果，表明了缺乏恐惧的生活的明显缺陷。

As Justin Feinstein, a clinical neuropsychologist at the University of Iowa, and his colleagues describe in Current Biology, the otherwise normal SM is incapable of being spooked.

正如衣阿华大学的临床神经心理学家贾斯汀·范士丹（Justin Feinstein）及其同事在《当代生物学》杂志中所描述的那样，在其他方面正常的SM对受惊吓已无反应。

She claimed to fear snakes and spiders, and maybe she did in her pre-disease childhood, but when the researchers took her to an exotic pet store, they were astonished to see that not only did she not avoid the snakes and spiders, she was desperate to hold them close.

她宣称害怕蛇和蜘蛛，也许她在患病前的儿童时期的确如此，但是当她被研究人员带到一个国外的宠物店的时候，他们惊奇地发现，她不仅不回避蛇和蜘蛛，而且还拼命抓起它们套近乎。

The researchers took SM to a haunted house, and she laughed at the scary parts and blithely made the monster-suited employees jump. She was shown clips from famous horror films like "The Silence of Lambs" and "Halloween," and she showed no flickers of fright.

研究人员把SM带到鬼屋，她却冲着可怕的地方大笑，还快活地让穿着怪物服装的工作人员乱跳不已。给她看著名的恐怖片像《沉默的羔羊》和《万圣节》的电影剪辑时，她都没有表现出丝毫的恐惧感。

This fearlessness may be fine in the safety of ones living room, but it turns out that SM makes her own horror films in real life. She walks through bad neighborhoods alone at night, approaches shady strangers without guile, and has been repeatedly threatened with death.

这种大无畏也许在一个人的客厅里面是安全的，但是事实证明，SM在现实生活中制造了她自己的恐怖电影。她晚上独自一人穿过其恶邻的屋子，毫不保留地接近名声不好的陌生人，并以多次受到死亡的威胁。

"We have an individual whos constantly putting herself into harms way," said Mr. Feinstein. "If we had a million SMs walking around, the world would be a total mess."

"这里我们看到了一个不断将自己置身于伤害方式的个体"，范士丹先生说："如果我们周围有一百万个SM在游荡的话，整个世界都将变得一团糟"。

The bad calls would keep coming, and the rocking chairs never stop.

捣蛋鬼电话仍在不断打进来，而摇摇椅则永远也不会停止摇摆。

In the human growth process, will experience a lot of things: success, failure ... ... I seem to grow very common experience, however, that the failure made me a benefit for life, want to know why? I still listen to it carefully Road Come on!

Today, the math teacher to his tone has always been tough for us to talk about yesterdays test. I got the test paper, looked at the score, red, my tears almost to flow out, "70" points, my God! You know, Ive never had such a low test scores, Moreover, or math! Topic teacher on the stage, came under the rustling of error correction, my hands are moving, can not the brain is actually sad. Gomi knocked over my heart like a bottle, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, together came to my mind.

Dark clouds out the window, my heart has long been raining cats and dogs, God seemed to sympathize with me, and finally, the teacher announced that school, I still wood

Ran just sat there, gave me a shot at the same table, "how not walking up?" "You go first!" I bitter to say that, while his heart was sad. Teachers in the empty I only heard sobbing.

Walking, walking, I suddenly felt slipped and then fell to the ground was a mud pit! Passers-by from time to time will react, "you say that this young man ... ..." "hey! Not be saved ... ..." I heard these words, my heart is not a taste of.

在人的成长过程中，会经历到许多的事情：成功、失败……我的成长经历似乎也很平常，但是，那一次的失败却让我受益终身，想知道是为什么吗?那还是听我细细道来吧!

今天，数学老师以他那素来严厉的语气，为我们讲昨天的考试。我拿到卷子，看着上面那鲜红的分数，我的眼泪差一点就流了出来，“70”分，天哪!要知道，我从来没有考过这么低的分数，况且还是数学!老师在台上讲题，底下传来改错的沙沙声，我的手也在动，可脑子里却是不尽的悲哀。我心里像打翻了五味瓶，酸、甜、苦、辣、咸，一齐涌上我的心头。

窗外乌云密布，我的心里早已下着倾盆大雨，老天好像也很同情我似的，终于，老师宣布放学，我却还木

然的呆坐在那里，同桌拍了我一下，“怎么还不走呀?”“你先走吧!”我苦涩的说出这句话，心里却是一阵伤感。空荡荡的教师里只听到我的抽泣声。

当我拿起书包，慢慢地走出教室时，教室外已经是大雨倾盆了。我慢慢地走进雨雾中，大雨顿时包围了我，却一点也没有感觉到，直到我停止了哭泣，才发现自己已经成了一个“雨人”。走着，走着，我突然觉得脚下一滑，然后就摔在了地上还是一个泥坑!路人也不时的指指点点，“你说现在这年轻人……”“哎!没救了……”我听着这些话，心里挺不是滋味的。

Everyone has the worry, as long as it keep up with you, will be like a shadow, difficult to wash. In four age, I met a trouble thing.

It is a language examination, test paper just hair down, Ill probably see it again, thought; Ha, so easy, this time must have high marks. I quickly began to do, for a while, just finished. Immediately to the teacher, the paper went to playing on the playground.

The next day, when the teacher came into the classroom with paper started reading scores, I am confident of listen, because I believe that I can test good. Can read my grades, I froze, because I was only 865 points. I havent the reaction come over, listen to the teacher said to bring performance to parents signature. Then, the teacher began to speak the examination paper, I have no mind to listen to, my mind thinking; How back to mom. After school, on the car, I still want to; Exactly what to do. Out of the car and I walked with heavy steps, walking slowly home.

At home, I quickly rushed to his room and picked up the paper again and looked again to see, want to deceive the past. But want to; Exactly what to do. Somehow, I suddenly think of a word from the mother said to me on weekdays; Failure is the mother of success. I finally plucked up the courage, to my moms room.

Experience this trouble things, I finally understood; Trouble is only a false tiger, as long as you have courage, again big problems can be overcome.

每个人都有烦恼，只要它跟上你，就会像影子一样，难以挥去。在四年纪的时候，我就遇到了一件烦恼的事。

那是一次语文考试，试卷刚发下来时，我大概看了一遍，心想;哈，这么容易，这回肯定得高分。我急忙开始做，一会儿，就做完了。马上把试卷交给老师，便到操场上玩了。

第二天，老师拿着试卷走进教室开始念成绩时，我自信的听着，因为我相信我能考好。可念到我的成绩时，我呆住了，因为我竟然只得了865分。我还没反应过来，就听老师说要把成绩拿给家长签名。接着，老师开始讲试卷，我根本没有心思听，脑子里在想;回去怎么向妈妈交代。放学了，上了车，我还在想;到底该怎么办。下了车，我迈着沉重的步子，慢慢地走回家。

回到家，我赶忙冲到自己的房间，再一次拿起卷子，看了又看，想瞒过去。可又想;到底该怎么办。不知怎么的，我突然想起妈妈平日对我说的一句话;失败是成功之母。我终于鼓起勇气，向妈妈的房间走去。

经历了这件烦恼的事，我终于明白了;烦恼只不过是只假老虎，只要你有勇气，再大的烦恼也可以战胜。

How times flies! Now I am a student in Grade Nine and facing the first turning point in my school life. This title “Growing pains and gains” reminds me of the meaningful school life. The colourful life is full of my happineand sorrows.

In school, I have to take a lot of lessons. Some are interesting while some are boring. But it’s the responsibility of the students to learn them all well. I have to try my best. During my growing time, a lot of trouble worried me. That’s awful and makes me blue.

Although I met with a lot of failure, I still have a lot of gains. I can make a pricelefriendship. I can learn a large number of useful things---to be kind, friendly to others, to be confident and independent and so on.

In the matter of courage we all have our limits. There never was a hero who did not have his bounds. I suppose it may be said of Nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

I have found mine a good many times. Sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. I know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. I should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. If I attempt to talk across a room I find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods I have part of the audience behind me. You ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.

有一件事让我成长了不少：我有一个毛病，本子用了一大半，就不要了。上了四年学，不知不觉作业就用去了一大堆本子。对于一本本被淘汰的本子，我没有一丝可惜之情，新的代替旧的，这是理所当然的嘛。

One thing I grew up a lot: I have a problem, the book spent more than half of it. On four years of learning, unconsciously, used a lot of books. For a book out of the book, I have no trace of pity, the new instead of the old, this is a matter of course.

有一天，陈老师上我把上学期的作业本整理好全部交给她。没过几天，本子便还给了我。回到家里，我仔细翻阅着作业本，突然，我看见了几本空白的本子，莫非是我自己太慌，把新本子也放进去了吗?但是，我明明记得我没有放新本子呀!我真解不开这个谜。于是我把这件事情告诉了爸爸。爸爸看了这个不知从哪里来的本子。又看看被淘汰的本子，说：“这些新本子是老师用你没有用完的纸，给你订的。”我听了爸爸的话，我恍然大悟了。

One day, Chen put on my last semesters homework book and gave it to her. Not a few days later, the book was returned to me. When I got home, I looked through my homework book. Suddenly, I saw some blank books. Could it be that I was too scared and put my new book in? But I remember I didnt put my new book on! I cant puzzle out the mystery. So I told my dad about it. Dad looked at the book that I didnt know where to come from. Look at the books that have been knocked out, and say, "these new books are for you with the paper you havent used up."." When I heard what my father said, I suddenly realized.

老师的行动深深地教育了我，于是，我把过去用过的本子都找来，把后面没写完的纸撕了下来，订了好几十本本子，从此，我养成了节约本子的好习惯。就是这件事让我成长了不少。

The teachers action deeply my education, so I had been using the book to come back, did not finish the paper tore down, ordered dozens of book, from now on, I develop a good habit of saving. Thats what made me grow a lot.

Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a

growth. If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up

along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future,

however that’s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future

holds for me.

When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all

starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a

fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind,

intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect

job.

Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget

which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my

personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I

will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I

really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will

perfection and happy in the future.

生活是一杯清茶，没有电影里的凄美没有小说里的浪漫，没有歌曲里的柔情，没有诗歌里的豪迈，但它需要你脚踏实地的实践；生活是一张答卷，没有具体的题目，没有严格的要求，但它需要你用心灵深处的真去回答。

一次，我第一次外出去南京表演，我登上舞台，心中充满了恐惧。

我，一直都是个胆小的人，尽管父母怎么鼓励我，但到头来一切还是空的。我在后台对老师说：“老师，我可以不上台吗？我实在是太紧张了。”说着，我便哭了起来，还好那时还没有化妆，不然整个脸就糊了，我跑到观众席，找到了自己的父母，又哭了起来。外婆问：“怎么了？不敢上台？”我抱着外婆点了点头，外婆用温柔的口吻对我这个不懂事的小孩说：“别伤心，也别胆小，你已经长大了，心中必须要勇敢，你必须让我们看见你的成长。”外婆用纸擦了擦我的脸蛋，我跑回了后台，回后台之后，我就对老师说：“老师，可以化妆了！”老师用惊诧的眼光看了看我，点点头。

表演开始了，我还是像以前那样胆小，但是我想起了外婆对我说的话。没错，我必须承认我已经长大了，我微笑的看了看外婆，外婆也坚定的看了看我，我跳着舞，慢慢的，我已经完全进入了歌舞欢乐之中……

生活中，没有一个人是一帆风顺的，我们都要经过许许多多的困难和挫折，才能让我们慢慢成长起来。
