元宵节英语作文高三(优秀19篇)

First Snow

The first fall of snow is not only an event but it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of world and wake up to find yourself in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment, then where is it to be found?

The very stealth, the eerie quietness, of the thing makes it more magical. Ifall the snow fell at once in one shattering crash, awakening us in the middle of the night the event would be robbed of its wonder. But it flutters down, soundless, hour after hour while we are asleep. Outside the closed curtains of the bedroom a vast transfbrmation scene is takiag place, just as if a myriad elves and brownies were at work, and we turn and yawn and stretch and know nothing about it. And then, what an extraordinary change it is! It is as if the house continent. Even the inside, which has not been touched, seems different, every room appearing smaller and cosier, just as if some power were trying to turn it into a woodcutter’s hut or a snug logcabin. Outside, where the garden was yesterday, there is now a white and glistening level, and the village beyond is no longer your own familiar cluster of roofs but a village in an old German fairy-tale.

You would not be surprised to learn that all the people there, the speetacled postmistress, the cobbler, the retired school master, and the rest, had suffered a change too and had become queer elvish beings, purveyors of invisible caps and magic shoes. You yourselves do not feel quite the same people you were yesterday. How could you not when so much has been changed? There is a curious stir, a little shiver of excite-ment, troubling the house, not unlike the feeling there is abroad when a journey has to be made. The children, of course, are all excitement but even the adults hang about and talk to one another longer than usual before setting down to the day’s work. Nobody can resist the windows. It is like being on board a ship.

[高三英语作文欣赏

probably more food is consumed during the new year celebrations than any other time of the year. vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.

on new years day, the chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai. although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.

other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity. the chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

in south china, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

in the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food. the tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household.

一位富翁和他儿子爱好收藏画，他们收藏了从毕加索到拉费奥等很多艺术品。常常他俩坐在一起欣赏着大师的作品。

when the vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. he was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. the father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

当越战爆发的时候，儿子投入了战争。他非常勇敢，在一次作战中因为抢救战友而牺牲了。父亲接到了通知，深深地哀恸他唯一的儿子。

about a month later, just before christmas, there was a knock at the door. a young man stood there with a large package in his hands. he said "sir, you dont

know me, but i am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. he saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the

heart and he died instantly. he often talked about you and your love for art.’’ the young man held out his package. "i know this isnt much. im really not a great artist, but i think your son would have wanted you to have this." the father opened the package. it was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man.

he stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. the father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes swelled up

with tears. he thanks the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. "oh no, sir, i could never repay what you son did for me. its a gift.

约一个月之后，正好是圣诞节前，门上传来敲门声。一位年轻人站在那里，手里拿着一个很大的包裹。他说道：“先生，你不认识我，我就是你儿子为了救我而牺牲的那个战士。那天他救了很多人，当他背着我走向安全地带的时候，一颗子弹击中了他的心脏，他顿时就牺牲了。他常常说起你和你对艺术的爱好，”年轻人举起他的包裹，“我知道这不算什么，我是真的不怎样的艺术家，但我想你儿子会要你保留这幅画的。”父亲打开了包裹，是他儿子的一幅肖像画，是这年轻人画的。他惊奇地注视着画中那士兵是如何捕捉到他儿子的个性的。父亲如此地被画里的眼睛吸引，他自己的眼睛也充满了泪水。他谢了那年轻人并提议买下这幅画。“噢，不要钱，先生，我永远不能偿还你儿子给我做的一切。这是礼物。”

the father hung the portrait over his mantle. every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

父亲把这肖像画挂在壁炉架上，每次有客人来他家拜访，他总是在给他们看他收藏的许多名作之前，先带他们看儿子的肖像。

the man died a few months later. there was to be a great auction of his great works of art. many people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and

having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection. on the platform sat the portrait of his son. the auctioneer pounded his gavel, "we will start with this portrait of the son. who will bid for this picture?

富翁在几个月之后死了。他的伟大收藏也将要被拍卖掉。许多人聚集着，为能一睹这些伟大的收藏以及能从他的收藏里买一个加入自己的收藏品这一机会而激动不已。在讲台上安置着那儿子的肖像画

there was silence. then a ! voice in the back of the room shouted "we want to see the famous paintings. skip this one."

场面非常安静。这时有一个声音在厅堂的后面叫道：“我们要看名画，跳过这一幅。”

but the auctioneer persisted, "will someone bid for this painting? who will start the bidding? $100, $200?"

但拍卖经纪人坚持着：“有没有人投这幅画的标?谁先开始?一百，两百?

another voice shouted angrily, "we didnt come here to see this painting. we came to see the van gohs, the rembrandts. get on with the real bids".

另外一个声音高喊着，非常愤怒：“我们不是来这里看这幅画的，我们是来看梵高的画，看伦伯朗的画的。快进入真正的竞标吧。”

but still the auctioneer continued, "the son! the son! who will take the son?" finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. it was the longtime

gardener of the man and his son. "ill give you $10 for the painting." being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

但拍卖经纪人依旧继续着：“儿子，儿子，谁要这儿子?”终于，一个声音从厅堂的深处传来：“我出十块钱要这画。”因为穷，这是他力所能及的价钱。

"we have $10, who will bid $20??"

"give it to him for $10. lets see the masters".

”

"$10 is the bid, wont someone bid $20?"

“有人标了十块，有谁肯标二十的吗?”

“十块给他吧，让我们看名作。

“标价十块，没有人标二十的吗?”

the crowd was becoming angry. they didnt want the picture of the son. they wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

the auctioneer pounded his gavel. "going once, twice, sold for $10!"

a man sitting in the second row shouted, "now lets get on with the collection!

the auctioneer laid down his gavel "im sorry, the auction is over".

”

"what about the paintings?"

人群开始愤怒起来。他们不想要这儿子的画。他们要收藏的是更值得投资的东西。

拍卖经纪人敲打着槌子：“一次竞标，两次竞标，十块得标!”

一位坐在第二排的人喊道：“现在让我们开始进入收藏品的竞标。”

那拍卖经纪人放下他的槌子说：“很抱歉，竞标已经结束了。”

“那些收藏品怎么办?”

"im sorry, when i was called to conduct this auction, i was told of a secret stipulation in the will. i was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this

time. only the painting of the son would be auctioned. whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings. the man who took the son, gets everything!"

“对不起，当我被叫来负责这场拍卖的时候，我被告知那人的遗嘱中有秘密的约定，一直到现在我是不允许暴露这个秘密的。只有儿子这幅画是要拍卖的。谁买了这幅画谁就继承整个遗产，包括这幅画。那个男人拿了儿子肖像，得到了一切。”

god gave his son 2000 years ago to die on the cruel cross. much like the auctioneer, his message today is "the son, the son, wholl take the son?" because, you see, whoever takes the son gets everything.

上帝在2000年以前给他的儿子在残酷的十字架上受死。和这经纪人非常相似，他今天的福音是：“儿子，儿子，谁承受这个儿子?”因为，你看，谁接纳儿子谁就获得一切。

元宵节，这个节日自从西汉时期便以受到重视，汉魏之后，便成为民间的习俗，人们沿袭着几百年来的传统，——赏花灯、猜灯谜、舞龙、舞狮、扭大秧歌，热闹极了，随着现在科技的发展又形成一个新的民俗——赏烟花。

走出了花街，我的目光又凝聚在天上的烟花上面，犹如即将开放的花雹，突然开放，散下一片片花蕊。到处都是开放的花朵，犹如春梅争芳，含雹怒放。

今天热闹的气愤，也让我感受到了虽然年过去了，但这元宵夜却比大年夜还会。热闹。

一年一度的元宵节开始了。虽然我们必须上学，但班上似乎也暖洋洋的。下午，我们班破例召开了猜灯谜活动，但我对这些活动兴趣一般，因为我等着晚上……

终于熬到了晚上，天已经完全黑下，外面不时传来鞭炮和礼花声，天上一朵朵“花”争着开放，看，又一个大的礼花点燃了，“嗖”的一声第一发礼花冲向黑黑的夜空，随着“咚”的一声一朵绚丽的菊花开放在空中，紧接着一朵又一朵的礼花在黑夜中绽放，有红的，像牡丹;也有白的，是梨花;还有红白相间的礼花，更是美上加美。他们的形状也各不相同：有的像足球;有的像鸡蛋;甚至有的商家为了生意，还把自己的商标做成礼花，我就看到了一个三菱标志的礼花，我心想：现在的科技真高级，连礼花都能做成这样!

过了一会儿，礼花停了。可是声音却没停，因为我们听到了一种沙沙的声音，好像流星雨一样，正在我们仰头观望的时候，一些碎碎的、五颜六色的纸屑落在了我们的头上身上，我们叫着、笑着、躲着……

这个元宵节既有趣又充实，让我自己的心情又一次进入了高潮，真美呀!在阵阵鞭炮和礼花声中，我甜甜的睡了。

Many years ago, as the development of technology, robot was created to facilitate peoples work. Robot can do many things for men, like it will accept the order and then carry out it. The most obvious advantage of robot is to caculate very quickly. As robot gets improved all the time, its functions have been largely expanded, most people worry that it will take the place of human brains. Many movies have explored this topic and they came to the conclusion that robot will not take the place of human being. One thing for sure is that men cant compete with robot on caculating or the computer program, but robot has no feelings, it cant be the real person. Even it looks like a man, still it is just the machine. It is the emotion that makes the difference between man and machine.

许多年前，随着技术的发展，机器人被创造出来，以方便人们的工作。机器人可以为人类做许多事情，比如它会接受命令，然后执行。机器人最明显的优点是计算速度非常快。随着机器人得到不断改进，它的功能在很大程度上扩大了，大多数人担心它会取代人类的大脑。许多电影都探讨了这个话题，他们得出结论，机器人不会取代人类的位置。有一点可以肯定的是，在计算和电脑程序方面人类无法和机器人竞争，但是机器人没有感情，不可能是真正的人。即使它看起来像一个人，它仍然只是机器。情感是区分人与机器的界限。

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 .”

She said, square dancing can make her forget her own problems and stay in good health. As to my father, his hobby is watching football games on TV. Among all my hobbies, the favorite one is reading. When I was a little girl, I love reading comic books. When I m getting old, I love fiction very much. I have so much fun from reading them. My favorite fiction is Pride and Prejudice. It not only provides knowledge, but also teaches us the right attitude toward life. I think reading makes my life complete. I will keep on reading. That s my favorite hobby.

每个人都有自己的兴趣爱好。爱好不仅让我们的生活变得丰富多彩，也给予了我们诸多好处。爱好有助于我们在长时间的工作后得到放松，还为退休的人们提供各种各样的活动。就我妈妈来说，她最大的兴趣爱好就是晚饭之后去跳广场舞。她说，广场舞让她忘记了自己的烦恼，保持身体健康。至于我爸爸，他最喜欢看足球比赛。就我自己来说，在我所以的爱好里面，我最喜欢的就是阅读小说。当我还是个小女孩的时候，我很喜欢看动漫。长大一点的时候，我爱上了小说。看小说充满了乐趣。我最喜爱的小说是《傲慢与偏见》。它不仅教给了我很多知识，也让我对人生有了个正确的态度。阅读使我的生活变得完整，我会一直读下去，因为这是我的爱好所在。

[:面对困难高三英语作文中英对译

The Festival of Lanterns takes place at the end of the Chinese New Year Celebration, on the fifteenth day of the first moon. Lanterns have been part of Chinese life for centuries so its not surprising to see a festival of lanterns.

People usually hang lanterns in the gardens, outside the houses, and on the boats. These lanterns are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to the Lunar celebration. After a sumptuous fifteen-day feast, these lanterns light the way for the spirits back to the world beyond.

Silk, paper and plastic lanterns vary in shape and size and are usually multi-colored. Some are in the shapes of butterflies, birds, flowers, and boats. Other are shaped like dragon, fruit and animal symbols of that year. The most popular type of lantern is the horse-racing one, in which figures or animals rotate around the vertical axis of the lantern.

The special food for the Lantern Festival is Yuen Sin or Tong Yuen. These are round dumplings made with sticky rice flour. They can be filled and served as a sweet snack or made plain and cooked in a soup with vegetables, meat and dried shrimp. The round shape of the dumpling is a symbol of wholeness, completeness and unity.

The Lantern Festival is an occasion for families to get together and for everyone--young, old, rich and poor to have fun.

Every Tuesday and Friday evening sees Miss Li，my neighbor and a secretary in a company rush home after a hard day’s work，gulp down her meals and then hurry out to catch the bus for her English class. Miss Li’s case is not unique，and now more and more city adults spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves at school or college.

There are a number of reasons for people to go back for their education. Some people，like Miss Li，are doing it to acquire another degree or diploma to impress the society. To them more knowledge，or rather，more credentials means more opportunities for better jobs and quicker promotion.

Other people，especially those who are laid off or out of employment go to vocational school to prepare to return to the job market. They are eager for new skills so that they can be qualified for the jobs in retail trade，administration，education and other service categories to which they are strange because most of them were blue-collar workers in the factory.

There are also people who come to take such courses as Chinese traditional medicine，painting，calligraphy and photography. As their working weeks decline people begin to have time to fulfill their old dream of their heart’s desire.

Out of necessity or out of interest，people go back to school for the common goal——to improve themselves，and this boom in adult education，in turn，helps to raise the intellectual standard of the whole country.

There have been many environmental protection problems in recent years . One of the most serious problem is greenhouse gas emissions have caused climate change ,At the same time ,lots of trees have been used and wasted.So our earth is becoming warmer and warmer . .That brings us illnesses and death.

Luckily ，,many countries have done a lot to stop environmental pollution。Its the most important in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion ,on the one hand ,through education we should make people realize that destroying the environment means destroying ourselves,..On the other hand ,we should try to do something to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

In a word .we must develop low-carbon economy

现在这些年已经有很多关于保护环境的问题。其中最严重的一个问题就是温室气体排放已经造成了气候改变。同时，很多树木被砍伐掉了，而且大量别的资源已经被用完或者浪费。所以我们的地球变得越来越温暖(热)。这样带给我们的是疾病和死亡。。

幸运的是，很多国家已经采取了很多措施来控制环境污染问题。如今，这是最重要保护环境的措施。

我认为，一方面，虽然教育我们应该让人们意识到破坏环境就是伤害人类自己。另一方面，我们应该尽力做一些事情来控制温室气体增长。

总之，我们必须发展低碳经济。

Chinese people usually have two word or three word names: the family name, a middle name and the last name.中国人的名字通常由两个字或三个字组成：姓，中间名和最后名。

Family names always come tirst.For example, my full name is Bai Junwei.Bai is my family name. Junwei is my given name.But some Chinese people dont have the middle name. For example, a man called Zhou Jian. Zhou is his family name,and Jian is his given name.姓要放在第一位。例如：我的全名叫白君伟。白是我的姓，君伟是我的名。但有些中国人没有中间的名，例如：一个人叫周健，周是他的姓，健是他的名。

People often use Mr. , Mrs. , or Miss before their family names, but never before.their given names.So you can say "Mr. Zhou", but you could never say "Mr.Jian".人们经常在他姓的后面使用先生、夫人、小姐，但此种说法从不在名字后面使用。所以你能说“周先生”，而不能说“健先生”。

Chinese names are different from English names.In England, the last name is the family name. The first and the middle name is tile given name.For example,there is a man called Jim Henry Brown. Brown is his family name. Jim Henry is his given name.Another difference between~ E.nglish and Chinese names is that in China, the younger peoples names shouldnt be the same as the elders in the family.For example, my grandpas name is Guo Dong, so i cant be called Guo Dong again.This shows that we respect the old people.中国人的名字与英国人的名字不同。在英国，最后一个字是姓，第一个和第二个是名字。例如：有个人叫Jim HenryBrown，Brown是他的姓，JimHenry是他的名字。英文和中文名字的另一个不同之处是：在中国，年轻人一般不能取和老人一样的名字。例如：我的外公叫郭冬，而我不能再叫郭冬，这是对老人的尊重。

In the family, people usually call me Weiwei for short. This is because it is shorter and easier than Bai Junwei, and it also they love me.In one word, Chinese names are quite different from English names.在家里，大人通常简称我伟伟，这是因为这比白君伟短并且容易叫，也显示出了他们对我的疼爱之情。总之，中国人的姓名表示法与英国人不同。

正月十五元宵节，其乐融融闹花灯，喜气洋洋猜灯谜。这一天，我和妈妈吃过热腾腾的山粉糊，就来到塔苑参加元宵灯谜会。

虽然天气很冷，还下着淅淅沥沥的小雨，但是这里可真热闹!里面张灯结彩，十分漂亮。一盏盏六角宫灯挂在古色古香的廊檐下，每面都用毛笔字写着一条谜语。人们在灯下来来往往，川流不息，不断的抬起头，冲着灯指指点点。灯亮亮的，把人们的脸也照得红彤彤、喜洋洋的。四边墙上自上而下，整整齐齐地挂着五颜六色的纸条，上面也写着很多各式各样的谜语。

面对这么多谜语，很多人都拿着对谜卷，手里攥着笔，细细地边看边思考。有的人眉头紧锁，有的人笑容满面，一副信心满满的样子，还有的人拿着手机拼命地在网上查寻……小朋友们性子急，一猜出来就大喜过望，手舞足蹈，欢叫着、蹦跳着往对谜处狂奔。你看那边，一位带着老花镜的爷爷，正对着一条谜语若有所思，手里还捧着一本厚厚的书，看一看，想一想，翻一翻，一副很有耐心的样子……我在人群里还看到了许多班里的同学，大家齐心协力，努力思考，但个个谜语都使我们晕头转向，好不容易猜出一个喜出望外，直奔对谜处排队，但结果不是答错了，就是被人抢先了。最后还是爸爸妈妈们见多识广，猜中了好几个。但是，我们一点也不灰心，还是开开心心、说说笑笑地继续作战。

红红火火的元宵节过去，中国人的新年也就过完了，我们又将投入紧张的学习生活。参加了这场灯谜会，我更加明白自己的学识是多么浅薄。我一定要更加努力地学习，等我们学到了更多的知识，也一定能猜中好多谜语!

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.
