给小偷的一封信10篇 写给某某的信英文(实用19篇)

13.Stronger Than You Know

Getting Ourselves Worked Up

Our capacity to cope successfully with lifes challenges far outstrips our capacity to feel nervousness. Yet in the weeks, days, and hours leading up to an event that we believe will test our limits, we can become nervous. While we may have previously regarded ourselves as equal to the trials that lie ahead, we reach a point at which they near and our anxiety begins to mount. We then become increasingly worked up, until the moment of truth arrives and we discover that our worry was all for nothing. We are almost always stronger and more capable than we believe ourselves to be. But anxiety is not rational in nature, which means that in most cases we cannot work through it using logic as our only tool. Reason can help us recognize the relative futility of unwarranted worry but, more often than not, we will find more comfort in patterns of thought and activity that redirect our attention to practical or engaging matters.

Most of us find it remarkably difficult to focus on two distinct thoughts or emotions at once, and we can use this natural human limitation to our advantage when trying to stay centered in the period leading up to a potentially tricky experience. When we concentrate on something unrelated to our worryuch as deep breathing, visualizations of success, pleasurable pursuits, or exercisenxiety dissipates naturally. Meditation is also a useful coping mechanism as it provides us with a means to ground ourselves in the moment. Our guides can aid us by providing us with a focal point wholly outside of our own sphere.

嘿，朋友，你遇见过小偷吗？如果有这样惊险的经历，你当时的心情是怎样的呢？这不，前几天，我和妈妈去重庆复查，就在火车上遇见了这样一位小偷。

那时候人潮十分拥挤，我和妈妈费劲了九牛二虎之力才挤上车，找到座位，哈哈，就在车头。于是，我舒服地坐下来，正准备好好休息一下，一个贼头贼脑、眼神闪烁的年轻人进入了我的眼帘。他似乎是没有座位，两只手看似随意地插在裤带里，眼神却始终在四下打量着。

我拉拉妈妈的衣服，说明了自己的猜测。妈妈示意我不要声张，静观其变。我继续潜伏在暗处，拿起一本书掩护自己，一边用眼角的余光去观察那个年轻人。事实证明了我的猜测，他果然是一个心术不正的小偷。

他的第一个目标是一位妇女，那妇女坐在走廊边，手机就放在大衣袋子里。车厢内人很多，小偷很快潜伏到了妇女身边。他的两只手指伸了出来，神不知鬼不觉地探进了那妇女的衣袋。我一时情急，猛地踢倒了一旁的铁皮垃圾桶，巨大的声响让那年轻人的浑身一哆嗦。阿姨的手机安全了。我继续隐藏自己。

那小偷果然不会善罢甘休，很快，他又找到了新的目标，那是一位年过花甲的老人，衣着朴素，身旁堆着好几个布包，而老爷爷却将钱包放在了马大褂里。小偷眼底闪过一丝狡猾，很快溜到了老爷爷身边。那老爷爷一看就不是什么有钱人，小偷却还如此狠心，真是太过分了！我赶紧想对策，用刚才声东击西的方法肯定是行不通了，我决定以身试险。

就在小偷即将得手的时候，我一个箭步窜上前去，装作认识老爷爷的样子，兴奋地大喊一声：“刘爷爷！”老爷爷的身躯动了动，年轻人的计划再次落空，缩回了手。“小姑娘，你认错人了吧！”“对不起老爷爷。”我道了歉，回到座位上，心里甜甜的。

想到这次靠着自己的机智两次击败了小偷，我就感觉到满满的自豪。

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak.With her eyes,she observed my mood,gave me courage and made me strong.Therefore,I could face difficulties.

When I was a baby learning to walk,my mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to get up while I fell down.

As I finally threw myself into her arms,her eyes smiled with praise.Later as I grew up,I met with more difficulties.But whenever I was frustrated,my mothers eyes always gave me hope and encouragement.Once I failed in exams,my mother encouraged me to find out the reasons.

Instead of blaming me she pushed me to do better.At last I overcame the difficulty.Now I have grown up and become more independent,but whenever I come across setbacks,my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

Dear Sir,

I understand your well-respected college offers a number of places to

overseas students every year, and I am writing to enquire about the application

procedure.

I am at present a student at Mary High School, Hong Kong, where I have been

studying for the past five years. I passed the Hong Kong Certificate of

Education Examination last year with distinctions in English and History, and

credits in Economics and English Literature. My advanced-level subjects are

History, Economics and English Literature. In addition to these subjects, "Use

of English" is also a compulsory subject because a pass in English is a minimum

requirement for admission to most faculties of the University of Hong Kong.

Apart from academic work, I have been actively involved in extra-curricular

activities. I am Chairman of the English Club and I have represented my school

in many inter-school contests.

On the advice of my friends, I have decided to further my studies in

England because I wish to widen my horizons and benefit from the scholarly

heritage of your country.

I wish to continue to study the above-mentioned subjects at your college in

the 2006/7 academic year before I sit the Advanced-level Examinations in

England.

As regards my character, Mrs. Chen, my Principal, and Mr. Huang, my English

master, have agreed to act as my references.

As I come from a family of fairly limited means, I would like to know if

there is any financial assistance available for overseas students.

Attached is a summary of my qualifications for your reference.

I should be grateful if you would kindly consider my application and notify

me of the result at your earliest convenience.

Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact me

or my references.

Yours faithfully,

Lily Chen

Dear Mr. Wang,

Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA (Maywood Chinese Education Association). Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.

Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest. Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.

Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.

Yours sincerely,

George Chen

The Cobbler and the Banker

By La Fontaine

A cobbler passed his time in singing from morning till night;it was wonderful to see,wonderful to hear him;he was more contented in shoes,than was any of the seven sages.His neighbor,on the contrary,who was rolling in wealth,sung but little and slept less.He was a banker;when by chance he fell into a doze at day-break,the cobbler 12 awoke him with his song.The banker complained sadly that Providence had not made sleep a saleable commodity,like edibles or drinkables.

Having at length sent for the songster,he said to him,

"How much a year do you earn,Master Gregory?"

"How much a year,sir?"said the merry cobbler laughing,"I have reckon in that way,living as I do from one day to another;somehow I manage to reach the end of the year;each day brings its meal."

"Well then!How much a day do you earn,my friend?"

"Sometimes more,sometimes less;but the worst of it is,-and,without that our earnings would be very tolerable, a number of days occur in the year on which we are forbidden to work;and the curate,moreover,is constantly adding some new saint to the list.

The banker,laughing at his simplicity,said,"In the future I shall place you above want.Take this hundred crowns,preserve them carefully,and make use of them in time of need."

The cobbler fancied he beheld all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past century for the use of mankind.Returning home,he buried his money and his happiness at the same time,No more singin;he lost his voice,the moment he acquired that which is the source of so much grief.Sleep quitted his dwelling; and cares,suspicions,and false alarms took its place,All day,his eye wandered in the direction of his treasure;and at night,if some stray cat made a noise,the cat was robbing him.

At length the poor man ran to the house of his rich neighbor;"Give my back." said he,"sleep and my voice,and take your hundred crowns."

皮匠和银行家

拉.封丹

一个皮匠从早到晚在唱歌中度过。无论见到他本人或听见他的歌声都使人觉得很愉快。他对于制鞋工作比当上了希腊七圣还要满足。

于工作把他吵醒了。银行家郁郁寡欢地抱怨上帝没有睡眠也制成一种像食品或饮料那样可以买卖的商品。后来，银行家就叫人把这位 歌手请来，问道：“格列戈里师傅，你一年赚多少钱?”

“先生，你问我一年赚多少钱吗?”快乐的皮匠笑道：“我从来不算这笔帐，我是一天一天地过日子，总而言之坚持到年底，每天挣足三餐。”

“啊，朋友，那么你一天赚多少钱呢?”

“有时多一点，有时少一点;不过最糟糕的是一年中总有些日子不准我们做买卖，牧师又常常在圣徒名单上添新名字，否则我们的收入也还算不错的。”

银行家被皮匠的直率逗笑了，他说：“我要你从今以后不愁没钱用。这一百枚钱你拿去，小心放好，需要时拿来用吧。” 皮匠觉自己好像看到了过去几百年来大地为人类所需而制造出来的全部财富。他回到家中，埋藏好硬币，同时也埋葬了他的快乐。他不再唱歌了;从他得到这种痛苦的根源那一刻起，他的嗓子就哑了。睡眠与他分手;取而代之的却是担心、怀疑、虚惊。白天，他的 目光尽朝埋藏硬币的方向望;夜间，如果有只迷途的猫弄出一点声响，他就以为是有人来抢他的钱。最后，这个可怜的皮匠跑到他那富有的邻居家里说：“把你的一百枚钱拿回去，还我的睡眠和歌声来。”

一天，小偷被人追赶，他跑进一个小巷，跳进一座老宅。老宅很大，很静，也很荒凉。正当他想该藏在什么地方时，一个柔弱的声音在他身后响起：“你是谁呀，你找谁？”小偷吓了一跳，转身一看，只见一个少女正睁着一双大眼睛盯着他问呢。

“砰”院外传来急促的敲门声，小偷的脸都吓白了。

少女一把抓住小偷的手，拉着他来到门口，打开了门，一群人闯了进来。

“你看见一个小偷进来了吗？”

“没有呀”。

“我和我男朋友在院子里,没见到什么小偷呀”少女一脸天真的样子。

为首的男子仔细打量了少女，看她不像是在说谎。但他的目光却紧紧地盯着小偷。

“他是你男朋友？”

“那还有假？”少女说着，把身子靠在小偷身上。

那些人看没什么异样，就都走了。

“你，你为什么帮我？”小偷不解地望着少女。

“你一定由你自己的苦衷，谁都不是天生就想作小偷的”。

居然有人会为小偷辩护，小偷不禁又仔细地打量了一下少女，她不像一个脑子有问题的人。

“你坐一会吧，他们估计还没走远”。少女居然邀请他坐一会。

“就你一个人在这？”

“是的，我家不在这儿，房子是我外祖父留下来的”。少女伤感地说。“我身体又不好，很少外出的，你能常来陪我吗？”

“好吧”小偷犹豫一下答应了。

以后的日子里，小偷没事就去老宅陪少女。他后来才知道她患的是尿毒症，虽然是早期，但那却是个令人心惊胆寒的绝症啊！他能作是只是抽时间陪她，给她讲外面的世界，小偷的出现让少女黑白的世界变得多彩起来，她每天都盼望他的出现。

这年情人节，小偷带着一朵玫瑰出现在少女面前，向她示爱。她虽然知道那天以后他再也没有偷过东西，但她却是身患绝症的人，怎么能接受他的爱呢。

每个情人节，小偷都会带来一朵玫瑰向她求爱。

日子一天天地过去，小偷一天天地消瘦。

一天，小偷惊喜地告诉少女，她有救了，他为她找到了肾脏。

这年情人节前夕，少女换肾手术的准备工作已就绪。这时少女才知道，她要换的是小偷的肾，他瘦的那么快是因为他每天不仅要卖，而且还要干很多重活，为的是早日凑够她的手术费用。

换肾手术非常成功，少女身体接受了小偷的肾，可小偷却因身体太弱而没能下手术台……

以后的每个情人节，小偷墓前都会有一朵玫瑰，并附着字条：永远爱你的妻！

[少女和小偷的故事小说作文

My dear:

This is the first time Ive ever sat at my computer and written to you so

late. I must have a reason for doing this.

Now I will tell you my feelings humbly, because I dont want to

misunderstand you easily. Today, I made our photo in my dorm room and set it as

a screensaver. I miss you, I want to tell you my happiness. But the answer you

gave me was truly astonishing.

Text messages dont come back, you can do that. I cant believe it. I dare

not connect you who are indifferent to me with you who are committed to me.

Who was the man lying beside me who came to see me the day before

yesterday?

Who left me yesterday and kissed me at the station?

Can you tell me?

I am angry. Why should I be angry? I am so happy. Waiting for your text

message, waiting for your call. I wait for you.

However, I came to a deep silence and your indifference.

Now the sisters in the bedroom are all asleep. But Im writing a letter.

Even if I hadnt written, I couldnt sleep. Because Im crying.

Am I sad? I dont know.

You know what? I think you lied to me.

Maybe you dont love me as much as you say.

To you, my existence is just the icing on the cake. You are more successful

and satisfied with me. Without me, your life will still be so wonderful. So, you

can be so cool, so cool.

When Im with you, treat me well. When Im not, treat me as if I dont

exist.

Maybe you should say youre busy. Busyness is relative. Youre busy during

the day. Youre busy at night, too. May I ask what you are doing? !

Can be busy to a message also reluctant to send it?

Look in your inbox and your outbox for yourself. You get the idea.

Darling, I want to love you well. Because I think you love me.

However, I am a selfish person.

If your love for me continues like this. Thats what youre going to end up

with.

Then you will know how I feel. Since ancient times is lost just know how to

cherish.

Im not gonna send you a text back. Im not taking a call from you. I

disappeared. Youll never find me again.

Please dont make me sad any more. My feelings for you are limited, and so

are my tears. I promised you I wouldnt break up with you again. So I wont

say.

Two days ago, I was very sad, but you came, I was dizzy with happiness, I

am happy, I am blindly happy.

But I didnt think this was just the beginning.

Im so tired!

I clearly feel your speechless and indifferent to me.

Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you spoil me?

I dont know.

If you love me, please prove it with your actions.

If you love me, please dont think once and for all.

If you spoil me, please dont keep your high profile.

Finally, Ill tell you. I am fragile, but I beg for your love. Although,

you say firmly, I leave you, I cant find, you love me so much.

But Ill tell you something. Even if later no one loves me, I do not want

to love you so humble.

Is love so cheap to you as entertainment in your spare time? Do you talk

with you when you are lonely?

I also have my business, however, I would like to separate out to miss you.

While youre busy. You a student so busy, I dare to expect you to work in the

future, will give me a phone call, a text message?

Are you looking for a wife? What do you think your wife does? Is it the toy

in your hand? In a good mood to tease! Busy just throw aside, do not ask.

What you have done and what you have promised is entwined in my heart,

making my heart ache. I began to ask myself, "Does he love me?"

If this is love, if this is love, if this is his model of love.

So, what do I do?

In my heart of hearts, I clearly know that people can not change for

someone, change is not this person.

So, I dont have any requirements, from then on, you can do whatever you

want, you can talk to me whenever you want.

Write here, you send me a message to say, we normal point love it!

I think its normal. But is our relationship normal?

What boyfriend can have you so arrogant, so high profile! Did you give me

the cold shoulder? Youre thinking, just leave it here and youll be fine.

Youll be your wife.

I love you?

Now I want to say, I hate you.

I hate your promises to me. I hate your love for me.

Honey, I tell you, Im angry, disappointed, sad, upset, and hate you.

You drive me crazy. Madness is followed by long apathy.

The opposite of love is indifference, not ruthlessness.

Youre gone, youre in your own city, youre completely different.

If there is any grievance in your heart, you say! If you think you dont

want to talk to me, go ahead! If you want to leave me, you say!

If you dont love me, you are brave to tell me. You have to trust in my

resilience. You say you do not love me, say a few more times I believe. Just

like you say you love me, say it more times and Ill believe it. I believe

you.

Ha ha...

I dont know why, Im heartbroken. This doesnt feel good. Because Im

afraid of heartache. In order not to heartache, I will run. Will choose habits

without you. Why, you make my heart ache? Im afraid of pain. What shall I do?

Is it true that only do not fall in love will not hurt?

Dont I have any other choice?

Your tone of voice to me, is I good for nothing, and then you pain, you

speechless. Is that hard for you when youre with me? My dear? ! Do you find it

so hard?

Do you feel so tired? Is it so hard to cheer me up? Is that whats

bothering you? Or am I too tough? Ha ha...

This is my letter to you. What shall I do in the future? I dont know.

But, I know, It hurts. I dont want to do anything. Dont give me any more

lessons. Too many people in the world are too self-righteous. Too many people

are poor teachers. I want a husband who loves me, not a university professor or

a government worker!

Even if you are Song Shiming, I am Seaweed. Song Shiming is not going to

talk about the financial crisis to Seaweed! And youre not really successful

yet!

Finally, I want to ask you, who am I to you, are you in the right

place?

Where do you go from here? !

Also: Happy Christmas Eve to you!

Good brother,

It has been some time since I read your letter. Have seen many times, in

the mind also has a lot of words to say, but... I never knew where to start. On

this Christmas Eve night, let me start with memories.

Dude, Im not a pushy girl. In your eyes, I am the little sister in your

memory. I am the single woman who was alone in a foreign country, weak in heart

but strong to face life. At that time, I was alone in the face of difficulties

in other countries, alone for life, simply for survival and struggle. At that

time, I had to be strong. Since my childhood, I have been a happy, carefree girl

around my parents. During those years in a foreign country, stress and

loneliness made me grow up. However, I am still not strong.

Eldest brother, I have benefited a lot from the four years suffering

abroad. I have learned a lot and grown up a lot. Maybe it is gods reward for

me. After coming back to China, my career, life, smooth and peaceful for a few

years. However, I am still lonely, many times, the heart is very bitter very

bitter, as when writing this letter, alone. The tears would flow when I

remembered the things I had buried in my heart.

Brother, I, too, want company. Want to take a persons hand, walk together

after the day, face this complex world together. Just want to be a little woman,

can take a persons hand, a person can be heart to heart, from now on, no matter

what things, all to face together.

These years, and brother has been out of touch. Always remember you once

said a sentence. Friends, is in the heart, no matter how no contact, no meeting.

But in my heart, I always remember having such a friend. Your love and care has

always been in my heart. I havent talked to you in depth for a long time, so

Ill go on.

The reason I have remained alone all these years is not because of the

conditions I set for my partner. I want a person, actually very simple. Ha ha,

big brother, dont laugh at me. I just want a little love.

In this day and age, all people will tell me that nothing is more illusory

than love. But I, still stubbornly looking forward to, there is a warm, real

person can appear.

I, however, is an ordinary woman, but also just want to live an ordinary

day. Fall in love with someone, then face life with him, work hard for the

future together, raise a child together.

Several times during the blind date, the plain man sitting opposite asked

me, what do you want from the man. A house? Income? Or a car. Can face such a

problem, I always cant speak, only smile, the heart of despair and pain began

to spread...

Brother, I am just a woman with a strong exterior and a soft heart. So,

now, what kind of person do you think I should accept at the time of blind date?

Im not asking for a strong man, as you say. I just want a gentle, understand

life, know love, know how to cherish people.

Life is short. You can let yourself, and live for yourself is even shorter.

But sometimes also want to do not cooperate with their parents so unfilial, will

also think, perhaps, marriage is a can not be so selfish thing, even if it is to

comfort their parents, also should let their marriage as soon as possible.

Xi an, the city we live in now. Old and elegant. Is the home that has been

on my mind when I was a vagabond. In the next year, I will continue to live in

this city in a down-to-earth way. I hope that there will be one person who can

fall in love with each other in a down-to-earth way. This is a Wish made on

Christmas Eve.

Miss ~ ~

Today, I came to the breakfast. See the lads with chopsticks busy busy. So

I took a seat, a young man walked to come over and ask me to eat something, so I

had a bowl of beef noodles peppers. Soon, a noodles. I take chopsticks, soon

finished eating. On the way to school, I also think that bowl noodles.

今天，我来到了早餐店。只见店里的伙计们端着碗筷忙来忙去。于是我找了一个位子坐下了，一位年轻的伙计走了过来，问我要吃点什么，于是我报了一碗青椒牛肉面。很快，一碗面就出来了。我拿上筷子，很快就吃完了。在去学校的路上，我还想着那碗好吃的面。

Mr Smith and his son Jim rent a boat from Mr Green. They find a very good place and catch a lot of fish. Now it is   late and they are going home.

Jim says, “I’ll come here again tomorrow.”

“Yes, me too.” say his father. “But how can we get      back and find the right place again?” “I can make a    mark   on the side of the boat.” Jim answers.

The father laughs and says, “No, that’s foolish! Mr Green won’t give us the same boat next time.”

【释义】

史密斯先生和他的儿子吉姆，从格林先生那里租了一条船。他们找到了一个非常好的地方并抓到了许多鱼。天色已经很晚了，他们要回家了。

吉姆说：“我明天还要再来这里。”

“是的，我也是。”他的父亲说。“但是我们怎么回来并找到正确的地方呢?”“我可以在船的一侧做个记号。”吉姆回答道。

父亲大笑说道：“不那太愚蠢了!格林先生下次不会给我们同一条船的。”

The day after tomorrow, that is, on __ 20. Is fathers day! You ready to

give dad what gift? As I give you advice?

Most of his father likes to stay up late at night watching the game, if you

also like me, is a small fan, then follow your father the old fans watching a

wonderful game!

If your dad doesnt like football, and the day is not at home, that you

will take advantage of this opportunity, your dads shoes, socks, clothes...

Take out all washing!

But if you do the coolie live, will help your dad to quit smoking! Not a

lifetime all dont let father smoking, but in this days, dont let father

smoking again, and said to him: "today is fathers day, you cant smoke, smoking

is harmful to health!"

Again, if your father is a do not smoke, drink, people who do not like

football, then you can help my father to reduce a little to work, if your father

is a man at night to write files or something, then you can help my father

rushed a cup of coffee or tea!

Anyway, fathers day, be sure to let dad healthy and happy!

So, my gift to good, are you prepared to on fathers day to dad what kind

of surprise?

小偷先生：

您好!

近来，我在新闻里看见了许多被诈骗的消息。显然，你们的生意很入门。我这次是想对你们说，不要再当小偷了，你们这样东躲西藏的日子既不光荣又不容易。我冒昧的想劝你们不要再偷东西了，请你们找个工作来做吧。别人辛辛苦苦赚来的钱也不容易，可就这样被你们偷了，也不觉得可惜吗?我知道你们也非常辛苦，又要养家，又要赚钱。可是你们再偷东西，经查找晚会抓住你，法官也早晚会给你判刑的，有时，法官还会判死刑。如果是这样，别人家庭不仅会毁了，你们的家庭也会应为失去顶梁柱而毁了。

如果你们是真的找不到工作的话，你们可以去帮别人，当清洁工。喔，我可以推荐几个地方，你可以去那儿帮忙：第一个是学府小学海文部对面的包子店，第二个是桂庙新村百姓渔村的服务员和售货员，第三个，也是最后一个，就是在海岸城当演员——演小偷，因为你本身就是个小偷嘛!

最后，祝你们找到工作!

祝：

早日找到工作，工作顺利!

My father is a typical man, who is not very talkative. When other fathers

say how much they love their children, my father just keep quiet. He barely says

sweet words to me. But he will never miss every important moment for me, like

the performance in school. He is always one of the audience and watch my

performance. My father tells me to study with passion and he sets the good

example for me, because he loves his work. Sometimes he shows me his design of

work, and I admire him. I know my father loves me so much. Though he doesnt

talk much, he will be right by my side whenever I need him.

Dear Dad,

Do you remember Christmas Eve a year ago? That night, I hung a red sock at

the bedside, in front of you, I closed my eyes and made a wish. When I open my

eyes, my first word is, "Dad, will Santa come?" You say, "It will come!" "Will

he always be with me?" I asked. You do not answer, but I see in your pupils a

little worry.

The next day, I found what I wanted in the red socks. When I held the socks

came to your front, your haggard face bloomed a happy smile, and I in your eyes

caught a trace of sadness.

In a twinkling of an eye, the world as if a lot of old, this years

December 24, Xi son to our home rehearsal program, you sent him away, I still

put the red socks -- or last years socks, hanging in my bedside. I asked you

the same question, "Dad, will Santa come?" "Yes," you replied. "Will he grow up

with me?" I asked. You still did not answer, I in your old face swept a trace of

sadness.

In fact, I already knew that there is no Such thing as Santa Claus. Last

year, the Santa Claus who gave me presents was you. Nevertheless, with a faint

hope, I asked you the same question I had asked you a year before, but I still

got your silent answer, and I understood everything.

This years Christmas Eve, "Santa Claus" or gave me a gift, But I happily

ran to you there, I suddenly heard you ask: "Son, do you like Santa Claus? I

dont know how to answer. I know its you, but can you give me that wish I had a

year ago? I inadvertently found a white hair on your head, my heart like knocked

over a bottle of taste, I have been in the quilt babble until eleven o

clock.

Dad, youre still the Santa I was a year ago, but you cant live up to my

wishes like the legend says Santa Claus can. I finally understand the sadness in

your eyes, and understand the suffering in your heart. Dad, youre an

"incompetent" Santa. I thought you were an ordinary person in the world. But

then I suddenly realized that all the fathers in the world are unqualified Santa

Claus and you are the greatest person in the world!

Dad, I love you!

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲，温斯顿·丘吉尔，在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画，当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年，任海军大臣的他，积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中，这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败，伤亡惨重，丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说：“我想他会痛苦而死，”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿，丘吉尔后来回忆道，“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我！”

一天他在花园散步时，偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟，然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法！

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来，克莱门廷非常开心，她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而，迈出下一步似乎有些困难，因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起，后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调，然后以万分的小心，在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时，传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀！’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢？给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅，她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨，在调色板上龙飞凤舞，接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时，约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居，也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生，拉威利说：“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政，我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中，丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后，在1921年，母亲刚去世两个月，他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德，这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下，温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰，用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说：“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流，背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉，达克迪莉（玛丽戈尔德的昵称）使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年，也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间，称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上，他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊，是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人，但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中，大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说：“画家其乐融融，因为他们不会孤独。光与色，和平与希望，会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。

There are many rules in our school.

From Monday to Friday，we have to get to school before 7：00 in the morning.

We must wear school uniforms，and I think it is good for us because uniforms can

make us look smart. We must listen to our teachers carefully in class and finish

our homework after school. We are not allowed to use mobile phones in class. I

think the rules are very strict but useful，and we should follow them. However，we

have so much homework that we have little free time to do what we love to

do.

In my opinion，we should have more free time to take part in all kinds of

activities and improve our abilities.
