我的老师英语作文10句带翻译（精品20篇）

Dear Jim,

亲爱的吉姆，

Last Sunday my classmates and I went to Xiangshan Park.

上周日我和我的同学去了香山公园。

We met at 7 oclock at the school gate. The weather in Beijing that day was great. At around 8 oclock, we arrived at Xiangshan Park. There is a high tree on the bottom of the hill. We had a party and played games under the tree. Then we climbed to the top of Xiangshan Mountain. It was not very difficult for us to do it. Next, we had lunch at the top of the hill. It was delicious. After lunch, we saw some birds. They were friendly. And we saw a whole picture of Beijing. "What a beautiful city!" I said. At that moment, we all felt so proud. I live in Beijing now. The 2008 Olympic games was held here.

我们七点在校门口集合。那天北京的天气很好。八点左右，我们就抵达香山公园。在山脚下有一棵高高的树。我们在树下开了一个聚会，玩游戏。然后我们爬上香山的山顶。对我们来说并不是很难。接下来，我们在山顶上吃午饭。很美味。午饭后，我们看见了一些鸟。它们很友好。我们看到了北京的全貌。”真是一个美丽的城市!”我说道。在那一刻，我们都感到非常的骄傲。我现在住在北京。2008届奥运会将在这里举行。

I hope you can visit to Beijing in the future and I am sure you’ll like here.

希望将来你可以来参观北京，我肯定你一定会喜欢的。

Best wishes.

最好的祝福

Sincerely yours,

我们班的老师在讲课的时候都讲的栩栩如生，然而在上下课时却非常的“慢”。例如：今天上午第四节课是语文课，可是上课的铃声过去了许久，还是不见老师的身影。不知问自己多少次“为何黄老师也慢了，真闹心！”就在这时，班上的捣蛋鬼唐某和赵某在教室里打起了口水仗，他们你一句我一句的，听的我儿朵都要长茧子了。

终于，班长到办公室叫老师了，可班长给我的结果简直是晴天霹雳——上数学。随之，数学老师迈进了教室，我们只好无可奈何地拿出了数学书。

我们班的老师除了一个“慢”还在占课，这可就要数“Einglishmiss张小姐”——英语老师了。

太好了，这节课是电脑课，又可以痛痛快快的玩一节电脑了，心里正在美滋滋地想着，可英语老师的出现让我有点无语……老师却笑盈盈的对我们说：“今天没电了，上英语课，”我们全班同学几乎倒下。

我希望老师可以按时上课，给我们一个好的学习心态。

My high school headteacher teaches my English. He is handsome.  And he is very thin for hardwork. He is about forty years old. He looks serious. But in fact, he is kind, nice and warmhearted.

我的高中班主任教我们英语。他很帅气。因为工作辛苦，所以他很瘦。大概40岁左右。他看起来很严肃，但实际上他是很友好、善良、热心肠的

On the one hand, he is serious on study. Whoever doesn’t finish the homework or cheat in the exam, he will punish him or her badly. Sometimes he will let those students do doble homework or have  another exam. Sometimes he will ask those students write reports on that behavior. But when teaching us in class, he is so patient. It’s the same when asking him questions. On the other hand, he will play with us after class. Meanwhile, if anyone has any difficuty in study or daily life, he will give a hand without hesitation.

一方面，他在学习上是很严格的。不管是谁没完成作业或者在考试中作弊他都会重重是惩罚他或她。有时候他会让他们做双倍的家庭作业或者重新再参加过另一个考试。有时候他会让他们对自己的行为写报告。但是，在课堂上教我们的时候他是很有耐心的。我们向他请教问题的时候也是一样的。另一方面，在课后他会和我们一起玩。同时，如果我们任何人有任何关于学习或者日常生活上的困难，他都会毫不犹豫的伸出援手

All in all, we love our headteacher, though sometimes he is serious. We like his responsibility. We also appreciate his spirit to work for students heart and soul.

总之，虽然有时候他很严肃，但是我们爱我们的班主任。我们喜欢他的责任心。我们也欣赏他为了学生全心全意工作的精神。

在这几天里，有一个老师给我留下了深刻的老师。

这位老师就是我的英语老师。她的鼻梁高高的，眼睛乌黑发光，长睫毛；金色的卷发从太阳穴下面垂下来，美丽极了。老师在课上，认真讲课，详细给我们大家讲一些重点和难题，还让我们现场进行对话表演。

有一次，老师叫我起来和他进行一次问候语的对话，就只是打几个招呼，问候一下他人而已，很简单。只要听清楚老师说的是什么意思，根据意思来回答就可以了。我就是这个样子去做的。老师还说我做的很好。very good!使我感到了学习英语也不困难。

老师还会自己想一些，有趣、好玩的学习方法，来增加我们的记忆力。在前几天，我们学习了英语26个字母中的5个元音字母，这五个元音字母分别是：A E I O U老师让我们把这五个元音字母写在左手的第一关节上面，大拇指——A，食指——E，中指——I，无名指——O，小拇指—— U，这样老师让我们看着左手上写的五个元音字母，教我们一个一个的读，等我们大家都读熟了以后，老师让我们看着手的另一面，老师随便读一个元音字母，我们就把字母对应的那个手指头伸出来。就这个样子我把这五个元音字母记得牢牢的。

老师还教我们怎样更快的记住单词地方法，用单词的音和意思来记住这个单词。还有教了我们一些字母组合，通过这些字母组合 ，可以很快地读出这些单词的读音，方便极了。

我喜欢这一位英语老师，我原来不太喜欢英语，通过这几天老师的指教，我渐渐对英语产生了兴趣。我还要对英语老师说几句话：“谢谢您老师，我一定不会辜负您对我的期望。”

这就是我的英语老师。

Today, my parents were not at home, they had something to deal with, so

they left me alone. I was so happy because I could be in charge in my own house,

it made me feel like I was a grow-up. I wanted to give my parents a surprise, so

I planned to clean the house. It was not easy to do the house chores, first, I

swept the floor and took notice of every corner. And then I rearranged the

messed things. I just wanted to make sure the room would be very clean at first

sign. When my parents went home, they couldnt believe what I had done, they

were so happy that I could take care of myself.

今天，我的父母不在家，他们有事情要去处理，所以他们让我一个人在家。我很开心，因为我能在自己的家里面做主，这让我觉得自己是个成年人。我想要给父母一个惊喜，所以我计划清理房子。做家务真是不容易啊，第一，我要扫地，并且注意房子的每一个角落。让后我重新安置了那些混乱的东西。我只是想要确保房子的每一个角落一眼看过去是很干净的。当父母回到家里的时候，他们无法相信我所做的，他们很开心我能照顾自己。

[关于My hobby 我的爱好的英语作文及翻译

胡晓南

瞧，人群中那位美丽又大方的女子，就是我们的英语老师。

她，拥有着一头乌黑发亮的长发，上课时总爱扎着一个俏皮的马尾辫，整齐的刘海下面是一弯柳叶般的眉毛。最引人注目的是那双水灵灵的大眼睛，忽闪忽闪的。每当上课时分，她的眼神总是那么炯炯有神，闪烁着智慧的光芒。她，有一张樱桃似的小嘴，流利的英语脱口而出。她，拥有着令人羡慕的身材，当穿上了红白相间的连衣裙，简直就是仙女下凡。

英语老师的性格时而温柔，时而严肃。每当她温柔起来，她会不厌其烦地给我们讲一些有趣的英语故事，让我们开怀大笑。可是，当我们犯错或考试没有考好时，老师会露出严厉的目光，会皱起眉头，脸上不由自主地增添了些许烦恼。

英语老师经常抽出时间为我们组织一些游戏，让我们沉浸在欢乐的海洋中。记得有一次，她让我们收集一些废旧物品做漂亮的服装，从而来进行走秀比赛。同学们踊跃参与，有的装扮成了美丽的白雪公主，有的装扮成了凶恶的巫婆，还有的则是可爱的花仙子……而英语老师呢，她则默默地在角落里为我们拍照，时不时还引导我们摆造型。在老师的指导下，走秀活动开展得热闹非凡，欢声笑语在教室里回荡。

啊，这就是我那美丽又温柔的英语老师，我非常喜欢她！

[5.1劳动节英语作文及翻译

我们的新英语老师是一个既风趣又“凶残”的一个人，可以说是一个彻彻底底的“两面派”。她——便是我们的倪老师。

记得在暑假最后几天，一个天大的坏消息将我惊得心底冷冰冰的，不禁让我倒吸一口凉气——我们的英语老师换了。而让我更生无可恋的则是我们的新英语老师可是以“凶狠残暴”闻名校园的。

在没正式见面之前，我便对这位老师有所耳闻，几乎所有家长都说倪老师是位很好的老师，是位教导有方的老师，更是位十分严厉的老师。

上课的第一天，我有幸见到了她。当她刚跨进门的时候，我一眼就看到了那一头不算长的头发被束在后脑勺，那眼睛是炯炯有神，像一颗明珠一样闪烁着光芒，她脸上的每一个表情都写满了她的喜怒哀乐，随时可以吸引每一位同学的目光，活跃班级的气氛，引领每一个人的情绪。眨眼间，她的身形像疾风一样闪到讲台前，整个人看上去十分精明干练。

开口几句话就让我们笑开了颜——“classbegin！”一句英文在教室里回响，那声音果真是如雷贯耳，吓得我们一个个呆若木鸡。反应过来时，想起立却又不敢起立，“难道我走错班啦？”“这是八班吧？”说完便笑了起来，银铃般的笑声让我们也情不自禁地跟着傻笑，也有小部分同学小心翼翼地轻声回答：“嗯。”“是八班。”不得不说倪老师的气场真是强大！

报名字的时候，老师用洪亮地声音喊着我的名字，我马上起立，高喊一声“到！”老师瞅瞅我，忽然问了一句“你热不？”我不轻不响地回答：“不热。”老师问我的原因是因为炎炎夏日我却还披一件春季的校服外套，我妈也让我脱，可我却死活不脱，因为我真的不热。说完老师就开始调侃我：“如果中暑了我可以帮你扭痧。”说着还做起了扭痧的动作，还真是惟妙惟肖，手指一勾，那两根有劲的大拇指和食指便是狠狠一掐空气，脸上依然挂着笑容。我的后背却冒着冷汗，因为我曾经尝过这种滋味，简直痛不欲生。我只能苦笑着，心里想着：“这老师忒‘狠’了点吧？”

之后，老师拿出了一样“致命武器”——一根结实的教棒。当我一眼看见那家伙时，瞬间身形一抖，脸上的表情越来越不自然。她还让我们猜这根棒子叫什么名字，不一会，我的脑中便是灵光一闪，蹦出三个大字——杀威棒！心里想着：“这名字怕是再合适不过了。”可惜人算不如天算，原来她真正的名字叫“哈利。波特”，那可是一根承载着无数学子们的恐惧、害怕的教棒，那教棒上早已染上无形的杀气，是刹那能让我们闻风丧胆的魔鬼！我的心瞬间跌落地狱，绝望的心情笼罩在心头，面部不自然地抽搐着。

终于“叮”地一声，下课铃声响起，可我们却丝毫不敢挪动半分，直到老师从教室门口出去。走得远远的时候，才一把摊在椅子上，长舒一口气，心里的大石头才终于落下。

我们的老师能轻而易举地将我们的心情瞬间切换，像是在荡秋千，一会儿高，一会儿低，还真是位既幽默又“凶残”的老师，真不知道是幸运呢？还是不幸呢？

如何？你可有一位这样“两面派”的老师？

早晨，我被噼里啪啦的炮声惊醒了，原来，今天是元霄节啊，我飞快的爬起来，和妈妈去姨姨家过节。

In the morning, I was produced crackling of guns to awaken, turns out today

is The Lantern Festival ah, I climb up quickly, and her mother went homes

feast.

在姨姨家，我和妈妈度过快乐的一天。

In the homes, my mother and I spent a happy day.

晚上回家时，刚走出姨姨家，我和妈妈就被突然响起的炮声包围了，妈妈吓得捂住耳朵躲在一辆小车的后面，而我却兴奋地直往前冲，当炮声小一点的时候，我妈妈才慢慢地探出头来，我一把拉住妈妈的手向大门跑去，费了好大功夫，我们才逃出炮的包围圈，我们坐上一辆出租车，这才松了一口气。

Go home at night, fresh out ofs home, my mother and I were sudden sound of

guns surrounded, mother scared to cover your ears hiding in a small car back,

and I was excited straight forward blunt, when guns small bit of time, my mother

just slowly explore successful in career, I a pull a mothers hand to the gate

ran, and made an effort, we just escaped from the gun battalion, we took a taxi,

this just breathe a sigh of relief.

啊!这个元霄节过得真刺激呀!

The Lantern Festival is really exciting!

Late for School

October 8th Wednesday Windy

I was fifteen minutes late for school this morning. I usually go to school

by bike. But this morning there was something wrong with my bike. It didnt work

on the way to school. I had to have it repaired. So I had to take a bus. It took

me about twenty minutes to get to school. When I arrived at the school gate, it

was 8:15. I was afraid when I entered the classroom, because Mr. Zhang is very

strict with us. Luckily, he was not angry with me this time.

But sometimes she is very strict with us. But all classmates love and respect her very much. After class she often helps us learn patiently.

I like my English teacher , because I think she is the best teacher in the world.

[我的老师英语作文精选

说我们老师爱扮靓，可真一点也不夸虚。成天涂口红，衣服、鞋子种类多，一天天轮流换，想必花费了很多时间。

一次探访，看见了老师化妆的全过程。那次，我和英语科代表抱着作业给英语老师批改，正看见老师在化妆。我们俩躲在离老师视线很远的地方，偷看老师化妆。老师拿起粉红色的口红，嘟起她的小嘴(实际上也不小)，对着镜子，一点一点的涂，涂完了还抿了抿嘴，再对着镜子帮涂出来的地方用纸巾擦净。然后老师似乎还觉得不够好，就用梳子梳了梳头发。我们俩这才一手掩着嘴不让笑声发出来，一手抱这作业给老师，老师疑惑的问：“你们俩不舒服吗？怎么掩着嘴啊？”我们俩放下掩着嘴的手，大笑的离开办公室。

老师您是辛勤的园丁，我们就是一棵棵小树苗，您不断修剪我们的枝叶，让我们健康茁壮成长。

我们的英语老师，有一头乌黑乌黑的头发，特别的开朗，活泼，记得在我上三年级下学期的时候，老师眼看着快要到学期末了，为了让大家考好成绩，就不断的出卷子，让我们做卷子，多见见题型，这样我们就可以考好成绩，可每次我都考不好，我打算放弃不在练老师发的卷子了，老师这个时候走过来，说：“不要灰心，不要放弃，要时时刻刻的提醒着自己，我一定行。”在老师的话中我有所感悟，并知道了老师对我的希望，老师鼓励我每做一份卷子，她检查一份，当我做了数不清的卷子时，我终于考了一个100分，期末考试到来了，我怀着一颗紧张的心来到了考场，考试开始了，当时卷发的我说了的时候，我大吃一惊，心惊胆战，这么难的题，我能考100分么？就在这个时候，我的心里突然想起了老师的那句话，就是，加油、加油一定是100分，啊！老师谢谢你对我的鼓励，当考试结束后，我果然是100分。

老师谢谢你，我爱你张老师。

[英语作文及翻译我的爸爸

Ji Anlived at the time of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.24). He was respected for being upright and just and for daring to speak the truth. He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officals.

Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confucianism and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward.

For this reason ,Ji An was never promoted again. When he was the commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officials, both Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were low -ranking lfficials of little importance. Later ,they were promoted continuously. Gongsun Hong became the prime minister and Zhang Tang became the imperial censor. However, JiAns post remained thesame. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wudi that the way the emperor used his ministers was just like piling up firewood, which meant that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers. Of course, Emperor Wudi could see that Ji An was complaining. So,turning to his ministers, Emperor Wudi said, "It is true that no one can stop learning.You see, Ji An is making more and more indiscreet remarks."

This story comes from The Historical Records. Later generations use the set phrase "the latecomers surpass the old-timers " to indicate that successors can cxcel the predecessors, which is quite different from the original idea when Ji An said that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers.

汲黯是西汉武帝时代人，以刚直正义、敢讲真话而受人尊重。他为人和做官都不拘小节，讲求实效。虽然表面上不那么轰轰烈烈，却能把一个郡治理得井井有条，因此，朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉——一种主管地方吏任免的官职。

有一次，汉武帝说要实行儒家的仁义之政，为老百姓办好事了。没等皇帝把话说完，汲黯就说：“陛下内心里那么贪婪多欲，表面上却要装得实行仁政，这是何苦呢？”一句话把皇帝噎了回去。汉武帝登时脸色大变，宣布罢朝，满朝文武都为汲黯捏着一把汗，担心他会因此招来大祸。武帝回到宫里以后，对身边的人说，汲黯这个人也未免太粗太直了。

从此以后，汲黯的官职再也没有提升。他当主爵都尉的时候，公孙弘、张汤都还是不起眼的小官，后来，他们一个劲儿住上升，公孙弘当上了丞相，张汤做上了御史大夫，可他汲黯还蹲在原地没动窝。有一天，汲黯对武帝说，陛下使用群臣，跟码劈柴一样，是“后来者居上”啊！汉武帝当然听得出这是发牢骚。于是，转脸对臣下们说：“人真是不能不学习啊！你们听汲黯说话，越来越离谱了！”

故事出自《史记汲郑列传》。成语“后来居上”，往往指后起的可以胜过先前的。和汲黯说这话的原意，大不相同。
