英文作文（一）

Good morning， ladies and gentlemen， boys and girls. Now ，It‘s my turn. My name is Edgar， a high school student. I am very honored to be here to give you a speech. Also it’s a good chance for me to improve my English. I hope I can make a good performance today. The topic of my speech is “After studying here”.

Before I came here，I can never imagine that I can learn so much knowledge about other countries， which can‘t be got from my books in school. Three months ago， I took my first class. Unfortunately， I felt so embarrassed， because I even can’t speak any words， though I know I really love English .

After that， I took some of my tutor‘s advice and previewed the lesson that I’ll learn. What‘s more， In every class， I JUST try my best to say as much as possible. Now，I can only remember It’s a really hard time. What‘s worse， I had to go to my high school and went there at the same time.

After several weeks， I began to get used to the atmosphere in web .At least I’m not afraid to speak in front of my tutor and  foreign teachers.

During web‘s period，I found I had improved a lot， both physically and mentally. For example， how to be a confident person， how to plan for my future. And the most important is that I have learnt how to communicate with others， which is a necessary skill. Nowadays studying is not the only thing that we high school students should do， there are some more important things we have ignored.

First， I am grateful for my parents. They have spent so much money for me， but never ask for anything in return. I really know how hard it is to work on such living conditions.

Now It’s time to introduce my tutor sally. It was she that led me to the right studying here. It was she that helped me deal with all kinds of annoying things. Also there are some other teachers that I appreciate， especially Laura and Anita. Of course， I like to take foreign teachers‘ classes. Anyway， thanks all of you！

I know I am young； there is a long way in my life. I have to face the difficulties and solve them by myself. But i know i must keep on my dream， I agree that If you put your mind to， you can accomplish anything.

I know i’m not the best ，but i‘m the most diligent one.I hope you can remember me ，an ordinary boy.

Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overes Rabbi Banish of Komarov， who， having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied， manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca， his beloved youngest daughter， is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation， forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to prehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.

A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes， unclean food， and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi， they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish， whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision， Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubts until the very moment of death， when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.

While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith， they e too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality， let along of salvation， attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses， and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason， relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few， release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present， living and dead.

These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship， they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.

A father like a cup of coffee, if you dont linger on, cant find the "sugar", and "bitter" away. A father in the eyes, the gentle and strong father in busy and vigorous figure, it is the love, responsibility, love of wisdom.

Remember the last time: Im in the pavilion in the park, because of too excited, one not careful, fell and hurt my foot. At home, I saw dad, tears just kept falling. Dad saw and asked with concern: "whats up? Whats wrong with?" I cried, pointing to the foot, father for iodine and cotton swabs, side to help me stop bleeding disinfection, side to comfort me: "be strong! Not tears wont pain!" Then, my father gave me a story about "hua mu LAN army". Heard daddy such comfort me, encouraged me, tears from the eyes down again. This is not the pain of the tears, but was moved to tears!

像一杯咖啡一个父亲，如果你不流连忘返，找不到“糖”和“苦”了。在眼中的父亲，温柔而坚强的父亲在繁忙和矫健的身影，那是智慧的爱，责任，爱心。

还记得最后一次：我在公园里的凉亭，是因为太兴奋了，一不留神，摔，伤了我的脚。在家里，我看到了爸爸，眼泪只是不停地落下。爸爸看见了，并关切地问道：“怎么了这有什么错?”我哭了，指着脚下，父亲碘和棉签，一边帮我止血消毒，一边安慰我：“是强不流泪的人不会痛!”于是，我父亲给了我一个关于“花木兰军”的故事。听到爸爸这样安慰我，鼓励我，再次回落泪水从眼睛。这不是泪水的痛苦，但被感动得哭了!

★★ 父亲节英文日记范文 ★★

Dear Mr Pan:

It has been a long time since I wrote the last letter. Nowdays, people write letters less and less, instead, they make a call or send a SMS. However, it is still a good way for us to communicate with each other by sending a letter.

Its my honour to get the chance to write to you. "Approachable" is my first impression of you, because you always keeps smiling. Students may fear the teachers that are serious both in and out of class. Smile makes a teacher popular with his students, you are a teacher of this very kind.

You always arrive at the classroom ahead of any of the students, from which we could imply that you are a diligent man with regular habit. Before the class, you like to talk to us, at this very time, you are more a friend than a teacher. To be honest, I was surprised in the first class when I learned a teacher at your age could speak English in such a fluent way.(I didnt mean you are old, youre young at heart.) Moreover, you know well how to keep your class attractive. Youve got such an active mind that you can keep talking during the whole class without a pause. I always appreciated your ideas and enjoyed listening to you. In your class, I learned not only the writing skills but also the presentation skills as well as much knowledge of other areas. Thanks for your excellent teaching.

Ive got some suggestions for you. It seems that we students have got few chances to participate in discussion during the class time. Most of the time, we are listening. Seldom did we express our own ideas. I suggest that teachers should interact with students more frequently in the class. Besides, Id like to practice writing more, so would you please leave us more assignments?

Happy new year.

With every good wish.

Yours sincerely

Dali Wang

Dear Mother

Your hard work!

In this letter I want to apologize to you!

In the past 13 years, whenever I fell on the road of growth, you will

patiently put me right, so that I thrive.

When I make you angry, you criticize me, My heart is not very taste, but I

know, that is your love for me! Sorry, mom! I wont offend you again!

When I saw the picture you held when I was a child, the lamp of happiness

in my heart was lit up by you! Mom! I am so happy!

When My exam results were very poor, you were not like other parents,

beating and scolding, but encouraged me, believe that I can do well in the exam!

Teach me to correct the wrong questions, teach me how to do these questions, let

me copy the wrong questions again, firmly in mind, because of your encouragement

and help, I will have todays achievement!

Mom, youve got a few more wrinkles on your face! Because we are too

naughty! Sorry, mom! Please rest assured, the daughter will be obedient!

Mother, you are beautiful when you smile, your smile is so kind; Your smile

is so kind; Your smile is so happy!

Mom, I love you! You gave me happiness, you gave me youth. Now you are old,

I will gradually grow up, with my efforts to give you happiness!

When you this tree fell yellow leaves, I this small tree is growing! When

you this flower faded, I this flower is in bud!

I will turn your yellow leaves into green leaves! Will let your withered

flower into a delicate bud

I wish you a

In good health! Forever beautiful!

Dear Mr Wang:

We are so pleased that you are willing to share our views.

In the course of the general revision,What we need is solid foundation. Methods are vital,so could you please introduce some learning keys?We think it can help us much better.

Could you please teach us slower? We should have time to understand everything we learnt .Then we can learn the nature not the surface.

We also need to practice the important and easily wrong difficulties again and again. And we wont get puzzled when we meet the similar questions.

Doing homework is a way to make sure if all of us can control the knowledge.We hope that there will be less homework in order to increase the quality.

Besides,inspire us more and well do better than before.

Yours,

Li hua

Dear Miss Jiang,

I am writing to share my ideas about our English class. Now, our main

material in the class is the textbook, which is reasonable. But I think we can

get some other resources, such as English magazines, songs, movies and so on. We

can learn the basic knowledge from out textbook, and get some more from other

materials. In addition, those materials are more authentic and practical, which

will be useful to our learning. Besides, by doing so, we can get more fun from

learning and develop our interest to English. Please take good consideration of

my advice. Thank you!

Sincerely yours

Bella

尊敬的蒋老师：

您好!我写信是想和你谈谈我对英语课的想法。现在我们上课用的主要材料是课本，这是合理的。但是我认为我们可以获取一些其他资源，比如英语杂志，歌曲，电影等等。我们可以从课本上学到基本的知识，同时从其他材料获取更多知识。另外，那些材料更真实和实用，这对于我们的学习会有好处的。此外，通过这样做我们可以从学习中获得更多乐趣从而培养我们对英语的兴趣。请您认真考虑我的建议，谢谢!

今天，我参加了雏鹰假日小活动:小手拉大手跟着环保走，活动目的是让大家注意环保，爱护我们的环境，雏鹰假日小活动作文。我兴奋的跟着老师来到地铁站集中。

老师讲完了要求，我就和周祎一起去宣传了，我找了好久也找不到一个人，我突然想到了一个办法，我一个人跑到地铁口“守株待兔”。不一会儿“兔子”果然来了，我赶紧跑上去说:“您好我是刘欣雨，我参加了雏鹰假日小活动我想向您宣传我们的口号:“小手拉大手跟着环保走”，请您收下宣传单，支持我们可以吗？”阿姨笑了笑说：“你真懂礼貌，我支持你们，你可以说给我听一听吗？”“当然了，环保要从垃圾分类开始，有的垃圾可以回收，比如塑料袋，塑料瓶，纸张……还有有毒的比如电池等等”“谢谢你的介绍，小学四年级作文《雏鹰假日小活动作文》。”“也谢谢您的支持。”我开心道谢，心想：功夫不过有心人呀！就这样我宣传了第一份单子。我又开始守株待兔，不出我的预料又来了一位叔叔，我急忙跑上去敬个礼说：“您好我是刘欣雨，我参加了雏鹰假日小活动我想向您宣传我们的口号:“小手拉大手跟着环保走”，请您收下单子，支持我们可以吗？”叔叔看了看我，我紧张急了，他拿了一个单子，就走了。我松了一口气，又到一边找周祎，我看到有一个老奶奶，就跑过去说:“您好我是刘欣雨，我参加了雏鹰假日小活动我想向您宣传我们的口号:“小手拉大手跟着环保走”，请您收下单子，支持我们可以吗？”老奶奶拿了一个单子就匆匆走了。

我到老师那报到，“老师，我的宣传单宣传完了。”我高兴的说。说完我就跑去和周祎一起帮做同学宣传了。

最后，在大家的团结，努力下活动圆满，成功的结束了。

The Lunar New Year  a great occasion to the Chinese people. It lasts about the first four days of the year， during which people do not work except for the workers on duty. Students do not go to school， and shops are closed.

Several days before the new year， people begin to prepare. Farmers kill pigs， sheep， cocks and hens. City dwellers buy meat fh and vegetables. Houses are cleaned; coupletsare posted on the doors. Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate.

On the eve of the new year， each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner. After the meal they watch TV until the clock strickes twelve. Then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers and other fire works to welcome the new year. On the first day of the new year， almost everyone  dressed in h or her best. When people meet on the way， they say to each other "Happy New Year". Friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other. Children indulge themselves in games.

Christmas stocking. Thank you for so many years of hard work, so that every one

of our children can receive gifts. I was very happy when I received your gift

know what they are thinking, also know what they need, in this beautiful

Christmas Eve, I also want to give them a gift!

Its getting late. Thats all. Good night and a good dream.

I like your youyou

有两则关于同一条英语谚语Blood is thicker than water的译例。其一是“清水不浓血却浓”，其二是“血浓于水”。从字面上看，上述两则译例译得固然不错，似无可厚非。译文读起来很顺，又比较易懂，但读后似有不知所云之感。

这是因为译文的形象没能准确地传达出这条谚语的喻义来。

Longman Dictionary of English Idioms（p.28）上对这条谚语的解释是“The relationship between people of the same family is stronger than other，relationships”因此，这则谚语似可以借用汉语中一句俗语“亲不亲一家人”来译更能表达出“属于同一血缘关系的一家人比别人更亲近一些”的寓意。

语言是文化的表现形式。谚语同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华。英语谚语是富于色彩的语言形式，一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上，英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此，翻译英语谚语时，仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性（等价性）为前提，寻求对等的表现是不够的。译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段，力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言内涵色彩，才能使译文讽喻得当，宜于说理，又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。

某些英语谚语和汉语成语、俗语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。汉译这些英语时，可惜用与其喻义相同或相近的成语或谚语及俗语直接对译。这样不但可以比较好地保持原文的神韵和形式，又使译文易于为读者或听者接受。如：

Pride comes before a fall．骄兵必败。

Amiss is as good as a mile.差之毫厘，失之千里。

Two is company，but three is none.两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚无水吃。

Walls have ear.隔墙有耳。

Enough is as good as a feast．知足常乐。

有些英语谚语虽然在语言习惯和文化背景方面和其相对的汉语谚语之间存在着某些差异，而且所比喻的事物并不一样，但他们的喻义却相互吻合，而且表达方式也很相似，汉译这些英语谚语时，常常需要“易其形式，存其精神”，即采用形象近似的汉语成语意译。这样可使译文既喻义明显，又含而不露，且可再现原文所具有的语言效果，容易达意。如：

Two can play the game.孤掌难鸣。

Newbroom sweeps clean.新官上任三把火。

Speak of the devil，and he appears.说曹操，曹操到。

The grass is greener on the other side of the hill．这山望着那山高。

Putting the cart before the horse.本末倒置。

有些英语谚语意在言外，语言含蓄，寓意深刻。如果仅从字面意义直译成汉语，而不领会原文的具体含义及其效果，译文势必平淡无味。这样既不能表达意思，又有损于原文的语言形象和丰富内涵。因此，在翻译时，应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻义相同或效果相似的成语、谚语或俗语来表达，则会使译文形象生动，准确达意。试比较下列各译例。

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.如译成“住在玻璃房子里的人，不应扔石头”不如译成“己有过，勿正人”或“责人必先责己”。

In fair weather prepare for the foul．如译成“晴天要防阴天”，不如译成“有备无患”或“居安思危”或“未雨绸缪”。

Murder will out．如译成“谋杀终必败露”，不如译成“纸包不住火”。

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread．如译成“愚者敢闯天使不敢去的地方”，不如译成“初生牛犊不怕虎”。

One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.如译成“想吃煎蛋卷，就得打鸡蛋”，不如译成工“有得必有失”或甚至可以引申为“不破不立”。

如果所要翻译的谚语喻义清新，形象逼真，按其字面直译其意，就能表达出原文的喻义来，则可直译。这样做既能较完整地保存原文的表达方式，且又可丰富我们自己的语言文化，一举两得，请看下面的译例。

God helps those who help themselves.上帝帮助那些自己帮助自己的人。或“自助者天助之”。

Money is the root of all evil．金钱是万恶之源。

An empty sack cannot stand upright．空袋立不直。

Do as you would be done by. 以你所期望的别人待你的方式待人。

这与另一谚语： Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.“己所不欲勿施于人”很相似。

Money talks.钱能通神。

有些英语谚语常常采用对称的修辞手段。使用这一修辞手段的目的在于加强语势，宜于说理，读后有心悦诚眼之感。汉译这些谚语时，应适当注意保持其修辞色彩，以便体现原文的表达方式。如：

You may take a horse to the water， but you can’t make it drink．

如果按字面译成，“你可以把马牵到河边去，但不能叫它饮水”至少是没有充分体现这句谚语本身所具有的强烈对比色彩。从语法分析的观点看，在这个句子里，情态动词may和can虽然都表示“可能”的，但在含义上有所不同。这里may表示“事实上的可能性”，而can则表示“逻辑上的可能性”。并列连词but使前后两个分句意义相反，对比色彩强烈。在这种情况下，译文也必须力求对偶整齐，前后呼应，形成对照。如将此句译作“牵马河边易，逼它饮水难”或“老牛不喝水，不能强按头”会更好些。

总之，即使像谚语这样孤立的语句，翻译时也需尽一番揣摩切磋之功，否则译文就可能与原文“貌合神离”，文不达意。译事艰辛也许正在于此。
