关于飞机的英文作文(汇集20篇)

20 March 2006

Dear Sir,

I was very interested in your advertisement in todays edition of The Evening Post and I should like to apply to be a member of the Amazon Expedition team.

I am twenty-three years old and have an honors degree in Botany from Bath University. Since leaving university I have been working in a research laboratory but my contract comes to an end in six weeks. I would particularly like to join the expedition for the opportunity it would give me to study the plant life of the area.

I enjoy several outdoor activities including rowing and rock climbing and I consider myself to be both fit and healthy enough to undertake such an expedition.

If you would like me to attend an interview, I would be able to come at any time convenient to you, (J1) my employers have agreed to give me time off for the purpose.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Lily Ma

我们全家去上海度假，听说要坐飞机去，我高兴的一蹦三尺高。

我们先去办登记手续，因为是第一次，我在那里跑来跑去，还差点跑丢了。开始登机了，我坐在位置上，兴奋地四处张望。“请乘客们系好安全带，本次航班马上就要起飞。”老爸一边帮我系安全带一边关手机，我好奇的问：“老爸，你关手机干嘛？”老爸解释道：“坐飞机不能开手机是因为……”老爸顿了顿，继续说：“手机发出的电磁波会干扰飞机雷达，从而影响飞行。”“哦，原来是这样。”我恍然大悟。

飞机起飞了，那巨大的引擎声提醒了我，我连忙透过窗户向下看，就在说话之间，飞机已经在半空中，高度还在不断上升。哇，公共汽车变得和蚂蚁一样大，就连高楼大厦，也变得像积木搭的房子……突然，飞机一阵颠簸，螺旋桨的叶片一副快断快断的样子，老爸老妈都惊恐万分，魂飞魄散。我好奇的问：“怎么了？”老爸魂不附体地说：“我们遇到气流了。”我正想问气流是什么，飞机不再颠簸。这是喇叭响起了一位空中小姐的声音：“各位乘客，飞机已经度过了气流区，请放心！”只见大家都松了一口气，我才知道：在空中遇到气流是很危险的事。

飞机上的食物也很多，还很美味。有香甜可口的面包，有日本风味的寿司还有香喷喷的牛肉饭、鸡肉饭……

飞机到站了，我依依不舍地下了飞机。

During last summer vacation I paid a visit to my uncle’s. It was the first time I had seen the sea. Tow years ago my uncle a closed friend of my father transferred from Shanxi to Yantai a beautiful port city; and then my aunt joined him a couple months later. And a year later I became their guest and was going to stay with them for a week. I was fascinated by the vastness of the sea the clean and soft sand on the beach the seagulls flying in the sky and the beauty of the golden sunset clouds over the dark blue water. But I missed the sunrise each day for I couldn’t get up early enough.

On the fifth day the alarm clock woke me up when it was still dark outside I hurried to the beach and stood in the cool breeze there the sky was turning grey little by little the sea was calm and all was so quiet that I felt I was surrounded by mysteries then suddenly in the faraway horizon golden beans of light were shooting up into the sky. A moment later a corner of the sun appeared. The sun was rising very slowly and reluctantly as if it was unwilling to leave the sea. At last the entire sun lay on the horizon so big and so red it looked like a huge ripe orange or a tender half-boiled yolk. It hesitated and shivered a moment then said goodbye to the sea and rose into the air. The scene was very beautiful touching and magnificent which I’ll never forget.

Dear Mr. Seaton，

Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to

London. It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other

famous sights. If Id gone alone, I couldnt have seen nearly as much, because I

wouldnt have known my way about.

The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare. I still

remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate.

During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the

afternoon and be windy before the night falls. So I think I was lucky.

I think the river trip was the best thing of all. London really came alive

for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to

Greenwich. It was all tremendously exciting - a day that I shall never

forget.

Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen

我是一张白纸，被一阵风吹卷到了一个房间里，里面十分干净，却有数不清的书，我心想：怎么这么多书?这个房间的主人一定非常有文化。

突然，“吱呀”一声，门开了，一个小男孩进来了，他背着沉重的书包，他不像其他孩子一样欢乐快活地走进来，而是低着头，忧伤失落地走进来，放下了把他压弯了腰的书包。我以为他会和自己的朋友一起出去玩，可是，这和我想象的不同，小男孩放下书包，就坐在书桌前，从书包抽出一张试卷，我看见小男孩死死地盯着外面，眼睛里十分忧伤，我看着他也难过了。

小男孩开始写作业了，他额头冒着汗，眉头紧皱，眼睛里还是那么忧伤。我望着那沉重的书包，叹了口气，那里面似乎有写不完的作业。小男孩抬起了头看见了我，他轻轻地拿起我，把我折成了一架纸飞机，我现在不迫不及待地想小男孩放飞我。

这时，门又开了，我看见小男孩的父亲走过来，温和地对小男孩说：“儿子，走，去吃饭，吃完饭你还有补习班要上呢!”小男孩的父亲望着小男孩，他突然眉头一皱，眼睛死死的盯着小男孩的书桌，生气地说：“这是谁给你的飞机?”小男孩发着抖，冒着冷汗说：“是……是朋友送……送我的!”小男孩的父亲怒吼：“都快考试了，还玩纸飞机!快还给朋友!”小男孩突然站起来，手用力拍打桌子，眼睛愤怒的瞪着爸爸吼叫道：“我每天这么累，就不能偶尔休息一下吗?”爸爸看到小男孩对自己发脾气，突然大发雷霆。我静静地看着小男孩和他父亲，我觉得小男孩十分可怜，每天这么累，还没有一点休息的时间。

小男孩的父亲怒发冲冠地拿起我，把我撕成了两半，我感到一阵阵巨裂的疼痛。小男孩望着我撕成了两半，摊在了地上，眼睛里的泪水划落到了脸上。

此时，我已经奄奄一息了，但是我希望小男孩能露出灿烂的笑容，吹散悲伤。

呼呼，呼呼。咦，是什么从天空中飞过，发出了如此巨大的声响。仔细一看，原先是一架飞机缓缓驶过。我从小就想体验在高空中翱翔的感觉，因为没时间，所以从来没坐过飞机。这一次，最后感受到坐飞机的快乐

今年暑假，我去上海看世博会。从厦门到上海十分远，所以我就坐上了飞机。刚开始，我不明白要怎样上飞机。原先，有一辆类似大巴的车子，把人载到大巴的旁边，在透过一个梯子上去的。坐上飞机，我便耐心的等候飞机启动。过了一会儿，飞机最后起飞了。先是助跑，然后慢慢加速，最后最后飞上了蓝天。从天上往下望，感觉很舒服。能够看到下面的山岭大海、城市的每一个东西都变得很小，高楼大厦像是小孩子玩的积木，又矮又小。当飞在云朵的上面时，就什么都看不见了，天堂似乎就在头上，好像飞机在飞高一点，就快和太阳拥抱了。云层就像陆地一样，仿佛制造了一个云中世界。飞机外面的温度可低了，有零下5度呢!漂亮的空姐推着饮料走了过来，温柔地问着每位乘客要喝什么。那感觉，犹如公主搬的享受。过了一会儿，最后到达上海了。

坐飞机真搞笑，我不会忘记第一次坐飞机的感觉，直到永远，永远

豆豆是幼儿园中班的学生。星期日，妈妈给豆豆买了一架玩具飞机，豆豆非常喜欢这架飞机。于是，他每天都带着这架飞机上下学。

可是一个星期三下午，不同寻常的事出现了。当幼儿园放学时，豆豆照常拿着玩具飞机，一位大哥哥从身边飞驰而过，豆豆的手一抖，“啪嗒”一声，玩具飞机掉在地上，破了。豆豆大哭起来。这时，一位路过的大哥哥过来安慰他说：“小弟弟，你不要哭，我这儿有棒棒糖，我们一人一根，好吗?”“好的。”豆豆不哭了。哥哥把棒棒糖给豆豆。豆豆想：这个大哥哥真好。

头上顶着一个黑色的“头盔”，戴着一个红色的“面具”，两个小小的眼睛，还有一张露着锋利牙齿的嘴巴，噢，别怕，摸一摸是橡胶做的，一双黑色的“大皮靴”，两对小小的翅膀，再加上一个小巧玲珑的尾巴，这就是我——红外线遥控直升飞机，看我的这身打扮，像不像一位酷劲十足又令人生畏的大将军呢？

我的两对翅膀上各有两个防风珠，尾巴上也有一个防风珠，如此一来增加了我的重量，所以我在大风里也可以自由自在地飞翔。

或许你会问：“你能飞多高呢？”这你就不用担心了，我是无线电遥控的，无论飞多高，都没有关系的。而且我有个警报器，在没电的时候会发出“嘟嘟”的声音，而且摇控器上的一个红灯也会不断闪烁。

你可以每天用纸巾擦试我，但纸巾必须要是干的，你可能会问：为什么不用水洗呢？不不不，我会坏的，记住千万不能用水给我洗澡哦！这样我就不能在天空中翱翔了。

怎么样，心动了吧，心动不如行动，快去商店把我的兄弟姐妹带走吧！

I have heard a beautiful poetry, written by a novelist, Amy Cheung. With a

little adjustment, it can vividly depict the alienation among people in reality

- "The further distance in the world is not between life and death. But when I

stand in front of you, your eyes turn to your smartphone; don’t know that I love

you."

The smartphone has been gaining a great popularity, becoming a toxic

compulsion. It has invaded our lives and occupied all our interstitial time. It

is so commonly seen that the smartphone addicts attend to their phone, ignoring

everything. Even meeting with friends, they often pull out the phone in order to

take a photo, check a message or even play with a game. Seeming connected with

the whole world, they have actually fiddled the conversation and done harm to

the relationship.

It is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up. Do

cherish the ones around us and appreciate the splendid scenery ahead of us.

每一个童年，都有许多的第一次，而我最难忘的第一次，就是第一次坐飞机。

那一次，我们家、杨杨家和思思家三家人商量坐飞机去旅游，我们三个小家伙高兴极了，我当晚兴奋得怎么也睡不着，因为坐飞机我可期待很久了。

我们是坐汽车来到广州白云机场，一下车，我们仨开始东张西望，就好象刘姥姥进了大观园，对这里一切充满好奇和新鲜，但是这个候机呀真让人抓狂，等了一个多小时终于可以上机了。

飞机准备起飞，我们都紧张极了；正在这时，一位美丽空姐发给我们一人一块口香糖，说是防止耳膜鼓张发痛，“这个要怎么用呀？”我好奇地问：“那还用说。当然是这样。”杨杨说着把口香糖撕成两半，分别放进耳朵里；“哈哈、、、、、、”我们两个女生忍不住大笑起来，这时空姐微笑着走过来说：“小朋友，这个口香糖是用来嚼的，这样就可防止耳膜鼓张发痛。”我们笑得更大声了。

打闹之间，飞机开始滑行，绕了好几圈后，在一条直道上突然加速，让人觉得像被人捂住了胸口，过了十几秒，飞机前面翘了起来，一下就冲入了天空，我们都欢呼起来：“飞机起飞了。”

我隔着窗户往外看去，先是白云机场逐渐变小，接着许多条高速公路变得象蛇一样，公路上的车象蚂蚁； 突然，窗外变得白茫茫一片，原来是飞机冲入了云层，过了一会儿，展现在我眼前的是蔚蓝的天空，云朵像一层柔软的鹅绒被，又像天使美丽的羽毛，更像白白的棉花糖一样松软。

我看着看着趴在窗檐上睡着了，等我醒来时飞机已经到达了目的地。

第一次坐飞机，真是我激动又难忘的第一次，现在想来还沥沥在目。

Dear Bob,

I’m sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday

afternoon. I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting

that afternoon. I hope the change will not cause you too much

trouble.

Shall we go on Saturday morning? We can set out early so that we’ll

have more time to read and select books. If it’s convenient for you, let’s meet

at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best. I

should be available any time after school next week.

Yours,

Li Hua

我决定写一封信向他道歉英文7

Dear Shelley,

I’m writing to apologize for not watering your jasmine, which caused

its death, while you were away.Now let me explain what

happened to me and my family.

I was so busy preparing for the coming exam that I had no time for

other things. What’s more, my mother had her ankle

injured while she was walking, so I had to take good care of her, who stayed at

home alone. That was why I failed to water your favorite plant. I would like to

buy a new one as a compensation for your loss. Please forgive me.

I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies.

Yours,

Li Hua

Since its first appearance in the 15th century in the courts of European royalty, ballet has become one of the most loved forms of dance. One of the most beloved ballets is “Swan Lake.” First performed in Russia in 1895, it continues to thrill audiences around the world today.

The word “ballet” itself is French, and comes from the Italian word ballo, meaning “a dance.” Ballet dancing, as we know it today, is a result of influences from many countries.  Italy, France, Russia, England, and America have all contributed important elements to this style of dance.

Highly technical, ballet is always performed to music and often tells a story. Though learning this style of dance is a difficult process, the results on stage are magical. The graceful moves display the body in the most elegant and beautiful manner possible.

1.There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

2.We can’t live without water, but now the water was polluted. It is the biggest problem. It influences our daily life. So we should find a way to solve this problem. Water is important resources. In our daily life, we often leave the tap on after cleaning hands. Sometimes we often drop litter in the river. So the water was polluted by us. I think we could use a bottle of water two or three times. We have to turn off the tap after cleaning hands.

Let’s try to form a good habit and save things around us. Let’s do it from now on!

Fish can’t live without water. Plants can’t live without water. People can’t live without water, either. As you can see, the water is very important to us. But now drinking water is leand less. The water was polluted seriously.

So we would act quickly in order to save the water, But what must we do nowI think we can plant trees, clean the banks of the river, water the plants by using used water. Turn off the shower while we are washing hair. And we shouldn’t drop litter into the river and so on.

It’s our duty to try our best to protect and save water. And don’t forget that if we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be our tear

Water is very important to us. We can’t live without water. But the drinking water is leand less. Because we waste a lot of water in our daily life. And some of us often throw rubbish into the rivers. So the rivers are polluted seriously.

It’s our duty to save water, we must do something to save water. For example, we shouldn’t pour waste water into the rivers and we should pick up litter around us.

If we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be our tear

时光犹如一个不懂疲倦的旅客，总是不停留片刻，只顾前行，它一旦离去，便永不再返回。

一年年过去了，我抽屉中的东西也不断变换。一日，我清理抽屉的时候发现了一个已经不成样子的纸飞机。

“飞呀!”几年前，我拿着它来到楼下广场，用尽浑身力气把手中的纸飞机向前扔去，它立刻坠地。我一边叹着气，一边将纸飞机捡了起来。一只手轻轻地将纸飞机夺去，没等我反应过来，它就又飞了出去，随着风滑翔着，时高时低，飞出了好远。就算落在地上的那一刻，也努力地向前滑了一段距离。最后停了下来，翅膀靠在地上，一动不动了。我看向那双手的主人，是一个我不认识的男孩。

还没等我开口，他就抢先说：“你知道纸飞机意味着什么吗?”

“不知道，也不想知道。”我说完，打算去捡纸飞机。

他拉住了我，说：“那上面有我的梦想!”

这句话吸引了我，我不由得问：“什么是梦想?”

“我想当上飞行员!”他笑了笑，“对了，如果有一天我当上了飞行员，你想乘坐我驾驶的飞机吗?”

“想啊!”可是我的纸飞机，在我们聊天时被路人踩坏。

“没关系，我重新给你做一个。”说着，他给了我一个新折的纸飞机。又说：“这是咱俩的约定，你要坐我开的飞机!”说完就走了，消失在人海……

这真是一个奇怪的小男孩。我当时这么想着，拿着纸飞机飞着、玩着。

不知他的梦想能否实现，但梦已经飞了好远好远。即使他还没有实现将来的目标，但他一定努力过，也就没有了遗憾!

此时，空中真的飞过一架飞机，而他，将来也会驾驶着飞机飞翔吧!

在央求了妈妈许久之后，我终于得到了梦寐以求的遥控飞机。

遥控飞机一般可以分成两大类，一类是遥控直升飞机，可以直接起飞；另一类是遥控滑翔机，需要通过助跑才能起飞。

我买的是遥控直升飞机，他有着一身蓝色的外壳，头顶有一根银色的小铁棒，上面安置着两对直升机机翼和一根平衡棒。尾部也有一根银色小棒，上面也安置着一片小机翼，只不过它是用来控制方向的。飞机下面可不是装着平常的起落架，而是四个有弹跳力的越野车轮胎，飞机从高处落下时，这种轮胎可以减少飞机受到的冲击力。在飞机的前端还有一个小灯泡和两个炮弹发射孔，能从高空击打目标。

这架飞机的外壳、机翼等部位都采用的塑料材质，只有轮胎是橡胶材质。它既可以在天空中飞翔，也可以利用四个轮胎在地面行走，它可以在行走模式和飞翔模式之间自由转换，比起那些必须在开阔地域才能遥控飞行的笨重的滑翔机，可轻快太多了。当然必须承认，如果它和滑翔机一起飞行，它的飞行速度还是略输一筹的。

以前我们玩着自己动手折的纸飞机，飞出去还得自己捡，随着遥控飞机的问世，我们可以远程遥控飞机的起落，而且，它的功能越来越多，越来越好玩，我的遥控飞机还能发射炮弹，和朋友们组织高空战斗演习呢。

我爱我的遥控飞机。

Dear Charlie,

Kindly excuse me for my not being able to see you off at the airport this

Saturday as I have promised.

A major business partner of our company will be attending an important

conference in Xiamen this weekend, and my boss finally chooses me to accompany

him there to negotiate about a new transaction. I have just been informed of

this plan and am happy about the decisionthis is an opportunity to both display

and enhance my abilities, so I am afraid I cannot be present at the airport.

Pursuing study overseas is an essential step in the accomplishment of your

dream. How I wish I could have the chance to share with you my personal feelings

and suggestions before you are away! I hereby send you a gift to wish you good

luck. Please forgive me.

Cordially,

Li Ming

When winter comes, especially the cold wind blows, I dont want to go out

of the house. Though the outdoor activity is limited, I still can find a lot of

things to do. The happiest thing for me is to eat hot pot with my families, at

the same time, we watch TV show. Doing these two things together can help us

better communicate and enjoy the family hour. The second thing I want to do is

to stay in bed and play computer. The warmness makes me feel so comfortable. I

will bring some snacks and then enjoy watching movies. Staying indoors also can

make me happy.

妈妈说：这天我们到上海去。我个性兴奋，我一到飞机场就高兴地叫了起来：啊!飞机好大呀!

上了飞机我就急着问妈妈：妈妈，飞机能够起飞了吗?妈妈笑着说：还没有，再等会儿。正在这时一个姨从我身边走过来对大家说：请大家系好安全带。在飞机起飞之前，一台小电视出此刻大家面前，给大家讲解安全知识，讲完了，飞机开始在跑道上慢慢滑行，转了大半圈慢慢地加快了速度，呼地一下冲了上去，渐渐地房子越来越小，象个火柴盒，汽车象蚂蚁一样大，路上走的人已经看不见了，马路就象一条条线，飞机越飞越高，最后飞到云上面去了，我看见了一朵朵白云，象一团团的棉花，漂亮极了。

啊!这天是我最快乐的一天。

每个人都经历过许多第一次，它们像天上的繁星，像海边的贝壳，像沙滩的彩石，为生活增添了许多乐趣。我也不例外，第一次坐飞机的经历，让我记忆犹新。

今年暑假，我和爸爸，妈妈一起去北京旅游。妈妈说我们坐飞机去，我听了好开心啊，兴奋了好几天。出行这天我们早早地就来到南宁吴圩机场，一走进机场，映入眼帘的是一个大大的候机大厅，大厅里人潮涌动，一派繁忙，这时我才发现坐飞机不是一件容易的事情，首先要预先买好机票，办好行李托运和登机手续，然后还要经过安检才能进入候机区内等待登机。我们一行人耐心坐在那里等啊等，终于等到了登机时间。进入飞机场，我就惊讶地叫了起来，哇！这飞机场足足有几个足球场那么大，机舱也很大，可以坐300多个人，飞机里来回播放着乘客须知，还有漂亮的空姐为我们演示紧急情况下应该怎么做。

飞机缓缓进入跑道，带着巨大的轰鸣声从地面升起来了。我两手紧紧地抓住座位扶手，眼睛都不敢睁开，生怕一松手就会掉下去。爸爸鼓励我说：“没事的，放轻松，我们已经飞到天上了，你看看外面好漂亮。”我鼓起勇气慢慢睁开眼睛，勇敢地往下看，哇！一幅美妙的画面尽收眼底，地面的楼房由大变小像一只只甲虫，一条条大马路变成一条条丝线，一辆辆行驶的汽车变成一只只小蚂蚁。窗外的白云千奇百怪，一会儿像强壮的骏马，一会儿像可爱的小白兔，一会儿又像肥嘟嘟的小羊……“好神奇哦！妈妈你快看呀，我们在云朵里穿行，像是在吃棉花糖一样，好享受哦！”我高兴得手舞足蹈。

“各位旅客，目的地到了，感谢大家乘坐本次航班，祝大家旅途愉快。”飞机广播里传来空姐的声音，我才发现3个小时不知不觉过去了。10分钟后，飞机徐徐降落，我们又回到了地面。

既兴奋又紧张，既忐忑又愉快的第一次空中旅行，让我回味无穷，必将令我终身难忘。

The Fascinating Moonrise

There is a hill near my home that I often climb at night. The noise of the city is a far-off murmur. In the hush of dark I share the cheerfulness of crickets and the confidence of owls. But it is the drama of the moonrise that I come to see. For that restores in me a quiet and clarity that the city spends too freely.

From this hill I have watched many moons rise. Each one had its own mood. There have been broad, confident harvest moons in autumn; shy, misty moons in spring; lonely, white winter moons rising into the utter silence of an ink-black sky and smoke-smudged orange moons over the dry fields of summer. Each, like fine music, excited my heart and then calmed my soul.

But we, who live indoors, have lost contact with the moon. The glare of street lights and the dust of pollution veil the night sky. Though men have walked on the moon, it grows less familiar. Few of us can say what time the moon will rise tonight.

Still, it tugs at our minds.

If we unexpectedly encounter the full moon, huge and yellow over the horizon, we are helpless but to stare back at its commanding presence. And the moon has gifts to bestow upon those who watch.

I learned about its gifts one July evening in the mountains. My car had mysteriously stalled, and I was stranded and alone. The sun had set, and I was watching what seemed to be the bright-orange glow of a forest fire beyond a ridge to the east. Suddenly, the ridge itself seemed to burst into flame. Then, the rising moon, huge and red and grotesquely misshapen by the dust and sweat of the summer atmosphere, loomed up out of the woods. Distorted thus by the hot breath of earth, the moon seemed ill-tempered and imperfect. Dogs at nearby farmhouse barked nervously, as if this strange light had wakened evil spirits in the weeds.

But as the moon lifted off the ridge it gathered firmness and authority. Its complexion changed from red, to orange, to gold, to impassive yellow. It seemed to draw light out of the darkening earth, for as it rose, the hills and valleys below grew dimmer. By the time the moon stood clear of the horizon, full-chested and round and of the colour of ivory, the valleys were deep shadows in the landscape. The dogs, reassured that this was the familiar moon, stopped barking. And all at once I felt a confidence and joy close to laughter.

The drama took an hour. Moonrise is slow and serried with subtleties. To watch it, we must slip into an older, more patient sense of time.

To watch the moon move inflexibly higher is to find an unusual stillness within ourselves. Our imaginations become aware of the vast distance of space, the immensity of the earth and the huge improbability of our own existence. We feel small but privileged.

Moonlight shows us none of life’s harder edges. Hillsides seem silken and silvery, the oceans still and blue in its light. In moonlight we become less calculating, more drawn to our feelings.

月升魅无穷

在我家的附近有座小山， 我常在晚间爬上山去。此时，城市的喧嚣成了遥远的低语。在这黑夜的静谧中，我尽情地分享蟋蟀的欢乐，感受猫头鹰的自信。不过，我上山是来看月出的，因为这可以让我的内心重新感到被城市消耗殆尽的平静与清新。

在这座山上，我欣赏过许多次月亮升起的景象。每一次月的姿容性情都不同。秋天，满月如轮，充满自信;春天，月亮清雾迷蒙羞羞答答;冬天，银白色的月亮挂在漆黑的、悄无声息的夜空中，显得那样孤寂;夏天，桔*的月似被烟尘笼罩，俯瞰干燥的田野。每一种月亮，都像美妙的音乐，颤动我的心灵，令我的灵魂平静。

但我们这些深居室内的人，已与月亮失去了联系。城市中耀眼的街灯和污染性烟尘遮住了夜空。虽然人类已在月亮上行走过，但月亮对我们却更加陌生了。现在已很少有人能说出今晚月亮何时升起。

但无论怎样，月亮依然打动我们的心灵。

如果我们偶然遇见一轮黄灿灿的满月高高挂在空中， 我们都会禁不住抬头凝望她那高贵的仪容。而月亮会向那些注视她的人赐予厚礼。

我得到她的厚礼是在山间七月的一个夜晚。我的车突然无缘无故地熄了火，将我孤身一人困在山中，束手无策。太阳已经落山，我注视着东边山头涌起的一团桔红色的明光，好像森林起火一般。突然，山头自己也似乎燃起火焰，一会儿，一轮又大又红的月亮从树林中慢慢现出身来，夏天空气中弥漫的灰尘与湿气令它显得异常怪异。大地灼热的呼吸扭曲了它，它变得非常暴躁，不再完美。附近农舍的狗紧张地狂吠起来，因为这团奇怪的光亮叫醒了野草中的魔鬼。

然而当月亮缓缓从山头升起，它聚集了越来越多的坚定与威严;它的面孔由红色变成了桔红，又变成金色，最后成为沉静的*。它似乎吸收了正在渐渐转暗的大地的光亮，因为随着它的升起，下面的丘陵山谷变得愈来愈朦胧。等到皓月当空，满月如盘，闪烁出象牙般的清辉，山谷便成了风景中一片幽深的阴影。那些狗明白了那团光原来是他们熟悉的月亮，也安定下来，停止了吠叫。霎时间，我也觉得信心倍增，心情舒畅，几乎笑了起来。

这奇特的景观持续了一个小时。月出是缓慢而充满神奇的。观看月出，我们必须回到一种古老的、耐心的时间观念中去。观看月亮不可阻挡地升上天空，会让我们找到内心的无比安宁，我们的想象力能让我们看到宇宙的辽阔和大地的广袤，能让我们忘掉自己的存在。我们觉得自身渺小，但又深感大自然的厚待。

月色下，我们看不到生活中坚硬的棱角。山坡在月光下如同笼上了一层柔和的银纱;大海在月光下宁静碧蓝;我们在月光下也不再像白日那般心计来往，而是沉醉于自然的情感中。
