夏天的英语作文5句话带翻译简单汇集20篇

Dream is public property, everyone has a dream, there were dreams to struggle the rights. The poor are poor, because there is no struggle for the dream of courage and perseverance; The rich are rich because they fight for a dream. What can dream? Must have different definition in everybodys heart. Some people think that the dream is false; Others think unattainable dream, it really... ; I think: the dream regardless of high and low, regardless of their size, there is no false and true.

I have met all kinds of people in the pursuit of dreams, some of them because of others opposition, sitting there hesitation, some because they cant do, sitting in the depressed; Others because of his dream too far-fetched, therefore, give up your dream. I am sad also very puzzled: "why do they give up their dreams? Yao is hard work can realize their dreams, and look forward to success. But, they dont have to do so, they chose to escape?"

The ancients there is a saying: "there are paying is not necessarily return, but not paid will not return". Whether did finally get the corresponding return, but I believe that: in the stick to dream on the way, there must be a make us unexpected harvest. And, of course, everyone has the value of life in this world, there are some an unrealized dream, chasing for the dream, struggle for the dream. Dream is everyones right to the pursuit of the process is also enjoy the process. To dream into reality at that moment, you will feel the joy and pride.

So, how important it is for a dream. However, in the process of realizing our dreams, dont let the problem by the nose, but toward the dreams, let the dream for your navigation. Sometimes the biggest obstacle to achieve your dreams tend to be yourself. Love spell will win, as long as toward a target unremitting struggle finally will belong to you.

梦想是大家公共财产，每个人都有梦想，都有为梦想而奋斗的权利。穷人之所以穷，是因为没有为梦想而奋斗的勇气与可毅力;富人之所以富，是因为他们为梦想而奋斗拼搏。可梦想到底是什么?想必在每个人心中都有不同的定义。有的人认为梦想是虚假的;有的人则认为梦想高不可攀，它实在……;我认为：梦想不分高低，不分大小，也没有虚假与真实之分。

我曾经见到了各种在追求梦想的人，他们有的因遭到别人的反对，坐在那里犹豫不决，有的因碰到自己无法做的事，坐在那垂头丧气;还有的人因自己的梦想太遥不可及，因此，放弃了自己的梦想。我既难过也很不解：“为什么他们要放弃自己的梦想呢?明明是努力就可以实现自己的梦想，从而走向成功的。但是，他们没有这么做，而是选择了逃避呢?”

古人有句话说：“有付出不一定有回报，但不付出就一定没有回报”。不管最后有没有得到相应的回报，但我相信：在坚守梦想的路途中，一定会有令我们意想不到的收获。当然，每一个人都有生活在这个世界上的价值，都有一些未圆的梦，为梦而追逐，为梦而奋斗。追求梦想是每个人的权利，追求的过程也是享受的过程。到梦想变成现实的那一刻，你会感到无比喜悦，自豪。

由此可见，梦想是多么重要。不过，在实现梦想的过程中，不要被问题牵着鼻子走，而是朝着梦想前进，让梦想为自己导航。有时实现梦想的最大障碍往往是自己。爱拼才会赢，只要朝着一个目标奋斗不懈最后的灿烂将会属于你。

篇二：关于养宠物的好处

My View on The Advantage of Keeping Pets。When it comes to the topic of keeping pets， some may think it is a waste of both time and money； some people， may find it is a great joy。 As for me， I hold that keeping pets can bring me happiness。

关于饲养宠物，有的人认为这既浪费时间也浪费金钱，而有的人则认为这是乐趣所在。至于我，我认为养宠物能带来快乐。

Firstly， keeping pets can keep us company when we feel lonely。 As we know that it is impossible for us to stay with others all the time， and sometimes we have to stay all by ourselves。 At this time we may feel lonely， if you have a pet， it will help to keep company with you。 You can play with your pet and regard it as your friend。

首先，宠物能在我们感觉孤独是陪伴我们，因为我们不可能时刻都有人相伴左右，而有的时候我们更愿意独处，这个时候可能会感觉孤独，如果有宠物，它就会是很好的陪伴。我们可以和动物一起玩，可以把它当朋友。

Secondly， keeping pets makes our world more harmonious。 Animals are good friends to us human beings； it will make our world more harmonious to build friendship with them。

其次，宠物能让世界更和谐。动物是人类的好朋友，和动物建立朋友的关系将会使我们的世界更加和谐。

Last but not least， keeping pets makes us more patience。 Animal needs careful cares， and we need bath them， feed them and take them out every day， which is time consuming。 If we have a pet and can do that every day， we will become more patient。

最后，动物会使我们更有耐心。动物需要细心的照料，我们要给它洗澡、喂饭，还要每天带出去遛遛，这都很费时。如果我们有宠物，并每天这样照料它，我们会更有耐心的。

In a word， keeping pets can keep us company， make our world more harmonious and make us more patient， so I think it is a great for us to keep pets。

总的来说，宠物能陪伴我们，让我们的世界更加和谐，并锻炼我们的耐心，所以我认为养宠物对于我们来说是很好的。

Last night ,I dreamed I became a very beautiful brid. I dreamed that I was in a forest. In tht forest,there were a lot of animals. Then,an old bird told us,"we have a very beautiful forest,we should therefore protect it from pollution. "All the animals agreed with him.

I was so shocked and then I bursted out crying. I woke up at midnight. It was only a dream.

在梦中

昨晚我梦见我变成一只非常漂亮的鸟。 我梦见我在一座森林，森林里有很多动物。 然后有一只老鸟告诉我们，"我们有一座非常美丽的森林，因此我们应该保护它，免受污染"所有的动物都赞成他。

但是第二天，人们进入我们的森林，许多动物被逮捕。 这些人要在我们的森林地上建造房子和公园。 许多年老的树木被砍下，然后，突然间，一切都被夷平了。

我很震惊，接着突然大哭起来。 我在半夜醒来，原来只是个梦。

昨天已经考完试了，虽然没有拿通知书，其实也相当于放寒假了，所以我要自己对寒假有个计划。

上午，我就睡到自然醒，等爸爸妈妈上班走后，我迅速起床，自己下袋方便面吃。虽然爸爸妈妈不在家，但我也不能偷懒，吃完饭后，写几页我的《寒假乐园》，再看看课外书，然后就可以痛快地玩电脑游戏了，只不过时间不能太长了，接着再看看博友们写的博客或是看看动画片。

中午，我就写几行字帖或是一页半页都可以，然后再拿着英语课本，在点读机上读读，至少也要个十来分钟，干完后可以看电视或玩电脑，最好是下楼到健身器材那边找小朋友玩儿。

由于下午我不能呆在家里，必须跟妈妈一块儿去她办公室，计划先在办公室写几页作业，看看书，然后在院里的跳舞场和篮球场上和小朋友玩，玩玩后就可以玩一会电脑游戏了。

还有这段时间博客写得太少了，现在放假了，我得多写，计划两天一篇。

这些当然指妈妈单位没放假的时候，等到过年那几天就什么也不干，光玩了。

放寒假了，我就是这么想的，既然是放假吗，我就要痛快地玩好，但也不能不学习，我会严格要求自己的!

我的学校生活可丰富啦!在学校里和伙伴们一起学习、一起嬉戏、一起吃饭、一起打扫卫生。每天过得都很快乐、充实。我很有幸和同学认识相处在一个大家庭里。

每天早晨我们在教室里一起朗读着课文，早读课一下我们便又一起上课。在课堂上，我们仿佛又成了一个个仇人似的，恨不得老师指点自己的名字，让自己来发言。我们就是这样，上着每一节课。

我记得我在里最最幸福的时候，就是我在课堂上吐了，我的好伙伴们并没有不关心我，纷纷拿纸巾的物品给我，让我自己来擦擦自己的衣服。力气大的同学则到教室外面的水池来拿拖把，把我在地上吐得东西给脱了干净，并且把地面擦得亮如白昼。这些举动让我感到十分的欣慰。就连我在家的时候有的同学还是在问我要不要紧。我都一一的做了答复，他们也都很希望我能早日回到这个大家庭当中。这件事情对我的影响十分的大。

……

在这个大家庭当中我十分的开心。过段时间就是“六一”了，我们班又有两位同学要在班上开生日会了，那时候我们班幸福的时刻又要到了。

我爱这个大家庭，更爱我的校园生活和同学、伙伴们!

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

美味的午餐

今天上午我放学回来的时候，当我一打开门，一阵香味扑鼻而来。然后我看见我妈妈正在厨房煮菜，哇!那都是我最喜欢的食物：小龙虾、鸡翅、糖醋排骨、宫保鸡丁和清蒸鱼。我妈妈说：“你舅舅、舅妈和你小表弟得下来我们家做客。”难怪我妈妈怎么会做那么多美食。我们吃完午饭后，我感觉非常饱，因为那些菜实在很好吃，并且我已经很久没有吃过那么好吃的食物了。然后我和我的小表弟玩耍，他两岁了，胖嘟嘟的非常可爱。
