"Let me not be ashamed.Let not my enemies triumph over me.

别让我蒙羞,别让敌人在我身上奏响凯歌

Blessed be the Lord my strength,which teaches my hands to war

主是我的力量,他教会我的手战争

and my fingers to fight

他教会我的手指战斗

My goodness and my fortress.My high tower and deliverer.

我的善良和避难所.是我的高塔和解脱者

My shield and He in whom I trust.

他是我的盾牌,我所依靠的"

My Dear Mrs. Ryan

Its with the most profound sense of joy

That I write to inform you your son ,

Private James Ryan ,

Is well and , at this very moment ,

On his way home from European battlefields .

Reports from the front indicate James did his duty in combat

With great courage and steadfast dedication

Even after he was informed of the tragic loss

Your family has suffered in this great campaign

To rid the world of tyranny and oppression .

I take great pleasure in joining the secretary of war ,

The men and women of the United States Army ,

And the citizens of a grateful nation

In wishing you good health and many years of happiness

with James at your side .

Nothing ,

Not even the safe return of a beloved son ,

Can compensate you

Or the thousands of other American families

Who have suffered great loss in this tragic war .

And I might share with you some words

Which have sustained me

Through long , dark nights

Of peril , loss and heartache .

And I quote ,

I pray that our Heavenly Father

May assuage the anguish of your bereavement

And leave you only the cherished memory

Of the loved and lost

And the solemn pride that must be yours

To have laid so costly a sacrifice

Upon the altar of freedom

Abraham Lincoln

Yours very sincerely and respectfully ,

George C . Marshall , General , Chief Of Staff.

亲爱的瑞恩太太:

我满怀欣喜之情通知您,您的儿子,列兵詹姆斯.瑞恩平安无事。

此刻,他正在从欧洲战场返乡的途中。

来自前线的报告表明,

在他得知三个哥哥在这场为铲除独裁和压迫的世界大战中,不幸牺牲的消息后,仍以非凡的勇气和赤诚之心履行了他的职责。

我很荣幸的,以最高统帅和全军将士,以及对您充满感激之情的全国人民的名义

祝您,在詹姆斯瑞恩的陪伴下,幸福,安康。

任何事情,包括您的爱子归来,都无法弥补您以及千百万美国家庭在这场灾难性战争中所饱受的巨大损失。

我,恳求上帝抚平您失去爱子的哀伤,心中留下对英烈们的珍贵记忆,以及您当之无愧的为自由而奉献的神圣的自豪感

篇2:二高考作文的粗略分析

全文共 1925 字

+ 加入清单

纵观25年的高考语文卷,首先,我们可以清楚地看到,思想性一直是高考作文的主旋律。1982年的先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐,这个题目取自千古绝唱《岳阳楼记》,要求论述的是人生的价值观问题,议论的中心是苦乐观,即对吃苦与享乐、逆境与顺境等的人生态度。题句作者范仲淹是一个伟大的政治家、军事家和文学家,他那不以物喜,不以己悲的坦荡胸襟和高风亮节,能引导考生积极思考个人与集体、局部与全局、眼前与长远、荣誉与困难、权利与责任等关系。又如1992年高考作文中的记叙文,要求记叙他们中谁又怎样回来清理这个地方,试题在所提供的材料中已明确点出:运动鞋红雨衣和伞下一对,他们都有可能回来。这就是一种积极向上、向善的形式,引导广大青年从我做起,从现在做起,把爱护公共环境当作自己的自觉行动。1993年的试题要求在记叙文中赞叹老树皮,赞美新树皮,这也是一种积极的人生态度的引导,不少考生从老皮剥落,露出新皮这种自然现象,联系到社会现象,赞叹革命前辈崇高无私的奉献精神,赞美新生事物强大的生命力,等等,这样的立意就十分准确而切题。2001年和2002年分别要求围绕诚信和心灵的选择作文。在我国市场经济日益发展的今天,让当代青年学生思考和表述诚信和舍己救人等话题,显然是与社会主义精神文明建设紧密相关的。

其次,高考作文还考查学生是否掌握了较为辩证的思维方法。每年的高考作文题都是命题者集体智慧的结晶,有其深广的寓意,考生可以从若干个不同的角度去提炼中心思想。如果能选准最佳角度切入,并能揭示出论题或所提供材料中的核心问题,那么文章就会有一定的深度和分量。1996年的《我更喜欢漫画〈〉》,若就医论医,势必不能写深写透,显然也不太符合命题者的初衷。倘能就医论他,把议论和批判的矛头对准社会上形形色色类似庸医的人,就能写出立意高远的好文章来。又如1991年的近墨者黑和近墨者未必黑,这是两个完全不同的命题,分属两个完全不同的认识范畴,要求阐述的也是两个完全不同的社会问题。近墨者黑是从整体的社会现象来观察问题的,人们的社会存在决定人们的思想意识,从这个意义上说,当然是近墨者黑。近墨者未必黑则是就个体的思想表现而言的,人们都有自己的主观能动性,外因必须通过内因起作用,从这个意义上说,近墨者又未必黑。如若看不到这是两种不同的认识领域,揭示不出其内在的规律,仅仅是罗列一些现象材料,那是不能论清题旨的。再如1989年要求给处在困惑和苦恼中的好友写回信。毫无疑问,这封信的成功与否,关键取决于发友看了你的信后能否减轻乃至消除困惑和苦恼。你必须首先在好友报考重点大学历史系和一般院校以及外经贸专业三者中确定其中一个,然后再说出一些能使他信服的道理来;与此同时,还要顾及好友、班主任及父母三方面的想法和可接受的程度。只有这样,才能把信写得入情入理,既观点鲜明,又不失之于偏颇。

再次,高考作文对考生知识面的广度和文章的布局谋篇及语言文字的运用等都有较高的要求。一位考生在1988年题为《习惯》的作文中写道:如果爱迪生习惯于黑暗,那么今天我们也许还点着蜡烛;如果赵武灵王习惯于宽大的袍子和沉重的战车,也许赵国早就灭亡了;不客气地说,如果老祖宗类人猿习惯于爬着走路,那恐怕我们今天的境况就不可想象了。这位考生的知识面就较为宽广和扎实,否则就不可能把科学发明、历史演变、生物进化等方面的知识如此信手写进文章里来。1986年的作文题是《树木·森林·气候》,要求考生从现实生活中选择一个有意义的话题来发表自己的见解。这篇作文所提供的材料是带有比喻性的。对于用比喻性的材料作文,一般所采用的方法是先引用材料,稍加概括,然后转入自己确定的正题,这叫转折入题。有位考生是这样入题的:一颗树不能改变气候,只有森林才能改变气候,提起森林调节气候,我不禁想起了社会气候。类似这样的入题方法,就是掌握了斩折入题的个中要领的,它给后文的论述拓开了非常广阔的余地,让人读来备感亲切自然。文章的语言向来都有高低之分,文野之分,雅俗之分。不少高中毕业生由于长期的努力,语言的功底已较为厚实。我们高兴地看到,每年的高考作文中都有精品佳作。这些优秀作文不但思想内容健康充实,而且语言也非常精美流畅。有的考生还擅长于把一些好诗好句十分贴切地引入文章,如1993年的作文,有位考生引用沉舟侧畔千帆过,病树前头万木春来赞美新树皮,引用落红不是无情物,化作春泥更护花来赞颂老树皮,不但显得精要,也给文章平添了几许高雅。又如1995年在根据《鸟的评说》展开议论时,有的考生引用了梅须逊雪三分白,雪却输梅一段香以及骏马能历险,犁田不如牛;坚车能载重,渡河不如舟等诗句,很形象地阐明了人各有所长,又各有所短,要正确对待自己和他人的道理。

篇3:2024高考英语作文预测

全文共 1719 字

+ 加入清单

In present-day China, fast food is so popular, especially among children and teenagers, that it can be seen in every big and medium-sized city. It’s even difficult to think of any other single thing that represents the fast pace of modern society in the way that fast food does. Some people think it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal—saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. In their opinions, its popularity is also attributed to the restaurants’ clean and cozy environment, excellent service, and guaranteed quality of food and drinks.

在当今的中国,快餐非常受欢迎,尤其是儿童和青少年,这在每一个大、中型城市中都可以看出来。很难想到除了快餐还有别的任何其他单一的事物能代表现代社会的快节奏。有些人认为快餐很方便而且为他们节约了很多时间。现代社会的潮流似乎都指向一个终极目标,那就是节约时间,快餐正好迎合了这个目标。他们认为快餐的流行也归因于餐厅干净、舒适的环境,优质的服务,有质量保证的食物和饮料。

However, others maintain that fast food is usually low in nutrition and can’t be regarded as a balanced diet. For example, doctors suggest that people, especially children, eat fast food as little as possible. Besides, although cooking at home is time-consuming and the following washing-up tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body needs and likes.

然而,另外一些人认为快餐通常是低营养、不能视为均衡饮食。例如,医生建议人们,特别是孩子,尽可能少吃快餐。此外,虽然在家里做饭是耗时的,而且洗碗也很无聊,但它给你的身体提供了所需并喜欢的健康、美味食物。

As far as I’m concerned, fast food is not my best choice. For one thing, I prefer traditional spicy Chinese food. For another, being engaged in the work all day, I may spend one or two hours to prepare my favorite dishes to ensure myself a nice rest. As a result, fast food is only a good choice when I am in a hurry and resort to it once in a while.

在我看来,快餐不是我最好的选择。首先,我喜欢传统的的中国菜。另一方面,从事一整天的工作,我可能会花一两个小时来准备我最喜欢的菜来确保自己得到很好的休息。因此,快餐仅仅是我匆忙和度假时的好选择。

should internet slang be prohibited?

there are different opinions on internet slang. some students think internet slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. besides, it makes chatting on the internet quicker.

however, some other students think internet slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. also, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. the words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.

every coin has two sides. in my opinion, living in the information age, if we don’t know the internet slang, we seem to fall behind the times. it will be ok as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.

Whenwe are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of parentaldiscipline even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have to begoverned by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These are ourgrowing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance maytrouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentionedabove are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. Forexample, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss themgradually. It’s hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in theage that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence afflictsus a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts of ourlives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us fromhappiness.

小的时候,我们都渴望长大,以便能脱离父母的管束,甚至离他们远远的。自从孩提起,在学校我们就被老师管着,在家又得忍受父母的絮絮叨叨。这就是我们成长中的烦恼。此外,学习、友情,有时候甚至校园恋情都会来叨扰我们。但是,随着慢慢长大,我们逐渐发现以上这些根本称不上是成长的烦恼,还有很多更烦恼的事让我们纠结不已。例如,我们慢慢地对一些简单的快乐麻木了,于是就失去这些快乐了,我们变得很难发自内心地微笑了。还有,我们正处在渴望长大但又害怕长大的阶段,这种矛盾情绪折磨着我们。但是,不管在成长的过程中遭遇到什么,它们都是我们生活中的一部分,我们要乐观地接受,不让烦恼挤走快乐。

篇18:高考热点英语作文:共享单车

全文共 4091 字

+ 加入清单

导语:共享单车在风靡一时的同时,也面临不少问题:二维码和车架号被刮坏;单车被人丢进河、挂上树;共享单车被人上了锁、藏进家里、藏进了绿化带……下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled mode (方式) of transport’s popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.

But recent months have seen a revival (复兴) of the humble (普通的) bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do

sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, pioneered by start-ups (新兴公司) like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.

According to data compiled (编制) by iResearch Consulting Group, the first week of this year saw 5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.

People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.

“In places where the subway doesn’t extend (延伸到), where it’s difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it’s so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,” Hu Hong, 29, told AFP. She pedals (骑自行车) to her Shanghai real-estate (房地产) job.

However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and theft.

Last month, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention (行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.

And in December, a man who stole a shared bike was sentenced to a 3-month detention with a 3-month probation (缓刑期), and fined 1,000 yuan by the Shanghai Minhang People’s Court.

“Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience,” said Liu Xiaoming, vice-minister of transport. “But it’s a combination of online and offline business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems.”

In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing schemes abroad. Launched in 2007, Vélib is a large-scale public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early stage of operation, it also suffered from problems of vandalism or theft.

By Oct 2009, a large number of Vélib’s initial bikes had to be replaced due to vandalism or theft, according to The New York Times. Bikes were found hanging from lampposts (街灯柱) or thrown into the Seine River.

To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.

Now, Chinese service operators are also trying to address these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5-1 yuan.

【参考译文】

大约在30年前,中国被称为“自行车王国”。但随着自行车不久被燃油驱动的汽车所取代,这种双轮交通方式的热度开始衰退。

但在近几个月中,中国大地上见证了一场普通自行车的复兴,越来越多的人选择骑车上班上学、游览观光,而非驾车出行。而由Ofo、摩拜单车等新兴公司发起的共享单车计划,则将这一趋势带向了一个新高度。

根据艾瑞咨询集团整理的数据显示,在本年度的第一周中,摩拜单车共有585万活跃用户,而Ofo则有140万。

仅凭自己的智能手机,人们就能解锁这种共享单车。这些单车都装有全球定位系统,可以被放在公共场合的任何地方,等待下一位用户使用。它们受到了许多中国人的欢迎,因为它们有效地解决了“最后一公里”难题,即个人行程中的最后一段。

“在地铁线路覆盖不到的地方,很难换乘其他交通,用摩拜单车去你想去的地方就简单多了,”29岁的胡红(音译)在接受法新社采访时表示。在上海从事房地产行业的她都是骑自行车去上班的。

然而,这一计划也出现了一些问题,如非法停车,故意破坏和偷窃等。

上个月,北京的两名护士因在共享单车上上锁(占为己有),被处以行政拘留5天。

而在去年12月,一名男子因偷窃一辆共享单车,被上海闵行人民法院判处拘役3个月,缓刑3个月,并处罚金人民币一千元。

“共享单车是种更加绿色的出行方式,并且为用户提供了一种友好的体验,”交通部副部长刘小明表示。“但是这是一种线上和线下商业的结合。经营者的线上业务能力很强,但缺乏线下业务经验,导致了问题产生。”

事实上,这些问题在国外的共享单车体系中也同样存在。创建于2007年的Vélib是一个位于巴黎的大型公共单车共享系统。在其初期的运营中,它也曾遭遇故意损毁及偷窃等问题。

据《纽约时报》报道,截至2009年10月,由于故意损毁和偷窃问题,大量初期的Vélib自行车不得不被置换。这些自行车曾被发现挂在街灯柱上,或是被扔进了塞纳河中。

为了处理这些问题,该公司想到一个办法:鼓励人们将自行车归还至站点,并在他们下次使用时奖励免费用车时间。

现在,中国的服务经营者们也开始尝试去解决这些问题。举个例子,摩拜单车为每个用户设定了100分的信用值,行为不当将会被扣分。当信用值降到80分以下时,自行车租赁费用将会从每30分钟0.5-1元上涨到100元。

observe a child; any one will do. you will see that not a day passes in which he does not find something or other to make him happy, though he may be in tears the net moment. then look at a man; any one of us will do. you will notice that weeks and months can pass in which day is greeted with nothing more than resignation1, and endure with every polite indifference. indeed, most men are as miserable as sinners, though they are too bored to sin-perhaps their sin is their indifference2. but it is true that they so seldom smile that when they do we do not recognize their face, so distorted is it from the fied mask we take for granted3. and even then a man can not smile like a child, for a child smiles with his eyes, whereas a man smiles with his lips alone. it is not a smile; but a grin; something to do with humor4, but little to do with happiness. and then, as anyone can see, there is a point (but who can define that point?) when a man becomes an old man, and then he will smile again.

it would seem that happiness is something to do with simplicity, and that it is the ability to etract pleasure form the simplest things-such as a peach stone, for instance.it is obvious that it is nothing to do with success. for sir henry stewart was certainly successful. it is twenty years ago since he came down to our village from london, and bought a couple of old cottages, which he had knocked into one. he used his house a s weekend refuge5. he was a barrister. and the village followed his brilliant career with something almost amounting to paternal pride.i remember some ten years ago when he was made a kings counsel6, amos and i, seeing him get off the london train, went to congratulate him. we grinned with pleasure; he merely looked as miserable as though hed received a penal sentence. it was the same when he was knighted; he never smiled a bit, he didnt even bother to celebrate with a round of drinks at the "blue fo"7. he took his success as a child does his medicine. and not one of his achievements brought even a ghost of a smile to his tired eyes.

i asked him one day, soon after hed retired to potter about his garden,8 what is was like to achieve all ones ambitions. he looked down at his roses and went on watering them. then he said "the only value in achieving ones ambition is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving." quickly he moved the conversation on to a more practical level, and within a moment we were back to a safe discussion on the weather. that was two years ago.

i recall this incident, for yesterday, i was passing his house, and had drawn up my cart just outside his garden wall. i had pulled in from the road for no other reason than to let a bus pass me. as i set there filling my pipe, i suddenly heard a shout of sheer joy come from the other side of the wall.i peered over. there stood sir henry doing nothing less than a tribal war dance9 of sheer unashamed ecstasy. even when he observed my bewildered face staring over the wall he did not seem put out10 or embarrassed, but shouted for me to climb over.

"come and see, jan. look! i have done it at last! i have done it at last!"there he was, holding a small bo of earth in his had. i observed three tiny shoots out of it."and there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven."three what?" i asked."peach stones", he replied. "ive always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since i was a child, when i used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. and i used to plant them, and then forgot where i planted them. but now at last i have done it, and, whats more, i had only three stones, and there you are, one, two, three shoots," he counted.

and sir henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of simplicity.
