去美国的收获

全文共 587 字

+ 加入清单

今年暑假,我报名去参加了美国夏令营的游学旅行团。还发生了一件让我记忆一生的事情,使得这次游学不仅让我长了见识,还提醒我凡事都要认真对待,同时也暴露出了我做事粗心的缺点。

记得最后一天回到北京,我即将踏上回京的航班,我手上拿着护照高兴地过了安检,准备回家了,当走到登机口时,噩运发生了。这时我发现拿在手上的护照突然不翼而飞,而我却一点也没察觉到。当我跑到安检的地方,找了很久,没找到,回到登机口时,只剩下领队一人了,其他人已经坐飞机走了,我强忍住在眼眶里的泪水,受到了生平第一次被抛弃,孤独无助的感觉。我后悔极了,真想抽自己两下子。

领队打了个电话给我妈妈,说明了事情了经过,在电话那端也仿佛感觉到妈妈失望的语气,同时也夹杂着焦急和担心。唉~我自己怎么这么粗心,总是让父母为我担心,妈妈一定还做了很多好吃的,一定想了解我到美国的见阅,想到这次我又一次责怪自己的粗心大意,真是肠子都悔青了!后来爸妈着急得一夜没睡,早上连饭都没吃就跑去接我。

静下心来,我独自想了想,离开了家可真不好过,粗心到护照都丢了,害的我成了现在这样,世上没有后悔药,我这应该叫自作自受吧!终于深刻地知道了粗心造成的坏处,又意识到不能粗心,这次旅行比往常变得更有意义了。

这真是一次有意义的旅行啊!我获得了知识,长了见识,还知道了要改正粗心的毛病了,我的收获可真不少。因为粗心让我比其他人延迟一天和家人团聚的甜蜜。

篇1:2024年高考时事论据:柿农和美国人

全文共 933 字

+ 加入清单

美国的一个摄制组,想拍一部中国农民生活的纪录片。于是他们来到中国某地农村,找到一位柿农,说要买他1000个柿子,请他把这些柿子从树上摘下来,并演示一下贮存的过程,谈好的价钱是1000个柿子给160元人民币,折合20美元。

这位柿农很高兴地同意了。于是他找来一个帮手,一人爬到柿子树上,用绑有弯钩的长杆,看准长得好的柿子用劲一拧,柿子就掉了下来。下面的一个人就从草丛里把柿子找了出来,捡到一个竹筐里。柿子不断地掉下来,滚得到处都是。下面的人则手脚飞快地把它们不断地捡到竹筐里,同时还不忘高声大嗓地和树上的人拉着家常。在一边的美国人觉得这很有趣,自然全都拍了下来。接着又拍了他们贮存柿子的过程。

美国人付了钱就准备离开,那位收了钱的柿农却一把拉住他们说:“你们怎么不把买的柿子带走呢?”美国人说不好带,也不需要带,他们买这些柿子的目的已经达到了,这些柿子还是请他自己留着。

天底下哪有这样便宜的事情呢?那位柿农心里想。于是他很生气地说:“我的柿子很棒呢,质量好得很,你们没理由瞧不起它们。”美国人耸耸肩,摊开双手笑了。他们就让翻译耐心地跟他解释,说他们丝毫没有瞧不起他这些柿子的意思。

翻译解释了半天,柿农才似懂非懂地点点头,同意让他们走。但他却在背后摇摇头感叹说:“没想到世界上还有这样的傻瓜!”

那位柿农不知道,他的1000个柿子虽然原地没动地就卖了20美元,但那几位美国人拍的他们采摘和贮存柿子的纪录片,拿到美国去却可以卖更多更多的钱。

那位柿农不知道,在那几个美国人眼里,他的那些柿子并不值钱,值钱的是他们的那种独特有趣的采摘、贮存柿子的生产生活方式。

那位柿农不知道,一个柿子在市场上只能卖一次,但如果将柿子制成“信息产品”,一个柿子就可以卖一千次一万次甚至千千万万次。

那位柿农很地道,很质朴,很可爱。

解读;

柿农的蝇头小利比起那几个美国人的利益来说实在不算什么,故事看来是讲人与人之间的差别,其实对我们的企业决策者同样有教育意义。在企业的投资构成中,我们的决策者是像文中的柿农一样只看到眼前的比较直接的“小利益”还是能把眼光放长远一些,发现更大,但可能比较隐蔽的“大利益”呢?这可是个很大的学问。

明智的人总会在放弃微小利益的同时,获得更大的利益。看问题的角度决定事物的高度。

篇2:美国之旅

这个暑假,我和同学们一起去了美国,游览了纽约、圣地亚哥和夏威夷等多个城市。在这次旅行中,我看到了许多,学到了许多。美国之旅,让我难忘。

国际夏令营

下了飞机,乘着旅游车,欣赏着路边风景,好不兴奋。不一会儿,我们来到了一座大山面前。我翘首仰望,一眼望去看不见山顶,心中暗想:好高的山,能不能爬上去?这时,我们的领队Kous-kous和Moose一齐向我们走来。听了他们的自我介绍后,我们就一起上山。为了先目睹山上的风景,我竭尽全力不停地往上走,不一会儿就把队伍甩在了后面一大截。大伙儿拖着大箱子,好不容易才走上了山,一下子被眼前的情景惊住了:外国孩子们正在玩游戏,互相交流。据说,他们是来自世界各地的小朋友。渐渐地天色暗了下来,我和朋友们一起进入篝火会场。我们一起唱歌跳舞,一起听圣经小故事。一天很快就这么结束了。

第二天一早,老师宣布我们可以去小湖游泳,这使我开心不已,我最喜欢游泳了。我整装待发,听着老师的口令。“Let’sgo?选”我急忙跳下去,冰凉的水,一下子把我浑身的热给驱走了,我变换着各种姿势畅游着。

然后,我开始爬“冰山”。冰山虽小,但很难爬。我一只脚踩在一个把手上,一只手抓住一个把手,一步一挪……我成功了。太阳渐渐升高,我仰望天空,真希望时间可以慢一点儿。一天又一天快乐的时间过去了,眼看与各国小朋友相处交流的时间也越来越少了。这里,真让我流连忘返。

好莱坞

一个春光明媚的早晨,我和同学们一起来到了好莱坞。这里是导演和演员成名的地方。我们坐上观光车,观看摄制电影的场面;看了4D电影,和影片中人物一起享受喜悦,感受刺激;还和卡通明星们、演员们合影。最让人记忆犹新的是鬼屋,里面会不时地伸出手来或跳出一个人来,令人不寒而栗。

迪士尼

我和同学们在迪士尼乐园里游览。迪士尼乐园就像一个巨大的蛋——一个巨大的天鹅蛋,里面蕴藏着无数经典的卡通人物。我在迪士尼乐园里觉得最有趣的是三座山——“火山”、“冰山”和“太空山”。这三座山都酷似过山车的游戏。“火山”中的车既有一种炎热的感觉,又感到很快;“冰山”中的车则与“火山”相反,有点冷,也有一点慢,还经常可以看见雪怪;而游览“太空山”时间长,速度快,急转弯,让人感受刺激,还让人有一种漫步太空的感觉。

迪士尼乐园最吸引人的地方是进门的一尊铜像。这尊铜像是迪士尼的创造者和米老鼠的合影,每个路过的人都会抬头看看它。夜晚降临了,随着音乐的开始,焰火表演开始了。第一个焰火形象出现了,是米老鼠的头。焰火随着乐曲的高低而忽高忽低,忽快忽慢,多奇妙呀!

转眼已是夜晚十点了,我们只好坐车回宾馆睡觉。

我们还去了许多地方,就不一一写出来了。多棒的旅程,让我难忘!

篇4:朱自清不领美国救济粮的爱国故事

全文共 2235 字

+ 加入清单

晚年朱自清有一件事为人称道,这就是"不领美国救济粮"。

关于朱自清不领美国救济粮的始末,王彬彬先生有一文作过精细的考证,这里不赘。但有意思的是,因为此事,又因为一篇名文对此事格外论列,发生了意想不到的效果,毛泽东那篇名文《别了,司徒雷登》关于朱自清的一段是这么说的:“我们中国人是有骨气的。许多曾经是自由主义者和民主个人自由者的人们,在美国帝国主义者及其走狗国民党反动派面前站起来了。闻一多拍案而起,横眉怒对国民党的手枪,宁可倒下去,不愿屈服。朱自清一身重病,宁可饿死,不领美国的‘救济粮’。”

这篇名文在革命史上、思想上的意义不必多论。但有一个直接后果实在出人意料,这就是人们对朱自清之死的臆测。自朱自清1948年辞世至今,关于其死因,权威的说法是他"贫病交加而死",而在不少仅仅读过像上面这篇名文这样文字的读者印象中,朱自清居然是"饿死"的。不必奇怪,笔者当年束发读书,也是这么认为的。

那么朱自清"饿死"的印象从何而来?那篇名文的巨大影响力是一个因素,因为那段话从形式逻辑上讲,的确可以理解为"朱自清要么领救济粮,要么饿死",二者必居其一,既然朱自清最后没领救济粮,当然就只有"饿死"一途了。但文章的艺术不能硬套逻辑,事实上朱自清拒领美国"救济粮"是真,拒领也肯定会给他的家庭生活带来影响,但并不意味着他真的就没饭吃了。从根本上说,容易让人生出朱自清饿死印象的缘于另外一些大判断。什么样的大判断呢?朱自清所处的是一个"政治腐败、社会黑暗、民生凋敝"的时代。这个判断当然是对的,在那个黑暗时代里,岂止是知识分子,可以说除了达官贵人以外的几乎所有中国人的生活都颇为艰辛。但是在这样的大道理的下面,在主流和大局之外,应该还有支流和个案,比如像朱自清这样全国有名的文化人,他的生活似乎还不会沦落到要被饿死的地步。

朱自清实死于严重的胃溃疡。这种病的起因与生活的颠沛流离有关,日寇侵华中朱自清所服务的清华大学曾几经搬迁;战时教授们的生活水准大大降低,这也是容易引发胃病的重要因素。但教授们的生活水准究竟低到了何种程度?是否瓶无储粟屡告断炊?恐怕也不尽然,查阅朱自清的日记,可以看到,即使是在被公认生活最困难的西南联大时期,他还是经常会有饭局,而且隔三差五就会和朋友们在一起打打桥牌,很难想象,一个空着肚子的人会有心思和闲暇去斗这样的巧智。可以认为,虽然当时的知识分子处境不佳,但和大多数底层百姓相比,他们的基本生活还是有保障的,更不用说像朱自清这样名牌大学的教授了。抗战胜利后,国民党政府看不清世界大势,集中资源于内战,国统区的知识分子再一次被波及,许多学生愤然冲出校门,声势浩大的"反饥饿反内战"运动一时如火如荼。国民党发动的内战和所谓币制改革使经济接近崩溃,大多数中国人的生活都不能不大受影响,知识分子也一样,但揆诸现实,我们就会发现知识分子所受的这种影响肯定要小于一般底层群众。

《人民日报》的著名女记者金凤当年在燕京大学读书,她回忆了1947年底参加"反饥饿、反内战"游行的情景,"中午时分,学校食堂送来白面馒头和菜汤,一旁监视我们的国民党特务嘲笑我们:你们吃得那么好,还成天喊反饥饿,你们挨饿了吗?我们理直气壮地回答:我们是为老百姓反饥饿。全国老百姓不是被内战拖入绝境了吗!" 学生们对特务的反击自然是有力的,但从中也可反证我上面的判断:在校学生的生活是像金凤描述的这样,教授生活如何岂非不言自明?

具体到朱自清,其实他应该是最不容易被联想到"饿死"这一凄惨图景的。不仅因为他的声望、地位和收入水平,也由于他的病。稍有常识的人就都知道,胃溃疡这种病对进食有很多顾忌,既要禁吃某些食品,更不能多吃,稍不注意,就会呕吐,使胃大受折磨。朱自清的日记也证明了这一点。翻开1948年的日记,我们没有看到他为食物短缺而苦的记载,相反,多的倒是下面一些文字:"饮藕粉少许,立即呕吐";"饮牛乳,但甚痛苦";"晚食过多";"食欲佳,终因病患而克制";"吃得太饱";……就在他逝世前14天的1948年7月29日,也就是他在拒领美国"救济粮"宣言上签名后的第11天,他还在日记里提醒自己:"仍贪食,需当心!"

1948年8月12日,朱自清辞世。

朱自清的辞世引发了国内的纪念热潮。最值得注意的是其中杨晦、冯雪峰和以香港《大众文艺丛刊》(邵荃麟主编)"同人"名义刊发的三篇纪念文章。这三篇文章的最大亮点是强调朱自清作为"自由主义作家"向"民主战士"转变的意义——于是晚年朱自清成了一个标本,他的选择被提升为"知识分子的道路。“

晚年朱自清究竟有无"转变",发生了什么样的"转变"?各有各的说法和理由,相形之下,讨论朱自清有没有"不变的"也许更有意义。什么为朱自清坚守如一始终不变?通过阅读他那些私人化的文本,窃以为,还是他自己那句"爱平静爱自由的个人主义者"的评价可以当之。他预感到了旧时代即将终结,自己也的确在努力去适应未来新的时代,但他是否就丢弃了一直被他所认同并坚守的某些终极价值?值得探究。

1948年的朱自清有几分真实几分幻影,虽然人们喋喋不休,其实于逝者已经是无谓的事了,岂不闻"身后是非谁管得"么?

近几年,美国移民的数量与日俱增。特别是中国人越来越多。显然之所以这么多人移民美国,肯定是因为移民美国好处多。以下是移民美国好处英语作文,欢迎阅读。

The benefits of immigrating to the United States, whether you believe it or not, is an interesting phenomenon in the United States and naturalization, which is that the number of people applying for citizenship has soared in the era of immigration regulation. Last year was the most intense year for border security and illegal immigration in the United States, and the number of americans applying for citizenship last year was the highest since 1999. A similar situation occurred a decade ago. Dan, a spokesman for the U.S. citizenship and immigration services (USCIS). every time theres an immigration debate, theres always a surge in naturalization applications, says Dan Kane. Some experts believe that rising immigration, naturalization and other service costs in recent years may have pushed immigrants to apply for naturalization prior to the increase. In addition, foreigners will be keen to join us citizenship and, of course, the top ten benefits of naturalization.

Top 10 benefits of joining us citizenship:

1. The citizenship of the United States can be applied to many relatives as permanent residents in the United States according to the immigration law. There is no limit on the number of people and the time for waiting for the green card is much shorter. Along with a unique, that is, if you are a citizen of the United States, you can in your immediate family (including spouse, parents and unmarried minor child (children) in the United States during the visit (s) to apply for immigrants to him, and he (they) dont have to leave the country to do procedure, as long as with immigration give receipt can legally to stay in American waiting for the final approval of immigration, and not of little chance, its just a matter of waiting for the length of time.

Most people dont want to commit a crime, but maybe in the wrong time, in the wrong place, we are victims of some kind of situation, but as American citizens, we will not be expelled from the country. American citizens do not have to worry about losing a green card or staying abroad for a long time.

4. Retired U.S. citizens can enjoy all social security benefits, and green card holders can only enjoy half the benefits.

5. U.S. citizens have the right to elect federal, state and local government officials. Some countries, including Ireland, the United Kingdom and Canada, recognize dual citizenship, allowing americans to retain their original nationality and passport. U.S. green card holders are not elected and elected before they enter the country.

American citizens can have more jobs and jobs. Only citizens can be elected to elected municipal, state and federal government posts. Many federal, state and municipal jobs recruit only U.S. citizens.

An adopted or biological child under the age of 18 can automatically become an American citizen. If a child is born outside the United States and is unmarried and under the age of 18, the child may be naturalized when his or her parents are naturalized.

American citizens have more financial and tax incentives, are often easier to get loans and get better lending rates because lenders think they are less likely to run for debt.

When you become an American citizen, you dont have to worry about a green card every 10 years.

Different social attitudes: The british are, in some ways, less conservative than Americans - the drinking age is 18, not 21, homosexual civil unions are legal, and abortion hasnt been a serious political issue in years. Mixing religion and politics is extremely rare in the UK. On the other hand, there are stricter controls on some things - its much harder to get a driving licence, and the age requirement is higher than in most states, there are speed cameras everwhere, CCTV cameras in many public places (although they may or may not be working), and carrying weapons or other objects for "self defence" is illegal (in particular, note that pepper spray is illegal).

Getting into a debate about the right to bear arms will be very time consuming, and may also lead people to think that youre a gun-nut before theyve got to know you properly.

Smoking in enclosed public places is illegal - that includes pubs, the underground, train stations... more or less any non-residential building actually... (similar to New York, so not so much of a cultural difference there).

当代青少年多数都很羡慕美国日本富裕的生活及其轿车、电器,然而,你知道他们是多么珍惜时间吗?早在200多年前美国还没独立的时候,美国启蒙运动的开创者、科学家、实业家和独立运动的领导人之一富兰克林就在他编撰的《致富之路》一书中收入了两句在美国流传甚广、掷地有声的格言:"时间就是生命","时间就是金钱"。20世纪90年代初,中国辽宁青年参观团在日本出席一个会议,出国前团长准备了厚厚一叠发言稿,可是届时日方官员递上的会序表却写着:"中方发言时间:10点17分20秒至18分20秒。"发言时间仅为一分钟。这在那些"一杯茶水一支烟,一张报纸看半天"的人看来,似乎不可思议,而在日本却是极为平常的。日本从工人到学者,时间观念都非常强。他们考核岗位工人称不称职的基本标准就是在保证质量的前提下单位时间的劳动量,时间一般精确到秒。

篇8:美国科幻电影《时间规划局》观后感

全文共 2063 字

+ 加入清单

在《时间规划局》里,人们到了25岁就不再会变老。但是为了缓解人口过多带来的压力,所有人的胳膊里都被植入了一个计时的装置,只要到了时间,人就会死掉。时间成为了奢侈的一般等价物,可以

支付和买卖,这就造成了社会的两极分化。有钱人能购买时间,穷人要么走上铤而走险的“偷时间”的歧途,或者只有等死。这样的故事情节很容易能让人想起来拍摄于1976年的著名反乌托邦科幻片《

我不能死》。在那部电影里,人们一样受着固定的死亡时间的煎熬。

可是,关于《时间规划局》和《我不能死》之间联系的猜测,却得到了导演安德鲁·尼科尔的反对,他说:“这两部电影存在着明显的区别,在《我不能死》中,人们是有一个固定的死亡的时间点的

,到了那个年龄,人必须会死。可是在我们的电影里,情况却恰恰相反,影片中的人物可以永远地生存下去,只要你购买到了时间就可以。这是一个基因上的设定,也是这部科幻电影的基础。我并不觉

得在《我不能死》中也有这样的一个设定。因为这种设定,《时间规划局》就出现了一种很有意思的现象,所有角色在剧本中的法律年龄都是25岁或者是25岁以下的。有的人可以不死,有的人只能等死

。而后续的一系列故事,都是围绕着延长自己生命的时间,延缓计时器归零而展开的。当然,这其中还有一些阴谋、**和起义的情节。”

在很多人眼中,《时间规划局》只是一部动作片,科幻不过是一件上演动作场面的外衣而已。可是安德鲁·尼科尔却并不这么看,他觉得这部电影是对现代社会的一个讽刺。他说:“很多人看来,这

首先是一部动作惊悚片,它的确也是这样,因为片中有很多枪战、飞车、肉搏的动作场面,尤其是阿曼达·塞弗里德还在影片中耍了一通枪械。但是,还会有很多人意识到,这不仅仅是一部动作片。他

们会觉得这部电影是对现在社会的一个讽刺,因为我们有太多的人希望青春永驻了,他们想尽了一切办法来延缓自己的衰老并推延死亡的到来。虽然我们现在对衰老的基因无能为力,但我们还是在保住

青春上无所不用其极。所以我就在电影中设置了一种死亡时间可以人类控制的情景,并告诉所有人,永葆青春其实是一件很可笑、对生命不重视的事情。在我的影片中有一个很有趣的角色,他得到了所

有人都羡慕的上千年的存活时间,也在这个地球上活了105年,但是他却想死。在基因工程这么快发展的今天,人类真的有可能可以控制死亡时间,但是却没有办法控制心智和思想的成熟。这个角色在电

影中说‘肉体只是浮云,思想才能永存’。他的这种想法和我们当中的一些害怕死亡的人的想法相反,我觉得这才是那种不朽的角色。”

说实在话本人看完这部片后,的确这部片时对现实社会的讽刺,为什么我们中国人穷人越穷,富人越富?我们的活着也许就像片里面的,只为少数人而活着,而那少数人就是富人,当权者。中国的现

实状态,资本家在国内剥削工人阶层,而身为代表工人利益的共产党却站在资本那边!!对国外还说我们是社会主义国家,所谓特色只是披着社会主义的外衣,内里面确实不折不扣的资本主义!!我们

工人在生产线上做累做死,还说要你感恩企业!地方搞的地方保护主义,在现今这个社会的的确确把地方的企业搞死,对外企我们严格要求,对自己人我们睁眼闭眼,出了事故息事宁人;自己人剥削工

人叫做按照法律办事?外企剥削工人说是“剥削”法律严惩?而事实外企往往有合约精神的,能够按照劳动法。而所谓自己人的企业大多数都是欺诈自己人,日子久了人就会越来越多的往外企去发展,

而以前名声不好的企业都会被工人淘汰掉,所以现在老是说缺工人缺技术。我问:你们是不是还缺了一样东西——缺德!!!

再看这部影片,影片里头有这么一句话:“得到永生的往往都是少数人,我要得到永生,所以你们就得死。”而现实老板要财富,你们就要被我压榨!事实往往社会要进步就是需要欲望,而社会的进

步破坏了人类的秩序那么我们所期待的进步到底是什么?就像战争一样,如果每个士兵都是为了保护人民,那么战争只是一场巨大的自然选择而已。而真正保护人民的士兵是不是每个都是?社会是单纯

的,人是复杂的。就好像说钱,为什么我要赚钱?答案:我要活下去!而你要活下去社会才会发展,而现实社会满足不了人的需求,那么这个社会的少数人就会被淘汰——起义。而事实相反的是拿少数

人造就为自己做好了防御,人家从教育开始就把你教到变成了功利主义,开始学会贪生怕死,并逐步的变成了他们所需要的人。从小的时候就说不能输在起跑线上,那么我问你为什么不能输在起跑线上

?一个人是否具有独立人格,那是区别你是否一个人。盲目跟随盲目随众,就是现在人的特点。说反击你们真的反击不起,人家用“方便”让你渐渐失去行动能力,用电脑代替你的猪脑,用教科书让你

失去求知能力,用数量来磨灭你的独立.......

在这个国家穷人有病等死,富人有病砸钱。电影中少数人可以不死,大多数人等死。而造成贫富这原因的人们都是归罪于:起跑线.....富人为了越富就给钱给穷人要求穷人为他工作,而穷人为了活下去,为了要变富人。往往都会中了富人的圈套,就像驴子永远吃不到的红萝卜一样,穷人永远都是只有驴子的份。因为你的思想跟你的大多数人一样。

There really is no place like New York City.As says,it has diversity,energy,and attitude -- available 24 hours a day.

篇10:美国大峡谷游记

全文共 810 字

峡谷全长347千米,宽6至29千米,深1600米。位于美国西部亚利桑那州北部的凯巴布高原上,1869年被美国独擘炮兵少校约翰·卫斯莱·鲍威尔带领的一支探险小分队发现。1919年,威尔逊总统批准将它辟为国家公园,总面积达1100平方千米。大峡谷国家公园于1980年列入世界遗产名录。

含括了美国西南风物的精典、众多的国家公园,陨星撞击的巨坑,扑朔迷离的峡谷、大台阶状的绚彩断层,硅化木集群,隐藏的印地安崖居遗迹,神秘的化外天地。

“不管你走过多少路,不管你见过多少名山大川,这个科罗拉多大峡谷,色调是那么新奇,结构是那么宏伟,仿佛只能存在于另一个世界,另一个星球。”这是美国早年的自然学家、探险家约翰·缪尔(JohnMuir)在1890年游历大峡谷后,对大峡谷一段中肯的描述。

有美国“音乐山水画家”之称作曲家格罗菲1920年游历了大峡谷之后,激起了强烈的创作欲望。此后他用了近十年的时间,多次前往大峡谷观察、体验,以其鲜明的音乐形象描绘大峡谷的雄伟、壮观和变幻无穷的美,创作出《大峡谷》交响组曲,被称为“一部用音符写成的游记”。

到大峡谷,第一眼就感受到从未有过的震慑和惊异。感叹在现代文明不断征服大自然的同时,却仍然留下了如此壮丽的原始洪荒。描绘大峡谷是十分困难的,你很难用语言表达大峡谷的景色,只能在亲临大峡谷后,用心灵去感知她的庄严、静穆和深邃,领略造物主赋予大峡谷的瞬息变幻和亿万年的寂寥。

大峡谷位于北美洲内陆,横贯于亚利桑那州和犹他州之间。这里气候干燥,幅员辽阔,有奇岩、红土、峡谷和印第安风情。美国西部电影里,常常描绘的一百年前那些劫富济贫、匡扶正义的孤胆英雄或牛仔豪杰,骑马挎枪,风驰电掣地走过寸草不生的红土峡谷,越过激流汹涌的科罗拉多河,以及夕阳斜照下无边无际、路途茫茫的如画镜头,大都是在这里拍摄的。美国西部西南四州——亚利桑那州、犹他州、科罗拉多州、新墨西哥州,也自然成为旅游者体验西部牛仔生活的理想之地。

我们去了两个国家公园:大峡谷国家公园和优诗美地国家公园。大峡谷浩瀚辽阔,非常壮观;优诗美地风景绮丽,还有很多可爱的小动物,两个公园各有特色,都很美!

我们还去了很多城市:洛杉矶、旧金山、拉斯维加斯、圣地亚哥。让我感受到了不同城市的喧闹与繁华。

旅行中,我们租借了一辆大型房车,第一次开房车旅行,我感觉十分兴奋。房车里什么都有,厨房、卫生间、餐桌、大床,就像一个移动的家。我们在车里画画、看书、吃饭、睡觉,很有趣的体验。

我和我的两个美国表弟相处也非常融洽。他们喜欢运动,喜欢搭积木,喜欢画画。非常可爱!我觉得美国小朋友每天都很开心,自由自在,而中国小朋友,每天都在写作业,很辛苦!

在美国,我度过了一个充实而又快乐的暑假!

下面是小编整理的2016年美国总统大选特朗普演讲稿(英文版+视频),欢迎阅读。

Thank you. Thank you very much, everyone. Sorry to keep you waiting. Complicated business, complicated. Thank you very much.

Ive just received a call from secretary Clinton. She congratulated us. It’s about us. On our victory, and I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign.

I mean she fought very hard. Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.

I mean that very sincerely. Now it is timefor America to bind the wounds of division, have to get together, to all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.

It is time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all of Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, Im reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country. As Ive said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and great movement, made up of millions of hard-working men and women who love their country and want a better, brighter future for themselves and for theirfamily.

It is a movement comprised of Americans from all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs, who want and expect our government to serve the people, and serve the people it will.

Working together we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American dream. Ive spent my entire life in business, looking at the untapped potential in projects and in people all over the world.

That is now what I want to do for ourcountry. Tremendous potential. Ive gotten to know our country so well. Tremendous potential. It is going to be a beautiful thing. Every single American will have the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. Were going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it. We will also finally take care of our great veterans who have been so loyal, and Ivegotten to know so many over this 18-month journey.

The time Ive spent with them during this campaign has been among my greatest honors.

Our veterans are incredible people. We willembark upon a project of national growth and renewal. I will harness the creative talents of our people and we will call upon the best and brightest to leverage their tremendous talent for the benefit of all. It is going to happen. We have a great economic plan. We will double our growth and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world. At the same time we will get along with all other nations, willing to get along with us. We will be. We will have great relationships. We expect to have great, great relationships. No dream is too big, no challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach.

America will no longer settle for anything less than the best. We must reclaim our countrys destiny and dream big and bold and daring. We have to do that. Were going to dream of things for our country, and beautiful things and successful things once again.

I want to tell the world community that while we will always put Americas interests first, we will deal fairly witheveryone, with everyone.

All people and all other nations. We will seek common ground, not hostility, partnership, not conflict. And now I would like to take this moment to thank some of the people who really helped me with this, what they are calling tonight a very, very historic victory.

First I want to thank my parents, who I know are looking down on me right now. Great people. Ive learned so much from them. They were wonderful in every regard. They are truly great parents. I also want to thank my sisters, Marianne and Elizabeth who are here with us tonight. Where are they? Theyre here someplace. Theyre very shy actually.

And my brother Robert, my great friend.Where is Robert? Where is Robert?

My brother Robert, and they should be on this stage but thats okay. Theyre great.

And also my late brother Fred, great guy. Fantastic guy. Fantastic family. I was very lucky.

Great brothers, sisters, great, unbelievable parents. To Melania and Don and Ivanka and Eric and Tiffany and Barron, I love you and I thank you, and especially for putting up with all ofthose hours. This was tough.

This was tough. This political stuff is nasty and it is tough. So I want to thank my family very much. Really fantastic. Thank you all. Thank you all. Lara, unbelievable job. Unbelievable. Vanessa, thank you. Thank you very much. What a great group.

Youve all given me such incredible support, and I will tell you that we have a large group of people. You know, they kept saying we have a small staff. Not so small. Look at all of the people that we have. Look at all of these people.

And Kellyanne and Chris and Rudy and Steve and David. We have got tremendously talented people up here, and I want to tell you its been very, very special.

I want to give a very special thanks to our former mayor, Rudy Giuliani. Hes unbelievable. Unbelievable. He traveled with us and he went through meetings, and Rudy never changes. Where is Rudy. Whereis he?

[Chanting "Rudy"]

Gov. Chris Christie, folks, wasunbelievable. Thank you, Chris. The first man, first senator, first major,major politician — let me tell you, he is highly respected in Washington because he is as smart as you get, senator Jeff sessions. Where is Jeff? Agreat man. Another great man, very tough competitor. He was not easy. He was not easy. Who is that? Is that the mayor that showed up? Is that Rudy?

Up here. Really a friend to me, but Illtell you, I got to know him as a competitor because he was one of the folks that was negotiating to go against those Democrats, Dr. Ben Carson. Wheresbeen? Where is Ben? By the way, Mike Huckabee is here someplace, and he is fantastic. Mike and his familiar bring Sarah, thank you very much. Gen. Mike Flynn. Where is Mike? And Gen. Kellogg. We have over 200 generals and admirals that have endorsed our campaign and there are special people. We have 22 congressional medal of honor people. A very special person who, believe me, Iread reports that I wasnt getting along with him. I never had a bad second with him. Hes an unbelievable star. He is -- thats right, how did you possibly guess? Let me tell you about Reince. Ive said Reince. I know it. I know it. Look at all of those people over there. I know it, Reince is a superstar. I said, they cant call you a superstar, Reince, unless we win it. Like secretariat. He would not have that bust at the track at Belmont.

Reince is really a star and he is the hardest working guy and in a certain way I did this. Reince, come up here. Get over here, Reince.

Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. Its about time you did this right. My god. Nah, come here. Say something.

[Reince Priebus: Ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the united States, Donald Trump! Thank you. Its been anhonor. God bless. Thank God.]

Amazing guy. Our partnership with the RNC was so important to the success and what weve done, so I also have to say,Ive gotten to know some incredible people.

The Secret Service people. Theyre tough and theyre smart and theyre sharp and I dont want to mess around with them, I can tell you. And when I want to go and wave to a big group of people and they rip me down and put me back down in the seat, but they are fantastic people so I want to thank the Secret Service.

And law enforcement in New York City, theyre here tonight. These are spectacular people, sometimes underappreciated unfortunately, we appreciate them. So its been what they call an historic event, but to be really historic, we have to do a great job and I promise you that I will not let you down. We will do a great job. We will do a great job. I look very much forward to being your president and hopefully at the end of two years or three years or four years or maybe even eight years you will say so many of you worked so hard for us, you will say that — you will say that—that was something that you were — really were— very proud to do and I can — thank you very much—and I can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. Were going to get to work immediately for the American people and were going to be doing a job that hopefully you will be so proud of your president. You will be so proud. Again, its my honor.

Its an amazing evening. Its been an amazing two-year period and I love this country. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Thank you to Mike Pence.

篇13:美国独特文化作文及翻译

全文共 15203 字

为什么美国文化独特

American culture is unique because it is nurtured, formed and developed under certain conditions, which are characteristically(特性)American. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.

1. Rough Environment

The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American. The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遗产) of American.

2. Ethnic Diversity

The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races, nationalities, and religions. People refer to the United States as "melting pot "and the dominant people are British. American is made up of WASP MM, that is, White, Anglo Saxon, Protestants plus Middle Class and Male. In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times. They brought their own culture to American and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

3. Plural religion

The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Christianity(基督教) is the dominant religion in American and Protestant (新教)is predominate(主导)。 Any individuals are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea. Under the protestant, many new ones are formed and different explanations produce different sect of religion. Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars. The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion. So there are more religions in American than in other countries.

4. Current influence:

Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. Many Americans live in mobile homes whose homes are built with wheels. They can be moved. The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences(住所) every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic. American democracy means majority rule, but it also means protection of minority rights. There are certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority. Americans also like to be involved in many challenge activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits. All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.

From the facts above, we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated, formed and developed by the main three factors, rough environment, ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.

美国人最喜欢的小食品鸡翅

From its humble beginnings and unlikely origins, the chicken wing has become one of Americas best-loved snack foods.

The chicken wing first evolved from soup stock staple to American delicacy in 1964. John E. Harmon, in his Atlas of Popular Culture of the Northeastern United States, points to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y. as the birthplace of wings. In 40- plus years, chicken wings have become a truly all-American food, showing up on dinner tables, at neighborhood bars, and in chain restaurants, pizza joints and even restaurants where the wings themselves are the focus.

Pace Foods has improved on the original formula for chicken wings with a recipe that combines the spice of Pace Picante Sauce, the sweetness of honey and the zest of fresh ginger to create Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings.

"Pace Picante Sauce isnt just for dipping,"said Chris Foley with Pace Foods. "A recipe like Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings, which combines sweet and spicy flavors of the Old Southwest and the Far East, shows how versatile, and yet how easy, it can be in cooking."

With this recipe, Pace Foods had taken the delicacy created in snowy Buffalo and made it the perfect summer food.

鸡翅越来越成为美国人最喜欢的小食品。1964年的时候它首先是在汤里出现的。John E. Harmon在他的美国东北部通俗文化地图集里指出鸡翅已经成为全美真正的食物,它在晚餐桌上,在邻居酒吧里,在连锁餐饮店里,在比萨店里,甚至在一些餐馆里它是主打菜。

美国 Alagnak Wild River(奔河)

Alagnak Wild River is located in the beautiful Aleutian Range. The river provides unparalleled opportunities to experience the wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula.

The Alagnak Wild River, designated as a wild river by Title VI, Section 601(25) and 603(44) of ANILCA, preserves the upper 56 miles of the river in a free-flowing condition, and protects the river and its immediate environments for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The river is managed free of impoundments and diversion, inaccessible by road, its shorelines primitive and its water unpolluted. The Alagnak is the most popular fly-in fishery in southwest Alaska, and has experienced a significant increase in use over the last several years. The Alagnak Wild River protects populations of all five species of pacific salmon, was well as significant rainbow trout, arctic char, arctic grayling, and northern pike populations. The increasing sport fishery on the river is a topic of concern to many subsistence users and other local residents.

夏天是美国人旅游的好季节

Its summertime, and the livinis easy. For many Americans, this is the season to travel. Why? Because school is out. Because the weather is great. And most of all, because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break, they often head for their favorite vacation spot.

Throughout their history, Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived, they settled along the East Coast. But they werent content to stay there. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western territories. Later, settlers moved west to develop these new areas. As a result of this westward migration, Americans eventually occupied the whole continent-from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Even today, Americans seem unable to stay put. Research says that the average American moves every five years.

Besides their habit of changing addresses, Americans are used to traveling. Some people make long-distance commutes to work daily. Their jobs may even require them to take frequent business trips. Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles (RVs) to camp out in comfort, while others "rough it"by sleeping in tents.

Most Americans prefer to travel within their nations borders. Why? For one thing, its cheaper than traveling abroad, and theres no language problem. But besides that, the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains, canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.

Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly"vacation resorts offer special programs for children. History buffs seek out famous historical sites and museums. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations."These trips allow them to observe flora and fauna up-close without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing, skiing or white-water rafting. Daring souls get the thrill of a lifetime on trekking expeditions and safaris in remote places from Africa to Asia.

Americans arent the only people in the world who travel. International business, mass communication and jet airplanes have created a world of globetrotters. People all over the world enjoy going abroad to travel. And no matter where they live, people enjoy visiting scenic spots in their own country. But being on the go makes Americans what they are: people on the move. In America, almost every-body is a tourist sometime.

夏天到了,生活很惬意。对很多美国人来说,这是个旅游的季节,为什么?因为学校放假,因为天气很好,但最重要的是,休个假是我们所应得的。美国人休假时经常会去他们最喜欢的渡假地点。

纵观整个历史,美国人一直是个迁移的民族。早期的移民者必须长途跋涉才能抵达新大陆,他们一到达就沿着东岸定居,但却不满于长居那地,冒险家和商人旅行至未知的西部地区。稍后,移民者也向西迁移去开发这些新地区。由于向西迁移,美国人最后占据了整块新大陆——从大西洋到太平洋。即使到今天,美国人似乎仍然无法在一地久居。根据研究,美国人平均每五年要搬一次家。

除了搬家的习惯以外,美国人也很习惯旅行。有些人每天上下班得做长距离的通勤,工作上甚至经常需要因公旅行。大部分的公司每年会提供年假给员工,人们通常会利用这段时间去旅行。有些人去远一点的别州拜访朋友或亲戚,有些则在周末有个经济的小假期,并住在花费不高的旅馆里。品味较昂贵的人选择豪华的渡假地点和饭店;绝佳的户外露营则吸引冒险型的人。有些人开着旅行车出游,以舒适的方式露营;有些人则睡帐篷尝试野外生活。

大部分美国人比较喜欢在国内旅游,为什么呢?其中一个原因是,国内旅游比国外旅游便宜,也没有语言不通的问题。但除此原因以外,占地极广的美国国土提供了许多能吸引游客的地点。爱好大自然的人可以到海滩、山上、峡谷、湖泊和很多大自然奇景地区游览。大城市也提供给游客们很多都市型态的娱乐。现代高速公路、铁路和飞机使得在美国旅行很容易。

很多美国假期非常特别,和参与此种假期的人一样特别。全家出游时通常会将孩子考虑在内,有愈来愈多「适合全家出游」的渡假地点为孩子提供特别的活动。对历史有兴趣的人会找一些著名的历史据点和博物馆。有环保意识的人喜欢「环保假期」,这样的旅行使他们能近距离观察动植物,并且不会扰乱了大自然敏感的生态平衡。有些人觉得海上旅游能使心情放松并感到清爽,有些人则到水边钓鱼、滑水或泛舟。胆子大的人到亚洲和非洲去探险狩猎作长途旅行,享受一辈子难得一次的刺激。

美国人不是世上唯一爱旅行的人。国际企业、大众传播与喷射机创造了一个环游世界者的世纪。全世界的人都喜欢到海外旅游,不管住在那里,人们都喜欢去造访自己国家内风景优美的地区。不过好动的本性使美国人变成今天的模样:成为爱迁移的人。在美国,几乎每个人都有旅游的经验。

美式食物:吃什么就成为什么样子

"You are what you eat."Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating habits. What we put in our mouths does become a part of us. But we can look at this statement another way. What we eat reflects who we are——as people and as a culture. Do you want to understand another culture? Then you ought to find out about its food. Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture.

What is "American food"? At first you might think the answer is easy as pie. To many people, American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and pizza. If you have a "sweet tooth,"you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies. Its true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of vittles you can find in America?

Except for Thanksgiving turkey, its hard to find a typically "American"food. The United States is a land of immigrants. So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people move to America, they bring their cooking styles with them. Thats why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America. In some cases, Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites. Americans love Italian pizza, Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls. But the American version doesnt taste quite like the original!

As with any large country, the U.S.A has several distinct regions. Each region boasts its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine. Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes. Travel through the Midwest, "the breadbasket of the nation,"for delicious baked goods. Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats. Finish your food tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.

Americans living at a fast pace often just "grab a quick bite."Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice. Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap. Of course, one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich. If it can fit between two slices of bread, Americans probably make a sandwich out of it. Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time American favorite.

Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food."Potato chips, candy bars, soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats. Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks. But others opt for more healthy eating habits. Some even go "all natural."They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives.

American culture is a good illustration of the saying "you are what you eat."Americans represent a wide range of backgrounds and ways of thinking. The variety of foods enjoyed in the U.S. reflects the diversity of personal tastes. The food may be international or regional. Sometimes its fast, and sometimes its not so fast. It might be junk food, or maybe its natural food. In any case, the style is all-American.

"你吃什么就成为什么样子"营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯,入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分。但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话,我们所吃的反映出我们自己——不论就人或文化而言。你想了解另一种文化吗?那么你应该去认识他们的食物。认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。

何谓「美式食物」?乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言,美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人,你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西,但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗?

除了感恩节火鸡以外,挺难找到典型的美国食物。美国是个移民之地,所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家,当人们移居美国,他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情况中,美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。美国人喜爱意大利的披萨,墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷,但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地!

和许多大国一样,美国有数个截然不同的地区,每个地区都以自己特有的食物夸口。走访美国南部享受乡村式的烹调;到路易斯安纳州品尝辛辣的凯郡式料理;走一趟新英格兰试尝它美味的海鲜;再到中西部「美国的面包之乡」品尝可口的烘培食品;乘船游览至西南部尝试一些好吃的墨式德州小吃,最后到太平洋西北岸,啜饮美食家的咖啡,作为美食之旅的句点。

生活在快速步调之下的美国人通常只能「很快地吃几口」。快餐店提供赶时间的人各种食物,从炸鸡到炒饭,应有尽有。微波炉晚餐和实时餐点使得在家烧饭省事又快速。当然,最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。任何能夹在两片土司中间的东西,美国人就可以把它作成一份三明治,花生酱和果酱更是一直都深受美国人的喜爱。

忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴,但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯,有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物,他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。

美国文化是「你吃什么就成为什么样子」这句话的好写照。美国人代表了范围广泛的背景和想法。在美国可享受到的各式食物正反映出个人品味的多样化。这食物可能是国际性也可能是地区性的;有时是快餐,有时也不见得;它可能是垃圾食物,也可能是天然食品。然而无论如何,它们都是美式的。

篇14:美国游记

寒假终于到了,我们因为有演出任务,可以顺便去美国旅游一趟,坐了一天的飞机,终于到达了美国!我们先到达了风景宜人的夏威夷,还去了所有孩子梦想的乐园“迪士尼”,并且参观了耶鲁大学等,这趟出游不仅开阔了我眼界,还让我感受到了很多不一样的民族文化和放假的轻松愉快!

参观的第一个地方是夏威夷,小时候总听大人们说夏威夷漂亮,今日一见果不其然!那里风和日丽,景色宜人。然后到了珍珠港,并在那合了影,还看了历史记录片。第二天我们去了威基基海滩。这次比第一天更有趣。在沙滩上我们听老师讲完注意事项,迫不及待的集结了5个人一起玩儿“对抗海水”。有的用手,有的用脚,有人挖沙子,有人加固沙堡,可谓是调配得当啊!可是看上去坚固的沙堡在海水面前却显得很脆弱:海水一冲上来沙堡的底部就少了很多沙子,这时我们就要用大量的干沙子来填充弥补!这样海水刚冲上来几次我们就忙的手脚并用了,该补的补,该修的修,但最还是没有海水的速度快,很快海水胜利了。我们的城堡在海水中慢慢消失了,但是这份美好的记忆却留在了我们的心里。我们要走了,要离开威基基海滩,要离开夏威夷了,心中很是不舍,带着心中的不舍我们走了!

第三天我们从夏威夷走了,坐飞机还去了洛杉矶,波士顿,纽约,纽黑文,和华盛顿。但是最令我留恋和喜欢的地方就得数洛杉矶的迪士尼乐园啦!盼望着,盼望着,洛杉矶来了,迪士尼的脚步近了!经过了漫长的颠簸终于到了迪士尼了,全车人都沸腾了,唯独老师还那么淡定,还不忘叮嘱我们:“别一会儿玩的忘了时间,守时最重要啊!”,老师刚发完票,我和我的好朋友就一起冲进了迪士尼。当我们看好多人都往一个方向走时就使了一个小聪明:反方向走!果然不出我们所料,我们到地方没有那么多人排队,还没有一个小时,我们就玩儿了好几个项目,比其他人快很多,我们同行四个人连连称赞这条路选的好。就这样我们来到了矿山车这里,“矿山车,玩儿这个吧!”我提议说。四人一致通过,我们向矿山车进发!到了那儿,我们谁都没说话,只是互相对视了一眼,立刻默契的像箭一样冲了过去。说着,笑着,走着,我们兴奋地坐上了车,大家都很期待,每个人都想体验一下矿山车,我们坐下后都很轻松的说笑着,突然车子以迅雷不及掩耳之势冲了出去,我“啊”的大叫出来,这时只看到两边的物体和人飞一般的闪过去,耳旁的风也呼呼的,所有的物体都几乎看不清了!车子不断地急转弯,我们的身体也跟着车子一起倾斜,感觉好像要飞出去了。“哇,好快啊!”同学们都被惊住了,“抓好啦,一个大斜坡儿!”我们所有人都忍不住尖叫起来,车子带着我们在空中不断的飞翔,有一种要飞向天空的感觉,我的围巾随着风左摆右摆,要飞出去了我下意识的伸手把它抓住了,我吓出了一身冷汗。一只手抓着扶手,一只手高举拿着围巾,它在空中飘舞着!车上的叫喊声一次高过一次,虽然开始很害怕但是我们慢慢适应后感觉很爽,就在我们沉浸其中的时候,矿山车停止了,车子平稳了。我们有些意犹未尽。从车上下来我们四人异口同声的感叹着:“爽”!接着我们又去玩了其它的项目,美好的时光总是过得很快,转眼间,黄昏来了,我们要走了“迪士尼”,再见吧!

美国之行结束了,但是那里的人们那里欢笑,还有一路上的同学情谊,都让我难以忘怀,通过这次美国旅游我感受到了不同国家的文化差异,切身感受了夏威夷美丽的威基基海滩……坐飞机回到了中国,心里默念着:再见吧!美国!再见吧,寒假!

这是一个华丽,庄严的地方,舞台灯光缭绕。刹那间“舞王”闪上了舞台,他那酷炫的舞蹈迷住了所有观众,这时舞伴出现,虽然只有七个人,但他们那俊雅的舞姿,飞腾的脚步,就像有魔力般。摇滚乐刹然而止,“舞王”停住了,舞伴也停住了,台下鸦雀无声,突然间雷鸣般的掌声响彻云霄,像一条赋满激情的巨龙在音乐缭绕的剧院上空盘旋。

这就是美国瑰宝舞蹈团《美国舞蹈巡礼》中的一幕。在这次演出中,有美国爵士舞、百老汇歌舞和现代舞。爵士舞是一种有动感的舞蹈,它是由黑人带到美国,然后成为美国大众舞蹈之一。我最喜欢爵士舞。因为它的舞步活泼欢畅,富有青春的激情,在绚丽的灯光下,自由放飞舞蹈的梦想......

这真是一场视觉的盛宴!

这是一很好的片子,但人各有好,我更喜欢柯恩兄弟或姜文拍的那种,带些梦幻色彩,带些悬念的影片。比如柯恩的那部《哥们你在哪里?》我就连看了两遍,非常喜欢。《死亡诗社》是一个古老的、关于守旧与创新、现实与浪漫、新人与老人两股势力二元较量的影片。这是一个类型片,是按公式制作出来的,然而,“魔鬼尽在细节里”,近乎完美的摄影与演出,将这个老套的故事,演绎得美轮美奂。

这部影片很是激发人的思考。考试上名校做医生赚大钱娶美女,并非中国学生的专利。尼尔的父亲也和一个普通中国家长一样,望子成龙,扼杀他的表演兴趣,逼他好好学习,以后上哈佛医学院,结果这小子想不开,开枪自杀了。学校正好要找理由收拾搅翻了一潭水、鼓励学生张扬个性,培养爱好的新来老师 Keating,于是将尼尔之死归咎于他。新来老师被逼走,可是他失去饭碗,得到了不少学生的心。电影的结局是开放的。后事不知如何,然而在我们身边,我们一转身,就会看到个把像Keating 那样的人。其实他们的命运不一,有的人被排斥,有的人被同化,有的人活的好好的,甚至比其他人更成功一些。

理论上说,教育是要把我们培育成改造世界的人,也就是Keating这样的人物。和老同学联系,他们不是问我在哪里高就,而问我在哪里改变这个世界(So, you are out there changing the world?)还有的同学说,等我长大了(毕业了的隐晦说法),我会像狂风暴雨一样,席卷某某领域(Once I grow up, I am going to take … by storm.)

有时候这是玩笑或自嘲,可是当我们年轻的时候没有这种浪漫,没有这种冲劲,而只是想着如何去适应这个世界,那田鼠和蝼蚁一样的人生,是何等绝望?就如同这电影一开始说的,人到最后,其实会被黄土埋掉,成为虫子的食物,这白驹过隙的一生,怎么着都是一遭,现实的生活只是一种必需,然而从今天活到明天,只关注物质所需,没有一个精神的家园,我们就会和大部分人一样,排队站到灰色的大多数里面,“默默地过着绝望的生活”。如果你偶尔看到这句话,请你反省一下,你现在过的是这种生活吗?如果是,如果你有所不满,是否得像“船长”老师号召的那样,站到桌子上,换个角度去重新看待自己的人生?世界或许和你平时看的不一样。

电影中的老师教授诗歌的时候,将现实主义的诗歌大部分跳过去不教,而侧重于浪漫派诗歌,如惠特曼那种气贯长虹的诗歌。对于除了荷尔蒙一无所有的高中生来说,其实这未尝有什么错误,因为你怎能想象一个十几岁的孩子就那么现实,连一点梦想都没有了呢?有这么一个突破口,有个死亡诗社这样的组织,宣泄一下,或许可以避开更多的问题。至于尼尔的自杀,其实是和老师的教学方法和培育方法没有什么关系。一个有梦想的人,其实也可以不脱离现实。我对那老师跳过现实主义部分的做法也有异议,因为人是可以既现实也有梦想的。这种人才是高人,他有巨人般的身材,头在云端,脚踏大地。

当然,现实中的教育,尤其在工业化革命之后,往往是要把我们塑造成符合现实所用的人,学生不过是送进来,流水线加工后再送出去的产品。这样的教育不是要让我们去改造世界,而是要教我们习惯了被世界改造。已故笑星卡林说过一句话,说把人教聪明,不符合美国统治者的利益。在中国更是这样,把人教蠢,教到只会ABCD打勾选择,是符合当权者利益的。大部分时候,一个新人跑过来,满怀激情地要改变现状,最后往往会被同化掉,或者排挤走,因为大部分体系,都倾向于维持现状。人思想上排斥革新,就像其身体会排斥新药一样。对于大部分资质平平的人来说,那没有办法,只有缩到那灰色的大多数里,还落个平安。如果你够强大的话,你可以改变这个世界。如果你不够,那么世界一般来说会把你给改造过来。当然这未必是坏事。资质欠缺的人在这个世界里安分守己,是他也是他人的福气,因为平庸加激情只会等于折腾。唯有才能和激情加到一起的时候,才有产生积极改变的可能。

不要因为这部电影,认为不越雷池半步才是正道。如果这样的话,建议你去看看电影《浓情巧克力》。如上所述,但凡有能力去改变的人,最好还是去试它一试。千万别以为循规蹈矩一点,“现实一点”,你就会承受地土,得到这个世界。改变是一种冒险,可是将你绑在火刑柱上烧死的时代过去了,如同Outlier一书所示的那样,而今真正改变世界的人,真正的成功者,并非那处在常态分布内的灰色大多数,而是那一个个不愿意默默地、绝望地生活着,而纵身一跳,站到桌子上头,去另眼看世界的人。

篇17:美国佬,爱汉字作文700字

全文共 687 字

+ 加入清单

在今天的语文课上,刘老师讲到了一个人,在中国大家都叫他“汉字叔叔”。那时我便下定决心,放学后一定要去百度里查查看。

一经查询,原来这个“汉字叔叔”是美国人,现在己经65岁了,名叫:理查德·西尔斯。而他就创造了“汉字与词源”这个网站,他自己的中文名就叫:斯睿德,并且他用了20年的时间整理甲骨文、金文等字形放到网上,在他“汉字与词源”的网站上只要输入任何字,那那个字全部相关资料都可以查看。因此感动了中国亿万网友,便被亲切地称为“汉字叔叔”

看到这里我不禁被他的毅力所感动,在加好奇心的驱使下,我继续往下看。

像有人问他为什么要创建网站时,而他说其实是一开始想学一门外语,而且他又喜欢挑战困难,所以他就选择了学习汉语。然后他自己就被中国博大精深的文化深深地吸引了,而这中国的汉字文化则更加坚定了他的信念:“学好汉字!”但在开始的时候他便吃了不少苦头。5000个汉字和6万种组合,但这汉字也有很多的演变,所以学起来很难。但如果知道起源和字意的话,学起来就会好很多。但结果总会事与愿违,在刚学汉字时只找到一本英文版的“认识汉字”,但这本书里只讲了汉字,并没有讲起源和字义,所以这本书毫无用处。之后,他又去查询相关网站,结果也是一场空。但他并没有气馁,反而萌生了一个想法:“我为什么不创造一个电脑版的‘说文解字’呢?”由于这个想法,他历经艰辛,终于吧“汉字与词源”这个网站建立好了,所以才被我们中国网友亲切地称为“汉字叔叔”

我被他的事迹深深地感动了,一个外囯人竞愿在中国的汉字上下这么大的功夫,还创建了专门的网站,我们真是自愧不如啊,所以"汉字叔叔"这个称号,这位"美囯佬"真是当之无愧!

篇18:美国开学前的日子作文

全文共 1020 字

开学日子是紧张而兴奋的,因为每天都有学校安排的活动来帮你熟悉新的生活,每天碰到新的人和新的事情,这种新奇让你兴奋。下面是小编收集的美国开学前的日子作文,希望大家喜欢!

到美国吃的第一个早餐是在卢斯大妈家。为了欢迎我们这些远到的中国留学生,卢斯大妈自榨了果汁,加入当地特产的蓝莓,真是好味道。大妈问我们是要吐司(toast)还是面包(bread),我不知有何区别。大妈对我解释吐司是双面烤过的,而面包则没有。美国人对面包和奶酪很讲究,根据原料、产地、制做方法,有很多品种。

学校的国际学生办公室为留学生准备了一个单子,上面列齐了入学要办的各种手续,包括居留身份表格的填写,学生宿舍的申请,卫生防疫针的注射,和诸如银行账户的开立等,还挺周到。美国的身份确认主要用社会安全保险号(socialsecu ritynumber),然后是住宅地址和电话,以及生日。国际学生需要几个月后才能得到社会安全保险号,所以学校暂时给你一个临时号码,用于办理各种事务。这个号码是要记住的,而且要注意保密,以免被人盗用。

学校的新生入学仪式由学校和系分别进行。学校主要由学校相关部门介绍如何使用学校资源及如何寻求帮助,比如图书馆介绍各馆的分布,图书查询和借阅;医院介绍如何预约及寻求治疗。预约在美国各个服务部门都是必须的,所以各部门都要求大家先用电话咨询和预约,这也是美国时间观念的体现。各个学校团体也会用这个时间来宣传一下自己,鼓励大家加入他们组织。系里则主要是院系的介绍,奖学金和导师的安排。

由于组织有序,入学手续办得很顺利。考虑到留学生语言方面要提高,学校安排留学生和一个美国学生同住。和我同住的是麦克,一个大四的美国学生。

中午吃饭的时间,约翰大伯特地带我们几个中国留学生去当地的中餐馆吃自助餐。当地中餐馆多由福建人开办,由于美国人喜欢甜食和油炸食品,菜以酸甜味和炸制肉为主,还有鱼虾海鲜。我们自然是欢喜得不得了,乐得有辣椒酱来开胃。后来去多了中餐馆,才知道美国的中餐自助餐基本都标准化了,到哪里都是基本同样的菜。这是为了适应美国人标准化口味的要求,但对于口味求变的中国人来说,那简直太难受了。而且自助餐所费不菲,加上小费约12美元每人。中国留学生经常自己烹饪,和同学一起分享。

美国的选课学生有很大的自由,各系列出了所开的课,学生可自由选择。当然要选够要求的学分。课程的开头数字,代表课程的高级程度,越大由越高年级选取。如果你要选择别系的课,要你的导师签字同意。

篇19:游美国迪士尼

全文共 489 字

+ 加入清单

暑假,我们一家人坐飞机去洛杉矶。到了洛杉矶,我们租车来到迪士尼。其中让我印象最深刻的就是矿山车、鬼屋。

矿山车位于迪士尼的金银岛。我们先按照次序进入车内,开始了我们刺激的矿山之旅。车缓缓地驶入一个神秘的山洞,蝙蝠声此起彼伏。在黑暗中,突然来一个俯冲。吓得我们尖叫声不停。紧接着我们急速驶过一个180度的90度的急转弯。转弯时,使我晕头转向、心惊肉跳。然后我们飞速地冲向恐龙骨架,正当我担心火车是否撞上骨架。刹那间,恐龙张开嘴巴。我们就冲入骨架。我们又上下折腾一翻才到达终点站。

另外一个令我印象深刻的是鬼屋。我们一进入屋内,就感受到那里的阴森恐怖。蜘蛛丝向我扑面而来。让我最害怕的是当我进入墓室时,霎时间,一个青面獠牙的绿鬼,拿把菜刀向我扑来。吓得我使出九牛二虎之力,奋力向前跑。当我靠在墙上,进行短暂的休息时,突然神不知,鬼不觉一双冷冰冰的手托住我的脖子,顿时,我的心跳出嗓子眼。再次向前跑,总算跑出了这恐怖的鬼屋。

后来我们还玩了许多项目。例如:吉普车历险记、碰碰车、大雪山、太空山、宇宙射击等。啊!这次游玩迪斯尼,是我最快乐、最刺激的时光。它将成为我记忆中的一颗光彩夺目的宝石。

篇20:美国科幻电影《时间规划局》观后感

全文共 423 字

+ 加入清单

电影讲述的故事发生在未来世界,在那里时间成为一种可以购买、存储的商品。主角Will被诬告杀害了一名富有的人并偷走了他的时间,他便开始了逃亡生涯,而阿曼达则饰演被他劫持的富有大小姐。

颠覆对生命传统的认知,在这个世界里,时间=金钱=生命,最残忍的是,你能看到生命正在一点点消失。

富人拥有更多的生命和时间去争取更多的金钱。

穷人只能用仅有的时间去挣钱却带着微薄的生命。

富人更富,穷人更穷。

影片用了极端的手法批判了这个现实的世界,电影中不少台词充分解释了这个社会的残忍与不公平。

电影的最后,所有人都拥有了的无限的时间,无限的生命。这几乎是个完美的世界,没有死亡,再也不用为了生存辛苦赚钱,谁不想呢。

正如我们,坐在电脑前麻木着聊天打字,坐在课堂里听着无聊的讲课打瞌睡,每天东奔西走劝说客户,上课是为了将来能找一份工作,工作是为了钱为了更好的生存。

现实是,没有主角来拯救苍生。

电影终究是电影,如果说影片内容是折射是社会的缩影,那么结局大概就是我们美好的梦想了。
