前几天，妈妈生病了，我有些难受。带着几分牵挂，周末我快速跑到家里，想看看我日思梦想的妈妈……可是刚进家门，我就闻到一股菜香味，看见妈妈正忙着做饭的背影，一阵酸楚涌上我的心头，我忙叫妈妈放下手中的活赶快去休息，可妈妈说：“我只是头有点晕，你回来了，妈妈做点你爱吃的给你吃，没关系的，你一到家，妈妈就好了！”妈妈是不是真的好了？我不知道，但此时的我，强忍着泪水，小声对妈妈说：既然这样，你就做吧！

由此，我想到老师教导我们的话，人生要读懂三本书，有字之书，无字之书，心灵之书。对于母亲的所作所为，我读懂了母亲这本心灵之书，源于她对女儿深深的爱，她才变得如此坚强。对于我来说，源于我对母亲的爱，我才强忍着不去揭穿母亲此时的谎言。

我们的生命是灵动的，但这种灵动离不开精彩的生活做铺垫，面对点点滴滴生活细节，我学会了思考与感悟，因而我的生命是富有诗情画意的生命。

读完《善意的谎言》这篇文章我深有感触，这篇文章主要讲述了主人公“我”指定理发店小学徒为我吹饰头发，小学徒弄得很难看，我却说她梳得好。就因为这个善意的谎言让她从自卑走向自信，从而改变了自己地位的故事。

有时候谎言不再是狡猾的代名词，而是一种美德。不是所有的谎言都充满了欺骗与背叛，我看到的是理解、尊重和宽容，是一种美德，是一种爱。

在一个寒冷的冬天，寒风瑟瑟，我穿着厚厚的棉袄还瑟瑟发抖。妈妈亲切地把她的外套脱下来披在我身上。我问妈妈：“妈妈，您冷不冷？”即使妈妈冻得发抖，仍然硬着头皮说：“我不冷。”这就是善意的谎言。明明妈妈很冷，但为了保护自己的孩子，说自己不冷。

父母的一句谎言，让涉世不深的孩子重归正道，老师的一句谎言，让彷徨的孩子不再困惑，医生的一句谎言，让恐惧的病人由毁灭走向新生。

有的时候，因为一句善意的谎言，能让人从悲观的阴影走出来，有的时候，因为一句善意的谎言，会避免一场矛盾的发生，有的时候，因为一句善意的谎言，改变一生的命运。

这就是善意的谎言。

As we all know, Beijing is facing the air pollution, a kind of environment pollution. Now Beijing is also famous of hazy weather, which is harmful to people’s health because of PM2.5 and PM10.

Why is our capital suffering the hazy weatherIn my view, Beijing is a center of economy, culture and politics, so she has a heavy traffic. As a result, there are a lot of cars here, then the exhaust of them become a part of reason of the air pollution. Besides, in order to have a good economy development, there are many factories around Beijing, the exhaust of the factories become another part of reason of the air pollution. The most import, our country is a developing one, and do not have enough ability to solve the pollution well while focusing on developing, just like UK was called The City of Fog before.

Now, Beijing has taken a lot of actions to deal with the hazy weather. Firstly, setting up the Bicycle exclusive channel, people are

encouraged to ride but not to drive, in this way, the exhaust of cars is decline. Secondly, many factories are forced to move to Hebei Provence, thus, they can continue to make a contribution to Beijing’s economy development and the air pollution is controlled. Finally, the buses and subway have a lower price than other cities, so that people prefer to go on work by bus or subway. And the limit line caused by tail number is effect, too.

I persist that the air pollution of Beijing can be controlled someday later.

妈妈是个老戏迷。星期天的早上，她心血来潮，把一盘老旧老旧的戏曲磁带放进收录机里面播放。几个回合下来，收录机的声音越来越糊，最后居然彻底哑了。

妈妈很后悔。“不知道维修要花多少钱，也不知道能不能修好，今年厂里效益不好，花一分钱都要算算”，妈妈对我说道。

我不免有些担心，因为我的新概念英语的听力有很多练习，都要靠这个机子来完成的。

后悔也没有用，无奈之下，妈妈没有顾上吃饭，就把收录机送到一家很有名气的修理部去了。

妈妈一回来，我就迫不及待地问道：“妈妈，什么时候修好呀？”妈妈叹了口气，不太有把握地说：“唉，也许明天吧。”

第二天晚上，妈妈和我一起去领收录机。修理部的门是关着的。妈妈轻轻地敲开门后，出来一位高中生模样的大哥哥。我们说明来由，他说他不清楚这个事情。后来，他进去打了一个电话。再等他出来时，说道“这个已经无法再回修了。”我和妈妈听了，像被一盆凉水从头浇到脚。

“究竟是什么原因，不好回修了呢？”，妈妈着急地问道。

“不清楚，我妈妈就说坏得无法修了。” 那位大哥哥这样回答的。

看来再问下去，也没有什么结果了。我结果大哥哥递过来的收录机，妈妈叹了口气，我们回家了。

到了我们住的楼下，妈妈忽然看见楼梯过道上贴着一则“家电维修”小广告。妈妈想看见一个救命稻草似的，一把把小广告揭了下来。“咦，我们再试试这家，怎么样？”妈妈对我说道。真是“病急乱投医”，我心里暗暗想到。

一到家，妈妈就按照那个小广告的号码拨了过去。妈妈电话打了好长时间。最后，这个人分析得出的原因是问题不算大，大概就是换一下磁头而已。而且答应上门修理。

放下电话，妈妈好像想起了什么，对我说：“人与人差别怎么那么大呢？明明可以维修的，偏偏要说修不起来了。我们可以接受拒绝，但是不能接受谎言。”我说：“是呀，我也觉得我们送过去的包装都没有动过。”

接着，妈妈又把收录机重新用清洁器清洗了一遍，嘿，好了。收录机又能正常工作了。

原来，是那家有名的修理部嫌维修这个收录机不挣钱。直接就对我们说无法维修了。我们结结实实被那个维修部骗了。我们一向诚实待人，但是并不是所有的人也都会用诚实来回报我们。

人生百态，让人尝尽酸甜苦辣；世事无常，令人百捉不透。风光无限同时嘲讽无比，卑微尘埃同时高不可攀。

活着的时候真的快乐吗？真的悲伤吗？但又不可否认的是，这其实这都是你。

生活有时候会因为好事而欢乐。就如在年少时考上自己理想高中或大学，赞叹之词会从亲朋好友那里传来，父母喜极而泣；青年时事业爱情双丰收，人人羡慕，人人感叹；老年时子孙满堂，子女孝顺有加。这些也许让你会觉得这是你这碌碌人生中为数不多的难忘记忆。

但也有时候会因为坏事而悲叹。亲情因死亡而逝去，爱情因矛盾和不得已而失去，友情因不合和不信任而翻去，这些也许也会成为你这平凡一生中不可避免的难忘回忆。

有时候仔细想想也真是可笑，在生活这个谎言里，你得到过多少呢，你又留住多少呢？年幼时母亲总会将好的都尽力为你留住，未涉世你会天真地问母亲，：“妈妈，你不要吗？”她的回答总是带着欣慰的：“不，我已经有了。”看，母亲的谎言在这时就已经留下了，只不过，这善意的谎言是温暖的，是甜蜜的。

物极必反罢了，伤人的谎言也是无处不在的。交心的朋友表面上总想着你，但其实只有她知道，当自私自利以及嫉妒围绕在周围的时候，友谊已经从开始变质了，也许你会有疑问，为什么不发自内心呢？事实上，从一开始，友谊就没有扎根她的心里。

谎言这个东西，说好也是在一定时候会发出一些用处的，毕竟生活这个大染缸里面，总需要一块遮羞布的，但有些时候会伤害我们，或者说是毁掉我们，有益有弊，且看你如何悟出。

所以千万不要停下脚步，因为，生活是个谎言。

It is known to all that today the environment has been badly polluted.

Though many action have been taken to protect our environment, it still has a

long way to go. Two years ago, I went to middle school, and the first moment I

saw the environment, I found that trees were very small, and many workers were

busy planting trees. Now, when I looked around our school, the trees were taller

than people and they grew so fast. People always talk about planting trees but

less of them can take action. If they plant trees immediately, then there would

be more green scenery. Protecting the environment is not just words. We should

take action right now.

Ocean marine pollution is from domestic sewage and municipal refuses. When the pesticides went into the marine ecosystem, they quickly become absorbed into marine food webs. Once in the food webs, these pesticides can cause mutations, as well as diseases, which can be harmful to humans as well as the entire food web.

About 60 percent of cities are polluted in China. The rubbishes are everywhere. And the air pollution is also very serious. Exhaust fumes, household garbage and industrial refuse all can make our city dirty. So, don’t spitting ,don’t litter, don’t graffiti on the wall!Forest

The forests are being destroyed now. Acid rain, big fire and saws always break the forests unfeelingly, so, they are in danger . The number of forests are becoming less and less. Let’s plant trees and protect the forests together!River

There are many things in the river, like newspaper , oil, chemicals and heavy metal. If we drink the water that’s from the polluted river, we will get sick or die. And the plants which is near this river will die. So, don’t sewage effluent into the river!

Have taken off a shoes , have galloped to ocean , tide water pour up, have submerged my bound feet fork, water withdraws from down soon , seems to be scratching an itch woollen cloth for me! Be beach upper shell everywhere after ebbing,they are oceans gift to us , have yellow, having is white , having is blue , having is silvery white, ... Be really colourful. The fan that shells form great variety of fantasies , some image handful open , some hand , some images like Guanyin a peacock in his pride, some all kinds of image puppies, are really to be almost lifelike in appearance. I hasten to take up a sack to collect a few moments later, have collected right away once big chockful bags. I feel a little bit tired afterwards, will lie on the sandy beach, be really extremely comfortable in feeling the bosom who lies in the mother with regard to the image!

A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from

them。 Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world。 To

have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones。 Friends who flatter

you to your face are not true friends。

We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of

heart。 On the other hand， we should do our best to a void keeping pany with bad

people。

那是发生在小学四年级的一件事。

我的音乐成绩一直很差，不是跑调了，就是没胆量唱出来，经常在家长会上被音乐老师点名批评，这令我和我妈妈都苦恼不已。

临近期末了，语文、数学、英语等科目我都很有把握考上90分，可是唯独音乐没有眉目。一天，妈妈对我说：“如果你的音乐成绩可以拿到A，我和你爸就带你去马尔代夫旅行。”

我惊呆了，一说马尔代夫，就让人联想到一望无际的沙滩，可以在沙滩上尽情玩耍，这多么令人向往呀！从此以后，我像变了个人似的，操场上再也没有我疯闹的身影，下课后我在座位上背歌谱、背歌词，吹竖笛，利用碎片时间复习音乐。回到家并不是打开电视“过把瘾”，而是进书房练习唱歌，用范唱来校正声调。可看到同学们在打游戏，看电视的时候，我也有些情不自禁地放下音乐书去与他们一起玩耍。可一想到多复习一些歌曲，离希望就更进一步，所以又开始复习歌曲了。考试的前一天，我惊喜的发现书上的每首歌我都会唱，每首曲子都会吹，于是我兴奋不已，因为我离希望只有一步之遥了。

第二天，我早早的来到学校，又把所有歌曲默唱了一遍，准备迎接考试的到来。老师走了进来，让我们上去抽签，我发现我抽的歌我都会唱，又暗自兴奋了一下。不一会儿，我当着全班和老师的面唱歌，同学们用热烈的掌声夸奖我，老师也说我有进步。成绩出来以后，我发现音乐成绩是A+，当我告诉父母时，他们乐得合不拢嘴，我问到：“我们什么时候去马尔代夫？”妈妈先是一愣，接着就笑起来，笑得没完没了，待她笑得不笑了才擦着笑出的泪水说：“我不这么激励你，你会有好成绩吗？”这时，我突然心累了，原本是胸膛的心加重了吧。原来，不懈的努力换来的是欺骗和A+的成绩单。

我长大了，每逢看见“欺骗”这个词总是马上联想起这美丽的谎言。孩子是可以批评的、责怪的，但永远绝对不可以欺骗，欺骗是最深重的伤害。

父母已经长大成人，可所有的大人不都是孩童时代走过来的么？

Today, I came to the breakfast. See the lads with chopsticks busy busy. So

I took a seat, a young man walked to come over and ask me to eat something, so I

had a bowl of beef noodles peppers. Soon, a noodles. I take chopsticks, soon

finished eating. On the way to school, I also think that bowl noodles.

今天，我来到了早餐店。只见店里的伙计们端着碗筷忙来忙去。于是我找了一个位子坐下了，一位年轻的伙计走了过来，问我要吃点什么，于是我报了一碗青椒牛肉面。很快，一碗面就出来了。我拿上筷子，很快就吃完了。在去学校的路上，我还想着那碗好吃的面。

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。

“谎言”之所以称为“谎言”，是因为它是虚假的、不真实的、骗人的话语。一个人如果经常有谎言流与口中，从而去哄骗他人，久而久之，他便会失去人们的信任。

而善意的谎言的意义却是大不相同，善意的谎言可以使人重新获得希望，善意的谎言可以是一个失败的人变成一个成功者，善意的谎言可以使一个心灰意冷，十分沮丧的人重新获得饱满的自信心。

可以说善意的谎言是可以帮助他人的，而不是害人害己，和恶意的欺骗完全不一样。

恶意的欺骗，会让别人对您失去信心，就如同《撒谎的孩子》文中的那个孩子一样，每天都喊“狼来了”以寻求刺激、开心，而当狼真的来时，他只有一个人独立去面对，自己去承受，再怎么喊叫也无济于事，也不会有人再来帮助他。因为，可能来帮助他的人已经习惯了他的喊叫，以为又是他在“逗您玩”呢，可见，谎言有碍于诚信。

但是今天，我们谈到的“谎言”，还有个定语——善意的，加上了这个限定词后，谎言的本质也就发生了根本的改变。“善意的谎言”是人们对事物寄托的美好愿望，是人们善良心灵的对白，是人们彼此之间相互安慰的一丝暖意，是人们心底里流露出来的一种柔情……谁也不会去追究它的可信程度，即使听到善意谎言的人明知道是谎话，也一样会去努力相信，不会觉得说谎者的虚伪，有时还要从心里感激呢。

所以，让我们以后多用善意的谎言去帮助别人吧！

Last week,we were go to the Laohutan marine park fall camp.We saws dolphins、seals、whale sharks and hippocampus…Then we were go to the happy-theater.The host was very humor,the animals star was very lovely and very clever.Then we were go to a small garden,we were played very happy.Back home after I very excited.

善意的谎言是美丽的，其实那是一种爱，不想让对方受到一丝伤害，当我们为了他人的幸福适度说些小谎的时候，谎言即变为理解、尊重跟宽容，具有神奇的力量。

其实在我家人中一直有一个秘密，这是一个善意的谎言，我们每一个人都好好地守护者这个谎言，永远不让它揭开真正的面纱。

其实我的表妹她不是姑姑亲生的！她是姑姑从火车站里捡来的，当我听到这件事的真相是使我我如同晴天霹雳，五雷灌顶。没有想到，天天跟我们一起玩耍的表妹，竟然不是姑姑亲生的。

记得上一次，我到姑姑家的时候，我刚刚走进门的时，我就看见了，姑姑家正在吃饭，她们全家人把注意力全部放在了表妹身上，不时地往表妹碗里夹菜，表妹的碗里都满了，全家人才高兴地吃了起来，全家人其乐融融，看不出有什么古怪。大家警告我不要把这件事情告诉表妹，我拍拍胸脯：“当然了。”现在我才明白，这是一个最美丽的谎言，姑姑不说出来是有她的原因的，就算说出来了又能怎样呢，只会让大家更伤心的，现在不是很好吗，全家其乐融融，每个人都好好地保存了这个秘密。

有的时候，谎言也是有用的，它会帮助别人，重建信心，也会帮别人战胜困难！谎言并不是人们所说的全部都是坏的！有这么一句话写的真好：善意的谎言是美丽的。这谎言就算被拆穿了，也不会惹来非议，因为善意的谎言是逼不得已的。我认为：世界上有一种善意的谎言，甚至能编织美丽的故事！

In Haimen there is a park. It’s a big and beautiful park. It has two gates. They are the North Gate and the West Gate. Many people park their bikes in front of the gates.

There is a shop at the North Gate. When you go into the park through the North Gate, you will find a large square on your right and you will see lots of trees and flowers around you. In the west of the park, there is a playground.

Sometimes some children fly kites on it and some people sit on the grass and chat. In the middle of the park, there is a lake. There are many boats on it. There is a hill in the east of the park.

The park is very beautiful. I love it very much. Will you come to visit it some day?

New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.

The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese an extra month once every few years. This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.

New Years Eve and New Years Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.

The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.

The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Years Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove". It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations
