在功课繁重的学习中,图书馆是我进修的好场所,它带给我许多知识。因每天下课常出入图书馆的我;被老师选为小志愿者,心中无比的高兴,因为终于有机会替大众服务了!

当上小志愿者的第一节下课,图书馆一切的事物对我来说;都是一个问号,替别人影印资料时,一不小心!按错一个钮,出纸的地方出现了一张只有资料四分之一的纸,使我得自己掏腰包了。

牺牲午休时间 去图书馆工作的我,更加谨慎的补书,眼见这么多破烂的书,心想“能有这么好的读书环境,竟然不好好珍惜”心中一股气愤涌上心头。一天,在整理书时,见到了 一位在破坏书的人,走上前去原想臭骂他一顿,但一想到孔子说:“道之以政,齐之以刑,民免而无耻。道之以德,齐之以礼,有耻且格。”我也不生气了,只好用 道德来规劝他,才能在没人的时候,也不会再破坏书。

忙碌之余,老师也叫我们看书,以增广见闻。在搬那沉重的书时,其实,想想看,这不但帮老师省麻烦,也增强自己的体力,一举二得,有何不可呢

身为小志愿者的我,虽然累了一点儿,但替老师分担了许多事物;我也很快乐,因为“助人为快乐之本”呀!

中英语作文经典范文二:

Everyone in the path of growth, must through all kinds of test. Some people own learning is not ideal, some bad for your skin and worry, and some to get parents understand and feel wronged... I think it should be growing pains.

"You how so careless, English written in capital letters lowercase letters; math is not decimal forgot to add, is the brain around it; the language too, shouldnt always wrong... wrong since time, scores have been falling, straight down to 20 name!" Is the time, this kind of words are often in my mind.

I also want to increase the performance to once upon a time, but always cant contentment. Is not the improvement to the subject, is a division of grades and beaten down. Who wouldnt want to test a good result, but each persons ability is different, also the effort by different, so the harvest "fruit" is also different. So I can only say: "do your best!"

As a student, I told myself not too bad; I told myself cant let parents down; I told myself cant let the teacher lose faith in yourself... So, my worries are growing.

But think carefully, if falling grades so easily becomes good, so dont lose its senseSo think about it, there is less worry a lot. But dont strive for it, it wont come. So, still want to care my shadow, always follow me, this should be most students face troubles.

Trouble is important in life, we should be brave to face, with positive attitude, trouble will be gone.

翻译:

每个人在成长的道路上,必须经各种考验。有的人为自己的学习不理想而烦恼,有的为自己的皮肤不好而发愁,有的为得不到父母的理解而感到委屈我想,这应该就是成长的烦恼吧。

“你怎么这么粗心,英语的大写字母写成小写字母;数学不是小数点忘了加,就是脑筋转不过弯;语文也是,不该错的总是错自从一回,成绩就一直下降,直降到第二十名!”就是那个时候,这类话就常常在我心头萦绕。

我也想把成绩提高到从前,不过总是不能够称心如意。不是那一科的成绩提高了,就是这一科的成绩又败了下来。谁不想考个好成绩啊,可是每个人的能力不同,所尽的努力也不同,所以收获的“果实”也不同。因此我也只能说一声:“尽力而为了!”

作为一名学生,我告诉自己成绩不能太差;我告诉自己不能让父母失望;我告诉自己不能让老师对自己失去信心因此,我的烦恼也就日益增多。

可是仔细反过来想想,如果下降了的成绩这样轻易就变好,那么不就失去了它本身的意义了吗这样想想,烦恼也就减少了许多。可是不努力争取它,它也不会自己过来的。所以,烦恼还是想我的影子一样,一直跟着我,这应该也是大部分同学面临的烦恼吧。

烦恼是人生中重要的考验,我们应该要勇敢去面对,用积极乐观的态度,烦恼就会随风而去了。

Everyone has their own hobbies, I was no exception. My hobby numerous as the stars in the sky, but I most like to read books.

大家都有自己的爱好吧,我也不例外。我的爱好像天上的星星一样数不清,可我最喜欢读书。

我从小就爱看书,在哪儿都看,在被窝里看、上厕所看、去旅游时在车上看、就连吃饭也不放过。爸爸妈妈总希望我这个不折不扣的小书虫出去玩一会儿,可是我在小区里一个人也不认识,所以书成了我最好的朋友。记得有一次我去书店看书,跟妈妈说好五点回去的,但一看到琳琅满目的图书,我禁不住在故事的海洋里熬游。我拿起一本《笑猫日记》,读着读着,被杨红樱的文笔吸引住了。时间像离了弦的箭,眨眼到了六点,我才想起时间,正在回去的路上,遇到了妈妈,我贪看竟把妈妈急得团团转。

前几天,我在厕所里呆了半个多小时,气得老妈鼻子都歪了,这是为什么呢因为我在厕所里看《意林》少年版看入迷了,以致于老妈使出了她的必杀技---狮吼功。

不过,一码归一码,读书可是件好事。现在,我的作文在班里数一数二,自上学以来阅读量达到数百万字。同学们,让我们一起多读书吧!

篇20:英语成语故事:后来居上附翻译

Ji Anlived at the time of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.24). He was respected for being upright and just and for daring to speak the truth. He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officals.

Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confucianism and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward.

For this reason ,Ji An was never promoted again. When he was the commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officials, both Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were low -ranking lfficials of little importance. Later ,they were promoted continuously. Gongsun Hong became the prime minister and Zhang Tang became the imperial censor. However, JiAns post remained thesame. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wudi that the way the emperor used his ministers was just like piling up firewood, which meant that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers. Of course, Emperor Wudi could see that Ji An was complaining. So,turning to his ministers, Emperor Wudi said, "It is true that no one can stop learning.You see, Ji An is making more and more indiscreet remarks."

This story comes from The Historical Records. Later generations use the set phrase "the latecomers surpass the old-timers " to indicate that successors can cxcel the predecessors, which is quite different from the original idea when Ji An said that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers.

汲黯是西汉武帝时代人,以刚直正义、敢讲真话而受人尊重。他为人和做官都不拘小节,讲求实效。虽然表面上不那么轰轰烈烈,却能把一个郡治理得井井有条,因此,朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉——一种主管地方吏任免的官职。

有一次,汉武帝说要实行儒家的仁义之政,为老百姓办好事了。没等皇帝把话说完,汲黯就说:“陛下内心里那么贪婪多欲,表面上却要装得实行仁政,这是何苦呢?”一句话把皇帝噎了回去。汉武帝登时脸色大变,宣布罢朝,满朝文武都为汲黯捏着一把汗,担心他会因此招来大祸。武帝回到宫里以后,对身边的人说,汲黯这个人也未免太粗太直了。

从此以后,汲黯的官职再也没有提升。他当主爵都尉的时候,公孙弘、张汤都还是不起眼的小官,后来,他们一个劲儿住上升,公孙弘当上了丞相,张汤做上了御史大夫,可他汲黯还蹲在原地没动窝。有一天,汲黯对武帝说,陛下使用群臣,跟码劈柴一样,是“后来者居上”啊!汉武帝当然听得出这是发牢骚。于是,转脸对臣下们说:“人真是不能不学习啊!你们听汲黯说话,越来越离谱了!”

故事出自《史记汲郑列传》。成语后来居上”,往往指后起的可以胜过先前的。和汲黯说这话的原意,大不相同。
