The winter vacation, we came to Harbin, mom and Dad took us to the Yabuli ski resort.

A sight that I was shocked, a silver white snow, coming from across the slope, each snow road length is different, with a narrow width, high and low, spectacular.

In the dressing room, the skiing suits are changed. Everyone gets together. The coach teaches us how to skate and how to stop. Oh, its too simple. Skiing is the two feet parallel, knees bent forward, and slippery dry ice like, two feet open, a big point inside the eight words.

We entered the snow road and started my first skiing trip. Unexpectedly, I did not bother to slide down the slope down the slope. I look back at my father, mother and brother, my father fell in the snow, cant do anything. His brother said he fell five or six, only mother did not fall. I was proud of it and became a "little teacher".

This is my first time skiing, full of excitement, and full of joy.

1．词语选择的重要性

在The Right Word at the Right Time的“序言”中，编者对词语选用的重要性作了一个很好的比喻：“Using the right word at the right time is rather like wearing appropriate clothing for the occasion：

it is a courtesy to others，and a favor to yourself-a matter of presenting yourself well in the eyes of the world."

显然，说话或写文章时用词适当比穿着适当难度大得多，因而也具有更大的重要性。在我国，古人写文章时常为一个词语的选用具思苦想，因而有“语不惊人死不休”的说法。

成语“一字值千金”也说明了选择词语的极端重要性。有时“一字之差”造成令人遗憾的败笔，或招致成千上万的经济损失。这些反面的教训也告诉我们必须重视词语选用的问题。

2．词语选择的可能性

实际上，我们每个人的脑子里都有了一个或大或小的词库，只要我们肯去发掘，往往可以得到更好的表达方式。这是我们做好词语选用的主观条件。

从客观条件广看，我们有各种类型的词典和参考书，只要我们平时多翻译、多阅读，写作时勤查考，就会在词语选用上不断进步。当然，一部好词典也不会毫无缺点，更难以面面俱到，因此在这里我们应牢牢记住著名英国作家、评论家和辞书编纂家Johson的话：

大千世界无奇不有，循规蹈矩却不能在某一方面有所成就，别出心裁才是立根之本。再艰难险阻的事只要找到了好方法，也可以很快迎刃而解。就拿煎熬的八百米来说，解决它的方式我可是独具一格。

铃声伴随着喧闹的课间，终打响在上课前，体育成绩一向优异的我，对这八百米测试不屑一顾，这一句令人惊恐万分的百米长跑，对我来说简直就是小菜一碟。放眼望去，同学们个个蜷缩身体，面露惊慌，抱怨声连绵不断。胸有成竹的我则在心中想着两个月中尘封已久的回忆，同学们冲出起跑线，似要在起点就分出你输我赢。心有一计的我悠然地跟在后面，看着前方的精彩好戏。

似骏马般奔驰不懈的同学埋头紧跑，两圈下来虽气喘吁吁却也进度不减。第三圈时，遥遥领先的同学如我所愿，纷纷放慢脚步，上气不接下气。左脚大步迈出，右脚快速紧跟，双脚似在跑道上玩起了追逐大赛。口中的呼吸也随着步履“两步一呼，两步一叹。”

随着第四圈的悄然来临，精力耗尽的同学缓慢行走，早有预谋的我开始了冲刺，那些不甘落后的同学也想如此，却因前些圈过分消耗体力，任他双脚紧跟，却也无济于事。储存了许久的力迸发在双脚，愤力踩地的“嗒，嗒”声响于耳畔，领先的我冲刺终点。随着计时器手起键落，三分三十八秒的成绩又一次在我自创的方式中取得成功。

绿茵场上最后的冲刺，凭借着我苦心钻研的技巧取得成功，人生旅途中最后的冲刺，也必定会来源于汲取技巧的执着与坚持。

When asked about work preference, different people will give different

answers. Some people like working with people. However, others prefer jobs which

mainly involve objects or machines.

Those people who have the first preference believe working with people

usually makes one feel interesting and efficient. In addition, they maintain

people can be inspired to bring forward new ideas by communicating or consulting

with those around them. However, still others have different preferences. In

their opinions, working with objects or machines can make one enjoy more peace

and quiet. Besides, they argue, under such peaceful conditions, one can do more

practical work, improve his skill and make technical renovations.

Weighing up these two kinds of work, I prefer working with people. For one

thing, I like to cooperate with others and work in a team. For another, although

there are competition and rivalry, we can learn something from other people.

Considering these, I think, working with people is beneficial to our career

development.

Dear Mr. Seaton，

Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to

London. It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other

famous sights. If Id gone alone, I couldnt have seen nearly as much, because I

wouldnt have known my way about.

The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare. I still

remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate.

During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the

afternoon and be windy before the night falls. So I think I was lucky.

I think the river trip was the best thing of all. London really came alive

for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to

Greenwich. It was all tremendously exciting - a day that I shall never

forget.

Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen

Mr. A Gan has his own perseverance, keeping on running without of any reason, JUST RUNS. He said: “Man has t look forward, and never encumbered by foretime. I thank thats the meaning of my running.” Say goodbye to foretime and dont stay in-place. Although so many people in the world are used to follow others and few people can stick to one thing, Mr. A Gan does and becomes “GOD”. There is another character Captain Dan. Dan lost his legs in Vietnarm War. He said that his fate is death in war. However, Mr. A Gan saved him and let him be alive. After losing legs, Dan was decadent and disgusted with life, complaining that A Gan shouldnt save him. When he adjusted his mind, living on fishing with A Gan, he started to enjoy the wonderful life and thank A Gans help. The movie is intended to tell people that life is wonderful by this character. Rainbow is always after cloud. The key point is that whether we have a good mind and an opportunity to ourselves to change bad situation. The movie is also sent such a message to us: do well what we should do, and life will return us well. There will be a miracle if only there is perseverance.

很多个清晨，我们爬上山顶，极目远眺。岸边，海浪像一位平静的母亲，一次次用温柔的手掌轻拍着沙滩上那块恬静似孩子的岩石。日复一日，从未停息，年复一年，从未改变。

今天，我听从了你的话，来到了清晨的山林，与你一同爬山。但漫长的路途似一根针一下刺破了我气球般脆弱的心。攀登的人群像一波江水，而我却像江水中的一颗沙粒，一下子被甩在了人群的最后。你脱下了平日里油腻的围裙，像是脱了茧的蝴蝶，挥舞着灵巧的翅膀，从人群中穿过，扭动着娇小的身姿傲然飞在最前头。我正对着阳光，眯着眼，你的身影逐渐模糊，像镀了一层金边，愈来愈远。

你在人潮的一端倏地回过了头，对着我大喊道：“快点跟上来。”声音虽响，在人流中穿过却显得缥缈，却又声声入耳。忽然一下子，熟悉的一幕在眼前浮现：一条幽静的小路上，在晚霞的笼罩下愈发显得宁静，你的背影在夕阳下拉得很长很长，前面传来稚嫩的语调，“妈妈快跟上来……你太慢了”，原来已经疲惫不堪的你仿佛一下子充满了动力，艰难而又豪迈地迈开了脚步……

不同的时间、不同的地点、同样的人，却是颠倒了位置，站在石阶上呼喊的是你，而不是我，但我却也像曾经的你，抖擞着精神向你奔去，原本遥不可及的路途，好像被时间缩短了距离，不一会儿便追上了，像一只大雁回到了最初的归宿。

我们并肩在石阶上跑着，一级又一级，你渐渐没了力气，我突然望见曾经需要我仰视的你，现在只是俯视就能看到。你快速衰老着，一抹白雪染上你的鬓角，我却久久没有发现，此时的心里像堵着一块石头般沉重。

前面已不再是扁平的石阶，我小心地拉起你的手，就像小时候你拉起我的手般坚定。你手中粗糙的纹路，在我手中摩擦着，在我心中生出阵阵刺痛感。那山一样的背影仿佛一吹，便会倒下。但是别担心，如今的我会在你倒下之时撑起你的腰，你只需依靠，靠在我怀里便好。

我们爬上了山顶，极目远眺。岸边，海浪依旧在抚摸着石头，却愈来愈无力，石头也被海浪越推越远，但在海浪最后那一抚摸落下时，石头松开了泥土的束缚，投入海中，以海浪爱它的方式来回报。

成长路漫漫，遇到困难也不计其数，但我有我的方式，所以我坚信，所有的困难都将迎刃而解。

我从小就有一个舞蹈梦，幻想着有一天，我能够穿着华丽的演出服站在舞台上，用优美的舞姿来展现美。得知这件事的母亲便为我报了一门舞蹈课。

儿时的我懵懂地走进那些教室，看到那些轻松一踢，就能踢到头顶的同学，我既羡慕又惭愧。我立刻换上舞蹈服，就开始仿佛那些年龄大一些的同学做一些练习。我努力将腿抬上把杆，手用力向前伸，却始终触碰不到脚尖。我举手主动请求老师的帮助，她使劲地按住我的背开始往下压，那时的疼痛，简直让未满五岁的我无法承受。可我知道在这时只有忍住才能继续前进。压腿，压腰，伸展，这些都是我的初体验，听着，旁边同学撕心裂肺的哭声与想放弃的怒吼，我强忍泪水，咬紧牙关，我知道，此时，忍耐就是我的方式。

我渐渐成长，走入学生时代，又一次走进那间教室。天外有天，人外有人，我仍不是那个最优秀的。我们要开始学习成套的动作，我接受新事物很慢，但我一定要练熟。下课后，大家都急急忙忙地跑出了门。而我却仍在那里面对着镜子，自己喊着拍子，一遍遍地顺着动作，断了之后，就重新再做一遍。经过一遍又一遍的重复，看着镜中的我渐入佳境，我开心地笑了。我知道，此时，坚持就是我的方式。

不知不觉中，我已成为一名青少年，我的课业负担渐渐加重，可我逐梦的步伐我却没有半点停歇。一周一次的排练我从不缺席，看着班上的同学渐渐减少，我的表现也变得优秀起来，这便是我十年努力得来的成果，我知道，此时，执着就是我的方式。

终于，我登上我梦寐以求的舞台时，我站在舞台的最中央，担任着领舞的重任，一步一步在舞台上移动，旋转，跃动，最后一个亮相我已气喘吁吁，但台下雷鸣般的掌声便是十年逐梦最大的肯定。

十年之前，我不是最优秀的，但我是最努力的；十年之后，我是优秀的，但我仍是最努力的。我有我独特的方式，也正是它，成就了我此时的光辉。

什么是沟通?

我认为，沟通是一座人际交往的桥梁。一次电话上的嘘寒问暖是沟通;一次彼此的善意微笑、眼神对视是沟通;一次人与人，面对面交谈也是沟通......沟通无处不在，就像一把心灵的钥匙，正在打开人们心中关闭的那扇门;就像一台望远镜，去望人们心中心灵的高度;就像......

在学校里，老师好比是一双眼睛，学生好比是一扇窗户，眼睛透过窗户，认真地看，用心地看，看到的是一幅清晰美丽的画卷。我现在是一名初中的学生，在校与老师的沟通是我生活中精彩的一部分。老师是繁枝大叶，我则是枝叶下的繁花，枝叶与繁花的沟通则是春天里的灿烂、夏天里的甘露、秋天里的和风、冬天里的暖阳......我与老师的沟通是我生活中必不可少的一块拼图，少了它，精彩的图案永远不会展现。沟通真的很重要!没有了沟通，那时候的世界一片灰暗，所有人都只能充当哑巴的角色，一切死气沉沉，无声无息，只能用沉默二字代替。想想，有谁愿意这样?如果有人愿意，那我真要为他感到可悲，因为他在逃避，他感到可悲，因为他在逃避，他没有认识到价值所在。.

其实，在沟通的世界里，谁都能担任主角。不在乎那个主角说话有多么动听，只在乎他的态度诚恳，去融化他人。沟通很简单，它不会复杂，它是人们之间信任的开始。那个过程才是实实在在的享受。

家，是我们的避风港。我们整天不愁吃，不愁穿，不怕失去家人的疼爱。家里的沟通往往是亲情的体现，彼此的关心。放学后回到家，我们不要只顾着享受家人为我们准备的美食，可以跟家人聊聊学校里的事、班里的学习、朋友的互助，亦或是说说爸爸妈妈的工作。

学会沟通，是一种人性的美好。你读懂了他人，他人也读懂了你，何乐而不为呢?

Hello, everyone. I’m very happy to stand here to introduce myself.

我是一个快乐、聪明的男生。我喜欢交朋友，并且我和班上同学相处的很好。篮球是我最喜欢的运动，我经常在空余时间去打篮球。通过这项游戏，我获得了很多有益的东西。

Hi Worried,

I’m sorry to know that you’re having such a bad time at the moment. The

truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be wrong,

so you don’t have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control

your temper so that you may not do or say anything you’ll regret. Here are three

useful tips:

First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of

letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors

and play team games with your friends, as physical exercise is an effective way

to get rid of anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a

positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.

I hope you’ll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.

Yours,

Jamie

“我的入学考试”英语作文译文：

为了进一步学习，我上周在一所高中参加了入学考试。我还记得参加考试的有300多人，第一天上午，语文很简单，我们要写一篇250字的作文，关于“我的家庭生活”，并解释20个短语。下午，我们考英语，有听力，造句，分析口语。口语考试时，我被问道我的生活，中学经历以及未来的希望。

第二天，我们早上考历史、地理，下午考物理、化学。

Different students like different ways to go to school. As for me, I like to go to school on foot the most. There are four reasons.

Firstly, my home is not far away from my school. It takes me only twenty minutes to get to school. Secondly, the traffic on my way to school is heavy. There are a lot of bikes, buses and cars. I think it‘s safe to go to school on foot. Thirdly, I think walking is a kind of sport. It’s good for my health. Finally, I can listen to my MP3 when I am walking. It‘s fantastic, but a little dangerous.

These are the reasons why I like to go to school on foot the most. What about you?

作文翻译：

我上学的方式

不同的人喜欢用不同的方式去学校。至于我，我最喜欢走路去学校，有四个理由：

首先，我家离学校不远。只要二十分钟就到学校了。第二，去学校路上的交通太拥挤了。有很多自行车，巴士和私家车。我觉得走路去学校很安全。第三，在我看来，走路也是一直运动。对我的健康有好处。最后，我可以一边走路一边听我的MP3。真是太棒了，不过就是有点危险。

这就是为什么我最喜欢走路上学的原因。你呢?

Dear Lily,

How is everything? I do not see you for a long time, and I miss you very much. So I write to you. I was very busy in the last month, because I have much homework to do. The final exam is coming, so I must work hard. Besides, I must learn piano very two days. It takes me some time, but I feel happy. These are my life in recent. And what’s yours? I am looking forward to your letter and tell me about your life.

Sincerely Yours,

Carla

Dear Mr. Wang,

Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of

MCEA (Maywood Chinese Education Association). Your letter clearly articulates

all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese

language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable

support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood

public schools.

Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the

first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned

that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will

affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest.

Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote

bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you

apprised of the progress we make.

Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We will continue to

do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and

those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of

China.

Yours sincerely,

George Chen
