谚语是一门语言的精华，是一个民族智慧的结晶。玩味谚语能够让人变聪明，使用谚语能让作文多加分!下面，英语老师将为大家整理一些常用的谚语，并加以内力引导，点穴你的写作命脉，给高中英语作文增色。

1. Happiness takes no account of time.

【翻译】欢乐不觉时光过。

【解释】

这句话在写各种记叙文时都能用得上，一般放在最后一段的开头，常见于北京卷情景作文的“外出活动”类话题。一旦出现“大家一起出门，做了个什么事儿，然后回家或回学校”这样的话题时，就可以在文章的最后一段写上这样一句话：

As the saying goes， happiness takes no account of time. After 3 hours‘ work， talk and laugh， a gorgeous sunset reminded us that it‘s time to return. Exhausted as we were， we felt our time and effort extremely worthwhile，for 。。。(此处写上活动的意义，如“we devoted the whole afternoon to environmental protection.”)。

正如谚语有云，欢乐不觉时光过。经过了三个小时的辛劳与欢笑，壮丽的夕阳告诉我们，该回家了。尽管很疲惫，我们仍然觉得这些时间、精力花的很值，因为。。。(此处写上活动的意义，如“我们把整个下午都贡献给了环保事业。”)。

北京卷08年考“外出捡垃圾”，09年考“外出种树”，两年的真题都能用到这个谚语和上述表达，大家一定要认真掌握，活学活用!

2. Time and tide wait for no man.

【翻译】时光如潮水，奔腾不待人。

【解释】

这句话是“珍惜时间”话题的必备表达。既可以放在文章开头，又可以放在最后一段第一句。

“Time and tide wait for no man." What a truth it is! If the tide has receded， how can a sailor sail away for his voyage in the sea? Similarly， if the time has gone，how can we enrich our journey in our life?

”时光如潮水，奔腾不待人”，这是何等的真理!潮水退去，水手如何能继续海中的航行?时光流逝，你我如何再灿烂生命的旅程?

【注解】

1、为了体现充沛的情绪，这里用了两个反问句，形成了颇为严格的对仗结构。

2、这句话的汉语和英语同样精彩，值得玩味：在翻译过程中，使用了一个汉语写作中的重量级技巧：形容词当动词用。看出在哪儿了吗?对，就是这个“灿烂生命的旅程”。这着着实实是一个技巧!相似的表达还有很多，老师当场写首诗教给你们：

寂寞我的冬夜

去温柔你的黎明

湿润我的眼眶

去多彩你的黄昏

不安了生命的轨道

又渺小了宇宙的星辰

只期待与你相遇

是沧桑不变的真诚

哈哈，教了几年的英语作文，没想到中文文采也有提高啊，看来语言果然是相通的!同学们赶紧奋起直追吧，期待早日被你超越!

1、学校的中央有一座教学楼。

There is a teaching building in the middle of the school.

2、楼的南边有一个游泳池。

As wimming pool lies to the south of the building.

3、楼的后面有许多树。

There are many trees behind the building.

4、楼的前边有一个小花园。

In front of the building lies a small garden.

5、楼的对面是宿舍。

Opposite the building is a dorm.

7、厨房和客厅挨着。

8、墙上挂着一张世界地图。

A map of the world hangs on the wall.

9、桌子下面有一只可爱的小狗。

10、屋子的后面有一个书架。

At the back of the room is a bookshelf.

中国民间有“官三民四船五”的传统，官家的小年是腊月二十三，百姓家是腊月二十四，水上人家则是腊月二十五。我们北方地区的习俗是腊月二十三过小年，小年这一天是中国整个农历春节庆祝活动的开始和伏笔。

由于外国人不过小年，所以在英文中确实没有小年的准确词汇或释义，多数都是中国人来进行定义和描述的短语或翻译，孰优孰劣还需要您来分析了。

1.【xiǎo nián】

这就是音译了，看来这应该是最准确的翻译了，汉语拼音，哈哈。

2.【off year】

这一解释出于《汉英大辞典》，off year是目前使用最普遍的翻译，但是这个翻译却并不贴切，因为off year在英文解释中表示“非大选年”的意思，被中国人转义为“小年”，同时off year在英文中还指果树、竹子的歉收年，所以off year的译法与我们中国小年的祭灶习俗等活动完全是风马牛不相及。

3.【a lunar year (in which the last month has 29 days)】

这一解释出于《上海译文汉英大辞典》，意思指农历腊月是小建的年份，也就是说，农历腊月只有29天，没有年三十的年份。同时《外研社汉英双语现代汉语词典》中也有类似解释。

在《汉英词典》中出现的对于小年的解释：festival on the 23rd or 24th of the 12th month of the lunar year, when sacrifices are made to the kitchen god 意思是节日，腊月二十三或二十四日，旧俗这天祭灶

小年习俗的英语翻译：

4.小年的风俗 Off-year customs

小年除了祭灶仪式外，前前后后还有许多风俗。如扫尘、贴对联、剪窗花、洗浴婚嫁等。可以说“小年”是“大年”春节的序曲，在民间人们把这段时间称之为“迎春日”。

1)扫尘 Sweeping the Dust

为了迎接灶王爷，人们清除灶灰、扫墙，俗称“扫尘”。按民间的说法：“尘”与“陈”谐音，扫尘有“除陈布新”的含义，其用意是要把一切“穷运”、“晦气”统统扫地出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。因此，到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的气氛。

2)灶王爷 The Kitchen God

小年前夕，大街小巷的杂货铺、百货摊都代卖“灶王爷”像。这种木版水印的神像，大多来自“版画之乡”——天津杨柳青。那和蔼、肃穆、善静的灶王爷盛装端坐，给人以一家之主的感觉。人们都要“请”回来一帧新的灶王爷像(不能说“买”)，来代替陈旧不堪的灶王爷像。

3)写对联 Write couplets

家家户户都开始写对联。神灵前的对联特别讲究，多为敬仰和祈福之言。佛龛神像的两侧要贴上一副对联，上联写“上天言好事”，下联写“下界保平安”或“回宫降吉祥”，横幅是“一家之主”。因为紧靠春节春联也一并写成。民间讲究有神必贴，每门必贴。内容丰富，妙语联珠。

4)剪窗花 Paper-cut for window

所有准备工作中，剪贴窗花是最盛行的民俗活动。内容有各种动物、植物等，如喜鹊登梅，燕穿桃柳，孔雀戏牡丹 ，狮子滚绣球 ，二龙戏珠，莲年有鱼，鸳鸯戏水等。

5)洗浴理发 Bath and Haircut

大人、小孩都要洗浴理发。民间有“有钱没钱，剃头过年”的说法。

6)举办婚事 Marriage held

过了二十三，民间认为诸神上了天，百无禁忌。娶媳妇不用择日子，称为赶乱婚。直至年底，举行结婚典礼的特别多。

经过小年的扫尘，处处焕然一新。新贴的春联，抬头见喜。活灵活现的门神，保佑着平安。精美的窗花、五彩的年画和花团锦簇的灯笼，无不显示着小年之后，人们喜气洋洋开始迎接除夕过大年了。

Dear friend,

I have a great news to inform here. Through long efforts, Beijing has been granted the right to host 2008 Olympic games. As a resident in Beijing, I feel quite excited and like to share with you my happiness.

This success means a lot more than a game to me. In the first place, this Games will definitely promote the development of our economy. According to a recent survey by some experts, this games will raise our GDP by about 3%, and offer about 10,000 jobs. What’s more, our culture will be widely recognized and accepted all over the world through the Games. People will come over from every corner of the world, and experience Chinese culture in every aspect. Besides, through the games, our living environment will be greatly improved. For example, the public transportation system will be up-dated. Moreover, it’s known that more trees will be planted, and grassland will be considerably expanded.

My friend, I really look forward to the coming of this great Games. As an individual, I’m all ready to offer my help in any way I can. I also hope to invite you all to come here, and watch the games in 2008.

Sincerely yours,

It isn’t hard to grow up into a responsible member of society。

I can well remember an incident that happened on a rainy Sunday afternoon。 I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light at a crossing when a girl of about ten was knocked down by a passing car， which drove off quickly。 A man immediately rushed to the girl to give her first aid and I joined in without hesitation。 Luckily she was not badly injured and we sent her to the nearest hospital。 Compared with the escaped driver， I am proud of what I did。

As a member of the society， I am aware that being responsible is what it takes to make a better society。

The Duanwu Festival, which is also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is an

ancient Chinese traditional festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth

lunar month. For thousands of years, various celebrating activities are held all

around the country. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats are the most pertinent

ones, which are said to be in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet. In some places,

people spread realgar wine on the children in the hope of protecting them from

the evil spirits. Many people consider May as an especially dangerous time for

diseases in a year, and therefore they hang moxa and calamus and things like

that around the doors to ward off evil and diseases and pray for good luck.

It has been a hot topic discussed heatedly for the time being that how indeed the media influence our teens. Different peopie come up with different opinions. The following passages are two different comments given by several teenagers ranging from 15 to 20.

One, Teens are the most influenced and the easiest to be influenced by the media. The media influence the way they dress, talk and conduct themselves. From the latest trends to the coolest celebrities, they imirate what they see, whether its Katie Holmess new haircut or the pink shirt that Christina Aguilera wore. So it follows that more serious actions like carrying arms or doing drugs could be copied as well.

Young people are impressionable. Therefore, some request that the media should take responsibility by changing some of the content of their shows especially those for teens. They are huge consumers of media, so networks should show them respect by promoting positive images. They think some shows confuse the lines between entertainment and life.The producers know their audiences are young, so they should realize that teens watching "reality" shows might not be ableto tell the difference between fantasy and fiction.

Opposing voices have also come from others. They think that they use the media--magazines, television and movies--to connect to one another and to the world, so naturally,theyre influenced by the images the media present. For example, a boy would be lying if he said he didnt want to be like Brad Pitt. Pitts flawless style, good looks and moneymaking talent seem to define whats "cool".

Nevertheless, those teens hold that the media only provide information, what they as viewers do with that knowledge is up to themselves. They have to learn to make their own choices and accept responsibility for their actions. To blame entertainment figures for certain crimes committed by teens isfunny. Its not the fault of TV. Media are an expression of our culture--not the cause. Its time we stop making the media a scapegoat for our nations problems. Its not the medias job to make sure kids understand what theyre watching; that responsibility belongs to parents. Parents and schools should dedicate more time to establishing clear rules of discipline.The influence of parents and teachers--the teens true role model--carries more weight with teenagers than what they hear on the radio or see at the movies.

中国正在修建珠港澳垮海大桥，在社会上有人支持也不乏有反对之音。请你根据以下提示，就其利弊写一篇120词左右的英语短文，并提出自己的观点。1、创多项之最，最长(全长50公里)，最难(技术难度极大);2、整体工程耗资巨大，该项目投资总额高达726亿元,如果有这笔预算的话，投资在国内的贫困地区，可以帮助很多贫困的人们;3,对周围自然环境将产生负面影响;4、建成后可实现港珠澳一小时经济圈，有利于各自优势互补，加快本地区经济发展;5、对“一国二制”的顺利实施具有重大深远意义;6、建成后，要求其做到最靓，成为一座标志性建筑，并成为富有吸引力的景点。

提示词：一国二制One country, two systems;珠港澳大桥Zhuhai Hong Kong and Macao Bridge，一小时经济圈One-hour economic circle

It’s well-known to us that the Zhuhai Hong Kong and Macao Bridge is being built in China. Of course it is not only well praised but also resulting in much doubt as well. Its advantages and disadvantages can be listed as follows.

Some hold the view that it is 50 kilometers long(the longest bridge in the world)and it must be a big challenge for the engineers to overcome the technical problems . Besides, the investment of the whole project is up to 72.6 billion. If we use the huge money for the western poor areas, we can help them to live a better life to some degree. Finally, it will have a negative effect on the natural environment.

However, it is true that some show much support to the project. They have sufficient reasons for it.Firstly,after finishing the project, the one-hour economic circle will be realized and the local economy of all sides can benefit each other. Secondly,the bridge will be required to be the best one and become a landmark which is an attractive scenic spot. Most important of all, there will be a profound and significant meaning to carry out “one country, two systems”smoothly.

Personally speaking, building the bridge brings more advantages than disadvantages, so I am in favor of it.

The mouse is a most effective device used by people to communicate with a computer.

使用鼠标是人与电脑交流最有效的装置。

For most people, it’s almost impossible to operate a computer without a mouse, let alone surf the Internet. A well-chosen mouse is really handy, flexible and convenient in controlling the screen. With the functions of inserting, deleting, moving and copying, it enables us to edit test, browse web page and download what we want. It can even bring us a flood of music, movies and PC games. Just imagine, all this can be done with a cute mouse.

对大多数人来说，它没有鼠标操作电脑是不可能的，更不用说上网。选择一个好的鼠标是非常方便的，在控制屏灵活方便。具有插入，删除，移动和复制，它使我们能够测试编辑，浏览网页和下载我们想要的东西。它甚至可以给我们带来大量的音乐，电影和电脑游戏。想象一下，所有这一切都可以做一个可爱的小老鼠。

A convenient tool can certainly make our work easier, but it doesn’t always help in a positive way. Too much ready information on our fingertips leaves little room for knowledge pursuing. Too many ready answers make us less excited in finding truth. Relying too much on mouse clicking makes us lazier and less creative both mentally and physically.

一个方便的工具，可以使我们的工作更容易，但它并不总是能提供一种积极的方式。在我们的指尖留下太多准备好的资料很少追求知识的空间。太多的现成的答案让我们在寻求真理不那么兴奋。过分依赖鼠标使我们懒惰和缺乏创意的身心。

As students born after 1990, we have so many advantages. We are usually kind and helpful. When someone is in trouble, we always give him or her a hand. We are also active. We like to do sports and go traveling. Most of us can work hard in class and play happily after school. Besides, we are imaginative and creative. We always try something new and do everything differently.

On the other hand, we also have some disadvantages. Sometimes we can’t express our opinions in proper ways; sometimes we are a little over confident. And many students have no brothers or sisters, so they may do evthing for themselves. These problems may make us seem impolite, even we can’t communicate with others well. So it’s the most important for us to learn how to get on well with others.

After the college entrance exams，some companies that sell learning products are always trying to do anything they can to make full use of Number One Scholars in order to sell their products.

In fact，its not easy for students to become Number One Scholars. Most of them succeed not because of the products，but their proper way of learning and hard work. Every student has his own way of studying，so the Number One Scholars experience may not be suitable for all the students. Most important of all，not all of these products are good enough to help us study.

事实上，学生成为一个数字是不容易的。他们中的大多数成功不是因为产品，而是他们正确的学习和努力工作的方式。每个学生都有自己的学习方式，所以，一个学者的经验可能不适合所有的学生。最重要的是，并不是所有这些产品都足以帮助我们学习。

例：1、生活中困难不可避免，面对困难需要信心…

2、试举一例说明信心在学习(考试、生活等)方面的作用…

3、你对困难的态度…

It is well-known that we exist in a dynamic world with various difficulties. When we are faced with them, nothing is more important than hope and self-confidence. With confidence, we can find sometimes the question is not as “huge”as we imagine.

Take most of us for example, the entrance exam to college seems to be a horrible monster. Accordingly, some people give up, some persist. In my eyes, with confidence, right assessment of the difficulties, as well as full preparation, try and exert your strength, and then we will overcome all problems and challenges. On the whole, I believe we youngsters should face the difficulties in right manner. And nothing is impossible, brave it out and just do it!
