高二英语记叙文作文(经典20篇)

In every year the end of June, it is the beginning of my precious summer holiday. Last summer, I had a great holiday. Firstly, I spent only a week to finish all my summer homework. Then I have still almost two months to do anything I wanted. Actually, I really did what I wanted to do in last summer. I traveled to beijing with my best friend for 2 weeks. We were so happy and the trip was just perfect. In the rest of my holiday, I did not do anything even related to study. Everything is all about games. However, I will not have a chance to spend my summer holiday like the last one. There is much more homework that I have to use probably three quarters of my holiday to finish it. If there is not so much homework, I might have my ideal summer holiday in this year. My ideal holiday is that go to the beaches in México with my family. For about a whole month we can completely relax in the beautiful beach. In the morning, after the delicious México style breakfast, we can walk along the beach while enjoy the beautiful morning sunshine. In the afternoon, we can have the freshest seafood for lunch. After lunch, take a nap in the sunshade would be the best thing to do. At dusk, there is the most gorgeous sunset on the sea... I love the beach, I love summer holiday.

在每年6月底,我宝贵的暑假的开始。去年夏天,我有一个愉快的假期。首先,我只花了一个星期完成我所有的暑假作业。然后我还近两个月来做任何我想要的。事实上,我确实在去年夏天我想做什么。我去北京和我最好的朋友2周。我们是这样的快乐,只是完美的旅行。在我的假期,我没有做任何事情甚至相关研究。一切都是关于游戏。然而,我不会有机会花我的暑假喜欢最后一个。有更多的家庭作业,我可能不得不使用四分之三的节日来完成它。如果没有这么多的作业,我可能会在今年我理想的暑假。我理想的假期是去海滩和我的家人在墨西哥。大约一个月我们可以完全放松在美丽的海滩。早上,美味的墨西哥风格的早餐后,我们可以沿着海滩走,同时享受美丽的早晨的阳光。在下午,我们可以拥有最新鲜的海鲜午餐。午饭后,睡午觉的遮阳将是最好的办法。黄昏时分,有最美丽的日落在海面上……我喜欢海滩,我喜欢暑假。

Generally speaking, the wise regard these sad things as their valuable

experiences which are indispensable in their life. Whats more, never do they

have sadness haunt themselves. Quickly, they get rid of sadness and find new

pleasures of life. Thus, their life always seems so fine. On the contrary, some

pessimists always have sadness haunt them. Their mind always wanders into past

sad events, which results in their moodiness and vexation daylong, and even

causes sleepless nights, poor diets, frequent headaches, etc. Obviously, none of

these results is what we want.

As time goes by, there are going to be big changes in our everyday life. For example, when we are hungry, we dont need to cook in a hurry. Just take some pills, and everything will be OK. When we are free, we can go anywhere by spacecraft. It will be very cheap, just like taking a taxi now. And of course, if we want to see what is like under the sea, just travel down there in a flying object like UFO. Maybe there will be a lot of cities and people living there. I think itll be very easy to travel anywhere, not only in our world, but also in space and in the deep sea.

随着时间的流逝,会有大的变化在我们的日常生活。例如,当我们饿了,我们不需要做匆忙。只是需要一些药片,一切都会好的。当我们是免费的,我们可以通过宇宙飞船去任何地方。这将是非常便宜的,就像现在打的。当然,如果我们想看到海底是什么感觉,只是沿着一个飞行物体像UFO。也许会有很多城市和人住在那里。我想它会很容易旅行任何地方,不仅在我们的世界里,而且在空间和在深海。

The large number of our population has become one of the most serious

problems of our society. According to a recent survey of the National Bureau of

Statistics, there are more than 1.3 billion people in our country, which account

for about 1/5 of all the people in the world. the same survey also predicts that

our population will grow quickly in the years to come.

Overpopulation has brought about a series of negative effects to our

economic development and social security. In the first place, too many people

impose a heavy burden on our environment. As a result, we suffer from a shortage

of fresh water and natural resources. In the second place, as the supply of

labor GREatly exceeds the demand of the society, many people become employed.

This is a source of social unrest. Last but not least, we have to manufacture

all kinds of products to meet the needs of the people, which causes environment

pollution to our lakes and land.

Serious though the problem seems, we have to take some measures to tackle

it. On the one hand, the government should carry out more strictly the policy of

family planning, thus reducing the total number of population. On the other

hand, all the people should realize the harms of overpopulation. With the

concerted efforts of all the parties concerned, we’re sure to solve the problem

in the future.

In England, Germany and some other countries, children rolled eggs down hills on Easter morning, a game which has been connected to the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christ‘s tomb when he was resurrected. British settlers brought this custom to the New World.

在英国，德国和其他一些国家，孩子们在复活节早晨滚下山鸡蛋，一个游戏已经连接到滚动的岩石从耶稣基督的坟墓的时候他复活。英国殖民者把这一风俗带到新世界。

In the United States in the early nineteenth century, Dolly Madison, the wife of the fourth American President, organized an egg roll in Washington, D.C. She had been told that Egyptian children used to roll eggs against the pyramids so she invited the children of Washington to roll hard-boiled eggs down the hilly lawn of the new Capitol building! The custom continued, except for the years during the Civil War. In 1880, the First Lady invited children to the White House for the Egg Roll because officials had complained that they were ruining the Capitol lawn. It has been held there ever since then, only canceled during times of war. The event has grown, and today Easter Monday is the only day of the year when tourists are allowed to wander over the White House lawn. The wife of the President sponsors it for the children of the entire country. The egg rolling event is open to children twelve years old and under. Adults are allowed only when accompanied by children!

在美国，在第十九世纪，早期的多莉麦迪逊，第四位美国总统的妻子，组织了一个鸡蛋卷在华盛顿哥伦比亚特区已经告诉她，埃及的孩子们在金字塔前滚鸡蛋，所以她邀请华盛顿的孩子滚鸡蛋煮熟了的新首都大厦的丘陵草坪!持续的习惯，除了年内战期间。1880，第一夫人邀请到白宫儿童鸡蛋卷因为官员抱怨他们毁了国会大厦草坪。一直以来就有过，只是取消了在战争时期。该事件已经发展壮大，今天星期一复活节是一年中唯一的一天允许游客在白宫的草坪上。孩子的整个国家总统夫人的赞助商这。的滚彩蛋活动是开放给十二岁以下儿童。只允许成年人陪同孩子的时候!

Lets keep us from the noisy.We should have a quiet and good environment to study and work.And only by this can we develop well.I think that everyone makes a contribution to protect our environment,the noisy can disappear sooner or later,our world can become more and more beautiful.

随着社会的发展，噪声影响了我们的健康和工作。吵闹的结果是人们不保护我们的环境。他们认为我们的社会发展如此之快，噪音是不重要的。但是，如果我们没有一个好的环境，我们应该怎样发展我们的生活?让我们远离喧嚣，我们应该有一个安静和良好的环境来学习和工作，只有这样我们才能发展得很好，我认为每个人都作出贡献，保护我们的环境，嘈杂可以消失迟早，我们的世界变得越来越美丽。

There are four key points to study English: listening, speaking, reading

and writing.

Firstly, we should be brave to talk with others in English. By doing this,

we can improve ore talking and listening skill.

Secondly, we should try to listen to all kinds of English programmes as

much as possible. In this way, we can gradually improve our pronunciation.

Thirdly, we should often read English books. When we come across a new

word. We should guess its meaning through the contest first. Then look it up in

the dictionary to have a check. I thin,, it is a good way of reading.

Fourthly, we should practice our writing skills. Whenever we have any idea,

we should get the pen and write it down at once. It is very important to avoid

writing in Chinese way and using the Chinese grammar.

As long as we listen, speak, read and write more, we are sure to make

remarkable progress!

When I got settled, the total use of the microwave to do their own things

to eat. One day, my father saw me, I am afraid to say that I grew up as a cook.

I immediately shaken like a rattle-drum head, you said : "That is not my ideal.

When I grow up I want to IT (information technology) industries. "Yes, I bought

a computer five years ago after his father, I am familiar with it day by day.

Until last year, and I have formed a deep bond with it. From then on, I want

success in the information technology industry to make contributions to the

cause of national computer. But my father said I could only do in the field

"testing the game," is what the new game, and always let me play with, the

report there will be any games. I think what he said is not their fault, I

always play games recently, those who do not have a veteran like Flash. In

recent days, I sprouted out of a bad idea : I will be playing the game that the

network server to the black. My account will revise the highest level. However,

I Xiangliaoyouxiang, this is wrong, but was caught by the police network is not

good. When hackers but also need high computer skills. As a member of the IT

computer skills

当我闲得没事时，就总自己用微波炉做点东西吃。一天，爸爸看见我这样，说我长大恐怕是要当厨师了。我立刻把头摇得像拨浪鼓似的，说：“那不是我的理想，我长大想做IT(信息技术)行业。”

没错，自从五年前爸爸给我买来电脑后，我就一天天地熟悉它。到了去年，我已经和它结下了不解之缘。从那时候开始，我就想要在信息技术行业取得成就，为国家计算机事业做出贡献。

可是爸爸说我在这个行业中只能做“游戏测试员”，就是什么游戏新出来，总是先让我玩玩，报告游戏中有什么错误。我觉得他说的没有错，我最近一段时间老是玩游戏，那些FLASH之类的老也不用了。

最近几天，我萌生出了一个不好的想法：将我玩的那个网络游戏的服务器给黑了，将我的账号修改成最高级别。可是，我想了又想，这样做是不对的，而且被警察抓到也是不好的。而且当黑客也需要很高的电脑技术的。

成为IT行业的一员是我的理想，所以我要向这个目标前进，提高自己的电脑技术.

The years are long, and my dreams are still there; In the mottled memory of

life, there are bound to be twists and turns and hardships in the middle. When

you encounter setbacks, do you face it calmly, or do you avoid it?

In fact, setbacks are a valuable asset in life. When we are in adversity,

it is the process of accumulating wealth.

Setbacks are the cornerstone of the road to success. Learning to accept

setbacks and accepting reality will inspire fighting spirit and move forward

bravely. Just like President Lincoln, he faced adversity in his life, 8

elections and 8 failures, but it is precisely because of his selflessness,

fearlessness and courage to face that he succeeded and fulfilled his personal

dreams. Indeed, only by being brave enough to accept setbacks and constantly

accumulating life experience can we reap the first pot of gold in life.

Frustration is the lubricant of life. When the wheel of life is driving on

the rough trails, the thorns of the roadside become our obstacles. Its like the

journey of life on the sea, suddenly encountering violent storms; when the young

butterfly breaking its cocoon into a butterfly breaks its wings... There is

always a little unsatisfactory in life, as Tagore said: "God is entirely to

strengthen our will, Thats why we set up many obstacles on our way." But at the

same time as we lost, we gained the confidence and courage to deal with

setbacks, so that we can continue to improve and improve.

Setbacks are a poem in life, and inspiration after facing the difficulties

in life. Although the poet Qu Yuan is full of talent and loyalty, he encounters

the faint-hearted King Huai of Chu; Yue Fei drives his army north, vowing to

attack Huanglong and restore the Central Plains, but he is recalled to Linan by

twelve gold medals. These insightful people have experienced setbacks and

regrets. Qu Yuan sang the eternal quatrain of "Long too much breath to cover up

tears, mourning how difficult the peoples life is", full of the poets great

feelings, interpreting the deepest call of the poets soul. So frustration

exudes a kind of poetic beauty, a flicker of the spiritual light of beauty, and

a beautiful spark of free spirit flying in the vast world.

Frustration is a key to interpreting life. Life is like climbing a

mountain. In this mountain, there is never a shortage of people who climb it,

but some people give up halfway and see only a small piece of scenery around

them; Small", harvest the most beautiful scenery. When life encounters setbacks,

only persistence is the shortcut to success.

Frustration has two sides. If we see it as an ugly garment, then we are

really blocking its light; if we see it as a strong cloth, then we will walk

forward and not. Fear of restraint. Therefore, we should treat setbacks

correctly, because we always believe that adversity makes talents.

Learn to face setbacks. When we encounter setbacks, we will have more

indifference in our hearts. Setbacks are not terrible, but will bring us

strength and courage, which is an indispensable wealth in life.

小明，是我的同桌，一个普通的高中学生，出生于20--年--月--日。

他高高的个子，脸蛋上长着一双炯炯有神的大眼睛，高高的鼻梁上面架着一副黑框眼镜。下面上着一张不大不小的嘴，看上去很是神气。

小明是一个不折不扣的大书虫，每当下课或写完作业时，都能看到他捧着一本书津津有味地看着。因此他也成为了班里的“移动图书馆”。要是同学们想看书就回去找小明，他都能找出同学们需要的书。小明总是目不转睛地盯着书本，只要手里有好书，不管三七二十一都会把它看完。有一次，我们全班都安静的坐在教室里奋笔疾书，无处没有笔在纸上跃动发出的沙沙声，但唯独只有一个角落静得出奇，那就是小明的座位。原来他正在看书呢，只见他手里搓着书角，全神贯注地看着，仿佛这个世界只剩下了他一个人。时间一分一秒的过去，他终于把书给欣赏完了，于是又马上回过神来。“糟了，我的作业还没有写完呢!”说着便拿起笔飞快地写起来。结果可想而知，他没有作业，被老师狠狠地批评了一顿。

小明不仅是个读书迷，还是一个电视迷。听他妈妈说，每周放假回家，他都会第一时间打开电视，一看就是几个小时，有时连补习班都忘记去了。不知从什么时候开始，他又开始迷恋上了练字。他没事就趴在桌上练起钢笔字，经过一段时间后，他的字真的变得有点刚劲有力了呢。

小明的性格活泼开朗，而且能说会道。上课总能看到他高高举起的手，好像没有他不懂得问题一样。他待人热情友好，是个很容易相处的人。

这就是我的同桌——一个嗜书如命，活泼开朗的男孩。

It seems like a silly question, anyone in sane would give a hand to the elderly who fell. But in China, this question is becoming tricky. Many news report that there are some old people not just fell, they do it on purpose. Usually, they walk on a crowdy street, and pretend to faint or just lay down on the ground, intend to accuse the one who comes to help as a perpetrator and blackmail him/her for the treatment fee. Many people have fell for that and had to pay as there is no witness to prove their innocence. As for these negative news, people is afraid to help those old people in need, that makes some of them who are in real trouble could not get help in time. I once asked one of my friends: “Why the old people turn bad? If you see one in the street, would you help?” He said: “It is not the old people turn bad, it is the bad people turn old. I will video him/her to make a statement first, then decide if I would help.”

这似乎是个愚蠢的问题,任何清醒的人遇到跌倒的老人都会伸出援助之手。但在中国，这个问题变得棘手。很多新闻报道说有些老人不只是跌倒而已，他们是故意这么做的。通常他们会走到人潮涌动的街头，假装晕倒或者是直接躺在地上，想要指控那些来帮助他的人为肇事者，敲诈他们要治疗费。很多人都上当了，由于没有目击者证明他们的清白，他们被迫支付了费用。正因为这些负面新闻，人们害怕去帮助那些需要帮助的老人，也因此造成了那些真正有困难的老人没有得到及时的帮助。我曾经问我一个朋友：“为什么现在的老人变坏了?如果你在街上看到这样的老人你会帮助吗?”他说：“不是老人变坏了，是坏人变老了。我会先录像让他做一个声明，再决定是否帮助他。”

Sir, it so happened that I was on my way home and noticed who were around

and what they were doing. A man in a dark suit was walking out of the door, with

an umbrella in his hand. A man was sweeping near the telephone booth. A woman

and her child were crossing the road. There was a basket on the womans right

arm. A man with a cap was on a ladder,cleaning the wall. A man was reading under

the tree. In the telephone booth, a girl was making a call. By the side of the

street, I found a black car parked there with a door open. In the car there were

two persons. The driver was sitting in the front, and the passenger was in the

back.

Sir, it so happened that I was on my way home and noticed who were around

and what they were doing. A man in black was standing by the door, with an

umbrella in his hand. A man with a cap was wiping the wall on a ladder. Under

the tree there was a man reading a newspaper. A black car was parked by the side

of the road with a door open. There was a driver sitting in the front and a

passenger in the back. A lady with a child was walking across the street. She

was carrying a basket on the arm. On the other side of the load, a man was

sweeping the street near the telephone booth. There was a girl making a phone

call in the telephone booth.

With the development of technology, today we live in the world with high

technology. People seem to cant live without computer and smart phone, once

they dont have smart phone at hand for a while, the seem to be lost and feel

something miss in their life. When I talk to my friends at table, I find them

always play smart phones or check on the text all the time. Though we sit face

to face, the distance between us is so far. The high technology brings isolation

between people. Some people dont often visit their parents and friends, for

they believe that a call can solve all the things. Communication in face to face

is far more important than a call. It is time for some people to put down their

smart phones for a while when they are communicating to others.

I love reading, which enriches my knowledge and helps me know more about

the world. I love the school atmosphere. Students study together here and make

progress gradually. My favorite place here is library. I can read many books

here. Once I have some questions, I can find a lot of information. We fight for

the goal and plan details in the library in group task. I have so many good

memories to study here, which makes me so happy. No matter which school I am in,

I will always find this quiet corner and study what I like. I love the feelings

there.

As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.

I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.

问起我印象最深的同桌有哪些，我会毫不犹豫地告诉你:有“刀子嘴”、“臭美”、“闲事王”……

第一位同桌——“刀子嘴”

我和“刀子嘴”本是栓在同一条绳上的蚂蚱，关系铁着呢!可自从成了同桌后，我和他时常为一点鸡毛蒜皮的小事大闹不休。可谓是真假孙悟空大闹天宫，谁也不甘罢休。说到那薄薄的嘴皮，可谓是人人皆知!要是谁惹火了他，可真是捅了马蜂窝哟!她发起火来，声音又尖，连我这“巧嘴丫头”也得让他三分。不是有一句俗吗?“刀子嘴，豆腐心。”他就符合这句话了。我和她吵架后，只要我遇到困难，他仍像往常一样热情地帮助我。当我缺少墨水的时候，总是他不声不响、恰到好处地递上来;当我有小病小灾的时候，也总是他嘘寒问暖地关心我。

第二位同桌——“臭美”

“厕所里照镜子——臭美”。臭美是我这位同桌的一大特点。她总是把额前的头发用啫喱水弄翘，上课时，还故意把头发轻轻地摸来摸去，有意引起同学们的注意。久而久之，“臭美”便成了她的绰号。每当我嘲笑她“臭美”时，她总会摸摸翘，笑嘻嘻地说:“这不叫臭美，叫作时尚，懂吗?“臭美”确实懂得时尚，她这一技之长在班上还派上用场呢!班里排练文艺节目跳藏族舞，她设计做成的彩色坎肩把姑娘们个个打扮得像正宗的“雪山妹子”呢!

第三位同桌——“闲事王”

“闲事王”是我的“大克星”，当她被老师换到我身旁我心想:老师呀老师呀，你怎么把她换到我这儿来呀?真是“卤水点豆腐——一物降一物!”我和她坐几天就忍无可忍了。只要我上课开一点小差，她就会狠狠地给我一记“重拳”，说:“上课要认真听，不然我跟老师告状!”还把老师搬来吓唬我，.“哼，咱们骑驻看唱本——走着瞧吧!”也不甘示弱，不仅小心谨慎，不给她可乘之机，而且还寻找她的破绽给她一个狠狠的回击。因为有个“闲事王”在身力立，我可真是“哑巴吃黄连——有苦说不出”，不过，她的“紧箍咒”倒是使我的成绩直升云霄，稳稳地坐上了全班第一的位置!

这就是我印象最深的3位同桌，她们是不是与众不同呢?

There are various kinds of jobs in the world, such as writing, nursing, teaching and engineering. But different people choose different jobs as their ideal careers. This is because everyone has his own interest.

As for me, I have made up my mind to be a teacher. I choose to do so mainly for three reasons. First, I want to teach because I like the pace of academic calendar. Two long vacations offer me an opportunity for reflection, research and writing. Secondly, I want to teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lesson, to stimulate myself and my students. And I can have the opportunity to keep on learning. Finally, I want to teach because, being around the students who are beginning to grow and change in front of me, I will grow and change with them too.

But teaching is no easy job at all. I must study cleverly to obtain more knowledge. And, at the same time, I will make every effort to purify my soul so that I can become an architect of mans soul.

[高二关于理想英语作文

There is only one word which can describe my childhood. The word is“carefree”that so many todays kids do not understand， although they have delicious food， beautiful clothes and pretty toys.

My parents never forced me to do anything. I recited a lot of poems and fine articles， but not for performing before their friends and our relatives， just because I enjoyed rhythms and words. So I never considered them a burden。 Later， when I was in the primary school， the homework was very few and easy to do， and I was never asked to be the top students.

Nor did my parents stop me from doing anything. After I finished my homework， I could stay outside for a whole afternoon to do whatever I liked. I used to go swimming in the river in summer， skating on the ice in winter. Sometimes I played basketball or football with my little friends. I could read any book， and my parents never examine it before my reading.

Sometimes I think my childhood was boring and not unforgettable， but I was really carefree and happy then. What is more important than to give a child a happy childhood?

只有一个词可以描述我的童年。这个词是“无忧无虑”,很多今天的孩子不懂,尽管他们有美味的食物,漂亮的衣服和漂亮的玩具。

我父母从不强迫我做任何事。我背诵很多诗,好文章,但不执行他们的朋友和亲戚之前,仅仅因为我喜欢节奏和单词。所以我从不认为他们是负担。后来,当我还在小学,作业很少,很容易做,而且我从未要求最优秀的学生。

我的父母也没有阻止我做任何事。我完成了我的作业后,我可以呆在外面整整一个下午做任何我喜欢的。我过去在河里去游泳在夏天,在冬天在冰上滑冰。有时我和我的朋友打篮球或足球。我可以读任何书,和我的父母从来没有检查过我的阅读。

有时我觉得我的童年是无聊和不难忘,但我当时真的无忧无虑的快乐。什么是更重要的不是给孩子一个快乐的童年吗?

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mothers day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天， 年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟， 这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mothers day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parentsback door.

她那天早上给母亲打去电话， 祝母亲节日愉快。随后， 她的母亲向她提起， 因为春天已经来临， 所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿， 年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. i know where we can find you all you want, he said. get the kids and cmon.

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

后来， 她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时， 他突然从椅子上跃起。我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西， 他说， 带上孩子， 走吧。

于是， 他们就出发了， 驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上， 那种天气只有5月中旬才会有：闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿过废弃的苹果园， 来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasnt a lilac bush in sight.

come with me , the man said. over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebodys farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. im sure he wont mind if we pick a few lilacs.

他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。

随我来， 那个男人说， 翻过那座小山， 有个老地窖， 几年前是一个人的农场， 四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信， 要是我们采几束紫丁香， 他不会介意。

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

还没等他们到达半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是， 孩子们开始奔跑。不久， 那位母亲也开始跑起来， 直至到达山顶。

那里， 远离了过往司机的视野， 避开了纷扰的文明世界， 高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束， 几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛， 把脸埋在鲜花中， 啜饮着芳香， 陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husbands pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure. finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿， 那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝， 那儿挑一束， 然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙， 像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。

然而， 他们终于还是返回了汽车， 走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停， 那个男人驾着车， 那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑， 她周围放满了鲜花， 眼睛里充满着向往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, stop the car. stop right here! the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

当他们离家不足3英里时， 她突然向丈夫大声喊道：停车， 就在这里停车!

那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么， 女人就已经下了车， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院， 因为这是一个美丽的春日， 所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头， 只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里， 独自一人， 低着头， 背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆， 将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头， 露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿， 都兴高采烈。随后， 那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时， 坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手， 手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。

mom, the kids asked, who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebodys mother?the mother said she didnt know the old woman. but it was mothers day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldnt be cheered by flowers?besides, she added, i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did.

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

妈妈， 孩子们问， 那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?他们的母亲说， 她不认识那个老太太， 但今天是母亲节， 她看起来是那么孤独， 而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。再说， 她补充道， 我拥有你们， 而且我还有自己的母亲， 即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。

孩子们得到了满意的答案， 但她的丈夫却没有。第二天， 他买了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后， 每隔一段时间， 他就会增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mothers day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old womans face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那个男人， 那个年轻母亲是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我们自家的院子都会散发出浓烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母亲节， 我们的孩子都要采撷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都会记起一位孤独的老太太脸上露出的笑容， 以及笑容里呈现出的那种慈祥。
