篇3:大学生新学期计划英文

全文共 1559 字

+ 加入清单

Although I’m still a freshman in this new semester, I’ve learned a lot from the past few months. I chose English as my major because I extremely love this subject so that I will continuously devote myself into it. Maybe I’ve got not bad gradeslast term and it indeed inspired me to get more progress in the future. But what I know is that it’s still a long way to achieve my ultimate goal and I need to make great efforts. My dream is to be a translator, especially a simultaneous interpreter, but I knew it’s not easy to realize due to my limited knowledge now. So I need to work step by step.

Now it comes to my recent goals. Firstly, to be honest, I’m not good at oral English and English listening, I have to take a great deal of practice. What I plan is listening to the MP3 in order to imitate the foreigners’ accent and speak more in English. At the same time, I will do a lot of News dictation and English listening and comprehension to improve my skills. Secondly, to prepare the CET4 and the 2014National English Contest for College Students, I intend to memorize all the words in my vocabulary book within two or three months and finish my exercise books. Thirdly, I want to maintain my academic of my specialized course or do more better than ever before by working harder. Finishing my assignments and notes is what I need to insist on every day.

Just like the old saying goes, “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart”. I have a strong belief that I can realize my dream as long as I persist in it and study hard with plenty of time and patience.

尊敬的科比·布莱思特先生:

您好!我是一名11岁的男孩,特别崇拜您,敬佩您和您的给力队友“大鲨鱼”奥尼尔先生在NBA的职业生涯中的默默配合。你因为热爱打篮球,手指已经开始了变形,但你依然兢兢业业,全力为提升篮球水平而奋斗。

我记得在你离开球坛的那一天,我是多么地舍不得,我就在后面一直把你在NBA生涯中的全部比赛看了又看,看了又看,可依旧舍不得您的离开。在您离开球坛不久后,您的给力队员“大鲨鱼”奥尼尔先生也离开了球坛,我是多舍不得您的给力队员奥尼尔先生的那帅气的“鲨鱼爆扣”啊!

我特别喜欢扣篮,在自己家也经常学你们的扣篮动作,比如:大风车扣篮,鲨鱼爆扣,360°扣篮,垮下换手背扣,还在玩具篮框做过这些动作,都成功过。不过,有一次我在大风车扣篮的时候,把手给拉伤了,不过想起您的手指,我还不算什么。

科比·布莱思特先生,你激发了我对篮球的热爱,增进了我的运动潜力,谢谢您!

回想当年初识君,

黄绿大战立功勋,

如今卸甲归故里,

十年一梦紫金军。

红尘漫漫,望君珍重!

参考翻译

叮叮当,叮叮当,铃声多响亮,圣诞节快到了!我想家乐福等大卖场一定挤满购买装饰品及圣诞礼物的人潮,热热闹闹的更有温暖的气氛。

许多地方摆满了红红绿绿的圣诞红,有的地方也一一竖起又高又大的树木,挂上缤纷亮丽的灯饰及大大小小的卡片及小饰品就成了非常漂亮的圣诞树。街上还不时看到胡须洁白如雪,戴着红红尖帽的圣诞老公公,挥舞双手向人们热情打招呼。如果世界上真的有圣诞老公公的话,我想向他祈求一把小提琴和一双跳跳鞋作为我的圣诞礼物。

我希望圣诞老公公能送我一把小提琴,因为在学校常看到许多同学拉着小提琴,演奏一首又一首美妙的乐曲,常让我听到入迷。小时候我喜欢拿着玩具提琴,摸着那有弹性的琴弦及弓,感觉很有趣。读幼儿园大班时我有学过小提琴,还曾上台表演。但上小学后就没继续学琴了,现在我也完全忘记怎么拉琴,真可惜!如果圣诞老公公真的送我一把小提琴,我要好好表现,再请求妈妈可以让我上提琴课,学会真正演奏的技巧,将美妙的音乐分享给大家。

如果可以,我还希望能有一双“跳跳鞋”当圣诞礼物。因为我每天走路上学都要走好远。如果我有“跳跳鞋”,我要上学时只要穿上它,跳个二下不到五分钟就可以到学校了,又快又方便。可是我也担心如果穿上它出去玩,遇到山洞或隧道,会不会跳的太高撞的满头包。如果没有这个礼物也没关系,我也喜欢每天走路上学,路上可以看见许多洁白的鹭鸶在社区觅食,还可以看到很多草地上的小黄花。走路上学既可以看让身体健康又可以看到漂亮的风景,也是件令人开心的事!

如果圣诞老公公真的达成我的愿望,我会好好珍惜得到的礼物。我也要感谢在寒风中辛苦奔波的圣诞老公公,因为他很辛苦跑来跑去的送给许多人礼物,让大家都能心想事成。希望温馨欢乐的圣诞节能快快到来,也祝福大家都能平平安安、快快乐乐。

spring couplets, a chinese new year decoration, are an integral part of chinas new year. their beginnings go back as far as the origins of new years festivities.

春联,是中国新年的装饰,没有春联,春节就不完整。春联的来历就要说到新年的来历

according to legends in the chinas ancient past there was a monster known as nian who often came down from the mountains to eat livestock and locals. it was discovered that he was afraid of the color red and so red paper was placed around doors and windows of houses and poems for good luck were added to them. the houses with the red paper were avoided by the monster, so its inhabitants were spared. the tradition has continued until today.

根据中国古代历史传说中记载,有一个叫“年的”怪物经常从山上到村子里吃牲畜。后来人们发现这个怪物怕洪泽,所以就在门上,窗户上贴红纸,红纸上面还写一些增加转运的诗。这样,怪兽害怕贴满红纸的屋子,所以这个风俗被流传了下来,一直直到今天。

couplets are traditionally painted with black ink on two pieces of red paper which is then hung on either side of a door.

对联传统的来讲是用黑墨在两张红纸上写字,然后贴在门的两侧。

one half is hung on either side. there is an extra piece of paper painted with words of prosperity hung above the door frame. traditionally the couplets are poems consisting of two lines of either four or five characters. they are painted from top to bottom, right to left.

一边贴张。另外还有一个横批写着意味繁荣之意之字贴在门框的上方。传统的对联,上联合下联是4个或5个字,是一对诗。写对联一般是从上到下,从右到左。

different couplets have different themes. for farmers the couplets are meant to bring bounty to them, whereas businessmens couplets are meant to bring money. traditionally scholars would paint couplets and give them to their friends, relatives, and the public. many people choose to create their own couplets. many times door god or the character "fu"is added to doors along with the couplets.

不同的对联有不同的主题。比如,给农民的对联是带来好收成,商人挣跟多钱。传统学者会自己写对联赠予朋友或亲人。许多人会自己设计属于自己的对联。门神和福字一般都是和对联配套的贴在门上的。

篇20:汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感

全文共 3036 字

+ 加入清单

Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overes Rabbi Banish of Komarov, who, having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied, manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca, his beloved youngest daughter, is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation, forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to prehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.

A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes, unclean food, and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi, they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish, whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision, Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubts until the very moment of death, when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.

While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith, they e too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality, let along of salvation, attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses, and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason, relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few, release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present, living and dead.

These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship, they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.
