秋雨的英文缩写(优秀20篇)

作者：李可馨

在康威老先生叫我去把他的旧鞋送到鞋店里修一修。

我见一个小男孩身上穿的印着大角麋鹿的运动衫很好看，就问他在哪儿买的，多少钱。正在玩小狗的他告诉我在城里的商店。

康威老先生给了我1美元45美分，说这是他仅有的了。我向妈妈讲那件运动衫有多棒，妈妈就给了我3美元。

我一买到那件运动衫就立刻穿上了。在鞋店，老板说鞋不能再修了。我拿着鞋走了出去却又好像看见老人赤着脚在那里等我。我走回鞋店，脱下运动衫，并说为什么要买一双鞋。

售货员说那位老先生想要双软皮鞋。她拿出了一个标价为4美元50美分的鞋盒。我想用那件运动衫和1美元45美分换那双鞋。但售货员什么也没说，只是拿了一双长腰袜子放进鞋盒。

回去后，我对老先生说他的鞋不能再修了，老先生并没有失望，说他自己修一修。我打开鞋盒，老先生用他的大手抚摸着鞋，泪水流了下来。他又拿出了一件红色运动衫。和我想要的那件一模一样。

他说是因为早上看见我想要才用小狗换的……

一天，周瑜让诸葛亮十天内造10万支箭，诸葛亮说，只要三天就够了。

第三天早上大雾弥漫，诸葛亮用长绳把二十只船连起来，在上面放上稻草人。二十只船来到曹军水寨，曹操下令放箭。

这时诸葛亮和鲁肃正在船内对饮，雨点般的箭一起射向二十只船。过了一会，二十只船的一侧已经受满了箭，诸葛亮下令让船掉头，让船的另一侧受箭，于是另一侧也被射满了箭。

当太阳升起时，大雾散去，船上大约被射了十几万只箭。诸葛亮朝着曹军的水寨大声的说：“谢谢曹丞相的箭。”曹操这时才明白自己中计了。

当返回陆地时，船上已经有十多万只箭了，周瑜佩服不已。

天渐渐有些阴了，秋雨也悄然莅临大地。

秋天的雨不再像夏天那么热烈，它已不能再连成那一泻千里的雨幕，但却也别有一番风味。你看，那淅淅沥沥的雨滴，就像一根根细长的玻璃线，晶莹透亮。落到地上，便成了一颗颗小小的宝石，可爱极了。可若单单看那有些稀疏的银丝，却又给你一种高邈、静谧的感受，让你的心灵得到一种从未有过的宁静。

雨渐渐大了，在水泥路上形成的斑点也多了。叶子被雨冲得微微发颤。原本深红色的道路越发的色泽浓郁了。青色的塑胶球场也仿佛涂了一层新漆。

再看我们，正在操场上跑操。清凉的雨点打到脸上、头发上，你并不会觉得冷，反而会有一种清爽的感觉。仿佛经过雨的抚摸，连空气都变得让人舒爽了。微微湿润的发丝，稍稍发潮的校服，都让人充分感到了秋天的气息。

雨停了，天地间仿佛都变了。那原本微微干瘪的树叶，吸足了雨水，又发出了一份夏天才有的生机。操场仿佛被施了魔法，一下子就变得整洁敞亮了。太阳的澄光穿过云层，均匀地洒在了大地上。连草儿、花儿都挺直了腰杆，打量起这个雨后的世界。

秋雨，使人爱恋的秋雨，你的身姿让世界发出了属于秋天的气息。你让我的思绪更加清明，你让我的内心感到宁静，你让我见到了一个更加静谧、端庄的世界。

啊！总是宁静却又动人心弦的秋雨！

周瑜妒忌诸葛亮聪明，要干掉诸葛亮。

一次周瑜对诸葛亮说：“我军与曹军交战需要弓箭，可现在缺箭请你们赶制十万支箭，十天给我。”这时诸葛亮说：“不，十万支箭，只需三天。”周瑜不信，诸葛亮又写下军令状，说三天之内不成甘受惩罚。

过了一会诸葛亮见到鲁肃。要向鲁肃借二十条船，每条般上三十个士兵，般用青布幔子遮住，还要一千多个草把子，排在船两边。

鲁肃照办了，就等诸葛亮子。可诸葛亮前两天没有一点动静，到了第三天五更，诸葛亮将鲁肃请入船中，说：“现在请你和我去取箭。”鲁肃问道：“去哪儿取?”诸葛亮说“不用问，去了便知道。”船不一会儿开到了曹军水寨。诸葛亮让士兵们把船头朝西，船尾朝东，一字摆开，又叫士兵们擂鼓，鲁肃问：“曹兵出来怎么办?”诸葛亮回答道：“放心，大雾天，曹操不敢派兵出来。”果不其然，曹操不敢派兵出去，只是叫人放箭，一万多名操兵弓箭手一起放箭，没一会一边的草把便全是箭，诸葛亮便下令船头朝车，船尾朝东继续受箭。放了一个晚上。草把上全是箭，诸葛亮下令让士兵高喊：“谢曹丞相的箭”。说完竟开船回周营。回到周营，鲁肃把事情一五一十地给周瑜说了。周瑜长叹一口气说自己比不上诸葛亮。

德诺10岁那年因输血不幸染上了艾滋病。伙伴们全部躲着他，只有艾迪仍旧和他玩，并熬了花草汤给他喝，但没见成效。

德诺病得越来越厉害。夜里，德诺梦到了200亿年前的宇宙，找不到回来的路。艾迪把自己的球鞋给德诺拿着，说有了这双鞋他肯定在附近不用害怕。

孩子们身上的钱差不多用完了，船也破了，艾迪带着德诺回到家乡。不久，德诺就住进医院。艾迪常常去看他。两人有时还会玩装死游戏来吓护士。

秋天的某个下午，他们又玩装死的游戏，然而德诺真的死了。艾迪陪着德诺的妈妈回家，为没能找到治病的药而难过。德诺的妈妈搂着艾迪说，艾迪给了德诺快乐和友谊就是生命的药方。

周瑜看到诸葛亮挺有才干，心里很是妒忌。

有一天，周瑜请诸葛亮十天造完十万只箭，可是诸葛亮说：“既然交战，十天造好，必然误了大事。我只需三天。”这时诸葛亮说：“今日来不及了。从明天起，到第三日，请派五百个军士到江边来搬箭。”诸葛亮喝了几杯就走了，周瑜把鲁肃叫到身旁说：“你去探听探听，看他怎么打算，回来报告我。”

鲁肃见了诸葛亮可是诸葛亮请鲁肃帮忙，“你借我二十条船，每条船是要三十名军士。船用清布幔子遮起来，还要一千多个草把子，排在船的两边。我自有妙用。可不能让都督知道，否则我的计划就完了。”鲁肃答应了他，他对周瑜说诸葛亮没有造箭。

到了第三日可是诸葛亮让船上的军士一边擂鼓一边大声呐喊，鲁肃很是担心，那一边的曹操这是知道了可是这是大雾，可是也不能让他们近前，调来了六千名弓弩手。每一条船上都有五六千只箭，二十条船总共十万多支。周瑜告诉鲁肃，长叹一声说：“诸葛亮神机妙算，我真比上他！”

今夜，又是一场秋雨。

喜欢秋雨，喜欢在秋雨来时，静静地依着窗，安静地听雨。

秋，是任何时光都挡不住的，就如一场场秋雨，或清晨，或傍晚，亦或是深夜，终是来了。

夜里的雨，该是秋雨中的精灵了。熟睡的人们无从知道它从何时开始，只任它稀稀落落地携着风，恰到好处地裹着凉意，走进梦中。我，就在那一瞬间醒来，是悠悠的乡愁唤醒了我，接收风带给我的乡音。就那么坐在窗边，雨从稀落变得密集，敲打窗棂的雨滴愈发多了，不是雨急，而是知道我的心一样渴望看到这夜里的秋雨。

喧闹城市睡去的夜里，只有我在窗边，静静地看雨，雨依着我的心墙，淅淅沥沥敲打着夜的心窗，冷清的夜变得热闹了，白日里各种喧嚣的余音，藏在这雨里，快了秋走向我的脚步。都说一叶知秋，秋雨是最知道这深意的！

从天而降的雨，迎着橘黄的路灯，如时光隧道一般，清洗着岁月中所有尘埃和往事，无论生活是甜是咸，在雨中都淡了。别看是一场雨，却力抵千金，它柔柔地挥手，厚厚的岁月尘埃轻松被穿越，直入心房，让人喜着，爱着，那种穿越，在心底是能荡起涟漪的，暖暖的，柔柔的，心在其中，自然醉了。

有人说，雨是天空的眼泪，是感恩大地厚爱的回报。要我说，这雨，是上天给大地诗情画意的布景，在天与地之间，雨是天地相思的见证。多少思念，都会在这雨中放下，安然。那柔肠百转的离愁，是叶与树告别的清音，是生灵播下思念的信讯，心睡去了，梦便会生长。

雨，铺开了，从雨帘变成了雨幕，落下的汪洋中藏着深深浅浅的惆怅，此时，雨已不再是简单的雨了，是天与地传达心事的盟约。

坐在那里才知道，原来品秋雨是需要勇气的。那落在屋檐，滴在树梢，敲在窗台，洒向大地的雨，不是轻易能读懂的，那是天地舒展汪洋里的心事，不懂天地的人，是万难读懂的。

眼前的雨，冰清玉洁的飘落，全然没有坠地时的痛苦，一滴的世界里，落下的是晶莹的开始，心的汪洋瞬间多了起来。

落下的雨滴变成了水花，如孩童的眼神一般干净，让人好生喜欢，那破碎又复合的经历，重复着，执着着，不是泪水，是甘愿付出的欢畅。

雨，在我的注视中调皮了起来，飘洒如飞花，浸润满怀诗意，在流转中展现生命的精彩。它与我的目光相遇，痴痴地跌落又飞起，冰凉的世界就那么被感动了。

雨大了，重重地敲打着窗，向我诉说它的梦，它的向往，叮咚声里，我读懂了它的忧伤，它的快乐，它的幸福！

人们都说“一场秋雨一场寒”。今天，我真正认识到了这一神奇的现象。

早上，天不算太好，呼呼的风夹杂着树叶，不断地向行人们发起“攻击”。温度也像被风吹掉了似的，无论什么东西都是冰凉的。蹲下来拾起一片被风吹落的树叶，一阵冰凉的感觉瞬间蔓延到了整个手掌，拇指与食指顿时冷飕飕的，只依稀的感觉到了那细小的纹路。

上学路上空荡荡的，正因为这样，风似乎更加野蛮，它咆哮着、嘶吼着，把树上的叶子成捧成捧的刮了下来。

过了大概半小时，像被一阵狂风刮来似的，漫天的雨滴顿时落了下来，整个校园似乎因为它的出现变得热闹起来，时不时传来几声兴奋的呼喊。

雨越下越大，很快就像瓢泼的一样。远远望去，雨幕就像一个壮观的大瀑布。当你走近时，那豆大的雨珠会打在你身上，痒痒的，还掺杂了几丝痛痛的。

中午时分，活跃了一上午的风和雨似乎玩累了，进入了午休时间，代替它们的只有一片寂静，经过雨和风的洗礼，整个世界变得异常清新，街道、马路、操场都变得一尘不染。

但这雨本性不改，才刚过四五点，随着风的几声怒吼，雨又开始了它无休无止的“表演”。

雨从空中洒向各个角落，雨滴像一颗颗晶莹剔透的珍珠，十分好看。雨滴从屋檐、墙头、树叶上跌下，如同断了线的珠子，到最后连在了一起，形成了水柱。

晚上，雨渐渐小了，但仍未停歇，噼里啪啦地打在房顶上、树叶上、地上……好像共同在演奏来自夜晚的乐章。

九点多了，整个世界变得十分安静，那啪嗒啪嗒的雨珠引起了我对秋季无限的遐想……

During last summer vacation, I paid a visit to my uncle’s. It was the first time I had seen the sea. Tow years ago my uncle, a closed friend of my father, transferred from Shanxi to Yantai, a beautiful port city; and then my aunt joined him a couple months later. And a year later I became their guest and was going to stay with them for a week. I was fascinated by the vastness of the sea, the clean and soft sand on the beach, the seagulls flying in the sky and the beauty of the golden sunset clouds over the dark blue water. But I missed the sunrise each day, for I couldn’t get up early enough.

On the fifth day, the alarm clock woke me up when it was still dark outside, I hurried to the beach and stood in the cool breeze there, the sky was turning grey little by little, the sea was calm and all was so quiet that I felt I was surrounded by mysteries, then suddenly, in the faraway horizon, golden beans of light were shooting up into the sky. A moment later, a corner of the sun appeared. The sun was rising very slowly and reluctantly as if it was unwilling to leave the sea. At last the entire sun lay on the horizon, so big and so red, it looked like a huge ripe orange or a tender half-boiled yolk. It hesitated and shivered a moment, then said goodbye to the sea and rose into the air. The scene was very beautiful, touching and magnificent which I’ll never forget.

战国时候，秦国最强，常进攻别的国家。

赵王有个和氏璧，秦王要用十五座城交换。

赵王觉得他骗我们，找蔺相如商议，说愿意去秦国。秦王不提十五座城的事，只看玉。蔺相如借口把璧拿到自己手里，逼秦王。秦王答应了，蔺相如让秦王设宴。但蔺相如知道他不是诚心的，就带手下回了赵国。

蔺相如立了功，他做了上大夫。

过了几年，他们去渑池相见。秦王要赵王鼓瑟，赵王不敢推脱。蔺相如看不下去，就让秦王为赵王击缶，逼秦王，如果不就跟秦王拼了，有廉颇守着，秦王不敢怎么样。蔺相如又立了功，封为上卿，比廉颇高。

廉颇很不服气，要给他下不了台。传到蔺相如耳朵里，蔺相如请病假不上朝。

他远远看见了廉颇，让车夫往回走。他们很奇怪，蔺相如解释道：“都知道，赵国武有廉颇，文有蔺相如，如果我俩不和，就会消弱赵国的力量，为的是我们赵国啊！”

廉颇知道了，就脱下战袍，背上荆条，去蔺相如门前请罪。蔺相如原谅了他，便成为了好朋友，一齐保卫赵国。

诸葛亮聪明能干，周瑜十分嫉妒，想除之。

一天，周瑜借议事之名请诸葛亮，动之以理要求诸葛亮10天内造箭10万支，违期斩之。不料诸葛亮当即立下军令状，承诺三天内交箭。周瑜恐计失策，令工匠延迟交造箭材料，以便处斩诸葛亮。

鲁肃受令去诸葛亮那探听虚实，诸葛亮一见就便请他相助，要鲁肃为他备20只船，每船配军士30名，船上青布为幔，束草人千个，并承诺三日后必有10万支箭，要求他不能将此事告诉周瑜，鲁肃由于好奇于是答应。

三天后，鲁肃把船借与诸葛亮，并随船去取箭。诸葛亮下令把船连在一起，向北岸出发，江上起大雾。船靠近曹操水寨，便下令船上的军士打鼓。这时曹寨将士以为敌人来袭，可不熟水性的曹军不敢下水作战，只能慌乱无目的地放箭，顿时箭如雨下，诸葛亮让船两面受箭，箭满，诸葛亮令船上军士高声喊：“谢曹丞相的箭，谢曹丞相的箭……”

曹军这才恍然大悟，可诸葛亮顺风顺水一下开出20多里，再追也来不及了。

More and more middle school students use WeChat. Different students have

different opinions about using it.

Some students think WeChat is a very useful tool. It can provide a platform

to communicate with their friends. Besides they can make more friends and learn

more knowledge by WeChat. However, some students think WeChat will affect their

study if they spend too much time using it. And they may be tricked by strange

net friends. Last but not least, it will also affect their vision to use WeChat

for a long time.

In my opinion, we should use WeChat properly by not using it more than two

hours a day, and make sure that we dont use it when we are studying. In

addition, we shouldnt add strangers or meet net friends casually.

With the advent of mobile phone and computer , the phenomenon that people

always are phubbing are becoming more and more popular.So many students phubbed

in the coach ,train or restaurant even walked on the road.

As to this issue,different people has different ideas .Some take the view

that it is no use connecting but may cause the big events .Such as the accident

or fight.There is no doubt that phubbing is a false behavior .While others think

the opposite,they agree that there is no way but have to do it .because the time

is limited.

As far as I am concerned ,every coin has two sides .while most people

prefer it,the phubbing is a bad habit .As a matter of fact ,a few person mostly

do a good deed.

周瑜妒忌诸葛亮的才干。

有一天，周瑜以公事为由让诸葛亮十天内造十万支箭。诸葛亮将计就计，说只要三天，周瑜让诸葛亮当面立下了军令状。

周瑜派鲁肃去探听情况，诸葛亮知道鲁肃为人忠厚老实，便请他去帮忙准备二十条船，每条船上配上三十名军士，并且布置青布幔子和草把子，并叫他别让周瑜知道。鲁肃见了周瑜果然不提此事。周瑜很疑惑。

前两天，诸葛亮没什么动静，第三天四更时他把鲁肃请到船里。诸葛亮吩咐将二十条船连接起来，朝北岸开去。

这时候大雾满天，船已经靠近曹营。诸葛亮下令将船头朝西，船尾朝东，一字摆开，并叫军士擂鼓呐喊。由于雾大，曹操没有派兵，只是叫朝他们放箭，一万多名齐向江中放箭，箭像下雨一样。诸葛亮又下令把船掉过来，继续擂鼓呐喊。

天渐渐亮了，雾还没有散。这时候，船两边的草把子上都插满了箭。诸葛亮吩咐军士们齐声高喊：“谢谢曹丞相的箭！”曹操知道上了当，要追也来不及了。

船驶回来，鲁肃告诉周瑜借箭的经过后，周瑜自叹不如。

周瑜看到诸葛亮挺有才干，十分嫉妒。

有一天，周瑜问诸葛亮：“你能否在十天内造十万之间，在我和曹军交战的时候用。”诸葛亮道：“既然要交战，十天造好必然误了大事，我只要三天，并立下军令状。”周瑜当场让诸葛亮立下军令状，并设宴招待他。

鲁肃对周瑜说：“让工匠故意延迟，不给他准备齐全，到时候定他的罪，他就无话可说了。你去问问，他有什么打算”

鲁肃见了诸葛亮，诸葛亮说：“你帮我借二十条船，每条船布置三十名军士，并准备一千个草靶子。并且，千万不能让都督知道。”

鲁肃果然没有给都督说。

打了第三天四更的时候，诸葛亮把鲁肃叫了出来说要带他去取箭。

只见诸葛亮叫船上的军士又擂鼓又呐喊，把曹军招引出来让他们放箭。

天亮了，只见军士们喊：“谢曹丞相的箭。”便走了。因为船顺风顺水，所以曹军追也追不上了。

靠岸以后，二十条船上一共有十万支箭，周瑜甘拜下风。

An October Sunrise 十月的日出

I was up the next morning be fore the October sunrise, and away through the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder heavily over the edge of grey mountain and wavering length of upland. Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped, and crept to crept to the hollow places; then stole away in line and column, holding skirts, and clinging subtly at the sheltering corners where rock hung over grassland, while the brave lines of the hills came forth, one beyond other gliding.

The woods arose in folds, like drapery of awakened mountains, stately with a depth of awe, and memory of the tempests. Autumn’s mellow hand was upon them, as they owned already, touched with gold and red and olive, and their joy towards the sun was less to a bridegroom than a father.

Yet before the floating impress of the woods could clear it self, suddenly the gladsome light leaped over hill and valley, casting amber, blue, and purple, and a tint of rich red rose; according to the scene they lit on, and the curtain flung around; yet all alike dispelling fear and the cloven hoof of darkness, all on the wings of hope advancing, and proclaiming, “God is here!” then life and joy sprang reassured from every crouching hollow; every flower, and bud and bird had a fluttering sense of them; and all the flashing of God’s gaze merged into soft beneficence.

So, perhaps, shall break upon us that eternal morning, when crag and chasm shall be no more, neither hill and valley, nor great unvintaged ocean; but all things shall arise, and shine in the light of the Father’s countenance, because itself is risen.
