mount jiuhuait was a fine day in may. i took a bus to mount jiuhua. as the hus was passing half way through the mountain i saw a sea of green trees and bamboos. the trees were standing straight pointing upright to the sky. white louds floated in the blue air.

the bus zigzagged to the cable station. i got on the cahle car and soon i was in the air. the mountains and pavillions were underneath. then we came to the foot often king peak the highest among all peaks. the short cut ia steep and more difficult to climb. only the brave few took the path. following the guide i began climbing on all fours. it was a test of physique as well as courage.

our guide kept reminding ua of keeping away from looking at the scenes while climbing. the narrow steps in the mountain led ushigher and higher to the summit. stopping to take my breath i saw the candle like stones and the isolated pine against the sky above the mountain.

the climbing continued and i could not but think of the labouring people who braved the trail for us to follow. what wonderful work! at last we got to the summit. the squirrels were jumping in welcome. steam was rising up from the mountain below. standing above and looking down everything was in sight beneath me. it was magnificent and enlightening.

【参考译文】

那是五月的一个晴天,我乘车去九华山。当车行在半山腰时,我看到一片绿树和竹的海洋。树木直挺指向天空,而白云在蓝天上漂浮。

公共汽车沿着弯弯曲曲的山路开到了缆车站。登上缆车,很快就悬于空中。山和亭子都在脚下。然后,我们来到了十王峰下,这是九华山所有山峰中最高的一个。那条捷径很陡,十分难爬,只有少数勇敢者走这条路。跟着导游,我手脚并用爬了起来。这是体力和意志的考验。

导游不断提醒我们爬山不看景。山中狭窄的台阶引导我们步步登高。直到山顶。停下来喘气时,我看到蜡烛石和倚天独立的松树。

爬山在继续,我不由得想起盘山开道的劳动者。他们的劳动多么有意义啊!我们终于到了山顶。但见松鼠跳跃着欢迎我们的到来,云雾自山下腾涌而起。站在高处往下一看,一切尽收眼底。多么壮观,令人启迪。

“一寸光阴一寸金,寸金难买寸光阴。”这是一句关于要珍惜时间的格言,也是我最喜欢的格言。

一个星期五的下午,妈妈给我安排了星期六的任务,6.30起床,做作业、洗鞋、拖地……听得我晕乎乎的。

星期六早上,闹钟“铃铃铃……”响着,还没有睡醒的我,昏昏沉沉地起床,看了一眼闹钟心想:哈!今天是星期六在睡一会儿也不迟,这时的我早已把今天要做的事置之度外了,等我睡醒时已经九点了,这时突然想起今天的任务,于是我便开始做第一件事——做作业,时间过得很快,等做完作业都10点多了,然后我又那期鞋“刷刷刷……”

洗了起来,做完两件事后,我坐在沙发上,情不自禁地打开了电视机,一直看……看了很久,懊恼地想了想,还有的事下午来做也可以啊!再看会儿电视吧!到了下午,同学叫我出去玩,我又想了想明天也还可以做啊!

今天下午就轻松一下,晚上妈妈回到家问:“今天的任务你完成了吗?”我惭愧地低下了头,妈妈和蔼地对我说:“今天的任务,你觉得可以明天再做,可明天还有明天的任务,你可能会觉得好多,日积月累,到了明天你做得事将更多。”

我从妈妈的话中悟出一个道理:时间是用经前买不来的,所以我们要珍惜时间,在做某件事的时候,你可能觉得时间过得很慢,做某件事得时候你可能觉得时间过得很慢,做什么事都可以慢慢来,如果你是这样想的,那你就错了,时间一旦过了就会令你后悔,所以我们要利用每分每秒,要学会争分夺秒、和时间赛跑!这就是我最喜欢的一则格言。

篇20:英语介绍樱花

全文共 3231 字

+ 加入清单

Sakura is the Japanese name for ornamental cherry trees, Prunus serrulata, and their blossoms. Cherry fruit (known as sakuranbo) come from a different species of tree.

Sakura, a well-known and ubiquitous symbol of Japan, are represented on all manner of consumer goods, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art. There is at least one popular folk song, originally meant for the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), titled "Sakura", as well as a number of pop songs. "Sakura" is also a common Japanese female name.

Sakura is indigenous to the Himalayas and east Asia. Some trees can be found in China and Korea but the largest number and variety of sakura, more than 305 species, can be seen in Japan. Many of them were artificially hybridized or grafted by the Japanese many centuries ago.

"On the other hand, in China, cherry blossom is the symbol of feminine dominance, female beauty and sexuality. Additionally, the cherry blossom is the Chinese symbol of feminine principle and it also symbolizes love in the language of herbs. Interestingly, cherry blossom is the flower of the April in China, whereas in Japan, it is wisteria." Spring flowers of Japan

Japans most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom. The variety takes its name from the village of Somei (now part of Toshima in Tokyo). It was developed in the mid- to late-19th century at the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji period. The Somei Yoshino is so widely associated with cherry blossoms that jidaigeki and other works of fiction often depict the variety in the Edo period or earlier; such depictions are anachronisms.

Other categories include yamazakura, yaezakura, and shidarezakura. The yaezakura have large flowers, thick with rich pink petals. The shidarezakura, or weeping cherry, has branches that fall like those of a weeping willow, bearing cascades of pink flowers.

Annually, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and general public track the sakura zensen, or Cherry-Blossom Front. Nightly forecasts follow the weather segment of news programs. The blossoming begins in Okinawa in January, and typically reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April. Then it proceeds north, arriving in Hokkaidō a few weeks later. Japanese pay close attention to these forecasts. They will go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago. It is witten in Nihon Shoki that the Hanami festival were already held in the 3rd century.

Most Japanese schools and public buildings have sakura trees outside of them. Since the fiscal and school year both begin in April, in many parts of Honshū, the first day of work or school will coincide with the cherry blossom season.
