用英语讲好中国故事的英语作文汇编19篇

早在青年时代，毛泽东就接触到英语。1910年毛泽东离开韶山老家，进入湘乡县城新式学堂——东山小学堂读书，那里有一个从日本留学回来的老师，教英语。所以，毛泽东是在17岁那年开始学习英语的。不过，在随后的革命战争年代，留给毛泽东学习英语的时间并不多，但只要有机会，他会抓紧时间“重操旧业”。

“拍拍-太根儿!”

抗战胜利后，面对由美国撑腰、武装到牙齿的国民党部队，中国共产党没有被“威慑”住。1946年8月6日下午，毛泽东在延安窑洞前半山坡平台上的一个小石桌旁，会见了美国女记者斯特朗。他谈笑风生，纵论天下。交谈中，毛泽东把身子向后一仰，开怀地得出结论：“美国反动派是……”他停顿了一下，显然是在找合适的词，“纸老虎。”因为英语里没有相对应之词，翻译只好将它译成了“scarecrow(稻草人)”。毛泽东让翻译停下来，要斯特朗解释“scarecrow”是什么意思。斯特朗回答说，那是用稻草扎成的人形，农民把它竖到田里来吓唬乌鸦。毛泽东立即表示这样译不好，这不是他的意思。他说，纸老虎并不是吓唬乌鸦的死东西，它是用来吓唬孩子的。它看起来像一只凶猛的野兽，但实际上是纸糊的，一受潮就会发软，一阵大雨就会把它冲掉。

于是，由“纸(paper)”和“老虎(tiger)”这两个单词组合，临时造出的一个英语中没有的复合词“paper-tiger”就出现了，这实际上是硬译。毛泽东高兴地笑了，用带着浓重湖南腔的英语说：“拍拍-太根儿!”“paper-tiger”后来便随着毛泽东的着名论断，在全世界广泛流传了，它也成了毛泽东最喜欢说的一个英语单词。

1954年正式提出学习英文

一直到新中国成立以后，毛泽东提倡干部学习外文。这时有了非常好的条件，学英文才成为他的一种爱好。1954年，林克(毛泽东英文秘书)到他身边工作时，毛泽东正式提出要向林克学习英文。但毛泽东并不使用英语教科书循序渐进地“上课”，而是自己设计了一种独特的“学英文”方式：念英语文章，一个词、一个词地查字典对照着念。毛泽东那时熟悉的英文词语并不多，于是先从阅读英文版《人民中国》、《北京周报》短文，新华社的英文新闻稿入手。众所周知，这种学英语的方法效率并不高，只有“吃力不讨好”，随读随忘记。但是毛泽东一意孤行。

上世纪五六十年代，毛泽东学习英语的兴致最高。他在国内巡视工作期间，无论在火车上、轮船上，随时都用自己的方式“学习英语”。1960年的《莫斯科会议声明》发表以后，他写信问林克：“莫斯科声明英文译本出版了没有?请你找两本来，我准备和你对读一遍。”如此这般将英文译本“对读一遍”，毛泽东遇到不少困难，生词很多。但毛泽东不畏困难。

毛泽东在外国人面前“秀”英语

毛泽东与外国人会面的时候，还喜欢“秀”一把英语。

1970年12月18日凌晨7时许，毛泽东身着睡衣，膝盖上盖着一条毛毯，在中南海住处与美国记者斯诺海阔天空的谈话持续了整整5个小时，一直到午后1点钟。进“早餐”的时候，毛泽东宴请斯诺，王海容(记录)、唐闻生(翻译)作陪。宾主入座，毛泽东起立与斯诺热情碰杯。斯诺用中文祝酒：“毛主席万岁!” 毛泽东则用英语回应：“Long live Snow (斯诺万岁)!”毛泽东接着又跟坐在自己身旁的王海容、唐闻生碰杯，然后对斯诺幽默地说：“我看你这个说了半天 woman(妇女)解放的人就是不尊重 woman，你都不跟她们碰杯……”

“毛泽东学英语处”

有着“天下第一名园”美誉的杭州刘庄，有一座傍水而建的精致小楼，是毛泽东来杭州多次住过的一号楼，人们称作“主席楼”。在“主席楼”后面一条小路旁的树阴下，有一块秀石，上书“毛泽东学英语处”几个红字。有张毛泽东与林克一起学习英语的照片作为佐证，这可能是全国唯一一个纪念毛泽东学英语的地方，也成为了西湖一景。旁边一块低矮的石头表面已有些光滑，显然是由于游人坐在这里拍照留念久而久之被磨光的。

1975年除夕——毛泽东最后的英文水平

1975年12月31日子夜，毛泽东会见了美国前总统尼克松的女儿朱莉和女婿戴维。

这两名美国青年注意到，在他们面前，82岁的毛泽东尽管已被疾病折磨得精疲力尽，“斗争”的话题却使他又“像青年人那样兴奋起来，他的头脑甚至比中国的年轻一辈更充满活力，更渴望斗争”。

毛泽东说：“我们这里有阶级斗争，八亿人口，不斗行吗?”并且用他的湖南腔调的发音着重说出了英语：“Class struggle!”

Class struggle这两个英文单词，既代表了毛泽东最后的英文水平，也代表了毛泽东的一生。

Helen Keller once wrote about these early days.

One beautiful spring morning I was alone in my room, reading. Suddenly a wonderful smell in the air made me get up and put out my hands . The spirit of spring seemed to be passing in my room. "What is it?"I asked. The next minute I knew it was coming from mimosa tree outside. I walked outside to the edge of the garden, toward the tree. There it was, shaking in the warm sunshine. Its long branches, so heavy with flowers, almost touched the ground. I walked through the flowers to the tree itself and then just stood silent. Then I put my foot on the tree and pulled myself up into it. I climbed higher and higher until I reached a little seat. Long ago someone had put it there. I sat for a long time... Nothing in all the world was like this.

Later Helen learned that nature could be cruel as well as beautiful. Strangely enough she discovery this in a different kind of tree.

One day my teacher and I were returning from a long walk. It was a fine morning but it started to get warm and heavy. We stopped to rest two or three times. Our last stop was under a cherry tree, a short way from our house. The shade was nice and the tree was easy to climb. Miss Sullivan climbed with me. It was so coot up in the tree, we decided to have lunch there. I promised to sit still until she went to the house for some food. Suddenly a change came over the tree. I knew the sky was black because all the heat which meant light to me had died out of the air. A strange odor came up to me from the earth . I knew it. It was the odor which always comes before a thunder storm. I felt alone, cut off from friends, high above the firm earth. I was frightened and wanted my teacher. wanted to get down from that tree quickly, but I was no help to myself. There was a moment of terrible silence. Then a sudden and violent wind began to shake the tree and its leaves kept coming down all around me. I almost fell. I wanted to jump, but was afraid to do so. I tried to make myself small in the tree as the branches rubbed against me. Just us I thought that both the tree and I were going to fall, a hand touched me . It was my teacher. I held her with all my strength, then shook with joy to feel the solid earth under my feet.

Miss Sullivan stayed with Helen for many year. She taught Helen how to read, how to write and how to speak. She helped her to get ready for school and college. More than anything, Helen wanted to do what others did, and do it just as well. In time Helen did go to college and completed her studies with high honors. But it was a hard struggle. Few of the books she needed were written in the Braille language that the blind could read by touching pages. Miss Sullivan and others had to teach her what was in these books by forming words in her hands. The study of geometry and physics was especially difficult. Helen could only learn about squares, triangles and other geometrical forms by making them with wires. She kept feeling the different shapes of these wires until she could see them in her mind.

During her second year college Miss Keller wrote the story of her life and what a college meant to her. This is what she wrote.

My first day at Radcliffe college was of great interest. Some powerful force inside me made me test my mind. I wanted to learn if it was as good as that of others. I learned many things at college. One thing I slowly learned was that knowledge does not just mean power, as some people say. Knowledge leads to happiness because to have it is to know what is true and real. To know what great man of the past had thought, said, and done is to feel the heartbeat of humanity down through the ages.

All of Helen Kellers knowledge reached her mind through her sense of touch and smell, and of course her feelings. To know a flower was to touch it, feel it and smell it. This sense of touch became greatly developed as she got older. She once said that hands speak almost as loudly as words. She said the touch of some hands frightened her. The people seemed so empty of joy that when she touched their cold fingers it is as if she were shaking bands with a storm. She found the hands of others full of sunshine and warmth. Strangely enough Helen Keller learned to love things she could not hear, music for example. She did this through her sense of touch. When waves of air beat against her, she felt them. Sometimes she put her hand to a singers throat. She often stood for hours with her hands on a piano while it was played. Once she listened to an organ. Its powerful songs made her moved her body in rhythm with the music. She also liked to go to museums. She thought she understood sculptures as well as others. Her fingers told her the true size and the feel of the material.

What did Helen Keller think of herself, what did she think about the tragic lost of her sight and hearing. This is what she wrote as a young girl.

Sometimes a sense of loneliness covers me like a cold mist. I sit alone, and wait at life s shut-door. Beyond there is light and music and sweet friendship. But I may not enter. Silence sits heavy upon my soul. Then comes hope with a sweet smile and said

softly " There is joy in forgetting oneself And so I tried to make the light in others eyes my sun, the music in others ears my symphony, the smile on others lips my happiness.

Helen Keller was tall and strong. When she spoke, her face looked very alive. It helped to give meaning to her words. She often felt the faces of close friends when she was talking to them to discover their feelings. She and Miss Sullivan both were known for their sense of humor. They enjoyed jokes and laughing at funny things that happened to themselves or others. Helen Keller had to work hard to support herself after she finished college. She spoke to many groups around the country. She wrote several books and she made one movie based on her life. Her main goal was to increase public interest in the difficulties of people with physical problems. The work Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan did has been written and talked about for many years. Their success showed how people can conquer great difficulties. Anne Sullivan died in 1936, blind herself. Before Miss Sullivan died, Helen wrote and said many kind things about her.

It was the genius of my teacher, her sympathy, her love which made my first years of education so beautiful. My teacher is so near to me that I do not think of myself as a part from her. All the best of me belongs to her. Everything I am today was awakened by her loving touch .

Helen Keller died on June 1st, 1968. She was 87 year old. Her message of courage and hope remains.

[中国植物英语作文

鮣鱼离开自己的船——鲨鱼，想去找一点儿吃的，换涣口味，半路上就逃了回来，她边逃边叫：“出怪事啦，海马爸爸生孩子啦!”

她这一叫，惊动了旗鱼、剑鱼，他们纷纷游过来问：“在哪里?”

“在前面。”鮣鱼回过身子，向前面一指。

自古只有妈妈会生孩子，爸爸怎么会生孩子呢?

剑鱼不相信，说：“你看错了吧，爸爸怎么会生孩子呢?”

“说不定你是把海马妈妈看成海马爸爸了?”旗鱼也怀疑起来。

鮣鱼见剑鱼和旗鱼都不相信自己，急得在水里跳着，大声说：“我怎么会看错哩!”鮣鱼看一眼不远处的鲨鱼，接着往下说：“我每次乘着自己的‘船’到这儿来游玩，总少不了要同海马夫妇见上几次面，他们哪一位是海马妈妈，哪一位是海马爸爸，就是烧成了灰，我也认得出来，怎么会看错呢。”

“爸爸会生孩子，倒是天下奇事，我们去看看。”旗鱼对剑鱼说。

“我带你们去。”鮣鱼自告奋勇，她游到了剑鱼的嘴巴里。

连这么一点点路，鮣鱼也没忘记“乘便船”。

旗鱼和剑鱼来到那个海马身边，看见一个个小海马，正从海马的尾部下两弹出来。

“我没有赖你们吧。”鮣鱼从剑鱼嘴巴里出来后，指着正在生孩子的海马说。

“请问……你是海马妈妈，还是海马爸爸?”旗鱼还有些不放心地问。

“你没看见我在生孩子吗，当然是海马爸爸啰。”海马爸爸说着，又生出了一个小海马。

“哦，我知道啦，你们海马是爸爸生孩子，妈妈不会生孩子的。”剑鱼好像恍然大悟地说。

“剑鱼先生，你可别往我们海马妈妈身上泼脏水呀2”忽然，有个不生孩子的海马气呼呼地在看着剑鱼。郭鱼一看，惊奇地叫起来：“她才是海马妈妈哩。”

“这……这到底是怎么回事呀?”剑鱼和旗鱼更加糊涂了，他们看看不生孩子的海马妈妈，又看看正在生孩子的海马爸爸。

海马妈妈看看剑鱼他们，突然哈哈哈地大笑起来。她边笑边说道：“孩子嘛，确实是我生的。不过，我生他们的时候，还是一颗颗的卵呢。我把他们生在他们爸爸的育儿袋里，孩子们在他们爸爸的育儿袋里成长，变成一个个小海马……”

“哈哈，爸爸生孩子，原来是这么一回事呀!”旗鱼和剑鱼都大笑起来。

“可这活泼泼的孩子，终究是从我这里出去的呀。”海马爸爸“生”完了最后一个小海马，指着自己的育儿袋，调皮地看看绅鱼他们。旗鱼看看海马妈妈，风趣地说：“看样子，你丈夫还不肯放弃这个会生孩子的名誉哩。”

“不过话说回来，我丈夫是个好爸爸，他不但帮助我养儿育女，今后还要负责保护孩子们的安全，一旦他们受惊，或者遇到危险，又会躲进他的育儿袋里去。”海马妈妈深情地看了自己丈夫一眼，补充说，“一直要到孩子们都长大了才离开育儿袋。”

“哦，真是个好爸爸。”旗鱼、剑鱼和鮣鱼告别了海马夫妇，向来的地方游去。当然吗，鮣鱼是不会放弃她“乘便船”的机会的，不过这一回，她钻到了旗鱼的鳃孔里，打算一回到老地方，马上去寻找鲨鱼，因为还要跟着他到各地去旅游呢。

东汉末年，天下四分五裂，刘关张桃园结义之后，刘备广招贤能异士，于是便有了刘备三顾茅庐请隆中诸葛的故事，诸葛亮(181—234年)，字孔明，青年时代躬耕于隆中，并苦读经书，熟悉历朝兴衰的历史，潜心钻研兵法。他常以春秋战国时的管仲、乐毅自比，是难得的一位将才、谋士，自称“卧龙”。善于网罗人才的刘备闻知，高兴地说：“我需要这样的人才!”并表示哪怕山高路远，行走不便，也非亲自去请他不可。

深冬的一天，刘备带着关羽、张飞，到隆中邀请诸葛亮。谁知诸葛亮恰好不在家，刘备只好扫兴而归。

刘备回到新野，不断派人到隆中打听诸葛亮何时在家。当打听到诸葛亮外出已经回到家时，刘备当即决定二请诸葛。这时，张飞不以为然地说：“一个平民百姓，派个武士把他叫来就得了，犯不着让你一再去请。”刘备说：“诸葛亮是当代大贤，怎么能随便派个人去叫他呢?你还是痛痛快快地跟我去吧。”刘备说服了张飞，叫上关羽，三人骑马直奔隆中而去。

这一天，北风呼啸，大雪纷飞，冷得实在教人难忍。张飞对着刘备大嚷：“我等何苦找此罪受!不如等天晴再说。”刘备却说：“贤弟，咱们冒此大风雪，不怕山高路远，去请诸葛，不正表明了我们的一片诚意吗?”三人继续往前赶路。不料，这一次刘备又未见到诸葛亮，只好写了一封信托诸葛亮的弟弟转交，说明来意，并表示择日再访。

第二年春天，刘备更衣备马，决定第三次去拜访诸葛亮。张飞、关羽竭力劝阻。关羽说：“我们两次相请，都未见到他，想必他徒有虚名，不敢前来相见。”张飞更是带着轻蔑的口吻说：“我们已仁至义尽，这次只需我一人前往，他如若不来，我就将他绑来见你。”刘备连忙说道：“不得无礼，没有诚意哪能请到贤人呢?”

刘备三人飞马直奔隆中，来到诸葛亮的草庐前。此时诸葛亮正在午睡。刘备唯恐打扰诸葛亮，不顾路途疲劳，屏声敛气地站在门外静候，直到诸葛亮醒来才敢求见。刘备见了诸葛亮，说道：“久慕先生大名，三次拜访，今日如愿，实是平生之大幸!”诸葛亮说：“蒙将军不弃，三顾茅庐，真叫我过意不去。亮年幼不才，恐怕让将军失望。”刘备却诚恳地说：“我不度德量力，想为天下伸张正义，振兴汉室。由于智术短浅，时至今日，尚未达到目的，望先生多多指教。”刘备谦虚的态度，诚恳的情意，使诸葛亮很受感动。于是诸葛亮终于答应了刘备的请求，怀着统一全国的政治抱负，离开了隆中茅庐，出任刘备的军师。他忠心耿耿地辅佐刘备，为“三国鼎立”局面的确立，做出了巨大贡献。

韩昭侯平时说话不大注意，往往在无意间将一些重大的机密事情泄露了出去，使得大臣们周密的计划不能实施。大家对此很伤脑筋，却又不好直言告诉韩昭侯。

有一位叫堂谿(xi)公的聪明人，自告奋勇到韩昭候那里去，对韩昭侯说：“假如这里有一只玉做的酒器，价值千金，它的中间是空的，没有底，它能盛水吗?”韩昭侯说：“不能盛水。”堂豁公又说：“有一只瓦罐子，很不值钱，但它不漏，你看，它能盛酒吗?”韩昭侯说：“可以。”

于是，堂谿公因势利导，接着说：“这就是了。一个瓦罐子，虽然值不了几文钱，非常卑贱，但因为它不漏，却可以用来装酒;而一个玉做的酒器，尽管它十分贵重，但由于它空而无底，因此连水都不能装，更不用说人们会将可口的饮料倒进里面去了。人也是一样，作为一个地位至尊、举止至重的国君，如果经常泄露臣下商讨有关国家的机密的话，那么他就好像一件没有底的玉器。即使是再有才干的人，如果他的机密总是被泄露出去了，那他的计划就无法实施，因此就不能施展他的才干和谋略了。”

一番话说得韩昭侯恍然大悟，他连连点头说道：“你的话真对，你的话真对。”

从此以后，凡是要采取重要措施，大臣们在一起密谋策划的计划、方案，韩昭侯都小心对待，慎之又慎，连晚上睡觉都是独自一人，因为他担心自己在熟睡中说梦话时把计划和策略泄露给别人听见，以至于误了国家大事。

堂谿公开导韩昭侯的故事告诉我们，有智慧的人很善于说话，能从日常生活中的小事引出治国安邦的大道理;能够虚心接受意见、不唯我独尊的人，才是明智的领导者。

1924年11月，北京开展声势浩大的支持孙中山北上、反对北洋军阀政府的斗争;

1925年五卅运动爆发后，李大钊与赵世炎等人在北京组织5万余人的示威，有力地支持了上海人民的反帝斗争;

1926年3月，李大钊在极端危险和困难的情况下，积极领导并亲自参加了北京反对帝国主义和北洋军阀的三一八运动，号召人们用五四的精神、五卅的热血，不分界限地联合起来，反抗帝国主义的联合进攻，反对军阀的卖国行为。

李大钊的革命活动，遭到北洋军阀的仇视，他们下令通缉李大钊。

1927年4月6日，奉系军阀张作霖勾结帝国主义。在北京逮捕李大钊等80余人。

在狱中，李大钊备受酷刑，但始终严守党的秘密，大义凛然，坚贞不屈。

4月28日，北洋军阀政府不顾社会舆论的强烈反对和谴责，将李大钊等20位革命者绞杀在西交民巷京师看守所内。临刑前，李大钊慷慨激昂：“不能因为反动派今天绞死了我，就绞死了伟大的共产主义，共产主义在中国必然得到光辉的胜利”。

他高呼“共产党万岁!”英勇就义，时年38岁。

原文：

杞国有人，忧天地崩坠，身亡所寄，废寝食者。

又有忧彼之所忧者，因往晓之，曰："天，积气耳，亡处亡气。若屈伸呼吸，终日在天中行止，奈何忧崩坠乎?"其人曰："天果积气，日月星宿，不当坠邪?"晓之者曰："日月星宿，亦积气中之有光耀者，只使坠，亦不能有所中伤。" 其人曰："奈地坏何?" 晓者曰："地积块耳，充塞四虚，亡处亡块。若躇步趾踏，终日在地上行止，奈何忧其坏?"其人舍然大喜。晓之者亦舍然大喜。

列 子《列子·天瑞》

白话文：

杞国有一个人，整天担心天塌地陷，自己没有地方容身，因此愁得睡不着觉，吃不下饭。

有个人看他这样忧愁，很为他担心，就去开导他说："天不过是很厚很厚的气积聚在一起罢了，没有一个地方没有气。你一举一动，一呼一吸，从早到晚都生活在天的中间，怎么会担心天塌下来呢?"

那人忧天的人听了，又说;"如果天是很厚的气，那么太阳、月亮和星星不会掉下来吗?"。

前来开导他的人说："太阳、月亮和星星，也都是会发光的气积聚而成的，即使掉下来，也不可能把人打伤。"

那个忧天的人又问："如果地陷塌了怎么办呢?"

开导他的人回答说："大地是土块积聚而成，它充塞四野，无处不有，你在它上面随便行走、跳跃，整天在它的上面生活，怎么担心它会陷塌呢?"

那人听了朋友的话，如释重负，非常高兴;那个前来劝他的人放下心来，也很高兴。

寓意：只要把道理说透彻，就能够帮助人解除顾虑和忧愁。

后人从中概括出"杞人忧天"一句成语，用以比喻不必要的或无根据的忧虑。

在曾国藩小的时候，有一次老师给他布置了家庭作业-----就是现在人们说的背书，如果你聪明才智较高， 那么背这些四书五经应该不在话下，而曾却用了足足一晚上，这可苦了一个人。这个人是谁呢?原来那 天凑巧有一小偷来光顾他家，在曾家一夜游的同时顺便带点纪念品回去。这位小偷很早就潜入他家，埋伏在床底下心想：“万事俱备、只欠东风了，等这书呆子一睡，我就捞上一笔”

一个小时过去了，小偷耳边不停的传入“关关雎鸠，在河之洲。窈窕淑女，君子好逑”的背书声。

忍耐!

两个小时过去了，小偷耳边仍不停的听到这同样的背书词。

再忍耐!!

三个小时过去了，同样的背书词从同一个人口中读出---曾国藩还是没完成老师给的任务。

“关关雎鸠，在河之洲。窈窕淑女，君子好逑”，终于，那个人抑扬顿挫的将古诗词一字不漏的背出，可惜这个人不是曾国藩，而是一直潜伏在他家，手脚快发麻的小偷。 忍耐到了极限，无需再忍。这个小偷见这书呆子悟性如此之低，而自已却陪着他傻等了一晚，实在不值，撤手不干了。

“勤能补拙是良训，一分耕耘一分收获。”那小偷的记忆力很好，听过几遍的文章都能背下来，天分很高，但是遗憾的是他的天分没有加上勤奋，所以他只能是个小偷。而曾国藩虽然没有小偷那样的天分，却通过自己的勤奋、努力而成为一位连毛泽东主席都钦佩的人。其中的道理就在于：“天分并不等于成功，只有勤奋才能让‘天才’变成‘人才’。”

关尹子是著名的箭术教师。列子跟他学射箭。有一次，列子接连几箭都射中了靶心。他高兴地跑去问关尹子：“老师，我可以算学会射箭了吧?”

关尹子反问他：“你自己知道了能射中靶心的道理吗?”列子说：“那我可不知道。”关尹子说：“那不行，你还不能算是学会射箭了，回去再学!”

列子回去以后，认真琢磨射箭的道理，又苦练了三年，箭术进步得非常快，到了百发百中的地步。他又去向关尹子报告自己的学习成绩。

关尹子还是问他：“现在你知道能够射中靶心的道理了吗?”列子说：“知道了。”

关尹子高兴地鼓励列子：“好!这样你可以算学会射箭了。无论干什么事情，都要懂得它包含的道理。学射箭应该这样，治理国家和做人更应该这样。”

Since the implementation of reform and opening up policy in mainland China in 1978, changes in society, economy, ideology, humanities and even politics have never been seen in Chinese history. The economic environment, the educational environment, the values and the population distribution have changed greatly.

Since the implementation of reform and opening policy on the economy, China, economic development has made great progress, the gross national product (GDP) in less than 30 years, an increase of more than 25 times, the overall size of the economy has surpassed Germany, ranked third in the world (only in the United States and Japan). But at the same time, the two level of polarization between the rich and the poor is serious.

In todays China, though college education is more popular, the number of college students who have enrolled and graduated every year has increased significantly, but in fact, education is facing an unprecedented "commercialization" and "industrialization" crisis. The center of all peoples life begins to revolve around money and material. The traditional social morality and ethical values are no longer considered, even mocked and spurned. This brings great problems and crises in social security and family and marriage.

Now Chinese is also experiencing large population migration hitherto unknown, the so-called "three drift" phenomenon: one is a large number of rural population to Beijing, Tianjin and other places to move, two is to Shanghai as the center of the Yangtze River Delta is the three mobile, to Guangzhou as the center of the Pearl River Delta mobile.

In all aspects of the changes in China, the state has also changed its previous religious policies. The family church has provided a certain space for the development of domestic church, so the family church has also undergone great changes and development. The overseas magazine media reports that the Chinese family church is experiencing 7 changes and has its own characteristics in the model.

From the countryside to the city, this is the most remarkable and new change. Many urban family churches are showing vigor and rapid development with young, highly educated and energetic party. From coastal to inland, the more developed coastal family church tradition, the western missionaries and early activities in the area concerned. In many of Chinas inland areas, even among ethnic minorities, the spread of the gospel and the establishment of the church have been greatly developed.

From grassroots to multilevel, todays gospel is no longer a belief of civilians with a low educational level and at the grass-roots level of the society. It has become a research topic in many universities, and also a popular belief among college students, professors and white-collar workers. The urban churches, dominated by intellectuals, were set up in cities and grew rapidly. The integration of many "returnees" Christians also played an important role in the transformation and development of urban family churches.

From single to pluralistic, in the past, Chinese churches were basically single (non sectarian) in terms of sectarianism, and basically conservative in theological thoughts. Such a situation is changing. With the influx of various sects and theological ideas and ideas from abroad, Chinese family churches have also changed from single to pluralistic. From receiving to paying, when Chinese economy, especially the development of coastal economy, has developed, the believers of Chinese churches have made great progress in giving money and giving resources, especially in the Church of Wenzhou. The disaster relief in Sichuan has become a concentrated expression of the participation of Chinese family churches in social care and love.

From domestic to overseas, many families in the church is across the border, to neighboring countries sent missionaries to carry out the gospel mission. Although the number of people is still in the minority, "the gospel into China, the gospel out of China" is becoming the vision and mission of more and more Chinese believers. Among them, from Wenzhou and Fujian area due to emigration of Christians, or to do business overseas, and more enthusiasm into the construction conditions and the local Chinese Church and missionary.

From the close to the cooperation, in the past, because of the historical and political environment and many other reasons, the Chinese family churches are mostly not reciprocal. And now the situation is changing. Especially in the emerging churches in the city, facing the regional even national prayer meeting, and the camp and propaganda workers, there began to be cooperation between the churches. Cross system theological training, worker training, and so on, also appear more and more.

In the process of marching and developing to the city, the family church has formed a very typical model of development. The phenomenon of "series" and "parallel" is obvious. The so-called "series" refers to one or more full-time on his staff, led more than a dozen parties, forming a vertical type feed management mechanism; the so-called "parallel", refers to the different church between the "horizontal connection", or a church planting out many churches, the plain independently, but there is often a joint meeting between his staff, and the Ministry of cooperation.

The clergy have good cultural accomplishment, and the theology of equipment. Many people graduated from colleges and universities, give up very good career and personal future commitment to Gods call, with a strong sense of mission, and by many underground seminaries or network Seminary, accept the systematic theology of equipment. Some people even go back home after receiving theological equipment abroad, and the spiritual vision and theological attainment of the church personnel are greatly improved compared with the past.

A frog lived in a shallow well.

一只青蛙住在一口浅井里。

One day, it met beside the well a large soft-shelled turtle which had just crawled up from the sea.

有一天，青蛙在井边碰上了一只刚从海里爬上来的大鳖。

The frog bragged to the turtle:

青蛙对大鳖夸口说:

"Look, how happy I am to live here! When I feel glad, I would bounce for a while near the well; and when I am tired, I would return to the well to sleep and rest for a while by the brick hole. Sometimes, I would quietly soak my whole body in the water, showing only my head and mouth. Sometimes, I would stroll in the soft mud, which is very comfortable. None of those tiny crabs and tadpoles can compare with me. I am the master of this well, free and unrestrained. Why dont you come often to play in the well?"

“你看，我住在这里多么快乐!高兴了，就在井边跳跃一阵子;疲倦了，就回到井里，睡在砖洞边上休息一会儿。有时候，我静静地把全身泡在水里，只露出头和嘴巴;有时候，在软绵绵的泥浆里散散步，也很舒服。那些螃琪和蛾鲜，它们谁也比不上我。我是这个井的主人，自由自在，你为什么不常到井里来游玩游玩呢!”

Hearing this, the turtle was itching to go down to take a look. But before he put his left foot into the well, his right foot stumbled. He quickly retreated two steps and told the frog about the sea:

大鳖听了青蛙的话，心里痒痒的，准备下去看看。但是它的左脚还没伸进去，右脚就已经绊住了。它连忙后退了两步，把大海的情形告诉青蛙，说:

"Have you ever seen the sea? The sea is very, very wide, over 1,000 1i. The sea is very, very deep, over 1,000 zhang (3/3 metres). In ancient times, in nine years out of ten there were floods, but the water in the sea did not rise much. Later, in seven years out of eight there were droughts, but the water in the sea did not drop much. Neither big floods nor big droughts can affect the sea. Only living in the sea can you feel real happiness!”

“你见过大海吗?海很大很大，哪止千里;海很深很深，哪止千丈。古时候，十年里有九年发大水。但是海里的水涨高不了多少。后来，八年里有七年要大旱，可是海里的水也不见得浅了多少。大涝和大旱都影响不了大海。住在大海里，才是真正的快乐呢!”

Amazed at what the big turtle had said, the frog was dumbstruck.

听了大鳖的这一番话，青蛙非常吃惊，呆在那里，无话可说了。

一天早晨，温暖的阳光照耀着大地，小苹果树和老苹果树在一起欢乐地唱着歌。突然，老苹果难过地说：“哎呦，我的肚子好疼呀。”小苹果树焦急万分，

小苹果树找医生这时，飞来一只喜鹊，小苹果树用恳求的语气对喜鹊说：“喜鹊阿姨，您能不能帮我婆婆治病呢?”喜鹊说：“对不起，我只能捉叶子上的虫子，不会捉树干里的虫子，更不会做手术。”喜鹊飞走了。

这时，又飞来一只猫头鹰，小苹果树难过地说：“猫头鹰爷爷，您能不能帮我婆婆治病?”猫头鹰抱歉地说：“我只会捉田鼠这一类的小动物，我也不会给树治病。”猫头鹰爷爷也飞走了。

这时，飞来了一只啄木鸟，在老苹果树上啄呀啄。小苹果 树生气地说;“快走开，我婆婆会更加疼的。”啄木鸟说：“刚才我看到你婆婆很难过，估计肚子里面有虫子，我是来帮你婆婆动手术的。”小苹果树高兴极了。

啄木鸟医生在老苹果树树干上啄来啄去，检查身体，当听到空空的声音，那就表示树干里面已经被虫子吃空了。它把树皮啄开，里面有好多虫子呀!啄木鸟把虫子一只一只啄掉，直到把所有虫子消灭光。

小苹果树和树婆婆感激地对啄木鸟说;“啄木鸟医生，谢谢您，您坐下歇会吧。”啄木鸟拍着翅膀说：“不用啦，我还要给别的树治病呢!”说着向远方飞走了。

小苹果树和老苹果树又唱起了欢快的歌。

郑人买履

A man of the state of Zheng wanted to buy a pair of shoes. He measured his

foot and put the measurement on a chair. When he set out for the market he

forgot to bring it along. It was after he had found the pair he wanted that this

occurred to him.

I forgot the measurement, said he.

He went home to get it but when he returned the market had broken up and he

did not get his shoes after all.

Why didnt you try on the shoes with your feet?

He was asked.

I d rather trust the measurement than trust myself.

入木三分

Wang Xi-zhi is one of the most famous calligraphers(书法家) during the Eastern

Jin Dynasty of China. When he was very young, he practiced his art every day and

never stopped.

Later he absorbed the strong points of all the other schools of

calligraphy, and developed his own unique style of writing. Because of his

achievements, he has been honored as one of Chinas sages of calligraphy. One

time, Wang Xi-zhi sketched in wood for an engraver to cut. Then the engraver

found the ink had penetrated one centimeter into the wood.

"Ru Mu San Fen" is got from this story, which means the calligraphy is

penetrating.

Now it is often used to describe expressing sharp ideas or profound

views.

As is known to us,China has the biggest population in the world,which is more than 1,300,000,000.Such a large population causes some problems in cities,thats the unemployment.Too many people gather in cities and the jobs are not enough.Some graduates cant find a job though they have left school for years.In addition,traffic jam is another problem resulting from the big population.There are too many cars on the roads and streets.

The situation of the countryside is not good.Too many people live in the countryside and we dont have enough farm land for them.

Fortunately,our government has realized the problems and has attached great importance to them.The government is trying its best to create more jobs and improve traffic systems.Moreover,the one-child policy has helped a lot.

look at your watch for just one minuite.During that time,The popuiation of the world increased by 259.Perhaps you think that is notmuch.Hoever,during the next hour,over15540 more babies will be born on the world.

So it goes on,hour after hour.In oneday,people have to produce food fover 370000 more mouths.Multiply this by365.justthink how many more there will be in one year!What will happen in a hundred years?

The increasing population

may be the greatest challenge of the world today.The worlds population is growing faster and faster.Two thousang years ago,there only 250millon people on the earth. At the beining of the20thcentury,the worldspopulation was about 1.7billion.In 1990,it reached more than five billion.Now at the beininjg of the 21stcentthe worlds population has passed six billion.people say that by the yeay 2010it may be seven billion.That means in about 600 years,there will br standing room only on the earth.Each person will have one half to one square metre of space to live in.There will be hardly enough space ror angbody else.

众所周知,中国拥有世界上最大的人口超过1300000000。如此大的人口在城市造成一些问题,这是失业。很多人聚集在城市和工作是不够的。一些毕业生找不到工作,尽管他们已经离开学校好多年了。此外,交通堵塞造成的另一个问题是巨大的人口。有太多的汽车在公路和街道。

农村的情况是不好的。太多的人生活在农村,我们没有足够的农田。

幸运的是,我们的政府已经意识到问题,并重视他们。政府正在尽力创造更多的就业机会,改善交通系统。此外,独生子女政策已经帮助很多。

看看你的手表只有一个秒。在此期间,世界人口增加了259人。也许你认为这是更高的。Hoever,在接下来的一个小时里,over15540更多宝宝将出生在世界。

就这样,一个小时又一个小时。在某一天,人们要生产粮食fov 370000多的嘴。把这个by365。justthink多少会有一年!一百年后会发生什么事?

增加的人口

可能是当今世界最大的挑战。世界人口增长越来越快。述说两年前,地球上只有250米隆人。the20thcentury拜因的,世界人口约为17亿。在1990年,它达到了超过五十亿人。现在的beininjg 21 stcentthe世界人口已经超过六十亿。人们说2010 yeay可能是七十亿年。这意味着在大约600年,地球上只br站立的空间。每个人将有一半生活在一平方米的空间。会有其他几乎没有足够的空间。

选贤任能一定要坚持正直原则。

春秋时期，齐桓公任用管仲改变了齐国的落后面貌，富国强兵，齐国一举成为“春秋五霸”之首，齐桓公由此认识到人才的重要性，不过对于怎样选拔人才，齐桓公并没有不十分明确标准。

管仲选才一天，齐桓公在管仲的陪同下，来到马棚视察养马的情况。他一见养马人就关心地询问：“你觉得哪一件事最难？”养马人一时难以回答。其实，养马人心里是十分清楚的：一年365天，打草备料，饮马溜马，调鞍理辔，接驹钉掌，除粪清栏，哪一件事都不是轻松！管仲在一旁见养马人尚在犹豫，便代养马人回答说：“以前我也养过马，依我看，编排用于拴马的栅栏这件事最难。为什么呢？因为在编栅栏时备用的木料往往有弯的也有直的。如果想让所选的木料用起来顺手，使编排的栅栏整齐美观，结实耐用，开始的选料就显得很重要，下第一根桩的时候尤其要慎重。如果在下第一根桩时用了弯曲的木料，随后你就得顺势将弯曲的木料用到底，像这样弯曲的木料之后紧接着使用弯曲的木料，那些笔直的木料就难以派上用场。相反，如果一开始就选用笔直的木料，继之必然是直木接直木，曲木也就派不上用场了。其实，选拔人才同编栅栏选料的道理是一样的，国家在起初选拔肩负重任的人才时，必须慎重行事，从一开始就把握正直的标准，以便今后按这样的标准选贤任能。”

听了管仲的这一番高论，齐桓公深为佩服，确定了以正直作为国家选拔贤才的标准，世代相传。

在比赛中捧回的一个又一个奖杯，大大增加了苏炳添的自信心，也让他更执著于短跑这条道路。

但是，教练说苏炳并添没有短跑运动员的天赋。

他个子只有172cm，短跑运动员最佳身高是180cm—195cm，当年中国另一飞人刘翔身高在189cm，短跑项目中，个子矮要失去许多先天优势。

再加上我国短跑事业相比其它国家而言，起步要晚一些，选择短跑作为终身事业的运动员少之又少，国际短跑赛事上我们从来没有进入过决赛。

年轻气盛的苏炳添偏偏不信这个邪，他暗暗下定决心，一定要在短跑运动上创造出奇迹，让外国人看看我们的实力。

为了这个理想，苏炳添想去专业的体校进行学习和训练，但他去了几家体校，都因为他个子矮、年龄大被婉拒，现实将他打回原型。

刘翔从七岁就开始进行专业训练，而想入体校的苏炳添，这时已经15岁了。

眼看苏炳添的田径之路就要画上句号，这时候他人生中的伯乐出现了。

中山体校教练宁德宝看中苏炳添的身体素质和爆发力，想把他收为麾下弟子。

宁教练费了好大劲才说服体校的领导，破格把苏炳添招进来，然而，训练刚刚开始不到半月，苏炳添就吵着要回家。

中学时的训练和现在专业体校的训练相比，从运动量、技术上都简单很多。

体校要求学生6点就要起床开始训练，一上午的高强度练习，在中午短暂午休后，下午还要接着练，苏炳添被体校辛苦的训练吓住了，他不想跑步了。

他叫来父母想要退学，父母也不忍他受苦，便要把他带回家，宁教练实在舍不得这个好苗子，苦口婆心地劝说苏炳添和他的家人。

苏炳添的父母亲虽然没有文化，但从宁教练的态度上，他们觉得是真心为孩子好，于是妈妈许诺给苏炳添100元零花钱，把他留在宁教练身边。

从此，苏炳添如开挂般，正式开启了属于他的“飞人时代”。

In the past, there was a man who had a large appetite. When he ate, he devoured ravenously.

从前，有个人饭量很大，吃起饭来，狼吞虎咽。

Once he wasnt careful enough so that a fishbone got stuck in his throat. The food was blocked in his esophagus, and he could neither swallow nor vomit. So he called a physician, but the physician could do nothing. The people around looked at him in anxiety. Finally, as he couldnt breathe, he died of choking.

一次，他不留神，骨头硬在喉咙里，食物被堵塞在食道里，想咽咽不下，想吐吐不出。于是，他请来医生，医生也没有办法。周围的人看着他，干着急。最后，他因透不过气来而活活噎死了。

Afterwards, someone went so far as to issue a ban: Eating is forbidden as from today for the reason that no one will be choked to death if people give up eating.

事后，有人居然下了一道禁令:从今天起，天下禁止吃饭。理由是:不吃饭，就不会噎死人。

接到乔羽的宝贝女儿国子的短信，我心里一动：多年不见，乔老爷和夫人佟琦，还有他们三个懂事的早已成家立业的孩子，现在怎么样了？国子在短信上说：“亲爱的妈咪，一切都好吧？9月12日上午9点在新闻大厦举办老爷子歌词研讨会，央视来录制现场，特请您作为嘉宾发言。您能来是我们全家人的愿望。请回复！爱您的国子。”

我立刻兴奋起来。这些年我年纪大了，过去常联系的朋友，渐渐地疏远了。而且，对方也一样，好像大家都躲在自己的世界里静静地老去。就连名气很大，过去经常抛头露面的人，比如乔羽乔老爷，也陷进了这个怪圈。想到此，我连忙给乔羽的女儿国子回短信：“亲爱的国子，我正盼望见到你们，谢谢你们全家人想到我，给我这个机会。你父亲乔老爷的歌词研讨会，我一定参加，雷打不动。”

但是，那天我还是食言了。问题出在我老眼昏花，把9月12日上午9点的研讨会，看成9月17日上午9点。偏偏在同一天同一时间，我还接到了冯牧先生逝世20周年在中国现代文学馆举行纪念活动的邀请，也指定我在会上发言。当我在中国现代文学馆深情追忆冯牧先生的时候，新闻大厦乔羽歌词研讨会给我安排的那把椅子，却让乔老爷全家人失望地空着。回到家再看国子的短信，我蒙了，不禁十万火急地向孩子道歉：“亲爱的国子，实在对不起，我把乔老爷的歌词研讨会误记成9月17号了！今天我去开完冯牧逝世20周年纪念会，再看你的短信，才发现我记错了日期。看来，我是真的老了，日子过得稀里糊涂。不过，老爷子的歌词有口皆碑，万众传唱，这比开任何研讨会都珍贵。而我不懂歌词艺术，即使参加研讨会也说不出什么来。但对老爷子及你们全家给我的情谊，我铭记在心。为此，我准备认认真真写一篇文章，倾心说说老爷子和你们全家人对我的关爱。”

笑眯眯的，那个几年前常在电视里出现的如同弥勒佛的乔老爷，没有多少人不知道。他写的歌词，可谓点石成金，广为流传，说他是中国歌词界的泰斗，是没有人持疑义的。不说他在“**”前为电影《祖国的花朵》写的插曲《让我们荡起双桨》，为电影《上甘岭》写的插曲《我的祖国》早已家喻户晓，成了中国歌坛的经典，只说20世纪80年代后，乘着改革开放大潮，他写的《牡丹之歌》《爱我中华》《难忘今宵》《思念》《夕阳红》《说聊斋》等等，哪一首不风靡一时，久唱不衰？郭兰英、李谷一、彭丽媛、毛阿敏、宋祖英，这些在国内风光无限的一线歌手，都是唱着他的歌红起来的。不过，我如此强烈地想写写乔老爷，却不是因为他的歌词，而是因为他的为人，因为他对我的滴水之恩。中国有句老话“滴水之恩，当涌泉相报”，而我对他虽然没有涌泉相报之能，但涌泉相报之心还是有的。

乔老爷的滴水之恩那是40多年前的事了。当时比我大8岁的乔羽还年轻，才40出头。除了私下里，人们决不敢像现在那样开口闭口叫他乔老爷。既然叫了，他也会环顾左右，不敢答应。因为，那是个人鬼颠倒的年代，他和许多文艺界的著名人士一样，活得灰头土脸的。

清楚记得是1972年，“九一三”事件之后，我们这些因各种原因被迫离开北京的人，陆续回到北京。城里没有我们的窝了，都靠投亲访友过日子。我算幸运的，经胡华先生引荐，被中国革命博物馆收容。这是我一生中最窘迫也最狼狈的时候：父亲的冤案没有平反，年迈的母亲下放在江西鲤鱼洲，不知何时是归期，三个孩子因我和丈夫的感情破裂而处在骨肉分离中。难以启齿的是，国家经济萧条，商品奇缺，买粮要粮票，买肉要肉票，买布要布票，还有煤球票、肥皂票、白菜票什么的。我带着两个孩子，不仅没有这些票证，即使有，也买不起。因为我很久没有领到工资了，口袋里几乎不名一文。为了不饿着两个正在长身体的孩子，自己忍饥挨饿，节衣缩食，连午饭都省了。外出很少坐公共汽车，多远的地方都走着去。偶尔也使坏心眼，自己做一张假月票，趁人多的时候挤上车，拿出来远远地向售票员晃一下。售票员通常半睡半醒地趴在台子上，看都不看一眼。古人说一文钱逼死英雄汉，我是真正尝到了被钱逼死的那种感觉。可是，我还死要面子，怕人们知道指着我的脊背说：看，贺龙的女儿落难了，到了这种地步！

那年七八月的一天，天非常热，脚下的柏油路都被晒软了。我去给住在西便门附近的一个同事送药，不知不觉走到我母亲下放前住过的西便门国务院宿舍附近。忽然，一个高大的身影立在我面前，随后听见那人对我说：“这不是捷生吗？大中午的，天这么热，你去干什么？”我茫然抬起头，眼睛一亮，认出对方是大音乐家郑律成。他和我母亲住在同一个院子的同一栋楼里，母亲下放前我们在楼道或路上遇见他，还有他后来成为新中国第一位女大使的夫人丁雪松，常打招呼。

“吃饭了吗？”郑律成在确定站在他面前的真是我之后，不等我回答，又问。我望着他苦笑笑说：“郑叔叔，我没有吃午饭的习惯了。”郑律成看见我这副落魄的样子，明白我处境不好，叹息一声说：“不吃午饭怎么行？走，我带你去吃。”说着，他拽着我的手不由分说往既定的路上走。我个子小，身体弱，拽在他手里没有任何分量，只能由他。这样勉强走了几步，他松开手，自己在前面走，我在后面跟。

西便门国务院宿舍当年住着不少名人，有写过长篇小说《上海的早晨》的周而复，有截取过日本偷袭珍珠港情报、为世界反法西斯战争立下大功的红色特工阎宝航……再就是郑律成，他大名鼎鼎，是中央乐团（中国交响乐团前身）的专业作曲家。整个院子里的人都知道他，不仅因为他是朝鲜人，还因为他早在20世纪30年代就到了中国，在上海从事革命活动。1937年，他背着从朝鲜带来的小提琴到达延安，投身伟大的中国人民抗日事业。就是在这个时候，他请女诗人莫耶作词，谱写了著名的《延安颂》；请公木作词，写了更著名的《八路军进行曲》（1988年正式更名为《中国人民解放军军歌》）。在中国当代音乐史上，与冼星海、聂耳和田汉齐名。抗战胜利后，经过中央特批，他带着曾是抗日军政大学第三期女生队队长的妻子丁雪松回到了朝鲜，又写了朝鲜人民军军歌。要知道一个人能为两个国家的军歌作曲，在世界举世无双，因此享有“军歌之父”的美誉。1950年朝鲜战争爆发，经周总理批准并征得朝鲜金日成首相同意，他随在中国驻朝鲜大使馆任外交官的妻子丁雪松一起回国，正式加入中国籍。人们津津乐道的是，1943年他与丁雪松结婚后，上了抗日前线，怀着身孕而留在延安的丁雪松不慎在雪地上滑倒了，引起早产，生下一个女孩。孩子生下后因为没有奶，丁雪松把他从朝鲜辗转上海带来的那把心爱的小提琴卖了，换回一头刚下崽的母羊，每天给孩子挤羊奶喝，这才把孩子救活了。郑律成从前线回到延安，有感于他的那把提琴救了他的孩子，给孩子取名为郑小提。后来郑小提也成了音乐家，在总政歌舞团创作室任创作员，也和大家一样，在西便门国务院宿舍进进出出。

这是在十年“**”中，社会乱哄哄的，文艺团体像郑律成这样的大作曲家，都被打入另册。郑律成更因为历史复杂而受审查，要求他每天去团里报到，中午在那儿吃一顿样板饭。因为中央乐团是样板团，团里的饭也叫样板饭。那时他50多岁，身体很好，从西便门去地处和平里的单位路不算近，每天骑一辆破自行车来回。

那天郑律成没有骑自行车，看来不是去团里，也不是从团里回来，他说带我去吃午饭，可是，既不往他家里带，也没有往街边的小餐馆带，更不可能带我去路途遥远的样板团吃样板饭。当时在小餐馆吃饭也要用粮票，我猜想他家里不开火，上餐馆也囊中羞涩，不知这顿饭怎么吃，吃什么。因此，跟着他在烈日下走，沿路我犹豫不决，走不是，不走也不是。在我的记忆中，好像穿过了半个北京城。

当他带着我穿过大街小巷，敲开大柳树一个破败院落的一扇普普通通的门的时候，我才知道，他把我带到了他的好朋友乔羽家。

乔羽的名字对于我来说，太熟悉了，简直如雷贯耳。因为我也是文学青年，喜欢“**”前的电影、小说、诗歌和歌曲，唱过乔羽写的《让我们荡起双桨》和《我的祖国》等电影插曲，还知道他是人人皆知的电影《红孩子》和《刘三姐》的编剧。在我心目中，这两项占一项就不得了了，而他两项都占了，太了不起了。

出现在我面前的乔羽，却不像我想象的那么高大，那么英俊。他个子不高，微胖，穿着一身颜色单调的衣服，才40多岁，但没有这个年纪的干练和锐气。让我感到奇怪的是，郑律成这么大一个音乐家来访，他也不特别热情，甚至有些无所适从。站在他身边明显高出他一头的妻子，反而气质高雅，衣着光鲜，头发梳得纹丝不乱；30多岁的人，还可以用亭亭玉立来形容。后来我才知道，乔羽从他工作的中国歌剧舞剧院下放在张家口，那天是偶尔回家的，碰巧被郑律成和我遇上了。而郑律成顺便带上我去找他，是给毛主席写了一封申诉信，反映他历史问题的清白，但他的汉字写得不好，想请乔羽给他抄一遍。

乔羽的妻子佟琦之所以给我留下深刻印象，是因为她是满人，贵族出身，祖辈曾是朝廷的高级将领，人们在私下里都称她格格。据说顺治皇帝的佟妃，就出自他们家族。由于出身高贵，又有良好的家教，她言行和衣着与众不同，即使在那样极端的年代，也敢于标新立异，特立独行。在山东济宁故乡当过小学教员的乔羽，纯粹一介平民，1946年参加革命后，虽说上了晋冀鲁豫边区的北方大学，但那也是土大学。他之所以有今天，是一路吃苦耐劳走过来的。因此，当他站在佟琦身边，形成明显的对照，也因此他们戏剧性地过了一辈子。

看见大音乐家郑律成带着我在午饭时间走进家里，女主人佟琦表情木然，站在那儿不动，没有给我们做饭的意思。我又猜，她肯定有难言之隐，那时粮食定量，她家三个孩子，老大老二是男孩，正是胃口大开的年龄，多招待客人一顿饭，自己就得饿一顿。也是后来才知道，佟琦是中国文联医务室的医生，虽说有皇家血统，但她在单位仍属群众行列，再说，她的医生职业又是人们得罪不起的。因此，乔羽被下放了，她还能带着三个孩子留下来。但要管好这五口之家，她也得量力而出，精打细算。因为在文艺界听多了男女之间的风流韵事，她特别痛恨男人拈花惹草。

郑律成和乔羽坐在狭窄的客厅有一搭没一搭地说着话，我完全成了多余的人，那种气氛让我尴尬极了。郑律成突然意识到什么，指着里面的房间对乔羽说，老乔，我给你说几句话。两个人进去后，声音压得很低，嘀嘀咕咕一阵，乔羽冲着门外大喊，佟琦，你进来！女主人进去三两分钟，声音突然高起来：你个死老郑，有话怎么不早说呢？人家是公主啊！你看慢待她了。然后斩钉截铁地说，我出去买菜，割肉割肉！说话间，她已大步流星走回客厅，刚才还表情木然的脸春风荡漾。我惊惶地站起来，她风一样刮到我面前，压住我的两个肩膀说：你坐你坐，和老郑、老乔好好聊天，我去给你们割肉包饺子。

同样也是后来我才知道，郑律成和乔羽进到里屋，是向他解释，我并非佟琦痛恨的那种迎合男人拈花惹草的女人，而是贺龙元帅落难的大女儿。在命运上同样经历了颠簸的佟琦，听说我的身份和处境，大吃一惊，一股侠胆柔情油然而生，对我的态度突然来了一个一百八十度的大转弯。我还未从愣怔中回过神来，她已经提上篮子去菜市场买菜了。当时乔羽的供给关系不在北京，她和三个孩子每月每人只有二两肉票，她一口气全买了。回到家，不要任何人沾手，一个人在厨房里丁丁当当包起饺子来。我进厨房去帮她，她举起两只沾满面粉的手，用臂弯把我推了出来，说请你都请不来，哪能让你动手呢？

这顿午饭，我是含着泪水吃完的。八两肉包出的饺子，乔羽和郑律成基本上是蜻蜓点水。两个人只顾对付乔羽从床底下搜出来的一瓶酒，你一杯我一杯，装出很陶醉的样子。佟琦则坐在我对面，痛惜地望着我，不断地催促说，吃啊吃啊，老郑老乔喝酒，你不管他们。她还说捷生，你父亲贺龙是开国元帅，国家的大功臣，不会整死就整死了，总有一天要给他平反昭雪。今后的日子会好起来的。郑律成和乔羽也附和说，是啊，是啊，苍天有眼，将来一定会还贺龙元帅公道。然后劝我想开一点，把心放宽，先把孩子养大，把难关渡过去，相信总有云开雾散的时候。

听着这些暖心暖肺的话，我真想趴在桌上，放声大哭。

从此，我和乔羽成了心心相印的朋友，和佟琦更是亲如姐妹，她叫我公主，我叫她格格，两个见面无话不说。他家的三个孩子，对我以妈妈相称。当然，我父亲的冤案也很快被澄清了。1975年6月9日，在父亲含冤逝世6周年之际，在中共中央召开的“贺龙同志骨灰安放仪式上，周总理抱病从医院赶来致悼词。20世纪80年代，我回到了部队，老伴李振军担任武警第一任政委。乔羽的小儿子乔方（歌曲《红旗飘飘》的词作者）中学毕业后，没有工作，我和老伴想尽办法把他招到了部队。

可惜郑律成没有活到让我报答的这一天。那是1976年12月，刚刚粉碎”**“，张家口复排反映我父亲领导南昌起义的京剧《八一风暴》，邀请南昌起义将领的亲属和孩子们去观摩，郑律成也在邀请之列。从张家口回来的第二天，12月7日，喜欢撒网捕鱼并写过《川江号子》的郑律成带着侄孙女银珠和6岁的外孙剑锋去昌平京杭大运河捕鱼，突发脑溢血，栽倒在河边。偏僻的运河边根本没有出租车，两个年幼的孩子边哭边艰难地把他弄到岸上，拦了一辆三轮车往昌平城里送。但终因耽搁太久，我们的大音乐家再也没有醒来。得到消息，乔老爷极度悲伤。几年后，他在矗立在八宝山郑律成墓前的墓志上写道：”郑律成同志是一位将自己的生命与中国人民革命事业结为一体的革命家。人民是不朽的，律成同志的歌曲也是不朽的。
