Cleaner, I admire you, you should learn silently selfless dedication -.

Most of the people who admire it are famous scientists, or great people familiar with it, but I admire the street angels cleaning workers who are unknown.

I saw a story: a dustman was beaten by a group of small posters when he advertised a small advertisement at the bus stop at the bus stop. Its true that those who put up small ads are obviously wrong, not only do not admit mistakes, but also hit the cleaning worker. Thats disgusting. He doesnt even think about it. Dont you save money for publicity? You cant ruin our homes.

Think carefully, some people because they are humble and belittle them, and because they dirty, see them, avoid everywhere, or even tell the child, do not contact him. But if our earth has no cleaner, the earth will be everywhere is dirty, become people, not out of the house at The atmosphere was foul.. Has everyone thought of this situation? Have you thought about it? Why do cleaners have to clean the city? Is it because cleaners pay a high salary? But they cant afford to buy good clothes. Is it because they love to sweep the streets? Can they all of a sweat. In fact, the cleaner is also because of their knowledge level is not high enough to engage in the cleaning industry. But they still make contributions to society. Cleaner, let our next generation can have a good living environment.

How ordinary and great the cleaners are! They make our city so clean and so beautiful. I think theyre worth a lot more than we do.

Cleaner! I admire you! I want to contribute to the people as much as you do.

篇7:小升初英语备考英文写作中的词语选择_700字

1.词语选择的重要性

在The Right Word at the Right Time的“序言”中,编者对词语选用的重要性作了一个很好的比喻:“Using the right word at the right time is rather like wearing appropriate clothing for the occasion:

it is a courtesy to others,and a favor to yourself-a matter of presenting yourself well in the eyes of the world."

显然,说话或写文章时用词适当比穿着适当难度大得多,因而也具有更大的重要性。在我国,古人写文章时常为一个词语的选用具思苦想,因而有“语不惊人死不休”的说法。

成语“一字值千金”也说明了选择词语的极端重要性。有时“一字之差”造成令人遗憾的败笔,或招致成千上万的经济损失。这些反面的教训也告诉我们必须重视词语选用的问题。

2.词语选择的可能性

实际上,我们每个人的脑子里都有了一个或大或小的词库,只要我们肯去发掘,往往可以得到更好的表达方式。这是我们做好词语选用的主观条件。

从客观条件广看,我们有各种类型的词典和参考书,只要我们平时多翻译、多阅读,写作时勤查考,就会在词语选用上不断进步。当然,一部好词典也不会毫无缺点,更难以面面俱到,因此在这里我们应牢牢记住著名英国作家、评论家和辞书编纂家Johson的话:

篇8:感恩节的英文介绍

全文共 7208 字

+ 加入清单

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and expressgratitude in general. It is a holidaycelebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on

September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

Thanksgiving Dayin America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holidaymeals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giantballoons.

在美国,感恩节是一个感谢恩赐,家庭团聚,合家欢宴的日子;是一个家家餐桌上都有火鸡、填料、南瓜馅饼的日子;是一个充满了印第安玉米、假日游行和巨型气球的日子。

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, which this year (2005) is November 24th.

每年十一月的最后一个星期四是感恩节,在今年(2005)则是11月24日。下面让我们来看看感恩节的由来吧:

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchantedwith the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the companys

interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

乘"五月花"来到这个国度的旅行者(朝圣者)原本是英国分离者地下x会清教徒,他们的家在英国,因不堪忍受国内的宗教迫害,他们逃亡到荷兰。在荷兰,他们享受了更多的宗教信仰自由,但最终却意识到在荷兰的这种生活方式是对他们的主的亵渎。为了寻求更好的生活,他们与伦敦贸易公司协商,由该公司资助他们到美国。在这趟旅途中,船上只有大约1/3的乘客是清教徒,其他大多数人并非分离派清教徒,而是公司雇佣来保护其利益的人员(契约奴)。

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who

had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

1620年12月11日,旅行者们在"普利茅斯石"登陆。他们的第一个冬季是灾难性的,第二年秋天来临时,原来的102名乘客只剩下56人。但1621年他们获得了大丰收,这些幸存的殖民者们决定和帮助他们度过困难的91名印第安人一起飨宴庆祝。他们相信,若没有当地居民的帮助,他们是不可能度过这一年的。这次节日的盛宴不仅仅是一个"感恩"仪式,它更像英国传统的丰收庆典。庆典持续了三天。

Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

总督布雷德福派了“四人捕鸟队”去捕捉野鸭和野鹅。我们现在并不能确定是否有野生火鸡在当时的筵席上,但筵席上肯定有鹿肉。当时,朝圣者用 "火鸡"一词来代表各种野禽。

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn

crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no

domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potatowas still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.

现在,几乎每家感恩节餐桌上都有南瓜馅饼――感恩节的另一种主食。但在当年的第一次庆典上却不可能有这种食品。因为面粉奇缺,所以面包、馅饼、糕点等食物都没有。但他们却吃了煮南瓜,并用收获的玉米制成了一种油炸面包。也没有牛奶、苹果酒、土豆和黄油。没有驯养的奶牛,自然没有牛奶;而新发现的土豆被很多欧洲人认为是有毒的。第一次庆典上有鱼、草莓、豆瓣菜、龙虾、干果、蛤、鹿肉、李子等。

This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during a severe drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain. When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradford proclaimed another dayof Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. It wasnt until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

紧接着的第二年(1622)却没有举行"感恩"庆典。到了1623年,发生了一场严重的旱灾,朝圣者们聚集到一起,举行了虔诚的祁雨仪式,刚好在第二天,一场充沛的大雨从天而降。威廉布雷德福总督宣布再次庆祝感恩节,并再次邀请了他们的印第安朋友。之后数年无感恩节,直到1676年6月,感恩节才再次被提出。 每年11月的第四个星期四是感恩节 (Thanksgiving Day) 。感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日,也是美国人合家欢聚的节日,因此美国人提起感恩节总是倍感亲切。

感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。1620年,著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天,他们遇到了难以想象的困难,处在饥寒交迫之中,冬天过去时,活下来的移民只有50来人。这时,心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品,还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下,移民们终于获得了丰收,在欢庆丰收的日子,按照宗教传统习俗,移民规定了感谢上帝的日子,并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助,邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

在第一个感恩节的这一天,印第安人和移民欢聚一堂,他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮,列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子,虔诚地向上帝表达谢意,然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动。第一个感恩节非常成功。其中许多庆祝方式流传了300多年,一直保留到今天。

初时感恩节没有固定日期,由各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年,林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日

Fourth of November every year is Thanksgiving Day on Thursday

(Thanksgiving Day). Thanksgiving Day is a creative USA the people antiquited festival, festival being also an American whole family happy get-together, American mentions Thanksgiving Day therefore always feeling very kind.

The Thanksgiving Day reason needs to trace back to till USA history start.

Winter in 1621 joint of in 1620 and, they have come across difficulty hard to imagine, above being poverty-stricken, past

Saving Water

As we know, water is so important to man. Theamount of water which is

suitable to drink is less and less. But somepeople don’t care about it. They

waste a lot of water in their dailylife. Even worse, they pour dirty water and

throw rubbish into rivers.Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluted.

Something must be doneto stop the pollution(to deal with the problem). And

I think it’s agreat shame to waste while millions are in great need of

water.Wehave to save every drop of water. For example, turn off the tap

afterusing it and use a basin to wash as well. It’s also a good idea to

encouragemy friends and family members to join me! Only in this way can we

livehappily. If not, the last drop of water will be the tear.

I believe if everyone dose like this, we can make agreat difference.

However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.

This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fools Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

In Scotland, for example, April Fools Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.

Mexicos counterpart of April Fools Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.

Pranks performed on April Fools Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoes untied, or I accidentally stepped on your glasses!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"

Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fools Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fools Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.

April Fools Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. Its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

Today, people treat money the first place in their life, they work hard for making money, because without money, one can’t do a lot of things, indeed, we need money. When people get married, the first thing they do is to get enough money to buy a house, money seems everything. While on my opinion, money can’t buy happiness, I see some guys who are not rich, but they live in a free way, they move everywhere they want, they feel happy.

当我们呱呱坠地时就以经开始有责任感了。对父母,对社会上的所有,只有你负了责任,别人一定也在为你负责。下面是小编带来的是关于责任的英文作文,希望对您有帮助。

The moonlight shines in through the window, clean the floor, the floor if hydroscope, reflecting the gentle, pure as jade october. The shelves of books, at the moment, become a small soldier, a sentry in order to stand strict in demands. Is it because of the magic of moonlight that makes everything clean and tidy?

Who can think of, this clean room was messy "dog"?

"The room is so messy, it takes a lot of time to do it for you every time." The mother with her brows locked, sweeping and sweeping, and even a little confused.

"My big lady, usually you also clean up the room, OK?"."

"Oh, I see." I was waving impatiently.

In a flash, mom suddenly exploded: "every time its" I know ", but which one did you do? Just a slob!"

Im not happy when I listen to my mother. Its natural revolt. Family wars broke out.

The end of the war, both sides, mother angrily left. I am also the nose, reddish eyes. Silence for a while, I turned off the lights, ready to sleep. Outside the window, the bright moonlight flows into the room, infiltrates in my body, moist like water, gives the human feeling of comfort, resembles comforts, also appears in the instruction. Yes, it might be a good thing to tidy up the room as if it were moonlight or clean water.

Second days after the completion of the operation, I diligently will manageably desk have all a hideous mess of information. At the beginning, it was not suitable, and gradually, it was not so confused. Soon, the table was cleaned. Extracurricular books are extracurricular books, textbooks are textbooks, and learning materials and entertainment products have their respective fixed positions. Then fold the clothes scattered on the bed, put them into the wardrobe, and tidy up the schoolbag well. All pick up after, I wiped the sweat on the head carefully wiping the amount of fine, a surprise to see the finishing room, everything is so neat.

When my mother came in and gave me the apple, her eyes were pleasantly surprised, and she praised me with her thumbs up. I have some awkward to head off the past, the mouth of the slightly rising radian, but overflowing the pride and joy of my heart.

Night, moonlight, like songs, if in the language: perhaps responsible for the process will shed hard sweat, but the results are always sweet responsibility.

月光透过窗,照在干净的地板上,地板若水镜,倒映出温柔的、皎洁如白玉的月辉。书架上的一本本书,在此刻,化身成为了一个个放哨的小士兵,井然有序地,一丝不苟的站着。是否是因为月光的魔力才让一切变得整洁干净?

谁又能想到,这干净的房间曾是凌乱的“狗窝”?

“房间这么乱,每次帮你整理都要要花费很多时间。”眉头紧锁着的妈妈,边扫地边整理着,甚至有点手忙脚乱。

“我的大小姐,平时你也清理一下房间好不好。”

“哦,我知道了”我有些不耐烦的挥挥手。

一瞬间,老妈突“爆炸”了:“每次都是‘我知道了’,可是你又有哪次做到了呢?简直就是一个大懒鬼!”

听着老妈的话,我也不太高兴,自然是反抗,家庭大战爆发了。

战争结束了,两败俱伤,老妈气呼呼的走了。我也是鼻子发酸,眼眶微红。静默了好一会,我关了灯,准备睡觉。窗户外,皎洁的月光流进房间,浸润在我的身上,湿润如水,给人舒适之感,似在安抚,又似在教导。是啊,如果将房间整理得如月光、如流水般干净,说不定也是件好事。

第二天,完成作业后,我勤快地将书桌上摆得七零八落的资料收拾好。一开始还有些不适应,渐渐地,也不是那么手忙脚乱了。很快,桌子清理好了。课外书是课外书,教科书是教科书,学习用品和娱乐用品都有了它们各自固定的位置。再将散落在床上的衣服叠好,放进衣柜,将书包好好整理好。一切收捡好后,我抹了抹额头上细细细细的汗珠,惊喜地看着整理后的房间,一切都是如此整洁。

老妈进屋给我送苹果的时候,眼底也染上了惊喜,竖起大拇指表扬我。我有些别扭地将头别了过去,嘴角那微微上扬的弧度却溢出了我心底的自豪与喜悦。

夜晚,月色悠悠,似在歌,若在语:或许负责的过程会洒下辛苦的汗水,但是尽责的结果,总是甜的。
