澳大利亚之旅的英文(优秀20篇)

Travel security, is not only related to his own life and safety, also respect others life to reflect, it is to build the harmonious societys important factors. Through the flow traffic, "loving the life, safe travel" eight words in my mind appears more prominent. Mention travel security, it is hard to let a person think of traffic safety. In daily life, traffic safety always around us. As long as you travel with traffic safety, and hit the idea. An absent-minded, when walking when crossing the street when a fluke, drive a violation, is only a little oversight, all these will make a life is transient.

Fly xuan wheels will mercilessly devoured the pedestrians life.

Ever seen a story:

"national every 6 minutes will have one person died of a wheel under". This is not true.

Bitter facts once again give us was a wake-up call: "civilized journey, civilization walk". Modern traffic developed although has brought people endless facilities, but also increased a lot of security lapses. Someone once said traffic accident for "modern social traffic war", traffic accidents like an invisible killer, lurking in the road waiting for illegal illegal person appear. Therefore, people should learn to protect themselves, make a civilized journey, civilization walk habit.

"Human life only have once," "the most precious is life", the blood tragedy told we must abide by traffic regulations, accomplish truly "loving the life, safe travel".

Safe travel, builds the good traffic running environment for the harmonious societys construction unconscious, and building a harmonious society and to the construction of traffic safety hold up a blue sky. This is a win-win wisdom. As an ordinary pupil, abide by traffic regulations, maintain traffic order is we should have the social morality. "Civilization walk, to construct harmonious", this requires each citizen starts from oneself, from small start, let "peace avenue" more unimpeded!

The history of the Spring Festival is very long. Legend has it that there was the custom of "Spring Festival" in the neolithic period. There is a legend about the origin of "Spring Festival" : there was an animal called nian in ancient China. "Year", the head long antenna, fierce abnormality. "Nian" lived at the bottom of the sea for a long time, and every day on a certain day (it was New Years eve), he climbed ashore and devoured livestock and killed people. Therefore, every New Years eve, the people of the village of the village of the village of the village to help young people to escape the "year" of harm.

On the New Years eve, an old beggar came from the village. Village a hurried panic scene, nobody answered him, only village east an old woman gave the old man some food, and urged him quickly up the hill avoid "year", the old man beard snatched up say with smile: "mother-in-law if let me stay overnight in the home, Ill get years away." The old woman continued to persuade, begging the old man smiling without a word.

In the middle of the night, "nian" broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the wife of the village dongtou, the door was covered with red paper, the candle in the house was bright. "Nian" shuddered, a strange cry. Near the door, there was a sudden "crackling", "nian" shuddering, and dared not to move forward. Originally, "nian" was most afraid of the red, the fire and the explosion. At this time, the door of the mother-in-law opened, and a man in red robe in the hospital laughed. "Nian" paled with surprise, and fled. The next day was the first day of the first month, and people who came back to the village were surprised to see the village safe and sound. At this moment, the old woman suddenly understood, and hurried to tell the villagers the promise of begging the old man. It quickly spread around the village, and people knew how to get rid of the year.

From now on, every year on New Years eve, every house red couplet, set off firecrackers; Householder candle fire is clear, shoule to be old. Early in the early morning, I would like to walk a friend to say hello. This custom has been widely circulated, becoming the most solemn traditional festival of Chinese folk.

Inrecent years, tourism has been popular and played an important role in ournation’s economic growth. However, I am afraid that if tourism develops over,it will bring harm to the environment and give rise to many problems.

近年来，旅游业已经变得很流行，在我国经济发展中发挥了重要作用。然而，我害怕如果旅游业过度发展，它会给环境带来危害，并引发很多问题。

Thereare a few reasons accounting for my views and I would like to list three ofthem. One of the examples is that a large number of woods and other plants werereplaced by all kinds of accommodation facilities or scenic spots. Thatdefinitely breaks the ecological balance of these areas and destroys thenatural beauty of the scenic spots. Worse still, more pressure has been placedenvironment protection in that many tourists left their garbage in the scenicspots. In addition, over-developed tourism will occupy large numbers offarmland and lead to the shortage of the land.

我想列出其中三个可以解释我观点的几个理由。其中一个例子是大量的森林以及一些其他的植物被各种住宿设施或风景名胜区替代了。那肯定会打破这些地区的生态平衡，破坏风景名胜区的自然美。更糟的是，环境保护已经面临更大的压力了，因为许多游客在离开景点的时候把他们的垃圾丢在景点里。此外，过度开发旅游业会占用大量的耕地，导致土地短缺。

Ina word, tourism will be harmful to our environment if it is over development.Thus, I do not advocate that we development tourism without considering theenvironment. And we should keep the balance between tourism development andenvironment protection so that we can achieve the sustainable developmentbetween our nation’s economy and the environment.

总之，如果过度开发旅游业会对我们的环境有害。因此，我不同意在没考虑环境问题下就开发旅游业。我们应该保持旅游开发与环境保护之间的平衡，使我们能够在我们国家的经济和环境之间实现可持续发展。

Fathers Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males,

just as Mothers Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers

and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Fathers Day is

celebrated on different days in different countries.

Fathers Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate

fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers Day is

celebrated on Saint Josephs Day, March 19, though in most countries Fathers

Day is a secular celebration.

In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling

male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other childrens

programs commonly have activities to make Fathers Day gifts.

In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the

celebration of Fathers Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston,

Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single

parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna

Jarviss efforts to establish Mothers Day. Although she initially suggested

June 5, the anniversary of her fathers death, she did not provide the

organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was

deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Fathers Day was celebrated on

June 19, 1910, in Spokane.

Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was

immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his

family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday

in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Fathers Day a holiday to be

celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially

recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.

新任的台湾地区领导人蔡英文：

您好！

话说您在选举时，便声称“要独立”，台湾人民大部分反映的都很响！果不其然，在马英九退位后，您直接同日本、美国交好，决心脱离大陆。

但“台独”对您和台湾有什么好处呢？

在您胜任之前，台湾人民与大陆交往甚好，不少大陆人飞往台湾欣赏美景，也有不少台湾人在大陆落地生根安居乐业，您为何要打破这种平静美好呢？

当然，您会觉得您不是大陆人，而是台湾人，但是你不能连累整个台湾岛。

您难道没有发现美国、日本虽然和你有来往，但他们却没有和您走的太近吗？在他们眼中，您和台湾就一棋子，台湾根本不是大陆的对手。

没错，台湾是后来才回归大陆的，你们虽然一直不认为自己是中国人，要独立，但大陆却一直把你们当做自己人呐。

你再想想，台湾如果真的独立了，中国身为“世界第二大经济体”，你们的日子会好过吗？

但如果您和台湾回归大陆，大陆必定以礼相待。虽然在短时间内台湾民众会产生怨念，说你“骗了他们”，但日子长了，他们就会感受到这样做带来的好处。

两岸的关系更进一步，是台湾和大陆都希望看到的。

大陆和台湾就像兄弟一样，之间不应该有缝隙。

大陆和台湾就像母子一样，大陆张开双臂，如台湾想回到母亲的怀抱，大陆会立刻送上火热的胸怀，迎接台湾这个浪子迷途知返，扑入母亲怀中。

回来吧，台湾，蔡英文，你想想。

此致

敬礼！

Fathers Day is here, and my heart is full of mixed feelings. Because I

think of my dad. At the same time, I also remembered a song "Grateful Heart", I

believe everyone has heard it. Grateful heart, accompany you. Grateful heart,

reminds me of my father. This song expresses my fathers love for us. He raised

us. We must know how to love. In the future, I will repay his kindness of

upbringing.

The word "father" has two words. It is so familiar to us, so kind.

My father wakes up early and goes to bed late every day so that our two

brothers and sisters can live a happy life. Once, when I was sick, it was in the

middle of the night and I developed a high fever. I felt hot all over and my

hands and feet were cold, which made me very uncomfortable. At this time, Dad

seemed to have noticed something unusual about me. So he asked me, "Son, whats

wrong with you?" I said sadly: "Im very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable." Dad

touched my forehead and said, "Son, you have a fever, but, now...now is

Midnight." After a while.

Dad is carrying a basin of water. Then, put a wet hand towel on my

forehead. My forehead suddenly became a lot cooler. Thats it, my dad keeps

changing my handkerchiefs like this. Not as hot as before, but still hot.

When I woke up, I was lying in the hospital bed on an IV. I found that my

grandmother was beside me. I asked: "Grandma, where is Dad?" Grandma kindly said

to me: "Your dad just went out. Your dad has been by your side to take care of

you most of the night. You have to be grateful!" I nodded.

I know that my father has been very busy in recent years, but no matter how

busy he is, he still finds time to take care of me and care about me. These left

a deep impression on my memory.

Finally, I want to wish Dad, and to all fathers in the world, a Happy

Fathers Day.

有这么一个人，我对她最熟悉不过了。

她呀，个子还算高，瘦瘦的，像根弱不禁风的豆芽菜;一条马尾辫常常甩在后脑勺;两道月牙一样的眉毛下是一双炯炯有神的眼睛;高挺的鼻子下有一整小巧的.嘴。

她的性格怎么说呢，这样说吧：她有时泼辣，有时文静。她的爱好广泛的很，读书啦、运动啦、写作文啦……说到写作文，她还与它有一段冤缘呢。起初，她并不喜欢写作文，可是老妈的命令下，她哪敢不从呢!写着写着，既然喜欢上了写作文，你说怪不怪?

她也有一颗善良的心：一天，她下午在学校教室与同学扫地。本与同学商量好，教室总共有三组，一人扫一组，中间一组一起扫。可是，她的同学肚子疼，她已扫完一组，可她的同学还是不舒服，所以她就自己一个人扫完了三个组，并且还不忘送她的同学去给老师看看。看吧，她就是这么一个好心肠的女孩。

同学们，你们猜猜，她是谁啊?告诉你们，她就是我。怎么样，猜着了么?

"La Traviata" is the most successful Dumas pen works. It tells the story of a dirty whore in the eyes of the world with a romantic, inexperienced youth poignant love story.

The theme of "love" is an indispensable part of literary creation. Depicted in Dumass love and will not feel embarrassed, shy, and I read his description in, see is sincere and pure love.

I was moved by the image of the heroine, Margaret. The author was not afraid of her prostitutes habits: loved luxury, dissolute life, often binge drinking. It is the real image that makes me feel the truth of the story and the delicacy of the emotion. On the other hand, the author goes deep into the inner world of the character. The life of merry is a reflection of Margarets abandonment of life and the reality of ambition. Similarly, Margaret also has some simple things. She pursues this sincere love, is willing to sacrifice herself, abandon the luxurious life, and also with the beloved. Everywhere for Valentines Valentines sake, do not want to spend a penny, so she sold her carriage, jewelry, shawls. In the end, even for the future of the lover and for the marriage of the beloved sister, give up the happiness that he has already got. You say that this woman is not worthy of love?

"In a Zhang Yan hues oval, inlaid with two black eyes, like painting Daimei - curved, general: this pair of eyes covered in thick eyelashes, when the eyelash falls, red cheeks seemed to cast a shadow on the nose, delicate, graceful, full of aura, nose a little outward open mouth: well proportioned, soft lips enlight gracefully, then revealing a white teeth, a layer of hair and skin colour, like people without hands touched the peach." this is the same sweater Dumas description of the Margaret trade, meticulous, clear and vivid. She seemed pretty face just act on paper, want to let people enjoy a.

In the article there is such a scene: Margaret is an alcoholic, put his body down, pain, heartache Armand Margaret, hold her hand, put it on his lips, two drops for a long time could not stop the tears dripping wet her hand. Armand loved tears and wept for Margaret. She didnt care for her tears. Armand didnt retain his feelings to express his feelings. Margaret was so touched by the fact that his work was so successful through the description of the task and the portrait of love.

Such a sincere, lovely woman, the last fate is miserable: soon after leaving her lover, she dies due to pain. When they die, they rush to collect accounts and interest immediately, and rush to auction her articles.

Margarets red and purple, behind but very lonely.

Nowaday, The number of the traffic accidents has been growing in recent years. In 2004, up to 570,000 road accidents occurred in China, which claimed a total of 109,000 lives. The situation got worse in 2008. Statistics show that merely from January to October saw 566,000 tragedies happen with a higher death rate.

The above aching fact reminds us that it s high time we faced and solves this problem! Though our country owns only 2% of the world cars, it contributes amazingly 22% to the total accidents! Doubtlessly, our country ranks first as the most serious traffic accident rate.

China cannot afford millions of life losses, and we can not let the sorrow slow down our development speed. The government must play the most important role in solve the problem. Strict traffic rules should be made, and more importantly, practiced and followed. According to some other countries experience, high fine may also help. Slow down the speed of cars, as well as our country, there are always something worth your attention.

对于求职者来说，如何用心创造有个性的求职信？英文求职信的写作方法有哪些呢？

虽然求职信一般来说包括1.你得知这份工作的管道。2.学历及职历的概要。3.你的个性以及能力。4.联络地点、联络方式，以及最后的感谢语等，但其实这里可以发挥创意的空间非常的大。求职信的诉求在于延续求职简历的内容，更清楚的表现工作企图心、个性、特质等。另外，有时写些自己平时喜欢从事的活动来补充履历也很不错。

举例来说，你甚至可以这么写：「我工作时专注的耐力就是从钓鱼中培养出来的」。

求职信的书写诀窍

1.表现自我的个性及特质

建议使用积极正面的陈述方式。

2.文章不可冗长

控制在总共四段、每段五行以内。

3.前瞻性的气魄

具有勇于突破与开创气质的人是外商公司的最爱。因此并不需要对之前辞职的原委做太多的解释。

4.少用第一人称

为了避免流于自大与主观的缺点，尽量少用第一人称。

说明你从何处得知这个工作机会

这是最基本的部份。一般来说会将媒体广告的名称改用别的字体书写或用底线加以标记。在这个段落中也可加上你的目标。

强调自己就是最佳的人选

这是最精华的段落。要依据求才广告的内容，将自己的能力及特色恰如其份的包装起来。不过在工作经验不足的情况下，要避免将自己吹嘘的过分离谱。

在结尾部份注意应有的礼貌

最后的部份建议要以感谢对方在百忙之中阅读这份履历表，并且“诚挚的期望能得到面试的机会”、“希望有荣幸能为公司效力”这样的句子作为结尾，让主管留下好的印象。

Although every day we ate hamburgers, French fries, drink a chocolate drink, one family reunion round together, I think this is a happy life.

Mom and dad always said joy of peace, but I am very strange, it is made up of those world war?

Some time ago, a sensation in the world of the war in Iraq, I saw the Iraqi refugee camp residents on TV, where they eat, can hear the child crying every day. Look at the battlefield, many corpses lying spread all across in confusion, these soldiers land was stained with blood, and artillery bombardment of the aircraft shot down the bomb, can whenever and wherever possible sounded, oh, this is a time of peace and happiness of life?

Now TV stations are playing Taiwan every day to be independent. China is negotiating with Taiwan. I am a Chinese and have the responsibility to pay attention to national events. I think Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, even if it has not returned to the mothers embrace of the motherland, but it is the "son" of the mother of the motherland.

Television is a popular theme of Japanese television drama, I saw Chinese workers in Japan at the scene, Chinese Japanese in order to complete the project after go home, what have suffered, and hateful to Japanese after they finish the project all day I kill them, how hateful ah, I feel sad Chineses death, and pride is more Chinese firm and inflexible spirit!

I hope the world is full of peace and never have war!

When I came home from school in the afternoon, I saw a lovely bird on a green grass in the yard.

It has brown feathers on the head; the belly feathers are white; tail feathers are exceptionally beautiful, a shiny green long feathers in the golden feathers; a pair of Black Jeweled eyes; sharp mouth.

I just think it to look around, I want to find the worms eat it. As I walked a little further forward, the bird heard a noise and spread its wings like an arrow that flew out and flew away.

有两则关于同一条英语谚语Blood is thicker than water的译例。其一是“清水不浓血却浓”，其二是“血浓于水”。从字面上看，上述两则译例译得固然不错，似无可厚非。译文读起来很顺，又比较易懂，但读后似有不知所云之感。

这是因为译文的形象没能准确地传达出这条谚语的喻义来。

Longman Dictionary of English Idioms（p.28）上对这条谚语的解释是“The relationship between people of the same family is stronger than other，relationships”因此，这则谚语似可以借用汉语中一句俗语“亲不亲一家人”来译更能表达出“属于同一血缘关系的一家人比别人更亲近一些”的寓意。

语言是文化的表现形式。谚语同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华。英语谚语是富于色彩的语言形式，一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上，英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此，翻译英语谚语时，仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性（等价性）为前提，寻求对等的表现是不够的。译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段，力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言内涵色彩，才能使译文讽喻得当，宜于说理，又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。

某些英语谚语和汉语成语、俗语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。汉译这些英语时，可惜用与其喻义相同或相近的成语或谚语及俗语直接对译。这样不但可以比较好地保持原文的神韵和形式，又使译文易于为读者或听者接受。如：

Pride comes before a fall．骄兵必败。

Amiss is as good as a mile.差之毫厘，失之千里。

Two is company，but three is none.两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚无水吃。

Walls have ear.隔墙有耳。

Enough is as good as a feast．知足常乐。

有些英语谚语虽然在语言习惯和文化背景方面和其相对的汉语谚语之间存在着某些差异，而且所比喻的事物并不一样，但他们的喻义却相互吻合，而且表达方式也很相似，汉译这些英语谚语时，常常需要“易其形式，存其精神”，即采用形象近似的汉语成语意译。这样可使译文既喻义明显，又含而不露，且可再现原文所具有的语言效果，容易达意。如：

Two can play the game.孤掌难鸣。

Newbroom sweeps clean.新官上任三把火。

Speak of the devil，and he appears.说曹操，曹操到。

The grass is greener on the other side of the hill．这山望着那山高。

Putting the cart before the horse.本末倒置。

有些英语谚语意在言外，语言含蓄，寓意深刻。如果仅从字面意义直译成汉语，而不领会原文的具体含义及其效果，译文势必平淡无味。这样既不能表达意思，又有损于原文的语言形象和丰富内涵。因此，在翻译时，应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻义相同或效果相似的成语、谚语或俗语来表达，则会使译文形象生动，准确达意。试比较下列各译例。

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.如译成“住在玻璃房子里的人，不应扔石头”不如译成“己有过，勿正人”或“责人必先责己”。

In fair weather prepare for the foul．如译成“晴天要防阴天”，不如译成“有备无患”或“居安思危”或“未雨绸缪”。

Murder will out．如译成“谋杀终必败露”，不如译成“纸包不住火”。

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread．如译成“愚者敢闯天使不敢去的地方”，不如译成“初生牛犊不怕虎”。

One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.如译成“想吃煎蛋卷，就得打鸡蛋”，不如译成工“有得必有失”或甚至可以引申为“不破不立”。

如果所要翻译的谚语喻义清新，形象逼真，按其字面直译其意，就能表达出原文的喻义来，则可直译。这样做既能较完整地保存原文的表达方式，且又可丰富我们自己的语言文化，一举两得，请看下面的译例。

God helps those who help themselves.上帝帮助那些自己帮助自己的人。或“自助者天助之”。

Money is the root of all evil．金钱是万恶之源。

An empty sack cannot stand upright．空袋立不直。

Do as you would be done by. 以你所期望的别人待你的方式待人。

这与另一谚语： Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.“己所不欲勿施于人”很相似。

Money talks.钱能通神。

有些英语谚语常常采用对称的修辞手段。使用这一修辞手段的目的在于加强语势，宜于说理，读后有心悦诚眼之感。汉译这些谚语时，应适当注意保持其修辞色彩，以便体现原文的表达方式。如：

You may take a horse to the water， but you can’t make it drink．

如果按字面译成，“你可以把马牵到河边去，但不能叫它饮水”至少是没有充分体现这句谚语本身所具有的强烈对比色彩。从语法分析的观点看，在这个句子里，情态动词may和can虽然都表示“可能”的，但在含义上有所不同。这里may表示“事实上的可能性”，而can则表示“逻辑上的可能性”。并列连词but使前后两个分句意义相反，对比色彩强烈。在这种情况下，译文也必须力求对偶整齐，前后呼应，形成对照。如将此句译作“牵马河边易，逼它饮水难”或“老牛不喝水，不能强按头”会更好些。

总之，即使像谚语这样孤立的语句，翻译时也需尽一番揣摩切磋之功，否则译文就可能与原文“貌合神离”，文不达意。译事艰辛也许正在于此。
