+ 加入清单People always say that we should not judge a person from his appearance. In
todays society, the mass media is like the appearance, what they report will
decide the way that people treat things. For most foreigners, before they come
to China, they dont know about this country. What they learn is from the mass
media, the worse thing is that the media always report the negative sides. So
when they come to China and realize things are much funny here. Before we make
judgment, we need to search the overall information, or it is better for us to
pay a visit. The way we treat things decides what kind of person we are.

+ 加入清单21 June 2006
Dear Mary,
Thanks for your last letter. Im so glad that you have been able (at last! ) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I wont be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.
There is a bus from the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.
To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.
When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.
Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window.
Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.
Yours sincerely,
Annie
P.S. I will leave something for breakfast in the fridge. Help yourself to anything you want.
Useful Expressions:

In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese an extra month once every few years. This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.
New Years Eve and New Years Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.

It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations

Hi, boys and girls, I am glad to be your English teacher this year. As you dont know much about me, let me first talk about myself here.
On the right you see an age-old picture of my family. Two of them have already passed away-my father and my elder (not the eldest) brother. Both of them died of cancer. my father suffered from liver cancer and was deceased in the year 1978 while my brother was killed by cancer which spread from the underside of his tongue to many other parts of his body. He left us on the 15th of April 1992 at the age of 37.
In the photo, the youngest one, sitting on the lap of the woman(my mother) was me. my younger sister was not yet born. my elder sister was seated next to my mother. She was a fat little girl at that time but now she is a middle-aged mother of two children. Her family and my mother are at present living in the U. S. A. my sister owns a Chinese-American restaurant which has been making good profits.
my eldest brother is a civil servant right now. He has been doing this job for more than 20 years. He likes this job, I guess. He has a son and a daughter. Both are working now. So, his burden as the breadwinner(one who supports the whole family) has not been so heavy recently. Thats whyhe took a trip to Beijing during the last Lunar New Year Holiday.
As for me, I am 36, a school teacher and the father of a boy and a girl who are still too young to help me in anything.
Many changes have taken place over the last 35 years and things will never be the same again. No matter whether you like your family or not, think about itsome years later they wont be around you anymore. Try your best to love and forgive them. Nobody is perfect. They deserve your love and care because they are your family. 篇二:我的家人英文优秀作文

+ 加入清单When asked about work preference, different people will give different
answers. Some people like working with people. However, others prefer jobs which
mainly involve objects or machines.
Those people who have the first preference believe working with people
usually makes one feel interesting and efficient. In addition, they maintain
people can be inspired to bring forward new ideas by communicating or consulting
with those around them. However, still others have different preferences. In
their opinions, working with objects or machines can make one enjoy more peace
and quiet. Besides, they argue, under such peaceful conditions, one can do more
practical work, improve his skill and make technical renovations.
Weighing up these two kinds of work, I prefer working with people. For one
thing, I like to cooperate with others and work in a team. For another, although
there are competition and rivalry, we can learn something from other people.
Considering these, I think, working with people is beneficial to our career
development.

I spend most of my time reading in the library, where I can open my eyes and broaden my mind.In my free time, I also join some clubs,where i can make a lot of friends of different majors.

+ 加入清单Last winter holiday, I went to shanghai with my mother.
It's very cold in winter. There is snow and ice everywhere and you are always in a white world. You must wear warm clothes. The most exciting thing is playing with snow. Skating is also very interesting there.
I will' always remember shanghai, for the snow, the ice and all the beautiful things. I love shanghai.
With the general standard of living improving and the working week becoming shorter, more and more people are able to make a holiday trip to places of interest. While many like to join package tours fro convenience, I prefer to travel on my own.
I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own, I’m my own boss; and can decide when to start on my way, where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary, in a package tour you‘re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle, you have to jump up from a sound sleep and, with heavy-lidded eyes, hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving, you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule, regardless of the weather or your health condition.
True,you may encounter inconveniences if you travel inpidually,for instance, getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.
去年寒假,我和妈妈去了上海。
冬天很冷的。世界上到处都是雪和冰,你总是在一个白色的世界里。你必须穿暖和的衣服。最令人兴奋的事情是玩雪。滑冰也很有趣。
我将永远记住上海,因为雪,冰和所有美好的事物。我爱上海

篇15:传统文化英文作文高一
全文共 1261 字
+ 加入清单Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world. This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been considered Western begins to spread throughout China. Kung Fu, especially, has had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones. Asian nations have long known about the greatness of ancient Chinese culture. Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics. Korea and Japan long ago adopted ideas such as Confucianism is something that continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture. This strength comes from the ideas given in the Four Books of Confucianism (The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, and The Book of Mencius). These books built upon the ideas of an even more ancient period codified in the Five Classics. From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts that are uniquely Chinese. China has taken steps to further this spread of its culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.
篇16:最精彩的译文英文名篇-《青春》
全文共 4178 字
+ 加入清单Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being‘s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what‘s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉意志,恢宏想
象,炙热恋情;青春是生命深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安。如此锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,,学习英语的网站,方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧烦,惶恐,丧失自信,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。
无论年届花甲,拟或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线,只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量信号,你就青春永驻,,风华常存。
一旦天线下降,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线,捕捉乐观信号,你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

篇17:愚人节英文作文
全文共 1785 字
+ 加入清单What is April Fools Day and how did it begin? Well, that is a very good question. The origin of this holiday is rather uncertain. However, the common belief holds that during the reformation of the calendar the date for the New Year was moved from April 1st to January 1st. During that time in history there was no television and no radio so word spread slowly. There were also those who chose to simply ignore the change and those who merely forgot. These people were considered "fools" and invitations to non-existent parties and other practical jokes were played on them. "All Fools‘ Day" is practiced in many parts of the world with practical jokes and sending people on a fool‘s errand.
Another thought is that the origin began with the celebrations of the Spring Equinox. While some believe it has to do the a Roman festival known as Hilaria, the end of the Celtic new year.
In Scotland, April Fools Day lasts 48 hours, day two is know as Taily Day and pranks involving the posterior are played. The victim of the practical joke is referred to as "hunting the gowk"; the gowk is an extinct cuckoo bird.
In France, he is the "poisson d‘Avril" or "fish of April." The fish in April are newly hatched and easily caught. French children enjoy taping a picture of a fish on their friends back and yelling out "Poisson dAvril!" when it is found.
Da de los Santos Inocentes is held in Spain on December 28th. This is The Feast of the Holy Innocents. It‘s celebrated similarly to April Fools‘ Day with practical jokes.
In the United States, pranks are played on just about everybody. Pranks range from the standard "Your shoe is untied", to some very creative and elaborate ideas. The only "rule" is that no one should be harmed. The best jokes are when everybody including the victim laughs.
篇18:英文谚语的汉语翻译
全文共 2554 字
+ 加入清单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。
