Dear Santa Claus,

I am writing to you only in order to fulfil the task assigned by the

school.

I know that your list of naughty children is empty, your list of good

children is empty, your life is a capital emptiness, you dont understand my

trouble.

See you later.

Im not telling you my real name.

Yesterday, the weather was good, cloudless. My father and I went to the military are playing Ski Resort. We wear gloves, hats, armed to come to the ski slopes. Ski resort built on a hillside, looking ahead, the white snow everywhere. Built on the hillside like a long white carpet. I help my father in the next, put on ski boots, foot on skis, I looked at the sloping slopes, she did not hesitate to slip down. I seem to fly up, ears only hear the sound of the wind. Soon he went to the lower slope. Time always flies in the joy of particularly fast. Seeing red is gone, we reluctantly left this lovely world of ice.

我最盼望的日子——春节终于来到了，因为在这喜庆的节日里，我们小孩子有好东西吃，有新衣服穿，有压岁钱花，有小伙伴玩？？最让我感到快乐的还是给乡亲们拜年了。

大年初一的三四点钟，我就迫不及待地催爸爸起来了。（我们这里的风俗是新年第一天有家里的男主人放开门鞭和烧团圆饭）好不容易等到喝完团圆茶后，我就找了几个方便袋迫不及待地准备出发了。妈妈开玩笑地说：“家里买了这么多好吃的，还不够你这只馋猫吃的！”唉！老妈，你怎会懂得儿子的心思呢，我这不是给乡亲们拜年，为他们送上新春祝福吗！我一溜烟跑到了村子的西头，与早已等候在那里的小伙伴汇合，便开始给乡亲们拜年了。

我首先来到了李叔叔家，李叔叔是个农民，靠种植大棚蔬菜走上了财富之路。我恭祝他：“新春万事顺！蔬菜长得旺，价格一路长！”乐得李叔叔连忙塞红包，盛情难却，只好收了。我又来到了瓦工张叔叔家，他们一家正在喝茶，我祝他们：“身体健康！万事如意，钱财如砖砌墙，越摞越高！”王阿姨听了合不拢嘴，给了我满满一捧糖果。接着我又来到了杨奶奶家，祝她老人家“身体健康，万寿无疆！越活越精神 ！ ”她一高兴竟然笑掉了假牙，我也跟着乐开了怀。就这样，我挨家挨户给乡亲们送上了新春的祝福。我的口袋里塞满了红包，带来的方便袋也都装的满满的。

拜年结束后，我和小伙伴们汇合，一起来到了徐爷爷家，徐爷爷是个老革命战士，他的四个哥哥都在抗日战争中光荣牺牲了，他也因为战争而失去了一条腿，没能成家，今年九十几岁的徐爷爷，孤苦伶仃地瘫坐在床上，我和小伙伴们给他拜完年后，将自己红包里的钱都给了他，一共有两千多元。我们还将袋子里的花生瓜子糖果分了类，放在徐爷爷的床上。徐爷爷感动得热泪盈眶，不住地感谢我们。其实我们才应该感谢徐爷爷这样的老革命战士，没有他们的抛头颅洒热血，哪有我们今天如此安定幸福的生活。

寒假结束了，庆祝春节的活动也接近了尾声，我觉得拜年是我在春节中做的最有意义的一件事。

My most anticipated day —— the Spring Festival finally came， because in this festival， we children have good food to eat， new clothes to wear， lucky money to spend， and little friends to play。 What makes me happy is to give the people a new year。

At the three or four oclock of the first day of the year， I could not wait to hurry Dad up。 Our custom is on the first day of the new year， when the owner of the family opens the door and sells the rice， so I cant wait to finish the reunion tea。 After that， I find several convenient bags and I cant wait to get ready to go。 Mom jokingly said： "the family bought so many delicious， you are not the only cat to eat！" Oh！ Mom， how can you understand the mind of the son， I dont give the people a new year to give them a new years blessing！ I went to the village of West swiftly， and had been waiting there buddy confluence， began to give folks pay New Years call。

I first came to Uncle Lis house。 Uncle Li was a farmer， and he went on the road of wealth by planting vegetables in the shed。 I wish he： "spring maestro！ The vegetables grow well and the price is long！ " Uncle Li was hastily stuffed envelopes， shengqingnanque， had received。 I went to the Mason Zhang Shushu home， they are a cup of tea， I wish them good health。 "！ Good luck in everything， money such as the brick wall， the more the higher the stack！" Aunt Wang was grinning， gave me a full of candy。 Then I went to Yang grandmother， wish her good health， a long life "！ The more alive the more spiritual！ " She was happy off teeth， I also follow the music open arms。 In this way， I sent my family from door to door to the people of the new year。 My pocket is full of red envelopes and all the handy bags are full。

After I pay New Years call， and buddies joined together at Home Xu Xu Grandpa， grandpa is an old revolutionary soldier， his four brothers are in the Anti Japanese war in the glorious sacrifice， he also because of the war and lost a leg， could not get married this year， 90 year old Xu Grandpa， lonely and helpless to sit down on the bed， and my buddies to him after， his money gave him a total of two thousand yuan。 We also classified the peanut melon candy in the bag and put it on Grandpa Xus bed。 Grandpa Xu was moved to tears and thanked us。 In fact， we should thank the old revolutionary soldiers such as Grandpa Xu， without their throwing head and blood， which has our life so stable and happy today。

The winter holiday was over， and the celebration of the Spring Festival was close to the end。 I think it was one of the most meaningful things I did during the Spring Festival。

Today is Sunday, I’s hot today. The air is fresh, the sky is blue, the cloud is white. The scene is so beautiful here. There are many trees, the trees here are green, there are many birds in the trees, singing the songs. They are very happy, we are very happy, too.

Can you guess, what day is it today? Good! That great! Today is my birthday! There are many friends at my home, they says:”Happy birthday for you!”They are very funny.

Today, I wears my favorite dress, this is white . Look at me! My hair is white, I have two big blue eyes, and a small mouth, I’m very happy!

There are many sweet food on the table, they are cock、chicken 、beef、cafe ……

What a happy day!

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.

I love my family, in this world full of love, there is a happy family of three, my father, mother and i..

My father works in the Bureau of culture. He is competent, he can fix it, he will invent small inventions, and he can cook very well. Mother works in the hospital, very hard-working, every day cleaning the house clean.

My family lives in the Jinta area, 120 square meters, Sanshierting house, the living room is green, people feel very fresh, my bedroom is pink, feel very warm, mom and dads bedroom is light purple, the feeling is very beautiful.

Although my family is not so rich, but every day I live a dull and happy day. I love my family and love my father and mother more.

北京三日游 A Three-day Tour to Beijing

Last month I went to Beijing to visit one of my friends, because we haven’t seen each other for about two years and I got a holiday meanwhile. It is my first time to visit Beijing, which is always the dream city for all the Chinese. All the information about the city came from the books and TV, now I could see and get know of it by myself, how excited I am!

上个月我去北京看望我的一个朋友，因为我们有将近两年没见，而我刚好有假期。这是我第一次游览北京，这座全中国人都向往的城市。我对北京的所以认知都来自电视和书本，而现在我有机会亲自来看这个城市、来了解她。我多么地兴奋！

There were so many tourist areas in my plan list, like Tian’anmen Square, Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Perking University and so on. However, due to my short holiday I only visit several places of my list, with my friend’s companion. I will take a long tour to Beijing next time if I have the chance.在我的旅游计划表上，我罗列许多要去的地方，如天安门广场，紫禁城，长城，北京大学等等。然而由于假期太短，朋友只陪我参观了计划表上的几个地方而已。如果有机会，我下次一定会到这来个长期旅游。

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.

Good brother,

It has been some time since I read your letter. Have seen many times, in

the mind also has a lot of words to say, but... I never knew where to start. On

this Christmas Eve night, let me start with memories.

Dude, Im not a pushy girl. In your eyes, I am the little sister in your

memory. I am the single woman who was alone in a foreign country, weak in heart

but strong to face life. At that time, I was alone in the face of difficulties

in other countries, alone for life, simply for survival and struggle. At that

time, I had to be strong. Since my childhood, I have been a happy, carefree girl

around my parents. During those years in a foreign country, stress and

loneliness made me grow up. However, I am still not strong.

Eldest brother, I have benefited a lot from the four years suffering

abroad. I have learned a lot and grown up a lot. Maybe it is gods reward for

me. After coming back to China, my career, life, smooth and peaceful for a few

years. However, I am still lonely, many times, the heart is very bitter very

bitter, as when writing this letter, alone. The tears would flow when I

remembered the things I had buried in my heart.

Brother, I, too, want company. Want to take a persons hand, walk together

after the day, face this complex world together. Just want to be a little woman,

can take a persons hand, a person can be heart to heart, from now on, no matter

what things, all to face together.

These years, and brother has been out of touch. Always remember you once

said a sentence. Friends, is in the heart, no matter how no contact, no meeting.

But in my heart, I always remember having such a friend. Your love and care has

always been in my heart. I havent talked to you in depth for a long time, so

Ill go on.

The reason I have remained alone all these years is not because of the

conditions I set for my partner. I want a person, actually very simple. Ha ha,

big brother, dont laugh at me. I just want a little love.

In this day and age, all people will tell me that nothing is more illusory

than love. But I, still stubbornly looking forward to, there is a warm, real

person can appear.

I, however, is an ordinary woman, but also just want to live an ordinary

day. Fall in love with someone, then face life with him, work hard for the

future together, raise a child together.

Several times during the blind date, the plain man sitting opposite asked

me, what do you want from the man. A house? Income? Or a car. Can face such a

problem, I always cant speak, only smile, the heart of despair and pain began

to spread...

Brother, I am just a woman with a strong exterior and a soft heart. So,

now, what kind of person do you think I should accept at the time of blind date?

Im not asking for a strong man, as you say. I just want a gentle, understand

life, know love, know how to cherish people.

Life is short. You can let yourself, and live for yourself is even shorter.

But sometimes also want to do not cooperate with their parents so unfilial, will

also think, perhaps, marriage is a can not be so selfish thing, even if it is to

comfort their parents, also should let their marriage as soon as possible.

Xi an, the city we live in now. Old and elegant. Is the home that has been

on my mind when I was a vagabond. In the next year, I will continue to live in

this city in a down-to-earth way. I hope that there will be one person who can

fall in love with each other in a down-to-earth way. This is a Wish made on

Christmas Eve.

An October Sunrise 十月的日出

I was up the next morning be fore the October sunrise, and away through the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder heavily over the edge of grey mountain and wavering length of upland. Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped, and crept to crept to the hollow places; then stole away in line and column, holding skirts, and clinging subtly at the sheltering corners where rock hung over grassland, while the brave lines of the hills came forth, one beyond other gliding.

The woods arose in folds, like drapery of awakened mountains, stately with a depth of awe, and memory of the tempests. Autumn’s mellow hand was upon them, as they owned already, touched with gold and red and olive, and their joy towards the sun was less to a bridegroom than a father.

Yet before the floating impress of the woods could clear it self, suddenly the gladsome light leaped over hill and valley, casting amber, blue, and purple, and a tint of rich red rose; according to the scene they lit on, and the curtain flung around; yet all alike dispelling fear and the cloven hoof of darkness, all on the wings of hope advancing, and proclaiming, “God is here!” then life and joy sprang reassured from every crouching hollow; every flower, and bud and bird had a fluttering sense of them; and all the flashing of God’s gaze merged into soft beneficence.

So, perhaps, shall break upon us that eternal morning, when crag and chasm shall be no more, neither hill and valley, nor great unvintaged ocean; but all things shall arise, and shine in the light of the Father’s countenance, because itself is risen.

I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late。 They will

never have the opportunity to enjoy (of enjoying) the fresh air and calmness of

the morning。 This is indeed a quite regrettable thing。To rise early is a good

habit (which) we should cultivate。 Why? Because the best time when we can pursue

our studies is in the morning。 In addition， early rising is also good to our

health。 I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early。

One day Mon said to me "I love you. son"

I was very happy that day and went to school.

6 oclock in the afternoon, i went back home.Dad was also back and there was a big cake on the table.

I asked him "why there is a cake? can i eat it?"

Dad answered "No.Mom should eat first."

"why?"I asked again.

"because its your moms birthday"

then i remembered mom said "i love you" to me in the morning.

it was moms birthday,but i didnt know that.

and she said "i love you"to me.

The dog is like a "copycat". As soon as I come back, it will "bark" ran over, lifted up front, back up and ran over, trailing behind me. Only bones and frisbee can attract its attention. But you cant carry frisbee and bones every day! For example, once I went to the interest class, and this sticky dog followed me into the classroom of interest class. The whole class laughed loudly, and I couldnt help it.

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak.With her eyes,she observed my mood,gave me courage and made me strong.Therefore,I could face difficulties.

When I was a baby learning to walk,my mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to get up while I fell down.

As I finally threw myself into her arms,her eyes smiled with praise.Later as I grew up,I met with more difficulties.But whenever I was frustrated,my mothers eyes always gave me hope and encouragement.Once I failed in exams,my mother encouraged me to find out the reasons.

Instead of blaming me she pushed me to do better.At last I overcame the difficulty.Now I have grown up and become more independent,but whenever I come across setbacks,my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

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。
