A pair of brothers received a letter which gave him a million pounds.

It turned out that the brothers made a bet, bet if a poor, honest man fall from the sky received one million pounds, he will have what results?

Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove the money was his own, someone else will be suspected, even banks will not allow him to save money.

Brother believes that he will very well, so they brothers will check for one million pounds lent the poor, and abroad spent thirty days.

I did not expect at this time, people who suddenly rich riches rare, hard to actually draw him from the free food, buy clothes, to free accommodation, one by one like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social position, until the outdoor addition to the king on top of Duke!

Not only that, he got a good wife and thirty thousand pounds of bank interest.Since then lived very, very happy life.

See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" the hero, but I want to: The reason why people please him, not because it was too much focus on money yet?

Worship of money is shameful, something for nothing we should not!

Money is not everything in the world there are many more important things than money.

Article on the "money is everything" "Money is omnipotent," the idea for a satire and expose the ugly face of capitalist society and the rule of darkness.

参考译文:

一对兄弟收到了一封信,给了他一百万英镑

原来兄弟打赌,赌如果一个贫穷、诚实的人从天空坠落收到一百万英镑,他会有什么结果?

哥哥,他会饿死,因为他无法证明这些钱是他自己的,别人会怀疑,甚至银行不会允许他省钱。

哥哥认为他会很好,所以他们兄弟将一百万英镑的支票借给穷人,和国外花了三十天。

我没有想到在这个时候,突然间丰富的财富的人罕见,很难真正吸引他从免费食物,买衣服,到免费住宿,一个个像乞丐一样,喜欢取悦他,并不断提高他的社会地位,直到室外除了国王公爵之上!

不仅如此,他有一个好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息。自那以后生活非常幸福的生活。

看到这儿,我很羡慕“幸运”的主人公,但我想:为什么人们请他,不是因为它太注重钱了吗?

敬拜的钱是可耻的,不劳而获我们不应该!

钱不是万能的世界上有许多比金钱更重要的东西。

文章对“金钱就是一切”“金钱是万能的,“讽刺和揭露资本主义社会的丑恶嘴脸,和黑暗的统治。

Hi! My name is Xu Zhen. I’m 13.I’m a boy. I’m in the Class six Grade seven.

嘻嘻,英语不是很好,请多多包涵。

我,是一个活泼、爱搞恶作剧的男孩,一个还不满14岁的男孩,转眼间就上初中了。

记得13岁生日那天,我高高兴兴的在楼下和小伙伴们玩耍,一双冰冷而又有力的大手把我拽回了家,一顿唠叨:你不能再玩了,你已经长大了,已经……

难道我真的长大了吗?难道我的童年就在这唠叨声中结束了吗?

现在的我,已经背上了沉甸甸的书包,在中学里上学,随着年级的增加,学科也在一科科的增加。

我呢,在平时也喜欢搞一些恶作剧,来放松一下绷紧的脑细胞。

下课了,我和我的朋友商量好,这时,我向后瞄了一眼,嘻嘻,人不在,开始动手。于是,便把他的英语书藏起来,等他来时,他便东窜西找,翻遍了整个教室,也没有找到,最后,他便气喘吁吁问:“我的英语书呢?”我装做若无其事的样子回答:“没看见。”我又问朋友:“你看见了吗?”“没有啊!”朋友配合我说,“你再好好找找。”这时,我和朋友便在后面偷偷地笑,他又在东窜西找,当他趴下桌子下面四处寻找时,我见时机以到,便把书迅速的放到他的桌子上,当他看到英语书时,四周的同学便哈哈大笑起来。

我自从上了初中后,爸爸妈妈对我的期望越来越高,这给了我不少压力,幸好我还能放松一下,不然的话,我会无聊死的。

这就是我,一个活泼又喜欢搞恶作剧的男孩,希望你们能认识我,好了时候不早了,我驶向“题海”的船马上就要起航了!

我叫芊芊,“芊”字是形容生命力顽强,草木茂盛的样子,取自《论语》中“郁郁芊芊”这句话,可能是我的爸爸妈妈希望我能象小草那样茁壮成长,不怕任何风雨吧。今年我将迎来我的第九个儿童节。

每天一早,我总是在镜子前,拿着我的小梳子梳个小分头,有时还会湿点水,这时爸爸妈妈总会取笑我是个“小妖精”。哼,“爱美之心人皆有之”嘛!看着镜子中我的脸白净净的,眼睛虽小点,但可有精神了,唯一美中不足的就是鼻子有点塌。人家都说嘴唇薄的人能说会道,一点没错,可过去我却总把它用得不是时候,在课堂自由发挥了,为此老师常对我投来不满的目光,爸爸妈妈为此也经常责备我,但现在的我已经改掉这个坏习惯啦!而且我也充分发挥了能说会道的优点,去年我还参加过学校的“故事大王”比赛荣获三等奖呢!

我很爱笑,在任何时候我都能笑得开心,笑得痛快,笑得无所顾忌,由于我爽朗的大嗓门儿,所以我的笑声没有别的女孩子银铃般清脆,真可谓笑得惊天动地。妈妈经常要我注意个人形象,小声一点,保持可爱小女生模样,可我总是控制不了,哈哈!弥勒佛也爱笑,有道是“大肚能容,容世间难容之事;慈颜常笑,笑尽人间可笑之人”,多好的对子啊!我就是一个笑口常开,满身豪气的女孩子。

说到这,你可别以为我是一个爱傻笑的女孩子,其实,我安静的时候也很可爱的,我从小就喜爱看书,爸爸妈妈也支持我,在我四岁的时候就给我订了《婴儿画报》,据说我当时看得还挺认真的呢!在我放假的时候妈妈还经常带我去新华书店,现在我的书柜里摆满了书,有了这些图书陪伴我,让我得到了知识的滋润,也使我的课外生活更加丰富多彩。

总而言之,我对我自己还是很满意的,一个大大咧咧,朴朴实实,开朗外向的活泼的小女孩儿!

鄙人孙玮璐,年十二,目前于林州市第二实验小学读书,无不良嗜好。请各位细听鄙人介绍

我今年已经十二岁了,在林州市第二实验小学读书。爱好是读书。在我看来,世上没有什么是一本好书,一本古老的书,一本有故事的书所解决不了的。书,对于我来说,它是我生命中不可割舍的。“我们无法测量人生的长度,但我们可以增加生命的宽度。”

我还愿意背古诗词,因为我觉得一首诗,既表现了诗人写诗的背景,情感,又描述了诗人那个年代的故事。如《赠汪伦》刚开始,认为这是一首送别诗;到后来,“踏歌声”又是唐代的一种送别方式;再到后来,原来这里还有汪伦“骗”李白的故事。

我的兴趣是写作,从未难倒我,我最喜欢的题目是《我们都是追梦人》因为,我曾在课余时间写过无数这种类型文,文章,我可以信手拈来。我也会写诗,我写过宋词,写过小诗,最让我无法忘记的一句话是在我的小诗《绳》中的“我们总是爱把看似简单的问题变难,变难之后,又总自大的解开,等解不开时,我们才恍然大悟,原来,我们没有解开的能力。”

这就是我,一个不一样的我,一个全新的我,你准备好认识我了吗?

下面该说象棋了,当我觉得无聊时,就和弟弟下棋。如果打成平局,我还要再来一次。要是我赢了,我一蹦三尺高。要是我输了,我就找我的快乐宠物古筝谈(弹)心去了。

该说我的快乐宠物了,我学古筝两年半,弹的还不错,比赛中还得了二等奖呢!羡慕吗?画画就不说了。

篇20:英语介绍樱花

全文共 3231 字

+ 加入清单

Sakura is the Japanese name for ornamental cherry trees, Prunus serrulata, and their blossoms. Cherry fruit (known as sakuranbo) come from a different species of tree.

Sakura, a well-known and ubiquitous symbol of Japan, are represented on all manner of consumer goods, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art. There is at least one popular folk song, originally meant for the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), titled "Sakura", as well as a number of pop songs. "Sakura" is also a common Japanese female name.

Sakura is indigenous to the Himalayas and east Asia. Some trees can be found in China and Korea but the largest number and variety of sakura, more than 305 species, can be seen in Japan. Many of them were artificially hybridized or grafted by the Japanese many centuries ago.

"On the other hand, in China, cherry blossom is the symbol of feminine dominance, female beauty and sexuality. Additionally, the cherry blossom is the Chinese symbol of feminine principle and it also symbolizes love in the language of herbs. Interestingly, cherry blossom is the flower of the April in China, whereas in Japan, it is wisteria." Spring flowers of Japan

Japans most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom. The variety takes its name from the village of Somei (now part of Toshima in Tokyo). It was developed in the mid- to late-19th century at the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji period. The Somei Yoshino is so widely associated with cherry blossoms that jidaigeki and other works of fiction often depict the variety in the Edo period or earlier; such depictions are anachronisms.

Other categories include yamazakura, yaezakura, and shidarezakura. The yaezakura have large flowers, thick with rich pink petals. The shidarezakura, or weeping cherry, has branches that fall like those of a weeping willow, bearing cascades of pink flowers.

Annually, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and general public track the sakura zensen, or Cherry-Blossom Front. Nightly forecasts follow the weather segment of news programs. The blossoming begins in Okinawa in January, and typically reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April. Then it proceeds north, arriving in Hokkaidō a few weeks later. Japanese pay close attention to these forecasts. They will go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago. It is witten in Nihon Shoki that the Hanami festival were already held in the 3rd century.

Most Japanese schools and public buildings have sakura trees outside of them. Since the fiscal and school year both begin in April, in many parts of Honshū, the first day of work or school will coincide with the cherry blossom season.
