这是我应该做的英语地道表达【精选20篇】

When pigs fly

猪可不能飞起来!这是不可能的事，因此正是成语本身想表达的意思。例如，当你听到有人说，"Do you think Mary will quit her job now that shes pregnant?"另一个人就回答，"Yeah, when pigs fly! There is no way she is giving up her career!"当他或她在使用表达方式 when pigs fly时，意思是Mary绝对不可能辞职。

Get in someones hair

如果你get in someones hair，你并没有爬到别人的头上!其实，意思是你烦扰到了他们-可能是你侵入了他们的私人空间。例如"Susan was trying to prepare dinner, but her children were getting in her hair!" 意思是Susan的孩子们在她做饭的时候烦她。如果有人烦扰到了你，你就可以说，"Get out of my hair!"

Hit the ceiling

天花板可离我们的头远着呢，那么要撞上天花板也不是件容易的事-除非你非常生气!如果有人hits the ceiling意思是他们正表现出非常生气的样子。例如，"When Carols son got an F on his report card, she hit the ceiling!"意思是Carol对她儿子考试不及格非常的愤怒。

Knock someones socks off

现在，要pull掉别人的袜子还有些可能-但是要knock掉别人的袜子要该怎么做呢?当然是通过让他们惊奇兴奋并印象深刻喽!例如，"You should see Toms new car! Itll knock your socks off, its so amazing!"意思是Tom的车令人称奇!

Bite the bullet

如果要试着咬一颗子弹味道会是怎样呢?不太好吧。那么为什么会有人bite the bullet呢?只有在勇敢的忍受或面对困难的处境时他们才会这么做。例如"She had to bite the bullet and give in to her bosss unreasonable demands."意思是她在老板提出苛刻要求时表现的勇敢坚强。

Drive someone up a wallpigs

车是不能开到墙上去的，那么谁能drive you up a wall?是惹你讨厌的人!例如，"My mom is driving me up a wall! She wont ever let me stay out late."意思是母亲不让我在外面呆得晚让我感到非常的讨厌。

What are you going to do when you grow up? When I was a child, people often asked me this question about the ideal. Undoubtedly, every individual, especially a young person, should have an ideal. Hardly can we find any great people we know ideal when they were young.

An ideal is a vital importance to ones growth and success. On the one hand, an ideal is the target of ones life. Once you decide what your ideal is, you know where to go, and which way to take. Otherwise, you might become puzzled in many things in your life. On the other hand, an ideal is like the engine of vehicles. Only when we have our own ideals, can we find the origin of energy and enthusiasm in life, and become active and perseverant. Whatever your ideal is, careful plan and preparation is vital to its realization. Of course, the path from where you are to where you want to get is not always smooth and straight. Therefore, an optimistic, positive mind is indispensable in the process of your persevering your ideal.

In a word, only if you have an ideal, you will have the chance of realizing it.

课本该循环使用吗?

当开学的时候，学生需要开始他们的新学期，他们做的第一件事情就是买课本，大部分学生会买新的课本，然而一些学生选择买二手书，这变得越来越流行。课本循 环使用，这是好的，这能节省资源和减少废物，给后代留下更多的资源。而且，这也省下学生很多钱。学生可以低价买下二手书，他们的书本只用一个学期，看完后 就会变得无用了，所以对他们来说没必要花那么多的钱在暂时性的书本。

Today, more and more young people are crazy about western festivals. When western festivals come, they usually go to restaurants or shopping malls to have fun.

如今，越来越多的年轻人都对西方的节日着迷。当西方节日到来的时候，他们常常去餐厅或是商场娱乐。

Why do the young enjoy western festivals so much? Since they worship everything new, and they can’t resist the temptation. In their opinions, western festivals symbolize the fashion, while our Chinese traditional festivals are out of date. No wonder we always feel so boring during our traditional holidays. If we still turn a blind eye to our traditional festivals, our culture and civilization will disappear someday. Accordingly, it is high time for us to pay close attention to our Chinese festivals.

为什么年轻人这么喜爱西方节日呢?大抵是因为他们喜爱新鲜事物，抗拒不了诱惑。在他们看来，西方节日代表着时尚，而中国传统节日则太土了。这也难怪我们也觉得我们的传统节日太过无聊了。如果我们对传统节日漠然置之，那么某天我们的文化文明终会消失。因此，我们该多多关注我们中国自己的节日了。

As a Chinese, we have the obligation to protect our culture and custom. So I think we should celebrate our Chinese festivals by doing some traditional activities. As for western festivals, we needn’t to be too excited about them. We can just send our best wishes to our best friends during those festivals.

作为一名中国人，我们有责任保护自己的文化习俗。所以我认为应当在庆祝中国传统节日时候举办一些传统活动。而对于西方节日，我们不需要太过激动。在这些节日里我们应该只需简单的送上祝福就好。

Actions for a Greener Earth

A week before Earth Day, posters were put up around our school, calling upon us to join in the actions for a greener earth.

Our class came up with the idea to make better use of used materials. We brought to our classroom worn-out clothes, pieces of cardboard and empty plastic bottles, and turned those into dolls, handbags, issue boxes and small vases. That weekend, we went to a nearby neighborhood and gave them away to the people there. Everyone was very happy with those unexpected gifts, especially little kids and elderly people. We did so well that we were invited to share our idea and experience with all the students of our school.

We are very proud of ourselves and believe we can do more for a better world.

Directions: Write an English composition in 120–150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.

假设你是中华中学学生姚平，最近参加了一项研究性学习调研，课题为“父母是否以子女为荣”。通过调研你校学生及其父母，结果发现双方对此问题的看法有差异（数据如图所示）。根据图表写一份报告，在报告中，你必须：

描述调研数据；

分析可能导致这一结果的原因。

One Possible Version 1（上海新东方）

A recent survey has been conducted on whether parents feel honored about their children in Zhonghua School. What is symbolically depicted in the bar chart above is that 80% parents regard their children as pride, while, to our surprise, only 60 in every hundred students hold the same viewpoint.

Such a striking contrast is there between the two perspectives that it reveals a common phenomenon. Parents and children hold different attitudes towards the issue. From where I am standing, two reasons are responsible for the finding.

First and foremost, with the increasingly fierce competition, teenagers are prone to suffering from the sense of inferiority. What additionally frustrates the children is peer pressure from parents. Chances are that the adults are inclined to gossip and compare with other friends about the academic performance of their children.

Apart from it, a lack of communication between parents and children is also a key factor contributing to the difference. Proud as parents feel of their children, they

中国民间有“官三民四船五”的传统，官家的小年是腊月二十三，百姓家是腊月二十四，水上人家则是腊月二十五。我们北方地区的习俗是腊月二十三过小年，小年这一天是中国整个农历春节庆祝活动的开始和伏笔。

由于外国人不过小年，所以在英文中确实没有小年的准确词汇或释义，多数都是中国人来进行定义和描述的短语或翻译，孰优孰劣还需要您来分析了。

1.【xiǎo nián】

这就是音译了，看来这应该是最准确的翻译了，汉语拼音，哈哈。

2.【off year】

这一解释出于《汉英大辞典》，off year是目前使用最普遍的翻译，但是这个翻译却并不贴切，因为off year在英文解释中表示“非大选年”的意思，被中国人转义为“小年”，同时off year在英文中还指果树、竹子的歉收年，所以off year的译法与我们中国小年的祭灶习俗等活动完全是风马牛不相及。

3.【a lunar year (in which the last month has 29 days)】

这一解释出于《上海译文汉英大辞典》，意思指农历腊月是小建的年份，也就是说，农历腊月只有29天，没有年三十的年份。同时《外研社汉英双语现代汉语词典》中也有类似解释。

在《汉英词典》中出现的对于小年的解释：festival on the 23rd or 24th of the 12th month of the lunar year, when sacrifices are made to the kitchen god 意思是节日，腊月二十三或二十四日，旧俗这天祭灶

小年习俗的英语翻译：

4.小年的风俗 Off-year customs

小年除了祭灶仪式外，前前后后还有许多风俗。如扫尘、贴对联、剪窗花、洗浴婚嫁等。可以说“小年”是“大年”春节的序曲，在民间人们把这段时间称之为“迎春日”。

1)扫尘 Sweeping the Dust

为了迎接灶王爷，人们清除灶灰、扫墙，俗称“扫尘”。按民间的说法：“尘”与“陈”谐音，扫尘有“除陈布新”的含义，其用意是要把一切“穷运”、“晦气”统统扫地出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。因此，到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的气氛。

2)灶王爷 The Kitchen God

小年前夕，大街小巷的杂货铺、百货摊都代卖“灶王爷”像。这种木版水印的神像，大多来自“版画之乡”——天津杨柳青。那和蔼、肃穆、善静的灶王爷盛装端坐，给人以一家之主的感觉。人们都要“请”回来一帧新的灶王爷像(不能说“买”)，来代替陈旧不堪的灶王爷像。

3)写对联 Write couplets

家家户户都开始写对联。神灵前的对联特别讲究，多为敬仰和祈福之言。佛龛神像的两侧要贴上一副对联，上联写“上天言好事”，下联写“下界保平安”或“回宫降吉祥”，横幅是“一家之主”。因为紧靠春节春联也一并写成。民间讲究有神必贴，每门必贴。内容丰富，妙语联珠。

4)剪窗花 Paper-cut for window

所有准备工作中，剪贴窗花是最盛行的民俗活动。内容有各种动物、植物等，如喜鹊登梅，燕穿桃柳，孔雀戏牡丹 ，狮子滚绣球 ，二龙戏珠，莲年有鱼，鸳鸯戏水等。

5)洗浴理发 Bath and Haircut

大人、小孩都要洗浴理发。民间有“有钱没钱，剃头过年”的说法。

6)举办婚事 Marriage held

过了二十三，民间认为诸神上了天，百无禁忌。娶媳妇不用择日子，称为赶乱婚。直至年底，举行结婚典礼的特别多。

经过小年的扫尘，处处焕然一新。新贴的春联，抬头见喜。活灵活现的门神，保佑着平安。精美的窗花、五彩的年画和花团锦簇的灯笼，无不显示着小年之后，人们喜气洋洋开始迎接除夕过大年了。

Should we help strangers

Recently,accroding to the report that is a child to help a older man who fall down.unfortunely,the older man is a bad cheater,he pretented.The report pays a lot of people attention.

There are different opinions among people as to   should we help strangers,some people suggest that is a virtue.As we all know a words said that help others is help yourself.

Another thinks that it likely would take trouble to their life.Its very dangerous.They rather than accept social critizise.

As far as I am concerned,I agree with first opinion.I believe that someone should be help with me.Whatever the social change,I still do that I think right things and never change.We help strangers,on the same time,we would potect ourself.

不知怎的，我们在母亲节那天总会看到不一样的画风，我们会在朋友圈里看到朋友对母亲的祝福，或者有人晒母亲的照片，朋友圈被各种“女生万岁”“我爱妈妈”刷屏。对此，网友们对这浓浓的亲情点赞，有人说各种晒满足自己的心理需求，朋友们评价不一，但在我看来，各种爱妈妈的方式在朋友圈里所表现的，只是他认可的行为优越感。

为什么会出现这种现象呢？很早前，互联网和朋友圈不知不觉的影响了我们，我们也坦然的接受，平时逛个街，买杯奶茶，自拍一下就成了朋友圈里的常态。于是晒自拍变成了再也正常不过的事情，晒亲妈也自然而然的出现了。但是，如果平常相对活跃而在母亲节那天动态全无，朋友是否会因为小事而探究你的人格？

另外，国人表达爱的方式是非常含蓄的，很少使用拥抱或者说出“我爱你”三个字，老外把“ILOVEYOU”时刻挂在嘴边，说出来就像“今天的天气真好”那么和谐与自然，而含蓄的国人却会在说爱的时候脸红、害羞、紧张。更悲哀的是，有的人一生都没有对父母说过“我爱你”或者拥抱在一起，受儒家文化影响的中国人在这一方面保持着出奇的一致。

我们爱吗？还是不爱？

到底是为了跟风还是为了满足自己的心理需求。我想，绝大多数都是占的第一个，网友们对爱的评价，恰恰击中了这一点，我们只看到了华丽的辞藻和让人看到照片里的人很开心的照片，却没有看到你的行动。网络是虚伪的，如果每个人表达的爱都可以在网络中得到体现，为什么不是所有人都在朋友圈里表达？

那么，除了晒，是否还会有更实际的行动呢？答案是有的，我们可以记住父母的生日，父母的爱好，没事多给父母打电话，问他们身体怎么样，回到家给他们洗次脚，揉下肩，这是不是更好呢？

我们不应该把母亲节当做秀场，到谁也不能轻视母亲节。母亲的慈祥伴随我们成长，妈妈的关爱助我们成人，母亲的眼中总有我们的身影，母亲的手中总有我的照片，母亲的心里总有我的一切，母亲早已把我们当做她的全部，我们更应该用行动去报答母亲对我们的这份爱。

The adult always warn us not to go swimming in the river.

They are afraid we will have accidents as the river has no safty measures.

So, of course, we should go to the river for swimming. It may takes our life for no reason.

It is very cruel. Sometimes we can hear the news that someone die because of swimming in the river.

If we want to swim, we can go to the swimming pool with adults. This is safe. And we can also ask a teacher to teach us. Just remember, do not go to the river to swim secretly. We should take responsibility for ourselves.

大人们总是警告我们不要要江河水库游泳。他们担心我们会发生意外，因为江河水库没有相关的安全措施。所以，我们当然不能去江河水库游泳了。这很有可能会突然就夺走我们的生命，是很残酷的。有时候我们也会听到一些新闻说有人因去江河水库游泳而丧命。如果我们想要游泳，我们可以在大人的陪同下去游泳池游泳。这样是安全的，我们也可以请教练教我们。一定要谨记，不要私自到江河水库游泳。我们要对自己负责任。

[英语作文：应不应该到江河水库游泳

There are a lot of annual public holidays in China, such as Labors Day, Childrens Day and National Day. But I think we should celebrate another holiday -- Farmers Day.

Why should there be Farmers Day?

First of all, China is a large agfieukural country. The majority of the population is farmers. Farmers play a vital role in China. They provide food, without which we cannot live. Also, farmers support industry with various kinds of raw materials.

Most farmers work hard from dawn to dusk, with little time to rest or entertain themselves.

Some people look down upon farmers because they think they do not do "mental labor."

I suggest there should be a Farmers Day to show respect for the 800 million farmers in China. This would help people realize the contributions farmers make to society and would raise their social status.

应该禁止燃放烟火Fireworks Should Be Banned

In recent years, banning fireworks in a large number of Chinese cities has aroused a heat discussion among the public. Some are against it while some are for it. As far as I am concerned, banning fireworks is necessary and advantageous.

近年来，在中国许多大城市都有禁止燃放烟花的政策，这一禁令已引起社会大众的热烈讨论。有些人支持也有人表示反对，我认为禁止燃放烟火是很有必要且有益的。

There are a few points accounting for my view. First, banning fireworks is good for keeping air quality. Setting off fireworks is one of the sources of air pollution because it will produce a lot of sulfur dioxide and other hazardous gases, which may lower air quality if they are emitted unlimitedly. Second, banning fireworks is helpful for people’s health. The hazardous gases from setting off fireworks are a potential harm for people’s health because these gases are the causes of some serious disease like respiratory diseases. Besides, fireworks are also a threat for people. The explosion of fireworks is so fast that people will be hurt without awareness. In addition, setting off fireworks will produce noise, which has a negative influence on people’s health and life.

我的理由有如下几点。首先，禁止燃放烟火有利于保证空气质量。燃放烟火是一大空气污染的来源，因为燃放烟火会释放出大量的二氧化硫和其他有害气体， 如果这些有害气体不能得到控制将降低空气质量。其次，禁放烟火有助于人们的身体健康。燃放烟火而释放出的有害气体对人们的身体健康有潜在危害，因为这些有害气体会导致人们患上严重的疾病，例如呼吸道疾病。另外，烟火还会威胁到人们的安危。烟火燃爆十分迅猛，无警觉的人们常常会受到伤害。最后，燃放烟火爆竹会产生噪音，会对人们的身体健康和日常生活带来负面影响。

For above reasons, I consider that banning fireworks is advantageous. In addition, I think that other healthy and meaningful ways of celebrating festivals should replace setting off fireworks.

综上所述，我认为禁止燃放烟火是十分有利的。此外我想应该有比燃放烟火更好、更有意义地庆贺方式。
