高二英语作文：铭记南京大屠杀(通用20篇)

England is a nation in northwest Europe and the largest and most populous constituent country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total population of the United Kingdom, whilst the mainland territory of England occupies most of the southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain and shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. Elsewhere, it is bordered by the North Sea, Irish Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and English Channel.

England was formed as a country during the 10th century and takes its name from the Angles — one of a number of Germanic tribes who settled in the territory during the 5th and 6th centuries. The capital city of England is London, which is the largest city in the British Isles, capital of the United Kingdom and one of the worlds Global Cities.

England ranks as one of the most influential and far-reaching centres of cultural development in the world;it is the place of origin of both the English language and the Church of England, was the historic centre of the British Empire, and the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

The Kingdom of England was an independent state until 1 May 1707, when the Acts of Union resulted in a political union with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Englands National Day is St Georges Day (Saint George being the patron saint), and it is celebrated annually on 23 April.

Happiness is dependent upon work. Sometimes we complain that we have too

much work, but we fail to realize that it’s our work that keep us moving on and

helps us to become a better man. Last summer I visited my friends in a small

village. It was obvious that working has become an indispensable part of their

daily lives. They all went to the field to plant the crops. The sun was shinning

above them and they looked quite happiness about their work. On their face there

were such smiles as I had never seen before.

Work provide us with happiness. Work is more than a necessity for human

beings. If we have no work to do, we will waste our precious time. That’s pity.

We will lose everything in the end. Work helps us to realize the importance of

life, then we will appreciate it more. Everybody who live in this society could

not live without working. If we spend every day idly, we will find life is

boring.

It was a very busy evening. I was doing my homework at my home. My father was writing a composition in the study room. My mother was interested in Shanghai opera. She was watching a Shanghai opera contest. The apartment was very quiet. Suddenly the light went out. It was a blackout, but I liked it very much. It came and I didn’t have to do my homework. We went to the living room very slowly. After 5 minutes, we all sat in the sofa. It was a lucky, fortunate day. I said that let’s held a concert. My parents agreed with me. I took out some candles and lighted up. We were singing, laughing and talking. We had a really good time. But while I was singing, the light suddenly turned on. Oh, my God. My father went back to his room went on writing. My mother turned on the TV and said to me “Dear, do your homework!” I felt very frustrated. I sat at the desk and thought I hated light. I hoped there would be a blackout the next day. I thought I would enjoy myself more and more. I went into a dream……

今晚真是个忙碌的晚上。我正在家里写作业，我爸爸正在书房里写作文。我妈妈对上海歌剧感兴趣。她正在看上海歌剧比赛。公寓非常安静。突然间断电了。一切都黑麻麻的，但是我很喜欢。断电了，我就可以不用写作业了。我们慢慢的走向起居室。五分钟后，我们都坐在沙发上。这是一个既幸运又倒霉的一天。我说让我们开个音乐会。 我父母都同意了。我拿出一些蜡烛并点燃它们。我们唱歌，大笑，聊天。我们都玩得很开心但是当我在唱歌时，灯突然亮了。哦，我的上帝啊。我爸爸继续回房间写作文。我妈妈开着电视并对我说“亲爱的，去写作业!”我觉得很沮丧。我坐在桌子边，想我恨灯光。我希望第二天还能够断电。我觉得我会越来越开心的。我陷入了梦境…………

It was already late when we set out for the next town, fifteen miles away on the other side of the hills. It got dark soon; we drove fast along the narrow winding road that led to the hills. Wecouldntidentify any sign of the town marked on the map. Suddenly the car stopped. We had run out of petrol. Therefore, although we had little food with us, we decided to spend the night in the car.

在我们动身前往下一个镇的时候已经很晚了，那个镇在山的另一边离我们十五英里远。天黑得很快;我们沿着狭窄曲折的道路往山上的方向把车开得飞快。我们在地图上找不到去那个镇的任何标志。汽车突然停了下来。我们的汽油用完了。所以，虽然我们只有一点点食物，我们还是决定在车里过夜。

Our meal finished very soon. I went to sleep at once. But my companion Bill who was a poor sleeper went for a walk up the hills. From the top of the hill he saw the lights of the town we were looking for. We unloaded all our luggage and pushed the car to the top of the hill at once. Then we went back to the luggage, loaded the car again and set off down the hill. We reached the town less than a quarter, and found a hotel quite easily.

我们的晚餐很快就吃完了。我马上去睡觉。但我的同伴比尔睡眠质量不太好所以他就到山上去散步。从山顶上他看到我们正在寻找的镇的灯光。我们马上卸下我们所有的行李，把车推到山顶。然后我们回去拿行李，把它装到车上之后就下山了。不到一刻钟我们就到达镇了，并且很快就找到一个酒店。

How an exhausting day!

多么疲惫的一天啊!

A cigarette after a meal, happy as the fairy. "The other words right, but for a long time, a cigarette for you it is not enough.

Smoking increases the risk of cancer, also can let you lungs become yellow, if is pregnant women smoke, belly child is very poor, will suffer because you smoke. Have a friend call you smoke, please say "no", not easy to accept each other, make oneself sink down. The disadvantages of smoking too much too much, smoke so expensive, how do you willing to spend money to buy? Smoke a pack a day, a year, it will all be spent a lot of yourself or for her to earn the money.

If I were you, I would put the money to buy cigarettes, over the years, you can buy more valuable items. If your boyfriend is a dazed and confused love smoking guy, please advise him not to smoke any longer, if not be persuaded, also asks you to slowly, quietly leave him. Also good smoke, smoke can let you have a lot of spirit, but it is the burden, the consequence is very serious, people stop smoking, we should also be a good happy for him.

Today smoking is a lot of, if your mom and dad, will smoke, please also advise them!!!! Secondhand smoke also is very bad.

饭后一根烟，快乐似神仙。”这句话说得没错，可是抽久了，对你来说一根烟根本是不足够的。

抽烟得到癌症的机率提高，也会让你肺部变黄黄的，如果是孕妇抽烟，肚子里的孩子很可怜，会因为你抽烟而遭殃。有朋友叫你抽烟，请一定说“不”，不要容易接受对方，使自己向下沉沦。抽烟的坏处实在太多太多了，烟那么贵，你怎么舍得花钱去买呢?一天一包，抽一年的话，就会白白花掉很多自己或爸妈赚来的血汗钱。

如果是我，我会把那些买烟的钱省下来，过了好几年，就可以买更有价值的物品了。如果你的男朋友是个年少轻狂爱抽烟的家伙，请劝劝他不要在抽下去了，如果不听劝，也请你慢慢的、默默的离开他。烟也有好处，烟可以让你很有精神，不过它造成的负担、后果很严重，戒烟的人，我们也应该好好的替他开心。

如今抽烟的人还是很多，如果你的爸爸、妈妈，也会抽烟，也请你劝劝他们吧!吸二手烟也是很不好的。

As it is known to us all, there are 55 minority groups in China, each with its traditional customs, costumes and culture. Now let’s take a look at the Tibetan Minority.

The Tibetan Minority group live in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan Province. And the highest ridge in the world─beautiful and mysterious Tibet is their major habitat .

As the fertilized prairie stretches around the habitants as far as the eyes can see, most people live on animal husbandry, raising sheep, goats, cattle and growing a special kind of plant called Qingke. On account of the unique climate, people often wear warm and comfortable boots in winter, and they are always dressed in delicate robes which are made of the fur of sheep. Often they take off one sleeve of the clothes and tie it around their waists in order to work easily and use it as warm quilts at night.

Both men and women there like wearing silver ornaments, which look very mysterious and full of magical power. And they are good at singing and dancing, and the men there can have braids too. When they meet an important guest, they will present him or her a Hada, a piece of long white silk cloth to show their respect. And they will also treat the guest to a special kind of drink called Suyou Tea, which some people find hard to enjoy.

Besides, the habitants have developed both their own written and spoken languages, and the long poems they wrote play an important role in Chinese literature. And there are many well-protected culture relics as well, taking the grand Budala Palace as an example. It is a historical museum as well as an art treasury, where people can share their spirit belief in Buddhism and get artistic entertainment of the carved paintings and the beautifully-written chirographies.

The Tibetan ethnic group is also famous for its strange custom in funeral. Thinking that the soul belongs to the sky after a person dies, they usually put the body on a platform outdoors, spray on it and wait the condors to come to eat the body. In this way, they believe the soul goes up to the sky.

The Tibetan Minority is brimming over with deep emotions. The people there are very zealous and hospitable and they live freely and happily on the spacious grassland. Their history and culture contribute to the diversity of China, so we certainly should protect them and get them popularized and let them receive great respect they deserve.

Welcome to our school!

Since we go to school, English is one of our main subjects, the government pays special attention to the English education. In the class, we have learned the grammar and sentence structure for a long time, some students are no more satisfied with what we learn in the class, they want to speak English fluently, so they can take advantage of what they learn in the class. Nowadays, English corner has be the main symbol for the English learners, most people join the corner in the weekends. Joining the English corner can enhance people’s ability of speaking English. Students have less chance to speaking in the class, but in the English corner, they can speak what they want. As there are people from all classes in the English corner, people can share their experience for each other, they can learn more from each other. If you have time, I suggest you to join the English corner.

打从我们上学，英语就成为了我们的主要科目之一，政府也格外注重英语教育。在课上，我们在很长一段时间里学习了语法和句子结构，一些学生不再满足于在课上学习到的，他们想要讲一口流利的英语，因此他们可以充分利用在课上学习到的。现在，英语角已经成为了英语学习者的主要象征，大部分人在周末参加英语角。参加英语角可以增强他们讲英语的能力。学生在课上很少有机会讲英语，但是在英语角，他们可以讲自由发话。英语角里有来自社会各界的人士，人们可以彼此交流经验，互相学习。如果你有时间，我建议你来参加英语角。

眼睛大大的，有紧急情况耳朵像飞的一样竖起来了。大家猜猜是什么？猜不到吧，就是兔子。

兔子的眼睛像红宝石一样，当然，我也给我的兔子起了一个名字叫红宝石。因为兔子的眼睛像红宝石一样亮晶晶的。

记得有一次，妈妈带我去散步，我带着我的红宝石来到了公园。红宝石想起了它多年的家，由于红宝石是在公园里长大的，但是他的爸爸妈妈却消失得无影无踪，我也知道兔子很可怜，但是我也没有找到它的亲人。兔子很快就竖起耳朵跑了起来，可能是伤心了，我追了很久才追到。

这就是我最喜欢的小动物。聪明、可爱的红宝石。

[a trip to Huad Shann高二年级英语日记

Before we read the books, the introduction will be showed ahead of the

stories’ beginning. At first, I get used to the introduction and have the main

idea of the stories. But later, as I read more books, I find the introduction is

not a good way to help readers to appreciate the charm of the stories. Usually,

the readers will get the main idea before they read the stories, because some

introduction is very specific, even the ending of the story is being told, so

readers will not feel excited and surprised in the process of reading. While if

they havent read the introduction, then every detail of the story will attract

them, because they have no idea what will happen in the next chapter. So I

advise not to read the introduction, and the unknown plot is full of

attraction.

Christmas is the most important festival in the western world. It falls on

December 25th. When my mother and I stayed in America, we were invited by one of

my mothers friends to have Christmas with an American family. We bought some

presents for our American friends on our way to their house.They had prepared

different kinds of gifts for their family and guests when we got to their house,

such as Christmas candles, cakes, cards, little toys, biscuits and so on. A

Christmas tree was placed in the comer of the brilliant hall. How beautiful it

was! We were impressed by these. We had a big meal. After dinner, they told us

some interesting stories about Christmas. We learned that Christmas had

something to do with God. We went to bed at midnight. Though we knew the Santa

Claus was not true, we were still waiting for the Santa Claus with white beard

to bring us presents.And we received many beautiful presents the next

morning.This Christmas was really unforgettable. Not only did I have a good

time, but also I knew something about foreign culture.

我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光! 我们仿佛身处一次横贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中! 乘着火车， 我们领略着窗外流动的景色：附近高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、平原与山谷、群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓， 以及乡间的庄园宅第!

but uppermost in our minds is the final destination. on a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. bands will be playing and flags waving. once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. how restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

"when we reach the station, that will be it! "we cry. "when im 18. ""when i buy a new 450sl mercedes benz! ""when i put the last kid through college. ""when i have paid off the mortgage!""when i get a promotion.""when i reach the age of retirement, i shall live happily ever after! "

然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地! 在某一天的某一时刻， 我们将会抵达进站! 迎接我们的将是乐队和飘舞的彩旗! 一旦到了那儿， 多少美梦将成为现实， 我们的生活也将变得完整， 如同一块理好了的拼图! 可是我们现在在过道里不耐烦地踱来踱去， 咒骂火车的拖拖拉拉! 我们期待着， 期待着， 期待着火车进站的那一刻!

"当我们到站的时候， 一切就都好了! "我们呼喊着! "当我18岁的时候! ""当我有了一辆新450sl奔驰的时候! ""当我供最小的孩子念完大学的时候! ""当我偿清贷款的时候! ""当我官升高任的时候! ""当我到了退休的时候， 就可以从此过上幸福的生活啦! "

sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. the true joy of life is the trip. the station is only a dream. it constantly outdistances us.

"relish the moment "is a good motto, especially when coupled with psalm 118：24："this is the day which the lord hath made;we will rejoice and be glad in it. "it isnt the burdens of today that drive men mad. it is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站， 也没有能够"一到永逸"的地方!生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程， 而车站不过是个梦， 它始终遥遥领先于我们!

"享受现在"是句很好的箴言， 尤其是当它与《圣经·诗篇》中第118页24行的一段话相映衬的时候， 更是如此："今日乃主所创造;生活在今日我们将欢欣、高兴! "真正令人发疯的不是今日的负担， 而是对昨日的悔恨及对明日的恐惧! 悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼， 将今天从你我身边偷走!

so stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. in stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. life must be lived as we go along. the station will come soon enough.

那么就不要在过道里徘徊吧， 别老惦记着你离车站还有多远! 何不换一种活法， 将更多的高山攀爬， 多吃点儿冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴， 经常光着脚板儿溜达溜达， 在更多的河流里畅游， 多看看夕阳西下， 多点欢笑哈哈， 少让泪水滴答! 生活得一边过一边瞧! 车站就会很快到达!

Mother remarried again， and Bob was a wonderful， kind man. I was twenty now

and no longer living at home， but I felt a great love and attachment for him. A

few years later my mother was diagnosed with cancer and was not given long to

live. Shortly before she died， Bob came over to my house alone one day. We

talked about a lot of things， and then he told me that he wanted me to know that

he‘d always be there for me， even after Mother was gone. Then he asked if he

could adopt me.

I could hardly believe my ears. Tears streamed down my face. He wanted me -

me! This man had no obligation to me， but he was reaching out from his heart，

and I accepted. During the adoption proceedings， the judge commented on all the

undesirable duties of his profession and then with a tear in his eye， thanked us

for brightening his day as he pronounced us father and daughter. I was

twenty-five， but I was his little girl.

I always think there is not enough time. For example， I have just taken a

three-day holiday. But when I look back， I just feel that it‘s only one day.

There goes a proverb， “Time is money”。 Now I want to say， time is more precious

than money， because when money is spent， we can earn some more again. However，

when time is gone or lost， never will it return.

Time goes without being noticed. The time for our study and work is usually

limited. So I think we must make full use of our time. But it‘s a pity that I am

always not aware of the importance of time until it’s too late.

So I think， I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting

time is equal to wasting one‘s life. Do not put off what can be done today till

tomorrow!

Sir, it so happened that I was on my way home and noticed who were around

and what they were doing. A man in a dark suit was walking out of the door, with

an umbrella in his hand. A man was sweeping near the telephone booth. A woman

and her child were crossing the road. There was a basket on the womans right

arm. A man with a cap was on a ladder,cleaning the wall. A man was reading under

the tree. In the telephone booth, a girl was making a call. By the side of the

street, I found a black car parked there with a door open. In the car there were

two persons. The driver was sitting in the front, and the passenger was in the

back.

Sir, it so happened that I was on my way home and noticed who were around

and what they were doing. A man in black was standing by the door, with an

umbrella in his hand. A man with a cap was wiping the wall on a ladder. Under

the tree there was a man reading a newspaper. A black car was parked by the side

of the road with a door open. There was a driver sitting in the front and a

was carrying a basket on the arm. On the other side of the load, a man was

i never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you are a miracle." to me, i was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. i was a 19-year-old student at the university of texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

我从未觉得自己与众不同，但人们常对我说：“你的生命是个奇迹。”对我而言，我只是一个普通人，有着现实的目标和远大的理想。我曾是德克萨斯大学一名十九岁的大学生，在通向理想之路上信步前行，梦想有一天我会成为一名整形外科医生。

on the night of february 17, 1981 i was studying for an organic chemistry test at the library with sharon, my girlfriend of three years. sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late. we got into my car, not realizing that just getting into a car would never quite be the same for me again. i quickly noticed that my gas gauge was registered on empty so i pulled into a nearby convenience store to buy 2.00 worth of gas. "ill be back in two minutes," i yelled at sharon as i closed the door. but instead, those two minutes changed my life forever.

1981年2月17日的晚上，我和交往三年的女友沙伦在为有机化学测试做准备。因为太晚了，沙伦叫我驾车把她送回宿舍。我们钻进汽车，谁能想到在今后的生命中我不能再如此矫健地重复这样一个简单的动作。我很快发现油表空了，于是我把车泊在附近的一家便利店旁，想买两块钱的汽油。“我两分钟就回来，”我关上车门朝沙伦喊到。但就是这短短的两分钟改变了我一生的命运，永远地改变了。

entering the convenience store was like entering the twilight zone. on the outside i was a healthy, athletic, pre-med student, but on the inside i was just another statistic of a violent crime. i thought i was entering an empty store, but suddenly i realized it was not empty at all. three robbers were in the process of committing a robbery and my entrance into the store caught them by surprise. one of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head -- execution style. he obviously thought i was dead because he did not shoot me again. the trio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.

进入这家便利店就如同踏上了阴阳间的奈何桥，门外的我还是个健康的，活蹦乱跳的未婚大学生，而门内的我却成了暴力犯罪的又一个牺牲品。我还以为店里没有人，但我突然发现我错了——有三个匪徒正在打劫这家店，而我的进入让他们有些惊慌失措。其中一个匪徒迅速掏出一把口径为38毫米的手枪用力指着我的头，勒令我走到冷冻机旁，然后把我推倒在地，像执行死刑般从后面朝我头部开了一枪。他没再朝我开第二枪，显然他以为我死了。打劫完后三个劫匪逃之夭夭。

meanwhile, sharon wondered why i had not returned. after seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as i was the last person she saw entering the store. she quickly went inside to look for me, but saw no one-only an almost empty cash register containing one check and several pennies. quickly she ran down each aisle shouting, "mike, mike!"

与此同时，沙伦对我的不归忧心忡忡。看到这三个匪徒离开便利店后她真的很担心，因为我是她见到的最后一个进入店里的人。她赶快跑进店来找我，只见几乎被一扫而空的收银机上挂着一张帐单，还有几枚硬币散落在上面，四周无人。她在货架间飞快地跑着、喊着：“迈克，迈克!”

just then the attendant appeared from the back of the store shouting, "lady, get down on the floor. ive just been robbed and shot at!"

这时一名服务员从店后面走出来叫到：“小姐，过来一下，我刚才被打劫了，他们还向我开了枪。”

sharon quickly dropped to the floor screaming, "have you seen my boyfriend? he has auburn hair." the man did not reply but went back to the cooler where he found me choking on my vomit. the attendant quickly cleaned my mouth and then called for the police and an ambulance.

沙伦跌跌撞撞地过来哭喊到：“你见到我的男朋友了吗?长褐色头发的。” 那人默默走到冷冻机旁，找到了我，此时呕吐快令到我窒息了。他赶忙帮我擦干了嘴，叫了警察和救护车。

sharon was in shock. she was beginning to understand that i was hurt, but she could not begin to comprehend or imagine the severity of my injury.

沙伦被吓坏了。渐渐地她才明白我受伤了，但是她根本想象不到伤势的严重性。

when the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think i would survive and the paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. at 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in houston, were awakened by a telephone call from brackenridge hospital advising them to come to austin as soon as possible for they feared i would not make it through the night.

警察来了，他们很快断定是杀人案，因为没人相信我还能活过来，而救护人员说她从来没有见过伤势如此严重的人可以逃离死劫。下午一点半，我住在奥斯汀的父母被来自布莱肯瑞吉医院的电话铃惊醒，医院通知他们尽快赶到奥斯汀，因为他们认为我熬不过当晚了。

but i did make it through the night and early in the morning the neurosurgeon decided to operate. however, he quickly informed my family and sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. if this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if i beat the odds and survived. he said i probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.

但那晚我挺了过来，第二天清晨神经外科医生决定给我动手术。但他立即告知我的家人和沙伦我存活的机会只有百分之四十。然后他还雪上加霜地告诉我的家人，向他们描述如果我万幸活下来将面临怎样的生活——我可能再也不会走路了，不会说话了，甚至不能理解一些极其简单的命令。这些对我的家人来说都是莫大的打击。

my family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that i would ever again be a productive member of society. but once again i beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery. granted, i still could not talk, my entire right side was paralyzed and many people thought i could not understand, but at least i was stable. after one week in a private room the doctors felt i had improved enough to be transferred by jet ambulance to del oro rehabilitation hospital in houston.

本来家里人祈望能从医生的口中听到一点点鼓励的话，而他悲观的言语让他们没理由相信我还会成为一个对社会有用的人。在经历了三个半小时的手术之后，我再次侥幸地活了下来。医生的话得到了应验，我不能说话，整个右边的身体瘫痪了，许多人认为我变傻了，但至少我身体状况是稳定的。在私人看护病房里呆了一个星期后，医生觉得我已经好转了许多，并可以坐救护飞机转到奥斯汀的德欧洛康复医院。

my hallucinations, coupled with my physical problems, made my prognosis still very bleak. however, as time passed my mind began to clear and approximately six weeks later my right leg began to move ever so slightly. within seven weeks my right arm slowly began to move and at eight weeks i uttered my first few words. my speech was extremely difficult and slow in the beginning, but at least it was a beginning. i was starting to look forward to each new day to see how far i would progress. but just as i thought my life was finally looking brighter i was tested by the hospital euro-psychologist. she explained to me that judging from my test results she believed that i should not focus on returning to college but that it would be better to set more "realistic goals."

意识上的幻觉和生理上的病疾使我的病情预断非常的渺茫。然而时间的飞逝使我的意识开始变得清晰，大约六个星期以后我的右腿可以轻微地活动了，七周以后我的右臂开始缓慢地活动了，八周以后我终于开口说话了。说话对于我非常地艰难并且开始的时候说得很慢，但是总算是开头了。我开始寄希望于新的一天的到来，祈望着新的进步。但正当我以为生活总算初露光明的时候，医院里有个欧洲来的心理学家对我做了测试。她向我解释到，从检测的结果来看她坚信我不能再重返学校，劝我对此不要抱有任何希望，希望我最好树立些更现实点的目标。

upon hearing her evaluation i became furious for i thought, "who is she to tell me what i can or cannot do. she does not even know me. i am a very determined and stubborn person!" i believe it was at that very moment that i decided i would somehow, someday return to college.

她的这番结论让我怒不可遏，“她是谁，凭什么告诉我能做什么或不能做什么。她根本不了解我。我是很坚强而固执的人!”我相信就在那时我决定无论如何，总有一天我会返回学校的。

it took me a long time and a lot of hard work but i finally returned to the university of texas in the fall of 1983 -- a year and a half after almost dying. the next few years in austin were very difficult for me, but i truly believe that in order to see beauty in life you have to experience some unpleasantness. maybe i have experienced too much unpleasantness, but i believe in living each day to the fullest, and doing the very best i can. and each new day was very busy and very full, for besides attending classes at the university i underwent therapy three to five days each week at brackenridge hospital. if this were not enough i flew to houston every other weekend to work with tom williams, a trainer and executive who had worked for many colleges and professional teams and also had helped many injured athletes, such as earl campbell and eric dickerson. through tom i learned: "nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit."

在经历了一年半垂死挣扎的生活后，在漫长的等待和艰辛的付出后，终于在1983年的秋天，我返回了德克萨斯大学。在奥斯汀接下来的几年里我生活得非常艰难，但我确信为了看到生活中的真善美你必须要经历一些苦难。也许我经历的苦难太多了，但我有一个信念——充实地过每一天，尽力做到最好。日子过的很繁忙、很充实，除了读书，每周我还在要在布莱肯瑞吉医院接受三到五次的治疗。如果这还不够忙的话，我还要隔周和汤姆·威廉斯飞到奥斯汀工作。汤姆是一个教练兼主管，他曾效力于许多大学校队和职业联队，并帮助过许多受伤的运动员，如：厄尔·坎贝尔和艾立克·迪克森。从汤姆的身上我学到“没有什么是不可能的，千万千万不要放弃，永不放弃。”

early, during my therapy, my father kept repeating to me one of his favorite sayings. i have repeated it almost every day since being hurt: "mile by mile its a trial; yard by yard its hard; but inch by inch its a cinch."

早在我接受治疗的时候，父亲总是重复他最爱的那句话，每天当我感到痛苦的时候我也对自己重复那句话，那就是“脚踏实地，切勿急功近利。”

i thought of those words, and i thought of tom, my family and sharon who believed so strongly in me as i climbed the steps to receive my diploma from the dean of liberal arts at the university of texas on that bright sunny afternoon in june of 1986. excitement and pride filled my heart as i heard the dean announce that i had graduated with "highest honors", been elected to phi beta kappa, and been chosen as one of 12 deans distinguished graduates out of 1600 in the college of liberal arts. the overwhelming emotions and feelings that i experienced at that very moment, when most of the audience gave me a standing ovation, i felt would never again be matched in my life-not even when i graduated with a masters degree in social work and not even when i became employed full time at the texas pain and stress center. but i was wrong!

1986年六月那个阳光明媚的午后，当我步履蹒跚地走上德克萨斯大学迪安文学院的台阶接受文凭的时候，我思索着这些话，想到汤姆、父母还有沙伦，他们都那么坚定地给予了我信任。当我听到院长宣布我以最高荣誉毕业时，我的心中充满了骄傲和自信。接着他还宣布我被选入美国大学优等生荣誉学会，并在1600名毕业生中当选为12名迪安文学院的杰出毕业生之一。当场有许多观众站起来为我鼓掌，那一刻令我心潮澎湃、百感交集。我甚至觉得生命中不可能再经历那样的感慨和激情，这种想法一直延续到我获得社会学的硕士学位，成为德克萨斯止痛减压中心的一名全职工作人员。但幸运之神再次眷顾了我!

on may 24, 1987, i realized that nothing could ever match the joy i felt as sharon and i were married. sharon, my high school sweetheart of nine years, had always stood by me, through good and bad times. to me, sharon is my miracle, my diamond in a world filled with problems, hurt, and pain. it was sharon who dropped out of school when i was hurt so that she could constantly be at my side. she never wavered or gave up on me. it was her faith and love that pulled me through so many dark days. while other nineteen year old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, sharon devoted her life to my recovery. that, to me, is the true definition of love. after our beautiful wedding i continued working part time at the pain center and completed my work for a masters degree. we were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned sharon was pregnant.

1987年5月24日，我觉得再没有什么能与此时的快乐相提并论，我和沙伦结婚了。沙伦是我高中时代的女友，风风雨雨九年来，她一直陪在我身旁。对我来说，她是我的奇迹，是我在这个充满困惑和伤痛的世界上拥有的一颗钻石。为了能日夜守侯在我的身旁，沙伦在我受伤的时候放弃了学业。她的爱从未动摇过，她从未抛弃过我。是她的忠诚和爱伴着我度过了无数个黑暗的日子。当别的十九岁的女孩子参加舞会、享受生活的时候，沙伦把青春献给了病床上的我，等待我的康复。对我来说，这就是爱的真谛。在那个美满的婚礼之后，我继续在止痛中心做着兼职的工作，并获得了我的硕士学位。我们非常的幸福，而沙伦怀孕的消息更让我们恩爱有加。

on july 11, 1990 at 12:15 a.m. sharon woke me with the news: "we need to go to the hospital… my water just broke." i couldnt help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date "7-11" we were about to bring a new life into this world. this time it was my turn to help sharon as she had helped me over those past years. she was in labor for 15 hours. at 3:10 p.m. sharon and i experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, shawn elyse segal! tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. we anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes take in the world about her. it was truly a beautiful picture that was etched in my mind forever as she lie in her mothers waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. at that moment i thanked god for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all-shawn elyse segal.

1990年7月11日12点15分，沙伦把我从梦中唤醒：“我们得去医院了……我羊水破了。”我忍不住想命运真让人啼笑皆非，它几乎让我在那家便利店里丢了性命，而在一个命名为“7·11”的日子里它却让我迎来新生命的出世。多年来沙伦帮我度过了一次又一次难关，这次该我来帮助她了。沙伦经历了15个小时的分娩。在3点10分的时候，沙伦和我一起迎来了我们美丽的女儿——萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。当我看到美丽的女儿健康地来到这个世上，喜悦和幸福化作泪水夺眶而出。我们迫不及待地数着她的十个手指和十只脚趾，看着她大大的眼睛注视着她的世界。初生的婴儿躺在妈妈柔软的怀里如一副优美的图画将永驻我的心中。那一刻，我感谢上帝赐予我们如此最伟大的奇迹——我的萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。

Iraq is a part of the Middle East next to Iran & Kuwait. It is very

important to the rest of the world because of its underground petroleum

fields.

It is said that oil is industrial blood and for this reason perhaps the war

started.

On September 11,2001,the Twin Towers in New York as well as parts of the

Pentagon were destroyed by an airplane planned by terrorists, which made George

Bush declared to fight the country’s enemies.It was said that Iraq still

possessed many weapons of mass destruction and weapon inspectors were sent to

the country by the UN to find the clues.Though no evidence was found, America

still wanted to go to war with Iraq and the main target is Sadam Hussein. The

war was just like the quiet battle between France and China in 1800s.It was said

that a relation of Sadam betrayed him.

I think war is not just a matter of two persons or two-family fight. It is

related to so many victims’ inrerests . As a leader, one must always think for

al

the people, so will his country be prosperous for always.

Human, science and nature, the three phase was quoted rates are inseparable. The wonders of nature, a little thing, through the baptism of the time, and meticulous observation, often can give a person with enlightenment.

Vast forests, sunshine give plants grace, to be able to get the nutrients and thrive. Such as the morning sun open the eyes of animals, everything is ready. Squirrels, squirrel, embarks from the house, looking for full sweet red pine nuts, all kinds of plant seeds and slowly by seeding them to other places. While the weasel feed on smaller herbivores, sable and then ate the weasel... As if people eat the big fish, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat plankton, interlocking between RACES, interdependence restricts each other.

Foreign scientists have done an experiment: introduce the sheep in a rare nature reserve, where the bamiyan, natural environment is superior, and there is special personnel to the group of kids to their natural enemies, Wolf, moved to another place. So the sheep started in the breeding. Until grass and low shrubs are eaten, the number of sheep instead of less. Because they live too comfortable, there is no enemy attack, the number that is too carefree life let their constitution also fell. Then the scientists tried to introduce wolves again. The result is in the relationship between predator and prey, good robust species to survive, wolves eat sick defect part. Natural selection and evolution, has been the nature and even the survival of human society the same criteria.

Cut down some trees, is to destroy a part of birds and insects; Killing of bees, small fish, can also cause cannot spread pollen, fish cannot reproduce problem... Sabotaged a part of the food chain, will bring ill-defined disaster. Because in front of the natural fair, each species, each independent individual organisms is so beautiful and full of value.

Because of the diversity of species and colorful nature. Want to live in harmony with her and get the kind of treatment, will be good to nature, to understand the nature, and have good at discovering and innovative mind.

人类、科学、自然，这三者相生相息密不可分。大自然的奇妙之处在于：一件小小的事物，经过时间的洗礼以及细致入微的观察，往往能给人以启示。

广袤的森林中，阳光雨露给予植物恩泽，使其能够得到养料然后茁壮成长。等清晨的阳光掀开动物们的眼睛，一切也准备好了。松鼠、灰鼠从居所里出发，寻找饱满香甜的红松子，各种植物的种子于是慢慢的被他们带到其他的地方落地生根。而此时黄鼠狼以体型较小的草食动物为食，紫貂继而吃掉了黄鼠狼……就好像人吃大鱼，大鱼吃小鱼，小鱼吃虾米，虾米又吃浮游生物一样，各种族之间环环相扣，相互依存相互制约着。

外国的科学家曾做过一个实验：将一种稀有的羊引进自然保护区，那里水草丰美，自然环境优越，并且还有专门的人员为这群天之骄子将她们的天敌——狼，迁往另外的地方。于是羊群开始在此生息繁衍。直到草和低矮的灌木被吃光了，羊群的数量反而越来越少。原来是因为它们生活的太过安逸，没有天敌进犯，数量过于膨胀，太过悠闲的生活让它们的体质也下降了。后来科学家们尝试着再一次引进狼群。结果是在捕食者与猎物的关系中，健壮优良的品种得以存活，狼群则吃掉病弱残疾的部分。物竞天择，优胜劣汰，一直都是自然界乃至人类社会不变的生存准则。

砍掉了某种树林，就等于灭绝了一部分鸟类、昆虫;捕杀蜜蜂、幼小鱼类，也会造成花粉无法传播，鱼群无法繁衍的问题……大肆破坏生物链中的某一环，都会带来难以言说的灾难。因为在公平的自然面前，每个物种，每个独立的生物个体都是如此的美丽而富有价值。

大自然因为物种的多样性而五彩缤纷。想要与她和谐相处并得到其慈祥的对待，就要善待自然，了解自然，并拥有一刻善于发现与创新的心。
