The Cobbler and the Banker

By La Fontaine

A cobbler passed his time in singing from morning till night;it was wonderful to see,wonderful to hear him;he was more contented in shoes,than was any of the seven sages.His neighbor,on the contrary,who was rolling in wealth,sung but little and slept less.He was a banker;when by chance he fell into a doze at day-break,the cobbler 12 awoke him with his song.The banker complained sadly that Providence had not made sleep a saleable commodity,like edibles or drinkables.

Having at length sent for the songster,he said to him,

"How much a year do you earn,Master Gregory?"

"How much a year,sir?"said the merry cobbler laughing,"I have reckon in that way,living as I do from one day to another;somehow I manage to reach the end of the year;each day brings its meal."

"Well then!How much a day do you earn,my friend?"

"Sometimes more,sometimes less;but the worst of it is,-and,without that our earnings would be very tolerable, a number of days occur in the year on which we are forbidden to work;and the curate,moreover,is constantly adding some new saint to the list.

The banker,laughing at his simplicity,said,"In the future I shall place you above want.Take this hundred crowns,preserve them carefully,and make use of them in time of need."

The cobbler fancied he beheld all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past century for the use of mankind.Returning home,he buried his money and his happiness at the same time,No more singin;he lost his voice,the moment he acquired that which is the source of so much grief.Sleep quitted his dwelling; and cares,suspicions,and false alarms took its place,All day,his eye wandered in the direction of his treasure;and at night,if some stray cat made a noise,the cat was robbing him.

At length the poor man ran to the house of his rich neighbor;"Give my back." said he,"sleep and my voice,and take your hundred crowns."

皮匠和银行家

拉.封丹

一个皮匠从早到晚在唱歌中度过。无论见到他本人或听见他的歌声都使人觉得很愉快。他对于制鞋工作比当上了希腊七圣还要满足。

于工作把他吵醒了。银行家郁郁寡欢地抱怨上帝没有睡眠也制成一种像食品或饮料那样可以买卖的商品。后来，银行家就叫人把这位 歌手请来，问道：“格列戈里师傅，你一年赚多少钱?”

“先生，你问我一年赚多少钱吗?”快乐的皮匠笑道：“我从来不算这笔帐，我是一天一天地过日子，总而言之坚持到年底，每天挣足三餐。”

“啊，朋友，那么你一天赚多少钱呢?”

“有时多一点，有时少一点;不过最糟糕的是一年中总有些日子不准我们做买卖，牧师又常常在圣徒名单上添新名字，否则我们的收入也还算不错的。”

银行家被皮匠的直率逗笑了，他说：“我要你从今以后不愁没钱用。这一百枚钱你拿去，小心放好，需要时拿来用吧。” 皮匠觉自己好像看到了过去几百年来大地为人类所需而制造出来的全部财富。他回到家中，埋藏好硬币，同时也埋葬了他的快乐。他不再唱歌了;从他得到这种痛苦的根源那一刻起，他的嗓子就哑了。睡眠与他分手;取而代之的却是担心、怀疑、虚惊。白天，他的 目光尽朝埋藏硬币的方向望;夜间，如果有只迷途的猫弄出一点声响，他就以为是有人来抢他的钱。最后，这个可怜的皮匠跑到他那富有的邻居家里说：“把你的一百枚钱拿回去，还我的睡眠和歌声来。”

Without exception,everyone has to make choices in life,whether they concern school,career,or love.While some choices are simple,one cannot avoid the task of making difficult decisions.

Choices are often directly related to ones happiness.University students,for example,face a hard and crucial decision upon graduating.Many students have difficulty deciding whether to continue studying or begin developing a career.Every individual is different,and one must take the factors of ones personal life into consideration.In addition to an awareness of specific circumstances,however,making the right choice also depends on correct appraisal of oneself.

In order to choose correctly,therefore,one must be both realistic and self aware.Furthermore,once having made a decision,one should seriously accept and pursue the path one has chosen,and strive towards the realization of ones goal with spirit.

A review of the Pursuit of Happiness

“The Pursuit of Happyness” was released on the 15th of December 2006. It is a dramatic story based on a biography of Chris Gardner’s nearly one-year struggle with homelessness. Directed by Gabrielle Muccino, the film stars Will Smith as Chris Gardner, and co-stars Jaden Smith playing Chris’ son, Christopher Jr. For Will Smith’s performance in the film, he was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Actor. The ‘different’ spelling of the title, ‘Happyness’ is seen by Chris Gardner on the building outside the play centre is son attends, which Chris reminds the owners of the building multiple times that it is spelt with an ‘I’.

The film shows us the struggles Chris Gardner has with homelessness. He is bankrupt because he invested his life savings in portable bone-density scanners, which he thought hospitals would be interested in buying, but in the end hardly any doctors wanted one, as they considered it an ‘expensive luxury’. During the struggles, his wife Linda leaves to go to New York and Chris and his son are left in San Francisco with no income and living in a motel. Chris sees interest in become a stockbroker, but to become one he has to go through an internship. Meanwhile, Chris and his son are evicted because they can’t pay rent, and they are forced to go to a homeless shelter, and even one night had to sleep in the bathroom of the underground rail system. During his internship, he never once mentions his financial struggles and at one point he is asked to give one of his bosses 5 dollars for a cab, a sum that he can’t afford. After an intense six months, Chris is taken into the bosses’ office, and is offered a job as a stockbroker, the final scene shows him being in unbelief of the position he was offered and showing his happiness and gratefulness for the opportunity, Chris realises that his financial struggles are over as he now has a job with a regular income.

Christ was unfortunate, for he got a wife who was not understandable at all (though she has her own difficulties) and was in bad luck with his business. But he was very fortunate also, for he got a son who was very thoughtful and, I think, tough life experiences always make a great person. It is said that this movie is inspired by a true story, and I want to say, this movie does inspire me a lot. What impressed me most are: Christ’s wife left him because of life pressure; Christ’s love to his son and Christ’s strong belief towards life. Through these, I know that it is not easy to be a good husband and a good Papa, since in reality, only love cannot only make everything. And I also learn that one has to strongly believe in himself, no matter how difficult the situation is, but of course, hard-working is indispensable.

Samantha, like many renters, is tired of renting. One reason is that her annual rent goes up like clockwork. Every year her landlord raises the rent five percent. Another reason is her neighbors. “New neighbors always seem to be more inconsiderate than the ones who moved out,” she said. “My first neighbor was a door-slammer; I always knew when he came home or left home. After he moved out, a saxophonist moved in. A saxophonist! He practiced two hours a day. On Saturday his friends would come over and I’d get to listen to a whole band. I called the police, but they said saxophone playing is permitted in apartments for up to four hours a day, because saxophone playing is job-related. They told me I was lucky that the guy was only playing two hours a day!”

There are many unhappy renters, but there are also happy renters. “I’ve been lucky my whole life,” said Howard, a middle-aged man. “My neighbors couldn’t have been any better if I had picked them myself. One neighbor was a chef. He’d bring me the best leftovers in the world. Another neighbor was a pianist. She played the most delightful music. Another neighbor was a mechanic who did my tune-ups and changed the oil in my car. My latest neighbor is a birder; we go birding every weekend with our binoculars.”

Different persons have different attitudes. Samantha saw the saxophone player as irritating, yet Howard saw the piano player as delightful. Millions of people would be happy just to have a roof over their head. Yet there are millions who would complain that their roof is the wrong color.

爸爸说要带我去梁山游玩，我高兴不已。同样高兴的还有几只可爱的小蚂蚱，它们在我的脚边跳来跳去，好像以为我会带着它们一起去似的。

我和爸爸来到了梁山，经历了很多新奇有趣的事情。最令我难忘的便是在我下山的时候，我和爸爸在一旁休息，几只黑黑的蚂蚁爬到我的黑皮鞋上。它们或许以为我的脚是一辆黑色的小汽车，以为我能够把它们带到北京去。难道它们和那几只小蚂蚱是好朋友么。

我们在梁山看到一个深深的小洞。我问爸爸这是什么?爸爸说：“这是孙二娘的脚印。”我奇怪的问爸爸：“爸爸，孙二娘的脚印不会有这么深吧?”爸爸说，“可能是孙二娘练武的地方”。

我们又往前走，看到一块大石头上面写着“黑风口”三个大字，书上说这是李逵把守的地方，我看见大石头旁边雕刻着黑旋风李逵的塑像，他威风凛凛的站在那里，他手握两把斧子，仿佛在说：“哪个坏蛋敢来我就把他干掉，我就看看哪个鸟人不怕死!”

最后，我们来忠义堂，看到天空中挂着一面黄底黑字的旗子，上面写着“替天行道”，我进了正面的屋子看到宋江坐在中间，他的左边是吴用，右边是卢骏义，书上说吴用和卢骏义是宋江的左膀右臂，我们非常崇拜宋江，就给宋江恭恭敬敬磕了一个头。两侧的房子里有梁山好汉的塑像，有打虎英雄武松、豹子头林冲、黑旋风李逵、青面兽杨智、花和尚鲁达、还有阮氏三兄弟，一个个形态各异，栩栩如生。

看完了，我们就来到山脚下去闯关了，穿过吊桥，再爬网山，过独木桥，走迷宫，好不容易到了二关，二关是当年武松和鲁智深把守的地方。然后我们去看战船，战船可大了，都有两层楼那么高。

最后，我们又去了动物园，看到了可爱的小白鸽和顽皮的小猪趴在妈妈身边，还有美丽如仙的丹顶鹤和小鸭子在水里追逐游戏。看完动物，我们就坐上公共汽车，唱着歌，心情美美的回家了。

Life is like a box of chocolates

-----The review of Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump is a famous film which won a high reputation , it’s tell us a story of a low IQ boy’s unexpected and legendary life. In the film, Forrest’s IQ only had 75 lower than normal people, but he graduated from the university,participated in the Vietnam War, took part in Table Tennis Competition in China as diplomatic envoy, became a millionaire...

“If God intended everybody to be the same, hed have given us all braces on our legs. “ God is so fair. Forrest met lots of accidents and every accident fortunately achieve him. I think nothing is predestined except death. Just like Gumps mother did not know that she will be his mother,just like Forrest did not know that God gave him only 75 IQ,just like Lt. Dan Taylor did not know he had to endure the pain of losing legs...

Tom Hanks who played Forrest Gump said “our destiny is only defined by how we deal with the chance element to our life.” When we face our life,maybe we should have this preparation---“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what youre going to get.”

Low-carbon life is good for everyone. To help with the environment, I

always walk or ride a bike to school instead of taking a car. Besides, I will

try to use things that can be recycled and I never forget to turn off the lights

when I leave the classroom. I think it’s my duty to live a low-carbon life. And

even the simplest activities can make a real difference to the environment. So I

suggest we should reuse books as long as possible. And we’d better not spend

much money on expensive clothes. If everyone does something for the environment,

I believe the earth will be a better place.

How to Make Friends

It’s hard to makefriends if you stay alone all the time. It’s easier to

make friends whenyou have similar interests. Look at people in the eyes when you

talk to them. Don’t be afraid to show people whatyou are really good at. Talk

about the things you like and do best. Be a goodlistener. Let people talk about

themselves before talking about yourself. Be friendly to a lot of people. Try to

help your friends when they are in trouble because a friend in need is a

friendindeed. That way you’ll have a bigger group to choose from and havemore

chances to make friends.

To make a wise choice, two important things should be taken into consideration. One is the interest, the other, the demands of people and society. Only if the two aspects are connected, can a man show his talent and ability to the best advantage.

Friends can be classified into two kinds, good friends and evil friends. Evil friends lead us astray and may destroy our life, while good ones drive us towards the right and make our life successful.

Two of them exist in our daily life. However, ideal friends exist in peoples mind. They should be diligent, successful and loyal. When you need help, they will stand beside you and be delighted to give you a hand. Also you can share your happiness and sorrow together.

In my opinion, friends can share something but they also should keep their own secrets. So I wish my friends wouldnt interfere in my privacy too much. On the other hand, my friends should have Something in common with me, at the same time something special. In this way we can attract each other and learn from each other.

The earth is our only home to this day, and many people know that "there is only one earth, we should love it", but some people just talk about it and do nothing. They dont know that some very small actions can protect the environment -- by sorting out the garbage and using the battery to choose the rechargeable battery. Plant more trees in your spare time...

Now the earth is seriously ill, mainly caused by air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution.

Air pollution is mainly caused by the floating of material from factories, power stations and car exhausts into the atmosphere, making the air "dusty and footless". In cities with severe air pollution, people and animals are also affected and stunted. In addition, if the atmospheric carbon dioxide content is too high, it will produce a greenhouse effect, which will melt the ice in the south and south poles and reduce the ozone layer rapidly, which will eventually lead to global warming. It is not difficult to prevent this phenomenon. We can use the power of the transportation to replace the diesel fuel, thus reducing the exhaust emissions, the simplest way of course is to plant more trees.

Water source pollution is mainly caused by waste water and climatic factors. With the increase of population and the extension of human life, mankind will face unprecedented water scarcity. Some people say that the worlds water supply will be in short supply after 2030. To this, we must pay attention to saving and protecting water resources.

Soil pollution is my concern, because soil has a huge connection to air and water. Without soil to grow plants, there is no source of air, and soil is an important survival basis for plants and animals. Without soil, we humans could die. So we must protect the soil. There are many ways to protect the soil, such as in daily life, dont bury things like disposable batteries and foam plastics into the soil. We need to start small, and everyone is helping to protect the soil.

The earth is the cradle of life and the common home of mankind. We should love the earth and protect the earth.

助人为乐（二）

In school,I work very hard and I rank in the top of my class.Therefore,my classmates would like to ask me some questions about study when they do not ask for teachers.I like helping others.Firstly,when others need help,I want to give them a hand.They come to me,because they trust me.This makes me happy.Secondly,I can get help from others,too.Once you did some favors to them,they are more likely to help you.Finally,helping others is helping myself,too.When I solve problems,I get improvement at the same time.

However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.

This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fools Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

In Scotland, for example, April Fools Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.

Mexicos counterpart of April Fools Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.

Pranks performed on April Fools Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoes untied, or I accidentally stepped on your glasses!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"

Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fools Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fools Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.

April Fools Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. Its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

I like playing erhu (a kind of Chinese musical instrument) and listening to pop music. I am also very interested in traveling. Oh, yes, I am a great bar-goer!

描写朋友的英语作文带翻译 This summer, I will be traveling to Australia. I will be attending a conference on behalf of my college in Sydney from July 10 to 16. After the conference, I plan to do some sightseeing in Australia, maybe five more days. If you are free, I would be very happy to meet you in person. Perhaps we could have lunch together.

Well, let me finish here. I am already eagerly awaiting your reply to this first letter. Please tell me all about yourself and your interests. I hope we can become good friends.

Yours truly,

Kenny Gao
