畅想未来的英语作文及翻译（合集20篇）

未来是美好的,未来是灿烂的,未来是多彩的,未来是充满活力的。我渴望未来，我向往未来，所以我要畅想未来。

思绪的风筝牵引着我到了xxxx年，我跟着它飞呀飞终于到了一处可以休息的地方。我坐下来朝四周望着心情十分激动。我想着想着……

现在的中国科技已经快速提高，也会发明出先进的核武器来增强国防力量;也会研制出一种净化空气保护环境的电子机器人之类的高科技产品;也发射成功了神舟“5号、6号”……也许会研制出一种可以使许多患白血病的人得到康复的药品;也许会有更多的中国人获得诺贝尔奖;也许会有更多的外籍华人回归祖国为祖国做贡献。

现在的我会去一个美好的地方实现自己的理想，成就自己的事业，为自己所喜爱的东西去奋斗，为自己的目标不断拼搏。那时，我也许是医生，用自己的全力治好每一个被病魔困惑的人;我也许是老师，把自己的所有知识、爱心、热情以及宽容都献给自己的学生;我也许是一名歌星，录制很大经典歌曲，给所有期待我的歌迷以最大的快乐;我也许是一名翻译，把自己祖国的语言传遍世界的每一个角落，也把外国的语言带回中国，到那时世界也许会变得更美好。

啊!我向渴望未来，我向外未来，我畅想未来。

I have a best friend, we know each other when we are five years old, now we talk about everything. But sometimes we will have the argument, none of us want to give in first. We make a deal that the next day we will meet in a place every time, so we become good again. I cherish our friendship so much.

我有一个最好的朋友,我们彼此认识的时候是在我们五岁的时候,现在我们无所不谈。但有时我们会有争吵,谁也不想先屈服。我们达成协议,第二天我们会在一个地方见面,这样我们再次和好。我珍惜我们的友谊。

随着科学技术的飞速发展，我们的祖国正发生着巨大的变化。那么，未来的世界是什么样子的呢！

未来的房子是会飞的房子，每个房子里都有一个大的屏幕，里面显示着这座房子的全貌，当你按下红色按钮时，房顶会立刻分开，螺旋桨升起来了，它不停地转动着，你想去哪里，就转动方向盘，和开汽车一样。这样交通很方便，就像一只在天空中上下飞舞的蝴蝶非常有趣！你的房子如果落在绿色的草地上，房子就像变色龙一样马上变成绿色。

未来的病人，根本不用去看医生。而是用一个非常细小的机器人，让它从病人的嘴里钻到肚子里，机器人会把病人身体里面的所有病菌全部杀死，这样就可以避免手术给病人带来的痛苦。

未来的马路是透明的，像玻璃一样，向下一看能倒映出地面山的一切，在阳光的照耀下金光闪闪，可那不是玻璃，那是用高分子建筑材料做的，上面涂上一层油光剂，这样人和汽车走在上面就不会打滑。

总之，未来是辉煌的，未来也是先进的，我们一定要为美好的未来发奋读书！

My favorite animal is the dolphin. They live in the ocean. And they are cute and beautiful. They not only swim fast, but are also smart. Their color is gray. They can swim and jump in the ocean. They look like fish, but they are mammals. Dolphins can be trained by people because they can learn things very quickly. They are very friendly, so I love them very much.

我最喜欢的动物是海豚。他们生活在海洋。他们可爱，漂亮。他们不仅游得很快还很聪明。它们是灰色的。他们可以在海里游泳和跳跃。它们看起来像鱼但它们是哺乳动物。海豚可以被人训练，因为它们学习得很快,它们都很友好，所以我很爱它们。

The Dragon Boat Festival, must not not include dumplings! Today, my sister is teaching me the dumplings! You see.

Make zongzi must be prepared. My sister was ready to soak for three hours of glutinous rice and bought the leaves, which surprised me.

I put my rice in the leaves, and I was all over the table, and I was angry. My sister said to me, "you want to make a triangular shape of the leaf and put the rice in it!"

So I did what my sister said, and pressed it on the rice. Whats in the middle of that dish? It was minced meat! I dug a small hole in the middle of the glutinous rice and made it into a round shape, stuffing it into glutinous rice and adding it to the glutinous rice. How can you seal it? I looked at my sister and knew everything.

I pressed down one of the warped leaves and pressed the rope hard. Success! I covered a lot of them in the previous method. Now its time to get the pot down, boil the water first, and then put the dumplings on.

After a while, the dumplings were cooked. The four of you sat at the table and ate the dumplings.

I untied the rope and was trying to remove the leaves, but when I touched it, it was hot. Her sister looked and laughed. I blew and blew the heat away. I again carefully will leaves open, eat up to her delicious dumplings - among all be stuffed glutinous rice, wrapped in a delicious meat, fresh juice in your mouth, no oil is not greasy, and chewy, feels so good!

So the Dragon Boat Festival in the past, his mouth to eat with his hand package dumplings, thought the tang dynasty poet du fu wrote poems: palace clothing is famous, dragon boat be reward. The wind is soft and the snow is light. When the weather is wet, lets go to the heat. The meaning is the length of the word, the whole life.

What a happy Dragon Boat Festival!

过端午节，一定少不了粽子!今天，姐姐就在教我包粽子呢!你瞧。

做粽子一定要有准备的。原来，姐姐已准备好浸泡了3个小时的糯米，同时也买好了粽叶，这样准备就让我大吃一惊了。

我把米放在叶子里，可米全撒在了桌上，我生气极了。姐姐对我说：“你要把叶子做成一个三角形的样子，然后再把米放进去啊!”

于是，我按照姐姐说的步骤作了一遍，在米上按了按，咦?旁边那个盘子中间放的是什么?原来是肉馅哦!我在糯米中间挖了一个小洞洞，把肉馅弄成圆状，塞入糯米中，让它也加入糯米的行列中。可怎么封好呢?我看了眼姐姐，就明白了一切。

我把翘起来的一片叶子按下来，并用绳子用力的扎紧。成功啦!我按照前面的方法，包了好多个。现在就要下锅了，先是把水烧开，然后把粽子放下去。

过了一会儿，粽子煮好了。大家四人坐在桌子旁，吃起了粽子。

我把绳子解开，正想把叶子摘掉，可我一碰，就被烫着了。姐姐看了，哈哈的笑了起来。我吹着吹着，把让热气吹走了。我再次小心翼翼的将叶子掀开，吃起了自己亲手做的香喷喷的粽子来——白白胖胖的糯米中间，包着一团鲜汁可口的肉馅，放入口中，不油不腻，又有嚼劲，感觉太好了!

端午节就这么过去了，嘴里吃着自己亲手包的粽子，心里想着我国唐代诗人杜甫写的诗：宫衣亦有名，端午被恩荣。细葛含风软，香罗叠雪轻。自天题处湿，当暑着来清。意内称长短，终身荷圣情。

这真是一个快乐的端午节!

There are so many people talking about how much their mother love them，whereas seldom people realize how much love their father give fact，father＇s love is as strong as mother＇s，but normally，fathers are not very good of expressing their er＇s love is deep and silent，that＇s why most people think their father love them you carefully go through your childhood memory，you will notice your father is always there when you need them，though they never said it out loud how much they love you，father＇s like a shelter when the storm coming，father＇s like a door when there is danger outside，father is someone no matter how you treat him，he will choose to bear all the pressure and let you please cheer for the love of father！

有那么多的人在谈论他们的母亲有多爱他们，而很少有人意识到他们的父亲有多爱他们。事实上，父亲的爱和母亲的爱一样强烈，但通常情况下，父亲并不善于表达自己的感情。父亲的爱是深沉而沉默的，这就是为什么大多数人认为父亲不那么爱他们。如果你仔细地翻阅童年的记忆，你会注意到你的父亲总是在你需要他们的时候出现，尽管他们从来没有大声说出他们有多么爱你，父亲就像暴风雨来临时的庇护所，父亲就像外面有危险时的门，父亲是一个无论你怎样对待他的人，他都会选择承受一切压力，让你自由。所以请为父亲的爱欢呼吧！

it was mother’s day. sun zheng thought he should do something for his mother. he decided to help his mother do some housework. after school he went to a shop to buy some food on his way home. when he got home, he did his best to cook some nice food,though he couldn’t do the cooking well. thenhe cleaned the room. he felt very tired, but he was very happy. when his father and his mother came back and saw the clean rooms and dishes which weren’t so nice, they were very happy.they had their supper together. his mother said, "thank you,my child!"

今天是母亲节。孙峥觉得应该为妈妈做点事，他决定帮妈妈做些家务。放学回家的路上，他去商店买了食品。到家后，他尽全力做些好吃的，尽管他并不擅长烹任。做完饭，他又打扫了房间。他感觉有些累，但仍然很高兴。 当父母回来后，看见干净的房间和并不太荚味的菜，他们依然很高兴。他们一起吃了晚饭。妈妈说：“谢谢你，孩子。”

today is mother’s day. i know some of my classmates are going to help their mothers with the housework, others .are going to buy some flowers for their mothers. i want to say to her that i love her very much. but as a boy, it is a bit difficult for me to show my heart. i think only girls can do that. my mother is very kind. she takes care of me day and night. she spends little money, but buys anything for me that i need. this time i must show my love. i am going to give her a card and write like this, "i love you, mother!" i am going to put it under her pillow.

今天是母亲节。我知道一些同学打算帮妈妈做些家务，还有一些同学打算给妈妈买些花。我只是想对妈妈说一声，我非常爱她。但是对我来说这样表达我的情感有点儿难，因为我是个男孩。我觉得只有女生才这样做。 我妈妈是个非常善良的人。她对我照顾得无微不至。她自己很少花钱，但能给我买我需要的任何东西。 这次我一定要表示我对她的爱。我打算送她一张写有“我爱你，妈妈”的卡片，我还打算把它放在她的枕头下面。

[今天是母亲节英语作文及翻译

Im Li Xin. Haiyan wrote a letter to his friend asking him not to write for

a long time, but I still miss him very much, because we are good friends. You

went to Yanan a few weeks ago and stayed there for a few days.

You visited ancient tombs, pagoda mountain, scenic spots, and climbed

mountains. According to many photos, Haiyan picked up pebbles and happily told

his friend Haiyan that my English teacher was very good, but She was ill for two

weeks, and a teacher took her place. Cui Cuis teachers were very young, but

they had a good class.

They also had to participate in the teaching game with us. I will study

harder. I believe that relying on hard work, I will get excellent results and

reply quickly.

中文翻译：

我是李昕，海燕给朋友写了一封信，问海燕，告诉他不要写很久了，但还是非常想念他，因为我们是好朋友，几周前你去延安旅游，并在那里呆了几天，游览了古墓、宝塔山、景点，还爬山，根据很多照片，捡起鹅卵石，高兴地告诉朋友海燕我的英语老师很好，但她生病两个星期，由一位老师代她上课，崔翠的老师都很年轻，但上课很好，还要和我们一起参与教学的游戏我会更加努力地学习，我相信，依靠努力一定会取得优异的成绩，快速回复。

我诧异于世界上竟会有如此奇妙的转变;

以为会进球却没想到输了;

面对如此的惨象，以为脆弱的你会哭，你却坚强地挺住了;

滑铁卢战役上，生死关头，拿破仑以为等候到的是格鲁奇，却没想到居然是布吕歇，导致了最终的失败。

未来吗?不，我更愿称之为“下一刻”。

下一刻会发生什么，谁都难以准确地猜测，不要那么“自以为是”，生命中也不允许那么多的“自以为是”，谦虚一点，多听听别人怎么说。

我畅想未来。

也许未来比天空更深远，比天气更多变，比分叉路更难以想象。

未来是漂浮在现实之上的天使，每个人的未来都可以美好。

而现实则是一种过渡。有这样一句精妙的言论：过去的是一个梦，未来的是一个希望。过去的就让它过去吧!就算紧紧地握着不放开，时常地回忆，那泛黄的书页也经不起一点点破坏了。怀念未尝不美，但只要人还在，更多地就当立足于现在。何以立足?去争取，去创造。创造，多美!上帝成就的一番事业，人类何不去继承呢?“我也可以!”这是一种信念，更是一种能力。只要你相信，你就是精卫，大海也终会拜倒在你的脚下。未来，也会因你而自信地一塌糊涂。

但没有那么光明的世界，这不过是一种理想化而已。

人生若陷入黑暗的泥淖，未来会因此而糟蹋地一塌糊涂吗?也许是，也许不是。因为所有一切在我们前面的就是未来。那个未知的过度因人而异。不是有这样一句格言吗?人生上半场打不好不要紧，下半场还可以再努力。重新再来，过个有意义的后半生。什么是有意义?在没有意义的基础上更进一步就是有意义。没有意义就如同一片黑暗，看不清，摸不着边际。没有意义的人生，未来是黑黢黢的。然而黑暗并不就意味着绝境，你可以去摸索一丝希望的火光，试图去有意义地度过后半生。你通过努力与拼搏为未来插上了一双翅膀，未来便载着你冲破黑暗，驶向光明。

未来等待选择。面对千变万化的未来，我们却只能选择其一，然后靠向更遥远的未来。未来的未来，我们都已苍老憔悴，值垂暮之际，而未来却仍连绵不断。当有限化作土灰，未来是否又在等待着下个轮回?

上帝赐予人有限的生命，而人却创造了无限的未来。未来的尾巴随着我们而逝，可头却伸向无穷远，永无止尽。

不必惊叹于未来。现在决定未来。用现在打造未来，这是最佳方式。谁都不知道下一刻会发生什么，但未来的轮廓会因此而更加了然。未来就在每个人的手中!

电在我们生活中是不可或缺的，它可以让电灯发出光亮，让电扇转动起来。因为有电，有了在夏天不可缺少的空调，让我们感觉夏天不是那么炎热。因为有电，可以让电脑开启，让我们了解无穷无尽的知识。

在未来，我们的越来越生活多姿多彩，每个人都可以做喜欢做自己想做的事情，可以做自己梦想中的事情。有人梦想着自己有一个机器人，在自己孤独的时候能陪自己谈心，爸爸梦想着有一辆超级无敌的电动车带我们环游全世界，妈妈想有一个能帮她工作的机器，让她有更多的时间陪我。

电的产生让我们的生活往前提了一大步，但是我们也不能忽略过量用电对环境的伤害，特别是电池，爸爸曾经和我说过，遥控器和玩具里用完的废电池不能随意丢弃，因为它对土壤和水资源会造成很大的影响。

合理用电，幸福生活。电，让我们的生活越来越美好！

2056年时，我已经是一个举世闻名的大科学家了，我的重大发明获得的奖项也是数不胜数。这不，我的最新发明“漂浮式房屋”刚刚获得了爱迪生发明奖，连评委会主席都连连赞扬，这是“创世纪的不朽之作”。

你撇嘴？你不信？哈！要是把我以前的伟大发明给你一一列举出来，准保能让你惊的连嘴巴都合不上！

说到我的发明，我就不得不向您介绍一下我前年刚刚研制出的“高效复活丹”。这种药能让死去的人迅速苏醒，虽然以前也有人研发过，科副作用率高达百分之五十。而我发明的复活丹粒粒见效！仅这一发明，就获得了七项大奖！

当然，“漂浮式房屋”也是我的力作。这种房屋平时在地面上，如果一遇到地震，只要级数在四级以上，房屋感到震感，就会漂浮在天空中，并且在空中形成安全气囊，就算你从空中掉下来，气垫也会兜住你，保证让整个房屋和你安全着陆。别看现在级数很大的地震也时时发生发生，但再也没有发生半个世纪前汶川、海地、玉树的悲剧。

我不仅从事开发工作，还在努力的为人类寻找合适的居住地，毕竟地球上的人实在太多了。不过，我已经找到了三个适合人类居住的星球。并且开发了海洋与陆地居住地，现在，移居别处的人类已经达到了七十亿！

当然，紧我一个人单枪匹马地研究是不行的。我与其他九个国家的科学家组成了世界级科研队，共同在一起开发有益于人类的发明。其中，“回收机器”便是我们的代表作。它使用也十分简单：把废品投进入口，再按下加工按钮，两分钟后，废品就变成了可用的物品了。这种机器大大减少了资源的开发，环保组织甚至公布：家家都必须有这种机器。

我发明的东西实在太多啦！连自己都数不清。不过，凡是我发明的东西，我都要第一个“享用”，虽然我已经是荣誉满身了，但我还要更加努力的开发造福人类的发明，所以，我还是时时刻刻钻在实验室里。“叮铃铃”，电话响了，话筒传来队友的声音：“今天咱们在“风仙酒楼”聚会，你怎么不来？”唉，把这事给忘了，于是，我乘坐着时速一万公里的无污染车，来到了酒楼的门口。

五十年后的今天，城市中的空气清新，没有以前那污染空气的汽车，大街小巷里滚动的都是绿色又环保的自行车。

五十年后的今天，衣食住行都变了。人与人之间互相学习，互相交流，人们的知识越来越丰富。

人们在春天所穿的衣服都是漂亮而又华贵的。那时，世界上再也不分贫穷，不分贵贱。

在夏天，人们穿的不是漂亮的裙子,而是一套运动衣。这可不是一套普通的运动衣，它是采用特殊的太空布料制作的，既环保，又健康，还透气呢。真是一举三得。人们聚集在广场上，穿着运动衣，跳着跑着，所以夏天又叫群众运动季。

在秋天，人们都穿着一件衬衫和一件外套，这样人们既不会感到冷，又不会增加身体的负担。

在冬天，人们都可以穿上羽绒服，这种羽绒服使用压缩羽绒制成的。所以人们又叫它“保暖之王”，让人们远离了寒冷，感到了家庭的温暖。

为了人们的营养健康，人们有建造了一座座蔬菜基地，一年四季有吃不完的蔬菜。那时的人们再也不会肥胖，都是健康的。

虽然，人们住的房子可以说都是高楼大厦，可你在屋子里已经见不到那些空调、冰箱和热水器了。

人们也不会开采矿石，石油和其他地下资源了。

人们的家园变得越来越美丽，地球妈妈也露出了欣慰的笑容。

我相信，在这五十年后的地球，指日可待！

一、Great changes in my hometown

More than twenty years ago, my hometown was just a small , old and poor town. Most of people were farmers. There were few factories. The people didn’t have enough food to eat and wore old clothes. They had a hard life .

Great changes have taken place in the past twenty years . The people have found a lot of ways of making money . Now there are many tall buildings . They are very beautiful . Roads are wide and clean . People can take buses or drive their own cars to go to work . Many people have cell phones and personal computers. People’s living conditions have improved a lot . Thanks to the government’s efforts . my hometown is becoming more and more beautiful .

Habits

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person doesa certain thing again and again, he＇ll be obliged to do it in the same way by some unseen force. Thus habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult and sometimes almost impossible to get rid of it. It is.therefore very important that we should take care in the formation of habits.

Good habits have many advantages. Going to bed early and getting up early makes us healthy. Diligence helps to succeed. Honesty helps:: win the respeet and trust of others.

If we form bad habits, such as rudeness, laziness, lying and stealing, we might be mined by them.

We ought to keep away from bad habits and try to acquire habits good for ourselves and others. ( 133 words)

习惯

习惯，不管是好是坏，都是逐渐形成的。当一个人反复的做某件事时，他就会被某种看不见的力量驱使不得不以同样的方式再去做这件事，于是习惯就形成了。习惯一旦形成，就很难、有时几乎不可能改掉。因此，在养成习惯时我们都应该特别小心，这一点至关重要。

良好习惯有着许多优点。早睡早起身体好；勤奋助人成功；诚实助人赢得他人的尊重和信任。

如果我们养成了坏习惯，比如：粗野、懒惰、说谎、偷窃，我们就可能堕落。

我们应该远离坏习惯并努力养成对己对人都有好处的习惯。

转眼间，就已经是2100年了，世界上的一切事物都已经被伟大又著名的科学家或发明家改造了，每件事物都给人们许许多多的方便和快捷。今天，就让我来给大家介绍一下吧。

此时，耸立在我们眼前的高大建筑物就是被称为“爱迪生在世”的人改造的房屋。别看这些房子和普普通通的屋子没有什么不一样的地方，实际上这一种房屋许许多多的设备都决对不亚于电脑住宅呢。而且，住在里面的人都会变成无所不能的“超人”。因为这一整座房子都是声控的。住在里面的人只要说一句话，房子就会按照你说的去做。比如，你说：“我想要一杯浓茶。”房子里的厨房就会自动给你泡一杯浓茶，并且还会自动送到你指定的地方。当然，为了防止坏人干坏事，所以我们“超人”的范围只有一整座房子那么大。

接下来，我们已经来到广场了，你在问我怎么一下子就来到这吗？实话告诉你吧，其实每个家庭都有一种地图，这种地图非常特别，只要你点一下就能到哪，很特别吧。

其实，今天我介绍的都是冰山一角，还有更厉害的我还没有介绍呢。如果，你感兴趣的话，就请听我下文分解。

If I Rest, I Rust

The significant inscription found on an old key - "If I rest, I rust." - would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示:如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gates that guard entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture-every department of human endeavor.

有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业:科学，艺术，文学，农业等。

Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in quarry had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his " moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, had allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside, instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never become a famous,astronomer.

勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休·米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙·斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他，那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

Labor vanquish all-not inconstant, spasmodic or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, So is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。
