篇1:平安夜给某某的一封英文信

全文共 2973 字

+ 加入清单

Husband:

Merry Christmas!

Today is Christmas Eve, we have already made an appointment tonight you

want to accompany me to go shopping mall, to see a movie, but you cut once again

stood me up.

I was the first one to rush out of the office after work today. On the way,

I was wondering whether you would have another task today. I will not be a

lonely Christmas Eve again! Call and ask, "Do you have an assignment?" Just say

you wont stand me up. When I got home, I was surprised to find that you were

still at home, cooking dinner. I was so happy that I didnt know what my name

was. Looking at your busy figure, I am happy, began to fantasize about tonight

we go to the mall shopping, do not stop to call the mall in the activity. I had

my eye on a windbreaker for a long time, but I was reluctant to buy it because

the price was too expensive. On the way back today, I saw that there was a sale

in the shopping mall, so I decided to move it back to my wardrobe. We began to

discuss our schedule for tonight. Im also glad of my good luck today. However,

the truth is cruel, once again proved that I still have to spend Christmas Eve

alone. When we were about to have dinner, your phone rang, and by the

seriousness on your face, I knew that our date would never happen again. You

very guiltily say with me: "wife: we again tomorrow go to the mall ok? Its hard

to say youll get more discounts, more activities and more gifts tomorrow. We

have to go out for a while tonight. If its cold, go to bed early, so dont wait

for me. You eat first, and Ill wash the dishes when I come back." When I asked

you what it was, you promised to keep it a secret. The husband! Im a cop, too.

I have a sense of secrecy. I asked you what? Just to see how dangerous you are.

Why dont you understand? You! What a stupid pig. Im glad you had your head in

the right place, or I dont know how you ended up in the police force.

Husband, to tell the truth, both of us are policemen. I think my working

attitude is not as good as yours, my enthusiasm is not as high as yours, and My

work is not as serious as yours. However, since the second year after my work, I

have been an excellent civil servant every year. Last year, I was also rated as

one of the top ten policemen. But you, dont say an excellent civil servant, you

havent even rated a reward. I dont even know why? In your squadron, you did

more work than anyone else, did the most work (and of course, you were the

youngest), did everything that was dangerous, but at the end of the year you had

nothing. If I were you, Id have a lot of complaints, or Id be like everyone

else, and you wouldnt, youd still be working. Sometimes I have been wondering

whether you are really more "stupid" than others?

Honey, you must remember, you owe me another date. You stood me up again

today, I am very angry, but I hope you are safe. I hope I can see you tonight

before twelve o clock.

What an auspicious word "Silent Night" is! I wish all the policemen a safe

life on Christmas Eve.

New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.

The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese an extra month once every few years. This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.

New Years Eve and New Years Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.

The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.

The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Years Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove". It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations

I think smiling is as important as sunshine. Smiling is like sunshine

because it can make people happy and have a good day. If you aren’t happy, you

can smile, and then you will feel happy. Someone may say, “But I don’t feel

happy.” Then I would say, “Please smile as you do when you are happy or play

with your friends happily. You will really be happy again.”

You don’t like crying, right? So you must prefer smiling, because you know

smiling will let people forget everything unhappy. Every day, we see teachers or

students and say, “Hi/Hello! How are you?” At the same time, you are smiling,

right?

Smiling can let you have more friends. With a smile, people will know

you’re a kind person. They will talk with you, so you will have more and more

friends.

So I say, smiling is like a flower, the sunshine, warmth. It will give you

happiness.

What are friends? We often talk about the topic with others. I think

friends are those people who can help you when you are in trouble. Don’t forget

the saying, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Friends can tell you your

mistakes, though what they say is hard for you to listen to. You can share your

happiness, trouble and worry with friends. Someone also says, “You can’t walk

any step without a friend.” So I think friends are very important to us. I would

篇14:英文介绍中秋节的来历

全文共 1815 字

the mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, usually in october in gregorian calendar.

每年农历八月十五日,是传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期,所以被称为中秋。

the festival has a long history. in ancient china, emperors followed the rite of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. historical books of the zhou dynasty had had the word "mid-autumn". later aristocrats and literary figures helped expand the ceremony to common people. they enjoyed the full, bright moon on that day, worshipped it and expressed their thoughts and feelings under it. by the tang dynasty (618-907), the mid-autumn festival had been fixed, which became even grander in the song dynasty (960-1279). in the ming (1368-1644) and qing (1644-1911) dynasties, it grew to be a major festival of china.

中秋节有悠久的历史,和其它传统节日一样,也是慢慢发展形成的,古代帝王有春天祭日,秋天祭月的礼制,早在《周礼》一书中,已有“中秋”一词的记载。后来贵族和文人学士也仿效起来,在中秋时节,对着天上又亮又圆一轮皓月,观赏祭拜,寄托情怀,这种习俗就这样传到民间,形成一个传统的活动,一直到了唐代,这种祭月的风俗更为人们重视,中秋节才成为固定的节日,《唐书·太宗记》记载有“八月十五中秋节”,这个节日盛行于宋朝,至明清时,已与元旦齐名,成为我国的主要节日之一。

folklore about the origin of the festival go like this: in remote antiquity, there were ten suns rising in the sky, which scorched all crops and drove people into dire poverty. a hero named hou yi was much worried about this, he ascended to the top of the kunlun mountain and, directing his superhuman strength to full extent, drew his extraordinary bow and shot down the nine superfluous suns one after another. he also ordered the last sun to rise and set according to time. for this reason, he was respected and loved by the people and lots of people of ideals and integrity came to him to learn martial arts from him. a person named peng meng lurked in them.

相传,远古时候天上有十日同时出现,晒得庄稼枯死,民不聊生,一个名叫后羿的英雄,力大无穷,他同情受苦的百姓,登上昆仑山顶,运足神力,拉开神弓,一气射下九个多太阳,并严令最后一个太阳按时起落,为民造福。后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和爱戴,不少志士慕名前来投师学艺,心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。

A work crew consisting of 150 volunteers worked for eight hours in a light drizzle on Saturday to clean Carson Creek of almost nine tons of debris. “A job well done,” smiled Alan Specter, the director of the event. “We’re scheduled to come back here one more time, three years from now. Of course, we hope that there won’t be nine tons of garbage next time.”

The garbage came in all shapes, sizes, and colors: cans, bottles, bicycles, car tires, autobatteries, sofas, furniture, clothing, shopping carts, bowling balls, plastic bags, dolls, baby carriages, TV antennas, and portable radios. There was even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs.

Much of the backbreaking work was done by two community groups—the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, and two environmental groups—Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Concerned retirees and volunteers from police and fire departments assisted. Everyone was issued boots, gloves, and rain gear. The work occurred along a two-mile stretch of streambed. The debris was hauled roadside, where trucks lined up to take the trash to the landfill. More than 500 big yellow trash bags were filled.

No one found anything of great value, although a five-year-old boy found an earring that he thought might be worth a million dollars because it was so shiny. He said he would sell it. Then he would donate half of the proceeds to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy a triple-scoop ice cream cone every day for the rest of his life.

环卫工人是我们城市的舒适环境的创造者,他们让整个城市变得干净和美丽。他们应该得到我们的尊敬。下面,小编整理了几篇关于环卫工人的英语作文,以供大家参考。

关于环卫工人的英文作文一

Each time I feel very emotional after reading the news about bad or unfair treatment towards city hygiene workers. On one hand, they have to suffer the poor working environment; on the other hand, they do not earn the respect from the society or public. It is a very sad fact in China, which is a wake-up call for us to face the situation in good manner. In my opinion, the education background differences outweigh other factors. People who are not well educated do not see the hardwork and uneasy life of those city beauty workers. All they care is their own feelings and interest. Moreover, if we do not appreciate or cherish others devotion to the city, the city as a mirror will reflect its bad side towards ourselves. Therefore, the public need to learn to respect and behave properly such as not throw about the garbage. In addition, the government should also make its efforts to improve the treatment of those sanitation workers as well as set up a good example in the public.

关于环卫工人的英文作文二

To be a sanitation worker can never be considered as a decent job in peoples eyes, especially in China. A story of Sanmao, a Taiwanese author, described that she wanted to be a garbabge collector and she wrote this in her homework in her elementary school but teasing and objection came from her teacher and classmates. There is nothing wrong about a childish girls idea, and she thought that job could provide the most freedom. But this reflect the obvious discrimination. However, there is a dustman in my department. Everyone says hello, chats, jokes, and respects him as respect any other professors and students because people dont see differences between jobs.

关于环卫工人的英文作文三

He is a cleaner,quiet and ordinary looking.People dont pay attention to the figures in the public when the cleaners at work.He is one of them.He has to get up very early in the morning to sweep the streets.He enjoyed this time of the day for there is sunshine,birds sing and less traffic and peoples noise.He finishes the street sweeping by 8 oclock and he can take some time to the breakfast stand to have his favorite breakfast.After that,he has to work in a shopping center .The public toilets,dining halls and the elevators are the area he is responsible to keep clean.At lunch time,he has an hour to eat at the corner food store.In the afternoon,he continues to carry on the same duty until 6 oclock when the shopping center closes.

He comes home to his wife and daughter at dinner time.This is the happiest time of his day.He loves his family and they love him.He is a very happy man.

关于环卫工人的英文作文四

In cold winter, people are warming up near the fireplace at home, while sanitation workers are cleaning the broken branches and falling leaves. Usually sanitation workers have always been very hard, plus cruel and merciless wind and snow will be cut off branches and leaves on the roadside, the road, the sidewalk ... everywhere, sanitation can be miserable. They took the knife to cut off the branches, took the shovel to shovel branches and leaves, and take the broom sweeping, tired in the cold weather sweating profusely, the cold wind did not feel cold, they forget the tiredness and cold. In such a cold weather, sanitation workers have cleaned up our Fuzhou streets and won peoples respect. We should learn from sanitation workers and learn from their hard-working and optimistic spirit. In extraordinary positions, to make extraordinary things, although their own dirty, but Fuzhou city has become more beautiful. When people see such a clean street, they think of sanitation workers as the hardest people and the loveliest people.

篇18:父亲节英文日记

Today is June 21st, Fathers Day. There is an indescribable feeling in my

heart, because I am not by their side, my parents are over 50 years old, and a

son cannot be filial by his side, and when the family is busy with farming, he

has to go to the construction site to sell his coolies in exchange for a little

bit. Poor wages.

I deeply remember the year when I went to school in 1999, my father told me

a sentence: "I can only put you in the car, and the future is up to you." I

understand what he meant, he was in Tell me that your brother went to a normal

school, and I will also enroll you in a secondary school. After school,

everything is up to you. My fathers teachings are like a lamp, illuminating my

future and inspiring me all the time.

I am a native rural boy. At some point our way out is to go to school. My

three brothers and sisters all went to secondary school, which is a huge expense

for a rural family. But in the eyes of my parents, we must be more promising

than them, not to farm at home, even if the family is busy with farming, we

should read books at home. I clearly remember that when I was in the first grade

of junior high school, my father and mother were working in the farmland. When I

went home to fetch water to drink in the field, I found that I was not reading,

but watching TV at home. Dad was very angry at the time, and asked me to take

the book and follow him. I followed him in despair. When he got to the field, he

asked me to read books there. He even found an umbrella for me so that I would

not be exposed to the sun. Although Dads eyes were harsh, they were more warm

and caring. At the time, I didnt understand the good intentions of my parents,

but now I really feel guilty when I think about it.

Dad, today is Fathers Day. In the past 28 years, you have done so much for

us. I can never repay in my life. I hope you are happy every day, healthy and

safe.

Whenever I walk heavy, I can always remember the power of your gaze and

move forward. Dad, you are my crutch at all times, give me support, give me

direction, give me strength, so that I can walk every step of the way in the

future. Even if you are not by my side, that deep fatherly love will still help

me forever!

Now that I have become a father, I have a deeper understanding of the kind

of expectation and care I have for my children. Dad I will always love you.

Again, I wish the parents of the world good health and long life.

篇19:同情心英文作文

全文共 3918 字

Weve all heard the quote, Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

My husband and son died within two years of each other. From my personal experience, I believe that if we arent careful, grief can become a rather self-involved process in which we can become so focused on our own suffering that we miss the opportunity to connect with, and possibly bring comfort to, someone else who may be going through a similar experience.

Six months after my husband died, I was sinking in the quicksand of grief. I could not pull myself out of the misery.

In that moment, I actually believed that my life was more difficult than anyone else around me. Life handed me a perfectly wrapped lesson that opened my eyes to the fact that through my suffering I had allowed myself to become blinded by my self-pity.

The lesson presented itself in a health crisis. I had complications from a surgical procedure and ended up being hospitalized for four days. I was in an extreme amount of pain during this time. Between the physical pain and the emotional pain of grief, I was an absolute mess.

I should also tell you that I am a Registered Nurse. As a nurse, it is hard to be on the receiving end of medicine as the patient.

The first three nights that I was in the hospital, the same nurse took care of me. She was young, maybe in her mid to late 20s, and she hardly interacted with me at all the first two nights, other than to give my medications as scheduled. She obviously had no idea how much emotional pain I was in. How hard is it to ask your patient how shes feeling? I wrote her off as a bad nurse who had little empathy, and remained absorbed in my own emotional and physical pain.

The third night the young nurse was a little more talkative. She asked me how I was feeling (finally!). I told her that I was struggling with depression and grief because my husband had died in an airplane accident.

She looked at me and told me that her husband had died too, just two months earlier. I was stunned. Speechless. Shocked.

Never, in any of the possibilities that my mind entertained of why this nurse was so stand-offish with me, did I even consider that she might be in the same pain I was. Not only was she grieving as I was, but she was having to take care of me, instead of caring for herself and her family.

We went on to talk and share our stories about our late husbands and children. I like to think that we helped each other a bit that night.

We had much more in common than I would have believed. We were both widowed single moms with young children, and nurses. But, that was where the similarities ended. Her husband had no insurance policy. She had very little family support. She was working paycheck to paycheck to support her boys. I was humbled. I realized how much I had to be grateful for. And, frankly, I never saw life the same way after this experience.

This experience was a life-changing event for me. I had always prided myself on being an empathetic person, but I realize now that I had not really understood what being empathetic meant.

To truly be empathetic, you must be able to see beyond your own pain to be witness to the pain. I never looked at another person in the same way after this experience.

The cashier checking me out at the grocery store who seemed rude and in a hurry? Who knows what was going on in his day, week, life? Maybe he recently lost a spouse or a child. Maybe he has experienced compounded losses. I had no way of knowing what this man was going through. Who was I to judge him?

I thank death for very few things. The gift of empathy for my fellow man, and understanding that we all suffer in ways that arent always visible, are presents from death that I will always be grateful for.

practical work, improve his skill and make technical renovations.

there are competition and rivalry, we can learn something from other people.

Considering these, I think, working with people is beneficial to our career

development.
