英语作文 篇1
I think the essence of wisdom is emancipation, as far as possible, from the tyranny of the here and the now. We cannot help the egoism of our senses. Sight and sound and touch are bound up with our own bodies and cannot be made impersonal. Our emotions start similarly from ourselves. An infant feels hunger or distress, and is unaffected except by his own physical condition. Gradually with the years, his horizon widens, and, in proportion as his thoughts and feelings become less personal and less concerned with his own physical states, he achieves growing wisdom. This is of course a matter of degree. No one can view the world with complete justice, and if anyone could, he would hardly be able to remain alive. But it is possible to make a continual approach towards justice, on the one hand, by knowing things somewhat remote in time or space, and, on the other hand,by giving to such things their due weight in our feelings. It is this approach towards justice that constitutes growth in wisdom.
Can wisdom be taught? And, if it can, should the teaching of it be one of the aims of education? I should answer both these questions in the affirmative. I do not think that knowledge and morals ought to be too much separated. Even the best technicians should also be good citizens: and when I say
"citizens," I mean citizens of the world and not of this or that sect or nation. With every increase of knowledge and skill,wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase strengthens our capacity of realizing our purposes, and therefore strengthens our capacity for evil, if our purposes are unwise. The world needs wisdom as it has never needed it before: and if knowledge continues to increase, the world will need wisdom in the future even more than it does now.
我认为智慧的本质是解放，尽可能地从这里和现在的暴政中解放出来。我们不能帮助我们的感官利己主义。视觉和声音和触摸被束缚在我们自己的身体和不能被人的客观。我们的情绪同样从我们自己开始。一个婴儿感到饥饿或痛苦，并没有受到影响，除了他自己的身体状况。随着岁月的流逝，他的视野开阔了，而且，在他的思想和感情的比例愈来愈少人关心自己的身体状况，他获得越来越多的智慧。这当然是一个程度的问题。没有人能完全公正地去看世界，如果果有人能，他将很难存活。但是，一方面是可以不断地走向正义，一方面是因为在时间或空间上知道一些遥远的东西，另一方面，在我们的感情中给予这样的东西他们的应有的重量。正是这种对正义的态度，构成智慧的增长。
智慧能教吗？而且，如果它能，它的教学是教育的目标之一？我应该回答这些问题的肯定。我不认为知识和道德应该是太多的分离。即使是最好的技术人员也应该是好公民：当我说
“公民，”我的意思是世界公民，而不是这个或那个教派或国家的公民。每增加的知识和技能，智慧就变得越来越必要，因为每一个这样的增加都加强我们实现我们的目的的能力，并因此加强我们的邪恶能力，如果我们的目的是不明智的。世界需要智慧，因为它从未需要它：如果知识继续增加，世界将需
英语作文 篇2
话题：
1.学生校外租房住宿较普遍
2.校外租房住宿的原因
3.我的看法
参考范文1：
Nowadays living off campus enjoys great popularity among college students. Why, then, do students do so when they are provided with very modern apartments and good services on campus? The reasons can be listed as follows.
First, living off-campus can relieve the student from time consuming and energy consuming trivialities. Since people from different places have different personalities, habits, and interests, etc, some students think that it is difficult for them to get along with their pals. If they live off-campus, they don't have to spend time worrying about and thinking of how to get along with their roommates. In this way, they will have more time for their studies. Secondly, living off-campus can offer them a lot of freedom. Freed from the regulations of the university, they can do whatever they want in whatever time they like. For example, they can stay up late, reading books or surfing on the Internet. Lastly, living off campus can give them more privacy. If they live in a dormitory, they have no "human rights" so far as privacy is concerned.
I think living off-campus has both its benefits and shortcomings. If we live off campus we will not have the chance to experience the rich and colorful social life on campus. Away from our classmates, we will not have the chance to learn how to communicate with those who have divergent opinions. We will lose the chance to learn to cooperate with others.
参考范文2：
More and more students like to live off campus rather than on campus nowadays. There have been two opposing views about living off campus. One view states that renting a house outside campus is better. Another view, in contrast to the first one, believes that it is more harm than good to live off campus. I would like to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of renting a house off campus.
The advantages could be as follows. First of all, time management is easier if living off campus,because students can make their own plan of when to get up, when to sleep, when to have meal and when to study. Students can also burn the midnight oil when the study is very busy. Secondly, students can have a free living style. They can cook for themselves in their house. They can play games, watch movies, and do whatever they want in the house, and these are not possible, or at least not convenient when living on campus. Finally, renting a house could help students learn how to live by themselves, and help them learn to control their behaviours.
The disadvantages are also obvious. In the first place, it may be not safe for a student living outside the campus without the supervision or help from the staff of the university. When emergencies happen, students have no one to ask for help. In the second place, some students may not be able to control themselves very well. They may addict to computer games, or even gambling, because nobody would control them. Last but not least, it should be more expensive to rent a house and live outside the campus.
To sum up, it is hard to say living off campus is good or bad. It is reasonable to say that it depends on the characteristics of the student. If he/she can control himself/herself well enough, it may be a good idea to live off campus. Otherwise, living on campus may be a suitable way of living.
英语作文 篇3
Many people want to ask, what is the best time for sleep? Do we need to sleep early or late?
My opinion is to sleep early. Here is the reason why we should sleep early. First, it will make you more healthy. Sleep late would cause illness, long time not sleeping early will damage your body. Second, many people had said that if you don't get many time to sleep, and you sleep late would make black rim of the eye. That is not healthy also, and it's not beautiful. We should give our body a rest. Sleep is the best way. Well, there are certain time that is best for us to sleep. Sleep early is definitely better than sleep late.
Also, we should not keep awake the whole night. You don't feel the damage when you are young, but when you get older, the problem start to appear. Many disease of heart and lung started from not sleep at night. Many youth think it is fun to keep awake or sleep late. But I don't think so. Keep your body healthy. I strongly suggest to sleep early.
英语作文 篇4
投诉信：汤姆在一家商店购得劣质商品，遂与营业员交涉。但该营业员对他态度粗暴，不予受理，汤姆为此向经理写一封投诉信。
January 3,20xx
Dear Manager,
Now I am writing to tell you that I bought a TV set from your shop several days ago. But when I brought it home and turned it on, I found it didn’t work properly. So I took it back to the shop and told the assistant what had happened. To my surprise, your assistant didn’t help me to solve the problem. On the contrary, he shouted at me rudely and refused to examine it.
I know that your shop enjoys a high reputation of good service, so I bought the TV set in your shop. But today, I am sorry to find that such service should have happened in your shop and your assistant didn’t seriously think of the interests of customers.
I hope you will look into the matter and give me a reasonable explanation. I am waiting to know how you will deal with it. Thank you for your consideration and I am expecting an early reply.
Sincerely yours,
Tom

二. 必背句子
1.The author of this picture strives to send out an abundantly clear message that independence
is of supreme importance to our success.
2.Put it another way, without it, one could hardly/barely taste victory/ achieve their goal.
3.On my personal level（在我看来）, independence is truly the fundamental attribute（基本属性）of top performers, which separate the high achievers from the rest of the pack.
4. Take Steve Jobs, the late Apple company founder, a great innovator, who strikes to the belief for his life time that independence comes before victory, for instance. Without it, he couldn’t have built Apple into an incredibly successful company with a string of successes no one else can rival.
就以苹果公司的创始人，一个伟大的创新者，史蒂夫乔布斯为例，他一生都在追求着有独立才能有成功的信念。要是没有这样的思想，他是不可能把苹果公司建成一个取得了无数成功且无人能敌之公司的。
5.It is no exaggeration to say that the spirit of independence constitutes the very force that has pushed human civilization forward in the course of our history. Simply put, independence makes a person, an organization, and even a country, distinctively unique. Only those who are of qualitative uniqueness have opportunities to succeed.
6. The picture does reveal that lack of credibility is in large measure detrimental not only to the personal life ,but to the further development of the whole society.
7. In no country other than China, it has been said, is this problem more urgent and serious.
8. The past decade has witnessed a huge development in economy owing to some policy being carried out, bringing some problems at the same time, with the above one being the foremost.
9.Generally speaking, individuals, enterprises, organizations and even the whole society fail to notice the damaging consequences of dishonesty when undergoing the dramatic social transformation.
10 It is not hard to notice that without honesty/credibility, hardly can individuals or organizations make money, take profits, let alone obtain wealth in the long term, especially in this fiercely competitive modern world, I argue.
11 To be more specific, in a society that is being continuously transformed by material pursuits, far too more traditional core value，mattering much for one’s success but seemingly unimportant in the short run, are becoming something of the past.12 Confronting such a grim reality, we are supposed to be acutely aware of the potential consequences of not valuing honesty. It is imperative that this negative trend, posing a persistent and growing threat to our society, be curbed and harnessed by the corresponding laws and regulations. Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which people can enjoy their life to the uttermost.
面对如此严重之现实，我们应该敏感的注意到不重视诚信所带来的潜在后果。这一负面的潮流，正在给社会带来持续而不断增长的威胁，应该被相应的法律和法规所治理。只有在一个理性的，繁荣的，和健康的环境下我们才能见证一个理想的场景，人民能最大的享受他们的生活。
13. It is the modern virtues that spark and fuel the sustained social progress and continuous development of cultural when we are undergoing the ever most rapid economic growth.
14 In view of the importance and the complexity of such an positive phenomenon, we must treat it socially, economically and culturally and sustain it the very force that has propelled our civilization forward.
15 Few, if any, would deny the fact that if we do not do this, the nation（we）will be on a faster track of revival.(复兴) 16 The picture jumping into my sight is fairly thought-provoking（让人深思的）. As is shown in the picture above, two persons are throwing the rubbish into the river and the author’s real purpose is not the fact itself, but to lead us to find that
protecting the environment is of supreme importance.
17. The reasons for this problem, if the possible ones are enumerated one by one, may be numerous. Nevertheless I hold that the main/leading reasons derive from the given social and economic circumstances.
18 Now China has transformed its planned economy system into an initial socialist market economy system, which has brought about rapid economic growth, sustained social progress and continuous improvement of people’s living standard, while the market economy system is revealing its ugly face, such as energy crisis, environmental pollution, and so forth. 现在的中国已经从计划经济体制向了一个初级的社会主义市场经济体制，中国已经取得了快速的经济增长、持续的社会进步、人们生活水平不断地得到改善，然而，市场经济体制的负面影响正在凸现，诸如能源危机、环境污染，等等。
19 In summary, China still has a long way to go in this problem and accordingly, great efforts are essential to make in order to solve it. We will encounter no fewer difficulties and problems as we stride ahead, and there are bound to be new challenges. But we are confident in our ability to overcome them and arrive at our set goal eventually.
总的来讲，中国仍然有很长的路要走，因此为了解决这个问题必须做出极大的努力。当我们向前迈进的时候，我们将会面临很多困难，并且一定存在很多新的挑战，但我相信，我们有能力克服他们，最终胜利地达到我们的目标。
三、具体操作
考研中作文主题无非两大类：一个是好的主题，一个是坏的主题
好的主题就这么做：比如乐观（12年考研题目）
The picture jumping into my sight is fairly thought-provoking. As is shown in the picture above，there is a bottle which contains some water and two persons who has two contrary attitude, with one being positive and another negative. The author’s real purpose is not the fact itself, but to lead us to find that optimistic is of supreme importance to us and without it, hardly can we achieve any success.
Few, if any, would deny the fact that if we are optimistic , we will be on a faster track of revival. On my personal level,
optimistic is truly the fundamental attribute of top performers, which separate the high achievers from the rest of the pack. Take Steve Jobs, the late Apple company founder, a great innovator, who strikes to the belief for his life time that optimistic comes before victory, for instance. Without it, he couldn’t have built Apple into an incredibly successful company with a string of successes no one else can rival. Generally speaking, individuals, enterprises, organizations and even the whole society fail to notice the great importance of optimistic when undergoing the dramatic social transformation. It is the spirit of optimistic that sparks and fuels the sustained social progress and continuous development of cultural when we are undergoing the ever most rapid economic growth. .It is no exaggeration to say that the spirit of optimistic constitutes the very force that has pushed human civilization forward in the course of our history
In view of the importance and the complexity of such a good quality, we are supposed to be acutely aware of the potential benefit of optimistic and continue to sustain it the very force that has pushed us forward. Only in this way can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which we can enjoy their life to the uttermost.
坏的主题，比如污染 这么操作：
The picture jumping into my sight is fairly thought-provoking. As is shown in the picture above，there are two persons who are throwing the rubbish into the river and the river is full of garbage. The author’s real purpose is not the fact itself, but to lead us to find that pollution is in large measure detrimental not only to our personal life ,but to the further development of the whole society.
Few, if any, would deny the fact that individuals, enterprises, organizations and even the whole society fail to notice the damaging consequences of dishonesty when undergoing the dramatic social transformation. The reasons for this problem, if the possible ones are enumerated one by one, may be numerous. Nevertheless I hold that the main reasons derive from the given social and economic circumstances. Now China has transformed its planned economy system into an initial socialist market economy system, which has brought about rapid economic growth, sustained social progress and continuous

自从１９７９年中国对外开放以来，北京在吸引投资合资企业方面已取得了
显著成绩。根据图示，不同企业的投资者来自２６个国家和地区。香港的投资额居第一位，占总额的44%。 日本占19.2%，居第二位。美国为第三，占16%。
普遍认为，北京从外部投资中受益匪浅。首先，大量合资企业已经建立，这
就大大促进了“首都经济”的发展。其次，外资企业为北京市民提供了许多就业机会。这又缓解了北京的下岗工人问题。最后，由于北京和沿海开放城市一样享有许多优惠政策，所以高科技产业在首都迅速发展。
至于吸引外资的措施，我认为有如下几点。一方面，我们应该专门努力来改
善投资环境。另一方面，我们应该抓住机遇把目前的外资企业管理好。

无可否认有奖竞猜能够充分发挥人的积极性。在获奖的强烈愿望鼓舞下， 人们会全力以赴取得最大的成功。此外，他将做出特别的努力来采取有效的措施以便达到他们的目的。因此，在一次有奖的比赛中会取得最好的成绩。
然而事物总是一分为二的。奖金的激励并不总是能产生预想的结果。总会有人会不择手段的获取他们所要的东西。例如：一名不能克制奖金诱惑的参赛者可能会服用。而绝望的参赛者眼中只有奖金，这可能会导致不良的行为。
依我看，解决的办法是对参赛者进行道德教育。这会有助于参赛者理解“友谊第一，比赛第二”的口号。这样，奖金会在任何比赛中旗更好的作用。总的来说，我认为，奖金是好事。

第一篇 我们正在起跑点
We’re Just Beginning
Charles F Kettering
“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”
I do not know who wrote these words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a carves a from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want itwhere we will spend the The past is gone and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human
“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节。”
我不知道这段文字是谁写的，我一直很喜欢这段文字并用它们来提醒自己，那就是未来操之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子，就会有丰收。倘若种子长的不良且长满杂草，我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种，就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染。我们应关心未来，因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的。我们的所作所为都会影响未来。只要我们体会的出来，每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里，也可能是在我们的事业中。我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。

A Key to Happiness
To help others, you don’t have to be an expert in the art; the main thing is the You may be and , wasteful and , but if you help, produces nothing but good. The one you are trying to help knows your ed and encouraged by the magic of your sharing. In nearly every case, your simple to help, into action, produce the good But perhaps the greatest good is the good that you yourself get out of the attempt. Service to others delivers more joy to you than the joy you deliver to them. In doing good, you free yourself from the terrible burden of self; you escape from yourself into a clean world of joy and light. The good you simply try to do, regardless of the outcome, is always a success inside yourself.
Unselfish giving is your most efficient for happiness, for you have you began the project.
想去帮助旁人，你不必是这值种艺术的能干的专家，主要的是你有没有一颗助人的心。你也许是粗陋而笨拙的，徒劳又没有成就，但是如果你真诚地想帮助旁人，你的尝试必然产生善果。你所打算帮助的人晓得了你的意向，会因你公担困苦的魔力而坚强振作起来。差不多每一次，你的单纯的助人愿望，在化为行动之后，都会产生所寻的善果。但是最大的善果，也许还是你自己从这项尝试中所获得的益处。在帮助旁人的时候，你本身所获得的快乐要比你带给那些人的快乐为多。在行善之中，你便摆脱了以自我为本位的可怕重担，而进入一个快乐和光明的清新世界。只要你去试行为善，不论其结果如何，再你的心中都永远会是一项成功。
无私的给与是获得快乐的最有效率的方法。因为如果能够做到这一点，你所拥抱的已经不是自我，而是永恒；你已经感觉到生命的存在，而现在的妳的世界也比你开始行善之前还要开阔。

第三篇 劳动之乐
The Joy of Labor
Wise men of ancient times and successful men of today have told us that is sweet. Its reward is not material gain but what one becomes by it. Work does much more for us than just giving us a living; it gives us our life and the reason for living. The real joys of life come from doing something and doing it well.
All of us hope for success, but it is and hard to keep. It nearly always away from one like sand through the fingers, like water through a , unless it is held tight by hard work, day by day, night by night, year in year out. Everyone who fears failure should work harder and harder with a faithful heart as long as he lasts.
古时的贤达和今天的成功者都告诉我们劳动是甜美的。劳动的报酬不是物质的获得而是人们籍由劳动所达到的成就。工作所给与我们的岂止是混口饭吃；它赋予我们生命以及活下去的理由。人生真正的乐趣就是把所做的事做好。
我们都希望成功，但成功却是虚幻且难以维持的。除非你能日日夜夜、年复一年地努力紧守成功，否则它几乎总会从你身边溜走，就如沙粒从指尖滑落，或像水从漏桶流失一样。凡事害怕失败的人应该在有生之年，一心一意地更加努力奋发才是。
labor ['leib] n. 劳动；工作 the Labour's Day/ Labor Day/ May Day 劳动节 illusive [i'lju:siv] adj. 错觉的；幻影的；迷惑人的
slip [slip] vi. 滑动；滑倒; 闪开
leaky ['li:ki] adj. 漏的；有漏洞的
pail [peil] n. 桶，水桶
第四篇：青春
Youth
of the emotions, it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.
Youth means the . This often exists in a man of sixty more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by Years may the skin, but to give up wrinkles the soul.

青春不只是人生的一个阶段；它是是一种心境。它不是指红润的脸颊，红色的嘴唇和柔软弯曲的膝盖；而是指意志力、丰富的想象力、充沛的感情。它是生命深泉之清新。
青春意味着勇气胜过胆怯，冒险犯难胜过贪图安逸。60岁的人往往要比20岁的小伙子更持有这种精神。没有人只因活了若干年而变老。我们变老是因我们抛弃了自己的理想。
岁月可使皮肤产生皱纹，但是放弃了热诚则会消蚀灵魂。忧虑、怀疑、缺乏自信、恐惧和绝望-----这些都会让我们垂头丧气而且使成长的精神化为乌有。
每个人不管是60还是16，心中都有一股好奇心，对星星及星状的东西会产生一种惊喜之情，不畏惧任何挑战，对未知的事物有着孩子般用不冷却的热望，以及游戏人生的喜悦之情。
你有信心，自信和希望时，就是年轻；而你若怀疑、恐

For the sake of other men
Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men—above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the unknown by a built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how I must by thesense that I have borrowed too heavily from the work of other men.

我们在这个世界上的处境是奇妙的。每个人都是来做一次短暂的访问，不知道是为了什么，不过有时似乎也会觉察到有某种目的。
但是从平日的生活来看，有一件事情我们是很清楚的：我们是为别人而活----尤其是为了那些我们的快乐与否取决于他们的微笑及幸福的人而活。同时，我们也为无数不知名的人而活，他们的命运借由同胞之情的维系与我们结合在一起。每天，很多次，我都会意识到我的肉体生活和精神生活很大程度上是建立在那些活着的和死去的人们的工作之上的，意识到我必须诚挚地、竭尽全力地努力去回报我所得到的东西。我经常心绪不宁，感觉自己从别人的工作里承袭了太多，这种感觉让我惴惴不安。
总体上在我看来，从客观的角度，没完没了地思考自己为什么会存在，或者是生命有什么意义，是非常愚蠢的行为。不过，每个人都有一些理想，来指引着自己的抱负和辨别是非。始终在我面前闪耀着光芒，并且让我充满生活乐趣的理想是善、美和真理。对我来说，以舒适和享乐为目标的生活从来没有吸引力。 以这些目标为基础建立起来的一套伦理观点只能满足一群牲畜的需要。

范子盛自幼颈椎以下全部瘫痪麻痹，头不能抬、四肢不能移，而且长年频繁的肺炎高烧和无数次病危，让人们都断定他难以存活。但这棵顽强的生命之树至今已有34圈年轮，而且成为霍金式的传奇人物。他追求“生如夏花一样绚烂”的境界，刻苦自学英语，博览群书，成为一名具有世界影响的顶尖翻译家。他钻研经济理论，自修北大光华管理学院MBA全套教程，成为两届岳阳市市长高参，并被世界银行遴选为高级翻译，成为兼及翻译和经济的国际专家。
他那趴下的身躯大写了一个“人”字，他那孱弱的生命奏响了激昂的最强音！中国翻译界泰斗、《英语世界》创刊人兼主编陈羽纶先生由衷赞叹他：趴在地上一堆肉，立起来一座山
过去属于死神，未来属于你自己
范子盛的父亲范长德和母亲高美华，均为位于湘西的中国航空第二集团原310厂工程师。
1974年出生的范子盛，不到8个月就患上了最严重的小儿麻痹症，自幼颈椎以下全部瘫痪麻痹，是趴在地上慢慢长大的。8岁了，见比自己大两岁的哥哥念到了小学三年级，他成天叨叨着：“我要读书！我要读书！”母亲不由热泪横流：“你趴在地上一堆肉，如何念书哟？”子盛执著地说：“别人能念书，我也能啊！”范长德心如刀割，猛揩一把眼泪：“我们要让他活出快乐，活出人的尊严。工作再忙，也要背他上学！”
范长德每天清早5点起床为小儿子洗脸漱口，然后草草吃完早餐，背他去学校；中午12点，匆匆赶到学校把他背回家，下午上班之前，又赶紧把儿子背去学校；下午下班再去背回家来。范子盛除了手指，其余哪里都不能动，不用说自己起、坐，就是手臂也要靠人帮他摆在课桌上。坐久了会重心偏移，自己不能调整，只有任其倒下，摔得头破血流是常事。
上课了，班主任王玉珍老师说：“同学们请把身子坐直。”范子盛指指自己的书包：“老师，请帮我绑上。”王老师略感不解，从他书包里掏出一根长长的布带。范子盛肯定地说：“请您用布带把我绑在椅子的靠背上，我就不会东倒西歪了。”王老师犹疑着照办了。范子盛又轻轻叫了：“老师。”他指指书包。王老师从里面掏出一根鞋带。“请您用鞋带把铅笔缠在我手指之间，我要写好字。”
经过几年的“捆绑教育”，范子盛从小学到初二下学期，他的成绩始终是年级第一名。
不久，范子盛因胸骨严重变形，挤压肺部，肺炎时有发生，一天竟然昏迷过去，好不容易才抢救过来。离开医院时，主治医生告诉范长德：范子盛捆绑在座位上听课做作业，并非上策，长此以往，他将彻底失去自理能力和免疫力。他需要锻炼，才能延续生命。
初二期末，范子盛哭闹着被迫告别学校。1990年，310厂从湘西搬迁到岳阳，改名长江动力机械厂。之后，范子盛在家一边治病，一边学习摸爬走路，一边自学。结果，初中、高中两次毕业会考，他都取得了年级前三名的特优成绩。这时，他梦想着考入大学。
可是，1993年6月，市招办和省招办拒绝了他的报考要求，其理由是即便
上线，大学也不会录取生活完全不能自理的他。他暴躁、愤怒、绝望，以绝食抗争，多次自杀，父母一次次把他从死神魔爪下解救
1993年国庆节，范长德为了冲淡儿子的痛苦，带他参观书法展览。范子盛立即爱上了书法艺术，决心学习。回到家里，他就开始临摹柳帖。因为他的脊柱严重侧弯，手也无法抬举，他就趴在地上，用左手托住右手，一笔一画，全神贯注地去写。不久，他写出一笔苍劲古朴的柳体字，获得湖南省第8届书法展览金奖。
1996年春节前，岳阳漫天飞雪，范长德走上街头，把儿子写的350多副春联摆放在塑料薄膜上，任由陌生的市民挑选。市民们围住了他，觉得那些春联内容每一副都别具一格，字体雄健脱俗。不少人出价购买。
一位老先生指着一副春联：“我最欣赏这副，可惜右联左上角不太干净，那儿好像有污渍。”范长德眼睛湿了：“您看清楚了，那不是污渍，是血渍，我儿子的血渍。他是个重度残疾人，一副春联趴在地上写一个上午。有时突然晕厥，头撞在地上失去知觉，血就沾染在纸上了。我让他写春联不是想赚钱，而是想让儿子看到自己的价值，顽强活下去。”结果，那老先生小心翼翼卷起那副春联，悄悄放下一张百元纸币走了。
五天过去，范长德把那一小袋零零碎碎的450余元钞票递到范子盛手上，激动地说：“这是你写的春联卖的钱，大家都赞不绝口呢。你的诚实劳动结出了甜美的果实，你一样可以实现人生价值。”范子盛忍不住嚎啕大哭：“您说得对。我要用自己诚实的劳动养活自己！”他想起了雪莱的一句名言：过去属于死神，未来属于你自己！
选择最美的姿势翱翔，我的青春不是梦
尽管自己是一只折翅的苍鹰，但范子盛坚信知识可以改变自己的命运，知识就是自己的有力翅膀，能够让自己在精神的苍穹下以最美的姿势翱翔。
范子盛开始博览群书，如饥似渴地汲取知识的甘霖。看书对普通人轻而易举，可对他却是一项艰难的工程。他首先必须把书安置好，旁边放着词典等工具书，然后他调整自己合适的坐姿，开始阅读。要翻页时，他把特制的筷子含在嘴里，筷子的另一头缠着针尖，用针尖挑动书页。遇到不认识的字或者不懂的地方，他要查阅工具书，就得花费更大的气力
这样看书，范子盛不一会儿就疲累不堪。一次，他正准备翻页，突然身体一软栽倒在地，那特制的筷子也折断了，刺得他脸上鲜血直流范子盛看书很慢很慢，可他细嚼慢咽，深思熟虑，一点点把知识吃进自己的肚子，这反而使他博闻强识、触类旁通。
范子盛对经济很感兴趣。他自修完了大学财贸专业课程，熟读了北大光华管理学院MBA全套教程，写了几十篇时政文章和经济论文，被众多新闻媒体刊播。岳阳市两届市长都聘请范子盛为市政府高参。
与此同时，范子盛把翻译作为自己主要发展方向。他拥有过目不忘的惊人记忆力以及很强的语言结构逻辑推理能力，以每天熟记20个英语单词的速度，花五年时间掌握了近20000个英语单词，拥有了阅读英语原文的能力。他订阅了中国翻译界权威的《英语世界》杂志，对上面的每一篇文章都逐字逐句予以钻研。 1998年冬，范子盛将一篇译作直接寄给了中国翻译界泰斗、《英语世界》主编陈羽纶先生。很快，该作品发表在1999年第一期《英语世界》上。陈羽纶先生
来信激赏：“您的译文贯彻的是‘信、达、雅’原则。我们刊物聘请您为本刊特约翻译家，请定期惠赐译作。”
之后，范子盛连续在《英语世界》、《世界博览》、《纽约美洲文汇周刊》等权威报刊发表了25篇译文。他收到了350余封海内外读者、外文作者来信。
有个叫琼斯的美国女银行家趁出席新加坡全球金融大会时，特意绕道中国，辗转找到范子盛家里。当时，范子盛正趴在地毯上，用布条缠着手指和钢笔，一个字一个字“雕刻”译文，并不时把筷子含在嘴里——筷子的另一头缠着缝衣针，艰难地翻阅《牛津词典》。
琼斯见状，不由热泪盈眶：“我原以为您是金融学院的教授，没想到，真的没想到啊！您把我的金融心得用中文传授给了全世界近14亿华人。请接受我诚挚的敬意！”琼斯告别时，站在范子盛房门口久久没有挪步。她看到他的床头墙上钉着一幅中文条幅，上面写着挺拔有力的毛笔字：“我的青春不是梦！”
20xx年元月3日，范子盛收到琼斯从纽约寄赠的一本精美画册《轮椅上的“太空几何之舞”》。范子盛得知，霍金在轮椅上“囚禁”了40年，全身只有面部肌肉会动，演讲和问答只能通过语音合成器来完成，可他却成为本世纪国际伟人之一。他暗暗下定决心——我要向霍金学习，战胜自己，成为一名优秀翻译家！然而，这年9月，他患上了严重的大叶型肺炎，生命垂危，虽然经过全力抢救活了下来，但行动能力和免疫力几乎丧失。离开医院时，医生嘱咐范长德：“你的儿子离死亡只差一小步了，各种严重的并发症随时都可能发生多给他吃点好的吧。他如果有什么心愿，你们做父母的要尽量满足他，以免留下遗憾”
20xx年8月16日，范子盛意外地收到中国人民大学出版社编审熊鲜菊的来信。原来他们买断了美国纽约世界著名经济学家米尔顿·科特勒《慧眼看中国——米尔顿·科特勒营销文丛》一书的中文版权，一时找不到既懂英语又通中文，同时熟悉当代商贸营销的“三通翻译”，陈羽纶先生便推荐了范子盛。
范长德夫妇又喜又忧，喜的是儿子终于找到了用武之地，忧的是儿子身体衰竭，他有承担这个任务的起码体能吗？经过权衡，他们觉得应以延续儿子生命为重，便力劝儿子回绝这个约请。但范子盛坚决不同意。
范长德看着奄奄一息却满脸执著的儿子，突然问妻子：“医生不是叮嘱我们尽力满足儿子的心愿吗？无疑，出版一本大部头译著，就是他最大的心愿。”高美华说：“老范，你是想断送儿子的残生啊？”范长德说：“儿子有权利享受人生，可是，凡是正常人能享受的，他都无法享受；唯一属于他的就是翻译事业的成功梦想；如果残酷地剥夺这仅有的乐趣，这种‘活着’，于他又有什么意义呢？”于是，高美华也含泪赞同儿子接受出版社的约请。
乞力马扎罗的雪与风干的豹子
20xx年9月6日，范子盛肺炎复发，高烧40℃，不得不送进医院抢救，并接受输氧。这天，恰好是熊鲜菊编审约定与他电话长谈的日子。范长德向护士长求情，接一部分机搁在儿子的床头。高美华在家里接到熊编审电话后，便请她把电话打到医院抢救室去。
范子盛原本就握不住话筒，只得由父亲握着，贴住他的耳朵。熊编审说：“范子盛先生，不是约好今天上午在家听电话么？怎么在外面？”范子盛吃力地说：“抱歉，熊老师，我一个要好的朋友突然病了。”熊编审奇怪地问：“您怎么气喘吁吁
呢？”范子盛巧妙地回答：“不，喘不过气来的是我的朋友。我正守在他床头。”熊编审说：“这部重要著作，最关键之处在于广大中文读者需要在译著中领略世界最前沿的商业营销精微我们试着和好几家重点大学的英语教授联系过，他们都觉得力不从心婉拒了。您能行吗？”范子盛牙一咬：“没有金刚钻，不揽瓷器活！”熊编审当即表示：“请您试译一篇文章。如果可以，再和您签约。原文5日之内寄到，您必须一周之内交稿，时间以邮戳为准。”范子盛鼻孔里插着氧气管，他用含混不清而又十分果断的语气说：“一言为定！”
经过医生全力抢救，高烧终于退下去，输氧暂时停止了。那篇外文一到，范子盛就趴在病床上，一个字一个字地翻译起来。时间稍长，他呕吐不止，护士只得一次又一次叫来医生抢救。医生说：“你都这个样子了，用得着这样吗？”范子盛回答：“医生叔叔，这是我人生的考试！我错过了高考，不能再错过这次新机遇。如果就此放弃，我活着还有什么意义呢？”
结果，范子盛用五天时间完成了试译稿。他冲父亲大叫：“爸爸，快去发信！他们是要看邮戳的啊！”
不久，范长德从邮局拿回一个特快专递。拆开，是一本英文著作，扉页里夹着熊编审一封短信：“范先生：您的文字优美、准确、精炼。尤为可贵的是洋溢着浓烈的时代精神和专业气息。您可能不知道，这篇文章可是20xx年广州外语外贸学院招收博士研究生的专用原文啊。我正式把米尔顿·科特勒先生的大作交给您了。我们要求交稿的期限最长不超过两年。”
译著完成三分之一时，范子盛的书房增添了一张家庭病床。他极度衰弱的身子趴在一堆被絮上。床边搁着一张锯短了腿脚的小桌，桌上摆放一摞稿纸。原著被拆开。儿子译完一页，父亲再递上一页。床头置放一座输液的不锈钢支架，其上端永远吊着三两只药瓶，针头插在范子盛的左臂上，药液悄无声息地滴入他的静脉只要是清醒状态，他缠着钢笔的手指就在稿纸上蠕动，缓慢而执拗。有时，他微微闭着双眼，陷入了沉思。他的思绪与米尔顿·科特勒的思维融为了一体。
米尔顿·科特勒的著作中提到“坦桑尼亚乞力马扎罗饭店投资案例”，范子盛一接触这个地名，马上联想到海明威的名篇《乞力马扎罗的雪》：那是一座海拔一万九千七百一十英尺的长年积雪的高山。据说它是非洲最高的一座山。在西高峰的近旁，有一具已经风干冻僵的豹子的尸体。豹子到这样高寒地方来干什么，没有人作过解释”
范子盛深受启发：在他的人生中，无疑横亘着一座难以逾越的雪山。那天，在短暂的半昏迷状态中，他清晰地与那只风干的豹子“邂逅”
父亲范长德发觉不对劲，慌乱地摇着儿子的肩膀，“子盛，你醒醒啊！”母亲哭叫着给医生拨了电话：“快一点！我儿子又昏迷啦！”医生和护士朝他的心脏部位直接注射药物刺激搏动，然后做着人工呼吸。大约十分钟后，范子盛苏醒过来，长长地哼了一声。
医生无可奈何地望着他，说：“你非要写下去不可吗？你应当知道，这种突然的昏迷和抢救，你办这个家庭病床后已经发生过21次了。我担心，某一天你再也苏醒不过来。就你的体能而言，各种指数都低于维持生命运转的最低指数。”范子盛说：“没事。我只是感到疲劳，打了个盹儿。我记得很清楚，我是伴随盐水瓶长大的。死亡对于我，并不可怕。刚才我去看了乞力马扎罗山的积雪，遇上了那头风干的不知疼痛的豹子”
20xx年5月，范子盛终于完成了35万字的译著，出版社赞不绝口。同年6
月，该书顺利开机付印，发行至中国、美国等10多个国家和地区的华文图书市场。251家跨国企业将此书列为“营销必读”。范长德代儿子领到第一笔4000元稿费，立即去商场买回一台飞利浦组装电脑，捧到儿子面前，说：“这是你用心血和生命换来的。你一连几个月都没有出过房门了。你用钢笔写字太艰难，手指因为长时间用绳子缠着，多处地方溃烂。为翻译那本书，你每天趴在桌上和地上10多个小时，膝盖和胳膊肘也溃烂了。你该换笔啦！”
啸傲九天：向坐在轮椅上的中国翻译家致敬
读博士的哥哥从北京赶来，给范子盛演示了电脑基本操作。但是，要熟练操作电脑，排除随时可能发生的故障，真是太难了！范子盛的手指僵硬无力，而且颤抖不止，无法准确地敲打按键，连开机关机也力不从心。
范子盛找了一根筷子，把一头掐在手里，另一头缠上一小块圆形橡皮，然后用筷子凿击开关，凿击按键。苦练三个月，电脑渐渐听从使唤了。他用拼音打字，文章打成了，就按照报纸杂志的邮箱地址发送。他学会了上网搜索软件，下载了《金山词霸》，从此不再需要趴在地上艰难地翻阅沉如砖头的《牛津词典》等工具书。
半年后，他制作了一个键盘使用软件装上去后，屏幕右上角就会出现一个键盘缩略图，用鼠标点击一下，相应的'英语字母和汉语拼音字母就跳到了文档上。一年后，范子盛开了个人博客。他将自己16年来创作的200余万字，分成26个栏目搬上博客，赢得了很高的点击率。
20xx年2月8日，范子盛打开自己的电子邮箱，意外发现一封由叶燕斐发来的英语邮件：世界银行中国项目发展中心急需一名英语高级翻译，叶燕斐读过范子盛的译著《慧眼看中国——米尔顿·科特勒营销文丛》，希望他参加他们的应聘考试。
大名鼎鼎的叶燕斐是世界银行资深商务环境专家、中国银监会研究局副局长。范子盛立即表示应聘。叶燕斐先生解释：“这是一种国际标准的严格考试。自从我们发布招聘广告以来，报名者已达3000名，我们仅仅聘请3名。”范子盛回复：“我乐意接受任何考验！”
2月12日上午9点，电话响了。一个澳大利亚人用英语和范子盛讲了两分钟，然后让他10分钟后打开自己的邮箱，在一个小时后交出答卷。
挂掉电话，范子盛立刻打开邮箱，考试分两个内容：一是用英语写一份自传；二是将附寄的一篇英文传说译成中文，揣摩该中心服务的宗旨。结果，范子盛只花10分钟就把小传写成了，他特意强调自己是个健康的人，他的体能完全胜任翻译的任务。
至于译文，他发现那是一个日本民间传说：一只壁虎被钉子钉在木屋的墙壁上，漫长的十年后依然存活，全凭同类无私的救助范子盛马上意识到，中心是开发扶贫组织，宗旨应该是给世界贫困地区提供国际人道主义援助，他轻松地交上了完美的答卷。
范子盛成为该中心特聘高级翻译后，翻译了《旅游业和世界银行》等20余万字重要文献。20xx年8月，该中心在新加坡召开全球金融巨头联席大会，叶燕斐先生来函邀请范子盛赴会，热情洋溢地说：“您的译文不仅准确、精致，成为世界银行永久保存的重要经济文献，而且充满着强烈的国际人道主义精神和人间大爱，屡次受到联合国、世界银行的高度赞誉！”

高中英语作文范文：坚持就是胜利
坚持就是胜利
永远不要去预支明天的痛苦,"活在今天"是享受生活的最好方式!
I have been through the depths of poverty and sickness. When people ask me what has kept me going through the troubles that come to all of us, I always reply: "I stood yesterday. I can stand today. And I will not permit myself to think about what might happen tomorrow."
I have known want and struggle and anxiety and despair. I have always had to work beyond the limit of my strength. As I look back upon my life, I see it as a battlefield strewn3) with the wrecks of dead dreams and broken hopes and shattered illusions-a battle in which I always fought with the odds tremendously4) against me, and which has left me scarred and bruised5) and maimed6) and old before my time.
Yet I have no pity for myself; no tears to shed over the past and gone sorrows; no envy for the women who have been spared all I have gone through. For I have lived. They only existed.
I have drunk the cup of life down to its very dregs7). They have only sipped the bubbles on top of it. I know things they will never know. I see things to which they are blind.
It is only the women whose eyes have been washed clear with tears who get the broad vision that makes them little sisters to all the world.I have learned in the great University of Hard Knocks a philosophy that no woman who has had an easy life ever acquires. I have learned to live each day as it comes and not to borrow trouble by dreading the morrow8). It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us. I put that dread from me because experience has taught me that when the time comes that I so fear, the strength and wisdom to meet it will be given me. Little annoyances9) no longer have the power to affect me. After you have seen
your whole edifice10) of happiness topple11) and crash in ruins about you, it never matters to you again that a servant forgets to put the doilies12) under the finger bowls13), or the cook spills 14) the soup.
I have learned not to expect too much of people, and so I can still get happiness out of the friend who isn't quite true to me or the acquaintance15) who gossips16). Above all, I have acquired a sense of humour, because there were so many things over which I had either to cry or laugh. And when a woman can joke over her troubles instead of having hysterics17), nothing can ever hurt her much again.
I do not regret the hardships I have known, because through them I have touched life at every point I have lived. And it was worth the price I had to pay.
我曾经经历贫穷和病痛的深渊!每每人们问起我,是什么力量让我克服这些人人都会面临的困难,我总是这样回答:"我熬得过昨天,就熬得过今天。而且我决不让自己去考虑明天将会发生什么。"
我体会过希望、挣扎、焦虑与绝望的真正含义。我总是超越身体极限地努力工作着。回首我过去的生活,那就像一个战场,里面充满了破碎的梦想、希望与幻想。这场极不利于我的战争令我遍体鳞伤、提前衰老。
然而我并未因此悲悯自己;我没有为过去流泪与伤悲;我丝毫不去嫉妒那些从未经历过我的痛苦的女人们。因为我真正地活过一回,而她们,也只是生存着而已。
我品尝了生命之杯的每一滴,包括那些渣滓,而她们仅仅只是吮到了杯口的泡沫而已。我的所知、所见,她们永远不会知晓,不会看到。
只有被泪水洗过眼睛的女人们,才能有更宽广的视野,这使她们能与整个世界的人们形同姐妹。
我在充满艰辛曲折的社会的大学中,曾领悟到一条哲学真理,那是养尊处优的女人们无法体会到的。我学会了"活在今天,而不去庸人自扰地预支明天的烦恼。"正是对未来的担忧使我们怯懦,我之所以不去理会,是因为经验告诉我,每当我感到如此害怕的时候,上天赐予的力量和智慧就会如约而至。那些小小的烦恼再也无法左右我的行为--当你亲眼目睹所有幸福的生活在你面前轰然崩塌之后,你就再也不会去在乎那些诸如仆人忘了在洗指盆下加垫、厨师不小心弄洒菜汤这类琐事了。
我学会了不要对人们期望过高,因此我仍能从那些对我并不真心的朋友或是爱道人长短的熟人那里获得快乐。最重要的,我已经培养出了一种幽默感,因为以前有太多的事情让我非喜即悲。当一个女人在困难面前淡然一笑,而不再歇斯底里时,已经没有什么能够伤害到她了。
我对经历过的困难一点也不后悔,正因为有了这些经历,才让我真实地触摸到了生活的方方面面。为此,我的付出是值得的。

第一篇 量体裁衣：具体问题具体分析
Directions: Study the following

This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on one's desires,
while
The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from
universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of
graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a
In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric.
A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.
译文：
这幅画很可笑，但引人注目。一位身体庞大的顾客在裁缝仔细地为他量尺寸准备做衣服时，手里却拿着一块小得令人绝望的衣料。这幅画告诉我们，一个人在执行任务的过程中必须考虑到实际情况，仅从主观意愿出发而不顾眼前的事实，是不可能成功的。
当前大学生的就业率使我们意识到进行合理思考的重要性，每年有大约300万大学生从学校毕业，寻找工作，他们中的很多人并没有找到一份适合自己的工作，有一个原因是没有足够的就业机会提供给数量如此庞大的毕业生。但除此而外，过高的自我估计也是可能的原因之一。
为了能够实现未来目标，一个人必须做出合理的决定，并做好相应的准备。比如一个志在成为外科医生的学生，就必须确保自己有临床实习的机会和足够的知识，换句话说，顾客在购买衣料前必须先量好准确的尺寸，一个大块头是无法穿上一小块布料的.
范文2
：
In the cartoon we can see a large person being measured by a tailor to get suitable clothes made. Anything to be done must be measured in advance so that we are able to find
a proper way to do it. If the tailor does not take measurements of the man, then he would
This same principle applies to solving any other problem. Firstly, when we want to know the reality of something, we must describe it like it is, getting rid of our prejudices and exaggerations, so that we can have an unbiased view. Secondly, the object should be analyzed in a concrete way so that we can grasp the reasons and rules of it. Thirdly, we must adapt our approach to solving a problem, for each situation is different from the
others.
The cartoon implies different meanings to different people. A teacher should adopt different teaching methods according to the students in the class; a doctor should prescribe different treatments according to the patient's symptoms; a farmer should seed different plants according to the various conditions of the earth. From a philosophical point of view, dissimilar problems should be approached differently. Good results come from attentive analysis of a problem.
译文：
从图中我们可以看到，一个裁缝正在给一位身材高大的人量身定做一件合适的衣服。在做任何事情都应该预先筹划，以便找到恰当的解决办法。如果这个裁缝不为这个人量尺寸，他就不能为他做出一件合适的衣服。
这个道理同样适合解决其它任何问题。首先，当我们要了解某事的真相时，我们必须如实地对其描述，排除任何偏见与夸张，以便我们能够得到真实的情况。其次，具体事物要具体分析，这样
我们才能够抓住事物的规律。最后，事物的状态是不断变化的，所以我们应当“因地制宜，同时制宜。”总之，我们要从不同的角度看待问题。
图画的内涵对不同的人有着不同的意义。对于教师来说，面对不同的学生要采取不同的教学方法；对于医生来说，要根据病人的不同病情采用相应的治疗方法；对于农民来说，面对不同的土地状况要种植不同的作物。从哲学角度来说，具体问题要具体分析。好的结果总是来自对问题的仔细分析.
第二篇 金字塔是由一块块石头积累成的

One glance at a pyramid can leave the viewer in awe of its beauty and splend or. Upon
closer examination, however, one might be surprised to discover that such a grandiose
Most people are familiar with the proverb: Rome was not built in a day. An object as grand as a pyramid is likewise not so quickly or easily constructed. Just as the greatness of the city of Rome is due to the combination of its smaller parts, a pyramid is only as strong as the stones it is comprised of. The image of a pyramid reminds us that great
success
History proves that many famous artists and scientists are only successful because of their continued efforts, even after numerous failures. One might recall Leonardo DaVinci's
drawing of an egg, Wang Xi Zhi practicing handwriting, or Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb, for example. The fable that tells us that even water can eventually pierce through stone also points to the importance of patience and diligence. We should take such stories and histories into account and remember the importance of fundamentals; remember that one can build a pyramid only if one is willing to work with small stones. People would be wise to abandon rash inclinations and instead try in earnest. Perseverance is sure to leadto success. 译文：
瞥一眼金字塔，看见其美丽壮观的景象，敬畏之情就会油然而生。然而，走近仔细再看，人们
会很吃惊地发现如此宏伟的建筑皆由普通的石头砌成。
大多数人都熟悉这个谚语：罗马不是一天建成的。像金字塔这样壮丽雄伟的建筑也同样不能如此快地轻易建成。就像罗马城的伟大是由各个小的部分组合起来的一样，金字塔也如构建它的石头一样坚固。金字塔的形象告诉我们伟大的成功实际上就是集腋成裘。
历史上，许多有名的艺术家和科学家都是由于他们不断的努力才获得成功的，尽管屡屡失败他们也在所不惜。例如，人们可能会想到莱昂纳多·达芬奇画蛋，王羲之练习书法和托马斯·爱迪生发明电灯的故事。“水滴石穿”这个寓言也喻意耐心和勤奋的重要性。我们应该重视这些故事和历史，牢记打好基础的重要性；且还要记住人只有在他愿意堆砌小石块时才能建造起金字塔。人们摒弃急燥冒进并代之以严肃认识是明智之举。坚持不懈必定会走向成功。

：
We can see in the picture, a great Egyptian Pyramid towering magnificently into the sky. At first sight visitors may be overwhelmed by the pyramid and cannot help but marvel at the huge stones in front of them — the embodiment of patience and endurance of an Ancient Egyptian Civilization. During this extended period of building, one can only imagine the amount of patience and endurance that was required by the people before any of this
greatness
The stones of the pyramid remind us of a famous saying: “Rome was not built in a day,” that is, great things are never done without much time and labor.
As human beings, we are eager to win merits for ourselves. It is, however, onlypatience as well as endurance that can help us to succeed in performing great deeds. In the case of Si Maqian, without those brilliant qualities mentioned above, he could never attain such great achievements. Difficulties are unavoidable, unless we do not engage in anything at all. In the end, it is patience and e
Some people would give up halfway in the face of what seems to be insurmountable. Men accomplish everything until we get the final result. The reason is very simple: if one attempts to climb a mountain, however high he reaches, he has failed if he does not reach the top.
译文：
在这幅画中我们可以看到，一座伟大的埃及金字塔擎天而立，雄伟壮观。尽管游客们第一眼看到它时，都会被它的磅礴气势所震撼，然而震撼过后，他们都不禁要对眼前这些体现着古埃及人民
坚忍不拔精神的巨石惊叹不已。在漫长的修筑过程中，你不难想象在这个伟大创举的背后，饱含着人民坚韧不拔的精神与毅力。
金字塔的巨石使我们想到这样一句名言：“罗马不是一天建成的。”也就是说，不付出艰辛的劳动和足够的时间就不会成就伟大的事业。人类急切希望为自己创造价值。但是，只有耐心和坚韧才能帮助我们完成伟大创举。以司马迁为例，假如他不具备上述优秀品质，成就那样的伟业绝无可能。做任何事情，障碍都是不可避免的，除非我们什么都不做。说到底，有了耐心和坚韧才能成功。
有些人在看上去不可逾越的障碍面前中途放弃。这些人是永远不会成功的。我们在做任何事情时都要脚踏实地，一步一步去实现我们最终的目标。道理很简单：如果一个人爬山，无论他爬得多高，只要没有到达山顶，他终归是一个失败者。

英语作文 篇7
Equality of Education Opportunity
In recent years the problems which are caused by the inequality of education opportunity have attracted the public‘s attention. For instance, the backward teaching facilities and dilapidated school buildings in rural areas are in sharp contrast to those advanced facilities and well-equipped classrooms in urban areas, students from poor families cannot go to universities because of the high tuition.
There are several factors which contribute lo these problems. First, the distribution of resources is unbalanced between rural and urban schools. Second, educational loans for poor students are far from enough. Third, the inequality in some schools‘ admission policies also turns many students away. The education inequality can result in many bad impacts. On one hand, it can affect people’s future employment. On the other hand，it is the root of many social problems.
To change this situation, I think, we should take the following measures. Firstly, the government‘s spending on education should be increased and the allocation of public resources gives priority to rural and weak urban schools. Secondly, the implementation of the government financial aid system for students should be accelerated. Thirdly, the government should speed up education reforms to ensure everyone has equal access to schools.
英语作文 篇8
Year is a happy festival, the year of legends there are many, this year and the past year has many different.
This year's New Year is special, with the biggest snowfall in nearly 17 years. The blanket of snow covered the whole earth, making it inconvenient for people to go out, causing obstacles in the Spring Festival movement, the collapse of houses in some areas, the interruption of the circuit and the collapse of the electric frame, all of which were the "masterpiece" of snow. I love snow, but I love the gentle snow, like a clear flow, not polluted by dirty dust. But when I see you turn brown and pile up on the side of the road, I hate it. In order to you the consequences, there are a lot of people get up at three in the morning is less than shoveling snow, and everywhere on the road to see pedestrians in wrestling, hard for a year to work outside of people want to be home during the Spring Festival, but hard to spend several days on the road... At the thought of it, I hate you some more. Of course, you have brought me a lot of joy: making snowmen, snowball fights, every door of the house with snow to show their unique artistic talent... But you are endlessly underground, and you have to fight against you, ah!
Of course, for the children of us, the quickest way to celebrate the New Year is to get lucky money. We need to learn how to allocate money properly and exercise our financial ability.
I love the year, I love the New Year more!
