A Goodbye Kiss
爸爸的道别之吻
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob starred to stand up and jostled the table, spillinghis coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."
董事会议结束了，鲍勃站起身时不小心撞到了桌子，把咖啡洒到了笔记本上。“真丢脸啊，这把年级了还毛毛糙糙的。”他不好意思地说。
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassingmoments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said,"Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."
所有人都哈哈大笑起来，然后我们都开始讲述自己经历的最尴尬的时刻。一圈过来，轮到一直默默坐在那儿听别人讲的弗兰克了。有人说：“来吧，弗兰克，给大家讲讲你最难为情的时刻。”
Frank began," I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He hadhis own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay outuntil he caught enough to feed he family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Momand Dad. " He looked at us and said," I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man,and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got closeto him, he smelled the ocean."
弗兰克开始了他的讲述。“我是在桑派德罗长大的。我爸爸是一位渔夫，他非常热爱大海。他有自己的小船，但是靠在海上捕鱼为生太艰难了。他辛勤的劳动着，一直待在海上直到捕到足以养活全家的鱼为止。他不仅要养活我们的小家，还要养活爷爷奶奶以及还未成家的弟弟妹妹，”弗兰克看着我们，继续说，“我真希望你们见过我的爸爸，他是一个身材高大的男人。因长期拉网捕鱼，与大海搏斗的缘故，他十分强壮。走进他时，你能够闻到他身上散发出来的大海的气息。”
Frank's voice dropped a bit." When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He wouldpull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching.Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. Itwas so embarrassing for me. Here I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kissme good-bye!"
弗兰克的声音低了一点：“天气不好的时候，爸爸会开车送我们去学校。他会把车停在学校正门口，好像每个人都能站在一旁观看。然后，他弯下身子在我脸上重重的亲了一口，告诉我要做一个好孩子。这让我觉得很难为情。那时我已经12岁了，而爸爸还俯身给我一个道别的亲吻。”
He paused and then went on," I remember the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss.When we got the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to leantoward me, but I put my hand up and said,' No, Dad.' It was the first time I had ever talked tohim that way, and he had this surprised looked on his face.
弗兰克停顿了一下，又继续说道：“我还记得那天。我认为自己已经长大到不再合适一个道别亲吻了。当我们到了学校停下来的时候，像往常一样爸爸露出了灿烂的笑容，他开始向我俯下身来，然后我抬手挡住了他，‘不，爸爸。’那是我第一次那样对他说话，他十分吃惊。”
I said, 'Dad, I'm too old for a good-bye kiss. 'I'm too old for any kind of kiss.' My Dad looked atme for the longest tine, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turnedand looked our the windshield.' You're right,' he said. 'You are a big boy…… a man. I won't kissyou anymore.'"
“我说道：‘爸爸，我已经长大了，大到不再适合接受一个道别亲吻了。也不再适合任何的亲吻了。’爸爸盯着我看了好长时间，潸然泪下。我从来未见过他哭泣。他转过身子，透过挡风玻璃向外望去：“没错，你已经是一个大男孩儿……一个男子汉了。我以后再也不这样亲吻你了。”
For the moment, Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes. "It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back."
讲到这儿，弗兰克脸上露出了古怪的表情，泪水还是在眼眶里打转。“从那之后没多久，爸爸出海后就再也没回来了。”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again." Guys,you don't know what I woud give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek……to feel his rough old face…… to smell the ocean on him…… to feel his arm around my neck. Iwish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would been a man, I would never have toldmy Dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss."
我看着弗兰克，眼泪正顺着他的脸颊流下来。弗兰克又开口了：“伙计们，你们不知道，如果我爸爸能在我脸上亲一下……让我感觉一下他那粗糙了脸……闻一闻他身上海洋的气息……享受他搂着我脖子的感觉，那么我付出什么都愿意。我真希望那时候我是一个真正的男子汉。如果我是，我绝不会告诉爸爸我已经长大到不再适合一个道别的亲吻了。
knowing the consequences of choice
over the past spring festival, i got involved in a family dispute. right before i got home, four satellite channels of cctv were added to the 14 channels we had already had. in prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and i-had to argue over what to watch. finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... if we
could agree what that was.
however, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had tv, there were only one or two channels available. the increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. today, we read english newspapers like the china daily and the 21st century, as well as various chinese newspapers.
fifteen years ago, english majors took only courses in language and literature. today, we also study western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
the emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in china's history; an era of persity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the chinese nation. we enjoy the abundance of choice. but this has not come easily.
about 150 years ago, china was forced to open up its door by western canons and gunboats. it has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. the policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.
like others of my age, i'm too young to have experienced the time when the chinese people had no right to choose. however, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: what does choice really mean to us young people?
is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? is choice an empty promise that never materializes? or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
first, i would like to say: to choose means to claim opportunities.
i am a third-year english major. an important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. i can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. i can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in china.
indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. i would love to work in such big cities as beijing or shanghai or shenzhen. i would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. i would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. i would also love to put down roots in central and western china, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.
all of these sound good. but they are only possibilities. to those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, i would like to say: to choose means to accept challenge. to us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. in the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.
with increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. this is calling for a higher level of our personal development.
fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. but today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.
given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.
as we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
as we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. but it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.
economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.
to those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, i would like to say, to choose means to take responsibility. when we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "it's just my own business. " as policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.
the traditional chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. to me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. rather, it is the whole of the human family. as i am making my choices, i will not forget the smile of my teacher when i correctly spelled out the word "china" for the first time, i will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of jiangxi province. i will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in bosnia, chechnya and somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty. all these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. at different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. now as i am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.
选择的重要性
去年春节期间，我陷入过一场家庭纷争。在我回家之前，我们家的电视除了已有的14个频道外又增加了四个卫星频道。晚上的黄金时间，每个频道的节目都很精彩。结果，我们一家五口(父母，两个姐姐和我)为了选台而争执起来。最后，我们决定应当看“最有意思”的节目——如果我们在什么是“最有意思”上可以认同的话。
不过我们全都清楚地记得，买了电视后的好长一段时间里，只有一两个频道可供选择。电视频道的增多反映出我们生活中的一个重大变化：选择余地的扩大。
20xx年前，我们身着同样的款式，单一的色调。而如今，纷繁的花色和众多的式样让我们挑得眼花缭乱。
20xx年前，我们几乎无报可读。而如今，除了大大小小的中文报纸，我们还读上了《中国日报》、《21世纪报》这样的英文报纸。
20xx年前，英语专业的学生只能选语言与文学课程。而如今，我们还学习西方文化，新闻，商务，国际关系，甚至还有计算机课程。
选择的涌现标志着中国进入了一个崭新的时代，一个充满多样化的时代，一个物质与精神都愈加丰富的时代，一个中华民族获得新生的时代。
我们为选择之多而欢呼雀跃，同时也深深地感到这一切来之不易。
一个半世纪之前，在西方大炮、战舰的威通下，中国被迫打开了国门。经过祖祖辈辈的抗争与牺牲，我们才最终赢得了当家作主的机会。改革开放这个正确的抉择使一切发生了翻天覆地的变化。
我和其他同龄人一样，太年轻了、没有经历过中国人丧失选择权的岁月。但是，随着下个世纪的脚步越走越近，我们是该们心自间了：选择，对于我们青年一代，到底意味着什么？
选择，是场靠侥幸来获胜的游戏吗？是句不用兑现的空话吗？抑或是种让人知难而退的困境？
首先，我认为，选择意味着抓住机遇。
我是英语专业三年级学生，我所面临的一个重大选择当然是毕业后的去向。我可以攻读硕士学位，或在国内，或在国外。我可以走上工作岗位，做名教师，翻译，记者，编辑或外交家。实际上，双向选择的体制在我面前铺开了通向各行各业的大道。
说真的，这个选择并不好做。我愿意在像北京、上海、深圳这样的大都市里工作，我也盼着能回到虽不那么发达却使我倍感亲切的故乡。我希望可以留在生活节奏快，令人兴奋的沿海地带，我也愿意扎根于广炭的中西部地区，那里虽然条件艰苦，却有极大的发展潜力。
所有这一切听上去令人振奋，但它们毕竟只是可能性。有些人面对五花八门的选择挑得眼花缭乱，我要告诉他们：选择就意味着接受挑战。
对于我们青年一代，挑战常以竟争的形式出现。到下个世纪，竞争者将不仅只是其他大学毕业生，更有各行各业不同年龄层的人们。
随着国际交流的不断增多，我们得面对来自整个外部世界日益激烈的竞争，这就对我们个/、的发展提出了更高的要求。
20xx年前，懂门外语或会用计算机是个优越条件。但今天，随着受教育面的拓宽，以上的知识也成了每个人必备的条件。
在这种形势下，即便最细小的选择也要求我们具有极大的智慧和自主精神。
当我们面对选择不断增强自己的主动性时，每一次选择的结果也同样变得愈加重要。
比方说，核能可以提高人民的生活水平，可它同样也能毁灭千百万人的生命财产。
经济的发展使我们富裕起来，却也给我们的空气、水、健康带来了严重危害。有些人对选择的后果毫不在乎，我要对他们说：选择还意味着承担责任。我们替自己做选择时，不能随口一句“这不关别人的事”。作为下个世纪的决策者，我们必须承担对和我们共同拥有这个地球的人们所负的责任。 传统的中华文化教育我们，要勃奋学习，努力工作，以荣耀家门。然而我认为，这个家门并不只指诸如我的那个争看电视的五口小家。更确切地说，它指的是整个人类这个大家庭。当我为自己的未来做出选择时，我不会忘记自己第一次正确读出“china"这个单词时老师脸上的笑容。我也不会忘记在我们的帮助下重返校园的江西山区的孩子们兴奋的脸庞。我更不会忘记饱受战火、饥荒、贫困蹂蹦的波斯尼亚、车臣、索马里，不会忘记那里成千上万的妇女儿童泪水模糊的双眼。
所有这些我认识或不认识的人们组成了人类这个大家庭。他们从不同的时空中走进了我的生活，开拓了我的视野。现在，我将为自己做出抉择，该是为使他们的生活变得美好而奋斗的时候了。因为只有当每个人都过上和平、富足的生活，世界才能成为大家的乐园。
Summer is the great season for all sports in the open air. It is the season for baseball which is often called the national sport because of its popularity. I usually watch television and read the newspaper reports about the baseball results of the newspaper reports about the baseball results of the little leagues. During the summer I like to go to the beach often because it is very close to my home in the village. I usually go there bur in the summer vacation to relax after many months in school in the city. I feel very comfortable with the familiar quiet of the villagers
夏天是开放的空气中所有运动的好季节。因为它的流行，它是一种经常被称为国家运动的棒球季节。我通常看电视，看报纸报道有关棒球比赛结果的报道，关于棒球比赛结果的报道。夏天我喜欢去海� 我通常在暑假去那待在学校的`许多个月的城市放松。我觉得很舒服，熟悉的村民们熟悉的安静
Every time when summer comes, I am so looking forward to summer vacation, because I can make many plans in the long vacation. Last summer, I spent a month to stay with my uncle and his family.
They live in the north. When I got there, I found the weather there was not that hot and I liked the coolness. In the daytime, my cousin and I played on the beach, because we lived near the beach. I would paint pictures and wait for the water to wash they away. Sometimes my uncle would take his boat with us. We floated on the sea and appreciated the beautiful nature.
This is the best summer for me. I wish I could have chances to spend some time with them again. I will never forget those happy days.
每当夏天来临的时候，我都很期待暑假，因为我可以在长假中制定很多计划。去年夏天，我花了一个月的'时间和叔叔和他的家人住在一起。
他们住在北方。当我到达那里的时候，我发现那里的天气不是那么热，我喜欢凉爽。白天，我表妹和我在海滩上玩，因为我们住在海滩附近。我会画画，等待水把它们洗干净。有时我叔叔会带着他的船。我们漂洋过海，欣赏美丽的大自然。
对我来说，这是最好的夏天。我希望我能有机会再次和他们共度时光。我永远不会忘记那些快乐的日子。
Summer vacation is coming. The weather becomes hotter and hotter. Swimming is one of the best sports for us to get cool. But swimming is also a dangerous sport. Here is some advice that can help you to be safe.
First student shouldn’t swim in somewhere too deep like rivers. Swimming pool is a good place. Second students can’t swim alone. If you want to swim you have to go with your parents or friends. Another important thing is that students should do some sports before swimming. Making your body hot can be safer. And you can’t swim for too long.
When you enjoy yourself in the water don’t forget to take good care of yourself.
暑假即将来临。天气变得热。游泳是最好的运动对我们来说很酷。但游泳也是一项危险的运动。这里有一些建议可以帮助你是安全的'。
首先学生不应该在太深的地方游泳像河流一样。游泳池是一个好地方。第二学生不能单独游泳。如果你想游泳你必须和你的父母或朋友一起去。另一个重要的事情是学生应该在游泳前做一些体育运动。让你的身体热可以更安全。你不会游泳太久。
当你享受自己在水里别忘了好好照顾自己。

但是对我而言，我学英语不仅 当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美……

我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦！
谢谢！
It was so hot and suffocating in the room that I could do nothing, So after supper I came to the yard to relax. Sitting in the yard, I looked at the sky. It was clear without a bit of cloud. Little stars were twinkling quietly like bright eyes.
I looked for the Milky Way, the Altair and Vega, which made me think of the legendary cowherd and the fairy. What a mysterious world it is! All the stars in the sky mix their lays of light together although they are not so brilliant as the sun and not so clear as the moon. They shine also on the ground which turns into a wonderful world.
I love the starry sky in summer.

房里实在又闷又热，我什么都不愿做，晚饭后我到院里乘凉。坐在院里，我仰望天空，天上万里无云，星星静静地眨着一双双明亮的眼睛，忽闪忽闪的。
银河里，我寻找着牵牛星和织女星。不禁使我想起传说中的牛郎和仙女。多么神奇的世界呀！所有的'星星将其光辉汇合一起，虽不及太阳的光芒和月亮的清洁，可它们仍旧照耀着大地，给世界带来神奇。
我爱夏天的星空。
Why does the idea of progress loom so large in the modern world? Surely because progress of a particular kind is actually taking place around us and is becoming more and more manifest. Although mankind has undergone no general improvement in intelligence or morality, it has made extraordinary progress in the accumulation of knowledge. Knowledge began to increase as soon as the thoughts of one individual could be communicated to another by means of speech.
With the invention of writing， a great advance was made, for knowledge could then be not only communicated but also stored. Libraries made education possible, and education in its turn added to libraries: the growth of knowledge followed a kind of compound interest law, which was greatly enhanced by the invention of printing. All this was comparatively slow until, with the coming of science, the tempo was suddenly raised. Then knowledge began to be accumulated according to a systematic plan.
The trickle became a stream; the stream has now become a torrent. Moreover, as soon as new knowledge is acquired, it is now turned to practical account. What is called “modern civilization” is not the result of a balanced development of all mans nature, but of accumulated knowledge applied to practical life. The problem now facing humanity is: What is going to be done with all this knowledge? As is so often pointed out, knowledge is a two-edged weapon which can be used equally for good or evil. It is now being used indifferently for both. Could any spectacle, for instance, be more grimly weird than that of gunners using science to shatter mens bodies while, close at hand, surgeons use it to restore them? We have to ask ourselves very seriously what will happen if this twofold use of knowledge, with its ever-increasing power, continues.
Be Happy
快乐
“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield
“快乐的日子使人睿智。”——约翰 梅斯菲而德
When I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean?Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But hissober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.
第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲而德的这行诗时，我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思？我以前从未对此仔细考虑，总是认定这行诗反过来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹的表达引起了我的注意，令我无法忘怀。
Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation.The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nordimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.
终于，我似乎领会到了它的意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力之前，不会因忧虑而含混迷惑，也不会因绝望和厌倦而暗淡模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。
Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---often comes suddenly, like anApril shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom hasaccompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friendsare more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correctingyour spiritual vision.
积极的快乐——并非单纯的满意或知足——通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然绽放。然后，你就会发觉与快乐结伴而来的究竟是何种智慧。草地更为青翠，鸟鸣更为甜美，朋友的缺点也变的更能让人理解、宽容。快乐就像一副眼镜，可以矫正你的精神视力。
Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with yourthoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall.Happy, the wall crumbles.
快乐的视野并不仅限于你周围的事物。当你不快乐时，你的思维陷入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像被一道墙给阻隔住了。而当你快乐时，这道墙会砰然倒塌。
The long vista is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you----people,thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene. Everything assumes afairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom.
你的眼界变的更为宽广。你脚下的大地，你身边的世界，包括人、思想、情感和压力，现在都融入了更为广阔的景象之中，其间每件事物的比例都更加合理。而这就是睿智的起始。
When July comes, it is the hottest time of the whole summer. Many of my friends choose to travel to cool places to avoid the hot air. As for me, I don’t like to travel in such hot weather.
I just want to stay at home and enjoy the quiet moments. I like to sit by the window and watch the scenery outside. Sometimes I will read some books, enjoy the novel, let myself lost in the world of the novel.
My favorite thing to do is to find a coffee shop and then choose a table near the window so I can see everything. I’ll take my computer with me and play on it all afternoon. This is what I like to do in summer. I like it.
当七月来临时，它是整个夏天最热的时候。我的许多朋友都选择去凉爽的。地方旅行，以避免闷热的空气。至于我，我不喜欢在这样炎热的天气里旅行。我只想待在家里享受安静的时刻。
我喜欢坐在窗边，看外面的风景。有时我会读一些书，享受小说，让自己迷失在小说的世界里。我最喜欢做的事情是找一家咖啡店，然后选择一个靠近窗户的桌子，这样我可以看到所有的情况。
我会带着我的电脑，然后玩一个下午的电脑。这是我在夏天喜欢做的事。我喜欢它。

A huge applause echoed in the huge carpeted and Corinthian room as Jane, the most celebrated female model of the city gracefully walked along the pathway.
当简，这个市里最著名的女模特优雅地沿着过道走出来时，响亮的掌声回荡在铺着地毯的柯林斯式的巨大房间内。
After the speech, the most awaiting moment of the salient event came- It was the question time.
演讲后，最令人期待的重要时刻到来了——访谈时间。
“Well ma’am since you are the finest, the most elegant model of the city, there must be something that sprinkles some magic portion in your success, is it the watch necklace that you always wear?”
“好吧尊敬的女士，既然你是这个城市里最美、最优雅的模特，那一定有什么有魔力的小秘密造就了你的成功，是你经常戴的那个怀表吗？”
With a low gaze, moist eyes and a soft voice Jane said, “This watch necklace is an epitome of my lost lover Edward whose life ebbed away to the cradle of death two years ago. Yet what this Jane still have today is a symbol of a conglomeration of time and love that though Edward is physically far from my life, his presence is felt by the tinkering of this two cm needle.”
简眼眉低垂，含着泪，温柔地说道：“这条项链是我失去的爱人爱德华的缩影，他的生命在两年前渐渐衰亡了。目前这个简仍然拥有的是凝聚了时间和爱的象征，尽管爱德华的身体已经离我的生活很遥远，但通过修修补补我这两厘米的针，我仍能感受到他的存在。”
Time gone is like the flowing water of a gurgling river, where even if one wishes one cannot touch the same water again. What it takes and flows is a plethora of memories of our dear ones where a little something can symbolize a profound importance in someone’s life-just like the necklace watch of Jane from the gone lover-Edward.
流逝的时光就像淙淙的`小河里奔腾的水，你再也无法感受同一捧水，无论你有多么希望。我们关于最爱之人的大部分回忆将会被它带走，然而一个小东西就可以代表某人生命中深刻的东西——就像简那条来自永远消失的爱人爱德华的项链。
This summer, I move to a new city with my parents, and I transfer to a new school. I used to live in the countryside, so my new life is so different from before. The school is a little far from my home, so I go to school by bus. After school, I have many activities in school. Classmates are friendly to me. I learn English now. It’s so interesting that I like it very much. Besides, life in city is different. There are many interesting places to go. At weekends, my parents take me outside. We go to the park, the zoo or go shopping. But we are not so familiar with our neighbors. I think we should build good relationship with them.
翻译：
这个夏天，我和爸爸妈妈搬到了一个新的城市生活，我也转到了新的学校上学。以前，我住在乡下，所以我现在的生活和以前有很大不同。学校离我的家稍远，所以我要坐公交车去上学。课后，我在学校有很多活动。同学们对我也很友好。现在我开始学英语了，这门课程很有趣，我很喜欢。另外，在城市里的`生活也很不一样，有很多好玩的地方可以去。周末，我的爸爸妈妈常常带我出去。我们去公园、动物园，或者去购物。但是我们和邻居们不是很熟悉，我觉得我们应该建立良好的关系。
Beginning this summer, even here the next several days of rain, the suns anger at once extinguished, and the weather has e very cool that people are feeling refreshed.
When it rains, foam has been of coffee, sitting in his study playing online games, but can not help， but be attracted to the rain outside. Rain on the leaves， issued dull sound; rain hit the road, splashes of white foam; rain hit the racks, the issue sounds sweet tinkle.
Lie in the window sill and see rain, dense rain such as pearl curtains, hammer down from the sky, grab a hand, her lack of playfully escape, leaving only a trace of cool in the palm of the hand.
After the rain, my friends and barefoot, to play in the water puddles in the area. Walk through the rain, my little feet fortable, I splash a small partner, and made each other who are wet, and we really enjoyed ourselves.
Rain, you give us a cool, but also brought me happiness.
A light drizzle was falling as my sister Jill and I ran out of the Methodist Church, eager to get home and play with the presents that Santa had left for us and our baby sister, Sharon. Across the street from the church was a Pan American gas station where the Greyhound bus stopped. It was closed for Christmas, but I noticed a family standing outside the locked door, huddled under the narrow overhang in an attempt to keep dry. I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I raced to keep up with Jill.
天上下着毛毛细雨，我和姐姐吉尔跑出卫理公会教堂，满心只想着快点回到家玩圣诞老人给我们和小妹妹莎伦准备的礼物玩具。教堂的对面是泛美油站，灰狗长途汽车会在那里中途停站。因为是圣诞节，那天油站没开，不过我发现在紧锁的站门外站着一家人，他们挤在狭小的檐篷下，想尽量不被雨淋湿。我闪过一个疑问，他们为什么站在那里呢？但在我赶上吉尔的时候也就把这个疑团抛诸脑后了。
Once we got home, there was barely time to enjoy our presents. We had to go off to our grandparents house for our annual Christmas dinner. As we drove down the highway through town, I noticed that the family was still there, standing outside the closed gas station.
回到家后其实根本没时间让我们尽情把玩礼物，因为我们马上又得去爷爷奶奶家共进一年一度的圣诞大餐。在开车经过刚才那条大路时，我看到那一家人仍然站在紧闭的油站门外。
My father was driving very slowly down the highway. The closer we got to the turnoff for my grandparents house, the slower the car went. Suddenly, my father U-turned in the middle of the road and said, "I cant stand it!"
在那主干道上爸爸的车开得很慢。越接近去爷爷奶奶家的分岔路口，车子就越慢。突然，爸爸在半路中途来了个180度转弯，把车子原路驶回，他说："我实在不忍心！
"What?" asked my mother.
"什么？"妈妈问他。
"Its those people back there at the Pan Am, standing in the rain. Theyve got children. Its Christmas. I cant stand it."
"那几个在雨中站在泛美油站外的人。他们还带着小孩呢。圣诞节当前，我真的不忍心啊。"
When my father pulled into the service station, I saw that there were five of them: the parents and three children - two girls and a small boy.
爸爸把车开到油站旁停下，我看见那一家总共有5个人：父母俩和三个孩子--两个女孩跟一个小男孩。
My father rolled down his window. "Merry Christmas," he said.
爸爸摇下车窗对他们说："圣诞快乐！"
"Howdy," the man replied. He was very tall and had to stoop slightly to peer into the car. Jill, Sharon, and I stared at the children, and they stared back at us.
"你好，"那个男人回了一句。他长得很高，要稍微弯下腰来往我们车里瞧。我和吉尔、莎伦盯着那几个小孩，他们也瞪眼看着我们。
"You waiting on the bus?" my father asked.
"你们在等汽车吗？"爸爸问他们。
The man said that they were. They were going to Birmingham, where he had a brother and prospects of a job.
男人回答说是，他们准备去伯明翰，他有个哥哥在那边，而且期望能谋到一份工作。
"Well, that bus isnt going to come along for several hours, and youre getting wet standing here. Winborns just a couple miles up the road. Theyve got a shed with a cover there, and some benches," my father said. "Why dont yall get in the car and Ill run you up there."
"汽车起码要好几个小时后才到这里，站在这儿等车你们都会淋湿的。往前几英里就是温邦站，那儿有个棚屋，有地方避雨，还有些板凳。不如上车我送你们到那里吧。"
The man thought about it for a moment, and then he beckoned to his family. They climbed into the car. They had no luggage, only the clothes they were wearing.
男人想了一下然后示意他家人过来。他们钻进车里，除了身上穿着的`衣服，他们没有任何行李。
Once they settled in, my father looked back over his shoulder and asked the children if Santa had found them yet. Three glum faces mutely gave him his answer.
等他们坐好了，爸爸转过头来问那几个孩子，圣诞老人找到他们没有。三张忧郁的脸无声地回答了他。
"Well, I didnt think so," my father said, winking at my mother, "because when I saw Santa this morning, he told me that he was having trouble finding all, and he asked me if he could leave your toys at my house. Well just go get them before I take you to the bus stop."
"我看不是吧，"爸爸边说边向妈妈眨眼暗示，"早上我碰到圣诞老人了，他说找不到你们，想把给你们的礼物暂时放到我们家里来。现在咱们就去拿礼物吧，待会儿我再送你们去车站。
All at once, the three childrens faces lit up, and they began to bounce around in the back seat, laughing and chattering.
三个孩子的脸顿时阴霾尽散，还在后排座位蹦蹦跳跳，笑笑嚷嚷起来。
When we got out of the car at our house, the three children ran through the front door and straight to the toys that were spread out under our Christmas tree. One of the girls spied Jills doll and immediately hugged it to her breast. I remember that the little boy grabbed Sharons ball. And the other girl picked up something of mine. All this happened a long time ago, but the memory of it remains clear. That was the Christmas when my sisters and I learned the joy of making others happy.
到了我家一下车，那三个孩子穿过大门就直奔摆在圣诞树下的礼物。其中一个小女孩发现了吉尔的洋娃娃礼物，马上把它抱入怀中。我记得那小男孩抓走了莎伦的小球，而另外一个女孩就挑走了一件我的东西。这些都是很久很久以前的事了，然而回忆起来还是那么清晰，因为在那个圣诞日我和我的姐妹领会到了让别人快乐而获得的愉悦。
My mother noticed that the middle child was wearing a short-sleeved dress, so she gave the girl Jills only sweater to wear.
妈妈看到他们家老二穿着的裙子是短袖的，便把吉尔仅有的毛衣给了她穿。
My father invited them to join us at our grandparents for Christmas dinner, but the parents refused. Even when we all tried to talk them into coming, they were firm in their decision.
爸爸邀请他们一起去爷爷奶奶家吃圣诞大餐，但他们两夫妇拒绝了。就算怎么游说，他们还是坚拒了我们的好意。
Back in the car, on the way to Winborn, my father asked the man if he had money for bus fare.
回到车里在去温邦的路上爸爸问那男人有没有钱买车票。
His brother had sent tickets, the man said.
他说哥哥寄了车票来。
My father reached into his pocket and pulled out two dollars, which was all he had left until his next payday. He pressed the money into the mans hand. The man tried to give it back, but my father insisted. "Itll be late when you get to Birmingham, and these children will be hungry before then. Take it. Ive been broke before, and I know what its like when you cant feed your family."
爸爸从口袋里掏出仅有的两美元，本来是我们要熬到下次发工资的，他却把这钱塞到了男人的手里。男人想把钱推回来，但爸爸硬要他收下。"等你们到伯明翰就已经很晚了，路上孩子们会饿的。收下吧，我以前也曾一贫如洗，让家人挨饿的滋味不好受，我知道的。"
We left them there at the bus stop in Winborn. As we drove away, I watched out the window as long as I could, looking back at the little gihugging her new doll.
把他们送到温邦的车站后，我们就开车离开了。我从车窗回望良久，凝望着那小女孩拥着她的新洋娃娃。
On Saturday, we went camping, with our teachers. First we pitched the tent. then our older brothers and older sisters played game with us. At noon, we all had a delicious lunch followed by a barbecue for dinner. At night, we had bonfire and sang and danced.
We didn’t sleep until 10:20 at night. But some of the boys were so noisy we couldn＇t fall alseep. I only slept for three hours. the next morning, everybody woke up very early. After exercising in the morning, we all went to see the small pigs.
On the way there, we saw a lot of geese. At 10:00, we went back to eat ice cream. It was so cold. then, we all played games together. We ate lunch at 12:00. In the afternoon, we played musical instruments and sang.
After that, camp was over. We had a lot of fun at the summer camp. I am looking forward o going to another summer camp soon
When July comes, it is the hottest time of the whole summer. Many of my friends have chosen to travel to the cool place, so as to avoid the stuffy air. As for me, I don’t like to travel in this hot weather. I just want to stay indoors and enjoy the quiet moment. I like to sit near the window, watching outside scenery. Sometimes I will read some books, enjoy the novel and make myself lost in the fiction world. The things I like to do most is to find a coffee shop and then choose a table that is near the window, so that I can see all the situation. I will bring my computer and then play the computer for the whole afternoon. It is what I like to do in the summer. I enjoy it.
七月到来之际，是整个夏天最热的时候。我很多朋友都选择去凉爽的地方旅行，顺便躲避闷热的空气。对于我来说，我不喜欢在这种炎热的天气旅行，我只想呆在家里，享受安静的时刻。我喜欢坐在窗户旁边，看外面的风景。有时我会看一些书，享受小说的熏陶，沉迷于小说的世界里。我最喜欢做的。事就是找一家咖啡店，然后选择一张靠近窗户的桌子，这样我就可以看到所有的场景。我会带上我的电脑，然后玩一整个下午。这是我在夏天喜欢做的事。我也非常享受这样的时刻。

I like summer, like its beautiful color, like it for people to contribute to the character.
来了，百花齐放，如同花的世界一样，真美。
在夏天里，有各种各样的花、树，还有小鸟，它们给夏天增添了色彩，给夏天点缀得更加美丽。
夏天里的花很好看，有红色的小桃红、黄色的'蒲公英、粉色的蔷薇花……引来了许多蜜蜂蝴蝶采蜜。
夏天里的大树很茂盛，爷爷奶奶叔叔阿姨和小朋友们都来树下乘凉。
特别是夏天里的小鸟，它们在大树上做窝、生小宝宝，还在大树上唱歌呢！
我喜欢夏天，喜欢它那美丽的色彩，喜欢它为人们作出贡献的品德。
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and in life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -- chatelaine, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some exquisite -- telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
一群毕业生，各自在事业上都已有所建树，相约一起去看望他们年老的大学教授。谈话一会儿就变成了各自对工作和生活压力的抱怨。在用咖啡招待这些客人时，教授去厨房端来一大壶咖啡，并拿出各式各样的咖啡杯——陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有看上去普通的、有价值不菲的'、有做工精细的——让他们自己倒咖啡喝。
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:
当所有学生手中都端了一杯咖啡后，教授发话了 ：
If you noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
“如果你们注意一下，就会发现所有好看的昂贵的杯子都被挑走了，剩下的只是那些普通的和便宜的。当然，每个人都只想拥有最好的，这很正常，但这也正是你们的问题和压力的根源所在。”
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each others cups.
“其实你们真正想要的是咖啡，而不是杯子，但你们却又都下意识去挑选最好的杯子，并观察别人拿到的杯子。”
Now consider this: Life is the coffee and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided. So, dont let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead.
“现在设想一下：如果生活是杯中的咖啡，工作、财富和社会地位就是那些杯子。它们只是维持生活的工具而已，并不改变生活质量。有时候，我们在过于关注杯子的同时却忘了去品 味上帝賜予的咖啡。所以，不要成为杯子的奴隶…好好品味杯中的咖啡。”
Lightly, lightly, summer girl is coming to the world with slim and graceful step……
The grass grows much greener than before. The flowers come out more beautiful than before. There are more leaves in the trees than before. Everything makes us more youthful.
Accompany the first cry of the cicada and the first shout of the frog…… The world is full of melody. All the bother is taken away by it.
Gradually, gradually, the air temperature turns higher and higher. The lotuses in the lakes come out happily. The dragonflies are busy laying eggs……
Ah! Summer is really coming!
轻轻地，轻轻地，夏天女孩来到世界轻盈一步……
草生长比之前更绿了。花比以前更漂亮。比以前有更多的树叶在树上。一切都让我们更年轻。
伴随着蝉的第一次鸣叫，第一个喊的`青蛙……世界充满旋律。所有的麻烦都带走。
渐渐地，渐渐地，气温越来越高。湖里的荷花高兴地出来。蜻蜓忙于产卵……
啊！夏天是真的来了！
有一天，我去凤凰广场，看见了许多小金鱼在水里游来游去的，还看见了很多花儿，可美丽了！
One day, when I went to Phoenix Square, I saw a lot of little goldfish swimming around in the water, and also saw a lot of flowers. It was beautiful!
杨靖宇也来到了广场上，我悄悄的走过去，大喊一声：“杨靖宇！”，可把他吓坏了！我对他说“对不起，吓着了吧？咱们一起到那边的小木船里去玩吧！”我们刚站上去，就看到了一只青蛙好像在歌唱，我们俩很高兴就打起水仗来，我们你泼我，我泼你的，我们的。身上的衣服全湿透了，可是我们特别开心！
Yang Jingyu also came to the square, I quietly walked over and shouted, "Yang Jingyu!" , but scared him! I said to him, "Im sorry, are you scared? Lets play in the little wooden boat over there! " As soon as we stood up, we saw a frog singing. We were very happy to have a water fight. We splashed me and I splashed you. Our clothes were all wet, but we were very happy!
