OUR NATIONAL FATHER 我的國(guó)父

　　There is no doubt that Dr. Sun Yat-Sen is the greatest man that I ever known in my whole life. He set up the Republic of China， so we call him our National Father.

　　He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. His aim was to liberate China from the hands of the Manchu Dynasty. He had not met with result， but he was not discouraged at all. As a result， he accomplished his end in the long run.

　　To sum up， his strong will and indomitable spirit are worth our worship and imitation （are worth our worshiping and imitating）。

　　無(wú)疑的，中山先生是我一生知道的比較大的人物。他建立中民國(guó)，所以我他為我的國(guó)父。

　　他致力革命凡四十年。他的目的是清朝手里解放中國(guó)。他曾遭遇屢次的失敗，但他卻一點(diǎn)也不灰心。那是不需說(shuō)的。結(jié)果，他終于達(dá)到目的。

　　總而言之，他堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志和不屈不撓的精神（是）值得我們的崇拜和仿效。

　　MY AIM 我的志向

　　Whatever a man's status is （may be）， he must have an aim. If not， he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason.

　　However important fame and wealth may be， we must not let them become our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society.

　　If my aim can come true， I hope （wish） to be a teacher. However， teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties （as a teacher）。

　　不論人是什么身份，他必須有一個(gè)志向。如果沒(méi)有的話，他很難立足于世上。那是顯而易見(jiàn)的。

　　不論名利如何重要，我們切不可讓它們成為我們生活之目標(biāo)。我們應(yīng)當(dāng)志在做一些對(duì)社會(huì)有益的事情。

　　如果我的志向能實(shí)現(xiàn)的話，我就希望成為一個(gè)老師。然而，教書(shū)并不是一容易的事情。我必須專(zhuān)心學(xué)業(yè)以便能應(yīng)因我的職責(zé)。

　　FACTORS OF SUCCESS 成功要素

　　I would rather suffer hardships than fail. In other words， to achieve success is my only desire. We all know that there are many factors of success. Now let me write down the most important ones in the following.

　　Diligence-Foolish as a person is， he can succeed in his work if he works hard. That does not admit of any doubt.

　　Perseverance-When you fail， don't lose heart. Keep on working until you accomplish your aim.

　　Honesty-If you tell lies or does not keep your words， no one will rely on you. I would rather be scolded than cheat （others）。

　　我寧愿受苦難不愿失敗。換句話說(shuō)，獲致成功是我唯一的愿望。我們大家知道成功要素很多�，F(xiàn)在讓我們把它們比較重要的寫(xiě)在下面。

　　勤勉――一個(gè)人雖然不大聰明，但是他地能做成他的工作，如果他苦干的話。那是不容置疑的。

　　毅力――當(dāng)你失敗的時(shí)候，不要灰心。要繼續(xù)工作，直到你達(dá)到目的為止。

　　誠(chéng)實(shí)――如果你說(shuō)謊或不守信，沒(méi)有人會(huì)信賴(lài)你。我寧愿挨罵不愿欺騙人。

　　MY FAVORITE PASTIME 我心愛(ài)的消遣

　　It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health. In other words， we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.

　　There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements， such as playing ball games， collecting stamps， fishing， gardening， skating and so on.

　　As for （to） me， I take great delight in gardening. Whenever I am at leisure， I am accustomed to growing flowers. I regard them as my most agreeable companion.

　　不需說(shuō)，工作而不休息會(huì)對(duì)健康有害的。換句話說(shuō)，我們比較好工作后，從事分的消遣來(lái)輕松一下。

　　無(wú)疑的，消遣的種類(lèi)很多，諸如打球，集郵，釣魚(yú)，園藝，溜冰等等。

　　就我而言，我大大喜歡園藝。每當(dāng)我有閑暇的時(shí)候，我習(xí)慣于種花。我把它們看作是我比較稱(chēng)心如意的伴侶。

　　WORK WHILE YOU WORK， PLAY WHILE YOU PLAY 工作時(shí)工作，游玩時(shí)游玩

　　Both work and play are necessary to us； the former gives us knowledge while the latter （gives） rest. An English proverb is well said： "Work while you work play while you play." It makes our life pleasant， efficient and successful.

　　Work is one thing and play is another. It is of course not good to work all day long. However， it is also not good to play all day long. While you work， you should work in earnest. Then while you play， you will feel more relaxed and pleasant. That goes without saying.

　　工作和游玩兩者對(duì)我們都是必須的，前者給我們知識(shí)，后者給我們休息。英諺說(shuō)得好"工作時(shí)工作，游玩時(shí)游玩".它使我們的生活愉快，有效率以及成功。

　　工作是一回事，游玩又是另一回事。整日工作自然不好。然而，整天游玩也是不好。當(dāng)你工作時(shí)，你應(yīng)認(rèn)真工作。那末當(dāng)你游玩時(shí)，你會(huì)覺(jué)得比較輕松愉快。那是不需說(shuō)的。

　　SANITARY WAYS IN SUMMER 夏天的衛(wèi)生方法

　　Not only is summer a hot season but also diseases are apt to happen. To us it is neither comfortable nor safe.

　　If we do not wish to get sick， we must pay attention to the following sanitary ways in summer.

　　Both fresh air and clean food are indispensable to us.

　　We must try our best to get （obtain） them.

　　We should take at least one bath every day.

　　Don't wear dirty clothes.

　　In conclusion， if we can carry out the above - mentioned rules， we will neither get （take/fall） sick nor suffer pain.

　　夏天不僅是個(gè)炎熱的季節(jié)，而且疾病也容易發(fā)生。它對(duì)我們既不舒適也不安全。我們希望不生病，就得注意下面那些夏天衛(wèi)生的方法。

　　新鮮空氣和干凈的食物兩者對(duì)我們是不可缺少的。我們必須盡全力去獲得它們。

　　我們每天至少應(yīng)當(dāng)洗一個(gè)澡。

　　不要穿臟衣服。

　　總而言之，如果我們能實(shí)行上面所說(shuō)的那些規(guī)則，我們既不會(huì)生病也不會(huì)吃苦。

TO BE PATIENT 要忍耐

　　When someone disagrees with you or offends you， don't lose your temper. Why？ Because it is of no use to do so. You ought to （should） be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him. You must know that patience is not cowardice， but a virtue. I hope that everybody practices it.

　　In addition， patience will also bring us success. When you meet with difficulties in your work， it is no use losing heart. You must keep on fighting until （till） the final victory belongs to you.

　　當(dāng)有人和你意見(jiàn)不同或開(kāi)罪你的時(shí)候，你切不可發(fā)脾氣。為什么？因?yàn)檫@樣做是無(wú)用的（用of no use）。你應(yīng)當(dāng)忍耐并且保持冷靜，唯恐和他爭(zhēng)吵。你必須知道忍耐不是弱而是一種美德。我希望人人都實(shí)行它。

　　另外，忍耐也會(huì)帶給我們成功。當(dāng)你在工作中遭遇到困難的時(shí)候，灰心是無(wú)用的。你必須繼續(xù)作戰(zhàn)直到比較后勝利屬于你為止。

　　DUTIES OF A STUDENT 學(xué)生的責(zé)任

　　Education is the very thing that we want to receive. Our parents send us to school so as to enable us to get （obtain） knowledge and achieve great things in the future. The following are the duties of a student （which） we should keep in mind.

　　In the first place， we should be filial to our parents and respectful to our teacher. In the second place， we have to （must ）study as hard as we can. In the third place， we must not tell lies. Last of all， we must not criticize others. To sum up， the above-mentioned rules are the very duties of a student.

　　教育就是我們要接受的東西。我們父母送我們上學(xué)以便能使人們獲得知識(shí)與將來(lái)成大事。下面是我們應(yīng)該記住的學(xué)生的責(zé)任。

　　我們應(yīng)對(duì)父母要孝順，對(duì)老師要尊敬。

　　我們要盡可能的用功讀書(shū)。

　　我們切不可說(shuō)謊。

　　比較后，我們不要批評(píng)別人。

　　總而言之，上面所說(shuō)的規(guī)則就是我們應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。

　WHERE THERE IS A WILL， THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成

　　The secret of success （The key to success） is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words， if a man does not have a strong will to win （get） the final victory， he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

　　It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing （nothing difficult） in the world. if you make up your mind to do it， you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

　　成功的要訣不是金錢(qián)而是一個(gè)堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志（用not so mush…… as）。一個(gè)大人物是一個(gè)具有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)意志和不屈不撓精神的人。換句話說(shuō)，如果一個(gè)人沒(méi)有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)意志去獲得比較后勝利的人，他終其一生永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)成功。他只不過(guò)是（用no more than）一個(gè)失敗者。

　　很顯明的世界上并沒(méi)有難事。如果你下定決心去做它，你一定會(huì)達(dá)到目的。那是顯而易見(jiàn)的。

　　MY MOTHER 我母親

　　My mother is a woman of the old school. She is too conservative to keep up with the times. However， she is good-natured and treats others incerely. For this reason， all her neighbors are only too glad （pleased） to make friends with her. They consider her a model woman.

　　She is a typical housewife. She keeps the （her） house neat and clean and looks after us with extreme care . She often says to us， "You cannot study too hard."

　　我母親是中國(guó)老式女子。她太保守?zé)o法跟上時(shí)代。然而，她性情善良，待人誠(chéng)懇�；�于此種理由，所有她的鄰居都十分高興和她結(jié)交朋友。他們認(rèn)為她是模范女子。

　　她是一位標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的家庭主婦。她把家保持整潔。她小心翼翼地照顧我們。她時(shí)常對(duì)我們說(shuō)："你們?cè)接霉υ胶?quot;.

　PERSEVERANCE 毅力／堅(jiān)忍

　　Needless to say， nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words， a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.

　　Our National Father， Dr. Sun Yat-Sen， is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures， but he was anything but discouraged. As a result， he won. The Republic of China was born.

　　不需說(shuō)，只有毅力才能引導(dǎo)人邁向成功之途。換句話說(shuō)，一個(gè)具有毅力的人做工作終是（never……without）會(huì)把它做成功的。這真是不易之定理也。

　　我們國(guó)父孫中山先生是一個(gè)比較理想的例了。致力國(guó)民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到許多次的失敗，但是他決不灰心。結(jié)果，他贏了。中華民國(guó)誕生了。

　　THRIFT 節(jié)儉

　　There is not a （no） thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why？ Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one， he is bound to make a fortune.

　　I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short， thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

　　沒(méi)有一個(gè)節(jié)儉的人遲早不成為一個(gè)富翁。為什么？因?yàn)樗麤Q不花像那種不必要的錢(qián)。漸漸他的錢(qián)就會(huì)聚積起來(lái)。十之八九，他一定會(huì)發(fā)財(cái)?shù)摹?/p>

　　我不喜歡那種亂花錢(qián)的人。他們不知道奢侈是一件壞事。它只能夠使他們暫時(shí)快樂(lè)而已。總而言之，節(jié)儉使窮人變富，奢侈使富人變窮。

TO RISE EARLY 論早起

　　I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late. They will never have the opportunity to enjoy （of enjoying） the fresh air and calmness of the morning. This is indeed a quite regrettable thing.

　　To rise early is a good habit （which） we should cultivate. Why？ Because the best time when we can pursue our studies is in the morning. In addition， early rising is also good to our health. I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early.

　　我不知道某些人要晚起的理由。他們永不會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)享受早晨的新鮮空氣和寧?kù)o。這真是一件 發(fā)令人遺憾的事情。

　　早起是我們應(yīng)該養(yǎng)成的一種良好習(xí)慣。為什么？因?yàn)樵绯渴俏覀儚氖聦W(xué)業(yè)的大好時(shí)間。再者，早起對(duì)我們健康也有益處。我希望每個(gè)人應(yīng)該知道我們必須早起的理由。

　　CHOOSING FRIENDS 選擇朋友

　　A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them. Why？ Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world. To have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones. Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.

　　We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart. On the other hand， we should do our best to a void keeping company with bad people.

　　一個(gè)小心選擇朋友的人一定會(huì)從他們那里獲得益處。為什么？因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)世界里假朋友比真朋友要多。有一個(gè)真朋友要比有一百個(gè)假朋友來(lái)得好。凡是當(dāng)面奉承你的朋友不是真朋友。

　　我們必須和凡是具有良好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō)，我們應(yīng)盡力避免結(jié)交壞人。

　A LETTER TO A FRIEND 一封給友人的信

　　Dear X：We have not seen each other for a long time. I miss （think of） you very much. I wish （that） I had wings and could fly to your home. However， this is impossible！

　　Father （My father） has gone abroad of late. If I had had time then， I would have accompanied him. Only Mother （my mother） and I are at home now （at present）。 We are leading （living） a quiet and happy life. We look as if we were fairies. I hope （that） I can hear from you very often.

　　Sincerely yours.

　　親愛(ài)的××：

　　我們彼此有好久沒(méi)有見(jiàn)面了。我十分想我。我希望我有雙翅膀而且能夠飛到你家去。然而，這是不可能的！

　　我父親比較近出國(guó)了。我那時(shí)如果有時(shí)間的話，我就會(huì)陪著他去�，F(xiàn)在家里只有我母親和我。我們過(guò)著一個(gè)很寧?kù)o而快樂(lè)的生活。我們看起來(lái)好像神仙似的。希望我能常常接到你的信。

　　祝你好××× 敬上

　　KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 知識(shí)就是力量

　　If we have no knowledge， we cannot succeed in doing any work. Why？ Because knowledge is power. With knowledge we have conquered nature and invented steamers， trains and airplanes. We can send messages by telegram. We can talk with our friends by telephone.

　　As is well known， we students are the future masters of the nation. She （It） needs us very much. If we do not make efforts to acquire knowledge， how can we render service to her （it）？

　　如果我們沒(méi)有知識(shí)，我們就不能做成功任何事情。為什么？因?yàn)橹�識(shí)就是力量。馮藉知識(shí)我們征服了大自然，并且發(fā)明了輪船，火車(chē)與飛機(jī)。我們能用電報(bào)傳遞消息。我們能用電話和朋友談話。

　　如眾所周知，我們學(xué)生都是國(guó)家未來(lái)的主人翁。她非常需要我們。如果我們不努力去獲得知識(shí)，將來(lái)如何來(lái)報(bào)效她呢？

　HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION 我如何度過(guò)暑假

　　No sooner had the summer vacation begun than I returned to my native town. Of course I must make good use of it； otherwise I would incur the displeasure of my parents.

　　In the morning I reviewed my lessons and read newspapers or magazines. In the afternoon I played ball games with my friends or went fishing in the river. At night （In the night） I watched television with my family （the members of my family）。 hardly had the clock on the wall struck ten when I went to bed.

　　暑假剛一開(kāi)始，我就回故鄉(xiāng)了。自然我須好好利用它，否則我會(huì)招致父母的不快。

　　早晨我復(fù)習(xí)功課并閱讀報(bào)紙或雜志。下午我和朋友打球，或去河中釣魚(yú)。晚上我就和家人看看電視。墻上的鐘剛敲十下，我就去睡覺(jué)了。

　　THE ZOO 動(dòng)物園

　　The zoo is the most interesting place that I have ever seen in my whole life. It is like a garden which shows （exhibits） various kinds of animals， birds and insects.

　　It is indeed a good idea to pay a visit to the zoo during school holidays. The more you look at the animals， the happier you will become. Of （Among） all the animals， the monkey is （monkeys are） the funniest. That's my opinion. Do you agree.

　　動(dòng)物園是我一生中所知道的比較有趣的地方。它像一個(gè)各種類(lèi)類(lèi)動(dòng)物，鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)以及昆蟲(chóng)展覽的花園。

　　在學(xué)校放假期間，參觀一下動(dòng)物園，確實(shí)是一個(gè)好主意。你越喜歡看動(dòng)物，你將越變得快樂(lè)。在所有動(dòng)物中，猴子是比較滑稽的。那是我的意見(jiàn)。你同意么？

　MY NATIVE TOWN 我的故鄉(xiāng)

　　My native town is X. We have settled down here since my grandfather was a child. In other words， my family has lived here for more than one hundred years.

　　It is a small village. There are about one thousand inhabitants. Most of them are farmers. The mode of their living is very simple. However， they have already possessed television sets and refrigerators. They made up their minds to live a modern life.

　　我的故鄉(xiāng)是X.我們自從祖父是小孩時(shí)，就定居在此地。換句話說(shuō)，我們家人在此地已經(jīng)住了一百余年了。

　　這個(gè)小村莊。居民大約有一千人。他們大部分是農(nóng)夫。他們的生活方式很簡(jiǎn)單。然而，他們已擁有電視和冰箱。他們下定決心要過(guò)一個(gè)現(xiàn)代的生活。

　　MY SCHOOL LIFE 我的學(xué)校生活

　　When I was six years old， I began to go to school. The first school （which） I attended was a primary school. There were many subjects （which were taught in the school， such as Chinese， arithmetic， history， geography， drawing and so forth. Since I was （became） a student， I studied very hard. My parents were quite proud of me.

　　After I had studied there for three years， I entered a junior high school. When I was twelve years old， I became a student of a senior high school. I still studied very hard. Except on sick leave I was never absent from class. Everybody looked upon me as a model student.

　　我六歲的時(shí)候，就開(kāi)始上學(xué)了。我第一個(gè)上的學(xué)校是一所國(guó)小。學(xué)校里教的課目有許多，諸如國(guó)文，算術(shù)，史地，畫(huà)圖等等。既然我是一個(gè)學(xué)生，我就用功讀書(shū)。我父母深以我為榮。

　　我在那邊讀了三年后，就進(jìn)入初中。我十二歲的時(shí)候，就成為一個(gè)高中的物理學(xué)。我依舊用功讀書(shū)。除病假外，我永不缺課。人人都把我看作是一個(gè)模范生。

　BE PATRIOTIC 要愛(ài)國(guó)

　　It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful （To make the country rich and strong is……）。 In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic （love his country）。 I consider this an unchangeable truth.

　　How can a student love his country （be patriotic）？ I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his （the） country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said， the country will certainly be rich and powerful.

　　要使國(guó)家富強(qiáng)是每個(gè)公民的責(zé)任。為了達(dá)到此目的，必須愛(ài)國(guó)。我認(rèn)為這是一條不易的定理。

　　一個(gè)學(xué)生如何才能愛(ài)國(guó)呢？我發(fā)覺(jué)答復(fù)很簡(jiǎn)單明了。他必須用功讀書(shū)并積儲(chǔ)知識(shí)以便將來(lái)服務(wù)國(guó)家。如果每個(gè)學(xué)生能按照我所說(shuō)的去做，國(guó)家一定會(huì)富強(qiáng)。

THE values OF TIME 愛(ài)惜時(shí)光

　　An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it （this） wrong. Why？ Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time （in anyway）。 For this reason， we may （can） say that time is more valuable than money.

　　Many people do not know the values of time. It （this） is indeed a great pity. We must bear （keep） in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.

　　英國(guó)有句諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)，時(shí)間就是金錢(qián)。我認(rèn)為這是不對(duì)的。為什么？因?yàn)槲覀兇蠹叶贾�道我們能夠用工作賺錢(qián)，但無(wú)論如何卻無(wú)法把時(shí)間爭(zhēng)取回來(lái)。基于此種理由，我們可以說(shuō)時(shí)間比錢(qián)錢(qián)更寶貴。

　　許多人不知愛(ài)惜時(shí)光。這確實(shí)是可惜的。我們必須記住浪費(fèi)時(shí)間等于浪費(fèi)生命。

　WHY SHOULD WE STUDY ENGLISH 為什么我們要學(xué)英文

　　If you want to ask me why we should study English， my answer will be simple and clear. Now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following.

　　In the first place， English has become an international language. If you know English， you van make a trip round the world without being misunderstood.

　　In the second place， most valuable books， newspapers and magazines are written in English. If you wish （hope） to get knowledge， you must learn English.

　　如果你要問(wèn)我們?yōu)槭裁次覀円獙W(xué)英文。我的答復(fù)很簡(jiǎn)單明了�，F(xiàn)在讓我來(lái)把我的理由一一列舉在下面：

　　英文已成為一種國(guó)際語(yǔ)言。如果你通曉它，你可以環(huán)游世界不會(huì)被人誤解。

　　大多數(shù)有價(jià)值的書(shū)籍，報(bào)紙和雜志都是用英文寫(xiě)的。如果你希望獲得知識(shí)，你必須學(xué)習(xí)英文。

　　MY BIRTHDAY 我的生日

　　Yesterday was my birthday， so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.

　　The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate， talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.

　　Time passed quickly. In a twinkling， the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say "Good-bye" to one another.

　　昨天是我生日，所以有幾位我的同班同學(xué)送我禮。母親給我準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)茶會(huì)。我邀請(qǐng)他們都前來(lái)參加。

　　茶會(huì)下午六點(diǎn)半開(kāi)始。有冷飲和點(diǎn)心。我們又吃又談?dòng)中�。我們覺(jué)得是世界上比較快樂(lè)的人。

　　時(shí)間過(guò)得很快。轉(zhuǎn)瞬間，墻上的鐘敲九點(diǎn)了。我們不得不互道再見(jiàn)。

　HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日

　　Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours （time） of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest， we must make good use of them.

　　We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides， we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.

　　我們?cè)S多人終是把星期日毫無(wú)目的地消度掉。這確實(shí)是十分可惜。我們很少能從星期日的寶貴時(shí)光中獲得益處。雖然星期日是被指定為一個(gè)休息的日子，但是我們卻應(yīng)好好利用它。

　　我們知道我們學(xué)校的功課通常是不夠的。我們應(yīng)時(shí)常利用星期日來(lái)閱讀參考書(shū)。如此我們的知識(shí)就會(huì)增加了。此外，我們必須從事運(yùn)動(dòng)或郊游以便強(qiáng)壯我們的身體。

　　HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 誠(chéng)為上策

　　There is an English proverb which says （saying） "Honesty is the best policy." It signifies the importance of honesty.

　　What are the benefits of honesty？ If you are honest to others， they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad， they will comfort you. When you are in trouble， they will help you.

　　There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word， a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and （be） regarded as a public enemy.

　　英國(guó)有一句諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)"誠(chéng)為上策".它說(shuō)明了誠(chéng)的重要性。

　　誠(chéng)的益處是什么？如果你對(duì)他人誠(chéng)實(shí)，他們也會(huì)對(duì)你誠(chéng)實(shí)作為報(bào)答。當(dāng)你憂悉的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)安慰你。當(dāng)你是處在困難中的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)幫助你。

　　無(wú)法在這里數(shù)述不誠(chéng)實(shí)的害處。一言以蔽之，一個(gè)不誠(chéng)實(shí)的人會(huì)被人看輕的而且被看作為一個(gè)公敵。

　　HOW EXERCISE HELPS 運(yùn)動(dòng)的利益

　　If our bodies are not strong， our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time， we are lack of energy （ies） to study. Diseases will only attack the weak， but not the strong.

　　Why are our bodies not strong？ Because we do not pay attention to exercise. For this reason， we students must often take different kinds （sorts） of exercise in the gym.

　　Exercise helps us （to） strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation， for most exercise is played by team.

　　如果我們的身體不強(qiáng)壯，我們做事的精神一定會(huì)十分遲鈍。而且同時(shí)，我們也缺少足夠的精力來(lái)讀書(shū)。疾病只為侵擊體弱的人而不是強(qiáng)壯的人。

　　為什么我們的身體會(huì)不強(qiáng)壯呢？因?yàn)槲覀儾蛔⒁膺\(yùn)動(dòng)�；�于此種理由，我們學(xué)生必須時(shí)常在運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)做不同種類(lèi)的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

　　運(yùn)動(dòng)幫助我們強(qiáng)壯身體并避免疾病。它也教我們合作，因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)的運(yùn)動(dòng)都是團(tuán)體游玩的。

　　THE BENEFITS OF TRAVELING 旅行的益處

　　I am always interested in traveling. My reasons are quite （extremely） simple and clear. If anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint（s）， I shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.

　　In the first place， traveling increases our knowledge. Only by traveling can we see （因?yàn)橛茫╫nly）開(kāi)頭，主動(dòng)詞須顛倒）things outside our home town.

　　In the second place， traveling is good to our health. While we are traveling， we usually exercise our bodies.

　　In conclusion， I earnestly hope that everybody must seize （grasp at） the opportunity of traveling.

　　我對(duì)旅行終是感覺(jué)有趣。我的理由非常簡(jiǎn)單時(shí)了。如果任何人對(duì)我的觀點(diǎn)不滿(mǎn)意的話，我將對(duì)他的想法會(huì)大大吃驚。

　　旅行增加我們的知識(shí)。只有藉旅行我們可以看到我們故鄉(xiāng)以外的東西。

　　旅行對(duì)我們的健康有益。當(dāng)我們旅行的時(shí)候，我們通常運(yùn)動(dòng)我們的身體。

　HOW TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN 如何做一個(gè)好公民

　　My aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the （my） country. However， to become a good citizen is not an easy thing. He has many duties to fulfill.

　　The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. He is to （must） be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.

　　His second duty is to obey the law and help the government （to） maintain order. If everybody can do so， the country will be rich and strong （powerful）。

　　我的志向是做一個(gè)好公民以便能給國(guó)家效力。然而，做一個(gè)好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有許多責(zé)任要盡。

　　一個(gè)好公民第一件責(zé)任是愛(ài)他的國(guó)家。他須準(zhǔn)備為國(guó)家犧牲自己的生命。

　　他第二件責(zé)任是服從法律并且?guī)椭�政府維持治安。如果人人都能這樣做的話，國(guó)家必定富強(qiáng)。

　　THE NATIONAL FLAG 國(guó)旗

　　it is the duty of every citizen to honor the national flag. Why？ Because the national flag is the symbol of a （the） country. To respect it means to respect the country. In other words， if a man loves his country， he must love the national flag.

　　In school， the national flag is usually raised at a certain time every day. Then the principal， teachers， staff and students are to （must） stand before it and sing the national anthem. It is indeed extremely meaningful to attend such a ceremony.

　　尊敬國(guó)旗是每個(gè)公民的責(zé)任（義務(wù)）。為什么？因?yàn)閲?guó)旗是國(guó)家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬國(guó)家。換句話說(shuō)，如果一個(gè)人愛(ài)國(guó)，他必須愛(ài)國(guó)旗。

　　在學(xué)校里，通常每天定時(shí)要升旗。那時(shí)，校長(zhǎng)，老師，教職員學(xué)生教師將恭敬地站在它前面并且唱國(guó)歌。參加此項(xiàng)儀式確實(shí)非常有意義。

　THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION 教育的重要性

　　It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education. Why？ Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country. No wonder they say that education decides the progress， prosperity and civilization of a country.

　　At present （Nowadays） most countries in （of） the world are enforcing compulsory education. It is necessary for all kinds of people， both rich and poor， to receive education. Taiwan is an exception as well not.

　　我們不可能使我們的國(guó)家富強(qiáng)而不發(fā)展教育。為什么？因?yàn)榻逃�給予人民知識(shí)并教他們?nèi)绾纬蔀楹霉�民以便能為�?guó)家效力。難怪，有人說(shuō)教育決定一個(gè)國(guó)家的進(jìn)步，繁榮與文化。

　　現(xiàn)在世界大多數(shù)的國(guó)家都在實(shí)施強(qiáng)迫教育。所有各類(lèi)人民不論貧富都必須接受教育。臺(tái)灣也不例外。

　　INDUSTRY （DILIGENCE） 勤勉

　　It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success， wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.

　　Idleness is the opposite of industry. It is the source of all evil. An idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures. That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt. We should not follow his example.

　　勤勉會(huì)帶給我們成功，財(cái)富和好運(yùn)乃是當(dāng)然之事。我確信一個(gè)苦干的人終是能夠做成功他所要做的工作。這是不易之定理。

　　懶惰是勤勉的反面。它是萬(wàn)惡之源泉。一個(gè)懶惰的人只享受玩耍和尋樂(lè)。他命運(yùn)注定失敗是毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)的。我們不應(yīng)學(xué)他的榜樣。

　WAR 戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)

　　Though the people in the world are all opposed to war， they can by no means avoid it. This is indeed a regrettable thing.

　　War is very terrible. Everybody hears it with fear. In a war thousands and thousands of lives will be lost and a large amount of money （will be） wasted. It brings us untold miseries and damage.

　　To sum up， so long as war is unavoidable， human beings cannot enjoy lasting peace. How tragical their fate is！

　　雖然世界的人民都反對(duì)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，但是他們卻無(wú)法能夠避免它。這確實(shí)是件非常令人遺憾的事情。

　　戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)是非�？膳碌�。每個(gè)人聽(tīng)到它都害怕。在一次戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中，成千成萬(wàn)的人喪失了生命，大量金錢(qián)浪費(fèi)了。它帶給我們無(wú)窮盡的痛苦和損失。

　　總而言之，只要戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)不可避免，人類(lèi)不可能享受持久的和平。他們的命運(yùn)是多么悲慘呀！

　　COOD HEALTH 良好的健康

　　We all wish （hope） to be happy， so we should take good care of our health.

　　Health is the best treasure （which） a man can possess. Money can do many things， but it cannot buy happiness. However， so long as man has good health， he can enjoy the pleasures of human life.

　　In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things. They are-nourishing food， fresh air and proper exercise.

　　我們大家都希望快樂(lè)，所以我們應(yīng)該好好保重健康。一個(gè)病人因?yàn)槭�去健康而很少快�?lè)。

　　健康是一個(gè)人所能擁有比較好的財(cái)富。錢(qián)能做許多事情，但是它卻不能購(gòu)買(mǎi)。然而，只要一個(gè)人有良好的健康，他就能享受人生的樂(lè)趣。

　　為了保證良好的健康，我們必須注意三件事情。它們是營(yíng)養(yǎng)食物，新鮮空氣和正當(dāng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。

THE CHINESE NEW YEAR 中國(guó)新年

　　I like the Chinese new year better than any other festival. This is a time especially for rest and joy. I need not study. I wear good clothes and eat good food. I have a good time from morning till night. To be frank with you， I am as happy as a king.

　　The Chinese new year lasts as long as fifteen days. It gives us more pleasure than we have imagined. After that we have to（比用must來(lái)得好）resume our normal work.

　　我喜歡中國(guó)新年比喜歡其它任何節(jié)日更甚。這是一個(gè)專(zhuān)為休息和歡樂(lè)的時(shí)間。我不需要讀書(shū)。我穿好衣服，吃好東西。我每天從早到晚日子過(guò)得輕松愉快。坦白地說(shuō)，我和帝一樣快樂(lè)。

　　中國(guó)新年持續(xù)十五天之久，它給我們的歡樂(lè)比我們想像中的更多。之后，我們就得恢復(fù)我們正常的工作了。

　　錢(qián)

　　Everybody wishes （hopes） to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words， money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live without it. For this reason， we have an interesting proverb. It says "Money can make the world go around." In a word， money is more powerful than anything else.

　　However， money should not be wasted. It must be used for （some） proper purposes. We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way.

　　每個(gè)人為了能夠維持生活，所以都希望得到錢(qián)。換句話說(shuō)，錢(qián)是非常有用，所以沒(méi)有它人類(lèi)即無(wú)法生活。基于此種理由，我們有一句有趣的諺語(yǔ)。它說(shuō)有"錢(qián)能使鬼推磨".一言以蔽之，錢(qián)比任何另外的東西更有力量。

　　然而，錢(qián)不應(yīng)該被浪費(fèi)掉。它必須用于正當(dāng)?shù)挠猛旧�。我們青年人�?yīng)該養(yǎng)成不亂花錢(qián)的好習(xí)慣。
