青春的骄傲The Pride of Youth
作者：Walter Scott 沃尔特·斯科特(英)
Proud Maisie is in the wood,
Walking so early;
Sweet Robin sits on the bush,
Singing so rarely.
“tell me ,thou bonny bird,
when shall I marry me?”
-“when six braw gentlemen
kirkward shall carry ye.”
“who makes the bridal bed,
birdie, say truly?”
-“The gray-headed sexton
That delves the grave duly.
“The glowworm o’er grave and stone
Shall light thee steady;
The owl from the steeple sing,
Welcome, proud lady.”
骄傲的梅西漫步林间，
踩着晨曦;
伶俐的知更鸟栖息树丛，
唱得甜蜜。
“告诉我，美丽的鸟儿，
我哪年哪月穿嫁装?”--
“等到六个殡葬人
抬你上教堂。”
“谁为我铺新床?
好鸟儿，莫撒谎。”--
“白发司事，兼挖墓穴，
误不了你的洞房。”
“萤火虫幽幽闪闪，
把你的坟墓照亮，送葬，
猫头鹰将在塔尖高唱：
欢迎你，骄傲的姑娘。”
for the love of my fatherover the years, i never thought of my father asbeing very emotional, and he never was, at least not in front of me. even thoughhe was 68 years old and only five-foot-nine, while i was six feet and 260pounds, he seemed huge to me. i always saw him as being that staunchdisciplinarian who rarely cracked a smile. my father never told me he loved mewhen i was a child, and i never held it against him. i think that all i reallywanted was for my dad to be proud of me. in my youth, mom always showered mewith “i love you’s” every day. so i really never thought about not hearing itfrom my dad. i guess deep down i knew that he loved me, he just never said it.come to think of it, i don’t think i ever told him that i loved him, either. inever really thought about it much until i faced the reality of death.
on november 9th, 1990, i received word that my national guard unit was beingactivated for operation desert shield. we would convoy to fort ben harrison,indiana, and then directly to saudi arabia. i had been in the guard for 10 yearsand never dreamed that we would be activated for a war, even though i knew itwas what we trained for. i went to my father and gave him the news. i couldsense he was uneasy about me going. we never discussed it much more, and eightdays later i was gone.
i have several close relatives who have been in the military during war time.my father and uncle were in world war ii, and two brothers and a sister servedin vietnam. while i was extremely uneasy about leaving my family to serve mycountry in a war zone, i knew it was what i had to do. i prayed that this wouldmake my father proud of me. my father is very involved in the veterans offoreign wars organization and has always been for a strong military. i was noteligible to join the veterans of foreign wars because i had not been in a warzone—a fact that always made me feel like i didn’t measure up in my father’seyes. but now here i was, his youngest son, being shipped off to a foreign land9,000 miles away, to fight a war in a country we had barely heard of before.
on november 17, 1990, our convoy of military vehicles rolled out of ruralgreenville, michigan. the streets were filled with families and well-wishers tosee us off. as we approached the edge of town, i looked out the window of mytruck and saw my wife, kim, my children, and mom and dad. they were all wavingand crying, except for my father. he just stood there, almost like a stonestatue. he looked incredibly old at that moment. i don’t know why, he justdid.
i was gone for that thanksgiving and missed our family’s dinner. there wasalways a crowd, with two of my sisters, their husbands and children, plus mywife and our family. it disturbed me greatly that i couldn’t be there. a fewdays after thanksgiving i was able to call my wife, and she told me somethingthat has made me look at my father in a different way ever since.
my wife knew how my father was about his emotions, and i could hear her voicequaver as she spoke to me. she told me that my father recited his usualthanksgiving prayer. but this time he added one last sentence. as his voicestarted to crack and a tear ran down his cheek, he said, “dear lord, pleasewatch over and guide my son, rick, with your hand in his time of need as heserves his country, and bring him home to us safely.” at that point he burstinto tears. i had never seen my father cry, and when i heard this, i couldn’thelp but start to cry myself. my wife asked me what was wrong. after regainingmy composure, i said, “i guess my father really does love me.”
eight months later, when i returned home from the war, i ran over and huggedmy wife and children in a flurry of tears. when i came to my father, i embracedhim and gave him a huge hug. he whispered in my ear, “i’m very proud of you,son, and i love you.” i looked that man, my dad, straight in the eyes as i heldhis head between my hands and i said, “i love you too, dad,” and we embracedagain. and then together, both of us cried.
ever since that day, my relationship with my father has never been the same.we have had many deep conversations. i learned that he’s always been proud ofme, and he’s not afraid to say “i love you” anymore. neither am i. i’m justsorry it took 29 years and a war to find it out.
"maybe you will forget those who shared pleasure with you, but you willremember those who tasted tears with you. " kahlil cirbran

everyone has a lot of friends and he must have his own friendship as well.but usually only when you get into trouble, will you know what the truefriendship is. the friend in need is the friend in deed. only the real friendswill help you when you are in trouble. if you establish your friendship when youare in trouble, make it go on forever.
每个人都有很多朋友，也一定有属于他自己的友谊。但是，通常只有当你遇到困难时，你才能知道什么是真正的友谊。患难见真情，只有真正的朋友会在你身处困境时帮助你。如果你在逆境中将友谊建立，那么请让它继续到永远。
maybe a boy and a girl become good friends. they feel very happy when theyare each other, but other students may think that they have fallen in love. ifyou were one of them, what would you do? if i were in that position, i would notcare about what anyone else may say. i only care about her feeling. we shouldknow that our friendship is pure without anything bad mixed. friendship is veryimportant for everyone, so i will let my friendship last forever.
也许一个女孩和一个男孩成为了好朋友，他们在一起会感到很幸福。但是，其他同学会认为他们相爱了。如果你是其中之一，你会怎么办?如果是我，我将不会在乎别人说什么，我只在乎她的感觉。我们应该明白，我们的友谊是纯洁的，是不含任何杂质的`。友谊对每个人都很重要，所以我会让我们的友谊继续下去。
everyone should know that he can not lose his opposite sex friends. if you donot make friends with your opposite sex classmates, then you have already losthalf of the friends. so you can make friends with all your classmates, and don'tbe shy. you should also pay enough attention to the friendship that you havealready established. don’t undermine it unless you want to hurt him. you shouldnever try to do so, for if you do that you will lose much in emotion.
每个人都应该明白你不能失去异性的朋友如果你不与异性同学交朋友，那么你就已经失去了一半朋友。所以你可以与你所有的同学交朋友，不要害羞。你同样也应该重视你已经建立的友谊，不要破坏它，除非你想伤害他。不过，请不要去尝试，如果你这么做你会失去太多的感情。
please cherish everything that you have already possessed. maybe you don'tcare about it now. but when you lose it, you will find that how important itis.
请珍惜你所拥有的一切也许你现在并不在乎，但当你失去时你会发现它是多么的重要。
It is human nature that all of us should be fond of beauty. Everybody was born with a heart for beauty.
Today in China,with the rising of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly. Some people spare no money or energy on beautiful clothes, fashionable hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks. But it seems to me,all these are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.
In my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance and neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty. As we all know,so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only beautiful appearance to be mentioned, but to us humanbeings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important. This was confirmed by a famous Russian writer in words much like this: “A person is not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely. ”
Here, I'd like to quote two typical instances and I'm sure, my dear friends,from them you'll find out what real beauty is.
Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer. She is very charming with a sweet beautiful voice and very famous for singing the song.“Devotion of Love”。 Not long ago,she was invited to Zhejiang Province to give performance. The moment she was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward. Worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once. Instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece. Thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour. So when she at last showed up and started to sing “Devotion of Love”，a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,“You don't have any devotion of love. You are not qualified to sing this song ! ”Hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the man. At this time the whole audience burst into an uproar.
