To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, 一粒沙中看世界,一朵野花见天堂。 Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
将无垠握在手中,见永恒于一瞬间。 —William Blake Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching. Sing like nobody’s listening. Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.
去工作时,犹如你不执迷于金钱。 去爱他人,犹如你从未曾被伤害。 去舞蹈吧,犹如无人在一旁观看。 去歌唱吧,犹如无人在一边谛听。 好好地生活,犹如这里是人间乐土。 Meet, or not 见或不见
Whether you meet me, or not , I am right there without sorrow, or joy.
你见,或者不见我,我就在那里, 不悲不喜;
Whether you miss me, or not, affection is right there without coming or going
你念,或者不念我,情就在那里,不来不去;
Whether you love me, or not, love is right there without increasing or decreasing.
你爱,或者不爱我,爱就在那里,不增不减;
Whether you are with me or not, my hand is right in yours without parting or abandoning.
你跟,或者不跟我,我的手就在你手里,不舍不弃;
Come into my arms and heart Or Let me stay in your mind 来我的怀里,或者,让我住进你的心里。 Silence Love. Calmness Joy.
默然,相爱; 寂静,欢喜。
Teacher’s Prayer
I want to teach my students how to live this life on earth, 我想教会学生如何去生活, To face its struggle and its strife(冲突) and improve their worth. 如何面对困难,完善自我。 Not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow, 不只是书本知识或是自然奥秘, But how to choose the proper path wherever they may go. 而是如何走好人生之旅。 To understand eternal truth and know the right from wrong, 学会去辨别是非,找寻真理, And gather all the beauty of a flower and a song. 从平凡的点滴中发掘美的韵律。 For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace , 如果我的存在使这个世界更加绚丽, Then, I shall feel that I have won and I have filled my place. 那么我也就实现了自己的人生目的。 And so I ask my guidance, God, that I may do my part, 所以苍天作证,我已全心全意, For character and confidence and happiness of heart. 诠释了品格、信心和幸福的真谛。
泰戈尔《飞鸟与鱼》
世界上最遥远的距离 The most distant way in the world 不是生与死的距离 is not the way from birth to the end. 而是我就站在你面前 It is when I sit near you
你却不知道我爱你 that you don't understand I love you. 世界上最遥远的距离 The most distant way in the world 不是我就站在你面前 is not that you're not sure I love you.
你却不知道我爱你 It is when my love is bewildering the soul 而是爱到痴迷 but I can't speak it out 却不能说我爱你
世界上最遥远的距离 不是我不能说我爱你 而是想你痛彻心脾 却只能深埋心底 世界上最遥远的距离 不是我不能说我想你 而是彼此相爱 却不能够在一起 世界上最遥远的距离 不是彼此相爱 却不能够在一起 而是明知道真爱无敌 却装作毫不在意
世界上最遥远的距离 不是树与树的距离 而是同根生长的树枝 却无法在风中相依 世界上最遥远的距离 不是树枝无法相依 而是相互了望的星星 却没有交汇的轨迹 世界上最遥远的距离 不是星星没有交汇的轨迹 而是纵然轨迹交汇 却在转瞬间无处寻觅 世界上最遥远的距离 不是瞬间便无处寻觅 而是尚未相遇 便注定无法相聚 世界上最遥远的距离 是鱼与飞鸟的距离 一个翱翔天际 一个却深潜海底
The most distant way in the world is not that I can't say I love you. It is after looking into my heart I can't change my love.
The most distant way in the world is not that I'm loving you. It is in our love
we are keeping between the distance. The most distant way in the world is not the distance across us.
It is when we're breaking through the way we deny the existence of love. So the most distant way in the world is not in two distant trees. It is the same rooted branches can't enjoy the co-existence.
So the most distant way in the world is not in the being separated branches. It is in the blinking stars they can't burn the light.
So the most distant way in the world is not the burning stars. It is after the light
they can't be seen from afar.
So the most distant way in the world is not the light that is fading away. It is the coincidence of us is not supposed for the love.
So the most distant way in the world is the love between the fish and bird. One is flying in the sky,
the other is looking upon into the sea. 1.句型: engage (sb.) in sth; sb. be engaged in sth.
Make Full Use of Time
A proverb says:“Time is money.” But in my opinion, time is even more precious than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time.
It goes without saying that the time for our study and work is unusually limited. Hence, even an hour is extremely precious. We should make full use of our time to do useful things. As students we must not relax our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve our nation and people in the future.
But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They spend their precious time smoking, drinking and gambling. They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting their valuable life.
In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty. 2. The Importance of Extensive Reading
What is extensive reading? Extensive reading is reading a lot. When you are doing extensive reading, you should not be reaching for a dictionary every sentence or even every paragraph because its main goal is to read for knowledge and pleasure.
Through extensive reading, you learn and accumulate knowledge, and gradually become wise and intelligent. For example, by reading scientific books, we are informed of many facts; by reading history, we are told of the growth of the nations.
It is by reading that we can learn many things without actually seeing or hearing them. What is more, with a good book in our hands we will never feel lonely and dull. Books introduce us to great people. They take us to all the countries in the world and tell us stories of all ages.
“Reading makes a full man”, said by Francis Bacon. Therefore, no matter how high our education may be or how much experience we may have, we cannot become a full man unless we keep extensive reading.
3.句型: be indulged in sth.
Video Games
Video games have become very popular in recent years. Wherever you go you can always see youngsters or even adults indulged in the games. When they play the games in clubs, stores, or at homes, they concentrate all their attention on them, with their hands busily operating. Obviously, video games give them great pleasure and excitement.
Video games are a kind of wonderful entertainment. They bring great pleasure to youngsters, train them to respond quickly, stimulate their imagination and interest in electronics and computer science. IN short, video games play a good part in the development of youngsters’ intelligence.
Just as a coin has two sides, video games also have some disadvantages. Some young people, especially school children, spend too much time playing them, which does harm to their health and eyes and affects their school achievements. Only if one has enough self-control can he benefit from video games. 4.句型: It is high time that sb. did sth.
Traffic problems
Traffic is one of the essential activities for any big metropolis. Each day, passengers travel by car, train or plane to and from every corner of the cities; heavy loads of goods are transported inside and outside. With the modernization in full swing, traffic has been making greater impact on the life of the cities. What a mess the cities would be in, if the arteries of such vital importance were out of action, even for a minute!
Owing to the major role it plays, traffic has long been a matter of serious concern for many municipal
governments. In the past decade, new bus routes have been opened to traffic and a lot more vehicles put into service, many highways, flying-bridges as well as underground subways have been built to ease out the “bottlenecks”. Meanwhile, new traffic projects are under consideration.
For all these efforts, traffic in big cities like Beijing and Guangzhou still remains one of the biggest headaches. Traffic jams during rush hours, bus delays, and frays are a way of life with people in the big cities. In addition, traffic accidents occur with alarming frequency, resulting in heavy losses in both state property and lives. It is high time that traffic problems were given top priority on government agendas if China wants to catch up with developed countries. 5. 句型: struggle against sth.
Physical Exercise
Maintaining our health is very important. No one should trifle with one’s health. Since youth is the time of physical development, we must do regular physical exercise every day in order to have a strong body and enjoy vigorous health.
In physical exercise, perseverance is a primary necessity. We must struggle against our own laziness and stay with our exercise, rain or shine. It is also important to select personally suitable exercises and then to do them in an orderly way, step by step. Of course, exercises that we enjoy we will perform more persistently.
Besides, it is a known fact that physical exercise, such as long-distance races, can also generally strengthen our perseverance. Dear friends, especially those with health problems, come out to the playground and take part in exercises with us.
6. 句型:sb. follows sth Generation Gap
Despite various improvements in all aspects of social life, the generation gap between the grown-up and the young remains unbridged. Instead, it grows wider apart.
Nowadays, the youths do not blindly follow what their elders say. Owing to widespread education, the influence of western civilization, to certain extent, gives them a new code of philosophy, which is completely different from that of their elders. An invisible wall thus appears between the two generations. Modern youths are trying to be more revolutionary. They have their own interpretation for different matters; they also have their own ideas. Their reluctance to learn old teachings and sayings becomes the constant friction between the two generations. They always introduce new changes. However, the old people, wedded to everything of the past, are hostile to changes. Thus, the generation gap becomes wider and wider.
After all, the young generation, like the old one, is made of flesh and blood. The young also need respect and they also have skills and good ideas. In order to narrow the gap, both groups should respect each other, listen to each other and should discuss their problems patiently. 7. 句型: …is a good case in point; Take…as an example.
Practice Makes Perfect
It is well-known to everyone that practice makes perfect. This self-evident proverb means that the more we practice, the more likely we are going to do things perfectly.
Learning a foreign language like English is a good case in point. You must practice listening, speaking, reading and writing so as to acquire the language. Otherwise, you will clean forget about it. Take my classmate, Xiao Wang, as an example. He seldom spends time in learning English. As a result, his English is very poor and he begins to hate English now. Unlike him, I spend more than five hours each day learning English. So the natural consequence is that I have a good mastery of the language and my interest in it grows.
A lesson that we can draw from the above examples is obvious. Practice is crucial to our success not only in study but also in our future work. Only through repeated practice can one be good at doing things.
