The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.
元宵节是在阴历正月的十五,通常在阳历的二月或三月。早在西汉时期(公元前206年至公元25年),它已经成为具有重要意义的节日。
This day's important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddha's body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.
这一天的重要活动看花灯。在汉代(公元前206年至公元220年),佛教在中国盛行。一个皇帝听说僧侣可以看到舍利,或是从火化的佛体中能得到舍利,他就下令阴历第一个月的第十五天在故宫和寺庙点灯拜佛来展示对佛的尊敬。后来,佛教仪式发展成为普通民众的重大节日,而其影响从中原地区一直蔓延到整个中国。
Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival.
直到今天,全国各地每年都举行元宵节。各种形状和大小的灯笼挂在街上,吸引无数的游客。孩子们提着自制或购买的灯笼在街上闲逛,非常兴奋。”猜灯谜”是这个节日的重要组成部分。
Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.
灯笼的主人会将谜语写在一张纸上,贴在灯笼上。如果游客能解开灯谜,他们就能将纸条拿去灯笼的主人那里检查他们的答案是否正确。如果他们是对的,他们将会得到一份小礼物。在宋代(960-1279)出现了灯笼,人民喜欢这个活动。猜灯谜是有趣和充满智慧的,它已成为深受社会各阶层的喜爱。
People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.
在那一天人们会吃元宵,粽子,因此,被称为“元宵节”。元宵还有另外一个名字,汤圆。那是一种小粽子由糯米粉和玫瑰花瓣,芝麻,豆沙,枣糊,核桃肉,干水果,糖和食用油做成的。汤圆可以煮,炒或蒸。它的味道是甜的,美味的。而且,汤圆在中国与“团圆”的发音相似,含义团聚。因此人们吃汤圆来表联盟,家庭和谐与幸福。
In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.
在节日的白天有如舞龙,舞狮,划旱船,扭秧歌,踩高跷和打太平鼓等的表演。在晚上,除了华丽的花灯,艳丽多姿的烟火也形成了美丽的景色。大多数家庭在春节腾出一些烟花,留到元宵节放。一些地方政府甚至会组织焰火晚会。在新年的第一个月圆的晚上,人们都陶醉在燃放的烟火和空中的明月。
Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example with the developmet of cities the using of insecticide and serious pollution their living areas have become narrower and narrower. Many of the wild animals now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time man is killing off species just for getting their fur skin horns teeth and meat.
In order to protect our resources of ecology people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keep down poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life.
Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.
许多野生动物正面临灭绝的危险因为它们生活的环境发生了巨大变化。例如随着城市的发展杀虫剂的使用和严重的污染野生动物的生活区域变得越来越窄。许多的野生动物现在面临粮食危机。同时人是杀死物种只是为了得到他们的皮毛皮肤、角、牙齿和肉。
为了保护我们的资源的生态人们应该意识到任何物种的丧失是至少失去的知识来源和自然美景。因此应采取以下措施:污染标准是用来降低毒物的;禁止杀死某些稀有物种;国家公园应该建立野生动物的生活。
只有我们人类采取一些有力措施才能保护野生动物。
The Earth is our only home.Each of us can not leave Earth to survive.however,in recent years, with people's living standards improve , people are eager to get it from the earth more and more things to satisfy material needs, the Earth has been overwhelmed.
Our excessive greed causing Earth 's revenge,such as earthquakes and floods.Every retaliation will lead to a large number of casualties and every time is a painful lesson.
So,in order to improve the quality of our life,We have to take steps to protect the Earth.But,how can we prevent our earth? As far as i am concerned,the most important method is implement Sustainable Development Strategy. Second,we need a strict legal limit people's behavior.Last but not the least,Vigorously promote the protection of the Earth's knowledge is also an important way.
In a word,earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need but not every man’s greed.
地球是我们唯一的家。我们每个人都不能离开地球生存。然而,近年来,随着人民生活水平提高,人们渴望得到它从地球上越来越多的东西来满足物质需求,地球已经不堪重负。
我们过度的贪婪导致地球的报复,例如地震和洪水。每一个报复将导致大量的人员伤亡和每次是一个痛苦的教训。
因此,为了提高我们的生活质量,我们必须采取措施保护地球。但是,我们如何防止我们的地球?就我而言,最重要的方法是实现可持续发展战略。其次,我们需要一个严格的法律限制人们的行为。最后,大力宣传保护地球的知识也是一个重要的方法。
总之,地球提供了足以满足每个人的需要,而不是每个人的贪婪。

We Must Face FailureAs we all know, "Failure is the mother of success." But few people can really understand what the saying means.In the world, I am sure that no one dare say he hasnt met any trouble all his life. So we must face failure. In fact, failure is not fearful, but important thing is how to face it correctly. Facing failure, people will never take their fate lying down.They will try their best to work harder and harder until at last they succeed.Not being courageous to face setbacks, people have no chance to enjoy the pleasure of success. So they have nothing to do but feel sad and empty all day and all night. In fact, they lose the chance of success themselves.My friend, whenever in trouble, please remember, "Failure is the mother of success.
"我们必须面对失败我们都知道:“失败是成功之母。”但真正理解这句话的人却不多。我相信,世界上没有一个人敢说他一生中从没遇到过任何麻烦。因此,我们必须面对失败。其实,失败并不可怕,重要的是如何正确看待它。敢于面对失败,人们将不再由命运摆布。他们将全力以赴的辛勤工作,直到最后成功。不敢面对挫折,人们也就没有机会享受成功的喜悦。他们会无所事事,终日沮丧而空虚。事实上,是他们自己把成功的机会丧失了。朋友们,无论何时你遇到了困难,请记住:“失败是成功之母。”
In the 1920s, a man from England had finish climbing the Himalayas which was thought to the most difficult mountain to conquer. People spoke highly of him and asked him how he conquered the mountain. The man said calmly that he conquered nothing but himself. These words seem to be simple, but for me, they are meaningful. When we face the difficulties, we will give up because we think we cant do it. With that thought, we have given up so many chances to try. Life is a journey, if we stop keeping moving on, how can we see the coming scenery. It is obvious that the problem is ourselves, we are afraid of failure and refuse to try. If we get over this thought and have a try, then we are heading to the road of success. When we conquer ourselves, we are successful.
在20世纪20年代,一个来自英国的人完成了攀登喜马拉雅山的壮举,而喜马拉雅山被认为是最难攻克的。人们高度赞扬了这个英国人,并且问他是如何征服这座山的。他平静地说他什么也没有征服,只有征服了自己。这些话看起来很简单,但是对于我来说,确是意义深远。当我们面对困难,就会放弃,因为我们认为自己无法做到。有了这样的想法,我们就已经放弃了很多机会去尝试。生活就是一场旅行,如果我们停下了,不前进,怎么能够看到接下来的风景呢。很明显,问题在于我们,我们害怕失败,拒绝去尝试。如果我们克服了这样的想法,并且去尝试,就会通往成功的道路。当我们征服了自己,就是成功了。
Be good to everyone who becomes attached to us; cherish every friend who is by our side;
善待,每一个和我们结缘的人;珍惜,我们身边的每一个朋友;
love everyone who walks into our life.
爱,生命中,每一个和我们结缘的人。
It must be fate to get acquainted in a huge crowd of people…
茫茫的人海中,相识,其实,就是缘分……
I feel, the love that Osho talks about, maybe is a kind of pure love beyond the mundane world, which is full of divinity and caritas, and overflows with Buddhist allegorical words and gestures,
感觉,奥修所说的,也许是一种纯净、超越世俗和男女,充满神性和佛性的博爱,弥发,一种禅性和机锋,
but, it seems that I cannot see through its true meaning forever…
而我,却好像永远,都,无法参透……
Maybe, I do not just “absorb” your love; but because the love overpowers me and I am unable to
dispute and refuse it…
也许,我并不只是”接受”;而是,因为那种爱,让我,情不自禁、无法抗拒、不能拒绝……
Do you know? It’s you who light up my life! And I stubbornly believe that such love can only be experienced once in my life.
知道吗?是你,点燃了我的生命!而我,固执的相信,这种情感,在我的生命中,只有一次。
Because of love, we won’t be lonely anymore; because of yearning, we taste more loneliness.
因为爱,我们,不再孤单;因为思念,品尝,更多的寂寞
When we see the successful people, it is natural for us to feel jealous. We see their power and fame, wishing we can be one of them. But the fact is that who knows what these successful people have paied for. I remember the top swimmer Michael Phillips described his daily life. He said that he had to practise so hard, even on the Christmas Day, when other people were enjoying the family reunion, he was working hard on the swimming pool and making himself stronger. We always see the celebrities’ glory but always ignore their hard-working. They deserve the honor and people’s respect. If we want to be successful, we must work hard.
【参考译文】
当我们看到别人的成功时,总是会很自然地感到嫉妒。我们看到了他们的权力和名声,也希望自己可以成为其中一员。但事实是,又有谁知道这些成功人士付出了什么。我记得顶尖游泳运动员迈克尔菲利普斯描述他的日常生活时说,他非常努力练习,即使是在圣诞节,别人在欢度家庭聚会时,他还在游泳队中训练,努力让自己变得更强。我们总是只看到名人的荣耀却看不到他们的辛勤。他们值得拥有这些荣誉和人们的尊重。如果我们想要成功,就必须要努力。

In the nuclear reaction process does not produce the greenhouse gases. So the nuclear energy is called “the clean energy”. Use nuclear energy to replace the fossil energy the greenhouse effect will be brought under control and protect the environment from the badly gas. The second of the advantage of nuclear energy is that nuclear fuel has small size so it is easy for transportation and storage. This can save much money and space in the transport and stockpile. Besides there is abundant material of nuclear energy. Uranium is enormous under sea. There is organization which estimated the world uranium reservation can be consumed 150 years at lethe external environment because of the accident will damage the ecology and people. The debate about whether to build and developing nuclear power is again in full swing.
核能是“最清洁、最划算的电力资源”。
在核反应过程中不会产生温室气体。所以核能被称为“清洁能源”。使用核能源来取代化石能源温室效应将得到控制和保护环境的气体。第二个核能的优势是核燃料体积小便于运输和储存。这可以节省很多钱和空间的运输和储存。此外还有丰富的核能源材料。铀在海洋是巨大的。有组织估计世界上铀的预订可以消耗150年忘却的外部环境因为会破坏生态和人的事故。讨论是否建立和发展核能再次全面展开。
Nowadaysmore and more youngsters spend there spare time on internet. They playing net games chatting with there friends and strangers. And a new language to come into being--internet slang. It is quite different from common language. It including many aspects of our life.For example they say goodbye by using 886 which sounds like goodbye in Chinese. And many sayings by common language are being cut in internet. For example 555 stands for cryingbut not really mean it.
Internet slang come into being at fiber time and youngsters prefer it to common language.Because more and more student using internet slang in there life and study. They worry about there kids can not communicate with others very well by using net language.
We should advice that internet is a virtual zone but what we need to know is that virtual is never the same with reality. We live in the society people who lives there speak common language so speak common is reality and try to keep the net language out of real life.
如今越来越多的年轻人在业余时间花在互联网上。他们玩网络游戏聊天的朋友和陌生人。形成一种新的语言——互联网俚语。它是完全不同于常见的语言。它包括我们生活的许多方面。例如他们说再见用886这个名字在中文里听起来像再见。由共同的语言和许多谚语正在削减在互联网。例如555年代表哭但不意味着它。
互联网俚语形成纤维时年轻人更喜欢共同的语言。因为越来越多的学生使用网络俚语在那里生活和学习。他们担心孩子不能使用网络语言与别人交流很好。
我们应该建议互联网是一个虚拟的区域但是我们需要知道的是虚拟与现实从来都不是相同的。我们生活在一个社会里住在那里的人说共同的语言所以讲常见的是现实尽量保持网络语言的真实的生活。

A lot of people ask me which book is my most favorite one and I always proudly answer them > which is all history about China.
This will be a long story for me to read this book. First time I touched this book is when I was 5 years old. My mother bought it to me as my 5-years-old gift. This is a really wonderful present to mewhich is opening a history gate to me a totally innocent boy. I almost forgot the dinner after I read the first page. From then on I was the historist in my class and showed my knowledge from that book to my classmates. When I became older and older I knew more about it and feel more confident about my own China. I am proud that I am a Chinese and I will make more effort to build a more powerful country and let Chinese history more brilliant.
As me this is the most important book in my life and now I still read it and recite some part of it. I think everyone should read it and get this wonderful experience.
很多人问我是我最喜欢的是哪一本书我总是骄傲地回答《五千年历史》中文全称为关于中国历史。
这将是一个长期的故事我读这本书。我第一次碰这本书是当我5岁。我妈妈买给我来说都像我5岁的礼物。这确实是一个很好的礼物这对我来说是开一个历史的门我一个完全无辜的男孩。我几乎忘记了晚饭看完第一页。从那以后我是班级里的一名历史学者并且从书中我的同学展现出我的知识。当我老的时候我知道更多一点,对自己的祖国更有信心。我感到自豪的是我是中国人我必使更多的努力建立一个更强大的国家让中国历史更加灿烂夺目。
是我这是我一生中最重要的书现在我仍然阅读和背诵一些它的一部分。我认为每个人都应该读它让这美好的经历。
