Life Is a Struggle高二英语作文
Life is a struggle. I shall never forget the most striking part of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow s poem -- A Psalm of Life: In the world s blood field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!
Ludwig van Beethoven was a typical hero in the strife . He was not only one of the greatest composers, but also one of the most persevering men. As a deaf man, he went on working with his strong will in the last year of his life, though he was not able to hear his own fine and original music. Another example of persistence in struggle is Deng Yaping. She once said that her technique came from continuous training, emphasizing the importance of daily practice to a player.
As a student, I seem to be in a boat sailiug against the current. I must make an effort to forge ahead. A little carelessness will result in being driven back. Indeed, learning is a struggle against idleness and carelessness. Following the examples of Ludwig van Beethoven and Deng Yaping, I shall take great pains to urge myself on, moving steadily forward like a heroic boatman in the rough sea of knowledge.

Life in big cities_大城市的生活英语周记
I prefer to live in the big city. I was a rural child. When I was a little kid, I was curious about kids living in the big cities. Great school, modern equipment, luxurious house, they were one of my dreams in the childhood. But now, I am a college student, and I still want to live in the big city and I don’t want to be a small fish in a big pond. A big city always means more opportunities, more career development and naturally higher salary.
In addition, my future children are inclined to get an education with a higher quality compared with the counterparts who live in the small city. Furthermore, there are more commodities and services, more available public utility, even more foreign guys to communicate with. You know, as an English major student, it is really essential yardstick.
Every upside has a downside. I have to admit that living in a small city has its own advantages, like less completion pressure, more fresh air and a quieter atmosphere. But personally speaking, to live in a metropolis is never an unwise choice for me.
Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.
I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock.
After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o’clock.Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it or call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the window of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace. The town’s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgivings. Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn to the old, turn to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

我叫彼得。我十岁,我是一位中国男孩。 我长得又高又瘦,我的眼睛不大。我喜欢运动,我经常在放学后打乒乓球,踢足球或者是散步。我最喜欢的食物是三明治,沙拉和牛肉,因为它们健康又美味。
在星期一,我上语文,体育和英语课。我喜欢星期一,因为我喜欢体育课。星期一到星期五我总是很忙碌。但在周末我很清闲。周末我不需要去上学。星期六妈妈通常会为家人洗衣服和购物。我有时会帮她打扫房间。爸爸有时会在晚上陪我看电影。星期日上午,我会和家人一起去探望祖父母。周日下午,我会在祖父母家里看书。他们有一个大书房,里面有许多书。我们在祖父母家陪他们一起吃晚餐。我们可以聚到一起,那是最幸福的时光!晚餐过后,我们喝茶或散步,在那个时候,我们会把彼此有趣的事情拿出来分享并互相了解。我们的周末时光总是很愉快。爸爸常说:“爱是世界上最有力量的东西”。我们是一个有爱的大家庭。
初入高中时,我们总是怀揣着激动与好奇;但时间总会改变一切,我们在时间的打磨下逐渐变得顺从......
一
我们敬爱的老师在三尺讲台上讲解着那些使人发晕的题目,同学们的精力已经快要被睡意拉去......
下课铃响了,大家都长舒一口气;“老师的催眠曲终于唱完了!”一同学一边伸着懒腰一边说道。不料被老师的顺风耳听到——又是一顿劈头盖脸的臭骂。
我和小喜感到非常无聊,于是就在偌大的校园中挪步。
春日的阳光洒在校园的每个角落,似要将墙角的一抔尘土也要给予普照;墙头一只猫正懒洋洋的在那儿小憩,好是惬意。我们感到了丝丝的疲倦,于是走到一处草坪,躺下,望着空中飘动的云朵,回忆着初中生活的点点滴滴......时而微露笑齿,时而摇头叹息;对苦短人生抱怨着,对三年寒窗无所作为自负着......
人生就像是天上飘动的云朵,时而聚合,拢住阳光;时而被风吹散,还没来得及流下离开时恋恋依依的泪;时而顿作乌云,一片阴沉,流下那属于一代人的莫名的伤感与泪水。
二
无聊而漫长的自习课,面对着作业上星星点点的X、Y、Z,不觉使人身心疲敝。
看堂老师反光的眼镜,使人不能知晓她目光的驻足处;所以同学们都故作乖样,以换取没有河东狮吼时的清静。
我趴在桌上,打着盹儿,一副睡眼朦胧的样子;但又不敢入睡,尽力使自己的身体挺直,样子好使人难受。同桌见此情形,用胳膊碰碰我,“怎么,很困吗?我来告诉你一个消息吧。”“什么消息?”“小道消息——下周学校要进行军训活动。”“什么......”我发出了大声的感叹。全班同学的目光立刻移向我和同桌,我的脸很快涨红,同桌用自己的衣领进离去遮住脸。但看堂老师犀利的眼光又在我的头上泼了盆冷水。
老师并没有再做任何反应,我的心这才放下。我小声地说:“这是什么坏消息呀,想起来都让人恐怖,炎炎烈日,高强度的训练。”我的心中充满了不美好的音符。
三
到了出发的时间了,同学们依次登上了通往军营的车。阳光并不怎么刺眼,透过窗子折射出七色的丝线,均匀散开在身体上,十分舒服。
训练在当天下午开始进行,教官没有丝毫的同情与怜悯,刚开始就是长达一个多小时的军姿训练。这其实也没什么大不了的,但让人窝火的是,大家都在这儿一丝不苟的站着,而教官却在树荫下喝着小茶,哼着小曲,大家都恨不得让口茶把教官噎死......
下午的训练终于结束,大家都一身臭汗。我和小喜一起来到澡堂,可门口却挂着“非军营内部人员禁止入内”的牌子。同学们就这样一天天的过着,那八月里不知臭的麻木。
也许只有这样,才能让人知道什么是幸福,使人懂得珍惜与满足。也许只有这样,才能让人学会所谓的坚强,使人不轻言放弃。
我们的生活就是这样,Such a life only belongs our.
Life is not fair, get used to it.
生活是不公平的;要去适应它。
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
这世界并不会在意你的自尊。这世界指望你在自我感觉良好之前先要有所成就。
You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
高中刚毕业你不会一年挣4万美元。你不会成为一个公司的副总裁,并拥有一部汽车电话,直到你将此职位和汽车电话都挣到手。
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
如果你认为你的老师严厉,等你有了老板再这样想。老板可是没有任期限制的。
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
烙牛肉饼并不有损你的尊严。你的祖父母对烙牛肉饼可有不同的定义;他们称它为机遇。
If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about our mistakes, learn from them.
如果你陷入困境,那不是你父母的过错,所以不要尖声抱怨我们的错误,要从中吸取教训。
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.
在你出生之前,你的父母并非像他们现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来他们一直在为你付账单,给你洗衣服,听你大谈你是如何的酷。所以,如果你想消灭你父母那一辈中的“寄生虫”来拯救雨林的话,还是先去清除你房间衣柜里的虫子吧。
Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
你的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生,但生活却仍在作出类似区分。在某些学校已经废除不及格分;只要你想找到正确答案,学校就会给你无数的机会。这和现实生活中的任何事情没有一点相似之处。
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
生活不分学期。你并没有暑假可以休息,也没有几位雇主乐于帮你发现自我。自己找时间做吧。
Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
电视并不是真实的生活。在现实生活中人们不得不离开咖啡店去工作。
