爱和时间Love &Time
爱是人类永恒的话题,时间也是人们生生不息探求的领域,那么把爱和时间放在一起会有怎么样的化学反应呢?
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

从前有一个岛,所有的情感都住在那里:幸福、悲伤、知识和所有其它的,爱也不例外。一天,所有的情感听说小岛即将沉没,因此建造小船,纷纷离开,除了爱。
爱是唯一留下来的,因为它希望能坚持到最后一刻。
小岛即将沉没了,爱决定请求帮助。
富有驾着一艘大船从爱身边经过,爱说,“富有,你能带上我么?”
富有回答说:“不行,我的船上载满金银财宝,没有你的地方。”
虚荣坐在漂亮的小船中从爱身边驶过,爱问:“虚荣,你能帮助我么?”
虚荣说:“不行,你全身湿透,会弄脏我的船。”
悲伤的船靠近了,爱问:“悲伤,请带我走吧。”
“哦……爱,我太难过了,想一个人呆着。”
幸福经过爱的身边,它太开心了,根本没听见爱在呼唤。
突然,一个声音喊道:“来,爱,我带你走。” 声音来自“年老”。爱太高兴了,甚至忘了问他们即将去何方。当他们来到岸上,年老自己离开了。爱突然意识到“年老”给了它多大的帮助。
于是,爱问另一位老者——知识:“谁帮助了我?”
知识说:“是时间。”
“时间?”爱问:“但是时间为什么帮助我?”
知识睿智地微笑道:“因为只有时间了解爱的价值。”
青春常在 Feeling of Youth
No young man believes he shall ever die. It was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one. There is a feeling of Eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods. One half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countless treasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. We make the coming age our own-
The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
Death. old age. are words without a meaning. that pass by us like the idea air which we regard not. Others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. As in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-
Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
And see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. We look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseless progress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. It is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. Our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. As infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects press around us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
年轻人不相信自己会死。这是我哥哥的话,可算得一句妙语。青春有一种永生之感——它能弥补一切。人在青年时代好像一尊永生的神明。诚然,生命的一半已以消逝,但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还有所保留,我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想。未来的时代完全属于我们——
无限辽阔的远景在我们面前展现
死亡,老年,不过是空话,毫无意义;我们听了,只耳边风,全不放在心上。这些事,别人也许经历过,或者可能要承受,但是我们自己,“在灵符护佑下度日”,对于诸如此类脆弱的念头,统统付之轻蔑的一笑。像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程,极目远眺——
向远方的美景欢呼!
此时,但觉好风光应接不暇,而且,前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端,我们听任自己的志趣驰骋,放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此为止,我们还没有碰上过什么障碍,也没有感觉到什么疲惫,因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去,直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地——生机盎然,变动不居,日新月异;我们觉得自己活力充盈,精神饱满,可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且,眼前也无任何迹象可以证明,在大自然的发展过程中,我们自己也会落伍,衰老,进入坟墓。由于年轻人天真单纯,可以说是茫然无知,因而将自己跟大自然划上等号;并且,由于经验少而感情盛,误以为自己也能和大自然一样永世长存。我们一厢情愿,痴心妄想,竟把自己在世上的暂时栖身,当作千古不变、万事长存的结合,好像没有冷淡、争执、离别的密月。像婴儿带着微笑入睡,我们躺在用自己编织成的摇篮里,让大千世界的万籁之声催哄我们安然入梦;我们急切切,兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯,怎么也不会饮干,反而好像永远是满满欲溢;森罗万象纷至沓来,各种欲望随之而生,使我们腾不出工夫想死亡。

Friendshipe is very necessary for anyone of us. when we in need, we need a friend to help us out of difficulty . when we have made great achievements in our work, we need a friend to share our joy.

First, we must realize pride is our largest enemy, so don't let it get in out way. we should know that most of us can understand and forgive each other when all the differences are made open. At the same time, make a apology when we are wrong-even if we have been wronged. As we all know, over the course of a friendshipe, even the best people make mistakess. And it may be best if the wronged person first apologizes. When we apologize, we should give a firend a chance to admit his mistake. On the other hand, we should try to see things from our friend's pooint of view. And last, accept that friendshipes change as our needs and lifestyles change, we should always keep the connectionsstrong during the natural ups and downs. We can considre friendshipas an honor and a gift, which is worth our effort to treasure and chevelop.
We problems appear between you friends. Try to mend the troubled friendship.
友情对我们每个人来说都是非常必要的,当我们在穷困中时,我们急需有一个朋友来帮助我们摆脱困境,当我么在我们的工作商取得很大成就时,我们想要有一个朋友来分享我们的快乐。当我们感到悲伤时,我们需要有一个朋友来倾听我们诉说的忧愁。所以拥有好朋友是一个美好的事情,然而,好朋友之间也会出现问题,这些问题将会给友情制造困境。如何修补陷入困境的友情呢?首先我们必须一是到骄傲自满是我们最大的敌人,所以我们要将它从我们的道路上铲除掉。我们应该清楚当分歧出现的时候我们中的大多数能够理解并且宽容彼此。与此同时,当我们做错了即使我们有时觉得委屈我们要道歉。众所周知,在朋友交往的过程中,即使是最厉害的人也会犯错。但如果被误会的人率先辩解将是最好的。当我们辩解时,我们应该给予我们的朋友一个承认错误的机会,另一方面,我们也应该尽量站在我们朋友的立场上看待事情。最后,请接受友情会随着我们的需要和生活方式的改变而改变的现实,我们应该一直保持不错的联系不论世事是好是坏。我们可以把友情当成值得我们珍惜和发展的一种荣誉和一份礼物,当我们和朋友之间出现问题时,请努力地去修补着受困的友情。

As a small master, I really want to become a glorious Olympic volunteer, but I still too little to really become a volunteer. But I can still make contributions to the Beijing Olympic Games.
First of all, as a citizen of Beijing, I will use my enthusiasm and smile to greet every foreign friends from all over the world, and to show off our Beijingers’ friendly and hospitable spirit so that every foreign friends will know the city by the faces.
Next, I want to learn English harder so that during the Olympics I could speak to foreign friends and community in English, And do my best to help them, For example, be a little translator and to help foreigners when they ask way. Let them know China by the behaviors of us.
Again, I would like to learn more about Beijing's Olympic and for the future to our foreign friends knowing more about our beautiful Beijing, as well as the long history and splendid culture, I would like to mobilize each and every one of my classmates, we will study together and civilize etiquette together to strengthen and promote environmental awareness for the Beijing Olympic Games into a true "Green Olympics, People's Olympics, Hi-tech Olympics" from ourselves and from now on.
"One world, one dream," I hope my dream will become a reality.
我和北京奥运
我盼望着2008年8月8日快点到来。这是北京奥运会开幕的日子,是世界体育大家庭聚会北京的日子,更是每一个中国人倍感骄傲的日子。
作为一个小主人,我真想成为一名光荣的奥运志愿者,可是到了那时,我还太小,不能成为一个真正的志愿者,但是,我依然可以为北京奥运会做出自己的贡献。
首先,作为一个北京市的小市民,我要用我的热情、我的笑容迎接每一个来自世界各地的外国朋友,展示出我们北京人友好好客的精神风貌,让外国朋友们通过每一张北京人的笑脸感受北京。
其次,我要更加努力的学习英语,在奥运会举办期间,能够用英语和外国朋友们说话、交流,为他们提供我力所能及的帮助,比如:做个小翻译、帮外国人指路等等,让外国朋友通过每一个北京人热情的帮助喜欢北京。
再次,我也要学习更多的有关北京、奥运的知识,将来可以为外国朋友介绍咱们美丽的北京,以及北京悠久的历史和灿烂的文化,要让他们通过和每一个北京人的交流更加了解北京,了解中国。
最后,我还要动员我身边的每一个同学,大家一起学习文明礼仪,一起加强和宣传环保意识,为北京奥运会办成一个真正的“绿色奥运、人文奥运、科技奥运”从我做起、从现在做起。
“同一个世界,同一个梦想”,我希望我的梦想能够变为现实。
