When the wolves lure me outside
with hymns to meat and moon -
When the great gray owl in the pine
asks who with his curious song -
my spirit dances.
I know not who wrote the grand
symphony but when the loon adorns
the sun that sets so gently into clear
waters with an answer to my flute -
larger questions ignite me.
The capelin voices of a thousand
tree frogs play the chorus of spring
to the echo of the first nation\'s
ghost drums as if the twittering
woodcock need the beat
to describe endless circles.
Cicadas drone the heady elixir of
summer to imagined rhythms of corn
that grows inches overnight the murmur
of the creek knows the sound of
clearer waters bound by gravity
to flow south with the geese those
Troubadours of autumn.
These are the songs that know me...
I live in a city that is near the beach, so the life here is very leisure. In order to make use of the city feature, my school has the tradition to hold the sports meeting in the beach every year, which catches the local people’s attention. There are many funny programs, such as tug of war and other special games. The most excellent and exciting match is the volleyball match. A lot of students will cheer for their groups. This special sports meeting is popular among students. They have the great passion to take part in the activities. The sports meeting also helps students become a strong group and enhances their sense of honor. I love the beach and the lively atmosphere. No matter where I go, I will keep this happy memory.
我住在一个临近海滩的城市,这里的生活很休闲。为了充分利用好这个城市的特色,我学校每年都有在海滩上举行运动会的传统,这吸引了当地人的注意力。有很多有趣的节目,比如拔河比赛以及一些特别的游戏。最精彩和激动人心的比赛是排球比赛,很多学生会为他们的团队加油。这种特别的运动会在学生中很受欢迎。他们很有热情去参与活动。运动会也帮助学生成为一个强有力的团队,增强他们的荣誉感。我喜欢海滩和活泼的氛围。无论我去哪里,都会保持这份快乐的记忆。
What is art? When people think about this question, they will naturally think about all kinds of musical instruments or the great paintings in the art museums. Art seems to so far away from the ordinary people, but I don’t think so. Art is everywhere. For example, the delicious food that is made by our parents is the great art, and the value of the food is to bring people the great joy when they have a taste of it. The scenery around us is the visible art, when we appreciate it, our mood become eased. Art is something that brings people the positive value for me, so art is around everybody. If we take time to slow down our pace, then we can enjoy art from life and feel the comfortable lifestyle.
什么是艺术?人们思考这个问题的时候,很自然会想到各种各样的乐器或者是在艺术博物馆里伟大的绘画。艺术似乎离普通人很远,但我不这么认为,我觉得艺术无处不在。例如,我们父母制作的美味食物也是伟大的艺术,食物的价值在于品尝时人们感到的愉悦。我们周围的风景是可见的艺术,当我们欣赏它的时候,心情就会变得放松。对我来说艺术是让人们产生积极的意义,所以艺术是在我们身边。如果我们花时间,放慢速度,就可以从生活上享受艺术,感受到舒适的生活方式。
Since I have done the summer vacation internship, I learned that money is not easy to earn. I felt so shameful to waste food. Reasonable consumption is advocated by the young generation. For the old generation, they advocate to save money. Take my parents for example, they save every cent they can. When they talk about traveling, they will hesitate and finally give up because of money. But for me, I think reasonable consumption not only including the basic needs, but also the amusement. Life is short. We should enjoy every moment and see different people and beautiful scenery. Most people have the plan to save money, but if they take out small part, life can be much easier and happier. The value of money lies in the happiness it brings, or it is just a sheet of paper.
自从我去了暑假实习,我就知道赚钱不容易。对于浪费食物我感到很可耻。合理消费受到年轻一代的倡导。对于老一代来说,他们提倡省钱。以我的父母为例,他们节约每一分钱。当他们谈论旅游时,他们会犹豫,最后会因为钱而。但对我来说,我认为合理的消费不仅包括基本的需求,也包括娱乐。人生短暂,我们应该享受每一刻,看看不同的人和美丽的风景。大多数人都有省钱的计划,但是如果从中拿出一小部分,生活就可以更轻松和快乐。钱的价值在于它带来的快乐,不然只是一张纸。
What's the definition of a successful person? Most people will think about the money. The more money the person owns, the more successful he means. But the real success is not about money at all, it is about the value he creates. To reach our goal, the first thing we should do is to find our place. Never follow the crowd, because you will be easy to lose yourself and don't know what you want to do at last. Between a millionaire and a farmer, everybody will think the former is successful while the latter is not. But both create the equal value if they enjoy what they do. Or if the millionaire feel annoyed and the farmer is satisfied with his life, then the farmer is more successful. When you find your place, then just keep moving on, never give up, no matter what kind of difficulty you meet. Success is on the way.
如何定义成功人士,大多数人会想到钱。人拥有的钱越多,他就越成功。但真正的成功不是金钱,而是他创造的价值。为了达到我们的目标,我们应该做的第一件事就是找到属于我们的位置。不要随波逐流,因为你会很容易迷失自己,不知道自己想做的是什么。在百万富翁和农民之间,每个人都会认为前者是成功而后者是不成功的。但是如果他们喜欢自己所做的事情,他们创造的价值是平等的。如果一个百万富翁感到烦恼,而农夫对他的生活感到满意,这样的农民更成功。当你找到自己的位置,不管遇到什么样的困难都要不断前进,永不放弃。成功就在路上。
Everybody has an idol in their heart, and some change their idol with the age changing. The public pays more attention to the amusement circle, but for me, I am more favored of the athletes, because I am so admire of their strong will and spirit. For example, the famous tennis player Nadal, who is from Spain. He is my favorite athlete. I remembered the first time I saw him playing tennis match on TV. He was about to lose the game, but he kept his attention and never gave up one point. At last, he won the match. What a great athlete! The spirit he owning inspires me to move on. An excellent idol should have something deserves the public to admire, so the things they present to the public is surely the positive sides. The power of idol is great.
每个人心中都会有一个偶像,有些人会随着年龄的增长而更换偶像。大家都比较关注娱乐明星,但对我来说,我更喜欢运动员,因为我很钦佩他们的坚强意志和精神。例如,著名的网球选手纳达尔,他来自西班牙,是我最喜欢的运动员。我记得我第一次在电视上看见他打网球比赛,在他快要输掉的那场比赛中,他一直保持专注,从不放弃,最后,他赢得了这场比赛。这是多么伟大的运动员啊,他的精神激励着我不断前进。一个优秀的偶像应该拥有值得大家欣赏的东西,所以他们向公众呈现的东西应该是积极的。偶像的力量是伟大的。
When people ask me what kind of job I want to work on in the future, my answer is to be a teacher, which is my ideal job. I like to pass knowledge to next generation and lead them to find their own place in the world. What’s more, I can live near my families, so I can go home often and enjoy the dinner with them. I don't want to work far away from my parents, because money can't make up the time we stay together. When I become a teacher, I will have the long vacation, then I plan to travel around the world. The place I visit will bring me a lot of knowledge and open my vision. I will show what I learn to my students and let them know more about the world. I must fight for my ideal career.
当有人问我将来想从事什么样的工作时,我的答案就是成为一名老师,这是我的理想的工作。我喜欢把知识传递给下一代,引导他们在世界上找到自己的位置。而且,我还可以住得离家人近一点,这样我就可以常回家看看,和他们一起享受晚餐。我不想在远离我父母的地方工作,即便赚再多的钱也不能弥补我们呆在一起的时间。当我成为一名老师,我就会有大长假,我打算去周游世界。我所去的地方会带给我很多的知识、开拓我的视野。我会把自己看到的展示给学生,让他们更了解这个世界。我必须为我的理想职业而奋斗。
Since I go to high school, I am so excited about English class, because we have a foreign teacher, whose name is Paul. Paul likes to share funny things about how foreigners think about China. The way he talks makes us laugh out loudly. I learn that a lot of foreigners misunderstand our culture. Before they come to China, all they learn about this big country is from media. The media always report the negative sides, such as woman has low status, and Chinese people eat all kinds of animals. When they come to China, what they see is very different. This country is not that poor and people here are very friendly. Foreign people misunderstand our culture, and this situation happens all the time. Of course, we also will misread their culture. It is important to have real communication, so as to get further understanding.
自从我上高中后,我就对英语课很感兴趣,因为我们有一个外国老师,他的名字叫保罗。保罗喜欢分享外国人如何看待中国的有趣事情。他说话的方式总是让我们大声笑出来。我知道很多外国人误解我们的文化。在他们来中国之前,他们对这个大国的了解仅来自媒体。媒体总是报道负面的消息,如女性地位低,吃各种各样的动物。当他们来到中国后,他们所看到的却是很不一样的。这个国家没有他们想象中的那么贫穷,人们也很友好。外国人们误解我们的文化,这种情况是时常发生的,当然,我们也会误解他们的文化。真正的沟通是很重要的,这样才能都得到进一步的理解。
