人际关系和情感态度

There is always a brilliant image living in my heart. That is my dear father. Seen through the eyes of many other people, father seems to be a very ordinary person. But he is quite extraordinary in my eyes, I have never lost my wonder at his good-personalities such as diligence, devotion, care, optimism ever since my childhood.

我心中总是有一个光辉的形象。那是我亲爱的父亲。从许多人的眼中，父亲似乎是一个很普通的人。但在我眼中，他非常非凡，我从小就对他的勤奋、敬业、细心、乐观等良好性格感到惊讶。

Being a farmer, father works very hard in the fields all the year round. He works from dawn till dusk every day and even till midnight when it is the harvest season. He seldom enjoys leisure with other farmers even if the farm work is not much. He chooses to live a busy life with reluctance to stop for a while.

作为一名农民，父亲一年四季都在田里辛勤工作。他每天从早到晚工作，直到收获季节的午夜。即使农活不多，他也很少和其他农民一起休闲。他选择了忙碌的生活，不愿意停下来。

Father devotes all himself to our family. As we are poor, he always tries his best to support our family and afford the tuitions for my brother and me. For the whole family, for brother and me, he never stops working laboriously in the fields throughout the year. Now he has got a wrinkled face and white hair because of excessive hard work, looking much older and weaker than any other person of his age. In spite of all this, father never complains to us. It is his full devotion that we're living a better life now. It is his full devotion that both my brother and I are able to study at college.

父亲全心全意地为我们的家庭服务。由于我们很穷，他总是尽力养家糊口，为我和弟弟支付学费。为了全家，为了弟弟和我，他一年四季都在田里辛勤劳作。现在，由于过度劳累，他长了一张皱巴巴的脸和一头白发，看起来比同年龄的任何人都要苍老和虚弱。尽管如此，父亲从不向我们抱怨。我们现在过着更好的生活，这是他的全部奉献。我和我弟弟都能在大学学习，这是他的全部奉献。

Father shows much care to us children and my mother as well. Whenever there is any delicious food on the table, he just leaves it to us while he takes the simple one himself. If my brother and I fall ill, he will not hesitate a moment to get some medicine for us or take us to see the doctor. My mother suffers a bad disease. Father looks after her very carefully. He never lets mother do any heavy work both at home and in the field. Mother appreciates him very much that she often praises him as a model husband before others.

父亲对我们的孩子和我的母亲都很关心。每当桌子上有好吃的食物时，他都会把它留给我们，而他自己拿着简单的。如果我和弟弟生病了，他会毫不犹豫地给我们买些药，或者带我们去看医生。我母亲患有重病。父亲非常细心地照顾她。他从不让母亲在家里和田间做任何繁重的工作。母亲非常欣赏他，她经常在别人面前称赞他是模范丈夫。

Father is a person full of optimism. He never complains about our poor life. He is never frustrated by trouble. He often tells us that everything will be all right if we have enough confidence in life. Due to his optimism, we are all confident to face our life and work.

父亲是一个非常乐观的人。他从不抱怨我们的贫穷生活。他从不因麻烦而沮丧。他经常告诉我们，如果我们对生活有足够的信心，一切都会好起来的。由于他的乐观，我们都有信心面对生活和工作。

We all think that father is not in the least an ordinary man. He plays an extraordinary role in my family. We can't have anything without him. Now I'm pursuing further studies at college far away from father. I miss him very much. And I often see him in my dreams. His great image is deeply carved in my mind.

我们都认为父亲根本不是一个普通人，他在我的家庭中扮演着非凡的角色。没有他我们什么都得不到。现在我在远离父亲的大学继续深造。我非常想念他。我经常在梦中看到他。他的伟大形象深深刻在我的脑海里。

Spring Festival is the most grand traditional festival of the Chinese nation. However, a novel coronavirus infection pneumonia outbreak suddenly affects every one of us. In this "anti epidemic" battle, the whole country has shown great responsibility, and has made concerted efforts to overcome difficulties. From the Party Central Committee to the grass-roots organizations, from the front-line angels in white to the silent supporters behind, everyone is carrying on the load and walking with us through the cold and long winter, allowing us to have a "warm spring".

春节是中华民族最盛大的传统节日。然而，一场新型冠状病毒感染的疫情爆发突然影响到我们每个人。在这场“抗疫”战斗中，举国上下表现出了巨大的责任感，齐心协力共克时艰。从党中央到基层组织，从一线白衣天使到背后默默的支持者，每个人都在负重前行，与我们一起走过寒冷漫长的冬天，让我们拥有一个“温暖的春天”。

You are the sun, through the haze, give me warmth. In this war without gunpowder, greed is more terrible than the epidemic. Some people take the opportunity to bid up prices, hoard and hoard goods, and replace inferior goods with inferior ones. In this way, the behavior of looting while the fire is burning and making a lot of money is like a haze, which is not only popular in moral laws, but also chilling. Fortunately, greed is not enough to fight for positive energy. This society has moved us more and more. Adversity shows true feelings. In the loudspeaker, the Secretary of the branch, the village grid administrator who went door-to-door to investigate the epidemic, and the anonymous who silently supported the medical staff with love materials. You are like a wisp of sunshine, gathering to form a huge light and heat, warming our hearts.

你是太阳，穿过阴霾，给我温暖。在这场没有硝烟的战争中，贪婪比疫情更可怕。一些人趁机哄抬价格，囤积居奇，以次充好。这样一来，趁火打劫、赚大钱的行为就像雾霾一样，不仅背离道德法律，而且令人寒心。幸运的是，贪婪不足以为正能量而战。这个社会让我们越来越感动。患难见真情。大喇叭里，是支部书记，是挨家挨户排查疫情的村网格管理员，是用爱心物资默默支持医护人员的无人士。您们就像一缕阳光，汇聚成巨大的光和热，温暖着我们的心。

You are the sun, shining into winter, let me bloom. At the time of the epidemic, most of the people could not avoid it, but the medical staff chose to stand up and contact with the epidemic. You are overworked every day, fighting against viruses, fighting against death, and racing against time. You are the "fighters" in the "epidemic" field and the brave "reversers". However, I know that you are also flesh and blood, will also be attacked by disease, you also have wives and children, you set foot on the "retrograde" road in the care of your family. This winter, thanks to your efforts, good news comes frequently. You are the sunshine, let's firmly believe that the cold winter is about to pass, and the flowers of spring are about to open.

你是阳光，照进冬天，让我绽放。疫情发生时，大多数人避之不及，但医护人员选择站出来与疫情接触。你每天都在超负荷工作，与病毒作斗争，与死亡作斗争，并与时间赛跑。您们是“疫”领域的“斗士”，是勇敢的“逆行者”。然而，我知道你也是有血有肉的，也会被疾病侵袭，你也有妻子和孩子，你在家人的关爱下踏上了“逆行”之路。今年冬天，由于您们的努力，好消息频频传来。您们是阳光，让我们坚信寒冷的冬天即将过去，春天的花朵即将开放。

You are the sun, dispel the darkness, give me hope. Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus infection pneumonia, the CPC Central Committee has attached great importance to it, and has held many meetings on epidemic prevention and control work, and has made a series of important instructions. At the call of the Party Central Committee, all organizations across the country are united in overcoming difficulties. Medical and medical personnel from all over Hubei Province, enterprises supporting materials day and night, and relevant industries racing to build the Fire God Mountain and other emergency hospitals, and grass-roots organizations to fully implement joint prevention and control measures, and build a strong fortress against "epidemic". Although the number of confirmed cases is still rising, the unprecedented unity of the whole country is like a ray of sunshine in the dark, which gives us great power and illuminates our confidence and courage to overcome the epidemic.

你是太阳，驱散黑暗，给我希望。自新型冠状病毒肺炎爆发以来，党中央高度重视，多次召开疫情防控工作会议，并作出了一系列重要指示。在党中央的号召下，全国各组织团结一致，共克时艰。各地医护人员驰援湖北、日夜支援物资的企业、竞相建设火神山等应急医院的相关行业、基层组织全面落实联防联控措施，筑牢抗“疫”堡垒。尽管确诊人数仍在上升，但举国上下前所未有的团结就像黑暗中的一缕阳光，给了我们巨大的力量，照亮了我们战胜疫情的信心和勇气。

You allow me to spring, I allow you not to change the original heart. In the epidemic of this war, no one is an outsider. Every one of us should keep integrity and kindness, stick to our posts, be brave in dedication, and practice our original aspiration and mission with practical actions. We believe that in the near future, victory will belong to the great Chinese nation!

你许我春暖花开，我许你不改初心。在这场战“疫”里，谁也不是“局外人”。我们每个人都应该保持正直与善良，坚守工作岗位，勇于奉献，用实际行动践行初心和使命。我们相信，大地回春就在不远的明天，胜利终将属于伟大的中华民族！

范文：

In China, the Spring festival is the first day of the lunar year. People usually start preparing for the festival one month before it comes. They prepare delicious food, clean and decorate their homes. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family all get together for a big dinner. They stay up till midnight, and then play fireworks and crackers for good luck. On the first day of the lunar New Year, children put on their new clothes and greet their parents. They are very happy to get lucky money from them.

在中国，春节是农历一年的第一天。人们通常在节日到来前一个月开始为节日做准备。他们准备美味的食物，打扫和装饰他们的家。在中国除夕夜，一家人聚在一起吃大餐。他们熬夜到午夜，然后放烟花爆竹以求好运。在农历新年的第一天，孩子们穿上新衣服，向父母问好。他们很高兴从他们那里得到压岁钱。

A dream is to a man what wings are to a bird. With a dream in the deep heart's core, a man is spontaneously driven to hitch his wagon to a star. A dream is an inexhaustible source of energy that keeps our enthusiasm burning, and kindles our desire to enhance our spiritual cultivation, refine our character, and upgrade our quality of life. A life without a dream is like a bird with broken wings, confined to a cage and oblivious of what lies beyond the range of its vision. On the contrary, a man with a dream is like a warrior armed with ambition, foresight and gallantry, daring to step into an unknown domain to make a journey of adventure. It is dream that adds fullness, variety, and spice to our life and makes it worth living.

梦想之于人犹如翅膀之于鸟。在内心深处有了个梦想，一个人很自然地被驱使怀抱远大的理想。梦想是个用之不尽的能源，使我们的热诚炽燃，更点燃我们的欲望去增进我们精神涵养，使我们的品格高尚，并且提升我们的生活品质。没有梦想的生命就像折翼之鸟，困于笼中，对于视线以外的天地茫然不知。相反地，有梦想的人就像装备了志向、远见和勇气的战士，敢于踏入一个未知的领域，展开一趟冒险之旅。就是梦想为我们的生命添加了圆满、变化和情趣，并使它活得有价值。

I have a dream. It is a dream that is deeply rooted in human nature. I dream that one day people of all origins can live in harmony and peace without being discriminated against or persecuted. The bounty of the earth can be shared by every single human being. Mutual respect will guarantee the existence and continuation of the diversity of customs and cultures. Love, sympathy, and cooperation will alleviate the sufferings and disasters inflicted upon our fellow men. Respect for basic human rights will put an end to social injustices and evils. When my dream comes true, all men will be truly equal, happy, and free.

我有一个梦想，这是个深植于人性之中的梦想。我梦想有一天各种出身的人都能和谐和平地生活，而不受歧视和迫害。大地的布施能被每一个人所分享。互相尊重将保证习俗和文化的多样性的存在和延续。爱心、同情和合作，将减轻施加于我们同类身上的苦难和灾祸。对基本人权的尊重将终结社会不义和弊端。当我的梦想实现时，所有的人将会真正的平等、幸福和自由。

We cannot travel every path. Success must be won along one line. We must make our business the one life purpose to which every other must be subordinate.

我们不可能把每条路都走一遍。成功必须执着于一条道路才能获得成功。我们必须有一个终生追求的目标，其他的则从属于这个目标。

I hate a thing done by halves. If it be right, do it boldly. If it be wrong, leave it undone.

我痛恨做事半途而废。如果这件事是对的，就大胆勇敢地去做；如果这件事不对，就不要去做。

The men of history were not perpetually looking into the mirror to make sure of their own size. Absorbed in their work they did it. They did it so well that the wondering world sees them to be great, and labeled them accordingly.

历史长河中的伟人并不是靠终日瞻观镜中的自己来衡量自身的形象的。他们的形象来自对事业全身心的投入与追求。他们是如此的卓越超凡，于是芸芸众生觉得他们很伟大，并因此称他们为伟人。

To live with a high ideal is a successful life. It is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that makes a man strong. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." it has been said, with equal truth it may be said, "Unceasing effort is the price of success." If we do not work with our might, others will and they will outstrip us in the race, and pluck the prize from our grasp.

怀着崇高的理想生活是一种成功的生活。使人坚强的不是一个人所做的，而是一个人所努力做的。有人说过：“永远的警惕是自由的代价。”，同样的道理也可以说：“不懈的努力是成功的代价”。如果我们不竭尽全力，其他人就会在比赛中超过我们，并从我们手中夺走奖品。

Success grows less and less dependent on luck and chance. Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures.

成功越来越不依赖于运气和巧合。丧失自信是我们失败的主要原因。

The great and indispensable help to success is character. Character is a crystallized habit, the result of training and conviction. Every character is influenced by heredity, environment and education. But these apart, if every man were not to be a great extent the architect of his own character, he would be a fatalist, and irresponsible creature of circumstances.

性格是成功不可或缺的重要因素。性格是一种固化成形的习惯，是训练和信念的结果。每个性格都受到遗传、环境和教育的影响。但除此之外，如果每个人在很大程度上都不是自己性格的建筑师，他将是宿命论者，是环境的不负责任的产物。

Instead of saying that man is a creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance. From the same materials one man builds palaces, another hovel. Bricks and mortar are mortar and bricks, until the architect can make them something else.

与其说人是环境的创造者，不如说人是环境的建筑师更贴切些。同样的材料，有人能用其建造出宫殿，而有人只能建成简陋的小屋。在建筑师将其变成他物之前，砖泥依然是砖泥。

The true way to gain much is never to desire to gain too much.

想得到的多就永远不要奢望太多。

Wise men don't care for what they can't have.

智者不会在意他们得不到的东西。
