Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
当新学期来临时,许多学生对新生活表现得很兴奋。在大学,新生快乐地享受着自由。在接下来的四年里,他们希望过着高中描绘的'美好生活。但事实是,大学生活中有很多东西要学。
First, the major knowledge occupies the most important role. As a student, learning knowledge is their job, while many students focus on playing cellphone in the class, or just sleep. They lose interest in studying when they come to the free environment. Mastering the professional skill helps them to be competitive. The sad thing is that most of them can't realize it.
首先,专业知识占据着最重要的角色。作为一名学生,学习知识是他们的工作,而很多学生在课堂上玩手机,或者睡觉。当他们来到自由的环境后对学习失去了兴趣。掌握专业技能帮助他们提高竞争力,可悲的是,大多数人没有意识到这一点。
Second, as there is much free time, they can make use of it and gain the valuable experience. Students can join some clubs to develop more interest, or find part-time jobs. It is better than to stay in the dorm and play computer games all the time.
第二,由于空闲时间多,他们可以充分利用好这些时间,并从中获得宝贵的经验。学生可以参加一些活动来发展更多的兴趣爱好,或找份兼职工作。比呆在宿舍玩电脑游戏好多了。
A lot of students feel lost in the campus, because they don't plan campus life well. The things you learn will make you different in the future.
很多学生因为没有计划好校园生活在所以迷失了。所学到的东西会让你在未来有所作为。
Life has its ups and downs, and only true friends always stay around. Like anyone else, I have got many friends. They often help me when I’m in trouble. Especially, when I fail in an examination, they always care for me and encourage me to study harder. Last year, when I was hurt in a basketball game, my friends took me to the nearby hospital at once and look after me by turns. In my eyes, friends are the most precious wealth that one should treasure all his life.
Do you ever watch movies from other countries? Whenever I do, I think about how similar people really are all around the world. Even though the cultures and languages in those movies are different from mine, people all around the world are alike in their goals and emotions.
One time, I saw a movie made in china that showed parents helping their children with their homework. . My parents helped me the same way. Another time I saw a movie from Argentina. It showed school children playing hide and seek, which is a game I used to play with my friends during recess. Seeing these films demonstrated to me that education is a common goal in every country. Parents want their children to learn so their lives will improve. It also showed me that children in schools everywhere wants to play with their friends. Sometimes the games are similar to ours and sometimes they’re different. Still, they all have the common purpose of fun and learning to work together.
Earning a living is another common goal. I’ve often seen that in movies about other countries. In some countries, people choose their careers from what they like and are good at. In other countries, careers are chosen for them following the traditions of their families. But in every country it seems that people care a great deal about earning a living, and working hard is respected.
Showing people having fun together is always an important part of any movies, no matter what country it comes from. People everywhere want to be entertained, and want to spend time with their families and friends. Different cultures sometimes enjoy different activities, but all cultures enjoy some form of sports, music and dancing.
The movies I’ve seen make it clear to me that no matter the cultural differences between countries, people everywhere have the same basic needs and goals.
我是广阔大海里的一条小小鱼,每天都过着无忧无虑的生活。我与我的.兄弟姐妹们相处得很好,也经常一起做游戏。
一个初春的早上,阳光明媚、万里无云,天空中耀眼的太阳照得水面上波光粼粼,水底也暖和极了。我摇摇尾巴,开始了新的一天。就在这时,我闻到了一股香喷喷的蚯蚓的味道。游过去一看,果真如此。小蚯蚓的身体蠕动着,不禁让我垂涎三尺。可是我一下子意识到,这,不就是人类想把我们抓上去卖的鱼饵吗?我还记得大哥当时吃了这东西,突然就不见了,而且再也没回来过!妈妈哭了好久,告诫我们不要再接触人类。她说,人类很危险。
我轻轻叹气,仔细打量一番这美味的毒药,摇摇尾巴转身准备离去。忽然,我听见后面有黄鱼妹妹的声音:哇哦!美味的蚯蚓!真是天上掉馅饼,蚯蚓可比妈妈做的饭菜好吃多了呢!啊呜!我猛地转身,只见她已牢牢咬住蚯蚓,然后就被细细的鱼线钩了上去。我瞠目结舌,久久注视着刚才发生惨剧的那个地方,从心底里感到惋惜与气氛。紧接着,又从水面上放下来一直蚯蚓,比刚才的那条更软、更香。人类真是贪婪的动物!钓了第一只,还想要第二只?!我仇视着这鱼饵、鱼钩、鱼线和那该死的钓鱼人,一股怒气冲昏了头脑,也一口咬住鱼饵。就在尖利的钩子刺破我的嘴唇的那一刹那,我哭了,流下了一颗又一颗无形的泪珠。
鱼线把我拽出了水面,定睛一看,只见一个年逾六旬的老大爷,脸上洋溢着无比的欢乐。我冷笑一声,心想人真是恶心,钓了那么几条鱼就开心得不得了,经不起奉承。老大爷把我从鱼竿上解下来,扔进一个水桶里,我看见黄鱼妹妹也在桶里头痛苦地挣扎。我担心地问:妹妹,你还好吧?
还行,不过看起来,我们已经任人宰割了。
不过这也只能怪我们自己,谁叫我们爱吃的食物在陆地上也有。
过了很久,太阳已高高挂上了天空,桶里的鱼也越来越多。老大爷看着欢蹦乱跳的我们,笑了:鱼儿们,我对不起你们啦!你们都别埋怨我啊,我可是个老头子啊!哈哈!说着,端起水桶,把我们一只一只放回了海中。我摇摇尾巴,一言不发地游回了自己的家。我决定了,把这个故事讲给大家听。因为有时候,人类也是会发发善心的。
