画师洋洋得意地请出东家,将两张画呈上,满心指望得到东家的赏识。
不料东家看了图画二话没说,命童仆取来火柴,要将两张画图付之一炬。
画师吃惊不小,百思不得其解,他问东家:“我费尽心血画出这两张图人见夸人,唯你要烧掉它,这是为什么?”
“你的'技艺固然精巧,画中动物的神态也很逼真,但却与客观现实相背离。”东家指着画图连称可惜:“你且看这张‘虎王饮水图’:老虎喝水用舌头舔,并非如你所画的将嘴整个儿浸没在水中汲,那叫牛饮!你再看这张‘二龙戏珠图’:传说中的龙均为五爪,蟒才为四爪。你图称二龙戏珠,却只为龙画出四爪,这到底是龙戏珠呢还是蟒戏珠啊?你说,象这种违背事物本质仅凭个人想象画出不伦不类的图画,即使画得再好,赞扬的人再多,又有什么保存的价值呢?留着恐怕只会贻笑后人吧!”
听完东家的评论,画师这才恍然大悟:不切合实际的东西,虽一时能吸引众多人的眼球,但终究是不值钱的。
Dear Mary,
You said in your letter that many of your classmates wore fashionableclothes, but you couldn't afford them so you felt very depressed. There are dif-ferent views on people's clothes. The followings are my ideas:
Firstly, you shouldn't put too much emphasis on physical appearance.
Remember that the most important task for you today is to concentrate on yourstudies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when youcome out first in your examinations.
Secondly, you should understand that it is a fine virtue to live in fru-gality. Just as a famous saying goes, Frugality is the mother of virtue.
Since your family can't provide you with enough money to buy fashionableclothes, it is all the more necessary for you to try to lighten the financialburden of your family. And you will find the virtue of frugality benefit youa lot in your future life.
I hope you understand what I mean. Hope you will take a positive attitudetowards life and will be happy again when you read my letter.
Yours,
Anne
我呢?可不像这样,我可是有“学习划”的`哦!
“每天我“7:50起床,
7:50——8:00打扫房间。
8:00——9:00写两篇日记。
9:00——9:30学英语。
9:30——10:30玩。下午呢?
是“2:00——3:00打两篇作文。
3:00——3:30看作文。
3:30——4:30玩”。
嘻嘻,还不错吧。我想:“一些人肯定是只说不干,夸夸其谈。”我呢?可不是这样的。“我俩每天坚持着写日记、学英语、打日记。”“功夫不故有心人”。我真觉得自己写的日记上升了,英语也更强了,打日记也更快了!
寒假里,你有学习计划吗?如果没有,快自己制一个吧!
春天, 万物复苏,小河水哗哗地顺流而下; 活泼机灵的小鸟们在枝头喳喳地纵情歌唱; 小草们神不知鬼不觉地从地下探出了脑袋,大地换上了绿色的新衣; 小野花们争先恐后地展示着自己的美丽; 一棵棵大树好像正在返老还童, 抽出嫩黄色的新芽;。年迈的`凤凰木也紧跟着春天的步伐, 吐出米粒大小的嫩叶, 就像刚出生的婴儿那般娇嫩。
夏天,太阳像一个火炉似地炙烤着地面。凤凰木的叶子早已变成了深绿色,枝条也向四周扩展了许多,变成了一把绿色的大伞。当太阳透过茂密的树叶筛下一束束金光时, 美丽的凤凰花绽开了一张张笑脸,好像给凤凰木披上了红色的霞衣。
秋天,凤凰树的叶子慢慢地变成了金黄色,在微风吹拂下纷纷飘落下来, 给地面铺上了一层厚厚的金色地毯。课间十分钟,我和小伙伴们在凤凰树下尽情地玩耍、嬉闹,甭提有多高兴了。
冬天,刺骨的寒风从耳边呼呼地刮过,古老的凤凰木褪去了繁华,仿佛一个弯着腰、知识渊博的老学者,正在讲述着她一百多年来的沧桑岁月, 并勉励我们克服各种困难、勤奋学习,成为对国家有贡献的人才。
这就是我们百年老校的百年古树---凤凰木。
Dear my father and mother,
This letter is my inner feelings. I want to thank both of you for so many years’ care and help.
During my growth, you have made a lot of efforts and love for me. When I make a success, both of you are more excited than me, and support me to do better. Even though I have failed, you always share sorrow with me and encourage me not to give up. Especially, during my preparation for CET-4, the support from you is always everywhere. I have passed the exam successfully.
You love is so unselfish that I am deeply affected, so I will study hard to be a useful person and won’t make you disappointed. Anyway, I would like to express the deep gratitude to you.
With best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
