Our Beautiful World
The world in which we live is a very beautiful world .About seventeenths of the earth is water while three-tenths is land. What a beautiful day:
The sun is shining and the sky is so blue .The land ,oceans, mountains and rivers ,plants and animals …everything looks bright and gay .
The sun gives us light ,keeps us warm and makes things grow.
Sometimes , White clouds are like ships sailing across the sky .Sometimes, the dark clouds bring us rain or snow. Sometimes, after the rain , you can see a very beautiful rainbow across the sky.
At night, we can see thousands of stars and sometimes ,the big round moon .The dark sky dotted with bright stars is like a picture!
There is so much to see in our beautiful world.

我们美丽的世界呀，有着这么多事物让我们欣赏！
夜晚，我们能看到成千上万的星星，有时还有又大又圆的月亮。
点缀着闪亮星星的夜空，多像一幅画啊！
有时候雨过天晴，你还可以看到非常美丽的彩虹，横跨天际。

Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind;
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;
it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to st.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

译文：
青春
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 、
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

Interest Is the Best Teacher
I was not able to get high marks when I was in primary school. Teachers didn't like me because I was not a good student. Mother considered me as a bad kid. They hurt me by thinking I am a retarded child. But I am no fool. Almost all of my paintings were showed in public. Many famous artists had praised me for my paintings. They called me "little prodigy". And dad was on my side too. He encouraged me to do what I liked and what I thought was proper. He told me that interest is the best teacher, Dad did what he could to develop my talent fully. I believe that interest together with hard work will make me a successful artist in the near future.
小学的时候我学习不好，总得不了高分。老师认为我不是好学生，妈妈也把我看成是坏孩子。我伤心极了，他们肯定都以为我是一个笨孩子，可我并不笨。我画的画经常拿出去展览，有许多著名的艺术家还夸奖过我呢，他们说我是小神童。爸爸也支持我，他鼓励我做自己喜欢做和认为对的事情，还告诉我兴趣是最好的老师。爸爸尽力创造机会让我发挥自己的天赋。我相信兴趣加努力会让我在不久的未采成为一名有成就的画家。

There's a great song out there by Jimmy Cliff,one of reggae's top artists, that in six words summarizes just how you succeed in life: I want! I do! I get! These six words are a very powerful way of connecting what you want with what you will achieve.
世界顶尖的雷鬼音乐家吉米.克里夫(Jimmy Cliff)曾创作了这样一首了不起的歌曲，其歌名为《我想！我做！我得到！》。这六个字则把一个人怎样在一生中取的成功的经过进行了概括。这六个字是十分强有力的，它将“所想”与“所成”串在了一条线上。
First comes wanting something—a better life for yourself,your family, more money, a better job, whatever it is you dream about and long for. You desire it, you dream about it, you daydream about it, you yearn for it.
首先要做的就是要去想，想想让你和你的家人有更好的生活，赚更多的钱，找到更好的工作...无论这是你的梦想还是渴望，你想要得到这些，你梦想得到这些，你幻想会得到这些，并且你对此也充满了向往。
But that's not enough. Next and this the part too many people forget about—comes the doing. All of the wanting in the world is not going to move you one inch closer to what you want: you have to do.You have to find a better job, change jobs, take risks, write software, try new things, stop doing old things, go to college, work, act, do.The doing is the absolutely indispensable connection between what you want and what you get.
但光想还不够，下一步，往往也是大部分人忽视掉的这一步---付诸于行动。世上最遗憾的事莫过于梦想自己 不会向你的方向多靠近哪怕一英寸，因此你必须主动去接近梦想。于是你不得不去找一份更好的工作、经历跳槽、承担风险、编写软件、尝试新鲜事物、不再走老 路、去上学、去工作、去做事...从梦想到获得的路途中，行动是一座必经的桥梁。
Finally, if you keep doing what needs to be done, if you keep adjusting what you do to move you closer to what you want, you get. Maybe not easily, maybe not as quickly as movies and television portray,but it will come.
如果你始终在做需要做的事；如果你一直在调整你的方向，去做一些能让你更靠近梦想的事；那么最终，你就会圆梦。这或许不那么简单，这又或许没有电影电视中演得那么快，但这终究还是会成为现实。
One final philosophical note about these six words: notice that "I" is three of them? Not what others want, not what others say you are "supposed" or "should" do. What's more, no one is going to do it for you.
最后，让我们从哲学角度来审视一下这六个字:注意了，三个动作的主语都是 “我”。这是因为，梦想并不是他人的梦想；也不会有其他人对你说你“要去”或“该去”做什么。此外，也没有人会代替你去做什么。
You are the key to making these six words work.
因此，让这六个字发挥作用的人，只有你自己。
