给年轻朋友的一封信Letter to a Young Friend
My dear friend
亲爱的朋友
I know of no Medicine fit to diminish the violent natural inclination you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper Remedy. It is the most natural State of man, and therefore the state in which you will find solid Happiness.Your Reason against entering into it at present appears to be not well founded. The Circumstantial Advantages you have in view by Postponing it, are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with the Thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the Man and Woman united that makes the complete human Being, Separate she wants his force of Body and Strength of Reason; he her Softness, Sensibility and acute Discernment. Together they are most likely to succeed in the World. A single man has not nearly the value he would have in that State of Union. He is an incomplete Animal.He resembles the odd Half of a Pair of Scissors.
我知道没有药物能够消除你们所提到的那种疯狂的自然倾向;即使我知道,我想我也不该告诉你.婚姻是适当的药物。它是人类最本能的状态, 因此是一种最幸福的生活状态。你拒绝现在进入婚姻殿堂的理由显的不够充分.你认为推迟婚姻可能存在好处,不仅不一定实现，而且,那些利益跟婚姻本身以及婚后的安定相比起来就微不足道了。男人和女人只有联合起来才能组成完整的人.女人缺乏男人的力量和周密的推理,而男人缺乏女人的温柔、感性和敏锐的洞察力。因此当男人和女人联合起来。就能够无往不胜。单身和离婚生活的男男女女不可能具有婚姻生活中的价值，是一种不完善的动物。他简直好比半把剪刀--孤掌难鸣。
If you get a prudent, health wife, your Industry in your Profession, with her good Economy, will be a Fortune sufficient.
如果你拥有一位健康而谨慎的妻子，你的辛勤工作，加上她的勤俭节约，必定会创造充足的财富。
Your Affectionate Friend
您真挚的朋友
坦诚Frankness
You must study to be frank with the world:frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do, on every occasion. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.
在世间必须学会以真诚示人：率真乃是诚实与勇敢之子。无论在何种场合，都应该道出自己的真实想法。如果朋友对你有所求，对于合情合理之请，应该欣然同意;不然，应该明明白白地告诉朋友拒绝的理由。任何模棱两可的话语将会让别人误解，也会使自己蒙受冤屈。
Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one. The man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with all your classmates. You will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not.
千万不要为了结交朋友或者挽留友情而做错一事。对你有这种要求的人也会付出沉重的代价。与同学真心相对，绝不背叛。你将发现这是最有效用的准则。总之，要以真实面目示人。
If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain. There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to do one thing before a man's face and another behind his back. We should say and do nothing to the injury of any one. It is not only a matter of principle, but also the path of peace and hornor.
如果发现某人身有瑕疵，直接告诉他你的意见，而不是诉之他人。人前一套，背后又是一套，没有什么比这更加危机四伏。任何有损他人的言语或者事情我们都应该避免。这不仅是一种做人的原则，而且也是通向平和的人际关系、获得他人尊敬之道。
墓园沉思Thoughts in a grave yard
When I look upon the tombs of the great, every emotion of envy dies in me; when I read the epitaphs of the beautiful, even inordinate desire goes out; when I meet with the grief of parents upon a tombstone, my heart melts with compassion; when I see the tomb of the parents of themselves, I consider the vanity of grieving for those who deposed them, when I consider rival wits placed side by side, or the holy men that divided the world with their contests and disputes, I reflect with sorrow and astonishment on the little competitions, factions, and debates of mankind. When I read the several dates of the tombs, of some that died yesterday, and some six hunderd years ago, I consider that great when we shall all of us be contemporaries, and make our appearance together.
当我瞻仰伟人的坟墓，心中所有的嫉妒顿时烟消云散;当我读到伟人的悼文，所有的非分之想顷刻消失殆尽;当我遇见在墓碑旁悲痛欲绝的父母亲，我的心中也满怀同情;当我看到那些父母亲自己的坟墓，我不禁感慨：既然我们很快都要追随逝者的脚步，悲伤又有何用。当我看到国王与那些将他们废黜的人躺在一起，当我想到那些争斗一生的智者，或是那些通过竞争和争执将世界分裂的圣人们被后人并排葬在一起，我对人类的那些微不足道的竞争、内讧和争论感到震惊和悲伤。当我看到一些坟墓上的日期，有的死于昨日，而有的死于六百年前，我不禁想到，有那么一天我们都会在同一个时代同时出现在世人眼前。

中国的骄傲The pride of China
We will never forget the day when China launched its first manned spacecraft into orbit on October 15, 2003 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Northwest China's Gansu Province.
Spraying a mass of orange flames, the large, white Long March II-F rocket carrying the Shenzhou-V spacecraft and China's first astronaut Yang Liwei soared spectacularly skyward, gradually becoming a bright ball before vanishing into deep space.
Our dream becomes reality. Though the Shenzhou-V circled the Earth 14 times within 22 hours and 18 minutes, it has clearly displayed China's spirts of devotion, co-operation and pursuit of the unknown. Meantime, it will turn out to be an important driving force for the country's economic and social development. The successful launch of Shenzhou-V ushered in a new chapter in space history.
我们永远也不会忘记2003年10月15日。中国在其西北部的甘肃省酒泉卫星发射中心首次发射了载人宇宙飞船，进入了轨道。
喷射出一团橘黄色的火焰后，白色的长征n-F火箭运载神州5号宇宙飞船和中国第一个宇宙飞行员杨利伟腾空而起，蔚为壮观，慢慢地变成一个亮球消失在茫茫的太空中。
尽管神州5号在22小时18分钟内仅仅绕地球转14圈，但它清楚的体现了中国的奉献、合作和探索未知的精神。同时这一事件将证明对中国的经济和社会发展起到重要的推动作用。神州5号宇宙飞船的发射成功揭开了太空历史的新篇章。
我的秘密my secret
Oct. 10 Saturday Fine
This evening there was a broadcast of an exciting football match on TV. It was between Chinese team and the team of the United Arab Emirates. I am a loyal football fan and I had expected the match for a long time, so after class I hurried home. But on the way, I found a little boy crying. He lost his way. Considering his parents must be very worried, I immediately decided to send him home. Seeing their son back, the boy's parents showed their gratitude. They also invited me to stay for supper. But thinking of the football match, I refused them politely.
When I got home, it was very late. Therefore, I missed the match,However, I felt very happy because I helped other people.
Although my mother asked why ! came back so late, I said nothing.Perhaps this will become my own secret.
10月10日 星期六 晴
今天晚上电视播放了一场令人兴奋的足球比赛。这场比赛是在中国队和阿联酋队之间展开的。我是一个忠实的足球迷，而且我盼望这场比赛很长时间了，所以放学后我就匆忙往家赶。但是在路上我发现一个小男孩在哭。他迷路了。考虑到他的父母一定很担心，我立刻决定送他回家。看到他们的儿子回来，小孩妁父母感激之情溢于言表。他们留我吃晚饭，但想着足球比赛我婉言拒绝了。
我到家时已经很晚了，因此我错过了比赛。然而我很高兴因为我帮助了他人。
尽管妈妈问我为什么这么晚回来，我什么也没说。或许这将成为我自己的小秘密。
我的生日礼物My Britihday Gifts
It was my birthday yesterday. I got a lot of gifts. All of them were covered with coloured paper. Among them there were two interesting ones.
My elder sister gave me a round paper bag and I thought it was a football. BUt when I opened it, it turned out to be a clock. My brother gave me a message, saying that "My present has been put in your bedroom. "As soon as I went into my bedroom, I found a box. I opened it and found a laptop. I was very happy.
These two presents aim to let me study hard and not to waste time.
昨天是我的生日，我收到了很多礼物。它们用彩纸包着，其中有两件有趣的东西。
我姐姐送了我一个圆纸包，开始我认为是个足球，但打开后才发现是一个闹钟。我哥给我留了张条，告诉我：“我的礼物已经放在你的卧室里了。”我走进卧室，发现一个盒子。我打开了它，里面是一台笔记本电脑。我非常高兴。
这两件礼物是为了让我好好学习，抓紧时间。
