少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲

A Young Idler,An Old Beggar
Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.
It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.
Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

Never Give Up
“If I could reach higher, just for one moment to touch the sky…”---this is from my favorite song Reach.
When we are appreciating the passionate melody of Gloria Estefan, we could hardly imagine that she could return to the stage after her paralysis. In the year 1990, this Cuban singer was knocked down in a traffic accident, and the doctor declared that she might never walk again. But Gloria did not give up and kept up constant exercising. Just one year after the disaster, she stood up again and presented this encouraging song at the Atlanta Olympics.
Whenever I think of Gloria, I can’t help recalling my memory seven years ago, when I first entered university. Naturally shy, ordinary looking, average scores in study, just like an ugly duckling, I seemed to be the least outstanding one in my class. And the successive failures in the beginning led me into despair. “Am I destined to take the back seat to others?” Unwilling to submit to the fate, I paid more efforts on my study as well as many other activities, film dubbing, recital, drama… cause I just want to catch every little opportunity to prove myself. Constant effort yields sure success. Thanks to the competition, I received some awards and most of all, I gained the courage and confidence to face any difficulties in my life journey.
Life is just like farming, and what you can reap depends a lot on your sowing and dedication. Once you have a dream, don’t be hesitant. Your next difficult step may be the one to the top. Keep going forward, even in the toughest time, and never give up.
永不放弃
“如果我能到达更高的地方，哪怕只有碰触天空的一刹那…”---选自我所喜爱的歌曲《到达》。
当我们在欣赏葛罗莉亚·伊斯特芬那充满激情的旋律，我们很难想象她能从瘫痪中回到舞台。1990年这个古巴歌手遭遇车祸，医生说她可能再也没办法走路了。可是葛罗莉亚并没有放弃希望，坚持做恢复训练。在灾难后仅仅一年，她又站起来了，并且在亚特兰大奥运会上唱响了这首鼓舞人心的歌曲。
每当我想起葛罗莉亚的时候，我禁不住回忆起七年前我刚进入大学的时候。天性害羞，相貌平平，成绩一般，就像一只丑小鸭，我是班上最不起眼的一个。而且在刚开学时一连串的失败让我陷入绝望。“难道我注定要给别人当配角吗？” 不愿意向这个命运屈服，我更加努力的学习并且参加许多其他的活动，电影配音、朗诵、戏剧…因为我想抓住任何一个微小的机会来证实我自己。不懈的努力终会带来成功。我从竞赛中获得了一些奖励，最重要的是，我从中得到了面对人生一切困难的勇气和决心。
生活就像是耕耘，一份耕耘一份收获。一旦你有了梦想，不要犹豫。你艰难的下一步也许就是通往成功的阶梯。即使在最困难的时候也要勇往直前，决不放弃。
My hobby
My hobby is fishing. I am fond of going fishing, for it is both interesting and iastructive-It tempers my willpower. Last Sunday I went fishing with my friend, He Ping. We started at daybreak. After three hours' cycling, we arrived at the outskirts of Hefei and came to a stream. The water is clear and clean. One can see fish swimming. The meadow sprinkled with buttercups slopes to the stream. It is a good place for fishing.
In a few minutes everything was ready. Putting the bait of earthworms on the hook, dropping the hue into the strum, we sat there fishing with rod in hand. An hour passed. I did not catch a single fish. I lifted the fishing rod time and again. Time and again I was disappointed. There was no fish on the hook. On the other side of the stream, He Ping had caught several fish, one of which was very big.
"How comes it that you catch fish casily while it is so difficult for me?" I asked.
"it's easy. Only you need Io be patient." He Ping answered. "Make sure that you lift the fishing rod when the whole flat has sunk. I'm sure a fish will greet you on the hook."
After a while the floats were swinging. I kept my breath and waked. The floats became still again. "Come on my hook, dear fish." I was saying to myself. In a moment the floats swang again and then sank abruptly, Just at that moment I lifted my fishing rod. To my delight I caught a fish. Grlnning, I took it off the hook.
This gave me a great revelation(启示):Stamina(毅力) is what we need to achieve success. And it is more important to young people who usually lack it.
我的业余爱好
我的业余爱好是钓鱼。它不仅有趣，且有意义——它磨炼我的意志。
上星期天，我和朋友何平去钓鱼。黎明时动身，骑了3小时自行车后，来到达合肥郊区的一条小溪边。溪水又清又净，能看见鱼在水里游。撤满草茛的草地倾斜着伸向小漠。那是个钓鱼的好地方。
几分钟后，一切准备就绪。把钓饵鱼虫放在钩上，并将直线垂入溪中，手握钓竿等在那儿垂钓。1小时过去了，我一条鱼也没钓着，不时地提起钓竿，一次又一次地失望，无鱼上钩。而溪对面何平已钓了好几条鱼，其中还有1条是大鱼呢。
“怎么你钓鱼那么容易，而对我却那么难?”我问道。
“这并不难。只是需要耐心。”何平答道：“一定要等浮子全沉下后再举起钓竿，鱼就在钩上欢迎你了。”
过了一会儿，浮子在晃动。我屏住气在等待，浮子又不动了。“亲爱的鱼儿，快上钩。”我自言自语。一会儿，浮子又动了，接着突然下沉。正在此时，我举起了钓芊。我喜出望外地钓到了一条鱼，笑咪咪地把鱼取下了钩。
这件事给了我极大的启示：成功需要毅力。过对缺乏毅力的年轻人更为重要。
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is New Year Gift Money. During the Spring Festival, many students got a considerable sum of New Year Gift Money. What should we do with this money? Usually there are two alternatives: spend it or save it. Which is better? In my opinion, to save it is more sensible for us students.First of all,as we all know, thrift has long been our tradition virtue. Even in ancient times, our ancestors already knew from their experience that it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance but different to go from extravagance to frugality. Once students get into the habit of spending money extravagantly, he may find it very different to stop doing so, and he may keep buying things like clothes of famous brand, imported stationery, or most updated cell phones.Secondly, saving money prepares us for rainy days. There is an old saying witch goes like this: “Human fortunes are as unpredictable as the weather.” It means that we students can never know what may happen to us next. One day we may be badly in need of money. If that happened, our savings can help us a lot and see us through the hard time.On the other hand, spending may result in students’ unhealthy competition of wealth. Rich students with a lot of New Year Gift Money may spend extravagantly, buying all sorts of luxury goods, while students from poor families don’t even have proper meals. Due to vanity, some poor students may try to find ways to make money quickly. Sometimes they may even take the risk of breaking the law, or committing crimes.Some people may argue that when money is deposited in a bank, it will lose its basic function. Actually, it will not. When our state Treasury lacks money, the money deposited in the bank may help our country overcome financial difficulties.Saving money benefits not only the students themselves, but also our country. So we should start saving money now.That's all. Thank you very much for listening
I love English
When I was seven, I started learning English. I played games and sang English songs with other children. Sometimes, I watched English cartoons. It's funny. Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington, because my cousin is over there. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge University, I will be very happy.
I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. Also I'll introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, and the gardens in Suzhou. I will teaching people of the world about the beautiful language of our country.
I like the English language. To learn English is wonderful. I once wanted to be an English teacher . I also like Chinese literature. When I was really young, I was able to remember lots of poems. I also wanted to be a teacher of Chinese. Now I think that both of my dreams can come true: I will be able to use English to teach foreign friends Chinese and share Chinese culture with them. So that more and more people will be able to get to know the 5000 years' history culture, and the prosperity of our great China.
My future is not a dream. I am confident that it will come true
我爱英语
当我七岁的时候，我开始学习英语。我与其他儿童一起打游戏和唱英语歌曲，。有时候，我会观看英语卡通片。它很有趣。接着我发现语言的美丽，开始了我在英语世界里丰富多彩的的梦。
我希望总有一天我能够在世界各地旅游。我要到美国华盛顿访问，因为我的表哥是在那里。当然，我要到伦敦，因为英国是英语语言的发源地。如果我能在剑桥大学骑上我的自行车，我会很高兴的。
我希望我能够与世界上每一个人说流利的英语。同时，我对他们来介绍一下中国，如长城和苏州园林。我会教世界人民了解我们国家美丽的语言。
我喜欢英语。学英语实在是太好了。曾经我想成为一名英语教师。我也喜欢中国文学。当我年轻的时候，我能记住大量的诗歌。我也想成为一名教师的中文。现在我认为我的梦想可以成真：我将能够使用英语教外国朋友中文和与他们分享中华文化。使越来越多的人们将能够结识五千年的历史文化，繁荣我们伟大的中国。
我的未来不是梦。我深信它会成真。

Our world is rapidly changing. Technology and economic
development are perhaps the two most visible factors causing
this. In Chongqing we drive across the new bridges linking
formerly distant locations. We use electronic gadgets that
allow us to perform tasks quicker and more efficiently than
ever before. Who would have imagined communicating via
a blog just a few years ago? However, the impact of technology
and development on our lives is increasingly being overshadowed
by something that is in some ways harder to pin down but
whose enormous impact is undeniable – climate change.
当今世界日新月异，这一切恐怕要归功于两大因素：科技进步和经济发展。在两江环抱的重庆，一座座大桥飞架南北，那些曾经为滔滔巨浪相隔的飞地，如今近在咫尺。而电子设备又更如虎添翼，使我们达到了前所未有的速度和效率。仅仅数年以前，谁能想象区区博客就可以实现沟通交流？但是，科技进步和经济发展对生活的作用，正因某些虽无法准确结论但其巨大影响却不容置疑的现象而不再那么理直气壮，这便是气候变化。
Climate change is truly a global issue that impacts on all
individuals regardless of nationality, gender or wealth. It is
shaping our world in ways we sometimes struggle to understand.
In terms of our daily lives, it can seem hard to identify what
changes result from climate change and as a result it is
sometimes ignored. However, in terms of our planet’s “life
cycle” it is happening extremely quickly. Arctic ice and
glaciers are melting, desertification is speeding up and
major floods are increasingly impacting on people in low-lying
areas.
气候变化是一个真正的全球性问题，对每个人，不论他来自哪个国家，是男还是女，是贫还是富，都有着巨大的影响。气候变化正以某些我们很难理解的方式改变着世界。人们在日常生活中很难发现气候变化的足迹，因而人们又会忽略变化的痕迹。但是，对于我们星球的“生命”来说，变化却似白驹过隙。北极冰和冰川正在融化，沙漠化越来越快，巨大洪灾正日益影响着低洼地区的人们。
Climate change is already impacting on our planet and
will increasingly affect our behaviour. Around the world
people are beginning to look to make “greener” choices
in their everyday lives. They are attempting to reduce
their “carbon footprint” by travelling in more sustainable
ways [given China’s size, increasing middle class and
rising wealth, is this the right argument?], reducing the
amount of food waste they produce and purchasing more
energy-efficient goods and services. Even our languages
are being shaped by climate change! Who had even
heard of a “carbon footprint” until relatively recently?
气候变化已经在影响着我们的星球，并且将会逐渐影响我们的行为。全球人民都开始追求更加“绿色”的生活。他们尝试以更加可持续的方式出行，以减少“碳足迹”[考虑到中国的巨大规模和越来越多的中产阶层人群和财富，这是不是也一样呢？]；减少食物浪费，购买更加节能的商品和服务。气候变化甚至在形成我们的语言！谁不是在最近才听说到“碳足迹”这几个字呢？
Given the importance of climate change, I am delighted
to be launching this blog. It reflects the importance that
Chongqing attaches to this issue. It also reflects the
importance attached to climate change by the UK
Government and the British Consulate General. Our two
Governments are engaged in wide-ranging activities
in Chongqing and SW China to address the challenges
posed by climate change – too many to list on this
blog! Major activities have included seminars on
changing policies to reduce carbon emissions; examining
“green” building techniques; and visits to the UK
by officials from SW China to examine solar power
technology. Chongqing’s “Car Free Day” at the same
time as over 100 other Chinese cities was an
excellent example of an activity that promoted a
low carbon lifestyle.
气候变化情系万家，我临危受命开博客。这反映了重庆对这一问题的高度重视，也反映了英国政府和英国驻重庆总领事馆对气候变化的高度重视。中英两国政府在重庆和中国西南地区开展了一系列活动，以解决气候变化带来的挑战：包括为了降低碳排放的政策变化研讨会，考察“绿色”建筑技术，以及中国西南地区官员访问英国考察太阳能技术等等——活动太多请恕我无法一一罗列！重庆与中国其他100多个城市共同推行的“无车日”活动就是倡导低碳生活的最好例子。
The UK is keen to continue this work and develop
even closer links with Chongqing. There is much we can
learn from each other. The lessons we both learn in
dealing with our local problems undoubtedly contribute
to body of knowledge on how to tackle this global
challenge. I very much hope this blog will play its part
in raising awareness and generating debate. I hope it
will spark creative ideas and will act as a catalyst for
change. To bring about this change we need to make
personal choices, and in writing this blog today I have
made a new choice. I have decided to ensure that I
will increasingly walk to my appointments in the Jiefang
Bei district in order to reduce my carbon footprint. On
my own my efforts will make only a small difference,
but by acting together we really can make a change.
What can you do differently?
英国非常愿意继续这方面的工作并与重庆建立更加紧密的联系。双方之间都有很多可以相互学习借鉴的地方。在如何处理这个全球挑战上，英国自己的一些经验教训无疑为我们年积累了宝贵的知识。我很希望这个博客能够帮助启发人们对这一问题的关注和讨论。希望它点燃创意的种子，成为变革的催化剂。变革需要从我做起，今天我写这篇博客时，就已经作了一个新的选择。我已经决定，为了减少我的碳足迹，我将尽量步行去解放碑上班。一个人的努力只是沧海一粟，但是大家的贡献将使沧海变桑田。您说呢？

changes result from climate change and as a result it is
sometimes ignored. However, in terms of our planet’s “life
cycle” it is happening extremely quickly. Arctic ice and
glaciers are melting, desertification is speeding up and
major floods are increasingly impacting on people in low-lying
areas.
气候变化是一个真正的全球性问题，对每个人，不论他来自哪个国家，是男还是女，是贫还是富，都有着巨大的影响。气候变化正以某些我们很难理解的方式改变着世界。人们在日常生活中很难发现气候变化的足迹，因而人们又会忽略变化的痕迹。但是，对于我们星球的“生命”来说，变化却似白驹过隙。北极冰和冰川正在融化，沙漠化越来越快，巨大洪灾正日益影响着低洼地区的人们。
Climate change is already impacting on our planet and
will increasingly affect our behaviour. Around the world
people are beginning to look to make “greener” choices
in their everyday lives. They are attempting to reduce
their “carbon footprint” by travelling in more sustainable
ways [given China’s size, increasing middle class and
rising wealth, is this the right argument?], reducing the
amount of food waste they produce and purchasing more
energy-efficient goods and services. Even our languages
are being shaped by climate change! Who had even
heard of a “carbon footprint” until relatively recently?
气候变化已经在影响着我们的星球，并且将会逐渐影响我们的行为。全球人民都开始追求更加“绿色”的生活。他们尝试以更加可持续的方式出行，以减少“碳足迹”[考虑到中国的巨大规模和越来越多的中产阶层人群和财富，这是不是也一样呢？]；减少食物浪费，购买更加节能的商品和服务。气候变化甚至在形成我们的语言！谁不是在最近才听说到“碳足迹”这几个字呢？
Given the importance of climate change, I am delighted
to be launching this blog. It reflects the importance that
Chongqing attaches to this issue. It also reflects the
importance attached to climate change by the UK
Government and the British Consulate General. Our two
Governments are engaged in wide-ranging activities
in Chongqing and SW China to address the challenges
posed by climate change – too many to list on this
blog! Major activities have included seminars on
changing policies to reduce carbon emissions; examining
“green” building techniques; and visits to the UK
by officials from SW China to examine solar power
technology. Chongqing’s “Car Free Day” at the same
time as over 100 other Chinese cities was an
excellent example of an activity that promoted a
low carbon lifestyle.
气候变化情系万家，我临危受命开博客。这反映了重庆对这一问题的高度重视，也反映了英国政府和英国驻重庆总领事馆对气候变化的高度重视。中英两国政府在重庆和中国西南地区开展了一系列活动，以解决气候变化带来的挑战：包括为了降低碳排放的政策变化研讨会，考察“绿色”建筑技术，以及中国西南地区官员访问英国考察太阳能技术等等——活动太多请恕我无法一一罗列！重庆与中国其他100多个城市共同推行的“无车日”活动就是倡导低碳生活的最好例子。
The UK is keen to continue this work and develop
even closer links with Chongqing. There is much we can
learn from each other. The lessons we both learn in
dealing with our local problems undoubtedly contribute
to body of knowledge on how to tackle this global
challenge. I very much hope this blog will play its part
in raising awareness and generating debate. I hope it
will spark creative ideas and will act as a catalyst for
change. To bring about this change we need to make
personal choices, and in writing this blog today I have
made a new choice. I have decided to ensure that I
will increasingly walk to my appointments in the Jiefang
Bei district in order to reduce my carbon footprint. On
my own my efforts will make only a small difference,
but by acting together we really can make a change.
What can you do differently?
英国非常愿意继续这方面的工作并与重庆建立更加紧密的联系。双方之间都有很多可以相互学习借鉴的地方。在如何处理这个全球挑战上，英国自己的一些经验教训无疑为我们年积累了宝贵的知识。我很希望这个博客能够帮助启发人们对这一问题的关注和讨论。希望它点燃创意的种子，成为变革的催化剂。变革需要从我做起，今天我写这篇博客时，就已经作了一个新的选择。我已经决定，为了减少我的碳足迹，我将尽量步行去解放碑上班。一个人的努力只是沧海一粟，但是大家的贡献将使沧海变桑田。您说呢？
