Walk on the path of the field, breathing the fresh air, the grass is green and luxuriant., at the foot of the flowers smile. This beautiful scene, let me nervous mood ease up.

Come to my house along the quiet and tastefully laid out and the path. Sitting in a small yard, the first thing you encounter is a few lush poplar tree. They are tall, like a guard to protect our home, thank you, lovely poplar. Through the gap of poplar and is layered terraces, green seedlings are thriving, the farmer uncle of the field are weeding them sweating in the hot sun. To the autumn harvest, they are hard-working, I silently raised an admiration of love.

Yard was clear the left side of the lotus pond, lotus leaves with a blooming lotus flower, lotus leaf strips under small fish in the chase; Hiding in the lotus lotus seed, how to pick a flower! "Little Eva hold boat, white lotus back. Dont understand Tibetan, duckweed open." Bai juyis "pool" emerge in my mind. How I want to do a small bai juyis Eva, to enjoy the lotus pond in boundless fragrance.

我的家乡虽然在偏僻的农村，但那儿环境优雅，漫山遍野的农田，绿油油的，令人心旷神怡!

漫步在田间的小路上，呼吸着新鲜的空气，脚下小草青翠欲滴，花儿眉开眼笑。这美好的情景，让我紧张的心情一下子舒缓起来。

顺着幽雅的小路来到我家。坐在小院里，首先映入眼帘的是院边几棵郁郁葱葱的杨树。它们高大挺拔，像一个个卫士保护着我们的家园，谢谢你们，可爱的杨树。透过杨树的空隙望去，是层层叠叠的梯田，绿油油的秧苗正在茁壮成长，田间的农民伯伯正在除草，他们在炎炎的烈日下挥汗如雨。为了秋季的丰收，他们不辞辛劳，我的心里默默地升起一股敬佩之情。

庭院左侧是清澈的荷塘，荷叶上顶着一朵朵盛开的荷花，荷叶下一条条小鱼在追逐嬉戏;荷花里藏着一朵朵莲子，多么想摘一朵呀!“小娃撑小艇，偷采白莲回。不解藏踪迹，浮萍一道开。”白居易笔下的《池上》浮现在我的脑海里。我多想做一次白居易笔下的小娃，去尽情享受荷塘里无边的清香。

庭院右侧是厨房，厨房后有一片茂密的竹林。蝉不知在哪里，只听见“知了，知了”一片叫声。

抬头仰望瓦蓝的天空，低头看看院落前清澈的小溪，侧耳倾听鸟儿的啼叫，真是“人在画中游”啊，家乡给人的感觉真好!

第一次吃自助餐

今天早上，我最好的朋友小罗打电话叫我和他一起去吃自助餐，在这之前我从未吃过自助餐。

上午11点，我们在桂林市区中心广场附近的汉庭轩自助烤肉餐厅门口见面，买票之后我们激动的进入自助餐馆。说实话，对于一个大吃货来说，看到满目琳琅美食的我简直完全惊呆了!烤肉、汉堡、蛋糕、寿司、饮料、海鲜、不冰淇淋、火锅……总共的，我吃了四块蛋糕、五个寿司、一盘烤肉、一个冰淇淋、一杯柠檬汁、五个饺子、一份炒饭、一杯布丁、一盘水果沙拉、一些爆米花、两个泡芙和一些广式点心。我们吃了两个小时，我简直撑得肚子都要爆炸了!为了缓解肚子，我们然后就去逛街。

我曾说我要生如夏花，要绚丽多彩。

一直很喜欢夏天，因为害怕冬天的寒冷。现在长沙正值仲夏，太阳很毒，热辣辣的。5天前，长沙开始下雨了，一直下到现在。我很讨厌下雨，雨打在身上黏着人感觉很糟，全身都是雨，好冷好冷，站在雨下，只能无助的奔走来逃避它，可是天空无垠，不留余地。每到这个时候痛苦不自觉的漫上心头，那些回忆找上门来，躲不开也逃不掉。

有人说，雨能给人带来不一样的感觉，自由的站在雨下能安静的倾听大地与天空的声音。雨，是天空在哭泣，夏天的雨，是我在哭泣。

这些天一直在打针，上个礼拜吹了一晚的空调感冒了，自信的一位拖几天它就能好，结果却是病情加重得吊针。打针的几天一直下着大雨，老天真是不解人意。

昨天终于针打完了，离开令人烦郁的医院，外面下着大雨，我带了伞但还是一阵狂奔淋着雨回家。跑在路上还在想这样是不是会很好玩，难得这么疯一次，到了楼下才发现一身都湿了，不停的咳嗽。回到家，马上冲了个澡，然后点了根烟。

想起刚才在雨中狂奔时候，脑子乱乱的，不知道在想些什么。

想着告诉自己：不要想那些事情。

雨一直下着，夏天的雨，感觉像冬天来了，都不敢再期待阳光。

[英语作文翻译我的一天 my day

在所有的季节中，我最喜欢夏天。 In all seasons, I like summer the most.

夏天非常热，火辣辣的太阳，像一个大火球，燃烧着我们大地。大地么，像一个大火炉，都冒烟了。花园里，树叶和花儿，耷拉着花瓣，无精打采，像生病了一样。街上的小狗也趴在地上，吐着舌头，喘着气，有气无力。晚上，树上的知了叫个不停，让人不耐烦地睡不好觉。

夏天，也是个美丽的季节。池塘里，荷花才刚露出尖尖角，许多蜻蜓就绕着荷花转来转去。这让我想起一首诗句：小荷才露尖尖角，早有蜻蜓立上头。荷叶也开得正旺，小鱼在荷叶下乘凉，像是小鱼的家。露珠在荷叶上打滚，有的好像在玩游戏，有的好像在赛跑，有的好像在休息。莲蓬也开了，许多小宝宝在里面说悄悄话呢!

夏天的池塘很美，夏天的大街也很美。大街上熙熙攘攘，许多女孩穿着漂亮的裙子，吃着冰棒。远处看去，整条大街五彩缤纷，花花绿绿，像飘着许多花蝴蝶。

夏天不仅是一个美丽的季节，更是一个丰收的季节。果园里，桃子像个害羞的姑娘，红了半边的脸。一串串各种各样颜色的葡萄，有淡红的、紫的、绿的，就像一盏盏彩灯，在阳光的照耀下，闪闪发光。西瓜也来凑热闹了，一条条斑纹深绿浅绿相间着，它还有那像麻花辫似的藤呢!

夏天，也让大家变得很快乐。游泳池里，大人小孩们在心情地游泳、嬉戏、打水仗。广场上，小朋友吃着冰冷淇淋，也是非常开心、快乐的!

夏天是个火热的季节，夏天是个美丽的季节，夏天也是个丰收的季节，夏天还是个快乐的季节!

我奶奶今天来看我们了

今天,我的奶奶来看望我们,因为她很想念我。她和往常一样给我们带来很多新鲜的蔬菜和水果。我的奶奶住在一个小的村子里，她喜欢那里的生活，拒绝搬来城市，所以我们分开住。她种有很多蔬菜和水果，并且会时不时地带来给我们。的确,尝起来味道和市场上卖的截然不同。我很喜欢她给我们带来的菜,我很感谢她。

201X月X日 星期X 晴

夏天到了，天气渐渐地变热了。

夏天好像没有一丝风，叶子和树都快晒得有点枯了，树上还有几只蝉不停地在叫“知了、知了。”好像在告诉我们夏天真热啊!记得有一次，我和同学去玩，那天太阳像一个大大的火球嵌在天空，晒得大地都快发烧了，小鸟也晒得快飞不动了，天气真的好热。我们就只好躲在树下玩。河边的柳树像病了似的，无精打采地低垂着。河里的水冒着热气，该不会水都烧开了吧?每天人们回到家，总是热得汗流夹背，恨不得跳进水里凉快一下。夏天有很多人每天去游泳，晒得跟黑人一样。天气容易下雨，打雷了，下雨了，下了一阵雨，一会儿就停了。到了晚上，人们都出来乘凉啦!天上的星星都亮起来了，星星的中间有一个又大又圆的月亮，好像一个大玉盘高高的挂在天空。夏天的夜晚真美啊!

夏天真是一个炎热的季节，我爱夏天。

幸福是否可以用金钱购买？不可能！但是不是钱多一点我们就会更开心一点呢？对此，大多数人一定微笑赞同。我们相信，收入的富足与舒适的生活感受之间有着某种联系。几乎所有人都会说，是的，我希望变得富有。而目前有四分之三的美国大学生都认为，过上“十分富裕”的生活是“非常重要”和“必不可少”的。钱的作用的确不小。

Does money buy happiness? No! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between fiscal fitness and feeling fantastic. Most of us would say that, yes, we would like to be rich. Three in four American collegians now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters.

但是，富人就一定更快乐吗?研究人员发现，在一些贫穷的国家，相对而言比较富裕确实会使人过得更幸福一些。我们需要食物、住所、休息和社会关系。然而，人们惊讶地发现，在那些几乎所有人都衣食无忧的国家里，财富的增加所产生的效果微乎其微。收入与幸福之间的关联“惊人得微弱”。一旦生活舒适，钱所带来的收益便呈现递减趋势。得到的第二笔十万美元就像吃到的第二只派，尝起来永远都不如第一只那么美味。即使那些彩票得主和福布斯排名前一百的富人们也并没有比一般的美国人更开心多少。飞黄腾达只能带来暂时的喜悦。从长远来说，财富就像健康一样，失去它的人定会感到不幸，而拥有它的人却未必一定幸福。

Well, are rich people happier? Researchers have found that in poor countries, being relatively well off does make for greater well-being. We need food, rest, shelter and social contact. But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing affluence matters surprisingly little. The correlation between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak”. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns. The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthiest Americans have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run, wealth is like health: its utter absence can breed misery, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness.
