once upon a time, the circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

The lesson of the story was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some says a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope, to nourish his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.

There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.

在五年级第二学期那个姹紫嫣红，百花齐放，百鸟争鸣的春天。有一天上午，我们在上英语课，金老师正兴致勃勃的讲着英语新课，同学们也都聚精会神地听讲着。

突然，宁静的教室里传来“嘭!嘭!”两声震耳欲聋的响声，这突如其来的可怕声响，一时把大家吓得是个个惊慌失措，目瞪口呆。什么东西爆炸了?难道恐怖分子闯进了学校不成。

“啊!怎么一只小鸟掉到我的书桌上。”一位女生尖声喊叫着。大家哗啦一下围了过去。紧接着一位男生又大呼小叫：“我的课桌上也有一只撞死的小鸟。”大家又回头查看这一只不幸的小鸟。

大家轮流查看了这两只已经死去的小鸟，它们身上的毛色是黑白相间，长长的尾巴是金绿色的，非常漂亮美观。“真是死得太可惜了!太可惜了!”教室里此起披伏的感叹声不绝于耳。

“它们为什么会飞进教室里来寻短见，用这种轰轰烈烈的方式自杀身亡呢?”金老师郑重其事的提问道。

“它们听到金老师的英语讲的好，是来偷听着学习英语的，可能是准备去考托福，换绿卡的。只是被金老师发现后羞愧难当才自杀身亡的哦。”一位同学以调侃的口吻回答道。

第二位同学举手发言：“以童话故事的方式描绘，前面的同学讲的真是萌萌哒!棒棒哒!不过我以心理学的观点认为，小鸟犯了经验主义的错误，白白葬送了它们自己宝贵的两条生命。”

金老师笑眯眯的继续提问道：“小鸟犯了经验主义的错误，白白葬送了两条小生命，此话怎讲?那位同学还有高见?”

我举手发言被金老师准许：“人犯经验主义的错误很常见，没想到小鸟也犯经验主义的错误，这倒很稀奇哦!小鸟经验主义的错误来自我们平时总是打开窗户说亮话，小鸟在这些窗户里进进出出习以为常。没想到今天上午值日生只打开了自己身边的窗户，忘记打开教室对面的其它窗户，害得两只小鸟丢了性命。从这个事件中看出经验主义是何等的可怕。”

讨论热火朝天的进行了半节课，我们大家也从中受益匪浅，从中懂得了好多道理，也从两只小鸟血的教训中吸取了有益的教训。

下课了，同学们非常认真的为两只小鸟举行了隆重的葬礼，在教学楼前那花草繁茂的小树林里，挖了一个深坑，把它们合葬在一起了，因为它们是比翼双飞的一对鸳鸯鸟。

Bob Richards, the former pole-vault champion, shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.

Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.

This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always On the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn‘t want to.

But the young man loved football and decided to hang in there He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he‘d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on." Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.

The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.

The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.

It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "Take the rest of the week off, son. And don‘t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday."

Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter,when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. "Coach, please let me play. I‘ve just got to play today," said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. "All right," he said."You can go in." Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you never heard.

Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone The coach came to him and said, " Kid, I can‘t believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?"

He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?" The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!"

Like the athlete‘s father, God is always there cheering for us. He‘s always reminding us to go on. He‘s even offering us His hand for He knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want. GOD has never missed a single game. What a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the Highest. Live for HIM for He‘s watching us in the game of life!

Last week, my friends asked me to spend the weekend in the house that near the lake. It is one of my friends’ house, where their families often spend the holiday together. Though the house was not big, the environment around was really beautiful. In the daytime, we walked around the lake and appreciated the beauty of nature. At night, we made some food and barbecued. It was such a happy time that we sung and danced. We talked about our future thoughts. Before we went to bed, we watched movies together and discussed the plot. This is the most wonderful moment for us. We share our happiness and have no annoyance.

上周，我一个朋友们邀请我去湖边的房子共度周末。这是我一个朋友的房子，他们家人经常在那里一起度假。虽然房子并不大，但是周围的环境很美。白天，我们在湖边附近走走，欣赏大自然的美。晚上，我们做了一些食物和烧烤。那真是快乐的时光，我们唱歌跳舞。我们谈论对未来的想法。在睡觉前，一起看电影，讨论情节。这是最美好的时光，我们分享我们的快乐，而且也没有烦恼。

一天，哲学家率领诸弟子走在街市上，整个街市车水马龙，叫卖声不绝于耳，一派繁荣兴旺的景象。

走出一程后，哲学家问弟子：“刚才看到的商贩中，哪个面带喜悦之色呢？”一个弟子回答道：“我经过那个鱼肆，买鱼的人很多，主人应接不暇，脸上一直漾着笑容。”弟子的话还没说完，哲学家便摇了摇头，说：“为利欲的心虽喜，却不能持久。”

哲学家率众弟子继续往前走，前面是一片农舍，鸡鸣桑树，犬叫深巷，三三两两的人穿梭忙碌着。哲学家打发众弟子四散而去。过了一段时间之后，哲学家又问弟子：“刚才见到的村民中，哪个看起来更充实呢？”

一个弟子上前一步，答道：“村东有个黑脸的村民，家里养着鸡鸭牛马，坡上有几十亩地，他忙完家里的事情，又到坡上侍弄田地，一刻也不闲着，始终汗流浃背，这个村民应该是充实的。”哲学家略微沉吟一阵子，说：“源于琐碎的充实，最后终归要迷失在琐碎当中，也不是最充实的。”

一行人继续往前走，前面是一座山坡，坡上是云彩般的羊群。一块巨石上，坐着一位形容枯槁的老者，怀里抱着一根鞭子，正在往远方眺望。

哲学家随即止住众弟子的脚步，说：“这位老者游目骋怀，是生活的主人。”众弟子面面相觑，心想，一个放羊的老头，可能孤独无依，衣食无着，怎么会是生活的主人呢？

哲学家看了看迷惑不解的弟子，朗声道：“难道你们看不到他的心灵在快乐地散步吗？”

[哲理文章做生活的主人作文

An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

[简单的英语作文哲理

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don‘t get it! You can‘t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.‘ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."

"Yeah, right, it‘s not that easy," I protested.

"Yes it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It‘s your choice how you live life."

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I‘d be twins. Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.

"Weren‘t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He‘s a dead man. " I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,‘ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!‘ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

He looked at us and said, "I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my Mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish."

No matter how much my Mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish."

Frank‘s voice dropped a bit. "When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school,I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"

He paused and then went on, "I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.‘

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

人的一生就是在低头与抬头中度过的，人的历史也是由低头与抬头谱写的，其成败、荣辱、尊卑都体现在这低头与抬头之间，由此造成了千差万别的人生，演绎出五彩缤纷的世界。

低头想，抬头看。人生就是一本书，撰写这本书既不能打草稿，又不能重新写，这就突显出“想”和“看”的重要作用。低头想，就是对自己的人生进行规划，自我设计。抬头看，就是观察你所处的环境，借鉴别人的经验教训，因为“以人为镜，可知得失”。只有低头想得深、抬头看得远，并使二者配合默契，结合紧密，才能书写出人生精彩的篇章，实现人生成功的梦想。

低头拉车，抬头看路。在人生的路上，每个人就像一辆车，要把这车拉稳拉好，不仅要低下头、卯足劲、出大力、流大汗，还要抬头看路，因为人生的路尽管漫长，但关键处就只有几步，这几步只有看准了、选对了、走好了，才能不走或少走弯路，不摔跤，不翻车，顺利到达人生的彼岸，攀登到应有的高度。

低头做事，抬头做人。人来到这个世界，是为了干事的。要把自己承担的事情干好、干出色，就要低下头、安下心、坐下来、钻进去，这既是安身立命的根本，也是实现价值的途经，更是奉献社会的平台。因此，我们要堂堂正正抬头做人，做一个懂冷暖、知荣辱的人，做一个道德高尚的人，做一个光明磊落的人，做一个有益于人民的人。

低头哭泣，抬头微笑。常言说，人生不如意事常十之八九。当遇到工作挫折、身体疫病、感情创伤等等，难免会有软弱的时候，哭泣几声，宣泄一下，是应该的。虽低头有阴影，但抬头有阳光，就应该微笑。自古以来，多少名人或伟人在人生低潮时，也有过苦闷和彷徨，但都能抬头笑对生活，迎来辉煌的未来，这才是懂得低头中抬头的人。

在台上要低头，在台下要抬头。人的一生，基本上就是在台下和台上度过的。即使是普通老百姓，也有一个由“台下的儿子”变成“台上的老子”的问题。在“台上”要学会低头把别人当人，低头处世，不事张扬;在“台下”要做到抬头把自己当人，不卑不亢，乐观面对。只有这样，才算是领悟了人生的真谛。

低头要有勇气，抬头要有底气。人非圣贤，一个人只要干事情，难免有失误，甚至犯错误。有了失误，犯了错误，并不可怕，关键是要能认识和改正。所以，只要有敢于低头承认错误的勇气、勇于抬头改正错误的底气，就一定能从摔倒的地方再爬起来，得到别人的谅解，获得他人的理解，为人民做出新的贡献。

该低头就低头，该抬头就抬头。一般地说，人在春风得意或做出成绩时，应该懂得低头、记住低头，做个谦虚谨慎的人。而在身处逆境或遭遇失败时，应该挺胸抬头、勇于抬头，做个顶天立地的人。所以，把握好低头与抬头的时机，处理好低头与抬头的关系，才算掌握了人生的大智慧、大学问!

Sam is a little fish. He lives in the sea. He is very lonely. He wants to have a friend. The friend looks like him. Sam sees an ink fish. The ink fish has eight legs. He doesn’t look like Sam. So Sam goes away.

Sam meets a shark. He wants to say hello to the shark. The shark opens his big mouth. Sam runs away quickly.

Sam is tired and hungry. He wants to have a rest. Then he sees a round fish. She says to him. “Hello! Would you like to be my friend?”

Sam answers: “Of course! But you are round. I am flat.” The round fish days: “But we are both fishes.”

Sam thinks and says, “You are right. Let’s be friends.” They become good friends.

Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away or trying to mask the hurt. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it. When we run away from sadness that’s unfolding in our lives, it gets stronger and more real. We take an emotion that’s fleeting and make it a solid event, instead of something that passes through us.

当生活中出现痛苦的事情时，别再逃跑或隐藏痛苦，试着拥抱它吧;当悲伤来袭时，试着深呼吸，然后直面它。如果我们一味逃避生活中的悲伤，悲伤只会变得更强烈更真实——悲伤原本只是稍纵即逝的情绪，我们却固执地耿耿于怀。

[描写哲理的英语作文

这个世界有太多的怨言。世界的现况并不是我们想要的模样！

我还以为自己很乐观！我和大多数挑战“不抱怨”的人一样，很快就发现自己在日常互动中究竟说了多少抱怨的字眼。当我第一次听到，自己对工作发泄怒气，对压力和劳累发牢骚，对政治及世界局势唉声叹气，又对天气抱怨连连。发现自己使用了多少含有负面能量的字眼，简直让我震惊！自己的抱怨有多少？

经常看到职场漫画或商战小说中描述：当老板开口训诫时，职员都低头不语，心思却想着外面的花花世界，而离开办公室或公司以后，立即把刚才老板的一番话抛在脑后，找一个人去诉苦、狂欢，大大的讽刺“抱怨无用论”

很多员工总是认为，老板最有权力抱怨——抱怨经济不景气、抱怨公司不拽钱、抱怨员工没有上进、抱怨股东不支持、抱怨厂商不配合、抱怨原材料成本又上涨、抱怨顾客不上门、抱怨观光不消费、抱怨政府官员不做事、抱怨银行紧缩银根、等等……但是静下心来思考，抱怨有用吗？抱怨能改变不佳的情况吗？能获得支援吗？能增加竞争力吗？

唯有将时间与心思运用在知识和智慧的基础上，讲成功与失败的经验分享给合作伙伴，转换更有意义的“执行力、竞争力、永续力”才是正确之道。过去不管事业顺利或不顺利，我一直保持着感恩惜福的心情，去面对尊敬我的领导、好友以及同仁，大家一起打拼，才能够创造理想的效益和美好的生活。

一些工作的经历，使我深切感到工作的可贵，也再次体认到人的在生能力很强的，是否有作用全赖人的意志力和决心！所以说一个人能成功，意志力和决心的力量是不容忽视的，它是成败的关键。同样的，要去除“不抱怨”的习惯，能用环保又省钱、有效的简单运动来提醒自己，大家都应该用意志力和决心一起响应，共建美好幸福的社会！

改变你的言语；改变你的思维；停止抱怨，在好事发生时表达感激，你就改变你的人生！

如果不喜欢一件事，就改变那件事；如果无法改变，就改变自己的态度。不要抱怨！

终结抱怨，改变人生！

We turned around and saw a gradually rising mountains from the sea, the mountains there are trees, there are buildings, while on the up in the air, the clouds slowly into the horizon, a flash, a cloud that has been scattered by the wind a.

Because of a dispute, the Eight Immortals Jade Emperor was downgraded first-class. Since then, the Eight Immortals no longer afraid to stir up trouble to the outside.

所谓八仙是指八位仙人，他们分别是：铁拐李、汉钟离、蓝采和、张果老、何仙姑、韩湘子、曹国舅和吕洞宾。

有一天，八仙向西王母拜寿回来，腾云驾雾从东海上空经过，只见海上波涛汹涌，白浪滔天，煞是壮观。于是，八仙决定到海面上玩一玩。

吕洞宾说：“大家把自己的宝物扔到海面上，借着它渡过大海，比一比谁更有神通，怎么样？”

铁拐李首先对这一建议表示欢迎，他兴致昂扬地说：“好啊！大家先看我的！”便把拐杖投向海中，拐杖像一条小船漂浮在水面，铁拐李一个筋斗，翻立在拐杖上。

接着汉钟离把他的芭蕉扇丢到海上，跳下去站在上面。

接着，其他几位仙人也各显神通，张果老倒骑着毛驴，吕洞宾踏着雌雄宝剑，韩湘子坐着萧，何仙姑乘着花篮，蓝采和站在拍板上，曹国舅踩着玉版，都在海面上漂浮了起来。

八仙安稳地顺着汹涌的波浪漂去，这与腾云驾雾感觉大不相同，别有一番新的刺激和情调，大家玩得好不快意。

这时，曹国舅突然用手指向右边，并高声喊道：

“大家看啊！那里有座海市蜃楼！”

大家转头一看，只见一座仙山渐渐地从海里升起，山上有树木，有楼房，一会儿就升到半空中，慢慢地变成天边的浮云，一转眼，那浮云又被风吹散了。

韩湘子说：“我们真是眼福不浅！蜃气是海里蛟龙嘘出来的气体 ，百年难得一见啊！”

突然 ，蓝采和从他们当中消失了。大家远近观望，一边找一边喊，可就是不见蓝采和的踪迹，张果老猜说：

“可能是东海龙王作怪，他不欢迎我们在他的海上大显神通，把蓝采和抓到龙宫去了，走 我们一起到龙宫要人去！”

大家来到龙宫，婉言请求龙王放人。龙王蛮不讲理，不但不肯，还派自己的几个儿子带领虾兵蟹将追杀八仙。八仙只得用随身的法宝当武器，抵抗虾兵蟹将，经过一场激烈的战斗之后，龙王的两个太子被八仙杀死了。

龙王一听，自己的两个儿子被八仙杀了，真是悲愤至极，商请南海、西海、北海龙王来帮忙。龙王的不依不饶，把八仙也给惹火了。铁拐李用酒葫芦把海水吸光，其余几位仙人将泰山搬了过来，往东海一扔，东海立刻变成了一座高 。

双方打得天昏地暗，日月无光，把太上老君、如来佛和观世音也惊动了，他们全都赶来调解。调解的结果是，由蓝采和送东海龙王两片玉版，作为杀两位太子的补偿泰山则由观世音负责搬回原处。

因为这一场纠纷，八仙被玉皇大帝降级一等。从此，八仙再也不敢到外面惹是生非了。

要求：1 必须包括对上述主要内容的感想，可以适当增减细节，使其连贯、完整。

2 词数：100左右

Chinese people are now face to a serious problem--pollution. And this problem is a little bit different from others--the goverment can not solve it by themselves. We need everyone to protect our environment. But we also know that it is very hard to call everyone to join us to protect the environment. But it seems that they have found the way to let everybody know it. In a report, Anhui Daily called on residents to help protect the river against pollution. I am so glad about it. And i believe that somewhere the pollution must stop.

【翻译】

中国人现在面临着一个严重的问题污染。这个问题有点不同，政府不能自己解决。我们需要每个人来保护我们的环境。但我们也知道，很难叫大家加入我们保护环境。但似乎他们已经找到了让每个人都知道的方法。在一份报告中，安徽日报呼吁居民帮助保护河流免受污染。我很高兴。我相信某处的污染必须停止。

I recently started a new job, in a small office, where four of us share a fridge. In that fridge is a Brita water filter pitcher. One of my coworkers complained the water tasted "dirty". It went on for a few days, and she was stunned I could drink the water without any trouble. I started to doubt my taste buds, but the water really tasted fine.

最近我找了份新工作，是在一间小办公室里，我们四个人共用一个冰箱。冰箱里有一个Brita牌滤水壶，有一个同事抱怨说水喝起来感觉很“脏”，她连续抱怨了几天，还很震惊我喝这样的水竟然没事。我开始怀疑自己的味蕾出问题了，但我真觉着水喝着还不错。

Finally, she figured out the problem was actually her cup. She simply forgot to clean it, and after awhile started to affect the water inside it. She cleaned her cup, and drank the water with no problem.

最后，她发现问题出在了她的杯子上，她只是忘了刷杯子，过一段时间就影响里面水的味道了。她把杯子洗干净了，水就没有异味了。

I cant help but think about the world we live in. Too often we quickly blame other people, other things, anything else but ourselves. "Youre racist". "Youre intolerant". "Youre the problem". The world isnt perfect, I know, but I think we should take a step back sometimes and ask ourselves some tough questions.

我禁不住思考了我们生活的世界，我们总是急于责备其他人、其他事、除了自己之外的一切东西。“你有种族歧视”、“你太狭隘”、“是你的问题”，我知道世界并不完美，但我认为有时我们应该退一步，问自己几个很难回答的问题。

Can I be better? Is my heart really pure? Can I help this situation with kindness?

我能变得更好吗？我的心真的纯洁吗？我能带着善意解决问题吗？

I want to tell you this; please clean your cup. Because when you do, the water will taste much better. I promise you this.

我想告诉你这个道理：请洗干净自己的杯子。因为只有你把杯子洗干净了，里面的水味道才会好，我保证。

[哲理英语作文

会欣赏，不幸也是快乐，不会欣赏，幸福也是痛苦。会欣赏的人能在不幸中看到希望，不会欣赏的人便在幸福中也感到平庸。会欣赏的人，能从茫茫沙漠中发现绿洲，能寻到万顷波涛中的一片归帆。不会欣赏的人，说长城唯一的遗憾是上面有许多缺口。自然显得美，因为人们能够欣赏自然，死亡可怕只因人们不能以欣赏者的姿态接受。欣赏需要博大的胸怀，高深的知识和敏锐的洞察力。心胸狭小，对别人的才能，别人的优点只会嫉妒，不会欣赏。知识贫乏，就会用无知去理解渊博，如果没有敏锐的洞察力，就不能揭去现象的面纱而欣赏本质，卞和献璧的故事就是很好的说明。有人说人与人之间重要的是理解。我却说更重要的是欣赏。欣赏一个人，就意味着尊重和赞许，尊重和赞许永远不会是真诚的敌人。而深刻的理解有时却会刺激人最深的隐痛。自己是组成世界的分子，能欣赏自己，自己便属于这个世界。世界是培植自己的沃土，能欣赏世界，世界也属于自。
