Dear Dad,

Do you remember Christmas Eve a year ago? That night, I hung a red sock at

the bedside, in front of you, I closed my eyes and made a wish. When I open my

eyes, my first word is, "Dad, will Santa come?" You say, "It will come!" "Will

he always be with me?" I asked. You do not answer, but I see in your pupils a

little worry.

The next day, I found what I wanted in the red socks. When I held the socks

came to your front, your haggard face bloomed a happy smile, and I in your eyes

caught a trace of sadness.

In a twinkling of an eye, the world as if a lot of old, this years

December 24, Xi son to our home rehearsal program, you sent him away, I still

put the red socks -- or last years socks, hanging in my bedside. I asked you

the same question, "Dad, will Santa come?" "Yes," you replied. "Will he grow up

with me?" I asked. You still did not answer, I in your old face swept a trace of

sadness.

In fact, I already knew that there is no Such thing as Santa Claus. Last

year, the Santa Claus who gave me presents was you. Nevertheless, with a faint

hope, I asked you the same question I had asked you a year before, but I still

got your silent answer, and I understood everything.

This years Christmas Eve, "Santa Claus" or gave me a gift, But I happily

ran to you there, I suddenly heard you ask: "Son, do you like Santa Claus? I

dont know how to answer. I know its you, but can you give me that wish I had a

year ago? I inadvertently found a white hair on your head, my heart like knocked

over a bottle of taste, I have been in the quilt babble until eleven o

clock.

Dad, youre still the Santa I was a year ago, but you cant live up to my

wishes like the legend says Santa Claus can. I finally understand the sadness in

your eyes, and understand the suffering in your heart. Dad, youre an

"incompetent" Santa. I thought you were an ordinary person in the world. But

then I suddenly realized that all the fathers in the world are unqualified Santa

Claus and you are the greatest person in the world!

Dad, I love you!

Today is June 21st, Fathers Day. There is an indescribable feeling in my

heart, because I am not by their side, my parents are over 50 years old, and a

son cannot be filial by his side, and when the family is busy with farming, he

has to go to the construction site to sell his coolies in exchange for a little

bit. Poor wages.

I deeply remember the year when I went to school in 1999, my father told me

a sentence: "I can only put you in the car, and the future is up to you." I

understand what he meant, he was in Tell me that your brother went to a normal

school, and I will also enroll you in a secondary school. After school,

everything is up to you. My fathers teachings are like a lamp, illuminating my

future and inspiring me all the time.

I am a native rural boy. At some point our way out is to go to school. My

three brothers and sisters all went to secondary school, which is a huge expense

for a rural family. But in the eyes of my parents, we must be more promising

than them, not to farm at home, even if the family is busy with farming, we

should read books at home. I clearly remember that when I was in the first grade

of junior high school, my father and mother were working in the farmland. When I

went home to fetch water to drink in the field, I found that I was not reading,

but watching TV at home. Dad was very angry at the time, and asked me to take

the book and follow him. I followed him in despair. When he got to the field, he

asked me to read books there. He even found an umbrella for me so that I would

not be exposed to the sun. Although Dads eyes were harsh, they were more warm

and caring. At the time, I didnt understand the good intentions of my parents,

but now I really feel guilty when I think about it.

Dad, today is Fathers Day. In the past 28 years, you have done so much for

us. I can never repay in my life. I hope you are happy every day, healthy and

safe.

Whenever I walk heavy, I can always remember the power of your gaze and

move forward. Dad, you are my crutch at all times, give me support, give me

direction, give me strength, so that I can walk every step of the way in the

future. Even if you are not by my side, that deep fatherly love will still help

me forever!

Now that I have become a father, I have a deeper understanding of the kind

of expectation and care I have for my children. Dad I will always love you.

Again, I wish the parents of the world good health and long life.

篇12:温斯顿·丘吉尔:生活侧记-名人传记英文故事

全文共 4543 字

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲,温斯顿·丘吉尔,在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画,当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年,任海军大臣的他,积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中,这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败,伤亡惨重,丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说:“我想他会痛苦而死,”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿,丘吉尔后来回忆道,“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我!”

一天他在花园散步时,偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟,然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法!

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来,克莱门廷非常开心,她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而,迈出下一步似乎有些困难,因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起,后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调,然后以万分的小心,在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时,传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀!’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢?给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅,她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨,在调色板上龙飞凤舞,接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时,约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居,也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生,拉威利说:“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政,我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中,丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后,在1921年,母亲刚去世两个月,他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德,这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下,温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰,用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说:“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流,背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉,达克迪莉(玛丽戈尔德的昵称)使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年,也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间,称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上,他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊,是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人,但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中,大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说:“画家其乐融融,因为他们不会孤独。光与色,和平与希望,会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。

The empty dam below my home was clean and tidy, and now the empty dam is full of rubbish, especially on rainy days, polluted water, and pedestrians passing by. The other people, because of the strength of the power, threw the garbage just hanging on the tree, ugly dead.

Im going to talk to the grown-ups. Theyre not talking to me. What are the kids doing? And drove me out. After I was driven out, I thought to myself, "this cant work. I can go to the neighborhood committee." So I went to the neighborhood committee. When I arrived at the neighborhood committee, I said to an aunt, "aunt, I want to reflect that someone in this building is littering." Aunt kind of say: "kid, the things we already know, one building will see you in a few days to clean the residents of the building to education, by the way you, you are quick to go home."

Last winter holiday, I went to shanghai with my mother.

It's very cold in winter. There is snow and ice everywhere and you are always in a white world. You must wear warm clothes. The most exciting thing is playing with snow. Skating is also very interesting there.

I will' always remember shanghai, for the snow, the ice and all the beautiful things. I love shanghai.

With the general standard of living improving and the working week becoming shorter, more and more people are able to make a holiday trip to places of interest. While many like to join package tours fro convenience, I prefer to travel on my own.

I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own, I’m my own boss; and can decide when to start on my way, where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary, in a package tour you‘re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle, you have to jump up from a sound sleep and, with heavy-lidded eyes, hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving, you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule, regardless of the weather or your health condition.

True,you may encounter inconveniences if you travel inpidually,for instance, getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

去年寒假,我和妈妈去了上海。

冬天很冷的。世界上到处都是雪和冰,你总是在一个白色的世界里。你必须穿暖和的衣服。最令人兴奋的事情是玩雪。滑冰也很有趣。

我将永远记住上海,因为雪,冰和所有美好的事物。我爱上海

随着人们生活水平的提高和工作时间的缩短,越来越多的人能够去旅游景点度假旅行。而许多想参加旅行团摇来摇去方便,我喜欢在我自己的旅行。我喜欢旅行,可以自己不仅因为它的价格要便宜得多,因为它给了很大程度的独立和自由。我独自去旅游,我是自己的老板;可以决定什么时候出发上路,在那里逗留久一点,哪一点可以跳过了一个景点节省精力和时间。我可以随时调整我的计划。相反,在包价旅游你剥夺尽可能自由的一个军事基地。在口哨的声音,你要跳起来从睡,沉重的眼皮,赶去聚会的地方,你正在收集和统计上的教练。在小国旗飘扬的景象,你必须立即把自己远离你希奇的场景和跟踪指导的唯一的兴趣是根据他走过所有风景点严格的时间表,无论天气或你的健康状况。真的,你可能会遇到麻烦如果你单独旅行,比如,得到住宿过夜,找地方吃饭。但没有什么可以是一个人度假旅行主要是为了逃避他的日常生活的约束自由比较重要。
