On New Years eve finally came. In the evening, I and dad immediately after having my family reunion dinner with fireworks in the underground floor. Dad found a glade first, and then put the fireworks "flying rocket" gently on the ground, with lighter lit the fuse and finally listen to "sou", flying rockets into the sky, blossom a colorful spark, beautiful! When dad smiled and said to me: "stress, to put yourself!" I listened to frighten hurriedly to keep shake head to say: "I cant, I cant." "Macho man there is nothing to fear, as long as you a lit fireworks just stay away from it!" Dad said to me. Hear the word of the father, I was a little scared, "dont be afraid of, pay attention to safety! Father encouraged me to say. Hear the word of the father, I get up the courage to learn to dads appearance with lighter lit fireworks, and then quickly hid behind the father, see the fireworks sprayed out beautiful spark, open for a while like a chrysanthemum, for a moment like a meteor, now like split of... Ah! I made it! I am pleased to jumped up, because of the success of the first, I am no longer afraid of, I also more and more brazen, suddenly put a lot of fireworks, it is very happy!

Through the fireworks in this matter, I know that "nothing in the world is difficult if you put your heart into it" the meaning of this sentence, there is nothing difficult in the world, if we have the courage and perseverance will be successful!

春节里，我觉得最快乐的事是除夕夜放烟火。

在除夕夜的前一天早上，我和爸爸来到招商场那里卖烟花的地方，买了一大堆烟花，我们吹着欢快地乐曲满载而归了!这天夜里，我兴奋得几乎睡不着觉，心里盼望着：除夕夜快点到来!

除夕夜终于到了。晚上，我吃完团圆饭就和爸爸带着烟花兴高采烈地下楼了。爸爸先找了一块空地，接着把烟花“飞天火箭”轻轻地放在地上，最后用打火机点燃了引线，只听“嗖”地一声，飞天火箭冲向了天空，绽放出五颜六色的火花，真美!这时爸爸笑着对我说：“力力，你自己来放吧!”我听了吓得连忙直摇头说：“我不敢，我不敢。”“男子汉大丈夫没什么可害怕的，只要你一点燃烟花离它远一点就行!”爸爸对我说。听了爸爸的话，我还是有点胆战心惊，“不要害怕，注意安全!”爸爸鼓励我说。听了爸爸的话，我鼓足了勇气学着爸爸的样子用打火机点燃了烟花，然后飞快地躲到了爸爸的身后，只见烟花喷射出美丽的火花，一会儿象菊花开放，一会儿象流星，一会儿又象天女散花……啊!我成功了!我高兴地跳了起来，因为有了第一次的成功，我不再害怕，胆子也越来越大，一下子放了许多的烟花，真是太高兴了!

通过放烟花这件事，使我知道“世上无难事，只怕有心人”这句话的意思了，世界上没有什么难事，只要有勇气和恒心就一定会成功!

现在我们国家的圣诞节很隆重。圣诞节前几天，走到大街上，每个角落都让人感受到过节的气氛。大多数的商家、商场都摆着圣诞树和面带笑容形态可掬的圣诞老人，有的放在门口，有的摆在大厅。圣诞树呈塔形，穿着一件绿衣裳，身上挂慢了一个个小铃铛，只要轻轻一碰，叮当、叮当发出动听的声音，各种颜色的小灯好像天上眨眼的星星，又像五颜六色的小灯笼，一闪一闪的，美丽极了!

好多商家为了吸引顾客的眼睛，在透明的玻璃门上喷出各种圣诞礼物的图形，有的直接打出“庆圣诞大促销”的各种让利广告。明天就是平安夜，希望每个想得到礼物的小朋友都能有个特大的惊喜，当然我也不例外。

Thanksgiving is a virtue, to a person, with a sense of self-respect, self-confidence, tolerance are equally important. If there is no gratitude, you will be eliminated by The Times. Let us, therefore, the mentality of with gratitude to the people and things in the face of all!

Thanksgiving parents, return on the family

Parents are our first teachers, from the moment a child born, their life will pour into the parents love and best wishes. Perhaps, parents cant give us life of luxury. However, they gave everything in a persons life irreplaceable - life.

Parents of children love it props up a stretch of the sky. When you get hurt, cry, sad, sad, when you can come back here at any time, enjoy the love of parents. This is their happiness. Thanksgiving parents, even if it is a trivial things, as long as make them feel a trace of pleasure, thats enough. I remember CCTV broadcast a moving advertisement: a little boy with big eyes, struggling to carry a pot of water, naive said to his mother: "mom, wash feet." Is such an AD today, still hit. Moving reasons, not because of the actor, the most popular but it feelings moving heart, lung, infected with more than how many lovers all over the world, many people moved. Not only for lovely boy, and the one to the deep love and heartfelt gratitude. Such a thing, everyone can do it, but dont want to do. Ask: where are your gratitude?

感恩是一种美德，对于一个人来说，它与自尊、自信、宽容同等重要。如果没有感恩，你就会被时代淘汰。因此，让我们怀着感恩的心态来面对所有的人和事吧!

感恩父母，回报亲情

父母是我们的第一任老师，从一个孩子呱呱落地的那一刻起，他们的生命就倾注了父母的爱与祝福。或许，父母不能给我们奢华的生活。但是，他们给予了一个人一生中任何事物都不可替代的——生命。

父母为子女撑起了一片爱的天空。当你受伤时、哭泣时、忧郁时、难过时，你可以随时回到这里，享受父母的爱。这，便是他们的幸福了。感恩父母，哪怕是一件微不足道的小事，只要让他们感到一丝欣慰，这就够了。我记得央视播过一篇感人的广告：一个大眼睛的小男孩，吃力地端着一盆清水，天真地对妈妈说：“妈妈，洗脚。”就是这样的一部广告时至今日，仍在热播。动人的原因，不是因为演员当红，而是它的感情动人心肺，不止感染了天下多少的有情人，很多人为其感动。不止为了可爱的小男孩，也为了那一份至深的爱和发自内心的感恩。这样的事，每个人都能够做到，却又不愿去做。试问：你们的感恩都到哪里去了呢?

Lucky money

红包

Im so happy today because I got RMB 3,000 in "Lucky Money. "Grandpa alone gave me RMB 1,000. I must try to save this for college though and not waste it. But I think Ill allow myself to use part of it to buy a new dress tomorrow and then Ill put the rest un the bank.

今天我很高兴，因为我拿了三千元的红包。 祖父一个人就给了我一千元。 我必须尽量存起来以后作上大学之用而不去花掉。 不过我想我会让自己明天用一部分钱去买一件新衣服，然后将其他的钱存到银行里去。

Nowadays, it is not rare to see people displaying their wealth on the Internet. Some post pictures of luxury goods, such as brand clothes and bags, luxurious automobiles or jewelries. Some write about their experiences in which a lot of money is spent.

People have different responses to this phenomenon. Some say that it is people’s right to share their possessions or experiences with others on the Internet, as long as the things are legal and the experiences real. However, some criticize that the rich people are too arrogant. What’s worse, there are also a few who are not actually rich but put fake photos only to satisfy their vanity.

In my opinion, sharing is a good thing, and it is exactly the spirit of the Internet. But people should make careful choice on what they are sharing. After all, showing off is not very nice, not to mention faking.

如今,它不是罕见的看到人们在互联网上展示自己的财富。一些奢侈品的照片贴出来,如品牌衣服和包、豪华汽车、珠宝。写一些自己的经历要花费很多金钱。

的人有不同的反应这一现象。有人说,它是人的权利在互联网上与他人分享自己的财富和经验,只要事情是合法的和真实的经历。然而,一些批评,富人太傲慢了。更糟的是,也有一些人并不富有但只把假照片来满足他们的虚荣心。

在我看来,分享是一件好事,正是互联网的精神。但是人们应该仔细选择他们所共享。毕竟,炫耀不是很好,更不用说伪装。

[初二英语日记带翻译

My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally — but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldnt know he had a problem when you saw him walk .

The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldnt be able to run as well as the other children. So he didnt know.

In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross—country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others — perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didnt tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didnt know.

He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day — even the day he had a 103—degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. "Okay," he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldnt run four miles with a 103—degree fever. So he didnt know.

Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade — the other six team members were all eighth—graders. We never told him he shouldnt expect to make the team. We never told him he couldnt do it. We never told him he couldnt do it...so he didnt know. He just did it.

我的儿子琼尼降生时，他的双脚向上弯弯着，医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小琼尼可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。琼尼3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。七八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿有过毛病。

邻居的小孩子们做游戏的时候总是跑过来跑过去。毫无疑问小琼尼看到他们玩就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。我们从不告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，我们从不说他和别的孩子不一样。因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。

七年级的时候，琼尼决定参加跑步横穿全美的比赛。每天他和大伙一块训练。也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛，为学校拿分。我们没有告诉琼尼;也许会落空，所以他不知道。

他坚持每天跑4~5英里。我永远不会忘记有一次，他发着高烧，但仍坚持训练。我为他担心，于是去学校看他，发现他正在一个人沿着长长的林荫道跑步呢。我问他感觉怎么样，"很好。"他说。还剩下最后两英里。他满脸是汗，眼睛因为发烧失去了光彩。然而他目不斜视，坚持着跑下来。我们从没有告诉他不能发着高烧去跑4英里的路，我们从没有这样对他说，所以他不知道。

两个星期后，在决赛前的3天，长跑队的名次被确定下来。琼尼是第六名，他成功了。他才是个七年级生，而其余的人都是八年级生。我们从没有告诉他不要去期望入选，我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了!
