recently, a video about the training of elephant called people’s attention. the young people made this video want to call for people to protect this wild animal. a lot of people kill or train the animals for making money, but more people have realize the cruelty and make up their minds to protect animals. 最近,一个关于训练大象的视频引起了人们的注意。做这个视频的年轻人是为了呼吁人们保护野生动物。很多人为了赚钱而杀死或训练动物,不过越来越多的人意识到这些行为的残忍并下定决心保护动物。

in thailand, riding animals is one of the famous amusement projects. after the video revealing the cruelty of training elephants, more visitors feel guilty and they never e_pect the harm they do to these lovely creatures. people response to the act to refuse riding elephants, and the good thing is that some elephants are free to be trained, but visitors still could see them in the wild zoo. all they could do is to feed them. what a nice change. 在泰国,骑动物是一项的游乐项目。视频揭示了训练大象的残酷后,越来越多的游客感到内疚,因为他们从没想过会伤害到这些可爱的生物。人们开始拒绝骑马,所幸的是有些大象不用再接受训练,但游客仍然可以在野生动物园里观看它们。他们能做的就是给它们喂食。这是一个不错的改变。

animals are indispensable part of nature, if they disappear someday, then human being will not survive for long. whatever we play for fun, we need to think about the result. if we hurt animals, then we should stop. animals and human beings are friends. 动物是自然界不可或缺的一部分,如果有一天它们消失了,那么人类将无法生存太久。无论我们以什么为乐,都要思考所带来的后果。如果我们伤害了动物,那么我们就应该停止。动物和人类是朋友。

父母通常会选择做一些牺牲,这样孩子才可以拥有更好的未来。特别是中国的父母,他们牺牲很多,把所有的希望寄托在后代身上。但根据调查,他们的过度牺牲不会让孩子也不会让自己感到快乐。

for parents, they give up a lot of things that they want to do to reach the desire that their children to realize their dreams instead. so they have the high e_pectation for their children and once the children let them down, they will feel disappointed or just push a lot of pressure on them. for children, they keep their parents’ words and they are easy to feel guilty if they can fulfill parents’ e_pectation. 对于父母来说,他们放弃了很多自己想做的事情来希望自己的孩子能帮他们实现他们的梦想。所以他们对自己的小孩有很高的期望,一旦孩子们让他们失望了,他们就会觉得受挫或者给予孩子们更大的压力。对于孩子来说,他们铭记着父母的话语,如果他们无法满足父母的期望,他们也会很容易感到内疚。

chinese parents’ over sacrifice will not please anyone. both sides will feel depressed. being a parent doesn mean to give up their dreams, and everyone has the right to chase their dreams and should not give up. it is everybodys duty to set the good e_ample to the children and show the positive attitude to life. children should be given more freedom to develop their talents. 中国父母的牺牲并不会取悦任何人,反而让双方都感到沮丧。为人父母并不意味着要放弃自己的梦想,每个人都有权利去追逐自己的梦想,不放弃。给孩子树立好榜样,表现出积极的生活态度是每个父母的责任。孩子们应该被给予更多的自由来发展才能。

篇三中国校服受欢迎吗? is chinese uniform popular?

in china, students feel so bad about their uniforms, because these clothes look almost the same, which are large size and can’t reflect anything beautiful. but look at the uniforms in other countries, which look young and beautiful. however, the latest news reported that korean students liked chinese uniform. 韩国电视剧在中国很受欢迎,从中我们了解到他们在学校的生活和学生的穿着。女生都是穿裙子,而男生穿的也可以让他们看起来更帅。我们都很羡慕他们的校服。但当韩国学生看到了中国的校服后,他们表示了喜欢,因为它的大尺寸让人觉得舒服,也可以方便做运动。

chinese uniform have been disliked by students for a long time, especially with the popularity of foreign films and television programs. as students realize the difference and appreciate western styles, they advocate the school to make some changes. indeed, some schools have put forward the new styles and are popular by students. i think students have the right to make them look beautiful and energy. 中国的校服在很久之前就不受学生欢迎,特别是随着外国电影和电视节目越来越受欢迎后。学生意识到差异并欣赏西方风格,他们提议学校做出一些改变。事实上,有些学校已经更换了新的风格,也受到了学生的欢迎。我觉得学生有权让自己看起来美丽和充满活力。

大象那段写得真有劲儿!“哀嚎”和“whine”用得准,视频引出话题也自然。客观来说后头突然跳到父母牺牲、校服……像三篇作文硬凑一块儿了,得理清主次,选一个深挖才有力气。

金钱能买到幸福吗?-英语作文带翻译

750字
主题:幸福来源、消费伦理、人际联结、心理机制、行为科学

金钱能买到幸福吗?这个被讨论了无数次的话题最终未被证实,因为不管如何,没钱的或者缺钱的人比较多,而这些人都认为钱能买到幸福。

while many of us go through life with the pursuit of money on our minds, we’re often told that money can’t buy happiness. but what truth is there in the saying? is there a correlation between money and happiness? and if so, how can we use it to our advantage? 同样的原理也已在团队跟公司组织中测试过。一项实验显示,与其公司组织写张巨额支票给慈善团体,不如把那金额在员工之间均分,让他们捐给自己选择的慈善团体,提升他们的工作满意度。同样地,把奖金花在彼此身上,而不是花在他们自己身上的人们,提升的不只是工作满意度,而且还改善团队绩效跟销售成绩。这已见证于销售和运动团队两者之中。

almost everywhere we look in the world, we see that giving money or gifts to others is positively correlated with happiness. interestingly, the specific way the money is spent on others isn’t important, from trivial guests to major charity efforts, spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness. 我们在世界上探究几乎每个地方,发现给予别人金钱或礼物和幸福感是正面相关连的。有趣的是,钱以什么特定方式花在别人身上并不重要,从小客人到大型慈善事业,花些钱在别人身上是提升你幸福感的重要面向。

the emotional rewards of pro-social spending are even detectable at the neural level. if you are gonna spend the money on yourself, try to go after e_periences as opposed to material things. traveling or going to an event is more impactful for the vast majority of people in the long run. and while you’re saving up for these biggest e_periences, don’t forget about the daily joys in life. many small, frequent pleasures help to get you through the days and encourage change, which stimulates the brain. 你有燃眉之急的问题想要解答吗?在留言中发问吧,或在facebook和twitter上发问,并订阅以获得更多的每周科学影片。

中英文混搭得挺自在,像平时聊天一样不拘束;但“小客人”这词翻得有点迷,是“小礼物”吧?顺手圈出来了,下回留个心眼~

加强学生对中国文学知识的学习迫在眉睫,这样才能提高他们的语言技能。我不反对使用网络流行语言,但是我们不能失去对学习中文的热情。

2000年初,女孩们开始追求骨感美,每个女孩都认为只有纤瘦的体型可以使她们看起来漂亮。广告也使用一些纤瘦的模特来吸引女性购买它们的产品。但是如今,审美改变了,超瘦的体型不再受欢迎。

some positive messages are showed in the ads. the models look beautiful with perfect body shapes, and they release the information about keeping balanced diet and doing e_ercise. this is the positive way to be beautiful instead of taking medicine or refusing having food. what’s more, the models advocate healthy body size, some ads use the models with average size, which inspires hundreds of girls. 积极的信息显示在广告中。模特看起来很漂亮,有着完美的体型,他们散发的信息是保持均衡的饮食和锻炼。这是积极变美的方式变美而不是通过药品或拒绝进食。而且,模特提倡健康的体型,有些广告使用普通大众身材的模特,鼓励了数以百计的女孩。

the change reflects people pay attention to their inner desire, and they dare to face who they are and accept the real side. many years ago, some skinny size models died because of lacking of nutrition. so the government took some policy to limit models’ size, in order to show people the healthy size. now it works. teenagers have positive attitude to lose weight. 现在,每当一对新人结婚的时候,他们都关心是否需要与父母一起生活。大多数夫妻在这个问题上都无法达成一致。似乎老年人跟孩子住一起就是为了寻求更好的照顾。但事实是,老人们通常不希望和年轻人住在一起。

on the one hand, old people know e_actly the gap between the young generation and their generation. the lifestyle will be very different. they get up early and wake up timely, while the young people like to stay up and they tend to make up sleep on weekends. if they live together, the timetable will be interrupted by each other and both can’t live happily. 一方面,老人知道年轻一代和他们这一代之间的差距。生活方式会非常不同。他们早起,醒来的时间也固定,而年轻人喜欢熬夜,喜欢在周末补觉。如果他们生活在一起,彼此的时间表会被打乱,过得也不开心。

on the other hand, it is easy to have argument if people stay together for a long time, no matter how nice they are at the beginning. the new couple will have their problem, while if the old people interfere, then things will be miserable. so it is better to stay off the argument. 另一方面,不管刚开始关系有多好,如果呆在一起的时间长了就很容易有矛盾。新婚夫妇会有他们自己的问题,如果老人干预,那么事情将变得更加不可收拾。所以是远离矛盾。

now most parents choose to live not far away from their children, because staying the small distance brings benefit to both sides.

现在大多数家长选择生活在离他们的孩子不远的地方,因为保持一定的距离给双方带来好处。

这篇作文里“骨感美→健康美”的转变写得挺真的是,广告例子也新鲜;但第三段中英文混杂有点突兀,像突然闯进来的客人,顺手改掉更清爽。
