1. What Is Happiness?(幸福是什么?)1不同的人对幸福有不同的看法?2我对幸福的看法。写作导航第一段主题句之后可举例说明不同的人对幸福的看法，一些人认为有钱就有幸福，另一些人认为，还应有权才行；第二段列出与此完全不同的另一些看法：有信仰、有智慧、有健康的身体才是幸福；第三段自然给出我的看法：学习取得进步、工作做出成绩、家庭和睦就是幸福。范文Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some people believe that if they have lots of money, they will be happy. They believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not onlymoney, but also many other things which cant be bought by money.However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.For me, happiness is closely tied to my studies, my work and my family. When I made great progress in my studies, when I made contributions to the society through my work, when all the members in my family live in harmony, sharing good and sad times, I was happy. Although the definition of happiness depends on each individual my wealth of happiness is in my studies, my work, and my family. 2.电子游戏的本质只是一种消谴，一种娱乐。作为学生，我们的本职工作是学习，可以体验一下电子游戏的乐趣，却不能深陷其中而无法自拔。Step Away From the Video GamesEvery afternoon hundreds of thousands of youths flood Internet cafes, switch on a game console, or otherwise sit down to involve themselves in intense fantasy worlds. Im talking about video games, games like Counter Strike, Diablo, Smash Brothers or Halo. These games can be fun and exciting, but we need to watch out for when this pastime becomes an addiction.Games are often incredibly exciting and dramatic, but they generally arent very intellectual. We dont learn as much from them as we would simply reading a book, and spending too much time playing them can take away our study time. We need to remember that we are students first and foremost. Nothing should ever get in the way of proper studying.Video games can also be a bad influence on younger children who may be watching. Many video games are violent and the object in most of them is to kill the other players. This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not acceptable and need to be taught how to handle situations maturely. Even if we do decide ourselves to sit down and play a violent video game, we need to make sure that it is not influencing the younger people around us. 221 words行文点评文章以描述现象开始进入主题，逐步分析原因得出结论并提出呼吁。文章开头作者先提到一个普遍存在的现象：许多年轻人沉迷于电子游戏。最后一句为过渡句，作者先指出video games非常有趣、刺激，紧接着运用转折连词but将话题一转，顺势提出作者的观点：我们必须提防不要沉迷于这种消遣。在第二、三两段中，作者阐明了玩游戏的弊端，每段的首句都是这一段的主题句。第三段结尾处作者用even if提出妥协性的呼吁，为短文画上一个圆满的句号。本文使用了一些精彩的固定搭配，使文章增色不少，例如：第一段中的hundreds of thousands，switch on，take away，first and foremost等等。好文妙译远离电子游戏每天下午，成百上千的年轻人就会涌进网吧，接通游戏控制台，或者坐下来自己一人沉溺于一个紧张的梦幻世界。我说的是电子游戏，像反恐精英、暗黑破坏神、任天堂明星大乱斗或是光环。这些游戏非常有趣、刺激，但我们必须提防不要沉迷于这种消遣之中。游戏通常都非常刺激、生动，但通常并不能锻炼智力。玩游戏并不能像读书那样学到很多知识，况且花太多时间玩游戏也会占据我们读书的时间。我们必须记住，首先也是最重要的一点是，我们还是学生。没有什么应该影响我们正常的学业。电子游戏对于那些只是观看的小孩也是一个坏影响。许多电子游戏都非常暴力，其目标大部分都是杀死另外的玩家。对于那些必须教会他们暴力是不正当的，必须教会他们成熟处理事情的孩子来说，这并没有传达一个正确的信息。即使我们自己决定坐下来打一场刺激的电子游戏，也必须确保没有影响到周围的年轻人。词汇斟酌console n. 控制台，游戏台 switch on 用开关开启，接通电源intense a. 强烈的，剧烈的，紧张的；专注的，热情的pastime n. 消遣，娱乐addiction n. 沉迷，上瘾incredibly ad. 难以置信地intellectual a. 智力的，有才智的maturely ad. 成熟地，充分地violence n. 暴力佳句临摹【注释】hundreds and thousands of.成百上千的【临摹】Within a month, there would be hundreds of thousands of cases and hundreds of thousands of deaths.仅在一个月内，就发生了成百上千的个案以及死亡案例。【注释】first and foremost 首先并且最重要的【临摹】He does a bit of writing, but first and foremost hes a teacher. 他也写一些文章, 但他主要是个教师。【注释】get in the way of 阻碍【临摹】You should never let fear get in the way of you pursuing success.永远不要让恐惧成为你追求成功的绊脚石。【注释】even if即使，纵然，尽管【临摹】Even if I had to walk there all the way Ill get there.即使我得一路走着去，我也要走到那里。思如泉涌Lookers-on see more than players.当局者迷，旁观者清。The time of life is short; to spend that shortness basely, it would be too long.人生苦短，若虚度年华，则短暂的人生就太长了。 3.在大学校园里，手机的普及率越来越高。对于许多学生而言，手机已经成为他们必不可少的通讯工具。但是手机的普及也存在着许多问题，它可能会影响我们的正常学习。Do Mobiles Distract Study？Wherever you are, you can see many people equipped with mobile phones. It seems that the world becomes smaller nowadays. You could be found wherever you are so long as you take the mobile phone with you. And mobile phones are also becoming a new scene on campus.Students think it is extremely convenient for them to communicate with the outside world by using mobile phones, especially when they are hunting for jobs, so they call it an essential investment.Education experts analyze the entry of mobile phones into campus as an indication of social progress. And mobile phones have been considered advanced for its attractive functions. The youth of today send messages, surf on the net, listen to music and even take photos by using their mobile phones. To some extent, it reflects that college students are more and more involved in this modern society, rather than pedants in the “Ivory Tower”.As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone, while providing convenience, causes trouble too. In classrooms, the untimely ringing interrupts lectures and destroys the atmosphere of study, so it prompts many complaints. And the mobile phone users themselves also suffer.Therefore, we need to think more about how to integrate mobile phones properly into our lives.214 words行文点评文章由现象到本质，分为五个段落层次分明地对主题进行了论述。第一段由普遍现象进而引出话题，指出手机已经成为校园里的a new scene，说明讨论的内容是关于校园使用手机的问题。第二段中，作者从学生的角度切入，肯定了手机给生活带来的便利，引起学生的共鸣，为后面观点的提出作了很好的铺垫。第三段作者从专家的角度指出手机进入校园是社会进步的体现，增加说服力。第四段引出作者的观点，并举出校园实例论证自己的观点。最后一段用therefore总结全文，提出呼吁。文章行文流畅，第二段、第三段的首句采用了表达观点的常用句型：Students think ；Education experts analyze 使文章结构清晰。第四段用谚语a coin has two sides引出作者观点。最后一段：让手机适当地融入我们的生活，是对文章标题的有力回应，properly一词充分表明了作者对问题的认识以及建议。好文妙译 手机影响学习吗？无论你在何地，你都会看见许多人使用手机。如今，世界似乎越来越小了，只要你带上手机出门，不管你在哪儿，你都会被找到。而在大学校园里，手机也已经成为了一道新的风景。学生们认为，手机可以让他们非常便利地与外界联系，特别是当他们找工作的时候，所以他们认为这是个必要的投资。教育专家分析，手机进入校园是社会进步的体现。手机已经成为非常先进的科技产物，具有各种吸引人的功能。现在的年青人喜欢用手机发短信、上因特网、听音乐、甚至拍照。在某种程度上，这反映了大学生越来越融入这个现代社会，而不是待在“象牙塔”里的书呆子。正如硬币都有两面一样，手机在提供方便的同时，也产生了一些问题。在教室里，不合时宜地响起的手机铃声不但打断了上课，而且破坏了学习的气氛，因此引起了诸多抱怨。手机使用者自己也同样是受害者。因此，我们应该更多地想想如何使手机适当地融入我们的生活。词汇斟酌pedant n. 学究式人物untimely a. 时间上不适当的，不适时的integrate v. 使成整体，使一体化佳句临摹【注释】to some extent在某种程度上，【临摹】To some extent, I am responsible for the delay.在某种程度上,我对拖延负有责任。【注释】integrate. into使并入，使成为一体【临摹】Many young people successfully integrated themselves into their new surroundings.许多年轻人成功地同新的环境打成一片。思如泉涌Whether you like it or not, the mobile phone has already affected our lives and played an important role in the history of human beings.无论你喜不喜欢手机，它已经改变了我们的生活，并在人类历史上发挥着重要的作用。Whatever you do, do with all your might.不管做什么，都要一心一意。 4.走进大学，意味着从学生向社会人过渡的开始。怎样在学习的同时增加自己的阅历，丰富生活，是许多大学生面临的问题。假期打工成为了许多人的选择。Summer JobThe summer job is a tradition among students of American universities. Long before the end of the school year, students begin their search for jobs during vacation (June, July, and August). Students send letters to businesses, talk to employers about job opportunities during the summer, and ask friends and relatives to be on the lookout for jobs for them. By June the students have usually solved the problem and begin to make preparations for leaving their books to enter the business world.Reasons for wanting a summer job are different from student to student. Some work to help pay their school expenses; others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the fun of it.Typist, construction worker, salesman, lifeguard, and waiter these are some of the more common jobs that students try to find during the summer months. But many young people find work that is a little more unusual. 158 words行文点评本文是一篇介绍summer job的文章。第一段重点描述大学生找工作的过程，作者在首段首句明确提出了文章的主题：暑期打工。进而又指出学生寻找打工机会的不同方式，或自己投信寻找，或向同学、亲友寻求帮助。第二段主要解释学生暑期打工的动机。最后一段列举了学生打工中经常选择的职业。整篇文章虽然短小，但介绍全面。第一段中long before the end of the school year, during the summer, by June等几个时间状语的使用使文章结构紧凑，第二段中三个排比句的运用 (some ; others; still others)，一气呵成。好文妙译暑期打工暑期打工是美国大学生的一种传统。在学年结束很早以前，学生们就开始寻找假期中(六月、七月、和八月)的工作了。学生们寄信给一些公司，向老板询问暑期工作的机会，或是让亲戚、朋友帮忙打探有没有合适他们的工作。到了六月，这个问题通常已经搞定，学生们也在准备着离开书本，进入工作的世界了。学生想要暑期打工的原因各不相同。有些人为了筹集学费而工作，一些人打工是为自己选择的职业积累经验，还有些人打工仅仅是因为觉得好玩而已。打字员、建筑工人、推销员、救生员、服务生这些都是学生在暑假几个月中通常选择的工作。当然，也有很多年轻人能够找到特别一些的工作。词汇斟酌lifeguard n. 救生员佳句临摹【注释】on the lookout for寻找，搜寻【临摹】The expedition went far away to the island on the lookout for the gold.探险队远赴小岛去寻找黄金。【注释】make preparations for为做准备【临摹】Jane is making preparations for her marriage.简正在筹备她的婚礼。思如泉涌The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.为把明天的工作做好，最好的准备是把今天的工作做好。Part-time jobs not only enable students to cultivate their abilities, but also help them apply their knowledge to practice.打工不仅使学生们发掘了自己的潜力，也有助于他们学以致用。After-class work may distract the studentsattention from their studies.学生们会因为打工而分散了对学业的注意力。 5.社会在追逐潮流，学校里也已蔚然成风。大家会蜂拥而起模仿领军人物的所作所为，以为那就叫“个性”。其实，每个人都有自己的个性，为什么不学着做自己呢？Be YourSelfIn every school a “top” crowd sets the pace, while the others follow their lead.Lets say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people a bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher.Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but dont do it yourself. Learn to say, “No.”Develop your own standards and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree with, have the courage to bow out politely. Youll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet. Remember this in your heart, you are the unique one in the world, just be yourself.221 words行文点评本文第一段先对学校中现存的这种不良风气进行阐述。第二段进而分析其危害所在，其实这样做最大的危害在于明知自己做错了，还可以为自己找到开脱的借口“因为大家都在这样做”。在第三段中陈述了自己对待这种情况的态度，那就是要Develop your own standards and your own judgment.。对于你认为是错误的事情，即使大家都在做，你也要勇于退出。最后一段提出作者的建议，呼吁学生们要学会自立，做自己，不盲从。文章由表及里，论述层层递进，很有说服力。好文妙译做你自己每所学校中都有一群领头学生做出榜样，其他人蜂拥效仿。比如，一旦这些领头学生决定以穿鲜红色羊毛衫为时尚，那么很快人人都会穿着鲜红色羊毛衫。这件事本身没什么问题，但事实上有些人极不适合穿鲜红色毛衫。如果这些领头学生觉得喝酒或以70英里的时速开车很时尚的话，情况甚至会变得危险起来。这些盲从的学生正危及自己的生命。他们就像被领到屠夫面前的绵羊。在你生命中，这种情况你可能遇到不止一次；可能你时不时也会做自己知道是不对的事情。你可能会为自己开脱说：“大家都在这么做嘛。”那让大家这么做好了，但你自己不要这样做。要学会说“不”。要有自己的标准和判断。如果你知道大家正在计划一件你不赞成的事情，鼓起勇气礼貌地退出。你会为自己学会自立感到满意的。请记住一点，世上只有一个你，做你自己吧。词汇斟酌unbecoming a. 不适合的endanger vt. 危急butcher n. 屠夫，屠户judgment n. 评价，判断佳句临摹【注释】set the pace 领先，起带头作用【临摹】With Roddy setting the pace, the boys went uphill and arrived with bursting lungs.罗迪一马当先，男孩们便向山坡上狂奔，到终点时肺都要炸了。【注释】bow out 从容引退【临摹】Their football team bowed out of the competition with unknown reasons. 不知道为什么，他们的足球队退出了比赛。【注释】standing on ones own two feet. 独立自主，自立【临摹】My uncle offered to help me, but I told him I would rather stand on my own feet.我叔叔提出要帮助我，但我告诉他我宁愿自力更生。思如泉涌Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.卓越的天才不屑走旁人走过的路。他寻找迄今未开拓的领域。 For man is man and master of his fate.人就是人，是自己命运的主人。 6.生活在现代社会中，掌握一门外语显得重要而且必要，对大学生来说尤其如此。当然，语言学习不能一蹴而就，应该循序渐进，并且要有一定的方法。Knacks for Learning LanguageWhat is language for? Some people seem to think its for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words the longer the words the better. Thats wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication.The way to learn a language is to practise speaking it as often as possible. A great man once said it is necessary to drill as much as possible, and the more you apply it in real situations, the more natural it will become.Learning any language takes a lot of effort. But dont give up.Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign languages should be fun. Rome wasnt built in a day. Work harder and practise more. Your hardworking will be rewarded by God one day. God is equal to everyone!Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly. Keep a small English dictionary with you at all time. When you see a new word, look it up. Think about the word use it, in your mind, in a sentence.Try to think in English whenever possible. When you see something, think of the English word of it; then think about the word in a sentence.Practise tenses as much as possible. When you learn a new verb, learn its various forms. I would also like to learn more about the culture behind the language. When you understand the cultural background, you can better use the language.234 words行文点评本文以总分结构介绍了英语学习的几个秘诀，首段以一种对语言的错误理解引出作者的观点，提出语言是为了进行沟通和交流的。下面的段落，分别围绕语言的这个目的，提出学习的方法。文章语言平实，句式简单，通俗易懂。内容丰富，角度多元，并引用了适当的名言谚语，如Rome wasnt built in a day,为文章增添了亮点。好文妙译学习外语的诀窍语言到底是用来干什么的呢？一些人认为它是用来操练语法规则和学习一大堆单词而且单词越长越好。这个想法是错误的。语言是用来交流思想，进行沟通的。学习一门语言的方法就是要尽量多地练习说。一位伟人曾说，反复操练是非常必要的，你越多地将所学到的东西运用到实际生活中，他们就变得越自然。学习任何语言都是需要花费很多努力的，但不要放弃。放松点！耐心点儿，从中找到乐趣！学习外语应该是乐趣无穷的。冰冻三尺，非一日之寒。更加努力地学习，更加勤奋地操练，你所付出的一切将会得到上帝的报答，上帝是很公平的。 经常使用词典和语法指南。随身携带一本小英文词典，当你看到一个新词时就去查阅，想想它然后再去用它，在你的心中，在一个句子里。 一有机会就努力用英文来思考。看到某物时，想想它的英文单词；然后把它用到一个句子中去。尽可能多地操练时态。学习一个动词时，要学习它的各种形态。学习和了解更多关于语言背后的文化知识，当你理解了文化背景，你就能更好地运用这种语言了。词汇斟酌drill v. 操练，训练reward vt. 酬劳，奖赏，报答佳句临摹【注释】give up放弃【临摹】You should never give up your dream.永远都不要放弃自己的梦想。思如泉涌The people who only learn about English take English as a subject. This is a mistake. Geography is no skill while English is. 那些对英语一知半解的人把英语当作一门课程。这是一种误解。地理不是技能，而英语却是。There are tricks in every trade. 每一行业皆有其窍门。 7.许多中国人花了很多时间在这个看到就头疼的英语上，只为了考试，成绩却常常一塌糊涂。如果只有外来的压力，学习效果就不会好到哪儿去。源自内心的动力是必需的。Improving Your Motivation for Learning English Remember there is a lot that you dont knowYou are good, but your English probably isnt perfect. You probably cant understand English language TV, read books in English, talk to native speakers easily, write letters without mistakes, etc.Even if you are the best student in your class, always try to find your weak areas and work on them. When youve learned to speak English well, your problems will be quite small: punctuation, rarely used grammar structures, rare words, understanding “street language”. Right now, your problems are probably more basic: mistakes in pronunciation, small vocabulary, grammar problems with the present perfect tense and conditional structures. Use your English whenever you canThe more you use English, the more you will want to learn it. Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere. You can use Google to find Englishlanguage websites with interesting information, you can watch American cartoons, you can play adventure games on your computer, you can read interesting books in English, or you can do other things that we write about.If you do these things, you will not only have fun and learn English. If you see that a new English word lets you understand your favorite TV show (or communicate with people, or beat a computer game), you will want to learn more words. So you will learn English more, use it more, learn it more, use it more. If you also use effective learning methods, your English will grow faster than you can imagine.257 words行文点评文中的小标题自然地将文章分为两部分，分别是作者针对提高英语学习的动机所提出的两点建议。在每一部分中又各自分成两段，第一段说明建议的合理性，第二段说明这样做的好处，结构非常清晰。文章避繁就简，用词简单明了，句式多用短句构成结构并不复杂的长句，既通俗易懂又增强可读性，排比句的使用也为文章增色不少。好文妙译提高英语学习的动机记住你还有很多不懂的东西你现在很不错，但是你的英语很有可能达不到非常出色的程度。你很可能还听不懂英语电视节目，读不懂英语书，不能很容易地与以英语为母语的人谈话，不能没有丝毫错误地写英文信，等等。即使你是班里最好的学生，也要经常努力去发现你的弱势并且多下功夫。当你的英语已经说的相当好时，你的问题就小多了：标点符号，很少被使用的语法结构，不常见的单词，理解“街道语言”。现在，你的问题很可能就更基础性了：发音上的错误，词汇量小，现在完成时和条件结构从句的语法问题。只要你能就尽量用英语你使用的英语越多，你就会越想学习英语。因为英语是如此普及，你在任何地方都可以使用它。你可以使用Google去搜索那些有有趣信息的英语网站，你可以看美国卡通，你可以用电脑玩冒险游戏，你可以读有趣的英文书，或者你还可以做其他这里写到的事情。如果你做这些事，你将不仅仅获得乐趣和对英语的学习。如果你发现一个新的英文单词使你理解了你最喜爱的电视节目(或者是与人们交往，或者是玩一个电脑游戏)，你就会想学到更多的单词。因此你将要学习更多的英语，更多地使用英语，再更多地学习它，再更多地使用它如果你还使用有效的学习方法，你的英语水平将会进步很快，甚至超乎你的想象。词汇斟酌rarely ad.不常，难得website n. 网络，站点佳句临摹【注释】the morethe more越就越【临摹】The more people you know, the less time you have to see them.你认识的人越多，见他们的时间就越少。【注释】多个语法功能相同的you can连用构成排比句式【临摹】Histories make men wise ; poems witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep ; moral grave ; logic and rhetoric able to contend .(注：几个并列成分的谓语和宾语都是make men，后面的分句中省略了)历史使人明智；诗词使人灵秀；数学使人缜密；哲学使人深刻；伦理使人庄重；逻辑和修辞使人善辨。思如泉涌There is no satiety in study. 学无止境。Successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it.凡是会学习语言的人都有一个明确的学习目的。他们之所以要学这种语言，那是因为他们对这种语言和操这种语言的人民感兴趣。 8.生命是运动的，生命是一个过程。每一天都可以是一个全新的开始，只要你懂得了生命的道理。从现在开始，认真对待生命中的每一天吧，美好的未来就在我们手里！Just at the Beginning“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite.”I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future
