)withflyingfeet：以飞快的脚步，飞速地。(4)beholditeverywhere：behold＝see,看到(文学用语)，it=somethingbeautiful。下一行中的ontheearth和intheair进一步说明everywhere。(5)butitnevercomesagain!指的是对个人来说，青春一去不复返;与前面beholditeverywhere相对照，抒发了诗人惆怅惋惜的心情。科学实验的重要性theimportanceofscientificexperimentstheriseofmodernsciencemayperhapsbeconsideredtodateasfarbackasthetimeofrogerbacon(1),thewonderfulmonkandphilosopherofoxford(2),wholivedbetweentheyears1214and1292.hewasprobablythefirst,inthemid-tideagestoassertthatwemustlearnsciencebyobservingandexperimentingonthethingsaroundus,andhehimselfmademanyremarkablediscoveries.galileo(3),however,wholivedmorethan800yearslater(1564to1642),wasthegreatestofseveralgreatmen,whoinitaly,france,germany,oreng-land,beganbydegreestoshowhowmanyimportanttruthscouldbediscoveredbywell-directedobservation.beforethetimeofgalileo,learnedmenbelievedthatlargebodiesfallmorerapidlytowardstheearththansmallones,becausearistotle(4)saidso.butgalileo,goingtothetopoftheleaningtowerofpisa(5),letfalltwounequalstones,andprovedtosomefriends,whomhehadbroughttheretoseehisexperiment,thataristotlewasinerror.it【篇三：英语文章】chinesenewyearcelebrationisthemostimportantcelebrationoftheyear.chinesepeoplemaycelebratethechinesenewyearinslightlydifferentwaysbuttheirwishesarealmostthesame;theywanttheirfamilymembersandfriendstobehealthyandluckyduringnextyear.春节庆祝活动是一年中最重要的庆祝活动。中国人庆祝春节的方式可能略微不同，但其愿望几乎是相同的，他们希望其家人和朋友来年健康和幸运。chinesenewyearcelebrationusuallylastsfor15days.celebratoryactivitiesincludechinesenewfeast,firecrackers,givingluckymoneytochildren,thenewyearbellringingandchinesenewyeargreetings.mostofchinesepeoplewillstopthecelebratingintheirhomeonthe7thdayofnewyearbecausethenationalholidayusuallyendsaroundthatday,howevercelebrationsinpublicareascanlastuntilthe15thdayofnewyear.春节庆祝活动通常持续15天。庆祝活动包括春节的年夜饭，放鞭炮，给儿童压岁钱，春节钟声和春节问候。大多数中国人将在春节的第7天停止庆祝活动，因为全国性节假通常在这一天结束，但在公共场所的庆祝活动可能最终持续到正月十五。housecleaning房屋打扫tocleanhousesonthenewyeareveisaveryoldcustomdatingbacktothousandsofyearsago.thedustistraditionallyassociatedwith“old”socleaningtheirhousesandsweepingthedustmeantobidfarewelltothe“old”andusherinthe“new”.daysbeforethenewyear,chinesefamiliescleantheirhouses,sweepingthefloor,washingdailythings,cleaningthespiderwebsanddredgingtheditches.peopledoallthesethingshappilyinthehopeofagoodcomingyear.春节打扫房屋这个非常古老的习俗甚至可以追溯到几千年前。灰尘在传统上与“旧”联系在一起，所以打扫房屋和扫除灰尘意味着辞“旧”迎“新”。春节的前几天，中国的各家各户都打扫房屋，扫地，清洗日用品，清除蛛网和疏浚沟渠。人们兴高采烈做所有这些事情，希望来年好运。housedecoration房屋装饰oneofthehousedecorationsistopostcoupletsondoors.onthespringfestivalcouplets,goodwishesareexpressed.newyearcoupletsareusuallypostedinpairsasevennumbersareassociatedwithgoodluckandauspiciousnessinchineseculture.房屋装饰之一就是在门上贴对联。在春联上，抒发良好的祝愿。春联通常是成对张贴，因为双数在中国文化中是好运气和吉祥的象征。peopleinnorthchinaareusedtopostingpaper-cutontheirwindows.whenstickingthewindowdecorationpaper-cuts,peoplepasteonthedoorlargeredchinesecharacter“fu”aredfumeansgoodluckandfortune,soitiscustomarytopostfuondoorsorwallsonauspiciousoccasionssuchaswedding,festivals.在中国北方，人们习惯于在窗户上贴剪纸。人们既在窗户上贴剪纸，又在大门上贴上大大的红色汉字“福”字，一个红色“福”字意味着好运和财富，因此习惯上在婚礼，节日之类的吉祥场合中，人们都会在门或墙上贴“福”字。waitingforthefirstbellringingofchinesenewyear等待春节的第一声钟鸣thefirstbellringingisthesymbolofchinesenewyear.chinesepeopleliketogotoalargesquareswheretherearehugebellsaresetuponnewyear’seve.asthenewyearapproachestheycountdownandcelebratetogether.thepeoplebelievethattheringingofhugebellcandriveallthebadluckawayandbringthefortunetothem.inrecentyears,somepe
