第三十四天：WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成
The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.
It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.
成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志（用not so mush... as）。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是（用no more than）一个失败者。很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

Education is the very thing that we want to receive. Our parents send us to school so as to enable us to get (obtain) knowledge and achieve great things in the future. The following are the duties of a student (which) we should keep in mind.
In the first place, we should be filial to our parents and respectful to our teacher.
In the second place, we have to (must )study as hard as we can.In the third place, we must not tell lies.
Last of all, we must not criticize others.To sum up, the above-mentioned rules are the very duties of a student.
教育就是我们要接受的东西。我们父母送我们上学以便能使人们获得知识与将来成大事。下面是我们应该记住的学生的责任。我们应对父母要孝顺，对老师要尊敬。我们要尽可能的用功读书。我们切不可说谎。最后，我们不要批评别人。
总而言之，上面所说的规则就是我们应尽的责任。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第三十六天：TO BE PATIENT 要忍耐
When someone disagrees with you or offends you, don’t lose your temper. Why? Because it is of no use to do so. You ought to (should) be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him. You must know that patience is not cowardice, but a virtue. I hope that everybody practices it.In addition, patience will also bring us success. When you meet with difficulties in your work, it is no use losing heart. You must keep on fighting until (till) the final victory belongs to you.
当有人和你意见不同或开罪你的时候，你切不可发脾气。为什么？因为这样做是无用的（用of no use）。你应当忍耐并且保持冷静，唯恐和他争吵。你必须知道忍耐不是弱而是一种美德。我希望人人都实行它。另外，忍耐也会带给我们成功。当你在工作中遭遇到困难的时候，灰心是无用的。你必须继续作战直到最后胜利属于你为止。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第三十七天：SANITARY WAYS IN SUMMER 夏天的卫生方法
Not only is summer a hot season but also diseases are apt to happen. To us it is neither comfortable nor safe.
If we do not wish to get sick, we must pay attention to the following sanitary ways in summer.Both fresh air and clean food are indispensable to us.We must try our best to get (obtain) them.We should take at least one bath every day.Don’t wear dirty clothes.In conclusion, if we can carry out the above mentioned rules, we will neither get (take/fall) sick nor suffer pain.
夏天不仅是个炎热的季节，而且疾病也容易发生。它对我们既不舒适也不安全。我们希望不生病，就得注意下面那些夏天卫生的方法。新鲜空
气和干净的食物两者对我们是不可缺少的。我们必须尽全力去获得它们。我们每天至少应当洗一个澡。不要穿脏衣服。总而言之，如果我们能实行上面所说的那些规则，我们既不会生病也不会吃苦。
第三十八天：WORK WHILE YOU WORK, PLAY WHILE YOU PLAY 工作时工作，游玩时游玩
Both work and play are necessary to us; the former gives us knowledge while the latter (gives) rest. An English proverb is well said: “Work while you work play while you play.” It makes our life pleasant, efficient and successful.Work is one thing and play is another. It is of course not good to work all day long. However, it is also not good to play all day long. While you work, you should work in earnest. Then while you play, you will feel more relaxed and pleasant. That goes without saying.
工作和游玩两者对我们都是必须的，前者给我们知识，后者给我们休息。英谚说得好“工作时工作，游玩时游玩”。它使我们的生活愉快，有效率以及成功。工作是一回事，游玩又是另一回事。整日工作自然不好。然而，整天游玩也是不好。当你工作时，你应认真工作。那末当你游
玩时，你会觉得比较轻松愉快。那是不需说的。
第三十九天：MY FAVORITE PASTIME 我心爱的消遣
It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health. In other words, we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.
There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements, such as playing ball games, collecting stamps, fishing, gardening, skating and so on.
As for (to) me, I take great delight in gardening. Whenever I am at leisure, I am accustomed to growing flowers. I regard them as my most agreeable companion.
不需说，工作而不休息会对健康有害的。换句话说，我们最好工作后，从事分的消遣来轻松一下。
无疑的，消遣的种类很多，诸如打球，集邮，钓鱼，园艺，溜冰等等。
就我而言，我大大喜欢园艺。每当我有闲暇的时候，我习惯于种花。我把它们看作是我最称心如意的伴侣。
第四十天：FACTORS OF SUCCESS 成功要素
I would rather suffer hardships than fail. In other words, to achieve success is my only desire. We all know that there are many factors of success. Now let me write down the most important ones in the following.
Diligence—Foolish as a person is, he can succeed in his work if he works hard. That does not admit of any doubt.
Perseverance—When you fail, don’t lose heart. Keep on working until you accomplish your aim.
Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your words, no one will rely on you. I would rather be scolded than cheat (others).
我宁愿受苦难不愿失败。换句话说，获致成功是我唯一的愿望。我们大家知道成功要素很多。现在让我们把它们最重要的写在下面。勤勉――一个人虽然不大聪明，但是他地能做成他的工作，如果他苦干的话。那是不容置疑的。
毅力――当你失败的时候，不要灰心。要继续工作，直到你达到目的为止。
诚实――如果你说谎或不守信，没有人会信赖你。我宁愿挨骂不愿欺骗人。
第四十一天：MY AIM 我的志向
Whatever a man’s status is (may be), he must have an aim. If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason.However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them become our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society.If my aim can come true, I hope (wish) to be a teacher. However, teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties (as a teacher).
不论人是什么身份，他必须有一个志向。如果没有的话，他很难立足于世上。那是显而易见的。
不论名利如何重要，我们切不可让它们成为我们生活之目标。我们应当志在做一些对社会有益的事情。
如果我的志向能实现的话，我就希望成为一个老师。然而，教书并不是一容易的事情。我必须专心学业以便能应因我的职责。--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第四十二天：OUR NATIONAL FATHER 我们的国父
There is no doubt that Dr. Sun Yat-Sen is the greatest man that I ever known in my whole life. He set up the Republic of China, so we call him our National Father.
He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. His aim was to liberate China from the hands of the Manchu Dynasty. He had not met with result, but he was not discouraged at all. As a result, he accomplished his end in the long run.
To sum up, his strong will and indomitable spirit are worth our worship and imitation (are worth our worshiping and imitating).
无疑的，中山先生是我一生知道的最大的人物。他建立中华民国，所以我他为我的国父。
他致力革命凡四十年。他的目的是清朝手里解放中国。他曾遭遇屡次的失败，但他却一点也不灰心。那是不需说的。结果，他终于达到目的。总而言之，他坚强的意志和不屈不挠的精神（是）值得我们的崇拜和仿效。 ____________________________________________________
『三最背诵短文（1）－我最喜欢的运动』
My favorite Sports
During my secondary school years I often liked to go to the recreation room to play table tennis. Some of my classmates were very good at this game and I often tried to compete with them to improve my skill. In high school I spent many hours playing outdoor sports. I enjoyed team sports like basketball and volleyball. In my senior year I started to practice tennis. Sometimes I would find a partner to play tennis with me, but as yet I am not very good at this sport. Tennis requires great strength in the arms and legs as well as strong concentration on the game.
我最喜欢的运动
在我读中学的日子里，我常到活动室打乒乓球。我有些同学精于此道，我常与他们对抗以提高自己的技术。读高中时，我把大量的时间用来做户外运动，我喜欢团队的运动项目，比如篮球和排球。临毕业那年，我开始练乒乓球。有时我可以找到一个同伴陪我打，但是我打得不是很好。打乒乓球不仅需要强壮的臂力和腿部力量，还需要集中精力。
『三最背诵短文（2）－遵守交通规则』
Obeying the Traffic Laws
I am often very afraid to cross-large wide streets. I always go to the traffic light and use the crosswalk, but many times I have been frightened. When the light changes to green I still need to look both directions to check the traffic. On many occasions a speeding motorcycle or bicycle or once a truck drove past the red light and across the pedestrian's path. When I have my bicycle, I get off and walk across the street, but always someone crosses the red light. Once at the intersection near the shopping mall I saw an accident: a taxi had stopped for the light, and another truck came from behind and did not stop. For safety, it is very important for everyone to obey the traffic laws.
遵守交通规则
横过大宽马路时，我常会害怕。我总是看着信号灯，走人行横道。仅管这样，我还是被吓着了几次。当信号灯换成绿灯时，我还是要朝两边看一下。很多时候，超速行驶的摩托车或自行车甚至是卡车，都闯红灯穿过人行横道。当我骑车时,我就会下来,推着车子步行过马路, 但总有人闯红灯。一次，在靠近购物广场的那个十字路口，我见到了一起交通事故：一辆出租车停在那儿等红灯，但是它后面的卡车没停。所以，从安全计，每个人都遵守交通规则是很重要的。
『三最背诵短文（3）－冬天』
Winter
Winter is very cold and windy in most parts of China. I usually look forward to the Spring Festival and the winter holiday when I can go to the south where the climate is warmer during these holidays. Also, I look forward to seeing my grandparents and my friends. Winter is the time everyone is in a festive mood. In the city, I usually do a lot of reading at home in the winter because of eh cold weather outside.
冬天
中国大部分地区的冬天是即冷又有风的。我总是盼望着春节或寒假，到时候我就可以去南方了，当地的气候在这时会暖和的多。我也盼望着去探望我的祖父母和我的朋友。冬天，每个人都怀着喜庆的心情。在城里，冬天的时候我经常待在家里尽情地看书，因为外面的天气非常的冷。
『三最背诵短文（4）－秋天』
Autumn
For me the autumn or fall starts in September when school starts its new term. I usually do some shopping. The mild weather made it very nice to study outside under the trees in a small park close to my house. I like to look up the leaves changing colors from green to red and yellow, and then brown colors. The park also has many bright fall flowers; sometimes I see a small squirrel coming down from the tree to hunt for food on the ground. On the weekends, I sometimes like to fly my kite. Usually on the street corners you can see street peddlers selling warm baked sweet potatoes. This is a nice time of the year.
秋天
我觉得秋天是在9月份新学期幵始的时候来临.我常常要去买一些东西.宜人的天气让我感觉在离家不远的小公园的树下学习是件非常惬意的事.我喜欢抬起头看蓍枝头上的树叶由绿变红,变黄,然后再变褐.公园里还有许多鲜艳的秋花.有时我会见到小松鼠从树上跳到地上觅食.在周末,我有时会去放风筝.在街头的拐角处,常常会有街头小贩在卖烤红薯.秋天是一年中的好时节.
『三最背诵短文（5）－夏天』
Summer
Summer is the great season for all sports in the open air. It is the season for football which is often called the national sport because of its popularity. I usually watch television and read the newspaper reports about the football results of the little leagues. During the summer I like to go to the beach often because it is very close to my home. I usually go there during the summer vacation to relax after many months in school in the city. I feel very comfortable with the familiar quiet life of the villagers.
夏天
夏天是户外运动最好的季节.这是一个橄榄球的季节,橄榄球由于广受欢迎被称为全民运动.我常常看电视,看报纸,从报道中获得小联盟橄榄球赛的比赛结果.夏日里,我喜欢经常去海滩,因为那里离我家不远.在城里的学校呆了几个月后,暑假我常常去那里放松一下.此处有我很熟悉的村民们的宁静生活,这让我倍感舒适.
『三最背诵短文（6）－春天』
Spring
Spring is a delightful season. The temperatures are moderate, and the blooming trees and flowers make the city bright with colors. This is the time when we can begin to wear lighter and more brightly colored clothes and go outdoors more often. Smaller children like to bring their kites out to the spacious square. Also I enjoy going back to the village on this holiday after being in the city for the winter months.
春天
春天是个让人欣喜的季节.气温适中,挂满绿叶的树和盛开的花朵给城市增添了明亮的色彩.在这个时节里,我们可以穿上轻便靓丽的衣服经常出门去了.小孩子们则喜欢在广阔的天空中放风筝.在城里呆了一个冬天之后,我也喜欢回到村子里度假.
『三最背诵短文（7）－今日青年』
A Youth and His Country
The youth of today will help to shape the future of his country tomorrow. As a good citizen, he should prepare himself in his everyday life as well as in school for the contribution of his talent to his country. He should have ability or skill to work. He should keep well informed and help to inform others about what his country's problems are. He should try to find out and show what he can do for his country. Also he should be physically strong and mentally sound. As a responsible citizen, with his courage, enthusiasm, and love, he will help to make his country one of which all its citizens can be proud.

今日的青年将肩负他们国家的未来。作为一个好公民，他应该在日常生活中和在学校时一样准备着把自己的聪明才智贡献给国家。他应有一定工作能力和技能，他应该清楚的知道，并且帮助别人了解他们国家的问题所在。他应该知道且显示他能够为他的国家做些什么。同时他应该有强健的体魄和良好的精神状态。作为一个有责任感的公民，他将会用他的勇气、热情和爱心使他的国家成为全民都为之自豪的国度。
『三最背诵短文（8）－我的朋友』
My Friend
John is the most diligent student in our class. He is one of my friends. As a matter of fact, he gets along with his classmates. He might spend just five to ten minutes talking to you once in a long while, but he talks with enthusiasm and energy, and he likes to share his thinking and ideas with you. He is honest; he does not like to waste his time and energy. He never appears sleepy and tired in the classroom. He always hands in homework on time and also does well in his examinations, yet he has time practicing playing football and his violin skill. I admire him. I hope I can be as diligent as he is; John is persistent, attentive, and energetic.
我的朋友
John是我们班上最勤奋的学生。他也是我的一个朋友。实际上，他和班上的同学相处的都很融洽。也许过好长时间他才只是花5分钟或10分钟和你聊天，但是他的谈话充满了活力和热情，而且他喜欢和你分享他的思想和想法。他是诚实的，他不会无谓的浪费他的时间和精力。在教室里，他从没有显得困倦或是疲惫。他常常会按时交作业，考试中也会取得好成绩，然而他仍会有时间踢足球和练小提琴。我羡慕他，我希望自己
能象他那样勤奋。John是个执着、专注、充满活力的人。
『三最背诵短文（9）－长大后你想干什么？』
What do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?
This question and another similar question, "Have you decided what you will do after you finish school?" were among the most common questions people often asked me when I was a small child and then a student in school. Choosing the right career is very important. For this reason we should try to find out what our talents and interests are and how we can use them. There are many careers open to each of us. Many persons find their place in government service, and many others may be interested in going into the business world. Teaching, newspaper works, medicine, engineering, science -- these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.
长大后你想干什么？
这个问题和另一个相似的问题"你决定完成学业之后做什幺了吗？"是我小时候和在学校时人们问得最多的一个问题。选择一个适当的职业是非常重要的。因此，我们必需找出自己的天赋和兴趣所在并且要知道如何加以利用。我们每个人都面临着许多职业选择。一些人在政府机构找到了他们的位置，而另一些人则可能喜欢在商界驰骋。教育、新闻、医药、工程、科学等和其它许多行业给都有才能的人提供了丰富的就业机会。
『三最背诵短文（10）－我的职业生涯』
My Career Plan
During my high school years, I have found chemistry, physics, and mathematics interesting. Actually, I am interested in many subjects such as history, and English. But somehow I cannot remember the historical events or the facts in detail. I cannot remember English words well, either. On the other hand, chemistry, physics, and mathematics are easy for me because they seem logical to me. After considering my interests and talents I feel that science or engineering might be the best choice for my career. I would like to study science or engineering in college. After graduation from college I hop to go for higher education overseas. Eventually I would like to return to school to teach. This is my career plan.
我的职业生涯
在我高中的时代，我发现我对化学、物理和数学很感兴趣。事实上，我觉得其他的学科也很有吸引力，如：历史、英语。但是不知何故我不能详细记住历史事件，也不能很好地记住英语单词。相反，化学、物理和数学却容易些因为它们有逻辑性。鉴于我的兴趣所致我感觉到理科或者工科是我未来职业的最好选择。我更愿意在大学里学理科或工科。大学毕业后我希望到海外去继续深造。最后我将回到学校教书。这就是我的事业规划。
『三最背诵短文（11）－明智的消费』
Intelligent Consumerism
Wise consumers read magazine advertisements and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? Is this product more expensive than it should be because it has a famous name? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice. 明智的消费
聪明的消费者看杂志广告，看电视广告，但他们这么做只有一个目的，就是要了解藏在广告背后的心理状态。换句话说，信息灵通的消费者会留心各种资讯，也会查证各种有误导作用的谣传。他们会问自己：广告商是不是在边角的小字里藏着点什么？广告里是否有真实内容，或者广告商纯粹只提供诱人的画面？是否因为是名牌，产品就卖得更贵？这些答案会帮助消费者做出明智的选择。
