Ⅱ 求初中英语阅读文章 （原文+翻译）
1．Learning：A Lifelong Career【学习：一生的事业】
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。
一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
2．heavy shoolwork【课业繁重】
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded alts. High should be allowed more time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a rection of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。
3．Time【时间】
Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change.
Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.
时光一去不复返，这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡，以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为；该是痛改前非的时候了。
现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时，这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。
4．Work and Play【工作与娱乐】
Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a ll boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical ecation class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.
工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来渲泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。
放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉飨宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。
5．My first Job【我的第一份工作】
My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.
I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.
我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业，考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事，倒不如找份差事，尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。
我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时，一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重，所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了！
6．My Favorite Sports【我最喜爱的运动】
Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient. So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis. Table tennis is my favorite game. I play it almost every day.
Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. Table-tennis is very moderate; it is not so rough as football. It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days. Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.
运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动，特别是桌球，桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。
桌球对我们而言，是一项理想的运动，因为它可以使我们全身运动，它可以增强我们的肌肉，扩张我们的肺部，促进血液循环，并且使肌肤产生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。
7.经过一周的相处，我发现您是一个可爱而风趣的女士。上您的课时我总感觉时间飞逝。不过我还是不太习惯。不同于我们初中的学习方式的是，您总是在课堂上说口语。有时，我会发现您说的很难理解由于很快的语速、很多的生词。这使我感觉听课会很困难。对此我有一些建议。我希望您可以在最初的这段时间内，对您所用的生词多作解释。这将对我有很大帮助。谢谢。
希望我们能成为好朋友。我相信，以后听您的课时我们将十分自信与快乐。
I found that you are a lovely and humourous lady after getting along with you for a week. Time flies when I am in your class. However I am not used to your way of teaching. you always speak English in the class, which is different from the way in middle school. Sometimes I found it's difficult to follow you because your fast speed of speach and many new words. Therefore, I have some suggestions. I hope you could explain more about the new words you often use ring this period of time. I think it will be a great help for me. Thanks.
I hope that we can be good friends. I believe that we will be more self-confident and happier in your class.

Ⅲ 关于运动的初中英语作文
Sports Meeting
month we had a sports meeting. Though the weather wasn't very fine that day, the students were all very excited and the whole school was alive.
This time, I was even more excited. Because I went in for the sports meeting and my item was high jump. I didn't want to get any place, I only wanted to enjoy the game because I knew I wasn't good at sports.
When I got to the field with my friend. I was both excited and nervous. When I saw the first height, my heart could hardly heat. How high it was！ It was higher than our desks. I couldn't believe my eyes. This was too high for me to jump over. I wasn't nervous at that timewhile I was a bit afraid. But I had gone there, I must have a try.
Not long after, the game began. The first person was great. He jumped over easily. I was too surprised to say a word. The second was good, too. The third nearly jumped over, but he wasn't bad…
It was my turn. I had a deep breath and then ran towards. In front of the pole, I began to jump. Oh, no！ My right foot hit the pole. “I failed.” I thought. And then, another unlucky thing happened. I didn't stand firm and I tumbled. I hurt my back badly. At that moment I felt my back was broken. It was too painful. It seemed that the people around field all didn't know that, they only laughed at my foolish posture. After a very short rest, I stood up.
I push my pain back and then went out of the field with my red face. My friend hurried to come to me. He asked me if this was terrible. I was too pained with my back to answer his questions. I only shook my head. I was sad. Not only I had hurt my back but also I couldn't go on in the game. I had to see the others jump and wish them to get a good place.
Though I didn't have the whole game. I was still very happy. Because a lot of my classmates tried their best in the game and they got a lot of good places. They were all best in my eyes. I was thankful to them for doing their best for our class.
Ⅳ 初二英语作文我最喜欢的运动并带翻译三段
My
favorite
sport
Of
all
the
sports,
I
like
table-tennis
best.
I
think
it
is
not
only
a
sport
but
also
an
art,
because
it
is
a
game
that
needs
strength
and
skill.
Some
people
think
that
playing
table-tennis
needs
little
strength,
but
I
don＇t
think
so.
In
playing
table-tennis,
we
should
judge
the
direction
of
the
ball,
and
hit
it
back
with
great
strength
so
that
we
can
win
the
game.
At
the
same
time
we
need
to
pick
up
the
ball
which
falls
to
the
ground.
So
after
one
game
you
will
be
very
tired
if
you
have
tried
your
best.
But,
as
a
sport,
I
think
it
more
like
an
art.
In
the
game,
you
can
often
find
the
ball
moving
quickly,
and
each
of
the
players＇
movements
is
very
beautiful.
So
I
like
the
sport
very
much.
Though
I
can＇t
play
it
very
well,
I
still
show
great
interest
in
it.
I
think
playing
table-tennis
can
build
our
bodies,keep
us
healthy
and
train
our

So
I
like
it
very
much.
我最喜欢的
运动
所有的运动,我最喜欢乒乓球。我认为它不仅是一种运动也是
一种艺术
,因为
它是一个游戏
,需要力量和技巧。
一些人认为
打乒乓球
需要一点力气,但我不这么认为。在打乒乓球,我们应该判断球的方向,用
伟大的力量
打回去,这样我们就能
赢得比赛
。同时我们需要接的球落在地上。后一场比赛你会很累如果你有试着你最好的。
但是,作为一项运动,我认为它更像一门艺术。在游戏中,你可以经常发现球
快速移动
,每个球员的姿势非常漂亮。
所以我非常喜欢这项运动。虽然我不能打得很好,但我仍然感兴趣。我认为打乒乓球可以建立
我们的身体
,使我们保持健康和训练我们的大脑。所以我非常喜欢它。

Ⅵ 生命在于运动英语小短文！快，初中水平!快!
Life is movement, different people have different interpretations: the hard-working people that life is hard; brave people that life is surfing; self-reliance of people say that life is competition; hard to say, life is a battle. No matter how understanding, in the journey of life, as long as you hard-working, brave, self-reliance, hard work, you will achieve good results in sports. This is not with suspicion!
生命在于运动，不同的人有不同的理解：勤劳的人说，人生是耕耘；勇敢的人说，人生是冲浪；自强的人说，人生是竞赛；拼搏的人说，人生是战斗。不管怎么理解，在人生的旅途中，只要你勤劳、勇敢、自强、拼搏，你一定会取得运动的好成绩。这是勿用怀疑的！
Ⅶ 初中英语阅读题（请帮忙翻译原文~）
让我试来试看，
当我们把我自们自己和伟大的人比较时，我们会觉得自己普通、不重要。可是，我们要记得这些伟大的人是非凡的人。这世界上有60多亿人，要每个人都非凡是很不可能的，那我们能做什么呢？我们应该尽自己的努力成为最出色的人。
我想这意味着我们需要诚实和努力工作，我们也要虚心好学待人友善，最重要的，我们要有雄心壮志。我需要为自己定下目标并实现它。
居里夫人和爱迪生都是努力工作，友善，有理想的，并且努力拼搏来实现自己的目标。居里夫人将自己的一身给了
"saes human surffering". （这个不确定就不翻译了）爱迪生作为一位发明家消耗了一生。他发明的能显示动作的照相机，后来人们用相机制作现代的电影。
一位爱尔兰的著名作家曾写过：“我们全在贫民区里但我们中的一些人在看着星星”。当我不可能完成某事的时候，我总会想起这句话。这句话提醒我我们总是在一个较低的水平朝着更高的目标奋斗。这话让我努力成为我能成为的优秀的人
