【篇一】校园防火 Campus fire safety
People are alarmed by the succession of campus fires in recent years. In each of these accidents, heavy casualties were reported – houses were burned down, students lost their lives, and properties were damaged. Faced with such a chilling fact, people keep asking, “What on earth results in these repeated tragedies?”
近年来，人们对连续的校园火灾感到震惊。每一个事故中都有严重伤亡报道，房屋被烧毁，学生失去生命，财产受到损失。面对这样一个令人毛骨悚然的事实，人们不禁反问，“究竟是什么导致这些悲剧反复发生？”
A brief survey of them reveals that human factors still prove to be the leading causes. For example, three of these fires were caused by the students’ use of electric water-heaters. As students often leave the heaters unattended, the risks are rather high should the water in the bottle boil dry while no one is around to turn off the power. In other cases, fires were also caused by stoves, candles, cigarette butts, etc.
一项简单的调查揭露，人为因素仍然是主要的原因。比如，其中三起事故都是由于学生使用热得快引起的。由于学生经常让热得快处于无人看守状态，如果瓶中的水烧干却没有人在旁边拔掉电源的话风险是相当高的。其他情况，如火炉，蜡烛，烟头等也会引起火灾。
Since most of these disasters could have been prevented if proper precautions had been taken, students should be better educated on the importance and measures of fire control. The following three reminders are of particular importance for us students: First, learn how to use a fire extinguisher. Second, double-check candles, heaters, stoves and other electric appliances, and make sure there are no open flames before leaving rooms. Lastly, do not smoke in the dorm.
因为如果能够采取适当的预防措施，大部分的这些灾难本可以避免的，所以学生应该更好地被教育控制火灾的重要性以及措施。以下三个警告对我们学生尤其重要：第一，学会如何使用灭火器。第二，仔细检查蜡烛，热水器，炉具及其他电器，并确保在离开房间之前没有明火。最后，不要在寝室内吸烟。
【篇二】广告 Advertisement
Advertisements are forcing their way into people’s lives. People refer to advertisements in their daily lives because they are consumers. The advertisers are usually manufacturers, retailers and salesmen. Their merchandise needs to be advertised to bring it to the attention to the customers. Thus nearly every product is advertised in some way. To a large extent, good advertising leads to success while bad advertising can mean failure.
广告正以它们的方式进入到人们的生活中。人们在日常生活中与广告有关因为他们是消费者。广告商通常是制造商，零售商和批发商。他们的商品需要通过广告以引起消费者的关注。因而机会每种产品都以某种方式被广告。在很大程度上来说，好的广告带来成功，而差的广告意味着失败。
There are many ways to advertise and ‘ads’ come in different forms. Newspapers carry advertisements. Some products are publicized on TV and radio which bring them into notice of a wide audience. Billboards also carry advertising. Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies have been set up to furnish a variety of forms.
有很多方式可以打广告，广告的形式各不相同。报纸可以承载广告。有些产品在电视或者广播中宣传，这样能引起大众的注意。广告牌也可以承载广告。现在广告是一个大产业，并设立了很多机构提供各种形式的广告。
However, advertising is not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls victim to such advertising. Millions of people have bought advertised products and have been dissatisfied with them。
然而，广告并非总是真实的。一种产品通常是被歪曲呈现的。广告商夸大了他想销售的商品的好处。这样一来，他就扭曲了事实。消费者就成为了这类广告的受害者。数百万人们买了广告商品又对它们不满意。

【篇四】跟团旅游还是自己旅游？Joining Package Tours or Traveling on Your Own?
With the improvement of life standards, there are a growing number of people traveling each year, which is a good way to enjoy life. Some people would like to take a package tour, while others would rather travel on their own. I prefer to the latter, because I feel that it’s much more convenient and unconstrained than taking a package tour as I did before.
随着生活水平的提高，每年去旅游的人越来越多，这是享受生活的一种好方式。有的人喜欢跟团旅游，而其他人喜欢自己去。我更喜欢后者，因为我觉得这样更方便，而且比以前我跟团旅游更自由。
First of all, traveling on my own, I can arrange my time and route more optionally. For example, when I get to someplace I desperately like, I can choose to stay longer and don’t have to think about others. Secondly, to save time, the itinerary are relatively tight joining package tour, and tourists can only stay very short time in each attractions. It’s difficult to enjoy every landscape carefully. Moreover, in order to earn rebates, some travel agencies force tourists to consume. In the meantime, traveling on my own is much cheaper and get more fun. Finally, the trip is designed to relax, but many people say that package toures are not to make them really relax, but even more tired.
首先，自己旅游的话我可以更有选择地安排我的时间和路线。比如，当我去到我非常想去的地方的时候，我可以选择待久一点，也不用考虑其他人。其次，为了节省时间，跟团的行程都比较赶，游客在每个景点停留的时间很短，很难仔细欣赏每处风景。另外，为了获得折扣，一些旅行社强制游客进行消费。同时，自己旅行更便宜得到更多乐趣。最后，旅游的目的是为了放松，但是很多人说跟团旅游没有真正使他们放松，反而更累了。
On the whole, I prefer to to travel on my own, which is more convenient, unconstrained and cheaper.
总的来看，我更喜欢自己去旅游，它更方便，更自由，更便宜。
【篇五】财富和幸福 Wealth and Happiness
Everybody wants to get wealth. In today’s material world, making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money, they can but nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood; with money, they can own stately luxury cars. Wealth seems with money. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.
每个人都想获得财富。在今天的物质世界，赚钱或成为有钱人象征着一个人的成功和能力。许多人尽一切努力，不惜付出任何代价来获得更多的财富。有了钱，但他们可以过得更好，住在尼斯附近的大型公寓；有了钱，他们可以有自己的豪华轿车。财富似乎就是有钱。财富似乎可以给生活带来幸福。
In my opinion, people cannot do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will to your own happiness.
在我看来，没有钱人们什么事情都不能做，但钱却不是一切。金钱会给你带来什么取决于你的个人信念和人生目标。如果你是好心帮助别人，特别是穷人，对于你钱是个好东西。有了它，你可以为人民谋福利，为你的国家做更多的事情，也会给你自己带来幸福。
If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word, you should have money spent for more people, only then can money be the source of your happiness.
你永远不会满意或高兴如果你只是为了自己的需求而需要钱。总之，你应该为更多的人花钱，只有这样金钱才是你幸福的源泉。
