About Sea 关于大海
I live in a small village. I have never seen sea. But I see it many times in the TV. It is very beautiful. In my hometown, the water in the river is a little yellow and the river is small. But the sea is different. In the TV, I can’t see the end of the sea and its water is blue. It is amazing. It is said that is voice and wind of the sea are also very comfortable. My ten years birthday wish is to have a look at sea.
我住在一个小村庄。我从没看过海。但我在电视上看到过很多次。很漂亮。在我家乡，河里的水是有点点黄的。但是大海却是不一样的。在电视上，我看不到海的尽头而且水是蓝色的。真的很神奇。听说大海的声音和海风也是很舒服的。我十岁生日的愿望就是去看海。
The Sea 大海
What do you know about the sea? Some people know about it, but others don't. The sea looks beautiful on a fine sunny day, but when there's a strong wind, it's very rough. What else do you know about it?
Of course, the sea is very big. In the world, there is more sea than land. Do you know Hainan Island? It's really very nice. We can see beaches, trees and the sea. We can swim and visit a lot of beautiful places.
When you swim in the sea, you feel that the water is salty.
At last, I tell you about the Dead Sea. Fish can't live in it, because it's dangerous. This sea is too salty.
The sea is nice, but sometimes it's not good.
你是怎么知道大海？有些人不了解它，但其他人没有。美丽的大海看起来是在一个阳光明媚的一天，但是当有一个强烈的风，它很粗糙。知道你还做了什么？
当然，海是非常大的。在这个世界上，有更多的海洋资源。你知道海南岛吗？这真的很漂亮。我们可以看到海滩，树和海。我们可以游泳和参观很多美好的地方。
当你在海中游泳，你觉得这水是咸的。
最后，我告诉你一些关于死海。鱼不能生活在它，因为它是危险的。海水是咸的。
海是漂亮的，但有时是不好的。
WEALTH AND HAPPINESS 富裕 和 幸福
There is no same opinion among people as to the view of wealth. Some people may think that wealth is the most important and powerful thing in life, while some other people believe that there are many things that cannot be bought with wealth.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. There’s an old proverb, “Money can cure hunger, but it can’t cure happiness” which simply means wealth can buy us some material things but cannot make us happy and free from sadness or worries.
在人们看来，财富的观点是不一样的。有些人可能认为财富是人生中最重要和最重要的东西，而另一些人则认为，有很多东西是无法用财富来购买的，而就我而言，我同意后者的观点。有一句古老的谚语：“钱能治好，但不能治好幸福”，简单地说，财富能给我们买点东西，却不能使我们快乐，不让悲伤和烦恼。
In fact, happiness, true love, friendship, time, health and so on are the most valuable things in the world and can never ever be bought with money. Those who just try their best to make money can’t realize the true meaning of life and will be the slaves for money. They can’t enjoy happiness, for they have lost everything, time, relatives, love except money. Then, what can money do? No one will share the happy moment with them.So, I think, money is not at all powerful while happiness is more important. If we always have happiness, we’ll never give up the belief to life.
事实上，幸福，真正的爱情，友谊，时间，健康等等都是世界上最有价值的东西，永远不会被金钱买来。那些尽自己最大努力赚钱的人，无法实现人生的真正意义，并将成为金钱的奴隶。他们不能享受幸福，因为他们失去了一切，时间，亲人，爱除了金钱。那么，钱怎么办？没有人会和他们一起分享快乐的时刻，所以，我认为，金钱不是万能的`，而幸福更重要。如果我们永远拥有幸福，我们就永远不会放弃对生活的信念。
On-line Shopping Carnival 网络购物狂欢节
When it comes to November 11, what’s on your mind? Well, as to the old generations, it’s only an ordinary day; however,the young generations will consider it as the Singles’ Day as well as the on-line shopping carnival. In fact, on November 11th, 2013, Tmall and Taobao(the biggest Chinese online shopping platform) has sold out more than 35 billion Yuan goods, this data has astonished the media at home and abroad.Apparently, people have more interests on cyber shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home media even suggest that November 11thshould be the Chinese on-line shopping carnival.
当人们提到11月11日，你想到了什么？对于老一辈的人来说，这一天和平常一样；然而，对于年轻人来说，这天不仅仅是“光棍节”，也是网络购物狂欢节。事实上，在今年的双11，天猫和淘宝（中国最大的网络购物平台）卖出了价值高达350多亿元的商品，这一数据惊呆了国内外的媒体。显而易见，大家对网络购物的热情超出了与单身好友共度“光棍”节的兴趣。有些国内的媒体甚至建议每年的11月11日应该是中国的网络购物狂欢节。
In 2010, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall andTaobao, had coined the term “Double Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their own festival. Instead of datinglovers, people go on-line shopping to relive the loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the main force of the China’s spending power. The debut was a great success. Then “11.11” has an unusual meaning, which stands for on-line shopping carnival.
在2010年，天猫和淘宝的首席执行官马云，创造出了一个新词：“双11”，目的是为了鼓励单身朋友去做些与众不同的事情，以此庆祝他们自己的节日。没有情人约会，那就上网购物减轻自己的孤独感吧。调查显示:去年中国的网民有五亿六千四百万人，其中有一亿八千万的单身汉。而这些单身汉正好是网络购物的主力军。于是，“双11”被赋予了不同的意义，那就是网络购物狂欢节。
Comparing with the traditional shopping,the cyber shopping has more distinguish features, which quite fit the young generations’ taste. People do not need to go outside, just click their mouse, the goods will be home. The best part is you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is acredit card. What we can predict in the future is that on-line shopping is not going to fade away, instead, it will boost like the mushrooms after springrains.
和传统的购物相比，网络购物有着更为明显的特点，这更符合年轻人的口味。人们不需要外出，只需点击一下鼠标，商品就会送到家。最棒的是你可以在任何时间任何地点进行购物。你只需一张信用卡。我们可以预测到在将来，网购不会淡出我们的生活，它就像雨后春笋，不断增长。
