翻译综合材料
翻译资料汇编TextⅠ在纽约，这段时候可以常常听到圣诞歌声从街口的什么地方传出来，哪怕是在最脏的七号线车站，许多人在这里换车，黄昏时，这里上楼梯要排队。
车从这里的地铁爬上天桥，颤颤巍巍地从又乱又脏的街区开过去，往下一望，有时会看到一栋破极了的大楼的窗子里，有一些脸色神秘的东方人，穿着日式的大黑衣服，在练拳。
再往下一望，看到一个穿脏花裙子的黑老女人，摇摆着生了痛风病的胖腿，拿着一个大塑料袋，气息奄奄地走过去。
要是心情恍惚的话，会以为自己走到好莱坞的影城里去了，这里正好是在拍犯罪片。
这里也是美国啊，做着美国发财享福梦的人，要在这个站口哭起来。
那一天，近着圣诞节了，我在这里换车。
天气寒冷又潮湿，人们慢慢地向前动着，要上楼去换7号线。
在边上，我看到一只大大的灰老鼠一闪而过。
报纸上说，纽约地铁里的老鼠，有七岁孩子的智慧，也许这是真的，地铁里的老鼠，那一闪而过的黑眼睛里，有一种马上可以说话一般的神情。
然后，我听到有孩子的声音，随着小手风琴，在唱歌，在唱《平安夜》。
他们站在楼梯口，一个老人和一个孩子，孩子一手拿着小红铁筒，一手摇着小铁铃铛，黑色大衣上的小脸，被冷空气激得红红的。
经过他们的人，有的摸出钱来放在孩子的小红铁筒里，那洋铁的小筒，就丁地一响。
那是救世军在募集圣诞捐款。
寒冷的黄昏里，清脆的铃声响着，孩子在唱歌。
( 陈丹燕《圣诞歌声》) Usually at this time of the year, Christmas carols can be heard all over New York. They will waft from any street and lane, even from the dirtiest station of the dirtiest route, Route 7. Many people have to change trains here. When dusk falls, the commuters have to line up to move upstairs.The train is to climb up and onto the overpass and wobble its way through this dirty and messy block. Peering downwards and into the windows of some extremely dilapidated building, passengers may sometimes see some mysterious-looking Orientals dressed in Japanese-style dark suits practicing karate. Looking further downwards, they may see an elderly black woman wearing a dirty flowery skirt, and holding a big black plastic bag. Breathing with much difficulty, she is tottering along on legs swollen with gout. If one happens to be in a dreamy and imaginative mood, he might think he has blundered into Hollywood and happens to be watching the making of a crime film.This is America too! At the sight, some “rags to riches” dreamers might burst into tears.The other day, Christmas fast approaching, I was changing trains here. It was cold and wet. People inched forward, intending to change to Route 7. Suddenly I caught a glimpse of a king- size grayish rat scurrying by. Some newspapers say that the rats in New York have the IQ of a 7-year-old child. This may well be true. Scuttling by, those rats seem to be talking to you all the while with their dark glinting eyes.Then I heard the voice of a child, who was singing “Silent Night”to the accompaniment of a small accordion.They were standing at the foot of the stairs, an elderly man and a little boy. Holding a little red tin can in one hand, the boy was ringing an iron bell with the other. His little face that appeared above his black overcoat was flushed in the cold air. Some passengers produced coins and dropped them with a tinkle into the can.That was part of the effort of the Salvation Army to collect money donations.In the bone-chilling dusk, the bell kept ringing, and the child singing, loud and clear.TextⅡ秋天，无论在什么地方的秋天，总是好的；可是啊，北国的秋，却特别地来得清，来得静，来得悲凉。

有一个坚实的基础知识很重要英语作文
有一个坚实的基础知识很重要英语作文Having a Solid Foundation of Knowledge is Really Important!Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk to you about why having a strong foundation of knowledge is super duper important. It's one of those things that a lot of grown-ups like to say, but it's true!Let me start by explaining what I mean by a "foundation of knowledge." It's kind of like the base or foundation you build a house on. Without a solid foundation, the whole house could crumble or fall apart. Well, your brain is like that house, and your foundation of knowledge is what you build everything else on top of.Your foundation starts getting built from the moment you are born through all the things you learn as a little kid. Things like learning to talk, read, write, and do basic math. You learn about the world around you, how to interact with others, and basic facts about all sorts of subjects.This early learning forms the bedrock, the super solid base, that all your future learning is built upon. It's why kids spend so many years in elementary school - we are constructing that critical foundation bit by bit.Now here's the really important part: If you don't have a strong, broad foundation, it's really hard to learn more advanced things later on. It's like trying to build a giant skyscraper on a crummy old foundation - it just won't work! The whole thing could come crashing down.On the other hand, when you have a bulletproof foundation from years of learning the basics, you can just keep stacking knowledge on top of knowledge. The higher you build, the stabler the whole structure gets. Wild, right?Let me give you some examples of why a solid knowledge foundation is so vital:Reading & Writing: If you struggle with reading and writing skills from an early age, pretty much every other subject becomes wayyyy harder. How can you learn science, history, or math if you can't really understand the books or instructions? Weak reading and writing makes learning anything a zillion times harder.Math Basics: You've got to start with arithmetic, working with numbers, fractions, etc. If you don't have that base, then algebra, geometry, calculus - forget it! It's like trying to run before you can even walk. The higher level math builds directly on what you first learn in elementary school.General Knowledge: Having a broad base of general knowledge about the world, different cultures, how stuff works, and so on makes learning any specific topic much easier. It's the difference between hiking up a mountain from the very bottom versus being dropped off halfway up. Which one would you pick?Here are some other reasons why focus on building that early foundation:• It gives you confidence as a learner from an early age• You discover areas you naturally excel at or are passionate about• M aking connections between ideas comes much more naturally• You're設備成為an independent learner and problem solver over time• Learning becomes more fun and engaging, rather than a chorePretty convincing reasons, right? Hopefully you're starting to see why your teachers, parents, and other adults constantly harp on getting those fundamentals down pat from Day 1. Because they know firsthand how crazy important it is!Let me circle back with an example about my own learning experience so far:When I started elementary school, I'll be honest - I wasn't a great reader at first. I found it kind of boring and avoided it when I could. My parents and teachers really worked with me on phonics, reading simple books, building my vocabulary, and spending time reading together.At first, I kind of resisted because I wanted to just go play video games instead. But after really focusing on it for a couple years, BOOM, it finally clicked! Reading became easy and way more interesting when I could understand everything. I was constructing that crucial reading foundation.Now that I've got reading down, learning things like social studies is 100x easier. When we learn about ancient civilizations, I can truly understand and engage with the material because my reading is solid. I'm not getting hung up on every other word or sentence.The same goes for math - my fundamentals are pretty strong now after lots of practice. So learning more advanced stuff isn't nearly as hard when you can rely on that base of knowledge.Does this make sense? I know examples always help me understand things better.Anyways, I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. Starting from a super young age, we are building the foundation stone by stone. If you half-bake it or skip steps along the way, learning stuff later becomes an uphill battle. Gaps in your foundation cause you tostrugle and open up cracks where knowledge doesn't stick as well.That's why core subjects like reading, writing, math, science, social studies and so on are drilled into our brains for years and years as kids. It can definitely feel repetitive and boring at times. But it's setting us up for huge success and continuous learning for the rest of our lives!So to all you other kids out there - listen up! Pay close attention and work hard on building an uber-solid foundation while you're still in elementary school. It might not seem important or fun now, but trust me, you'll be zoing past everyone else before you know it.A strong foundation for your personal Empire State Building of knowledge lets you just keep building taller and taller. You've got to walk before you can run, right? Let's get that base built upnice and sturdy so we can construct some awesomely tall skyscrapers of knowledge!Who's with me Let's get building!。
