The Apple Tree
抗战胜利70周年纪念章-少年闰土读后感
The Apple Tree
A long time ago,
there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to
come and lay
around it everyday. He climbed to
the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the
shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved
to play with him. Time went by... the
little
boy had grown up and he no longer played around
the tree everyday.
One day, the boy came back
to the tree and he looked sad.
me,
The boy
replied,
money...but you can pick all my apples
and sell them. So, you will have money.
boy was
so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree
and left happily. The boy
never came back
after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was
so excited.
the tree said.

Can you help me?

house.

happy but the boy never came back since then.
The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree
was delighted.

years.

This is a
story of everyone. The tree is our parents. When
we were young, we loved
to play with Mom and
Dad... When we grew up, we left them, and only
came to them
when we need something or when we
are in trouble. No matter what, parents will
always be there and give everything they could
to make you happy. You may think that
the boy
is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are
treating our parents.

Though there is much to be concerned about,
there is far, far more for which to be
thankful.
Though life's goodness can at
times be overshadowed, it is nev
er outweighed.
尽管有很多事让人忧虑，但相比而言，值得感激的事要多得多。
尽管生命的美好有时被蒙上阴影，但它却永远不会被埋没。
For every
single act that is senselessly destructive,
there are thousands more small, quiet acts of
love, kindness an
d compassion.
For
every person who seeks to hurt, there are
many,many more
who devote their lives to
helping and to healing.
There is goodness
to life that cannot be denied.
相对于每一个无谓的破坏行为而言，
都有更多数以千计更为微小的，包含着爱，友善和同情的举动静静地上演着。
相对于
每一个试图伤害他人的人而言，都有更多的人致力于帮助他人，治愈他
人的创伤。
生命的美好不能否认。
In the most magnificent
vistas and in the smallest details,
look
closely, for that goodness always comes shining
through.
在最为壮观的前景和最为琐碎的细节中，
请仔细观察，因为美好的事物总是散发着耀眼的光芒闪亮登场。

Bill Gates’ 9Rules Young People Should
Learn But Don't
RULE 1 Life is not fair, get
used to it.
1．生活是不公平的，你要去适应它。
RULE
2 The world won't care about your self-esteem.
The world will expect you to
accomplish
something before you feel good about yourself.
这个世界并不会在意你的自尊，
而是要求你在自我感觉良好之前先有所成就
RULE 3 If you think your teacher is tough,
wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have
tenure.
如果
你认为学校里的老师过于严厉，那么等你有了老板再回头想一想。
RULE 4
If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so
don't whine about your mistakes, learn
from
them.
如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的过错，不要将你理应承担的责任转嫁给他人，而要学着从
中吸取教训。
RULE 5 Before you were born, your parents
weren't as boring as they are now. They got that
way
from paying your bills; cleaning your
clothes, and listening to you talk about how cool
you are. So,
before you save the rain forest
from the parasites of your parents' generation,
try
closet in your own room.
在你出生之前，你的父母并不
像现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为
这些年来一直在为你付账单、给你洗衣服。所以，在对父
母喋喋不休之前，还是先去打扫一下你自己的屋
子吧。
RULE 6 Your
school may have done away with winners and losers,
but life has not. In some
schools, they have
abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many
times as you want to get the
right answer.
This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to
anything in real life.
你所在的学校也许
已经不再分优等生和劣等
生，但生活却并不如此。在某些学校已经没有了“不及格”的概念，学校会不断地
给你机会让你进步，然
而现实生活完全不是这样。
RULE 7 Life is not divided into
semesters. You don't get summers off and very few
employers are
interested in helping you find
yourself. Do that on your own time.
走出学校后的生活不像
在学校一
样有学期之分，也没有暑假之说。没有几位老板乐于帮你发现自我，你必须依靠自己去完成。
RULE 8 Television is NOT real life. In real
life people actually ha
ve to leave the coffee
shop and go to jobs.
电视中的许多场景决不是真实的生活。
在现实生
活中，人们必须埋头做自己的工作，而非像电视里演的那样天天泡在咖啡馆里。
RULE 9 Be
nice to nerds, chances are you'll end up working
for one.
善
待你所厌恶的人，因为说不定哪一天你就会为这样的一个人工作
。

If you falling in love with herhim
when you was young.
So please, please you
certainly get well with herhim gently.
No

Then, all the moment will become pure
beauty.
在年轻的时候，如果你爱上了一个人，
请你，请你一定要温柔地对待他
不管你们相爱的时间有多长或多短，
若你们能始终温柔地相待，
那么，所有的时刻都将是一种无瑕的美丽。
You should good to say

And,greatfull in your heart,
greatfull she he leaved any beautfull times
for you.
So understanding when you grow up.
Have no regrets at loving with herhim,
because have no hatefull youth when you looked
back in a flash.
Such as bright a full moon on
the mountain.
若不得不分离，也要好好地说声再见，
也要在心里存着感谢，感谢他给了你一份记忆。
长大了以后，你才会知道，
在蓦然回首的刹那，没有怨恨的青春才会了无遗憾，
如山冈上那轮静静的满月。

morning I wake up and say to myself , you have two
choic
es today.
You can choose to be in a
good mood or you can choose to be i

time something bad happens, I can choose to be a
victim o
r choose to learn from it.

choose to learn from it.
Every time someone
comes to me complaining I can choose to a
ccept
their complaining or I can point out the positive
side of life.
I choose the positive side of
life.
“每天早晨醒来时我对自己说，今天你有两种选择。
你可以选择心情愉快，你也可以选择心情恶劣。
我选择心情愉快。
每次什么不愉快的事情发生时，我可以选择成为一个牺牲品，也可以选择从中吸取教训。
我选择从中吸取教训。
每次有什么人找我来抱怨，我可以选择接受他们的抱怨，也可以选择向他指出生活的积极
面。
我选择指出生活的积极一面
Always will I bathe my days
in the sea of enthusiasm
我将永远沐浴在热情的海洋里
1．Every memorable act in the history of the
world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing
great was ever achieved without it.
7
历史上任何伟大的成就都可以称为是热情的胜利。没有热情，不可能成就任何伟业.
2．Without enthusiasm I am doomed to a life of
mediocrity ,but with it I can accom
plish
miracles.
没有热情，我注定要在平庸中度过一生；而有了热情，我将创造奇迹.
3．Some of us are enthusiastic at times and few
even retain their eagerness for a
day or week.
All that is good but I must and I will form the
habit of sustaining my
enthusiasm
indefinitely, honestly, and sincerely so that the
success I enjoy today
can be repeated tomorrow
and next week and next month.
一些人时不时有点热情，少数人能
够保持一天或一周的热情。这些都很好，但我必须也必
将养成这样的习惯：永远地、诚恳地、真诚地保持
我的热情。
这样我今天所享有的成功便能够在明天、下周乃至个月不断重复。
4．We
first must make our habits and then, good or bad,
they make us. Enthusias
m, the love for
whatever it is I am doing at the moment, works in
marvelous ways
I need not ever attempt to
understand but I do know that it will give
additional vit
ality to my muscles and my mind.
首先我们必须养成自己良好的习惯，然后，无论习惯是好是坏，这些习惯塑造我们。热情，
也就
是我对自己现在正在做的任何事情的热爱，起着不可思议的作用，我并不需要努力去
弄懂它，但我的确知
道，它将给我的身体肌肉和头脑带来额外的活力.

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of
is not a matter
of rosy cheeks, red lips and
supple is a matter of the will,
a quality of
the imagination, vigor of the emotions; It is the
freshness
of the deep spring of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of
courage over timidity,
of the appetite for
adventure over the love of ease. This often exits
in a man of 60, more than a boy of grows
merely by the number
of years; we grow old by
deserting our ideas.
Years may wrinkle the
skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the
soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the
heart and turns the spirit back
to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's
heart the lure of
wonders,
9
the unfailing childlike appetite of
what's next and the joy of the game
of living.
In the center of your heart and my heart there
is a wireless station;
so long as it receives
messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power
from men and from infinite, so long as you are
young.
When the aerials are down, and your
spirit is covered with the snows
of cynicism
and the ice of pessimism, then you've grown old,
even at 20,
but as long as your aerials are
up,to catch waves of optimism, there's
hope
you may die young at 80.
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面，
丹唇，柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢
宏的想象，炽热的感情；青春是生命的源泉在不息的涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯懦，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，弱冠后生有之，
耳顺之年，则亦多见，年岁有
加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤，热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。忧烦
，惶恐，丧失
自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届古稀，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有
生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童
般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆深植一片追求，只要你从天上，人间追求美
好，
希望，欢乐，勇气和力量，你就青春永驻，风华长存。
一旦追求消失，锐气如同冰雪
覆盖，玩世不恭，自暴自弃油然而生，即使
年方二十，实已老矣。然坚持追求，你就有望在百岁高龄告别
尘寰时仍觉年青。
Don't Quit!
When
things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When
the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest
if you must, but don't you quit.
10
When….
Success is failure turned
inside out,
The silver tint in the clouds of
doubt.
And you never can tell how close you
are.
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you are hardest
hit.
It's when things go wrong that you
mustn't quit.
不要放弃！
当事情常常不如人意时，
当你跋涉前行的道路似乎总是上坎爬坡时，
当资金短缺而债台高筑时，
当你想笑但不得不叹息时，
当烦恼让你有些不堪重负时，
有必要的话，休息一下，但不要放弃。
成功就在失败的背面，
成功是疑云中透出一线银光。
你永远不能确定距离成功有多么近。
它可能近在咫尺，看上去却远在天边。
所以，当你遭遇最猛烈的打击时要坚持战斗。
就是在遇到困难的时候最不能放弃。
