Enjoy Yourself While Fulfilling Responsibility。
In my 18 years of life, there have been many things.University days are the best part of them.I can never forget the days when I stepped into my university.I was impreed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere.I at once fell in love with it.
After the arduous military training, I get absolutely absorbed in my studies.The claes given by the teachers are excellent.They provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well.They easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as I can.
Frankly speaking, at first I had some difficulty following the teachers.However, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers' guidance, I made remarkable progre.Now I've benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports.
Learning is a long proce; I'll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself.This summer I got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world.A publishing house offered me a part-time job in compilation and revision.
At the beginning I was belittled by my colleagues.But they were really surprised when I translated seven English articles over 5,000 words on only one day.Gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes.In their opinion I turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.I also realize that only those who bring happine for others can be truly happy.So I often take part in activities concerning public welfare.I once went to a barren mountain village with my clamates.We taught the kids there who could not afford school.While showing them how broadand how civilized the outer world is, I was deeply touched by their eagerne to learn, their honesty and their purity.I couldn't control my tears on the day when we left.The precious
experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.
Besides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well.I do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic.We also write a play and put it on in our spare time.Campus life is the most splendid time.But different people have different choices.The majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they'll become outstanding.But there are indeed some students still under ignorance.They gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards.They're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend.They forget completely about their miion as college students and the hope of their motherland.
Finally, I do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country.I do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society! 译文:享受生活、牢记使命
在我这18年的生命中，有着许多美好的经历，而大学生活则是其中最难忘的一段。我永远不会忘记刚刚跨进大学校园的那几天:花园一样的校园，热情活跃的学生，特别是那里的学习气氛，给我留下了深刻的印象。经过了一段艰辛的军事训练后，我完全融入到了学习中。老师的讲课真是棒极了。他们传授给我们的不仅是课本上的知识，还包括其他各种各样的信息。我渴望获得尽可能多的知识，是老师激发起了我这个不能满足的欲望。
坦率地说，一开始我还不能跟上老师的讲课。但是，通过我自己的努力以及老师的指导，我取得了巨大的进步。我从老师的授课和其他许多学术报告中获益匪浅。
学习是个循序渐进、长期的过程，我会在知识的宝库中不断探索，丰富自我。今年暑假，我跨出象牙塔，进入并接触到了真正的社会。一个出版社给了我编辑和校对的兼职工作。
工作初期，同事们都礁不起我。但是，当我在一天之内翻译完7篇(总字数超过5000字)的英语文章后，他们真的是
大吃一惊。渐渐地，他们开始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他们认为，我变成了一个有用并值得信赖的好同事。我也同样意识到，只有那些为别人带来幸福的人才能真正的幸福。因而，我经常参加有关公众福利享业的活动。有一次，我和同学去了一个贫痔的山区村庄。在那里，我们教那些没钱上学的孩子。我向他们展示了一幅宽广、文明的外部世界的画面，但同时我也被那些孩子学习的渴望、他们的真诚和纯洁深深打动了。在我们离开的那一天，我那不争气的眼泪禁不住流了下来。这次珍贵的经历让我们这些未来的教师意识到了自己肩上的责任重大。
除了学习和社会实践，我还经常参加娱乐活动。我每天都锻炼身体，希望保持健康和充满活力。我们还在业余时间写剧本并排练演出。
园生活是最丰富多彩的。但是，不同的人有着不同的选择。大多数的学生珍惜他们的美好时光，并殷切希望将来能出类拔萃。可是，的确有学生无动于衷。他们聚在一起吃喝玩乐;他们忙于追求异性朋友;他们完全忘记了自己作为大学生的使命和祖国对他们的厚望。
最后，我希望每个人都能尽最大努力成为国家的有用人才。我也希望每个人都能成为我们民族的脊梁，为社会做出巨大的贡献!
My Definition of Succe
“Once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming
rose.To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the prince,the old king aigned three tasks to be accomplished,each next to impoible.One day,into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." Well, you know the rest.The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the prince's hand triumphantly.
And the ending is always the same,finishing with the line "And they live happily every after." Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful,so unrealistic, and, I would say, so
unimaginative?How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical succe story.It is highly philosophical and symbolic.By implication, we see a 4-step definition of succe: 1 ) a goal to be set.as represented by the beautiful prince; 2 ) challengesto be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the proce of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of succe, as represented by the happy marriage.
The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for succe,but also emphasizes the inseparability of the proce and the result.The reward of succe will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous,and vice versa.If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a succeful person even in material terms,because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence.The term "succe",to be sure.will not sit still for easy definition.But as I understand it, the true meaning of succe entails a combination of both the proce and the satisfactory result of an endeavor.To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
If we changed the rules of football,greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or
any other goal keeper,so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings.If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all,because the meaning of winning would have disappeared.In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, succe acquires its value.The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of succe is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative.Something you do effortlely might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person.In
acquiring the ability to do the same as you can,he or she achieve succe.That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because,though confined to a wheel chair,he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
I myself,a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright,had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this.I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties.Now here I am.If I come out first, it will be a great succe for me.If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true succe,because part of my goal is my own character
training-to do more aertive,to be brave in face of difficulties.For me,it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final succe in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of succe.You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth,position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the proce of overcoming difficulties.The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of succe, and this is my definition, too.
Thank you.
译文:成功之我见
“很久以前，有个国王，他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战，而每一项任务都异常艰巨，几乎不可能完成。一天，来了一位年轻英俊的王子……”好了，下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同，但关键部分的情节都如出一辙:王子成功地过关，得到了公主的芳心。而故事的结局也都一样，最后一句都写道:“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想，因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强，具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示，我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一，目标的设定，有如故事里美丽的公主;第二，所遇到的困难和挑战，就像三大任务;第三，克服困难的过程，故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四，就是成功的果实，如同幸福的婚姻。
这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往，也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。如果通往成功的道路崎岖曲折，那么成功的回报必然硕果累累，反之亦然。如果一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足，那么，即使在物质上，他也不能算是个成功人士，因为，他的财富并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。确切地说，“成功”这个词，不是个静态简单的定义。在我的理解中，真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。
如果我们试着改变足球的比赛规则，将球门放得很大，换下大卫·希曼或其他任何的守门员，这样，随便哪个“大卫”，比如说，“大卫·贝克汉姆”，就可以轻松进球，然而这样进一球却不能给他带来成功的震颤与喜悦。如果我们再改一改比赛规则，不让阿森纳队的防守来守门，那么，贝克汉姆只要动动手，其实就是抬抬脚就能进一球，那样的话、，实际上也没有什么比赛可言了，因为赢球的意义已经不存在了。在接受挑战、克服困难和经历磨难的过程中，“成功”的价值才得以丰满。取得成果的意义和所克服的艰难的程度成正比。所谓成功的概念不是一成不变的.而昙相对而言的,因为困难的性质也是相对意义上的。
正常人不费力气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说也许相当困难。获得了同正常人一样的能力，这个残疾人就获得了成功。这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的原因—虽然行动不便，受到了轮椅的限制，他依然为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。
就我自己而言，生性羞涩，容易怯场，不得不鼓起非常大的勇气来参加此次的演讲比赛。我完全可以待在一边，不参加大学级别的比赛，而落得轻松自在。可是，我还是选择了接受这一挑战来面对困难。现在我来了，如果我能够得第一的话.这对我来说就是巨大的成功。如果，我是最后一名—我希望情况不是这样—但如果我真的是最后一名，我也不会认为这次的尝试是一次失败，反而我要把它当作一次真正的成功来庆贺，因为我一部分的目标是对自己性格的锻炼—更加坚强、勇敢地面对困难。对我来说，这标志着我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前迈进了一步，尽管是很小的一步，但是我确实通过参与真正地获得了收益。
回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对“成功”的四步骤定义上吧，您也许已经注意到了财富、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及，相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。古代的智慧已经对成功的意义下了定义，这也是我的定义。
谢谢!
