今日作文题:

Work and Rest 工作与休息

提示句:

对“工作与休息”的总体看法;
一些学生为了得高分而忽视了休息;
健康是成功的基础。

范文:

Just as a famous saying goes: all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. It is obvious that people should have adequate rest in order to work hard.

正如一句俗语所说,“只工作,不玩耍,聪明的孩子也变傻”。很显然,人们应该充分休息以便于更努力地工作。

Yet some students especially those who are preparing for the college entrance examination are worried about their lessons and spend all their day time going over them. In their eyes they should sacrifice their rest time in order to get high scores on tests. As a result they suffer greatly from poor health and some of them may do poorly in the examinations.

然而许多学生,尤其是那些正在为高考而积极备战的学生,却总是担心自己的功课,从而把全部时间用于复习功课。在他们看来,为了在考试中获得高分,他们应该牺牲休息时间。然而,他们的健康却严重受损,一些人考试时反而做得很糟糕。

In conclusion we should be aware that nothing is more valuable than health which is a foundation of one's success. With a poor health one can hardly succeed in anything he does. Therefore as student we should have enough rest to ensure a healthy body to work and study.

总之,我们应该意识到,没有任何东西比健康更重要,健康是成功的基础。一个人如果身体很差,做任何事都很难成功。因此,作为学生,我们应该有足够的休息以确保身体的强健,从而才能更好地学习和工作。

NOTES

1. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 这是一句很有名的英语谚语。dull boy: 呆笨的男孩。来看句例句:You're not going to study all weekend, are you? Remember, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 你不会把整个周末都用于学习,是不是?要记住,有劳无逸,有害无益。

Jack可以算是英语中的大红人了,有很多关于他的说法,除了刚才这句以外,还有:Jack of all trades and master of none.(万事皆通而一无所长的人),a Jack on both sides(模棱两可,两面派),Jack at a pinch(临时拉来帮忙的人),All shall be well, Jack shall have Jill.(有情人终成着属)……还有很多,我们就不一一列举了。

2. sacrifice n./v. 牺牲
常用搭配:sacrifice sth. for…,例如:A mother will sacrifice her life for her children.(母亲将会舍身救自己的孩子)。另外还可以说at the sacrifice of,例如:He earned money at the sacrifice of his health.(他赚了钱却付出了健康的代价),相当于at the cost of。

3. suffer:感到疼痛、痛苦;承受,遭受。suffer from…:患有(疾病等);遭受……之苦,因……而吃苦。两者的区别在于:suffer指一般的损害、痛苦等等,但suffer from指长期的或习惯性的痛苦或困难。
