关于人生挫折的英文作文
关于人生挫折的英文作文Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes we face setbacks that make us feel like we're stuck in a rut. It's like hitting a brick wall and not knowing how to break through.When we experience failure, it can be easy to lose hope and give up on our dreams. We may feel like we're not good enough or that we'll never be able to succeed. But it's important to remember that setbacks are just temporary obstacles that we can overcome with determination and perseverance.Dealing with setbacks can be a humbling experience. It forces us to reevaluate our goals and priorities, and to learn from our mistakes. It's a chance for growth and self-improvement, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time.Sometimes, setbacks can be a blessing in disguise. They can push us out of our comfort zone and challenge us tothink outside the box. They can lead us down unexpected paths that ultimately bring us closer to our true purpose.In the face of adversity, it's important to stay positive and keep moving forward. Remember that every successful person has faced setbacks along the way. It's not about how many times you fall down, but how many times you get back up and keep going.So when life throws you a curveball, embrace the challenge and see it as an opportunity for growth. Keep pushing forward, stay resilient, and never lose sight of your goals. Setbacks are just bumps in the road on the journey to success.。

生于尘埃,溺于人海,死于理想高台英文
生于尘埃,溺于人海,死于理想高台英文《Born in Dust, Drowned in the Sea of Humanity, Died on the High Tower of Ideals》Born in DustWe are born into this world, surrounded by the dust and debris of life. We arrive as innocent beings, unaware of the challenges and struggles that lie ahead. We grow, we learn, and we adapt to our surroundings, constantly trying to make sense of the chaos that surrounds us.Drowned in the Sea of HumanityAs we navigate through life, we find ourselves engulfed in the sea of humanity. We are surrounded by countless faces, each with their own story, their own dreams, and their own desires. It is easy to feel lost in the crowd, to feel overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of human existence. We struggle to find our place, to carve out our own identity in a world that is constantly changing and evolving.Died on the High Tower of IdealsAnd then, there are those of us who strive for something greater. We reach for the high tower of ideals, determined to make a difference, to leave our mark on the world. We chase after our dreams, pushing ourselves to the limit in pursuit of something greater than ourselves. But in our pursuit of greatness, we often find ourselves isolated, alone on that high tower, disconnected from the world below.In the end, we realize that our lofty ideals may have been our downfall. We sacrificed so much in the name of our ambitions, only to find that the world we once knew has moved on without us. And as we take our last breath, we are left to wonder if it was all worth it.In the end, we are left with the realization that life is a delicate balance of dust, humanity, and ideals. We are born in dust, surrounded by the chaos of life. We are drowned in the sea of humanity, struggling to find our place in a world of countless faces. And we die on the high tower of ideals, striving for something greater than ourselves, only to find that it may have been our undoing.。

some形容词
some形容词1. Some amazing. You know, life is full of some amazing moments. Just like that time I was traveling in the mountains. I got lost, but then I stumbled upon this hidden waterfall. It was like a piece of heaven on earth. The water was so clear and the sound of it crashing down was like music to my ears. I mean, who doesn't love coming across something so unexpectedly amazing? It's like finding a diamond in the rough.2. Some frustrating. Oh man, some things in life can be so frustrating. Take my neighbor for example. He always parks his car in my driveway. I've asked him nicely, I've even left him notes. It's like talking to a brick wall. It makes me so mad. It's as if he doesn't care about anyone else's convenience. And I'm just sitting there thinking, "Why can't he be more considerate?" Frustrating situations like this can really put a damper on your day.3. Some hilarious. There are some hilarious things that happen all the time. I was at a family gathering once. My uncle told this joke about a chicken and a tractor. I don't even remember the whole joke, but the way he told it, with his big gestures and funnyvoices, had everyone in stitches. It was like a comedy show right there in the living room. You see, humor is everywhere, and when you find those some hilarious moments, it's like a breath of fresh air.4. Some confusing. Sometimes, life throws some confusing stuff at you. I started a new job recently, and the whole system there is like a maze. There are so many rules and procedures that seem to contradict each other. I'm like a lost puppy trying to figure it all out. I keep asking myself, "How am I supposed to make sense of this?" It's as if they speak a different language. And my colleagues, well, they seem to be in on some secret code that I haven't cracked yet.5. Some heartwarming. There are some heartwarming things that can really make your day. I saw an old couple walking hand in hand in the park the other day. They were so cute, just slowly strolling along, smiling at each other. It was like they were in their own little world. It made me think of all the love and memories they must have shared over the years. It's such a beautiful sight, like a warm ray of sunshine on a cold day.6. Some annoying. Ugh, some things are just so annoying. For instance, those telemarketers who call at the most inconvenient times. I could be in the middle of cooking dinner or just about to take a nap, and the phone rings. It's always some sales pitch that I'm not interested in. It's like they have a sixth sense for whenyou're busy. And I'm like, "Leave me alone already!" Annoying things like this can really test your patience.7. Some exciting. Life is full of some exciting opportunities. I got an invitation to go skydiving last year. I was both terrified and excited at the same time. It was like standing on the edge of a great adventure. I thought to myself, "This could be the most amazing experience or the last thing I ever do." But I took the plunge, and it was like flying, free as a bird. It's those some exciting moments that make life worth living.8. Some embarrassing. Oh, there are some embarrassing situations that we all go through. I remember once at school, I tripped and fell right in front of the whole class. I felt like my face was on fire. Everyone was looking at me and some were even trying not to laugh. It was like I was the center of attention for allthe wrong reasons. I just wanted to disappear into thin air. Embarrassing moments like this can be so hard to forget.9. Some relaxing. There are some relaxing things that we should all cherish. I love going to the beach and just lying in the sun. The sound of the waves crashing, the warm sand beneath me, it's like a little slice of paradise. I can just forget about all my worries and soak up the peace. It's as if time stands still. You know, we all need those some relaxing moments to recharge our batteries.10. Some inspiring. There are some inspiring people out there. My friend Lisa is one of them. She started her own business from scratch, with hardly any money or support. But she never gave up. She faced so many challenges, but she kept pushing forward. It's like she has this inner fire that just won't go out. Watching her, I think to myself, "If she can do it, so can I." Inspiring people like her are like beacons of hope in this world.Conclusion: Life is made up of all these "some" experiences - the good, the bad, and the ugly. They shape who we are and how we see the world. Whether it's amazing, frustrating, or any otherkind of "some," they all add color to our lives.。

Emma’s appearance isn’t really appealing (吸引人的). Her eyes look dry and red from looking at a computer screen for hours. She has all the terrible symptoms (症状). Luckily, Emma is only a life-size model from a team of researchers. But if we don’t do something, such as moving more, having the right posture (姿势) or taking regular (常规的) breaks, there’s no doubt (疑问) that our world will be full of Emmas.“Unless we make changes, these bad habits are going to make us very sick,” said William Higham, the lead writer of the study. “So don’t let Emma go to waste. Take her as a warning. Improve your posture at the desk and have short breaks during the day. Otherwise, the world could be full of Emmas in 2040.

Some ads in the magazine were asking for pen pals. One of them caught Nona’s eye. It was from Alice Powers.

Two weeks later—which felt like a lifetime—a reply dropped through the letterbox. “I was overjoyed, ” Nona said. “There was a letter and a picture of my new friend. She was on the other side of the world!”Nona and Alice wanted to learn more about each other. They kept writing. The two found that they had a lot in common （共同点）. They liked the same books and the same films.However, both Nona and Alice were too poor to afford a plane ticket. They didn’t meet until 1987. “I was excited to see the person I had been writing to for over forty years.” Nona said.Now in their eighties, Nona and Alice are still writing to each other.

If so, you might have winter depression. It’s also known to doctors as seasonal affective disorder (SAD).SAD usually starts in auturmn or winter and ends in spring or early summer. As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, you feel more tired, sleepy and even hopeless at times.However, we still don’t know the exact cause (原因) of SAD．Some scientists think that hormone (激素) changes can cause this kind of depression, Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) News reported.

This causes the brain to make more melatonin (褪黑素).This hormone makes you feel sleep and less excited.Getting more sunlight is the best way to deal with SAD．Doctors say people should spend at least some time outside every day during the winter. “Light therapy (疗法)”, or using special lamps at home to simulate (模仿) natural light, can also help. But if you still feeldeeply depressed, you should go to a doctor.36．What does the underlined word “down” mean in Paragraph 1?A．Worried.B．Excited.C．Happy.D．Unhappy. 37．We have the following feelings during the winter EXCEPT ________.A．tired B．sleepy C．excited D．hopeless 38．How many ways can we take to deal with SAD by ourselves?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Five. 39．What CANNOT we learn from this passage?A．SAD usually starts in auturmn or winter and ends in spring or early summer.B．We know the exact cause of SAD．C．Getting more sunlight is the best way to deal with SAD．D．During the winter, sometimes we feel more tired, sleepy and even hopeless. 40．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．What is SAD?B．The best way to deal with SAD．C．When does SAD happen?D．Hormone changes can cause SAD．四、补全对话7选5根据对话内容，从文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。
放弃目标 英文作文
放弃目标英文作文I gave up on my goal. It was just too hard to achieve, and I felt like I was banging my head against a brick wall.I had put in so much effort, but it just wasn't paying off.I had to admit defeat and move on to something else.It was a tough decision to make, but I knew it was the right one. I had to be realistic about my abilities and limitations. Sometimes, you have to know when to cut your losses and focus on something more attainable.I felt a sense of relief after giving up on my goal. I no longer had to carry the weight of it on my shoulders. I could breathe easier and redirect my energy towards something that would bring me more satisfaction and joy.Giving up on my goal didn't mean I was a failure. It just meant that I had the courage to reassess my priorities and make a difficult choice. It takes strength to let go of something that isn't working and start fresh.I learned a valuable lesson from giving up on my goal. It taught me resilience and the importance of adapting to change. Sometimes, life throws curveballs at us, and we have to be flexible in our approach to achieving success.。

心灵鸡汤五十篇(中英文)
心灵鸡汤五十篇———年轻人要读的50篇文章2008年1月1.Life Struggle----生命的拼搏对强者而言，磨难犹如刀剑，使他愈见锋芒，诚如孟子所言：“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨……”不经过磨难的生活，日子未免过得乏味；不经过磨难的命运，人生便显得苍白。
就生命而言，总是从平坦中获得的效益少，从磨难中获得的教益深。
Once upon a time in a land far far away, there was a wonderful old man who loved everything. Animals, spiders, insects...One day while walking through the woods the nice old man found a cocoon of a butterfly. He took it home.A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.The butterfly then emerged easily.But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to fly.What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.And we could never fly.从前，在一个非常非常遥远的国度，有一位心地善良的老人。

A young and succe ssful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street，going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.
一位年轻的总裁，以有点快的车速，开着他的新Jaguar经过住宅区的巷道。
他必须小心游戏中的孩子突然跑到路中央，所以当他觉得小孩子快跑出来时，就要减慢车速。
As his car passed，one child appeared，and a brick smashed into the Jag's side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown.
就在他的车经过一群小朋友的时候，一个小朋友丢了一块砖头打到了他的车门，他很生气的踩了煞车并后退到砖头丢出来的地方。
He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car，shouting，"What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?"Building up a head of
steam，he went on"That's a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
他跳出车外，抓了那个小孩，把他顶在车门上说：“你为什么这样做，你知道你刚刚做了什么吗？” 接着又吼道：“你知不知道你要赔多少钱来修理这台新车，你到底为什么要这样做？”
“Please，mister，please，I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!”pleaded the youngster." It's my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.
小孩子求着说：“先生，对不起，我不知道我还能怎么办？”他接着说：“因为我哥哥从轮椅上掉下来，我没办法把他抬回去。
”
Sobbing，the boy asked the executive，"Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
那男孩啜泣着说：“你可以帮我把他抬回去吗？他受伤了，而且他太重了我抱不动。
”
Moved beyond words，the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts，checking to see that everything was going to be okay.
这些话让这位年轻的总裁深受感动，他抱起男孩受伤的哥哥，帮他坐回轮椅上。
并拿出手帕擦拭他哥哥的伤口，以确定他哥哥没有什么大问题。
"Thank you，sir. And God ble ss you，" the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home.
那个小男孩感激地说：“谢谢你，先生，上帝保佑你。
” 然后他看着男孩推着他哥哥回去。
It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar... a long，slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fa st that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.
年轻总裁返回Jaguar的路变的很漫长，他也没有修他汽车的侧门。
他保留着车上的凹痕就是提醒自己。
生活的道路不要走的太匆忙，否则需要其他人敲打自己来注意生活的真谛。
Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes,when you don't have the time to listen,it's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick!
当生命想与你的心灵窃窃私语时，若你没有时间，你有两种选择：倾听你心灵的声音或让砖头来砸你！
Do you sometime s ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy leaving them to wonder whether you really love them?
请问你是否曾因为生活太快、太忙碌而忽略了你所爱的人，然后让他们开始开始怀疑起你是不是真的爱他们呢？。
