寫作指導
這是一篇描寫文(Description)。用通俗的話說,描寫文就是用文字給人物、地點、景物畫象。一篇描寫文主要是通過所感受的細節——所見所聞發展而來的。在寫人時,不僅僅要用細節描寫其外貌,而要注重通過他的言行來表現其人物性格、思想和品德,更要抓住他區別于他人的性格特點,這樣就容易給讀者留下深刻的印象。短文的第一、二段敘述故事發生的時間、地點,故事發生的原因及故事所涉及的人物。文章的三、四、五段描寫的是人物的外貌,穿著及性格特點。通過對人物言行的簡單描寫來揭示主人翁的助人為樂的高尚精神。短文的最后一段,要用一句話概括作者對主人翁的看法:Agoodguy。文章有描述,有議論,要加敘加議,有血有肉,上下文連貫要緊密,首尾要呼應,人和事要給人們留下深刻印象。
Sample Writing
The First Impression of My Roommate
It was my first day at the institute. I got into the building where I was going to live, and looked door after door for my name. At last I found it. In the room, there was already a student making his bed. After we said “how do you do?” to each other, he continued his work, paying no more attention to me. I looked around the room and found that it had been thoroughly cleaned. No doubt it was he who had done it.I looked at him. He was thin, short and dark. His hair was like a bundle of straw. His dirty clothes and tired look told me that he had had a long journey. His clothes were made of cheap cloth, and he wore a pair of rubber shoes, which were very unfashionable. He was not a very smart freshmen at all.
The second time he spoke, his accent told me that he was from the south. “Shall I help you to get your luggage from the office?”
I did not refuse since I really needed help. He was quick in movement. He walked out of the room and was soon far ahead of me to the office.
“A good guy,”I said to myself.“I will make friends with him ”,and I hurried and caught up with him.

翻譯訓練:地域特色文明
文明是多彩的,人類文明因多樣才有交流互鑒的價值。文明是平等的,人類文明因平等才有交流互鑒的前提。文明是包容的,人類文明因包容才有交流互鑒的動力。
當今世界,人類生活在不同文化、種族、膚色、宗教和不同社會制度所組成的世界里,各國人民形成了你中有我、我中有你的命運共同體。應該推動不同文明相互尊重、和諧共處,讓文明交流互鑒成為增進各國人民友誼的橋梁、推動人類社會進步的動力、維護世界和平的紐帶。應該從不同文明中尋求智慧、汲取營養,為人們提供精神支撐和心靈慰藉,攜手解決人類共同面臨的各種挑戰。

幾千年的中國文化充實著中國夢,同時,過去三十幾年的改革開放也激勵著中國夢。中國夢最顯著的特征是包容性和雙贏合作。這些也是使中國夢擴大它的全球影響范圍和被其他國家的人民認可的基本特征。中國夢是民族復興的夢。它是建設一個強大繁榮的國家,給中國人民帶來幸福生活的夢。中國夢需要維持穩定健康的經濟發展,科學管理社會,以及有效應對外部發展的風險和挑戰。
