【篇一】五一国际劳动节 The International Worker’s Day
The international workers’day, also known as May day, is celebrated on the first day on May. There are more than eighty countries celebrate this festival since 1889. People may know that the worker’s day is about having a rest on that day, but most of them don’t know how this day comes from and the story behind it.
五一国际劳动节，又称为五一节，在每年的5月1日庆祝。从1889年开始，全球共有超过八十个国家庆祝这一节日。人们可能会认为劳动节就是在5月1日放假，不用上班，但大多数人不知道劳动节是怎么来的以及它背后的故事。
In the late of 18 century, the cruel capitalists in order to make more money, they demanded their employers to work all day, but only paid them with low salaries. In America, the workers had to work at least 14 hours a day, sometimes, they even worked as long as 18 hours. Due to the unfair payment, the works knew that they had to stand up and fight for their rights, or all of them will die young. Then the workers started to go on strike, demanded that the reasonable working hours should be 8 hours a day. However, the capitalists did not pay attention to the workers’demand. The workers had to fight for their rights for themselves. On may 1st, 1886, the United States and Canada’s worker unions got together to start the biggest strike. After that day, the law had passed the rules that the workers’working hours would be 8 hours per day. This strike had made a different. The worker did not need to suffer from the long working hours with low payment.
在18世纪末，残酷的资本家为了创造更多的价值，他们要求工人们整天工作，却给工人支付极少的报酬。在美国，工人们每天至少要工作14个小时，有时候，他们甚至要工作长达18个小时。因为不合理的报酬，工人们深知只有站起来反抗才能获取自己的合法权益，免得他们就会过劳死。工人们开始罢工，要求每天的合理工作时间为八小时。然而，资本家们却不理会工人们的要求。工人们只有继续争取自己的权益。在1886年5月1号，美国和加拿大的工作团体聚集在一起，发起了有史以来的罢工。从那之后，法律通过了每天工作8小时的条例。这次罢工改变了历史。工人们不用再次忍受长时间的工作以及少得可怜的报酬。
The international worker’s day aims to memorize the spirit of brave and show our honor to the former workers. Because they had make great contribution to today’s happiness.
五一劳动节的目的在于纪念劳动者坚强勇敢的精神以及向前辈劳动人民的尊敬。因为他们付出了太多的努力来换取我们今日的幸福。
Happy workers’day !
五一劳动节快乐！
【篇二】关于我国高考英语比例的降低On Lowering the Percentage of English in Chinese College-Entrance Examination
Recently, the news that English will occupy less percentage in Chinese traditional college-entrance examination in the following years has aroused a heated discussion among the public, especially among students.
最近，有消息称我国高考将在近几年内降低英语所占分值，这一消息在广大众们中引起了热烈讨论，尤其是在学生中间。
There are two different views towards the news. On the one hand, those students who consider learning English as a boring and difficult task and those who are not good at learning English sing high praise of it, because the lower percentage of English will narrow their gap with those who can get higher score in English. In other words, the lower of percentage of English makes it more possible for them to reach better colleges or universities. However, on the opposite side, those who do well in learning English will feel disappointed as their advantage will be lowered if the percentage of English is lowered.
对此消息有两种不同的看法。一是，那些认为英语很难学很枯燥或是讨厌学英语的学生对此消息表示很支持, 因为英语分值的降低会缩小他们跟那些擅长英语学习的学生之间的差距。这也意味着他们有更大机会考上好的大学。然而，相反的，如果高考降低英语分值，那些英语成绩好的学生会感到失落，因为他们将会失去优势。
As far as I am concerned, in a long term, the lower percentage of English in college-entrance examination is not good for the overall development of students, it is not good for improving the whole nation’s English, and is not good for communication with foreign countries. In a word, examination is a great motivation for second-language learners, and there is no doubt that the lower percentage of English in Chinese traditional college-entrance examination will bring some further negative impact to students.
在我看来，从长远来看降低高考中英语的比重不利于学生的全面发展，不利于提高本国国民的英语水平，不利于与海外国家的交流。总之，考试对于第二语言的学习者来说是个很好的激励，毫无疑问高考英语比重的降低将对学生产生负面影响。
