  一封英文书信篇一

Dear World:

亲爱的世界:

My son starts school today.

我的儿子今天就要开始上学读书了。

It's going to be strange and new to him for a while, and I wish you would sort of treat him gently.

一时之间,他会感觉陌生而又新鲜。我希望你能待他温柔一些。

You see, up to now, he's been king of the roost.

你明白,到现在为止,他一直是家中的小皇帝。

He's been boss of the backyard.

一直是后院的王者。

I have always been around to repair his wounds, and to soothe his feelings.

我一直在他身旁,忙着为他治疗伤口,哄他开心。

But now--things are going to be different.

但是现在--一切都将不同了。

This morning, he's going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.

今天清晨,他就要走下前门的楼梯,冲我挥手,然后开始他的伟大的历险征程,其间或许有争斗、不幸以及伤痛。

To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage.

既然活在这个世上,他就需要信念、爱心和勇气。

So, World, I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.

所以,世界啊,我希望你能够时不时握住他稚嫩的小手,传授他所应当知晓的事情。

Teach him - but gently, if you can.

教育他吧--而如果可能的话,温柔一些。

Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero; that for every crooked politician there is a dedicated leader; that for every enemy there is a friend.

教他知道,每有恶人之地,必有豪杰所在;每有奸诈小人,必有献身义士;每见一敌人,必有一友在侧。

Teach him the wonders of books.

教他感受书本的神奇魅力。

Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill.

给他时间静思大自然中亘古绵传之奥秘:空中的飞鸟,日光里的蜜蜂,青山上的簇簇繁花。

Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.

教他知道,失败远比欺骗更为光荣。

Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong.

教他坚定自我的信念,哪怕人人予以否认。

Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder, but never to put a price on his heart and soul.

教他可以最高价付出自己的精力和智慧,但绝不可出卖良心和灵魂。

Teach him to close his ears to a howling to stand and fight if he thinks he's right.

教他置暴徒的喧嚣于度外……并在自觉正确之时挺身而战。

Teach him gently, World, but don't coddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.

温柔地教导他吧,世界,但是不要放纵他,因为只有烈火的考验才能炼出真钢。

This is a big order, World, but see what you can do.

这一要求甚高,世界,但是请尽你所能。

He's such a nice little fellow.

他是一个如此可爱的小家伙。

  一封英文书信篇二

My Dear Stuart,

亲爱的司徒亚

We are overjoyed at your generously long letter. We have been rather worried about you since your reticent Xmas card from Spain. We thought that your indignation at the Fascist terrors might have made you join the Spanish Republican army on leaving Oxford. In that case, the world would certainly gain a hero, but we might (O horrible thought!) lose a friend. You can imagine our relief to hear from you again.

收到你这封慷慨的长信,我们真是喜出望外。上次你从西班牙寄来的圣诞贺卡语焉未详,害得我们心里一直忐忑不安。我们以为,由于你对法西斯的恐怖行径出离愤怒,或许会在牛津毕业后投入到西班牙共和军的队伍中。那样的话,世界会多一位英雄,而我们或许会(啊,多可怕的想法!)失去一位朋友。我们收到你的信时的宽慰你可想而知了。

We are very, very sorry indeed to hear about your viva. we do hope that it will not be prejudicial to your chances of getting a job. As your favorite Walter Raleigh used to say, Oxford final schools and the Last Judgement are two examinations, not one. You are quite right to take the whole thing lightly.

关于你大学口语入学口试的事,我们感到十分遗憾。真希望它不会影响你找工作。正如你的Walter Raleigh曾说的,牛津的毕业考试不等于末日审判,它们是两种考试。你不把这事放在心上是对的。

We shall be here for another four or five months yet. My scholarship expires this August, and we shall sail home in September. Not that we have homes to return to! Our houses, spared by the shell-fire, have been looted and gutted of all their valuable contents. Our respective families have taken refuge in mountains honeycombed with bandits. My wife lost her mother, and I myself have no prospect whatsoever of getting decent jobs in China. Still, one's lot is with one's own people; I don't mind roughing it a bit. The revolution of the Fortune's wheel might bring us up, and, as Goethe was fond of saying, abwarten Sie. You see, I spare my own patriotic heroics.

我们在这还要待四五个月。我的奖学金在八月到期,九月份我们将坐船回家。可不是因为我们有家可归!我们的房子虽免于战火,但值钱的家当被洗劫一空。我们俩各自的家庭也都在满是土匪的山上寻求避难之处。我的妻子失去了她的母亲,我对自己在中国找到体面的工作也不抱任何希望。但个人的命运是和民族的命运连在一起的。我并不介意生活得艰苦一些。会时来运转的,像歌德常说的abwarten Sie(德语,等待吧)。你看,我就不说那些爱国主义豪言壮语了。

Yes, my clairvoyant Stuart, I have been working entirely on my own. I have tried to read French literature systematically downwards, beginning with Villon, and already got as far as the mid-nineteenth century. I have also laboriously tackled the German romantics. I am reading Taine's novel Graindorge and Novalis's Fragmente. Besides, I have not neglected my English and Chinese studies. I am reading——no, I am not going to tell you my reading debauches. This paragraph reads already like a snippet from that model letter of a schoolboy to his parents ("or parent according to circumstances") in Anstey's Vice Versa.

得承认,你很有远见。我目前完全在自学。我在系统地用心读法国文学,从维龙开始,已经读到十九世纪中期。我也在费力地啃一些德国小说。我在读泰纳的 Graindorge和诺瓦利斯的《哲学片段》。此外,我也并未荒废英语和汉语的学习。我在看——不,我还是不告诉你我纵情阅读的内容了。这段文字读来已然像是摘自Anstey的Vice Versa《父亲的教训》中小学生给父母的(或其中之一的,视情况而定)范例书信了。

The baby is burstingly fat. She already boasts of six teeth (each tooth meaing a week or so of worries and sleeplessness on her part as well our own). She is very naughty and mutinous and self-willed, altogether an ugly customer to deal with. She will be able to walk a little next month.

小宝宝胖得要爆了。她为已经了不起地有六颗牙了(每颗牙都代表我们和她一个星期左右的忧虑和失眠)。她淘气,叛逆,任性,整个一个难伺候的主。下个月她就会走路了。

You are a disquieting feller, my dear Stuart. You always give me the impression of some impending catastrophe. Why this sudden "treachery" to your "former interests"? You seem to have a "gout trop facilement degoute". Your mind seems to slough its idea as frequently as the snakes their skins. No doubt you will call me smug and incorrigible. Do keep me abreast of your lastest developments.

亲爱的Stuart,你是个不让人放心的家伙。你总给人一种大难临头的感觉。这次你对“旧的爱好”的“叛变”是怎么回事?仿佛你有种gout trop facilement degoute(法语,有种爱改变口味的习惯),你摆脱旧想法的频率犹如蛇蜕皮。无怪乎你称我是不可一世又不可救药。请务必要让我知道你的最新进展。

My wife sends you her best wishes, to which I say ditto. Write to me at your earliest convenience.

我妻子与我一并奉上最美好的祝愿。期待你早日来信。

Yours ever,

你永远的,

Chung-shu Tchi'ien

钱锺书

P.S. My wife wants me to tell you that the baby is really "her father's daughter". She loves nothing so much as books——to tear and nibble at, certainly not to read. She has already destroyed a German primer, not to mention innumberable tradesmen's circulars and booklets. She throws away her toys to grab at the books we happen to be reading.

又:我妻子让我告诉你,小宝宝颇有“其父之风”,最爱的就是书——撕或咬,绝不是为了读。她已毁掉一本德语入门书,更不要说不可计数的商家传单和手册。当我们读书时,她常扔掉手上的玩具,来抓我们的书。

  一封英文书信篇三

Dear Tiger Whiskers’ parents and children:

Remember our first meeting? August 30, 2016 was the first day we met formally. From your exciting and surprising expressions, for the first time I had a sense of happiness and luck as your English teacher. From the first day on, we began to embrace the beautiful September !

亲爱的威威虎家长们及孩子们:

还记得我们的第一次见面吗?2016年8月30日是我们的第一次正式见面日。从你们兴奋而惊喜的表情里,我第一次体会到作为你们英语老师的幸福和幸运。从第一天起,我们就开始拥抱美丽的九月了!

To meet with you is by chance also inevitable. Because in fact I just knew that I would meet you three days just before you came back to school, I was both nervous and excited. The first thing I did was to contact with your head teacher Miss Qi and ask her for your names and photos. Then I thought about English names for you, because it is important to remember a person's ideal situation is to remember both your names and your appearance, but time is limited, I can only try to remember the most. Combine your Chinese names with English names, is also not an easy job. so I came up with a good idea, try to make your Chinese names sound like your English names, for example I gave the first English name Mary, which sounds a little like “meng” in the Chinese name “ Zhang Meng”. In this way I spent an hour and a half getting your English names of 21 people. I used up all my memory resources and sometimes checked on line . I had remembered both your Chinese and English names after I finished the last name “Charlie”!

和你们相见,是偶然,也是必然。因为其实我是在大家返校前三天才知道要和你们相遇,心里既紧张又兴奋。我做的第一件事情就是马上和班主任联系,要来了大家的名单及照片。然后就想着为大家取英文名字,因为记住一个人的名字很重要。最理想的状况是把大家的名字和容貌都记住,但时间有限,我只能尽量记住大部分。把大家的中文名字和英文名字对应起来,也是一件不容易的事情,于是我想出了一个绝招,尽量让大家的中英文名字互相谐音,如我取的第一个英文名字是Mary,和“张梦”这个名字的“梦”有一点点音同,于是我利用我所有的记忆资源,偶尔也上网查询一下,花了一个半小时,终于取完了威威虎21人的英文名字。在取完最后一个名字“Charlie”时,我已经记住了大家的中英文名字!

“Life, is a grand meeting. If you know, please cherish! ” This is the first sentence I shared with you. I wanted to give you a big surprise for the first time. So I spent three days preparing School Starting Gift Packages : a study file bag for each of you, in this bag there are some school things I selected for you especially, such as markers, exercise books and nice English notebooks; There is also a letter I wrote to you for the first time and a personal information questionnaire. Each file bag I have posted a name tag, on which I wrote both your Chinese and English names; I also posted a label on the notebook, you will write both your Chinese and English names on your own . When I handed the learning portfolio to your hands, you had a surprising expressions on your faces, some students even cheered; when I told you about your English names, you were happier and more surprised, most of you had your first English names, after that it also proved that you love it very much ,you try to remember each other's names, and share your English names with your family and friends this time I issued a challenge: who can remember all the English names within a week? Some of you made it in less than three days, most of you can call other’s names in a week or so. Because you are very clever, you found the secret between the English and Chinese names. You usually call each other’s name during the break, put into practice the things you learn and practice makes perfect. It is so easy for you to remember the names! The ceremony we met for the first time was so warm and grand!

“人生,是一场盛大的遇见。若你懂得,就请珍惜!” 这是我送给你们的第一句话。第一次和你们见面,我想给你们一个大大的惊喜。于是,我花了三天的时间,特地为你们准备了开学大礼包:为你们每人建立一个学习档案袋,档案袋里是我为你们精挑细选的一些学习用品,如荧光笔、英语作业本和精美的英语笔记本,还有写给你们的第一封短信和一张个人信息调查表。每一个档案袋我都贴好了名字标签,标签上是我手写的中英文名字;本子上我也贴好了标签,名字由你们自己写。当我把学习档案袋交到你们手中时,你们露出了惊讶的表情,有的同学甚至欢呼起来;当告诉我为你们取的英文名字时,你们更加高兴和惊喜,你们的大部分人第一次有了自己的英文名字,后面也证明你们都很喜欢它,你们互相记着彼此的名字,和家人及朋友分享着你们的英文名字呢。我不失时机地发出挑战:在一个星期内,谁能记住全班所有人的英文名字。有的人不到三天就记住了,大部分人在一星期左右都能叫出对方的名字。因为你们很聪明,发现了中英文名字之间的秘密,平时在课间都叫着对方的英文名字,学以致用,熟能生巧,记住名字就是这么简单!我们第一次见面的仪式是这么热烈而隆重!

In the first short letter I wrote to you: in the past,you may feel very happy, a little painful or had mixed feelings about learning English. Anyway, experience is a treasure. Let bygones be bygones! Now, we start our English learning journey: let’s enjoy ourselves in the sea of wonderful English songs ,singing happily all the way; let’s learn phonics, speak English naturally and fluently; let’s step into the wonderful English picture story books, to experience the beauty of language...... let’s speak together, sing together, perform together, talk together, play together and go into the wonderful world of English!

在给你们的第一封短信中,我写道:过去,你们学习英语也许很快乐,也许有点痛苦,或许喜忧参半,不管怎样,经历了就是一笔财富。让一切都过去吧!( Let bygones be bygones ! )现在,我们重新开始我们的英语学习旅程:让我们徜徉在美妙的英语歌曲海洋里,一路欢歌;让我们一起学习自然拼读,自然而流利地说英语;让我们一起走进那美妙的英语绘本故事里,去体会语言的美妙……让我们一起说、一起唱、一起演、一起讲、一起玩,一起走进奇妙的英语世界吧!

First, we embraced the September with songs. We learned five new morning chanting songs, three class songs y Wednesday morning, we will have a happy hug with songs, and then in the following days we will continue to review these beautiful memories. In the first song Together, we work together, play together, learning ways to get along and finding out what life’s about; In the second song Everybody Jump , we jump, climb, swing and clap together, play football and play seesaw in the playground, we have fun and joy; In the third song Rig A Jig Jig , walking down the street, I chanced to meet a very good friend, so we clapped our hands and stomped our feet together, We even climbed on a train and tooted the horn; The fourth song Billy Boy tells us the story of a lovely and naughty boy: he has been to seek a wife, She’s the joy of his life, but she’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother; The autumn came, we sang the Autumn Song: Autumn’s here. That time of year. The leaves are falling everywhere. The sap will flow. The fruit has grown. The birds fly south,‘Cause it’s warmer there.... Dream It Possible , Right Here Waiting and A Little Love were the classic English songs we repeatedly sang in September. We expressed determination of " I will run, I will climb, I will soar, I'm undefeated , Jumping out of my skin, pull the chord, so I'll dream, until I make it real, and all I see is stars"; We experienced the true love of " Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you; Whatever it takes, Or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you,"; We understood the true heart of " A little love, a little kiss ,a little hug, a little gift ,all of little something ,these are our memories”.

第一,我们用歌曲拥抱九月。我们学会了五首晨诵歌曲,3首课堂歌曲。在每周三的清晨,我们都会和歌曲来个快乐的拥抱,然后在接下来的日子里我们会不断地重温这美好的回忆。在第一首歌曲《在一起》里:我们一起学习,一起玩 ,学习相处的方法,找到生活的真谛;在第二首歌《每个人跳一跳》,我们一起跳,爬,荡秋千和拍手,一起在操场上踢足和玩跷跷板,我们玩得开心而快乐;第三首歌《玩一玩,乐一乐》,走在街上,我偶然遇见一个很好的朋友,于是我们一起拍手,一起跺脚,我们还我们爬上火车,吹着喇叭; 第四首歌《比利男孩》给我们讲述了一个可爱而淘气的男孩:他一直在寻找一个妻子,她是他生命中的快乐 ,但她是一个年轻的小女孩,不能离开她的母亲;秋天来了,我们唱起了《秋日之歌》:秋天来了,一年中的那个时候,到处都是落叶,有会流的汁液,果实成熟了,鸟儿往南,因为那里更温暖……《梦想成真》、《此情可待》和 《一点爱》是我们在九月反复歌唱的经典英文歌曲,我们用歌声表达了“我奔跑,我攀登,我展翅翱翔,我绝不低头,挣脱自我的桎梏,拨动琴弦,不停追寻天际,直到梦想成真,满眼群星”的决心;体会了“无论你在何地,无论你做何事, 我就在这里等候你;不管怎么样,不管我多心碎, 我就在这里等候你”的真爱;懂得了“一点爱,一个吻,轻轻的拥抱,小小的礼物,所有的点滴小事,都是只属于我们的回忆”的真心。

Second, we learned phonics happily. We firstly reviewed the pronunciation and spelling of the 26 letters, especially the specification of every letter’s writing, and especially some letters that it is easy for you to write wrongly, we practiced over and over again, then your writing became more and more standard, more and more beautiful day by day, when you saw your writing finally obtained the "excellent" evaluation, you gave us a bright smile. Secondly, we focus on the study of 5 vowels of phonics, we almost every day spelt letters and words happily, sometimes read with rhythm, sometimes sang happily, those words and sentences have been learnt by us while playing, so dictation of words is a piece of cake! Because practice make perfect!

第二,我们快乐地学习了自然拼读。首先温习了26个字母的拼读,特别是规范了每个字母的书写,尤其是一些容易写错的字母,我们一遍又一遍地练习,于是你们的书写一天天规范,一天天漂亮,当看到你们的书写终于得到“卓越”的评价时,你们的脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。其次我们重点学习了5个元音字母的自然拼读,我们几乎每天快乐地拼读字母和单词,时而有节奏地读,时而欢唱地唱,那些单词和句子就在边玩边学中掌握了,于是听写单词就是小菜一碟啦!因为熟能生巧嘛!

Third, we walked into the wonderful English picture storybooks: do you remember the first story The Very Hungry Caterpillar we read together ? The caterpillar in the story is also yourself ! You are hungry and thirsty for knowledge, you accumulate energy, day by day, month by month, you accumulate richly and break forth vastly, until you break the final cocoon and become a butterfly, a beautiful butterfly, dancing between heaven and earth! As hungry as you continue reading a lot of picture storybooks, such as brown bear, brown bear, what do you see, City and the 5 stories related the vowels. In October we will continue to read more wonderful and profound stories like caterpillars!

第三,我们一起走进了那美妙的英语绘本故事里:还记得我们一起共读的绘本故事《好饿好饿的毛毛虫》吗?里面的毛毛虫就是你们自己呀。你们如饥似渴,多吃知识,多积累能量,日积月累,厚积薄发,直到最后才能破茧成蝶,化为一只漂亮的蝴蝶,翩翩起舞于天地间!饥饿的你们继续阅读了好多绘本故事,如《棕熊,棕熊,你看见了什么》、《城市》以及5个和元音字母有关的绘本故事。十月我们将继续像毛毛虫一样啃读更多美妙而深邃的绘本故事!

Fourth, we also went into a beautiful fairy tale world: we read a simple classic fairy tale, The Princess and the Pea, which is a story about the prince looking for the real princess. Although the story is a bit ridiculous, but from the experience of the Prince and Princess we knew that it is not easy to get happiness,we have to struggle, experience setbacks and failures, constantly seeking to overcome difficulties and dangers, finally we can make it.

第四,我们也走进了美妙的经典童话世界:我们共读了一本简易经典童话名著《豌豆公主》,这是关于王子寻找真正的公主的故事。虽然故事有点离奇,但我们从中体会了王子和公主的幸福得来也是不容易的,得去努力奋斗,经历波折和失败,不断寻找,克服重重困难和险阻,最后才能获得成功的道理。

Fifth, we traveled in English Original movies: In the film Charlotte’s Web, Charlotte, the spider, weaves words for Wilbur, the pig . These words are: Some Pig, Terrific, Radiant, Humble .I will weave these words for you in later years! We can also be each other's Charlotte, let us respect each other, encourage each other and face challenge together base on our mutual development and success!

第五,我们还去英文原版电影里畅游了一番:《夏洛的网》蜘蛛夏洛特为小猪威尔伯编织的词语:王牌猪,了不起,光彩照人,谦卑,也是我在以后的岁月里要为你们编织的词语呀!我们也可以做彼此的夏洛,让我们为共同的成长与成就彼此尊敬、相互鼓励、迎接挑战!

Apart from this, we studied our English textbooks. because of the above-mentioned rich and accurate studies, It’s much easier for us to learn our text books and the time is greatly reduced but we gain much more.

除了这些,我们还进行了英语课本的学习,有了以上浪漫精确的学习,我们学习我们的课本就容易多了,效率也大大地提高。

The wonderful world of English is really unforgettable! September is not the end, but a new beginning. In October, we will continue to roam in a more beautiful and more challenging English world.

这么美妙的英语世界 真是让人流连忘返啊!九月不是结束,而是一个新的开始。十月,我们将继续徜徉在更加美妙而且更有挑战的英文世界里。
