大学英语作文 篇1

it had been hard for him that spake it to have put more truth and untruth together in few words, than in that speech. whatsoever is delighted in solitude, is either a wild beast or a god. for it is most true, that a natural and secret hatred, and aversation towards society, in any man, hath somewhat of the savage beast; but it is most untrue, that it should have any character at all, of the divine nature; ecept it proceed, not out of a pleasure in solitude, but out of a love and desire to sequester a man鈥檚 self, for a higher conversation: such as is found to have been falsely and feignedly in some of the heathen; as epimenides the candian, numa the roman, empedocles the sicilian, and apollonius of tyana; and truly and really, in divers of the ancient hermits and holy fathers of the church. but little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it etendeth. for a crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love. the latin adage meeteth with it a little: magna civitas, magna solitudo; because in a great town friends are scattered; so that there is not that fellowship, for the most part, which is in less neighborhoods. but we may go further, and affirm most truly, that it is a mere and miserable solitude to want true friends; without which the world is but a wilderness; and even in this sense also of solitude, whosoever in the frame of his nature and affections, is unfit for friendship, he taketh it of the beast, and not from humanity.

a principal fruit of friendship, is the ease and discharge of the fulness and swellings of the heart, which passions of all kinds do cause and induce. we know diseases of stoppings, and suffocations, are the most dangerous in the body; and it is not much otherwise in the mind; you may take sarza to open the liver, steel to open the spleen, flowers of sulphur for the lungs, castoreum for the brain; but no receipt openeth the heart, but a true friend; to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes, suspicions, counsels, and whatsoever lieth upon the heart to oppress it, in a kind of civil shrift or confession.

it is a strange thing to observe, how high a rate great kings and monarchs do set upon this fruit of friendship, whereof we speak: so great, as they purchase it, many times, at the hazard of their own safety and greatness. for princes, in regard of the distance of their fortune from that of their subjects and servants, cannot gather this fruit, ecept (to make themselves capable thereof) they raise some persons to be, as it were, companions and almost equals to themselves, which many times sorteth to inconvenience. the modern languages give unto such persons the name of favorites, or privadoes; as if it were matter of grace, or conversation. but the roman name attaineth the true use and cause thereof, naming them participes curarum; for it is that which tieth the knot. and we see plainly that this hath been done, not by weak and passionate princes only, but by the wisest and most politic that ever reigned; who have oftentimes joined to themselves some of their servants; whom both themselves have called friends, and allowed other likewise to call them in the same manner; using the word which is received between private men.

l. sylla, when he commanded rome, raised pompey (after surnamed the great) to that height, that pompey vaunted himself for sylla鈥檚 overmatch. for when he had carried the consulship for a friend of his, against the pursuit of sylla, and that sylla did a little resent thereat, and began to speak great, pompey turned upon him again, and in effect bade him be quiet; for that more men adored the sun rising, than the sun setting. with julius caesar, decimus brutus had obtained that interest, as he set him down, in his testament, for heir in remainder, after his nephew. and this was the man that had power with him, to draw him forth to his death. for when caesar would have discharged the senate, in regard of some ill presages, and specially a dream of calpurnia; this man lifted him gently by the arm out of his chair, telling him he hoped he would not dismiss the senate, till his wife had dreamt a better dream. and it seemeth his favor was so great, as antonius, in a letter which is recited verbatim in one of cicero鈥檚 philippics, calleth him venefica, witch; as if he had enchanted caesar. augustus raised agrippa (though of mean birth) to that height, as when he consulted with maecenas, about the marriage of his daughter julia, maecenas took the liberty to tell him, that he must either marry his daughter to agrippa, or take away his life; there was no third war, he had made him so great. with tiberius caesar, sejanus had ascended to that height, as they two were termed, and reckoned, as a pair of friends. tiberius in a letter to him saith, haec pro amicitia nostra non occultavi; and the whole senate dedicated an altar to friendship, as to a goddess, in respect of the great dearness of friendship, between them two. the like, or more, was between septimius severus and plautianus. for he forced his eldest son to marry the daughter of plautianus; and would often maintain plautianus, in doing affronts to his son; and did write also in a letter to the senate, by these words: i love the man so well, as i wish he may over鈥搇ive me. now if these princes had been as a trajan, or a marcus aurelius, a man might have thought that this had proceeded of an abundant goodness of nature; but being men so wise, of such strength and severity of mind, and so etreme lovers of themselves, as all these were, it proveth most plainly that they found their own felicity (though as great as ever happened to mortal men) but as an half piece, ecept they mought have a friend, to make it entire; and yet, which is more, they were princes that had wives, sons, nephews; and yet all these could not supply the comfort of friendship.

it is not to be forgotten, what comineus observeth of his first master, duke charles the hardy, namely, that he would communicate his secrets with none; and least of all, those secrets which troubled him most. whereupon he goeth on, and saith that towards his latter time, that closeness did impair, and a little perish his understanding. surely comineus mought have made the same judgment also, if it had pleased him, of his second master, lewis the eleventh, whose closeness was indeed his tormentor. the parable of pythagoras is dark, but true; cor ne edito; eat not the heart. certainly if a man would give it a hard phrase, those that want friends, to open themselves unto are cannibals of their own hearts. but one thing is most admirable (wherewith i will conclude this first fruit of friendship), which is, that this communicating of a man鈥檚 self to his friend, works two contrary effects; for it redoubleth joys, and cutteth griefs in halves. for there is no man, that imparteth his joys to his friend, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth his griefs to his friend, but he grieveth the less. so that it is in truth, of operation upon a man鈥檚 mind, of like virtue as the alchemists use to attribute to their stone, for man鈥檚 body; that it worketh all contrary effects, but still to the good and benefit of nature. but yet without praying in aid of alchemists, there is a manifest image of this, in the ordinary course of nature. for in bodies, union strengtheneth and cherisheth any natural action; and on the other side, weakeneth and dulleth any violent impression: and even so it is of minds.

the second fruit of friendship, is healthful and sovereign for the understanding, as the first is for the affections. for friendship maketh indeed a fair day in the affections, from storm and tempests; but it maketh daylight in the understanding, out of darkness, and confusion of thoughts. neither is this to be understood only of faithful counsel, which a man receiveth from his friend; but before you come to that, certain it is, that whosoever hath his mind fraught with many thoughts, his wits and understanding do clarify and break up, in the communicating and discoursing with another; he tosseth his thoughts more easily; he marshalleth them more orderly, he seeth how they look when they are turned into words: finally, he waeth wiser than himself; and that more by an hour鈥檚 discourse, than by a day鈥檚 meditation. it was well said by themistocles, to the king of persia, that speech was like cloth of arras, opened and put abroad; whereby the imagery doth appear in figure; whereas in thoughts they lie but as in packs. neither is this second fruit of friendship, in opening the understanding, restrained only to such friends as are able to give a man counsel; (they indeed are best;) but even without that, a man learneth of himself, and bringeth his own thoughts to light, and whetteth his wits as against a stone, which itself cuts not. in a word, a man were better relate himself to a statua, or picture, than to suffer his thoughts to pass in smother.

add now, to make this second fruit of friendship complete, that other point, which lieth more open, and falleth within vulgar observation; which is faithful counsel from a friend. heraclitus saith well in one of his enigmas, dry light is ever the best. and certain it is, that the light that a man receiveth by counsel from another, is drier and purer, than that which cometh from his own understanding and judgment; which is ever infused, and drenched, in his affections and customs. so as there is as much difference between the counsel, that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend, and of a flatterer. for there is no such flatterer as is a man鈥檚 self; and there is no such remedy against flattery of a man鈥檚 self, as the liberty of a friend. counsel is of two sorts: the one concerning manners, the other concerning business. for the first, the best preservative to keep the mind in health, is the faithful admonition of a friend. the calling of a man鈥檚 self to a strict account, is a medicine, sometime too piercing and corrosive. reading good books of morality, is a little flat and dead. observing our faults in others, is sometimes improper for our case. but the best receipt (best, i say, to work, and best to take) is the admonition of a friend. it is a strange thing to behold, what gross errors and etreme absurdities many (especially of the greater sort) do commit, for want of a friend to tell them of them; to the great damage both of their fame and fortune: for, as st. james saith, they are as men that look sometimes into a glass, and presently forget their own shape and favor. as for business, a man may think, if he will, that two eyes see no more than one; or that a gamester seeth always more than a looker鈥搊n; or that a man in anger, is as wise as he that hath said over the four and twenty letters; or that a musket may be shot off as well upon the arm, as upon a rest; and such other fond and high imaginations, to think himself all in all. but when all is done, the help of good counsel is that which setteth business straight. and if any man think that he will take counsel, but it shall be by pieces; asking counsel in one business, of one man, and in another business, of another man; it is well (that is to say, better, perhaps, than if he asked none at all); but he runneth two dangers: one, that he shall not be faithfully counselled; for it is a rare thing, ecept it be from a perfect and entire friend, to have counsel given, but such as shall be bowed and crooked to some ends, which he hath, that giveth it. the other, that he shall have counsel given, hurtful and unsafe (though with good meaning), and mied partly of mischief and partly of remedy; even as if you would call a physician, that is thought good for the cure of the disease you complain of, but is unacquainted with your body; and therefore may put you in way for a present cure, but overthroweth your health in some other kind; and so cure the disease, and kill the patient. but a friend that is wholly acquainted with a man鈥檚 estate, will beware, by furthering any present business, how he dasheth upon other inconvenience. and therefore rest not upon scattered counsels; they will rather distract and mislead, than settle and direct.

after these two noble fruits of friendship (peace in the affections, and support of the judgment), followeth the last fruit; which is like the pomegranate, full of many kernels; i mean aid, and bearing a part, in all actions and occasions. here the best way to represent to life the manifold use of friendship, is to cast and see how many things there are, which a man cannot do himself; and then it will appear, that it was a sparing speech of the ancients, to say, that a friend is another himself; for that a friend is far more than himself. men have their time, and die many times, in desire of some things which they principally take to heart; the bestowing of a child, the finishing of a work, or the like. if a man have a true friend, he may rest almost secure that the care of those things will continue after him. so that a man hath, as it were, two lives in his desires. a man hath a body, and that body is confined to a place; but where friendship is, all offices of life are as it were granted to him, and his deputy. for he may eercise them by his friend. how many things are there which a man cannot, with any face or comeliness, say or do himself? a man can scarce allege his own merits with modesty, much less etol them; a man cannot sometimes brook to supplicate or beg; and a number of the like. but all these things are graceful, in a friend鈥檚 mouth, which are blushing in a man鈥檚 own. so again, a man鈥檚 person hath many proper relations, which he cannot put off. a man cannot speak to his son but as a father; to his wife but as a husband; to his enemy but upon terms: whereas a friend may speak as the case requires, and not as it sorteth with the person. but to enumerate these things were endless; i have given the rule, where a man cannot fitly play his own part; if he have not a friend, he may quit the stage.

大学英语作文 篇2

I don’t think it’s a very good idea to borrow money from a friend. It can cause resentment and awkwardness in the relationship. How do you approach your friend without making him feel he has to do this for you? It’s unlikely he’ll feel as if he can turn you down. Can be turn you down without insulting you? Probably not.

How do you know whether your friend can afford to lend you the money? He may be embarrassed to admit he’s a little short of funds himself. Or he might not want to disappoint you. So he lends you the money and then he needs money, too.

There’s also the question of when you’ll pay back the loan. It’s awkward for your friend to ask for a deadline for repayment. Besides, if you’re short of funds, you may not be able to predict when you’ll pay him back. What about interest on the loan? If it’s a small amount of money, this doesn’t matter. However, if large funds are involved, and you won’t be paying it back for a while, should you offer to pay interest? Should your friend ask you to pay interest? All these issues can result in hurt feelings and can harm the friendship.

It’s possible, of course, that if you borrow money from a friend and pay it back in a timely fashion, this will create a special bond between the two of you. You’ll know that you can count on your friend when you need help. He’ll know you’re trustworthy.

However, more often than not, money issues between friends are an embarrassment. If you need money, it’ s better to go to a bank for a loan.

大学英语作文 篇3

Along with the development of our education， today most universities have offered various electives for students to choose and study。 However， some people claim that these elective courses have very little effect on spreading knowledge and students’ development because what students concern about when choosing electives are so different。

随着我国教育的发展，如今大多数大学都为学生提供了各种各样的选修课。然而，一些人认为这些选修课对传播知识和学生的发展影响很小，因为学生们担心选择选修课是如此之不同。

There are various kinds of reasons for choosing electives and I list some in here。 Primarily， the most important and wide factor students concern about is the teachers of the courses。 Instead considering the quality of the teacher， or the form or style of the teacher will take or act in the course， they just want to make sure that the teacher they choose will never keep trace of their attendance and let them fail in their exams。 In addition， a large number of students choose their elective courses aiming to get a high score but never consider what they will learn and how to apply to it。 What’s worse， some students choose their electives just they are forced by their schools’ institution demand and their score need。

有各种各样的选择选修课的原因，我在这里列出了一些。首先，学生关心的最重要和最普遍的因素是上课的教师。不是考虑教师的上课质量，或教师上课的形式、风格，他们只是想确保他们选择的老师不会经常考勤或让他们考试不及格。此外，大部分的学生选择选修课的目的在于得高分，而从不考虑从中会学到什么，如何去应用它。更糟糕的是，有些学生选择选修课只是因为学校的强制和分数的需要。

As far as I am concerned， I advocate that the most important thing we should concern about when choosing electives is our personal interests。 The most worthy meaning for these electives is to broaden our horizon and extend our knowledge as much as possible and to complement our major and compulsory courses。 Therefore， what electives we choose should be in accordance with our interests and our career planning instead of aiming to make high score or pass the exam。

我认为在选择选修课的时候我们应该关注的是我们个人的兴趣。这些最有价值意义的选修课可以扩大我们的视野，弥补我们专业必修课程的不足。因此，我们应该根据我们的兴趣和职业规划来选择选修课而不是为了得高分或通过考试。

Shopping through Media

With the development of science and technology, it is much more common for people to buy goods through different kinds of media than before. People can buy things such as computers and necklaces through TV, radio, the Internet, etc.

Shopping through media is welcomed by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumers, it can save time for people who don’t have much spare time. For retailers, it can cut costs for those without much circulating funds. However, there are still some defects in shopping through media. First, compared with face-to-face deal, it seems less reliable and trustworthy. Second, people will lose the fun of bargaining.

In my view, although shopping via media brings great convenience to us, we still should be brings great convenience to us, we still should be careful when we “go shopping” through media. We should check the information released by the media. Only in this way can we fully enjoy the convenience brought by media shopping without the concern of being cheated.

大学英语作文 篇6

Nowadays many college graduates set up their own companies with the fund from the government, which is part of the plans to help graduates to get employed. If graduates can put forward a creative and original plan, they will get the financial aid from the government. Our government is paying increasing attention to this program.

There are many reasons responsible for this program. It is intended to stimulate college graduates creativity and relieve their pressure of employment. First, there has been an expansion in universities and colleges. As a result, the rate of unemployment is on the rise in recent years because of the competitive job market. Second, some graduate employees are not satisfied with their present jobs and their enthusiasm for work has been frustrated, so they can t exhaust their potentials. Third, some brilliant and ambitious graduates are confronted with a shortage of start-up capital, so they find it hard to apply what they learn to practice, no matter how good their idea sounds.

As far as I m concerned, the program will not only offer opportunities to graduates but also bring back their confidence in themselves and in the future. An increasing number of graduates will benefit from this program. What is more, the development of each graduate will surely promote the development of the whole society in the long run.

大学英语作文 篇7

Currently, we could hardly live a single day without seeing a celebrity spokesperson promoting a product or a social campaign on TV, net or other media. This is an intensely popular trend that we cannot fail to notice.

目前，如果没有看到名人代言人促销产品或在电视，网络或其他媒体上看到参加社会活动，我们几乎一天都无法生存。这是一个我们不得不注意到的强烈的流行趋势。

There is no doubt that the celebrity spokespeople could boost the sale of a prduct. A host of celebrity spokespersons, however, have emerged as the marketing tool of some companies, even companies producing and selling fake and inferior items. This kind of behavior has produced negative impacts on consumers and whole society, which should be severely criticized and penalized. Of course, as is known to all, everything has both bright and dark sides. Some stars's endorsement of social activities and public campaigns raises public awareness, giving rise to changes in public behavior. In this case, they serve as positive role models of the general public. To name only one case: Pu CX, a household figure, acting as the celebrity spokesman of the China AIDS Foundation, contributes greatly to the cause of AIDS prevention and cure in China.

毫无疑问，名人代言人能增强产品的销售量。然而，一大堆名人代言已成为一些公司的营销手段了，甚至公司生产和销售假冒伪劣产品。这种行为对消费者和整个社会产生了负面影响，是应该受到严厉的批评和处罚的。当然，众所周知，任何事物都有好和坏两方面。一些明星代言一些社会活动和公共活动来提高社会知名度。在这种情况下，他们对广大市民起了积极作用。仅举一例：濮存昕，一个家喻户晓的人物，作为中国艾滋病基金会的明星代言人，有助于中国艾滋病防治事业。

How to Be Popular

Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very simple. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well. When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition, we should smile and appear friendly. After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.

Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It's also important to be good listeners; in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip. Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.

如何才能受人欢迎

大部分的人都想受人欢迎，但是并非每个人都能达到目标。受欢迎的秘诀何在?事实上是很简单的。步骤一，先改善我们的外表。我们得确保自己很健康，并且穿着体面。当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时，不仅看起来更有精神，自己也会觉得好多了。此外，我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。毕竟，脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。如果我们能做到这一点，他人会被我们的.美好外表所吸引，并对我们的自信印象深刻。

另一个重要步骤，就是培养对他人的体贴。永远以他人为重，并把他人的利益放在自己的利益之前。当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来，他人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。然而，不管我们做什么事，绝对不要说闲言闲语。最重要的是，要做自己，不要当虚伪的人。只有对人真诚又尊重时，才能赢得他人的尊敬。如果我们能做到以上几点，我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。

Learn How to Say No

We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic.

When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.

学习如何说不

我们都被教导说，我们应该要帮助他人。这是应该做的事，而且这样做会使我们受人欢迎。它甚至会为我们赢得一些回报。但是，我们必须要实际一点。我们不能答应每一个要求。如果我们这么做，我们就一定会失败或发疯。有时候我们确实没有时间去帮忙。既然如此，我们就必须知道如何有礼貌地说不。

当我们需要说不的时候，有个办法我们可以试试。首先，我们应该要说实话。假如我们真的办不到某件事，我们就应该说不。第二，我们应该记得要客气地拒绝对方的要求。我们必须清楚地表达，但态度也必须真诚并且表示同情。一个真正的朋友会谅解的。最后，我们不必为了说不而觉得有罪恶感。有时候拒绝他人才是我们应该做的事。它可以替我们自己和他人，都省下许多麻烦。总而言之，我们无法一直取悦每个人。拒绝请求是人生的一部分。
