Never Say Never

Never Say Never

I cannot remember a point in my life when I desired anything other than becoming a teacher. As a child, I played school with my little cousins and friends just so I could practice for my future career. But wha t I didn’t realize as a child was how expensive my dream was. I came from a middle class family, and it seemed so out of reach, but I wasn’t willing to settle for anything less.

In the beginning of my senior year in high school, I began applying to colleges, but in my heart I had already made my decision. The University of Connecticut was the one. But a huge hurdle stood between me and my dream-lack of financial resources.

At first, I was ready to give up. I mean, who was going to give me, the average high-school girl, that kind of money? I wasn’t the smartest person in my class, not even close; but my heart was in the right place, and I was determined. I knew that scholarships were only given to the really smart kids, or so I thought. I applied for every scholarship I could get my hands on. What did I have to lose? And then my guidance counselor told me about the financial aid system. I applied, but I didn’t think I would qualify for that either.

After the holidays, my friends started receiving their acceptance letters from colleges, and I eagerly anticipated mine. Finally, a letter arrived from the University of Connecticut. Feelings of fear and joy overwhelmed me, but I was ready. I opened the envelope with trembling hands as tears engulfed my eyes. I had done it! I had been accepted to the extremely excited and afraid. I had worked so hard to get accepted; what if I was denied admission because of my financial status?

I had been working a full-time job, but that was barely enough to pay for tuition. My parents couldn't afford that kind of money, and I wasn't going to pretend that they could. I was the first person in my family, who would attend a university, and I knew how proud my parents were; but it was impossible for them to finance my education. However, my parents are incredible people, and they taught me never to give up on my dreams, regardless of the obstacles that I encounter, and never to lose sight of what I truly want out of life. My parents were right, and I continued to believe in both myself and my dreams.

Months went by before I heard anything from the financial aid office. I assumed that I

didn't qualify for aid, but I wasn't ready to lose hope yet. At last, a letter arrived. I opened it eagerly, but it was a false alarm. The letter requested more information in order to process my application.

This happened over and over, and my hopes kept getting shot down. Finally, a bulky envelope arrived. I knew this was the one that would determine whether or not I could attend college. I opened the envelope and could hardly understand what any of the documents inside meant.

The following day, I brought the documents to school and asked my guidance counselor to take a look at them. He looked up at me with a huge smile on his face and told me that not only was financial aid going to help me out with my expenses, but I had also won two of the scholarships I had applied for! I was in shock at first, and then I cried. I had actually made my dream come true.

I am now a junior at the University of Connecticut, pursuing a degree in English. In the beginning of the new millennium, my dream will become a reality. I will be a teacher.

I will by this quote: “Reach for the sky because if you should happen to miss, you will still be among the stars.”

Imaginative people sometimes are pessimistic, as they see things far worse than they are and foresee more dangers than there will be.) 4. F (Refer to Paragraph 5.

But to their surprise, Britain stood the ordeal and this miracle changed the view of those nations.) 5. T (Refer to Paragraph 8.) III. A nswer the following questions. 1. Refer to Paragraph 2. Because he understands that the war is long and tough: it is not to end in months but in years. He tells the people there that however long the war lasts, the final victory belongs to Britain. But at the same time he makes it clear that not every day is an opportunity to take action: they have yet to wait and persevere. 2. Refer to Paragraph 3. Because he thinks that both Triumph and Disaster are deceptive in that people can make things out far worse than they really are when they have a disaster and they can lose their vigilance when they are in triumph. 3.

As the country stood the ordeal to their great surprise, those nations changed their view. 4. Refer to Paragraph 7. Because he has a strong conviction of victory. The two terms have different implications. When used in the text to refer to the days of war, "darker days" emphasizes the dark/negative side of the event and shows the user's pessimism.

(完整版)Unit1NeverGiveIn,Never,Never,Never课文翻译综合教程四(2)

Unit 1 Never Give In, Never, Never, Never Winston Churchill Almost a year has passed since I came down here at your Head Master's kind invitation in order to cheer myself and cheer the hearts of a few of my friends by singing some of our own songs. The ten months that have passed have seen very terrible catastrophic events in the world—ups and downs, misfortunes—but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon, not feel deeply thankful for what has happened in the time that has passed and for the very great improvement in the position of our country and of our home? Why, when I was here last time we were quite alone, desperately alone, and we had been so for five or six months. We were poorly armed. We are not so poorly armed today; but then we were very poorly armed. We had the unmeasured menace of the enemy and their air attack still beating upon us, and you yourselves had had experience of this attack; and I expect you are beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up! But we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough. It is generally said that the British are often better at the last. They do not expect to move from crisis to crisis; they do not always expect that each day will bring up some noble chance of war; but when they very slowly make up their minds that the thing has to be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes months—if it takes years—they do it. Another lesson I think we may take, just throwing our minds back to our meeting here ten months ago and now, is that appearances are often very deceptive, and as Kipling well says, we must "... meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same." You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period—I am addressing myself to the school—surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this tradition of ours, our songs, our school history, this part of the history of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated. Very different is the mood today. Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. But instead our country stood in the gap. There was no flinching and no

英语文化 学英语必须要知道的经典英文歌曲14 Hallelujah

歌曲背景 "Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a recording by John Cale, which inspired a recording by Jeff Buckley. It has been viewed as a "baseline" for secular hymns. "Hallelujah"为加拿大著名游吟诗人、民谣歌手Leonard Cohen在1985年创作的歌曲，收录在其专辑"Various Positions"中。其歌词充满诗意，内涵丰富，曲调缓慢忧伤，加上Leonard沧桑嗓音的低吟浅唱，演绎出了一种清淡而悠长的回味。 Hallelujah的版本很多，其中最有影响力的还是美国著名创作型歌手Jeff Buckley的翻唱版本，被收录在其1994年的专辑"Grace"中。Jeff被U2的Bono形容为“噪海中的纯净一滴”，他的声音明丽甜蜜又性感飘渺，诠释起悲伤和记忆来却更令人印象深刻。 中国歌手邓紫棋在现场演唱会上翻唱了本曲。 英文歌词 Now I've heard there was a secret chord 我曾听闻一曲传奇中的旋律 That David played, and it pleased the Lord 是大卫弹奏来取悦上帝的赞颂 But You don't really care for music, do You? 但祢真正喜悦的(是人的作为，而)不是音乐，对吧？ Well it goes like this 旋律是这样的 The fourth, the fifth F和弦，G和弦(复杂的心情无可言喻) The minor fall, the major lift 大小调起承转合(指戴维泣不成声的祷告颂唱，至五音不全) The baffled king composing Hallelujah
