回忆作文 最令人怵目惊心的一件事，是看着钟表上的秒针一下一下的移动，每移动一下就表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。在看着墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历，每天撕下一张就表示我们的寿命又缩短了一天。时间即生命。没有人不爱惜他的生命，但很少有人珍视他的时间。如果想在有生之年做一点什么事，学一点什么学问，充实自己，帮助别人，使生命过得有意义，不虚此生，那么就不可浪费光阴。这道理人人都懂，可是很少有人能真正把之付诸实践。

Here then were we breaking the deep silence of the deep woods with the hum of cheerful voices and the wild mirth that bursts from the light=hearted children. No other sound was there except the heavy tread of the oxen and the lumbering sound of the sleigh as it jolted over the fallen sticks and logs that lay beneath the snow.
Nothing can surpass the loveliness of the woods after a snowstorm has loaded every bough and sprig with its feathery deposit. The face of the ground, so rough and tangled with a mass of uptorn trees(连根拔起的树木), broken boughs, and timbers in every stage of decay, ems by the touch of some powerful magician’s wand(魔棒)to have changed in character. Unrivalled purity, softness, and brilliancy, has taken the place of confusion and vegetable corruption. It is one of the greatest treats this country affords me, to journey through the ehick woods after a heavy snowfall——whether it be by the brilliant light of the noonday sun in the cloudless azure sky, giving a brightness to every glittering particle
that clothes the trees or surface of the ground, or hangs in heavy mass on the evergreens, converting their fan-shaped boughs into foliage of feather whiteness and most fantastic forms——or by the light of a full moon and frosty stars looking down through the snowy tops of the forest trees——sometimes shining through a veil of haze…
