No mater where I go; Mei Campus always stays with me and my deep feelings to it always keeps in me。 I would like to work heart and soul; for my love of Mei Campus。 I earnestly hope to contribute my feelings and fervently hope to share the happiness and be concerned about the worries with every one of Mei campus。
  进校以来,我一直担任班级团干部的职务,也做了一些实实在在的工作。在和同学们的交往中有一个深刻的感受,那就是:一个集体的腾飞,来源于其内在的凝聚力,而造就这种力量的基石是:真诚、理解与付出。作为学生会干部,就要有燃烧自己的信念,用炽热的情感去填平人与人、理解与现实之间的沟壑,不为谋求些什么,只求能够付出自己的一分热忱与努力。。。。。。。
  作为经院八百莘莘学子中的一员,我为自己是经院人而自豪,也更愿承担属于自己的那份责任,这,就是今天我站在这里的初衷。
  记得上届学生会竞选的时候,有位候选人曾经响亮地问自己:〃我是该安静地走开,还是勇敢地留下来?〃结果,他勇敢地留下来了。今天,我想告诉大家的是:我真诚地希望自己也能够留下来。即使面对失败的苦涩,也不会负气〃安静地走开〃,因为,我是经院人,我的根在梅园!
  走遍山山水水,梅香依旧,深情依旧。为了曾经拥有过的一份眷恋,我愿洒一把热汗,溅一腔真诚,乐经院人之乐,忧经院人之忧!
*My Attitude towards Marks
#我的分数观
For our students; marks are above everything。 Teachers will judge us from our marks。 With marks we can be enrolled into junior middle schools。 With marks; we can be enrolled into senior middle schools。 With marks we can be enrolled into college。 With marks we can be enrolled into postgraduate and doctor studies。 Still with marks we can be graded and be allowed to go abroad for further studies。 Our parents will be strict with us with the marks。 Our society judges us from marks。 However; sometimes we students pare one another with marks directly。 We are pletely controlled by marks。 We like them and we feel sorry for them。 But what attitude towards our marks should we take?
Truly; marks functions cannot be underestimated。 In terms of test in our study; marks are fair and real。 That is the reason why we say; 〃Everyone is equal before marks。〃
However; I didn't think marks are the sole standard to judge the success or failure of studtens in exams。 Sometimes; marks more than ten or less than one or two in our exams paring with others means not everything。 The success or failure in exams will be influenced by experience on the spot and the examinee's health etc。 Once in a while one cannot fail in exams。 〃Success or failure is mon for military。〃 I think everyone is familiar with the famous saying。 Don't you think such will be the case with our study? In exams; one cannot be 〃never…defeated general〃。 Even though one will be very good in everyday study; he cannot succeed in every exam sometimes。 We can get proof from the fact that the very best one we call 〃Number One Scholar〃 in the entrance exams for college and ordinary middle school and specialized secondary school over the years is not eminent above all others nor top student in every study。
As a matter of fact; 〃high marks〃 and 〃ability〃 are not unified。 Some time ago; a new phrase 〃high marks but poor petence〃 came into being。 Once I happened to meet such a teacher as this。 It is said that the teacher just graduated from a far…famed key university。 But his teaching result is much less than that of the one who just graduated from a not…well…renowned college。 When lecturing; the teacher only repeated what the textbook says; which was very dull; so the students' interest in learning was not aroused。 His teaching was short of unity of teaching and learning。 At present there is a fact that we know a few brilliant and top colleges graduates are not qualified for their posts。 The reason for it may be lack of the ability to bine knowledge learnt from books with pragmatics in their work。 Students of this kind will be successful in every exam but they won't be able to use freely their knowledge in their posts。 Don't you think it waste training such persons for the country?
From the above; I can say marks are not absolutely authoritative for some。 If we neglect training and developing the students' ability and petence and if we only seek for the high marks; we will be absolutely wrong。 We should take an objective attitude towards the marks。 Neither should we neglect them nor should we overvalue them like a God。
  分数,对于我们学生来说,是至关重要的了。老师要用分数来衡量我们──上初中要分数;上高中要分数;上大学要分数;考研究生、博士要分数;出国、评职称还是要分数。家长用分数来要求我们,社会用分数来衡量我们,而我们自己也常常用分数在相互直接做着攀比。我们完全为分数所左右了,我们为它欢喜,我们为它丧气。那么,我们应该怎样对待分数呢?
  的确,分数有它不可低估的作用。从检验学习的角度上来说,它具有一定的公平性和真实性,〃分数面前人人平等〃讲的就是这个道理。
  然而,分数并不是估量一个学生得失成败的惟一标准。考试成绩偶尔低了一两分乃至十来分,并不一定说明什么问题。考试的成败有时也会受到诸如临场经验、健康状况等方面的影响。〃胜败乃兵家常事〃这句话大概不会有人不知道,而我们在学习上又何尝不如此?在考虑上很少有〃常胜之师〃,即使平时成绩再好的同学,也难免会有偶尔的失误。历届中考、高考〃状元〃并非就是平时出类拔萃的优等生的事实,便是明证。
  事实上,〃高分〃与〃能力〃往往是不统一的。前段时间,社会上出现了一个新词〃高分低能〃。笔者就曾经碰见这样一位教师,据说他毕业于某赫赫有名的重点大学,但从教学效果上讲,却远远逊色于一些并非著名高等院校毕业的老师。其授课只是照本宣科而已,枯燥乏味,根本不能引起听课同学的学习兴趣,缺乏一种教与学之间的协调功能。目前不少大专院校的高材生,毕业后不能胜任他们的工作,原因就在于缺少将书本中的知识运用到实际工作中去的能力。这种人,尽管在学校中每每能考出高分,可无法在工作岗位上灵活自如地运用自己所学到的知识。国家培养出这样的〃人才〃,不也是一种浪费吗?
  由此可见,分数并不如有些人想像的那么绝对和权威,忽视了对各方面才能的培养,只一味追求高分,是不行的。因此,我们应该客观地去看待分数,既不应轻视它,也没有必要把它看得过于神圣。
Never Seeing through Your Colorful Life
七彩人生莫看穿
Our life is like a polygon rhombus。 Some are happy with their success; some are unhappy with their failure。 We can not be successful without the experience of failure。 Why do you lose heart once you meet with failure? Why do you think you yourself will see through the vanity of life since then? A young and inexperienced fellow will be doubtful about everything he sees in the society; because he feels that what he reads from the books and what he sees in the real world seem to be two extreme different worlds。 He will say everything seems hypocritical to him。 Form him; 〃truth; good…and…honest; virtue〃 and 〃self…sacrifice for justice〃 and 〃self…sacrifice for saving another〃 seem hypocritical。 They are all like castles in the air。 For him everyone in the world seems to dress himself in a mask as flowers that will be blooming soon。 When he meets with all these in the world; he cannot help himself but to sign; 〃I would rather live in the leisure world alone in life。〃 But actually; when one sees the world itself; he makes great progress; which means that he is experienced and knowledgeable。 However; God enables us to reform the world; 〃why don't you seek for self…development〃 by 〃reform〃 the world; on the base of your experience and knowledge about the world?
〃Seeing through your life;〃 means ending your life。 When you think every life is such; you will always plain and lose heart。 When you act like this; you will lose your spirit; your belief and idea。 On the contrary; all those who seek and struggle with their firm belief will say with smiles 〃How happy we are!〃 even though life may be cruel and hard on them。
  现实生活是多棱的,有成功的喜悦,也有失败的痛苦。经不起败阵的考验,无以做成功的主人,一时一度的失意,何以从此悲观失望,自以为看破红尘呢?
  一个初出茅庐的青年,他会怀疑社会上的一切,因为他感到现实与书本近乎两个极端。一切都是那么虚伪,什么〃真、善、美〃,什么〃舍身取义〃、〃仗义救人〃,都是空中楼阁似的虚无缥缈。人人都戴着面具,好像要把自己装扮成含苞欲放的花朵似的。于是不禁叹道:还是一生一世生活在那个虚幻的世界里好。事实上,认识了世界的真面目本身就是一大进步,这比那些只会称赞〃七彩人生〃的人有见识多了。然而,上帝赋予我们〃改造〃世界的权力,为什么不在体验、认识周围世界的基础上,通过〃改造〃世界,寻求〃自身的发展〃呢?。。。。。。
  〃看穿人生〃也等于生命的结束,因为一旦你自以为人生莫不如此,就会怨声载道,垂头丧气,也就丧失了人类的灵魂──信念与理想。相反,那些怀有坚定不移的信念和追求的人,即便人生对他苛刻得近乎残酷,他也会微笑着说:〃我仍然是一个无比幸福的人〃。

Blood; Sweat and Tears

Winston Churchill
May 13; 1940

英汉对照

On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration。
It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties。
I have already pleted the most important part of this task。 A war cabinet has been formed of five members; representing; with the Labor; Opposition and Liberals; the unity of the nation。
It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events。 Other key positions were filled yesterday。 I am submitting a further list to the King tonight。 I hope to plete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow。
The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer。 I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be pleted and that the administration will be plete in all respects。
I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today。 At the end of today's proceedings; the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be。 Business for that will be notified to M。 P。 's at the earliest opportunity。
I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government。 The resolution:
〃That this House weles the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion。〃
To form an administration of this scale and plexity is a serious undertaking in itself。 But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history。 We are in action at any other points…in Norway and in Holland…and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean。 The air battle is continuing
