高考优秀英语作文:谈勇气

谈勇气

　　Hemingway often thought of courage as a person's ability to be calm and controlled in the face of death.His theme is presented in his novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls?" the story "The Old Man and the Sea" and in our textbook "A Day's Wait".By misunderstanding a different thermometer the boy thought he was running a high fever and would soon die.But he took his death bravely and waited quietly for it.The boy showed us he had courage.

　　I think such a definition of courage is far from enough.Courage should not be limited and related only to death.In ordinary life there are common things that also show a person's courage.For example,on a bus trip,a thief was trying to steal a girl's purse.Some people saw it,but kept quiet.They were afraid to be revenged by the thief.The brave stood out and stopped the thief.

　　Courage means truth and justice to me.The person in a high position often hear songs in praise of him.Some people are sincere.Some are only flattering the superior in their own favor.The leader also needs courage to welcome criticism as well as those who have the courage to criticize him.Such courage may come from mutual understanding.I think a man of courage will value truth and justice,and not hesitate in his actions to do what he thinks is right,There is no such word as fear in his dictionary.

　　【参考译文】

　　海明威经常把勇气看作是一个人面对死亡时保持冷静和控制的能力，他的主题在他的小说《丧钟为谁而鸣》中呈现。故事《老人与海》，在我们的教科书《一天的等待》中，由于误解了一个不同的温度计，这个男孩以为他在发高烧，很快就会死去，但他勇敢地接受了死亡，静静地等待着，男孩向我们展示了他有勇气。

　　我认为这样一个定义的勇气是远远不够的。勇气不应该是有限的，只有死亡。在平凡的生活中有共同的东西，也可看出一个人的勇气。比如，在公共汽车上，一个小偷在偷一个女孩的钱包。有人看见它，但保持安静。他们害怕被报复的小偷。勇敢的站出来制止小偷。

　　勇气意味着真理和正义的我，在一个很高的位置经常听到赞扬他的歌的人。有些人是真诚的。有的只是奉承上级自己青睐。领导人还需要勇气，以及那些有勇气去批评他欢迎批评。这种勇气来自相互理解。我觉得一个有勇气的人将真理和正义的价值，他会毫不犹豫地行动做他认为正确的事，没有这样的词的恐惧在他的字典。
