《家》
有人说，家是倦鸟的归巢；
有人说，家是避风的港湾；
有人说，家是父亲撑起的一片天；
有人说，家是母亲在雨中撑起的那把雨伞；
有人说，家是清晨飘渺升起的炊烟，
有人说，家是孩童梦想的摇篮；
有人说，家是漂泊异乡长长的思念；
有人说，家是绵延不绝爱的源泉；
有人说，家是牵着风筝的那条线；
家，是每个人永远、永远的眷恋、、、、、、

七、Home 家
What makes a home? Love and sympathy and confidence. It is a place where kindly affections exist among all the members of the family. The parents take good care of their children,and the children are interested in the activities of their parents. Thus all ofthem are bound together by affection, and they find their home to be the cheeriest place in the world.
组成家庭的因素是什么？家庭即爱，认同和依赖．家是一个所有家庭成员凝结情感的地方．父母亲悉心照料孩子，孩子们也对他们双亲的活动感兴趣，他们为爱所凝结，因而感到家是世界上最令人欢乐的地方。
A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is a man. Every civilized person is a social being. No one should live alone. A man may lead a successful and prosperous life, but prosperity alone can by no means insure happiness.
一个没有爱的家便不再称其为家，如同没有灵魂的躯体不再是人一样．每一个有修养的人都是社会性的人，没有人能够脱离社会独自生存．一个人也许过着成功而宽裕的生活，但是荣华富贵并不能保证幸福快乐．在世界历史上，许多名人都对其家人怀有深情厚意。
Many great personages in the world history had deep affections for their homes. Your home may be poor and humble, but your duty lies there. You should try to make it cheerful and comfortable. The greater the difficulties, the richer will be your reward. A home is more than a family dwelling. It is a school in which people are trained for citizenship. A man will not render good service to his country if he can do nothing good for his home; for in proportion as he loves his home, will he love his country. The home is the birth place of true patriotism. It is the secret of social welfare and national greatness. It is the basis and origin of civilization.
你的家也许贫穷而简陋，但那正是你的职责所在，你应该努力使其愉快而舒适．你遭遇的困难越大，所得到的报偿也就越多。家不仅仅是一个供家人居住的地方，它还是一个培养人们成为公民的场所．一个人如果不能对家人做出有意义的事情，也就无法为国家提供优良的服务，因为爱家和爱国是成正比的，家庭是爱国主义精神的真正发源地，是社会福利和国家昌盛的秘诀，是文明的基础和起源。
