诚实的英语作文(1)

“一言既出,驷马难追。”这活相信大家都听过。意思就是一句话说出了口,就是套四匹马的车也追不上。也就是说,不能撒谎,要讲诚信,有个词就叫诚实守信。关于诚信这样的名言还有很多;“遵守诺言就想抱为你的荣誉一样。”等等。

在我小时候,我“学会”了撒谎,撒谎是小孩子们都有试过吧!在我撒谎时爸爸会耐心的教育我不要撒谎,可有时我觉得控制不住自己,还是改不了。爸爸只好拿出他的“杀手锏”了——跟我讲故事。

内容是这样的:故事讲述了一个小女孩多次撒谎欺骗她的朋友,最终那个女孩终于知道了不讲诚信的后果,但却再也无法挽回了。富兰克林曾说过:“失足,你你可以马上恢复站立;失信,你也许永难挽回。”这句话不正符合这个故事吗?如果摔倒了,还可以恢复站立;如果失去了别人对你的信任,你也许永远都无法挽回,无法拯救。

所以说,只有诚实守信,别人才会尊重你,喜欢你,对你爱戴,不会讨厌你,信任你。

我有很多朋友,但是,最要好的朋友还是宋佳慧。她,瘦瘦的个子,一头乌黑的头发。长着一双机灵的大眼,薄薄的嘴唇。还有一张能说会道的小嘴巴,一笑起来还有两个浅浅的酒窝。她两支小辫子,走起路来一甩一甩的,非常漂亮!

我和宋佳慧是形影不离的好朋友,我们一起上学,在一起学作文,一起写作业。

她最大的特点就是乐于助人。有一次,我的铅笔盒忘带了,我借了许多人的笔,他们都不给我用,最后,我向宋佳慧借,她高兴的答应了。下课以后,我对她说:“谢谢你,宋佳慧!”她笑嘻嘻的说:“不用谢,好朋友之间就应该互相帮助。”

她还特别爱好体育活动。记得有一次体育课上,我和宋佳慧还有许多同学一起玩扔沙包的游戏,我和宋佳慧是攻击方,她在场上欢蹦乱跳的,但是每一次都打不中,而且总是把沙包扔的很远。下课铃响了,我们玩的满头大汗,气喘吁吁。“下一节课继续玩!”宋佳慧说。

宋佳慧不仅人长得漂亮,而且诚实善良,乐于助人,聪明活泼。这就是我的好朋友。我想我们现在是朋友,将来永远都是朋友。让这份真挚的友谊陪伴我们一起成长。

对于大多数中国人来说,对于“狼来了”的故事都十分熟悉。我们从小便被告知要为人诚实。

However,as we grow up,we find that it is difficult to be honest all the time.Sometimes,we are forced to tell lies,and other times,we find people who are dishonest can enjoy great pleasures,while honest people have to suffer failures.And still there are times when we have to tell lies in order not to hurt others.Consequently,people wonder whether honesty is going out of style.

然而,在我们成长的过程中,我们发现要想做到永远诚实实在是非常困难。有时,我们被迫去撒谎,还有些时候,我们发现不诚实的人得到了利益而诚实的人得到的却是失败。而且在一些时候为了不伤害他人我们不得不撒谎。因此,人们在困惑诚实是否已经过时了呢?

As far as I'm concerned,honesty should always be an important feature valued by Chinese people.We should try our best to avoid telling lies (even white lies).Only in this way,is a fair society awaiting us.

在我看来,诚实应该成为中国人所推崇的一种品性。我们应该尽量避免撒谎(即使是善意的谎言)。只有这样,我们才能迎来一个公正的社会。

首先,诚实一直是当今社会的主流,那些真诚的人得到尊敬。相反,不诚实的人会受到他人的排斥。其次,不管是在日常生活中还是在生意场上,人们都喜欢和诚实的人建立关系。诚实是真正友谊的基础。在生意场上,那些以诚实为代价去赚钱的人某一天一定会付出代价的。最后,诚实应该成为我们性格的一部分,我们应该把它看做是我们最宝贵的财富。它不仅给你带来物质利益,而且你的精神会更富裕。

I refuse.So I ran home like a smoke.The younger brother came home and took out one yuan from the savings jar,rushed to Aunt Zhang with lightning speed,bought a big and round egg,ran carefully to Grandma Wang,and said sincerely,"I'm sorry,Grandma Wang,I just smashed the egg laid by your hen.I compensate you for this egg.Please forgive me." Grandma Wang listened and said with a smile,"you are really a good honest child.I don't want to lay eggs.This should be my reward for you brave child.Take it back."

诚实的英语作文(11)

There is a proverb that goes "Honesty is the best policy." and it seems as true as it was when it was first coined.The most important element in human relationships,whether business or personal,is trust.If you break that trust and are found out,the relationship will be damaged or destroyed.Furthermore,if your dishonesty is not discovered,you will have to go to great lengths to conceal it.

有一句谚语说:“诚为上策”,它似乎是真的,因为它是第一个创造的。人际关系中最重要的因素,无论是企业还是个人,都是信任的。如果你打破了信任,并被发现,关系将被破坏或破坏。此外,如果你的不诚实是没有被发现的,你将不得不竭尽全力去隐藏它。

A breach of trust can quickly grow as you tell lie after lie in an effort to conceal your original deceit.Soon even you may be unable to distinguish the truth.Thus it is better to stick to the truth.However,telling lies is often a way of communicating appropriately with oters.This kind of lying is not morally wrong and does not affect our integrity as good human beings.For example,there is a polite formula we use when we meet a person for the first time.We say,"Your name has been ringing in my ears for a long time."when in fact we have never heard of the person before.But without these nice words,the conversation might not start well.When we meet someone we don‘t know,we say,"Nice to meet you!" Perhaps actually we are not so pleased to meet them.But this kind of expression is indispensable in creating a friendly atmosphere.Sometimes for the ske of politeness,we are obliged to take our feelings.

一个信任的违约可以迅速成长,因为你告诉谎言后,在努力隐瞒你原来的欺骗。很快,即使你可能无法区分真相。因此,坚持真理是更好的。然而,谎言往往是一种方式,适当的沟通。这种说谎在道德上是错误的,并不会影响我们的完整性,良好的人类。例如,当我们第一次遇到一个人时,有一个礼貌的公式。我们说:“你的名字在我的耳边回响了很长一段时间。”当事实上我们从来没有听说过的人。但如果没有这些好的话,谈话可能不会开始很好。当我们遇到一个我们不知道的人时,我们说:“很高兴见到你!”也许事实上,我们不太高兴见到他们。但这种表达是必不可少的创造一个友好的气氛。有时出于礼貌,我们不得不把我们的感情。

It is practically unwise to be honest all the time especially when we are dealing with dishonest people.To be dishonest with them does not hurt our credibility.So long as we don‘t hurt others,telling lies is an acceptable practice.Therefore,we can say that honesty is not always the best policy.It depends.

一直诚实是不明智的,尤其是当我们在和不诚实的人打交道的时候,是不明智的诚实,不损害我们的信誉。只要我们不伤害别人,说谎是一种可以接受的做法。因此,我们可以说,诚实并不总是最好的政策。是要看情况的。

One day he went to the forest to cut wood as usual.After he had done some work,he sat on the bank of the river to rest.His axe fell into the water and it was the only one he had.He was not able to get it back from the river,so he began to cry.

The God Hermes appeared and asked him why he was crying.The woodcutter told him that his only axe had fallen into the river and that he was not able to get it back.

Hermes felt sorry for him,so he jumped into the water and brought up a gold axe.He said to the woodcutter,"Is this your axe?”The man an-swered,"No,it isn't.Hermes jumped again and came up with a silver axe and gave it to the woodcutter.But the honest woodcutter would not take it because it was not his.So the God Hermes went down into the water for the third time and brought up the man's own axe.The man was very happy.He thanked Hermes and took the axe.Hermes was so pleased with the honesty of this poor man that he gave him both the gold and the silver axes as presents.

When the woodcutter joined his friends,he told them how Hermes had helped him to get his axe and how he had given him the other two axes.One of his friends thought that it would be a good idea to do the same,so he went to the river and dropped his axe into the water on pur-pose.Then he sat down and cried.Hermes appeared and asked him why he was crying.He answered that his axe had fallen into the river.

Hermes dived and brought him a gold axe and asked him if it was his.The man took it and said,"Yes,it's mine."Hermes was angry with the man because he was lying,so he took away the gold axe and did not even bring him back his own axe.

参考译文:

从前有一个穷人住在河边的村庄里。他是个樵夫。他过去常常到森林去砍柴卖钱。

有一天,他像往常一样到森林里去砍柴。 他砍了一会儿以后坐在河岸边休息。 他的斧子掉到了河里,这是他拥有的惟一的一把斧子。 他没法从河里取回斧子,所以就开始哭了起来。

神仙赫耳墨斯出现了,问他为什么哭。 樵夫告诉神仙他惟一的一把斧子掉到了河里,他没法捞上来。

赫耳墨斯为他感到难过,于是他跳进水里,拿上来一把金斧子。 他问樵夫:“这是你的斧子吗?”樵夫回答:“不,不是。”赫耳墨斯又跳进水里,出来时拿着一把银斧子。他把他交给樵夫,但是诚实的樵夫不要,因为那不是他的。 于是神仙赫耳墨斯第三次跳进水里,取回了樵夫的斧子。 樵夫非常高兴,感谢了赫耳墨斯,留下了自己的斧子。 赫耳墨斯对穷樵夫的诚实感到非常满意,因此他把金斧子和银斧子作为礼物送给了樵夫。

当樵夫与朋友们聚在一起时,他把赫耳墨斯如何帮他取回斧子并将另外两把斧子送给他的经过告诉了他们。他的一个朋友想,跟樵夫做同样的事是个好主意。于是他来到河边,故意把斧子丢到河里。然后坐下来开始哭。赫耳墨斯出现了,问他为什么哭。他回答说他的斧子掉到了河里。

赫耳墨斯跳进水里,带回一把金斧子,问他这是不是他的。那人拿了金斧子说:“是,它是我的。”赫耳墨斯对他非常生气。 因为他说谎。 于是他拿走了那把金斧子,甚至连那人自己的斧子也不为他取回了。

有一天,我闲得无聊,用刀在桌子的角落刮了几个。妈妈发现了,立即命令我和两个妹妹过来,严厉的妈妈啊,大声道:“谁打破了办公桌的桌面上。“我感到非常难过,我想:如果我告诉她,因为她习惯了,肯定会打我,但她说,犯了一个错误,它不不要紧,只要老实交代是好女孩。于是我鼓起勇气站起来说:“是我。”没想到,她不但没有批评我,反而表扬了我的诚实。


诚实的英语作文(18)

【中文语料】

世界上大部分甚至所有的文化和宗教都将诚实称赞为一种美德。如果要刘局出我们希望能在朋友或恋人身上扎到的一些品质,很多人都会把诚实列在首位。事实上,很多人也行认为诚实是其他人的事,而与自己无关。但是考虑到撒谎和欺骗会带来不良影响,我认为诚实会为自己带来的是最大的利益。

一方面,不诚实对心里健康也会带来严重的负面影响。不诚实的人即使他们尚未被“发现”,也会在心里承受内疚感和羞耻感。这是因为,尽管撒谎是不道德的,不部分撒谎的人内心深处还是有道德观念的。另一方面,那些做出误导或欺骗行为的人是迟早要被揭穿的。当然,一次次的谎言也学都可能会侥幸不被发现。但是,一旦发现,撒谎的人面临的可能就是巨大的损失,甚至导致他们身败名裂。根据欺诈的性质,有些人的谎言被揭露后,可能意味着失去工作,众叛亲离甚至有可能要蹲监狱。

总体而言,虽然我们周边的欺诈行为不可能被清除,但是我们可以决定自己是否要做一个诚实的人,城市到什么程度。考虑到撒谎带来的不良影响——包括损害精神健康以及受到惨重的损失,毋庸置疑,做一诚实的人是我们唯一的选择。

【参考范文】

Honesty is regarded as a virtue by most, if not all, of the world's cultures and religions. Many of us, if asked to enumerate the qualities we seek in a friend or a partner, would place honesty at the top of the list. In reality, many people seem to think that being honest is for others and not for themselves. However, I believe that, given the negative consequences of lying and deception, practicing honesty is in our own best interest.

For one thing, being dishonest can have serious side-effects on our mental health. Dishonest people even if they have not yet been “found out”, are likely to carry guilt and shame inside them. This is because, although lying is an immoral, most liars still have a conscience deep down inside. For another thing, those who misleads or lie to others are bound to be caught sooner or later. Indeed, people may get away with lying once or even several times. However, the one time that they get caught could entail great loss, or even spell their downfall. Depending on the nature of deception, having one's lies could mean losing one's job, being deserted by friends and family, or even spending time in jail.

Generally speaking, while it may be impossible to eliminate the deceit that exists around us, each of us can decide whether, and to what extent, to practice truthfulness ourselves. Considering the adverse influence that lying can have——including destroying our mental heath and , ultimately, causing us to suffer great loss——it is apparent that honesty is our only viable option.

英语作文写技巧:

1. 灵活改变句子开头

在通常情况下,英语句子的排列方式为“主语+谓语+宾语”,即主语位于句子开头。但若根据情况适当改变句子的开头方式,比如使用倒状语或以状语开头等,会使文章增强表现力。如:

(1) There stands an old temple at the top of the hill.

→ At the top of the hill there stands an old temple.

在小山顶上有一座古庙。

(2) You can do it well only in this way.

→ Only in this way can you do it well.

只有这样你才能把它做好。

(3) A young woman sat by the window.

→ By the window sat a young woman.

窗户边坐着一个年轻妇女。

2. 避免重复使用同一词语

为了使表达更生动,更富表现力,同学们在写作时应尽量避免重复使用同一词语来表示同一意思,尤其是一些老生常谈的词语。如有的同学一看到“喜欢”二字,就会立刻想起like,事实上,英语中表示类似意思的词和短语很多,如 love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate, be fond of, care for等。如:

I like reading while my brother likes watching television.

→ I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.

我喜欢看书,而我的兄弟却喜欢看电视。

3. 合理使用省略句

合理恰当地使用省略句,不仅可以使文章精练、简洁,而且会使文章更具文采和可读性。如:

(1) He may be busy. If he’s busy, I’ll call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?

→ He may be busy. If so, I’ll call later. If not, can I see him now?

他可能很忙,要是这样,我以后再来拜访。要是不忙,我现在可以见他吗?

(2) If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If it is not fine, we’ll not go.

→ If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If not, not.

如果天气好,我们就去;如果天气不好,我们就不去了。

(3) She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t do so.

→ She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t.

她本可申请这份工作的,但她没有。

4. 适当运用非谓语结构

非谓语结构通常被认为是一种高级结构,适当运用非谓语结构,会给人一种熟练驾驭语言的印象。如:

(1) When he heard the news, they all jumped for joy.

→ Hearing the news, they all jumped for joy.

听了这消息他们都高兴得跳了起来。

(2) As I didn’t know her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

→ Not knowing her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

由于不知道她的地址,我没法和她联系。

(3) As he was born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

→ Born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

他出生农民家庭,只上过两年学。

5. 结合使用长句与短句

在英语写作中,过多地使用长句或过多地使用短句都不好。正确的做法是,根据实际情况在文章中交替使用长句与短语,使文章显得错落有致,这样不仅使文章在形式上增加美感,而且使文章读起来铿锵有力。如:

At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.

→ At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.

中午我们晒着太阳吃野餐。休息一会儿后,我们唱的唱歌,跳的跳舞,还有的讲笑话、下棋,大家玩得很开心。

6. 适当使用短语代替单词

(1) He has decided to be a teacher when he grows up.

→ He has made up his mind to be a teacher when he grows up.

他已决定长大了当老师。

(2) He doesn't like music.

→ He doesn't care much for music.

他不大喜欢音乐。

(3) He told me that the question was now under discussion.

→ He told me that the question was now being discussed.

他告诉我问题现正正在讨论中。
