I woke up in this clear, early wintermorning and was attracted by the scenery outside my window. Everything wasembraced by the heavy mist; the rays of the rising sun and the serene heavenwere dissolved into the lavender mist, looming. The faint fragrance of dewdropshanging on the bare twigs tempted me into contemplation.

我在這晴朗的初冬早晨醒來，被窗外的景色吸引住。一切都被濃霧包圍住；升起的太陽的射線和寧靜的天堂溶解到薰衣草霧中，若隱若現(xiàn)。掛在赤裸的枝條上露珠淡淡的香味引我沉思。

My contemplation was about the question: towhom my thankfulness should pay on Thanksgiving Day.

我沉思的問題是關(guān)于在感恩節(jié)中我應該感謝誰呢。

Initially, I would thank my parents. It isthe parents who give me life and have played an unsubordinated role of theprocess of our language learning and walking. They used their warm palms toreceive me to come into this world; the very moment I opened my eyes, theirwide smiles were greeting me. They whispered the first word into my ears,softly; they held my hands to lead me to tread my first step, firmly. Althoughthe ability of learning language was innate, parents taught me how to speak andcommunicate; although my legs were inborn, parents assisted me to standuprightly and walk like a human. I have been appreciating to my parents, forthey lift my sorrow with their shoulders notwithstanding their own pressure.

首先，我要感謝我的父母。是父母給了我生命，并在我們語言學習和走路學習的過程中幫助我們。他們用自己的溫暖的手掌來迎接我來到這個世界；我睜開眼睛的那一刻，他們大大的笑容在給我打招呼。他們溫柔地把第一個字送進我的耳朵，輕輕地握著我的手來讓我邁出我的第一步。雖然學習語言的能力是天生的，但是父母教我如何說話和交流；雖然我的腿是天生的，但是父母幫助我站直并像人一樣走。我一直到都很欣賞我父母，因為他們雖然有自己壓力，但是他們用自己的肩膀撐起了我的悲傷。

Then, I would like to thank my experience,especially the bitter part of my life. I would thank the misery during mygrowing process, for it has taught me to treasure the limited happy moment; Iwould thank the loneliness due to the strong will and uncommon patience it hasgiven me.

然后，我要感謝我的經(jīng)歷，特別是我生命中的痛苦的那一部分。我要感謝在我的成長過程中的痛苦，因為它教會了我珍惜有限的快樂時刻；我想感謝孤獨因為它給了我堅強的意志和非凡的耐心。

Finally, the no less gratitude should begiven to my friends, classmates, and peers. I would thank those people who aremore excellent than me, for the simple reason that they set the example andgoal for me to surpass; simultaneously, I would pay my thankfulness to thosewho fall behind me because of the confidence which I gain from my exceedingposition. Definitely, I also thank the people who never fail to treat me kind andsmile at me. Through them, I have been encouraged and have seen thecharacteristic of humans’ softness.

最后，最后的感謝應該要給我的朋友，同學，和同事。我要感謝那些比我優(yōu)秀的人，理由很簡單，他們是我的榜樣和要超越的目標；同時，我要感謝那些落后于我的人，因為超過他們能讓我有信心。當然，我也感謝那些對我好，對我微笑的人。通過他們，我一直受到了鼓勵也看到了人們溫柔的個性。

Night began to fall; the daylight wasfading inches by inches. However, the appreciation I mentioned above would liein my deepest mind, never fade.

夜幕開始降臨；日光一點一點地消失。然而，我上面所提到的感激卻會永遠在我的內(nèi)心深處，永不褪色。
