他们发现无论是潺潺小溪，还是浩荡大河，都一去不复返，流逝之际青年变成了老翁而绿草转眼就枯黄，很自然有错阴的紧迫感。流逝也许是缓慢的，但无论如何缓慢，对流逝的恐惧使人们必须用“流逝”这个词来时时警戒后人，必须急匆匆地行动，给这个词灌注一种紧张感。

they realised that both the babbling brook and the mighty river

would flow on, and that their waters would never return. they

found that as time passed by, young men would become old

and the green grass would turn yellow and wither in almost the

blink of an eye. a sense of urgency naturally arose over the

elusiveness of time. no matter how slowly time flowed, the

very fear of its transiency compelled people to use the word

“passage”to warn the coming generations of the necessity of

taking prompt action; thus instilling the word with a sense of

tension.

作文部分

do it, but with love and sincerity

the year 2014 witness target=_blank

class=infotextkeywitnessed the birth and boom of an activity

online and offline both at home and abroad: the ice bucket

challenge. originally designed to attract public attention to the

disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als), the practice has

aroused a heated debate during its development. there exist

opposing views on this matter. proponents, represented by the

als association, claim that it is beneficial and praiseworthy, for

it substantially increased donations for sufferers of the

disease. opponents, however, argue that it wastes water, does

harm to one’s body and risks becoming a form of

entertainment or commercial advertisement. personally, i deem that both sides have an element of truth in

their arguments and the issue should not be addressed in a

simple and crude way.

on the one hand, no one can deny the fact that the practice

has benefited patients of als. many people have not only

donated money but also begun to learn about the disease and

pay more attention to it.

on the other hand, however, the activity does seem to have

deviated from its original purpose. as we have heeded, quite a

number of the attendants got involved to attract eyeballs to

themselves, rather than the disease. most remain ignorant

about the disease though bombarded by pictures of celebrities

soaked in iced water that went viral online.

in the final analysis, i should say that the activity is a two-edged sword. but we should not give up eating for fear of

being choked. the best policy, as i see it, is to take measures

to avoid the harm done by it. for instance, a campaign should

be launched at the same time to provide people with more

knowledge about the disease, and encourage them to help

those in need with love and integrity. besides, the activity can

well take a different form in drought-stricken regions.
