击剑的英语作文

Fencing is my favourite sport. It is one of the most noble sports of all times. The history of fencing can be traced back to the Medieval times, when the adeptness in wielding a sword was essential to the everyday life of a noble. Although it is a difficult sport, I find it interesting and beneficial. I am happy when I practice fencing because it brings me back to the ancient times. Also, practicing this sport increases my physical strength as well as my mental strength. It is challenging because of its high demand for a person's mental concentration. Now I am able to concentrate for a longer amount of time than I could before. Overall, fencing both brings me pride in sportsmanship and helps me succeed in academics.

The crowd cheered. Then the second-place man sliced a fly into quarters. A hush fell in anticipation of the world's greatest swordsman. His blade came down in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd was aghast. The greatest swordsman had missed his target completely, yet he continued to smile. "Why are you so happy?" someone yelled. "You missed!" "Ah," replied the swordsman, "you weren't watching very carefully. They fly lives, yes - but he will never be a father." 世界上最伟大的击剑手 在一场世界最佳击剑手表演中，排名第三的击剑手上场了。一只苍蝇放了出来，剑划了一个弧，他将苍蝇劈成了两半。观众欢呼起来。紧接着排名第二的人将一只苍蝇切成了四半。现场一阵沉默，人们期盼着世界上最伟大的击剑手出场。 他的剑锋以一个巨大的弧线划了下来－－然而那只昆虫还在继续飞行!观众被惊呆了。最伟大的击剑手完全错过了他的目标，然而他还在微笑着。 “你为什么这么高兴？”有人嚷道，“你没击中!” “啊，”剑手答道，“你刚才没有很仔细地看。苍蝇还活着，是的－－但他永远也做不成爸爸了。” ————————————————————————————————————————— 2.A Mistake An American, a Scot and a Canadian were killed in a car accident.

功名利禄是把双刃剑作文：求取功名的日子,可谓穷极人性之势利能事,把腰弯到了极限,把脸都笑得变形了,至今还没有恢复以往的慷慨和正气,朋友一见到我就问你的脸还要不要,你的骨头还能不能伸直,我只有苦笑,一脸的愤慨,一脸的不屑:哼,你们懂什么,人生就是战场,当击剑问天苦无路时,抱守圣人诗经和手持依天屠龙都是碌碌庸庸,终生不得志,纵有经天纬地之才和梅松竹菊之节操也是社会一冷眼人,从某种程度上说也是一无用的垃圾,古人所说:文籍虽满腹,不如一囊钱,正是这个道理.你这也看不习惯,那也是横眉冷眼高高在一旁,绝对不肯抵眉折腰事权贵,你的价值何在,你空有浩天之志也是流于青烟历史灰尘之中. 如果我选择了权贵,要释放自我的能量,我就要把阵地打造好,不管用什么方式什么途径,唯生产力理论,发展才是硬道理,没有什么事能比自我遂意更称人心,所以,我把势利作为求取功名的梯子,我不愿以一时清高之势变成终生无为,这是一种生存观,不管你认可与否,我还是能把自己的剑拔出来用,人失去的是一些挺拔,换回的却是我的剑自此不会生锈,你要怎么看待就随便说罢. 总之,没有直接通往一切如意的通畅大道,一切付出都要有回收,在任何领域,价值规律都是起作用的,所以,我放弃了一种看来好看却没有多少价值的高尚,通过一种暂时的人性压抑换回我的长远的施展,我愿意.有此便要失彼, 何苦要责备我的选择.

About Fencing （Olympic sport since 1896） Take the romantic, swashbuckling epics of Errol Flynn, add some rules, protective clothing and an electronic scoring system, and you have fencing at the Olympic Games. Two rivals stand opposite each other and feint, lunge, parry and riposte until one scores the required number of hits to win. Evolved from the ancient form of combat, fencing is one of only four sports that has been featured at every modern Olympic Games. It was the first to include recognised professionals in a medals competition after modern Olympic Games founder Pierre de Coubertin arranged special events for professional fencing "masters" in the original 1896 and 1900 competitions. The clothing has become so protective, though, that officials modified masks a few years ago to return a "human face" to the event. Fine, but for intense reality, the 1924 team foil competition still wins: After the Olympic Games, an Italian and a Hungarian settled a scoring controversy with a real duel.
