四十二天學會英語的模範短文 36-42
第三十六天：TO BE PATIENT 要忍耐
When someone disagrees with you or offends you, don』t lose your temper. Why? Because it is of no use to do so. You ought to (should) be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him. You must know that patience is not cowardice, but a virtue. I hope that everybody practices it.
In addition, patience will also bring us success. When you meet with difficulties in your work, it is no use losing heart. You must keep on fighting until (till) the final victory belongs to you.
當有人和你意見不同或開罪你的時候，你切不可發脾氣。為什麼？因為這樣做是無用的（用of no use）。你應當忍耐並且保持冷靜，唯恐和他爭吵。你必須知道忍耐不是弱而是一種美德。我希望人人都實行它。
另外，忍耐也會帶給我們成功。當你在工作中遭遇到困難的時候，灰心是無用的。你必須繼續作戰直到最後勝利屬於你為止。

第三十七天：SANITARY WAYS IN SUMMER 夏天的衛生方法
Not only is summer a hot season but also diseases are apt to happen. To us it is neither comfortable nor safe.
If we do not wish to get sick, we must pay attention to the following sanitary ways in summer.
Both fresh air and clean food are indispensable to us.
We must try our best to get (obtain) them.
We should take at least one bath every day.
Don』t wear dirty clothes.
In conclusion, if we can carry out the above – mentioned rules, we will neither get (take/fall) sick nor suffer pain.
夏天不僅是個炎熱的季節，而且疾病也容易發生。它對我們既不舒適也不安全。我們希望不生病，就得注意下面那些夏天衛生的方法。
新鮮空氣和乾淨的食物兩者對我們是不可缺少的。我們必須盡全力去獲得它們。
我們每天至少應當洗一個澡。
不要穿髒衣服。
總而言之，如果我們能實行上面所說的那些規則，我們既不會生病也不會吃苦。

第三十八天：WORK WHILE YOU WORK, PLAY WHILE YOU PLAY 工作時工作，遊玩時遊玩
Both work and play are necessary to us; the former gives us knowledge while the latter (gives) rest. An English proverb is well said: 「Work while you work play while you play.」 It makes our life pleasant, efficient and successful.
Work is one thing and play is another. It is of course not good to work all day long. However, it is also not good to play all day long. While you work, you should work in earnest. Then while you play, you will feel more relaxed and pleasant. That goes without saying.
工作和遊玩兩者對我們都是必須的，前者給我們知識，後者給我們休息。英諺說得好「工作時工作，遊玩時遊玩」。它使我們的生活愉快，有效率以及成功。
工作是一回事，遊玩又是另一回事。整日工作自然不好。然而，整天遊玩也是不好。當你工作時，你應認真工作。那末當你遊玩時，你會覺得比較輕鬆愉快。那是不需說的。

第三十九天：MY FAVORITE PASTIME 我心愛的消遣
It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health. In other words, we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.
There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements, such as playing ball games, collecting stamps, fishing, gardening, skating and so on.
As for (to) me, I take great delight in gardening. Whenever I am at leisure, I am accustomed to growing flowers. I regard them as my most agreeable companion.
不需說，工作而不休息會對健康有害的。換句話說，我們最好工作後，從事分的消遣來輕鬆一下。
無疑的，消遣的種類很多，諸如打球，集郵，釣魚，園藝，溜冰等等。
就我而言，我大大喜歡園藝。每當我有閒暇的時候，我習慣於種花。我把它們看作是我最稱心如意的伴侶。

第四十天：FACTORS OF SUCCESS 成功要素
I would rather suffer hardships than fail. In other words, to achieve success is my only desire. We all know that there are many factors of success. Now let me write down the most important ones in the following.
Diligence—Foolish as a person is, he can succeed in his work if he works hard. That does not admit of any doubt.
Perseverance—When you fail, don』t lose heart. Keep on working until you accomplish your aim.
Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your words, no one will rely on you. I would rather be scolded than cheat (others).
我寧願受苦難不願失敗。換句話說，獲致成功是我唯一的願望。我們大家知道成功要素很多。現在讓我們把它們最重要的寫在下面。
勤勉－－一個人雖然不大聰明，但是他地能做成他的工作，如果他苦幹的話。那是不容置疑的。
毅力－－當你失敗的時候，不要灰心。要繼續工作，直到你達到目的為止。
誠實－－如果你說謊或不守信，沒有人會信賴你。我寧願挨罵不願欺騙人。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
第四十一天：MY AIM 我的志向
Whatever a man』s status is (may be), he must have an aim. If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason.
However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them become our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society.
If my aim can come true, I hope (wish) to be a teacher. However, teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties (as a teacher).
不論人是什麼身份，他必須有一個志向。如果沒有的話，他很難立足於世上。那是顯而易見的。
不論名利如何重要，我們切不可讓它們成為我們生活之目標。我們應當志在做一些對社會有益的事情。
如果我的志向能實現的話，我就希望成為一個老師。然而，教書並不是一容易的事情。我必須專心學業以便能應因我的職責。

第四十二天：OUR NATIONAL FATHER 我的國父
There is no doubt that Dr. Sun Yat-Sen is the greatest man that I ever known in my whole life. He set up the Republic of China, so we call him our National Father.
He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. His aim was to liberate China from the hands of the Manchu Dynasty. He had not met with result, but he was not discouraged at all. As a result, he accomplished his end in the long run.
To sum up, his strong will and indomitable spirit are worth our worship and imitation (are worth our worshiping and imitating).
無疑的，中山先生是我一生知道的最大的人物。他建立中民國，所以我他為我的國父。
他致力革命凡四十年。他的目的是清朝手裡解放中國。他曾遭遇屢次的失敗，但他卻一點也不灰心。那是不需說的。結果，他終於達到目的。
總而言之，他堅強的意志和不屈不撓的精神（是）值得我們的崇拜和倣傚。
