參考范文
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” The remark means that every day is closely related to another, for yesterday leaves us valuable experience that we can take advantage of for today and tomorrow; today is the time that we learn from yesterday and experience new life, making good preparations for tomorrow; tomorrow is the future that we are eager to experience based on yesterday and today. It informs us that we should make our past, present and future days worthwhile. 1
What will we do to make it so? 2
From my own perspective, seize every day. 3 Yesterday is a foundation. You may say yesterday is history, but if you seize it, there’s no regret and you lay solid foundation for future days. 4 Today is action. You may say today is too short but that is the reality. If you seize today, you’ll have done what you should do and make progress, going close to success. 4 Tomorrow is a plan. You may say tomorrow is changeable but it is mysterious, full of hope. Although we don’t know what will happen tomorrow, we can make good preparations for greater success. 4 Seize every day and you’ll make the past, present and future days worthwhile. 5
“借鑒昨天,活在今天,憧憬明天?!边@句話是說,每天都緊密相連,因為昨天留下的是我們可用于今天和明天的寶貴經(jīng)驗;今天是我們借鑒昨天、體驗新生活的時間,并為明天做好準備;明天是建立在昨天和今天之上,我們渴望去體驗的將來時間。這啟示我們應(yīng)該把握好過去、現(xiàn)在和將來。
如何把握好過去、現(xiàn)在和將來?
我個人的觀點是:抓住每一天。昨天是基礎(chǔ)。你也許會說,昨天已成歷史,但是你若抓住了昨天,就不會有遺憾,也就為將來奠定了堅實的基礎(chǔ)。今天是行動。你或許會說今天太短暫了,但它卻是現(xiàn)實。如果你抓住了今天,你就完成了應(yīng)該做的事情并取得進步,逐步走向成功。明天是計劃。你或許會說,明天變化無常但它卻是神秘的,充滿了希望。盡管我們不知道明天會發(fā)生什么,但我們可以做好準備,爭取更大的成功。抓住每一天,你就把握了過去、現(xiàn)在和將來。

句法點評
1. The remark means that every day is closely related to another, for yesterday leaves us valuable experience that we can take advantage of for today and tomorrow; today is the time that we learn from yesterday and experience new life, making good preparations for tomorrow; tomorrow is the future that we are eager to experience based on yesterday and today.
本句是一個較復(fù)雜的句子,that引導的從句有賓語從句that every day is closely related to another,有定語從句that we can take advantage of for today and tomorrow和that we are eager to experience. 也有同位語從句that we learn from yesterday and experience new life,同時還用到了現(xiàn)在分詞短語making good preparations和過去分詞短語based on yesterday and today,句式結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜多樣。
2. Seize every day and you’ll make the past, present and future days worthwhile.
本句為“祈使句+ and +陳述句”的結(jié)構(gòu),其中的祈使句的功能相當于條件狀語從句,如本句可以轉(zhuǎn)化為If you seize every day, you’ll make the past, present and future days worthwhile。
