英語作文大全

　　They say Make the best of a bad situation . But I believe the bad situation makes the best of you. Even the irritations of life can be useful. President Abraham Lincoln showed us how this is so.

　　One of his cabinet appointees, Edwin Stanton, frequently found flaws with the president and criticized him ---- sometimes in public. Lincoln seemed to show excessive patience with him. The president was asked why he kept such a man in a high level position.

　　Lincoln characteristically responded with a story. He told about a time he was visiting with an old farmer. He noticed a big horsefly biting the flank of the farmer s horse. Lincoln said he reached over to brush the fly away. As he did so, the farmer stopped him and cautioned, Don t do that, friend. That horsefly is the only thing keeping this old horse moving.

　　Even life s many irritations and problems have their place. They may cause us to change directions. Or prod us to greater achievement. Or keep us moving along when it s easier to go nowhere.

　　Are you simply making the best of a bad situation, or will it make the best of you?

　　他們說，做最壞的情況。但我相信逆境會讓你做到最好。即使生命的刺激也可能是有用的。亞伯拉罕林肯總統(tǒng)就向我們展示了這一點。

　　他被任命為內閣，埃德溫斯坦頓，經常發(fā)現(xiàn)總統(tǒng)的缺點并指責他--有時甚至在公共場合。林肯對他似乎一直都很忍讓?？偨y(tǒng)被問到為什么要把這樣一個人放在一個高水平的位置。

　　林肯的用很特別的故事回答他。他說有一次他去拜訪一個老農夫。他注意到一個大馬蠅在咬農夫旁邊的馬。林肯說他伸手把它趕走。當他這樣做的時候，農民攔住他，說，不這樣做，朋友。那只馬蠅是唯一能讓這匹老馬活動。

　　即使生活的許多煩惱和問題都有自己的用處。他們或許會讓我們改變方向?；虼偈刮覀內〉酶蟮某删汀；蛘咦屛覀円恢蓖埃斎ツ睦锒疾蝗菀椎臅r候。

　　你是在為最壞的情況做打算，還是會做最好的你？
