美国英语作文 篇1

　　The Americans are much in love with food. This is part of being American too. Baseball is Americans' national pastime1, but what's a ball game without hot dogs, peanuts2 and Cracker Jacks (sweetened popcorn3)? Hollywood is America's symbol of glamour4 and excitement all over the world, but who would watch a movie in America without asking for an extra large bag of popcorn? And the astronauts took instant orange drink [Tang] with them.

　　Americans love all kinds of food, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Greek, French, Japanese and many others. The Americans are in fact

　　“The UN of Food.”

　　To get familiar with the American eating custom, one must know two things. First, one must know the sequence5 of service. There is something special in terms of the sequence, or order, of dish service in America compared with ours. Here is the order:

　　1. Aperitif6—a small cup of alcoholic drink to increase one's appetite7. The host or hostess will ask: “Do you like a cup of aperitif?”

　　2. Hors d'oeuvre8—some tasty food offered in small quantities at the beginning of a meal.

　　3. Appetizer —or called starter, it is a small serving of juice, fruit or seafood or something else, at the beginning of a meal, to stimulate9 people's appetite.

　　4. Now the main course is under way:

　　a) Soup—it is usually the first course in a dinner.

　　b) Fish—it is usually served after the soup and before the entree10 in a formal meal.

　　c) Entree—the third course of a meal, generally it is made up of a hot meat.

　　d) Savory11—the last course in a formal meal, it is something pleasant to eat but with a salty rather than sweet taste.

　　5. Dessert12 —sweet food served toward the end of a meal, usually it is a pudding, chocolate cake, or cheese and biscuits sometimes.

　　6. Coffee—that's the last stage in a formal present-day European and American dinner. It's served either at table or in the living room.

　　In a family treatment, the above-mentioned No 1-3 stage may be omitted13, though No 4 is the essential part. And the main course generally includes no more than 5 dishes of nutrient14 food. Ostentation15 is never under consideration.

　　Another thing to mention is that serving oneself from one's own plate is popular in Europe and America, except for the soup and bread which is taken and enjoyed according to one's need.

　　The second one we must know about the American eating custom is the taboos at table.

　　(1) Don't circle your plate with your arm. If you do so, you will become the focus16 of the table. Everyone would wonder: “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a false message that you don't like the food or something like that.

　　(2) Don't push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you mean to remind17 the hostess that you've just completed a labor?

　　(3)Don't lean18 back and announce that “I'm through” or “I'm stuffed19.” Just put the fork and knife quietly across the plate, that's all.

　　(4) Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites20 at a time.

　　(5) Never take huge mouthfuls of anything. Do you mean to show how hungry you are? Don't do that! Be gentlemanlike or ladylike.

　　(6) Don't crook21 your finger when picking up a cup or glass. That looks too affected22, far from ladylike!

　　(7) Never wear too much lipstick23 to the table. It may stain the napkins24 and look gaudy25 and embarrassing on the rims26 of the cup or glass.

　　(8) It's never acceptable to reach across the table for anything (a serving dish, for example). If the item you want is not at hand, simply ask for the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, would you mind passing me the butter (or a dish)?”

　　Chinese Families and American Families

　　提纲

　　1。 中国家庭与美国家庭的共性。

　　2。 中国家庭与美国家庭的个性。

　　Both Chinese families and American families are smaller than they used to be。 Most young Chinese parents have only one child， while young Americans also prefer to have fewer children than their parents have。

　　However， unlike the Chinese young people， many young American couples think it is not easy to get along with their parents。 They will leave their parents and have their own homes once they get married。 Many of them would almost never live with their parents again。 It is a sad thing indeed。

　　Things are different in China。 Both the young and the old admit the problems between them， but they will try to understand each other。 Besides， sons and daughters in China will feel that they must take care of their old parents while old people cannot help wanting to do some thing for their busy children。 So it is still very common in today's China to see married sons and daughters living with their parents。 However， China no longer has families where four generations live under the same roof。

　　Caucus goers met at sites around the state to show support for their candidate and be counted in the first contest of the 20xx Presidential nominating cycle.

　　This year the Iowa caucuses drew many first-time caucus-goers.

　　John Clark is one of them. He says that he took the time to caucus in order to make his voice heard.

　　"I feel like it's part of being American as you get the chance to do this, you get the chance to say what you believe in, and have a voice and vote."

　　Thanking his supporters, Ted Cruz relished in a major victory over Donald Trump, the national poll leader.

　　"Iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee in the next president of the United States will not be chosen by the media, will not be chosen by the Washington establishment, will not be chose by the lobbyists but will be chosen by the most incredible power for force where all sovereignty resides in our nation by we the people, the American people."

　　Trump is a controversial figure among Iowa voters.

　　"I think he can bring the rights to change the government back to the people."

　　"I can say I will not be supporting Trump. Our views just don't agree. I believe in equality and respect for all people and I don't think he does."

　　Despite a disappointing second place finish for the often bombastic real-estate mogul, Trump was gracious in conceding defeat.

　　"I am really honored. And I want to congratulate Ted and I want to congratulate all of the incredible candidates including Mike Huckabee."

　　Analysts say that Florida Senator Marco Rubio is likely to enjoy increased momentum going forward.

　　Rubio finished a solid third, just one percentage point behind Trump but well ahead of the rest of the GOP field.

　　Hillary Clinton endured a nail-biter of a night that finished in a virtual tie with Bernie Sanders.

　　Clinton says she will keep fighting on in her address to supporters.

　　"I want you to know I will keep doing what I have done my entire life. I will keep standing up for you. I will keep fighting for you. I will always work to achieve the America that I believe in where the promise of that dream that we hold out to our children and our grandchildren never fades but inspires generations to come. Join me, let's go win the nomination."

　　Although for many, tonight is just the beginning of a long slog to the two major parties national conventions in August, it also marks the end of the line for candidates who failed to gain traction.

　　Two contenders: Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, dropped out after poor showings today in Iowa.

　　他是如此的英俊和勇敢,更为重要的是,他为正义而战,这使得他成为一个充满魅力的人。

　　我会支持这部电影,美国队长是我的英雄。

　　Music 美国人的音乐爱好

　　James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans——even those without a musical bone in their bodies——have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."

　　一位美国早期的作家柯柏(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说：「美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。」如果这话曾经是事实，今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部份的美国人，甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的音乐型态。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其它的流行音乐则是「在美国制造」的。

　　Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and life's hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins——also known as fiddles——give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

　　乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

　　Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

　　爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。
