九年级英语作文：What Is Success?

　　注意不同语言的表达习惯，也是写好中考英语作文的重要环节，如“我的理想是做一名建筑师”，很多同学写成“My ambition is to do/make an architect”，“to do”表示“做”或者“干”，“to make”表示“制作”，而“做一名建筑师”则表示“成为一名建筑师”应该用“be/become an architect”;又如“看书、看报”应用“read a book/newspaper”，而不是“see a book/newspaper”。因此，平时应该注意不同语言的表达习惯，望文生义或一味生搬硬套只会闹出“我的理想是制作一名建筑师”的笑话。

　　What is success? I think different people will have different answers. Some people think that success is earning a great deal of money or working in the government. Or success is nothing but we look for all the time. In my opinion, success is quite simple. It means you can live the life you want and you can feel happiness very often. Sometime, money cannot bring you happiness or satisfaction, and you can’t have the feeling of success. Because money is just the tool to achieve your goal but never the goal. Therefore, looking for what you really want and then work hard for it. Then you are close to success.

　　什么是成功?我想这是一个仁者见仁智者见智的问题。有的人认为，赚很多的钱或者在政府部门任职就是成功，又或者成功并不是什么东西，但我们却对它孜孜以求。我认为，成功很简单，那就是你能过上你想要的生活，并能常常感觉到幸福。有的时候，金钱并不能带给你幸福感或满足感，那也就不能感觉到幸福了，因为金钱只是你实现目标的工具而不是终极目标。因此，知道自己想要的，然后为之努力，那你也就离成功不远了。
