写作思路:确立中心,围绕选材,确定重点,安排详略,选材时要注意紧紧围绕文章的中心思想,选择真实可信、新鲜有趣的材料,以使文章中心思想鲜明、深刻地表现出来,具体如下:
A Letter for Dear Nicolous CopernicusI have heard of you for a long time.I am a senior school student from Guangdong,China.
My name is Luzhiwei.I have know the changes,which you have made to the old theory,were revolutionary.And the new theory,which you have found,is better than the Christian idea.
I am sure that your new theory will replace the Christian idea,and you will also live happily.Science cannot develop unless people publish their idea.
I do hope that you can publish your new theory.If you publish your new idea,the science will be better and better.You know,under the powerful Christian Church's control,our human science cannot make a great progress.
I think that only your new idea can overthrow the Christian Church's old idea.You also have a brave and strong heart,too.
If advance bravely,you will be a great scientist.Ernest Hemingway said,"For a true person,he should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed,then sometimes,with good luck,he will succeed."And he also said,"Things may not be immediately discernible inwhat a man does."
If you publish your new idea,you have reduced the weight of a parcel by publishing your new theory out,and your youth will also be entrnal,because you have reduced your waste of worry.
Please think for a minute...Do you remember being afraid of the boogie man or monsters at night as a child?
But now that you are an adult,you know better than to be afraid of things that don't exist,right?It's amazing how you still have fears and worries about things that are not real like the man who said,'Worrying doesn't help.
Almost all the things I worry about never happen to be me!"The crazy thing is that worry and fear make you run from somthing that isn't even chasing you.Besides,worry only gives you wrinkles,which is just something else to worry about!
When you fear the future you are wasting the present.Besides today has enough trouble of its own.
So at night,give it your worries to the God,he's up all night any way!Worry is a kind of like a rocking chair:It keeps youdoing,but you don't get anything!And if you cannot help worring;remember that worrying can't help you either.
Although you have done many years of obsrevations to prove your new theory is true and you you believe your new theory is true,you should publish the new theory which you have done many years.
You must believe in the time which will show if your idea is true or not.The American President,Franklin Roosevelt said,"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."So whatever you're afraid of or worrying about,ask yourself:Is it real?
And if it is real,how will worry about it help you?How long will it last?Is it somthing you can chang?If not,how can you best accept it?
Then finally ask yourselsf:How important will this be a year from now?Will it be important to me at the end of my life?Just think a minute...You should publish your new theory.
译文:给亲爱的哥白尼的信,我很久以前就听说过你。我是一名来自中国广东的高中生。我的名字叫陆志伟。我知道你对旧理论所作的改变是革命性的。
你所发现的新理论,比基督教的观点要好。我相信你的新理论会取代基督教的观念,你也会幸福地生活。科学不能发展,除非人们发表他们的想法。我真希望你能发表你的新理论。
如果你发表你的新想法,科学就会越来越好。你知道,在强大的基督教会的控制下,我们的人文科学无法取得很大进步。我认为只有你的新思想才能推翻基督教的旧思想。
你也有一颗勇敢和坚强的心。勇敢前进,你就是伟大的科学家。欧内斯特·海明威说:“一个真正的人,他应该总是尝试一些从来没有做过的事情,或者别人尝试过但失败了的事情,然后有时,运气好的话,他会成功。”他还说,一个人的行为可能无法立即被察觉。
如果你发表了你的新思想,你就通过发表你的新理论减轻了一个包裹的重量,你的青春也将是内在的,因为你减少了你对烦恼的浪费。请考虑一下……你还记得小时候晚上怕妖怪吗?但现在你是成年人了,你知道不该害怕不存在的东西,对吧?
令人惊讶的是,你仍然会对一些不真实的事情感到恐惧和担心,就像那个说“担心没有用”的人一样。几乎所有我担心的事情都不会发生在我身上!“疯狂的是,担心和恐惧让你逃避一些根本没有追着你的东西。而且,烦恼只会让你长皱纹,那只不过是另一件需要烦恼的事罢了!
当你害怕未来时,你就是在浪费现在。再说,今天的麻烦已经够多了。所以在晚上,把你的烦恼交给上帝吧,反正他整夜都睡不着!
忧虑就像一把摇椅:它让你不停地做,但你什么也得不到!如果你忍不住担心,记住担心也帮不了你。尽管你已经做了多年的观察来证明你的新理论是正确的你相信你的新理论是正确的,你应该发表你做了多年的新理论。你必须相信时间会证明你的想法是真的还是假的。
美国总统富兰克林·罗斯福说过:“我们唯一需要害怕的就是害怕本身。”所以无论你害怕或担心什么,问问自己:这是真的吗?如果这是真的,担心又有什么用呢?会持续多久?
这是你能改变的吗?如果不是,你怎么能最好地接受它?最后问自己:一年后这还会有多重要?在我生命的尽头,它对我还重要吗?想想看……你应该发表你的新理论。
