Years is a grindstone, and I, it is a dulling sword.
岁月是一块磨刀石，而我，就是一把驽钝的剑。

——题记
Years, who is invisible also, everybody is caught do not wear. Only the ability of time old person in fairy tale story controls it, but fairy tale is fairy tale after all, time old person also is nonexistent. So, years grows in what accompany us all the time and spend. Should say what gift it kept? I think, the gift that keeps to me is courage.
岁月，谁也看不见，谁也抓不着。只有童话故事中的时间老人才能控制它，但童话终究是童话，时间老人也是不存在的。所以，岁月都一直在伴随我们的成长而度过。要说它留下了什么礼物呢？我想，给我留下的礼物就是勇气吧。
In one's childhood, I am special be afraid of black, I fear the meeting in darkness gets a spirit suddenly, the energy that sucks me is angry, so that I had not seen any ghost piece. To me character, this kind those who be fear of a night is recreant be by no means an isolated case. I fear to talk before the crowd, I fear oneself a person is in the home, I fear and stranger communication …… is actually in my heart, I am a particularly timid person.
小时候，我特别怕黑，我害怕黑暗中会突然钻出一个鬼魂来，吸走我的精气，以至于我没有看过任何鬼片。对我而言，这种惧怕黑夜的胆小是不一而足的。我害怕在人群面前说话，我害怕自己一个人在家，我害怕和陌生人交流……其实在我的内心里，我是一个特别怯懦的人。
I very envy those audacious classmates, they are self-invited heat simply, the communication with others is not a problem completely. The activity of choose class cadre is held on the class once, I am how to want to rush forward a speech to enter into an election contest! But, I very fear, fear to cannot get classmates approbate, fear to fail. Then, I still sit below. Enter into an election contest after the end, the sky in my heart falls fall, I regretted. I feel, fearing to fail just is my timid prime cause, I want him change, I should become an ironside.
我很羡慕那些胆大的同学，他们简直就是自来热，与别人的交流完全不是问题。有一次班上举行选拔班干部的活动，我是多么想冲上去发言竞选啊！可是，我又很害怕，害怕得不到同学们的认可，害怕失败。于是，我还是坐在了下面。竞选结束后，我的心里空落落的，我后悔了。我觉得，害怕失败才是我怯懦的根本原因，我想要改变自己，我要变成一个勇敢的人。
I begin to forcing I talk aloud, forcing oneself go communicating with others, forcing oneself enter various activities. Eventually, can have results hard. In the speech contest that our school held last year, I am developed normally, carried off the 2nd of the match. This achievement gave my huge to encourage, let me believe, my him comparing imagines medium more powerful. It is after this, what what I encounter my face up to is difficult, resolve the trouble in the life self-confidently. I present, had not feared to fail.
我开始逼着自己大声说话，逼着自己去和别人交流，逼着自己参加各种各样的活动。终于，努力就会有收获的。在去年我们学校举行的演讲比赛中，我正常发挥，夺得了比赛的第二名。这个成绩给了我极大的鼓励，让我相信，我比自己想象中的更强大。在这以后，我勇敢地面对我所遇到的困难，自信地解决生活中的麻烦。现在的我，已经不害怕失败了。
Years is a grindstone, and I, it is a dulling sword. But, I can become sharper and sharper, until render service to repay kindness a day that of the motherland. The gift that years delivers, I can receive them entirely.
岁月是一块磨刀石，而我，就是一把驽钝的剑。但是，我会变得越来越锋利，直到报效祖国的那一天。岁月送来的礼物，我会把它们全部收下的。(文/徐乐)
