2019高考英语作文 有关“竹子”的祝福信（宁可食无肉不可居无竹）

假定你是李华。你的美国朋友David生日将至，你画了一幅中国画“竹”，作为生日礼物寄送给他。请你写一封信，说明其寓意并表示祝福。

Dear David,

How’s everything going? As your birthday is drawing near, I’ve prepared a gift for you. It’s a Chinese painting “bamboo”, which I specially drew for you.

In Chinese culture, bamboo carries many best wishes and symbolizes excellent qualities.

On the one hand, it stands straight and stays green all year round, so it’s always full of life.

I wish you as strong and energetic as a bamboo.

On the other hand, it’s hard outside but hollow inside.

If compared to a bamboo, one is usually considered to be strong-willed and modest. All

in all, we use bamboo to represent a noble and gentle person.

I hope you will like the gift and wish you a happy birthday. May you be blessed in everything you do.

参考译文：

亲爱的大卫，

一切都好吗？你的生日快到了，我给你准备了一份礼物。这是一幅中国画“竹”，我专门为你画的。

在中国文化中，竹子承载着许多美好的祝愿，象征着优秀的品质。

一方面，它是笔直的，一年四季都是绿色的，所以它总是充满活力。

我祝愿你像竹子一样强壮、精力充沛。

另一方面，外面很硬，里面却是空的。

与竹子相比，人们通常认为竹子意志坚强、谦虚。

总之，我们用竹子来代表一个高尚而温和的人。

我希望你会喜欢这份礼物，并祝你生日快乐。愿你所做的一切都有福。
