小镇的成长

世界上的每一处地方每天都在日益变化。而我的家乡就像崭新的日历：每当翻开新的一页，它便会悄然无声的改变着它的新面貌……

Every part of the world is changing day by day. And my hometown is like a brand new calendar: every time I open a new page, it will quietly change its new face

十几年前的一天，我出生在一个充满乡村气息的小镇。几年后，我刚学会走路时，我记得我脚下走的是黄泥土，还有石子，坑坑洼洼的，很不好走，顽皮的泥渍还跳起来沾满了我的裤子。当时，在我们的村子里，只有一条通往镇上的泥路，并且这条路十分的窄，只允许一个人过，条件十分艰苦。

One day more than ten years ago, I was born in a small town full of rural flavor. A few years later, when I first learned how to walk, I remember that what I walked under my feet was yellow soil, stones, potholes, which were very difficult to walk. The naughty mud stains also covered my pants. At that time, in our village, there was only one dirt road leading to the town, and the road was very narrow, only one person was allowed to pass, and the conditions were very difficult.

可是，今天的小镇，我所见到的却是另一翻生机勃勃的景象。

However, today's Town, what I see is another dynamic scene.

在每一处地方，你所踏着的都是光滑、平坦的水泥路。抬头看着蔚蓝纯洁的天空，走过一座座新造的桥；低下头，只见一条条小鱼儿正在自由自在的游来游去，时而钻出水面向我招手致敬，时而跳出水面显示自己的本领；河水缓缓的流着，像一条白色的绸带，把两边的田野打扮的更加美丽。这景色真是令人感慨万千。要是诗人到此一游，定然会诗兴大发，低吟一首田园小诗。

In every place, you are on a smooth, flat concrete road. Looking up at the blue and pure sky, walking through a newly built bridge; looking down, I saw a small fish swimming freely, sometimes coming out of the water to salute me, sometimes jumping out of the water to show their ability; the river was flowing slowly, like a white ribbon, making the fields on both sides more beautiful. The scenery is really impressive. If the poet visited here, he would surely be full of poetry and chant a small pastoral poem.

现在的小镇，交通、工业更加发达，工厂、公司日益增多，这就给人们提供了很好的工作机会，让人们能过上更好的生活。一幢幢的新楼房处处可见。然而工厂多了，污染的产生也就快了。但是，我们的环保观念却并未因此而减弱，反而更强。大家一起保护水资源，不浪费一滴水，爱护我们的地球妈妈。

Nowadays, the town is more developed in transportation and industry, with more and more factories and companies, which provides people with good job opportunities and enables them to live a better life. New buildings are everywhere. However, as there are more factories, pollution will be produced soon. However, our concept of environmental protection is not weakened, but stronger. We will protect the water resources together, not waste a drop of water, and take care of our earth mother.

好的环境，让人们生活得更开心。

Good environment makes people live more happily.

清晨，当月儿落山，星儿告别了黎明，小镇也在大公鸡“喔喔喔”的打鸣中欣欣然张开了眼睛。

In the early morning, when the moon falls, the star says goodbye to the dawn, and the town happily opens its eyes in the crowing of the rooster.

小镇的早晨是恬静的。一早的空气是那么的清新；青青的小草上缀着一颗颗晶莹的小露珠，在阳光的照耀下，闪烁着钻石般的光芒；花儿绽放着灿烂的笑脸；蝴蝶在花丛中快乐地飞舞；小蜜蜂也在辛勤地劳动。朴实而又努力的人们当然也不甘示弱。

The morning in the town is quiet. The air in the morning is so fresh; the green grass is decorated with crystal dew, shining with diamond like light under the sun; the flowers are blooming with brilliant smile; butterflies are flying happily in the flowers; the bees are also working hard. The simple and hard-working people are certainly not to be outdone.

小镇的早晨也是热闹的。有的人赶着去工厂上班；有的人骑着小三轮带着货物去集市上，货筐里有刚从海里捕获的活蹦乱跳的虾、鱼，还有刚从地里摘下来的蔬菜。金秋十月，正是最忙碌的季节，午饭过后，我和表姐一起来到农田里，给奶奶帮忙。我发现正在农作的人们谈论时开怀大笑，干活时嘴角边露出一抹微笑。

The morning in the small town is also lively. Some people rush to work in factories; some people ride small tricycles to take goods to the market. There are prawns and fish just caught in the sea and vegetables just picked from the ground in the basket. Autumn October is the busiest season. After lunch, my cousin and I came to the farm together to help grandma. I found that people who were working in agriculture laughed when talking and smiled when working.

现在，这种笑声时常会在我的耳边响起，而这样柔和安详的微笑也经常浮现在我的眼前。我想，这应该是世界上最动听的声音，也是全世界独一无二的幸福的表达。宁静的夜晚，我独自一人散步在绿树林荫的小道上，抬头望着银白色的明月，感到它也在向我微笑。

Now, this kind of laughter often rings in my ear, and such a gentle and peaceful smile often appears in front of my eyes. I think it should be the most beautiful voice in the world and the unique expression of happiness in the world. On a quiet night, I was walking alone on a tree lined path, looking up at the bright silver moon and feeling that it was smiling at me.

真的，这儿真的是个很美的地方。它虽然没有大城市的时尚、华丽，但它却有着自己的独特美，有着自己的新面貌，有着自己顽强而坚毅的性格！

Really, it's really a beautiful place. Although it is not as fashionable and gorgeous as a big city, it has its own unique beauty, its own new look, and its own indomitable and resolute character!

小镇——沥海，成长中的美！

Small town - Lihai, growing beauty!
