起因是上个学期英语老师让每周写一个周记,随便写啥都行
于是我寻思着既然很可能要连着写两年时间
不如提前多攒点素材
于是就想写什么好,想到了火车……

结果这学期老师突然说周记可以不用写了,咱们改写命题作文
(白找了那么漂亮的一个本
于是写火车这计划就撂下来了

但是攒着不写心里憋得慌 ……
于是乎抽空写了吧
结果一发不可收拾 ……
(要求每个周记100~200词,这个能顶好几周了)

开始正文:About my beloved trains

    I was a rail fan from the very beginning of my memory, not as crazy as some so called “real rail fan”, but truly a rail fan, or train fan.
    I once lived beside a busy railway since I was born. So trains became my “big” friends in my early childhood. Days and nights, the horn of trains accompanied me. My house was on the top floor of the apartment building. So every time I sat in the balcony, the figure of train was clearly in my sight. Sitting on a chair to watch them come and go was one of my greatest pleasures at that time. For another aspect, my family needed to depend on trains to fulfill the migration from Beijing to my hometown in Zhejiang province once a few years. Railway is the bond between me and my far away relatives.
    So that may be the reason why I became a train fan when I was very young.
    For train fans, we collect all things about trains, from train tickets to souvenirs. And we especially like taking photos of trains. Holding a camera, standing beside the railroad to capture the enormous beauty and shock that trains bring us is our favorite pastime. We even travel thousand miles only to have a look at some unique trains, such as some endangered steam engines or imported locomotives. We devote to our hobby, though it will cost time and money, but it deserves. As the saying goes “A real rail fan will chose a beautiful engine rather than a beauty.” Our footprints and pictures record our happiness, as well as the developing process of the railway system. Trains have become a part of our lives. And the scene of an express train dashing over the infinite field under brilliant sunset often appears in our dreams.
    Years ago in Liaoning province, I have had the fortune to drive a real steam locomotive, to feel the mysterious creature given birth by the Industrial Revolution. With steam surging out of its body, the original power of the train was presented in front of me. That was surely a feast of eyes. I felt thrilled when boarding the cab, sitting in the driver’s seat, holding the handle and feeling the train gaining speed. That experience would be one of my treasures over my lifetime.
    Since the time I became a rail fan, I wanted to become a train driver when I grew up. I always imagine of driving my own train, dart through the storm, to deliver my passengers and freights on time, to give my customers the sense of safety and reliability - safety and reliability, they are what the railway system gives me. Because for trains, once departed, whatever circumstance they may face, as long as they can still move, they will surely arrive in their destination at any cost. And that's what I admire the most. Obviously, without the contribution of millions of railway workers, the railway system won’t be operated that well. Through their dedicated work, the railway workers can keep the entire giant system accurate and punctual. And that’s why I admire them as well, and wanted to become one of them.
    Next time when you bump into a diesel locomotive, just stand beside it, silently, to feel your heart beating with the engine. You will discover that, again, your body is filled with energy, with the power to continue your marching forward. Since trains will never lose their target, never.

还是附一遍翻译吧……

    自我的记忆伊始,我就是一个铁路迷,并不像一些所谓的“真车迷”那样疯狂,但也是一个真正的铁路迷,或者说火车迷。
    自打我出生,我就住在一条繁忙的铁路线旁。因而火车在我的童年早期成为了我的“大朋友”。日日夜夜,火车的汽笛声陪伴着我。我家住在公寓楼的顶层。因而每当我坐在阳台上,火车的身影便清晰地映入眼帘。坐在一把椅子上看着它们来往穿梭是那时的我的一大乐趣。另一方面,我的家庭需要依靠火车完成数年一次从北京到我的浙江老家的迁徙。铁路是我与远方亲人之间的纽带。
    因而这可能是我为什么会年纪轻轻就成为火车迷的原因。
    对于火车迷来说,我们收集有关火车的一切,从火车票到纪念品。另外我们尤其喜欢铁路摄影。端着相机站在铁道线边去捕捉火车带来的巨大的美与震撼是我们最好的消遣。我们甚至旅行千里,只为一睹那些独特的列车,例如一些濒危的蒸汽机车或进口机车。我们投入于我们的爱好,即使这会花费时间和金钱,但这也值当。就像有句话说的:“真车迷就是见了好车比见了美女还激动。”我们的足迹与照片记录下了我们的快乐,同样也有铁路系统发展的进程。火车成为了我们生活中的一部分。那快速列车在灿烂的夕阳下飞奔过无际原野的场景经常出现在我们的梦中。
    几年前在辽宁省,我有幸亲自驾驶了真正的蒸汽机车,感受了这一工业革命中诞生的神奇作品。随着蒸汽从体内喷涌而出,这火车最原始的能量在我的面前展开。这绝对是视觉的盛宴。当我登上司机室,坐进驾驶座,握住手柄,感觉列车在加速,我感到异常兴奋。那段经历将成为我一生的宝藏。
    自我成为火车迷的那一天,我一直梦想长大后做一名火车司机。我经常幻想着自己驾驶列车,冲过风雪,准时将乘客与货物送达,给我的顾客带来安全感与可靠感——安全感与可靠感,这些就是铁路系统带给我的感受。因为对于火车来说,一旦出发,无论面对何种情况,只要它们还能够移动,它们必将不惜代价抵达目的地。这也是我最敬仰的。显然,没有几百万铁路职工的付出,铁路系统就无法运作得如此流畅。通过他们兢兢业业的劳动,铁路工人们可以保证整个巨大系统的精准。这就是为什么我同样敬仰他们,并曾经希望成为他们中的一员。
    下一次,如果你偶遇一台内燃机车,那么就请站在它身旁,静静地,去感受你的心脏和着引擎的节拍一起跳动。你会发现,再一次地,你的身体充满了能量,充满了继续向前征程的动力。因为火车永远不会失去他们的目标,永远不会。

更新了一下,把最后结尾补上了

还是希望能展现一些车迷心中单纯美好的东西
虽然我也知道今天的铁路实在是饱受非议

望英语专业同志和出国党们轻喷
