New Roman"> It is never late to hunt for your dream
On the first day of new semester, A professor let us new students know togther,after introducing himself. At that time, an velvet hand put on my shoulder. i turned back ,seeing a old woman with lots of wrinkle in her face was smiling to me.` `Hi, pretty boy, I am LUSY,I am 87 years old, can I hug you ?``,she said,`` sure!`` ,I can not help laughing. she gave me a sanguine hug immediately.
“why do you come to atand university in such age?”I was surprised .
“I always have desired to attand university , now the dream has come be true.”she said to me.
We often went to restaurant together and shared a cup of cholote milk,after class.,so we became good friends quickly. we were together whenever in class or after class. ,even there was no secret between us. we tell everything to one another.
At the end of the semester, LUSY became the idol of classmates. wherever she was ,whoever she met ,easy to make friends with her. she also liked lending an attentive ear to classmates’ annoyance and happiness. everyone made praise and surprise for her warm heart at study and people.
When new year was following nearly, we invited LUSY making a speech. we would never forget her words at that day. she said,`` Because we do not stop hunting for dream, we keep young forever. if you are 19-year old ,and lie in the bed without doing anything, you will be older one year. though I am 87-year old, I study hard everyday,and take payment for my dream constantly, I think I grow up one year when I am 88 years old. in fact ,everybody will be old, but having the different life attitudes, perhaps the meanness of “old” is different. there is no regret on the road to struggling for your ideal. only if they have not dream , give it up easily,or recede as facing with difficulty, they will fell so sorry when they are old.”
The speech ended with a song ROSE she choose .she let us having the feelling,loving study ,loving people around us and loving everyday’s life .
Afer Several years, LUSY had been completed all the courses .and after one week she graduated, she passed away leniter in the sleep. More than 2000 people participated in her funeral.everyone will never forget the old woman who let them know it is never too late to hunt for dream only if they have confidence and the abilith to study.
Today ,I read the writing, I think maybe the story can enlighten us .so I translate it .there are many faults ,please forgive me and correct them. thank you.
新学期的第一天，教授作了自我介绍之后。让我们这帮新同学互相认识。这时，一只柔软的手搭在我的肩上。我回过头，看见一个满脸皱纹的老太太正友好地向我微笑。她说：“你好，帅哥。我叫露丝，今年87岁。我可以拥抱你一下吗?”我不禁笑了：“当然可以。”她马上给我一个热情的拥抱。
“你都这个年龄了．为什么还来上大学?”我对她来上大学充满好奇。
“我一直都渴望上大学，今天这个愿望终于实现了。”她告诉我。
课后，我们一起去了学校的餐厅，一起分享了一杯巧克力牛奶。我们很快就成了朋友。我们一起上下课。几乎到了无话不谈的地步。
一个学期快结束时。露丝成了同学们的偶像。无论到那里。她都很容易交上朋友。她喜欢打扮。也喜欢倾听同学们的烦恼与欢乐。她对学习、对人的热情让每一个人都为之赞叹。
在新年到来之际．我们邀请露丝为我们发表演讲。我永远也忘不了她那天说的话：我们不停止追求．所以我们永远年轻。如果你19岁，在床上躺了一年，一件有意义的事也没做，你将老去1岁。如果我87岁。但我每天都在孜孜不倦地学习。为理想的实现而不断付出努力，到88岁时，我觉得我成长了1岁。我依然年轻。每个人都会变老，但对待人生的态度不同，“老”的意义就不同。
在为理想而奋斗的过程中老去是没有遗憾的，只有那些没有追求，轻易放弃自己的理想，或者在困难面前轻易退缩的人，当他们老去的时候，才会发觉人生有那么多遗撼。
她用《玫瑰》这首歌结束她的演讲：她让我们每一个人懂得了热爱学习以及热爱身边的人与每天的生活。
几年后，露丝修完了所有的课程。在她毕业一周后，她在睡眠中安详去世。2000多人去参加了她的葬礼。大家永远也不会忘记这个使他们懂得只要有信心和教力．实现理想就永远不会太迟的老人。
