“聪明在于勤奋，天才在于积累。”这是华罗庚的名言，我对此深信不疑。
Intelligence lies in diligence, genius lies in accumulation. "This is a famous saying by Hua Luogeng, and I firmly believe in it.
中华文化源远流长，国学经典诵读不衰。在学校举办的初一年级古诗词擂台赛中，我一路过五关斩六将，最终进入决赛圈。入围的都是各个班级中的精英，高手中的高手，我不免感到有些压力。我拿到《南京市中考语文备考小红书》，翻了翻，更是傻了眼：厚厚一大本，全要求会背会默。没办法，只能多花点时间死记硬背了。
Chinese culture has a long and rich history, and the recitation of classic Chinese studies remains popular. In the first grade ancient poetry competition held at school, I passed through five levels and defeated six opponents, ultimately entering the finals. The finalists are all elites from various classes, experts among experts, and I can't help but feel some pressure. I got the 'Little Red Book for Chinese Language Preparation in Nanjing High School Entrance Examination' and flipped through it, only to be dumbfounded: it's a thick book that requires me to memorize and memorize everything. I have no choice but to spend more time memorizing by rote.作文 WwW.ZuOwENbA.NeT
决赛当天，我怀着忐忑不安的心情步入现场，其他班级的选手各个镇定自若，一副胸有成行、势在必得的样子。反观我，心里像揣了只小兔子，怦怦直跳，手掌心还不断直冒冷汗。主持老师首先介绍规则，而后下发答题纸。我大致扫了一眼，发现第一大题竟是文学常识，简直就要晕倒，心里极度崩溃。我连蒙带猜写完第一大题，接下来古诗名句填空。一开始，我还信心满满地写着，可当看到“赢得生前身后名”时，却犯了愁，明明知道出自《破阵子·为陈同甫赋状词以寄之》却偏偏记不起来上一句是什么，只能放弃。
On the day of the final, I walked into the venue with a nervous and uneasy heart, while the other contestants from the class remained calm and composed, with a confident and determined attitude. On the other hand, I feel like I have a little rabbit in my heart, pounding and sweating profusely in my palms. The host teacher first introduces the rules and then distributes the answer sheets. I took a quick glance and found that the first major topic was actually literary knowledge. I was about to faint and my heart was extremely shattered. I have finished guessing the first major question, and now I will fill in the blanks with famous lines from ancient poems. At first, I wrote with full confidence, but when I saw 'winning fame before and after death', I felt sad. Although I knew it came from 'Breaking the Formation: Composing Petitions for Chen Tongfu to Send to Him', I couldn't remember what the previous sentence was and had to give up.
比赛虽说结束了，但我还是十分懊悔自己没有好好背诵古诗，没有花更多的时间主动积累。今后学习，我要脚踏实地走好每一步，夯实一切基础。惟实惟勤，方能成功！
Although the competition has ended, I still deeply regret not reciting ancient poems well and not spending more time actively accumulating them. In my future studies, I will take every step down-to-earth and solidify all foundations. Only by being practical and diligent can we succeed!
