有时候人能够凝炼成一颗石子，在时间长河中，潜伏见底，只觉身在其中，不觉水流。不知不觉，我已经从一个刚步入初中的懵懂少年，成为了一名初三的学生。
Sometimes people can condense into a stone, lurking in the river of time until the bottom, only feeling themselves in it, unaware of the current. Unconsciously, I have gone from a naive teenager who just entered junior high school to a third year student.
然而，由于上学期期末考试的失意，我抱着一颗迷茫的心进入校园。陌生的新老师，倍增的作业量，让我惶惶不可终日。
However, due to my disappointment in last semester's final exams, I entered the campus with a confused heart. The unfamiliar new teacher and the doubled workload make me anxious all day long.
我在起跑线上徘徊着，不知所措。
I was hovering on the starting line, unsure of what to do.
前语文老师给我留下一张明信片，便不辞而别。上面写着：“半山腰太挤，你总得去山顶看看。”这句话就像一道曙光，让身处黑夜的我感到一丝温暖。但是我似乎要让老师失望了，一想到这，我就感到些许苦闷，但更多的，是不甘……
My former Chinese teacher left me a postcard and left without saying goodbye. It reads: 'Half the mountain is too crowded, you have to go to the top of the mountain to take a look.' This sentence is like a dawn, making me feel a little warm in the dark night. But it seems like I'm going to disappoint the teacher, and the thought of it makes me feel a little frustrated, but more importantly, unwilling出自 wwW.zuoWEnBA.nEt
望着终点，犹豫着，退缩，还是出发？
Looking at the finish line, hesitating, retreating, or setting off?
那是一个周六的上午，父亲带我出去购物。当时晴空万里，父亲停好车，便和我一头扎进商场。过了一个小时左右，我们拎着大包小包，又重新出现在门口时。原本湛蓝的天空，已经布满了墨水般浓稠的乌云。我心里暗叫一声不好。不出意外，豆大的雨点，如同断了线的珍珠手链，噼里啪啦地打了下来。我和爸爸退到屋檐下，面面相觑，不知所措。半个小时过去了，雨势丝毫不减。马上走，怕等会儿停了太亏，可等会儿走，这雨却越下越大。又过了一个多小时，父亲沉不住气了，走向车子：“不能再等了！”这个时候，他的背影显得有些大气凛然。上车后，披上雨披，赫然发现之前的犹豫是多余的，一心只想快点到家。父亲说的一句话让我印象深刻：“看来有时候，出发才是最好的选择。”
It was a Saturday morning, and my father took me out shopping. At that time, the sky was clear for thousands of miles, and my father parked his car and plunged into the mall with me. After about an hour, we reappeared at the door carrying big and small bags. The originally clear blue sky is now covered with ink like thick dark clouds. I secretly exclaimed in my heart that it was not good. As expected, raindrops the size of beans rained down like broken pearl bracelets, crackling and falling. My father and I retreated to the eaves, looking at each other in confusion. Half an hour has passed, and the rain has not diminished at all. Let's go right away, I'm afraid it will be too bad to stop later, but when we leave later, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. After more than an hour, the father couldn't hold his breath anymore and walked towards the car, saying, "We can't wait any longer!" At this moment, his back looked somewhat majestic. After getting on the car and putting on a raincoat, I suddenly realized that my previous hesitation was unnecessary, and all I wanted was to get home as soon as possible. My father's words left a deep impression on me: "It seems that sometimes, setting out is the best choice
是啊。有时候，出发才是最好的选择啊。我的心中渐渐有了方向。
Yes. Sometimes, departure is the best choice. My heart gradually has direction.
在一个下午，学校安排了一个专家来做讲座。他讲了很多，但让我真正受到触动的是他的过往：他初二时的英语也不好，在面对还有一年的中考，他也迷茫了，他说：“看着我的英语成绩，我也在疑惑，我该怎么办，我要坚持吗？”但很快，他又说：“所以，我意识到，是时候该做出改变了。”
One afternoon, the school arranged for an expert to give a lecture. He talked a lot, but what really touched me was his past: his English was not good in the second year of junior high school, and he was also confused when facing another year of high school entrance examination. He said, "Looking at my English grades, I am also wondering, what should I do? Should I persist?" But soon, he said, "So, I realized it was time to make a change
或许，我亦如此，我应当出发。在攀登山峰前，我们或许会身处黑夜，看不清前路。痛苦、迷茫、焦灼，会一直伴随我们。但是，只要你迈出脚步，你就会听到风在吹，远方在召唤……
Perhaps I am the same, I should set off. Before climbing the mountain peak, we may be in the dark and unable to see the way ahead. Pain, confusion, and anxiety will always accompany us. But as long as you take steps, you will hear the wind blowing and the distant calling
要知道，最慢的步伐永远不会是碎步，而是徘徊。我们总得出发，不如乘此凉夜月明，心有所念，行在路上，这样，当你抬头见月，低头有路，或许在你登顶时，曙光恰好撒在你的身上。
You should know that the slowest pace is never a broken step, but wandering. We have to set off. It's better to take advantage of this cool night with a bright moon, have some thoughts in your heart, and walk on the road. This way, when you look up at the moon and look down at the road, perhaps the dawn will fall on you when you reach the summit.
于不觉之中，我已出发，在初三的跑道上，我将一往无前，因我所念，皆成美景，如夜，如月。
Unconsciously, I have already set off. On the track of the third year of junior high school, I will move forward without hesitation, because all my thoughts have become beautiful scenery, like night and moon.
