高中英語(yǔ)作文：description of My Hometown家鄉(xiāng)素描

　　Wherever I am, I find it hard to resist the tempting call of my hometown.Situated at the north-western tip of Xin-zhu County, bordering Tao-yuan County with a small winding stream is my old hometown, the humble and bleak fishing and farming village.The residents there used to make their living by fishing in their boats on the nearest waters of the Taiwan Strait. Later, those boats were heavily outrun by modern ships.Since then, life has never been easy for the villagers, as they have to live off the tiny pieces of land.I often feel that they are peasants rather than farmers.The village is famed for its windy weather, bad for farming but good for the strengthening of character. I can still recall how those salty winds howled all the way through my childhood.But as I now look back upon those tough days and drab rural lives, I feel blessed; I seem to have gone through the ordeal and am capable of facing any hardships.As I am growing older, in my heart, my hometown has become the symbol of the deepest nostalgia and stood for an everlasting affection. I, in turn, can always seek solace through visualizing my lovely hometown.

　　無(wú)論我身在何處，總覺(jué)得很難抗拒故鄉(xiāng)誘人的呼喚。樸實(shí)而顯荒涼的故鄉(xiāng)，位於新竹縣西北隅，僅以一蜿蜒小溪與桃園縣接壤，是一農(nóng)漁兼具的村莊。居民過(guò)去在臺(tái)灣海峽近海水域，以小船捕魚(yú)維生，稍後，小船遠(yuǎn)不敵現(xiàn)代化船舶。從此，大多數(shù)村民的生活，就不曾安逸，因?yàn)樗麄儽仨氁蕾囆⌒∞r(nóng)地過(guò)活。我常覺(jué)得他們是小農(nóng)，而非一般的農(nóng)夫。村子以多風(fēng)聞名，刮風(fēng)的天氣，對(duì)農(nóng)耕不利，卻有益於強(qiáng)化性格，我仍舊清晰地記得，童年時(shí)期鹹鹹的風(fēng)總是吹個(gè)不停?？墒钱?dāng)我現(xiàn)在回顧那段艱苦的日子和沈悶的鄉(xiāng)野生活，反倒覺(jué)得很有福氣;似乎覺(jué)得已經(jīng)通過(guò)了嚴(yán)厲的試煉，而現(xiàn)在任何苦難都能面對(duì)。年紀(jì)漸長(zhǎng)，心裡覺(jué)得故鄉(xiāng)已經(jīng)象徵最深沈的鄉(xiāng)愁，也代表永恒的依戀，而我只能藉著慕想故鄉(xiāng)的影像以尋求慰藉。
