篇二：I'M Waiting in the Rain.

I Am Waiting in the Rain.

“The Art of Racing in the rain” is a story about a dog called Enzo. Enzo’s owner is a racer, because of the problems in their own, met many difficulties. Enzo saw these problems and wanted to resolve.

“Your heart, decide what you see, and we are the creators of our destiny.” I think the two words have different meanings. The first sentence is that what you think in the heart, then you will do what things. If you think of the thing is learning, then you have to study hard; if the thought is the game, so you are in the classroom, your heart is in the computer. I think a man cannot and shouldn’t loose his or her heart or brain. But the heart is more important. The second sentence is all depend on us to fight, to create, not who will do what in our destiny, so we are the creator of our own destiny. And so does study. As long as you are willing to learn, I believe you will learn well.

Enzo had a famous saying: Smart Car Racer is often the last winner. In our life, we need to be good at thinking, because it can make contribution to society things. With our unremitting efforts, the story has a happy ending, “Your heart, decide what you see.”He is not the hope of others, he is hope itself. The long wait, finally all sufferings have their reward, finally de reunion, but the witness all this Enzo has come to the end of life. May be the writer pat Enzo went away, the last chapter, in the game, a super fans of Danny, the boy named Enzo in Danny view, the Enzo is the former one looks forward to the afterlife to the person of Enzo? Wait for a good things, because look in mind, in the heart to have the vision, so long waiting is the moment, this moment waiting will also for eternity. The heart, even in rain waiting, believes that there will be blue rainbow after the rain. Because your heart, decide what you see.

You must believe that the car is an extension of the body, is the extension of the track car, and the rain is the track extension. To believe that you are not you, you are everything. I can’t talk, so I listened very carefully. Because I listen, so I will be good. No one in the first circle corner of the game wins the points, but many people lose there. To want to rush to the end in the first place, we must firstly finish the race. A driver can not because of the driveway accident on another rider temper. You can only own gas appears in the wrong place at the wrong time.

People are always worried about what will happen next. What is more it is difficult to keep calm and not to focus on the present, and worry about the future. People are not always satisfied with what they have own, they are always worried about what will happen later instead.

This is a fusion of love, tragedy, redemption and most important-a dog the eyes of Enzo tells the story of the book. The story of Enzo is loyal and never gives up. In the master to see the race, it is in his heart silently blessing master peace, and his returning. When the hostess to preterm birth, and Danny was not in time, Instead , he gave the hostess care, and also won the title of “baby brother”. When the hostess died, Danny faced a desperate, it also together with the owner of sadness. I believe that as long as you love animals, love the car, and the book will be touched!

篇三：Waiting for you

等你, 在雨中, 在造虹的雨中

蝉声沉落, 蛙声升起

一池的红莲如红焰, 在雨中

你来不来都一样, 竟感觉

每朵莲都像你

尤其隔着黄昏, 隔着这样的细雨

永恒, 刹那, 刹那, 永恒

等你, 在时间之外在时间之内,

等你, 在刹那, 在永恒

如果你的手在我的手里, 此刻

如果你的清芬

在我的鼻孔, 我会说, 小情人

诺, 这只手应该采莲, 在吴宫

这只手应该

摇一柄桂浆, 在木兰舟中

一颗星悬在科学馆的飞檐

耳坠子一般的悬着

瑞士表说都七点了 忽然你走来

步雨后的红莲, 翩翩, 你走来

像一首小令

从一则爱情的典故里你走来

从姜白石的词里, 有韵地, 你走来

Waiting for you ,in the rain, in the rain which is making the rainbow Ccicada sound sinks down,pond rises

The pool of red lotus as red flame,in the rain

It is all the same wether you come or not,but I feel each flower is like you

Especially through the dusk,separated by such a drizzle

Eternal,in a flash,the moment,and eternity

Waiting for you,outside of the time or within the time,waiting for you,in the moment,in eternity

If you hand in my hand,and if at this moment your delicate fragrance in my mostrils,I would say,little lover

Oh ,this hand should adopt lotus, in Wu Gong

This hand should shake a handle guangxi pulp,in mulan ship

A star is hanging in the museum of the cornice

Hanging like a eardrop

Swiss watch says it is seven and suddenly you comes

Step the lotuses after the rain,pian-pain ,walking over

Like a poem

You come from the allusion of love

You come with rhyme,from the Jiangbaishi word
