高中英語作文：敢于冒險(xiǎn)

　　Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Some people take the view that sometimes in life we have to take chances in order to make progress. I admire such people. It certainly takes guts to take risks. Maybe it's because of my upbringing, but I am the type who usually plays it safe.

　　People like me prefer the saying, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Conservative as it may be, it keeps me out of trouble. I must confess, however, that leading such a moderate life may, at times, be boring. Admittedly, my life is not half as colorful or exciting as other people's but at least it gives me a sense of security.

　　不入虎穴，焉得虎子。有些人認(rèn)為我們在一生之中，有時(shí)候必須冒點(diǎn)險(xiǎn)以求進(jìn)步。我佩服這些人。冒險(xiǎn)的確須有勇氣才行。也許是由于我的成長背景，我是屬于那種穩(wěn)扎穩(wěn)打型的人。

　　像我這樣的人喜歡這句格言：「一鳥在手勝于兩鳥在林」。也許這種說法有些保守，但是那可使我免除麻煩。但我必須承認(rèn)的是，過如此平凡的生活，有時(shí)候可能很無聊。無可諱言地，我的生活不及其它人一半的多采多姿和刺激，但是至少它使我有安全感。
