今天是植树节。我们居住的社区要求小区居民都来参加植树活动。
Today is tree planting day. The community we live in requires all residents of the community to take part in tree planting activities.
下午，在居委会王主任的带领下，我们家也带着铁锹来到社区旁的一块空地上，参加植树活动。王主任给我们讲了挖树坑的标准和应注意的问题。劳动就开始了，顿时，场地上出现了一派热火朝天的景象。大人孩子齐上阵，连老年人干劲儿都很足。大家七手八脚忙活起来，有的搬砖头瓦块，有的清理杂物，有的运送树苗，有的挖树坑……我们的小社区还从来没有这样热闹过呢！
In the afternoon, under the leadership of the director of the neighborhood committee, our family also took a spade to a vacant area near the community to participate in tree planting activities. Director Wang told us about the standard of digging tree pits and the problems we should pay attention to. The labor began. Suddenly, a hot scene appeared on the site. Adults and children go to battle together, even the elderly are very energetic. Everyone is busy. Some carry bricks and tiles, some clean up sundries, some transport seedlings, some dig tree pits Our small community has never been so busy!
我和妈妈领到了一个牌子，据说植树结束后，可以在上面写字留念。我们选定了一个地方，我从坑里边挖了很多土，把土装在筐子里给了妈妈，妈妈再把土放到一边。我在挖土时，才切身感到了种植员的辛苦，挖不了多久，就腰酸腿疼的了。我想：种植员为什么不怕苦呢？也许是因为劳动也是一种快乐吧！为了看到自己的劳动成果——那棵迎风茁壮成长的小树，我又加劲干了起来。
My mother and I got a sign. It is said that we can write on it after planting trees. We chose a place. I dug a lot of soil from the pit. I put the soil in the basket and gave it to my mother. Then my mother put the soil aside. When I was digging the soil, I felt the hard work of the growers. Soon after digging, my back and legs hurt. I think: Why are growers not afraid of hardship? Maybe it's because labor is also a kind of happiness! In order to see the fruits of my work, the small tree that thrives in the wind, I worked hard again.
我和妈妈继续挖着，挖了几筐土的坑才能放下树苗，我终于明白“根深蒂固”的意思了，小树的根真的深深扎在土里。王主任对大家说，我们的小区居民就像这小树一样，大家的家在社区里面，就好像小树的根扎在土地里。我们要爱护我们的小社区，每个人都出一份力，这样我们的家才会更好。
My mother and I continued to dig, dug a few baskets of soil pit to put down the seedlings, I finally understand the meaning of "deep-rooted", the roots of small trees really deep in the soil. Director Wang said to you, our residents are like this small tree. Everyone's home is in the community, just like the root of the small tree is rooted in the land. We need to take good care of our small community, and everyone can contribute, so that our family will be better.
坑挖好后，我和妈妈就去选树苗了。我们选定的树苗叫黄金槐，它的顶部是黄色的，我说它简直像外国人的金色头发，可妈妈说：“它像稻穗的颜色，是成熟的颜色。”我们都很喜欢这棵树。把树放进坑里，种好后，我按照妈妈的吩咐给小树浇了水。浇完水才发现，系在树顶上的保护树枝的蓝带子竟然没解开！可是那棵树又太高了，我跳了好几下也够不着它。这时，对门的王大爷过来了，他笑着说：“小伙子，你还要努力长个子啊！”说着，他帮我们解开了蓝带子，王大爷接着说：“这小树长高的时候，你也就成才喽！”看着舒展开的小树，我心里甜滋滋的，我和妈妈一起给小树取了个名字：成果树。
After digging the pit, my mother and I went to pick the saplings. The sapling we chose is called yellow locust. Its top is yellow. I say it's almost like the blonde hair of foreigners. But my mother says, "it's like the color of rice ears. It's a mature color." We all like this tree. Put the tree in the pit. After planting, I watered the tree according to my mother's instructions. After pouring the water, I found that the blue belt tied to the top of the tree to protect the branches had not been untied! But the tree is too high. I can't reach it after several jumps. At this time, Wang came to the door, he said with a smile: "young man, you have to work hard to grow up!" As he said, he helped us to untie the blue belt. Uncle Wang then said, "when this small tree grows high, you will become a talent!" Looking at the stretch of the small tree, my heart sweet Zizi, I and my mother together to the small tree named: fruit tree.
回到家里之后，我站在阳台上俯视整个小区，刚开始，简直不相信自己的眼睛。原来光秃秃的小区变样子了，路边栽满了树，有黄金顶的黄金槐，也有绿色的杨树，大叶子的泡桐，我们的小区变的美极了！
Back home, I stood on the balcony overlooking the whole community. At first, I couldn't believe my eyes. It turns out that the bare community has changed. There are trees planted on the side of the road. There are golden locust trees with golden roofs, green poplar trees and paulownia trees with large leaves. Our community has become extremely beautiful!
