一篇好文章不仅要有一个绝妙的开头,还要有一个精彩的结尾。在结构上,结尾起总结上文,首尾呼应,使文章结构完整的作用。在内容上,结尾进一步强调或肯定文章的中心思想,使文章意义表达得更加深刻。It is not until we challenge ourselves that we can unleash our true potential. It is not... that count(s)/matter(s). It's... that...。It is not the mistakes you make that matter. It's what you have learned from them that makes a significant difference.你犯的错误并不重要,重要的是你从错误中所学到的东西。What matters/counts most is...。From this, I learn that what matters most is not the destination, but the journey.
Such is the key to success—a little bit more efforts and a little bit more determination will create a miracle.这就是成功的秘诀——更努力一点儿,更坚定一点儿,你就能创造奇迹。Resting beside my mother, with hands held tightly by her, I feel the world is so beautiful. 躺在妈妈身边,双手被她紧紧地握着,我觉得这个世界是如此美丽。 Standing beside the empty road, they looked up into the sky, feeling the precious peace from within. 站在空旷的道路旁,他们抬头仰望天空,感受来自内心的珍贵的平静。If you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and almost always leads to love. 如果你们互相理解,你们就会善待彼此。了解一个人永远不会招致仇恨,而几乎总是会带来爱。True friendship isn't just about having fun together, but also about being there for each other during tough times. 真正的友谊不仅仅是一起玩乐,还是在艰难时期相互支持。He finally understood the value of perseverance, echoing the wisdom of Thomas Edison: “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”
他终于明白了坚持的价值,响应了托马斯·爱迪生的智慧:“天才是百分之一的灵感加上百分之九十九的汗水。”
After all the challenges they faced, they finally understood the truth in the saying, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
经历了所有的挑战之后,他们终于明白了那句谚语中的真理:“有志者,事竟成。”
(一)首尾呼应
首尾呼应又叫首尾照应,意思是开头和结尾互相接应,是写作手法的一种。在写结尾时再次强调文章开头阐明的中心思想,深化主题,从而使文章的中心鲜明突出,起到画龙点睛的效果。It was summer and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. 那时是夏天,爸爸想让我度过一个前所未有的假期。他决定带我去西部旅行。Never had I had such a thrilling yet dangerous vacation before. The special trip to the Wild West was deeply engraved in my mind. 我从未有过如此令人激动而又险象环生的假期。那次特别的西部之旅深深地印在了我的脑海里。I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother—loving, sweet, yet absent-minded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her. 我有一个有趣的童年,它充满了惊喜和快乐,这一切都归功于我的妈妈,她慈爱、温柔却健忘。我十一岁的时候,我们家的一次不同寻常之旅体现了她很多方面。Despite Mom's being absent-minded and forgetful, she was still a kind and nice mom. 虽然妈妈健忘,但她仍然是一个善良的好妈妈。

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city skyline, he felt a sense of peace wash over him .续写时可以用名言警句来做结尾,以凸显文章的主题,起到画龙点睛的作用。With gratitude in their hearts, they embraced their challenges, remembering the wise words of Winston Churchill: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” 怀着感激之情,他们欣然接受挑战,记得温斯顿·丘吉尔的智慧之言:“成功并不是终点,失败也不是致命的:重要的是坚持下去的勇气。”①尽管已经过去了几十年,我却经常回忆起我和母亲一起度过的那些珍贵的午餐时光。心存感激,因为母亲脸上的微笑和她的善良养育了现在的我!还有那些鼓舞人心的话,如“生命不止,奋斗不息”,一直在我的脑海里回响。
Though decades have passed, I constantly recall those precious lunchtimes my mother and I had together. I am forever grateful because the smiles on Mother's face and her kind act made me who I am now! And all those inspiring words like “ cease to struggle and you cease to live ” have been echoing in my mind.
留白指书画艺术创作中为使整个作品画面、章法更为协调精美而有意留下相应的空白。读后续写结尾留白给读者留有想象的空间,让读者思考,是一种深化主题的写作方式。He followed the clues and gathered the evidence, but when he finally confronted the suspect, he realized that the real criminal was someone he never suspected—his own partner. 他循着线索收集证据,但当他最终与犯罪嫌疑人对峙时,他意识到真正的罪犯是一个他从未怀疑过的人——他自己的搭档。①信从他手中掉落,内容过于沉重,无法消化。他望向窗外,城市灯光闪烁,知道他所寻求的答案现在已超出他的触及范围,消失在时间和记忆中。
