范文：
the picture conveys a strong patriotic meaning. it portrays a common natural phenomenon: when autumn arrives, leaves from trees will fall to the ground. the fallen leaves will not abandon the tree that they came from. on the contrary, the leaves fall down around the tree in order to cultivate the tree’s roots, which symbolize one’s motherland.
patriotism implies a love for one’s mother country. it is the noblest of human sentiments. every citizen should possess some spirit of patriotism. patriotism, however, is not to be testified by the tongue; it should be manifested in action. with this definite object in view, one must do his best for his motherland, and, at any moment, be ready to make sacrifices for her. the man who possesses such will is a real patriot at heart.
patriotism may be shown in various ways: soldiers display it by fighting for or defending their country; scientists express it by doing constant research work so that more advanced technology can be introduced and utilized in the construction of their motherland; those overseas demonstrate it by doing whatever they can to help their motherland and fall into its embrace without hesitation whenever they are needed.
the true patriot desires righteousness and uprightness for one’s own land. he puts love of his country before the love of himself, and is willing to makeany sacrifice for it.
译文：
图片表达了一种强烈的爱国主义情怀。它描绘了一个非常普通的自然现象：秋天来临，落叶归根。落叶不会远离大树而去，相反，它们落在树的周围来滋养大树的根基，树根象征着祖国母亲。
爱国主义意味着人们对祖国的热爱。它是人类最高尚的情感。每一个公民都应当具有爱国主义精神。爱国主义不能停留在口头上，而应当落实在行动上。有了这个明确的目标，人们必须尽力报效祖国并时刻准备为祖国牺牲一切。在内心里具有这样精神的人才是真正的爱国主义者。爱国主义表现在各个方面：士兵的爱国主义精神体现在为保卫祖国而战；科学家的爱国主义精神体现在孜孜不倦的'科研工作，把更先进的技术引进并应用在祖国的建设中；海外华人的爱国主义精神则体现在尽其最大努力帮助建设自己的祖国，并且在祖国需要的时候毫不犹豫地投入祖国母亲的怀抱。
真正的爱国主义者对自己的祖国是正直无私和忠心耿耿的。他把祖国的利益放在个人利益之上，并且为了祖国的利益甘愿牺牲自己的一切。
