穿越海洋

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech today is 'Crossing the Sea'.女士們、先生們，晚上好。今天，我演講的題目是:《穿越海洋》。An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in his poem 'We and They':英國詩人羅得雅德?吉卜林曾寫過一首詩，名叫《我們與他們》，其中寫道:'All the people like us are We像我們的人是我們And everyone else is They其余的人是他們We live over the sea我們生活在海這邊While They live over the way他們生活在路那邊We eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives我們用牛角柄的刀叉吃豬牛肉They who gobble their rice off a leafAre horrified out of their lives.'吞吃粽葉包飯的他們嚇得要死。When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.第一次讀到這首詩，我很震驚——過去兩個(gè)民族何以如此疏離、彼此陌生?當(dāng)然今日的社會呈現(xiàn)出完全不同的情景:那些過去吃米飯的人們也開始喜歡吃魚和薯?xiàng)l。Indeed, just take China as an example: Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.的確如此，就拿中國來說，西方的生活方式已經(jīng)廣泛地影響了我們的現(xiàn)代生活，以致對于年輕人對搖滾樂著迷，全家去吃麥當(dāng)勞，老年人穿蘋果牌牛仔褲，大家都已習(xí)以為常。However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality.Just look around.然而，這不過是我們當(dāng)今社會中所發(fā)生的文化變遷的表面現(xiàn)象而已，真正發(fā)生的卻是我們的民族心理開始了微妙而又有重大意義的重建，大家只要看看周圍就會清楚。How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government?不久以前，大學(xué)生還只是束手空坐，等待政府給他們分配工作;如今，又有多少大學(xué)生正在做充分準(zhǔn)備，為爭取任何工作機(jī)會而激烈角逐?How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.20年前年輕人還完全依靠父母為他們安排未來，今天又有多少年輕人在急切地尋求一種獨(dú)立的生活?試問今天參加演講比賽的諸位，誰不是帶著志在一搏的心情來到這里?誰不是鐵下心來贏得這場比賽以實(shí)現(xiàn)自我?如今年輕人毫無顧忌地宣泄情感當(dāng)眾親吻，我確信，倘若孔子在世，他必被嚇壞。It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.很明顯，我們這些東方古老文明的后裔們早已生活在西方文化的強(qiáng)烈影響之下，然而出現(xiàn)這種異質(zhì)文化合流的現(xiàn)象不止是在中國。Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s,in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.以美國為例，20世紀(jì)80年代，面對來自日本的強(qiáng)大競爭壓力，許多美國公司如福特公司開始采用對手的集體合作管理方式，而這種方式正是東方文化核心之精華。Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between Yin and Yang within the body--an idea which would strike any Westerner as incredible in the past!再以中華針灸為例，這種傳統(tǒng)的醫(yī)療方法以及這種療法的依據(jù)——即人體陰陽失調(diào)導(dǎo)致疾病最終得到西方社會的承認(rèn)，而在過去，西方人還認(rèn)為這是無稽之談。Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before.We live in a particular era when countries, East and West, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values.We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.女士們，先生們，我們恰逢一個(gè)偉大的時(shí)代:全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化、信息革命使得世界各種文化聯(lián)系比以往更加緊密;我們恰逢一個(gè)特殊的年代:無論是東方國家還是西方國家都意識到自身急需調(diào)整傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值。與此同時(shí)，我們正生活在發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻:種族沖突，地區(qū)動蕩正越來越威脅著整個(gè)人類的和平與幸福。如何對待這一時(shí)代，擁抱更加燦爛的未來，我們需要學(xué)會在越來越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。My dear fellow students, our command of the English language renders it possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.親愛的同學(xué)們，我們掌握英語，得以了解西方文化，與此同時(shí)，又不失本民族的文化特征。Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.因此，促進(jìn)中國與世界的文化交流與相互理解是我們神圣的責(zé)任。It is my happiest dream that the new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca-Cola and watching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.我有一個(gè)美好的夢想，我夢想中國的年輕一代不僅僅在喝可口可樂、看好萊塢影片中成長，而且還受益于我們的父輩所從未夢想過的多元文化所帶來的深遠(yuǎn)影響。To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again: 最后，再次以羅得雅德?吉卜林的詩作為我此次演講的結(jié)尾:'All the people like us are We像我們的人是我們And everyone else is They其余的人是他們But once you cross over the sea然而一旦你們穿洋越海You will end by looking on We就不會再把我們As only a sort of They'看做僅僅是他們。Thank you.謝謝。

第二篇：第三屆21世紀(jì)杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍梁勵敏

思維的游戲——第三屆21世紀(jì)杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍梁勵敏

31第三屆21世紀(jì)杯全國英語演講比賽冠軍梁勵敏

可能是由于我對英語學(xué)習(xí)一直懷著巨大的熱情，同時(shí)成績也不錯(cuò)的緣故吧，從中學(xué)起我就成了各種英語比賽的常客，尤其在大學(xué)階段，我有幸兩次參加全國性的英語賽事。如今，當(dāng)時(shí)比賽中扣人心弦的種種情形已漸漸被時(shí)間沖淡，只在偶然間會被重新記起。然而備戰(zhàn)的過程卻給我留下了許多值得回味的東西，它在潛移默化中影響甚至是改變著我的生活。

北外—青春的課堂

如果有人問我，大學(xué)時(shí)代感受最深、收獲最大的是什么？我會毫不猶豫的說，是有幸得到諸多良師的指點(diǎn)。他們賦予我的，不但是知識上的熏陶，更是把一種人文主義的精神長久的植入我的腦海。這些感受，許多來自課堂，也有許多來自數(shù)次為參加全國比賽而進(jìn)行的集訓(xùn)。

楊宇光老師是我兩次比賽的指導(dǎo)老師，1997年辯論賽時(shí)他就是我們辯論隊(duì)的主教練。印象中他永遠(yuǎn)的治學(xué)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，永遠(yuǎn)的紳士風(fēng)度，永遠(yuǎn)說用詞考究的British English，有著英國式的幽默。盡管當(dāng)時(shí)比賽的辯題并不是特別深刻的學(xué)術(shù)話題，但他依然要求我們深入破題，在底下做充分的research。為了給我們拓寬思路，他屢次召集系里的熱心老師，從老教授到年輕教員，與我們一同討論。用他的話來說，只有充分剖析，寫出來的東西才能有分量——這也是北外的學(xué)術(shù)傳統(tǒng)的體現(xiàn)。為了指導(dǎo)我們，他放棄了許多休息的時(shí)間。對我們的presentation，他逐字逐句進(jìn)行修改；幾乎每天他都親自安排我們的訓(xùn)練并細(xì)心點(diǎn)評我們發(fā)揮中的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。

到了第二年演講賽的時(shí)候，他又成為我的指導(dǎo)老師。當(dāng)時(shí)我的演講稿寫得并不順。有的學(xué)校在這種大賽時(shí)采取老師替學(xué)生捉刀的方法，準(zhǔn)備演講部分的寫作就由老師代勞。但楊老師始終認(rèn)為，這一環(huán)節(jié)也是對學(xué)生極好的鍛煉。記得那一個(gè)講稿，我重寫了兩三遍，每一遍都對選題有了更深的理解，寫得也更好一些。比賽時(shí)間迫近了，他把學(xué)院參加第一屆“21世紀(jì)杯”并獲獎的師兄徐翌成找來，說，“Let’s put our heads together, and make a final effort at it.”那天晚上，我們改稿改到深夜，終于拿出了一個(gè)令人滿意的version，稿子比我自己的更大氣，更層層深入，也更有文采。這篇文章為我的比賽增色不少，而經(jīng)過賽前的充分準(zhǔn)備，我在回答問題部分和即興演講部分也發(fā)揮得很好，正式宣布結(jié)果前，老師走過來微笑著拍拍我的肩，說“I think we made it this time.”And we did.在我們比賽的智囊團(tuán)中，還有許多老師給我留下了深刻印象。楊立民老師就是其中的一位。他是一位充滿智慧，學(xué)識淵博，又帶一點(diǎn)cynical的教授。年逾花甲的他，常常還穿著牛仔褲出現(xiàn)在校園里，見了我們總是樂呵呵的，玩笑不斷，常常能出驚人之語。記得準(zhǔn)備辯

論的時(shí)候，他把辯論精辟的歸結(jié)為“an exchange of ignorance” — 因?yàn)檗q論往往使雙方囿于自己一方的觀點(diǎn)而不能心平氣和的聆聽對方的論證。到演講比賽時(shí)，他又拿選題—摘自莎翁劇本的一句話“All the world is a stage”—借題發(fā)揮。他說，“All the world is a stage.Men and women are actors.There are comedies and tragedies.And the speech contest is a farce.”暗喻演講比賽很難避免的showcase的因素，令人捧腹不已。這就是他的風(fēng)格——在漫不經(jīng)心的評說中透出耐人尋味的哲理。他雖然如此輕描淡寫，但在每次brain storming session上，卻又能智光四射的給我們提供許多思想的火花。對他的厚積薄發(fā)，我們時(shí)常感到由衷的折服。

演講，辯論賽的備戰(zhàn)，因其能夠得到學(xué)院的最強(qiáng)的師資陣容的點(diǎn)撥，而令所有過來人受益匪淺。記得1995年復(fù)旦大學(xué)奪得華語國際大專辯論賽冠軍后出版的《獅城舌戰(zhàn)》一書中，選手們把由多位資深教授給他們準(zhǔn)備的系列講座稱為“濃縮的精神大餐”，把思辨的訓(xùn)練稱為“把神經(jīng)繃到極細(xì)的線”的生活。而我們當(dāng)時(shí)訓(xùn)練的規(guī)模雖小，卻也能讓我們深深體會到此中的滋味，這實(shí)為人生的幸事。

有人說，人們可以忘記年年歲歲，卻無法忘記片刻與瞬間，正是這些片刻與瞬間，讓短暫成為永恒。正是與老師朝夕相處的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴，讓我領(lǐng)悟到他們的治學(xué)和做人之道。我們深諳，比賽的勝負(fù)其實(shí)并不是最重要的，它只是我們鍛煉自身素質(zhì)的一種途徑，而更值得回味的，是過程中的所得，是領(lǐng)會那種踏踏實(shí)實(shí)的做學(xué)問的精神。

這對我來說是一筆永久的精神財(cái)富。

語言的錘煉和思維的游戲

備戰(zhàn)比賽的過程本身對于我是非常rewarding的經(jīng)歷。

演講稿，辯論詞的寫作是沉淀思想、錘煉語言的好機(jī)會。我記得當(dāng)年“21世紀(jì)杯”的演講題是“East and West, Can We Live in Two Cultures”，要把這樣大的一個(gè)題目在四分鐘之內(nèi)說清楚，說精彩實(shí)非易事。寫作的過程是一個(gè)painstaking process, 我從構(gòu)思到定稿大概花了三周多的時(shí)間，而且?guī)滓灼涓濉６q論賽中的presentation，更是要求寫得邏輯縝密，絲絲入扣，兼具文采。我們常常要在短時(shí)間內(nèi)同時(shí)就一個(gè)辯題寫正反兩方的辯詞，這種寫作的訓(xùn)練，在平時(shí)是很少見的。

口頭實(shí)戰(zhàn)訓(xùn)練則無疑是強(qiáng)化口語的最佳途徑。在講臺上或在辯場上，我們需要擁有一個(gè)清醒而敏捷的頭腦，并習(xí)慣用英語思維。有人說口才好是天生的，這也許有幾分道理，但我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)告訴我，后天的訓(xùn)練也不可小覷。通過每天的強(qiáng)化訓(xùn)練，我們漸漸習(xí)慣于“think while we speak”，語言也變得越來越流利, 甚至能夠在即興的辯論中不時(shí)冒出精彩之語?，F(xiàn)在想來，集訓(xùn)的那段時(shí)間，我的英語口語水平，寫作能力和口才可以說是達(dá)到了學(xué)生時(shí)代的一個(gè)高峰。

比賽給我語言上的幫助可能還在其次，更重要的是它是一種思維的游戲。即興演講和辯論賽對于選手心智的磨練都是非常taxing的。它們都要求我們就某一個(gè)controversial issue在短時(shí)間的思考后take sides, 然后在腦子里迅速羅列問題正反兩方的major arguments并抓住自己支持的一方進(jìn)行有條不紊、清楚有力的闡述。

不過，演講因?yàn)槿狈εc人針鋒相對的交鋒，還僅僅是一個(gè)人的思維的“直線式”的表達(dá)。相比之下，辯論則是在雙方劍拔弩張的緊張氣氛中對于參加者的語言和思想的更為嚴(yán)峻的考驗(yàn)，可以說是口語交流中的最高境界。一個(gè)勢均力敵的選題，給雙方都有很大的辯論空間，辯手運(yùn)用嚴(yán)密的邏輯論證和各種辯論技巧，可以形成很精彩的對話。即便看似uneven的選題中處于劣勢的一方，也常?？梢源蚱茟T性思維，從另一個(gè)角度或常識的相反面去思考，從中找到合理而有說服力的論證，“山窮水復(fù)疑無路，柳暗花明又一村”。我覺得這種充分激發(fā)思維的活力，從不同角度來思考問題的方式，對習(xí)慣了一言堂，習(xí)慣去尋找一個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案的中國學(xué)生而言，更值得提倡。當(dāng)然，由于辯論雙方都必須堅(jiān)持己見，觀點(diǎn)有時(shí)難免偏頗，但不論怎樣，我覺得從純粹的intellectual exercise來看，辯論還是不可多得的訓(xùn)練方法。

國外許多知名大學(xué)都有speech club和debating club。而記得我作為“21世紀(jì)杯”演講賽的獲勝者參加英國English Speaking Union的workshop的時(shí)候，也親眼目睹許多外國朋友年紀(jì)小小就成為出色而老練的演講者、辯手，不由感嘆西方良好oral tradition對年輕人的熏陶。相比之下，我國的教育在這一塊就欠缺許多了。正因?yàn)檫@樣，當(dāng)年比賽時(shí)就有老師感慨，不應(yīng)只有參賽的一小部分同學(xué)得益于這一類的口語和思維訓(xùn)練，也不應(yīng)只為比賽而比賽，而應(yīng)當(dāng)將這種培訓(xùn)機(jī)制化、經(jīng)?；?，使更多的同學(xué)感受此中的妙趣，得到鍛煉。推廣這一類的社團(tuán)，從小處講，可以培養(yǎng)個(gè)人的口才和能力，從大處講，有助于推動民主空氣的形成。

學(xué)會挑戰(zhàn)自我任何一個(gè)比賽，都不僅是實(shí)力的比拼，也是心理素質(zhì)的較量。中國不像西方那樣有很好的oral tradition, 能夠在大庭廣眾之下對自己的觀點(diǎn)侃侃而談，這對許多在傳統(tǒng)教育模式下成長起來的擅長考試而訥于口語表達(dá)的中國學(xué)生來說是一個(gè)不小的挑戰(zhàn)。同時(shí)，比賽不僅是數(shù)十名選手展示個(gè)人風(fēng)采的舞臺，也是各高校之間暗自較量的地方，選手往往還肩負(fù)著學(xué)校榮譽(yù)的擔(dān)子。因此，如何很好的對待自身和外界的壓力，發(fā)揮自己的水平，是除了實(shí)力之外演講者要面對的另一大問題。

1998年我參加演講比賽時(shí)是頂著挺大的壓力的。這不僅由于比賽的規(guī)模和影響力之大，也由于此前一年，我代表學(xué)校參加“外研杯”英語辯論賽與冠軍失之交臂。因此再次參賽時(shí)我就有一種患得患失的心理，生怕這一次不能取得更好的成績，“無顏面對江東父老”。

壓力對每個(gè)選手來說都是存在的，如何排解它還要看自己。海明威有一句名言“重壓下的輕松”(grace under pressure)，是我很欣賞的，但要做到并不容易。我記得在備戰(zhàn)的過程中有一部名為“Listen to Me”的美國電影給了我很大的激勵。影片講述的是一支名不見經(jīng)傳的大學(xué)辯論隊(duì)克服重重困難，最終挫敗來自名校的對手，折桂全美大學(xué)辯論賽的故事。從他們的刻苦訓(xùn)練和慷慨陳詞中，我似乎感受到一種敢于挑戰(zhàn)自身極限的勇氣?？赡苁窃谶@種心態(tài)下，我做到了把勝負(fù)暫且置之度外，經(jīng)過充分的準(zhǔn)備，最終奪冠。

生活不總是賽場，但這種頂住壓力、自我超越的精神卻能夠指導(dǎo)我們的生活。研究生畢業(yè)后，我考入中央電視臺英語頻道成為一名記者。有的朋友對我的選擇頗感意外。因?yàn)槲倚愿癖容^內(nèi)向，似乎與風(fēng)風(fēng)火火的記者形象不夠“match”。但對我來說，這恰是一個(gè)welcoming challenge.兩年多的記者生涯使我對生活有了新的感悟。如果說學(xué)生時(shí)代賦予你一個(gè)寬松的環(huán)境可以悠閑的做一點(diǎn)學(xué)問，你習(xí)慣了與老師同學(xué)，書本里的先哲和自己腦海中的假想人物對話，那么記者的生活則完全不同——整天跟時(shí)間賽跑，與形形色色的人交流，然后要求自己在極有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)寫稿，編片，讓新聞在第一時(shí)間播出去。適逢在外地報(bào)道，或是針對一個(gè)突發(fā)事件的報(bào)道，那么對記者的要求就更為苛刻。任何狀況都可能隨時(shí)出現(xiàn)— 聯(lián)系采訪困難重重；寫稿的時(shí)間特別緊張；做出鏡的時(shí)候，由于時(shí)間和場景所限，可能必須一遍過關(guān)，還不能是平鋪直敘；在傳送片子的時(shí)候隨時(shí)都可能出現(xiàn)意外。相比之下，當(dāng)年演講賽面對的那種壓力，可能就不算什么了。壓力雖然很大，但每每在完成各種看似的mission impossible的時(shí)候，我的成就感也是巨大的。記得在齊齊哈爾采訪日軍遺留化學(xué)武器造成重大傷亡的新聞的時(shí)候，我遇到了上述所有的困難。不過還是咬牙一個(gè)個(gè)克服了，我在一周的時(shí)間內(nèi)發(fā)回了系列報(bào)道，有的還是獨(dú)家采訪。其中有一條新聞后來獲得全國新聞彩虹獎二等獎。

六年過去了，北外的學(xué)生生活已成為我青春的背影，演講比賽的諸多細(xì)節(jié)隨時(shí)間的流轉(zhuǎn)成為逝去的記憶。在這六年里我的生活也發(fā)生了諸多變化，而當(dāng)年那些為比賽全身心投入過，期待過，哭過和笑過的日子則成為大學(xué)生活美好記憶的裝點(diǎn)。我想，在學(xué)生生活里有過這樣一段經(jīng)歷，是彌足珍貴的，而這種人生體驗(yàn)還將在無形中影響我今后的人生旅程。

第三篇：全國英語演講比賽冠軍演講稿

第八屆“21世紀(jì)·愛立信杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍-上海外國語大

學(xué)顧秋蓓演講稿

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical 1)therapist(臨床醫(yī)學(xué)家)who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2)census(調(diào)查)about

mountain 3)gorillas(大猩猩).These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 4)poaching(偷獵)and being put into the zoo.She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5)cuddled(擁抱)their babies。

Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs.Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6)timeless(永恒的)reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has

turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth.It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore.Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal.Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica.Tribal people are

forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.All these 7)appalling(令人震驚的)facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8)eroding(侵蝕)our resources.Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's

attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection

organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9)plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10)invalids(殘疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from

ecological damage in their neighborhood.Why? Because they care.Because they still want their Mother Nature back.Because they know it still belongs to them.This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some-thing else, someplace else.a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Dian Fossey be-cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our

ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.

第四篇：全國英語演講比賽冠軍

初中版low-carbon life

開場白：Good morning, my dear teachers and classmates.My name is Qin Zebang.I’m happy to stand here and I’m honored to give a speech.My topic is Protect the environment and live a low-carbon life.正文：

Now I want to talk about a beautiful world!I always dream that I could live in a beautiful country.There are many flowers and trees around our city.We could hear the birds singing and see the children dancing.The streets are clear and the air is very fresh!How nice it is!But that is only a dream of mine!The reality is that nearly everyday we could see traffic jam because more and more people are using private cars which polluted the air much.We seldom enjoy the fresh air because we always stay in the air-conditioned rooms..Everyone should make ato protect the environment.Taking care of our environment is very important.No matter where we live, we can do something around our neighborhood.Have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground? Have you ever drawn pictures on public walls? Have you ever cut down trees? If your answers are “No”, it means that you have already helped protect our environment.It is our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy.You might ask yourself, “Have I ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin?

A Scene to Remember

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas.These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo.She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been,where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.今天，我想首先用一個(gè)小故事。曾經(jīng)有一個(gè)物理治療師誰親赴從美國到非洲做一個(gè)關(guān)于山地大猩猩普查。這些大猩猩是對游客的吸引力，主要來自世界各地，這使他們嚴(yán)重不足的偷獵威脅，目前到動物園付諸表決。她去了好奇，但她看見她的決心，增強(qiáng)她的一生奉獻(xiàn)為這些美麗的生物戰(zhàn)斗。她親眼目睹的場景，場景帶我們到一個(gè)地方，我們從來沒有影像，我們經(jīng)歷過的，其中在非洲熱帶雨林的深處，樹木，花卉，蝴蝶，大猩猩包圍的母親擁抱自己的嬰兒。

Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs.Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.是的，在我最喜歡的電影之一難忘的場景，呼吁在薄霧大猩猩的基礎(chǔ)上，戴安娜弗西夫人，誰在此度過了一生中最盧旺達(dá)保護(hù)，直到她生命的最后的生態(tài)環(huán)境有真實(shí)的故事。

To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.對我來說，電影，不僅提供了一個(gè)難忘的場景，而且也是一個(gè)永恒提醒我們，我們不應(yīng)該在發(fā)展我們的生態(tài)成本，環(huán)境，旅游業(yè)行為。

Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth.It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.But on the other hand, many problems can occurbig notes, small notes or even coins-from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.Some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.Why? Because they care.Because they still want their Mother Nature back.Because they know it still belongs to them.現(xiàn)在每年有很多地方ecoenvironmental保護(hù)組織接受捐贈-大筆記，筆記，甚至小硬幣-從家庭主婦，管道工，救護(hù)車司機(jī)，售貨員，教師，兒童和殘疾人。其中一些人可沒有錢給的錢，但他們這樣做。這是誰駕駛的出租車，誰在醫(yī)院護(hù)士，誰從他們所在地區(qū)的生態(tài)破壞的痛苦。為什么？因?yàn)樗麄兊恼疹櫋Ｒ驗(yàn)樗麄內(nèi)匀幌Ｍ麄兓氐酱笞匀?。因?yàn)樗麄冎浪匀粚儆谒麄儭?/p>

This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it，it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.這種感覺，我有，女士們，先生們，是當(dāng)它的感覺，喜歡這種氣味，而且看來，這一切都從一個(gè)場景來記住，一個(gè)場景回顧和珍惜。

The other night, as I saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.有一天晚上，我看見月亮徘徊在土地和前被送進(jìn)了無形的，心里卻充滿了歌曲。我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己輕輕哼唱，而不是音樂，而是別的東西，別的地方，一個(gè)地方記住，一個(gè)地方不動，一個(gè)草地，再沒有人似乎除了鹿被。

And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Diana Fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.和那些難忘的情景更增強(qiáng)了的感覺，現(xiàn)在需要我們做一些事情，為我們自己和我們的未來一代。再次，我所認(rèn)為的夫人戴安娜弗西，因?yàn)樗c她的精神，熱情，勇氣和強(qiáng)烈的生態(tài)環(huán)境，我們的感覺是，我們正在進(jìn)入世界的下一個(gè)步驟。

And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.不管我們是誰，我們做什么，而且我們?nèi)?，在我們的腦海，總有一個(gè)場景要記住，一個(gè)值得努力保護(hù)，并爭取的場景。Thank you very much.The rhythm of life 第十五屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍李億演講稿

Ladies and Gentlemen:

How well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? In our busy day to day existence, we don’t often stop to ask ourselves this question.At least I don’t.And it wasn’t until I joined a competitive sporting event that I learned a most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.Let me tell you what happened.I decided to take part in an International Marathon in my hometown last year.Being an ambitious person, I hoped to finish it within 5 hours, accompanied by my friend with whom I had trained.The big day finally arrived.“Ready...set...bang” And we were off.At first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop.At this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and I thought running a marathon was a piece of cake.Then my running mate began to slow down.I urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy.I felt I had partnered with the wrong person;therefore, I sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.A few kilometers later, I began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk.After that I was incapable of moving another step.I was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me.More than once I thought “Maybe I should quit.” I started to doubt my ability to finish this race.At this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back.“Follow me,” he shouted.He had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same.For the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again.Slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.Eventually we accomplished our first Marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours.I asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? My Marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.Like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions.Like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty.And from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements.It is the interaction of these complementary extremes that produces harmony, as Laozi said, extremes meet.Since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak.Yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.Ladies and Gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.Thank you for listening．

全國英語演講比賽冠軍演講稿

“21世紀(jì)·愛立信杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍得主的演講稿：

To me March 28th was a lucky day.It was on that particular evening that I found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.Winning the “21st Century·Ericsson Cup” Seventh National English Speaking Competition is a memory that I shall treasure and one that will surely stay.More important than winning the Cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage.Also the competition helps boost public speaking in China, a skill hitherto undervalued.For me, though, the competition is a more personal experience.Habitually shy, I had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.Encouraged by my friends, however, I made a last-minute decision to give it a try.In the course of preparation I somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.I found that, after all, I like communicating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.At a more practical level, I realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.To take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.This ability improves with training.Yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.Those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours.Language is a means

to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication.It should be lucid to be penetrating.In China, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?

Above all, the single most important thing I learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.And second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.Only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.Pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: Is your language competent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood?

I was informed afterwards that I was chosen to be the winner for my “appropriately worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response”.In so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.Some contestants failed to address their questions head on.Some were able to, but did not knowswheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.The root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.Or they were thinking of what they had prepared.As I said in my speech, “It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way”.We need to respond honestly.A competition like this draws talented students from all over the country.And of course, I learnt more things than just about public speaking.Since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication.And this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.And the following is the final version of my speech:

GLOBALIZATION:

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

FOR CHINA'S YOUNGER GENERATION

Thirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made an epoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at that time.Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, “Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no communication”.Thirty years since, China and America have exchanged many handshakes.The fundamental implication of this example is that the need to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.As we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism.Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world.Underlying this mighty trend of global communication is the echo of E.M.Forster's words “Only connect!”

With the IT revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshedsintosone large melting pot of humanity.In

this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.We have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.China is now actively integratingsintosthe world.Our recent entry to the WTO is a good example.For decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order.From a precarious role in the world arena to our present WTO membership, we have come a long way.But what does the way ahead look like? In some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.Are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? Instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.Globalization, they argue, should be about a common interest in every other nation's economic health.We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity.This has become a reality.Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy.They are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.For China, still more challenges exist.How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all.Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community.But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our

mind to bigger issues.There might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way.This is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech
