第一篇:大學(xué)英語演講稿(含翻譯)
How to Be Popular
Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal.What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very simple.The first step is to improve our appearance.We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well.When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better.In addition, we should smile and appear friendly.After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance.If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.Another important step is developing more consideration for others.We should always put others first and place their interests before our own.It's also important to be good listeners;in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us.However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip.Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies.Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect.If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.如何才能受人歡迎
大部分的人都想受人歡迎,但是并非每個人都能達(dá)到目標(biāo)。受歡迎的秘訣何在?事實(shí)上是很簡單的。步驟一,先改善我們的外表。我們得確保自己很健康,并且穿著體面。當(dāng)我們既健康又穿戴整齊時,不僅看起來更有精神,自己也會覺得好多了。此外,我們要保持微笑并表現(xiàn)得很友善。畢竟,臉部表情是外觀很重要的一環(huán)。如果我們能做到這一點(diǎn),別人會被我們的美好外表所吸引,并對我們的自信印象深刻。
另一個重要步驟,就是培養(yǎng)對別人的體貼。永遠(yuǎn)以他人為重,并把別人的利益放在自己的利益之前。當(dāng)個好聽眾也是很重要的;如此一來,別人才能很自在地對我們吐露心事。然而,不管我們做什么事,絕對不要說閑言閑語。最重要的是,要做自己,不要當(dāng)虛偽的人。只有對人真誠又尊重時,才能贏得他人的尊敬。如果我們能做到以上幾點(diǎn),我相信受人歡迎是指日可待的事。Learn How to Say No
We've all been taught that we should help people.It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others.It may even win us favors in return.However, we must be realistic.We can't say yes to every request.If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure.Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help.In this case, we must know how to say no politely.When we need to say no, here is one method we can try.First, we should tell the truth.If we really can't do something, we should just say so.Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely.We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic.A true friend will understand.Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no.Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do.It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble.In short, we cannot please everyone all the time.Refusing favors is a part of life.學(xué)習(xí)如何說不 我們都被教導(dǎo)說,我們應(yīng)該要幫助別人。這是應(yīng)該做的事,而且這樣做會使我們受人歡迎。它甚至?xí)槲覀冓A得一些回報(bào)。但是,我們必須要實(shí)際一點(diǎn)。我們不能答應(yīng)每一個要求。如果我們這么做,我們就一定會失敗或發(fā)瘋。有時候我們確實(shí)沒有時間去幫忙。既然如此,我們就必須知道如何有禮貌地說不。
當(dāng)我們需要說不的時候,有個辦法我們可以試試。首先,我們應(yīng)該要說實(shí)話。假如我們真的辦不到某件事,我們就應(yīng)該說不。第二,我們應(yīng)該記得要客氣地拒絕對方的要求。我們 必須清楚地表達(dá),但態(tài)度也必須真誠并且表示同情。一個真正的朋友會諒解的。最后,我們不必為了說不而覺得有罪惡感。有時候拒絕別人才是我們應(yīng)該做的事。它可以替我們自己和別人,都省下許多麻煩??偠灾覀儫o法一直取悅每個人。拒絕請求是人生的一部分。
How to Sell Yourself
In this competitive society it is essential to know how to sell yourself in order to get the job you want.That means you must be able to market your best features and present yourself in the best light.After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.There are several things you can do to project a good image in an interview.First of all, look like a winner.Dress conservatively and well, and you'll look like you're going to the top.Second, communicate clearly.Consider each question carefully and respond with total honesty.Remember to make eye contact and maintain good posture.You need to look attentive but also at ease.Third, have a positive and assertive attitude.It's important to appear confident of your ability and optimistic about your future.Finally, be prepared.Present a professional resume and be ready to explain everything in detail.By following the advice above, you are bound to make a good impression on potential employers.Then you will be able to choose the best opportunity for you and take that first step towards success.如何自我推銷
在這個競爭激烈的社會中,為了得到你想要的工作,知道如何自我推銷是很重要的。也就是說,你必須能夠銷售你最好的特點(diǎn),并把你最好的一面呈現(xiàn)出來。畢竟,第一印象定江山。
要在面試時表現(xiàn)出好的一面,你可以做幾件事情。首先,要看起來像個贏家。穿著保守而體面,會使你看起來像是就要成功了。第二,要能清楚地表達(dá)。仔細(xì)地考慮每個問題,并據(jù)實(shí)回答。記得要和對方有目光接觸,并保持良好的姿勢。你必須看起來專注而自在。第三,態(tài)度要積極而有自信。對你的能力有信心,并對你的未來感到樂觀是很重要的。最后,要充分準(zhǔn)備。遞上一份專業(yè)的簡歷,并準(zhǔn)備好詳細(xì)解釋每件事。
遵照以上的建議,你就一定會給可能成為你老板的那些人,留下好的印象。然后你就可以選擇對你而言最好的機(jī)會。并踏出邁向成功的第一步。Responsibility is a Badge of Honour for Youth(96年“21世紀(jì)杯全國大學(xué)生英語演講比賽”二等獎獲得者,北京外國語大學(xué)徐義成)
Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest.It is an assembly of some of China's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me.but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, “Could you please explain this to me? I want very much to do better this time.” I started explaining, and finished in a hurry.Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off quickly.Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer.No one ever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself.I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, “Why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?”
I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word “responsibility” and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures.But never again did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can.As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself.New buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.New ideas, new information, new technologies.People can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds.Society is becoming more competitive.Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.Such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it.Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.We hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.Such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.History has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.But this doesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I will be living.Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity.But that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.We are not going to evade that responsibility.We are going to let people down.And people, far and near, will hear of us.Frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.責(zé)任感——青年人榮譽(yù)的標(biāo)志
站在臺上面對大家,我心情十分激動。好像是在參加一次歷史性的長征。我們今天面對的遠(yuǎn)不只一場競賽或角逐。這是才華出眾,生氣勃勃的中國青年的一次聚會。我們是青年一代的代表。為迎接新世紀(jì)的到來,我們正在從各方面作好準(zhǔn)備。在這一歷史時刻,能有機(jī)會代表同齡人在此認(rèn)真地回顧于國于己都至關(guān)重要的過去的15年,我感激萬分。
盡管只能談?wù)剛€人經(jīng)歷,而且只涉及其中一個小小的片段,但我相信,它仍然折射出對我和在過去15年間一同成長起來的青年人都不可缺少的一種思想基礎(chǔ)。我上小學(xué)時,班上有位小姑娘,學(xué)習(xí)非??炭喽煽儏s不盡人意。
老師要我?guī)椭?吹贸?,她也寄厚望于我。但我那時還是個小男孩,坐不住,不懂事。我老是ME避她。以便有更多時間自己玩。
期末考試前一天,她來求我說“請你給我講解一下行嗎?這次我很想考得好一點(diǎn)?!蔽议_始給她講解,不一會兒便草草收場,假裝沒有察覺她迷茫的眼神,一溜煙兒地跑開了。不出所料,這次她又考砸了。兩個月后,新學(xué)期依始,傳來她死于血癌的消息。我沒有完成那項(xiàng)小小的任務(wù),無人知曉。但我卻不能原諒自己。她的眼睛令我難以忘懷,仿佛在責(zé)問我,“你為什么不愿多幫助我呢?這對于你來說,并不費(fèi)事。你為什么不能理解我對你的信賴,而讓我?guī)е纯嗪瓦z憾離開這個世界?”
我當(dāng)時才八九歲。但從某種意義上講,這件事成了我生活的新起點(diǎn)。因?yàn)槲议_始體會到“責(zé)任”二字的意義,并盡心盡力地學(xué)著完成自己的義務(wù)。我也逐漸領(lǐng)會了這個神圣字眼的深刻內(nèi)含:人與人之間的彼此需要和信任、合作和依賴正是人類社會存在的基礎(chǔ)。
之后,我在生活中又經(jīng)受過多次失敗,但那小姑娘之死所引起的懊悔,心里卻不曾再現(xiàn)。想到自己做每一件事都能盡職盡責(zé),一種滿足之感便油然而生。
此事及類似的多起事件改變了我,完善了我。當(dāng)我長大成人,我開始領(lǐng)悟周圍發(fā)生的一切變化。我發(fā)現(xiàn),從某種意義上說,社會跟我一樣,正處在一個自我完善的時期。新建筑、新商品、新款式一天一個樣。新思維、新信息、新技術(shù)層出不窮。即便萬里相隔,人們在轉(zhuǎn)瞬之間即可相互交談。社會競爭越演越烈。人們越來越強(qiáng)調(diào)個性和創(chuàng)造性。越來越多的人因工作努力而受到獎賞。這就是當(dāng)今的時代,一代新人由成長邁入成熟的時代。這是我們這一代人接替父輩治國安邦的時代。然而,我們也面臨很多間題。
據(jù)悉,壞人在光天化日之下作惡,周圍的群眾居然袖手旁觀,無動于衷。我還聽說,目前我國尚有100萬兒童連小學(xué)也上不起,而巨額資金卻拿去舉辦奢侈的宴會和購置豪華的轎車。
我們常常買的是劣質(zhì)藥品,或名曰藥品實(shí)為一文不值的廢物,非但不能除病去痛,反而會使病情加重。在某些人看來,世上金錢最寶貴,只要能賺錢,不惜犧牲道德和責(zé)任。
因而,這個時代賦予我們的是更強(qiáng)烈的競爭和效率意識,使我們更善于批判性地思考和創(chuàng)造性地行動。
此外,這個時代要求我們這一代人必須認(rèn)清自己肩負(fù)的歷史重任,下定決心,采取行動,解決上述問題。長期以來,歷史一直在我們這一代人身上培養(yǎng)著這些品質(zhì)?,F(xiàn)在,歷史呼喚我們挺身而出,以實(shí)際行動向全民族及全人類證實(shí)我們的拳拳愛國之心和大無畏的英雄主義。
此刻,我站在講臺上回顧15年來的學(xué)生生活。今后的歲月,我很可能平平淡淡地度過。但這絲毫不會讓我心灰意冷。因?yàn)槲抑?,憑借強(qiáng)烈的責(zé)任感和精益求精的不懈奮斗,我將追求一種有意義的生活,一種不枉此生的生活。
此刻,我站在講臺上回顧過去,15年來祖國取得的巨大成就激勵著千千萬萬的同齡人。我們之中大多數(shù)人將與名利和權(quán)力無緣。只有極少數(shù)人或許會后世留芳。對此我們絲毫也不會在意。因?yàn)槲覀冎?,世界在觀望,世界在傾聽。在這個大量機(jī)遇和激烈竟?fàn)幉⒋娴臅r代,我們國家究竟去向何方,整個世界都在關(guān)注。
我永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記班上那位小姑娘。她本應(yīng)該卻沒能和在座各位一樣享受今天美好的人生和明日充滿希望的世界。
接受新世紀(jì)的挑戰(zhàn),把我們的血汗、智慧和熱情奉獻(xiàn)給建設(shè)祖國、造福人民的偉大歷史事業(yè)。這就是我們這一代人的神圣職責(zé)。
我們決不逃避責(zé)任,決不辜負(fù)人民的期望。我們的業(yè)績將四海傳揚(yáng)。我們的故事將被反復(fù)講述,定會令人驚嘆不已,以至熱淚盈眶。
有幸與時代為伍的朋友們,讓我們勇往直前,以勝利的姿態(tài)迎接光輝燦爛的新世紀(jì)的來臨!演說者簡介】劉欣(1975一),南京大學(xué)外國語學(xué)院英語系學(xué)生,在1995年底的校級英語演講賽中脫穎而出,代表南京大學(xué)參加1996年3月22日在北京舉行的“21世紀(jì)杯全國大學(xué)生英語演講比賽”.以《選擇的重要性》為題發(fā)表演說,奪得比賽第一名。Knowing the Consequences of Choice
Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute.Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had.In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows.Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch.Finally, we agreed that we should watch the “most interesting” programme...If we could agree what that was.However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available.The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour.Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers.Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature.Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history;an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation.We enjoy the abundance of choice.But this has not come easily.About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats.It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves.The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.Like others of my age, I'm too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose.However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?
Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.I am a third-year English major.An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation.I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad.I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat.Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice.I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen.I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development.I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced.I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.All of these sound good.But they are only possibilities.To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge.To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition.In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world.This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.Fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage.But today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.Given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.Nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life.But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, I would like to say, To choose means to take responsibility.When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: “It's just my own business.” As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family.To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes.Rather, it is the whole of the human family.As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word “China” for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province.I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty.All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family.At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective.Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.選擇的重要性
去年春節(jié)期間,我陷入過一場家庭紛爭。在我回家之前,我們家的電視除了已有的14個頻道外又增加了四個衛(wèi)星頻道。晚上的黃金時間,每個頻道的節(jié)目都很精彩.結(jié)果,我們一家五口(父母,兩個姐姐和我)為了選臺而爭執(zhí)起來。最后,我們決定應(yīng)當(dāng)看“最有意思”的節(jié)目——如果我們在什么是“最有意思”上可以認(rèn)同的話。
不過我們?nèi)记宄赜浀?,買了電視后的好長一段時間里,只有一兩個頻道可供選擇。電視頻道的增多反映出我們生活中的一個重大變化:選擇余地的擴(kuò)大。
15年前,我們身著同樣的款式,單一的色調(diào)。而如今,紛繁的花色和眾多的式樣讓我們挑得眼花繚亂。
15年前,我們幾乎無報(bào)可讀。而如今,除了大大小小的中文報(bào)紙,我們還讀上了《中國日報(bào)》、《21世紀(jì)報(bào)》這樣的英文報(bào)紙。
15年前,英語專業(yè)的學(xué)生只能選語言與文學(xué)課程。而如今,我們還學(xué)習(xí)西方文化,新聞,商務(wù),國際關(guān)系,甚至還有計(jì)算機(jī)課程。
選擇的涌現(xiàn)標(biāo)志著中國進(jìn)入了一個嶄新的時代,一個充滿多樣化的時代,一個物質(zhì)與精神都愈加豐富的時代,一個中華民族獲得新生的時代。
我們?yōu)檫x擇之多而歡呼雀躍,同時也深深地感到這一切來之不易。
一個半世紀(jì)之前,在西方大炮、戰(zhàn)艦的威通下,中國被迫打開了國門。經(jīng)過祖祖輩輩的抗?fàn)幣c犧牲,我們才最終贏得了當(dāng)家作主的機(jī)會。改革開放這個正確的抉擇使一切發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化。
我和其他同齡人一樣,太年輕了、沒有經(jīng)歷過中國人喪失選擇權(quán)的歲月。但是,隨著下個世紀(jì)的腳步越走越近,我們是該們心自間了:選擇,對于我們青年一代,到底意味著什么? 選擇,是場靠僥幸來獲勝的游戲嗎?是句不用兌現(xiàn)的空話嗎?抑或是種讓人知難而退的困境? 首先,我認(rèn)為,選擇意味著抓住機(jī)遇。
我是英語專業(yè)三年級學(xué)生,我所面臨的一個重大選擇當(dāng)然是畢業(yè)后的去向。我可以攻讀碩士學(xué)位,或在國內(nèi),或在國外。我可以走上工作崗位,做名教師,翻譯,記者,編輯或外交家.實(shí)際上,雙向選擇的體制在我面前鋪開了通向各行各業(yè)的大道。說真的,這個選擇并不好做。我愿意在像北京、上海、深圳這樣的大都市里工作,我也盼著能回到雖不那么發(fā)達(dá)卻使我倍感親切的故鄉(xiāng)。我希望可以留在生活節(jié)奏快,令人興奮的沿海地帶,我也愿意扎根于廣炭的中西部地區(qū),那里雖然條件艱苦,卻有極大的發(fā)展?jié)摿?。所有這一切聽上去令人振奮,但它們畢竟只是可能性。有些人面對五花八門的選擇挑得眼花繚亂,我要告訴他們:選擇就意味著接受挑戰(zhàn)。
對于我們青年一代,挑戰(zhàn)常以竟?fàn)幍男问匠霈F(xiàn)。到下個世紀(jì),競爭者將不僅只是其他大學(xué)畢業(yè)生,更有各行各業(yè)不同年齡層的人們。隨著國際交流的不斷增多,我們得面對來自整個外部世界日益激烈的競爭,這就對我們個/、的發(fā)展提出了更高的要求。
15年前,懂門外語或會用計(jì)算機(jī)是個優(yōu)越條件。但今天,隨著受教育面的拓寬,以上的知識也成了每個人必備的條件。
在這種形勢下,即便最細(xì)小的選擇也要求我們具有極大的智慧和自主精神。
當(dāng)我們面對選擇不斷增強(qiáng)自己的主動性時,每一次選擇的結(jié)果也同樣變得愈加重要。比方說,核能可以提高人民的生活水平,可它同樣也能毀滅千百萬人的生命財(cái)產(chǎn)。
經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展使我們富裕起來,卻也給我們的空氣、水、健康帶來了嚴(yán)重危害。有些人對選擇的后果毫不在乎,我要對他們說:選擇還意味著承擔(dān)責(zé)任。我們替自己做選擇時,不能隨口一句“這不關(guān)別人的事”。作為下個世紀(jì)的決策者,我們必須承擔(dān)對和我們共同擁有這個地球的人們所負(fù)的責(zé)任。
傳統(tǒng)的中華文化教育我們,要勃奮學(xué)習(xí),努力工作,以榮耀家門。然而我認(rèn)為,這個家門并不只指諸如我的那個爭看電視的五口小家。更確切地說,它指的是整個人類這個大家庭。當(dāng)我為自己的未來做出選擇時,我不會忘記自己第一次正確讀出“China“這個單詞時老師臉上的笑容。我也不會忘記在我們的幫助下重返校園的江西山區(qū)的孩子們興奮的臉龐。我更不會忘記飽受戰(zhàn)火、饑荒、貧困蹂蹦的波斯尼亞、車臣、索馬里,不會忘記那里成千上萬的婦女兒童淚水模糊的雙眼。

I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years.I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted.But one of the panel members told me: ”You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged.“ My life has never been the same since.I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence.But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party.Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf.It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English.Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf.To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use.As the dwarf, I was a big hit.Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique.Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place.The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world.I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites.I would rather be myself.I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe.Please, be yourself.譯文:我重樹信心
大學(xué)生活的幾年里,當(dāng)我參加第一次面試時,我的自信心受到了沉重的打擊。我向“學(xué)生劇團(tuán)”申請出演一個主角,而且我十分自信地認(rèn)為我會被錄用。但是,其中有個劇團(tuán)成員告訴我:“你似乎不太合適出演這個角色,因?yàn)槟愕纳砀哂悬c(diǎn)問題?!蔽覐奈从龅竭^這種情況。我穿著高跟鞋來彌補(bǔ)我的身高,采用心理策略和技巧來掩蓋自己信心的缺乏。但是,不論我怎樣努力進(jìn)入角色,感覺還是缺少些什么。
作為英語俱樂部的主席,我為英語晚會組織排演了《白雪公主》短劇。不幸的是,我們找不到合適的人選出演最后一個小矮人。這個角色必須生性幽默,英語流利。突然,所有人的目光都轉(zhuǎn)向了我,我知道那個小矮人就是我了。讓我極度奇怪而又高興的是,一上臺,我完全投入到演出中,而且我那幽默的天性被發(fā)揮得淋漓盡致。作為一個‘’小矮人”,我取得了巨大的成功。的確,我們中的任何一個人都是千百萬中的一員,但我們中的每個人都是一個與眾不同的個體。發(fā)揮我們自己的個性會改變我們的生活,使它們成為美麗的萬花筒。
失去了多樣性的世界是個冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲劇不是個矮、害羞或丑陋,而是將自己的個性迷失在一個克隆的世界里,那里到處都是典型的酷男孩或無瑕、迷人的好姑娘。如果讓我選擇,我寧可面貌五陋,也不愿生活在這樣一個世界里。我寧可做一個伴隨“白雪公主”的真實(shí)的小矮人,也不愿做“白雪公主”世界里的一個白雪公主,而隨波逐流。我寧可作為一個真實(shí)的自我而出現(xiàn)。我愿將自己獨(dú)特的、與眾不同的色彩奉獻(xiàn)給多姿多彩的世界?!白咦约旱穆?,讓別人去說吧!” Enjoy Yourself While Fulfilling Responsibility By Wang Yu王羽四川師范大學(xué))(2001年11月8日,在西安舉行的第七屆 ”21世紀(jì)?愛立信杯”英語演講比賽西北地區(qū)比賽中獲得第一名)專家點(diǎn)評:本文主題突出,以小見大,寓意深刻,語言樸實(shí)自然,表達(dá)的情感強(qiáng)烈,是一篇演講佳作。
In my 18 years of life, there have been many things.University days are the best part of them.I can never forget the days when I stepped into my university.I was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere.I at once fell in love with it.After the arduous military training, I get absolutely absorbed in my studies.The classes given by the teachers are excellent.They provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well.They easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as I can.Frankly speaking, at first I had some difficulty following the teachers.However, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers' guidance, I made remarkable progress.Now I've benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports.Learning is a long process;I'll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself.This summer I got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world.A publishing house offered me a part-time job in compilation and revision.At the beginning I was belittled by my colleagues.But they were really surprised when I translated seven English articles over 5,000 words on only one day.Gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes.In their opinion I turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.I also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy.So I often take part in activities concerning public welfare.I once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates.We taught the kids there who could not afford school.While showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, I was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their purity.I couldn't control my tears on the day when we left.The precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.Besides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well.I do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic.We also write a play and put it on in our spare time.Campus life is the most splendid time.But different people have different choices.The majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they'll become outstanding.But there are indeed some students still under ignorance.They gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards.They're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend.They forget completely about their mission as college students and the hope of their motherland.Finally, I do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country.I do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society!譯文:享受生活、牢記使命
在我這18年的生命中,有著許多美好的經(jīng)歷,而大學(xué)生活則是其中最難忘的一段。我永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記剛剛跨進(jìn)大學(xué)校園的那幾天:花園一樣的校園,熱情活躍的學(xué)生,特別是那里的學(xué)習(xí)氣氛,給我留下了深刻的印象。
經(jīng)過了一段艱辛的軍事訓(xùn)練后,我完全融入到了學(xué)習(xí)中。老師的講課真是棒極了。他們傳授給我們的不僅是課本上的知識,還包括其他各種各樣的信息。我渴望獲得盡可能多的知識,是老師激發(fā)起了我這個不能滿足的欲望。
坦率地說,一開始我還不能跟上老師的講課。但是,通過我自己的努力以及老師的指導(dǎo),我取得了巨大的進(jìn)步。我從老師的授課和其他許多學(xué)術(shù)報(bào)告中獲益匪淺。
學(xué)習(xí)是個循序漸進(jìn)、長期的過程,我會在知識的寶庫中不斷探索,豐富自我。今年暑假,我跨出象牙塔,進(jìn)入并接觸到了真正的社會。一個出版社給了我編輯和校對的兼職工作。工作初期,同事們都礁不起我。但是,當(dāng)我在一天之內(nèi)翻譯完7篇(總字?jǐn)?shù)超過5000字)的英語文章后,他們真的是
大吃一驚。漸漸地,他們開始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他們認(rèn)為,我變成了一個有用并值得信賴的好同事。
我也同樣意識到,只有那些為別人帶來幸福的人才能真正的幸福。因而,我經(jīng)常參加有關(guān)公眾福利享業(yè)的活動。有一次,我和同學(xué)去了一個貧痔的山區(qū)村莊。在那里,我們教那些 沒錢上學(xué)的孩子。我向他們展示了一幅寬廣、文明的外部世界的畫面,但同時我也被那些孩子學(xué)習(xí)的渴望、他們的真誠和純潔深深打動了。在我們離開的那一天,我那不爭氣的眼淚禁不住流了下來。這次珍貴的經(jīng)歷讓我們這些未來的教師意識到了自己肩上的責(zé)任重大。除了學(xué)習(xí)和社會實(shí)踐,我還經(jīng)常參加娛樂活動。我每天都鍛煉身體,希望保持健康和充滿活力。我們還在業(yè)余時間寫劇本并排練演出。
園生活是最豐富多彩的。但是,不同的人有著不同的選擇。大多數(shù)的學(xué)生珍惜他們的美好時光,并殷切希望將來能出類拔萃??墒?,的確有學(xué)生無動于衷。他們聚在一起吃喝玩樂;他們忙于追求異性朋友;他們完全忘記了自己作為大學(xué)生的使命和祖國對他們的厚望。最后,我希望每個人都能盡最大努力成為國家的有用人才。我也希望每個人都能成為我們民族的脊梁,為社會做出巨大的貢獻(xiàn)!Nature Is Our Mother By Tan Ying(譚英湖南大學(xué))專家點(diǎn)評:文章開頭較有新意,全文貫穿環(huán)保意識,主題鮮明、有強(qiáng)烈的時代感。
Let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today.“Mum, I'm sorry, but I need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year.”
“Mum, it is my friend's birthday tomorrow, I must buy her a present.”
“Mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? ” Take.Take.Take.The relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern.I know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything I need;from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money.I never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, “Will there be a time that you'll say you have taken enough from me? ”
Like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature.We enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation.We take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources.We appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes.Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth.As we tragically learned from last summer's floods.we cannot continue our carelessness.Finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of our posterity.Nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come.How severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? How much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? Let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on.Let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment.With this new start, I firmly believe, that our children, and our children's children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!自然是我們的母親
請?jiān)试S我用一個我們今天在座的大部分人,就算不是全部,都很熟悉的場景來展開我的演講。
“媽媽,不好意思,今年的學(xué)費(fèi)要三千元?!? “媽媽,明天是我朋友的生日,我要給她買份禮物?!?“媽媽,這件衣服早過時了,幫我買件新的,好嗎?”
索取,索取,再索取。母親和孩子的關(guān)系似乎永遠(yuǎn)都是這一種形式。我知道母親總是我的靠山,給我一切需要的東西,從食物到衣服,從學(xué)費(fèi)到零用錢。我覺得她所做的一切都是理所當(dāng)然的,直到有一天,她說:“會不會有這么一天你對我說我已經(jīng)索取夠了?’’
就像孩子無止境的要求一樣,我們?nèi)祟悾瑥墓诺浇?,也一直在向自然索求以滿足欲望。我們享受家具的美麗與舒適,但我們從來就不愿去想一想由于采伐樹林而引起的嚴(yán)重的土壤侵蝕問題。我們認(rèn)為冬天要取暖是理所當(dāng)然的事情,卻未曾意識到寶貴的自然資源就這樣被燒掉。我們高興地看到現(xiàn)代工業(yè)發(fā)展帶來了繁榮,但很少人會對由于工業(yè)廢物導(dǎo)致的全球空氣和水質(zhì)污染問題稍加考慮。我們無情的剝削已經(jīng)永遠(yuǎn)地傷害了地球母親。我們從去年夏天的洪災(zāi)悲劇中已經(jīng)認(rèn)識到,我們不能再繼續(xù)漠不關(guān)心下去了。最后,站在21世紀(jì)的門檻上,我們不禁展望著繁榮昌盛。自然不僅是現(xiàn)在這一代人的母親,更是未來一代人的母親。如果我們留給他們的是一位貧瘩、毫無生氣的母親,那么我們會受到子孫們何等嚴(yán)厲的批評?如果我們留給他們的遺產(chǎn)是一個和諧的世界,他們會對我們作出何等的稱贊?讓我們從現(xiàn)在開始尊重、關(guān)愛自然。讓我們立刻開展一場建立人類與自然互惠互利關(guān)系的運(yùn)動。我堅(jiān)信,有了這個新的開始,我們的孩子、孩子的孩子必將生活在一個綠樹青蔥、空氣清新、水碧天藍(lán)的嶄新世紀(jì),一個前景更加燦爛的世界!We Are a Normal Member of the Big Family of Nature By Wang Yonghui(主永暉北京對外經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易大學(xué))專家點(diǎn)評:演講者圍繞環(huán)境污染的嚴(yán)重性作了一次次的說明。文章的結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),也很有層次感。
Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.Today,we are gathering here to discuss a very hot issue.how to find harmony in a new age between man and nature? Where modern science and technology are concerned I am only a layman I have to say.However, living in this “new age” , seeing my dear ones suffering from respiratory diseases from time to time, finding the beautiful colors of green and blue are being replaced by that of gray and pale, and realizing that our mother planet is getting more and more unhealthy;I can't help trying to offer my idea and my trivial efforts to look for the answer of the question.As the ancient Greek oracle goes: know thyself.I think in answering this above-mentioned question, this precondition is also very important.Who are we? This is a question, which should be answered not only by those specialists, but also by every one of human beings.Some people may proudly say: we are the masters of nature.It is true that the idea of “man can conquer nature” has dominated people's mind for years, and it is true, man has kept acting like a master and doing whatever things he wants for thousands of years.However, as the consequence of this kind of “l(fā)eadership” , now the “master” seems to be confronted with problems that are far beyond his control.Facts are really very ample.The green house effect leaves islands and cities along the coast, such as this oriental pearl-Shanghai, in danger of the disaster of being drowned;the holes of the ozone layer make the earth less suitable to live for some creatures including human beings;the phenomena of EL Nino and La Nina leave the land with serious flood and drought, and the diseases, caused by pollution, are increasing at an incredible speed...Seeing all these facts, can we still ignore the counterattack of nature? We are not the masters of nature.Facing all the disasters made by ourselves, we, mankind as a whole should realize that we are just a normal member of the big family of nature.Any mistreatment towards nature will meet only with the revenge from her.By saying so, I do not mean we should give a sudden stop to any development.Because that will result in a threat to the existence of human society.I mean we should treat nature equally, leaving the chance of existence and development to nature as we are obtaining the same thing, and thus we will get the situation of win-win.I am very pleased to find that now more and more people, from every corner of the planet, have come to realize that harmony with nature is the only way to universal and continuous progress and prosperity.And I think that is why we come here from all over the country to discuss this topic today.I want to end my speech by quoting from Mr.Nixon.“Our destiny offers, not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.” The future is not ours to see of course.However, by seizing firmly the opportunities, by knowing clearly about ourselves, we, human beings, can doubtlessly achieve the real harmony with nature!Thank you.譯文:我們只是自然大家庭中普通的一員
尊敬的評委,女士們、先生們。今天我們聚在一起討論一個熱門的話題:如何在新時代找到人與自然的和諧?談到科學(xué)技術(shù),我必須承認(rèn),我是個門外漢。但是,生活在這個“新時代”,看著自己親愛的人時刻遭受呼吸疾病的折磨,看著美麗的藍(lán)色和綠色被灰色和蒼白所代替,意識到我們的地球母親正越來越不健康,我忍不住要提出自己的主張,奉獻(xiàn)微薄的力量,去尋找這一問題的答案。
古希臘有這樣一個神諭:了解自己。我想在回答上述的問題時,這一先決條件是很重要的。我們是誰?這是一個間題,不僅應(yīng)由專家來回答,而且應(yīng)該由每一個人來回答。也許有人會自豪地說:我們是自然的主人。許多年來,“人定勝天”這一觀念已在許多人心中根深蒂固,這是事實(shí)。長期以來,人類以主人的姿態(tài)隨心所欲、為所欲為,這也是事實(shí)。不過,這種“主導(dǎo)”的后果是,今天所謂的“主人”面臨著自己無法控制的問題。證據(jù)是充足的。溫室效應(yīng)使島嶼和沿海城市,比如上海這顆東方明珠等,處于被海水侵吞的災(zāi)難危機(jī)之中;臭氧層的空洞使得地球不再適宜于居住,對其他動物如此,對人類也一樣;厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象和拉尼那現(xiàn)象使地球早澇成災(zāi);污染所導(dǎo)致的疾病正以驚人的速度傳播著??看到這些現(xiàn)象,我們還能無視這自然的反擊嗎?我們不是自然的主人。面對著自己造成的災(zāi)難,我們,整個人類,應(yīng)該意識到我們只是自然大家族中普通的一員。任何對自然的虐待只能遭到來自自然的報(bào)復(fù)。
我這樣說,并不是指我們應(yīng)該馬上停止發(fā)展。因?yàn)檫@會導(dǎo)致對人類社會生存的威脅。我指的是我們應(yīng)該平等地對待自然,給自然以生存和發(fā)展的機(jī)會,就像我們自身所尋求的一樣。只有這樣,我們才會有一個皆大歡喜的境況。
我很高興地發(fā)現(xiàn)來自地球各個地方的越來越多的人,正逐步意識到與自然的和諧是不斷繁榮進(jìn)步的出路。這就是今天我們從全國吝地匯集在此討論這一話題的原因。我想引用尼克松先生的話來結(jié)束我的發(fā)言“我們的命運(yùn)給予的不是失望之杯,:是機(jī)遇之博。”當(dāng)然,未來不是我們能夠預(yù)測的。不過,緊緊抓住機(jī)遇,清楚地了解自己,我們?nèi)祟?,就一定能達(dá)成與自然的和楷,謝謝。My Definition of Success By BaoJinlong(鮑金龍)專家點(diǎn)評:演講開頭點(diǎn)題,直截了當(dāng),緊扣主題,語言較簡潔,運(yùn)用修辭得體。
It is easy to describe success in terms of money, fame and reputation.But I believe that success is not external.I believe that success comes from within.My definition of success is to be true to yourself, and be true to others.That means, that you must cherish your personal ideal even in the face of adversity.I also believe that success is not discriminatory.Success is not restricted to such a class of people, in fact, it may be achieved by any person irrespective of his race, creed, gender and economic background.A good example of success is that of Beethoven.He is one of the world's most famous composers, yet he was deaf.He could not hear the majestic pieces of music that he created.Yet, in the face of this adversity, he was able to maintain his ideals--that of composing music.To exemplify what success means to me, I pose a question to all of you.What brings us together here today? I believe that it is the beauty of the spoken word.The effect of pause and the sound of rhetoric are unique to the spoken word.I believe the beauty of the spoken word is even stronger for those who have difficulty in expressing themselves.These people are reclusive and had their emotions hidden within them.I once went to Australia and I saw two pictures, Once was drawn by a normal child, the other was drawn by a child with social inhibitions.The picture drawn by the normal child was simple and plain.The other was life-like, full of details and imagination.What this shows is that these are ideas, emotions and feelings that are locked internally in these children.My ideal is to be the key, spreading the beauty of the spoken words to these children.These children have been neglected, but I feel that I can and should help these children to find themselves and be able to express themselves.I realize that this is a difficult task, and there are many obstacles on the way.But I believe in my ideals and I will stick to them--even in the face of adversity.We should never have a premature abortion of ideals--let the child, let our ideals, stand the challenge.For a life without ideals is not living.Thank you!譯文:成功之我見
用金錢、名譽(yù)和聲望來描述成功,這很簡單。但我相信成功不是外在的,我相信成功來源于自身。我對成功的定義是對已誠實(shí),待人真誠。這就意味著即使面臨困境厄運(yùn),你都必須堅(jiān)守自己的理想。我同樣相信成功沒有偏見,成功不屬于某一類人,事實(shí)上,不論種族、宗教信仰、性別和經(jīng)濟(jì)背景,任何人都能夠獲得。貝多芬的成功就是個很好的例子。他是世界上最著名的作曲家之一,而他卻雙耳失聰。他無法聽到自己創(chuàng)作出的美妙樂章。然而,身
處如此逆境,他仍然能夠堅(jiān)持自己的理想——作曲。
為了舉例說明我對成功的理解,我想給在座的諸位提一個問題。是什么讓我們大家今天在此相會?我想是語言世界的美麗讓我們走到了一起。停頓的效果和修辭之聲是話語世界所獨(dú)一無二的。我相信那些說話表達(dá)困難的人們對話語世界中的美麗體會得更為深刻。這些人都隱遁世間,把自己的感情深藏于心。我曾經(jīng)去過澳大利亞,在那里看到了兩幅畫。一幅是正常兒童畫的,另一幅是一個社會生活受限制的孩子畫的。正常的孩子畫的畫簡單、樸素,而另一幅卻貼近現(xiàn)實(shí)生活,充滿了細(xì)節(jié)和想象。這表明這些孩子的思想、情緒和感受都封閉在他們的內(nèi)心深處。
我的理想是成為向這些孩子傳播話語世界美好的鑰匙。這些孩子曾被我們忽視,但我覺得我能夠也應(yīng)該幫助他們發(fā)現(xiàn)和認(rèn)識自己,并且能夠表達(dá)自己的想法。
我知道這是個艱巨的任務(wù),實(shí)現(xiàn)起來會遇到許多困難和障礙。但我篤信自己的理想,并將 堅(jiān)守下去——即使逆境重重。我們千萬不能對一個理想作出不成熟的棄絕決定——讓這些孩子,讓我們的理想經(jīng)受挑戰(zhàn)。因?yàn)?,沒有理想的生活是沒有生氣的。謝謝!My Definition of Success By Chen Heng陳恒上海外國語大學(xué) 獲得第五屆全國英語演講比賽冠軍)專家點(diǎn)評:演講開頭用了一個寓言故事,十分生動,最后點(diǎn)出對成功的看法,達(dá)到了點(diǎn)題的效果。
“Once upon a time,there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose.To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible.One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince...“ Well, you know the rest.The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line ”And they live happily every after.“ Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story.It is highly philosophical and symbolic.By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1)a goal to be set.as represented by the beautiful princess;2)challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks;3)the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through;and 4)the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result.The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa.If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence.The term ”success“, to be sure.will not sit still for easy definition.But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor.To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings.If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared.In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value.The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative.Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person.In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success.That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this.I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties.Now here I am.If I come out first, it will be a great success for me.If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties.For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success.You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties.The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.Thank you.譯文:成功之我見
“很久以前,有個國王,他的女兒貌美如花。老國王向所有來求婚的男士提出了三個任務(wù)作為挑戰(zhàn),而每一項(xiàng)任務(wù)都異常艱巨,幾乎不可能完成。一天,來了一位年輕英俊的王子??”好了,下面的故事你們都知道了。三項(xiàng)任務(wù)在不同的版本中各不相同,但關(guān)鍵部分的情節(jié)都如出一轍:王子成功地過關(guān),得到了公主的芳心。而故事的結(jié)局也都一樣,最后一句都寫道:“從此他們幸福地生活在一起。
為什么我們對如此美妙、如此不切實(shí)際,而我要說,如此缺乏想象力的東西這么樂此不疲呢?這樣的故事又如何能夠經(jīng)歷幾代人的重復(fù)?我想,因?yàn)樗堑湫偷某晒Φ睦?。故事的思想性很?qiáng),具有代表性。通過故事帶給我們的啟示,我們認(rèn)識到了成功定義中的四個步驟;第一,目標(biāo)的設(shè)定,有如故事里美麗的公主;第二,所遇到的困難和挑戰(zhàn),就像三大任務(wù);第三,克服困難的過程,故事中青年經(jīng)歷重重難關(guān)可以作為象征;第四,就是成功的果實(shí),如同幸福的婚姻。
這個故事不僅迎合了人們內(nèi)心深處對成功的向往,也強(qiáng)調(diào)了過程和結(jié)果的不可分離。如果通往成功的道路崎嶇曲折,那么成功的回報(bào)必然碩果累累,反之亦然。如果一個人繼承了父輩的百萬家產(chǎn)而生活得輕松富足,那么,即使在物質(zhì)上,他也不能算是個成功人士,因?yàn)?,他的?cái)富并沒有經(jīng)過艱難困苦而獲得。確切地說,“成功”這個詞,不是個靜態(tài)簡單的定義。在我的理解中,真正意義上的成功是奮斗的過程和經(jīng)歷了奮斗之后贏得的滿意的結(jié)果。請讓我另舉一例來闡明我的見解。如果我們試著改變足球的比賽規(guī)則,將球門放得很大,換下大衛(wèi)?希曼或其他任何的守門員,這樣,隨便哪個“大衛(wèi)”,比如說,“大衛(wèi)?貝克漢姆”,就可以輕松進(jìn)球,然而這樣進(jìn)一球卻不能給他帶來成功的震顫與喜悅。如果我們再改一改比賽規(guī)則,不讓阿森納隊(duì)的防守來守門,那么,貝克漢姆只要動動手,其實(shí)就是抬抬腳就能進(jìn)一球,那樣的話、,實(shí)際上也沒有什么比賽可言了,因?yàn)橼A球的意義已經(jīng)不存在了。在接受挑戰(zhàn)、克服困難和經(jīng)歷磨難的過程中,“成功”的價(jià)值才得以豐滿。取得成果的意義和所克服的艱難的程度成正比。所謂成功的概念不是一成不變的.而曇相對而言的,因?yàn)槔щy的性質(zhì)也是相對意義上的。
正常人不費(fèi)力氣做成的事對于一個殘疾人來說也許相當(dāng)困難。獲得了同正常人一樣的能力,這個殘疾人就獲得了成功。這便是我們?yōu)槭裁闯缇词返俜?霍金的原因—雖然行動不便,受到了輪椅的限制,他依然為科學(xué)界作出了巨大的貢獻(xiàn)。
就我自己而言,生性羞澀,容易怯場,不得不鼓起非常大的勇氣來參加此次的演講比賽。我完全可以待在一邊,不參加大學(xué)級別的比賽,而落得輕松自在??墒?,我還是選擇了接受這一挑戰(zhàn)來面對困難?,F(xiàn)在我來了,如果我能夠得第一的話.這對我來說就是巨大的成功。如果,我是最后一名—我希望情況不是這樣—但如果我真的是最后一名,我也不會認(rèn)為這次的嘗試是一次失敗,反而我要把它當(dāng)作一次真正的成功來慶賀,因?yàn)槲乙徊糠值哪繕?biāo)是對自己性格的鍛煉—更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)、勇敢地面對困難。對我來說,這標(biāo)志著我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前邁進(jìn)了一步,盡管是很小的一步,但是我確實(shí)通過參與真正地獲得了收益。
回到我們年輕英俊的王子和對“成功”的四步驟定義上吧,您也許已經(jīng)注意到了財(cái)富、地位和名譽(yù)等這些世俗的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)在故事中并未提及,相反故事強(qiáng)調(diào)了克服重重困難的過程。古代的智慧已經(jīng)對成功的意義下了定義,這也是我的定義。謝謝!If There Were No After Life 作者:北外英語基地校長宋遠(yuǎn)利
翻譯:北京外國語大學(xué)北戴河外語培訓(xùn)基地副校長張寶丹
Whether there’s afterlife, the answer has never been the same.The atheists deny after life, believing that our life is no more than from the cradle to the grave.They may care about their illustrious names after death;they may feel attached to the affection of their offspring, but they never lay their hopes on their afterlife.They may also say that good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil, but they don’t really believe any retribution in their after life.However, in the religious world or among the superstitious people, the belief in afterlife is very popular.They do not only believe in afterlife, but thousands of reincarnations as well.In the mysterious world, there are the paradise and the hell, the celestial beings and the gods, the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas.Maybe they really believed it, or maybe they just wanted to make use of people’s veneration, the ancient emperors always declared that they were the real dragons, the sons of God, while the royal ministers claimed to be the reincarnations of various constellations.But can the stars reincarnate?
Many people burn incense and kowtow, do good deeds and strive for virtues, not just for the present, but mainly to let God see their sincerity so as to be reborn into a better afterlife, or to achieve the highest enlightenment after several lives of practice.They do believe in afterlife.But I can’t help asking: Suppose there were no afterlife, would you still do good deeds and strive for virtues? And If God does not see what you are doing, would you still be so upright and selfless? If you work, not for serving the public and liberating the others, but just for a better afterlife of your own, isn’t it a little too selfish? Comparing with this kind of believers, those who don’t believe in afterlife, but still keep doing good deeds, are the most sincere and honest philanthropists, because they do them not for themselves but for other.You may wonder if I believe in afterlife.My answer is: I know nothing about my previous life, so I dare not make improper comments on afterlife.But I do hope there’s afterlife!Because our present life is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding.I have so many dreams, so many wishes, so many ambitions, as well as so many regrets and concerns.If there were no afterlife, all of them will remain unrealized!I’m not contented with the present commonplace life, I’m very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time, and I yearn for the perfection and maturity if I could start all over again.So believe it or not, I’d rather there were afterlife.Translated by Zhang Baodan(Diana)May 1, 2004 假如沒有來世
有沒有來世,眾說紛紜。無神論者,不相信來世。他們認(rèn)為從生到死,僅此而已。他們可能在意身后的英名,他們可能留戀后代的親情,但他們不寄希望于來世。他們也會說善有善報(bào),惡有惡報(bào),但并不相信下輩子報(bào)應(yīng)什么。
在宗教領(lǐng)域、或在一些迷信的人群,來世之說比較盛行。不僅是來世,甚至?xí)J(rèn)為有千百次的輪回。在那未知而飄渺的世界,有天堂,有地獄,有神族,有仙界,有菩薩、有佛祖。也許真的相信、也許是為了利用人們的敬畏心里,古代的帝王們總是宣稱自己是真龍?zhí)熳?,大臣們則標(biāo)榜為天上的什么文曲星、武曲星或太白金星轉(zhuǎn)世。星星能轉(zhuǎn)世嗎?
許多人燒香、磕頭,行善、修德,并不都是為了眼前,而是為了讓上天看見自己的真誠,以便下輩子有個好的托生,或者幾世之后能修成正果。這些人自然是相信來世的。但我不禁要問:如果沒有來世,你們會不會一樣行善、修德呢?如果神靈看不見,你們是否也會公正無私呢?如果不是為了解脫他人和服務(wù)大眾才去修行,如果僅僅是為了自己將來托生好才去行善,是否有些自私呢?比較起來,那些不相信來世而又堅(jiān)持行善的人,則應(yīng)該是最真、最誠的大善。因?yàn)樗麄儾皇菫樽陨?,而是為公理?/p>
也許有人會問作者,你相信來世嗎?我的回答是:我不知道前生,因而也不敢妄談后世。但我真的希望能有來世!因?yàn)檫@輩子時間太短,許多事情都是在還沒弄明白的時候,就已經(jīng)匆匆過去了。我有那么多的理想,我有那么多的心愿,我有那么多的奢望,我有那么多的遺憾,我有那么多的牽掛,我有那么多的雄心壯志,如果沒有來世,那就一切皆空了。我不甘心眼前的碌碌無為,我留戀被歲月沖走的本應(yīng)屬于我的親情,更向往從頭再來的完美和成熟。為此,信也好,不信也好,我寧愿有來世。Tips for Making an Effective Speech
1、You must speak up and project your voice even if you are using a microphone.2、Your voice should be resonant and sustained when you speak.3、Pitch your voice slightly lower than normal.Listeners tend to associate credibility and authority with a relatively deep voice.4、Try to end declarative sentences on a low tone without, however, trailing off in volume.5、Slow down.1、即使是用麥克風(fēng),也要聲音響亮并運(yùn)氣發(fā)聲。
2、聲音要有回聲并能稍持續(xù)一陣兒。
3、音調(diào)要定得比正常講話時低一些,聽眾往往把可信度和權(quán)威性與一個相對低沉的聲音聯(lián)系在一起。
4、盡量用降調(diào)結(jié)束陳述句,但不要減弱音量。
5、放慢語速。段津簡介:
段津先生1953年畢業(yè)于北京外國語學(xué)院,被派往朝鮮開城中國人民志愿軍停戰(zhàn)談判代表團(tuán)任翻譯,屬于新中國第一代英語翻譯。曾為陳毅、鄧小平、李先念、郭沫若等老一代國家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人會見外賓時當(dāng)翻譯,先后擔(dān)任中國駐加拿大大使館新聞參贊、中國駐溫哥華總領(lǐng)事、外交部新聞司副司長兼外交部發(fā)言人、中國駐澳大利亞悉尼總領(lǐng)事、中國人民外交學(xué)會副會長。
在長年的外交工作中,段津先生積累了豐富的英語口譯、筆譯經(jīng)驗(yàn),擅長用英語演講,著有《如何用英語作精彩演講》一書(世界知識出版社出版)。段津?qū)τ⒄Z演講的總體認(rèn)識: 演講藝術(shù):中西方差距明顯
我們的社會政治情況與國外不太一樣。美國人從小學(xué)開始就要競選這個、競選那個,比如俱樂部經(jīng)理、學(xué)生會主席,跟政治競選差不多,所以他們的講演發(fā)達(dá),在講演培訓(xùn)方面也開展得比較好。在西方國家,特別是英語國家更加重視演講。中國在這方面滯后了一點(diǎn)兒,但是現(xiàn)在講演的風(fēng)氣開始興盛,這很是令人喜悅。隨著我們對外經(jīng)貿(mào)、外交關(guān)系的拓展,學(xué)英語講英語的形勢更加喜人。我去年跟一批中學(xué)生專門進(jìn)行英語講演講座,他們懷著很大的興趣聽我講。對外經(jīng)貿(mào)大學(xué)也曾經(jīng)請我去講過怎么樣對外國人進(jìn)行溝通。最近華北地區(qū)的大學(xué)生講演比賽,我去當(dāng)了裁判。英文演講和中文演講相比有哪些區(qū)別?
段津:實(shí)際上一樣,關(guān)鍵在于了解演講對象,減少冗余信息。
中文演講和英文演講實(shí)際上是一樣的,關(guān)鍵是看你演講的對象。不管是用中文還是用英文演講,首先你要對自己的聽眾要有一個很好的了解。在國外講演,講演超過半個小時,你就要考慮這個時間是不是快到了,絕不要超過50分鐘。而且應(yīng)該留出一半以上的時間讓聽眾來提問題。在中國情況就有所不同,因?yàn)檫^去的習(xí)慣,有的時候往往邀請方要求我講三個小時。實(shí)際上現(xiàn)在中國人也愿意聽短話,特別是沒有什么信息量的套話說法,我們的演講如何運(yùn)用語言魅力打動聽眾?適應(yīng)聽眾思維習(xí)慣?
段津:在講演當(dāng)中,語言文字的運(yùn)用很重要。第一,語言表達(dá)純熟清晰。第二,以對方習(xí)慣的方式、喜歡的方式來講。第三,要有內(nèi)容。當(dāng)聽眾通過贊揚(yáng)英文的辦法來贊揚(yáng)你時,例如觀眾對你說Articulate,這是表示你講得非常清晰,你聽到這樣的評語之后,實(shí)際上就說明你的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)打動了人。
根據(jù)我的經(jīng)驗(yàn),適應(yīng)聽眾思維習(xí)慣,在講演一定要注意觀眾的反映。我的講話就是半個小時,必要的時候縮短20分鐘。我看大家睜著眼睛很安安靜靜的在聽,我就多講幾句。講話不要長,講20分鐘就可以打住了,然后讓人家提問題,這個10分鐘是有效的10分鐘,你可以根據(jù)他們提的問題,不完全是切中這個問題放大放開講。
有了一份好的演講稿之后,在發(fā)表演講過程中,有人認(rèn)為這是在裝模作樣,您怎么看待這個問題?
段津:我自己感覺到,演講絕不是什么拿姿做態(tài),裝模作樣。作為外交官代表國家講話,這個國家已經(jīng)個性化在你的身上。我覺得不要去演戲。過去講修辭,講動作,講聲調(diào),后來從美國開始,慢慢就變成一種談話式的講話。我們在國外演講也是。
我到悉尼去擔(dān)任總領(lǐng)事,上任第一個活動正好碰到圣誕節(jié),新南威爾士大學(xué)組織一次歡迎會,大家都很隨便,都站在那兒。我先在站在他們的面前,我是一個陌生人,對他們來講,我不代表個人,我不是段津,我是中國,是一個機(jī)構(gòu)。但為了制造一種親切感,我就要把機(jī)構(gòu)化成個人,從個人講起。所以我一開始就講:“幾天以前,我和我的夫人告別了北京的四室一廳的寓所,跟我上海80多歲的老父親通了電話,跟躺在病床上的哥哥也通了電話,來到了溫暖如春的悉尼,沐浴在夏天的陽光底下,跟大家一塊過圣誕,這是一個很大的變化,但是我非常高興、非常興奮?!睅追昼姷难葜v,讓人家對新上任的總領(lǐng)事有一個了解。中國慢慢變成你個人,這個個人是很親切自然的,沒有什么價(jià)值的,隨便聊天。但是最后我還是談了國際形勢,還談了國內(nèi)形勢,對海外學(xué)子的希望。
您的外語怎么樣學(xué)的?怎么樣才能將自己的所學(xué)準(zhǔn)確生動的表達(dá),運(yùn)用到演講里去? 段津:學(xué)習(xí)也沒有什么捷徑可走。
1,慢慢積累,不要放棄?;A(chǔ)一定要打好,特別是語法的基礎(chǔ)。我在學(xué)校學(xué)的時間不長,但是基礎(chǔ)非常穩(wěn)固。光介詞的練習(xí)就不知道做了幾百幾千,冠詞的練習(xí),什么時候用THE,什么時候不用,這些基礎(chǔ)都非常牢固;
2,多看、多讀、多模仿。英語開始就是模仿,注意外國人的表達(dá)方法。我當(dāng)時在外交學(xué)會上班時有機(jī)會接觸美國、澳大利亞、加拿大、新西蘭廣大地區(qū)的各階層人士。另一方面我非常注意閱讀。當(dāng)時美國的四本周刊我都看,《新聞周刊》、《時代》等等,而且是越看不明白的東西越看;
3,要記錄。寫有用的短語、詞句,要把它記下來,而且要注意比較外國人和中國不同的表達(dá)法。舉個例子,中國人講話的時候,謝謝大家對我的熱烈歡迎,很平實(shí)的。英語國家的人講這么一句話,“Thank you for the warm hospitality that makes me feel so welcome?!币馑季褪恰爸x謝你們的好客,這個好客使我感覺到自己如此受歡迎”。假如你沒有看過英文、聽過英文,你絕對不能想到這么表達(dá)。所以你就要學(xué),就要聽。我們不能說我學(xué)的時候?qū)W了,自己講得時候還照中文講,不能這樣,要用英文來思維,越是覺得有點(diǎn)怪怪的,越是要學(xué)的。時間久而久之,你就不會講中式英文。
在被邀請演講但又不很清楚對方的具體要求時如何進(jìn)行?內(nèi)容上什么樣的安排會收到好的效果?
段津:這種情況我會首先要進(jìn)行調(diào)查研究。是誰邀請的,邀請我去跟誰講,再根據(jù)聽眾的特點(diǎn),自己做一個估計(jì)。
比如說我在澳大利亞時,收到一個請?zhí)?,就是澳大利亞悉尼大學(xué)。他們學(xué)生畢業(yè)典禮一千多人,讓我作為唯一的外國嘉賓講話。我的聽眾都是大學(xué)生、大學(xué)教授,18歲到20多歲。然后我再打電話給他們學(xué)校的組織講演的校方詢問他們希望我講些什么東西,他給我的答復(fù)是隨便,但是時間控制在10分鐘。這樣的話,我就有了幾個信息:一個是他為什么不請美國人,請中國人,說明他對中國感興趣。所以我根本上可以確定,我要講講中國的事情。中國情況;另一個是年輕學(xué)生加教授;再一個就是時間要短一點(diǎn)兒。這個場合是一個畢業(yè)典禮,根據(jù)這四個特點(diǎn),我就準(zhǔn)備出了一個講稿。
具體進(jìn)行的過程大概是這樣的。我記得有一個英國作家講過,你可以試一下談別人,比如說你跟人家談話時,你講他的事情,他聽兩個小時都不膩,所以既要講自己,也要講別人。根據(jù)這樣一個原則,我就在這個講稿里頭采取一種對比的辦法。
我一上來就是澳大利亞和中國差別很大,共同點(diǎn)也很多,夏天我們都出汗,冬天我們都會凍得發(fā)抖,你吃飯用刀叉,我吃飯用筷子。比如說我們中國看問題是大中小,寫地址是先寫國名,再寫省,再寫城市,再寫街道,再寫門牌號,然后再寫姓,然后寫名。外國人先寫名,再寫姓,你的門牌號碼、樓的號碼、馬路、城市、省份,最后是國家。整個是大顛倒。你們是由我及人,我們是由遠(yuǎn)及近。通過這些文化的對比,政治制度的對比。比如你們是議會民主,我們是半殖民地半封建的基礎(chǔ)上建立起來的人民民主的國家,這個場合就避免人民民主專政,因?yàn)閹拙湓捴v不清楚。從文化、政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)對比。再就是物產(chǎn),中國有多少動物、多少植物。一下子跳躍性的,一對比,共同點(diǎn)我們都希望和平,都希望過好日子。我們兩國關(guān)系好了,對我們兩國人民有什么好處。
最后,畢竟是青年學(xué)生,我引用了毛主席的一首詩,毛主席在50年代莫斯科對中國留學(xué)生講的一段話,世界上是你們的,也是我們的,但歸根結(jié)底是你們的,你們年輕人朝氣蓬勃,正在興旺時期,希望寄托在你們身上。這個話一講,達(dá)到高潮,他們喜歡聽。用偉大導(dǎo)師的話來打動他們。我是稿子念下來。關(guān)鍵是內(nèi)容,內(nèi)容好的話,語音語調(diào)也好,這樣下來以后,那些小家伙戴著博士帽,拉著我一塊照相,氣氛非常熱烈。演講是一門藝術(shù),好的英文演講比賽究竟用什么樣的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來評判? 段津:我先講講外國的經(jīng)驗(yàn),1996年我在澳大利亞悉尼一家圖書館的新書陳列架上看到了《成功的秘訣》一書,書中有一節(jié)談到了演說的12項(xiàng)注意,我隨手抄錄了下來。這演講要素12項(xiàng)是Presenting Skills(演說技巧)1.Know your topic(知道你要講什么題目)2.Know your audience(了解你的聽眾)
3.Know your start and stop times,as well as who else is on(知道你開始和停止的時間以及除你之外還有誰要講話)
4.Know what you want people to do differently and tell them(對你所說的和人們所做的有什么不同,心中要有數(shù),并讓聽眾知道)5.Make major points.(寫下你的講話要點(diǎn))
6.Check all your equipment,sound,lighting and seating arrangements.(檢查你的器材、音響、燈光和座位)
7.Ask someone you trust and respect to constructively critique you.(請一個你所信任和尊敬的人對你的講稿提出建設(shè)性的批評和意見)8.Relax before you go on.(演講前要放松)
9.Practise,practise,practise.(練習(xí)、練習(xí),再練習(xí))
10.Remember that even if you miss a bit or forget a couple of lines,nobody knows except you.(記住即或你漏掉一點(diǎn)或忘掉幾行,除了你自己,別人是不會發(fā)現(xiàn)的)
11.Omit telling jokes unless you are already a good joke-teller or plan to get better.(收起你想講的笑話,除非你已經(jīng)擅長講笑話或者計(jì)劃在這方面有所提高)12.Have fun(要有趣味)
上述12項(xiàng)提示是國外人士從大量實(shí)踐中總結(jié)出來的有用經(jīng)驗(yàn),可供我們借鑒。根據(jù)我自己的實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn),我想著重提出5點(diǎn): 1.明確通過演講要傳遞什么信息; 2.了解聽眾的特點(diǎn)和要求; 3.準(zhǔn)備講稿或講話要點(diǎn);
4.語言要求清晰、簡練、優(yōu)美、生動、形象、有頻率和感召力; 5.臨場陳述要舉止穩(wěn)重大方,語言語調(diào)準(zhǔn)確
中國人用英語演講時,應(yīng)該注意哪些表達(dá)不會讓對方誤解?哪些是中西方都能夠理解的? 段津:我們講話,不管是對哪個國家的人士不要指手劃腳。當(dāng)我們談自己的情況,不要談的太滿,應(yīng)該留有余地,既談成績,也談困難。另外,對人家的事情不要指指點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。還有一件事情要注意,作為一個使節(jié),不要評論第三國的事情,最安全的就是我談我自己的情況,我的體會,我的經(jīng)驗(yàn),然后是我們的共同點(diǎn)。
中國加入WTO,北京獲得2008年奧運(yùn)會舉辦權(quán),越來越多的中國人意識到英語的重要,他們需要通過英語表達(dá)自己,在北京更是掀起了學(xué)習(xí)英語的熱潮,英語培訓(xùn)班也隨之鋪天蓋地。您對培訓(xùn)班的培訓(xùn)有什么見解?您對廣大愛學(xué)生的網(wǎng)友們,尤其是愛學(xué)英語的網(wǎng)友們,有什么建議?
段津:首先我覺得現(xiàn)在掀起一個全民學(xué)英語的高潮是一個好事情?,F(xiàn)在學(xué)英語的途徑非常多,但有一種做法我不同意,那就是把英文的發(fā)音按照中文字寫出來。比如書,BOOK,他用中文寫成“布克”。日本人在這方面吃了虧,他就用日文拼英文,結(jié)果發(fā)音就不太好。至于訓(xùn)練班,要真正的訓(xùn)練。現(xiàn)在國內(nèi)有些學(xué)習(xí)班,你教了錢,你上課不上課都給你發(fā)一個證書,這樣是不行的。另外也不能通過幾級考試就一定具備水平。因?yàn)榭荚嚤旧聿荒軌蛘嬲?、百分之百的反映一個人對某一門學(xué)問掌握的程度。學(xué)習(xí)歸根結(jié)底,訓(xùn)練班也好,正規(guī)學(xué)校也好,最后是靠自己,靠自己自學(xué)為主?,F(xiàn)在有好多工具書,不懂的就請教字典。

第三屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍——梁勵敏
梁勵敏
北京外國語大學(xué)
梁勵敏,生于浙江杭州,畢業(yè)于北京外國語大學(xué),獲英語語言文學(xué)碩士學(xué)位,研究生期間專攻方向?yàn)槊绹鐣芯俊?002年進(jìn)入中央電視臺英語頻道采訪組工作,所采寫的新聞獲得2003年全國新聞彩虹獎二等獎。
專家點(diǎn)評:引用文學(xué)大師的詩句作為開場白,與結(jié)束語首尾呼應(yīng),頗有感染力。東西方文化的融合表現(xiàn)得十分鮮明,意味深長,是篇優(yōu)秀的演講。Crossing the Sea
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech today is ”Crossing the Sea“.An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in his poem ”We and They“: ”All the people like us are We And everyone else is They We live over the sea While They live over the way We eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives They who gobble their rice off a leaf Are horrified out of their lives.“ 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.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.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.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? 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.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.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.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!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.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.Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.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.To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again: ”All the people like us are We And everyone else is They But once you cross over the sea You will end by looking on We As only a sort of They“ Thank you.譯文:穿越海洋
女士們、先生們,晚上好。今天,我演講的題目是:《穿越海洋》。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:
像我們的人是我們 其余的人是他們 我們生活在海這邊 他們生活在路那邊 我們用牛角柄的刀叉吃豬牛肉 吞吃粽葉包飯的他們嚇得要死。
第一次讀到這首詩,我很震驚——過去兩個民族何以如此疏離、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。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。
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。
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?
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。
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。
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。
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。
女士們,先生們,我們恰逢一個偉大的時代: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,我們正生活在發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵時刻:種族沖突,地區(qū)動蕩正越來越威脅著整個人類的和平與幸福。如何對待這一時代,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。
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,又不失本民族的文化特征。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。
我有一個美好的夢想,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。
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:
像我們的人是我們 其余的人是他們
然而一旦你們穿洋越海 就不會再把我們 看做僅僅是他們。
謝謝。
第三屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國英語演講比賽亞軍——芮成鋼 East and West have met 東西方相聚
runner-up: Rui Cheng gang, Foreign Affair College Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:
Kipling said:” East is east, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!“ But now, a century later, they have met.They have met in business.They have met in education.They have met in the arts.Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West ,but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds.We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use.We can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity? History makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.Some people seem to think that adopting Western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in China, instead of the traditional Chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.They fear that as we become ”globalized“, we will no longer be Chinese.I do not agree.History teachers that a strong and confident nation is at ease in hearing from the outside world.The wedding of Eastern and Western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.It is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.As an amateur gourmet of Chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.But my Chinese taste appreciates food from any land.I even allow the convenience of McDonald's a place in my life without giving up my good taste.My grandfather taught me to hum tunes of Beijing opera from the time I was very young;they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.I love Beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who I am.But I am also a fan of modern pop music, the No.1 fan of Spice Girls on campus.of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance.It goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.Once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a Chinese boy and an American girl had a squabble.Both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.Surely you've seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.Nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural.No wonder they wanted him.The Chinese boy played his er-hu.Happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air.The little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music.He liked what he heard.The girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.The rabbit began to bounce in her direction.So intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.The competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn.Unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit...alone.But, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other's music, instead of always playing their own tunes?
When I hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced...I hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.Is music mine and yours, or is it ours?
What I want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and in tune.Together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with textures and sounds that can only be made in harmony.The rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun.Waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.Will he have to wait forever? The choice is ours.Thank you.尊敬的評委、女士們、先生們:吉卜林說過,“東方是東方,西方是西方,兩者永不聚!”然而如今,在一個世紀(jì)之后,東西方相聚了。
它們在貿(mào)易中相聚,在教育中相聚,在藝術(shù)中相聚。
有人爭論說這種東西方之聚,使得我們能夠在東西方中作出選擇.然而我相信最美好的未來在于東西方世界的創(chuàng)造性的結(jié)合,我們可以變西方的觀念、習(xí)俗、技術(shù)為己所有,為己所用;我們可以享受兩上不同世界之精華,總之,我們的傳統(tǒng)之一就是擇其精華,為己所用。然而,西方的生活方式和價(jià)值會威脅到我們的民族特色嗎? 歷史讓我們輕易相信——也許是太輕易地讓我們相信此說了。
有人似乎認(rèn)為彩西方習(xí)俗,比如新娘結(jié)婚穿白色婚紗,是對外國介入的屈服,是對傳統(tǒng)遺產(chǎn)的背叛,因?yàn)榘粗袊鴤鹘y(tǒng),結(jié)婚新娘要穿紅色,而白色長期以來代表的是哀悼。這些人擔(dān)心一量我們變得全球化,我們也就不在是中國人了。我不這樣認(rèn)為。
歷史告訴我們:一個強(qiáng)大自信的民族學(xué)起外面的世界易如反掌。
無論是穿白衣還是黑衣,還是東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻,都給我們帶來多姿多采的生活。東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻是一席來自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。身為中國菜的業(yè)余美食家,我喜歡民族的佳肴。然而我的中國口味也欣賞異國的風(fēng)味。
生活中我為簡便吃麥當(dāng)勞,卻不會放棄自己的良好口味。
從小祖父就教我哼唱京劇,京劇深入我的精神之中,成為我靈魂的一部分。我熱愛京劇,因?yàn)榫﹦∽屛铱傁肫鹱约菏钦l。
但是我也迷戀現(xiàn)代流行音樂,在學(xué)校里還是“辣味女孩”的頭號歌迷。
當(dāng)然,異質(zhì)文化的交流遠(yuǎn)不止于食物、音樂和舞蹈,它深入到價(jià)值觀和世界觀。有一次老師給我講了一個中國男孩和一個美國女孩發(fā)生爭執(zhí)的故事。在花園里他們倆發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只小兔,兩人都想要。你肯定見過草叢中曬太陽的小兔。
沒什么東西比小兔子更可愛的,更富有自然情趣了,難怪他們兩人都想要它。
男孩拉起了二胡,愉快喜悅的琴聲,充滿了渴望和激情,回蕩在空中,小兔子聽著這音樂輕輕搖擺,耳朵轉(zhuǎn)向音樂,它喜愛男孩的琴聲。女孩也取出小提琴,拉出悠揚(yáng)的旋律。小兔子聽了朝她跑去。
兩人都全神貫注于自己的音樂,絲毫沒注意對方演奏的音樂。交雜在一塊的音樂困惑了小兔子,它不知該朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能將小兔子吸引過來,只好放棄,各自走開了,扔下小兔子獨(dú)自一人。
然而倘若他們傾聽對方的音樂,而不是各自為歌,那么結(jié)果會如何呢?
當(dāng)我聽到小提琴聲響起,男男女女走道一起又唱又跳,樂聲中充滿了歡樂,此時我也聽見了草原上、山谷間、小河旁傳來得我們本民族的音樂的回聲。音樂分你我,還是屬于我們大家?
我想聽的是二胡與小提琴的合奏,旋律與節(jié)奏和諧一致。
大家一起才能創(chuàng)造出新穎動聽音樂,只有在和諧中大家才能創(chuàng)造出富有神韻的樂聲。在溫暖的陽光中,小兔子在等待著我們一起演奏,等待著交響樂開始。他有必要再永遠(yuǎn)的等下去嗎?決擇在于我們自己。謝謝。
Liu Xin: Thank you, contestant number 10.Now you're going to compare street markets and supermarkets.Rui Cheng gang:
Well, thank you very much.Um as a man who suffered from male chauvinism, I used to think that shopping is a privilege of women.I seldom do shopping until I have to.But three years ago, something happened and it changed my view.I remember it was the first day I went to college.After I had put down my luggage, I went out of the school to have a look around.It was a romantic rainy day.And guess what, I found the street market, right beside the school.And I saw lots of middle-aged men and women talking with the sellers of fruit, clothes and soft drinks and it seems to me that they were intimate friends.And then I said to myself, why not have a try.So I walked to the seller of pineapple and talked to him.And then i bought a pineapple and bargain with him and then i will eat the pineapple while wandering around the street market and enjoy the simple things of life.Thank you.Judge: You mentioned in your first speech the importance of variety even though the east and west are converging.But many people think that one of the problems of modern life is the lack of variety.This hotel looks like every other hotel in the world and the whole world is becoming an airport.Hong Kong looks like Singapore and so on.Do you think that we may be in danger of losing the very variety that you think is so important? Rui Cheng gang:
The variety.Of course I do not think so.I don't think we are losing variety.Instead ,we are, I think we are getting more varieties.Well nowadays, as i had mentioned in my speech, we have a combination of eastern and western music, food and lifestyles.Actually I, I think I read an article in Vienna and many western critic and composers feel that a western music which has traditionally emphasized on the harmony between different instruments now is becoming increasingly, it increasingly reflects eastern music style.However, the eastern music style brought them a completely new sense of music.So I don't think we are losing variety.I think we are having more varieties.And also in our daily life, I think we have more choice.It's not actually a choice between the east and west.Actually I think the choice is a combination of the two.And this doesn't necessarily mean we are losing our variety.We are updating what variety is.Thank you.Judge: In your second speech just now about street markets.You said that you enjoyed going to the street markets.It's a peaceful life and eating pineapples.Could you say something more comparing street markets and supermarkets as regards prices and quality and choice of products, things like that.Rui Cheng gang:
Yes.Of course I prefer street market to super market.And actually I think ,nowadays the prices in the supermarket are becoming lower and lower to meet the demands of the people.But somehow I think people, not only Chinese people, but people from all over the world, will enjoy street markets much better.Because even though going to the supermarket will help you to get rid of a lot of the trouble of bargaining ,but somehow you lose the fun of talking with people and communicating with each other, and i think the super market just reflects one of the problems of modern society.I mean the alienation of people and their fellow man.And so I think that street market is secure to these disease or illnesses in modern society.Thank you.劉欣:謝謝十號選手?,F(xiàn)在請你對街市和超級市場做一個比較。芮成鋼:
謝謝你。唔,以前由于深受男權(quán)主義影響,我向來把購物當(dāng)作是女性的特權(quán)。不到萬不得已決不得已決不上街購物。但在三年前發(fā)生的一件事改變了我的觀點(diǎn)。記得那是我進(jìn)大學(xué)的第一天,放置好行李后我走出學(xué)校四處看一看。那是個浪漫的雨天。你猜怎樣?就在學(xué)校附近我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一條街市。
我看到許多中年男女正在與賣水果、服裝、飲料的攤主議價(jià),似乎是很熟的朋友。我對自己說,何不一試呢?
于是我走到一個賣菠蘿的小販前同他說起價(jià)來,最后買下一個菠蘿。忽然間我意識到這十分有意思?;氐綄W(xué)校后我想了一想,總結(jié)出這所以會鐘情于街市的兩點(diǎn)原因。首先,它帶給了我樂趣。其次,我喜歡講價(jià)。實(shí)際上我認(rèn)為講價(jià)是提高口才的極端有效的辦法。沒有這幾年講價(jià)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的積累,我想我也不會有現(xiàn)在的機(jī)會站在這兒用流利的英語向你們做演講。三年過去了,我一周還至少上街一次。我會去賣菠蘿的小販那兒和講價(jià),然后一邊吃菠蘿一邊在街市上慢步,享受生命中一些小樂趣。謝謝!評委:在你的第一個演講中你提到,盡管東、西方文化存在共性,多樣性仍有其重要性。可是許多人覺得現(xiàn)代生活中存在的問題之一就是缺少多樣性。這家飯店看似世界上其他飯店,整個世界成了一個機(jī)場。香港看似新加坡,諸如此類。既然人認(rèn)為多樣性很重要,你是否認(rèn)為我們正瀕臨喪失這種多樣性的危機(jī)的邊緣? 芮成鋼:
說到多樣性,我并不認(rèn)為我們正瀕臨喪失這種多樣性的危機(jī),與此相反,我認(rèn)為我們正取得越來越多的多樣性。正如我剛才說過的,在現(xiàn)代社會中,我們在音樂、飲食和生活方式方面都有東西方的結(jié)合。幾年前,我曾在《中國日報(bào)》上看到一篇文章,說中國音樂在維也納受到熱烈的歡迎。許多西方評論家和作曲家認(rèn)為,西方音樂傳統(tǒng)上將重點(diǎn)放在各種樂器的配合上,現(xiàn)在剛更多地反映東方音樂的風(fēng)格。東方音樂的風(fēng)格給他們帶了全新的意識。
因此,我認(rèn)為我們并沒有喪失多樣性,而是在取得更多的多樣性。在日常生活中,我們也擁有更多的選擇。并不是說是選擇東方還是選擇西方,百是在東西方的結(jié)合中進(jìn)行選擇。這不一定就意味著我們正在喪失多樣性。我們正在不斷地高速這種多樣性。謝謝。芮成鋼: 好。我當(dāng)然是喜歡街甚于超級市場。我認(rèn)為,現(xiàn)在超級市場的物價(jià)為了迎合大眾的需要在逐漸調(diào)低。但我總覺得不僅是中國人,所有的人都會喜歡街市更多一些。因?yàn)楸M管上超市可以省去講價(jià)的麻煩,你多少也損失了和人聊天和交往的樂趣。超市反映了現(xiàn)代生活的眾多問題。在此我指的是人與人之間的疏離。而街市則可避免現(xiàn)代社會的這些毛病。謝謝。

WE AND OUR YELLOW RIVER: THRIVING TOGETHER
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The issue of the Yellow River has become the biggest concern of members of the Chinese peoples Political Consultative Conference.My childhood, in fact, is closely associated with the river.My father is an engineering geologist, and he used to take me with him on his trips to the hydropower stations on the river.I enjoyed those trips, especially the trip to Longyang Xia reservoir.Although ten years have passed since my visit, I can still recall the scenery;I can still recall the water I saw at the reservoir.It was pure, clean and blue, not like the water I saw in the middle reaches of the river, which had turned brown and muddy after passing through the Loess Plateau.Once during our stay at the power station, we were caught in a thunderstorm.And when rain stopped, I could see trickles of water rolling down mountain slopes and flowing into the reservoir.It carried little mud or sand, because at that time, trees and grass still grew around the reservoir.And they protected the soil.At Longyang Xia I was struck by the beauty of nature, and as a child I wanted to stay there and to grow up with our Yellow River.Li Bai, the Tang Dynasty poet, said praises to the flowing water in the Yellow River.He saw it as coming down from heaven and nurturing the people along her way to the sea.However, in 1997,for 330days, not a single drop of water from the Yellow River went into the sea.And droughts are not the only punishment by nature.A friend of my father's, a university professor, is doing research on the Yellow River.According to this professor, the Yellow River will soon change its course if we allow this situation to continue.Because there is no longer enough water to carry away the silt and mud in the lower reaches of the river and the riverbed rises higher and higher each year.We have taken too much from nature, but given back too little in return.And this is the cost of the unbalanced growth.If we had taken care of the vegetation in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, we would still experience the river as Li Bai described it.While the developed countries are consuming proportionally more natural resources than the rest of the world, they've also taken some good measures in protecting nature.And as a developing country, China can learn from them in this aspect.Last year, when I was visiting Australia with a group of Chinese students who had won prizes in an English Skills Test, our Australian hosts invited us to join them for a horse-ride in the mountains.After two hours on horseback, we reached a valley, where there was a most beautiful meadow, with flowers in all colors dotted on a huge blanket of green.When I began to praise the beauty of nature, my friends told me that in this valley, there used to be a big mine and the wastewater from the mine turned everything brown.When the mine was abandoned, people made great efforts to restore the green vegetation.They also used the latest biological technology choosing the best grass seeds suitable for the local soil.So the beautiful meadow is a result of commitment, hard work, and new technology.What happened to this valley in Australia should also happen to our Yellow River and, in fact, it is happening.I have seen farmers planting trees on mountains along the Yellow River.I have seen them climb the mountain tops with seedlings on their shoulders because they had no machinery.I have seen them pour on trees the water they had carried up in buckets from miles down the valley.These farmers are quietly nourishing our Yellow River, just as the river has nourished them.And these farmers, men and women I don't know, gave me the confidence that we and our Yellow River will grow together, and someday in the future, we will be able to drink the clean water from our Yellow River again, because she is our dearest mother.Thank you.第六屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍——戚悅 戚悅

New Beijing, the Three-colored New Olympics Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
Bidding for the Olympic Games is, in a way, an image-creating undertaking.The first and foremost thing is to let people fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by its unique image.What image does Beijing intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity
to host the 2008 Olympics? It’s known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government has already set the theme for the future games: New Beijing, Great Olympics.For me, the 2008 Olympics will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two more special colors, yellow and red.First, yellow is a meaningful color.The Yellow River is China’s mother river and the cradle of Chinese civilization.We are of the yellow race and descendants of the Yellow Emperor.This color has a special origin and great significance for the Chinese people.Beijing is the capital of New China and previously the capital for nine dynasties in Chinese history.So, yellow will naturally add splendor to the 2008 Games.Secondly, the 2008 Olympics will be a red pageant.Red is another traditionally cherished color for the whole country.We adore red.On big occasions, we like to decorate our homes in red.It is the color of double happiness, representing joyous moments, 1)auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity.Red is one of the most suitable colors to describe the future of Beijing.Beijing, together with the whole country, is becoming more and more prosperous in the process of modernization.Should the 2008 Olympics be held in Beijing, the whole city will be a sea of red: the red torch, red flags, red flowers, and the radiant faces of millions of joyful people.Above all, the 2008 Olympics will be a green Olympics.Adding the green 2)ingredient is essential in creating an appealing image, as we can’t deny the fact that Beijing, at the moment, is not as green a city as what we like it to be.Striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of Beijing.Big efforts have been made in pollution control, replanting and beautification of the city.According to a project entitled “The Green Olympic Action Plan,” between 1998 and 2007, Beijing will have invested 100 billion RMB in preserving and protecting the environment.Some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million acres of grass will be planted along the Fourth Ring Road.By then, the city’s green area will make up 40% of its total.The city will also dredge its 3)reservoirs used as a water supply to Beijing residents, controlling industrial pollution and moving out the 200 factories presently located within the city proper.Certainly, all of this is no easy task.But I am sure that all of us have confidence that we will realize these “green” goals, for now we have the full support and participation of the environmentally conscious citizens.Each citizen is showing great concern for every one of the steps the city government takes.As the saying goes, “United, we stand”, and a green Beijing will be achieved.When our aspiration becomes a reality, it will be a unique Olympics.“New Beijing, Great Olympics” will be weaved of these three superb colors: yellow, red and green.Let us welcome it and look forward to it!Thank you!

Globalization: Challenges and Opportunities for China's Younger Generation Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Today I'm very happy to be here to share with you some of my thoughts on the topic of Globalization.And first of all, I would like to mention an event in our recent history.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 worldnatural scenes aren't natural anymore.Deforestation to heat lodges are 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 appalling 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 eroding 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.36 Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations are receiving donationsfrom 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.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.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.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.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.Thank you very much.第九屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍——洪曄 洪曄 南京大學(xué)

The title of my speech today is “The Doors that Are Open to Us ”.The other day my aunt paid me a visit.She was overjoyed.“I got the highest mark in the mid-term examination!” she said.Don't be surprised!My aunt is indeed a student;to be exact, a college student at the age of 45.Last year, she put aside her private business and signed up for a one-year, full-time management course in a college.“This was the wisest decision I have ever made,” she said
proudly like a teenage girl.To her, college is always a right place to pick up new ideas, and new ideas always make her feel young.“Compared with the late 70s,” she says, “now college students have many doors.” My aunt cannot help but recall her first college experience in 1978 when college doors began to be re-opened after the Cultural Revolution.She was assigned to study engineering despite her desire to study Chinese literature, and a few years later, the government sent her to work in a TV factory.I was shocked when she first told me how she(had)had no choice in her major and job.Look at us today!So many doors are open to us!I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today.And my aunt told me that we should reach our goals by grasping all these opportunities.The first door I see is the opportunity to study different kinds of subjects that interest us.My aunt said she was happy to study management, but she was also happy that she could attend lectures on ancient Chinese poetry and on Shakespearean drama.As for myself, I am an English major, but I may also go to lectures on history.To me, if college education in the past emphasized specialization, now, it emphasizes free and well-rounded development of each individual.So all the fine achievements of human civilization are open to us.The second door is the door to the outside world.Learning goes beyond classrooms and national boundaries.My aunt remembers her previous college days as monotonous and even calls her generation “frogs in a well.” But today, as the world becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors and we be open-minded to learn with and from each other.I have many fellow international classmates, and I am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad.As for my aunt, she is planning to get an MBA degree in the United Kingdom where her daughter, my cousin, is now doing her master's degree in biochemistry.We are now taking the opportunity to study overseas, and when we come back, we'll put to use what we have learnt abroad.The third door is the door to lifelong learning.As new ideas appear all the time, we always need to acquire new knowledge, regardless of our age.Naturally, my aunt herself is the best example.Many of my aunt's contemporaries say that she is amazingly up-to-date for a middle-aged woman.She simply responds, “Age doesn't matter.What matters is your attitude.You may think it's strange that I am still going to college, but I don't think I'm too old to learn.” Yes, she is right.Since the government removed the age limit for college admissions in 2001, there are already some untraditional students, sitting with us in the same classrooms.Like these people, my aunt is old but she is very young in spirit.With her incredible energy and determination, she embodies both tradition and modernity.The doors open to us also pose challenges.For instance, we are faced with the challenge of a balanced learning, the challenge of preserving our fine tradition while learning from the West, and the challenge of learning continuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work
and family.So, each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents, friends and my aunt, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.When I reach my aunt's age, I can be proud to say that I have walked through dozens of doors and will, in the remainder of my life, walk through many more.Possibly I will go back to college, too.Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.第十屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍——夏鵬 夏鵬 南京大學(xué)
夏鵬原系貴州省平壩縣黎陽廠子校學(xué)生,小學(xué)五年級開始進(jìn)入貴陽百年英語學(xué)校系統(tǒng)學(xué)習(xí)英語,2003年,夏鵬以600分的高分考入南京大學(xué)法學(xué)院,后轉(zhuǎn)入英語系。2004年獲得CCTV全國英語演講比賽第二名,同年獲得代表國內(nèi)最高水平的第十屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國英語演講比賽冠軍,同時獲得比賽“最具潛力獎”,并代表中國參加2005年國際英語演講比賽,榮獲獲得冠軍和“最受觀眾歡迎獎”。From Walls to Bridges I'm studying in a city famous for its walls.All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines.With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.Our ancestors liked to build walls.They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country.They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits.This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.I grew up at the foot of the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood.For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city.My classmates and I were walking with some international students.As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads.Suddenly an international student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs?”
“We're already in the Eastern Suburbs,” I replied.He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese have walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate.At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails,” while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student.For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls;the campuses were just part of the cities.I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical
or intangible.We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China's development.Let me give you an example.A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library.However, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, “You can't borrow this book, you are not a student here.” In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy;meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated.Barriers will be replaced by bridges.Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library.With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China's tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world.And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? Should we tear them down? Just the opposite.My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls.These walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage.Walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world.If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of their walls.They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world.Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.40
第二篇:大學(xué)英語演講稿帶翻譯
how to be popular most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal.what is the secret to popularity? in fact, it is very simple.the first step is to improve our appearance.we should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well.when we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better.in addition, we should smile and appear friendly.after all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance.if we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.如何才能受人歡迎
大部分的人都想受人歡迎,但是并非每個人都能達(dá)到目標(biāo)。受歡迎的秘訣何在?事實(shí)上是很簡單的。步驟一,先改善我們的外表。我們得確保自己很健康,并且穿著體面。當(dāng)我們既健康又穿戴整齊時,不僅看起來更有精神,自己也會覺得好多了。此外,我們要保持微笑并表現(xiàn)得很友善。畢竟,臉部表情是外觀很重要的一環(huán)。如果我們能做到這一點(diǎn),別人會被我們的美好外表所吸引,并對我們的自信印象深刻。
另一個重要步驟,就是培養(yǎng)對別人的體貼。永遠(yuǎn)以他人為重,并把別人的利益放在自己的利益之前。當(dāng)個好聽眾也是很重要的;如此一來,別人才能很自在地對我們吐露心事。然而,不管我們做什么事,絕對不要說閑言閑語。最重要的是,要做自己,不要當(dāng)虛偽的人。只有對人真誠又尊重時,才能贏得他人的尊敬。如果我們能做到以上幾點(diǎn),我相信受人歡迎是指日可待的事。
learn how to say no weve all been taught that we should help people.it is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others.it may even win us favors in return.however, we must be realistic.we cant say yes to every request.if we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure.sometimes we simply dont have the time to help.in this case, we must know how to say no politely.學(xué)習(xí)如何說不
我們都被教導(dǎo)說,我們應(yīng)該要幫助別人。這是應(yīng)該做的事,而且這樣做會使我們受人歡迎。它甚至?xí)槲覀冓A得一些回報(bào)。但是,我們必須要實(shí)際一點(diǎn)。我們不能答應(yīng)每一個要求。如果我們這么做,我們就一定會失敗或發(fā)瘋。有時候我們確實(shí)沒有時間去幫忙。既然如此,我們就必須知道如何有禮貌地說不。當(dāng)我們需要說不的時候,有個辦法我們可以試試。首先,我們應(yīng)該要說實(shí)話。假如我們真的辦不到某件事,我們就應(yīng)該說不。第二,我們應(yīng)該記得要客氣地拒絕對方的要求。我們
必須清楚地表達(dá),但態(tài)度也必須真誠并且表示同情。一個真正的朋友會諒解的。最后,我們不必為了說不而覺得有罪惡感。有時候拒絕別人才是我們應(yīng)該做的事。它可以替我們自己和別人,都省下許多麻煩??偠灾?,我們無法一直取悅每個人。拒絕請求是人生的一部分。
how to sell yourself by following the advice above, you are bound to make a good impression on potential employers.then you will be able to choose the best opportunity for you and take that first step towards success.如何自我推銷
在這個競爭激烈的社會中,為了得到你想要的工作,知道如何自我推銷是很重要的。也就是說,你必須能夠銷售你最好的特點(diǎn),并把你最好的一面呈現(xiàn)出來。畢竟,第一印象定江山。要在面試時表現(xiàn)出好的一面,你可以做幾件事情。首先,要看起來像個贏家。穿著保守而體面,會使你看起來像是就要成功了。第二,要能清楚地表達(dá)。仔細(xì)地考慮每個問題,并據(jù)實(shí)回答。記得要和對方有目光接觸,并保持良好的姿勢。你必須看起來專注而自在。第三,態(tài)度要積極而有自信。對你的能力有信心,并對你的未來感到樂觀是很重要的。最后,要充分準(zhǔn)備。遞上一份專業(yè)的簡歷,并準(zhǔn)備好詳細(xì)解釋每件事。遵照以上的建議,你就一定會給可能成為你老板的那些人,留下好的印象。然后你就可以選擇對你而言最好的機(jī)會。并踏出邁向成功的第一步。responsibility is a badge of honour for youth(96年“21世紀(jì)杯全國大學(xué)生英語演講比賽”二等獎獲得者,北京外國語大學(xué)徐義成)im grateful that ive been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me.but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, could you please explain this to me? i want very much to do better this time.i started explaining, and finished in a hurry.pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly.nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer.no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldnt forgive myself.i simply couldnt forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, why didnt you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didnt you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret? i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word responsibility and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.later in my life, i continued to experience many failures.but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who cant even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.probably ill be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.but this doesnt discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, its going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.i cant ever forget that little girl in my class who couldnt had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.we are not going to evade that responsibility.we are going to let people down.and people, far and near, will hear of us.frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.責(zé)任感——青年人榮譽(yù)的標(biāo)志
站在臺上面對大家,我心情十分激動。好像是在參加一次歷史性的長征。我們今天面對的遠(yuǎn)不只一場競賽或角逐。這是才華出眾,生氣勃勃的中國青年的一次聚會。我們是青年一代的代表。為迎接新世紀(jì)的到來,我們正在從各方面作好準(zhǔn)備。在這一歷史時刻,能有機(jī)會代表同齡人在此認(rèn)真地回顧于國于己都至關(guān)重要的過去的15年,我感激萬分。
盡管只能談?wù)剛€人經(jīng)歷,而且只涉及其中一個小小的片段,但我相信,它仍然折射出對我和在過去15年間一同成長起來的青年人都不可缺少的一種思想基礎(chǔ)。我上小學(xué)時,班上有位小姑娘,學(xué)習(xí)非??炭喽煽儏s不盡人意。老師要我?guī)椭?吹贸觯布暮裢谖?。但我那時還是個小男孩,坐不住,不懂事。我老是me避她。以便有更多時間自己玩。
期末考試前一天,她來求我說“請你給我講解一下行嗎?這次我很想考得好一點(diǎn)。”我開始給她講解,不一會兒便草草收場,假裝沒有察覺她迷茫的眼神,一溜煙兒地跑開了。不出所料,這次她又考砸了。兩個月后,新學(xué)期依始,傳來她死于血癌的消息。我沒有完成那項(xiàng)小小的任務(wù),無人知曉。但我卻不能原諒自己。她的眼睛令我難以忘懷,仿佛在責(zé)問我,“你為什么不愿多幫助我呢?這對于你來說,并不費(fèi)事。你為什么不能理解我對你的信賴,而讓我?guī)е纯嗪瓦z憾離開這個世界?”
我當(dāng)時才八九歲。但從某種意義上講,這件事成了我生活的新起點(diǎn)。因?yàn)槲议_始體會到“責(zé)任”二字的意義,并盡心盡力地學(xué)著完成自己的義務(wù)。我也逐漸領(lǐng)會了這個神圣字眼的深刻內(nèi)含:人與人之間的彼此需要和信任、合作和依賴正是人類社會存在的基礎(chǔ)。之后,我在生活中又經(jīng)受過多次失敗,但那小姑娘之死所引起的懊悔,心里卻不曾再現(xiàn)。想到自己做每一件事都能盡職盡責(zé),一種滿足之感便油然而生。此事及類似的多起事件改變了我,完善了我。當(dāng)我長大成人,我開始領(lǐng)悟周圍發(fā)生的一切變化。我發(fā)現(xiàn),從某種意義上說,社會跟我一樣,正處在一個自我完善的時期。新建筑、新商品、新款式一天一個樣。新思維、新信息、新技術(shù)層出不窮。即便萬里相隔,人們在轉(zhuǎn)瞬之間即可相互交談。社會競爭越演越烈。
人們越來越強(qiáng)調(diào)個性和創(chuàng)造性。越來越多的人因工作努力而受到獎賞。這就是當(dāng)今的時代,一代新人由成長邁入成熟的時代。這是我們這一代人接替父輩治國安邦的時代。然而,我們也面臨很多間題。
據(jù)悉,壞人在光天化日之下作惡,周圍的群眾居然袖手旁觀,無動于衷。我還聽說,目前我國尚有100萬兒童連小學(xué)也上不起,而巨額資金卻拿去舉辦奢侈的宴會和購置豪華的轎車。
我們常常買的是劣質(zhì)藥品,或名曰藥品實(shí)為一文不值的廢物,非但不能除病去痛,反而會使病情加重。在某些人看來,世上金錢最寶貴,只要能賺錢,不惜犧牲道德和責(zé)任。
因而,這個時代賦予我們的是更強(qiáng)烈的競爭和效率意識,使我們更善于批判性地思考和創(chuàng)造性地行動。
此外,這個時代要求我們這一代人必須認(rèn)清自己肩負(fù)的歷史重任,下定決心,采取行動,解決上述問題。長期以來,歷史一直在我們這一代人身上培養(yǎng)著這些品質(zhì)?,F(xiàn)在,歷史呼喚我們挺身而出,以實(shí)際行動向全民族及全人類證實(shí)我們的拳拳愛國之心和大無畏的英雄主義。此刻,我站在講臺上回顧15年來的學(xué)生生活。今后的歲月,我很可能平平淡淡地度過。但這絲毫不會讓我心灰意冷。因?yàn)槲抑?,憑借強(qiáng)烈的責(zé)任感和精益求精的不懈奮斗,我將追求一種有意義的生活,一種不枉此生的生活。
此刻,我站在講臺上回顧過去,15年來祖國取得的巨大成就激勵著千千萬萬的同齡人。我們之中大多數(shù)人將與名利和權(quán)力無緣。只有極少數(shù)人或許會后世留芳。對此我們絲毫也不會在意。因?yàn)槲覀冎溃澜缭谟^望,世界在傾聽。在這個大量機(jī)遇和激烈竟?fàn)幉⒋娴臅r代,我們國家究竟去向何方,整個世界都在關(guān)注。
我永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記班上那位小姑娘。她本應(yīng)該卻沒能和在座各位一樣享受今天美好的人生和明日充滿希望的世界。
接受新世紀(jì)的挑戰(zhàn),把我們的血汗、智慧和熱情奉獻(xiàn)給建設(shè)祖國、造福人民的偉大歷史事業(yè)。這就是我們這一代人的神圣職責(zé)。
我們決不逃避責(zé)任,決不辜負(fù)人民的期望。我們的業(yè)績將四海傳揚(yáng)。我們的故事將被反復(fù)講述,定會令人驚嘆不已,以至熱淚盈眶。
有幸與時代為伍的朋友們,讓我們勇往直前,以勝利的姿態(tài)迎接光輝燦爛的新世紀(jì)的來臨!演說者簡介】劉欣(1975一),南京大學(xué)外國語學(xué)院英語系學(xué)生,在1995年底的校級英語演講賽中脫穎而出,代表南京大學(xué)參加1996年3月22日在北京舉行的“21世紀(jì)杯全國大學(xué)生英語演講比賽”.以《選擇的重要性》為題發(fā)表演說,奪得比賽第一名。knowing the consequences of choice over the past spring festival, i got involved in a family dispute.right before i got home, four satellite channels of cctv were added to the 14 channels we had already had.in prime time at night, they all had interesting shows.therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and i-had to argue over what to watch.finally, we agreed that we should watch the most interesting programme...if we could agree what that was.however, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had tv, there were only one or two channels available.the increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour.today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers.today, we read english newspapers like the篇二:3分鐘英語演講稿帶翻譯3篇 my chinese dream 我的中國夢 i am very glad to stand here to give thier a short speech.today my topic is that the youth are the future of motherland 很高興站在這里做這篇短小的演講,我演講的主題是青年是祖國的未來。
在準(zhǔn)備英語演講比賽的時候,我本想簡單地從網(wǎng)上搜索一些文章作為我演講的內(nèi)容。我看過很多文章,有著名主持人的、北大教授的、大學(xué)生的,也有初中生的。但是看完之后,我放棄了當(dāng)初的想法,我甚至為當(dāng)初的想法感到有一些羞愧。因?yàn)榻裉煳艺驹谶@里向大家演講的主題,是一個莊重而嚴(yán)肅的主題;是一個充滿榮耀與自豪的主題;是每一個中華兒女共同期盼的主題。每個人都有屬于他們自己的中國夢,而我,當(dāng)然也有一直縈繞在心懷只屬于我的中國夢。
so what?s my chinese dream ? finally i will announce.we had learned a lot of knowledge and understood a lot of truth in the book.we had a basic concept to our country at that time.we know that our country is full of sunshine , and we are the future of our country, and our dreams are to be the hope of our motherland.我的中國夢是什么樣的?先賣個關(guān)子。
記得剛剛上學(xué)那會兒,我們天真無邪。在課本里,我們學(xué)到了很多很多知識,也明白了很多很多道理,我們對祖國也有了一個最基本的概念。我們知道我們的祖國到處充滿陽光,正在慢慢發(fā)展,而我們,就是祖國未來的花朵,未來的希望。我們夢想將來能夠成為祖國的希望。
這,是我們最初的中國夢。最真誠的我們,最真誠的夢。
但是,不知道什么時候開始,我們長大了,生活似乎一下子變得和以前不太一樣了,與此同時,雖然我們很不想承認(rèn)但是卻又不得不承認(rèn)的是,我們的思想,我們的為人處世觀,我們對我們祖國的看法,也潛移默化中慢慢開始了轉(zhuǎn)變。我們的社會變得到處充滿欺騙、冷漠、勾心斗角、壓力、腐敗、險(xiǎn)惡,我們變得暴躁,不冷靜,憤世嫉俗。我們的國家,似乎也開始變得千瘡百孔。而好多我們親愛的祖國委以重任培養(yǎng)的青年學(xué)生們變得輕浮、急躁,更別提什么夢想,什么中國夢了? are we sick, or is our dear motherland sick? 我很驚訝,當(dāng)大街上有老人摔倒,我們不敢再去扶起;我很難過,當(dāng)有人做了好事被報(bào)道,更多的人說他做作;我很傷心,當(dāng)我看到我們眾多的青年人變得冷漠、市儈、欺詐以及缺乏理想。
到底是我們病了,還是我們親愛的祖國病了? i dont want to talk about the construction of our country politics, and also speak impassioned speech on the diaoyu island event.i just want to appeal young people,showing the side of youth,good and confidence.we must learn to organize our own thoughts, correct our own concept, and change our direction to the right side in future life.china dream actually lies in our young generation, especially of the intellectuals.我的中國夢,不想大談?wù)?,也不想對釣魚島事件發(fā)表慷慨激昂的演講。我只想呼吁,呼吁我們年輕人,呼吁我們祖國的希望能夠?qū)⑽覀兊那啻阂幻?,將我們的善良一面,將我們的自信一面好好展現(xiàn)出來。我們要學(xué)會整理自己的思想,端正自己看問題的觀念,擺正自己的人生方向。我們的中國夢實(shí)際上正掌握在我們自己手上,掌握在我們年青一代,尤其是知識分子手上。

我的夢想
各位老師們上午好,我很高興能參加這次比賽。我的名字叫冷凌萱,今年我12歲了。我是來自橫路中心完小六年級一班?,F(xiàn)在我將開始我的演講《我的夢想》。
每個人都有自己的夢想,有些人想成為醫(yī)生有些人想成為作家家。但是我的夢想是成為一個老師。因?yàn)槲覛J佩老師。老師在學(xué)校不能教我們很多東西,但是他們盡他們最大的努力去教我們怎么學(xué)習(xí)。由于他們我們學(xué)到了很多知識。并且同時我們學(xué)到了怎樣去過一個幸福的生活。他們花大部分的時間在他們的學(xué)生身上。他們在我心里是最好的。我知道我的夢想實(shí)現(xiàn)不是那么容易。張海迪阿姨有次說過:“每個人的生活是一艘船,理想就是船帆?!奔偃缯f理想是駛向成功的船,我將要掌好船舵。
所以從現(xiàn)在開始我將更努力的學(xué)習(xí)。我相信我的夢想總有一天將會實(shí)現(xiàn)。我的演講結(jié)束,謝謝您們的聆聽。篇五:大學(xué)生英語演講稿范文帶譯文 youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind;it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease.this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.nobody grows old merely by a number of years.we grow old by deserting our ideals.years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.en369.cn whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young.when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.thank you!青春
青春不是指歲月,而是指心態(tài)。粉嫩的臉,紅潤的唇,矯健的膝并不是青春。青春表現(xiàn)在意志的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)與懦弱。想象的豐富與蒼白、情感的充沛與貧乏等方面。青春是生命深處清泉的噴涌。
青春是追求。只有當(dāng)勇氣蓋過怯弱、進(jìn)取壓倒茍安之時,青春才存在。果如此,則60見之長者比20歲之少年更具青春活力。僅僅歲月的流逝并不能使他們衰老。而一旦拋棄理想和信念,則垂垂老也。歲月只能使皮膚起皺。而一旦喪失生活的激情,則連靈魂枯老,使人生枯如死水,毫無活力。60歲長者也好,16歲少年也罷,每個人的內(nèi)心深處都渴望奇跡,都如孩子一般眨著期待的雙眼,期待著下一次,期待著生活的情趣,你我靈魂深處都有一座無線電中轉(zhuǎn)站------只有你我年輕,則總能聽到希望的呼喚,總能發(fā)出喜悅的歡呼,總能傳達(dá)勇氣的訊號,總能表現(xiàn)出青春的活力??? 一旦青春的天線倒下,你的靈魂即為玩世不恭之雪、悲觀厭世之冰覆蓋;即使你年方20.其實(shí)你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天線高高聳起,就可以隨時接收到樂觀的電波-----即使你年過八旬,行將就木,而你卻仍然擁有青春,你仍然年輕。
