演講稿青春的宣言

無(wú)情的冰雪、罕見(jiàn)的地震、盛世的奧運(yùn)、飛天的神七…在我們備戰(zhàn)愛(ài)情的日子里發(fā)生了太多的不平凡事。然而，短暫的悸動(dòng)之后，我們強(qiáng)捺住內(nèi)心的波瀾，任窗外日升日落、花開(kāi)花謝，不變的是教室里奮筆疾書的身影。就這樣，本該熱血澎湃、熱情洋溢的青春被高三的簡(jiǎn)單所遮避。幸運(yùn)的是，我們走過(guò)了高考；不幸的是，我們還沒(méi)有找到重啟青春的鑰匙。曾幾何時(shí)，擁有青春的莘莘學(xué)子在被賦予本科愛(ài)情生之稱的壯麗歲月里高呼：平平淡淡才是真！頗有誓死把老莊的無(wú)為思想發(fā)揚(yáng)到底之勢(shì)。于是乎，有人只專注于網(wǎng)絡(luò)愛(ài)情，不是在機(jī)房，就是在去機(jī)房的路上；有人只鐘情于愛(ài)情，自習(xí)室里照樣卿卿我我，花前月下的成雙成對(duì)自是每日必修；有人只愿意睡覺(jué)、逛街、玩手機(jī)以消磨時(shí)光；有人日日夜夜的只在寢室里抱著武俠言情，如癡如醉…是什么使我們本該充滿青春活力的校園生活減退了繽紛的色彩呢？是因?yàn)槲覀儧](méi)有走進(jìn)夢(mèng)想中的象牙塔？是因?yàn)槲覀兾醋叱鲎晕依Щ蟮牡貛?？還是因?yàn)槲覀兊男恼娴牟辉倌贻p，確實(shí)把一切都看的平淡了呢？然而我要說(shuō)，不！都不是！主宰世界的是我們，放棄世界的依然是我們。記得高中老師給我們的臨別贈(zèng)言中有這樣的一句話，他說(shuō)：人生是開(kāi)口向下的拋物線，你們正處在拋物線的頂點(diǎn)。那是一道另老年人羨慕、中年人留戀、少年人向往的青春風(fēng)景線，是生命的巔峰。正處在生命巔峰的我們有什么理由去揮霍這大好的青春時(shí)光呢？朋友們，青，是綠色，是生命的綠色；春，是季節(jié)，是成長(zhǎng)的季節(jié)。青春是人生最美好的時(shí)光，青春是人生最鏗鏘的篇章，青春是摧枯拉朽的豪情，青春是旭日東升的力量青春的美好似乎已遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不是美好二字可以形容的。于是有人這樣說(shuō)：青春是如此的美好，美好到怎樣度過(guò)都是一種浪費(fèi)。最初看到這句話時(shí)，心中涌起一陣莫名的恐懼：我還懷著繽紛的夢(mèng)想憧憬青春時(shí)，她就已經(jīng)被判了死刑嗎？直到某日深夜，我在桔黃色的燈光下與屠格涅夫邂逅。他似乎是在自言自語(yǔ)：啊～青春！青春！或許你美妙的全部奧秘不在于能夠做出一切，而在于希望做出一切。至此，我暢然釋懷，我可以期許能夠參加盡量多的社會(huì)工作，同時(shí)保持驕人的學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)。挑戰(zhàn)一下孟子的權(quán)威，過(guò)過(guò)魚(yú)與愛(ài)情掌兼得的日子。我還可以走進(jìn)大自然，聞一聞泥土的芬芳，算是又撈了些蝦米吧。當(dāng)然，如果我愿意，我可以逛逛街、看看武俠言情；如果我喜歡，我可以偶爾體驗(yàn)一下網(wǎng)游的刺激；如果我幸運(yùn)，遇到了心儀的他，我可以轟轟烈烈地談一場(chǎng)屬于自己的戀愛(ài)。這一切的一切，只因?yàn)?，我們無(wú)需成熟，也不再無(wú)知，我們唯有執(zhí)著，而青春正是我們執(zhí)著的資本。但是，朋友們！請(qǐng)記住，莎士比亞說(shuō)過(guò)，青春是不耐久藏的東西。因此，朋友們！在你們肆無(wú)忌憚地享受青春風(fēng)那般的自由、云那般的詩(shī)意時(shí)，千萬(wàn)不要過(guò)度，以至于讓這美好的青春變質(zhì)。不知道你們?cè)诳赐辍朵撹F是怎樣煉成的》之后，除了那個(gè)堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的保爾，是否還記得這樣的一句話，青春是生活賦予我們的一種巨大的和無(wú)限高貴的禮品。朋友，當(dāng)你懷抱著這份禮品，即將拆開(kāi)華麗的禮品盒時(shí)，是否探求思索過(guò)，這被稱為青春的禮品是怎樣的呢？它是一條山路，時(shí)而展現(xiàn)春意盎然的圖景，時(shí)而滋長(zhǎng)鮮艷魅惑的

晚上好，女士們，先生們：

thank you very much fou choosing to e in such a cold night.today my topic is about choice and process.a research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.with so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of ma-ki-ng wrong choice that they hesitate and finally mithe true part of life.in my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice.there is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the procemakes the difference.非常感謝你傅聰來(lái)選擇在這樣一個(gè)寒冷夜晚.今天我的話題是關(guān)于選擇和process.a研究表明，一個(gè)人必須作出的選擇73一一天，如此眾多的選擇，有一天，人們?nèi)菀谆煜?，因此害怕作出錯(cuò)誤的選擇，他們毫不猶豫地并最終錯(cuò)過(guò)了真正的生活的一部分。在我看來(lái)，下面的部分是更重要的不是選擇。沒(méi)有絕對(duì)的對(duì)錯(cuò)選擇，但精彩或乏味的生活，這使得該進(jìn)程的差異。演講稿范文：《學(xué)生在我心中》

尊敬的老師們，親愛(ài)的同學(xué)們：

大家好!很高興能有機(jī)會(huì)參加這次演講大會(huì)，我演講的題目是《學(xué)生在我心中》。老師們，同學(xué)們，在我的心目中，學(xué)校無(wú)小事，學(xué)生的利益高于一切。

作為一名教師，做好本職工作是我追求的最高目標(biāo)。四年前的9月，學(xué)校因英語(yǔ)教師調(diào)出，決定讓我由畢業(yè)班語(yǔ)文改教初二英語(yǔ)。我有很大顧慮，因?yàn)槲业挠⒄Z(yǔ)水平不高，恐怕教不好我的學(xué)生。但從學(xué)校工作的大局出發(fā)，為了一個(gè)個(gè)求知若渴的學(xué)生，我愉快地接受了學(xué)校的安排。老師們，同學(xué)們，畢業(yè)后十多年，我一直沒(méi)教過(guò)英語(yǔ)，困難可想而知，我邊學(xué)邊教，那段時(shí)間，我常常學(xué)習(xí)到夜里十一點(diǎn)鐘，用最短的時(shí)間系統(tǒng)復(fù)習(xí)了初中英語(yǔ)知識(shí)，虛心向老教師學(xué)習(xí)，很快適應(yīng)了英語(yǔ)科的教學(xué)。我當(dāng)時(shí)只有一個(gè)想法，決不能讓一個(gè)學(xué)生因?yàn)槲业脑蚨絷?duì)。事實(shí)證明，我做到了。為了上好一節(jié)課，我自費(fèi)購(gòu)買了好幾本英語(yǔ)資料和輔導(dǎo)書，反復(fù)查閱、學(xué)習(xí)，記筆記、做練習(xí)題，精心構(gòu)思教案，直到滿意為止。為了教會(huì)學(xué)生一個(gè)知識(shí)點(diǎn)，我挖空心思設(shè)計(jì)教法、學(xué)法和練習(xí)題，使學(xué)生更容易掌握所學(xué)的內(nèi)容。今年的9月，因我校語(yǔ)文教師缺額，我服從學(xué)校的安排又由英語(yǔ)改教初三語(yǔ)文。雖說(shuō)我學(xué)的是中文專業(yè)，但畢竟已荒疏了四年。四年，轉(zhuǎn)了一個(gè)圈，我又回到了原地，一切從頭再來(lái)。面對(duì)陌生的教材，面對(duì)熟悉的學(xué)生，我有很大的壓力，但我相信我的學(xué)生是最棒的，我會(huì)竭盡全力教好你們，親愛(ài)的同學(xué)們!愿我們合作愉快!

參加工作十一年來(lái)，我干了九年班主任。班主任工作千頭萬(wàn)緒，需要耗費(fèi)大量的心血。有時(shí)為了幫助學(xué)生解除思想上的困惑，我苦口婆心、想方設(shè)法地開(kāi)導(dǎo)、勸說(shuō)，甚至多次家訪，直到解除學(xué)生思想上的疙瘩，我才放下心來(lái)。去年我班上有一個(gè)學(xué)生，經(jīng)常遲到，曠課，逃課上網(wǎng)。在課堂上也不遵守紀(jì)律，根本不服從管理。我知道，“冰凍三尺非一日之寒”，這樣的學(xué)生，積習(xí)難改，如果找不到突破口，任何說(shuō)教都無(wú)濟(jì)于事。于是決定先找他談話，為了避免在辦公室他有所顧忌，我把談話地點(diǎn)安排在校園的林陰道上。沒(méi)等我開(kāi)口，他就頭一仰，眼一斜，一副輕蔑的樣子。我沒(méi)有在意他的態(tài)度，心平氣和地問(wèn)他：“你家住哪里?家里幾口人?生活怎樣?在學(xué)校有什么困難嗎?我能否幫助你?”他看我態(tài)度很和藹，一一作答，還對(duì)我說(shuō)了他的一些想法：“老師，不瞞你說(shuō)，還從來(lái)沒(méi)有老師這樣和我談過(guò)話。我故意做壞事，搞惡作劇，上網(wǎng)聊天打游戲，老師不讓做什么，我偏做什么，我就是要引起老師的注意。反正我是一個(gè)壞學(xué)生，我是壞蛋我怕誰(shuí)?”我不動(dòng)聲色地問(wèn)：“那么，你認(rèn)為自己是一個(gè)壞學(xué)生了?”他驚奇得瞪大眼睛：“我還不夠壞?”我輕描淡寫的問(wèn)：“你殺過(guò)人，還是放過(guò)火?“沒(méi)有。”“那么，你被公安局抓過(guò)?”“沒(méi)——有?！薄澳悄阍醴Q得上是壞學(xué)生?哪一個(gè)學(xué)生不會(huì)犯點(diǎn)小錯(cuò)誤呢?男孩子調(diào)皮一點(diǎn)兒算什么呢?”他一下子還真的沒(méi)轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)彎來(lái)。因?yàn)樗呀?jīng)習(xí)慣了被人看作壞學(xué)生，自己也認(rèn)為自己就是壞學(xué)生了。我說(shuō)：“只要你能改正自己的缺點(diǎn)，你一定會(huì)是一個(gè)好學(xué)生?！边@次談話之后，他變了：上學(xué)從不遲到，上課表現(xiàn)得非常好。偶爾管不住自己，我便及時(shí)用眼神制止，告訴他：老師在看著你呢!經(jīng)過(guò)一個(gè)階段的努力，他上課能夠坐得住了，認(rèn)真聽(tīng)講，積極回答問(wèn)題了，學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)也直線上升，還擔(dān)任了小組長(zhǎng)，成為老師的得力助手，同學(xué)們也開(kāi)始喜歡他了?！?.12”汶川地震后，為地震災(zāi)區(qū)捐款，他帶頭捐了20元。

在此，我祝全體教師工作順利、萬(wàn)事如意!祝全體同學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)步，天天開(kāi)心!

第三篇：青春宣言演講稿

青春是一首詩(shī)，雋永的字句里流露出理想的渴望。青春是一幅畫，斑斕的色彩中描繪著未來(lái)的理想。青春是一支歌，律動(dòng)的節(jié)拍間跳動(dòng)著時(shí)代的音符。人人都擁有青春，有人將有，那是希望;有人曾有，那是懷念;有人正擁有，那是財(cái)富。——題記 望著這波濤洶涌的大海，洋溢著青春的激-情，盡情暢懷我的青春宣言： 青春如火，壯麗而富有動(dòng)感，劇烈而又不失平靜。青春如歌，悠揚(yáng)而富有溫馨，廣闊而不失深邃。青春如夢(mèng)，若隱若現(xiàn)，短暫而充滿理想，高闊而讓人羨慕。因?yàn)閾碛星啻?，我們懷著自信，帶著與生俱來(lái)的那股闖勁，執(zhí)著地追求自己的理想。我們總告訴自己，即使跌倒了10次，也要有站起10次的英姿，不要總是讓淚水打濕了詩(shī)行。青春對(duì)于擁有它的人而言是公平的。在每個(gè)人的青春期間，只要好好地珍惜它，充實(shí)它。在這個(gè)期間就一定會(huì)干出一番好的事業(yè)，青春將永留心中。若是碌碌而庸，那么，青春將會(huì)隨著時(shí)間悄悄地溜走。車爾尼爾夫斯基有一句名言：“一個(gè)沒(méi)有被獻(xiàn)知熱情所鼓舞的人，永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)做出偉大的事情?！惫怅幉荒芸斩?，青春不能虛擲。為了在生活中體現(xiàn)出人生的價(jià)值，我愿意把寶貴的青春奉獻(xiàn)給新世紀(jì)?！白尲?情閃電澈遍靈空;讓夢(mèng)想舞蹈出張揚(yáng)自我;讓純真笑出冬日暖陽(yáng);讓時(shí)間飛逝成永恒花朵。” 這就是我的青春宣言!

我從青春的年華里打馬走過(guò)，一步一步，細(xì)心的譜寫我的青春的變奏曲，待回首時(shí)，再去細(xì)細(xì)品味著那屬于我的青春的旋律————有維美，有成長(zhǎng)，有青澀，有傷痛，也許，就是因?yàn)檫@份雜味的情感，才讓我這么深深的追憶著我未完待續(xù)的青春吧!

我相信每個(gè)人都有過(guò)對(duì)青春的理解與感悟，曾經(jīng)都帶著自己的小驕傲，小清高走上青春的道路，也有著自己驕傲的青春宣言。可，末了，總會(huì)在現(xiàn)實(shí)面前被打擊得體無(wú)完膚，于是有過(guò)不服，有過(guò)傷感?？蛇€是會(huì)一次一次的站起來(lái)，繼續(xù)著自己的青春之路，也許有點(diǎn)小傷痛吧，但，經(jīng)過(guò)青春的洗禮的人都知道，其實(shí)，“痛，是青春必須走的一步”。我相信，有那么一些時(shí)候，這種關(guān)于青春的傷痛有何嘗不會(huì)帶給我們一些對(duì)生活的理解與感悟呢?于是我們可以那么篤信的認(rèn)為，：“痛，是源于上帝的愛(ài)”。吧!

就像我自己，始終相信我的青春我做主。一直是個(gè)心比天高的女孩，有過(guò)很多驕傲的夢(mèng)想，有過(guò)對(duì)未來(lái)維美到極至的憧憬，有過(guò)很多的小自信，可終會(huì)在青春的洗禮中被那么隨意而又深刻的打擊著，可正是因?yàn)檫@份特別，讓我成長(zhǎng)，讓我收獲。。。

青春的旋律，美麗的變奏曲，我的青春我做主，走過(guò)傷痛，當(dāng)然也走過(guò)美好與收獲。。。

我想，走過(guò)青春的人都知道，我們?cè)?jīng)都是那個(gè)年少輕狂的孩子，那么不懈的看待這一切，有幼稚，有不懂，可都有種世界在我心中的狂妄。經(jīng)歷了青春，方知，我們的渺小，我們的幼稚與不成熟，以及我們的年少，那時(shí)候，我們才會(huì)那么深刻的體會(huì)到我們還是孩子吧!于是我們會(huì)自信的走上這條叫做青春的這條道路，一路，用自己的激-情與信念跋涉著，即使有阻礙，也會(huì)用自己的毅力與信念走著，一路收獲，一路成長(zhǎng)、!因?yàn)槲覀兪冀K執(zhí)著的堅(jiān)持者自己那些驕傲的夢(mèng)想，那些關(guān)于未來(lái)的憧憬，以及對(duì)于生活中下一秒的期待吧!也是阿!年少的我們總會(huì)有著不竭的激-情與向往，于是我們可以那么勇敢而又自信的走下去，走下去。。。不管未來(lái)到底是什么樣子，我們始終相信，堅(jiān)持過(guò)，努力過(guò)，經(jīng)歷過(guò)，就是最大的收獲了！!也是對(duì)青春最好的回饋!

我們都是在理想與期望中長(zhǎng)大的孩子，我們?cè)?jīng)都那么執(zhí)著的相信很多東西，可只有走過(guò)青春，才會(huì)明白一些東西，理解一些東西，收獲一些東西。。。所以才會(huì)對(duì)生活有著一步一步的了解，所以退去了自己的年少輕狂開(kāi)始學(xué)會(huì)用一顆成熟的心去看待這個(gè)繽紛的世界，去收獲自己關(guān)于生活，關(guān)于未來(lái)，關(guān)于自我的理解，才會(huì)更理智的去看待很多生活中的東西，也許只是些微不足道的瑣碎，于是，不再那么年輕氣盛，不懈一顧了。也許，當(dāng)我們偶爾不經(jīng)意的回首時(shí)，我們會(huì)那么深刻而又清晰的成長(zhǎng)與小成熟吧!

我的青春我做主，我始終帶著自己對(duì)生活熱忱的愛(ài)與期待，努力而又自信的走著自己那些關(guān)于青春的每一步，每一步，每一步都會(huì)有著對(duì)生活的感悟與收獲，也許小到微不足道吧!但我也幸福的相信這是我的青春，我的滋味!

記得有部電視劇就叫做《我的青春我做主》，我很感嘆于那個(gè)叫錢小樣的女孩的執(zhí)著與堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。感覺(jué)她的青春是那么的多姿與豐富，而她，也始終是自己青春的主角，自我而又簡(jiǎn)單的走著屬于自己的青春，不管未來(lái)的種種。。。感覺(jué)她就是那種堅(jiān)強(qiáng)而有努力的走過(guò)自己的青春，也許有過(guò)錯(cuò)，有過(guò)傷，但

她會(huì)那么執(zhí)著的走下去，也許走到最后才會(huì)回首去看看到底錯(cuò)在哪里吧!

我的青春我做主，我會(huì)帶著自己的信念與期待，迎著生活的朝陽(yáng)，自信，努力而又堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的走下去，走下去，不管未來(lái)十什么樣子，我始終相信，我的青春，我來(lái)過(guò)，主宰過(guò)，努力過(guò)，就是最有價(jià)值的！!

Our Future: A Battle between Dreams and Reality

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

When I was in the primary school, I have a dream.I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all.When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university.And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate.How pathetic!When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic.Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be “fulfilled”? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called “reality”? What IS the reality actually?

Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real.It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies.Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years.A hundred years ago, “man could not fly” was still regarded as the “reality”.Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams.And if, unfortunately, Mr.Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all.AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality;People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality;4)Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality.Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands.Oh, quite a number of you!Actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task.Every one of us has to make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished.How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don't dream anymore? Dear 5)adjudicators, what do you think? C.S.Lewis once said, “You are never too old to dream a new dream.” So for our future, please dream and be unrealistic.Now that I am a university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences.But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future.One day, people living in the areas now 6)sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment.One day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves.One day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be 7)eliminated.One day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true.One day, our dream will defeat the reality!Thank you very much.第十屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽季軍——張阿旭

Two-Way Traffic Seven centuries ago, Marco Polo, after staying in our country for almost twenty years, brought the secrets of spaghetti and ice-cream with him back to Italy.More than seven hundred years later, with the prevalence of globalization, our people, our food, our products and many other items, have traveled to many other places beyond Italy.No matter where these Chinese people, Chinese food, Chinese products and many other Chinese items are, they carry with them qualities that are unique to our very own Chinese cultureMcDonald's, KFCs, soccer players and NBA players.And we are even having this prestigious national speaking competition in a language that does not belong to us.In the midst of western products pouring in China as a result of globalization, sometimes we do wonder, where does our own culture belong? When we see our younger generations going away from traditional values such as contextual and role-based ethics, ideal of community, hierarchy, paternalism and non-litigious nature of society, we may even think our traditional values are challenged and even threatened.But, are we really losing our values? Ladies and gentlemen, we must remember, the traffic of globalization is two-way.Yes, films from Hollywood, soccer from the United Kingdom and restaurants from America, do have an impact on our values.But, if we see globalization in China a synonymous term with western economic cultural hegemony, we are underestimating the impact of not only globalization but also our values.Have a look at languages.Yes, it is the desire and dream of every single Chinese to speak fluent English, including every single one of us here.But, have you ever wondered how many non-Chinese are learning Chinese? Let me tell you, by the end of 2002, nearly 30 million people from 85 countries and regions were learning standard Chinese, Putonghua.And who knows about the number of people learning regional dialects such as Shanghainese and Cantonese.In these two years, I am sure none of us here will be surprised that the number is skyrocketing.Have a look at Feng Shui, within 0.21 seconds Google brings you 1,270,000 websites about Feng Shui, not in Chinese, not from all over the world, but in English, just within the United States.And I guess some of you still remember, when the previous American president, Bill Clinton, first became president.He actually had the furniture of his office rearranged according to feng shui ideas.Have a look at traditional Chinese medicine.Four years ago, in 2001, there were already more than 120 000 traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, researchers and related business trading companies in Europe, just Europe.Our holistic approach of taking care of a person's health has been proven popular in the world.Our values, language, our Feng Shui, our traditional medicine and also Kung Fu that I have not really talked about, are all parts and messengers of our culture and values.What does their success in the west tell us? Their popularity tells us that, alongside cheap consumer products, we are exporting to the west, Chinese beliefs and, values.Ladies and gentlemen, globalization, yes it has its impacts on our values.It is sending our values overseas and bringing in new ones.Let's not see the bringing in of new ones a threat to our own culture.As a matter of fact, the bringing in is a very good opportunity and time to rethink and reflect who we are and what we want to be.It is upon us whether globalization has a positive or negative impact on our traditional values.Ladies and gentlemen, I see this positively, I know even if our traditional values are changing or to change, the change is for better, not for worse.Thank you very much.第十屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽亞軍——張京

The Impact of Globalization on Traditional Chinese Values Good morning, ladies and gentlemen: Before western and Chinese civilization came into close contact, Chinese people had always longed for a life depicted in traditional Chinese paintings.Those paintings present a harmonious coexistence of people and other life forms.Regarded as the essence of ancient Chinese philosophies, harmony has been deeply-rooted in the minds of the Chinese people.On the one hand, it has contributed to the unique continuity of Chinese civilization.On the other, Chinese people became too much contented with their achievements to desire any further changes.As globalization deepens, it is bound to affect our ideal of harmony.First, globalization urges China to speed up its modernization, which threatens our regard for the harmony between Man and Nature.For instance, many dams and hydropower stations are being built for economic benefits at the expense of the well-preserved natural habitats.However, ecological malpractice of such kind goes against the notion of harmonious coexistence in ancient Chinese philosophies.More than 2,000 years ago, long before the concept of environmental protection came into being, DuJiang Weir, a great irrigation project was built in southwestern China's Sichuan province.It succeeded both in controlling floods and in facilitating the agriculture without posing a threat to the environment.Moreover, globalization has brought with it intense competition.Traditionally, moderation is a golden principle, presiding over inter-personal relations in China.Today, however, motivated to come to the top, some people become so self-centered that they choose to sacrifice love, friendship and even family ties.Last but not least, diverse cultures have met in China as a consequence of globalization.Therefore, a clash of cultures becomes inevitable.Unfortunately, the past decades have witnessed a huge loss of cultural heritage in China.In cities like Beijing and Xi'an, hundreds of century-old Chinese-style houses are being demolished to make room for skyscrapers, shopping malls and eight-lane expressways.From these examples, we see the disharmony brought about by globalization.Yet it is not globalization that is to blame.As long as we approach globalization with harmony in mind, its benefit will outweigh its cost.Take my hometown, Hangzhou, for example, thanks to the strenuous efforts made by the municipal government in achieving eco-development, various water birds have returned to the West Lake, calling it home again after years of migration elsewhere.From the lake bank, we see skateboarders and trick cyclists showing off together with people flying kites and kicking shuttlecocks on the plaza nearby.Although they compose a picture quite distinct from traditional Chinese paintings, this picture conveys a modern sense of harmony in this era of globalization.Ladies and gentlemen, to conclude, I would like to quote from British philosopher Bertrand Russell.In contrasting Chinese and Western civilizations, he observed: “The distinctive merit of western civilization is the scientific method;the distinctive merit of the Chinese is a just conception of the ends of life.It is these two that one must hope to see gradually uniting.” As we see the tremendous progress China has been making drawing on experience abroad, we may also expect the Chinese traditional value of harmony to enrich the world.I look forward to the time when Russell's prophecy comes true.Thank you very much.第十屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍——夏鵬

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 第七屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍——孫寧

In some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.Are they justified then, in criticizing the globalizing world? Instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.Globalization, they argue, should be about an earnest interest in every other nation's economic health.We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity.This has become a reality.Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favorable policy.They are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market place and a devastating presence to local businesses.For China, still more challenges exist.How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all.Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoying respect in the international community.But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues.And, there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way.And this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.Thank you.英語(yǔ)演講稿范文：Crossing the Sea 穿越海洋[雙

專家點(diǎn)評(píng):引用文學(xué)大師的詩(shī)句作為開(kāi)場(chǎng)白，與結(jié)束語(yǔ)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(zhǎng)，是篇優(yōu)秀的演講。

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 this 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 cow horn-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 people 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 gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as 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 influence 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 render sit 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 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(guó)詩(shī)人羅得雅德·吉卜林曾寫過(guò)一首詩(shī)，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(shī)，我很震驚——過(guò)去兩個(gè)民族何以如此疏離、彼此陌生?當(dāng)然今日的社會(huì)呈現(xiàn)出完全不同的情景

:那些過(guò)去吃米飯的人們也開(kāi)始喜歡吃魚(yú)和薯?xiàng)l。的確如此，就拿中國(guó)來(lái)說(shuō)，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(duì)于年輕人對(duì)搖滾樂(lè)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(guò)是我們當(dāng)今社會(huì)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(kāi)始了微妙

而又有重大意義的重建，大家只要看看周圍就會(huì)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(zhēng)取任

何工作機(jī)會(huì)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(lái)，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(wèn)今天參加

演講比賽的諸位，誰(shuí)不是帶著志在一搏的心情來(lái)到這里?誰(shuí)不是鐵下心來(lái)贏得這場(chǎng)比賽以實(shí)現(xiàn)自我?如今年輕人毫無(wú)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?cè)缫焉钤谖鞣轿幕膹?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(guó)。

以美國(guó)為例，20世紀(jì)80年代，面對(duì)來(lái)自日本的強(qiáng)大競(jìng)爭(zhēng)壓力，許多美國(guó)公司如福特公司開(kāi)始采用對(duì)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(yáng)失調(diào)導(dǎo)致疾病最終得到西方社會(huì)的

承認(rèn)，而在過(guò)去，西方人還認(rèn)為這是無(wú)稽之談。

女士們，先生們，我們恰逢一個(gè)偉大的時(shí)代:全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化、信息革命使得世界各種文化聯(lián)系比以往更加緊密;

我們恰逢一個(gè)特殊的年代:無(wú)論是東方國(guó)家還是西方國(guó)家都意識(shí)到自身急需調(diào)整傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值。與此同時(shí)，我們正生活在發(fā)

展的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻:種族沖突，地區(qū)動(dòng)蕩正越來(lái)越威脅著整個(gè)人類的和平與幸福。如何對(duì)待這一時(shí)代，擁抱更加燦爛的未來(lái)，我們需要學(xué)會(huì)在越來(lái)越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。

親愛(ài)的同學(xué)們，我們掌握英語(yǔ)，得以了解西方文化，與此同時(shí)，又不失本民族的文化特征。

因此，促進(jìn)中國(guó)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(gè)美好的夢(mèng)想，我夢(mèng)想中國(guó)的年輕一代不僅僅在喝可口可樂(lè)、看好萊塢影片中成長(zhǎng)，而且還受益于我們的

父輩所從未夢(mèng)想過(guò)的多元文化所帶來(lái)的深遠(yuǎn)影響。

最后，再次以羅得雅德·吉卜林的詩(shī)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(huì)再把我們

看做僅僅是他們。

謝謝。

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 influence 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 46 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 render sit 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 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.47
