第一篇：名校出名人辯論稿

下定義：名校：具有較高的社會地位和雄厚的教學(xué)資源的學(xué)校。名人：在社會中，對社會有一定貢獻(xiàn)且備受景仰的人物。

名人出(造就)名校，名校出（培育）名人

學(xué)校名校 人名人

找角度：

價值型辯題

定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：

名校有強(qiáng)大的師資團(tuán)隊出更容易名人 名校獨有的校園文化更能出名人

名校的氛圍更有力學(xué)術(shù)傳播與交流，更能孕育名人

劃戰(zhàn)場：

我方：名校一些獨有的師資力量，文化等出名人

對方：打毛澤東等等所在的不是名校，因名人而出名的例子

建邏輯：

因為有名校的獨有東西才創(chuàng)就獨有的名人【名校更重要】

升價值：

名校出名人的例子：

新一屆中央領(lǐng)導(dǎo)成員的學(xué)歷明顯提高，畢業(yè)于名校的也不少，其中清華大學(xué)無可爭議地排在第一名,共有三人曾在這所一流名校中學(xué)習(xí)生活過。北京大學(xué)、復(fù)旦大學(xué)、哈爾濱軍事工程學(xué)院、吉林大學(xué)分別出了兩個中央領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。

1、清化大學(xué)3人

胡錦濤 清華大學(xué)水利工程系河川樞紐電站專業(yè)畢業(yè) 吳邦國 清華大學(xué)無線電電子學(xué)系電真空器件專業(yè)畢業(yè)

習(xí)近平清華大學(xué)人文社會學(xué)院馬克思主義理論與思想政治教育專業(yè)畢業(yè)

2、北京大學(xué)2人

李克強(qiáng) 北京大學(xué)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)院經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)專業(yè)畢業(yè)

*** 北京大學(xué)歷史系世界史專業(yè)本科學(xué)習(xí)

3、復(fù)旦大學(xué)2人

李源潮 復(fù)旦大學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)系數(shù)學(xué)專業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)

王滬寧 復(fù)旦大學(xué)國際政治系國際政治專業(yè)畢業(yè)

4、哈爾濱軍事工程學(xué)院2人

徐才厚 哈爾濱軍事工程學(xué)院電子工程系畢業(yè)

俞正聲 哈爾濱軍事工程學(xué)院導(dǎo)彈工程系彈道式導(dǎo)彈自動控制專業(yè)畢業(yè)

5、吉林大學(xué)

劉延?xùn)| 吉林大學(xué)行政學(xué)院政治學(xué)理論專業(yè)畢業(yè)

王 剛 吉林大學(xué)哲學(xué)系哲學(xué)專業(yè)

很適合陳辭：

人辦名校，名校育名人，中國近現(xiàn)代高等教育，以名人因名校為基建起，人因校存，一所所名校即是一座座矗立千年的豐碑，銘記著中華文明轉(zhuǎn)型時期教育家們的種種開創(chuàng)性探索。

“人”與“?！毕嗳跒橐粋€整體，既見人又見校；體現(xiàn)了教育思想與教育實踐的統(tǒng)一，是高等教育個性與共性的結(jié)合。人是校文化的繼承者，名人的獨有文化而出獨有人才。優(yōu)秀的師資力量跟是讓這些繼承者愈加優(yōu)秀。

就是通常人們所說的特點、特色——這些才是創(chuàng)新的結(jié)晶。如果高校“千校一面”，那有什么創(chuàng)新性可言呢?當(dāng)然，“名?！钡奶厣⒎且怀幌λ苄纬?，而是在歲月滄桑的歷程中由教育家們、教職工們和莘莘學(xué)子共同創(chuàng)造的。教育家中最有創(chuàng)造性的人物就是我們所說的“名人”。

第三篇：順境出人才-辯論素材

好風(fēng)憑借力，助我上青云——順境出人才

導(dǎo)入（一辯）：

老師（評委）好、同學(xué)們好——這雖然是客套話，但也是場面話，必須要講Di?? 環(huán)境與成才有著密切的關(guān)系，這是無庸置疑的。沒有起碼的環(huán)境條件，根本不可能出人才。這是唯物主義的觀點。看不到這點，就違背了唯物主義。

良好的環(huán)境，即所謂“順境”，有著成才所需要的各種條件，有利于一個人的進(jìn)步和成長，利于造就人才。反之，惡劣的環(huán)境，即所謂“逆境”，處處限制乃至扼殺人們在學(xué)習(xí)與事業(yè)上的努力，就不利于一個人的進(jìn)步和成長，有時甚至可以把人毀滅。

生處順境，會讓人的成長有更多有利資源，會讓你有更好的選擇，更好的路途，更好的去處，更能讓成長縮短周期，少走彎路。順境不僅能為人才成長插上一雙騰飛的翅膀，還能起到錦上添花的效果。

這樣的事例不勝枚舉——古有“孟母三遷”，為孟子尋求更好的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境，從而造就孟子的學(xué)富五車。有“一門父子三詞客”，蘇軾、蘇轍成才得益于良好的物質(zhì)和文化環(huán)境。今有哈佛女孩劉亦婷、鳳凰衛(wèi)視主持人曾子墨，成才都得益于良好的家庭環(huán)境。

如果說這些都只是個案，那我們也可以看看當(dāng)年的文化大革命，十年浩劫，動蕩不安，民不聊生；而改革開放三十年來，國泰民安，欣欣向榮，人才輩出。我們也可看看當(dāng)今的教育，各所學(xué)校不遺余力的謀求更好的辦學(xué)條件，創(chuàng)造更好的學(xué)習(xí)氛圍，目的就是為了給學(xué)生一個學(xué)習(xí)上的順境，從而培育更多更優(yōu)秀的人才。

古羅馬哲學(xué)家塞涅卡說：“一帆風(fēng)順固然令人羨慕，但逆水行舟則更令人欽佩。”羨慕，說明在他看來，順境優(yōu)于逆境；欽佩，則說明逆境出人才之不易，也即順境比逆境更能出人才。

所以，我方的觀點是：順境比逆境更容易出人才。

可以運(yùn)用的論據(jù)（二辯、三辯）：

古代封建社會制度（逆境）扼殺著學(xué)習(xí)欲望。從人類經(jīng)歷的五種社會形態(tài)看，封建制度和神權(quán)統(tǒng)治最不利于人才成長，對人才摧殘最嚴(yán)重。在歐洲中世紀(jì)，軍隊人事制度以封建門第為核心，軍官身份是少數(shù)貴族的世襲特權(quán)，這就堵塞了大量平民及其子弟成為軍官并展現(xiàn)和發(fā)揮其軍事才能的渠道。我國隋唐后實行．的科舉制，實際上是限制人們發(fā)揮才能的一個圈套，廣大勞動者因生活所迫失去了學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會，根本不可能參加科舉走人仕途。明清時期以八股文取士，應(yīng)考者只能依葫蘆畫瓢，替古人立言，不得有獨立之思想，科舉制成為束縛人們成才的一道枷鎖。這種制度性逆境不知埋沒了多少人才。（但是這個例子輕易不要用！）

個別逆境成才事例的表面現(xiàn)象，都是社會為了教育人在困難的環(huán)境中不要喪失追求理想的信心而所做的事例——即使是在順境中，一個有著遠(yuǎn)大理想并且為之不懈奮斗得人也會成才——比身處逆境更容易成才！不要把結(jié)論作為你的依據(jù)。（注意，這個論據(jù)也輕易不要用——這是一個十分矛盾的論據(jù)?。?/p>

困難（困難造就人才，人生道路上不可能沒有困難——逆境出人才常用論據(jù)）不是真正意義上的逆境（請運(yùn)用唯物辯證法矛盾的觀點分析），食不裹腹、衣不遮體才是最典型的逆境呀！某些人辯論的時候特別偏愛逆境，但是人的本性是避難趨易，這如何能自圓其說呢？從種種方面來統(tǒng)計（據(jù)有關(guān)報紙統(tǒng)計，世界上順境出的人才占百分之六十，而逆境出的人才只占百分之四十），逆境出人才的機(jī)率遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于順境出人才，今天，鄧小平同志為我們創(chuàng)造

了這樣好的順境，據(jù)有關(guān)報紙統(tǒng)計，世界上順境出的人才占百分之六十，而逆境出的人才只占百分之四十，使得人才輩出，不正說明了順境更容易出人才嗎？

客觀現(xiàn)實表明還是順境出人才，不然為什么黨和政府要努力為我國青少年創(chuàng)造好的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境？為什么父母老師還要竭盡全力為我們創(chuàng)造好的學(xué)習(xí)氛圍？為什么不本著逆境出人才的原則讓我們自己去奮斗呢？逆境出人才只是一種激勵人的理想觀點，而非現(xiàn)實生活中隨處可見的客觀現(xiàn)實——鼓舞人心固然重要，但是它不能超越客觀現(xiàn)實。

一個人在有主動選擇權(quán)的情況下，主動放棄有利條件而選擇不利條件，顯然這和人類的基本行為規(guī)律是違背的。人都是趨利避害的，都是尋求更好的外部環(huán)境和條件的，現(xiàn)在對于一個各方面都一樣的人，自然是順境更有利于成長。好比兩輛汽車性能完全一樣，當(dāng)然是公路上跑的比小路上快。

小注：以上論據(jù)只可做參考，因為你永遠(yuǎn)都不知道對方的二辯、三辯會說啥。

順境出人才的具體事例（僅供我方二辯、三辯與與反方二辯、三辯互掐時引用）：

1、美國愛迪生12歲的時候，因為喜歡“鼓搗”科學(xué)小把戲，被校長誤認(rèn)為貪玩而開除學(xué)校。這使愛迪生幼小的心靈受到了很大的打擊。然而，她的母親最了解自己的兒子的興趣，她不認(rèn)為兒子的興許是不務(wù)正業(yè)。他為兒子創(chuàng)立了良好的條件，給愛迪生開辟了實驗室，支持孩子的小科學(xué)實驗，從而使愛迪生的發(fā)明智力得到了充分的發(fā)展，終于發(fā)明了白執(zhí)電燈泡，電報機(jī)，留聲機(jī)等，并發(fā)現(xiàn)了熱電子發(fā)射現(xiàn)象。

2、阿姆斯特朗是第一位登陸月球的第一人。小時候，他是一個善于幻想的孩子，但他的母親從來不打擊他的積極性，一次，他的媽媽在廚房洗碗，他在后院蹦蹦跳跳的玩耍，母親問他：“你在干嗎？”他說：“我要跳到月球上去?！彼膵寢屄牶鬀]有向其他孩子的家長那樣潑孩子冷水，也沒有罵他，或者說：“不要淘氣，快停下來。”之類的話。而是說：“好！不要忘記回來哦！”在這樣的輕松的環(huán)境下，他終于登陸了月球?？梢姾玫囊龑?dǎo)方式更有利于他們發(fā)展。

3、成長和出人才的本質(zhì)是一樣的，順境和逆境也都是一個生命歷程，最重要的是人是否勤奮，是否對學(xué)習(xí)有興趣。我國古代詩人杜牧就是一個實例。杜牧，出生在一個豪門世家，他從小便受到了良好的教育，在年輕的時候，事業(yè)上便有了很大的成就。他與李商隱被后人稱作“小李杜”。還有文天祥、周恩來、魯迅等人，這不是順境也能出人才的最好證明嗎？

4、轟動一時的張海迪，可以說他的成功筑足于逆境中，但是，我們站在順境的角度來看，沒有同志們的幫助鼓勵，她有勇氣活下來嗎？如果沒有組織上的關(guān)懷，照顧，她能戰(zhàn)勝病魔嗎？如果沒有黨的哺育指導(dǎo)，她又能做出如此輝煌的成就嗎？

5、要說那些在逆境中成長成才的偉人，實際上從另一個角度去觀察，能發(fā)現(xiàn)，其實人們往往忽略了順境，而是注重那個人比其它人多付出的辛酸。司馬遷還是漢朝的一個史官，他擁有察看管理漢朝皇家書館的權(quán)利，試問如果他沒有那樣的環(huán)境，它怎樣寫出真實反映歷史的《史記》，憑空捏造？曹雪芹，祖父曾是江浙織造，曾經(jīng)家財萬貫、閱書千卷。所以才可以在書中營造出賈府那豪華奢侈的場面。

6、從前那么遙遠(yuǎn)，我們來說說眼前的事例。越來越多人加入了追星族，那么，影星章子怡大家一定不陌生，她從小喜愛唱歌、演戲，第一次歌唱就得獎，第一次舞蹈就出名，這樣的一帆風(fēng)順還有人能否認(rèn)嗎？事實證明她的成功中多數(shù)是順境而非逆境。

7、在哈佛留學(xué)的順境中獲得成功又在文革的逆境中飽嘗辛酸的立信之父潘序倫老先生正是深諳此道才創(chuàng)立立信。（立信，即上海立信會計學(xué)院——Shanghai Lixin University of

Commerce(SLUC)，其前身為立信會計專科學(xué)校，“中國現(xiàn)代會計之父”、教育家潘序倫于1928年創(chuàng)立。）

8、哈佛女孩劉亦婷——介個太有名了，她的母親和繼父不是還出了本書么，教給全天下父母，怎么給自己孩子制造順境。

9、李澤楷童鞋——香港第一巨富李嘉誠次子，1989年從美國回香港和黃任職，僅十年時間，便在事業(yè)上創(chuàng)造了輝煌，成為世人矚目，有著“小超人”美名的香港第二大富商。李嘉誠為了培養(yǎng)他沒少花功夫，李澤楷自由就是在超一流的優(yōu)越環(huán)境中成長的。

10、海倫·凱勒，之所以舉這個例子，絕對不是因為我是叛徒，海倫在一開始因為失聰失明而做出種種令人痛心疾首之事——她甚至傷害過自己的親妹妹，溫柔的沙利文老師（專業(yè)的盲聾兒童輔導(dǎo)老師）予以她耐心的教誨并且聯(lián)合海倫的家人全力為海倫提供良好的學(xué)習(xí)生活環(huán)境，才慢慢改變了海倫的暴虐性格，并且熱愛學(xué)習(xí)（如果一直任由海倫在所謂“逆境”下成長??）

11、弘一法師李叔同，中國話劇的開拓者之一，在音樂、書法、繪畫和戲劇方面，都頗有造詣。從日本留學(xué)歸國后，擔(dān)任過教師、編輯之職，后剃度為僧，法名演音，號弘一。父李筱樓（字小樓），道光甲辰(1884)進(jìn)士，官吏部尚書，曾經(jīng)業(yè)鹽商，后從事銀行業(yè)。母親姓王，為李筱樓側(cè)室，能詩文。李叔同 5歲喪父，在母親的扶養(yǎng)下成長。1901年入南洋公學(xué)，受業(yè)蔡元培。1905年東渡日本留學(xué)，在東京美術(shù)學(xué)校攻油畫，同時學(xué)習(xí)音樂——良好的家庭教育造就了一代風(fēng)流名士。

12、杜牧，出生在一個豪門世家，他從小便受到了良好的教育，在年輕的時候，事業(yè)上便有了很大的成就。他與李商隱被后人稱作“小李杜”。

13、蘇軾（蘇轍和蘇小妹亦可），宋之大文豪，滿腹經(jīng)綸，詩詞書畫，樣樣精通，堪稱時之第一大才子，其父就是同為唐宋八大家之一的蘇洵，位居廟堂要津。典型的順境成才者。

14、宋徽宗（李后主也可以），精于書畫，造詣甚高，獨創(chuàng)瘦金體，享譽(yù)千年，令人五體投地。問其家境，堂堂天子家。（這個例子有點矛盾，因為很多人認(rèn)為這倆人是昏君，不算人才，可是我認(rèn)為其藝術(shù)造詣確實彪炳千古，而這與二人身為帝家子有很深的關(guān)系——他們要不是生在皇家，連這點造詣都沒有）。

15、華盛頓（克林頓，艾森豪威爾、布什父子），可以稱之為“美國總統(tǒng)系列”，家里都老鼻子有錢，生活優(yōu)越。

16、比爾·蓋茨，這是一個常常拿來論證“逆境出人才”的人物，看看，比爾沒念玩書就去做生意還賺了N多money惹了多大的事兒啊，但是事實上，比爾·蓋茨自幼接受了良好的家庭教育，大學(xué)雖未畢業(yè)，但是在哈佛的時候，蓋茨為第一臺微型計算機(jī)–MITS Altair開發(fā)了BASIC編程語言的一個版本，另外，退學(xué)研究計算機(jī)編程，蓋茨是得到家庭的支持的——沒有阻力，沒有阻力，沒有阻力。

17、阿基米德，他出生于貴族，與敘拉古的赫農(nóng)王（King Hieron）有親戚關(guān)系，家庭十分富有。阿基米德的父親是天文學(xué)家兼數(shù)學(xué)家，學(xué)識淵博，為人謙遜。阿基米德受家庭的影響，從小就對數(shù)學(xué)、天文學(xué)特別是古希臘的幾何學(xué)產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣。當(dāng)他剛滿十一歲時，借助與王室的關(guān)系，被送到埃及的亞歷山大里亞城去學(xué)習(xí)（亞歷山大位于尼羅河口，是當(dāng)時文化貿(mào)易的中心之一）。這里有雄偉的博物館、圖書館，而且人才薈萃，被世人譽(yù)為“智慧之都”。阿基米德在這里學(xué)習(xí)和生活了許多年，曾跟很多學(xué)者密切交往。他兼收并蓄了東方和古希臘的優(yōu)秀文化遺產(chǎn)，在其后的科學(xué)生涯中作出了重大的貢獻(xiàn)。

總結(jié)陳詞（四辯）：

首先（這一點非常重要）——謝謝主席（評委）以及各位同學(xué)的精彩發(fā)言，下面由我來做一下總結(jié)陳詞：

對方本場一直在把英雄（社會上許許多多著名的人物也可以列入“英雄”之列）等同于人才（這是很多持有“逆境出人才”觀點的人都會有的），而在我方看來，這個出發(fā)點就是錯誤的。難道你能說那些在自身崗位上默默無聞、敬職敬業(yè)的人就都不是人才了嗎？其次，今天我們雙方討論的辯題是順、逆境哪個更容易造就人才，而剛剛對方辯友所舉事例中人無一不是在飽經(jīng)風(fēng)霜之后才有所作為的，那么我想請問飽經(jīng)風(fēng)霜雨雪還能叫容易嗎？——（原諒我，找素材的時候，我實在是不知道論題是：順境出人才，還是順境容易出人才）。

此外，我方認(rèn)為良好的境遇將為人成材提高更多、更好的機(jī)遇。倘若按照對方的觀點，文化大革命百業(yè)廢止算是逆境吧，三年自然災(zāi)害萬物凋敝算是逆境吧？為什么在那期間沒有人才大量涌現(xiàn)，為什么在那期間沒有祖國騰飛震驚世界？而當(dāng)我們改革開放的總設(shè)計師鄧小平同志打開國門，為人才的發(fā)展提供了更為順利的條件，立刻就有了人才輩出，民族振興，祖國富強(qiáng)？深圳漁村的奇跡，浦西港口的繁華，順境給了人才表演的舞臺，讓更多的有志之士為民族的崛起而奮斗，難道對方連這么淺顯的道理都不懂么？

讓我們再環(huán)顧周遭，一個不爭的事實是，身處暴力家庭中的兒童，其自卑心理的產(chǎn)生率是60%，而正常家庭中這個比例還不到10%，對方辯友認(rèn)為逆境有利于激發(fā)人的潛能。那么請問，當(dāng)我們看到處于戰(zhàn)亂和饑荒中的災(zāi)民，是否就應(yīng)該拍手稱快，大呼“這樣的環(huán)境才能造就人才”？當(dāng)看到生活于順境之人，又是否會刻意為其制造坎坷？不，當(dāng)然不會！相反的，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)伸出援手幫助有身處困境的人，因為我們的幫助會使他們轉(zhuǎn)逆為順，從而有了成長的條件，有了成材的動力。

鯤鵬馭風(fēng)扶搖直上，佛祖憑勢瞬間菩提。最后，我愿用汪國真先生的一句名言來再次宣告我方立場：“逆境是用來磨練意志，順境才是用來發(fā)展事業(yè)?！钡乔罢吆蠊粗笳卟拍苷嬲炀腿瞬?。

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA'S SCHOOLCHILDREN

Wakefield High School Arlington, Virginia

THE PRESIDENT:

Hello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today?(Applause.)How about Tim Spicer?(Applause.)I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)

大家好！謝謝你們。謝謝你們。謝謝你們大家。好，大家請就坐。你們今天都好嗎？（掌聲）蒂姆?斯派塞（Tim Spicer）好嗎？（掌聲）我現(xiàn)在與弗吉尼亞州阿靈頓郡韋克菲爾德高中的學(xué)生們在一起。美國各地從小學(xué)預(yù)備班到中學(xué)12年級的學(xué)生正在收聽收看。我很高興大家今天都能參與。我還要感謝韋克菲爾德高中出色的組織安排。請為你們自己熱烈鼓掌。（掌聲）

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.我知道，今天是你們很多人開學(xué)的日子。對于進(jìn)入小學(xué)預(yù)備班、初中或高中的學(xué)生，今天是你們來到新學(xué)校的第一天，心里可能有點緊張，這是可以理解的。我能想象有些畢業(yè)班學(xué)生現(xiàn)在感覺很不錯——（掌聲）——還有一年就畢業(yè)了。不論在哪個年級，你們有些人可能希望暑假更長一點，今天早上還能多睡一小會兒。

I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.我了解這種感覺。我小時候，我們家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亞住了幾年。我媽媽沒有錢送我上其他美國孩子上的學(xué)校，但她認(rèn)為必須讓我接受美式教育。因此，她決定從周一到周五自己給我補(bǔ)課。不過她還要上班，所以只能在清晨四點半給我上課。

Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)

你們可以想見，我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次，我趴在餐桌上就睡著了。但每當(dāng)我抱怨的時候，我媽媽都會那樣地看我一眼，然后說：“小子，這對我也并不輕松。（笑聲）

”

So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.我知道你們有些人還在適應(yīng)開學(xué)后的生活。但我今天來到這里是因為有重要的事情要和你們說。我來這里是要和你們談?wù)勀銈兊慕逃龁栴}，以及在這個新學(xué)年對你們所有人的期望。

Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education.And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot.我做過很多次有關(guān)教育問題的演講。我多次談到過責(zé)任問題。

I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.我談到過教師激勵學(xué)生并督促他們學(xué)習(xí)的責(zé)任。

I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.我談到過家長的責(zé)任，要確保你們走正路，完成家庭作業(yè)，不要整天坐在電視前或玩Xbox游戲。

I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working, where students aren’t getting the opportunities that they deserve.我多次談到過政府的責(zé)任，要制定高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，支持教師和校長的工作，徹底改善不能為學(xué)生提供應(yīng)有機(jī)會的、教育質(zhì)量差的學(xué)校。

But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.然而，即使我們擁有最敬業(yè)的教師，最盡力的家長和全世界最好的學(xué)?！绻銈兇蠹也宦男心銈兊呢?zé)任，不到校上課，不專心聽講，不聽家長、祖父祖母和其他大人的話，不付出取得成功所必須的勤奮努力，那么這一切都毫無用處，都無關(guān)緊要。這就是我今天講話的重點：你們每個人對自己的教育應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。

I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you’re good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That’s the opportunity an education can provide.我首先要講講你們對自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。你們每個人都有自己的長處。你們每個人都能做出自己的貢獻(xiàn)。你們對自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任是發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的能力所在。而教育能夠提供這樣的機(jī)會。

Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that’s assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.你或許能成為一名出色的作家——甚至可能寫書或在報紙上發(fā)表文章——但你可能要在完成那篇英文課的作文后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。你或許能成為一名創(chuàng)新者或發(fā)明家——甚至可能設(shè)計出新一代iPhone或研制出新型藥物或疫苗——但你可能要在完成科學(xué)課的實驗后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。你或許能成為一名市長或參議員或最高法院的大法官——但你可能要在參加學(xué)生會的工作或辯論隊后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。

And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse

這些都沒關(guān)系。世界上最成功的人士中有一些是遭遇失敗最多的人。作者J?K?羅琳（J.K.Rowling）所寫的系列小說《哈利?波特》（Harry Potter）第一部在獲得出版之前被退稿12次。邁克爾?喬丹（Michael Jordan）曾被他的高中籃球隊除名。在喬丹的籃球生涯中，他輸過數(shù)百場比賽，有成千上萬個球沒有投中。但他曾說過：“在我的一生中，我失敗了一次又一次、一次又一次。這就是我成功的原因。”

These people succeeded because they understood that you can’t let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.這些人士獲得成功，因為他們懂得：你不能讓失敗來限制你，而必須讓失敗來開導(dǎo)你。你必須讓失敗向你展示下次如何以不同的方式去做這件事情。因此，如果你遇到麻煩，那并不表示你是麻煩的制造者，而意味著你需要更加努力去把它做對。如果你有一門課分?jǐn)?shù)低，那不表示你比別人笨，而只表示你需要花更多的時間學(xué)習(xí)。

No one’s born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song.You’ve got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.沒有一個人天生擅長做各種事情。你通過勤奮而變得擅長于各種事情。第一次從事新的體育項目時，你不可能是一位主力隊員。第一次唱一首歌曲時，你不可能唱準(zhǔn)每個音。你必須練習(xí)。同樣的道理適用于你的學(xué)業(yè)。你可能要把一道數(shù)學(xué)題做幾次才把它做對。你可能要把一些材料閱讀幾遍才能理解。在交出一篇優(yōu)美的作文之前，你肯定需要打幾遍草稿。

Don’t be afraid to ask questions.Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.不要害怕提問。不要在需要幫助時害怕請求別人幫助。我天天請求別人的幫助。請求幫助不是軟弱的表現(xiàn)，它是力量的標(biāo)志，因為它表明你有勇氣承認(rèn)自己對某些事情不懂，這樣做會使你學(xué)到新的東西。因此，請確定一位你信任的成年人，例如家長、祖父母或老師、教練或輔導(dǎo)員，請他們幫助你遵循既定計劃實現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)。

And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don’t ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.即使當(dāng)你苦苦掙扎、灰心喪氣、感到其他人對你不抱希望時，也不要對你自己喪失信心，因為當(dāng)你自暴自棄時，你也拋棄了自己的國家。

The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough.It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.書寫美國歷史的不是在困難時刻退縮的人，而是堅持不懈、加倍努力的人，他們對國家的愛促使他們?nèi)σ愿啊?/p>

It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.書寫美國歷史的是250年前坐在你們的位置上的學(xué)生，他們后來進(jìn)行了獨立戰(zhàn)爭并創(chuàng)建了這個國家。還有75年前坐在你們的位置上的年輕人和學(xué)生，他們走出了大蕭條并打贏了一場世界大戰(zhàn)；他們?yōu)槊駲?quán)而奮斗并把宇航員送上了月球。至于20年前坐在你們的位置上的學(xué)生，他們創(chuàng)辦了谷歌（Google）、嘰喳網(wǎng)（Twitter）和臉譜網(wǎng)（Facebook），改變了我們交流溝通的方式。

So today, I want to ask all of you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country? 而今天，我要問問你們大家，你們將做出什么貢獻(xiàn)？你們將解決什么問題？你們將有什么發(fā)現(xiàn)？20年、50年或100年后來到這里講話的總統(tǒng)將會怎樣評價你們大家為這個國家所做的一切？

Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you’ve got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don’t let us down.Don’t let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don’t let yourself down.Make us all proud.你們的家人、你們的老師和我正在竭盡全力保證你們接受必要的教育，以便回答上述問題。我正在努力工作，以便你們的教室得到修繕，你們能夠得到學(xué)習(xí)所需的課本、設(shè)備和電腦。但你們也必須盡自己的努力。因此，我希望你們大家從今年起認(rèn)真對待這個問題。我希望你們盡最大努力做好每一件事。我希望你們每個人都有出色的表現(xiàn)。不要讓我們失望。不要讓你們的家人或你們的國家失望。而最重要的是，不要辜負(fù)你們自己，而要讓我們都能[為你們]感到驕傲。

Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.(Applause.)非常感謝你們大家。愿主保佑你們。愿主保佑美國。謝謝你們。（掌聲）

名人名校勵志英語演講稿：Dare to Compete, Dare to Care 敢于競爭，勇于關(guān)愛---美國國務(wù)卿希拉里·克林頓耶魯大學(xué)演講

Dare to compete.Dare to care.Dare to dream.Dare to love.Practice the art of making possible.And no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.要敢于競爭，敢于關(guān)愛，敢于憧憬，大膽去愛！要努力創(chuàng)造奇跡！無論發(fā)生什么，即使有人在你背后大聲喊叫，也要勇往直前。

-----

It is such an honor and pleasure for me to be back at Yale, especially on the occasion of the 300th anniversary.I have had so many memories of my time here, and as Nick was speaking I thought about how I ended up at Yale Law School.And it tells a little bit about how much progress we’ve made.What I think most about when I think of Yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the superb legal education that I received.It was at Yale that I began work that has been at the core of what I have cared about ever since.I began working with New Haven legal services representing children.And I studied child development, abuse and neglect at the Yale New Haven Hospital and the Child Study Center.I was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with Marian Wright Edelman at the Children’s Defense Fund, where I went to work after I graduated.Those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children, particularly the most vulnerable.Now, looking back, there is no way that I could have predicted what path my life would have taken.I didn’t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, I think I’ll graduate and then I’ll go to work at the Children’s Defense Fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and Nixon retired or resigns, I’ll go to Arkansas.I didn’t think like that.I was taking each day at a time.But, I’ve been very fortunate because I’ve always had an idea in my mind about what I thought was important and what gave my life meaning and purpose.A set of values and beliefs that have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to illuminate my own true desires, despite that others say about what l should care about and believe in.A passion to succeed at what l thought was important and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light.Because l have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the most blessed of nations that has ever existed on the face of earth, that every child deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her God-given potential.But you know that belief and conviction-it may make for a personal mission statement, but standing alone, not translated into action, it means very little to anyone else, particularly to those for whom you have those concerns.When I was thinking about running for the United States Senate-which was such an enormous decision to make, one I never could have dreamed that I would have been making when I was here on campus-I visited a school in New York City and I met a young woman, who was a star athlete.I was there because of Billy Jean King promoting an HBO special about women in sports called “Dare to compete.” It was about Title IX and how we finally, thanks to government action, provided opportunities to girls and women in sports.And although I played not very well at intramural sports, I have always been a strong supporter of women in sports.And I was introduced by this young woman, and as I went to shake her hand she obviously had been reading the newspapers about people saying I should or shouldn’t run for the Senate.And I was congratulating her on the speech she had just made and she held onto my hand and she said, “Dare to compete, Mrs.Clinton.Dare to compete.”

I took that to heart because it is hard to compete sometimes, especially in public ways, when your failures are there for everyone to see and you don’t know what is going to happen from one day to the next.And yet so much of life, whether we like to accept it or not, is competing with ourselves to be the best we can be, being involved in classes or professions or just life, where we know we are competing with others.I took her advice and I did compete because I chose to do so.And the biggest choices that you’ll face in your life will be yours alone to make.I’m sure you’ll receive good advice.You’re got a great education to go back and reflect about what is right for you, but you eventually will have to choose and I hope that you will dare to compete.And by that I don’t mean the kind of cutthroat competition that is too often characterized by what is driving America today.I mean the small voice inside you that says to you, you can do it, you can take this risk, you can take this next step.And it doesn’t mean that once having made that choice you will always succeed.In fact, you won’t.There are setbacks and you will experience difficult disappointments.You will be slowed down and sometimes the breath will just be knocked out of you.But if you carry with you the values and beliefs that you can make a difference in your own life, first and foremost, and then in the lives of others.You can get back up, you can keep going.But it is also important, as I have found, not to take yourself too seriously, because after all, every one of us here today, none of us is deserving of full credit.I think every day of the blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own.I chose neither my family nor my country, but they as much as anything I’ve ever done, determined my course.You compare my or your circumstances with those of the majority of people who’ve ever lived or who are living right now, they too often are born knowing too well what their futures will be.They lack the freedom to choose their life’s path.They’re imprisoned by circumstances of poverty and ignorance, bigotry, disease, hunger, oppression and war.So, dare to compete, yes, but maybe even more difficult, dare to care.Dare to care about people who need our help to succeed and fulfill their own lives.There are so many out there and sometimes all it takes is the simplest of gestures or helping hands and many of you understand that already.I know that the numbers of graduates in the last 20 years have worked in community organizations, have tutored, have committed themselves to religious activities.You have been there trying to serve because you have believed both that it was the right thing to do and because it gave something back to you.You have dared to care.Well, dare to care to fight for equal justice for all, for equal pay for women, against hate crimes and bigotry.Dare to care about public schools without qualified teachers or adequate resources.Dare to care about protecting our environment.Dare to care about the 10 million children in our country who lack health insurance.Dare to care about the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail.The seven million people who suffer from HIV/AIDS.And thank you for caring enough to demand that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this world with HIV/AIDS, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further.And I’ll also add, dare enough to care about our political process.You know, as I go and speak with students I’m impressed so much, not only in formal settings, on campuses, but with my daughter and her friends, about how much you care, about how willing you are to volunteer and serve.You may have missed the last wave of the dot.com revolution, but you’ve understood that the dot.community revolution is there for you every single day.And you’ve been willing to be part of remarking lives in our community.And yet, there is a real resistance, a turning away from the political process.I hope that some of you will be public servants and will even run for office yourself, not to win a position to make and impression on your friends at your 20th reunion, but because you understand how important it is for each of us as citizens to make a commitment to our democracy.Your generation, the first one born after the social upheavals of the 60’s and 70’s, in the midst of the technological advances of the 80’s and 90’s, are inheriting an economy, a society and a government that has yet to understand fully, or even come to grips with, our rapidly changing world.And so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics.Dare to help make, not just a difference in politics, but create a different politics.Some have called you the generation of choice.You’ve been raised with multiple choice tests, multiple channels, multiple websites and multiple lifestyles.You’ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined, created or available to people in prior generations.You’ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible.And I think as I look at all the surveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.The social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive story: drug use and cheating and arrests being down, been pregnancy and suicides, drunk driving deaths being down.Community service and religious involvement being up.But if you look at the area of voting among 18 to 29 year olds, the numbers tell a far more troubling tale.Many of you I know believe that service and community volunteerism is a better way of solving the issues facing our country than political engagement, because you believe-choose one of the following multiples or choose them all-government either can’t understand or won’t make the right choices because of political pressures, inefficiency, incompetence or big money influence.Well, I admit there is enough truth in that critique to justify feeling disconnected and alienated.But at bottom, that’s a personal cop-out and a national peril.Political conditions maximize the conditions for individual opportunity and responsibility as well as community.Americorps and the Peace Corps exist because of political decisions.Our air, water, land and food will be clean and safe because of political choices.Our ability to cure disease or log onto the Internet have been advanced because of politically determined investments.Ethnic cleansing in Kosovo ended because of political leadership.Your parents and grandparents traveled here by means of government built and subsidized transportation systems.Many used GI Bills or government loans, as I did, to attend college.Now, I could, as you might guess, go on and on, but the point is to remind us all that government is us and each generation has to stake its claim.And, as stakeholders, you will have to decide whether or not to make the choice to participate.It is hard and it is, bringing change in a democracy, particularly now.There’s so much about our modern times that conspire to lower our sights, to weaken our vision-as individuals and communities and even nations.It is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about;rather it’s a silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day, in our popular culture and in our prodigious consumerism.But as many have said before and as Vaclav Havel has said to memorably, “It cannot suffice just to invent new machines, new regulations and new institutions.It is necessary to understand differently and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this Earth and of our deeds.” And I think we are called on to reject, in this time of blessings that we enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate our God-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world.During my campaign, when times were tough and days were long I used to think about the example of Harriet Tubman, a heroic New Yorker, a 19th century Moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds of slaves to freedom.She would say to those who she gathered up in the South where she kept going back year after year from the safety of Auburn, New York, that no matter what happens, they had to keep going.If they heard shouts behind them, they had to keep going.If they heard gunfire or dogs, they had to keep going to freedom.Well, those aren’t the risks we face.It is more the silence and apathy and indifference that dogs our heels.Thirty-two years ago, I spoke at my own graduation from Wellesley, where I did call on my fellow classmates to reject the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead to embrace the idea that the goal of education should be human liberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of our being the art of making possible.For after all, our fate is to be free.To choose competition over apathy, caring over indifference, vision over myopia, and love over hate.Just as this is a special time in your lives, it is for me as well because my daughter will be graduating in four weeks, graduating also from a wonderful place with a great education and beginning a new life.And as I think about all the parents and grandparents who are out there, I have a sense of what their feeling.Their hearts are leaping with joy, but it’s hard to keep tears in check because the presence of our children at a time and place such as this is really a fulfillment of our own American dreams.Well, I applaud you and all of your love, commitment and hard work, just as I applaud your daughters and sons for theirs.And I leave these graduates with the same message I hope to leave with my graduate.Dare to compete.Dare to care.Dare to dream.Dare to love.Practice the art of making possible.And no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.Thank you and God bless you all.
