第四篇：演講短文

Hello, everyone.Recently,the weather is getting hotter and hotter.we have entered summer.Today, let me introduce some healthy living tips in summer to you.I will give you my advice on eating, exercising and sleeping.First, let me tell you something about eating.We can eat more cool vegetables, such as: cucumber, tomato, celery, lettuce and so on.If you like eating fruits, I think watermelon is the best choice.We should also drink plenty of water.Our bodies are easy to lose moisture because of the high temperature in summer, so we are supposed to replenish moisture in time.What’s more, remember do not wait to drink water until you feel thirsty.As a matter of fact, when you feel thirsty, your body is already in the dry state.Moreover, we mustbear in mind that we should drink less before and after meals.When the weather is hot ,eating ice cream properly will play a certain role in cooling downour body temperature,but don’t eat too much.In contrast.I think green bean soup is a better choice.Then, even in summer we should choose some time to do sports.Movement should neither be too intense nor too long.You had better not drink cool water immediately after exercise, because it’s really bad for your stomach.At last, I will give you two suggestion about sleeping.Though many people feel very sleepy in summer, we ought to keep a normal sleep schedule.Seven hours is ok , because sleeping too long will cause a bad influence on our bodies.I think a appropriate nap is

necessary, and nap time is preferably about 1 hours.May you a good summer.That’s all.thank you.

Man’s dearest possession is life.It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past;so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.人生最寶貴的是生命。生命對(duì)于人來(lái)說(shuō)只有一次。一個(gè)人的生命應(yīng)該這樣度過(guò)：當(dāng)他回首往

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits.These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to , but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.幸福并不在于單純的占有金錢，幸福還在于取得成功后的喜悅，在于創(chuàng)造努力時(shí)的激情。務(wù)必不能再忘記勞動(dòng)帶來(lái)的喜悅和激勵(lì)，而去瘋狂追逐那轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的利潤(rùn)。如果這些黯淡的日子能使我們認(rèn)識(shí)到，我們真正的使命不是要?jiǎng)e人侍奉，而是要為自己和同胞們服務(wù)的話，那么，我們付出的代價(jià)是完全值得的。

三．

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-Oevident, that all men are created equal.I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.i have a dream today!When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children-black men and white men , jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “free at least ,free at last.Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.” 我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)：有一天，這個(gè)國(guó)家將站起來(lái)，并實(shí)現(xiàn)他的信條的真正含義：我們將捍衛(wèi)這些不言而喻的真理，即所有人生來(lái)平等。我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)：有一天在喬治亞洲紅色的山丘上，從前的奴隸的子孫們能和奴隸主的子孫們像兄弟一樣坐在同一張桌旁；我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)我的四個(gè)孩子有一天將生活在這樣一個(gè)國(guó)度，在那里，人們不以膚色，而是以品格來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)他們。當(dāng)自由的鐘聲響起的時(shí)候，當(dāng)我們讓它從每一個(gè)村莊，每一個(gè)州，每一個(gè)城市響起的時(shí)候，我們將能夠加速這一天的到來(lái)。那是，上帝所有的孩子，無(wú)論黑人白人還是猶太人，異教徒。天主教徒，還是新教徒，他們都能夠手挽手歌唱那古老的黑人圣歌：“終于自由了，終于自由了，感謝上帝，我們終于自由了！”

四．

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.We have before us an ordeal

of the most grievous kind.We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory.Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized, no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that British Empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope.I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, “Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.”

我能奉獻(xiàn)的唯有熱血、辛勞、淚水和汗水。我們所面臨的將是一場(chǎng)極為殘酷的考驗(yàn)，我們面臨的將是曠日持久的斗爭(zhēng)和苦難。你若問(wèn)我們的目標(biāo)是什么？我可以用一個(gè)詞來(lái)概括，那就是勝利。不惜一切代價(jià)去奪取勝利，不畏懼一切恐怖去奪取勝利，不論前路再長(zhǎng)再苦也要多去勝利，因?yàn)闆](méi)有勝利糾無(wú)法生存！我們必須意識(shí)到，沒(méi)有勝利就沒(méi)有大英帝國(guó)，沒(méi)有勝利就沒(méi)有大英帝國(guó)所象征的一切，沒(méi)有勝利就沒(méi)有多少世紀(jì)以來(lái)強(qiáng)烈的要求和沖動(dòng)：人類應(yīng)當(dāng)向自己的目標(biāo)邁進(jìn)。此刻，我的精神振奮，滿懷信心地承當(dāng)起自己的人物。我確信，只要我們大家聯(lián)合，我們的事業(yè)就不會(huì)挫敗。此時(shí)此刻千鈞一發(fā)之際，我覺(jué)得我有權(quán)要求各方面的支持。我要呼吁：“來(lái)吧，讓我們?nèi)翰吲Γ⒓邕~進(jìn)！”

Entitled： adj.有資格的五.My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of men.Finally whether you are citizens of America, or citizens of the world, ask of us here, the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.With a good conscience of our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own.--By John F.Kennedy

六、Let me express my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves, which is essential to victory and I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.In such a spirit on my part and on yours, we face our common difficulties.They concern, thank God, only material things.--By Franklin D.Roosevelt

譯文：

讓我來(lái)表明我堅(jiān)定的信念：我們不得不害怕的其實(shí)就是害怕本身--一種莫名奇妙的、喪失理智的、毫無(wú)根據(jù)的恐懼。它把人們轉(zhuǎn)退為進(jìn)所需要的種種努力化為泡影。但凡在我國(guó)生活陰云密布的時(shí)刻，坦率而有活力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)都得到過(guò)人民的理解和支持，從而為勝利準(zhǔn)備了不可缺少的必要條件。我相信，在目前危機(jī)的時(shí)刻，大家會(huì)再次給與同樣的支持。我和你們都要以這種精神來(lái)共同面對(duì)困難。感謝上帝，這些困難只是物質(zhì)方面的。

unreasoning: adj.喪失理智的unjustified: adj.毫無(wú)根據(jù)的frankness: n.率直,坦白

七、In this symposium, better is it to only sit in silence.To express one's feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task.That I would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener-in: the riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal, there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill, there is time to hear the kind voice of friends, and to say to oneself, the work is done.But just as one says that, the answer comes, the race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains.The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest;it cannot be while you still live.But to live is to function, that is all there is in living.So I end with a land from a Latin voice: death, death, clutches my ear, and says, live, I am coming.--By Oliver Wendell Holmes

譯文：

此刻，沉默是金。要在生命即將完結(jié)之時(shí)表達(dá)個(gè)人感受并非易事。但我只是想談?wù)勛鳛橐幻麅A聽(tīng)者的看法。騎士們并非一到終點(diǎn)就立刻止步。他們繼續(xù)緩步向前，傾聽(tīng)朋友們的歡呼。他們雖然告訴自己行程已經(jīng)結(jié)束了。正如人們所說(shuō)結(jié)果出來(lái)了,比賽結(jié)束了。但只要?jiǎng)恿θ栽?，人生之旅就尚未結(jié)束。終點(diǎn)之后的慢跑并非停止不前，因?yàn)榛钪悴荒苋绱?。活著就要有所作為，這才是生命的真諦。最后謹(jǐn)以一句古拉丁格言與各位共勉：死神不止，奮斗不止。

八、The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.--By George W.Bush

這些理想中最偉大的是正在慢慢實(shí)現(xiàn)的美國(guó)的承諾，這就是：每個(gè)人都有自身的價(jià)值，每個(gè)人都有成功的機(jī)會(huì)，每個(gè)人天生都會(huì)有所作為的。美國(guó)人民肩負(fù)著一種使命，那就是要竭力將這個(gè)諾言變成生活中和法律上的現(xiàn)實(shí)。雖然我們的國(guó)家過(guò)去在追求實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)承諾的途中停滯不前甚至倒退，但我們?nèi)詫?jiān)定不移地完成這一使命。在上個(gè)世紀(jì)的大部分時(shí)間里，美國(guó)自由民主的信念猶如洶涌大海中的巖石?，F(xiàn)在它更像風(fēng)中的種子，把自由帶給每個(gè)民族。在我們的國(guó)家，民主不僅僅是一種信念，而是全人類的希望；民主，我們不會(huì)獨(dú)占，而會(huì)竭力讓大家分享；民主，我們將銘記于心并且不斷傳播。225年過(guò)去了，我們?nèi)杂泻荛L(zhǎng)的路要走。

Love Your Life

熱愛(ài)生活

Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛(wèi).梭羅

However mean your life is,meet it and live it;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對(duì)它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時(shí)候，倒是看似最窮。愛(ài)找缺點(diǎn)的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點(diǎn)。你要愛(ài)你的生活，盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個(gè)濟(jì)貧院里，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時(shí)候。夕陽(yáng)反射在濟(jì)貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一個(gè)從容的人，在哪里也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮(zhèn)中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過(guò)著最獨(dú)立不羈的生活。也許因?yàn)樗麄兒軅ゴ?，所以受之無(wú)愧。大多數(shù)人以為他們是超然的，不靠城鎮(zhèn)來(lái)支援他們；可是事實(shí)上他們是往往利用了不正當(dāng)?shù)氖侄蝸?lái)對(duì)付生活，他們是毫不超脫的，毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像圣人一樣耕植它吧！不要找新的花樣，無(wú)論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來(lái)麻煩你自己。找舊的，回到那里去。萬(wàn)物不變，是我們?cè)谧?。你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。
