第一篇：關(guān)于發(fā)掘自我的CASIO杯英語演講稿

Ladies and Gentlemen,It’s my great honor to stand here and nice to meet all of you.My name is Lvxueyuan,I’m from Qingdao No.2 middle school.Well, the topic I'm going to deal with is discover yourself.Now I’m a senior high school freshman in grade 1 and I have found that facing some of the tension made me under too much pressure.Actually,I felt heavy breath, and for the future, Who am I?What kind of life will I lead ?Questions crowded my mind.Until then understood, in life ups and downs and difficulties every time before, only you can save your own,You need to discover yourself.Discovering yourself is not only mean self-confidence, to give encouragement to yourself and to explore your own talent,but an attitude to your life as well.First,discover yourself means you should enjoy your life and appreciate what you have.THOUGH Geniuses amaze us,impress us and make us all a little jealous,WE CAN still find something valuable on ourselves.DO YOU think so?Your dreams are waiting to be realized.Don't waste time making excuses.Reach for your peak,your goal and change your limits！!

Secondly, to discover yourself you need to develop your ability to deal with some situstions or difficulties and the virtue Now, I want to share with you a story of a girl who used to be very shy and not brave enough.But according to the summer military training,she has changed a lot.The girl, he-he,definitely is me.ATTENTION!At ease!March off!The Military training impressed me a lot.So far I have ears still ringing those voices back.Five days of military training is much more difficult than expected.The top discipline is to obey orders.We often stop military posture more than an hour.The long march and the High-intensity training left me unforgetable pain, The midday sun burnt my skin,I was getting darker and darker.Emergency dril in the midnight made me completely crazy!The coach punished me by forcing me to run five laps of the track made me exhuasted and my voice became hoarse.On the third day of training,I said to myself” I can’t stand it！I could not get on！I'm not a strong girl!” My tears fell down.In tears,I saw the figure of the instructors in the distant.They have a strong spirit of resolute character.They never give up.Why can’t I?I can do it!Just believe in yourself;you have the talent to overcome the obstacles.The potential is waiting to be discovered.”After that,I made every effort in traing because I knew that was an opportunity for me to discover myself.I eventually completed military training, when walking though the platform as a pioneer of the team,I was so proud of myself.As an old saying says,”Noting is written,you’ve been taught how to write for yourself.”Dare to compare,dare to care,dare to dream,dare to love.The door to all the best things in the world will open to me, but the key to that door is in my hand.That is all my presentation, thank you for listening.

第四篇：第七屆CASIO 杯翻譯競(jìng)賽英譯中

詩(shī)的妙用

〔英〕伊恩·麥克尤恩 作 張春柏 譯

邁克爾·比爾德是個(gè)獨(dú)子。他自己就會(huì)首先承認(rèn)，他根本不懂手足之情為何物，對(duì)于這一點(diǎn)，誰也不會(huì)感到詫異。他的母親安琪拉，是位骨感美人，對(duì)他千般寵，萬般愛，她表達(dá)愛的渠道便是食物，她拼命給他喂食，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了他的需要。早在他榮獲諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎(jiǎng)四十年前，就曾在科爾德諾頓 地區(qū)0至6個(gè)月組超級(jí)寶寶大賽中拔得頭籌。在那戰(zhàn)后的艱難歲月里，人們理想中漂亮寶寶的主要特征，就是脂肪多多、有著邱吉爾式的多重下巴。人們夢(mèng)想結(jié)束配給制，夢(mèng)想物質(zhì)豐富的時(shí)代早日到來。在那些競(jìng)賽中，寶寶們?nèi)缤桓鶇①惖奈骱J，公開陳列，供人評(píng)判。1947年，五個(gè)月大的邁克爾，圓滾滾，胖嘟嘟，惹人疼，惹人愛, 橫掃群嬰，輕松奪魁。不過，要她這樣的中產(chǎn)婦女、證券經(jīng)紀(jì)人的太太，在村里難得的盛會(huì)上，不去光顧糕餅甜醬攤子，而帶孩子去參加這種俗氣的比賽，絕非尋常。她一準(zhǔn)知道他注定會(huì)贏。正如她后來常說的，她早就料定他將得到牛津大學(xué)的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。一待他斷奶，她便以同樣的激情，為他燒飯做菜，樂此不疲，終此一生。六十年代中期，她甚至不顧病痛，到藍(lán)帶烹飪學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí), 為的是他偶爾回家時(shí)能一顯身手，端上三五盤新菜。她丈夫亨利，每餐一葷兩素，但忌食洋蔥，不喜橄欖油。兩人新婚不久，由于迄今沒有公開的原因，安琪拉便收回了對(duì)他的愛。她活著只是為了兒子，她留下的遺產(chǎn)也同樣一目了然：一個(gè)大腹便便的男人，一個(gè)不停地追逐會(huì)燒菜的美女的男人。

亨利·比爾德，瘦瘦的身材，一對(duì)八字胡，垂向下方，光亮的棕發(fā)，整齊地梳向腦后。他那深色的花呢外套略嫌肥大，領(lǐng)子更是過于寬松。對(duì)這個(gè)小家庭，他供妻養(yǎng)兒，盡心盡責(zé)。對(duì)于兒子，他則一如當(dāng)時(shí)典型的嚴(yán)父，很少有身體上的接觸。他從不擁抱邁克爾，很少親昵地拍他的肩膀，但卻給了他所有合適的禮物——從麥卡諾牌的拆裝玩具，到自己動(dòng)手裝的無線電收音機(jī)、百科全書和飛機(jī)模型，以及軍事史、地質(zhì)學(xué)著作和名人傳記，無所不包，應(yīng)有盡有。二戰(zhàn)期間他長(zhǎng)期服役，當(dāng)過步兵的低級(jí)軍官，在敦刻爾克、北非和西西里打過仗，到了盟軍進(jìn)攻日 時(shí)，他已經(jīng)是個(gè)中校，還獲得了一枚勛章。貝爾森 集中營(yíng)解放一周后，他到達(dá)那里，戰(zhàn)后還在柏林駐扎了八個(gè)月。和許多同輩的男人一樣，他對(duì)自己的經(jīng)歷絕口不提，只是盡情地享受著戰(zhàn)后恬淡的生活，享受著那種寧?kù)o和整潔，以及日漸改善的物質(zhì)條件。更重要的是，他享受著那種安全感 —— 一句話，后來令和平初期出生的人們感到窒息痛苦的一切東西，他都趨之若渴，甘之如飴。

1952年，邁爾爾五歲時(shí)，四十歲的亨利·比爾德放棄了他在倫敦老城商業(yè)銀行的工作，重拾舊愛，干起了法律。他在不遠(yuǎn)的切姆斯福市 的一家老字號(hào)律師事務(wù)所當(dāng)了合伙人，直到退休。為了慶祝這個(gè)重要的轉(zhuǎn)變，慶祝自己從每天來往利物浦大街 的交通中解放出來，他買了輛二手的羅斯萊斯銀云。這臺(tái)淺藍(lán)色座駕，他一用就是三十三年，直到去世。他兒子成年后，回首當(dāng)年，略有歉疚，他愛父親的，就是這種手筆和氣派。作為小鎮(zhèn)上的初級(jí)律師，亨利?比爾德的生活很快便被財(cái)產(chǎn)轉(zhuǎn)讓、遺囑檢驗(yàn)之類的瑣事所吞噬，此后的生活更加平淡，波瀾不驚。每逢周末，他基本上就是種種花，養(yǎng)養(yǎng)車，或者和扶輪國(guó)際 的朋友打打高爾夫。他平靜地接受了無愛的婚姻，那是為他的所得付出的代價(jià)。

也就是在這時(shí)候，安琪拉·比爾德開始了一系列長(zhǎng)達(dá)十一年的婚外戀情。在家里，年輕的邁克爾，既粗心又麻木，對(duì)父母間的明爭(zhēng)暗吵都毫無覺察。放學(xué)回家后，他常常關(guān)在家里，搭搭積木，做做功課，粘粘紙片。后來他開始沉迷色情，縱欲手淫，追逐女孩。十七歲時(shí)，他甚至沒有注意到，他母親在外面玩膩了，玩累了，撤回到了婚姻的庇護(hù)所。直到她五十多歲、乳腺癌晚期生命垂危之時(shí)，他才聽到了她的婚外戀情。她似乎在懇求他原諒她毀了他的童年。那是他在牛津二年級(jí)即將結(jié)束的時(shí)候，腦子里裝的除了數(shù)學(xué)物理，便是美酒靚女。一開始他云里霧里的，不明白她在說些什么。她躺在醫(yī)院十九層的私人病房里，靠在枕頭上。窗外，可以看到堪威島邊鹽堿化的濕地上林立的工廠和泰晤士河的南岸。他已經(jīng)成人，當(dāng)然明白要是告訴她，說他什么也沒注意到，說她的道歉搞錯(cuò)了對(duì)象，或者說他無法想象一個(gè)人三十多歲還能性交，那將是對(duì)她的莫大污辱。他只是抓住她的手，用力地握著，以此表達(dá)他的赤子溫情，然后對(duì)她說，其實(shí)她沒有什么需要他原諒的。

回家后，他和父親喝了三杯威士忌，回到自己的房間，和衣倒在床上，回味良久，這才恍然大悟, 明白了她的非凡“成就”。天哪，短短十一年她竟有十七個(gè)情人！想當(dāng)年，比爾德中校三十三歲時(shí)，經(jīng)歷過何等驚心動(dòng)魄的戰(zhàn)斗，何等險(xiǎn)象環(huán)生的廝殺！可安琪拉也得有她的“驚”與“險(xiǎn)”。她的情人便是她對(duì)隆美爾發(fā)起的沙漠之戰(zhàn)、她的情人便是她的進(jìn)攻日、她的柏林之戰(zhàn)。她靠在醫(yī)院的枕頭上, 對(duì)邁克爾說，沒有他們，她準(zhǔn)會(huì)自怨自責(zé)的，她準(zhǔn)會(huì)神經(jīng)崩潰的。可結(jié)果她還是自責(zé)不已，只不過這種自責(zé)是因?yàn)樗X得虧欠了自己唯一的兒子。

第二天他回到醫(yī)院，任由她虛汗?jié)櫇竦氖志o緊攥住自己的手，告訴她說，他的童年最幸福了，他的童年最安全了，他從沒覺得受過冷落，更沒有懷疑過她的母愛，況且他吃的又是那么好，他甚至為她“對(duì)生活的胃口”感到驕傲，希望能出于藍(lán)，勝于藍(lán)。這是他有生以來第一次、也是最好的一次“演講”，其中四分之三絕對(duì)是真情流露。

六星期后，她去世了。對(duì)于她的情史，父子倆自然諱莫如深?？墒谴撕笤S多年，邁克爾每每駛過切姆斯福市或附近的村子，看到某個(gè)在人行道上蹣跚前行、或者在公交站邊頹然癱倒的老頭，就禁不住想，他會(huì)不會(huì)是那十七分之一？

第七屆CASIO 杯翻譯競(jìng)賽原文

The Use of Poetry Ian McEwan

It surprised no one to learn that Michael Beard had been an only child, and he would have been the first to concede that he’d never quite got the hang of brotherly feeling.His mother, Angela, was an angular beauty who doted on him, and the medium of her love was food.She bottle-fed him with passion, surplus to demand.Some four decades before he won the Nobel Prize in Physics, he came top in the Cold Norton and District Baby Competition, birth-to-six-months class.In those harsh postwar years, ideals of infant beauty resided chiefly in fat, in Churchillian multiple chins, in dreams of an end to rationing and of the reign of plenty to come.Babies were exhibited and judged like prize marrows, and, in 1947, the five-month-old Michael, bloated and jolly, swept all before him.However, it was unusual at a village fête for a middle-class woman, a stockbroker’s wife, to abandon the cake-and-chutney stall and enter her child for such a gaudy event.She must have known that he was bound to win, just as she later claimed always to have known that he would get a scholarship to Oxford.Once he was on solids, and for the rest of her life, she cooked for him with the same commitment with which she had held the bottle, sending herself in the mid-sixties, despite her illness, on a Cordon Bleu cookery course so that she could try new meals during his occasional visits home.Her husband, Henry, was a meat-and-two-veg man, who despised garlic and the smell of olive oil.Early in the marriage, for reasons that remained private, Angela withdrew her love from him.She lived for her son, and her legacy was clear: a fat man who restlessly craved the attentions of beautiful women who could cook.Henry Beard was a lean sort with a drooping mustache and slicked-back brown hair, whose dark suits and brown tweeds seemed a cut too large, especially around the neck.He provided for his miniature family well and, in the fashion of the time, loved his son sternly and with little physical contact.Though he never embraced Michael, and rarely laid an affectionate hand on his shoulder, he supplied all the right kinds of present—Meccano and chemistry sets, a build-it-yourself wireless, encyclopedias, model airplanes, and books about military history, geology, and the lives of great men.He had had a long war, serving as a junior officer in the infantry in Dunkirk, North Africa, and Sicily, and then, as a lieutenant colonel, in the D Day landings, where he won a medal.He had arrived at the concentration camp of Belsen a week after it was liberated, and was stationed in Berlin for eight months after the war ended.Like many men of his generation, he did not speak about his experiences and he relished the ordinariness of postwar life, its tranquil routines, its tidiness and rising material well-being, and, above all, its lack of danger—everything that would later appear stifling to those born in the first years of the peace.In 1952, when Michael was five, the forty-year-old Henry Beard gave up his job at a merchant bank in the City and returned to his first love, which was the law.He became a partner in an old firm in nearby Chelmsford and stayed there for the rest of his working life.To celebrate the momentous change and his liberation from the daily commute to Liverpool Street, he bought himself a secondhand Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud.This pale-blue machine lasted him thirty-three years, until his death.From the vantage of adulthood, and with some retrospective guilt, his son loved him for this grand gesture.But the life of a small-town solicitor, absorbed by matters of conveyancing and probate, settled on Henry Beard an even greater tranquillity.At weekends, he mostly cared for his roses, or his car, or golf with fellow-Rotarians.He stolidly accepted his loveless marriage as the price he must pay for his gains.It was about this time that Angela Beard began a series of affairs that stretched over eleven years.Young Michael registered no outward hostilities or silent tensions in the home, but, then, he was neither observant nor sensitive, and was often in his room after school, building, reading, gluing, and later took up pornography and masturbation full time, and then girls.Nor, at the age of seventeen, did he notice that his mother had retreated, exhausted, to the sanctuary of her marriage.He heard of her adventures only when she was dying of breast cancer, in her early fifties.She seemed to want his forgiveness for ruining his childhood.By then he was nearing the end of his second year at Oxford and his head was full of maths and girlfriends, physics and drinking, and at first he could not take in what she was telling him.She lay propped up on pillows in her private room on the nineteenth floor of a tower-block hospital, with views toward the industrialized salt marshes by Canvey Island and the south shore of the Thames.He was grownup enough to know that it would have insulted her to say that he had noticed nothing.Or that she was apologizing to the wrong person.Or that he could not imagine anyone over thirty having sex.He held her hand and squeezed it to signal his warm feelings, and said that there was nothing to forgive.It was only after he had driven home, and drunk three nightcap Scotches with his father, then gone to his old room and lain on the bed fully dressed and considered what she had told him, that he grasped the extent of her achievement.Seventeen lovers in eleven years.Lieutenant Colonel Beard had had all the excitement and danger he could stand by the age of thirty-three.Angela had to have hers.Her lovers were her desert campaign against Rommel, her D Day, and her Berlin.Without them, she had told Michael from her hospital pillows, she would have hated herself and gone mad.But she hated herself anyway, for what she thought she had done to her only child.He went back to the hospital the next day and, while she sweatily clung to his hand, told her that his childhood had been the happiest and most secure imaginable, that he had never felt neglected or doubted her love or eaten so well, and that he was proud of what he called her appetite for life and hoped to emulate it.It was the first time that he had ever given a speech.These half and quarter truths were the best words he had ever spoken.Six weeks later, she was dead.Naturally, her love life was a closed subject between father and son, but for years afterward Michael could not drive through Chelmsford or the surrounding villages without wondering whether this or that old fellow tottering along the pavement or slumped near a bus stop was one of the seventeen.

海選時(shí)，采取突然淘汰法，即準(zhǔn)備不充分、語音語調(diào)差的直接淘汰。反之，直接晉級(jí)。只是.......要麻煩大家背誦了！其實(shí).......你有把握前兩段就打動(dòng)評(píng)委，那.......（不說了）。we are the world,we are the future someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”.i don’t know who wrote these words, but i’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be.we are all in the position of the farmers.if we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest.if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.we are young.“how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful question.to answer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind.it’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees.it’s the matter of the will.it’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.several days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture.i learnt a lot there.i’d like to share it with all of you.let’s show our right palms.we can see three lines that show how our love, career and life is.i have a short line of life.what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way.well, let’s make a fist.where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell me.yeah, it is in our hands.it is held in ourselves.we all want the future to be better than the past.but the future can go better itself.don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.from the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher.we’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it.failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way.failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.as what i said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”.the past has gone.nothing we do will change it.but the future is in front of us.believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us.and from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “we are the world, we are the future.”

參考譯文

世界是我們的，未來是我們的 一些人說“我們正在讀一本無窮的書中的第一章的第一節(jié)?！蔽也恢勒l寫了這些話，但是我一直很喜歡它，因?yàn)樗嵝蚜宋遥覀兡軌騽?chuàng)造我們想要的未來。

我們都是農(nóng)夫。如果我們播下好的種子，我們將會(huì)豐收。如果我們的種子很差，有很多草籽，收割的將是無用的莊稼。如果我們什么也不播種，什么收獲也沒有。

我們是年輕的。“怎樣度過青春?”這是個(gè)有意義的問題。為了去回答它，我首先要問“從‘青春’這個(gè)詞中你能理解到什么?” 青春不是人生的一個(gè)時(shí)期，而是精神的一種狀態(tài)。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志。青春是生命的深泉在涌流.一位詩(shī)人說“從一粒沙看世界，從一朵花看天堂，把無限放在你的手掌，永恒在一剎那里收藏”。幾天前，我有了一個(gè)聽講座的機(jī)會(huì)，從中我學(xué)到了很多東西。現(xiàn)在，我想把這些與大家共享。讓我們伸出右手，我們可以看到手掌中的展示我們的愛，事業(yè)和生活的三條線。我在生活方面這條線很短，那你們的呢?我想知道我們是否可以用這種辦法去看我們的未來。好的，讓我們一起握拳。我們的未來在哪兒?我們的愛、事業(yè)和生活在哪兒?告訴我!是的，它們就在我們的手中。它們被我們自己掌握著。

我們所有人都希望未來能比過去更美好，但是未來能自己變得更好。不要因?yàn)榻Y(jié)束而哭泣，微笑吧，為你的曾經(jīng)擁有。從過去來看，生活是艱苦的，但我們是更堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。我們知道我們不能選擇感覺，但是我們能選擇和它相關(guān)的東西。失敗并不意味著你不擁有成功，它只意味著你應(yīng)該用另一種方式去做這件事。失敗并不意味著你應(yīng)該放棄，只意味著你應(yīng)該更加努力。正如我在前面所說的“我們正在讀一本無窮的書中的第一章的第一節(jié)?！边^去的已經(jīng)過去，無論我們無力改變，但是未來卻在我們前方。相信“我們給了世界什么，世界也將給我們”。并且從今天起，讓我們一起做我們自己的主人，一起大聲說出“世界是我們的，未來是我們的?！逼和庋猩绫⒄Z演講比賽演講稿 let’s check out how serious the environmental situation is in the world.recent years have seen an increasing number of reports on the extinction of species, soil erosion as well as air pollution.the history of industrialization and urbanization has been a history of declining environmental quality.we may be satisfied with our so called modern life, but please do not turn a blind eye to what’s happened around us.water is polluted.animals are killed.resources are devoured.and farmlands turn into desserts.ladies and gentlemen, the earth is in our hands.save it, or destroy it, it’s our choice.our efforts will be powerful enough to save the world.if everyone, including you and me, is engaged in this world-saving project, environment will never ever be my top concern.篇三：2014外研社杯英語演講稿 change the unchangeable—you will when you believe good evening, ladies and gentleman!it’s my great honor to be here giving this speech to you.thank you so much.my topic of the speech is change the unchangeable-you will when you believe!in our daily life, there are many things which we considered as the unchangeable.for example, you think you cannot remember all the english words.you think its impossible to be the number one in your class because many students are doing better than you.and also you do not believe that you can change the world by yourself.but now, i am telling you, all of these are not true.there is a chance that you can change the so-called unchangeable things.it’s not a hard as it looks like.all you need to do is to be confident, believing in yourself that you can do it.in this world, there are two kinds of animals that can climb to the top of the pyramid.one is the eagle, its wings can help it fly to the top of the pyramid easily.the other is the snail, no one believes the snail can do such unchangeable things.but the snail itself believes.just like water constantly dripping wears holes in stone.step by step, the confidence and persistence finally help the snail manage to arrive at the top of the pyramid.the unchangeable things, just like a wall that prevents us from seeing through the essence of life and exploring the colorful world.but confidence can give us courage to break that wall, and a strong will can finally get us there.when meeting with the unchangeable things next time, face it with confidence.believing that you can do it under any circumstances.as long as we are confident enough to pursue our future dream with great passion and courage, we will make a difference!nothing is difficult to a willing heart.change the unchangeable-you will when you believe!篇四：2013外研社杯英語演講大賽主持詞 ?.老師，同學(xué)們，大家中午好，歡迎來到 “外研社”杯英語演講比賽的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。this contest is sponsored by college, undertaken by english teaching and researching office.學(xué)院牽頭，學(xué)院英語教研室承辦。

一、培養(yǎng)良好的演講習(xí)慣，提高演講技巧。可參閱以下圖書：

二、注意平時(shí)積累，在學(xué)習(xí)語言的同時(shí)注重文化知識(shí)的掌握?？蓞㈤喴韵聢D書：

《中國(guó)文化讀本》（中文版、英文版）（作者：葉朗 朱良志）

三、積極鍛煉思維，培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新意識(shí)，提高思辨能力。

四、關(guān)注國(guó)際新聞及重大社會(huì)事件報(bào)道，了解權(quán)威新聞機(jī)構(gòu)的評(píng)述。

以上建議供英語演講愛好者與參賽選手參考。演講比賽包含定題演講、即興演講、綜合知識(shí)速答、辯論等環(huán)節(jié)，既是英語演講能力競(jìng)賽的平臺(tái)，更是選手綜合文化素質(zhì)展現(xiàn)的舞臺(tái)，選手在學(xué)習(xí)語言的同時(shí)，平時(shí)注重廣泛涉獵各學(xué)科知識(shí)，不僅對(duì)語言交流有所裨益，更能增加閱歷，提高素養(yǎng)，拓展視野。
