twan-yuan-huoo-guo:團圓火鍋.shy-jiin-way :什錦辣味.have been here.looking back, it seems like a very short five years living here and working together with you.my wife and i still remember the first day we arrived in los angeles, and every thing looked so huge, pared with things in taipei.the first several months were a difficult time, but we tried very hard to adapt ourselves to the new environment, new life style, and a new place of work.there were times of disappointment, anger, and humiliation, and there were also times of joy, excitement, and happiness, through them all, you have always been with us to share the sorrow and happiness, and we are deeply grateful to you for that.millions of thanks to you all, and don't forget to finish your dinner before it gets cold.notes: being kind to me :關(guān)照

day.so what, you may say, what does this mean to me, and why should i even bother to listen? well the answer is very simple, as students in china we live a life of privilege and relative safety pared to children and young people in many other parts of the world.we are very lucky.but this shouldn’t mean that we don’t care about other children and munities around the world less fortunate than ourselves.i think some classes have been learning about how students just like us in other parts of the world have to struggle to survive.some children cant afford the things we take for granted like food, clothing, safe water and sanitation and having the opportunity to go to school.today is a day set aside t(請收藏本站)o promote worldwide unity between children and to increase the awareness by all people of the plight of vulnerable children in some parts of the world.in nsw, we are calling our contribution to universal children's day, unicef day for change.as part of this day, our school is doing..(brief description of activity).on behalf of the students and staff who have put time into planning this activity, i would like to thank you in advance for your support.thank you and a fine one.there is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything.to be young is to be as one of the immortal gods.one half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countletreasures;for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes.we make the ing age our own-the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.death.old age.are s without a meaning.that paby us like the idea air which we regard not.others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we “bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies.as in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance;so, in the mencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations.nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them.we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag;and it seems that we can go on so forever.we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress;and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave.it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that(so to speak)identifies us with nature, and(our experience being slight and our passions strong)deludes us into a belief of being

immortal like it.our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation.as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.年輕人不相信自己會死。這是我哥哥的話，可算得一句妙語。青春有一種永生之感——它能彌補一切。人在青年時代好像一尊永生的神明。誠然，生命的一半已以消逝，但蘊藏著不盡財富的另一半還有所保留，我們對它也抱著無窮的希望和幻想。未來的時代完全屬于我們——

無限遼闊的遠景在我們面前展現(xiàn)

死亡，老年，不過是空話，毫無意義;我們聽了，只耳邊風，全不放在心上。這些事，別人也許經(jīng)歷過，或者可能要承受，但是我們自己，“在靈符護佑下度日”，對于諸如此類脆弱的念頭，統(tǒng)統(tǒng)付之輕蔑的一笑。像是剛剛走上愉快的旅程，極目遠眺——

向遠方的美景歡呼!此時，但覺好風光應(yīng)接不暇，而且，前程更有美不勝收的新鮮景致。在這生活的開端，我們聽任自己的志趣馳騁，放手給它們一切滿足的機會。到此為止，我們還沒有碰上過什么障礙，也沒有感覺到什

么疲憊，因此覺得還可以一直這樣向前走去，直到永遠。我們看到四周一派新天地——生機盎然，變動不居，日新月異;我們覺得自己活力充盈，精神飽滿，可與宇宙并駕齊驅(qū)。而且，眼前也無任何跡象可以證明，在大自然的發(fā)展過程中，我們自己也會落伍，衰老，進入墳?zāi)?。由于年輕人天真單純，可以說是茫然無知，因而將自己跟大自然劃上等號;并且，由于經(jīng)驗少而感情盛，誤以為自己也能和大自然一樣永世長存。我們一廂情愿，癡心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暫時棲身，當作千古不變、萬事長存的結(jié)合，好像沒有冷淡、爭執(zhí)、離別的密月。像嬰兒帶著微笑入睡，我們躺在用自己編織成的搖籃里，讓大千世界的萬籟之聲催哄我們安然入夢;我們急切切，興沖沖地暢飲生命之杯，怎么也不會飲干，反而好像永遠是滿滿欲溢;森羅萬象紛至沓來，各種欲望隨之而生，使我們騰不出工夫想死亡。

The Old Cat

An old woman had a cat.The cat was very old;she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old.One day the old cat saw a mouse;she jumped and caught the mouse.But she could not bite it;so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse.She began to hit the cat.The cat said, “Do not hit your old servant.I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old.Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young.”

第四篇：英語演講小短文

Heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.High should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Which tends to be stifled by too much study.Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我認為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應(yīng)當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應(yīng)該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學校課業(yè)，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。

Time【時間】

Lost time is never found again.This is something which I learned very clearly last semester.I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.I finally realized that something had to be done.It was time for a change.Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely.I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.This will give me a head start on the day.I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it.Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.時光一去不復返，這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。我浪費很多時間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時候了。

現(xiàn)在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來?；仡櫸宜龅氖虑闀l(fā)我如何重新安排我的時間。

Work and Play【工作與娛樂】

Work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they complement each other.As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school.Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作與娛樂并不互相沖突，事實上，它們之間的關(guān)系還相輔相成。有句格言說：「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沉悶乏味?！贡还ぷ髦負鷫旱么贿^氣來的生活，將使你一事無成，因為你將對一成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另一方面來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調(diào)生活中的緊張與不悅。

放學之后，我最常做的休閑活動，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我并不特地撥出時間來做運動，但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此一來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下一星期的工作量。

My first Job【我的第一份工作】

My first job was at a cramming school.It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination.since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message.I worked eight hours a day, six days a week.The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well.The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.我的第一份工作是在一家補習班做事。那是三年前我剛從國中畢業(yè)，考完聯(lián)考時的事了。既然我那整個夏天都閑著沒事，倒不如找份差事，嘗嘗獨立賺錢的快樂。

我負責接聽電話且紀錄留言的工作。我一天工作八小時，一星期工作六天。那份工作對我而言既不困難亦不沉重，所以我想我還滿稱職的。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過于花全部由自己賺來的錢了！

My Favorite Sports【我最喜愛的運動】

Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.Table tennis is my favorite game.I play it almost every day.Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.Table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.運動能幫助每一個人保持健康、快樂和有效率。所以我特別重視運動，特別是桌球，桌球是我最喜歡的運動。我?guī)缀趺刻焱妗?/p>

桌球?qū)ξ覀兌?，是一項理想的運動，因為它可以使我們?nèi)磉\動，它可以增強我們的肌肉，擴張我們的肺部，促進血液循環(huán)，并且使肌膚產(chǎn)生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所費不多。桌球是相當溫和適中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一種室內(nèi)運動，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜愛的一種運動。

Keep learning【保持學習】

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire

for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.學習之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達。同樣地，我們應(yīng)該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅(qū)使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學習是在信息時代中跟時代并駕齊驅(qū)的最穩(wěn)當?shù)姆椒?，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。

一旦學習停止，單調(diào)貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應(yīng)該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數(shù)日就將使人落后。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們?nèi)烁竦挠?。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業(yè)。

無限遼闊的遠景在我們面前展現(xiàn)

死亡，老年，不過是空話，毫無意義;我們聽了，只耳邊風，全不放在心上。這些事，別人也許經(jīng)歷過，或者可能要承受，但是我們自己，“在靈符護佑下度日”，對于諸如此類脆弱的念頭，統(tǒng)統(tǒng)付之輕蔑的一笑。像是剛剛走上愉快的旅程，極目遠眺——

向遠方的美景歡呼!

此時，但覺好風光應(yīng)接不暇，而且，前程更有美不勝收的新鮮景致。在這生活的開端，我們聽任自己的志趣馳騁，放手給它們一切滿足的機會。到此為止，我們還沒有碰上過什么障礙，也沒有感覺到什么疲憊，因此覺得還可以一直這樣向前走去，直到永遠。我們看到四周一派新天地——生機盎然，變動不居，日新月異;我們覺得自己活力充盈，精神飽滿，可與宇宙并駕齊驅(qū)。而且，眼前也無任何跡象可以證明，在大自然的發(fā)展過程中，我們自己也會落伍，衰老，進入墳?zāi)?。由于年輕人天真單純，可以說是茫然無知，因而將自己跟大自然劃上等號;并且，由于經(jīng)驗少而感情盛，誤以為自己也能和大自然一樣永世長存。我們一廂情愿，癡心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暫時棲身，當作千古不變、萬事長存的結(jié)合，好像沒有冷淡、爭執(zhí)、離別的密月。像嬰兒帶著微笑入睡，我們躺在用自己編織成的搖籃里，讓大千世界的萬籟之聲催哄我們安然入夢;我們急切切，興沖沖地暢飲生命之杯，怎么也不會飲干，反而好像永遠是滿滿欲溢;森羅萬象紛至沓來，各種欲望隨之而生，使我們騰不出工夫想死亡。

first of all, i want to thank you all for ing to this party.i have thrown this party, because i wanted to thank you all for being kind to me while i have been here.looking back, it seems like a very short five years living here and working together with you.my wife and i still remember the first day we arrived in los angeles, and every thing looked so huge, pared with things in taipei.the first several months were a difficult time, but we tried very hard to adapt ourselves to the new environment, new life style, and a new place of work.there were times of disappointment, anger, and humiliation, and there were also times of joy, excitement, and happiness, through them all, you have always been with us to share the sorrow and happiness, and we are deeply grateful to you for that.millions of thanks to you all, and don't forget to finish your dinner before it gets cold.notes: being kind to me :關(guān)照

while i have been here:在我任職此地期間 through them all:始終

other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.high should be allowed more time for play.playing is not wasting time, as some think.it gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.which tends to be stifled by too much study.finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.i do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.i do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我認為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應(yīng)當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應(yīng)該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學校課業(yè)，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。

time【時間】

lost time is never found again.this is something which i learned very clearly last semester.i spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.i finally realized that something had to be done.it was time for a change.now i have a new plan for using my time wisely.i have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.this will give me a head start on the day.i have

also decided to keep a log of what i do and when i do it.looking back on what i’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.時光一去不復返，這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。我浪費很多時間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時候了。

現(xiàn)在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來?；仡櫸宜龅氖虑闀l(fā)我如何重新安排我的時間。

work and play【工作與娛樂】

work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they plement each other.as the saying goes, “all work and no play makes jack a dull boy.” a life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.on the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and disfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.what i usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.usually i don't spare time for exercise, but i value the physical education class at school.jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.on weekends, i'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.i feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作與娛樂并不互相沖突，事實上，它們之間的關(guān)系還相輔相成。有句格言說：「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沉悶乏味?！贡?/p>

工作重擔壓得喘不過氣來的生活，將使你一事無成，因為你將對一成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另一方面來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調(diào)生活中的緊張與不悅。

放學之后，我最常做的休閑活動，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我并不特地撥出時間來做運動，但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此一來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下一星期的工作量。

my first job【我的 my favorite sports【我最喜愛的運動】

sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.so i pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.table tennis is my favorite game.i play it almost every day.table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.it strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.it is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.運動能幫助每一個人保持健康、快樂和有效率。所以我特別重視運動，特別是桌球，桌球是我最喜歡的運動。我?guī)缀趺刻焱妗?/p>

桌球?qū)ξ覀兌?，是一項理想的運動，因為它可以使我們?nèi)磉\動，它可以增強我們的肌肉，擴張我們的肺部，促進血液循環(huán)，并且使肌膚產(chǎn)生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所費不多。桌球是相當溫和適中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一種室內(nèi)運動，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜愛的一種運動。

keep learning【保持學習】

as food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis，and judgment.learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.once learning stops, vegetation sets in.it is a mon fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.on the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.with the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.what's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will e to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.學習之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達。同樣地，我們應(yīng)該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅(qū)使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學習是在信息時代中跟時代并駕齊驅(qū)的最穩(wěn)當?shù)姆椒?，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。

一旦學習停止，單調(diào)貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應(yīng)該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數(shù)日就將使人

落后。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們?nèi)烁竦挠?。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業(yè)。

have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag;and it seems that we can go on so forever.we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress;and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave.it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that(so to speak)identifies us with nature, and(our experience being slight and our passions strong)deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it.our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation.as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.年輕人不相信自己會死。這是我哥哥的話，可算得一句妙語。青春有一種永生之感——它能彌補一切。人在青年時代好像一尊永生的神明。誠然，生命的一半已以消逝，但蘊藏著不盡財富的另一半還有所保留，我們對它也抱著無窮的希望和幻想。未來的時代完全屬于我們——
