A Scene to Remember
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas.These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo.She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, ③the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs.Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many
new problems.On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth.It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.But on the other hand, many problems can occurbig notes, small notes or even coins-from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.Some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are
suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.Why? Because they care,③Because they still want their Mother Nature back.Because they know it still belongs to them.This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.The other night, as I saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Diana Fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our eco-environment that we are taking our next step into the world.And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, ①a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.Thank you very much.

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。

Crossing the Sea
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 his poem “We and They”: 2 “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 cowhorn-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 peoples 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 cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as an 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 inf1uence 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-
twenty-five years of no communication.“ Ever since then, China and America have exchanged many handshakes of various kinds.The fundamental implication of this example is that the need and desire to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.As we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world's economy, and diplomats and politicians are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism.Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world.Underlying this mighty trend of globalization is the echo of E.M.Forster's words, ”O(jiān)nly connect!“ With the IT revolution taking place, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshed into a large melting pot of humanity.In this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.We have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.China is now actively integrating into the world.Our recent entry to the WTO is a good example.For decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order.From the precarious role in the world arena to our present WTO membership, we have come a long way.But what does the way ahead look like? 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 45
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 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
第四篇:21世紀(jì)杯全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽心得
21世紀(jì)杯全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽心得——演講非常道(1)
在本文開(kāi)始前,先為玉樹(shù)祈福,愿逝者安息,生者堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。
前言
這篇文章我從兩周前比賽結(jié)束就開(kāi)始醞釀,算算看,已經(jīng)有十幾天時(shí)間,期間處理各種各樣的事情。為了抓住每一個(gè)稍縱即逝的靈感,我總是先把文章的提綱寫在隨身筆記本上,利用零星時(shí)間思考,只要有新的想法,立即記錄下來(lái)。最后經(jīng)過(guò)整理,就是現(xiàn)在這篇心得。
我曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)21世紀(jì)杯是我在英語(yǔ)演講比賽的謝幕演說(shuō),而這篇心得也許是我的收官之作,至少短期內(nèi),不會(huì)再寫有關(guān)演講比賽的感言。所以我希望這篇文章把能夠提供的建議和經(jīng)歷都和大家一同分享,也歡迎大家補(bǔ)充和指正。
演講非常道
道可道,非常道,名可名,非常名。
萬(wàn)事萬(wàn)物都有自己的法則和規(guī)律,掌握了這些,才能走入眾妙之門。
演講也不例外,不過(guò)演講是一個(gè)非常廣泛的概念,演講之道也是博大精深,不同的場(chǎng)合,不同的目標(biāo)都有許多細(xì)節(jié)和慣例。所以這里我著重探討我對(duì)英語(yǔ)演講比賽之道的見(jiàn)解。
當(dāng)今演講比賽的結(jié)果雖然是以分?jǐn)?shù)量化來(lái)進(jìn)行評(píng)比,但是依然是一項(xiàng)受到評(píng)委主觀評(píng)判影響的賽事。所以:印象非常重要,評(píng)委對(duì)你的印象其實(shí)就決定了你最終的表現(xiàn)。
演講非常道的核心就是:與眾不同 MAKE A DIFFERENCE
演講比賽過(guò)程中要追求適度的標(biāo)新立異,但要在評(píng)委和觀眾可以接受的范圍內(nèi)。這樣無(wú)疑會(huì)使他們眼前一亮,卓爾不群、出類拔萃的表現(xiàn)就是源自于此。此外,與眾不同絕對(duì)不是盲目的求新。過(guò)分的求異會(huì)造成叛逆和極端的印象,反而適得其反。
我曾經(jīng)在一篇心得中分析成功演講的要素,概括起來(lái)有以下幾點(diǎn):
戰(zhàn)勝恐懼,目標(biāo)和聽(tīng)眾,地點(diǎn),時(shí)間和長(zhǎng)度,演講的方式,內(nèi)容,題注,語(yǔ)音,語(yǔ)調(diào)和停頓,互動(dòng),肢體語(yǔ)言,外表,熱情,風(fēng)格。這次我不再一一重復(fù)分析。只是根據(jù)我比賽的經(jīng)歷,挑選幾點(diǎn)來(lái)深入分析一下如何在比賽中做到與眾不同,如何領(lǐng)悟演講的“非常道”。
1.比賽心態(tài):無(wú)為,不爭(zhēng)
我是老子的忠實(shí)“粉絲”,文章第一句話出自老子《道德經(jīng)》的第一句。中國(guó)古代士人最常見(jiàn)的人生態(tài)度是外儒內(nèi)道:一方面儒家的影響,采取積極入世的態(tài)度,以天下為己任,以功業(yè)為目標(biāo);另一方面道家的熏陶,適時(shí)采取超然通達(dá)的人生態(tài)度,順應(yīng)自然而不刻意強(qiáng)求。儒家的思想入世,道家的思想出世,“窮則獨(dú)善其身,達(dá)則兼善天下”,在變動(dòng)不拘的人生中左右逢源,灑脫自在,始終不失精神依托。
比賽也是如此,能夠參加比賽的人,英語(yǔ)演講的水平肯定也是一流的,最后就在于能否通過(guò)心態(tài)把調(diào)適狀態(tài)調(diào)整到最佳。
比賽本質(zhì)就是競(jìng)爭(zhēng),大多數(shù)人都是為了獲獎(jiǎng)而來(lái),紛紛爭(zhēng)先恐后,想要一決雌雄。這種態(tài)度最為普遍,也最容易造成心理壓力,影響發(fā)揮。
我過(guò)去也是這種心態(tài),雄心壯志,年少輕狂,欲于群雄試比高。后來(lái)逐漸淡化這種心理,競(jìng)爭(zhēng)必不可少,不過(guò)是與自己競(jìng)爭(zhēng)而與別人合作的方式更值得提倡。我相信只要我每次都比過(guò)去有所進(jìn)步,就會(huì)達(dá)到預(yù)期的目標(biāo)。山外有山,總會(huì)有人比我強(qiáng),何必一味去和別人爭(zhēng)?把競(jìng)爭(zhēng)內(nèi)化,其實(shí)可以緩解很多壓力,同時(shí)可以專注自己的修為,不知不覺(jué),你已經(jīng)在眾人之上。這就是不爭(zhēng)。
而且來(lái)廣州之前,我就已經(jīng)開(kāi)始計(jì)劃這次自己大學(xué)期間最后一次英語(yǔ)演講比賽了。不管結(jié)果如何,都是一個(gè)句點(diǎn)。所以我告訴自己,完成每天的訓(xùn)練計(jì)劃,不加重負(fù)擔(dān),不節(jié)外生枝,遵循方法功到自然成——這就是無(wú)為。
我飛到羊城比賽,唯一攜帶的書就是《道德經(jīng)》。在被“隔離”的時(shí)光,我除了看看講稿,練書法,寫詩(shī),就是閱讀道德經(jīng),不僅是因?yàn)槲业目倹Q賽講稿闡釋的進(jìn)退之道的思想,而且老子的文字抽象深邃能使人靜心思考。我的心態(tài)是在無(wú)為和不爭(zhēng)中追求與眾不同。賽后很多人問(wèn)我為什么21世紀(jì)杯全國(guó)總冠軍沒(méi)有獲得“最具潛力獎(jiǎng)”,沒(méi)有奔赴倫敦參加世界英語(yǔ)演講比賽?其實(shí)原因很簡(jiǎn)單,頒獎(jiǎng)的時(shí)候比賽主辦方就告訴我,因?yàn)槲业哪挲g超過(guò)了國(guó)際比賽的要求,因此這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)和機(jī)會(huì)留給亞軍。在參加比賽前,我就已經(jīng)在參賽邀請(qǐng)函中看到國(guó)際比賽的年齡要求,當(dāng)時(shí)我就已經(jīng)知道是不可能為國(guó)出征,參賽的心態(tài)也很淡定。如今結(jié)果已經(jīng)是冠軍,何必再去抱怨或者遺憾。萬(wàn)事都有安排,順勢(shì)而為,知足常樂(lè),瀟灑自在,我還是這種心態(tài)。也祝福亞軍比賽順利。
2.內(nèi)容主旨:另辟蹊徑
內(nèi)容是演講的核心,雖然不是第一印象,卻決定了最終印象。文以載道,文章就應(yīng)該闡釋一個(gè)道理,而演講比賽的文章中就是要挖掘一個(gè)與眾不同的道理。我在比賽中一直力求觀點(diǎn)上另辟蹊徑,想別人想不到的,說(shuō)別人沒(méi)有說(shuō)的。比如在在省決賽,我通過(guò)個(gè)人投資經(jīng)驗(yàn)和專業(yè)背景提出了三條理財(cái)建議;全國(guó)半決賽主題是“面對(duì)中國(guó)在全球發(fā)展中的新挑戰(zhàn)和新機(jī)遇”,我從可持續(xù)發(fā)展的問(wèn)題引入公益創(chuàng)投(Social Entrepreneurship),這是我在劍橋?qū)W習(xí)創(chuàng)業(yè)學(xué)時(shí)閱讀到的理論;全國(guó)總決賽談體育啟迪人生,我把馬拉松途中快慢的節(jié)奏提升為人生進(jìn)退之道(The Rhythm of Life),這是受到道家思想的熏陶。我個(gè)人在內(nèi)容上的求新主要來(lái)自兩個(gè)方面:
第一是我的專業(yè),金融專業(yè)需要我日常閱讀很多政經(jīng)書籍,關(guān)注時(shí)事,注重分析。演講比賽有很多對(duì)時(shí)事分析的即興演講題目,我抽到題目“富豪的社會(huì)角色”和“防止礦難發(fā)生”都是熱點(diǎn)問(wèn)題,通過(guò)平時(shí)的閱讀的積累和模聯(lián)會(huì)議的經(jīng)驗(yàn),可以一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)有條不紊的說(shuō)出我的看法。作為非英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的學(xué)生,英語(yǔ)不是我的飯碗,卻是一種思維方式和文化。大學(xué)很多專業(yè)課程都是外教授課的全英文教學(xué),而過(guò)去三四千字的全英文專業(yè)論文令人叫苦不迭,而如今所有的付出也都有了回報(bào)。英語(yǔ)在專業(yè)的背景上才能錦上添花。
第二是我對(duì)諸子百家一直懷有濃厚的興趣,古人的思想給我無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的啟發(fā)和靈感。求師于古人,不僅是返璞歸真,也是發(fā)揚(yáng)和繼承我們的文化。零星時(shí)間我很多不是在讀英語(yǔ),而是在享受背誦諸子百家的文章??鬃拥娜蕫?ài),孟子的大氣,老子的超然,莊子灑脫,韓非子的公正。我們老祖宗的道理沒(méi)有錯(cuò),是我們忽略太久了。學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)到了一定的時(shí)候,你會(huì)漸漸地發(fā)現(xiàn)中文是最優(yōu)美的語(yǔ)言,國(guó)學(xué)是最博大精深的學(xué)問(wèn)。當(dāng)下正值傳統(tǒng)文化復(fù)興,在演講題材選擇上聯(lián)系古人智慧,無(wú)疑是推陳出新。
在構(gòu)思文章主旨和切入點(diǎn)的時(shí)候,建議避開(kāi)陳詞濫調(diào),尋找和提煉一些獨(dú)到的觀點(diǎn),給評(píng)委一種全新的思維。有一句話是這么說(shuō)的:縱向思維是挖深同一個(gè)洞,橫向思維是到別處去挖洞。內(nèi)容的創(chuàng)新需要我們?cè)趯懽鲿r(shí)候采用更多的橫向思維(Parallel thinking)。
3.語(yǔ)音選擇:女王英語(yǔ)和牛津腔
雖然參加演講比賽的選手口音絕對(duì)不是問(wèn)題,但口音作為演講第一印象之一,能夠與眾不同,肯定迅速引人注目。
我對(duì)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)音有著一種偏執(zhí)的追求,我只迷戀女王英語(yǔ)和牛津腔(Queen’s English & Oxford English),收藏女王和英國(guó)首相的演說(shuō)。最初只是一種純粹的喜好,后來(lái)卻意外成為一種競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)。
因?yàn)樵谟⒄Z(yǔ)演講比賽中,絕大多數(shù)選手是一口流利純正的美式英語(yǔ),從紐約腔到德克薩斯口音,應(yīng)有盡有。美音在中國(guó)大行其道,千萬(wàn)名中國(guó)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者深受影響,瘋狂練習(xí),市場(chǎng)上有著各種美音教材,美劇,好萊塢電影是美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的義務(wù)宣傳員。
我骨子里是有一點(diǎn)“雖千萬(wàn)人吾往矣”的倔勁兒,所以不愿意隨波逐流。英音在我眼中就是有著一種與生俱來(lái)的高貴和傳統(tǒng),能夠給人煥然一新的印象。英音也更適合我的演講風(fēng)格,因此女王和牛津的口音作為正統(tǒng)英語(yǔ)(Received Pronunciation),才是我模仿的對(duì)象,倫敦腔(Cockney)和英國(guó)北部的方言則盡可能回避。在劍橋期間,英國(guó)佬對(duì)我的口音贊不絕口,稱是上流社會(huì)的口音,這更加使我堅(jiān)信我的選擇。物以稀為貴,美音如此走俏,英音更顯得彌足珍貴。
我絲毫不想貶低美音,兩者沒(méi)有本質(zhì)優(yōu)劣之分。但是在演講比賽中,如果很多選手使用美音,你說(shuō)一口純正流利的英音立馬脫穎而出,就能使你和別人不一樣。
4.語(yǔ)調(diào)停頓:節(jié)奏的藝術(shù)
選手對(duì)語(yǔ)調(diào)的把握集中在抑揚(yáng)頓挫上,這點(diǎn)沒(méi)錯(cuò),感情需要通過(guò)語(yǔ)調(diào)的起伏來(lái)抒發(fā)。但是很多人忽略了很重要一點(diǎn):停頓。意群之間需要停頓來(lái)作為調(diào)整,給評(píng)委時(shí)間消化和理解,演講者也可以適作休息。停頓是一種節(jié)奏的藝術(shù),適時(shí)的暫停一會(huì)兒,會(huì)使你的演講充滿思考和睿智。許多著名的樂(lè)曲,聲調(diào)不僅是時(shí)高時(shí)低,而且有一些間隙停頓,演講之道也如同音樂(lè)。
5.肢體語(yǔ)言:錦上添花
觀看對(duì)比中西領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的演講就可以看出,中國(guó)官員演講不擅長(zhǎng)也不喜歡使用肢體語(yǔ)言,西方領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人則十分熱衷于此道。這里面有著深刻的文化背景和政治含義。但是在全球化背景下,演講肢體語(yǔ)言的使用絕對(duì)是加分的,在英語(yǔ)演講比賽中,我們應(yīng)該順應(yīng)這種全球化趨勢(shì),合理增加肢體語(yǔ)言的使用。
肢體語(yǔ)言不僅包括手勢(shì),還有其他身體部位的動(dòng)作,結(jié)合演講的內(nèi)容展示,可以使你的演講更加形象生動(dòng),活靈活現(xiàn),富有感召力和張力。
我觀看過(guò)往年選手的比賽視頻,大多數(shù)選手會(huì)使用肢體語(yǔ)言,不過(guò)很單調(diào),手勢(shì)不會(huì)超過(guò)三種。部分選手在不使用手勢(shì)的時(shí)候不知道手往哪里放,顯得不自然。我在掌握肢體語(yǔ)言的時(shí)候,常常是請(qǐng)教外教。根據(jù)內(nèi)容設(shè)計(jì)不同的手勢(shì),我們會(huì)對(duì)一些重要的詞匯,采用肢體語(yǔ)言,有的是手勢(shì),有的是身體的姿勢(shì),還有的是頭部的動(dòng)作。
同時(shí)我自己也秉承一個(gè)原則,肢體語(yǔ)言是錦上添花,過(guò)度使用就會(huì)喧賓奪主。
待續(xù)
6.表情和眼神:演在前,講在后
演講雖然不是演戲,不過(guò)演在前,講在后,演的成分必不可少。演除了肢體語(yǔ)言的使用,就是表情和眼神。
我在21世紀(jì)杯全國(guó)總決賽講述馬拉松的經(jīng)歷,為了展現(xiàn)我在途中的心理變化,我盡可能結(jié)合演講內(nèi)容,通過(guò)面部表情來(lái)還原當(dāng)時(shí)的情狀,比如有一段路程,我很沮喪,想放棄馬拉松賽,于是我就低下頭,垂頭喪氣地說(shuō)話。
演講過(guò)程中最忌眼神只看一個(gè)方向,目光呆滯。在比賽過(guò)程中,環(huán)視評(píng)委是最佳的選擇。評(píng)委一字排開(kāi)入座,你從左邊看到右邊,然后多注意中間的大牌評(píng)委,這種互動(dòng)會(huì)使評(píng)委印象深刻。
7.著裝要求:細(xì)節(jié)彰顯不俗 著裝和語(yǔ)音都是一脈相承,深受英倫的影響。在我去英國(guó)劍橋之前,就已經(jīng)對(duì)正裝特別考究。倒不是為了比賽,我認(rèn)為一個(gè)即將走向社會(huì)的男生,即將要經(jīng)歷男生到男人的轉(zhuǎn)變,正裝的禮儀都缺乏,實(shí)在不合格。正裝不僅要會(huì)穿,熟悉禮儀和慣例,還要穿出品位。
小時(shí)候我就酷愛(ài)翻閱老爸80年版英漢字典中附錄的男士著裝,從燕尾服,小禮服,早禮服,西裝到風(fēng)衣,大禮帽等等。后來(lái)我利用空余時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)閱讀男士正裝的知識(shí)。父母也很開(kāi)明,意識(shí)到大學(xué)時(shí)期需要出席正式場(chǎng)合,他們的資助加上我個(gè)人的獎(jiǎng)金,開(kāi)始購(gòu)置裝備。我特別留意一些男士配飾,比如方巾,袖扣(法式襯衫),這些歐美國(guó)家經(jīng)常使用,但是國(guó)內(nèi)很少看到。其實(shí)真正的男士正裝,三個(gè)重要的配飾就是領(lǐng)帶,袖扣和手表。再如:領(lǐng)帶的顏色和西裝的質(zhì)地,藍(lán)色和紅色的領(lǐng)帶在國(guó)內(nèi)隨處可見(jiàn),所以我選擇金色凸顯不俗,深藍(lán)條紋的羊絨西服可以體現(xiàn)年輕和朝氣,純黑的西服略顯老氣。
在英國(guó)期間,我仔細(xì)觀察了英國(guó)紳士的著裝,走訪很多名牌男士正裝店,詢問(wèn)他們對(duì)正裝的搭配的習(xí)慣。而且我的選擇也得到他們的認(rèn)可。觸動(dòng)極大的是目睹伊頓公學(xué)(Eton College)以早禮服(燕尾服)作為師生的校服,回想國(guó)內(nèi)還是千篇一律的肥大的運(yùn)動(dòng)服,一時(shí)感慨萬(wàn)千。
如今我的兩套西服和各種配飾已經(jīng)陪伴我走過(guò)許多比賽和會(huì)議,每次出征,它們都是必不可少,猶如我的戰(zhàn)袍。有人問(wèn)我為什么沒(méi)有換衣服和領(lǐng)帶,其實(shí)是我兩套西服更換比較難察覺(jué),而那條的金色領(lǐng)帶和黃色的方巾已經(jīng)成為我的吉祥物,金色則是我的幸運(yùn)色,我對(duì)它們都有著深深的感情。
也許是國(guó)內(nèi)缺乏紳士教育,在比賽和會(huì)議時(shí)候,我竟然會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)身著牛仔褲和運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋的男生,或者穿著黑絲襪和涼鞋的女生。禮儀的訓(xùn)練和修養(yǎng)雖然需要一定的物質(zhì)投入,但是如果沒(méi)有基本意識(shí),其他都是空談。
演講比賽不是開(kāi)派對(duì),也不是娛樂(lè)綜藝節(jié)目。作為一個(gè)正式的場(chǎng)合,著裝正確,注重細(xì)節(jié),是對(duì)評(píng)委和觀眾的尊重,也是對(duì)自己的負(fù)責(zé)。高品位的正裝平添了一份自信和從容,如虎添翼。
8.演講風(fēng)格:政治家不是政客
頒獎(jiǎng)的時(shí)候,總決賽一位老奶奶評(píng)委上臺(tái)和我合影,她走近我說(shuō),我一看到你就就知道是一個(gè)politician(政客),哈哈。我馬上回答:No, I am a statesman.(不,我是政治家)她聽(tīng)后大笑答道說(shuō)得好。后來(lái)我才知道她是唐聞生,中國(guó)翻譯協(xié)會(huì)常務(wù)副會(huì)長(zhǎng),原毛澤東的英文秘書。這里不談?wù)渭液驼偷膮^(qū)別,但是評(píng)委這么評(píng)價(jià)是說(shuō)明對(duì)演講風(fēng)格的一種肯定。
Charismatic Statesmanship & Queen’s English(魅力政治家風(fēng)范和女王英語(yǔ))是我給自己理想的風(fēng)格定位,也是我努力的目標(biāo)。
演講風(fēng)格是演講訓(xùn)練的一個(gè)目標(biāo)和境界。就像每一個(gè)都有自己的性格,演講也要有自己的獨(dú)特的風(fēng)格。這不僅是為了比賽中讓評(píng)委印象深刻,更重要是在日后人生無(wú)數(shù)場(chǎng)的演說(shuō)中,讓一個(gè)有鮮明風(fēng)格的演講者愈加被大家熟悉,愈加熟練自己的演講方式和特點(diǎn),更為流暢和自然地發(fā)表演講。我對(duì)演講著迷是始于布萊爾的演講,所以日后都是在模仿政治人物的演說(shuō),他們的手勢(shì),眼神,語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào),還有簡(jiǎn)單但氣勢(shì)磅礴的語(yǔ)言。就像過(guò)去我練習(xí)書法一樣,先是臨摹大家之作,然后摸索形成自己的風(fēng)格,演講也是如此。
我并不建議每個(gè)人都盲目模仿政治家的風(fēng)格,而且不同政治人物的風(fēng)格也大相徑庭。合理的分析和定位,挖掘內(nèi)心的潛質(zhì)才能找到屬于自己的演講風(fēng)格。
正如演講的風(fēng)格不可簡(jiǎn)單復(fù)制,每個(gè)人成功的模式也是絕版,甚至一個(gè)人在不同時(shí)期取得成就的方式也是不一樣的。簡(jiǎn)單的照搬上文的經(jīng)驗(yàn)并不可取,演講之道絕非只此一種道,而是千千萬(wàn)萬(wàn)條道。希望讀者能夠結(jié)合自身的特點(diǎn)和水平,斟酌損益,有所取舍,發(fā)現(xiàn)和發(fā)展屬于你自己的“演講非常道”。
比賽故事:
21世紀(jì)杯和我:五年前的際遇
比賽的整個(gè)歷程有一年之久,但是我和21世紀(jì)杯比賽的故事最遠(yuǎn)可以追溯到2005年。
還在高中時(shí)候的我得到一份有聲雜志《瘋狂英語(yǔ)》,附有兩盤磁帶。除了一個(gè)最后一篇文章2005年冠軍夏鵬的演說(shuō)記憶猶新,雜志的其他內(nèi)容都已經(jīng)忘卻。那是我第一次聽(tīng)到演講比賽的錄音,欽佩有加,震耳發(fā)聵。直到現(xiàn)在我有空還會(huì)重溫。最近一次是我去廣州前,再次放了一遍他的演講。這本雜志靜靜的放在我的桌前的書柜上。
接著是去年,偶然拿到一份21世紀(jì)英文報(bào),2009年4月15日的一期,是去年比賽的報(bào)導(dǎo)。那幾頁(yè)報(bào)紙我依然珍藏到現(xiàn)在,每天放在書包里面,有空就拿出來(lái)翻看。在當(dāng)時(shí)是全憑興趣,可如今手里捧著今年以我為封面的21世紀(jì)英文報(bào),不禁感嘆人生充滿了不可思議。
鼓舞的力量:坦然不失謹(jǐn)慎
比賽前去新馬文化交流,在吉隆坡拜訪父親的朋友——一位馬來(lái)華人。在霓虹燈閃爍的街區(qū),繁華的夜景下,我們靜靜坐在一下德國(guó)餐廳里面,一邊品嘗點(diǎn)心和美酒,一邊輕松的談天。他寫了一本書,名為《分享》,記錄他從商的歷程,從無(wú)到有,從有到意識(shí)到回饋社會(huì)的責(zé)任,他的思想一直在影響我,一個(gè)過(guò)去接受太多教育的華人,如今是清華的校友,出書,開(kāi)博。分享為他的人生創(chuàng)造了新的價(jià)值。
在總決賽上場(chǎng)前,組織人員領(lǐng)著我,路過(guò)走廊,正好碰見(jiàn)父親,那一刻我終生難忘。父親沒(méi)有和我說(shuō)一句話,我也不敢說(shuō),因?yàn)槲疫€處在隔離狀態(tài)。父親只是用堅(jiān)定的目光看著我,我用自信的眼光注視著他。隨后他朝我點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭,目送我離開(kāi)。后來(lái)我獲得冠軍獎(jiǎng)杯后,第一件事情就是接過(guò)主持人的話筒說(shuō)道,父親的到場(chǎng)是我比賽最大的動(dòng)力,謝謝爸爸!老爸是我的福星,21世紀(jì)杯和CCTV杯兩次福建省決賽,父母親臨現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀賽,我順利雙雙獲得省冠軍。這次全國(guó)總決賽,父親利用出差之余來(lái)到現(xiàn)場(chǎng),他無(wú)言的鼓勵(lì)一直激勵(lì)著在臺(tái)上的我,使我更加自信和專注,摘得總冠軍。后來(lái)父親和大家開(kāi)玩笑,他在場(chǎng)一定奪冠,他沒(méi)去北京央視看我比賽,于是我開(kāi)始答非所問(wèn)。即使老爸不厭其煩的教導(dǎo)“無(wú)欲則剛,腳踏實(shí)地”,我不敢完全茍同,不過(guò)每次比賽見(jiàn)到他,都會(huì)格外收斂謹(jǐn)慎。
全國(guó)賽前只有2次正規(guī)的培訓(xùn),每次主任老師都召集8-9位老師來(lái)給我輔導(dǎo),有的注意口音,有的指導(dǎo)文筆,有的負(fù)責(zé)肢體語(yǔ)言。有時(shí)候?yàn)榱艘淮螁卧~的發(fā)音,可以反復(fù)糾正十幾分鐘。每次我都頂著千斤重的壓力,和他們討論,甚至爭(zhēng)論,最后篩選老師們的建議,進(jìn)行修改。雖然老師們非常苛刻,把我批得體無(wú)完膚,但是他們都會(huì)給我鼓勵(lì),告訴我只有強(qiáng)大的內(nèi)心才能扛得住這種魔鬼訓(xùn)練。主任老師對(duì)我一直無(wú)微不至的關(guān)心。我們有著一種獨(dú)特的聯(lián)系方式——對(duì)詩(shī)。在賽前,賽中和賽后都互相寫格律詩(shī)勉勵(lì),在“比賽詩(shī)詞”部分都有摘錄。賦詩(shī)抒懷言志,不僅獲得鼓舞,而且保持一種不以物喜,不以己悲的超然心態(tài)。印象深刻的還有她那句話,“浮華背后是平實(shí)”。一個(gè)人無(wú)論成敗,都要保持一顆謙遜和感恩的心,才能取得長(zhǎng)足的進(jìn)步。
賽前重?。禾旖荡笕?/p>
比賽前兩周,我先是從廈門飛抵北京,然后當(dāng)天和去年CCTV杯比賽的一群朋友直飛新加坡,在新馬前前后后玩了6天,再返回北京參加為期4天的亞洲模聯(lián),猶如空中飛人。新馬熱浪滾滾,北京還是寒風(fēng)刺骨,氣候的極大反差使我嚴(yán)重感冒發(fā)燒。模聯(lián)那幾天是夢(mèng)魘般痛苦,每天熬夜寫稿,還要吃藥養(yǎng)病。愛(ài)模結(jié)束回到廈門修養(yǎng)3天,立即踏上廣州參賽的征程,馬不停蹄。幸運(yùn)的是,來(lái)到羊城廣州,我的病奇跡般的痊愈,精神抖擻也信心倍增。也許是我也算是半個(gè)廣東人吧(籍貫),嶺南的氣候我很適應(yīng),廣州的小吃令我饞涎欲滴,沒(méi)事就和老廣說(shuō)說(shuō)鳥(niǎo)語(yǔ)(粵語(yǔ))。廣州的一切有一種老家的感覺(jué)。于是調(diào)侃,大病康復(fù)是:天將降大任于斯人也,必先苦其心志,勞其筋骨。
比賽趣聞:隔離室的KTV 21世紀(jì)杯整個(gè)賽程近一年,總決賽卻只有3天,強(qiáng)度高,壓力大。不過(guò)期間的逸聞趣事也是非常豐富,尤其在隔離的時(shí)候,除了一些準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間,大家是絞盡腦汁去玩,去放松。
我是一個(gè)不折不扣的社交動(dòng)物,兩次抽簽(半決賽和決賽)都是下午的簽,三種隔離我很不幸地經(jīng)歷了兩次,所以也是想方設(shè)法調(diào)動(dòng)大家的積極性。開(kāi)始是自我介紹,然后玩真心話大冒險(xiǎn),還有殺人游戲,也聊一些輕松話題。我沒(méi)事就拍照:自拍,拍別人,或者攬一群美女帥哥來(lái)合影,欣賞照片令人賞心悅目,豈不樂(lè)哉?我還拿出看家本領(lǐng),把在北京愛(ài)模剛剛學(xué)會(huì)的非洲舞蹈表演給大家,西裝革履地手舞足蹈,足以雷倒全場(chǎng),嘿嘿。
總決賽下午,選手準(zhǔn)備室的氣氛實(shí)在太壓抑,有的選手自言自語(yǔ)抱怨,有的選手一直沖向洗手間,還有的無(wú)聊地翻看報(bào)紙。北外選手郭文納提議大家點(diǎn)歌合唱,她要我點(diǎn)歌,我點(diǎn)歌《我心永恒》,大家也應(yīng)和,于是我們就開(kāi)始現(xiàn)場(chǎng)K歌,沒(méi)有麥克風(fēng),沒(méi)有背景音樂(lè),也沒(méi)有麥霸,大家放聲歌唱。歌詞忘了就跟著哼,跑調(diào)了也附和著,不會(huì)唱就鼓掌打節(jié)拍。就這樣,一首接一首,中文和英文,粵語(yǔ)和國(guó)語(yǔ)。氣氛頓時(shí)變得活躍,輕松,大家唱得十分融洽。
每當(dāng)有一位選手準(zhǔn)備離開(kāi)上場(chǎng),我們都大聲給他/她鼓氣。當(dāng)我準(zhǔn)備離開(kāi)時(shí),大家一起給我歡呼,我甚至一邊走,一邊跳起了“Nobody”,還一邊唱著,我們都開(kāi)懷大笑。
不知不覺(jué),時(shí)間流逝,偌大的房間里面就剩下我和最后一位選手——南京大學(xué)的潘勐。雖然我已經(jīng)講完,但還是給她繼續(xù)唱歌。我說(shuō)自己五音不全,會(huì)唱的歌曲數(shù)目不需要用的腳趾,于是給他我比較拿手,也比較經(jīng)典的《上海灘》。
浪奔,浪流,萬(wàn)里濤濤江水永不休。(粵語(yǔ))
房間里回蕩著我生硬的歌聲,雖然經(jīng)常跑調(diào),忘詞,還是勉強(qiáng)唱完了,她也要準(zhǔn)備上場(chǎng),我提起聲音,大聲說(shuō):加油,加油,你能行!耶!
最后她獲得季軍,我為她感到由衷的喜悅,我一直覺(jué)得她可以榮獲最佳幽默獎(jiǎng)。待續(xù)
21世紀(jì)杯全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽心得——演講非常道(3)
我的老師:Mr.飯,Mr.Fun
指導(dǎo)我的范老師是一位特別風(fēng)趣的人。我們最大的共同愛(ài)好是古文,即使在比賽期間,他每天睡前也會(huì)拿著《古文觀止》朗誦,我則翻著《道德經(jīng)》默讀。他很戀家,每天給老婆煲電話粥,手機(jī)欠費(fèi)就跑的路邊電話亭去打。離開(kāi)廣州前還給老婆和小孩買禮物。我們比賽期間的培訓(xùn)很簡(jiǎn)單,我把講稿說(shuō)一遍,他來(lái)計(jì)時(shí),完了提出建議,他從來(lái)不給我增加額外的任務(wù)和壓力。我倒是會(huì)和他說(shuō)說(shuō)比賽期間的趣聞和八卦,有時(shí)也討論一些政經(jīng)話題。最有趣的是在廣州比賽的賓館用餐,每次米飯是最后上的,所以大家抱怨很多,沒(méi)有飯如何吃菜?范老師常身先士卒,振臂一呼,要飯食!大家稱和范老師一起,就有飯吃。如果有人問(wèn)他您貴姓,他會(huì)指著米飯說(shuō),我叫這個(gè),特逗。所以范老師的綽號(hào)就是:Mr.飯 or Mr.Fun。
酒吧狂歡:人生得意須盡歡
總決賽結(jié)束后,大家爭(zhēng)先恐后地合影,不亦樂(lè)乎。然后都在盤算著如何慶祝,畢竟3天比賽高強(qiáng)度,大多數(shù)人想一起來(lái)放松。一些選手在房間里面玩游戲,聊天,其實(shí)我也曾想去,不過(guò)覺(jué)得還不夠過(guò)癮,于是我和部分人去了酒吧狂歡。在DJ勁爆的音樂(lè)中,一陣陣熱舞,一口口狂飲,一聲聲歡呼。積聚了幾天,甚至幾個(gè)月的壓力得到徹底的釋放??后來(lái)感謝文菁姐和她朋友凌晨三點(diǎn)把我抬回了房間。那時(shí)寂靜的街道上回蕩著我嘶聲力竭地叫喊,直呼過(guò)癮。人生難得幾回搏,人生也難得幾次一醉方休。李白的《將進(jìn)酒》是當(dāng)時(shí)心情最好的寫照:“人生得意須盡歡,莫使金樽空對(duì)月。天生我材必有用,千金散盡還復(fù)來(lái)。”
小蘭來(lái)訪:喜悅 + 感動(dòng)
小蘭的到來(lái)令我喜出望外。不愧是小醫(yī)生啊,給我?guī)?lái)了解酒藥和蘆柑,一時(shí)感動(dòng)不已,不然我還要繼續(xù)嘔吐。服藥后,除了走路在飛,基本恢復(fù)正常。北京一別,我一直后悔走得太過(guò)匆忙,沒(méi)有多和大家道別,廣州重逢,我們談笑風(fēng)生,從酒店一直聊到機(jī)場(chǎng)。告別時(shí),我不停地和她招手,真希望航班推遲,她能帶我嘗遍廣州小吃,玩轉(zhuǎn)羊城。期待我們這群摯友將來(lái)能有緣再聚。
登機(jī)前,我不無(wú)遺憾地感嘆道:再見(jiàn)廣州,I will be right back!(我會(huì)回來(lái)的。)
這次賽事的圓滿結(jié)束,也意味著新的征程的開(kāi)始。
比賽詩(shī)詞
附上比賽期間恩師和我所作的詩(shī)詞,僅作為花絮。
啟程奔赴羊城,賦詩(shī)言志:
久病終愈再征途,養(yǎng)精蓄銳展抱負(fù)。
南征北戰(zhàn)萬(wàn)里塵,羊城一搏競(jìng)逐鹿。
恩師臨別贈(zèng)詩(shī): 春雨潤(rùn)物細(xì)無(wú)聲,遙送愛(ài)徒赴征程。研深覃思通今古,眾師戮力點(diǎn)鯤鵬。
駕乘春風(fēng)上雲(yún)層,萬(wàn)里長(zhǎng)空任鵬程。擎天架海棟樑材,意氣風(fēng)發(fā)冠羊城。
賦詩(shī)二首以靜心:
是無(wú)為,定心廣志,增益無(wú)所不為。
故不爭(zhēng),上善若水,天下莫能與之爭(zhēng)。
心無(wú)欲,色不變,泰然自若抒己見(jiàn)。硝煙滾,群雄現(xiàn),氣定神閑天下先。
小蘭送行,離開(kāi)廣州,賦詩(shī)抒懷:
飛離羊城別小蘭,聚少離多淚相看。石破天驚奪桂冠,激流勇退尋閉關(guān)。
注釋:“淚相看”是懷念新馬旅遊結(jié)束後,大家在北京機(jī)場(chǎng)時(shí)揮淚告別的情景。
恩師賀詩(shī): 唇槍舌劍珠江畔,從容應(yīng)對(duì)盡超然。氣定神閑握勝券,精英何愁不捧冠。
凱旋歸來(lái),賦詩(shī)以淡定:
進(jìn)退之術(shù)然於胸,張弛有度談笑中。寵辱不驚目不瞬,去留無(wú)意心何動(dòng)。
恩師轉(zhuǎn)贈(zèng)一詩(shī)鼓勵(lì)勇退:
手把青秧插滿田,低頭便見(jiàn)水中天。心地清靜方為道,退步原來(lái)是向前。

第五篇:21世紀(jì)杯全國(guó)大學(xué)生英語(yǔ)演講比賽
same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.we are not going to evade that responsibility.we are going to let people down.and people, far and near, will hear of us.frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.(轉(zhuǎn)載于:21世紀(jì)杯全國(guó)大學(xué)生英語(yǔ)演講比賽)21世紀(jì)杯全國(guó)大學(xué)生英語(yǔ)演講稿英語(yǔ)演講稿,英語(yǔ)美文欣賞,英語(yǔ)演講,實(shí)用英語(yǔ),學(xué)生英語(yǔ)演講稿 im grateful that ive been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me.but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, could you please explain this to me? i want very much to do better this time.i started explaining, and finished in a hurry.pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly.nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer.no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldnt forgive myself.i simply couldnt forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, why didnt you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didnt you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret? i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word responsibility and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.later in my life, i continued to experience many failures.but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it.yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who cant even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.probably ill be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.but this doesnt discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, its going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.i cant ever forget that little girl in my class who couldnt had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.we are not going to evade that responsibility.we are going to let people down.and people, far and near, will hear of us.frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.篇三:21世紀(jì)杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽演講稿 目錄

第三屆“21世紀(jì)杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍——梁勵(lì)敏 梁勵(lì)敏
北京外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)
梁勵(lì)敏,生于浙江杭州,畢業(yè)于北京外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué),獲英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言文學(xué)碩士學(xué)位,研究生期間專攻方向?yàn)槊绹?guó)社會(huì)研究。2002年進(jìn)入中央電視臺(tái)英語(yǔ)頻道采訪組工作,所采寫的新聞獲得2003年全國(guó)新聞彩虹獎(jiǎng)二等獎(jiǎng)。
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。crossing the sea 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 his 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 cowhorn-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 peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? todays society, of course, is an entirely different picture.those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.indeed, just take china as an example: our modern life has been influenced by western style of living in so many ways that its no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds 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 nations mentality.just look around.it is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the western culture.but it is not only in china that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.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 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 the 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)不是鐵下篇四:21世紀(jì)杯”全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽歷屆講稿 from walls to bridges 第十屆―21世紀(jì)杯‖全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍——夏鵬 南京大學(xué) 夏鵬原系貴州省平壩縣黎陽(yáng)廠子校學(xué)生,小學(xué)五年級(jí)開(kāi)始進(jìn)入貴陽(yáng)百年英語(yǔ)學(xué)校系統(tǒng)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)。2003年,夏鵬以600分的高分考入南京大學(xué)法學(xué)院,后轉(zhuǎn)入英語(yǔ)系。2004年獲得cctv全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽第二名,同年獲得代表國(guó)內(nèi)最高水平的第十屆―21世紀(jì)杯‖全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍,同時(shí)獲得比賽―最具潛力獎(jiǎng)‖,并代表中國(guó)參加2005年國(guó)際英語(yǔ)演講比賽,榮獲獲得冠軍和―最受觀眾歡迎獎(jiǎng)‖。
