怎样写出一篇好的英语演讲稿,有什么要求吗
无论在学习还是工作中,我们都会接用到各类英语演小到课堂作业和工作,大到会议发言和职位竞选。
那么如何才能打造一篇精彩的英语演讲稿呢
下面笔者就以乔布斯2005年斯坦福大学毕业演讲稿为范本来具体剖析一下英语演讲稿的写作要点,帮助大家了解其基本写作要领。
结构清楚,逻辑清晰 由于公共演讲的听众一般有数十人甚至数百、数千人,再加上演讲环境的不确定性(比如观众的欢呼或者抱怨),演讲者最好在进入主题之后马上给出所讲内容的框架结构,使听众能跟随演讲者的思路,更好地预判整个演讲内容,以达到良好的演讲效果。
比如,乔布斯在2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲中,开篇稍微寒暄之后就进入正题:“Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.”听众马上能对演讲内容做出预判——今天会听到乔布斯谈三点,然后他们会关注具体是哪三点。
这种演讲就具备了“以观众为中心”的特质。
乔布斯在随后的演讲中分别提到,The first story is about connecting the dots.My second story is about love and loss.My third story is about death.由于演讲思路非常明晰,听众在听完之后也会记忆犹新。
当然,演讲稿在结构方面的逻辑顺序有许多种,乔布斯的这篇演讲是按照话题顺序和时间顺序来安排的。
除此之外,还有空间顺序,“提出问题——分析问题——解决问题”的顺序等。
大家可以根据不同演讲内容的需要来安排自己演讲稿的逻辑顺序和整体结构。
开篇出彩,吸引听众 演讲稿的开篇往往需要花费大量的功夫去设计。
在写作开篇时,演讲者需要结合听众特点、演讲场合和演讲主题等因素,争取在一开始就紧紧抓住听众的注意力和兴趣。
下面笔者就介绍一下基本的演讲开篇模式,供大家以后写作演讲稿参考。
演讲稿开篇的目的是吸引听众。
乔布斯在他的演讲稿开篇使用的是“关联话题与听众”的方式。
这是一种比较有效的方法,因为人们一般对自己的事情都很关注,和自己相关的事情也会格外留意。
乔布斯在演讲开篇说道:I am honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college. And this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.高度赞美斯坦福大学——这就是在与听众发生关联。
乔布斯就是通过这种方式让听众一开始就对自己产生好感或对自己的演讲内容产生兴趣。
当然,乔布斯还用了适当的幽默,更好地融洽了与听众的关系。
除了乔布斯的这种开篇方式外,我们还需要了解和掌握其他一些开篇方式:①指出演讲话题的重要性。
比如要做一场关于“英语演讲的艺术”的演讲,演讲者在一开始就可以指出该演讲对于听众今后的学习、工作将会有很大帮助,甚至可以给出一些数据和实例,让听众明白不听这个演讲将会是一个损失,这样听众就会乐于认真听演讲了。
②使听众感到震惊。
例如要做一场关于“生活方式与疾病”的演讲,开篇就可以给出一组极具冲击力的数据,让听众看到生活方式不健康将会产生多么可怕的后果,这样的震惊能够使听众快速调整状态,投入到听演讲中去。
③引起听众的好奇心。
演讲者可以在开篇指出一种特别的现象,听众出于好奇就会认真听演讲,想知道演讲者如何分析或解释。
④向观众提问。
演讲者可以在开篇提出一个问题,这样可以引发听众的思考,也会引导他们去听演讲者如何解答问题。
此外,也可以在开篇引用一段名言,或是讲述一个故事等,这些基本的开篇方式被无数的演讲证明是实用而且有效的。
观点明确,支撑有效 毫无疑问,在演讲稿中,主体段的信息量最大,写作量也最大。
如何清晰地阐释演讲者的观点或演讲要点,如何用相关事实有效地支撑演讲者的各个论点或要点,是演讲稿主体段写作时应该把握的关键。
乔布斯在斯坦福大学的毕业演讲中明确给出了三个要点:① The first story is about connecting the dots. ② My second story is about love and loss. ③ My third story is about death.为了清晰、有效地阐述自己想要表达的这三个要点,他运用了以下三种手段:首先是举例子。
乔布斯在演讲中用了大量的事例来说明他怎么对待学习、工作和死亡。
比如他说自己读书时旁听有意思的书法课程,这些课在当时对他没什么实质帮助,但是十年后在当他设计第一款Macintosh电脑的时候,这些东西全派上了用场,这个例子充分说明了他演讲的第一个要点——串起生命中的点滴。
另一个手段是引用。
乔布斯在演讲中引用了一些名言警句来阐述自己的观点。
比如在讲到死亡时,他引用了一句格言:“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.”这句话表明了他对于生命和死亡的看法,使听众印象深刻。
第三个手段是数据支持。
在讲第二个故事——关于爱和失去时,乔布斯用了一系列数据来支撑自己的观点。
他说自己是幸运的,因为Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation—the Macintosh—a year earlier, and I'd just turned 30.数据很直观,能让听众更直接地认识和理解演讲内容。
结尾有“道”,画龙点睛 演讲的结尾往往需要起到“画龙点睛”的作用,要尽量做到意味深长、启发思考。
开篇和正文再好,如果结尾过于平淡,整个演讲的精彩程度也会大打折扣。
那么如何做到结尾有“道”呢
首先我们来看看乔布斯的这篇演讲稿,他的结尾比开篇更加出彩,采用的是“引文结尾”的方式,达到了引人深思的效果。
他在结尾说道:Stewart and his team put out several issues of the Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words 'Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.' It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.乔布斯不仅在演讲结尾引用了这句Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish(求知若渴,虚怀若谷),而且重复三遍,强化了听众的印象。
这句话后来也被广泛传播,被誉为该篇演讲的精髓。
除了乔布斯这种“引文结尾”的方式,常见的演讲结尾方式还有如下几种:①总结演讲。
对演讲中的各个论点或要点进行简单总结和梳理,加深听众的印象。
②强有力的陈述。
这种方式不同于引用他人之言,往往是演讲者自己的总结和心声。
一个非常经典的例子是Patrick Henry的演讲“Liberty or Death”。
他在结尾时说道:“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery
Forbid it, Almighty God
I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death
”③首尾呼应。
在演讲结尾对开篇提到的主题和重点进行重新阐述,这是体现演讲内在统一性的经典形式,值得借鉴。
为了更加有效地掌握文中讲到的写作演讲稿的要点,笔者建议大家做到以下三点:①多看。
多看一些演讲素材,比如名人演讲、演讲比赛优秀选手的演讲等,积累大量的一手素材;也有必要阅读一些关于英语公共演讲的书籍,笔者在此推荐Stephen E. Lucas的《演讲的艺术》(The Art of Public Speaking)一书。
②多想。
学会分析这些演讲之所以精彩的原因,可以从笔者上面讲的几点入手分析。
③多练。
在有了一定的积累之后,要大量练习写作演讲稿,话题可以从日常学习和工作中选取,这样练习起来会更有兴趣和成就感。

英语的重要性(演讲稿)
为什么要学习英语一、英语是当今世界上主要的国际通用语言。
从全世界来看,说英语的人数已经超过了任何语言的人数,10多个国家以英语为母语,45个国家的官方语言是英语,世界三分之一的人口(二十几亿)讲英语。
比如在日本,除了他们的本国母语——日语之外,英语是他们的第二语言,很多高层次的日本人以会说英语为荣;二、英语的使用范围非常广泛。
全世界75%的电视节目是英语,四分之三的邮件是用英语书写,电脑键盘是英语键盘,任何一个会议敢号称是国际会议,其会议工作语言一定要用英语,也是联合国的正式工作语言。
我们看到,很多官方的、政府性质的活动、文件、交流方式都使用英语。
外贸行业也把英语作为通用语言,外贸交往、国际礼仪、书信函电、进出口文件、还有银行文件语言等等,统统以英语作为标准通用语言。
大多数国家的高等学府,大学院校,都开设英语语言文学专业,仅在中国,就有一百多所大学设有英语专业或英语相关专业。
电脑和互联网,也是建立在英语的基础上,这个行业的语言,就是英语。
此外,在医学领域、建筑领域、文学领域,都与英语有极大的关联。
三、国家发展和国际合作需要英语中国在近几十年的确发生了翻天覆地的变化,各方面都发展得很快。
但是,不容置疑的是,我们在很多技术方面仍然落后于西方先进国家。
要发展,要进步,要在较短的时间内掌握各种技术,我们不可能单靠自己搞研究,必须学习发达国家先进的技术,而学习的必要前提便是要掌握世界通用技术交
英文演讲稿
帮你找几篇1. Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it. First I want to ask you some questions: 1、 Do you know what is youth? 2、 How do you master your youth?Youth Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life . Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust . Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young . When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80. Thank you! 2.Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a growth. If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for me. When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job. ?? Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future. ?? How to say future? Maybe it’s a nice wish. Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life. 中文大意:女士们,先生们,上午好。
我很高兴在这里为大家作一个简短的讲话。
人的一生是一个成长的过程,事实上,我现在站在这里也是一次成长。
如果一个人的一生必须面临不同的选择,那么我就是伴随着这些选择成长起来的。
曾经我盼望将来能上大学,然而那已经过去了,现在我在这儿,只想知道我的未来会是什么样的。
当我来到这所学校,我告诉我自己:我不久的将来都从这里开始。
接着我要学习如何做人,如何做一个正直的人,并且拥有一个健康的体魄,能承担重要的任务,能独立思考,思想开放,心思缜密,有判断是非的能力,有一份不错的工作。
我的老师曾经告诉我说:“你不是在修补而是在创造;永远不要忘记你向人们所展示的是你的思想,而不是你的手艺。
”我会将我的性格,兴趣爱好和能力一起融入到学习中去。
在这过程中,我边学习边实践。
如果我能实现这个“未来”,我就认为我真的成长了。
并且我深信我的亲人,好朋友以及爱会使我的未来更完美,更幸福。
如何来解释未来呢? 也许那只是一个美好的愿望。
让我们下定决心,坚持到底,那我们的人生一定能过得很精彩。
3 My Definition of Success “Once upon a time, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince... Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line And they live happily every after.Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term success, to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.Thank you.译文:成功之我见 “很久以前,有个国王,他的女儿貌美如花。
老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战,而每一项任务都异常艰巨,几乎不可能完成。
一天,来了一位年轻英俊的王子……”好了,下面的故事你们都知道了。
三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同,但关键部分的情节都如出一辙:王子成功地过关,得到了公主的芳心。
而故事的结局也都一样,最后一句都写道:“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想,因为它是典型的成功的例子。
故事的思想性很强,具有代表性。
通过故事带给我们的启示,我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一,目标的设定,有如故事里美丽的公主;第二,所遇到的困难和挑战,就像三大任务;第三,克服困难的过程,故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四,就是成功的果实,如同幸福的婚姻。
这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往,也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。
如果通往成功的道路崎岖曲折,那么成功的回报必然硕果累累,反之亦然。
如果一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足,那么,即使在物质上,他也不能算是个成功人士,因为,他的财富并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。
确切地说,“成功”这个词,不是个静态简单的定义。
在我的理解中,真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。
请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。
如果我们试着改变足球的比赛规则,将球门放得很大,换下大卫·希曼或其他任何的守门员,这样,随便哪个“大卫”,比如说,“大卫·贝克汉姆”,就可以轻松进球,然而这样进一球却不能给他带来成功的震颤与喜悦。
如果我们再改一改比赛规则,不让阿森纳队的防守来守门,那么,贝克汉姆只要动动手,其实就是抬抬脚就能进一球,那样的话、,实际上也没有什么比赛可言了,因为赢球的意义已经不存在了。
在接受挑战、克服困难和经历磨难的过程中,“成功”的价值才得以丰满。
取得成果的意义和所克服的艰难的程度成正比。
所谓成功的概念不是一成不变的.而昙相对而言的,因为困难的性质也是相对意义上的。
正常人不费力气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说也许相当困难。
获得了同正常人一样的能力,这个残疾人就获得了成功。
这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的原因—虽然行动不便,受到了轮椅的限制,他依然为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。
就我自己而言,生性羞涩,容易怯场,不得不鼓起非常大的勇气来参加此次的演讲比赛。
我完全可以待在一边,不参加大学级别的比赛,而落得轻松自在。
可是,我还是选择了接受这一挑战来面对困难。
现在我来了,如果我能够得第一的话.这对我来说就是巨大的成功。
如果,我是最后一名—我希望情况不是这样—但如果我真的是最后一名,我也不会认为这次的尝试是一次失败,反而我要把它当作一次真正的成功来庆贺,因为我一部分的目标是对自己性格的锻炼—更加坚强、勇敢地面对困难。
对我来说,这标志着我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前迈进了一步,尽管是很小的一步,但是我确实通过参与真正地获得了收益。
回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对“成功”的四步骤定义上吧,您也许已经注意到了财富、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及,相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。
古代的智慧已经对成功的意义下了定义,这也是我的定义。
谢谢!
一篇英语演讲稿
前边是中文的,后面是英文的中英文都是对应的,你随便找一段就行感 恩 教 育 演 讲 稿各位老师、同学们:大家好
今天很高兴有机会和大家在一起聊一聊当下倡导并受到人们广为关注的感恩教育。
究竟什么是感恩教育呢
我们曾被哪些事情感动过
这次高二年级语文月考卷中有一篇文章,题目是“假如今天是我生命中的最后一天”,我觉得这个题目很好,于是在班级中作了一个调查:假如今天是我们生命中的最后一天,你会做哪些事情
台下发言较为涌跃:有的就说,我们要好好地吃一顿,有的说要好好地玩,还有的说什么都不做……各种答案五花八门。
这时候我想起以前看到过的一篇报导:一位母亲陪同儿子参加高考,儿子在教室里考试,母亲在外面守侯。
因为天气太热,气温过高,不久这位母亲便中暑倒在了地上,被路人送到了医院。
在医院,母亲一直没有苏醒过来,令众多医生束手无策,最后还一个护士想到一个好点子,在母亲的耳边轻轻地说 “高考结束了”。
话还没说完,母亲便坐立起来,大声地说“我得赶紧问问我儿子考得怎么样
”在这个生死关头,母亲心里牵挂的仍是正在考试的儿子。
这是一种多么伟大的母爱啊,她永远把儿子放在了第一位,因为关心儿子,而忽略了自己的一切,甚至是生命。
我相信各位同学的家长在遇到这种情况的时候,也同样会为你们付出的,因为你是她的孩子。
他们爱你,她们关心你胜过自己的生命。
可是同学们,你们又有多少人是把父母放在第一位的呢
不少同学总是不断地报怨自己的父母这样不好,那样不对,对父母的行为和做法挑三拣四,横加指责,甚至于直接与父母顶撞
有些同学不知道自己父母身体的健康状况,不记得自己父母的生日,有的连自己父母的工作单位在哪都不知道,想想看,父母为你们付出那么多精力和心血,扪心自问,你关心过他们吗
你为你们的父母做过什么呢
如果什么也没做过的话,那又有什么理由去指责你们的父母呢
对待自己的父母尚且如此,又怎么敢奢望你们会善待你们的老师和朋友呢
国家有难,又怎么敢指望你为他抛头胪洒热血呢
如果人人都是这么自私自利的话,社会哪里还会有温情呢
如果我们生活在这个失去温情的世界,那么我们活着又有什么意义呢
光靠喊口号是没有任何用处的,我们应该用我们实际的行动来关爱我们的父母
同学们,我想说,假如今天是我生命中的最后一天,我们要做的第一件事情,就是报答养我育我的父母
为他们献出自己的一份爱心。
还有一篇报导,一位不识字的母亲劳作了大半辈子,买了一副银手镯,很是珍爱,成天戴在手上舍不得摘下。
有一次她去城里看望他正在读高三的儿子,儿子惊奇地发现母亲手上的手镯不见了,便问他母亲手镯去哪了,母亲笑盈盈地掏出一个蓝布包,说:“娘用这副手镯给你换回来两本“天书”,这回俺娃考大学可是有希望啦
”看着母亲充满笑意的脸,儿子感到很惊奇,这个世界上哪有保证能考上大学的“天书”啊
社会上的骗子这么多,该不会是上当受骗了吧
接过布包,层层打开,果然,那两本所谓的“天书”,不过是两本小学课本罢了。
儿子一急,准备说出真相,希望找到骗子挽回损失。
可是当他看到母亲满脸的皱纹和充满希望的双眼的时候,儿子放弃了。
他实在不忍心告诉他母亲这个残酷的事实,柔弱的母亲将受不了这样致命的打击
于是便笑着告诉母亲:“娘,你回去吧,我记下啦
一定考好”
望着母亲渐渐离去的瘦小背影,儿子哭了,哭得很伤心,回去后,儿子便把这个充满爱意的“天书”摆放在最显眼的位置,让它激励自己。
半年后的高考,儿子获得了前所未有的成功,北京的一所重点大学录取了他,他从此踏上了人生的正轨。
爱其实就是我们的身边,我们并不缺少爱,缺少的只是发现它的双眼。
每天早晨睁开双眼,我都会庆幸,今天我还活着,活着是多么地美好,世界上每天发生那么多的灾难和不幸,却没有一件落在我的头上,我活得很快乐。
什么是幸福
想起非洲那么多的难民,突然懂得了吃得饱其实也是一种幸福。
比起那么先天性残疾或是智障,我们的父母给了我们健全的肢体和聪明的大脑,这也是一种幸福。
那些天生残疾的人尚且没有埋怨老天的残忍和不公,仍然为了能够更好地生存而在不断地奋斗着,那么拥有健全的肢体,聪明大脑的我们,又有什么理由去怨天尤人呢
记得我读中学的时候,爆发了美伊战争和轰炸南联盟事件。
看着电视新闻里每天不断变化的战况,我感到很庆幸,庆幸的是我身在强大的中国,而非伊拉克或是南联盟,我们的国家保证着我的生命和财产不受外敌的侵害,我用不着成天提防着导弹的袭击。
路上遇到人民警察的时候,我会感到特别地亲切,因为是他们用辛劳维护了整个社会的稳定和安宁,让我不必担心歹徒的肆意侵挠。
努力吧,同学们,为了我们国家的更加繁荣和富强,为了我们的母亲的强健和安康,努力吧
我相信,只要我们都能够尽我们的全力了,即便不能取得成功,我们也将无悔
谢谢大家
(2)感恩的心(演讲稿)首先我要感谢今天让我能够站在这里参加此次活动的所有的人,包括我自己。
我今天演讲的题目是《感恩的心》。
有人说,忘记感恩是人的天性。
当我们偶然来到这个世界上,什么都还没来得及做的时候,我们就已经开始享受前人带给我们物质和精神上的一切成果了。
这就提醒着我们每一个人,要怀有一颗感恩的心。
怀有一颗感恩的心,才更懂得尊重。
尊重生命、尊重劳动、尊重创造。
怀着感恩的心,一代伟人在古稀之年说:“我是中国人民的儿子,我深深的爱着我的祖国和人民
”怀着感恩的心,诗人艾青在他的诗中写到:“为什么我的眼中饱含泪水,因为我对这片土地爱得深沉。
”听说过一个人向树道歉的故事吗
听说过所有正在行驶的汽车为狗让路的故事吗
这些真实的故事,感动于人对生命的关爱,感动于人对生命的尊重。
当我们每天享受着清洁的环境时,我们要感谢那些保洁工作者;当我们迁入新居时,我们要感谢那些建筑工人;当我们出行,要感谢司机……懂得感谢,就会以平等的眼光看待每一个生命,重新看待我们身边的每个人,尊重每一份平凡普通的劳动,也更加尊重自己。
怀有一颗感恩的心,才更能体会到自己的职责。
在现代社会每个人都有自己的职责、自己的价值。
当2004感动中国十大人物之一的徐本禹走上银幕时,人性的善良再一次被点燃,这个原本该走入研究生院的大学生,却义无返顾的从繁华的城市走进了大山。
这一平凡的壮举刺痛了每一个人的眼睛,也点燃了每一个人内心未燃的火种。
而让他做出这一抉择的理由很简单:怀着一颗感恩的心。
徐本禹用他感恩的心,为大山里的孩子铺就了一条爱的道路,点燃了贫穷和希望,完成了他的职责,实现了他的人生价值。
怀有一颗感恩的心,不是简单的忍耐与承受,更不是阿Q,而是以一种宽宏的心态积极勇敢的面对人生。
我相信,最温暖的日子来自寒冷,我更相信,最温暖其实是对寒冷的一种谅解,一种感恩中的感动。
一个人要学会感恩,对生命怀有一颗感恩的心,心才能真正快乐。
一个人没有了感恩,心就全部都是空的。
“羊有跪乳之恩”,“鸦有反哺之恩”, “赠人玫瑰,手有余香”,“执子之手,与子偕老,”这些都因怀有一颗感恩的心,才芬芳馥郁,香泽万里。
所以我要感谢你,我生命中往来的路人,让我懂得淡来淡去才不牵累于心灵,感谢有你,来来去去,我都会珍惜;感谢你,我生命中所有的师长,让我懂得知识的宝贵,感谢有你,岁岁年年,我都会铭记;感谢你,我生命中至亲至密的朋友,快乐有你分享,悲伤有你倾听,感谢有你,忙忙碌碌,我都不会忘记;感谢你,我至真至爱的亲人,在岁月途中,静静的看护着我,挡风遮雨,让我在被爱的幸福中也学会了如何去爱他人,感谢有你,日日夜夜,我都留在心里。
感谢日升日落,感谢快乐伤痛,感谢天空大地,感谢天上所有的星星,感谢生活,感谢得到和失去的一切,以及无所得无所失的一切的一切,让我在草长莺飞的季节里拈起生命的美丽
我的朋友们,让我们怀着感恩的心面向世界吧
让我们怀着感恩的心对待我们的生活吧
只要我们对生活充满感恩之心,充满希望与热情,我们的社会就会少一些指责与推诿,多一些宽容与理解,就会少一些争吵与冷漠,多一些和谐与温暖,就会少一些欺瞒与涣散,多一些真诚与团结,我们的精神家园将永远年轻……最后,让我们一起再来静静地聆听这首《感恩的心》吧:感恩的心,感谢有你,伴我一生,让我有勇气做我自己,感恩的心,感谢命运,花开花落,我一样珍惜。
我今天的演讲到此结束,谢谢大家
Thanksgiving education speechTeachers, students:Good!I am very pleased to have the opportunity to chat with the current widely advocated and are concerned about the education of Thanksgiving. What is Thanksgiving education? We have been touched off what? High grade on the language papers in an article entitled If my life today is the last day, I think this topic very well, so in the class made a survey: If today is the last of our lives One day, what would you do? The audience to speak : Some say, we have to eat a good meal, and some said that a good play, there is nothing to say ... ... a variety of answers to a wide variety. At this time I am reminded of the past seen a report: a mother accompanied her son to participate in college entrance examination, and the son in the classroom examination, the mother守侯outside. Because the weather is too hot, the temperature is too high, and soon the mother would heat stroke fell on the ground, the passers-by to the hospital. In the hospital, the mother has not regained consciousness, so that doctors at a loss, a nurse finally came up with a good idea, in the mother's ear gently say the end of the college entrance examination. If not yet finished, the mother would sit up and loudly said, I hastened to ask how my son's test?! In this life and death, the mother was still concerned about being the son of the examination. This is how great a love, ah, she always put her son on the first, as concerned about his son, to the neglect of everything, even life. I am sure that parents of students at a time when this happens, you will also pay for, because you are her children. They love you, they care about you more than their own lives.But the students, how many people you are the parents of this first? Always a lot of students complained to their parents this well, as wrong, for the acts and practices parents choosy, to accuse, or even directly contradict with their parents! Some students do not know their own physical health status of parents, parents do not remember their birthday, and some even their own parents in the work units which do not know, to think of it, parents pay so much for your energy and effort to ask, are you concerned about the have them? You have your parents done? If nothing done, then what reason to blame your parents? Treat their parents like this, how dare you expect you will treat the teachers and friends? Countries are difficult, how dare he expect you blood throw it onto the first group of people? If everyone is so selfish, the community where it will be warm? If we lose the warmth of life in this world, then we live, what significance does it have? Slogans alone is of no use, we should use our practical action to care for our parents! Students, I want to say, if today is my last day of life, we are the first thing to do is to return education to take care of me my parents! For they give their love.There is a report, one can not read the lives of mothers work, bought a pair of silver bracelets, was a treasure, all day long in the hands of reluctant to wear off. On one occasion she went to town to visit his son读高三, son surprised to find her mother gone hand bracelets, bracelets asked his mother where the mother took out a wide smile to a blue cloth, said: The mother Using this pair of bracelets for you to come back for two Book, this time she took the university entrance exam but I hope you! looked at his mother's face full of smile, his son was very surprised, how in the world guaranteed to university the Book ah? The community so many of the swindlers, the deception is not it? Take over the cloth, layers of open, really, that two so-called Double Dutch, but only two of primary school textbooks. Son of a radical, ready to tell the truth, to restore the lost hope of finding liar. But when he saw his mother's wrinkled face and eyes full of hope when his son to give it up. He can not bear to tell his mother the fact that this brutal, weak mother will not stand such a blow! Then smiled and told his mother: Mother, you go back, I take note of it! Necessarily a good test! Gradually leave the mother looked at the little background, my son cried, cried very sad, to go back later, then the loving son of the Book placed in the most prominent position, let it motivate themselves. Exam after six months, his son was an unprecedented success, a focus on Beijing's University of him, since he set foot on the right track of life.In fact, love is around us, we do not lack love, but found it missing eyes. Open your eyes every morning, I will be glad, I was still alive, how life is beautiful, the world daily so many disasters and misfortunes, but no one fell on my head, I live a very happy . What is happiness? Reminds me of so many refugees in Africa and suddenly know how to eat in fact a kind of happiness. Then compared with congenital disabilities or mental retardation, our parents gave us a sound physical and smart brain, which is a blessing. Those born with disabilities who did not even complain about the cruel and unjust God, still to be better able to survive in a constant struggle, then a sound body, we have smart brain, what grounds does the blame on others? I remember high school when the war broke out in the incident and the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Watched television news every day fighting the ever-changing, I feel very fortunate, fortunate that I was in a strong China, rather than the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or Iraq, our country to ensure that my life and property damage from foreign I do not need all day to beware of the missile attacks. Encountered by the People's Police on the road, I feel particularly warm, because it is hard to maintain them throughout the social stability and peace, let me not have to worry about who's wanton invasion scratch. It up, students, and to our country more prosperous and strong, for our strong and well-being of mothers, it up! I believe that as long as we can all do our best, and if not successful, we will have no reason to regret!Thank you!(2)Grateful Heart (speech)First of all I would like to thank today so that I can stand here and to participate in the activities of all people, including myself. My speech today is entitled the heart of Thanksgiving.It has been said that people forget is the nature of Thanksgiving. When we came to this world by chance, not too late to do anything, we had already started to bring us to enjoy our predecessors in all material and spiritual results. This is to remind every one of us, it is necessary to have a heart of Thanksgiving.Have a grateful heart, know how to respect it more. Respect for life, respect for labor, respect for creation. Thanksgiving with the hearts of a generation in the age of Deng Xiaoping said: I am the son of the Chinese people, I deeply love my motherland and the people! Thanksgiving with the heart, in his poem Ai Qing wrote: Why is my eyes full of tears, because I am Shen land. heard of a person to apologize to the tree of the story? Heard of all dogs in vehicles to make way for the story? These real stories of people touched by the love of life, moved in respect of life. When we enjoy every day a clean environment, we would like to thank those cleaning workers; when we moved into a new home, we would like to thank those of construction workers; when we travel, would like to thank ... ... know how to thank the drivers, it will equal look at each and every life, a fresh look at everyone around us, respect for each ordinary general labor, but also greater respect for themselves.Have a grateful heart, only to better understand their duties. In modern society everyone has their own responsibilities, their own value. When in 2004 China moved one of the top ten of Xu Yu onto the screen, the kind of human nature was ignited once again, this was the college students into the graduate school, but from the bustling city into the mountains. This extraordinary feat stung everyone's eyes, everyone has ignited the fire inside unburned. And let him make the reasons for this choice is simple: with a grateful heart. Yu Xu this Thanksgiving with his heart, for the children of the mountains and a love of paved roads, set fire to the poor and hope to complete his duties, the realization of the value of his life.Have a grateful heart, and patience is not a simple subject, nor the Arab-Israeli Q, but the mentality of a generous and courageous to face life positively. I believe that the most warmth from the cold days, I believe that the most warm and the cold fact is a kind of understanding, of moving a Thanksgiving. A person to learn how to Thanksgiving, have a Thanksgiving for the life of the heart, the heart can be truly happy. Thanksgiving is not a person of the heart on all empty. Milk of the sheep have to kneel en, feeding of TU have crow, gifts were roses, there are hand, son of the hands of bailiffs, These are due to have a heart of thanksgiving before Fenfang fragrance, Ze Xiang Wan.Therefore, I would like to thank you, my life between the passers-by, let me know how to short to tie faded not only in the soul, and grateful for you, come and go, I will treasure; thank you, my life all the teachers, so that I know the valuable knowledge, grateful for you, year after year, I will bear in mind; thank you, loved ones in my life to close friends, happy to have you share your sorrow to listen, grateful for you, busy, I will not forget; thank you, I really loved to loved ones, in the years to come his way, quietly look after me,遮雨wind, so I also loved the well-being of learned how to love others, grateful for you, day and night, I stay in my heart.Thanks to the rising sun, thanks to a happy pain, thanks to the sky the earth, thanks to all the stars in heaven, thanks to life, thanks to access to and lost everything, and without any loss of income of all of all, let me in the long grass flying Orioles拈起season the beauty of life!My friends, let us hearts with gratitude for the world now! Let us treat the heart with gratitude in our lives it! As long as we live is full of thanksgiving for the heart, full of hope and passion, our world would be less blame and shift responsibility onto others, a little more tolerance and understanding, will be less bickering and indifference, more harmony and warmth, will be less fool with the slack, a little more good faith and unity, our spiritual home will always be young ... ...Finally, let us come together to listen quietly to the song Grateful Heart now: the heart of Thanksgiving, grateful for you, with my life, let me have the courage to do so myself, the heart of Thanksgiving, thanks to the fate of the flowers bloom, I like to cherish.I end today's speech, thank you!

迎奥运英语演讲稿New Beijing, the Three-Colored New Olympics Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Bidding for the Olympic Games is, in a way, an image-creating undertaking. The first and foremost thing is to let people fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by its unique image. What image does Beijing intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity to host the 2008 Olympics? It is known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government has already set the theme for the future games: New Beijing, Great Olympics. For me, the 2008 Olympics will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two more special colors: yellow and red. First, yellow is a meaningful color. The Yellow River is China’s mother river and the cradle of Chinese civilization. We are of the yellow race and descendants of the Yellow Emperor. This color has a special origin and great significance for the Chinese people. Beijing is the capital of New China and previously the capital for nine dynasties in Chinese history. So, yellow will naturally add splendor to the 2008 Games. Secondly, the 2008 Olympics will be a red pageant. Red is another traditionally cherished color for the whole country. We adore red. On big occasions, we like to decorate our homes in red. It is the color of double happiness, representing joyous moments, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity. Red is one of the most suitable colors to describe the future of Beijing. Beijing, together with the whole country, is becoming more and more prosperous in the process of modernization. Above all, the 2008 Olympics will be a green Olympics. Adding the green ingredient is essential in creating an appealing image, as we can’t deny the fact that Beijing, at the moment, is not as green a city as what we like it to be. Striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of Beijing. Big efforts have been made in pollution control, replanting and beautification of the city. Certainly, all of this is no easy task. But I am sure that all of us have confidence that we will realize these green goals. For now we have the full support and participation of the environmentally conscious citizens. Each citizen is showing great concern for every one of the steps the city government takes. As the saying goes, “United, we stand,” and a green Beijing will be achieved. When our aspiration becomes reality, it will be a unique Olympics. New Beijing, Great Olympics will be weaved of these three superb colors: yellow, red and green. Let us welcome it and look forward to it! Thank you! 08、新北京,三色新奥运 女士们、先生们,下午好。
申办奥运会从某种角度上说是一个塑造形象的工程。
首先要着手做的第一件事,也是最重要的事情就是让人们对这个城市一见钟情,以城市自己独特的形象吸引他们。
一旦北京成为二零零八年奥运会的主办城市,她会为自己塑造一个什么样的形象呢
众所周知,北京市政府已经为未来的这届运动会设立了主题:新北京,新奥运。
对我来说,二零零八年奥运会将会是一次绿色的奥林匹克盛事,与之交相辉映的更有另外两种特别的颜色--黄色和红色。
首先,黄色是一种意味深长的颜色。
黄河是中国的母亲河,是中华文化明的发源地。
我们是黄种人,是炎黄子孙。
这种颜色对中国人民来说有着特殊的根源和重要的意义。
北京既是新中国的首都,也是中国历史上九朝之都。
所以,黄色自然会为二零零八年的奥林匹克运动会增添光彩。
其次,二零零八年的奥林匹克运动会将是一次红色的盛会。
红色是中国人民珍爱的另一种传统颜色。
我们喜欢红色,在重大节日里,我们喜爱用红色来装饰我们的家。
红是双喜临门的颜色,象征着快乐的时刻、吉祥、热情和繁荣。
红色是一种用来描述未来北京的最适合的颜色之一。
北京和祖国一起在现代化的进程中正不断迈向繁荣富强。
最重要的是,二零零八年的奥林匹克运动会将会是一届绿色的奥运会。
要塑造一个吸引人的形象,加入绿色是十分必要的,因为我们不能否认北京目前并非一个让我们满意的绿色城市这一事实。
努力成为一个环境喜人的城市已经成为北京市民的中心任务。
这个城市在控制污染、植树种花和美化方面都作了相当大的努力。
当然,这可不是一个简单的任务。
但我坚信我们有信心实现这些绿色目标,因为我们有具备环保意识的市民的全力支持和参与。
每个市民都在热切关注市政府采取的每一个措施。
俗话说得好,“团结力量大”,绿色的北京一定能成为现实。
当我们的期望变成现实,那将是一届独特的奥运会。
“新北京,新奥运”将会由黄、红、绿这三种绚丽的颜色共同编织而成。
让我们期望并欢迎它的到来
谢谢
英语演讲稿
I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that could never pay a mortgage, or secure a pension.当时,我只想去写小说。
但是,我的父母出身贫寒,没有受过大学教育。
他们认为,我那些不安分的想象力只是一种怪癖,根本不能用来还房贷,或者挣来养老金。
They had hoped that I would take a vocational degree; I wanted to study English Literature. A compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages. Hardly had my parents’ car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor.他们希望我再去读个专业学位,而我想去攻读英国文学。
最后,达成了一个双方都不甚满意的妥协:我改学外语。
可是等到父母一走开,我立刻报名学习古典文学。
I cannot remember telling my parents that I was studying Classics; they might well have found out for the first time on graduation day. Of all subjects on this planet, I think they would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology when it came to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.我不记得将这事告诉了父母。
他们可能是在毕业典礼那一天才发现的。
我想,在全世界的所有专业中,他们也许认为,不会有比研究希腊神话更没用的专业了,根本无法换来一间独立的宽敞卫生间。
I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view. ... I cannot criticise my parents for hoping that I would never experience poverty. They had been poor themselves, and I have since been poor, and I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools. 我要申明,我并不责怪父母。
……他们只是希望我不要过穷日子,我不能批评他们。
他们自己很穷,我后来一度也很穷,所以我很理解他们,贫穷是一种悲惨的经历。
它带来恐惧、压力、有时还有抑郁。
它意味着许许多多的羞辱和艰辛。
靠自己的努力摆脱贫穷,确实让人自豪,但是只有傻瓜才会将贫穷本身浪漫化。
接着,她谈到了自己那些最悲惨的日子:A mere seven years after my graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale. 我毕业后只过了7年,就失败得一塌糊涂。
An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew. 短命的婚姻闪电般地破裂,我还失业了,成了一个艰难的单身母亲。
除了流浪汉,我是当代英国最穷的人之一,真的一无所有。
我父母对我的担忧,我对自己的担忧,都变成了现实。
用平常人的标准,我是我所知道的最失败的人。
That period of my life was a dark one. I had no idea how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.那段日子是我生命中的黑暗岁月。
我不知道还要在黑暗中走多久,很长一段时间中,我有的只是希望,而不是现实。
但是,J.K. 罗琳认为,没有那段日子的失败,就不会有后来的她。
So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. 为什么我说失败是有好处的
因为失败将那些非本质的东西都剥离了。
我不再伪装自己,我找到了真正的我,我将自己所有的精力,投入完成对我最重要的唯一一项工作。
Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. 要是我以前在其他地方成功了,那么我也许永远不会有这样的决心,投身于这个我自信真正属于我的领域。
I was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.我自由了,因为我最大的恐惧已经成为现实,而我却还依然活着,依然有一个深爱着的女儿,我还有一台旧打字机和一个大大的梦想。
我生命中最低的低点,成为我重建生活的坚实基础。
Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above rubies. 失败使我的内心产生一种安全感,以前通过考试也没有的安全感。
失败让我看清自己,以前我从没认识到自己是这样的。
我发现,我比自己以为的,有更强的意志和决心。
我还发现,我有一些比宝石更珍贵的朋友。
You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.只有到逆境来临的那一天,你才会真正了解你自己,了解你结识的人。
这种了解是真正的财富,虽然是用痛苦换来的,但是它比我以前得到的任何证书都有用。
在演说的下半部分,她还谈了毕业后在大*赦*国*际(Amnesty International)伦敦总部的第一份工作。
这部分内容也很精彩,不过我就不翻译了,大家可以去看原文。
三、我要重点谈的,是演说的结尾部分。
一般来说,在演讲结束时,嘉宾将对毕业生提出期望。
我们可以看到,在这种场合,几乎所有嘉宾,都没有说“祝愿同学们取得个人成功”,而是说“希望同学们努力去减轻人类的苦难”。
比尔·盖茨去年说:Should Harvard encourage its faculty to take on the world's worst inequities? Should Harvard students learn about the depth of global poverty … the prevalence of world hunger … the scarcity of clean water …the girls kept out of school … the children who die from diseases we can cure?哈佛是否鼓励她的老师去研究解决世界上最严重的不平等
哈佛的学生是否从全球那些极端的贫穷中学到了什么……世界性的饥荒……清洁的水资源的缺乏……无法上学的女童……死于非恶性疾病的儿童……哈佛的学生有没有从中学到东西
Should the world's most privileged people learn about the lives of the world's least privileged?那些世界上过着最优越生活的人们,有没有从那些最困难的人们身上学到东西
These are not rhetorical questions – you will answer with your policies.这些问题并非语言上的修辞。
你必须用自己的行动来回答它们。
When you consider what those of us here in this Yard have been given – in talent, privilege, and opportunity – there is almost no limit to what the world has a right to expect from us.想一想吧,我们在这个院子里的这些人,被给予过什么——天赋、特权、机遇——那么可以这样说,全世界的人们几乎有无限的权力,期待我们做出贡献。
J.K.罗琳今年说:the fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you are not very well-acquainted with failure. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success. Indeed, your conception of failure might not be too far from the average person’s idea of success, so high have you already flown academically.你们是哈佛毕业生的这个事实,说明你们并不很了解失败。
你们也许极其渴望成功,所以非常害怕失败。
说实话,你们眼中的失败,很可能就是普通人眼中的成功,毕竟你们在学业上已经很成功了。
But how much more are you, Harvard graduates of 2008, likely to touch other people’s lives? Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received, give you unique status, and unique responsibilities.…… That is your privilege, and your burden.但是,所有各位哈佛大学2008届毕业生,你们对其他人的生活了解多少
你们的智慧、你们的能力、你们所受的教育,给了你们独一无二的优势,也给了你们独一无二的责任。
……你们的优势就是你们的责任。
If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped transform for the better. 你们要用自己的地位和影响,为那些被忽略的人们说话;你们不仅要看到那些有权有势者,也要看到那些无权无势者;你们要学会设想,那些条件不如你们的人们是如何生活的;那样的话,不仅你们的亲人们将为你们感到自豪,而且千千万万的人们将因为你们的帮助而生活得更好。
We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.我们不需要改变世界的魔法,我们自己的体内就有这样的力量:那就是我们一直在梦想,让这个世界变得更美好。
英语演讲稿
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 junior school, my dream was to study in my ideal high school. And when eventually I got into the high school, my dream is to get to my ideal university. 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 travel around the country? 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; 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 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 high school student, my goal is to graduate with excellences and get to my ideal university. But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future. One day, people living in the areas now 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 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.
