求一篇，描述一场自己经历过的印象最深的婚礼英语演讲稿，200词左右，最好带汉语翻译
尊敬的各位来宾：Distinguished guests: 大家好
Everybody is good! 今天我由衷地开心和激动，因为我终于结婚了。
一时间纵有千言万语却不知从和说起。
但我知道，这万语千言最终只能汇聚成两个字，那就是“感谢”。
首先要感谢在座的各位朋友在这个美好的周末，特意前来为我和xxx的爱情做一个重要的见证，没有你们，也就没有这场，让我和我妻子终生难忘的婚礼。

昨天上了一夜的网，网上说现在世界上男性人口是29亿8千万，我竟然有兴的得到了这29亿8千万分之一的机会成为xxx的丈夫，29亿8千万分之一的机会相当于，一个人中500万的彩票连中一个月，但我觉得今生能和xxx在一起，是多少个500万的无法比拟的。

急求一篇英语演讲稿 题目是 爱与婚姻 100字左右 简单些 在线等答案~~~
Marriage is one thing that every person is supposed to fulfill in his life. It's altogether a different thing that some people don't want to get married. It's their personal choice whether to get married or not.It may be also because of some compelling conditions that they don't want to get into wedlock. Let's leave this and move our attention to another thing which is regarded as a complementary to marriage i.e. love.Some people think it's a must to be in love in order to get married while some think they can be in love after their marriage. And there are also many societies in this world which don't put much emphasis on love to get married.To them both love and marriage carries different meaning. So it'll be quite hard to discus all the existing different forms of marriage in this single essay.Instead of that I would like to put the main form of marriage in the light which people go by i.e. monogamy.In sociological context marriage is regarded as a social institution which gives positive sanction to the couple comprising of a man and a woman to live together under one roof and have sexual relationship meant only for the sole purpose of procreation.The couple also have the economic obligation to one another, in other words they have to complement each other economically. For we know the main objective of marriage now we will be forced to think if these are the reasons behind getting married then do we really need to be in love to get married.Love is just an emotion which is abstract and marriage carries certain obligations which are too important to be in the so called society. Since marriage has had enough weight to make love seems to be unnecessary, does it mean that there isn't need for love in this world?So the whole situation is paradoxical in its own nature as a result most people are not sure of whatever beliefs they have about love and marriage.Because of the above circumstance I think it's important to throw some light on the other element love. Some people think they are in love for real and when they are in love with someone they tend to start believing that they are going to make it to the marriage and well after it till death apart them.Though they have such feelings their minds are fluctuated at some point of time. This fluctuation of thoughts, beliefs and values plays a major part in turning the relationship upside down, utterly bringing their relation to abrupt end. It's an incorrigible nature in us - human beings.Everybody wants to save their relationship from going berserk. Because of this very desire on our part made me want to write this essay. I also want to contribute whatever knowledge I earned in my life to this very cause.Before coming to those factors which are responsible for the fluctuation of our minds, we all must try to sort out what love is. In Oxford Dictionary it is defined in this way - a very strong nature of affection. 2) a strong feeling of attraction linked with sexual attraction.This is the definition the great lexicographers of Oxford can give to this four lettered word love. Different people have different definitions as we all have different mindset.I don't wish to give its definition, but I would rather like to give three criteria which are a must to be in love according to my perspective. At first, trust; where there is no trust there can't be love.Secondly, mutual reciprocity of feelings; we must love the other person as much as he or she loves us. There must be always that balance of feelings so that there won't be conflict of feelings.Last but not least is the ability to compromise; since, it's impossible to have similar interest in many aspects of life, we must be prepared to swallow some of our principles and values so that we can go along with our partners and eventually saving the relationship.We all are aware of the prevailing trends in many western societies where marriage loses some of its importance as most people are not interested in getting married. The rate of divorce is also soaring up beyond our imagination.The main issue which is in question these days is the breakdown of the age-old institution of family. Family is basic unit of society upon which the whole social system relies. This may lead to a kind of havoc which won't spare even a single soul on the face of earth.So we must be considerate of changing status of marriage and family. If a couple is on the verge of divorced or already divorced both the husband and wife is hurt and they go through a phase of mental trauma.It also has a dreadful effects on their children if they have any. It's regarded as an ignominious incident for the respective couple. We can see many of such incidents in our day to day life; just take the celebrities like that of famous actors as an instance.In this age of infidelity and betrayal many persons are confused and their minds are perplexed. And they don't even know how to soothe their perplexed minds in these increasingly complex societies.They need some kind of panacea but unfortunately nobody knows from where to fetch it. I mean nobody knows the solution.Just like the married couples many youngsters are changing their dates like changing underwear. This in turn leads to lose of faith from love. Many people think love is the avenue to sex.If this is the truth then I would like to remain as a bachelor throughout my life as I can buy sex but not love. To me love is that magic that can change our lives for ever and it'll also save your marriage from destruction.If we are getting married only for sexual reasons, then it'll be better if we don't get into the fuss of getting married. If you are married to someone it means you've to be royal to him or her, confining only to one person.Instead of it if you are not married then you can share your bed with anyone and you'll be also able to change your partner at your will, isn't it?Let's try to save the sacred institution of family by being royal to your love ones. And look thoroughly before getting into a relationship with someone so that you don't have to make a fuss later on cursing the other person and your life.It'll also save you from STDs, am I right my dear friends. At the last moment I would like to remind you that it's your life and something bad happens to you then you are the only one who'll be paying for that mistake you committed in life.Nobody has to carry your burden on his shoulder. So it's your life do whatever you want.

奥巴马支持同性婚姻的英语演讲稿 最好是中英对照 谢谢
This week, President Obama said he now supports same-sex marriage.本周奥巴马总统表示他支持。
BARACK OBAMA: I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.奥巴马：“我认为同性伴侣应该能够结婚。
”He became the first sitting American president to express that opinion. Earlier he had said his thinking on the issue was evolving.他成为首位表达这一意见的在任美国总统。
此前他曾经表示，他在这一问题上的观点在“演变”。
Reaction in Congress was mixed. Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the minority Democrats in the House of Representatives, welcomed the news.国会对此的反应是喜忧参半。
众议院少数派领袖对此表示欢迎。
NANCY PELOSI: America's children and families and workers saw history being made right before their very eyes: the president of the United States advancing civil rights in our country.洛佩西：“美国人亲眼见证了这一历史：美国总统推进了美国公民的权利。
”But Speaker John Boehner and other Republicans in the House said the president was sending the wrong message at the wrong time.但众议院议长博纳和其他共和党人表示，奥巴马总统在一个错误的时间传达了一个错误的讯息。
JOHN BOEHNER: I believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. And the president, the Democrats can talk about all this all they want. But, the fact is, the American people are focused on our economy, and they are asking the question: where are the jobs?博纳：“我认为婚姻是男人和女人之间的结合。
总统和人可以就此高谈阔论。
但事实是，美国人民关注的是经济，他们的问题是，工作在哪里
”House Republicans are leading a court case against the administration for not defending a federal law called the Defense of Marriage Act. That nineteen ninety-six law defines marriage as between one man and one woman.众议院共和党人就政府当局未能捍卫联邦发起法庭诉讼。
这一签署于1996年的法案将婚姻定义为一男一女之间。
In the Senate, Republicans did not say much about the president's announcement. Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid said he would support same-sex marriage if the issue were put to voters in his home state of Nevada.参议院中的共和党人对总统的声明未作过多评论。
参议院多数派领袖表示，如果在他的家乡，这一问题被交由选民表决，他会支持。
Mr. Obama received strong support from politically influential gays and lesbians in the two thousand eight campaign. His re-election campaign says donations from both groups have greatly increased since his announcement.在2008年选举中，奥巴马先生获得了有政治影响力的男、群体的大力支持。
奥巴马连任竞选部门表示，自奥巴马发表公开声明以来，来自这两个群体的捐款大幅增加。
Mitt Romney, the likely Republican presidential candidate, opposes same-sex marriage.这位最具可能的共和党总统候选人则反对。
MITT ROMNEY: My view is that marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman, and that is the position I have had for some time and I don't intend to make any adjustments at this point.：“我的观点是，婚姻是一男一女之间的事情。
这是我一直以来的立场，在这一点上我也无意改变。
”Support for same-sex marriage has grown in recent years, especially among younger people. A recent Gallup public opinion survey suggested that Americans are now evenly split on the issue. Gallup first asked the question in nineteen ninety-six. That year only twenty-seven percent of people said they supported same-sex marriage.近年来，同性婚姻支持者不断壮大，特别是在年轻人中。
最近一次民意调查显示，美国人在这一问题上的态度不相上下。
机构于1996年第一次抛出这一问题，当时只有27%的人对同性婚姻表示支持。
The president's position on the issue gained new attention after a TV appearance Sunday by Vice President Joe Biden. He was on NBC's Meet the Press program.在副总统上周日在电视上亮相之后，奥巴马总统的立场引发了新的关注。
当时是在参加美国广播公司（NBC）的《会见新闻界》节目。
JOE BIDEN: I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties.拜登：“男人与男人或女人与女人之间的婚姻和异性恋的婚姻应该享有完全相同的权利，我对此绝不会感到不舒服。
” President Obama announced the change in his thinking on ABC News on Wednesday.奥巴马总统周三在美国广播公司新闻上宣布了他观点的改变。
BARACK OBAMA: At a certain point, I just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.奥巴马：“在这一点上，我个人的结论是，我确定同性伴侣应该能够结婚。
”He noted his success at ending the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and his opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act.他指出了他在结束美国军队“不问不说”政策上的成功，以及他对《婚姻保护法案》的反对立场。
But Mr. Obama said he still supports the right of individual states to decide the marriage issue. He spoke a day after a large majority of voters in North Carolina approved a state constitutional ban on homosexual marriage. North Carolina became the thirtieth state to pass such an amendment. The ban also includes civil unions and domestic partnerships.但奥巴马先生说，他仍然支持各州自行决定是否承认同性婚姻。
在他发表讲话的前一天，北卡罗莱纳州大部分选民通过了该州对同性婚姻的宪法禁令。
北卡罗莱纳州成为第30个通过这类修正案的美国州。
该禁令也包括了民事结合（civil union）和同居伴侣关系（domestic partnerships）。
Currently, six of the fifty states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex couples to marry. Nine states allow civil unions or provide rights under domestic partnership laws.目前，50个美国州中的6个州以及哥伦比亚特区允许同性伴侣结婚。
9个州允许民事结合，或支持同居伴侣关系法案下的相关权利。

它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。
它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。
如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。
因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。
但是对我而言，我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性，更是因为我喜爱英语。
当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。
当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。
当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。
当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美…… 我爱英语，它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。
我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界，用我流利的英语，我可以和世界各地的人交友。
我能看到许多的名胜。
我希望我能够到伦敦去，因为那里是英语的故乡。
我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友，我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。
我知道，罗马不是一天筑成的。
（成功需要日积月累。
）我相信在持续不断的努力学习下，总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。
如果你想被爱，你就应该学着去爱他人。
所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。
我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦
谢谢
一分钟五年级英语演讲稿（自我介绍 简洁明了）（ 先是英语 再写翻译的中文）
Good morning (afternoon), teachers and classmates (school mates). My name is Chen Tao. I am 11 years old, good at English （maths) and computer games as well. I love my family and my school . I am eager to make great achievements with my study and make friends with you all of you. 老师们，同学们，早上（下午）好。

我十分渴望学习进步，愿意和大家交朋友。
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。
