美国励志人物大学演讲稿中英文对照版，有哪些
Madam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today's graduates, 尊敬的Faust校长，哈佛集团的各位成员，监管理事会的各位理事，各位老师，各位家长，各位朋友，以及最重要的各位毕业生同学， Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you. 感谢你们，让我有机会同你们一起分享这个美妙的日子。
I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not a billionaire, but at least I am a nerd. 我不太肯定，自己够得上哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲人这样的殊荣。
去年登上这个讲台的是，英国亿万身家的小说家J.K. Rowling女士，她最早是一个古典文学的学生。
前年站在这里的是比尔•盖茨先生，他是一个超级富翁、一个慈善家和电脑高手。
今年很遗憾，你们的演讲人是我，虽然我不是很有钱，但是至少我也算一个高手。
I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to me than you might care to imagine. You see, I was the academic black sheep of my family. My older brother has an M.D.\\\/Ph.D. from MIT and Harvard while my younger brother has a law degree from Harvard. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would be pleased. Not so. When I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, That's nice, but when are you going to visit me next. Now, as the last brother with a degree from Harvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied. 我很感激哈佛大学给我荣誉学位，这对我很重要，也许比你们会想到的还要重要。
要知道，在学术上，我是我们家的不肖之子。
我的哥哥在麻省理工学院得到医学博士，在哈佛大学得到哲学博士；我的弟弟在哈佛大学得到一个法律学位。
我本人得到诺贝尔奖的时候，我想我的妈妈会高兴。
但是，我错了。
消息公布的那天早上，我给她打电话，她听了只说：这是好消息，不过我想知道，你下次什么时候来看我
如今在我们兄弟当中，我最终也拿到了哈佛学位，我想这一次，她会感到满意。
Another difficulty with giving a Harvard commencement address is that some of you may disapprove of the fact that I have borrowed material from previous speeches. I ask that you forgive me for two reasons. 在哈佛大学毕业典礼上发表演讲，还有一个难处，那就是你们中有些人可能有意见，不喜欢我重复前人演讲中说过的话。
我要求你们谅解我，因为两个理由。
First, in order to have impact, it is important to deliver the same message more than once. In science, it is important to be the first person to make a discovery, but it is even more important to be the last person to make that discovery. 首先，为了产生影响力，很重要的方法就是重复传递同样的信息。
在科学中，第一个发现者是重要的，但是在得到公认前，最后一个将这个发现重复做出来的人也许更重要。
Second, authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who graduated from Harvard at the age of 18, noted All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients. Picasso declared Good artists borrow. Great artists steal. Why should commencement speakers be held to a higher standard? 其次，一个借鉴他人的作者，正走在一条前人开辟的最佳道路上。
哈佛大学毕业生、诗人爱默生曾经写下：古人把我最好的一些思想都偷走了。
画家毕加索宣称优秀的艺术家借鉴，伟大的艺术家偷窃。
那么为什么毕业典礼的演说者，就不适用同样的标准呢
I also want to point out the irony of speaking to graduates of an institution that would have rejected me, had I the chutzpah to apply. I am married to Dean Jean, the former dean of admissions at Stanford. She assures me that she would have rejected me, if given the chance. When I showed her a draft of this speech, she objected strongly to my use of the word rejected. She never rejected applicants; her letters stated that we are unable to offer you admission. I have difficulty understanding the difference. After all, deans of admissions of highly selective schools are in reality, deans of rejection. Clearly, I have a lot to learn about marketing. 我还要指出一点，向哈佛毕业生发表演说，对我来说是有讽刺意味的，因为如果当年我斗胆向哈佛大学递交入学申请，一定会被拒绝。
我的妻子Jean当过斯坦福大学的招生主任，她向我保证，如果当年我申请斯坦福大学，她会拒绝我。
我把这篇演讲的草稿给她过目，她强烈反对我使用拒绝这个词，她从来不拒绝任何申请者。
在拒绝信中，她总是写：我们无法提供你入学机会。
我分不清两者到底有何差别。
在我看来，那些大热门学校的招生主任与其称为准许你入学的主任，还不如称为拒绝你入学的主任。
很显然，我需要好好学学怎么来推销自己。
My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. So, here comes the advice. First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them. Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you. Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don't bargain for the last, little advantage. Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that credit is not a conserved quantity. In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit. 毕业典礼演讲都遵循古典奏鸣曲的结构，我的演讲也不例外。
刚才是第一乐章----轻快的闲谈。
接下来的第二乐章是送上门的忠告。
这样的忠告很少被重视，几乎注定被忘记，永远不会被实践。
但是，就像王尔德说的：对于忠告，你所能做的，就是把它送给别人，因为它对你没有任何用处。
所以，下面就是我的忠告。
第一，取得成就的时候，不要忘记前人。
要感谢你的父母和支持你的朋友，要感谢那些启发过你的教授，尤其要感谢那些上不好课的教授，因为他们迫使你自学。
从长远看，自学能力是优秀的文理教育中必不可少的，将成为你成功的关键。
你还要去拥抱你的同学，感谢他们同你进行过的许多次彻夜长谈，这为你的教育带来了无法衡量的价值。
当然，你还要感谢哈佛大学。
不过即使你忘了这一点，校友会也会来提醒你。
第二，在你们未来的人生中，做一个慷慨大方的人。
在任何谈判中，都把最后一点点利益留给对方。
不要把桌上的钱都拿走。
在合作中，要牢记荣誉不是一个守恒的量。
成功合作的任何一方，都应获得全部荣誉的90%。
Jimmy Stewart, as Elwood P. Dowd in the movie Harvey got it exactly right. He said: Years ago my mother used to say to me, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be ... she always used to call me Elwood ... in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. ... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me on that. 电影《Harvey》中，Jimmy Stewart扮演的角色Elwood P. Dowd，就完全理解这一点。
他说：多年前，母亲曾经对我说，'Elwood，活在这个世界上，你要么做一个聪明人，要么做一个好人。
'我做聪明人，已经做了好多年了。
......但是，我推荐你们做好人。
你们可以引用我这句话。
My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don't have a passion, don't be satisfied until you find one. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics. 我的第三个忠告是，当你开始生活的新阶段时，请跟随你的爱好。
如果你没有爱好，就去找，找不到就不罢休。
生命太短暂，如果想有所成，你必须对某样东西倾注你的深情。
我在你们这个年龄，是超级的一根筋，我的目标就是非成为物理学家不可。
本科毕业后，我在加州大学伯克利分校又待了8年，读完了研究生，做完了博士后，然后去贝尔实验室待了9年。
在这些年中，我关注的中心和职业上的全部乐趣，都来自物理学。
Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won't be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made. 我还有最后一个忠告，就是说兴趣爱好固然重要，但是你不应该只考虑兴趣爱好。
当你白发苍苍、垂垂老矣、回首人生时，你需要为自己做过的事感到自豪。
你的物质生活和得到的承认，都不会产生自豪。
只有那些你出手相助、被你改变过的人和事，才会让你产生自豪。
After nine years at Bell labs, I decided to leave that warm, cozy ivory tower for what I considered to be the real world, a university. Bell Labs, to quote what was said about Mary Poppins, was practically perfect in every way, but I wanted to leave behind something more than scientific articles. I wanted to teach and give birth to my own set of scientific children. 在贝尔实验室待了9年后，我决定离开这个温暖舒适的象牙塔，走进我眼中的真实世界----大学。
我对贝尔实验室的看法，就像别人形容电影Mary Poppins的话，实际上完美无缺。
但是，我想为世界留下更多的东西，不只是科学论文。
我要去教书，培育我自己在科学上的后代。
Ted Geballe, a friend and distinguished colleague of mine at Stanford, who also went from Berkeley to Bell Labs to Stanford years earlier, described our motives best: 我在斯坦福大学有一个好友兼杰出同事Ted Geballe。
他也是从伯克利分校去了贝尔实验室，几年前又离开贝尔实验室去了斯坦福大学。
他对我们的动机做出了最佳描述： The best part of working at a university is the students. They come in fresh, enthusiastic, open to ideas, unscarred by the battles of life. They don't realize it, but they're the recipients of the best our society can offer. If a mind is ever free to be creative, that's the time. They come in believing textbooks are authoritative, but eventually they figure out that textbooks and professors don't know everything, and then they start to think on their own. Then, I begin learning from them. 在大学工作，最大的优点就是学生。
他们生机勃勃，充满热情，思想自由，还没被生活的重压改变。
虽然他们自己没有意识到，但是他们是这个社会中你能找到的最佳受众。
如果生命中曾经有过思想自由和充满创造力的时期，那么那个时期就是你在读大学。
进校时，学生们对课本上的一字一句毫不怀疑，渐渐地，他们发现课本和教授并不是无所不知的，于是他们开始独立思考。
从那时起，就是我开始向他们学习了。
My students, post doctoral fellows, and the young researchers who worked with me at Bell Labs, Stanford, and Berkeley have been extraordinary. Over 30 former group members are now professors, many at the best research institutions in the world, including Harvard. I have learned much from them. Even now, in rare moments on weekends, the remaining members of my biophysics group meet with me in the ether world of cyberspace. 我教过的学生、带过的博士后、合作过的年轻同事，都非常优秀。
他们中有30多人，现在已经是教授了。
他们所在的研究机构有不少是全世界第一流的，其中就包括哈佛大学。
我从他们身上学到了很多东西。
即使现在，我偶尔还会周末上网，向现在还从事生物物理学研究的学生请教。
I began teaching with the idea of giving back; I received more than I gave. This brings me to the final movement of this speech. It begins with a story about an extraordinary scientific discovery and a new dilemma that it poses. It's a call to arms and about making a difference. 我怀着回报社会的想法，开始了教学生涯。
我的一生中，得到的多于我付出的，所以我要回报社会。
这就引出了这次演讲的最后一个乐章。
首先我要讲一个了不起的科学发现，以及由此带来的新挑战。
它是一个战斗的号令，到了做出改变的时候了。
求一篇关于美国文化的英语演讲稿
For some students, English is very difficult to learn. It's true that English is different from other subjects. Because we learn other subjects in Chinese. We know Chinese much earlier than English. So Chinese influences our English learning. Do you want to learn English well? And then I'll be very glad to share the experiences. The most important thing is to remember four Cs. First, Carefulness. You must be careful when you do anything, and also, when you learn English. Many students make simple mistakes at times. 'Cause they are not careful enough. Also, many students don't regard English learning as an important thing. But we all know that English is the most widely used language in the world. As we are growing up, English is becoming more and more important in our life. So, when you learn English, please be careful. Further more, you also need to listen carefully. At school, listen carefully when you learn in class. The teacher can tell us a lot. If you have chances to speak to foreigners from English-spoken country, you should listen to them carefully. ay attention to their pronunciations and ways to express. Next, Confidence & Courage. Many Chinese students are troubled by spoken English. Of course there is a reason about the language environment. However, the more important thing is that some of us are not confident enough to open the mouth. When we meet some foreigners, we hardly speak to them if they don't speak to us. Confidence & Courage are what we need. We can practice our English at home. Find a mirror and then speak to ourselves. Then you may feel more relaxed and comfortable than speaking to others. Don't afraid to make mistakes. But also be careful, don't make mistakes that you know what is right. The last one is Curiosity. You need to keep curious. Interest is the best teacher. When you read an English article, see an English movie, watch some English programs or when you join any other events about English, you should keep curious. If you learn a new word, then guess the meaning before you use the dictionary. If you find a sentence that you consider very meaningful, then you can write it down and collect all of them. If you keep curious about English, you may find learning English is so interesting. Can't you learn English well then? These are my suggestions of English learning. And I hope it can be helpful for you.And thank you all for listening
外国教育和中国教育有什莫不同 演讲稿
演讲前的开头: 今天我站在这里是为大家讲述中国教育方式和外国教育方式的不同。
在我讲述我的论点之前，我得先对我将要讲的文章作一点设定，以便大家更好地理解我那片面之见。
1、我把外国设定为欧美等发达国家。
而发达国家的学校里而班里一般只有20个学生，而国内的大部分学校的班里面学生是40个人以上。
2、因为我们国家受了两千多年儒家思想影响，讲究个“仁义礼智信，温谦恭俭让”。
就那个“谦”字，以我的微末之见，就是谦逊的意思。
所以我暂且大胆地认为，提出这个命题的人并不是在大肆地阿谀奉承中国的教育，相反，他是认为中国教育是有缺陷的。
好了，我正式开始讲解我的文章“中外的教育方式有何不同”。
现状： 中国的基础教育在国际上可称得上是最棒的，这一点可以从国际中小学奥赛上得知，在国际中小学生奥林匹克竞赛中几乎包揽了所有奖牌。
然而他们在长大之后，却总是应验了那句“小时了了，大未必佳”的老话。
外国（仅指发达国家）却拿走了一堆堆的诺贝尔奖牌（杯），中国却一直在为准晶、人工牛胰岛素等位数不多的差点获得诺贝尔奖的科研项目纠结懊悔。
家庭教育: 鼓励探索。
在美国的学前教育机构里，孩子们自由选择的机会很多，不仅是 玩的内容可以自由选择，教师们还极力鼓励幼儿自由发挥、自由创造。
譬如画画，多鼓励孩子自由创作，对画的内容、形式、手法均不作限定，所以美国的孩子总是画得满身、满脸都是颜料，画出的成果则让大人们不知何物。
在中国的幼儿园里，孩子们更多地是按照老师的要求去读，干净整齐则是基本要求之一，而画画往往是照着样子画，画得越像得到的评价就越高。
所以中国的孩子总能画出挺像样的画，画技高超的小画家也层出不穷。
（缺乏想象力） 自己做主。
美国学生的父母对他们说：“亲爱的，你已经长成一个男子汉了，自己的事情应该自己做主，不要老是依赖我们给你提意见。
” 中国学生的父母对他们吼到：“放肆
翅膀长硬了是不是
敢把我的话当耳旁风
告诉你，就算你长出胡子，还是我们儿子，还得听我们的。
”（缺乏独立思考） 沟通合作。
外国的父母，看到孩子和一伙小孩子在玩泥巴的时候，他们会笑眯眯地站在一边，或者退到后面，津津有味地看着孩子在伴伙兴高采烈的笑脸。
中国的父母，看到孩子和别人一起玩泥巴时，他们会板起脸，怒冲冲地走过来，一巴掌甩过去，骂道：死孩子，衣服是新买的，又被你弄脏了
（缺乏沟通合作） 有句老话说：政治是经济的延续，军事是政治的待续。
其实学校教育也是家庭教育的延续。
一个人教育不当，可能是个体差异造成的。
可是一个民族，一个国家的教育不当，就是教育理念的不当。
用一个不恰当的理念，越加强烈的强度去教育相同的学生，自然会造成越加明显的差异。
学校教育: 填鸭式的教育，一味地灌输学生将要考试的内容（压抑了学生的思考能力） 中国的试卷都有一个标准答案，就算你的想法很有道理，但还是以标准答案为准。
（剥夺了想象力） 课程设置不合理，除了必修课还是必修课，学生没有通力合作的土壤（抑制了学生的合作能力） 后果： 学生思考能力减少了，但机械操作服从的能力得到了提升，所以学生被量产为螺丝丁。
（以微软为例：在微软总部有一千多名中国人，但很少有人进入管理层，问其原因，微软公司负责人说，中国人在那里是非常好的工程师，但他们很少会提出自己的想法，不敢对老板说“不”，没有想象力，开会不发言） 说了那么多，引经据典的，难受。
我现在说一件最最最能引发我感触的问题。
这问题就是我今天说的题目。
中外教育的不同之处，一个中国，一个外国，可是天知道，对国人来说，外国指的是200多个非中国的国家和地区。
今儿书本上叫我找出中外教育方式的不同，可我得怎么对比啊，美国
朝鲜
埃塞俄比亚
如果你说书上指的是美国，那我觉得中国教育和外国教育的不同就是，中国的教育不够具体化，让学生觉得摸棱两可。
而外国则相反，在关键的地方关键的时候，都会把问题具体化。
让学生不会把时间浪费在猜测题目是什么意思。
我相信，如果美国书本上也有类似问题的话，他一定是“美国教育方式和中国教育方式有什么不同，你更喜欢哪种，这种教育有什么好处，这个国家为什么会实施这种教育”。
急求一篇东西方家庭教育的不同的英语演讲稿（大概5分钟）
我觉得还是中国的好一点，现在大多数人都崇尚美国的教育，认为开放，适合解决现实的一些事情，但是，众所周知美国的社会安全也是全世界所知道的，我认为就是孩子在小时没有受过管教，太放松了。
中国的应试教育的确有不足，但最近几年中国已经改变很多，我相信以后中国的孩子适应能力不一定比美国差… I thought that China's good spot, now most people advocate US's education, thinks the opening, suits the solution reality some matters, but, it is well known US's security, social is also, I who the world knew thought that is the child has not received in the hour has taught, too relaxed. the China's shopping online really has the insufficiency, but recent several year China already changed many, I believe later China's child adaptiveness varying fixed ratio US bad… 比较符合标准。
希望能够帮上你忙。
3分钟演讲稿,关于美国
美利坚合众国（英语：United States of America），简称美国，旧称花旗国，是由50个州和一个联邦地区组成的联邦立宪制共和国。
美国本土位于北美洲中部，东濒大西洋，西滨太平洋，北靠加拿大，南接墨西哥及墨西哥湾；首都华盛顿哥伦比亚特区与除夏威夷州和阿拉斯加州之外的48个州都位于美国本土。
阿拉斯加州位于北美大陆西北方，东接加拿大，西隔白令海峡与俄罗斯隔海相望。
夏威夷州则是太平洋中部的群岛。
此外，美国在加勒比海和太平洋还拥有多处领土和岛屿地区。
美国源自于1776年脱离英国统治的北美殖民地，13州的殖民地代表一同发表了《美国独立宣言》，在经历艰苦的独立战争后，于1783年与英国签订了《巴黎条约》，从此受到世界各国的承认。
经过两百多年的发展，美国国土不断拓展，37个州陆续加入联邦旗下。
目前有50个州，1个联邦直辖特区，以及若干境外领土。
国土面积超过962万平方公里，国土面积位居世界第三或第四名（领土排名争议参见地理一节）。
美国人口约3亿人，其数量为世界第三，民族多元，以白人为主，有大量移民人口。
美国国旗上的50颗白色星星代表50个州；每当有新州加入联邦时，美国国旗会在次年的独立日（7月4日）时增加一颗星。
[2]国旗上红色及白色横条各为7条及6条，总计13条，纪念最初独立的13个州。
[3]建国200多年以来，美国曾经历过南北战争（1861－1865年）和大萧条（1930年代）两次严酷考验，[4]仍坚守自由民主制政治制度，成为宪法民主和公民自由的代表性国家。
美国庞大的经济、文化、科技和军事影响力贯穿了整个20世纪。
在第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战中，美国和其他同盟国一同获得胜利，并经历数十年的冷战后，终于拖垮苏联，成为现今世界上唯一的超级大国[5]。
当今美国在全世界的经济发展、政治实力、科技创新、军事技术力量等众多领域的庞大影响力都是无他国能比拟的。
The United States of America (commonly referred to as the United States, the U.S., the USA, or America) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to the west across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories in the Caribbean and Pacific.At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km2) and with about 308 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area, and the third largest both by land area and population. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries.[7] The U.S. economy is the largest national economy in the world, with an estimated 2008 gross domestic product (GDP) of US $14.4 trillion (a quarter of nominal global GDP and a fifth of global GDP at purchasing power parity).[4][8]Indigenous peoples, probably of Asian origin, have inhabited what is now the mainland United States for many thousands of years. This Native American population was greatly reduced by disease and warfare after European contact. The United States was founded by thirteen British colonies located along the Atlantic seaboard. On July 4, 1776, they issued the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed their right to self-determination and their establishment of a cooperative union. The rebellious states defeated Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War, the first successful colonial war of independence.[9] The Philadelphia Convention adopted the current United States Constitution on September 17, 1787; its ratification the following year made the states part of a single republic with a strong central government. The Bill of Rights, comprising ten constitutional amendments guaranteeing many fundamental civil rights and freedoms, was ratified in 1791.In the 19th century, the United States acquired land from France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Russia, and annexed the Republic of Texas and the Republic of Hawaii. Disputes between the agrarian South and industrial North over states' rights and the expansion of the institution of slavery provoked the American Civil War of the 1860s. The North's victory prevented a permanent split of the country and led to the end of legal slavery in the United States. By the 1870s, the national economy was the world's largest.[10] The Spanish–American War and World War I confirmed the country's status as a military power. It emerged from World War II as the first country with nuclear weapons and a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. The end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union left the United States as the sole superpower. The country accounts for two-fifths of global military spending and is a leading economic, political, and cultural force in the world.

中国教育的特色The characteristics of Chinese Education
2分钟的英语演讲稿。
Blue Planet We all have a common home. She provides us with enough food, enough water and enough living room. We get everything from the nature to live better, but we donnot do anything to protect her. How the air is polluted; the earth is poisoned; water is unsafe to drink and rubbish is burying the civilization that man owns. Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts can prevent. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry. So many trees will be cut down, and more large cities will be set up. Lots of waste material, in return, is produced and harms the environment. So some experts declare that the balance of nature is being upset, so that the very survival of man is in danger. How can we solve this problem? The answer is that we must control the speed of growing people, forbid everyone to cut down trees and pour waste water into rivers and so on. If we achieve this, the environment will turn very clean, and our future will be full of happiness. 从中学生作文上抄下来的，希望对你有帮助

宋美龄美国国会演讲英语文稿
英文演说全文取自美国国会记录，1943年 Mr. President, Members of the Senate of the United States, ladies, and gentlem en, I am overwhelmed by the warmth and spontaneity of the welcome of the Ameri can people, of whom you are the representatives. I did not know that I was to speak to you today at the Senate except to say,“How do you do, I am so very g lad to see you,”and to bring the greetings of my people to the people of Amer ica. However, just before coming here, the Vice President told me that he wouu ld like to have me say a few words to you. 议长先生，美国参议院各位议员，各位女士、先生，受到诸位所代表的美国人民热情与真 诚的欢迎，令我感动莫名。
我事先不知今天要在参议院发表演说，只以为要到此说声「大 家好，很高兴见到各位」，并向贵国人民转达敝国百姓的问候之意。
不过，在来到此地之 前，贵国副总统告诉我，他希望我和各位说几句话。
I am not a very good extemporaneous speaker; in fact, I am no speaker at all; but I am not so very much discouraged, because a few days ago I was at Hyde Pa rk, and went to the President’’s library. Something I saw there encouraged me, and made me feel that perhaps you will not expect overmuch of me in speaking t o you extemporaneously. What do you think I saw there I saw many things, but t he one thing which interested me most of all was that in a glass case there wa s the first draft of one of the President’’s speeches, a second draft, and on a nd on up to the sixth draft. Yesterday I happened to mention this fact to the President, and told him that I was extremely glad that he had to write so many drafts when he is such a well-known and acknowledgedly fine speaker. His repl y to me was that sometimes he writes 12 drafts of a speech. So, my remarks her e today, being extemporaneous, I am sure you will make allowances for me. 我并不擅于即席演说，事实上根本称不上是演说家，但我不会因此怯场，因为前几天我在 海德公园参观过总统图书馆，在那里看见的一些东西鼓励了我，让我感觉各位或许不会对 我的即席演说要求太多。
各位知道我在那里见到什么吗
我看到了许多，但最让我感兴趣 的，莫过于一个放着总统先生(译按，即罗斯福总统）演说草稿的玻璃箱，里头从第一份草 稿、第二份草稿，一直到第六份草稿。
昨天，我碰巧向总统先生提及此事，我说我很高兴 知道，以他如此知名又公认一流的演说家，还必须写这么多份草稿。
他回答说，有时他一 次演说得写12份草稿。
因此，今天本人在此发表的即席演说，我确信各位一定会包容。
The traditional friendship between your country and mine has a history of 160 years. I feel--and I believe that I am not the only one who feels this way--th at there are a great many similarities between your people and mine, and that these similarlties are the basis of our friendship. 贵国和敝国之间有着160年悠久历史的情谊，我觉得贵国人民和敝国百姓有许许多多的相似 点，而这些相似点正是两国情谊的基础，我也相信不是只有我有这样的感觉。
I should like to tell you a little story which will illustrate this belief. Wh en General Doolittle and his men went to bomb Tokyo, on their return some of y our boys had to bail out in the interior of China. One of them later told me t hat he had to bail out of his ship. and that when he landed on Chinese soil an d saw the populace running toward him, he just waved his arm and shouted the o nly Chinese word he knew,“Mei-kuo, Mei-kuo,”which means”America.”Literal ly translated from the Chinese it means“Beautiful country.”This boy said tha t our people laughed and almost hugged him, and greeted him like a long lost b rother. He further told me that he thought that he had come home when he saw o ur people; and that was the first time he had ever been to China.(Applause.) 在此，我想说个小故事，来说明此一信念。
杜立德将军和部下一起去轰炸东京，回程时有 些美国子弟兵不得不在中国内陆跳伞。
其中一人后来告诉我，他被迫从飞机跳伞，踏上中 国的土地时，看到当地居民跑向他，他就挥着手，喊出他会说的唯一一句中国话：「美国 ，美国」，也就是「美利坚」的意思，（掌声）美国在中国话的意思是「美丽的国家」。
这个大男孩说，敝国人民听了都笑开来，拥抱他，像欢迎失散多年的兄弟一般。
他还告诉 我说，当他看到我们的人民，感觉他已经回到家；而那是他第一次来到中国。
（掌声） I came to your country as a little girl. I know your people. I have lived with them. I spent the formative years of my life amongst your people. I speak you r language, not only the language of your hearts, but also your tongue. So com ing here today I feel that I am also coming home.(Applause)] 我来到贵国时是个小女孩，我熟悉贵国人民，我和他们一起生活过。
我生命中成长的岁月 是和贵国人民一起度过，我说你们的话，我想的和你们一样,说的也和你们一样。
所以今天 来到这里，我也感觉我好像回到家了。
（掌声） I believe, however, that it is not only I who am coming home, I feel that if t he Chinese people could speak to you in your own tongue, or if you could under stand our tongue, they would tell you that basically and fundamentally we are fighting for the same cause (great applause); that we have identity of ideals ; that the“four freedoms,”which your President proclaimed to the world, re sound throughout our vast land as the gong of freedom, the gong of freedom of the United Nations, and the death knell of the aggressors. (Applause.) 不过，我相信不只是我回到家，我觉得，如果中国人民会用你们的语言与你们说话，或是 你们能了解我们的语言，他们会告诉你们，根本而言，我们都在为相同的理念奋战（如雷 掌声）；我们有一致的理想；亦即贵国总统向全世界揭示的「四个自由」，自由的钟声、 联合国自由的钟声，和侵略者的丧钟响彻我国辽阔的土地。
（掌声） I assure you that our people are willing and eager to cooperate with you in th e realization of these ideals, because we want to see to it that they do not e cho as empty phrases, but become realities for ourselves, for our children, fo r our children’’s children, and for all mankind.(Applause.) 谨向各位保证，敝国人民深愿亦渴望为实现这些理想和贵国合作，因为我们希望这些理想 不会流于空言，而是成为我们、我们的子子孙孙、全人类的真况实境。
（掌声） How are we going to realize these ideals I think I shall tell you a little sto ry which just came to my mind. As you know. China is a very old nation. We hav e a history of 5,000 years. When we were obliged to evacuate Hankow and go int o the hinterland to carry on and continue our resistance against aggression, t he Generalissimo and I passed one of our fronts, the Changsha front. One day w e went into the Heng-yang Mountains, where there are traces of a famous pavili on called“Rub-the-mirror”pavilion, which was built over 2,000 years ago. It will perhaps interest you to hear the story of that pavilion. 我们要如何实现这些理想我想，我可以告诉各位一个我刚想到的小故事。
各位知道，中国 是一个非常古老的国家。
我们有五千年历史。
我们被迫从汉口撤退，转入大后方继续抵抗 侵略的时候，蒋委员长和我经过一处前线，就在长沙。
有一天，我们上衡山，山上有一处 有名的遗迹，叫「磨镜台」，是两千多年前的古迹。
诸位或许有兴趣听听这古迹的故事。
Two thousand years ago near that spot was an old Buddhist temple. One of the y oung monks went there, and all day long he sat crosslegged, with his hands cla sped before him in an attitude of prayer, and murmured“Amita-Buddha! Amita-Bu ddha! Amita-Buddha!”He murmured and chanted day after day, because he hoped that he would acquire grace. 两千年前，台址近旁有一座古老的佛寺。
一名年轻和尚来此修行，他整天盘腿坐禅，双手 合十，口中喃喃念着「阿弥陀佛!阿弥陀佛!阿弥陀佛!」他唱念佛号，日复一日，因为 他希望成佛。
The Father Prior of that temple took a piece of brick and rubbed it against a stone hour after hour, day after day, and week after week. The little acolyte, being very young, sometimes cast his eyes around to see what the old Father P rior was doing. The old Father Prior just kept on his work of rubbing the bric k against the stone. So one day the young acolyte said to him.“Father Prior, what are you doing day after day rubbing this brick on the stone”The Father P rior replied,“I am trying to make a mirror out of this brick.”The young aco lyte said,“But it is impossible to make a mirror out of a brick, Father Prior .”“Yes,”said the Father Prior,“and it is just as impossible for you yo acq uire grace by doing nothing except murmur’’Amita-Buddha’’all day long, day in and day out.”(Applause.) 寺里的住持于是也跟着拿一块砖去磨一块石头，时时刻刻的磨，一天又一天的磨，一周又 一周的磨。
小和尚有时抬眼瞧瞧老和尚在做什么。
住持只是一个劲儿拿砖磨石。
终于有一 天，小和尚对住持说，「大师，您每天拿这块砖磨石头，到底为什么呢」住持答道：「我 要用这块砖做镜子。
」小和尚说：「可砖块是做不成镜子的呀，大师。
」「没错，」住持 说，「就像你成天光念阿弥陀佛，是成不了佛的。
」(掌声) So, my friends, I feel that it is necessary for us not only to have ideals and to proclaim that we have them, it is necessary that we act to implement them. And so to you, gentlemen of the Senate, and to you ladies and gentlemen in th e galleries, I say that without the active help of all of us our leader cannot implement these ideals. It is up to you and to me to take to heart the lesson of“Rub-the-mirror”pavilion. 因此，朋友们，我觉得，我们不但必须有理想，不但要昭告我们有理想，我们还必须以行 动来落实理想。
(掌声)所以，我要对诸位参议员先生，以及旁听席上的女士先生说，没有 我们大家的积极协助，我们的领袖无法落实这些理想。
诸位和我都必须紧记「磨镜台」的 教训。
I thank you.(Great applause, Senators and their guests arising.)
求写一篇300词左右的关于60年建国的英语演讲稿
这是我以前写的一篇，如果是男学生，把里面的daughter改成sonDear Motherland,I am so proud of being a Chinese. As a daughte(or son) of the greatest country who has the long history of more than five thousand years, I am so lucky.I learn a lot from your history and culture, which are remarkable in the world. And as a result I am deeply attracted by the interesting and instructive events and historical figures. Sixty years ago, with the establishment of People's Republic of China, Chinese people started a totally new life.During the past 60 years, China became richer and stronger. Yes, we used to be treated as a weak nationality but after 60 years it is not the case any longer.Nowdays, we live a much happier life than before and this should be owed to the distribution of hundreds and thousands of pioneers who devoted themselves to the independence and improvements of China. In the 60th National Day, we must momerize these heros.For me, the best way to momerize is to study hard and master more knowledge to construct our mother country which is deeply loved by all of us.The past 60 years belongs to the heros, the constructors of China and of course, several great leaders such as Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, and Dengxiaoping. And we are confident that we can go along their road in the future.The prosperity of motherland make it possible for all of us to improve the quality of life. Especially, for the young students like me. First, we dont need have to worry about the foods and houses like children several decades ago. We all have a happy childhood and this is help to form our active and optimistic characters. Second, state has established a relatively sound education system and thus we can receive perfect and necessary educaion. It’s of great importance for our future. Third, with the development of national economy, adults can obtain more employment opportunities and then, they may earn enough money to afford family expenditures. And children, together with their parents and grandparents, will have stable families which make all people happy. Fourth, China makes more and more communications with other countries around the world and this makes it is possible for us to know more about the world. Fifth, we also benefit from the public facilities such as transportations, stadiums and hosptials. For example, travelling becomes easier than before and we children can find a lot of place to play on. Furthermore, when we catch a cold or feel sick, we can go to hospital and be treated easily. When we want to enjoy a new film, there are many cinemas available. In a word, all these exciting changes should be owed to you, my mothercountry.As a student in the new age, I know that we are responsible for the future and development of you, my dear mother country. As for me, it’s nature to do something valuable to return you, my dear motherland. Yes, I know I am to young to make great contributions to you currently. But I have decided to be a useful person to the society in the future. To achieve this goal, I should make preparations. First, just as mentioned above, it’s obvious to study hard is of the most importance for me. Otherwise, even I really want to do something good when I grow up, I have not sufficient ability. It will be sad for me. To avoid the regret, I have to master knowledges and skills as much as I can. Second, I will always remember I am a Chinese and I am proud of this as well. If I have any chance, I will tell foreigners China is a great country and always willing to make friends with other countries.Third, I will care others more as this will help the constuction of a harmonious society. Young as I am, I should do my best to meet the calling on of you.China is another mother. I respect you and wish a better future.Yours Sincere DaughterXXX亲爱的祖国：我很自豪自己是一个中国人。
您拥有悠久和历史和文化，是世上最伟大的国家。
能够成为您的女儿，是我的幸运。
从您闻名与世的历史和文化中，我学到了许多，并被那些有趣且有教育意义的事件和历史人物所打动。
六十年前，随着新中国的成立，中国人民开始了全新的生活。
在过去的六十年间，中国越发的繁荣和富强。
是的，我们曾经被认为是一个弱小的民族，但是经过了六十年的发展，情况早已改变。
现在，我们的生活比以前幸福许多，而这一切需要归功于无数为了国家独立和发展而献身的英数先烈。
在国庆六十周年之际，我们不要将他们忘记。
对我而言，最好的纪念就是努力学习，掌握更多的知识，为建设我们心爱的祖国而努力。
过去的六十年属于英雄，属于新中国的建设者，当然还属于几位领袖，如毛主席、周总理和。
我们有信心在将来沿着他们开拓的道路继续前行。
祖国的繁荣使得生活水平的提高成为可能，尤其是对象我这样的孩子来说更是如此。
首先，我们不需要再象几十年前的孩子那样为温饱担忧。
我们拥有幸福的童年，这对培养我们积极和乐观的性格极有帮助。
其次，国家建立了一套相对完善的教育体制，使我们可以得到完善而必须的教育，这对我们的未来发展极其重要。
第三，随着国家经济的发展，成人们可以获得更多的就业机会，他们因此可以有更多的收入来负担家庭的各项开支。
因此，孩子们和家人都可以拥有一个稳定的家庭，而稳定的家庭使所有的人都感到幸福。
第四，中国与其他国家的交流越来越频繁，因而我们可以更多地了解外部世界。
第五，我们也从国家的公共建设，诸如公共交通、体育场和医院上面获益良多。
比如说，旅游变得比以前更容易了，孩子们也可以找到更多的地方玩耍。
还有，当我们感冒或者不舒服的时候，我们可以很容易找到医院就诊。
而当我们想去看一部新电影时，有很多电影院可供选择。
总而言之，这些激动人心的变化都应当归功与您，我的祖国。
作为一个新时代的学生，我知道我们对您的未来和发展负有责任，我亲爱的祖国。
就我而言，做些有价值的事情来回报您是很自然的。
是的，我知道我还很小，目前还不能为您做出很大的贡献，但是我已经决心将来成为一个对社会有用的人。
为了实现这个目标，我现在就要做些准备：首先，正如我在上面所提到的，努力学习对我来说是最重要的。
否则的话，即便我长大后真的想做些有用的事，我可能发现自己没有足够的能力。
这样就太悲惨了。
为了避免出现这种遗憾，我必须尽可能地多学些知识和技能。
其次，我会永远牢记自己是一个中国人，并且我也为此深感自豪。
如果我有机会的话，我会告诉外国友人，中国是一个伟大的国度，并且一直愿意和其他的国家交朋友。
第三，我会更多地关心他人，因为这样会有助于我们建设一个和谐社会。
虽然我还很小，但是我会尽力响应您的号召的。
中国是另一位母亲，我尊敬您并祝您的未来更美好。
您忠实的女儿XXX
