关于现代科技的~~Science and art are the obverse and reverse of Nature's medal; the one expressing the eternal order of things, in terms of feeling, the other in terms of thought. Science has long had an uneasy relationship with other aspects of culture. Think of Galileo’s 17th-century trial for his rebelling belief before the Catholic church or poet William Blake’s harsh remarks against the mechanistic worldview of Isaac Newton. The schism between science and the humanities has, if anything, deepened in this century. Until recently the scientific community was so powerful that it could afford to ignore its critics--but no longer. As funding for science has declined, scientists have attacked “anti-science” in several books, notably Higher Superstition, by Paul R. Gross, a biologist at the University of Virginia, and Norman Levitt, a mathematician at Rutgers University; and The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan of Cornell University. Defenders of science have also voiced their concerns at meetings such as “The Flight from Science and Reason,” held in New York City in 1995, and “Science in the Age of (Mis) information,” which assembled last June near Buffalo. Anti-science clearly means different things to different people. Gross and Levitt find fault primarily with sociologists, philosophers and other academics who have questioned science’s objectivity. Sagan is more concerned with those who believe in ghosts, creationism and other phenomena that contradict the scientific worldview.科学和艺术正、反自然的勋章;一个表达永恒的事物的条理而言,感觉,其他方面的思想。
科学的关系一直都很不稳定与文化的其他方面。
认为伽利略的17世纪审判他叛逆性的信仰天主教教堂前或诗人威廉·布莱克的尖刻的言辞反对艾萨克·牛顿的机械的世界观。
科学与人文之间的分裂,如果有的话,本世纪。
直到最近科学界非常强大,它可以对其批评者不予理会——但不再。
由于科研经费减少了,科学家已经袭击了“反科学”几本书,尤其是更高的迷信,由保罗·r·格罗斯和弗吉尼亚大学的生物学家和数学家诺曼·莱维特合著的罗格斯大学,由世界,由康奈尔大学的卡尔·萨根。
科学的捍卫者也在会议上表示了他们的担忧,如“航班从科学和原因,”1995年在纽约市举行,“时代的科学(Mis)信息”,去年6月在布法罗附近聚集。
反科学显然对不同的人意味着不同的东西。
格罗斯和莱维特主要的社会学家、哲学家和其他学者质疑科学客观性。
萨根则更关注那些相信鬼怪、上帝造物论和其他与科学世界观相左的现象。

求一篇英文演讲稿,3分钟以内,关于科技与生活的
Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we will share the topic of science and technology and life. In today's society, everyday life is inseparable from science and technology. Science and technology are everywhere, food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything. But we can not help but ask, if we leave science and technology, or one day, science and technology are out of the control of human beings, such as artificial intelligence, can our life remain stable?

大家帮忙写篇英语演讲稿啊~~ 加急
Objectively SpeakingPeople in this world can be divided into two categories: those always working and those always making comments. The working ones never have time to idle away. Some may run a hotel, or do some business; some may open a factory or set up a school; others may be absorbed in scientific research, or devoted to military affairs or political issues. Right or wrong, successful or failed, they are always fully committed to their careers. Facing all kinds of risks(not because they neglect them, but mainly because they have the courage), and shouldering the responsibilities, they march forward, bravely and cautiously. They are risking their luck and their lives as well. They have neither time nor energy to comment on others. While attentively planning the future, they devote themselves wholly in hard work, leaving the embroidered stories and malicious gossips flying in the air. The commenting ones, however, usually work less, and even if they want to work sometimes, they simply are not capable enough. They are no better than anyone, but show admiration to nobody either. They blame either the heaven, or the earth, but never themselves. They dare not to take any risks, but they are also afraid of any hard work. They are gossip-mongers, making stories and spreading rumors, making you feel annoyed and upset. It's not because that you have hurt them, or disturbed them, or hindered them, but because you are working. If only you are working, he is there commenting. Everything is hard at the beginning. You have just started a new cause, needing encouragement and support, yet he is there pouring a jar of cold water or blowing a gust of chilly wind, making you worried or perplexed. But once you have succeeded, he is there again sharing your success without feeling a little ashamed of the discouragement he had given you. Many people don't like using their mind but enjoy echoing the views of others. They often take it for granted that the working ones are wrong while the commenting ones are definitely right. However in all fairness, how can it be true? Not working itself is already wrong, and it is a blunder to hurt the hard working people. From ancient time to the present, many great men have been commented on endlessly. Take the cases of Confucius, Emperor Qinshihuang, Empress Wu Zetian, Gengis Khan, Dr. Sun Yet-sun, Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaoping, etc.. Both positive and negative criticism have been made about them. They not only enjoyed compliments but also suffered slanders from all over the world. When commenting on what's right and what's wrong, the commenting ones themselves don't really know what is wrong and what is right. They are simply demanding perfection. When criticizing the others' inability, they themselves are actually unable to do anything, but simply pretending that they know better. This can well be compared with the actors and spectators. A new program is always followed by large amounts of criticism from the spectators. But if a spectator is given a chance to perform, a disaster will surely happen. Diners are always commenting on the skills of the chefs while readers are always criticizing the writers. Another case in point is the forty-chapter sequel of A Dream of the Red Mansions , which were written by Gao E who did a nearly perfect job. Nevertheless there are always such people who claim to be the experts on the novel, criticizing the latter forty chapters as a wretched sequel to a fine work. What if we ask them to write the sequel? I'm afraid they can only make it worse. It's easier said than done. Capable and wealthy people are always the focus of the society. Capable people are usually marching ahead of others and may not be properly understood, hence causing various kinds of comments, more criticism but less support; Capable people can easily succeed, thus causing both admiration and comments, more jealousy but less appreciation (only their good luck is recognized); Capable people can be sought for help and attract the attention of the society, thus causing a lot of comments, more complaints but less gratitude (even though they didn't ask anyone for help, if only they were not able to help others in a satisfactory way, it's already their fault); Capable people can also suffer setbacks (some even experience ups and downs many times), experiencing fully the warmth and coldness of the human world, more hurts but less helps. Wealthy people are non the easier. No doubt there are cruel-hearted rich men, but it is also wrong to think that no wealthy people are kind-hearted. They are capable of devising and managing and they often need to take risks to get the chance. But who care about these? Whenever a group are dining or entertaining, everyone will take it for granted that the rich should pay the bill instead of going Dutch. If the rich doesn't pay, then he'll definitely be regarded as a miser; Among good friends and relatives, the rich should often help the poor, otherwise he will surely be blamed for his cruel-heartedness; From the ancient times, people have been used to killing the rich to save the poor, without thinking about how the rich became rich and the poor stayed poor. The policy of “allowing some people to get rich” has balanced people's mind to some extent, but there is still a long way to go before we can get rid of “the hatred toward the wealthy”. Capable people or rich people are just human, neither sages nor perfect men. They have their own faults, and they may also commit mistakes. But objectively speaking, some mistakes are forced on them, which are the expectations of the public. They are expected to do this or that, but when expectations become disappointments, they have to take the blaming. In fact, it's the public's fault to demand for perfection or counting on unrealistic expectations of the rich. I encourage people to work, even though they may commit mistakes. I advise those enjoying commenting to make some effort to do something for the others. I hope people can make comments objectively instead of subjectively, without going to extremes, and not out of preference. I also hope that the hard-working people do not care too much about what the others say, even what the others criticize. You should believe that public opinions will finally decide what's right and what's wrong. What we need is just time. Translated by Zhang Baodan 以下是中文翻译世界上总有一些人在做事,总有一些人在说事。
做事的人不闲着,或者包个饭店,或者搞个买卖,或者办个工厂,或者建个学校,或者专心科研,或者从军从政。
也许对,也许错;也许成功,也许失败,但很投入。
他们担着天下的风险(并非都是忽略,大多还是敢于面对),扛着双肩的责任,奋然前行,又战战兢兢,常常是在赌运、也赌命。
他们没有时间去说别人的事,也没有精力去理会别人的事。
他们抬头看路,埋头做事,任由别人的飞短流长。
说事的人,常常是不大做事。
或者也曾经想做事,但做不来。
他们可能谁都不如,但又谁都不服。
怨天怨地,不怨自己。
他们不敢担任何的风险,又不肯出少许的力气。
一件事,他们能从头说到尾。
先是乌鸦叫,后来喜鹊噪,一会一变脸,令你心烦闹。
并不是你伤害了他,并不是你干扰了他,并不是你阻碍了他。
但只要你在做事,他就会来说事。
万事开头难。
当你刚刚起步,正需要鼓励与支持的时候,他会一盆凉水,一股阴风,让你浑身不舒服。
而一旦你业有所成,他又会满面春风地来分一瓢羹,好象不曾给过你那片下雨的乌云。
世上有许多人不喜欢动脑,却习惯于人云亦云。
他们常以为错在做事的人,理在说事的人。
但平心而论,怎么会这样呢
不做事,本身就是错。
再打击做事的人,不是错上加错嘛
从古至今,许多能人,伟人,都被无休无止地评论着。
如孔夫子、秦始皇、武则天、成吉思汗、孙中山、、等,说是的有,说非的也有。
也堪称誉满天下,谤满天下。
说人是非,并非明白是非,不过是求全责备而已。
说人不行,未必自己真行,不过装腔作势而已。
就如演员与观众,每个节目出来,都会有一大堆褒贬。
但真让观众上台,可能又演不成了。
食客总是在评论厨师的手艺,读者总是在评论作者的长短。
再如《红楼梦》的后四十回,乃高鄂所续写。
公平地说,几近天衣无缝。
但就有那么些人,甚至打着红学家的招牌,一定要说后四十回怎么不行,怎么狗尾续貂。
真不行吗
就让这几位“红学家”写写看,他们恐怕连鼠尾都拿不出来。
侃山容易,搬山难啊。
能人、富人,永远都是社会的焦点。
能人可能超前,为世人所不理解,会引起议论纷纷,支持的少,攻击的多。
能人可能成功,引起世人的羡慕,也会引起众多评论,佩服的少,嫉妒的多。
(只承认你的运气和侥幸) 能人可能被求助,受到世人的关注,从而导致事后的品评,感谢的少,抱怨的多。
(你没有求人,但别人求你的事没办或没办好,都是你的错。
) 能人也会遭遇挫折,(有人甚至三起三落)感受人心的冷暖,洞知世态的炎凉,帮扶的少,推墙的多。
富人也不轻松。
固然也有为富不仁者,但也不能说所有的富者都不仁。
他们还有经营能力和运作手段,并且常常要充满冒险地去把握先机。
但谁管这些
一群人吃饭或游乐,大家一定会认为要富者买单,而不是 AA 制。
如果你不买,那就是吝啬。
在亲朋好友的圈子里如果有富者,那就必须经常周济他人,否则就会被指责无情无义。
自古就有“杀富济贫”,不管富是怎么富,贫是怎么贫。
允许一部分人先富起来的政策,让人们的心态好多了。
但仇富观念的消除,还要漫长的历程。
能人、富人都是人,既不神圣,也非完人。
他们都有自身的毛病,也会犯各种错误。
但平心而论,还有一种错误是别人强加的,那就是众人的期望。
期望他们这样,期望他们那样,期望变成了失望,就成了他们的错。
对他们求全责备也好,对他们非份希求也好,其实都不应算作他们的错。
我主张鼓励做事的人,哪怕他们真的有错。
我奉劝说事的人,自己也努力去做些可做的事。
我希望人们能平心而论天下事,不要偏激,不要掺杂个人的恩怨,不要取舍于个人的得失。
我更希望做事的人,不要太在意别人一时怎么说、甚至怎么骂。
要相信,是非自有公论,只是个时间问题。
英语演讲稿怎么写
英语演讲稿跟一般的是一样的..演讲稿是一种实用性比较强的文体。
是为演讲准备的书面材料。
那么,什么是演讲呢
演讲是在公众面前就某一问题发表自己的见解的口头语言活动它的特点是:第一,它是在人与人之间进行的;第二,它有一定的时间性;第三,它是为了阐述某一问题或整理而开展的;第四,它带有一定的鼓动性和说服性。
像演讲比赛、典礼致辞、会议发言、学术讲座、科研报告、竞选演说、就职演说、法庭陈述等,都带有演讲的性质。
演讲稿是演讲用的文稿,也是演讲的依据。
它是为演讲服务的,是体现在书面上的讲话材料。
演讲有内容、目的的不同,演讲稿也具有不同的形态,有报导、有说明、有论辩、有答谢等。
总的来说,它的特征可以概括如下: 1、内容上的现实性 演讲稿是为了说明一定的观点和态度的。
这个观点和态度一定要与现实生活紧密相关。
它讨论的应该是现实生活中存在的并为人们所关心的问题。
它的观点要来自身边的生活或学习,材料也是如此。
它得是真实可信,是为了解决身边的问题而提出和讨论的。
2、情感上的说服性 演讲的目的和作用就在于打动听众,使听者对讲话者的观点或态度产生认可或同情。
演讲稿作为这种具有特定目的的讲话稿,一定要具有说服力和感染力。
很多著名的政治家都是很好的演讲者,他们往往借肋于自己出色的演讲,为自己的政治斗争铺路。
3、特定情景性 演讲稿是为演讲服务的,不同的演讲有不同的目的、情绪,有不同的场合和不同的听众,这些构成演讲的情景,演讲稿的写作要与这些特定情景相适应。
4、口语化 演讲稿的最终目的是用于讲话,所以,它是有声语言,是书面化的口语。
因此,演讲稿要“上口”、“入耳”,它一方面是把口头语言变为书面语言,即化声音为文字,起到规范文字、有助演讲的作用;另一方面,演讲稿要把较为正规严肃的书面语言转化为易听易明的口语,以便演讲。
同时,演讲稿的语言应适应演讲人的讲话习惯,同演讲者的自然讲话节奏一致。
演讲稿对于演讲都有哪些作用呢
主要体现在以下几方面:(1)整理演讲者的思路、提示演讲的内容、限定演讲的速度;(2)引导听众,使听众能更好地理解演讲的内容;(3)通过对语言的推究提高语言的表现力,增强语言的感染力。
由于演讲稿具有以上的特征和作用,它在写作方法上也有一定方法可循。
1、演讲稿的结构。
演讲稿的结构通常包括开场白、正文、结尾三部分。
开场白是演讲稿中很重要的部分。
好的开场白能够紧紧地抓住听众的注意力,为整场演讲的成功打下基础。
常用的开场白有点明主题、交代背景、提出问题等。
不论哪种开场白,目的都是使听众立即了解演讲主题、引入正文、引起思考等。
演讲稿的正文也是整篇演讲的主体。
主体必须有重点、有层次、有中心语句。
演讲主体的层次安排可按时间或空间顺序排列,也可以平行并列、正反对比、逐层深入。
由于演讲材料是通过口头表达的,为了便于听众理解,各段落应上下连贯,段与段之间有适当的过渡和照应。
结尾是演讲内容的收束。
它起着深化主题的作用。
结尾的方法有归纳法、引文法、反问法等。
归纳法是概括一篇演讲的中心思想,总结强调主要观点;引文法则是引用名言警句,升华主题、留下思考;反问法是以问句引发听众思考和对演讲者观点的认同。
此外,演讲稿的结尾也可以用感谢、展望、鼓舞等语句作结,使演讲能自然收束,给人留下深刻印象。
大多数演讲稿如同一篇议论文,有主要观点,有对主要观点的论证。
一篇演讲稿最好只有一个主题,这是由演讲稿的特定情景性和时间性所决定的。
在一个有限的时间段内,完全借助于语言、手势等向听众讲明一个问题或道理,同时又要说服听众,就要求在写作演讲稿时一定要突出主题、观点鲜明。
主题选定了,还要收集相应的材料对之进行论证。
材料的选择要通俗,要选择大多数人都知道的、听得懂的,而不能选择太生僻的、很少有人知道的。
因为演讲一即时表演,听众没有时间去验证或查找这些材料的内容或是出处。
因此,在准备演讲稿之前首先要了解听众的情况:他们是些什么人,他们的思想状况、文化程度、职业状况如何,他们所关心的问题是什么,等等。
掌握了听众的特征和心理,在此基础上恰当地选择材料,组织材料,是演讲成功的必要条件。
写作演讲稿还有一个特别要注意的,就是对演讲节奏和时间的把握。
每一场演讲都是有时间限制的,少则一分钟,多则一两小时甚至一天,演讲者必须把握自己演讲的速度和内容,既不能时间到了,还没有讲完,也不能距离演讲结束还有一段时间,而演讲者已经无话可说了。
演讲稿对于演讲速度和节奏的把握有着极其重要的作用。
写作时,要不时地停下来,用自己的正常语速大声朗读,根据朗读的结果调整演讲的内容。
另一方面,还要根据演讲时间的长短调整要讲的内容,做到整场演讲的音调有高低起伏、节奏有轻重缓急、情绪有高涨有低潮,波澜起伏、收舒有度。
最后,演讲稿还要在情绪上具有较强的感染力,语言上做到生动感人。
在没有时间限制的情况下,尽量做到短而精,在听众的精力分散前戛然而止,余味悠长。
一篇关于我为什么想当小学英语老师的演讲稿(2分钟左右)
我总以为,有春风拂过的地方一定会留下生机盎然,因为春风的柔情里满含着活力;我总相信,有你走过的地方一定会留下阳光明媚,因为你的笑容是那么名朗而自然,而科技,科技走过的地方又会留下什么呢? 在此,我不想说从远古的钻木取火到今天的电子打火经历了多少次改造的过程;我不想说从古人的徒步远行到今天的太空遨游倾注了多少科学家的心血;我不想说从40年代庞大的计算机到今天的掌上电脑走过了多么艰辛的历程,又注入了多高的科技含量,我不想说……,我只想用我所看到的和我所经历过的来谈谈科技在我们生活中扮演的角色有多么的重要 当然在科技建设中少不了科学家的存在。
钱学森为中国火箭和导弹技术的发展提出了极为重要的实施方案。
1956年4月起,他长期担任火箭导弹和航天器研制的技术领导职务,对中国火箭导弹和航天事业的发展作出了重大贡献。
邓稼先是中国核武器研制与发展的主要组织者、领导者,被称为“两弹元勋”。
袁隆平被誉为“杂交水稻之父”、“当代神农”、“米神”等。
他们的成功理所当然的源于科技,科技也就这样留下了见证中国成长的脚印。
记得很久以前,手机的用途几乎只有打电话,可是前几年,手机有了很大的改变,不仅外观漂亮多了,而且用途也多了,可以用手机拍照、开会、上网、发短信息等等一系列的事情,这让我们的生活更为方便,也让我更加领会到了科技的力量 在科技日益发展中,我们要做些什么呢
作为一个中学生,本职工作我不想说是好好学习,而是要学会创新。
人类得益于科技,科技得益于创新,创新是科技的灵魂。
现代无论是街头巷尾,还是茶余饭后,人们总也少不了聊上几句“基因技术”,从基因工程“让人活到一千岁”的梦想;到纳米技术“包你穿衣不用洗”的诺言;从人工智能“送你一只可爱机器狗”的温馨,到转基因技术“让老鼠长出人耳朵”的奇观。
这基因技术中蕴含着大量的科学技术等待着我们创新发现。
作为一个峰峰人,单凭自己力量是做不到和谐峰峰,生态峰峰,绿色峰峰。
但是“众人拾柴火焰高”,我们应该要宣传了。
让我们携手打造一个良好的生活环境。
通过科技让中国了解峰峰,让世人知道有一个和谐的、生态的、绿色的峰峰这些新科技正在逐步地改善我们的生活。
从曾经一个刚刚起步的改革开放的国家到现在的拥有领先的科技水平的大国,我们的祖国经历了多少的风风雨雨,多少的困难与坎坷,但是我们的祖国还是挺过来了,因为我们的祖国坚信——科技不仅改变命运,还可改变未来。
催征的战鼓已经敲响了,让我们携手向前,再向前;让科技离我们近些,再近些;让我们把科技推得高些,更高些……
英文演讲稿,关于名人或伟人的
Keynote Speech at Microsoft Professional Developers Conference Bill Gates11 December 1997 Beijing,ChinaGood morning. It's a great pleasure to be here. Today is a major milestone [1] for Microsoft as our first Professional Developers Conference here in China. The key partnerships we build with software developers around the world are central not only to the success of Windows but also to realize the possibility that PC technology provides. It's through applications of every variety that businesses will be using the personal computer as the tool of the Information Age. It's rather amazing how fast this innovation [2] is moving. Even to keep the like of myself who are deeply involved in the industry to go and see the improvement and every element that are taking place on a yearly basis is quite fantastic. Of course one of the driving factors of this business is the exponential increase in processor performance. There is no doubt that the magic of chip capability has delivered through the advance in microprocessor allows us to think of application which never would have been possible before.The PC industry is one of the few industries that can deliver lower price equipment at the same time as improving the capabilities. The storage systems are now delivering Gigabyte of storage as the standard capability. Over 80 million of PCs are being sold a year. And the server market, the higher performance machines that these PCs networked with, are the fastest growing part of this business. The performance of those servers is increasing not only because the individual processors are faster, but also because we are using multiple-processor machines, so called SMP designs and clustering nodes together.……Great chips, systems developers, partners who are sponsoring [3] this event, making this all possible. There is an incredible opportunity for developers. The applications that are written today will sell to an even larger base of machines out in the market. There is a lot that we're doing to increase the work of good developers-make sure they understand where the PC is going and how tools can help them now, more and more marketing type of activities making sure they got in with the customers. This is something that we are going to increase year after year.The overall [4] DNS message is one about helping developers seize that opportunity by bringing together the different architectures, making things automatic and allowing this to be done in an evolutionary fashion. I think it's a fantastic time to be developer and we appreciate being here and look forward to the opportunity to work with you more. Thank you
