第一篇：英语演讲
Man, guys, you know, it's...I can't believe how fast 20 years went by.This is crazy.This is absolutely crazy.And to be standing here at center court with you guys, my teammates behind me and appreciating all this, the journey that we've been onmy wife Vanessa, my daughters Natalia and Gianna-thank you guys for all your sacrifices.You know...for all the hours I spent in the gym working and training, and Vanessa, you holding down the family the way that you have, I can't...there's no way that I can thank you enough.So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.And what can I say? Mamba out.啊，伙计们，我简直无法相信20年就这么过去了。这太疯狂了，真的太疯狂了。
和你们大家伙儿一起站在中心球场上，有队友们在我身后，我对此十分感激，我们所经历的旅途中有着高山低谷跌宕起伏，但最重要的是我们始终都团结在一起。我从小就是湖人队的死忠粉，绝对死忠，毋庸置疑。我了解所有在湖人队服役球员的一切。
所以被应征交易到这个团队并效力了20年，没有比这个更值得纪念的了。
更令我自豪的不是冠军，而是那些低谷期。因为我们没有逃避，我们没有逃避，而是战胜了那些困难。我们获得了总冠军，我们的做法是对的。
在此我所能做的事只有感谢你们大家。谢谢你们多年来的支持。感谢你们的激励和鼓励。你知道搞笑的是，今天整晚都让我抓狂的是20年来所有人都在吼着让我传球，然而在最后一晚，他们都在吼着“别传球。”
这真是太美好了，伙计们。我无法相信这就要结束了。
你们将永远留在我的心里，我十分真挚地感激着这一切。言语已经无法表达我对你们的感受了。
谢谢，我打心底里感谢你们。天呐我爱你们，我爱死你们了。
我还要感谢我的家人，我的妻子Vanessa，女儿Natalia和Gianna，感谢你们做出的牺牲。当我在体育馆训练的时候，是Vanessa你用自己的方式在支撑着这个家庭，我无法...对此我感激不尽，我发自内心的感谢你。我该怎么说呢？曼巴精神永不灭。
Ladies and gentlemen, Never before have we had so many different ways to talk to one another.女士们，先生们。我们同彼此交流的途径从未像今天这样多元化。
In the distant past, written documents would be carried by hand across thousands of miles from China to Western Europe.在遥远的古代，人么需要亲手将书面文件从中国运送到数千里外的西欧。
Today, we access knowledge from all over the world, through our mobile phones, at the tap of a key.如今我们可以通过手机上的一个按键，获取来自全世界的知识。
Wherever you are watching this programme—whether in this hall, at work, with your friends, or at home with your families;Xiexie(thank you)无论你们在哪里收看这期节目，是今天在这座大厅里，还是正在工作，是跟朋友在一起，还是在家中陪伴着家人。
Hen gaoxing he ni jianmian(I'm pleased to meet you)
谢谢，很高兴和你们见面。Thank you for welcoming me into your homes.感谢你们欢迎我来到你们的家。
Many of the most important conversations we have in our lives, take place in the family home.我们人生中很多最重要的谈话都是在家中发生的。
The home is where we learn from our parents and grandparents, 家是我们向父母与祖父母学习的地方。
teach our own children, and share our stories and hopes for the future.是我们教育子女的地方，是我们分享人生故事、共同憧憬未来的地方。It is where many of our ideas and values are first kindles.它是我们许多理念与价值，初次被点燃的地方。
In that spirit, there is one subject I believe we have to discuss, around our family tables and across the generations.本着这一精神，我相信有一个主题是我们必须要在家中餐桌旁，几代人共同讨论的。It concerns the future, and I know the Chinese are a far-sighted people.它关乎未来，而我知道中国人民是充满远见的。
It concerns particularly the environment, and I know that protecting China's rich and beautiful natural heritage is important to all Chinese families.它尤为关乎我们的环境，而我知道保护中国富饶又美丽的环境遗产对所有中国家庭来说都是重要的议题。It is the mass destruction and trafficking of iconic endangered species.现在我们需要探讨一下大规模杀伤和贩运标志性濒危物种的话题了。
And it is time to talk about the growing human demand for illegal wildlife products that drives the trade and makes it profitable.我们需要探讨一下，正是因为人们对这些濒危物种制品的需求不断增加才驱动了贩卖野生动植物的交易，提高了它的经济价值。
Drives n.驱动器；驱动力；驱动程序（drive的复数形式）
destruction [di'strʌkʃən] n.破坏，毁灭，破坏者 environment [in'vaiərənmənt] n.环境，外界 profitable ['prɔfitəbl] adj.有益的，有用的
illegal [i'li:gəl] adj.不合法的，非法的n.非法移民species ['spi:ʃiz] n.（单复同）物种，种类 mass [mæs] n.块，大量，众多adj.群众的，大规模
Today, we face an unprecedented surge in the brutal slaughter of iconic animals by poachers.今天，我们面临着偷猎者对标志性物种前所未有的疯狂杀戮。
In South Africa, for example, one rhino was killed every month until 2005.比如在南非，截止到2005年，平均每个月都有一头犀牛被杀害。
But last year, three rhinos were killed every single day.但是在去年每一天就有三头犀牛被杀害。In the 33 years since I was born we have lost around 70 percent of Africa's elephant population.在我出生至今的33年里，非洲已经失去了近70%的野生大象。威廉王子向中国人发表关爱野生动物演讲.jpg Of those that are left, 20,000 are being killed every year—that is 54 elephants killed every single day.在那些剩下的非洲象中，每年又有两万头被杀害，相当于每天都有54头大象被杀害。
At this rate, children born this year – like my daughter Charlotte – will see the last wild elephants and rhinos die before their 25th birthdays.按照这个速度，今年出生的孩子比如我的女儿夏洛特会在他们迎来25岁生日前就见到最后的野生大象和犀牛死去。
Those who suffer the most from this loss are some of the poorest people on our planet.我们这个星球上一些最为贫穷的人们受此影响最大。
They are the families who feel powerless as the wildlife around them disappear;who face being trapped in poverty forever without the income that should be brought in by tourism, a cornerstone of the economy in many developing nations.他们这些家庭只能眼睁睁地看着周围的野生动植物消失而失去了旅游业带来的收入，又让他们永远深陷贫困的泥潭。因为旅游业正是许多发展中国家的经济基石。
They are the children whose parents risk their lives in the fight against poachers.这些孩子的父母冒着生命危险与偷猎者抗争。
In the last few days, three rangers and one member of the Armed Forces were killed by poachers in one incident in central Africa;就在过去几天，三位护林员和一位武装部队成员在中非被偷猎者杀害了，leaving behind 14 children between them.抛下了14个孩子撒手人寰。
It is these children's future that is blighted so tragically by the illegal wildlife trade, and it is their birth right that is stolen.这些孩子的未来被非法贩卖野生动植物的交易无情地摧残了，同时他们与生俱来的权利也被剥夺了。There is no hiding from these facts today.今天我们已无法回避这些事实。
On our phones, laptops and our TV screens, we can see the images and read the reports that lay bare the truth of this crisis.通过我们的手机、平板电脑和电视屏幕上，我们都可以看到各种相关图片和新闻报道将这场危机事实暴露在我们面前。
That knowledge brings responsibility – the responsibility to do everything in our power to reverse the march towards the eradication of these fine animals.伴随着真相而来的是责任，我们有责任尽自己所能努力扭转这些濒危物种走向灭绝的结局。The good news is that we are far from powerless in this struggle.We can turn the tide of extinction.好消息是我们在这场抗争中远远不是无能为力，我们有能力逆转潮流。We know where the animals we are trying to protect live.我们知道我们试图保护的动物在哪里生存。
We know many of the roads, the airports and ports criminals use to transport their cargo from killing field to marketplace.我们知道许多犯罪分子秘密地将货物从偷猎地运送到市场的公路、机场和港口。
And over the last few years we have seen a groundswell of action by governments to improve their laws and work across borders to fight the traffickers.并且在过去几年里我们看到了许多政府迅速实际行动起来，通过加强法规和跨境联合执法打击走私者。重点单词

Only last month President Xi announced that China will take steps to halt the domestic trade in ivory, 就在上个月习主席宣布中国会采取措施遏制国内象牙交易。
adding to the ban on ivory carving imports he announced in February.他今年二月份也宣布禁止象牙雕刻的进口。
But we know the illegal wildlife trade cannot be solved by governments alone.但是我们知道仅仅依靠政府是无法解决非法野生动物贸易的。
The spotlight falls back on all of us, and on the choices we have to make to play our part in addressing this problem.焦点重新回到我们所有人身上。为了解决这个问题，我们应该做出选择贡献我们的力量。
We have to accept the truth that consumers are driving the demand for animal body parts, for art, for trinkets, for medicine.我们必须承认是消费者驱动了对用动物身体制作的艺术品、装饰品和药品的需求。
Only we as consumers can put the wildlife traffickers out of business, by ending our demand for their products.只有我们这些消费者可以通过不再购买他们的产品，而让野生动物走私者的生意倒闭。I know we can do this.我知道我们可以做到。
The desire to possess animal trophies, or ornaments made from ivory, has been felt on every continent for centuries.对动物制品和象牙饰品的渴求已经在各个大洲上绵延了数个世纪。I know this topic is sensitive for many families.我知道对许多家庭来说这都是一个敏感的话题。
For example, until 100 years ago my ancestors were among those who had little concern about acquiring ivory, 例如直到100年前我的祖先还像其他人一样热衷于获取象牙，without the knowledge of the threats of extinction, corruption, and violence that the ivory trade would lead to.丝毫没有意识到象牙贸易会导致怎样的暴力、腐败和灭绝的威胁。My rejection of ivory today is not a judgement of past generations.我今天反对象牙贸易并不是对上几代人的妄加评断。
It is an acceptance of the world as I find it today and the world I want my children, George and Charlotte, to inherit.它只是我对于当今世界的看法，也是一个我想让自己的孩子乔治与夏洛特想要继承的世界。
Likewise, those doctors and medical practitioners in China that are speaking out against the use of endangered species in medicine, 类似的那些在中国反对在药材中使用野生动物的医生和从医者，they are not judging previous generations who did not have the facts that you do today.他们不是在批评那些缺乏资讯的前辈。
They are just accepting the truth that all credible evidence and scientific research shows, 他们只是接受了可靠证据和科学研究新发现的事实。
for example, that rhino horn cannot cure cancer.例如犀牛角并不能治疗癌症。
We have a responsibility to act on the facts we have today.我们有责任根据我们当下的事实而行动。
By doing so we are honouring the generations that have come before us and we are protecting those that are yet to come.这是对付出努力的前辈的尊重，也是对后来人的保护。
I do not think that any of us would stand and watch an elephant or rhino being killed—or a ranger being gunned down 我不相信我们中的任何一个人会愿意眼睁睁地看着一头大象或犀牛被猎杀，或者一位护林员被戕害，because we wanted a bracelet or an ornament to impress someone else as a gift.仅仅为了一条讨好他人的手镯或者其他装饰品。
But that is what the demand for wildlife products means in practice.但它们确实是野生动物制品需求的来源。

The decisions we make as consumers affect the lives of ordinary people thousands of miles away, in countries we may never visit.我们作为消费者所做的决定会影响到数千里之外普通人的生活。他们生活在我们可从没有去过的国家。If we buy illegal wildlife products, we are contributing to the extinction of whole species.如果我们购买非法的野生动物制品，我们就是在促成整个物种的灭绝。
But there is good news, and if you remember one thing, I want you to remember this: We can win this battle.但是也有好消息，如果你们想要记住一件事，我就希望你们能记住这一点：我们能够赢得这场斗争。Each generation decides what it values.每一代人都可以决定什么事情最重要。
Each generation can determine what we consider to be beautiful on the one hand, or unacceptable or immoral on the other.每一代人都可以衡量出一方面什么是美好的，另一方面什么又是不可接受和不道德的。We can act in solidarity with those fighting poaching and trafficking in their communities.我们可以和那些打击偷猎和走私的人们共同行动起来。
I am absolutely convinced that China can become a global leader in the protection of wildlife.我完全相信中国可以在保护野生动物方面成为领导者。
Your influence in the world means you can change the face of conservation in this century.你们在世界上的影响力意味着你们可以改变这个世纪自然保护的现状。
This would be a contribution that would go down in history, one that your great grandchildren would speak of with great pride.这将是一个名垂青史的贡献，你们的子孙说起它的时候都会面带自豪。
The greatest inheritance we can pass on to the next generation is a safe and sustainable environment: the priceless endowment of nature.我们可以留给后代最宝贵的遗产就是一个安全和可持续发展的环境，大自然无价的恩赐。
Let us not tell our children the sad tale of how we watched as the last elephants, rhinos and tigers died out, 让我们不要把悲伤的故事告诉我们的孩子，我们是怎样看着最后的大象、犀牛和老虎死去的。but the inspiring story of how we turned the tide and preserved them for all humanity.但我们要告诉他们振奋的故事，我们怎样逆转潮流为了全人类保护了这些动物。
And in so doing, let us show the world that by working together we can stand up to the great challenges our planet and our families will face in the generations to come.xie xie.(thank you)请让我们告诉全世界，通过一起努力我们可以共同面对这个星球和我们的家庭在未来几代将会面临的挑战。谢谢！

第二篇：英语演讲
Good morning , ladies and Gentlemen
Today it is my great honor to be here and make a speech about my view on computer games.I would like to begin with a story.It is about my elder cousin.He is 24 now.What a great and beautiful age ,full of hope, dream , and success.But all these beautiful things are so far away him , a murderer who has been kept him in prison for two years.He used to be a top student in senior high school.But since he fell in love with computer gemes，he spent all of his time sitting in front of the screen , crazily playing those computer games day and night.As a result , his school records turned out to be a mess.What’s more , one day he had a quarrel with his partner.My cousin grabbed an cap and hit heavily on his partner’head.That was the tragedy,for both of them.So my view is strong , definite , and clear.Down with computer games!
Nowadays children are spending far too much time on computer games.They don’t realize that computer games are in fact nothing but a great waste of time , money and energy.They don’t realize how harmful the computer games are to their physical and mental growth.First of all ,many children are so much appeal to computer games that they even forget food and sleep.It is very bad for their phsical health.For example , children desert the football ground as they all sit at home around the computer plauing the games which are noisy , and will damage their eyes and ears.As a result , children cannot be physically fit and strong.Secondly , computer games distract children’s attention form their studies.They finish their homework in a hurry , or even copy their classmates’, in order to squeeze time to play games.Thirdy ,some computer games are filled with violence and sex.Children are too young to tell right from wrong.They may blindly imitate the bad behavior.Computer gamesare realy extremely harmful to their mental growth.Therefore ,down with computer games!They are just fantasy.Young people should be encouraged to do more meaningful and museums.They should be encouraged to set a real goal in life and pursue their great ideals All in all , down with computer games!.

第四篇：英语演讲
1.演讲前的准备
准备是搞好演讲的前提。首先是要确立一个题目或一个话题。一般演讲赛都分为命题演讲和即兴演讲。如要进行演讲比赛则必须对各个方面加以准备：政治、经济、文化、教育等，找好立意点，拟定题目，如政治方面的演讲主题：WTO、统一、和平与发展、机遇与挑战；经济方面演讲主题：西部大开发、农村经济、再就业；教育方面演讲方题：中西方教育的不同、远程教育、终身教育、枪手；文化方面演讲主题：文化的交流与融合、校园文化；环保方面演讲主题：man and nature；科技方面演讲主题：网络、克隆、基因；卫生方面演讲主题：keep physically and mentally healthy；体育方面演讲主题：Olympics……有些方面题目太大，可从多角度和多侧面思考，找好切入点，将题目细化和具体化，写出演讲稿的提纲，构思和组织演讲稿结构。
拟定好话题后的第二步就是演讲材料的收集与整理。其中最好的方法就是有计划地阅
读大量的英语原文以及各类英语报刊杂志，阅读是一个循序渐进的过程，同时也是培养英语思维的过程，对提高英语的口头表达能力和书面表达能力是至关重要的。利用有关资源与材料（如图书、报刊、杂志或网络资源等）收集所需的内容。然后对材料加以整理或进行梳理，舍弃不太重要的内容或用不上的材料，准备写演讲稿。演讲稿的写作
演讲稿首先开头要开门见山，既要一下子抓住听众又要提出你的观点，中间要用各种方法和所准备的材料说明、支持你的论点，感染听众，然后在结尾加强说明论点或得出结论，结束演讲。
演讲稿的写作有严格的要求，就内容而言要主题鲜明，表达完整；就文章组织结构而言要思维清晰，逻辑性强；就语言而言要有感染力、形象生动。写作时可根据需要有效、正确地使用英语写作方法和技巧，如恰当地运用明喻、暗喻、夸张等各种修辞方法，用
词要准确，尽量避免使用生僻、模糊、晦涩的字词。总之，要考虑听众对象，注意演讲的措辞，但又要简明扼要、有理有力、结构紧凑。许多著名的演说家的不朽之作都有振奋人心、扭转乾坤般的力量。从马丁．路德．金的“I have a dream”，美国总统林肯所作的著名的盖茨堡演说，到克林顿在北大的演说，不少句子都成为不朽的佳句，值得认真研读.3进行演讲
具备演讲的知识和技巧，演讲稿的完成只是演讲的序幕，要进行成功的演讲则要进行严格的训练。训练时，分析演讲要领，训练演讲技巧和姿势语，观看CCTV杯和爱立信杯等英语演讲的录像，了解并按照比赛评分标准进行严格的模拟训练，观察演讲过程是否具备以下特点：主题鲜明，表达完整（演讲内容）；思维清晰，逻辑性强（文章组织结构）；感情充沛，富有表现力（演讲气势）；发音正确，语音语调标准（英语语音）；反
应敏捷，回答准确（心理素质）；着装整洁，仪态大方等等。
除此之外，还要有良好的心理素质。多进行模拟演讲，有良好的心理素质，才能更好地表现自己，取得演讲的良好效果。有的同学能讲一口地道的美式英语，但由于缺乏良好的心理素质而怯场，甚至在比赛中紧张得说不出话来或有一些不良的举止而被淘汰出局。
有了充分的准备，进行演讲就不太难了。在演讲的整个过程中还要注意一些演讲的要领与技巧，如演讲者与听众目光的接触（eye contact），声音的抑扬顿挫（vocal variety），和肢体语言的配合（hand gestures and body language）等等，但要恰当，不要太多，否则会喧宾夺主，影响演讲效果。
掌握了这些要领，有了充分的知识储备，再加上良好的心理素质，一定会成功的.即兴演讲是多即兴？一点准备时间都没有的么？
我觉得首先应该要知道具体都需要讲些什么，第一点第二点在心里面都要清楚，有必要的时候写下来可以在接下来说的时候作为提醒。
其次就是每个要讲的点，就叫论点好了，最好都举个比较简单的例子去支撑这个论点。有的时候你可以说according to 谁谁谁或者xxx书籍，去更好的支撑你的论点，非正式场合，基本上可以胡编乱语，但正式场合一定要有理论依据或者论据来源。举例子举一两个就好，举多了就跑题。举例子的同时就可以考虑下一步要说什么。
论点之间会有转折，接续等等的词，比如转折就有however，in spite of, although, etc.接续就有moreover，furthermore，thus。当然像firstly，secondly, thirdly也比较经常会用到。还有就是即兴演讲有的时候说的很兴奋，可能说的东西不是那么正确，你就要说，this is only my opinion，或者其他类似，这只是我的意见。如果你知道有不同的意见，你并不同意，当然也要提一两句，并且给出你不同意的原因。
还有就是开头结尾很重要，一定要有礼貌，开头要说你即兴演讲的题目是什么，你首先要稍微总结一下你对这个题目的观点是什么。
结尾的时候你要对题目还是要做一下总结，这很重要。然后要说，Thank you for your time, is there any question?当然也可以不用说有没有什么问题。
条理一定要清楚，虽然有可能会胡言乱语，但是大体上要说的让人有共鸣，听的懂。
语速不要太快，会更紧张，尽量慢慢说，这样也让自己有考虑接下来要说什么的时间。
当然你平时最好就给自己一两个题目然后说，我有的时候睡不着就给自己一个题目，然后信口开河，要说出来不能在心里想，慢慢的就能形成自己一套的演讲方式，所有任何题目都可以往这一套演讲方式里面套。演讲技巧一般认为有以下几点：
1.做好演讲的准备
包括了解听众，熟悉主题和内容，搜集素材和资料，准备演讲稿，作适当的演练等。
2.选择优秀的演讲者
优秀的演讲者包括下述条件：（1）足够的权威性；（2）演讲者具有较强的语音能力和技巧：（3）演讲者的热情；（4）演讲者的理智与智慧；（5）演讲者的仪表状态
3.运用演讲艺术
包括开场白的艺术，结尾的艺术，立论的艺术，举例的艺术，反驳的艺术，幽默的艺术，鼓动的艺术，语音的艺术，表情动作的艺术等等，通过运用各种演讲艺术，使演讲具备两种力量：逻辑的力量和艺术的力量。

大学英语励志演讲稿
英语励志演讲稿范文(一)
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 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 exerting 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!
