第一篇:Severn Suzuki联合国演讲稿(中英对照)
Hello, I'm Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O.but really you are mothers and fathers, brothers and sister, aunts and unclesnot be
greedy。
在学校,甚至在幼稚园,你们大人教我们如何处世,你们告诉我们不要打架,要尊重对方。找出答案,解决矛盾。去分享,而不是贪婪。
Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?
你们大人为什么去做与你们教导孩子相反的事情呢?
Do not forget why you're attending these conferences, who you're doing this for--we are your own children.You are deciding what kind of world we will grow up in.Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying “everyting's going to be alright” , “we're doing the best we can” and “it's not the end of
the
world”。
不要忘记你们为何而来到这里开会,你们为谁做事情?我们是你们的下一代,你们正在决定我们将要在一个什么样的环境中成长,父母需要能够宽慰孩子们,告诉他们“一切都没问题,那不是世界末日,我们正在尽其所能的改变”。
But I don't think you can say that to us anymore.Are we even on your list of priorities? My father always says “You are what you do,not
what
you
say.”
但我不能再相信这样的话了,孩子们还是你们的优选名单吗?我爸爸总是说:“听其言,观其行,是认识一个人最好的方法”。
Well, what you do makes me cry at night.You grown ups say you love us.I challenge you, please make your actions reflect your
words.Thank
you
for
listening
然而,你们所做的事让我在夜晚哭泣,你们成年人说你们爱我们,我不会再相信了,因为只有行动和语言的合一,才是找回信任和未来的唯一方法!谢谢!
第二篇:艾玛沃特森联合国演讲HeForShe中英对照
I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women 6 months ago,and the more I’ve spoken about feminism, the more I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating.If there is one thing I know for certain.It is that this has to stop.For the record, feminism by definition is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.It is the theory of political, economic and social equality of the sexes.6个月前,我被任命为任联合国妇女署亲善大使。我对女权主义说的越多,越发现为妇女权利的斗争往往成为仇恨男人的代名词。这是必须应该停止的。女权主义,顾名思义,就是男性和女性应该享有同样的权利和机会。它是有关于政治、经济和社会等方面性别平等的理论。
I started questioning gender-based assumptions a long time ago.When I was 8, I was confused for being called “bossy” because I wanted to direct the plays that we would put on for our parents, but the boys were not.When at 14, I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media.When at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of their beloved sports teams because they didn’t want to appear muscly.When at 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings.I decided that I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me.But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word.Women are choosing not to identify as feminists.Apparently, I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men, unattractive even.我从很久之前就开始质疑基于性别歧视的假设。我8岁的时候,因为想要自己导演一次为父母表演的节目,结果被说是霸道,但是男生却不会被这么说,我对此感到很困惑。14岁的时候,我开始被媒体的特定元素性别化;15岁时,我的女性朋友们放弃了她们喜爱的球队,只因为她们不想看起来肌肉发达;18岁的时候,我决定成为一个女性主义者时,我的男性朋友们拒绝表达他们的感受。这对我而言,非常简单。但通过我最近的研究发现,女性主义却是一个非常不被接受的词语。很多女性也不愿意被定义为女权主义者。显然,我跻身于强烈表达自身想法的女性之间了,被认为‘太嚣张了’,被认为是孤立的,仇视男性,甚至没有吸引力。
Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am from Britain, and I think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts.I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body.I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life.I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men.为什么这个词已变得那么令人不爽?我来自英国,我认为和男同事得到平等对待是正确的;我认为能够为自己的身体做决定是正确的;我认为(被掌声打断)……我认为女性能够代表我的利益、参与制定能影响到我的决策和决定是正确的。我认为,在社会层面上我能和男性们同样被尊重是正确的。
But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights.No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality.These rights, I considered to be human rights.But I am one of the lucky ones.但遗憾的是,我可以说,世界上没有一个国家的所有女性都可以指望得到这些权利。世界上也没有一个国家能说,他们已经实现了性别平等。这些权利,我认为是人权。
My life is a sheer privilege because my parents didn’t love me less because I was born a daughter.My school did not limit me because I was a girl.My mentors didn’t assume that I would go less far because I might give birth to a child one day.These influences were the gender equality ambassadors that made me who I am today.They may not know it but they are the inadvertent feminists who are changing in the world today.We need more of those.And if you still hate the word, it is not the word that is important.It is the idea and the ambition behind it because not all women have received the same rights that I have.In fact, statistically, very few have been.但我是一个幸运的人,我的生命纯粹是一种特权,因为我的父母没有因为我是女孩儿而不爱我,我的学校没有因为我是一个女孩儿而限制我,我的导师没有因为我有一天可能会生孩子而认为我没有多大发展。他们是性别平等的大使,让我成为了今天的我。他们也许不知道,但他们无意间成为了改变着现今世界的女权主义者。我们需要更多的人参与其中,如果你还恨这个词,你要意识到这个词本身并不重要。它背后的思想更为重要。因为不是所有的女性都能享受到和我同样的权利。事实上,据统计,很少女性享有这样的权利。In 1997, Hillary Clinton made a famous speech in Beijing about women’s rights.Sadly, many of the things that she wanted to change are still true today.But what stood out for me the most was that less than 30% of the audience were male.How can we effect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcomed to participate in the conversation? Men, I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation.1997年,希拉里·克林顿在北京做了一场关于妇女权利的著名演讲。不幸的是,她想改变的许多事情在今天仍然存在着。站在我面前的听众中,男性还不到30%。如果只有那么少的男性愿意参与到我们的交流中,我们还谈何去改变世界?男性朋友们,我想借此机会向你们发出正式邀请。
Gender equality is your issue, too.Because to date, I’ve seen my father’s role as a parent being valued less by society.Despite my need of his presence as a child, as much as my mother’s.I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help for fear it would make them less of a man, or less of a man.In fact, in the UK, suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20 to 49, eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease.I’ve seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted sense of what constitutes male success.Men don’t have the benefits of equality, either.性别平等也是你们应该关心的议题。因为到目前为止,尽管对孩子来说,父亲的存在非常重要,但社会上对父亲角色的重要性认识程度仍远低于母亲的角色。我看到年轻的男性承受着重大的精神压力,但不能向他人寻求帮助,因为害怕被说成是不像个男人。事实上,在英国,自杀是20岁-49岁男性最大的死因,超过了道路交通事故、癌症和冠状动脉心脏病。我见过有些男性因为扭曲的成功观而脆弱,产生不安全感。男性们也没有享受到平等的权利.We don’t often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but I can see that they are.And when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence.If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive.If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive.Both men and women should feel free to be strong.It is time that we all preceive gender on a spectrum, instead of two sets of opposing ideals.If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by who we are.We can all be freer and this is what HeForShe is about.It’s about freedom.I want men to take up this mantle so that their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice but also so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too, reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned and in doing so, be a more true and complete version of themselves.我不想说男性们被性别刻板印象所禁锢,但是我可以看到事实上确实如此。当他们自由的时候,自然而然,女性也会得到改变。如果男性不必非要有野心,女性自然也不必非得被迫顺从。如果男性不必去控制,女性也不必被控制。这时我们就能看到两性和谐相处而不是互相对立了。我们应该停止为彼此定义。我们是谁?我们可以更自由,这就是HeForShe运动的意义所在。这是关于自由的运动。我希望男性们可以参与其中,这样他们的女儿、母亲、姐妹可以摆脱偏见,他们的儿子可以被允许脆弱、平凡,成为更真实、更完整的自己。
You might be thinking: who is this Harry Potter girl? What is she doing at the UN? That’s a really good question.I’ve been asking myself the same thing.All I know is that I care about this problem and I want to make it better.And having seen what I’ve seen and given the chance, I feel it is my responsibility to say something.Statesman Edmund Burke said all that is need for the forces of evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing.你可能会想:这个演《哈利·波特》的女孩儿是谁?她在联合国是做什么的?这是一个很好的问题,我也一直在问自己同样的问题。我所知道的就是我关心这个问题,我想把它解答得更好。就我所发现的,如果我有机会,我认为我有责任要说些什么。政治家埃德蒙·伯克曾说,好人袖手旁观,邪恶就胜利。
In my nervousness for this speech and in my moments of doubt, I’ve told myself firmly: if not me, who? If not now, when? If you have similar doubts when opportunities are presented to you, I hope that those words will be helpful.Because the reality is that if we do nothing, it will take 75 years or for me to be nearly 100 before women can expect to be paid the same as men for the same work.15.5 million girls will be married in the next 16 years as children.And at current rates, it won’t be until 2086 before all rural African girls can have a secondary education.在为这个演讲紧张而自我怀疑时,我告诉自己必须要坚持:如果我不说,那么谁来说?如果此时不说?那么何时说?如果你也有类似的疑虑,我希望这些话能够帮助到你。因为现实确实如此,如果我们什么都不做,可能再过75年,甚至接近100年,女性们都还不能和男性们同工同酬。按照目前的数字计算,在未来16年内,将有1550万女性会结婚。而直到2086年前,所有的非洲农村女孩都不能享受中等教育。
If you believe in equality, you might be one of those inadvertent feminists that I spoke of earlier and for this I applaud you.We must struggling for a uniting word but the good news is that we have a uniting movement.It is called HeForShe.如果你坚信性别平等,那么你已经在不经意间成为了女权主义者,我为你喝彩!我们正在为团结一致而努力,好消息就是,我们现在有了一个团结一致的活动,那就是HeForShe运动。
I am inviting you to step forward, to be seen and ask yourself: if not me, who? If not now, when? Thank you.我邀请你们站出来,问问自己:如果我不做,那么谁来做?如果此时不做?那么等到何时?非常,非常感谢。
第三篇:彭 丽 媛 联合国演讲全文(中英对照)(本站推荐)
彭丽媛联合国演讲全文2015年9月28日
Director-General Bokova, ladies and gentlemen, It gives me great pleasure to join you for this important initiative as the UN marks its seventieth nniversary.Education is very important in my heart.My father grew up in a small village in China.In those days, not many villagers could read.So my father opened a night school to teach them how to read.With his help, many people learned to write their own names.With his help, many people learned to read newspapers for the first time.With his help, many women were able to teach their children how to read.As his daughter, I know what education means to the people, especially those without it.After generations of hard work, China has come a long way in education.I myself am a beneficiary of that progress, otherwise I would never become a soprano and professor of music.I’m following my father’s footsteps by teaching at China Conservatory of Music to help continue China’s success on it.I want to thank Director-General Bokova and UNESCO for naming me the special envoy for girls and women’s education.I’m truly honoured to work with the UN and do something for global education.I have visited many schools around the world.I’ve seen first-hand how much more we can do on education.Education is about women and girls.It is important for girls to go to school because they will become their children’s first teachers someday.But women still account for over half towards all in(poor)population and sixty percent of adults who cannot read.Education is critical in addressing such inequalities.In China, the Spring Bud Education Program has helped over three million girls go back to school.Many of them have finished university education and are doing well at their work.Education is about equality.In poor countries and regions, the number of school drop-outs is astonishing.We call for more educational resources to these places.Education is about young people.Young people are the future.Education is important because it not only gives young people knowledge and skills, but also helps them become responsible citizens.As UNESCO special envoy and a mother myself, my commitment to education for all will never change.Many years ago, my father made a small difference in his village.Together, we can make a big difference in the world.I was once asked about my Chinese dream.I said I hope all children, especially girls can have access to good education.This is my Chinese dream.I believe, one day, education first will no longer be a dream, but be a reality enjoyed by every young woman on this planet.尊敬的博科娃总干事,女士们先生们:
我非常高兴在联合国成立七十周年之际出席教育第一倡议高级别会议。在我的心中,教育无疑是重要的。我的父亲生长在中国的一个小山村。那个时候,许多村民不识字。当时,我的父亲是村夜校校长,从事扫盲工作。在他的帮助下,许多人第一次写出自己的名字,第一次看懂了报纸书刊。在他的帮助下,许多妇女得以将自己学会的字交给她们的孩子们。在父亲的教导下,我认识到,教育对于每个人,尤其是得不到教育的人来说,是多么重要。经过几代人的努力,中国教育事业取得了显著成就。我自己也是这一进步的受益者,否则我永远无法成为一个女高音歌唱家和一位音乐教授。我正追随父亲的脚步,投身教育工作,在中国音乐学院任教,为中国教育事业发展尽绵薄之力。
我想感谢博科娃总干事和联合国教科文组织赋予我促进女童和妇女教育特使称号。我非常荣幸能够与联合国共同为全球教育贡献一己之力。我走访了世界许多学校,也直接认识到,在教育方面,我们仍然任重道远。教育要关注妇女和女童。女童有学可上是非常重要的,因为她们长大后会成为自己孩子的第一位老师。然而,全球贫困者中,女性过半;女性也占全球文盲的百分之六十以上。教育是改变女性不公平待遇的关键途径。中国的春蕾计划帮助了三百多万女童重返校园。她们其中很多已经从高校毕业,并在各行各业中发挥出色。
教育要倡导平等。在全球贫困国家和地区,辍学率仍然高居不下。我们呼吁加大对这些地区的教育投入。
教育要面向青年。青年是我们的未来。教育之所以重要,不仅因为它教会青年知识与技能,更是因为它帮助青年成长为具有社会责任感的公民。
作为联合国教科文组织特使和一位母亲,我恪守教育公平的心永不改变。多年前,我的父亲小小地改变了他的村庄。只要携手努力,我们能大大地改变世界。我曾经被问到自己的中国梦。我说,我希望所有孩子,尤其是女孩都能得到良好教育。这就是我的中国梦。我相信,有一天,教育第一不再是一个梦,而是全天下年轻女性共享的现实。

各位大家好。good evening
今天我演讲的主要内容是关于音乐。
The main content of my speech today is about music.就像我们知道的一样,作为人类生活的重要组成部分。。。
well,as we all know, music is an important piece of human life.音乐却老是在与其他大哥的比较下相形见绌。
Music is always in comparison with other eldest brothers to shame.这很正常。
it's normal.很好。
it's good.至少代表人们关注着实际生活而非一些奇特的事。
At least the phenomenon tells the truth that we are keeping a watchful eye on practical things but not someting fancy.音乐在什么时候却可以稍微赢一下这些兄弟呢?
but when is the chance for music to win his brothers a little bit?
哦,求爱的时候。
well, maybe ask for love?
就像现在主流音乐市场充斥的,我们称为的求爱音乐一样。Like the music market filled with the so-called love songs 在求爱方面,军事政治经济可没任何办法。
all in a word,when praying for love, the military and political economy can't do anything.可是,这也是为什么猫王,披头士,老爵爷以至于杰克逊,麦当娜之后,音乐输给这几个兄弟的原因。甚至电影小兄弟也能把音乐当奴隶使唤。
But, this is also the reason why after elvis Presley, the beatles, Quincy Jones or even Jackson, Madonna,music always loss to their brothers.or even such a little child called movie can make music as his slave.原来我们还可以看着巨星们传奇般的唱片记录而举世疯狂。
we were cheering when a new album record of superstars occurred.而现在,WELL.你懂我们现在如何对待音乐的。
时间不多,我就举个音乐怎么渗透入人生的例子。
Don't have much time, i will set an example for how music overcomes your life.卡扎菲政权最近不稳定。
Mr Qaddafi's regime recently is not stable.我回顾了卡扎菲这头雄狮的一生。
I looked back on this lion's life.发现,政客汲汲营营的一生,都没透过一些奇特的事来彻底了解自我。
i find that, politicoes would like to even work hard for power rather than keep it real through some fancy things.而与此同时,地球的另一端,一些人已经透过音乐完成了人生的华丽转身。
And at the same time, the other side of the planet, some people have been through music completed the magnificent life turn on the stage.我们称之为巨星。
We call them superstars.Sing~
第五篇:中英对照演讲稿
正确的选择
“对于三十岁以后的人来说,十年八年不过是指缝间的事。而对于年轻人而言,三年五年就可以是一生一世„„” 这句话出自张爱玲的经典小说《半生缘》,书里开头是沈世均的内心独白“他和曼桢认识,已经是多年前的事了。算起来倒已经有十四年了——真吓人一跳!马上使他连带地觉得自己老了许多。日子过得真快,尤其对于中年以后的人,十年八年都好像是指顾间的事。可是对于年轻人,三年五载就可以是一生一世。他和曼桢从认识到分手,不过几年的工夫,这几年里面却经过这么许多事情,仿佛把生老病死一切的哀乐都经历到了。”今天在这里援引这句话却不是想探讨关于爱情的话题,而是想说说关于年轻时的选择。
选择是人一生永恒的课题,我们无时无刻不在经历着各种的选择,小到衣食住行鸡毛蒜皮,大至事业婚姻未来规划,尤其是对于二三十岁的年轻人来说,每一个大的选择都是对于后半生的奠基,甚至某种程度上来说,是一场以未来做注的一场赌局,想来不啻于世间第一的豪赌了。一旦做下了选择,便如美国诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特(ROBERT FROST)在他的诗《未选择的路》(The Road Not Taken)中写到的:
啊,留下一条路等改日再见!.但我知道路径延绵无尽头,恐怕我难以再回返。
也许多少年后在某个地方,我将轻声叹息将往事回顾: 一片树林里分出两条路-而我选择了人迹更少的一条,从此决定了我一生的道路。
我想,何为做出正确的选择,便是20岁跟对人,30岁做对事
当我们20岁,我们刚进入社会,犹如一张白纸,想要画出漂亮的图案,奈何空有一番热情却不知道如何下手。这个时候,我们寻寻觅觅,希望能抓住一根稻草,沿着这根草我们能够认准人生的方向,可以看到未来的辉煌。于是,跟对人,成为这个年龄所做的必修课。
社会确实有点复杂,年轻单纯的我们往往被舆情热浪掀起,找不到方向。似乎经济社会的人都成了经济人,他们用自己闯荡了多年的社会阅历,练就了一身武大郎似的画饼的能力。可是,很多人却没有学到武大郎的忠厚老实,结果年轻人跟着他充满希望大踏步前进,结果武大郎的饼子越摊越大,终究还是一张梦中的饼。等年轻人幡然醒悟时,武大郎却挑着货担走远了。
一转眼便迈进30了。30岁人要做对事。30岁的人,在社会上已经闯荡了多年,有一定的社会阅历,开始渐渐认准人生的方向。这时候,作为一个有理想的人,他就必须选择好自己的事业,认定自己的目标并为之奋斗。这时,他的选择很重要,也就是我们所说的做对事。如果选择错误,方面出现偏差,那么,他越用功,他离成功也就越远了。在选择正确的情况下,坚持10年,等到我们不惑之年的时候,也许就能看到人生的枝头挂满累累硕果。对于三十而立的中国传统标准来说,也许这是一份迟来的午餐,但它却是给当年的30岁的人一个曾经披荆斩棘、栉风沐雨的补偿。
20岁起步,30岁定位,每个人拥有的人生,是否能在这里找到答案。年轻人这个时候都是敢拼敢闯的时候.就像灿烂的烟花这个时候在拼命的燃烧那样吧.几乎是把一生的热情都聚集在这个阶段了.。回到开头引用张爱玲的那句话,众所皆知,她有一句著名的话“出名要趁早”,在她的观念里人就应该趁着自己大好年华做出一番成就,抓住年少时的分分秒秒,短短几年便可造就一生;而当人近中年以后很多事已是尘埃落定,没有了年少时的激情,一岁岁只是某种程度上的重复,十年八载没有什么差别。因此便更要抓紧珍贵的华年,审慎的选择,努力的奋斗。
How to Choose Rightly
“To those older than thirty, eight years or ten shall be nothing more than that has slipped through the fingers;to the young, three years or five can be equaled to a whole lifetime.” The sentence was said by Zhang Ailing in her classic novel Half Life Fate.Beginning in the book is Shen Shijun’s inner monologue, “It was already 14 years since he knew Manzhen.So scary!This made him feel old.Time flies, especially for people beyond middle age, eight years or ten years seem nothing, but to those who are young, three years or five years can be equaled to a whole lifetime.It was only a few years from their acquaintance to their break up.Over the years too many things have happened, as if I had experienced all physical sorrows.” I quoted the words here today don’t want to discuss about the topic of love, but to talk about choice when we were young.Choice is one of life's eternal topic.From trivial things such as food and clothing to marriage and the future career planning.We are experiencing all kinds of choice all the time.Especially for young people who are in their 20s and 30s, every big choice is the foundation for future life, even to some extent, a bet for future.Maybe this is the biggest gamble in the world.As was written in American poet Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken,Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back Somewhere ages and ages hence: I shall be telling this with a sigh Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference
I deem right choice as following the right person at the age of 20 and doing right things at the age of 30.We are the new entrants in our 20s, just like a piece of blank paper.We want to paint the beautiful design, but we don’t know how to start only with enthusiasm.During this period, we search and hope for clutching at a straw.With the straw, we can sure about our directions of life and see the glorious future.The society is indeed complex, we are so young and so innocent, sometimes we may lost the direction of life.It seems that people in economy society all become economists, they all have the capacity to make pancake, just as Wu Dalang.But they don’t have the characters of Wu Dalang----upright and honest.Finally, their dreams are drawing water with a sieve.Then suddenly 30 years old, the period of following the right person.People at the age of 30 have a lot of experience in society, they have their own direction in their mind.At this time, people who has ideals should choose the career and work hard for the career.Choosing the right career is doing the right thing.If the choose is wrong, he may be far from success.If we choose the right career and insist for 10 years, we can see the best result in our 40s, which maybe too late according to Chinese tradition that a man should be independent at the age of 30.But it is the compensation for 10 years’ hard work of a person.Starting from 20, locating 30.We all have our own life whether we can find our answer here or not.We youngest should be aggressive and dare to do everything.Like the framework, trying hard to burn in the glorious time.As we all know, Zhang Ailing has a very famous sentence, to be known as early as possible.Her conception is that young people should do a great when they are young.Seize every minute at early years, just a few years can make a life.When middle-aged, people can hardly have the enthusiasm when they are at an early age.Eight years or ten years seem nothing.Therefore, we should seize the good time, choose career prudently and work hard.
