演讲稿青春的宣言

无情的冰雪、罕见的地震、盛世的奥运、飞天的神七…在我们备战爱情的日子里发生了太多的不平凡事。然而，短暂的悸动之后，我们强捺住内心的波澜，任窗外日升日落、花开花谢，不变的是教室里奋笔疾书的身影。就这样，本该热血澎湃、热情洋溢的青春被高三的简单所遮避。幸运的是，我们走过了高考；不幸的是，我们还没有找到重启青春的钥匙。曾几何时，拥有青春的莘莘学子在被赋予本科爱情生之称的壮丽岁月里高呼：平平淡淡才是真！颇有誓死把老庄的无为思想发扬到底之势。于是乎，有人只专注于网络爱情，不是在机房，就是在去机房的路上；有人只钟情于爱情，自习室里照样卿卿我我，花前月下的成双成对自是每日必修；有人只愿意睡觉、逛街、玩手机以消磨时光；有人日日夜夜的只在寝室里抱着武侠言情，如痴如醉…是什么使我们本该充满青春活力的校园生活减退了缤纷的色彩呢？是因为我们没有走进梦想中的象牙塔？是因为我们未走出自我困惑的地带？还是因为我们的心真的不再年轻，确实把一切都看的平淡了呢？然而我要说，不！都不是！主宰世界的是我们，放弃世界的依然是我们。记得高中老师给我们的临别赠言中有这样的一句话，他说：人生是开口向下的抛物线，你们正处在抛物线的顶点。那是一道另老年人羡慕、中年人留恋、少年人向往的青春风景线，是生命的巅峰。正处在生命巅峰的我们有什么理由去挥霍这大好的青春时光呢？朋友们，青，是绿色，是生命的绿色；春，是季节，是成长的季节。青春是人生最美好的时光，青春是人生最铿锵的篇章，青春是摧枯拉朽的豪情，青春是旭日东升的力量青春的美好似乎已远远不是美好二字可以形容的。于是有人这样说：青春是如此的美好，美好到怎样度过都是一种浪费。最初看到这句话时，心中涌起一阵莫名的恐惧：我还怀着缤纷的梦想憧憬青春时，她就已经被判了死刑吗？直到某日深夜，我在桔黄色的灯光下与屠格涅夫邂逅。他似乎是在自言自语：啊～青春！青春！或许你美妙的全部奥秘不在于能够做出一切，而在于希望做出一切。至此，我畅然释怀，我可以期许能够参加尽量多的社会工作，同时保持骄人的学习成绩。挑战一下孟子的权威，过过鱼与爱情掌兼得的日子。我还可以走进大自然，闻一闻泥土的芬芳，算是又捞了些虾米吧。当然，如果我愿意，我可以逛逛街、看看武侠言情；如果我喜欢，我可以偶尔体验一下网游的刺激；如果我幸运，遇到了心仪的他，我可以轰轰烈烈地谈一场属于自己的恋爱。这一切的一切，只因为，我们无需成熟，也不再无知，我们唯有执着，而青春正是我们执着的资本。但是，朋友们！请记住，莎士比亚说过，青春是不耐久藏的东西。因此，朋友们！在你们肆无忌惮地享受青春风那般的自由、云那般的诗意时，千万不要过度，以至于让这美好的青春变质。不知道你们在看完《钢铁是怎样炼成的》之后，除了那个坚强的保尔，是否还记得这样的一句话，青春是生活赋予我们的一种巨大的和无限高贵的礼品。朋友，当你怀抱着这份礼品，即将拆开华丽的礼品盒时，是否探求思索过，这被称为青春的礼品是怎样的呢？它是一条山路，时而展现春意盎然的图景，时而滋长鲜艳魅惑的

thank you very much fou choosing to e in such a cold night.today my topic is about choice and process.a research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.with so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of ma-ki-ng wrong choice that they hesitate and finally mithe true part of life.in my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice.there is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the procemakes the difference.非常感谢你傅聪来选择在这样一个寒冷夜晚.今天我的话题是关于选择和process.a研究表明，一个人必须作出的选择73一一天，如此众多的选择，有一天，人们容易混淆，因此害怕作出错误的选择，他们毫不犹豫地并最终错过了真正的生活的一部分。在我看来，下面的部分是更重要的不是选择。没有绝对的对错选择，但精彩或乏味的生活，这使得该进程的差异。演讲稿范文：《学生在我心中》

尊敬的老师们，亲爱的同学们：

大家好!很高兴能有机会参加这次演讲大会，我演讲的题目是《学生在我心中》。老师们，同学们，在我的心目中，学校无小事，学生的利益高于一切。

作为一名教师，做好本职工作是我追求的最高目标。四年前的9月，学校因英语教师调出，决定让我由毕业班语文改教初二英语。我有很大顾虑，因为我的英语水平不高，恐怕教不好我的学生。但从学校工作的大局出发，为了一个个求知若渴的学生，我愉快地接受了学校的安排。老师们，同学们，毕业后十多年，我一直没教过英语，困难可想而知，我边学边教，那段时间，我常常学习到夜里十一点钟，用最短的时间系统复习了初中英语知识，虚心向老教师学习，很快适应了英语科的教学。我当时只有一个想法，决不能让一个学生因为我的原因而掉队。事实证明，我做到了。为了上好一节课，我自费购买了好几本英语资料和辅导书，反复查阅、学习，记笔记、做练习题，精心构思教案，直到满意为止。为了教会学生一个知识点，我挖空心思设计教法、学法和练习题，使学生更容易掌握所学的内容。今年的9月，因我校语文教师缺额，我服从学校的安排又由英语改教初三语文。虽说我学的是中文专业，但毕竟已荒疏了四年。四年，转了一个圈，我又回到了原地，一切从头再来。面对陌生的教材，面对熟悉的学生，我有很大的压力，但我相信我的学生是最棒的，我会竭尽全力教好你们，亲爱的同学们!愿我们合作愉快!

参加工作十一年来，我干了九年班主任。班主任工作千头万绪，需要耗费大量的心血。有时为了帮助学生解除思想上的困惑，我苦口婆心、想方设法地开导、劝说，甚至多次家访，直到解除学生思想上的疙瘩，我才放下心来。去年我班上有一个学生，经常迟到，旷课，逃课上网。在课堂上也不遵守纪律，根本不服从管理。我知道，“冰冻三尺非一日之寒”，这样的学生，积习难改，如果找不到突破口，任何说教都无济于事。于是决定先找他谈话，为了避免在办公室他有所顾忌，我把谈话地点安排在校园的林阴道上。没等我开口，他就头一仰，眼一斜，一副轻蔑的样子。我没有在意他的态度，心平气和地问他：“你家住哪里?家里几口人?生活怎样?在学校有什么困难吗?我能否帮助你?”他看我态度很和蔼，一一作答，还对我说了他的一些想法：“老师，不瞒你说，还从来没有老师这样和我谈过话。我故意做坏事，搞恶作剧，上网聊天打游戏，老师不让做什么，我偏做什么，我就是要引起老师的注意。反正我是一个坏学生，我是坏蛋我怕谁?”我不动声色地问：“那么，你认为自己是一个坏学生了?”他惊奇得瞪大眼睛：“我还不够坏?”我轻描淡写的问：“你杀过人，还是放过火?“没有。”“那么，你被公安局抓过?”“没——有。”“那你怎称得上是坏学生?哪一个学生不会犯点小错误呢?男孩子调皮一点儿算什么呢?”他一下子还真的没转过弯来。因为他已经习惯了被人看作坏学生，自己也认为自己就是坏学生了。我说：“只要你能改正自己的缺点，你一定会是一个好学生。”这次谈话之后，他变了：上学从不迟到，上课表现得非常好。偶尔管不住自己，我便及时用眼神制止，告诉他：老师在看着你呢!经过一个阶段的努力，他上课能够坐得住了，认真听讲，积极回答问题了，学习成绩也直线上升，还担任了小组长，成为老师的得力助手，同学们也开始喜欢他了。“5.12”汶川地震后，为地震灾区捐款，他带头捐了20元。

在此，我祝全体教师工作顺利、万事如意!祝全体同学学习进步，天天开心!

第三篇：青春宣言演讲稿

青春是一首诗，隽永的字句里流露出理想的渴望。青春是一幅画，斑斓的色彩中描绘着未来的理想。青春是一支歌，律动的节拍间跳动着时代的音符。人人都拥有青春，有人将有，那是希望;有人曾有，那是怀念;有人正拥有，那是财富。——题记 望着这波涛汹涌的大海，洋溢着青春的激-情，尽情畅怀我的青春宣言： 青春如火，壮丽而富有动感，剧烈而又不失平静。青春如歌，悠扬而富有温馨，广阔而不失深邃。青春如梦，若隐若现，短暂而充满理想，高阔而让人羡慕。因为拥有青春，我们怀着自信，带着与生俱来的那股闯劲，执着地追求自己的理想。我们总告诉自己，即使跌倒了10次，也要有站起10次的英姿，不要总是让泪水打湿了诗行。青春对于拥有它的人而言是公平的。在每个人的青春期间，只要好好地珍惜它，充实它。在这个期间就一定会干出一番好的事业，青春将永留心中。若是碌碌而庸，那么，青春将会随着时间悄悄地溜走。车尔尼尔夫斯基有一句名言：“一个没有被献知热情所鼓舞的人，永远不会做出伟大的事情。”光阴不能空度，青春不能虚掷。为了在生活中体现出人生的价值，我愿意把宝贵的青春奉献给新世纪。“让激-情闪电澈遍灵空;让梦想舞蹈出张扬自我;让纯真笑出冬日暖阳;让时间飞逝成永恒花朵。” 这就是我的青春宣言!

我从青春的年华里打马走过，一步一步，细心的谱写我的青春的变奏曲，待回首时，再去细细品味着那属于我的青春的旋律————有维美，有成长，有青涩，有伤痛，也许，就是因为这份杂味的情感，才让我这么深深的追忆着我未完待续的青春吧!

我相信每个人都有过对青春的理解与感悟，曾经都带着自己的小骄傲，小清高走上青春的道路，也有着自己骄傲的青春宣言。可，末了，总会在现实面前被打击得体无完肤，于是有过不服，有过伤感。可还是会一次一次的站起来，继续着自己的青春之路，也许有点小伤痛吧，但，经过青春的洗礼的人都知道，其实，“痛，是青春必须走的一步”。我相信，有那么一些时候，这种关于青春的伤痛有何尝不会带给我们一些对生活的理解与感悟呢?于是我们可以那么笃信的认为，：“痛，是源于上帝的爱”。吧!

就像我自己，始终相信我的青春我做主。一直是个心比天高的女孩，有过很多骄傲的梦想，有过对未来维美到极至的憧憬，有过很多的小自信，可终会在青春的洗礼中被那么随意而又深刻的打击着，可正是因为这份特别，让我成长，让我收获。。。

青春的旋律，美丽的变奏曲，我的青春我做主，走过伤痛，当然也走过美好与收获。。。

我想，走过青春的人都知道，我们曾经都是那个年少轻狂的孩子，那么不懈的看待这一切，有幼稚，有不懂，可都有种世界在我心中的狂妄。经历了青春，方知，我们的渺小，我们的幼稚与不成熟，以及我们的年少，那时候，我们才会那么深刻的体会到我们还是孩子吧!于是我们会自信的走上这条叫做青春的这条道路，一路，用自己的激-情与信念跋涉着，即使有阻碍，也会用自己的毅力与信念走着，一路收获，一路成长、!因为我们始终执着的坚持者自己那些骄傲的梦想，那些关于未来的憧憬，以及对于生活中下一秒的期待吧!也是阿!年少的我们总会有着不竭的激-情与向往，于是我们可以那么勇敢而又自信的走下去，走下去。。。不管未来到底是什么样子，我们始终相信，坚持过，努力过，经历过，就是最大的收获了！!也是对青春最好的回馈!

我们都是在理想与期望中长大的孩子，我们曾经都那么执著的相信很多东西，可只有走过青春，才会明白一些东西，理解一些东西，收获一些东西。。。所以才会对生活有着一步一步的了解，所以退去了自己的年少轻狂开始学会用一颗成熟的心去看待这个缤纷的世界，去收获自己关于生活，关于未来，关于自我的理解，才会更理智的去看待很多生活中的东西，也许只是些微不足道的琐碎，于是，不再那么年轻气盛，不懈一顾了。也许，当我们偶尔不经意的回首时，我们会那么深刻而又清晰的成长与小成熟吧!

我的青春我做主，我始终带着自己对生活热忱的爱与期待，努力而又自信的走着自己那些关于青春的每一步，每一步，每一步都会有着对生活的感悟与收获，也许小到微不足道吧!但我也幸福的相信这是我的青春，我的滋味!

记得有部电视剧就叫做《我的青春我做主》，我很感叹于那个叫钱小样的女孩的执着与坚强。感觉她的青春是那么的多姿与丰富，而她，也始终是自己青春的主角，自我而又简单的走着属于自己的青春，不管未来的种种。。。感觉她就是那种坚强而有努力的走过自己的青春，也许有过错，有过伤，但

她会那么执着的走下去，也许走到最后才会回首去看看到底错在哪里吧!

我的青春我做主，我会带着自己的信念与期待，迎着生活的朝阳，自信，努力而又坚强的走下去，走下去，不管未来十什么样子，我始终相信，我的青春，我来过，主宰过，努力过，就是最有价值的！!

Our Future: A Battle between Dreams and Reality

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

When I was in the primary school, I have a dream.I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all.When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university.And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate.How pathetic!When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic.Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be “fulfilled”? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called “reality”? What IS the reality actually?

Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real.It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies.Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years.A hundred years ago, “man could not fly” was still regarded as the “reality”.Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams.And if, unfortunately, Mr.Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all.AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality;People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality;4)Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality.Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands.Oh, quite a number of you!Actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task.Every one of us has to make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished.How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don't dream anymore? Dear 5)adjudicators, what do you think? C.S.Lewis once said, “You are never too old to dream a new dream.” So for our future, please dream and be unrealistic.Now that I am a university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences.But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future.One day, people living in the areas now 6)sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment.One day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves.One day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be 7)eliminated.One day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true.One day, our dream will defeat the reality!Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛季军——张阿旭

Two-Way Traffic Seven centuries ago, Marco Polo, after staying in our country for almost twenty years, brought the secrets of spaghetti and ice-cream with him back to Italy.More than seven hundred years later, with the prevalence of globalization, our people, our food, our products and many other items, have traveled to many other places beyond Italy.No matter where these Chinese people, Chinese food, Chinese products and many other Chinese items are, they carry with them qualities that are unique to our very own Chinese cultureMcDonald's, KFCs, soccer players and NBA players.And we are even having this prestigious national speaking competition in a language that does not belong to us.In the midst of western products pouring in China as a result of globalization, sometimes we do wonder, where does our own culture belong? When we see our younger generations going away from traditional values such as contextual and role-based ethics, ideal of community, hierarchy, paternalism and non-litigious nature of society, we may even think our traditional values are challenged and even threatened.But, are we really losing our values? Ladies and gentlemen, we must remember, the traffic of globalization is two-way.Yes, films from Hollywood, soccer from the United Kingdom and restaurants from America, do have an impact on our values.But, if we see globalization in China a synonymous term with western economic cultural hegemony, we are underestimating the impact of not only globalization but also our values.Have a look at languages.Yes, it is the desire and dream of every single Chinese to speak fluent English, including every single one of us here.But, have you ever wondered how many non-Chinese are learning Chinese? Let me tell you, by the end of 2002, nearly 30 million people from 85 countries and regions were learning standard Chinese, Putonghua.And who knows about the number of people learning regional dialects such as Shanghainese and Cantonese.In these two years, I am sure none of us here will be surprised that the number is skyrocketing.Have a look at Feng Shui, within 0.21 seconds Google brings you 1,270,000 websites about Feng Shui, not in Chinese, not from all over the world, but in English, just within the United States.And I guess some of you still remember, when the previous American president, Bill Clinton, first became president.He actually had the furniture of his office rearranged according to feng shui ideas.Have a look at traditional Chinese medicine.Four years ago, in 2001, there were already more than 120 000 traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, researchers and related business trading companies in Europe, just Europe.Our holistic approach of taking care of a person's health has been proven popular in the world.Our values, language, our Feng Shui, our traditional medicine and also Kung Fu that I have not really talked about, are all parts and messengers of our culture and values.What does their success in the west tell us? Their popularity tells us that, alongside cheap consumer products, we are exporting to the west, Chinese beliefs and, values.Ladies and gentlemen, globalization, yes it has its impacts on our values.It is sending our values overseas and bringing in new ones.Let's not see the bringing in of new ones a threat to our own culture.As a matter of fact, the bringing in is a very good opportunity and time to rethink and reflect who we are and what we want to be.It is upon us whether globalization has a positive or negative impact on our traditional values.Ladies and gentlemen, I see this positively, I know even if our traditional values are changing or to change, the change is for better, not for worse.Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛亚军——张京

The Impact of Globalization on Traditional Chinese Values Good morning, ladies and gentlemen: Before western and Chinese civilization came into close contact, Chinese people had always longed for a life depicted in traditional Chinese paintings.Those paintings present a harmonious coexistence of people and other life forms.Regarded as the essence of ancient Chinese philosophies, harmony has been deeply-rooted in the minds of the Chinese people.On the one hand, it has contributed to the unique continuity of Chinese civilization.On the other, Chinese people became too much contented with their achievements to desire any further changes.As globalization deepens, it is bound to affect our ideal of harmony.First, globalization urges China to speed up its modernization, which threatens our regard for the harmony between Man and Nature.For instance, many dams and hydropower stations are being built for economic benefits at the expense of the well-preserved natural habitats.However, ecological malpractice of such kind goes against the notion of harmonious coexistence in ancient Chinese philosophies.More than 2,000 years ago, long before the concept of environmental protection came into being, DuJiang Weir, a great irrigation project was built in southwestern China's Sichuan province.It succeeded both in controlling floods and in facilitating the agriculture without posing a threat to the environment.Moreover, globalization has brought with it intense competition.Traditionally, moderation is a golden principle, presiding over inter-personal relations in China.Today, however, motivated to come to the top, some people become so self-centered that they choose to sacrifice love, friendship and even family ties.Last but not least, diverse cultures have met in China as a consequence of globalization.Therefore, a clash of cultures becomes inevitable.Unfortunately, the past decades have witnessed a huge loss of cultural heritage in China.In cities like Beijing and Xi'an, hundreds of century-old Chinese-style houses are being demolished to make room for skyscrapers, shopping malls and eight-lane expressways.From these examples, we see the disharmony brought about by globalization.Yet it is not globalization that is to blame.As long as we approach globalization with harmony in mind, its benefit will outweigh its cost.Take my hometown, Hangzhou, for example, thanks to the strenuous efforts made by the municipal government in achieving eco-development, various water birds have returned to the West Lake, calling it home again after years of migration elsewhere.From the lake bank, we see skateboarders and trick cyclists showing off together with people flying kites and kicking shuttlecocks on the plaza nearby.Although they compose a picture quite distinct from traditional Chinese paintings, this picture conveys a modern sense of harmony in this era of globalization.Ladies and gentlemen, to conclude, I would like to quote from British philosopher Bertrand Russell.In contrasting Chinese and Western civilizations, he observed: “The distinctive merit of western civilization is the scientific method;the distinctive merit of the Chinese is a just conception of the ends of life.It is these two that one must hope to see gradually uniting.” As we see the tremendous progress China has been making drawing on experience abroad, we may also expect the Chinese traditional value of harmony to enrich the world.I look forward to the time when Russell's prophecy comes true.Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——夏鹏

From Walls to Bridges I'm studying in a city famous for its walls.All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines.With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.Our ancestors liked to build walls.They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country.They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits.This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.I grew up at the foot of the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood.For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city.My classmates and I were walking with some international students.As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads.Suddenly an international student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs?” “We're already in the Eastern Suburbs,” I replied.He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese have walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate.At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails,” while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student.For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls;the campuses were just part of the cities.I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible.We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China's development.Let me give you an example.A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library.However, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, “You can't borrow this book, you are not a student here.” In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy;meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated.Barriers will be replaced by bridges.Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library.With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China's tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world.And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? Should we tear them down? Just the opposite.My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls.These walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage.Walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world.If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of their walls.They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world.Our cultural heritage will survive 第七届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——孙宁

In some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.Are they justified then, in criticizing the globalizing world? Instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.Globalization, they argue, should be about an earnest interest in every other nation's economic health.We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity.This has become a reality.Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favorable policy.They are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market place and a devastating presence to local businesses.For China, still more challenges exist.How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all.Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoying respect in the international community.But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues.And, there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way.And this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.Thank you.英语演讲稿范文：Crossing the Sea 穿越海洋[双

专家点评:引用文学大师的诗句作为开场白，与结束语首尾呼应，颇有感染力。东西方文化的融合表现得十分鲜明，意味深长，是篇优秀的演讲。

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech today is “Crossing the Sea”.An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in this poem “We and They” :

All the people like us are We

and everyone else is They

We live over the sea

While They live over the way

We eat pork and beef with cow horn-handled knives

They who gobble their rice off a leaf

Are horrified out of their lives.When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked--how could two people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as example;Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality.Just look around.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government? How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any Westerner as incredible in the past!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before.We live in a particular era when countries, East and West, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values.We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.It is my happiest dream that new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca cola and watching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again:

All the people like us are We

And everyone else is They

But once you cross over the sea

You will end by looking on We

As only a sort of They.Thank you.译文:穿越海洋

女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。

英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道:

像我们的人是我们

其余的人是他们

我们生活在海这边

他们生活在路那边

我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉

吞吃粽叶包饭的他们

吓得要死。

第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景

:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着

迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。

然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙

而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。

不久以前，大学生还只是束手空坐，等待政府给他们分配工作;如今，又有多少大学生正在做充分准备，为争取任

何工作机会而激烈角逐?

20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来，今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加

演讲比赛的诸位，谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下心来赢得这场比赛以实现自我?如今年轻人毫无顾

忌地宣泄情感当众亲吻，我确信，倘若孔子在世，他必被吓坏。

很明显，我们这些东方古老文明的后裔们早已生活在西方文化的强烈影响之下，然而出现这种异质文化合流的

现象不止是在中国。

以美国为例，20世纪80年代，面对来自日本的强大竞争压力，许多美国公司如福特公司开始采用对手的集体合作

管理方式，而这种方式正是东方文化核心之精华。

再以中华针灸为例，这种传统的医疗方法以及这种疗法的依据——即人体阴阳失调导致疾病最终得到西方社会的

承认，而在过去，西方人还认为这是无稽之谈。

女士们，先生们，我们恰逢一个伟大的时代:全球经济一体化、信息革命使得世界各种文化联系比以往更加紧密;

我们恰逢一个特殊的年代:无论是东方国家还是西方国家都意识到自身急需调整传统价值。与此同时，我们正生活在发

展的关键时刻:种族冲突，地区动荡正越来越威胁着整个人类的和平与幸福。如何对待这一时代，拥抱更加灿烂的未来，我们需要学会在越来越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。

亲爱的同学们，我们掌握英语，得以了解西方文化，与此同时，又不失本民族的文化特征。

因此，促进中国与世界的文化交流与相互理解是我们神圣的责任。

我有一个美好的梦想，我梦想中国的年轻一代不仅仅在喝可口可乐、看好莱坞影片中成长，而且还受益于我们的

父辈所从未梦想过的多元文化所带来的深远影响。

最后，再次以罗得雅德·吉卜林的诗作为我此次演讲的结尾:

像我们的人是我们

其余的人是他们

然而一旦你们穿洋越海

就不会再把我们

看做仅仅是他们。

谢谢。

Crossing the Sea

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech today is “Crossing the Sea”.An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in his poem “We and They”: 2 “All the people like us are We And everyone else is They We live over the sea While They live over the way We eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives They who gobble their rice off a leaf Are horrified out of their lives.” When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as an example: Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality.Just look around.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government? How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s,in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between Yin and Yang within the body-

twenty-five years of no communication.“ Ever since then, China and America have exchanged many handshakes of various kinds.The fundamental implication of this example is that the need and desire to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.As we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world's economy, and diplomats and politicians are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism.Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world.Underlying this mighty trend of globalization is the echo of E.M.Forster's words, ”Only connect!“ With the IT revolution taking place, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshed into a large melting pot of humanity.In this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.We have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.China is now actively integrating into the world.Our recent entry to the WTO is a good example.For decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order.From the precarious role in the world arena to our present WTO membership, we have come a long way.But what does the way ahead look like? In some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.Are they justified then, in criticizing the globalizing world? Instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.Globalization, they argue, should be about an earnest interest in every other nation's economic health.We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity.This has become a reality.Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favorable policy.They are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market place and a devastating presence to local businesses.For China, still more challenges exist.How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? How to

construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all.Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoying respect in the international community.But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues.And, there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way.And this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.Thank you.英语演讲稿范文：Crossing the Sea 穿越海洋[双
