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”: “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--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 renders it 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 the 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。
第三届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛亚军——芮成钢 East and West have met 东西方相聚
runner-up: Rui Cheng gang, Foreign Affair College Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:
Kipling said:“ East is east, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!” But now, a century later, they have met.They have met in business.They have met in education.They have met in the arts.Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West ,but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds.We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use.We can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity? History makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.Some people seem to think that adopting Western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in China, instead of the traditional Chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.They fear that as we become “globalized”, we will no longer be Chinese.I do not agree.History teachers that a strong and confident nation is at ease in hearing from the outside world.The wedding of Eastern and Western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.It is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.As an amateur gourmet of Chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.But my Chinese taste appreciates food from any land.I even allow the convenience of McDonald's a place in my life without giving up my good taste.My grandfather taught me to hum tunes of Beijing opera from the time I was very young;they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.I love Beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who I am.But I am also a fan of modern pop music, the No.1 fan of Spice Girls on campus.of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance.It goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.Once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a Chinese boy and an American girl had a squabble.Both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.Surely you've seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.Nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural.No wonder they wanted him.The Chinese boy played his er-hu.Happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air.The little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music.He liked what he heard.The girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.The rabbit began to bounce in her direction.So intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.The competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn.Unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit...alone.But, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other's music, instead of always playing their own tunes?
When I hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced...I hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.Is music mine and yours, or is it ours?
What I want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and
in
tune.Together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with textures and sounds that can only be made in harmony.The rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun.Waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.Will he have to wait forever? The choice is ours.Thank you.尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们:吉卜林说过,“东方是东方,西方是西方,两者永不聚!”然而如今,在一个世纪之后,东西方相聚了。
它们在贸易中相聚,在教育中相聚,在艺术中相聚。
有人争论说这种东西方之聚,使得我们能够在东西方中作出选择.然而我相信最美好的未来在于东西方世界的创造性的结合,我们可以变西方的观念、习俗、技术为己所有,为己所用;我们可以享受两上不同世界之精华,总之,我们的传统之一就是择其精华,为己所用。
然而,西方的生活方式和价值会威胁到我们的民族特色吗?
历史让我们轻易相信——也许是太轻易地让我们相信此说了。
有人似乎认为彩西方习俗,比如新娘结婚穿白色婚纱,是对外国介入的屈服,是对传统遗产的背叛,因为按中国传统,结婚新娘要穿红色,而白色长期以来代表的是哀悼。
这些人担心一量我们变得全球化,我们也就不在是中国人了。
我不这样认为。
历史告诉我们:一个强大自信的民族学起外面的世界易如反掌。
无论是穿白衣还是黑衣,还是东西方异质文化的联姻,都给我们带来多姿多采的生活。
东西方异质文化的联姻是一席来自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。
身为中国菜的业余美食家,我喜欢民族的佳肴。
然而我的中国口味也欣赏异国的风味。
生活中我为简便吃麦当劳,却不会放弃自己的良好口味。
从小祖父就教我哼唱京剧,京剧深入我的精神之中,成为我灵魂的一部分。
我热爱京剧,因为京剧让我总想起自己是谁。
但是我也迷恋现代流行音乐,在学校里还是“辣味女孩”的头号歌迷。
当然,异质文化的交流远不止于食物、音乐和舞蹈,它深入到价值观和世界观。
有一次老师给我讲了一个中国男孩和一个美国女孩发生争执的故事。
在花园里他们俩发现了一只小兔,两人都想要。
你肯定见过草丛中晒太阳的小兔。
没什么东西比小兔子更可爱的,更富有自然情趣了,难怪他们两人都想要它。
男孩拉起了二胡,愉快喜悦的琴声,充满了渴望和激情,回荡在空中,小兔子听着这音乐轻轻摇摆,耳朵转向音乐,它喜爱男孩的琴声。
女孩也取出小提琴,拉出悠扬的旋律。
小兔子听了朝她跑去。两人都全神贯注于自己的音乐,丝毫没注意对方演奏的音乐。
交杂在一块的音乐困惑了小兔子,它不知该朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能将小兔子吸引过来,只好放弃,各自走开了,扔下小兔子独自一人。
然而倘若他们倾听对方的音乐,而不是各自为歌,那么结果会如何呢?
当我听到小提琴声响起,男男女女走道一起又唱又跳,乐声中充满了欢乐,此时我也听见了草原上、山谷间、小河旁传来得我们本民族的音乐的回声。
音乐分你我,还是属于我们大家?
我想听的是二胡与小提琴的合奏,旋律与节奏和谐一致。
大家一起才能创造出新颖动听音乐,只有在和谐中大家才能创造出富有神韵的乐声。
在温暖的阳光中,小兔子在等待着我们一起演奏,等待着交响乐开始。
他有必要再永远的等下去吗?决择在于我们自己。谢谢。
Liu Xin: Thank you, contestant number 10.Now you're going to compare street markets and supermarkets.Rui Cheng gang:
Well, thank you very much.Um as a man who suffered from male chauvinism, I used to think that shopping is a privilege of women.I seldom do shopping until I have to.But three years ago, something happened and it changed my view.I remember it was the first day I went to college.After I had put down my luggage, I went out of the school to have a look around.It was a romantic rainy day.And guess what, I found the street market, right beside the school.And I saw lots of middle-aged men and women talking with the sellers of fruit, clothes and soft drinks and it seems to me that they were intimate friends.And then I said to myself, why not have a try.So I walked to the seller of pineapple and talked to him.And then i bought a pineapple and bargain with him and then i will eat the pineapple while wandering around the street market and enjoy the simple things of life.Thank you.Judge: You mentioned in your first speech the importance of variety even though the east and west are converging.But many people think that one of the problems of modern life is the lack of variety.This hotel looks like every other hotel in the world and the whole world is becoming an airport.Hong Kong looks like Singapore and so on.Do you think that we may be in danger of losing the very variety that you think is so important? Rui Cheng gang:
The variety.Of course I do not think so.I don't think we are losing variety.Instead ,we are, I think we are getting more varieties.Well nowadays, as i had mentioned in my speech, we have a combination of eastern and western music, food and lifestyles.Actually I, I think I read an article in Vienna and many western critic and composers feel that a western music which has traditionally emphasized on the harmony between different instruments now is becoming increasingly, it increasingly reflects eastern music style.However, the eastern music style brought them a completely new sense of music.So I don't think we are losing variety.I think we are having more varieties.And also in our daily life, I think we have more choice.It's not actually a choice between the east and west.Actually I think the choice is a combination of the two.And this doesn't necessarily mean we are losing our variety.We are updating what variety is.Thank you.Judge: In your second speech just now about street markets.You said that you enjoyed going to the street markets.It's a peaceful life and eating pineapples.Could you say something more comparing street markets and supermarkets as regards prices and quality and choice of products, things like that.Rui Cheng gang:
Yes.Of course I prefer street market to super market.And actually I think ,nowadays the prices in the supermarket are becoming lower and lower to meet the demands of the people.But somehow I think people, not only Chinese people, but people from all over the world, will enjoy street markets much better.Because even though going to the supermarket will help you to get rid of a lot of the trouble of bargaining ,but somehow you lose the fun of talking with people and communicating with each other, and i think the super market just reflects one of the problems of modern society.I mean the alienation of people and their fellow man.And so I think that street market is secure to these disease or illnesses in modern society.Thank you.刘欣:谢谢十号选手。现在请你对街市和超级市场做一个比较。芮成钢:
谢谢你。唔,以前由于深受男权主义影响,我向来把购物当作是女性的特权。不到万不得已决不得已决不上街购物。但在三年前发生的一件事改变了我的观点。记得那是我进大学的第一天,放置好行李后我走出学校四处看一看。那是个浪漫的雨天。你猜怎样?就在学校附近我发现了一条街市。
我看到许多中年男女正在与卖水果、服装、饮料的摊主议价,似乎是很熟的朋友。我对自己说,何不一试呢?
于是我走到一个卖菠萝的小贩前同他说起价来,最后买下一个菠萝。忽然间我意识到这十分有意思。回到学校后我想了一想,总结出这所以会钟情于街市的两点原因。首先,它带给了我乐趣。其次,我喜欢讲价。实际上我认为讲价是提高口才的极端有效的办法。没有这几年讲价经验的积累,我想我也不会有现在的机会站在这儿用流利的英语向你们做演讲。三年过去了,我一周还至少上街一次。我会去卖菠萝的小贩那儿和讲价,然后一边吃菠萝一边在街市上慢步,享受生命中一些小乐趣。谢 谢!评委:在你的第一个演讲中你提到,尽管东、西方文化存在共性,多样性仍有其重要性。可是许多人觉得现代生活中存在的问题之一就是缺少多样性。这家饭店看似世界上其他饭店,整个世界成了一个机场。香港看似新加坡,诸如此类。既然人认为多样性很重要,你是否认为我们正濒临丧失这种多样性的危机的边缘?
芮成钢: 说到多样性,我并不认为我们正濒临丧失这种多样性的危机,与此相反,我认为我们正取得越来越多的多样性。
正如我刚才说过的,在现代社会中,我们在音乐、饮食和生活方式方面都有东西方的结合。几年前,我曾在《中国日报》上看到一篇文章,说中国音乐在维也纳受到热烈的欢迎。许多西方评论家和作曲家认为,西方音乐传统上将重点放在各种乐器的配合上,现在刚更多地反映东方音乐的风格。东方音乐的风格给他们带了全新的意识。
因此,我认为我们并没有丧失多样性,而是在取得更多的多样性。在日常生活中,我们也拥有更多的选择。并不是说是选择东方还是选择西方,百是在东西方的结合中进行选择。这不一定就意味着我们正在丧失多样性。我们正在不断地高速这种多样性。谢谢。芮成钢:
好。我当然是喜欢街甚于超级市场。我认为,现在超级市场的物价为了迎合大众的需要在逐渐调低。但我总觉得不仅是中国人,所有的人都会喜欢街市更多一些。因为尽管上超市可以省去讲价的麻烦,你多少也损失了和人聊天和交往的乐趣。超市反映了现代生活的众多问题。在此我指的是人与人之间的疏离。而街市则可避免现代社会的这些毛病。谢谢。

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The issue of the Yellow River has become the biggest concern of members of the Chinese peoples Political Consultative Conference.My childhood, in fact, is closely associated with the river.My father is an engineering geologist, and he used to take me with him on his trips to the hydropower stations on the river.I enjoyed those trips, especially the trip to Longyang Xia reservoir.Although ten years have passed since my visit, I can still recall the scenery;I can still recall the water I saw at the reservoir.It was pure, clean and blue, not like the water I saw in the middle reaches of the river, which had turned brown and muddy after passing through the Loess Plateau.Once during our stay at the power station, we were caught in a thunderstorm.And when rain stopped, I could see trickles of water rolling down mountain slopes and flowing into the reservoir.It carried little mud or sand, because at that time, trees and grass still grew around the reservoir.And they protected the soil.At Longyang Xia I was struck by the beauty of nature, and as a child I wanted to stay there and to grow up with our Yellow River.Li Bai, the Tang Dynasty poet, said praises to the flowing water in the Yellow River.He saw it as coming down from heaven and nurturing the people along her way to the sea.However, in 1997,for 330days, not a single drop of water from the Yellow River went into the sea.And droughts are not the only punishment by nature.A friend of my father's, a university professor, is doing research on the Yellow River.According to this professor, the Yellow River will soon change its course if we allow this situation to continue.Because there is no longer enough water to carry away the silt and mud in the lower reaches of the river and the riverbed rises higher and higher each year.We have taken too much from nature, but given back too little in return.And this is the cost of the unbalanced growth.If we had taken care of the vegetation in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, we would still experience the river as Li Bai described it.While the developed countries are consuming proportionally more natural resources than the rest of the world, they've also taken some good measures in protecting nature.And as a developing country, China can learn from them in this aspect.Last year, when I was visiting Australia with a group of Chinese students who had won prizes in an English Skills Test, our Australian hosts invited us to join them for a horse-ride in the mountains.After two hours on horseback, we reached a valley, where there was a most beautiful meadow, with flowers in all colors dotted on a huge blanket of green.When I began to praise the beauty of nature, my friends told me that in this valley, there used to be a big mine and the wastewater from the mine turned everything brown.When the mine was abandoned, people made great efforts to restore the green vegetation.They also used the latest biological technology choosing the best grass seeds suitable for the local soil.So the beautiful meadow is a result of commitment, hard work, and new technology.What happened to this valley in Australia should also happen to our Yellow River and, in fact, it is happening.I have seen farmers planting trees on mountains along the Yellow River.I have seen them climb the mountain tops with seedlings on their shoulders because they had no machinery.I have seen them pour on trees the water they had carried up in buckets from miles down the valley.These farmers are quietly nourishing our Yellow River, just as the river has nourished them.And these farmers, men and women I don't know, gave me the confidence that we and our Yellow River will grow together, and someday in the future, we will be able to drink the clean water from our Yellow River again, because she is our dearest mother.Thank you.第六届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——戚悦

Bidding for the Olympic Games is, in a way, an image-creating undertaking.The first and foremost thing is to let people fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by its unique image.What image does Beijing intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity to host the 2008 Olympics? It’s known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government has already set the theme for the future games: New Beijing, Great Olympics.For me, the 2008 Olympics will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two more special colors, yellow and red.First, yellow is a meaningful color.The Yellow River is China’s mother river and the cradle of Chinese civilization.We are of the yellow race and descendants of the Yellow Emperor.This color has a special origin and great significance for the Chinese people.Beijing is the capital of New China and previously the capital for nine dynasties in Chinese history.So, yellow will naturally add splendor to the 2008 Games.Secondly, the 2008 Olympics will be a red pageant.Red is another traditionally cherished color for the whole country.We adore red.On big occasions, we like to decorate our homes in red.It is the color of double happiness, representing joyous moments, 1)auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity.Red is one of the most suitable colors to describe the future of Beijing.Beijing, together with the whole country, is becoming more and more prosperous in the process of modernization.Should the 2008 Olympics be held in Beijing, the whole city will be a sea of red: the red torch, red flags, red flowers, and the radiant faces of millions of joyful people.Above all, the 2008 Olympics will be a green Olympics.Adding the green 2)ingredient is essential in creating an appealing image, as we can’t deny the fact that Beijing, at the moment, is not as green a city as what we like it to be.Striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of Beijing.Big efforts have been made in pollution control, replanting and beautification of the city.According to a project entitled “The Green Olympic Action Plan,” between 1998 and 2007, Beijing will have invested 100 billion RMB in preserving and protecting the environment.Some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million acres of grass will be planted along the Fourth Ring Road.By then, the city’s green area will make up 40% of its total.The city will also dredge its 3)reservoirs used as a water supply to Beijing residents, controlling industrial pollution and moving out the 200 factories presently located within the city proper.Certainly, all of this is no easy task.But I am sure that all of us have confidence that we will realize these “green” goals, for now we have the full support and participation of the environmentally conscious citizens.Each citizen is showing great concern for every one of the steps the city government takes.As the saying goes, “United, we stand”, and a green Beijing will be achieved.When our aspiration becomes a reality, it will be a unique Olympics.“New Beijing, Great Olympics” will be weaved of these three superb colors: yellow, red and green.Let us welcome it and look forward to it!Thank you!

Today I'm very happy to be here to share with you some of my thoughts on the topic of Globalization.And first of all, I would like to mention an event in our recent history.Thirty years ago, American President Richard Nixon made an epoch-making visit to China, a country still isolated at that time.Premier Zhou Enlai said to him, “Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the worldnatural scenes aren't natural anymore.Deforestation to heat lodges are devastating Nepal.Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica.Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.All these appalling facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding our resources.Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations are receiving donationsfrom housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.Some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.Why? Because they care.Because they still want their Mother Nature back.Because they know it still belongs to them.This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it , it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.The other night, as I saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Diana Fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.Thank you very much.第九届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——洪晔

The title of my speech today is ”The Doors that Are Open to Us “.The other day my aunt paid me a visit.She was overjoyed.”I got the highest mark in the mid-term examination!“ she said.Don't be surprised!My aunt is indeed a student;to be exact, a college student at the age of 45.Last year, she put aside her private business and signed up for a one-year, full-time management course in a college.”This was the wisest decision I have ever made,“ she said proudly like a teenage girl.To her, college is always a right place to pick up new ideas, and new ideas always make her feel young.”Compared with the late 70s,“ she says, ”now college students have many doors.“ My aunt cannot help but recall her first college experience in 1978 when college doors began to be re-opened after the Cultural Revolution.She was assigned to study engineering despite her desire to study Chinese literature, and a few years later, the government sent her to work in a TV factory.I was shocked when she first told me how she(had)had no choice in her major and job.Look at us today!So many doors are open to us!I believe there have never
been
such
abundant
opportunities
for self-development as we have today.And my aunt told me that we should reach our goals by grasping all these opportunities.The first door I see is the opportunity to study different kinds of subjects that interest us.My aunt said she was happy to study management, but she was also happy that she could attend lectures on ancient Chinese poetry and on Shakespearean drama.As for myself, I am an English major, but I may also go to lectures on history.To me, if college education in the past emphasized specialization, now, it emphasizes free and well-rounded development of each individual.So all the fine achievements of human civilization are open to us.The second door is the door to the outside world.Learning goes beyond classrooms and national boundaries.My aunt remembers her previous college days as monotonous and even calls her generation ”frogs in a well.“ But today, as the world becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors and we be open-minded to learn with and from each other.I have many fellow international classmates, and I am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad.As for my aunt, she is planning to get an MBA degree in the United Kingdom where her daughter, my cousin, is now doing her master's degree in biochemistry.We are now taking the opportunity to study overseas, and when we come back, we'll put to use what we have learnt abroad.The third door is the door to lifelong learning.As new ideas appear all the time, we always need to acquire new knowledge, regardless of our age.Naturally, my aunt herself is the best example.Many of my aunt's contemporaries say that she is amazingly up-to-date for a middle-aged woman.She simply responds, ”Age doesn't matter.What matters is your attitude.You may think it's strange that I am still going to college, but I don't think I'm too old to learn.“ Yes, she is right.Since the government removed the age limit for college admissions in 2001, there are already some untraditional students, sitting with us in the same classrooms.Like these people, my aunt is old but she is very young in spirit.With her incredible energy and determination, she embodies both tradition and modernity.The doors open to us also pose challenges.For instance, we are faced with the challenge of a balanced learning, the challenge of preserving our fine tradition while learning from the West, and the challenge of learning continuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work and family.So, each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents, friends and my aunt, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.When I reach my aunt's age, I can be proud to say that I have walked through dozens of doors and will, in the remainder of my life, walk through many more.Possibly I will go back to college, too.Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——夏鹏

夏鹏 原系贵州省平坝县黎阳厂子校学生,小学五年级开始进入贵阳百年英语学校系统学习英语,2003年,夏鹏以600分的高分考入南京大学法学院,后转入英语系。2004年获得CCTV全国英语演讲比赛第二名,同年获得代表国内最高水平的第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军,同时获得比赛“最具潜力奖”,并代表中国参加2005年国际英语演讲比赛,荣获获得冠军和“最受观众欢迎奖”。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

have i ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling? have i ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighborhood?” if your answers are “yes”, it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.moreover, we should also use public transportation as possible as we can.we should also save water and electricity and other resources for next generation.now i want to say: let’s do our best to make our world more beautiful!开场白:早上好,我亲爱的老师和同学。我的名字叫秦泽邦。我很高兴站在这里,我很荣幸能作一次演讲。我的主题是保护环境和低碳生活。正文: 现在,我想谈一谈一个美丽的世界!我总是梦想着能在一个美丽的国家。有很多花和我们的城市周围的树。我们可以听到鸟儿歌唱,看到孩子们跳舞。街道是明亮的、空气是非常新鲜!这是多好!但这只是我的一个梦!现实是几乎每天都我们可以看到堵车因为越来越多的人正在使用私家车的多污染空气。我们很少享用新鲜的空气,因为我们始终保持在空调房间里。因此,我认为我们应该采取措施保护我们的环境。每个人都应作出贡献,保护环境。照顾我们,这是环境的非常重要的。无论我们住在哪里,我们可以做些在我们的社区。你有过引发任何垃圾在地上吗?你有在公共的墙壁上涂鸦吗?你曾经砍倒树吗?如果您的答案是“no”,这意味着您已经帮助保护我们的环境。它是我们的责任,以保持我们的环境干净整洁。你可能会问自己,“有摘过一些垃圾和扔进垃圾箱吗?我曾经收集废纸或供循环再用的瓶子吗?我曾经栽了任何树木或内或附近我家附近

高级版(见见高手!)我们从来没有影像,我们经历过的,其中在非洲热带雨林的深处,树木,花卉,蝴蝶,大猩猩包围的母亲拥抱自己的婴儿。
yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs.diana fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.是的,在我最喜欢的电影之一难忘的场景,呼吁在薄雾大猩猩的基础上,戴安娜弗西夫人,谁在此度过了一生中最卢旺达保护,直到她生命的最后的生态环境有真实的故事。
to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.对我来说,电影,不仅提供了一个难忘的场景,而且也是一个永恒提醒我们,我们不应该在发展我们的生态成本,环境,旅游业行为。
today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.it has bee a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in gdp growth.it has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.but on the other hand, many problems can occurbig notes, small notes or even coins-from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do.these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.why? because they care.because they still want their mother nature back.because they know it still belongs to them.现在每年有很多地方ecoenvironmental保护组织接受捐赠-大笔记,笔记,甚至小硬币-从家庭主妇,管道工,救护车司机,售货员,教师,儿童和残疾人。其中一些人可没有钱给的钱,但他们这样做。这是谁驾驶的出租车,谁在医院护士,谁从他们所在地区的生态破坏的痛苦。为什么?因为他们的照顾。因为他们仍然希望他们回到大自然。因为他们知道它仍然属于他们。
this kind of feeling that i have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it,it's all ing from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.这种感觉,我有,女士们,先生们,是当它的感觉,喜欢这种气味,而且看来,这一切都从一个场景来记住,一个场景回顾和珍惜。
the other night, as i saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.i found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.有一天晚上,我看见月亮徘徊在土地和前被送进了无形的,心里却充满了歌曲。我发现自己轻轻哼唱,而不是音乐,而是别的东西,别的地方,一个地方记住,一个地方不动,一个草地,再没有人似乎除了鹿被。
and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our ing generation.once again, i have e to think of mrs.diana fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.和那些难忘的情景更增强了的感觉,现在需要我们做一些事情,为我们自己和我们的未来一代。再次,我所认为的夫人戴安娜弗西,因为它与她的精神,热情,勇气和强烈的生态环境,我们的感觉是,我们正在进入世界的下一个步骤。
and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.不管我们是谁,我们做什么,而且我们去,在我们的脑海,总有一个场景要记住,一个值得努力保护,并争取的场景。thank you very much.the rhythm of life most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.let me tell you what happened.i decided to take part in an international marathon in my hometown last year.being an ambitious person, i hoped to finish it within 5 hours, acpanied by my friend with whom i had trained.the big day finally arrived.“ready...set...bang” and we were off.at first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop.at this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and i thought running a marathon was a piece of cake.then my running mate began to slow down.i urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy.i felt i had partnered with the wrong person;therefore, i sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.a few kilometers later, i began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk.after that i was incapable of moving another step.i was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me.more than once i thought “maybe i should quit.” i started to doubt my ability to finish this race.at this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back.“follow me,” he shouted.he had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same.for the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again.slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace
within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.eventually we acplished our first marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours.i asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? my marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions.like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty.and from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements.it is the interaction of these plementary extremes that produces harmony, as laozi said, extremes meet.since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak.yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.ladies and gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.thank you for listening.
to me march 28th was a lucky day.it was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.winning the “21st century〃ericsson cup” seventh national english speaking petition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to municate offstage in addition to peting onstage.also the petition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.for me, though, the petition is a more personal experience.habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try.in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.i found that, after all, i like municating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.this ability improves with training.yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours.language is a means
to transmit information, not a means to obstruct munication.it should be lucid to be penetrating.in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.will it really help, we are pelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have e with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views? above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.only after these e delivery and non-verbal munication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language petent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood? i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my “appropriately ed speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response”.in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they e to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.some contestants failed to address their questions head on.some were able to, but did not knowswheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.the root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.or they were thinking of what they had prepared.as i said in my speech, “it is vitally important that we young people do
more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our way”.we need to respond honestly.a petition like this draws talented students from all over the country.and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking.since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective munication.and this goes true for all munications, whatever their setting.and the following is the final version of my speech: globalization: opportunities and challenges for china's younger generation thirty years ago, american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time.premier zhou enlai said to him, “your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no munication”.thirty years since, china and america have exchanged many handshakes.the fundamental implication of this exle is that the need to municate 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 economy, and politicians and diplomats are
getting together to discuss the issue of bating terrorism.peace and prosperity has bee a mon goal that we are striving for all over the world.underlying this mighty trend of global munication is the echo of e.m.forster's s “only connect!” with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.our culture, politics, society and merce are being sloshedsintosone 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 integratingsintosthe world.our recent entry to the wto is a good exle.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 a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have e 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 the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.globalization, they argue, should be about a mon 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 bee a reality.multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy.they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market 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 enjoy respect in the international munity.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.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 ing our way.this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech to me march 28th was a lucky day.it was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.winning the “21st century?ericsson cup” seventh national english speaking petition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to municate offstage in addition to peting onstage.also the petition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.for me, though, the petition is a more personal experience.habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try.in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.i found that, after all, i like municating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.this ability improves with training.yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.those ideas that finally find their way into another head need to be recognizably yours.language is a means to transmit information, not a

give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our way“.we need to respond honestly.a petition like this draws talented students from all over the country.and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking.since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective munication.and this goes true for all munications, whatever their setting.and the following is the final version of my speech: globalization: opportunities and challenges for china's younger generation thirty years ago, american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time.premier zhou enlai said to him, ”your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no munication“.thirty years since, china and america have exchanged many handshakes.the fundamental implication of this exle is that the need to municate 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 economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of bating terrorism.peace and
prosperity has bee a mon goal that we are striving for all over the world.underlying this mighty trend of global munication is the echo of e.m.forster's s ”only connect!“ with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.our culture, politics, society and merce are being sloshedsintosone 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 integratingsintosthe world.our recent entry to the wto is a good exle.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 a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have e 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 the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.globalization, they argue, should be about a mon 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 bee a reality.multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market,and the most favourable policy.they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market 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 enjoy respect in the international munity.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.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 ing our way.this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech a story.there was once a physical 1)therapist(临床医学家)who traveled all the way from america to africa to do a 2)census(调查)about mountain 3)gorillas(大猩猩).these gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 4)poaching(偷猎)and being put into the zoo.she went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.she witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the african rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5)cuddled(拥抱)their babies。
yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs.dian fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6)timeless(永恒的)reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.it has bee a lifestyle for some people, and has
turned out to be the driving force in gdp growth.it has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.but on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore.deforestation to heat lodges is devastating nepal.oil spills from tourist boats are polluting antarctica.tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to u2 on walkman and wear nike and reeboks.all these 7)appalling(令人震惊的)facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8)eroding(侵蚀)our resources.encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the united nations has made XX the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9)plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10)invalids(残疾人), some of them can not afford to send the money but they do.these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.why? because they care.because they still want their mother nature back.because they know it still
belongs to them.this kind of feeling that i have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all ing from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.the other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.i found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some-thing else, someplace else.a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our ing generation.once again, i have e to think of mrs.dian fossey be-cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.英语演讲比赛演讲稿

【演讲稿01】if i were a boy again 假如我又回到了童年
if i were a boy again, i would practice perseverance(毅力)more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient.if we want light, we must conquer darkness.perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results.“there are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.”
if i were a boy again, i would school myself into a habit of attention;i would let nothing e between me and the subject in hand.i would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of attention bees part of our life, if we begin early enough.i often hear grown-up people say “i could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, although i wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.if i were to live my life over again, i would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.i would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion.it takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately;but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble.it only needs early cultivation to bee a power.if i were a boy again, i would look on the cheerful side.life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, i smile back upon you;but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that e in contact with it.“who shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out from love.”
finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, i would, if i were a boy again, i would still try harder to make others happy.【译文】假如我又回到了童年,我做事要更有毅力,决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干,我们要光明,就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比。俗话说:“能登上金字塔的生物,只有两种——鹰和蜗牛。”
假如我又回到了童年,我就要养成专心致志的习惯;有事在手,就决不让任何东西让我分心。我要牢记:优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯,它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说:“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书,但往往做不到。”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。
假如我现在能重新开始我的生命,我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法,并且在一切可能的场合,增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西,在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力;但要不了多久,记忆力本身就会起作用,使记忆成为轻而易举的事,只需及早培养,记忆自会成为一种才能。
假如我又回到了童年,我就要事事乐观。生活犹如一面镜子:你朝它笑,它也朝你笑;如果你双眉紧锁,向它投以怀疑的目光,它也
将还以你同样的目光看待你。
内心的欢乐不仅温暖了欢乐者自己的心,也温暖了所有与之接触者的心。“谁拒爱于门外,也必将被爱拒诸门外。”
最后,假如我又回到了童年,我不会力图为自己谋幸福,好像这就是人生唯一的目的;与之相反,我要更努力为他人谋幸福。
★【演讲稿02】i love english as everyo am.it is a dream deeply rooted in my soul.i have a dream that one day, i can run, jump and pitch just like i used to be.i have a dream that one day, i can go back to my dream sports and join the national team.i have a dream that one day, i can stand on the highest place at the olympic games.with all the cameras pointing at me i will tell everyone that i'm so proud to be a chinese athlete!this is my hope.this is the faith that i continue my steps with!!with this faith ,i will live through the strong wind and heavy rain ,never give up!

every night, i have a dream, i see a girl---smiling ★【演讲稿05】don’t give up
if we would ever acplish anything in life, let us not forget that we must persevere.if we would learn our lessons in school, we must be diligent and not give up whenever we e to anything difficult.we shall find many of our lessons very hard, but let us consider that the harder they are the better they will do to us if we will persevere and learn them thoroughly.but there are some among us who are ready to give up when they e to a hard exle in mathematics, and say, ”i can't do this.“ they never will if they feel so.”i can't“ never does anything worthwhile;but ”i'll try“ acplishes wonders.let us remember that we shall meet with difficulties all through life.they are in the pathway of everyone.if we will only try and keep trying, we shall be sure to conquer and overe every difficulty we meet with.if we have a hard lesson today, let us strive to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.and if we learn to master hard lessons in school, it will prepare us to overe the hard things that we shall meet in life, when our school days are over.【译文】
不要忘记,在人生的道路上,要想做成什么事,我们必须持之以恒。如果我们在学校里想要学好功课,就必须得勤奋,任何时候遇到难题都不要放弃。我们会发现,许多功课非常难,但是我们得记住,那些功课越难,将来对我们的益处就越大--只要我们能持之以恒,完
全弄懂。
不过,我们当中有一些人,一遇到数学难题就轻易放弃,说:”这道题我做不出来。“ 如果他们这么认为,那他们永远也做不出来。说”我不能“的人永远干不成任何有价值的事,而说”我会努力“的人则可以创造奇迹。
让我们记住,在我们一生中,总要遇到各种难题。这些难题就横亘在每一个人的人生道路上。
只要我们努力,再努力,就一定会征服所遇到的每一个困难。假如我们今天功课上遇到一个难题,那就让我们竭力解决它,然后我们就可以做好准备应付明天更大的难题。假如我们在学校里就学会驾驭功课上的难题,将来离开学校后,我们就可以准备好克服我们在人生道路上遇到的各种难题。

honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, fellow students, good morning/afternoon: 尊敬的评委,先生们,女士们,各位同学们,早上/下午好!i’m very glad to be here.my name is wangqihang.非常高兴能参加比赛。我的名字叫王启珩。
i’m ten years old.i e from huanxi primary school.i’m in class 3, grade 5.我今年10岁。我来自环西小学,现在五年级三班。as a happy boy,i have many hobbies, such as sports, playing piano, singing, and drawing.我是一个快乐男孩。我有许多爱好,比如体育运动,弹钢琴,唱歌,画画等。
among them, travel is my favorist one.i have visited some other cities, like beijing, hainan, chongqing, guangxi, qindao, dalian and so on.旅游是我的最爱。我去过不少地方,如北京,海南,**,广西,青岛,大连等。

and i even dream about what the life will be when we are on planets other than our earth.甚至我还梦想着在地球外的其它星球上生活将会是怎样的。that is why i’m so interested in the following scientific report recently.所以最近我对下面这篇科学报道非常感兴趣。二.演讲部分:
在我们享受的时候懂得珍惜 cherish what we are enjoying it is a report about the new planet which holds possibility for life.发现了一颗有生命可能性的星球的报告。
it shows that european astronomers have discovered a new planet, they name it gliese 581 c.说欧洲天文学家们发现了一颗新的星球,代号为“gliese 581c”。it is about 20.5 light years from our earth.they estimated the planet's average temperature at between 0 and 40 degrees centigrade.it is orbiting the red dwarf star, gliese 581.它距地球约20.5光年。他们估计它的平均温度约在0℃~40℃之间。它围绕着红矮星gliese 581运行。
most important of all, it’s an earth-like planet.there might be mountin, sea and liquid water.最重要的是,这颗星球和地球非常相似,它可能有山峦,有海洋,还有液态水。
so the astronomers believe that it is potentially habitable.所以科学家们相信它能支持生命的存在。
however, gliese 581 c might be ”tidally locked" to it’s sun-the dwarf star the way our moon is to the earth.然而,就像月球一样,它只会公转,不会自转。
it means that it must always show its same face to its sun, and that while one side would be too fiercely hot to support life, the other side would be too cold.这就意味着它面对红矮星的一面会太热不适合生命体而背对红矮星的一面则会很寒冷。
this report makes me to realize that how valuable our earth is.这使我认识到我们地球有多么珍贵!everyday, we can see sunrise and sunset.我们每天都可以看到日出日落。
the day and night keeps on exchanging.it’s not too hot in the daytime while not to cold at night.一天早晚有变化,昼夜不停地交换使白天不过分热,夜晚不过分冷。
everyday, i go to school cheerfully in the morning and skip along at the way home as the sun set.清爽的早晨,我可以背着小书包高高兴兴地去上学。夕阳西下,我又蹦又跳地回到家。
we could experience changes through the four seasons of one year.一年四季有变化。
spring is the season sowing seeds.it is pregnant with life and green.春天是播种的季节,充满了生机和绿色。
in the summer, colorful swimming suits frolick in the water happily.夏天五顔六色的游泳衣在水里欢快地嬉戏。
autumn is the harvest season , the paddy fields and trees are covered with golden color.秋天是丰收的季节,金黄铺满了稻田洒满了枝头。
in the winter,we can have snow battle, playing to our hearts' content in the world of silvery white.冬天我们打着雪仗,尽情地在银白色的世界里玩耍。how fortunate we are because we can live on the earth!能生活在地球上,我们是多么地幸运啊。
we should cherish it, instead of polluting it, spoiling it or even destroying it.我们要珍惜它,千万别污染它,别糟践它,别破坏它!if one day, it is really angry and stop rotation, that will have be a disaster for us human being.如果有那么一天,它真的生了气停止了自转,那将是我们整个人类的巨大灾难。
so, let us protect our earth with our love, making it better and more harmonious.所以,让我们大家用自己的爱来好好保护宇宙中这颗唯一的地球
吧,使它更美好更合谐。

our every sensory nerve.so concerning that much sentiment music can express, i believe it is music that has gathered different parts of the world together, spanning both time and space gaps.furthermore, people nowadays don’t just use music simply for regulating the atmosphere or something like that.in psychology especially psychophysiology, music has been explored quite a lot for its effects on human’s brain, either for treatment or training skills.to sum up, i don’t think it’s improper to exaggerate a bit that life without music is just like a fish living without water.indeed, with respect to all the colorful feelings music brings as well as the instrumental influence that music exerts on us, music, is the that has changed the world.

what would you do if you had only one day left to live?(by 金璐 清华大学 第十四届―21世纪·联想杯‖全国英语演讲比赛冠军)―what would you do if you had only one day left to live?‖ i asked this question to my young students when teaching english this winter.what were their answers? ten years ago, at their age, i had a different answer: i would spend the last day of my life gazing at the face of my dear grandmother until i could inscribed every detail of it onto my mind.when grandmother was getting old and weak, my family bought her a telephone so i could save time and the trouble of traveling to her home by making phone calls instead.later we bought her a television so she could watch modern dramas by herself.then grandma must have been, we assumed, very contented and happy.even though i have a telephone, can she hear me now? even though i might be on television, can she see me now? don’t people just love the word of ―tele‖, which means far away.indeed this is how modern technology has changed our world.but please don’t forget this other word with ―tele‖: telepathy: which refers to human beings’ inborn ability to connect to our loved ones.our minds are supposed to read each other’s minds;our hearts are supposed to feel each other’s hearts — and fulfill these without any forms of tool!but the moment i desperately struggled to remember grandmother’s face, the telepathy between her and me had shut down forever.with the help of modern technology, i killed our telepathy.this shall never happen again!the ―tele‖s are great inventions.but ―telepathy‖ gives them the warmth of a human face.let’s harness the power of television to excite our kids to develop their telepathy with nature„ so that they can read the secret language of flowers.let’s make the telephone lines provoke us to preserve our telepathy with each other, so we can connect in a warm and feeling way.let technology keep our ―telepathy‖ alive!we need to wake up and make this happen.thank you very much!篇二:大学生演讲比赛策划书

【品牌简介】
大学生演讲比赛是我院重点学生工作品牌之一。大学生演讲比赛以河南科技学院新科学院法律系师生为智力支持,以展示我院学生的青春风采,增强同学们的自信心为设计指向,以提升广大学生的演讲技能与口才为直接目标,旨在打造一批具有较高语言表达能力的,综合素质强的当代优秀大学生。
经过开展多次活动后总结的经验教训,我们不断丰富我们的比赛内容和比赛形式,由最初的简单的规定形式和范围来让同学们进行一轮演讲,逐步升级演变到如今的演讲内容、形式不限,并且分为定题演讲,即兴演讲,才艺展示三个大环节。以后我们还要集思广益,使我们的大学生演讲比赛更加的形式新颖,内容丰富多彩。
【应用推广情况】 赛前,我们会积极、广泛深入地宣传我们的大学生演讲比赛,然后,经过我们初赛、复赛严格的层层选拔,最终定出最优秀的同学参加大学生演讲比赛的总决赛。比赛的精彩视频将会上传到学校以及外部的网站上,让更多的人欣赏到
当代大学生的青春风采。由本次活动选出的具有高水平演讲才能的同学,我们将会推荐其参加校级、市级、省级乃至全国范围的大学生演讲比赛。
大学生演讲比赛精彩纷呈,亮点倍出,受到了全院老师和学生的广泛关注,广大同学积极思考,踊跃参加。
【获奖情况】
大学生演讲比赛是个院级活动
【具体内容】
一、活动开展的背景
知识是不会产生力量的,只有那些被运用的知识才会有力量。古今中外的各界人士都是演讲的高手。他们当中不乏政界领袖人物、企业领袖等各界名人。中国近代女革命家秋瑾在对演讲的评论中讲到:“要想改变人的思想和观念,非演讲不可”。而在中国古文化中《周易·系辞上》这本书中是这样描述演讲的重要性“鼓天下之动者,存乎辞”。也就是说推动社会进步和国家前进都需要依靠的是演讲的力量。这些不外乎都说明了演讲的重要意义。当然,中国历史的长河中像诸葛亮、苏秦、张仪等等都是演讲与沟通的高手。他们公众演讲表达思想观念的力量一直影响着今天人们的生活和工作。当然,国外的演讲领域和国内的演讲,都随着经
济的发展得到了充分的肯定。虽然我国的教育体制中还没有开设演说口才这门专业课程,但在演讲方面,近年来有很多部门和单位都在开展这方面的培养课程。例如单位的领导竞聘、相关的演讲比赛等等,都在无形中在让更多的人意识到演讲的重要性和学习演说的积极性。口才魔法师张海翔认为,演讲就是一项个人技能,是可以通过训练而提升;演讲也是传递信息的一种方式,是可以被设计的;演讲是一种行销,要么销售观念、思想,要么销售一种产品。
李开复曾经说过,有思想而不表达的人就等同于没有思想。
演讲是一门语言的艺术,它旨在调动起听众情绪,并引起听众的共鸣,从而传达出你所要传达的思想、观点、感悟。演讲学是研究演讲的发生和发展规律以及演讲的方法和技巧的一门社会科学;并且是一门带有方法论性质的科学,一门具有很强的实践性的科学。
口才是一个人的修养、智慧和素质的外在表现。良好口才的标志是:言之有物、言之有序、言之有理、言之有文、言之有情、言之有趣。要做到这样并非一朝一夕的功夫,需要系统地学习。
生活在如今的社会中,我们必须要明白一个道理:酒香也怕巷子深。现如今,我们纵有一身的才华,但是如果我们
不通过自己表达展示出来,不毛遂自荐,是不会有人知道的。面试就是一个很好例子,通过仅有几分钟的语言交流,招聘方就会决定应聘者的去留,很可能也就决定了一个人的命运。所以,如果没有很棒的口才能力,即使是同等理论水平的人也会有截然不同的结果。
二、目标与思路
1、工作目标
大学生演讲比赛,着力提升学生的演讲口才水平和语言表达能力,打造一批面试竞争力强的优秀综合型大学生,为学生实现高质量的就业打下坚实的基础。
2、工作思路
以河南科技学院新科学院法律系为智力支持,以演讲口才专业要求为目标指向,精心设计活动载体,从而对学生实现有针对性的训练和培养。演讲在以下六个方面进行要求:演讲的空间站位,演讲时的姿势,演讲时的视线,演讲时的脸部表情,演讲时的声音、腔调和语速,演讲时的服饰和发型。针对这几项,通过大学生演讲比赛
三、活动内容与实施方法
大学生演讲比赛首先是由各个系进行人员报名,并进行初选,然后将初选的名单上报给河南科技学院新科学院法律
系学生会,然后由法律系学生会以适当的比例进行整个新科学院的演讲比赛初赛,初赛方法以定题演讲为主,通过初赛的人可进入演讲比赛的复赛,复赛中,除了定题演讲以外还要加入即兴演讲的环节,复赛过后将选出十个具有演讲才能的同学进入最终的总决赛,总决赛分为三个环节:第一环节,定题演讲;第二环节,即兴演讲;第三环节,才艺展示。各个环节所占分数比例分别为:30%、40%、30%。
具体的实施方案为:
(1)文体部:由文体部策划本次演讲比赛,并且制定出详细的比赛方案,一步步落实。(2)组宣部:做出“大学生演讲比赛”的宣传海报,积极地宣传本次大赛。
(3)社会实践部:通过各种形式与活动(适当情况下可以与相关企业开展合作)为本次大赛的举办筹集资金。
(4)其他各个部室协调分工,协助文体部把方案落实到细节,避免出现错误。
四、特色亮点

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical 1)therapist(临床医学家)who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2)census(调查)about
mountain 3)gorillas(大猩猩).These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 4)poaching(偷猎)and being put into the zoo.She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5)cuddled(拥抱)their babies。
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs.Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6)timeless(永恒的)reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has
turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth.It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore.Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal.Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica.Tribal people are
forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.All these 7)appalling(令人震惊的)facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8)eroding(侵蚀)our resources.Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's
attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection
organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9)plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10)invalids(残疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from
ecological damage in their neighborhood.Why? Because they care.Because they still want their Mother Nature back.Because they know it still belongs to them.This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some-thing else, someplace else.a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Dian Fossey be-cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our
ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.

Have you ever drawn pictures on public walls? Have you ever cut down trees? If your answers are “No”, it means that you have already helped protect our environment.It is our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy.You might ask yourself, “Have I ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin? Have I ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling? Have I ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighborhood?” If your answers are “Yes”, it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.Moreover, we should also use public transportation as possible as we can.We should also save water and electricity and other resources for next generation.Now I want to say: Let’s do our best to make our world more beautiful!
开场白:早上好,我亲爱的老师和同学。我的名字叫秦泽邦。我很高兴站在这里,我很荣幸能作一次演讲。我的主题是保护环境和低碳生活。正文: 现在,我想谈一谈一个美丽的世界!我总是梦想着能在一个美丽的国家。有很多花和我们的城市周围的树。我们可以听到鸟儿歌唱,看到孩子们跳舞。街道是明亮的、空气是非常新鲜!这是多好!但这只是我的一个梦!现实是几乎每天都我们可以看到堵车因为越来越多的人正在使用私家车的多污染空气。我们很少享用新鲜的空气,因为我们始终保持在空调房间里。因此,我认为我们应该采取措施保护我们的环境。每个人都应作出贡献,保护环境。照顾我们,这是环境的非常重要的。无论我们住在哪里,我们可以做些在我们的社区。你有过引发任何垃圾在地上吗?你有在公共的墙壁上涂鸦吗?你曾经砍倒树吗?如果您的答案是“No”,这意味着您已经帮助保护我们的环境。它是我们的责任,以保持我们的环境干净整洁。你可能会问自己,“有摘过一些垃圾和扔进垃圾箱吗?我曾经收集废纸或供循环再用的瓶子吗?我曾经栽了任何树木或内或附近我家附近的花吗?”如果您回答“是”,这意味着你已经为改善环境的有用的东西。此外,我们还应使用公共交通工具并尽我们所能。我们还应为下一代保存电力、水和其他资源。现在我要说: 让我们做最大努力使我们的世界更美丽!

A Scene to Remember
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas.These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo.She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been,where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.今天,我想首先用一个小故事。曾经有一个物理治疗师谁亲赴从美国到非洲做一个关于山地大猩猩普查。这些大猩猩是对游客的吸引力,主要来自世界各地,这使他们严重不足的偷猎威胁,目前到动物园付诸表决。她去了好奇,但她看见她的决心,增强她的一生奉献为这些美丽的生物战斗。她亲眼目睹的场景,场景带我们到一个地方,我们从来没有影像,我们经历过的,其中在非洲热带雨林的深处,树木,花卉,蝴蝶,大猩猩包围的母亲拥抱自己的婴儿。
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs.Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.是的,在我最喜欢的电影之一难忘的场景,呼吁在薄雾大猩猩的基础上,戴安娜弗西夫人,谁在此度过了一生中最卢旺达保护,直到她生命的最后的生态环境有真实的故事。
To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.对我来说,电影,不仅提供了一个难忘的场景,而且也是一个永恒提醒我们,我们不应该在发展我们的生态成本,环境,旅游业行为。
Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth.It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.But on the other hand, many problems can occurbig notes, small notes or even coins-from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.Some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.Why? Because they care.Because they still want their Mother Nature back.Because they know it still belongs to them.现在每年有很多地方ecoenvironmental保护组织接受捐赠-大笔记,笔记,甚至小硬币-从家庭主妇,管道工,救护车司机,售货员,教师,儿童和残疾人。其中一些人可没有钱给的钱,但他们这样做。这是谁驾驶的出租车,谁在医院护士,谁从他们所在地区的生态破坏的痛苦。为什么?因为他们的照顾。因为他们仍然希望他们回到大自然。因为他们知道它仍然属于他们。
This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it,it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.这种感觉,我有,女士们,先生们,是当它的感觉,喜欢这种气味,而且看来,这一切都从一个场景来记住,一个场景回顾和珍惜。
The other night, as I saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.有一天晚上,我看见月亮徘徊在土地和前被送进了无形的,心里却充满了歌曲。我发现自己轻轻哼唱,而不是音乐,而是别的东西,别的地方,一个地方记住,一个地方不动,一个草地,再没有人似乎除了鹿被。
And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Diana Fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.和那些难忘的情景更增强了的感觉,现在需要我们做一些事情,为我们自己和我们的未来一代。再次,我所认为的夫人戴安娜弗西,因为它与她的精神,热情,勇气和强烈的生态环境,我们的感觉是,我们正在进入世界的下一个步骤。
And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.不管我们是谁,我们做什么,而且我们去,在我们的脑海,总有一个场景要记住,一个值得努力保护,并争取的场景。Thank you very much.The rhythm of life 第十五届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军李亿演讲稿
Ladies and Gentlemen:
How well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? In our busy day to day existence, we don’t often stop to ask ourselves this question.At least I don’t.And it wasn’t until I joined a competitive sporting event that I learned a most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.Let me tell you what happened.I decided to take part in an International Marathon in my hometown last year.Being an ambitious person, I hoped to finish it within 5 hours, accompanied by my friend with whom I had trained.The big day finally arrived.“Ready...set...bang” And we were off.At first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop.At this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and I thought running a marathon was a piece of cake.Then my running mate began to slow down.I urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy.I felt I had partnered with the wrong person;therefore, I sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.A few kilometers later, I began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk.After that I was incapable of moving another step.I was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me.More than once I thought “Maybe I should quit.” I started to doubt my ability to finish this race.At this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back.“Follow me,” he shouted.He had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same.For the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again.Slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.Eventually we accomplished our first Marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours.I asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? My Marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.Like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions.Like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty.And from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements.It is the interaction of these complementary extremes that produces harmony, as Laozi said, extremes meet.Since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak.Yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.Ladies and Gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.Thank you for listening.
