然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识（求知）。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。

第五天：BOOKS 书籍

As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things.They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character.In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends.This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books.It is true that we can derive benefits from good books.However, bad books will do us more harm than good.如众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。

读书是一好事，但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。

第六天：A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY 乡村游记

One Sunday my mother(Mother)had(made)me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country.She bade me take good care of him.While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently.We saw the beautiful flowers smile(smiling)at us and heard the birds sing(singing)their sweet songs on the trees.The scenery was indeed very pretty(beautiful).When we felt tired, we returned home.We saw Mother(our mother)wait(waiting)for us at the door.有一个星期日，我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历。她吩咐我要好好照料他。

当我们感觉到疲倦的时候，我们就回家了。我们看见母样正在门口等候我们。

第七天：BE PATRIOTIC 要爱国

It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful(To make the country rich and strong is...).In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic(love his country).I consider this an unchangeable truth.How can a student love his country(be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear.He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his(the)country in the future.If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了达到此目的，必须爱国。我认为这是一条不易的定理。

一个学生如何才能爱国呢？我发觉答复很简单明了。他必须用功读书并积储知识以便将来服务国家。如果每个学生能按照我所说的去做，国家一定会富强。

第八天：THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光

An English proverb says that time is money.I consider it(this)wrong.Why? Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time(in anyway).For this reason, we may(can)say that time is more valuable than money.Many people do not know the value of time.It(this)is indeed a great pity.We must bear(keep)in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.英国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。

第十一天：HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日

Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly.We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours(time)of Sundays.This is indeed a great pity.Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient.We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books.In this way we will increase our knowledge.Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.我们许多人终是把星期日毫无目的地消度掉。这确实是十分可惜。我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得益处。虽然星期日是被指定为一个休息的日子，但是我们却应好好利用它。

诚的益处是什么？如果你对他人诚实，他们也会对你诚实作为报答。当你忧悉的时候，他们会安慰你。当你是处在困难中的时候，他们会帮助你。

If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull.And at the same time, we are lack of energy(ies)to study.Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong.Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise.For this reason, we students must often take different kinds(sorts)of exercise in the gym.Exercise helps us(to)strengthen our bodies and avoid disease.It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.如果我们的身体不强壮，我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同时，我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只为侵击体弱的人而不是强壮的人。

为什么我们的身体会不强壮呢？因为我们不注意运动。基于此种理由，我们学生必须时常在运动场做不同种类的运动。

运动帮助我们强壮身体并避免疾病。它也教我们合作，因为大多数的运动都是团体游玩的。

尊敬国旗是每个公民的责任（义务）。为什么？因为国旗是国家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬国家。换句话说，如果一个人爱国，他必须爱国旗。

在学校里，通常每天定时要升旗。那时，校长，老师，教职员学生教师将恭敬地站在它前面并且唱国歌。参加此项仪式确实非常有意义。

第十七天：THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION 教育的重要性

It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education.Why? Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country.No wonder they say that education decides the progress, prosperity and civilization of a country.At present(Nowadays)most countries in(of)the world are enforcing compulsory education.It is necessary for all kinds of people, both rich and poor, to receive education.Taiwan is an exception as well not.我们不可能使我们的国家富强而不发展教育。为什么？因为教育给予人民知识并教他们如何成为好公民以便能为国家效力。难怪，有人说教育决定一个国家的进步，繁荣与文化。

第十八天：INDUSTRY(DILIGENCE)勤勉

It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck.I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do.This is unchangeable truth.Idleness is the opposite of industry.It is the source of all evil.An idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures.That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt.We should not follow his example.勤勉会带给我们成功，财富和好运乃是当然之事。我确信一个苦干的人终是能够做成功他所要做的工作。这是不易之定理。

懒惰是勤勉的反面。它是万恶之源泉。一个懒惰的人只享受玩耍和寻乐。他命运注定失败是毫无疑问的。我们不应学他的榜样。

虽然世界的人民都反对战争，但是他们却无法能够避免它。这确实是件非常令人遗憾的事情。

战争是非常可怕的。每个人听到它都害怕。在一次战争中，成千成万的人丧失了生命，大量金钱浪费了。它带给我们无穷尽的痛苦和损失。

总而言之，只要战争不可避免，人类不可能享受持久的和平。他们的命运是多么悲惨呀！

第二十二天：COOD HEALTH 良好的健康

We all wish(hope)to be happy, so we should take good care of our health.Health is the best treasure(which)a man can possess.Money can do many things, but it cannot buy happiness.However, so long as man has good health, he can enjoy the pleasures of human life.In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things.They are-nourishing food, fresh air and proper exercise.我们大家都希望快乐，所以我们应该好好保重健康。一个病人因为失去健康而很少快乐。

健康是一个人所能拥有最好的财富。钱能做许多事情，但是它却不能购买。然而，只要一个人有良好的健康，他就能享受人生的乐趣。

为了保证良好的健康，我们必须注意三件事情。它们是营养食物，新鲜空气和正当运动。

第二十三天：MONEY 钱

Everybody wishes(hopes)to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood.In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live without it.For this reason, we have an interesting proverb.It says ―Money can make the world go around.‖ In a word, money is more powerful than anything else.However, money should not be wasted.It must be used for(some)proper purposes.We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way.每个人为了能够维持生活，所以都希望得到钱。换句话说，钱是非常有用，所以没有它人类即无法生活。基于此种理由，我们有一句有趣的谚语。它说有“钱能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之，钱比任何另外的东西更有力量。

然而，钱不应该被浪费掉。它必须用于正当的用途上。我们青年人应该养成不乱花钱的好习惯。

第二十四天：THE CHINESE NEW YEAR 中国新年

I like the Chinese new year better than any other festival.This is a time especially for rest and joy.I need not study.I wear good clothes and eat good food.I have a good time from morning till night.To be frank with you, I am as happy as a king.The Chinese new year lasts as long as fifteen days.It gives us more pleasure than we have imagined.After that we have to（比用must来得好）resume our normal work.1分钟英语演讲短文

第二十五天：THE ZOO 动物园

The zoo is the most interesting place that I have ever seen in my whole life.It is like a garden which shows(exhibits)various kinds of animals, birds and insects.It is indeed a good idea to pay a visit to the zoo during school holidays.The more you look at the animals, the happier you will become.Of(Among)all the animals, the monkey is(monkeys are)the funniest.That’s my opinion.Do you agree.动物园是我一生中所知道的最有趣的地方。它像一个各种类类动物，鸟类以及昆虫展览的花园。

第二十六天：HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION 我如何度过暑假

No sooner had the summer vacation begun than I returned to my native town.Of course I must make good use of it;otherwise I would incur the displeasure of my parents.In the morning I reviewed my lessons and read newspapers or magazines.In the afternoon I played ball games with my friends or went fishing in the river.At night(In the night)I watched television with my family(the members of my family).hardly had the clock on the wall struck ten when I went to bed.暑假刚一开始，我就回故乡了。自然我须好好利用它，否则我会招致父母的不快。

第二十七天：KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 知识就是力量

如果我们没有知识，我们就不能做成功任何事情。为什么？因为知识就是力量。冯藉知识我们征服了大自然，并且发明了轮船，火车与飞机。我们能用电报传递消息。我们能用电话和朋友谈话。

如众所周知，我们学生都是国家未来的主人翁。她非常需要我们。如果我们不努力去获得知识，将来如何来报效她呢？

第二十八天：A LETTER TO A FRIEND 一封给友人的信

Dear X:

We have not seen each other for a long time.I miss(think of)you very much.I wish(that)I had wings and could fly to your home.However, this is impossible!

祝你好

××× 敬上

第二十九天：CHOOSING FRIENDS 选择朋友

A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them.Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world.To have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones.Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart.On the other hand, we should do our best to a void keeping company with bad people.一个小心选择朋友的人一定会从他们那里获得益处。为什么？因为在这个世界里假朋友比真朋友要多。有一个真朋友要比有一百个假朋友来得好。凡是当面奉承你的朋友不是真朋友。

我们必须和凡是具有良好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反过来说，我们应尽力避免结交坏人。

第三十天：TO RISE EARLY 论早起

I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late.They will never have the opportunity to enjoy(of enjoying)the fresh air and calmness of the morning.This is indeed a quite regrettable thing.To rise early is a good habit(which)we should cultivate.Why? Because the best time when we can pursue our studies is in the morning.In addition, early rising is also good to our health.I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early.我不知道某些人要晚起的理由。他们永不会有机会来享受早晨的新鲜空气和宁静。这真是一件 发令人遗憾的事情。

早起是我们应该养成的一种良好习惯。为什么？因为早晨是我们从事学业的大好时间。再者，早起对我们健康也有益处。我希望每个人应该知道我们必须早起的理由。

第三十一天：THRIFT 节俭

There is not a(no)thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later.Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary.Little by little his money will accumulate.Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way.They do not know extravagance is a bad thing.It can only make them happy for the time being.In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.没有一个节俭的人迟早不成为一个富翁。为什么？因为他决不花像那种不必要的钱。渐渐他的钱就会聚积起来。十之八九，他一定会发财的。

我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是一件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之，节俭使穷人变富，奢侈使富人变穷。

第三十二天：PERSEVERANCE 毅力／坚忍

Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success.In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it.This is indeed unchangeable truth.Our National Father, Dr.Sun Yat-Sen, is the most ideal example.He was devoted to the revolution about forty years.He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged.As a result, he won.The Republic of China was born.不需说，只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作终是

1分钟英语演讲短文

(never...without)会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。

我们国父孙中山先生是一个最理想的例了.致力国民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。结果，他赢了。中华民国诞生了。

第三十三天：MY MOTHER 我母亲

My mother is a woman of the old school.She is too conservative to keep up with the times.However, she is good-natured and treats others incerely.For this reason, all her neighbors are only too glad(pleased)to make friends with her.They consider her a model woman.She is a typical housewife.She keeps the(her)house neat and clean and looks after us with extreme care.She often says to us, ―You cannot study too hard.‖

我母亲是中国老式女子。她太保守无法跟上时代。然而，她性情善良，待人诚恳。基于此种理由，所有她的邻居都十分高兴和她结交朋友。他们认为她是模范女子。

她是一位标准的家庭主妇。她把家保持整洁。她小心翼翼地照顾我们。她时常对我们说：“你们越用功越好”。

第三十四天：WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成The secret of success(The key to success)is not so much money as a strong will.A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit.In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win(get)the final victory, he will never succeed in his life.He is no more than a failure.It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing(nothing difficult)in the world.if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end.That stands to reason.成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志（用not so mush...as）。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是（用no more than）一个失败者。

很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

When someone disagrees with you or offends you, don’t lose your temper.Why? Because it is of no use to do so.You ought to(should)be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him.You must know that patience is not cowardice, but a virtue.I hope that everybody practices it.1分钟英语演讲短文

In addition, patience will also bring us success.When you meet with difficulties in your work, it is no use losing heart.You must keep on fighting until(till)the final victory belongs to you.当有人和你意见不同或开罪你的时候，你切不可发脾气。为什么？因为这样做是无用的（用of no use）。你应当忍耐并且保持冷静，唯恐和他争吵。你必须知道忍耐不是弱而是一种美德。我希望人人都实行它。

另外，忍耐也会带给我们成功。当你在工作中遭遇到困难的时候，灰心是无用的。你必须继续作战直到最后胜利属于你为止。

我们每天至少应当洗一个澡。

不要穿脏衣服。

总而言之，如果我们能实行上面所说的那些规则，我们既不会生病也不会吃苦。

第三十八天：WORK WHILE YOU WORK, PLAY WHILE YOU PLAY 工作时工作，游玩时游玩

Both work and play are necessary to us;the former gives us knowledge while the latter(gives)rest.An English proverb is well said: ―Work while you work play while you play.‖ It makes our life pleasant, efficient and successful.Work is one thing and play is another.It is of course not good to work all day long.However, it is also not good to play all day long.While you work, you should work in earnest.Then while you play, you will feel more relaxed and pleasant.That goes without saying.工作和游玩两者对我们都是必须的，前者给我们知识，后者给我们休息。英谚说得好“工作时工作，游玩时游玩”。它使我们的生活愉快，有效率以及成功。

工作是一回事，游玩又是另一回事。整日工作自然不好。然而，整天游玩也是不好。当你工作时，你应认真工作。那末当你游玩时，你会觉得比较轻松愉快。那是不需说的。

第三十九天：MY FAVORITE PASTIME 我心爱的消遣

It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health.In other words, we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements, such as playing ball games, collecting stamps, fishing, gardening, skating and so on.As for(to)me, I take great delight in gardening.Whenever I am at leisure, I am accustomed to growing flowers.I regard them as my most agreeable companion.不需说，工作而不休息会对健康有害的。换句话说，我们最好工作后，从事分的消遣来轻松一下。

1分钟英语演讲短文

无疑的，消遣的种类很多，诸如打球，集邮，钓鱼，园艺，溜冰等等。

就我而言，我大大喜欢园艺。每当我有闲暇的时候，我习惯于种花。我把它们看作是我最称心如意的伴侣。

第四十天：FACTORS OF SUCCESS 成功要素

I would rather suffer hardships than fail.In other words, to achieve success is my only desire.We all know that there are many factors of success.Now let me write down the most important ones in the following.Diligence—Foolish as a person is, he can succeed in his work if he works hard.That does not admit of any doubt.Perseverance—When you fail, don’t lose heart.Keep on working until you accomplish your aim.Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your words, no one will rely on you.I would rather be scolded than cheat(others).我宁愿受苦难不愿失败。换句话说，获致成功是我唯一的愿望。我们大家知道成功要素很多。现在让我们把它们最重要的写在下面。

勤勉――一个人虽然不大聪明，但是他地能做成他的工作，如果他苦干的话。那是不容置疑的。

毅力――当你失败的时候，不要灰心。要继续工作，直到你达到目的为止。

诚实――如果你说谎或不守信，没有人会信赖你。我宁愿挨骂不愿欺骗人。

第四十一天：MY AIM 我的志向

Whatever a man’s status is(may be), he must have an aim.If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world.That stands to reason.However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them become our object in life.We should aim at doing something useful to the society.If my aim can come true, I hope(wish)to be a teacher.However, teaching is by no means an easy thing.I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties(as a teacher).不论人是什么身份，他必须有一个志向。如果没有的话，他很难立足于世上。那是显而易见的。

不论名利如何重要，我们切不可让它们成为我们生活之目标。我们应当志在做一些对社会有益的事情。

如果我的志向能实现的话，我就希望成为一个老师。然而，教书并不是一容易的事情。我必须专心学业以便能应因我的职责。

第四十二天：OUR NATIONAL FATHER 我的國父

There is no doubt that Dr.Sun Yat-Sen is the greatest man that I ever known in my whole life.He set up the Republic of China, so we call him our National Father.He was devoted to the revolution about forty years.His aim was to liberate China from the hands of the Manchu Dynasty.He had not met with result, but he was not discouraged at all.As a result, he accomplished his end in the long run.To sum up, his strong will and indomitable spirit are worth our worship and imitation(are worth our worshiping and imitating).无疑的，中山先生是我一生知道的最大的人物。他建立中民國，所以我他為我的國父。

他致力革命凡四十年。他的目的是清朝手里解放中國。他曾遭遇屡次的失败，但他却一点也不灰心。那是不需说的。结果，他终于达到目的。

总而言之，他坚强的意志和不屈不挠的精神（是）值得我们的崇拜和仿效。

The Old Cat

An old woman had a cat.The cat was very old;she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old.One day the old cat saw a mouse;she jumped and caught the mouse.But she could not bite it;so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse.She began to hit the cat.The cat said, “Do not hit your old servant.I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old.Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young.”

【译文】

老猫

一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。

于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”

A man was going to the house of some rich person.As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road.He said, “I do not want to eat those apples;for the rich man will give me much food;he will give me very nice food to eat.” Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.He went on and came to a river.The river had become very big;so he could not go over it.He waited for some time;then he said, “I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river.”

He began to go home.He had eaten no food that day.He began to want food.He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.Do not throw good things away;you may be glad to have them at some other time.【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

Once there were two mice.They were friends.One mouse lived in the country;the other mouse lived in the city.After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse;he said, “Do come and see me at my house in the country.” So the City mouse went.The City mouse said, “This food is not good, and your house is not good.Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city.You would live in a nice house made of stone.You would have nice food to eat.You must come and see me at my house in the city.”

The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse.It was a very good house.Nice food was set ready for them to eat.But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise.The City mouse cried, “ Run!Run!The cat is

coming!” They ran away quickly and hid.After some time they came out.When they came out, the Country mouse said, “I do not like living in the city.I like living in my hole in the field.For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid.”

【译文】

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠

从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”

乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。

过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。

第三篇：英语演讲小短文

Heavy schoolwork【课业繁重】

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.High should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Which tends to be stifled by too much study.Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。

Time【时间】

Lost time is never found again.This is something which I learned very clearly last semester.I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.I finally realized that something had to be done.It was time for a change.Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely.I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.This will give me a head start on the day.I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it.Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.时光一去不复返，这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡，以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为；该是痛改前非的时候了。

现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时，这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。

Work and Play【工作与娱乐】

Work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they complement each other.As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school.Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来渲泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。

放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉飨宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。

My first Job【我的第一份工作】

My first job was at a cramming school.It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination.since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message.I worked eight hours a day, six days a week.The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well.The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业，考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事，倒不如找份差事，尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。

我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时，一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重，所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了！

My Favorite Sports【我最喜爱的运动】

Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.Table tennis is my favorite game.I play it almost every day.Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.Table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动，特别是桌球，桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。

桌球对我们而言，是一项理想的运动，因为它可以使我们全身运动，它可以增强我们的肌肉，扩张我们的肺部，促进血液循环，并且使肌肤产生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。

Keep learning【保持学习】

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire

for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。

一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。

英语演讲短文——年终餐会

we want to thank all the people here for taking time out of your busy schedule at the busiest time of the year to e to our year-end party.tonight we are very fortunate to have our friends from johnson pany with us here to celebrate the year-end festivities together.we all hope you will be able to have a good time tasting the chinese cuisine, drinking the chinese wine, and, above all, enjoying the chinese 'authentic' entertainment.our young talented employees are going to perform.now, let us propose a toast to this happy occasion at the end of the year.(after all the cups glasses has been filled.)here's to johnson's and good electric!邀请外商客户参加年终餐会，使其见识中国人的[饮食文化]，这主意也是不错的。席间对于贵宾百忙之中抽空光临表示感谢之意，并且在请其品尝美酒佳肴欣赏余兴节目之际，带头举杯预祝双方今后的合作愉快。

无限辽阔的远景在我们面前展现

死亡，老年，不过是空话，毫无意义;我们听了，只耳边风，全不放在心上。这些事，别人也许经历过，或者可能要承受，但是我们自己，“在灵符护佑下度日”，对于诸如此类脆弱的念头，统统付之轻蔑的一笑。像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程，极目远眺——

向远方的美景欢呼!

此时，但觉好风光应接不暇，而且，前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端，我们听任自己的志趣驰骋，放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此为止，我们还没有碰上过什么障碍，也没有感觉到什么疲惫，因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去，直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地——生机盎然，变动不居，日新月异;我们觉得自己活力充盈，精神饱满，可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且，眼前也无任何迹象可以证明，在大自然的发展过程中，我们自己也会落伍，衰老，进入坟墓。由于年轻人天真单纯，可以说是茫然无知，因而将自己跟大自然划上等号;并且，由于经验少而感情盛，误以为自己也能和大自然一样永世长存。我们一厢情愿，痴心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暂时栖身，当作千古不变、万事长存的结合，好像没有冷淡、争执、离别的密月。像婴儿带着微笑入睡，我们躺在用自己编织成的摇篮里，让大千世界的万籁之声催哄我们安然入梦;我们急切切，兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯，怎么也不会饮干，反而好像永远是满满欲溢;森罗万象纷至沓来，各种欲望随之而生，使我们腾不出工夫想死亡。

向远方的美景欢呼!此时，但觉好风光应接不暇，而且，前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端，我们听任自己的志趣驰骋，放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此为止，我们还没有碰上过什么障碍，也没有感觉到什么疲惫，因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去，直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地——生机盎然，变动不居，日新月异;我们觉得自己活力充盈，精神饱满，可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且，眼前也无任何迹象可以证明，在大自然的发展过程中，我们自己也会落伍，衰老，进入坟墓。由于年轻人天真单纯，可以说是茫然无知，因而将自己跟大自然划上等号;并且，由于经验少而感情盛，误以为自己也能和大自然一样永世长存。我们一厢情愿，痴心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暂时栖身，当作千古不变、万事长存的结合，好像没有冷淡、争执、离别的密月。像婴儿带着微笑入睡，我们躺在用自己编织成的摇篮里，让大千世界的万籁之声催哄我们安然入梦;我们急切切，兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯，怎么也不会饮干，反而好像永远是满满欲溢;森罗万象纷至沓来，各种欲望随之而生，使我们腾不出工夫想死亡。

第五篇：英语演讲小短文

英语演讲小短文(2分钟的）

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。

一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。

2．heavy schoolwork【课业繁重】

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.High should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Which tends to be stifled by too much study.Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。

3．Time【时间】

Lost time is never found again.This is something which I learned very clearly last semester.I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.I finally realized that something had to be done.It was time for a change.Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely.I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.This will give me a head start on the day.I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it.Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.时光一去不复返，这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡，以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为；该是痛改前非的时候了。

现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时，这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。

4．Work and Play【工作与娱乐】

Work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they complement each other.As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school.Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来渲泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。

放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉飨宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。

5．My first Job【我的第一份工作】

My first job was at a cramming school.It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination.since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message.I worked eight hours a day, six days a week.The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well.The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业，考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事，倒不如找份差事，尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。

我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时，一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重，所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了！

6．My Favorite Sports【我最喜爱的运动】

Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.Table tennis is my favorite game.I play it almost every day.Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.Table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动，特别是桌球，桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。

桌球对我们而言，是一项理想的运动，因为它可以使我们全身运动，它可以增强我们的肌肉，扩张我们的肺部，促进血液循环，并且使肌肤产生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。

One day, a father and his little son were going home.At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions.Now, he asked, “What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?” “Well, my son,” his father replied, “look, there are standing two policemen.If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk.” “But, dad,” the boy said, “ there's only ONE policeman!”

醉酒

一天，父亲与小儿子一道回家。这个孩子正处于那种对什么事都很感兴趣的年龄，老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲发问道：“爸爸，‘醉’字是什么意思？” “唔，孩子，”父亲回答说，“你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个，那么我就算醉了。” “可是，爸爸，”孩子说，“那儿只有一个警察呀！”

Is Failure a Bad Thing Failure is a common thing in our daily life.As students, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our exams.When we play games, we might be beaten by others.And there are times when we fail to do work well.All these failures happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experiences.However, there are different attitudes towards failure.Some people lose heart when they fail;they think the world is at its end.Some people don„t take failure seriously but just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure.In my opinion, what is really important is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and what we do after failure.As long as we don„t give up, keeping believing in ourselves, and at the same time learn something from failure, we„ll certainly make our mark in the end.So I am never afraid of failure, for I believe that failure is not a bad thing.Rather, “Failure is the mother of success.”

失败是坏事吗 失败在我们的日常生活中很常见。作为学生，我们有时在考试中得不到高分。在我们和其他人比赛时，有时会输。还有的时候，我们总做不好事情。所有这些失败都很自然，我们每一个人都有类似的经历。然而，面对失败人们的态度却截然不同。一些人失败后变得灰心丧气，似乎世界末日到了；一些人不拿失败当回事儿，听之任之；还有一些人却从失败中学习东西，从而从失败中能看到希望。在我看来，重要的不是失败本身，而是我们对待失败的态度和失败之后我们的行动。只要我们不放弃，相信自己，并从失败中汲取营养，我们最后一定会取得胜利。因此，我从不害怕失败，因为我相信失败并不是坏事。相反，“失败是成功之母”。

Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon!I‟m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.today my topic is “Life”.I hope you will like it ，Man‟s life is a process of growing up, actually I‟m standing here is a growth.If a person‟s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices.Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however that‟s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for(= what will happen to)me.When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here.Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job.

你对你的将来怎么看呢？可能那会是一个很美好的愿望。让我们坚定我们的目标，为之努力，并真正的享受我们的生命.A Boy and His Tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad.“Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.“I am no longer a kid, I don‟t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys.I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don‟t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them.So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited.He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn‟t come back after he picked the apples.The tree was sad.One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.“Come and play with me.” The tree said.“I don‟t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don‟t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn‟t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build the boat.You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.“Sorry, my boy.But I don‟t have anything for you anymore.No more apples for you.” the tree said.“ I don‟t have teeth to bite.” The boy replied.“ No more trunk for you to climb on.” “I am too old for that now.” the boy said.“I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.” The tree said with tears.“I don‟t need much now, just a place to rest.I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.“Good!Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest.Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…

This is a story of everyone.The tree is our parent.When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad… When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy.You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.很久以前有一棵苹果树。一个小男孩每天都喜欢来到树旁玩耍。他爬到树顶，吃苹果，在树荫里打盹……他爱这棵树，树也爱和他一起玩。

随着时间的流逝，小男孩长大了。他不再到树旁玩耍了。

一天，男孩回到树旁，看起来很悲伤。“来和我玩吧！”树说。

“我不再是小孩了，我不会再到树下玩耍了。”男孩答到，“我想要玩具，我需要钱来买。”

“很遗憾，我没有钱……但是你可以采摘我的所有苹果拿去卖。这样你就有钱了。”男孩很兴奋。他摘掉树上所有的苹果，然后高兴地离开了。自从那以后男孩没有回来。树很伤心。

一天，男孩回来了，树非常兴奋。“来和我玩吧。”树说。“我没有时间玩。我得为我的家庭工作。我们需要一个房子来遮风挡雨，你能帮我吗？”很遗憾，我没有房子。但是，你可以砍下我的树枝来建房。“因此，男孩砍下所有的树枝，高高兴兴地离开了。

看到他高兴，树也很高兴。但是，自从那时起男孩没再出现，树有孤独，伤心起来。

突然，在一个夏日，男孩回到树旁，树很高兴。“来和我玩吧！”树说。

“我很伤心，我开始老了。我想去航海放松自己。你能不能给我一条船？” “用我的树干去造一条船，你就能航海了，你会高兴的。”于是，男孩砍倒树干去造船。他航海去了，很长一段时间未露面。

许多年后男孩终于回来了。“很遗憾，我的孩子，我再也没有任何东西可以给你了。没有苹果给你……”树说。“我没有牙齿啃。” 男孩答到。“没有树干供你爬。”“现在我老了，爬不上去了。” 男孩说。“我真的想把一切都给你……我唯一剩下的东西是快要死去的树墩。” 树含着眼泪说。“现在，我不需要什么东西，只需要一个地方来休息。经过了这些年我太累了。”男孩答到。“太好了！老树墩就是倚着休息的最好地方。过来，和我一起坐下休息吧。” 男孩坐下了，树很高兴，含泪而笑……

这是一个发生在每一个人身上的故事。那棵树就像我们的父母。我们小的时候，喜欢和爸爸妈妈玩……长大后，便离开他们，只有在我们需要父母亲，或是遇到了困难的时候，才会回去找他们。尽管如此，父母却总是有求必应，为了我们的幸福，无私地奉献自己的一切。你也许觉得那个男孩很残忍，但我们何尝不是这样呢？

美国总统林肯所作的著名的盖茨堡演说

Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.We are met on a great battlefield of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,----that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion,----that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,----that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,----and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.英语演讲开场方式欣赏

Today I come to Oslo as a trustee, inspired and with renewed dedication to humanity;I accept this prize on behalf of all men who loved peace and brotherhood.I say I come as a trustee, for in the depths of my heart I am aware that this prize is much more than an honor to me personally.今天，我以受托人的身份来到奥斯陆，心情激动，充满了献身人类的新勇气。我代表所有热爱和平与兄弟情谊的人们接受这个奖。我之所以以受托人的身份来到这里，是因为，在我的内心深处，我意识到这个奖决不仅仅是我个人的荣誉。

The road of history is not level and smooth all along.Sometimes the path will come to a dangerous and difficult place.It is only with the valiant and gallant spirit of the travelers that it can be passed through.The vast and mighty Yangtzi River, when it comes to an endless, broad plain, will flow ten thousand miles in a rapid current.But as it reaches a narrow valley with high ranges of mountains, cliffs and precipices on both sides, which look dangerously steep, the river has to force its way through them in a winding, tortuous course.The same is the case with the developing course of a nation's history.The history of human race is like going on a journey.Some of the places the traveler passes through are smooth and level pianos, and others are dangerous and rugged paths.The experienced travelers, when they moved on to a broad, level road, will naturally walk along with a light heart, but while they are passing through a rugged place they will all the more be seized with curiosity, and in such an extremely fantastic and magnificent realm, will all the more feel a sort of pleasure in an adventure.历史的道路，不总是平坦的，有时会变得艰难险阻。这只能靠英勇无畏的精神才能够冲过去。

一条浩浩荡荡的长江大河，有时流到很宽阔的境界，一望无际，一泻千里。有时流到很逼狭的境界，两岸丛山叠岭，绝壁断崖，江河流于其间，曲折迂回，极为险峻。民族生命的进展，其历程亦复如是。

人类在历史上的生活正如旅行一样。旅途上的征人所经过的地方有时是坦荡平原，有时是崎岖险路。老于旅途的人，走到平坦的地方固是高高兴兴地向前走，走到崎岖的境界，愈是奇趣横生，觉得在此奇艳壮绝的境界，愈能感得一种冒险的美趣。

My fellow and my friends;Once I read a piece of news report.It says, “A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day.His brother, whose age excelled school age, was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother's pencil at his side.Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully, his little eyes were winking, and said to his brother seriously, ”When will it thirty-second, brother?“ The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile, ”What are you going to do on that thirty-second?“ ”Papa promised me to send me to school,“ said his younger brother.His brother, the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles.My God!My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling.They were exhausted.How could they afford my younger brother's schooling? Oh, thirty-second...My dear friends, hearing this, didn't you feel sorry for them? We share the same native land, the same blue sky under the sun.Why cannot they be given lesson at school, sitting in the bright and big classroom? We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country.But now the country's fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough.What should we do? It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.同胞们，朋友们：

我曾看过这样一则报道：”某边远山区一个中学生，一天在家复习功课，一旁的已过入学年龄的小弟弟拿他的铅笔在纸上写着、涂着、画着，突然若有所思地仰起小脸，眨巴几下小眼睛，认真地问：'哥哥，什么时候才到32号呀？'这位中学生看看天真的小弟弟，笑着逗他：'32号你要干啥？''爸爸说，到32号才能送我去上学。'中学生望着可爱的小弟弟，内心针扎般难受：天哪，父母为了供自己上学，整日操劳，身体都累垮了，哪还有能力再送弟弟上学？啊！32号......"

朋友们，当你听了这个故事，你不感到痛心吗？同在一片故土上，同在一片蓝天下，为什么他们不能坐在宽敞明亮的教室里去读书？我们常说：国家要振兴，教育须先行。而我国的财力、物力都不宽裕，怎么办？这就需要全社会的人齐心协力为国家分忧，为国家出力！
