毕业仪式上的英语演讲稿3篇 1976年乔布斯和朋友成立苹果电脑公司，他陪伴了苹果公司数十年的起落与复兴，深刻地改变了现代通讯、娱乐乃至生活的方式。他曾在毕业演讲上说过，将每一天都当做最后一天来活，我想这就是他的人生态度和他所作出的成就中不可或缺的因素，也能看出他对人生、对知识、对未来的思考。下面我们就来读一读史蒂夫·乔布斯的英语毕业演讲稿吧。my third story is about death.when i was 17 i read a quote that went something like if you live each day as if it was your last, someday youll most certainly be right.it made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, i have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, if today were the last day of my life, would i want to do what i am about to do today? and whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, i know i need to change something.remembering that ill be dead soon is the most important thing ive ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.remembering that you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.you are already naked.there is no reason not to follow your heart.我的第三个故事关于死亡。我17岁的时候读到过一句话“如果你把每一天都当作最后一天过，有一天你会发现你是正确的”。这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。从那以后，过去的33年，每天早上我都会对着镜子问自己：“如果今天是我的最后一天，我会不会做我想做的事情呢？”如果连着一段时间，答案都是否定的的话，我就知道我需要改变一些东西了。提醒自己就要死了是我遇见的最大的帮助，帮我作了生命中的大决定。因为几乎任何事——所有的荣耀、骄傲、对难堪和失败的恐惧——在死亡面前都会消隐，留下真正重要的东西。提醒自己就要死亡是我知道的最好的方法，用来避开担心失去某些东西的陷阱。你已经赤裸裸了，没有理由不听从于自己的心愿。about a year ago, i was diagnosed with cancer.i had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.i didnt even know what a pancreas was.the doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that i should expect to live no longer than three to six months.my doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors code for prepare to die.it means to try and tell your kids everything you thought youd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months.it means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family.it means to say your goodbyes.大约一年前，我被诊断出患了癌症。我早上七点半作了扫描，清楚地显示在我的胰腺有一个肿瘤。我当时都不知道胰腺是什么东西。医生们告诉我这几乎是无法治愈的，我还有三到六个月的时间。我的医生建议我回家，整理一切。在医生的辞典中，这就是“准备死亡”的意思。就是意味着把要对你小孩说十年的话在几个月内说完；意味着把所有东西搞定，尽量让你的家庭活得轻松一点；意味着你要说“永别”了。i lived with that diagnosis all day.later that evening i had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor.i was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.i had the surgery and, thankfully, i am fine now.我整日都想着那诊断书的事情。后来有天晚上我做了一个活切片检查，他们将一个内窥镜伸进我的喉咙，穿过胃，到达肠道，用一根针在我的胰腺肿瘤上取了几个细胞。我当时是被麻醉的，但是我的妻子告诉我，那些医生在显微镜下看到细胞的时候开始尖叫，因为发现这竟然是一种非常罕见的可用手术治愈的胰腺癌症。我做了手术，现在，我痊愈了。这是我最接近死亡的时候，我也希望是我未来几十年里最接近死亡的一次。这次死里逃生让我比以往只知道死亡是一个有用而纯粹书面概念的时候更确信地告诉你们，没有人愿意死，即使那些想上天堂的人们也不愿意通过死亡来达到他们的目的。但是死亡是每个人共同的终点，没有人能够逃脱。也应该如此，因为死亡很可能是生命最好的发明。它去陈让新。现在，你们就是“新”。但是有一天，不用太久，你们有会慢慢变老然后死去。抱歉，这很戏剧性，但却是真的。你们的时间是有限的，不要浪费在重复别人的生活上。不要被教条束缚，那意味着会和别人思考的结果一块儿生活。不要被其他人的喧嚣观点掩盖自己内心真正的声音。你的直觉和内心知道你想要变成什么样子。所有其他东西都是次要的。乔布斯在演讲稿的结尾中说，以“stay hungry, stay foolish”与大家共勉。这位巨星虽然已经陨落，但我们不仅活在由他改变的生活里，今天更是在英文演讲稿中受到他的启迪。

My uncle ordered popovers

from the restaurant's bill of fare.And when they were served,he regarded them

with a penetrating stare...Then he spoke great Words of Wisdomas he sat there on that chair:

“To eat these things,”

said my uncle,“you must excercise great care.You may swallow down what's solid...BUT...you must spit out the air!”

And...as you partake of the world's bill of fare,that's darned good advice to follow.Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.And be careful what you swallow.Thank you.

Language ARTS.5th Period

Graduation Speech

Once we finish our final exams, many of us might never see each other again, and we might never sit in the classroom of St.Charles listening to our teachers.But “If not us, who? If not now, when?”This quote is said by John F.Kennedy, America’s 35th president.It means that the time is pushing us forward, and we have to keep going.We will leave many things behind the road.I feel excited for the new things that are waiting ahead of me, and also feel sad to leave St.Charles and all the great teachers and staff.Good-by, my teachers.Many of you are the greatest teachers I’ve ever met in my life.Thank you for teaching me knowledge and skills.Thank you for helping me to be a better person.Most importantly, thank you for helping me overcome my language barrier.Good-by, my friends.Thank you for being my friends, you added color on to my life, and made my life interesting and fun.Good-by, my classmates.The last day of school might be the last time I will see you.I will miss you and all the good time we have spent together.When I look at my year book one day, I will say ,“Ha, I remember you ” And I will not forget the fun things we have done.I have changed a lot in the three years I have been in St.Charles.Firstly, I learned many things from this school.My English improved from being able to understand nothing to being able to almost understand anything.These changes are huge.But the most important thing St.Charles gave to me is courage.The courage to talk to other people, and to actually be part of a group.I can say that St.Charles helped me pass hardest time in life.When I first came here from China.I could hardly understand anything I was very shy when I talked with people I didn’t know.With my language difficulties, I could barely talk to people and understand what they were saying.Also, the completely different culture made my life very hard.Sometimes I have to do six hours of homework and go to sleep at one o’clock.But the teachers, staff, and classmate are so nice.They give me lots of help when I need it.With that help and my effort, my English grows better and better., and the hardest time has finally passed.Thank you to all those who have helped me , I will never forget what you have done for me.Look back at our school, it’s not fashionable, it’s not big, it doesn’t have new technology, and it even looks small at first.But we all love it.It’s like our second family, a family filled with joyfulness.Here, everyone helps everyone, everyone love everyone.I feel love and kindness here, that is something that I cannot feel from other schools.Those are the unique things about our school.That is why we loved it , and wanted to stay there.We will miss this school so much because we’ve spent so much of our life here.But like John F.Kennedy said “If not us, who ? If not now, when ?” There are still many exciting things waiting for us in our future.We can’t just stop and miss the other beautiful sights coming up.To keep going and get a good gradd is the most important thing for me to do now, because that is what I think I’m supposed to do.It is the starting of all.You have to gain knowledge to develop your skill and to reach your goal.And I believe that I will go farther if I get more knowledge.I will remember all the great things St.Charles had taught me, and remain thankful after I leave St.Charles.And I will come back and visit our school again, and visit those teachers who taught me, and people who helped me.
