What Is Real Beauty?
Yang Lingyuan
本篇是96年湖南省第二届非英语专业大学生英语演讲比赛团体二等奖获奖者之一的演讲辞。其中引用正、反两方面的事例来论述“真正的美不在外表,而在内心”这一观点的方法值得学习与借鉴。
It is human nature that all of us should be fond of beauty.Everybody was born with a heart for beauty.Today in China,with the rising of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly.Some people spare no money or energy on beautiful clothes, fashionable hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks.But it seems to me,all
these are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.In my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance and neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty.As we all know,so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only beautiful appearance to be mentioned, but to us humanbeings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important.This was confirmed by a famous Russian writer in words much like this: “A person is
not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely.”
Here, I'd like to quote two typical instances and I'm sure, my dear friends,from them you'll find out what real beauty is.Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer.She is very charming with a sweet beautiful voice and very famous for singing the song.“Devotion of Love”.Not long ago,she was invited to Zhejiang province to give performance.The moment she was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward.Worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once.Instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece.Thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour.So when she at last showed up and started to sing “Devotion of Love”,a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,“You don't have any devotion of love.You are not qualified to sing this song!”Hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the man.At this time the whole audience burst into an uproar.How disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this!It is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.Now, I'm coming to another true story.It's about a poor, ordinary looking old woman.She was a widow without any children, living barely from hand to mouth by picking odds and ends from rubbish heaps.However,she took in more than ten homeless orphans successively and managed to bring them up.Every day she labored from morning till night.In order to earn as much money as possible to raise the children and to keep them in school,she even went to a hospital regularly to sell her blood.She got so weak for the loss of blood that she sometimes fell in a faint on her way home.When asked why she chose to burden herself with so many children,she smiled and simply answered,“Oh,I love children and I like to have their company.”
Though the old woman was poor materially, she was full of affection and rich in spirit.She was loved dearly by her children.She was also highly appreciated by the local government, and truly respected by people in her community.Maybe you can't help wondering, “What makes that ordinary woman so extraordinary?” It is nothing else but her inner beauty, her true devotion of love without any thought of rewarding.What a sharp contrast there is between the great woman and the selfish singer]
So,to answer the question “What is real beauty?”, I declare definitely,it is the beauty lying in one's heart of hearts and embodied in his actions and deeds,that is,the inner heauty!
Learn How to Say No
We've all been taught that we should help people.It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others.It may even win us favors in return.However, we must be realistic.We can't say yes to every request.If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure.Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help.In this case, we must know how to say no politely.When we need to say no, here is one method we can try.First, we should tell the truth.If we really can't do something, we should just say so.Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely.We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic.A true friend will understand.Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no.Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do.It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble.In short, we cannot please everyone all the time.Refusing favors is a part of life.学习如何说不
我们都被教导说,我们应该要帮助别人。这是应该做的事,而且这样做会使我们受人欢迎。它甚至会为我们赢得一些回报。但是,我们必须要实际一点。我们不能答应每一个要求。如果我们这么做,我们就一定会失败或发疯。有时候我们确实没有时间去帮忙。既然如此,我们就必须知道如何有礼貌地说不。
当我们需要说不的时候,有个办法我们可以试试。首先,我们应该要说实话。假如我们真的办不到某件事,我们就应该说不。第二,我们应该记得要客气地拒绝对方的要求。我们必须清楚地表达,但态度也必须真诚并且表示同情。一个真正的朋友会谅解的。最后,我们不必为了说不而觉得有罪恶感。有时候拒绝别人才是我们应该做的事。它可以替我们自己和别人,都省下许多麻烦。总而言之,我们无法一直取悦每个人。拒绝请求是人生的一部分。
I Regain Confidence

专家点评:本演讲语言较流畅,从具体事件人手,将主题升华,催人奋进。
I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years.I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted.But one of the panel members told me: “You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged.” My life has never been the same since.I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence.But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party.Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf.It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English.Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf.To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use.As the dwarf, I was a big hit.Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique.Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place.The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world.I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites.I would rather be myself.I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe.please, be yourself.译文:我重树信心
大学生活的几年里,当我参加第一次面试时,我的自信心受到了沉重的打击。我向“学生剧团”申请出演一个主角,而且我十分自信地认为我会被录用。但是,其中有个剧团成员告诉我:“你似乎不太合适出演这个角色,因为你的身高有点问题。”我从未遇到过这种情况。我穿着高跟鞋来弥补我的身高,采用心理策略和技巧来掩盖自己信心的缺乏。但是,不论我怎样努力进入角色,感觉还是缺少些什么。
作为英语俱乐部的主席,我为英语晚会组织排演了《白雪公主》短剧。不幸的是,我们找不到合适的人选出演最后一个小矮人。这个角色必须生性幽默,英语流利。突然,所有人的目光都转向了我,我知道那个小矮人就是我了。让我极度奇怪而又高兴的是,一上台,我完全投入到演出中,而且我那幽默的天性被发挥得淋漓尽致。作为一个‘’小矮人”,我取得了巨大的成功。
的确,我们中的任何一个人都是千百万中的一员,但我们中的每个人都是一个与众不同的个体。发挥我们自己的个性会改变我们的生活,使它们成为美丽的万花筒。
失去了多样性的世界是个冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲剧不是个矮、害羞或丑陋,而是将自己的个性迷失在一个克隆的世界里,那里到处都是典型的酷男孩或无瑕、迷人的好姑娘。
如果让我选择,我宁可面貌五陋,也不愿生活在这样一个世界里。我宁可做一个伴随“白雪公主”的真实的小矮人,也不愿做“白雪公主”世界里的一个白雪公主,而随波逐流。我宁可作为一个真实的自我而出现。我愿将自己独特的、与众不同的色彩奉献给多姿多彩的世界。“走自己的路,让别人去说吧!”
Enjoy Yourself While Fulfilling Responsibility

专家点评:本文主题突出,以小见大,寓意深刻,语言朴实自然,表达的情感强烈,是一篇演讲佳作。
In my 18 years of life, there have been many things.University days are the best part of them.I can never forget the days when I stepped into my university.I was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere.I at once fell in love with it.After the arduous military training, I get absolutely absorbed in my studies.The classes given by the teachers are excellent.They provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well.They easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as I can.Frankly speaking, at first I had some difficulty following the teachers.However, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers' guidance, I made remarkable progress.Now I've benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports.Learning is a long process;I'll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself.This summer I got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world.A publishing house offered me a part-time job in compilation and revision.At the beginning I was belittled by my colleagues.But they were really surprised when I translated seven English articles over 5,000 words on only one day.Gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes.In their opinion I turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.I also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy.So I often take part in activities concerning public welfare.I once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates.We taught the kids there who could not afford school.While showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, I was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their purity.I couldn't control my tears on the day when we left.The precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.Besides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well.I do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic.We also write a play and put it on in our spare time.Campus life is the most splendid time.But different people have different choices.The majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they'll become outstanding.But there are indeed some students still under ignorance.They gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards.They're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend.They forget completely about their mission as college students and the hope of their motherland.Finally, I do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country.I do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society!
译文:享受生活、牢记使命
在我这18年的生命中,有着许多美好的经历,而大学生活则是其中最难忘的一段。我永远不会忘记刚刚跨进大学校园的那几天:花园一样的校园,热情活跃的学生,特别是那里的学习气氛,给我留下了深刻的印象。
经过了一段艰辛的军事训练后,我完全融入到了学习中。老师的讲课真是棒极了。他们传授给我们的不仅是课本上的知识,还包括其他各种各样的信息。我渴望获得尽可能多的知识,是老师激发起了我这个不能满足的欲望。
坦率地说,一开始我还不能跟上老师的讲课。但是,通过我自己的努力以及老师的指导,我取得了巨大的进步。我从老师的授课和其他许多学术报告中获益匪浅。
学习是个循序渐进、长期的过程,我会在知识的宝库中不断探索,丰富自我。今年暑假,我跨出象牙塔,进入并接触到了真正的社会。一个出版社给了我编辑和校对的兼职工作。
工作初期,同事们都礁不起我。但是,当我在一天之内翻译完7篇(总字数超过5000字)的英语文章后,他们真的是
大吃一惊。渐渐地,他们开始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他们认为,我变成了一个有用并值得信赖的好同事。
我也同样意识到,只有那些为别人带来幸福的人才能真正的幸福。因而,我经常参加有关公众福利享业的活动。有一次,我和同学去了一个贫痔的山区村庄。在那里,我们教那些没钱上学的孩子。我向他们展示了一幅宽广、文明的外部世界的画面,但同时我也被那些孩子学习的渴望、他们的真诚和纯洁深深打动了。在我们离开的那一天,我那不争气的眼泪禁不住流了下来。这次珍贵的经历让我们这些未来的教师意识到了自己肩上的责任重大。
除了学习和社会实践,我还经常参加娱乐活动。我每天都锻炼身体,希望保持健康和充满活力。我们还在业余时间写剧本并排练演出。
园生活是最丰富多彩的。但是,不同的人有着不同的选择。大多数的学生珍惜他们的美好时光,并殷切希望将来能出类拔萃。可是,的确有学生无动于衷。他们聚在一起吃喝玩乐;他们忙于追求异性朋友;他们完全忘记了自己作为大学生的使命和祖国对他们的厚望。
最后,我希望每个人都能尽最大努力成为国家的有用人才。我也希望每个人都能成为我们民族的脊梁,为社会做出巨大的贡献!

Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest.It is an assembly of some of China's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me.but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, “Could you please explain this to me? I want very much to do better this time.” I started explaining, and finished in a hurry.Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off quickly.Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer.No one ever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself.I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, “Why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?”
I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it
was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word “responsibility” and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures.But never again did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can.As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself.New buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.New ideas, new information, new technologies.People can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds.Society is becoming more competitive.Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.Such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it.Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.We hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.Such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.History has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.But this doesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I will be living.Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity.But that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.We are not going to evade that responsibility.We are going to let people down.And people, far and near, will hear of us.Frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.

much.and hello again ladies and gentlemen.actually,i dont really agree with the first sentence of this topic:in the age of the internet,reading books does not seem as important as it was once.why?why is it the case?why is it the situation,ladies and gentlemen?actually,internet or books are just like tea or coffee.they are similar,but they are different.unibersity students nowdays love to use the internet to search for information when they are working with their essays.like,last semester,when i was working with my physics essay,i logged into google and i searched for newton and all the laws and theories of newton just popped out and i can choose whichever one i like to use.but when i walked into the library,all the books came out and i have to choose which one to read.how inconvenient!maybe you can say at this moment,oh,internet is better,books no use.so i have to use internet,right?but lets see the things in another way.i love traveling a lot and i love to bring a book with me.and i love to read my da vinci code when i was having my trip on a bus or on a ship.actually,whenever it is,wherever you go,whatever you are doing,you can take out a book and read if you feel like doing so.now who will bother to take a laptop and switch it on,and search for the internet connection,and look for stories to read.how inconvenient!so at this very moment i think its quite dangerous for me,because i think im unable to answer the question in the topicwhich method do you prefer,internet or books?because i love the feeling of conjuring a hundred pages of harry potter,more than scrolling down the screen;but at the same time i love the feeling of searching the things,the speed of my searching for things on the internet,more than wasting my time in the library.so in this age of internet,in this age of modernization,in this age of civilization,why do you have to force someone to choose between internet and books?i prefer using both of them.thank you very much.ÎÊÌ⣺contestant no.13.thank you very much for encouraging us to be uealistic dreamers(thank you)and not surrender to mr.reality.(hehe..)with the traffic jam getting worse--especially in big cities--im actually very interested in your childhood dream:to invent a device that can move people around easily.is this still your dream?if not,why do you give it up?is it because it is considered uealistic?thank you.ÎÊÌ⣺thank you very much for your speeches.talding about internet,i just want to know your view.do you believe everything is ture on the internet?if not,why not? »Ø´ð£ºthank you very much.i dont believe everything is true in the internet.this is a straight forward answer.and if not,why not?because i dont believe them.and i have an experience of meeting someone on the internet who claims to be a girl.yes and,a very sad,sorry story for me.but yes,for this reason,i think i dont believe that everything on the internet is true.but i will try my best to discover if that was true

第五篇:全国大学生英语演讲比赛演讲稿
全国大学生英语演讲比赛演讲稿 im grateful that ive been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, could you please explain this to me? i want very much to do better this time.i started explaining, and finished in a hurry.pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly.nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer.no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldnt forgive myself.i simply couldnt forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, why didnt you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didnt you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret? i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word responsibility and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.later in my life, i continued to experience many failures.but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it.yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who cant even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.probably ill be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.but this doesnt discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, its going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.i cant ever forget that little girl in my class who couldnt had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.we are not going to evade that responsibility.we are going to let people down.and people, far and near, will hear of us.frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.篇二:全国大学生英语英语演讲比赛第一名 顾秋蓓 演讲稿 全国大学生英语英语演讲比赛第一名 顾秋蓓 演讲稿 a scene to remember gu qiubei shanghai international studies university advisor: gong longsheng good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.today i would like to begin with a story.there was once a physical 1)therapist who traveled all the way from america to africa to do a 2)census about mountain 3)gorillas.these gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 4)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 weve ever been, where in the very depth of the african rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5)cuddled their babies.yes, thats 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 reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.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 worlds 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.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 no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, theres always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.thank you very much.篇三:全国英语演讲比赛一等奖,清华大学曹丰 英语演讲稿 our future: a battle between dreams and reality good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen: when i was in the primary school, i have a dream.i want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all.when i was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university.and when eventually i got into the university, my dream was to graduate.ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real.it is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies.flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years.a hundred years ago, man could not fly was still regarded as the reality.now if that was really the reality, what did the wright brothers do? how did some of you get to macau? only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.people say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams.and if, unfortunately, mr.reality wins this war, then i see no future of mankind at all.aids will never be curable as this is the reality;people living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this is the reality;4)disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance is the reality.主持人:thank you.曹丰:thank you.问题:now in the age of the internet,reading books does not seem as important as it once was.do you think people can learn as much on the internet as they can by reading books?which method do you prefer? 回答:thank you very much.and hello again ladies and gentlemen.actually,i dont really agree with the first sentence of this topic:in the age of the internet,reading books does not seem as important as it was once.why?why is it the case?why is it the situation,ladies and gentlemen?actually,internet or books are just like tea or coffee.they are similar,but they are different.unibersity students nowdays love to use the internet to search for information when they are working with their essays.like,last semester,when i was working with my physics essay,i logged into google and i searched for newton and all the laws and theories of newton just popped out and i can choose whichever one i like to use.but when i walked into the library,all the books came out and i have to choose which one to read.how inconvenient!maybe you can say at this moment,oh,internet is better,books no use.so i have to use internet,right?but lets see the things in another way.i love traveling a lot and i love to bring a book with me.and i love to read my da vinci code when i was having my trip on a bus or on a ship.actually,whenever it is,wherever you go,whatever you are doing,you can take out a book and read if you feel like doing so.now who will bother to take a laptop and switch it on,and search for the internet connection,and look for stories to read.how inconvenient!so at this very moment i think its quite dangerous for me,because i think im unable to answer the question in the topicwhich method do you prefer,internet or books?because i love the feeling of conjuring a hundred pages of harry potter,more than scrolling down the screen;but at the same time i love the feeling of searching the things,the speed of my searching for things on the internet,more than wasting my time in the library.so in this age of internet,in this age of modernization,in this age of civilization,why do you have to force someone to choose between internet and books?i prefer using both of them.thank you very much.问题:contestant no.13.thank you very much for encouraging us to be unrealistic dreamers(thank you)and not surrender to mr.reality.(hehe..)with the traffic jam getting worse--especially in big cities--im actually very interested in your childhood dream:to invent a device that can move people around easily.is this still your dream?if not,why do you give it up?is it because it is considered unrealistic?thank you.回答:thank you very much.this is not my dream now.not because it is(not), realistic.maybe you can say its unrealistic.but if i,my interest is still inventing this device,i will keep on trying my best to invent this decive.my changing of my dreams is because of the fact that i realized my interest does not lie in science.now i am a law school student.but last semester,as ive just mentioned,i was working on my physics essay paper and actually last semester i was a student in the school of aerospace.oh my god,aerospace!and ive changed my major to law school.and so 问题:thank you very much for your speeches.talding about internet,i just want to know your view.do you believe everything is ture on the internet?if not,why not? 回答:thank you very much.i dont believe everything is true in the internet.this is a straight forward answer.and if not,why not?because i dont believe them.and i have an experience of meeting someone on the internet who claims to be a girl.yes and,a very sad,sorry story for me.but yes,for this reason,i think i dont believe that everything on the internet is true.but i will try my best to discover if that was true or not,or that was falsified or not.thank you very much.问题:contestant no.13.thank you very much for your speeches.you were talking about dreams being realistic or unrealistic and your current dream is to graduate from law school.but what is your realistic or unrealistic dream after that?what do you want to use your graduation in law for? 回答:thank you very much.actually,my dream,as mentioned in the last part of my speech,is to share my feelings,share my dreams with the globe.and when all the people in this earth have my dream,they will work hard for the social betterment,i believe in that.so after ive graduated from law school,i think i will try my best to persuade the others to,to accept my dream,and that is exactly why i am here.i am here trying to persuade you all,i think you all,after listening to my speech,hopefully,you can try to understand my dream and that we are all a member of the global village,and we have to try our best to work hard for the social betterment of all.this is why i want to be,saying,speaking something here,and that is my goal--or realistic or unrealistic dream after ive graduated.i think i will try my best to du what ive said before.thank you very much.篇四:21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛演讲稿

专家点评:引用文学大师的诗句作为开场白,与结束语首尾呼应,颇有感染力。东西方文化的融合表现得十分鲜明,意味深长,是篇优秀的演讲。crossing the sea good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.the title of my speech today is crossing the sea.an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in his poem we and they: 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? todays 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 its no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds 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 nations mentality.just look around.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 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 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?谁不是铁下篇五:全国大学生英语演讲比赛演讲稿 dream is my top concern honorable judges , fellow students: good evening!i’m number xxx--wangxi who is major in chemistry and biology.i’m glad to be here to share my speech today.what’s your top concern? maybe the answer of a father is his family and of a mother is her children, for the young adults , maybe a good job、a bright future or endless fortune is their top concern ,and you may tell me that your girlfriend or your boyfriend is your top concern, after all, love is beautiful right? but i was expected to hear a loud voice here to tell me that“dream is my top concern”。
