美国之音（以下称VOA）的英语节目，按播音速度可分为两种：Standard English（标准英语）和 Special English（特别英语）。

Special English 又叫“慢速英语”，是VOA 专为全世界非英语国家初学英语的听众安排的一种简易、规范的英语广播节目。该节目创始于50年代末期，是VOA 的专家们研究如何与世界各地的英语学习者进行交际的产物。它正式开播于1959年10月。当时只面向欧洲和中东，但由于这个节目适合许多国家英语学习者的需要，所以它的广播对象不久就扩大到世界其他地区，并很快在全世界范围内产生了广泛的影响。现在这个节目对欧洲、非洲和拉丁美洲每晚广播一次，对加勒比地区每晚广播一次（星期天除外），对东南亚广播次数最多，每天上午两次，晚上三次。

30多年来，VOA 为了办好Special English节目，进行了大量的调查研究工作，对播音速度、内容及用词范围都作了具体规定，基本上达到了既能为英语学习者提供信息，又不损害英语本身风格的目的，使之成为VOA 独具特色，拥有最大量听众的节目。

美国著名词汇学家S.B.Flexmer 指明了Special English的三条标准，也就是它所“特别”的地方：

1、它是一种由美国人最常用的1500个基本单词为主体构成的美国英语；

2、它用简短、明晰的句子写作和广播；

3、它以每分钟90个单词的速度，即2/3的Standard English（标准英语）速度进行广播。

Special English的节目可分为两大类：一类是新闻节目；一类是专题节目。

1．新闻节目

VOA Special English 的新闻广播向听众提供世界范围内的政治、经济、军事、外交、国际关系、宗教、天气以及各种重大事件和珍闻奇事等各个方面的信息，每天向东南亚地区广播五次，早上两次，晚上三次，每逢半点播出。

Special English新闻节目每次长约十分钟，大都播出十条左右新闻，近一千个单词，每条新闻多为一分钟，但偶尔也有长达两分钟的要闻。除头条新闻外，每条新闻都由一个电头引导，这样显得结构分明，条理清晰，适宜初学英语的人收听。在节目结束之前，播音员常常用三四句话重播其中三条新闻的提要以加深听众对要闻的印象。

Special English新闻中70%左右的内容与同时整点播出的Standard English新闻相同，但相同新闻的先后次序有所变动。每次节目的开头和结尾大同小异，格式比较固定。

2．专题节目

（一）Special English的专题节目（Feature Programs）,从时间上看，可分为两大类：一是每五分钟一次的专题，二是每十五分钟一次的专题。本节先介绍每项五分钟一次的专题材节目。

Special English五分钟一次的专题材节目安排在Special English新闻节目之后和（或）每十五分钟一次的专题材节目之前播出，每星期播七次。根据内容，可分为三个小类，即：Science Report（科学报道），逢星期一、三、五播出，每天播六遍；Agriculture Report（农业报道），逢星期二、四播出，每天播六遍；Words And Their Stories（词语掌故），逢星期六和星期天播出，每天播五遍。这三个专题材各具特色，具有相对的独立性，听众每听完一个节目，都会获得一个完整的印象。

Science Report（科学报道）这一专题材节目每周向听众介绍三篇有关现代科学技术最新发展情况的报道，涉及物理、化学、天文至高无上理、生物、环卫、心理、教育、医学和计算机等方面。适宜理工科大学生和科技工作者收集信息，积累资料，学习科技英语。

Agriculture Report（农业报道）Agriculture Report是为农业科技工作者和生产者安排的一个专题。它专门报道世界各国，特别是美国现代农业生产的最新成文汇报总务科 学家对农业生产某一方面的研究进展，以及他们对影响农业生产的某一自然现象进行分析和研究的近况。此外，它还经常向听众介绍发展中国家家业生产的一些有益经验等内容。

Words And Their Stories（词语掌故）这一专题节目，旨在向学习英语的听众介绍美国英语中生动有趣的词语和惯用法，并从科学研究和通俗词源学的角度来解释它们的含意、产生的背景及其在使用过程中的演变情况等。它通过讲故事的形式讲解每一个词语。这是VOA Special English中的优秀节目之一，是学习美国英语的极好材料。通过收听这一节目，听众不仅能学到娓娓动听的掌故和地道的美国英语，而且能增加美国的社会文化背景知识，历史传统与现状的了解。

VOA 为了更好地办好这个节目，便于听众收听学习，于1978年编辑出版了一本名为Words And Their Stories的书，共收集一百篇故事，作者是Herbert Sutcliffe, Harold Bermen 及VOA 该节目的部分编辑人员。在每次的实际广播中，播音员都以此书为蓝本，再根据需要对原稿进行适当增删。按每周两个故事计算，此书的一百个故事还不能满足一年的播音需要。于是编辑们就是重播部分词语掌故的同时，不断增加许多新的词语掌故，及时将词源学家的最新研究成果和不断增加的新词汇介绍给听众。收听实践证明，初学者在收听过程中必然会遇到许多人名、地名和一些较难的句子，有时甚至在听完之后还很难理解所播词语的确切含义及其汉语意思，为此，听众可参看1983年由中国对外翻译出版公司出版的该书英汉对照本中的有关部分。

3．专题节目

（二）VOA Special English的专题节目，除上节谈的五分钟一次的以外，还有本节要介绍的每十五

分钟一次的节目。这类节目共有七个不同的小专题，以星期为单位循环，每天分四次复播出一个专题，但星期日和星期六的两个专题材每晚只播三遍，每次节目约十分钟，继每次五分钟的专题节目之后播出。

这类专题节目的基本结构是，在特定的伴声中先报告当次节目的名称，并扼要介绍其主要内容，然后播送节目正文。最后，在伴乐声中报告节目主持人和撰稿人的姓名，以邀请听众在下周的这个时间继续收听该节目而结束。

People in America（美国人物志）这是有关美国历史名人的一个专题节目，每逢星期天晚上播出。它向听众介绍在美国历史上产生过重大影响、起过重要作用、作出了突出贡献的科学、文学、政治、或其他各方面的历史人物。节目一般都对他们的生平事迹进行简要的叙述，对其贡献作出评介，类似人物小传。有的重要人物事迹很多，必须用两次或几次的节目时间进行联播。对这样的节目要坚持收听，才会获得完整的印象。

TThis is America（今日美国）This Is America向听众介绍美国人民的生活、学习、工作和娱乐情况，是英语学习者解美国社会的一条渠道。该专题大都一个节目一个整体，每逢星期一晚播出。

Science in the News（科学新闻）这一专题材主要对新近的科学技术新闻进行综述或摘要广播。向听众介绍世界各国在自然、医学、疾病、原子能、航天等方面的科研动态、成果、突破性进展及存在的困难。涉及当今世界人们普遍关心的重大问题，如核事故、航天飞机爆炸、自然灾害、环境污染和爱滋病等等。每逢星期二播出，每次播一到五条新闻摘要。

Explorations（自然探索）每逢星期三晚上，听众可以收听到Explorations这一专题节目。该专题既涉及人类遨游太空、探索原子、研究自身、改造自然的现代技术，也报道发展中国家开发新资源，利用新工艺改善人民生活等方面的成就，其侧重点在各种科技实验和简易实用技术方面。该节目一般安排一段时间播一个系列，每次播出一个主题，以便能将某项新技术的研究和应用的全过程介绍给听众，电台还乐意为感兴趣的听众提供所需的文字材料。

The Making of a Nation（建国史话）这一专题节目向听众介绍美利坚合众国从十三个殖民地区域到现代工业国的孕育、诞生以及形成超级大国的历史过程，并以历史为线索，特定的历史时期为单位，以重大的历史事件为主题材来叙述各个党派、各届总统和政府的历史作用与贡献。这是每个英语学习者都应了解的基本知识。The Making of a Nation每逢星期四播出。这是个系列节目，坚持收听，则有助于系统了解美国的历史概况。

American Mosaic（美国万花筒）American Mosaic是一个radio magazine（广播杂志）节目。该节目题材广泛、内容丰，展示着美国社会文化生活中比较轻松愉快的生活画面；听众收听该节目就如同在阅读一本图文并茂的杂志。它每次有三到五个小节目，涉及音乐、图书、技术和教育等方面的内容。我们既可以从中欣赏到著名歌唱的优秀歌曲，对美国音乐有所了解，又可以获取一些生动有趣的现代美国社会生活知识，随着播音员那亲切悦耳的声音步入美国风景如画的大好河山；同时还能听到世界各地的听众提出的有关英语语方文学等方面的问题和电台的解答。

American Stories（美国故事）这一专题材节目安排在每星期六晚上播出。这样能使听众在学习和工作之余，得以轻松一下头脑。我们可以通过这一美国文学的“窗口”，接触各种流派、各类名家的文学作品。了解美国英语的时代特色，欣赏、学习美国人民运用语方的技巧，并从那些佳作名篇中获得艺术享受。该节目对短篇故事采取一次播一篇的方式，对中、长篇小说则先进行简写加工，再分几次播出全文。在播出故事正文之前，播音员常常先介绍故事的主要情节。对需要分几次节目时间播出的中长篇，在播第二或以后各部分之前，主持人还先重述已播部分的故事梗概，以唤起听众的回忆，使故事听起来更加连贯。

The Chinese and Indian foreign ministers have discussed ways to ease tensions and increase economic ties.It was the first high level meeting between the Asian powers since a new government took power in India.Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his Indian counterpart, Sushma Swaraj, met for three hours in the Indian capital New Delhi.Afterwards, Indian official said both countries agreed much could be done to improve their economic relationship.Gautam Bambawale of India's foreign ministry says China will consider the possibility of expanding economic cooperation between the two countries.Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi(L)gestures to his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj before their meeting in New Delhi, June 8, 2014.“Foreign Minister Wang Yi also said that the economic development of India is something that is supported by the Chinese government,” Bambawale said.Indian Officials say more Chinese investment could reduce India's trade deficit with China.That deficit has increased to more than $30 billion.India says it wants more Chinese investment in roads, ports and other systems.India also would like increased investment in manufacturing-areas in which India is behind China.Some foreign policy observers in India expect new Prime Minister Narendra Modi to increase economic ties with China as he tries to meet his campaign promise to develop India's economy.But the two countries also have a disputed boarder in the Himalayas.The conflict remains unsettled after years of negotiations.India accuses Chinese troops of entering its territory in the past year raising tensions.The Chinese Premier Li Keqiang was the first foreign leader to congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his election victory.Mr.Modi described China as “always a priority in India's foreign policy.”

Mr.Modi took an aggressive position about China and Pakistan during his campaign.However, he has shown signs that building ties with neighboring countries will be important.An Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman said several high level meetings are planned this year, one will include a visit by the Chinese Premier to India.And that is the Economics Report from VOA Learning English.I'm Mario Ritter.英语四级培训：http://edu.21cn.com/kcnet1820/ 英语四级一对一咨询qq：1613508081

第三篇：VOA慢速英语-丑闻威胁到中国的大学入学考试

This is VOA Learning English Education Report.这里是美国之音慢速英语教育报道。

Millions of high school students in China took a college entrance examination recently.The highly competitive test is often praised for giving good students a chance to enter the best schools.It makes the competition for college fair for students from poor families.The examination is known as the Gaokao.中国数百万高中学生最近参加了高考。这一竞争激烈的考生常被誉为给优秀学子提供了进入最好学校的机会。它使得大学入学考试对贫困家庭学生也能公平。该考试被称为高考。

Universities are supposed to require good scores on the test for admission to college.But reports suggest that some people are getting into schools without even taking the test.Education is very important to gaining a good standing in Chinese society.This year, about nine million students competed for about seven million places in colleges.各大学理应对入学考试有很高的成绩要求。但有报道表明，一些人甚至没参加考试就能入学。教育对在中国社会中获得良好地位来说非常重要。今年大约有900万名学生争夺700万个左右的大学名额。

Every June, Chinese media report on the hard work and worry of students preparing for the Gaokao.This year, however, newspapers are writing stories about corruption in the country's top schools.每年六月，中国媒体都会报道学生准备高考的努力和担忧。然而今年，各报纸都报道了中国顶级大学的腐败新闻。

One case involves Cai Rongsheng, the former head of admissions at Beijing's highly respected Renmin University.Mr.Cai reportedly took money in exchange for approving admissions for students who did not take the Gaokao.其中一起案件涉及了北京备受推崇的人民大学的前招生负责人蔡荣生。据报道蔡先生接受金钱贿赂批准录取未参加高考的学生。

Yang Rui studies Chinese education policy at the University of Hong Kong.He says the Gaokao offered millions of people chances for a better life.And Mr.Yang says it changed the country after the late 1970s.杨瑞在香港大学研究中国教育政策。他说，高考给数百万人提供了一个过上更美好生活的机会，杨先生还表示，高考在上世纪70年代末之后改变了中国。

“But increasingly, academics and government policymakers realized Gaokao is not really fair, Many people are in much better positions than those in ruralschools.Also, scores themselves only cannot tell the whole picture,” Yang said.他说，“但是，越来越多学者和政府决策者意识到高考并不是真正的公平。许多城市学生比农村学生享有优势，比如他们的学校教育。此外单靠成绩并不能代表学生的全部水平。”

Some universities in China are permitted to chose up to five percent of their first year students for reasons other than schoolwork.These could include sports, interest groups or community volunteer work.中国的一些大学允许通过成绩以外的因素录取高达5%的大一新生。这些因素包括体育、兴趣小组和社区志愿者工作。

The policy is designed to help candidates whose abilities would not identifiable from Gaokao test scores.Schools also have had more freedom to chose candidates from rural areas.该政策的目的是帮助那些无法通过高考成绩定义其能力的考生。学校在录取农村地区考生上也有更大自由。

Xiong Bingqi is vice president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, a Non-Governmental Group.He proposes other ways to get different kinds of students.He says students should be nominated by their high schools, then take examinations at the university.Finally, a person would be offered a place at the school through performance records.熊丙奇是21世纪教育研究院的副院长，这是一家非政府性组织。他建议通过其它方式录取各种类型的学生。他说，学生们应当经由他们的高中提名，然后参加大学的考试。最终，这名考生将通过其表现被该校录取。

Mr.Xiong says instead administrators with power to decide who enters college have hijacked the system.熊先生表示，然而有权决定录取谁的行政官员操纵了这一体系。

Officials have banned trading university entry for money or better treatment.Earlier this year, the Ministry of Education demanded a more open and better supervised admission system.有关方面已经禁止以大学入学作为条件换取金钱或更好的待遇。今年早些时候，教育部要求招生制度更加开放，监督更严格。

美国劳动之歌

Most of the world observes Labor Day on May 1.Butthe United States has its workers holiday on the firstMonday in September.Steve Ember and BarbaraKlein have a few songs from the history of theAmerican labor movement.Labor songs are traditionally stories of struggle andpride, of timeless demands for respect and the hopefor a better life.Sometimes they represent old songs with new words.One example is “We Shall Not Be Moved.”It uses the music and many of the same words of an old religious song.Here is folksinger Pete Seeger with “We Shall Not Be Moved.” Many classic American labor songs came from workers in the coal mines of the South.Mineowners bitterly opposed unions.In some cases, there was open war between labor activistsand coal mine operators.Once, in Harlan County, Kentucky, company police searched for union leaders.They went to oneman's home but could not find him there.So they waited outside for several days.The coal miner's wife, Florence Reece, remained inside with her children.She wrote this song, “Which Side Are You On?” Again, here is Pete Seeger.Probably the most famous labor songwriter in America was Joe Hill.He was born in Sweden andcame to the United States in the early 1900s.He worked as an unskilled laborer.Joe Hill joined the Industrial Workers of the World, known as the Wobblies.More than any otherunion, they used music in their campaigns, urging members to “sing and fight.” One of Joe Hill's best-known songs is “Casey Jones.” It uses the music from a song about atrain engineer.In the old song, Casey Jones is a hero.He bravely keeps his train running in verydifficult conditions.In Joe Hill's version, Casey Jones is no hero.His train is unsafe.Yet he stays on the job afterother workers have called a strike against the railroad company.Pete Seeger and the Song Swappers sing “Casey Jones(The Union Scab).” Another American labor song is called “Bread and Roses.” That term was connected with thewomen's labor movement.The song was based on a poem called “Bread and Roses” by James Oppenheim.The poem waspublished in The American Magazine in December of 1911.The following month there was a famous strike by textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts.They won higher pay and better working conditions.Oppenheim's poem gained more attention.At that time, conditions in factories were already a national issue.In 1911, a fire at a clothingfactory in New York had taken the lives of 146 people.The victims were mostly immigrantwomen.Here is Pat Humphries with “Bread and Roses.” Union activists know that labor songs can unite and help people feel strong.This can be trueeven when the music has nothing to do with unions.“De Colores” is a popular Spanish folksong.It talks about fields in the spring, little birds,rainbows and the great loves of many colors.This song is popular with supporters of the United Farm Workers union.We listen as BaldemarVelasquez leads the band Aguila Negra in “De Colores.” For many years, folksinger Joe Glazer was a union activist with a guitar.He was also a laborhistorian.Labor's Troubadour was the name of a book he about his life.He believed inorganized labor and preserving the musical history of the American labor movement.JoeGlazer died in 2006 at the age of 88.Here is Joe Glazer with “Solidarity Forever,” written by Ralph Chaplin.From VOA Learning English, this is the Agriculture Report.这里是美国之音慢速英语农业报道。

Today, we take you to a small banana plantation near Kampala.The trees are healthy and green, but Andrew Kiggundu does not like what he sees.今天我们带你到坎帕拉附近的一个小香蕉园。这些健康的香蕉树一片翠绿，但安德鲁·基冈度（Andrew Kiggundu）对他看到的却不满意。

“The disease on the leaves you see right now is not the wilt, it is a different disease called black sigatoka.It is just killing off the leaves and causing significant yield loss.This is a big problem, although of course not as much as the wilt, because the wilt just destroys the whole plant.” 他说，“你现在看到的叶子所患的病不是香蕉枯萎病，它是一种不同的疾病，被称为香蕉叶斑病。它正在杀死香蕉叶子，并造成重大的产量损失。这是一个大问题，虽然其危害尚不及香蕉枯萎病，因为香蕉枯萎病会破坏整颗植株。”

Andrew Kiggundu works with the National Agricultural Research Organization, also known as NARO.The Ugandan government agency is developing genetically engineer bananas.The new plants are meant to resist black sigatoka and banana bacterial wilt, which has been destroying a large amounts of the country's banana crop.基冈度就职于乌干达国家农业研究组织（简称NARO）。这家乌干达政府机构正在开发转基因香蕉。这种新作物是为了对抗香蕉叶斑病和香蕉细菌性枯萎病，这两种病害已经摧毁了乌干达大量的香蕉作物。Uganda is the world's top consumer of bananas.NARO Research Director Wilberforce Tushemereirwe says this is why it is so important to produce healthy plants.乌干达是全球最大的香蕉消费国。乌干达国家农业研究组织的研究总监Wilberforce Tushemereirwe表示，这就是生产健康作物如此重要的原因。

“The disease keeps on moving around wiping out garden after garden, so you will go to areas where you find they have changed from banana to annual crops.That has already introduced food insecurity, because they are not used to handling annual crops.” 他说，“这种疾病四处肆掠，挨个消灭香蕉园，所以你在一些地方会发现，它们已经从香蕉变成了一年生作物。这已经引发了粮食不安全，因为它们不是用来对付一年生作物。”

The central African nation already permits testing of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.Lawmakers are considering a bill that would permit the development and distribution of such organisms through out the country.But some activists say genetically modified organisms would be dangerous to human health and the environment.乌干达这种中非国家已经允许转基因生物实验。立法者正在筹备一项允许这类生物在全国开发和扩散的议案。但一些活动人士表示，转基因生物对人类和环境有害。

Giregon Olupot is a soil biophysicist at Makerere University in Kampala.Giregon Olupot是坎帕拉市马凯雷雷大学的一位土壤生物物理学家。

“There are a range of options that risk to be wiped [out], just by this technology.With bananas, tissue culture has worked well to engineer healthy plants.You then take these plants to a clean garden and maintain field hygiene.Why are we not giving emphasis to that technology?” 他说，“通过这项技术可以消除很多类的风险。在香蕉方面，植物组织培养在改造健康植株基因方面效果很好。然后我们把这些植株移入无病害的香蕉园里并保持田间卫生。为什么我们不重视这种技术？”

Most genetically modified seeds are patented, this means farmers must purchase them after each planting.Mr Olupot says, this might be possible for profitable farmers, but smaller farmers depend on their own seeds.In his opinion, selling genetically modified seeds to small farmers could trap them.大多数转基因种子具有专利，这意味着农民们每次播种后都要再次购买种子。Olupot先生说，这对效益好的农民来说没问题，但规模较小的农民都依赖自己的种子。在他看来，销售转基因种子会使小农户陷入困境。

“If you are to go commercial, it has to be on a large scale.Now the farmers we are talking about, on average, have 0.4 hectares of land.It is simply not suitable for our farmers.” 他说，“如果你要商业化就必须大规模。我们现在谈论的这些农民平均只有0.4公顷土地，所以它根本不适合我们这些农民。”

A public institution is developing Uganda's genetically modified bananas.NARO says no patent laws will restrict their use.But Mr Olupot says this would probably not be true with genetically modified crops introduced to Uganda in future.Mr Kiggundu says opponents of genetically modified plans have been strong in their criticisms.He says many farmers are now afraid of GMOs.一家公共机构正在开发乌干达的转基因香蕉。乌干达国家农业研究组织表示，没有专利法会限制它们的使用。但Olupot表示，这对未来引入到乌干达的转基因作物来说是不可能的。基冈度先生说，转基因计划反对者的批评声一直很大。

The Ugandan parliament is expected to pass the Biotechnology and Biosafety Bill before the end of the year.乌干达议会有望在今年年底之前通过生物技术和生物安全法案。篇三：文本(精选版)voa 美国之音 慢速英语

China Wages Diplomatic Offensive With Arab Countries At a regular briefing Wednesday, spokesman Hong Lei gave details of phone conversations Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi has had in recent days with the head of the Arab League, as well as counterparts from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Algeria.He says Syria was the main topic of discussion.Hong says the Chinese foreign minister urged the international community to create favorable conditions to provide humanitarian assistance to Syria.He adds that Beijing values the role of the Arab League in resolving the crisis in Syria and is, in his words, “ready to work with Arab countries” to push for a peaceful settlement of the crisis as soon as possible.The spokesman says China is deeply worried about the escalating violence in Syria.He had strong and direct words for the Syrian government, which many in the international community blame for killing its own people.He says the Chinese government calls on all parties in Syria to stop the violence, singling out the Syrian government specifically.He adds that Beijing calls on the Syrian government to heed what he described as the “reasonable appeals of the Syrian people for reform.” The Chinese comments come as members of the United Nations Security Council are drafting a resolution on Syria that focuses on seeking an end to the fighting so that humanitarian aid can get to besieged towns.China and Russia vetoed a U.N.resolution on February 4 that would have backed an Arab League proposal for the Syrian president to step down.At the time, Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby said Russia and China have lost diplomatic credit in the Arab world because of their vetoes.China defended its decision by saying it was aimed at avoiding more casualties in Syria, even though the death toll there has continued to mount.The Chinese spokesman did not say Wednesday whether his government would support any new U.N.resolutions, but only that any action the world body takes must abide by its charter.Popular Culture Inspires Top US Baby Names here's a better-than-random chance that babies born in the United States last year, 2010, were named “Bella” or “Edward.” Those were among the 10 most popular girls' and boys' names, respectively, and it was more than a coincidence that they are also leading characters in the wildly popular “Twilight” series of young adult novels and films about vampires.The choice of baby names, you see, can be somewhat faddish.Certain ones, such as “Tiffany” and “Justin,” which were popular in the 1980s, become the rage, then fall from fashion.The other day, a VOA staffer met a little boy, age two, named “Aiden.” Our colleague had never heard that name.Turns out, Aiden is the most popular boy baby's name this year, as reported by the website.For what it's worth, Aiden was a leading character on the highly-rated TV show “Sex and the City.” It certainly does appear that pop culture influences Americans' choice of baby names.Isabella, the third-most-popular girl's name, for instance, may be an adaptation of Bella, the vampire lover in the “Twilight” movies.“Jacob” is in the top 10, too.That's the good-looking shape-shifter who phases into a wolf in the same series.Curiously, “Sophia” ranks first among this year's girl-baby names, and “Ava” is fifth.Sophia Loren and Ava Gardner were glamorous actresses on the silver screen half a century ago.But, as another colleague, who follows romance novels, told us, “Old-fashioned names, especially for girls, are big.” We should point out that the top-10 list of boy and girl names refers almost exclusively to white, non-Hispanic babies.You won't find many “Aidens” or “Masons” on the African-American and Latino baby-name lists.Chinese Symbols Prove Popular in US From the moment Spaniardsfirst dropped anchor and encountered the natives whom the Spanish called “Indians” because they thought they had arrived in Indiawords such as “unicorn” and “chicken.” Not one of the characters has anything to do with tigers, or even cats.Indeed, the characters on this sign do mean “blue bamboo,” but they're upside down.Other Hanzi, delicately tattooed onto a woman's back, translate as “crazy diarrhea.” Surely this wasn't what she ordered from the tattoo artist.So, America is a multicultural melting pot.But reading the signs doesn't always tell you who you're melting with.“If people would stop making fools of themselves, my site would dry up,” Tang says.

第五篇：VOA英语演讲稿

英语演讲稿范文 ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.today my topic is “youth”.i hope you will like it, and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.first i want to ask you some questions:

1、do you know what is youth?

2、how do you master your youth? youth youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind;it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease.this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.nobody grows old merely by a number of years.we grow old by deserting our ideals.years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.worry, fear, self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.whether 60 of 16, there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young.when the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.thank you!青春

青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。

青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。

岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力??? 一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖；即使你年方 20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。谢谢！saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,dont let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.篇二：经典英文演讲稿 i believe in our future honorable judges, fellow students: good afternoon!recently, ther is a heated debate in our society.the college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places.but will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country? independently.we help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades;and we neglect the need for character cultivation.but again, the cynics are wrong.we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth.last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives.we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country.i believe in all my fellow classmates.though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish.i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities.we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place.i believe in our future.我对未来充满信心

尊敬的评委，各位同学： 下午好！

最近，社会上有一场很激烈的争论。大学生是一种稀有特权的享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我们能面对挑战而无所畏惧吗？我们能够改善他人的生活吗？我们能够承担建设祖国未来的重任吗？

怀疑论者说大学生是被宠坏的一代，一丁点挫折都受不了。但是他们错了，我所看到的大学生正在努力的学习独立生活。我们互相帮助打扫卫生，一起上街砍价购物，一起参加兼职工作来赚零花钱。

怀疑论者说我们除了成绩什么都不关心，从而忽略了性格的培养。但是，他们又错了。我们彼此关心，我们向往自由，我们珍惜公正，我们追求真理。上个星期，很多我的同学去验血，为了给患血癌的孩子贡献自己的力量。

作为大学生，我们是处在人生分水岭的青年。我们都面临一个重要的选择：怀疑人生还是相信自己，每一种都会给我们的人生带来重大的影响，甚至影响我们祖国的未来。我相信我们的同学们，虽然我们依然缺乏经验，甚至有些志气，但是我相信我们有勇气和自信来面对生活的挑战并承担我们的责任。我们正努力准备接受新的任务，用我们所学习的知识将世界变得更美好。我对我们的未来充满信心。

十七、王晨，20岁，安徽

change the ingredients of your life so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges.and hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.改变生活的味道

这是一杯白开水，平淡无味，对吧？可是加上点糖呢，他尝起来会有甜味；如果加的是苏打水，味道就会变苦。人生同样如此——个中滋味在于我们的选择。善待他人，你会拥有朋友；但如果充满恶意，则会多个敌人。将爱赋予一堆红砖，你会拥有一个家；用仇恨来浇铸这堆红砖，就会铸成一座集中营。因此亲爱的朋友们，不要抱怨人生乏味，世间无望。不喜欢生活的味道，那就换一换生活的调料吧！三年前，我重达100多公斤，这给我带来了很多尴尬和挫折：体育课老是不及格，总被女孩们嘲笑，更不敢当众发表意见。幸而由于祖母的鼓励，我不在消极人生，而是充满自信。她曾经说过：“孩子，如果体形无法改变，为什么不把它看做自己独特的风格呢？” 我开始这样来审视人生，通过改变生活的视角，我信心大增地去改变我的人生，很快就发现一个崭新的世界。

朋友们，将信念，希望，爱意和忍性溶入生命，你就会找到自信，克服缺点，迎接人生新的挑战。最后我的演讲包括在内，希望你会看到一场精彩的演讲比赛。大学生英语演讲稿16

十六、杨颖，21岁，海南 kipling said:“east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!”

but now, a century later, they have met.i love beijing and hennan opera because it always reminds me of who i am.but i am also a fan of pop music, especially english songs.so i when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other.when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture.then there are certain things some people may not like.to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it.to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge.before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures.at present, they may run in different courses.but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow!thank you!让我们共同感受东西方的融合吉卜林说过:东方是东方，西方是西方，二者永不相聚。但是一个世纪后的今天，东西方相汇了!它们相聚在经济领域，它们相聚在教育领域，它们相聚在艺术的殿堂。有人争论说:这种融合需要我们在东方和西方之间做出选择，但我却坚信最美好的未来在于东方和西方创造性的融合。我们可以将西方的思想，观念和技术变为我们自己所用的东西。

我喜爱京剧和河南豫剧，因为它们经常使我想起自己是谁。但我也热衷于流行音乐，特别是英文歌曲。于是我将东方的旋律和西方的语言结合到了一起，它叫做西方版的河南豫剧。

当两种文化相结合的时候，也许一方的文化中的某些东西不适应另一方的传统文化。当此种情况出现时，我们需要试着理解并接受另一种文化中的风俗习惯。然而，也许有些东西你并不喜欢，对于此，我可以说，如果你不喜欢它，请试着去容忍它。当两种文化融合的时候，试着去容忍你个人不喜欢的东西是一种美德。在我们面前有两条河流，东方文化和西方文化。现在，它们也许正朝着不同的方向流去。但是最终它们将汇合到人类文化的海洋里。

就在此时此刻，我看见东方和西方的人肩并肩的站在一起，高唱奥林匹克主题曲:我们手拉手，心靠着心，共同创造美好的明天!大学生英语演讲稿英语风采大赛半决赛选手自备演讲赏析(大学成人组)

十五、黄扬，21，福建 farewell, indifference who was the most well-known figure in china last month? it’s ma jiajue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates.many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education.in my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society.it’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other.it’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all.it’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.some people may say ‘what the students with psychological problems like ma jiajue need is not care but psychotherapy.” however, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them.every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.what can we do to prevent the tragedy of ma jiajue from happening again? some people may say ‘let’s open more psychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘let’s donate more money for the poor students.’ but i’ll say “my fellow student, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!” 走出冷漠

谁是中国上个月最有名的人物? 这当然要数马加爵了——这个杀害了四名同学的大学生。很多人将他的犯罪归结于他的贫穷和不全面的教育。但我觉得他的犯罪还跟他周围同学的冷漠有很大关系。

冷漠是流行于当今校园及整个社会中的一种可怕的疾病。有的同学在一起学习了4年却从未说过话，有的同学几天没去上课却无人知晓，还有的同学有了严重的心理问题却得不到关心。篇三：怎样写英语发言稿2 怎样写英语发言稿

教学目标：通过本节课使学生能够掌握写英语发言稿的写作方法，并根据所给短 文的信息，综合运用所学的知识，完成写作任务

教学重点：英语发言稿的技巧及写作方法指导训练

教学难点：写作方法指导训练

教学过程

一、引言

纵观近年来的高考英语书面表达题，有关发言稿的考查在2004—2009年部分省市的高考书面表达题都出现过，例如：09年安徽 天津、08年江苏 陕西、07年江苏 江西 06年福建、05年安徽、04年天津等地的书面表达题，都是以发言稿的命题形式出现的。由此可见，发言稿目前也是高考书面表达最流行的题目之一，所以今天这堂课的任务是学习怎样写发言稿。

（见屏幕）

二.发言稿的写作技巧与方法指导 发言稿是生活中一种常见的应用文体，是参加会议的人为了在会议上表达自己的意见、看法、进行思想汇报或工作情况汇报而事先准备好的文稿。英文开幕词、闭幕词、欢迎词、欢送词、告别词和演讲稿是正式社交场合最常见的发言稿。

（1）格式

发言稿一般由称呼语、正文和结束语三部分组成。发言稿的开头和结尾一般有固定的格式。

例如：（见屏幕）dear friends，i am very glad to introduce muself to you„„that’s all.thank you.dear friends，today i am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of„„that’s all.thank you for listening。

如果面对的是熟悉的听众，开头和结尾也可以活泼些、灵活些

例如:（见屏幕）

good morning /good afternoon,everyone„...that’s all.thank you.good evening!ladies and gentlemen„„that’s all.thank you.hi,everyone, it is so nice to see all of you here„„that’s all.thank you for listening（至于开幕词、闭幕词、欢迎词、欢送词、告别词的开头与结尾我们以后再讲）

（2）正文（见屏幕）

发言稿正文常分为三部分：

（1）第一部分：开门见山地提出本人要谈的问题及对问题的看法

（2）第二部分：说明理由。常用到的连接成分有：first of all,secondly,finally等等。

（3）第三部分：照应开头，总结全文。可以对全文作简明扼要的总结，也可以谈自己的感想、看法或期望。常用到的句式有：in short„,in a word,i think,i expect等

因为高考试题在命题形式上侧重于考查发言稿正文的写法。所以写正文时要注意以下三点：

（1）观点要鲜明。对问题持有什看法，要明确表态，不要含糊其辞。要中心明确，重

点突出，但不必面面俱到。

（2）条理要清晰。一篇发言稿要谈几方面的问题，每一方面有那些要点要进行阐述，都要安排得有条有理，让人听起来容易抓住重点。

（3）适当增加关联词和细节。发言稿开头于结尾已经给出。那么在命题形式上侧重于 考查发言稿正文的写法，所以我们在根据要点组织正文内容时，可以适当增加关

联词和细节，以使短文连贯、完整。

（4）语言要简洁明快，发言时因为要直接面对听众，所以发言稿的特定形式决定了其

语言的口语性强，因此应少用复杂句，多用简单句。话说的要准确、易懂，最好

运用大众语言。所以我们在组织句子时要注意“三多一少”即简单句式多，祈使

句多、情态动词多，修饰性词语少。但文中的句型也要善于变化，不要过于单一。

三、现场演练

现在我们按照所讲的发言稿的格式和要求，以下面提供的短文为例，来实践一下怎么样写好发言稿

例题：假如你是李华，将要到英国伦敦参加“international english learning camp”。参加的学生必须在会上交流自己的英语学习体会。请你根据以下提示写一篇英文发言稿。1.学习方法：多记有用句型，多阅读英文报刊 2.学习收获：了解异国文化，能与外国人直接交流 3.学习困难：经常遗忘所学的词汇

注意：1.发言稿的开头已经给出，不计入总词数 2.可以根据内容要点适当发挥，但不要逐条翻译 3.词数100-120 good morning, everyone!in today’s world being able to master a foreign language will be helpful in our life.__________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ thank you!（1）遵循以前学过的练习写作必走的三步骤

六、作文

内容要点：篇四：英语演讲稿 listening and speaking course the effects of ad.on people’s life good morning, ladies and gentlemen!i’m very glad to stand here and give you a speech.at first, i’ll show you a great advertisement.it’s based on an advertisement of a conditioner.the swedish childhood cancer foundation used the same technique and made a new version to show the reality we faced everyday.while the train stopped in the station, the hair of the model will be blown up.it’s very creative and attracted publics’ attention successfully.however, the model’s hair was blown away.a child who suffered from cancer appeared on the screen.the first time i watched this advertisement, i was touched deeply.obviously, this advertisement has received a good result, more and more people started to pay attention to these fortuneless children and helped them.this is the power of public service ads.that’s all, thank you.篇五：基础英语演讲稿汇总 第一篇：youth（青春）ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!i?m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.today my topic is “youth”.i hope you will like it, and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.first i want to ask you some questions:

1、do you know what is youth?

2、how do you master your youth? youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind;it is not rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions: it is the freshness;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease.this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.nobody grows old merely by a number of years.we grow old by deserting our ideals.years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.worry, fear, self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.whether 60 of 16, there is in every human being?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young.when the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.thank you!青春

青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。

青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和

信念，则垂垂老也。

岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力„„ 一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖；即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。

谢谢！

第二篇：my dream（我的梦想）at last, i want to say to everybody” hold fast to your dreams, no matter how big or small they are.the path to dreams may not be smooth（平滑）and wide, even some sacrifices（牺牲）are needed.第三篇： haste makes waste（欲速则不达）good morning, dear teacher and fellow students.it’s my great honor to stand here and share a happy morning with you.today my topic is “haste makes waste”.there is an old saying,” haste makes waste.” it is the experience of our ancestors;however, it is correct in many cases even today.如此）.if you only emphasize on speed but ignore the quality of your work, your will get the opposite effect.suppose you are preparing for your final examination.there are a lot of exercises to do and many notes to memorize.but you have not enough time to do this, so it makes you feel worried.therefore, you have to read and write continuously（连续不断地）, without sleep and relaxation.the result by doing this is that your brain is less and less efficient, your process is slower and on the contrary, if you do your preparations with a calculated（适合的）plan and carry out take part in the exams confidently with good preparations.so, whatever you do, please remember the saying----haste makes waste.if you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you?ll benefit a lot form it.that’s all.thank you!第四篇：so much to learn good morning, dear teachers and fellow students.it’s my great honor to stand here and share a happy morning with you.today my topic is “so much to learn.” hello!my dear friends!do you like reading books? i guess all of you will say yes.am i right? thanks to books, we have got a lot of knowledge.on the other hand, tv is another way of getting knowledge.i still remember: last year, i watched an exciting speech on tv.it was given by american president osama;i could feel his great charm.i admire him.yeah, at that time i made a decision: i try to learn english well and some day i can have a talk with him.however, it’s a pity that my english is not so perfect.what can i do? how can i do it? ah, so much to learn.don’t lose heart!just do it!i say to myself aloud.if you set up your mind to learn it, you will get much knowledge.i am sure you will achieve your goal.ok!there is so much knowledge for us to learn to.we should do our best to learn it.we must try our best to learn it as much as possible.because knowledge can make us be learned and wise;because knowledge can make our country develop very fast;because knowledge can make our world be in harmony.ok!let’s keep trying!at last, i would like to say, we shouldn’t waste time, life is limited while knowledge is that’s all.thank you for you attention.第五篇：《阿甘正传》读后感 the lines touching me most in the book is ?my momma always said life was like a box of chocolates.you never know what you are goanna got.? yes, life is full of uncertainty & puzzle.for someone, they wish to have the power to forecast future.because they can be well prepare for the opportunities and challenges and even know the lucky numbers of lottery beforehand.but for me, i don?t want to have such ?ability? at all.life is a mystery and everyone has his own way.i enjoy the surprise of receiving gift from my classmates on my birthday and running into an old friend on the street in another city, etc.there are so many amazing incidents in my life which can?t be happen if i have the power to forecast the future.i believe i can make a better life for those i love though my own effort.have a little faith for your life.let?s enjoy our life everyday with dignity, honesty, braveness and love just like forrest gump!整部电影最让我感触最深的一句话就是“生命就像一盒巧克力，结果往往出乎你的意料。”

是的，生活充满了不确定性和难题。对一些人来说，他们希望自己拥有预测未来的能力。因为他们可以为迎接机遇和挑战做足充分准备，甚至可以提前知道彩票的幸运数字。但对于我来说，我实在不希望拥有这样的“能力”。生活本就神秘莫测，每个人都有他自己的道路。生日时收到同学送来的礼物或是在另外一个城市遇到老朋友时的惊喜都让我十分地享受。在我的生活中有许多令人惊喜的小插曲，假如我有预测未来的能力，它们就都不会发生了。

对阿甘来说，他出生时有智力障碍和腿部的肌肉问题，他从没想到过自己竟然能够成为橄榄球运动员、战争英雄和百万富翁。他通过自己的努力奋斗和不屈不挠赢得了尊严和别人的尊重。

我相信我能通过自己的努力让我爱的人们过上更好的生活。
