信任的力量

同学们：

下午好！

今天我所要演讲的内容仍然围绕着人类的一个亘古不变的话题进行，那就是———友情。千百年来，世人对于“朋友”的阐释有千种万种，但我一直坚决地认为，对这一定义的最好解释只需两个字，那就是信任。前不久，读了一篇久远而真实的故事，更坚定了我这一看法。

那是在公元前四世纪的意大利，有一个名叫皮斯阿司的年轻人因触犯了暴君而被判处绞刑。皮斯阿司是个孝子，临死之前，他希望能与远在百里之外的母亲见最后一面。国王感其诚孝，决定让他回家与母亲相见，但条件是必须找到一个人来代替他。这是一个看似简单其实近乎不可能实现的条件。要知道，有谁肯冒着被杀头的危险来替别人坐牢？但世界上真的有这样的人，他就是皮斯阿司的朋友达蒙。于是，皮斯阿司如愿以偿回家与母亲诀别。

日子如水，眼看刑期在即，可皮斯阿司却丝毫没有回来的迹象。人们议论纷纷，都说达蒙上了皮斯阿司的当。

行刑日是个雨天，当达蒙被押赴刑场之时，围观的人都在嘲笑他，但刑车上的达蒙却面无惧色。绞索已经挂在达蒙的脖子上，就在这千钧一发之际，淋漓的风雨中一人飞奔而来，高呼着：“等等，我来了！”是皮斯阿司回来了。

这是人世间最最感人的一幕。达蒙为顾全朋友的孝心置自身安危于度外，这种精神可歌可泣；皮斯阿司为履行诺言不惜以生命为代价，这种勇气世间又有几人能具备？同学们，面对死刑，达蒙之所以坦然，就在于他相信皮斯阿司不是那种言而无信、出卖朋友的小人，这就是信任的力量。

这是一个真实的震撼人的灵魂的故事，尤其对于尊崇自我中心化的现代人而言，它更是发人深省。友情是人间的宝藏，是人生的坐标，是保持心灵之花永不枯萎的甘露。真正的朋友会在你消沉时以微笑激励你奋起直追，会在你得意时以忠言提醒你保持清醒。可是，在当今现实利益具有无上威力的社会里，友情却变得脆弱而吝啬，数年的好友可能一夜间反目成仇，友情也可能成为交易的筹码……

其实，友情不会泯灭，只是人们不懂得珍惜。著名作家毕淑敏在一篇文章中提到：“友情：这棵树上只结一个果子，叫做信任。”友谊是最简朴同时也是最奢侈的营养，需要用信任和真情去灌溉；它仿佛温室中的花朵，只有在悉心地呵护和滋养下才会愈加娇艳和灿烂。在什么都是越现代越好的年代里，友谊，我们还应保持那古老的准则———信任。只要你信任以待，友情就会永远地捍卫在你的周围，成为你终生的财富。

信任是一种弥足珍贵的感情，没有人能够用金钱买得到，也没有人可用利诱和武力得到。它来自一个人的灵魂深处，仿佛流淌的清泉，涤除世俗的污垢，让心灵充满纯洁和自信；它可以拯救灵魂，扫除盘踞于人内心深处的屏障，使你获得加倍的友谊。

人生一世，消失的是岁月，收获的是情谊。长留史册的，不是锱铢必较的利益，而是肝胆相照的情分。让我们抛弃猜疑和嫉恨，以信任之情和朋友坦诚相待。相信我们的眼睛将云翳顿散，相信我们的世界会有更多的欢声笑语。

第二篇：伊丽莎白演讲稿中英文对照

Mr.President, Prince Philip and I are delighted to welcome you and Madame Peng to Buckingham Palace this evening.主席先生，菲利普亲王和我本人非常高兴地欢迎您和您的夫人彭丽媛女士今晚来做客白金汉宫。

Your visit to the United Kingdom marks a milestone in this unprecedented year of co-operation and friendship between the United Kingdom and China, as we celebrate the ties between our two countries and prepare to take them to ambitious new heights.您对英国的访问，对于今年这一英中两国合作和友谊的前所未有的年份来说，是一个重要的里程碑。我们要庆祝两国之间的友好关系，并要将其推向雄心勃勃的新高度。

The United Kingdom and China have a warm and longstanding friendship.Prince Philip and I recall with great fondness our visit to China almost thirty years ago, where we were privileged to experience your country’s rich history and culture, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Warriors: all unforgettable memories of China’s ancient civilisation.英国和中国之间有着温暖而长久的友谊。我和菲利普亲王经常会重温将近三十年前我们那次访问中国的美好回忆。我们很荣幸能够体验贵国的丰富历史和文化，长城、故宫和兵马俑，中国的这些古代文明都给我们留下了难忘的回忆。

Yet it was China’s desire to shape a new future which captivated us the most.We were struck by the energy and enthusiasm with which China’s leaders were forging ahead with a new and ambitious future for the Chinese people;and I well recall our discussions with the late paramount leader Mr.Deng Xiaoping, who was foremost among these leaders in setting a clear direction for China with his policy of reform.It was also Mr.Deng’s visionary concept of One Country Two Systems which opened the way for the return of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty under the Sino-British Joint Declaration.中国塑造崭新未来的愿望，留给我们的印象最为深刻。中国领导人为带领中国人民走向一个雄心勃勃的新未来所展现的能量和热情，对我们产生了极大的震动。我清楚地记得我与已故最高领导人邓小平先生的会晤，邓先生高瞻远瞩地为中国的改革政策指明了方向。也正是由于邓小平先生一国两制的远见卓识，为在《中英联合声明》下的香港回归中国主权开辟了道路。

Almost thirty years later, Mr Deng’s vision has borne remarkable fruit.Rapid economic growth and development has transformed the lives of people across China and lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty: a huge and historic achievement with far reaching positive effects on people’s lives.将近三十年后，邓先生的愿景已取得了丰硕的成果。中国快速的经济增长和发展，改变了全体中国人民的生活，使数亿人民摆脱了贫困。这是一个巨大的历史性成就，对人们的生活产生了深远的积极影响。

I was delighted that my grandson Prince William was able to witness these changes during his first visit to China earlier this year.Like myself and Prince Philip, he visited not only your great cities of Beijing and Shanghai but also the beautiful province of Yunnan, and saw at first-hand the strong connections which bind our two countries together, be they in culture, education or business.我很高兴的是，今年早些时候，我的孙儿——威廉王子——他在第一次访问中国期间能够目睹这些变化。与我和菲利普亲王一样，他不仅访问了中国的伟大城市北京和上海，而且还去了美丽的云南，亲身体验了促进我们两国关系紧密发展的诸多领域，无论是文化、教育，还是商业领域。

Mr.President, the relationship between the United Kingdom and China is now truly a global partnership.We have much reason to celebrate the dynamic, growing economic relationship between our countries as well as our success in working together to address pressing international challenges.主席先生，英国和中国之间的关系现在是一个真正的全球伙伴关系。我们有充分的理由来庆祝两国之间的活跃和不断增长的经济关系，以及我们在共同应对紧迫的国际性挑战方面所取得的成功。

We have, this year, marked the seventieth anniversary of the foundation of the United Nations.Today the world faces challenges which call for collaboration between the nations: conflict and terrorism;poverty and ill-health;conservation and climate change.As permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, Britain and China are stewards of the rules-based international system, and we have a responsibility to cooperate on these issues which have a direct bearing on the security and prosperity of all our peoples.今年是联合国成立七十周年。今天世界所面临的挑战需要各国之间的协作来加以应对：冲突和恐怖主义、贫困和健康不良、资源保护和气候变化。作为联合国安全理事会的常任理事国，英国和中国都是以规则为基础的国际体系的维护者，我们有责任就这些直接关系到两国人民的安全和繁荣的问题携手合作。

This global partnership is supported by an expanding network of links between the people of our two countries, which are essential in building mutual understanding and friendship, while we welcome the increasing numbers of Chinese tourists, students and business visitors to the United Kingdom.这一全球伙伴关系是建立在两国人民之间不断扩大的联系网络基础上的，这种联系对于构建相互理解和友谊至关重要。我们欢迎越来越多的中国游客、学生和商业访问者前来英国。

Mr.President, your visit is a defining moment in this very special year for our bilateral relationship.I am confident that it will serve to highlight the sincerity and warmth of our friendship and to strengthen relations between our countries for many years to come.主席先生，对于英中两国双边关系非常特殊的一年来说，您的访问是一个决定性的时刻。我相信，这将有助于突显两国之间的真诚和温馨的友谊，加强未来两国之间的长久友好关系。

Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you to rise and drink a toast to the President and Madame Peng and to the people of China.女士们，先生们，我请大家起立，共同举杯，为习近平主席和夫人彭丽媛女士的健康、为中国人民的健康与幸福，干杯。

第三篇：演讲稿(浅谈大学生活)——中英文对照

浅谈大学生活

大家早上好！很荣幸站在这里与大家分享大学生活。“人生就像饺子，岁月是皮，经历是馅。酸甜苦辣皆为滋味，毅力和信心正是饺子皮上的褶皱，人生中难免被狠狠挤一下，被开水煮一下，被人咬一下，倘若没有经历，硬装成熟，总会有露馅的时候。”这一段话，不是我的原创，是崔永元评论人生的一段话。

有人说：大学一年级往往“不知道自己不知道”，大学二年级就进了一步“知道自己不知道”，大学三年级时“不知道自己知道”，大学四年级“知道自己知道”。大学生活总是那么的多姿多彩的，但也需要我们去把握和深入体会。有人说：平凡的大学生有着相同的平凡，而不平凡的大学却有着各自的辉煌。但是你可以选择平凡，不可以选择平庸；相信谁都想不平凡。那么，怎样才能使自己的大学生活充实有意义，怎样主宰自己的大学生活呢？我随便谈谈个人的几点观点。

首先，要确立目标和计划，古人云“志当存高远”，毛泽东也说“风物长宜放眼量”。没有目标便没有前进的努力方向，也毫无动力可言。计划目标，又可分为近期和远期。如近期我要看完多少本书，这一个月我要学懂什么知识，假期有什么实践报告打算等等。远期的如：争取毕业前拿到自考文凭，人际关系应该多大，实践能力应达到怎样的程度等。而且，目标的实现又是一个个小目标实现的连贯过程。如一天记5个单词，到考前便可记到很多。但是,这需要坚持和毅力。

第二，要放远眼光，是指不被暂时的情绪和心情所拖所沉溺，要成就大事业，就必须大事抓紧，小事放松。如，不要被上网玩游戏等所带来的满足感所一直沉溺，孰不知，暂时满足的背后的更大的空虚。相信大家都有这种体会。

第三，是树立就业危机感，我们总是在怪自己的控能力不强，没有上进的动力。谁不知是自己的意识上没有清醒？有人会说：“爱情是学习的动力”或“家境贫

穷的学习的动力”等等。其实，从直接意义上来说，就业危机感才是也应该是我们上进的动力。我自己常想自己毕业以后究竟能干什么？又多从报纸杂志上看到目前就业形势的异常严峻，所以心里很是害怕。有人说目前找工作：要么有关系，要么有文凭，要么有才能（技能）。而我们呢？文凭，只是本科；关系，相信大部份同学都没有什么关系。所以，我们唯一的出路便是要有才能。而这，就要问问自己：你学到了什么，你掌握了什么？现在的问题不是我们不知道学什么，而是我们想不想学。

第四，是要理论知识与实践能力相结合，大学是一个锻炼自己能力的舞台。以前是重知识而轻能力，但现在恰好相反，由于社会上影响，文凭要求的适当下降，所以现在的很多大学生纷纷跑出外面找兼职。如果他们是在不影响学习的前提下去的，那没话说，反而应该提倡。但他们有些不是，为了一份端菜的服务生工作，不惜请假旷课，晚自习也不上。我身边就有这样的现象。现在，出现了这样一种错位思潮，就是在职的机关企业工作人员，纷纷利用业余时间“充电”，而在校的大学生们却纷纷跑到社会兼职，我觉的应该纠正这种思潮。

此外，就是要多看书和报纸杂志，了解最新社会动态，知晓国家大事，了解第一时间的时政经济新闻等。是的，这不仅对我们以后找工作有帮助，而且对我们的生活也有帮助。

好了，我今天的演讲也到此为止了。最后，送上一句话： “路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。”送给我自己，也与大家共勉！

On the college life

Good morning, everyone!I'm honored to stand here to share with college life.“Life is like dumplings, years of skin, the experience of stuffing.Ups and downs

all the taste, perseverance and confidence is the dumpling skin folds, life is bound to be severely squeezed, is open to boil, bite, if not experienced,hard-loaded mature, there is always revealed the secret of time.”This passage is not my original cui commented on the life period of Some people say: the first year in college often do not know they do not know, “the sophomore into the step,” I know they do not know “,” do not know know.“Junior, senior at the University” know “.University life is always so colorful, but we need to hold and in-depth experience.Some say: that the ordinary college students have the same ordinary, rather than ordinary universities have their own brilliant.But you can choose ordinary, can not choose the mediocre;believe everyone does not want ordinary.So, how to make their college life fulfilling meaningful and how to master their own college life? I casually talk about some perspective of the individual.First, to establish goals and plans, an ancient saying goes, ”to keep the lofty“, Mao Zedong said that ”always advisable to wait the amount.Target forwarddirection, no power at all.Program objectives can be divided into short and long term.Such as the recent reading many books this month, I want to learn what knowledge, leave what practice report is intended to, and so on.Forward, such as: the fight for graduation to get the Self diploma, interpersonal

relationships should be much practical ability to achieve what extent.Moreover, the goal is a small target to achieve the continuity of the process.Such as a day to remember the five words to the exam can be credited to many.Howeverthis need to adhere to and perseverance.To put far vision refers to the temporary emotions and mood drag are addicted to big business success, it must be big pay close attention to minor relaxation.For example, do not be the satisfaction that comes of playing online games has been addicted to, everyone knows, temporarily to meet the greater emptiness behind.I believe we have this experience.Third, establish a sense of the employment crisis, we always blame their own ability to control, there is no upward mobility power.I do not know who is no sober on their own consciousness? Some people will say: “Love is the

motivation to learn,” or “the family was poor motivation to learn and so on.In fact, from the direct sense, employment, a sense of crisis is also to be the

driving force of our progress.I often want to own graduation, what can you do? The addition of newspapers and magazines to see the current employment situation is extremely severe, so I was very afraid.Some people say that looking for work: either the relationship or diploma, or talent(skills).And we? Diploma, undergraduate only;relationship, I believe the majority of students do not have anything to do with.Therefore, our only way out is to have talent.This, we must ask ourselves: What have you learned, what you have mastered? The question now is not that we do not know what to learn, but we want to learn.Fourth, the combination of theoretical knowledge and practical ability, the University is to stage an exercise in their own ability.Before the weight of

knowledge and light capabilities, but the contrary, appropriate decline of influence in society, diploma requirements, so many college students now have ran out to find part-time.If they are down does not affect the learning of the premise, that none, but should be promoted.But they do not, for a serve later the waiter not hesitate to leave absenteeism, going to night classes nor To me there is such a phenomenon.Now, such a misplaced thought, is

working bodies corporate staff have spare time to ”recharge“, but have went to the social part-time college students in the school, I think this trend of thought should be corrected.In addition to reading books, newspapers and magazines, the latest social dynamics, aware of national affairs, and understand the first time current

affairs news.Yes, this is not only our future to find a job help, but on our lives.Well, my speech today stop here.Finally, send the word: ”the road is long and far Come, Wu Jiang from top to bottom." To give my own, but also to encourage one another!

北极光的传说（The legend of the aurora borealis）

极光（aurora）来源于拉丁文伊欧斯一词。传说伊欧斯是希腊神话中“黎明”的化身，是希腊神泰坦的女儿，是太阳神和月亮女神的妹妹。长久以来，人们都各自发展出自己的极光传说，爱斯基摩人认为“极光，是鬼神引导死者灵魂去天堂的火炬。原住民则视“极光为神灵现身，深信快速移动的极光会发出神灵在空中踏步的声音，将取走人的灵魂，留下厄运”。比如在芬兰语中，北极光则被称为“revontulet”，直译过来就是狐狸之火。古时的芬兰人相信，因为一只狐狸在白雪覆盖的山坡奔跑时，尾巴扫起晶莹闪烁的雪花一路伸展到天空中，从而形成了北极光。

• Aurora comes from the Latin Word——Ios.•Legend has it that Ios is the embodiment of the 'dawn' in Greek mythology, the daughter of the Greek god Titan, the sister of Phoebus and moon goddess.• The aurora borealis has been a mystery since the first time humans looked up at the sky and saw the aurora borealis.For a long time, people have developed their own auroral legend.The eskimos believe that the aurora is the torch of spirits that lead the dead to heaven.The aborigines saw the aurora as a deities, convinced that the rapid movement of the auroras would send out the spirits of the gods in the air, and would take away the soul, leaving bad luck.In Finnish, for example, the aurora borealisis called “revontulet”, and the literal translation is the fire of the fox.Ancient finns believed that because a fox was running on a snow-covered hillside, the tail swept the glittering snowflakes all the way up to the sky, creating the aurora borealis.I prefer to believe the aurora borealis is a symbol of happiness.极光形成过程（Aurora formation process）北极光（aurora borealis），是出现于星球北极的高磁纬地区上空的一种绚丽多彩的发光现象，由来自地球磁层或太阳的高能带电粒子流（太阳风）使高层大气分子或原子激发（或电离）而产生。北极附近的阿拉斯加（欧若拉）、北加拿大是观赏北极光的最佳地点。The aurora borealis is a gorgeous glowing phenomenon over a high magnetic latitude region in the Arctic of the planet, generated by high-energy charged particle flows(solar wind)from the Earth's magnetosphere or the sun that excite(or ionization)the upper atmosphere molecule or atom.Alaska and Northern Canada, near the North Pole, are the best places to watch the aurora borealis.极光的形态（the auroral shapes and colors）

极光是一种大自然天文奇观，它没有固定的型态、颜色也不尽相同，颜色以绿、白、黄、蓝居多，偶尔也会呈现艳丽的红紫色，曼妙多姿又神秘难测。

一般来说，极光的型态可分为弧状极光、带状极光、幕状极光、放射状极光等四种。在北部出现的称为北极光，在南部出现的则称为南极光。

Aurora is a natural astronomical wonders, it has no fixed form, color is not the same, color to green, white, yellow, blue, and occasionally will appear gorgeous red and purple, graceful and mysterious and unpredictable.In general, the auroral form can be divided into arc-like Aurora, ribbon Aurora, episodic Aurora, radial Aurora and other four kinds.The Northern Lights, which appear in the north, are called the Aurora Borealis in the south.极光的发生只有在严寒的秋冬夜晚，高纬度的地区，才有机会目睹，因为漆黑寒冷的夜晚北极光最易出现，所以最佳时刻则是11月至次年2月晚上10点到凌晨2点，有些时候可持续1小时左右。

Auroras occur only in the frigid winter and autumn evenings, where the high latitudes have the opportunity to witness, because the aurora borealis is most likely to appear in the dark, cold night, so the best time is from November to the following February to 2 o'clock in the morning, and sometimes lasts about 1 hours.最常出没在北磁纬度67°附近的环状带区域内。北半球以阿拉斯加、北加拿大、西伯利亚、格陵兰冰岛南端与挪威北海岸为主。值得一提的是：北极附近的阿拉斯加、北加拿大是观赏极光的最佳地点，阿拉斯加的费尔班(Fairbanks)更赢得“北极光首都”的美称，以其寒冷的冬季与夏季的长时间光照而闻名，一年之中有超过200天的极光现象，人们去那里是为欣赏它那壮观景象并目睹每晚都会出现的极光奇观。如果有机会到阿拉斯加，一定要看看那迷人的北极光，捕捉那千变万化的超级“电光秀”，将彻底地爱上北极光！中国最北的漠河，也可以观测到北极光。

Most commonly found in the annular zone near the North magnetic latitude 67°.The northern hemisphere is dominated by Alaska, northern Canada, Siberia, the southern tip of Greenland Iceland and the northern coast of Norway.It is worth mentioning: Alaska and northern Canada are the best places to watch the aurora borealis, and Alaska's Ferban(Fairbanks)wins the name of the northern Aurora Capital, known for its cold winters and long summer light, and over 200 days of auroral phenomenon in the year, People go there to admire its spectacular spectacle and to witness the spectacle of the aurora that will appear every night.If there is a chance to Alaska, be sure to look at that fascinating Arctic light, capture the ever-changing super 'electro-optic show', will completely love the Northern Lights!Northern China's most northerly Mohe can also observe the aurora borealis.

4假如没有来世北京外国语大学北戴河外语培训基地校长宋远利

有没有来世，众说纷纭。无神论者，不相信来世。他们认为从生到死，仅此而已。他们可能在意身后的英名，他们可能留恋后代的亲情，但他们不寄希望于来世。他们也会说善有善报，恶有恶报，但并不相信下辈子报应什么。

在宗教领域、或在一些迷信的人群，来世之说比较盛行。不仅是来世，甚至会认为有千百次的轮回。在那未知而飘渺的世界，有天堂，有地狱，有神族，有仙界，有菩萨、有佛祖。

也许真的相信、也许是为了利用人们的敬畏心里，古代的帝王们总是宣称自己是真龙天子，大臣们则标榜为天上的什么文曲星、武曲星或太白金星转世。星星能转世吗？

许多人烧香、磕头，行善、修德，并不都是为了眼前，而是为了让上天看见自己的真诚，以便下辈子有个好的托生，或者几世之后能修成正果。这些人自然是相信来世的。但我不禁要问：如果没有来世，你们会不会一样行善、修德呢？如果神灵看不见，你们是否也会公正无私呢？如果不是为了解脱他人和服务大众才去修行，如果仅仅是为了自己将来托生好才去行善，是否有些自私呢？比较起来，那些不相信来世而又坚持行善的人，则应该是最真、最诚的大善。因为他们不是为自身，而是为公理。

也许有人会问作者，你相信来世吗？我的回答是：我不知道前生，因而也不敢妄谈后世。但我真的希望能有来世！因为这辈子时间太短，许多事情都是在还没弄明白的时候，就已经匆匆过去了。我有那么多的理想，我有那么多的心愿，我有那么多的奢望，我有那么多的遗憾，我有那么多的牵挂，我有那么多的雄心壮志，如果没有来世，那就一切皆空了。

我不甘心眼前的碌碌无为，我留恋被岁月冲走的本应属于我的亲情，更向往从头再来的完美和成熟。为此，信也好，不信也好，我宁愿有来世。
