Crossing the Sea-第三届英语演讲比赛冠军

第一篇：Crossing the Sea-第三届英语演讲比赛冠军

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech today is “Crossing the Sea”.An Englishpoet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in this 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 cow horn-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 people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today´s society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as example;Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of livingin so many ways that it´s no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald´s 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 nation´s mentality.Just lookaround.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereasnot long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by thegovernment?

How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades agothey would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates intoday´s speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I´m quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today´s China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are alreadyliving under strong influence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find theincorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition fromJapan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals,the essence of which, lay at the very core of

Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finallyfinding 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 asincredible in the past!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and theinformation 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 traditionalvalues.We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems asethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of thewhole human race.To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain aninsight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.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 new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca cola andwatching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefitsthat 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!

初中版low-carbon life

开场白：good morning, my dear teachers and classmates.my name is qin zebang.i’m happy to stand here and i’m honored to give a speech.my topic is protect the environment and live a low-carbon life.正文：

now i want to talk about a beautiful world!i always dream that i could live in a beautiful country.there are many flowers and trees around our city.we could hear the birds singing and see the children dancing.the streets are clear and the air is very fresh!how nice it is!but that is only a dream of mine!the reality is that nearly everyday we could see tra(更多精彩文章请关注好)ffic jam because more and more people are using private cars which polluted the air much.we seldom enjoy the fresh air because we always stay in the air-conditioned rooms..everyone should make ato protect the environment.taking care of our environment is very important.no matter where we live, we can do something around our neighborhood.have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground? have you ever drawn pictures on public walls? have you ever cut down trees? if your answers are “no”, it means that you have already helped protect our environment.it is our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy.you might ask yourself, “have i ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin?

have i ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling? have i ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighborhood?” if your answers are “yes”, it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.moreover, we should also use public transportation as possible as we can.we should also save water and electricity and other resources for next generation.now i want to say: let’s do our best to make our world more beautiful!开场白:早上好，我亲爱的老师和同学。我的名字叫秦泽邦。我很高兴站在这里，我很荣幸能作一次演讲。我的主题是保护环境和低碳生活。正文：现在，我想谈一谈一个美丽的世界！我总是梦想着能在一个美丽的国家。有很多花和我们的城市周围的树。我们可以听到鸟儿歌唱，看到孩子们跳舞。街道是明亮的、空气是非常新鲜！这是多好！但这只是我的一个梦！现实是几乎每天都我们可以看到堵车因为越来越多的人正在使用私家车的多污染空气。我们很少享用新鲜的空气，因为我们始终保持在空调房间里。因此，我认为我们应该采取措施保护我们的环境。每个人都应作出贡献，保护环境。照顾我们，这是环境的非常重要的。无论我们住在哪里，我们可以做些在我们的社区。你有过引发任何垃圾在地上吗？你有在公共的墙壁上涂鸦吗？你曾经砍倒树吗？如果您的答案是“no”，这意味着您已经帮助保护我们的环境。它是我们的责任，以保持我们的环境干净整洁。你可能会问自己，“有摘过一些垃圾和扔进垃圾箱吗？我曾经收集废纸或供循环再用的瓶子吗？我曾经栽了任何树木或内或附近我家附近

的花吗？”如果您回答“是”，这意味着你已经为改善环境的有用的东西。此外，我们还应使用公共交通工具并尽我们所能。我们还应为下一代保存电力、水和其他资源。现在我要说：让我们做最大努力使我们的世界更美丽！

高级版（见见高手！）我们从来没有影像，我们经历过的，其中在非洲热带雨林的深处，树木，花卉，蝴蝶，大猩猩包围的母亲拥抱自己的婴儿。

yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs.diana fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.是的，在我最喜欢的电影之一难忘的场景，呼吁在薄雾大猩猩的基础上，戴安娜弗西夫人，谁在此度过了一生中最卢旺达保护，直到她生命的最后的生态环境有真实的故事。

to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.对我来说，电影，不仅提供了一个难忘的场景，而且也是一个永恒提醒我们，我们不应该在发展我们的生态成本，环境，旅游业行为。

today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.it has bee a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in gdp growth.it has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.but on the other hand, many problems can occurbig notes, small notes or even coins-from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.some of them cannot 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.现在每年有很多地方ecoenvironmental保护组织接受捐赠-大笔记，笔记，甚至小硬币-从家庭主妇，管道工，救护车司机，售货员，教师，儿童和残疾人。其中一些人可没有钱给的钱，但他们这样做。这是谁驾驶的出租车，谁在医院护士，谁从他们所在地区的生态破坏的痛苦。为什么？因为他们的照顾。因为他们仍然希望他们回到大自然。因为他们知道它仍然属于他们。

this kind of feeling that i have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it，it's all ing from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.这种感觉，我有，女士们，先生们，是当它的感觉，喜欢这种气味，而且看来，这一切都从一个场景来记住，一个场景回顾和珍惜。

the other night, as i 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 something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.有一天晚上，我看见月亮徘徊在土地和前被送进了无形的，心里却充满了歌曲。我发现自己轻轻哼唱，而不是音乐，而是别的东西，别的地方，一个地方记住，一个地方不动，一个草地，再没有人似乎除了鹿被。

and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our ing generation.once again, i have e to think of mrs.diana fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.和那些难忘的情景更增强了的感觉，现在需要我们做一些事情，为我们自己和我们的未来一代。再次，我所认为的夫人戴安娜弗西，因为它与她的精神，热情，勇气和强烈的生态环境，我们的感觉是，我们正在进入世界的下一个步骤。

and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our minds, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.不管我们是谁，我们做什么，而且我们去，在我们的脑海，总有一个场景要记住，一个值得努力保护，并争取的场景。thank you very much.the rhythm of life most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.let me tell you what happened.i decided to take part in an international marathon in my hometown last year.being an ambitious person, i hoped to finish it within 5 hours, acpanied by my friend with whom i had trained.the big day finally arrived.“ready...set...bang” and we were off.at first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop.at this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and i thought running a marathon was a piece of cake.then my running mate began to slow down.i urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy.i felt i had partnered with the wrong person;therefore, i sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.a few kilometers later, i began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk.after that i was incapable of moving another step.i was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me.more than once i thought “maybe i should quit.” i started to doubt my ability to finish this race.at this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back.“follow me,” he shouted.he had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same.for the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again.slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace

within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.eventually we acplished our first marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours.i asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? my marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions.like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty.and from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements.it is the interaction of these plementary extremes that produces harmony, as laozi said, extremes meet.since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak.yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.ladies and gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.thank you for listening．

to me march 28th was a lucky day.it was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.winning the “21st century〃ericsson cup” seventh national english speaking petition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to municate offstage in addition to peting onstage.also the petition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.for me, though, the petition is a more personal experience.habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try.in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.i found that, after all, i like municating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.this ability improves with training.yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours.language is a means

to transmit information, not a means to obstruct munication.it should be lucid to be penetrating.in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.will it really help, we are pelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have e with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views? above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.only after these e delivery and non-verbal munication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language petent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood? i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my “appropriately ed speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response”.in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they e to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.some contestants failed to address their questions head on.some were able to, but did not knowswheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.the root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.or they were thinking of what they had prepared.as i said in my speech, “it is vitally important that we young people do

more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our way”.we need to respond honestly.a petition like this draws talented students from all over the country.and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking.since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective munication.and this goes true for all munications, whatever their setting.and the following is the final version of my speech: globalization: opportunities and challenges for china's younger generation thirty years ago, american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time.premier zhou enlai said to him, “your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no munication”.thirty years since, china and america have exchanged many handshakes.the fundamental implication of this exle is that the need to municate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.as we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are

getting together to discuss the issue of bating terrorism.peace and prosperity has bee a mon goal that we are striving for all over the world.underlying this mighty trend of global munication is the echo of e.m.forster's s “only connect!” with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.our culture, politics, society and merce are being sloshedsintosone large melting pot of humanity.in this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place is likely to impact other parts of the globe.we have begun to realize that a world divided cannot endure.china is now actively integratingsintosthe world.our recent entry to the wto is a good exle.for decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order.from a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have e a long way.but what does the way ahead look like? in some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization.are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.globalization, they argue, should be about a mon interest in every other nation's economic health.we are reminded by karl marx that capital goes beyond national

means to obstruct munication.it should be lucid to be penetrating.in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.will it really help, we are pelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have e with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views? above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.only after these e delivery and non-verbal munication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language petent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend do more serious thinking...to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our way“.we need to respond honestly.a petition like this draws talented students from all over the country.and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking.since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective munication.and this goes true for all munications, whatever their setting.and the following is the final version of my speech: globalization: opportunities and challenges for china's younger generation thirty years ago, american president richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time.premier zhou enlai said to him, ”your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no munication“.thirty years since, china and america have exchanged many handshakes.the fundamental implication of this exle is that the need to municate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.as we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are

borders and eludes control from any other entity.this has bee a reality.multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favourable policy.they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.for china, still more challenges exist.how are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? how to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? how to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? and how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? globalization entails questions that concern us all.like many young people my age in china, i want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international munity.but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough.it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues.there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges ing our way.this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight.winning the ”21st century〃ericsson cup“ seventh national english speaking petition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to municate offstage in addition to peting onstage.also the petition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.for me, though, the petition is a more personal experience.habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities.encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try.in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.i found that, after all, i like municating with other people;that exchanging views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually;that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded;and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important.to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind.this ability improves with training.yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process.those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours.language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct munication.it should be lucid to be penetrating.in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.will it really help, we are pelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have e with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views? above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech.and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.only after these e delivery and non-verbal munication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language petent enough to express your ideas exactly the way you intend them to be understood? i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my ”appropriately ed speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response“.in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they e to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.some contestants failed to address their questions head on.some were able to, but did not knowswheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence.the root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions.or they were thinking of what they had prepared.as i said in my speech, ”it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking …… to take them [issues like globalization] on and

yes, that's 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(永恒的)reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.it has bee a lifestyle for some people, and has

turned out to be the driving force in gdp growth.it has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.but on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore.deforestation to heat lodges is devastating nepal.oil spills from tourist boats are polluting antarctica.tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to u2 on walkman and wear nike and reeboks.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 XX the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's 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.this kind of feeling that i have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all ing from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.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 all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our ing generation.once again, i have e to think of mrs.dian fossey be-cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.英语演讲比赛演讲稿

【演讲稿01】if i were a boy again 假如我又回到了童年

if i were a boy again, i would practice perseverance（毅力）more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient.if we want light, we must conquer darkness.perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results.“there are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, i would school myself into a habit of attention;i would let nothing e between me and the subject in hand.i would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of attention bees part of our life, if we begin early enough.i often hear grown-up people say “i could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, although i wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.if i were to live my life over again, i would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.i would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion.it takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately;but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble.it only needs early cultivation to bee a power.if i were a boy again, i would look on the cheerful side.life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, i smile back upon you;but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that e in contact with it.“who shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out from love.”

finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, i would, if i were a boy again, i would still try harder to make others happy.【译文】假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干，我们要光明，就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比。俗话说：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有两种——鹰和蜗牛。”

假如我又回到了童年，我就要养成专心致志的习惯；有事在手，就决不让任何东西让我分心。我要牢记：优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯，它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说：“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书，但往往做不到。”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。

假如我现在能重新开始我的生命，我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法，并且在一切可能的场合，增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西，在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事，只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。

假如我又回到了童年，我就要事事乐观。生活犹如一面镜子：你朝它笑，它也朝你笑；如果你双眉紧锁，向它投以怀疑的目光，它也

将还以你同样的目光看待你。

内心的欢乐不仅温暖了欢乐者自己的心，也温暖了所有与之接触者的心。“谁拒爱于门外，也必将被爱拒诸门外。”

最后，假如我又回到了童年，我不会力图为自己谋幸福，好像这就是人生唯一的目的；与之相反，我要更努力为他人谋幸福。

if we would ever acplish anything in life, let us not forget that we must persevere.if we would learn our lessons in school, we must be diligent and not give up whenever we e to anything difficult.we shall find many of our lessons very hard, but let us consider that the harder they are the better they will do to us if we will persevere and learn them thoroughly.but there are some among us who are ready to give up when they e to a hard exle in mathematics, and say, ”i can't do this.“ they never will if they feel so.”i can't“ never does anything worthwhile;but ”i'll try“ acplishes wonders.let us remember that we shall meet with difficulties all through life.they are in the pathway of everyone.if we will only try and keep trying, we shall be sure to conquer and overe every difficulty we meet with.if we have a hard lesson today, let us strive to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.and if we learn to master hard lessons in school, it will prepare us to overe the hard things that we shall meet in life, when our school days are over.【译文】

不要忘记，在人生的道路上，要想做成什么事，我们必须持之以恒。如果我们在学校里想要学好功课，就必须得勤奋，任何时候遇到难题都不要放弃。我们会发现，许多功课非常难，但是我们得记住，那些功课越难，将来对我们的益处就越大--只要我们能持之以恒，完

全弄懂。

不过，我们当中有一些人，一遇到数学难题就轻易放弃，说：”这道题我做不出来。“ 如果他们这么认为，那他们永远也做不出来。说”我不能“的人永远干不成任何有价值的事，而说”我会努力“的人则可以创造奇迹。

让我们记住，在我们一生中，总要遇到各种难题。这些难题就横亘在每一个人的人生道路上。

只要我们努力，再努力，就一定会征服所遇到的每一个困难。假如我们今天功课上遇到一个难题，那就让我们竭力解决它，然后我们就可以做好准备应付明天更大的难题。假如我们在学校里就学会驾驭功课上的难题，将来离开学校后，我们就可以准备好克服我们在人生道路上遇到的各种难题。

and i even dream about what the life will be when we are on planets other than our earth.甚至我还梦想着在地球外的其它星球上生活将会是怎样的。that is why i’m so interested in the following scientific report recently.所以最近我对下面这篇科学报道非常感兴趣。二.演讲部分：

在我们享受的时候懂得珍惜 cherish what we are enjoying it is a report about the new planet which holds possibility for life.发现了一颗有生命可能性的星球的报告。

it shows that european astronomers have discovered a new planet, they name it gliese 581 c.说欧洲天文学家们发现了一颗新的星球，代号为“gliese 581c”。it is about 20.5 light years from our earth.they estimated the planet's average temperature at between 0 and 40 degrees centigrade.it is orbiting the red dwarf star, gliese 581.它距地球约20.5光年。他们估计它的平均温度约在0℃～40℃之间。它围绕着红矮星gliese 581运行。

most important of all, it’s an earth-like planet.there might be mountin, sea and liquid water.最重要的是，这颗星球和地球非常相似，它可能有山峦，有海洋，还有液态水。

so the astronomers believe that it is potentially habitable.所以科学家们相信它能支持生命的存在。

however, gliese 581 c might be ”tidally locked" to it’s sun-the dwarf star the way our moon is to the earth.然而，就像月球一样，它只会公转，不会自转。

it means that it must always show its same face to its sun, and that while one side would be too fiercely hot to support life, the other side would be too cold.这就意味着它面对红矮星的一面会太热不适合生命体而背对红矮星的一面则会很寒冷。

this report makes me to realize that how valuable our earth is.这使我认识到我们地球有多么珍贵！everyday, we can see sunrise and sunset.我们每天都可以看到日出日落。

the day and night keeps on exchanging.it’s not too hot in the daytime while not to cold at night.一天早晚有变化，昼夜不停地交换使白天不过分热，夜晚不过分冷。

everyday, i go to school cheerfully in the morning and skip along at the way home as the sun set.清爽的早晨，我可以背着小书包高高兴兴地去上学。夕阳西下，我又蹦又跳地回到家。

we could experience changes through the four seasons of one year.一年四季有变化。

spring is the season sowing seeds.it is pregnant with life and green.春天是播种的季节，充满了生机和绿色。

in the summer, colorful swimming suits frolick in the water happily.夏天五顔六色的游泳衣在水里欢快地嬉戏。

autumn is the harvest season , the paddy fields and trees are covered with golden color.秋天是丰收的季节，金黄铺满了稻田洒满了枝头。

in the winter，we can have snow battle, playing to our hearts' content in the world of silvery white.冬天我们打着雪仗，尽情地在银白色的世界里玩耍。how fortunate we are because we can live on the earth!能生活在地球上,我们是多么地幸运啊。

we should cherish it, instead of polluting it, spoiling it or even destroying it.我们要珍惜它，千万别污染它，别糟践它，别破坏它！if one day, it is really angry and stop rotation, that will have be a disaster for us human being.如果有那么一天，它真的生了气停止了自转，那将是我们整个人类的巨大灾难。

so, let us protect our earth with our love, making it better and more harmonious.所以，让我们大家用自己的爱来好好保护宇宙中这颗唯一的地球

吧，使它更美好更合谐。

三．才艺表演

ladies and gentlemen, now let me show you a story about the monkey and the moon.先生们女士们，现在我给大家表演一个关于猴子与月亮的故事。猴子捞月的故事：

one day, a little monkey is playing by the well.一天，有只小猴子在井边玩儿。he looks in the well and shouts : 它往井里一瞧，高喊道：

“oh!my god!the moon has fallen into the well!”“噢！我的天！月亮掉到井里头啦！” an older monkeys runs over, takes a look, and says, 一只大猴子跑来一看，说，“goodness me!the moon is really in the water!” “糟啦！月亮掉在井里头啦！” and the oldest monkey es over.老猴子也跑过来。

he is very surprised as well and cries out: 他也非常惊奇，喊道： “the moon is in the well.” “糟了，月亮掉在井里头了！” a group of monkeys run over to the well.

一群猴子跑到井边来，they look at the moon in the well and shout: 他们看到井里的月亮，喊道：

“the moon did fall into the well!e on!let’s get it out!” “月亮掉在井里头啦！快来！让我们把它捞起来！” then, the oldest monkey hangs on the tree up side down ,with his feet on the branch.然后，老猴子倒挂在大树上，and he pulls the next monkey’s feet with his hands.拉住大猴子的脚，all the other monkeys follow his suit, 其他的猴子一个个跟着，and they join each other one by one down to the moon in the well.它们一只连着一只直到井里。

just before they reach the moon, the oldest monkey raises his head and happens to see the moon in the sky, 正好他们摸到月亮的时候，老猴子抬头发现月亮挂在天上呢 he yells excitedly “don’t be so foolish!the moon is still in the sky!”

它兴奋地大叫：“别蠢了！月亮还好好地挂在天上呢！” this is the end of the story.do you like it? 故事到这里就结束了。你们喜欢吗？四．尾声

our every sensory nerve.so concerning that much sentiment music can express, i believe it is music that has gathered different parts of the world together, spanning both time and space gaps.furthermore, people nowadays don’t just use music simply for regulating the atmosphere or something like that.in psychology especially psychophysiology, music has been explored quite a lot for its effects on human’s brain, either for treatment or training skills.to sum up, i don’t think it’s improper to exaggerate a bit that life without music is just like a fish living without water.indeed, with respect to all the colorful feelings music brings as well as the instrumental influence that music exerts on us, music, is the that has changed the world.

第三篇：第三届21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛冠军梁励敏

思维的游戏——第三届21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛冠军梁励敏

来源：为成功而演讲作者：梁励敏日期: 2010-08-

31第三届21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛冠军梁励敏

可能是由于我对英语学习一直怀着巨大的热情，同时成绩也不错的缘故吧，从中学起我就成了各种英语比赛的常客，尤其在大学阶段，我有幸两次参加全国性的英语赛事。如今，当时比赛中扣人心弦的种种情形已渐渐被时间冲淡，只在偶然间会被重新记起。然而备战的过程却给我留下了许多值得回味的东西，它在潜移默化中影响甚至是改变着我的生活。

北外—青春的课堂

如果有人问我，大学时代感受最深、收获最大的是什么？我会毫不犹豫的说，是有幸得到诸多良师的指点。他们赋予我的，不但是知识上的熏陶，更是把一种人文主义的精神长久的植入我的脑海。这些感受，许多来自课堂，也有许多来自数次为参加全国比赛而进行的集训。

杨宇光老师是我两次比赛的指导老师，1997年辩论赛时他就是我们辩论队的主教练。印象中他永远的治学严谨，永远的绅士风度，永远说用词考究的British English，有着英国式的幽默。尽管当时比赛的辩题并不是特别深刻的学术话题，但他依然要求我们深入破题，在底下做充分的research。为了给我们拓宽思路，他屡次召集系里的热心老师，从老教授到年轻教员，与我们一同讨论。用他的话来说，只有充分剖析，写出来的东西才能有分量——这也是北外的学术传统的体现。为了指导我们，他放弃了许多休息的时间。对我们的presentation，他逐字逐句进行修改；几乎每天他都亲自安排我们的训练并细心点评我们发挥中的优缺点。

到了第二年演讲赛的时候，他又成为我的指导老师。当时我的演讲稿写得并不顺。有的学校在这种大赛时采取老师替学生捉刀的方法，准备演讲部分的写作就由老师代劳。但杨老师始终认为，这一环节也是对学生极好的锻炼。记得那一个讲稿，我重写了两三遍，每一遍都对选题有了更深的理解，写得也更好一些。比赛时间迫近了，他把学院参加第一届“21世纪杯”并获奖的师兄徐翌成找来，说，“Let’s put our heads together, and make a final effort at it.”那天晚上，我们改稿改到深夜，终于拿出了一个令人满意的version，稿子比我自己的更大气，更层层深入，也更有文采。这篇文章为我的比赛增色不少，而经过赛前的充分准备，我在回答问题部分和即兴演讲部分也发挥得很好，正式宣布结果前，老师走过来微笑着拍拍我的肩，说“I think we made it this time.”And we did.在我们比赛的智囊团中，还有许多老师给我留下了深刻印象。杨立民老师就是其中的一位。他是一位充满智慧，学识渊博，又带一点cynical的教授。年逾花甲的他，常常还穿着牛仔裤出现在校园里，见了我们总是乐呵呵的，玩笑不断，常常能出惊人之语。记得准备辩

论的时候，他把辩论精辟的归结为“an exchange of ignorance” — 因为辩论往往使双方囿于自己一方的观点而不能心平气和的聆听对方的论证。到演讲比赛时，他又拿选题—摘自莎翁剧本的一句话“All the world is a stage”—借题发挥。他说，“All the world is a stage.Men and women are actors.There are comedies and tragedies.And the speech contest is a farce.”暗喻演讲比赛很难避免的showcase的因素，令人捧腹不已。这就是他的风格——在漫不经心的评说中透出耐人寻味的哲理。他虽然如此轻描淡写，但在每次brain storming session上，却又能智光四射的给我们提供许多思想的火花。对他的厚积薄发，我们时常感到由衷的折服。

演讲，辩论赛的备战，因其能够得到学院的最强的师资阵容的点拨，而令所有过来人受益匪浅。记得1995年复旦大学夺得华语国际大专辩论赛冠军后出版的《狮城舌战》一书中，选手们把由多位资深教授给他们准备的系列讲座称为“浓缩的精神大餐”，把思辨的训练称为“把神经绷到极细的线”的生活。而我们当时训练的规模虽小，却也能让我们深深体会到此中的滋味，这实为人生的幸事。

有人说，人们可以忘记年年岁岁，却无法忘记片刻与瞬间，正是这些片刻与瞬间，让短暂成为永恒。正是与老师朝夕相处的点点滴滴，让我领悟到他们的治学和做人之道。我们深谙，比赛的胜负其实并不是最重要的，它只是我们锻炼自身素质的一种途径，而更值得回味的，是过程中的所得，是领会那种踏踏实实的做学问的精神。

这对我来说是一笔永久的精神财富。

语言的锤炼和思维的游戏

备战比赛的过程本身对于我是非常rewarding的经历。

演讲稿，辩论词的写作是沉淀思想、锤炼语言的好机会。我记得当年“21世纪杯”的演讲题是“East and West, Can We Live in Two Cultures”，要把这样大的一个题目在四分钟之内说清楚，说精彩实非易事。写作的过程是一个painstaking process, 我从构思到定稿大概花了三周多的时间，而且几易其稿。而辩论赛中的presentation，更是要求写得逻辑缜密，丝丝入扣，兼具文采。我们常常要在短时间内同时就一个辩题写正反两方的辩词，这种写作的训练，在平时是很少见的。

口头实战训练则无疑是强化口语的最佳途径。在讲台上或在辩场上，我们需要拥有一个清醒而敏捷的头脑，并习惯用英语思维。有人说口才好是天生的，这也许有几分道理，但我的经验告诉我，后天的训练也不可小觑。通过每天的强化训练，我们渐渐习惯于“think while we speak”，语言也变得越来越流利, 甚至能够在即兴的辩论中不时冒出精彩之语。现在想来，集训的那段时间，我的英语口语水平，写作能力和口才可以说是达到了学生时代的一个高峰。

比赛给我语言上的帮助可能还在其次，更重要的是它是一种思维的游戏。即兴演讲和辩论赛对于选手心智的磨练都是非常taxing的。它们都要求我们就某一个controversial issue在短时间的思考后take sides, 然后在脑子里迅速罗列问题正反两方的major arguments并抓住自己支持的一方进行有条不紊、清楚有力的阐述。

不过，演讲因为缺乏与人针锋相对的交锋，还仅仅是一个人的思维的“直线式”的表达。相比之下，辩论则是在双方剑拔弩张的紧张气氛中对于参加者的语言和思想的更为严峻的考验，可以说是口语交流中的最高境界。一个势均力敌的选题，给双方都有很大的辩论空间，辩手运用严密的逻辑论证和各种辩论技巧，可以形成很精彩的对话。即便看似uneven的选题中处于劣势的一方，也常常可以打破惯性思维，从另一个角度或常识的相反面去思考，从中找到合理而有说服力的论证，“山穷水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村”。我觉得这种充分激发思维的活力，从不同角度来思考问题的方式，对习惯了一言堂，习惯去寻找一个标准答案的中国学生而言，更值得提倡。当然，由于辩论双方都必须坚持己见，观点有时难免偏颇，但不论怎样，我觉得从纯粹的intellectual exercise来看，辩论还是不可多得的训练方法。

国外许多知名大学都有speech club和debating club。而记得我作为“21世纪杯”演讲赛的获胜者参加英国English Speaking Union的workshop的时候，也亲眼目睹许多外国朋友年纪小小就成为出色而老练的演讲者、辩手，不由感叹西方良好oral tradition对年轻人的熏陶。相比之下，我国的教育在这一块就欠缺许多了。正因为这样，当年比赛时就有老师感慨，不应只有参赛的一小部分同学得益于这一类的口语和思维训练，也不应只为比赛而比赛，而应当将这种培训机制化、经常化，使更多的同学感受此中的妙趣，得到锻炼。推广这一类的社团，从小处讲，可以培养个人的口才和能力，从大处讲，有助于推动民主空气的形成。

学会挑战自我任何一个比赛，都不仅是实力的比拼，也是心理素质的较量。中国不像西方那样有很好的oral tradition, 能够在大庭广众之下对自己的观点侃侃而谈，这对许多在传统教育模式下成长起来的擅长考试而讷于口语表达的中国学生来说是一个不小的挑战。同时，比赛不仅是数十名选手展示个人风采的舞台，也是各高校之间暗自较量的地方，选手往往还肩负着学校荣誉的担子。因此，如何很好的对待自身和外界的压力，发挥自己的水平，是除了实力之外演讲者要面对的另一大问题。

1998年我参加演讲比赛时是顶着挺大的压力的。这不仅由于比赛的规模和影响力之大，也由于此前一年，我代表学校参加“外研杯”英语辩论赛与冠军失之交臂。因此再次参赛时我就有一种患得患失的心理，生怕这一次不能取得更好的成绩，“无颜面对江东父老”。

压力对每个选手来说都是存在的，如何排解它还要看自己。海明威有一句名言“重压下的轻松”(grace under pressure)，是我很欣赏的，但要做到并不容易。我记得在备战的过程中有一部名为“Listen to Me”的美国电影给了我很大的激励。影片讲述的是一支名不见经传的大学辩论队克服重重困难，最终挫败来自名校的对手，折桂全美大学辩论赛的故事。从他们的刻苦训练和慷慨陈词中，我似乎感受到一种敢于挑战自身极限的勇气。可能是在这种心态下，我做到了把胜负暂且置之度外，经过充分的准备，最终夺冠。

生活不总是赛场，但这种顶住压力、自我超越的精神却能够指导我们的生活。研究生毕业后，我考入中央电视台英语频道成为一名记者。有的朋友对我的选择颇感意外。因为我性格比较内向，似乎与风风火火的记者形象不够“match”。但对我来说，这恰是一个welcoming challenge.两年多的记者生涯使我对生活有了新的感悟。如果说学生时代赋予你一个宽松的环境可以悠闲的做一点学问，你习惯了与老师同学，书本里的先哲和自己脑海中的假想人物对话，那么记者的生活则完全不同——整天跟时间赛跑，与形形色色的人交流，然后要求自己在极有限的时间内写稿，编片，让新闻在第一时间播出去。适逢在外地报道，或是针对一个突发事件的报道，那么对记者的要求就更为苛刻。任何状况都可能随时出现— 联系采访困难重重；写稿的时间特别紧张；做出镜的时候，由于时间和场景所限，可能必须一遍过关，还不能是平铺直叙；在传送片子的时候随时都可能出现意外。相比之下，当年演讲赛面对的那种压力，可能就不算什么了。压力虽然很大，但每每在完成各种看似的mission impossible的时候，我的成就感也是巨大的。记得在齐齐哈尔采访日军遗留化学武器造成重大伤亡的新闻的时候，我遇到了上述所有的困难。不过还是咬牙一个个克服了，我在一周的时间内发回了系列报道，有的还是独家采访。其中有一条新闻后来获得全国新闻彩虹奖二等奖。

六年过去了，北外的学生生活已成为我青春的背影，演讲比赛的诸多细节随时间的流转成为逝去的记忆。在这六年里我的生活也发生了诸多变化，而当年那些为比赛全身心投入过，期待过，哭过和笑过的日子则成为大学生活美好记忆的装点。我想，在学生生活里有过这样一段经历，是弥足珍贵的，而这种人生体验还将在无形中影响我今后的人生旅程。

第四篇：全国英语演讲比赛冠军演讲稿

第八届“21世纪·爱立信杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军-上海外国语大

学顾秋蓓演讲稿

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical 1)therapist(临床医学家)who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2)census(调查)about

mountain 3)gorillas(大猩猩).These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of 4)poaching(偷猎)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 we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5)cuddled(拥抱)their babies。

Yes, that's 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(永恒的)reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go.It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has

turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth.It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore.Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal.Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica.Tribal people are

forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.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 world's

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.This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.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 all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Dian Fossey be-cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our

ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.
