Ecotourism

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.Today I would like to begin with a story.There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas.These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world;this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo.She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled 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 her 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 timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.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 appalling 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 eroding 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 ecoenvironmen.Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations are receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.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, ladies1

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 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 seem to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.Once again, I have come to think of Mrs.Dian Fossey because 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.Thanks, contestant number18.The topic for your impromptu speech is: Which is more important for you, knowledge from books or personal experience?

I remember, on my very first day of my beloved university, one of my professors said to me, “From now on, you'll be on a journey between who you think you are and who you can be.The key is to allow yourself to continue the journey in the ocean of the books.”

And I do learn a lot from books, I know the geometry of Euclid, logic of Aristotle, fable of Aesop known to children around the world.Well, no offense to all those great authors of the books, but during my three years at my university, I do realize that personal experience through practice means more to me.As we are in this global information age where both economic growth and individual opportunity are based on ideas, a commitment to providing all human beings the golden opportunity to develop themselves is so vital, not only to the people here, but all around.As we are in this transformational age where communications and commerce are global, investments are mobile, technology is almost magical, and the ambition for a better life is now universal, and I think this is why we are here today.We want to earn our personal experience through practicing our oral English, sharing our opinions of tourism and ecology with all the judges and audience here.And I think we are so lucky to be alive at this moment of the history.Never before have our nation enjoyed so much prosperity and so much social progress with so little internal crises.And never before have our young people had so much great opportunity to practice ourselves and, therefore, have a profound obligation to build a more perfect nation of our ancestor's dream.And I think our government had provided us young people with the tools and condition to build the future of our dreams.Even if we know some rules, some regulations, or experiences from our books, we still simply cannot graft it onto today's busier, more impersonal,complicated world.Instead our challenges is to arrive at a consensus values and common vision of what we can do today individually and collectively to build a strong family and strong community, and above all, make the world a better place for us to live.Contestant number 18, in your speech, you talked about ecotourism.Could you explain to us the difference between ordinary tourism and e-tourism, or ecotourists?

And I think the key issue is the differences between our awareness.For example, if you want to go to a place to have a trip, enjoy your trip.And I think before you get on board, get on the bus, you can have the awareness that “I'm not a polluter, but an environment keeper.”

We're not go to all those scenic spots to destroy all those beautiful scenes but we to appreciate the Mother Nature giving us so much things.Contestant number 18, now that information technology is becoming more and more accessible to people in China, do you think books will become less and less important?

Well, I think, maybe, I don't think that all those technologies can replace the importance of books.We're in our modern village where so many new industries--IT industries, tourism industries--crop up every day and this brave new world seem a little bit dehumanizing and inhospitable to a lot of people.The world can no longer be defined as a place on a map or list or people in organizations, but I think the true value, the essence of our village remains the same.It is the network of values relationship that support our lives and we can learn those things from our books, because books is the very first beginning stage of what we learn.I'd like to ask you a question about your prepared speech, please.You mention that the UN has declared the year 2002, I think it was, “The year of Ecotourism.” Do you think that such gestures really serve a purpose?

And I think, one of my teachers said to me, when I prepared my prepared speech, and he tells me that if we pay more attention to something like environmental protection or ecotourism, it is more, it is better for us to bear in mind we should learn something in our awareness about how to pay more respect to our environment, not to talk about something orally but to bear something in our hearts.Follow our hearts, our environment can be better.下午好，女士们先生们。今天我想先从一个故事开始。从前有一个理疗学家长途跋涉从美国到非洲去做一个关于山里大猩猩的数量调查。

这些大猩猩主要吸引来自世界各地的游客。这使它们在严重的偷猎威胁下被关进动物园。

出于好奇心她去了那里，然而，她所目睹的更加坚定了为争取这些美丽生物献出一生的决心。她亲眼目睹了一个场景，一个带我们到以前决对想不到的地方的场景，在非洲雨林的最深处，被森林、花朵和蝴蝶包围着，猩猩妈妈抱着她们的孩子。

是的，那是在我最喜欢电影之一里一个难忘的场景，名为雾中的猩猩，关于Dian Fossey太太真实的故事，Dian Fossey 太太大半身都在卢旺达保护生态环境直到去逝。

对我来说，这部电影不仅仅是一个难忘的场景更是担当永恒提醒我们不应该以生态环境为代价发展旅游业的任务。

如今，我们生活在一个繁荣的世界但是也被如此多的新问题所困扰。一方面，旅游业，作为一个在21世纪最有前途的产业。给人们提供很好的机会去看所有可以看到的去任何能去的地方。这已经成为了一些人的生活方式。并且已经成为GDP增长的驱动力。它魔术般的将落后的城镇带入繁荣的仙境。但另一方面，会导致许多问题的发生自然场景不再自然了。

以滥伐森林（得到的木材）来为小屋供暖尼正在毁灭着泊尔。油船里泄漏的石油正在污染着南极洲。部落里的人们放弃他们自己的音乐和服饰听着随身听里U2的歌曲穿着耐克和锐跑。

这些所有可怕的事实让我们觉悟到我们不能再袖手旁观什么也不做，因为这种想法它一直在侵蚀着我们的资源。令人鼓舞的是，爆发性环球旅游的增长再次把旅游推向人们关注的焦点，这就是为何联合国制定2002年为生态旅游年，第一次引起全世界关注旅游的好处，但是它也增加了摧毁我们生态环境的能力。现在每一年，许多当地生态环境保护组织正在接受捐赠---大笔的，小笔的或者甚至是硬币，这些来自家庭主妇，水管工，救护车司机，销售员，老师，孩子和残疾人。他们中的一些人付不起汇款的费用然而他们愿意这么做。这都是那些，他们是开出租车的，他们是医院里的护士，他们正在遭受他们社区里生态的破坏。

为什么？因为他们在意。因为他们仍希望大自然母亲能够回来。因为他们知道大自然仍然是属于他们的。这种感觉我有，女士们先生们，当感觉就像是，闻起来就像这样，并且看起就像似，这一切都来自一个场景要记住，回忆和珍惜的一个场景。在其它的晚上，当我看到月亮徘徊在大地之上在它被遮蔽之前，我心中充满了歌曲。我发现自己轻轻的哼唱着的，不是音乐，而是其它别的事情，别的某个地方，一个记得的地方，一个未改变的地方，一片草地，那里没有人，似乎除了鹿。所有的这些难忘的场景加强了该我们做点什么的时候感触，为了我们自己和我们的下一代。再一次，我想起了Dian Fossey太太，因为她的精神，激情，勇气和我们的生态环境，我们正在采取的下一步走向世界的强烈的责任感。

不论我们是谁，我们做什么以及我们去哪里，在我们的心中，总有一个场景要记住，一个场景值得我们努力去保护它争取它。

谢谢，18号选手。你的即兴演讲的主题是：书本里的知识或者个人经验什么对于你更重要？

我记得，我的第一个我心爱的大学的日子，我的一个教授对我说过，“从现在起，你将踏上你认为你是谁你能成为谁之间的旅程。关键是要让你自己在书本的海洋里继续这个旅程。”

并且我也从书本是学到了很多，我知道了欧里几德的几何学，亚里士多德的逻辑学，伊索的寓言知道世界各地的孩子。并没有冒犯所有这些书的作者，但是在我大学三年期间，我意识到个人经验通过实践对于我意味着更多。

正如我们生活在全球信息时代经济增长和个人机会都是基于想法的地方，承诺提供给所有人类千载难逢的机遇来发展自己的是很重要的，不仅对这里的人，也对所有周围的人。

像我们生活在变换的年代交流和商业都全球性的地方，投资是移动的，技术几乎是不可思意的，对更好生活的追求是普遍性的，我认为这就是为什么今天我们在这儿。我们希望通过实践我们的口语获得我们个人的经验，和所有在这里的评委和观众分享我们对于旅游和生态的观点。

而且我认为我们都很幸运生活在历史的这个时刻。以前从未曾有过我们国家享有如此的繁荣和如此多的社会进步有如此小的内部危机。并且在此之前从未曾有过年轻人有如此多的好机会去实践我们自己。因此，有一个深刻的义务去建立一个更完美的我们祖宗梦想的国家。并且我认为我们的政府提供给我们年轻人工具和条件去建设我们梦想的未来。

即使我们从我们的书本里知道一些规则，一些条例，或者经验，我们仍然不能简单的移植到今天更繁忙，更客观，更复杂的世界。相反我们要挑战的是要达到我们今天能够做的个人和团体建立一个强大的家族和强大的社区的共同的价值观和愿景，并且首先，把世界改变成为我们生存的更好的地方。

18号选手，在你的演讲里，你谈论了生态旅游。你给我们解释一下普通旅游以及电子旅游或者生态旅游之间的不同吗？

我认为关键问题是我们意识之间的差别。例如，如果你打算去一个地方旅游，享受你的旅游。我认为在你登机，上车之前，你可以有这样的意识“我不是一个污染者而是一个环境保护者”。

我们并不是到所有的这些风景区去摧毁所有这些美丽的风景而是去感激自然母亲带给我们如此多的东西。

18号选手，如此信息技术越来越接近中国的老百姓，你认为书本将会减少更不重要吗？ 好，我认为，或许，我不认为所有的技术都能取代书藉的重要性。我们生活的现代村庄有如此多新产业---IT产业，旅游产业每天突然出现的以及对于许多人这个勇敢的新世界似乎有一点丧失人性和冷漠。世界再也不能够被定义为地图、列表上某一个地方或者有组织的人，我认为真正的价值，我们村庄的本质是相同的。这是价值观念交织的网络支撑着我们的生活以及我们能够从我们的书本中学到这些，因为书本是现阶段我们所学习的第一步。

我想问你一个关于你已备演讲的问题。你提到,联合国已经宣布2002年,这认为这是，“生态旅游年”。你认为这种姿态，真正能发挥作用吗？

我想，我 的一位老师对我说过，当我已经准备好我的已备演讲的时候，他告诉我如果我们花更多的精力在例如环境保护或者生态旅游上，它是更好的对于我们牢记我们应该学习一些在我们的意识关于怎样更加尊重我们的生态环境，不是口头上说说而是我们心中有所 承担。倾听我们的心声，我们的生态环境可以变得更好。

第二篇：英语演讲及翻译

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.en369.cnwhether 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。篇二：环保英语演讲稿和翻译

环保英语演讲稿和翻译

a lot of measures have been taken.planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment.besides, laws concerning environmental protection have been put into effect and achieved good results.however, the problem of environmental protection remains far from being solved.on the one hand, the environment pollution and 我们生活的世界变得越来越难以忍受,因为环境破坏的原因。例如,森林的破坏导致减少种植的土地和令人不快的天气。此外,人类正面临的问题和被污染的空气污染的水。

很多已经采取措施。植树有助于提高和美化环境。除此以外,环境保护-法律已经实施,取得了良好的效果。

然而,问题的环保仍难以解决。另一方面,污染、破坏环境越来越糟在现代世界中。另一方面,缺乏知识的环境保护问题求解的制约。一言以蔽之,还有很长的路要走,我们享受了干净、舒适的世界。

hiding power of a smile笑容的隐藏力量

我童年时，一直想成为一位超级英雄，我想拯救世界，让每个人都快乐，但我知道需要超能力才能让我的梦想成真，所以我展开这些想象之旅，到克利普顿星(超人的家乡)寻找星际间的天体。这很有趣，但没什么成果。当我长大后，了解到科幻小说不是超能力的好来源，我决定展开一场真正的科学之旅，寻找更有用的真理。

i started my journey in california with a uc berkley 30-year longitudinal study that examined the photos of students in an old yearbook and tried to measure their success and well-being throughout their life.by measuring their student smiles, researchers were able to predict how fulfilling and long-lasting a subjects marriage will be, how well she would score on standardized tests of well-being and how inspiring she would be to others.in another yearbook, i stumbled upon barry obamas picture.when i first saw his picture, i thought that these superpowers came from his super collar.but now i know it was all in his smile.我的旅程开始于加州，以柏克莱大学从事30年期的纵贯研究，研究一本旧年鉴中的学生照片，试着衡量他们一生的成就和幸福。藉由衡量学生的微笑，研究人员能够预测研究对象的婚姻是否圆满及长久，他在标准化幸福评量中能得到多少分，以及他能为别人带来多少启发。在另一本年鉴中，我偶然发现了欧巴马的照片，当我第一次看到他的照片时，我认为这些超能力来自于他的超大衣领，但现在我知道这全来自于他的笑容。another aha!moment came from a 2010 wayne state university research project that looked into pre-1950s baseball cards of major league players.the researchers found that the span of a players smile could actually predict the span of his life.players who didnt smile in their pictures lived an average of only 72.9 years, where players with beaming smiles lived an average of almost 80 years.另一个啊哈!时刻，来自2010年wayne州立大学的研究项目，观察50年代前职棒大联盟球员的棒球卡，研究人员发现，球员微笑的宽度事实上可以预测他寿命的长度，相片中没有笑容的球员，平均寿命仅72.9岁，拥有灿烂笑容的球员，平均寿命将近80岁。the good news is that were actually born smiling.using 3d ultrasound technology, we can now see that developing babies appear to smile, even in the womb.when theyre born, babies continue to smile--initially, mostly in their sleep.and even blind babies smile to the sound of the human voice.smiling is one of the most basic, biologically-uniform expressions of all humans.在巴布亚新几内亚进行的研究中，paul ekman，世界上最知名的脸部表情研究者发现，即使是fore部落中的成员，他们完全与西方文化隔绝，也因他们不寻常的吃人仪式而众所皆知，他们就像你我一样，也会在某些情况下微笑。因此，从巴布亚新几内亚到好莱坞，一直到北京的现代艺术，我们经常微笑着。你用微笑来表达喜悦和满足。how many people here in this room smile more than 20 times per day? raise your hand if you do.oh, wow.outside of this room, more than a third of us smile more than 20 times per day, whereas less than 14 percent of us smile less than five.in fact, those with the most amazing superpowers are actually children who smile as many as 400 times per day.在这房间里，有多少人每天微笑超过20次?如果有的话请举起手。哦，哇!在这个房间外，超过三分之一的人每天微笑超过20次，不到14%的人每天微笑少于5次。事实上，拥有最惊人超能力的是孩童，他们每天微笑多达400次。

have you ever wondered why being around children who smile so frequently makes you smile very often? a recent study at uppsala university in sweden found that its very difficult to frown when looking at someone who smiles.you ask, why? because smiling is evolutionarily contagious, and it suppresses the control we usually have on our facial muscles.mimicking a smile and experiencing it physically help us understand whether our smile is fake or real, so we can understand the emotional state of the smiler.你有没有想过，为什么身处在经常微笑的孩子身边，也会让你经常微笑?最近在瑞典uppsala大学的一项研究发现，当看着正在微笑的人时是很难皱眉的。你会问为什么?因为微笑具有演化上的感染性，它能抑制我们平时对脸部肌肉的控制，模仿一个微笑并实际体验它，帮助我们了解我们的微笑是假是真，因此我们可以了解微笑者的情绪状态。in a recent mimicking study at the university of clermont-ferrand in france, subjects were asked to determine whether a smile was real or fake while holding a pencil in their mouth to repress smiling muscles.without the pencil, subjects were excellent judges, but with the pencil in their mouth, when they could not mimic the smile they saw, their judgment was impaired.最近在法国clermont-ferrand大学的一次模仿研究中，要求测试对象在口中含住一支铅笔抑制微笑肌肉时，判断一个微笑是真是假。不含住铅笔时测试对象有优秀的判断力，但当他们口中含着铅笔时，就无法模仿他们看到的笑容，他们的判断力就会受损。in addition to theorizing on evolution in the origin of species, charles darwin also wrote the facial feedback response theory.his theory states that the act of smiling itself actually makes us feel better--rather than smiling being merely a result of feeling good.in his study, darwin actually cited a french neurologist, guillaume duchenne, who used electric jolts to facial muscles to induce and stimulate smiles.please, dont try this at home.除了在《物种起源》中阐述进化论以外，达尔文还写了脸部回馈理论。他的理论阐述，微笑这个行为本身，事实上能让我们感觉更好，而不仅是感觉不错的一个结果。在他的研究中，达尔文事实上引用了法国神经学家guillaume duchenne的实验，他使用电刺激脸部肌肉，诱发及激起微笑产生。请不要在家里尝试这个。

in a related german study, researchers used fmri imaging to measure brain activity before and after injecting botox to suppress smiling muscles.the finding supported darwins theory by showing that facial feedback modifies the neural processing of emotional content in the brain in a way that helps us feel better when we smile.smiling stimulates our brain reward mechanism in a way that even chocolate--a well-regarded pleasure inducer--cannot match.在德国一项相关研究中，研究人员使用功能性核磁共振造影(fmri)，拍摄在注射肉毒杆菌抑制微笑肌肉前后，对大脑活动进行测量的照片，这个发现支持达尔文的理论，显示当我们微笑时，脸部回馈会改变大脑中情绪部份的神经处理程序，在某种程度上帮助我们感觉更好。微笑刺激我们的大脑奖励机制，在某种程度上，甚至连巧克力，一个公认的快乐诱导物，都无法比拟。

british researchers found that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 bars of chocolate.(laughter)wait.the same study found that smiling is as stimulating as receiving up to 16,000 pounds sterling in cash.thats like 25 grand a smile.its not bad.and think about it this way: 25,000 times 400--quite a few kids out there feel like mark zuckerberg every day.英国研究人员发现，一个微笑可以使大脑产生与2000根巧克力棒相同程度的刺激。(笑声)等等，同样的研究发现，微笑造成的刺激跟得到16000英镑现金相同，一个微笑就像25000美金，还不错。再想想看，25000乘以400，世上不少孩子每天都有像mark zuckerberg的感觉(facebook创办人)。

and, unlike lots of chocolate, lots of smiling can actu ally make you healthier.smiling can help reduce the level of stress-enhancing hormones like cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine, increase the level of mood-enhancing hormones like endorphin and reduce overall blood pressure.而且，不像一大堆巧克力，大量微笑事实上可以让你更健康。微笑可以帮助降低提升压力荷尔蒙的含量，如皮质醇、肾上腺素和多巴胺，增加提升情绪荷尔蒙的含量，如脑内啡，并降低整体血压。

所以，当你想看起来很棒、很能干、减少你的压力，或改善你的婚姻，或想要感觉像是吃了一堆高质量巧克力，而不需承受热量的代价，或彷佛在一件多年没穿的旧夹克口袋中发现二万五千元，或当你想使用超能力帮助自己和周围每个人活得更长久、更健康、生活得更幸福，微笑吧!英语演讲稿二：

what fear can teach us恐惧可以教会我们什么

one day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of chile, in one of the most remote regions of the pacific ocean, 20 american sailors watched their ship flood with seawater.1819年的某一天，在距离智利海岸3000英里的地方，有一个太平洋上的最偏远的水域，20名美国船员目睹了他们的船只进水的场面。

theyd been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ships hull.as their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the men huddled together in three small whaleboats.他们和一头抹香鲸相撞，给船体撞了 一个毁灭性的大洞。当船在巨浪中开始沉没时，人们在三条救生小艇中抱作一团。

these men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land.in their small boats, they carried only rudimentary navigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.这些人在离家10000万英里的地方，离最近的陆地也超过1000英里。在他们的小艇中，他们只带了 落后的导航设备 和有限的食物和饮水。these were the men of the whaleship essex, whose story would later inspire parts of moby dick.他们就是捕鲸船essex上的人们，后来的他们的故事成为《白鲸记》的一部分。even in todays world, their situation would be really dire, but think about how much worse it would have been then.岸上的人根本就还没意识到出了什么问题。没有任何人来搜寻他们。我们当中大部分人没有经历过 这些船员所处的可怕情景，但我们都知道害怕是什么感觉。

we know how fear feels, but im not sure we spend enough time thinking about what our fears mean.我们知道恐惧的感觉，但是我不能肯定我们会花很多时间想过 我们的恐惧到底意味着什么。as we grow up, were often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, just another childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.我们长大以后，我们总是会被鼓励把恐惧 视为软弱，需要像乳牙或轮滑鞋一样 扔掉的幼稚的东西。and i think its no accident that we think this way.neuroscientists have actually shown that human beings are hard-wired to be optimists.我想意外事故并非我们所想的那样。神经系统科学家已经知道人类 生来就是乐观

主义者。

so maybe thats why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself.dont worry, we like to say to one another.dont panic.in english, fear is something we conquer.its something we fight.这也许就是为什么我们认为有时候恐惧，本身就是一种危险或带来危险。不要愁。我们总是对别人说。不要慌。英语中，恐惧是我们需要征服的东西。是我们必须对抗的东西，是我们必须克服的东西。

但是我们如果换个视角看恐惧会如何呢? 如果我们把恐惧当做是想象力的一个惊人成果，是和我们讲故事一样 精妙而有见地的东西，又会如何呢? its easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in young children, whose fears are often extraordinarily vivid.在小孩子当中，我们最容易看到恐惧与想象之间的联系，他们的恐惧经常是超级生动的。when i was a child, i lived in california, which is, you know, mostly a very nice place to live, but for me as a child, california could also be a little scary.我小时候住在加利福尼亚，你们都知道，是非常适合居住的位置，但是对一个小孩来说，加利福尼亚也会有点吓人。

i remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and i sometimes couldnt sleep at night, terrified that the big one might strike while we were sleeping.我记得每次小地震的时候 当我看到我们餐桌上的吊灯 晃来晃去的时候是多么的吓人，我经常会彻夜难眠，担心大地震 会在我们睡觉的时候突然袭来。

and what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have a vivid imagination.but at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kinds of visions behind and grow up.我们说小孩子感受到这种恐惧 是因为他们有生动的想象力。但是在某个时候，我们大多数学会了 抛弃这种想法而变得成熟。

we learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not every earthquake brings buildings down.but maybe its no coincidence that some of our most creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.我们都知道床下没有魔鬼，也不是每个地震都会震垮房子。但是我们当中最有想象力的人们 并没有因为成年而抛弃这种恐惧，这也许并不是巧合。

第三篇：全国英语演讲大赛演讲稿之第一名

Analytical structure of speech:Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

When I was in primary school, I have had a dream.I want to invent a device which could bringyou from one place to anther place in no time at all.When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university.And when eventually I got into university, my dream was to graduate.(recite personal changes of dreams from primary school to university to)

How pathetic!When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic.Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so in order to let it be “fulfilled”? Why do we have to surrender to the reality.What is the reality actually？(ask a series of questions to lead audience to deeper thinking and make the whole speech more academic)Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real.It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies.Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of yeas.A hundred years ago, “man could not fly” was still regarded as the “reality”.Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to the Macao?(ask a series of questions to let audience focus on the issue)Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.People say that our future is a battle between reality and dreams, and if, unfortunately, Mr.Reality(personification, to make this speech more vivid)wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all.AIDS will never be curable, as this is the reality;

people living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever, as this is the reality;

disputes among different countries would never be settled, as this misunderstanding and intolerance is the reality.Ladies and gentleman, how may of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money.Please raise your hands.(Brova, communication with audience in speech)Oh, quite a number of you!Actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task.Every one of us has to make a living, right?(rhetorical question, make personal view more powerful and win audience’s authorization)Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished.How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and you don’t dream any more.Dear adjudicators(echo the former “Mr.Reality” and add sense of humor to the speech to make speech more vivid and humorous), what do you think? C.S.Lewis once said, “You are never too old to dream a new dream.” So for our future, please dream and be unrealistic.(Quotation)

Now that I am university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences.But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future.(continue from the above and introduce the following)

One day, people living in the areas now sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment.One day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy

living themselves.One day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontation among them will be eliminated.One day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true.One day, our dream will defeat the reality!Thank you very much!

Hello everbody!Good evening!My name is Sun Ge.It’s my great honor to stand here to deliver a speech.Today my topic is “how can come true your dream.I believe everyone once heard a person who come form Britain named Susan Boyle.She owes her success to her attitude that is never give up.Sima Qian once said:”How can a sparrow read the great ambition of a swan”.This sentence exactly tell us “Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most importantly,have the courage to follow your heart!” Once I saw a movie named《World's Fastest Indian》,it’s based on a real story.I’m deeply touched by it.It’s never too old to come ture your dream.You should firmly believe your dream must come true if only you keep your feet on the ground.I think you should see this movie after class,you’ll benefit a lot from it.What’s more you should devote yourself intirely to your dream.Of course you should have your own idea when you do everything.When you in trouble,you should get your courage to face the challenge.Everyone should believe in yourself,you must can fly someday!That's all for my speech,thank you very much!

第五篇：公司演讲稿 第一名

什么样的企业值得骄傲

120多年前，龟山角下，襄河对岸，中国近代的工业从这里发源。也是这里，开启了中国近代工业的辉煌之路。他就是汉阳兵工厂。

20多年前，岳麓山旁，湘江岸畔，中国工程机械的腾飞从这里开始。也是这里，铸造了中国现代工程机械的钢铁脊梁。她就是中联重科，我现在站立的这片土地。

1992年9月28日，中联建设机械产业公司这个年轻的生命才在这片湘楚大地诞生。短短20年，当初脆弱的生命，现在已经顶起了中国制造的脊梁。

三年前，我第一次认知中联，是在黄花机场。廊桥上，Zoomlion的精美广告墙画映入眼帘。大厅里，“热烈庆祝中联重科成立20周年”的屏幕醒目展现。20年的时间，中联重科能做到全球工程机械行业的巨头，我万分惊讶，也无比好奇。从那时开始，我对她肃然起敬，更加渴望了解她是如何成为中国制造的骄傲。当我加入中联，融入中联以后，我找到了答案。

人是企业中最重要的元素，没有之一。人才是第一生产力。正是因为有着这么一群 因为，中联有这么一些人，他们用敬业精神撑起中联的过去、现在和未来。现在，我的心热血沸腾，我是中联人，我为我们自豪。因为，中联有全面贯彻的企业文化。

至诚无息，博厚悠远，是我们中联人的灵魂。极致的工匠精神，是我们中联人的品格。刚刚创业之初，由于第一代混凝土输送泵设计欠妥，给用户带来不便，即使订单络绎不绝，詹董事长依然下令停产，背着负债，重新研制，最终新产品顺利下线，并首先为客户免费更换了第一代产品。

正是因为这种至诚执着的精神和极致工匠的精神，让我们成为一家远见卓识的企业，为我们中联的腾飞奠定坚实的根基。

因为，中联有高瞻远瞩的发展战略。

23年前的中联，一家借款50万元的院办企业，23年后的中联，一家拥有900多亿元总资产的跨国企业。23年的发展史，从破解体制、技术双重壁垒，跨越国际化门槛，到最终通过转型升级凝聚发展，并化茧成蝶。中联战略的船头，始终引领着中联走在时代的最前沿。

如今，市场形势严峻，在这种情况下，积极从新布局，调整战略，积极推进2+2+4战略，让公司艘航母调整方向，让公司重攀高峰。

因为，中联有挺起中国制造脊梁的担当。

5.12汶川地震，中联人第一时间出现在震中，在抗震救灾中积极救援同胞。还有，我们全力研究新技术打破国外企业垄断的局面，坚挺中国制造的脊梁，为过争光。

惟楚有材，于斯为盛。就是这片楚地，挺起了中国工业的脊梁。不论荆楚，不论湘楚。

一个企业拥有那些能够坚守的灵魂，能够握准高瞻远瞩的未来方向，能够不计利害为自己的祖国担当责任，能够面对市场莫测的变幻，仍坚守自己的灵魂，只有这样的企业，我们才能说，我们为她骄傲。
