演讲视频Have you ever bought any food on the train? And do you ask for the receipt after buying it? Nowadays, all trains in China provide its passengers with receipts for commodities, but 7 years ago, things were quite different.On 13th of October, 2004, the train T109 from Beijing to Shanghai was speeding on the railway.A graduate student bought a sausage at 1 yuan on the train, then asked for a receipt.“Are you kidding? It‟s just one yuan!” The crew member was surprised.The student, however, answered in a determined voice, “I paid the money, so I deserve the receipt.”

“But we never give receipts on the train.‟ As a result, his further request was turned down by a cold shoulder.Several days later, the student sued the National Railway Ministry, for not providing receipts forpassengers.To his dismay, the court turned down the case for lack of evidence.But he, who majored in law at that time, believed law as a most powerful weapon, so he did not give up.Instead, he began his journey of collecting first-hand evidence by taking trains and buying commodities aboard.When his classmates were playing soccer, he was taking the train;When his classmates were buying food at Mcdonald‟s, he was buying food on the train;When his classmates were asking girls out, he was asking for the receipts.As he joked, „I was either taking the train or on the way to take the train.‟

One month later, he appeared in the court again, with newly-collected evidence and a stronger confidence.And I guess, ladies and gentlemen, you will all cheer for the result because this time, the student won the case.Very soon, a regulation about receipts on the train came out.And whatever we buy on the train now, there‟s a receipt for us.Outside the court, the student was asked, “How do you make it to the end?” He said, “As a law student, I root my faith in law.I believe that law is there, to protect every person with no exception, and to ensure every person has a say.”

His words spread a strong faith in law, which is not only a doctrine of a law student, but also a belief that all citizens ought to hold.It is this faith that initiates the student to resort to law for a tiny issue;it is this faith that supports him to endure all the exhausting trips when collecting evidence;It is this faith that makes a seemingly “ridiculous” receipt request legal and rightful.It is this faith that helps to change our life, enhance our judicial system and bring social justice.To many, a receipt of 1 yuan is too small to mention, however rights are to be respected and law is to be believed in.It all starts with a tiny receipt of 1 yuan, but we get a monumental case, a new regulation and a bumper harvest in social justice.The bridge that leads a tiny start to a bumper harvest is faith, the faith in law, rightful and strong.你曾经买过火车的食物？和你要收据后购买？如今，所有列车的乘客在中国提供收据的商品，但是7年前，事情是完全不同的。

在十月的第十三个，2004个，从北京到上海的火车t109超速行驶的火车。研究生1元买了香肠的火车上，然后要求一个收据。

你逗我呢吧？这只是一个元！“船员惊讶。

学生，然而，在一个确定的声音回答，“我付了钱，所以我应得的收据。”

“但我们不给发票上火车。”因此，他进一步的请求被拒绝的一个冷肩膀。

几天以后，学生状告国家铁道部，没有提供收据的乘客。

但令他沮丧的是，法院拒绝了该案缺乏证据。但他，他主修的是当时的法律，认为法律是一个最有力的武器，所以他并没有放弃。相反，他开始了他的旅程采集第一手证据以火车和购买商品上。当他的同学们踢足球，他乘火车；当他的同学们买吃的麦当劳，他买了火车上的食物；当他的同学们问女孩，他问的收据。他开玩笑说，“我是乘火车还是乘火车的方式。” 一个月后，他出现在法庭上，与newly-collected证据和较强的信心。我猜，女士们先生们，你们都会欢呼，结果因为这个时候，学生胜诉。很快，一个调节收入上火车了。无论我们买火车上呢，有一个收据，我们。

法庭外，学生问，“你是怎么做的到底是什么呢？“他说，”作为一个法律系的学生，我的根我的法律信仰。我相信法律是保护每个人，无一例外，并确保每个人都有说。”

他的话展开强大的法律信仰，它不仅是一种学说的一个法律系学生，但也认为，所有公民都应当把握。正是这种信念，倡导学生诉诸法律的一小的问题；它是这个信念，支持他忍受所有的排气旅行时收集证据；正是这种信念使看似“荒谬”的回执要求法律和合法。正是这种信念，有助于改变我们的生活，提高我们的司法系统，带来社会正义。

许多，一收到1元太小提，然而权利得到尊重和法律是要相信。这一切都始于一个小收到1元，但我们得到了一个巨大的情况下，一个新的规则和丰收社会正义。桥梁，导致一小开始丰收是信仰，法律信仰，合法的和强大的。

Our Future: A Battle between Dreams and Reality

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

When I was in the primary school, I have a dream.I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all.When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university.And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate.How pathetic!When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic.Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be “fulfilled”? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called “reality”? What IS the reality actually?

Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real.It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies.Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years.A hundred years ago, “man could not fly” was still regarded as the “reality”.Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams.And if, unfortunately, Mr.Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all.AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality;People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality;4)Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality.Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands.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? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished.How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don't dream anymore? Dear 5)adjudicators, 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.Now that I am a university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences.But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future.One day, people living in the areas now 6)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 confrontations among them will be 7)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.第十届“21世纪·外教社杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军-南京大学夏鹏

From Walls to Bridges

I'm studying in a city famous for its walls.All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines.With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.Our ancestors liked to build walls.They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country.They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits.This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.I grew up at the foot of the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood.For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic area of my city.My classmates and I were walking with some international students.As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads.Suddenly an international student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs?”

“We're already in the Eastern Suburbs,” I replied.He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese have walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate.At one point, he likened our walled cities to “jails,” while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student.For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls;the campuses were just part of the cities.I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible.We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China's development.Let me give you an example.A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library.However, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, “You can't borrow this book, you are not a student here.” In the end, I had to spend 200 Yuan buying a copy;meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated.Barriers will be replaced by bridges.Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library.With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.I know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China's tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world.And how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? Should we tear them down? Just the opposite.My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls.These walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage.Walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world.If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of their walls.They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world.Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.第九届“21世纪·外教社杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军-南京大学洪晔

The Doors that are Open to Us

Good morning ladies and gentlemen:

The title of my speech today is “The Doors that Are Open to Us ”.The other day my aunt paid me a visit.She was overjoyed.“I got the highest mark in the mid-term examination!” she said.Don't be surprised!My aunt is indeed a student;to be exact, a college student at the age of 45.Last year, she put aside her private business and signed up for a one-year, full-time management course in a college.“This was the wisest decision I have ever made,” she said proudly like a teenage girl.To her, college is always a right place to pick up new ideas, and new ideas always make her feel young.“Compared with the late 70s,” she says, “now college students have many doors.” My aunt cannot help but recall her first college experience in 1978 when college doors began to be re-opened after the Cultural Revolution.She was assigned to study engineering despite her desire to study Chinese literature, and a few years later, the government sent her to work in a TV factory.I was shocked when she first told me how she(had)had no choice in her major and job.Look at us today!So many doors are open to us!I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today.And my aunt told me that we should reach our goals by grasping all these opportunities.The first door I see is the opportunity to study different kinds of subjects that interest us.My aunt said she was happy to study management, but she was also happy that she could attend lectures on ancient Chinese poetry and on Shakespearean drama.As for myself, I am English major, but I may also go to lectures on history.To me, if college education in the past emphasized specialization, now, it emphasizes free and well-rounded development of each individual.So all the fine achievements of human civilization are open to us.The second door is the door to the outside world.Learning goes beyond classrooms and national boundaries.My aunt remembers her previous college days as monotonous and even calls her generation “frogs in a well.” But today, as the world becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors and we be open-minded to learn with and from each other.I have many fellow international classmates, and I am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad.As for my aunt, she is planning to get an MBA degree in the United Kingdom where her daughter, my cousin, is now doing her master's degree in biochemistry.We are now taking the opportunity to study overseas, and when we come back, we'll put to use what we have learnt abroad.The third door is the door to lifelong learning.As new ideas appear all the time, we always need to acquire new knowledge, regardless of our age.Naturally, my aunt herself is the best example.Many of my aunt's contemporaries say that she is amazingly up-to-date for a middle-aged woman.She simply responds, “Age doesn't matter.What matters is your attitude.You may think it's strange that I am still going to college, but I don't think I'm too old to learn.” Yes, she is right.Since the government removed the age limit for college admissions in 2001, there are already some untraditional students, sitting with us in the same classrooms.Like these people, my aunt is old but she is very young in spirit.With her incredible energy and determination, she embodies both tradition and modernity.The doors open to us also pose challenges.For instance, we are faced with the challenge of a balanced learning, the challenge of preserving our fine tradition while learning from the West, and the challenge of learning continuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work and family.So, each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents, friends and my aunt, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.When I reach my aunt's age, I can be proud to say that I have walked through dozens of doors and will, in the remainder of my life, walk through many more.Possibly I will go back to college, too.Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.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

A Scene to Remember

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.Thank you very much.

21世纪・爱立信杯“全国英语演讲比赛冠军得主的演讲稿:

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 Competition is a memory that I shall treasure and on 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 communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage.Also the competition helps boost public speaking in China, a skill hitherto undervalued.For me, though, the competition 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 communicating 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 ways in to s another head need to be recognizably yours.Language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication.It should be lucid to be penetrating.In China, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized.Will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come 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 come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on.Pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: Is your language competent 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 worded speech, excellent presence and quick-witted response“.In so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughers.Some contestants failed to address their questions head on.Some were able to, but did not knows where s to 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 coming our way“.We need to respond honestly.A competition 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 communication.And this goes true for all communications, 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 communication“.Thirty years since, China and America have exchanged many handshakes.The fundamental implication of this example is that the need to communicate 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 combating terrorism.Peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world.Underlying this mighty trend of global communication is the echo of E.M.Forster's words ”Only connect!" With the IT revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshedsinto s one 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 integrating in to s the world.Our recent entry to the WTO is a good example.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 come 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 common interest in every other nation's economic health.We are reminded by Karl Marx that capital goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity.This has become a reality.Multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the largest market, and the most favorable 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 community.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 coming our way.This is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.

钱钟书先生喻回忆为ego-trip，即一段心灵的自我旅程。所以有时空倒流，玉轮光转，恰如william blake所咏唱的企图在瞬间参透永恒的举动。当然这一切的动因，都是内心在茫茫宇宙中寻找确定的契合点，以勾勒出一段明晰的线条，也算是自我认知的开始。我唯恐从自己散淡的生活中寻思出一条本不存在的线索，也无意在曾经驻足回味的驿站再多徘徊一个时辰，但无论如何，一个明确无误的时刻不能轻易略过：4年前，中国广州，第五届21世纪杯大学生英文演讲比赛。之前，我是生涩拘谨的大二学生；之后，我学会了面对人生种种而不退却，在任何情形下都昂起自己高傲的头颅。

童年

我大约是“21世纪杯”历届选手中的一个异数。生在新疆生产建设兵团的一个小小的农场里，在那里接受了从小学到初中的基础教育，后来才转学到农场邻近的一个小城。除了儿时在上海度过无忧无虑的两年，绝大多数形成性经历（formative experience）其实都是在新疆获得的。说到新疆，我总会想起edward said笔下的东方(the orient)，因为每次回上海亲戚家中，家人都会很为我的一切担心，新疆在大多数人的心中，是连不毛之地都不如的，是的的确确的他者(the other)。可回想起来，我最重要的教育，就是在这粗犷的北方天空下

无忧无虑的成长。小学时我热爱天文地理。曾经航行世界的爷爷经常给我买地图拼图，并且亲自考查我的地理知识。还在二年级之前，我就已经把世界地图册翻烂了，并且记住了一个个自认为美丽的地名：斯德哥尔摩、布宜诺斯艾利斯、雷克雅未克„„为了看懂星图，我开始一个人研究希腊神话。幸而小孩子的记忆力实在牢靠：我从来就没有被希腊人长长的名字所吓倒。十岁的时候，我已经能够辨认北天可以看到的五十余个星座中的大多数了。新疆的夏夜短而清凉，我就等到月落后，在半夜爬起来去观察星的移动。新疆的天空高而澄澈，在我家附近只有一望无际的田地，丝毫没有大都市特有的光污染。父亲强迫我练字的时候我死活弄不明白的那句“仰观宇宙之大，俯察品类之盛”似乎在繁密的群星中找到了最佳注解。

虽然当医生的父亲特别在母亲怀我的时候把莫扎特的音乐拿来做胎教，在当时也算得上是开风气之先，但我们家里绝对没有培养天才的宏愿。母亲是英文教师，和父亲一样，主张我要有快乐的童年。参加合唱队，学小提琴，我都半途而废，老师很生气地向父母告状，他们则总是很固执地认为我需要休息，需要有自己的时间。现在看来，我父母似乎有着更加古怪的计划。我的第一本童话书，竟然是英汉对照的英国民间故事集。脑子里面塞满了科尔切斯特王国公主的三头井，攀爬豆茎的杰克之类的奇谈怪论，对于那汉语对面的洋字也有了兴趣，母亲就在我半睡半醒间开始教我英语。小学就晃晃悠悠地学完了初中教材，初中就开始学习那套堪称经典的new concept english（《新概念英语》）。我觉得自己是幸运的，我一开始学的是国际音标，拼音语言的魅力，让8岁的我着迷。我从来没有觉得英语里面有困难的读音，也与这个有关。一开始，母亲就让我熟悉了英文的拼写法和发音之间若隐若现的关系，以至于现在让我一个字母一个字母地背诵单词简直就是折磨——在我脑中，永远是一个一个的音节，而不是单个的字母。后来才知道，印欧语言都是拼音语言，和表意文字构成的汉语相比，发音是非常重要的。印欧语言基本上都是“我手写我口”，英文虽然在这方面例外多到了恶名昭著的地步，但仔细找规律，还是很容易弄通的。我的希腊神话也帮了忙：学习ocean这个单词的时候，我想到了okeanos（希腊神话中的一个海神）；而helios（阿波罗手下的日神）也在英文中构成了关乎太阳的很多单词。母亲不仅要求我对国际音标能够达到得心应手的纯熟程度，还时常告诉我句子中逻辑重音跟意群等细节的重要性，要我每天大声朗读英文。后来学的东西多了，还要求背诵课文。《新概念英语》里面浸透着英国绅士那种内敛的幽默，似乎就是在这个时候给我留下很深的印象。《新概念英语》是我最有感情的一套教材。第二册的96篇课文成功地让学生反复巩固已经获得的语法知识。母亲那个时候已经开始让我自学。手捧一本《牛津双解》，我开始自娱自乐。我手头还有外研社出的一本薄薄的小书，叫做《我是怎样学外语的：25年学用16种外语经验谈》，作者卡莫?罗姆布(kamo lomb)是匈牙利的著名翻译。这本书现在大约已经绝版，实在是遗憾得很：我以为这本书是谈外语学习的出版物中最深入浅出，也是最有见地的一本，可能只有后来商务出的《识途篇》可与之媲美。这本书让我眼界大开，同时也廓清了自己学习过程当中的重重迷雾，直到今天，我仍然在用这本书中介绍的方法学习外语，而且学习的语种也扩大到了德文和法文。罗姆布的观点从今天应用语言学的观点看来，是不新鲜的：学习外语应该对语言学理论和文化底蕴也感兴趣，要与语言材料尽可能多做接触以获得(acquire)语言熟巧，从语言中学习语法而非相反等等。但在当时的大环境下，她所推荐的方法和中学外语教学的主流是格格不入的，所以才显得格外有趣。我从此丢弃了外语工具论的异端邪说，开始将英文作为一种文化进行学习。不仅关注语言现象，也 对英语国家的历史、政治和社会大感兴趣。我开始用短波收音机磕磕绊绊地收听bbc world service的广播。由于词汇量有限，听懂的东西少得可怜。可是父母非常鼓励我，总是说“灌耳音”对于学习外语是很有帮助的。果然我对语音的细微差别更加敏感了，听力和口语都有一些提高。后来当我第一次出国的时候，有人还提到我的语音有一点像bbc的某个播音员，看来耳濡目染的学习效果是不容忽视的。我是一个很爱看杂书的人。似懂非懂地啃完了弗拉马立翁的《大众天文学》，我又开始读《圣经故事》和《世界通史》的插图版。有一次生病，母亲离开家以前撂了一本英汉对照的简写本《简?爱》给我。我很快就津津有味地读完了中文部分，然后对自己喜欢的英文部分稍加留意。父亲从上海给我买来各种童话和故事，还有一套当时颇为昂贵的《莎士比亚戏剧故事集?插图版》。现在我还很尴尬地记得，当时最喜欢的是the merry wives of windsor（《温莎的风流娘儿们》）那种欢乐的气氛。杂书看来是毫不相干的营生，但仔细回想起来，我倒觉得比正规教育还有有用有趣。当时有一套很全面的《百万个为什么?文科学生版》，是面向高中学生的，可我在初一的时候就迷上了。里面的《外语》分册介绍了千奇百怪的语言现象。比如介绍语言的“可听性”时说，西班牙语像玉盘滚珠，德语像大炮，虽然不甚确切，倒也很有意思。我见识到了什么叫做“梵文天城体文字”，荷兰语和佛莱芒语的区别是什么，同时也很惊喜地发现，拼音也可以做成方块字，比方韩国语的“训民正音”系统。我在学习外语的初期，就未出现对“非我族类”语文的大惊小怪，德语很多词类有阴性阳性之分，甚至还有语法性和自然性的区别，在那时的我看来，就和新疆干旱的天气一样自然而然。在人间 初中的时候，我对英语基本上还是不痛不痒的感觉。每天看看《新概念》，查查单词，做做题，基本上都属于非做不可的household chores，还没有上升到主动积极的精神境界。那个时候，我担任英语课代表，经常给同学讲解考试卷，自己本来就学得很透彻的语法也更加熟练了。虽然语法在后来成为了一个沉重的负担，但在当时，对于初学一门语言的少年来说，清楚的语法结构就如同林中路上光滑发亮的石子儿一样，能够把怯生生的亨舍尔和格雷特尔们从迷宫般的语言黑森林里面引领出来。后来到了爱尔兰读研究生才发现我是我们硕士班唯一一个知道如何正确使用虚拟语气的人，虽然班上超过三分之二的人是英语母语者。学习外语需要灵活的头脑，不是数学的头脑，也不是哲学的头脑，而是能够生成音乐和意象的大脑。我从来不拘泥于一个语法特例，也不计较为什么惯用法和语法相互矛盾。我全心全意地接受母语者本能的指导，从不质问为什么母语者不用汉语的思路构筑句子（中国学生最大的恶习）。我最感兴趣的是英语和汉语之间奇妙的差别，并常常为一个个古灵精怪的英语句子感到兴奋。可以说，从很早开始，我就不知不觉地开始实践“用英语思考”的理念，尽管《新概念》的编者l.g.alexander说这个是不可能的。我坚信他错了：学习外语的最重要任务便是在思考和语言之间建立直接的关系，不需要借助任何中介。一个用功的英语学生，可能不一定会达到完全用目的语思考的境界，但是部分的使用目的语作为思维载体，不仅是可能的，而且是必需的。语言不仅是思维的载体，而且还界定操这种语言者的思维。比方德国人和英国人的存在观就会有出入：“有”这么一个基本的概念，英文是“there is„„”但是德文就是“es gibt„„”，所以英、德两国的哲人运思“存在”的概念就会有取向的差别。英、德两种具有亲缘关系的语言还有如此的分野，更不要说中文和英文了。尼采在《善与恶的彼岸》中显露出自己语文学家(philologist)的本来面目，写了如下的句子：“语言的契合之处，由于存在着共通的语法哲学，也就是被相似的语法功能不自觉的指引和主导的情形下，从一开始就具备着发展出轨迹和序列相似的哲学系统的条件；同样的形成某些其他的世界观的可能性也因此被禁止了。”所以通过英语直接理解英语，是具备相当水平的语言学习者必须面对的挑战。罗姆布的书里也提到，在学习的初期就要开始通过原文学习原文，这个后来被证明是经典名言。

初三有机会参加全国中学生英语能力竞赛，拿到了新疆赛区的冠军，到秦皇岛参加生平第一次全国性英文演讲比赛。为了准备演讲比赛，我很认真地跟随母亲进行训练。除了每天反复练习演讲稿，看着镜子校正脸部肌肉的运动，还要学习应答很多日常问题。那个时候，bbc的rp没能抵挡住母亲美式英语的冲击，我的口音是地地道道的美音，连terrific这样的词，都挂在嘴边上，顾盼自雄。后来在秦皇岛获得了初中组一等奖的第四名，感到很侥幸。路过北京的时候在北大附中一位生物老师家中寄宿，他是父亲的朋友。他很不客气地对我说：“你的奖是照顾得来的。你们新疆的水平怎么可以和北京上海的相比？如果你在内地比赛，一定拿不到这个赛区冠军。”我那个时候便讶异于他这种低级的偏见，没有对自己产生丝毫的怀疑。我记得在病中读到的一句话，似乎是《简?爱》里面海伦开导被校长布鲁克尔赫斯特无端指责的简?爱时说的：“哪怕这个世界都在指责你，只要你自己问心无愧，就可以勇敢地昂起头来。”虽然后来我对《简?爱》的文学价值有了更批判的认识，但我永远不会忘记这本小书给我的勇气。当时流行《走遍美国》，我看得正入迷，所以用a big fish in a small pond来自勉，倒也恰如其分。

高中基本上在《新概念英语》第三册中度过了。高二时我突发奇想要从美音改成英音，于是开始了一项耗时巨大的工程。我爱上了bbc world service的节目。从newshour到uk top 20，从off the shelf到the world today，我把收听广播当成了日课。在听的同时我开始模仿播音员的发音，并把自己的朗读录下来，在反复聆听中校正自己的发音。当时我们有一位短期外教，来自英国约克。她很赞许我的口音，不过对我的“美国式”语调有所保留。这个问题，要等到我上了大学才得到了根本性的解决。

从小学到高中，母亲是我的英文启蒙老师。虽然自己学得懵懵懂懂，但基本的语言知识都学到了。英文的学习很大程度上是“童子功”，需要长时间、高频度的单调重复和温习。很多人都自以为得之矣，实际上只是“知道”而不是“熟稔”，所以无法达到语言和思维亲密无间的更高境界。简单的语法现象要在语言实践中化为条件反射，基础的词汇都要强制记忆，更重要的是，要在一开始就养成学习外语的良好习惯和心态，以便将来能够主动地为自己设计外语学习课程，这里择要概述。首先，学习外语不可以有中断，每天都必须投入至少一小时的时间，否则就将体会到没有丝毫进步的挫折感。阅读是学习外语的安身立命之本，没有大量的阅读，不可能在非母语环境中培养精细的语感。听力要多锻炼，哪怕似懂非懂的“灌耳音”都是非常有益的。其次，必须了解语言习得的规律，为自己的可持续性外语学习提供坚实的科学基础。要细心地观察所学外语的潜在规律，在语言现象中主动地总结语法和用法规则，这样才能内化(internalise)一门外语。第三，要有包容开放的心态，充分地进入异文化的内核，从根本上解读外语的生存环境。

其实上面的建议是对中国目前盛行的“消极掌握外语”理念和实践的反驳与批判。单单追求考试通过而拒绝下功夫掌握外语是愚蠢的。

很多培训学校都有诸如“听力技巧”的课程，教人如何“应付”听力考试。他们通过逻辑的分析可以很大程度上预测答案，但是当你真正能够听懂，就根本不需要引入这些不蔓不枝的繁杂“方法”了。想要针对某项考试消极地掌握外语，不但要在所谓应试技巧方面浪费很多的时间，而且一定会在需要应用外语的场合左支右绌。说来说去，一门语言的习得，是一种下意识的培养，是一种不需要在脑中为了一个语法现象纠缠不清、一眼就可以判断语言样本是否正确得体的能力。这种能力是衡量外语水准的唯一有效标准，绝非一两次标准化考试就能够测评出来的。

我的大学

中国学生对标准化考试是无计可逃的，在参加高考之后我走进了上海外国语大学。其实也是事出偶然：我的户口高中时代就转回上海，必须返沪参加高考，而上海高考填报志愿是在考试之前，这给所有人出了一道难题。我本来有意报考复旦大学世界经济系，不过在考前咨询会上碰到的复旦老师一听说我在新疆接受中等教育，不约而同地说：“我们不在新疆招生。”他们似乎急于打消莘莘学子对复旦的敬仰。倒是上外的老师们和蔼可亲，尤其是虞建华教授给我留下了极为深刻的印象。琢磨了半天，终于决定把第一志愿填为上外的国际经济法和英语两个专业，我最终走进了上外娇小玲珑的校园。命运轮的流转让一切雄心勃勃的计划都黯然失色，而我却从这次选择中受益终生。

甫进大学，就感到自己的英文学习进入了一个“瓶颈”，就是季羡林先生说的“平台期”，跳过去了，就从普通的鲤鱼变成了天龙，而倘若不能突破的话，就会前功尽弃。我为此请教虞老师，他的回答很简单：“大量阅读，尤其是简写本。”我那时年少气盛，作不解状。虞老师谈起他当年在上外读书时，教文学的陆佩弦先生也要求他们这些早已开始啃原著的年轻教师多读简写本。理由很简单：你能用区区几百个词将故事叙述得如此活灵活现吗？如果答案是否定的，就要老老实实地读。虞老师还和我分享了一个小小的心得：在英语基础已经相当坚固的情形下，用英语国家的中学生读物，可能效果比读简写本还要好。于是我一头扎进图书馆，开始阅读自己能够搜罗到的校园小说。整整三个月，我沉浸在英国少年情窦初开的世界中，很吃力地在探险、恋爱和校内权力斗争的重重网络中游走。在以每天50多页的速度啃了好几本之后，发现自己的语感有了质的飞跃，由于中学生读物的难度比简写本高出许多但又比一般原文文字要简单，我掌握了许多中级词汇，同时口语的熟练程度也有了巨大的进步。罗姆布的书中讲到，“阅读以优美、简单的语言节奏写成的现代戏剧、长短篇小说，最能培养语言熟巧。语言的所谓?情境因素?包含在艺术性的叙述的潜台词中，可以与潜台词一起不知不觉地吸收到人的记忆里。”诚哉，斯言！

工欲善其事，必先利其器。罗姆布引用法兰西学院院士安纳托尔?法郎士的话说：“字典是按字母排列的宇宙。”进入大学以后，一本小小的牛津高阶双解已经不能满足日常的阅读需要了，终于有一天，我从外文书店捧回了一本厚厚的concise oxford第八版，从此开始了使用原文字典的快乐旅程。刚开始用简明牛津，常常是为了一个单词的解释察看两三个词条，因为往往用来解释的词汇可能也是生词。篇二：历届全国英语演讲大赛冠军演讲稿

全国英语演讲大赛冠军：学英语笨方法才是好方法.cn 2006年11月23日10:36 东北新闻网 2006“ c c t v杯”全国英语演讲大赛于近日落下帷幕，武汉大学的陈东夺得第一名，大家都难以相信陈东竟是一个非英语专业的学生，据他自己爆料，小学毕业时只认得一个单词。陈东何以把英语学得这么好？有什么窍门吗？昨日，记者电话采访了这位全国英语冠军。

啃难题让他大开眼界

陈东上小学时对英语不感兴趣，英语课对他来说就是活动课，他从来不听讲，小学毕业时只认得“ o r a n g e”一个单词，因为他就爱念“ o r a n g e”，觉得很顺口，好玩！上了初中，陈东想好好学英语了，但是他没有一点儿英语基础，学习时遇到了很多困难。幸运的是，陈东结识了好友余皪。余皪的英语成绩非常好，初一时已经在学习《新概念英语2》了，初二就能用很流利的英语表达自己的想法了。

最让陈东佩服的是，余皪的英语已经那么好了，但还是在学习，老师布置的作业他都会认真完成，尽管他都会了。陈东回忆说，这么多年来，余皪一直在帮助他，从完全不能说，到渐渐能开口，到基本能说，到很能说，一直都是在余皪的巨大影响下。

记得初三时，陈东买了一本《英语奥林匹克》，这本书稍有难度，做一套题能错一半还多，而且常常是看完答案和注解也不知道怎么回事。陈东找来余皪给他讲题，余皪不仅英语基础好，而且课讲得十分精彩。陈东说，他好像什么都懂，见多识广，可以从一个单词讲到美国的历史，联系到的背景知识，让人大开眼界。一个月下来，整本书做完了，陈东的英语成绩有了很大提高，也就是从那时起陈东喜欢上了英语。篇四：全国大学生英语英语演讲比赛第一名

第五篇：第十六届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军许吉如演讲稿

Have you ever bought any food on the train? And do you ask for the receipt after buying it? Nowadays, all trains in China provide its passengers with receipts for commodities, but 7 years ago, things were quite different.On 13th of October, 2004, the train T109 from Beijing to Shanghai was speeding on the railway.A graduate student bought a sausage at 1 yuan on the train, then asked for a receipt.“Are you kidding? It‟s just one yuan!” The crew member was surprised.The student, however, answered in a determined voice, “I paid the money, so I deserve the receipt.”

“But we never give receipts on the train.‟ As a result, his further request was turned down by a cold shoulder.Several days later, the student sued the National Railway Ministry, for not providing receipts for passengers.To his dismay, the court turned down the case for lack of evidence.But he, who majored in law at that time, believed law as a most powerful weapon, so he did not give up.Instead, he began his journey of collecting first-hand evidence by taking trains and buying commodities aboard.When his classmates were playing soccer, he was taking the train;When his classmates were buying food at Mcdonald‟s, he was buying food on the train;When his classmates were asking girls out, he was asking for the receipts.As he joked, „I was either taking the train or on the way to take the train.‟

One month later, he appeared in the court again, with newly-collected evidence and a stronger confidence.And I guess, ladies and gentlemen, you will all cheer for the result because this time, the student won the case.Very soon, a regulation about receipts on the train came out.And whatever we buy on the train now, there‟s a receipt for us.Outside the court, the student was asked, “How do you make it to the end?” He said, “As a law student, I root my faith in law.I believe that law is there, to protect every person with no exception, and to ensure every person has a say.”

His words spread a strong faith in law, which is not only a doctrine of a law student, but also a belief that all citizens ought to hold.It is this faith that initiates the student to resort to law for a tiny issue;it is this faith that supports him to endure all the exhausting trips when collecting evidence;It is this faith that makes a seemingly “ridiculous” receipt request legal and rightful.It is this faith that helps to change our life, enhance our judicial system and bring social justice.To many, a receipt of 1 yuan is too small to mention, however rights are to be respected and law is to be believed in.It all starts with a tiny receipt of 1 yuan, but we get a monumental case, a new regulation and a bumper harvest in social justice.The bridge that leads a tiny start to a bumper harvest is faith, the faith in law, rightful and strong.
