Types of Speech

Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality.As such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries.Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered appropriate for more formal situations.Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language.Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as good, formal usage by the majority.Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified.Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing.Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech.Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity.In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories.Every generation seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions.First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society;second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups;third, association among the subgroups and the majority population.Finally, it is worth noting that the terms “standard” “colloquial” and “slang” exist only as abstract labels for scholars who study language.Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions.Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions.Did you deal with fortune fairly

Most people complain of fortune, few of nature;and the kinder they think the latter has been to them, the more they murmur at what they call the injustice of the former.Why have not I the riches, the rank, the power, of such and such, is the common expostulation with fortune;but why have not I the merit, the talents, the wit, or the beauty, of such and such others, is a reproach rarely or never made to nature.The truth is, that nature, seldom profuse, and seldom niggardly, has distributed her gifts more equally than she is generally supposed to have done.Education and situation make the great difference.Culture improves, and occasions elicit, natural talents I make no doubt but that there are potentially, if I may use that pedantic word, many Bacons, Lockes, Newtons, Caesars, Cromwells, and Mariboroughs at the ploughtail behind counters, and, perhaps, even among the nobility;but the soil must be cultivated, and the season favourable, for the fruit to have all its spirit and flavour.If sometimes our common parent has been a little partial, and not kept the scales quite even;if one preponderates too much, we throw into the lighter a due counterpoise of vanity, which never fails to set all right.Hence it happens, that hardly any one man would, without reverse, and in every particular, change with any other.Though all are thus satisfied with the dispensations of nature, how few listen to her voice!How to follow her as a guide!In vain she points out to us the plain and direct way to truth, vanity, fancy, affection, and fashion assume her shape and wind us through fairy-ground to folly and error.很多人抱怨命运，却很少有人抱怨自然；人们越是认为自然对他们仁爱有加，便越是嘀咕命运对他们的所谓不公。

人们常常对命运发出诘难：我为何没有财富、地位、权力以及诸如此类的东西；但人们却很少或从不这样责怪过自然：我为何没有长处、天赋、机智或美丽以及诸如此类的东西。

事实是，自然总是将天赋公平地分配给人们，比人们通常认为的还要不偏不倚，很少过分地慷慨!也很少吝啬。人与人之间的巨大差异是由于教育和环境使然。文化修养改良了天赋，机遇环境诱发了天赋。我们并不怀疑在农田耕作，在柜台后营业，甚至在豪门贵族中间有很多潜在的培根们、洛克们、牛顿们、凯撒们、克伦威尔们和马尔伯勒们，如果允许我用“潜在的”这个学究味浓重的词的话；但是要使果实具有它全部的品质和风味，还必须有耕耘过的泥土，必须有适宜的季节。

倘若大自然有时候有那么一点偏心，没有将天平摆正；倘若有一头过重，我们就会在轻的一头投上一枚大小适当的虚荣的砝码，它每次都会将天平重新调平，从不出差错。因此就出现了这种情况：几乎没有人会毫无保留地和另一个人里里外外全部对换一下。

虽然对于自然的分配，人人都感到满意；然而肯听听她的忠告的人却是如此之少!能将她当作向导而跟随其后的人又是如此之少!她徒然地为我们指出一条通向真理的笔直的坦途；而虚荣、幻想、矫情、时髦却俨然以她的面貌出现，暗中将我们引向虚幻的歧途，走向愚笨和谬误。

Two views of times

Imagine that you spent your whole life at a single house.Each day at the same hour you entered an artificially-lit room,undressed and took up the same position in front of a motion picture camera.It photographed one frame of you per day,every day of your life.On your seventy-second birthday,the reel of film was shown.You saw yourself growing and aging over seventy-two years in less than half an hour(27.4minites at sixteen frames per second).Images of this sort ,though terrifying, are helpful in suggesting unfamiliar but useful perspectives of time.They may ,for example ,symbolize the telescoped ,almost momentary charater of the past as seen through the eyes of an anxious or disa-ffected individual.Or they may suggest the remarkable brevity of our lifes in the cosmic scale of time.If the estimated age of the cosmos were shorted to seventy-two years, a human life would take about ten seconds.But look at time the other way.Each day is a minor eternity of over 86000 seconds.During each second, the number of distinct molecular functions going on with the human body is comparable to the mumber of seconds in the estimated age of the cosmos, A few seconds are long enough for a revolutionary idea, a startling communication, a baby's conception, a wounding insult, a sudden death.Depending on how we think of them, our lives can be

infinitely long or infinitely short.Love your life

However mean your life is,meet it and live it;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想

Frankness

You must study to be frank with the world:frankness is the child of honesty and courage.Say just what you mean to do, on every occasion.If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable;if not, tell him plainly why you cannot.You would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one.The man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at a sacrifice.Deal kindly but firmly with all your classmates.You will find it the policy which wears best.Above all, do not appear to others what you are not.If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain.There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to do one thing before a man's face and another behind his back.We should say and do nothing to the injury of any one.It is not only a matter of principle, but also the path of peace and hornor.By Robert E.Lee

参考译文

在世间必须学会以真诚示人：率真乃是诚实与勇敢之子。无论在何种场合，都应该道出自己的真实想法。如果朋友对你有所求，对于合情合理之请，应该欣然同意；不然，应该明明白白地告诉朋友拒绝的理由。任何模棱两可的话语将会让别人误解，也会使自己蒙受冤屈。

千万不要为了结交朋友或者挽留友情而做错一事。对你有这种要求的人也会付出沉重的代价。与同学真心相对，绝不背叛。你将发现这是最有效用的准则。总之，要以真实面目示人。

如果发现某人身有瑕疵，直接告诉他你的意见，而不是诉之他人。人前一套，背后又是一套，没有什么比这更加危机四伏。任何有损他人的言语或者事情我们都应该避免。这不仅是一种做人的原则，而且也是通向平和的人际关系、获得他人尊敬之道

Just for today 只为今天

Source:2008-06-06我要投稿恒星英语学习论坛Favorite

就为了今天，我会很快乐；就为了今天，我将磨练自己的意志；就为了今天，我会制定一个计划……

昨天，今天，明天，也许选择今天最为明智。昨天已经过去，明天还未到来，唯有把握每一个今天，笑对今天，才是人生之一大真谛。

Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once.I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.Just for today I will be happy.This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires.I will take my “luck” as it comes.Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind.I will study.I will learn something useful.I will not be a mental loafer.I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways.I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: If anybody knows of it, it will not count.I will do at least two things I don't want to do-just for exercise.I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.Just for today I will be agreeable.I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself.Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it.I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax.During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.Just for today I will be unafraid.Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.From:

生命只有一次

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.Always put yourself in others' shoes.If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship.And if you don't, don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message.中文：

生活中，有时强烈的思念使我们恨不得一把将所爱的人从梦中带走，实实在在地拥抱他们。

做自己想做的梦吧。去自己想去的地方吧。做自己想做的人吧。生命只有一次，机会只有一回。

愿你有足够的欢乐，使自己甜蜜；有足够的考验，使自己坚强；有足够的悲伤，使自己富有人情；有足够的希望，使自己幸福。

要经常换位思维。一件事，要是你感到对自己有伤害，就可能对他人也有伤害。最幸福的人并不是那些拥有最好东西的人，他们只是能够将得到的东西变得最好。幸福属于那些会哭泣的人，那些受过伤害的人，那些探索的人，以及那些尝试过的人。只有他们才懂得对自己生活有影响的人们的重要。爱以微笑开始，在亲吻中成长，以泪水终结。光明灿烂的明天建立在忘却的过去之上。只有让以往的失败和伤心随风而去，你才能过得更好。

出生伊始，哭啼的是你，周围的人却在微笑。珍视生活，好好地活着，这样入死，让周围的人哭啼，自己却在微笑。

请把这些语言送给那些你所关心的人，那些在生活中这样或那样同自己打交道的人，那些需要时能给你带来微笑的人，那些在逆境中依然能使你看到光明的人，那些你珍视与他们之间友谊的人。即使你没有这样做，也不要紧。没有什么大不了的事情，你只是错过了用这些言语照亮他人日子的机会

Heavy schoolwork【课业繁重】

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.High should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Which tends to be stifled by too much study.Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。

Time【时间】

Lost time is never found again.This is something which I learned very clearly last semester.I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.I finally realized that something had to be done.It was time for a change.Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely.I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.This will give me a head start on the day.I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it.Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.时光一去不复返，这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡，以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为；该是痛改前非的时候了。

现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时，这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。

Work and Play【工作与娱乐】

Work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they complement each other.As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school.Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来渲泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。

放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉飨宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。

My first Job【我的第一份工作】

My first job was at a cramming school.It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination.since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message.I worked eight hours a day, six days a week.The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well.The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业，考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事，倒不如找份差事，尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。

我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时，一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重，所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了！

My Favorite Sports【我最喜爱的运动】

Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.Table tennis is my favorite game.I play it almost every day.Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.Table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动，特别是桌球，桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。

桌球对我们而言，是一项理想的运动，因为它可以使我们全身运动，它可以增强我们的肌肉，扩张我们的肺部，促进血液循环，并且使肌肤产生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。

Keep learning【保持学习】

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire

for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。

一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。

One day, a father and his little son were going home.At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions.Now, he asked, “What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?” “Well, my son,” his father replied, “look, there are standing two policemen.If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk.” “But, dad,” the boy said, “ there's only ONE policeman!”

醉酒

一天，父亲与小儿子一道回家。这个孩子正处于那种对什么事都很感兴趣的年龄，老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲发问道：“爸爸，‘醉’字是什么意思？” “唔，孩子，”父亲回答说，“你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个，那么我就算醉了。” “可是，爸爸，”孩子说，“那儿只有一个警察呀！”

Is Failure a Bad Thing Failure is a common thing in our daily life.As students, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our exams.When we play games, we might be beaten by others.And there are times when we fail to do work well.All these failures happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experiences.However, there are different attitudes towards failure.Some people lose heart when they fail;they think the world is at its end.Some people don„t take failure seriously but just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure.In my opinion, what is really important is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and what we do after failure.As long as we don„t give up, keeping believing in ourselves, and at the same time learn something from failure, we„ll certainly make our mark in the end.So I am never afraid of failure, for I believe that failure is not a bad thing.Rather, “Failure is the mother of success.”

失败是坏事吗 失败在我们的日常生活中很常见。作为学生，我们有时在考试中得不到高分。在我们和其他人比赛时，有时会输。还有的时候，我们总做不好事情。所有这些失败都很自然，我们每一个人都有类似的经历。然而，面对失败人们的态度却截然不同。一些人失败后变得灰心丧气，似乎世界末日到了；一些人不拿失败当回事儿，听之任之；还有一些人却从失败中学习东西，从而从失败中能看到希望。在我看来，重要的不是失败本身，而是我们对待失败的态度和失败之后我们的行动。只要我们不放弃，相信自己，并从失败中汲取营养，我们最后一定会取得胜利。因此，我从不害怕失败，因为我相信失败并不是坏事。相反，“失败是成功之母”。

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad.“Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.“I am no longer a kid, I don‟t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys.I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don‟t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them.So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited.He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn‟t come back after he picked the apples.The tree was sad.One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.“Come and play with me.” The tree said.“I don‟t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don‟t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn‟t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build the boat.You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.“Sorry, my boy.But I don‟t have anything for you anymore.No more apples for you.” the tree said.“ I don‟t have teeth to bite.” The boy replied.“ No more trunk for you to climb on.” “I am too old for that now.” the boy said.“I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.” The tree said with tears.“I don‟t need much now, just a place to rest.I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.“Good!Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest.Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…

This is a story of everyone.The tree is our parent.When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad… When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy.You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.很久以前有一棵苹果树。一个小男孩每天都喜欢来到树旁玩耍。他爬到树顶，吃苹果，在树荫里打盹……他爱这棵树，树也爱和他一起玩。

随着时间的流逝，小男孩长大了。他不再到树旁玩耍了。

一天，男孩回到树旁，看起来很悲伤。“来和我玩吧！”树说。

“我不再是小孩了，我不会再到树下玩耍了。”男孩答到，“我想要玩具，我需要钱来买。”

“很遗憾，我没有钱……但是你可以采摘我的所有苹果拿去卖。这样你就有钱了。”男孩很兴奋。他摘掉树上所有的苹果，然后高兴地离开了。自从那以后男孩没有回来。树很伤心。

一天，男孩回来了，树非常兴奋。“来和我玩吧。”树说。“我没有时间玩。我得为我的家庭工作。我们需要一个房子来遮风挡雨，你能帮我吗？”很遗憾，我没有房子。但是，你可以砍下我的树枝来建房。“因此，男孩砍下所有的树枝，高高兴兴地离开了。

看到他高兴，树也很高兴。但是，自从那时起男孩没再出现，树有孤独，伤心起来。

突然，在一个夏日，男孩回到树旁，树很高兴。“来和我玩吧！”树说。

“我很伤心，我开始老了。我想去航海放松自己。你能不能给我一条船？” “用我的树干去造一条船，你就能航海了，你会高兴的。”于是，男孩砍倒树干去造船。他航海去了，很长一段时间未露面。

许多年后男孩终于回来了。“很遗憾，我的孩子，我再也没有任何东西可以给你了。没有苹果给你……”树说。“我没有牙齿啃。” 男孩答到。“没有树干供你爬。”“现在我老了，爬不上去了。” 男孩说。“我真的想把一切都给你……我唯一剩下的东西是快要死去的树墩。” 树含着眼泪说。“现在，我不需要什么东西，只需要一个地方来休息。经过了这些年我太累了。”男孩答到。“太好了！老树墩就是倚着休息的最好地方。过来，和我一起坐下休息吧。” 男孩坐下了，树很高兴，含泪而笑……

这是一个发生在每一个人身上的故事。那棵树就像我们的父母。我们小的时候，喜欢和爸爸妈妈玩……长大后，便离开他们，只有在我们需要父母亲，或是遇到了困难的时候，才会回去找他们。尽管如此，父母却总是有求必应，为了我们的幸福，无私地奉献自己的一切。你也许觉得那个男孩很残忍，但我们何尝不是这样呢？

美国总统林肯所作的著名的盖茨堡演说

Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.We are met on a great battlefield of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,----that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion,----that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,----that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,----and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.英语演讲开场方式欣赏

Today I come to Oslo as a trustee, inspired and with renewed dedication to humanity;I accept this prize on behalf of all men who loved peace and brotherhood.I say I come as a trustee, for in the depths of my heart I am aware that this prize is much more than an honor to me personally.今天，我以受托人的身份来到奥斯陆，心情激动，充满了献身人类的新勇气。我代表所有热爱和平与兄弟情谊的人们接受这个奖。我之所以以受托人的身份来到这里，是因为，在我的内心深处，我意识到这个奖决不仅仅是我个人的荣誉。

The road of history is not level and smooth all along.Sometimes the path will come to a dangerous and difficult place.It is only with the valiant and gallant spirit of the travelers that it can be passed through.The vast and mighty Yangtzi River, when it comes to an endless, broad plain, will flow ten thousand miles in a rapid current.But as it reaches a narrow valley with high ranges of mountains, cliffs and precipices on both sides, which look dangerously steep, the river has to force its way through them in a winding, tortuous course.The same is the case with the developing course of a nation's history.The history of human race is like going on a journey.Some of the places the traveler passes through are smooth and level pianos, and others are dangerous and rugged paths.The experienced travelers, when they moved on to a broad, level road, will naturally walk along with a light heart, but while they are passing through a rugged place they will all the more be seized with curiosity, and in such an extremely fantastic and magnificent realm, will all the more feel a sort of pleasure in an adventure.历史的道路，不总是平坦的，有时会变得艰难险阻。这只能靠英勇无畏的精神才能够冲过去。

一条浩浩荡荡的长江大河，有时流到很宽阔的境界，一望无际，一泻千里。有时流到很逼狭的境界，两岸丛山叠岭，绝壁断崖，江河流于其间，曲折迂回，极为险峻。民族生命的进展，其历程亦复如是。

人类在历史上的生活正如旅行一样。旅途上的征人所经过的地方有时是坦荡平原，有时是崎岖险路。老于旅途的人，走到平坦的地方固是高高兴兴地向前走，走到崎岖的境界，愈是奇趣横生，觉得在此奇艳壮绝的境界，愈能感得一种冒险的美趣。

My fellow and my friends;Once I read a piece of news report.It says, “A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day.His brother, whose age excelled school age, was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother's pencil at his side.Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully, his little eyes were winking, and said to his brother seriously, ”When will it thirty-second, brother?“ The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile, ”What are you going to do on that thirty-second?“ ”Papa promised me to send me to school,“ said his younger brother.His brother, the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles.My God!My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling.They were exhausted.How could they afford my younger brother's schooling? Oh, thirty-second...My dear friends, hearing this, didn't you feel sorry for them? We share the same native land, the same blue sky under the sun.Why cannot they be given lesson at school, sitting in the bright and big classroom? We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country.But now the country's fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough.What should we do? It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.同胞们，朋友们：

我曾看过这样一则报道：”某边远山区一个中学生，一天在家复习功课，一旁的已过入学年龄的小弟弟拿他的铅笔在纸上写着、涂着、画着，突然若有所思地仰起小脸，眨巴几下小眼睛，认真地问：'哥哥，什么时候才到32号呀？'这位中学生看看天真的小弟弟，笑着逗他：'32号你要干啥？''爸爸说，到32号才能送我去上学。'中学生望着可爱的小弟弟，内心针扎般难受：天哪，父母为了供自己上学，整日操劳，身体都累垮了，哪还有能力再送弟弟上学？啊！32号......"

朋友们，当你听了这个故事，你不感到痛心吗？同在一片故土上，同在一片蓝天下，为什么他们不能坐在宽敞明亮的教室里去读书？我们常说：国家要振兴，教育须先行。而我国的财力、物力都不宽裕，怎么办？这就需要全社会的人齐心协力为国家分忧，为国家出力！

The life I desired

我所追求的生活

威廉.萨姆塞特.毛姆/William Somerset Maugham

That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life of life it offers has a homely grace.It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vastly sea;but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss.I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.In my heart was desire to live more dangerously.I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous, shoals it I could only have change-change and the excitement of unforeseen.这一定是世间无数对夫妻的生活写照，这种生活模式给人一种天伦之美。它使人想起一条平静的溪流，蜿蜒畅游过绿茵的草场，浓荫遮蔽，最后注入烟波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太过平静，太过沉默，太过不动声色，你会突然感到莫名的不安。也许这只是我自己的一种怪诞想法，在那样的时代，这想法对我影响很深：我觉得这像大多数人一样的生活，似乎欠缺了一点儿什么。我承认这种生活有社会价值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的冲动却渴望一种更桀骜不驯的旅程．这样的安逸中好像有一种叫我惊惧不安的东西．我的心渴望一种更加惊险的生活。只要生活中还能有变迁———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁满布的海滩

Just a Little Bit More(再努力一点点)Lots of people lose hope at the so-called 11th hour1.In sports terms, we say that they lose hope just before the finishing line.xiaogushi8.com They don’t think that they can be winners in life, but the truth is they can.很多人在“最后关头”丧失了希望。在体育领域这个词是指人们在靠近终点线的前一刻放弃了希望。他们认为自己无法赢得生活的精彩,但事实上,他们可以。

The 11th hour is the point when most people feel the pain.It is an important moment that decides whether you succeed or not.Champions always put in extra effort to become winners and succeed.Those who don’t put in extra effort leave the race with nothing.All they need to win the race is a little extra effort at that last point.This is the difference between winners and losers.大多数人往往在“最后关头”会感到痛苦。但这是一个决定你能否成功的关键时刻。成为冠军的人往往会再加一把劲儿从而最终成为胜利者。而那些没有坚持到最后的人却一无所获地离开赛场。其实他们获得成功只需要在最后时刻再付出那么一点点努力。这就是胜者与败者的区别。

I know you have the ability to be a champion.The race will not be easy, but it can be won.You need to put in extra effort when trying to achieve your goal.Just do a little bit more.This is what will separate you from others who seek to be where you are.When you want to give up or slow down because you feel tired, try to keep on going until you reach the finishing line.You can do it because you still have strength within you.我相信你有能力成为冠军。比赛是不轻松,但你同样可以赢得胜利。为了达成目标你需要不懈努力。再多付出一点点。而这将把你与其他人区分开,这将决定你是否能成为冠军。当你因为疲惫而想到放弃或减速慢行的时候,试着再努力一次,努力坚持到终点线。你可以做到,因为你自身拥有强大的力量。

It’s a new day今天又是新的一天

Yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day!In your mind, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the places you intend to go, the relationships1 you desire to develop and the positions you aspire to reach.是的,今天是新的一天,今天是与众不同的一天,今天是阳光明媚的一天。在你心里,你梦寐以求的东西,你渴望到达的地方,你想要发展的关系,你渴望得到的职位,都清晰可见。

You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed!And you are confident;you are passionate;you are committed!你知道,只要你有信心、有激情,肯下决心,所有这些都能实现。此刻你充满信心,满怀激情,跃跃欲试吗？永远都不要放弃对美好的追求。

You will never waver in your pursuit.After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best!As your friend, duanwenw.com I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will be open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand.You must do your part, you must follow the plans you make and take action as you plan, you must never stop, and you must never fear.因为你是最棒的,而且你应该是最棒的！作为你的朋友,我敢肯定,通向所有美好事物的门都会向你打开,然而开启这扇门的钥匙却把握在你的手中。你必须尽职尽责,忠实履行自己的计划,并将它们付诸行动。不要退缩,不要恐惧。

I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it and you will succeed!Now stand firm and tall, get excited and shout it out: “I must do it!I can do it!I will do it!I will succeed!” 我知道你必须、应该,也一定会这样做而且你一定会成功！坚定而自信地站起来,用激扬的声音告诉所有人:“我必须成功！我能成功！我一定会成功！” 我是我自己的阳光I Am My Sunshine It’s all right to believe that someone brings sunshine into your life.That someone might have enough to spread around.But, if you really have to wait for someone else to be your sunshine, your good feelings, then you might wait for a long time.Now is the time to be of good cheer, this very moment.Don’t wait for anyone else to determine your mood.You have completely control4 of your own disposition5.You have the choice.There is no other way.Your present moment of good cheer will carry you to the next, and you will be in control of that moment also.You are worth6 having good.Go for it!

相信会有一个人把阳光带进你的生活中是可以的。那个人也许会有足够的东西去四处传播。但是,如果你真的要等别人带给你阳光,带给你美好的感受,那你也许要等上很长的时间。

现在是时候欢呼了,就在这一刻。不要等待别人来左右你的情绪。你可以完全控制你的性情。你有这个选择。没有其他别的办法。

你这一刻的欢呼会带你走到下一刻,你也将会把握住那一刻。你值得拥有美好的事物。去争取吧！

追随你的梦想 follow your dream

Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart.Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you.Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them.Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you’ve made, have faith in your judgment, catch the star that twinkles in your heart, and it will lead you to your destiny’s duanwenw.com path.Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams.Understand that you may make mistakes, but don’t let them discourage you.Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique.The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination.追随能够改变你命运的那颗星，那颗永远在你心中闪烁的明星。当它在你面前闪耀时，抓住这宝贵的机会。请谨记，只要你坚持不懈，最终的目标总能实现。

尽管实现梦想的途中有时会遇到障碍，要知道这是命运对你的挑战。不是每个人都会赞成你的选择，接受这个现实，并相信自我的判断，追随那颗在你心中闪烁的明星，它会引领你踏上命运的征途。坚持不懈，你就能享受那些幸福时刻。

每前进一步，你都应引以为豪，因为它们是你实现梦想的阶梯。要知道在这个过程中你也许会犯错误，但不要气馁。珍视自我的潜能，因为它们使你独一无二。生命中最珍贵的礼物不是花钱买来的，而是通过努力和决心而获取的。

第五篇：5分钟英语演讲小短文

smiling i think smiling is as important as sunshine.smiling is like sunshine because it can make people happy and have a good day.if you aren?t happy, you can smile, and then you will feel happy.someone may say, “but i don?t feel happy.” then i would say, “please smile as you do when you are happy or play with your friends happily.you will really be happy again.”

smiling can let you have more friends.so i say, smiling is like a flower.it will give you happiness.微笑

我认为微笑是一样重要的象阳光。微笑是象阳光，因为它可能使人愉快和有一个早晨好。如果您不是愉快的，您能微笑，您然后将感觉愉快。某人也许说，“但是我不感到愉快”。然后我会说，“请微笑，您，当您愉快地是愉快或戏剧与您的朋友。您真正地再将是愉快的”。

微笑可能让您有更多朋友。如此我说，微笑是象花。它将给您幸福。how to get happiness 如何获得快乐

there is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world.without it, life will be empty and meaningless.if you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.first, health is the secret of happiness(the key to happiness).only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.secondly, happiness consists in contentment.a man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.无疑的快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚的而且毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐，你须注意下面两点。健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。industry(diligence)勤勉

it is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck.i am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do.this is unchangeable truth.idleness is the opposite of industry.it is the source of all evil.an idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures.that he is doomed to failure is of no doubt.we should not follow his example.勤勉会带给我们成功，财富和好运乃是当然之事。我确信一个苦干的人终是能够做成功他所要做的工作。这是不易之定理。懒惰是勤勉的反面。它是万恶之源泉。一个懒惰的人只享受玩耍和寻乐。他命运注定失败是毫无疑问的。我们不应学他的榜样。whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，有一座无线电台，它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就会年轻多长时间。friends 朋友

a true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.真正的朋友是一个可以援手帮助并感动你心扉的人。

theres always going to be people that hurt you, so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.别人常常伤害你，所以你该继续付出信任，并小心挑选你下次信任的人。make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.在你想了解别人也想让别人了解你之前，先完善并了解自己。remember: whatever happens, happens for a reason.要记住：任何事情的发生都有因有起。

how many people actually have 8 true friends? hardly anyone i know.but some of us have all right friends and good friends.有多少人可以拥有八个真正的朋友？就我所知少之又少。但我们会有泛泛之交和好友。love your life 热爱生活

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活。不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

尽管有很多事让人忧虑，但相比而言，值得感激的事要多得多。尽管生命的美好有时被蒙上阴影，但它却永远不会被埋没。相对于每一个无谓的破坏行为而言，都有更多数以千计更为微小的，包含着爱，友善和同情的举动静静地上演着。相对于每一个试图伤害他人的人而言，都有更多的人致力于帮助他人，治愈他人的创伤。生命的美好不能否认。在最为壮观的前景和最为琐碎的细节中，请仔细观察，因为美好的事物总是散发着耀眼的光芒闪亮登场。生命的美好没有界限。每一次相遇都会使这美好变得越发丰富。你经历得越多，越能欣赏生命的美好，生命中的美好就会变得越多。即使当寒风袭来，整个世界似乎被雾气掩盖之时，生命的美好仍会存在。睁开双眼，打开心扉，你就会发现这美好无处不在。尽管生命的美好有时似乎遭受挫折，但它总会挺过来。因为，在最黑暗的时刻，有一点变得格外清楚，那就是，生命是无价的财富。因此，下正是与生命的美好相对立的事物使其越发强大。无数次地，当你担心这美好已经远离之时，你会发现生命的美好其实只与你相隔须臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每个时刻之间，等着给你惊喜。花些时间让生命的美好感动自己的灵魂，放松自己的思绪。然后，把你的幸运与他人分享。因为生命的美好会在每次给予之间变得越来越壮观。尽管总是有问题让你去关注，冲突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命的美好却总是静静地，平和地，带着比以往更强的意志和更多的价值变得更加强大。篇二：3-5分钟英语演讲稿(30篇)最好英语演讲稿汇总3——5分钟英语演讲稿汇总（30篇）

六、周怡雪，19岁，上海 i believe in our future honorable judges, fellow students: good afternoon!recently, ther is a heated debate in our society.the college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places.but will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country? the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades;and we neglect the need for character cultivation.but again, the cynics are wrong.we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth.last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives.we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country.i believe in all my fellow classmates.though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish.i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities.we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place.i believe in our future.我对未来充满信心

尊敬的评委，各位同学：

下午好！

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

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

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

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

大学生英语演讲稿17 change the ingredients of your life

十七、王晨，20岁，安徽

change the ingredients of your life if kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy.if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges.and hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.改变生活的味道

这是一杯白开水，平淡无味，对吧？可是加上点糖呢，他尝起来会有甜味；如果加的是苏打水，味道就会变苦。人生同样如此——个中滋味在于我们的选择。

善待他人，你会拥有朋友；但如果充满恶意，则会多个敌人。将爱赋予一堆红砖，你会拥有一个家；用仇恨来浇铸这堆红砖，就会铸成一座集中营。

因此亲爱的朋友们，不要抱怨人生乏味，世间无望。不喜欢生活的味道，那就换一换生活的调料吧！

三年前，我重达100多公斤，这给我带来了很多尴尬和挫折：体育课老是不及格，总被女孩们嘲笑，更不敢当众发表意见。幸而由于祖母的鼓励，我不在消极人生，而是充满自信。她曾经说过：“孩子，如果体形无法改变，为什么不把它看做自己独特的风格呢？” 我开始这样来审视人生，通过改变生活的视角，我信心大增地去改变我的人生，很快就发现一个崭新的世界。

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

十六、杨颖，21岁，海南

when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other.when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture.then there are certain things some people may not like.to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it.to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge.before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures.at present, they may run in different courses.but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow!thank you!让我们共同感受东西方的融合

吉卜林说过:东方是东方，西方是西方，二者永不相聚。但是一个世纪后的今天，东西方相汇了!它们相聚在经济领域，它们相聚在教育领域，它们相聚在艺术的殿堂。有人争论说:这种融合需要我们在东方和西方之间做出选择，但我却坚信最美好的未来在于东方和

西方创造性的融合。我们可以将西方的思想，观念和技术变为我们自己所用的东西。我喜爱京剧和河南豫剧，因为它们经常使我想起自己是谁。但我也热衷于流行音乐，特别是英文歌曲。于是我将东方的旋律和西方的语言结合到了一起，它叫做西方版的河南豫剧。

当两种文化相结合的时候，也许一方的文化中的某些东西不适应另一方的传统文化。当此种情况出现时，我们需要试着理解并接受另一种文化中的风俗习惯。然而，也许有些东西你并不喜欢，对于此，我可以说，如果你不喜欢它，请试着去容忍它。当两种文化融合的时候，试着去容忍你个人不喜欢的东西是一种美德。

在我们面前有两条河流，东方文化和西方文化。现在，它们也许正朝着不同的方向流去。但是最终它们将汇合到人类文化的海洋里。

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

十五、黄扬，21，福建 farewell, indifference who was the most well-known figure in china last month? it’s ma jiajue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates.many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education.in my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society.it’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other.it’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all.it’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.some people may say ‘what the students with psychological problems like ma jiajue need is not care but psychotherapy.” however, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them.every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.篇三：1分钟英语演讲短文 1分钟英语演讲短文

第一天：the newspaper 报 纸

nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value everybody should read it.it supplies us with a variety of news every day.it tells us the political situation of the world.if we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall(will)get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances.现今报纸拥有极大的价值，人人都应该看它。它每天提供我们各种类类的消息。它告诉我们世界政治局势。如果我们养成看报的习惯，我们就能得到足够的知识来因应我们的环境。学生虽然每天须做功课，但他们至少应该匀出一两个小时来看报。哪些，他们不但能增加知识而且也能赶上时代。总而言之，看报对学生很有益处。

第二天：my daily life 我的日常生活

though my daily life is extremely monotonous, i try hard to adapt myself to it.why? because i intend to be a good student.i wish to render service to my country.i get up at six o’clock every day.after i wash my face and brush my teeth, i begin to review my lessons.i go to school at seven o’clock.after school is over, i return home.we usually have supper at seven o’clock.then i begin to do my homework.i want to finish it before i go to bed.虽然我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么？因为我打算做一个好学生，希望将来为国家服务。

我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上学。

放学后，我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。

第三天：a model student 模范学生

however, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing.first, he must do his best to obtain knowledge.a man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed.secondly, he must remember to improve his health.only a strong man can do great tasks.thirdly, he should receive moral education.if his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.你价意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。就我所知，每个人都打算做模范学生。

然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识（求知）。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。

第四天：how to get happiness 如何获得快乐

there is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world.without it, life will be empty and meaningless.if you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.first, health is the secret of happiness(the key to happiness).only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.secondly, happiness consists in contentment.a man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.无疑的快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚的而且毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐，你须注意下面两点。

健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。

快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。

第五天：books 书籍

as is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things.they increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character.in other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends.this is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books.it is true that we can derive benefits from good books.however, bad books will do us more harm than good.如众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。

读书是一好事，但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。

第六天：a trip to the country 乡村游记

one sunday my mother(mother)had(made)me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country.she bade me take good care of him.while we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently.we saw the beautiful flowers smile(smiling)at us and heard the birds sing(singing)their sweet songs on the trees.the scenery was indeed very pretty(beautiful).when we felt tired, we returned home.we saw mother(our mother)wait(waiting)for us at the door.有一个星期日，我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历。她吩咐我要好好照料他。

当我们沿着道路行走的时候，太阳灿烂地照耀着，微风轻轻地吹着。我们看见美丽的花儿对我们微笑着，并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的歌曲，风景实十分美丽。

当我们感觉到疲倦的时候，我们就回家了。我们看见母样正在门口等候我们。

第七天：be patriotic 要爱国

how can a student love his country(be patriotic)? i find my answer very simple and clear.he must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his(the)country in the future.if every student can do according to what i said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了达到此目的，必须爱国。我认为这是一条不易的定理。一个学生如何才能爱国呢？我发觉答复很简单明了。他必须用功读书并积储知识以便将来服务国家。如果每个学生能按照我所说的去做，国家一定会富强。

第八天：the value of time 爱惜时光

an english proverb says that time is money.i consider it(this)wrong.why? because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time(in anyway).for this reason, we may(can)say that time is more valuable than money.many people do not know the value of time.it(this)is indeed a great pity.we must bear(keep)in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.英国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。

许多人不知爱惜时光。这确实是可惜的。我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命。第九天：why should we study english 为什么我们要学英文

if you want to ask me why we should study english, my answer will be simple and clear.now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following.in the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and magazines are written in english.if you wish(hope)to get knowledge, you must learn english.如果你要问我们为什么我们要学英文。我的答复很简单明了。现在让我来把我的理由一一列举在下面：

英文已成为一种国际语言。如果你通晓它，你可以环游世界不会被人误解。

大多数有价值的书籍，报纸和杂志都是用英文写的。如果你希望获得知识，你必须学习英文。第十天：my birthday 我的生日

the tea party began at half past six.there were cold drinks and refreshments.we ate, talked and laughed.we felt that we were the happiest men in the world.time passed quickly.in a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine.we could not but say ―good-bye‖ to one another.昨天是我生日，所以有几位我的同班同学送我礼。母亲给我准备一个茶会。我邀请他们都前来参加。

茶会下午六点半开始。有冷饮和点心。我们又吃又谈又笑。我们觉得是世界上最快乐的人。时间过得很快。转瞬间，墙上的钟敲九点了。我们不得不互道再见。

第十一天：how to spend sundays 如何消度星期日

some of us always spend sundays aimlessly.we can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours(time)of sundays.this is indeed a great pity.though sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.we know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient.we should often utilize sundays to read reference books.in this way we will increase our knowledge.besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.我们许多人终是把星期日毫无目的地消度掉。这确实是十分可惜。我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得益处。虽然星期日是被指定为一个休息的日子，但是我们却应好好利用它。我们知道我们学校的功课通常是不够的。我们应时常利用星期日来阅读参考书。如此我们的知识就会增加了。此外，我们必须从事运动或郊游以便强壮我们的身体。

第十二天：honesty is the best policy 诚为上策

there is an english proverb which says(saying)―honesty is the best policy.‖ it signifies the importance of honesty.there is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here.in a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and(be)regarded as a public enemy.英国有一句谚语说“诚为上策”。它说明了诚的重要性。

诚的益处是什么？如果你对他人诚实，他们也会对你诚实作为报答。当你忧悉的时候，他们会安慰你。当你是处在困难中的时候，他们会帮助你。

无法在这里数述不诚实的害处。一言以蔽之，一个不诚实的人会被人看轻的而且被看作为一个公敌。

第十三天：how exercise helps 运动的利益

if our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull.and at the same time, we are lack of energy(ies)to study.diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong.why are our bodies not strong? because we do not pay attention to exercise.for this reason, we students must often take different kinds(sorts)of exercise in the gym.exercise helps us(to)strengthen our bodies and avoid disease.it also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.如果我们的身体不强壮，我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同时，我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只为侵击体弱的人而不是强壮的人。

为什么我们的身体会不强壮呢？因为我们不注意运动。基于此种理由，我们学生必须时常在运动场做不同种类的运动。

运动帮助我们强壮身体并避免疾病。它也教我们合作，因为大多数的运动都是团体游玩的。第十四天：the benefits of traveling 旅行的益处

i am always interested in traveling.my reasons are quite(extremely)simple and clear.if anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint(s), i shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.in the first place, traveling increases our knowledge.only by traveling can we see（因为用（only）开头，主动词须颠倒）things outside our home town.in the second place, traveling is good to our health.while we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.in conclusion, i earnestly hope that everybody must seize(grasp at)the opportunity of traveling.我对旅行终是感觉有趣。我的理由非常简单时了。如果任何人对我的观点不满意的话，我将对他的想法会大大吃惊。

旅行增加我们的知识。只有藉旅行我们可以看到我们故乡以外的东西。

旅行对我们的健康有益。当我们旅行的时候，我们通常运动我们的身体。

第十五天：how to be a good citizen 如何做一个好公民

the first duty of a good citizen is to love his country.he is to(must)be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.his second duty is to obey the law and help the government(to)maintain order.if everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong(powerful).我的志向是做一个好公民以便能给国家效力。然而，做一个好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有许多责任要尽。

一个好公民第一件责任是爱他的国家。他须准备为国家牺牲自己的生命。

他第二件责任是服从法律并且帮助政府维持治安。如果人人都能这样做的话，国家必定富强。第十六天：the national flag 国旗

it is the duty of every citizen to honor the national flag.why? because the national flag is the symbol of a(the)country.to respect it means to respect the country.in other words, if a man loves his country, he must love the national flag.in school, the national flag is usually raised at a certain time every day.then the principal, teachers, staff and students are to(must)stand before it and sing the national anthem.it is indeed extremely meaningful to attend such a ceremony.尊敬国旗是每个公民的责任（义务）。为什么？因为国旗是国家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬国家。换句话说，如果一个人爱国，他必须爱国旗。

在学校里，通常每天定时要升旗。那时，校长，老师，教职员学生教师将恭敬地站在它前面并且唱国歌。参加此项仪式确实非常有意义。

第十七天：the importance of education 教育的重要性

我们不可能使我们的国家富强而不发展教育。为什么？因为教育给予人民知识并教他们如何成为好公民以便能为国家效力。难怪，有人说教育决定一个国家的进步，繁荣与文化。现在世界大多数的国家都在实施强迫教育。所有各类人民不论贫富都必须接受教育。台湾也不例外。

第十八天：industry(diligence)勤勉

it is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck.i am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do.this is unchangeable truth.idleness is the opposite of industry.it is the source of all evil.an idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures.that he is doomed to failure is of no doubt.we should not follow his example.勤勉会带给我们成功，财富和好运乃是当然之事。我确信一个苦干的人终是能够做成功他所要做的工作。这是不易之定理。

懒惰是勤勉的反面。它是万恶之源泉。一个懒惰的人只享受玩耍和寻乐。他命运注定失败是毫无疑问的。我们不应学他的榜样。

第十九天：my native town 我的故乡

my native town is x.we have settled down here since my grandfather was a child.in other words, my family has lived here for more than one hundred years.it is a small village.there are about one thousand inhabitants.most of them are farmers.the mode of their living is very simple.however, they have already possessed television sets and refrigerators.they made up their minds to live a modern life.我的故乡是x。我们自从祖父是小孩时，就定居在此地。换句话说，我们家人在此地已经住了一百余年了。

这个小村庄。居民大约有一千人。他们大部分是农夫。他们的生活方式很简单。然而，他们已拥有电视和冰箱。他们下定决心要过一个现代的生活。
