A Scene to Remember

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, ③the 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.Diana 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 occurbig notes, small notes or even coins-from housewives, plumbers, ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids.Some of them cannot afford to send the money but they do.These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are

suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.Why? Because they care，③Because 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 be remembered, 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 seemed 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.Diana Fossey because it is with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our eco-environment 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 minds, there's always a scene to remember, ①a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.Thank you very much.

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世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛季军——张阿旭

Two-Way Traffic Seven centuries ago, Marco Polo, after staying in our country for almost twenty years, brought the secrets of spaghetti and ice-cream with him back to Italy.More than seven hundred years later, with the prevalence of globalization, our people, our food, our products and many other items, have traveled to many other places beyond Italy.No matter where these Chinese people, Chinese food, Chinese products and many other Chinese items are, they carry with them qualities that are unique to our very own Chinese cultureMcDonald's, KFCs, soccer players and NBA players.And we are even having this prestigious national speaking competition in a language that does not belong to us.In the midst of western products pouring in China as a result of globalization, sometimes we do wonder, where does our own culture belong? When we see our younger generations going away from traditional values such as contextual and role-based ethics, ideal of community, hierarchy, paternalism and non-litigious nature of society, we may even think our traditional values are challenged and even threatened.But, are we really losing our values? Ladies and gentlemen, we must remember, the traffic of globalization is two-way.Yes, films from Hollywood, soccer from the United Kingdom and restaurants from America, do have an impact on our values.But, if we see globalization in China a synonymous term with western economic cultural hegemony, we are underestimating the impact of not only globalization but also our values.Have a look at languages.Yes, it is the desire and dream of every single Chinese to speak fluent English, including every single one of us here.But, have you ever wondered how many non-Chinese are learning Chinese? Let me tell you, by the end of 2002, nearly 30 million people from 85 countries and regions were learning standard Chinese, Putonghua.And who knows about the number of people learning regional dialects such as Shanghainese and Cantonese.In these two years, I am sure none of us here will be surprised that the number is skyrocketing.Have a look at Feng Shui, within 0.21 seconds Google brings you 1,270,000 websites about Feng Shui, not in Chinese, not from all over the world, but in English, just within the United States.And I guess some of you still remember, when the previous American president, Bill Clinton, first became president.He actually had the furniture of his office rearranged according to feng shui ideas.Have a look at traditional Chinese medicine.Four years ago, in 2001, there were already more than 120 000 traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, researchers and related business trading companies in Europe, just Europe.Our holistic approach of taking care of a person's health has been proven popular in the world.Our values, language, our Feng Shui, our traditional medicine and also Kung Fu that I have not really talked about, are all parts and messengers of our culture and values.What does their success in the west tell us? Their popularity tells us that, alongside cheap consumer products, we are exporting to the west, Chinese beliefs and, values.Ladies and gentlemen, globalization, yes it has its impacts on our values.It is sending our values overseas and bringing in new ones.Let's not see the bringing in of new ones a threat to our own culture.As a matter of fact, the bringing in is a very good opportunity and time to rethink and reflect who we are and what we want to be.It is upon us whether globalization has a positive or negative impact on our traditional values.Ladies and gentlemen, I see this positively, I know even if our traditional values are changing or to change, the change is for better, not for worse.Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛亚军——张京

The Impact of Globalization on Traditional Chinese Values Good morning, ladies and gentlemen: Before western and Chinese civilization came into close contact, Chinese people had always longed for a life depicted in traditional Chinese paintings.Those paintings present a harmonious coexistence of people and other life forms.Regarded as the essence of ancient Chinese philosophies, harmony has been deeply-rooted in the minds of the Chinese people.On the one hand, it has contributed to the unique continuity of Chinese civilization.On the other, Chinese people became too much contented with their achievements to desire any further changes.As globalization deepens, it is bound to affect our ideal of harmony.First, globalization urges China to speed up its modernization, which threatens our regard for the harmony between Man and Nature.For instance, many dams and hydropower stations are being built for economic benefits at the expense of the well-preserved natural habitats.However, ecological malpractice of such kind goes against the notion of harmonious coexistence in ancient Chinese philosophies.More than 2,000 years ago, long before the concept of environmental protection came into being, DuJiang Weir, a great irrigation project was built in southwestern China's Sichuan province.It succeeded both in controlling floods and in facilitating the agriculture without posing a threat to the environment.Moreover, globalization has brought with it intense competition.Traditionally, moderation is a golden principle, presiding over inter-personal relations in China.Today, however, motivated to come to the top, some people become so self-centered that they choose to sacrifice love, friendship and even family ties.Last but not least, diverse cultures have met in China as a consequence of globalization.Therefore, a clash of cultures becomes inevitable.Unfortunately, the past decades have witnessed a huge loss of cultural heritage in China.In cities like Beijing and Xi'an, hundreds of century-old Chinese-style houses are being demolished to make room for skyscrapers, shopping malls and eight-lane expressways.From these examples, we see the disharmony brought about by globalization.Yet it is not globalization that is to blame.As long as we approach globalization with harmony in mind, its benefit will outweigh its cost.Take my hometown, Hangzhou, for example, thanks to the strenuous efforts made by the municipal government in achieving eco-development, various water birds have returned to the West Lake, calling it home again after years of migration elsewhere.From the lake bank, we see skateboarders and trick cyclists showing off together with people flying kites and kicking shuttlecocks on the plaza nearby.Although they compose a picture quite distinct from traditional Chinese paintings, this picture conveys a modern sense of harmony in this era of globalization.Ladies and gentlemen, to conclude, I would like to quote from British philosopher Bertrand Russell.In contrasting Chinese and Western civilizations, he observed: “The distinctive merit of western civilization is the scientific method;the distinctive merit of the Chinese is a just conception of the ends of life.It is these two that one must hope to see gradually uniting.” As we see the tremendous progress China has been making drawing on experience abroad, we may also expect the Chinese traditional value of harmony to enrich the world.I look forward to the time when Russell's prophecy comes true.Thank you very much.第十届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——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 第七届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——孙宁

1981年生于南京。1993年考取南京外国语学校，其间获全国中学生英语能力竞赛和中澳国际英语能力竞赛高中组特等奖。1999年保送北京外国语大学英语系学习，其间获“21世纪·爱立信杯”第七届全国英语演讲比赛冠军并出版译作三本。2003年8月入外交部翻译室工作，次年9月公派赴英国留学。Globalization: Challenges and Opportunities for China's Younger Generation Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen: Today I'm very happy to be here to share with you some of my thoughts on the topic of Globalization.And first of all, I would like to mention an event in our recent history.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.” Ever since then, China and America have exchanged many handshakes of various kinds.The fundamental implication of this example is that the need and desire 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's economy, and diplomats and politicians 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 globalization is the echo of E.M.Forster's words, “Only connect!” With the IT revolution taking place, traditional boundaries of human society fall away.Our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshed into a 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 into 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 the 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 developed nations to swallow the developing nations' wealth in debts and interest.Globalization, they argue, should be about an earnest 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 place 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 enjoying 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.And, 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.And this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.Thank you.英语演讲稿范文：Crossing the Sea 穿越海洋[双

专家点评:引用文学大师的诗句作为开场白，与结束语首尾呼应，颇有感染力。东西方文化的融合表现得十分鲜明，意味深长，是篇优秀的演讲。

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech today is “Crossing the Sea”.An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in this poem “We and They” :

All the people like us are We

and everyone else is They

We live over the sea

While They live over the way

We eat pork and beef with cow horn-handled knives

They who gobble their rice off a leaf

Are horrified out of their lives.When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked--how could two people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as example;Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality.Just look around.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government? How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any Westerner as incredible in the past!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before.We live in a particular era when countries, East and West, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values.We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.It is my happiest dream that new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca cola and watching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again:

All the people like us are We

And everyone else is They

But once you cross over the sea

You will end by looking on We

As only a sort of They.Thank you.译文:穿越海洋

女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。

英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道:

像我们的人是我们

其余的人是他们

我们生活在海这边

他们生活在路那边

我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉

吞吃粽叶包饭的他们

吓得要死。

第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景

:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着

迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。

然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙

而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。

不久以前，大学生还只是束手空坐，等待政府给他们分配工作;如今，又有多少大学生正在做充分准备，为争取任

何工作机会而激烈角逐?

20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来，今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加

演讲比赛的诸位，谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下心来赢得这场比赛以实现自我?如今年轻人毫无顾

忌地宣泄情感当众亲吻，我确信，倘若孔子在世，他必被吓坏。

很明显，我们这些东方古老文明的后裔们早已生活在西方文化的强烈影响之下，然而出现这种异质文化合流的

现象不止是在中国。

以美国为例，20世纪80年代，面对来自日本的强大竞争压力，许多美国公司如福特公司开始采用对手的集体合作

管理方式，而这种方式正是东方文化核心之精华。

再以中华针灸为例，这种传统的医疗方法以及这种疗法的依据——即人体阴阳失调导致疾病最终得到西方社会的

承认，而在过去，西方人还认为这是无稽之谈。

女士们，先生们，我们恰逢一个伟大的时代:全球经济一体化、信息革命使得世界各种文化联系比以往更加紧密;

我们恰逢一个特殊的年代:无论是东方国家还是西方国家都意识到自身急需调整传统价值。与此同时，我们正生活在发

展的关键时刻:种族冲突，地区动荡正越来越威胁着整个人类的和平与幸福。如何对待这一时代，拥抱更加灿烂的未来，我们需要学会在越来越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。

亲爱的同学们，我们掌握英语，得以了解西方文化，与此同时，又不失本民族的文化特征。

因此，促进中国与世界的文化交流与相互理解是我们神圣的责任。

我有一个美好的梦想，我梦想中国的年轻一代不仅仅在喝可口可乐、看好莱坞影片中成长，而且还受益于我们的

父辈所从未梦想过的多元文化所带来的深远影响。

最后，再次以罗得雅德·吉卜林的诗作为我此次演讲的结尾:

像我们的人是我们

其余的人是他们

然而一旦你们穿洋越海

就不会再把我们

看做仅仅是他们。

谢谢。

Globalization entails questions that concern us all.Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoying 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.And, 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.And this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.Thank you.英语演讲稿范文：Crossing the Sea 穿越海洋[双

专家点评:引用文学大师的诗句作为开场白，与结束语首尾呼应，颇有感染力。东西方文化的融合表现得十分鲜明，意味深长，是篇优秀的演讲。

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.The title of my speech today is ”Crossing the Sea“.An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in this poem ”We and They" :

All the people like us are We

and everyone else is They

We live over the sea

While They live over the way

We eat pork and beef with cow horn-handled knives

They who gobble their rice off a leaf 45

Are horrified out of their lives.When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked--how could two people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture.Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.Indeed, just take China as example;Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in Apple Jeans.However, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.What is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality.Just look around.How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government? How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest.Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the Western culture.But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the 46 Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.Take the Chinese acupuncture as another example: This traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the West and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any Westerner as incredible in the past!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before.We live in a particular era when countries, East and West, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values.We live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.To cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller.My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.It is my happiest dream that new generation of Chinese will not only grow up drinking Coca cola and watching Hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.To end my speech, I would like to quote Rudyard Kipling again: All the people like us are We.And everyone else is They.But once you cross over the sea.You will end by looking on We.As only a sort of They.Thank you.47

第四篇：21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛心得

21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛心得——演讲非常道（1）

在本文开始前，先为玉树祈福，愿逝者安息，生者坚强。

前言

这篇文章我从两周前比赛结束就开始酝酿，算算看，已经有十几天时间，期间处理各种各样的事情。为了抓住每一个稍纵即逝的灵感，我总是先把文章的提纲写在随身笔记本上，利用零星时间思考，只要有新的想法，立即记录下来。最后经过整理，就是现在这篇心得。

我曾经说过21世纪杯是我在英语演讲比赛的谢幕演说，而这篇心得也许是我的收官之作，至少短期内，不会再写有关演讲比赛的感言。所以我希望这篇文章把能够提供的建议和经历都和大家一同分享，也欢迎大家补充和指正。

演讲非常道

道可道，非常道，名可名，非常名。

万事万物都有自己的法则和规律，掌握了这些，才能走入众妙之门。

演讲也不例外，不过演讲是一个非常广泛的概念，演讲之道也是博大精深，不同的场合，不同的目标都有许多细节和惯例。所以这里我着重探讨我对英语演讲比赛之道的见解。

当今演讲比赛的结果虽然是以分数量化来进行评比，但是依然是一项受到评委主观评判影响的赛事。所以：印象非常重要，评委对你的印象其实就决定了你最终的表现。

演讲非常道的核心就是：与众不同 MAKE A DIFFERENCE

演讲比赛过程中要追求适度的标新立异，但要在评委和观众可以接受的范围内。这样无疑会使他们眼前一亮，卓尔不群、出类拔萃的表现就是源自于此。此外，与众不同绝对不是盲目的求新。过分的求异会造成叛逆和极端的印象，反而适得其反。

我曾经在一篇心得中分析成功演讲的要素，概括起来有以下几点：

战胜恐惧，目标和听众，地点，时间和长度，演讲的方式，内容，题注，语音，语调和停顿，互动，肢体语言，外表，热情，风格。这次我不再一一重复分析。只是根据我比赛的经历，挑选几点来深入分析一下如何在比赛中做到与众不同，如何领悟演讲的“非常道”。

1.比赛心态：无为，不争

我是老子的忠实“粉丝”，文章第一句话出自老子《道德经》的第一句。中国古代士人最常见的人生态度是外儒内道：一方面儒家的影响，采取积极入世的态度，以天下为己任，以功业为目标；另一方面道家的熏陶，适时采取超然通达的人生态度，顺应自然而不刻意强求。儒家的思想入世，道家的思想出世，“穷则独善其身，达则兼善天下”，在变动不拘的人生中左右逢源，洒脱自在，始终不失精神依托。

比赛也是如此，能够参加比赛的人，英语演讲的水平肯定也是一流的，最后就在于能否通过心态把调适状态调整到最佳。

比赛本质就是竞争，大多数人都是为了获奖而来，纷纷争先恐后，想要一决雌雄。这种态度最为普遍，也最容易造成心理压力，影响发挥。

我过去也是这种心态，雄心壮志，年少轻狂，欲于群雄试比高。后来逐渐淡化这种心理，竞争必不可少，不过是与自己竞争而与别人合作的方式更值得提倡。我相信只要我每次都比过去有所进步，就会达到预期的目标。山外有山，总会有人比我强，何必一味去和别人争？把竞争内化，其实可以缓解很多压力，同时可以专注自己的修为，不知不觉，你已经在众人之上。这就是不争。

而且来广州之前，我就已经开始计划这次自己大学期间最后一次英语演讲比赛了。不管结果如何，都是一个句点。所以我告诉自己，完成每天的训练计划，不加重负担，不节外生枝，遵循方法功到自然成——这就是无为。

我飞到羊城比赛，唯一携带的书就是《道德经》。在被“隔离”的时光，我除了看看讲稿，练书法，写诗，就是阅读道德经，不仅是因为我的总决赛讲稿阐释的进退之道的思想，而且老子的文字抽象深邃能使人静心思考。我的心态是在无为和不争中追求与众不同。赛后很多人问我为什么21世纪杯全国总冠军没有获得“最具潜力奖”，没有奔赴伦敦参加世界英语演讲比赛？其实原因很简单，颁奖的时候比赛主办方就告诉我，因为我的年龄超过了国际比赛的要求，因此这个奖项和机会留给亚军。在参加比赛前，我就已经在参赛邀请函中看到国际比赛的年龄要求，当时我就已经知道是不可能为国出征，参赛的心态也很淡定。如今结果已经是冠军，何必再去抱怨或者遗憾。万事都有安排，顺势而为，知足常乐，潇洒自在，我还是这种心态。也祝福亚军比赛顺利。

2.内容主旨：另辟蹊径

内容是演讲的核心，虽然不是第一印象，却决定了最终印象。文以载道，文章就应该阐释一个道理，而演讲比赛的文章中就是要挖掘一个与众不同的道理。我在比赛中一直力求观点上另辟蹊径，想别人想不到的，说别人没有说的。比如在在省决赛，我通过个人投资经验和专业背景提出了三条理财建议；全国半决赛主题是“面对中国在全球发展中的新挑战和新机遇”，我从可持续发展的问题引入公益创投(Social Entrepreneurship)，这是我在剑桥学习创业学时阅读到的理论；全国总决赛谈体育启迪人生，我把马拉松途中快慢的节奏提升为人生进退之道(The Rhythm of Life)，这是受到道家思想的熏陶。我个人在内容上的求新主要来自两个方面：

第一是我的专业，金融专业需要我日常阅读很多政经书籍，关注时事，注重分析。演讲比赛有很多对时事分析的即兴演讲题目，我抽到题目“富豪的社会角色”和“防止矿难发生”都是热点问题，通过平时的阅读的积累和模联会议的经验，可以一点一点有条不紊的说出我的看法。作为非英语专业的学生，英语不是我的饭碗，却是一种思维方式和文化。大学很多专业课程都是外教授课的全英文教学，而过去三四千字的全英文专业论文令人叫苦不迭，而如今所有的付出也都有了回报。英语在专业的背景上才能锦上添花。

第二是我对诸子百家一直怀有浓厚的兴趣，古人的思想给我无穷无尽的启发和灵感。求师于古人，不仅是返璞归真，也是发扬和继承我们的文化。零星时间我很多不是在读英语，而是在享受背诵诸子百家的文章。孔子的仁爱，孟子的大气，老子的超然，庄子洒脱，韩非子的公正。我们老祖宗的道理没有错，是我们忽略太久了。学习英语到了一定的时候，你会渐渐地发现中文是最优美的语言，国学是最博大精深的学问。当下正值传统文化复兴，在演讲题材选择上联系古人智慧，无疑是推陈出新。

在构思文章主旨和切入点的时候，建议避开陈词滥调，寻找和提炼一些独到的观点，给评委一种全新的思维。有一句话是这么说的：纵向思维是挖深同一个洞，横向思维是到别处去挖洞。内容的创新需要我们在写作时候采用更多的横向思维（Parallel thinking）。

3.语音选择：女王英语和牛津腔

虽然参加演讲比赛的选手口音绝对不是问题，但口音作为演讲第一印象之一，能够与众不同，肯定迅速引人注目。

我对英语语音有着一种偏执的追求，我只迷恋女王英语和牛津腔（Queen’s English & Oxford English），收藏女王和英国首相的演说。最初只是一种纯粹的喜好，后来却意外成为一种竞争优势。

因为在英语演讲比赛中，绝大多数选手是一口流利纯正的美式英语，从纽约腔到德克萨斯口音，应有尽有。美音在中国大行其道，千万名中国英语学习者深受影响，疯狂练习，市场上有着各种美音教材，美剧，好莱坞电影是美国英语的义务宣传员。

我骨子里是有一点“虽千万人吾往矣”的倔劲儿，所以不愿意随波逐流。英音在我眼中就是有着一种与生俱来的高贵和传统，能够给人焕然一新的印象。英音也更适合我的演讲风格，因此女王和牛津的口音作为正统英语(Received Pronunciation)，才是我模仿的对象，伦敦腔(Cockney)和英国北部的方言则尽可能回避。在剑桥期间，英国佬对我的口音赞不绝口，称是上流社会的口音，这更加使我坚信我的选择。物以稀为贵，美音如此走俏，英音更显得弥足珍贵。

我丝毫不想贬低美音，两者没有本质优劣之分。但是在演讲比赛中，如果很多选手使用美音，你说一口纯正流利的英音立马脱颖而出，就能使你和别人不一样。

4.语调停顿：节奏的艺术

选手对语调的把握集中在抑扬顿挫上，这点没错，感情需要通过语调的起伏来抒发。但是很多人忽略了很重要一点：停顿。意群之间需要停顿来作为调整，给评委时间消化和理解，演讲者也可以适作休息。停顿是一种节奏的艺术，适时的暂停一会儿，会使你的演讲充满思考和睿智。许多著名的乐曲，声调不仅是时高时低，而且有一些间隙停顿，演讲之道也如同音乐。

5.肢体语言：锦上添花

观看对比中西领导人的演讲就可以看出，中国官员演讲不擅长也不喜欢使用肢体语言，西方领导人则十分热衷于此道。这里面有着深刻的文化背景和政治含义。但是在全球化背景下，演讲肢体语言的使用绝对是加分的，在英语演讲比赛中，我们应该顺应这种全球化趋势，合理增加肢体语言的使用。

肢体语言不仅包括手势，还有其他身体部位的动作，结合演讲的内容展示，可以使你的演讲更加形象生动，活灵活现，富有感召力和张力。

我观看过往年选手的比赛视频，大多数选手会使用肢体语言，不过很单调，手势不会超过三种。部分选手在不使用手势的时候不知道手往哪里放，显得不自然。我在掌握肢体语言的时候，常常是请教外教。根据内容设计不同的手势，我们会对一些重要的词汇，采用肢体语言，有的是手势，有的是身体的姿势，还有的是头部的动作。

同时我自己也秉承一个原则，肢体语言是锦上添花，过度使用就会喧宾夺主。

待续

6.表情和眼神：演在前，讲在后

演讲虽然不是演戏，不过演在前，讲在后，演的成分必不可少。演除了肢体语言的使用，就是表情和眼神。

我在21世纪杯全国总决赛讲述马拉松的经历，为了展现我在途中的心理变化，我尽可能结合演讲内容，通过面部表情来还原当时的情状，比如有一段路程，我很沮丧，想放弃马拉松赛，于是我就低下头，垂头丧气地说话。

演讲过程中最忌眼神只看一个方向，目光呆滞。在比赛过程中，环视评委是最佳的选择。评委一字排开入座，你从左边看到右边，然后多注意中间的大牌评委，这种互动会使评委印象深刻。

7.着装要求：细节彰显不俗 着装和语音都是一脉相承，深受英伦的影响。在我去英国剑桥之前，就已经对正装特别考究。倒不是为了比赛，我认为一个即将走向社会的男生，即将要经历男生到男人的转变，正装的礼仪都缺乏，实在不合格。正装不仅要会穿，熟悉礼仪和惯例，还要穿出品位。

小时候我就酷爱翻阅老爸80年版英汉字典中附录的男士着装，从燕尾服，小礼服，早礼服，西装到风衣，大礼帽等等。后来我利用空余时间学习阅读男士正装的知识。父母也很开明，意识到大学时期需要出席正式场合，他们的资助加上我个人的奖金，开始购置装备。我特别留意一些男士配饰，比如方巾，袖扣（法式衬衫），这些欧美国家经常使用，但是国内很少看到。其实真正的男士正装，三个重要的配饰就是领带，袖扣和手表。再如：领带的颜色和西装的质地，蓝色和红色的领带在国内随处可见，所以我选择金色凸显不俗，深蓝条纹的羊绒西服可以体现年轻和朝气，纯黑的西服略显老气。

在英国期间，我仔细观察了英国绅士的着装，走访很多名牌男士正装店，询问他们对正装的搭配的习惯。而且我的选择也得到他们的认可。触动极大的是目睹伊顿公学(Eton College)以早礼服（燕尾服）作为师生的校服，回想国内还是千篇一律的肥大的运动服，一时感慨万千。

如今我的两套西服和各种配饰已经陪伴我走过许多比赛和会议，每次出征，它们都是必不可少，犹如我的战袍。有人问我为什么没有换衣服和领带，其实是我两套西服更换比较难察觉，而那条的金色领带和黄色的方巾已经成为我的吉祥物，金色则是我的幸运色，我对它们都有着深深的感情。

也许是国内缺乏绅士教育，在比赛和会议时候，我竟然会发现身着牛仔裤和运动鞋的男生，或者穿着黑丝袜和凉鞋的女生。礼仪的训练和修养虽然需要一定的物质投入，但是如果没有基本意识，其他都是空谈。

演讲比赛不是开派对，也不是娱乐综艺节目。作为一个正式的场合，着装正确，注重细节，是对评委和观众的尊重，也是对自己的负责。高品位的正装平添了一份自信和从容，如虎添翼。

8.演讲风格：政治家不是政客

颁奖的时候，总决赛一位老奶奶评委上台和我合影，她走近我说，我一看到你就就知道是一个politician（政客），哈哈。我马上回答：No, I am a statesman.（不，我是政治家）她听后大笑答道说得好。后来我才知道她是唐闻生，中国翻译协会常务副会长，原毛泽东的英文秘书。这里不谈政治家和政客的区别，但是评委这么评价是说明对演讲风格的一种肯定。

Charismatic Statesmanship & Queen’s English（魅力政治家风范和女王英语）是我给自己理想的风格定位，也是我努力的目标。

演讲风格是演讲训练的一个目标和境界。就像每一个都有自己的性格，演讲也要有自己的独特的风格。这不仅是为了比赛中让评委印象深刻，更重要是在日后人生无数场的演说中，让一个有鲜明风格的演讲者愈加被大家熟悉，愈加熟练自己的演讲方式和特点，更为流畅和自然地发表演讲。我对演讲着迷是始于布莱尔的演讲，所以日后都是在模仿政治人物的演说，他们的手势，眼神，语音语调，还有简单但气势磅礴的语言。就像过去我练习书法一样，先是临摹大家之作，然后摸索形成自己的风格，演讲也是如此。

我并不建议每个人都盲目模仿政治家的风格，而且不同政治人物的风格也大相径庭。合理的分析和定位，挖掘内心的潜质才能找到属于自己的演讲风格。

正如演讲的风格不可简单复制，每个人成功的模式也是绝版，甚至一个人在不同时期取得成就的方式也是不一样的。简单的照搬上文的经验并不可取，演讲之道绝非只此一种道，而是千千万万条道。希望读者能够结合自身的特点和水平，斟酌损益，有所取舍，发现和发展属于你自己的“演讲非常道”。

比赛故事：

21世纪杯和我：五年前的际遇

比赛的整个历程有一年之久，但是我和21世纪杯比赛的故事最远可以追溯到2005年。

还在高中时候的我得到一份有声杂志《疯狂英语》，附有两盘磁带。除了一个最后一篇文章2005年冠军夏鹏的演说记忆犹新，杂志的其他内容都已经忘却。那是我第一次听到演讲比赛的录音，钦佩有加，震耳发聩。直到现在我有空还会重温。最近一次是我去广州前，再次放了一遍他的演讲。这本杂志静静的放在我的桌前的书柜上。

接着是去年，偶然拿到一份21世纪英文报，2009年4月15日的一期，是去年比赛的报导。那几页报纸我依然珍藏到现在，每天放在书包里面，有空就拿出来翻看。在当时是全凭兴趣，可如今手里捧着今年以我为封面的21世纪英文报，不禁感叹人生充满了不可思议。

鼓舞的力量：坦然不失谨慎

比赛前去新马文化交流，在吉隆坡拜访父亲的朋友——一位马来华人。在霓虹灯闪烁的街区，繁华的夜景下，我们静静坐在一下德国餐厅里面，一边品尝点心和美酒，一边轻松的谈天。他写了一本书，名为《分享》，记录他从商的历程，从无到有，从有到意识到回馈社会的责任，他的思想一直在影响我，一个过去接受太多教育的华人，如今是清华的校友，出书，开博。分享为他的人生创造了新的价值。

在总决赛上场前，组织人员领着我，路过走廊，正好碰见父亲，那一刻我终生难忘。父亲没有和我说一句话，我也不敢说，因为我还处在隔离状态。父亲只是用坚定的目光看着我，我用自信的眼光注视着他。随后他朝我点点头，目送我离开。后来我获得冠军奖杯后，第一件事情就是接过主持人的话筒说道，父亲的到场是我比赛最大的动力，谢谢爸爸！老爸是我的福星，21世纪杯和CCTV杯两次福建省决赛，父母亲临现场观赛，我顺利双双获得省冠军。这次全国总决赛，父亲利用出差之余来到现场，他无言的鼓励一直激励着在台上的我，使我更加自信和专注，摘得总冠军。后来父亲和大家开玩笑，他在场一定夺冠，他没去北京央视看我比赛，于是我开始答非所问。即使老爸不厌其烦的教导“无欲则刚，脚踏实地”，我不敢完全苟同，不过每次比赛见到他，都会格外收敛谨慎。

全国赛前只有2次正规的培训，每次主任老师都召集8-9位老师来给我辅导，有的注意口音，有的指导文笔，有的负责肢体语言。有时候为了一次单词的发音，可以反复纠正十几分钟。每次我都顶着千斤重的压力，和他们讨论，甚至争论，最后筛选老师们的建议，进行修改。虽然老师们非常苛刻，把我批得体无完肤，但是他们都会给我鼓励，告诉我只有强大的内心才能扛得住这种魔鬼训练。主任老师对我一直无微不至的关心。我们有着一种独特的联系方式——对诗。在赛前，赛中和赛后都互相写格律诗勉励，在“比赛诗词”部分都有摘录。赋诗抒怀言志，不仅获得鼓舞，而且保持一种不以物喜，不以己悲的超然心态。印象深刻的还有她那句话，“浮华背后是平实”。一个人无论成败，都要保持一颗谦逊和感恩的心，才能取得长足的进步。

赛前重病：天降大任

比赛前两周，我先是从厦门飞抵北京，然后当天和去年CCTV杯比赛的一群朋友直飞新加坡，在新马前前后后玩了6天，再返回北京参加为期4天的亚洲模联，犹如空中飞人。新马热浪滚滚，北京还是寒风刺骨，气候的极大反差使我严重感冒发烧。模联那几天是梦魇般痛苦，每天熬夜写稿，还要吃药养病。爱模结束回到厦门修养3天，立即踏上广州参赛的征程，马不停蹄。幸运的是，来到羊城广州，我的病奇迹般的痊愈，精神抖擞也信心倍增。也许是我也算是半个广东人吧（籍贯），岭南的气候我很适应，广州的小吃令我馋涎欲滴，没事就和老广说说鸟语（粤语）。广州的一切有一种老家的感觉。于是调侃，大病康复是：天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨。

比赛趣闻：隔离室的KTV 21世纪杯整个赛程近一年，总决赛却只有3天，强度高，压力大。不过期间的逸闻趣事也是非常丰富，尤其在隔离的时候，除了一些准备时间，大家是绞尽脑汁去玩，去放松。

我是一个不折不扣的社交动物，两次抽签（半决赛和决赛）都是下午的签，三种隔离我很不幸地经历了两次，所以也是想方设法调动大家的积极性。开始是自我介绍，然后玩真心话大冒险，还有杀人游戏，也聊一些轻松话题。我没事就拍照：自拍，拍别人，或者揽一群美女帅哥来合影，欣赏照片令人赏心悦目，岂不乐哉？我还拿出看家本领，把在北京爱模刚刚学会的非洲舞蹈表演给大家，西装革履地手舞足蹈，足以雷倒全场，嘿嘿。

总决赛下午，选手准备室的气氛实在太压抑，有的选手自言自语抱怨，有的选手一直冲向洗手间，还有的无聊地翻看报纸。北外选手郭文纳提议大家点歌合唱，她要我点歌，我点歌《我心永恒》，大家也应和，于是我们就开始现场K歌，没有麦克风，没有背景音乐，也没有麦霸，大家放声歌唱。歌词忘了就跟着哼，跑调了也附和着，不会唱就鼓掌打节拍。就这样，一首接一首，中文和英文，粤语和国语。气氛顿时变得活跃，轻松，大家唱得十分融洽。

每当有一位选手准备离开上场，我们都大声给他/她鼓气。当我准备离开时，大家一起给我欢呼，我甚至一边走，一边跳起了“Nobody”，还一边唱着，我们都开怀大笑。

不知不觉，时间流逝，偌大的房间里面就剩下我和最后一位选手——南京大学的潘勐。虽然我已经讲完，但还是给她继续唱歌。我说自己五音不全，会唱的歌曲数目不需要用的脚趾，于是给他我比较拿手，也比较经典的《上海滩》。

浪奔，浪流，万里涛涛江水永不休。（粤语）

房间里回荡着我生硬的歌声，虽然经常跑调，忘词，还是勉强唱完了，她也要准备上场，我提起声音，大声说：加油，加油，你能行！耶！

最后她获得季军，我为她感到由衷的喜悦，我一直觉得她可以荣获最佳幽默奖。待续

21世纪杯全国英语演讲比赛心得——演讲非常道（3）

我的老师：Mr.饭，Mr.Fun

指导我的范老师是一位特别风趣的人。我们最大的共同爱好是古文，即使在比赛期间，他每天睡前也会拿着《古文观止》朗诵，我则翻着《道德经》默读。他很恋家，每天给老婆煲电话粥，手机欠费就跑的路边电话亭去打。离开广州前还给老婆和小孩买礼物。我们比赛期间的培训很简单，我把讲稿说一遍，他来计时，完了提出建议，他从来不给我增加额外的任务和压力。我倒是会和他说说比赛期间的趣闻和八卦，有时也讨论一些政经话题。最有趣的是在广州比赛的宾馆用餐，每次米饭是最后上的，所以大家抱怨很多，没有饭如何吃菜？范老师常身先士卒，振臂一呼，要饭食！大家称和范老师一起，就有饭吃。如果有人问他您贵姓，他会指着米饭说，我叫这个，特逗。所以范老师的绰号就是：Mr.饭 or Mr.Fun。

酒吧狂欢：人生得意须尽欢

总决赛结束后，大家争先恐后地合影，不亦乐乎。然后都在盘算着如何庆祝，毕竟3天比赛高强度，大多数人想一起来放松。一些选手在房间里面玩游戏，聊天，其实我也曾想去，不过觉得还不够过瘾，于是我和部分人去了酒吧狂欢。在DJ劲爆的音乐中，一阵阵热舞，一口口狂饮，一声声欢呼。积聚了几天，甚至几个月的压力得到彻底的释放„„后来感谢文菁姐和她朋友凌晨三点把我抬回了房间。那时寂静的街道上回荡着我嘶声力竭地叫喊，直呼过瘾。人生难得几回搏，人生也难得几次一醉方休。李白的《将进酒》是当时心情最好的写照：“人生得意须尽欢，莫使金樽空对月。天生我材必有用，千金散尽还复来。”

小兰来访：喜悦 + 感动

小兰的到来令我喜出望外。不愧是小医生啊，给我带来了解酒药和芦柑，一时感动不已，不然我还要继续呕吐。服药后，除了走路在飞，基本恢复正常。北京一别，我一直后悔走得太过匆忙，没有多和大家道别，广州重逢，我们谈笑风生，从酒店一直聊到机场。告别时，我不停地和她招手，真希望航班推迟，她能带我尝遍广州小吃，玩转羊城。期待我们这群挚友将来能有缘再聚。

登机前，我不无遗憾地感叹道：再见广州，I will be right back!(我会回来的。)

这次赛事的圆满结束，也意味着新的征程的开始。

比赛诗词

附上比赛期间恩师和我所作的诗词，仅作为花絮。

啟程奔赴羊城，賦詩言志：

久病終愈再征途，養精蓄銳展抱負。

南征北戰萬里塵，羊城一搏競逐鹿。

恩師臨別贈詩： 春雨潤物細無聲，遙送愛徒赴征程。研深覃思通今古，眾師戮力點鯤鵬。

駕乘春風上雲層，萬里長空任鵬程。擎天架海棟樑材，意氣風發冠羊城。

賦詩二首以靜心：

是無為，定心廣志，增益無所不為。

故不爭，上善若水，天下莫能與之爭。

心無欲，色不變，泰然自若抒己見。硝煙滾，群雄現，氣定神閑天下先。

小蘭送行，離開廣州，賦詩抒懷：

飛離羊城別小蘭，聚少離多淚相看。石破天驚奪桂冠，激流勇退尋閉關。

注釋：“淚相看”是懷念新馬旅遊結束後，大家在北京機場時揮淚告別的情景。

恩師贺诗： 唇槍舌劍珠江畔，從容應對盡超然。氣定神閑握勝券，精英何愁不捧冠。

凱旋歸來，賦詩以淡定：

進退之術然於胸，張弛有度談笑中。寵辱不驚目不瞬，去留無意心何動。

恩師轉贈一詩鼓勵勇退：

手把青秧插滿田，低頭便見水中天。心地清靜方為道，退步原來是向前。

i want very much to do better this time.i started explaining, and finished in a hurry.pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly.nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer.no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldnt forgive myself.i simply couldnt forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, why didnt you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didnt you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret? i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word responsibility and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.later in my life, i continued to experience many failures.but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it.yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who cant even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.probably ill be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.but this doesnt discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, its going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.i cant ever forget that little girl in my class who couldnt had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.we are not going to evade that responsibility.we are going to let people down.and people, far and near, will hear of us.frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.篇三：21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛演讲稿 目录

专家点评:引用文学大师的诗句作为开场白，与结束语首尾呼应，颇有感染力。东西方文化的融合表现得十分鲜明，意味深长，是篇优秀的演讲。crossing the sea good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.the title of my speech today is crossing the sea.an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in his poem we and they: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they we live over the sea while they live over the way we eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives they who gobble their rice off a leaf are horrified out of their lives.when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? todays society, of course, is an entirely different picture.those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.indeed, just take china as an example: our modern life has been influenced by western style of living in so many ways that its no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds and even rather elderly people dressed in apple jeans.however, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.what is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nations mentality.just look around.it is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the western culture.but it is not only in china that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.take the chinese acupuncture as another example: this traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the west and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any westerner as incredible in the past!ladies and gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before.we live in a particular era when countries, east and west, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values.we live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.to cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between china and the rest of the world.it is my happiest dream that the new generation of chinese will not only grow up drinking coca-cola and watching hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures;benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.to end my speech, i would like to quote rudyard kipling again: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they but once you cross over the sea you will end by looking on we as only a sort of they thank you.译文:穿越海洋 女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。

英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道: 像我们的人是我们

其余的人是他们

我们生活在海这边

他们生活在路那边

我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉

吞吃粽叶包饭的他们吓得要死。

第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。

然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。

不久以前，大学生还只是束手空坐，等待政府给他们分配工作;如今，又有多少大学生正在做充分准备，为争取任何工作机会而激烈角逐? 20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来，今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加演讲比赛的诸位，谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下篇四：21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛历届讲稿 from walls to bridges 第十届―21世纪杯‖全国英语演讲比赛冠军——夏鹏 南京大学 夏鹏原系贵州省平坝县黎阳厂子校学生，小学五年级开始进入贵阳百年英语学校系统学习英语。2003年,夏鹏以600分的高分考入南京大学法学院,后转入英语系。2004年获得cctv全国英语演讲比赛第二名，同年获得代表国内最高水平的第十届―21世纪杯‖全国英语演讲比赛冠军，同时获得比赛―最具潜力奖‖，并代表中国参加2005年国际英语演讲比赛，荣获获得冠军和―最受观众欢迎奖‖。
