The first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady tous.
"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later. She jokinglyreplied, " I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple ofchildren, and then retire and travel."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivatedher to betaking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a collegeeducation and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we wouldleave class together and tolk nonstop. I was always listening to this "timemachine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to make a speech to our footballteam. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she began to deliverher preparedspeech, she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she simplysaid, "I'm sorry. This whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back inorder so let me just tell you what I know." As we laughed she cleared her throatand began:" We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because westop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, andachieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got tohave a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walkingaround who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference betweengrowing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed forone full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years ody can grow older. That doesn't take any talentor ability. The idea is togrow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. Theelderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we didnot do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree. One week aftergraduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college studentsattended her funeral to honorthe wonderful woman who taught by example that it'snever too late to be all you can possibly be.
開學第一天，教授把一位小個子老太太介紹給了我們。
隨後我問道，“你為什麼這麼“年輕”還來讀大學?”她開玩笑地回答：“我來這兒是為了認識一個有錢的丈夫，結婚，生幾個孩子，然後退休去旅行。”
“不，認真點兒。”我問道。我很好奇，到底是什麼東西讓她在這個年紀還要接受這樣一個挑戰。“我一直夢想著上大學，現在我就在讀大學!”她告訴我。
我們馬上成了朋友。在隨後的三個月裡，我們每天一起離開教室，不停地交談。我總是和歷經了歲月滄桑的她一起分享她的智慧和經驗。
期末的時候，我們邀請羅斯給我們的橄欖球隊講話。我永遠都不會忘記她教給我們的東西。就在她要開始進行她事先準備好的演講時，她把寫了要點的卡片掉在了地上。她有點兒尷尬，但只是說，“對不起。這酒可真要命!我沒辦法再準備好我的講稿了，就讓我把我知道的東西告訴你們吧。”我們笑了起來，她清了清嗓子，開始演講：“我們並不是因為年老就不再玩耍;我們變老是因為我們不再玩耍。只有四個祕密可以讓你保持年輕，快樂，獲得成功。你必須每天都開懷大笑，尋找幽默。你必須有一個夢想。失去了夢想，你就會雖生猶死。我們周圍有很多人，他們已經‘死了’，自己卻不知道。成長和長大之間有著巨大的差距。如果你現在19歲，躺在床上整整一年什麼都不做，你也還會變成20歲。每一個人都會長大，這不需要任何天賦和能力。要不斷地在變化中尋找機遇，這樣才是成長。
不要留有遺憾。老年人通常不會為做過的事遺憾，而是為還沒有做過的事情感到遺憾。只有那些有遺憾的人才會怕死。”
年底的時候，羅斯獲得了大學學位。畢業一星期後，她在夢中安詳地離開了人世。兩千多名大學生參加了她的葬禮，來紀念這位通過自己的親身經歷來告訴我們永遠都可以成就自己的理想的了不起的老人。
Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding orgetting something that they want. However, not many people have ever foundlong-term happiness by achieving a goal. There will always be another thing thatthey want. There will always be another exam or another dollar.
許多人都相信,找到幸福就等於找到或得到他們的心儀之物。然而,很多人並沒有在目標實現之後就獲得長久的幸福。這是因為人們總想要得到更多的東西,總還要走入考場,總還要賺更多的錢。
To break this vicious cycle, we must find our happiness somewhere else—within ourselves. In other words, happiness is completely an inside job. Thekey to finding happiness is to understand that happiness is a choice rather thanthe result of an experience. We have been given everything
為了打破這種惡性迴圈,我們必須在其他地方找到幸福——那就是在我們的內心世界裡。換句話說,幸福是心靈的產物。得到幸福的關鍵就在於要懂得幸福是一種選擇,而不是經歷的結果。
We need to be happy. Allow yourself to choose happiness. If life wasperfect, would you be happy? Life is perfect because we create it with ourchoices. Since we can create life, we can create happiness and choose how muchbetter our lives can get!
我們已經擁有獲得幸福所需要的一切。去選擇自己的幸福吧!倘若生活是完美的,你會覺得幸福嗎?人生之所以完美就因為它是我們通過選擇創造出來的。既然我們能創造生活,我們就能創造幸福,並選擇更美好的人生!
Only when we can accept that life is perfect as it is, and that our livesare the sum total of everything that has happened up to this moment, can weaccept the joy and the happiness we deserve.
我們只有在接受生活原本就很完美,並且生活就是此刻所經歷之事的全部之時,我們才能得到我們應得的那份喜悅與幸福。
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call ithard is not so bad as you looks poorest when you are ault-finder will find faults in your life,poor as it mayperhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a etting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as fromthe rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I donot see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheeringthoughts,as in a town's poor seem to me often to live the mostindependent lives of be they are simply great enough to receive think that they are above being supported by the town;but itoften happens that they are not above supporting themselves by h should be more ivate poverty like a gardenherb,like not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes orfriends,Turn the old,return to gs do not change;we yourclothes and keep your thoughts.
不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時候，倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂裡也能找到缺點。你要愛你的生活，儘管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院裡，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮;在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一個從容的人，在哪裡也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很偉大，所以受之無愧。大多數人以為他們是超然的，不靠城鎮來支援他們;可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活，他們是毫不超脫的，毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像聖人一樣耕植它吧!不要找新的花樣，無論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來麻煩你自己。找舊的，回到那裡去。萬物不變，是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。
Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I'd like to start with a group of pictures.
“Modern and advanced”This society forgets, and ignores the other two thirds of human beings. It's far from the ideal! We call ideal as a utopian, a place where reality does not exist. A few people still look forward to the ideals. We make fun of them, considering they are naive. Will we still be content to live in such a society, if misfortune drops to us? No! Of cause not!
When we feel the warmth of the sun, these people, endure great sorrows and pains. Can we imagine that? They are our brother and sisters!
Facing them, will we still complain about our own misfortune?
Facing them, will we still have the mood shouting for our own freedom? Facing them, will we still want to have more and more unnecessary stuff?
They are unable to meet their needs, even the basic needs of survival! Everyone, as a member of humanity, shouldn't feel ashamed? Our luxury deprived their lives, our indifference violated our soul, and our barbarity destroyed human civilization!
What's the ideal society? It's a society no one worries about their living, a society no one is refused from education, a society everyone can pursue his/her own happiness! The ideal society is filled with love, joy and kindness. In that society, we can touch the other's hearts, we can share our dreams and most important, we can just be the true men!
Let's break the ethnic divide, bridge the gap between rich and poor, hand in hand, to build a Great wall, protecting us from evil; to construct a steady bridge, connecting reality to the ideal society! Let's pursue for that, that's the only way to the bright future! They are watching us! Thank you!
Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease, says the World Health Organisation.
According to their figures, it is responsible for approximately five million deaths worldwide every year.
Tobacco smoking is a known or probable cause of approximately 25 diseases, and even the WHO says that its impact on world health is not fully assessed.
Heart attack and stroke.
UK studies show that smokers in their 30s and 40s are five times more likely to have a heart attack than non'smokers.
Dear teachers， dear students：
hello everyone！
The topic of my speech is ＂the hardness of life＂
The vast desert， a tree stand， the show is a monument to the image.
Towering mountains， thousands of tree stand up， as is a magnificent the Great Wall.
The long river， all the trees stood up into a dragon of glory.
We are a symbol of too much， and too much. But I believe that my image is not ＂the gentlest hands， skin， such as Diorskin＂ Lin Daiyu， nor is the modern ＂unkempt and shabby＂， ＂Su Qier＂. We are a symbol of hope and vitality. So we show in front of others should be inserted without pleats， face without scale， modest and polite gestures exudes a stream of heroic spirit， the image of the vigor and vitality of the modern new youth， a into the embodiment of the spirit of nature.
Someone once said， life is a kind of hardness， integrity and dignity of life is propped up the hardness of bone. ＂Better life＂ and ＂the Kui back in the day， and not ashamed on the ground＂， which is always the traditional virtue of the China. Li Bai＇s ＂the eyebrow nengcui Zheyaoshan powerful thing， so that I may not be happy Yan＂ this awe inspiring atmosphere of the verse and whether it will make those no self-esteem people to shame？ Loss of self-esteem is a worthless person， and we as the vanguard of the times， if drown in the darkness forever， or to do a dauntless hero， a flower in the wind and rain sonorous rose. The answer is self-evident. Desert desolate also has the monument stands， Castle Peak again proud， but also have the great wall around， the river again quiet， also there is a dragon in the recumbent. But the time can be changed， our image， our glory remains the same. Because we pride， because we are confident， because we have a fresh life. And because of this， it is a vast desert riparian long， Qingshan was evergreen， the hardness of life is forever.
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 the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
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.
我對未來充滿信心
尊敬的評委，各位同學：
下午好!
最近，社會上有一場很激烈的爭論。大學生是一種稀有特權的享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我們能面對挑戰而無所畏懼嗎?我們能夠改善他人的生活嗎?我們能夠承擔建設祖國未來的重任嗎?
懷疑論者說大學生是被寵壞的一代，一丁點挫折都受不了。但是他們錯了，我所看到的大學生正在努力的學習獨立生活。我們互相幫助打掃衛生，一起上街砍價購物，一起參加兼職工作來賺零花錢。
懷疑論者說我們除了成績什麼都不關心，從而忽略了性格的培養。但是，他們又錯了。我們彼此關心，我們嚮往自由，我們珍惜公正，我們追求真理。上個星期，很多我的同學去驗血，為了給患血癌的孩子貢獻自己的力量。
作為大學生，我們是處在人生分水嶺的青年。我們都面臨一個重要的選擇：懷疑人生還是相信自己，每一種都會給我們的人生帶來重大的影響，甚至影響我們祖國的未來。我相信我們的同學們，雖然我們依然缺乏經驗，甚至有些志氣，但是我相信我們有勇氣和自信來面對生活的挑戰並承擔我們的責任。我們正努力準備接受新的任務，用我們所學習的知識將世界變得更美好。我對我們的未來充滿信心。
My school is near a small lake. It is very beautiful. I like my school very much.
We have a high teaching building and it is big and clean. Our classroom is on the fifth floor. The computer rooms are on the third floor. We have computer classes there. We have a big library on the second floor. There are many books in it. I like reading books there. We also have music room and art rooms in the building.
There is a big playground behind the teaching building. After class, we often play basketball there.
The teachers in my school are very kind. The students are very polite and smart. I am happy in my school.
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
but one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the negro is still not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languishing in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. so we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
in a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
so we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of god's children. now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
ladies and gentlemen:
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.i have kept the dream in my mind for so long that whoever in the sun is able to live a happy life for ever.
i think this dream is deeply rooted in the future. as we can see, we are now not far away from violence, poverty, diseases, environmental pollution and even
wars. most of people are in need of what they have never enjoyed. however, i still can stick to my innermost dream, as i still can see the bright lights in
our future. i believe, there will be a day when those from the rich counties are really willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries; there will be a day when we are surprised to find that the word poverty has long been out of our memories; there will be a day when we are together to share our dreams and we will all contribute to making our common dreams come true.
i will not just wait but to take action to live in my dream.
Thank you!
Wang Leehom Speech @Berklee College of Music - YouTube
王力巨集伯克利音樂學院演講
I don't know what to say. I didn't know that there would be a podium with a microphone. I thought I would just be singing songs. Not to downplay that, but ...
我不知說什麼好了。我不知道這邊有一個帶麥克風的講臺。我還以為只要唱幾首歌就好了。不是說那不重要。
Oh, my goodness, what an honor. I am just so humbled and excited to be here looking out at all of you.
哦，我的老天，多麼大的一份榮譽。在這裡看著大家，我既誠惶誠恐，又激動萬分。
Being back here on campus is ... I feel so proud to have studied here. And ... that's 16 years ago, but ... I used to come to Symphony Hall every weekend and get those rush tickets, the student packs, and watch the Boston Symphony Orchestra perform as often as possible, often by myself.
重新回到這裡真的是…我為自己曾在此學習過而感到自豪。已經是16年前了，但是…我以前經常一個人在週末來到交響樂大廳，搶一些所謂的“趕急票”，來欣賞波士頓交響樂團的表演。
And it was one of the highlights of my time here at Berklee, so being here on stage is really unreal. Walking around on campus today was a testament to how far Berklee's come in the last 16 years. It is beautiful, the campus, the facilities. I was walking by the MP&E, the studios, the equipment, the fitness center. We didn't have any of these stuffs. So I guess you guys have been doing a pretty good job. So thank you, and congratulations to that. What a time for the East and West in music, in pop culture.
這是我在伯克利學習生活的眾多亮點之一了，所以能來到這個臺上實屬不易。今天我在校園漫步，感受到了母校在這16年間的變化之大。她太美了，無論是環境還是設施。我還路過MP&E，那些工作室，一些設施，對了還有一個健身中心。我們那會兒可沒有這玩意兒。所以校方的努力非常的棒，謝謝你們，也祝賀你們。這是一個東西方在音樂、流行文化中交流的偉大時代。
All of you, music lovers, future musicians, future professional musicians on the stage, and like what Roger just said, it's so important for us to be ambassadors, to be that bridge, to be ambassadors of peace, and breaking down the walls, bringing people together. Last night ... this is an issue that's so close in my heart, because last night in Los Angeles, my dear friend Jackie Chan was the first person ... first Chinese actor ever to win an Oscar, last night! I just want to thank all of you for being here, that's why we make music, is to connect with people.
在座的各位，無論你是音樂發燒友、未來的音樂人，還是未來專業的舞臺表演音樂家，就像Roger剛所說的，我們要成為大使，這一點非常重要。我們要成為溝通東西方的橋樑，成為和平的使者，我們要消除阻礙，把人和人連線起來。對了，跟大家說一件很激動人心的事情，昨天晚上在洛杉磯，我的好朋友成龍大哥成為了第一個獲得奧斯卡小金人的中國演員，就在昨天晚上。真的感謝大家今天來到這兒，這也是讓我做音樂的原因—把人連線起來。
I've never written a song without loving it myself. So for all of you musicians, always follow your heart and always do what you love. I've definitely ... you know ... never convince yourself that what other people are telling you to do is right if you don't feel like it's right in your heart. As a musician, it just doesn't work.
我對我寫的每一首歌都很喜歡，沒有不喜歡的。所以，各位音樂人，請跟隨自己的心，做自己愛做的事。如果你內心不認可的事情，那麼無論別人怎麼說，你都別動搖。作為一個音樂人，不這麼做是行不通的。
So work like a bull, I guess ... and always have fun. And all the accolades don't mean anything without your friends and your family to share with. So Thank You to them as well for being here together, and always.
最後，像老黃牛一樣工作，並且保持快樂。另外，我還想說，如果你不能把這份快樂跟你的朋友、家人分享的話，那麼所有的讚美都是沒有意義的。所以，我要感謝今天出席典禮的朋友和家人。
My Chinese Dream
我的中國夢
I am very glad to stand here to give thier a short y my topic is that the youth are the future of motherland
很高興站在這裡做這篇短小的演講，我演講的主題是青年是祖國的未來。
When preparing for the English speech contest, I simply want to search some articles as the contents of my speech. I read a lot of articles, some from the university professor, some from the famous host, some from the college students, and even from junior high school students. But after reading it, I gave up the idea, I even felt shameful. Today,the topic I want to talk about is a solemn and serious theme full of glory and pride, which is a common aspiration of all our Chinese. Every Chinese has his own dream of China, and of course, there is a dream lingering in my heart only belongs to my own.
在準備英語演講比賽的時候，我本想簡單地從網上搜索一些文章作為我演講的內容。我看過很多文章，有著名主持人的、北大教授的、大學生的，也有國中生的。但是看完之後，我放棄了當初的想法，我甚至為當初的想法感到有一些羞愧。因為今天我站在這裡向大家演講的主題，是一個莊重而嚴肅的主題;是一個充滿榮耀與自豪的主題;是每一箇中華兒女共同期盼的主題。每個人都有屬於他們自己的中國夢，而我，當然也有一直縈繞在心懷只屬於我的中國夢。
So what’s my Chinese dream ? Finally I will announce.
We had learned a lot of knowledge and understood a lot of truth in the book. We had a basic concept to our country at that time. We know that our country is full of sunshine , and we are the future of our country, and our dreams are to be the hope of our motherland.
我的中國夢是什麼樣的?先賣個關子。
記得剛剛上學那會兒，我們天真無邪。在課本里，我們學到了很多很多知識，也明白了很多很多道理，我們對祖國也有了一個最基本的概念。我們知道我們的祖國到處充滿陽光，正在慢慢發展，而我們，就是祖國未來的花朵，未來的希望。我們夢想將來能夠成為祖國的希望。
However,We don't know what time to start,We are grow up,Life became not the same, though we don’t want to admit, it’s the truth that our mind and attitude to our country is changing. Our society became full of deception, indifference, intrigue, pressure, corruption, sinister, and we became irritable and not calm, detest the world and its ways. Our country seems to have become in a disastrous state too. A lot of young students who were nurtured by our motherland became impatient, let alone what are their dreams , what is the china dream ?
這，是我們最初的中國夢。最真誠的我們，最真誠的夢。
但是，不知道什麼時候開始，我們長大了，生活似乎一下子變得和以前不太一樣了，與此同時，雖然我們很不想承認但是卻又不得不承認的是，我們的思想，我們的為人處世觀，我們對我們祖國的看法，也潛移默化中慢慢開始了轉變。我們的社會變得到處充滿欺騙、冷漠、勾心鬥角、壓力、腐敗、險惡，我們變得暴躁，不冷靜，憤世嫉俗。我們的國家，似乎也開始變得千瘡百孔。而好多我們親愛的祖國委以重任培養的青年學生們變得輕浮、急躁，更別提什麼夢想，什麼中國夢了?
I was surprised ,when the old man fell down in the street,We are afraid to help him.I was disappointed ,when someone do good things were reported,many people think he was affectation, I was sad,when I saw many of young people become indifferent ,fraud and lack of ideal.
Are we sick, or is our dear motherland sick?
我很驚訝，當大街上有老人摔倒，我們不敢再去扶起;我很難過，當有人做了好事被報道，更多的人說他做作;我很傷心，當我看到我們眾多的青年人變得冷漠、市儈、欺詐以及缺乏理想。
到底是我們病了，還是我們親愛的祖國病了?
I don't want to talk about the construction of our country politics, and also speak impassioned speech on the Diaoyu Island event .I just want to appeal young people,showing the side of youth,good and must learn to organize our own thoughts, correct our own concept, and change our direction to the right side in future life. China dream actually lies in our young generation, especially of the intellectuals.
我的中國夢，不想大談政治，也不想對釣魚島事件發表慷慨激昂的演講。我只想呼籲，呼籲我們年輕人，呼籲我們祖國的希望能夠將我們的青春一面，將我們的善良一面，將我們的自信一面好好展現出來。我們要學會整理自己的思想，端正自己看問題的觀念，擺正自己的人生方向。我們的中國夢實際上正掌握在我們自己手上，掌握在我們年青一代，尤其是知識分子手上。
Perhaps the strength of a person is small, but when his or her fate is connected with the motherland, he or she will be hero or heroine. Perhaps a dream is tiny, but when it becomes the dream of a country, it becomes inestimable. Perhaps I cannot change our country by my own, but if thousands and thousands of young people struggle for the dream together, our motherland is enough to make the world shock.
也許，一個人，是渺小的;但是當他和祖國聯絡起來時，就是偉大的。也許，一個夢想，是渺小的，但是當它成為祖國的夢想時，就是不可估量的。也許，我無法用自己一個人的力量撬起整個中國，但是我們千千萬萬年輕人一起為祖國的夢想去奮鬥時，我們的祖國就足以令世界顫抖、動容。
I dream to construct our beauty China with millions of young people who have the same dream. We do it without exaggeration but only with persistence.
我夢想和萬千具有相同夢想的年輕人去建設我們的美麗中國，沒有虛浮，只有執著，只有奮鬥，只有勇於擔當。這就是我的中國夢!
That is my speech,thanks everyone.
我的演講就到這裡，謝謝大家。
but here's the thing about my grandfather. underneath this ceremonial role, he was really modest and really introverted -- so much so that when he delivered these sermons, he had trouble making eye contact with the very same congregation that he had been speaking to for 62 years. and even away from the podium, when you called him to say hello, he would often end the conversation prematurely for fear that he was taking up too much of your time. but when he died at the age of 94, the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood to accommodate the crowd of people who came out to mourn him. and so these days i try to learn from my grandfather's example in my own way.
so i just published a book about introversion, and it took me about seven years to write. and for me, that seven years was like total bliss, because i was reading, i was writing, i was thinking, i was researching. it was my version of my grandfather's hours of the day alone in his library. but now all of a sudden my job is very different, and my job is to be out here talking about it, talking about introversion. (laughter) and that's a lot harder for me, because as honored as i am to be here with all of you right now, this is not my natural milieu.
so i prepared for moments like these as best i could. i spent the last year practicing public speaking every chance i could get. and i call this my “year of speaking dangerously.“ (laughter) and that actually helped a lot. but i'll tell you, what helps even more is my sense, my belief, my hope that when it comes to our attitudes to introversion and to quiet and to solitude, we truly are poised on the brink on dramatic change. i mean, we are. and so i am going to leave you now with three calls for action for those who share this vision.
Our school is called “Nan Guan Primary School”. There are a lot of students and teachers in it. It’s famous for its achievement and its beautiful environment.
On the playground, there are all kinds of plants in turns. And if you stand a place, you can see lots of “NOTES” and “SIGNS”. For example, “Be quite, please.” “Don’t litter the rubbish.” And so on. It makes you feel our school sacred(神聖的). In the evening, all the lights are turned on. Everywhere are clear like the days.
I love “Nan Guan Primary School”. Welcome to our school!
I Regain Confidence
I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years. I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted. But one of the panel members told me: "You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged." My life has never been the same since. I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.
As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party. Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English. Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf. To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. As the dwarf, I was a big hit.
Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.
A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.
Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world. I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites. I would rather be myself. I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. Please, be yourself.
我重樹信心
大學生活的幾年裡，當我參加第一次面試時，我的自信心受到了沉重的打擊。我向“學生劇團”申請出演一個主角，而且我十分自信地認為我會被錄用。但是,其中有個劇團成員告訴我:“你似乎不太合適出演這個角色，因為你的身高有點問題。”我從未遇到過這種情況。我穿著高跟鞋來彌補我的身高，採用心理策略和技巧來掩蓋自己信心的缺乏。但是，不論我怎樣努力進入角色，感覺還是缺少些什麼。
作為英語俱樂部的主席，我為英語晚會組織排演了《白雪公主》短劇。不幸的是，我們找不到合適的人選出演最後一個小矮人。這個角色必須生性幽默，英語流利。突然，所有人的目光都轉向了我，我知道那個小矮人就是我了。讓我極度奇怪而又高興的是，一上臺，我完全投入到演出中，而且我那幽默的天性被髮揮得淋漓盡致。作為一個‘’小矮人”，我取得了巨大的成功。
的確，我們中的任何一個人都是千百萬中的一員，但我們中的每個人都是一個與眾不同的個體。發揮我們自己的個性會改變我們的生活，使它們成為美麗的萬花筒。
失去了多樣性的世界是個冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲劇不是個矮、害羞或醜陋，而是將自己的個性迷失在一個克隆的世界裡，那裡到處都是典型的酷男孩或無瑕、迷人的好姑娘。
如果讓我選擇，我寧可面貌五陋，也不願生活在這樣一個世界裡。我寧可做一個伴隨“白雪公主”的真實的小矮人，也不願做“白雪公主”世界裡的一個白雪公主，而隨波逐流。我寧可作為一個真實的自我而出現。我願將自己獨特的、與眾不同的色彩奉獻給多姿多彩的世界。“走自己的路，讓別人去說吧!”
thanksgiving day is the most truly american of the national holidays in the united states and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
in 1620, the settlers, or pilgrims, they sailed to america on the may flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. after a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy november, what is now plymouth, massachusetts.
during their first winter, over half of the settlers died of[1] starvation or epidemics. those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
all summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. and therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the lord be fixed[2]. years later, president of the united states proclaimed the fourth thursday of november as thanksgiving day every year. the celebration of thanksgiving day has been observed on that date until today.
the pattern of the thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. the big family dinner is planned months ahead. on the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. there will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. the best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. they have been the most traditional and favorite food on thanksgiving day throughout the years.
everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing[3] to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. but as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on[4] the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued[5] blessings.
Schoolmates:
When you look the lovable animated cartoon, plays is in a stew human's computer games, rides the fast train, is answering transoceanic telephone time, only your might once realize the science the strength, the science changed this world, also changed our life, the science side us.
Opens for the 20th century the grand chapters, not only we discovered the humanity to experience the blood and the fire baptism in these hundred years, has created the innumerable scientific miracles. 19th century France famous science fiction writer of fiction verne fictionalizing, at that time let the human be inconceivable, he fantasized moon landing travel, the airplane, the long-range gun and so on, all 11 became the reality in the 20th century. In the 21st century today, the high tech is ubiquitous.
As cross-century one generation, how posture should we adapt the new century by, the load get up the new century heavy burden? Not only science and technology changing with each new day, causes the science to serve for the most advanced technique, also more and more many seeps to during ours daily life, this needs us who is in the young people time to deeply love the science, the study science. Participation science and technology “five small” competition, reading science and technology books, caused me to understand many truths. The precise robot, does not use the fuel the automobile, the hypothesized soccer game, high tech information transmission and so on, each one vivid interesting phenomena, aroused me to explore the science the desire.
Our each people all want to study the science, the dissemination civilization, while enjoys the new life, must create the new life, now, the technical product renewal speeds up unceasingly, the visible television, the computer surfer, the pacemaker, already did not calculate was fresh. Vacuum cleaner invented which from 1901, to the artificial earth satellite, carried the human spaceship, the science and technology demonstrates the formidable strength in the different domain. Electronic industry, communication technology daily popularization, nanotechnology, superconductivity material widespread application, soon one day, perhaps in yours dinner table, can appear likely bio-engineering foods and so on outer space green pepper, man-made beefsteak. Studies the science and technology, is not merely in order to become the scientist, also is for can adapt the life, more has been able to become the new century the master, the load gets up the new century, is the national construction, makes the contribution for the human culture.
Since new China had been established, our country's technical development progresses by leaps and bounds, the synthesized insulin, finishes a job plants, the hybrid rice again, explodes atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, launch satellite and airship and so on, these technical achievement which focuses attention on the common people, reduced our country and the advanced countries science and technology disparity greatly, has poured into the vigor for our country's modernization. Grandpa Deng Xiaoping said “the science and technology is the first productive forces”, indeed so, the science has inserted the wing for our motherland soaring. Chairman Mao Zedong once said to the youth that, the world was you, also is we, but is your in the final analysis. This speech, has been full of the elders to our earnest expectation. If the elders have constructed the 20th century motherlands with the industrious work, that, we should by the knowledge, get up the new century heavy burden by the scientific load.
Schoolmates, we are being at the growth developmental stage, the study science, lets us start since childhood. We must learn each kind of literacy class diligently, because this is all study foundation; At the same time, to each kind the popular science books, the publication which suits our elementary student to look, should better read some in the after school; Also should begin to do each science small experiment, the small manufacture positively, writes the science small paper and so on, raises to the science interest. Long this gets down, we can certainly deeply love the science, has the rich scientific knowledge. Humanity's wisdom is infinite, regardless of is US's Challenger number detonation, the whole world computer virus' promotion, always all cannot prevent humanity's advance in technology. “The knowledge is the strength”, Bacon this sentence enjoys great popularity the maxim did not know had driven how many earnestly seeks the knowledge human. Now, lets us also use it to encourage oneself, makes one to deeply love the science the new generation, the load gets up the new century heavy responsibility, for our motherland tomorrow, will compose a more magnificent poem!
Thanks everybody.
英語勵志演講稿篇2中文翻譯：
同學們：
當你們看著可愛的動畫片，玩著迷人的電腦遊戲，坐上快速的列車，接聽著越洋電話的時候，……你可曾意識到科學的力量，科學不僅改變了這個世界，也改變了我們的生活，科學就在我們身邊。
翻開20世紀的壯麗篇章，我們發現人類在這百年中不僅經歷了血與火的洗禮，更創造了無數科學奇蹟。19世紀法國著名科幻小說家凡爾納的虛構，當時讓人不可思議，他所幻想的登月旅行、飛機、遠射程炮等，在20世紀都一一成為現實。在21世紀的今天，高科技更是無處不在。
作為跨世紀的一代，我們又該以怎樣的姿態去適應新世紀，擔起新世紀的重擔呢? 科學技術的日新月異，使得科學不只為尖端技術服務，也越來越多地滲透到我們的日常生活之中，這就需要正處於青少年時代的我們熱愛科學，學習科學。參加科技“五小”比賽、閱讀科技書籍，使我明白了許多道理。精密的機器人，不用燃料的汽車，虛擬的足球賽，高科技資訊的傳送等等，一個個生動有趣的現象，激起了我探索科學的願望。
我們每個人都要學習科學，傳播文明，在享受新生活的同時，更要創造新生活，如今，科技產品的更新換代不斷加快，可視電視、電腦上網、心臟起搏器，已經不算新鮮了。從發明的真空吸塵器，到人造地球衛星、載人宇宙飛船，科技在不同領域裡顯示出了強大的力量。電子產業、通訊技術的日益普及，奈米技術、超導材料的廣泛應用，不久的一天，也許就在你的餐桌上，會出現像太空青椒、人造牛排等生物工程食品。學習科學技術，不僅僅是為了成為科學家，也是為了能適應生活，更為了能成為新世紀的主人，擔起新世紀，為國家建設，為人類文明做出貢獻。
新中國成立以來，我國的科技發展突飛猛進，人工合成胰島素、斷手再植、雜交水稻、爆炸原子彈和氫彈、發射人造衛星和飛船等等，這些令世人矚目的科技成就，大大縮短了我國和先進國家的科學技術的差距，為我國的現代化建設注入了活力。鄧小平爺爺說“科學技術是第一生產力”，的確如此，科學為我們祖國的騰飛插上了翅膀。毛澤東主席曾對青年說，世界是你們的，也是我們的，但歸根結底是你們的。這句話，飽含了長輩們對我們的殷切期望。如果說長輩們用辛勤的勞動建設了20世紀的祖國，那麼，我們就應該以知識、以科學擔起新世紀的重擔。
同學們，我們正處於成長髮育階段，學習科學，讓我們從小做起。我們要努力學好各種文化課，因為這是一切學習的基礎;同時，對各種適合我們國小生看的科普書籍、報刊，最好在課餘多閱讀一些;還應該積極動手搞各種科學小實驗、小製作，寫科學小論文等，培養對科學的興趣。長此下去，我們一定能夠熱愛科學，擁有豐富的科學知識。 人類的智慧是無限的，無論是美國的挑戰者號爆炸，還是全球計算機病毒的升級，從來都不能阻止人類的科技進步。“知識就是力量”，培根這句膾炙人口的格言不知激勵了多少渴求知識的人。如今，讓我們也用它來勉勵自己，做一個熱愛科學的新一代，擔起新世紀的重任，為我們祖國的明天，譜寫出更加輝煌的詩篇!
謝謝大家。
Smoking is not as commonplace and is subject to restrictions in most public places. Before smoking, the best policy is to ask if anyone minds, or wait to see if others smoke. Restaurants often have a section where smoking is permitted; many hotels designate rooms as smoking and non-smoking.
A handshake is the customary greeting for both men and women, although you should wait to see if the woman offers her hand.
Apart from greeting close family members or friends, Americans tend to refrain from greetings that involve hugging and other close physical contact. For the most part, they are unreceptive to being touched during conversation and other social situations.
The standard space between you and your conversation partner should be about two feet. Most U.S. executives will be uncomfortable standing at a closer distance.
Direct eye contact conveys that you are sincere, although it should not be too intense. Certain ethnic groups will look away to show respect.
Friends or acquaintances of the same sex generally do not hold hands.
To point, you may use the index finger, although it's impolite to point at another person.
To beckon someone, wave either all the fingers or just the index finger in a scooping motion, with the palm facing up.
To show approval, there are two common gestures: the “O.K.” sign, formed by making a circle of the thumb and index finger, and the “thumbs up” sign, formed by making a fist and pointing the thumb upward.
HOW ARE TV PICTURES MADE?
A TV picture starts with a TV camera. Some TV cameras are big and some are small. The cameras in TV studios are big. Camera operators roll the big cameras around on wheels. There are usually several big cameras in a TV studio. Cameras used outside a TV studio are smaller. TV camera crews take the smaller cameras to news and sports events.
Some cameras send out live pictures to your TV set. Some cameras make videotapes that get played later on a television program.
All TV cameras need electricity to work. A camera operator points the camera at a scene. The camera picks up light from the scene. It changes this light into an electric signal called the video signal. A microphone changes the sound of people talking or music playing into an electric signal called the audio signal.
Students, guests , teachers and Honorable Judges
Good morning !
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today. my dream is to become a teacher....
As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.
I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.
I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.
I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.
with a sharp cry, marks the landing a human life, the existence of life mean? when the red sun rises in sky. the twinkling of an eye, the sun will be the golden spread to every corner of the world, everything comes back to the earth - - - - - - it is because of the existence of life; the delicate flowers in green leaves dancing in the dark, fireflies blinking singing, lively campus security [ of ] children rolled on the grass - - - - - - these are for life in the presence of. life everywhere, everywhere. life is too precious! there is a life, have competition and struggle, has a life, has happiness and sadness, with life, have hope and ideal, have a life of love. our life is just like a spring blew flower, the world because of flowery life wonderful! some people live, early life flower withered. as we all know, the most basic human needs -- in addition to the air, water and food needs, is safe. newspapers, television, news content more and more people fear, such as fire, flood, tsunami, earthquake, disaster, accident, terrorist attack, war, violence and so on, we have convinced ourselves living environment is not 100% safe.
as a student, one year has most of the time in the school and the surrounding life. in this densely populated area, narrow special environment, safety is always our focus of attention, the relevant departments of the state specially set up relevant laws and regulations, formulate relevant regulations. such as" student injury accident treatment measures"," minor protects a law"," the prevention of juvenile delinquency law", at the same time the country has put forward the " safety responsibility be weightier than mount tai"," safety first, prevention first " principle, at the same time, the state established the safety administration, responsible for the national work safety management, it indicates that the country attaches great importance to security work. investigation shows, our country middle and primary school students in traffic accidents, collapse of buildings, food poisoning, drowning, security accidents, violent crime, death, a daily average of more than 40 people, the equivalent of a day is a class of students lose their flowery life! building congestion causing injuries, but chasing caused by fracture, class is the pencil head injuries, experimental process, drowning, burns ' fights and car crashes and other accidents are impossible to guard against. dry cold figure, these hearts a flutter facts behind what do we see? the dead to their fresh and short life puts to us what caution? hope the teacher, students thinking! we are still a long way to the world, everyone living has left something beautiful! friends, our heart like communication, be able to touch your heart, i feel you the full heart in favor of fighting, even in trembling. we should let his life in mind fighting through, like leaves, like xie hua, smart, smart, do on the life of no regrets, let the light of life brilliant forever. treasures the life, even if life is only a moment, then let it become an eternity.
The electric door guard has replaced the traditional "door lady" in a dormitory at Shanghai Songjiang University City, within the range of many universities.
In the future, more electric door guards will take the place of "door ladies."
The electric door guard operates under an IC card system, with students using IC cards to enter. Each resident student is issued an IC card with his/her personal information stored on it. Information like the card-holding student's name, major, grade, and even time of entry will be stored on their IC card. The door has also been equipped with a "digital eye" to take video 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
With the new "door guard" already on duty, students began to discuss the pros and cons of the latest renovation to their dorm in community forums.
Some complained that having to take their IC card everywhere is inconvenient, adding that the system is not always reliable. They noted times when the system failed to recognize them and they had to call repair workers to fix it.
Others say the former "door lady" was more flexible and gave them a sense of "home." Sometimes when a student had to stay out late, to study or for other business, the door lady would wait for them and let them in if they told her beforehand. Or when students' parents came to visit, the door lady would let them in. But now, all of these conveniences seem impossible.
Still, students admit that the electric door guard is much safer, as it prevents thieves as well as unwelcome salesmen from entering their dorm. In this way, the electric door guard has its own advantages.
The school's authorities say the new system needs some time to improve and that students need time to get used to it. The school has said it will consider the inconveniences brought along with the new door guard and attempt to solve them by other means. On the whole, the new system seems to be good for students living in the dorm building.
Dear Judges and Friends,
The topic for my speech today is “Festival.” I would like to talk about myfavorite festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In China we have several important festivals, such as the Spring Festival,the Lantern Festival, the Dragon-boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn g them, I like Mid-Autumn festival best, especially because I live inXiamen.
In Xiamen, when we celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival, we do not only followthe common practices such as having a big dinner party with our family, eatingmooncakes, and appreciating the full moon at night, we also have one uniquecustom which is only practiced in Xiamen, that is “Bo Bing”.
“Bo Bing” is a very interesting game that almost all Xiamen people playduring this festival. Usually family members or close friends get togetheraround a table with a big round bowl in the middle and six dices in the bowl. Wetake turns to throw the dices into the bowl. We will get different prizesaccroding to the different ways the dices show their upper sides. Everyone islikely to become the champion or “Zhuangyuan” for the year. There is an elementof luck and equal opportunity in this game. So people usually get excited whileplaying. Also, the game gives very pleasant sounds. The tinkling made by thedices falling into the bowl is pleasant, people’s laughing, cheering andapplauding for the big prizes they’ve won is pleasant. All this adds greatly tothe joyful atmosphere of this festival. As a kid, of course I also like thematerial prizes I get from the game, such as a candy or a cake.
In this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, my family invited our foreign friendsto come to our home to celebrate the Festival together. They have two childrenwho are younger than me. While our parents were making Jiaozi together, we kidsplayed “Bo Bing”. We bought quite some gifts to share with our guests as enjoyed the game and our get-together very much.
The literal translation of “Bo Bing” is “mooncake gambling.” But actuallyit is not gambling, at least our family never plays it that way. For us, it ismore an occasion of happy sharing and getting-together. This is why Xiamen’sMid-Autumn Festival has become my favorite festival in the year.
Thank you very much!
As you slowly open your eyes, look around , notice where the light comesinto your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize;feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in theair. Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day!And most importantly, it is a new beginning for your life, a beginning where youare going to make new desicisions, take new actions, make new friends, and takeyour life to a totally unprecedented level! You know all this is real as long asyou are confident,passionate and committed! And you are confident, you arepassionate, you are committed!
You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions,using your body in new ways,approaching new people, and asking new will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you willshow your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You willfocus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. Youwill never succumb to challenges of hardships. You will never waver in yourpursuit of excellence. After all,you are the best, and you deserve the best!
As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best thingsin the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. Youmust do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take theactions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. I know you must doit, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!

as a country that pays great attention to courtesy, our cuisine culture isdeep rooted in china''s history. as a visitor or guest in either a chinese homeorrestaurant you will find that table manners are essential and the distinctivecourtesies displayed will invariably add to the enjoyment of your meals and keepyou in high spirits!
on the eighth day of the last month in the chinese lunar calendar, peoplewill enjoy a nourishing porridge called ''la ba zhou''. in ancient times, monkswould kindly share all sorts of food grains with people and made them flavorfulporridge on this particular day. people still keep this convention.
in central china, when a baby is born, the happy father will send redboiled eggs to announce the news. eggs with a black pointed end and dots in aneven number such as six or eight, indicates a boy''s birth; those without ablack point and in an odd number like a five or seven will say the baby is agirl.
in addition to these, fish has always been used to suggest the accumulationof prosperity and wealth with meals on new year''s eve.
honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
first of all, let me take this chance to present to you a set of data that i hope won't bore you since the source is china daily.
china's tourism revenue last year reached 500 billion rmb, an increase of 10.5 percent from the year before, and comprised more than 5% of china's gdp. according to experts, this number will grow to 8% in the coming ten years and more than 40 million jobs will be created.
as a student majoring in economics, i can't be more sensitive to the essential meanings behind these numbers. they mean progress, prosperity, employment and stability.
however, as a conscientious chinese and citizen of the world, i can't help but care more about the losses incurred in this transaction, by which i mean the disturbing images of environmental destruction, which leads to ecological crisis. the global environment has changed for the worse during the past few years, and tourism is partly to blame. take china for example, in order to attract tourists, many unknown places are built into resorts. forests are cleared, prairies trampled, rivers and lakes 6)contaminated, wild animals are driven away, plants jeopardized and secluded populations disturbed.
if this seems too remote and abstract, my own traveling experience may speak louder here. last year i took a tour around emei mountain in sichuan province. like most tourists, i was eager to embrace nature and enjoy its beauty. however, as soon as i got on the bus, the stench of gasoline and the noise of the engine tainted my appreciation of the wonderful scenery and the tranquility of the country road. when we finally arrived, what i saw was not a beautiful landscape but crowds of people; what i heard was not the melodious singing of birds, but yelling and bargaining from the gift shops; what i smelled was not the fresh mountain air, but stinking suffocating smoke coming out of small dirty restaurants. moreover, i could not understand why the lovely monkeys living there had to take photos with tourists all day; why the beautiful butterflies and flowers had become lifeless samples in shop windows; why the strongest impressions i had was trash scattered everywhere on the ground.
however, this is not the end of the story. before i left emei, i met a group of kids in an ecotourism program with the slogan: “experiencing, learning and protecting.” when i saw their young hands picking up trash from the ground, when i felt their enjoyment and harmonious relationship with the animals, when i found their purest eyes filled with passion and love for nature, i realized to my great satisfaction that there doesn't have to be a tradeoff between tourism and ecology, because deep within us is an inclination toward natural beauty and a desire to protect it. yes, environmental problems will eventually ease with the advancement of science and technology and improvement of our management system. however, an increase of ecological education and hands-on environmental involvement of our fellow citizens will do even better. to realize this, the best way for us lies in tourism itself because nothing other than nature can teach us how to love and cherish our sweetest home. at the end of my speech, please let me quote bob dylan:
how many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
how many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
how many years can a mountain exist before it's washed to the sea?
the answer, my friend, is not in the wind-the answer is ours! thank you!
failure is the mother of success. sometimes people have to cope with many mistakes and failures in order to reach the successful finals. while others might succumb to failure, they tend to retreat and give in their efforts. success often provides confidence and satisfaction, nevertheless failure companies with bitter, saddness, and suffering. it seems people have to learn through each experience, as success doesn‘t always falls from heaven.
i remembered i used to fail on my vocabury test when i was in high school. i had problem to memorize new words which got lloose each day. i almost decided to give up english, but was obliged to one of my neighbour classmates who kept on sending small sheet for me. in the end of the semester, i found i had finished my vocabulary book which became a work force in reading english. i then realized that a new word came and left our brains for several times. nobody is born as genius for success. success tends to arrive after a serial of trials and failures.
of course, success brings confidence and victory. but, life is not always easy and comfortable. there are more difficulties than eases in the real life. it is likely that we have to face some failures ahead. therefore, those who learn how to deal and endure failures will taste their success eventuallyfailure is the mother of success. sometimes people have to cope with many mistakes and failures in order to reach the successful finals. while others might succumb to failure, they tend to retreat and give in their efforts. success often provides confidence and satisfaction, nevertheless failure companies with bitter, saddness, and suffering. it seems people have to learn through each experience, as success doesn‘t always falls from heaven.

Hello everybody, I am pleased to stand here and start my speech. I like dogs. No matter what kind of dog. Dogs are a very insecure animals.
Even if you walk alone in the dark, as long as there is nothing to fear, accompanied by dogs. Anyone who does not want to be protected it? Our family has a lot of dogs, they are well behaved, a good listener, always nice to sleep, eat. To not re-open defecation. They are sensible. High school to go home every day after school, they are always waiting for me at the stairs.
I'm always chasing its tail at the sight. Dogs are a very friendly animal. They always know what you need, but lonely and helpless when they will entertain themselves out from the stay with you.
They would take advantage of your hand, will be spoiled. Issued very cute voice. I like dogs. No matter what kind dog .
翻譯：大家好，我很高興站在這裡，開始我的演講。我喜歡狗。無論什麼樣的狗。狗是一種非常不安全的動物。
即使你獨自一人在黑暗中行走，只要沒有什麼可以害怕的，伴著狗。任何不想被保護的人嗎?我們的家庭有很多的狗，他們是很好的行為，一個很好的聽眾，總是很好的睡眠，吃。不重新開放排便。他們是明智的。高中每天放學回家後，他們總是在樓梯上等我。
我總是在視線中追逐它的尾巴。狗是一種非常友好的動物。他們總是知道你需要什麼，但孤獨無助的時候，他們會從你的陪伴下離開。
他們會利用你的手，會被寵壞的。發出非常可愛的聲音。我喜歡狗。無論什麼樣的狗。
once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way. as he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly. he looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him. quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out. a sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: “hey, chicken! watch out your leg, it’s out!” the ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: “ shi…i am going to trip that elephant.”
right now, i’m standing on this glamorous stage. but everything here reminds me of is a not so fun memory. around this time last year i was in nanjing competing in another speech contest. that was the first time for me to be in such a large event. of course the pressure i was under was immense too. after a sleepless and stressful night, i went onto that stage without the feeling in my legs. that speech turned out to be horrible. i don’t remember how i get down from there, but i do remember afterwards i just wanted to find a hole to hide in just like the ant in the story. back at my school, it took a long time for me to recover. thanks to all the help i got from my special friends. my confidence was restored. after rounds of giving speeches and answering tough questions, i am here today. from all that i’ve been through i’ve learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if i want my life to go on well i have to let go of my past failure. so today, with out fear, i am tripping my elephant again.
There is no perfect individual only perfect team. A philosopher once asked "how can a drop of water does not dry?" And the philosopher answered saying "put it in the sea." This short dialogue also reveals a profound truth: between individuals and others to support each other the only support from the team or others will have infinite strength. If without the support of others to you there is no group of policy strength of each member of the team we will not be able to overcome the heavy obstacles through behing XianGuan. Left the team even though you pulled out all the stops in front of difficulties will eventually be exhausted one day.
One day I on the way home suddenly the heavy rain. People ran forward a look at a hut we rush in under the heavy rain everyone very happy: "wow lucky today just looking for a house heavy rain is coming!" You also don't concern house do not clean as long as there is like a shelter. But the house in the wind and rain to fall suddenly everyone try their best to hold it don't let it fall. I have a lot of regrets is that we need a house or a house needs us? I see more is that we need to the house.
We identify center like this hut "such" for everyone. But at the same time also need to each of us has done his duty gave his strength she could only stand in the storm of the fierce market competition become a one hundred - year - old built to last.
