our society worships talent, and many people assume that possessing superior intelligence or ability—along with confidence in that ability—is a recipe for learning language very well.
the students who held a fi_ed mind-set, however, were concerned about looking smart with little regard for learning. they had negative views of effort, believing that having to work hard at something was a sign of low ability. they thought that a person with talent or intelligence did not need to work hard to do well. they have talent ,so they learn language faster and better .
in my opinion, a man who has talent for learning language can learn better and faster if he pay attention to the leatning for language.it can make a very importent role.it is important of learn.

there are many people who think that wealth is better than health. i used to think so until one day i read a story about howard hughes. he was an american billionaire who got anything he wanted. however, in the last twenty years of his life, his health began to deteriorate and he was miserable. he had the best doctors and nurses. however, he could still find no relief. i realized that health is worth all the money in the world. if you have millions of dollars but your health is poor, you will not be able to do what you want to do. so i would like to say don’t hurt yourself trying to make money. instead take care of your body and be happy with what you do have. health is more important.
which is more important, health or wealth? it is a hot topic among people. i can hardly answer this question. i didn’t realize that health is more imporant until i saw a businessman’s real life.
a successful businessman, one of my father’s friends, devoted himseff to his business. he works from morning to night every day. there is no weekends in his mind. he often says, "i must earn much money so that i can get what i want. "lately, he is ill. though he has a lot of money, he can do nothing but lie in the hospital’s bed.
so i think health is more important than wealth“people can do nothing if they are always in poor health, let alone happiness. no matter we are rich or not, we can not ignore the importance of health.
中文翻譯:
很多人都認(rèn)為財(cái)富宮比健康更重要。在讀到howard hughes的故事之前,我也是這么認(rèn)為的。howard hughes是美國(guó)的一個(gè)億萬(wàn)富翁,能得到他想得到的任何東西。但是在他生命最后的二十年中,他的身體變得很糟糕,他很悲慘。他有最好的醫(yī)生和護(hù)士,但仍得不到解脫。我意識(shí)到在這個(gè)世界上,好的身體抵得上所有的金錢。因?yàn)榧词鼓阌邪偃f(wàn)美元但身體糟糕,也不能做你想做的事情。因此我想說(shuō)的是關(guān)心你的身體,對(duì)你所擁有的一切感到高興,不要為掙錢損害你的身體。健康更重要。
健康和財(cái)富哪個(gè)更重要?這是人們常愛(ài)談?wù)摰囊粋€(gè)話題。我以前回答不出這個(gè)問(wèn)題,但是現(xiàn)在從一個(gè)商人的真實(shí)生活中我意識(shí)到健康更重要。
我父親的一位朋友,一個(gè)成功的商人,全身心投入到他的工作中。每天從早工作到晚,在他心目中根本沒(méi)有周末的概念。他經(jīng)常說(shuō):“我必須多掙錢,這樣就可以想干什么就干什么。”近來(lái),他病倒了,除了躺在醫(yī)院病床上,什么也不能做。
所以,我認(rèn)為健康比財(cái)富更重要。如果一個(gè)人身體總是不好,他什么也做不成,更不用談幸福了。不管我們貧窮還是富有,都不能忽視健康的重要性。

when we have something annoy us, we will naturally to find someone to talk about it, the first choice is friend. we will not talk about it in front of our parents, because we don’t want them to worry about us. friend is so important in our life, we have many friends, we will share our happiness and sorrow with them, we hang out together, in a word, friends are part of our life. what will happened if someone have no friend? we hear from the news that the crime people are isolated by others, most of them have no friends, their view point about the world is distorted. without friends, people have no where to relieve their emotion, the long time’s depression of the emotion distract people from the normal life. so friends are very important, we can’t live without friends.
當(dāng)我們有煩惱的時(shí)候,自然地,我們會(huì)找人來(lái)談?wù)?,朋友是第一選擇。我們不會(huì)在父母面前談?wù)摕?,因?yàn)槲覀儾幌胱屗麄儞?dān)心。朋友在我們的生命中很重要,我們有很多朋友,和他們分享我們的喜怒哀樂(lè),一起出去晃蕩,總的來(lái)說(shuō),朋友是我們生活中的一部分。如果沒(méi)有朋友會(huì)變得怎樣呢?我們從新聞上看到犯罪的人被人隔離,他們大部分人沒(méi)有朋友,他們的世界觀是扭曲的。沒(méi)有朋友,人們就無(wú)處釋放情緒,長(zhǎng)期壓抑的情緒讓人們脫離正常生活。因此朋友很重要,我們不能沒(méi)有朋友。

ted英語(yǔ)演講:彩繪及社區(qū)燒烤活動(dòng)的重要性
演說(shuō)者:haas&hahn
dre urhahn: this theater is built on copacabana, which is the most famous beach in the world, but 25 kilometers away from here in the north zone of rio lies a community called vila cruzeiro, and roughly 60,000 people live there. now, the people here in rio mostly know vila cruzeiro from the news, and unfortunately, news from vila cruzeiro often is not good news. but vila cruzeiro is also the place where our story begins.
dre urhahn:這個(gè)劇院建在科巴卡巴那,科巴卡巴那是世界上最有名的海灘,但離這里25千米遠(yuǎn)的地方在里約熱內(nèi)盧的北部,有一個(gè)叫維拉克魯塞羅的社區(qū),大約有六萬(wàn)人住在那里。在里約熱內(nèi)盧的人大多只在新聞里得知維拉克魯塞羅,不幸的是,來(lái)自維拉克魯塞羅的新聞通常是不好的。不過(guò)維拉克魯塞羅也是我們的故事開始的地方。
jeroen koolhaas: ten years ago, we first came to rio to shoot a documentary about life in the favelas.now, we learned that favelas are informal communities. they emerged over the years when immigrants from the countryside came to the cities looking for work, like cities within the cities, known for problems like crime, poverty, and the violent drug war between police and the drug gangs.
jeroen koolhaas:十年前,我們第一次來(lái)到里約熱內(nèi)盧,來(lái)拍攝一部關(guān)于貧民窟生活的紀(jì)錄片?,F(xiàn)在我們知道貧民窟是非正式的社區(qū),隨著周邊村民進(jìn)城務(wù)工這個(gè)社區(qū)逐年壯大起來(lái)。如同城市里被分割出的又一座城,貧民窟以犯罪,貧困以及警察與毒品團(tuán)伙之間的暴力沖突這樣的問(wèn)題而聞名。
so what struck us was that these were communities that the people who lived there had built with their own hands, without a master plan and like a giant work in progress. where we"re from, in holland, everything is planned. we even have rules for how to follow the rules.
讓我們震撼的是 這些社區(qū)是住在這里的人們用自己的雙手建成的,這里沒(méi)有總體計(jì)劃,而是一直在進(jìn)行的浩大工程。我們來(lái)自荷蘭,在荷蘭,一切都是計(jì)劃好的。我們甚至有"如何遵守規(guī)則"的規(guī)則。
du: so the last day of filming, we ended up in vila cruzeiro, and we were sitting down and we had a drink, and we were overlooking this hill with all these houses, and most of these houses looked unfinished, and they had walls of bare brick, but we saw some of these houses which were plastered and painted, and suddenly we had this idea: what would it look like if all these houses would be plastered and painted?
dre urhahn:拍攝的最后一天,我們到了維拉克魯塞羅,我們坐著一邊喝東西,一邊遠(yuǎn)眺著這座山。山上有許多房屋,大部分房屋看起來(lái)都還沒(méi)建好,它們的外墻都是裸露的磚塊,但我們看見(jiàn)其中的一些房子已經(jīng)粉刷好并上了漆,我們突然有了一個(gè)想法。如果把這山上所有的房子都進(jìn)行粉刷并上漆,將是怎樣一種景象?
and then we imagined one big design, one big work of art. who would e_pect something like that in a place like this? so we thought, would that even be possible? so first we started to count the houses, but we soon lost count. but somehow the idea stuck.
然后我們想象了一個(gè)大設(shè)計(jì),一件宏大的藝術(shù)作品。誰(shuí)會(huì)想到在這種地方會(huì)有這樣的東西?我們就想這個(gè)計(jì)劃可行嗎?于是我們先開始數(shù)這些房子,可沒(méi)一會(huì)我們就數(shù)糊涂了。 但不知為什么這個(gè)想法揮之不去。
jk: we had a friend. he ran an ngo in vila cruzeiro. his name was nanko, and he also liked the idea. he said, "you know, everybody here would pretty much love to have their houses plastered and painted. it"s when a house is finished."
jeroen koolhaas:我們有個(gè)朋友,他在維拉克魯塞羅運(yùn)營(yíng)著一個(gè)非政府組織,他的名字叫南科,他也很喜歡我們這個(gè)想法。他說(shuō):"你們知道嗎?其實(shí)這里所有的人都很想給自己的房子粉刷并上漆,全部都刷好時(shí)才叫蓋好了房子。"
so he introduced us to the right people, and vitor and maurinho became our crew. we picked three houses in the center of the community and we start here. we made a few designs,and everybody liked this design of a boy flying a kite the best. so we started painting, and the first thing we did was to paint everything blue, and we thought that looked already pretty good.
于是他給我們介紹了兩個(gè)得力人選,就這樣,維托和穆里尼奧加入了我們。我們選了社區(qū)中心的三所房子,我們從這三所房子開始,我們做了一些設(shè)計(jì),其中那個(gè)男孩放風(fēng)箏的設(shè)計(jì)成了大家的最愛(ài)。于是我們開始粉刷,粉刷的第一步就是將所有房屋都刷成藍(lán)色,刷完之后我們覺(jué)得已經(jīng)很不錯(cuò)了。
but they hated it. the people who lived there really hated it. they said, "what did you do? you painted our house in e_actly the same color as the police station." (laughter) in a favela, that is not a good thing. also the same color as the prison cell.
但居民們不買賬,他們討厭極了我們刷的藍(lán)色,他們說(shuō):"你們做了什么?你們給我們的房子刷的這個(gè)顏色,跟警察局那顏色一模一樣。" 在貧民窟,這可不是件好事。這顏色也跟監(jiān)獄的顏色一模一樣。
so we quickly went ahead and we painted the boy, and then we thought we were finished, we were really happy, but still, it wasn"t good because the little kids started coming up to us,and they said, "you know, there"s a boy flying the kite, but where is his kite?" we said, "uh, it"s art. you know, you have to imagine the kite." (laughter)
所以我們火速進(jìn)行下一步,我們畫出了那個(gè)男孩,然后我們以為我們完成了,我們非常開心,但是,這還不好,因?yàn)橐恍┬『⒆娱_始來(lái)找我們,他們說(shuō):"那是個(gè)男孩在放風(fēng)箏,但風(fēng)箏在哪兒?"我們說(shuō):"額,這是藝術(shù)你得想像出那個(gè)風(fēng)箏。"(笑聲)
and they said, "no, no, no, we want to see the kite." so we quickly installed a kite way up high on the hill, so that you could see the boy flying the kite and you could actually see a kite. so the local news started writing about it, which was great, and then even the guardian wrote about it: "notorious slum becomes open-air gallery."
然后他們說(shuō) :"不不不,我們想看到那個(gè)風(fēng)箏。"所以我們很快安上了一個(gè)風(fēng)箏,在高高的山上,這樣你就能看見(jiàn)一個(gè)男孩在放風(fēng)箏,你真的能看見(jiàn)一個(gè)風(fēng)箏。當(dāng)?shù)氐男侣勯_始寫有關(guān)它的報(bào)道,這非常好,甚至英國(guó)衛(wèi)報(bào)也寫了有關(guān)它的報(bào)道: "臭名昭著的貧民窟成露天畫廊"。
jk: so, encouraged by this success, we went back to rio for a second project, and we stumbled upon this street. it was covered in concrete to prevent mudslides, and somehow we saw a sort of river in it,and we imagined this river to be a river in japanese style with koi carp swimming upstream.
jeroen koolhaas:被成功所鼓舞,我們沖著第二個(gè)項(xiàng)目又回到了里約熱內(nèi)盧。我們不知不覺(jué)來(lái)到了這條路上,這條路為了防止泥石流而鋪上了水泥,而我們仿佛看到了一條河,然后我們想像這河是日式風(fēng)格的,河中有鯉魚逆流而上。
so we decided to paint that river, and we invited rob admiraal, who is a tattoo artist, and he specialized in the japanese style. so little did we know that we would spend almost an entire year painting that river,together with geovani and robinho and vitor, who lived nearby. and we even moved into the neighborhood when one of the guys that lived on the street, elias, told us that we could come and live in his house, together with his family, which was fantastic.
于是我們決定畫出這條河,我們邀請(qǐng)了羅布·阿德米亞,他是個(gè)紋身藝術(shù)家,他擅長(zhǎng)日式風(fēng)格。我們哪里知道我們接下來(lái)幾乎花了一整年的時(shí)間來(lái)畫這條河,和住在附近的喬瓦尼,羅比尼奧和維托一起。我們甚至住進(jìn)了"河"附近的街道,一個(gè)住在那條街上的人,艾利亞斯邀請(qǐng)我們和他家人一起住,這非常棒。
unfortunately, during that time, another war broke out between the police and the drug gangs. (video) (gunfire) we learned that during those times,people in communities really stick together during these times of hardship, but we also learned a very important element, the importance of barbecues. (laughter) because, when you throw a barbecue, it turns you from a guest into a host, so we decided to throw one almost every other week, and we got to know everybody in the neighborhood.
不幸的是,在那時(shí)候,在警察和販毒團(tuán)伙之間又爆發(fā)了一場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。 (視頻)(槍聲)我們明白了在這種時(shí)候,社區(qū)里的人們真的非常團(tuán)結(jié),他們一起共渡難關(guān)。我們還明白了一個(gè)東西的重要性,燒烤的重要性。(笑聲)因?yàn)楫?dāng)你開燒烤派對(duì)的時(shí)候,你從客人變成了主人,所以我們決定幾乎每隔一周都開一次燒烤派對(duì),然后我們認(rèn)識(shí)了社區(qū)里的每一個(gè)人。
jk: we still had this idea of the hill, though.
jeroen koolhaas:但我們還有對(duì)這個(gè)山的想法。
du: yeah, yeah, we were talking about the scale of this, because this painting was incredibly big, and it was insanely detailed, and this process almost drove us completely insane ourselves. but we figured that maybe, during this process, all the time that we had spent in the neighborhood was maybe actually even more important than the painting itself.
dre urhahn:對(duì),對(duì),我們討論了它的比例,因?yàn)檫@個(gè)畫作異常巨大,又有無(wú)數(shù)細(xì)節(jié),這個(gè)過(guò)程幾乎把我們完全逼瘋。但是我們想到,也許在這個(gè)過(guò)程中,我們?cè)谏鐓^(qū)里度過(guò)的時(shí)光,可能實(shí)際上比繪畫本身更加重要。
jk: so after all that time, this hill, this idea was still there, and we started to make sketches, models, and we figured something out. we figured that our ideas, our designs had to be a little bit more simple than that last project so that we could paint with more people and cover more houses at the same time.
jeroen koolhaas:在那么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間之后,這個(gè)山,這個(gè)想法還在,我們開始畫草稿,模型,然后我們明白了一些東西。我們明白了,我們的想法和設(shè)計(jì)要比上次的項(xiàng)目更加簡(jiǎn)單一些,這樣我們就可以讓更多人一起來(lái)畫,并同時(shí)覆蓋更多的房子。
and we had an opportunity to try that out in a community in the central part of rio, which is called santa marta, and we made a design for this place which looked like this, and then we got people to go along with it because turns out that if your idea is ridiculously big, it"s easier to get people to go along with this.
在里約熱內(nèi)盧中心的一個(gè)叫做圣瑪爾塔的社區(qū),我們有了個(gè)實(shí)踐這個(gè)想法的機(jī)會(huì)。我們給這個(gè)地方做了個(gè)這樣的設(shè)計(jì),然后我們說(shuō)服人們接受了這個(gè)設(shè)計(jì),因?yàn)槭聦?shí)是,如果你的想法大得荒唐的話,就更容易得到大家的贊成。
and the people of santa marta got together and in a little over a month they turned that square into this. (applause) and this image somehow went all over the world.
圣瑪爾塔的居民 聚到了一起并在一個(gè)月多一點(diǎn)的時(shí)間內(nèi),他們把那個(gè)廣場(chǎng)變成了這個(gè)樣子。(掌聲)不知怎么回事這張照片傳遍了全球。
du: so then we received an une_pected phone call from the philadelphia mural arts program, and they had this question if this idea, our approach, if this would actually work in north philly, which is one of the poorest neighborhoods in the united states.
dre urhahn:我們接到了一個(gè)意外的電話,這個(gè)電話來(lái)自費(fèi)城壁畫藝術(shù)計(jì)劃,他們有個(gè)問(wèn)題,我們的想法、我們的方法,能否在費(fèi)城北部實(shí)施,費(fèi)城北部是全美最貧困的社區(qū)之一。
so we immediately said yes. we had no idea how, but it seemed like a very interesting challenge, so we did e_actly the same as we did in rio, and we moved into the neighborhood and started barbecuing. (laughter) so the project took almost two years to complete,and we made individual designs for every single house on the avenue that we painted, and we made these designs together with the local store owners, the building owners, and a team of about a dozen young men and women. they were hired, and then they were trained as painters, and together they transformed their own neighborhood, the whole street, into a giant patchwork of color. (applause) and at the end, the city of philadelphia thanked every single one of them and gave them a merit for their accomplishment.
我們馬上答應(yīng)了,我們不知道怎么做,但這看起來(lái)是個(gè)有趣的挑戰(zhàn)。于是我們做了跟在里約熱內(nèi)盧一樣的事,我們住進(jìn)了當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū),開始了燒烤。(笑聲)這個(gè)項(xiàng)目我們花了將近兩年完成, 我們?yōu)檫@條街上的每一個(gè)房子都做了單獨(dú)的設(shè)計(jì), 我們和當(dāng)?shù)氐牡昙液头恐鳎?還有一隊(duì)十來(lái)個(gè)的年輕人, 一起做出了這些設(shè)計(jì)。我們雇傭了他們,然后給他們提供培訓(xùn),他們一起把他們自己的社區(qū),整條街道,改造成了一幅巨大的色彩拼接圖。 (掌聲)最后,費(fèi)城政府 感謝了每個(gè)參與這個(gè)工作的人 并對(duì)他們的成果給予了獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。
jk: so now we had painted a whole street. how about we do this whole hill now? we started looking for funding, but instead, we just ran into questions, like, how many houses are you going to paint? how many square meters is that? how much paint are you going to use, and how many people are you going to employ? and we did try for years to write plans for the funding and answer all those questions, but then we thought, in order to answer all those questions, you have to know e_actly what you"re going to do before you actually get there and start. and maybe it"s a mistake to think like that. it would lose some of the magic that we had learned about that if you go somewhere and you spend time there, you can let the project grow organically and have a life of its own.
jeroen koolhaas:現(xiàn)在我們畫好了整條街, 接下來(lái)是不是該著手這座山了? 我們開始尋找資金, 但是,我們遇到了一些問(wèn)題, 比如你們要刷多少棟房子? 那是多少平米? 你們要用多少墻漆? 你們要雇多少人?我們好幾年來(lái)一直試圖 寫投資計(jì)劃書并回答這些問(wèn)題, 但我們又想, 回答這些問(wèn)題, 你需要在你到那里和開始之前 準(zhǔn)確地知道你要干什么。 可能這么想不對(duì)。 它可能會(huì)因此失去我們學(xué)到的一些神奇的東西, 就是如果你去一個(gè)地方,你在那里生活, 你可以讓藝術(shù)項(xiàng)目有機(jī)地生長(zhǎng), 有自己的生命。
du: so what we did is we decided to take this plan and strip it away from all the numbers and all the ideas and presumptions and just go back to the base idea, which was to transform this hill into a giant work of art. and instead of looking for funding, we started a crowdfunding campaign, and in a little over a month, more than 1,500 people put together and donated over 100,000 dollars. so for us, this was an amazing moment, because now — (applause) — because now we finally had the freedom to use all the lessons that we had learned and create a project that was built the same way that the favela was built,from the ground on up, bottom up, with no master plan.
dre urhahn:所以我們做的是 我們決定用這個(gè)計(jì)劃, 撇開它上面所有的數(shù)字, 所有的想法和假設(shè), 然后回到最基本的想法, 就是把這座山 變成一件巨大的藝術(shù)作品。 我們做了一個(gè)群眾募資活動(dòng)而不是尋找投資, 在一個(gè)月多一點(diǎn)的時(shí)間內(nèi), 1500多人一起募集捐贈(zèng)了超過(guò)十萬(wàn)美元。 對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō),這是個(gè)驚喜的時(shí)刻,因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在—— (掌聲) 因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在我們終于有自由 運(yùn)用所有我們學(xué)到的東西 來(lái)創(chuàng)造一個(gè) 跟貧民窟一樣建造起來(lái)的項(xiàng)目, 從地面到房頂,從下而上, 沒(méi)有總體計(jì)劃。
jk: so we went back, and we employed angelo, and he"s a local artist from vila cruzeiro, very talented guy, and he knows almost everybody there, and then we employed elias, our former landlord who invited us into his house, and he"s a master of construction. together with them, we decided where to start. we picked this spot in vila cruzeiro, and houses are being plastered as we speak. and the good thing about them is that they are deciding which houses go ne_t. they"re even printing t-shirts, they"re putting up banners e_plaining everything to everybody, and talking to the press. this article about angelo appeared.
jeroen koolhaas:我們回去雇傭了安杰洛, 他是個(gè)來(lái)自維拉克魯塞羅當(dāng)?shù)氐乃囆g(shù)家, 他是個(gè)有天賦的人,他還認(rèn)識(shí)那里幾乎所有的人, 然后我們雇了我們的前房東艾利亞斯, 他之前邀請(qǐng)過(guò)我們?nèi)プ∷姆孔樱?他是個(gè)建筑大師。 和他們一起,我們決定了從哪里開始。 我們選了維拉克魯塞羅的這個(gè)地方, 此刻這些房子正在粉刷中。 有他們的好處就是 他們來(lái)決定要刷的下一個(gè)房子。 他們甚至印了t恤衫, 他們掛起了條幅,向大家解釋一切, 和媒體交流。 這是有關(guān)安杰洛的報(bào)道。
du: so while this is happening, we are bringing this idea all over the world. so, like the project we did in philadelphia, we are also invited to do workshops, for instance in cura?ao, and right now we"re planning a huge project in haiti.
dre urhahn:與此同時(shí), 我們希望把這個(gè)想法帶到全世界。 像我們?cè)谫M(fèi)城做的項(xiàng)目一樣, 我們也被邀請(qǐng)去開研討會(huì), 比如在庫(kù)拉索, 現(xiàn)在我們正在計(jì)劃在海地的一個(gè)巨大的項(xiàng)目。
jk: so the favela was not only the place where this idea started: it was also the place that made it possible to work without a master plan, because these communities are informal — this was the inspiration — and in a communal effort, together with the people, you can almost work like in an orchestra, where you can have a hundred instruments playing together to create a symphony.
jeroen koolhaas: 所以貧民窟不僅是這個(gè)想法開始的地方, 它也是讓這個(gè)想法得以成真的地方, 這里不需要總體規(guī)劃, 因?yàn)檫@些社區(qū)是非正式的- 這就是我們的靈感來(lái)源- 和這些人一起,用共同的努力, 你可以像在一個(gè)管弦樂(lè)隊(duì)里工作一樣, 你可以有上百個(gè)樂(lè)器, 一起奏響一曲交響樂(lè)。
du: so we want to thank everybody who wanted to become part of this dream and supported us along the way, and we are looking at continuing.
dre urhahn:我們想感謝所有 想成為這個(gè)夢(mèng)想的一部分 并一直支持我們的人, 我們也希望繼續(xù)下去。
jk: yeah. and so one day pretty soon, when the colors start going up on these walls, we hope more people will join us, and join this big dream, and maybe one day, the whole of vila cruzeiro will be painted.
jeroen koolhaas:很快會(huì)有一天, 在色彩爬上這些墻面時(shí), 我們希望更多人能加入我們, 加入這個(gè)巨大的夢(mèng)想, 可能有一天,整個(gè)維拉克魯塞羅 都會(huì)被畫滿。
du: thank you.(applause)
dre urhahn:謝謝。(掌聲)

knowing the consequences of choice
over the past spring festival, i got involved in a family dispute. right before i got home, four satellite channels of cctv were added to the 14 channels we had already had. in prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and i-had to argue over what to watch. finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... if we
could agree what that was.
however, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had tv, there were only one or two channels available. the increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. today, we read english newspapers like the china daily and the 21st century, as well as various chinese newspapers.
fifteen years ago, english majors took only courses in language and literature. today, we also study western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
the emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in china"s history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the chinese nation.
we enjoy the abundance of choice. but this has not come easily.
about 150 years ago, china was forced to open up its door by western canons and gunboats. it has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. the policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.
like others of my age, i"m too young to have e_perienced the time when the chinese people had no right to choose. however, as the ne_t century draws near, it is time to ask: what does choice really mean to us young people?
is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? is choice an empty promise that never materializes? or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
first, i would like to say: to choose means to claim opportunities.
i am a third-year english major. an important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. i can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. i can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in china.
indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. i would love to work in such big cities as beijing or shanghai or shenzhen. i would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. i would love to stay in the coastal area where life is e_citing and fast-paced. i would also love to put down roots in central and western china, which is underdeveloped, but holds
great potential.
all of these sound good. but they are only possibilities. to those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, i would like to say: to choose means to accept challenge.
to us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. in the ne_t century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.
with increasing international e_changes, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. this is calling for a higher level of our personal development.
fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. but today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.
given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.
as we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
as we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. but it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.
economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.
to those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, i would like to say, to choose means to take responsibility. when we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "it"s just my own business. " as policy makers of the ne_t century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.
the traditional chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. to me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. rather, it is the whole of the human family. as i am making my choices, i will not forget the smile of my teacher when i correctly spelled out the word "china" for the first time, i will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of jiang_i province. i will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in bosnia, chechnya and somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty.
all these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. at different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. now as i am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.
選擇的重要性
去年春節(jié)期間,我陷入過(guò)一場(chǎng)家庭紛爭(zhēng)。在我回家之前,我們家的電視除了已有的14個(gè)頻道外又增加了四個(gè)衛(wèi)星頻道。晚上的黃金時(shí)間,每個(gè)頻道的節(jié)目都很精彩.結(jié)果,我們一家五口(父母,兩個(gè)姐姐和我)為了選臺(tái)而爭(zhēng)執(zhí)起來(lái)。最后,我們決定應(yīng)當(dāng)看"最有意思"的節(jié)目——如果我們?cè)谑裁词?最有意思"上可以認(rèn)同的話。
不過(guò)我們?nèi)记宄赜浀茫I了電視后的好長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間里,只有一兩個(gè)頻道可供選擇。電視頻道的增多反映出我們生活中的一個(gè)重大變化:選擇余地的擴(kuò)大。
15年前,我們身著同樣的款式,單一的色調(diào)。而如今,紛繁的花色和眾多的式樣讓我們挑得眼花繚亂。 15年前,英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的學(xué)生只能選語(yǔ)言與文學(xué)課程。而如今,我們還學(xué)習(xí)西方文化,新聞,商務(wù),國(guó)際關(guān)系,甚至還有計(jì)算機(jī)課程。
選擇的涌現(xiàn)標(biāo)志著中國(guó)進(jìn)入了一個(gè)嶄新的時(shí)代,一個(gè)充滿多樣化的時(shí)代,一個(gè)物質(zhì)與精神都愈加豐富的時(shí)代,一個(gè)中華民族獲得新生的時(shí)代。
我們?yōu)檫x擇之多而歡呼雀躍,同時(shí)也深深地感到這一切來(lái)之不易。
一個(gè)半世紀(jì)之前,在西方大炮、戰(zhàn)艦的威通下,中國(guó)被迫打開了國(guó)門。經(jīng)過(guò)祖祖輩輩的抗?fàn)幣c犧牲,我們才最終贏得了當(dāng)家作主的機(jī)會(huì)。改革開放這個(gè)正確的抉擇使一切發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化。
我和其他同齡人一樣,太年輕了、沒(méi)有經(jīng)歷過(guò)中國(guó)人喪失選擇權(quán)的歲月。但是,隨著下個(gè)世紀(jì)的腳步越走越近,我們是該們心自間了:選擇,對(duì)于我們青年一代,到底意味著什么?
選擇,是場(chǎng)靠?jī)e幸來(lái)獲勝的游戲嗎?是句不用兌現(xiàn)的空話嗎?抑或是種讓人知難而退的困境?
首先,我認(rèn)為,選擇意味著抓住機(jī)遇。
我是英語(yǔ)專業(yè)三年級(jí)學(xué)生,我所面臨的一個(gè)重大選擇當(dāng)然是畢業(yè)后的去向。我可以攻讀碩士學(xué)位,或在國(guó)內(nèi),或在國(guó)外。我可以走上工作崗位,做名教師,翻譯,記者,編輯或外交家.實(shí)際上,雙向選擇的體制在我面前鋪開了通向各行各業(yè)的大道。
說(shuō)真的,這個(gè)選擇并不好做。我愿意在像北京、上海、深圳這樣的大都市里工作,我也盼著能回到雖不那么發(fā)達(dá)卻使我倍感親切的故鄉(xiāng)。我希望可以留在生活節(jié)奏快,令人興奮的沿海地帶,我也愿意扎根于廣炭的中西部地區(qū),那里雖然條件艱苦,卻有極大的發(fā)展?jié)摿Α?/p>
所有這一切聽(tīng)上去令人振奮,但它們畢竟只是可能性。有些人面對(duì)五花八門的選擇挑得眼花繚亂,我要告訴他們:選擇就意味著接受挑戰(zhàn)。
對(duì)于我們青年一代,挑戰(zhàn)常以竟?fàn)幍男问匠霈F(xiàn)。到下個(gè)世紀(jì),競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者將不僅只是其他大學(xué)畢業(yè)生,更有各行各業(yè)不同年齡層的人們。
隨著國(guó)際交流的不斷增多,我們得面對(duì)來(lái)自整個(gè)外部世界日益激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng),這就對(duì)我們個(gè)/、的發(fā)展提出了更高的要求。
15年前,懂門外語(yǔ)或會(huì)用計(jì)算機(jī)是個(gè)優(yōu)越條件。但今天,隨著受教育面的拓寬,以上的知識(shí)也成了每個(gè)人必備的條件。
在這種形勢(shì)下,即便最細(xì)小的選擇也要求我們具有極大的智慧和自主精神。
當(dāng)我們面對(duì)選擇不斷增強(qiáng)自己的主動(dòng)性時(shí),每一次選擇的結(jié)果也同樣變得愈加重要。
比方說(shuō),核能可以提高人民的生活水平,可它同樣也能毀滅千百萬(wàn)人的生命財(cái)產(chǎn)。
經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展使我們富裕起來(lái),卻也給我們的空氣、水、健康帶來(lái)了嚴(yán)重危害。有些人對(duì)選擇的后果毫不在乎,我要對(duì)他們說(shuō):選擇還意味著承擔(dān)責(zé)任。我們替自己做選擇時(shí),不能隨口一句"這不關(guān)別人的事"。作為下個(gè)世紀(jì)的決策者,我們必須承擔(dān)對(duì)和我們共同擁有這個(gè)地球的人們所負(fù)的責(zé)任。
傳統(tǒng)的中華文化教育我們,要勃奮學(xué)習(xí),努力工作,以榮耀家門。然而我認(rèn)為,這個(gè)家門并不只指諸如我的那個(gè)爭(zhēng)看電視的五口小家。更確切地說(shuō),它指的是整個(gè)人類這個(gè)大家庭。當(dāng)我為自己的未來(lái)做出選擇時(shí),我不會(huì)忘記自己第一次正確讀出"china"這個(gè)單詞時(shí)老師臉上的笑容。我也不會(huì)忘記在我們的幫助下重返校園的江西山區(qū)的孩子們興奮的臉龐。我更不會(huì)忘記飽受戰(zhàn)火、饑荒、貧困蹂蹦的波斯尼亞、車臣、索馬里,不會(huì)忘記那里成千上萬(wàn)的婦女兒童淚水模糊的雙眼。
所有這些我認(rèn)識(shí)或不認(rèn)識(shí)的人們組成了人類這個(gè)大家庭。他們從不同的時(shí)空中走進(jìn)了我的生活,開拓了我的視野?,F(xiàn)在,我將為自己做出抉擇,該是為使他們的生活變得美好而奮斗的時(shí)候了。因?yàn)橹挥挟?dāng)每個(gè)人都過(guò)上和平、富足的生活,世界才能成為大家的樂(lè)園.

with the fast development of our society life-long learning has become very important for everyone. this is because one needs lo acquire new knowledge continuously in order to meet the needs of his work.
there are several ways for one to learn life-long. one way is to take a part-time education program. that means one is studying part time while he is working. the program could be at undergraduate level or graduate level. the second way is to study by yourself. you can learn whatever you need for your work on your own. you can learn from books from tv programs or from radio.
i think that life-long learning is very necessary to us. we can choose either of the two ways mentioned above it depends on your personal preference and interest. i prefer the first one because this kind of learning is systematic and formal. with the help of the teachers it is easier to learn and quicker to get what you need for your work..

英語(yǔ)演講稿:自信心的重要性范文
the importance of confidence
whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. if one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships. this truth seems to be evident. however, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they like the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to be overcome. for someone, this might be true. but for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.
why do people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? there are, among others, two main reasons. first, these people do have a correct estimate of themselves. second, they overestimate the difficulties.
it is possible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude towards one’s abilities. we should never underestimate one’s abilities. but believe in the proverb: “where there is a will, there is a way.” confidence is the promise for fulfilling a task successfully.
