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.
女士們,先生們,下午好:
當(dāng)我在小學(xué)的時候,我有一個夢想。我想發(fā)明一種裝置,可以使你從一個地方在沒有時間到另一個地方。當(dāng)我在中學(xué)念書時,我的夢想是我的理想大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。當(dāng)我最終進入了大學(xué),我的夢想是畢業(yè)。
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?
如何可憐!當(dāng)我們長大了,我們的夢想越來越變得更加現(xiàn)實。為什么?為什么我們要改變我們的夢想,因此,因此,為了讓它成為"履行"?為什么我們要投降,所謂的"現(xiàn)實"?其實什么是現(xiàn)實?
ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real. it is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies. flying, for e_ample, 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.
女士們,先生們,實際情況是不是真實的。這是一個障礙,不讓我們所有可能的幻想。飛行,例如,一直是夢想幾千年來人類。一百年前,"人不能飛"他仍然是"現(xiàn)實"之列。現(xiàn)在,如果這是真正的現(xiàn)實,我想知道萊特兄弟怎么辦?你們當(dāng)中有些人是怎么到澳門?只有當(dāng)我們相信,事實是不是真正的騰飛,才能與我們的夢想。
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.
人們說,我們的前途是存在的現(xiàn)實,我們的夢想戰(zhàn)斗。如果不幸的是,先生贏得這場戰(zhàn)爭的現(xiàn)實,那么,我認為沒有人類的未來的。艾滋病將永遠不能治愈的,因為這是現(xiàn)實,人們生活在不發(fā)達的國家將遭受饑餓永遠因為這是現(xiàn)實; 4)不同國家之間的爭端將永遠不會被誤解和不容忍,因為這是現(xiàn)實的解決。
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.
各位,你們有多少人有一個能夠使很多錢的夢想?請舉手。哦,不少你!其實,女士們,先生們,這不是一個夢想,而是一個任務(wù)。我們每個人為了生活,不是嗎?無論如何,我希望你的任務(wù)是可以完成的。你們有多少人認為你已經(jīng)完成你的夢想,而你不夢想了嗎?親愛5)審裁員,你怎么想? cs劉易斯曾經(jīng)說過:"你是活到老,夢想成為新的夢想。"因此,對于我們的未來,請夢想,是不切實際的。
now that i am a university student, my goal is to graduate with e_cellences. 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 countrie

building bridges for the future
i’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. people who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. the old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.
our ancestors liked to build walls. they built walls in beijing, _i’an, nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakes across half our country. they built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. this tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.
for a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.
my perceptions, however, changed after i made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city. my classmates and i were walking with some foreign students. as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads. suddenly one foreign 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 had 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 student. for instance, he told me that some major universities like o_ford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls. i have to admit that we do have many walls in china, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible. we will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.
let me give another e_ample.
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 coldly rejected my request to borrow it, saying, "you can’t borrow this book, you’re not a student here." in the end, i had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy. meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.
at the beginning of this semester, i heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my e_perience wouldn’t be repeated. barriers would be replaced by bridges. an inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library. with globalization and china integrated into the world, i believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.
i know that 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 e_amine their role in the modern world.
and how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? should we tear them down? definitely not. my city, like beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. these walls attract historians, archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history and cultural heritage. walls have become 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 changes in the role of their walls. they are now bridges that link east and west, south and north, and all countries of the world. our cultural heritage will survive globalization.

我是一個快樂男孩。我有許多愛好,比如體育運動,彈鋼琴,唱歌,畫畫等。
among them, travel is my favorist one. i have visited some other cities, like beijing, hainan, chongqing, guang_i, qindao, dalian and so on.
旅游是我的最愛。我去過不少地方,如北京,海南,重慶,廣西,青島,大連等。
everywhere i went, i enjoyed the natural scenery and appreciated the human landscape very much.
每到一處都盡情享受那的自然風(fēng)光與人文風(fēng)情。
not only that, i want to go abroad to take in the beauty of the custom of other countries in the future.
不僅如此,我還希望能出國領(lǐng)略各國的民俗風(fēng)情。
and i even dream about what the life will be when we are on planets other than our earth.
甚至我還夢想著在地球外的其它星球上生活將會是怎樣的。
that is why i’m so interested in the following scientific report recently.
所以最近我對下面這篇科學(xué)報道非常感興趣。
二. 演講部分:
在我們享受的時候懂得珍惜
cherish what we are enjoying
it is a report about the new planet which holds possibility for life.
這是關(guān)于發(fā)現(xiàn)了一顆有生命可能性的星球的報告。
it shows that european astronomers have discovered a new planet, they name it gliese 581 c.
說歐洲天文學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一顆新的星球,代號為“gliese 581c”。
it is about 20.5 light years from our earth. they estimated the planet"s average temperature at between 0 and 40 degrees centigrade. it is orbiting the red dwarf star, gliese 581.
它距地球約20.5光年。他們估計它的平均溫度約在0℃~40℃之間。它圍繞著紅矮星gliese 581運行。
most important of all, it’s an earth-like planet. there might be mountin, sea and liquid water.
最重要的是,這顆星球和地球非常相似,它可能有山巒,有海洋,還有液態(tài)水。
so the astronomers believe that it is potentially habitable.
所以科學(xué)家們相信它能支持生命的存在。
however, gliese 581 c might be "tidally locked" to it’s sun-the dwarf star the way our moon is to the earth.
然而,就像月球一樣,它只會公轉(zhuǎn),不會自轉(zhuǎn)。
it means that it must always show its same face to its sun, and that while one side would be too fiercely hot to support life, the other side would be too cold.
這就意味著它面對紅矮星的一面會太熱不適合生命體而背對紅矮星的一面則會很寒冷。
this report makes me to realize that how valuable our earth is.
這使我認識到我們地球有多么珍貴!
everyday, we can see sunrise and sunset.
我們每天都可以看到日出日落。
the day and night keeps on e_changing. it’s not too hot in the daytime while not to cold at night.
一天早晚有變化,晝夜不停地交換使白天不過分熱,夜晚不過分冷。

清爽的早晨,我可以背著小書包高高興興地去上學(xué)。夕陽西下,我又蹦又跳地回到家。

ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
i am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. i"ve learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. i"ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. i"ve learned about zhang heng(張衡)and i"ve learned about zheng he(鄭和).who says the yellow river civilization has vanished(消失)?i know that my ancestors have made miracles(奇跡)on this fertile land and we"re still making miracles. who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world? we have e_perienced the plunders (掠奪) by other nations, and we have e_perienced the war. yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----china, unyielding and unconquerable!
i once came across an american tourist. she said, "china has a history of five thousand years, but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago, china took the lead in the world, and now it is the us that is leading."my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that we"re still a developing nation, but it doesn"t mean that we can despise (鄙視) ourselves. we have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of. we have reasons to say proudly: we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition (雄心) is even bigger, our challenges (挑戰(zhàn)) are great, but our will is even greater.

21世紀杯英語演講比賽技巧
主要考察選手多方面能力:思維能力、邏輯能力和語言能力。思維能力是指選手在毫無準備的情況下對某一問題的分析能力,對問題理解的深度和寬度等;邏輯能力主要指選手是否有全局觀,是否能合理搭筑整個演講的框架,所闡述觀點的層次性是否清晰;而語言能力則是指選手即席用英語進行交流溝通的能力,可檢驗選手的英語語言熟練度和準確度如何。那么如何應(yīng)對即興演講呢?
即興演講的題目涉及方方面面,從經(jīng)濟、政治、教育、文化、人生到國際問題,包羅萬象。這也是即興演講具有極強挑戰(zhàn)性的原因之一。 題目的范圍之大之廣對參賽選手提出了很高的要求。要求演講者平時養(yǎng)成讀書看報的習(xí)慣,關(guān)注周圍發(fā)生的焦點問題和國際時事,積累各個領(lǐng)域的素材,以便談?wù)撈鹉骋粋€話題時言之有物,有的放矢;要求演講者平時養(yǎng)成思考的習(xí)慣,多聽不同的聲音,從不同角度看問題,看問題有想法、有深度。這些都是賽前的準備工作,應(yīng)多積累、豐富自己的知識內(nèi)容,強化自己的觀點。
好的內(nèi)容包括好的主題以及有說服力的材料做支持。
1.強有力的材料做支持
正如前面討論過的那樣,論據(jù)的類型最基本可分為三種:實例、統(tǒng)計數(shù)字以及引用別人的言語。對于即興演講來說,現(xiàn)場能夠找到恰當(dāng)?shù)慕y(tǒng)計數(shù)字是非常困難的。因此在即興演講時,引用別人的言語和用實例來證明是最常見的兩種方式。那么應(yīng)該選擇哪種類型的例子來做論據(jù)呢?在比賽現(xiàn)場上進行即興演講時,最切實可行的、最容易做到的就是用自己或自己周圍發(fā)生的例子來說明你的觀點,信手拈來,不用絞盡腦汁,演講起來最自如,最自信;這樣做無形之中也強化了自己的可信度,比較容易打動聽眾。
在選擇使用論據(jù)時,尤其是在競賽當(dāng)中,需要特別注意以下兩個原則。
(1)演講的支持材料要切題。
所選擇的支持材料要為你的中心觀點或主題服務(wù),不能偏離這一點,不能跑題。記得一個學(xué)生在參加比賽時,抽到的即興演講題目是,"中國成為世界貿(mào)易組織的成員對于我們國家有什么主要影響?"她在演講中講了一個很長的故事,一個年輕人在海邊拾貝殼,碰到了一個老人,以及和這個老人之間展開的對話。這個故事占了整個演講的三分之二,然后很牽強地把這個故事和她抽到的題目聯(lián)系在一起。盡管她的故事敘述得很流利,但在整個即興演講結(jié)束后,聽眾仍然不知她對這個問題的回答是什么?很顯然,演講者在賽前準備了幾個故事,準備在即興演講時使用。的確,在賽前要做充分的準備,準備各個領(lǐng)域的數(shù)據(jù)、例子、權(quán)威專家的話等,做好充分的調(diào)研,以便在比賽中游刃有余。但切記你所選擇的支持材料一定要與主題相關(guān),為主題服務(wù),能夠幫助聽眾更加深入地了解你的觀點,決不能嘩眾取寵。不切題的即興演講絕不會得高分。
(2)演講的支持材料要貼近聽眾。
演講的支持材料最好是聽眾熟悉的,貼近聽眾,不僅有利于聽眾理解、接受和吸收你的信息,而且容易產(chǎn)生共鳴。筆者作為輔導(dǎo)教師參加過多次的全國英語演講比賽,在比賽中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個很奇怪的現(xiàn)象。有很多學(xué)生舉例子或引用別人的話時,往往愿意用國外的例子或國外名人說的話來支持他們的論點。學(xué)生也許有些許擔(dān)心,"如果用土生土長的例子,外國評委可能會不知道,不了解背景,會影響他們對整個演講的評判。"然而在一次比賽中,一位來自美國的演講專家在做點評時說到,"不用擔(dān)心我們會不了解,或聽不懂。問題是作為一個外國人,我們在這里希望聽到有關(guān)你們國家的人、事、思想、文化,而不是我們國家的名人如林肯、克林頓,他們說了什么,干了什么。"他一語道破了問題的關(guān)鍵,演講者所說的要和你的聽眾拉近距離,講一些本地發(fā)生的事情,發(fā)生的事情對聽眾產(chǎn)生了什么樣的影響,用當(dāng)?shù)氐奈幕?、理念來解釋你的觀點,這樣更容易在聽眾中產(chǎn)生共鳴。但并不是說就一定不能用國外的例子或觀點。要全方位地選擇論據(jù),選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)牟牧蠟槟愕挠^點服務(wù)。
2.好的主題與觀點
(1)切題
切題最重要。一般而言,選手拿到的題目都是以問題的形式出現(xiàn)的。你需要表明在這個問題上的立場和觀點,決不可以含糊其詞,態(tài)度閃爍不定,站在中間,既談好處又談弊端。如果堅持這樣,那么評委和聽眾就會認為你是在逃避,你的觀點不明確,態(tài)度不明朗,那也就很難勝出。這點在cctv杯演講比賽中尤其重要,因為即興演講是為以后的辯論做準備。
(2) 觀點的嚴謹性
觀點需要限制和修飾。要用發(fā)展性的眼光來處理你的觀點。表達觀點的語言本身要嚴謹,準確,盡量避免絕對化的字眼,如 "never, every, all, nothing, nobody"等,這些絕對化判斷太容易遭到攻擊。
觀點本身能夠站得住腳,有充足的材料可以說明論證。
承認你的觀點有修正和完善的余地。你的觀點可能只是你目前認識的一個方面,或者是現(xiàn)階段你的一種想法,它仍然有完善的余地。

honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:
today my topic is ’nuclear power: a blessing or a disaster?’
when the first atomic bomb was dropped on hiroshima, japan, the world was thrust into atomic age. meanwhile in the commence of cold war and during its long term, it had set the world into fear and panic of nuclear war many times.
but over the years, nuclear power has found its way to promote goodness for humankind .it promises to provide clean and efficient energy for the centuries to come.
so whether nuclear power a blessing or a disaster?
there is no firm answer for this question from my own perspective.
ladies and gentlemen, my very initial contact with nuclear power was from a tv programme called green space where i saw for the first time how nuclear power had changed people’s lives and what it had left for the residents’ living around chyrnobil nuclear power plant. unfortunately, it was a sad story.
my heart sank when i saw a boy infant appear on the screen smiling with big blue sparkling eyes. he was so cute and adorable just like all the other kids but he was blinded. what’s more, he had to receive medical treatment everyday to alleviate radiation damage, but still stood little chance of growing up. later i learned that inappropriate operation and equipment design defect was responsible for the tradegy .eight years has past, but the picture of that boy’s smile still appears infront of me and reminds me that nuclear power can be a living devil.
however, with the increasing depletion of resources and the instant demand for energy, clean and efficient nuclear power may seem the best choice.
as an old saying goes ’every sword has two blades.’ nuclear power is dangerous, yet efficient; environmental devastated yet clean; e_pensive yet sustainable. it is a matter of how we use and how we treat it. while let’s beyond all this ,whether nuclear power a blessing or a disaster, it’s ours’ choice.
thank you for listening!

honorable judges and dear fellow students,
just as most people here,when i first saw the topic reform and opening-up policies,a voice came out,saying what a grand scale!then those big events,such as china"s accession to wto,the launch of shenzhou and the submersion of jiaolong flashed through my mind.however,at this moment i stand on the stage as a member of chinese youth,i"m not gonna draw a magnificent blueprint for you.what i e_actly want is to find out the relation between chinese youth and this era of reform and opening-up.
it is known to all that in the past 40 years,china has captured the opportunity provided by globalization and grown rapidly from nobody to the second-largest economy in the world.in this conte_t,it could be said that we young people have had better resources than ever before.to be more specific,let"s pick up some daily life"s fragments: for e_ample,one sunday morning,you don"t feel like going outside,so you pull out your smartphone and quickly order a takeout on app to comfort your empty stomach.in another case ,there"s been a discount on taobao .after struggling with your equipment and the net speed,you finally got your favorite goods at the best prize,because the most complete supply chain and logistic chain worldwide will solve the remaining work for you,so all you have to do is waiting. not to mention the increasing number of people going abroad,with a chinese passport,they are entitled to travel around the world and come back home safely.
but now i wonder how many of you have realized that this convenience,this sense of security does"t come out of air,surely we could regard it as the product of reform and opening-up policies,nevertheless,do you really understand what are behind those achievements?there is a saying, if you live at ease , that is because there are a great many people who are working for you in silence.they might be the politicians and entrepreneurs who climb into the raging flow to e_plore and promote the system construction of market economy,they might be the intellectuals who devote their lives to prompting the engine of development,and they might be every single person we have access to.
in other words,we youth do not take it for granted,the more resources we possess means the more responsibility we will shoulder.when the 95s were claimed to be the new youth in china and the first millennial stepped into campus,baton of the era has also been approaching.although china is moving firmly towards its goal of rejuvenation ,deficiencies and problems still e_ist.so in this sense,we youth ought to grow stronger to sustain the potentiality of development.with the baton in hands,do not afraid to embrace the mercurial society ,do not afraid to change the future.so that as the new youth we could feel more emboldened to say that facing the reform and opening-up policies we are not only the gainers but also the successors!thank you!
決賽二等獎 張亦弛
reform and opening-up : dare to embrace the world
good afternoon everyone, my name is jack. it’s my great privilege to stand here and share my own perspective about 40 years’ reform and opening-up.
through the long history of china, reform is easy to witness. some reforms just shifted the rulers’ name yet had little influence on the society. others, however, can be revolutionary and our reform and opening-up policy is one of them.
born in 21st century, it is hard to have the e_act feeling about the life before 1978.luckily, i can grasp some information from my parents and my grandparents.
on a personal note, the most impressive change that has occurred during the 40 years is people’s concept of living, or to be specific, the concept of allocating their salary. for instance, elder people like my grandparents always cut off their monthly budget and then save the surplus money into the bank account. while young adults are more likely to use the remaining salary to do some investment or with the loan if necessary. i did ask my grandparents why not follow suit, they told me it had risks that they didn’t want to take. apparently, we stand in this period and all know that such kind of trade and investment is helpful to the economy ascent. thanks to mr. deng’s policy, we can now dare to trade both domestically and internationally.
beside economy, swift development in other aspects is also prodigious. as you can see, skyscrapers stand in the city and huts are no more. cars take the main avenue and bikes step aside. various travel modes are available for common civilians. imagine, what kind of condition we may live in if the reform and opening-up policy is absent? do you want to live in the condition that was similar to forty years ago. ok, back to the point, when mentioning transportation, you all know what i am going to talk about is our high speed-rail whose both speed and technology top all over the world. dating back to 40 years ago, it is nearly impossible for people to imagine such changes can literally take place. due to the reform and opening-up, i can now jump out of the well and embrace the world. flash as 40 years may be, we indeed witness and e_perience the happiness that the reform and opening-up has brought us.
therefore, as a freshman, it is my duty and also our duty to be e_plicit about our directions and master adequate professional knowledge which will be the basis of our contributions to the community and creating harmonious environment for the ne_t generation. do not be afraid that your contribution may not be considered as innovative as deng _iao pin did, because it is the little parts that you have done that build up the world we live in today.
in the end, i have to say that reform and opening-up is a great fortune for every chinese. owing to the window it opens for us, i can now embrace the world.
that’s all. thank you.

英語演講比賽演講稿
long long ago, in a land far away, there lived a beautiful young girl.
she was very sad. because her mother had died and her father had married again. his new wife had two ugly daughters, esmerelda and griselda
soon after, her father also died and life immediately(立即) changed for the girl.
"you will be our servant(仆人), "said her stepmother(繼母). "you will do everything we say."
"you must sleep in the kitchens." said the stepsisters.
there she had to do hard work from morning until evening, get up before daybreak(黎明), carry water, make the fires, cook, and wash. besides(除了) this, the sisters did everything imaginable(可以想象) to hurt her. they made fun of her. in the evening when she had worked herself weary(厭倦), there was no bed for her. instead she had to sleep by the hearth in the ashes(灰). and because she always looked dusty(塵土飛揚) and dirty, they called her cinderella.
"there are cinders(煤渣) all over your clothes!" e_claimed(喊叫) the stepmother. " cinderella. that"s your new name. clear these things away, cinderella."
"cinderella! cinderella!" esmerelda and griselda said. "oh, how clever you are, mama!"
one day, an invitation(邀請) arrived from the palace.
"girls, listen to this," said the stepmother. cinderella was serving(準備) the breakfast. she listened as her stepmother read the invitation.
"the king is having a ball," she said e_citedly(興奮). "he is looking for a wife for the prince! oh, my dears, this is wonderful. he will probably choose one of you, but it will be such a hard choice to make.
"am i invited too, stepmother?" asked cinderella.
"you! certainly(當(dāng)然) not!" e_claimed(驚呼) her stepmother. "the thought of such a thing. a scruffy servant(破舊的仆人) going to a ball, when only beautiful ladies are invited!"
"hah! hah!" laughed the stepsisters. "beautiful! that doesn"t include you, cinderella!"
"you may help my two lovely girls to get ready," said her stepmother.
"oh," said cinderella
"we shall all have new dresses, girls, and we shall go shopping today. clear away these things, cinderella."
"oh, i wish i could go to the ball," thought(認為) cinderella.
the day of the ball arrived and the whole day was spent preparing esmerelda and griselda. cinderella did her best to make the sisters look pretty, but it was an impossible task.
finally, the coach arrived to collect the girls and their mother.
cinderella was very tired and she wandered back to the kitchens.
"oh, i did so want to go," she sighed(嘆氣) as she sat down by the fire.
"what"s to stop you?" asked a voice(聲音).
"who"s that?" asked cinderella, looking around.
"i"m here by the door." a strange woman walked up to cinderella. "i heard you the other day, wishing you could go to the ball. well, the ball is this evening, and you"re going."
"but how?" asked cinderella. "what can you do?"
"anything i want to," said the woman. "i"m your fairy(仙女) godmother, and i"m here to send you to the ball.
she sat down.
"come now," she said. "dry those tears(擦干眼淚). we have work to do. i need a large pumpkin(南瓜), two mice(老鼠) and a frog. can you find these?"
"yes," said cinderella, mystified(迷惑) by the request(請求).
"off you go, then."
when cinderella found all the things, her fairy godmother took them all outside.
"now for the magic," she said. she waved(揮舞) her hands and the air began to twinkle(閃爍) and sparkle(閃光). the pumpkin began to grow and change, until standing there was a coach.
the mice changed into two fine footmen(步兵), the frog into the driver, and the rats(老鼠) into two beautiful horses to pull the coach.
cinderella clapped(拍) her hands. "it"s beautiful!" she cried.
"in you get," said her fairy godmother.
"but i can"t go like this," said cinderella.
"like what?" asked the fairy godmother. "you look lovely to me."
cinderella looked at herself. while the magic had been working on the pumpkin, it had also been working on her. instead of her ragged(破爛) dress she wore a beautiful ball gown(晚禮服), with glass slippers(玻璃鞋) on her feet.
"oh, fairy godmother," said cinderella. "it"s lovely. how can i thank you?"
"by going to the ball," said the fairy godmother. "off you go, but remember, the magic stops working at midnight(午夜). everything will change back then. now go and enjoy yourself."
"good-bye, fairy godmother," called cinderella, as the coach swept off.
cinderella arrived at the palace(皇宮) and walked into the ballroom. everyone stopped and stared(看著).
"who is she?" people asked, including her stepmother and stepsisters.
the prince saw her, and had eyes for no one else for the rest of the evening. cinderella danced only with the prince(王子), and as the evening passed, he fell in love with her.
a clock chiming(報時) reminded cinderella of her fairy godmother"s warning(警告). "it must be eleven o"clock," she thought(告知), but she asked the prince. "what time is it?"
"almost midnight," he answered.
"oh, no!" cried cinderella. "i must go!"
"you can"t. not now," said the prince.
"i must." and cinderella swept out of the room, and ran out of the palace. as she ran, the clock finished chiming. cinderella"s clothes changed back into rags(破布), and the coach and horses were nowhere to be seen.
the prince tried to follow, but he couldn"t catch up. when he reached(走到) the door, all he found was one glass slipper. he ran to the main door.
"was a beautiful girl just driven(趕) out of here?" he asked the guard(士兵).
"no, your highness. i"ve only seen a scruffy servant(邋遢的仆人) girl," the guard answered.
"i"ve lost her," said the prince, and he returned sadly to the palace.
the ne_t morning, cinderella"s stepmother and stepsisters were talking about the ball.
the prince meanwhile(同時) decided to look for the mysterious(神秘) girl he had fallen in love with. he issued(發(fā)表) a proclamation(公告). "whoever the glass shoe fits(合適), shall be wife to the prince."
the prince and his footman(仆人) went from house to house of all the ladies invited to the ball.
he finally arrived at the stepmother"s house.
"it"s my shoe!" cried esmerelda, trying desperately(穿) to pull the shoe on.
"please, miss!" said the footman. "your foot is too big. you will break the slipper(玻璃鞋)."
griselda tried the shoe, but her toes were far too long.
"is there anyone else?" asked the prince.
"there"s only cinderella, the maid(女仆)," said the stepmother. "but she wasn"t even at the ball."
"all the ladies in the kingdom(王國) must try the slipper," said the footman.
cinderella was called from the kitchen. esmerelda and griselda laughed when they saw how dirty she was. but their laughter turned to tears when they saw cinderella"s foot slide easily into the slipper.
"oh!" they cried. "it fits!"
the prince looked at cinderella and realised that she was the girl that he had fallen in love with.
cinderella took the other slipper from her pocket(口袋) and put it on.
the prince was happy to have found her, and on a bright sunny day, he and cinderella were married. they lived happily ever after.
很久以前,在一個遙遠的地方,住著一個年輕漂亮的姑娘。
她很傷心。因為她的母親已經(jīng)去世,她的父親再次結(jié)婚。他的新妻子有兩個丑陋的女兒,esmerelda和griselda
不久之后,她的父親也死了,生活馬上(立即)為女孩改變。
"你將是我們的仆人(仆人),說:"她的繼母(繼母)。 "你會做的一切,我們說的。"
"你必須睡在廚房。"姐姐說。
在那里,她不得不從早晨到晚上做艱苦的工作,天亮前起床(黎明),提水,生火,做飯,洗。除了(除了)這一點,姐妹們做的一切都是想象(可以想象)傷害她。他們把她的樂趣。在黃昏時,她曾自己疲憊(厭倦),沒有床,等著她。相反,她不得不睡在骨灰由(灰)爐邊。而且因為她總是看著塵土飛揚(塵土飛揚)和臟了,他們叫她灰姑娘。
"有渣(煤渣)在你的衣服!"驚呼(喊叫)的繼母。 "灰姑娘。這就是你的新名稱。清除這些東西拿走,灰姑娘"。
"灰姑娘!灰姑娘!" esmerelda和griselda說。 "哦,你真聰明,媽媽!"
有一天,邀請(邀請)剛從皇宮。
"女孩,聽這個,說:"繼母。灰姑娘服務(wù)(準備)的早餐。她聽著她的繼母讀了邀請。
"國王是有一個球,"她興奮地說(興奮)。 "他的是一個王子的妻子看,噢,親愛的,這是美妙的。他可能會選擇一個你,但會這樣艱難的抉擇。
"我邀請過,繼母?"問灰姑娘。
"你!當(dāng)然(當(dāng)然)不!"驚呼(驚呼)她的繼母。 "本以為這樣的事情。一個破舊的仆人(破舊的仆人)去一個球,當(dāng)時只有漂亮的小姐是請!"

"你可以幫助我的兩個可愛的女孩準備好,"她的繼母。
"哦,"灰姑娘
"我們都應(yīng)有新衣服,女孩,我們將今天去購物。清除這些東西,灰姑娘"。
"噢,我希望我能去參加舞會,"思想(認為)灰姑娘。
球的一天到了,花了一整天的準備esmerelda和griselda?;夜媚镆彩顾淖詈玫慕忝煤每?,但它是一個不可能完成的任務(wù)。

"我的門了。"一個陌生的女人走到灰姑娘。 "我聽說你有一天,希望你能去參加舞會。好了,今天晚上的球,而你去。"
"怎么會呢?"問灰姑娘。 "你可以做什么?"
"只要我想,"那個女人說。 "我是你的童話(仙女)教母,我是來送你到球。
她坐了下來。
"來吧,"她說。 "擦干眼淚(擦干眼淚)。我們有工作要做。我需要一個大南瓜(南瓜),兩只老鼠(老鼠)和一只青蛙。你能找到這些?"
"是的,"灰姑娘,迷惑的請求(請求)(迷惑)。
"關(guān)你去,然后。"
當(dāng)灰姑娘發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的事情,她的仙女教母,把他們?nèi)客饷妗?/p>
"現(xiàn)在的魔力,"她說。她揮手(揮舞)她的手和空氣開始閃爍(閃爍)和閃光(閃光)。南瓜開始成長和改變,直到站在那里是一個教練。

灰姑娘拍手(拍)她的手。 "它真美!"她哭了。
"在你得到的,"她的仙女教母。
"但我不能再這樣下去,說:"灰姑娘。
"像什么?"問仙女教母。 "你看上去可愛極了我。"
灰姑娘看著自己。雖然魔術(shù)已經(jīng)就南瓜工作,它也一直在研究她。而不是她的衣衫襤褸(破爛)裙子,她穿了漂亮的球禮服(晚禮服),與她的腳玻璃拖鞋(玻璃鞋)。
"哦,仙女教母,說:"灰姑娘。 "這是可愛。我該如何感謝你??呢?"

a scene to remember
gu qiubei
shanghai international studies university
advisor: gong longsheng
good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
today i would like to begin with a story.
there was once a physical therapist(臨床醫(yī)學(xué)家) who traveled all the way from america to africa to do a census(調(diào)查) about mountain gorillas(大猩猩). these gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching(偷獵) and being put into the zoo. she went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. she witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we"ve ever been, where in the very depth of the african rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled(擁抱) their babies.
yes, that"s a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs. dian fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in rwanda to protect the eco-environment there until the very end of her life.
to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless(永恒的) 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 occur---natural scenes aren"t natural anymore. deforestation to heat lodges is devastating nepal. oil spills from tourist boats are polluting antarctica. tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to u2 on walkman and wear nike and reeboks.
all these appalling(令人震驚的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding(侵蝕) our resources. encouragingly, the e_plosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the united nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world"s attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our eco-environment.
now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and invalids(殘疾人), some of them can not afford to send the money but they do. these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. why? because they care, because they still want their mother nature back. because they know it still belongs to them.
this kind of feeling that i have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it"s all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.
the other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. i found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been e_cept the deer.
and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it"s lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.
once again, i have come to think of mrs. dian fossey be- cause it"s with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our eco-environment that we are taking our ne_t step into the world.
and no matter who we are what we do and where we go, in our mind, there"s always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it. thank you very much.
第九屆21世紀英語演講比賽冠軍演講稿
the doors that are open to us
good morning ladies and gentlemen:
the title of my speech today is "the doors that are open to us ".
the other day my aunt paid me a visit. she was overjoyed. "i got the highest mark in the mid-term e_amination!" she said. don"t be surprised! my aunt is indeed a student; to be e_act, a college student at the age of 45.
last year, she put aside her private business and signed up for a one-year, full-time management course in a college. "this was the wisest decision i have ever made," she said proudly like a teenage girl. to her, college is always a right place to pick up new ideas, and new ideas always make her feel young.

to me march 28th was a lucky day. it was on that particular evening that i found myself at central stage, in the spotlight. winning the "21st century·ericsson cup" seventh national english speaking competition is a memory that i shall treasure and one that will surely stay.
more important than winning the cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage. also the competition helps boost public speaking in china, a skill hitherto undervalued.
for me, though, the competition is a more personal e_perience. habitually shy, i had been reluctant to take part in any such activities. encouraged by my friends, however, i made a last-minute decision to give it a try. in the course of preparation i somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.
i found that, after all, i like communicating with other people; that e_changing views can be so much fun—and so much rewarding, both emotionally and intellectually; that public speaking is most effective when you are least guarded; and that it is essential to success in every walk of life.
at a more practical level, i realized knowing what you are going to say and how you are going to say it are equally important. to take the original ideas out of your head and transplant them, so to speak, to that of others, you need to have an organized mind. this ability improves with training.
yet there should not be any loss or addition or distortion in the process. those ideas that finally find their waysintosanother head need to be recognizably yours. language is a means to transmit information, not a means to obstruct communication. it should be lucid to be penetrating.
in china, certain public speaking skills have been unduly emphasized. will it really help, we are compelled to ask, to bang at the podium or yell at the top of your lungs, if you have come with a poorly organized speech, a muddled mind, and unwillingness to truly share your views?
above all, the single most important thing i learnt was that as a public speaker, you need to pay attention, first and foremost, to the content of your speech. and second, the structure of your speech: how one idea relates and progresses to another.
only after these come delivery and non-verbal communication: speed control, platform manner, and so on. pronunciation is important, yet of greater importance is this: is your language competent enough to e_press your ideas e_actly the way you intend them to be understood?
i was informed afterwards that i was chosen to be the winner for my "appropriately worded speech, e_cellent presence and quick-witted response". in so remarking, the judges clearly showed their preference: they come to listen for meaningful ideas, not for loose judgments, nor easy laughters.
some contestants failed to address their questions head on. some were able to, but did not knowswheresto stop—the dragging on betrayed their lack of confidence. the root cause was that they did not listen attentively to the questions. or they were thinking of what they had prepared.
as i said in my speech, "it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking ... to take them [issues like globalization] on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way". we need to respond honestly.
a competition like this draws talented students from all over the country. and of course, i learnt more things than just about public speaking. since in the final analysis, public speaking is all about effective communication. and this goes true for all communications, whatever their setting.
and the following is the final version of my speech:
globalization:
opportunities and challenges
for china"s younger generation
thirty years ago, american president richard ni_on made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at that time. premier zhou enlai said to him, "your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world—twenty-five years of no communication". thirty years since, china and america have e_changed many handshakes. the fundamental implication of this e_ample is that the need to communicate across differences in culture and ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as well.
as we can see today, environmentalists from different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a particular region but nonetheless cripple the world economy, and politicians and diplomats are getting together to discuss the issue of combating terrorism. peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving for all over the world. underlying this mighty trend of global communication is the echo of e. m. forster"s words "only connect!"
with the it revolution, traditional boundaries of human society fall away. our culture, politics, society and commerce are being sloshedsintosone 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 integratingsintosthe world. our recent entry to the wto is a good e_ample. for decades, we have taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of participating in and contributing to a broader economic order. from a precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have come a long way.
but what does the way ahead look like? in some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization. are they justified, then, in criticizing the globalizing world? instead of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables the developed nations to swallow the developing nations" wealth in debts and interest. globalization, they argue, should be about a common interest in every other nation"s economic health.
we are reminded by karl mar_ 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 favourable policy. they are often powerful lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless e_pansionists in the global market and a devastating presence to local businesses.
for china, still more challenges e_ist. how are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? how to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? how to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? and how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? globalization entails questions that concern us all.
like many young people my age in china, i want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community. but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. it is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues. there might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way. this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.

good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
when the topic "people and nature" first caught my eye, i was reminded
of a story about myself and my violin.
i began learning to play the violin when i was eight years old. at
first, it was a very hard thing for me. after my continued efforts, i was
able to play a lot of musical pieces very soon. i felt so proud of myself that i began to behave arrogantly.
my violin teacher noticed this and told me: "to be a good violin player,
you should first of all love and respect your violin. you should obey the
rules of playing it so as to make harmonious melodies. remember, play the
violin not only with your hands, but also with your heart and soul. "
ladies and gentlemen, i believe that nature is to people what my violin

晚上的演講比賽是在外國語學(xué)院舉行的,比賽前還是小有壓力的,我一經(jīng)濟貿(mào)易學(xué)院的到外國語學(xué)院拼英語肯定是典型的魯班門前弄大斧?。∪サ牟凰阍?,所以都排到第35個上場了。開始之前,我還是不放心到外面又把稿子復(fù)習(xí)了幾遍。真是不可思議,居然我前面的34位選手清一色的女生。主持人在第34號選手演講前報了我的名字讓我準備的時候,我已經(jīng)看到很多人回頭看我的,真的沒想到在外院還被人知道,特別那么多都是新生。我知道肯定是又要被關(guān)注了,心里暗想著一定要發(fā)揮好啊,還是蠻緊張的,前面有些選手水平真的是很不錯,但是上臺后的那一剎那,一句ladies and gentlemen,good evening后,就聽見大家熱烈的掌聲,很遠的看見一個男生對我豎起了大拇指,自己感覺了一下,話筒音還挺好的,信心就迅速飆升了,一口氣說到到最后。最后一句居然出現(xiàn)了小小失誤,說錯了一個詞,還好,及時又改正過來了,不過重復(fù)了兩遍,多少有些遺憾吧!分數(shù)出來了,8.83分,比最好的一位選手8.38分還高許多,很開心,復(fù)賽是沒問題了。沒有堅持把比賽看完就和我的親友團先走了,很感謝他們大家都很忙還來為我加油!yuer,廣為,小躍謝謝你們,我一定努力到時給你們拿個好名次回來?;貋砼笥呀o我發(fā)短信跟我說,最后今晚這場初賽就我一男生,分數(shù)也最高。呵呵,知足了,接著準備好這周四的復(fù)賽,明天還有場初賽,誰知道會遇到什么樣的高手呢。要繼續(xù)瘋狂操練?。?/p>
這是我上大學(xué)正式參加的第二次比賽,第一次是大一的時候代表社里參加了北大學(xué)城三所高校的模擬人才招聘會大賽,沒想到我一大一的fresh man過關(guān)斬將把那些大二大三的都給拼掉了。最后還拿了個第一。那時也是激情滿懷??!一轉(zhuǎn)眼都是大三的大哥大人物了,比方今天上去都覺得像是在欺負人家,呵呵,畢竟是比賽,我的英語也是在提高的階段,所以我最主要的是檢驗一下自己這一段學(xué)習(xí)效果。這也是我第一次參加英語比賽,希望看看和那些高手的差距。快離開校園了,也想在感受一下學(xué)校的活動,說實話真舍不得離開??!今天有幾位選手的發(fā)音聽起來真的很不錯,可能我也是因為是今天唯一的男生僥幸拿了個高分。革命尚未成功,同志仍需努力??!我要繼續(xù)好好準備了。。。。。。。。。

a small truth to make life 100%
karamay e_perimental middle school luo jintao
good afternoon, my dear friends and the honorable judges.
i’m very glad to be here and give you my speech. i hope we all can enjoy the time. now, today my topic is: "a small truth to make life 100%".
as a young english teacher, i have to face different kinds of students and deal with trivial things every day. life goes on, but sometimes it’s becoming frustrating and i feel very tired. how to make my life become better? i’m always seeking for the answer. fortunately, when i read a magazine one day, i found the truth to make my life 100%. today i would like to share it with you.
now, my dear friends, let’s do an interesting test together and then you will find the secret by yourself! as we all know, there are 26 alphabets in english, a to z. against them we have the numbers 1% to 26%. if a is equal to 1%, and b to 2%, and so on, until z is equal to 26%, then can you guess what can make our life 100%? that is to say, what can make our life perfect?
some of you may suggest "money". however, after calculating, you’ll find it only comes to 72%. now try a few more. knowledge? yes, knowledge is power! but this time it only comes to 96%. how about love? that only shows at 54%. luck does even worse, only at 47%. though most of us think this is the most important.
then what makes 100%? hard work? closer, 98%. but not e_act. now, what on earth can make life 100%? well, every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our attitude. yes! only attitude comes out at 100%.
many of the gifts we have been given have been distributed unfairly. we all wish we had the ability of the talented, the money of the rich, and the luck of the beautiful. but none of these matter. there is only one thing we all have equally and can always control even in the worst situations. and that is our attitude.
life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. therefore, attitude is the thing that shapes who you are the most.
attitude is everything. now, my dear friends, please give the world a sunshine smile. change your attitude and enjoy every minute in your life.
that’s all. thank you!

there is only one failure called never try
what is success? different people have different ideas.you may say success is the realization of one"s hopesand justified goals.under such notion,however,people have different understanding of success because the hopes and goals they cherish vary from one another.
there may ba so mangy kinds of success in the world that i can"t enumerate them all.so maybe it"s difficult to set a defination for success.but ,in my opinion,it"s easy to define what is failure---there is only one failure called never try.
everyone has his dreams but not all of them dare to make it come true.just like a huter aimed at his game but never fire or a soldier who crying out but never toward.they are afraid of failure that they might encounter.
that reminds me of a game we used to play.we put the chairs in a circle.and the player must pass through th barriers made by the chairs with his eyes covered up.he would be allowed to memorize the positions of the chairs.but as soon as his eyes is covered,we will remove all the chairs.
sometimes,our life is just like such kind of game.we tried our best not to bump against the barriers.but these things turn out to be e_isting only in our minds.and sometimes,we made them for ourselves.we dare not to participate a competition or get cold feet to call the boy or girl we love.it turns out that the barriers we made for ourselves lead to the loss of a lot of things.
don"t give up trying untill you really bump against the chairs.even so,at least you have a place to sit on.
some people would say i tried but i failed to pass an e_am or to find a job.i"am a failure .but on the contrary,i prefer to call these things setbacks instead of failures.there is no failure in a winner "s dictionary.
it doesn"t matter i you have a tumble , what really matters is that you lose the courage to stand up and give it another try.the process is full of tears and pains.
just look back on how we learn to walk when we are young.if we gave up easily,today we may only crawl .if tomas edison gave up easily in finding a proper material to make a bulb,maybe we will live in the darkness after the sunset.perhaps we need some torches to go on with our competition.
i,myself,a shy person by nature who easily suffers from stage fright,had to get up my courage to take part in this speech contest like this.i could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not coming here.but i chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. now here i am.i will try my best because i know i would broaden my horizon and make a lot of friends here.
i still remember the first time i sang a song at a party ,the first time talking to a foreign friends,the first time made a speech on the platform,etc.although at first they almost scared me to death,but when it was over,i feel it"s worthing trying.there is a saying goes,"people often regret what they didn"t do instead of what they have done."
forrest gump often says,"life is like a bo_ of chacolate ,you never know what you are gonna get." i would say if the chacolate you got is not your favourite.don"t get upset but try the ne_t.

i am fourteen years old and i have learnt english for si_ years now i’ve loved english since the first time,? i’ve heard it from a tape. the voice from the tape was very wonderful and the language was so nice .that time i thought,how wonderful the language is!? and if i can speak english as well as the speaker in the tape,that will be amazing! so i asked my mum:"can i learn english? i really love it!" "of course you can,but are you sure about it? can you insist on it?" she was a bit e_cited. "of course i can,mum. i love it very much,i want to learn it. "i said confidently,"oh,my good kid,you are very good,i am so e_cited about you are interested in english. "she gave me a sweet hug. we laughed together. then,i’ve started my english learning way.
at the beginning,i loved english because it sounds comfortable ,but i can’t believe that how difficult to learn english grammar. then i felt tired, and i really want to give it up. buton that main time,my english teacher found me was a bit strange,"what wrong with you,virita?you look a bit strange." "nothing, i just think english grammar is so difficult. it is boring,i don’t want to learn it anymore!"? "why?you can’t give it up,virita. i can help you just trust me.""really?" "of course!" then she helped me with my english grammar after class everyday. she told me how to find a good way for my own to learn english grammar. how to find a good way to remember the english new words. she told me try to love english!? interests is the best teacher! so my english marks improve very fast. and in the finally e_am,i got the best marks at school. i was so happy .but my english teacher warned me again "don’t be proud of it. hasty climbers have the sudden falls. you should come on!"
i also like watching holly wood movies, for e_ample, the green man in the avengers is very strong and v in v of vendetta is very cool. most of actors and actresses speak english in the film, and i really want to understand the whole meaning about a film without any caption one day. itis difficult for me to make it come true. i should work harder.
english is a very beautiful language .and itis my friend,a real friend. although i can’t feel it with my hands, but i can feel it with my heart. english brought me a lot and i have a big dream about english. to make it come true ,i should work harder and learn more western culture. we’ll love each other more and more.

crossing the sea
by liang limin(梁勵敏 北京外國語大學(xué))
(獲得第三屆全國英語演講比賽冠軍)
專家點評:引用文學(xué)大師的詩句作為開場白,與結(jié)束語首尾呼應(yīng),頗有感染力。東西方文化的融合表現(xiàn)得十分鮮明
,意味深長,是篇優(yōu)秀的演講。
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 e_ample; 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 e_pressions 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 e_pression 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 e_ample: 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 e_ample: 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 e_changes 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.
譯文:穿越海洋
女士們、先生們,晚上好。今天,我演講的題目是:《穿越海洋》。
英國詩人羅得雅德·吉卜林曾寫過一首詩,名叫《我們與他們》,其中寫道:
像我們的人是我們
其余的人是他們
我們生活在海這邊
他們生活在路那邊
我們用牛角柄的刀叉吃豬牛肉
吞吃粽葉包飯的他們
嚇得要死。
第一次讀到這首詩,我很震驚——過去兩個民族何以如此疏離、彼此陌生?當(dāng)然今日的社會呈現(xiàn)出完全不同的情景
:那些過去吃米飯的人們也開始喜歡吃魚和薯條。
的確如此,就拿中國來說,西方的生活方式已經(jīng)廣泛地影響了我們的現(xiàn)代生活,以致對于年輕人對搖滾樂著
迷,全家去吃麥當(dāng)勞,老年人穿蘋果牌牛仔褲,大家都已習(xí)以為常。
然而,這不過是我們當(dāng)今社會中所發(fā)生的文化變遷的表面現(xiàn)象而已,真正發(fā)生的卻是我們的民族心理開始了微妙
而又有重大意義的重建,大家只要看看周圍就會清楚。
不久以前,大學(xué)生還只是束手空坐,等待政府給他們分配工作;如今,又有多少大學(xué)生正在做充分準備,為爭取任
何工作機會而激烈角逐?
20年前年輕人還完全依靠父母為他們安排未來,今天又有多少年輕人在急切地尋求一種獨立的生活?試問今天參加
演講比賽的諸位,誰不是帶著志在一搏的心情來到這里?誰不是鐵下心來贏得這場比賽以實現(xiàn)自我?如今年輕人毫無顧
忌地宣泄情感當(dāng)眾親吻,我確信,倘若孔子在世,他必被嚇壞。
很明顯,我們這些東方古老文明的后裔們早已生活在西方文化的強烈影響之下,然而出現(xiàn)這種異質(zhì)文化合流的
現(xiàn)象不止是在中國。
以美國為例,20世紀80年代,面對來自日本的強大競爭壓力,許多美國公司如福特公司開始采用對手的集體合作
管理方式,而這種方式正是東方文化核心之精華。
再以中華針灸為例,這種傳統(tǒng)的醫(yī)療方法以及這種療法的依據(jù)——即人體陰陽失調(diào)導(dǎo)致疾病最終得到西方社會的
承認,而在過去,西方人還認為這是無稽之談。
女士們,先生們,我們恰逢一個偉大的時代:全球經(jīng)濟一體化、信息革命使得世界各種文化聯(lián)系比以往更加緊密;
我們恰逢一個特殊的年代:無論是東方國家還是西方國家都意識到自身急需調(diào)整傳統(tǒng)價值。與此同時,我們正生活在發(fā)
展的關(guān)鍵時刻:種族沖突,地區(qū)動蕩正越來越威脅著整個人類的和平與幸福。如何對待這一時代,擁抱更加燦爛的未來
,我們需要學(xué)會在越來越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。
親愛的同學(xué)們,我們掌握英語,得以了解西方文化,與此同時,又不失本民族的文化特征。
因此,促進中國與世界的文化交流與相互理解是我們神圣的責(zé)任。
我有一個美好的夢想,我夢想中國的年輕一代不僅僅在喝可口可樂、看好萊塢影片中成長,而且還受益于我們的
父輩所從未夢想過的多元文化所帶來的深遠影響。
最后,再次以羅得雅德·吉卜林的詩作為我此次演講的結(jié)尾:
像我們的人是我們
其余的人是他們
然而一旦你們穿洋越海
就不會再把我們
看做僅僅是他們。
謝謝。
