課前英語演講(通用28篇)

Dream is powerful, it is the life source of forward momentum; Lofty dreams can inspire a life all puse of this we will go to dream, to grasp the dream, the pursuit of dreams.

Our new president Xi Jinping came up with the dream of the Chinese nation's rejuvenation on December 29, said: the Chinese dream is a dream of national strength prosperity and people's happiness.

Our people have an ardent love for life. They wish to have better education, more stable jobs, more income, greater social security , better medical and health care, improved housing conditions and better environment, They want their children to grow well, have ideal jobs and lead a more enjoyable life. To meet their desire for a happy life is our mission."

I always ask myself what can I do for our great Chinese dream ? As we all know that the wiser the youths are ,the wiser the nation will be;the wealthier the youths are ,the wealthier the nation will be;the stronger the youths are ,the stronger the nation will be. Here the word wealthy means: enriching our knowledge a new generation of youth , every one here shouldering the great historical mission of making china powerful and strong.

You may say that this may exaggerate our role, but I want to say you are wrong. If I am a little screw our great dream may be a multifunction and complex machine. Through this example I just want to say I am very tiny but I am indispensable .

I believe that as long as all of our young people unite together and perform our own functions that study hard in school and work hard after we graduating from university . We must be able to achieve our great dream meanwhile enrich ourselves unwittingly!

My dream, our dream, to improve the Chinese dream. Let us unite together to realize Chinese nation's great rejuvenation to struggle!To you the day of my dreams to realize, is standing at the time of China.

課前英語演講 篇2

The world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. For example forest destruction results in decrease of planting land and unpleasant weather. In addition man is faced with problems of water pollution and air pollution.

A lot of measures have been taken. Planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment. Besides laws concerning environmental protection have been put into effect and achieved good results.

However the problem of environmental protection remains far from being solved. On the one hand the environment pollution and destruction are getting worse and worse in the modern world. On the other hand the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem. In a word there is a long way to go before we enjoy a clean and comfortable world.

課前英語演講 篇3

Why do you spend your time in sadness? Know that you are the source of all happiness.

Why do you spend your days in fear? Know that your mere sight can make difficulties disappear. Why do you cry and ask for help?

Know that you are the best man for your own help. Why do you feel so weak and helpless? Know that you are, in all sides, matchless. Why do you feel so depressed?

Know that you are the blessed. Why do you feel so stressed? Know that you can have anything at your orders. Why don’t you act on opportunities? Know that you can go through all disasters. Why don’t you live life to the full? Know that there is no point in being dull. Why do you doubt your talent and skill? Know that you can achieve anything with your incredible will. Why do you spend life feeling so miserable4?Know that no matter what, your soul is indestructible.

你爲什麼把時間花在傷心上?要知道你是所有快樂的源泉。

你爲什麼把時間花在恐懼上?要知道你的一個眼神就能讓困難消失無蹤。你爲什麼要哭泣着尋求幫助?

要知道最能夠幫助你的人就是你自己。你爲什麼如此虛弱無助?要知道你在各方面都是無可匹敵的。你爲什麼感到絕望?

要知道你是受上天眷顧的。你爲什麼感到有壓力?要知道任何東西只要你想要就一定能得到。你爲什麼不抓住機會呢?要知道你可以戰勝一切災難。你爲什麼不讓生活充實起來呢?要知道單調乏味的生活毫無意義。你爲什麼懷疑自己的天賦和才能呢?要知道你過人的意志力能讓你實現所有願望。你爲什麼讓自己的生活如此悲慘呢?要知道不論怎樣,你的靈魂都是無堅不摧的。

課前英語演講 篇4

good evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.

it’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world, change ourselves.

it’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.

frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with ed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions.

(examples) why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture.

there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend,chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.

with the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture.

課前英語演講 篇5

my hometown is lhasa, the largest city on the roof of the world. it is the heart and soul of tibet. i think lhasa is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. it is surrounded by towering mountains and rarely a day goes by when you don' t see the deep blue sky. lhasa river is flowing quietly around the city.

lhasa is the mixture of tradition and fashion.

firstly, lhasa has a long history. it is the political, cultural and economic center of tibet. it has lots of famous sights to offer. the potala palace is the most famous, a magnificent and wonderful place to look at. in my opinion it is a unique artistic achievement of the tibetan people. likewise, the architecture, carvings and paintings throughout the city show hard work, wisdom and bravery of our people.

secondly, led by the reforming and opening policy of china, lhasa has changed a lot. many new things have arrived up here, changing the face of the city. the old and new lie side by side in lhasa.

many new buildings, schools and roads have been built here. furthermore, the qing-zang railway leading to lhasa is being built. many shopping centers have been opened, and modern technology like telecommunications is spreading. the whole city looks prosperous, and our tibetan people take on a new look. every festival, people walk around freely on the new, wide and smooth streets, wearing the beautiful traditional costumes.

right now, i am looking forward to a festival called shodün which comes in june for eating yoghurt. at this time, all my family and i gather for a picnic together at the norbulinka, a famous garden. in the garden, we sing tibetan songs, dance “guo zhuang” on the grass; eat zanba, drink butter tea and barley beer on the beautiful carpet as well. we enjoy our life. i think that this festival exhibits the open-minded and optimistic character of the tibetan people.

finally, “i love my hometown. i love the people in my hometown.”.

thank you.

tashidele.

我的家鄉

我的家鄉是拉薩,它位於世界屋脊。我認爲拉薩是世界上最美麗的城市之一,它的周圍是高聳入雲的山脈,幾乎你天天都能看到湛藍的天空,拉薩河圍繞着這座城市緩緩地流淌着。

拉薩是一個傳統和時尚的結合體。

首先,拉薩有悠久的歷史,燦爛的文化。拉薩是西藏的政治、文化、經濟中心,並且有許多聞名遐邇的名勝古蹟,布達拉宮雄偉壯觀,金碧輝煌,是一個值得一看的地方,我認爲它是西藏人民獨特藝術成就,而且拉薩市的建築、雕刻和繪畫是西藏人民勤勞、勇敢和智慧的結晶。

其次,自改革開放以來,拉薩發生了很大變化,許多新事物層出不窮,改變了拉薩的面貌,古老與現代並存。

多種風格的建築拔地而起,現代化的學校被建起,寬暢的公路被修建,通向拉薩的青藏鐵路正在施工,現代高科技在拉薩延伸,整個城市呈現一派繁榮景象,拉薩人民呈現新的面貌,每逢節日,他們穿着節日盛裝,自在地走在大街上。

現在我正期待着雪頓節的到來,這個節日在六月初,是一個吃酸奶的節日,當這個節日到來的時候,我和我的家人、朋友聚在一起在有名的公園-“羅布林卡” 裏面野餐。我們在草地上一起唱藏歌,跳鍋莊舞;踏着美麗的藏式地毯吃糌粑、喝酥油茶和青稞酒,享受我們幸福的生活,我認爲這個節日展示了西藏人民開朗、樂觀的性格。

最後,我想說“我愛我的家鄉,我更愛我家鄉的人民。”

謝謝!

扎西德勒!

Surrounding you are angels, they are there to guide your path. If weakness overcomes you, they’ll give you strength if you will ask. They are your protection when life seems too hard to bear, and though you feel alone at times, the angels, they are there…

Their faces may be hidden, and their voices you might not hear, but they are always with you through your laughter or your tears.

They’ll walk along beside you, they’ll guide your steps along the way, they’ll comfort you and hold you, protect you night and day. They’ll hold to your hand tightly, and will not ever let it go, and they’ll gently lead you forward, taking each step very slow.

When life is overwhelming, and your spirit has grown tired, know that they’ll be there for you to uplift and to inspire. And when you’re torn and lonely, and you see no hope ahead, know that they will nourish you, and your spirit will be fed.

For even in the darkest hour, when all of hope seems gone, they’ll give you strength to live your life, and desire to go on. And if your faith in Heaven should ever fade away, they’ll help renew your spirit, and help you find your way.

Angles are always there; and upon their strength and guidance, you always may rely.

天使一直就在我們身邊;有了天使賜予我們的力量和指引,你可以勇往直前。

自信心的重要性

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.

課前英語演講 篇8

in my 18 years of life, there have been many things. university days are the best part of them. i can never forget the days when i stepped into my university. i was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere. i at once fell in love with it.

after the arduous military training, i get absolutely absorbed in my studies. the classes given by the teachers are excellent. they provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well. they easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as i can.

frankly speaking, at first i had some difficulty following the teachers. however, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers' guidance, i made remarkable progress. now i've benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports.

learning is a long process; i'll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself. this summer i got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world. a publishing house offered me a part-time job in compilation and revision.

at the beginning i was belittled by my colleagues. but they were really surprised when i translated seven english articles over 5,000 words on only one day. gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes. in their opinion i turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.

i also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy. so i often take part in activities concerning public welfare. i once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates. we taught the kids there who could not afford school. while showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, i was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their purity. i couldn't control my tears on the day when we left. the precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.

bessides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well. i do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic. we also write a play and put it on in our spare time.

campus life is the most splendid time. but different people have different choices. the majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they'll become outstanding. but there are indeed some students still under ignorance. they gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards. they're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend. they forget completely about their mission as college students and the hope of their motherland.

finally, i do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country. i do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society!

課前英語演講 篇9

Good morning everyone ,befor our class,I’m going to share something about basketball ,something about NBA.

As one of millions NBA fans ,I’ve been watching NBA games for about six

years ,for ,as you know ,the NBA court is really an amazing place where miracles happen cially when there is a buzzer beater taking place at the end of zhe game ,it’s absolutely the most excting point in the game. Do you

know how popular the NBA is in China? Look at these pictures , celebrities from different fields are watching the game in the stadium. And this picture reflects how popular it is among college students.

No one may have never heared something about Kobe ,lenbron James ,jaordan, but I believe not everyone know the origin of basketball.

s Naismith, a Canadian who was teaching at Springfield College in Massachusetts needed to come up with a game to entertain the school’s rugby and football players during the winter months.

So he grabbed a peach basket he found in the janitor’s closet of the school and hung it on a railing about ten feet from the floor.

Every time the players made a shot though, they had to take down the basket and grab the ball, which became really annoying. mith decided to cut a hole in the basket so the ball would go straight through without having to dig it out all the time

The sport was an instant success and the popularity of this new game quickly grew. Althoough Nasimith never saw the game develop into the spectacular game we know these days, he had the honor to witness basketball become an Olympic sport at the 1936 Games held in Berlin.

A group of team owners met on June 6, 1946, in New York to talk about a league they would name the Basketball Association of America. This meeting was the beginning of what we know today as the NBA.

NBA’s full name is National Basketball Association

And today there are 30 teams in the association in recent days the regular season has the games are very excting you have any interst , you could watch them in the morning everyday.

課前英語演講 篇11

Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching ever higher, building one achievement on top of another, and creating real, meaningful value in each moment.

A common stone on the ground does a great job of just getting by. You, on the other hand, are destined1 for much more spectacular things. Yes, indeed, you will certainly meet a number of challenges when you make the effort to raise your world even a little bit higher. The good thing is, you are superbly equipped to thrive on those challenges.

If life seems unsuccessful, it’s not because of the challenges or limitations that stand in your way. It’s because you refuse to see the exceptional opportunities that those challenges represent.

This is your precious and unique life, and it is absolutely worth all the trouble and effort you must go through to make it great. Within you at this moment are beautiful dreams, and you can begin to live in the direction of those dreams whenever you choose.

Let go of the false security of just getting by, and get yourself into focus on a purpose that will bring your life gloriously to life. Your very own pathway to success is just one quick step away.

生活並不是過得去就行,而是需要我們每時每刻都有所超越,不斷取得成就,並且創造真正的、有意義的價值。

地上的一塊普通的石子只是躺在那裏就做得很好了。然而,你註定是要做大事的。是的,當你努力提升自己時,你的確會遇到許多困難,哪怕只是提升一點點。幸運的是,你有能力戰勝那些挑戰。

如果生活看起來並不是一帆風順的,那並不是因爲你前方的道路上有挑戰或阻礙,而是因爲你沒有看到那些挑戰中蘊藏的良機。

這是你所珍愛的、獨一無二的生活。爲了讓它變得更美好,經歷困難、付出努力都是值得的。此刻,你的內心充滿着美好的夢想,只要你選擇,你就可以朝着夢想的方向生活。

摒棄生活只要過得去就行這樣的錯誤觀點,全心投入一個目標——讓你的生活更加精彩。成功之路離你僅一步之遙。

課前英語演講 篇15

Good morning,everyone, I'm so glad to be here and make a presentation. Before my presentation, i’d like to ask you some you know Li na,the famous tennis athlete in China? How much do you know about her?

I am sure that many students who have watched the Australian Tennis Championship on CCTV 5 during winter break. So today, i would like to talk about my thoughts of this game.

On January 24, Li na won over Sharapova in the women' s singles final. This is the third time that Li na has gone into the grand slam finals. Once again, On January 26, Li na went against a new opponent name Azarenka. On that day of the game, Li na was in the leadin the first inning, but during the second inning, she accidently fell down twice. People were shocked and sad about how she could not continue the game. But because of the people being worried, she doggedly continue the game, making the audience cheer and applauding her for her effort to continue her game. A t that time ,audience applauded foe her ough she lost the game, her hard effort and insistency moved us and motivated us.

And this case also appreaded in tthe men singles final the next day. Two opponents named Murray and Djokovic were against each other. Due to the game, Murray's foot had blisters that affected the way he played. The doctor had to treat his wound with medicine. As human beings, if we had blisters on our foot, we may feel a lot of pain and don't want to walk. However, as an athlete, Murray had to withstand the pain and strive for the victory.

As far as I’m concerned, for professional athletes, games have become a part of their life. They fight inthe match, fight for their dream,and enjoy thir games

As students, studying is a part of our life.I know we may be confronted with many different kinds of problems,have you ever wangted to give it up? On the one hand, when i faced with difficulties,i felt sad and didn’t want to continue,on the other hand ,i would tell myself that:He who can sndure the greatest hardships will be the greatest among to my way of thinking, on the road of studying, we need to learn how to keep ourself motivated and continue studying and learn how to make studying a better way to enjoy rather then boring ourself out.

Dear teacher and classmates:

I am very glad to make a speech here in this class again! This time, I'd like to talk something about English.

I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.

When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.

Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.

On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.

I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.

I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. I'll introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.

I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.

If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.

Everything lives with opposite forces. The same can be said about modern technology, such as Internet. We also have enough evidence indicating that the Internet can be a harmful influence on people. A great many people admit that they are too much addicted to internet too maintain a regular and health lifestyle . Some children addicted in playing the games on the internet without study of the people using the internet to do some illegal things which loses people's properties and hurt someone's feelings.

Thus ,it is necessary for us to use internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence r all. internet is invented to enrich our life ,and to improve the effiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain . I am afraid that the clock is against us, so we had better stop here have been a very attentive audience---thank you.

It is not easy to think positive thoughts when the world around you appears to be so negative. In fact, it can be as difficult as anything you’ve ever done. However, it is absolutely possible to fill your mind with positive thoughts no matter what the environment is. Doing so makes you powerful like nothing else can.

To think positively is to alignyourselfwith1 the truth that you’re immersed2 in limitless, growing abundance. To think positively is to pleasantly accept that your life is full of meaningful and unique achievements.

Instead of placing a judgement on your situation, apply your most positive purposes to that situation. Instead of seeing the world as negative, see yourself as a powerful agent of the positive possibilities.

If you find yourself giving in to negativity, you are selling yourself short. The moment you feel the slightest pain of a negative thought, stop and remind yourself how powerful you are. Do the intentional work of keeping your thoughts positive. Because whatever you always think is where your life will surely and steadily go.

當你周圍的人或物都看似消極時,讓你持有樂觀思想並非是件容易的事。實際上,這和你做過的任何一件事一樣難。然而,無論身處怎樣的環境,用樂觀的思想填充你的大腦是完全可能的。這樣做會使你變得無比強大。

樂觀地思考就是在證明一個事實——你的生活正處於日益豐盈的狀態。樂觀地思考也是在欣然接受一個事實——你的生活充滿着意義深遠、與衆不同的成就。

不要只顧着對你所處的形勢作出評價,要把你的積極目標付諸於實際。不要只看到世界的消極一面,要看到自己能夠創造積極可能性的強大力量。

如果你發現自己正向消極屈服,那麼你就是在輕視自己。在你感受到消極思想所帶來的一絲疼痛的那一刻,停下來吧,提醒自己你是多麼強大。做一些有利於塑造積極思想的事情,因爲你的思想正引領着你生活穩步前行的方向。

Good afternoon ,ladies and gentlemen!

I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with ,I want to ask a question everybody dream a good dream last night? Actually ,today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.

Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. With the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer the dream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.

I have a dream: To be a doctor.,because doctor may relieve the pain of patients. May let the human change the health. At the same time, I believed that, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. Therefore, I hoped in the near future ,I might be a doctor.

But I know,life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .

Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing is impossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If I can't realize my dream,it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find other excuses. If no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right. If you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here, you can become the god and create the truth.

"My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time in the past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Each achievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder." In some extent, the dream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something, the victory will come.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's--- move ----out!

Thank you for your listening!

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.

good evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.

it’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world, change ourselves.

it’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.

frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with ed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. (examples) why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture. there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend,chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.

with the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us.

at last i’d like to share a famouse saying of gandhi with all of you ,that is:if you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.”

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.

Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.

English is now used everywhere in the world, It has become the most important language on internet. Learning English makse me confident and brings me great pleasure.

Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen,

I’m Wang from Class*Grade*’s my pleasure to stand here today to talk about my school—Dalian No.9 Middle school.

Two years ago,when I first stepped into No.9 Middle school,I immediately fell in love with it. It is a beautiful buildings are new and the walls are covered with wild roses that dazzle theeyes in the bee-humming air. I’ve thought of it the grass turns green in the springtime,and how the mocking birds flutter their tails and sing,how the moon shines down on the building,how the Cuckoo Waltz rings out the precious short-lived hours,how the teenagers in bright summer dresses promenade the grassy lawn.

During these two years,my teachers have given me unconditional support,and have given their words of encouragement in good times and their words of consolation in difficult have always given me alittle more than I asked for and instilled in me the values and principles that govern my life ’s the teachers’ instruction here that tells me the art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let rabbis of old put it this way “A man comes to the world with his fist clenched,but when he dies,his hand is open.” I’ve learned a lot from my classmates and friends,we have overcomed many have always been optimistic and my feet hurt,they all cared about me and some of them offered to help me up and down play together,we learn together and we grow up ’s the help between our classmates that tells me how to love my ver mean life is ,meet it and live ’s the school motto that tells me to improve myself,seek truth and develop innovations.

I love my school because of all this,besides,there is something more than I can say.

To end my speech ,let’s all give our best wishes to thefurther development of our campus! Thank you.

美聯儲主席伯克南普林斯頓大學畢業典禮演講稿中英雙語對照:

It's nice to be back at Princeton. I find it difficult to believe that it's been almost 11 years since I departed these halls for Washington. I wrote recently to inquire about the status of my leave from the university, and the letter I got back began, "Regrettably, Princeton receives many more qualified applicants for faculty positions than we can accommodate."重返普林斯頓感覺不錯,很難相信,我離開校園赴華盛頓已經11年了。近期我向校方詢問了我的教職問題,回信稱:“很遺憾,普林斯頓收到很多更有才華的學者的求職信,而教職有限。”

I'll extend my best wishes to the seniors later, but first I want to congratulate the parents and families here. As a parent myself, I know that putting your kid through college these days is no walk in the park. Some years ago I had a colleague who sent three kids through Princeton even though neither he nor his wife attended this university. He and his spouse were very proud of that accomplishment, as they should have been. But my colleague also used to say that, from a financial perspective, the experience was like buying a new Cadillac every year and then driving it off a cliff. I should say that he always added that he would do it all over again in a minute. So, well done, moms, dads, and families.我將在稍後獻上對畢業生的最美好祝願,首先我要恭喜在座的家長們。作爲父母,我知道這年頭供孩子讀完大學不容易,數年前,我的一個同事有3個孩子畢業於普林斯頓,儘管他們夫妻都不畢業於此,但我的同事常說,從財政角度講,這如同每年買輛卡迪拉克,然後讓車墜崖。他總會補充說,他會毫不猶豫的選擇重新來過。所以,感謝你們的工作,母親們,父親們,及家人們。

This is indeed an impressive and appropriate setting for a commencement. I am sure that, from this lectern, any number of distinguished spiritual leaders have ruminated on the lessons of the Ten Commandments. I don't have that kind of confidence, and, anyway, coveting your neighbor's ox or donkey is not the problem it used to be, so I thought I would use my few minutes today to make Ten Suggestions, or maybe just Ten Observations, about the world and your lives after Princeton. Please note, these points have nothing whatsoever to do with interest rates. My qualification for making such suggestions, or observations, besides having kindly been invited to speak today by President Tilghman, is the same as the reason that your obnoxious brother or sister got to go to bed later--I am older than you. All of what follows has been road-tested in real-life situations, but past performance is no guarantee of future results.這確實是做畢業典禮演講的合適場合,我認爲,在這一講臺上,每個精神導師都受到過“十誡”的教誨,我沒有那樣的信心,而且無論無何,覬覦鄰居的驢牛已不是目前的問題,所以今年前幾分鐘我將提出“十個建議”,或稱爲對這個世界和你們畢業後的生活的十個觀察。請注意,這十點與利率毫無關係。我之所以有資格提出這些建議和或觀察,除了普林斯頓的善意邀請外,理由和你們討厭的哥哥姐姐可以晚睡是一個道理:我比你們更老。以下內容均經受過生活的考驗,但以往表現並不能確保未來的結果。

1. The poet Robert Burns once said something about the best-laid plans of mice and men ganging aft agley, whatever "agley" means. A more contemporary philosopher, Forrest Gump, said something similar about life and boxes of chocolates and not knowing what you are going to get. They were both right. Life is amazingly unpredictable; any 22-year-old who thinks he or she knows where they will be in 10 years, much less in 30, is simply lacking imagination. Look what happened to me: A dozen years ago I was minding my own business teaching Economics 101 in Alexander Hall and trying to think of good excuses for avoiding faculty meetings. Then I got a phone call... In case you are skeptical of Forrest Gump's insight, here's a concrete suggestion for each of the graduating seniors. Take a few minutes the first chance you get and talk to an alum participating in his or her 25th, or 30th, or 40th reunion--you know, somebody who was near the front of the P-rade. Ask them, back when they were graduating 25, 30, or 40 years ago, where they expected to be today. If you can get them to open up, they will tell you that today they are happy and satisfied in various measures, or not, and their personal stories will be filled with highs and lows and in-betweens. But, I am willing to bet, those life stories will in almost all cases be quite different, in large and small ways, from what they expected when they started out. This is a good thing, not a bad thing; who wants to know the end of a story that's only in its early chapters? Don't be afraid to let the drama play out.1、阿甘曾講到人生和巧克力的相似性,你不知道下一塊巧克力的味道。人生確實難以預料,任何一個認爲知道其10年後情況的畢業生,更不同說三十年了,我只能說他或她缺乏想象力。看看我吧,12年前我一心教經濟學入門課程,想着編造什麼理由不參加教學會議,結果我接到了那個電話。有過你有機會與畢業25年、30年或40年的校友交談,並使他們敞開心扉,他們將告訴你,他們對生活中哪些事滿意或不滿意,他們經歷過的高潮和低谷。但我敢打賭,他們的人生故事將與預期相異。這是好事而不是壞事,誰想在故事的開篇就知道結局呢?

2. Does the fact that our lives are so influenced by chance and seemingly small decisions and actions mean that there is no point to planning, to striving? Not at all. Whatever life may have in store for you, each of you has a grand, lifelong project, and that is the development of yourself as a human being. Your family and friends and your time at Princeton have given you a good start. What will you do with it? Will you keep learning and thinking hard and critically about the most important questions? Will you become an emotionally stronger person, more generous, more loving, more ethical? Will you involve yourself actively and constructively in the world? Many things will happen in your lives, pleasant and not so pleasant, but, paraphrasing a Woodrow Wilson School adage from the time I was here, "Wherever you go, there you are." If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements won't bring you much satisfaction.2、 是否人生偶然性之大的事實,意味着小的決定和行動無足輕重,不需要規劃和奮鬥呢?當然不是。無論未來人生如何,她將是一個宏大和漫長的項目,是你作爲個人 的發展過程。你的家人、朋友和你在普林斯頓的時光已經爲你造就了良好的開端,未來你會如何?你會不斷學習、竭力思索、對至關重要的問題持批判態度嗎?你會 成爲情感上更強大、更大度、更有愛心、更道德的人嗎?你會更積極的、更建設性的參與世事嗎?你的人生會有很多故事,快樂的,及不太快樂的,如果你不爲自己 感到快樂,就連最偉大的成就業也不會讓你感到滿足。

3. The concept of success leads me to consider so-called meritocracies and their implications. We have been taught that meritocratic institutions and societies are fair. Putting aside the reality that no system, including our own, is really entirely meritocratic, meritocracies may be fairer and more efficient than some alternatives. But fair in an absolute sense? Think about it. A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment; luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement, and, probably, income; luckiest in their educational and career opportunities; and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate--these are the folks who reap the largest rewards. The only way for even a putative meritocracy to hope to pass ethical muster, to be considered fair, is if those who are the luckiest in all of those respects also have the greatest responsibility to work hard, to contribute to the betterment of the world, and to share their luck with others. As the Gospel of Luke says (and I am sure my rabbi will forgive me for quoting the New Testament in a good cause): "From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded" (Luke 12:48, New Revised Standard Version Bible). Kind of grading on the curve, you might say.3、 成功的概念促使我考慮所謂的精英主義及其含義。精英是在健康和基因上最幸運的人,他們在家庭支持、鼓勵上,或在收入上也是最幸運的,他們在教育和職業機遇 上最幸運,他們在很多方面都最幸運,一般人難以複製。一個精英體制是否公平,要看這些精英是否有義務努力工作、致力於建設更好的世界,並與他人分享幸運。

4. Who is worthy of admiration? The admonition from Luke--which is shared by most ethical and philosophical traditions, by the way--helps with this question as well. Those most worthy of admiration are those who have made the best use of their advantages or, alternatively, coped most courageously with their adversities. I think most of us would agree that people who have, say, little formal schooling but labor honestly and diligently to help feed, clothe, and educate their families are deserving of greater respect--and help, if necessary--than many people who are superficially more successful. They're more fun to have a beer with, too. That's all that I know about sociology.4、誰值得尊重?是那些充分利用其優勢,或勇敢面對逆境的人。我想我們會認同,那些雖然接受的正式教育不多,但誠實勞動、勤勉的爲家人提供衣食和教育的人,相比更多表面上很成功的人,更值得尊重,和他們喝兩杯是更有趣的事情。

5. Since I have covered what I know about sociology, I might as well say something about political science as well. In regard to politics, I have always liked Lily Tomlin's line, in paraphrase: "I try to be cynical, but I just can't keep up." We all feel that way sometime. Actually, having been in Washington now for almost 11 years, as I mentioned, I feel that way quite a bit. Ultimately, though, cynicism is a poor substitute for critical thought and constructive action. Sure, interests and money and ideology all matter, as you learned in political science. But my experience is that most of our politicians and policymakers are trying to do the right thing, according to their own views and consciences, most of the time. If you think that the bad or indifferent results that too often come out of Washington are due to base motives and bad intentions, you are giving politicians and policymakers way too much credit for being effective. Honest error in the face of complex and possibly intractable problems is a far more important source of bad results than are bad motives. For these reasons, the greatest forces in Washington are ideas, and people prepared to act on those ideas. Public service isn't easy. But, in the end, if you are inclined in that direction, it is a worthy and challenging pursuit.5、 提到政治,憤世嫉俗是批判性思考和建設性行動的更糟糕的替代品。當然,利益、金錢和意識形態都有影響力,如你在政治課上所學。但我的感受是大部分政界人士 都在尋求做正確的事情,大部分時候,這由他們的觀點和意識決定。在複雜及難於處理的問題上所犯的誠實錯誤,更是糟糕結果的主要原因,而非不良動機。因此, 華盛頓最有影響的力量是觀念和想法,人們基於這些觀念去行動。公共服務並不輕鬆,如果你選擇了這一道路,那是值得的,並頗具挑戰性。

6. Having taken a stab at sociology and political science, let me wrap up economics while I'm at it. Economics is a highly sophisticated field of thought that is superb at explaining to policymakers precisely why the choices they made in the past were wrong. About the future, not so much. However, careful economic analysis does have one important benefit, which is that it can help kill ideas that are completely logically inconsistent or wildly at variance with the data. This insight covers at least 90 percent of proposed economic policies.6、經濟學是頗具詭辯性的思維領域,她在解釋決策者以往所犯錯誤方面顯得很崇高,但在預測未來時,則不僅如此。然而,謹慎的經濟分析確有重要益處,她能去除那些不合邏輯或與數據不符的想法,這對90%的經濟政策建議有影響。

7. I'm not going to tell you that money doesn't matter, because you wouldn't believe me anyway. In fact, for too many people around the world, money is literally a life-or-death proposition. But if you are part of the lucky minority with the ability to choose, remember that money is a means, not an end. A career decision based only on money and not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness.7、我不會告訴你們金錢無用,反正你們也不會聽的。事實上,對全球很多人來說,金錢能夠決定生存還是死亡。但如果你屬於那些幸運得有能力進行抉擇的少數人,請記住,金錢只是途徑,而非最終目標。職業選擇基於收入、而非熱愛,或做出貢獻的熱情,是日後苦惱的根源。

8. Nobody likes to fail but failure is an essential part of life and of learning. If your uniform isn't dirty, you haven't been in the game.8、沒有人希望失敗,但失敗是生活和學習的一部分。如果你衣衫整齊,你並沒有進入比賽。

9. I spoke earlier about definitions of personal success in an unpredictable world. I hope that as you develop your own definition of success, you will be able to do so, if you wish, with a close companion on your journey. In making that choice, remember that physical beauty is evolution's way of assuring us that the other person doesn't have too many intestinal parasites. Don't get me wrong, I am all for beauty, romance, and sexual attraction--where would Hollywood and Madison Avenue be without them? But while important, those are not the only things to look for in a partner. The two of you will have a long trip together, I hope, and you will need each other's support and sympathy more times than you can count. Speaking as somebody who has been happily married for 35 years, I can't imagine any choice more consequential for a lifelong journey than the choice of a traveling companion.9、 我希望你們能夠發展自身對成功的定義,在這一過程中,你們能夠選擇一位親密的伴侶。在做出選擇時,要記住外表美只是人類演變的一種方式,它使我們確信對方 沒有腸道寄生蟲。不要誤解我,我也爲美麗、浪漫和性所吸引,不然美國影視業和廣告業怎麼生存下去呢?但儘管重要,這些不是尋找人生伴侶時需要考慮的事 情。你們將共同走過人生旅程,需要對方的支持和關愛。作爲已婚35年的人士,我想象不到比選擇人生伴侶更重要的事情。

10. Call your mom and dad once in a while. A time will come when you will want your own grown-up, busy, hyper-successful children to call you. Also, remember who paid your tuition to Princeton.10、時不時的給父母去個電話。早晚有一天,你希望自己長大成人的、工作繁忙的、超級成功的孩子給你來個電話,再者,請記着誰供養你上的大學。

Those are my suggestions. They're probably worth exactly what you paid for them. But they come from someone who shares your affection for this great institution and who wishes you the best for the future.

Congratulations, graduates. Give 'em hell.最後,畢業生們,給他們點顏色看看。
