2017級新生開學典禮雙語講話稿
motse says “aspiration is mobilized by action”, which means aspiration will be effective only if it is put into practice, thus leading up to my third word of advice: action. the four years of college life is merely a flick meanwhile time flies. modern society is competitive in nature, and that the state of inertia is terrible enough, but what is more terrible is the fact that other peers who are equally excellent or ever more excellent are taking action, quicker than you. by action, we mean we should begin acting at the right place, in other words, “do right things in a right way”. you should set the correct goal as early as possible, and work out your learning schedule by first leaving out those peripheral, unworthy things in order that you make best use of every minute of your college time. you should not idle away all your time in phone games, weibo, wechat, and qq. your action plan for four years must be framed with the guide of your mentors, the earlier the better, with every move logically and rationally scheduled, the principle being “specific time for specific use”, to achieve the best result of action.
thus comes to the conclusion: aspiration makes a man aim high, perseverance makes a man stand out excellent, and action makes a man push forward.
girls and boys, a university is a place where knowledge and thoughts converge and are distilled, a magnificent stage where you learn to demonstrate your value in life. the faculty of sis will be your dedicated companion all the way to your destination, going all out to help you in your pursuit of “unity in diversity in languages and cultures, excellence for learning, career and life”. we sincerely hope you will be able to release your dream here, and make your adolescence a completely worthy stay with us in four years time.
thank you!
親愛的同學們,朋友們:
下午好!今天是我們學院令人高興而難忘的重要日子。我們迎來了又一批年輕而富有朝氣的年輕學子。大學就是就是在這樣迎來送往的更迭中,彰顯著自己活力。在此,我代表文理學院外國語學院全體教職員工,表達對你們的熱烈歡迎,并感謝你們選擇了,無論是志愿的還是勉強的,來到我們學院成為我們這個大家庭中的一員。
你們一定認為,大學就是培養(yǎng)你們?yōu)榻窈蟮纳淖龊脺蕚渲亍?正如美國密西根大學前校長,教育家杜德斯達所說,大學的一個目的,“就是用知識和理性來武裝學生,使其成為良好的公民并過上有意義的生活!贝_實如此。不過它的確還有更重要的功能。梁啟超說過,上大學最重要的目的是“為了學做人”,學習成長為“知者不惑,仁者不憂,勇者不懼的人”。大學里所有學科的學習,知識的吸取,都只不過是“做人所需要的手段,不能說?窟@些就能達到做人的目的”。他認為,大學這幾年,就能決定“你成不成人”。那么如何成為一個不惑、不憂、不懼,對社會、國家及家庭都有用的人呢?
中國傳統(tǒng)文化的價值觀是:欲做人,先立志。所以,我要給大家的第一個忠告就是立志。王陽明說過:“志不立,天下無可成之事”。毛澤東的老師楊昌濟曾對毛澤東及他的同學們說:“一個人的作為大小,本源于志向高低。無志者,天才可以歸庸碌;有志者,隴畝亦可飛鴻鵠! 我們都見證了這些立大志者最后在各自領域里取得的巨大成功。就我們剛走進大學校園的年輕學子而言,也需早立高遠志向,因為它可以引導我們無論身處何處,都會排除干擾,克服困難,在我們生命力最旺盛、求知欲最強烈、創(chuàng)造力最勃發(fā)又最具可塑性的大學時光,博覽群書,追求“大學問”,練就“大視野”,為最終實現(xiàn)自己的人生志向打下堅實的基礎。余光中說:“理想會使人出眾”,馬云用自己的行為生動地詮釋了這句話。他在清華大學講演時對那里的學生說:祝賀你們考進了一所僅次于杭州師范學院的好大學。馬云立志于杭州師范學院,最終成為全國商界翹楚,可謂有志者,成功不為出處所困。我們今做外語學院學子,是否也具有“今為文理外語人,他日載譽報母校”的豪情?
