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.

Every one has his own dream.When I was a little kid ,my dream was even to have a candy shop of my own .But now ,when I am 16 years old ,standing here ,my dreams have already changed a lot.
I have got quite different experience from other girls.While they were playing toys at home,while they were dreaming to be the princesses in the story .I was running in the hard rain,jumping in the heavy snow,pitching in the strong wind.Nothing could stop me ,because of a wonderful call from my heart -- to be an athlete.Yeah ,of course ,I'm an athlete,I'm so proud of that all the time .
When I was 10 years old ,I became a shot-put athlete.The training was really hard ,I couldn't bear the heavy shot in my hands .But I always believe that "god only help those who help themselves".During those hard days,I find I was growing more quickly than others of the same age.To be an athlete is my most correct choice.But,I quit my team after entering high school because of a silly excuse.I really didn't want to stop my sports career anyway.
Today I say to you my friends that even though I must face the difficulties of yesterday ,today and tomorrow .I still have a dream .It is a dream deeply rooted in my soul.
I have a dream that one day ,I can run,jump and pitch just like I used to be.
I have a dream that one day , I can go back to my dream sports and join the national team.
I have a dream that one day ,I can stand on the highest place at the olympic games.With all the cameras pointing at me.I will tell everyone that I'm so proud to be a Chinese athlete!
This is my hope .This is the faith that I continue my steps with!!!
With this faith ,I will live though the strong wind and heavy rain ,never give up !
So let victory ring from my heart,from all of you.When we allow victory to ring .I must be the one!
In my imagination,I'm a bird ,a magical bird.I carry my dreams all with me by my big wings. I fly though the mountains ,though the forests ,over the sea,to the sun ,the warmest place in the aerospace!

There was alaw in this kingdom -nobody could cut down trees. Once the prince was chasing arabbit and he kicked down three little trees by accident. The king knew it andhe let the guards hit the prince thirty times to punish him.
The king wasvery old. Before he dead, he told the prince his last words,” I am very old now. The forest is our last hope. You willbe the new king. You couldn’t change the law, or a lot of monsters will come! Rememberit my son!”
And shortlyafterwards, the prince became the new king. And the country became stronger andstronger. He was a good king but he still grudged that law!
Oneday, a guest came to the kingdom. He showed the king
a drawing.There were houses and buildings on the picture. The king was vey excited. Andhe decided to listen to that man. He commanded to cut down all the trees. Andhe created a new world! Everyone tried to stop him, but it didn’t work.
Trees werecutting down, animals were running away. Tall buildings were built! At thebeginning, people liked the new city,but later something bad happened. All kinds of monsters showed up: rainmonster, hot monster, wind monster and sand monster. People felt sick with theenvironment, because the new citybrought a lot of pollution. People missed the forest, the animals and thelovely city they used to live in. But they were not able to change it at all.They became homeless and had to abandon their city. Watchedthe image lying before him, the king sank into the seat.
Ladies andgentlemen, from this story we can see that we have to protect our home- theearth, we have to protect the trees, the rivers, the animals and the air, orsomething terrible must happen to us!
It is the onlyearth we got!
That’s all! Thankyou!

Good afternoon ,ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! my topic isOpportunities and Challenges.
First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness,wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question topresident Nixon, he would probably had said,”O(jiān)ur destiny offers not the cup ofdespair,but the chalice of opportunity.”
Needless to say. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparationtime. How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines,public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grassfields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction. Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by
theOlympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example, more and more peoplewill get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attractthem strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment,for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness ofenvironmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games givea unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youthwith the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so manyadvances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?
I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyoneshould use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have anyspecial meaning to you?”
For us, I mean the Chinese youth. Because what we are waiting for is to dosomething significant as repaying the love given to us society is just like aship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Comehere and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard ofit in our true life. This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see theOlympic Games waving its hand. After chewing, most of us will have at least oneplan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter”----that is someone who will give comfort to others. At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, andeveryone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities andgive a big smile to challenges.

在億萬孩子茁壯成長中,是誰告訴他們如何做人?是誰給他們傳輸知識?是誰對他們如同對自己的孩子一般?不用說了,那就是有被稱為“人類靈魂工程師”的——老師。為了你們的成長,老師們含辛茹苦,煞費苦心。
曾經,你是一棵嫩綠的芽兒,大樹為你遮陰擋雨,微風為你送來清涼,然而,沐浴在老師智慧的陽光里,茁壯成長在老師知識的土地上,你們的.生活才慢慢變得繽紛、絢麗。
是老師淵博的知識,讓同學們們感受文明與希望;是老師寬廣的胸懷,讓大家懂得寬容與忍讓;是老師慈善的目光,讓你們由懦弱變得堅強。當同學們遇到挫折灰心喪氣時,是老師在你們心田播種希望;當你們取得成功一帆風順時,是老師及時開出“驕兵必敗”的良方。老師總是笑語盈盈,讓大家充滿力量。即使偶爾慍怒的目光,也讓你們感到親切與盼望。
老師是多么偉大。有人把老師比做水,說她滋潤了一片幼苗;有人把老師比做蠟燭,說她燃燒了自己照亮了別人;還有人把老師比做辛勤的園丁,說她用畢生的心血精心得澆灌著你們這些祖國的花朵。日升日落,老師揮灑著血汗,寒冬酷暑,老師永遠滿腔熱情,指引著你們不斷前進。在將來,無論你會成為挺拔的喬木,還是低矮的灌木,都將會用生命的全部向老師致敬。在此,對于那些不尊重老師的學生,你們應當反省一下自己,應當給老師送上最虔誠的祝福與最真摯的謝意。

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 isnot a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life. Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different lifestage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reachin the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. With thedream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer the dream, thereis hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight. I have a dream: To be a doctor.,because doctor may relieve the pain ofpatients. May let the human change the health. At
the same time, I believedthat, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. Therefore, I hopedin the near future ,I might be a doctor. But I know,life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we failin the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, thedream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to moveahead .
Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing isimpossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If I can't realizemy dream,it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find otherexcuses. 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 canbecome the god and create the truth. "My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword isfamous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time inthe past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Eachachievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want tohave more achievements than others, you must work harder." In some extent, thedream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something, the victory willcome.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird thatcannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren fieldfrozen 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!

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-Oevident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. i have a dream today! When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children-black men and white men , jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “free at least ,free at last . Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”
我有一個夢:有一天,這個國家將站起來,并實現他的信條的真正含義:我們將捍衛(wèi)這些不言而喻的真理,即所有人生來平等。我有一個夢:有一天在喬治亞洲紅色的山丘上,從前的奴隸的子孫們能和奴隸主的子孫們像兄弟一樣坐在同一張桌旁;我有一個夢我的四個孩子有一天將生活在這樣一個國度,在那里,人們不以膚色,而是以品格來評價他們。當自由的鐘聲響起的時候,當我們讓它從每一個村莊,每一個州,每一個城市響起的時候 ,我們將能夠加速這一天的到來。那是,上帝所有的孩子,無論黑人白人還是猶太人,異教徒。天主教徒,還是新教徒,他們都能夠手挽手歌唱那古老的黑人圣歌:“終于自由了,終于自由了,感謝上帝,我們終于自由了!”

In China, the woman who is more than 40 year-old is called Da Ma, it has to be admitted that Da Ma is a powerful group, they own certain money at hand, we always hear about the news about them buying house everywhere or flying to the foreign country to buy the brands. The large group now has invaded the square at night, when the night comes, several groups of Da Ma go to the square, playing the music and dance until 9 o’clock. About few years ago, only few women would do this, but now, as the economy develops, people live a better life, so they begin to find entertainment. Da Ma have made the square dance popular, when we go out at night, we may find them dance everywhere. I think square dance is a good way for people to get exercise, they can keep fit.
在中國,超過四十歲的婦女叫做大媽,不得不承認,大媽是一個很有權利的群體,她們手頭上有一定的金錢,我們總是看到大媽到處買房子或者是飛到國外購買名牌的新聞。這個龐大的群體現在已經攻占了晚上的廣場,當夜晚來臨的時候,幾個大媽團體就會走到廣場里,開著音樂,一直跳到九點。大約幾年前,只有少數的婦女會這樣做,但是現在,隨著經濟的發(fā)展,人們過上了好日子,因此他們開始尋找娛樂。大媽讓廣場舞變得流行,當我們晚上走出去的時候,我們可以發(fā)現她們無處不在跳舞。我覺得廣場舞對人們來說是鍛煉的好方式,可以保持健康。

Change the world? change ourselves
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 them.Indeed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. (examples).but 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 unconsciously get involved in western holidays and culture.
With the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becom 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 earth.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.”
【參考譯文】
改變世界?改變自己
晚上好,尊敬的評委,女士們,先生們。
我很高興站在這里發(fā)表我的演講改變世界,改變我們自己。
引人注目的是,西方的節(jié)日日益變得越來越流行,而中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日被冷落。不久前在北京大學和清華大學約10名醫(yī)生宣布,我們應該拒絕入侵的西方節(jié)日,因為他們認為西方節(jié)日作為一種挑戰(zhàn)我們的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日和文化。
坦白地說,我不完全同意他們。事實上,我們不應該忽視甚至拋棄我們的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日作為中國擁有輝煌的歷史和燦爛的傳統(tǒng)。但是為什么我們不能吸收有意義的西方節(jié)日和文化呢?。
有明顯的原因,一些西方節(jié)日在中國如此受歡迎。另一方面,一些西方的節(jié)日,我們中國人不合理和有意義的事情,比如父親節(jié),四月的愚人節(jié)等,另一方面,普遍的全球化使得西方文化在中國盛行。在這種潮流的沖擊下,中國人不知不覺地卷入了西方的節(jié)日和文化。
隨著世界的發(fā)展,文化交流不同國家和民族之間變得更加快捷和更重要。我們來自不同的國家,但我們是公民相同的世界,所以不同的民族優(yōu)秀文化是我們保護我們的傳統(tǒng)文化在地球每個人的共有財產的唯一途徑就是拒絕外國的文化嗎?答案當然是否定的。我們應該做的是不遺余力地教育中國人去認識和珍惜我們燦爛的傳統(tǒng),而不是拒絕外國文化。只有通過教育,我們才能樹立我們對文化的信心和信念。只有通過教育才能保持和提升的財富,我們的祖先留給我們。
最后我想說的一個著名的分享甘地和你們,那就是:如果你想改變世界,那么你必須改變你自己!

low-carbon life
—— a harmonious world
r ecently , low-carbon life becomes a high-frequency and fashionable word which gets the greatest concern in the world . low-carbon life means a lifestyle that people do their best to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. as to me, when i heard this word at first time, i just felt apathetic, but things came different when the following news hit me accidentally.
on nov.11th , the singles' day,there was a very special collective wedding ceremony entitled “zero release of carbon” at the seaside of shenzhen,where 37 pairs of new couples held their marriage oath activity and signed their names on a board to show their willingness to be the environmental guardian .
no hot food but buffet, no wedding limousines but bicycles, no fireworks but pigeons releasing. i was moved in a great sense by all these.
what impressed me most was an old couple who was over 60 years old. they appeared to be the most passionate one, expressing their solid determination to follow the lifestyle forever, which made me a bit ashamed. look! the low-carbon life is so close to us, even the old couples can do it, why can’t we young students? we should say, yes we can!
take me as an example, i’m a meat lover. every meal without meat, i feel uncomfortable, but recently, i changed my dietary habit . please allow me to ask you a question: do you know what is the main cause of the global warming?okay, let me tell you. those people who eat meat!that’s true! when we produce one kilogram meat, we will exhaust 36.4 kilogram co2 just like we drive the car for three hours. if every chinese eat meat one kilogram less than before, the emissions of the co2 will be 47,320,000,000 kilograms less than before! unbelievable!
eating habit is only one side, as a matter of fact, low-carbon life exists in all the aspects in our daily life. do not buy too many clothes、do not use lift if possible、 do not watch too much tv、 do use the recycled paper、do use the energy-saving lamp、do use the e-book and many many things ,remember , low-carbon is just around you !
lately , from nov.29th to dec. 10th , the united nations climate change conferencestaged in cancun , mexico , aiming to put the bali roadmap into practice and make it legally binding .besides , the international community has also taken effective measures to control the damage of our environment , leading to the foundation of various treaties like the united nations framework convention on climate change 、the kyoto protocol and so on.
in a word , as a college student,we should cultivate our awareness of energy saving; we should put it into practice; and we should help our
families and friends to live a low-carbon life. only by doing so can we hope to create a world where all humans enjoy a harmonious life. yes, we can!

but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, “why are you being so mellow?“ -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.
and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guilty about this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn't open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.
now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn't even aware that i was making them.
now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and our communities' loss. and at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss. because when it comes to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best. a third to a half of the population are introverts -- a third to a half. so that's one out of every two or three people you know. so even if you're an extrovert yourself, i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.
now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. it's different from being shy. shyness is about fear of social judgment. introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. so extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.

The past two days are special for the 7.23 million examinees and their parents. It is the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao in Chinese). Based on the current education system in China, the result of the two day exam greatly impacts the future of any students in China. The score will decide whether you can receive college education. For most places in China, only half of the students are eligible for college education (only 3.40 million will be admitted to colleges in 2019) and the rest has to start work after high-school. In cities like Beijing and Shanghai, students are lucky enough to have a much higher ratio (more than 70%) to enter colleges.
Tsinghua, Peking University, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University are among the first class in China. But only very few people can go there.
To enter a college or not, or to enter a good college or not directly impact the first offer they can get after graduate and impact their career. So it is the most critical time for students.
Isaac recorded the "No Honking During Gaokao" sign. I saw the same sign near Henan Rd. and Zhaojiabang Rd.. Not only honking is not allowed. All construction sites around schools were ordered to work in limited time in the recent 10 days. Thousands of policemen are working around schools to make sure there is no noise or traffic jam during the two important days. Taxi drivers even offer free ride to transport examinees and their family.

Dear teachers, dear students:
hello everyone!
The topic of my speech is "the hardness of life"
The vast desert, a tree stand, the show is a monument to the image.
Towering mountains, thousands of tree stand up, as is a magnificent the Great Wall.
The long river, all the trees stood up into a dragon of glory.
We are a symbol of too much, and too much. But I believe that my image is not "the gentlest hands, skin, such as Diorskin" Lin Daiyu, nor is the modern "unkempt and shabby", "Su Qier". We are a symbol of hope and vitality. So we show in front of others should be inserted without pleats, face without scale, modest and polite gestures exudes a stream of heroic spirit, the image of the vigor and vitality of the modern new youth, a into the embodiment of the spirit of nature.
Someone once said, life is a kind of hardness, integrity and dignity of life is propped up the hardness of bone. "Better life" and "the Kui back in the day, and not ashamed on the ground", which is always the traditional virtue of the China. Li Bai's "the eyebrow nengcui Zheyaoshan powerful thing, so that I may not be happy Yan" this awe inspiring atmosphere of the verse and whether it will make those no self-esteem people to shame? Loss of self-esteem is a worthless person, and we as the vanguard of the times, if drown in the darkness forever, or to do a dauntless hero, a flower in the wind and rain sonorous rose. The answer is self-evident.
Desert desolate also has the monument stands, Castle Peak again proud, but also have the great wall around, the river again quiet, also there is a dragon in the recumbent. But the time can be changed, our image, our glory remains the same. Because we pride, because we are confident, because we have a fresh life. And because of this, it is a vast desert riparian long, Qingshan was evergreen, the hardness of life is forever.
尊敬的各位老師,親愛的同學們:
大家好!
我演講的題目是《生命的硬度》
茫茫大漠,一棵樹站不起來,展現出來的是一座豐碑的形象。
巍巍青山,千萬棵樹站起來,連成的是一條長城的宏偉。
悠悠河岸,所有的樹站起來,綴成的是一條蛟龍的雄風。
我們象征著太多,又演繹著太多。但我相信,我的形象,絕不是“手若柔荑,膚如凝脂”的林黛玉,也絕不是“蓬頭垢面、衣衫襤褸”的現代“蘇乞兒”。我們象征著希望、朝氣。所以我們展現在別人面前的就應該是衣無褶、臉無垢、禮貌謙和的舉手投足間散發(fā)著一股英氣,朝氣和活力的現代新青年的形象,一個融入了大自然的精靈的化身。
有人曾說,生命有一種硬度,氣節(jié)和尊嚴是撐起生命硬度的骨骼!皩帪橛袼椋粸橥呷、“仰不愧于天,俯不怍于地”,這是歷來中國的傳統(tǒng)美德。李白的“安能摧眉折腰事權貴,使我不得開心顏”這一大氣凜然的詩句又是否會讓那些毫無自尊的人汗顏?喪失了自尊的人是一個沒出息的人,而我們作為時代的先鋒,要是永遠在黑暗中沉溺呢,還是要做一個頂天立地的好男兒,一朵綻放在風雨中的鏗鏘玫瑰。答案,不言而喻。
大漠再荒涼也有豐碑的矗立,青山再孤高,也有長城的環(huán)繞,河水再平靜,也有蛟龍的橫臥。而時代再怎么變,我們的形象,我們的雄風依然如故。因為我們自尊,因為我們自信,因為我們有著鮮活的生命。而正因如此,河岸才悠悠,大漠才廣袤,青山才長青,生命的硬度才長存。
英語作文演講稿模板 篇22
do you think it's possible to control someone's attention? even more than that, what about predicting human behavior? i think those are interesting ideas, if you could. i mean, for me, that would be the perfect superpower, actually kind of an evil way of approaching it. but for myself, in the past, i've spent the last 20 years studying human behavior from a rather unorthodox way: picking pockets. when we think of misdirection, we think of something as looking off to the side, when actually it's often the things that are right in front of us that are the hardest things to see, the things that you look at every day that you're blinded to.
for example, how many of you still have your cell phones on you right now? great. double-check. make sure you still have them on you. i was doing some shopping beforehand. now you've looked at them probably a few times today, but i'm going to ask you a question about them. without looking at your cell phone directly yet, can you remember the icon in the bottom right corner? bring them out, check, and see how accurate you were. how'd you do? show of hands. did we get it?
now that you're done looking at those, close them down, because every phone has something in common. no matter how you organize the icons, you still have a clock on the front. so, without looking at your phone, what time was it? you just looked at your clock, right? it's an interesting idea. now, i'll ask you to take that a step further with a game of trust. close your eyes. i realize i'm asking you to do that while you just heard there's a pickpocket in the room, but close your eyes.
now, you've been watching me for about 30 seconds. with your eyes closed, what am i wearing? make your best guess. what color is my shirt? what color is my tie? now open your eyes. by a show of hands, were you right?
it's interesting, isn't it? some of us are a little bit more perceptive than others. it seems that way. but i have a different theory about that, that model of attention. they have fancy models of attention, posner's trinity model of attention. for me, i like to think of it very simple, like a surveillance system. it's kind of like you have all these fancy sensors, and inside your brain is a little security guard. for me, i like to call him frank. so frank is sitting at a desk. he's got all sorts of cool information in front of him, high-tech equipment, he's got cameras, he's got a little phone that he can pick up, listen to the ears, all these senses, all these perceptions. but attention is what steers your perceptions, is what controls your reality. it's the gateway to the mind. if you don't attend to something, you can't be aware of it. but ironically, you can attend to something without being aware of it. that's why there's the cocktail effect: when you're in a party, you're having conversations with someone, and yet you can recognize your name and you didn't even realize you were listening to that.
now, for my job, i have to play with techniques to exploit this, to play with your attention as a limited resource. so if i could control how you spend your attention, if i could maybe steal your attention through a distraction. now, instead of doing it like misdirection and throwing it off to the side, instead, what i choose to focus on is frank, to be able to play with the frank inside your head, your little security guard, and get you, instead of focusing on your external senses, just to go internal for a second. so if i ask you to access a memory, like, what is that? what just happened? do you have a wallet? do you have an american express in your wallet? and when i do that, your frank turns around. he accesses the file. he has to rewind the tape. and what's interesting is, he can't rewind the tape at the same time that he's trying to process new data.
now, i mean, this sounds like a good theory, but i could talk for a long time and tell you lots of things, and they may be true, a portion of them, but i think it's better if i tried to show that to you here live. so if i come down, i'm going to do a little bit of shopping. just hold still where you are.
hello, how are you? it's lovely to see you. you did a wonderful job onstage. you have a lovely watch that doesn't come off very well. do you have your ring as well? good. just taking inventory. you're like a buffet. it's hard to tell where to start, there's so many great things.
hi, how are you? good to see you.
hi, sir, could you stand up for me, please? just right where you are. oh, you're married. you follow directions well. that's nice to meet you, sir. you don't have a whole lot inside your pockets. anything down by the pocket over here? hopefully so. have a seat. there you go. you're doing well.
hi, sir, how are you? good to see you, sir. you have a ring, a watch. do you have a wallet on you? joe: i don't. apollo robbins: well, we'll find one for you. come on up this way, joe. give joe a round of applause. come on up joe. let's play a game.
(applause)
pardon me.
i don't think i need this clicker anymore. you can have that. thank you very much. i appreciate that.
come on up to the stage, joe. let's play a little game now. do you have anything in your front pockets? joe: money. ar: money. all right, let's try that. can you stand right over this way for me? turn around and, let's see, if i give you something that belongs to me, this is just something i have, a poker chip. hold out your hand for me. watch it kind of closely. now this is a task for you to focus on. now you have your money in your front pocket here? joe: yup. ar: good. i'm not going to actually put my hand in your pocket. i'm not ready for that kind of commitment. one time a guy had a hole in his pocket, and that was rather traumatizing for me. i was looking for his wallet and he gave me his phone number. it was a big miscommunication.
so let's do this simply. squeeze your hand. squeeze it tight. do you feel the poker chip in your hand? joe: i do. ar: would you be surprised if i could take it out of your hand? say yes. joe: very. ar: good. open your hand. thank you very much. i'll cheat if you give me a chance. make it harder for me. just use your hand. grab my wrist, but squeeze, squeeze firm. did you see it go? joe: no. ar: no, it's not here. open your hand. see, while we're focused on the hand, it's sitting on your shoulder right now. go ahead and take it off. now, let's try that again. hold your hand out flat. open it up all the way. put your hand up a little bit higher, but watch it close there, joe. see, if i did it slowly, it'd be back on your shoulder. (laughter) joe, we're going to keep doing this till you catch it. you're going to get it eventually. i have faith in you. squeeze firm. you're human, you're not slow. it's back on your shoulder. you were focused on your hand. that's why you were distracted. while you were watching this, i couldn't quite get your watch off. it was difficult. yet you had something inside your front pocket. do you remember what it was? joe: money. ar: check your pocket. see if it's still there. is it still there? (laughter) oh, that's where it was. go ahead and put it away. we're just shopping. this trick's more about the timing, really. i'm going to try to push it inside your hand. put your other hand on top for me, would you? it's amazingly obvious now, isn't it? it looks a lot like the watch i was wearing, doesn't it?
(laughter) (applause)
joe: that's pretty good. that's pretty good. ar: oh, thanks. but it's only a start. let's try it again, a little bit differently. hold your hands together. put your other hand on top. now if you're watching this little token, this obviously has become a little target. it's like a red herring. if we watch this kind of close, it looks like it goes away. it's not back on your shoulder. it falls out of the air, lands right back in the hand. did you see it go? yeah, it's funny. we've got a little guy. he's union. he works up there all day. if i did it slowly, if it goes straightaway, it lands down by your pocket. i believe is it in this pocket, sir? no, don't reach in your pocket. that's a different show. so -- (squeaking noise) -- that's rather strange. they have shots for that. can i show them what that is? that's rather bizarre. is this yours, sir? i have no idea how that works. we'll just send that over there.
that's great. i need help with this one. step over this way for me. now don't run away. you had something down by your pants pocket. i was checking mine. i couldn't find everything, but i noticed you had something here. can i feel the outside of your pocket for a moment? down here i noticed this. is this something of yours, sir? is this? i have no idea. that's a shrimp.
joe: yeah. i'm saving it for later.
ar: you've entertained all of these people in a wonderful way, better than you know. so we'd love to give you this lovely watch as a gift. (laughter) hopefully it matches his taste. but also, we have a couple of other things, a little bit of cash, and then we have a few other things. these all belong to you, along with a big round of applause from all your friends. (applause)
oe, thank you very much.
(applause)
so, same question i asked you before, but this time you don't have to close your eyes. what am i wearing?
(laughter)
(applause)
attention is a powerful thing. like i said, it shapes your reality. so, i guess i'd like to pose that question to you. if you could control somebody's attention, what would you do with it?
thank you.

Stress comes in all shapes and size, and has become pervasive, it seems to penetrate everything and everybody, it's hard to get through a day without hearing or reading something about stress. Some doctors refer to stress as some kind of new plague. However, numerous surveys confirm that the problem has progressively risen since the 1980s. Why all the disorder? After all, stress has been around since Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. Without stress, there would be no life. However, just as distress can caw disease, there are good stresses that balance this, and promote wellness.
Increased stress results in increased productivity--up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. It's very much like the stress on a violin string. Not enough produces a dull. harsh sound. Too much makes sharp, annoying noir, or causes the string to snap. However, just the right degree can create magnificent tones. Similarly, we all need to find the proper level of stress that promotes optimal performance, and enables us to make harmonious music. Good health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and inseparability of mind/body relationships. In the next program. I hope you will join me in the pursuit of learning how to exploit stress, so that it can work for you. and make you more productive, rather than self-destructive.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is always an exciting day in New Year Eve as the majority of people in the world are in very good mood of celebrating New Year. There are numerous New Year parties around the globe where many children are re-united with their families, young couples are together with their newborns, grandparents are taking their opportunities to spend some quality time with their own children as well as grandchildren. And the list goes on and on.
Just what exactly is New Year Eve? In my own view, I think there are two sets of meaning.
First, New Year Eve represents hope and a new start of the year. Hope is important to mankind. The symbolic meaning encourages us to put all our bad luck behind us as we look forward to a fresh start from the first day of the year.
Second, New Year Eve represents bonding between mankind. This important day grants all of us a chance to stay close to someone we love dearly. As we spend time with them, perhaps, we ask them how they are doing lately, or we find other ways to show someones how much we care for them.
What else do we get out of New Year Eve? Joy is the feel good factor. It means we enjoy being with someone. And joy is something that money can not buy in this world.
Thank you very much.

Only mother love is true love .It's gives everybody everything in all his life ,When you are still a baby ,mother takes good care of you as much as possible.In your waking hour she always holds you in her arms.When you are ill,she stop her work right now to look after you day and night and forgets about herself.When you are growing up day by day,she feels very happy.When you are old enough to go to school,mother still looks after you all the time.On cold winter days,she always tells you to put on more clothes.She always stands in the window waiting for you back from school.When you are hurry to leave home for school for breakfast ,she feels worried about you at home.She usually knows about your study and spends much money on your school things .When you do well at school .you will see the brightset smile on her face.
Mother is ailways ready to give everything she has to her children ,not to receive.
What true love that is in the world !We will remember Mother love forever .
Every one of us,rich or poor,should at least have one or two good friends.My friends will listen to me when I want to speak,will wipe my eyes when I cry,will take care of me when I am sick,and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
As students,we could share more time with our friends.The friendship in our young hearts is pure,fresh and simple.I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends.Especially when I had Justin as one of my best friends.Justin was my English teacher from the USA.I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little English.Justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face,and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive.He taught us English by telling stories,playing games,singing songs,and even dancing.I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class,we went to some other classes to sing songs for them,just like what people do in the states on Christmas Eve.It was so interesting and unforgettable.Justin was an excellent teacher,because he taught us not only how to study English well,but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives.I know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts.Facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important,the real importance lay in faith,under-standing,and care.Justin is the best friend I have ever had,and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.
Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives.It is actually like a bottle of wine,the longer it is kept,the sweeter it will be.It is also like a cup of tea.When we are thirsty,it will be our best choice,but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves,it is also the most fragrant drink.

英語作文演講稿模板 篇28
創(chuàng)新,一個我們耳熟能詳的詞。尤其是這樣一個飛速發(fā)展的時代,這個詞時時撞擊我們的耳膜。但是,創(chuàng)新,其豐富的內涵,卻是許多人盡其一生孜孜以求,也未必可以充分了解的。
朋友,你認識創(chuàng)新嗎?
創(chuàng)新其實是一個夢想。
中國古代曾有一個人,背負紙做的翅膀,義無反顧地縱身跳下高高的山崖,希冀像鳥兒一樣飛翔在晴空。在粉身碎骨跳下的一瞬間,他是否隱約看到了碧空中可以自由翱翔的飛機?
英國有一位作家,在他一生的作品中,盡情幻想,將熱氣球、潛水艇、電報提前了幾十、甚至幾百年帶入我們的生活。在凡爾納下筆的一剎那,他是否已經預先看到了遙遠的未來?
夢想標示著豐富的想象力,想象力為創(chuàng)新提供源泉。創(chuàng)新從夢想中蛻變,以夢想為根,受夢想澆灌。像永不失天真的愛因斯坦吹出的肥皂泡,在空冥的大地上,不斷破滅又不斷上升。
創(chuàng)新需要懷疑與批判。
懷疑是創(chuàng)新的萌芽,批判是創(chuàng)新的成長。在懷疑中發(fā)現錯誤,在批判中改正錯誤,創(chuàng)新才能完成。然而懷疑的精神、批判的勇氣,人們?yōu)橹冻隽颂嗵唷?/p>
1543年的春天,人們震驚了,一個人,他居然宣稱地球是圍繞太陽轉的。上帝啊!讓這個人不得好死。人們肆意地嘲笑,詛咒。
終于,詛咒靈驗了,六十七年后的一天,在美麗的羅馬鮮花廣場,那個虔誠地捍衛(wèi)并發(fā)展了太陽中心學說的布魯諾被高高地綁在十字架上。一個火把投向他,燒焦的肉體發(fā)出一陣陣異味。死亡的氣息在游蕩。突然,一個聲音從那扭曲的身軀中迸發(fā)出來:“火并不能把我征服,未來的世界會了解我,知道我的價值。”
是的,火并沒有征服他,那憤怒的火焰,那毀滅的火焰,只能把掛在偽真理臉上的面具燒焦。彌漫在鮮花廣場的灰燼不愿散去,它要告訴我們:創(chuàng)新,踏著用生命證明了的懷疑與批判,終究會打破傳統(tǒng)的桎梏,得到永生。
創(chuàng)新要求深刻。
我們都知道,阿基米德在洗澡時發(fā)現了浮力定律,成就了科學史上的一段美談。可是我們是否還記得曹沖稱象的故事?那可愛的孩子也不自覺地運用著浮力定律。然而,后者只被當成一個睡前故事流傳于孩子們的枕邊,前者卻孕育了物理學的一個基本原理。
有時候,創(chuàng)新并不是很難,說不準什么時候,一個思想的火花閃過,創(chuàng)新就來到眼前?苫鸹ú荒荛L久,創(chuàng)新卻要求永恒。于是創(chuàng)新要求深刻的思考,追求本質的東西,要求我們更進一步地去挖掘它具有的創(chuàng)新意識。
然而挖掘不是最難,最難的是那意識的產生。你一定游過泳,一定玩過水,你一定感受到過水的壓力,但你能說,你可以造出浮力定律嗎?甚至你敢說,會想到用水來稱象嗎?恐怕不敢吧?生活中許多事情就是這樣,在你經歷時,就已觸摸到創(chuàng)新的邊緣了,然而我們卻沒有那個觀念,有意識地將創(chuàng)新完成。
作為大學生,我們的知識仍然貧乏,也許我們不能有多少偉大的具體的創(chuàng)新。但是我們一定要培養(yǎng)我們的創(chuàng)新意識。這意識中包含著許多內容。首先,我們要學會夢想,學會不為現實堵塞我們的天真,不時地做一做童年的夢,想一想飛上火星的浪漫,想一想生活于外太空的美妙。不要只盯著別墅、跑車,做物質的奴隸。然后,讓我們學會懷疑與批判。不要嚇倒在老師那威嚴的面孔下,不要認為凡是印成了鉛字的東西就是真理。昆德拉說:“人類一思考,上帝就發(fā)笑。”相信自己,堅持懷疑,敢于批判,不懼權威,方顯英雄本色。再次,讓我們深沉一下,穩(wěn)重一點,不妨壓抑一下青春的律動,多思考一些東西,多研究一些學問,不要有了一個奇特的創(chuàng)意,一個未聞的發(fā)現就妄自高興,而到實踐時卻束手無策。最后也是最重要的,就是要培養(yǎng)自己的創(chuàng)新意識,尤其是對專業(yè)中新事物的敏感度。倫琴因為一張被感光了的底片,意識到X射線的存在,最終獲得第一屆諾貝爾獎,牛頓因為一只落下的蘋果而發(fā)現萬有引力。他們對于專業(yè)的敏銳,是我們在學習中真正要掌握到手的知識。
認識創(chuàng)新。“認”是一個認知,明白其表象的過程;而“識”是一個理解,探索其本質含義的過程。認識創(chuàng)新,我們不僅僅要“認”,更重要的是要“識”。
Innovation, one we are familiar with the word .In particular, this is an era of
rapid development , the word always hit our eardrums . However , innovation and its rich connotation, is that many people do their assiduous life , it may not be able to fully understand.Friend , do you know innovation ?
Innovation is actually a dream.
Ancient China had a man ,burdened wings made of paper , hesitate to jump as high cliff , hoping to fly like a bird in the clear sky . Jumped in pieces at the moment whether
he could vaguely see the blue sky in the freedom of flying airplanes?
Britain has a writer, works in his lifetime , enjoy fantasy, the hot air balloon , submarine ,telegraph ahead of dozens , or even hundreds of years into our lives.
Verne pen down at the moment ,whether he had previously seen the distant future ? Dreams marked rich imagination , imagination as a source of innovation . Innovative transformation from dream to dream is the root, watered by the dream . Einstein never lost innocence like blowing soap bubbles in the air offerings of the earth,constantly shattered and constantly rising .
Innovation requires suspicion and criticism .Suspected to be the seeds of innovation , critical innovation growth. Errors found in doubt , correct the error in the criticism , innovation to complete.
However, skepticism , criticism of courage, people pay the price too much. The spring of 1543 , people shocked , a person, he actually claimed that the earth revolves around the sun .
God, ah ! Let this person Budehaosi . People wanton laugh ,curse.Finally ,the curse come true , the day after 1978 , in the beautiful Rome Campo de 'Fiori, the religiously defended and developed the center of the sun is high in the doctrine of Bruno tied to the cross. A torch toward him, and sent waves smell of burnt flesh . The smell of death in the wandering . Suddenly, a voice from that distorted body burst out : "Fire does not make me conquer the future of the world will know me , and know my worth ."
Yes, the fights did not conquer
him, and that the flames of anger , and that the destruction of the flame , only
to hang in the pseudo- truth face mask burning. Filled in the
Campo de 'Fiori reluctant to disperse the ashes , it has to tell us: innovation
, marching with his life proved suspicion and criticism , will eventually break
the traditional shackles and have eternal life.
Innovation requires profound .
We all know that in the bath
Archimedes discovered the law of buoyancy , the achievements of science in the
history of a brother's wife. But we still
remember Cao Chong said the elephant story ? Lovely children do not consciously use the law of
buoyancy . However, the latter only as a
bedtime story being circulated in the children's pillow , the former has given
birth to one of the basic principles of physics .
Sometimes, innovation is not
difficult , can not say what time the spark of an idea flashed , innovation came
to hand. Sparks can not last long , but
innovation requires eternity. So innovation requires deep
thinking , the pursuit of the essence of things, require us to dig further it
has a sense of innovation .
However, mining is not the most difficult , the most difficult is that conscious generation. You must swam , played some water, you will feel the pressure over the water , but you can say that you can create buoyancy do ? Even if you say , think of water as it came to be called ? I'm afraid not , right ? Is so many things in life , in your experiences, had to touch the edge of innovation , yet we do not have that concept , consciously innovative complete.
As college students, our knowledge is still poor , maybe we can not have a great number of specific innovations.
But we must nurture our sense of innovation . It contains many elements of consciousness .
First, we must learn to dream , learn not reality clogging our innocence, from time to time to make a childhood dream to do , think about Mars fly romantic , think about the beauty of living in outer space . Do not just stare at the villa , sports car, doing physical slaves. Then, let us learn to doubt and criticism . Do not intimidated by the teacher that majestic face , do not think that all printed in lead type stuff is the truth. Kundera said: " a thinking human beings , God laughs ." Believe in yourself, doubts persist , the courage to criticize , fear of authority , the hero character . Again,let us look deep , steady light, it may look youthful rhythm depressed ,thinking something more to study some knowledge , do not have a strange idea, anunheard of discovery to pretend happy, but to practice Shique helpless. Finally, and most important , is to develop their own sense of innovation, especially for professionals in the sensitivity of new things . Roentgen because one is a photographic negatives and realized the existence of X-rays , and ultimately won the first Nobel Prize , Newton as a falling apple and discovered gravity . They professional
acumen is that we really want to master in learning hand knowledge.Recognizing innovation . "Recognize " is a perception,understand the process of representation ; and " knowledge" is an understanding of the process of exploring its essential meaning . Recognizing innovation, we not only want to"recognize ", but it is important to " know ."

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.

英語作文演講稿模板 篇30
every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. i could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and unforgettable. justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.
friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. it is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it is also like a cup of tea. when we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
however, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. all of us have to spare some time for personal lives. we have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. when staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
as we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. but it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. there is a famous motto saying that “a friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” it is really true. we have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. when we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.
finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts.
我們每一個人,富裕還是貧窮,至少應該有一個或兩個好朋友。我的朋友們會聽我的,當我想說話的時候,會抹去我的眼睛當我哭泣,會照顧我當我生病了,和我的朋友會和我一起并排通過這次旅行的生活。 作為學生,我們可以分享更多的時間與我們的朋友。友誼在我們年輕的心是純潔的,新鮮和簡單。我經常覺得很幸運,有很多好朋友。尤其是當我有賈斯汀是我最好的朋友之一。賈斯汀是我的英語老師來自美國。我見到他在1996年當我還是一個學生,只能說很少的英語。賈斯汀是一個生動的年輕人和一個燦爛的微笑在他的臉上,他總有他的特殊的方式使課堂活躍和有吸引力。他教我們英語講故事,玩游戲,唱歌,甚至跳舞。我仍然可以記得很清楚,當我們天色已類的一個下午,我們去了一些其他類為他們唱歌,就像人們在圣誕前夕在美國做些什么。它是如此有趣和令人難忘的。賈斯汀是一個優(yōu)秀的老師,因為他不僅教我們如何學好英語,而且找到的美麗世界的方式和方法的天使到別人的生活。我知道有友誼和純潔的愛在我們心中。面對這種寶貴的情感國籍和年齡是很重要的,真正的重要性在于信仰,理解,和關心。賈斯汀是我曾經遇到的最好的朋友,我知道我將珍惜那些日子和他呆在一起的最好的我的記憶的一部分。
友誼是一種財寶在我們的生活中。它實際上是像一瓶酒,將其保存的時間越長,甜。也像一杯茶。當我們口渴時,這將是我們的最佳選擇,但當我們有足夠的時間玩得很開心的,也是最芳香的飲料。 然而,在這個快速發(fā)展的現代社會,現實不是。越來越多的人忘了享受生命的美麗和——美麗的友誼。他們努力工作為了獲得一個更高的位置,在社會和為他們的工作賺更多的錢。當然,我們并不否認,重要的是要找到一個好地方在我們的生活中,但我們希望越來越多的人能更關注自己和他們的朋友。我們所有人必須備用一些個人生活的時間。我們必須找到機會來表達我們的情感和愛。當住在我們的朋友,我們可以完全釋放自己。我們可以做任何我們想要的,我們可以一起開懷大笑,一起交談,甚至一起哭。我應該說在一起與我們最好的朋友是我們生活的最美妙的時刻。
我們知道,我們會感到孤獨,如果我們甚至沒有一個朋友。但這并不意味著我們可以依靠我們的朋友。有一個著名的格言說:“一個朋友就像一個被子棉絮,但真正的東西,使你溫暖的是你自己的溫度。“這是真的。我們必須努力工作和我們的朋友一起,互相鼓勵,互相幫助。當我們接受愛和友誼,我們應該報答盡可能多。 最后,讓我們一起祈禱,有一天,我們都能找到我們想要找到的人,并可以享受一個真正的美麗的友誼在我們的生活中。讓我們之間的友誼的花朵祈禱我們的朋友和我們在我們的心總是綻放明亮。

Good morning, Everyone!
早上好,大家!
I will talk about sports. I am an active boy. I like many kinds of sports, such as walking, skating, climbing, cycling and skipping. Doing sports gives me a good health and brings me a lot of fun.

Now, I will tell you about my cycling sport. I often ride my bicycle when I am free. I like to ride my bicycle on a road near my house. It is an empty road. There are no cars and few people walking on the road. It is about four kilometers long. It has several long slopes. So it is very good for cycling. When I ride down the slopes, the bicycle runs very fast, and I feel I am flying. That’s a very good feeling for me. When I ride up the slopes, it is very difficult, but it is a good training for me. I always try my best to ride up as long as possible. Cycling there gives me lots of fun.
現在,我將告訴你關于我的自行車運動。我經常騎我的自行車在我的自由。我喜歡在我家附近的道路騎自行車。它是一個空的路。沒有汽車,很少有人走在路上。這是約四公里長。它有幾個很長的坡。所以它是騎自行車很好。當我騎下山坡,自行車跑得很快,我覺得我在飛翔。這對我來說是一個非常好的感覺。當我騎上斜坡,它是非常困難的,但它對我來說是一個良好的訓練。我總是盡我最大的努力去騎了盡可能長的。自行車也給了我許多樂趣。
Everyone can get ill, but doing sports is a good doctor. I know an English saying “Exercise one hour a day, keep illness away.” My own story has proved it. I once had an illness. I had to go to see the doctors and take medicines very often. After doing sports for several years, I have recovered now.

美聯(lián)儲主席伯克南普林斯頓大學畢業(yè)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.我將在稍后獻上對畢業(yè)生的最美好祝愿,首先我要恭喜在座的家長們。作為父母,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(yè)于普林斯頓,盡管他們夫妻都不畢業(yè)于此,但我的同事常說,從財政角度講,這如同每年買輛卡迪拉克,然后讓車墜崖。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(yè)典禮演講的合適場合,我認為,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”,或稱為對這個世界和你們畢業(yè)后的生活的十個觀察。請注意,這十點與利率毫無關系。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,但以往表現并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,任何一個認為知道其10年后情況的畢業(yè)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,想著編造什么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(yè)25年、30年或40年的校友交談,并使他們敞開心扉,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,意味著小的決定和行動無足輕重,不需要規(guī)劃和奮斗呢?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,是你作為個人 的發(fā)展過程。你的家人、朋友和你在普林斯頓的時光已經為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(tài)度嗎?你會 成為情感上更強大、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,如果你不為自己 感到快樂,就連最偉大的成就業(yè)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(yè)機遇 上最幸運,他們在很多方面都最幸運,一般人難以復制。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、致力于建設更好的世界,并與他人分享幸運。
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(yōu)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、勤勉的為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(tài)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。在復雜及難于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,人們基于這些觀念去行動。公共服務并不輕松,如果你選擇了這一道路,那是值得的,并頗具挑戰(zhàn)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。但如果你屬于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(yè)選擇基于收入、而非熱愛,或做出貢獻的熱情,是日后苦惱的根源。
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,你并沒有進入比賽。
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(fā)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,我也為美麗、浪漫和性所吸引,不然美國影視業(yè)和廣告業(yè)怎么生存下去呢?但盡管重要,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。作為已婚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,請記著誰供養(yǎng)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.最后,畢業(yè)生們,給他們點顏色看看。
