Transcr ipt of Apple CEO Tim Cook's commencement address at Tulane University
蘋果CEO蒂姆·庫(kù)克杜蘭大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮演講致詞
Hello Tulane! Thank you President Fitts, Provost Forman, distinguished faculty, other faculty (laughs), and the entire Tulane family, including the workers, ushers, (and) volunteers who prepared this beautiful space. And I feel duty-bound to also recognize the hard-working bartenders at The Boot. Though they're not here with us this morning, I'm sure some of you are reflecting on their contributions as well. (The Boot is a popular college bar right next to Tulane's campus which has been around for decades.)
你好,杜蘭大學(xué)!感謝菲茨校長(zhǎng)、福爾曼教務(wù)長(zhǎng)、尊敬的教職員工、其他教職員工[笑]以及整個(gè)杜蘭大家庭,包括為這個(gè)美麗的講堂做準(zhǔn)備的工作人員、引座員和志愿者。我覺得我有責(zé)任也稱贊一下在The Boot工作的辛勤的調(diào)酒師。雖然他們今天早上沒有和我們?cè)谝黄,但我相信你們中的一些人也在反思他們的貢獻(xiàn)。[The Boot是一家受歡迎的大學(xué)酒吧,緊挨著杜蘭大學(xué)校園,已經(jīng)存在了幾十年了。]
And just as many of you have New Orleans in your veins, and perhaps your livers, some of us at Apple have New Orleans in our blood as well. When I was a student at Auburn, the Big Easy was our favorite getaway. It's amazing how quickly those 363 miles fly by when you're driving toward a weekend of beignets and beer. And how slowly they go in the opposite direction. Apple's own Lisa Jackson is a proud Tulane alum. Yes. She brought the Green Wave all the way to Cupertino where she heads our environment and public policy work. We're thrilled to have her talent and leadership on our team.
就像你們中很多人的血管里也許還有肝臟里有新奧爾良一樣,我們蘋果公司的一些人的血液里也有新奧爾良。當(dāng)我還是奧本大學(xué)的學(xué)生的時(shí)候,我們最喜歡的度假勝地是Big Easy。非常神奇的是,當(dāng)你在周末開車駛向這個(gè)勝地,想象著甜甜圈和啤酒的時(shí)候,363英里的距離似乎一閃而過;而當(dāng)你返程時(shí),路途卻顯得那么遙遠(yuǎn)。蘋果的員工麗莎-杰克遜(LisaJackson)是一位令人驕傲的杜蘭大學(xué)校友。是。她把綠色浪潮一路帶到了庫(kù)比蒂諾,在那里她領(lǐng)導(dǎo)著我們的環(huán)境和公共政策工作。我們很高興她能在我們的隊(duì)伍中發(fā)揮才華和進(jìn)行領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。
OK, enough about us. Let's talk about you. At moments like this, it always humbles me to watch a community come together to teach, mentor, advise, and finally say with one voice, congratulations to the class of 20xx!
好了,別再提我們了。讓我們談?wù)勀銈。在這樣的時(shí)刻,看到一個(gè)社區(qū)聚集在一起傳道受業(yè)解惑,最后用一個(gè)聲音說,祝賀20xx年的同學(xué)們,這讓我感到很謙卑!
Now there's another very important group: your family and friends. The people who, more than anyone else, loved, supported, and even sacrificed greatly to help you reach this moment. Let's give them a round of applause. This will be my first piece of advice. You might not appreciate until much later in your life how much this moment means to them. Or how that bond of obligation, love, and duty between you matters more than anything else.
現(xiàn)在還有一個(gè)非常重要的群體:你們的家人和朋友。那些比任何人都更愛你們、更支持你們、甚至甘愿自我犧牲的人,為了幫助你們達(dá)到這一時(shí)刻,他們付出了巨大的代價(jià)。讓我們?yōu)樗麄児恼。這將是我的第一條建議。直到你生命的后期,你們才會(huì)意識(shí)到這一刻對(duì)他們來說有多么重要,或者意識(shí)到你們的義務(wù)、愛和責(zé)任有多么重要。
In fact, that's what I really want to talk to you about today. In a world where we obsessively document our own lives, most of us don't pay nearly enough attention to what we owe one another. Now this isn't just about calling your parents more, although I'm sure they'd be grateful if you did that. It's about recognizing that human civilization began when we realized that we could do more together. That the threats and danger outside the flickering firelight got smaller when we got bigger. And that we could create more - more prosperity, more beauty, more wisdom, and a better life - when we acknowledge certain shared truths and acted collectively.
事實(shí)上,這就是我今天真正想和你們說的。在一個(gè)我們沉迷于記錄自己生活的世界里,我們中的大多數(shù)人對(duì)我們彼此虧欠的東西沒有給予足夠的關(guān)注。這不僅僅是給你們的父母打更多的電話,盡管我相信如果你們會(huì)這么做,他們會(huì)很感激的。當(dāng)我們意識(shí)到我們可以在一起做更多的事情時(shí),人類文明就開始了。當(dāng)我們變得更越來越強(qiáng)大時(shí),在閃爍的火光之外的威脅和危險(xiǎn)就會(huì)變得越來越小。我們可以創(chuàng)造更多——更多的繁榮,更多的美,更多的智慧,更美好的生活——只要我們承認(rèn)某些共同的真理并采取集體行動(dòng)。
Maybe I'm biased, but I've always thought the South, and the Gulf Coast in particular, have hung on to this wisdom better than most. (Tim Cook grew up in Robertsdale, Alabama, which is about an hour from New Orleans and is similarly close to the Gulf of Mexico.) In this part of the country, your neighbors check up on you if they haven't heard from you in a while. Good news travels fast because your victories are their victories too. And you can't make it through someone's front door before they offer you a home-cooked meal.
也許我有偏見,但我一直認(rèn)為南方,特別是墨西哥灣海岸,比大多數(shù)人更能堅(jiān)持這一智慧。[庫(kù)克在阿拉巴馬州的羅伯茨代爾長(zhǎng)大,那里距離新奧爾良大約一個(gè)小時(shí)的路程,同樣靠近墨西哥灣。]在這個(gè)國(guó)家的這個(gè)地方,如果你們的鄰居有一段時(shí)間沒有你們的消息,他們會(huì)忍不住來看望你們。好消息傳得很快,因?yàn)槟銈兊膭倮彩撬麄兊膭倮T谒麄兲峁┮活D熱飯熱菜招待你們之前,你們是不可能走出大門的。
Maybe you haven't thought about it very much, but these values have informed your Tulane education too. Just look at the motto: not for one's self, but for one's own. You've been fortunate to live, learn, and grow in a city where human currents blend into something magical and unexpected. Where unmatched beauty, natural beauty, literary beauty, musical beauty, cultural beauty, seem to spring unexpectedly from the bayou. The people of New Orleans use two tools to build this city: the unlikely and the impossible. Wherever you go, don't forget the lessons of this place. Life will always find lots of ways to tell you no, that you can't, that you shouldn't, that you'd be better off if you didn't try. But New Orleans teaches us there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than trying. Especially when we do it not in the service of one's self, but one's own.
也許你們還沒有想太多,但這些價(jià)值觀也影響了你們杜蘭大學(xué)的教育?纯催@句座右銘:不是為了自己,而是為了自己人。你們很幸運(yùn)地生活、學(xué)習(xí)和成長(zhǎng)在一座城市里,在這個(gè)城市里,人類的潮流融合成了一種神奇的、意想不到的東西。在那里,無與倫比的美,自然的美,文學(xué)的美,音樂的美,文化的美,似乎不期而至地從河口涌出。新奧爾良的人們使用兩種工具來建造這座城市:不太可能的和不可能的。無論你走到哪里,都不要忘記這個(gè)地方的教訓(xùn)。生活總會(huì)找到很多方法來告訴你,不,你不能,你不應(yīng)該,如果你不去嘗試,你會(huì)過得更好。但是新奧爾良告訴我們,沒有什么比嘗試更美麗和更有價(jià)值了。尤其是當(dāng)我們這樣做不是為自己服務(wù),而是為自己人服務(wù)的時(shí)候。
For me, it was that search for greater purpose that brought me to Apple in the first place. I had a comfortable job at a company called Compaq that at the time looked like it was going to be on top forever. As it turns out, most of you are probably too young to even remember its name. But in 1998, Steve Jobs convinced me to leave Compaq behind to join a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. They made computers, but at that moment at least, people weren't interested in buying them. Steve had a plan to change things. And I wanted to be a part of it.
對(duì)我來說,正是為了追求更偉大的目標(biāo),我才第一次來到蘋果。我曾在一家叫康柏(Compaq)的公司找到了一份舒適的工作,在當(dāng)時(shí)看來,這份工作將永遠(yuǎn)是的工作。事實(shí)證明,你們中的大多數(shù)人可能還太年輕,甚至不記得它的名字。但在1998年,史蒂夫-喬布斯說服我離開康柏,加入一家瀕臨破產(chǎn)的蘋果公司。他們制造電腦,但至少在那一刻,人們對(duì)購(gòu)買這些電腦并不感興趣。史蒂夫有個(gè)改變一切的計(jì)劃。我也想成為其中的一員。
It wasn't just about the iMac, or the iPod, or everything that came after. It was about the values that brought these inventions to life. The idea that putting powerful tools in the hands of everyday people helps unleash creativity and move humanity forward. That we can build things that help us imagine a better world and then make it real.
這不僅僅是iMac,或者iPod,或者之后的一切,而是使這些發(fā)明創(chuàng)意復(fù)活的價(jià)值觀念。把強(qiáng)大的工具放在普通人手中將有助于釋放創(chuàng)造力和推動(dòng)人類向前發(fā)展。我們可以建造一些東西來幫助我們想象一個(gè)更美好的世界,然后讓它成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。
There's a saying that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. At Apple, I learned that's a total crock. You'll work harder than you ever thought possible, but the tools will feel light in your hands. As you go out into the world, don't waste time on problems that have been solved. Don't get hung up on what other people say is practical. Instead, steer your ship into the choppy seas. Look for the rough spots, the problems that seem too big, the complexities that other people are content to work around. It's in those places that you will find your purpose. It's there that you can make your greatest contribution. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of being too cautious. Don't assume that by staying put, the ground won't move beneath your feet. The status quo simply won't last. So get to work on building something better.
有句諺語(yǔ)說,如果你做你喜歡做的事,你的人生中將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)有一天是在工作。在蘋果公司,我知道了這是一個(gè)徹頭徹尾的謊言。你會(huì)比你想象的更努力工作,但你卻一點(diǎn)也不覺得費(fèi)勁。當(dāng)你走進(jìn)這個(gè)世界的時(shí)候,不要把時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在已經(jīng)解決的問題上。不要為別人所說的是實(shí)際的情況而心煩意亂。相反,引導(dǎo)你的船進(jìn)入波濤洶涌的大海。尋找那些蠻荒之地,那些看起來還很難解決的問題,那些其他人樂于解決的復(fù)雜問題。在那些地方,你會(huì)找到你的目標(biāo)。在那里你可以做出你的貢獻(xiàn)。無論你做什么,都不要犯太謹(jǐn)慎的錯(cuò)誤。不要以為原地不動(dòng),地面就不會(huì)在你腳下移動(dòng),F(xiàn)狀根本不會(huì)持久。所以開始做些更好的事吧。
In some important ways, my generation has failed you in this regard. We spent too much time debating. We've been too focused on the fight and not focused enough on progress. And you don't need to look far to find an example of that failure. Here today, in this very place, in an arena where thousands once found desperate shelter from a 100-year disaster, the kind that seem to be happening more and more frequently, I don't think we can talk about who we are as people and what we owe to one another without talking about climate change.
在某些重要的方面,我們這代人辜負(fù)了你們。我們花了太多時(shí)間辯論。我們一直太專注于斗爭(zhēng),而沒有把足夠的注意力放在進(jìn)步上。你不需要看太遠(yuǎn)就能找到失敗的例子。今天,就在這個(gè)地方,在這個(gè)成千上萬人曾經(jīng)絕望地躲避百年災(zāi)難的地方,這種災(zāi)難似乎變得越來越頻繁。我認(rèn)為,如果我們不談?wù)摎夂蜃兓,我們就無法談?wù)撐覀兪钦l(shuí),以及我們彼此虧欠了什么。
(applause) Thank you. Thank you.
謝謝!謝謝!
This problem doesn't get any easier based on whose side wins or loses an election. It's about who has won life's lottery and has the luxury of ignoring this issue and who stands to lose everything. The coastal communities, including some right here in Louisiana, that are already making plans to leave behind the places they've called home for generations and head for higher ground. The fishermen whose nets come up empty. The wildlife preserves with less wildlife to preserve. The marginalized, for whom a natural disaster can mean enduring poverty.
這個(gè)問題不會(huì)因?yàn)檎l(shuí)勝誰(shuí)負(fù)而變得簡(jiǎn)單,這是一個(gè)關(guān)乎誰(shuí)贏了人生彩票、誰(shuí)有忽視這個(gè)問題的能力、誰(shuí)會(huì)失去一切的問題。沿海社區(qū),包括路易斯安那州的一些社區(qū),已經(jīng)在計(jì)劃離開世代以來被稱為“家園”的地方,前往更海拔更高地方。如今漁民的漁網(wǎng)空空如也、野生動(dòng)物生計(jì)蕭條。對(duì)于生存在邊緣地區(qū)的人來說,自然災(zāi)害往往就意味著持久的貧困。
Just ask Tulane's own Molly Keogh, who's getting her Ph.D. this weekend. Her important new research shows that rising sea levels are devastating areas of Southern Louisiana more dramatically than anyone expected. Tulane graduates, these are people's homes. Their livelihoods. The land where their grandparents were born, lived, and died.
問問杜蘭大學(xué)的莫莉·基奧(Molly Keogh)就知道了,她這個(gè)周末就要拿到博士學(xué)位了。她的一項(xiàng)重要新研究表明,海平面上升對(duì)路易斯安那州南部地區(qū)造成的破壞比任何人預(yù)想的都要嚴(yán)重。杜蘭大學(xué)的畢業(yè)生們,這些地方都是人們的家園、他們的生計(jì)、他們祖父母出生、生活和去世的地方。
When we talk about climate change or any issue with human costs, and there are many, I challenge you to look for those who have the most to lose and find the real, true empathy that comes from something shared. That is really what we owe one another. When you do that, the political noise dies down, and you can feel your feet firmly planted on solid ground. After all, we don't build monuments to trolls, and we're not going to start now.
當(dāng)我們談?wù)摎夂蜃兓蛉魏闻c人類成本有關(guān)的問題時(shí),我有很多問題希望你們能夠著手去做:去尋找那些因此損失的人,并從一些共同的東西中找到真正的、真正的同理心,這才是我們真正虧欠彼此的東西。當(dāng)你這樣做的時(shí)候,政治上的喧囂就會(huì)平息下來,你會(huì)感到自己的腳牢牢地踩在了堅(jiān)實(shí)的土地上。畢竟,我們從來不為巨魔建造紀(jì)念碑,也不會(huì)現(xiàn)在開創(chuàng)這個(gè)先例。
If you find yourself spending more time fighting than getting to work, stop and ask yourself who benefits from all the chaos. There are some who would like you to believe that the only way that you can be strong is by bulldozing those who disagree or never giving them a chance to say their peace in the first place. That the only way you can build your own accomplishments is by tearing down the other side.
如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己花在斗爭(zhēng)上的時(shí)間比上班的時(shí)間還多。那么停下來,問問自己誰(shuí)能從所有這些混亂中受益。有些人想讓你相信,你能變得強(qiáng)大的方法,就是制服那些不同意你觀點(diǎn)的人,或者從一開始就不給他們機(jī)會(huì)表達(dá)自己的機(jī)會(huì)。他們想讓你相信,你能成就自己的方法就是摧毀對(duì)方。
We forget sometimes that our preexisting beliefs have their own force of gravity. Today, certain algorithms pull toward you the things you already know, believe, or like, and they push away everything else. Push back. It shouldn't be this way. But in 20xx, opening your eyes and seeing things in a new way can be a revolutionary act. Summon the courage not just to hear but to listen. Not just to act, but to act together.
我們有時(shí)會(huì)忘記,我們先前存在的信念有其自身的引力。今天,某些算法會(huì)把你已經(jīng)知道、相信或喜歡的東西主動(dòng)拉向你,而把其他的東西推開,但事情本不應(yīng)該如此。然而在20xx年,睜開眼睛、以一種全新方式看待事物可能是一種革命性的行為。你不僅要鼓起勇氣去聽,還要有勇氣去聽。不僅僅是行動(dòng),而是要一起行動(dòng)。
It can sometimes feel like the odds are stacked against you, that it isn't worth it, that the critics are too persistent and the problems are too great. But the solutions to our problems begin on a human scale with building a shared understanding of the work ahead and with undertaking it together. At the very least, we owe it to each other to try.
有時(shí)候你會(huì)覺得機(jī)會(huì)對(duì)你不利、覺得這么做不值得、覺得批評(píng)之聲太過頑固,亦或覺得問題太大(超出了自己的處理能力)。但是,解決我們當(dāng)下問題的辦法首先就是在人類范疇內(nèi)建立對(duì)今后工作的共同理解,并著手共同解決這一問題。至少,我們也應(yīng)該放手一搏。
It's worked before. In 1932, the American economy was in a free-fall. Twelve million people were unemployed, and conventional wisdom said the only thing to do was to ride it out, wait, and hope that things would turn around. But the governor of New York, a rising star named Franklin Roosevelt, refused to wait. He challenged the status quo and called for action. He needed people to stop their rosy thinking, face the facts, pull together, and help themselves out of a jam.
這樣的方式在之前曾成功過。1932年,當(dāng)時(shí)的美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)一落千丈,有1200萬人失業(yè)。傳統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為,我們能做的就是撐過這段時(shí)間、等待,并希望情況會(huì)有所好轉(zhuǎn)。但當(dāng)時(shí)政途冉冉升起的紐約州州長(zhǎng)富蘭克林o羅斯福(Franklin Roosevelt,后就任美國(guó)第32任總統(tǒng),美國(guó)歷連任超過兩屆的總統(tǒng))拒絕等待。他敢于挑戰(zhàn)現(xiàn)狀,呼吁采取行動(dòng)。他呼吁人們停止繼續(xù)抱有樂觀的想法,面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)、齊心協(xié)力,幫助自己擺脫困境。
He said: "The country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it and try another. But above all, try something."
他說:“這個(gè)國(guó)家需要一些大膽、持續(xù)的嘗試。采取一種方法并加以嘗試是再正常不過的事情。如果失敗了,我們就承認(rèn)失敗,然后再試一次。但最重要的是,我們需要嘗試一些東西!
This was a speech to college students fearful about their future in an uncertain world. He said: "Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world."
這是一場(chǎng)對(duì)大學(xué)生的演講,他們擔(dān)心自己在一個(gè)不確定世界里的未來。他(羅斯福)說:“你們的任務(wù)不是在世界上開辟自己的道路,而是改造世界。”
The audacious empathy of young people, the spirit that says we should live not just for ourselves, but for our own. That's the way forward. From climate change to immigration, from criminal justice reform to economic opportunity, be motivated by your duty to build a better world. Young people have changed the course of history time and time again. And now it's time to change it once more.
年輕人無畏的同情心告訴我們,我們不僅要為努力生活,而且要為自己而活。這是一條前進(jìn)的道路,從氣候變化到移民、從刑事司法改革到經(jīng)濟(jì)機(jī)遇,我們都要以建設(shè)一個(gè)更美好世界的責(zé)任為動(dòng)力。此前的年輕人一次又一次地改變了歷史的進(jìn)程,現(xiàn)在是時(shí)候再次改變了。
I know, I know the urgency of that truth is with you today. Feel big because no one can make you feel small. Feel brave because the challenges we face are great but you are greater. And feel grateful because someone sacrificed to make this moment possible for you. You have clear eyes and a long life to use them. And here in this stadium, I can feel your courage.
我知道,今天你們所接觸到真相帶來的緊迫性。大膽一些,因?yàn)闆]有人能讓你感到弱小。勇敢一些,因?yàn)槲覀兠媾R的挑戰(zhàn)是巨大的,但你們將更加偉大。懂得感恩,因?yàn)橐呀?jīng)有人為你們生活在的當(dāng)下做出了犧牲,讓這一刻成為可能。你們擁有一對(duì)清澈的眼睛,人生的道路也還很長(zhǎng)。在這個(gè)體育場(chǎng),我能感受到你們的勇氣。
Call upon your grit. Try something. You may succeed. You may fail. But make it your life's work to remake the world because there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than working to leave something better for humanity.
呼喚你的勇氣。嘗試,你可能會(huì)成功,也可能會(huì)失敗。但是,請(qǐng)讓改造世界成為你自己的人生工作,因?yàn)闆]有什么比為人類留下更好的東西更具價(jià)值。
Thank you very much, and congratulations class of 20xx!
非常感謝,祝賀20xx屆的畢業(yè)生們!
世界英語(yǔ)演講稿完整版 篇2
美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席伯克南普林斯頓大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮演講稿中英雙語(yǔ)對(duì)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(cuò),很難相信,我離開校園赴華盛頓已經(jīng)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(xué)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(xiàn)上對(duì)畢業(yè)生的最美好祝愿,首先我要恭喜在座的家長(zhǎng)們。作為父母,我知道這年頭供孩子讀完大學(xué)不容易,數(shù)年前,我的一個(gè)同事有3個(gè)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(cái)政角度講,這如同每年買輛卡迪拉克,然后讓車墜崖。他總會(huì)補(bǔ)充說,他會(huì)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(shí)是做畢業(yè)典禮演講的合適場(chǎng)合,我認(rèn)為,在這一講臺(tái)上,每個(gè)精神導(dǎo)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(gè)建議”,或稱為對(duì)這個(gè)世界和你們畢業(yè)后的生活的十個(gè)觀察。請(qǐng)注意,這十點(diǎn)與利率毫無關(guān)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(qǐng)外,理由和你們討厭的哥哥姐姐可以晚睡是一個(gè)道理:我比你們更老。以下內(nèi)容均經(jīng)受過生活的考驗(yàn),但以往表現(xiàn)并不能確保未來的結(jié)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(shí)難以預(yù)料,任何一個(gè)認(rèn)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?纯次野,12年前我一心教經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)入門課程,想著編造什么理由不參加教學(xué)會(huì)議,結(jié)果我接到了那個(gè)電話。有過你有機(jī)會(huì)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(duì)生活中哪些事滿意或不滿意,他們經(jīng)歷過的高潮和低谷。但我敢打賭,他們的人生故事將與預(yù)期相異。這是好事而不是壞事,誰(shuí)想在故事的開篇就知道結(jié)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(shí),意味著小的決定和行動(dòng)無足輕重,不需要規(guī)劃和奮斗呢?當(dāng)然不是。無論未來人生如何,她將是一個(gè)宏大和漫長(zhǎng)的項(xiàng)目,是你作為個(gè)人 的發(fā)展過程。你的家人、朋友和你在普林斯頓的時(shí)光已經(jīng)為你造就了良好的開端,未來你會(huì)如何?你會(huì)不斷學(xué)習(xí)、竭力思索、對(duì)至關(guān)重要的問題持批判態(tài)度嗎?你會(huì) 成為情感上更強(qiáng)大、更大度、更有愛心、更道德的人嗎?你會(huì)更積極的、更建設(shè)性的參與世事嗎?你的人生會(huì)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(huì)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(yùn)的人,他們?cè)诩彝ブС帧⒐膭?lì)上,或在收入上也是最幸運(yùn)的,他們?cè)诮逃吐殬I(yè)機(jī)遇 上最幸運(yùn),他們?cè)诤芏喾矫娑甲钚疫\(yùn),一般人難以復(fù)制。一個(gè)精英體制是否公平,要看這些精英是否有義務(wù)努力工作、致力于建設(shè)更好的世界,并與他人分享幸運(yùn)。
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(shuí)值得尊重?是那些充分利用其優(yōu)勢(shì),或勇敢面對(duì)逆境的人。我想我們會(huì)認(rèn)同,那些雖然接受的正式教育不多,但誠(chéng)實(shí)勞動(dòng)、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(shè)性行動(dòng)的更糟糕的替代品。當(dāng)然,利益、金錢和意識(shí)形態(tài)都有影響力,如你在政治課上所學(xué)。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(shí)候,這由他們的觀點(diǎn)和意識(shí)決定。在復(fù)雜及難于處理的問題上所犯的誠(chéng)實(shí)錯(cuò)誤,更是糟糕結(jié)果的主要原因,而非不良動(dòng)機(jī)。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(dòng)。公共服務(wù)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(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)是頗具詭辯性的思維領(lǐng)域,她在解釋決策者以往所犯錯(cuò)誤方面顯得很崇高,但在預(yù)測(cè)未來時(shí),則不僅如此。然而,謹(jǐn)慎的經(jīng)濟(jì)分析確有重要益處,她能去除那些不合邏輯或與數(shù)據(jù)不符的想法,這對(duì)90%的經(jīng)濟(jì)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(huì)告訴你們金錢無用,反正你們也不會(huì)聽的。事實(shí)上,對(duì)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(yùn)得有能力進(jìn)行抉擇的少數(shù)人,請(qǐng)記住,金錢只是途徑,而非最終目標(biāo)。職業(yè)選擇基于收入、而非熱愛,或做出貢獻(xiàn)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(xué)習(xí)的一部分。如果你衣衫整齊,你并沒有進(jìn)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(duì)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(shí),要記住外表美只是人類演變的一種方式,它使我們確信對(duì)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(guó)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(shí)需要考慮的事 情。你們將共同走過人生旅程,需要對(duì)方的支持和關(guān)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(shí)不時(shí)的給父母去個(gè)電話。早晚有一天,你希望自己長(zhǎng)大成人的、工作繁忙的、超級(jí)成功的孩子給你來個(gè)電話,再者,請(qǐng)記著誰(shuí)供養(yǎng)你上的大學(xué)。
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(diǎn)顏色看看。

Wang Leehom Speech @Berklee College of Music - YouTube
王力宏伯克利音樂學(xué)院演講
I don't know what to say. I didn't know that there would be a podium with a microphone. I thought I would just be singing songs. Not to downplay that, but ...
我不知說什么好了。我不知道這邊有一個(gè)帶麥克風(fēng)的講臺(tái)。我還以為只要唱幾首歌就好了。不是說那不重要。
Oh, my goodness, what an honor. I am just so humbled and excited to be here looking out at all of you.
哦,我的老天,多么大的一份榮譽(yù)。在這里看著大家,我既誠(chéng)惶誠(chéng)恐,又激動(dòng)萬分。
Being back here on campus is ... I feel so proud to have studied here. And ... that's 16 years ago, but ... I used to come to Symphony Hall every weekend and get those rush tickets, the student packs, and watch the Boston Symphony Orchestra perform as often as possible, often by myself.
重新回到這里真的是…我為自己曾在此學(xué)習(xí)過而感到自豪。已經(jīng)是16年前了,但是…我以前經(jīng)常一個(gè)人在周末來到交響樂大廳,搶一些所謂的“趕急票”,來欣賞波士頓交響樂團(tuán)的表演。
And it was one of the highlights of my time here at Berklee, so being here on stage is really unreal. Walking around on campus today was a testament to how far Berklee's come in the last 16 years. It is beautiful, the campus, the facilities. I was walking by the MP&E, the studios, the equipment, the fitness center. We didn't have any of these stuffs. So I guess you guys have been doing a pretty good job. So thank you, and congratulations to that. What a time for the East and West in music, in pop culture.
這是我在伯克利學(xué)習(xí)生活的眾多亮點(diǎn)之一了,所以能來到這個(gè)臺(tái)上實(shí)屬不易。今天我在校園漫步,感受到了母校在這16年間的變化之大。她太美了,無論是環(huán)境還是設(shè)施。我還路過MP&E,那些工作室,一些設(shè)施,對(duì)了還有一個(gè)健身中心。我們那會(huì)兒可沒有這玩意兒。所以校方的努力非常的棒,謝謝你們,也祝賀你們。這是一個(gè)東西方在音樂、流行文化中交流的偉大時(shí)代。
All of you, music lovers, future musicians, future professional musicians on the stage, and like what Roger just said, it's so important for us to be ambassadors, to be that bridge, to be ambassadors of peace, and breaking down the walls, bringing people together. Last night ... this is an issue that's so close in my heart, because last night in Los Angeles, my dear friend Jackie Chan was the first person ... first Chinese actor ever to win an Oscar, last night! I just want to thank all of you for being here, that's why we make music, is to connect with people.
在座的各位,無論你是音樂發(fā)燒友、未來的音樂人,還是未來專業(yè)的舞臺(tái)表演音樂家,就像Roger剛所說的,我們要成為大使,這一點(diǎn)非常重要。我們要成為溝通東西方的橋梁,成為和平的使者,我們要消除阻礙,把人和人連接起來。對(duì)了,跟大家說一件很激動(dòng)人心的事情,昨天晚上在洛杉磯,我的好朋友成龍大哥成為了第一個(gè)獲得奧斯卡小金人的中國(guó)演員,就在昨天晚上。真的感謝大家今天來到這兒,這也是讓我做音樂的原因—把人連接起來。
I've never written a song without loving it myself. So for all of you musicians, always follow your heart and always do what you love. I've definitely ... you know ... never convince yourself that what other people are telling you to do is right if you don't feel like it's right in your heart. As a musician, it just doesn't work.
我對(duì)我寫的每一首歌都很喜歡,沒有不喜歡的。所以,各位音樂人,請(qǐng)跟隨自己的心,做自己愛做的事。如果你內(nèi)心不認(rèn)可的事情,那么無論別人怎么說,你都別動(dòng)搖。作為一個(gè)音樂人,不這么做是行不通的。
So work like a bull, I guess ... and always have fun. And all the accolades don't mean anything without your friends and your family to share with. So Thank You to them as well for being here together, and always.
最后,像老黃牛一樣工作,并且保持快樂。另外,我還想說,如果你不能把這份快樂跟你的朋友、家人分享的話,那么所有的贊美都是沒有意義的。所以,我要感謝今天出席典禮的朋友和家人。

世界英語(yǔ)演講稿完整版 篇5
I tell you an experience of myself happened last week. lastthursday our school was tackling something about woking fou study. i wanted to have a try even though i knew the salary was so low and i had little chance,because the students who had the certificate were always thought to have priority to get the job.
fortunately i was called at noon and a teacher said to me that she wanted me to work for her and asked if i could change my mind. at that moment i was so excited that immediately i accepted her idea. but later on,she found me that im not a student,so i had little chance and suggest me to get one.
Then an idea occurred to me that i could call my father and ask him to send me the letter. at the same time i was told that i was admitted to the job and dont need the certificate. that time i forgot to remind my father,until the next day he called me that he had posted it and it would arrive in just one day. at that moment i was moved, and even moved into tears, because i knew my father was injured not long before,the process of helping me with the affairs was not so convenient for him. but he tried his best to help me.
sometimes we may complain about unsatisfying things around us,and blame them on our parents,sometimes theyll be angry with us, and sometimes we cant quite understand what they are thinking about. but on balance, almost every parent is selfless to his or her child. they are ready to offer everything to us when we are in bad situation. we used to sharing sorrow with them,but do not forget to share our happiness with them, perhaps they will be much happier than we are.
So from now on, lets care more about our parents and do not leave pity to them. thats what i want to tell you today.
thank you!

doctor is an other kind of artist who does human art by fighting with diseases and making people feel good. i think it is a pleasure to try my best to bring happiness to others. it is a feeling of pride and i am fond of it. in modern life, a mass of people work day and night to seek wealth and as a result they ignore their health. it is known that strong body is a foundation of beatific life. i dreamed to be an excellent doctor who can help them have a right to enjoy life again. curing people is a doctor's holy responsibility.
being a doctor is my dream job, now i should study hard to gain more knowledge to reach my goal.

Good afternoon, everyone,
The national student sports program, waged by the Ministry of Education and aimed at improving students health, was held from 10:00a.m.~11:00a.m.on April 29,2019 in many primary and middle schools all over China. Almost 11 million students in Jiangsu province participated in this program.
The Ministry of Education advocates that we do exercises for one hour a day and can work healthily for 50 years. Our whole life will be very enjoyable.
In my opinion, we senior high school students should do exercises for one hour a day even though our spare time is limited. Health is a basic condition for our study. If we did not do exercises, we wouldn’t be able to get good study records. So every one of you, join the program now!
Thank you!

Failure is a common thing in our daily life. There are times when we failto do satisfactory work. In short, failures happen naturally and almost everyonehas such experience.
However, there are different attitudes toward failure. Some people loseconfidence in failure. Some people dont take failure seriously and they just letit be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light ofhope through failure.
In my opinion, what really counts is not failure itself, but what we thinkof failure and do after failure. As long as we dont give up and believe inourselves, and in the meantime learn something from failure, well certainly makeour marks in this world in the end.

Every kid needs a champion
每個(gè)孩子都需要一個(gè)冠軍演講稿中英對(duì)照:
I have spent my entire life either at the schoolhouse, on the way to the schoolhouse, or talking about what happens in the schoolhouse. Both my parents were educators, my maternal grandparents were educators, and for the past 40 years I've done the same thing. And so, needless to say, over those years I've had a chance to look at education reform from a lot of
perspectives. Some of those reforms have been good. Some of them have been not so good. And we know why kids drop out. We know why kids don't learn. It's either poverty, low attendance, negative peer influences. We know why. But one of the things that we never discuss or we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human connection, relationships.
我這輩子,要么是在學(xué)校,要么在去學(xué)校的路上,要么是在討論學(xué)校里發(fā)生了什么事。我的父母都是教育家,我的外祖父母也都是搞教育的,過去40年我也在從事同樣的事業(yè)。所以,很顯然,過去的這些年里,我有機(jī)會(huì)從各個(gè)角度審視教育改革。一些改革是有成效的。而另一些卻收效甚微。我們知道孩子們?yōu)槭裁吹絷?duì)輟學(xué)。我們知道孩子們?yōu)槭裁磳W(xué)不下去。原因無非是貧窮,低出席率,同齡人的壞影響。我們知道為什么。但是我們從未討論或者極少討論的是人和人之間的那種聯(lián)系的價(jià)值和重要性,這就是“關(guān)系”。
James Comer says that no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship. George Washington Carver says all learning is understanding relationships. Everyone in this room has been affected by a teacher or an adult.
For years, I have watched people teach. I have looked at the best and I've look at some of the worst.
James Comer (美國(guó)著名兒童精神科醫(yī)師)說過,沒有強(qiáng)有力的聯(lián)系,學(xué)習(xí)就不會(huì)有顯著的進(jìn)步。 George Washington Carver(美國(guó)著名教育學(xué)家)說過,學(xué)習(xí)就是理解各種關(guān)系。在座的各位都曾經(jīng)被一位老師或者一個(gè)成年人影響過。這么多年,我都在看人們?cè)趺唇虒W(xué)。我看過最好的也看過最差的。
A colleague said to me one time, "They don't pay me to like the kids. They pay me to teach a lesson. The kids should learn it. I should teach it. They should learn it. Case closed."
一次有個(gè)同事跟我說, “我的職責(zé)不是喜歡那些孩子們。我的職責(zé)是教書。孩子們就該去學(xué)。我管教課,他們管學(xué)習(xí)。就是這么個(gè)理兒!
Well, I said to her, "You know, kids don't learn from people they don't like." 然后,我就跟她說, “你知道,孩子們可不跟他們討厭的人學(xué)習(xí)!
(Laughter) (Applause)
。ㄐβ暎ㄕ坡暎
She said, "That's just a bunch of hooey."
她接著說,“一派胡言!
And I said to her, "Well, your year is going to be long and arduous, dear." 然后我對(duì)她說,“那么,親愛的,你這一年會(huì)變得十分漫長(zhǎng)和痛苦!
Needless to say it was. Some people think that you can either have it in you to build a relationship or you don't. I think Stephen Covey had the right idea. He
said you ought to just throw in a few simple things, like seeking first to
understand as opposed to being understood, simple things like apologizing. You ever thought about thatTell a kid you're sorry, they're in shock.
事實(shí)也果真如此。有些人認(rèn)為一個(gè)人或者天生可以建立一種關(guān)系或者不具有這種能力。我認(rèn)為Stephen Covey(美國(guó)教育家)是對(duì)的。他說你只需要做一些簡(jiǎn)單的事情,比如試著首先理解他人,而不是想要被理解,比如道歉。你想過嗎?跟一個(gè)孩子說你很對(duì)不起,他們都驚呆了。
I taught a lesson once on ratios. I'm not real good with math, but I was working on it. And I got back and looked at that teacher edition. I'd taught the whole lesson wrong. (Laughter)
我有一次講比例。我數(shù)學(xué)不是很好,但是我當(dāng)時(shí)在教數(shù)學(xué)。然后我下了課,翻看了教師用書。我完全教錯(cuò)了。(笑聲)
So I came back to class the next day, and I said, "Look, guys, I need to apologize. I taught the whole lesson wrong. I'm so sorry."
所以我第二天回到班上說, “同學(xué)們,我要道歉。我昨天的課都教錯(cuò)了。我非常抱歉!
They said, "That's okay, Ms. Pierson. You were so excited, we just let you go." (Laughter) (Applause)
他們說,“沒關(guān)系,Pierson老師。你當(dāng)時(shí)教得非常投入,我們就讓你繼續(xù)了! (笑聲)(掌聲)
I have had classes that were so low, so academically deficient that I cried. I wondered, how am I going to take this group in nine months from where they
are to where they need to beAnd it was difficult. It was awfully hard. How do I raise the self-esteem of a child and his academic achievement at the same time
我曾經(jīng)教過程度非常低的班級(jí),學(xué)術(shù)素養(yǎng)差到我都哭了。我當(dāng)時(shí)就想,我怎么能在9個(gè)月之內(nèi)把這些孩子提升到他們必須具備的水平?這真的很難,太艱難了。我怎么能讓一個(gè)孩子重拾自信的同時(shí)他在學(xué)術(shù)上也有進(jìn)步?
One year I came up with a bright idea. I told all my students, "You were chosen to be in my class because I am the best teacher and you are the best students, they put us all together so we could show everybody else how to do it."
有一年我有了一個(gè)非常好的主意。我告訴我的學(xué)生們, “你們進(jìn)了我的班級(jí),因?yàn)槲沂亲詈玫睦蠋,而你們是最好的學(xué)生,他們把我們放在一起來給其他人做個(gè)好榜樣!
One of the students said, "Really" (Laughter)
一個(gè)學(xué)生說,“真的嗎?” (笑聲)
I said, "Really. We have to show the other classes how to do it, so when we walk down the hall, people will notice us, so you can't make noise. You just have to strut." And I gave them a saying to say: "I am somebody. I was
somebody when I came. I'll be a better somebody when I leave. I am powerful, and I am strong. I deserve the education that I get here. I have things to do, people to impress, and places to go."
我說,“當(dāng)然是真的。我們要給其他班級(jí)做個(gè)榜樣,當(dāng)我們走在樓道里,因?yàn)榇蠹叶紩?huì)注意到我們,我們不能吵鬧。大家要昂首闊步! 我還給了他們一個(gè)口號(hào):“我是個(gè)人物。我來的時(shí)候是個(gè)人物。我畢業(yè)的時(shí)候會(huì)變成一個(gè)更好的人物。我
很有力,很強(qiáng)大。我值得在這里受教育。我有很多事情要做,我要讓人們記住我,我要去很多地方!
And they said, "Yeah!"
然后他們說:“是啊!”
You say it long enough, it starts to be a part of you.
如果你長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的這么說,它就會(huì)開始變成事實(shí)。
And so — (Applause) I gave a quiz, 20 questions. A student missed 18. I put a "+2" on his paper and a big smiley face.
所以-(掌聲)我做了一個(gè)小測(cè)驗(yàn),20道題。一個(gè)孩子錯(cuò)了18道。我在他了卷子上寫了個(gè)“+2”和一個(gè)大的笑臉。
He said, "Ms. Pierson, is this an F"
他說,“Pierson老師,這是不及格嗎?”
I said, "Yes."
我說,“是的!

As a country that pays great attention to courtesy, our cuisine culture isdeep rooted in China''s history. As a visitor or guest in either a Chinese homeorrestaurant you will find that table manners are essential and the distinctivecourtesies displayed will invariably add to the enjoyment of your meals and keepyou in high spirits!
On the eighth day of the last month in the Chinese lunar calendar, peoplewill enjoy a nourishing porridge called ''La Ba Zhou''. In ancient times, monkswould kindly share all sorts of food grains with people and made them flavorfulporridge on this particular day. People still keep this convention.
In Central China, when a baby is born, the happy father will send redboiled eggs to announce the news. Eggs with a black pointed end and dots in aneven number such as six or eight, indicates a boy''s birth; those without ablack point and in an odd number like a five or seven will say the baby is agirl.

I have a dream today
hello everyone!
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
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.
Thank you!

Different people have various ambitions. Some want to be engineers or doctors in the future. Some want to be scientists or businessmen. Still some wish to be teachers or lawers when they grow up in the days to come.
Unlike other people, I prefer to be a farmer. However, it is not easy to be a farmer for Iwill be looked upon by others. Anyway,what I am trying to do is to make great contributions to agriculture. It is well known that farming is the basic of the country. Above all, farming is not only a challenge but also a good opportunity for the young. We can also make a big profit by growing vegetables and food in a scientific way. Besides we can apply what we have learned in school to farming. Thus our countryside will become more and more properous.
I believe that any man with knowledge can do whatever they can so long as this job can meet his or her interest. All the working position can provide him with a good chance to become a talent.

Dear teachers and students:
hello everyone!
Today, I am very honored to stand under the solemn national flag and speak for you. As the young generation in the new century, we are the hope of our motherland.
The future of our motherland will surely belong to us. As students, the first thing we should do is to love our school. How can a student who doesn't even love his own school love his own country? Loving school is a very specific and close action. The school provides us with a good learning environment. Teachers work hard to cultivate us. This is the cradle of our growth. As students, we have no reason not to love our school.
Every student should protect the image and honor of the school like loving his own eyes; We should sincerely respect our teachers. We should consciously protect every plant of the school, beautify the natural environment, create an elegant cultural environment, and make the school a real garden and paradise; We should also love each other like our brothers and sisters. Let's love and learn from each other and grow up happily together!
We should cherish our time, study hard, work hard, win the excellent results of each school section, and contribute our part to the motherland in the future, so as to repay the school that raised us and our beloved teachers!
Thank you!

Every instructor, every teacher, the classmate of everyone, good evening, today I lecture on the topic of the military training experience for everyone.
For military training, I have too many feelings, to almost can't express in words.
Some say military training, is the combination of self-comforting; Others say that military training is to the body. And I want to say: the military training is like a grindstone together, and we, is for grinding knife, after military training, I believe that every knife, will be more sharp, more shining. As before he left, my mother told me: if you can put the military training is over, I believe, again big difficulty, you will be able to overcome.
Military training taught me so much, such as how to cherish, how to respect, how to live, and, more importantly, how to adhere to.
In military training, we sit, we usually want to lie, and stood, and often want to sit, but when standing on one foot, we desire only the feet on the ground. But why don't we learn to content with a little? In standing up, think of all the hard standing on one foot, then stood get comfortable? And while you're sitting there, why don't want to think standing tired? As compared to sit is to enjoy? So, as long as we learn to cherish the present, will be more relaxed and happy, and this is the military training taught me.
I think, before the training, many of us are asked others to respect you? Referred to in the "others", it is possible that parents, teachers, or friends. However, if we thought about how to respect others? After military training, we know that when someone speaks to you, you don't listen to, that is not respect for others; Others deal with things in a very serious, but you are not serious, also is a kind of disrespect to others. This kind of don't respect in life there are too many. But more important is not this one. But let's see, military training before asking others to respect yourself, we have to learn how to respect others first.
About the students are the "only" in the home? Not this, not that, clothing to hand, foot. And the school military training, we what all must depend on oneself. Not only that, time constraints, more make us confusion. Morning exercises in the first time, have not wear socks, have no time to comb your hair, a mess of things, let everybody muscle weakness force jing but after experienced countless for the first time, we grew up, learned how to live. And these are our life after military training.
Military training, hone our will, let us thoroughly understand the "as long as kung fu deep, iron pestle ground into a needle", as the station JunZi, again not comfortable don't move, then oxygen cannot grasp, seconds as the sun, and when the instructor told us to stop, we found that their original can be insisted on. Then, in the heart secretly: starting today, stick to it, never lazy!
Military training, taught us a lot, tell us a lot of, this will let us study in later life, a lot.

Let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today. “Mum, I'm sorry, but I need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year.”
“Mum, it is my friend's birthday tomorrow, I must buy her a present.”
“Mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? ”
Take. Take. Take. The relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. I know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything I need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. I never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, “Will there be a time that you'll say you have taken enough from me? ”
Like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. We enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. We take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. We appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. As we tragically learned from last summer's floods. we cannot continue our carelessness.

About education
Education is very important nowadays in our society. In industrialized countries, jobs are very complex and people have to study for a long time and very often they should have training in computer technology.
Fifty years ago, our society was very different. Most people to have a job just needed a basic education.
Generally, people who have university studies have access to better jobs and better salaries. Moreover, they can often choose to work in something they like. I think that education is important because it can help people to have a better standard of life.

世界英語(yǔ)演講稿完整版 篇25
well, welcome to the white house,everybody. and that was one of the best introductions i’ve ever had. (applause.) so we’re so proud of kiara for the introduction and for sharing yourstory, and you’re just so poised. and iknow geoff canada is just out there all excited -- (laughter) -- and proud, andi know your mom is proud. i know she is. she should be.
kiara and the rest of these youngpeople grew up in a 97-square-block section of harlem. it’s a place where the odds used to bestacked against them every single day, even just graduating from high schoolwas a challenge. but with the help ofsome very dedicated adults and a program called the harlem children’s zone,they’re right on track to go to college. together, students, teachers, administrators, parents, community, they’rechanging the odds in this neighborhood. and that’s what we’re here to talk about today -– changing the odds forevery american child so that no matter who they are, no matter where they areborn, they have a chance to succeed in today’s economy.
now, the good news is that,thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of the american people all across thecountry over the last five years, our economy has grown stronger. our businesses have now created more than 8million new jobs since the depths of the recession. our manufacturing, our housing sectors arerebounding. our energy and technologyand auto industries are booming. we’vegot to keep our economy growing. we’vegot to make sure that everybody is sharing in that growth. we’ve got to keep creating jobs, and then we’vegot to make sure that wages and benefits are such that families can rebuild alittle bit of security. we’ve got tomake sure this recovery, which is real, leaves nobody behind. and that’s going to be my focus throughoutthe year.
this is going to be a year ofaction. that’s what the american peopleexpect, and they’re ready and willing to pitch in and help. this is not just a job for government; thisis a job for everybody.
working people are looking forthe kind of stable, secure jobs that too often went overseas in the past coupleof decades. so next week, i’ll join companies and colleges and take action toboost high-tech manufacturing -- the kind that attracts good new jobs and helpsgrow a middle class. business owners areready to play their part to hire more workers. so this month, i’m going to host ceos here at the white house not once,but twice: first to lay out specificsteps we can take to help more workers earn the skills that they need for today’snew jobs; second, they’re going to announce commitments that we’re making toput more of the long-term unemployed back to work.
and on january 28th, in my stateof the union address -- which i want all the legislators here to know i’m goingto try to keep a little shorter than usual -- (laughter) -- they’re cheeringsilently -- (laughter) -- i will mobilize the country around the nationalmission of making sure our economy offers every american who works hard a fairshot at success. anybody in this countrywho works hard should have a fair shot at success, period. it doesn’t matter where they come from, whatregion of the country, what they look like, what their last name is -- theyshould be able to succeed.
and obviously we’re coming off ofa rancorous political year, but i genuinely believe that this is not a partisanissue. because when you talk to the american people, you know that there arepeople working in soup kitchens, and people who are mentoring, and people whoare starting small businesses and hiring their neighbors, and very rarely arethey checking are they democrat or republican. there’s a sense of neighborliness that’s inherent in the american people-- we just have to tap into that.
and i’ve been very happy to seethat there are republicans like rand paul, who’s here today, who are ready toengage in this debate. that’s a goodthing. we’ve got democratic andrepublican elected officials across the country who are ready to roll up theirsleeves and get to work. and this shouldbe a challenge that unites us all.
i don’t care whether the ideasare democrat or republican. i do carethat they work. i do care that they aresubject to evaluation, and we can see if we are using tax dollars in a certainway, if we’re starting a certain program, i want to make sure that young peoplelike kiara are actually benefiting from them.
now, it’s one thing to say weshould help more americans get ahead, but talk is cheap. we’ve got to actually make sure that we doit. and i will work with anybody who’swilling to lay out some concrete ideas to create jobs, help more middle-classfamilies find security in today’s economy, and offer new ladders of opportunityfor folks to climb into the middle class.
and, personally, i hope we startby listening to the majority of the american people and restoring theunemployment insurance for americans who need a little help supporting theirfamilies while they look for a new job. and i’m glad the republicans and democrats in the senate are workingtogether to extend that lifeline. i hopetheir colleagues in the house will join them to set this right.
today i want to talk aboutsomething very particular, a specific example of how we can make adifference. we are here with leaders whoare determined to change the odds in their communities the way these kids andtheir parents and dedicated citizens have changed the odds in harlem. it’s now been 50 years since presidentjohnson declared an unconditional war on poverty in america. and that groundbreaking effort created newavenues of opportunity for generations of americans. it strengthened our safety net for workingfamilies and seniors, americans with disabilities and the poor, so that when wefall -- and you never know what life brings you -- we can bounce backfaster. it made us a better country anda stronger country.
in a speech 50 years ago,president johnson talked about communities “on the outskirts ofhope where opportunitywas hard to come by.” well, today’seconomic challenges are differentbut they’ve still resulted in communitieswhere in recent decades wrenching economic changehas made opportunity harderand harder to come by. there arecommunities where for toomany young people it feels like their future onlyextends to the next street corner or theoutskirts of town, too manycommunities where no matter how hard you work, your destinyfeels like it’salready been determined for you before you took that first step.
i’m not just talking aboutpockets of poverty in our inner cities. that’s the stereotype.i’mtalking about suburban neighborhoods that have been hammered by the housingcrisis. i’mtalking about manufacturingtowns that still haven’t recovered after the local plant shut downand jobsdried up. there are islands of ruralamerica where jobs are scarce -- they were scarceeven before the recession hit-- so that young people feel like if they want to actually succeed,they’ve gotto leave town, they’ve got to leave their communities.
and i’ve seen this personallyeven before i got into politics. infact, this is what drove meinto politics. i was just two years out of college when i first moved to the south sideof chicago.i was hired by a group ofchurches to help organize a community that had been devastatedwhen the localsteel plants closed their doors. and i’dwalk through neighborhoods filled up withboarded-up houses and crumblingschools, and single parents and dads who had nothing to dowith their kids, andkids who were hanging out on the street corners without any hope orprospectsfor the future.
but these churches cametogether. and then they started workingwith other non-profits andlocal businesses. and the government -- local, state and federal -- participated. and we startedgetting some things done thatgave people hope. and that experiencetaught me thatgovernment does not have all the answers -- no amount of moneycan take the place of a lovingparent in a child’s life. but i did learn that when communities andgovernments and businessesand not-for-profits work together, we can make adifference. kiara is proof -- all theseyoungpeople are proof we can make a difference.
for the last 17 years, the harlemchildren’s zone -- the brainchild of geoffrey canada, who’shere today -- hasproven we can make a difference. and itoperated on a basic premise that eachchild will do better if all the childrenaround them are doing better. so in harlem,staff membersgo door to door and they recruit soon-to-be parents for “babycollege,” preparing them forthose crucial first few months of life; makingsure that they understand how to talk to theirchild and read to their child,and sometimes working with parents to teach them how to read sothey can readto their child and give them the healthy start that they need.
and then, early childhoodeducation to get kids learning at four years old. and then acharter school that help studentssucceed all the way through high school. and medical careand healthy foods that are available close tohome. and exercise. i was very pleased to hearthat -- michellewas very pleased to hear that -- (laughter) -- that they’ve got a strong physedprogram. and then students gettinghelp finding internships and applying to college, and anoutstanding, dedicatedstaff that tries to make sure that nobody slips through the cracks orfallsbehind.
and this is an incredibleachievement, and the results have been tremendous. today,preschool students in the harlemchildren’s zone are better prepared for kindergarten. lastyear, a study found that students whowin a spot in one of the charter schools score higher onstandardized teststhan those who don’t. in a neighborhood where higher education was oncejustsomething that other people did, you’ve got hundreds of kids who’ve now gone tocollege.
and harlem is not the onlycommunity that’s found success taking on these challengestogether. in cincinnati, a focus on education hashelped to make sure more kids are ready forkindergarten. in nashville, they’ve redesigned high schoolsand boosted graduation rates byalmost 20 percent over the past 12 years. in milwaukee, they’ve cut teen pregnancy inhalf.
every community is different,with different needs and different approaches. butcommunities that are making the most progress on these issues havesome things in common.they don’t lookfor a single silver bullet; instead they bring together local governmentandnonprofits and businesses and teachers and parents around a shared goal. that’s whatgeoffrey did when he started theharlem children’s zone. government wasinvolved -- so don’tbe confused here, it has an important role to play. and already there are governmentresourcesgoing into these communities. but it’simportant that our faith institutions and ourbusinesses and the parents andthe communities themselves are involved in designing andthinking through howdo we move forward.
and the second thing is they’reholding themselves accountable by delivering measurableresults. we don’t fund things, we don’t start projectsjust for the sake of starting them.they’vegot to work. if they don’t work weshould try something else. and sometimesthose of uswho care deeply about advancing opportunity aren’t willing tosubject some of theseprograms to that test: do they work?
in my state of the union addresslast year, i announced our commitment to identifymore communities like these-- urban, rural, tribal -- where dedicated citizens aredetermined to make adifference and turn things around. andwe challenged them. we said ifyou candemonstrate the ability and the will to launch an all-encompassing,all-hands-on-deckapproach to reducing poverty and expanding opportunity, we’llhelp you get the resourcesto do it. we’lltake resources from some of the programs that we’re already doingandconcentrate them. we’ll make sure thatour agencies are working together more effectively.we’ll put in talent to help you plan. but we’re also going to hold you accountableand measureyour progress.

讓游戲閃亮你的英語(yǔ)課堂
游戲在英語(yǔ)課堂上的重要性都快比得上水之于魚了,很難想象一堂課上,如果沒有了游戲,該怎么繼續(xù)。不論高年級(jí)還是低年級(jí),在游戲中學(xué)習(xí)都是一種十分有效的學(xué)習(xí)方式。低年級(jí)學(xué)生好動(dòng)又好勝,游戲能讓他們?cè)趧?dòng)身體的同時(shí)動(dòng)腦,并且享受成功的喜悅。高年級(jí)的課堂相對(duì)而言比較乏味,適時(shí)的游戲會(huì)是絕佳的作料。好的游戲能讓一堂沉悶的英語(yǔ)課活躍起來,是學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的興奮的藥劑。
一、游戲的安排應(yīng)講究一個(gè)“適”字,適時(shí)、適式、適度。
。ㄒ唬┻m時(shí)組織游戲
看準(zhǔn)時(shí)機(jī),針對(duì)學(xué)生的實(shí)際安排合適的游戲形式。
1.讓學(xué)生從思想上盡快進(jìn)入英語(yǔ)課堂,游戲?qū)胧莻(gè)相當(dāng)快捷、有效的方法。我們可以安排listen and do,listen and point,look and say,flash and say等操作簡(jiǎn)單,但具有檢查性質(zhì)的游戲。學(xué)生在玩游戲的同時(shí),復(fù)習(xí)了舊知識(shí),情感上也得到了體驗(yàn)。而從這些舊知識(shí)的復(fù)習(xí),我們可以自然過渡到新知識(shí)的傳授,溫故知新,以舊帶新,一舉兩得。
2.在復(fù)習(xí)鞏固階段,最忌諱的是機(jī)械操練。游戲能使復(fù)習(xí)變得生動(dòng)。比如我們學(xué)了一系列水果以后,安排老師拿一個(gè)水果,學(xué)生說出來的環(huán)節(jié),但反復(fù)幾次之后,學(xué)生的積極性就會(huì)減弱。這時(shí),我們安排游戲Who is missing?Who is fast?Magic eyes等,學(xué)生的積極性就會(huì)立刻恢復(fù),一只只小手又會(huì)爭(zhēng)先恐后地舉
起。
3.當(dāng)學(xué)生的臉上閃過“無聊”、“困惑”的痕跡時(shí),游戲可解“燃眉之急”。高年級(jí)的學(xué)生面臨背單詞、記單詞的難題。如果不講究方法地死記硬背,不但效果不好,學(xué)生的興趣也會(huì)逐漸降低。在這個(gè)階段,如果能幫助他們掌握正確的方法,促使他們主動(dòng)背單詞,就會(huì)對(duì)他們以后的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)有很大的幫助。單詞接龍、吊死鬼、尋找共同點(diǎn)等游戲,不僅讓學(xué)生始終處于積極思考的狀態(tài),而且能提高他們課后記單詞的興趣。
(二)適式組織游戲
有些游戲的可用性很強(qiáng),如copy不走樣等游戲,無論什么內(nèi)容,都能套用。但有些游戲,卻不是什么內(nèi)容都合適的。教師要學(xué)會(huì)使用最恰當(dāng)?shù)挠螒颍鏵lash and guess這樣的游戲僅適合單詞教學(xué),而不適合鞏固句型。
不同年齡階段的學(xué)生,對(duì)游戲的口味也不同,我們要學(xué)會(huì)投其所好。低年級(jí)的學(xué)生喜歡趣味性強(qiáng)的,如copy不走樣,high voice and low voice能引起他們參與的欲望。而高年級(jí)的學(xué)生則喜歡探索型的游戲,比如bingo、加減運(yùn)算對(duì)抗賽就很受他們的歡迎。
(三)適度組織游戲
在教學(xué)中,我們不能只為讓學(xué)生放松、玩樂而安排游戲,歸根結(jié)底,游戲是為教學(xué)服務(wù)的。在游戲活動(dòng)之前,我們必須指定相應(yīng)的規(guī)則,沒有規(guī)則,游戲過程就會(huì)很“亂”,有規(guī)則才能“活而
有序”。當(dāng)學(xué)生的“玩性”到五、六成的時(shí)候,我們的游戲就該結(jié)束了。因?yàn)槿绻螒蚪Y(jié)束太早,學(xué)生才剛進(jìn)入游戲狀態(tài),熟悉游戲規(guī)則,就結(jié)束游戲,一來掃興,二來游戲的“運(yùn)用語(yǔ)言”的目的也沒達(dá)到。如果游戲結(jié)束得太晚,學(xué)生就會(huì)越來越無聊,下次再玩這類游戲就沒有了熱情。
二、游戲的組織,還要講究一個(gè)“變”字——以不變應(yīng)萬變。
。ㄒ唬┣稍O(shè)陷阱
同一個(gè)游戲“發(fā)口令,做動(dòng)作”,一般都是教師怎么發(fā),學(xué)生怎么做,最多讓一個(gè)學(xué)生發(fā),其他學(xué)生做,偶爾做做反口令,分組進(jìn)行比賽。做多了,學(xué)生的好奇心沒有了,游戲就變成了機(jī)械操練。如果設(shè)幾個(gè)陷阱,就會(huì)有“眼睛一眨,老母雞變鴨”的效果。趣味性的調(diào)節(jié)就是教師在做動(dòng)作的時(shí)候,可以先慢慢地好像在做“坐下”的動(dòng)作,眼神一定要是那種壞壞的,然后突然變成“起立”,讓學(xué)生產(chǎn)生和教師斗下去的欲望。師生成了“敵人”,而游戲就成了“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)”。把動(dòng)作和語(yǔ)言結(jié)合起來,邊做動(dòng)作邊說,動(dòng)作和口令有時(shí)一致,有時(shí)不一致。在訓(xùn)練學(xué)生對(duì)所學(xué)知識(shí)掌握的同時(shí),還訓(xùn)練了學(xué)生的反應(yīng)能力。
。ǘ┳儞Q速度
隨著學(xué)生對(duì)知識(shí)的掌握逐漸加深,訓(xùn)練的速度可以逐漸加快,這不但適合學(xué)習(xí)的規(guī)律,還使原本枯燥的操練重新顯出生氣,學(xué)生逐漸淡化的新奇感又被激起。
。ㄈ┆(jiǎng)勵(lì)機(jī)制的運(yùn)用
在教育中,我們能體會(huì)到表?yè)P(yáng)和激勵(lì)對(duì)學(xué)生起的作用比批評(píng)更大。在老師的激勵(lì)下,學(xué)生的探索精神更易發(fā)揮,更容易學(xué)會(huì)原本以為很難學(xué)的東西。我常常采用口頭表?yè)P(yáng),認(rèn)為給學(xué)生物質(zhì)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)會(huì)使他們變得功利,但在同事們的感染下,偶爾嘗試獎(jiǎng)勵(lì),也取得了很好的激勵(lì)效果。我用小五星激勵(lì)學(xué)生,常常搞得自己整個(gè)黃昏剪五角星,有時(shí),一節(jié)課獎(jiǎng)多了,自己還有點(diǎn)心疼,最重要的是用多了學(xué)生還不稀罕了。其實(shí)我們可以嘗試用加分的方法,注意分值有區(qū)別,加分要敏感,時(shí)時(shí)注意給學(xué)生以表?yè)P(yáng),讓學(xué)生得到認(rèn)可。這樣一來,不但讓自己得到解脫,更使獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)更具可變性。
(四)以人為本
教育的對(duì)象是人,所以教育應(yīng)當(dāng)以人為本。在游戲中,教師的神態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)、眼神、動(dòng)作是十分重要的,教師要用主持人一般的激情,讓每個(gè)學(xué)生都感覺到老師的召喚。我相信教師只有投入情感,學(xué)生才會(huì)給予相應(yīng)的回報(bào)。
當(dāng)我們感到教學(xué)有一絲疲倦的時(shí)候,一個(gè)小游戲會(huì)趕走疲倦,讓我們放松那根緊繃的弦,重新振作精神。當(dāng)我們感到教學(xué)有一點(diǎn)枯燥的時(shí)候,一個(gè)小游戲會(huì)把歡笑帶來,當(dāng)笑聲充滿教室時(shí),我們的心也跟著飛舞。當(dāng)我們感到教學(xué)有些沉悶的時(shí)候,一個(gè)小游戲讓我們的腦袋重新思考,手腦并用,邊玩樂邊學(xué)習(xí)。小學(xué)英語(yǔ)課堂里的游戲魅力無窮。

Dear every leader, dear teacher class:
Rice lu said: "attitude is everything". Good, rigorous earnest attitude is the guarantee of success, the learning attitude, strict discipline concept, to be successful in our studies. Some students take learning as a burden, even is a kind of in order to complete tasks, parents, teachers and this attitude is very passive. Holding such an attitude to learn, results will be negligible. In this case, as a kind of attitude to treat study, take learning as a pleasure. When solve the problem, in a satisfactory result, we are not happy? So, everyone should learn to adjust their own learning attitude, full attention to each course, each class, it will be a huge boost to learn. We have to do to win without pride and lose with grace, dont be a slave of learning, but to be a good master of learning.
Lao tzu once said: "the world is difficult to do in easy; world affairs, will do fine", it pointed out the incisive want to accomplish something, must start from the simple things, from the perspective of the subtleties. Ask and Wang Zhong in his the author also puts forward the detail decides success or failure of the same point of view. With all my heart desire, the pursuit of great great, great but no trace; Willing to insipid, done every detail seriously, great but unexpectedly. This is the charm of the details. The value of a man is not measured in quantity but in the depth of his, the common characteristics of successful people, is can do small things, to capture some of the details of life. Similarly, in the study, we also want to learn to pay attention to detail, pay attention to the study method of control the careful and meticulous in usual, dont leave out any knowledge points. In class, pay attention to the teachers explanation, and record the key knowledge consciously notes; After the class, finish the homework carefully, understand each subject, should try to spend some time to review the knowledge they learned in class. Before exams ahead of time to review work, remembers important knowledge point according to the requirement of the teacher, must be careful when answering question clear question, after checking carefully. So that learning strategy can make us can learn more freely, and to cope with the exam.
In half a month or so, we will usher in the final exam. I hope everyone can understand the "attitude decides everything, detail decides success or failure", the meaning and significance of study harder from now on, strive for greater breakthrough in the examination.

My opinion on copying others' homework
It is konwn to us all that some students copy others' homework,their reasons are as below:first of all,the homework is too much and always difficult;the second,they are not intrested in the lessons;and the third,the aim of finishing their homework is to please the teacher.
In my opinion,copying others' homework is not good,because it's against the rules of the school.We should be honest and work hard to get high scores.If we have difficulties,we can even ask the teacher or our classmates for their help.

I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of Americas leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.
We have a place, all of us, in a long story -- a story we continue, but whose end we will not see.It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.
It is the American story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.
The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.
Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.
Through much of the last century, Americas faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.
Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.
While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country.The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth.And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.
We do not accept this, and we will not allow it.Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation.And this is my solemn

Have you ever bought any food on the train? And do you ask for the receiptafter buying it? Nowadays, all trains in China provide its passengers withreceipts for commodities, but 7 years ago, things were quite different.
On 13th of October, 20__, the train T109 from Beijing to Shanghai wasspeeding on the railway. A graduate student bought a sausage at 1 yuan on thetrain, then asked for a receipt.
“Are you kidding? It’s just one yuan!” The crew member was surprised.
The student, however, answered in a determined voice, “I paid the money, soI deserve the receipt.”
“But we never give receipts on the train.’ As a result, his further requestwas turned down by a cold shoulder.
Several days later, the student sued the National Railway Ministry, for notproviding receipts for passengers.
To his dismay, the court turned down the case for lack of evidence. But he,who majored in law at that time, believed law as a most powerful weapon, so hedid not give up. Instead, he began his journey of collecting first-hand evidenceby taking trains and buying commodities aboard. When his classmates were playingsoccer, he was taking the train; When his classmates were buying food atMcdonald’s, he was buying food on the train; When his classmates were askinggirls out, he was asking for the receipts. As he joked, ‘I was either taking thetrain or on the way to take the train.’
One month later, he appeared in the court again, with newly-collectedevidence and a stronger confidence. And I guess, ladies and gentlemen, you willall cheer for the result because this time, the student won the case. Very soon,a regulation about receipts on the train came out. And whatever we buy on thetrain now, there’s a receipt for us.
Outside the court, the student was asked, “How do you make it to the end?”He said, “As a law student, I root my faith in law. I believe that law is there,to protect every person with no exception, and to ensure every person has asay.”
His words spread a strong faith in law, which is not only a doctrine of alaw student, but also a belief that all citizens ought to hold. It is this faiththat initiates the student to resort to law for a tiny issue; it is this faiththat supports him to endure all the exhausting trips when collecting evidence;It is this faith that makes a seemingly “ridiculous” receipt request legal andrightful. It is this faith that helps to change our life, enhance our judicialsystem and bring social justice.
To many, a receipt of 1 yuan is too small to mention, however rights are tobe respected and law is to be believed in. It all starts with a tiny receipt of1 yuan, but we get a monumental case, a new regulation and a bumper harvest insocial justice. The bridge that leads a tiny start to a bumper harvest is faith,the faith in law, rightful and strong.

good evening , ladies and gentlemen . i am joy and glad to give you aspeech about stress , yes , just the topic you see on the screen.
psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problemof living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , andquickened pace of life .
statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life . financialproblems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults nowsuffering . as students in the university , we are also under our special stress. while study , having to take various tests and submit a project against adeadline may put a great pressure on us . and the things make us felt stressedmay be our parents’s greater expectations on us than we could reach . later ,when we are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us . ithink we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and howwe can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .
the chief problem we should face to is our atitude towards stress .peopleusually say they can not live in the sun except they escape from stress . it’sunwelcome ! yes , however , very necessary . just image a world where stressdoes not exist and people lead their life in a very comfortable way . but isthis kind of living condition as perfect as we hope ? without stress , they mayfeel very satisfied with the current life but lack of power to discover newthings . too much satisfaction result in nothing except a countermarch of thesociety . no stress , no development . so a certain amount of stress is good .it can stimulate us and increase our level of alertness .
and our answer to stress is another vital problem . how to do withourselves when stress suddenly break into our life ? to wave the white flag andadmit our unability , to give up to our ideality , or worstly , just to suicideas to put an end to everything … of cause not . the principle is to tackle withstress gentlely and harmoniously. we should try our best to release ourselves .such as to do some exercise , to linsen to traditional chinese music orclassical music to ease our minds and to learn to view these changes of life aschallenges .it’s no use crying over spilt milk . only to accept what hashappened can solve the problem .
ok , i think i was under large stress 3 minutes before , but now i am hereand have finished my speech . here is the last thing i want to add to my topic,face to it 英語(yǔ)演講稿范文2
istinguished judges, teachers, dear friends:
Hello, everyone! My name is cheng xiang yan , I am a junior student comefrom life science institution .Today, I am very glad to stand here and sharewith you my most sincere speech‘Flying youth, master our future!’
Life is a process of growing up. Saying goodbye to childhood, we step intoanother important time of life in the pace of young, facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....
However, who can really say what the youth is ? A period of time? Abelief?An attitude to life? Or anything else? actually, everyone has hisownunderstanding of young, it is a period of time of beauty and wonders, onlyafter you have experienced the sour , sweet ,bitter and salty, can you reallybecome a person of significance.
Just like A famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song ,where nothing isimpossible ,youth is a meaningful book, you’ll be never bored of it ;youth is arapid river ,it keeps on flowing day and night ;youth is a cup of tea ,it showsyou different kinds of tastes in your life.
As youth is so precious, of course, we must treasure it .Don’t let thelimited time pass by, grasping the young will means a better time is waiting foryou in the near future.
So,It’s necessary for us to prepare ourselves well for the future to come.having a view on those great men in the history of hunman being, they all madefull use of their youth time to do things that are useful to society, to thewhole mankind, and as a consequence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone. so do something in the time of young, although you may notget achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole world, just foryoueself, for those around! So, what should we do when we are young? Here,I’llpoint out some tips to help equip ourselves.
First of all,think of what you’d like to be some day. A teacher ? A doctor? A writer? Don’t afraid of dreaming of big and great .Since you are young , youcan dream of doing anything and becoming anyone in the future. What’s more ,never ignore the power of knowledge. Read more books and travel around. For onething, it can increase your knowledge, for another, it’ll broaden yourhorizon.
Last but not the least , stick to your dream. It easier said than done.After all, future is not all roses. young is just like blooming flowers, theyare so beautiful when blooming, which make people feel happy, but with timepassing by, after they withers ,most people think they are ugly. and so it isthe same with young, we are enthusiastic when we are young, then we may lose ourpassion when getting older and older. So we should have enough courage anddetermination to overcome all the difficulties in struggling on the road.
I firmly believe one sentence that‘If you think you can, of course youcan!’Just believe we can make it! Keep on walking towards our dream. Flyingyouth , master our future. From today, from now on , are you Ready ? That’s all.Thank you so much for your attention !
