英語(yǔ)優(yōu)秀演講稿：感激
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges and distinguished guest! This is Alex time! Ha-ha…My topic today is to show our gratitude to people around you.
Then what is gratitude? At the moment a well-known song comes into my mind. Yes, that is called Heart of feel grateful. My heart is filled up with gratitude because I’m with you/Your make me courageous to be myself from cradle to the grave/So now I wanna thank for destiny/I’ll cherish the flower when it blooms until falls. The poetic lyric tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind.
Once upon a time, the Pilgrims took the May Flower Ship to North America. They started a new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they encountered. After a long-time work, they got a big harvest. The Pilgrims had a feast in 1621 near Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is often referred to as the first Thanksgiving. People show their sincere gratitude towards the God, the nature, the earth, the river, the Indians and themselves.
How can we express our gratitude? It’s never a simple question to answer. Gratitude is a rare jewel, not a piece of cake, I know. But how can we expect such big events happening now and then? How can we be ready to say thank you ahead of time? How can we always hope to be grateful to everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity? Sometimes I may ask to myself. Is it moral? Is it honest? Is it beneficial? Is it necessary? Or the most interesting one, is it ridiculous? Ha-ha…So in my opinion, we’d better concentrate on our life’s details.
At last, what’s the significance of showing our gratitude? A proverb says that Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Wow! Until now I am not that kind of giant, but I dare to say that everyone, you and me, has the right and the duty to show our gratitude to the world, no matter rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old. Only by doing so can we achieve our human ultimate concern. Meanwhile it obviously helps to build up a harmonious society.
All in all, a world full of gratitude is preciously expected for thousands of years. Why not show our gratitude to people around you?
Thank you very much!

晚上好，女士們，先生們，尊敬的法官和貴賓!這是亞歷克斯時(shí)間!哈哈，我今天的主題是向你們周圍的人們表達(dá)我們的感激之情。
那么感恩是什么?此刻，一首著名的歌曲進(jìn)入我的腦海。是的，那叫做感恩的心。我的心充滿感激，因?yàn)槲液湍?你讓我勇敢地從搖籃到墳?zāi)�，所以現(xiàn)在我要感謝命運(yùn)/我會(huì)珍惜花開(kāi)時(shí)，直到秋天。詩(shī)意的抒情告訴我們感恩其實(shí)是一種心態(tài)。
從前，朝圣者乘坐五月花船去美國(guó)北部。他們?cè)谀抢镩_(kāi)始了新的生活盡管遇到了許多困難和困難。經(jīng)過(guò)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的工作，他們獲得了大豐收。朝圣者們?cè)谄绽┧垢浇?621個(gè)地方舉行了一次宴會(huì)，這是通常被稱為第一次的感恩節(jié)，即在公元前年。人們對(duì)上帝、自然、大地、河流、印第安人和他們自己表示由衷的感激。
我們?cè)鯓硬拍鼙磉_(dá)我們的感激之情?這不是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的問(wèn)題來(lái)回答。我知道，感激是珍貴的寶石，不是一塊蛋糕。但是，我們?cè)趺茨芷谕@樣的大事件不時(shí)發(fā)生呢?我們?nèi)绾螠?zhǔn)備好提前說(shuō)謝謝?我們?cè)趺纯偸窍Ｍ屑っ恳粋�(gè)人，因?yàn)樗麄兊淖饑?yán)和慷慨?有時(shí)我會(huì)問(wèn)自己。它是道德的嗎?誠(chéng)實(shí)嗎?它有益嗎?有必要嗎?或者最有趣的，是荒謬的嗎?哈哈……所以在我看來(lái)，我們最好把精力放在生活細(xì)節(jié)上。
最后，感恩的意義何在?有句諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)感恩是高尚靈魂的標(biāo)志。真的!到現(xiàn)在為止，我不是那種巨人，但我敢說(shuō)，每個(gè)人，你和我，都有權(quán)利和義務(wù)去表達(dá)我們對(duì)世界的感激之情，無(wú)論貧富，快樂(lè)或悲傷，年輕或年老。只有這樣，我們才能達(dá)到人類終極關(guān)懷。同時(shí)，它顯然有助于構(gòu)建和諧社會(huì)。
總之，感恩的世界是珍貴的預(yù)期數(shù)千年。為什么不向你周圍的人表達(dá)我們的感激之情呢?
非常感謝你!
