畢業儀式上的英語演講稿3篇 1976年喬布斯和朋友成立蘋果電腦公司，他陪伴了蘋果公司數十年的起落與復興，深刻地改變了現代通訊、娛樂乃至生活的方式。他曾在畢業演講上說過，將每一天都當做最后一天來活，我想這就是他的人生態度和他所作出的成就中不可或缺的因素，也能看出他對人生、對知識、對未來的思考。下面我們就來讀一讀史蒂夫·喬布斯的英語畢業演講稿吧。my third story is about death.when i was 17 i read a quote that went something like if you live each day as if it was your last, someday youll most certainly be right.it made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, i have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, if today were the last day of my life, would i want to do what i am about to do today? and whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, i know i need to change something.remembering that ill be dead soon is the most important thing ive ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.remembering that you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.you are already naked.there is no reason not to follow your heart.我的第三個故事關于死亡。我17歲的時候讀到過一句話“如果你把每一天都當作最后一天過，有一天你會發現你是正確的”。這句話給我留下了深刻的印象。從那以后，過去的33年，每天早上我都會對著鏡子問自己：“如果今天是我的最后一天，我會不會做我想做的事情呢？”如果連著一段時間，答案都是否定的的話，我就知道我需要改變一些東西了。提醒自己就要死了是我遇見的最大的幫助，幫我作了生命中的大決定。因為幾乎任何事——所有的榮耀、驕傲、對難堪和失敗的恐懼——在死亡面前都會消隱，留下真正重要的東西。提醒自己就要死亡是我知道的最好的方法，用來避開擔心失去某些東西的陷阱。你已經赤裸裸了，沒有理由不聽從于自己的心愿。about a year ago, i was diagnosed with cancer.i had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.i didnt even know what a pancreas was.the doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that i should expect to live no longer than three to six months.my doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors code for prepare to die.it means to try and tell your kids everything you thought youd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months.it means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family.it means to say your goodbyes.大約一年前，我被診斷出患了癌癥。我早上七點半作了掃描，清楚地顯示在我的胰腺有一個腫瘤。我當時都不知道胰腺是什么東西。醫生們告訴我這幾乎是無法治愈的，我還有三到六個月的時間。我的醫生建議我回家，整理一切。在醫生的辭典中，這就是“準備死亡”的意思。就是意味著把要對你小孩說十年的話在幾個月內說完；意味著把所有東西搞定，盡量讓你的家庭活得輕松一點；意味著你要說“永別”了。i lived with that diagnosis all day.later that evening i had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor.i was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.i had the surgery and, thankfully, i am fine now.我整日都想著那診斷書的事情。后來有天晚上我做了一個活切片檢查，他們將一個內窺鏡伸進我的喉嚨，穿過胃，到達腸道，用一根針在我的胰腺腫瘤上取了幾個細胞。我當時是被麻醉的，但是我的妻子告訴我，那些醫生在顯微鏡下看到細胞的時候開始尖叫，因為發現這竟然是一種非常罕見的可用手術治愈的胰腺癌癥。我做了手術，現在，我痊愈了。這是我最接近死亡的時候，我也希望是我未來幾十年里最接近死亡的一次。這次死里逃生讓我比以往只知道死亡是一個有用而純粹書面概念的時候更確信地告訴你們，沒有人愿意死，即使那些想上天堂的人們也不愿意通過死亡來達到他們的目的。但是死亡是每個人共同的終點，沒有人能夠逃脫。也應該如此，因為死亡很可能是生命最好的發明。它去陳讓新。現在，你們就是“新”。但是有一天，不用太久，你們有會慢慢變老然后死去。抱歉，這很戲劇性，但卻是真的。你們的時間是有限的，不要浪費在重復別人的生活上。不要被教條束縛，那意味著會和別人思考的結果一塊兒生活。不要被其他人的喧囂觀點掩蓋自己內心真正的聲音。你的直覺和內心知道你想要變成什么樣子。所有其他東西都是次要的。喬布斯在演講稿的結尾中說，以“stay hungry, stay foolish”與大家共勉。這位巨星雖然已經隕落，但我們不僅活在由他改變的生活里，今天更是在英文演講稿中受到他的啟迪。

My uncle ordered popovers

from the restaurant's bill of fare.And when they were served,he regarded them

with a penetrating stare...Then he spoke great Words of Wisdomas he sat there on that chair:

“To eat these things,”

said my uncle,“you must excercise great care.You may swallow down what's solid...BUT...you must spit out the air!”

And...as you partake of the world's bill of fare,that's darned good advice to follow.Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.And be careful what you swallow.Thank you.

Language ARTS.5th Period

Graduation Speech

Once we finish our final exams, many of us might never see each other again, and we might never sit in the classroom of St.Charles listening to our teachers.But “If not us, who? If not now, when?”This quote is said by John F.Kennedy, America’s 35th president.It means that the time is pushing us forward, and we have to keep going.We will leave many things behind the road.I feel excited for the new things that are waiting ahead of me, and also feel sad to leave St.Charles and all the great teachers and staff.Good-by, my teachers.Many of you are the greatest teachers I’ve ever met in my life.Thank you for teaching me knowledge and skills.Thank you for helping me to be a better person.Most importantly, thank you for helping me overcome my language barrier.Good-by, my friends.Thank you for being my friends, you added color on to my life, and made my life interesting and fun.Good-by, my classmates.The last day of school might be the last time I will see you.I will miss you and all the good time we have spent together.When I look at my year book one day, I will say ,“Ha, I remember you ” And I will not forget the fun things we have done.I have changed a lot in the three years I have been in St.Charles.Firstly, I learned many things from this school.My English improved from being able to understand nothing to being able to almost understand anything.These changes are huge.But the most important thing St.Charles gave to me is courage.The courage to talk to other people, and to actually be part of a group.I can say that St.Charles helped me pass hardest time in life.When I first came here from China.I could hardly understand anything I was very shy when I talked with people I didn’t know.With my language difficulties, I could barely talk to people and understand what they were saying.Also, the completely different culture made my life very hard.Sometimes I have to do six hours of homework and go to sleep at one o’clock.But the teachers, staff, and classmate are so nice.They give me lots of help when I need it.With that help and my effort, my English grows better and better., and the hardest time has finally passed.Thank you to all those who have helped me , I will never forget what you have done for me.Look back at our school, it’s not fashionable, it’s not big, it doesn’t have new technology, and it even looks small at first.But we all love it.It’s like our second family, a family filled with joyfulness.Here, everyone helps everyone, everyone love everyone.I feel love and kindness here, that is something that I cannot feel from other schools.Those are the unique things about our school.That is why we loved it , and wanted to stay there.We will miss this school so much because we’ve spent so much of our life here.But like John F.Kennedy said “If not us, who ? If not now, when ?” There are still many exciting things waiting for us in our future.We can’t just stop and miss the other beautiful sights coming up.To keep going and get a good gradd is the most important thing for me to do now, because that is what I think I’m supposed to do.It is the starting of all.You have to gain knowledge to develop your skill and to reach your goal.And I believe that I will go farther if I get more knowledge.I will remember all the great things St.Charles had taught me, and remain thankful after I leave St.Charles.And I will come back and visit our school again, and visit those teachers who taught me, and people who helped me.
