第一篇：初中英語演講小短文三分鐘

my chinese dream 我的中國夢

i am very glad to stand here to give thier a short speech.today my topic is that the youth are the future of motherland 很高興站在這里做這篇短小的演講，我演講的主題是青年是祖國的未來。

在準備英語演講比賽的時候，我本想簡單地從網上搜索一些文章作為我演講的內容。我看過很多文章，有著名主持人的、北大教授的、大學生的，也有初中生的。但是看完之后，我放棄了當初的想法，我甚至為當初的想法感到有一些羞愧。因為今天我站在這里向大家演講的主題，是一個莊重而嚴肅的主題；是一個充滿榮耀與自豪的主題；是每一個中華兒女共同期盼的主題。每個人都有屬于他們自己的中國夢，而我，當然也有一直縈繞在心懷只屬于我的中國夢。

so what?s my chinese dream ? finally i will announce.we had learned a lot of knowledge and understood a lot of truth in the book.we had a basic concept to our country at that time.we know that our country is full of sunshine , and we are the future of our country, and our dreams are to be the hope of our motherland.我的中國夢是什么樣的？先賣個關子。

記得剛剛上學那會兒，我們天真無邪。在課本里，我們學到了很多很多知識，也明白了很多很多道理，我們對祖國也有了一個最基本的概念。我們知道我們的祖國到處充滿陽光，正在慢慢發(fā)展，而我們，就是祖國未來的花朵，未來的希望。我們夢想將來能夠成為祖國的希望。

這，是我們最初的中國夢。最真誠的我們，最真誠的夢。

但是，不知道什么時候開始，我們長大了，生活似乎一下子變得和以前不太一樣了，與此同時，雖然我們很不想承認但是卻又不得不承認的是，我們的思想，我們的為人處世觀，我們對我們祖國的看法，也潛移默化中慢慢開始了轉變。我們的社會變得到處充滿欺騙、冷漠、勾心斗角、壓力、腐敗、險惡，我們變得暴躁，不冷靜，憤世嫉俗。我們的國家，似乎也開始變得千瘡百孔。而好多我們親愛的祖國委以重任培養(yǎng)的青年學生們變得輕浮、急躁，更別提什么夢想，什么中國夢了？

are we sick, or is our dear motherland sick? 我很驚訝，當大街上有老人摔倒，我們不敢再去扶起；我很難過，當有人做了好事被報道，更多的人說他做作；我很傷心，當我看到我們眾多的青年人變得冷漠、市儈、欺詐以及缺乏理想。

到底是我們病了，還是我們親愛的祖國病了？

i dont want to talk about the construction of our country politics, and also speak impassioned speech on the diaoyu island event.i just want to appeal young people,showing the side of youth,good and confidence.we must learn to organize our own thoughts, correct our own concept, and change our direction to the right side in future life.china dream actually lies in our young generation, especially of the intellectuals.我的中國夢，不想大談政治，也不想對釣魚島事件發(fā)表慷慨激昂的演講。我只想呼吁，呼吁我們年輕人，呼吁我們祖國的希望能夠將我們的青春一面，將我們的善良一面，將我們的自信一面好好展現(xiàn)出來。我們要學會整理自己的思想，端正自己看問題的觀念，擺正自己的人生方向。我們的中國夢實際上正掌握在我們自己手上，掌握在我們年青一代，尤其是知識分子手上。也許，一個人，是渺小的；但是當他和祖國聯(lián)系起來時，就是偉大的。也許，一個夢想，是渺小的，但是當它成為祖國的夢想時，就是不可估量的。也許，我無法用自己一個人的力量撬起整個中國，但是我們千千萬萬年輕人一起為祖國的夢想去奮斗時，我們的祖國就足以令世界顫抖、動容。

i dream to construct our beauty china with millions of young people who have the same dream.we do it without exaggeration but only with persistence.我夢想和萬千具有相同夢想的年輕人去建設我們的美麗中國，沒有虛浮，只有執(zhí)著，只有奮斗，只有勇于擔當。這就是我的中國夢！that is my speech,thanks everyone.我的演講就到這里，謝謝大家。

we are the world ,we are the future 世界是我們的，未來是我們的

someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”.i don?t know who wrote these words, but i?ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be.we are all in the position of the farmers.if we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest.if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.一些人說?我們正在讀一本無窮的書中的第一章的第一節(jié)。?我不知道誰寫了這些話，但是我一直很喜歡它，因為它提醒了我，我們能夠創(chuàng)造我們想要的未來。we are young.“how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful question.to answer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” youth is not a time of life, it?s a state of mind.it?s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees.it?s the matter of the will.it?s the freshness of the deep spring of life.我們都是農夫。如果我們播下好的種子，我們將會豐收。如果我們的種子很差，有很多草籽，收割的將是無用的莊稼。如果我們什么也不播種，什么收獲也沒有。youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease.this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.nobody grows old merely by a number of years.we grow old by deserting our ideals.years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.我們是年輕的。?怎樣度過青春??這是個有意義的問題。為了去回答它，我首先要問?從‘青春’這個詞中你能理解到什么?? 青春不是人生的一個時期，而是精神的一種狀態(tài)。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志。青春是生命的深泉在涌流.whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young.a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.several days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture.i learnt a lot there.i?d like to share it with all of you.let?s show our right palms.we can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is.i have a short line of life.what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way.well, let?s make a fist.where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell me.yeah, it is in our hands.it is held in ourselves.一位詩人說?從一粒沙看世界，從一朵花看天堂，把無限放在你的手掌，永恒在一剎那里收藏?。幾天前，我有了一個聽講座的機會，從中我學到了很多東西。現(xiàn)在，我想把這些與大家共享。讓我們伸出右手，我們可以看到手掌中的展示我們的愛，事業(yè)和生活的三條線。我在生活方面這條線很短，那你們的呢?我想知道我們是否可以用這種辦法去看我們的未來。好的，讓我們一起握拳。我們的未來在哪兒?我們的愛、事業(yè)和生活在哪兒?告訴我!是的，它們就在我們的手中。它們被我們自己掌握著。

we all want the future to be better than the past.but the future can go better itself.don?t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.from the past, we?ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher.we?ve learnt that we can?t choose how we feel, but we can choose what篇二：初中英語演講短文

尊敬的評委，各位同學：

下午好！

最近，社會上有一場很激烈的爭論。大學生是一種稀有特權的享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我們能面對挑戰(zhàn)而無所畏懼嗎？我們能夠改善他人的生活嗎？我們能夠承擔建設祖國未來的重任嗎？

懷疑論者說大學生是被寵壞的一代，一丁點挫折都受不了。但是他們錯了，我所看到的大學生正在努力的學習獨立生活。我們互相幫助打掃衛(wèi)生，一起上街砍價購物，一起參加兼職工作來賺零花錢。

懷疑論者說我們除了成績什么都不關心，從而忽略了性格的培養(yǎng)。但是，他們又錯了。我們彼此關心，我們向往自由，我們珍惜公正，我們追求真理。上個星期，很多我的同學去驗血，為了給患血癌的孩子貢獻自己的力量。

作為大學生，我們是處在人生分水嶺的青年。我們都面臨一個重要的選擇：懷疑人生還是相信自己，每一種都會給我們的人生帶來重大的影響，甚至影響我們祖國的未來。我相信我們的同學們，雖然我們依然缺乏經驗，甚至有些志氣，但是我相信我們有勇氣和自信來面對生活的挑戰(zhàn)并承擔我們的責任。我們正努力準備接受新的任務，用我們所學習的知識將世界變得更美好。我對我們的未來充滿信心。

大學生英語演講稿17 change the ingredients of your life

十七、王晨，20歲，安徽

change the ingredients of your life if kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy.if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges.and hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.改變生活的味道

這是一杯白開水，平淡無味，對吧？可是加上點糖呢，他嘗起來會有甜味；如果加的是蘇打水，味道就會變苦。人生同樣如此——個中滋味在于我們的選擇。

善待他人，你會擁有朋友；但如果充滿惡意，則會多個敵人。將愛賦予一堆紅磚，你會擁有一個家；用仇恨來澆鑄這堆紅磚，就會鑄成一座集中營。

因此親愛的朋友們，不要抱怨人生乏味，世間無望。不喜歡生活的味道，那就換一換生活的調料吧！

三年前，我重達100多公斤，這給我?guī)砹撕芏鄬擂魏痛煺郏后w育課老是不及格，總被女孩們嘲笑，更不敢當眾發(fā)表意見。幸而由于祖母的鼓勵，我不在消極人生，而是充滿自信。她曾經說過：“孩子，如果體形無法改變，為什么不把它看做自己獨特的風格呢？” 我開始這樣來審視人生，通過改變生活的視角，我信心大增地去改變我的人生，很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)一個嶄新的世界。

朋友們，將信念，希望，愛意和忍性溶入生命，你就會找到自信，克服缺點，迎接人生新的挑戰(zhàn)。最后我的演講包括在內，希望你會看到一場精彩的演講比賽。

吉卜林說過:東方是東方，西方是西方，二者永不相聚。但是一個世紀后的今天，東西方相匯了!它們相聚在經濟領域，它們相聚在教育領域，它們相聚在藝術的殿堂。有人爭論說:這種融合需要我們在東方和西方之間做出選擇，但我卻堅信最美好的未來在于東方和

在我們面前有兩條河流，東方文化和西方文化。現(xiàn)在，它們也許正朝著不同的方向流去。但是最終它們將匯合到人類文化的海洋里。

第三篇：英語演講小短文

Heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.High should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Which tends to be stifled by too much study.Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我認為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學校課業(yè)，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。

Time【時間】

Lost time is never found again.This is something which I learned very clearly last semester.I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.I finally realized that something had to be done.It was time for a change.Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely.I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.This will give me a head start on the day.I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it.Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.時光一去不復返，這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。我浪費很多時間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時候了。

現(xiàn)在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來。回顧我所做的事情會啟發(fā)我如何重新安排我的時間。

Work and Play【工作與娛樂】

Work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they complement each other.As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school.Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.工作與娛樂并不互相沖突，事實上，它們之間的關系還相輔相成。有句格言說：「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沉悶乏味。」被工作重擔壓得喘不過氣來的生活，將使你一事無成，因為你將對一成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另一方面來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調生活中的緊張與不悅。

放學之后，我最常做的休閑活動，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我并不特地撥出時間來做運動，但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此一來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下一星期的工作量。

My first Job【我的第一份工作】

My first job was at a cramming school.It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination.since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message.I worked eight hours a day, six days a week.The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well.The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.我的第一份工作是在一家補習班做事。那是三年前我剛從國中畢業(yè)，考完聯(lián)考時的事了。既然我那整個夏天都閑著沒事，倒不如找份差事，嘗嘗獨立賺錢的快樂。

我負責接聽電話且紀錄留言的工作。我一天工作八小時，一星期工作六天。那份工作對我而言既不困難亦不沉重，所以我想我還滿稱職的。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過于花全部由自己賺來的錢了！

My Favorite Sports【我最喜愛的運動】

Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient.So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis.Table tennis is my favorite game.I play it almost every day.Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.Table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.運動能幫助每一個人保持健康、快樂和有效率。所以我特別重視運動，特別是桌球，桌球是我最喜歡的運動。我?guī)缀趺刻焱妗?/p>

桌球對我們而言，是一項理想的運動，因為它可以使我們全身運動，它可以增強我們的肌肉，擴張我們的肺部，促進血液循環(huán)，并且使肌膚產生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所費不多。桌球是相當溫和適中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一種室內運動，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜愛的一種運動。

Keep learning【保持學習】

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire

for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.學習之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達。同樣地，我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學習是在信息時代中跟時代并駕齊驅的最穩(wěn)當的方法，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。

一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數日就將使人落后。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們人格的欲望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業(yè)。

2．heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy.While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.High should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Which tends to be stifled by too much study.Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork.I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.我認為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我并非主張廢除學校課業(yè)，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。

One day, a father and his little son were going home.At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions.Now, he asked, “What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?” “Well, my son,” his father replied, “l(fā)ook, there are standing two policemen.If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk.” “But, dad,” the boy said, “ there's only ONE policeman!”

醉酒

一天，父親與小兒子一道回家。這個孩子正處于那種對什么事都很感興趣的年齡，老是有提不完的問題。他向父親發(fā)問道：“爸爸，‘醉’字是什么意思？” “唔，孩子，”父親回答說，“你瞧那兒站著兩個警察。如果我把他們看成了四個，那么我就算醉了。” “可是，爸爸，”孩子說，“那兒只有一個警察呀！”

Is Failure a Bad Thing Failure is a common thing in our daily life.As students, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our exams.When we play games, we might be beaten by others.And there are times when we fail to do work well.All these failures happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experiences.However, there are different attitudes towards failure.Some people lose heart when they fail;they think the world is at its end.Some people don?t take failure seriously but just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure.In my opinion, what is really important is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and what we do after failure.As long as we don?t give up, keeping believing in ourselves, and at the same time learn something from failure, we?ll certainly make our mark in the end.So I am never afraid of failure, for I believe that failure is not a bad thing.Rather, “Failure is the mother of success.”

失敗是壞事嗎 失敗在我們的日常生活中很常見。作為學生，我們有時在考試中得不到高分。在我們和其他人比賽時，有時會輸。還有的時候，我們總做不好事情。所有這些失敗都很自然，我們每一個人都有類似的經歷。然而，面對失敗人們的態(tài)度卻截然不同。一些人失敗后變得灰心喪氣，似乎世界末日到了；一些人不拿失敗當回事兒，聽之任之；還有一些人卻從失敗中學習東西，從而從失敗中能看到希望。在我看來，重要的不是失敗本身，而是我們對待失敗的態(tài)度和失敗之后我們的行動。只要我們不放棄，相信自己，并從失敗中汲取營養(yǎng)，我們最后一定會取得勝利。因此，我從不害怕失敗，因為我相信失敗并不是壞事。相反，“失敗是成功之母”。

你對你的將來怎么看呢？可能那會是一個很美好的愿望。讓我們堅定我們的目標，為之努力，并真正的享受我們的生命.A Boy and His Tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad.“Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.“I am no longer a kid, I don?t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys.I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don?t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them.So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited.He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn?t come back after he picked the apples.The tree was sad.One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.“Come and play with me.” The tree said.“I don?t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don?t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn?t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build the boat.You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.“Sorry, my boy.But I don?t have anything for you anymore.No more apples for you.” the tree said.“ I don?t have teeth to bite.” The boy replied.“ No more trunk for you to climb on.” “I am too old for that now.” the boy said.“I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.” The tree said with tears.“I don?t need much now, just a place to rest.I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.“Good!Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest.Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…

This is a story of everyone.The tree is our parent.When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad… When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy.You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.很久以前有一棵蘋果樹。一個小男孩每天都喜歡來到樹旁玩耍。他爬到樹頂，吃蘋果，在樹蔭里打盹……他愛這棵樹，樹也愛和他一起玩。

隨著時間的流逝，小男孩長大了。他不再到樹旁玩耍了。

一天，男孩回到樹旁，看起來很悲傷。“來和我玩吧！”樹說。

“我不再是小孩了，我不會再到樹下玩耍了。”男孩答到，“我想要玩具，我需要錢來買。”

“很遺憾，我沒有錢……但是你可以采摘我的所有蘋果拿去賣。這樣你就有錢了。”男孩很興奮。他摘掉樹上所有的蘋果，然后高興地離開了。自從那以后男孩沒有回來。樹很傷心。

一天，男孩回來了，樹非常興奮。“來和我玩吧。”樹說。“我沒有時間玩。我得為我的家庭工作。我們需要一個房子來遮風擋雨，你能幫我嗎？”很遺憾，我沒有房子。但是，你可以砍下我的樹枝來建房。“因此，男孩砍下所有的樹枝，高高興興地離開了。

看到他高興，樹也很高興。但是，自從那時起男孩沒再出現(xiàn)，樹有孤獨，傷心起來。

突然，在一個夏日，男孩回到樹旁，樹很高興。“來和我玩吧！”樹說。

“我很傷心，我開始老了。我想去航海放松自己。你能不能給我一條船？” “用我的樹干去造一條船，你就能航海了，你會高興的。”于是，男孩砍倒樹干去造船。他航海去了，很長一段時間未露面。

許多年后男孩終于回來了。“很遺憾，我的孩子，我再也沒有任何東西可以給你了。沒有蘋果給你……”樹說。“我沒有牙齒啃。” 男孩答到。“沒有樹干供你爬。”“現(xiàn)在我老了，爬不上去了。” 男孩說。“我真的想把一切都給你……我唯一剩下的東西是快要死去的樹墩。” 樹含著眼淚說。“現(xiàn)在，我不需要什么東西，只需要一個地方來休息。經過了這些年我太累了。”男孩答到。“太好了！老樹墩就是倚著休息的最好地方。過來，和我一起坐下休息吧。” 男孩坐下了，樹很高興，含淚而笑……

這是一個發(fā)生在每一個人身上的故事。那棵樹就像我們的父母。我們小的時候，喜歡和爸爸媽媽玩……長大后，便離開他們，只有在我們需要父母親，或是遇到了困難的時候，才會回去找他們。盡管如此，父母卻總是有求必應，為了我們的幸福，無私地奉獻自己的一切。你也許覺得那個男孩很殘忍，但我們何嘗不是這樣呢？

美國總統(tǒng)林肯所作的著名的蓋茨堡演說

Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.We are met on a great battlefield of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,----that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion,----that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,----that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,----and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.英語演講開場方式欣賞

Today I come to Oslo as a trustee, inspired and with renewed dedication to humanity;I accept this prize on behalf of all men who loved peace and brotherhood.I say I come as a trustee, for in the depths of my heart I am aware that this prize is much more than an honor to me personally.今天，我以受托人的身份來到奧斯陸，心情激動，充滿了獻身人類的新勇氣。我代表所有熱愛和平與兄弟情誼的人們接受這個獎。我之所以以受托人的身份來到這里，是因為，在我的內心深處，我意識到這個獎決不僅僅是我個人的榮譽。

The road of history is not level and smooth all along.Sometimes the path will come to a dangerous and difficult place.It is only with the valiant and gallant spirit of the travelers that it can be passed through.The vast and mighty Yangtzi River, when it comes to an endless, broad plain, will flow ten thousand miles in a rapid current.But as it reaches a narrow valley with high ranges of mountains, cliffs and precipices on both sides, which look dangerously steep, the river has to force its way through them in a winding, tortuous course.The same is the case with the developing course of a nation's history.The history of human race is like going on a journey.Some of the places the traveler passes through are smooth and level pianos, and others are dangerous and rugged paths.The experienced travelers, when they moved on to a broad, level road, will naturally walk along with a light heart, but while they are passing through a rugged place they will all the more be seized with curiosity, and in such an extremely fantastic and magnificent realm, will all the more feel a sort of pleasure in an adventure.歷史的道路，不總是平坦的，有時會變得艱難險阻。這只能靠英勇無畏的精神才能夠沖過去。

一條浩浩蕩蕩的長江大河，有時流到很寬闊的境界，一望無際，一瀉千里。有時流到很逼狹的境界，兩岸叢山疊嶺，絕壁斷崖，江河流于其間，曲折迂回，極為險峻。民族生命的進展，其歷程亦復如是。

人類在歷史上的生活正如旅行一樣。旅途上的征人所經過的地方有時是坦蕩平原，有時是崎嶇險路。老于旅途的人，走到平坦的地方固是高高興興地向前走，走到崎嶇的境界，愈是奇趣橫生，覺得在此奇艷壯絕的境界，愈能感得一種冒險的美趣。

My fellow and my friends;Once I read a piece of news report.It says, “A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day.His brother, whose age excelled school age, was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother's pencil at his side.Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully, his little eyes were winking, and said to his brother seriously, ”When will it thirty-second, brother?“ The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile, ”What are you going to do on that thirty-second?“ ”Papa promised me to send me to school,“ said his younger brother.His brother, the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles.My God!My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling.They were exhausted.How could they afford my younger brother's schooling? Oh, thirty-second...My dear friends, hearing this, didn't you feel sorry for them? We share the same native land, the same blue sky under the sun.Why cannot they be given lesson at school, sitting in the bright and big classroom? We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country.But now the country's fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough.What should we do? It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.同胞們，朋友們：

我曾看過這樣一則報道：”某邊遠山區(qū)一個中學生，一天在家復習功課，一旁的已過入學年齡的小弟弟拿他的鉛筆在紙上寫著、涂著、畫著，突然若有所思地仰起小臉，眨巴幾下小眼睛，認真地問：'哥哥，什么時候才到32號呀？'這位中學生看看天真的小弟弟，笑著逗他：'32號你要干啥？''爸爸說，到32號才能送我去上學。'中學生望著可愛的小弟弟，內心針扎般難受：天哪，父母為了供自己上學，整日操勞，身體都累垮了，哪還有能力再送弟弟上學？啊！32號......"

朋友們，當你聽了這個故事，你不感到痛心嗎？同在一片故土上，同在一片藍天下，為什么他們不能坐在寬敞明亮的教室里去讀書？我們常說：國家要振興，教育須先行。而我國的財力、物力都不寬裕，怎么辦？這就需要全社會的人齊心協(xié)力為國家分憂，為國家出力！

That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life of life it offers has a homely grace.It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vastly sea;but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss.I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.In my heart was desire to live more dangerously.I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous, shoals it I could only have change-change and the excitement of unforeseen.這一定是世間無數對夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。它使人想起一條平靜的溪流，蜿蜒暢游過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最后注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太過沉默，太過不動聲色，你會突然感到莫名的不安。也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時代，這想法對我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什么。我承認這種生活有社會價值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的沖動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘

Just a Little Bit More(再努力一點點)Lots of people lose hope at the so-called 11th hour1.In sports terms, we say that they lose hope just before the finishing line.xiaogushi8.com They don’t think that they can be winners in life, but the truth is they can.很多人在“最后關頭”喪失了希望。在體育領域這個詞是指人們在靠近終點線的前一刻放棄了希望。他們認為自己無法贏得生活的精彩,但事實上,他們可以。

The 11th hour is the point when most people feel the pain.It is an important moment that decides whether you succeed or not.Champions always put in extra effort to become winners and succeed.Those who don’t put in extra effort leave the race with nothing.All they need to win the race is a little extra effort at that last point.This is the difference between winners and losers.大多數人往往在“最后關頭”會感到痛苦。但這是一個決定你能否成功的關鍵時刻。成為冠軍的人往往會再加一把勁兒從而最終成為勝利者。而那些沒有堅持到最后的人卻一無所獲地離開賽場。其實他們獲得成功只需要在最后時刻再付出那么一點點努力。這就是勝者與敗者的區(qū)別。

I know you have the ability to be a champion.The race will not be easy, but it can be won.You need to put in extra effort when trying to achieve your goal.Just do a little bit more.This is what will separate you from others who seek to be where you are.When you want to give up or slow down because you feel tired, try to keep on going until you reach the finishing line.You can do it because you still have strength within you.我相信你有能力成為冠軍。比賽是不輕松,但你同樣可以贏得勝利。為了達成目標你需要不懈努力。再多付出一點點。而這將把你與其他人區(qū)分開,這將決定你是否能成為冠軍。當你因為疲憊而想到放棄或減速慢行的時候,試著再努力一次,努力堅持到終點線。你可以做到,因為你自身擁有強大的力量。

It’s a new day今天又是新的一天

Yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day!In your mind, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the places you intend to go, the relationships1 you desire to develop and the positions you aspire to reach.是的,今天是新的一天,今天是與眾不同的一天,今天是陽光明媚的一天。在你心里,你夢寐以求的東西,你渴望到達的地方,你想要發(fā)展的關系,你渴望得到的職位,都清晰可見。

You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed!And you are confident;you are passionate;you are committed!你知道,只要你有信心、有激情,肯下決心,所有這些都能實現(xiàn)。此刻你充滿信心,滿懷激情,躍躍欲試嗎？永遠都不要放棄對美好的追求。

You will never waver in your pursuit.After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best!As your friend, duanwenw.com I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will be open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand.You must do your part, you must follow the plans you make and take action as you plan, you must never stop, and you must never fear.因為你是最棒的,而且你應該是最棒的！作為你的朋友,我敢肯定,通向所有美好事物的門都會向你打開,然而開啟這扇門的鑰匙卻把握在你的手中。你必須盡職盡責,忠實履行自己的計劃,并將它們付諸行動。不要退縮,不要恐懼。

I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it and you will succeed!Now stand firm and tall, get excited and shout it out: “I must do it!I can do it!I will do it!I will succeed!” 我知道你必須、應該,也一定會這樣做而且你一定會成功！堅定而自信地站起來,用激揚的聲音告訴所有人:“我必須成功！我能成功！我一定會成功！” 我是我自己的陽光I Am My Sunshine It’s all right to believe that someone brings sunshine into your life.That someone might have enough to spread around.But, if you really have to wait for someone else to be your sunshine, your good feelings, then you might wait for a long time.Now is the time to be of good cheer, this very moment.Don’t wait for anyone else to determine your mood.You have completely control4 of your own disposition5.You have the choice.There is no other way.Your present moment of good cheer will carry you to the next, and you will be in control of that moment also.You are worth6 having good.Go for it!

相信會有一個人把陽光帶進你的生活中是可以的。那個人也許會有足夠的東西去四處傳播。但是,如果你真的要等別人帶給你陽光,帶給你美好的感受,那你也許要等上很長的時間。

現(xiàn)在是時候歡呼了,就在這一刻。不要等待別人來左右你的情緒。你可以完全控制你的性情。你有這個選擇。沒有其他別的辦法。

你這一刻的歡呼會帶你走到下一刻,你也將會把握住那一刻。你值得擁有美好的事物。去爭取吧！
