Friendship

拖延症英語演講稿(精選19篇)

友誼

Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.

我們每個人,不論富裕還是貧窮,至少應該有一個或兩個好朋友。我的朋友會聽我説,如果我想説話,要擦去我的眼睛當我哭泣,會照顧我在我生病時,我的朋友將與我一起肩並肩在這人生旅程。

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.

友誼是一種財寶在我們的生活。它實際上是像一瓶酒,越久保留,這將是更香甜。它就像一杯茶。當我們口渴時,這將是對我們最好的選擇,但當我們有足夠的時間去玩得很開心的,它也是最芬芳的飲料。

All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

我們所有的人都要花點時間來個人的生活。我們必須找到機會來表達我們的感情和愛。當住在我們的朋友,我們可以放鬆自己完全。我們可以做任何我們想要的,我們能一起大聲笑,一起交談,甚至哭泣下。我應該説,是我們最好的朋友一起是最精彩的時刻,我們的生活。

As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. But it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true. We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.

正如我們所知道的,我們會感到寂寞,如果我們還沒有一個朋友。但這並不意味着我們可以依靠我們的朋友。有個著名的格言説:“一個朋友就像一個棉花棉絲被子,但真正的東西,是使你暖和是你自己的温度。“這是真的。我們必須努力同我們的朋友,互相激勵,互相幫助。當我們能收到更多的愛與友誼,我們應該償還高達就可以了。

Finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. Let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts

最後,讓我們一起祈禱了,有一天,我們都能找到我們想找的人,就可以享受一段美好友誼的真正左右我們的生活了。讓我們一起祈禱友誼之花卻成為我們的朋友,我們將永遠綻放鮮豔的在我們的心中

拖延症英語演講稿 篇2

Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.  許多野生動物正面臨絕種的危險,因為它們生活的環境發生了極大的變化。例如,隨着城市的發展,殺蟲劑的使用和嚴重的污染,他們的生活區域變得越來越狹小。許多野生動物,現在面臨糧食危機。同時,人類正在屠殺野生動物只是為了獲得它們的皮毛,皮膚,角,牙齒和肉。

In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.

為了保護生態資源,人們應該意識到任何物種的缺失,至少意味着知識資源和自然美的缺失。因此,本應採取以下措施:制訂污染標準以降低有毒物質;嚴禁殺害某些稀有物種;應建立國家公園作為野生動物,保護區。

Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.

我們只有採取一些有力措施,才能保護野生動物。

拖延症英語演講稿 篇3

In the Chinese book, there is a text mainly teach us how to choose thebook, the teacher let us read this text, after I read, I have a littleunderstand the meaning of it, and then wait for the teacher to talk about, and Imore understand, this is mainly about reading more books, can make us moreknowledge。

I remember the teacher said, read more books can be happy life, so I haveto try, for a week to read a book, I read the time, my mother said, "you are sogood, sitting here to read seriously" "I was good, not now"。 Mother said, "thisis good, reading is to read, not to the teachers and parents to see"。

I now finally understand the benefits and benefits of reading books,reading the benefits are: 1, 2, rich knowledge, can be happy life。 I thinkreading has bee more fun, because reading the original is the rich, that it'sgood to read, can kill two birds with one stone, can be a wealth of knowledgeand a happy life。

So I read more books will be for us a lot of help, so I here remind youthat read mainly we don't pretend to understand。

在語文書上有一篇課文主要教我們怎樣選取書,老師先讓我們讀一讀這篇課文,我讀了之後,我已經有點明白它的意思了,再等老師講一下,我更家明白了,這這主要是講了讀多點書,能使我們的知識更加豐富。

我還記得老師説過,讀多點書能夠快樂一生,所以我此刻就試一下,爭取一個星期讀完一本書,我我在讀書的時候,媽媽説“你這麼乖,坐在那裏認真的看書”“我本來就乖的,不是此刻才乖的”。媽媽又在説“這樣就好了,讀書是給自我讀的,不是給老師和家長看的”。

我此刻最後明白了讀書的好處和益處,看書的好處有:1、豐富知識2、能夠快樂一生。我覺得讀書越來越好玩了,因為讀書原先是這豐富的,這讀書真好,能夠一舉兩得,能夠豐富知識又能夠快樂一生。

所以我讀多點書也會對於我們很大幫忙,所以我在那裏提醒你們,讀書主要我們不要不懂裝懂。

拖延症英語演講稿 篇4

Everybody will have failure is a successful mother, if there is no failure, that will not have results to show an ly, the successful man is very happy, they own fresh flowers, the person, who fail, own of only have lonesome with fact, we should go to more honorific is those person of[with] use, there is failure, just have results to show an achievement.

Fail don't mean you is a for failed, fail to just mean you haven't succeeded; Fail don't mean you a have no become, fail to mean you get experience; Fail don't mean you are a stupid person who don't know to improvise, failing to mean you have Attic faith; Fail don't mean you have to has been suppressing not and quickly, failing to mean you take pleasure in trying.......

This is the failure, precious failure.

每個人都會有失敗.失敗乃成功之母,如果沒有失敗,那就不會有成功.的確,成功的人很幸福,他們擁有鮮花,掌聲.但失敗的人,擁有的只有寂寞和冷落.其實,我們更加應該去尊敬的是那些失敗的人.因為,有了失敗,才有成功.

失敗並不表示你是一為失敗者,失敗只是表示你尚未成功; 失敗並不表示你一無所成,失敗表示你得到經驗; 失敗並不表示你是一個不知變通的蠢人,失敗表示你有堅定的信念; 失敗並不表示你必須一直壓抑不快,失敗表示你樂意嘗試.......

這就是失敗,寶貴的失敗.

拖延症英語演講稿 篇5

As the saying goes, "Time is money." But does time definitely mean money? Idon't think so.

常言道:時間就是金錢。但是時間真的就意味着金錢嗎?我不這麼認為。

First of all, time is more precious than money. When money is spent, youcan earn it back if you like. However, when time is gone, it will never comeback again. To some extent, time is priceless.

首先,時間比金錢更加珍貴。如果金錢花完了,只要你願意你可以再掙回來。但是,如果時間沒了,它永遠不會再回來。在某種程度上,時間是無價的。

Second, not all time can be turned into money in the end. Some persons areidling all the time. Their time is just for wasting, not for earning money. Theywill end in nothing at last.

其次,不是所有的時間最終都能轉換成金錢。許多人虛度光陰。他們的時間只是用來浪費的,不是掙錢。最終他們將一無所獲。

Therefore, be sure to remember that time can be turned into money only withhard work involved in it.

因此,一定要謹記,只有努力工作時間才可以轉換成金錢。

拖延症英語演講稿 篇6

First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”

Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 20xx Olympic Games. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.

Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example, more and more people will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?

I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”

For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 20xx Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.

At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.

拖延症英語演講稿 篇7

change the world? change ourselves

good evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.

it’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world, change ourselves.

it’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.

frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with ed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. (examples) why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture.

there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend,chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.

with the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us.

at last i’d like to share a famouse saying of gandhi with all of you ,that is:if you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.”

拖延症英語演講稿 篇9

Success is made up of one percent talent and ninety-nine percent effort.

The process of climbing is hard, but the scenery of the top is different than it in the bottom of the order to see the scenery of the top, we must overcome all difficulties bravely thing easy to say , but difficult to do. The peak looks so far away from our, the leg is so painful, and others say that, forget it, you can't climb up, quickly stop and rest.

So, the higher of the mountain, the fewer people. But, could we give up the scenery of the peak? although Success is far away, but there it is, it hands to us ,and encourage us to persist a while, the most beautiful scenery will belong to us. So, no matter how tired, no matter how hard, we still adhere to the teeth, until success. Like Chris Gardner, in order to survive, to his son, he works very hard, although so tired that even want to give up, but he knew, giving up is a thorough failure, means coming back to the origin, losting hope at the same time. You got a dream, you gonna protect it. When we at the most hard time, hold on for a moment, will be the most beautiful scenery.

Successful people will never give up after the storm, rather than born with the ability to got ks!

拖延症英語演講稿 篇11

Good morning everyone!

My name is Jie Lidi. Today, my topic is: “Confidence”. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. But What I want to say is that success is the child of confidence. Without confidence, things can becom#e negative and uncom#fortable. I remember, during an English class, I wanted to make a sentence using the word "listen". I should have said: "I listen to the Voice of America" but I was too nervous and said "I listen to the Noise of America". Everybody in the class laughed. Since then I wanted to train myself to be confident. Now, confidence makes me brave and courageous. Take this speech for example. I wanted to enter this com#petition, but I would feel very embarrassed if I made mistakes. Just then, I thought about my dream. My dream is to becom#e a scientist when I grow up. If I am not confident, how can I overcom#e difficulties I face? If I am not confident, how can I succeed in developing myself in the future? I will do it! Today, I am making a speech in public and I feel proud and confident!

I am sure, in the future, with confidence, I will go forward-always forward. Confidence will make my dreams com#e true!

Thank you!

Hello! Every one. My name is XuJiaWei, from Class 3 Grade 7.

Please think a minute! I heard a funny true story about this guy who goes to the gym to exercise and work out each week. He takes 20 minutes to change his clothes. Then he walks around the gym talking with different people.

After that, he reads the newspaper. Finally, he does a few stretches and 5 minutes of exercises. Then he takes a hot steam bath before going home. So in the whole 2 hours he?s at the gym, he only spends 5 minutes exercising! One day, someone heard this man saying:“I don?t understand it. I go the the gym almost everyday, but I never seem to lose weight.” But every body at the gym knows why, because they see this guy there doing everything except the main thing exercise!

in reform and open policy 30 for many years, has educated in the popularization, the expanded education scale, has achieved the very great achievement in the education development aspect, simultaneously also has many question .

拖延症英語演講稿 篇14

大家都知道,每年的十月三十一日是萬聖節,萬聖節那天,每人要穿着鬼服裝,你們知道這是為什麼嗎?哈哈,我就告訴你們吧:因為西方國家的新年在十一月,他們認為過年前一晚,有很多鬼出沒,有精靈、妖精、吸血鬼等,我們穿着鬼服裝,他們以為我們也是鬼,就不怕了,所以我們要穿鬼服裝。

那你們知道為什麼要做南瓜燈呢?我也來告訴你們吧:因為鬼要騙我們,比如説墮落天使,他們就是人類的敵人,我們在南瓜燈上刻了一個鬼臉,就是笑他們,笨蛋才會上你們當呢!

我想你們也知道了了萬聖節的由來了吧!

Everyone knows that Halloween is on October 31st every year, and onHalloween, everyone is dressed in ghost costumes. Do you know why? Ha ha, I willtell you: because the western New Year in November, they think that the nightbefore New Year, there are a lot of haunted by the ghost, elves, goblins,vampires, we wear ghost costumes, they think we are ghosts, not afraid, so wehave to wear ghost costumes.

Students, guests , teachers and Honorable Judges

Good morning !

my great pleasure to share my dream with you I was a child, I wanted to be a teacher. My father was a teacher, and he taught me a lot. I worshiped him very much. On my tenth birthday, he asked me,“What do you want to be when you grow up?”I answered proudly,“I want to be a teacher like you!”On hearing this, my father was very happy and said to me, “Work hard and your dream will come true.” Not long ago, one of my primary school teachers was ill. She wanted me to take her place for two weeks. I was glad but nervous. My father said to me,“This is a good chance. Seize it! I wish you success!” When I came into the classroom, the children were very happy.

I introduced myself to them. Soon, I got on well with them. They all liked me and I loved them. With my father and headmaster's help, I did the work very well. Now, I often miss those lovely children. That experience had made me even more interested in being a teacher in the future.

ladies and gentlemen, good morning! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.

man’s life is a process of growing up, actually i’m standing here is a growth. if a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then i grow up along with these choices. once i hope i can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know i come here, now i wonder what the future holds for me.

My favourite season is spring.

Everything is very lively in the spring. The flowers are blooming, the trees are growing and the grass is turning green. I like lying on the grass and enjoy the sun shine in the park in the spring. We also can fly a kite, have a picnic, go on a trip or climb the mountain, but I don’t like to do those things, because they will make me feel tired. Some people like to go to the countryside, however I don’t think it is a good place to go for a rest. I don’t like the other season, because they are not very warm: summer is too hot, winter is too cold. While autumn is cool, it isn’t very beautiful.

Last year, I went to the Slender West Lake in Yang Zhou. First we took a boat to travel down the lake, we saw the Qiong flowers on the bank, and they were very beautiful. Then we visited the Five Kiosks Bridge, there were five kiosks on the bridge, and every kiosk has a long history. We sit in the kiosk and took some photos. Last we went to the Fishing Platform. Why do people call it ‘Fishing Platform’? Because the emperor called ‘Qian Long’ in Qing Dynasty visited it. We also fished in it. We had a good time in Yang Zhou.

Anyway, my favourite season is spring.

拖延症英語演講稿 篇18

Less than three months ago at platform hearings in Salt LakeCity, I asked the Republican Party to lift the shroud of silence which has been draped over the issue of HIV and AIDS. I have come tonight to bring our silence to an end. I bear a message of challenge, not self-congratulation. I want your attention, not your applause.

差不多三個月前,在鹽湖城召開的政黨綱領聽證會上,我向共和黨提出了一個請求:打破長期以來對艾滋病病毒和艾滋病問題的沉默。今晚,我來到這兒,是要給這樣的沉默作個了斷。我帶來的是挑戰,不是自鳴得意;我需要的是大家的關注,不是掌聲。

I would never have asked to be HIV positive, but I believe that in all things there is a purpose; and I stand before you and before the nation gladly. The reality of AIDS is brutally clear. Two hundred thousand Americans are dead or dying. A million more are infected. Worldwide, fortymillion, sixty million, or a hundred million infections will be counted in the coming few years. But despite science and research, White House meetings, and congressional hearings, despite good intentions and bold initiatives, campaign slogans, and hopeful promises, it is -- despite it all -- the epidemic, which is winning tonight.

我從未主動要求做一名艾滋病病毒攜帶者,但我相信因果論。今天我站在眾人的面前,站在國人的面前,心甘情願。艾滋病存在的現實殘酷地擺在世人的面前。近20萬美國人因此命喪黃泉或命懸一線;100萬人已染上艾滋病。在世界範圍內,在未來的幾年裏,將會出現4千萬、6千萬、乃至1萬萬個艾滋病的感染病例。

In the context of an election year, I ask you, here in this great hall, or listening in the quiet of your home, to recognize that AIDS virus is not a political creature. It does not care whether you are Democrat or Republican; it does not ask whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old.

藉此大選年之際,我希望在座的所有人,以及安坐在家中的聽眾,都能夠認識到艾滋病病毒不是一種政治產物。它不在乎你是民主黨人還是共和黨人,也不管你是黑人還是白人,男人還是女人,同性戀者還是異性戀者,青年人還是老年人。

Tonight, I represent an AIDS community whose members have been reluctantly drafted from every segment of American society. Though I am white and a mother, I am one with a black infant struggling with tubes in a Philadelphia hospital. Though I am female and contracted this disease in marriage and enjoy the warm support of my family, I am one with the lonely gay man sheltering a flickering candle from the cold wind of this family’s rejection.

今天晚上,我代表的是一個艾滋病者團體。那些無奈地成為這個團體成員的人們,來自美國社會的各個領域。我是一名白人母親,但同時也代表費城醫院裏那些正與輸液管抗爭的黑人嬰兒。我是一名在婚後感染了艾滋病毒的女性,家人的支持讓我倍感温暖;但我同時也代表那些孤獨的同性戀男子,他們在家人排斥的冷風下,苦苦守護着自己那搖曳飄忽的生命之火。

This is not a distant threat. It is a present danger. The rate of infection is increasing fasted among women and children. Largely unknown a decade ago, AIDS is the third leading killer of young adult Americanstoday. But it won’t be third for long. Because unlike other diseases, this one travels. Adolescents don’t give each other cancer or heart disease because they believe they are in love, but HIV is different; and we have helped it along. We have killed each other with our ignorance, our prejudice, and our silence.

艾滋病不是一個遙遠的威脅,而是眼前的危險。而婦女和兒童的感染率上升得最快。十年前,大多數人還沒有聽説過艾滋病,現在,它已經是美國年輕人羣的第三大殺手了。而且它不會一直停留在第三的位置上,因為與其它疾病不同,艾滋病是具有傳染性的。年輕人不會因為相愛而互相傳染癌症或者心臟病,但艾滋病毒不同,我們助長了它的傳播。我們因為自己的無知、偏見和緘默而互相傷害。

We may take refuge in our stereotypes, but we cannot hide there long, because HIV asks only one thing of those it attacks. Are you human?And this is the right question. Are you human? Because people with HIV have not entered some alien state of being. They are human. They have not earned cruelty, and they do not deserve meanness. They don’t benefit from being isolated or treated as outcasts. Each of them is exactly what God made: aperson; not evil, deserving of our judgment; not victims, longing for our pity; people, ready for support and worthy of compassion.

我們可以用老一套方法來逃避,但卻躲避不了多久。因為艾滋病毒在襲擊目標的時候只考慮一點:你是不是人類?艾滋病毒攜帶者並沒有並沒有變成什麼奇異物種。他們仍是人類。他們並沒有變的更兇殘,不應該因此而遭受刻薄的對待。孤立和鄙視對他們沒有任何的幫助。他們中的每一個也都是上帝創造的人,不是等候我們判決的魔鬼,也不是渴盼我們憐憫的受害者;他們都是人,希望得到大家的支持,也值得大家的同情。

My call to the nation is a plea for awareness. If you believe you are safe, you are in danger. Because I was not hemophiliac, I was not at risk. Because I was not gay, I was not at risk. Because I did not inject drugs, I was not at risk.

我懇請大家對艾滋病引起重視,如果你們認為自己是安全的,你已身處險境。我並非血友病患者,我以為我沒有危險;我不是同性戀,我以為我沒有危險;我也不吸毒,我以為我沒有危險。

My father has devoted much of his lifetime guarding against another holocaust. He is part of the generation who heard Pastor Nemoellor come out of the Nazi death camps to say:

They came after the Jews, and I was not a Jew, so I did not protest. They came after the trade unionists, and I was not a trade unionist, so, I did not protest. Then they came after the Roman Catholics, and I was not a Roman Catholic, so, I did not protest. Then they came after me, and there was no one left to protest.”

父親把生命的大部分時間貢獻給了另一場屠戮的抗爭。他們那一代人都聽説過內莫洛神父的那段話。從納粹集中營中出來後,神父説:

『他們追捕猶太人,我不是猶太人,所以,我沒有抗議。他們追捕工會主義者,我不是工會主義者,所以,我沒有抗議。接着,他們追捕羅馬天主教徒,我不是羅馬天主教徒,所以,我沒有抗議。再接下來,他們追捕我,這時,已經沒有可以抗議的人了。』

The lesson history teaches is this: If you believe you are safe, you are at risk. If you do not see this killer stalking your children,look again. There is no family or community, no race or religion, no place left in America that is safe. Until we genuinely embrace this message, we are a nation at risk.

歷史的教訓告訴我們:如果你認為自己是安全的,那麼你已身處險境。如果你沒有察覺這個殺手正悄悄地走近你的孩子,那麼請再仔細看一眼。在美國,沒有任何一個家庭或社區,沒有任何一個種族或宗教,沒有任何一個地方,是絕對安全的。直到我們能夠真正意識到這一點,我們才有可能脱離險境。

Someday our children will be grown. My son Max, now four, will take the measure of his mother. My son Zachary, now two, will sort through his memories. I may not be here to hear their judgments, but I know already what I hope they are. I want my children to know that their mother was not a victim. She was a messenger. I do not want them to think, as I once did, that courage is the absence of fear. I want them to know that courage is the strength to act wisely when most we are afraid.

總有一天,我們的孩子會長大成人。我四歲的兒子馬克斯,將會審視他的母親。我兩歲的兒子扎卡里,也會搜尋關於他母親的記憶。我也許無法聽到他們的評價了,但我已經知道我希望得到怎樣的評價。我希望孩子們明白,他們的母親並不是一個受害者,她是信使。我希望他們不會像我從前那樣,認為勇氣等於無所畏懼。我希望他們明白,真正的勇氣,是在大家感到害怕的時候,依然能採取明智行為的能力

I ask no more of you than I ask of myself or of my the millions of you who are grieving, who are frightened, who have suffered the ravages of AIDS firsthand: Have courage, and you will find support. To the millions who are strong, I issue the plea: Set aside prejudice and politics to make room for compassion and sound policy.

我對你們的期望與我對自己及我的孩子們的期望是一樣的。數以百萬計因直接受到艾滋病侵害而正傷心恐懼的人們:請拿出勇氣來吧,你們會得到支持的。而那些廣大的身體健康的人們,我請求你們:把偏見和政治成見凡在一旁吧,為同情心和明智的政策留出空間。

To all within the sound of my voice, I appeal: Learn with me the lessons of history and of grace, so my children will not be afraid to say the word AIDS when I am gone. Then, their children and yours may not need to whisper it at all.

我向所有能聽見我的聲音的人們呼籲:請和我一起吸取歷史的教訓,學會感恩。這樣,當我去世之後,我的孩子們就不會害怕提及『艾滋病』這一字眼。將來,他們的孩子,你們的孩子,都無需再低聲密語地討論艾滋病。

God bless the children, and God bless us all.

Good night.

願上帝保佑孩子們,願上帝保佑我們每一個人。

晚安

拖延症英語演講稿 篇19

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.

抓牢你的夢想

我今天有一個夢想。

我夢想有一天,幽谷上升,高山下降,崎嶇之地變平原,曲折之路成坦途。聖光展露,滿照人間。

這對馬丁路德金是怎樣的一個夢想啊。不過這個變化着的世界似乎在告訴我,在成長的過程中,人們卻不知不覺把他們的夢想弄丟了,而我自己也有時會覺得在告別很多童年的夢。

然而,我們是需要夢想的。夢想滋養我們的靈魂,夢想代表着我們被現實拉垮時依然具有的希望。它鼓勵我們不斷前進。大多數成功人士都是夢想家,同時也是普通人,只是他們敢於夢想敢於成就偉大。當我們還是孩子的時候,我們都夢想過做一番大事業,現在應當做的就是保存好那些夢想,再度恢復它們,並將它們實現。不過最難的是我們通常不知道怎樣付諸實施。那麼,就從最具體的目標開始,堅持去做吧。不要讓那些莫名的恐懼迷惑了我們的雙眼,影響了我們對未來的信念。用我們的天資和智慧,用我們的耐力和創造力,我們一定會實現夢想。

抓牢你的夢想,因為如果夢想死亡,生活就成了一隻折斷翅膀的鳥再也不能飛翔。抓牢你的夢想,因為如果失去夢想,生命就成了一塊覆蓋着冰雪的貧瘠的凍土。親愛的朋友們,想想那些過去的或已經死去的夢想吧。不管是什麼,重新將它撿起,並從今天開始讓它重生。
