英語演講稿1
Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese:正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".
Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.
Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (Tt), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service issues New Year's themed stamps.
Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “l(fā)ongevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.
春節(jié)是中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日中最重要的節(jié)日。它有時被稱為“農(nóng)歷新年”。傳統(tǒng)的節(jié)日開始的第一個月的第一天，在中國日歷和結束的第十五天;這一天被稱為元宵節(jié)。除夕夜被稱為除夕。它字面意思是“年前的前夜”。
中國的農(nóng)歷新年是最長和最重要的節(jié)日。中國農(nóng)歷新年的起源是幾個世紀以來的歷史，因為幾個神話和傳統(tǒng)而獲得的意義。中國農(nóng)歷新年是對人們行為的反映，以及他們最相信的。
在華人大人口的地區(qū)慶祝，中國農(nóng)歷新年被認為是中國的一個主要節(jié)日，并有影響的新的一年慶�；顒拥牡乩磬従樱约拔幕c中國人有廣泛的互動。其中包括韓國，西藏人和不丹(藏歷新年)，蒙古人，越南，和以前的日本前1873。以外的中國大陸，臺灣，澳門，中國的新的一年，也在有顯著漢族人口的國家，如新加坡，印度尼西亞，老撾，馬來西亞，菲律賓，泰國。在澳大利亞、加拿大和美國等國，雖然中國的新年不是正式的節(jié)日，但許多華人舉辦大型慶典和澳大利亞郵政、加拿大郵政和美國郵政發(fā)行新一年的主題郵票。
在中國境內(nèi)，有關中國農(nóng)歷新年的'習俗和傳統(tǒng)有很大的不同。人們會把他們的錢倒出來買禮物，裝飾，材料，食物和衣服。這也是一個傳統(tǒng)，每一個家庭徹底打掃房子掃除任何不吉祥的希望，以使良好的運氣。窗戶和門都會用紅色的紙剪和對聯(lián)，有流行的“幸福”、“財富”、“長壽”的主題。除夕之夜，晚餐是一場家庭盛宴。食物包括豬、鴨、雞和甜的美味佳肴。家庭將結束與鞭炮的夜晚。第二天一早，孩子們會向父母祝福，希望他們有一個健康、快樂的新年，并在紅紙信封里收到紅包。中國新年的傳統(tǒng)是一個杰出的調(diào)和忘記所有恩怨，并真誠地希望和平和幸福的人。
英語演講稿2
My home village is a small one. It’s in Yuxian county of Shanxi Province. Small as it is， it’s very beautiful.
There are many hills around my home village and they are more beautiful than some big mountains. In spring， we can fly kites which are made by ourselves on the top of the hills. The kites fly very high.In summer， the trees are green and the grass is green， too. It is green everywhere on the hills. There are so many wild apple trees on the hills. The wild apples are nice to eat. In autumn， the corns under and around the hills are ripe. So we eat them almost every day. In winter， when it snows， all the ground is covered with snow. We can play with snow and sometimes we eat the clean snow with sugar. In my hometown the sky is blue， the air is clean， the water is sweet and the people are very friendly. I love my hometown!

英語演講稿4
A proverb says, ’education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not know ,it means teaching them to behave as they do not believe” . for me ,you are a good teacher to help me make differences .
I am so stressful when I stand befor a lot of people ,so it Is hard for me to make a speech in public. In order to overcome my drawback ,I chose the class that you teach .the first time I met you ,I found you are so kind to us ,what is more ,you are patience .no matter how bad the speech we made ,you always encourage us to go ahead. Owing to this reason, I had made twice speech ,even though I knew how bad It is .
There were two things that you gave me a deep impression:
On one class ,I read a conversation that appeared in ppt. you walked towards me ,and said: this is a conversation ,not an article “ I did not know what I s you point that time ,so you read it for me . at last ,I got it .after that case ,when I read the conversation or make conversation with my parterner ,I will think of you suggestion .thus ,I believe I will so a good job next time .
what is more , you help me to become more inimi.
Oneday My parterner illed ,so he did not keep me company to the class .so I was alone . but we had a conversation ,I could do nothing but to read it myself ,by that time ,you asked me to make the conversation with the girl who Is behind me .and you told me that a boy should be more i….what you said give me a deep impression and I know the next time what I supposed to do .
what I want to talk is more than what I have talked .
the class you taught Is called “spoken english ”.this is a pratical class. Many people interested in it and decide to learn it .as it is know to all ,almost of us have a poor spoken level. So it is hard for you to encourage us to practice our spoken English . however ,you told us that all of us should make at least a speech at the end of the semester in the first class. Besides, we also have to make several conversations with our parterner. Though some students were disagree with you ,but in my view, you have made a wise decision.
In our class , first ,we will have enough time for our speech. In general, every class we would have four classmates to give us their speech. of course ,some speech is pretty good ,the student could make his idea clear and prounouce well. But most of the speech is just so so. but you inspired us everytime.
Second ,we will learn some useful sentence for our spoken english , we usually have a conversation in this part. Third ,we will watch a video. Sometimes , we will have a short story which is meaningful in the blackboard ,then you will help us to learn something from it . every week , I was very glad to have your class for the sake of you charming .
In here , I want to tell you that you have done a good job to us ,I am proud of you . in fact ,most teachers in your position are just complish their job ,you will get a good grade no matter how you really learn in his or her class . however ,in my mind ,you are different .first and formost, you are responsible to your class .that is to say , you try your best to help us improve our spoken English . and you always prepared for the class .so we could learn something new in your class ,this is the reason why I am so interest in this class. Then ,you were a wise men for you know a lot .in your class ,we not barely learn English ,but we also learn something else . for example ,we would know the custome in other country or something about Chinese history .last but not least , you are kind and patience .
Every coin has two sides . in my opinion ,you are so kind to these who absence for class . there are about 100 students apply for the class ,but there always just half of them appear in
class.
You are a good teacher. yes,I think so !best wishies to you .
英語演講稿5
演講從一個故事開始：
a stormy nightin hong kong.
香港一個風雨交加的夜晚。
a young man who asked his girlfriend out on adate canceled the date and stayed at home because of the bad weather. meanwhile, in the same apartment building, a pregnant lady who was lying in bed already, suddenly decided to drive out to grab some food. as she was driving back in the heavy rain, the lightning struck her building. and she saw the whole building collapsing in front of her in the storm.
公寓中的一名男孩，本已約了女友外出，出門時因風雨太大，就臨時取消了約會而逗留家中。
而公寓中另一位有孕在身、本已臥床休息的少婦，因想吃點東西而獨自駕車外出。
當她冒著風雨駕車返回時，發(fā)現(xiàn)整棟公寓竟然在風雨中倒塌了……
all the residents of that building, including the young man, lost their lives in that accident. yet the pregnant lady survived.
包括那名男孩在內(nèi)的公寓中其他居民都喪身在倒塌的公寓與山泥之中，而孕婦卻幸免于難。
this is a story of fate by author, kuang ni from hong kong. dead oralive, all depended on that one thought. is this a made-up story, or a true reflection of our lives?
這是香港作家倪匡筆下一個耐人尋味的命運故事。
一念之間，生死兩重天。
這到底只是作家的藝術創(chuàng)作，還是生活的真實寫照?
you have probably also experienced how one decision potentially leads to adramatic and different result. so is it accidental, or inevitable? does destiny exist? if so, how is it formed? can it be changed? how do we change it?
你可能也經(jīng)歷過這種事情，因為一個決定而產(chǎn)生了截然不同的結果。
那么，這是偶然還是必然?命運真的存在嗎?如果存在，它又是怎樣形成的?可以被改變嗎?如何才能改變?
my dad published a book titled enlightenment in XX. it’s a book about buddhism and its wisdom that may help you in life. i say “a life-changing book” here because first of all, it is what the chinese characters on the cover mean; secondly it is my own father’s book and of course i want to sell it; but thirdly, it indeed is “alife-changing book.”
我父親于XX年出版了《覺悟》一書。
這是一本關于用佛教智慧改變我們生命的書。
我說“this is a life-changing book(一本足以改寫你生命的書)”，因為首先，這本書的封面上的確寫著這些中文字;其次，這是我父親的書，我當然想推銷它;(笑聲)第三，這的確是一本足以改寫你生命的書。
ever since he published book, he has wanted me to translate his book when i grow more proficient in english. i doubt that i have the ability to translate his book yet, but i’d like to take this opportunity to share some bits and parts of his insights on buddhism; especially those on zen buddhism that have helped me in my life. this speech will partially be a rough translation of the first chapter of his book, as he wishes, and partially my personal experience with zen.
自從他出版這本書以后，我父親就希望我能幫他翻譯成英語。
當然，我不覺得我現(xiàn)在的英語水平夠去翻譯這整本書，但是我希望借這個機會，能分享一些他對佛法的見解，尤其是在我成長的過程中對我有很大幫助的禪學。
這次演講的一部分內(nèi)容會是《覺悟》一書部分章節(jié)的簡單翻譯(算是如我父親所愿)，還有一部分是我自己的修心、修行經(jīng)歷。
since the day we’re born, we’ve stepped into a huge maze with only one exit. the exit leads to the tranquil middle path that buddhism is looking for. and only by finding the right road can we exit the maze that is full of suffering. different thing shappen to different people in our lives, but you should know that every hardship or impasse you face comes from the seeds of your past ignorance and presumptuous acts. there’s nothing we could do with things that already happened, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop searching for the way out. in fact, according to buddhist teaching, if we wake up from the ignorance, we can definitely leave the maze.
從出生之日起，我們就像步入了一個只有唯一出口的巨大迷宮。
佛教正是要幫助你找到這個給你帶來解脫的唯一出口。
唯有找到這個出口，我們才能從滿是痛苦的迷宮中走出來。
每個人在生命中都經(jīng)歷著不同的事情。
但不管在你的生命中發(fā)生了什么，要知道，現(xiàn)在你所遇到的每一個障礙或絕境，都來自過去的無知和妄行埋下的種子。
已經(jīng)發(fā)生的'結果，我們無力改變，但并不意味著我們必須停下探索的腳步。
事實上，佛教認為，只要我們從無知中醒來，就一定能走出迷宮。
there is a kind of dandelion in canada that cangrow out of the ground again even if it’s been pulled out by its roots. some specialists latter found out that this kind of dandelion has roots that are eight meters down into the earth, and at the end of the roots, there’s a seed. even if the roots are taken out, the dandelion can grow out again because of its seed.
加拿大有一種生命力特別旺盛的蒲公英，即便你將它連根拔起，不久它還會從地下長出新的來。
后來，經(jīng)過專家的深入研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，它的根須特別長，竟然頑強地扎入地下八米的深處，并且須根的盡頭有一粒種子，就算須根斷了，蒲公英也照樣會因這粒種子而再次破土重生。
deep down in our hearts, there’s aseed as well. without us noticing, the seed has been developing roots, blooming flowers, and even bearing bitter fruits. although we hate these bitter fruits, we have no idea where they come from. so after trying and failing every time,the fruits remain. they remain because we have only tried to solve the problems on the surface, like taking out the roots of the dandelion but not the seed.
在我們內(nèi)心深處，也深埋著一顆種子。
不知不覺間，這顆潛伏著的種子在不斷地發(fā)芽開花，并結滿了各式各樣苦澀的果子。
雖然我們討厭那些苦澀的果子，但由于并不知道它們究竟來自何方，所以就算用盡了各種方法，卻總是失望地發(fā)現(xiàn)無法根除它。
因為，我們總是治標而不治本。
就像人們只是鏟除地上的蒲公英，或者雖然拔出了蒲公英的根須，卻將那顆種子留在了地下一樣。
the seed that is deep down in our hearts is called “ego,” – the source of all ofour troubles and pain. our hearts should be spacious and open, capable of taking in anything. we are the universe, and the universe is us. we are allone. but when the “ego” starts to develop, we start to separate ourselves from the whole.
深埋于我們內(nèi)心深處的那顆種子叫“自我”，它是我們?nèi)松磺袩⿶篮屯纯嗟脑搭^。
我們的心，本來應該像虛空一樣，可以容納一切。
一切和我們沒有對立，一切就是我們，我們就是一切。
我們和整體沒有分割。
當我們有了自我，我們就開始分割和比較，“我”從整體中獨立了出來。
then based on our preferences and experience, our hearts start to have limited capacity. our hearts are no longer big enough to accommodate everything.the more specific preferences we develop, the smaller our hearts become. after a certain time, we start to hang on to the ego and develop different feelings because of it. we experience love and happiness, but also pain and suffering.the ego is a doubled-edged-sword. is there a way to use it only for good without any bad effects?
接著，因著我們的喜好、經(jīng)驗，心的大小容量就顯露出來了，我們的心不再可以容納一切了。
隨著我們分割的東西越來越多，心的容量也就隨之變得越來越小。
自我變成了一道過濾外界事物的屏障，將我們和整體分割了開來。
接著，我們就慢慢執(zhí)著于這個自我，經(jīng)過一定階段的熏習和積累，因“我”而產(chǎn)生了愛和幸福，但也帶來了相應的痛苦和煩惱。
它是一把雙刃劍。
那么有沒有辦法把這把雙刃劍用好，只使其發(fā)揮有益的作用而不產(chǎn)生負面作用呢?
the ultimate goal is to get rid of the separation between us and thewhole. and to do that, buddhism divides the cultivation of this life style into three steps: discipline, meditation, and wisdom. our hearts are like candles, swaying in the breeze of desire. discipline is like adding a glass jar around the candle, separating the breeze so it no longer affects the candle light. meditation is the process the flame takes to stop swaying. and wisdom is the growing light as the flame comes to stillness.
佛教的最終目的是助你回本歸真。
為此，佛教將修行分為“戒、定、慧”三個步驟。
若把我們的心比喻成蠟燭，那么蠟燭會在風中搖曳(各種利益誘惑或逆境打擊)，很容易熄滅，如果給蠟燭加上個玻璃罩(就是“戒”)，它就慢慢從搖曳中靜下來(就是“定”)。
于是燭光會越來越明亮(就是“慧”)。
i’ve been going to boarding schools since i was seven. once after a stressful week, i went home with a grumpy look. noticing my anxiousness, my dad asked me to take a walk with him. along the narrow path were numerous streetlights; some were luminous and some were dusky. he pointed at one tha twas covered in dust and asked me, “remember your happiest moments? right now your brightness is covered by the dust of doubts and fears just like this streetlight. but the light is in you, you just need clear the dust off.” i realized that any situation is controllable with the right attitude.
七歲起，我就讀住宿學校。
有次周末回家時我滿心煩惱。
父親注意到后要我和他出去散散步。
那是一條滿是路燈的小道，有的明亮而有的昏暗。
父親指著一盞滿是灰塵的路燈問我：“記得你最開心的時候嗎?現(xiàn)在你內(nèi)心的光亮被憂慮和恐懼的灰塵遮蓋住了，就像這盞燈一樣。
但是光就在你心中，你只需清除你心燈上的塵埃。
”我意識到，只要保持正確的心態(tài)，我能戰(zhàn)勝任何困難。
that led to my emotional flow chart. the x-axisindicates the date of the week. the y-axis has a scale of 1-5, one meaning extreme negative emotion and five meaning extreme positive emotion.
此后父親為我設計了一張情緒記錄表。
x軸為日期，在y軸上標上1-5分的分值(1分表示極其低落的情緒，5分表示非常興奮的情緒)。
(上圖為倪聞萱小時候的心情日記截圖)
in the beginning, the lines are shaky like astock market graph. i noticed that i might have a day of 1 right after a day of5. but as i pay more attention to my feelings, the lines start to get flatter,and tend to settle at 3 and 4. i’m not saying that i’m totally incontrol of my emotion now, but this chart has definitely helped me to be more aware of myself, and thus remain more logical when facing any situation.
起初，這張表就像動蕩的股票市場圖。
有時我會前一天是5分，第二天卻僅得到1分。
但當我開始觀照起自己的情緒時，它就變得慢慢平穩(wěn)下來，經(jīng)常徘徊在3和4之間。
我并不是說現(xiàn)在我能完全控制自己的情緒了，但是這張表對我的情緒控制起了很大的作用，面對問題時也變得更加理性。
an easier way to make yourself more aware of your emotional flow without this chart, is talking to yourself. when you’re lying in bed ready to go to sleep, instead of grabbing your phone, consider taking that half an hour, or even just five minutes, to have a conversation with yourself. ask yourself, “how are you?” and let your subconscious talk to you.
還有一個更簡單的，不用填寫任何表格的方法——和自己對話。
當你晚上躺在床上準備入睡前，試試放下手機，用那半小時，甚至僅僅五分鐘，和自己對話。
問問自己，“你感覺怎么樣?”讓你的潛意識和你說說話。
let’s try this. please close your eyes, and go through everything that happened to you yesterday. how was your day? where would you mark your day on a scale of 1-5? obviously the fluctuations of a day’s emotion will be like a heart beat. but try to average out thehighs and lows and mark your dot. did something or someone make you really happy? did you make someone else’s day better? was there a time when you could have been more kind? or was there a time you lost control? and what caused your emotional flows? what do you want your day to be like today? i hope this mini meditation helps you recollect yourself on the anxious last day of school before break.
讓我們現(xiàn)在就試試。
請閉上你的眼睛，想想昨天一天發(fā)生的所有事情。
你昨天一天怎么樣?(大家閉上了眼睛，在回憶)1-5分，你會給自己打幾分?當然，你的一天不可能保持同樣情緒。
嘗試把開心與不開心的時候平均一下，你會給自己打幾分?(停頓了幾秒)是什么事或什么人讓你開心了?(停頓了幾秒)有沒有因為你的緣故讓別人過得更好?(停頓了幾秒)有沒有某個瞬間，你的情緒失控了?(停頓了幾秒)是什么造成了你的情緒波動?(停頓了幾秒)你希望今天一天怎樣度過?(停頓了幾秒)我希望這個短短的自我對話，能幫助你在春假前的最后一天沉靜下來。
now i’ll leave you with a formula–
1 *(past) + 2* (now) = variable (future)
you could not change your past circumstances, but by adjusting your present mindset, you have the capacity to dramatically alter your future.
最后我想給你們一個公式——
1*(過去)+ 2*(現(xiàn)在)= 未知(未來)
你無法改變過去已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事，但如果你能調(diào)整好你當下的狀態(tài)，你就能收獲一個意想不到的未來。

英語演講稿7
What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way.
Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly.
And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.

It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness bypursuing it。 This is only true if you pursue it unwisely。 Gamblers at MonteCarlo are pursuing money，and most of them lose it instead，but there are otherways of pursuing money which often succeed。 So it is with happiness。 If youpursue it by means of drink，you are forgetting the hang—over。 Epicurus pursuedit by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread，supplementedby a little cheese on feast days。 His method proved successful in his case，buthe was a valetudinarian，and most people would need something more vigorous。 Formost people，the pursuit of happiness，unless supplemented in various ways，istoo abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life。 But Ithink that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not，exceptin rare and heroic cases，be incompatible with happiness。
There are a great many people who have all the material conditions ofhappiness，i。e。 health and a sufficient income，and who，nevertheless，areprofoundly unhappy。 In such cases it would seem as if the fault must lie with awrong theory as to how to live。 In one sense，we may say that any theory as tohow to live is wrong。 We imagine ourselves more different from the animals thanwe are。 Animals live on impulse，and are happy as long as external conditionsare favorable。 If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmthand opportunities for an occasional night on the tiles。 Your needs are morecomplex than those of your cat，but they still have their basis in instinct。 Incivilized societies，especially in English—speaking societies，this is too aptto be forgotten。 People propose to themselves some one paramount objective，andrestrain all impulses that do not minister to it。 A businessman may be soanxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and privateaffections。 When at last he has become rich，no pleasure remains to him exceptharrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example。 Many richladies，although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure inliterature or art，decide to be thought cultured，and spend boring hourslearning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written togive delight，not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism。
If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy，you willsee that they all have certain things in common。 The most important of thesethings is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you areglad to see coming into existence。 Women who take an instinctive pleasure intheir children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family。Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their ownwork seems good to them。 But there are many humbler forms of the same kind ofpleasure。 Many men who spend their working life in the city devote theirweekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens，and when thespring comes，they experience all the joys of having created beauty。
The whole subject of happiness has，in my opinion，been treated toosolemnly。 It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of lifeor a religion。 Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory mayneed a better theory to help them to recovery，just as you may need a tonic whenyou have been ill。 But when things are normal a man should be healthy without atonic and happy without a theory。 It is the simple things that really matter。 Ifa man delights in his wife and children，has success in work，and finds pleasurein the alternation of day and night，spring and autumn，he will be happywhatever his philosophy may be。 If，on the other hand，he finds his wifefateful，his childrens noise unendurable，and the office a nightmare；if in thedaytime he longs for night，and at night sighs for the light of day，then whathe needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen————a different diet，or moreexercise，or what not。
Man is an animal，and his happiness depends on his physiology more than helikes to think。 This is a humble conclusion，but I cannot make myself disbelieveit。 Unhappy businessmen，I am convinced，would increase their happiness more bywalking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy。
道德家們常說：幸福靠追求是得不到的。只有用不明智的方式去追求才是這樣。蒙特卡洛城的賭徒們追求金錢，但多數(shù)人卻把錢輸?shù)袅�，而另外一些追求金錢的辦法卻常常成功。追求幸福也是一樣。如果你通過暢飲來追求幸福，那你就忘記了酒醉后的不適。埃畢丘魯斯追求幸福的辦法是只和志趣相投的人一起生活，只吃不涂黃油的面包，節(jié)日才加一點奶酪。他的辦法對他來說是成功的，但他是個體弱多病的人，而多數(shù)人需要的是精力充沛。就多數(shù)人來說，除非你有別的補充辦法，這樣追求快樂就過于抽象和脫離實際，不宜作為個人的生活準則。不過，我覺得無論你選擇什么樣的生活準則，除了那些罕見的和英雄人物的例子外，都應該是和幸福相容的。
很多人擁有獲得幸福的全部物質(zhì)條件，即健康的身體和豐足的收入，可是他們非常不快樂。就這種情況來說，似乎問題處在生活理論的錯誤上。從某種意義上講，我們可以說任何關于生活的理論都是不正確的。我們和動物的區(qū)別并沒有我們想象的那么大。動物是憑沖動生活的，只要客觀條件有利，它們就會快樂。如果你有一只貓，它只要有東西吃，感到暖和，偶爾晚上得到機會去尋歡，它就會很快活。你的.需要比你的貓要復雜一些，但還是以本能為基礎的。在文明社會中，特別是在講英語的社會中，這一點很容易被忘卻。人們給自己定下一個最高的目標，對一切不利于實現(xiàn)這一目標的沖動都加以克制。生意人可能因為切望發(fā)財以致不惜犧牲健康和愛情。等他終于發(fā)了財，他除了苦苦勸人效法他的好榜樣而攪得別人心煩外，并沒有得到快樂。很多有錢的貴婦人，盡管自然并未賦予她們?nèi)魏涡蕾p文學或藝術的興趣，卻決意要使別人認為她們是有教養(yǎng)的，于是他們花費很多煩人的時間學習怎樣談論那些流行的新書。這些書寫出來是要給人以樂趣的，而不是要給人以附庸風雅的機會的。
只要你觀察一下周圍那些你可稱之為幸福的男男女女，就會看出他們都有某些共同之處。在這些共同之處中有一點是最重要的：那就是活動本身，它在大多數(shù)情況下本身就很有趣，而且可逐漸的使你的愿望得以實現(xiàn)。生性喜愛孩子的婦女，能夠從撫養(yǎng)子女中得到這種滿足。藝術家、作家和科學家如果對自己的工作感到滿意，也能以同樣的方式得到快樂。不過，還有很多是較低層次的快樂。許多在城里工作的人到了周末自愿地在自家的庭院里做無償?shù)膭趧樱禾靵頃r，他們就可盡情享受自己創(chuàng)造的美景帶來的快樂。
在我看來，整個關于快樂的話題一向都被太嚴肅的對待過了。過去一直有這樣的看法：如果沒有一種生活的理論或者宗教信仰，人是不可能幸福的。也許那些由于理論不好才導致不快樂的人需要一種較好的理論幫助他們重新快活起來，就像你生過病需要吃補藥一樣。但是，正常情況下，一個人不吃補藥也應當是健康的；沒有理論也應當是幸福的。真正有關系的是一些簡單的事情。如果一個男人喜愛他的妻子兒女，事業(yè)有成，而且無論白天黑夜，春去秋來，總是感到高興，那么不管他的理論如何，都會是快樂的。反之，如果他討厭自己的妻子，受不了孩子們的吵鬧，而且害怕上班；如果他白天盼望夜晚，而到了晚上又巴望著天明，那么，他所需要的就不是一種新的理論，而是一種新的生活————改變飲食習慣，多鍛煉身體等等。
人是動物，他的幸福更多的時候取決于其生理狀況而非思想狀況。這是一個很庸俗的結論，然而我無法使自己懷疑它。我確信，不幸福的商人與其找到新的理論來使自己幸福，還不如每天步行六英里更見效。

My biggest dreamsWe all have dreams.
Different people have different dreams.
Some people dream of being rich or famous, some people dream of staying young forever.
I also have a lot of dreams.
But my biggest dream is to speak beautiful English.Maybe you will ask me why.
Because I’d like to be a volunteer for the 20xx Olympics.
As a volunteer, I will meet many foreign visitors.
If I can speak beautiful English, I will be able to communicate with them better.
And I will be able to help them learn more about Beijingand learn more about China.To achieve my dream, I’ve made great efforts.
During this Spring Festival, I went to LiYang Crazy English Intensive Training Camp in Guangzhou.
I learned a lot there.
Since I came back home, I’ve kept listening and speaking English on the road, on the bus, in the school and at home.
I believe practice makes perfect.As the proverb says, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
I’m sure my dream will come true in the near future.

You trust, I wouldn't like to impeach Clinton impeachment trouble, I will not die not to walk.
Now that is a flower, I'm going to open; Now that is a tree, I would grow into pillars; Since this is stone, I will go to spread out the road; Since this is the class cadre, I would become an excellent pilot!

Good morning everybody, I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.
We all know that Bingxin has a famous saying “we always admire the beauty of flowers but its sprout was watered by tears of struggle and rained by blood of sacrifice”. So for the majority, behind their success, are filled of sweat and tears. Eagle flying in the vast firmament, must be experienced the pain of countless times fall under the cliff, then hammered out a pair of volley wings. A shinning of pearls, inevitably suffered countless body friction and numerous waves’ shock.
In this view, a real successful people, and he must experienced numerous times to stand up again and agin after failed, because without sweat and tears on the life road ,no one can casually get the beautiful flowers. Alfter a heavy fall Shi Tiesheng lost his legs, it must be a heavy blow for anyone. But he didn't lose faith in life, but use his brain and hands to show the infinite love of life;
Beethoven was blind and deaf, but he still had written the "Hero""Destiny"nd so on a large number of music works, in his unfortunately life, he doggedly gripped the "fate of the throat. They all had a fall, but they are strong enough to stand up, fight against fate and misfortune, finally they succeed. So for each of us, wrestling is not terrible, lose confidence and courage in life is the most terribe thing. In my opionion, the sweat and tears during the life’ journey are very important for us, they hone our will, and enrich our experience. As the saying goes, how can you see the rainbow without a rainy day, while you don't work hard and not struggle, how can you gain the successful flowers.
All in all, the sweat and tears on the struggling road is inevitable, don’t look for shortcuts anymore, steadfast walk every step, we will succeed in the end. So belief yourself, nothing is impossile, just do it. Thank you for taking your time to listen to my speech, I hope in the near future we all can be successful.

Since the quality of honesty applies to all behaviors, one cannot refuse to consider factual information, for example, in an unbiased manner and still claim that one's knowledge, belief or position is an attempt to be truthful. Such a belie
f is clearly a product of one's desires and simply has nothing to do with the human ability to know. Basing one's positions on what one wants — rather than unbiased evidence gathering — is dishonest even when good intentions can be cited — after all even Hitler could cite good intentions and intended glory for a select group of people. Clearly then, an unbiased approach to the truth is a requirement of honesty.
Because intentions are closely related to fairness and certainly affect the degree of honesty/dishonesty, there is a wide spread confusion about honesty--and a general belief that being dishonest means that one ALWAYS correctly understands if their behavior is either honest or dishonest. Self-perception of our morality is non-static and volatile. It's often at the moment we refuse to consider other perspectives that there is a clear indication we are not pursuing the truth, rather than simply and exclusively at the moment we can muster up evidence that we are right. Socrates had much to say about truth, honesty and morality, and explained that if people really understood that their behavior was wrong — then they simply wouldn't do it — by definition. Unfortunately, honesty in the western tradition has been marginalized to specific instances — perhaps because a thorough understanding of honesty collides with ideologies of all types. Ideologies and idealism often exaggerate and suppress evidence in order to support their perspectives — at the eXPense of the truth. This process erodes the practice and understanding of honesty. To an ideologist the truth quite often becomes insignificant, what matters most are their ideals and what ever supports their desires to enjoy and spread those ideals.
Human beings are inherently biased about what they believe to be good due to individual tastes & backgrounds, but once one understands that a decidedly biased approach to what is true — is inherently dishonest, one can also understand how idealism and ideology have poorly served the quest for an honest, moral society. Both honesty and morality require that we base our opinions about what is good — upon unbiased ideas of what is TRUE — rather than vice versa (determining what is true based on what we feel is good) — the way all ideologies would have us believe.

Dear classmates:
It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.
About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me. While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.” I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition! As it turned out, my dear old professor was right.
Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears and that makes all the difference! Thank you.

In our daily lives，we have many choices to make，such as what to eat for supper，what clothes to wear，or what to do on weekends. At certain times in our lives，we need to make even more critical choices，such as which school to attend，what job to take or who to choose as husband or wife.Yes，life is a mater of choice. Seemingly，it means a choice of tangible things. But in essence，it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived，saved，and enjoyed，not to be wasted or complained about. Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the grave threat from the life-and-death disease-SARS. Yet，even during those dreadful times，some afflicted people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing neutral white masks，some people turned to colorful ones and thus display a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean“Smile And Remain Smiling .” I was deeply touched by their optimistic，nearly forgetting that we are still in a battle，people who survive these kinds of circumstances，decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the overwhelming odds.
Laid-off workers typically regarded as the victims of economic advancement，are subject to desperation that being unemployed has brought on them. But encouragingly，we have witnessed some of them striving hard to rebuild confidence toward life and discover new opportunities for demonstrating their values.
Although we cannot choose our appearance，inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities，we do have the privilege to choose to live optimistically，to love our lives，to have dreams，and to cherish hopes.Every morning when we get up，we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day. As for me，I choose to be cheerful.

Harry S. Truman: "The Truman Doctrine"
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Congress of the United States:
The gravity of the situation which confronts the world today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the Congress. The foreign policy and the national security of this country are involved. One aspect of the present situation, which I present to you at this time for your consideration and decision, concerns Greece and Turkey. The United States has received from the Greek Government an urgent appeal for financial and economic assistance. Preliminary reports from the American Economic Mission now in Greece and reports from the American Ambassador in Greece corroborate the statement of the Greek Government that assistance is imperative if Greece is to survive as a free nation.
I do not believe that the American people and the Congress wish to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the Greek Government. Greece is not a rich country. Lack of sufficient natural resources has always forced the Greek people to work hard to make both ends meet. Since 1940, this industrious, peace loving country has suffered invasion, four years of cruel enemy occupation, and bitter internal strife.
When forces of liberation entered Greece they found that the retreating Germans had destroyed virtually all the railways, roads, port facilities, communications, and merchant marine. More than a thousand villages had been burned. Eighty-five per cent of the children were tubercular. Livestock, poultry, and draft animals had almost disappeared. Inflation had wiped out practically all savings. As a result of these tragic conditions, a militant minority, exploiting human want and misery, was able to create political chaos which, until now, has made economic recovery impossible.
Greece is today without funds to finance the importation of those goods which are essential to bare subsistence. Under these circumstances, the people of Greece cannot make progress in solving their problems of reconstruction. Greece is in desperate need of financial and economic assistance to enable it to resume purchases of food, clothing, fuel, and seeds. These are indispensable for the subsistence of its people and are obtainable only from abroad. Greece must have help to import the goods necessary to restore internal order and security, so essential for economic and political recovery. The Greek Government has also asked for the assistance of experienced American administrators, economists, and technicians to insure that the financial and other aid given to Greece shall be used effectively in creating a stable and self-sustaining economy and in improving its public administration.
The very existence of the Greek state is today threatened by the terrorist activities of several thousand armed men, led by Communists, who defy the government's authority at a number of points, particularly along the northern boundaries. A Commission appointed by the United Nations security Council is at present investigating disturbed conditions in northern Greece and alleged border violations along the frontiers between Greece on the one hand and Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia on the other.
Meanwhile, the Greek Government is unable to cope with the situation. The Greek army is small and poorly equipped. It needs supplies and equipment if it is to restore authority of the government throughout Greek territory. Greece must have assistance if it is to become a self-supporting and self-respecting democracy. The United States must supply this assistance. We have already extended to Greece certain types of relief and economic aid. But these are inadequate. There is no other country to which democratic Greece can turn. No other nation is willing and able to provide the necessary support for a democratic Greek government.
The British Government, which has been helping Greece, can give no further financial or economic aid after March 31st. Great Britain finds itself under the necessity of reducing or liquidating its commitments in several parts of the world, including Greece.
We have considered how the United Nations might assist in this crisis. But the situation is an urgent one, requiring immediate action, and the United Nations and its related organizations are not in a position to extend help of the kind that is required.
It is important to note that the Greek Government has asked for our aid in utilizing effectively the financial and other assistance we may give to Greece, and in improving its public administration. It is of the utmost importance that we supervise the use of any funds made available to Greece in such a manner that each dollar spent will count toward making Greece self-supporting, and will help to build an economy in which a healthy democracy can flourish.
No government is perfect. One of the chief virtues of a democracy, however, is that its defects are always visible and under democratic processes can be pointed out and corrected. The Government of Greece is not perfect. Nevertheless it represents eighty-five per cent of the members of the Greek Parliament who were chosen in an election last year. Foreign observers, including 692 Americans, considered this election to be a fair expression of the views of the Greek people.
The Greek Government has been operating in an atmosphere of chaos and extremism. It has made mistakes. The extension of aid by this country does not mean that the United States condones everything that the Greek Government has done or will do. We have condemned in the past, and we condemn now, extremist measures of the right or the left. We have in the past advised tolerance, and we advise tolerance now.
Greek's neighbor, Turkey, also deserves our attention. The future of Turkey, as an independent and economically sound state, is clearly no less important to the freedom-loving peoples of the world than the future of Greece. The circumstances in which Turkey finds itself today are considerably different from those of Greece. Turkey has been spared the disasters that have beset Greece. And during the war, the United States and Great Britain furnished Turkey with material aid.
Nevertheless, Turkey now needs our support. Since the war, Turkey has sought financial assistance from Great Britain and the United States for the purpose of effecting that modernization necessary for the maintenance of its national integrity. That integrity is essential to the preservation of order in the Middle East. The British government has informed us that, owing to its own difficulties, it can no longer extend financial or economic aid to Turkey. As in the case of Greece, if Turkey is to have the assistance it needs, the United States must supply it. We are the only country able to provide that help.
I am fully aware of the broad implications involved if the United States extends assistance to Greece and Turkey, and I shall discuss these implications with you at this time. One of the primary objectives of the foreign policy of the United States is the creation of conditions in which we and other nations will be able to work out a way of life free from coercion. This was a fundamental issue in the war with Germany and Japan. Our victory was won over countries which sought to impose their will, and their way of life, upon other nations.
To ensure the peaceful development of nations, free from coercion, the United States has taken a leading part in establishing the United Nations. The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members. We shall not realize our objectives, however, unless we are willing to help free peoples to maintain their free institutions and their national integrity against aggressive movements that seek to impose upon them totalitarian regimes. This is no more than a frank recognition that totalitarian regimes imposed upon free peoples, by direct or indirect aggression, undermine the foundations of international peace, and hence the security of the United States.
The peoples of a number of countries of the world have recently had totalitarian regimes forced upon them against their will. The Government of the United States has made frequent protests against coercion and intimidation in violation of the Yalta agreement in Poland, Rumania, and Bulgaria. I must also state that in a number of other countries there have been similar developments.
At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative ways of life. The choice is too often not a free one. One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression. The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio, fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms.
I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.
I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way.
I believe that our help should be primarily through economic and financial aid which is essential to economic stability and orderly political processes.
The world is not static, and the status quo is not sacred. But we cannot allow changes in the status quo in violation of the Charter of the United Nations by such methods as coercion, or by such subterfuges as political infiltration. In helping free and independent nations to maintain their freedom, the United States will be giving effect to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
It is necessary only to glance at a map to realize that the survival and integrity of the Greek nation are of grave importance in a much wider situation. If Greece should fall under the control of an armed minority, the effect upon its neighbor, Turkey, would be immediate and serious. Confusion and disorder might well spread throughout the entire Middle East. Moreover, the disappearance of Greece as an independent state would have a profound effect upon those countries in Europe whose peoples are struggling against great difficulties to maintain their freedoms and their independence while they repair the damages of war.
It would be an unspeakable tragedy if these countries, which have struggled so long against overwhelming odds, should lose that victory for which they sacrificed so much. Collapse of free institutions and loss of independence would be disastrous not only for them but for the world. Discouragement and possibly failure would quickly be the lot of neighboring peoples striving to maintain their freedom and independence.
Should we fail to aid Greece and Turkey in this fateful hour, the effect will be far reaching to the West as well as to the East.
We must take immediate and resolute action. I therefore ask the Congress to provide authority for assistance to Greece and Turkey in the amount of $400,000,000 for the period ending June 30, 1948. In requesting these funds, I have taken into consideration the maximum amount of relief assistance which would be furnished to Greece out of the $350,000,000 which I recently requested that the Congress authorize for the prevention of starvation and suffering in countries devastated by the war.
In addition to funds, I ask the Congress to authorize the detail of American civilian and military personnel to Greece and Turkey, at the request of those countries, to assist in the tasks of reconstruction, and for the purpose of supervising the use of such financial and material assistance as may be furnished. I recommend that authority also be provided for the instruction and training of selected Greek and Turkish personnel. Finally, I ask that the Congress provide authority which will permit the speediest and most effective use, in terms of needed commodities, supplies, and equipment, of such funds as may be authorized. If further funds, or further authority, should be needed for purposes indicated in this message, I shall not hesitate to bring the situation before the Congress. On this subject the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government must work together.
This is a serious course upon which we embark. I would not recommend it except that the alternative is much more serious. The United States contributed $341,000,000,000 toward winning World War II. This is an investment in world freedom and world peace. The assistance that I am recommending for Greece and Turkey amounts to little more than 1 tenth of 1 per cent of this investment. It is only common sense that we should safeguard this investment and make sure that it was not in vain. The seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and want. They spread and grow in the evil soil of poverty and strife. They reach their full growth when the hope of a people for a better life has died.
We must keep that hope alive.
The free peoples of the world look to us for support in maintaining their freedoms. If we falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world. And we shall surely endanger the welfare of this nation.
Great responsibilities have been placed upon us by the swift movement of events.
I am confident that the Congress will face these responsibilities squarely.
