英語演講稿1
In the summer recess between freshman and sophomore years in college, I wasinvited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp hosted by a collegein Michigan. I was already highly involved in most campus activities, and Ijumped at the opportunity.
About an hour into the first day of camp, amid the frenzy of icebreakersand forced interactions, I first noticed the boy under the tree. He was smalland skinny, and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear frail andfragile. Only 50 feet away, 200 eager campers were bumping bodies, playing,joking and meeting each other, but the boy under the tree seemed to want to beanywhere other than where he was. The desperate loneliness he radiated almoststopped me from approaching him, but I remembered the instructions from thesenior staff to stay alert for campers who might feel left out.
As I walked toward him I said, “Hi, my name is Kevin and I’m one of thecounselors. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
In a shaky, sheepish voice he reluctantly answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him if he wanted to join the activities and meet some newpeople. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could sense that he was in a new world, that this whole experience wasforeign to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. Hedidn’t need a pep talk, he needed a friend. After several silent moments, myfirst interaction with the boy under the tree was over.
At lunch the next day, I found myself leading camp songs at the top of mylungs for 200 of my new friends. The campers were eagerly participated. My gazewandered over the mass of noise and movement and was caught by the image of theboy from under the tree, sitting alone, staring out the window. I nearly forgotthe words to the song I was supposed to be leading. At my first opportunity, Itried again, with the same questions as before: “How are you doing? Are youokay?”
To which he again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really getinto this stuff. ”
As I left the cafeteria, I too realized this was going to take more timeand effort than I had thought — if it was even possible to get through to him atall.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my concerns about himknown. I explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and askedthem to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.
The days I spend at camp each year fly by faster than any others I haveknown. Thus, before I knew it, mid-week had dissolved into the final night ofcamp and I was chaperoning the “last dance”. The students were doing all theycould to savor every last moment with their new “best friends” — friends theywould probably never see again.
As I watched the campers share their parting moments, I suddenly saw whatwould be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy from under the tree,who stared blankly out the kitchen window, was now a shirtless dancing owned the dance floor as he and two girls proceeded to cut up a rug. Iwatched as he shared meaningful, intimate time with people at whom he couldn’teven look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was him. In October of mysophomore year, a late-night phone call pulled me away from my chemistry book. Asoft-spoken, unfamiliar voice asked politely, “Is Kevin there?”
“You’re talking to him. Who’s this?”
“This is Tom Johnson’s mom. Do you remember Tommy from leadership camp?”
The boy under the tree. How could I not remember? “Yes, I do”, I said.“He’s a very nice young man. How is he?”
An abnormally long pause followed, then Mrs. Johnson said, “My Tommy waswalking home from school this week when he was hit by a car and killed.”Shocked, I offered my condolences.
“I just wanted to call you”, she said, “because Tommy mentioned you so manytimes. I wanted you to know that he went back to school this fall withconfidence. He made new friends. His grades went up. And he even went out on afew dates. I just wanted to thank you for making a difference for Tom. The lastfew months were the best few months of his life.”
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself everyday. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tellthis story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for theirown “boy under the tree.”
在大一到大二之間的那個暑假,密歇根的一所大學主辦一次中學學生干部夏令營,邀我擔任輔導員。對于校園的多數活動,我都持贊同態度并積極參與,那次我同樣欣然接受了。
頭一天活動進行大約一個鐘頭,我注意到,開始活躍的營員們興致濃厚,不太自然地互動起來,而樹下卻有一個孤零零的男孩。他身材矮小,瘦弱不堪,那明顯的不安和羞怯使他顯得不堪一擊。在只有五十英尺遠的地方,二百名充滿激情的營員正在玩耍、開玩笑并互作介紹,而樹下的男孩似乎除了想呆在原地,不想去任何地方。他流露出的極度孤獨令我幾乎難以靠近,但我沒忘記資深輔導員們的提示:對可能感覺受到冷落的營員要保持警惕。
我走向那個男孩,對他說:“嗨!我叫凱文,是你們的輔導員。很高興認識你,你好嗎?”
帶著顫抖的怯生生的聲音,他勉強答道:“我想——還好吧!
我平靜地問他想不想投入到那些活動從而結識一些人,他輕聲回答:“不,那不關我的事!
我能感覺到他在面對一個新的環境,這種體驗對他來說是全然陌生的。也不知為什么,我覺得強迫他加入也不妥當。他不需要鼓勵性的講,他需要的是朋友。幾次沉默之后,我和樹下男孩的接觸就此結束。
第二天吃午飯的時候,我扯開嗓門,領著二百名剛認識的新朋友唱起了營歌。營員們都熱情參與,我的目光游移于這群人,忽然那個“樹下男孩”的樣子吸引了我的注意:他孤零零地坐著,眼瞅著窗外。我幾乎忘記了領唱的歌詞。只要一有機會,我就會照舊用那些話問他:“你怎么樣?你好嗎?”
他的回答依然是:“嗯,我很好。我真地不想參與那種事兒。”
我離開自助餐廳的時候充分認識到,扭轉這種狀況所需的時間和所做的努力要比我想像的要多——即便是在能讓他徹底“迷途知返”的情況下。
在當晚的全體工作人員會議上,我告訴了他們我對他的擔憂。我向同事們說明他給我留下的印象,請求他們對他給以特別的關注,并盡可能花時間和他在一起。
每年我在營地度過的日子總是一晃而過,感覺比其它時間過得快。這次同樣如此。我還沒明白過來,星期三已成過去,露營的最后一晚來到了。我伴隨營員們跳起“最后的舞蹈”。學生們都在竭力品味跟新“摯友”在一起的最后每一刻——他們或許以后再也見不到面了。
營員們共度這難忘的分別時刻,這時我突然目睹了我一生都記憶最清晰的一幕:那個曾透過廚房窗戶茫然盯著外面的樹下男孩,此時卻成了不穿襯衫的跳舞奇才。他和兩個女孩跳著搖擺舞,在舞池里到處舞動。我注視著他跟大家共享這親密無間又意義深長的時刻,而僅僅幾天前他卻對他們連瞧也不瞧一眼。判若兩人,讓我無法相信。
我大二那年的十月,深夜的`一個電話讓我放下化學課本,一個柔和卻生疏的聲音彬彬有禮地問道:
“凱文在嗎?”
“我就是,您是哪位?”
“我是湯姆?約翰遜的母親,您還記得那個參加夏令營的湯米嗎?”
樹下的那個男孩,我怎么會不記得呢?
“我記得!蔽艺f,“他是個很不錯的小伙子,他現在情況怎么樣?”
長長的反常沉默過后,約翰遜夫人又說道:“湯米這個星期從學;丶业臅r候,一輛汽車撞了他使他辭別人世!蔽腋械秸痼@,向她表示我的哀悼。
“我給您打電話,”她說,“只因為湯米好多次說起過您。我想讓您知道,他今年秋季返校時有了自信心,交了新朋友,學習成績提高了,甚至還出去約會過幾次。我只想表達我的感激之情,因為是您改變了他。最后的這幾個月是他度過的生命中最美好的時光!
在那一刻,我意識到,你每天奉獻出一點點還是容易得很,你可能永遠都不知道你的舉動對他人的影響有多大。我常常講起這個故事,每當講起的時候,我總是力勸別人也注意一下他們自己的“樹下男孩”。
英語演講稿2
how many people here in this room smile more than 20 times per day? raise your hand if you do. oh, wow. outside of this room, more than a third of us smile more than 20 times per day, whereas less than 14 percent of us smile less than five.
in fact, those with the most amazing superpowers are actually children who smile as many as 400 times per you ever wondered why being around children who smile so frequently makes you smile very often? a recent study at uppsala university in sweden found that its very difficult to frown when looking at someone who smiles.
you ask, why? because smiling is evolutionarily contagious, and it suppresses the control we usually have on our facial muscles. mimicking a smile and experiencing it physically help us understand whether our smile is fake or real, so we can understand the emotional state of the smiler.

Thursday morning at school, I got four agents young movie tickets for all vouchers, I see, ah! 3 d movies? I can't seen 3 d movies. What's the difference between "what stereoscopic film and common film? Do I have to go and see." I said to himself.
Came to the classroom, I and my good friend Luo Kaiyun agreed during the National Day get to the cinema to see 3 d movie.
Easy to look forward to in the National Day, half past nine, I carried on film label and money, like a bottle of an arrow into the cinema. Arrived at the cinema, Luo Kaiyun have been waiting at the door, we hurry to buy a stereo glasses, as people into theaters, find a seat to sit. Three-dimensional film began. I'll take off glasses and a look at the screen, with ordinary film is no different, only the edge of the red, yellow, hazy outline. To wear glasses, yi! Those who like jumped out of the screen, walked over to me. Thought: this is stereoscopic film. Next, the butterfly flew in front of my eyes, seemed to stretch out my hand can get; Figure dangling in front of me; Killing passing speed seems to me; The sword stab to me; Monster as if to swallow me up, frighten I left hide right shine, heart pounding, stimulation and clinking. All of a sudden, I saw m hill iron claw straight towards my stamp, quickly close to me, "ah, arrest me?" I was scared, and instinctively recoiled hide in the body under the chair, heart like to jump out of the throat. Gee, I don't see any action, I take off glasses a look, turned out to be a movie, I really put it. An hour and a half, I have spent in stimulation, scary.
Things in the past, but I will never forget.
英語演講稿4
“once upon a time,there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. to all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. one day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." well, you know the rest. the three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.
and the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "and they live happily every after."
why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, i would say, so unimaginative? how can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? because, i think, it is a typical success story. it is highly philosophical and symbolic. by implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
the story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. the reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. if a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. the term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. but as i understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. to clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
if we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away david seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another david, namely david beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. if we further changed the rules by not allowing arsenal's defenders to defend, so that beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. in accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. the sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
譯文
“從前,有一個國王有一個女兒就像盛開的玫瑰一樣美麗。所有追求者來到王宮里要求公主的手,老國王指派完成三個任務,每一個幾乎不可能的。有一天,國王的宮殿是一個年輕英俊的王子……“嗯,你知道。不同版本的三個任務可能會有所不同,但主要情節總是相同的,得意地宣稱王子公主的手。
和結局總是一樣的,完成與行“每后,他們幸福地生活在一起!
為什么不我們厭倦了一些幻想,不現實,我想說,如此缺乏想象力?故事怎么能這樣忍受一代又一代的重復”?因為,我認為,這是一個典型的成功故事。它是高度哲學和象征性。通過暗示,我們看到一個分4步的成功的定義:1)所代表的一個目標是集美麗的公主;2)挑戰,為代表的三個任務;3)克服困難的過程中,所代表的考驗的青春經歷,和4)成功的獎勵,如所代表的幸福的婚姻。
這個故事不僅迎合每個人的內心渴望成功,但也強調了過程和結果的不可分離性。成功的獎勵會放大很多如果路徑主要是危險的,反之亦然。如果一個人繼承了他父親的數百萬和領導一個簡單的'生活,在物質財富方面他甚至不是一個成功的人,因為他沒有困難參與實現富裕。“成功”這個詞,可以肯定的是。不會坐著容易定義。但隨著我的理解,成功的真正含義需要兩者的結合的過程和滿意的結果努力。闡明我的觀點,讓我給另一個類比。
如果我們改變了足球的規則,大大擴大了目標和打發大衛·希曼或任何其他守門員,這樣另一個大衛,大衛·貝克漢姆,可以輕易得分,然后得分不會給他帶來的成就感和快樂,興奮。如果我們進一步改變了規則不允許阿森納的后衛防守,所以貝克漢姆只需要抬起手指,腳趾,分數,然后就沒有游戲,因為勝利的意義就會消失了。在接受挑戰,克服困難,在忍受苦難,成功獲得它的價值。成就的感覺不同比例的程度上克服困難。

we are the world ,we are the future
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.
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 ofrosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. it?s the matter of the will. it?s the freshness of the deep spring oflife.
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 .
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 ofbeauty , 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 ral 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 er 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 , it is in our hands. it is held in ourselves.
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 about it. failure doesn?t mean you don?t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. failure doesn?t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
as what i said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. the past has gone. nothing we do will change it. but the future is in front of us. believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. and from today on, let?s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “we are the world, we are the future.”

I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years. I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted. But one of the panel members told me: "You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged." My life has never been the same since. I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.
As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party. Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English. Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf. To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. As the dwarf, I was a big hit.
Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.
A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.
Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world. I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites. I would rather be myself. I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. Please, be yourself.
譯文:我重樹信心
大學生活的幾年里,當我參加第一次面試時,我的自信心受到了沉重的打擊。我向“學生劇團”申請出演一個主角,而且我十分自信地認為我會被錄用。但是,其中有個劇團成員告訴我:“你似乎不太合適出演這個角色,因為你的身高有點問題!蔽覐奈从龅竭^這種情況。我穿著高跟鞋來彌補我的身高,采用心理策略和技巧來掩蓋自己信心的缺乏。但是,不論我怎樣努力進入角色,感覺還是缺少些什么。
作為英語俱樂部的主席,我為英語晚會組織排演了《白雪公主》短劇。不幸的是,我們找不到合適的人選出演最后一個小矮人。這個角色必須生性幽默,英語流利。突然,所有人的目光都轉向了我,我知道那個小矮人就是我了。讓我極度奇怪而又高興的是,一上臺,我完全投入到演出中,而且我那幽默的'天性被發揮得淋漓盡致。作為一個‘’小矮人”,我取得了巨大的成功。
的確,我們中的任何一個人都是千百萬中的一員,但我們中的每個人都是一個與眾不同的個體。發揮我們自己的個性會改變我們的生活,使它們成為美麗的萬花筒。
失去了多樣性的世界是個冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲劇不是個矮、害羞或丑陋,而是將自己的個性迷失在一個克隆的世界里,那里到處都是典型的酷男孩或無瑕、迷人的好姑娘。
如果讓我選擇,我寧可面貌五陋,也不愿生活在這樣一個世界里。我寧可做一個伴隨“白雪公主”的真實的小矮人,也不愿做“白雪公主”世界里的一個白雪公主。

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!

Transcr ipt of Apple CEO Tim Cook's commencement address at Tulane University
蘋果CEO蒂姆·庫克杜蘭大學畢業典禮演講致詞
Hello Tulane! Thank you President Fitts, Provost Forman, distinguished faculty, other faculty (laughs), and the entire Tulane family, including the workers, ushers, (and) volunteers who prepared this beautiful space. And I feel duty-bound to also recognize the hard-working bartenders at The Boot. Though they're not here with us this morning, I'm sure some of you are reflecting on their contributions as well. (The Boot is a popular college bar right next to Tulane's campus which has been around for decades.)
你好,杜蘭大學!感謝菲茨校長、福爾曼教務長、尊敬的教職員工、其他教職員工[笑]以及整個杜蘭大家庭,包括為這個美麗的講堂做準備的工作人員、引座員和志愿者。我覺得我有責任也稱贊一下在The Boot工作的辛勤的調酒師。雖然他們今天早上沒有和我們在一起,但我相信你們中的一些人也在反思他們的貢獻。[The Boot是一家受歡迎的大學酒吧,緊挨著杜蘭大學校園,已經存在了幾十年了。]
And just as many of you have New Orleans in your veins, and perhaps your livers, some of us at Apple have New Orleans in our blood as well. When I was a student at Auburn, the Big Easy was our favorite getaway. It's amazing how quickly those 363 miles fly by when you're driving toward a weekend of beignets and beer. And how slowly they go in the opposite direction. Apple's own Lisa Jackson is a proud Tulane alum. Yes. She brought the Green Wave all the way to Cupertino where she heads our environment and public policy work. We're thrilled to have her talent and leadership on our team.
就像你們中很多人的血管里也許還有肝臟里有新奧爾良一樣,我們蘋果公司的一些人的血液里也有新奧爾良。當我還是奧本大學的學生的時候,我們最喜歡的度假勝地是Big Easy。非常神奇的是,當你在周末開車駛向這個勝地,想象著甜甜圈和啤酒的時候,363英里的距離似乎一閃而過;而當你返程時,路途卻顯得那么遙遠。蘋果的員工麗莎-杰克遜(LisaJackson)是一位令人驕傲的杜蘭大學校友。是。她把綠色浪潮一路帶到了庫比蒂諾,在那里她領導著我們的環境和公共政策工作。我們很高興她能在我們的隊伍中發揮才華和進行領導。
OK, enough about us. Let's talk about you. At moments like this, it always humbles me to watch a community come together to teach, mentor, advise, and finally say with one voice, congratulations to the class of 20xx!
好了,別再提我們了。讓我們談談你們。在這樣的時刻,看到一個社區聚集在一起傳道受業解惑,最后用一個聲音說,祝賀20xx年的同學們,這讓我感到很謙卑!
Now there's another very important group: your family and friends. The people who, more than anyone else, loved, supported, and even sacrificed greatly to help you reach this moment. Let's give them a round of applause. This will be my first piece of advice. You might not appreciate until much later in your life how much this moment means to them. Or how that bond of obligation, love, and duty between you matters more than anything else.
現在還有一個非常重要的群體:你們的家人和朋友。那些比任何人都更愛你們、更支持你們、甚至甘愿自我犧牲的人,為了幫助你們達到這一時刻,他們付出了巨大的代價。讓我們為他們鼓掌。這將是我的第一條建議。直到你生命的后期,你們才會意識到這一刻對他們來說有多么重要,或者意識到你們的義務、愛和責任有多么重要。
In fact, that's what I really want to talk to you about today. In a world where we obsessively document our own lives, most of us don't pay nearly enough attention to what we owe one another. Now this isn't just about calling your parents more, although I'm sure they'd be grateful if you did that. It's about recognizing that human civilization began when we realized that we could do more together. That the threats and danger outside the flickering firelight got smaller when we got bigger. And that we could create more - more prosperity, more beauty, more wisdom, and a better life - when we acknowledge certain shared truths and acted collectively.
事實上,這就是我今天真正想和你們說的。在一個我們沉迷于記錄自己生活的世界里,我們中的大多數人對我們彼此虧欠的東西沒有給予足夠的關注。這不僅僅是給你們的父母打更多的電話,盡管我相信如果你們會這么做,他們會很感激的。當我們意識到我們可以在一起做更多的事情時,人類文明就開始了。當我們變得更越來越強大時,在閃爍的火光之外的威脅和危險就會變得越來越小。我們可以創造更多——更多的繁榮,更多的美,更多的智慧,更美好的生活——只要我們承認某些共同的真理并采取集體行動。
Maybe I'm biased, but I've always thought the South, and the Gulf Coast in particular, have hung on to this wisdom better than most. (Tim Cook grew up in Robertsdale, Alabama, which is about an hour from New Orleans and is similarly close to the Gulf of Mexico.) In this part of the country, your neighbors check up on you if they haven't heard from you in a while. Good news travels fast because your victories are their victories too. And you can't make it through someone's front door before they offer you a home-cooked meal.
也許我有偏見,但我一直認為南方,特別是墨西哥灣海岸,比大多數人更能堅持這一智慧。[庫克在阿拉巴馬州的羅伯茨代爾長大,那里距離新奧爾良大約一個小時的路程,同樣靠近墨西哥灣。]在這個國家的這個地方,如果你們的鄰居有一段時間沒有你們的消息,他們會忍不住來看望你們。好消息傳得很快,因為你們的勝利也是他們的勝利。在他們提供一頓熱飯熱菜招待你們之前,你們是不可能走出大門的。
Maybe you haven't thought about it very much, but these values have informed your Tulane education too. Just look at the motto: not for one's self, but for one's own. You've been fortunate to live, learn, and grow in a city where human currents blend into something magical and unexpected. Where unmatched beauty, natural beauty, literary beauty, musical beauty, cultural beauty, seem to spring unexpectedly from the bayou. The people of New Orleans use two tools to build this city: the unlikely and the impossible. Wherever you go, don't forget the lessons of this place. Life will always find lots of ways to tell you no, that you can't, that you shouldn't, that you'd be better off if you didn't try. But New Orleans teaches us there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than trying. Especially when we do it not in the service of one's self, but one's own.
也許你們還沒有想太多,但這些價值觀也影響了你們杜蘭大學的教育。看看這句座右銘:不是為了自己,而是為了自己人。你們很幸運地生活、學習和成長在一座城市里,在這個城市里,人類的潮流融合成了一種神奇的、意想不到的東西。在那里,無與倫比的美,自然的美,文學的美,音樂的美,文化的美,似乎不期而至地從河口涌出。新奧爾良的人們使用兩種工具來建造這座城市:不太可能的和不可能的。無論你走到哪里,都不要忘記這個地方的教訓。生活總會找到很多方法來告訴你,不,你不能,你不應該,如果你不去嘗試,你會過得更好。但是新奧爾良告訴我們,沒有什么比嘗試更美麗和更有價值了。尤其是當我們這樣做不是為自己服務,而是為自己人服務的時候。
For me, it was that search for greater purpose that brought me to Apple in the first place. I had a comfortable job at a company called Compaq that at the time looked like it was going to be on top forever. As it turns out, most of you are probably too young to even remember its name. But in 1998, Steve Jobs convinced me to leave Compaq behind to join a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. They made computers, but at that moment at least, people weren't interested in buying them. Steve had a plan to change things. And I wanted to be a part of it.
對我來說,正是為了追求更偉大的目標,我才第一次來到蘋果。我曾在一家叫康柏(Compaq)的公司找到了一份舒適的工作,在當時看來,這份工作將永遠是的工作。事實證明,你們中的大多數人可能還太年輕,甚至不記得它的名字。但在1998年,史蒂夫-喬布斯說服我離開康柏,加入一家瀕臨破產的蘋果公司。他們制造電腦,但至少在那一刻,人們對購買這些電腦并不感興趣。史蒂夫有個改變一切的計劃。我也想成為其中的一員。
It wasn't just about the iMac, or the iPod, or everything that came after. It was about the values that brought these inventions to life. The idea that putting powerful tools in the hands of everyday people helps unleash creativity and move humanity forward. That we can build things that help us imagine a better world and then make it real.
這不僅僅是iMac,或者iPod,或者之后的一切,而是使這些發明創意復活的價值觀念。把強大的工具放在普通人手中將有助于釋放創造力和推動人類向前發展。我們可以建造一些東西來幫助我們想象一個更美好的世界,然后讓它成為現實。
There's a saying that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. At Apple, I learned that's a total crock. You'll work harder than you ever thought possible, but the tools will feel light in your hands. As you go out into the world, don't waste time on problems that have been solved. Don't get hung up on what other people say is practical. Instead, steer your ship into the choppy seas. Look for the rough spots, the problems that seem too big, the complexities that other people are content to work around. It's in those places that you will find your purpose. It's there that you can make your greatest contribution. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of being too cautious. Don't assume that by staying put, the ground won't move beneath your feet. The status quo simply won't last. So get to work on building something better.
有句諺語說,如果你做你喜歡做的事,你的人生中將永遠不會有一天是在工作。在蘋果公司,我知道了這是一個徹頭徹尾的謊言。你會比你想象的更努力工作,但你卻一點也不覺得費勁。當你走進這個世界的時候,不要把時間浪費在已經解決的問題上。不要為別人所說的是實際的情況而心煩意亂。相反,引導你的船進入波濤洶涌的大海。尋找那些蠻荒之地,那些看起來還很難解決的問題,那些其他人樂于解決的復雜問題。在那些地方,你會找到你的目標。在那里你可以做出你的貢獻。無論你做什么,都不要犯太謹慎的錯誤。不要以為原地不動,地面就不會在你腳下移動,F狀根本不會持久。所以開始做些更好的事吧。
In some important ways, my generation has failed you in this regard. We spent too much time debating. We've been too focused on the fight and not focused enough on progress. And you don't need to look far to find an example of that failure. Here today, in this very place, in an arena where thousands once found desperate shelter from a 100-year disaster, the kind that seem to be happening more and more frequently, I don't think we can talk about who we are as people and what we owe to one another without talking about climate change.
在某些重要的方面,我們這代人辜負了你們。我們花了太多時間辯論。我們一直太專注于斗爭,而沒有把足夠的注意力放在進步上。你不需要看太遠就能找到失敗的例子。今天,就在這個地方,在這個成千上萬人曾經絕望地躲避百年災難的地方,這種災難似乎變得越來越頻繁。我認為,如果我們不談論氣候變化,我們就無法談論我們是誰,以及我們彼此虧欠了什么。
(applause) Thank you. Thank you.
謝謝!謝謝!
This problem doesn't get any easier based on whose side wins or loses an election. It's about who has won life's lottery and has the luxury of ignoring this issue and who stands to lose everything. The coastal communities, including some right here in Louisiana, that are already making plans to leave behind the places they've called home for generations and head for higher ground. The fishermen whose nets come up empty. The wildlife preserves with less wildlife to preserve. The marginalized, for whom a natural disaster can mean enduring poverty.
這個問題不會因為誰勝誰負而變得簡單,這是一個關乎誰贏了人生彩票、誰有忽視這個問題的能力、誰會失去一切的問題。沿海社區,包括路易斯安那州的一些社區,已經在計劃離開世代以來被稱為“家園”的地方,前往更海拔更高地方。如今漁民的漁網空空如也、野生動物生計蕭條。對于生存在邊緣地區的人來說,自然災害往往就意味著持久的貧困。
Just ask Tulane's own Molly Keogh, who's getting her Ph.D. this weekend. Her important new research shows that rising sea levels are devastating areas of Southern Louisiana more dramatically than anyone expected. Tulane graduates, these are people's homes. Their livelihoods. The land where their grandparents were born, lived, and died.
問問杜蘭大學的莫莉·基奧(Molly Keogh)就知道了,她這個周末就要拿到博士學位了。她的一項重要新研究表明,海平面上升對路易斯安那州南部地區造成的破壞比任何人預想的都要嚴重。杜蘭大學的畢業生們,這些地方都是人們的家園、他們的生計、他們祖父母出生、生活和去世的地方。
When we talk about climate change or any issue with human costs, and there are many, I challenge you to look for those who have the most to lose and find the real, true empathy that comes from something shared. That is really what we owe one another. When you do that, the political noise dies down, and you can feel your feet firmly planted on solid ground. After all, we don't build monuments to trolls, and we're not going to start now.
當我們談論氣候變化或任何與人類成本有關的問題時,我有很多問題希望你們能夠著手去做:去尋找那些因此損失的人,并從一些共同的東西中找到真正的、真正的同理心,這才是我們真正虧欠彼此的東西。當你這樣做的時候,政治上的喧囂就會平息下來,你會感到自己的'腳牢牢地踩在了堅實的土地上。畢竟,我們從來不為巨魔建造紀念碑,也不會現在開創這個先例。
If you find yourself spending more time fighting than getting to work, stop and ask yourself who benefits from all the chaos. There are some who would like you to believe that the only way that you can be strong is by bulldozing those who disagree or never giving them a chance to say their peace in the first place. That the only way you can build your own accomplishments is by tearing down the other side.
如果你發現自己花在斗爭上的時間比上班的時間還多。那么停下來,問問自己誰能從所有這些混亂中受益。有些人想讓你相信,你能變得強大的方法,就是制服那些不同意你觀點的人,或者從一開始就不給他們機會表達自己的機會。他們想讓你相信,你能成就自己的方法就是摧毀對方。
We forget sometimes that our preexisting beliefs have their own force of gravity. Today, certain algorithms pull toward you the things you already know, believe, or like, and they push away everything else. Push back. It shouldn't be this way. But in 20xx, opening your eyes and seeing things in a new way can be a revolutionary act. Summon the courage not just to hear but to listen. Not just to act, but to act together.
我們有時會忘記,我們先前存在的信念有其自身的引力。今天,某些算法會把你已經知道、相信或喜歡的東西主動拉向你,而把其他的東西推開,但事情本不應該如此。然而在20xx年,睜開眼睛、以一種全新方式看待事物可能是一種革命性的行為。你不僅要鼓起勇氣去聽,還要有勇氣去聽。不僅僅是行動,而是要一起行動。
It can sometimes feel like the odds are stacked against you, that it isn't worth it, that the critics are too persistent and the problems are too great. But the solutions to our problems begin on a human scale with building a shared understanding of the work ahead and with undertaking it together. At the very least, we owe it to each other to try.
有時候你會覺得機會對你不利、覺得這么做不值得、覺得批評之聲太過頑固,亦或覺得問題太大(超出了自己的處理能力)。但是,解決我們當下問題的辦法首先就是在人類范疇內建立對今后工作的共同理解,并著手共同解決這一問題。至少,我們也應該放手一搏。
It's worked before. In 1932, the American economy was in a free-fall. Twelve million people were unemployed, and conventional wisdom said the only thing to do was to ride it out, wait, and hope that things would turn around. But the governor of New York, a rising star named Franklin Roosevelt, refused to wait. He challenged the status quo and called for action. He needed people to stop their rosy thinking, face the facts, pull together, and help themselves out of a jam.
這樣的方式在之前曾成功過。1932年,當時的美國經濟一落千丈,有1200萬人失業。傳統觀點認為,我們能做的就是撐過這段時間、等待,并希望情況會有所好轉。但當時政途冉冉升起的紐約州州長富蘭克林o羅斯福(Franklin Roosevelt,后就任美國第32任總統,美國歷連任超過兩屆的總統)拒絕等待。他敢于挑戰現狀,呼吁采取行動。他呼吁人們停止繼續抱有樂觀的想法,面對現實、齊心協力,幫助自己擺脫困境。
He said: "The country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it and try another. But above all, try something."
他說:“這個國家需要一些大膽、持續的嘗試。采取一種方法并加以嘗試是再正常不過的事情。如果失敗了,我們就承認失敗,然后再試一次。但最重要的是,我們需要嘗試一些東西!
This was a speech to college students fearful about their future in an uncertain world. He said: "Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world."
這是一場對大學生的演講,他們擔心自己在一個不確定世界里的未來。他(羅斯福)說:“你們的任務不是在世界上開辟自己的道路,而是改造世界!
The audacious empathy of young people, the spirit that says we should live not just for ourselves, but for our own. That's the way forward. From climate change to immigration, from criminal justice reform to economic opportunity, be motivated by your duty to build a better world. Young people have changed the course of history time and time again. And now it's time to change it once more.
年輕人無畏的同情心告訴我們,我們不僅要為努力生活,而且要為自己而活。這是一條前進的道路,從氣候變化到移民、從刑事司法改革到經濟機遇,我們都要以建設一個更美好世界的責任為動力。此前的年輕人一次又一次地改變了歷史的進程,現在是時候再次改變了。
I know, I know the urgency of that truth is with you today. Feel big because no one can make you feel small. Feel brave because the challenges we face are great but you are greater. And feel grateful because someone sacrificed to make this moment possible for you. You have clear eyes and a long life to use them. And here in this stadium, I can feel your courage.
我知道,今天你們所接觸到真相帶來的緊迫性。大膽一些,因為沒有人能讓你感到弱小。勇敢一些,因為我們面臨的挑戰是巨大的,但你們將更加偉大。懂得感恩,因為已經有人為你們生活在的當下做出了犧牲,讓這一刻成為可能。你們擁有一對清澈的眼睛,人生的道路也還很長。在這個體育場,我能感受到你們的勇氣。
Call upon your grit. Try something. You may succeed. You may fail. But make it your life's work to remake the world because there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than working to leave something better for humanity.
呼喚你的勇氣。嘗試,你可能會成功,也可能會失敗。但是,請讓改造世界成為你自己的人生工作,因為沒有什么比為人類留下更好的東西更具價值。
Thank you very much, and congratulations class of 20xx!
非常感謝,祝賀20xx屆的畢業生們!

If there are a bunch of good and bad oranges, you should eat good oranges and throw away bad oranges; if you first eat bad oranges, good oranges will deteriorate, and you will never eat good oranges, life is also the case. Oranges are not the only fuit .It means that there are a lot of good things in life, we cant only pursue the only one.
It tells us that people should know how to give up the bad and cherish the good. "If you cry only by missing the moon, then you will also miss the stars. "Everyone must know how to forget the past and cherish the present, because now is the most important.
Everyone has the past, or happy, or sad. However, the past is only in the past, we cannot go back to the past and bury it deeply in our heart. Most of the time we live in the sun, living in the crowd. Only by knowing how to give up the past we can go further forward. We will always keep optimistic attitude to face all, and we will have great courage in the struggle on the road of life.
如果有一群好的和壞的桔子,你應該吃好橘子和扔掉壞橘子,如果你先吃壞橘子,好橙子會惡化,而且你永遠不會吃橙子好,生活也是如此。橘子不是唯一的`水果。這意味著有很多好東西在生活中,我們不能只追求唯一的一個。

Life is a mirror. If we smile to her, she would also return the happinessto us. But if we cry, she would be disappointed. Therefore, we should bepositive toward life, so as to get happiness.
Actually, happiness is everywhere if we keep a good attitude. As we keep agood mood, our world will be a sunny land, which is resounded with soft ver, if we are pessimists, we'll find our world is full of darkness.
While on the other side, happiness is not a destination but a use there's no paradise at all, but we can make a paradise if we'rehard-working and intelligent. So we should work like we don't need money, smilelike we've never been hurt, and perform ourselves like no one can see us.

Teachers, students, Hello, everybody!
Each of us has a family, also love their home, but you know we have a common house? - That is our planet! Earth is our common "home", and is a very beautiful home, then there is blue sky with white clouds, a tree with red flowers, birds contention, how beautiful all the ah, but that we have not thought about how to protect the earth ? October 15, 20xx astronaut Yang Liwei and the family telephone said excitedly, "I - see our beautiful home", which sounds from space, how many Chinese people moved, the number of foreigners Yeah.
Today, however, when we again face the "beauty of our home", we can also say? Blue sky, how life used to be a brilliant landscape, now trapped in the gray, the clean air become very close to a desire to dream. Faced with an increasingly serious air pollution, looking at the sky, you say? Know of a small village called Demonstration of field do? The place was surrounded by the Castle Peak, Green River Flows, a beautiful place ah! However, the villagers are aware of the environment, no one important, they are deforestation, land reclamation, deforestation, forest gradually disappeared, the stream gradually dry, well water gradually withered. Today, this no longer see the mountains and never see green water, and the village people use very little water, wash your face, then keep feet, and finally carefully pour the water in a vat .... .. keep pouring in ah xxx This is a natural right to their punishment, which is the earth for their ambitions ah!
Students is only one earth. Earth is our lovely "home"! Let us join hands, for our home planet to create a better tomorrow.

Confidence,which is not only the faith in your abilities, but also the faith of pursuit of firm target in yourself, is the first secret of success. With it, you can go toward the shore of victory. When at a low ebb of the Chinese revolution, xxx believed that "a single spark can start a prairie fire". ChenYi believed "repeated action can not take off" he was confident. In short, self-confidence refers to the navigation towards victory, as is the driving force of progress.
Inferior tends to look at the advantages of others too much, overweight, and this is a lack of understanding of their strengths. Someone who has so heavy psychological pressure makes himself passive. Inferior psychological barrier limits the development of ability, making them lose the chance of success, ultimately nothing. Humble and out of the shadow, there must be sunny days ahead! In both the "thousand goddess of mercy" dancing miracle of the spotlight, the actors are in the faith and destiny of the strong, overcoming the inferiority, their performance won the audience's warm applause, deeply loved by people.
Overcoming self-abased and developing confidence is our inevitable choice.
Conceit and inferiority are extreme psychological. Swellheads smug after some achievements, even defiant, arrogance. These people even had made some achievements, but it was just a flash in the pan. Xiang yu in the struggle played a great role,but temporary military advantage made him blind. The results had been defeated by Liu Bang, the former hero. At last Xiang Yu committed suicide by Wujiang river .
We want to believe in ourselves, but not conceited. I do not give up. Choose confidence, overcome being self-abased, and being away from the ego, which is the requirement of the new century, and is the pursuit of perfect personality. "Talk about heroes, you can find someone today", xxx was full of self-confidence, who will always inspire us to move forward.

雖然說工作中最經常使用的溝通工具是電話和郵件,但是,有的時候不方便打電話而且沒辦法查收郵件的時候,外企白領一般是用短信來溝通的。但是大家都知道,中文的短信比較容易發,但是如果你要給外籍同事或老板發短信的時候,就只能輸英文了。所有人都對這件事情很頭痛,的確太麻煩,要一個字母一個字母地輸。下面是一些關于英文短信的技巧,不知道是否對需要跟老外溝通的白領們有所幫助。
1、text me!發我短消息!
用英文寫短信的困難在于拼寫,拼一個單詞就可能花費你很長的一段時間。因此,現在許多人都通過縮短單詞來加快拼寫的速度。這樣做節省了時間,但是如果不熟悉這些常用的'縮寫規則,你就會感到很困惑。另外,書寫簡練短信的第一步就是掌握英文。
短信可分為兩個基本部分:首字母縮寫和縮略。
2、acronyms首字母縮寫
首字母縮寫是由每個單詞的第一個字母組合而成的,比如un就是指united nations.短信里,首字母縮寫常常被用在習慣用語中。另外,發聲相似的詞會被字母取代。請看一些例子:
oic- oh i see.
brb - be right back
bfn - bye for now
lol - laughing out loud
asap - as soon as possible
btw - by the way
fyi - for your information
jk - just kidding
ttyl - talk to you later
英語演講稿18
I have a dream today. 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.
