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.”

Good afternoon, ladies and Gentlemen. Today I’d like to begin with a story.We all know that Chinese, as a nation has a long history about 5000 years, andwe feel very proud of our brilliant and splendid culture. Owing to that, myfather always told me: “you would suffer loss if you don’t follow old people’swords.” Besides I was taught everyday to learn Peking Opera. If some boy who isabout 16 years old sings Peking Opera in the classroom now, I’m afraid he willbe laughed at. JAY’s “Qian Li Zhi Wai ”seems more popular to you.
So we may wonder does our tradition get out of the modern lifeAbsolutelynot. What we need is just a peace of innovation. Here is a question:What isinnovationInnovation was an ancient dream flying into the outer space;innovation today, is the amazing convenience and intelligence that a singlemobile phone in your pocket could bring to you.
There is no more then a battle between tradition and innovation, which isthe rain and water relationship, not only tradition like fish without water,again good innovation will also become the castles in the air, there wont belasting vitality. Only both of them are perfectly together will bear fruits ofsuccess as well.
With the economic globalization becoming increasingly intensive, innovationhas become one of central topics around the world. Many countries see it as thekey to develop their economy. Our government, with no exception, regard it as "the soul of our nation." Based on advanced function system and excellentmanagement, factories are booming and enhance overall national economy. Highlydevelopment of electronic commerce is also a significant factor for improvingour living standards. The enlargement of our authority to the recruit ofgraduate and improvement of the conditions of scientists and skilled workers......
From all above, innovation has already became a kind of habit. There is nodoubt we would surprise the world by creating more and more amazing innovationstaking advantages of not only our intelligence but innovation. I’m sureinnovation has became one of the symbols in Chinese tradition and will be markof our bright future!
Thanks for your attention. Thank you very much.

Strength:
I feel that my strongest asset is my ability to stick to things to get them done. I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as I’d planned. I’ve set some high goals for myself. For example, I want to graduate with highest scores. And at last, I become one of the outstanding graduates in Chong Qing University after a lot of study. Besides, I am good at building mathematical models and analyzing questions with economic methods.
Weakness:
I'm such a perfectionist that I will not stop until a job is well done.
Achievements: I had acquired the first prize by designing models on Mathematical modeling in 20xx; besides, I had help my teachers to analyze the Warrant pricing by varieties methods.

I promise, I will use my whole ability to improve myself and get the primary accomplishment in my major and do a useful man for our school!
Personally, for today's China, the foundation of the development of Economic is the advancement of transportation equipment. That’s to say, we should do our best to make contribution to improve our transportation equipment to ensure the development of Economic.
Only when our transportation equipment is great enough, our economic can get big achievement.

Good morning dear young fellows from suntrans,
Today is my two months and two days celebration of working in suntrans. This is my first job, and I am very glad tohave it, and to stand here sharing my feelings with all of you.
Today my topic is a little bit long, it is,the happy days of my dear little young fellows and me spent together in our companySuntrans. We had numerous happy days together, and every day is memorable. Itis so long that if I share every moment with you, this meeting may last three days or even longer. So in order to give us time to work, to eat, to go homeand to sleep, I will only share three most memorable moments we had together.
The first memorable moment for me was thecompany activity held in May by our human resources Department. We played games together and had a great time. That day was my 25th birthday, but that is not the most important reason whyI remember it so well. Firstly, I learned our company’s history, and felt thatit is very difficult to start a business, and thought that everyone in ourcompany is very hard working. Secondly, I joined Maple’s team that day,although we almost lost all of the competitions, everyone was so happy andfriendly and my team made me understood the meaning of the phrase– “team spirit”。I began to understand and like our company after that day’s activity.
The second memorable moment for me was the birthday party held in May. I never had such a birthday party before, what’s more, my birthday is the same month as our General Manager Lu, and I felt very honored and grateful. I received a lot of warm celebration words from all of you and a lovely birthday card. I was so moved that day and had the feeling that I am a part of this big family. When I blew off the candles, I made three wishes, firstly, make progress in English, secondly, make progress in Japanese,Thirdly, do my best to become a good translator in Suntrans. I hope my wisheswill come true in the future.
The third memorable moment for me was The Second Experience Exchanging Forum of Mining Investment 20xx. This is the first time I took part in such a big conference, and I was very excited and willing to do something for it. We did work very hard for this conference, and even asked the Dragon Boat Festival to contribute. This conference gave me a great workexperience and taught me many things: for example how to do advertising and marketing, and a great knowledge in mining industry. The most important is, our young fellows’team work is very brilliant, and I love our company more thanever after this conference.
These are the three most memorable moments for me that I spent with all of you in Suntrans, I hope that we can create moreand more in the future.
Thank you all, best wishes with love.

Have you ever heard about Warren Buffet, the second richest person in the world? Well, today I am not going to talk about him but his three kids.
For someone whose parent is such an extraordinarily successful investor, the three kids come out pretty ordinary guys. When they were young, they each received $ 10,000 a year. If they wanted to borrow more money form their father, they have to sign a written agreement. When growing up, however, they all found their lovely jobs-housewife, farmer, musician, instead of relying on their well off father.
It seems that they are unlucky to have a father who criticizes the self-indulgence of super-rich. But is it really true? No, absolutely not! In fact, they are grateful to him because they found their own passion which suits their true talent, and they are able to make money on their own.
So what could we learn from them? Three words: independence, responsibility, passion. Indeed we are fortunate to be protected by the whole family, but this cannot be the reason for us to become boomerang children.
Although we, the generation of 90s have been questioned from the day we were born: selfness and weakness, indifference and rebellion, sensitivity and pride, we are still pressing on with our creed: Yes we can. At a time when the earthquake happened in We chuan, we were praised by the whole public because of the bravery and determination we show during the process of rescuing. Yes we can. When the World Expo was held in Shanghai, the smile on volunteers’ faces impressed millions of people all around the world. Yes we can. When the two kids fell into the river, fifteen freshmen of Chang Jiang University saved them from drowning regardless of the truth that they cannot swim. Yes we can. We were there for the return of Hong Kong and Macao, the Olympic Game in Beijing, the 60th anniversary of founding of New China, and Premier Wen Jiabao who told the survivors in earthquake that “We shall overcome.” Yes we can.
As the only child in the family, however, some of us just like flowers growing in the greenhouse that take for granted, and parents will give them whatever they want, from toys to books, from watches to cell phones, from houses to cars. But apart from this, we have to be independent. Everyone is an individual. You are not your parents’ sequel. You are not your kids’ prequel. You have your own talents and you have to rely on yourselves.
Take responsibility. No one can support you in your whole life. No one

Honorable Judges, fellow students:
Good afternoon!
Recently, there is a heated debate in our society. The college students arethe beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education atextraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and supportourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Willwe be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of ourcountry?
The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, whichwould cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The collegestudents I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We helpeach other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take parttime jobs to supplement our pocket money.
The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect theneed for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeplyfor each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth.

Good morning ! Students, teachers. I’m very glad to stand here and give youa short speech. today my topic is “I love English”. I hope you will like it.
As everyone knows,English is very important today. It has been usedeverywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet andfor international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chanceto succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number ofthe people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and itsusefulness,but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feela different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world. When Iread English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is differentfrom reading the translation. When I speak English, I can feel the confidentfrom my words. When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the sameas our Chinese...
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream. I hope I can travel around theworld one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people fromdifferent countries. I can see many places of great intrests. I dream that I cango to London,because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to theEnglish spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us. I know,Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one dayI can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So Ibelieve as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Thank you!

January first. The beginning of a new year. As far back in history as wecan tell, people have celebrated the start of a new year.
The people of ancient Egypt began their new year in summer. That is whenthe Nile River flooded its banks, bringing water and fertility to the land. Thepeople of ancient Babylonia and Persia began their new year on Marchtwenty-first, the first day of spring. And, some Native American Indians begantheir new year when the nuts of the oak tree became ripe. That was usually inlate summer.
Now, almost everyone celebrates New Years Day on January first. Today, asbefore, people observe the New Years holiday in many different ways.
The ancient Babylonians celebrated by forcing their king to give up hiscrown and royal clothing. They made him get down on his knees and admit all themistakes he had made during the past year.
This idea of admitting wrongs and finishing the business of the old year isfound in many societies at new years. So is the idea of making resolutions. Aresolution is a promise to change your ways. To stop smoking, for example. Or toget more physical exercise.
Noise-making is another ancient custom at the new year. The noise isconsidered necessary to chase away the evil spirits of the old year. Peoplearound the world do different things to make a lot of noise. They may hit stickstogether. Or beat on drums. Or blow horns. Or explode fireworks.
Americans celebrate the New Year in many ways.
Most do not have to go to work or school. So they visit family and friends.Attend church services. Share a holiday meal. Or watch new years parades ontelevision. Two of the most famous parades are the Mummers Parade inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. Bothhave existed for many years.
Americans also watch football on television on New Years Day. Most years,university teams play in special holiday games.
For those who have been busy at work or school, New Years may be a day ofrest. They spend the time thinking about, and preparing for, the demands of thenew year.

It has been two years since I first got to university. Some of myclassmates say that the college life is boring, because they have plenty of timebut do not know what to do. However, from my point of view, the campus life incollege is interesting and colorful as long as you make it meaningful.距我第一次去上大学已经两年了。
我有的同学说大学生活很无聊,因为他们有很多时间却不知道做什么。但是,在我看来,只要你把它变得有意义,大学校园生活是有趣且丰富多彩的。
In the first semester in college, I didn't relax and I still worked hard asI was in the senior school. I usually spent two hours in study at night and Iwent to the classroom forautonomous learning.But the difference is that I havemany extracurricular activities. For example, I went to the English Cornerregularly on Tuesday night, in which I could practice my spoken English and makefriends with common interests.
大学第一个学期,我没有放松,仍然像在高中一样努力学习。晚上我经常花两个小时学习,我会到教室自习。但是不同的是我有很多课外活动。比如,我每周二晚上都去英语角,在那我可以练习我的口语,和有共同兴趣的人交朋友。
Besides, I join the Student Union of my department. In the Student Union, Ihave a group of workmates who work hard together and support to each other.Actually, it looks like a big, warm family that we can share our lives together.During various activities, I realize the importance of team spirit that helps usgo further.
此外,我参加了系里的学生会。在学生会里,我有一群同事,我们一起努力工作并且互相支持。在各种各样的活动中我意识到团队精神的重要性,它能帮助我们走得更远。Finally, college is great stage to improve a student and show one's abilities.In college, I know more about our society and get more channels to explore theoutside world. I realize that I am not only a student but also an adult who ispreparing to step into the society.
最后,大学是提高学生和展现一个人能力的大舞台。在大学里,我对社会有了更多的认识,同时获得了更多探索外面世界的渠道。我意识到我不仅是一个学生也是一个即将踏入社会的成年人。
In short, I cherish my life in college campus and I will try hard to makeit colorful as well as meaningful.
总之,我珍惜我的大学校园生活,而且我会努力使之丰富且富有意义。
英文演讲稿 篇14
Everyone has a dream, want to be a police, want to be a teacher, want to be a novelist... I also have a dream, my dream is to be a scientist.
If grow up, I really became a scientist. I'll watch carefully what on earth have ecological changes, etc., the place with bad, invention related equipment.
I found that the earth environment is becoming worse. I want to invent a kind of electronic bird. It will suck erosion of heaven in the sky fly dust, make the sky more blue. When birds hopping on the ground, it will suck the ground of garbage, let the air becomes more pure and fresh, as you all know, birds can't swim, but electronic birds can swim, it can put the polluted river has become clean and clear.
I also found that the present shortage of resources. I invented a kind of fast forward. It put the resources of rolled to hundreds of years, several thousand years, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of millions of years. But in this period of time, man is not old, resources can be increased.
If the invention is not the good earth, I will invent a kind of speed of the spacecraft, the spacecraft is fully automatic. It can automatically search for habitable planets in space and take the human to the planet. The speed of the spacecraft surface is very small. There is only one double bed so big, but can take ten thousand people at a time. Because of the speed of light, the spacecraft compact so it won't hit the rocks. Planet. And it is very fast, as long as 0.0003 seconds per km back and forth. If really can not find a suitable planet. The speed of light, the spacecraft will be turned into a is bigger than the earth planet for people to live, this planet similar to earth. But in fact it has many functions, the inside of the house is the earthquake of flood control. Cutting trees sprout up immediately. Always very clear fresh air, the air is always blue... .
These are just my dream. But I hope it can become a reality.
每个人都有梦想,想当警察,想当老师,想当小说家……我也有梦想,我的梦想是当科学家。
如果长大,我真的当上了科学家。我会仔细观察地球上有什么生态变化等,不好的地方,发明相关的设备机器。
我发现地球的环境越来越差。我想发明一种电子小鸟。它在天上飞时会吸蚀天上的灰尘,让天上变得更加湛蓝。当小鸟在地上蹦跳时,它会吸走地上的垃圾,让空气变得更加清新,大家都知道,小鸟是不会游泳的,可是电子小鸟却会游泳,它能把被污染的河流变得干净清澈。
我还发现,现在的资源短缺。我发明一种时光飞转器。它的产生把资源的地方飞转到几百年,几千年,几万年,几亿年后。可在这段时间内,人是不会老去的,资源却可以增加。
如果这些发明还不能把地球变好,我就发明一种光速飞船,这个飞船是全自动的。它可以自动查找太空中适合人类居住的星球并带人类去那个星球。这个光速飞船表面很小巧。只有一个双人床那么大,可却能一次带一万人。正因为光速飞船小巧所以它不会撞到陨石。星球。而且它速度很快,来回只要每千米0.0003秒。如果实在找不到适合的星球。光速飞船就会变身成一个比地球还大的星球给人们住,这个星球里面跟地球差不多。可其实它有许多功能,里面的房子是抗震防洪的。树砍掉立刻会长出来。空气永远很清鲜,空气永远湛蓝……。
这些现在还只是我的梦想。但我希望它能变成现实。

A man, she will always occupy the most flexibility in your mind where youwould like to use his life to love her; have a love, it allows you to requestindiscriminately, to enjoy, but do not want you any return ... ... The man,called " mother ", a love, called" Motherhood "!
May 11 is Mother's Day, is our hearts forget the most difficult days. Thisfestival is a mother's praise and praise, is to remind us always remember:Thanksgiving our mother.
Mothers give us life experience, we are grateful; mother so that we grow,our gratitude; mother's education and guidance given to us so that we gainknowledge and strength, and we appreciate; in our life, there are alwaysdifficulties and setbacks the mother to care and help us, we should begrateful.
Thanksgiving is one of love, conscience, kindness, sense of responsibilityand loyalty to the overall performance. Difficult to imagine an enduredsufferings did not support their parents grew up in filial piety, I wonder if inreturn, the teacher, students did not love and respect I do not know who hisfuture with the company, what his country to assume responsibility? Anon-patriotic, do not like home, people who do not love others, how candedicated to building the motherland tomorrow?
英文演讲稿 篇17
When people find out I write about time management, they assume two things.One is that I'm always on time, and I'm not. I have four small children, and Iwould like to blame them for my occasional tardiness, but sometimes it's justnot their fault. I was once late to my own speech on time management.
当人们发现我写关于时间管理的文章时,他们都会假设两件事:第一,我永远都准时,但我并不是。我有四个小孩,我偶尔将迟到归咎于他们,不过有时候真的不是因为他们。我有一次在去我的一个关于时间管理的演讲时迟到了。
We all had to just take a moment together and savor that irony.
我们都需要一点时间去好好地体味一下这有多么讽刺。
The second thing they assume is that I have lots of tips and tricks forsaving bits of time here and there.Sometimes I'll hear from magazines that aredoing a story along these lines, generally on how to help their readers find anextra hour in the day. And the idea is that we'll shave bits of time offeveryday activities, add it up, and we'll have time for the good stuff.
第二,人们总是假设我有很多关于如何节省时间的贴士和技巧。有时候我听说一些杂志在写这方面的故事,通常都是关于教读者如何在一天中获得额外一个小时。基本思路就是从日常的每个活动中挤出一点时间,加起来,然后我们就有时间去做更有意思的事情了。
I question the entire premise of this piece, but I'm always interested inhearing what they've come up with before they call me. Some of myfavorites:doing errands where you only have to make right-hand turns.
我对这个说法持保留意见,不过我还是愿意听听他们在找我之前有什么想法。我最喜欢的几个是:只完成那些只需要右转的事;
Being extremely judicious in microwave usage: it says three tothree-and-a-half minutes on the package, we're totally getting in on the bottomside of that. And my personal favorite, which makes sense on some level, is toDVR your favorite shows so you can fast-forward through the commercials.
在用微波炉时,要极度审慎:当食物包装上面写了3到3.5分钟时,我们要挑时间最短的那个。我个人最喜欢的是,录下你最喜欢看的电视剧,然后你就可以跳过广告了。其实在某个程度上,还是挺有道理的。
That way, you save eight minutes every half hour, so in the course of twohours of watching TV, you find 32 minutes to exercise.
这样,你每半个小时就可以挤出八分钟。那么你葱用来看电视的两个小时中,可以挤出32分钟锻炼的时间。
Which is true. You know another way to find 32 minutes to exercise? Don'twatch two hours of TV a day, right?
倒的确是这么回事儿。你还知道其他可以找到32分钟锻炼时间的方法吗?不要每天都看两个小时电视就行了,对吧? (笑声)
Anyway, the idea is we'll save bits of time here and there, add it up, wewill finally get to everything we want to do. But after studying how successfulpeople spend their time and looking at their schedules hour by hour, I thinkthis idea has it completely backward.
总之,就是要在各处都省点时间,加起来就有时间做我们想做的事了。但在我了解成功的人如何分配时间,并看过了他们的时间表后,我觉得这个想法是完全本末倒置的。
We don't build the lives we want by saving time. We build the lives wewant, and then time saves itself.
我们不是通过节省时间来打造我们想过的生活。我们应该先建立我们想要的生活,时间就会自然而然节省出来。
Here's what I mean. I recently did a time diary project looking at 1,001days in the lives of extremely busy women. They had demanding jobs, sometimestheir own businesses, kids to care for, maybe parents to care for, communitycommitments -- busy, busy people.
我来解释一下。我最近有个时间日记项目,观察最忙碌的女士生命中的1001天。她们工作繁忙,有时候是自己的生意,有时候要照顾自己的孩子,或者是照顾父母,还有服务社区等等——都是一些很忙的人。
I had them keep track of their time for a week so I could add up how muchthey worked and slept, and I interviewed them about their strategies, for mybook.
我让她们记录了一星期的行程,计算她们工作和睡觉的时间,为了我的书,我还采访 了解了她们的常用策略。
One of the women whose time log I studied goes out on a Wednesday night forsomething. She comes home to find that her water heater has broken, and there isnow water all over her basement. If you've ever had anything like this happen toyou, you know it is a hugely damaging, frightening, sopping mess.
其中一个被我研究过时间表的女士,在一个周三晚上出去了一趟,回家发现她的热水器坏了,地下室都被水淹了。如果你也遇到过这种事儿的话,你会知道眼前的景象多么令人崩溃和沮丧。
So she's dealing with the immediate aftermath that night, next day she'sgot plumbers coming in, day after that, professional cleaning crew dealing withthe ruined carpet. All this is being recorded on her time log. Winds up takingseven hours of her week. Seven hours. That's like finding an extra hour in theday.
于是那个晚上她立刻着手处理,第二天她找了一个水管工,第三天找了专业的清理人员来处理损坏的地毯。所有这些都算在了她的时间表内。总共花了她一周中的七个小时。七个小时。这就等于一周七天每天都要挤出一个小时。
But I'm sure if you had asked her at the start of the week, "Could you findseven hours to train for a triathlon?" "Could you find seven hours to mentorseven worthy people?" I'm sure she would've said what most of us would've said,which is, "No -- can't you see how busy I am?" Yet when she had to find sevenhours because there is water all over her basement, she found seven hours.
但是假如你在这一周刚开始时就问她,“你能在这周抽出七个小时来参加铁人三项吗?”,“你能在这周抽出七个小时指导七个有潜力的人吗?“我确定她会像大多数人一样, 说,”怎么可能,你看不出我有多忙吗?“ 但是她最后不得不抽出七个小时,因为她的地下室都被水淹了, 她挤出了这七个小时。
And what this shows us is that time is highly elastic. We cannot make moretime, but time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it.
这件事告诉我们:时间是有弹性的。我们不能创造更多时间,但是时间会自己调整去适应我们选择去做的事情。
And so the key to time management is treating our priorities as theequivalent of that broken water heater. To get at this, I like to use languagefrom one of the busiest people I ever interviewed. By busy, I mean she wasrunning a small business with 12 people on the payroll, she had six children inher spare time.
所以时间管理的关键,就是对待最重要的事情应该像对待那个坏了的热水器一样。要做到这一点,我要借用我采访过最忙的人的话。她经营着一个小企业,请了十二名员工,空余时间她还要照顾六个孩子。
I was getting in touch with her to set up an interview on how she "had itall" -- that phrase. I remember it was a Thursday morning, and she was notavailable to speak with me. Of course, right?
我联系上了她,想要采访她关于她是怎么做到“无所不能”的。我记得那是一个星期四的早晨,她没时间和我说话。当然了,她很忙。
But the reason she was unavailable to speak with me is that she was out fora hike, because it was a beautiful spring morning, and she wanted to go for ahike. So of course this makes me even more intrigued, and when I finally docatch up with her, she explains it like this. She says, "Listen Laura,everything I do, every minute I spend, is my choice."
但是她没时间和我说话的原因是,她去远足了。因为那是春季一个美丽的清晨,所以她去远足了。这样的她让我变得更感兴趣了,当我最终联系上她时,她说:“听我说,劳拉,我做的所有的事情,我花的每分每秒,都是我的选择。
And rather than say, "I don't have time to do x, y or z," she'd say, "Idon't do x, y or z because it's not a priority." "I don't have time," oftenmeans "It's not a priority."
”所以与其说, ”我没有时间做这个,这个,或者那个。” 她会说:”我不做这些事情因为这些不是我的首要任务。““我没有时间”的意思通常是”那不是我的首要任务”。
If you think about it, that's really more accurate language. I could tellyou I don't have time to dust my blinds, but that's not true. If you offered topay me $100,000 to dust my blinds, I would get to it pretty quickly.
其实你想想, 那的确是更准确的说法。我可能会告诉你我没有时间清理百叶窗,但那不是真的。假如你愿意付我10万美金让我给百叶窗除尘,我会马上就去做。(笑声)
Since that is not going to happen, I can acknowledge this is not a matterof lacking time; it's that I don't want to do it. Using this language reminds usthat time is a choice. And granted, there may be horrible consequences formaking different choices, I will give you that.
既然那不可能发生,我可以说不是因为时间不够,而是我不想做。这么说提醒了我们,时间是一种选择。我会告诉你,当然,不同的选择有时候会带来可怕的后果。
But we are smart people, and certainly over the long run, we have the powerto fill our lives with the things that deserve to be there.
但是我们都是聪明人,从长远来看,我们有能力去选择一些值得做的事,来填补我们生命中的时间。那么我们应该怎么做呢?
So how do we do that? How do we treat our priorities as the equivalent ofthat broken water heater?
我们要如何像对待那个坏了的热水器一样对待我们的首要任务?首先,我们需要找出哪些事最重要。
Well, first we need to figure out what they are. I want to give you twostrategies for thinking about this.The first, on the professional side: I'm suremany people coming up to the end of the year are giving or getting annualperformance reviews. You look back over your successes over the year, your"opportunities for growth." And this serves its purpose, but I find it's moreeffective to do this looking forward.
我想给你们分享两个技巧。第一个,从职业的角度来说:我相信许多人在年底的时候,会发出或者收到年度绩效审查。你回头看看这一年的成功和“成长的机会”。这的确起到了它的作用,但是我发现往前看会更有效。
So I want you to pretend it's the end of next year. You're giving yourselfa performance review,and it has been an absolutely amazing year for youprofessionally. What three to five things did you do that made it so amazing? Soyou can write next year's performance review now.
我想让你们把这当做下一年的年底。你在给自己做年度绩效审查,在专业方面,这一年的表现非常出众。是哪三到五件事使这一年变得如此出众?你现在就可以写明年的绩效审查。
And you can do this for your personal life, too. I'm sure many of you, likeme, come December, get cards that contain these folded up sheets of coloredpaper, on which is written what is known as the family holiday letter.
你也可以在个人生活方面这么做。我相信你们许多人,包括我,在十二月,都会收到这种夹着彩色纸的卡片。上面写着“家庭假日信件”。
Bit of a wretched genre of literature, really, going on about how amazingeveryone in the household is,or even more scintillating, how busy everyone inthe household is. But these letters serve a purpose,which is that they tell yourfriends and family what you did in your personal life that mattered to you overthe year.
听起来像是一个挺悲惨的文学题材,谈论家里每个人有多了不起,或者更精彩点,家里每个人有多忙。但是这些信有它们的用处,它们告诉你的朋友和家人你这一年里做了什么对个人生活有意义的事。
So this year's kind of done, but I want you to pretend it's the end of nextyear, and it has been an absolutely amazing year for you and the people you careabout. What three to five things did you do that made it so amazing? So you canwrite next year's family holiday letter now. Don't send it.
那么今年快要结束了,我想让你假装这是明年的年底,对你和你在乎的人来说,这都是无与伦比的一年。哪三到五件事让你这一年表现如此出色?其实你现在就可以写明年的家庭假日信件了。先不要发出去。
Please, don't send it. But you can write it. And now, between theperformance review and the family holiday letter, we have a list of six to tengoals we can work on in the next year.
真的,不要发出去。但是你可以写。现在,有了绩效评估和写给家人的信,我们就有了六到十个明年可以努力的目标。我们需要先把他们分成可行的阶段性任务。
And now we need to break these down into doable steps. So maybe you want towrite a family history.First, you can read some other family histories, get asense for the style. Then maybe think about the questions you want to ask yourrelatives, set up appointments to interview them. Or maybe you want to run a 5K.So you need to find a race and sign up, figure out a training plan, and digthose shoes out of the back of the closet.
或许你要写一个家族传记。首先吗,你可以读读别人的家族历史,了解一下大概的风格然后可以想象你要问亲戚的问题,约定和他们见面谈话的时间。或者你想要参加一个五千米的短程马拉松。你需要先找一个竞赛报名,再做一个培训计划,从衣柜底下翻出你的运动鞋。
And then -- this is key -- we treat our priorities as the equivalent ofthat broken water heater, by putting them into our schedules first. We do thisby thinking through our weeks before we are in them.
然后——这是关键——我们将我们的首要事件视为那个坏掉的热水器,将它们优先放入我们的日程表里。我们要在事情发生的几周前就先想好。
I find a really good time to do this is Friday afternoons. Friday afternoonis what an economist might calla "low opportunity cost" time. Most of us are notsitting there on Friday afternoons saying, "I am excited to make progress towardmy personal and professional priorities right now."
我发现周五的下午最适合处理这事儿。周五的下午是被经济学家称为“低机会成本”时间。我们大部分人不会在周五下午想着,“我要朝我的个人和职业生涯的首要事件迈进了,所以很兴奋。“
But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a littlebit of time Friday afternoon, make yourself a three-category priority list:career, relationships, self. Making a three-category list reminds usthat thereshould be something in all three categories.
但是我们愿意去想那些事是什么。所以在周五下午花一点时间,为自己做一个分成三类的首要事件的列表:事业、人际关系、个人。这样的三项分类列表提醒了我们每一个类别都应该有一些事。
Career, we think about; relationships, self -- not so much. But anyway,just a short list, two to three items in each. Then look out over the whole ofthe next week, and see where you can plan them in.
事业,我们经常考虑;人际关系,个人——很少会想。无论如何,只要一个短短的列表,每个都包含两到三件事。它们会帮助我们看清下周,如何在下周计划这些事情。你可以决定如何计划。
Where you plan them in is up to you. I know this is going to be morecomplicated for some people than others. I mean, some people's lives are justharder than others. It is not going to be easy to find time to take that poetryclass if you are caring for multiple children on your own. I get that. And Idon't want to minimize anyone's struggle. But I do think that the numbers I amabout to tell you are empowering.
这可能对一些人来说会比较困难一点。我的意思是,有些人的人生就是比较复杂。如果你自己有好几个要照顾的小孩,想要找时间去参加诗歌班一定不容易。我懂。我不想轻视任何人的困难。但是我觉得我接下来要说的数字,是会改变你的想法的。
There are 168 hours in a week. Twenty-four times seven is 168 hours. Thatis a lot of time. If you are working a full-time job, so 40 hours a week,sleeping eight hours a night, so 56 hours a week -- that leaves 72 hours forother things. That is a lot of time.
我们每周都有168个小时,24乘以7是168个小时。这是一段很长时间。假如你有一个全职的工作,一周是40个小时,每晚睡八个小时,一周是56个小时,我们有剩下72个小时来做其他事情。这是一段很长的时间。
You say you're working 50 hours a week, maybe a main job and a side hustle.Well, that leaves 62 hours for other things. You say you're working 60 hours.Well, that leaves 52 hours for other things. You say you're working more than 60hours. Well, are you sure?
假如你说你每周工作50个小时,比如一份全职和一份兼职。这样你还是有60小时去做其他的事情。假如你说你每周工作60个小时,你还是有52个小时去做其他的事情。你说你每周工作超过60个小时,你确定吗?
There was once a study comparing people's estimated work weeks with timediaries. They found that people claiming 75-plus-hour work weeks were off byabout 25 hours.
曾经有一个研究对比了人们估计的工作时间,和实际的工作日记。他们发现那些表示工作超过75小时的人,有25小时的误差。
You can guess in which direction, right? Anyway, in 168 hours a week, Ithink we can find time for what matters to you.
你可以猜到这个误差是多了还是少了吧?无论如何,在一周的168个小时里,我觉得我们总可以找到时间做我们想做的事。
If you want to spend more time with your kids, you want to study more for atest you're taking, you want to exercise for three hours and volunteer for two,you can. And that's even if you're working way more than full-time hours.
如果你想花时间陪陪你的孩子,或者准备你即将到来的考试,你想锻炼两三个小时或者 做两个小时志愿者,你都可以的。即便你的工作时间远超过法定时间。
So we have plenty of time, which is great, because guess what? We don'teven need that much time to do amazing things. But when most of us have bits oftime, what do we do? Pull out the phone, right?Start deleting emails. Otherwise,we're puttering around the house or watching TV.
所以我们有很多时间,这很好。但是你知道吗?我们根本不需要那么多时间去完成一个大目标。但当我们有一点空闲时间的时候,我们会做什么?拿出手机,是吧?开始删除邮件。或者在家里闲逛,看电视。
But small moments can have great power. You can use your bits of time forbits of joy. Maybe it's choosing to read something wonderful on the bus on theway to work.
但是每个不起眼的时刻都潜力无限。你可以用零星的时间,来获得零星的快乐。比如说在去上班的公车上读一些精彩的东西。
I know when I had a job that required two bus rides and a subway ride everymorning, I used to go to the library on weekends to get stuff to read. It madethe whole experience almost, almost, enjoyable. Breaks at work can be used formeditating or praying. If family dinner is out because of your crazy workschedule, maybe family breakfast could be a good substitute.
当我以前的工作需要我每天早上乘两趟公车和一趟地铁的时候,我周末会去图书馆找东西来读。这几乎,几乎让我的生活更丰富了。工作间隙的休息时间可以用来冥想或者祷告。如果你因为工作忙而不能吃家庭晚餐,试一下家庭早餐。
It's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where the goodstuff can go. I truly believe this.There is time. Even if we are busy, we havetime for what matters. And when we focus on what matters, we can build the liveswe want in the time we've got.
这就是看着一个人所有的时间,然后找到什么时候可以做想做的事。我真的相信,我们都有充分的时间。就算我们很忙,我们仍然有时间去做重要的事。当我们关注在重要的事上时,我们可以用所拥有的时间创造我们想要的生活。
Thank you.
谢谢。
英文演讲稿 篇18
万圣节的前一天,小狮子坐在窗前,看到外面天空中的太阳公公。他很想知道明天万圣节太阳公公来不来。小狮子爬到高高的石台上,抬着头对着太阳说:“太阳公公,你好!”太阳不回答。小狮子想:“我离太阳公公太远了,他听不见。”
小狮子走到了山里,爬到最高的山顶上,对着太阳喊:“你好!”远远地传来了一个声音:“你好!”小狮子想太阳公公听见了,他在回答我呢。小狮子又大声叫:“明天就是万圣节了,你来不来?”太阳回答说:“明天就是万圣节了,你来不来……”小狮子说:“我来。”太阳也回答说:“我来-……”小狮子又问太阳:“你想要什么礼物?”太阳也问:“你想要什么礼物……”小狮子回答说:“我想要个南瓜头灯笼。”太阳也回答说:“我想要个南瓜头灯笼……”
小狮子下山后,去商店买了一个最漂亮的塑料南瓜头灯笼,把它放在高高的石台上,送给太阳公公。夜里一阵风吹来,南瓜头灯笼被“乎……乎……”地吹得滚了下来,“咕噜咕噜”地滚到了小狮子家的门口。
第二天早上,小狮子开门发现自己家门口有一个漂亮的南瓜头灯笼。“噢!这准是太阳公公送给我的万圣节礼物!”小狮子又爬上了山顶,朝着太阳喊:“谢谢你的礼物,万圣节快乐!”太阳也说:“谢谢你的礼物,万圣节快乐……”

good morning everybody. it is true that most of us value honesty highly. however, nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities and so on. i think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society. the reasons can be listed as follows.firstly, only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time. secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the chinese people, can make our life easier and more harmonious. thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. a case in point is that singapore, a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity, has a comparatively low criminal rate. responsbility can be understood in many ways. for the parents , they have had the responsibility for caring for and fostering their children since the birth of their baby.for teachers,both in kindergartens and colleges,they also should be responsible for the study and life of their students,that is to say,teahers are the second parents of children somewhile. for us,as a friend of others,it is our responsibility to help our friends when they are in trouble or faced with difficulties. each one has the different responsibily based on their roles but we must take it for granted that we are responsible for the society. that is all ,thank you .

china, as a developing country, is determined to catch up with and evensurpass the developed ones. i think that one of the best possible ways to do sois to give first priority(优先)to the development of culture, science andespecially education.
in modern times, when science and technology are making great progress, theeducation of the work force is of primary importance. moreover, many of thesuccess in advanced countries have demonstrated that a nation 's prosperitymainly depends on the quality of its labour force, namely those who have beenwell educated. www?
in a developing country such as china, our investment in culture, educationand science, and especially elementary education, must enjoy top priority. thisis crucial(决定性的)for china to catch up with the developed nations in today'ssurging(汹涌的) waves of technological revolution. otherwise, the gap between chinaand advanced countries will be widened rather than bridged.

In recent years, China’s food industry occurs security issus frequently, which makes people worried and lose confidence。 Food safety, related to the people’s health, safety and healthy development of economy, is the major issue of national stability and social development。 Since the Sanlu Incident occurred in 20__, the entire society increasingly concerned about food safety issue。 It was in this context that the food safety issue was referred to an unprecedented level。
There are the following main issues in food security: using poor quality raw materials in the food manufacturing process, adding toxic substances, excessive use of food additives, abusing of chemical additives and so on。 There are many reasons to cause this problem, and regulators, producers and even consumers share responsibilities。 The entire society should try effort to avoid food safety issues。
英文演讲稿 篇22
as we know, you have to learn how to fly much more independently instead of under your parents’ considerate protection when you get into college, which also means you will come across enormous questions that should be solved by yourself. from my point of view, those main problems can fall into three parts.
first of all, the complicated relationship. for one thing, you have to know how cultural differences function in your relationship and respect them. in addition, college students spend less time studying together owing to different courses’ choosing, which requires us to devote more energy to building relationship. for the other thing, it is also vital to communicate with your parents often by using mobile phones or other tools.
secondly, the temptations. the college serves us a more relaxed environment mixed with other temptations such as the internet, alcohols and so on. what’s more, the college teachers won’t compel you to study like before, you doze off or play cell phone in class, and you flee up the morning class because you get up too late. such too frequent behaviors will cripple your passion and enthusiasm towards life, so it is essential for us to resist these temptations and insist pursuing our own goals.
thirdly, the balance between study and work. most of us will choose to take a part time job to earn the extra money or just to exercise ourselves. but it is significant to keep a relatively balanced relationship between them since i always regard the study as our main task, so my principle is adjusting work to follow the schedule of study.
in conclusion, whatever issues we meet or miseries we suffer from, confront the hash reality head on, what we can do is remembering the past, living in the present and looking forward to the future.

English is a useful language all over the world. Why are we began to learn English when we were little children? Beacause it is very important for us to learn it.In the world, if you cannot speak English you will lose half a chance to success.
Even if my English is very bad, my teacher stll encourages me to learn English hard and he gives me some ways to learn English. He tells me to read passages loudly and listen to the English tapes everyday morning.In order to progress my writing he also asks me to write some articles at times. I like listen to the English songs,he suggests me to sing the English songs.As a result of his ways my English becomes well.
Now, I like English very well and I still use the ways he tells me.I know I must learn English even hard.
