I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball. It won't be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature.
Mentally, I'm exhausted, I don't feel I have a challenge. Physically, I feel GREat. the last time in 1993 I had other agendas. I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it. And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that.
Actually I talked to Jerry last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time, mentally, I was a little exhausted. I didn't know if I would play next year. I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season. And Jerry, once we had our conversation, wanted me to take time as I did in 93 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.
I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach. And I think that even with Phil being the coach I would have had a tough time, mentally finding the challenge for myself. Although he can somehow present challenges for me. I don't know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on to this season." Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years, but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired. So I can't say that he would have restored that.
I will support the Chicago Bulls. I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan. I've been given an opportunity by people before me, to name a few, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Eljohn Baylor, Jerry West. These guys played the game way before Michael Jordan was born and Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity. Mr Stern and what he's done for the league, gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball. I played it to the best I could play it, I tried to enhance the game itself. I've tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.
"Protecting the environment,is everybody's business." Every time I go in the busy streets,always see some throw on the ground of dazzling things:the packing bag of brightly colored,the crush cigarette end,didn't chew clean apple and roll into a mass of waste everyone so don't speak hygiene,our beautiful home will become what look like?Spring outing,a lot of students litter the lawn or on the road.I asked them:"you didn't bring garbage bags?"

Good morning, Everyone!
早上好,大家!
I will talk about sports. I am an active boy. I like many kinds of sports, such as walking, skating, climbing, cycling and skipping. Doing sports gives me a good health and brings me a lot of fun.
我将谈论体育。我是一个活泼的男孩。我喜欢很多运动,如散步,滑冰,登山,骑自行车,跳绳。做运动让我健康,给我带来了很多乐趣。
Now, I will tell you about my cycling sport. I often ride my bicycle when I am free. I like to ride my bicycle on a road near my house. It is an empty road. There are no cars and few people walking on the road. It is about four kilometers long. It has several long slopes. So it is very good for cycling. When I ride down the slopes, the bicycle runs very fast, and I feel I am flying. That’s a very good feeling for me. When I ride up the slopes, it is very difficult, but it is a good training for me. I always try my best to ride up as long as possible. Cycling there gives me lots of fun.
现在,我将告诉你关于我的自行车运动。我经常骑我的自行车在我的自由。我喜欢在我家附近的道路骑自行车。它是一个空的路。没有汽车,很少有人走在路上。这是约四公里长。它有几个很长的坡。所以它是骑自行车很好。当我骑下山坡,自行车跑得很快,我觉得我在飞翔。这对我来说是一个非常好的感觉。当我骑上斜坡,它是非常困难的,但它对我来说是一个良好的训练。我总是尽我最大的努力去骑了尽可能长的。自行车也给了我许多乐趣。
Everyone can get ill, but doing sports is a good doctor. I know an English saying “Exercise one hour a day, keep illness away.” My own story has proved it. I once had an illness. I had to go to see the doctors and take medicines very often. After doing sports for several years, I have recovered now.
每个人都会生病,但做运动是个好医生。我知道每天锻炼一小时的一句英语谚语“,让病。“我自己的故事证明了它。我曾经有过的疾病。我不得不去看医生,吃药,经常。经过几年的运动,我已经恢复了,现在。
Doing sports gives me a strong body and brings me lots of fun. So if you want to be strong, please do sports; if you want to enjoy a happy life, please do sports, too.
做运动让我强壮的身体,给我带来了很多乐趣。所以如果你想强壮,请做运动;如果你想快乐的享受生活,也请做运动。
Thank you
谢谢
there was a guy who went into a shop to buy a parrot。 there werethreeparrots in the shop。 one was $5,000; another one, $10,000; and the third one,$30,000。 the customer asked the owner, “how e this guy is $5,000? that?s soexpensive for this kindof parrot。” the owner said, “because i have trained himand he can talk。” so the customer asked him, “how about this guy? what can he dothat makes him so expensive?” the owner said, “well, apart from talking, he canalso do some amusing actions,like dancing and so on。 that?s why he?s soexpensive。” then the customer said, “how about the third one? what canhe do thatmakes him so expensive?” the owner of the shopsaid, “i don?t know。 normally, ihave never heard him talk, nor dance, nor whistle, nor sing, nothing at all! butthe other two call him ?the boss。?”
有个人到一间商店买鹦鹉。店里有三只鹦鹉,其中一只卖五千元,另一只卖一万元,还有一只卖三万元。
顾客问老板:「为什么这只要卖五千元?这个价钱对这种鹦鹉来说太贵了!」
老板说:「因为我有训练他讲话。」
顾客又问:「那这只呢?他会做什么?为什么要卖这么贵?」
老板说:「他除了会说话之外,还会表演一些搞笑的动作,好比说跳舞等等,所以才卖这么贵。」
顾客之后又问:「那第三只呢?他会做什么?为什么要卖这么贵?」
老板说:「我不明白。我从没听过他讲话、吹口哨或唱歌,也没看过他跳舞,什么都没有!但是另外两只叫他:『老板!』
We're going to go on a dive to the deep sea, and anyone that's had that lovely opportunity knows that for about two and half hours on the way down, it's a perfectly positively pitch—black world。 And we used to see the most mysterious animals out the windowthat you couldn't describe: these blinking lights —— a world of bioluminescence, like fireflies。 Dr。 Edith Widder —— she's now at the Ocean Research and Conservation Association —— was able to come up with a camera that could capture some of these incredible animals, and that's what you're seeing here on the screen。
好了,我们即将潜入海底深处。 任何一个有过这种美妙机会的人都知道 在这两个半小时的下降过程中, 是一个完全漆黑的世界。 我们透过窗户会看见世界上各种最神秘的动物, 各种无法形容的动物。这些闪亮着的光, 完美地构成了如萤火虫般发光的世界。 研究保护协会的Edith Witter博士 发明了一种照相机, 这种照相机可以拍下这些令人难以置信的生物。 这就是你现在在屏幕上看到的。
That's all bioluminescence。 So, like I said: just like fireflies。 There's a flying turkey under a tree。 (Laughter) I'm a geologist by training。 But I love that。 And you see, some of the bioluminescence they use to avoid being eaten, some they use to attract prey, but all of it, from an artistic point of view, is positively amazing。 And a lot of what goes on inside 。。。 there's a fish with glowing eyes, pulsating eyes。 Some of the colors are designed to hypnotize, these lovely patterns。 And then this last one, one of my favorites, this pinwheel design。 Just absolutely amazing, every single dive。
他们全部都是生物发光体。像我说的,就像萤火虫一样。 这是个会飞的火鸡,在树下。(笑声) 我知道我现在像是个实习期的地质学家,不过我就是喜欢。 你可以看到这些生物发出的光, 有些是为了避免被吃掉。 有些又是为引诱食物上钩。 尽管如此,用艺术的角度来看,这些都如此神奇。 再来看看这里发生了些什么—— 这条鱼有着会发光,闪烁的眼睛。 有些颜色则可以催眠。 多么有趣的图案。这是最后一个: 也是我的最爱,像转轮一样的设计。 每一次潜水都充满着惊喜。
That's the unknown world, and today we've only explored about 3 percent of what's out there in the ocean。 Already we've found the world's highest mountains, the world's deepest valleys, underwater lakes, underwater waterfalls —— a lot of that we shared with you from the stage。 And in a place where we thought no life at all, we find more life, we think, and diversity and density than the tropical rainforest, which tells us that we don't know much about this planet at all。 There's still 97 percent, and either that 97 percent is empty or just full of surprises。
这正是一个未知的世界。到今天为止,我们只探索了其中的极小部分, 大约只占了所有海洋的3%。 到现在,我们已经发现了世界上最高的山峰, 最深的峡谷, 水下湖,水下瀑布, 还有我们刚才看到的。 然而,恰是我们曾经以为根本不可能有生命的地方, 我们发现了众多的生物,还有它们的密度和多样性, 都超过了热带雨林。这告诉我们 我们实际上对自己的星球还不甚了解。 还有剩下的97%,那里要不就是一片荒芜,要不就是充满惊喜。
But I want to jump up to shallow water now and look at some creatures that are positively amazing。Cephalopods —— head—foots。 As a kid I knew them as calamari, mostly。 (Laughter) This is an octopus —— this is the work of Dr。 Roger Hanlon at the Marine Biological Lab —— and it's just fascinating how cephalopods can, with their incredible eyes, sense their surroundings, look at light, look at patterns。 Here's an octopus moving across the reef, finds a spot to settle down, curls up and then disappears into the background。 Tough thing to do。
不过我现在还是想说说浅水里的世界, 来看看那些神奇的生物。 头足类动物,有头有角。小时候我把他们当作是枪乌贼。 这是一条章鱼。 这是来自Roger Hanlon博士,海洋生物实验室的成果。 这些头足类动物真令人着迷, 它用它们的眼睛,它们那难以置信的眼睛来观察周围的环境, 看光,看图案。 这有只章鱼正在穿过礁石。 找到一个位置,停下来,卷起,然后马上消失在背景之中。 这很难做到。
In the next bit, we're going to see a couple squid。 These are squid。 Now males, when they fight, if they're really aggressive, they turn white。 And these two males are fighting, they do it by bouncing their butts together, which is an interesting concept。 Now, here's a male on the left and a female on the right, and the male has managed to split his coloration so the female only always sees the kinder gentler squid in him。 And the male 。。。 (Laughter) We're going to see it again。 Let's take a look at it again。 Watch the coloration: white on the right, brown on the left。 He takes a step back —— so he's keeping off the other males by splitting his body —— and comes up on the other side 。。。 Bingo! Now I'm told that's not just a squid phenomenon with males, but I don't know。 (Laughter)
接下来,再来一起看一对鱿鱼。 这就是鱿鱼。当雄性鱿鱼搏斗时, 如果它们想要显示出自己的侵略性,它们就变为白色了。 这有两条雄鱿鱼在搏斗。 它们用撞屁股的方式来搏斗, 真是挺有意思的方法。这里有一条雄性在左边, 雌性在右边。 看,这条雄性能有办法利用颜色把自己分为两半, 所以雌性只能看到它温顺,优雅的一边, 雄性—— (笑声)再来看一次。 让我们再看一次。注意它的颜色: 白色在右边,棕色在左边。 它后退一步,让其它的雄性无法靠近 来到另外一边,并且马上转换颜色。 瞧!以前有人告诉我 这个雄性特征不仅仅是在鱿鱼身上,不过我也不太确定。 (掌声)
My dear friends,
Good morning every,my name is sam,it’s my honor to give you a speech,today i am going to tell you a story about mother love,and the topic of the story is the child’s guardian angel.
Once upon a time there was a child really to be born.so one day he asked god ``they tell me you will send me to the earth tomorrow but how am i going to live there being so small and helpless.''
God answered:“among the many angels,ichose one for you.she will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
“in heaven,i don't do anything else but sing and smile,that's enough for me to be happy.”
“your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you everyday,and you will fell your angel's love and be very happy.”
“and how can i understand when people talk to me.”the child continued.
God patted him on the head and said: “your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words ,and will teach you how to speak.”
“I'v heard there are many bad men on the earth, who will protect me?”
“Your angel will defend you with her life.”
At the moment there was much peace in heaven,but voices from the earth could already be heard.the child know he had to leave very soon.he asked god one more question softly, “oh,god, iam going to leave now, can you tell me my angel's name?”
God touched the child on the shoulder and answered: “your angel's name is not hard to remember,you will simply call her mommy.”
I will never forget this story,today i told it to more people and i’d like to point out :in the world,the greatest love of all is mother love.let us care about mother love and care about our life,i hope we all could live happily.
That's all,thank you very much for your attention.
A New Head Teachers Address to His ClassMy dear fellow boys and girls, my friends, When I stand before the teachers desk, or, I would rather say when I stand on the stage, it seems to me that the purple curtains of both sides are drawing open gently. And on this occasion a play full of vigor is on its way. To my extreme happiness, you all, Class Two of Senior Grade One will perform the play who, I think, will be loyal to your performers each. The play may be one of the longest plays in the world, because it will last three years till your whole period of senior grade. Because of all these, I would like to be a warm-hearted announcer. I would like to take the opportunity to declare that the play by Class Two Senior Grade One begins. Above all, I think, as a head teacher of your class, I should be a well-qualified director. I am eager to direct plays full with modern atmosphere. The key tune will be unity, intentness, earnestness and liveliness. The main contents will be comprehension, friendship and love each other, pioneering and creativity. The main story will be the love of collective and collective of love. As a director, I will carefully design attractive plots, typical characters and striking stories for all of you. Now today every one of you present shows us your own brilliance as you can.
The stage belongs to you.
Of course you are the leading roles.
I will be willing to be a supporting actor and try what I can to serve you all. I will share the enjoyment of your success silently. Moreover, I will be willing to be a pious audience who would like to smile, tear, and applause for your wonderful performances. I will be willing to shake hands with you all with heartfelt words: Congratulate you on your success. When you say goodbye to your middle school life in the end in the three years and when you ascend the stage of life, you will feel greatly that what you get from the class are so valuable to you. What an unforgettable period of your life you have in the class! After three years when our curtains of the class close, I would like to hear your remark on my work; , you are our qualified director as well as a very good supporting actor, and you are still the audience we all like. Thank you for your applause.
From you applause I can see your comprehension and support, although the curtain just begins. Let me wish to have our smooth and successful cooperation!
Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is: faith does make a difference to our life.
The recent earthquake in Japan has triggered a series of unexpected crises and even faith crisis among us. Are the increasing natural disasters echoing the 20xx prediction by Maya? Is our future really so vulnerable and tentative? I am trying to probe the answer.
Last November, as a volunteer of the Global Sustainable Leaders Forum, I first came across the concept of social entrepreneurship. In the inspiring speeches, I saw the determination and faith of converting ideal into practice. I couldn’t help asking myself: what should I live for?
The great thinker Russell once put in his essay: Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
By launching donation campaigns and bearing social responsibility, Bill Gates reshaped the stereotyped faith of businessmen.
Then, how can I make a difference? A talk with my father gave me some inspiration.
My father is a superfan of traditional Chinese calligraphy. When I was a kid, I had the faintest idea why I should practise routinely this form of art. It was terribly boring. But Dad said seriously: As a Chinese, we need to pass down and promote our rich culture. It is our responsibility.
Yang Lan, a well-known TV host once said: As a media worker, I want to track down the passage of time and history by conducting interviews. For me, the responsibility outweighs the occupation itself.
Far back to Confucius, who was once obscure and humble, undertook the seemingly hopeless task of building a harmonious society. But with his strong faith, hemade a change by spreading the seeds of wisdom.
The story about three craftsmen further illustrates the power of faith. When asked about their work, one said: I'm piling up the bricks. Another replied: I'm building the wall. The third responded: I'm designing a home for people. These three replies mirrored distinct insights toward work: Task, job, and undertaking.
In my university, students majoring in National Defence choose to devote their golden years to safeguarding our mother land. They have interpreted faith with their own dynamic youth.
My friends, musicians can not simply provide us with lyrical notes, but create melody to sooth our soul; Scientists can not merely invent machines, but utilize their wisdom to reshape our lifestyle; teachers can not just impart knowledge, but usher us to become a worthy person!
So, my dear friends, life without faith is just like music without melody, and world without color. We are who we choose to be. It is faith that’ll remove our fear about future and stretch the radius of our life. Let faith light up all our young dreams.
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 matter of choice. seemimgly, it means a choice of tangible things. but in essence, it means choosing a way of life. life is to be lived, savored, 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 colouful 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 optimisim, nearly forgetting that we're still in a battle. people who survive these kinds of circumstances, (at some point)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 unmeployed 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 optimistcally,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.
日常生活中,我们会面临各种各样的选择,像是晚餐吃什么,穿什么或是如何度周末。而在人生中的特定阶段,我们需要做出更多关键性的抉择,例如教育,职业或者人生伴侣。生活就意味着一种选择。这种选择看似是对具体事物的判断,但归根究底,是一种生活方式的选择。任何无味的抱怨和虚度光阴只会带来乏味,生活的美需要细心品尝,用心体会。
如今回想起那段笼罩在sars阴影下的日子依然心有余悸。但即便在那样令人沮丧的日子里,备受折磨的人们也始终保持着乐观。为传递一种欢快的情绪,大家换上了色彩缤纷的口罩。而那些富有创造力的人则把sars解释为"笑口常开"。他们对待生活的乐观态度深深打动了我,几乎让我忘记我们还身处在没有硝烟的战场。其实,正是坚持不懈,坚忍不拔的精神引领人们走出了逆境。
被看做经济发展牺牲品的广大下岗职工在面对生存压力时,特别容易陷入绝望当中。但别人欣慰的是,我们看到越来越多的这个群体中的成员重建了对生活的信心,并重新立足于社会以实现自己的价值。
尽管容貌和天资都是上苍给予,而人生旅途中的坎坷与荆棘我们也无法预计,那就让我们热爱生命,拥有梦想,珍惜希望吧。
每日清晨梦醒,我们都被赋予了选择生活的权利。而我会让一切从愉快开始。

Have you ever held a question in mind for so long that it becomes part of how you think? Maybe even part of who you are as a person? Well I’ve had a question in my mind for many, many years and that is: how can you speed up learning? Now, this is an interesting question because if you speed up learning you can spend less time at school. And if you learn really fast, you probably wouldn’t have to go to school at all.
Now, when I was young, school was sort of okay but I found quite often that school got in the way of learning so I had this question in mind: how do you learn faster? And this began when I was very, very young, when I was about eleven years old I wrote a letter to researchers in the Soviet Union, asking about hypnopaedia, this is sleep learning, where you get a tape recorder, you put it beside your bed and it turns on in the middle of the night when you’re sleeping, and you’re supposed to be learning from this.
A good idea, unfortunately it doesn’t work. But, hypnopaedia did open the doors to research in other areas and we’ve had incredible discoveries about learning that began with that first question. I went on from there to become passionate about psychology and I have been involved in psychology in many ways for the rest of my life up until this point. In 1981 I took myself to China and I decided that I was going to be native level in Chinese inside two years.
Now, you need to understand that in 1981, everybody thought Chinese was really, really difficult and that a westerner could study for ten years or more and never really get very good at it. And I also went in with a different idea which was: taking all of the conclusions from psychological research up to that point and applying them to the learning process. What was really cool was that in six months I was fluent in Mandarin Chinese and took a little bit longer to get up to native. But I looked around and I saw all of these people from different countries struggling terribly with Chinese, I saw Chinese people struggling terribly to learn English and other languages, and so my question got refined down to: how can you help a normal adult learn a new language quickly, easily and effectively?
Now this a really, really important question in today’s world. We have massive challenges with environment we have massive challenges with social dislocation, with wars, all sorts of things going on and if we can’t communicate we’re really going to have difficulty solving these problems. So we need to be able to speak each other’s languages, this is really, really important.
The question then is how do you do that. Well, it’s actually really easy. You look around for people who can already do it, you look for situations where it’s already working and then you identify the principles and apply them. It’s called modelling and I’ve been looking at language learning and modelling language learning for about fifteen to twenty years now.
And my conclusion, my observation from this is that any adult can learn a second language to fluency inside six months. Now when I say this, most people think I’m crazy, this is not possible. So let me remind everybody of the history of human progress, it’s all about expanding our limits.
In 1950 everybody believed that running one mile in four minutes was impossible and then Roger Bannister did it in 1956 and from there it’s got shorter and shorter. 100 years ago everybody believed that heavy stuff doesn’t fly. Except it does and we all know this. How does heavy stuff fly? We reorganise the materials using principles that we have learned from observing nature, birds in this case. And today we’ve gone ever further, so you can fly a car. You can buy one of these for a couple hundred thousand US dollars. We now have cars in the world that can fly. And there’s a different way to fly that we’ve learned from squirrels. So all you need to do is copy what a flying squirrel does, build a suit called a wing suit and off you go, you can fly like a squirrel.
No, most people, a lot of people, I wouldn’t say everybody but a lot of people think they can’t draw. However there are some key principles, five principles that you can apply to learning to draw and you can 2 actually learn to draw in five days. So, if you draw like this, you learn these principles for five days and apply them and after five days you can draw something like this. Now I know this is true because that was my first drawing and after five days of applying these principles that was what I was able to do. And I looked at this and I went ‘wow,’ so that’s how I look like when I’m concentrating so intensely that my brain is exploding. So, anybody can learn to draw in five days and in the same way, with the same logic, anybody can learn a second language in six months.

See, us kids are going to ansatically be happy and healthy.
es doe from Dr. Roger e of those parents like mine counted it as one of the reasons they felt confident to pull their kids from traditional school to try something different. I realized Im part of this small, but groputer hacker, he hacked skiing. His creativity and inventions made skiing munity, and through a net around the nation, and that sparked my love of e basic physics concepts like kinetic energy through experimenting and making mistakes.
My favorite munity organizations play a big part in my education, High Fives Foundations Basics program being aizing hats and selling them. The people cliff-to-cliff. Skiing to me is freedom, and so is my education, its about being creative; doing things differently, its about community and helping each other. Its about being happy and healthy among my very best friends.
So Im starting to think, I know what I might want to do when I grow up, but if you ask me what do I want to be when I grow up? Ill always know that I want to be happy. Thank you.
Stress comes in all shapes and size, and has become pervasive, it seems to penetrate everything and everybody, it's hard to get through a day without hearing or reading something about stress. Some doctors refer to stress as some kind of new plague. However, numerous surveys confirm that the problem has progressively risen since the 1980s. Why all the disorder? After all, stress has been around since Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. Without stress, there would be no life. However, just as distress can caw disease, there are good stresses that balance this, and promote wellness.
Increased stress results in increased productivity--up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. It's very much like the stress on a violin string. Not enough produces a dull. harsh sound. Too much makes sharp, annoying noir, or causes the string to snap. However, just the right degree can create magnificent tones. Similarly, we all need to find the proper level of stress that promotes optimal performance, and enables us to make harmonious music. Good health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and inseparability of mind/body relationships. In the next program. I hope you will join me in the pursuit of learning how to exploit stress, so that it can work for you. and make you more productive, rather than self-destructive.
Good morning,everyone! Today I'm going to talk about inventions.
Inventions are created every day because people would like to make lifeeasier.There are famous inventions like the TV and the bicycle.TV provides uswith different kinds of information so that we can know more about the world.Wewatch entertainment programs to relax ourselves.Besides some learning programshelp us with our study.
The bicycle is very useful,too. We go to school or work by bike.It's notexpensive that most of us can afford it.It makes no pollution,which is good forour environment.What's more ,bicycle riding is a kind of exciting sports whichis quite good for our health.
Though there have been many great inventions, I wish to invent a kind ofpen which can help us write more quickly and neatly.When we meet problems indoing our homework or taking exams,it will tell us how to solve them.
That's all .Thank you very much.
good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen!
i’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! to begin with ,i want to ask a question everybody dream a good dream last night? actually ,today i want to talk about dream with you. of course, what i want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.
everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. with the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer the dream, there is hope,with hope, we have the strength to fight.
i have a dream: to be a doctor.,because doctor may relieve the pain of patients. may let the human change the health. at the same time, i believed that, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. therefore, i hoped in the near future ,i might be a doctor.
but i know,life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .
East and West have met
runner-up: Rui Cheng gang, Foreign Affair College
Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:
Kipling said:" East is east, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!" But now, a century later, they have met.
They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the arts.
Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West ,but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.
But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity?
History makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.
Some people seem to think that adopting Western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in China, instead of the traditional Chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.
They fear that as we become "globalized", we will no longer be Chinese.
I do not agree.
History teachers that a strong and confident nation is at ease in hearing from the outside world.
The wedding of Eastern and Western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.
It is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.
As an amateur gourmet of Chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.
But my Chinese taste appreciates food from any land.
I even allow the convenience of McDonald's a place in my life without giving up my good taste.
My grandfather taught me to hum tunes of Beijing opera from the time I was very young; they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.
I love Beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who I am.
But I am also a fan of modern pop music, the No.1 fan of Spice Girls on campus.
of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance. It goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.
Once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a Chinese boy and an American girl had a squabble.
Both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.
Surely you've seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.
Nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural. No wonder they wanted him. The Chinese boy played his er-hu. Happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air. The little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music. He liked what he heard.
The girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.
The rabbit began to bounce in her direction.
So intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.
The competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn .Unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up ;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit. . .alone.
But, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other's music, instead of always playing their own tunes?
When I hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced.. . I hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.
Is music mine and yours, or is it ours?
What I want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and in tune. Together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with textures and sounds that can only be made in harmony.
The rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun. Waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.
Will he have to wait forever? The choice is ours . Thank you.
尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们:吉卜林说过,“东方是东方,西方是西方,两者永不聚!”然而如今,在一个世纪之后,东西方相聚了。
它们在贸易中相聚,在教育中相聚,在艺术中相聚。
有人争论说这种东西方之聚,使得我们能够在东西方中作出选择.然而我相信最美好的未来在于东西方世界的创造性的结合,我们可以变西方的观念、习俗、技术为己所有,为己所用;我们可以享受两上不同世界之精华,总之,我们的传统之一就是择其精华,为己所用。
然而,西方的生活方式和价值会威胁到我们的民族特色吗?
历史让我们轻易相信——也许是太轻易地让我们相信此说了。
有人似乎认为彩西方习俗,比如新娘结婚穿白色婚纱,是对外国介入的屈服,是对传统遗产的背叛,因为按中国传统,结婚新娘要穿红色,而白色长期以来代表的是哀悼。
这些人担心一量我们变得全球化,我们也就不在是中国人了。
我不这样认为。
历史告诉我们:一个强大自信的民族学起外面的世界易如反掌 。
无论是穿白衣还是黑衣,还是东西方异质文化的联姻,都给我们带来多姿多采的生活。
东西方异质文化的联姻是一席来自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。
身为中国菜的业余美食家,我喜欢民族的佳肴。
然而我的中国口味也欣赏异国的风味。
生活中我为简便吃麦当劳,却不会放弃自己的良好口味。
从小祖父就教我哼唱京剧,京剧深入我的精神之中,成为我灵魂的一部分。
我热爱京剧,因为京剧让我总想起自己是谁。
但是我也迷恋现代流行音乐,在学校里还是“辣味女孩”的头号歌迷。
当然,异质文化的交流远不止于食物、音乐和舞蹈,它深入到价值观和世界观。 有一次老师给我讲了一个中国男孩和一个美国女孩发生争执的故事。
在花园里他们俩发现了一只小兔,两人都想要。
你肯定见过草丛中晒太阳的小兔。
没什么东西比小兔子更可爱的,更富有自然情趣了,难怪他们两人都想要它。
男孩拉起了二胡,愉快喜悦的琴声,充满了渴望和激情,回荡在空中,小兔子听着这音乐轻轻摇摆,耳朵转向音乐,它喜爱男孩的琴声。
女孩也取出小提琴,拉出悠扬的旋律。
小兔子听了朝她跑去。
两人都全神贯注于自己的音乐,丝毫没注意对方演奏的音乐。
交杂在一块的音乐困惑了小兔子,它不知该朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能将小兔子吸引过来,只好放弃,各自走开了,扔下小兔子独自一人。
然而倘若他们倾听对方的音乐,而不是各自为歌,那么结果会如何呢?
当我听到小提琴声响起,男男女女走道一起又唱又跳,乐声中充满了欢乐, 此时我也听见了草原上、山谷间、小河旁传来得我们本民族的音乐的回声。
音乐分你我,还是属于我们大家?
我想听的是二胡与小提琴的合奏,旋律与节奏和谐一致。
大家一起才能创造出新颖动听音乐, 只有在和谐中大家才能创造出富有神韵的乐声。
在温暖的阳光中,小兔子在等待着我们一起演奏,等待着交响乐开始。
他有必要再永远的等下去吗?决择在于我们自己。谢谢。
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
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 of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80. that‟s all ! thank you!

Transcr ipt of Apple CEO Tim Cook's commencement address at Tulane University
苹果CEO蒂姆·库克杜兰大学毕业典礼演讲致词
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,杜兰大学!感谢菲茨校长、福尔曼教务长、尊敬的教职员工、其他教职员工[笑]以及整个杜兰大家庭,包括为这个美丽的讲堂做准备的工作人员、引座员和志愿者。我觉得我有责任也称赞一下在The Boot工作的辛勤的调酒师。虽然他们今天早上没有和我们在一起,但我相信你们中的一些人也在反思他们的贡献。[The Boot是一家受欢迎的大学酒吧,紧挨着杜兰大学校园,已经存在了几十年了。]
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.
就像你们中很多人的血管里也许还有肝脏里有新奥尔良一样,我们苹果公司的一些人的血液里也有新奥尔良。当我还是奥本大学的学生的时候,我们最喜欢的度假胜地是Big Easy。非常神奇的是,当你在周末开车驶向这个胜地,想象着甜甜圈和啤酒的时候,363英里的距离似乎一闪而过;而当你返程时,路途却显得那么遥远。苹果的员工丽莎-杰克逊(LisaJackson)是一位令人骄傲的杜兰大学校友。是。她把绿色浪潮一路带到了库比蒂诺,在那里她领导着我们的环境和公共政策工作。我们很高兴她能在我们的队伍中发挥才华和进行领导。
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,别再提我们了。让我们谈谈你们。在这样的时刻,看到一个社区聚集在一起传道受业解惑,最后用一个声音说,祝贺20xx年的同学们,这让我感到很谦卑!
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.
现在还有一个非常重要的群体:你们的家人和朋友。那些比任何人都更爱你们、更支持你们、甚至甘愿自我牺牲的人,为了帮助你们达到这一时刻,他们付出了巨大的代价。让我们为他们鼓掌。这将是我的第一条建议。直到你生命的后期,你们才会意识到这一刻对他们来说有多么重要,或者意识到你们的义务、爱和责任有多么重要。
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.
事实上,这就是我今天真正想和你们说的。在一个我们沉迷于记录自己生活的世界里,我们中的大多数人对我们彼此亏欠的东西没有给予足够的关注。这不仅仅是给你们的父母打更多的电话,尽管我相信如果你们会这么做,他们会很感激的。当我们意识到我们可以在一起做更多的事情时,人类文明就开始了。当我们变得更越来越强大时,在闪烁的火光之外的威胁和危险就会变得越来越小。我们可以创造更多——更多的繁荣,更多的美,更多的智慧,更美好的生活——只要我们承认某些共同的真理并采取集体行动。
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.
也许我有偏见,但我一直认为南方,特别是墨西哥湾海岸,比大多数人更能坚持这一智慧。[库克在阿拉巴马州的罗伯茨代尔长大,那里距离新奥尔良大约一个小时的路程,同样靠近墨西哥湾。]在这个国家的这个地方,如果你们的邻居有一段时间没有你们的消息,他们会忍不住来看望你们。好消息传得很快,因为你们的胜利也是他们的胜利。在他们提供一顿热饭热菜招待你们之前,你们是不可能走出大门的。
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.
也许你们还没有想太多,但这些价值观也影响了你们杜兰大学的教育。看看这句座右铭:不是为了自己,而是为了自己人。你们很幸运地生活、学习和成长在一座城市里,在这个城市里,人类的潮流融合成了一种神奇的、意想不到的东西。在那里,无与伦比的美,自然的美,文学的美,音乐的美,文化的美,似乎不期而至地从河口涌出。新奥尔良的人们使用两种工具来建造这座城市:不太可能的和不可能的。无论你走到哪里,都不要忘记这个地方的教训。生活总会找到很多方法来告诉你,不,你不能,你不应该,如果你不去尝试,你会过得更好。但是新奥尔良告诉我们,没有什么比尝试更美丽和更有价值了。尤其是当我们这样做不是为自己服务,而是为自己人服务的时候。
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.
对我来说,正是为了追求更伟大的目标,我才第一次来到苹果。我曾在一家叫康柏(Compaq)的公司找到了一份舒适的工作,在当时看来,这份工作将永远是的工作。事实证明,你们中的大多数人可能还太年轻,甚至不记得它的名字。但在1998年,史蒂夫-乔布斯说服我离开康柏,加入一家濒临破产的苹果公司。他们制造电脑,但至少在那一刻,人们对购买这些电脑并不感兴趣。史蒂夫有个改变一切的计划。我也想成为其中的一员。
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.
这不仅仅是iMac,或者iPod,或者之后的一切,而是使这些发明创意复活的价值观念。把强大的工具放在普通人手中将有助于释放创造力和推动人类向前发展。我们可以建造一些东西来帮助我们想象一个更美好的世界,然后让它成为现实。
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.
有句谚语说,如果你做你喜欢做的事,你的人生中将永远不会有一天是在工作。在苹果公司,我知道了这是一个彻头彻尾的谎言。你会比你想象的更努力工作,但你却一点也不觉得费劲。当你走进这个世界的时候,不要把时间浪费在已经解决的问题上。不要为别人所说的是实际的情况而心烦意乱。相反,引导你的船进入波涛汹涌的大海。寻找那些蛮荒之地,那些看起来还很难解决的问题,那些其他人乐于解决的复杂问题。在那些地方,你会找到你的目标。在那里你可以做出你的贡献。无论你做什么,都不要犯太谨慎的错误。不要以为原地不动,地面就不会在你脚下移动。现状根本不会持久。所以开始做些更好的事吧。
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,我们这代人辜负了你们。我们花了太多时间辩论。我们一直太专注于斗争,而没有把足够的注意力放在进步上。你不需要看太远就能找到失败的例子。今天,就在这个地方,在这个成千上万人曾经绝望地躲避百年灾难的地方,这种灾难似乎变得越来越频繁。我认为,如果我们不谈论气候变化,我们就无法谈论我们是谁,以及我们彼此亏欠了什么。
(applause) Thank you. Thank you.
谢谢!谢谢!
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.
这个问题不会因为谁胜谁负而变得简单,这是一个关乎谁赢了人生彩票、谁有忽视这个问题的能力、谁会失去一切的问题。沿海社区,包括路易斯安那州的一些社区,已经在计划离开世代以来被称为“家园”的地方,前往更海拔更高地方。如今渔民的渔网空空如也、野生动物生计萧条。对于生存在边缘地区的人来说,自然灾害往往就意味着持久的贫困。
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.
问问杜兰大学的莫莉·基奥(Molly Keogh)就知道了,她这个周末就要拿到博士学位了。她的一项重要新研究表明,海平面上升对路易斯安那州南部地区造成的破坏比任何人预想的都要严重。杜兰大学的毕业生们,这些地方都是人们的家园、他们的生计、他们祖父母出生、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.
当我们谈论气候变化或任何与人类成本有关的问题时,我有很多问题希望你们能够着手去做:去寻找那些因此损失的人,并从一些共同的东西中找到真正的、真正的同理心,这才是我们真正亏欠彼此的东西。当你这样做的时候,政治上的喧嚣就会平息下来,你会感到自己的脚牢牢地踩在了坚实的土地上。毕竟,我们从来不为巨魔建造纪念碑,也不会现在开创这个先例。
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.
如果你发现自己花在斗争上的时间比上班的时间还多。那么停下来,问问自己谁能从所有这些混乱中受益。有些人想让你相信,你能变得强大的方法,就是制服那些不同意你观点的人,或者从一开始就不给他们机会表达自己的机会。他们想让你相信,你能成就自己的方法就是摧毁对方。
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.
我们有时会忘记,我们先前存在的信念有其自身的引力。今天,某些算法会把你已经知道、相信或喜欢的东西主动拉向你,而把其他的东西推开,但事情本不应该如此。然而在20xx年,睁开眼睛、以一种全新方式看待事物可能是一种革命性的行为。你不仅要鼓起勇气去听,还要有勇气去听。不仅仅是行动,而是要一起行动。
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.
有时候你会觉得机会对你不利、觉得这么做不值得、觉得批评之声太过顽固,亦或觉得问题太大(超出了自己的处理能力)。但是,解决我们当下问题的办法首先就是在人类范畴内建立对今后工作的共同理解,并着手共同解决这一问题。至少,我们也应该放手一搏。
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.
这样的方式在之前曾成功过。1932年,当时的美国经济一落千丈,有1200万人失业。传统观点认为,我们能做的就是撑过这段时间、等待,并希望情况会有所好转。但当时政途冉冉升起的纽约州州长富兰克林o罗斯福(Franklin Roosevelt,后就任美国第32任总统,美国历连任超过两届的总统)拒绝等待。他敢于挑战现状,呼吁采取行动。他呼吁人们停止继续抱有乐观的想法,面对现实、齐心协力,帮助自己摆脱困境。
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."
他说:“这个国家需要一些大胆、持续的尝试。采取一种方法并加以尝试是再正常不过的事情。如果失败了,我们就承认失败,然后再试一次。但最重要的是,我们需要尝试一些东西。”
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."
这是一场对大学生的演讲,他们担心自己在一个不确定世界里的未来。他(罗斯福)说:“你们的任务不是在世界上开辟自己的道路,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.
年轻人无畏的同情心告诉我们,我们不仅要为努力生活,而且要为自己而活。这是一条前进的道路,从气候变化到移民、从刑事司法改革到经济机遇,我们都要以建设一个更美好世界的责任为动力。此前的年轻人一次又一次地改变了历史的进程,现在是时候再次改变了。
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,今天你们所接触到真相带来的紧迫性。大胆一些,因为没有人能让你感到弱小。勇敢一些,因为我们面临的挑战是巨大的,但你们将更加伟大。懂得感恩,因为已经有人为你们生活在的当下做出了牺牲,让这一刻成为可能。你们拥有一对清澈的眼睛,人生的道路也还很长。在这个体育场,我能感受到你们的勇气。
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.
呼唤你的勇气。尝试,你可能会成功,也可能会失败。但是,请让改造世界成为你自己的人生工作,因为没有什么比为人类留下更好的东西更具价值。
Thank you very much, and congratulations class of 20xx!
非常感谢,祝贺20xx届的毕业生们!
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautifulplumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washingin the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhoodwhere he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. Butcleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color,while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡,羽毛才变得如此洁白无瑕。于是,他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛,来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛,不但一 点都没洗白,反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。
这故事是说,人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。
Yesterdaywe didnt have cars.But today we have.Yesterdaywe didnt have TV sets.But today we have.Yesterday we didnt have computers.But today we have.
During the hundreds of yearshow fast the world has changed!Thats really a myth.Though the new world brings us a convenient life.It also brings more problems.For examplepopulationresources environment and so on.We know that the worlds population is growing faster and faster.
Its more than 6 billion now.Its a very big number.We can say the number of worlds population is like the number of the stars in the universe.And if it goes on like thatI cant image what will happen.As the second problemthe world is short of resources now.In daily lifewe need waterrock oilcoal and other things.Day after daythe resources disappear fast.And they wont appear.Because most of them are not renewable resources.The third problem is environment.
Everyone talks about it.The weather is hotter and hotter .That means we pollute the environment seriously.Our cars make the air dirty.Old batteries make the soil poisonous.Waste water makes clean water dirty.So we dont have fresh airfecund soil and pure water.Ohno.Stop polluting!Now we human beings should face the new challenge .
We must think more about our mother earth.Remember:We dont have another earth!
Everybody is good, the title of my speech today is "my dream"
Everyone have a dream, and is very good, I am no exception. I have a little dream, when I succeed at the goal, to accomplish more dreams. Beginning, I was a baby, a thought become very strong, like the children in the shaolin temple, martial arts high strength. But I think to leave my parents to far away places to practice martial arts, hard work, a little loathe to give up. During my childhood, I have a dream, I hope I have the money. Adults asked: "little girl, with money you are going to do?" "I'm going to buy bubble gum" "if you have a lot of money?" "I'm going to buy a lot of bubble gum" "if you have money to burn?" "I'll do buy bubblegum factory." Innocent childhood we, indeed, have a kind heart, happiness and happiness is a the same piece of music.
Slowly into the primary school, courses more and more deep, knowledge more and more... Will feel the pressure. Now I have a dream. I hope I don't have a lot of homework to do every day. Play a little deprived, and 40% of the day we imprisoned in the classroom, a lot of time in learning. But in the face of learning, is a kind of fuzzy knowledge. As the saying goes, "a rare confused," the understanding of things, from feudalism to capitalism, the greater the more feel that their views are right. After a busy day and night lessons every day home from school, he was sleepy and tired, no taste to eat food taken late at night. This life is very monotonous, maybe sometimes miss many of my primary school classmates, sometimes with a class or a pair of hazy sleep. Hate rigid school clothes, I never wear it everywhere. On Saturday, Sunday's time is very short, children really want to temper, slowly understand life's too hard, hard and dream ok, I will try to see everyone in to life and got up early to catch late, grasp myself no longer loose. I also want to strive for their dreams.
My speech finished, thank you!
Good morning my friends,
I am a student from class 1 and my name is zou yu ting.I am very glad thatI can have the chance to make a speech before you. The topic of my speech is 'Weneed friendship'.
The word 'friend' has many meanings. It can be a partner, a playmate aswell as a confident. In all, our friends play an important role in ourlives.
Maybe you will ask me 'What is friendship? '.some people say thatfriendship is a ray of sunshine in the dark. Friendship can make you away fromdarkness and can cheer you up at the same time.
Based on this, you may come up with another question 'Why we needfriendship? '.We everyone needs friendship. No one can live alone. As life isfull of difficulties, we need friends to support and help us out. Our friendsgive us warnings against danger. Our friends offer us advice with regard to howto deal with various situations. True friends share not only happiness, but alsosadness.
As an old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend in deed. Fortunately, Ihave a true friend. She is not beautiful but very kind. Every time I met withproblems, she gave me courage and confidence to overcome
difficulties. When I was in low spirits, she told me some funny jokes tocheer me up. When I caught in distress , she rushed to me to lend a helpinghand. All these make it easy to stay with her. But every time when I greatlythanked her, she disappeared in the crowd.
Last but not the least. 'How should we make friends? 'Personally I thinkthe most important thing is to be friendly. Cheerfulness is the basis offriendship. Believe it , smile is an attractive thing. A friendly person alwaysthinks of others. People who refuse to consider others have few friends.
With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Why don’t you treasure ourfriendship? Come on, everyone! Let’s try our best to make friends.
I hope my speech will be successful. That's all. Thank you forlistening.
Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country orindividual people to address。 In other word, we have reached the stage thatenvironmental problems be solved for international view。 To what extent do youagree or disagree?
In recent years, many nations have bee more aware of the environmentalissues each nation faces, such as air and water pollution。 The question is, arethe environmental issues a national problem or an international problem? It ismy belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of being aninternational problem needing international cooperation to resolve。
Because of the differences in environmental policies, resources andtechnology, international cooperation could provide quicker results and have agreater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations ofdiffering environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology。 Bypooling international resources and technology to address the environmentalproblems, the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed。Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting theresources and environment of the world as a whole。
One of the difficulities to an international resolution to environmentalissues is the difference in individual nations view and policies towardenvironmental protection。 In order for international cooperation to occur andsucceed, the nations of the world must submit themselved to internationalstandards and supervision by an international mission elected by theparticipating nations of the world。 All members must agree to abide by thestandards established。
The environmental issues facing each country are not unrelated to the wellbeing of the rest of the world。 The impact is long term and international inscope。 Without international cooperation and agreement to address suchenvironmental issues as glacial melting at the South Pole, depletion of theozone layer, water pollution, air polution, etc。, the environmental conditionsof the world will deteriorate to the detriment of every nation, not just thosethat ignore or lack the resources and technology to resolve their individualenvironmental problems。
As part of the same planet, it is the responsibility of each individual andnation to protect the global environment。 Only international cooperation willprovide the timely solutions and the effectiveness needed to stop thedeteriorating global environment。
These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspire parts of “Moby Dick.”
Even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but think about how much worse it would have been then.
No one on land had any idea that anything had gone wrong. No search party was coming to look for these men. So most of us have never experienced a situation as frightening as the one in which these sailors found themselves, but we all know what it's like to be afraid.
We know how fear feels, but I'm not sure we spend enough time thinking about what our fears mean.
As we grow up, we're often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, just another childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.
And I think it's no accident that we think this way. Neuroscientists have actually shown that human beings are hard'wired to be optimists.
So maybe that's why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself. “Don't worry,” we like to say to one another. “Don't panic.” In English, fear is something we conquer. It's something we fight.
Hello,everybody !it is my great honor to be here to share my idea with y,I will talk something about DREAM——A word that has changed the world.
“What do you think is the word that has really changed our world ”
When I was asked about this question for the first time ,without thinkingit too much ,a word flash into my mind ——DREAM ,le more or lessdream about different things ,to be a teacher ,a doctor ,a scientist ,abusinessman and so on these people who have dreams should be respected,because Dreams make the world go around grow great by our bigmen are great dreamers in their yone has a dream ,and everythingstarts as one’s daydream.
Martin Luther king had a desired for a future where blacks andwhites would coexist harmoniously as speaking the way he did,heeducated,he inspired,he informed not just the people there,but people throughoutAmerica and unborn pushed forward the pace of American blacksociety towards the racial equality .
Thomas Edison had a dreamed of a lamp that could be operated byelectricity,began where he stood to put his dream into action,and despite morethan ten thousand failures,he stood by that dream until he made it a physicalreality!And today,his dream lights up the world at night.
Walt Disney had a ,in itself,wasn't unusual -- he was dreamed of making the first animated feature film,and of building anamusement park that parents could enjoy right along with their Disneyempowered his dream and today,Disneyland,Disney world and Disney theme parksattract around the world thrill millions of visitors each and every year.
John edy had a wanted to land a man on the moon and returnhim safely to earth so as to restore faith in the American way of edy empowered his dream and 8 years later Neil Armstrong stepped on theface of the moon landing certainly gave Americans new foundconfidence.
Dream --- A word that has changed the world Yes ,I would say so ,wouldn’tyou
Youth is a special life relay station ,the growth with the worry ,the lifefeeling become aware happily with the dream ,collected a unique youth melody inhere .
We as we decide and choose,so are our lives e end,forming our own destiny is what ambition is most importantly,You are the one you choose to be.
It is easy to waste our lives ,our days ,our minutes is easy to existthan living hold fast to your dreams,For if dreams die,life is abroken-winged bird,That cannot fast to your dreams,For when dreamsgo,life is a barren field,Frozen with snow.
A Loving Gentleness
Do you know what a loving gentleness is like? Have you had a taste of it or shown it to others?
Surely you can get some idea of it from swallows under the eaves. They show it when they are busy flying to and fro to feed their nestlings. You can see it from the moon shedding cool light over the scorched land so that it becomes comfortable. You can also feel it when you listen to the clock ticking steadily, so considerate as not to disturb a sweet dream. Again you can find it in the heart of a young girl. She is charming because of her loving tenderness.
It's also a picture of loving tenderness for a youngster playing a pampered child in his or her mother' lap. But later, the person is so much changed by fate that tenderness is gone together with values of life. Some people are born uncouth. But tossed by life's storms they become gentle and good-humored unexpectedly, like mushrooms sprouting from the root of the tree of life.
True, gentleness or a tender care is often associated with love and kindness. It can also be found in a good- natured or broad-minded person. It is not fair to think that it has anything to do with weakness.
Gentle as spring breeze, it cracks the frozen river with its light touch. Soft as cotton, it renders a steel ball bouncing high from the ground paralyzed in its embrace. Similarly, tenderhearted as friendship, it melts the toughness of an ironwilled man and reduces him to grateful tears.
A loving gentleness is too subtle to describe. Though it seems invisible, inaudible and evasive to the touch, it is still perceptible. It is the quintessence of kindness, enthusiasm, love and moral support. It gives strength and power. It is the source of beauty.
Hello everyone!
I don't know if you remember Goethe once said: There is a long time between today and tomorrow; "Learn to do things quickly while you are still in the spirit".
For example, the luxury giant Louis Vuitton, the wonderful ups and downs of his life turning point amazed future generations. Born into a carpenter's family in the countryside, before the age of 14, his most contact was with flying sawdust. His life took a turn when he was 14, and he became a luxury giant.
When Louis Vuitton was 14 years old, two fashionably dressed young men came to the village. They laughed at the villagers for their old-fashioned clothes, "Why does the moon look so dirty in this ghost place"! These words stabbed Louis Vuitton deeply, and he was determined to go to Paris and see what the difference was between the people and the moon. After wandering all the way, Louis Vuitton finally came to Paris, but found that the moon here is not as clean and complete as that of his hometown, and the people's dresses made him an eye-opener. The destitute child lives in extreme hardship in Paris with no family and no reason. Later, he was starved to the door of a high-end luggage store, and the good-hearted owner rescued him. When he woke up, he seized the opportunity and asked the owner to take him in as a clerk. The shop owner rejected him, and after some setbacks, Louis Vuitton finally found his first job in Paris as an ordinary clothes bundler. He cherishes this job very much, asks the masters for advice humbly, studies the practice assiduously, and strives to make every detail perfect. He has always believed that everything learned today will become the seeds of tomorrow, and everything you have learned cannot be viewed from an overly utilitarian perspective. They are neither high nor low, nor worthless. It is safe”, what you sow today will reap what kind of tomorrow.
A year later, Louis Vuitton again came to the luggage store where he had initially starved, and again asked the owner to take him in, but the owner again refused him. In the end, he used his intelligence and ingenuity to make the shopkeeper make an exception to take him as an apprentice.
Apprentice Louis Vuitton is diligent, humble and enthusiastic in the store. Because he has worked as a carpenter, the luggage he makes is stronger; because he has worked as a bundler, the luggage he makes is more scientific and reasonable in space design. Soon, Louis Vuitton became a young master with excellent craftsmanship, and the luggage he introduced has maintained a good and outstanding sales record. Finally, he opened a luggage store on the Champs-élysées, paving the way for the advent of the fashion brand LV (Louis Vuitton).
It can be seen that any success is inseparable from accumulation. Without accumulation, there will be no discovery and innovation, and there will be no creation. In today's increasingly competitive society, we can't just work hard, but also pay attention to scientific thinking.
My speech is over, thank you all!
亲爱的朋友们:
大家好!
不知道大家记不记得歌德曾经说过:在今天和明天之间,有一段很长的时间;“趁你还有精神的时候,学习迅速办事”。
好比奢侈品巨头路易·威登,他人生转折的精彩跌宕让后人赞叹不已。他出生于乡下一个木匠之家,14岁之前他接触最多的是飞溅的木屑。14岁时他的人生有了转折,他后来成了奢侈品巨头。
在路易·威登14岁时,村子里来了两位打扮时尚的年轻人,他们嘲笑村民们衣着老土,“这个鬼地方怎么月亮都显得那么肮脏”!这些话深深地刺伤了路易·威登,他决心要去巴黎,看看那里的人和月亮究竟有什么不同。一路颠沛游离,路易·威登终于来到巴黎,却发现这里的月亮并不比家乡的干净圆满,人们的装扮倒让他大开眼界。这个赤贫的孩子在巴黎无亲无故,生活异常艰难困苦。后来,他竟饿倒在一家高档皮箱店门口,好心肠的店主将其救起。他醒来后,抓住机会,请求店主收留他当一名店员。店主拒绝了他,经过一番坎坷挫折,路易·威登终于在巴黎找到了第一份工作,当了一名普通的捆衣工。他十分珍惜这份工作,虚心向师傅们请教,刻苦钻研实践,力争每一个细节都完美无缺。他始终相信:今天所学的一切都必将成为明天的种子,不能用过于功利的眼光来看待眼前所学的一切,它们并没有高低贵贱之分,更不会毫无价值,“既来之则安之”,在今天种下什么,以后就会收获一个什么样的明天。
一年后,路易·威登再次来到最初饿倒的那家皮箱店,再次请求店主收留他,店主再次拒绝了他。最终他用自己的聪明与才智让店主破例收留了他做一名学徒。
学徒路易·威登在店里勤奋精进,谦卑热忱,因为做过木工,他做的皮箱更加结实;因为做过捆衣工,他做的皮箱在空间设计上更加科学合理。很快,路易·威登成为一位手艺超群的年轻师傅,他所推出的皮箱一直保持着良好突出的销量记录。最后,他在香榭丽舍大街开了一家皮箱店,为时尚品牌lv(路易威登)的问世开辟出了道路。
可见任何成功都离不开积累,没有积累就谈不上发现与创新,也就没有创造。在当下这个日益竞争激烈的社会,我们不能一味的努力,还要讲究科学的思考。
我的演讲结束,谢谢大家!
The judges dear colleagues:
Everybody is good!
I believe that not long ago the unit of organization training to everyone left a deep impression that are in high altitude timid to conquer yourself after the joy of encouragement and warm embrace together to complete the project after the excited tears dribs and drabs are so vivid and real stayed in our memory forever. Flow through the sweat and tears we can understand the what?
From the beginning my team is faced with many difficulties: older on average physical quality is bad the heart not neat team such as fragmented... Therefore we wryly his team named "sunset". Still we devote and participation in gradually found that team's weakness overcome difficulties strengthen communication and cooperation at the same time of brave to challenge themselves a concerted effort to complete each project.
In big bully game our feet together formed the containment the players have different walking speed bad grasp rhythm we walked so hard. Any error the team cannot be further. Us against each other from the original suspicion eventually realized that to complete the project the heart want to go to one place time to go to one place. We try to roll up the arm to form a whole we shouted rhythm slowly have the tacit understanding try to be consistent pace although difficult but insist on comes to an end. In our understanding expand training for first as long as everyone in the team to be able to devote to complete each project has been a great success!
And escape the walls of the project is completed let me see the potential of everyone in the group of excitation and a collective work need the tacit understanding and sacrifice. Initially for all 70 individuals in the case of can't talk to climb over 4 meters high wall of escape 2 I was skeptical I think even a person to climb this wall is impossible. When have I the idea of people may not be in the minority. In the hesitation we according to the coach teaching method into action but because the teams who violated the rules not only to stop by the coach also let the chief generation we are being punished. The drizzle our mood become very heavy involuntarily shed a tear. Second everyone seemed to have the tacit understanding pull up a ladder and protective wall and do you remember the rules no longer talk clapping laughing concentrate on what we want to do together act quickly. First up 10 best efforts of the colleagues below build a ladder with colleagues endured the pain of shoulder and legs everyone in the mind only one idea: we took a ship to sink must help all players within the given time climb walls to escape!
This process the prism is sacrifice and cooperate. A team must be someone in silently sacrifice but the pay all the players look in the eyes in mind. Individual's success is not the success of the team only a smooth over all is the real victory so we must put our heads together in the most efficient the most appropriate way to the end of the day a colleague over the past to this end everyone to his own effort. After the completion of the project the coach announced we took only a quarter of the time at that moment everybody finally tasted the joy of victory.
From training I also realized that each person all the time since birth not grow in the team oneself is a member of the collective the first thing to give full play to their potential trying to do their work to strengthen coordination play to their ability to innovate. Second the development of the team is the real development. Encounter a problem must focus on the wisdom of the whole team to form a unified plan then according to the plan implementation adjustment method and strategy in time to be the best. Third will not give up speaking out of turn strengthen the courage and perseverance believe you can do it. The fourth is to learn the perspective-taking standing in the other person's point of view for others change an Angle to think more understanding and more caring.
In our successful challenge behind each project from beginning to end is the common effort of all our players. We are a whole only trust each other support each other make oneself should do a good job in every step of the way can our collective into a rich combat effectiveness the execution of the team.
Through this training activities let I to team consciousness and personal role in the team feeling to the deep. If from the activities of the comprehension to the reasonable use of in the future work we believe that our tomorrow will be better our team will be more powerful and perfect!
When we go to school, we are taught that life is not always going well, we will meet all kinds of difficulties. Everyone hears the words, but when they meet difficulties, it is hard for them to be OK with it, they feel the life is hopeless, just as hearing is easy, while taking action is another thing. Once a famous business person said that the one who faced the failure and stood up, he or she will be successful. I absolutely believe it, we are in front of so many accidents, we need to face the setback and learn from it, every setback is a test for us, only the one who passes the test can succeed. Such as when we feel it hard to study, then give up, how can we make progress. Life teaches us lesson every minute, the adverse situation is a good chance to upgrade ourselves.
当我们上学的时候,我们就被教育生活并不总是一帆风顺,我们会遇见各种各样的困难。每个人都听过这些话,但是当遇到困难时,对于他们来说是很难接受的,觉得生活无望,就如说起来是一回事,做起来是另一回事。曾经一位出名的生意人浆果,谁面对困难,振作起来,他或她就能成功。我深信此话,我们面对很多的意外,需要面对挫折,从中学会东西,每一次的挫折就是一次考验,只有通过考验的人能成功。比如我们感到学习困难时,就放弃,怎么能进步呢。生活时时刻刻都在教会我们东西,困境是升级自身的好机会。
My dear friends,
My mother is a family of women, she did not work. I have two sister, the family is not very rich so young my mother to take good care of our three special especially hard. In this mother and the mother of all thank the world.

Hello, everyone. My name is , I come from Shandong Province. As everyone knows, Shandong is the birthplace of football. So, today I want to say something about football.
Football is originated in ancient China which was called cuju at that time. Cuju has a long history of over two thousand years. It started from Chunqiu Period and was very popular in Song Dynasty. In Song Dynasty, even the women loved play Cuju at that time . As everyone knows, ,Gao Qiu ,the worst government official in the novel of Water Margin , specializes in playing cuju and by coincidence, he met the prince, and then he was promoted to an aga.
Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the feudal society ,nobody played cuju any longer in Qing dynasty. And now, cuju is protected as a kind of culture heritage in China .
In the 17th century, cuju was spread to Europe and developed into the sport called modern football. In the 18th century, some British soldiers and poor workers began to play a kind of sport by kicking a ball filled of leather , soon, this sport called football became famous all over the Europe.
And now. football is one of the most popular sports in the world. There are more than 4 billion of football fans all over the world. People like football ,because it has magnificent skills、fast speed、wonderful goals、perfect teamwork and handsome football players. For example, Beckham、kaka.
Now, there are many famous football clubs likes Real Madrid,Barcelona,Manchester and so on. They have the greatest players and coaches in the world. For example, Real Madrid, it has one of the greatest players in the world—— C. Ronaldo.He has strong muscles, superb skills, and fast speed. He has a yearly salary of more than 10 million Euro which means that he is one of the most valuable football player in the world. In 20__, C.Ronaldo won the UEFA Champions League and then he got the FIFA World Player of the year.
The FIFA world cup is the most important competition in international football. The World Cup is held every four years, but the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over a three-year period, using regional qualifying tournaments. Only eight nations have won the World Cup. Brazil is the most successful World Cup team, having won the tournament five times. With five titles, Brazil is the most successful World Cup team and also the only nation which have played in every World Cup to date至今, and they will host the 20th World Cup in 20__.Whats more, Ronaldo, who used to be a Brazil player, keeps the record of the most goals for the World Cup.
The World Cup Trophy , is made of pure gold. The bottom of trophy is made of two layers of malachite , which can be carved 17 champion countries. The FIFA set a new rule that the new champion can’t have the trophy forever and it should be given back to the FIFA. What’s more, every champion country just can keep it till next world cup while their name is carved on the trophy
Football is a sport. Through sports, we can become stronger, and smarter. However, football is not just a sport. Sometimes, football is a kind of religion or a kind of belief. It could uintes us together to overcome any difficulties. In some poor
countries, football is the only joy which the children could afford. And sometimes, football could heal the wound. The War could destroy a country, but never a boy’s football dream. In 20__ , Iraq won the Asian cup.
Sometimes, football is violent, sometimes, football can be complicated, sometimes, football could hurt the players. But no matter how it transforms, it still helps people to believe themselves, find happiness and hold to their dreams. What’s more, football is a part of life forever.
