Me and my Fears

Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:

It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.

About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.

While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”

I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!

As it turned out, my dear old professor was right. Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!

Thank you.

战胜恐惧

尊敬的评委，各位来宾，女士们先生们，我很荣幸在这个美妙的星期六早上来到这里，与你们分享我生命中一段特别的经历。

大概一年半以前，我参加了生平第一次演讲比赛。站在麦克风前，面对观众们期待的眼神，我竟紧张的说不出话来。那一刻，我是多么无助啊!

我对于英语的挚爱从未改变，但却从此失去了面对公众演讲的勇气。当老教授鼓励我参加希望英语风采大赛时，我拒绝了。他直视我的眼睛，说了一番令我终身难忘的话。“你瞧，”他说，“我们都有自己的恐惧。你可能会在一场篮球比赛中扭脚，并从此害怕再打球。你只能用行动去克服自己的恐惧，逃避是没有用的。生活中的成功者往往是永不放弃的人。”

我花了一整天时间思考他的话。 然后，我做出了一个勇敢而明智的决定： 我要参加中央电视台第五届“希望之星”英语风采大赛!

老教授是对的。我发挥出了自己的水平，一路杀进了全国总决赛。此时此刻，当我再一次站在了麦克风前，仍然心跳不止，但更重要的是，我终于能够勇敢地面对我的恐惧了，而这已足够了。

I Regain Confidence

I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years. I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted. But one of the panel members told me: "You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged." My life has never been the same since. I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.

As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party. Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English. Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf. To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. As the dwarf, I was a big hit.

Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.

A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.

Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world. I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites. I would rather be myself. I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. Please, be yourself.

我重树信心

大学生活的几年里，当我参加第一次面试时，我的自信心受到了沉重的打击。我向“学生剧团”申请出演一个主角，而且我十分自信地认为我会被录用。但是,其中有个剧团成员告诉我:“你似乎不太合适出演这个角色，因为你的身高有点问题。”我从未遇到过这种情况。我穿着高跟鞋来弥补我的身高，采用心理策略和技巧来掩盖自己信心的缺乏。但是，不论我怎样努力进入角色，感觉还是缺少些什么。

作为英语俱乐部的主席，我为英语晚会组织排演了《白雪公主》短剧。不幸的是，我们找不到合适的人选出演最后一个小矮人。这个角色必须生性幽默，英语流利。突然，所有人的目光都转向了我，我知道那个小矮人就是我了。让我极度奇怪而又高兴的是，一上台，我完全投入到演出中，而且我那幽默的天性被发挥得淋漓尽致。作为一个‘’小矮人”，我取得了巨大的成功。

的确，我们中的任何一个人都是千百万中的一员，但我们中的每个人都是一个与众不同的个体。发挥我们自己的个性会改变我们的生活，使它们成为美丽的万花筒。

失去了多样性的世界是个冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲剧不是个矮、害羞或丑陋，而是将自己的个性迷失在一个克隆的世界里，那里到处都是典型的酷男孩或无瑕、迷人的好姑娘。

如果让我选择，我宁可面貌五陋，也不愿生活在这样一个世界里。我宁可做一个伴随“白雪公主”的真实的小矮人，也不愿做“白雪公主”世界里的一个白雪公主，而随波逐流。我宁可作为一个真实的自我而出现。我愿将自己独特的、与众不同的色彩奉献给多姿多彩的世界。“走自己的路，让别人去说吧!”

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。

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a speech here. Today my topic is “I love you, China.”

Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese. Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I love you, China!”

I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chinese. I’m proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.

I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boss once invited my family to dinner. While at table, he looked at me and asked: “Little boy, how long have you been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China. For you are offering us the best education.”

When I came back from the USA, my friends asked me: “How do you feel about your staying there?” “Wonderful” I said. “Then why do you come back?” Hearing this, I told them there were lots of beautiful countries in the world, but none of them can compare with our own country—China. How true the saying is: “There’s no place like home!”

I love you, China. As a young student, all we should do is to study hard and devote ourselves whole-heartedly in the future, to the great cause of building you into an even stronger and greater country in the world. I love you, my dear motherland! I love you, China!

Thank you for your listening !

It have been discussed for a long time that how to deal with the uncivilized behaviors during the travel, such as write on the place of historic interests, or claim to old trees. This kind of things happened in China more often than any other countries. What can we do to prevent those actions? Though we have advocate education of the tourists for years, the situation was not better than be imagined. In my opinion, we still have to encourage the education of our tourists, but with some change. For example, we shouldnot only disseminate Don t Do Sth. , but also with the reason and an explanation that it is not cool to sign names or words everywhere, in the contrary, we have to ashamed of that. Make a comparison between foreigners and us can also increase our consciousness.

它已经讨论了很长一段时间,如何处理在旅游不文明行为,如写在历史的地方利益,或声称老树。这种事情经常发生在中国比其他任何国家。我们可以做些什么来阻止这些行为呢?虽然我们多年来提倡教育游客,情况并不比被想象。在我看来,我们仍然需要鼓励的教育我们的游客,但有一些改变。例如,我们不应该只传播不做某事,但也和一个解释的原因是不酷签署名称或字无处不在,相反,我们必须感到羞愧。外国人之间做个比较,我们还可以增加我们的意识。

Dear teacher and classmates:

I am very glad to make a speech here in this class again! This time, I'd like to talk something about English.

I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.

When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.

Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.

On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.

I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.

I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. I'll introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.

I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.

If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.

there will be a speech on our school playground this saturday afternoon, whose theme is “to civilize schoolyard is my responsibility”. all the teachers and students are required to attend. in the activity, the first two winners in each grade will give such valuable advice as follows: we should not litter anywhere in order to keep our campus clean; we should love flowers, graand trees so that everyone can enjoy the greenness; we should behave well instead of running after one another, quarreling and fighting noisily; we should care for others so that our school will be full of love. we believe our school will become more and more beautiful and peaceful。

I see the film, not only deeply immersed in the plot of the film, sometimes nervous, sometimes moved in tears, and I also grow some extracurricular knowledge.

参考翻译:

今天，我和弟弟一家人去看电影——“少年派的奇幻漂流历险记”。

我们怀着高兴的心情到了电影院。电影里的主人翁是一个名叫派的孩子，有一天，派的一家人要搬家，刚到船上，就下起了暴风雨，无情的暴风雨把大船吹得左摇右摆，随时都有翻船的可能，派急忙跳到了附着大船的救生艇上，而正当别人也准备跳的时候，突然，救生艇的绳子断了，那些人跳下了海里，更不幸的是大船也翻了沉下了海底，最后只有派一个人幸存了下来。派孤独地坐在救生艇上抱头放声痛哭。突然，一只叫查理帕克——孟加拉虎从救生艇上的雨蓬里跑了出来，吓得派跑到了船头，看见查理帕克并没有伤害他的意思，由于海里大风，感觉寒冷，于是渐渐地靠在了一起共同取暖。过了不久，他们成了好朋友。不知过了多长时间，救生艇终于飘到了一个小岛上，他们高兴地在沙滩上跑来跑去，可是第二天派最好的朋友——查理帕克跑进了森林里后就再也没有回来。半年过去了，派找了很多地方都没有找到。一天，派生病倒下了，幸运的是，来岛上考古的人发现了派，准备把他带岀城市，离岛前派哭得很伤心，并不是因为获救了激动地哭，而是担心他最好的朋友查理帕克，是否发生了什么意外。

看了这部电影，我不仅深深的沉浸在电影的情节中，时而心情紧张，时而感动的眼泪汪汪，而且我还增长了一些课外的知识。

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good afternoon, Honorable Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen, the title of my speech is Defeat makes me more confident.

Most people may think that defeat is a kind of obstacle that prevents you from being successful. Quite the contrary, I believe defeat makes me more confident.

As you may know, if you can not be an excellent loser you will never win. Everything in my life always shows both my advantages and disadvantages. I have been entering a lot of contests. I don’t care about the results, but feel it is more important to learn something during the process. After I failed in the contests each time, the judges always gave me useful comments and suggestion addressing my shortcomings and helped me improve myself step by step. So, now I am more self-confident to face any challenges and believe I will be the final winner in my life.

创新，一个我们耳熟能详的词。尤其是这样一个飞速发展的时代，这个词时时撞击我们的耳膜。但是，创新，其丰富的内涵，却是许多人尽其一生孜孜以求，也未必可以充分了解的。

朋友，你认识创新吗?

创新其实是一个梦想。

中国古代曾有一个人，背负纸做的翅膀，义无反顾地纵身跳下高高的山崖，希冀像鸟儿一样飞翔在晴空。在粉身碎骨跳下的一瞬间，他是否隐约看到了碧空中可以自由翱翔的飞机?

英国有一位作家，在他一生的作品中，尽情幻想，将热气球、潜水艇、电报提前了几十、甚至几百年带入我们的生活。在凡尔纳下笔的一刹那，他是否已经预先看到了遥远的未来?

梦想标示着丰富的想象力，想象力为创新提供源泉。创新从梦想中蜕变，以梦想为根，受梦想浇灌。像永不失天真的爱因斯坦吹出的肥皂泡，在空冥的大地上，不断破灭又不断上升。

创新需要怀疑与批判。

怀疑是创新的萌芽，批判是创新的成长。在怀疑中发现错误，在批判中改正错误，创新才能完成。然而怀疑的精神、批判的勇气，人们为之付出了太多太多。

1543年的春天，人们震惊了，一个人，他居然宣称地球是围绕太阳转的。上帝啊!让这个人不得好死。人们肆意地嘲笑，诅咒。

终于，诅咒灵验了，六十七年后的一天，在美丽的罗马鲜花广场，那个虔诚地捍卫并发展了太阳中心学说的布鲁诺被高高地绑在十字架上。一个火把投向他，烧焦的肉体发出一阵阵异味。死亡的气息在游荡。突然，一个声音从那扭曲的身躯中迸发出来：“火并不能把我征服，未来的世界会了解我，知道我的价值。”

是的，火并没有征服他，那愤怒的火焰，那毁灭的火焰，只能把挂在伪真理脸上的面具烧焦。弥漫在鲜花广场的灰烬不愿散去，它要告诉我们：创新，踏着用生命证明了的怀疑与批判，终究会打破传统的桎梏，得到永生。

创新要求深刻。

我们都知道，阿基米德在洗澡时发现了浮力定律，成就了科学史上的一段美谈。可是我们是否还记得曹冲称象的故事?那可爱的孩子也不自觉地运用着浮力定律。然而，后者只被当成一个睡前故事流传于孩子们的枕边，前者却孕育了物理学的一个基本原理。

有时候，创新并不是很难，说不准什么时候，一个思想的火花闪过，创新就来到眼前。可火花不能长久，创新却要求永恒。于是创新要求深刻的思考，追求本质的东西，要求我们更进一步地去挖掘它具有的创新意识。

然而挖掘不是最难，最难的是那意识的产生。你一定游过泳，一定玩过水，你一定感受到过水的压力，但你能说，你可以造出浮力定律吗?甚至你敢说，会想到用水来称象吗?恐怕不敢吧?生活中许多事情就是这样，在你经历时，就已触摸到创新的边缘了，然而我们却没有那个观念，有意识地将创新完成。

作为大学生，我们的知识仍然贫乏，也许我们不能有多少伟大的具体的创新。但是我们一定要培养我们的创新意识。这意识中包含着许多内容。首先，我们要学会梦想，学会不为现实堵塞我们的天真，不时地做一做童年的梦，想一想飞上火星的浪漫，想一想生活于外太空的美妙。不要只盯着别墅、跑车，做物质的奴隶。然后，让我们学会怀疑与批判。不要吓倒在老师那威严的面孔下，不要认为凡是印成了铅字的东西就是真理。昆德拉说：“人类一思考，上帝就发笑。”相信自己，坚持怀疑，敢于批判，不惧权威，方显英雄本色。再次，让我们深沉一下，稳重一点，不妨压抑一下青春的律动，多思考一些东西，多研究一些学问，不要有了一个奇特的创意，一个未闻的发现就妄自高兴，而到实践时却束手无策。最后也是最重要的，就是要培养自己的创新意识，尤其是对专业中新事物的敏感度。伦琴因为一张被感光了的底片，意识到X射线的存在，最终获得第一届诺贝尔奖，牛顿因为一只落下的苹果而发现万有引力。他们对于专业的敏锐，是我们在学习中真正要掌握到手的知识。

认识创新。“认”是一个认知，明白其表象的过程;而“识”是一个理解，探索其本质含义的过程。认识创新，我们不仅仅要“认”，更重要的是要“识”。

Innovation, one we are familiar with the word .In particular, this is an era of
