the road not taken in life
we must learn to love the lonely path, not fear it. not always is the popular path a safe one. there are always options. the road less traveled can be fun.

crossing the sea
good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. the title of my speech today is crossing the sea. an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in his poem we and they:
all the people like us are we
and everyone else is they
we live over the sea
while they live over the way
we eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives
they who gobble their rice off a leaf
are horrified out of their lives.
when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? todays society, of course, is an entirely different picture. those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.
indeed, just take china as an example: our modern life has been influenced by western style of living in so many ways that its no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds and even rather elderly people dressed in apple jeans.
however, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today. what is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nations mentality. just look around.
it is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the western culture. but it is not only in china that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.
take the chinese acupuncture as another example: this traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the west and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body -- an idea which would strike any westerner as incredible in the past!
ladies and gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before. we live in a particular era when countries, east and west, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values. we live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race. to cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter
therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between china and the rest of the world.
it is my happiest dream that the new generation of chinese will not only grow up drinking coca-cola and watching hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures; benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.
to end my speech, i would like to quote rudyard kipling again:
all the people like us are we
and everyone else is they
but once you cross over the sea
you will end by looking on we
as only a sort of they thank you.
译文:穿越海洋
女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。
英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道:
像我们的人是我们
其余的人是他们
我们生活在海这边
他们生活在路那边
我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉
吞吃粽叶包饭的他们吓得要死。
第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。
的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。
然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。
不久以前，大学生还只是束手空坐，等待政府给他们分配工作;如今，又有多少大学生正在做充分准备，为争取任何工作机会而激烈角逐?
20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来，今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加演讲比赛的诸位，谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下篇四：21世纪英语演讲诸康妮演讲稿
17岁深圳外国语学校高三学生诸康妮，收到了7所美国高校录取书。不久前她还参加了湖南卫视脱口秀节目《天天向上》，还展示了一段演讲。现在我们就来一睹她完整版演讲比赛的风采吧。
discover yourself
when i was 6 i constantly pictured myself as an elegant and skilled pianist rendering chopin’s nocturne beautifully on the stage, receiving warm applause after my
performance. as i furthered my piano lessons, it was hard to be oblivious of my non-gifted skills. sometimes i couldn’t help but have this feeling of despair when i woke up to the reality and discovered that my goal was unrealistic. brutal but real, it was the first time i had discovered that i couldn’t have it all.
when i was 12 i thought the coolest job in the entire universe was to be a surgeon. i spent hours and hours watching the drama “grey’s anatomy”, and couldn’t help falling in love with the kind of life those doctors lead on the screen. i was utterly mesmerized by the scalpel and all those fancy medical terms they use. however, i stopped dreaming about being a surgeon when i discovered that it was the idea of being a surgeon that appealed to me, not what it truly was. therefore, the dream ended and i discovered some more about myself.
this year i turned 16, i could proudly say i do not dream to be but ascertain to pursue being a lawyer in the future. since junior high school i was always awarded the “most eloquent debater” in every single debate i participated in. i cannot only think logically but also deliver my thoughts promptly. my huge interest in philosophy also adds to my
adjust to what’s out there. and by that, ladies and gentleman, i’m proud to say that i’ve discovered part of myself, still discovering today standing on this stage, and hopefully a lot more in the future. i will always keep this embedded into my heart that things do not change, we do.篇五：第十一届21世纪杯英语演讲冠军曹丰演讲稿
our future: a battle between dreams and reality
good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
when i was in the primary school, i have a dream. i want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all. when i was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. and when eventually i got into the university, my dream was to graduate.
ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real. it is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies. flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. a hundred years ago, man could not fly was still regarded as the reality. now if that was really the reality, what did the wright brothers do? how did some of you get to macau? only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.
people say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams. and if, unfortunately, mr. reality wins this war, then i see no future of mankind at all. aids will never be curable as this is the reality; people living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this is the reality; disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance is the reality.
now that i am a university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences. but at the same time, i have a dream deeply rooted in our future. one day, people living in the areas now sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their
我们的未来：梦想与现实之间的战斗
下午好，女士们，先生们：
当我在小学，我有一个梦想。我想发明一种可以使你从一个地方到另一个在没有时间在所有设备。当我在中学的时候，我的梦想是我的理想大学的研究。当我终于进了大学，我的梦想是毕业。
多么可怜！当我们长大了，我们的梦想不变得更加现实。为什么呢？为什么我们要改变我们的梦想，因此，为了让它成为"；完成了"；？我们为什么要到所谓的“投降；现实"；？什么是现实？
女士们，先生们，现实是不真实的。这是一个障碍使我们从所有可能的幻想。飞行，例如，一直是人类几千年来的梦想。一百年前，"；人不能飞"；仍被视为“现实”；。如果那是真的现实，那么莱特兄弟怎么办？你们当中有些人是怎么去澳门？只有当我们相信现实是不是真正的我们可以翱翔的梦想。
人们说，我们的未来是一个现实与我们的梦想战斗。如果，不幸的是，先生赢得这场战争的现实，那么我认为没有人类的未来的所有。艾滋病将永远不会被治愈，因为这是现实；人们生活在不发达的国家将遭受饥饿永远因为这是现实；不同国家之间的争端将不会因为误解和偏执是现实的解决。
女士们，先生们，你们有多少个能赚很多钱的梦想？请举起你的手。哦，相当多的你！事实上，女士们、先生们，这不是梦，而是一个任务。我们每一个人都赚钱，对吗？无论如何，我希望你的任务将完成。你们有多少人认为你已经完成你的梦想，你别做梦了吗？尊敬的评委们，你怎么认为？刘易斯曾说，"；你永远不会老，新梦想。"；所以我们的未来，请梦想是不切实际的。
我是一名大学生，我的目标是以优异的成绩毕业。但同时，我有一个梦深深植根于我们的未来。有一天，生活在该地区现在战争的恐怖逼人的人将能够坐在他们的家庭和享受每一刻。有一天，来自富裕国家的人民都愿意分享他们与那些来自贫穷国家和贫穷国家将最终能够使自己的幸福生活。有一天，在这个全球化时代不同的文化与它们之间的宽容和不友好的对抗并存的将被淘汰。有一天，全世界都将与我分享梦想，我们都将有助于使我们的梦想成真。
