Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I』m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is 「youth」. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
First I want to ask you some questions:
1、 Do you know what is youth?
2、 How do you master your youth?
Youth
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 st .
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.
Thank you!
青春
青春不是指歲月,而是指心態。粉嫩的臉,紅潤的唇,矯健的膝並不是青春。青春表現在意志的堅強與懦弱。想像的豐富與蒼白、情感的充沛與貧乏等方面。青春是生命深處清泉的噴涌。
青春是追求。只有當勇氣蓋過怯弱、進取壓倒苟安之時,青春才存在。果如此,則60見之長者比20歲之少年更具青春活力。僅僅歲月的流逝並不能使他們衰老。而一旦拋棄理想和信念,則垂垂老也。
歲月只能使皮膚起皺。而一旦喪失生活的激情,則連靈魂枯老,使人生枯如死水,毫無活力。
60歲長者也好,16歲少年也罷,每個人的內心深處都渴望奇跡,都如孩子一般眨著期待的雙眼,期待著下一次,期待著生活的情趣,你我靈魂深處都有一座無線電中轉站------只有你我年輕,則總能聽到希望的呼喚,總能發出喜悅的歡呼,總能傳達勇氣的訊號,總能表現出青春的活力………
一旦青春的天線倒下,你的靈魂即為玩世不恭之雪、悲觀厭世之冰覆蓋;即使你年方20.其實你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天線高高聳起,就可以隨時接收到樂觀的電波-----即使你年過八旬,行將就木,而你卻仍然擁有青春,你仍然年輕。
謝謝!

羅斯福的四大自由(節選)
The Four Freedoms
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression -- everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -- everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide rection of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor -- anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called 「new order」 of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conception -- the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.
Since the beginning of our American history we have been engaged in change, in a perpetual, peaceful revolution, a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly, adjusting itself to changing conditions without the concentration camp or the quicklime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women, and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.
To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

葛底斯堡演講:
〔另譯〕:在八十七年前,我們的國父們在這塊土地上創建一個新的國家,乃基於對自由的堅信,並致力於所有男人皆生而平等的信念。〔註:father 在此應避免有血緣的聯想。在當時的人,尤其是在政治上,沒有男女平等的觀念,men指的是男人,而且沒有說出來的還是白種男人而已。為求忠實,不應將其視 為人類的通稱。)
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
當下吾等被捲入一場偉大的內戰,以考驗是否此國度,或任何肇基於和奉獻於斯者,可永垂不朽。吾等現相逢於此戰中一處浩大戰場。而吾等將奉獻此戰場之部分,作為這群交付彼者生命讓那國度勉能生存的人們最後安息之處。此乃全然妥切且適當而為吾人應行之舉。
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long enre. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
但,於更大意義之上,吾等無法致力、無法奉上、無法成就此土之聖。這群勇者,無論生死,曾於斯奮戰到底,早已使其神聖,而遠超過吾人卑微之力所能增 減。這世間不曾絲毫留意,也不長久記得吾等於斯所言,但永不忘懷彼人於此所為。吾等生者,理應當然,獻身於此輩鞠躬盡瘁之未完大業。吾等在此責無旁貸獻身 於眼前之偉大使命:自光榮的亡者之處吾人肩起其終極之奉獻—吾等在此答應亡者之死當非徒然—此國度,於神佑之下,當享有自由之新生—民有、民治、民享之政府當免於凋零。
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
肯尼迪就職演講
We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom. Symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning, signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you, and almighty God, the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed [3] nearly a century and three quarters ago.
The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life. And yet, the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue [4] around the globe. The belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth [5], from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness, or permit, the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today, at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well of ill, that we shall pay
any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty. This much we pledge and more.
To those old allies, whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do, in a host of [6] cooperative ventures [7]. Divided there is little we can do. For we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split us asunder.
To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our words that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view, but we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom, and to remember that in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe, struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required, not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
To our sister republics [8] south of our border, we offer a special pledge, to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress to assist free men and free governments in casting off [9] the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.
就職演講
--約翰·肯尼迪
今天我們慶祝的不是政黨的勝利,而是自由的勝利。這象徵著一個結束,也象徵著一個開端;意味著延續也意味著變革。因為我已在你們和全能的上帝面前,宣讀了我們的先輩在170年前擬定的庄嚴誓言。
現在的世界已大不相同了。人類的巨手掌握著既能消滅人間的各種貧困,又能毀滅人間的各種生活的力量。但我們的先輩為之奮斗的那些革命信念,在世界各地仍然有著爭論。這個信念就是人的權利並非來自國家的慷慨,而是來自上帝恩賜。
今天,我們不敢忘記我們是第一次革命的繼承者。讓我們的朋友和敵人同樣聽見我此時此地的講話:火炬已經傳給新一代美國人。這一代人在本世紀誕生,在戰爭中受過鍛煉,在艱難困苦的和平時期受過陶冶,他們為我國悠久的傳統感到自豪——他們不願目睹或聽任我國一向保證的、今天仍在國內外作出保證的人權漸趨毀滅。
讓每個國家都知道——不論它希望我們繁榮還是希望我們衰落一為確保自由的存在和自由的勝利,我們將付出任何代價,承受任何負擔,應付任何艱難,支持任何朋友,反抗任何敵人。 這些就是我們的保證——而且還有更多的保證。
對那些和我們有著共同文化和精神淵源的老盟友,我們保證待以誠實朋友那樣的忠誠。我們如果團結一致,就能在許多合作事業中無往不勝:我們如果分歧對立,就會一事無成——因為我們不敢在爭吵不休、四分五裂時迎接強大的挑戰。
對那些我們歡迎其加入到自由行列中來的新國家,我們恪守我們的誓言:決不讓一種更為殘酷的暴政來取代一種消失的殖民統治。我們並不總是指望他們會支持我們的觀點。但我們始終希望看到他們堅強地維護自己的自由——而且要記住,在歷史上,凡愚蠢地狐假虎威者,終必葬身虎口。
對世界各地身居茅舍和鄉村,為擺脫普遍貧困而斗爭的人們,我們保證盡最大努力幫助他們自立,不管需要花多長時間——之所以這樣做,並不是因為共產黨可能正在這樣做,也不是因為我們需要他們的選票,而是因為這樣做是正確的。自由社會如果不能幫助眾多的窮人,也就無法挽救少數富人。
對我國南面的姐妹共和國,我們提出一項特殊的保證——在爭取進行的新同盟中,把我們善意的話變為善意的行動,幫助自由人們和自由的政府擺脫貧困的枷鎖。但是,這種充滿希望的和平革命決不可以成為敵對國家的犧牲品。我們要讓所有鄰國都知道,我們將和他們在一起,反對在美洲任何地區進行侵略和顛覆活動。讓所有其他國家都知道,本半球的人仍然想做自己家園的主人。 1961. 1. 20

"Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves." ~Henry David Thoreau迷失自我,才能發現自我。——亨利·大衛·梭羅(美國作家及自然主義者)Everything about my future was ambiguously assumed. I would get into debt by going to college, then I would be forced to get a job to pay off that debt, while still getting into more and more debt by buying a house and a car. It seemed like a never-ending cycle that had no place for the possibility of a dream.
我們未來的一切似乎都模糊地設定好了,利用貸款上大學,然後為了還債被迫去找一份工作,還要為了買房買車背負更多的債務……這彷彿是一個無休止的循環,讓我們的夢想沒有實現的機會。
I want more—but not necessarily in the material sense of personal wealth and success. I want more out of life. I want a passion, a conceptual dream that wouldn't let me sleep out of pure excitement. I want to spring out of bed in the morning, rain or shine, and have that zest for life that seemed so intrinsic in early childhood.
我們想要的更多——並不是對於個人財富和成功等物質性需求,我們對於生活,想要更多。我想要熱忱、有概念的夢想,讓我不會空懷純粹的興奮入睡。我希望能在早晨一躍起床,無論是陽光普照還是刮風下雨,也能對生活充滿熱情,就像我們的童年時固有的一樣。
We all have a dream. It might be explicitly defined or just a vague idea, but most of us are so stuck in the muck of insecurity and self-doubt that we just dismiss it as unrealistic or too difficult to pursue.
我們都有夢想,無論它是明確的目標還是模糊的主意,但我們大多數人都受困於不安全和自我懷疑的泥濘里,我們把夢想看做是不現實的、難以追求的,最後放棄了。
We become so comfortable with the life that has been planned out for us by our parents, teachers, traditions, and societal norms that we feel that it's stupid and unsafe to risk losing it for the small hope of achieving something that is more fulfilling.
我們變得滿足於父母、老師、傳統及社會規條為我們營造的安逸生活。為了那一點點能夠為生活變得更充實的希望去冒險,我們會認為這是愚蠢和危險的。
"The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all." ~Jawaharlal Nehru過於謹慎才是最大的危險——賈瓦哈拉爾·尼赫魯(印度開國總理)Taking a risk is still a risk. We can, and will, fail. Possibly many, many, many times. But that is what makes it exciting for me. That uncertainty can be viewed negatively, or it can empower us.
冒險始終還是有風險。我們,也有可能失敗,還有可能是失敗很多很多次。但這會讓我們更加興奮。不確定因素看起來有不利,但同時也能激勵我們。
Failing is what makes us grow, it makes us stronger and more resilient to the aspects of life we have no control over. The fear of failure, although, is what makes us stagnant and sad. So even though I couldn't see the future as clearly as before, I took the plunge in hopes that in the depths of fear and failure, I would come out feeling more alive than ever before.
失敗能讓我們成長,讓我們更強大,讓我們更能適應生活中難以控制的各個方面。對於失敗的恐懼,讓我們停滯不前,悲傷不已。盡管不能清晰地看見未來,在恐懼和失敗的深淵里,我們也要保持希望,那麼我們將活得更有生命力。
If you feel lost, just take a deep breath and realize that being lost can be turning point of finding out who you truly are, and what you truly want to do.
如果你迷失了自我,請深呼吸,迷失或許能成為你人生的轉折點,讓你發現真正的自己,並讓你知道自己想真正成為怎樣的人。

大學生英文演講稿:從跌倒的地方站起來
Let』s stand up from where we fall down
All the celebrations welcoming the new century were hold in the
year 2000, because life without a GREeting is like the sky without
the sun.Greetings are very important for the whole world,in my
opinion.
But I dont know whether GREetings are enough for us.Especially
when we meet with failures .I remember quite clearly that when I was
a child,if I fall down and was on the brink of crying,my father
always told me"Please stand up from where you fall down!"
Yes,we must stand up from where we fall down.
That was a special mid night in 1993.Expectations filled our
hearts.
We stared at the TV,hoping excitedly as the voice would fly to our
ears.
But at last,each Chinese who loves our motherland was distressed
to know the result:Beijing ,lost to Sydeny by a margin of two votes
in the Olympic hosting competition.
Eight years have past,but the frustration has not healed with time
at all.
Now,at the begining of the new millennium,all of the pride and
disappointment of the 20th century had gone with the wind. The 21st
century,which is full of hope,longing znd thought has come. Someone
said,we would start from zero on.
Should I really start from zero on?
No!I hold that we should go on with our efferts and ambitions
stayed by last century,and make our life better.
"New Beijing,GREat Olympics!" the voice cries this out around
Chinas captital,a 3,000 -year-old city these days.
Beijing,along with Paris,Istanbul,Osake and Toronto,has been
shortlisted by the International Olympic Committee as an official
candidate city for the 2008 Olympic Games.
This is Beijings second attempt to host the games.
Everyone fully supports Beijings bid for it.
Maybe,we can paint fences along the main roads of Beijing.
Maybe,we can make much of yhe city cleaned up.
Maybe,we can learn and speak basic English idioms and expressions
for daily communication.
But,but are they just enough?
Facing the new century,mankind is driven by the revolution of
science and technoiogy,world economy is undergoing broud and
profound changes. But nobody can deny the fact that compared with
developed nations,developing countries are confronted with more
pressure and challenges.In order to become famous in the world,we
must speed up our international economic restructuring to catch up
with instrialized nations.
Supporting Beijings bid is a systematic project that can support
Chinasdevelopment efforts.
I believe recycled paper,clean fuel,sorted rubbish,water-saving
and enery-efficient facilities will become reality in the coming
years for China.
I believe the new century is an era of learning ans teaching,and
lifelong ecation has become one of the main trends in the future
developmet of Chinese society.
I believe that,on July 13,our dream of Beijings Olympic bid will
become true.
Because to millions of Chinese,for China to have the gloal respect
and support that she deserves is not just a dream.
It is a part of our very souls.For we are not only equal members
of our motherland, China,but we are also equal contributors to the
world as a whole. Let us stand together,all nations in Beijing,in
brotherhood,friendship and peace, in 2008 and forever!
㈨ 震撼世界的演講《夢想》英語演講稿
I don』t know what that dream is that you have, I don』t care how disappointing it might have been as you』ve been working toward that dream, but that dream that you』re holding in your mind, that it』s possible!
Some of you already know, that it』s hard, it』s not easy, it』s hard changing your life. That in the process of working on your dreams you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. There are moments that you are going to doubt yourself. You said, God why is this happening to me? I』m just trying to take care of my family, trying to give them a good life, I』m not trying to steal or rob from anybody. Why does this have to happen to me. For those of you that have experienced some hardships – don』t give up on your dream.
The rough times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass. Greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive, God like feature that only the special among can achieve. It』s something that truly exists, in all of us. It』s very important for you to believe that you are the one!
Most people they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die. They stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, the stop pushing themselves. Then a lot of people like to complain but they don』t wanna do anything about their situation. And most people don』t work on their dreams – why?
1. Is because of fear, fear of failure 「what if things don』t work out「?
2. Is fair of success 「what if they do and I can』t handle it?」
These are not risk takers
You have spent so much time with other people, you have spent so much time trying to get people to like you, you know other people more than you know yourself. You』ve studied them, you know about them, you want to hang out with them, you want to be just like them. You』ve invested so much time on them, you don』t know who you are. I challenge you to spend time by yourself.
It』s necessary, that you get the losers out of your life, if you want to live your dream. But people who are running towards their dreams, life has a special kind of meaning. When you become the 『right-person』, what you do is you start separating yourself from other people you begin to have a certain uniqueness, as long as you follow other people, as long as you are being a 『-cat』, you will never ever be the best -cat in the world but you will be the best you can be!
I challenge you to define your value.
Everybody won』t see it, everybody won』t join you, everybody won』t have the vision…it』s necessary to know that you are an uncommon breed. It』s necessary that you align yourself with people and attract people into your business, who are hungry, people who are unstoppable and unreasonable, people who are refusing to live life just as it is and who want more!
The people that are living their dreams are parting with winners, to attach themselves to the and the people who are living their dreams are the people that know that if it』s going to happen it』s up to them!
If you want to be more successful, if you want to have and do stuff you never done before then I』m asking you to invest in you!
Someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality.
You don』t have to go through life being a victim. And even though you face disappointments, you have to know within yourself that 『I can do this, even if no one else sees it for me, I must see it for myself!』
No matter how bad it is, how hard it gets, say to yourself, I』m going to make it!
I wanna represent an idea. I wanna represent possibilities. Some of you right now, you wanna go to the next level. You wanna be a civil engineer, you wanna council, you wanna be a doctor.
Listen to me: You can』t get to that level. You can』t get to that level until you start to invest in your mind
I dare you to invest in your mind.
I dare you to invest time.
I dare you to be alone.
I dare you to spend an HOUR alone to get to know yourself.
I challenge you to get to a place where people do not like or do not even bother you anymore. Why? Because you』re not concerned with making them happy anyway. Because you』re trying to blow up. You』re trying to get to the next level. Because you』re investing in your mind.
If you』re still talking about your dream and your goals but you have not done anything just TAKE THE FIRST STEP.
You can make your parents proud, you can make your school proud you can touch millions of peoples lives and the world will never be the same again because you came this way. Don』t let anybody steal your dream!
After we face a rejection and a 「no」 or we have a meeting and no one shows up, or somebody says 「you can count on me」 and they don』t come through, what if we have that kind of attitude that cause reposes, nobody believes in you, you』ve lost again, and again, the lights are cut off but you are still looking at your dream, reviewing it everyday and saying to yourself: IT』S NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN!
You can live your dream!
是這個嗎?

葛底斯堡演說
發表於1863年11月19日
87年前,我們的先輩們在這個大陸上創立了一個新國家,它孕育於自由之中,奉行一切人生來平等的原則。
現在我們正在進行一場偉大的內戰,以考驗這個國家,或者任何一個孕育於自由和奉行上述原則的國家是否能夠長久存在下去。我們在這場戰爭中的一個偉大戰場上集會。烈士們為使這個國家能夠生存下去而獻出了自己的生命,我們來到這里,是要把這個戰場的一部分奉獻給他們作為最後安息之所。我們這樣做是完全應該而且是非常恰當的。 但是,從更廣泛的意義上來說,對這塊土地,我們不能夠奉獻,不能夠聖化,不能夠神化。那些曾在這里戰斗過的勇士們,活著的和去世的,已經把這塊土地聖化了,這遠不是我們微薄的力量所能增減的。
我們今天在這里所說的話,全世界不大會注意,也不會長久地記住,但勇士們在這里所做過的事,全世界卻永遠不會忘記。毋寧說,倒是我們這些還活著的人,應該在這里把自己奉獻於勇士們曾在這為之奮斗、努力推進、但尚未完成的事業,倒是我們應該在這里把自己奉獻於仍然留在我們面前的偉大任務--我們要從這些光榮的死者身上汲取更多的獻身精神,來完成他們已經完全徹底為之獻身的事業;我們要在這里下定最大的決心,不讓這些烈士的鮮血自流;我們要使國家在上帝福佑下得到自由的新生;要使這個民有、民治、民享的政府永世長存。
