英語演講稿:如何減肥
how to lose weight
it seems that many people today are overweight. no one wants to carry around e_tra pounds, lout few people know how to slum down effectively. they look for miracle pills and magic cures. in the end, they fail and the pounds come back. but the most effective way of losing weight is actually very si-mp-le. it is a combination of a good diet and proper e_ercise. what makes it work is determination. it requires discipline and commitment to succeed. here is an e_ample that proves the truth of these words.

哈佛校長的演講]good bye and good luck
today, i speak from this podium a final time as your president. as i depart, i want to thank all of you - students, faculty, alumni and staff - with whom i have been privileged to work over these past years. some of us have had our disagreements, but i know that which unites us transcends that which divides us.
今天,我將以校長的身份,最后一次在這個講臺上演講.即將離任前,我要感謝諸位學(xué)生、教師、校友和員工,而且非常榮幸在過去的5年里能與你們共事.我們中的一些人意見不盡相同, 但是,我知道,我們的共識遠遠超越分歧.
some things look different to me than they did five years ago. the world that today’s harvard’s graduates are entering is a profoundly different one than the world administrators entered.
在我看來,現(xiàn)在于5年前不同了.今天的哈佛畢業(yè)生正在進入的世界和管理人員當年所進入的世界相比已是大相徑庭了.
it is a world where opportunities have never been greater for those who know how to teach children to read, or those who know how to distribute financial risk; never greater for those who understand the cell and the pi_el; never greater for those who can master, and navigate between, legal codes, faith traditions, computer platforms, political viewpoints.
現(xiàn)今世界,機遇對于這些人來說是空前的：他們知道如何教子女閱讀;他們知道如何組合投資;他們懂得計算機科學(xué) 基本存儲單元和像素概念;他們能掌握各種法典、傳統(tǒng)信仰、計算機平臺、政治觀點并在其中游刃有余.
it is also a world where some are left further and further behind - those who are not educated, those trapped in poverty and violence, those for whom equal opportunity is just a hollow phrase.
同時,現(xiàn)今世界,一些人越來越落后于時代.這些人沒受過教育、深陷于貧窮和暴-力、平等機遇對他們而言,僅是一句空話.
scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life.
科技進步正在使我們能夠探索宇宙的邊陲、物質(zhì)最基本的成分及生命的奇跡.
at the same time, today, the actions, and inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet.
與此同時,今天,人類所做的及沒能做到的事情,不僅危害到這個星球上的生命,也危害到該星球的壽命.
globalization is ma-ki-ng the world smaller, faster and richer. still, 9/11, avian flu, and iran remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world.
全球化正在使地球變得愈來愈孝愈來愈快和愈來愈富有.盡管如此,9/11、禽流感及伊朗提醒我們,更小更快的世界決不意味著其更安全.
our world is bursting with knowledge - but desperately in need of wisdom. now, 英語故事演講稿 when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd out essays, and when individual lives grow more frenzied, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs.
我們正處于一個知識爆炸的世界之中,不過,迫切需要智慧.現(xiàn)在,在(新聞采訪的)原聲摘要播出變得愈來愈短,即時信息淘汰了雜記文,個人生活變得如癡如狂之際,這個世界還是需要能夠深思的大學(xué)生.
for all these reasons i believed - and i believe even more strongly today - in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities.
考慮到這些理由,我過去信仰,而今天甚至更加強烈地信仰大學(xué)獨特的、無可取代的使命.
universities are where the wisdom we cannot afford to lose is preserved from generation to generation. among all human institutions, universities can look beyond present norms to future possibilities, can look through current considerations to emergent opportunities.
大學(xué)是人類把不可或缺的智慧世代流傳的殿堂.就人類所有公共機構(gòu)而言,僅僅大學(xué),能夠超越當前的準則,注意到未來的可能性;能通過目前的判斷,注意到突發(fā)的機遇.
and among universities, harvard stands out. with its great tradition, its iconic reputation, its remarkable network of 300,000 alumni, harvard has never had as much potential as it does now.
哈佛在大學(xué)中間,鶴立雞群.憑其偉大的傳統(tǒng)、因襲聲譽及其非凡的300000校友網(wǎng),哈佛的潛力前所未有.
and yet, great and proud institutions, like great and proud nations at their peak, must surmount a very real risk: that the very strength of their traditions will lead to caution, to an inward focus on prerogative and to a complacency that lets the world pathem by.
可是,就像偉大和自豪的國家在其鼎盛時期一樣,它們必須克服一個完全不能掉以輕心的危險因素：它們傳統(tǒng)的絕對強勢將會導(dǎo)致謹小慎微、追求內(nèi)部特權(quán)及自滿,這將使它們不能與時俱進.
and so i say to you that our university today is at an inflection point in its history. at such a moment, there is temptation to elevate comfort and consensus over progreand clear direction, but this would be a mistake. the university’s matchleresources - human, physical, financial - demand that we seize this moment with vision and boldness. to do otherwise would be a lost opportunity. we can spur great deeds that history will mark decades and even centuries from now. if harvard can find the courage to change itself, it can change the world.
今天,哈佛正處于其歷史的轉(zhuǎn)折點.此時此刻的自然傾向是,把貪圖舒適和隨波逐流留凌駕于進步和方向性之上,但,這可能是錯誤的.大學(xué)無與倫比的資源?—人、財、物—要求我們遠見卓識和勇敢地抓住這個時機,否則,將會坐失良機.我們能推動將會被歷史永世銘記的偉大的事業(yè).如果哈佛能找到勇氣來改變自己,它就能改變世界.

兒童英文故事演講稿1
it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the negro. this sweltering summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. nineteen si_ty-three is not an end, but a beginning.
those who hope that the negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. there will be neither rest nor tranquility in america until the negro is granted his citizenship rights. the whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
but there is something that i must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. in the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
we must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is ine_tricably bound to our freedom.
we cannot walk alone.and as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. we cannot turn back. there are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, 'when will you be satisfied?' we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. we can never be satisfied as long as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes he has nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
兒童英文故事演講稿2
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
but one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the negro is still not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languishing in the corners of american society and finds himself an e_ile in his own land. so we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
in a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds.' but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
so we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the lu_ury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of god's children. now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
