why you will fail [fel] to have a great career [k?r??(r)]你为什么不会成就伟业 中英对照演讲稿:
i want to discuss with you this morning why youre going to fail to have a great career. (laughter)
今天上午我想和你们讨论一下, 你为什么不会成就伟业。(笑声)
i know some of you have already decided you want a good career. youre going to fail(laughter). those trying to have good careers are going to fail, because, really, good jobs are now disappearing. there are great jobs and great careers, and then there are the high-workload, high-stress, bloodsucking[bl?ds?k??], soul-destroying
[d??str??] kinds of jobs, and almost nothing in between.
我知道你们有些人已经决定了, 你们想要一个成功的事业。 你们也会失败的-(笑声)-。(笑声)想事业有成的人会失败, 因为,真的,现在好工作都在消失。 有好工作,和好事业, 也有工作量大,压力大, 吸食血液,侵蚀灵魂的那种工作, 而且几乎没有工作能好点的。so the people looking for good jobs are going to fail. im going to talk about those looking for great jobs, great careers, and why youre going to, why youre going to fail. first reason is that no matter how many times people tell you, if you want a great career, you have to pursue [p?sju:] your passion [?p???n], you have to pursue your dreams, you have to pursue, the greatest fascination [?f?s??ne??n] in your life, you hear it again and again and then you decide not to do it.
所以想找好工作的人会失败。 我谈谈那些寻找伟业的人, 你们为什么要寻找,为什么会失败。 第一个原因是不管多少次别人告诉你, “如果你想成就伟业,你就必须追随你的热忱, 你必须追随你的梦想,你必须追随, 你人生中最大的吸引,“ 你听过这句话一遍又一遍,然后你决定, 不去这样做。 im not quite sure why you decide not to do it. youre too lazy to do it. its too hard. youre afraid if you look for your passion and dont find it, youll feel like youre an idiot [??di?t], so then you make excuses [?k?skjuz] about why youre not going to look for your passion. and they are excuses, boys and girls. were going to go through a whole long list, your creativity, and thinking of excuses not to do what you really need to do if you want to have a great career.
我不太确定你为什么决定不去做。 你太懒了。这事太难。 你害怕如果你去寻找梦想然后找不到, 你会觉得你像个白痴,所以你给自己找借口, 为什么你不去追寻你的梦想。 这些都是借口,女士们先生们。 我们要列一个长单子,你的创造力, 想想你不去做成就伟业该做的事情的借口。
so, for example, one of your great excuses is, well, great careers are really and truly, for most people, just a matter of luck, so im going to stand around, im going to try to be lucky, and if im lucky, ill have a great career. if not, ill have a good career. but a goodcareer is an impossibility, so thats not going to work.
所以,举例来说,你众多借口之一是, “嗯,伟业实际上对于大多数人来说, 只是运气问题,所以我就在这待着, 我就试试做那个幸运的人,然后如果我真幸运的话, 我就能成就伟业。如果不能,我就找个还不错的事业。”, 但是没有还不错的事业,所以这个行不通。 then, your other excuse is, yes, there are special people who pursue their passions, but they are talent. im not a talent. when i was five, i thought i was a talent, but my
然后,你还有其他借口:“是的,有那些与众不同的人, 追寻自己的梦想,但是他们是天才。我不是天才。 我五岁的时候以为自己是天才, 但是我的教授们早就把这个念头, 打消了。
或者“ 现在你看,如果这是在1950年, 完全有能力, 就能让你成就伟业。 但是你知道么?现在几乎是2013年了。
i have an interest! i have an interest! you tell me. i say, thats wonderful! and what, what are you trying to tell me? it is not passion. passion is your greatest love. passion is the thing that will help you create the highest expression of your talent. passion, interest -- its not the same thing. are you really going to go to your partner and say, marry me! youre interesting. and if that, you will die alone. (laughter) 我有个兴趣!我有个兴趣!你告诉我。 “我说,”太好了!“ 你想告诉我什么呢?那不是热枕。热忱是你最高程度的热爱。 热忱是能帮助你最好地成就自己才华, 的事情。 热忱,兴趣-不是一回事。 你真的会去找你的甜心然后说, “嫁给我吧!你很有意思。“(笑声)不会发生的。不会发生,然后你会孤独终老。(笑声) what you want is passion. it is beyond interest. you need 20 interests, and then one of them, one of them might be passion. 你想要的是热忱。它超越兴趣。 你需要20个兴趣,然后它们其中一个是你的热忱。 but then, there are some of you, in spite of all these excuses, you will find, you will find your passion, and youll still fail.
但是,你们当中有些人, 抛开这些借口,你们会找到, 你们会找到自己的热忱, 然后你们还是失败了。
你知道有一天会发生什么? 你的孩子有一天会跟你说, “我知道我想做什么。 我知道我想怎么度过一生。”, 你特别高兴。这种对话父母最爱听了, 而且你知道你会爱听你孩子接下来的话。 你孩子说,“我决定了, 我想做个魔术师。 我想在舞台上表演魔术。”, (笑声) and what do you say? umm ... thats risky, kid. might fail. cant make a lot of money at that. you know , you should think about that again , why not —
然后你说什么? 你说,你说, “嗯...那样比较不保险,孩子。 有可能会失败,孩子。挣不了大钱,孩子。 你知道的,我不知道,孩子, 你应该再想想,孩子,为什么不-“ and the kid interrupts you, and says, but it is my dream. it is my dream to do this. and what are you going to say? like this look kid. i had a dream once, too, but -- but. so how are you going to finish the sentence with your but? ... but i was afraid to pursue it. or, are you going to tell him this? i had a dream once, kid. but then you were born. (laughter)
然后你孩子打断你,说, ”但是那是我的梦想。我梦想就是成为魔术师。“ 然后你要说什么? 像这样”你看,孩子,我过去也有过梦想。但是-但是。“ 所以你想怎么用”但是“结束你的句子? ”...但是我没敢去追随。“ 还是,你想告诉他这个? ”我过去有梦想,孩子。 但是之后你出生了。“(笑声)
do you, do you really want to use your family, do you really ever want to look at your spouse and your kid and see your jailers there was something you could
have said to your kid when he or she said, i have a dream. you could have said, looked the kid in the face, and said, go for it, kid, just like i did. but you wont be able to say that because you didnt. so you cant. (laughter)
你真的,真的想利用你的家庭, 你真的想把你的伴侣, 和你的孩子当成狱卒吗? 你其实可以这么跟你孩子讲。 当他/她说“我有个梦想”的时候, 你可以说,面对你的孩子,说,“去追随它吧,孩子, 就像我那样。 但是你没法那么说, 因为你没去追随梦想。所以你不能那么说。(笑声)
youre afraid to pursue your passion. youre afraid to look ridiculous [r??d?kj?l?s].
youre afraid to try. youre afraid you may fail. great friend, great spouse, great parent, great career. is that not a package? how can you be one without the other? but youre afraid. 你不敢去追求梦想。 你害怕自己看起来像个疯子。 你不敢去尝试。你害怕失败。 好朋友,好伴侣,好父母,伟业。 不是打包在一起的吗?你怎么能符合其中一个却不符合另一个? 但是你害怕。 and thats why youre not going to have a great career, unless -- unless, that most evocative [??vɑk?t?v] of all english words -- unless. but the unless word is also attached
It to that other, most terrifying phrase [freez], if only i had ... if only i had ... if you ever have that thought over and over again in your brain, it will hurt a lot. 这就是为什么你不会成就伟业,除非-, 除非,最引人回忆的词-, 除非。 但是除非这个词和另外一个, 最可怕的短语是连着的, ”如果我当初...“ ”如果我当初...“ 如果你曾经有过这个想法在你脑海里回旋, 它会特别伤人。
so, those are the many reasons why you are going to fail to have a great career, unless ...
所以,这些就是, 你为什么不能成就伟业, 的众多原因。 除非...,
unless.
除非。
thank you. (applause)
谢谢。(掌声)

关于睡眠的英语演讲
1.You won’t be surprised to find many students sleep in class today, especially in the math class. When the class is over, we can see many people wake up all together.
Many of them say that they actually don’t want to dream in class at all as it’s such a shameful thing to dribble when the teacher is solving an equation.
In fact, students always fall asleep unconsciously.
Some of the students maybe go to bed late, but i think they could still stay active if the teacher chooses to interact rather than keep cramming only. Now the schedule in our university is so tough that there’s always too much to learn in a single class. There’s always too much to learn in a single class. There’s no time to take a deep thinking, no chance to municate, no need to take a deep thinking, no chance to municate, no need to take notes since there’s sides to download. Then what to do in a 2-hour-class?Listen to the teacher without thinking, students will soon begin daydreaming.
2. My big idea is a very, very small idea that can unlock billions of big ideas that are at the moment dormant inside us. And my little idea that will do that is sleep.
This is a room of type-A women. This is a room of sleep-deprived women. And I learned the hard way, the value of sleep. Two-and-a-half years ago, I fainted from exhaustion. I hit my head on my desk. I broke my cheekbone, I got five stitches on my right eye. And I began the journey of rediscovering the value of sleep. And in the course of that, I studied, I met with medical doctors, scientists, and I'm here to tell you that the way to a more productive, more inspired, more joyful life is getting enough sleep.
And we women are going to lead the way in this new revolution, this new feminist issue. We are literally going to sleep our way to the top, literally.
Because unfortunately for men, sleep deprivation has become a virility symbol. I was recently having dinner with a guy who bragged that he had only gotten four hours sleep the night before. And I felt like saying to him -- but I didn't say it -- I felt like saying, "You know what? If you had gotten five, this dinner would have been a lot more interesting."
There is now a kind of sleep deprivation one-upmanship. Especially here in Washington, if you try to make a breakfast date, and you say, "How about eight o'clock?" they're likely to tell you, "Eight o'clock is too late for me, but that's okay, I can get a game of tennis in and do a few conference calls and meet you at eight." And they think that means that they are so incredibly busy and productive, but the truth is they're not, because we, at the moment, have had brilliant leaders in business, in finance, in politics, making terrible decisions. So a high I.Q. does not mean that you're a good leader, because the essence of leadership is being able to see the iceberg before it hits the Titanic. And we've had far too many icebergs hitting our Titanics.
In fact, I have a feeling that if Lehman Brothers was Lehman Brothers and Sisters, they might still be around. (Applause) While all the brothers were busy just being hyper-connected 24/7, maybe a sister would have noticed the iceberg, because she would have woken up from a seven-and-a-half- or eight-hour sleep and have been able to see the big picture.
So as we are facing all the multiple crises in our world at the moment, what is good for us on a personal level, what's going to bring more joy, gratitude, effectiveness in our lives and be the best for our own careers is also what is best for the world. So I urge you to shut your eyes and discover the great ideas that lie inside us, to shut your engines and discover the power of sleep.
Thank you.

女士们,先生们,下午好!首先我想说的是,我很自豪能被邀请到这里来介绍我的主题,那就是"互联网文明"。在我开始我的话题之前,请允许我问你一个问题,每次你点击鼠标上网,你知道这意味着什么吗?在网上,你可以在国外交朋友,用互联网协议(Internet Protocol的缩写)电话给他们打电话;你可以从世界各地获得信息;你甚至可以帮助一些处于困境中的人,并在需要的时候得到帮助。然而,我们不得不承认,互联网也导致了相识前的亲密关系;它向外散播秘密,而不是向内;最令人担忧的是,它是骗子的工具。在这里,我们应该看到,网络上存在善与恶,对与错。
作为网民,我们最好逐渐意识到网络文明的重要性。正如那句名言"通往美德的道路漫长而陡峭"许多人主张我们在我们的社会——现实世界中——应该真诚、诚实和负责任。
现在,我想补充的是,在这个虚拟世界中,我们也应该遵守基本的道德原则。我所有亲爱的朋友们,在互联网上,你们扮演了什么角色?你扮演哪个角色?你将扮演什么角色?
非常感谢!

关于爱的英语演讲稿
only mother love is true love .it's gives everybody everything in all his life ,when you are still a baby ,mother takes good care of you as much as possible. in your waking hour she always holds you in her arms. when you are ill, she stop her work right now to look after you day and night and forgets about herself. when you are growing up day by day, she feels very happy. when you are old enough to go to school, mother still looks after you all the time. on cold winter days, she always tells you to put on more clothes. she always stands in the window waiting for you back from school. when you are hurry t
o leave home for school for breakfast ,she feels worried about you at home.she usually knows about your study and spends much money on your school things . when you do well at school . you will see the brightset smile on her face. mother is ailways ready to give
everything she has to her children ,not to receive. what true love that is in the world !we will remember mother love forever friendship every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my
friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life. as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and si-mp-le. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the claactive and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. i could still remember very
clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and
unforgettable. justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this
valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory. friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. it is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it is also like a cup of tea. when we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink. however, in this fast-developing mo.

看完视频后,我觉得我们现在过得太安逸,太幸福了,没有一丝丝的危机感,对自己的要求不高,成长的速度的太慢了,相比别人吃的苦,我们吃的哪里是苦呢?该认真地反省自己了。
来了公司3年多的时间,我一直问自己,自己给公司带来什么样的价值,自己价值是否得以实现,我们总是希望从公司获得更多,但是总是不懂得感恩,不懂得回馈,这样公司能够良性循环吗?从你选择这一家公司的时候,你就必须要清楚,不要总是想着逃避问题,想着怎么共进退,只有公司越来越好,自己才会更好;如果公司一直在倒退,谈何发展。
一个人的成功从来不是成功,何况什么是一个人成功,公司是你一个的吗?一个公司能够快速稳定地发展,还不是需要靠一个团队的共同努力。虽然你是其中的一员,当你觉得你自己可有可无的时候,凭什么你还有资格在这个公司待下去?
最近我总在思考一个问题,在你还是学习的过程中,你要思考你怎么才能够做一名优秀的员工,你连这一点都做不好,还指望你能够做多大的价值呢?
你的岗位是什么,你主要负责的是什么?你都做好了吗?你都做到位了吗?你都努力做到更好,你在全力以赴,用心地做好自己的工作了吗?你的工作是否有突破,还是内依旧一成不变,你总是找各种的借口给自己失败。
你总是希望你能够快速地成长,又能够赚到钱,又能够学习到自己想要学习的知识,凭什么你能够要求那么多,凭什么你能够理所当然地得到一切。你别人都努力吗?你创造的价值能够改变你自己,改变你的团队,改变你的企业吗?如果都不行,你能够成长吗?成长是一个缓慢的过程,当你意识到自己还有很大的进步空间的时候,你就应该朝着那个方向努力改变,不要质疑方向,你要知道的时候如何找到更好的方法去获得你想要的东西。
当出现问题的时候,你总是抱怨,你总是一味地逃避问题,你从来都不是那个尽心尽责去付出努力的那个人,你能够成功吗?你看见别人这样做了吗?
你知道为什么在一个岗位上一直没有任何的发展和突破吗?就是你想的太多,但是从来没有真正地落地,你总是希望收获,但是播种的季节里面你都在做什么?你都用心地播种,栽培自己了吗?
阶段性的总结,是慢慢地积累,不断地成长的过程,希望你能够培养自己良好的总结习惯,给自己一个理由,改变一成不变的自己,改变那个不思进取的自己,改变那个只想收获从不付出的自己,你希望得到别人认可的前提是,你觉得自己认可自己了吗?你真的觉得你现在做的一切就足够了吗?你就是如此满足?
孩子,该成长了,如果一味地盲目生活,盲目地工作,度日如年,你的日子还能够继续下去吗?

英语演讲
It’s my great honor to stand here and share my presentation about ‘Advantages and disadvantages of rapid development of science and technology’.
When I had the first glance at this topic, I suddenly came to think of the composition in the College English Test Band 4 which I take in last term. In that part of test, we are asked to write a short essay according to a given picture. In the picture, a pair of parents are facing with a computer on the first floor in an apartment. On the screen is a sentence of irony, ‘Dear son, How is your life going on the second floorWe miss you so much. ’Obviously, the picture reflects the common problem in our daily life. Technology has made us and close relatives and friends more distant.
We can’t deny that the great benefits brought about by the progress on science and technology is hided in every corner of the world. Modern communication tools such as mobiles and QQ make it possible to send message in a handy way. The Internet enables a pupil to accomplish a university graduation thesis. Powerful networking information storage makes incalculable social activity in an orderly way. Sophisticated scientific techniques even help human to explore other planets. Anyway,
the finding of the second earth may give human a new
accomadation after the earth is destroyed. That sounds not bad.As we can see, the rapid development of science and technology has brought great changes to our life. However, some of the influence it takes is not so optimistic. Just like the example I reffered at the beginning. Communicating through social networking website is becoming a threaten to people’s real life. Against to it’s original willing, we gradually fade out in the crowd. Despite this, children lack essential
interpersonal skills. Those who indulge in I pad or I phone often isolated and being cut off from the outside world. They tend to be more introverted, self-centered and withdrawn. From another point of view, the technique makes using tools on a large scale become a consequent tendency. You must hear of the industrial revolution which caused two job cuts over the whole world. Nowadays, the bad influence may even worse. The mature assembly line work is controlled by automatic machine.
Thereupon, a large amount of workers get unemployed. It is not benefit to stabilize society. Some of scientific inventions have also done great harms or disasters to mankind. And advanced technology can be easily manipulated by irresponsible persons or countriees.
It is just easy to think of something, but difficult to give down-to-earth execution. We should avoid the negative effects while enjoying the great convenience. I believe that, once we try, we are bond to keep the balance of advantages and disadvantages.
篇三:关于科技的英语演讲稿—Technology and Future
the presence of students, ladies and teachers, everyone! i was prepared intervals of cloud today, in honor here entitled "technology and future" speech, i am very proud of both, but some unease. in recent years, we have seen our great motherland, the cause of the rapid development of technology, which allow me to a chinese i feel very proud. remember that long ago, cell phone use almost the only one, which is called, but a few years ago, cell phones has undergone great changes, not only look more beautiful, but also use more, you can use the phones to take pictures, meetings, internet, text
messages, etc. a series of things that i their life more convenient, so i am more aware of the strength of the technology, but i am just a fledglings students, "technology" as the word also aware of the limited, i am unable to use some very difficult theory to elaborate technology xuanji, no right to work on their elders i can promise of the technology blueprint. but i am willing to use a student’s perspective to the imagine technology and the future.
from genetic engineering "is a live princes" dream, nano-
technology "- not washing your clothing," promises; from artificial intelligence "will give you a cute robot dog" warm, transgenic
technology "let people grow mouse ears" wonders. the new technology in the birth of a new technology that will let people wild with joy, because these new technologies is gradually improving our lives, let us learn more about ourselves. in the near term, china completed its first sars virus genome sequencing, sars is now the world’s largest recognized the dangers of the disease, but why not other countries completed first, and we just completed the countriesvery simple, this illustrates that our country backward than others, worse than others, we look at the past, had just started a country’s reform and
opening up to the current level of science and technology has lead a large country, our motherland experienced a number of ups and downs, how many difficulties and bumpy however, we still back all of the motherland, the motherland because we firmly believe that - not only technological change destiny, can change the future.
for our generation, the general feeling of the community is a strong sense of competition, learning a foot down. science knowledge is the focus of our attention, albert einstein, and stephen hawking, bill gates is the star we have in mind, computer science, physics and chemistry of modern dynamic is constantly affect us. we have to understand the importance of technology, know that the technology universal.
although technology to create a new life prospects soliciting thoughts, inspiring. however, the final analysis is that we rely on our common efforts to realize. , as the future construction of the backbone of our generation of young people shoulders the burden is not light, new opportunities are always accompanied risks and
challenges, but we will not give up that easily, we use our youth to predecessors vowed: never live up to their predecessors of our hope. looking back at the history of civilization, anderson is the history of mankind against the darkness of ignorance, is the
scientific lit a fire in the raging human soul of hope; technology support civilization, science and technology to create the future, but the future is in our hands. let us become knowledge explorers, let us unknown roaming on the road, let me use our creativity to the world we live a better place.

Types of Speech
Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered appropriate for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as good, formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing.
Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events. It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups and the majority population.
Finally, it is worth noting that the terms "standard" "colloquial" and "slang" exist only as abstract labels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions.
Did you deal with fortune fairly
Most people complain of fortune, few of nature; and the kinder they think the latter has been to them, the more they murmur at what they call the injustice of the former.
Why have not I the riches, the rank, the power, of such and such, is the common expostulation with fortune; but why have not I the merit, the talents, the wit, or the beauty, of such and such others, is a reproach rarely or never made to nature.
The truth is, that nature, seldom profuse, and seldom niggardly, has distributed her gifts more equally than she is generally supposed to have done. Education and situation make the great difference. Culture improves, and occasions elicit, natural talents I make no doubt but that there are potentially, if I may use that pedantic word, many Bacons, Lockes, Newtons, Caesars, Cromwells, and Mariboroughs at the ploughtail behind counters, and, perhaps, even among the nobility; but the soil must be cultivated, and the season favourable, for the fruit to have all its spirit and flavour.
If sometimes our common parent has been a little partial, and not kept the scales quite even; if one preponderates too much, we throw into the lighter a due counterpoise of vanity, which never fails to set all right. Hence it happens, that hardly any one man would, without reverse, and in every particular, change with any other.
Though all are thus satisfied with the dispensations of nature, how few listen to her voice! How to follow her as a guide! In vain she points out to us the plain and direct way to truth, vanity, fancy, affection, and fashion assume her shape and wind us through fairy-ground to folly and error.
很多人抱怨命运,却很少有人抱怨自然;人们越是认为自然对他们仁爱有加,便越是嘀咕命运对他们的所谓不公。
人们常常对命运发出诘难:我为何没有财富、地位、权力以及诸如此类的东西;但人们却很少或从不这样责怪过自然:我为何没有长处、天赋、机智或美丽以及诸如此类的东西。
事实是,自然总是将天赋公平地分配给人们,比人们通常认为的还要不偏不倚,很少过分地慷慨!也很少吝啬。人与人之间的巨大差异是由于教育和环境使然。文化修养改良了天赋,机遇环境诱发了天赋。我们并不怀疑在农田耕作,在柜台后营业,甚至在豪门贵族中间有很多潜在的培根们、洛克们、牛顿们、凯撒们、克伦威尔们和马尔伯勒们,如果允许我用“潜在的”这个学究味浓重的词的话;但是要使果实具有它全部的品质和风味,还必须有耕耘过的泥土,必须有适宜的季节。
倘若大自然有时候有那么一点偏心,没有将天平摆正;倘若有一头过重,我们就会在轻的一头投上一枚大小适当的虚荣的砝码,它每次都会将天平重新调平,从不出差错。因此就出现了这种情况:几乎没有人会毫无保留地和另一个人里里外外全部对换一下。
虽然对于自然的分配,人人都感到满意;然而肯听听她的忠告的人却是如此之少!能将她当作向导而跟随其后的人又是如此之少!她徒然地为我们指出一条通向真理的笔直的坦途;而虚荣、幻想、矫情、时髦却俨然以她的面貌出现,暗中将我们引向虚幻的歧途,走向愚笨和谬误。

Imagine that you spent your whole life at a single house.Each day at the same hour you entered an artificially-lit room,undressed and took up the same position in front of a motion picture camera.It photographed one frame of you per day,every day of your life. On your seventy-second birthday,the reel of film was shown.You saw yourself growing and aging over seventy-two years in less than half an hour(27.4minites at sixteen frames per second). Images of this sort ,though terrifying, are helpful in suggesting unfamiliar but useful perspectives of time. They may ,for example ,symbolize the telescoped ,almost momentary charater of the past as seen through the eyes of an anxious or disa-ffected individual. Or they may suggest the remarkable brevity of our lifes in the cosmic scale of time. If the estimated age of the cosmos were shorted to seventy-two years, a human life would take about ten seconds.
But look at time the other way. Each day is a minor eternity of over 86000 seconds. During each second, the number of distinct molecular functions going on with the human body is comparable to the mumber of seconds in the estimated age of the cosmos, A few seconds are long enough for a revolutionary idea, a startling communication, a baby's conception, a wounding insult, a sudden death. Depending on how we think of them, our lives can be
infinitely long or infinitely short.
Love your life
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱,你要面对它生活,不要躲避它,更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候,倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活,尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里,你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上,像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前,积雪同在早春融化。我只看到,一个从容的人,在哪里也像在皇宫中一样,生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人,我看,倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大,所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的,不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的.手段来对付生活,他们是毫不超脱的,毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样,无论是新的朋友或新的衣服,来麻烦你自己。找旧的,回到那里去。万物不变,是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你的思想
Frankness
You must study to be frank with the world:frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do, on every occasion. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.
Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one. The man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with all your classmates. You will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not.
If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain. There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to do one thing before a man's face and another behind his back. We should say and do nothing to the injury of any one. It is not only a matter of principle, but also the path of peace and hornor.
By Robert E. Lee
参考译文
在世间必须学会以真诚示人:率真乃是诚实与勇敢之子。无论在何种场合,都应该道出自己的真实想法。如果朋友对你有所求,对于合情合理之请,应该欣然同意;不然,应该明明白白地告诉朋友拒绝的理由。任何模棱两可的话语将会让别人误解,也会使自己蒙受冤屈。
千万不要为了结交朋友或者挽留友情而做错一事。对你有这种要求的人也会付出沉重的代价。与同学真心相对,绝不背叛。你将发现这是最有效用的准则。总之,要以真实面目示人。
如果发现某人身有瑕疵,直接告诉他你的意见,而不是诉之他人。人前一套,背后又是一套,没有什么比这更加危机四伏。任何有损他人的言语或者事情我们都应该避免。这不仅是一种做人的原则,而且也是通向平和的人际关系、获得他人尊敬之道

“你认为什么是真正改变了我们世界的这个词呢”当我被问到这个问题的时候,没有想太多,一个字闪进我的脑海——梦,或多或少的梦想不同的东西,是一个教师,医生,科学家,商人等等。所有这些人的梦想都应该得到尊重,因为梦想让世界运转。我们的梦想是伟大的。所有伟大的人年轻时都是伟大的梦想家。
每个人都有一个梦想,一切都开始变成白日梦。路德金有一个梦想,他想给黑人和白人一个和谐生活的机会。说他,他这样的教育,他深受启发,他通知不只是那里的人们,但全美国的人和未出生的后代,他推动了美国黑人社会的步伐走向种族平等。

约翰肯尼迪有一个梦想,他想把人们送上月球,回到他想信自己可以安全返回地球,恢复美国的生活方式。约翰·肯尼迪批准了他的梦想,八年后尼尔·阿姆斯特朗踏上了月球。登上月球确实让美国人对他们的新发现充满信心。
梦---一个改变世界的话是的,我会这样说,是不是你青春是一个特殊的生命接力站,随着烦恼的成长,生活的感觉变得与梦的幸福感,在这里收集了一个独特的青春旋律。我们决定,我们选择,并且当我们决定和选择,我们的生活也在我们的生活中,最终形成我们自己的命运是什么样的野心是什么,最重要的是,你是你选择的那个人。我们的生活,我们的日子,我们的生活,很容易浪费我们的生命,很容易生存,所以坚持你的梦想,因为如果梦想死亡,生命是一只折断翅膀的鸟儿,不能飞翔。
我希望你们每个人都可以.

I have been in university for about one year. during my stay here, i came to realize that university life is like drinking coke. we experience all tastes of life here, sour, sweet, bitter and hot. i am from province, which is far away from here. i often miss my mum, friends, and relatives in my hometown. however, i can't see them very often. so loneliness always keeps me company. i am sad that i can't be there with them. lucky for me, life in university is rich and colorful. with more free time,we can do many more things besides study, such as joining societies clubs, and taking part-time jobs. such activities not only make our life more colorful, but also help us improve all kinds of skills. the university is a society miniature, what we learn here will benefit our future life. our path in life will not always be smooth. setbacks can't be avoided. failing an important exam, break up with boy or girl friend, or refused by a promising company, such setbacks are likely to get us down. sometimes we fell so frustrated that we even burst into tears. drinkin coke is wonderful, despite the undesirble consequent hiccups. it's bitter, sour and peppery, but also sweet. and you'll even feel excited after gulping down a glass. a college experience is part of growing up. we cry, smile, fall in love, get hurt, leave, learn and then we become a better person. university life is like drinking coke. i'm experiencing it. and i know, i enjoy it!
我上大学已经有一年了。在此期间,我意识到大学生活就像喝可乐一样。我们在这里体验着所有的生活品味,酸甜苦辣。我来自一个省,离这里很远。我经常想念家乡的妈妈、朋友和亲戚。然而,我不能经常见到他们。所以孤独总是陪伴着我。我很伤心,我不能和他们在一起。我很幸运,大学生活丰富多彩。有了更多的空闲时间,除了学习,我们还可以做更多的事情,比如参加社团俱乐部,做兼职。这样的活动不仅使我们的生活更加丰富多彩,也帮助我们提高了各种技能。大学是一个社会缩影,我们在这里学到的东西将会使我们的未来生活受益。我们的人生道路并不总是平坦的。挫折无法避免。如果考试不及格,和男孩或女朋友分手,或者被一家有前途的公司拒绝,这样的挫折很可能会让我们失望。有时我们感到沮丧,甚至放声大哭。喝可乐是很美妙的,尽管不受欢迎的结果会打嗝。这是苦,酸和胡椒,但也甜。你甚至会因为吞下一杯水而感到兴奋。大学经历是成长的一部分。我们哭泣,微笑,坠入爱河,受伤,离开,学习,然后我们成为一个更好的人。大学生活就像喝可乐。我正在经历它。我知道,我很喜欢!

2.a message from mother nature
good morning, judges, ladies and gentlemen! my name is kelly and i’m pleased to welcome you all to my school, anji foreign language school. my topic is: a message from mother nature.
my dear children,
all of a sudden, have you realized the danger mother nature is facing? see your animals fade away like the night at dawn. watch the leopard’s fur used for shows. see the king of the forest, the strong lion run for cover at the noise of the hunter’s gun. watch the wicked killers grow greedy and rich, they are more of enemies than friends and the animals die poor and sad. the forests are no more. the air and water are all polluted. what’s being done, nothing? now the earth is shrinking, the sea is advancing; few years ago there was tsunami and earthquakes, the world is now weeping because i,mother nature. i’m getting back at mankind.
ladies and gentlemen: l bring you this message from mother nature because i’m lucky to be living in anji, an environment that is nature friendly. look, what a nice county anji is! it is one of the most wonderful and beautiful places in china. anji is the hometown of bamboos, the hometown of white tea; there are “green bamboo seas”, hills covered with neat rows of white tea, spring water and fresh cool air. anji is a china ecological film shooting base, a national ecological demonstration zone. anji county won a living environment award, and is the garden city of zhejiang province. the list is unending.
in most cities, environmental damage is a serious problem at present, people breath polluted air, and drink polluted water as well as eat polluted food everyday. people are dying from illnesses caused by pollution, which is a challenge posed to the human race. if we want to live a better life and have a bright future, we must do our best to protect nature. we have a mission, you and l and all present here, to work harder for the things in which we believe. as in the song of michael jackson: heal the world, make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race.
are you ready to take action to heal our world, save the birds, fishes and animals in the water bodies and in the forests, stop cutting trees, stop the pollution now and use water and energy wisely. for as the saying goes, “it’s better late than never.” we can’t stand mother nature’s anger any longer.
there’s no time to think anymore, the earth is our only home, to save nature is to save ourselves. let’s protect our green hometown .let’s heal the world. it’s our duty. l believe we can do it. thank you for listening. my best wishes to you all.

如何英语演讲及演讲技巧
1.演讲前的准备
准备是搞好演讲的前提。首先是建立一个主题或话题。一般演讲比赛分为命题演讲和即兴演讲。
如要进行演讲比赛则必须对各个方面加以准备:政治、经济、文化、教育等,找好立意点,拟定题目,如政治方面的演讲主题:wto、统
一、和平与发展、机遇与挑战;经济演讲题目:西部大开发、农村经济、再就业;在教育方面,演讲的主题是:中西教育的差异、远程教育、终身教育、枪手;文化方面演讲主题:
文化的交流与融合、校园文化;环保演讲主题:人与自然;科技专题:网络、克隆、基因;卫生方面演讲主题:
keepphysicallyandmentallyhealthy;体育方面演讲主题:olympics……有些方面题目太大,可从多角度和多侧面思考,找好切入点,将题目细化和具体化,写出演讲稿的提纲,构思和组织演讲稿结构。
主题拟定后的第二步是收集整理演讲材料。其中最好的方法就是有计划地阅读大量的英语原文以及各类英语报刊杂志,阅读是一个循序渐进的过程,同时也是培养英语思维的过程,对提高英语的口头表达能力和书面表达能力是至关重要的。使用相关资源和材料(如书籍、报纸、杂志或互联网资源)收集所需内容。
然后整理好材料,丢弃不重要或无用的材料,准备写一篇演讲稿。
2演讲稿的写作
演讲稿首先开头要开门见山,既要一下子抓住听众又要提出你的观点,中间要用各种方法和所准备的材料说明、支持你的论点,感染听众,然后在结尾加强说明论点或得出结论,结束演讲。
演讲稿的写作有严格的要求。在内容上,要主题鲜明,表达完整;在组织结构上,要思路清晰,逻辑性强;就语言而言,它应该具有感染力和生动性。写作时可根据需要有效、正确地使用英语写作方法和技巧,如恰当地运用明喻、暗喻、夸张等各种修辞方法,用词要准确,尽量避免使用生僻、模糊、晦涩的字词。总而言之,我们应该考虑听众,注意演讲的措辞,但我们应该简洁、合理、有理、紧凑。
许多著名演说家的不朽作品具有鼓舞和扭转世界的力量。从马丁.路德.金的“ihaveadream”,美国**林肯所作的著名的盖茨堡演说,到克林顿在北大的演说,不少句子都成为不朽的佳句,值得认真研读.

关于爱的英语演讲稿
情Love
Ever since the dawning of the history of mankind, there have been myriads of diversified inventions, discoveries, and even explorations of the mysteries of the universe. In fact, the human beings are so intelligent that we have solved almost all kinds of problems we have confronted with.
however, nobody has ever made out what the word
“love” really connotes, not even the most famous people such as great politicians, saints and philosophers can clarify the meaning of “love”, neither can they deal with the various affairs concerning love. Love is like a huge boundless net that shrouds us all in. we can neither break away from it nor escape from it. Like it or not, we are always entangled in it. It is an invisible net without any form that shrouds in different people from different angels; it is a merciless net that upsets us or even
tortures us to death. It is also a supreme net which almost no human can surpass. Even if they are heroes, emperors, wise men or saints, they can do nothing but show their
helplessness in its face. Those who can breathe through the holes of the net should be regarded beyond commonness and vulgarity. Love can bring us temporary comfort and happiness, but mostly they bring about annoyance and
sufferings. Maybe this is the reason why many people have seen through the illusions of the mortal world. However it is not so easy to break away from this boundless, ever-existing and indifferent net of love.
Love is varied and changeable, but roughly it can be divided into three categories: family love, fraternal love and amatory love. not like monkey king who jumped out of the rocks, we were all born after mother's pregnancy of about nine months, hence we have countless relatives without any choice: parents, grand-parents, and
grand-parents-in-law, uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters, etc. and once looking at the genealogical tree, we'll see no end. Family love is what everyone longs for, but the warmth and support from our beloved ones are what everyone yearns for the most. But how many of us are
determined to contribute to our beloved one? And how many don't expect repayment and relaxed. Conscience even if they have the desire and preparation to contribute to their
beloved. The distance between relatives is different and so are their expectations. But since it's very difficult to know how much we should expect, a lot of worries and distresses emerge.
Parents always expect their children to show their filial obedience, or at least pay those frequent visits after they have got married. If the children fail to do this, they feel hurt and upset, and they'll even complain about their children, because they just can't understand why their children don't care about them after what they have done for the children for so many years to bring them up. Nevertheless, one's experience determines his
ideology. Young children are naturally attached to their parents, but when they grow up, especially when they have made their own friends, and got married, what they need most is independence and freedom, and parents sometimes might become their burden. Once there is generation gap, it becomes more difficult to communicate and this keeps them away from their parents. Objectively speaking, they need more independence in order to achieve success. In the present society, what the children want to have most is the economic support from their parents, not their moral

support or guidance. They would complain if your economic support is not up to their expectations. The love from uncles and aunties would naturally dwindle after they have had their own children. Only the love from grand-parents and grand parents-in-law is pure and demands no repayment, and they are also too old to wait for any repayment. As for the distant relatives, their love depends on their needs, just as the old saying goes “the poor have no friends even if they live in downtown while the rich have distant relatives even if they live in deep mountains”. Granny lie, a distant kinsfolk, in a dream of the red mansions, claims kinship with the wealthy jia family, thinking that she may benefit from it in some ways. Liu might have run away without any traces if the jia family had been a poor one. another saying goes “close neighbors are better than distant relatives.” the most difficult is to manage the relatives when doing business together, just as what the TV series program lie lagoon discloses. It is all right to stay poor together, but as soon as the business grows prosperous, the group will become estranged and even dissolve because of the unfair distribution. Family love is like a maze which we shouldn't go too far
into it, otherwise, we'll surely get lost. Love is a
bilateral matter and unilateral love can only lead you to nowhere in spite of your good intentions. Family love is, sometimes, like an arranged marriage, leaving no choices to you. Due to the different experiences and tastes, staying together
err temporarily can be entertaining, while living together for a long time can only be boring due to the lack of common interest and understanding. How can we communicate with each other without understanding? Parents have the duty to support the children who are not yet economically independent, and children have the responsibility to
provide for the elderly parents who are lack of economic abilities to support themselves. Except these two kinds of duties which we must fulfill, other kinds of love become conventional formalities such as paying visit to the sick or the dead and giving presents to the newly-born etc... No love among relatives has become a normal phenomenon which needn't to be fussed about. What’s worse is when love is contaminated by money. Sooner or later we will get

1.agree or disagree: museums should be made free.in my eyes, museums of course should be made free.
we know that, as a part of culture, museums restore many culture relics. these are typical symbols for a certain times. as a citizen of our country, it is necessary and natural to learn our past history. recent years, more and more museums are open free to the public. i couldnt agree more with it. free museum will greatly motivate all kinds of people to approach. whats more, in this fast developing age, museums have many new and advanced invents inside. it will be a wonderful place for people who want to learn more. parents can often take their children to museums to learn about history and some technical knowledge. in a word, i think government should try to make more museums free for citizens.
2.agree or disagree: zoos should be banned.
nowadays, lots of people start to realize that zoos are not a good place for animals. people need zoos because it is an easy way to close the animals and also because its convenient for people to observe them. however, zoos are in fact a cruel place for animals. animals should live in their natural habitat. an animals natural instinct is to run and to hunt. but thats not for animals kept in zoos. everyday, people feed them. theyve never been taught how to hunt for food and will gradually lose their natures. that will be quite cruel for a animal, especially for wild animals such as tigers and lions. you can often find in zoos that a tiger kept in cage has a loose expression in its face.we set animals in zoos and therefore feel that they wont meet danger and may be able to protect them from dying out. this may be just a excuse we find for ourselves to make animals in cages just as entertainment. we always say animals are our friends, then why we put our friends in cages?

1.agree or disagree: advertising aiming at children should be restricted.
i disagree. its fair to advertize to children even children are always said to be unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, between entertainment and advertising. a supposed consequence of advertising is that children are being persuaded to demand things that they dont need and to adopt consumerist values and attitudes in their formative years. however, its up to the parents to determine what should and shouldn抰 be bought for their children. children need to know how to see these ads and realize how a certain product would affect them and thus balance out the pros and cons and see if its in their best interest. in my opinion, the parents as well as the world need to stop babying children and let them learn lessons for life, because certain things cant be restricted well. temptation is always at childrens side. they have to learn to resist and make responsible decisions.
2.agree or disagree: junk food should be taxed.
1.agree or disagree: universities should abolish the practice of cutting off the electricity at dormitory at night.
i agree with it. as a student, i should say, university shouldnt cut off electricity at dormitory at night. the original intention for university to cut off electricity is to ensure our rest for some students will stay up very late if there is nothing to limit them. however, these students are minority. most students have regular timetable. what抯 more, we are now already in university, i think we shouldn抰 be treated like high school students any longer. especially in summer hot days, no electricity at night would be a nightmare to all students. we cant fall asleep without electric fans. i cant just imagine that. universities should think more for their students and trust their self-control.

绝招十八条精彩奉送
[导语]1、讲演的战略战术上;2、细节的问题上;3、关键词上;从此,讲演水平提高了,语言表达的质量加强了,说话也更加有信心了。
绝招一:排比的运用
排比是一种写作修辞手法,也是一种普遍应用的演讲技巧。排比是用句法结构相同的段落、句子或词组,把两个或多个事物加以比较,借以突出它们的共同点和不同点。很多时候,排比的段落或句子是以一种递进的方式排列,营造出一种雷霆万钧的气势,同时琅琅上口,富有乐感。
绝招二:用词准确
寻找恰当的词是没有绝对的法则的,但通常最简单的词、最具体、最能生动地引起感官反应
的词语是最佳选择。尽量少用形容词和各种限定词,着重实意动词和名词的使用。平时多查阅字典,一本好的分类词典会对你有很大帮助的。
绝招三:亲切感
使用第一人称i而不是one,使用简单生动的主动语态,而不是复杂乏味的波动结构,这样好像是演讲者自己直接和观众说话,拉近了双方的距离,促进双方的相互交流。 绝招四:应对意外
一般来说,演讲时可能遇到三种倒霉事:1、结巴。不用掩饰,否则会更加失态。相反,停顿一下,笑一笑,把这个句子再说一次,再继续说下去。2、技术故障,如话筒出了问题等。等待人员修理,或者冷静发言。3、事实错误,如把珍珠港事件说成是1941年9月7日。在合适的地方停下来改正错误,不要急躁而导致精力分散,出现更多错误。
绝招五:巧妙引用
明智地使用引语能给你的演讲增色不少,扩大权威性,增强说明力。在引用名家的话语或文章时,要注意遵循四条原则:1、引用材料尽量简短、选择与演讲主题相关的部分;2、使引用的材料有机地成为演讲的一部分;3、不要重复引用,除非特别强调;4、引用准确,不要断章取义。
绝招六:语调的抑扬顿挫
演讲时的语调的起伏不仅能使演讲更生动,而且还能传达演讲者丰富的感情信息。试想如果总是用一种平板的语调,不仅演讲者本身显得无精打采,听众也会很快产生疲倦厌烦的心理。一般来说,升调传达着激昂的情绪,如兴奋、愤怒、谴责、疑问;降调则表达灰暗的情绪,如悔恨、伤心、失望和郁闷等。本篇演讲就是善于运用语调的变化的优秀范例,抑扬顿挫折,张弛结合,尤其是后半部分,通过语调的激越高亢以及反复的手段,将演讲推至最高潮。 绝招七:脉络清晰
在交流过程中产生误会的可有性是很大的,因此,有一个清晰的确良结构和流畅的`阐述是成功演讲的必要因素之一。除了开头尾阐明主题之外,还要有一二三个分论点来进一步展开阐述。牢记演讲的结构,必要的话,可以在开头就阐明演说的脉络,并在演讲中不断提示听众,还可以相应地使用各种图表和设备以加深听众的印象。
绝招八:俚语的使用
俚语可以让演讲生动活泼,也可以使演讲陈旧过时。如果不太熟悉最新的俚语,会让演讲者本身显得与时代脱节。慎用俚语。如果使用一个效果不错又形象生动的俚语来表达你想表达的内容,效果会好很多。但要注意千万不要使用带种族色彩和淫秽的俚语。
绝招九:使用身体语言
身体语言包括人的面部表情、手足动作、作立姿势等。这种无声的语言不仅会传递信息,而且会影响到交流的各方。演讲时,表情要自然,面带微笑,不要紧张得面部肌肉都僵硬子;眼睛要直视听众,与他们作眼神的交流;在演讲时适当地加入一些姿势,以强调你的讲话但不要过分夸张。
绝招十:正确发音
发音正确、清晰、连贯、优美是吸引听众的最有力的法宝。英语和美语有许多地方口音,这是不值得模仿的。发音不准会引起误解,影响演说的效果。尤其要注意区别以下几个音:/ /。其次,要注意在正确的位置连读。
绝招十一:幽默的运用
幽默不仅是生活的调味品,也是调节演讲气氛的好佐料。但幽默并不是在任何时候任何场合都可能随便用的,如果用得不恰当,反而会收到适得其反的效果。演讲时,可以说一说与主题或观点有关的趣闻趣事,或者与自己有关的一些滑稽小故事,千万别仅仅为了逗乐听众而说一些离题千里的笑话,或者含沙射影,让听众觉得有一种被侮辱的感觉。
绝招十二:押头韵
头韵(alliteration)也是一种修辞手法,即在一个词组或一个诗行中有两个以上彼此靠近的词,其开头的音节或其他重读音节具有同样的字母或声音,以达到强调的效果。如第六段的diverse和dynamic,south bronx和southern tier,brookiyn buffalo,montaukt 和 massena,开头字母的发音都是/d/,/s/,/b/或 /m/,这为演讲带来一种节奏感和韵律美。 绝招十三:事前准备
绝招十四:设备的使用
随着科技水平的提高,各种各样的现代化设备,如vcd、录影带、投影仪等都能为听众带来直观的视觉和听觉享受。
绝招十五:语速的把握
确定讲稿后,可根据内容以及自己的特性来确定语速。语速不仅有天生的因素,也可以通过后天的刻意训练来改变。一般来说,语速不要太快--因为会给人一种紧张的感觉,也不要太慢--显得迟钝沉闷,能找到自己说起来比较舒服,同时也适中的语速是最好的。本篇演讲的语速稍稍有些嫌快,若不是演讲者的幽默活跃了全场的气氛,还真有些显得太过急促。 绝招十六:作好即兴演讲
即兴演讲是演讲者在事先无准备的情况下,就眼前的场面、情境、事物和人物即席发表的演讲。由于事先没有准备讲是最能看出演讲者的综合素质,尤其是应变能力的时刻。即兴演讲要靠平时的积累一台下刻意训练,台上听其自然。另外,要弄清楚即兴演讲的主题,否则,开口就离题万里,说得再好也白搭。其次,在脑海里迅速拟一个大致的提纲,避免泛泛而谈。最后是不要急躁,不要慌张,保持镇定。
绝招十七:音量的控制
演讲时声音的大小是最能反映演讲者是否自信的一个因素。一个小若蚊虫、大家扯着耳朵都无法听清在哼唧些什么的声音,是绝不会与自信扯上关系的。当然也不用扯着嗓子说话,否则不仅容易失声,也会显得失态。让在场的每一个人能清楚舒服地听到你的声音就可以了,一些特别的句子或词语可以加重以作强调。也许是由于录音问题,本篇演讲的声音偏小,显得有些有气无力。
绝招十八:节奏的把握
