全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講大賽演講稿之第十名ChinesephilosopherConfucius.doc

Good afternoon Ladies and gentleman, two thousand years ago, the Chinese philosopher, Confucius, advocated a harmonious society without selflessness and conflicts. Fifteen hundred years later, the English author, Tomas More, wrote about an imaginary place in which everyone enjoys peace, equality and common wealth. These and various other ideal worlds share something in common: peace, love and harmony.（quote two celebrities：Confucius and Tomas More，from east to west， show the differences and similarities between the definition and image of peaceful Utopia） Such has been a dream of human beings throughout the world. And we have been long working toward this goal. History has witnessed numerous wars and even today some parts of the world are still suffering from the threats of conflicts. Such a dream, however, has only been going stronger instead of going awry.（the talking point） When the athletes from North and South Korea walked into the Olympic field hand in hand, holding one flag of Korean peninsula, they together lit the torch in an effort to end the half-centurys conflicts. (the example to support the talking point above )It is true there are still many problems in the world- Problems of too complicated roots to be solved at once. As we all know, some small countries are being bullied by big power now and then; but at the same time we see protests being staged all over the world. The nuclear power has caused unstable equilibrium but the cold war has made us aware that what a desolate future the world would have if nuclear wars were to break out. Racial discrimination and religious conflicts still prevail, but as far as I know, no religion in the world teaches people to hate or fight,(the hot issue of reality, catch audiences attention and arise warries) indeed, reality is always far from ideal.(conclusion) But the problems are not altogether unsolvable. We human beings are blessed with reasons and have the confidence that the light of reason will eventually disperses the dark and shadows.(person perspective filled with hope and positive attitude) With economy growing at an amazingly fast rate in the last two decades, China is now facing with both tremendous opportunities as well as challenges.(transfer from the whole world to china, turning point) An important charge of mindset is that china is learning to be critical of its own problems and more concerned with addressing these problems, public opinion has been so active and constructive as it is now. Self-criticism and a sense of crisis is a sign of maturity and self-confidence. Chinese visionaries are now advocating green GDP and attaching great importance to social development that emphasizes human well-being. So it is not hard to see the direction in which china is moving. Policymaking is getting more down to earth. Corruption is still being fought hard and concepts such as due process and human rights are working their way into public consciousness. So, with all these efforts going on, sure and steady, there is good reason to believe that chinas future will be bright.（positive and convinced by the reason listed above） Last week, a forum was held in Beijing, the theme is Chinese dream and a harmonious world. The message is that all Chinese have a dream and that dream is peace and propensity and the realization of this dream will contribute to the harmony of the whole world. (filled with hope and look forward to more peaceful and wonderful future)Thank you very much.此篇演講稿選自全國(guó)大學(xué)生英語(yǔ)演講比賽第十名來(lái)自北京外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)趙婷的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演講稿。她演講時(shí)語(yǔ)言組織極為縝密，規(guī)范，表達(dá)流暢，根據(jù)中國(guó)實(shí)情，觀點(diǎn)獨(dú)到。是一篇作為演講的佳作。也是用來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的好材料。來(lái)自北外英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的她標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的英語(yǔ)不僅讓人嘆服，而且她具有獨(dú)特的世界觀的她在世界和平問(wèn)題，結(jié)合中西方的本身對(duì)和平的烏托邦社會(huì)的異同對(duì)比之后，加上當(dāng)今世界一些地區(qū)爭(zhēng)端（南韓北朝問(wèn)題，核問(wèn)題，強(qiáng)權(quán)問(wèn)題等）分析，更加讓人耳目一新。鮮活的例子和獨(dú)到的結(jié)論。雖然這個(gè)演講主題有些的大，但若能細(xì)微分析加獨(dú)特的觀點(diǎn)使得這篇演講稿不拘一格，與前兩篇相比，這篇比較具有全球性和震撼力，問(wèn)題分析的也很到位，她本人在演講過(guò)程中也顯得很大方。本身的高雅，大方的氣質(zhì)與這個(gè)大氣的演講相得益彰。這篇演講稿在上學(xué)期米老師課上的free talk上，我也模仿演講過(guò)，雖然沒(méi)有她的那么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)地表達(dá)，但是也模仿到一些在演講時(shí)的技巧。收益很多，這篇我比較喜歡。這篇演講稿的幾個(gè)亮點(diǎn)：1 開(kāi)篇分別舉了孔子和托馬斯的對(duì)于和平的觀點(diǎn)，從中國(guó)到西方的哲學(xué)家中分析異同，突出文章的中心論點(diǎn)harmoniousness。2 多出采用對(duì)比法，突出問(wèn)題，從開(kāi)篇的中西方對(duì)和諧觀的對(duì)比，到接下來(lái)的古今對(duì)比突顯現(xiàn)當(dāng)代的不和諧，不和諧因素普遍存在等。3 文章論點(diǎn)分明，論據(jù)有力。所舉出的例子鮮活，從實(shí)際中取材，真實(shí)有又有說(shuō)服力。4 態(tài)度樂(lè)觀，積極，但又不存在擔(dān)憂，觀點(diǎn)獨(dú)到，不只是一位的加重?fù)?dān)憂，胡亂呻吟，而是客觀的分析問(wèn)題。5 語(yǔ)言組織的很緊密，文章流暢，邏輯性強(qiáng)。層層推進(jìn)，由大到小的層次，化大為小的分析。 -Liu Xinquan評(píng)1. imaginaryimdinriadj.想象中的, 假想的; 虛構(gòu)的imaginary指“想象的”、“虛構(gòu)的”, 如:Although the main characters in the novel are so true to life, they are imaginary.雖然小說(shuō)里的人物寫(xiě)得栩栩如生, 但都是虛構(gòu)的。imaginative指“ 富于想象力的”, 如:Scott was an imaginative writer.司格特是位富于想象力的作家。imaginable 指“可想象的”, 常放在名詞后面, 前加 all, only, every 或最高級(jí)形容詞, 如:This is the only solution imaginable.這是唯一想得出的解決辦法。2 Numerous1.很多的, 許多的3.Korean peninsula Korean Peninsula 朝鮮半島Korean Peninsula nuclear issue 朝鮮半島核問(wèn)題4.awry扭曲；斜；歪5.bully1.恐嚇, 威逼6.nuclear形容詞 adj.1.核的, 原子核的 Hes very interested in nuclear physics.他對(duì)核物理學(xué)非常感興趣。2.使用或生產(chǎn)核能的 A nuclear reactor is the apparatus in which atoms are split.核反應(yīng)堆是分裂原子的裝置。3.核武器的7.prevail1.說(shuō)服, 勸說(shuō); 誘使2.盛行, 流行3.獲勝; 占優(yōu)勢(shì)8.equilibrium平衡(狀態(tài), 性, 圖, 曲線), 均衡, 均勢(shì), 相稱, 平均(心情的)平靜(判斷的)不偏不倚 習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)be in equilibrium 保持處于平衡狀態(tài)be in equilibrium with 與.平衡reach equilibrium with 與.(達(dá))到平衡9.tremendous1.極大的, 巨大的2.絕妙的, 極棒的10.disperse (使)散開(kāi), 驅(qū)散11.due process1.法定訴訟程序12.visionary1.有眼光的, 有遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)的 The question remains thoughwas he a visionary or a madman？問(wèn)題仍然存在他究竟是個(gè)有遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)的人, 還是個(gè)瘋子？2.空想的, 幻想的, 不切實(shí)際的 a visionary scheme for the future對(duì)未來(lái)的不切實(shí)際的計(jì)劃The ideas of a visionary may seem impractical to us.在我們看來(lái),空想家的觀念好像不切實(shí)際。名詞 n.1.有幻覺(jué)的人2.好幻想的人;空想家 They are left-wing visionaries.他們是左翼空想家。3.有遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)卓識(shí)者 True visionaries
