Discover yourself. 英語演講稿中英對照：Today Im going to talk about discover yourself. 今天我要談的是：發(fā)現(xiàn)自己。Ever since the accelerated development of human civilization, perpetual scientific discovery of nature have companied mankind all along the journey. 自然科學(xué)的發(fā)現(xiàn)始終伴隨著人類文明的飛速發(fā)展。It was by discovering the around us that human beings have been able to live a more sophisticated life. 通過對周圍事物的觀察和發(fā)現(xiàn)，我們?nèi)祟愐呀?jīng)過著更美好的生活。However, as G.K. Chesterton once said “one may understand the cosmos, but never the ego, the self is more distance than any star. 然而，切斯特頓曾經(jīng)說過：人們可以了解宇宙。但從來不了解自己，自我的距離遠超過任何星辰的距離。Thus, a life is a journey of unrelenting offers to discover more of ourselves. 因此，生活是一個不屈不撓、努力發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的旅程。When I was six, I constantly picture myself as an elegant and skilled pianist rendering Xiao Bangs nocturnal beautifully on the stage, receiving award and applause after my performance. 當(dāng)我六歲時，就不斷想象自己像一個優(yōu)雅和嫻熟的鋼琴家，在舞臺上演奏肖邦的優(yōu)美的小夜曲，在演奏結(jié)束后收獲著獎勵和掌聲 However, as I further my piano lessons, it was hard to be oblivious of my non-gifted skills. 可是，在隨后的鋼琴課上，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我并沒有演奏鋼琴的天賦。Sometimes I couldnt help but have this feeling of despair, when I woke up to the reality and discover that my goal was unrealistic. 有時候，當(dāng)我從夢中回到現(xiàn)實，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的目標多么的不切實際，我忍不住感到絕望。Brutal but real. 現(xiàn)實是殘酷的。It was the first time; I had discovered that I couldnt have it at all, when I was twelve. 12歲的時候，我第一次發(fā)現(xiàn)我不可能成為鋼琴演奏家。I thought the coolest job in the entire universe was to be a surgeon. 我曾經(jīng)以為在全世界外科醫(yī)生是最酷的工作，。I spent hours and hours watching the drama Greys Anatomy and couldnt help falling in love with the kind of live those doctor lead on the scream. 我一遍又一遍地觀看情節(jié)劇實習(xí)醫(yī)生格蕾，并不自覺地被那些尖叫的醫(yī)生所吸引。I was utterly mesmerized by the scalpel and all those fancy medical terms that use. 我完全被手術(shù)刀和那些花哨的醫(yī)療用語迷住了。However, I stop to dream about being a surgeon when I discover that it was the idea of being a surgeon that appeal to me, not what it truly was. 但是，當(dāng)發(fā)現(xiàn)成為一名外科醫(yī)生只是一廂情愿時，我就不再侈想。As a result, the dream ended and I discovered some more about myself. 此后，隨著夢想的破滅，我加深了對自己的了解。This year, I turned sixteen and I could proudly say I do not dream to be, but ascertain to peruse being a lower in the future. 在我十六歲那一年，我可以自豪地說，我不再夢想著成為什么什么，但卻為未來制定了一個現(xiàn)實的目標。

我知道，要想成為一個偉大的律師其前路困難重重，但這并沒有把我嚇倒，那是因為我對我的追求充滿了信心和激情。 G.K.Chestertonwasabsolutelycorrect;themostcomplicatedpartofcomprehendingtheworldisthestudyofsomehowsmallerworld,ourselves.切斯特頓是對的，要想理解世界上最復(fù)雜的部分需要從對小的地方著手研究即從研究我們自己開始。 Isubsequentlyrealizedthatgrowingupisaprocessthatdiscoveryourselves.從那以后，我意識到成長的過程就是一個不斷發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的過程。 Wegottoknowwhatwetrulyareandbecomewhowedreamtobe.我們需要知道真正的自己然后才能我成為我們夢想中的自己。Asweshapeourselvesandasweshapeofourlives.當(dāng)我們塑造自己時，同時也在塑造我們的生活。

當(dāng)我們逐漸認識道自己的不足和潛力，進而學(xué)著去適應(yīng)和調(diào)整，并因此，女士們，先生們，我可以很自豪地說，我已經(jīng)逐漸發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己，今天正在發(fā)現(xiàn)且明天會更多地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己。Iwouldalwayskeepthisinembeddedinmyheart.我將會永遠記住這一點。
