专家点评:引用文学大师的诗句作为开场白，与结束语首尾呼应，颇有感染力。东西方文化的融合表现得十分鲜明，意味深长，是篇优秀的演讲。 croing the sea good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.the title of my speech today is croing the sea.an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in his poem we and they: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they we live over the sea while they live over the way we eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives they who gobble their rice off a leaf are horrified out of their lives. when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked-how could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? todays society, of course, is an entirely different picture.those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips. indeed, just take china as an example: our modern life has been influenced by western style of living in so many ways that its no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds and even rather elderly people dreed in apple jeans. however, these are only some expreions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today.what is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nations mentality.just look around. it is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient eastern civilization are already living under strong inf1uence of the western culture.but it is not only in china that we find the incorporation of the two cultures. take the chinese acupuncture as another example: this traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the west and hence the underlying notion that illne is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body -- an idea which would strike any westerner as incredible in the past! ladies and gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before.we live in a particular era when countries, east and west, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values.we live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happine of the whole human race.to cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between china and the rest of the world. it is my happiest dream that the new generation of chinese will not only grow up drinking coca-cola and watching hollywood, but also be bleed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures; benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of. to end my speech, i would like to quote rudyard kipling again: all the people like us are we and everyone else is they but once you cro over the sea you will end by looking on we as only a sort of they thank you. 译文:穿越海洋
女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。
英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道: 像我们的人是我们
其余的人是他们
我们生活在海这边
他们生活在路那边
我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉
吞吃粽叶包饭的他们吓得要死。
第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。
的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。
然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。
不久以前，大学生还只是束手空坐，等待政府给他们分配工作;如今，又有多少大学生正在做充分准备，为争取任何工作机会而激烈角逐? 20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来，今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加演讲比赛的诸位，谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下篇2：全国大学生英语英语演讲比赛第一名_顾秋蓓_演讲稿(绝对精彩) good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.today i would like to begin with a story. there was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from america to africa to do a census about mountain gorillas.these gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo.she went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures.she witneed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged weve ever been, where in the very depth of the african rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies. yes, thats a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called gorillas in the mist, based on a true story of mrs.dian foey, who spent most of bet lifetime in rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life. to me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timele reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment. today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems.on the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great all these appalling(令人震惊的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding(侵蚀) our resources.encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the united nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the worlds attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment. now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 1invalids(残疾人), some of them can not afford to send the money but they do.these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood.why?

answer: thank you.i remember, on my very first day of my beloved university, one of my profeors said to me,“from now on, you’ll be on a journey between who you think you are and who yo can be.the key is to allow yourself to continue the journey in the ocean of the books.”and i do learn a lot from books: i know the geometry of euclid, logic of aristotle, fable of aesop known to children around the world.well, no nation enjoyed so much prospertity and so much social progre with so little internal crises.and never before have our young people had so much great opportunity to practice ourselves and, therefore, have a profound obligation to build a more perfect nation of our ancestor’s dream.and i think our government had provided us young people with the tools and condition to build the future of our dreams.even if we know some rules, some regulations, or experiences from our books, we still simply cannot graft it onto today’s busier, more impersonal, contestant#18, in your speech, you talked about ecotourism.could you explain to us difference between ordinary tourists and e-tourists, or ecotourists? answer: thank you for your question.and i think the key iue is the differences between our awarene.fot example, if you want to go to a place to have a trip, enjoy your trip.and i think before you get on board, get on the bus, you can have the awarene that “i’m not a polluter, but an environment keeper.” we’re not go to all those scenic spots to destroy all those beautiful scenes but we to appreciate the mother nature giving us so much things.thank you very much. answer: well, i think, maybe, umm, i don’t think that all those technologies can replace the importance of books.we’re in our modern village where so many new industries—it industries, tourism industries—crop up every day and this brave new world seem a little bit dehumanizing and inhospitable to a lot of people.the world can no longer be defined as a place on a map or list or people in organizations but i think the true value, the eence of our village remains the same.it is the network of values relationship that support our lives and we can learn those things from our books because books is the very first beginning stage of what we learn.thank you very much. i’d like to ask you a question about your prepared speech,please.you mention that the un has declated the year 2002, i think it was, “the year of ecotourism.” do you think that such gestures really serve a purpose? answer: and i think one of my teachers said to me, when i prepared my prepared speech, and he tells me that if we pay more attention to something like environmental protection or ecotourism, it is more, it is better for us to bear in mind we should learn something in our hearts, we should have something about the awarene about how to pay more respect to our environment, not to talk about something orally but to bear something in our hearts.follow our hearts, our environment can be better.thank you very much.篇4：21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛历届讲稿 from walls to bridges 第十届―21世纪杯‖全国英语演讲比赛冠军——夏鹏 南京大学
夏鹏原系贵州省平坝县黎阳厂子校学生，小学五年级开始进入贵阳百年英语学校系统学习英语。2003年,夏鹏以600分的高分考入南京大学法学院,后转入英语系。2004年获得cctv全国英语演讲比赛第二名，同年获得代表国内最高水平的第十届―21世纪杯‖全国英语演讲比赛冠军，同时获得比赛―最具潜力奖‖，并代表中国参加2005年国际英语演讲比赛，荣获获得冠军和―最受观众欢迎奖‖。 演讲稿：from walls to bridges im studying in a city famous for its walls.all visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines.with old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city. our ancestors liked to build walls.they built walls in beijing, xian, nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakes through half of our country.they built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits.this tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.i grew up at the foot of the city walls, and ive loved them since my childhood.for a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world. my perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs, a scenic area of my city.my clamates and i were walking with some international students.as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads.suddenly an international student asked me, where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs? were already in the eastern suburbs, i replied. he seemed taken aback, i thought you chinese have walls for everything.his remark set off a heated debate.at one point, he likened our walled cities to jails, while i insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had no walls. that debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from this international student.for instance, he told me that universities like oxford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campuses were just part of the cities.i have to admit that we do have many walls in china, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible.we will keep some walls but tear down those that impede chinas development. let me give you an example. a year ago, when i was working on a term paper, i needed a book on busine law and found a copy in the law school library.however, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, you cant borrow this book, you are not a student here.in the end, i had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy; meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf. at the beginning of this semester, i heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated.barriers will be replaced by bridges.through an inter-library loan system, we will have acce to books from any library.with globalization, with china integrated into the world, i believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down. i know globalization is a controversial iue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.but one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to chinas tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world. and how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? should we tear them down? just the opposite.my city, like beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls.these walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage.walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world.if the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great change in the role of their walls.they are now bridges that link east and west, south and north, and all countries of the world.our cultural heritage will survive globalization. our future: the garden of one flower or many flowers 第十一届―21世纪杯‖全国英语演讲比赛亚军——吴相臣 天津师范大学 演讲稿：our future: the garden of one flower or many flowers it has always been our dream to open our childrens hearts.we encourage them to describe their dreams, and acted as if we are ready to accept their thoughts.but the fact is that, children are scared by the zero marked on their papers.they are trained to say what we want to hear. 第十一届―21世纪·澳门之星杯‖全国英语演讲比赛冠军——曹丰 清华大学
演讲稿：our future: a battle between dreams and reality good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen: when i was in the primary school, i have a dream.i want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all.when i was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university.and when eventually i got into the university, my dream was to graduate. ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real.it is a barrier keeping us from all the poible fantasies.flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years.a hundred years ago, man could not fly was still regarded as the reality.now if that was really the reality, what did the wright brothers do? how did some of you get to macau? only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams. people say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams.and if, unfortunately, mr.reality wins this war, then i see no future of mankind at all.aids will never be curable as this is the reality; people living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this is the reality; 4)disputes among different countries would never be settled as this篇5：2015年外研社杯全国英语演讲比赛海选统一演讲稿 【注】海选采用统一演讲稿以利于选手之间的比较。其主要考查选手语音语调、演讲风格。
海选时，采取突然淘汰法，即准备不充分、语音语调差的直接淘汰。反之，直接晋级。 只是.......要麻烦大家背诵了！其实.......你有把握前两段就打动评委，那.......（不说了）。 we are the world,we are the future someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”.i don’t know who wrote these words, but i’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be.we are all in the position of the farmers.if we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest.if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. we are young.“how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful question.to answer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind.it’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees.it’s the matter of the will.it’s the freshne of the deep spring of life. a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.several days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture.i learnt a lot there.i’d like to share it with all of you.let’s show our right palms.we can see three lines that show how our love, career and life is.i have a short line of life.what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way.well, let’s make a fist.where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell me.yeah, it is in our hands.it is held in ourselves. we all want the future to be better than the past.but the future can go better itself.don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.from the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher.we’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it.failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way.failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder. as what i said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”.the past has gone.nothing we do will change it.but the future is in front of us.believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us.and from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “we are the world, we are the future.”
参考译文
世界是我们的，未来是我们的 一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。
我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差，有很多草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。 我们是年轻的。“怎样度过青春?”这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它，我首先要问“从‘青春’这个词中你能理解到什么?” 青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，。青春是生命的深泉在涌流. 一位诗人说“从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那里收藏”。几天前，我有了一个听讲座的机会，从中我学到了很多东西。现在，我想把这些与大家共享。让我们伸出右手，我们可以看到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。我在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢?我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。好的，让我们一起握拳。我们的未来在哪儿?我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿?告诉我!是的，它们就在我们的手中。它们被我们自己掌握着。
我们所有人都希望未来能比过去更美好，但是未来能自己变得更好。不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。从过去来看，生活是艰苦的，但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择感觉，但是我们能选择和它相关的东西。失败并不意味着你不拥有成功，它只意味着你应该用另一种方式去做这件事。失败并不意味着你应该放弃，只意味着你应该更加努力。
正如我在前面所说的“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”过去的已经过去，无论我们无力改变，但是未来却在我们前方。相信“我们给了世界什么，世界也将给我们”。并且从今天起，让我们一起做我们自己的主人，一起大声说出“世界是我们的，未来是我们的。
