the road not taken in life we must learn to love the lonely path, not fear it.not always is the popular path a safe one.there are always options.the road le traveled can be fun. topic——tourism and ecology: learning through travel 第八届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军——顾秋蓓 a scene to remember gu qiubei shanghai international studies university advisor: gong longsheng good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.today i would like to begin with a story. 下午好，各位先生女士们 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. 今天，我想首先用一个小故事。曾经有一个物理治疗师谁亲赴从美国到非洲做一个关于山地大猩猩普查。这些大猩猩是对游客的吸引力，主要来自世界各地，这使他们严重不足的偷猎威胁，目前到动物园付诸表决。她去了好奇，但她看见她的决心，增强她的一生奉献为这些美丽的生物战斗。她亲眼目睹的场景，场景带我们到一个地方，我们从来没有影像，我们经历过的，其中在非洲热带雨林的深处，树木，花卉，蝴蝶，大猩猩包围的母亲拥抱自己的婴儿。 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. 是的，在我最喜欢的电影之一难忘的场景，呼吁在薄雾大猩猩的基础上，戴安娜弗西夫人，谁在此度过了一生中最卢旺达保护，直到她生命的最后的生态环境有真实的故事。 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.对我来说，电影，不仅提供了一个难忘的场景，而且也是一个永恒提醒我们，我们不应该在发展我们的生态成本，环境，旅游业行为。 1 / 3 deforestation to heat lodges is devastating nepal.oil spills from tourist boats are polluting antarctica.tribal people are forsaking their native music and dre to listen to u2 on walkman and wear nike and reeboks. 今天，我们生活在一个繁荣的世界，但仍这么多的新问题的威胁。一方面，旅游业作为21世纪最有前途的产业之一，为我们提供了极好的机会都没有看到人都会看到，并前往任何地方有去。这已成为一些人的生活方式，并已被证明是在国内生产总值增长的推动力。它的神奇，把一个繁荣仙境1落后的小城。但在另一方面，可能会出现很多问题-自然景观不自然了。砍伐森林的热小屋是毁灭性的尼泊尔。旅游船油泄漏污染是南极。部落的人丧失了本土音乐和服饰，听取他们对随身听u2和穿耐克和锐步。 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. 所有这些令人震惊的事实使我们认识到，我们不能再袖手旁观，什么都不做，因为它认为非常侵蚀了我们的资源。令人鼓舞的是，全球旅游的爆炸性增长已经把旅游业再次在聚光灯下，这就是为什么联合国2002年提出的生态旅游首次提请全世界注意旅游业的好处，但也其能力，破坏我们的生态环境。 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 invalids(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? because they care.because they still want their mother nature back.because they know it still belongs to them. 现在每年有很多地方环境保护组织接受捐赠-大笔记，笔记，甚至小硬币-从家庭主妇，管道工，救护车司机，售货员，教师，儿童和残疾人。其中一些人可没有钱给的钱，但他们这样做。这是谁驾驶的出租车，谁在医院护士，谁从他们所在地区的生态破坏的痛苦。为什么？因为他们的照顾。因为他们仍然希望他们回到大自然。因为他们知道它仍然属于他们。 the other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.i found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else.a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of gra where no one seem to have been except the deer. 有一天晚上，我看见月亮徘徊在土地和前被送进了无形的，心里却充满了歌曲。我发现自己轻轻哼唱，而不是音乐，而是别的东西，别的地方，一个地方记住，一个地方不动，一个草地，再没有人似乎除了鹿被。 2 / 3 and all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that its lime for us to do 和那些难忘的情景更增强了的感觉，现在需要我们做一些事情，为我们自己和我们的未来一代。
再次，我所认为的夫人戴安娜弗西，因为它与她的精神，热情，勇气和强烈的生态环境，我们的感觉是，我们正在进入世界的下一个步骤。 and no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, theres always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it. 不管我们是谁，我们做什么，而且我们去，在我们的脑海，总有一个场景要记住，一个值得努力保护，并争取的场景。 thank you very much. 非常感谢。 3 / 3篇3：英语演讲比赛演讲稿 a song in my heart good evening: ladies and gentlemen throw away my worry,go straight on bravely ,i`ll stand on the center of my stage.i do believe in tomorrow,i do believe i am what i am.these are part of that i most enjoy. yeah! it`s my favourite song since i first heard it.i`m deeply moved by the spirit of what the song delivers.during the song,it`s full of encouragement and confidence that aruse my feelings.especially,i appreciate one lyric.i do believe i am what i am.oh,how confident!who can say it so loudly! it implies that as a man or woman ,one of most important quality is confidence.if only[provided that]we are confident of what we face up with,we `ll make the most as a man ,a useful motto is a light to darkne.that’s all, thank you for attention.篇4：21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛演讲稿

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。
