a helping hand 伸出援手
a man who lived in a block of apartments thought it was raining and put his head out the window to check.as he did so a glaeye fell into his hand.
he looked up to see where it came from in time to see a young woman looking down.
\"is this yours?\" he asked.
she said, \"yes, could you bring it up?\" and the man agreed.
on arrival she was profuse in her thanks and offered the man a drink.as she was very attractive he agreed.shortly afterwards she said, \"i\'m about to have dinner.there\'s plenty.would you like to join me?\"
he readily accepted her offer and both enjoyed a lovely meal.as the evening was drawing to a close the lady said, \"i\'ve had a marvelous evening.would you like to stay the night?\"
the man hesitated then said, \"do you act like this with every man you meet?\"
\"no,\" she replied, \"only those who catch my eye.\"
a place to sleep 睡觉的地方
by the time john pulled into the little town, every hotel room was taken.\"you\'ve got to have a room somewhere.\" he pleaded.\"or just a bed--i don\'t care where.\"
\"well, i do have a double room with one occupant,\" admitted the manager,\" and he might be glad to split the cost.but to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past.i\'m not sure it\'d be worth it to you.\"
\"no problem,\" the tired traveler aured him.\"i\'ll take it.\"
the next morning, john came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.when asked about how he slept, he replied, \"never better.\"
the manager was impreed.\"no problem with the other guy snoring, then?\"
\"nope.i shut him up in no time.\"
\"how\'d you manage that?\"
\"he was already in bed, snoring away, when i came in the room,\" john said.\"i went over, gave him a kion the cheek, said, \'goodnight, beautiful.\' with that he sat up all night watching me.\"
这些美好不会消逝
the bright,the beautiful, 一切纯洁的,辉煌的,美丽的,
that stirred our hearts in youth, 强烈地震撼着我们年轻的心灵的,
the impulses to wordleprayer, 推动着我们做无言的祷告的,
the dreams of love and truth; 让我们梦想着爱与真理的;
the longing after something‘s lost, 在失去后为之感到珍惜的,
the spirit‘s yearning cry, 使灵魂深切地呼喊着的,
the striving after better hopes- 为了更美好的梦想而奋斗着的-
these things can never die.这些美好不会消逝。
the timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手，
a brother in his need, 在你的弟兄需要的时候，
a kindly word in grief‘s dark hour 伤恸、困难的时候，一句亲切的话
that proves a friend indeed ; 就足以证明朋友的真心;
the plea for mercy softly breathed, 轻声地乞求怜悯，
when justice threatens nigh, 在审判临近的时候，
the sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一种伤感--
these things shall never die.这些美好不会消逝。
let nothing pafor every hand 在人间传递温情
must find some work to do ; 尽你所能地去做;
lose not a chance to waken love- 别错失去了唤醒爱的良机-----
be firm,and just ,and true; 为人要坚定，正直，忠诚;
so shall a light that cannot fade 因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒
beam on thee from on high.就不会消失。
and angel voices say to thee---你将听到天使的声音在说-----
these things shall never die.这些美好不会消逝。
4、青年 youth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshne; it is the freshneof the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease.this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 .nobody grows old merely by a number of years .we grow old by deserting our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul .worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living .in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wirelestation : so long as it receives meages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courag
5、中国人 am chinese
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
i am chinese.i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind.i\'ve learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers.i\'ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river.i\'ve learned about zhang heng(张衡)and i\'ve learned about zheng he(郑和).who says the yellow river civilization has vanished(消失)?i know that my ancestors have made miracles(奇迹)on this fertile land and we\'re still ma-ki-ng miracles.who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have succefully sent our satellites into space, and that our gnp ranks no.7 in the world? we have experienced the plunders (掠夺) by other nations, and we have experienced the war.yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----china, unyielding and unconquerable!
i once came acroan american tourist.she said, “china has a history of five thousand years, but the us only has a history of 200 years.five thousand years ago, china took the lead in the world, and now it is the us that is leading.”my heart was deeply touched by these words.it is true that we\'re still a developing nation, but it doesn\'t mean that we can despise (鄙视) ourselves.we have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of.we have reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition (雄心) is even bigger, our challenges (挑战) are great, but our will is evengreater.
i am chinese.i have inherited (继承) black hair and blackeyes.i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors.i have also taken over responsibility.i am sure, that wherever i go, whatever i do, i shall never forget that i am chinese!
thank you.
