中秋節演講稿英文版
when the mid-autumn festival is near, shop windows are beautifully decorated. many "moon cakes" are displayed for people to buy. people send presents such aswine, fruits and "moon cakes" to their friends and relatives
The mid-autumn festival has all interesting history. long ago in one of the dynasties of china there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not manage the country well. the people were so angry that some brave ones suggested killing the king. so they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes. on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the cakes. when they ate them they discovered the notes. so they gathered together to make a sudden attack on the king. from then on the chinese people celebrate on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat "moon cakes" in memory of that important event.
when the mid-autumn festival is near, shop windows are beautifully decorated. many "moon cakes" are displayed for people to buy. people send presents such aswine, fruits and "moon cakes" to their friends and relatives. in the evening of the day, they have a feast. after the feast, they go out to the garden to look at the moon. the children run and laugh on the streets.
it is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. many poems have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing such poems. in chinese literature, the moon of the mid autumn festival has been compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. it seems that chinese literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.
中秋節演講稿英文版
Maybe I seem less mature or experiences than my most colleagues. But I still believe age is not important. Compared with age, passion energy and confidence are more significant!
Admittedly, life has its ups and downs, its peaks and valleys. So I encountered certain difficulties in the work. However, I strongly believe the best way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal. Direction means objectives. The right direction is like a lamp. This lamp can guide you in darkness and help you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
I never fear difficulties or failures. Because I believe success is going from failure to failure without losing passion. In fact, the ultimate failure is not trying, for it means you can never make progress toward your goals. As long as you keep trying and go ahead toward your direction, you will succeed and have a bright future. Just remember never give up or lose hope because nothing is too easy. Rainy days will end and the sky will be beautiful again.
In short, everyone should have a direction and keep this direction, no matter what difficulties he or she will encounter.
Finally, I want to take this opportunity to wish you all good health and success in your career.
And you know it is a specially day, which is the Mid-autumn Festival, so I wish you all and your family a happy Mid-autumn Festival.
Thanks so much! That is all!

Me and my Fears
Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.
About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.
While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails,but one who never quits.”
I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!
英文演講稿范文Eating Yuanxiao
吃元宵
Yuanxiao is the special food for the Lantern Festival. It is believed that Yuanxiao is named after a palace maid, Yuanxiao, of Emperor Wu Di of the Han Dynasty. Yuanxiao is a kind of sweet dumpling, which is made with sticky rice flour filled with sweet stuffing. And the Festival is named after the famous dumpling. It is very easy to cook - simply dump them in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes - and eaten as a dessert.
元宵是元宵節的特色食品。據說,元宵是因漢武帝時期的一位名叫元宵的宮女而得名。元宵是一種帶餡兒的甜食,是由糯米粉加上甜的餡料制成。元宵節就是因此食品得名。元宵的烹制方法非常簡單,將元宵倒入裝滿沸水的鍋中煮幾分鐘就可以了。
Guessing lantern riddles
猜燈謎
"Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival. Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.
猜燈謎也是元宵節活動的一個基本組成部分。燈籠的所有者將謎語寫在一張紙條上,然后將紙條展示在燈籠上。如果賞燈者猜出謎語,就將紙條取出,然后找燈籠所有者確認答案。打對的話,他們就可以領取一份小禮品。這個活動起源于宋朝(960——1279)。猜燈謎活動極富情趣和智慧,因此在全社會廣受歡迎。
Watch fireworks
看煙火
In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.
元宵節的白天會有舞龍舞獅、劃旱船、扭秧歌、踩高蹺。而在晚上,除了各種大型燈會,燦爛的焰火也是一幅美麗的畫卷。很多家庭在春節時會留下一部分煙花等著元宵節放。有的地方政府甚至會組織焰火晚會。當新年的第一輪圓月升上夜空時,人們都會因燃放的煙火和空中的明月而興奮。
英文介紹The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.
According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.
History
Until the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century, Emperor Yangdi invited envoys from other countries to China to see the colorful lighted lanterns and enjoy the gala(節日的,慶祝的)performances.
By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century, the lantern displays would last three days. The emperor also lifted the curfew(宵禁令), allowing the people to enjoy the festive lanterns day and night. It is not difficult to find Chinese poems which describe this happy scene.
英語作文Lantern Festival is a China’s traditional festival. It is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year.

If we can speak English well,we will have more chance to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...

正如每個人所知,英語在今天十分重要。它已經被應用到世界的各個角落。它已經成為商業上最為通用的一門語言并廣泛的用于國際貿易。如果我們能說好英語,我們就有更多的機會成功。因為越來越多的人注意到這一點,學英語的人數正在已很高的速度增長。
但是對我而言,我學英語不僅僅因為它的重要性以及它的實用性,更是因為我喜愛英語。當我學英語時,我可以體會到一種不同的思維方式,它可以給我更多接觸世界的空間。當我讀英語小說時,我能感受到不同于閱讀翻譯文的快樂。當我說英語時,我可以感到自信。當我寫英語時,我能夠感到不同于漢語的那種美……
我愛英語,它給了我一個色彩斑斕的夢。我希望有朝一日我可以暢游世界,用我流利的英語,我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到許多的名勝。我希望我能夠到倫敦去,因為那里是英語的故鄉。
我也希望用我流利的英語來將我們的名勝介紹給說英語的朋友,我希望他們可以像我們一樣的愛我們的國家。
我知道,羅馬不是一天筑成的。(成功需要日積月累。)我相信在持續不斷的努力學習下,總有一天我可以擁有一口流利的英語。
如果你想被愛,你就應該學著去愛他人。所以我相信我對英語的愛定將換來它對我的愛。
All the celebrations welcoming the new century were hold in the year 2000,because life without a greeting is like the sky without the sun.Greetings are very important for the whole world,in my opinion.
But I dont know whether greetings are enough for us.Especially when we meet with failures .I remember quite clearly that when I was a child,if I fall down and was on the brink of crying,my father always told mePlease stand up from where you fall down!
Yes,we must stand up from where we fall down.
That was a special mid night in 1993.Expectations filled our hearts.
We stared at the TV,hoping excitedly as the voice would fly to our ears.
But at last,each Chinese who loves our motherland was distressed to know the result:Beijing ,lost to Sydeny by a margin of two votes in the Olympic hosting competition.
Eight years have past,but the frustration has not healed with time at all.
Now,at the begining of the new millennium,all of the pride and disappointment of the 20th century had gone with the wind. The 21st century,which is full of hope,longing znd thought has come. Someone said,we would start from zero on.
Should I really start from zero on?
No!I hold that we should go on with our efferts and ambitions stayed by last century,and make our life better.
New Beijing,Great Olympics! The voice cries this out around Chinas captital,a 3,000 -year-old city these days.
Beijing,along with Paris,Istanbul,Osake and Toronto,英語演講稿 has been shortlisted by the International Olympic Committee as an official candidate city for the 2008 Olympic Games.
This is Beijings second attempt to host the games.
Everyone fully supports Beijings bid for it.
Maybe,we can paint fences along the main roads of Beijing.
Maybe,we can make much of yhe city cleaned up.
Maybe,we can learn and speak basic English idioms and expressions for daily communication.
But,but are they just enough?
Facing the new century,mankind is driven by the revolution of science and technoiogy,world economy is undergoing broud and profound changes. But nobody can deny the fact that compared with developed nations,developing countries are confronted with more pressure and challenges.In order to become famous in the world,we must speed up our international economic restructuring to catch up with industrialized nations.
Supporting Beijings bid is a systematic project that can support Chinasdevelopment efforts.
I believe recycled pa-pe-r,clean fuel,sorted rubbish,water-saving and enery-efficient facilities will become reality in the coming years for China.
I believe the new century is an era of learning ans teaching,and lifelong education has become one of the main trends in the future developmet of Chinese society.
I believe that,on July 13,our dream of Beijings Olympic bid will become true.
Because to millions of Chinese,for China to have the gloal respect and support that she deserves is not just a dream.
It is a part of our very souls.For we are not only equal members of our motherland, China,but we are also equal contributors to the world as a whole. Let us stand together,all nations in Beijing,in brotherhood,friendship and peace, in 2008 and forever!

英語演講稿:如何減肥
How to Lose Weight
It seems that many people today are overweight. No one wants to carry around extra pounds, lout few people know how to slum down effectively. They look for miracle pills and magic cures.

Finally, she followed her doctors advice and began to eat a si-mp-le, well-balanced diet. She ate lots of fruits and vegetables and avoided high-fat foods. In addition, she joined an exercise class. She worked out three times a week. At first, my aunt wasnt happy because the weight came off so slowly. But her classmates encouraged her to stick to it and eventually she reached her goal.

哈佛校長的演講]Good bye and good luck
Today, I speak from this podium a final time as your president. As I depart, I want to thank all of you - students, faculty, alumni and staff - with whom I have been privileged to work over these past years. Some of us have had our disagreements, but I know that which unites us transcends that which pides us.
今天,我將以校長的身份,最后一次在這個講臺上演講.即將離任前,我要感謝諸位學生、教師、校友和員工,而且非常榮幸在過去的5年里能與你們共事.我們中的一些人意見不盡相同, 但是,我知道,我們的共識遠遠超越分歧.
Some things look different to me than they did five years ago. The world that today’s Harvard’s graduates are entering is a profoundly different one than the world administrators entered.
在我看來,現在于5年前不同了.今天的哈佛畢業生正在進入的世界和管理人員當年所進入的世界相比已是大相徑庭了.
It is a world where opportunities have never been greater for those who know how to teach children to read, or those who know how to distribute financial risk; never greater for those who understand the cell and the pixel; never greater for those who can master, and navigate between, legal codes, faith traditions, computer platforms, political viewpoints.
現今世界,機遇對于這些人來說是空前的:他們知道如何教子女閱讀;他們知道如何組合投資;他們懂得【計算機科學】 基本存儲單元和像素概念;他們能掌握各種法典、傳統信仰、計算機平臺、政治觀點并在其中游刃有余.
It is also a world where some are left further and further behind - those who are not educated, those trapped in poverty and violence, those for whom equal opportunity is just a hollow phrase.
同時,現今世界,一些人越來越落后于時代.這些人沒受過教育、深陷于貧窮和暴-力、平等機遇對他們而言,僅是一句空話.
Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life.
科技進步正在使我們能夠探索宇宙的邊陲、物質最基本的成分及生命的奇跡.
At the same time, today, the actions, and inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet.
與此同時,今天,人類所做的及沒能做到的事情,不僅危害到這個星球上的生命,也危害到該星球的壽命.
Globalization is ma-ki-ng the world smaller, faster and richer. Still, 9/11, avian flu, and Iran remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world.
全球化正在使地球變得愈來愈孝愈來愈快和愈來愈富有.盡管如此,9/11、禽流感及伊朗提醒我們,更小更快的世界決不意味著其更安全.
Our world is bursting with knowledge - but desperately in need of wisdom. Now, 英語故事演講稿 when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd out essays, and when inpidual lives grow more frenzied, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs.
我們正處于一個知識爆炸的世界之中,不過,迫切需要智慧.現在,在(新聞采訪的)原聲摘要播出變得愈來愈短,即時信息淘汰了雜記文,個人生活變得如癡如狂之際,這個世界還是需要能夠深思的大學生.
For all these reasons I believed - and I believe even more strongly today - in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities.
考慮到這些理由,我過去信仰,而今天甚至更加強烈地信仰大學獨特的、無可取代的使命.
Universities are where the wisdom we cannot afford to lose is preserved from generation to generation. Among all human institutions, universities can look beyond present norms to future possibilities, can look through current considerations to emergent opportunities.
大學是人類把不可或缺的智慧世代流傳的殿堂.就人類所有公共機構而言,僅僅大學,能夠超越當前的準則,注意到未來的可能性;能通過目前的判斷,注意到突發的機遇.
And among universities, Harvard stands out. With its great tradition, its iconic reputation, its remarkable network of 300,000 alumni, Harvard has never had as much potential as it does now.
哈佛在大學中間,鶴立雞群.憑其偉大的傳統、因襲聲譽及其非凡的300000校友網,哈佛的潛力前所未有.
And yet, great and proud institutions, like great and proud nations at their peak, must surmount a very real risk: that the very strength of their traditions will lead to caution, to an inward focus on prerogative and to a complacency that lets the world pathem by.
可是,就像偉大和自豪的國家在其鼎盛時期一樣,它們必須克服一個完全不能掉以輕心的危險因素:它們傳統的絕對強勢將會導致謹小慎微、追求內部特權及自滿,這將使它們不能與時俱進.
First of all, I’d like to talk about the importance of speaking good English and share my experience in learning English with you. As you know, English has become an international language. Wherever you go, English is always commonly used. It is convenient to know the language. At the same time, English may be the most important factor in deciding which countries are leaders in the future. The language of the most advanced management and technology is undoubtedly English. Being able to absorb this information is really the key to the new century. In the 21century. We can’t go there and speak our own language because nobody is going to learn it in order to understand us. Our Asian rival, India, has surged ahead of other developing countries in information technology because of its superior English skills. Unlewe are able to master English, we will not be able to get our population to use IT and take advantage of the new economy. There is an urgent need to have a workforce which is proficient in the language in view of the information technology onslaught.
Second, about learning English, I think laying a strong foundation is the first and most important step. In other words, you should read and speak English every day. Memorizing new words and phrases is also helpful. Of course, learning English takes some time, so don’t be impatient. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. And then since English is not our native tongue, we must develop the muscles of your speech organs to produce unfamiliar sounds. When you read, read as loudly as possible, as clearly as possible and as quickly as possible. Tongue muscles’ training is of importance in learning any foreign language.
Third, if you want to speak good English, please don’t care how poorly well you speak, only care about catching the chances to speak. You must enjoy losing face, just forget about your face. The more you speak, the better your English will become. The more mistakes you make, the more progreyou will make. You must enjoy speaking poor English, because speaking is the only thing that will lead you towards success. Don’t give up. Just try your best. Every time you move your mouth, your memory will deepen, your muscles will strengthen. You can make it.
I have made a considerable amounts of public English speaking in my life, I am often asked why the crazy English method is better than other methods or if the crazy English method will help all English learners. My answer is, the method will help the English learners because it is a perfect match with the Chinese principles of diligence, self-help and determination. Mere exposure to English will not enable you to speak English. If you want to drive you have to get in the car and drive, if you want to dance you have to turn on the music and dance, if you want to swim you have to jump in the water and swim. In fact, swimming is the perfect comparison to learning English. You can’t learn to swim by sitting in a room and reading books about swimming skills. In order to be a swimmer you’ve got to conquer you fear, you’ve got to survive and suck in water, yell for help, you’ve got to lose face many times before you can make it. But, to be a good swimmer you’ve got to practice again and again. To be a great swimmer you have to practice for years until you can harmonize every part of your body and mind.
