英語演講稿——女人不能老Women Cannot afford to Grow Old

middle-age is a crucial period and middle-aged women are facing even more dangers. youth is still lingering on there, but it cant stand any carelessness or negligence. staying youth can be likened to climbing a steep hill, while negligence will lead to decrepitude overnight. those who feed on their youth will have to opt otherwise at this stage.

this is a time full of temptations, alluring girls and glamourous women pop up everywhere, making the discomposed men confused and disoriented, leaving behind more and more broken-up families and abandoned wives, thereby leading the middle-aged to the heartfelt realization that women cannot afford to grow old.

beauty parlors are being opened one after another and the cosmetics market is getting more and more prosperous in order to keep the youthful face of women forever fresh.. proper facial care, hair-dressing or aerobics are all necessary for women, but they are only superficial and can not last long. they can in no way do the cosmetic make-ups round-the-clock.. what will become of them after removing the cosmetics from their face?

women need to refine their mind and to make themselves more intellectually prepared 。 they need the sense of security too. we may well say that mens youth lies in their career while womens youth relies on their state of mind and cultivation because of the rise of yin and the decline of yang, we can see many capable women devising and calculating with all their might. they used to be very beautiful, and are now still charming, but they are middle-aged after all. how long can they still preserve their diminishing youth?

what are those women after? money? but will they be happy if they have to count the money with their skinny shriveled hands after they have successfully become wealthy old ladies?

maybe they are seeking for spacious houses and limousines. but these are just tools to serve us, just like a motorcycle is for us to ride on, not for us to carry on our shoulders. is it still worth the price if their pursuit has become a burden or a pressure that calls for the sacrifice of their youth?

or maybe they need the money for their children to study abroad. but studying abroad is not the ambition of everyone. as we always say that children have their own luck, we shouldnt choose the same way for them to grow up. doing business or going in for politics, working at civilian posts or as military officials are different choices for different children. some even want to become chess players and it is such a wonderful career that after becoming successful, they can make playing chess a rewarding profession.. why should we try our best to send our children abroad where there are so many uncertainties? whats the point of the sacrifice of our precious youth to send our children to somewhere that may be heaven, or hell?
