有關創新的英語演講稿 篇1
創新，一個我們耳熟能詳的詞。尤其是這樣一個飛速發展的時代，這個詞時時撞擊我們的耳膜。但是，創新，其豐富的內涵，卻是許多人盡其一生孜孜以求，也未必可以充分了解的。
朋友，你認識創新嗎?
創新其實是一個夢想。
中國古代曾有一個人，背負紙做的翅膀，義無反顧地縱身跳下高高的山崖，希冀像鳥兒一樣飛翔在晴空。在粉身碎骨跳下的一瞬間，他是否隱約看到了碧空中可以自由翱翔的飛機?
英國有一位作家，在他一生的作品中，盡情幻想，將熱氣球、潛水艇、電報提前了幾十、甚至幾百年帶入我們的生活。在凡爾納下筆的一剎那，他是否已經預先看到了遙遠的未來?
夢想標示著豐富的想像力，想像力為創新提供源泉。創新從夢想中蛻變，以夢想為根，受夢想澆灌。像永不失天真的愛因斯坦吹出的肥皂泡，在空冥的大地上，不斷破滅又不斷上升。
創新需要懷疑與批判。
懷疑是創新的萌芽，批判是創新的成長。在懷疑中發現錯誤，在批判中改正錯誤，創新才能完成。然而懷疑的精神、批判的勇氣，人們為之付出了太多太多。
1543年的春天，人們震驚了，一個人，他居然宣稱地球是圍繞太陽轉的。上帝啊!讓這個人不得好死。人們肆意地嘲笑，詛咒。
終於，詛咒靈驗了，六十七年後的一天，在美麗的羅馬鮮花廣場，那個虔誠地捍衛並發展了太陽中心學說的布魯諾被高高地綁在十字架上。一個火把投向他，燒焦的肉體發出一陣陣異味。死亡的氣息在遊蕩。突然，一個聲音從那扭曲的身軀中迸發出來：“火併不能把我征服，未來的世界會了解我，知道我的價值。”
是的，火併沒有征服他，那憤怒的火焰，那毀滅的火焰，只能把掛在偽真理臉上的面具燒焦。瀰漫在鮮花廣場的灰燼不願散去，它要告訴我們：創新，踏著用生命證明了的懷疑與批判，終究會打破傳統的桎梏，得到永生。
創新要求深刻。
我們都知道，阿基米德在洗澡時發現了浮力定律，成就了科學史上的一段美談。可是我們是否還記得曹沖稱象的故事?那可愛的孩子也不自覺地運用著浮力定律。然而，後者只被當成一個睡前故事流傳於孩子們的枕邊，前者卻孕育了物理學的一個基本原理。
有時候，創新並不是很難，說不準什麼時候，一個思想的火花閃過，創新就來到眼前。可火花不能長久，創新卻要求永恆。於是創新要求深刻的思考，追求本質的東西，要求我們更進一步地去挖掘它具有的創新意識。
然而挖掘不是最難，最難的是那意識的產生。你一定游過泳，一定玩過水，你一定感受到過水的壓力，但你能說，你可以造出浮力定律嗎?甚至你敢說，會想到用水來稱象嗎?恐怕不敢吧?生活中許多事情就是這樣，在你經歷時，就已觸摸到創新的邊緣了，然而我們卻沒有那個觀念，有意識地將創新完成。
作為大學生，我們的知識仍然貧乏，也許我們不能有多少偉大的具體的創新。但是我們一定要培養我們的創新意識。這意識中包含著許多內容。首先，我們要學會夢想，學會不為現實堵塞我們的天真，不時地做一做童年的夢，想一想飛上火星的浪漫，想一想生活於外太空的美妙。不要只盯著別墅、跑車，做物質的奴隸。然後，讓我們學會懷疑與批判。不要嚇倒在老師那威嚴的面孔下，不要認為凡是印成了鉛字的東西就是真理。昆德拉說：“人類一思考，上帝就發笑。”相信自己，堅持懷疑，敢於批判，不懼權威，方顯英雄本色。再次，讓我們深沉一下，穩重一點，不妨壓抑一下青春的律動，多思考一些東西，多研究一些學問，不要有了一個奇特的創意，一個未聞的發現就妄自高興，而到實踐時卻束手無策。最後也是最重要的，就是要培養自己的創新意識，尤其是對專業中新事物的敏感度。倫琴因為一張被感光了的底片，意識到X射線的存在，最終獲得第一屆諾貝爾獎，牛頓因為一隻落下的蘋果而發現萬有引力。他們對於專業的敏銳，是我們在學習中真正要掌握到手的知識。
認識創新。“認”是一個認知，明白其表象的過程;而“識”是一個理解，探索其本質含義的過程。認識創新，我們不僅僅要“認”，更重要的是要“識”。
Innovation, one we are familiar with the word .In particular, this is an era of
rapid development , the word always hit our eardrums . However , innovation and its rich connotation, is that many people do their assiduous life , it may not be able to fully understand.Friend , do you know innovation ?
Innovation is actually a dream.
Ancient China had a man ,burdened wings made of paper , hesitate to jump as high cliff , hoping to fly like a bird in the clear sky . Jumped in pieces at the moment whether
he could vaguely see the blue sky in the freedom of flying airplanes?
Britain has a writer, works in his lifetime , enjoy fantasy, the hot air balloon , submarine ,telegraph ahead of dozens , or even hundreds of years into our lives.
Verne pen down at the moment ,whether he had previously seen the distant future ? Dreams marked rich imagination , imagination as a source of innovation . Innovative transformation from dream to dream is the root, watered by the dream . Einstein never lost innocence like blowing soap bubbles in the air offerings of the earth,constantly shattered and constantly rising .
Innovation requires suspicion and criticism .Suspected to be the seeds of innovation , critical innovation growth. Errors found in doubt , correct the error in the criticism , innovation to complete.
However, skepticism , criticism of courage, people pay the price too much. The spring of 1543 , people shocked , a person, he actually claimed that the earth revolves around the sun .
God, ah ! Let this person Budehaosi . People wanton laugh ,curse.Finally ,the curse come true , the day after 1978 , in the beautiful Rome Campo de 'Fiori, the religiously defended and developed the center of the sun is high in the doctrine of Bruno tied to the cross. A torch toward him, and sent waves smell of burnt flesh . The smell of death in the wandering . Suddenly, a voice from that distorted body burst out : "Fire does not make me conquer the future of the world will know me , and know my worth ."
Yes, the fights did not conquer
him, and that the flames of anger , and that the destruction of the flame , only
to hang in the pseudo- truth face mask burning. Filled in the
Campo de 'Fiori reluctant to disperse the ashes , it has to tell us: innovation
, marching with his life proved suspicion and criticism , will eventually break
the traditional shackles and have eternal life.
Innovation requires profound .
We all know that in the bath
Archimedes discovered the law of buoyancy , the achievements of science in the
history of a brother's wife. But we still
remember Cao Chong said the elephant story ? Lovely children do not consciously use the law of
buoyancy . However, the latter only as a
bedtime story being circulated in the children's pillow , the former has given
birth to one of the basic principles of physics .
Sometimes, innovation is not
difficult , can not say what time the spark of an idea flashed , innovation came
to hand. Sparks can not last long , but
innovation requires eternity. So innovation requires deep
thinking , the pursuit of the essence of things, require us to dig further it
has a sense of innovation .
However, mining is not the most difficult , the most difficult is that conscious generation. You must swam , played some water, you will feel the pressure over the water , but you can say that you can create buoyancy do ? Even if you say , think of water as it came to be called ? I'm afraid not , right ? Is so many things in life , in your experiences, had to touch the edge of innovation , yet we do not have that concept , consciously innovative complete.
As college students, our knowledge is still poor , maybe we can not have a great number of specific innovations.
But we must nurture our sense of innovation . It contains many elements of consciousness .
First, we must learn to dream , learn not reality clogging our innocence, from time to time to make a childhood dream to do , think about Mars fly romantic , think about the beauty of living in outer space . Do not just stare at the villa , sports car, doing physical slaves. Then, let us learn to doubt and criticism . Do not intimidated by the teacher that majestic face , do not think that all printed in lead type stuff is the truth. Kundera said: " a thinking human beings , God laughs ." Believe in yourself, doubts persist , the courage to criticize , fear of authority , the hero character . Again,let us look deep , steady light, it may look youthful rhythm depressed ,thinking something more to study some knowledge , do not have a strange idea, anunheard of discovery to pretend happy, but to practice Shique helpless. Finally, and most important , is to develop their own sense of innovation, especially for professionals in the sensitivity of new things . Roentgen because one is a photographic negatives and realized the existence of X-rays , and ultimately won the first Nobel Prize , Newton as a falling apple and discovered gravity . They professional
acumen is that we really want to master in learning hand knowledge.Recognizing innovation . "Recognize " is a perception,understand the process of representation ; and " knowledge" is an understanding of the process of exploring its essential meaning . Recognizing innovation, we not only want to"recognize ", but it is important to " know ."

夢--一個改變世界的詞
大家好!我很榮幸能在這裡和大家分享我的想法，今天我將談論一個關於夢想的東西--一個改變世界的詞。
“你認為什麼是真正改變了我們世界的這個詞呢”
當我被問到這個問題的時候，沒有想太多，一個字閃進我的腦海——夢，d-r-e-a-m.people或多或少的夢想不同的東西，是一個教師，醫生，科學家，商人等等。所有這些人的夢想都應該得到尊重，因為夢想讓世界運轉。我們增長我們的夢想偉大，所有的偉人都是在青年時期偉大的夢想家。每個人都有夢想，一切都開始作為一個的白日夢。
路德金做了一個夢，他希望給黑人和白人能和諧共處等。說他，他這樣的教育，他深受啟發，他通知不只是那裡的人們，但全美國的人和未出生的後代，他推動了美國黑人社會的步伐走向種族平等。
愛迪生托馬斯做了一個夢，他夢見一個能用電來供電的電燈，他開始在那裡站著把自己的夢想付諸行動，儘管有一萬多個失敗，他站在那一個夢中，直到他成為現實!今天，他的夢想照亮了世界。
沃爾特迪士尼有一個夢想，這一點，在它本身並不尋常，他一直在做夢，他夢想製作第一部動畫電影，並建設一個娛樂公園，父母可以享受與他們的孩子。
約翰甘迺迪做了一個夢，他想把人送上月球並返回他安全返回地球，恢復美國的生活方式的信念。約翰甘迺迪授權他的夢想，8年後尼爾阿姆斯壯踏上月球的臉。登月的確給了美國人的新發現的信心。
夢---一個改變世界的話是的，我會這樣說，是不是你
青春是一個特殊的生命接力站，隨著煩惱的成長，生活的感覺變得與夢的幸福感，在這裡收集了一個獨特的青春旋律。
我們決定，我們選擇，並且當我們決定和選擇，我們的生活也在我們的生活中，最終形成我們自己的命運是什麼樣的野心是什麼，最重要的是，你是你選擇的那個人。
我們的生活，我們的日子，我們的生活，很容易浪費我們的生命，很容易生存，所以堅持你的夢想，因為如果夢想死亡，生命是一隻折斷翅膀的鳥兒，不能飛翔。

Alibaba Group founder Ma Yun said: "if you do not take action, don't give your dreams a chance to practice, you will never have a chance." Friends, light innovation passion and dreams, just to let you see the door to success, only you have the courage to pay hard, for the dream of unremitting efforts, it can be stepped into the threshold of success. Ma Yun's success is a good illustration of this point. In 1995, Ma decided to resign from the university teaching work, the formation of the Internet Chinese. At that time, the Internet for the United States and other developed countries is just beginning, even even bill gates are opposed to the Internet, in China, not to mention the, the vast majority of people don't know what it is. So, when he called twenty-four friends to vote on the matter, there are twenty-three people opposed that the Internet simply can not achieve this thing. He finds the Internet will change the human life, believe that their ideal will be realized, resolutely embarked on the path of entrepreneurship. But no money, no difficulties as can be imagined, even human, he was mocked as a liar.
I believe many friends present here today have seen the program "Yu Dan Zhuangzi experience", which has a story that I am inspired by, say, Keiko ah, one day to see Zhuang Zi, saying my house has a large gourd, there are five stone. If you put it into two halves, when to scoop water, the gourd skin is too thin, it is broken up in one fell swoop. It doesn't have anything to do with it. It's a big thing. Chuang-tzu said to him, how do you think it must split when the scoop? If it is a complete big gourd, why don't you put it on his waist line, as swimming ring with it? You can go swimming in the river, with a large gourd free to drift this! A story inspires us, in real life, the state determines the judgment of things, it can completely change the fate of a person, we should stand in a large state, know how to change an angle to think, think about whether we can change the way the way of getting along with people, think about whether our method of work can be improved. We think the skills would further improve. Friends, a person to be successful, first of all to have a sense of innovation, as long as you have the dream of innovation and passion, the success of the door is always open for you, life will be more wonderful!
The Asian Wall Street Journal Editor in chief, has described Ma entrepreneurs in their early work environment, "day and night work, to have a sleeping bag, who tired drill into sleep for a while." However, advocating martial spirit of Ma with extraordinary courage and perseverance, with his sword through the clutter and opened a through the broad road to the top of the success and ultimately swordsman, become a "peerless master", and describe the business of a myth! Everyone want to make your life more exciting, often troubled and confused, but as long as have the passion and dreams, persistent innovation, a door for you open - that is, the door to success!
Finally gave everyone a poetic couplet: innovation, career, do not cause; innovation, defeat, also defeated the unbeaten. Hengpi: innovation decides success or failure!

沒有想像力就沒有創造力
NO IMAGINATION, NO CREATIVITY
Dear teachers and students：
Good morning / afternoon / evening! My name is Liu zi yuan. The title of my speech is the relationship between creativity and imagination.
尊敬的老師、同學們大家早上/下午/晚上好!我叫劉子源。我演講的題目是創造力和想像力之間的關係。
There is no creativity without imagination. With the development of the society, creativity becomes more and more important. People could not satisfy with ordinary life. So we need creativity to meet their requirements. We can see significance of the creativity from an example. The smart phone—iphone spread all over the world. That was the creativity of The Apple Inc. It is obvious that it will produce a bigger profit than common manufacturing. But, hao can we acquire creativity?
沒有想像力就沒有創造力。隨著社會的發展，創造力變得越來越重要。人們已經不能滿足於日常生活。所以我們需要不斷的創新來滿足他們的需求。通過一個例子我們可以知道創造力的意義。蘋果智慧型手機的使用遍及全世界。這就是蘋果公司的創新。很顯然，這項創新產生了巨大的利潤比起普通的製造業。但是我們怎樣才能獲得創造力?
I think the creativity roots in imagination. Albert Einstein said that imagination is important than knowledge. Because we should creative a thing that is never appeared, we need to image. Use all the things and information around us to think and then go to achieve it. Without the imagination of the Wright brothers , human could not complete the flying dreams. Without the imagination of the Alexander Graham Bell, we could not hear the voice from a distance. If the creativity can make the human progress, imagination will be the road to success. Where the imagination come from? Knowledge ? Experience ? practice? I consider that all of them are indispensable. It is often said that knowledge is power. So we should empower ourselves with knowledge. After that we need to obtain experience form. practice. These are the basis, and we must strengthen them to extend our imagination.
我認為創造力紮根於想像力。愛因斯坦曾經說過，想像力遠遠比知識更重要。因為我們要創造一個事物，以前從沒有出現過的，因此我們需要想像。利用我們周圍所有的事物以及信息去想像，然後去完成它。 沒有萊特兄弟的想像力，人類就不能實現飛天的夢想;沒有貝爾的想像力，我們就不能聽到來自遠方的聲音。如果說創造力可以使人進步，那么想像力就是通向成功的道路。想像力來自哪裡?知識?經驗?還是實踐?我覺得所有這些都是必不可少的。俗語有云：知識就是力量。所以我們首先應該用知識武裝自己，然後我們需要從實踐中獲得經驗。這些都是基礎，我們必須用它們來擴展我們的思維。
As contemporary college students, we must shoulder the responsibility of the future of our motherland. What we need is not only the knowledge of the past, but also is the innovation of a new field. Our thought can not be bound by the old things. We should understand that an excellent nation is always full of creativity. So we must promote our imagination. There is no creativity without imagination. That’s all, thank you!
作為一個當代的大學生，我們需要肩負起祖國的未來。我不僅需要舊的知識，而且更要創新新的知識領域。我們的思想不能被舊知識所束縛。我們應該知道，一個優秀的民族永遠是一個具有創新性的民族，所以我們必須提升我們的想像力。因為沒有想像力就沒有創造力。 演講完畢，謝謝大家!

阿里巴巴集團的創始人馬雲說過這樣一句話：“如果不去採取行動，不給自己的夢想一個實踐的機會，你永遠沒有機會。”朋友們，光有創新的激情和夢想，只是讓你看到了成功的大門，只有你拿出勇氣、付出艱辛，為夢想堅持不懈的努力，那才能跨進成功的門檻。馬雲的成功很好的說明了這一點。1995年，馬雲決定辭去大學教書的工作，組建中國的網際網路。在當時，網際網路對於美國等已開發國家來說也是剛剛起步，甚至連比爾蓋茨都反對網際網路，在中國更不用說了，絕大多數的人根本不知道它是個什麼東西。所以，當他召集了二十四個朋友就此事進行表決的時候，有二十三個人反對，認為網際網路這東西根本實現不了。他卻認定網際網路將改變人類生活的方方面面，堅信自己的理想一定能夠實現，毅然決然的走上了創業之路。但困難可想而知，沒有資金，沒有人力，他甚至被人譏笑為騙子。
我相信在座的很多朋友都看過 “于丹《莊子》心得”這個節目，其中有個故事讓我很受啟發，說的是，惠子啊，有一天去見莊子，說我家有一個大葫蘆，有五石之大。要是把它一劈兩半，當瓢去盛水的話，這個葫蘆皮太薄，往上一舉它就碎了。反正用它盛什麼東西都不行，這葫蘆大得沒什麼用處。莊子告訴他說，你怎么就認為它非要劈開當瓢使呢?如果它是一個完整的大葫蘆，你為什麼不把它系在腰間，用它當做游泳圈呢?你可以去浮游於江海啊，帶著一個大葫蘆自由自在的去漂泊!這個故事啟發我們，在現實生活中，境界的大小決定了對事物的判斷，也可以完全改變一個人的命運，我們要站在大境界上，懂得換一個角度去思考問題，想想我們待人接物的方式是否可以改變，想想我們的工作方法是否能夠改進，想想我們所掌握的技能是否還可能再提高。朋友們，一個人要想成功，首先要有創新的意識，只要你擁有創新的夢想和激情，成功之門就始終為你敞開著，生命一定會更加精彩!
《亞洲華爾街日報》總編曾這樣描述馬雲他們創業初期的工作環境，“沒日沒夜地工作，地上有一個睡袋，誰累了就鑽進去睡一會兒。”但是，崇尚武俠精神的馬雲具有非凡的勇氣和毅力，用他手中的利劍披荊斬棘，開闢出了一條通過成功之巔的康莊大道，最終笑傲江湖，成為一位“絕世高手”，抒寫了商界的一段神話!每個人都想讓自己的生命更加精彩，卻常常陷入困境和迷茫，但只要擁有激情和夢想，堅持不懈的創新，總有一扇門為你打開著——那就是成功之門!
最後送給大家一副對聯：有創新，事業成，不成也成;沒創新，事業敗，不敗也敗。橫批：創新決定成敗!

What we cannot afford to lose
We cannot lose innovation
There is a wonderful word which expresses the most original motions and desires among human-beings. With solving any kind of imperfections, our world has moved ahead. This is the word “innovation” that we cannot afford to lose.
We chicaned every detail of the innovation. Thousands years before, we created fire when we took a stone to knock another one. Since Han Dynasty, four great inventions had been created and it is one of the greatest signs that China become to the ancient civilized country. And nowadays, thousands of software, products, architectures and public facilities have upgraded more than that about 100 years ago. So how did these happen? What will you do if you are not satisfied with your tools anymore? What will you do if old mode cannot afford to develop in a company? There is no doubt that we should innovate no matter where we are and what we do. Not because of the design itself, but actually for its intended purpose.
If there was no Apple, everyone could not imagine how to contact others easily and enjoy a better Internet surfing.
If there was no Microsoft, perhaps we still worked in a dim office and duplicate some troublesome documents. If there was no Newton, and no theory of gravity, maybe I will win the Nobel Prize like Newton rather than just standing here. I have heard that three apple changed the world. The first one seduced Eve. The second one awakened Newton. The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs. We sort of think the innovation of the world began with apple. I imagine lots of people want to become another Newton or Jobs right now with just one hand to change the world, right? Have the innovation to follow your heart. It somehow already reflects what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Via questioning, we can start to innovate. Via innovating, we can start to create better lives. No innovation, no improvement. No improvement, no success. And no success, no civilization. Now, our time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life! Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice! Don't let yourself down! It is the innovation that we cannot afford to lose!
我們不能失去的東西
我們不能失去創新
有一個美妙的詞，表達了人類最原始的運動和欲望。解決任何不完美的問題，我們的世界已經向前發展。這是“創新”這個詞，我們不能失去。
我們的每一個細節的創新詭計。幾千年前，我們用石頭打另一個火，我們生火。自漢代以來，四大發明創造出來，是中國古代文明的偉大標誌之一。而如今，數以千計的軟體、產品、建築和公共設施已經超過120xx年前的升級了。那么這些是怎么發生的呢?如果你不滿意你的工具，你會怎么做?如果老模式不能在一個公司中發展，你會做什麼?毫無疑問，無論我們在哪裡，我們做什麼，我們都要創新。不是因為設計本身，而是為了它的目的。
如果沒有蘋果，每個人都無法想像如何與其他人接觸，並享受一個更好的上網衝浪。
如果沒有微軟，也許我們在一個昏暗的辦公室工作，並重複一些麻煩的檔案。如果沒有牛頓，沒有理論的引力，也許我會贏得牛頓獎，像諾貝爾，而不是站在這裡。我聽說三個蘋果改變了世界。第一個誘惑了夏娃。二人喚醒了牛頓。第三個是在史蒂夫·賈伯斯的手中。我們認為世界上的創新始於蘋果。我想像有很多人想成為另一個牛頓或工作的權利，現在只需要一方面改變世界，對不對?有創新，跟隨你的心。它在某種程度上已經反映了你真正想要成為的。其他一切都是次要的。
通過質疑，我們可以開始創新。通過創新，我們可以開始創造更好的生活。沒有創新，沒有進步。沒有進步，沒有成功。沒有成功，沒有文明。現在，我們的時間是有限的，所以不要浪費時間去活別人的生活!不要讓別人的意見淹沒了你內心的聲音!別讓自己失望!這是我們不能失去的創新!

Good afternoon, everybody. I just want to say a few words about the landmark vote that the House of Representatives is poised to(隨時準備著) take today -- a vote that can bring us one step closer to making real the promise of quality, affordable(支付得起) health care for the American people.
For the better part of a year now, members of the House and the Senate have been working diligently(勤奮地) and constructively to craft legislation that will benefit millions of American families and millions of American businesses who urgently need it. For the first time ever, they've passed bills through every single committee responsible for reform. They've brought us closer than we have ever been to passing health insurance reform on behalf of the American people.
Now is the time to finish the job. The bill that the House has produced will provide stability and security for Americans who have insurance; quality, affordable options for those who don't; and lower costs for American families and American businesses. And as I've insisted from the beginning, it is a bill that is fully paid for and will actually reduce our long-term federal deficit(赤字，不足).
This bill is change that the American people urgently need. Don't just take my word for it. Consider the national groups who've come out in support of this bill on behalf of their members: The Consumers Union supports it because it will create -- and I quote -- "a more secure, affordable health care system for the American people."
The American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association support it on behalf of doctors and nurses and medical professionals who know firsthand what's broken in our current system, and who see what happens when their patients can't get the care they need because of insurance industry bureaucracies(官僚政治).
The National Farmers Union supports this bill because it will control costs for farmers and ranchers(牧場主), and address the unique challenges rural Americans face when it comes to receiving quality care.
And the AARP supports it because it will achieve the goal for which the AARP has been fighting for decades -- reducing the cost of health care, expanding coverage for America's seniors, and strengthening Medicare for the long haul.
Now, no bill can ever contain everything that everybody wants, or please every constituency(選區) and every district. That's an impossible task. But what is possible, what's in our grasp right now is the chance to prevent a future where every day 14,000 Americans continue to lose their health insurance, and every year 18,000 Americans die because they don't have it; a future where crushing costs keep small businesses from succeeding and big businesses from competing in the global economy; a future where countless dreams are deferred or scaled back because of a broken system we could have fixed when we had the chance.
What we can do right now is choose a better future and pass a bill that brings us to the very cusp(尖頭，尖端) of building what so many generations of Americans have sought to build -- a better health care system for this country.
Millions of Americans are watching right now. Their families and their businesses are counting on us. After all, this is why they sent us here, to finally confront the challenges that Washington had been putting off for decades -- to make their lives better, to leave this country stronger than we found it.
I just came from the Hill where I talked to the members of Congress there, and I reminded them that opportunities like this come around maybe once in a generation. Most public servants pass through their entire careers without a chance to make as important a difference in the lives of their constituents and the life of this country. This is their moment, this is our moment, to live up to the trust that the American people have placed in us -- even when it's hard; especially when it's hard. This is our moment to deliver.
I urge members of Congress to rise to this moment. Answer the call of history, and vote yes for health insurance reform for America.

Failure is common in our real life.It is somthing that inevitable toeveryone.But people's attitudes failure differ.
To those pessimists, failure is just like a mountain lies before them andprevent them from walking forward.when they face it,they give up easily.Only onefailure is enough to make them feel sad,lose their hearts.As a result,they won'ttry again.In other words,they have been beaten by the failure totally.However tothose optimists,the attitude is quite opposite.In their eyes,one failure doesn'tmean anything,for it's just an experience that unavoidable on their way to thesuccess.Knowing this,therefore,they will never complain od feel sad.What theywill do is to calm down and find out the causes of their failures,then analysethem in order to avoid making the same mistake.
In my view, of course,I tend to the second attitude.actually,failure is akind of required course in our life.It is not an end but a start for us as longas we make good use of it.Thus, don't give up and give in.Remember,failureitself is not fearful.What matters is your attitudes towardsit.and?fragile.They?will?lose?in?great?pain?even?suicide.?At?this?question?which?argument?is?reasonable,i?have?my?own?ideas.At?first,i?hate?failure.But?Gold?take?no?cares?and?we?always?be?a?loser?at?last.However,we?cannot?be?beat?by?the?failure,we?should?find?the?problem?solution?on?the?basic?of?failure?and?overcome?the?difficulty.?Only?in?this?way?can?the?failure?play?a?good?role.

Knowing the Consequences of Choice
Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Rightbefore I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channelswe had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows.Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what towatch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting"programme... If we
could agree what that was.
However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV,there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options revealsan important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, weselect from a wide variety of designs and shades.

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i?m very glad to stand here and giveyou a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , andfound the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions: 1、 do you know what is youth? 2、how do you master your youth?
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 freshnessit is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of theappetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we growold 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 ofwonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the gameof living . in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and powerfrom men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but aslong as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you maydie young at 80. that?s all ! thank you!

I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing for. Sometimes success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now I am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.
However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so. I believe success is the realization of people’s hopes and ideals. Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.
Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.
What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life!
Wish you all good success!

敬愛的老師、親愛的同學們：
大家好!今天我講話的題目是：與好書為友，以讀書為樂。
Dearleaders and school fellows, good morning, today my speech is "Be a friend ofgood books and enjoy reading"!
書是人類進步的階梯。生活里沒有書籍，就好像大地沒有陽光;智慧里沒有書籍，就好像鳥兒沒有翅膀。讀書是成長的基石，讀書是精彩人生的開始。古今中外眾多志士偉人都是勤奮讀書的楷模。
Books are the ladders of human progress. A life without a book is likethe earth without sunshine. Reading is the foundation of our growth, reading isthe beginning of a wonderful life. Many great men in history are our rolemodels .
周恩來為中華崛起而讀書。毛澤東一生愛讀書，無論是戰爭年代還是和平時期，只要一有閒暇時間就讀書，而且他不動筆墨不看書，讀書時在重要的地方劃上圈、槓、點等各種符號，在書上空白的地方寫上批語，有時還把書中重要的內容摘錄下來，或隨時寫下讀書的心得體會，並把學習所得運用到實踐中去，指導中國革命。魯迅少年時，冬天晚上讀書冷，就把辣椒放在口中嚼，用辣椒驅寒，堅持讀書。世界文學家高爾基就曾借著月光讀書，在樓頂讀書，在老闆的皮鞭下讀書。對讀書的痴迷，終於把他造就為世界文學巨匠。正如高爾基自己所說："書籍使我變成了一個幸福的人".世紀老人冰心曾教導我們 "讀書好，好讀書，讀好書".
Premier Zhoustudied for a rising China. while Chairman Mao loved reading all his life.Whether it was in wartime or in peacetime, Chairman Mao would spare some timereading.He also made some comments where is necessary. When Luxun was young, hechewed hot peppers to keep from the cold. The world famous writer Gao erji onceread the books by moonlight on the top of the roof. The obsession with books,finally made him the masters of world literature. As gorky said books make meinto a happy man. Bing Xin said: " Reading is good, read more books andread often.
開學典禮上，李春雷校長號召同學們開展"讀書、運動、探究"活動，闡述了讀書的深遠意義。學校為鼓勵同學們讀書，開展了讀好書贈書刊，家長孩子共讀一本書活動。剛剛過去的寒假，高中部向每個學生家長推薦了閱讀書目，並寫閱讀體會，得到了家長的普遍好評。九(3)班劉浚凱同學的父親在閱讀體會中寫到：謝謝學校假期給家長們安排的讀書作業，讓我在讀書中領悟到今後如何讓孩子快樂讀書，早點形成獨立能力，勇於生活，熱愛生活，活得更有意義，並及時糾正了我的一些教育觀念。
In theschool opening ceremony, Mr Li called on us to read, to explore and to research.In order to encourage students to read more, a variety of activities have beencarried out, such as sharing a good book with your parents and writing feelsfor them. Liu Junkai ‘s father from Class 3 Grade said in his reading notes,thanks to these meaningful reading activities, I began to realize theimportance of reading for a child, and I would like to help my son form acorrect reading habits from now on .
讀書帶給我們最雋永的樂趣、最恆久的動力;讀書帶給我們平和的心態、精神的慰藉。經典詩句，讓我們充滿智慧;童話故事，讓我們浮想聯翩;歷史巨著，讓我們博古知今;科普書籍，讓我們思維縝密……

With the growing awareness of healthy eating， more and more people now are paying more attention to the importance of healthy diet and an active life。 But at the same time， a growing unrest over food safety in the China has caught everyone’s concern。
When it es to the food safety incidents， especially 20__ Chinese milk scandal， every consumer has much anger to pour upon them。 In September 20__， a fresh outbreak of kidney disease occurred， due to baby formula contaminated by melamine。 Three babies died and over 6，000 were made sick by the tainted formula。 The supplier of the milk， Sanlu Group， is a name brand and is a major player in the industry in China。 The pany is said to have known of the problem for months， but claims the contaminant came from milk suppliers。
Who should be main responsible for these serious incidents like milk scandal? On one hand， plex China’s food regulations should shoulder part duties。 We should realized its monitoring system can be unresponsive， and the government departments that oversee and enforce policies have overlapping and often ambiguous duties。 On the other， food producers and suppliers lack deserved responsibility for consumers! What they cares is only their own interest and profit maximization。
In my opinion ，everyone involved in it should set up a high responsibility for others， law related should be passed and carried out。 Only in this way can we e by a healthy eating and a harmonious world。

It is said that the custom of Spring Festival started in when people offered sacrifice to ancestors in the last month of Chinese lunar calendar. At that time, people prepared the sacrifice by doing thorough cleaning, having bathes and so on. Later, people began to worship different deities as well on that day. It is the time that almost all the farm works were done and people have free time. The sacrificing time changed according to the farming schedule and was not fixed until the Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD). The customs of worshipping deities and ancestors remains even though the ceremonies are not as grand as before. It is also the time that spring is coming, so people held all kinds of ceremonies to welcome it.
There are many legends about Spring Festival in Chinese culture. In folk culture, it is also called “guonian” (meaning “passing a year”). It is said that the “nian” (year) was a strong monster which was fierce and cruel and ate one kind of animal including human being a day. Human beings were scared about it and had to hide on the evening when the “nian” came out. Later, people found that “nian” was very scared about the red color and fireworks. So after that, people use red color and fireworks or firecrackers to drive away “nian”. As a result, the custom of using red color and setting off fireworks remains.
Preparing the New Year starts 7 days before the New Year’s Eve. According to Chinese lunar calendar, people start to clean the house on Dec. 24, butcher on Dec. 26th and so on. People have certain things to do on each day. These activities will end Jan. 15th of the lunar calendar.
My speech is over. thank you.

Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another; good sense is not conscience,refinement is not humility, nor is largeness and justness of view faith.Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound, gives no command over thepassions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles.
Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but thegentleman. It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivatedintellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a nobleand courteous bearing in the conduct of life--these are the connatural qualitiesof a large knowledge; they are the objects of a University; I am advocating, Ishall illustrate and insist upon them; but still, I repeat, they are noguarantee for sanctity or even for conscientiousness, they may attach to the manof the world, to the profligate, to the heartless, pleasant, alas, andattractive as he shows when decked out in them. Taken by themselves, they do butseem to be what they are not; they look like virtue at a distance, but they aredetected by close observers, and on the long run; and hence it is that they arepopularly accused of pretense and hypocrisy, not, I repeat, from their ownfault, but because their professors and their admirers persist in taking themfor what they are not, and are officious in arrogating for them a praise towhich they have no claim. Quarry the granite rock with razors, or moor thevessel with a thread of silk, then may you hope with such keen and delicateinstruments as human knowledge and human reason to contend against those giants,the passion and the pride of man.
