英語(yǔ)演講稿1
My friends, comrades, and fellow South Africans: I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy, and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore have placed the remaining years of my life in your , I extend my sincere and warmest gratitude to the millions of my compatriots and those in every corner of the globe who have campaigned tirelessly for my release. I extend special greetings to the people of Cape Town the city through which — which has been my home for three decades.
I salute the rank members of the ANC: You have sacrificed life and limb in the pursuit of the noble cause of our , like Solomon Mahlangu and Ashley Kriel, who have paid the ultimate price for the freedom of all South Africans. I salute the South African Communist Party for its sterling contribution to the struggle for democracy. You have survived 40 years of unrelenting persecution.
The memory of great communists like Moses Kotane, Yusuf Dadoo, Bram Fischer, and Moses Mabhida will be cherished for generations to come. I salute General Secretary Joe Slovo, one of our finest patriots. We are heartened by the fact that the alliance between ourselves and the Party remains as strong as it — it always , the National Education Crisis Committee, the South African Youth Congress, the Transvaal and Natal Indian Congresses, and COSATU and the many other formations of the Mass Democratic Movement. I also salute the Black Sash and the National Union of South African Students.
We note with pride that you have looked — that you have acted as the conscience of white South Africa. Even during the darkest days in the history of our struggle you held the flag of liberty high. The large cale mass mobilization of the past few years is one of the key factors which led to the opening of the final chapter of our — Your organized strength is the pride of our movement. You remain the most dependable force in the struggle to end exploitation and oppression.
I greet the traditional leaders of our country — many among you continue to walk in the footsteps of great heroes like Hintsa and , you, the young lions. You, the young lions, have energized our entire struggle. I pay tribute to the mothers and wives and sisters of our nation. Without your support our struggle would not have reached this advanced stage. The sacrifice of the frontline states will be remembered by South Africans , black and white, recognize that apartheid has no future. It has to be ended by our own decisive mass action in order to build peace and security.
The mass campaigns of defiance and other actions of our organizations and people can onlyculminate in the establishment of continent is in calculable. The fabric of family life of millions of my people has been shattered. Millions are homeless and unemployed. Our economy — Our economy lies in ruins and our people are embroiled in political strife. Our resort to the armed struggle in 1960 with the formation of the military wing of the ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe, was a purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid. The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement will be created soon so that there may no longer be the need for the armed , strategies, and , I feel duty瞓ound to make the point that a leader of the movement is a person who has been democratically elected at a national conference.
This is a principle which must be upheld without any , I wish to report to you that my talks with the government have been aimed at normalizing the political situation in the country. We have not as yet begun discussing the basic demands of the struggle. I wish to stress that I myself have at no time entered into negotiations about the future of our country except to insist on a meeting between the ANC and the has gone further than any other Nationalist President in taking real steps to normalize the situation. However, there are further steps, as outlined in the Harare Declaration, that have to be met before negotiations on the basic demands of our people can begin.
Negotiations cannot take place — Negotiations cannot take place above the heads or behind the backs of our people. It is our belief that the future of our country can only be determined by a body which is democratically elected on a non瞨acial basis. Negotiations on the dismantling of apartheid will have to address the overwhelming demands of our people for a democratic, non瞨acial and unitary South Africa. And this reality is that we are still suffering under the policies of the Nationalist , so that the process towards democracy is rapid and uninterrupted. We have waited too long for our freedom. We can no longer wait.
Now is the time to intensify the struggle on all fronts. To relax our efforts now would be a mistake which generations to come will not be able to role in a united democratic and non瞨acial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony. In conclusion, I wish to quote my own words during my trial in 1964. They are as true today as they were then. I spoke: I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and — and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.

英語(yǔ)演講稿3
good evening:
this is the 37th time i have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shape the history of this nation. each time i have done so to discuss with you some matter that i believe affected the national interest. in all the decisions i have made in my public life i have always tried to do what was best for the nation.
throughout the long and difficult period of watergate, i have felt it was my duty to persevere -- to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which you elected me. in the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that i no longer have a strong enough political base in the congress to justify continuing that effort. as long as there was such a base, i felt strongly that it was necessary to see the constitutional process through to its conclusion; that to do otherwise would be unfaithful to the spirit of that deliberately difficult process, and a dangerously destabilizing precedent for the future. but with the disappearance of that base, i now believe that the constitutional purpose has been served. and there is no longer a need for the process to be prolonged.
i would have preferred to carry through to the finish whatever the personal agony it would have involved, and my family unanimously urged me to do so. but the interests of the nation must always come before any personal considerations. from the discussions i have had with congressional and other leaders i have concluded that because of the watergate matter i might not have the support of the congress that i would consider necessary to back the very difficult decisions and carry out the duties of this office in the way the interests of the nation will require.
i have never been a quitter.
to leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. but as president, i must put the interests of
therefore, i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
vice president ford will be sworn in as president at that hour in this office.
as i recall the high hopes for america with which we began this second term, i feel a great sadness that i will not be here in this office working on your behalf to achieve those hopes in the next two and a half years. but in turning over direction of the government to vice president ford i know, as i told the nation when i nominated him for that office ten months ago, that the leadership of america would be in good hands.
in passing this office to the vice president, i also do so with the profound sense of the weight of responsibility that will fall on his shoulders tomorrow, and therefore of the understanding, the patience, the cooperation he will need from all americans. as he assumes that responsibility he will deserve the help and the support of all of us. as we look to the future, the first essential is to begin healing the wounds of this nation. to put the bitterness and divisions of the recent past behind us and to rediscover those shared ideals that lie at the heart of our strength and unity as a great and as a free people.
by taking this action, i hope that i will have hastened the start of that process of healing which is so desperately needed in america. i regret deeply any injuries that may have been done in the course of the events that led to this decision. i would say only that if some of my judgments were wrong -- and some were wrong -- they were made in what i believed at the time to be the best interests of the nation.
to those who have stood with me during these past difficult months, to my family, my friends, the many others who joined in supporting my cause because they believed it was right, i will be eternally grateful for your support. and to those who have not felt able to give me your support, let me say i leave with no bitterness toward those who have opposed me, because all of us in the final analysis have been concerned with the good of the country, however our judgments might differ.
so let us all now join together in affirming that common commitment and in helping our new president succeed for the benefit of all americans. i shall leave this office with regret at not completing my term but with gratitude for the privilege of serving as your president for the past five and a half years. these years have been a momentous time in the history of our nation and the world. they have been a time of achievement in which we can all be proud, achievements that represent the shared efforts of the administration, the congress and the people. but the challenges ahead are equally great. and they, too, will require the support and the efforts of the congress and the people, working in cooperation with the new administration.
we have ended america's longest war. but in the work of securing a lasting peace in the world, the goals ahead are even more far-reaching and more difficult. we must complete a structure of peace, so that it will be said of this generation -- our generation of americans -- by the people of all nations, not only that we ended one war but that we prevented future wars.
we have unlocked the doors that for a quarter of a century stood between the united states and the people's republic of china. we must now insure that the one-quarter of the world's people who live in the people's republic of china will be and remain, not our enemies, but our friends.
in the middle east, 100 million people in the arab countries, many of whom have considered us their enemy for nearly 20 years, now look on us as their friends. we must continue to build on that friendship so that peace can settle at last over the middle east and so that the cradle of civilization will not become its grave. together with the soviet union we have made the crucial breakthroughs that have begun the process of limiting nuclear arms. but, we must set as our goal, not just limiting, but reducing and finally destroying these terrible weapons, so that they cannot destroy civilization. and so that the threat of nuclear war will no longer hang over the world and the people. we have opened a new relation with the soviet union. we must continue to develop and expand that new relationship, so that the two strongest nations of the world will live together in cooperation rather than confrontation.
around the world -- in asia, in africa, in latin america, in the middle east -- there are millions of people who live in terrible poverty, even starvation. we must keep as our goal turning away from production for war and expanding production for peace so that people everywhere on this earth can at last look forward, in their children's time, if not in our own time, to having the necessities for a decent life. here, in america, we are fortunate that most of our people have not only the blessings of liberty but also the means to live full and good, and by the world's standards even abundant lives.
we must press on, however, toward a goal not only of more and better jobs but of full opportunity for every american, and of what we are striving so hard right now to achieve -- prosperity without inflation.
for more than a quarter of a century in public life, i have shared in the turbulent history of this evening. i have fought for what i believe in. i have tried, to the best of my ability, to discharge those duties and meet those responsibilities that were entrusted to me. sometimes i have succeeded. and sometimes i have failed. but always i have taken heart from what theodore roosevelt once said about the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is not effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deed, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievements and with the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
i pledge to you tonight that as long as i have a breath of life in my body, i shall continue in that spirit. i shall continue to work for the great causes to which i have been dedicated throughout my years as a congressman, a senator, vice president and president, the cause of peace -- not just for america but among all nations -- prosperity, justice and opportunity for all of our people.
there is one cause above all to which i have been devoted and to which i shall always be devoted for as long as i live.
when i first took the oath of office as president five and a half years ago, i made this sacred commitment: to consecrate my office, my energies, and all the wisdom i can summon to the cause of peace among nations. i've done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge. as a result of these efforts, i am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of america but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace rather than dying in war.
this, more than anything, is what i hoped to achieve when i sought the presidency.
this, more than anything, is what i hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as i leave the presidency.
to have served in this office is to have felt a very personal sense of kinship with each and every american.
in leaving it, i do so with this prayer: may god's grace be with you in all the days ahead.

Dear teachers,dear students:
hello everyone!
The topic of my speech is "the hardness of life"
The vast desert,a tree stand,the show is a monument to the image.
Towering mountains,thousands of tree stand up,as is a magnificent the Great Wall.
The long river,all the trees stood up into a dragon of glory.
We are a symbol of too much,and too much. But I believe that my image is not "the gentlest hands,skin,such as Diorskin" Lin Daiyu,nor is the modern "unkempt and shabby","Su Qier". We are a symbol of hope and vitality. So we show in front of others should be ed without pleats,face without scale,modest and polite gestures exudes a stream of heroic spirit,the image of the vigor and vitality of the modern new youth,a into the embodiment of the spirit of nature.
Someone once said,life is a kind of hardness,integrity and dignity of life is propped up the hardness of bone. "Better life" and "the Kui back in the day,and not ashamed on the ground",which is always the traditional virtue of the China.
Li Bai's "the eyebrow nengcui Zheyaoshan powerful thing,so that I may not be happy Yan" this awe inspiring atmosphere of the verse and whether it will make those no self-esteem people to shame? Loss of self-esteem is a worthless person,and we as the vanguard of the times,if drown in the darkness forever,or to do a dauntless hero,a flower in the wind and rain sonorous rose. The answer is self-evident. Desert desolate also has the monument stands,Castle Peak again proud,but also have the great wall around,the river again quiet,also there is a dragon in the recumbent.
But the time can be changed,our image,our glory remains the same. Because we pride,because we are confident,because we have a fresh life. And because of this,it is a vast desert riparian long,Qingshan was evergreen,the hardness of life is forever.

Learn How to Say No
We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We can't say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely.
When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.

Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I'm very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”。 I hope you will like it , and found 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 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 messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!

Ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon !Today the topic of my speech is “Discover myself”
I think each people is unique.Everyone is different .
I don’t need to envy others,because I think I am the only one in the world.
So do u really know yourself?
In my parents’ eyes,I am a naughty boy. In my friends’ eyes, I am a friendly boy.In my teachers’ eyes,I am a boy which progresses.
But how do I think of myself?
I don’t know.
Everone has merits and shortcomings. we need to discover our disadvantages and get rid of it . However, Lookers-on see most often.So mentors are necessary.
In elementary school, I didn’t know the importance of studying.I just know playing all day.One day my english teacher told me(that)she thought I was a intelligent boy.I was shocked by what she said.I didn’t do well in my english subject at that time.I was encouraged by what she said.In other words,what she said made me exicted.Since then,I fell in love with English.I started to read some English novels and listen to music.My english teacher taught me patiently and encouraged me to insist on doing these.I was interested in english.I found it was easy to learn english.It does’t like I thought it would be difficult.Maybe I had talent in learning english.However,if I don’t listen to my english teacher.Maybe I would get lost.
Everybody should have confidence in discovering yourselves,although it is a difficult journey.When there is a will,there is a way.

英語(yǔ)演講稿12
It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness bypursuing it。 This is only true if you pursue it unwisely。 Gamblers at MonteCarlo are pursuing money,and most of them lose it instead,but there are otherways of pursuing money which often succeed。 So it is with happiness。 If youpursue it by means of drink,you are forgetting the hang—over。 Epicurus pursuedit by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread,supplementedby a little cheese on feast days。 His method proved successful in his case,buthe was a valetudinarian,and most people would need something more vigorous。 Formost people,the pursuit of happiness,unless supplemented in various ways,istoo abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life。 But Ithink that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not,exceptin rare and heroic cases,be incompatible with happiness。
There are a great many people who have all the material conditions ofhappiness,i。e。 health and a sufficient income,and who,nevertheless,areprofoundly unhappy。 In such cases it would seem as if the fault must lie with awrong theory as to how to live。 In one sense,we may say that any theory as tohow to live is wrong。 We imagine ourselves more different from the animals thanwe are。 Animals live on impulse,and are happy as long as external conditionsare favorable。 If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmthand opportunities for an occasional night on the tiles。 Your needs are morecomplex than those of your cat,but they still have their basis in instinct。 Incivilized societies,especially in English—speaking societies,this is too aptto be forgotten。 People propose to themselves some one paramount objective,andrestrain all impulses that do not minister to it。 A businessman may be soanxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and privateaffections。 When at last he has become rich,no pleasure remains to him exceptharrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example。 Many richladies,although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure inliterature or art,decide to be thought cultured,and spend boring hourslearning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written togive delight,not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism。
If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy,you willsee that they all have certain things in common。 The most important of thesethings is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you areglad to see coming into existence。 Women who take an instinctive pleasure intheir children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family。Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their ownwork seems good to them。 But there are many humbler forms of the same kind ofpleasure。 Many men who spend their working life in the city devote theirweekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens,and when thespring comes,they experience all the joys of having created beauty。
The whole subject of happiness has,in my opinion,been treated toosolemnly。 It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of lifeor a religion。 Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory mayneed a better theory to help them to recovery,just as you may need a tonic whenyou have been ill。 But when things are normal a man should be healthy without atonic and happy without a theory。 It is the simple things that really matter。 Ifa man delights in his wife and children,has success in work,and finds pleasurein the alternation of day and night,spring and autumn,he will be happywhatever his philosophy may be。 If,on the other hand,he finds his wifefateful,his childrens noise unendurable,and the office a nightmare;if in thedaytime he longs for night,and at night sighs for the light of day,then whathe needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen————a different diet,or moreexercise,or what not。
Man is an animal,and his happiness depends on his physiology more than helikes to think。 This is a humble conclusion,but I cannot make myself disbelieveit。 Unhappy businessmen,I am convinced,would increase their happiness more bywalking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy。

很多人擁有獲得幸福的全部物質(zhì)條件,即健康的身體和豐足的收入,可是他們非常不快樂(lè)。就這種情況來(lái)說(shuō),似乎問(wèn)題處在生活理論的錯(cuò)誤上。從某種意義上講,我們可以說(shuō)任何關(guān)于生活的理論都是不正確的。我們和動(dòng)物的區(qū)別并沒(méi)有我們想象的那么大。動(dòng)物是憑沖動(dòng)生活的,只要客觀條件有利,它們就會(huì)快樂(lè)。如果你有一只貓,它只要有東西吃,感到暖和,偶爾晚上得到機(jī)會(huì)去尋歡,它就會(huì)很快活。你的需要比你的貓要復(fù)雜一些,但還是以本能為基礎(chǔ)的。在文明社會(huì)中,特別是在講英語(yǔ)的社會(huì)中,這一點(diǎn)很容易被忘卻。人們給自己定下一個(gè)最高的目標(biāo),對(duì)一切不利于實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)的沖動(dòng)都加以克制。生意人可能因?yàn)榍型l(fā)財(cái)以致不惜犧牲健康和愛(ài)情。等他終于發(fā)了財(cái),他除了苦苦勸人效法他的好榜樣而攪得別人心煩外,并沒(méi)有得到快樂(lè)。很多有錢(qián)的貴婦人,盡管自然并未賦予她們?nèi)魏涡蕾p文學(xué)或藝術(shù)的興趣,卻決意要使別人認(rèn)為她們是有教養(yǎng)的,于是他們花費(fèi)很多煩人的`時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)怎樣談?wù)撃切┝餍械男聲?shū)。這些書(shū)寫(xiě)出來(lái)是要給人以樂(lè)趣的,而不是要給人以附庸風(fēng)雅的機(jī)會(huì)的。
只要你觀察一下周?chē)切┠憧煞Q(chēng)之為幸福的男男女女,就會(huì)看出他們都有某些共同之處。在這些共同之處中有一點(diǎn)是最重要的:那就是活動(dòng)本身,它在大多數(shù)情況下本身就很有趣,而且可逐漸的使你的愿望得以實(shí)現(xiàn)。生性喜愛(ài)孩子的婦女,能夠從撫養(yǎng)子女中得到這種滿(mǎn)足。藝術(shù)家、作家和科學(xué)家如果對(duì)自己的工作感到滿(mǎn)意,也能以同樣的方式得到快樂(lè)。不過(guò),還有很多是較低層次的快樂(lè)。許多在城里工作的人到了周末自愿地在自家的庭院里做無(wú)償?shù)膭趧?dòng),春天來(lái)時(shí),他們就可盡情享受自己創(chuàng)造的美景帶來(lái)的快樂(lè)。

人是動(dòng)物,他的幸福更多的時(shí)候取決于其生理狀況而非思想狀況。這是一個(gè)很庸俗的結(jié)論,然而我無(wú)法使自己懷疑它。我確信,不幸福的商人與其找到新的理論來(lái)使自己幸福,還不如每天步行六英里更見(jiàn)效。

Good afternoon! Ladies and gentlemen!
I am very happy to have the opportunity to attend this Competition. My topic today is “Never Say Sorry Again!”
Do you feel sorry for the animals that are killed by the millions every day? Do we really need to kill animals? Let us now think of the reasons for using dead animals. People often use animals for food, make-up, medicine and especially for the clothes. Fur coats are definitely a luxury. Yes, they are warm but really they are mostly a symbol of wealth. Do you know how much a mink coat cost?
A report said in an open letter published recently, a Dutch animal-rights group has asked their much-loved Queen to stop wearing fur. The Group pointed out that making clothing from fur represents cruelty to animals. “ Fur belongs to animals, not to human beings.”
Nowadays a lot of greedy people hunt and kill wild animals and birds, so as to make money by selling their hides at high prices. This kind of killing should be stopped and seriously punished. If we don't take actions to protect the wild animals and birds, they will soon disappear from the globe. Man will one day find himself a very lonely creature on earth indeed. Until such a day, when we finally realized that we no longer have these friends or neighbors, what are we human beings going to say? Sorry? No, it is too late to say sorry to them. Ladies and Gentlemen, please consider what I have said to you this afternoon. Think carefully on whether we really need to use animals for our pleasure if you have come to the conclusion that we are wrong. Then we should now change our attitude so that we never say sorry again to the animal population. Thank you!
