My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It
In the past twenty years, China has faced three American presidents, but till coming to Yale today, I never realized that China really just faced one university. Although, through these three presidents, I understand that the quality of Yale graduates is not so even.
Let me begin my main subject and let me give it a title, called “My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It”. I want to talk about five particular years. The first is 1968. That year I was born. But it was also a chaotic year for the world. In France, there was this huge street disturbance, and in America, too. Then President Kennedy was assassinated. However, I really did not cause all of these! But that year what ?we remember more was the assassination of Mr. Martin Luther King. Although he fell that year, his words “I have a dream”stood up, not only stood up in America, but across the whole world.
But sadly, not only for me, but for almost all Chinese, we did not know such a dream. It was hard to describe each Chinese as having his or her own dream. China and America were so far apart, no less far apart than the Moon and the Earth. But I didn’t care about any of that. All I cared about was could I have a full meal. Clearly, I was born at a very inconvenient time, not only for China, but even for the world, there were problems.
In 1978, ten years later, I was 10. I still lived in the very little city that had only 200 thousand people at the time I was born. It was 2000 km from Beijing. If you
wanted to read the newspaper from Beijing, you waited three days. So for us, there was no such thing as news. That year my grandfather passed away. Two years before that my father passed away. So there was just my mother left to take care of me and my brother. Her monthly salary was not even ten dollars. As a result, even though I was 10, the word “dream”was still not in my vocabulary, and I would never think of it. I could not see hope in this family, but only felt bitter cold every winter. Where we lived was close to the Soviet Union. Yet the 1978 in which I could not see hope was also the year that a huge change took place, whether for China or for the relationship between China and America. That is a date that everybody here today should remember. December 16, 1978, China and America officially established diplomatic relations. That was a big event. And two days after that, December 18 was when China opened the 3rd Plenary Session of the Eleventh CPC Central Committee. That was the beginning of thirty-one years of Reform and Opening. History, two great nations, and a very pitiful family all became intertwined in a theatrical way. Truthfully, from the small personal family, to the big family of the country, nobody then had any idea what the future would be like.
In 1988, I was 20. At this time I had already come out of the little border town to Beijing as a university student. Although we have many people in China today criticizing China’s university entrance exams and see many many deficiencies in it, it must be said that it is such a system that allowed very ordinary people
like me to have the opportunity to change our lives. Of course, at that time, America was no longer a very distant country. It became very specific. It was no longer the “Imperialist America”of the past slogans, but it became the many details in our lives. This was the first time that I tasted Coca-Cola. When I finished drinking it I believed China and America were truly so close, because it tasted just like Chinese medicine.
That was a time when I took a crazy liking to rock’n'roll. That was a time when Michael Jackson still looked relatively handsome. More importantly, that was a time when China experienced very big transformations, as Reform and Opening had already gone on for ten years. That year, China began experimenting with market pricing for many goods. It may feel like something totally incomprehensible to you, but it was a big deal in China, a huge step, because before that the prices were decided by the government. But in that year, because price controls were relaxed, the whole country went on a crazy shopping spree. Everybody all thought, how long could this last, so they had to get a whole life’s worth of food and goods to bring home. That year symbolized that China marched closer and closer to a market economy.
Of course back then nobody knew that market economy could also have a subprime crisis. Anyway, I know that 1988 was an extra important year for Yale, because a Yale alum once again became an American President.
In 1998, I was 30. I had already become a news anchor at CCTV. More importantly, I had become the father of a one-year-old child. That year a very important thing happened between China and America, and the protagonist was Clinton. Perhaps you remember his sexual scandal in America, but in China what we remember is his visit to China that year. In June, when he visited China, he and President Jiang Zemin held an open press conference in the Great Hall of the People. Then he gave an open lecture at Peking University. The live anchor for both events was me.
During Clinton’s lecture at Peking University, because he used his own translator the whole time, I guessed that many Chinese viewers only knew that Clinton was definitely saying something, but what he said wasn’t all that clear. So near the end of my live broadcast, I remarked that it looked like for America to learn more about China, sometimes it needed to start with language, though for our two countries, face-to-face was always better than back-to-back. It was also at the beginning of that year that I drove the first car in my life. For me this was unimaginable before, that Chinese people one day would also drive their own cars. A personal delight can also make a lasting impression, because sometimes the first time is the most unforgettable.
In 2008, I was 40. The words “I have a dream”that haven’t been discussed for many years now were heard among so many Americans. It seemed like Obama really did not want to accept Yale’s 20-year occupation of America.
Using words like “change”and “dream”, he even convinced Yale teachers and students to parade and celebrate his election to the Presidency, according to what I’ve heard.
But this was also a year in which the Chinese Dream showed clearly. After encountering many setbacks as any grand dream in the world is destined to, it came through. Whether it was the long-awaited Beijing Olympics, or the first spacewalk by a Chinese aboard the Shenzhou 7, these were all dreams which we have waited for a long time since a long time ago. But the sudden Sichuan Earthquake made all this not as magnificent as we had expected.
Eighty-thousand lives departed, and made every day of 2008 seem like a year. I’m guessing that on Yale’s campus, on every web site, in front of television and newspapers, were also many people from China, and people in all parts of the world, who shed tears for these lost lives. Just like forty years ago when Mr. Martin Luther King fell but allowed the words “I have a dream”to stand higher, more enduring, and seem ever more valuable, more Chinese people also came to understand that dreams are important, but lives are even more so. During the Olympics, I passed my own fortieth birthday. That day I was full of emotional thoughts, because when the day of my birthday approached, I was broadcasting an exciting competition. Twenty-four hours later, when my birthday was passing, I was still broadcasting. But that day I felt very fortunate.
Because it was such a special fortieth birthday at the Beijng Olympics that made me realize the Chinese Dream behind my personal story.
It was in this kind of forty years that I went from a far-away border-town kid who had no possibility of having a dream, to a newsman who could be at a big festival celebrated with all of humanity and who could communicate and share the happiness with them. This was a life story that took place in China. And in this year, China and America were not far apart. There was a bit of me in you and a bit of you in me, we needed each other. It was said that President Bush spent the longest time in any country abroad as President, and that was during the Beijing Olympics. Phelps took eight medals there, and his family was there by his side. All Chinese wished that extraordinary family well. Of course, every dream will pass. In such a year, China and America almost simultaneously found their new “I have a dream”moment, and it was so coincidental, and so deserving.
America is facing a very very difficult financial crisis, and it isn’t only America, but it affects the whole world seriously. Yesterday I got to New York. As soon as I deplaned, I went to Wall Street. There I saw the statue of President Washington. His gaze was permanently fixed on the huge American flag on the stock exchange. Interestingly, the hall behind the statue was holding an exhibition on “President Lincoln in New York”, so President Lincoln’s huge portrait was also on it, and he also gazed at the flag. I felt the very solemn
weight of history. When I left there, I told my colleague this. I said, many many years ago, if something like this befell America, perhaps Chinese people would have taken pleasure, because see, America is miserable again. But today, Chinese people would especially wish that America get better soon. Because we have hundreds of billions worth of money with America. We also have a huge quantity of products waiting to be put on freighters and sent to America. If America’s economy takes a step for the better, it means behind these products, another Chinese gets a raise, it means he regains his employment and happiness in the family.
In the past 30 years, I don’t know if you’ve noticed the Chinese Dream that is relevant to more and more ordinary Chinese people. I don’t know what other country in this world, in the past 30 years, has changed the individual fates at this magnitude. A kid from a remote small city on the periphery, a kid in despair, today has the chance to have an exchange with these Yale students. Maybe we can change the viewpoint, and look at 1.3 billion very ordinary Chinese, their down-to-earth dreams, their impulsive drive to change their fates, their still kindhearted temperament, and their diligent character. Today’s China is made up of these words I just spoke.
In the past many years, Chinese seemed to be looking at America through a telescope. So everything good that is in America was magnified by this telescope. Frequently people mentioned America was like this and like that,
then look at us, when can we be like that. In the past many years, Americans also seemed to be looking at China through a telescope, but I am guessing they held it backwards. Because what they saw was a diminished,
always-doing-wrong, full-of-problems China. They overlooked 1.3 very ordinary Chinese people and this impulsive drive and urge of theirs to change their fate, which caused such huge transformations in our country. But I also always had this dream: why do we need to use telescopes to look at each other?
Of course I hope very many Americans have a chance to go see China, and not to look at China through the media. You know I don’t really trust all of my colleagues. I’m just kidding. Actually I respect my American colleagues very much. I only hope that more and more American friends go to see a real China. Because I can at least guarantee one thing. Even if in America you ate what is deemed to be the best Chinese food, in won’t fetch a good price in China. Just like many many years ago, in every city of China there was this popular “California Beef Noodle”shop. Many Chinese all thought, anything from America was definitely very very tasty. So they all went to eat. Although it was not very tasty, they didn’t complain because they knew it was from America. This fast-food chain existed in China for many years, until more and more Chinese people came to America, and searched every corner of California for a California Beef Noodle shop, and could not find a single one. Only then did more and more Chinese know that California doesn’t have such beef noodle,
so this chain store in China is in the process of disappearing. This is the kind of discrepancy I am talking about. As we come and go, such misunderstandings will be fewer and fewer.
So lastly I just want to say one thing again. Forty years ago, when Mr. Martin Luther King fell down, his words “I have a dream”spread across the world. But, you must know that there is not just an English version of “I have a dream.”In the distant East, in the China that has held on for thousands of years, there is also a dream. It isn’t a grandiose slogan, it doesn’t lie with the government. It belongs to every ordinary Chinese. It is “I have a dream”written in Chinese.
白岩松：我的故事以及背后的中国梦
过去的20年，中国一直在跟美国的三任总统打交道。但是，今天到了耶鲁大学我才知道，其实它只跟一所学校打交道。透过这三位总统我也明白了，耶鲁大学毕业生的水准也并不是很平均。
接下来，就进入我们今天的主题，如果要起个题目的话，应该叫《我的故事以及背后的中国梦》。
那一年，我们更应该记住的是马丁·路德·金先生遇刺。虽然，那一年他倒下了，但是“我有一个梦想”的这句话却真正地站了起来，不仅在美国站了起来，也在全世界站了起来。
我要讲五个年份，第一要讲的年份是1968年。
那一年我出生了。但是，那一年世界非常乱，在法国有巨大的街头的骚乱……
在美国也有，然后美国总统候选人罗伯特·肯尼迪遇刺了(他的哥哥约翰·肯尼迪总统在1963年遇刺)。但是，的确这一切的原因都与我无关(哄堂大笑)。
那一年，我们更应该记住的是马丁·路德·金先生遇刺。虽然，那一年他倒下了，但是“我有一个梦想”的这句话却真正地站了起来，不仅在美国站了起来，也在全世界站了起来。但是，当时很遗憾，不仅仅是我，几乎很多的中国人并不知道这个梦想。因为当时中国人，每一个人很难说拥有自己的梦想，将自己的梦想变成了一个国家的梦想，甚至是领袖的一个梦想。中国与美国的距离非常遥远，不亚于月亮与地球之间的距离。但是我并不关心这一切，我只关心我是否可以吃饱。
很显然，我的出生非常不是时候，不仅对于当时的中国来说，对于世界来说，似乎都有些问题(众笑)。
1978年，10年之后，我10岁了。
我依然生活在我出生的地方，那个只有20万人的非常非常小的城市。它离北京的距离有2000公里，它要想了解北京出的报纸的话，要在三天之后才能看见。所以，对于我们来说，是不存在新闻这个说法的(众笑)。
那一年，我的爷爷去世了。而在两年前的时候，我的父亲去世了。所以，只剩下我母亲一个人抚养我们哥儿俩，她一个月的工资不到10美元。因此，即使10岁了，梦想这个词对我来说，依然是一个非常陌生的词汇，我从来不会去想它。我母亲一直到现在也没有建立新的婚姻，是她一个人把我们哥俩抚养大。我看不到这个家庭的希望，只是会感觉，那个时候的每一个冬天都很寒冷。
就在我看不到希望的1978年的时候，不管是中国这个国家，还有中国与美国这两个国家之间，都发生了非常巨大的变化。那是一个我们在座的所有人都该
记住的年份：1978年的12月16日，中国与美国正式建交，那是一个大事件。而在中美建交两天之后，12月18日，中国共产党十一届三中全会召开了，那是中国改革开放31年的开始。
历史将两个伟大的国家、一个非常可怜的家庭就如此戏剧性地交织在一起，不管是小的家庭，还是大的国家，其实当时谁都没有把握知道未来是什么样的。接下来的年份，该讲1988年了，那一年我20岁。
这个时候我已经从边疆的小城市来到了北京，成为一个大学生。虽然，今天在中国依然还有很多的人在抨击中国的高考制度，认为它有很多很多的缺陷。但是，必须承认正是高考的存在，让我们这样一个又一个非常普通的孩子，拥有了改变命运的机会。
当然，这个时候美国已经不再是一个很遥远的国家，它变得很具体，它也不再是那个过去口号当中的“美帝国主义”(众笑并鼓掌)，而是变成了生活中很多的细节。
这个时候，我已经第一次尝试过可口可乐，而且喝完可口可乐之后会觉得中美两个国家真的是如此接近(众笑)。因为，它几乎就跟中国的中药是一样的(众笑)。
那个时候，我已经开始非常狂热地去喜欢上摇滚乐。那个时候，正是迈克尔·杰克逊长得比较漂亮的时候(哄堂大笑)。
更重要的是，这个时候的中国，已经开始发生了非常大的变化。因为，改革已经进行了10年。
那一年，中国开始尝试放开很多商品的价格。这在你们看来是非常不可思议的事情。但是，在中国当时是一个很大的迈进，因为过去的价格都是由政府来决
定的。
就在那一年，因为放开了价格，引起了全国疯狂地抢购，大家都觉得这个时候会有多久呢？于是，要把一辈子用的食品和用品，都买回到家里头。
这一年也就标志着中国离市场经济越来越近了。当然，那个时候没有人知道市场经济也会有次贷危机(众笑)。
当然，我知道那一年1988年对于耶鲁大学来说是格外的重要，因为你们耶鲁的校友又有一个成为了美国的总统。
我说：“看样子美国需要对中国有更多的了解，有的时候要从语言开始”。“对于中美这两个国家来说，面对面永远要好过背对背”。
接下来又是一个新的年份：1998年，那一年我30岁。
我已经成为中央电视台的一个新闻节目主持人。更重要的是，我已经成为一个1岁孩子的父亲。我开始明白我所做的许多事情不仅要考虑我自己，还要考虑孩子及他们的未来。
那一年，在中美之间发生了一个非常重要的事件，主角就是克林顿。也许在美国你记住的是性丑闻。但是，在中国记住的是，他那一年访问了中国。在6月份他访问中国的时候，在人民大会堂和江泽民主席进行了一个开放的记者招待会，然后又在北京大学进行了一个开放的演讲，这两场活动的直播主持人都是我。
当克林顿总统在上海即将离开中国的时候，记者问道：“这次访问中国，您印象最深的是什么？”
他说：“我最想不到的是这两场讲座居然都直播了(笑)。不过，直播让中国受到了表扬，而美国却受到了批评(众笑)。”当然只是一个很小的批评。在北大的演讲当中，由于整个克林顿总统的演讲，用的全是美方所提供的翻译。因此，他翻
译的那个水准远远达不到今天我们翻译的水准(听众大笑并鼓掌表示对现场翻译的感谢)。我猜想有很多的中国观众，是知道克林顿一直在说话，但是说的是什么，不太清楚(众笑)。
所以，我在直播结束的时候，说了这样的一番话：“看样子美国需要对中国有更多的了解，有的时候要从语言开始”，美国包括美联社在内的很多媒体都报道了我的这句话。但是，我说的另外一句话不知道他们有没有报道？我说：“对于中美这两个国家来说，面对面永远要好过背对背。”
当然也是在这一年年初，我开上了人生的第一辆车。这是我在过去从来不会想到的，中国人有一天也可以开自己的车。个人的喜悦，也会让你印象很久，因为往往第一次才是最难忘的。
这一年，也是中国梦非常明显的一年。它就像全世界所有的伟大梦想，注定都要遭受很多的挫折才能显现出来一样。无论是期待了很久的北京奥运会，还是神舟七号中国人第一次在太空行走，那都是很多年前，我们期待了很久的梦想。接下来，我要讲述的是：2008这一年，这一年我40岁。
很多年大家不再谈论的“我有一个梦想”这句话了，但是在这一年我听到太多的美国人在讲。看样子奥巴马的确不想再接受耶鲁占领美国20年这样的事实了(耶鲁大学一直盛产总统，而出身哈佛大学的奥巴马终结了这一事实)。
他用“改变”以及“梦想”这样的词汇，让耶鲁大学的师生在他当选总统之后举行游行，甚至庆祝。在这个细节中，让我看到了耶鲁师生的超越。
这一年，也是中国梦非常明显的一年。它就像全世界所有的伟大梦想，注定都要遭受很多的挫折才能显现出来一样。无论是期待了很久的北京奥运会，还是神舟七号中国人第一次在太空行走，那都是很多年前，我们期待了很久的梦想。
但是，突如其来的四川汶川特大地震，让这一切都变得没有我们期待中的那么美好。这个时候中国人对于生命的看待，我相信跟美国人和世界上一切善待生命的民族都是一样的。8万个生命的离开，让整个2008年中国人度日如年。
我猜得到在耶鲁校园里头，在每一个网页、电视以及报纸的前面，也有很多的来自中国的人，以及世界各地的人们，为这些生命流下眼泪。但是，就像40年前，马丁·路德·金先生倒下，却让“我有一个梦想”这句话站得更高，站得更久，站得更加让人觉得极其有价值一样，更多的中国人也明白了，梦想很重要，但是生命更重要。
在北京奥运会期间，我度过了自己的40岁的生日。
那一天，我感慨万千。虽然，周围的人不会知道(众笑)。因为时间进入到我的生日那一天的时候，我在直播精彩的比赛。24小时之后，当这个时间要走出我生日这一天的时候，我也依然在直播。但是，这一天我觉得非常的幸运。因为，正是这样一个特殊的、在北京奥运会期间的40岁，让我意识到了我的故事背后的中国梦。正是在这样的40年的时间里头，我从一个根本不可能有梦想的，一个遥远边疆的小城市里的孩子，变成了一个可以在全人类欢聚的一个大的节日里头，分享以及传播这种快乐的新闻人，这是一个在中国发生的故事。
而在这一年，中国和美国相距并不遥远，你中有我，我中有你，彼此需要。布什总统据说度过了他作为总统以来在国外、一个国家待得最长的一段时间，就是在北京奥运会期间。菲尔普斯在那儿拿到了8块金牌，而他的家人都陪伴在他的身边，所有的中国人都为这样一个特殊的家庭祝福。当然，任何一个这样的梦想都会转眼过去。在这样的一个年份里头，中美两国历史上几乎是第一次同时发出了“我有一个新的梦想”的时候，如此的巧合，如此的应该。美国面临了一次非
常非常艰难的金融危机，当然不仅仅是美国的事情，也对全世界有重大的影响。
昨天我到达纽约，刚下了飞机，我去的第一站就是华尔街，我看到了华盛顿总统的雕像，他的视线是那么永久不变地在盯着证券交易所上那面巨大的美国国旗(众笑)。而非常奇妙的是，在这个雕像后面的展览馆里正在举行“林肯总统在纽约”这样的一个展览。因此，林肯总统的大幅的画像也挂在那上面，他也在看那面国旗(众笑)。我读出了非常悲壮的一种历史感。
在离开那个地方的时候，我对我的同事说了这样一句话：“很多很多年前如果美国发生了这样状况的时候，也许中国人会感到很开心。”因为，大家会说：“你看，美国又糟糕了！”(众大笑)但是，今天中国人会格外地希望美国尽早地好起来，因为我们有几千亿的钱在美国(鼓掌，众大笑)，我们还有大量的产品等待着装上货船，送到美国来，如果美国的经济进一步好起来的话，在这些货品的背后，就是一个又一个中国人增长的工资，是他重新拥有的就业岗位，以及家庭的幸福。因此，你明白，这不是一个口号的宣传。
在过去的30年里头，你们是否注意到了，与一个又一个普通的中国人紧密相关的中国梦。我不知道世界上还有哪个国家，在过去这30年的时间里头，让个人的命运发生了这么大的变化。
一个边远小城市的孩子，一个绝望中的孩子，今天有机会在耶鲁跟各位同学交流，当然也包括很多老师和教授。中国经历了这30年，有无数个这样的家庭。他们的爷爷奶奶依然守侯在土地上，仅有微薄的收入，千辛万苦。他们的父亲母亲，已经离开了农村，通过考大学，在城市里已经有了很好的工作，而这个家庭的孙子孙女也许此刻就在美国留学，三代人，就像经历了三个时代。但是在中国，你随时可以看到这样的家庭。如果我没有说错的话，现场的很多个中国留学生，
他们的家庭也许就是这样。对么？(鼓掌)
那么，在我们去观察中国的时候，也许你经常关注的是“主义”、“社会主义”或其他庞大的政治词汇，或许该换一个视角去看13亿个非常普通的中国人。他们并没有宏大的梦想、改变命运的那种冲动，依然善良的性格和勤奋的那种品质。今天的中国是由刚才的这些词汇构成。
在过去的很多年里头，中国人看美国，似乎在用望远镜看。美国所有的美好的东西，都被这个望远镜给放大了。经常有人说美国怎么怎么样，美国怎么怎么样，你看我们这儿什么时候能这样(众笑)。
在过去的好多年里头，美国人似乎也在用望远镜在看中国。但是，我猜测可能拿反了(哄堂大笑，热烈鼓掌)。因为，他们看到的是一个缩小了的、错误不断的、有众多问题的一个中国。他们忽视了13亿非常普通的中国人，改变命运的这种冲动和欲望，使这个国家发生了如此巨大的变化(鼓掌)。
但是，我也一直有一个梦想：为什么要用望远镜来看彼此？我相信现场在座的很多个来自中国的留学生，他们会用自己的眼睛看到了最真实的美国，用自己的耳朵去了解最真实的来自美国人内心的想法。无论再用什么样的文字也很难再改变他们对美国的看法。因为，这来自他们内心的感受。当然我也希望非常多的美国人，有机会去看看中国，而不是在媒体当中去看中国。你知道，我并不太信任我所有的同行(众笑，鼓掌)。
开一个玩笑。其实美国的同行是我非常尊敬的同行。我只是希望越来越多的美国的朋友去看一个真实的中国。因为，我起码敢确定一件事情，即使在美国你吃到的被公认为最好的中国菜，在中国却很难卖出好价钱(众笑)。就像很多很多年之前，在中国所有的城市里流行着一种叫加州牛肉面，加利福尼亚牛肉面。相
当多的中国人都认为，美国来的东西一定非常非常好吃。所以，他们都去吃了。即使没那么好吃的话，由于觉得这是美国的也就不批评了(大笑)。这个连锁的快餐店在中国存在了很多年，直到有越来越多的中国人来到美国，在加州四处寻找加州牛肉面(众笑)。但是，一家都没有找到的时候，越来越多的中国人知道，加州是没有这种牛肉面的(笑)。
于是，这个连锁店在中国，现在处于消失的过程当中。你看，这就是一种差异。但是，当人来人往之后，这样的一种误会就会越来越少。
所以，最后我只想再说一句。
40年前，当马丁·路德·金先生倒下的时候，他的那句话“我有一个梦想”传遍了全世界。但是，一定要知道，不仅仅有一个英文版的“我有一个梦想”。在遥远的东方，在一个几千年延续下来的中国，也有一个梦想。它不是宏大的口号，并不仅仅在政府那里存在，它是属于每一个非常普通的中国人，而它用中文写成：“我有一个梦想！”

2分钟带翻译英语演讲稿5篇 【篇一】2分钟带翻译英语演讲稿 Good evening ,Ladies and Gentlemen: Thank you very much for choosing to come in such a cold night.Today my topic is about choice and process.A research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.With so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. In my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. There is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference. Life is a box of chocolate,you never know what you will get. Forrest Gump made no decision by and for himself but he accomplished great success with his strong will in the process. The process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ,the caution, courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. Take myself as an example, I changed my major when I became a postgraduate. After the choice,days have been harsh for me.I cannot understand the new lessons at all. For they are closely related to mathmatics which I learned nothing about before. However wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself,I persisted. I asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life. Gradually I could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.Moreover, I learned to act instead of complaining.

白岩松励志的演讲稿 关于白岩松励志演讲稿 有很多的年轻人会问我，说现在的社会不良现象都是凭父亲，有关系等等，看相貌等等。我就问他，凭父亲，起码还得有父亲，我八岁的时候，我父亲就去世了，我母亲一个 人带大我们哥俩。我们在内蒙古偏远的地方带大，离苏联最近。我在北京没有一个亲戚， 我没有因为自己的工作送过一回礼，我不也走到了今天吗?我知道社会上有很多不良的现象，我告诉你，信那些该信的东西，因为它能改变你。因为如果你要信那些你没法不愤怒 的事情，它只能害了你。所以信正直的道理。论相貌，你怎么也比我强，你不能看顺眼了，现在觉得我很好看，人不能这么没立场。所以反过来说，我为我经历过这样的青春而感到 骄傲，它也能让我今天面对任何事的时候心平气和。人生如果没有一些落差做比较的话， 人生就没有那么多趣味了。 日本有一个非常年轻的小伙子，他很惊讶，他说富二代在日本被人瞧不起，大家都认 为是寄生虫，反而逼得富二代自己去拼、去奋斗，而我们为什么不这样想呢?房价会不会降，我不是算命师，我只知道中国13亿人，你们自己去想。但是政府有义务，也有责任 去创造更多的廉租房，拿出更多的地盖保障房，让更多人居者有其屋，不是居者有产权屋，将来我希望你们有产权，但是一步一步的来。因此告诉你更真实的事实，残酷却美好，不 至于骗了你。 北漂一族，大家说，离开北京，回重庆、成都，回自己的家乡，探讨这个问题有意义吗?你有机会就留在这儿，甚至可以去纽约、伦敦，没有机会死守在这儿没有意义。但是 我想说，当初我们想留在北京都不可能，因为没有全国粮票。那个时候没有全国粮票，想 到外地飘不可能，我的很多同学都是30岁以后，背井离乡，放弃家里温暖的被窝和孩子 关切的目光到北京来闯荡和流浪的。而现在毕业了以后就可以在北京闯，当然有很多的抱怨，每天坐地铁、蚁族等等。我当初实习的时候，我在广播学院，离城里很远，那个时候 没有地铁，我为了不挤公共汽车，早上五点多钟，要赶老师的班车去广播电台实习，我经 常上了车就睡着，然后车一停就下去。结果有一天，莫名其妙的这辆汽车中间停了一站， 我看也没看，因为车一停就下去了，车走了，我才发现没有到目的地。 那一天，我悲从中来，比你今天要绝望得多。但是都走过来了。我们这个时代的青春，不如你们的一点就是我们那个时候有天大的委屈，都没有互联网，没有广泛的媒体，我们 的委屈声听不到，而你们所有的声音可以迅速的放大成为全社会的问题，祝福你们、祝贺 你们，社会不得不关注你们，我也坐在这儿，不得不谈论你们。因此我充满了羡慕。 没有一代的青春是容易的。青春如果没有了奋斗，没有了挣扎，没有了希望，没有了 绝望，还叫什么青春?举一个例子，我在大学的时候我们学校流行一首诗，回忆的时候才 知道我们那个时候也不怎么好。我们那个时候流行21岁走出青春的沼泽地，我告诉各位，青春是一生当中最迷盲、焦虑、充斥着绝望、挑战的时候，但是为什么所有的人都说青春
New York Senate speech By Hilary Clinton You know, you know, we started this great effort on a sunny July morning in Pindars Corner on Pat and Liz Moynihan’s beautiful farm and 62 coun ties, 16 months, 3 debates, 2 opponents, and 6 black pantsuits later, because of you, here we are. You came out and said that issues and ideals matter. Jobs matter, downstate and upstate. Health care matters, education matters, the environment matters, Social Securit y matters, a woman’s right to choose matters. and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you, New York! Thank you for opening up your minds and your hearts, for seeing the possibility of what we could do together for our children and for our future here in this state and in our nation. I am profoundly grateful to all of you for giving me the chance to serve you. 大家知道，我们是在七月的一个阳光灿烂的早上，从帕特和丽兹·莫伊尼汉的美丽农场的宾德角开始迈出了这艰难的一步，然后辗转六十二个县，历经过十六个月、三场辩论，打败了两个竞争对手，穿破六套黑色便服。终于在你们的支持下，我们站在了这里。 你们说的这些事情和观念非常重要--全州的就业问题是重要的，保健是重要的，教育是重要的，环境是重要的，社会保险是重要的，还有妇女选择权是重要的。这些全都重要，而我只想衷心道一声：谢谢你，纽约！ 感谢你们敞开心扉，感谢你们看到了这可能性--我们将一起为后代、为我们纽约以至全国的将来而共同努力。我对你们每个人都深怀谢意，感谢你们给了我一个为大家服务的机会。

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 wireless station: 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! 翻译 青春 青春不是指岁月,而是指心态。粉嫩的脸,红润的唇,矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时,青春才存在。果如此,则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念,则垂垂老也。 岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情,则连灵魂枯老,使人生枯如死水,毫无活力。60岁长者也好,16岁少年也罢,每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹,都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼,期待着下一次,期待着生活的情趣,你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻,则总能听到希望的呼唤,总能发出喜悦的欢呼,总能传达勇气的讯号,总能表现出青春的活力„„„ 一旦青春的天线倒下,你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖;即使你年方 20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起,就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬,行将就木,而你却仍然拥有青春,你仍然年轻。 谢谢! 上文为大家介绍的就是大学生500字英语演讲稿带翻译,你了解了吗?
My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It In the past twenty years, China has faced three American presidents, but till coming to Yale today, I never realized that China really just faced one university. Although, through these three presidents, I understand that the quality of Yale graduates is not so even. Let me begin my main subject and let me give it a title, called “My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It”. I want to talk about five particular years. The first is 1968. That year I was born. But it was also a chaotic year for the world. In France, there was this huge street disturbance, and in America, too. Then President Kennedy was assassinated. However, I really did not cause all of these! But that year what ?we remember more was the assassination of Mr. Martin Luther King. Although he fell that year, his words “I have a dream” stood up, not only stood up in America, but across the whole world. But sadly, not only for me, but for almost all Chinese, we did not know such a dream. It was hard to describe each Chinese as having his or her own dream. China and America were so far apart, no less far apart than the Moon and the Earth. But I didn’t care about any of that. All I cared about was could I have a full meal. Clearly, I was born at a very inconvenient time, not only for China, but even for the world, there were problems. In 1978, ten years later, I was 10. I still lived in the very little city that had only 200 thousand people at the time I was born. It was 2000 km from Beijing. If you wanted to read the newspaper from Beijing, you waited three days. So for us, there was no such thing as news. That year my grandfather passed away. Two years before that my father passed away. So there was just my mother left to take care of me and my brother. Her monthly salary was not even ten dollars. As a result, even though I was 10, the word “dream” was still not in my vocabulary, and I would never think of it. I could not see hope in this family, but only felt bitter cold every winter. Where we lived was close to the Soviet Union. Yet the 1978 in which I could not see hope was also the year
英语演讲稿带翻译4篇 下面是整理了英语演讲稿带翻译5篇，供你参考。 英语演讲稿带翻译范文一：我们是世界，我们是未来演讲稿 We Are The World ,We Are The Future Someone said "we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite". I don't know who wrote these words, but I've always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. We are young. "How to spend the youth?" It is a meaningful question. To answer it, first I have to ask "what do you understand by the word youth?" Youth is not a time of life, it's a state of mind. It's not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It's the matter of the will. It's the freshness of the deep spring of life. A poet said "To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I'd like to share it with all of you. Let's show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let's make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love,

I have had so many memories of my time here, and as Nick was speaking I thought about how I ended up at Yale Law School. And it tells a little bit about how much progress we’ve made. What I think most about when I think of Yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the superb legal education that I received. It was at Yale that I began work that has been at the core of what I have cared about ever since. I began working with New Haven legal services representing children. And I studied child development, abuse and neglect at the Yale New Haven Hospital and the Child Study Center. I was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with Marian Wright Edelman at the Children’s Defense Fund, where I went to work after I graduated. Those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children, particularly the most vulnerable. Now, looking back, there is no way that I could have predicted what path my life would have taken. I didn’t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, I think I’ll graduate and then I’ll go to work at the Children’s Defense Fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and Nixon retired or resigns, I’ll go to Arkansas. I didn’t think like that. I was taking each day at a time. But, I’ve been very fortunate because I’ve always had an idea in my mind about what I thought was important and what gave my life meaning and purpose. A set of values and beliefs that have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to illuminate my own true desires, despite that others say about what l should care about and believe in. A passion to succeed at what l thought was important and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light. Because l have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the most blessed of nations that has ever existed on the face of earth, that every child deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her God-given potential. But you know that belief and conviction-it may make for a personal mission statement, but

精彩英语演讲开场白示例 有了好的开头，英语演讲便成功了一半。好的英语演讲开头能够吸引听众的注意力，让你的英语演讲获得更多人的认可。那么，英语演讲的开头应该怎么写才能吸引听众的注意力呢?下面与你分享精彩的英语演讲开场白示例。 1、精彩英语演讲开场白示例一：问候听众，介绍自己 英语演讲稿开头怎么写?英语演讲稿的开头问候听众是最基本的礼貌。在一个陌生的场合作英语演讲，英语演讲稿的开头可以先介绍自己。人的好奇心都特别强，如果台上站着一个不认识的人作演讲，听众们一定都想知道演讲者的身份背景信息。所以在英语演讲的开头，大大方方将自己介绍给听众，让大家认识自己，无论如何，这总比演讲结束了，台下的观众还不知道台上那个家伙是谁要强!英语演讲稿开头怎么写 英语演讲稿开头怎么写?精彩英语演讲开场白示例 2、精彩英语演讲开场白示例二：受邀致辞 id like to thank you for inviting/asking me/giving me the chance to... i am grateful for the opportunity to present... 通常情况下，在一起企业活动或者学术活动中，有的演讲者会作为嘉宾被邀请发言。这个时候，你可以通过上述英语演讲开场白来发表讲话。 3、精彩英语演讲开场白示例三：告知演讲主题 thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell you about... the subject of my presentation is... 英语演讲稿的开头要记得告知听众演讲的主题，不要一篇英语演讲洋洋洒洒结束了，听众还对你所讲述的主题不甚明了，那就太悲剧了。一开始就告诉听众主题，让他们带着已有的自我认知跟着你的演讲往下听，他们的兴趣会更浓厚，如果他们听了半天不知道主题，又没怎么完全听懂，演讲就没有太大效果。 4、精彩英语演讲开场白示例四：引起听众兴趣 在英语演讲稿的开头引入一些引起听众兴趣的内容是演讲的技巧。你想要为听众讲一个不一样的故事?你想要为听众留一个悬念，让听众在你的英语演讲中找寻答案?那就试试上述这两 种英语演讲开场白的表达方式吧。 英语演讲稿开头怎么写?希望岱恩英语老师分享的精彩英语演讲开场白示例能够为你提供帮助。同时，岱恩英语老师也要提醒大家，一场成功的英语演讲光靠英语演讲稿是不够的，还需要掌握很多英语演讲方法和技巧，并且一个人的英语演讲能力也是需要反复锻炼才能提升的。希望大家好好学习，早日成为英语演讲高手! 最新英文演讲稿开场白 尊敬的评委，尊贵的来宾，女士们，先生们，大家晚上好!能够站在这里进行演说，我感到十分荣幸。今天我将和大家一起分享?? honorable judges,distinguished guests,ladies and gentlemen,good evening!i feel really honored to stand here and make a speech.today im going to look together with you into this question:?? good morning everybody!its my honor to speak here,and i am very glad to share my topic with you. then today id like to talk something about.....

白岩松的一篇优秀演讲稿：人格是最高的学位 文章导读：“人格是最高的学位”，要想做一名优秀的节目主持人，首先要学会怎样去做一个优秀的人。 很多年前，有一位学大提琴的年轻人去向20世纪最伟大的大提琴家卡萨尔斯讨教：我怎样才能成为一名优秀的大提琴家？卡萨尔斯面对雄心勃勃的年轻人，意味深长地回答：先成为优秀而大写的人，然后成为一名优秀而大写的音乐人，再然后就会成为一名优秀的大提琴家。 听到这个故事的时候，我还年少，对老人回答中所透露出的含义理解不多。然而，在以后的工作生涯中，随着采访接触的人越来越多，这个回答在我脑海中便越印越深。 在采访北大教授季羡林的时候，我
听到一个关于他的真实故事。有一年秋天，北大新学期开学，一个外地来的学子背着大包小包走进了校园，实在太累了，就把包放在路边。这时正好一位老人走来，年轻学子就拜托老人替自己看一下包，自己则轻装去办理手续。老人爽快地答应了。近一个小时过去，学子归来，老人还在尽职尽责地看守着。学子谢过老人，两人分别。几日后北大举行开学典礼，这位年轻的学子惊讶地发现，主席台上就座的北大副校长季羡林，正是那一天替自己看行李的老人。 我不知道这位学子当时是一种怎样的心情，但我听过这个故事之后却强烈地感觉到：人格才是最高的学位。后来，我又在医院采访了世纪老人冰心。我问她：您现在最关心的是什么？老人的回答简单而感人：是老年病人的状况。 当时的冰心已接近自己人生的终点，而这位在“五.四运动”中走上文学之路的老人，对芸芸众生的关爱之情历经80年的岁月而仍然未老。这又该是怎样
的一种传统！ 冰心的身躯并不强壮，然而她这生却用自己当笔，拿岁月当稿纸，写下了一篇关于爱是一种力量的文章，在离去之后给我们留下了一个伟大的背影。 当你有机会和经过“五.四”或受过“五.四”影响的老人接触，你就知道，历史和传统其实一直离我们很近。这些世纪老人身上所独具的人格魅力是不是也该作为一种传统被我们延续下去呢？ 不久前，我在北大又听到一个有关季先生的清新而感人的新故事。一批刚刚走进校园的年轻人，相约去看季羡林先生，走到门口，却开始犹豫，他们怕冒失地打扰了先生，最后决定每人用竹子在季老家门口的地上留下问候的话语，然后才满意地离去。 这该是怎样美丽的一幅画面！在季老家不远，是北大的伯雅塔在未名湖中留下的投影，而在季老家门口的问候语中，是不是也有先生的人格魅力在学子心中留下的投影呢？
