关于两分钟英语演讲稿范文(精选12篇)关于两分钟英语演讲稿范文篇1Soy food good for womenWomen who ate soy regularly as children have a lower risk of breast cancer, American researchers report. And men who eat fish several times a week have a lower risk of colon cancer, a second team of researchers have told the American Association for Cancer Research.The studies add to a growing body of evidence about the role of diet in cancer. Cancer experts now believe that up to two-thirds of all cancers come from lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet and lack of exercise.The US National Cancer Institute and researchers at the University of Hawaii found that women who ate the most soy-based foods, such as tofu and miso, when aged 5 to 11, reduced their risk of developing breast cancer by 58 per cent. It was not clear how soy might prevent cancer, though compounds in soy called isoflavones have estrogen-like effects.A second study showed that men who ate fish at least five times a week had a40 per cent lower risk of developing colorectal cancer compared with men who ate fish less than once a week.Many kinds of fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which interfere with the cyclooxygenase-2 or COX-2 enzyme. COX-2 affects inflammation, which may play a role in tumour growth.据美国研究人员报告,儿童时期经常吃豆类食品的女性患乳腺癌的风险较小。
华裔美国人英语文学概况*外交学院·范守义国弱真难讲。
华侨到异邦。
阻留候审困山房。
供一不符案死绑。
总唔放。
同胞呼冤枉。
志在严禁拨返港。
可怜梓里泪汪汪。
(歌九)1华人文学之滥觞或许可以追溯到旧金山湾区天使岛上的木屋里,那里是自1882年美国通过《排华法案》以后,拘禁抵美华人,进行审讯的地方;这种拘留可长达数周,乃至一年之久。
这里生活条件极差,毫无隐私可言,被拘禁在这里的华人在忍无可忍的时候,走上不归之路。
一些有文化的华人在木屋中的墙壁上留下一首首诗歌,以抗议美国政府执行如此非人道的排华政策。
这些诗歌被后人保留下来,得以流传至今。
华人文学可以根据语言载体而划分为华文文学和英语文学两大支流。
我们这里所要介绍的是在美华人使用英语写作的自传、传记、小说、报告文学、剧本和一些应属于社会学的专著等。
基本上我们是按照作品的出版时间顺序对这些华裔作家和他们的作品进行介绍的。
我们选择的原则是这些作品反映了不同的历史时期,代表着不同的生活背景或来自不同的群体,有一定的社会影响。
这些作品多数是以作者自己的生活经历为主要的创作的源泉。
我们希望通过华裔美国人或旅美华人的特定视角,考察美国社会的诸多侧面,去认识那块曾经吸引过许多淘金者,且今天仍吸引着“淘金者”的土地。
一百多年前,有一群留着辫子的中国少年留学生来到美国的康涅狄格州的哈特福特市。
有一个孩子叫李恩富(Yan Phou Lee,1861-1938?),字少弼,广东香山人,是容闳组织的第二批(1873年)留美学习的幼童之一,时年十三岁。
1881年他与其他留学生全部被清廷召回,数年后李恩富自己返美,继续其学业,1897年毕业于容闳的母校耶鲁大学。
他用英语写作的《我在中国的童年》(When I Was a Boy in China)发表于1887年,比他的老师容闳的作品早了22年。
这部单薄的小书当是最早用英语写出的华人传记作品,并在美国的波士顿出版。
当然这部作品的影响不大而主要内容都讲的是在中国发生的事情。

关于美国的英语演讲稿篇一:美国文化演讲稿,英文版PresentationI’m glad to show you mine presentation today. And now let’s see some pictures. What are they? Maybe you’ll say “ads”. But do you see the slogans on them? Just as this one “Obey your thirst”.With the development of material prosperity, advertisements have become more and more important in our daily life.Advertisements give latest information about products. But some people think that advertisements don’t give much information but only try to persuade customers to buy. May be what mentioned above is the citizens’ view about advertisement.So, what I want to say is that we can pay more attention on advertising slogans, and some of them give us some inspiration.We might as well take a look.First I want to share my favorite slogan with you. It’s the slogan of the Hennessy. “To me, the past is black and white, but the future is always color.” Justas the slogan said, I hold the view that a person can’t be always lost in the past, and no matter how happy or terrible the past is, the future is worthy to be expected. This slogan gives a clear picture of the life that every successful person who want to realize the dream.Besides, there’s another slogan, “Start Ahead”.I believe that most of us are familiar with its Chinese meaning “成功之路,从头开始”. Iargue that wherever we go and whatever we meet, this sentence is full of power and wisdom.The other one is the slogan of Canon. As it said, “impossible made possible.” When we are in case of emergency or we meet difficulties at the critical stage of our life, it’s a good choice for us to use the slogan for encouragement.There’re also many slogans which deserve to be thought about. For example, “intelligence everywhere,”“the relentless pursuit of perfection,” and the most famous one “just do it”.Maybe we’ll forget them after the first time we heard them or maybe we could seldom remember them unlessin a special situation. In my opinion, since we have so many excellent advertising slogans, we have every reason to make full use of the social resources.In other words, after we enjoy the happiness and know about the introduction of the products, we should take in the wisdom and the truth which behind them.Thank you, it’s all my presentation.篇二:介绍美国英文演讲稿篇一:美国文化之节日介绍演讲稿(英文版)the american heritage festival1. united states is a cultural powers. short but rich history and unique it makes for an ethnic melting pot, and bring together theworlds culture. if the thought of this huge social and human treasures of get in, we may wish to take a short cut, that is, on his holiday to be a general understanding of the culture, because it is a microcosm of the festival.2. day(情人节情人节)(february valentines day(情人节)(february 14)3.november 1, halloween is the tradit(原文来自:小草范文网:关于美国的英语演讲稿)ional festivalof the west. halloween, namely 31 october night, children enjoy a good time to play. as night fell, the children put on colorful costume, and wore a mask of all sorts, put on a pumpkin lampran out to play.packed with parity, the demons were dressed up as children of mobile pumpkin lamp, ran to a neighbors door, intimidation, like shouting: to trick or treat and give money or to eat. if the adults do not have to change for the hospitality they candy, and those naughty boy just talk the talk: well, youre not playing entertaining, i you.4. november 4th thursday is thanksgiving. on thanksgiving day, the united states the whole fun, people follow the customs of the prayer of thanksgiving to the church, and rural towns are nearby, theatrical performances or sporting events, etc. continues for another year of relatives will return from many, one family luck, taste the delicious thanksgiving turkey.christmas is the most typical christmas tree decorations, people in a small fir or pine filled with gifts and lantern, the top of the tree with a big star.篇二:美国文化演讲稿,英文版presentationi’m glad to show you mine presentation today. and now let’s see some pictures. what are they?

本篇⽂章是为您整理的英语演讲稿怎么开头(范例三篇),供⼤家阅读与鉴赏。
英语演讲稿怎么开头 演讲的开头,也叫开场⽩。
它在演讲稿的结构中处于显要的地位,具有特殊的作⽤。
演讲稿的开头,通常有以下⼏种: 1)开门见⼭,揭⽰主题 ⼀般政治性的或者学术性的演讲稿都是开门见⼭,直接揭⽰演讲的中⼼。
⽐如宋庆龄《在接受加拿⼤维多利亚⼤学荣誉法学博⼠学位仪式上的讲话》的开头:“我为接受加拿⼤维多利亚⼤学荣誉法学博⼠学位感到荣幸。
” 运⽤这种⽅法,必须先明确把握演讲的中⼼,把要向听众揭⽰的论点摆出来,使听众⼀听就知道讲的中⼼是什么,注意⼒马上集中起来。
但这种⽅法容易显得过于平淡、冷静,很难吸引⼈。
2)说明情况,介绍背景。
⽐如恩格斯《在马克思墓前的讲话》的开头:“三⽉⼗四⽇两点三刻,当代最伟⼤的思想家停⽌了思想,……--但已经永远的睡着了。
” 这个开头对事情发⽣的时间地点⼈物作出了必要的说明,为进⼀步向听众揭⽰论题做准备。
运⽤这种⽅法开头,⼀定要从演讲的的中⼼论点出发,不能信⼝开河,离题万⾥,更要防⽌套话、空话,败坏听者的胃⼝。
3)提出问题,引起关注。
写演讲稿的开头,可根据听众的特点和演讲的内容,提出⼀些激发听众思考的问题,以引起听众的兴趣。
这种问题应该新颖、独特,确实能促使听众去思考。
演讲稿的开头有多种⽅法,通常⽤的主要有: 1.开门见⼭,提⽰主题。
这种开头是⼀开讲,就进⼊正题,直接提⽰演讲的中⼼。
例如宋庆龄《在接受加拿⼤维多利亚⼤学荣誉法学博⼠学位仪式上的讲话》的开头:“我为接受加拿⼤维多利亚⼤学荣誉法学博⼠学位感到荣幸。
”运⽤这种⽅法,必须先明晰地把握演讲的中⼼,把要向听众提⽰的论点摆出来,使听众⼀听就知道讲的中⼼是什么,注意⼒马上集中起来。
2.介绍情况,说明根由。
什么是writing sample 或research proposal发布时间: 2008-3-19 9:54:00Writing Sample(写作范例)是论文性的文章,一般和所申请的方向相关,长度要求从2页到30页不等,主要是考查申请人的思考能力、学术潜力和写作能力。
有些学校的文史类或社会科学类专业会要求提交Writing Sample,比如文化研究类、教育学、社会学、政治学、传媒、经济学、法学等。
而Research Proposal(研究计划书)主要说明申请人拟研究领域和方向、具体的研究课题、将采用的研究方法、研究进度安排、研究成果的实际应用价值等。
胖豆谈writing sample写作前一段时间忙着考试,昨天考完了,周日jiyuanben大叔组织的聊天活动,由于事先安排的旅行时间冲突不能来了,对不起大家,最近看到很多关于writing sample写作的帖子,偶就谈谈自己的一些看法和建议吧,希望对08fall友们有一定的帮助,弥补一下。
关于米国申请中需要的writing sample,首先说一下他指的是什么,根据一些院校网站上的要求是sample of your academic written works,说泛一点,可以是你写过的任何一篇(或数篇,根据要求)学术论文。
偶在和自己申请08fall的同学聊到WS写什么东西的时候,给他列了几个选择,也是给大家的一些建议:第一类,中文期刊、学位论文的翻译就是将你在中文论文进行翻译,要注意翻译时专业词汇的选择和格式的统一,关于格式最后再仔细谈。
如果是对国内硕士论文的翻译,那就得考虑学校关于字数的限制了,全文翻译可能就超出了限制,所以得选择章节,而且能够概括。
第二类,英文期刊、会议论文,英文专业本硕毕业论文,海外兵团的课程论文和学位论文有牛人在英文国际期刊发表了,那敢情好直接作为你的sample;会议论文得将你的presentation转换为report了;英文专业的本科硕士毕业论文是英文的,可以直接用,但建议进一步修改和完善;越来越多的海外兵团出现,对于这个群体,可以使用自己很满意得分高也与自己申请专业有关的课程论文作为你的sample,因为毕竟经过鬼子的评价,根据评价做调整,同样海外硕士MA THESIS也可以选择chapter作为申请材料的一部分,套磁阶段可以将MA THESIS 的电子版发给老师看,如果是相同领域。

随着美国的独立,以及其在政治、经济、军事、文化和科学技术等多个领域的主导地位,美国英语在国际舞台扮演着世界性语言的角色,可见学习美国英语以及了解其特色是十分必要的。
本文首先从美国英语的起源、发展和独立三个方面阐述了美国英语,接着分析了美国英语的统一性和因循守旧的特性,浅析了美国英语的委婉、俚语、创新、词汇等特色,并结合例子宏观地进行详细介绍,以期更清晰直观地了解和认识美国英语,希望能为学习者提供帮助。
关键词:美国英语;英语特色;语言融合;语言发展Abstract:Nowadays,English is spoken by hundreds of millions of people as their mother language or the second one and used in more than thirty countries or places. Different countries and places, however, use the English,more or less,with a little different style,especially the American English. With the independence of the United States and its more and more important role in the international arena,the language used in this country became independent from its origin and had its own characteristics. Now the American English even plays the role of the universal language. Based on the historical perspective of the development of the language,this thesis analyzes the different stages and features of American English.Keywords:American English;The Characteristic of the English;The mixture of the language;Development;Independence一、美国英语概述(一)美国英语的起源17世纪初期,一批被称为“移民鼻祖”的欧洲人为了逃离了自己故土的宗教迫害,心中抱着对新世界的憧憬,乘船驶往北美寻找新大陆,经过六七十天的艰难航行,终于在马萨诸塞湾的科德角登陆,建立了以朴利茅斯命名的定居地,在这片广阔的土地上扎了根。
在当时的美洲大陆,还没有一个独立的政体和民族,甚至没有一个强大的部落在服装、语言和行为上来同化这些来自异域的人们。
在与北美生活栖息时间最早、资格最老的印地安人的交往中,这些移民并没有迎合当地人的语言,他们所带来的语言没有受到任何的冲击和改变,相反,随着继他们之后一批又一批的欧洲移民的到来,外来的语言在美洲大地撒下了种子,成为这个新大陆语言的根源。
这批清教徒以及陆续而来的移民,不管受教育的程度如何,根据历史时间推断,显然是操着17世纪的英国英语而来的。
著名历史学家约翰·菲斯克在《新英格兰的开端》中更是给了更精确的数字:“当时英国有40个郡的清教徒成批往外迁移,东英格兰的一些郡移出的人数最多,远远超出其他地区。
可以说,新英格兰的美国人中有三分之二的人祖籍在东英吉利。
”这样的数字给人最有说服力的结果是美国英语起源于17世纪的英国英语。
这个时期北美大陆的居民所使用的英语,从严格意义上说,甚至不能称之为英语的变体,只能是英语这个母体的一个地域分支。
在新生的土地上,因为没有历史的延承,它脱离了母体语言发展规律的干扰。
(二)美国英语的发展继第一批移民在北美大陆定居之后,17~18世纪,随着欧洲诸国及其他民族移民的大量涌入,美洲大陆的语言进入了它蓬勃发展的阶段。
这个特殊的移民阶段为美国英语的形成打下了坚实的基础,使美国英语开始有了自己的民族特色。
这个特色是任何其他民族所没有的,它就是各种移民语言的融合。
根据 1790 年美国第一次人口普查统计,全国人口390万,其中白人占80%以上,约320万。
在这个阶段到达美洲的主要是英国人、荷兰人、德国人、法国人、西班牙人、爱尔兰人、黑人和瑞典人。
他们的语言和文化也被美国这片移民的乐土所吸收着、容纳着,所以综观美国英语的发展,一直是同化和多元化同时进行,而同化和吸收占着主导的地位。
随着美国世界霸权地位的确立,由于成功的美国公共教育的作用,移民的子女在很短的时间内就被同化为美国人。
可以说美国语言的历史与其移民的历史是不可分割的,正是由于移民词汇和文化的融入,美国英语才有了自己的第一个民族特征,即语言的融合性。
美国素有“nation of nations”之称,他们的语言也一样,是各民族语言的大融合。
第二次世界大战后,英国和美国在世界上的地位、作用发生了巨大的变化。
因为美国经济、军事和科技在世界的领头作用,以及各种文化传播手段的成功运用,它的语言和文化大量地渗入世界各地。
和英国英语比起来,现在的美国英语再也不是什么二等英语了,它已经风靡全球,取代了英国英语的地位,成为全世界通用语言的新霸主。
(三)美国英语的独立1776年在费城召开的第二次大陆会议上宣布了《独立宣言》,这个宣言的发表标志着一个独立国家的诞生。
民族的独立也带动着民众语言独立意识的觉醒,一些民族主义者发起了语言独立的呼吁。
美国第三届总统托马斯·杰斐逊是《独立宣言》的起草人和美国独立革命的领导者,在美国英语走向独立的历史进程中也是一位功不可没的人物。
他认为美国英语不仅仅来自英国英语,它是美国多民族语言的融合体,它不是英国英语的延续,而是新世界、新国家民族融合与创新发展的共同结晶。
1828年,由诺亚·韦伯斯特所编写的《美国英语词典》出版了,这部词典成了美国英语独立的标志。
这是一本富有美国语言特色的词典。
这部词典在语音方面使美国英语有了自己的规范标准,在拼写方面也使美国英语在独立中有所创新,并逐渐得到把英语作为第二语言使用的人们认可。
二、丰富多彩的美国英语特色(一)美国英语的普遍统一性著名学者James F.Bneder在全国范围内做过一次调查,结果表明有百分之八十以上的美国人都说普通美语,语言上相互均能沟通。
于此形成鲜明对比的是,幅员不足美国四十分之一、人口也仅为其四分之一的英国,却是方言繁多,而且发音用词迥异。
1.美国英语不易受影响。
美国的早期移民,大多来自英国的中部、南部和伦敦地区;在英国,他们基本上属于同一社会阶层,而且讲的是同一种语言。
这些人到了美国,无论流动到何处,从事何种职业,他们坚持讲自己国家的语言。
2.美国英语是语言与文化的融合。
美国英语的统一性,就其地理位置而言,没有“方言”的隔阂,不同民族的国人都能像一家人一样,用同一语言沟通和交谈;就其社会性而言,没有种族和阶级的差异,为所有的美国人提供了一种平等的交际工具。
3.迁移促使美国英语达到统一。
在欧洲,农民的是很少有迁徙的,普遍是由于远足、求学、经商、传经、讲学、旅游和度假等原因,而远离故乡,所以在英国,郡与郡之间、南方与北方之间、城市与乡村之间,都存在不同的方言和口音;在美国,情形恰恰相反。
美国人的社会地位经常发生变化,没有永久的农民和贵族阶级。
暂时的贵族阶级相对稳定,而频繁流动的倒是百姓阶层。
正因为无数美国人经常迁移,四海为家,相互接触与交谈,才使得美国英语达到了惊人的一致。
在美国的一切成就中,没有任何其他的成就比美国英语的统一性性更有特色。
(二)美国英语的因循守旧上面所涉及的是美国英语的特点,这些特点也许已为广大英语读者所熟知了。
在此,笔昔想继续谈淡这些不太被人注意的美国英语因循守旧的方面,分别从词汇和发音两个方面进行说明。
1.在词汇方面。
美国人常常不用got这个词,而用旧的gotten形式,喜欢用learned 形式而不大用learnt这个字,有时用古体字whilst而不用while。
正如美国明尼苏达大学克拉克教授所说的,美国英语在某些方面比英国英语较为古旧。
举例来说,sike(有病的)、Bug(昆虫)、Loan(借出)、Fall(秋季)、Baggage(行李)、Elevator(电梯)、Gasoline(汽油)、Druggist(药剂师)、Jail(监狱)等这些美国常用的单字,原来都是英国人以前所用的,但以后英语本身发生了变化,在英国本土不使用这些字来分别表达上列意思,而分别用ill,worm,lead,autumn,luggage,lift,petrol,chemist,gaol等来表达这些概念。
从这个意义上来说 sike,bug,loan,fall,baggage,elevato,gasoline, druggist,jail 于是就成了废字,而美国人却继续使用它来表示这些意思,结果对同一概念或同一种事物,就形成了美国英语和英国英语两种不同的词汇。
2.在发音方面。
英语中有600个左右的单词,它们的元音字母a,过去英国人都读成〔æ〕,但自从18世纪末以来,英格兰南部居民开始把这个a念成〔a:〕而美国人则坚持用18世纪以前的发音,所以对于同一单词或短语,例如:path(小路),美国英语读成〔pæθ〕,而英国英语则念〔 pa:θ〕;I can't … (我不能…),美国英语读成〔ai'kænt〕,而英国英语则念成〔ai'ka:nt 〕;同样的例子有last master dance advance answer branch glass broadcast mask这些词中的字母a,美国人都念成〔æ〕。
由于美国喜欢用旧的发音,所以either念成〔'i:ðə〕而不念〔'aiðə〕,neither读〔'ni:ðə〕而不读〔'nai:ðə〕,把clerk 念成〔klə:k〕而不念〔kla:k〕。
