1 / 16 英语比赛演讲稿 If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. Its the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. Its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. 2 / 16 Its the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. Its been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and hes fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nations promise in the months ahead. I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man 3 / 16 who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nations next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy thats coming with us to the White House. And while shes no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what youve sacrificed to get it done. 4 / 16 But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you. I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didnt start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington - it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. 英语比赛演讲稿 (范文二 ) Our common destiny “ We are made wise not by the recollections of the past but by our responsibility for the future” -George Bernard Shaw China is faced with some enormous challenges as it enters the1st century. In order to ensure the prosperity of our nation and its future generations we 5 / 16 must confront and ultimately solve these challenges. Some of the more pressing issues facing China are universal. These include environmental degradation, over population and the effects of globalization. To overcome some of the things we need to implement include: Enhancing our scientific and industrial technologies in such areas as IT, Bio- tech, AI and Cybernetics. Further develop public infrastructure in under developed regions. Promote education reform at all levels. Introduce sustainable development initiatives. The implementation of free trade agreement between China and ASEAN. 6 / 16 The benefit to China in introducing these initiatives will be significant and far-reaching. It is important to realize that these initiatives need to filter down through all elements of the society in China. For instance, cutting edge technologies and intellectual properties; the development of e-commerce based economy; an education system that encourages innovation and creativity; increased foreign investment; higher living standards; more efficient use of natural resources. It is important for us to realize these reforms are both essential and necessary. These will help China to fulfill its vast and unrealized potential on the world stage. It will also contribute more to a globalized world of the new century. As for the future our task is not to foresee but to enable. 我们的共同命运 7 / 16 “ 我们并不是靠回忆过去而变得睿智，我们之所以明智是由于我们有对未来的责任感 ” 。 中国在迈向二十一世纪的同时，也面临着一些巨大的挑战，为了确保我国的繁荣及为子孙后代着想，我们必须面对挑战并最终从根本上解决它们。 一些中国即将面临的挑战迫切的问题是全球普遍存在的。这些问题包括环境恶化，人口过剩及全球化的影响。为了解决这些问题，我们需 要实施以下措施： (1)提高并增强我们的科学及产业技术，如在信息技术产业，生物技术领域，人工智能以及神经机械学领域 ; (2)加快推动欠发达地区的公共设施建设 ; (3)促进不同层次的教育改革 ; (4)使可持续发展的观念深入人心 ; (5)推行中国与东南亚联盟的自由贸易协定。 8 / 16 中国将受益于积极主动的采取具有重要深远意义的措施。认识到这些措施需要实施到中国社会的各个层面是重要的，从而带 来广泛且深远的各种改善，如：边缘科技及知识产权 ;发展以电子商务为基础的经济 ; 一种鼓励发明与创造的教育体制 ;更多的外国投资 ; 更高的生活水平 ;更加有效的利用自然资源。 我们要意识到各项改革措施是根本的也是有必要的。这些将会促进中国在世界舞台上实现其巨大且尚未实现的潜力。 这也将会对全球化的新世纪做出贡献。 至于未来，我们的任务不是去预知未来，而是努力去使其成为现实。 英语比赛演讲稿 (范文三 ) My Definition of Success “Once upon a time ， there was a king who had a 9 / 16 daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the kings palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the kings palace came a handsome young prince. Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princesss hand triumphantly. And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line And they live happily every after. Why arent we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by 10 / 16 the ordeals the youth goes through; and ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage. The story not only caters to everyones inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his fathers millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term success, to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy. If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not 11 / 16 give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenals defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes. The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. Thats why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science. I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage 12 / 16 to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating. Let us return to our handsome young prince and the-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too. 13 / 16 Thank you. 成功之我见 “ 很久以前，有个国王，他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战，而每一项任务都异常艰巨，几乎不可能完成。一天，来了一位年轻英俊的王子 ” 好了，下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同，但关键部分的情节都如出一辙 :王子成功地过关，得到了公主的芳心。而故事的结局也都一样，最后一句都写道 :“ 从此他们幸福地生活在一起。 为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际 ,而我要说 ,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢 ?这样的故事又如何能够经历 几代人的重复 ?我想，因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强，具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示，我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤 ;第一，目标的设定，有如故事里美丽的公主
