英语演讲稿——wealth财富范文

精选优质办公范文英语演讲稿wealth，财富第一篇：the word wealth always reminds people of money and the sayings or concepts related to money. for example, “money talks”; “money makes the ghosts turn the mill”; “as birds die for food, so men die for wealth”; “the poor have no friends even though they live in the noisy downtown, while the rich have remote kinsfolk even if they live in the deep mountains”; “poverty chills ambition” “one cent short may put a hero in an awkward situation” etc, etc.in the 1980 s, all shops were state-owned with marked prices. you couldnt buy what you wanted with even one cent short, so one cent could indeed embarrass a hero. a popular song at that time started “i picked up one cent at the roadside, and i handed it over to the policeman” but now no one cares to pick it up even if it were ten cents.peoples reverence for money is expressed in varied ways. the names of companies or stores are often “beer of wealth and honor”, “restaurant of wealth and rank” “store of the aristocrats” “hotel of fame and prestige” etc. . at new years time, the god of wealth is worshiped and the picture of the god is covered with signs of money. when a millionaire is walking in the street, people will show their profound respect even though they know very well that they can not get a cent from him. the english film “the million-pound note” makes a most vivid revelation of this situation. with the million pound note in hand, the hero has the privilege to buy on credit, or on loan and is even presented money from others. its an idealized end of the story that the hero is still loved by his girl friend even after he lost his million-pound note. however, without the million-pound note, they couldnt have known each other. its very difficult for people to make friends directly with beggars.the song of “all good things must end” in a dream of the red mansions attacks the money worshipers by saying:“all men long to be immortalsyet silver and gold they prizeand grub for money all their livestill death seals up their eyes”but when chen shih-yin tries to expound this song by analyzing the inconstancy of human relationships and the incomprehensible human heart, he has to say:“while men with gold and silver by the chestturn beggars, scorned by all and dispossessed”the conclusion is that it doesnt work without money.in spite of the human civilizations over thousands of years, people can not deny the function of money. this shows how important money is. money plays a decisive role to individuals, to families and even to countries or nationalities. otherwise, why is everyone, from doorkeepers to presidents, trying to earn as much as possible? why does every country need chancellors of the exchequer, who keep formulating and revising financial laws and regulations? how different it is to be a creditor nation and a debtor nation! the united states is playing the tyrant just because it is wealthy enough. a poor man may cherish lofty aspirations, but will probably be beaten because of his poverty. the afghanistan may have won a lot of sympathy, but how difficult it would be to live solely on charity.of all ages and in every country, all kinds of corruption stem from money. no matter how rough the man is, and in what despicable way he earned the money, he can grease the palms of or buy over some very decent officials or even intellectuals. can you see how crucial a role money is playing?some people or organizations like some religious groups claim that they have seen through the human vanity and can take money lightly, but to peoples puzzlement, they are also accumulating money, either to renovate the temples, or to regild buddhas statues, in whatever pretexts. they are not engaged in production, so they can only depend on the donations from the devout believers. sometimes your sincerity relies on whether you donate and how much you donate. do the monks care about money? the answer is affirmative. whats more, many monks are already provided with a salary.we are living in a material world, and its really difficult to deny the function of money or wealth. we need money for food, clothes, education, hospital, housing and transportation, etc. theres rarely anything that doesnt need money. what we can discuss now is not the importance of money, but whether money is almighty and whether more wealth can bring us more happiness.we must say that money is not almighty, and there are many things which money cant do. for example, many emperors like qin shihuang longed for elixirs. as wealthy as they were, and as mighty as they were to take every measure to search for long life medicine, they still could not avoid the sad denouement that “their graves are a covered with weeds”.many great men suffered from fatal illness. even though they were treated with the best medical means, they had to suffer as much as the ordinary people, and met with the same inescapable fate. rich or poor, great or ordinary, we come and go with nothing belonging to us.huang shiren, the cruel hearted landlord, was rich but xier would rather hid in the deep mountains and turn into a white-hired girl than marrying him;wang baochuan wouldnt give up her marriage with xue pinggui even though she had to live in the cold cave for over ten years;emperor shunzhi of the qing dynasty owned the whole country, but just because of the death his beloved concubine, he eventually became disillusioned with this world and spent the rest of life in the temple as a monk .many love stories can never be bought with money. the ever-lasting folktale of liang shanbo and zhu yingtai shows peoples identification with this point of view.wealthy men also have a lot of worries: afraid of being stolen or kidnapped, they may have to hire a bodyguard; theyre concerned about their spoiling the children, or worry about the family discord because of the legacy disputes after their death; fearing devaluation if they dont invest, while fearing of bankrupt if they invest; where is their happiness?how much is enough?

no limitation. as poor as beggars without a penny, they can make a living by begging. its said that some have become millionaires through begging. as wealthy as a billionaire, they can only enjoy a couple of dishes each meal. if someone is allergic to seafood, or tired of rich dishes, he may enjoy the pickled vegetables just as much.as for money, people can take it easy sometimes, but most of the time, they cant. in theory, they may take it easy while in practice, they usually take it very seriously; talking about others, they can take it easy, but to themselves, they take it seriously again. some people take it seriously for one moment, but may take it easy afterwards, just as we said what is hidden from the concerned is plain to the bystanders. most people take money too seriously when being involved. in fact, as long as you have enough to eat, what is the difference between a little and a lot?everything has a limit, so does money. we should conform to the course of the nature in stead of going out of our way to grasp it. we should spend according to our income. the rich may enjoy much more luxuries but no less worries than the poor. the only difference is the content and form of worries. the higher the income is, the bigger the expenditure is. the world famous boxers may earn millions of dollars for one game, but often find themselves deep in debt. with an annual salary as high as tens of thousands of dollars, the former president of the united states bill clinton ran into debts because of lawsuit, and had to throw off his airs to earn money in every mean. however, the monthly income of some of the chinese families is no more than a few hundred yuan while leading a life with enjoyment. happiness doesnt necessarily rely on money.according to the western fable the gold touch, a king was very fond of gold and prayed to god for more gold everyday. to teach him a lesson, god imparted the gold touch to him. from then on, whatever he touched turned into gold, including bread, milk, flowers, and even his beloved daughter. he couldnt eat gold, of course, nor could he lose his daughter. in the end, he repented his sin, pleaded god to take the gold touch back and went back to his former happy life again. this story is a little exaggerated, but at the same time it told us vividly that wealth and happiness are not synonym. whats more, no matter how much money you have, you cant spend it all.being poor is not because someone is penniless, but mainly because of the lonely misery in his inner world. they are green-eyed, because they are never satisfied with what they have, but are always jealous of people who are successful or who earn higher salaries. they never look at other peoples devotions and contributions, but with their habit of jealousy they always feel poor and uncomfortable. it is more difficult to solve internal poverty. suppose we can look back at the past with the concept of wealth, how can we stay poor? we may well say that wealth lies in your heart and we should know how to treasure it./p第三篇：财富篇wealth财富篇wealtha penny saved is a penny gained.richard brckminster fuller.american srchitect省下一分钱等于得到一分钱。美国建筑师富勒.r.b.all good things are cheap, all bad things are very dear.henry david thoreau, ameican writer一切好的东西都是便宜的，所有坏的东西都是非常贵的。美国作家梭罗。h.d.all the splendor in the world is not worth a good friend.voltaire, french thinker人世间所有的荣华富贵不如一个好朋友。法国思想家伏尔泰apply yourself to true riches; it is shameful to depend upon silver and gold for a happy life. lrcius annaeus seneca, ancient roman philosopher要争取真正的财富，靠金银谋取幸福是不光彩的。古罗马哲学家西尼加.l.a.an ounce of prudence is worth a pound of gold.tobias smollett, british writer一盎司谨慎抵得上一磅黄金。英国作家 .斯摩莱特 .t.beggars cannot be choosers.du bose heywood, american writer乞丐不能挑肥拣瘦。美国作家海伍德.d.b.beggars do not envy millionaires, though of course they will envy other beggars who are more successful.betrand russell, british philosopher乞丐并不羡慕百万富翁，尽管他们一定会羡慕比他们乞讨得多的乞丐。英国哲学家罗素.b.creditors have better memories than debtors.benjamin franklin. american president放债的比借债记性好。美国总统富兰克林。b.economy is in itself a source of at revenue.lucius annaeus seneca, ancient roman philosopher节约本身就是最大的收入 .罗马哲学家 西尼加，l.a.economy is the poor man s mint; and extravagance the rich man s pitfall.节约是穷人的造币厂，浪费是富翁的陷阱。英国作家 塔泊.mfew rich men own their property.the property owns them.robert en ingersoll. american iawyer极少富人拥有他们的财产，是财产拥有他们。美国律师英格索尔.r.g.he that has a full purse never lacks a friend. even in a busy market, nobody cares to know a poor person.anonymors富在深山有远亲；贫在闹市无人识。无名氏i finally know what distinguishes man from the other beasts:financial worries.jules renard, french playwright我终于明白人与野兽的区别在于：人为钱而担忧。法国剧作家勒纳尔.j.i would rather have my people laugh at my economies than weep for my extravagance. oscar ll, swedish king我宁愿让我的人民嘲笑我的的小气也不愿让他们为我的挥霍而哭泣。瑞典国王奥斯卡二世if rich, it is easy enough to conceal our wealth, but, if poor, it is not so easy to conceal our poverty. we shall find it less difficult to hide a thousand guineas, than one hole in our coat.charles c. colton, british clergyman如果富有，藏富很容易；如果贫穷，掩饰贫穷却很难。我们不难发现隐藏1000个金币比遮盖衣服上的一个破洞来得容易。英国画妆师科尔顿.c.cif you would know the value of money, go and try to borro
