解的事情，我们小孩则会追逐嬉戏，甚至蹲在桌子下面玩捉迷藏。当我长大一些后，我姑姑带回了她的男友，一个高高的、腼腆的男人，我奶奶则很高兴地，给圆桌又加了个座位。圆桌似乎变得更拥挤了一些，但我们却感觉到：我们和这个家庭的新成员更亲近了。在我十二岁那年，爷爷因为癌症去世了。但当我们全家再次团聚时，爷爷的的椅子、碗筷仍旧放在原处，尽管他的座位是空着的，但这会让我们觉得，他从未离开我们。我们每个人的家里都有这样一张桌子，它是家人团聚的象征，代表着我们的情感和与家之间的羁绊。然而，事实上在中国，几乎所有事情都可以在圆桌上解决：爱人间的婚姻誓言、对于逝者的哀悼、生意伙伴间的磋商以及招待别国首脑的国宴，这些都可以发生在圆桌上。所以，我开始琢磨对于我们来说，圆桌究竟意味着什么，它对我们来说，又起着哪些作用。而圆桌的真正意义，也开始在我面前展现出来：桌上的食物可能会因时而变，桌边的人可能来了又走，我们团聚的原因可能形形色色，但圆桌背后的感觉，却年年岁岁、不曾改变，而这正是我们对不同的人的包容，是我们拥抱不同文化与艺术形式的意愿，是我们给予家庭、社区、国家乃至整个世界的关怀、爱与尊重。在不到两个月内，一年一度的史诗级大迁徙将在中国发生，数以百计的人：男男女女，老老少少，富人与穷人，像我爷爷一样的逝者以及在世者，都会试图回到家中，并且走向圆桌，与他们的家人团聚。驱使着他们这样做的动力，恰恰是数千年来维系着中华文明的力量。我们的生命，甚至我们国家的历史，一直以来，便是一段段奔向圆桌归处的故事。一直以来，圆桌都是中国式情感的象征，从前是、现在是、未来永远都是。谢谢大家。第二篇演讲稿《中国龙》一、中英对照（1）演讲稿ChineseDragon中国龙OneofthesymbolsofChinawouldbetheChinesedragon.WhenIwaslittle,Iusedtogotothebazaarnearmyhousewithmymom.Now,thisiswhatIbelievetobeoneofthecollectivememoriesoftheChinesepeopleincludingyouguyssittingdownthere.ThatisduringsomeoftheChinesefestivalstherewillbepeopleperformingthedragondancing.NowthatwasmyfirstencounterwiththeideaofaChineseDragon.中国龙是中国的重要象征之一。小时候，我常跟着妈妈去家附近的集市。我想，这大概也是包括在座的各位在内的中国人共同的记忆之一——每逢中国传统节日，总会有舞龙表演。那便是我第一次接触到“中国龙”这个概念。SobeforeIbecameawareoftheimportanceofsuchacreaturetomynationanditsvariousimplications,thefirstperceptionthatIeverhadisthataChineseDragonwouldonlyberaisedupwithacombinedandunitedeffortsoftenormoreperformers.AfterIgrewup,Ibegantolearnsomethingabouthistory.AnditwasonlyatthattimethatIrealizedthatapartfromthespiritofunity,theconceptofChineseDragonisinseparatefromtheChinesecultureinmanyotherways.在我了解到这种生物对中华民族的重要意义及其各种象征之前，我对它的最初印象就是：一条中国龙需要十多名表演者齐心协力才能舞动起来。长大后，我开始学习历史。直到那时我才意识到，除了团结精神之外，中国龙的概念还在许多其他方面与中国文化密不可分。TheimageoftheChinesedragonemergedmorethansixthousandyearsago.Andwiththedevelopmentofhistory,itsshapehasbeenchangingconstantlyfromtheshaperesemblingasnaketoprettyrecentlytheshapeofacombinationofdifferentcreaturessuchasfish,pig,horse,etc.Andthiscombinationisaccompaniedbyaformingoftheconsensusofthepeoplelivingonthisland.Asparticipantsofacollectiveculturalexperience,wecallourselvestheDescendantsofDragon.WeworshipdragoninamassivenationalscaleandsometimesweseethedragonasthesymbolofourChinesepeople.中国龙的形象诞生于六千多年前。随着历史的发展，它的外形不断演变——从最初类似蛇的形态，逐渐演变成近代融合了鱼、猪、马等多种动物特征的模样。这种融合伴随着生活在这片土地上的人民共识的形成。作为集体文化记忆的参与者，我们自称“龙的传人”。我们整个国家都对龙怀有崇敬之情，有时也将龙视为中华民族的象征。TheChineseDragonrepresentsthespiritsofinclusiveness.Throughitsthousandsofyearsofhistory,theshapeoftheChineseDragonhasbeenchangingconstantlyandgonethroughtheimpactofseveralforeigninfluencers,suchastheIndianBuddhism.Butinsteadofrejectingthemdowntotally,ourChinesepeoplehavebeenopenmindedenoughtowelcomethemandformanewpatternoutofthisshape.中国龙象征着包容精神。在数千年的历史长河中，中国龙的形态不断变化，并经历了多次外来文化的影响，例如印度佛教。但我们的民族并没有彻底排斥这些外来影响，而是以开放的心态接纳它们，并在此基础上塑造出中国龙如今的新形象。TheChineseDragonalsorepresentsthebalanceduseofone'spower.InthetraditionalChinesecultures,thedragonhaswithitselfcapacityofchangingtheweatherandchangingtheseason.Butithasenoughwisdomtopreventitselffromabusingitsownpower.Andthatisalsowhatournationhasbeendoing.Weuseourpowertomaintainpeaceratherthanstartwars.SothatiswhyIbelievethattheChinesedragonwouldbestrepresentsourcountryinitstruestforms.中国龙还象征着对力量的平衡运用。在中国传统文化中，龙拥有呼风唤雨、调控季节的能力。但它拥有足够的智慧，不会滥用自己的权力。这也是我们国家一直以来践行的准则：我们运用力量维护和平，而非发动战争。因此我认为，中国龙最能从本质上代表我们的国家。（2）现场追问Follow-upQuestion1:追问1：DoyouknowthedifferencebetweenChinesedragonandalltheotherdragons?Likewesterndragon?Whatarethose?你知道中国龙与其他龙的区别吗，比如西方龙？它们分别是什么？Answer1:回答1：SuchaswewatchedtheHarryPotterfilmthattheHarryPotterwasplayingtheQuidditchandtherewillbetheevildragonwiththefirefromtheirmouthandsomethinglikethat.That’stheimageofthewesterndragon.就比如我们看《哈利·波特》电影里，哈利·波特在打魁地奇的时候，会出现从嘴里喷火的恶龙，诸如此类的形象。那就是西方龙的形象。备注："魁地奇"是《哈利·波特》魔法世界中由巫师们骑着飞天扫帚参加的球类比赛。比赛中双方各派7名球员（包括1名守门员、3名追球手、2名击球手及1名找球手），通过操控三种魔法球类（鬼飞球、游走球、金色飞贼）展开对抗，最终以抓取金色飞贼获得150分并终结比赛为获胜条件。Follow-upQuestion2:追问2：Sonowyouseetheproblem:IfyoutalktowesternersandsaidChinalikeaDragon,whatdoyouthinkthatwesternerswillthink?现在你明白问题的关键了：如果你对西方人说中国像一条龙，你觉得他们会怎么想？Answer2:回答2：That'sexactlywhatI'mtryingtotalkabout.Youseethat,weseethatthere'sadifferencebetweentheconceptionbetweenourdragonandthewesterndragons.ButalsoletmeclearthatonethingthatinBritishculture,peoplevaluetheravenasaverysacredbeingintheBritishempire.ButinChineseculture,weseethattheravenisnotsuchagoodthingitbringsbadluck.So,it’sallabouttheconnectionbetweentheintellectionsofdifferentcultures.WebegantoknowthatravenisnotsomethingthatissobadandthewesternerswouldknowthatourChineseDragonactuallyrepresentsharmony.这正是我想探讨的重点。您看，我们都意识到中国龙与西方龙在概念上存在差异。但请允许我澄清一点：在英国文化中，乌鸦被视为大英帝国极为神圣的存在；而在中国文化中，乌鸦却是不祥之兆，会招来厄运。这正体现了不同文化认知体系的差异。我们逐渐会认识到乌鸦并非全然不祥之物，而西方人也终将明白，中国龙其实象征着和谐。Follow-upQuestion3:追问3：Sothat'sexactlyreasonwhyBritishwillnotuseravenastheirsymbol.Imeantheyseeitasagoodthingbuttheywillnotsay:“Hey!Lookatus,weBritishareraven!”Theydon'tsaythatorsomething.So,betweenPandaandDragon,whichonewouldyouthinkwillbetterrepresentChina?所以这正是英国人不把乌鸦作为象征的原因。我的意思是，他们虽然认为乌鸦是吉祥之物，但不会说：“嘿！看我们，我们英国人就是乌鸦！”他们不会这么说，或者类似的话。那么，在熊猫和龙之间，你认为哪一个更能代表中国？Answe
