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, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”
译文如下:
有人说“我们正在阅读一本书第一章的第一节,它的页数是无限的”。我不知道这些词是谁写的,但我一直喜欢这些词,以提醒人们未来可以是我们想要的任何东西。我们都处于农民的地位。如果我们种下一颗好种子,我们会收获一个好收成。如果我们什么都不种,我们什么都不收获。
我们很年轻。“如何度过青春?“这是一个有意义的问题。要回答这个问题,首先我必须问“你对青年这个词有什么理解?“青春不是人生的时光,而是一种心态。这不是脸颊红润、嘴唇红润或膝盖柔软的问题。这是意志的问题。这是生命深处春天的新鲜。
一位诗人说:“在一粒沙子里看到一个世界,在一朵野花里看到一个天堂,把握在你手中的是无限,永恒在一个小时内。几天前,我有机会听了一次讲座。我在那里学到了很多。我想和大家分享一下。让我们展示我们的右手掌。我们可以看到三个显示我们的爱情、事业和生活的线条。我的寿命很短。
你的呢?我想知道我们是否可以这样看待我们的未来。好吧,让我们打一拳。我们的未来在哪里?我们的爱情、事业和生活在哪里?告诉我。是的,它在我们手中。这是我们自己的事情。
我们都希望未来比过去更美好。但是未来会更好。
不要因为结束而哭泣,微笑吧,因为已经发生了。从过去,我们了解到生活是艰难的,但是我们更艰难。我们已经了解到我们不能选择自己的感受,但是我们可以选择如何去感受。失败并不意味着你没有它,而是意味着你应该以不同的方式去做。失败并不意味着你应该放弃,而是意味着你必须更加努力。
正如我在开头所说,“我们正在阅读一本书第一章的第一节,它的页数是无限的”。过去已经过去了。我们所做的一切都不会改变它。但是未来就在我们面前。相信我们给世界的东西,世界会给我们的。从今天起,让我们成为自己的主人,大声说“我们是世界,我们是未来”。

⑵ 一篇3--5分钟的励志英文演讲稿
有一个问题,我一直在思索:何为人生的意义?毕淑敏曾经说过,人生是没有任何意义的。或许听到这里的时候,你们会感到困惑,人生怎么会没有意义呢?而她的回答,令台下的学生记忆深刻:人生是没有任何意义的,但你要为之确立一个意义。细想开来,这比那些言不由衷的人生意义,更有思考的价值。回到现实当中来,我们作为学生,是否也在确立自己生命的意义呢?或许你们会说,我们都是高考的残兵败将,来上学只不过是父命难为。那么,我将替这些人感到悲哀。他们把自己的权利交给父母,而不是自己驾驭内心。这些人,外表看上去还很饱满,但脑子却是空空的,没有思想,没有追求,在我看来无异【www.ttshopping.net整理该文章,版权归原作者、原出处所有。】于一具行尸走肉。我真的很难明白,为什么游戏会令这些人通宵达旦,为什么电视剧会令他们难于自拔?可能他们连目标、自制力都没有吧。美国剧作家鲍西考尔特说:当人们在谈论如何消磨时间的时候,时间正在消磨他们。这让我想起了一个故事:温水中的青蛙。最后的下场,想必大家清楚。我有时甚至想冲他们大骂:你们干脆回家去好了,来上学,不仅浪费你父母的血汗钱,更浪费你宝贵的游戏时间。与其在课堂上呼呼大睡,不如回到家里躺在棺材里睡觉,这样比较好。可是,我没有,我无法对他们残酷,只能在这短短的演讲中,发出我这个学期可能的唯一的呐喊。李开复的第四封信——大学四年应该这样度过的开篇写到:大学是人生中最关键的阶段。他认为,进入大学的人,都应该掌握七项学习:自修之道,基础知识,实践贯通,兴趣培养,积极主动,掌握时间,为人处事。当然,我无法对你们要求太多,也没有资格要求你们。我只能要求自己,每天早上不要睡得太晚,至少在广播结束之前打开笔记本,看看邮件和博客,浏览一下新闻。你们就在床上安心地睡觉好了,不要早起来打扰我,让我度过最安静的精神独处。我不想玩,也没有再玩游戏了,或许我是全校唯一的一个游戏盲吧。虽然,我不会玩游戏遭人冷落,但是,我依然过的很高兴,精神上的高兴,而不是肤浅的在电脑前变傻。听到这里,你们当中一定有人感到愤怒。是啊,梦想的存在,是对没有梦想者的挑战和冒犯。看过徐小平的文字,一个人生命最重要的价值,不在于他现在是否成功,而在于他是否有成功的梦想,是否有为梦想奋斗的机会、权利和自由。试回想一下那些励志电影:风雨哈佛路、肖申克的救赎、阿甘正传,还有功夫熊猫。阿宝的梦想,尽管看上去遥不可及,但依然是一个支持他不被平庸生活淹没的精神支柱,一个不断给阿宝生活信心和兴趣的动力源泉。最后,他打败了那只豹子。我想,看完电影之后,大家的感想一定颇多,一定也会有笑过之后奋发向上的冲动。可是,后来呢,遗忘了,忘得一干二净。所以,我有必要重提你们听得都不想再听的两个字:坚持。世界上没有什么能与你坚持的力量相比,也没有什么力量使坚持变得徒劳,更没有什么可以诋毁或改变坚持的价值。或许你们不相信,但事实是,早起,我至少坚持到了现在。我想引用一下冰心的那首小诗:成功的花,人们只惊羡它现时的明艳,而当初的芽,却浸透了奋斗的泪泉,洒满了牺牲的血雨。百合花也明白,那是极深沉极欢喜所结的泪滴。我还想用俞敏洪的一段话:虽然我们现在什么都不是,但是只要你有树的种子,即使你被踩到泥土中间,你依然能够吸收泥土的养分,自己成长起来。李阳不是坚持疯狂成就疯狂吗?所以,我们每个人,都应该有梦想,有追求梦想的坚持。记住,心里有梦让你与众不同,不要把梦拴在别人的眼光中。最后,我还想再提一点就是修养。某年的哈佛迎新辞这样说:人可以没有教育,但不可以没有修养。有修养的人不一定有教育,有修养的人不一定都是大学毕业。所以,我希望你们,能优雅地生活着,至少不要影响别人,和谐地共处。如果这短短的演讲,能对你们今后一个月或是三年的人生有所改变,那么,我将感到非常欣慰。。谢谢提问者评价谢谢了。分给晚了,不好意思下... 评论 | 给力33不给力1

As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice where the light comes into your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize; feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day! And most importantly, it’s a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented(空前的) level.
In your mind’s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire(励志) to reach.
You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream. You can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. You can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being!
You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed!(效忠的) And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed!
You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions.
You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never succumb(屈服,屈从) to challenges of hardships.
You will never waver(动摇) in your pursuit of excellence. After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best!
As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part. You must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan; you must never quit and you must never fear. I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed! Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out:
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
⑸ 大学生有关电影的英文演讲稿。急用!!!
Pearl Harbor This movie has a lot of places I touched Charming music factors,Actor has a natural performance, and even the scripts have some small thoughts. But should not overlook the atmosphere and beautiful photography, a lot of places are highly thought of photography, such as the Japanese army used the ship from high altitude over the lens, very simply beautiful, I think well of "Pearl Harbor" , the most important thing is it came from initially very low expectations. Were always going to be so, when you put all the desire to minimize, you can let you feel the joy of things. A commercial tablets should be used on secular perspective.
翻译:珍珠港这部电影有很多地方我感动迷人的音乐因素,演员都有一个自然的表演,连一些小剧本的想法。但不应忽视的气氛和美丽的摄影,许多地方都高度认为是摄影,如日军,用镜头来自高空的船舶,很简单漂亮,我觉得好“珍珠港”,最重要的是它来自最初的期望很低。人总是如此,当你把所有的愿望减少,你可以让你感受到的东西的喜悦。一个商业片就应该用世俗的观点。

1、Keep Your Direction 坚持你的方向
What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.On your way to success, you must keep your direction.
It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
翻译:如果失败了你会怎么做?很多人可能会选择放弃。然而,要想成功,最可靠的方法就是坚持你的方向和目标。在通往成功的路上,你必须坚持你的方向。
它就像一盏灯,在黑暗中为你指路,帮助你度过难关。否则,你很容易就会迷失方向或犹豫不前。方向意味着目标。人生如果没有目标,将一事无成。
你可以试着把你的目标写在纸上,并制定实现目标的计划。这样,你就会懂得如何合理安排时间,如何正确地支配时间。而且你还要有这样的信念:只要你一直坚持自己的方向,你就一定可以成功。

⑼ 美国励志人物大学演讲稿中英文对照版,有哪些
Madam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today's graates,
尊敬的Faust校长,哈佛集团的各位成员,监管理事会的各位理事,各位老师,各位家长,各位朋友,以及最重要的各位毕业生同学,
Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you.
感谢你们,让我有机会同你们一起分享这个美妙的日子。
I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not a billionaire, but at least I am a nerd.
我不太肯定,自己够得上哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲人这样的殊荣。去年登上这个讲台的是,英国亿万身家的小说家J.K. Rowling女士,她最早是一个古典文学的学生。前年站在这里的是比尔•盖茨先生,他是一个超级富翁、一个慈善家和电脑高手。今年很遗憾,你们的演讲人是我,虽然我不是很有钱,但是至少我也算一个高手。
I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to me than you might care to imagine. You see, I was the academic black sheep of my family. My older brother has an M.D./Ph.D. from MIT and Harvard while my younger brother has a law degree from Harvard. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would be pleased. Not so. When I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, "That's nice, but when are you going to visit me next." Now, as the last brother with a degree from Harvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied.
我很感激哈佛大学给我荣誉学位,这对我很重要,也许比你们会想到的还要重要。要知道,在学术上,我是我们家的不肖之子。我的哥哥在麻省理工学院得到医学博士,在哈佛大学得到哲学博士;我的弟弟在哈佛大学得到一个法律学位。我本人得到诺贝尔奖的时候,我想我的妈妈会高兴。但是,我错了。消息公布的那天早上,我给她打电话,她听了只说:"这是好消息,不过我想知道,你下次什么时候来看我?"如今在我们兄弟当中,我最终也拿到了哈佛学位,我想这一次,她会感到满意。
Another difficulty with giving a Harvard commencement address is that some of you may disapprove of the fact that I have borrowed material from previous speeches. I ask that you forgive me for two reasons.
在哈佛大学毕业典礼上发表演讲,还有一个难处,那就是你们中有些人可能有意见,不喜欢我重复前人演讲中说过的话。我要求你们谅解我,因为两个理由。
First, in order to have impact, it is important to deliver the same message more than once. In science, it is important to be the first person to make a discovery, but it is even more important to be the last person to make that discovery.
首先,为了产生影响力,很重要的方法就是重复传递同样的信息。在科学中,第一个发现者是重要的,但是在得到公认前,最后一个将这个发现重复做出来的人也许更重要。
Second, authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who graated from Harvard at the age of 18, noted "All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients." Picasso declared "Good artists borrow. Great artists steal." Why should commencement speakers be held to a higher standard?
其次,一个借鉴他人的作者,正走在一条前人开辟的最佳道路上。哈佛大学毕业生、诗人爱默生曾经写下:"古人把我最好的一些思想都偷走了。"画家毕加索宣称"优秀的艺术家借鉴,伟大的艺术家偷窃。"那么为什么毕业典礼的演说者,就不适用同样的标准呢?
I also want to point out the irony of speaking to graates of an institution that would have rejected me, had I the chutzpah to apply. I am married to "Dean Jean," the former dean of admissions at Stanford. She assures me that she would have rejected me, if given the chance. When I showed her a draft of this speech, she objected strongly to my use of the word "rejected." She never rejected applicants; her letters stated that "we are unable to offer you admission." I have difficulty understanding the difference. After all, deans of admissions of highly selective schools are in reality, "deans of rejection." Clearly, I have a lot to learn about marketing.
我还要指出一点,向哈佛毕业生发表演说,对我来说是有讽刺意味的,因为如果当年我斗胆向哈佛大学递交入学申请,一定会被拒绝。我的妻子Jean当过斯坦福大学的招生主任,她向我保证,如果当年我申请斯坦福大学,她会拒绝我。我把这篇演讲的草稿给她过目,她强烈反对我使用"拒绝"这个词,她从来不拒绝任何申请者。在拒绝信中,她总是写:"我们无法提供你入学机会。"我分不清两者到底有何差别。在我看来,那些大热门学校的招生主任与其称为"准许你入学的主任",还不如称为"拒绝你入学的主任"。很显然,我需要好好学学怎么来推销自己。
My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, "The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself." So, here comes the advice. First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts ecation and will be the key to your success. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your ecation ring those late night discussions, hug them. Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you. Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don't bargain for the last, little advantage. Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that "credit" is not a conserved quantity. In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.
毕业典礼演讲都遵循古典奏鸣曲的结构,我的演讲也不例外。刚才是第一乐章----轻快的闲谈。接下来的第二乐章是送上门的忠告。这样的忠告很少被重视,几乎注定被忘记,永远不会被实践。但是,就像王尔德说的:"对于忠告,你所能做的,就是把它送给别人,因为它对你没有任何用处。"所以,下面就是我的忠告。第一,取得成就的时候,不要忘记前人。要感谢你的父母和支持你的朋友,要感谢那些启发过你的教授,尤其要感谢那些上不好课的教授,因为他们迫使你自学。从长远看,自学能力是优秀的文理教育中必不可少的,将成为你成功的关键。你还要去拥抱你的同学,感谢他们同你进行过的许多次彻夜长谈,这为你的教育带来了无法衡量的价值。当然,你还要感谢哈佛大学。不过即使你忘了这一点,校友会也会来提醒你。第二,在你们未来的人生中,做一个慷慨大方的人。在任何谈判中,都把最后一点点利益留给对方。不要把桌上的钱都拿走。在合作中,要牢记荣誉不是一个守恒的量。成功合作的任何一方,都应获得全部荣誉的90%。
Jimmy Stewart, as Elwood P. Dowd in the movie "Harvey" got it exactly right. He said: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be ... she always used to call me Elwood ... in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.'" Well, for years I was smart. ... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me on that.
电影《Harvey》中,Jimmy Stewart扮演的角色Elwood P. Dowd,就完全理解这一点。他说:"多年前,母亲曾经对我说,'Elwood,活在这个世界上,你要么做一个聪明人,要么做一个好人。'"我做聪明人,已经做了好多年了。......但是,我推荐你们做好人。你们可以引用我这句话。
My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don't have a passion, don't be satisfied until you find one. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics.
我的第三个忠告是,当你开始生活的新阶段时,请跟随你的爱好。如果你没有爱好,就去找,找不到就不罢休。生命太短暂,如果想有所成,你必须对某样东西倾注你的深情。我在你们这个年龄,是超级的一根筋,我的目标就是非成为物理学家不可。本科毕业后,我在加州大学伯克利分校又待了8年,读完了研究生,做完了博士后,然后去贝尔实验室待了9年。在这些年中,我关注的中心和职业上的全部乐趣,都来自物理学。
Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won't be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.
我还有最后一个忠告,就是说兴趣爱好固然重要,但是你不应该只考虑兴趣爱好。当你白发苍苍、垂垂老矣、回首人生时,你需要为自己做过的事感到自豪。你的物质生活和得到的承认,都不会产生自豪。只有那些你出手相助、被你改变过的人和事,才会让你产生自豪。
After nine years at Bell labs, I decided to leave that warm, cozy ivory tower for what I considered to be the "real world," a university. Bell Labs, to quote what was said about Mary Poppins, was "practically perfect in every way," but I wanted to leave behind something more than scientific articles. I wanted to teach and give birth to my own set of scientific children.
在贝尔实验室待了9年后,我决定离开这个温暖舒适的象牙塔,走进我眼中的"真实世界"----大学。我对贝尔实验室的看法,就像别人形容电影Mary Poppins的话,"实际上完美无缺"。但是,我想为世界留下更多的东西,不只是科学论文。我要去教书,培育我自己在科学上的后代。
Ted Geballe, a friend and distinguished colleague of mine at Stanford, who also went from Berkeley to Bell Labs to Stanford years earlier, described our motives best:
我在斯坦福大学有一个好友兼杰出同事Ted Geballe。他也是从伯克利分校去了贝尔实验室,几年前又离开贝尔实验室去了斯坦福大学。他对我们的动机做出了最佳描述:
"The best part of working at a university is the students. They come in fresh, enthusiastic, open to ideas, unscarred by the battles of life. They don't realize it, but they're the recipients of the best our society can offer. If a mind is ever free to be creative, that's the time. They come in believing textbooks are authoritative, but eventually they figure out that textbooks and professors don't know everything, and then they start to think on their own. Then, I begin learning from them."
"在大学工作,最大的优点就是学生。他们生机勃勃,充满热情,思想自由,还没被生活的重压改变。虽然他们自己没有意识到,但是他们是这个社会中你能找到的最佳受众。如果生命中曾经有过思想自由和充满创造力的时期,那么那个时期就是你在读大学。进校时,学生们对课本上的一字一句毫不怀疑,渐渐地,他们发现课本和教授并不是无所不知的,于是他们开始独立思考。从那时起,就是我开始向他们学习了。"
My students, post doctoral fellows, and the young researchers who worked with me at Bell Labs, Stanford, and Berkeley have been extraordinary. Over 30 former group members are now professors, many at the best research institutions in the world, including Harvard. I have learned much from them. Even now, in rare moments on weekends, the remaining members of my biophysics group meet with me in the ether world of cyberspace.
我教过的学生、带过的博士后、合作过的年轻同事,都非常优秀。他们中有30多人,现在已经是教授了。他们所在的研究机构有不少是全世界第一流的,其中就包括哈佛大学。我从他们身上学到了很多东西。即使现在,我偶尔还会周末上网,向现在还从事生物物理学研究的学生请教。
I began teaching with the idea of giving back; I received more than I gave. This brings me to the final movement of this speech. It begins with a story about an extraordinary scientific discovery and a new dilemma that it poses. It's a call to arms and about making a difference.
我怀着回报社会的想法,开始了教学生涯。我的一生中,得到的多于我付出的,所以我要回报社会。这就引出了这次演讲的最后一个乐章。首先我要讲一个了不起的科学发现,以及由此带来的新挑战。它是一个战斗的号令,到了做出改变的时候了。
