there are two way of our life

one is the same as the grass

although you are alive and grow up each year,

after all, just grass,

you enjoy the rain the sun and grow up

people can still step on you,

they won’t feel painful when you are suffering

they won’t feel pity for you when you being trampled

because people have not seen you in their eyes.

so every one of us should grow like the tree

even if we mean nothing now

but as long as you have the seeds

even if be stepped into the soil

you are still able to absorb the nutrients and grow up.

you may not grow up in tow or three years

but you will certainly be able to grow into giant trees in eight years, ten years, twenty years

when you grow into towering trees,

people will see you form distant

approached you, you can give people a piece of green, a shade, you can help others,

when people leave and looked back

you are still on the horizon line to make up the beauty of the scenery.

when they live, they are a beautiful landscape, when they died, they are still ridgepole and beam

it should be the life standards of each one of us

although each river has its own different curve,

but every river has its own dream:

that is, towards the sea.

our lives, sometimes like sand,

you may slowly sink like sand.

maybe you do not have to work hard in order to move forward,once you sink

but you also never see the sun.

therefore, i suggest that you, whatever your life is

you must have the sprit of water savings on its own and constantly breaking the barriers,

settle yourself and accumulated the knowledge,

one day when the time comes, you will be able to flush into the sea and achieve your life.

人的生活方式有两种，

第一种方式是像草一样活着，

你尽管活着，每年还在成长，

但是你究竟是一棵草，

你吸收雨露阳光，

但是长不大。

人们可以踩过你，

但是人们不会因为你的痛苦，而他产生痛苦;

人们不会因为你被踩了，而来怜悯你，

因为人们本身就没有看到你。

所以我们每一个人，

都应该像树一样的成长，

即使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。

当你长成参天大树以后，

遥远的地方，人们就能看到你;

走近你，你能给人一片绿色。

活着是漂亮的风景，

死了依然是栋梁之才，

活着死了都有用。

这就是我们每一个同学做人的标准和成长的标准。

青春终将散场

告别童年，我们步入了青春的步伐的另一个重要时刻，面临新的形势，处理不同的问题......

每个人对年轻，都有他自己的理解，这是一段美丽和奇迹，只有在你经历了酸甜苦辣，你真的能成为一个人的意义。

青春的时光是有限的，稍不注意转瞬即逝，当你发现已不再年轻时，为时已晚矣。所以我们要把握年轻，一个更加美好的时光在不久的将来等着你，否则你将失去这些。

过去的那些伟人，他们都充分利用了自己的青春时光，做一些对社会是有益的，对整个人类，作为一个时代的创造者，他们被后人的每个人所铭记。所以年轻的时候要做好自己，即使你可能做不到这些伟人的成就，但至少可以为为自己，为周围的人做点什么!

年轻就像盛开的花朵，他们是如此美丽盛开的时候，他们让人们感到满意，但随着时间的推移，岁月会让你变老.

年轻人，在我们热情年轻时候，保持你的激情，不要在激情中变老。

所以我们一定要珍惜它，不要让有限的青春白白逝去，没有留下任何的意义。

youth will press

saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems……

everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have e_perienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.

thre time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite .

having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!

the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.

and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.

so we must treasure it ,don"t let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.

i am flying today, speech is the ideal wing, as a middle school student, we are in love fantasy, love to dream, love highlight their personality, love and zhang yang us different, we were not mistaken, we now are not qualitatively period of development, there is no one standard for us to judge their own life and values. we always let adults know that we can do it yourself to live, you can solve their own problems, but we have some dependence. love day dreaming, perhaps today we want to be a teacher, to educate our newcomers, and perhaps tomorrow we want to be a scientist to e_plore our humanity to the present do not know some of the mystery, or we have no way to e_plain some phenomena … …

高中英语演讲稿3分钟（二）

let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today.

mum, im sorry, but i need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year.mmum, it is my friends birthday tomorrow, i must buy her a present.mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor?take. the relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern.

i know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything i need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money.

i never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, will there be a time that youll say you have taken enough from me?

like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature.

we enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation.

we take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources.

we appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes.

our ruthless e_ploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth.as we tragically learned from last summers floods.we cannot continue our carelessness.

finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of our posterity.

nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come.

how severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? how much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on.

let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment.

with this new start, i firmly believe, that our children, and our childrens children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!

a young friend of mine asked me in a letter, “what kind of man should i be?” my answer was, “be a fighter.”

another friend of mine inquired, “how should i live my life?” again my answer was, “be a fighter.”

the author of in praise of the fighter says:

riding on the ceaseless rushing torrent of life, i should pursue and overtake it so as to create an even greater and deeper torrent of my own.

if i were a lamp, it would be my duty to light up thick darkness. if i were the sea tide, i would marshal rolling waves to cleanse the beach of all accumulated filth.

this quotation reflects aptly the state of mind of a lighter.

fighters are badly needed in our time. but such fighters do not necessarily go to the battle- field gun in hand. their weapons are not necessarily bullets. their weapons may be knowledge, faith and strong will. they can bring the enemy sure death without drawing his blood.

a fighter is always in pursuit of light. instead of basking in the sunshine under a clear sky, he holds a burning torch in the darkness of night to illuminate people"s way so that they can continue their journey till they see the dawn of a new day. it is the task of a fighter to dispel darkness. instead of shirking darkness, he braves it and fights the hidden demons and monsters therein. he is determined to wipe them out and win light. he knows no compromise. he will keep on fighting until he wins light.

a fighter is perennially young. he is never irresolute or inactive. he plunges deep into teeming crowds in search of such vermin as flies and venomous mosquitoes. he will fight them relentlessly and refuse to coe_ist with them under the same sky. to him, life means nothing but continuous fighting. he either survives by winning light, or perishes with his body covered all over with cuts and bruises. in the course of the struggle, it is the “future” that serves as the beacon light to him; the “future” gives people hope and inspiration. he will never lose his youthful vigour.

a fighter will never lose heart or despair. he will pile up broken pieces of brick and stone to rebuild a nine-story pagoda on the ruins of failure. no blows will ever break his will. he will never close his eyes until he has breathed his last.

a fighter is always fearless. his steps are firm. once he has settled on an objective, he will press right ahead. he is never afraid of being tripped by a stumbling block. no obstacles will ever make him change his mind. his eyes will never be hoodwinked by false appearances. his actions are guided by faith. he can endure any hardships or sufferings while striving to attain his chosen objective. he will never abandon work as long as he is alive.

this is the kind of fighter we now need. he is not necessarily possessed of superhuman capability. he is just an ordinary person. anyone can be a fighter so long as he has the determination. hence a few words of mine about “being a fighter” to encourage those young people who wander about in a depressed state, not knowing which way to go.

参考译文：

《做一名进攻型战士》

一个年轻的朋友写信问我：“应该做一个什么样的人?”我回答他：“做一个战士。”

另一个朋友问我：“怎样对付生活了?”我仍旧答道：“做一个战士。”

《战士颂》的作者曾经写过这样的话：

“我激荡在这绵绵不息、滂沱四方的生命洪流中，我就应该追逐这洪流，而且追过它，自己去造更广、更深的洪流。”

“我如果是一盏灯，这灯的用处便是照彻那多量的黑暗。我如果是海潮，便要鼓起波涛去洗涤海边一切陈腐的积物。”

这一段话很恰当地写出了战士的心情。

在这个时代，战士是最需要的。但是这样的战士并不一定要持枪上战场。他的武器也下一定是枪弹。他的武器还可以是知识、信仰和坚强的意志。他并不一定要流仇敌的血，却能更有把握地致敌人的死命，战士是永远追求光明的。他并不躺在晴空下享受阳光，在晴夜里燃起火炬，给人们照亮道路，使他们走向黎明。驱散黑暗，这是战士的任务。他不躲避黑暗，却要面对黑暗，跟躲藏在阴影里的魑魅、魍魉搏斗。他要消灭它们而取得光明。战士是不知道妥协的。他得不到光明便不会停止战斗。

战士永远是年轻的。他不犹豫，不休息。他深入人丛中，找寻苍蝇、毒蚊等等危害人类的东西。他不断地攻击它们，不肯与它们共同生存在一个天空下面，对于战士，生活就是不停的战斗，他不是取得光明而牛存，便是带着满身伤痕而死去。在战斗中力量只有增长，信仰只有加强，在战斗中给战士指路的是“未来”，“未来”给人以希望和鼓舞。战士永远不会失去青春的活力。

战士是不知道灰心与绝望的。他甚至在失败的废墟上，还要堆起破碎的砖石重建九级宝塔。任何打击都不能击破战士的意志。只有在死的时候他才闭上眼睛。

战士是不知道畏缩的，他的脚步很坚定。一旦他认准目标，便会向前走去。他不怕被绊脚石摔倒，没有一种障碍能使他改变心思，假象绝不能迷住战士的眼睛，支配战士的行动的是信仰。他能够忍受一切艰难、痛苦，而达到他所选定的目标。除非他死，否则他决不放弃工作。

这便是我们现在需要的战士。这样的战士并不一定具有超人的能力。他是一个平凡的人。每个人都可以做战士，只要他有决心。所以我用“做一个进攻型的战士”来激励那些还在苦闷中彷徨，不知何去何从的年轻朋友。

if i were a boy again, i would practice perseverance(毅力)more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient. if we want light, we must conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. there are only two creatures, says a proverb, who can surmount the pyramids the eagle and the snail.

if i were a boy again, i would look on the cheerful side. life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, i smile back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.

finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, i would, if i were a boy again, i would still try harder to make others happy.

my effort is to one day be able to not only when athletes, in the crowd watching right now i get a medal of that a moment, but also for the motherland proud! i"m from grade one to grade five dream still has not changed. i still love swimming, fierce war still admire the sports meeting of the athletes; still admire the moment they get prize e_cited and happy. i hope one day i can and all as they walked onto the stage, looking forward to fierce applause, i am looking forward to... these, for the past five years, there is no change.

每个人都会有自己的梦想，我也不例外。这是我坚守了五年的梦想了。我从小爱游泳，姿势正确，游得快，听过不少赞言，还有人说要我教她们游泳呢!从此这个梦诞生了，于是我坚持每天练习……

我努力不仅是为了有一天能当上运动员，在众人的眼下观看着我领取勘牌的那一刻，而且也是为了给祖国争光!我从一年级到五年级的梦想依然没有改变。我依然热爱游泳，依然仰慕着运动会上激烈战争的运动员们;依然仰慕她们拿奖的那一刻的激动与快乐。我盼望我有一天能和她们一样走上舞台、盼望众人激烈的掌声，我盼望着……这些、五年来，依然没有改变。

我爱游泳，我曾想过：“梦想的力量是如此的巨大，有时可以为梦想付出一切代价，我不怕辛苦，因为我听过一句话“自己想要做到的事就一定要尽自己的最大的努力去完成它”这就是我人生的格言。”我期待着站上领奖台上的那一刻的激动与快乐，因此我要尽自己最大的努力、靠自己的实力，去完成我的梦想，这就是我。我期待着我成功的到来。

为了梦想，风雨无阻，我依然坚守这个梦想，不会改变，直到永远……

dear students :

hello everyone !

black mamba is a deadly poisonous snakes have , why do i get this name? because once i entered the stadium , i was deadly , like the black mamba same. so the ne_t scene , i can joke , but once i entered the stadium , i"ll be like a new person , like , engrossed on the pitch.

i am now 35 years old, went to be the second half of his career, like some of the injured are also commonplace. once injured , you think the world stopped, regardless of knee injuries, shoulder injuries , and so on . i know a lot of people have ruined the whole career , and some people even depressed , can not even return to the stadium. when that moment happened, i would look at himself in the mirror , "said bryant , what would you ? if you e_perience such pain you what will happen ? " you know, every time i see someone hurt, i saw a lot of people come back after the injury , i looked at himself in the mirror muttering , "is not it quit ? should not stop playing it?" i do not know yet whether the return game. i sit here and tell you now , i want a full recovery back on the court . but i can not promise , because a lot of the time i still have some doubts , but i think , this is to meet the challenges of significance .

to seize every opportunity to prove yourself to everyone , to prove that you can meet the challenge. to those who say you can never succeed , you will fail to prove , and this is my opinion. if someone says you are the injured , to slump , and for me, if someone suffered this injury might quit , but kobe can not do this . others say it under your die, i would say that you so that you may quit . so i have to prove it to them , especially to my fans who support me , love , i have to win their own , to win the pain , can return to the game . so as to allow those who doubt me rethink what is the impossible becomes possible. the importance of these scars is reflected in here , these scars are my shift reflects growing .

as a player, i was born with a passion to succeed , you want to win. but also the most important thing in life the hardest thing . as a player , you want to go to the stadium to meet the biggest challenge , i think the biggest challenge is to bring people into the team like a man as to constantly , constantly win, this is the biggest challenge the team of athletic competition , this is e_actly my passion . for me personally, the most important thing is to continue to meet the challenge, and never afraid of challenges is e_tremely important.

but more important to maintain a constant curiosity of things , such as how to play better , how to improve the skills , how what is learned from others . in fact, i grew up to now has been looking for factors that inspire me from all aspects , not just from the body of michael jordan , earvin magic johnson from the body, but also from michael jackson , beethoven, leonardo da vinci, bruce lee"s body, these who gave me great motivation, let me forward, so this is the spirit of the black mamba . not that you have to constantly attack others , but to never stop you from moving forward . life is a life-long learning , so it is e_tremely important to keep learning . you have to keep learning , study and study again , and talk to people , to understand , to learn, and not feel that you know everything . the only way you can become a better person , in order to further improve your skills . finally, there will be a by-product , to become a champion , become better yourself. for me, this is the spirit of the black mamba , my source of spiritual lies. so if i am able to pass this spirit to all of you , whatever you want to do, to become a basketball player , a writer or a presenter, no matter what your dream is , you must adhere to the dream of success from the front people who learn from the e_perience and knowledge to the success of all walks of life , some of them have in common makes them stand out, be successful, this is what i want to convey to you today positive energy .

各位同学：

大家好!

黑曼巴是一种拥有致命剧毒的蛇，为什么我取这个名字呢?是因为我一旦进入赛场，我就是致命的，就像黑曼巴一样。所以在场下我可以开玩笑，但是我一旦进入赛场，我马上会像换了一个人一样，在球场上全神贯注。

我现在35岁了，算是走到了职业生涯的后半程，像这样一些受伤也是司空见惯了。一旦受伤，你就觉得世界停止了，不管是膝盖受伤，肩膀受伤等等。我知道很多 人因此而把整个职业生涯都葬送了，有的人甚至一蹶不振，甚至无法返回赛场。当那个时刻发生的时候，我会看着镜子中的自己说，“科比你会怎么样?如果你经历 这样的伤痛你会怎么样?“你知道我每次看到别人受伤，我见到很多人受伤后回不来，我看着镜子中的自己喃喃自语说，”是不是应该退出了?是不是应该停止打球 了?“我自己都不知道还能否返回赛场。我现在坐在这里告诉你，我要完全康复回到球场。但我不敢打包票，因为很多时候我也有疑问，但是我觉得，这才是迎接挑 战的意义所在。

要抓住一切机会，向所有人证 明你自己，证明你能够迎接挑战。向那些说你永远不可能成功，你一定会失败的人证明，这就是我的看法。如果有人说你这次受伤，要一蹶不振了，对我来说，如果 别人受了这种伤可能就退出了，但是科比不能这样。别人说这下你不行了，我会说，你这样你才可能会退出。所以我必须要证明给他们看，尤其是给那些支持我，热 爱我的粉丝们，我一定要赢了自己，要赢了伤痛，能够重返赛场。这样才能让那些怀疑我的人重新思考，什么叫将不可能的变成可能。这些伤疤的重要性体现在这 里，这些伤疤就是我成长转变的体现。

作为一个球员，我与生俱来的激情就是想要成功，想要赢。同时也是人生最难却最重要的事情。作为一个球员，要到球场上去迎接最大的挑战，我觉得最大的挑战就 是要把全队的人变成像一个人那样，要不断地，不断地取得胜利，这就是团队竞技比赛的最大挑战，这也正是我的激情所在。对我个人来说，最重要的事是不断地迎 接挑战，而且永不畏惧挑战极为重要。

但更重要的是要对事物保持不断的好奇心，比如说怎么样打得更好，怎么样提高技巧，怎么样从别人身上学到什么。其实我从小到现在一直从各个方面寻找激励我的 因素，不仅仅从迈克尔·乔丹身上，从魔术师埃尔文·约翰逊身上，还从迈克尔·杰克逊，贝多芬，达芬奇，李小龙身上，这些伟大的人给了我激励，让我前进，所 以这就是黑曼巴的精神。并不是说你要不断进攻别人，而是要永不停歇你前进的脚步。人生是学无止境的，于是不断学习就显得极为重要。你要不断地学习，学习， 再学习，和别人交谈，了解，学习，而不是觉得你自己什么都懂。只有这样，你才能成为一个更好的人，你的技巧才能进一步提高。最后才会有一个副产品，成为冠军，成为更好的自己。对我来说这就是黑曼巴的精神，我的精神的 源头所在。所以如果我能够把这种精神传递给在座的各位，不管你想要做什么，成为一个篮球运动员，一个作家或者是主持人，不管你的梦想是什么，你们一定要坚 持梦想，从成功的前人身上汲取经验和知识，各行各业的成功人士，他们身上都有一些共性使得他们脱颖而出，取得成功，这就是我今天想要传递给各位的正能量。

ladies and gentlemen: my topic is honesty. as a correspondent of the qingdao morning news, i visited dr. james gilman, the president of the international committee for marco polo studies in england. in this picture, this is james, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. this is a true story. /chuzhong/chusan/ 65 years ago, james lived in qingdao. then he was only 5 years old. he often visited the aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. he was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.

in the late 1930s, when the japanese occupied qingdao, his family had to leave. on his last day in qingdao, he ran to the aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth. he kept the tooth for the ne_t 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. it was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. finally he decided to put right his childish error. in 20__, he visited qingdao and returned it to the aquarium with his sincere apologies. he received a warm welcome. when james visited qingdao, i accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. i was deeply touched by his honesty. it has taught me a lot. i think to err is human. the important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error. honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. so we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. i would like to say to all of my friends: let’s be honest people of good moral character. thank you.
