The best gift I ever survived演讲稿翻译

Transcript

Imagine, if you will, a gift. I'd like for you to picture it in your mind. It's not too big -- about the size of a golf ball. So envision what it looks like all wrapped up. But before I show you what's inside, I will tell you, it's going to do incredible things for you. It will bring all of your family together. You will feel loved and appreciated like never before and reconnect with friends and acquaintances you haven't heard from in years. Adoration and admiration will overwhelm you. It will recalibrate what's most important in your life.

It will redefine your sense of spirituality and faith. You'll have a new understanding and trust in your body. You'll have unsurpassed vitality and energy. You'll expand your vocabulary, meet new people, and you'll have a healthier lifestyle. And get this, you'll have an eight-week vacation of doing absolutely nothing. You'll eat countless gourmet meals. Flowers will arrive by the truckload. People will say to you, "You look great. Have you had any work done?" And you'll have a lifetime supply of good drugs.

You'll be challenged, inspired, motivated and humbled. Your life will have new meaning. Peace, health, serenity, happiness, nirvana. The price? $55,000. And that's an incredible deal.

By now I know you're dying to know what it is and where you can get one. Does Amazon carry it? Does it have the Apple logo on it? Is there a waiting list? Not likely. This gift came to me about five months ago. It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up -- not quite so pretty. And this. And then this. It was a rare gem, a brain tumor, hemangioblastoma, the gift that keeps on giving.

And while I'm okay now, I wouldn't wish this gift for you. I'm not sure you'd want it. But I wouldn't change my experience. It profoundly altered my life in ways I didn't expect in all the ways I just shared with you.

So the next time you're faced with something that's unexpected, unwanted and uncertain, consider that it just may be a gift.

丝德茜·克莱默--请想象一份礼物。请你们在脑海中构想一下，不是很大，大概高尔夫球般大小，包装好大致是这个样子。在我揭开谜底之前，我先告诉你们，这件礼物会有多么精妙的效果。它会使你合家团聚，你会感受到前所未有的爱与感激，与久未谋面的老友和旧识重聚。爱与赞美会

充盈你身，你会重新检视何为生命中的要事。

你会重新定义，自己对精神和信仰的看法。你对自己的身体也会有全新的认知和信任。你会拥有无与伦比的生命力和能量，你将拓展你的词汇量，结交新的朋友，并拥有更健康的生活方式。当你得到这件礼物时，你将会有八个礼拜的假期，不需要做任何事情。你将享用无尽的佳肴，收到好几卡车的鲜花。人们会对你说，“你看起来气色真不错，完成什么了吗？”你还会得到终生的良药供给。

你会面临挑战，被启发，被鼓舞，同时变得更谦虚。你的生命将被赋予新的意义，平和，健康，宁静，快乐，犹如涅槃。物的价格呢，五万五千美金，真是桩好买卖。

我知道你一定迫不及待地想知道，这到底是什么，在哪里可买到。亚马逊网站上有吗？是苹果公司的产品吗？要排队等货吗？都不对。大概五个月前，我收到了这份礼物。包裹起来的话，大概是这个样子，没那么漂亮。之后是这个，还有这个。一个罕见的麻烦，一颗脑瘤，成血管细胞瘤，这礼物一直在影响着我。

现在我已无大碍了，我不希望这份礼物降临于你。我不确定你是否想得到，但是我不渴望改变过去。它突如其来地彻底改变了我的生活，带来了以上所述的那些改变。所以下一次，当你面对意料之外的，避之不及和前途未卜的事，不妨就把它看成一件礼物。

演讲稿TheBestGiftWeCanGivetoOthers

The Best Gift We Can Give Others is… Ladies and gentleman, good （morning）. I’m so glad to stand here and give you this speech. My speech topic is the best “gift” we can give others is…… It is obviously that different people have different ideas. In my opinion, as for parents, the best gift we can give to them may not be good grades or beautiful appearance, but a healthy body and a happy life. Because in our parents’ eyes, we are the biggest treasures for them in the world. If we are sad, they will try their best to comfort us and give their all to us, without caring whether it would cost. As for friends, they are our companies. So, our care is the best gifts for them. If our friends are unhappy, what we should do firstly is to be a good listener. What’s more, To listen to others is the best way to give them respect and praise. Except parents and friends, there are still many people who care and love us. So, what is the best gift we can give to such people? The best word in my mind is trust. Based on the trust, people can work together, study together, play together and do many other things together. Finally, I want to say, whatever you give to others, if the thing contains your kindly feelings, it is exactly the best gift. All above is my speech. Thank you!

演讲稿

Opportunities and Challenges

First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.” Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 2008 Olympic Games. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.

Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example, more and more people will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights? I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”

For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 2008 Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .The society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.

At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.{aspecialgift演讲稿}.

迎奥运英语演讲稿

China has its own sport legends. Back to Song Dynasty, People started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of Ancient football. So now, you will understand why our women football team is so good today.

With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Indian and Chinese. Carrying the message “Share the peace, Share the Olympics. “ The flame will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, Travel the Great Wall and visit Taiwan and the 56 Ethnic communities who make up our society. On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.

I am afraid I cannot prevent the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience alike. Come and join us.

Thank you. Thank you all.

Never give up

Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it. Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best.

We often hear people say, “Never give up.” This can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.

Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.

He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.

Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.

In short, it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Thank{aspecialgift演讲稿}.

As we all know, fire is one of the most terrible killers in our modern society.We know that fire is mainly caused by smokers, followed by defective insulations and children playing with matches. In 2002 ,thousands of fire happened all over the country, of which 50 percent was caused by smokers who left cigarette-ends everywhere. Those who smoke should make sure that the cigarettes are stubbed out before being thrown away. Also, smoking should not be allowed in public places. 30 percent of fire was caused by defective insulation. Workers should know the importance of good insulation for people's lives. At homes we must pay special attention to electric wires and make sure that they are safe. 20 percent of fire are caused by children playing with matches. We should warn children of the danger of playing with matches.

No matter what type of the reason it was, there was one thing in common:carelessness. So if everyone in the country is careful enough, more fire could be avoided.

火灾原因

我们都知道火灾是现代社会最可怕的杀手之一。火灾主要是由吸烟者、绝缘不良和孩子玩火柴引起的。在2002年，全国发生了成千上万起火灾，其中50%是由于吸烟者随便扔烟头引起的。那些吸烟者应该在扔烟头前确保烟头已经被掐灭。而且，公共场所应该禁止吸烟。30%的火灾是由于绝缘不良引起的，工作人员应该懂得绝缘对人们的重要性。在家里时我们应该尤其注意电线，要确保它们的安全性。20%的火灾是由于孩子玩火柴引起的，我们应该警告孩子玩火柴的危险性。

不管是哪种类型的原因，它们都有一个共同点：粗心。因此如果国家中每个人都足够细心，那么更多的火灾是可以避免的。

An Unforgettable Day

Everybody has a unforgettable day in the life.Someone was happy and someone is sad. The Christmas due to arrive and I had to return back to Singapore after the Christmas.Hold my birthday party in the Singapore and I did not want to hold the birthday in the Singapore.So I did the birthday and Christmas together.

Next day,I went to the Christmas shop with my sister and bought any decorations for decorate my house.Then we were went to buy any gifts put in my house.There are many fruits on the table.Any words on the door that was “welcome to my house and happy Christmas”.Soon after,the whole room was decorated very beautiful by us. In the second day was Christmas.My family was woke up very early and waiting for some people.Five minutes late,I saw my uncle and his family were coming to my house.We were very warmhearted to meet everyone.There are so many people in the house and we were very excited.Seeing all the people before my eyes,I felt that I was the happiest man in the world.

After all the people came to my house,we were went to the hotel together.Half way,we were talking and very funny.Reached to the hotel,my aunties and uncles were seat to a part. My friends and I were seat to a part.Every food and any different juice on the table.And there is a very big and nice cake on the centre of table too.We ate on the one hand and talking on the other.During that time,suddenly my mother came to our part and said the words that was “everybody must say the different congratulatory to BaiKun”.Then the first one was my sister,she was said “happy birday and happy Christmas to you”.After all person said,I felt that be grateful.Although I did not say “thank you”to my friends,I nerver forgot that words and their warmhearted.

In the evening, all people seat on the sofa and had a look Christmas TV.During that time,my uncle called me and let me went to my bedroom.He given to me the money when I was coming.As a matter of fact I knew their mean that was they wanted to let me cross was feeling better in Singapore.But I did not want to take the money and said that words to him.Seeing every one of them to give me the money,I wanted to cry.My grandmother was older and she given to me the one hundred.Although the money was a little,I felt the gift was very heavy and valuable.I must will keep these money until to work.But I also will requite for their good heart.I was loyalty said the words to him.Thank you!

That was an unforgettable Christmas.

致戴安娜演讲稿

致戴安娜

I stand before you today the representative of afamily in grief, in a country in mourning before aworld in shock.

今天，我站在你们面前，作为一个悲恸的家属代表，在一个举国哀悼的国家里，面对一个受到震惊的世界。

We are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to Diana but rather in our need to do so.For such was her extraordinary appeal that thetens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radiowho never actually met her, feel that they too lost someone close to them in the early hours ofSunday morning. It is a more remarkable tribute to Diana than I can ever hope to offer hertoday.

今天，我们聚集在一起，不仅仅是因为我们渴望表达对戴安娜的敬意，而是因为我们需要这样做。由于她的无与伦比的吸引力，全世界几千万人，甚至没有见过她的人，今天都能够通过电视和收音机参加这个葬礼，他们都感到本星期天凌晨失去了一个可亲的人。这个事实本身，对戴安娜来说，比我今天希望表达的悼词深刻得多，强烈地多。

Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world shewas a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden,a very British girl who transcend nationality, someone with a natural nobility who was classless and who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic.

戴安娜是同情心、责任心、风度和美丽的化身，在全世界她是无私和人道的象征，是维护真正被践踏的人们权益的旗手，是一个超越国界的英国女孩，是一个带有自然的高贵气质的人，是一个不分阶层的人。在最后一年里，她已经证明，她不需要什么皇家头衔也可以继续发挥她那独特的神奇力量。

Today is our chance to say "thank you" for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life. We will all feel cheated always that you were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all. Only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult. 今天是一个机会，我们要说谢谢你，虽然上帝只给了你一半的生命，但是你已经照亮了我们的生活。那样年轻，就被带走了，使我们感到像是受到了欺骗，然而我们必须懂得感恩，毕竟你还是来过了这个世界。今天，只有当你离开了我们，我们才真正地明白我们失去的是什么。我们要让你知道，没有你的日子是多么痛苦难熬。

We have all despaired at our loss over the past weekand only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward.

一个星期来，我们全家都经历了痛失亲人的绝望，惟有你多年赠予我们的慷慨和善良给了我们继续前行的勇气和力量。

There is a temptation to rush to canonize yourmemory. There is no need to do so. You stand tallenough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen as a saint. Indeed, tosanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of your being, your wonderfullymischievous sense of humor, with a laugh that bent you double. Your joy for life transmittedwherever you took your smile and the sparkle in those unforgettable eyes. Your boundlessenergy which you could barely contain.

现在有股风潮，人们争抢着圣化对你的回忆，其实不需要这样做。作为一个有杰出品质的人，你已经站得很高了，不需要被看作圣人。的确，圣化对你的回忆就是忽视你最本质的东西。无论什么时候，你那奇妙的、带点调皮的、忍俊不禁的诙谐，你的一颦一笑，你的令人难忘的眼神一闪一烁，总把生活的快乐带给别人，你旺盛不竭的精力好像不是你身体所能容纳的。But your greatest gift was your intuition and it was a gift you used wisely. This is whatunderpinned all your other wonderful attributes and if we look to analyze what it was about youthat had such a wide appeal we find it in your instinctive feel for what was really important inall our lives.

你最大的天赋是天生待人处事的贤淑，这个天赋你运用得恰到好处。你的其他种种的优良品性就是从这个天性衍生出来的。如果我们试着分析你怎么有这样巨大的吸引力，我们就会找到答案，答案就在于你对我们生命中真正重要的东西有同情心。{aspecialgift演讲稿}.

Without your God-given sensitivity we would be immersed in greater ignorance at theanguish of AIDS and HIV sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation of lepers, therandom destruction of landmines.

如果没有你那天赐的敏感，今天我们对艾滋病病人的痛苦，对无家可归的人的窘境，对麻疯病患者被孤立的感觉，对被地雷随意杀伤的人的不幸，要冷漠得多。

Diana explained to me once that it was her innermostfeeling of suffering that made it possible for her toconnect with her constituency of the rejected. Andhere we come to another truth about her. For all thestatus, the glamour, the applause, Diana remainedthroughout a very insecure person at heart, almostchildlike in her desire to do good for others so hecould release herself from deep feeling ofunworthiness of which her eating disorders were merly a symptom. Th world sensed this partof her character and cherished her for her vulnerability whilst admiring her for her honesty.

戴安娜有一次对我说，她内心深处对痛苦的感受使她有可能同那些被社会摈弃的人们往来。这使我们可以看到她身上的另一个事实。不管社会地位多么显赫，多么光彩照人，不管人们怎样颂扬，戴安娜内心始终是一个没有安全感的人，她像孩子似的竭力对别人做点好事，以解脱她内心深处的无价值感，她的饮食失调也是这种忧郁心情的一个表现。

全世界都感受到她性格中的这个部分。人们因为她的柔弱疼惜她，更因她的真诚而欣赏她。The last time I saw Diana was on July 1, her birthday in London, when typically she was nottaking time to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honor at a fundraisingcharity evening. She sparkled of course, but I would rather cherish the days I spent with herin March when she came to visit me and my children in our home in South Africa. I am proud ofthe fact that apart from when she was on public display meeting President Mandela wemanaged to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting s single picture of her.That menat a lot to her.

我最后一次见到戴安娜是今年7月1日，在伦敦，她的生日那天。和往常一样，她没有时间同朋友们一起庆贺自己这个特别的日子，而是作为贵宾出席了一个慈善筹款晚会。那天的她无疑是光彩夺目，但我更加珍惜今年3月我们在一起的日子，那时她来到南非我的家中，来看我和我的孩子们。我感到骄傲的是，那次她除了同曼德拉总统见面是在公众场合外，我设法不让那些纠缠的记者拍一张照片，她对此感到舒畅。

These were days I will always treasure. It was as ifwe had been transported back to our childhood whenwe spent such an enormous amount of timetogether the two youngest in the family.Fundamentally she had not changed at all from thebig sister who mothered me as a baby, fought withme at school and endured those long train journeysbetween our parents' homes with me at weekends. Itis a tribute to her level-headedness and strength that despite the most bizarre-like lifeimaginable after her childhood, she remained intact, true to herself.

这些日子我会永远珍惜，我现在好像又回到了从前，我俩一起生活很多年的日子，我和她是家里最小的两个孩子。她基本上同小时候我心目中的姐姐一样，待我像母亲对待婴孩般慈爱。在学校里和我一起打架，忍受周末与我一同度过往返双亲各自家中的漫长的火车旅行。在童年以后，即便身处复杂奇怪的环境，她总保持完整和自己的真实，这要归功于她冷静的头脑和内心的力量。

There is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this time. She talkedendlessly of getting away from England, mainly because of the treatment that she received atthe hands of the newspapers. I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely goodintentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest ontheir behalf to bring

her down. It is baffling.

毫无疑问，她一直在找寻一个新生活方向。她不时说起要离开英国，主要是受不了报纸对她的围攻。我想她始终不明白为什么她的真诚善意会被传媒扭曲嘲弄，为什么周围总有一股永远要把她拉倒的代表传媒的势力，这些确实令人难以理解。

My own and only explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest is this: a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age. She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys Williams and Harry from a similar fate and I dothis here, Diana, on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful depair.

对此，我自己唯一的解释，就是真正的善与美对那些处于道德另一端的人来说，是一种威胁。但是，在一切有关戴安娜的嘲讽中，也许最大的讽刺是：一个女孩子，她的名字是古代狩猎女神（Diana），自己最后却成为现代社会最受围剿的一个人。她想要我们今天起誓保护她钟爱的孩子威廉和哈里，免遭相同的命运。

戴安娜，我们决不会让他们遭受那种常常把你逼到绝望落泪的痛苦。

And beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you were steerling these two exceptional young men so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned.

另外，我代表你母亲和两个姐姐起誓，我们，你的骨肉亲人，将尽一切努力继续走你那极富创意和深具爱心的道路，引导两个杰出的孩子，让他们的心灵不是束缚在职责和传统中，而是能如你期盼的那样自由地歌唱。

We fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born and will always respect and encourage them in their royal role but we, like you, recognize the need for them, to experience as many different aspects of life as possible to arm them spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. I know you would have expected nothing less from us.

我们完全尊重他们出生的传统，我们也常尊重和鼓励他们肩负王室成员的职责。但我们也像你一样，认识到他们需要在尽量多的不同的生活层面上实践，使他们在精神和情感上武装起来，能够面对未来的挑战。我知道你一定要我们做到这一点。

William and Harry, we all cared desperately for you today. We are all chewed up with the sadness at the loss of a woman who was not even our mother. How great your suffering is, we cannot even imagine.

威廉和哈里，今天我们全家竭尽全力地呵护你们，我们大家正被失去亲人的痛苦折磨，何况她是你们的母亲，我们能够想象你们忍受的痛苦是多么剧烈。

I would like to end by thanking God for the small mercies he has shown us at this dreadful time. For taking Diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she had joy in her private life. About all we gibe thanks for the life of a woman I am so proud to be able to call my sister, the unique, the complex, the extraordinary and irreplaceble Diana whose beauty, both internal and external, will never be extinguished from our minds.

最后，我要感谢上帝，在这可怕的悲痛的时刻，还是给了我们许许多多的安慰。感谢上帝，在戴安娜最美丽、最放光彩的时刻，在她生命中里最快乐的时刻，把她带走了。总之，我们感激她的一生。能够叫她姐姐是我一生的骄傲，她是优秀的，不可取代的。她的美丽，不论内心还是外表，在我们心里永不磨灭。
