英文的演講稿 篇3

大家好，我是G10-1的張予祺Hello everyone， I am Luke Zhuo from class one grade Ten

1月過去，新的學期已經來臨了，隨之而來的也是兩週的春節假January has almost passed， the new semester has arrived， and with it comes a two-week Chinese New Year holiday.

對於高中生來説，春節假期期間，很多人可能都在補課、學習，想要利用這個長假提高自己的學術水平。低年級的同學學業壓力可能偏輕，更傾向於放鬆心情，為迎接接下來緊張的學習生活做準備。During the Spring Festival， some high students might take some extra lessons in order to improve their academic scores. Our junior classmates may tend to replenish themselves and restore energy for the forthcoming semester.

但不論是作為生活的前奏，還是主旋律，學習都是同學們最關心的一項。我們希望分享一些自己平日裏保持學習熱情的小技巧。Whatever the prelude or the main theme of life， studying is a subject cared by all of us. We want to share some techniques that help us maintain our academic passion.

有些人可能會期待的“長時間高效的學習”。早上7點早起，坐在自習室埋頭苦學到中午十二點。實際上，科學的學習方法是將每四十分鐘至一個小時分割為一個時間段，段與段之間由十分鐘的休息時間隔開——這樣，學生可以勞逸結合，不至於為看上去好似一座高山的學習任務感到絕望與煩悶。而且，當我們的大腦運轉了太久，我們的思考會變慢、反應時間會變長，學習效率也會降低。Some people might expect to have a long， efficient study time: waking up at seven o’clock， sitting in a self-study room until twelve o’clock. However， one scientific study method is to divide our learning time into several periods of 40 minutes to 1 hour and set a break time between 2 periods. Thus， we can keep the balance of work and rest， maintain high efficiency of learning， and not become desolate about the infinite homework.

如果缺乏學習動力，可以從自己本身出發，為自己做心理建設。你可以為自己的成績設立一個小目標，舉個例子，如果你這一月份的成績各科全A，你就可以給自己買很想要卻苦於價格一直沒下手的商品，例如顯卡或者項鍊，或者給自己放一個小長假，在完成作業後可以多分一些時間在娛樂上。對於無慾無求的同學，你可以告訴自己，好的學習成績是考上好學校的基礎。If you lack academic passion， you can construct your mindset based on your own personality. You can always set yourself a little goal. For example， if you get straight A's in January， you can buy yourself something which you were eager to buy but didn't， such as a graphics card or a necklace， or you can have a vacation. For someone who lives without material desires， you can tell yourself that a good grade is the foundation of a good future.

第三，對自己負責，每週六我帶着自己的電腦去到一個語言補習機構學習，我通常會選擇坐在老師旁邊的桌上，因為我覺得自己的自制力不夠，需要有人監督我來保證我的效率。但是結果通常不甚理想，我不僅會發呆走神還總想上網開小差。Thirdly， be responsible to yourself. I will take my laptop to ReachTop， a linguistic learning institution， I will usually choose to sit beside the teacher because I think that I lack self-discipline and it is necessary for one of the teachers to regulate my behavior. However， the result was not ideal， my efficiency was not improved.

但是有一次，我被分配到了獨立的小房間自習，在這個地方，很少有老師可以看到我到底在幹什麼，我該做什麼全依靠於我的自制力。但是，出乎我自己意料的是，在小房間內，在沒有老師監督我學習的情況下，我注意力相當集中，從頭到尾兩個小時沒有動過想要渾水摸魚的歪念頭。But once， I was instructed to study by myself in a separate room. There are few chances for teachers to supervise me in this place. I did everything based on my self-discipline. However， what was totally out of my expectation， I was extraordinarily focused during the study time without the control of teachers. I was not affected by any distractions at all.

我覺得這其中主要的原因就是：當我正在被人監管時，我會認為我在為他們學習，而不是為我自己。但是當輪到我自己來決策我的行為時，我知道我要對自己負責，並且毫不猶豫地，全力以赴地為自己做出最正確的決定。In my opinion， the main reason for what happened is that when I am supervised by others， I believe that I am studying for them instead of studying for myself. But when I realize that I should make a decision all by myself， I deeply know that I should take full responsibility for myself and put all effort into making the right decisions without hesitation.

我們的演講到此結束，謝謝大家。Our speech is over， thanks for your attention.

英文的演講稿 篇6

e or disagree: Museums should be made my eyes, museums of course should be made free.

We know that, as a part of culture, museums restore many culture relics. These are typical symbols for a certain times. As a citizen of our country, it is necessary and natural to learn our past history. Recent years, more and more museums are open free to the public. I couldnt agree more with it. Free museum will greatly motivate all kinds of people to approach. Whats more, in this fast developing age, museums have many new and advanced invents inside. It will be a wonderful place for people who want to learn more. Parents can often take their children to museums to learn about history and some technical knowledge. In a word, I think government should try to make more museums free for citizens.

e or disagree: Zoos should be banned.

Nowadays, lots of people start to realize that zoos are not a good place for animals. People need zoos because it is an easy way to close the animals and also because its convenient for people to observe them. However, zoos are in fact a cruel place for animals. Animals should live in their natural habitat. An animals natural instinct is to run and to hunt. But thats not for animals kept in zoos. Everyday, people feed them. Theyve never been taught how to hunt for food and will gradually lose their natures. That will be quite cruel for a animal, especially for wild animals such as tigers and lions. You can often find in zoos that a tiger kept in cage has a loose expression in its set animals in zoos and therefore feel that they wont meet danger and may be able to protect them from dying out. This may be just a excuse we find for ourselves to make animals in cages just as entertainment. We always say animals are our friends, then why we put our friends in cages?

英文的演講稿 篇7

Last year when I was here, I was speaking to you about a swim which I did across the North Pole.去年，當我站在這裏的時候，我在談論我橫跨 北極的游泳。

And while that swim took place three years ago, I can remember it as if it was yesterday.那還是發生在3年前， 對我則好像是昨天一般。

I remember standing on the edge of the ice, about to dive into the water, and thinking to myself, I have never ever seen any place on this earth which is just so frightening.我還記得我站在冰層的邊緣， 就要扎進水裏， 然後我自己想到，我再也再也 不要看到地球上的這個地方，這裏是如此的讓人恐懼。

The water is completely water is minus 1.7 degrees centigrade, or 29 degrees 's flipping freezing in that water.

那裏的水是全黑色。水的温度是負1.7攝氏度， 華氏29度。那水裏就是翻動的冰塊。

And then a thought came across my mind: if things go pear-shaped on this swim, how long will it take for my frozen body to sink the four and a half kilometers to the bottom of the ocean?然後一個念頭在我腦中劃過： 如果這場泳出了點問題， 我這冰凍的身體要花多長時間 才能沉到這4500米的底部呢?

And then I said to myself, I've just got to get this thought out of my mind as quickly as possible.然後我告誡我自己，我要把這個念頭儘快的 拋在我的腦後。

And the only way I can dive into that freezing cold water and swim a kilometer is by listening to my iPod and really revving myself up,能讓我扎入 這冰冷的水裏 然後遊了4千米的唯一方法就是 聽着我的iPod，讓我自己全力運轉起來，

listening to everything from beautiful opera all the way across to Puff Daddy, and then committing myself a hundred percent -- there is nothing more powerful than the made-up mind --and then walking up to the edge of the ice and just diving into the water.

我聽了所有的歌，從華麗的歌劇 到吹牛老爹， 然後全身心的投入 沒有什麼比下定決心還要厲害的 --然後走到冰的邊緣 扎入水裏。

And that swim took me 18 minutes and 50 seconds, and it felt like 18 days.這次游泳花了我 18分50秒， 但好像是18天一樣。

And I remember getting out of the water and my hands feeling so painful and looking down at my fingers, and my fingers were literally the size of sausages because -- you know, we're made partially of water -- when water freezes it expands, and so the cells in my fingers had frozen and expandedand burst.

我記得當我從水裏出來時 我的手時如此的疼痛 然後我看着我的手指， 我的手指真的像香腸一樣粗，因為--你們知道了，我們身體一部分由水組成 -- 當水結冰時會膨脹， 這樣我手指的裏細胞 就冷凍了，膨脹了炸裂了。And the most immediate thought when I came out of that water was the following: I'm never, ever going to do another cold water swim in my life again.我從水裏上岸的一瞬間的想法 時這樣的： 我一生中 再也再也不要去在冰冷的水裏游泳了。

Anyway, last year, I heard about the Himalayas and the melting of the -- (Laughter) and the melting of the glaciers because of climate change.就這樣，去年，我聽到了喜馬拉雅山 以及那裏融化的--(笑) 因為氣候變化 所融化的冰川。

I heard about this lake, Lake Imja.我聽説了這個湖泊，映佳湖。

This lake has been formed in the last couple of years because of the melting of the glacier.這個湖是幾年前 由於冰川融化所形成的。

The glacier's gone all the way up the mountain and left in its place this big lake.這些冰川順山而下 然後在這裏留下了這個大湖。

And I firmly believe that what we're seeing in the Himalayas is the next great, big battleground on this earth.由此我堅信 我要去看見的喜馬拉雅 就是我下一個在地球上的 戰場。

Nearly two billion people -- so one in three people on this earth -- rely on the water from the Himalayas.將近20億的人口 -- 世界上三分之一的地球人口 -- 依靠着喜馬拉雅山的水源。

And with a population increasing as quickly as it is, and with the water supply from these glaciers -- because of climate change --decreasing so much, I think we have a real risk of instability.而世界人口照這個速度發展下去， 而冰川水源的提供 -- 由於氣候的變化 --下降的如此之快， 我像我們就有了一個十分不穩定的威脅。

North, you've got China; south, you've India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, all these countries.北方，我們由中國;南方，我們有印度，巴基斯坦，孟加拉， 和其它所有國家。

And so I decided to walk up to Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on this earth, and go and do a symbolic swim underneath the summit of Mt. Everest.這樣我決定了 登上珠峯， 地球上的最高峯， 如何在珠峯下 遊一次具有象徵意義的泳。

Now, I don't know if any of you have had the opportunity to go to Mt. Everest, but it's quite an ordeal getting up there.我不知道，你們是否有機會去珠峯， 但是要去那的話，是一個考驗。

28 great, big, powerful yaks carrying all the equipment up onto this mountain -- I don't just have my Speedo, but there's a big film crew who then send all the images around the world.28只巨大的犛牛 載着所有的儀器登上山峯 -- 我不僅僅帶這我的泳褲。 還有一個攝像團隊這個攝像團隊，會向世界各地直播。

英文的演講稿 篇8

Without dreams, life is desert and no life. Without dreams, life is like night, without light. Without dreams, life is like a labyrinth without direction. Because dream is an oasis in the desert, a light in the dark, a sign in the labyrinth, guiding us to go forward bravely.

Since I entered junior high school, I had a strong interest in physics. It was like a magnet that attracted all my attention. I was very excited about every physics class, because before that, I had turned the book several times. From then on, a young seed sprouted in my heart - I must be a physicist.

However, the ensuing wind and rain gave a heavy blow to the young embryo. Once, a student asked me a question, and I took the book blindly and began to "research". However, as time went on, my forehead was peaked with beans. It seems to be very simple, but I can hardly make a reason for my mind. Later, when the teacher told the question, it was Zhang Feis bean sprouts - a piece of cake. I didnt mention how embarrassed it was. When I got to the physics exam, I got the test paper with confidence, but I handed it down in a dejected way. I have no opinion, and what "physical talent", and only see through the book is not enough, the losing streak like a pot of cold water extinguished the flames of my dreams.

I wandered in the campus in a pale way. Suddenly, a tree seedling came into view. It stood upright between the brick joints, and the bricks on the sides should be warped on both sides. What a tenacious life, what a strong character! It is hard to imagine, after how the wind snow and rain to break through the darkness, brighter!

I am suddenly clear: the realization of the dream is also a bet, just like an abyss, from the moment the jump down, it is doomed to no loop. Either, straight and A great hawk spreads its wings, spread on the bottom; or, go, no sound. Believe in the power of the dream, follow the faint ray of light to pursue the longing longing for a long time, can usher in a beautiful infinite spring!

From then on, I began to fight for my dream. I would sort out every difficult problem and look at it. I do not listen to the conclusion, but to the mind. Whenever I have a disagreement with my teacher, I will ask the teacher for the first time. When I found a new way of making a problem, I was like Columbo who discovered the new world. Finally, the seedlings of the dream have thrived and fruit, and in recent physical exams and competitions, I have been among the best.

Some people say, "the poor are not the penniless, but the people who have no dreams." But I have to say, "the poor are not people without dreams, but those who dare not fight for their dreams." With a dream, we have the direction of hard work and dream, to go far away.

Gorky once said that books are the ladder of human progress. I love books, so also love reading.

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory. Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized, no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that British Empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of a

英文的演講稿 篇13

no writer who knows the great writers who did not receive the prize can accept it other than with humility. there is no need to list these writers. everyone here may make his own list according to his knowledge and his conscience.

it would be impossible for me to ask the ambassador of my country to read a speech in which a writer saidall of the things which are in his heart. things may not be immediately discernible in what a man writes, and in this sometimes he is fortunate; but eventually they are quite clear and by these and the degree of alchemy that he possesses he will endure or be forgotten.

writing at its best is a lonely life. organizations for writers palliate the writers loneliness, but i doubt if they improve his writing. he grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. for he does his work alone, and if he is a good enough writer, he must face eternity or the lack of it each day.

for a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. he should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. then sometimes, with good luck, he will succeed.

how simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. it is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.

i have spoken too long for a writer. a writer should write what he has to say and not speak it.

again i thank you.

There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys. How's the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”

Simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:

“This is water.”

“This is water.”

It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out.

Good afternoon，ladies and gentlemen!

I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with ,I want to ask a question everybody dream a good dream last night? Actually ,today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.

Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. With the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer the dream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.

But I know，life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .

Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing is impossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If

I cant realize my dream,it result from that I havent work harder enough and I wont find other excuses. If no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right. If you think the god havent blessed you and there is no truth here, you can become the god and create the truth.

"My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time in the past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Each achievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder."

Thank you for your listening!

Boys and girls,

It is very important for us students to keep healthy.

There are many ways to be healthy. We’d better eat more fruits and vegetables. Take exercise for at least one hour every day. We need enough sleep and rest so it is important to go to bed early and get up early. Besides, we should wash our hands as often as possible. In my opinion, we mustn't drink wine or smoke are bad for our health.

Thank you.

What fear can teach us

恐懼可以教會我們什麼

One day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of Chile, in one of the most remote regions of the Pacific Ocean, 20 American sailors watched their ship flood with seawater.

1820xx年的某一天， 在距離智利海岸3000英里的地方， 有一個太平洋上的最偏遠的水域， 20名美國船員目睹了他們的船隻進水的場面。

They'd been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ship's hull. As their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the men huddled together in three small whaleboats.

他們和一頭抹香鯨相撞，給船體撞了 一個毀滅性的大洞。 當船在巨浪中開始沉沒時， 人們在三條救生小艇中抱作一團。

These men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land. In their small boats, they carried only rudimentary navigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.

這些人在離家10000萬英里的地方， 離最近的陸地也超過1000英里。 在他們的小艇中，他們只帶了 落後的導航設備 和有限的食物和飲水。

These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspire parts of "Moby Dick."

他們就是捕鯨船ESSEX上的人們， 後來的他們的故事成為《白鯨記》的一部分。

Even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but think about how much worse it would have been then.

即使在當今的世界，碰上這種情況也夠杯具的，更不用説在當時的情況有多糟糕。

No one on land had any idea that anything had gone wrong. No search party was coming to look for these men. So most of us have never experienced a situation as frightening as the one in which these sailors found themselves, but we all know what it's like to be afraid.

岸上的人根本就還沒意識到出了什麼問題。 沒有任何人來搜尋他們。 我們當中大部分人沒有經歷過 這些船員所處的可怕情景， 但我們都知道害怕是什麼感覺。

We know how fear feels, but I'm not sure we spend enough time thinking about what our fears mean.

我們知道恐懼的感覺， 但是我不能肯定我們會花很多時間想過 我們的恐懼到底意味着什麼。

As we grow up, we're often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, just another childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.

我們長大以後，我們總是會被鼓勵把恐懼 視為軟弱，需要像乳牙或輪滑鞋一樣 扔掉的幼稚的東西。

And I think it's no accident that we think this way. Neuroscientists have actually shown that human beings are hard-wired to be optimists.

我想意外事故並非我們所想的那樣。 神經系統科學家已經知道人類 生來就是樂觀主義者。

So maybe that's why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself. "Don't worry," we like to say to one another. "Don't panic." In English, fear is something we conquer. It's something we fight.

這也許就是為什麼我們認為有時候恐懼， 本身就是一種危險或帶來危險。 “不要愁。”我們總是對別人説。“不要慌”。 英語中，恐懼是我們需要征服的東西。 是我們必須對抗的東西，是我們必須克服的東西。

It's something we overcome. But what if we looked at fear in a fresh way? What if we thought of fear as an amazing act of the imagination, something that can be as profound and insightful as storytelling itself?

但是我們如果換個視角看恐懼會如何呢? 如果我們把恐懼當做是想象力的一個驚人成果， 是和我們講故事一樣 精妙而有見地的東西，又會如何呢?

It's easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in young children, whose fears are often extraordinarily vivid.

在小孩子當中，我們最容易看到恐懼與想象之間的聯繫， 他們的恐懼經常是超級生動的。

When I was a child, I lived in California, which is, you know, mostly a very nice place to live, but for me as a child, California could also be a little scary.

我小時候住在加利福尼亞， 你們都知道，是非常適合居住的位置， 但是對一個小孩來説，加利福尼亞也會有點嚇人。

I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I sometimes couldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike while we were sleeping.

我記得每次小地震的時候 當我看到我們餐桌上的吊燈 晃來晃去的時候是多麼的嚇人， 我經常會徹夜難眠，擔心大地震 會在我們睡覺的時候突然襲來。

And what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have a vivid imagination. But at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kinds of visions behind and grow up.

我們説小孩子感受到這種恐懼 是因為他們有生動的想象力。 但是在某個時候，我們大多數學會了 拋棄這種想法而變得成熟。

We learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not every earthquake brings buildings down. But maybe it's no coincidence that some of our most creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.

我們都知道牀下沒有魔鬼， 也不是每個地震都會震垮房子。但是我們當中最有想象力的人們 並沒有因為成年而拋棄這種恐懼，這也許並不是巧合。

The same incredible imaginations that produced "The Origin of Species," "Jane Eyre" and "The Remembrance of Things Past," also generated intense worries that haunted the adult lives of Charles Darwin, Charlotte Bront and Marcel Proust. So the question is, what can the rest of us learn about fear from visionaries and young children?

同樣不可思議的想象力創造了《物種起源》， 《簡·愛》和《追憶似水年華》， 也就是這種與生俱來的深深的擔憂一直纏繞着成年的 查爾斯·達爾文， 夏洛特·勃朗特和馬塞爾·普羅斯特。 問題就來了， 我們其他人如何能從這些 夢想家和小孩子身上學會恐懼?

Well let's return to the year 1819 for a moment, to the situation facing the crew of the whaleship Essex. Let's take a look at the fears that their imaginations were generating as they drifted in the middle of the Pacific.

讓我們暫時回到1820xx年， 回到ESSEX捕鯨船的水手們面對的情況。 讓我們看看他們漂流在太平洋中央時 他們的想象力給他們帶來的恐懼感覺。

Twenty-four hours had now passed since the capsizing of the ship. The time had come for the men to make a plan, but they had very few options.

船傾覆後已經過了24個小時。 這時人們制定了一個計劃， 但是其實他們沒什麼太多的選擇。

In his fascinating account of the disaster, Nathaniel Philbrick wrote that these men were just about as far from land as it was possible to be anywhere on Earth.

在納撒尼爾·菲爾布里克(Nathaniel Philbrick)描述這場災難的 動人文章中，他寫到“這些人離陸地如此之遠， 似乎永遠都不可能到達地球上的任何一塊陸地。”

The men knew that the nearest islands they could reach were the Marquesas Islands, 1,200 miles away. But they'd heard some frightening rumors.

這些人知道離他們最近的島 是1200英里以外的馬克薩斯羣島(Marquesas Islands)。 但是他們聽到了讓人恐怖的謠言。

They'd been told that these islands, and several others nearby, were populated by cannibals. So the men ashore only to be murdered and eaten for dinner. Another possible destination was Hawaii, but given the season, the captain was afraid they'd be struck by severe storms.

他們聽説這些羣島， 以及附近的一些島嶼上都住着食人族。 所以他們腦中都是上岸以後就會被殺掉 被人當做盤中餐的畫面。 另一個可行的目的地是夏威夷， 但是船長擔心 他們會被困在風暴當中。

Now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500 miles due south in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the coast of South America.

所以最後的選擇是到最遠，也是最艱險的地方： 往南走1500英里希望某股風 能最終把他們 吹到南美洲的海岸。

But they knew that the sheer length of this journey would stretch their supplies of food and water. To be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms, to starve to death before reaching land.

但是他們知道這個行程中一旦偏航 將會耗盡他們食物和飲水的供給。 被食人族吃掉，被風暴掀翻， 在登陸前餓死。

These were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men, and as it turned out, the fear they chose to listen to would govern whether they lived or died.

這就是縈繞在這羣可憐的人想象中的恐懼， 事實證明，他們選擇聽從的恐懼 將決定他們的生死。

Now we might just as easily call these fears by a different name. What if instead of calling them fears, we called them stories?

也許我們可以很容易的用別的名稱來稱呼這些恐懼。 我們不稱之為恐懼， 而是稱它們為故事如何?

Because that's really what fear is, if you think about it. It's a kind of unintentional storytelling that we are all born knowing how to do. And fears and storytelling have the same components.

如果你仔細想想，這是恐懼真正的意義。 這是一種與生俱來的， 無意識的講故事的能力。 恐懼和講故事有着同樣的構成。

They have the same architecture. Like all stories, fears have characters. In our fears, the characters are us. Fears also have plots. They have beginnings and middles and ends. You board the plane.

他們有同樣的'結構。 如同所有的故事，恐懼中有角色。 在恐懼中，角色就是我們自己。 恐懼也有情節。他們有開頭，有中間，有結尾。 你登上飛機。

The plane takes off. The engine fails. Our fears also tend to contain imagery that can be every bit as vivid as what you might find in the pages of a novel. Picture a cannibal, human teeth sinking into human skin, human flesh roasting over a fire.

飛機起飛。結果引擎故障。 我們的恐懼會包括各種生動的想象， 不比你看到的任何一個小説遜色。 想象食人族，人類牙齒 咬在人類皮膚上， 人肉在火上烤。

Fears also have suspense. If I've done my job as a storyteller today, you should be wondering what happened to the men of the whaleship Essex. Our fears provoke in us a very similar form of suspense.

恐懼中也有懸念。 如果我今天像講故事一樣，留個懸念不説了， 你們也許會很想知道 ESSEX捕鯨船上，人們到底怎麼樣了。 我們的恐懼用懸念一樣的方式刺激我們。

Just like all great stories, our fears focus our attention on a question that is as important in life as it is in literature: What will happen next?

就像一個很好的故事，我們的恐懼也如同一部好的文學作品一樣， 將我們的注意力集中在對我們生命至關重要的問題上： 後來發生了什麼?

In other words, our fears make us think about the future. And humans, by the way, are the only creatures capable of thinking about the future in this way, of projecting ourselves forward in time, and this mental time travel is just one more thing that fears have in common with storytelling.

換而言之，我們的恐懼讓我們想到未來。 另外，人來是唯一有能力 通過這種方式想到未來的生物， 就是預測時間推移後我們的狀況， 這種精神上的時間旅行是恐懼 與講故事的另一個共同點。

As a writer, I can tell you that a big part of writing fiction is learning to predict how one event in a story will affect all the other events, and fear works in that same way.

我是一個作家，我要告訴你們寫小説一個很重要的部分 就是學會預測故事中一件 事情如何影響另一件事情， 恐懼也是同樣這麼做的。

In fear, just like in fiction, one thing always leads to another. When I was writing my first novel, "The Age Of Miracles," I spent months trying to figure out what would happen if the rotation of the Earth suddenly began to slow down. What would happen to our days?

恐懼中，如同小説一樣，一件事情總是導致另一件事情。 我寫我的第一部小説《奇蹟時代》的時候， 我花了數月的時間想象如果地球旋轉突然變慢了之後 會發生什麼。 我們的一天變得如何?

What would happen to our crops? What would happen to our minds? And then it was only later that I realized how very similar these questions were to the ones I used to ask myself as a child frightened in the night.

我們身體會怎樣? 我們的思想會有什麼變化? 也就是在那之後，我意識到 我過去總是問自己的那些些問題 和孩子們在夜裏害怕是多麼的相像。

If an earthquake strikes tonight, I used to worry, what will happen to our house? What will happen to my family? And the answer to those questions always took the form of a story.

要是在過去，如果今晚發生地震，我會很擔心， 我的房子會怎麼樣啊?家裏人會怎樣啊? 這類問題的答案通常都會和故事一樣。

Dear:

Universities should abolish the practice of cutting off the electricity at dormitory at night.

I agree with it. As a student, I should say, university shouldn't cut off electricity at dormitory at night. The original intention for university to cut off electricity is to ensure our rest for some students will stay up very late if there is nothing to limit them. However, these students are minority. Most students have regular timetable. What more, we are now already in university, I think we should be treated like high school students any longer. Especially in summer hot days, no electricity at night would be a nightmare to all students. We can't fall asleep without electric fans. I can't just imagine that. Universities should think more for their students and trust their self-control.

What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.

Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.

What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life! Wish you all good success!
