What College Education Means to Me

大學教育對我的意義

The title of my speech is "What college education means to me"eflecting on the past two and half years of my college experience, I come torealize how much it has shaped me.

今天我演講的題目是“大學教育對我的意義”。回顧思索着逝去的兩年半的大學生活，我漸漸認識到大學教育對我產生的巨大影響。

For me, college education is a marvelous ship-builder who designed me fromkneel plates up.

對我來説，大學教育猶如一位技藝精湛的造船師，從船頭至船尾地塑造了我。

With great vision, college education has equipped me, first with a powerfulpropeller----the sophisticated knowledge in certain field and wide exposure toother disciplines. By dedicating myself to the engineering courses in the dayand immersing myself in the rich banquet of the world literature at night, I'veamassed the driving force for the future and enriched my soul.

首先，具有遠見卓識的大學教育為我裝配了一隻馬力強勁的推進器;精深的專業知識及廣博的課外知識給我帶來無限動力。白天我全神貫注地研習自己的工科課程，晚上則盡情享受世界文學所帶來的盛宴，在此過程中，我既為未來積聚了力量，又充實了自己的靈魂。

Besides, college education has also provided me with a precisecompass----the sense of social responsibility. How can I best serve the interestof the public while achieving my self-fulfillment? My one year's experience as apart-time English teacher has testified: to be valuable to society as well as tofind my place, I have to possess some actual strength and the ability tofunction well in the most challenging situation. Amid the hectic schedule thatbalances club activities, sports, and academic courses, I feel the rhythm andbeauty in the intensity of my high-pitched life, knowing that I 'm on the rightway.

此外，大學教育還為我提供了一個精確的羅盤，即社會責任感。“如何才能在實現自我價值的同時最大限度地服務於社會?”我一年的兼職英語教師的經歷證明：只有擁有過硬的實力和對高挑戰性局面應付自如的能力，我才能成為一個對社會有價值的人，一個找到自己位置的人。在協調着社團活動、體育運動和專業課程的忙碌日程中，我感受到了高節奏、高密度生活的韻律與美麗。

And more importantly, college education has set up not only single ships,but also fleets with common destinations. By interacting with friends of commonbeliefs, I've acquired skills of relating to other people.

更為重要的是，大學教育不僅僅製造了一隻只單個的船隻，他還組建了一支支駛向同一目的地的大艦隊。在與志趣相投的朋友們的相處、融合中，我鍛鍊了與人交往的能力。

Now ,as a ship about to make my maiden voyage, I'm still not in theposition to tell what's waiting ahead of me ,but with a powerful propeller, aprecise compass and ardent companions of sailing in the sea of society, I'mready to be a great sea-explorer.

現在我即將作為一隻巨輪開始我的首航，儘管前方的情況還無法預料，我卻有充足的信心作一名出色的海洋探索者，因為我有強勁的推進器、精確的羅盤，還有一幫與我同行 、一起駛向社會之洋的熱心朋友!

Thank you.

謝謝大家!

needless to say， money is not very important， but very veryimportant.

if there is no money， i can’t use this microphone to speak to you andwecan’t have such a room to hold such a out money， we can’tstudyin such a out money， we can’t live in such outmoney， we can’t have such a the other hand， ifthere is no money，you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.

most of us have dreams about the future， dreams of having a good jobandmaking much ly someone has thought at times “if only i had a lotofmoney， i could be the happiest person in the world.” in fact it’s themainmistake that people make about money.

however， is money the road to happiness? not really! many people workeveryday， work overtime， work weekends to make a lot of they happy? are too busy making while， their personal lives， if theyhaveany， fall have no time to form or to maintain evenlose the abilities to relax and to enjoy ying meanstakingthings， taking time to see， to hear， to taste， to smell， to donottake time to do say: “i’ll do it when i have enough money toretire”then they find that it is too late.　　why we usually make such a mistakeandeven more mistakes? activists say it is because of money thinkmoney has changed many example， they think money has changed ourwayto measure someone’s value in the even regard money as thesourceof ， they hate money， but they are wrong， completely wrong.

in my opinion， it is unfair to y is a ， there’snodenying that we do something harmful with we can’t say money isthesource of like a hammer， we can use a hammer to kill someone， butcanwe say a hammer is a devil? it is the same with money.

money is neither good nor bad is a mirror， a perfect andimportantmirror， and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and thebrilliance other words， all depend on us.

so， my fellow students， ladies and gentlemen in the future， ask not whatwecan do for money， ask what money can do for us， ask what money can do toshowthe brilliance of use， we have the future; we are thefuture.

不用説，錢不是很重要，而是非常非常重要的。

如果沒有錢，我無法使用這個麥克風向大家講，我們不能有這樣一個房間召開這樣的競爭。沒有錢，我們不能在這樣的研究校園。沒有錢，我們不能生活在這樣的故鄉。沒有錢，我們不能有這樣的祖國。另一方面，如果沒有錢，你不需要承擔我的講話錢現在。

我們大多數人都對未來的夢想，夢想有一個良好的工作和決策的錢。當然有人認為，有時“如果我有很多錢，我可能是最幸福的人在世界上。”事實上，它的主要錯誤，人們作出關於金錢。

然而，就是金錢的道路上幸福嗎?不是真的!很多人每天上班，加班，工作週末作出了很多錢。他們是幸福嗎?第他們太忙着賺錢。與此同時，他們的個人生活，如果他們有任何，四分五裂。他們已經沒有時間去形式或保持友誼。他們甚至失去了能力的放鬆和享受。享受意味着外，抽空看到，聽到，品嚐，嗅覺，感覺。他們並不需要時間來做到這一點。他們説：“我會做到這一點，我有足夠的錢退休”，然後他們發現為時已晚。為什麼我們通常會提出這樣的錯誤，甚至更多的錯誤?活動人士説，這是因為金錢本身。他們認為，金錢改變了很多東西。例如，他們認為金錢改變了我們的方法來衡量人的價值在社會中。他們甚至把錢的來源邪惡。此外，他們憎恨金錢，但他們是錯誤的，完全錯誤的。

在我看來，這是不公平的錢。金錢是一種工具。嗯，有無可否認，我們做一些有害的金錢。但是，我們不能説，錢是罪惡的根源。就像一把錘子，我們可以用錘子殺死某人，但我們可以説錘子是魔鬼?這是同樣的錢。

錢是既不好也不壞本身。它是一面鏡子，是一個完美的和重要的一面鏡子，一面鏡子，映照出的黑暗和人性的光輝。換句話説，所有依賴於我們。

所以，我的同學，各位嘉賓，各位在未來，不要問我們能做些什麼的錢，什麼錢可以為我們做，什麼錢可以顯示人性的光輝。因為，我們的未來，我們是世界的未來。

Ladies and Gentlemen ,Good afternoon!I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short y my topic is “youth”.I hope you will like it ,and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.

First I want to ask you some questions:

1、 Do you know what is youth?

2、 How do you master your youth?

Youth

Youth is not a time of life,it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks ,red lips and supple knees,it is a matter of the emotions :it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite ,for adventure over the love of often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 dy grows old merely by a number of years grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years wrinkle the skin ,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul y ,fear ,self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .

Whether 60 of 16 ,there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders,the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station :so long as it receives messages of beauty ,hope ,cheer,courage and power from men and from the infinite,so long as you are young .

When the aerials are down ,and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,then you are grown old ,even at 20 ,but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism ,there is hope you may die young at 80.

Thank you!

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!

I am glad to be here to share my opinions with all of you. My topic today is about Internet.

With the development of technology, more and more people are fond of using Internet. It is particularly popular among young people. Just

like the coin has two sides, internet also has its own advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, the Internet has brought people great convenience in getting information, entertainment and contact with each other. As for our students, it is a useful tool when we meet problems. When we are tired, a piece of light music will help us relax. If we have free time, we can enjoy movies or interesting cartoons. What’s more, we can also watch live programs on the internet or see it later if we are not available at that time.

But there is also bad influence. Some of the young teenagers are addicted to computer games, and some even play games all night. Because of lacking in sleep, those students can not focus on in the class . As a result, they may fail in the exam. When they realize it is wrong to spend too much time playing games, it’s already too late.

I have remembered such a piece of news . An excellent student flunked (考試不及格) because he could not concentrate on his study for being too indulged in computer games. He spent nearly all the money on games, which was earned by his father's selling blood. When his father knelt down to beg him to return to school, he was too numb to show any regret.

The most serious harm of computer games come from their contents, which affects teenagers ' mental health. Many games involve violence, such as fighting and killing. When they enjoy the pleasure of success, a violent turn of mind is developed and rooted in them, which may induce future violent behaviour in their life.

So when computers' entertaining function is highly spoken of ,such a problem does deserve our serious concern.

In addition, long time's working before computer also does harm to health. The radiation from the computer can arose many uncomfortable feelings., like a headache, poor eyesight.

At last, people who are fond of making friends on line should also be careful. Many convicts use Internet as a way to cheat. Although it has many disadvantages , Internet has become an indispensable part of people's life in recent years. In my point of view, it’s wrong to blame Internet itself, it’s all depend on the way we use it. If we use it in a right way, it can be one of the best friends in our life. That 's all , thank you !

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

dear all,

life on earth are the most valuable things money can not buy, jewelry-for-not go back. life only once, should not renewable and will not re-come. students, and your life has just begun blooming flower, you are prosperous home sustenance, development of the chinese nation are the hope of; your future offspring transmission of both task and maintenance obligations of parents. therefore, you have to cherish life and take care of life, for themselves and for parents, good for homeland alive.

life for each person only once, no life, everything免談. therefore, we must firmly embrace the "yes to life, safety first" awareness of construction safety of our campus so that students can grow up healthily.

campus safety relates to our lives and learning potential safety problems have as many as 20 kinds, including traffic accidents, poisoning, fire fire, drowning, sports injury and so on. these are at times a threat to the healthy growth of young students. according to statistics, every year our country has around 16,000 unnatural deaths in the primary, elementary and middle school students because of safety accidents, food poisoning, drowning and other deaths, the average has more than 40 people every day, that is to say every day there will be a class of students at "disappeared." so we not only have safety awareness, and more importantly, prevention awareness and preventive measures. study at daily life, we should note the following:

one, pay attention to safety recess activity. want the students up and down stairs in an orderly manner and must not hurriedly up and down, up and down the stairs right to cultivate the good habit of walking to prevent accidents on campus crowded stampede. rainy at our school buildings and office building corridor, staircase, will be very slippery, please the whole student must light when walking at the foot walk. everyone should pay attention to civilization recess breaks should not chased noisy.

2, it is necessary to pay attention to traffic safety. we must strictly comply with rules of the road, without people to ride, not red light running, horse way to go before crosswalks, it is necessary to take the initiative to avoid motor vehicles. not want to develop the habit of school by bike.

3, pay attention to food safety. not to buy "three noes" of food; we should not be at the school gate and street stalls mobile buy snacks, to prevent food poisoning. to learn how to protect themselves, take care of themselves, pay attention not to overeating, try eating less food cold.

4, it is necessary to pay attention to sports safety. on physical education and extra-curricular activities to prepare before the warming-up, attention should be paid to exercise when not to dramatic collision, so as not to be knocked down or fall.

5, it is necessary to pay attention to internet security. network is a very good learning tool, we can use it to gather information, broaden our horizon. but the network also has a lot of harm, if unhealthy internet browsing web pages, or indulge in unrestrained virtual space, then it will affect our physical and mental health.

6 students for their own actions but also have safety awareness. student encountered at the contradictions between, we want a calm, rational, should not substitute for reasoning with fists, give themselves and their classmates bring about adverse effects. conflict with the people must bear in mind: the broader picture.

teacher and fellow students, only one person's life. a collision, a wrestling are probably the lives of vulnerable people's hard to imagine the harm caused. therefore want to protect their own safety,

we comply with the minimum required, the most simple rules and order. let us bear in mind: human life, safety first! let us work together to create a harmonious campus, campus safety!

In the world, I am sure that no one dare say he hasn't met any trouble allhis life. So we must face failure. In fact, failure is not fearful, butimportant thing is how to face it correctly. Facing failure, people will nevertake their fate lying will try their best to work harder and harderuntil at last they succeed.

Not being courageous to face setbacks, people have no chance to enjoy thepleasure of success. So they have nothing to do but feel sad and empty all dayand all night. In fact, they lose the chance of success themselves.

My friend, whenever in trouble, please remember, “Failure is the mother ofsuccess.”

Twists and turns in life are unavoidable and are not always bad. We shouldhave a more optimistic view on life and try to make the most of it and drawlessons from the bumps and turns along the way.

If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is theability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because theperson was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his nextundertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to it isn't defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeatthe guide and encouragement to success. Defeats are nothing to be ashamed are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. Butdefeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without humiliation, analyze it andlearn why you failed.

Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only doesdefeat prepare us for success, but nothing can arouse within us such acompelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull itaway, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is is this same reaction which should give you new and greater strength everytime you are defeated. If you exploit the power which defeat gives, you canaccomplish with it far more than you are capable of.

My fellow and my friends；

Once I read a piece of news report. It says， ＂A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day. His brother， whose age excelled school age， was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother＇s pencil at his side. Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully， his little eyes were winking， and said to his brother seriously， ＂When will it thirty-second， brother？＂ The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile， ＂What are you going to do on that thirty-second？＂ ＂Papa promised me to send me to school，＂ said his younger brother. His brother， the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles. My God！ My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling. They were exhausted. How could they afford my younger brother＇s schooling？ Oh， thirty-second ...

My dear friends， hearing this， didn＇t you feel sorry for them？ We share the same native land， the same blue sky under the sun. Why cannot they be given lesson at school， sitting in the bright and big classroom？ We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country. But now the country＇s fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough. What should we do？ It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.

同胞們，朋友們：

我曾看過這樣一則報道：＂某邊遠山區一箇中學生，一天在家複習功課，一旁的已過入學年齡的小弟弟拿他的鉛筆在紙上寫着、塗着、畫着，突然若有所思地仰起小臉，眨巴幾下小眼睛，認真地問：＇哥哥，什麼時候才到32號呀？＇這位中學生看看天真的小弟弟，笑着逗他：＇32號你要幹啥？＇＇爸爸説，到32號才能送我去上學。＇中學生望着可愛的小弟弟，內心針扎般難受：天哪，父母為了供自己上學，整日操勞，身體都累垮了，哪還有能力再送弟弟上學？啊！32號......＂

朋友們，當你聽了這個故事，你不感到痛心嗎？同在一片故土上，同在一片藍天下，為什麼他們不能坐在寬敞明亮的教室裏去讀書？我們常説：國家要振興，教育須先行。而我國的財力、物力都不寬裕，怎麼辦？這就需要全社會的人齊心協力為國家分憂，為國家出力！

Ad see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.

in the matter of courage we all have our limits. there never was a hero who did not have his bounds. i suppose it may be said of nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

i have found mine a good many times. sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. i know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

i never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. i should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. if i attempt to talk across a room i find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods i have part of the audience behind me. you ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.

i'll sit down.
