英語競賽演講【篇1】
英語競賽演講:全世界的通用語言
the arrival of the year 1999 has brought with a near perfect opportunity to take a look back at the last one thousand years, assess man’s successes and failures, and look forward with our predictions of the third millennium.
already this afternoon you’ve heard many assessments and you’ve heard a variety of predictions. a variety so vast, ranging from lewis carol’s depiction of celebratory life, to the irish celebration of death. so vast a variety that it’s difficult to find any common ground amongst the contestants here today. perhaps the only thing that we all share is that we are indeed discussing millennia, the old and the new and the turn of the millennium, and we’re all discussing it in the same language.
a few hundred years ago to have held an event like this it would have been imperative that we were all fluent in a number of different tongues, for the approach of combating the language barrier was simply to learn many different languages. of course people back then had an ulterior motive: that was to ensure that different languages held their different societies or positions, or as king charles v of spain put it, “ i speak spanish to god, italian to women, french to men and german to my horse.”
today our approach is somewhat different. instead of trying to vastly spread our verbal ability across the board, we’ve chosen rather to focus it, concentrating on our ability to master one particular language, the english language. time magazine recently suggested that by the turn of the millennium, english will be the lingua franca for one quarter of the world’s population. already today sixty percents of the world’s television and radio broadcasts are produced and delivered in english. seventy percents of the world’s mail addressed in english. and it is the language of choice for almost every bite of computer data sent across the globe.
but why english? there are no clear linguistic reasons for its suggested global dominance, certainly the grammar is complicated, the spelling peculiar and the pronunciation eccentric, to say the very least. one would need only look through the dictionary to find the vast list of amusing paradoxes in the english language?quicksand that works slowly, a boxing ring that is in fact square and a guinea pig that’s really neither from guinea nor is it a pig. doesn’t it seem odd that one can make amends but not one amend. or go through the annals of history but not one annal. the reason, ladies and gentlemen, is simple. english is strange, but no where near as strange as some of our alternatives.
perhaps i should give you a few idiomatic examples. in english we say “once in a blue moon”. the italian choose instead “every death of a pope”. irish doesn’t like our “drop dead”, replacing it rather with the slightly more obscure “you should lie in the earth.” and if you wanted to tell someone off in spanish our relatively obvious “go fly a kite” would be better served by the phrase “go fry asparagus”. english’s primary advantage is that of flexibility. on the one hand it has the largest vocabulary of all modern languages, allowing us, as its users, to say exactly what we want in exactly the words we choose to use. on the other, globalization has insured the introduction of a business english, a sort of trimmed down variety of the language we’ve all come to know and love.
it’s interesting to know that the simple list of just ten words, words like “a”, “and”, “have” and “the”, combined to form one quarter of all those ever used in modern communication. perhaps the real test is: will the global adoption of english as a master language insure the eradication of any misunderstandings that happen today? the answer is not as simple. russell hoven once asked: “how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?” but one can only hope that our only aim and our only chance of insuring that we communicate effectively with each other is to make sure that we do speak one universal language. in a thousand years time western clocks will hopefully have ticked onto the year 2999 and we can be assured that scientists, academics and futurists will convene, much like we’ve done today to look back at the third millenium and offer their predictions for the successes of the forth.
it’s impossible to imagine what they might say, impossible to imagine what technology they’ll have available or even which planet they’ll hold the meeting on. in fact, quite possibly the only thing we can say for sure is that they’ll be discussing the issues in one common universal language. and that will be the language of the third millennium. and that language without any doubt looks set to be english. thank you.

二〇一三年十一月二十二日篇二：英語演講比賽心得
商務溝通英語演講心得
在這次商務溝通英語演講比賽當中，我做為一名選手，感受頗深，這也是我第一次參加這樣展示自我的一次比賽，應該對于我來說意義
非凡，學到了不少。收獲榮譽的同時，我的心靈受到了強烈的震撼和
洗禮，參加此次演講比賽是我人生中非常特別的一次體驗，不僅僅是
比賽的環(huán)節(jié)和考驗給我留下了深刻的印象，而且這一路走來的心理歷
練也讓我收獲頗多。
以前也參加過比賽，但是沒有這么大型，這是一場全國型的比賽，恰好是一次難得的機會，憑借這個舞臺可以綻放自己，畢竟做為一名
新手，我沒有足夠的經(jīng)驗。而且我們講的都是英文的內容，我們的主
題是極好的運動和鍛煉，內容詳細并且豐富，ppt制作也是制作精
美，在比賽之前，我們做足了準備，我們排練過，在老師的幫助下，我們一起表演，在學校的會議室里，當時我并不緊張，因為在學校我們本來我是做了充分的準備的了，但是面對如此多的觀眾和評委，心
里難免有些緊張，自己的眼神不敢與他們進行對接，無法很好地做到
與他們進行心靈的交流。但從其他選手的身上我看到了他們在面對如
此多觀眾時的那種從容鎮(zhèn)定、臨危不亂。自己覺得我在這方面與他們
還有一定的距離，我應該與他們多交流、學習，努力去克服這方面的不足。
通過這幾次的演講比賽下來，首先我最想表達的就是感謝。正是
因為老師們對我的全力支持，才有了我今天出色的演講。在此，我要 感謝我的我的老師佘小潔給我的演講稿做的點睛式地鼓舞，我還要感
謝張教鳶，朱捷老師幫我們進行排練付出的辛苦，正是因為有這兩位
老師在演講技巧和稿件寫作上給予了我很大幫助和啟發(fā)，才有我在演
講臺上的“淋漓表演”，使我信心越來越強。其次，具體到演講過程中，首先要有一個好的演講稿，演講稿的題材、角度一定要新穎，絕不重
復別人的故事，你想那么多的參賽選手，如果學習的榜樣總是那幾位
英雄，無論你多么慷慨激昂，評委們聽得多了，便也不會覺得新穎了，因此你的演講稿就沒有什么亮點。一個演講要有亮點，什么是亮點？
與眾不同。很多參賽選手都有自己的故事，顧不上自己的身體，顧不 上自己的家庭，顧不上自己的孩子，全心撲在工作上，令人感動，令
人欽佩，但這些故事聽了讓人感到酸楚，難道這就是我們的生活？我想在做好本職工作的同時，也應該照顧好家庭：我們熱愛自己的工作，也熱愛自己的家人；我們辛勤的付出，當然也要享受付出后的收獲、喜悅、積極、陽光、向上、幸福才是我們生活的主旋律。
另外還有六個方面的小技巧：
1、一見傾心：演講者著裝得體、精神振奮、姿態(tài)優(yōu)雅，會使聽眾有個很好的第一印象。
2、一鳴驚人： 在演講開場的三句話內，要能在聲音、情感、語調上一炮打響，打動
聽眾，這樣演講就很容易成功。
3、一語中的：在演講中，演講者要
在適當?shù)臅r候，一般在熱烈的當口上，以簡單明確的慨括性語言，說
出你的主題觀點，最好能用上排比句式來表達，會給聽眾留下深刻印
象。
4、情理交融：演講之所以要有演的成分，是因為要先體現(xiàn)以情
說理，再以理服人。所以在演講中，演講者要善于運用動人感人的事
例、體驗典型人和物、調動聽眾的情感，在引起情感共鳴的基礎上，適時闡明道理和主題，常常會使你的演講效果倍增。
5、言行一致：
演講中與聽眾的交流非常重要，演講是有對象性的。在演講中要注意
到臺下聽眾的特點，并且有意的通過眼神表情與臺下交流。
6、首尾 相接：最簡潔的突出主題的方法，把演講的開頭和結尾聯(lián)系起來，甚
至是重復開頭的演講題目，都不失為很好的方法，這樣會使聽眾對主
題更清楚。
以上就是我參加演講比賽的一些體會。每一次比賽都是一次成長，我會珍藏演講之旅帶給我的收獲，常思這些要感謝的人，不斷激
勵自己前行。

【注】海選采用統(tǒng)一演講稿以利于選手之間的比較。其主要考查選手語音語調、演講風格。
海選時，采取突然淘汰法，即準備不充分、語音語調差的直接淘汰。反之，直接晉級。只是.......要麻煩大家背誦了！其實.......你有把握前兩段就打動評委，那.......（不說了）。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.”
參考譯文
世界是我們的，未來是我們的一些人說“我們正在讀一本無窮的書中的第一章的第一節(jié)?！蔽也恢勒l寫了這些話，但是我一直很喜歡它，因為它提醒了我，我們能夠創(chuàng)造我們想要的未來。
我們都是農(nóng)夫。如果我們播下好的種子，我們將會豐收。如果我們的種子很差，有很多草籽，收割的將是無用的莊稼。如果我們什么也不播種，什么收獲也沒有。
我們是年輕的?！霸鯓佣冗^青春?”這是個有意義的問題。為了去回答它，我首先要問“從‘青春’這個詞中你能理解到什么?” 青春不是人生的一個時期，而是精神的一種狀態(tài)。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志。青春是生命的深泉在涌流.一位詩人說“從一粒沙看世界，從一朵花看天堂，把無限放在你的手掌，永恒在一剎那里收藏”。幾天前，我有了一個聽講座的機會，從中我學到了很多東西?，F(xiàn)在，我想把這些與大家共享。讓我們伸出右手，我們可以看到手掌中的展示我們的愛，事業(yè)和生活的三條線。我在生活方面這條線很短，那你們的呢?我想知道我們是否可以用這種辦法去看我們的未來。好的，讓我們一起握拳。我們的未來在哪兒?我們的愛、事業(yè)和生活在哪兒?告訴我!是的，它們就在我們的手中。它們被我們自己掌握著。我們所有人都希望未來能比過去更美好，但是未來能自己變得更好。不要因為結束而哭泣，微笑吧，為你的曾經(jīng)擁有。從過去來看，生活是艱苦的，但我們是更堅強。我們知道我們不能選擇感覺，但是我們能選擇和它相關的東西。失敗并不意味著你不擁有成功，它只意味著你應該用另一種方式去做這件事。失敗并不意味著你應該放棄，只意味著你應該更加努力。正如我在前面所說的“我們正在讀一本無窮的書中的第一章的第一節(jié)。”過去的已經(jīng)過去，無論我們無力改變，但是未來卻在我們前方。相信“我們給了世界什么，世界也將給我們”。并且從今天起，讓我們一起做我們自己的主人，一起大聲說出“世界是我們的，未來是我們的。

Chinese intellectual revolution and sociopolitical reform movement. In 1915 young intellectuals inspired by Chen Duxiu began agitating for the reform and strengthening of Chinese society through acceptance of Western science, democracy, and schools of thought, one objective being to make China strong enough to resist Western imperialism. On May 4, 1919, reformist zeal found focus in a protest by Beijings students against the Versailles Peace Conferences decision to transfer former German concessions in China to Japan. After more than a month of demonstrations, strikes, and boycotts of Japanese goods, the government gave way and refused to sign the peace treaty with Germany. The movement spurred the successful reorganization of the Nationalist Party and gave birth to the Chinese Communist Party. See also Treaty of Versailles.
中國知識分子的革命和社會政治改革運動。1915青年知識分子的靈感來自于陳獨秀開始鼓動改革和加強華人社會通過接受西方科學，民主，和學校的思想，一個目的是使中國強大到足以抵抗西方帝國主義。195月4日，改革的熱情，發(fā)現(xiàn)北京的學生對凡爾賽和平會議的決定，特許權轉讓前德國在中國對日本抗議的焦點。經(jīng)過一個多月的示威游行，罷工，和抵制日貨，政府給予的方式，拒絕與德國簽署和平條約。運動引發(fā)的民族主義黨成功重組，催生了中國共產(chǎn)黨。又見凡爾賽條約。

In Calaveras, California, there lived a man whose name was Jim Smiley. Jim enjoyed betting somuch that he would bet on anything. If anyone said good morning to him, he would bet themthat it was not a good morning. Whenever there was a horse race or a chicken fight, Jim wouldbet on it. He didn’t care which side he bet on, as long as he had a bet.
One day, Jim showed a frog to a stranger who had just arrived in Calaveras, and bet thestranger forty dollars that the frog can jump farther and faster than any other in CalaverasCounty. The stranger said he didn’t see anything about the frog different from any other, and ifhe had a frog he would bet Jim. Jim left his frog with the stranger and go out to find a frog forthe stranger. Meanwhile, the stranger took out a bag of gunshot, forcing the frog’s mouthopen and poured the shot into it.
Soon Jim returned with a frog for the stranger.The two frogs were put on the floor, and theneach man gave his frog a push. The stranger’s frog hopped off smartly. But Jim’s frog just satthere, unable to move an inch. Jim had no choice. He gave forty dollars to the stranger, whotook the money and started away. Jim picked up his frog, and found it extremely heavy. Heturned it upside down, and the gunshot came out. He knew he had been fooled and, like a madman, started running after the stranger.
As he ran, he passed one of his friends, who asked him where he was going.
“To catch a thief!” shouted Jim. “No matter how fast he may run, I'll catch him. I'll bet you fivedollars!”
在加利福尼亞的卡拉維拉斯縣，有個人名叫吉姆?斯邁里。他好打賭，見什么賭什么。要是有人跟他說“早上好”，他會說，這天早上不怎么樣，不信就打個賭。只要有賽馬和斗雞，他都要去賭。在哪一邊下注他不在乎，有機會賭就行。
有一天，吉姆見到一個來到卡拉維拉斯縣的陌生人，就把自己的一只青蛙給他看，說這是卡拉維拉斯全縣跳得最快最遠的青蛙，不信就打個賭，賭40塊錢。陌生人說他看不出那只蛙有什么非凡之處，如果他手頭有一只蛙，就賭一賭。聽了這話，吉姆就把自己的青蛙交給陌生人看管，出去為陌生人找一只蛙來。他不在的時候，陌生人掏出一口袋鉛彈，掰開青蛙嘴，把鉛彈灌了進去。
不久吉姆就給陌生人帶了一只青蛙回來。兩只青蛙在地上擺好，然后各人將各自的青蛙輕輕一推。陌生人的青蛙一下子就跳起來，跳得好快好遠。但吉姆的蛙卻呆在那里紋絲不動，像釘在地上似的。吉姆無奈，只得交出40塊錢。陌生人拿了錢就走了。吉姆把自己的蛙拿起來，覺得沉甸甸的。他把蛙倒提起來一抖，鉛彈掉了出來。他知道自己上了當，就像瘋子似的去追陌生人。
正跑著，一個朋友瞧見他，不問他風風火火地去干什么。
“去抓賊!”他吼道，“無論他跑得有多快，我都要追上他。不信打5塊錢的賭!”

全國英語演講比賽范文
As quoted from “How to make steel”: The most precious thing to us is life. We can only live but once, thus, our life should be like this, when looking back, you don’t have to be regretful about those wasted time and shameful about the mediocre life. Then till the end of his life, we can conclude that we have devoted our whole life to the most valuable thing in the world----dedication to human’s liberation. These sentences touch me most, and remind me to think about how we should live through our life, and what the most important thing in my life is! Looking retrospectively about my past twenty years, lot’s of failures. But I know that the future is in my hand. There is one more important thing in my life is to cherish, cherish the person loves you and you love.
Well, to be honest, I don’t think I was such kind of a filial daughter. Because all I think about was to get away from then as far as possible, to free myself. I never have the feeling of homesick, even though when I stepped into my home and saw my lost-lost mother. In fact, my heart has been in self-approach.
But, what should I do? It seems strange for me to say “ I love you” to them, because they don’t need those unpractical words, by the way, I’m not good at it. So I decided to concentrate myself on study to repay them, which seems to be passive. But today, one thing happened strengthened my feeling about them.
I have sore throat all these days. I didn’t take it serious, because I think it will recover soon. However, the condition became worse. Except headache, fever, runny nose, sore throat, slight tiredness, I was all right. To my disappointment, the latest clinic is being reconstructed, and I have no idea about other clinics. So I tended to my native friends for help, one was no answered, the other is shutdown. The first person hit upon my mind was my sister, who is far away from me. She did all she can to comfort me and give me suggestions. I didn’t realize it how touched I was as soon as I finished my conversation, my mother called me. I’ve been trying to ail myself, but without success, with large drops of tears rolling down upon my check. I can’t remember exactly what’s it saying on the other side, my helpless, lonely heart was saved eventually. In order not to let her worry, I turned off it in a hurry. How useleI was! With the helping of my roommate, I went to see the doctor. And now I’m better.
This small incident teaches me that the most important in our life is to cherish the person you love and the person loves you. My friends, we can only live but once. Why not cherish and repay those you’ve owned? Don’t regret till we are old!
