大學(xué)生英語(yǔ)演講稿:What Is Real Beauty

字號(hào):

dear teachers and fellow students.
    it is human nature that all of us should be fond of beauty. everybody was born with a heart for beauty.
    today in china,with the rising of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly. some people spare no money or energy on beautiful clothes, fashionable hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks. but it seems to me,all
    these are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.
    in my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance and neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty. as we all know,so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only beautiful appearance to be mentioned, but to us humanbeings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important. this was confirmed by a famous russian writer in words much like this: "a person is
    not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely. "
    here, i'd like to quote two typical instances and i'm sure, my dear friends,from them you'll find out what real beauty is.
    recently i learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer. she is very charming with a sweet beautiful voice and very famous for singing the song."devotion of love". not long ago,she was invited to zhejiang province to give performance. the moment she was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward. worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once. instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece. thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour. so when she at last showed up and started to sing "devotion of love",a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,"you don't have any devotion of love. you are not qualified to sing this song ! "hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the man. at this time the whole audience burst into an uproar.
    how disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this! it is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.
    now, i'm coming to another true story. it's about a poor, ordinary looking old woman. she was a widow without any children, living barely from hand to mouth by picking odds and ends from rubbish heaps. however,she took in more than ten homeless orphans successively and managed to bring them up. every day she labored from morning till night. in order to earn as much money as possible to raise the children and to keep them in school,she even went to a hospital regularly to sell her blood. she got so weak for the loss of blood that she sometimes fell in a faint on her way home.
    親愛的老師和同學(xué)。
    是人的本性,我們大家都應(yīng)該喜歡美女。每個(gè)人都與生俱來(lái)的美麗的心。
    今天在中國(guó),隨著我們生活水平的上升,人們的美的要求相應(yīng)提高。有些人不惜金錢和精力在漂亮的衣服,時(shí)尚的發(fā)型,裝飾他們的房子,甚至改善自己的外表。但在我看來(lái),所有
    這些都是或多或少地局限于外表的美,或者說(shuō),外在的美。
    在我看來(lái),我們不應(yīng)該只注重美觀和忽視心靈的美化和我們所追求的應(yīng)該是完美的外在美和內(nèi)在美統(tǒng)一。眾所周知,所以對(duì)象和動(dòng)物而言,只有美麗的外表被提及,但對(duì)我們?nèi)祟?雖然真正重要的外在美,內(nèi)在美更重要。證實(shí)了這是一位的俄國(guó)作家用文字就像這樣:"一個(gè)人
    不可愛的美麗,但是美麗是可愛的。”
    在這里,我想引用兩個(gè)典型的實(shí)例,我相信,我親愛的朋友,從他們身上你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)什么是真正的美。
    最近我從收音機(jī)一不愉快的事件關(guān)于一個(gè)的歌手。她很迷人甜蜜美麗的聲音和非常有名的唱著歌?!稅鄣姆瞰I(xiàn)》。不久前,她被邀請(qǐng)到浙江省給性能。那一刻她出現(xiàn)在舞臺(tái)上時(shí),她突然要求更多的回報(bào)。更糟的是,她的要求被滿足后,她才開始唱歌。相反,她把她的時(shí)間一塊一塊的數(shù)所有的錢。因此她讓觀眾等了半個(gè)小時(shí)。所以,當(dāng)她終于出現(xiàn)了,開始唱“愛的奉獻(xiàn)”,一名男子從座位上站起來(lái),朝她吼道,“你沒(méi)有任何愛的奉獻(xiàn)。你沒(méi)有資格唱這首歌!”聽了這話,這位歌手停止了唱歌,開始喊虐待她的手指指著那個(gè)男人。此時(shí)整個(gè)觀眾爆發(fā)出一片嘩然。
    如何失望她的熱心聽眾當(dāng)他們得知這個(gè)!這是歌手自己寵壞了她美麗的形象在別人眼里。
    現(xiàn)在,我來(lái)到另一個(gè)真實(shí)的故事。它是關(guān)于一個(gè)貧窮、普通的老女人。她是一個(gè)寡婦沒(méi)有任何孩子,生活勉強(qiáng)勉強(qiáng)糊口的挑選零碎的垃圾成堆。然而,她在十多個(gè)無(wú)家可歸的孤兒撫養(yǎng)的先后和管理。她每天從早到晚困難。為了掙盡可能多的錢養(yǎng)活孩子們,讓他們?cè)趯W(xué)校里,她甚至去醫(yī)院定期出售她的血液。她變得如此虛弱的失血,她有時(shí)在一個(gè)微弱的在回家的路上。
