篇一：演讲稿__顾秋蓓
顾秋蓓比赛演讲
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today I would like to begin with a story.
There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life. To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6) timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.
Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many
problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.
All these 7) appalling(令人震惊的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8) eroding(侵蚀) our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global
travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of
tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection
organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9) plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10) invalids(残疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.
This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.
The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.
And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.
Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Dian Fossey be- cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.
And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.
Thank you very much.
Companionship of Books 以书为伴（节选）
Companionship of Books
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting
products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.
译文：
以书为伴（节选）
通常看一个读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，我们都应该以最好的为伴。
好书就像是你最好的朋友。它始终不渝，过去如此，现在如此，将来也永远不变。它是最有耐心，最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们穷愁潦倒，临危遭难时，它也不会抛弃我们，对我们总是一如既往地亲切。在我们年轻时，好书陶冶我们的性情，增长我们的知识；到我们年老时，它又给我们以慰藉和勉励。
人们常常因为喜欢同一本书而结为知已，就像有时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而成为朋友一样。有句古谚说道：“爱屋及屋。”其实“爱我及书”这句话蕴涵更多的哲理。书是更为真诚而高尚的情谊纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作家沟通思想，交流感情，彼此息息相通，并与自己喜欢的作家思想相通，情感相融。
好书常如最精美的宝器，珍藏着人生的思想的精华，因为人生的境界主要就在于其思想的境界。因此，最好的书是金玉良言和崇高思想的宝库，这些良言和思想若铭记于心并多加珍视，就会成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。
书籍具有不朽的本质，是为人类努力创造的最为持久的成果。寺庙会倒坍，神像会朽烂，而书却经久长存。对于伟大的思想来说，时间是无关紧要的。多年前初次闪现于作者脑海的伟大思想今日依然清新如故。时间惟一的作用是淘汰不好的作品，因为只有真正的佳作才能经世长存。
书籍介绍我们与最优秀的人为伍，使我们置身于历代伟人巨匠之间，如闻其声，如观其行，如见其人，同他们情感交融，悲喜与共，感同身受。我们觉得自己仿佛在作者所描绘的舞台上和他们一起粉墨登场。
即使在人世间，伟大杰出的人物也永生不来。他们的精神被载入书册，传于四海。书是人生至今仍在聆听的智慧之声，永远充满着活力。

下午好,女士们先生们。今天我想先从一个故事开始。
从前有一个身体治疗师曾飞越一路从美国到非洲去做一件2)(3)关于山普查大猩猩。这些大猩猩是一个主要吸引来自世界各地的游客,这将严重威胁下他们4)盗猎、被放进动物园。出于好奇,她去那里,但她看到她的决心去把加强她的一生去争取那些美丽的生物。她目睹了一个场景,一个场景带我们到一个地方我们从未描绘我们曾经有过的,在《非常深的非洲雨林,周围的树木、花朵和蝴蝶,母亲大猩猩5)抱着她们的婴儿。
是的,那是一个令人难忘的场景在我最喜欢的电影之一,叫做《迷雾里的大猩猩,基于一个真实的故事Fossey夫人殿,打赌一生的大部分时间都在卢旺达保护环境一直到快结束的时候,她的生命。
对我来说,这部电影不仅给出一个令人难忘的场景,但也是作为一个6)永恒的提醒我们不应该发展旅游业的环境代价。
今天,我们生活在这样一个世界的繁荣,但仍威胁,所以许多新的问题。一方面,旅游作为最有前途的产业二十一号世纪,给人们提供了伟大的机会去看那里的所有东西都是要看的东西和去其他地方有去。它已成为一种生活方式对某些人来说,已成为国内生产总值(GDP)增长的驱动力。它有魔法将变成一个奇景落后城镇繁荣。但另一方面,各种问题就有可能出现的场景——-natural不自然了。提出森林砍伐加热是灾难性的尼泊尔。从游客船发生漏油事故污染南极洲。部落的人放弃他们本国的音乐和衣服听U2在随身听和穿着耐克和调查。
所有这些7)骇人听闻的(令人震惊的)事实使我们认识到我们不能再袖手旁观,什么都不做,因为一想到已经8)侵蚀(侵蚀我们的资源。令人鼓舞的是,爆炸性增长的全球旅行使旅游再次成为了人们关注的焦点,这就是为什么联合国已经使2002年生态旅游,首次对给世界的关注,旅游的好处,但它也要破坏我们的生态容量。
现在每一年,很多当地的生态环境保护机构,一个接收捐款——大笔记、小票甚至硬币——从家庭主妇、9)水管工(水管工人)、救护车司机、销售人员、老师、孩子和10)残疾人(残疾人),一些人买不起送钱的,但他们确实。这些是谁驾驶的车,在医院里当护士,在遭受生态破坏他们的邻居。为什么?因为他们的照顾。因为他们还希望他们的自然母亲回来。因为他们知道它仍然属于他们。
这种感觉,我有,女士们,先生们,是当感觉它,闻起来像它,它看起来很像,都是来自现场记住,现场回忆和珍惜。
那天晚上,我看到月亮流连土地和前面被送入无形的,我的心充满了歌。我发现自己轻轻地发出的嗡嗡声,而不是音乐,但对一些-其他东西,别的某处。一个地方人们记住它,一个地方不动,一片草地,在那里,无人似乎已经除了鹿。
和所有的那些难忘的场景感觉它是强化了石灰为我们去做某件事,对于我们自己和我们的后代。
有一次,我已经觉得夫人滇Fossey——因为这是与她的精神,热情,勇气和强烈的意识,我
们的环境,我们正我们下一步要走向世界。
无论我们是谁,我们在做什么和我们去哪儿,我们的想法,总是有一个场景,记住,一个场景值得我们努力保护它,为它而奋斗。
非常感谢你。
