no young man believes he shall ever die. it was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one. there is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. to be young is to be as one of the immortal gods. one half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countletreasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. we make the coming age our own-
the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea air which we regard not. others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. as in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-
bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
and 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.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-Oevident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. i have a dream today!
When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children-black men and white men , jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “free at least ,free at last . Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”
我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)：有一天，這個(gè)國(guó)家將站起來(lái)，并實(shí)現(xiàn)他的信條的真正含義：我們將捍衛(wèi)這些不言而喻的真理，即所有人生來(lái)平等。我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)：有一天在喬治亞洲紅色的山丘上，從前的奴隸的子孫們能和奴隸主的子孫們像兄弟一樣坐在同一張桌旁;我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)我的四個(gè)孩子有一天將生活在這樣一個(gè)國(guó)度，在那里，人們不以膚色，而是以品格來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)他們。
當(dāng)自由的鐘聲響起的時(shí)候，當(dāng)我們讓它從每一個(gè)村莊，每一個(gè)州，每一個(gè)城市響起的時(shí)候，我們將能夠加速這一天的到來(lái)。那是，上帝所有的孩子，無(wú)論黑人白人還是猶太人，異教徒。天主教徒，還是新教徒，他們都能夠手挽手歌唱那古老的黑人圣歌：“終于自由了，終于自由了，感謝上帝，我們終于自由了!”

In spring, seedling ground, frantically grow taller, that is they dream in the dance; Summul, lian lian, blue light quiver decorated, that is the heart of the wind in the dance; Autumn, yellow leaves, so complex, that is Ye Zaiyong life dance; Winter, snow flying, hovering circle again, that is Snow White in the dance with soul.
Three is the dance of Ruth, wearing chains want to dance.
Out of the higher carelessly, faded high impetuous, we lit candles dream, shine the light of hope, in this play rhythm of light and shade easy start.
18 years old, no longer complain about the heavy chains. Parents' expectation, the teacher's hands, the good tomorrow, generally in the third year in the night sky the stars shine. We are willing to bear the weight, because of the thickness of that there is life; Our whole heart cherish the heavy, because it is in the life most the genial spring scenery.
18 years old, no longer complain in chains. Began to pay attention to his father's white hair, wrinkles began to love his mother, began to understand the teacher's painstaking. 18 years old birthday, don't party, don't cake, don't gift, just want to a person coagulation cautious but dozens of years, eight years lost, cherish, thirsty... We are willing to accept the bondage, because that is the gift of the creator; We appreciate those bound by heart, because that is the most happiness in life.
Three is a dance, dance of life chain!
We are not afraid to take responsibility, we are not afraid of the challenge of fate, we will use shackles on the musical rhythm, in the time of the fly with the wind...
To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off When it rains. But actually the umbrella wasn't invented as protection against rain. Its first use was a shade against the sun!
在我們看來(lái),下雨打傘是很自然的事。 但事實(shí)上傘在發(fā)明的時(shí)候并不是用來(lái)防雨的,而是用來(lái)遮陽(yáng)的 。
Nobody knows who first invented it, hut the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century BC.
沒有人知道是誰(shuí)發(fā)明了傘,但是傘在很早很早的古代就開始使用了 。可能首先使用傘的人是中國(guó)人,這要追溯到公元前11世紀(jì)。
We know the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was duanwenw a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.
我們知道,在古埃及和古巴比倫傘是用來(lái)遮陽(yáng)的 。關(guān)于這一用途有一點(diǎn)很奇怪:傘成了尊嚴(yán)與權(quán)力的象征 。在古代的遠(yuǎn)東地區(qū),只有皇室和高官才能使用傘 。
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against Romans.
在歐洲,希臘人是首先把傘用于遮陽(yáng)的人。 傘的使用在古希臘很普遍.但是據(jù)信在歐洲首先使用傘的人是為了防范羅馬人 。
During the middle ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was duanwenw considered a symbol of power and authority. Byl680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later in England.
中世紀(jì)的時(shí)候傘幾乎消失, 16世紀(jì)后期又在意大利出現(xiàn),并再一 次成為權(quán)力和威嚴(yán)的象征。 到1680年,傘開始在法國(guó)出現(xiàn),之后又出現(xiàn)在英國(guó) 。
By the eighteen century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to he made, in a whole.
到18世紀(jì),傘在整個(gè)歐洲幾乎都用來(lái)遮雨了 。 在這期間,傘的樣式一直沒有發(fā)生太大變化,只是重量上輕了許多 。 直到20世紀(jì)才出現(xiàn)了各種顏色的女士用傘。
Nick, a 25-year-old Australian, was born without limbs. He used to be made fun of for looking like a monster. Everything seemed impossible to him. However, Nick never gave up. With great efforts, he finally learned to swim, fish and even surf. What surprised me is that he completed a university education and got two degrees. And now he is the CEO of two companies. Nick believes: Attitude is altitude. In his eyes, nothing is impossible. He thinks a positive attitude is the key to success.
After reading Nick’s story, I have been feeling inspired by his spirit. Compared with him, we are healthy enough to enjoy life. Somehow, we are always frustrated facing difficulties. I think Nick has set a good example to us. Try to appreciate what we do have and be more persevering and we will achieve success in the end.
Surrounding you are angels, they are there to guide your path. If weakness overcomes you, they’ll give you strength if you will ask. They are your protection when life seems too hard to bear, and though you feel alone at times, the angels, they are there…
Their faces may be hidden, and their voices you might not hear, but they are always with you through your laughter or your tears.
They’ll walk along beside you, they’ll guide your steps along the way, they’ll comfort you and hold you, protect you night and day. They’ll hold to your hand tightly, and will not ever let it go, and they’ll gently lead you forward, taking each step very slow.
When life is overwhelming, and your spirit has grown tired, know that they’ll be there for you to uplift and to inspire. And when you’re torn and lonely, and you see no hope ahead, know that they will nourish you, and your spirit will be fed.
For even in the darkest hour, when all of hope seems gone, they’ll give you strength to live your life, and desire to go on. And if your faith in Heaven should ever fade away, they’ll help renew your spirit, and help you find your way.
Angles are always there; and upon their strength and guidance, you always may rely.

Success for me
Hello, everyone! Good afternoon! I am very glad to have the chance to make this speech. My topic is: how to achieve success. First of all, let us see a story.
“Long long ago, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the men who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king gave them three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, there came up a handsome young prince in the king's palace." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, Prince successfully passed all the challenge and got the heart of the princess in time. And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily ever after."
Why aren't we tired of this story so beautiful, so uealistic (, I would say, so unimaginative ? How can a story like that can enduregenerations of repetition? The reason, I think, is that a typical success story like this is so close to our daily life. Moreover we can understand so deeply, it is not just a story, but a good will from people’s inner heart. By implication, we see a 4-step definitions of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess. So you’d better find your princess as soon as possible; 2 ) challenges to be meet, as represented by the three tasks. Only if you directly meet the challenge, can you besuccessful; 3 ) the process of overcoming difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage. That’s all! Find your princess, meet challenges, overcome difficulties, and have a good life.
Thank you!
