高中英语短篇演讲稿
同学们:
the students:
没有了对手和较量,没有了危机和竞争,任何事物都会因松懈而倦怠,从而走向颓废甚至灭亡。关于这个警句的故事很耐人寻味:一个参加过二战的英国老兵去日本旅游,看到3个日本孩子在玩一种叫“生存”的游戏,一张一张卡片上分别有虎、狼、狗、羊、鸡、猎人等图案,三个孩子各执一副。游戏规则是:虎能通吃,但两个猎人可以打死一只虎;一个猎人可以打死一只狼,但两只狼可以吃掉一个猎人;虎和狼都被消灭后,一只羊能吃掉一只狗。他大惑不解,怎么会有这样的逻辑?日本孩子的回答是:“虎和狼都没了,狗就会处在放松状态,这时,不但羊能吃掉它,两只鸡也能将它消灭。没有了对手和较量,没有了危机和竞争,任何事物都会因松懈而倦怠,从而走向颓废甚至灭亡——我们的教科书上就是这么写的!”
no opponent and fight, not a crisis and competition, everything will loose burnout, thereby to decadence and even death. this story is about a afford much food for thought: a world war ii veteran british travel to japan, saw 3 japanese children playing a game called" survival", a piece of card respectively, tiger, wolf, dog, sheep, chicken, hunter and other patterns, three children each hold one vice. the rules of the game are: tiger can sweep the deck, but the two hunters killed a tiger; a hunter can kill a wolf, but two wolf can eat a hunter; tigers and wolves have been eliminated, a sheep can eat a dog. he be not a little bewildered, how can there be such a logic? japanese children 's answer is:" tiger and wolf are gone, the dog will be in a relaxed state, then, not only sheep can eat it, two chickens can also destroy it. no opponent and fight, not a crisis and competition, everything will loose burnout, thereby to decadence and even death in our textbook -- it's written on!"
同学们,多么发人深思、催人警醒啊!正是有了危机和竞争意识,日本,这个资源极度贫乏、人口众多的岛国,才会在二战的废墟上迅速崛起,一跃成为世界经济强国!
the students, what provide much material for thought, urge a person vigilant! it is a crisis and sense of competition, the japanese, the exceeding and poor natural resources, a large population of the island, only the ruins of the rapid rise in world war ii, become world economy powerful nation!
竞争,是一种精神。每当我们看到体育场上运动健将们奋力拼搏的时候,我们无不为之感动,为之振臂高呼。使我们为之感动,为之高呼的是运动员勇往直前、不甘落后的精神,如果没有这种精神,体育将失去其真正的意义。同样,如果没有这种精神,将变得毫无生气。有了竞争意识,人才会有顽强的生命力。龟兔第一次赛跑,由于兔子骄傲自满而惨遭失败,而在第二次赛跑时它能急起直追,终于反败为胜。因此,可以这么说,兔子的失败,是因为没有竞争;兔子反败为胜,是因为有了竞争。
