Recently, all of us are talking about how to be civilized students in our .school.In my opinion, we should be polite to our parents and help them do more housework at home. At school, we should respect our teachers, get on well with our classmates and study hard. We should also obey traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we should stop. When we wait for a bus, we should wait in line. Don't throw litter or spit in public. And we'd better not talk or laugh loudly. We should never say dirty words. Be friendly to others and always ready to help the people in need.If everyone behaves well, our city will be more beautiful and more attractive.Let's join together to be civilized students!ted英语演讲稿篇2It is true that most of us value honesty highly. However, nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities and so on. I think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society. The reasons can be listed as follows.Firstly, only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time.Secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people, can make our life easier and more harmonious. Thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. A case in point is that Singapore, a society featuring trustworthiness andintegrity, has a comparatively low criminal rate.Responsbility can be understood in many ways. for the parents , they have had the responsibility for caring for and fostering their children since the birth of their baby.for teachers,both in kindergartens and colleges,they also should be responsible for the study and life of their students,that is to say,teahers are the second parents of children somewhile.for us,as a friend of others,it is our responsibility to help our friends when they are in trouble or faced with difficulties. each one has the different responsibily based on their roles but we must take it for granted that we are responsible for the society. ted英语演讲稿篇3On the night of the elixir of love, in celebrate this holiday season, we came the 58th birthday of the motherland.At the same time, our students also welcomed a national holiday.The first day of the holiday, I finish the teacher assigned the homework first, and ready to go to sleep, thinking: this National Day seems so meaningless.How to have a meaningful National Day?

I came to the children's playground in the fort worth, in both the slide, and ride the toy car, it's fun.In eleven long holiday, every day is filled with laughter, live very substantial.In this National Day long vacation, I have already tasted the delicious food, play fun toys, both learning, finished holiday teacher assigned homework, do the best of both worlds, is a joy! ted英语演讲稿篇4Today is World Book Day, let us work together to remember the reader's festival. April 23 is the mean day of world literature, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Vega and many other world-famous writers born or died that day. In 1995, UNESCO this day each year as "World Book Day" to encourage people to discover the pleasure of reading.In recent years, the "World Book Day" has become a holiday country many readers. Bacon said: "Reading is to create a complete personality." For this reason, all countries regardless of level or civilian, regarded as a part of school life, and is a very important part. Even in highly developed network of the United States, the number of public library cardholders still as high as 148 million, that is one person every two Americans to hold reader card; According to statistics, the American people to the number of public libraries who are watching football, basketball, baseball, hockey combined total of more than five times the number of people.Human world famous love of reading in the Moscow subway, readily visible intellectuals who look carefully read intently. Moreover, these holding readers are reading voluminous care Weng Weng Tuo Soviet masters classics. The Japanese love ofreading is universally acknowledged, tram in Japan, on the bus, whether it is well-dressed office workers or students wearing uniforms, not much difference in concentration reading.Jews love reading. In every Jewish home, when the kids a little naive, and the mother will open the "Bible", drop a little honey on top, then called the children honey to kiss the "Bible" on. This ceremony is not evident intent: the book is sweet. Jewish cemetery often placed books, as "in the dead of night, the dead will come out of reading." Of course, this type of approach has some sense of meaning, that there is the end of life, knowledge was endless. There is also a Jewish family tradition from generation to generation, and that is to put bedside bookcase, if placed end of the bed, it will is considered disrespectful to the book.Our world-famous cultural thing big country, the importance of education and reading ages. There are a lot of hard studying ancient touching story, such as "cutting the wall to steal light" Kuangheng, "capsule firefly Yingxue" car Yin, cantilever Cigu the Sun Jing and Su, Ouyang Xiu, "the three" reading, studying hard Zhongyan stories, etc., for their book was born, and died for the book, for books and music, for the book and bitter, for the book and the poor, for the book and thin, how many thousands of years to the interpretation of the epic, awe-inspiring story .Another World Book Day has arrived, Book Day is to guide people to consciously name suggests reading, and develop reading habits.

Well I had a unique seat that day. I was sitting in 1D. I was the only one who can talk to the flight attendants. So I looked at them right away, and they said, "No problem. We probably hit some birds." The pilot had already turned the plane around, and we werent that far. You could see Manhattan.那天我的位置很特別，我坐在1D，我是唯一可以和空服员说话的人，于是我立刻看着他们，他们说，“没问题，我们可能撞上鸟了。

And why do some leave the world without anything valuable to his generation and the people? Every one of us will hope to have a significant and valuable life. But what kind of life is both significant and valuable? Answers to the questions ar e …… "If you cherish your value of your own life, you will create something valuable for the world." Johann Goth said. "The life value should be judged from his contribution rather than his profession." Einstein said. Lei Feng, a communist soldier, said, "one lives to make others a more beautiful life."As we all know, Marx is an outstanding and great man. He founded his brilliant and scientific theory of communism. The theory guides the ways for the human being's liberation. Marx said, "If we can elect one suitable profession, we won't be demoralized with its pressure, because we make sacrifice for human beings. Only by this way will we not be addicted to the joy of narrow-minded and individualism. Our happiness belongs to thousands upon thousands of people. I see, although it may be unknown, our cause will never be forgot forever. Even when we depart to God, the kind people will tear down upon our ashes." When he said these words, he was only 17 years old. He meant his word with his deeds in his late lifetime period. After his death, on his 100-birthday anniversary, the proletarian and the revolutionary people of the whole world still cherish the memoryof Marx and mourn him respectively.It is his distinguishingable contribution to the mankind that his life is that significant. It is his great devotion to the human being that his life value is beyond measure. We also know that Lu Xun is a man of great. Without his nobility "Fierce-browed, I wooly defy a thousand point fingers, head bowed like a willing ox I serve the children", and without his spirit of his loyalty and devotion to the last for the bright future of the Chinese people, his life would not have been so significant and so great. Actually, didn't those regarded as essence of human who live forever in the hearts of people make great contributions to the cause of the people? Wouldn't the people remember those whose great achievements for human are recorded in history? We know for certain that not every of us will be a second Marx or Lu Xun. However, a person of noble aspirations will do solid work. Strugglecontinuously and effortless. He will try to make his greatest contribution in his shortest time. He will try what he can to bring benefit to the people in his lifetime. We'd say it is impossible for one to live alone if he isolates society and people. If he hopes to make a benefit life, he will bring benefit and make contribution to people. As a socialist youth, he will devote his life to the cause of communism in order to make a benefit life. Moreover, we say that a value of life will be only in direct proportion to achievement and contribution he makes to our society. In our real life, we can see many revolutionary martyrs die young for the people. Don't you think they cherish the life? Yes. They do. They are sentimentally attached to life; they are full of hope and desire. But they confront the death bravely and resolutely in order to make many more people live. Their brilliant status will be livingin the hearts of people. They die glorious and great.The life of those who die busy about his lifetime without any achievements can not be compared with their life. In our real life, we have many cases like those. Life is endless and tackling key problems will be continuous. Let's take these as examples. Mr. Jing Zhuying worked for the Chinese science causes to the last of his life. Mr. Zhang Hua sacrificed his own young life for the sake of others, which set a good example of the communist. Mr. An Ke died for fulfillment for the duty as a citizen. Ms Zhang Haiti, compared to be Paul of our time, worked very hard and faced frustrations of her life, though she was disabled. She still continues to live on bravely.All these are the strong of their life. Their value of life is precious. My fellow students, don't you say what a beautiful life they have? Beethoven once said; "I must learn to control my life which will never make me give myself up. Oh, If only I can live more than thousands times!" Paul Cocking also had a golden saying, "Life is but one." I think every youth of us keep this in our minds. let's turn it into reality with our deeds.Let's not be a man full of promises but without any deeds, like Lusting, one of the characters by Dougeshefol. My fellow students, let's not wander. Let's not hesitate. Only lament and vexation does not mean consideration and exploration. Only lament and vexation does not mean advancing and does not mean mature at all. Let's not kill our lifetime by playing cards. Let's not waste our youth by drinking. Let's not destroy our will without any achievements. Let's make great contribution to human. And only by these can we create benefit life. Every one will have to die and every body will be rotten. But every one may make achievements and contributions. We hate being rotten.Let's brighten up! Up! And up!第四篇：青春励志英语演讲稿带中文翻译We Are The World ,We Are The FutureSomeone 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. T o 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 l ike 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. W here 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 happe ned. 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’tmean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure d oesn’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."世界是我们的，未来是我们的一些人说"我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。
TED英文演讲稿范本 ted演讲稿精彩6篇
TED英文演讲稿范本ted演讲稿精彩6篇TED英语演讲稿篇一What I'd like to do today is talk about one of my favorite subjects, and that is the neuroscience of sleep.Now, there is a sound -- (Alarm clock) -- aah, it worked -- a sound that is desperately, desperately familiar to most of us, and of course it's the sound of the alarm clock. And what that truly ghastly, awful sound does is stop the single most importantbehavioral experience that we have, and that's sleep. If you're an average sort of person, 36 percent of your life will be spent asleep, which means that if you live to 90, then 32 years will have beenspent entirely asleep.Now what that 32 years is telling us is that sleep at some levelis important. And yet, for most of us, we don't give sleep a second thought. We throw it away. We really just don't think about sleep. And so what I'd like to do today is change your views, change your ideas and your thoughts about sleep. And the journey that I want to take you on, we need to start by going back in time."Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber." Any ideas who said that? Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Yes, let me give you a few more quotes. "O sleep, O gentle sleep, nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee?" Shakespeare again, from -- I won't say it -- the Scottish play. [Correction: Henry IV, Part 2] (Laughter) From the same time: "Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together." Extremely prophetic, by Thomas Dekker, another Elizabethan dramatist. But if we jump forward 400 years, the tone about sleep changes somewhat. This is from Thomas Edison, from the beginning of the 20th century. "Sleep is a criminal waste of time and a heritage from ourcave days." Bang. (Laughter) And if we also jump into the 1980s, some of you may remember that Margaret Thatcher was reported to have said, "Sleep is for wimps." And of course the infamous -- what was his name? -- the infamous Gordon Gekko from "Wall Street" said, "Money never sleeps."What do we do in the 20th century about sleep? Well, of course, we use Thomas Edison's light bulb to invade the night, and we occupied the dark, and in the process of this occupation, we've treated sleep as an illness, almost. We've treated it as an enemy. At most now, I suppose, we tolerate the need for sleep, and at worst perhaps many of us think of sleep as an illness that needs some sort of a cure. And our ignorance about sleep is really quite profound. Why is it? Why do we abandon sleep in our thoughts? Well, it's because you don't do anything much while you're asleep, it seems. You don't eat. You don't drink. And you don't have sex. Well, most of us anyway. And so therefore it's -- Sorry. It's a complete waste of time, right? Wrong. Actually, sleep is an incredibly important part of our biology, and neuroscientists are beginning to explain why it's so very important. So let's move to the brain.Now, here we have a brain. This is donated by a social scientist, and they said they didn't know what it was, or indeed how to use it, so -- (Laughter) Sorry. So I borrowed it. I don't think they noticed. Okay. (Laughter)The point I'm trying to make is that when you're asleep, this thing doesn't shut down. In fact, some areas of the brain areactually more active during the sleep state than during the wake state. The other thing that's really important about sleep is that it doesn't arise from a single structure within the brain, but is tosome extent a network property, and if we flip the brain on its back -- I love this little bit of spinal cord here -- this bit here is the hypothalamus, and right under there is a whole raft of interesting structures, not least the biological clock. The biological clocktells us when it's good to be up, when it's good to be asleep, and what that structure does is interact with a whole raft of other areas within the hypothalamus, the lateral hypothalamus, the ventrolateral preoptic nuclei. All of those combine, and they send projections down to the brain stem here. The brain stem then projects forward and bathes the cortex, this wonderfully wrinkly bit over here, with neurotransmitters that keep us awake and essentially provide us with our consciousness. So sleep arises from a whole raft of different interactions within the brain, and essentially, sleep is turned on and off as a result of a range ofOkay. So where have we got to? We've said that sleep is complicated and it takes 32 years of our life. But what I haven't explained is what sleep is about. So why do we sleep? And it won't surprise any of you that, of course, the scientists, we don't have a consensus. There are dozens of different ideas about why we sleep, and I'm going to outline three of those.The first is sort of the restoration idea, and it's somewhat intuitive. Essentially, all the stuff we've burned up during the day, we restore, we replace, we rebuild during the night. And indeed, as an explanation, it goes back to Aristotle, so that's, what, 2,300 years ago. It's gone in and out of fashion. It's fashionable at the moment because what's been shown is that within the brain, a whole raft of genes have been shown to be turned on only during sleep, and those genes are associated with restoration and metabolic pathways.So there's good evidence for the whole restoration hypothesis.What about energy conservation? Again, perhaps intuitive. You essentially sleep to save calories. Now, when you do the sums, though, it doesn't really pan out. If you compare an individual who has slept at night, or stayed awake and hasn't moved very much, the energy saving of sleeping is about 110 calories a night. Now, that's the equivalent of a hot dog bun. Now, I would say that a hot dog bun is kind of a meager return for such a complicated and demanding behavior as sleep. So I'm less convinced by the energy conservation idea.But the third idea I'm quite attracted to, which is brain processing and memory consolidation. What we know is that, if after you've tried to learn a task, and you sleep-deprive individuals, the ability to learn that task is smashed. It's really hugely attenuated. So sleep and memory consolidation is also very important. However,it's not just the laying down of memory and recalling it. What's turned out to be really exciting is that our ability to come up with novel solutions to complex problems is hugely enhanced by a night of sleep. In fact, it's been estimated to give us a threefold advantage. Sleeping at night enhances our creativity. And what seems to be going on is that, in the brain, those neural connections that are important, those synaptic connections that are important, are linked and strengthened, while those that are less important tend to fade away and be less important.Okay. So we've had three explanations for why we might sleep, and I think the important thing to realize is that the details will vary, and it's probable we sleep for multiple different reasons. But sleep is not an indulgence. It's not some sort of thing that we can take onboard rather casually. I think that sleep was once likened to an upgrade from economy to business class, you know, the equiavlent of. It's not even an upgrade from economy to first class. The critical thing to realize is that if you don't sleep, you don't fly. Essentially, you never get there, and what's extraordinary about much of our society these days is that we are desperately sleep-deprived. So let's now look at sleep deprivation. Huge sectors of society are sleep-deprived, and let's look at our sleep-o-meter. So in the 1950s, good data suggests that most of us were getting around about eight hours of sleep a night. Nowadays, we sleep one and a half to two hours less every night, so we're in the six-and-a-half-hours-every-night league. For teenagers, it's worse, much worse. They need nine hours for full brain performance, and many of them, on a school night, are only getting five hours of sleep. It's simply not enough. If we think about other sectors of society, the aged, if you are aged, then your ability to sleep in a single block is somewhat disrupted, and many sleep, again, less than five hours a night. Shift work. Shift work is extraordinary, perhaps 20 percent of the working population, and the body clock does not shift to the demands of working at night. It's locked onto the same light-dark cycle as the rest of us. So when the poor old shift worker is going home to try and sleep during the day, desperately tired, the body clock is saying, "Wake up. This is the time to be awake." So the quality of sleep that you get as a night shift worker is usually very poor, again in that sort of five-hour region. And then, of course, tens of millions of people suffer from jet lag. So who here has jet lag? Well, my goodness gracious. Well, thank you very much indeed for not falling asleep, because that's what your brain is craving.One of the things that the brain does is indulge in micro-sleeps, this involuntary falling asleep, and you have essentially no control over it. Now, micro-sleeps can be sort of somewhat embarrassing, but they can also be deadly. It's been estimated that 31 percent of drivers will fall asleep at the wheel at least once in their life, and in the U.S., the statistics are pretty good: 100,000 accidents on the freeway have been associated with tiredness, loss of vigilance, and falling asleep. A hundred thousand a year. It's extraordinary. At another level of terror, we dip into the tragic accidents at Chernobyl and indeed the space shuttle Challenger, which was so tragically lost. And in the investigations that followed those disasters, poor judgment as a result of extended shift work and loss of vigilance and tiredness was attributed to a big chunk of those disasters.So when you're tired, and you lack sleep, you have poor memory, you have poor creativity, you have increased impulsiveness, and you have overall poor judgment. But my friends, it's so much worse than that.(Laughter)If you are a tired brain, the brain is craving things to wake it up. So drugs, stimulants. Caffeine represents the stimulant of choice across much of the Western world. Much of the day is fueled by caffeine, and if you're a really naughty tired brain, nicotine. And of course, you're fueling the waking state with these stimulants, and then of course it gets to 11 o'clock at night, and the brain says to itself, "Ah, well actually, I need to be asleep fairly shortly. What do we do about that when I'm feeling completely wired?" Well, of course, you then resort to alcohol. Now alcohol, short-term, youknow, once or twice, to use to mildly sedate you, can be very useful. It can actually ease the sleep transition. But what you must be so aware of is that alcohol doesn't provide sleep, a biological mimicfor sleep. It sedates you. So it actually harms some of the neural proccessing that's going on during memory consolidation and memory recall. So it's a short-term acute measure, but for goodness sake, don't become addicted to alcohol as a way of getting to sleep every night.Another connection between loss of sleep is weight gain. If you sleep around about five hours or less every night, then you have a 50 percent likelihood of being obese. What's the connection here? Well, sleep loss seems to give rise to the release of the hormone ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Ghrelin is released. It gets to the brain. The brain says, "I need carbohydrates," and what it does is seek out carbohydrates and particularly sugars. So there's a link between tiredness and the metabolic predisposition for weight gain.Stress. Tired people are massively stressed. And one of the things of stress, of course, is loss of memory, which is what I sort of just then had a little lapse of. But stress is so much more. So if you're acutely stressed, not a great problem, but it's sustained stress associated with sleep loss that's the problem. So sustained stress leads to suppressed immunity, and so tired people tend to have higher rates of overall infection, and there's some very good studies showing that shift workers, for example, have higher rates of cancer. Increased levels of stress throw glucose into the circulation. Glucose becomes a dominant part of the vasculature and essentially you become glucose intolerant. Therefore, diabetes 2. Stress increases cardiovascular disease as a result of raising bloodpressure. So there's a whole raft of things associated with sleep loss that are more than just a mildly impaired brain, which is where I think most people think that sleep loss resides.So at this point in the talk, this is a nice time to think, well, do you think on the whole I'm getting enough sleep? So a quick show of hands. Who feels that they're getting enough sleep here? Oh. Well, that's pretty impressive. Good. We'll talk more about that later, about what are your tips.So most of us, of course, ask the question, "Well, how do I know whether I'm getting enough sleep?" Well, it's not rocket science. If you need an alarm clock to get you out of bed in the morning, if you are taking a long time to get up, if you need lots of stimulants, if you're grumpy, if you're irritable, if you're told by your work colleagues that you're looking tired and irritable, chances are you are sleep-deprived. Listen to them. Listen to yourself.What do you do? Well -- and this is slightly offensive -- sleep for dummies: Make your bedroom a haven for sleep. The first critical thing is make it as dark as you possibly can, and also make itslightly cool. Very important. Actually, reduce your amount of light exposure at least half an hour before you go to bed. Light increases levels of alertness and will delay sleep. What's the last thing that most of us do before we go to bed? We stand in a massively lit bathroom looking into the mirror cleaning our teeth. It's the worst thing we can possibly do before we went to sleep. Turn off those mobile phones. Turn off those computers. Turn off all of those things that are also going to excite the brain. Try not to drink caffeine too late in the day, ideally not after lunch. Now, we've set about reducing light exposure before you go to bed, but light exposure inthe morning is very good at setting the biological clock to thelight-dark cycle. So seek out morning light. Basically, listen to yourself. Wind down. Do those sorts of things that you know are going to ease you off into the honey-heavy dew of slumber.Okay. That's some facts. What about some myths?Teenagers are lazy. No. Poor things. They have a biological predisposition to go to bed late and get up late, so give them a break.We need eight hours of sleep a night. That's an average. Some people need more. Some people need less. And what you need to do is listen to your body. Do you need that much or do you need more? Simple as that.Old people need less sleep. Not true. The sleep demands of the aged do not go down. Essentially, sleep fragments and becomes less robust, but sleep requirements do not go down.And the fourth myth is, early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Well that's wrong at so many different levels. (Laughter) There is no, no evidence that getting up early and going to bed early gives you more wealth at all. There's nodifference in socioeconomic status. In my experience, the only difference between morning people and evening people is that those people that get up in the morning early are just horribly smug.(Laughter) (Applause)Okay. So for the last part, the last few minutes, what I want to do is change gears and talk about some really new, breaking areas of neuroscience, which is the association between mental health, mental illness and sleep disruption. We've known for 130 years that in severe mental illness, there is always, always sleep disruption, butit's been largely ignored. In the 1970s, when people started to think about this again, they said, "Yes, well, of course you have sleep disruption in schizophrenia because they're on anti-psychotics. It's the anti-psychotics causing the sleep problems," ignoring the fact that for a hundred years previously, sleep disruption had been reported before anti-psychotics.So what's going on? Lots of groups, several groups are studying conditions like depression, schizophrenia and bipolar, and what's going on in terms of sleep disruption. We have a big study which we published last year on schizophrenia, and the data were quite extraordinary. In those individuals with schizophrenia, much of the time, they were awake during the night phase and then they were asleep during the day. Other groups showed no 24-hour patterns whatsoever. Their sleep was absolutely smashed. And some had noability to regulate their sleep by the light-dark cycle. They were getting up later and later and later and later each night. It was smashed.So what's going on? And the really exciting news is that mental illness and sleep are not simply associated but they are physically linked within the brain. The neural networks that predispose you to normal sleep, give you normal sleep, and those that give you normal mental health are overlapping. And what's the evidence for that? Well, genes that have been shown to be very important in the generation of normal sleep, when mutated, when changed, also predispose individuals to mental health problems. And last year, we published a study which showed that a gene that's been linked to schizophrenia, which, when mutated, also smashes the sleep. So we have evidence of a genuine mechanistic overlap between these twoimportant systems.Other work flowed from these studies. The first was that sleep disruption actually precedes certain types of mental illness, andwe've shown that in those young individuals who are at high risk of developing bipolar disorder, they already have a sleep abnormality prior to any clinical diagnosis of bipolar. The other bit of data was that sleep disruption may actually exacerbate, make worse the mental illness state. My colleague Dan Freeman has used a range of agents which have stabilized sleep and reduced levels of paranoia in those individuals by 50 percent.So what have we got? We've got, in these connections, some really exciting things. In terms of the neuroscience, by understanding the neuroscience of these two systems, we're really beginning to understand how both sleep and mental illness are generated and regulated within the brain. The second area is that if we can use sleep and sleep disruption as an early warning signal, then we have the chance of going in. If we know that these individuals are vulnerable, early intervention then becomes possible. And the third, which I think is the most exciting, is that we can think of the sleep centers within the brain as a new therapeutic target. Stabilize sleep in those individuals who are vulnerable, we can certainly make them healthier, but also alleviate some of the appalling symptoms of mental illness.So let me just finish. What I started by saying is take sleep seriously. Our attitudes toward sleep are so very different from a pre-industrial age, when we were almost wrapped in a duvet. We used to understand intuitively the importance of sleep. And this isn't some sort of crystal-waving nonsense. This is a pragmatic response togood health. If you have good sleep, it increases your concentration, attention, decision-making, creativity, social skills, health. If you get sleep, it reduces your mood changes, your stress, your levels of anger, your impulsivity, and your tendency to drink and take drugs. And we finished by saying that an understanding of the neuroscience of sleep is really informing the way we think about some of the causes of mental illness, and indeed is providing us new ways totreat these incredibly debilitating conditions.Jim Butcher, the fantasy writer, said, "Sleep is God. Go worship." And I can only recommend that you do the same.Thank you for your attention.TED英语演讲稿带翻译篇二People returning to work after a career break: I call them relaunchers. These are people who have taken career breaks for elder care, for childcare reasons, pursuing a personal interest or a personal health issue. Closely related are career transitioners ofall kinds: veterans, military spouses, retirees coming out of retirement or repatriating expats. Returning to work after a career break is hard because of a disconnect between the employers and the relaunchers. Employers can view hiring people with a gap on their resume as a high-risk proposition, and individuals on career break can have doubts about their abilities to relaunch their careers, especially if theyve been out for a long time. This disconnect is a problem that Im trying to help solve.有些人经过离职长假之后重新投入到工作中来，我称他们为“再从业者”。

第一篇：ted英语演讲稿Let me start by thanking...I'm very pleased to be here.I'm very happy to have this opportunity to...I feel great honored to be here.It's a pleasure for me to share my experience with you all.We have the great pleasure to have Mr.President with us.We are honored today to be joined by our distinguished guest,...Today I'd like to say something about...Well, the topic I'm going to deal with is...I'm sure everybody is interested in... so I will share with you some...第二篇：ted英语演讲稿Good evening ,Ladies and Gentlemen:Thank you very much for choosing to come in such a cold night.Today my topic is about choice and process.A research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.With so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. In my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. There is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference.Life is a box of chocolate,you never know what you will get. Forrest Gump made no decision by and for himself but heaccomplished great success with his strong will in the process. The process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ,the caution, courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. Take myself as an example, I changed my major when I became a postgraduate. After the choice,days have been harsh for me.I cannot understand the new lessons at all. For they are closely related to mathmatics which I learned nothing about before. However wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself,I persisted. I asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life. Gradually I could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.Moreover, I learned to act instead of complaining. In retrospect,the choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months becomes an unforgetable experience in my life.第三篇：ted英语演讲稿Most people would like to be popular with others， but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity？In fact，it is very simple. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well. When we are healthy and well-groomed，we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition， we should smile and appear friendly. After all， our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this， people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It＇s also important to be good listeners；inthis way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However， no matter what we do， we must not gossip. Above all， we must remember to be ourselves， not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above， I am sure popularity will come our way.如何才能受人欢迎大部分的人都想受人欢迎，但是并非每个人都能达到目标。

ted英语演讲稿范文4篇简介：受教育的机会并非人人都有，而在学校的孩子们是否都能学有所成?英校教育咨询师sir ken robinson 幽默演讲，如何逃出教育的“死亡谷“? 告诉我们如何以开放的文化氛围培育年轻的一代。
thank you very much.i moved to america 12 years ago with my wife terry and our two kids. actually, truthfully, we moved to los angeles -- (laughter) -- thinking we were moving to america, but anyway, it's a short plane ride from los angeles to america.i got here 12 years ago, and when i got here, i was told various things, like, "americans don't get irony." have you come across this idea? it's not true. i've traveled the whole length and breadth of this country. i have found no evidence that americans don't get irony. it's one of those cultural myths, like, "the british are reserved." i don't know why people think this. we've invaded every country we've encountered. (laughter) but it's not true americans don't get irony, but i just want you to know that that's what people are saying about you behind your back. you know, so when you leave living rooms in europe, people say, thankfully, nobody was ironic in your presence.but i knew that americans get irony when i came across that legislation no child left behind. because whoever thought of that title gets irony, don't they, because -- (laughter) (applause) —because it's leaving millions of children behind. now i can see that's not a very attractive name for legislation: millions of children left behind. i can see that. what's the plan? well, we propose to leave millions of children behind, and here's how it's going to work.and it's working beautifully. in some parts of the country, 60percent of kids drop out of high school. in the native american communities, it's 80 percent of kids. if we halved that number, one estimate is it would create a net gain to the u.s. economy over 10 years of nearly a trillion dollars. from an economic point of view, this is good math, isn't it, that we should do this? it actually costs an enormous amount to mop up the damage from the dropout crisis.but the dropout crisis is just the tip of an iceberg. what it doesn't count are all the kids who are in school but being disengaged from it, who don't enjoy it, who don't get any real benefit from it.and the reason is not that we're not spending enough money. america spends more money on education than most other countries. class sizes are smaller than in many countries. and there are hundreds of initiatives every year to try and improve education. the trouble is, it's all going in the wrong direction. there are three principles on which human life flourishes, and they are contradicted by the culture of education under which most teachers have to labor and most students have to endure.the first is this, that human beings are naturally different and diverse.can i ask you, how many of you have got children of your own? okay. or grandchildren. how about two children or more? right. and the rest of you have seen such children. (laughter) small people wandering about. i will make you a bet, and i am confident that i will win the bet. if you've got two children or more, i bet you they are completely different from each other. aren't they? aren't they? (applause) you would never confuse them, would you? like, "which one are you? remind me. your mother and i are going to introduce some color-coding system,so we don't get confused."education under no child left behind is based on not diversity but conformity. what schools are encouraged to do is to find out what kids can do across a very narrow spectrum of achievement. one of the effects of no child left behind has been to narrow the focus onto the so-called stem disciplines. they're very important. i'm not here to argue against science and math. on the contrary, they're necessary but they're not sufficient. a real education has to give equal weight to the arts, the humanities, to physical education. an awful lot of kids, sorry, thank you — (applause) —one estimate in america currently is that something like 10 percent of kids, getting on that way, are being diagnosed with various conditions under the broad title of attention deficit disorder. adhd. i'm not saying there's no such thing. i just don't believe it's an epidemic like this. if you sit kids down, hour after hour, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget, you know? (laughter) (applause) children are not, for the most part, suffering from a psychological condition. they're suffering from childhood. (laughter) and i know this because i spent my early life as a child. i went through the whole thing. kids prosper best with a broad curriculum that celebrates their various talents, not just a small range of them. and by the way, the arts aren't just important because they improve math scores. they're important because they speak to parts of children's being which are otherwise untouched.the second, thank you — (applause)the second principle that drives human life flourishing is curiosity. if you can light the spark of curiosity in a child, they will learn without any further assistance, very often. children are natural learners. it's a real achievement to put that particularability out, or to stifle it. curiosity is the engine of achievement. now the reason i say this is because one of the effects of the current culture here, if i can say so, has been to de-professionalize teachers. there is no system in the world or any school in the country that is better than its teachers. teachers are the lifeblood of the success of schools. but teaching is a creative profession. teaching, properly conceived, is not a delivery system. you know, you're not there just to pass on received information. great teachers do that, but what great teachers also do is mentor, stimulate, provoke, engage. you see, in the end, education is about learning. if there's no learning going on, there's no education going on. and people can spend an awful lot of time discussing education without ever discussing learning. the whole point of education is to get people to learn.a friend of mine, an old friend -- actually very old, he's dead. (laughter) that's as old as it gets, i'm afraid. but a wonderful guy he was, wonderful philosopher. he used to talk about the difference between the task and achievement senses of verbs. you know, you can be engaged in the activity of something, but not really be achieving it, like dieting. it's a very good example, you know. there he is. he's dieting. is he losing any weight? not really. teaching is a word like that. you can say, "there's deborah, she's in room 34, she's teaching." but if nobody's learning anything, she may be engaged in the task of teaching but not actually fulfilling it.the role of a teacher is to facilitate learning. that's it. and part of the problem is, i think, that the dominant culture of education has come to focus on not teaching and learning, but testing. now, testing is important. standardized tests have a place. but they should not be the dominant culture of education. they should bediagnostic. they should help. (applause) if i go for a medical examination, i want some standardized tests. i do. you know, i want to know what my cholesterol level is compared to everybody else's on a standard scale. i don't want to be told on some scale my doctor invented in the car."your cholesterol is what i call level orange.""really? is that good?""we don't know."but all that should support learning. it shouldn't obstruct it, which of course it often does. so in place of curiosity, what we have is a culture of compliance. our children and teachers are encouraged to follow routine algorithms rather than to excite that power of imagination and curiosity. and the third principle is this: that human life is inherently creative. it's why we all have different résumés. we create our lives, and we can recreate them as we go through them. it's the common currency of being a human being. it's why human culture is so interesting and diverse and dynamic. i mean, other animals may well have imaginations and creativity, but it's not so much in evidence, is it, as ours? i mean, you may have a dog. and your dog may get depressed. you know, but it doesn't listen to radiohead, does it? (laughter) and sit staring out the window with a bottle of jack daniels. (laughter)and you say, "would you like to come for a walk?"he says, "no, i'm fine. you go. i'll wait. but take pictures."we all create our own lives through this restless process of imagining alternatives and possibilities, and what one of the roles of education is to awaken and develop these powers of creativity. instead, what we have is a culture of standardization.now, it doesn't have to be that way. it really doesn't. finland regularly comes out on top in math, science and reading. now,we only know that's what they do well at because that's all that's being tested currently. that's one of the problems of the test. they don't look for other things that matter just as much. the thing about work in finland is this: they don't obsess about those disciplines. they have a very broad approach to education which includes humanities, physical education, the arts.second, there is no standardized testing in finland. i mean, there's a bit, but it's not what gets people up in the morning. it's not what keeps them at their desks.and the third thing, and i was at a meeting recently with some people from finland, actual finnish people, and somebody from the american system was saying to the people in finland, "what do you do about the dropout rate in finland?"and they all looked a bit bemused, and said, "well, we don't have one. why would you drop out? if people are in trouble, we get to them quite quickly and help them and we support them."now people always say, "well, you know, you can't compare finland to america."no. i think there's a population of around five million in finland. but you can compare it to a state in america. many states in america have fewer people in them than that. i mean, i've been to some states in america and i was the only person there. (laughter) really. really. i was asked to lock up when i left. (laughter)but what all the high-performing systems in the world do is currently what is not evident, sadly, across the systems in america -- i mean, as a whole. one is this: they individualize teaching and learning. they recognize that it's students who are learning and the system has to engage them, their curiosity, their individuality, and their creativity. that's how you get them to learn.the second is that they attribute a very high status to the teaching profession. they recognize that you can't improve education if you don't pick great people to teach and if you don't keep giving them constant support and professional development. investing in professional development is not a cost. it's an investment, and every other country that's succeeding well knows that, whether it's australia, canada, south korea, singapore, hong kong or shanghai. they know that to be the case.and the third is, they devolve responsibility to the school level for getting the job done. you see, there's a big difference here between going into a mode of command and control in education -- that's what happens in some systems. you know, central governments decide or state governments decide they know best and they're going to tell you what to do. the trouble is that education doesn't go on in the committee rooms of our legislative buildings. it happens in classrooms and schools, and the people who do it are the teachers and the students, and if you remove their discretion, it stops working. you have to put it back to the people. (applause)there is wonderful work happening in this country. but i have to say it's happening in spite of the dominant culture of education, not because of it. it's like people are sailing into a headwind all the time. and the reason i think is this: that many of the current policies are based on mechanistic conceptions of education. it's like education is an industrial process that can be improved just by having better data, and somewhere in, i think, the back of the mind of some policy makers is this idea that if we fine-tune it well enough, if we just get it right, it will all hum along perfectly into the future. it won't, and it never did.the point is that education is not a mechanical system. it's ahuman system. it's about people, people who either do want to learn or don't want to learn. every student who drops out of school has a reason for it which is rooted in their own biography. they may find it boring. they may find it irrelevant. they may find that it's at odds with the life they're living outside of school. there are trends, but the stories are always unique. i was at a meeting recently in los angeles of -- they're called alternative education programs. these are programs designed to get kids back into education. they have certain common features. they're very personalized. they have strong support for the teachers, close links with the community and a broad and diverse curriculum, and often programs which involve students outside school as well as inside school. and they work. what's interesting to me is, these are called "alternative education." you know? and all the evidence from around the world is, if we all did that, there'd be no need for the alternative. (applause)so i think we have to embrace a different metaphor. we have to recognize that it's a human system, and there are conditions under which people thrive, and conditions under which they don't. we are after all organic creatures, and the culture of the school is absolutely essential. culture is an organic term, isn't it?not far from where i live is a place called death valley. death valley is the hottest, driest place in america, and nothing grows there. nothing grows there because it doesn't rain. hence, death valley. in the winter of XX, it rained in death valley. seven inches of rain fell over a very short period. and in the spring of XX, there was a phenomenon. the whole floor of death valley was carpeted in flowers for a while. what it proved is this: that death valley isn't dead. it's dormant. right beneath the surface are these seeds of possibility waiting for the right conditions to come about, andwith organic systems, if the conditions are right, life is inevitable. it happens all the time. you take an area, a school, a district, you change the conditions, give people a different sense of possibility, a different set of expectations, a broader range of opportunities, you cherish and value the relationships between teachers and learners, you offer people the discretion to be creative and to innovate in what they do, and schools that were once bereft spring to life.great leaders know that. the real role of leadership in education -- and i think it's true at the national level, the state level, at the school level -- is not and should not be command and control. the real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility. and if you do that, people will rise to it and achieve things that you completely did not anticipate and couldn't have expected.there's a wonderful quote from benjamin franklin. "there are three sorts of people in the world: those who are immovable, people who don't get, they don't want to get it, they're going to do anything about it. there are people who are movable, people who see the need for change and are prepared to listen to it. and there are people who move, people who make things happen." and if we can encourage more people, that will be a movement. and if the movement is strong enough, that's, in the best sense of the word, a revolution. and that's what we need.thank you very much. (applause) thank you very much. (applause)when i was in my 20s, i saw my very first psychotherapy client.i was a ph.d. student in clinical psychology at berkeley. she was a 26-year-old woman named alex. now alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top, and she droppedonto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems. now when i heard this, i was so relieved. my classmate got an arsonist for her first client. (laughter) and i got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys. this i thought i could handle.but i didn't handle it. with the funny stories that alex would bring to session, it was easy for me just to nod my head while we kicked the can down the road. "thirty's the new 20," alex would say, and as far as i could tell, she was right. work happened later, marriage happened later, kids happened later, even death happened later. twentysomethings like alex and i had nothing but time.but before long, my supervisor pushed me to push alex about her love life. i pushed back.i said, "sure, she's dating down, she's sleeping with a knucklehead, but it's not like she's going to marry the guy."and then my supervisor said, "not yet, but she might marry the next one. besides, the best time to work on alex's marriage is before she has one."that's what psychologists call an "aha!" moment. that was the moment i realized, 30 is not the new 20. yes, people settle down later than they used to, but that didn't make alex's 20s a developmental downtime. that made alex's 20s a developmental sweet spot, and we were sitting there blowing it. that was when i realized that this sort of benign neglect was a real problem, and it had real consequences, not just for alex and her love life but for the careers and the families and the futures of twentysomethings everywhere.there are 50 million twentysomethings in the united states right now. we're talking about 15 percent of the population, or100 percent if you consider that no one's getting through adulthood without going through their 20s first.raise your hand if you're in your 20s. i really want to see some twentysomethings here. oh, yay! y'all's awesome. if you work with twentysomethings, you love a twentysomething, you're losing sleep over twentysomethings, i want to see — okay. awesome, twentysomethings really matter.so i specialize in twentysomethings because i believe that every single one of those 50 million twentysomethings deserves to know what psychologists, sociologists, neurologists and fertility specialists already know: that claiming your 20s is one of the simplest, yet most transformative, things you can do for work, for love, for your happiness, maybe even for the world.this is not my opinion. these are the facts. we know that 80 percent of life's most defining moments take place by age 35. that means that eight out of 10 of the decisions and experiences and "aha!" moments that make your life what it is will have happened by your mid-30s. people who are over 40, don't panic. this crowd is going to be fine, i think. we know that the first 10 years of a career has an exponential impact on how much money you're going to earn. we know that more than half of americans are married or are living with or dating their future partner by 30. we know that the brain caps off its second and last growth spurt in your 20s as it rewires itself for adulthood, which means that whatever it is you want to change about yourself, now is the time to change it. we know that personality changes more during your 20s than at any other time in life, and we know that female fertility peaks at age 28, and things get tricky after age 35. so your 20s are the time to educate yourself about your body and your options.so when we think about child development, we all know that the first five years are a critical period for language and attachment in the brain. it's a time when your ordinary, day-to-day life has an inordinate impact on who you will become. but what we hear less about is that there's such a thing as adult development, and our 20s are that critical period of adult development.but this isn't what twentysomethings are hearing. newspapers talk about the changing timetable of adulthood. researchers call the 20s an extended adolescence. journalists coin silly nicknames for twentysomethings like "twixters" and "kidults." it's true. as a culture, we have trivialized what is actually the defining decade of adulthood.leonard bernstein said that to achieve great things, you need a plan and not quite enough time. isn't that true? so what do you think happens when you pat a twentysomething on the head and you say, "you have 10 extra years to start your life"? nothing happens. you have robbed that person of his urgency and ambition, and absolutely nothing happens.and then every day, smart, interesting twentysomethings like you or like your sons and daughters come into my office and say things like this: "i know my boyfriend's no good for me, but this relationship doesn't count. i'm just killing time." or they say, "everybody says as long as i get started on a career by the time i'm 30, i'll be fine."but then it starts to sound like this: "my 20s are almost over, and i have nothing to show for myself. i had a better résumé the day after i graduated from college."and then it starts to sound like this: "dating in my 20s was like musical chairs. everybody was running around and havingfun, but then sometime around 30 it was like the music turned off and everybody started sitting down. i didn't want to be the only one left standing up, so sometimes i think i married my husband because he was the closest chair to me at 30."where are the twentysomethings here? do not do that.okay, now that sounds a little flip, but make no mistake, the stakes are very high. when a lot has been pushed to your 30s, there is enormous thirtysomething pressure to jump-start a career, pick a city, partner up, and have two or three kids in a much shorter period of time. many of these things are incompatible, and as research is just starting to show, simply harder and more stressful to do all at once in our 30s.the post-millennial midlife crisis isn't buying a red sports car. it's realizing you can't have that career you now want. it's realizing you can't have that child you now want, or you can't give your child a sibling. too many thirtysomethings and fortysomethings look at themselves, and at me, sitting across the room, and say about their 20s, "what was i doing? what was i thinking?"i want to change what twentysomethings are doing and thinking.here's a story about how that can go. it's a story about a woman named emma. at 25, emma came to my office because she was, in her words, having an identity crisis. she said she thought she might like to work in art or entertainment, but she hadn't decided yet, so she'd spent the last few years waiting tables instead. because it was cheaper, she lived with a boyfriend who displayed his temper more than his ambition. and as hard as her 20s were, her early life had been even harder. she often cried in our sessions, but then would collect herself by saying, "you can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends."well one day, emma comes in and she hangs her head in her lap, and she sobbed for most of the hour. she'd just bought a new address book, and she'd spent the morning filling in her many contacts, but then she'd been left staring at that empty blank that comes after the words "in case of emergency, please call ... ." she was nearly hysterical when she looked at me and said, "who's going to be there for me if i get in a car wreck? who's going to take care of me if i have cancer?"now in that moment, it took everything i had not to say, "i will." but what emma needed wasn't some therapist who really, really cared. emma needed a better life, and i knew this was her chance. i had learned too much since i first worked with alex to just sit there while emma's defining decade went parading by.so over the next weeks and months, i told emma three things that every twentysomething, male or female, deserves to hear.first, i told emma to forget about having an identity crisis and get some identity capital. by get identity capital, i mean do something that adds value to who you are. do something that's an investment in who you might want to be next. i didn't know the future of emma's career, and no one knows the future of work, but i do know this: identity capital begets identity capital. so now is the time for that cross-country job, that internship, that startup you want to try. i'm not discounting twentysomething exploration here, but i am discounting exploration that's not supposed to count, which, by the way, is not exploration. that's procrastination. i told emma to explore work and make it count.second, i told emma that the urban tribe is overrated. best friends are great for giving rides to the airport, but twentysomethings who huddle together with like-minded peers limit who they know, what they know, how they think, how theyspeak, and where they work. that new piece of capital, that new person to date almost always comes from outside the inner circle. new things come from what are called our weak ties, our friends of friends of friends. so yes, half of twentysomethings are un- or under-employed. but half aren't, and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group. half of new jobs are never posted, so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that un-posted job. it's not cheating. it's the science of how information spreads.last but not least, emma believed that you can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends. now this was true for her growing up, but as a twentysomething, soon emma would pick her family when she partnered with someone and created a family of her own. i told emma the time to start picking your family is now. now you may be thinking that 30 is actually a better time to settle down than 20, or even 25, and i agree with you. but grabbing whoever you're living with or sleeping with when everyone on facebook starts walking down the aisle is not progress. the best time to work on your marriage is before you have one, and that means being as intentional with love as you are with work. picking your family is about consciously choosing who and what you want rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing you.so what happened to emma? well, we went through that address book, and she found an old roommate's cousin who worked at an art museum in another state. that weak tie helped her get a job there. that job offer gave her the reason to leave that live-in boyfriend. now, five years later, she's a special events planner for museums. she's married to a man she mindfully chose. she loves her new career, she loves her new family, and she sent。

Its all we experienced through our senses, like our eyes and phones with cameras. The Internet is awesome too. But the Internet and reality have a hard time working together. Thankfully this is changing quickly. New tools mean that the world around you can now be seen with a layer of new information from the Internet. This is Augmented Reality Explained by Common Craft. 现实世界很棒！我们可以摸,可以看,还能用相机拍。
网络世界也不赖，但是现实和网络始终不来电。
现在好了，一种新创造可以给现实世界添加网络解释，这就是增加现实技术。
If youve ever seen a movie with a fighter pilot, youve seen the pilot’s view from the cockpit, but something’s missing. The pilot needs a layer of information that adds useful items to his view of reality. Recently, this kind of layer started working on your smartphone. But instead of flight data, you have data about the world around you. Its Augmented Reality.你看过空战电影吧？这是驾驶舱的显示屏。

幸福并不在于单纯的占有金钱,幸福还在于取得成功后的喜悦,在于创造努力时的激-情.务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励,而去疯狂追逐那转瞬即逝的利润.如果这些黯淡的日子能使我们认识到,我们真正的使命不是要别人侍奉,而是要为自己和同胞们服务的话,那么,我们付出的代价是完全值得的.

我有一个梦：有一天,这个国家将站起来,并实现他的信条的真正含义：我们将扞卫这些不言而喻的真理,即所有人生来平等.我有一个梦：有一天在乔治亚洲红色的山丘上,从前的奴隶的子孙们能和奴隶主的子孙们像兄弟一样坐在同一张桌旁;我有一个梦我的四个孩子有一天将生活在这样一个国度,在那里,人们不以肤色,而是以品格来评价他们.当自由的钟声响起的时候,当我们让它从每一个村庄,每一个州,每一个城市响起的时候,我们将能够加速这一天的到来.那是,上帝

演讲稿又叫演说词,它是在大会上或其他公开场合发表个人的观点、见解和主张的文稿.演讲稿的好坏直接决定了演讲的成功与失败.演讲稿像议论文一样论点鲜明、逻辑性强,但它又不是一般的议论文.它是一种带有宣传性和鼓动性的应用文体,经常使用各种修辞手法和艺术手法,具有较强的感染力.演.
讲未必都使用演讲稿,不少著名的演讲都是即兴之作,由别人经过记录流传开来的.但重要的演讲最好还是事先准备好演讲稿,因为演讲稿至少有两个方面的作用：其一,通过对思路的精心梳理,对材料的精心组织,使演讲内容更加深刻和富有条理.其二,可帮助演讲者消除临场紧张、恐惧的心理,增强演讲者的自信心.演讲稿特点主要区别演讲和表演、作文有很大的区别.首先,演讲是演讲者就人们普遍关注的某种有意义的事物或问题,通过口头语言面对一定场合的听众,直接发表意见的一种社会活动.其次,作文是通过文章向读者单方面的输出信息,演讲则是演讲者在现场与听众双向交流信息.严格地讲,演讲是演讲者与听众、听众与听众的三角信息交流,演讲者不能以传达自己的思想和情感、情绪为满足,他必须能控制住自己与听众、听众与听众情绪的应和与交流.所以,为演讲准备的稿子就具有以下三个特点：主要特点第一、针对性.演讲是一种社会活动,是用于公众场合的宣传形式.它为了以思想、感情、事例和理论来晓喻听众,打动听众,征服群众,必须要有现实的针对性.所谓针对性,首先是提出的问题是听众所关心的问题,评论和论辨要有雄辩的逻辑力量,要能为听众所接受并心悦诚服,这样,才能起到应有的社会效果；其次是要懂得听众有不同的对象和不同的层次,而公众场合也有不同的类型,如党团集会、专业性会议、服务性俱乐部、学校、社会团体、宗教团体、各类竞赛场合,写作时要根据不同场合和不同对象,为听众设计不同的演讲内容.第二、可讲性.演讲的本质在于讲,而不在于演,它以讲为主、以演为辅.由于演讲要诉诸口头,拟稿时必须以易说能讲为前提.如果说,有些文章和作品主要通过阅读欣赏,领略其中意义和情味,那么,演讲稿的要求则是上口入耳.一篇好的演讲稿对演讲者来说要可讲；对听讲者来说应好听.因此,演讲稿写成之后,最好能通过试讲或默念加以检查,凡是讲不顺口或听不清楚之处（如句子。
