题目:大一新生英语演讲稿写作注意事项
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning/afternoon/evening. Today, I would like to share with you some important considerations when writing an English speech for incoming freshmen. As we all know, the first year of college is a significant milestone in a student's life, and a well-prepared speech can leave a lasting impression on your peers and professors. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
1. "Understand the Purpose": Before you start writing, be clear about the purpose of your speech. Is it to introduce yourself, to motivate your fellow freshmen, or to provide valuable advice? Knowing your purpose will help you structure your content effectively.
2. "Research Your Audience": Understand who your audience is. Freshmen come from diverse backgrounds, so tailor your speech to be inclusive and relatable to everyone. Consider their level of English proficiency and their expectations from college life.
3. "Keep It Concise": A good speech is concise and to the point. Avoid unnecessary jargon and overly complex sentences. Aim for a length that is appropriate for the time allotted, typically around 3-5 minutes.
4. "Start with a Strong Opening": Your opening should grab the audience's attention. You can start with a question, a quote, a personal anecdote, or a surprising fact. This will set the tone for the rest of your speech.
5. "Use Clear and Simple Language": While it
优秀的人,把自己活成了一束光!
美国时间2022年5月18日,纽约大学举行毕业典礼,被纽约大学授予美术荣誉博士的Taylor Swift发表了振奋人心的演讲,以后霉霉就是“Dr. Swift”啦!
以下为演讲稿的中英文对照版:
Hi, I’m Taylor.
嗨,我是泰勒。
Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard. This outfit is much more comfortable.
上次我出现在这么大的体育场时,我还是在(演唱会上)穿闪光紧身衣踏着高跟鞋跳舞的时候。现在,这套衣服,可真舒服多了。
I’d like to say a huge thank you to NYU‘s Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Bill Berkeley and all the trustees and members of the board, NYU’s President Andrew Hamilton, Provost Katherine Fleming, and the faculty and alumni here today who have made this day possible. I feel so proud to share this day with my fellow honorees Susan Hockfield and Felix Matos Rodriguez, who humble me with the ways they improve our world with their work. As for me, I’m…90% sure the main reason I’m here is because I have a song called ‘22.’ And let me just say, I am elated to be here with you today as we celebrate and graduate New York University’s Class of 2022.
我想对纽约大学董事会主席比尔·伯克利和所有董事会成员、纽约大学校长安德鲁·汉密尔顿、教务长凯瑟琳·弗莱明,以及今天在座的教师和校友们表示衷心的感谢,是他们让这一天成为可能。能与同为获奖者的苏珊·霍克菲尔德和菲利克斯·马托斯·罗德里格斯分享这一天,我感到非常自豪。他们用自己的工作改善了我们的世界,让我感到谦卑。至于我,我90%确信我在这里的主要原因是我有一首歌叫《22》。而我想说的是,我很高兴今天能和大家一起庆祝,从纽约大学2022届毕业。
Not a single one of us here today has done it alone. We are each a patchwork quilt of those who have loved us, those who have believed in our futures, those who showed us empathy and kindness or told us the truth even when it wasn’t easy to hear.Those who told us we could do it when there was absolutely no proof of that.
今天在座的,没有一个人从这里毕业,完全只是依靠自己。我们每个人都是由那些爱过我们的人、那些相信我们未来的人、那些向我们展示同情心和善意的人或在我们并不容易听到时告诉我们真相的人拼凑而成的。那些在完全没有把握的情况下,告诉我们我们可以做到的人。
Someone read stories to you and taught you to dream and offered up some moral code of right and wrong for you to try and live by. Someone tried their best to explain every concept in this insanely complex world to the child that was you, as you asked a bazillion questions like ‘how does the moon work’ and ‘why can we eat salad but not grass.’ And maybe they didn’t do it perfectly. No one ever can. Maybe they aren’t with us anymore, and in that case I hope you’ll remember them today. If they are here in this stadium, I hope you’ll find your own way to express your gratitude for all the steps and missteps that have led us to this common destination.
有些人给你读故事,教你做梦,为你提供一些正确或错误的道德标准去努力生活。有些人尽力向你这个孩子解释这个疯狂复杂的世界的每一个概念,因为你问了无数个问题,比如“月亮是如何转动的”和“为什么我们可以吃沙拉而不是在吃草”。也许他们做得并不完美,但没有人能够做得完美。也许他们已经不在我们身边,在这种情况下,我希望你们今天能记住他们。如果他们在这个体育场,我希望你能找到自己的方式来表达你的感激之情,感激为实现这一共同目标而经历的好与坏。
I never got to have the normal college experience, per se. I went to public high school until tenth grade and finished my education doing homeschool work on the floors of airport terminals. Then I went out on the road on a radio tour, which sounds incredibly glamorous but in reality it consisted of a rental car, motels, and my mom and I pretending to have loud mother daughter fights with each other during boarding so no one would want the empty seat between us on Southwest.
我之前从未有过正常的大学经历。我在公立高中读到十年级,在机场航站楼的地板上完成了我的学业。在那之后,我开始了一场公路的巡回演出。这听起来非常迷人,但实际上这场巡演只是由租来的汽车和汽车旅馆,还有在登机时,为了不让人想要坐在我和我妈妈两侧的空座位,我们母女会在登机时假装互相大声争吵的片段所组成。
As a kid, I always thought I would go away to college, imagining the posters I’d hang on the wall of my freshmen dorm. I even set the ending of my music video for my song “Love Story” at my fantasy imaginary college, where I meet a male model reading a book on the grass and with one single glance, we realize we had been in love in our past lives. Which is exactly what you guys all experienced at some point in the last 4 years, right?
小时候,我一直想着自己会上大学,思考着该在大学新生宿舍墙上贴哪些张海报。我甚至把我梦想中的大学生活拍摄成了“Love Story”MV的结尾,在那里,我遇到了一位在青青草地上看书的男模特,只一眼,就意识到我们曾相爱过。这些,应该都是你们过去四年中大学生活的某个片段吧。
But I really can’t complain about not having a normal college experience to you because you went to NYU during a global pandemic, being essentially locked into your dorms or having to do classes over Zoom. Everyone in college during normal times stresses about test scores, but on top of that you also had to pass like a thousand COVID tests. I imagine the idea of a normal college experience was all you wanted too.But in this case you and I both learned that you don’t always get all the things in the bag that you selected from the menu in the delivery service that is life. You get what you get.And as I would like to say to you, you should be very proud of what you’ve done with it. Today you leave New York University and then you go out into the world searching for what’s next. And so will I.
但我真的不能抱怨没有正常大学经历的你们,因为你们在全球疫情期间上的纽约大学,基本上被隔离在宿舍里,或者不得不在Zoom上网课。在正常的情况下,每位大学生都焦虑着他们的学业成绩,但你们却还要通过上千次核酸检测。我觉得,你们也渴望能够拥有正常的大学经历。但如今的情况下,我们都清楚,很多时候你难以获得你所选择的,这就是生活,你得到的仅仅是你所能够得到的。正如我想对你们说的,你们应该为自己所做到的一切感到非常自豪。今天你们从纽约大学毕业,走向世界去寻找下一个目标。我也将如此。
So I won’t tell you what to do because no one likes that.
所以我不会告诉你该怎么做,没人会喜欢这样的建议。
I will, however, give you some life hacks I wish I knew when I was starting out my dreams of a career, and navigating life, love, pressure, choices, shame, hope and friendship.
然而,我将给你提供一些,我希望自己在开始职业生涯以及在生活、爱情、压力、选择、羞耻、希望和友谊中所希望自己能明白的生活小窍门。
The first of which is…life can be heavy, especially if you try to carry it all at once. Part of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life is about catch and release.
第一,生活可能是沉重的,尤其是当你试图背负这一切的时候。成长并进入你生命中新篇章的一部分应该是关于抓住与释放。
Secondly, learn to live alongside cringe.No matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively. Cringe is unavoidable over a lifetime. Even the term ‘cringe’ might someday be deemed ‘cringe.’
第二,学会与尴尬和难为情并存。无论你多么努力地避免陷入尴尬境地,当回溯以往,一些尴尬和难为情总是伴随而来。这些在一生中是不可避免的。甚至‘cringe’这个词有一天也可能被视为是一种难为情。
This has not been my experience. My experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life. And being embarrassed when you mess up is part of the human experience. Getting back up, dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it? That’s a gift. The times I was told no or wasn’t included, wasn’t chosen, didn’t win, didn’t make the cut…looking back, it really feels like those moments were as important, if not more crucial, than the moments I was told ‘yes.’
这并不是我所想的。我的想法是,我这样的错误往往产生了我生命中最美好的事物。当我们搞砸某事而感到尴尬这是情理之中的,大部分人都会这样。我们应该做的是重新站起来,振作起来,当作是一个机会,去看看出糗之后谁还愿意和我一起玩,并一起经历酸甜苦辣。当我被拒绝、或者没有被包括在内、没有被选中、输了、失败的时候……回过头看看,真的感觉被否定与我被肯定的时刻一样重要,甚至更重要。
Having journalists write in-depth, oftentimes critical, pieces about who they perceive me to be made me feel like I was living in some weird simulation,but it also made me look inward to learn about who I actually am.Having the world treat my love life like a spectator sport in which I lose every single game was not a great way to date in my teens and twenties, but it taught me to protect my private life fiercely. Being publicly humiliated over and over again at a young age was excruciatingly painful but it forced me to devalue the ridiculous notion of minute by minute, ever fluctuating social relevance and likability.Getting canceled on the internet and nearly losing my career gave me an excellent knowledge of all the types of wine.
有很多乐评人对我撰写深入的,经常是批评性的文章,这让我觉得自己仿佛生活在一种奇怪的假象之中,但也正是这段经历让我开始自省与内观,去了解真正的我到底是什么样的人。在我十几二十岁约会的时候,整个世界看我的感情生活就像看球赛一样,而且我每一场都输了;但同时,这段经历却也教会我如何无畏地保护好我的私生活。年少时无数次地在公众面前被狠狠地羞辱,虽然让当时的我非常痛苦,但这也迫使我快速地学会了不要在意那些荒谬可笑的言论,淡然那些忽高忽低的曝光度与路人缘。那次网暴的经历几乎毁掉了我的事业,但也让我成为了一名出色的品酒师。
I’m trying to tell you that losing things doesn’t just mean losing. A lot of the time, when we lose things, we gain things too.
我想告诉大家,失去并不是真正意味着失去。很多时候,当我们失去的同时也会收获。
How do I give advice to this many people about their life choices? I won’t. Scary news is: you’re on your own now. Cool news is: You’re on your own now.
我该怎么给这么多人的人生选择提供建议呢?我不会的。坏消息是:你现在要靠自己了。好消息是:你现在要靠自己了。
I leave you with this: We are led by our gut instincts, our intuition, our desires and fears, our scars and our dreams. And you will screw it up sometimes. So will I. And when I do, you will most likely read about on the internet. Anyway…hard things will happen to us. We will recover. We will learn from it. We will grow more resilient because of it.
最后我想说:我们是被内心深处的本能、直觉、欲望、恐惧、创伤和梦想所引导。有时会搞砸事情,我也一样。当我沦落到如此地步的时候,你们大概率都已经在互联网上了解到了。但无论如何,困难的事情都会发生在我们身上,我们也终将走出困境,我们会吸取教训,也因此变得更有韧性。
As long as we are fortunate enough to be breathing, we will breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out. And I’m a doctor now, so I know how breathing works.
人生就像呼吸一样,只要我们还幸运地没有停止呼吸,我们就会气入,气满,气沉,气出,循环往复,一切消化。我现在作为一名“doctor”,所以我知道呼吸是如何运作的。
I hope you know how proud I am to share this day with you. We’re doing this together. So let’s just keep dancing like we’re…the class of 22.
我希望你知道我有多骄傲能与你们分享这一天。我们在一起做这件事。所以,让我们继续跳舞,就像我们是……22届的学生。

Distinguished judges, teachers, dear friends:
Hello, everyone! My name is cheng xiang yan , I am a junior student comefrom life science institution y, I am very glad to stand here and sharewith you my most sincere speech‘Flying youth, master our future!’
Life is a process of growing ng goodbye to childhood, we step intoanother important time of life in the pace of young, facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....
However, who can really say what the youth is ? A period of time? Abelief?An attitude to life? Or anything else? actually, everyone has hisownunderstanding of young, it is a period of time of beauty and wonders, onlyafter you have experienced the sour , sweet ,bitter and salty, can you reallybecome a person of significance.
Just like A famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song ,where nothing isimpossible ,youth is a meaningful book, you’ll be never bored of it ;youth is arapid river ,it keeps on flowing day and night ;youth is a cup of tea ,it showsyou different kinds of tastes in your life.
As youth is so precious, of course, we must treasure it ’t let thelimited time pass by, grasping the young will means a better time is waiting foryou in the near future.
So,It’s necessary for us to prepare ourselves well for the future to ng a view on those great men in the history of hunman being, they all madefull use of their youth time to do things that are useful to society, to thewhole mankind, and as a consequence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by do something in the time of young, although you may notget achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole world, just foryoueself, for those around! So, what should we do when we are young? Here,I’llpoint out some tips to help equip ourselves.
First of all,think of what you’d like to be some day.A teacher ? A doctor? A writer? Don’t afraid of dreaming of big and great e you are young , youcan dream of doing anything and becoming anyone in the ’s more ,never ignore the power of more books and travel onething, it can increase your knowledge, for another, it’ll broaden yourhorizon.
Last but not the least , stick to your easier said than r all, future is not all g is just like blooming flowers, theyare so beautiful when blooming, which make people feel happy, but with timepassing by, after they withers ,most people think they are so it isthe same with young, we are enthusiastic when we are young, then we may lose ourpassion when getting older and we should have enough courage anddetermination to overcome all the difficulties in struggling on the road.
I firmly believe one sentence that‘If you think you can, of course youcan!’Just believe we can make it! Keep on walking towards our ngyouth , master our today, from now on , are you Ready ? That’s k you so much for your attention !
青春是珍贵的礼物,也是我们生命中的黄金时光。当我们年轻的时候,我们强壮健康。是时候让我们准备好成为负责任的公民。
青春一生只有一次,因此,重要的是我们不应该把这些年浪费在无所事事和糟糕的生活上。这也是时候了当我们的记忆最好的时候。在这段时间里,我们能够学到比什么时候更多的东西
我们变老了。在我们年轻的时候,我们热情高涨我们自己的目标。我们也努力克服我们生活中的障碍方式。
如果我们意识到青春是多么珍贵,我们就会在年轻时得到满足以及当我们变老的时候。如果我们浪费青春,我们将度过余生我们的生活希望我们能再次年轻。
正如歌曲《我的未来不是梦》所说我喜欢这首歌。
每次唱这首歌都让我充满信心。我相信我们所有的梦想都可以。
如果我们有勇气去追求,梦想就会实现。我年轻的时候,我父亲总是问我未来会怎样。有时我发现很难给予某个。"我想当医生。""我想当老师。"和"我我想成为一名科学家!"这些答案中有许多可能非常幼稚荒谬。但我从来不认为他们离得很远。
时间过得真快!谁能给自己的未来下一个定义?我知道显然,那些高楼是建立在坚实的基础上的。作为学生,我应该有一个合理的目标,努力学习。我的目标是进入最好的中学毕业后大学深造。我知道这很难,我会遇到许多困难和挫折。但是不管它们是什么,我会继续努力,永不放弃。我的老师说只有一个那种真正成功的人:那些勇于承担的人带着艰辛。即使我达不到目标,我也不后悔我所做的。
我做到了,因为我已经为我的生活奋斗了。
青春不是人生的一段时光;这是一种精神状态;这不是一个玫瑰色的脸颊,红色的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖;这是一个意志的问题,一个品质的问题想象力,情感的活力;这是深海的'新鲜生命之泉。
青春意味着勇气战胜胆怯,勇气战胜恐惧对冒险的渴望胜过对安逸的热爱。这通常存在于60岁的人身上超过一个20岁的男孩。没有人仅仅因为年龄而变老。我们变老了抛弃我们的理想。
岁月会使皮肤起皱,但放弃热情会使皮肤起皱灵魂。
担忧、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的心灵,让春天回到过去的灰尘。
青春短暂,转瞬即逝,但青春是人生最美好的时期,我们年轻,所以我们激进,我们敢于尝试,毫不犹豫地追求我们的梦。我们年轻,所以我们自信,我们从不向命运低头。我们年轻,所以我们美丽,我们有最迷人的脸庞。
这个世界不一定有美好的结局,没有缠绵青春的遗憾!无论快乐还是不快乐,青春都是用来怀念的!没有对与错,只是一个人的一点心意!这是最好的结局。
就像电影台词说的那样,成长的恐怖在于让自己看上去像你曾经不喜欢的人。增长的代价是失去一些东西,那些你觉得不珍贵的东西,但是几年后,当你经历了很多事情,你会意识到这些在你以后的生活中不会再出现。但是没关系,每个人的成长道路都是如此。珍惜你现在拥有的,因为那些是青春,带着眼泪,心碎作为回报。在接下来的日子里对过去的回忆会温暖你的心。我说,青春是不朽的,幸福,或者痛苦都是见证你年轻的证据。
生命是非常奇妙的,人类了解大自然的能力是有的限制,你永远不知道接下来会发生什么,尤其是当你发现自己陷入绝望。通往成功的道路充满变数也许成功只是一种可能性。也许,我们经过一个一生的努力,到生命的尽头,终于没有得到成功了,但我们并不后悔,因为我们努力了。
我们应该做的是珍惜我们现在所拥有的,并学会成为心存感激,展望未来。为你的梦想而战!
