大學(xué)生英語(yǔ)演講：成功經(jīng)驗(yàn)

1、.大學(xué)生英語(yǔ)演講：成功經(jīng)歷my definition of successby chen heng 陳恒 上海外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)獲得第五屆全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽冠軍專家點(diǎn)評(píng):演講開頭用了一個(gè)寓言故事，非常生動(dòng)，最后點(diǎn)出對(duì)成功的看法，到達(dá)了點(diǎn)題的效果。 “once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. to all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the

2、 old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. one day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince." well, you know the rest. the three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the prin

3、cess's hand triumphantly.and the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "and they live happily every after."the story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. the reward of success w

4、ill be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. if a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. the term "succ

5、ess", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. but as i understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. to clarify my view, let me give another analogy.if we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarg

6、ed the goal and sent away david seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another david, namely david beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. if we further changed the rules by not allowing arsenal's defenders to defend

7、, so that beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. in accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. the sense of atta

8、inment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.the concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. in acquiring the ability to do the same

9、as you can, he or she achieve success. that's why we greatly admire stephen hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.i myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take pa

10、rt in a speech contest like this. i could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.but i chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. now here i am. if i come out first, it will be a great success for me. if i come out last-i hope this w

11、ill not be the case-but if i come out last, i will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. for me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in

12、the long journey toward the final success in my life, because i have truly gained by participating.let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. you my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story

13、, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. the ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.thank you.譯文:成功之我見 “很久以前，有個(gè)國(guó)王，他的女兒貌美如花。老國(guó)王向所有來(lái)求婚的男士提出了三個(gè)任務(wù)作為挑戰(zhàn)，而每一項(xiàng)任務(wù)都異常艱巨，幾乎不可能完成。一天，來(lái)了一位年輕英俊的王子好了，下面的故事你們都知道了。三項(xiàng)任務(wù)在不同的版本中各不一樣，但關(guān)鍵部分的情節(jié)都如

14、出一轍:王子成功地過關(guān)，得到了公主的芳心。而故事的結(jié)局也都一樣，最后一句都寫道:“從此他們幸福地生活在一起。 為什么我們對(duì)如此美妙、如此不實(shí)在際,而我要說(shuō),如此缺乏想象力的東西這么樂此不疲呢?這樣的故事又如何可以經(jīng)歷幾代人的重復(fù)?我想，因?yàn)樗堑湫偷某晒Φ睦?。故事的思想性很?qiáng)，具有代表性。通過故事帶給我們的啟示，我們認(rèn)識(shí)到了成功定義中的四個(gè)步驟;第一，目的的設(shè)定，有如故事里美麗的公主;第二，所遇到的困難和挑戰(zhàn)，就像三大任務(wù);第三，抑制困難的過程，故事中青年經(jīng)歷重重難關(guān)可以作為象征;第四，就是成功的果實(shí)，如同幸福的婚姻。 這個(gè)故事不僅迎合了人們內(nèi)心深處對(duì)成功的向往，也強(qiáng)調(diào)了過程和結(jié)果的不可別離

15、。假如通往成功的道路崎嶇曲折，那么成功的回報(bào)必然碩果累累，反之亦然。假如一個(gè)人繼承了父輩的百萬(wàn)家產(chǎn)而生活得輕松富足，那么，即使在物質(zhì)上，他也不能算是個(gè)成功人士，因?yàn)椋呢?cái)富并沒有經(jīng)過困難困苦而獲得。確切地說(shuō)，“成功這個(gè)詞，不是個(gè)靜態(tài)簡(jiǎn)單的定義。在我的理解中，真正意義上的成功是奮斗的過程和經(jīng)歷了奮斗之后贏得的滿意的結(jié)果。請(qǐng)讓我另舉一例來(lái)說(shuō)明我的見解。 假如我們?cè)囍淖冏闱虻谋荣愐?guī)那么，將球門放得很大，換下大衛(wèi)·希曼或其他任何的守門員，這樣，隨意哪個(gè)“大衛(wèi)，比方說(shuō)，“大衛(wèi)·貝克漢姆，就可以輕松進(jìn)球，然而這樣進(jìn)一球卻不能給他帶來(lái)成功的震顫與喜悅。假如我們?cè)俑囊桓谋荣愐?guī)那么，不讓

16、阿森納隊(duì)的防守來(lái)守門，那么，貝克漢姆只要?jiǎng)觿?dòng)手，其實(shí)就是抬抬腳就能進(jìn)一球，那樣的話、，實(shí)際上也沒有什么比賽可言了，因?yàn)橼A球的意義已經(jīng)不存在了。在承受挑戰(zhàn)、抑制困難和經(jīng)歷磨難的過程中，“成功的價(jià)值才得以飽滿。獲得成果的意義和所抑制的困難的程度成正比。所謂成功的概念不是一成不變的.而曇相對(duì)而言的,因?yàn)槔щy的性質(zhì)也是相對(duì)意義上的。 正常人不費(fèi)力氣做成的事對(duì)于一個(gè)殘疾人來(lái)說(shuō)也許相當(dāng)困難。獲得了同正常人一樣的才能，這個(gè)殘疾人就獲得了成功。這便是我們?yōu)槭裁闯缇词返俜?#183;霍金的原因雖然行動(dòng)不便，受到了輪椅的限制，他仍然為科學(xué)界作出了宏大的奉獻(xiàn)。 就我自己而言，生性羞澀，容易怯場(chǎng)，不得不鼓起非常大的勇氣來(lái)參加此次的演講比賽。我完全可以待在一邊，不參加大學(xué)級(jí)別的比賽，而落得輕松自在?？墒?，我還是選擇了承受這一挑戰(zhàn)來(lái)面對(duì)困難。如今我來(lái)了，假如我可以得第一的話.這對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)就是宏大的成功。假如，我是最后一名
