第一篇：責任感——青年人榮譽的標誌(21世紀杯演講稿)

responsibility is a badge of honour for youth

(96年“21世紀杯全國大學生英語演講比賽”二等獎獲得者，北京外國語大學 徐義成)

facing this audience on the stage, i have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. it is an assembly of some of china's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.

i'm grateful that i've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.

though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.

in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.

the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.

one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "could you please explain this to me? i want very much to do better this time. " i started explaining, and finished in a hurry. pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly. nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldn't forgive myself. i simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?"

i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.

later in my life, i continued to experience many failures. but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.

as i grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, i began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. new buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.

new ideas, new information, new technologies. people can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. society is becoming more competitive.

words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.

such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.

we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.

we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.

such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.

such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.

standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. probably i'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. but this doesn't discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.

standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity. but that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.

i can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.

it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.

we are not going to evade that responsibility. we are going to let people down. and people, far and near, will hear of us. frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.

責任感——青年人榮譽的標誌

站在臺上面對大家，我心情十分激動。好像是在參加一次歷史性的長征。我們今天面對的遠不只一場競賽或角逐。這是才華出衆，生氣勃勃的中國青年的一次聚會。我們是青年一代的代表。爲迎接新世紀的到來，我們正在從各方面作好準備。

在這一歷史時刻，能有機會代表同齡人在此認真地回顧於國於己都至關重要的過去的15年，我感激萬分。

儘管只能談談個人經歷，而且只涉及其中一個小小的片段，但我相信，它仍然折射出對我和在過去15年間一同成長起來的青年人都不可缺少的一種思想基礎。

我上國小時，班上有位小姑娘，學習非常刻苦而成績卻不盡人意。

老師要我幫助她。看得出，她也寄厚望於我。但我那時還是個小男孩，坐不住，不懂事。我老是me避她。以便有更多時間自己玩。

期末考試前一天，她來求我說“請你給我講解一下行嗎?這次我很想考得好一點。”我開始給她講解，不一會兒便草草收場，假裝沒有察覺她迷茫的眼神，一溜煙兒地跑開了。不出所料，這次她又考砸了。兩個月後，新學期依始，傳來她死於血癌的消息。我沒有完成那項小小的任務，無人知曉。但我卻不能原諒自己。她的眼睛令我難以忘懷，彷彿在責問我，“你爲什麼不願多幫助我呢?這對於你來說，並不費事。你爲什麼不能理解我對你的信賴，而讓我帶着痛苦和遺憾離開這個世界?”

我當時才八九歲。但從某種意義上講，這件事成了我生活的新起點。因爲我開始體會到“責任”二字的意義，並盡心盡力地學着完成自己的義務。我也逐漸領會了這個神聖字眼的深刻內含:人與人之間的彼此需要和信任、合作和依賴正是人類社會存在的基礎。

之後，我在生活中又經受過多次失敗，但那小姑娘之死所引起的懊悔，心裏卻不曾再現。想到自己做每一件事都能盡職盡責，一種滿足之感便油然而生。

此事及類似的多起事件改變了我，完善了我。當我長大成人，我開始領悟周圍發生的一切變化。我發現，從某種意義上說，社會跟我一樣，正處在一個自我完善的時期。新建築、新商品、新款式一天一個樣。新思維、新信息、新技術層出不窮。即便萬里相隔，人們在轉瞬之間即可相互交談。社會競爭越演越烈。

人們越來越強調個性和創造性。越來越多的人因工作努力而受到獎賞。這就是當今的時代，一代新人由成長邁入成熟的時代。這是我們這一代人接替父輩治國安邦的時代。然而，我們也面臨很多間題。

據悉，壞人在光天化日之下作惡，周圍的羣衆居然袖手旁觀，無動於衷。我還聽說，目前我國尚有100萬兒童連國小也上不起，而鉅額資金卻拿去舉辦奢侈的宴會和購置豪華的轎車。

我們常常買的是劣質藥品，或名曰藥品實爲一文不值的廢物，非但不能除病去痛，反而會使病情加重。在某些人看來，世上金錢最寶貴，只要能賺錢，不惜犧牲道德和責任。

因而，這個時代賦予我們的是更強烈的競爭和效率意識，使我們更善於批判性地思考和創造性地行動。

此外，這個時代要求我們這一代人必須認清自己肩負的歷史重任，下定決心，採取行動，解決上述問題。長期以來，歷史一直在我們這一代人身上培養着這些品質。現在，歷史呼喚我們挺身而出，以實際行動向全民族及全人類證實我們的拳拳愛國之心和大無畏的英雄主義。

此刻，我站在講臺上回顧15年來的學生生活。今後的歲月，我很可能平平淡淡地度過。但這絲毫不會讓我心灰意冷。因爲我知道，憑藉強烈的責任感和精益求精的不懈奮鬥，我將追求一種有意義的生活，一種不枉此生的生活。

此刻，我站在講臺上回顧過去，15年來祖國取得的巨大成就激勵着千千萬萬的同齡人。我們之中大多數人將與名利和權力無緣。只有極少數人或許會後世留芳。對此我們絲毫也不會在意。因爲我們知道，世界在觀望，世界在傾聽。在這個大量機遇和激烈竟爭並存的時代，我們國家究竟去向何方，整個世界都在關注。

我永遠不會忘記班上那位小姑娘。她本應該卻沒能和在座各位一樣享受今天美好的人生和明日充滿希望的世界。

接受新世紀的挑戰，把我們的血汗、智慧和熱情奉獻給建設祖國、造福人民的偉大歷史事業。這就是我們這一代人的神聖職責。

我們決不逃避責任，決不辜負人民的期望。我們的業績將四海傳揚。我們的故事將被反覆講述，定會令人驚歎不已，以至熱淚盈眶。

有幸與時代爲伍的朋友們，讓我們勇往直前，以勝利的姿態迎接光輝燦爛的新世紀的來臨!

第四篇：21世紀杯演講稿

distinguished judges, ladies and gentlemen,

good afernoon.

today, i’m very honord to stand here to give you a speech and share my idea about 90s with you.

there is a saying goes that “90s generation is the net generation”as 90s are growing up with the fast development of internet and could be the first experiencers in the information era. some people even hold that 90s can’t live without network.

to some extend, i agree that net plays a very important role in most of 90s’ life. it makes life can buy almost anything you want and you needn’t go to the supermaket, mall or some places else by online can collect a lot of information from the internet and you needn’t go to the library to borrow the book you want which is hard to can enjoy woderful music and movies you like and needn’t buy a ticket that will cost amounts of money.

but internet is only a part of 90s’ life, let alone those who live in undeveloped regions. they actually don’t get any chance to have access to the net. i think computer and network is just a tool for us 90s to learn kownledge and to communicate with others. for example, one of my dear friend liming,who is really a so-called “net generation”. he always buys a lot of things online, such as his hats, bags and even some presents he want to send to his mother. he usually finishes his homework by seaching the information on the internet. he constantly downloads the music he likes, especaily the songs aresinged by super gilrs or happy boys. computer and internet is tool for him and colourfuled his life .

as a member of 90s, i kown there are so many misunderstandings to 90s. and i know the community is no lack of criticism to the 90s. nowadays, a lot of people think 90s generation is a negative generation for 90s are addicted to network, unable to stand a setback, selfish and conceited. however, as far as i am concerned, i inclined to believe that 90s is a promising generation. though our 90s are not perfect, we need a priod to grow up. as we all know, most of 90s are only child in our family. the majority of us are underage in current, 90s’thought are different from other people. doesn’t every successful adults grow up from a naive child? so please don’t laugh at us for our mistakes and being we need is just more concerns and guidances. please don’t call us the net generation, just call us the growing generation .

thank you, thanks for your listening.

金璐清華大學 冠軍

題目：what would you do if you had only one day left to live?

don’t people just love the word t-e-l-e “tele”, which means far away. indeed this is how modern technology has changed our world. but please don’t forget this other word with “tele”: telepathy which means human beings’ inborn ability to connect to our loved ones. our minds are supposed to read each other’s minds; our hearts are supposed to feel each other’s hearts — and fulfill these without any forms of tool!

but the moment i desperately struggled to remember grandmother’s face, the telepathy between her and me had shut down forever. with the help of modern technology, i killed our telepathy.

this shall never happen again! the “tele”s are great inventions. but “telepathy”

gives them the warmth of a human face. let’s harness the power of television to develop our kid’s telepathy with nature? so they can read the secret language of flowers. let’s make the telephone lines preserve our telepathy with each other, so we can connect in a warm and feeling way. let technology keep our “telepathy” alive!

金璐同學的演講稿最大的亮點是巧妙地找到了“telecommunications”和“telepathy”這一對同以“tele”爲前綴，但卻表達了兩個截然相反的人與人之間的相處模式：far away和close touch by heart。

telepathy，意指“人與人之間無需外力幫助的心靈感應”。作者指出，在現代社會裏，人們越來越依賴現代科技，漸漸失去了和親人朋友之間心靈感應的能力：“with the help of modern technology, i killed our telepathy。”作者講述了和所教的小孩子以及和去世的奶奶之間的小故事，淺顯易懂地闡述了這個現象。講故事是最能拉近和觀衆距離，最易打動人心的一個演講技巧。

但是，作者也並沒有完全否定telecommunications的積極作用：“let technology keep our ‘telepathy’ alive”。太過依賴電視、電話，會拉開人與人之間的距離；但同時這些現代通訊設備的確爲面對面交流不方便的人們提供了交流的渠道，我們可以利用這些通訊設備多和親人朋友聊天，增進了解，保持心靈上的交流。一正一反，但又有所側重，使得這篇演講稿重點突出，但又不至於過於偏激。

蘇寧馨遼寧大學 亞軍

題目：if i had a magic wish

if i was given the chance to make my magic wish now, i wish we could go back in time and live three days without advanced technology, i wonder what we will do in these three days, and here is what i imagined:

on the first day, people would be so uncomfortable with the new situation that they would probably be confused and just don’t know what to do. the world would just be in a mess for the whole day..

and on the second day, as life goes on, people would have to find alternative ways to deal with their daily rituals: students will have to go to libraries for information they want instead of searching on google; boys will have to express their affection to girls in person instead of sending an annoying message; and young people today could have the chance to experience the childhood of their parents. on this particular day, we can pick up all we have lost in the modern world.

and there comes the third day, after the previous two days, we gradually come to realize that we should have pay more effort to our studies and work as we actually have so much creativity and potential when we work on our own; that we should have spent more time with a friend, a parent or a child as we do love them, but we don’t really understand them due to the lack of communication and that we shouldn’t have been so dependent on modern technology as they are not invented to confine us, but to inspire us. the last day will be spent in sparks of new ideas and sweet moments with our loved ones.

蘇寧馨同學的稿子最大的亮點在於她對於現代人在沒有現代科技下生活三天的情景。這三天，從“a mess for the whole day”，到“pick up all we lost in the modern world”，最後到“sparks of new ideas and sweet moment with our loved ones”，層層遞進，反思現代人對科技的過分依賴，而後鼓勵人們重拾創造力和人際交往能力。

對這三天的具體描述，體現了作者豐富的想象力。而且這個三天沒有現代科技的生活的假設是個相當有趣的設想，能夠引起觀衆們的濃厚興趣，吸引住聽衆，隨着演講者的講述，邊聽邊想象。因此，raising an intriguing question是一個值得學習的演講技巧。

陳藝北京語言大學 季軍

題目：milkman vs. mailman

when i was a kid, milk wasn’t for sale everywhere. for the families who need it, they depended on the milkmen to take it from the local dairy farms to their houses.

in our neighborhood, there was such a milkman, whose arrival was much anticipated by the children and always brought us laughter and joy. he knew the name of every kid and could easily see through our tricks. if we didn’t behave, he would side with our parents and threaten to rob us of the nutritious drink. the entire neighborhood was acquainted with him; saw him as a member of the community just like the many residents or street vendors. there was a bond between all of us for it was not only the commodities that been transacted, but also a sense of caring and dependability. and that small box fixed onto our door, other than being a drop-off point for milk; it was a communication junction between the people as we took the initiative to reach out to others.

fast forward to today, milk is ubiquitous with no dedicated delivery system. but the convenience level of our live has gone up a notch. almost everything is for sale online, which spares us all the travelling and talking. with a few ready clicks, shopping is done. the rest is left for those speed delivery companies. usually it’s a grumpy mailman, who reaches us through cell phone, urging everyone to pick up their parcels as soon as possible. and the minute the receipt is signed, we rush back to unpack while the courier dashes to the next destination. there is barely a conversation carried out, nor do we feel the need to talk to such a stranger, who changes from time to time frequently. it seems that people are always in a hurry now, though we have more conveniences, still we run short of time to stop and stare, to speak and share.

陳藝同學的稿子最大的亮點是對比和取典型的運用。作者對比“old-timer”和“new-timer”生活中兩個極富代表性的形象：milkman和mailman.

milkman代表的是一種過去人與人之間固定、頻繁、親密的交流方式，而mailman則代表人們在“快餐生活”時代過分追求高效導致的冷漠、疏遠的人際關係。

作者只挑選了兩個典型，並不多，但對兩個典型都進行了非常充分的闡述，夾敘夾議，並帶抒情，例子少但精。
