第一篇：责任感——青年人荣誉的标志(21世纪杯演讲稿)

responsibility is a badge of honour for youth

(96年“21世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛”二等奖获得者，北京外国语大学 徐义成)

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 ot ……此处隐藏4610个字……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.

苏宁馨同学的稿子最大的亮点在于她对于现代人在没有现代科技下生活三天的情景。这三天，从“a mess for the whole day”，到“pick up all we lost in the modern world”，最后到“sparks of new ideas and sweet moment with our loved ones”，层层递进，反思现代人对科技的过分依赖，而后鼓励人们重拾创造力和人际交往能力。

对这三天的具体描述，体现了作者丰富的想象力。而且这个三天没有现代科技的生活的假设是个相当有趣的设想，能够引起观众们的浓厚兴趣，吸引住听众，随着演讲者的讲述，边听边想象。因此，raising an intriguing question是一个值得学习的演讲技巧。

题目：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.

陈艺同学的稿子最大的亮点是对比和取典型的运用。作者对比“old-timer”和“new-timer”生活中两个极富代表性的形象：milkman和mailman.

milkman代表的是一种过去人与人之间固定、频繁、亲密的交流方式，而mailman则代表人们在“快餐生活”时代过分追求高效导致的冷漠、疏远的人际关系。

作者只挑选了两个典型，并不多，但对两个典型都进行了非常充分的阐述，夹叙夹议，并带抒情，例子少但精。
