英語小故事演講1

This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it , it's all coming from a scene to be remembered, a scene to recall and to cherish.

Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur - natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges are devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.

All these appalling facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 20xx the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.

英語小故事演講2

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

Today I would like to begin with a story. There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.

Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.

To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.

he Old Cat

An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

【譯文】

老貓

一位老婦人她有隻貓，這隻貓很老，老貓跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因爲它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這隻老鼠，然而，它咬不住這隻老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因爲老貓咬不了它。

於是，老婦很生氣，因爲老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這隻貓，貓說：“不要打你的老僕人，我已經爲你服務了很多年，而且還願意爲你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的'不要這麼無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。”

喬治35歲時買了架小型飛機，並開始學習駕駛。不久，他就能很嫺熟地駕機做各種各樣的特技飛行了。

喬治有個朋友名叫馬克。一天，喬治主動邀請馬克乘他的飛機上天兜一圈。馬克心想，“我乘大客機飛行過好幾次，還從來沒有乘過小飛機，我不妨試一試。”

升空後，喬治飛了有半個小時，在空中做了各種各樣的飛行特技。

後來他們着陸了。馬克很高興能夠安全返回地面。他用顫抖的聲音對他的朋友說：“喬治，非常感謝你讓我乘小飛機做了兩次飛行。”

喬治非常吃驚地問：“兩次飛行？”

“是的，我的第一次和最後一次。”馬克答道。

an indian farmer and a lion

獅子和農夫

有一個印度的農夫跟他的小孩子出去耕田，當耕完了以後，天快要黑了，他就跟小孩說：「哇！天快黑了！不行、不行了！快收東西，快點走，我們趕快走吧！」

小孩說：「哎呀！你別緊張嘛！回家的路不遠，而且我們也知道路，你幹什麼這麼緊張呢？」農夫說：「不行啊！你不知道啊！我什麼都不怕，我不怕老虎、不怕獅子，我最怕那個「晚上」！只要「晚上」一來，我就軟趴趴。那個「晚上」最恐怖了，我好怕、好怕，我受不了！」it so happened that a lion was hiding nearby and overheard their conversation. whats this thing called the nighthow could it be more fearful than i ami must find out about it, the lion mused as it moved closer to the farmer, hoping to learn more about this night that was even more frightening than itself.

剛好有一隻獅子躲在旁邊聽到了，它就想：「這個「晚上」是什麼東西？它怎麼可能比我還恐怖呢？我倒要試試看！」它就靠近農夫，想查看「晚上」是什麼種類的東西，竟然比獅子還要恐怖。

那個時候天已經黑了，那個農夫有老花眼，看不清楚，只看到一個動物跑過來靠近他，認爲是他那頭剛剛走掉的驢子，就打它幾下，說：「找你整天找不到，去哪裏了？現在纔回來！」這隻獅子心想：「完了！我怎麼那麼笨，跑來靠近「這個」，剛剛打我就是叫「晚上」的東

西吧！好恐怖啊！現在怎麼辦呢？」它在想的時候，農夫又打了它好幾下，催它趕快回家去，這隻獅子怕死了，就跟着農夫走回去。

it was even darker when they reached home. since the farmer continued to mistake the lion for his donkey, he tied it in a corner outside his house before he went to bed. that night, the lion stayed out in the cold, starving, petrified and not knowing what to expect of the night when morning dawned. it believed that the farmer was the night.

回家時天更黑了，因爲農夫認爲是他的驢子，就把獅子綁在屋外的角落邊，然後進去睡覺。那隻獅子在那邊又餓又冷整個晚上，又害怕，不曉得明天早上那個「晚上」會再對待它怎麼樣？它認爲農夫就是所謂的`「晚上」。

early the next morning, before dawn broke, the farmer got up and took his donkey to the fields. on the way, another lion passed by and found it hilarious to see a lion obediently following a farmer. it then approached the captive lion and asked, what are you doingwhy are you walking behind this man

隔天一大早，天還不怎麼亮的時候，農夫已經起來了，出門帶那頭「驢子」要去耕田。走到半路時，剛好有另外一隻獅子經過，它看到這隻獅子乖乖地跟着農夫走在後面，就感覺到好笑，它靠近這隻獅子，問：「你做什麼啦？爲什麼跟着那個人的後面走呢？」

被綁的獅子說：「噓！你不要那麼吵，趕快離開！你不知道前面走的那個，就是叫「晚上」的東西，他很恐怖啊，昨天我被他打，然後被綁了整個晚上又餓又冷，現在不曉得要帶我到哪裏去。你趕快跑，不然的話你生命難保啊！」

另外那隻獅子聽說這樣，就說：「你真好笑，你笨蛋！你是獅子、是動物之王啊！你被騙了！你現在吼他一聲，就知道誰才恐怖。」果然，這隻獅子聽它的話大吼一聲以後，那個農夫就靠過來看，現在天亮了，一看是隻獅子，哇！跑得要命。然後這隻獅子就自由了。篇三：國中生英文小故事_1

once upon a tine, there lived a rich man. he had a servant. he and the servant loved wine and good food very much. each tine the rich man left his home; the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. the rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that.

one morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “here are tow bottles of poison and some nice food in the house. you must take care of them.” with these words, he went out.

but the servant knew what the rich man had said was untrue. after the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal. because he drank too much, he was drunk and fell to the ground. when the rich man came back, he couldn’t find his food and his wine. he became very angry. he woke the

servant up. but the servant told his story very well. he said a cat had eaten up everything. he was afraid to be punished, so he drank the poison to kill himself. 從前有一個時候，有一個富人。他有一個僕人。他和僕人愛酒水和良好的食物非常多。每當有錢人離開家；僕人就喝葡萄酒，吃的所有食物中的好房子。有錢的人知道僕人做了什麼，但是他從來沒有被他的僕人這樣做。

一天早上，當他離開家時，他對僕人說，“這裏有兩瓶毒藥和一些不錯的食物在家。你必須好好照看它們。”說完這些話，他出去了。

僕人知道富人說是不真實的。在富人離開家後，他有一個很好的餐。因爲他喝得太多了，他喝醉了，倒在地上。富人回來後，找不到他的食物和酒。他變得很生氣。他醒來的僕人了。僕人告訴他的故事非常好。他說，貓吃了一切。他害怕受到懲罰，所以他喝毒藥自殺

once upon a time, there was a wolf. the wolf was maimed . he couldnt out to was very hungry and thirsty. he saw a sheep.

if you bring me the water, he said, i will find to get some food. but the sheep said , if i bring you the water, then i will be your food.

狼和羊

很久很久以前，這裏有一隻狼。他受傷了。他不能外出捕食。他感到又餓又渴，這時，他看見一隻羊。“你給我一點水解渴”，他說，“我就能自己去尋找食物了。” “是呀”，羊回答說，“如果我給你送水喝，那麼我就會成爲你的食物。”

once upon a time, a mountain shaked .

people came from far and near to see what would happen.

a river will be appear. a people said soon have a dragon appear. another man said .

after the day, a mouse jumped out from there.

山

很久以前，一座大山隆隆作響，搖晃起來。遠近各處的人都來看是怎麼回事。一個人說：要出現一條大河了。

另一個人說：準會出現一條巨龍。

等了幾天之後，山坡上終於裂開一條小縫，卻蹦出來一隻耗子。

bighead

“all the kids make fun of me”the boy cried to his mother.“they say i have a big head”

“i havent got one,use your hat.”

大腦袋

“所有的孩子都拿我開玩笑，”小男孩哭着跟媽媽說：“他們說我長了一個大腦袋。” “別聽他們的，”他媽媽安慰說：“你的腦袋長得很漂亮。好了，別哭了，去商店買10磅土豆來。”“購物袋在哪？”

“我沒有購物袋，就用你的帽子吧。”

the thirsty pigeon口渴的鴿子

a pigeon, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

zeal should not outrun discretion.

有隻鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫着一個水瓶，以爲是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過去，不料一頭碰撞在畫板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。

這是說，有些人想急於得到所需的東西，一時衝動，草率從事，就會身遭不幸。the raven and the swan烏鴉和天鵝

a raven saw a swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. supposing that the swans splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the raven left the altars in the

neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. but cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.

change of habit cannot alter nature.

烏鴉非常羨慕天鵝潔白的羽毛。他猜想天鵝一定是經常洗澡，羽毛才變得如此潔白無瑕。於是，他毅然離開了他賴以生存的祭壇，來到江湖邊。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一點都沒洗白，反而因缺少食物飢餓而死。

這故事是說，人的本性不會隨着生活方式的改變而改變。

the goat and the goatherd 山羊與牧羊人

a goatherd had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. he whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. at last the goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the goat not to tell his master. the goat replied, why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though i be silent.

do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.

很多山羊被牧羊人趕到羊圈裏。有一隻山羊不知在吃什麼好東西，單獨落在後面。牧羊人拿起一塊石頭扔了過去，正巧打斷了山羊的一隻角。牧羊人嚇得請求山羊不要告訴主人，山羊說：“即使我不說，又怎能隱瞞下去呢？我的角已斷了，這是十分明顯的事實。”這故事說明，明顯的罪狀是無法隱瞞的。

the miser守財奴

有個守財奴變賣了他所有的家產，換回了金塊，並祕密地埋在一個地方。他每天走去看看他的寶藏。有個在附近放羊的牧人留心觀察，知道了真情，趁他走後，挖出金塊拿走了。守財奴再來時，發現洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。有個人見他如此悲痛，問明原因後，說道：“喂，朋友，別再難過了，那塊金子雖是你買來的，但並不是你真正擁有的。去拿一塊石頭來，代替金塊放在洞裏，只要你心裏想着那是塊金子，你就會很高興。這樣與你擁有真正的金塊效果沒什麼不同。依我之見，你擁有那金塊時，也從沒用過。”

這故事說明，一切財物如不使用等於沒有。

the wolf and the lamb 狼與小羊

wolf, meeting with a lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the lamb the wolfs right to eat him. he thus addressed him:sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.

indeed, bleated the lamb in a mournful tone of voice, i was not then born. then said the wolf , you feed in my pasture. no, good sir, replied the lamb, i have not yet tasted grass. again said the wolf, you drink of my well. no, exclaimed the lamb, i never yet drank water, for as yet my mothers milk is both food and drink to me. upon which the wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, well! i wont remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.

the tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

一隻小羊在河邊喝水，狼見到後，便想找一個名正言順的藉口吃掉他。於是他跑到上游，惡狠狠地說小羊把河水攪渾濁了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說，他僅僅站在河邊喝水，並且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水攪渾。狼見此計不成，又說道：“我父親去年被你罵過。”小羊說，那時他還沒有出生。狼對他說：“不管你怎樣辯解，反正我不會放過你。”這說明，對惡人做任何正當的辯解也是無效的。

the bat and the weasels蝙蝠與黃鼠狼

a bat who fell upon the ground and was caught by a weasel pleaded to be spared his life. the weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. the bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. shortly afterwards the bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. the weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. the bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

it is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

president clinton, senator clinton, president carter and mrs. carter, president bush and mother governor and mrs. huckabee, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: laura and i are really pleased to be a part of this happy and historic occasion. on this day of dedication, we honor the man from hope, arkansas, who became the 42nd president of the united states. mr. president, congratulations.

this presidential library chronicles a vivid era in american history, for the benefit of future generations. it will contribute to the vitality of this fine city and to the great state of arkansas. the collections here record the dedication and hard work of thousands, who brought talent and idealism to public service. and at the center of that era, at the head of that administration, was an able and energetic american. president bill clinton led our country with optimism and a great affection for the american people, and that affection has been returned. he gave all to his job, and the nation gave him two terms.

in the early 1990s, the american people saw a young, well-spoken, relatively unknown governor rise to national prominence. yet for decades here in arkansas, the signs of destiny were clear. when young william entered a new school in the 4th grade, a classmate recalls, "he didn't mean to, but he just took the place over." when governor clinton declared his candidacy for president in this city, his close friends were not surprised in the least. they'd always known that bill clinton's moment in history would come.

arkansas is a state that knows political skill when you see it. a fellow in saline county was asked by his son why he liked governor clinton so much. he said, son, he'll look you in the eye, he'll shake your hand, he'll hold your baby, he'll pat your dog -- all at the same time.

over the years, bill clinton showed himself to be much more than a good politician. his home state elected him governor in the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s, because he was an innovator, a serious student of policy, and a man of great compassion. in the white house, the whole nation witnessed his brilliance and mastery of detail, his persuasive power, and his persistence. the president is not the kind to give up a fight. his staffers were known to say, "if clinton were the titanic, the iceberg would sink."

He began to go had eaten no food that began to want came to the apples,and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【譯文】

一個人正朝着一個富人的房子走去,當他沿着路走時,在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果,他說：“我不打算吃那些蘋果,因爲富人會給我更多的食物,他會給我很好吃的'東西.”然後他拿起蘋果,一把扔到土裏去.

他繼續走,來到河邊,河漲水了,因此,他到不了河對岸,他等了一會兒,然後他說：“今天我去不了富人家了,因爲我不能渡過河.”

他開始回家,那天他沒有吃東西.他就開始去找吃的,他找到蘋果,很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了.

不要把好東西扔掉,換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處.

英語小故事演講11

good morning.

ladies and gentlemen. today i want to tell you a story about one of my friends, a lovely and smart girl who is always ready to help others. being our grade leader, she is good at both work and study. in many people's opinion, she is excellent and perfect. but one day she told me she was gloomy and insecure. people around her considered her outstanding and flawless, thinking she could handle everything. but the more she thought about herself, the more disappointed she became. she found that she was far from perfection. last week, she didn't do well in her french quiz, and the day before yesterday, she was late for a conference. she felt depressed and frustrated, because she failed to be a perfect girl without any mistakes.

i was surprised to hear that for i thought she had every reason to be confident. however, the expectation of perfection has become a burden to her. i told her no one could be perfect and i suggested she find her own position.

in fact, people are so eager to be perfect that they demand too much of themselves. they want to be special and unique, and they want to have no defects or weaknesses. however, we can never avoid mistakes and errors. it's impossible for us to be a superman or a superwoman. no matter how successful we are, there are always some flaws. if we hold that everything should be perfect, we would be overcritical.

my friend now has changed her attitude. she accepts her shortcomings but still keeps a positive outlook. she is even more active and doesn't allow the mistakes to hinder her pursuit of excellence. and i think that's the way we should be!that's all. thank you!

從前,有兩隻老鼠,它們是好朋友.一隻老鼠居住在鄉村,另一隻住在城裏.很多年以後,鄉下老鼠碰到城裏老鼠,它說：“你一定要來我鄉下的家看看.”於是,城裏老鼠就去了.鄉下老鼠領着它到了一塊田地上它自己的家裏.它把所有最精美食物都找出來給城裏老鼠.城裏老鼠說：“這東西不好吃,你的家也不好,你爲什麼住在田野的地洞裏呢?你應該搬到城裏去住,你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子,還會吃上美味佳餚,你應該到我城裏的家看看.”

鄉下老鼠就到城裏老鼠的家去.房子十分漂亮,好吃的'東西也爲他們擺好了.可是正當他們要開始吃的時候,聽見很大的一陣響聲,城裏的老鼠叫喊起來：“快跑!快跑!貓來了!”他們飛快地跑開躲藏起來.

英語小故事演講13

Once upon a time a little old woman and a little old man lived in a cottage. One day the little old woman made a gingerbread man. She gave him currants for eyes and cherries for buttons. She put him in the oven to bake. The little old woman and little old man were very hungry and wanted to eat the gingerbread man. As soon as he was cooked, the little old woman opened the oven door. The gingerbread man jumped out of the tin and ran out of the open window shouting, 'Don't eat me!' The little old woman and little old man ran after the gingerbread man. 'Stop! Stop!' they gingerbread man did not look back. He ran on saying, 'Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!' Down the lane he sped when he came to a pig. 'Stop! Stop! I would like to eat you," shouted the pig. The gingerbread man was too fast. He ran on saying "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.”

A little further on he met a cow. 'Stop! Stop! little man,' called the hungry cow, 'I want to eat you.' Again the gingerbread man was too fast. He sped on down the road saying, "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man." The cow began to chase the gingerbread man along with the pig, and the little old woman. But the gingerbread man was too fast for them. It was not long before the gingerbread man came to a horse. 'Stop! Stop!' shouted the horse. 'I want to eat you, little man.' But the gingerbread man did not stop. He said,'Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.'

The horse joined in the chase. The gingerbread man laughed and laughed, until he came to a river. 'Oh no!' he cried, 'They will catch me. How can I cross the river?' A sly fox came out from behind a tree. 'I can help you cross the river,' said the fox. 'Jump on to my tail and I will swim across.' 'You won't eat me, will you?' said the gingerbread man. 'Of course not,' said the fox. 'I just want to help.' The gingerbread man climbed on the fox's tail. Soon the gingerbread man began to get wet. 'Climb onto my back,' said the fox. So the gingerbread man did. As he swam the fox said, 'You are too heavy. I am tired. Jump onto my nose.' So the gingerbread man did as he was told. No sooner had they reached the other side, than the fox tossed the gingerbread man up in the air. He opened his mouth and 'Snap!' that was the end of the gingerbread man.
