Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.
Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a growth. If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for me.
When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job. ??
Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future. ??
How to say future? Maybe it’s a nice wish. Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.

女士们，先生们，上午好。我很高兴在这里为大家作一个简短的讲话。
人的一生是一个成长的过程，事实上，我现在站在这里也是一次成长。如果一个人的一生必须面临不同的选择，那么我就是伴随着这些选择成长起来的。曾经我盼望将来能上大学，然而那已经过去了，现在我在这儿，只想知道我的未来会是什么样的。
当我来到这所学校，我告诉我自己：我不久的将来都从这里开始。接着我要学习如何做人，如何做一个正直的人，并且拥有一个健康的体魄，能承担重要的任务，能独立思考，思想开放，心思缜密，有判断是非的能力，有一份不错的工作。
我的老师曾经告诉我说：“你不是在修补而是在创造；永远不要忘记你向人们所展示的是你的思想，而不是你的手艺。”我会将我的性格，兴趣爱好和能力一起融入到学习中去。在这过程中，我边学习边实践。如果我能实现这个“未来”，我就认为我真的成长了。并且我深信我的亲人，好朋友以及爱会使我的未来更完美，更幸福。
如何来解释未来呢? 也许那只是一个美好的愿望。让我们下定决心，坚持到底，那我们的人生一定能过得很精彩。

A Grain Of Sand
---William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

<一粒沙子> 威廉·布莱克

从一粒沙子看到一个世界，

从一朵野花看到一个天堂，

把握在你手心里的就是无限，

永恒也就消融于一个时辰。

These Things Shall Never Die
----Charles Dickens
The pure,the bright,the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth;
The longing after something's lost,
The spirit's yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes-
These things can never die.

<这些美好不会消逝> 查尔斯·狄更斯

一切纯洁的，辉煌的，美丽的，

强烈地震撼着我们年轻的心灵的，

推动着我们做无言的祷告的，

让我们梦想着爱与真理的；

在失去之后为之感到珍惜的，

使灵魂深切地呼喊着的，

为了更美好的梦想而奋斗着的——

这些美好不会消逝。

The timid hand stretched forth to aid,
A brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour
That proves a friend indeed:
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh,
The sorrow of a contrite heart-
These things shall never die.

羞怯的伸出援助的手，

在你的兄弟需要的时候，

伤恸、困难的时候，一句真心的话

就足以证明朋友的真心；

轻声地乞求怜悯，

在审判临近的时候，

懊悔的心有一种伤感——

这些美好不会消逝。

Let nothing pass for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love-
Be firm,and just,and true:
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say to thee-
These things shall never die.

在人间传递温情，

尽你所能地去做；

别错失了唤醒爱的良机——

为人要坚定，正直，忠诚：

因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒

就不会消失。

你将听到天使的声音在说——

这些美好不会消逝。

The Rainy Day
----Herry Wadsworth Longfellow
The day is cold,and dark and dreay;
It rains,and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.

<雨天> 亨利·沃兹沃斯·朗费罗

天冷、阴暗、沉闷；

下着雨，风也刮个不停；

藤还攀附这颓垣残壁，

每来一阵狂风，枯叶坠落纷纷，

天真是阴暗而沉闷。

My life is cold and dark and dreary;
It rains and the wind is never weary;
My thought still cling to the moldering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.

我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷；

下着雨，风也刮个不停；

我的思想还在纠缠着消逝的往事，

大风里，我的青春希望相继熄灭，

天真是阴暗而沉闷。

Be still,sad herat!And cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

安静吧，忧伤的心！别再悔恨；

乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂；

你的命运和大家一样，

每个人一生都得逢上阴雨，

有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。
