good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. the title of my speech today is "crossing the sea" . an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in this poem "we and they" :

all the people like us are we

and everyone else is they

we live over the sea

while they live over the way

we eat pork and beef with cow horn-handled knives

they who gobble their rice off a leaf

are horrified out of their lives.

when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked--how could two people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture. those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.

indeed, just take china as example; our modern life has been influenced by western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonald's and even rather elderly people dressed in apple jeans.

however, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place in our society today. what is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring of the nation's mentality. just look around.

how many college graduates are ready to ***pete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government?

how many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest. who has not ***e with a will to fight and who has not ***e determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game?

and i'm quite certain that if confucius had lived to see today's china, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.

it is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the western culture. but it is not only in china that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.

take the united states as an example: during the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming ***petition from japan, many american ***panies such as the ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of eastern culture.

take the chinese acupuncture as another example: this traditional treatment of diseases is finally finding its way to the west and hence the underlying notion that illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body--an idea which would strike any westerner as incredible in the past!

ladies and gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than ever before. we live in a particular era when countries, east and west, find themselves in need of readjusting their traditional values. we live, at the same time, at a critical juncture of our evolution because such problems as ethnic conflicts and regional unrest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the whole human race.

to cope with such an era and to embrace an even brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world ***munity which is be***ing **aller and **aller. my dear fellow students, our ***mand of the english language render sit possible for us to gain an insight into western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.

therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between china and the rest of the world.

it is my happiest dream that new generation of chinese will not only grow up drinking coca cola and watching hollywood, but also be blessed with the far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures; benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.

to end my speech, i would like to quote rudyard kipling again:

all the people like us are we

and everyone else is they

but once you cross over the sea

you will end by looking on we

as only a sort of they.

thank you.

译文:穿越海洋

女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。

英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道:

像我们的人是我们

其余的人是他们

我们生活在海这边

他们生活在路那边

我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉

吞吃粽叶包饭的他们

吓得要死。

我第一次读到这首诗时，我很震惊——为什么两国过去如此疏远和陌生？当然，今天的社会呈现出完全不同的局面

：以前吃米饭的人也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。

As you slowly open your eyes, look around , notice where the light comes into your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize; feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air. Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day! And most importantly, it is a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new desicisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented level! You know all this is real as long as you are confident,passionate and committed! And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed!

You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways,approaching new people, and asking new questions. You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never succumb to challenges of hardships. You will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. After all,you are the best, and you deserve the best!

As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!

Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out: I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!

the vast historical tide，some successful，some failure; some a fair death honors the whole life，some thing never dies. ebb and flow，raise a number of "confucius"，which is mixed with many "qin gui"，carried away，that he wants to succeed by hook or by crook to get success，desire to have at the end of the day is celebrated，and find the right choice，but achievements generation of celebrities. success，there are many paths，seeking a shortcut，tend to be at the end of the day to understand gave up a optimal choice and effort was not to make choices as it landed at all costs.

reese，a desire for success，but "achievement" his "disease xian can envy"，he should have been a generation of names，for the emperor should share，from a desire for success，by hook or by crook，he hit the han fei，creates the tragedy of burying confucian. history is suppressed，the trend of the development of culture is suppressed，qin，reese also destroyed，people took down the emperor，also remember the lis.

and qu yuan，created a new genre of chinese literature，in a new way to the right interpretation of chinese culture. mr yu optimal such a sentence: "the era of cultural celebrities，the more often not patible with his age." qu yuan is no exception，he king，dragon's loyal due diligence，was shangguan doctor again and again of slander，and king huai，in the adulation of again and again to please blinds，unexpectedly also close，far from xian. qu yuan to get the release time of exile，destroyed，chu qu yuan died also. can he live in people's hearts，the spirit of eternal. "world-wide all muddy i alone，public all drunk i wake up alone，500 - word article 15 and successful position

once together at the same time，but reese is celebrated "disease virtuous envy can" synonymous with，they are eager to be the world recognize，in their time，reese seems to be just，and qu yuan，under the scholar of whitewash，he lost，lost to their eras.

today，history proves that everything: qu yuan remain through the ages，reese thing never dies.

investigate the root cause，they choose different，however，made of qu yuan，has produced reese.

need a lot of success: timing，location，and; one percent talent and ninety-nine percent effort，but the most important thing is how to choose，the right choice is necessary for success. nature is the choice of drop of water in the sea，and it will never dried up，the eagle chose the blue sky，so it's achievements dream.

茫茫历史大潮，有人成功，有人失败;有人流芳百世，有人遗臭万年.潮起潮落，扬起了许多的“孔子”，其间也夹杂着许多“秦桧”，期望成功的愿望冲昏了头脑，不择手段的去获取成功，渴望到了最终也成了遗臭万年，而那些正确的选择，却成就了了一代名流.成功，有很多路径，寻求捷径的人，往往都是到了最终才明白放下了一种的选择，不择手段的努力也不如端端正正的做选择.

李斯，渴望成功，却“成就”了他的“疾贤妒能”，他原本应当是一代名相，应当替始皇分忧，可对成功的渴望蒙蔽了双眼，他不择手段，打击韩非，制造了焚书坑儒的惨剧.历史的潮流被压制，文化的发展被压制，秦灭了，李斯也灭了，人们记下了始皇，也记住了李斯.

而屈原，创造了中国文学的新体裁，以一种全新的方法来权释中国的文化.余秋雨先生优这样的一句话：“越是超时代的文化名人，往往越不能相容于他所处的那个年代.”屈原也不例外，他正道直行，竭忠尽职，被上官大夫一次次的污蔑，而楚怀王，在一次次的谄媚讨好的蒙蔽中，竟然也亲小人，远贤臣.屈原得到的释一次次的放逐，楚国灭了，屈原也死了.可他活在了人们的心中，精神不灭.“举世皆浊我独清，众人皆醉我独醒

同时一朝名臣，可李斯却是遗臭万年的”疾贤妒能“的代名词，他们都渴望被世人承认，在他们所处的那个年代，李斯看起来是正义的，而屈原，在御用文人的粉饰下，他败了，败给了他们所处的哪个年代.

时至今日，历史证明了一切：屈原流芳千古，李斯遗臭万年.

究其根源，他们的选择不一样，却成就了屈原，造就了李斯.

成功需要很多：天时，地利，人和;百分之一的天分加上百分之九十九的努力也行，可最重要的却时怎样选择，正确的选择是促成成功的必要.自然界中的滴水选择了大海，那么它就会永不干涸，苍鹰选择了蓝天，那么它就成就了梦想.
