As we step into 2023, it's crucial to understand the significance of dance in our lives and how it has evolved over the ages. In this article, we'll explore the world of dance through an English speech and delve into its history, relevance, and impact.

第1篇

in the summer recess between freshman and sophomore years in college, i wasinvited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp hosted by a collegein michigan. i was already highly involved in most campus activities, and ijumped at the opportunity.

about an hour into the first day of camp, amid the frenzy of icebreakersand forced interactions, i first noticed the boy under the tree. he was smalland skinny, and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear frail andfragile. only 50 feet away, 200 eager campers were bumping bodies, playing,joking and meeting each other, but the boy under the tree seemed to want to beanywhere other than where he was. the desperate loneliness he radiated almoststopped me from approaching him, but i remembered the instructions from thesenior staff to stay alert for campers who might feel left out.

as i walked toward him i said, “hi, my name is kevin and i’m one of thecounselors. it’s nice to meet you. how are you?”

in a shaky, sheepish voice he reluctantly answered, “okay, i guess.”

i calmly asked him if he wanted to join the activities and meet some newpeople. he quietly replied, “no, this is not really my thing.”

i could sense that he was in a new world, that this whole experience wasforeign to him. but i somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. hedidn’t need a pep talk, he needed a friend. after several silent moments, myfirst interaction with the boy under the tree was over.

at lunch the next day, i found myself leading camp songs at the top of mylungs for 200 of my new friends. the campers were eagerly participated. my gazewandered over the mass of noise and movement and was caught by the image of theboy from under the tree, sitting alone, staring out the window. i nearly forgotthe words to the song i was supposed to be leading. at my first opportunity, itried again, with the same questions as before: “how are you doing? are youokay?”

to which he again replied, “yeah, i’m all right. i just don’t really getinto this stuff. ”

as i left the cafeteria, i too realized this was going to take more timeand effort than i had thought — if it was even possible to get through to him atall.

that evening at our nightly staff meeting, i made my concerns about himknown. i explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and askedthem to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.

the days i spend at camp each year fly by faster than any others i haveknown. thus, before i knew it, mid-week had dissolved into the final night ofcamp and i was chaperoning the “last dance”. the students were doing all theycould to savor every last moment with their new “best friends” — friends theywould probably never see again.

as i watched the campers share their parting moments, i suddenly saw whatwould be one of the most vivid memories of my life. the boy from under the tree,who stared blankly out the kitchen window, was now a shirtless dancing owned the dance floor as he and two girls proceeded to cut up a rug. iwatched as he shared meaningful, intimate time with people at whom he couldn’teven look just days earlier. i couldn’t believe it was him. in october of mysophomore year, a late-night phone call pulled me away from my chemistry book. asoft-spoken, unfamiliar voice asked politely, “is kevin there?”

“this is tom johnson’s mom. do you remember tommy from leadership camp?”

the boy under the tree. how could i not remember? “yes, i do”, i said.“he’s a very nice young man. how is he?”

an abnormally long pause followed, then mrs. johnson said, “my tommy waswalking home from school this week when he was hit by a car and killed.”shocked, i offered my condolences.

“i just wanted to call you”, she said, “because tommy mentioned you so manytimes. i wanted you to know that he went back to school this fall withconfidence. he made new friends. his grades went up. and he even went out on afew dates. i just wanted to thank you for making a difference for tom. the lastfew months were the best few months of his life.”

in that instant, i realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself everyday. you may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. i tellthis story as often as i can, and when i do, i urge others to look out for theirown “boy under the tree.”

在大一到大二之間的那個暑假，密歇根的一所大學主辦一次中學學生幹部夏令營，邀我擔任輔導員。對於校園的多數活動，我都持贊同態度並積極參與，那次我同樣欣然接受了。

頭一天活動進行大約一個鐘頭，我注意到，開始活躍的營員們興致濃厚，不太自然地互動起來，而樹下卻有一個孤零零的男孩。他身材矮小，瘦弱不堪，那明顯的不安和羞怯使他顯得不堪一擊。在只有五十英尺遠的地方，二百名充滿激情的營員正在玩耍、開玩笑並互作介紹，而樹下的男孩似乎除了想呆在原地，不想去任何地方。他流露出的極度孤獨令我幾乎難以靠近，但我沒忘記資深輔導員們的提示：對可能感覺受到冷落的營員要保持警惕。

我走向那個男孩，對他説：“嗨!我叫凱文，是你們的輔導員。很高興認識你，你好嗎?”

帶着顫抖的怯生生的聲音，他勉強答道：“我想——還好吧。”

我平靜地問他想不想投入到那些活動從而結識一些人，他輕聲回答：“不，那不關我的事。”

我能感覺到他在面對一個新的環境，這種體驗對他來説是全然陌生的。也不知為什麼,我覺得強迫他加入也不妥當。他不需要鼓勵性的講，他需要的是朋友。幾次沉默之後，我和樹下男孩的接觸就此結束。

第二天吃午飯的時候，我扯開嗓門，領着二百名剛認識的新朋友唱起了營歌。營員們都熱情參與，我的目光遊移於這羣人，忽然那個“樹下男孩”的樣子吸引了我的注意：他孤零零地坐着，眼瞅着窗外。我幾乎忘記了領唱的歌詞。只要一有機會，我就會照舊用那些話問他：“你怎麼樣?你好嗎?”

他的回答依然是：“嗯，我很好。我真地不想參與那種事兒。”

我離開自助餐廳的時候充分認識到，扭轉這種狀況所需的時間和所做的努力要比我想像的要多——即便是在能讓他徹底“迷途知返”的情況下。

在當晚的全體工作人員會議上，我告訴了他們我對他的擔憂。我向同事們説明他給我留下的印象，請求他們對他給以特別的關注，並儘可能花時間和他在一起。

每年我在營地度過的日子總是一晃而過，感覺比其它時間過得快。這次同樣如此。我還沒明白過來，星期三已成過去，露營的最後一晚來到了。我伴隨營員們跳起“最後的舞蹈”。學生們都在竭力品味跟新“摯友”在一起的最後每一刻——他們或許以後再也見不到面了。

營員們共度這難忘的分別時刻，這時我突然目睹了我一生都記憶最清晰的一幕：那個曾透過廚房窗户茫然盯着外面的樹下男孩，此時卻成了不穿襯衫的跳舞奇才。他和兩個女孩跳着搖擺舞，在舞池裏到處舞動。我注視着他跟大家共享這親密無間又意義深長的時刻，而僅僅幾天前他卻對他們連瞧也不瞧一眼。判若兩人，讓我無法相信。

我大二那年的十月，深夜的一個電話讓我放下化學課本，一個柔和卻生疏的聲音彬彬有禮地問道：

“我是湯姆?約翰遜的母親，您還記得那個參加夏令營的湯米嗎?”

“我記得。”我説，“他是個很不錯的小夥子，他現在情況怎麼樣?”

長長的反常沉默過後，約翰遜夫人又説道：“湯米這個星期從學校回家的時候，一輛汽車撞了他使他辭別人世。”我感到震驚，向她表示我的哀悼。

“我給您打電話，”她説，“只因為湯米好多次説起過您。我想讓您知道，他今年秋季返校時有了自信心，交了新朋友，學習成績提高了，甚至還出去約會過幾次。我只想表達我的感激之情，因為是您改變了他。最後的這幾個月是他度過的生命中最美好的時光。”

在那一刻，我意識到，你每天奉獻出一點點還是容易得很，你可能永遠都不知道你的舉動對他人的影響有多大。我常常講起這個故事，每當講起的時候，我總是力勸別人也注意一下他們自己的“樹下男孩”。

第2篇

youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. nobody grows old merely by a number of years. we grow old by deserting our ideals.

years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. in the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

when the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

i believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart,the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind. so i dance daily.

the seldom-used dining room of my house is now an often-used ballroom — anopen space with a hardwood floor, stereo, and a disco ball. the cd-changer hassix discs at the ready: waltz, swing, country, rock-and-roll, salsa, andtango.

each morning when i walk through the house on the way to make coffee, iturn on the music, hit the "shuffle" button, and it's dance time! i dance aloneto whatever is playing. it's a form of existential aerobics, a movingmeditation.

tango is a recent enthusiasm. it's a complex and difficult dance, so i'm upto three lessons a week, three nights out dancing, and i'm off to buenos airesfor three months of immersion in tango culture.

the first time i went tango dancing i was too intimidated to get out on thefloor. i remembered another time i had stayed on the sidelines, when the dancingbegan after a village wedding on the greek island of crete. the fancy footworkconfused me. "don't make a fool of yourself," i thought. "just watch."

reading my mind, an older woman dropped out of the dance, sat down besideme, and said, "if you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. if you do not,you will also feel foolish. so, why not dance?"

and, she said she had a secret for me. she whispered, "if you do not dance,we will know you are a fool. but if you dance, we will think well of you fortrying."

a friend asked me if my tango-mania wasn't a little ambitious. "tango? atyour age? you must be out of your mind!"

on the contrary: it's a deeply pondered decision. my passion for tangodisguises a fearfulness. i fear the shrinking of life that goes with aging. ifear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances. i fear thedying that goes on inside you when you leave the game of life to wait in thefinal checkout line.

i seek the sharp, scary pleasure that comes from beginning something new —that calls on all my resources and challenges my mind, my body, and my spirit,all at once.

my goal now is to dance all the dances as long as i can, and then to sitdown contented after the last elegant tango some sweet night and pass on becausethere wasn't another dance left in me.

so, when people say, "tango? at your age? have lost your mind?" i answer,"no, and i don't intend to."

我相信，隨着心跳、脈搏以及心中的音樂去跳舞是我的天性。所以我每天都跳。

我屋子裏那個很少使用的餐廳，現在經常被用來作“舞廳”——一個鋪着硬木地板、配有立體音響裝置的迪廳。我的換片箱裏備好了6張碟片：華爾茲、搖擺、鄉村、搖滾、薩爾薩和探戈。

每天早上，在去煮咖啡的路上，我都把音樂打開，並摁下“隨機”鍵。跳舞的時間到了!不管放的是什麼曲子，我都會隨着曲子獨自起舞。這是一種關乎存在的增氧運動，一種動起來的沉思。

探戈最近很火爆。這是一種很複雜的比較難跳的舞，所以我一週要上三次課，花三個晚上出去跳舞，我還打算去布宜諾斯艾利斯待三個月，接受探戈文化的浸禮。

第一次去上探戈舞蹈課的時候，我非常害怕，都不敢到地板上去。我還記得，有一次，在希臘克里特島上，一場鄉村婚禮之後，舞會開始了，而我卻一直待在旁邊不敢跳。那高超的步法讓我眼花繚亂。“別做傻事了，”我想，“就看看吧。”

一位年齡比我還大的女士看出了我的想法，她從舞場中退出來，坐在我旁邊説，“如果加入這場舞會，你會覺得很傻。如果你不加入，你一樣會覺得很傻。既然這樣，幹嗎不跳?”

然後，她説她要告訴我一個祕密。她低聲説道：“如果你不跳，我們就會知道你是個傻瓜。可是如果你跳了，我們就會因為你的嘗試而覺得你很棒。”

一個朋友問我，我對探戈的嗜好是不是有點兒太狂野了。“探戈?你這個年齡?你一定是精神不正常了!”

恰恰相反：這是我深思熟慮之後的決定。我對探戈的熱情掩蓋了一種害怕。我害怕生命隨着年齡的增長而縮短。我害怕因為不再學習、不再冒險而產生的無聊。我害怕在退出生命之局而等着末日審判的過程中，你體內發生的死亡。

我追尋那種隨着新事物而產生的，尖鋭而略帶驚嚇的喜悦——這就要求我全身心投入，對我的心智、身體和勇氣同時進行挑戰。

我現在的目標就是：跳完所有我能跳的舞蹈，然後，在某個甜蜜的夜晚，跳完最後一支優雅的探戈後，滿意地坐下來，離開世界——因為我體內沒有一支沒有跳過的舞了。

所以，當人們説，“探戈?你這個年齡?精神不正常吧?”我便回答：“沒有啊，我可不想不正常。”

i' m happy to make a speech here. thank you for your coming. now, the topic for my speech today is western festivals. i would like to talk about christmas.

christmas is originally a christian festival, as you can see from the formation of this word, christ-mas. the first part of the word refers to jesus christ, and the second part mas comes from the word mass, referring to a main religious ceremony in some christian churches. at first, it was celebrated for the birth of jesus christ. nowadays, although some churches still observe this festival for its religious reason, for most people, including chinese people, christmas has already become a day of secular celebrations, when people exchange greetings and gifts. however, it is still a biggest festival in the west. it is as important to the westerners as the spring festival is to the chinese people.

christmas day is on the 25th of december, and christmas eve is of course the evening of the previous day, the 24th december.

christmas holiday usually lasts for two weeks, during which most schools have a christmas break. many families put the christmas tree in their house, and hang many decorations on the tree. under the tree, they usually place many christmas presents. giving out presents and receiving presents are what kids like best about this festival.

on christmas eve, kids would put stockings at the end of their bed, wishing the santa claus would come and give them presents.

as to the tradition of giving and receiving presents in christmas, i think it has something to do with the nativity story. in the nativity story, on the birthday of baby jesus, there was a bright star shining in the east. there were three kings in the east who saw the star, and they followed the star all the way to bethlehem where the star stopped. they came to a manger where baby jesus was lying. they worshiped the little baby and gave him presents. i think this is a beautiful story. it shows a spirit of sharing and love.

i like christmas for the presents kids will receive and for its lovely story.

different people have different attitudes towards example, someof the rich are very mean with their money, while some of them are quitegenerous. some people lack of money but they are not absorbed in pursuit ofwealth while some people regard money as everything. as far as i am concerned,money is necessary for all of us, but it is not all for us.

for one thing, money is necessary for all of us. in modern society, moneyis one of tools for measure the value and can be used to exchange materials. allmaterials we need for our basic existence is all about money. without money, ourexistence will be threatened and we can not find our way to live. therefore, allof us need to earn money to afford us and our family basic needs, such as food,clothes and house.

for another, money is not all for us. though money can be used to exchangeour basic needs, it is not almighty. for example, we cannot use money to buy areal love or ability with money. hence, just as the saying goes, “money is goodservant but a bad master”. we cannot be controlled by money so that we will notbe a pathetic slave of money.

in short, we need money but we should not regard money as our only hold this attitude can we use our money properly.

every child is the apple in their parents eyes. and every child is the hope of our country. being the gethering place, campus’ security turns out to be very significant.

每一個孩子都是父母的掌上明珠。每一個孩子都是祖國的希望。校園作為孩子們的聚集地，它的安全是非常重要的。

however, recently years campus security is being threatened. some extremly people, who have suffered something bad will take revenge on the society. because they think it’s the society fault to lead their disaster. and school is important to the society and the students are vulnerable groups, who don’t have too much ability to fight back. so they can easily success. in addition, some teachers’ quality may not good so that the students in school can’t get good education or affect their virtuous soul. what’s worse, some schools may occur the phenomenon of child abuse. there are also some coincidences will threat the campus safty.

然而，近年來校園安全受到威脅。一些經歷過一些災難的極端的人會報復社會。因為他們認為他們的不幸都是社會的錯。學校對社會很重要而且學生是弱勢羣體，他們沒有太多的反擊能力。所以他們可以很容易地成功報復。此外，一些教師的素質不好，使得學生在學校無法得到良好的教育或者影響到他們善良的心靈。更糟糕的是，一些學校可能會發生虐童現象。也有一些意外會威脅到校園安全。

it’s high time that we should take measures to keep a safe campus. first of all, the school should hire more responsible gate keeper and make specific rules to prevent the social people from coming into the campus. secondly, when hiring new teachers, the school should not only consider the teachering skill but also the personal quality. the school also have to make some speech for students to increase their safe consciousness.

我們是時候應該採取措施來保持校園的安全。首先，學校應該僱傭更多有責任心的門衞並制訂具體的規章制度來阻止社會人士進入校園。其次，當僱用新的老師的時候，學校不僅要考慮到他的教學技能也要考慮到他的個人素質。學校應該做一些宣傳來提高學生們的安全意識。

in general, campus security is very important that need all of us to make effort to achieve it. the measures mentioned above are just parts of keeping campus security. i hope people from all walks of life can give their hands to help the student grow healthly.

總的來説，校園安全是非常重要的，需要我們每個人的努力去實現。上述舉措只是保持校園安全的一部分。我希望社會各界人士能伸出援手來幫助學生們健康成長。
