有史以来最狂妄的英文演讲(精选多篇)
第一篇:有史以来最狂妄的英文演讲
graduates of yale university, i apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but i want you to do something for me. please, take a ood look around you. look at the classmate on your left. look at the classmate on your right. now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. the person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. and you, in the middle? what can you expect? loser. loserhood. loser cum laude.
"in fact, as i look out before me today, i don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. i don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. i see a thousand losers.
"you're upset. that's understandable. after all, how can i, lawrence 'larry' ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating c(请你关注wWw.haoWoRd.cOM)lass of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? i'll tell you why. because i, lawrence "larry" ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.
"because bill gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college dropout, and you are not.
"because paul allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.
"and for good measure, because michael dell, no. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.
"hmm . . . you're very upset. that's understandable. so let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. most of you, i imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. you've established good work habits. you've established a network of people that will help you down the road. and you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy.' all that of is good. for in truth, you will need that network. you will need those strong work habits. you will need that therapy.
"you will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to no. 10 or no. 11, like steve ballmer. but then, i don't have to tell you who he really works for, do i? and for the record, he dropped out of grad school. bit of a late bloomer.
"finally, i realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, 'is there anything i can do? is there any hope for me at all?' actually, no. it's too late. you've absorbed too much, think you know too much. you're not 19 anymore. you have a built-in cap, and i'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.
"hmm... you're really very upset. that's understandable. so perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. not for you, class of '00. you are a write-off, so i'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.
"instead, i want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. i say to you, and i can't stress this enough: leave. pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. drop out. start up.
"for i can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . ."
(at this point the oracle ceo was ushered off stage.)
演讲人 larry. ellison是oracle的ceo。 larry. ellison 在耶鲁大学2014届毕业典礼上发表了以下世人看来最为狂妄、不受欢迎但又是现实真实状况的演讲。
[演讲内容]
耶鲁的毕业生们,我很抱歉——如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。我想请你们为我做一件事。请你---好好看一看周围,看一看站在你左边的同学,看一看站在你右边的同学。
请你设想这样的情况:从现在起5年之后,10年之后,或30年之后,今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者;右边的这个人,同样,也是个失败者。而你,站在中间的家伙,你以为会怎样?一样是失败者。失败的经历。失败的优等生。
说实话,今天我站在这里,并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂未来。我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者,我只看到了一千个失败者。你们感到沮丧,这是可以理解的。为什么,我,埃里森,一个退学生,竟然在美国最具声望的学府里这样厚颜地散布异端?我来告诉你原因。因为,我,埃里森,这个行星上第二富有的人,是个退学生,而你不是。因为比尔·盖茨,这个行星上最富有的人——就目前而言---是个退学生,而你不是。因为艾伦,这个行星上第三富有的人,也退了学,而你没有。再来一点证据吧,因为戴尔,这个行星上第九富有的人——他的排位还在不断上升,也是个退学生。而你,不是。
......你们非常沮丧,这是可以理解的。
你们将来需要这些有用的工作习惯。你将来需要这种'治疗'。你需要它们,因为你没辍学,所以你永远不会成为世界上最富有的人。哦,当然,你可以,也许,以你的方式进步到第10位,第11位,就像steve。但,我没有告诉你他在为谁工作,是吧?
根据记载,他是研究生时辍的学,开化得稍晚了些。
现在,我猜想你们中间很多人,也许是绝大多数人,正在琢磨,'我能做什么?我究竟有没有前途?'当然没有。太晚了,你们已经吸收了太多东西,以为自己懂得太多。你们再也不是19岁了。你们有了'内置'的帽子,哦,我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。
嗯......你们已经非常沮丧啦。这是可以理解的。所以,现在可能是讨论实质的时候啦——
绝不是为了你们,2014年毕业生。你们已经被报销,不予考虑了。我想,你们就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20万的可怜工作吧,在那里,工资单是由你两年前辍学的同班同学签字开出来的。事实上,我是寄希望于眼下还没有毕业的同学。我要对他们说,离开这里。收拾好你的东西,带着你的点子,别再回来。退学吧,开始行动。
我要告诉你,一顶帽子一套学位服必然要让你沦落......就像这些保安马上要把我从这个讲台上撵走一样必然......(此时,larry被带离了讲台)
第二篇:心怀狂妄
心怀狂妄
一中的冬来得好像很早,早上寒风也很是无情。同学们想必都很冷,我也是,也有点紧张啊。下面开始我的讲话。尊敬的老师,亲爱的同学们:大家好,我是来自高一八班的一名无名小卒,但小人物也有大梦想,也有选择的机会。我很荣幸能在国旗下讲话,我讲话的题目是《心怀狂妄》。相信同学们在以往的十六七年岁月中,选择了多次,面对光
怪陆离的人世,我们缺乏的不是选择,而是一种敢于挑战自我的另一种追求,更缺乏一种选择的狂妄,不要把目标定的很低。因为你,不是最差的那一个。比尔�盖茨为了自己刚开始的事业,他毅然决然从哈佛大学辍学,这何尝不是“一种狂妄”。他相信自己会成功,丝毫不拖泥带水,这才是狂妄的本色。是谁说“休去倚危栏,斜阳正在烟柳断肠处”。是谁说“倒不如随死归来无所依,一生清贫但逍遥。”对于现在时我们不可沽名为学霸王,也不可像前面所说浑浑噩噩,不去拼搏的过一生,即使命运多舛,也要明白,我们只有选择了才有机会去迎接新的挑战。也许项羽感叹“时不利兮,骓不逝,虞兮虞兮奈若何时”,机会就已经和他擦肩而过。一次选择,既然已经如此,何不狂妄一点,立志考不上清华一本,那样的狂妄才是真实的本色,狂妄是属于我们年轻人的。那样的选择才是你我应该面对的。要有李白那样的“天生我材必有用,千金丧尽还复来”的豪迈,要有“大风起兮风飞扬”的气势,去面对每一次选择,更要脚踏实地,每一步要走的狂妄而稳健。不因今天没有狂妄而后处处碰壁,不因选错了今天而失去明天。选择进行时,你如何狂妄,是承认自己输入一等还是重新活一回,狂妄一回。你也许无名,但你不能无志;你可以不选择,但你不能后悔;你可以不狂妄,但你不能回头。记住笃行才能隽永,狂妄是你的资本,踏实是你的本色。你可以更好!谢谢大家,我的讲话到此结束。
第三篇:英文演讲
ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a speech.
hello! i wonder whether everybody knows the meaning of these two words of "energy-conservation " and " low carbon "? i assume as a matter of course and know. does "energy-conservation" save the energy? does "low carbon" reduce carbon emission? yes, it is really simple. we often chat about them. but, do you really understand them? have they really taken root on your bottom of heart deeply?
once, the earth mother left our rich energy to cause us to be jubilant, sighed on earth's energy inexhaustible, inexhaustible, now, the newest statistics indicated, the petroleum will dry up after 60 years, the coal also might supply the humanity to use for 250 years; once, developed first, the environment question the situation which neglected is often occurred, now, the sustainable development, was together harmoniously with the nature the biggest topic. not difficult to see, the environment question in is taken unceasingly by the people. for all this, the environment question was still stern, the energy conservation reduced the platoon, the low-carbon lives imminently. at the copenhagen climate congress, this affects the human destiny the question slowly to be unable to reach the agreement actually. in the life, is driving the great displacement automobile, purchases including the fluorine air conditioning, the refrigerator, including the phosphorus laundry powder, turns on the air conditioning the low temperature also one side to bind in the summer the quilt, the daylight lamp is being long all night clearly, water cock water drop sound day and night not rest ......these influence environment phenomenon common occurrence. this is rebels with ours position. american president kennedy has said: do not have to ask the country can
make any for us, must ask first oneself can make any for the country. the low-carbon life needs everybody to participation!
the low-carbon life first is one kind of life manner. so long as wants, each person may be able to achieve! the electricity saving, saves gas and oil, the solar terms, saving water, the tree-planting, makes use of waste, by step generation of vehicle ...... the intravenous drip, in life each aspect, all may choose the low-carbon life the manner. the low-carbon life is also representing one kind healthily, the more natural life style. little eats counter-season food, the generation by works as season food; little uses the disposable product, the generation by the duplicated things; little rides an overhead traveling crane, little sits one time the elevator, the generation rides the bicycle, crawls the staircase, while falls the low-carbon withdrawal, we will have a healthier body and mind.
we believed, so long as everybody works as one, participation together, humanity's tomorrow certainly will be able to be happier! schoolmates, today, your low-carbon?
老师们、同学们:
大家好!不知大家是否知道“节能”和“低碳”这两个词的意思?我想当然知道。“节能”不就是节约能源吗?“低碳”不就是降低碳排放量吗?是啊,的确简单。我们经常把它们挂在嘴边。可是,你真的理解它们吗?它们真的深深扎根在你的心底了吗?
曾经,地球母亲留给我们丰富的能源使我们兴高采烈,感叹地球上的能源取之不尽,用之不竭,现在,最新统计表明,石油将在60年后枯竭,煤还可以供人类使用250年;曾经,物资、能源的浪费多么猖獗,现在,“节约光荣,浪费可耻”成了新一代的口头禅;曾经,“发展第一”,环境问题被忽视的情况时常发生,现在,可持续发展,与大自然和谐相处成了最大的课题。不难看出,环境问题在不断被人们重视。
尽管如此,环境问题仍然严峻,节能减排、低碳生活迫在眉睫。在哥本哈根气候大会上,这一影响人类命运的问题却迟迟无法达成协议。在生活中,开着大排量汽车,购买含氟空调、冰箱,含磷洗衣粉,夏天把空调开着低温还一边裹着被子,日光灯彻夜长明,水龙头滴水声日夜不息......,这些影响环境的现象屡见不鲜。这是与我们的主张所悖逆的。
如果整个社会是大海,每个人就是一滴水,大海的污染,影响着每一滴水,也需要每一滴水努力帮助净化污染。美国总统肯尼迪说过:“不要问国家能为我们做些什么,先要问自己能为国家做些什么。”低碳生活需要人人参与!

my dear teachers,fellow students and friends: good afternoon.
as we all know, the earth is a planet almost covered by water,and it is water made every thing on the earth lively.water is also one of the important part of our
environment.though,is there really so much water for us to clean,to produce many things,to play with? how much water are there on the earth then?
most of the water is in the oceans or locked away as ice.the largest volumes of
fresh water are stored underground as groundwater,imagine there is only one barrel of water in the world,then there is only a spoon of it on the land,and the water we can use is only a drop of it.now i have to remind all of you here that the single drop of water is never as clean as before,it has been polluted severely by our human beings.there is a very beautiful river in paris.it is the seine,it runs across the city,people drink coffee, chat on the bank in the day,at night,they enjoy the beautiful scenery in the boat,songs from the river fly into the sky made the river more attractive, the seine is a famous symbol of france;on the west coast of pacific ocean there lies the modern city shanghai,another river which used to be a very important transportation route runs through the center of the city,people respected and regard it as"mother".it is the"suzhou river,but l believe that few of you would sit beside it,people will be scattered by the terrible smell of water when walk by.i have to say it is extremely dirty! and we all know that a lot of beautiful rivers in the world also are sharing the same fate with suzhou river. who is the devil? i can't help asking.
many human activities and their by-products have the potential to pollute water. please have a look along the banks of the river, large and small industrial enterprises discharge dirty
water, tons of garbage were thrown into the river, the water contained so much that it can't clean itself. compared with the dramatic development in many sides of shanghai, the suzhou river has become a black point of the appearance of city.
fortunately, the government has control the situation now, we are happy to see some parts of the river has become clean again, and we even can find fish sometime.
the unique earth is the only planet full of lives, the water is just like the blood in the active body, protecting water is saving ourselves. not to waste a single drop of water, otherwise, the only drop of water we could keep in the future would be our tear!
my dear friends, mankind still faces a great difficulty in solving the problems of the environment and development, and there is a grand task to perform and along way to go. the middle school students in china will always cooperate with the young people of the world to protect the environment.
the future is ours to build!
thanks for listening.

第五篇:英文演讲
low-carbon is a buzzword these days, but the notion is no longer ambiguous for cities in china as the country selects five provinces and eight cities to make them the first batch of low-carbon pilot areas.
su yi has the detail.
the selected areas have promised to work out a low-carbon development plan to accelerate the establishment of a low carbon industry and promote people's low-carbon lifestyles.
lei hongpeng, senior program officer of climate and energy programme with world wide fund for nature, the world's largest conservation non-governmental organization, says the pilot project is a significant measure china has taken to deal with climate change.
"firstly, from a global perspective, we all know climate change is one of the biggest challenges the whole world is facing, i think china is one of the big emitters and also one of the countries who is affected by climate change, so china should do some thing to tackle climate change. the second is domestic perspective; china needs to explore a way to realize its development target, at the same time with limited sources and environment."
the selected provinces are guangdong, liaoning, hubei, shaanxi and yunnan, while the eight cities include tianjin, chongqing, shenzhen, xiamen, hangzhou, nanchang, guiyang and baoding. lei hongpeng explains the government's thinking behind choosing these places as the first batch of the pilot program.
"i think from provincial level, the government selected these pilots mainly base on-every area, one province or municipality is selected. for example, northeast we have liaoning province, north china we have tianjin municipality and so on. for the cities, i think the governments really consider about capacity and their actions in the past several years, which mean the cities can go forward further with their strong experience and knowledge on low-carbon development."
by the end of august, these provinces and cities have to submit their plan to the national development and reform commission for approval. xu mindong, an official from the development and reform commission of hangzhou, talks about their plan.
"hangzhou started the preparation long ago, and we have an environmental advantage. the selected areas have their own unique features, some focus on new energy, some focus on ecological construction. hangzhou's emphasis is on six aspects, including low carbon economy, environment, architecture, transportation and a low carbon society."
the local governments in those areas have to manage to establish a data gathering system of greenhouse gas emissions, while combining the efforts of all their industries to achieve the goal of maintaining a low-carbon society.
