大一英文演讲稿1
Companionship of Books
以书为友
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is acompanionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
看一个人读些什么书和交什么样的朋友就可知道他的为人。因为世界上有与人为友的,也有与书为友的。无论是书友或朋友,我们都应该择其最佳者而从之。
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change, it is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us, in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
一本好书就像是一个最好的朋友。它始终不渝,过去如此,现在仍然如此,将来也永远不变。它是最有耐心、最令人愉快的伴侣。在我们穷困潦倒、临危遭难的时候,它也不会抛弃我们,对我们总是一往情深。在我们年轻时,好书陶冶我们的性情,增长我们的知识;到我们年老时,它又给我们以安慰和勉励。
A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of man's life is; for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasures of good words, the golden thoughts, which remembered and cherished become our constant companions and comforters. "They are never alone",said sir Philip Sydney."that are accompanied by noble thoughts."
好书常如最精美的宝器,珍藏着人一生思想的精华。人生的境界,主要就在于他思想的境界。所以,最好的书是金玉良言的宝库,若将其中的崇高思想铭记于心,就成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。菲利普?悉尼爵士说得好:“有崇高思想做伴的人永不孤独。”
The good and true thought may in times of temptation be as an angel of mercy purifying and guarding the soul. It also enshrines the germs of action, for good words almost always inspire to good works.
当我们面临诱惑的时候,优美纯真的思想会像仁慈的天使一样,纯洁并保卫我们的灵魂。优美纯真的思想也孕育着行动的萌芽,因为金玉良言几乎总会启发善行。
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statuses decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed pages. The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
书籍具有不朽的本质,是人类勤奋努力的最为持久的产物。寺庙会倒坍,神像会朽烂,而书却经久长存。对于伟大的思想来说,时间是无关重要的。多少年以前初次闪现在作者脑海里的伟大思想今天依然清新如故。他们当时的言论和思想都刊于书页,如今依然那么生动感人。时间惟一的作用是淘汰不好的作品,因为只有真正的佳作才能经久长存。
Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; thejr experience becomes ours and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
书籍引导我们与最优秀的人物为伍,使我们置身历代伟人巨匠之间,如闻其声,如观其行,如见其人。同他们情感交融,悲喜与共。他们的感受成为我们自己的感受,我们觉得有点儿像是在作者所描绘的人生舞台上跟他们一起粉墨登场了。
The great and good do not die even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great old men. The imperial intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.
即使在人世间,伟大杰出的人物,也是永生不灭的,他们的精神载入书册,传之四海。书是人们至今仍在聆听的智慧之声,永远充满着活力。所以,我们永远都是在受着历代伟人的影响。多少世纪以前的盖世英才,如今仍同当年一样,显示着强大的生命力。

On Pleasure
自由如歌的快乐
Pleasure is a freedom song, but it is not freedom. It is the blossoming of your desires; but it is not their fruit, it is a depth calling unto a height; but it is not the deep nor the high, it is the caged taking wing; but it is notSPAce encompassed. Ay, in very truth, pleasure is a freedom song. And I fain would have you sing it with fullness of heart; yet I would not have you lose your hearts in the singing.
快乐是一首自由的歌,但它不是自由。它是你们的欲望绽放的花朵,但不是它们的果实;它是深谷对高峰的呼唤,然而它既不深沉也不高耸;它是囚禁在笼中展翅的鸟儿,而不是环抱的空间。哦,的确,快乐是首自由的歌。我愿你们全心全意地歌唱它,不愿你们在歌唱时迷失自己的心。
Some of your youth seek pleasure as if it was all, and they are judged and rebuked. I would not judge nor rebuke them. I would have them seek, for they shall find pleasure, but not her alone;seven are her sisters, and the least of them is more beautiful than pleasure. Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?
你们年轻人中有一些追求快乐,好像它就是一切,他们已受到判决和谴责。我不会判决他们,也不会谴责他们,我会让他们去寻找。因为他们寻找的是快乐,然而也不单单是快乐;快乐有七个姐妹,她们中最小的也比她柔美。难道你们未曾听说有人在刨树根时发现了宝藏吗?
And some of your elders remember pleasures with regret like wrongs committed in drunkenness. But regret is the beclouding of the mind and not its chastisement. They should remember their pleasures with gratitude, as they would the harvest of a summer. Yet if it comforts them to regret, let them be comforted.
你们中有一些老年人遗憾地回忆快乐,好像在追悔酒醉后做的错事。但遗憾只会让心灵蒙上阴影,而不是一种惩罚。他们应以感恩之心回忆他们的快乐,好像回忆夏曰的收获。但如果遗憾能给他们以慰藉,那就让他们得到安慰吧。
And there are among you those who are neither young to seek nor old to remember; and in their fear of seeking and remembering they shun all pleasures, lest they neglect the spirit or offend against it.
你们中一些人,既不是喜欢追寻的年轻人,又不是沉洒于回忆的老年人;他们在追寻和回忆的恐惧中逃避一切快乐,唯恐自己忽视或惹怒了心灵。
But even in their foregoing is their pleasure.
然而,在他们的前行中也有快乐。
And thus they too find a treasure though they dig for roots with quivering hands.
因而,即使他们用颤抖的双手挖掘树根,他们也会找到宝藏。
But tell me, who is he that can offend the spirit?
请告诉我,谁敢惹怒灵魂呢?
Shall the nightingale offend the stillness of the night,or the firefly the stars? And shall your flame or your smoke burden the wind?
夜鸾会扰乱夜的寂静,萤火虫会惹恼繁星吗?你们的火焰和烟雾会拖累风吗?
Think you the spirit is a still pool which you can trouble with a staff? Oftentimes in denying yourself pleasure you do but store the desire in the recesses of your being.
你们以为灵魂是一汪止水,你们用一根木棍就可以搅乱吗?你们通常拒绝快乐,你们只是把快乐的欲望潜伏在内心中。
Who knows but that which seem omitted today, waits for tomorrow? Even your body knows its heritage and its rightful need and will not be deceived.
有谁知道,今天被忽略的事,明天会不会存在?甚至你们的身体也了解它的本性和合理需求,而不会被欺骗。
And your body is the harp of your soul, and it is yours to bring forth sweet music from it or confused sounds.
你们的身体是你们心灵的琴弦,它或奏出柔美的乐曲,或拨弄出混乱的噪音,全都在你。
And now you ask in your heart, "How shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?" Go to your fields and your gardens and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, but it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee, for to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower a bee is a messenger of love, and to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an eCStasy.
现在你们扪心自问:“我们将怎样区别快乐冲的善与恶呢?”去你们的田野和花园,你们就会明白蜜蜂的快乐在于采集花蜜,对于花朵而言,给蜜蜂提供花蜜就是快乐。因为蜜蜂视花朵为生命之泉,而花朵视蜜蜂为爱之使者,对于两者而言,蜜蜂与花朵,给予与接受的快乐是一种需要,一种醉人心扉的喜悦。
People of Orphalese, be in your pleasures like the flowers and the bees.
奥菲里斯城的人们,尽情享受快乐吧,就像花朵和蜜蜂一样!

The Song of the River
河之歌
You hear it all along the river. You hear it, loud and strong, from the rowers as they urge the junk with its high stem, the mast lashed alongside, down the swift running stream. You hear it from the trackers, a more breathless chant, as they pull desperately against the current, half a dozen of them perhaps if they are taking up a sampan, a couple of hundred if they are hauling a splendid junk, its square sail set, over a rapid. On the junk a man stands amidships beating a drum incessantly to guide their efforts, and they pull with all their strength, like men possessed, bent double; and sometimes in the extremity of their travail they crawl on the ground, on all fours, like the beasts of the field. They strain, strain fiercely, against the pitiless might of the stream. The leader goes up and down the line and when he sees one who is not putting all his will into the task he brings down his split bamboo on the naked back. Each one must do his utmost or the labour of all is vain. And still they sing a vehement, eager chant, the chant of the turbulent waters. I do not know how words can describe what there is in it of effort. It serves to express the straining heart, the breaking muscles, and at the same time the indomitable spirit of man which overcomes the pitiless force of nature. Though the rope may part and the great junk swing back, in the end the rapid will be passed; and at the close of the weary day there is the hearty meal...
沿着整条河,都能够听见歌声,洪亮而有力度。船夫们划着木船顺流而下,船尾翘得高高的,船边绑着桅杆。这也许是急促些的号子吧。纤夫们拼命地拉着纤逆流而上,如果拉的是小木船,也许就只有五六个人,如果拉的是过急滩、扬着横帆的大船,就要二百多人了。一个壮汉站在船中央,不停地击鼓助威,指引着他们加紧干活。于是,他们用尽全身的力量,着了魔似的,俯身探地,有时用尽力了,就全身趴在地上匍匐前进,像是田地里劳动的牲畜。他们用力,拼命用力,对抗着流水无情的阻挡之力。领头的在纤绳前后不停奔走,看到有人没有竭尽全力,就用竹板打他的光背。每个人都必须竭尽全力,否则就要前功尽弃。就这样,他们仍旧唱着激昂而炙烈的号子,那汹涌澎湃的河水号子。我不知道用怎样的词语才能描写出这其中的拼搏,它体现出了紧绷的弦,几乎要断裂的筋肉,同时也体现了人类以顽强的精神克服这无情的自然力。虽然绳子可能扯断,大船可能倒退,但终能渡过激流。在筋疲力尽的一天结束之后,可以痛快地吃上一顿饱饭……
But the most agonising song is the song of the coolies who bring the great bales from the junk up the steep steps to the town wall. Up and down they go, endlessly, and endless as their toil rises their rhythmic cry. He, aw,ah,on. They are barefoot and naked to the waist. The sweat pours down their faces and their song is a groan of pain. It is a sigh of despair. It is heart rending. It is hardly human. It is the cry of souls in infinite distress, only just musical, and that last note is the ultimate sob of humanity. Life is too hard, too cruel, and this is the final despairing protest. That is the song of the river.
然而最让人苦闷的歌是苦力的歌,他们背着从船上卸下的大包,沿着陡坡爬上城墙。他们不停地来回上下,和着没有尽头的劳动,响起有节奏的喊声:嗨,呦,嗨,呦。他们赤脚裸背,脸上的汗水不断地向下流。他们的歌是痛苦的呻吟,失望的叹息,让人们听起来心碎不已,难以相信是人的声音。这是在无尽的悲凉中呼喊的灵魂,只不过配上了有节奏的音乐,那终曲简直就是人性最终的低泣。生活如此艰难、如此残酷,这喊声正是最后绝望的抗议,这就是河之歌!
