A broken mirror joined together

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420-589), there lived a beautiful, intelligent princess name Lechang in the State Chen. She and her husband Xu Deyan loved each other dearly. But before long their country was in danger of being invaded by the troops of the Sui Dynasty. Princess Lechang and Xu Deyan had a premonition that their county would be occupied by the invaders and they would have to leave the palace and go into exile. During the chaos they might lose touch with each other. They broke a bronze mirror, a symbol of the unity of husband and wife into two parts and each of them kept a half. They aGREed that each would take their half of the mirror to the fair during the Lantern Festival, which is on the 15th day of the first Lunar month, in the hope that would meet again. When they were united the two halves would join together. Soon their premonition came true. During the chaos of war, the princess lost touch with her husband was taken to a powerful minister Yang Su's house and was made his mistress.

At the Lantern Festival the next year, Xu Deyan took his half of the mirror to the fair. He hoped that he could meet his wife. It so happened that a servant was selling the other half of the bronze mirror. Xu Deyan recognized it immediately. He asked the servant about his wife. As he heard about her bitter experience, tears rolled down his cheeks. Xu Deyan wrote a poem on the half of the mirror kept by his wife: "You left me with your broken mirror Now the mirror is back but not you I can no longer see your reflection in the mirror Only the bright moon but not you" .

the servant brought back the inscribed half of the mirror to princess Lechang. For days, she could not help sobbing because she knew her husband was still alive and that he missed her but they could not meet forever.

the minister, Yang Su, found this out. He was also moved by their true love and realized it was impossible to get Lechang's love. So he sent for Xu Deyan and allowed the husband and wife to reunite.

From that story comes the idiom "A broken mirror joined together".

It is used to suggest the happy reunion of a separated couple.

破镜重圆

南北朝时期，陈国公主乐昌美丽且有才华。她与丈夫徐德言感情深厚。但当时，隋朝正入侵陈国，陈国即将被灭亡。乐昌公主和徐德言都预感到他们的国家将被入侵者占领，他们也会被迫离开王宫，背井离乡。战乱中，他们可能失去联系。于是，他们将一枚象征夫妻的铜镜一劈两半，夫妻二人各藏半边。相约在第二年正月十五元宵节那天，将各自的半片铜镜拿到集市去卖。期盼能重逢，并将两面镜子合而为一。

不久他们的预感就成为了现实。战乱中，公主与丈夫失散了，并被送到隋朝一位很有权势的大臣杨素家中，成了他的小妾。在第二年的元宵节上，徐德言带着他的半边铜镜来到集市上，渴望能遇见他的妻子。碰巧，有一名仆人正在卖半面的铜镜。徐德言马上认出了这面镜子。他向那名仆人打听妻子的下落。当他得知妻子的痛苦遭遇后，他不禁泪流满面。他在妻子的那半面铜镜上题了首诗："镜与人俱去，镜归人不归。无复嫦娥影，空留明月辉"。

那个仆人把题了诗的铜镜带回来，交给了乐昌公主。一连几天，她都终日以泪洗面，因为她知道丈夫还活着而且想念她，但他们却无法再相见了。

杨素终于发现了这件事。他也被两人的真情所打动，觉得自己也不可能赢得乐昌的爱。于是，他派人找来了徐德言，让他们夫妻团圆了。

"破镜重圆"这个成语就是从这个故事来的。形容夫妻分开后，又高兴的团圆。

Look at the Sky from the Bottom of a Well

There is a frog. He lives in a well and he never goes out of the well. He thinks the sky is as big as the mouth of the well.

One day a crow comes to the well. He sees the frog and says, “Frog, let’s have a talk.” Then the frog asks, “Where are you from?” “I fly from the sky,” the crow says. The frog feels surprised and says, “The sky is only as big as the mouth of the well. How do you fly from the sky?”

The crow says, “The sky is very big. You always stay in the well, so you don’t know the world is big.”

The frog says, “I don’t believe.” But the crow says, “You can come out and have a look by yourself.”

So the frog comes out from the well. He is very surprised. How big the world is!

于是青蛙来到井外。他十分惊讶，原来世界这么大!

英语故事演讲稿篇3

Three Foxes

Once there were three foxes, they worked together. They lived a happy life. Little by little, the youngest fox became lazy, and often quarreled with the other foxes. The eldest had to leave, and the second fox was driven off, too. Looking at the warm house with a lot of good food in it, the youngest fox smiled. The eldest fox opened a new hill again. The second eldest fox dug a pool. Two of them because rich soon. The youngest fox ate up the food left by the other two foxes. In the end it felt so cold and hungry that it could not stand up.

三只狐狸

从前有三只狐狸，他们愉快地工作和居住在一起。最小的狐狸又懒又坏，经常同其他的两只狐狸争吵，气走了它的大哥和二哥。最小的狐狸得意地住在温暖的房子里享受着丰富的食品。老大重新开了一块小山坡种地。老二挖了池塘，不久他们过上了富裕的生活。最小的狐狸吃完了那些狐狸留下的所有食物，最后又冷又饿连站也站不起来。

At present, a wide vareity of credit cards issued by major banks and shopping malls are thriving in colleges and universities acrothe nation, with a multitude of college students ma-ki-ng up a growing population of card holders. Indeed, one out of five students is estimated to be in possession of at least one credit card, and the figure is expected to be on the steady increse, the latest data published by Yangtze Evening Post suggests。

Like anything prior to the emergence of this small piece of plastic, the increasing popularity of credit card on campus has both bright and dark sides. On the one hand, young adults in college, free from the trouble of pocketing a considerable sum of cash, could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goods by installments.

On the other hand, however, the irresponsible and excessive use of the cards by these youngsters, the majority of whom are fresh out of middle school incapable of budgeting their money, can make them heavily in debt which will take them years to pay off。

On my personal level, while enjoying a host of conveniences the credit card may bring, we couldn‘t afford to ignore a conspicious fact: in most cases, parents are our sole financial sources.Instead of spending without any restrict, we are supposed to put studies on the top of our agenda and move ourselves beyond heavy dependence upon our parents。

A Clever Farmer

Uncle Sam doesn’t like farmer. He thinks they are very foolish and only know work on the farm.

One winter morning, the sun is shining. Uncle Sam sits on the step of his house. At that moment, a farmer with a map in his hand comes to him.

Farmer：Excuse me, Uncle. Can you tell me know to get to the hospital, please? Uncle Sam: Lie down in the middle of the street and you’ll soon be at a hospital. Farmer Please set an example to me.

Uncle Sam: I think you come to our city at the first time. It’s much more beautiful than the field. Is that right?

Farmer: Yes, uncle. But it is built on the field. Uncle Sam’s face turns red.

Hi, everybody. This Sunday is Father’s Day, and so I wanted to take a

moment to talk about the most important job many of us will ever have and that’s

being a dad.

大家好。周日是父亲节，所以我想花点时间谈谈我们都有的重要工作—当爸爸。

Today we’re blessed to live in a world where technology allows us to

connect instantly with just about anyone on the planet. But no matter how

advanced we get, there will never be a substitute for the love and support and,

most importantly, the presence of a parent in a child’s life. And in many ways,

that’s uniquely true for fathers.

今天我们有幸生活在这样一个世界，在这里科技让我们可以和世界上任何人即时的保持联络。不管我们多么先进，在孩子的一生中，爱和支持，特别是父母的存在，是最重要的，无可替代的。而且在很多方面，对父亲们更是唯一的正确。

I never really knew my own father. I was raised by a single mom and two

wonderful grandparents who made incredible sacrifices for me. And there are

single parents all across the country who do a heroic job raising terrific kids.

But I still wish I had a dad who was not only around, but involved; another role

model to teach me what my mom did her best to instill – values like hard work

and integrity; responsibility and delayed gratification – all the things that

give a child the foundation to envision a brighter future for themselves.

我从来没有了解过我的父亲。我是由单亲母亲和两位优秀的祖父母抚养成人，他们为我做出了巨大牺牲。全国各地都有单亲父母承担抚养可怜的孩子们的伟大工作。但是我始终希望我有个父亲不仅在身边，而且还融入我的生活;成为我妈妈呕心沥血地教我做的身体力行的榜样—勤奋诚实的价值观的榜样;责任感和知足感的榜样—所有给孩子展望他们的更加光明的未来的基础的东西。

That’ s why I try every day to be for Michelle and my girls what my father

was not for my mother and me. And I’ve met plenty of other people – dads and

uncles and men without a family connection –who are trying to break the cycle

and give more of our young people a strong male role model.

这就是为什么我每天都在为米切尔和我的两个女儿做的而我的父亲无法为我的母亲和我做的。我认识很多其他人—没有完整家庭的父亲、叔伯和男人—他们正在努力打破局限给更多年轻人一个强大的男性的榜样作用。

Being a good parent – whether you’re gay or straight; a foster parent or a

grandparent – isn’t easy. It demands your constant attention, frequent

sacrifice, and a healthy dose of patience. And nobody’s perfect. To this day,

I’m still figuring out how to be a better husband to my wife and father to my

kids.

当好父母—不管你是同性恋或异性恋;养父母或祖父母—决非易事。它要求你永远的操心，经常的牺牲，不至于把孩子宠坏的耐心。没有人完美无缺。每当这一天，我都冥思苦想如何做我妻子更好的丈夫和我的孩子们的更好的父亲。

And I want to do what I can as President to encourage marriage and strong

families. We should reform our child support laws to get more men working and

engaged with their children. And my Administration will continue to work with

the faith and other community organizations, as well as businesses, on a

campaign to encourage strong parenting and fatherhood.

我作为总统希望做的是鼓励婚姻和稳固的家庭。我们应该改革我们的儿童抚养法让更多的男人努力融入他们的孩子们的生活。本届政府将继续与宗教和其他社区组织以及企业合作，鼓励双亲责任和父性。

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s that all our

personal successes shine a little less brightly if we fail at family. That’s

what matters most. When I look back on my life, I won’t be thinking about any

particular legislation I passed or policy I promoted. I’ll be thinking about

Michelle, and the journey we’ve been on together. I’ll be thinking about Sasha’s

dance recitals and Malia’s tennis matches –about the conversations we’ve had and

the quiet moments we’ve shared. I’ll be thinking about whether I did right by

them, and whether they knew, every day, just how much they were loved.

因为如果说我在成长之路上学到了一件事，那就是如果家庭不幸，我们所有个人的成功都少了一点儿明亮的光泽，这才是最重要的。当我回顾我的一生，我不会想到我通过的任何法案或我提倡的政策。我想到的是米切尔和我们共同走过的旅程。我想到的是萨沙的个人舞蹈演出和玛利亚的网球比赛—想到我们的交流和我们共享的静谧时光。我想到的是我们为她们做的是否正确，她们是否懂得，她们每天得到多少爱。

That’s what I think being a father is all about. And if we can do our best

to be a source of comfort and encouragement to our kids; if we can show them

unconditional love and help them grow into the people they were meant to be;

then we will have succeeded.

这就是我认为作为一个父亲的全部。如果我们能成为我们的孩子们的满足和鼓励的最好的源泉;如果我们能献给他们无条件的爱和帮助他们成长为他们希望的成年人;那么我们就成功了。

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, and have a great weekend.

祝父亲们节日快乐，周末愉快。

Once a simpletons wife told him to buy some ice.

Two hours later, he didnt come back. She wanted to know why he didnt come back and went out to have a look. She saw he was standing in the sun at the gate and watching the ice melting.

Whats the matter? She asked him. Why dont you bring it in?

I saw the ice was wet and I was afraid that you would scold me so Im running it dry. The simpleton answered.

But the teacher cried

The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled 。 His father knew it， but his

grandma doted on him。 He hardly left her side。 And when he wanted anything， he

either cried or threw a temper tantrum。 Then came his first day of school， his

first day away from his grandmother's loving arms。

When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door。

"Was school all right?" she asked， "Did you get along all right? did you

cry?"

"Cry?" John asked。 "No， I didn't cry， but the teacher did!"

但是老师哭了

六岁的约翰娇生惯养。他的父亲明白这一点，可他的祖父母仍然宠着他。这孩子几乎寸步不离他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭，就是闹。他第一天上学才离开祖母的怀抱。

约翰放学了，他奶奶在门口接他并问道：“学校怎样样?你过的好吗?哭了没有?”

“哭?”约翰问，“不，我没哭，可老师哭了。”

so the wolf and the dog went to the town together。

on the way ，the wolf saw that there was no hair around the dog’neck。 he felt quite surprised，and asked him why it was like that? “oh，it is nothing。”said the dog。”every night my master puts a collar around my neck and chains me up。you will soon get used to it。”

“is that the only reason。”said the wolf。”then good bye to you，my friend。i would like to be free。”

do you like to be free?every。thank you for listening。

下午好。这天，我的话题是“我要自由”。这是一个关于一只狗和一只狼的故事。

一只狼快要饿死了，一只狗看见后问他，“这对你是不好的，为什么不像我一样稳定地干活并有规律地获得食物呢?”

狼说:“如果我有个地方住，我没有意见。”狗回答说:“跟我到主人那里去，我们一齐工作。”于是狼和狗一齐回到村子。

在路上，狼注意到狗的脖子上有一圈没有毛，他很奇怪地问为什么会那样。

“噢，没有什么。”狗说，“我的主人每一天晚上都用一条铁链子拴住我，你很快就会习惯的。”“就是因为这个原因吗?”狼说道，“那么，再见了，我的朋友，我宁愿选取自由。” 你想要自由吗?多谢大家。

i'm from class 6 ,my name is _x.it's my honor to speak here .i'm very glad

to share my topic with you .do our own is my topic .

with the development of our society ,more and more people lose themselves

,and they don't know what they want to do ,they don't know what they are doing

.how terrible !

for us ,we can't choose to be born ,we can't choose our parents ,we can't

choose the country of our birth ,we can't choose the time of our death ,but we

can choose how to face our life :happy or unhappy ,positive or negative . what

is important , what we should do and what we shouldn't do ,we can decide by

ourselves. no matter how we choose and decide ,all of these are made by us .so

don't care too much about what others think of you ,only do yourself and make

yourself.

let's do a heart ,let's live in the sunshine,let our life be more

meaningful,do we want to do ,do what we do ,do our own .

that's all ,thank you for your listening

Ladies and gentlemen ,thanks for raising your attention .Today I’ll give

you a speech named “global citizenship begins at home”.

Being received by many international organizations just like OPEC ,WTO ,all

of us get closer contact with other parts of the world ,so that we should not

only deal with the native citizenship well ,but also global one .

No doubt “Kyoto Protocol” is a model of assembling abilities all over the

world to administer and green-house gas pollution .It’s beyond the effort made

by politicians and environmentalists only ,and requires all men to attend it

.Face to such issues ,we are no more than a person who comes from a certain city

even a specific country ,but a global citizen that everyone should say it

proudly .

Besides ,from Madam Curies who argues that science and technology should

not be limited by national boundaries .Progreis never a nationality’s or a

country’s progre,it need all to avail from it .Creating or spreading science and

technology ,together with direct economic support ,bridges the gap between one

area and another ,which in order to help a creature as same as ourselves or just

because of deep sympathy .Thus a person exists as individual ,as well an

undivided part of human beings all over the world .Even though what we could do

may be negligible ,doing something without regret is the necessary way to

realize and fulfill our own global citizenship .

Nowadays ,terrorist acts suggest that world lacks comprehension ,and the

divergence of religion and culture should be respect .Being respectful for the

diversity is always.

Between the darkness of earth and heaven she was burning fiercely upon a

disc of purple sea shot by the blood-red play of gleams; upon a disc of water

glittering and sinister.

A high, clear flame, an immense and lonely flame, ascended from the ocean,

and from its summit the black smoke poured continuously at the sky. She burned

furiously, mournful and imposing like a funeral pile kindled in the night,

surround-ed by the sea, watched over by the stars.

A magnificent death had come like a grace, like a gift, like a reward to

that old ship at the end of her laborious days. The surrender of her weary ghost

to the keeping of stars and sea was stirring like the sight of a glorious

triumph.

The masts fell just before daybreak, and for a moment there was a burst and

turmoil of sparks that seemed to fill with flying fire the night patient and

watchful, the vast night lying silent upon the sea.
