Good morning everybody, I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. We all know that Bingxin has a famous saying “we always admire the beauty of flowers but its sprout was watered by tears of struggle and rained by blood of sacrifice”. So for the majority, behind their success, are filled of sweat and tears. Eagle flying in the vast firmament, must be experienced the pain of countless times fall under the cliff, then hammered out a pair of volley wings. A shinning of pearls, inevitably suffered countless body friction and numerous waves’ shock. In this view, a real successful people, and he must experienced numerous times to stand up again and agin after failed, because without sweat and tears on the life road ,no one can casually get the beautiful flowers. Alfter a heavy fall Shi Tiesheng lost his legs, it must be a heavy blow for anyone. But he didn't lose faith in life, but use his brain and hands to show the infinite love of life;
Beethoven was blind and deaf, but he still had written the xxxHeroxxxxxxDestinyxxxnd so on a large number of music works, in his unfortunately life, he doggedly gripped the xxxfate of the throat. They all had a fall, but they are strong enough to stand up, fight against fate and misfortune, finally they succeed. So for each of us, wrestling is not terrible, lose confidence and courage in life is the most terribe thing. In my opionion, the sweat and tears during the life’ journey are very important for us, they hone our will, and enrich our experience. As the saying goes, how can you see the rainbow without a rainy day, while you don't work hard and not struggle, how can you gain the successful flowers. All in all, the sweat and tears on the struggling road is inevitable, don’t look for shortcuts anymore, steadfast walk every step, we will succeed in the end. So belief yourself, nothing is impossile, just do it. Thank you for taking your time to listen to my speech, I hope in the near future we all can be successful.

Good afternoon, dear friends and judges. I’m very glad to stand here to present my speech.
Now, I want to ask you some questions. Have you ever quarreled with your parents or your child on account of your different points of view? Have you ever had a heart to heart talk with your parents or your child? Do you know something your children or your parents like or what they want?
Actually there are a number of teenagers in our real society who are annoyed at the generation gap between our parents and us. Although, our parents always give us their selfless love, unfortunately, we can’t understand each other.
I have the same situation like all the teenagers. I like Jay, but my mother says the songs of him sound too jumbled. And I like wearing jeans, because many girls in our school wear jeans. And they look so beautiful. But my mother says, they’re really smart, but it doesn’t fit you, your main work is study. I have no words. One day, I was surfing on the internet, my parents showed their disapproval to me.
In fact, there are always many things difficult to judge whether they are right or not. Can we say that classical music is absolutely better than rock? Can we say that jeans are better than sport trousers? What is more, Surfing on the Internet does not mean that we are going to overlook our lessons. But many parents make their children accept their points of view on everything, for they want to protect us from making any mistakes.
To be senior school students, We have our own point of views. It is important that we should be contained to make mistakes, which we can learn much from. if our parents can learn to understand the way we think and do things, or meet us half way at the right time, the generation gap may be narrowed. We must understand their love as well. Only by understanding can we forgive others for their mistakes.
I want to tell all the people whether you are a child or a parent, generous and understanding can solve the problem of generation gap.
Everything will be better when we understand each other. If I have a chance to give a speech to everyone in the world. I will only say one sentence, long live the understanding, especially for the children and their parents.
Thank you for you attention.
As we all know, a friend in need is a friend indeed. A harmonious friendship is as necessary as the air around us. Friends bring the distance between people nearer. Friends encourage us to cheer up when we face failure or distress. All in all, friendship is an indispensable part of our life.
Owing to the importance of harmonious relationships, we should think about how we can do to improve our friendships. I think that the quality of generosity is what good friends need. What else? Smiles, like food, can bring warmth to others. The reason why smiles have such a large effect is that they demonstrate our friendliness.
When you are so angry that you are out of control, please calm down and don’t let your anger do any harm.
We all know a story similar to this: Two Men and a Bear. In the forest, when a bear attacked them, the thinner man quickly climbed up to the top of a tree and forgot his promise to the fatter guy, who could not climb the tree, about helping each other when in danger. Luckily, the fatter man saved himself. The fatter mat was very disappointed, and when they got together again, he said to the thinner man, xxxYou are not my real friend. Only a friend in need is a friend indeedxxx. This is a very familiar story. It illustrates to us what a friend should be like. It is, however, just a story.
I would like to tell you something about myself, my true feel-ings. When I was in Senior One, I had great difficulty in learning science subjects. I was unable to understand the teacher and 1 could not do the exercises or the homework. I believed that I was stupid and could not learn anything. The sky was gray and the grass was yellow those days. Everything was a mess in my brain. My classmate, a good student, whom I only considered as one of the classmates before, came to me with a smile. She told me that if I needed help, she would like to help me. As she was also very busy with her studies,I asked myself, xxxCould she help me? xxxSev-eral days later, I knew the answer. Yes, she could. She did as much as she could. She made time every day to help me solve the problems and showed me many good ways to study science. Her patience and earnest nature touched me deeply. I worked very hard and my progress was reflected in my examination result. I appreciated her help very much and wanted to thank her. When I looked at her, once again she smiled at me with an encouraging and congratulatory look. At that moment I understood that a true friend should be like this.
Nowadays, it seems that there are many ways of expressing friendship. Our lives are generally better. People now have more time to consider and be more concerned about their lives. Money, which is considered by many to be of prime importance, makes it difficult to find true friendship. Is friendship only greeting each other on meeting? Is friendship only drinking and eating together? Is friendship only lending money to each other? No, a friend Should be a person you trust and understand. A friend should be a person who tastes happiness and bitterness with you. A friend should be a person who can give you confidence and encouragement.
Though everything has changed, and friendship has scores of definitions, I still believe, and I will believe forever that xxxA Friend in Need is a Friend Indeedxxx.
Farewell, Indifference
Who was the most well-known figure in China last month? It’s Ma JiaJue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates. Many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education. In my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.
Indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society. It’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other. It’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all. It’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.
Some people may say ‘What the students with psychological problems like Ma JiaJue need is not care but psychotherapy.” However, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them. Every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.
I once heard one of my roommates who was an introverted girl sobbing at mid-night. Being afraid of disturbing her, I sent a text message to comfort her. The next day, she told me that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend’s birthday party. She thought she was neglected by others. But my message was really comforting which told her someone still cared about her.
What can we do to prevent the tragedy of Ma JiaJue from happening again? Some people may say ‘Let’s open more psychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘Let’s donate more money for the poor students.’ But I’ll say “My fellow student, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!”
走出冷漠
谁是中国上个月最有名的人物? 这当然要数xxx了——这个杀害了四名同学的大学生。很多人将他的犯罪归结于他的贫穷和不全面的教育。但我觉得他的犯罪还跟他周围同学的冷漠有很大关系。
冷漠是流行于当今校园及整个社会中的一种可怕的疾病。有的同学在一起学习了4年却从未说过话,有的同学几天没去上课却无人知晓,还有的同学有了严重的心理问题却得不到关心。
有人说:像xxx那样有心理问题的人需要的不是关心而是心理治疗。但在一个人生病的时候,除了医生的治疗,他需要的还有周围人的关心。一个微笑,一声问候都能为他们的生活带来阳光。
有一天半夜,我碰巧听见寝室里一个平时很内向的女孩在轻声抽泣。为了不惊动她,我给她发了一条短信来安慰她。第二天,他告诉我那晚她哭了是因为她的一位好朋友开生日聚会没有请她参加,她觉得自己被大家所忽视了。但我对短信却给了她很大安慰,让她觉得还是有人惦记着她的。
如何才能阻止xxx的悲剧重演呢?有人呼吁应该在学校开设更多的心理辅导课程,有人建议应该给贫困学生更多的捐助,而我要说的是:同学们,让我们把更多的关爱带给我们的舍友,同学和身边的每一个人!
I can never forget the summer in 1996. I went through an extremity of despair due to my failure in the National College Entrance Examination. It seemed that my dream of being a university student would never come true. One evening my father came and told me the story of Steven Callahan, who was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. It was a miracle that he survived and was found 76 days later(the longest anyone has survived a shipwreck on a life raft alone). Later in his narrative he wrote these sentences “I tell myself I can handle it .Compared to what others have been through I’m fortunate”.
Hearing these sentences I felt something important struck me. I belived my life would mot be that bad and it was proved to be true. Later during my study in the university I always told myself “I can handle it” when my own goals seemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming and every time I said it ,I always came back to my senses.
Now I work as an English teacher in a middle school. Whenever my students complain about their difficulties in study or want to give up, I will tell the same story of Callahan to them. I just want to make them believe they can handle their difficulties because their circumstances are only bad compared to something better. But others have been through much worse. Then they will build up fortitude.
So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that can give us strength. Whatever you’re going through, tell yourself you can handle it. Compared to what others have been through, you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots with little more fortitude.

Hello judges. I’m a student from the SSFLS. My name is Zhong Shuxin.
In the 21st century, one of the most serious problems we are facing is probably the energy crisis. With the development of technology, we have created a powerful energy source, which is both efficient and low in greenhouse gas Emissions, nuclear energy. No doubt, nuclear energy does provide us with a lot of benefits, there are however, many risks which come with using it.
The majority of the risks involve radiation. As we all know, nuclear energy releases masses of radiation which can cause fatal disasters. For instance, the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster and the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. Disasters such as these have changed our attitudes towards nuclear energy.
Another major risk comes from nuclear weapons. A single nuclear missile can destroy an entire city and cause millions of deaths. During World WarⅡ, in order to win the war, countries like Russia created enough missiles to destroy the whole world.
In order to protect human beings, many countries have already taken measures to control nuclear energy. Institutions like The International Atomic Energy Agency are devoted to strengthening the implementation of safeguards. In my point of view, nuclear energy is a risk but as we are facing an energy shortage, it is the best solution we currently have available. I believe with great effort and responsibility, nuclear energy can be well controlled and continue to serve the world.
Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources,and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive.
We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet,with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear. Yet, we continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees. We see that if rivers are polluted with waste products, we will die. Yet, waste products are more and more
i think avoiding to do many things is not the way to protect the envirnment,the point is not the thing we can't do,but is the thing we shuld do,we are human beings, and we are different form the other animals,we should relay on our telegent and brave.
here i think there are two effecient ways to protect the enviroment, and first one if the development of the technology, the knowlodge is power, it always makes us to get twice acheivement with half effort,for example, an typical pollution plastic package, many places forbid to use the plastic pakage,in fact the plastic package is very good,it has many advantage, low cost ,durable,convenient. the issue is we can't break down it, with the development of technology, one day it will be wildly used, but now what we can do is to use other things to instead it. we usually call for to save the resorces, but in my opinion the resorce is just like the money, if you want more money, you have to earn, but not to save. so the best way is to use the present resorce to discover the new and powrful resorce,we call it sustanibol development.
the other aspect of the protection is advocating everyone to join the group, to make every one realize the importance of protecting the enviroment, the more people ,the more power,thus, you can image if everyone has the habit to improve our enviroment,who make the pollution, if you want the enviroment better,now make you contribution and make your choice!
about my country
I'm worried about my country.
There is polution everywhere.
It's time to do something about it.
We need fresh air to breathe.
We need pure water to drink.
We need a clean environment to be healthy.
People have to stop littering.
We have to respect our surroundings.
We must become friends of the earth.
First,everyone must get involved.
Everyone must lend a hand.
Together we can clean up our neiborhoods.
Second,we can practice conservation.
We can reduce waste and reuse things.
We can recycle paper,bottles,and plastic.
Third,we can put up more xxxDon't litterxxx signs.
We can trashcans on every corner.
We can pick up garbage when we see it.
We must take action to fight pollution.
It's our future we're protecting.
It's our duty to keep our planet clean.
So,please don't pollute.
Don't be a litterbug.
Don't be afraid to remind others,too.
Let's protect nature's beauty.
Let's make our future bright.
Let's start to clean up now.
For our students, marks is above everything. Teachers will judge us fromour marks. With marks we can be enrolled into junior middle schools. With marks,we can be enrolled into senior middle schools. With marks we can be enrolledinto college. With marks we can be enrolled into postgraduate and doctrinestudies. Still with marks we can be graded and be allowed to go abroad forfurther studies. Our parents will be strict with us with the marks. Our societyjudge us from marks. However, sometimes we students compare one another withmarks directly. We are completely controlled by marks. We like them and we feelsorry for them. But what attitude towards our marks should we take?
Truly, marks functions cannot be underestimated. In terms of test in ourstudy, marks are fair and real. That is the reason why we say xxxEveryone is equalbefore marks. xxx
However, I think marks are the sole standard to judge the success orfailure of students in exams. Sometimes, marks more than ten or less than one ortwo in our exams comparing with others mean not everything. The success orfailure in exams will be influenced by experience on the spot and the examinee’shealth etc. Once in a while one cannot fail in exams. xxx Success or failure iscommon sense for military. xxx I think everyone is familiar with the famoussaying. Don’t you think such will be the case with our study? In exams, onecannot be xxx never-defeated generalxxx . Even though one will be very good ineveryday study, he cannot succeed in every exam sometimes. We can get proof fromthe fact that the very best one we call xxxNumber One Scholarxxx in the entranceexams for college and ordinary middle school and specialized secondary schoolover the years is not eminent above all others nor top student in everystudy.
As a matter of fact, xxxhigh marksxxx and xxxabilityxxx are not unified. Some timeago, a new phrase xxx high marks but poor competencexxx came into being. Once Ihappened to meet such a teacher as this .It is said that the teacher justgraduated from a far-famed key university. But his teaching result is much lessthan that of the one who just graduated from a not-well-renowned college. Whenlecturing, the teacher only repeated what the text-books says, which was verydull so the his students’ interest in learning was not aroused. His teaching wasshort of unity of teaching and learning. At present there is a fact that we knowa few brilliant and top college graduates are not qualified for their posts. Thereason for it may be lack of the ability to combine knowledge learnt from bookswith pragmatics in their work. Students of this kind will be successful in everyexam but they will be able to use freely their knowledge in their posts. Don’tyou think it waste training such persons for the country?
To sum up from the above, I can say marks are not absolutely authoritativefor some. If we neglect training and developing the students’ ability andcompetence and if we only seek for the high marks, we will be absolutely should take an objective attitude towards the marks. Neither should weneglect them nor should we overvalue them like a God.
If you put a buzzard in a pen six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
如果把一只秃鹫放在一个6~8*方英尺的无顶围栏里,这只大鸟尽管会飞,也绝对会成为这栏中之囚。原因是秃鹫从地面起飞前总要先助跑10~12英尺的距离。这是它的习惯,如果没有了足够的助跑空间,它甚至不会尝试去飞,只会终身困囿于一个无顶的小囚笼中。
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
晚上飞来飞去的普通的蝙蝠,本是一种在空中极其敏捷的动物,但却无法在*地上起飞。如果被放在地板或*坦的地面上,它就只会无助地挪动,毫无疑问这样很痛苦。除非它到了稍高的位置,有了落差,才可以立刻闪电般地起飞。
A bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
一只大黄蜂如果掉进了一个敞口*底玻璃杯里,除非有人把它拿出来,否则它就会一直呆在里边直到死去。它永远不知道可以从杯口逃出,只坚持试图从杯底的四壁寻找出路。它会在根本不存在出口的地方寻找出路,直到彻底毁了自己。
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
其实在很多方面,很多人也像秃鹫、蝙蝠和大黄蜂一样,使尽浑身解数试图解决问题、克服挫折,却没有意识到解决之道就在正上方。
I’m very glad to make a speech here! I’d like to tell you something about water saving.
As we know, nearly 75% of the Earth surface is covered with water, But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the rest 3%, but most of it has been polluted.
There are more than 400 cities poor with water in China. Millions of people don’t have enough water for drinking, many of them die because of lack of water . There are many big factories in China. They put the dirty and poisonous water in the river, such as the Yellow River, the Chang Jiang River, the Yangtze River and so on. It pollutes the river and makes people have many strange diseases. Many people don’t know how important the water is. They often think: I pay for the water I used, it’s none of others business. How foolish and how selfish the thought is. They don’t turn off the tap when they finish washing their hands in the public toilet because the water is free-paying. Most of the students in the university use big basins of water to wash fruits . Because they have paid a lot for the room fee. Some of the middle school students use the water for drinking to play jokes on others just for fun. But who has thought about our life in the future? Who has thought about the people without water? Who has thought about the future of the world?
Why don’t people know how to save it until we have lost it? Why don’t people know how important the water is until the last drop of water becomes our tears? Let’s save the water, for you, for me , for the future.
Reuse the water which you wash the fruits to clean the toilets. Reuse the water which you wash your face to clean the floor and furniture. Reuse the water which you wash the rice to water the flowers. I think it’s the good way to save water. It not only saves water but also saves money.
The water is just like our blood. To save water is to save our lives. Let’s keep every drop of water, for the people who don’t have enough water for drinking, for ourselves, for our children and children’s children。
the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mother's day and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.
一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天,年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟,这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。
she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mother's day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parents'back door.
她那天早上给母亲打去电话,祝母亲节日愉快。随后,她的母亲向她提起,因为春天已经来临,所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿,年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。
later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. xxxi know where we can find you all you want, xxxhe said. xxxget the kids and c'mon. xxx
so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce:sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.
后来,她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时,他突然从椅子上跃起。xxx我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西,xxx他说,xxx带上孩子,走吧。xxx
于是,他们就出发了,驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上,那种天气只有5月中旬才会有:闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋,穿过废弃的苹果园,来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓 ?
where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasn't a lilac bush in sight.
xxxcome with me , xxxthe man said. xxxover that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebody's farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. i'm sure he won't mind if we pick a few lilacs. xxx
他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。
xxx随我来,xxx那个男人说,xxx翻过那座小山,有个老地窖,几年前是一个人的农场,四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信,要是我们采几束紫丁香,他不会介意。xxx
before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top.
there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.
还没等他们到达半山腰,紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是,孩子们开始奔跑。不久,那位母亲也开始跑起来,直至到达山顶。
那里,远离了过往司机的视野,避开了纷扰的文明世界,高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束,几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛,把脸埋在鲜花中,啜饮着芳香,陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。
while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husband's pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure.
finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.
在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿,那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝,那儿挑一束,然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙,像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。
然而,他们终于还是返回了汽车,走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停,那个男人驾着车,那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑,她周围放满了鲜花,眼睛里充满着向往。
when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, xxxstop the car. stop right here!xxx
the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.
当他们离家不足3英里时,她突然向丈夫大声喊道:xxx停车,就在这里停车!xxx
那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么,女人就已经下了车,匆匆走向附近的草坡,怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院,因为这是一个美丽的春日,所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。
the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.
那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头,只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里,独自一人,低着头,背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆,将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头,露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿,都兴高采烈。随后,那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时,坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手,手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。
xxxmom, xxxthe kids asked, xxxwho was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebody's mother?xxxthe mother said she didn't know the old woman. but it was mother's day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldn't be cheered by flowers?xxxbesides, xxxshe added, xxxi have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did. xxx
this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.
xxx妈妈,xxx孩子们问,xxx那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?xxx他们的母亲说,她不认识那个老太太,但今天是母亲节,她看起来是那么孤独,而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。xxx再说,xxx她补充道,xxx我拥有你们,而且我还有自己的母亲,即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。xxx
孩子们得到了满意的答案,但她的丈夫却没有。第二天,他买了半打紫丁香幼苗,栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后,每隔一段时间,他就会增加一些。
Good afternoon, everybody. I just want to say a few words about the landmark vote that the House of Representatives is poised to(随时准备着) take today -- a vote that can bring us one step closer to making real the promise of quality, affordable(支付得起) health care for the American people.
