　　我的女兒從科威特來到英格蘭，她在阿拉伯的學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)。那是所阿拉伯中學(xué)。在學(xué)校里，她得把這些知識翻譯成英文，而她在班上卻能在這些學(xué)科上拿到最好的成績。這告訴我們，當(dāng)外籍學(xué)生來找我們，我們可能無法針對他們所知道的給予贊賞，因為那是來自于他們母語的知識。當(dāng)一個語言消失時，我們不知道還有什么也會一并失去。
　　This is I donamp。39。t know if you saw it on CNN recently they gave the Heroes Award to a young Kenyan shepherd boy who couldnamp。39。t study at night in his village like all the village children,because the kerosene lamp, it had smoke and it damaged his eyes. And anyway, there was never enough kerosene, because what does a dollar a day buy for you? So he invented a costfree solar lamp. And now the children in his village get the same grades at school as the children who have electricity at home. (Applause) When he received his award, he said these lovely words: amp。quot。The children can lead Africa from what it is today, a dark continent, to a light continent.amp。quot。 A simple idea, but it could have such farreaching consequences.
　　這是我不知道各位有沒有看最近的CNN他們將一座英雄獎授予一位年輕的肯亞牧童。在他住的村莊里，他和村里其它的孩童一樣無法在夜晚讀書，因為煤油燈產(chǎn)生的煙霧會弄傷他的眼睛。再說，他也沒有足夠的煤油。畢竟，每天只有一塊美金的收入，你還能買什么?所以他發(fā)明了不需成本的太陽能燈?，F(xiàn)在他們村里的孩子們的成績都和那些家里有電的孩子相同(掌聲)。當(dāng)他接受獎勵時，說了下面這句話：amp。quot。這些孩子可以帶領(lǐng)非洲這塊黑暗大陸迎向光明amp。quot。一個簡單的想法，卻有著深遠(yuǎn)的影響。
　　People who have no light, whether itamp。39。s physical or metaphorical, cannot pass our exams, and we can never know what they know. Let us not keep them and ourselves in the dark. Let us celebrate diversity. Mind your language. Use it to spread great ideas.
　　沒有”。光”。的人。無論具體來說，還是抽象來說，都無法通過我們的測驗。我們也無法了解他們擁有的知識。別讓他們和我們自己都身處在黑暗里，讓我們一同為多元性歡呼!關(guān)注你自己的語言，用它來宣揚(yáng)偉大的想法。
　　Thank you very much.
　　非常謝謝各位。
關(guān)于堅持的英語演講稿（中英文對照）篇3　　Keep Your Direction 堅持你的方向
　　What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
　　On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overe obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
　　Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
　　You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
　　翻譯：
　　如果失敗了你會怎么做?很多人可能會選擇放棄。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是堅持你的方向和目標(biāo)。
　　在通往成功的路上，你必須堅持你的方向。它就像一盞燈，在黑暗中為你指路，幫助你度過難關(guān)。否則，你很容易就會迷失方向或猶豫不前。
　　方向意味著目標(biāo)。人生如果沒有目標(biāo)，將一事無成。
　　你可以試著把你的目標(biāo)寫在紙上，并制定實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的計劃。這樣，你就會懂得如何合理安排時間，如何正確地支配時間。而且你還要有這樣的信念：只要你一直堅持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。
