名人演讲稿英语 名人稿英语篇一：名人英语演讲稿 名人英语演讲稿 Tribute to Diana 致戴安娜查尔斯斯宾塞 Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity. All over the world, a standard bearer for the right of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcend nationality, someone with a natural nobility who was classless. 在全世界，戴安娜是同情心、责任心、风度和美丽的化身，是无私和人道的象征，是维护真正被践踏的权益的旗手，是一个超越国界的英国女孩，是一个带有自然的高贵气质的人，是一个不分阶层的人。 This is the text of Earl Spencer s tribute to his sister at her funeral. There is some very deep, powerful and heartfelt sentiment. Would that those at whom it is aimed would take heed. The versions posted on several news services had minor errors. This is precisely as it was deliverd. I stand before you today the representative of a family in grief, in a country in mourning before a world in shock. We are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to Diana but rather in our need to do so. For such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her, feel that they, too, lost someone close to them in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is a more remarkable tribute to Diana than I can ever hope to offer her today. Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcended nationality, someone with a natural nobility who was classless, who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic. Today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life. We will all feel cheated, always, that you were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all. Only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult. We have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward. There is a temptation to rush to canonize your memory. There is no need to do so. You stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen as a saint. Indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humor with the laugh that bent you double, your joy for life transmitted wherever you took your smile, and the sparkle in those unforgettable eyes, your boundless energy which you could barely contain. But your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely. This is what underpinned all your wonderful attributes. And if we look to analyze what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive feel for what was really important in all our lives. Without your God-given sensitivity, we would be immersed in greater ignorance at the anguish of AIDS and HIV sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation of lepers, the random destruction of land mines. Diana explained to me once that it was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with her constituency of the rejected. And here we come to another truth about her. For all the status, the glamour, the applause, Diana remained throughout a very insecure person at heart, almost childlike in her desire to do good for others so she could release herself from deep feelings of unworthiness of which her eating disorders were merely a symptom. The world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her vulnerability, whilst admiring her for her honesty. The last time I saw Diana was on July the first, her birthday, in London, when typically she was not taking time to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honor at a fund-raising charity evening. She sparkled of course, but I would rather cherish the days I spent with her in March when she came to visit me and my children in our home in South Africa. I am proud of the fact that apart from when she was on public display meeting President Mandela, we managed to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting a single picture of her. That meant a lot to her. These were days I will always treasure. It was as if we d been transported back to our childhood, when we spent such an enormous amount of time together, the two youngest in the family. Fundamentally she hadn t changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our parents homes with me at weekends. It is a tribute to her level-headedness and strength that despite the most bizarre life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact, true to herself. There is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this time. She talkedendlessly of getting away from England, mainly because of the treatment she received at the hands of the newspapers. I don t think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down. It is baffling. My own, and only, explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest was this; that a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age. She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys William and Harry from a similar fate. And I do this here, Diana, on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair. Beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men, so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned. We fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born, and will always respect and encourage them in their royal role. But we, like you, recognize the need for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible, to arm them spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. I know you would have expected nothing less from us. William and Harry, we all care desperately for you today. We are all chewed up with sadness at the loss of a woman who wasn t even our mother. How great your suffering is we cannot even imagine. I would like to end by thanking God for the small mercies he has shown us at this dreadful time; for taking Diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she had joy in her private life. Above all, we give thanks for the life of a woman I am so proud to be able to call my sister: the unique the complex, the extraordinary and irreplaceable Diana, whose beauty, both internal and external, will never be extinguished from our minds.名人演讲稿英语篇二：十大名人英语演讲稿精选十大名人英语演讲稿精选 1. Steve Jobs 史蒂芬乔布斯CEO of Apple Computers 苹果电脑CEOStanford University 斯坦福大学June 12, 2005 2005年6月12日Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.Your time is limited, so don t waste it living someone else s life. Don t be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people s thinking. Don t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary。记着你总会死去，这是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳办法。赤条条来去无牵挂，还有什么理由不随你的心?!你的时间是有限的，因此不要把时间浪费在过别人的生活上。不要被教条所困使自己的生活受限于他人的思想成果。不要让他人的淹没了你自己内心的声音。最重要的是，要有勇气跟随你的内心与直觉，它们好歹已经知道你真正想让自己成为什么。其他的，都是次要的。 2. David Foster Wallace Novelist 小说家Kenyon College 肯尼恩学院May 21, 2005 2005年5月21日There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys. How s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”. simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:“This is water。”“This is water。”It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out。 有两条小鱼一起在水里游，碰到一条老鱼迎面游过来。老鱼向他们点点头，并说:“早上好，孩子们。水怎么样?”这两条小鱼继续往前游了一会儿后，其中一条小鱼实在忍不住了，看了一下另一条小鱼，问道:“水到底是什么东西?”简单的意识;对我们生活中如此真实、如此必不可少、无处不在、无时不在的事物的意识，需要我们一遍一遍地提醒自己:“这是 水。”“这是水。”天天都保持意识清醒而鲜活，在成人世界中做到这点，是不可想象地难。 3. Michael Uslan 迈克尔奥斯兰Movie Producer 电影制片人Indiana University 印第安纳大学May 06, 2006 2006年5月6日You must believe in yourself and in your work. When our first Batman movie broke all those box-office records, I received a phone call from that United Artists exec who, years before, had told me I was out of my mind. Now he said, “Michael, I m just calling to congratulate you on the success of Batman. I always said you were a visionary。” You see the point here don t believe them when they tell you how bad you are or how terrible your ideas are, but also, don t believe them when they tell you how wonderful you are and how great your ideas are. Just believe in yourself and you ll do just fine. And, oh yes, don t then forget to market yourself and your ideas. Use both sides of your brain.You must have a high threshold for frustration. Take it from the guy who was turned down by every studio in Hollywood. You must knock on doors until your knuckles bleed. Doors will slam in your face. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again. It s the only way to achieve your goals in life。 你必须相信你自己，对自己的工作充满信心。当我们的第一部电影蝙蝠侠创下史无前例的票房纪录时，我接到了艺术家联合会会长的电话，他在数年之前曾说我疯了。如今他说:“迈克尔，我给你打电话祝贺蝙蝠侠的成功。我总说你是一位有远见的人。”你看，关键在这里，当他们说你有多差，你的想法有多糟的时候，不要信他们的话，同时，当他们告诉你你有多么了不起，你的想法多美妙时，也不要相信他们。你就只相信你自己，这样你就能做好。还有，那就是，不要忘记推销你自己和你的想法。左右大脑你都得用。要能经受得住挫败。这是被好莱坞每一家制片厂拒绝过的人的经验。你必须去敲一扇扇的门，直到指关节流血。大门会在你面前砰然关上，你必须重振旗鼓，弹去身上的灰尘，再敲下一扇门。这是实现你人生目标的唯一办法。 4. Woody Hayes 伍迪海耶斯College Fooball Coach 大学橄榄球教练Ohio State University 俄亥俄州立大学May 14, 1986 1986年5月14日In football we always said that the other team couldn t beat us. We had to be sure that we didn t beat ourselves. And thats what people have to do, too make sure they don t beat themselves. you ll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never。 在橄榄球场上，我们总是说其他队战胜不了我们。我们必须做到不把自己打垮。所有人也都必须这么做，确保自己不要被自己打垮。你会发现，来得容易的东西总是一文不值。事实上，我从来没有看到哪位橄榄球运动员是带着微笑完成阻截的。从来没有。 5. Bradley Whitford 布兰德利惠特福德Actor 演员University Wisconsin - Madison 威斯康辛大学麦迪逊分校May 17, 2006 2006年5月17日Number One: Fall in love with the process and theresults will follow.Number Two: Do your work.Number Three: Once you re prepared, throw your preparation in the trash.Number Four: You are capable of more than you think.Number Five: Listen.Number Six: Take action.You have a choice. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life. Action is the antidote to apathy and cynicism and despair。 第一，爱上过程，结果自然会来。第二，做你的事。第三，一旦准备好，就付诸行动。第四，你能做的，超出了你的想象。第五，聆听。第六，采取行动。你有一个选择。要么你成为环境的被动受害者，要么你主动成为自己生活的英雄。行动可以消除冷漠、玩世不恭与绝望。 6. Jerry Zucker 杰瑞朱克Director, movie producer 导演、电影制片人University of Wisconsin 威斯康辛大学May 17, 2003 2003年5月17日It doesn t matter whether your dream came true if you spent your whole life sleeping.Ask yourself one question: If I didn t have to do it perfectly, what would I try?Nobody else is paying as much attention to your failures as you are. You re the only one who is obsessed with the importance of your own life. To everyone else, it s just a blip on the radar screen, so just move on。 如果你一生都在睡觉，你的梦想是否实现就无关紧要了。问你自己一个问题:如果我不是必须做得完美，那我还努力什么呢?没有人会像你自己那样对自己的失败那么在意。你是唯一一个能追求自己的生活意义的人。对于其他所有人来说，你只是雷达荧光屏上的一个光点。所以，只管前行吧。名人演讲稿英语篇三：名人励志英语演讲稿 名人英文励志演讲稿 新一代大学英语四六级领军人物，英语专家、文化学者、出版人、策划人，“振宇英语” 创始人，当当网外语图书热门作者。外语教学与研究出版社、北京航空航天大学出版社、大连理工大学出版社、海豚出版社、 首都师范大学出版社、中国宇航出版社等国内一流出版社“振宇英语”丛书主编。外研社荣 誉作者、当当网外语图书热门作者。曾任国家级媒体记者、翻译、电台英语节目主持人、“振宇英语”专栏撰稿人、大学英语 系主任、大学英语专业特聘专家教授。 序言 对于英语学习者来说，多听多看多练英语演讲是学地道英语的最佳有效途径之一，也是 训练语音语调最有效的辅助手段。你不用担心这些演讲是否有语法问题，也不用担心用词是 否准确，表达是否到位。因为一些名人的演讲稿通常是字斟句酌精心完成的。此外，通过演 讲学英语还可以潜移默化地帮助自己提升对英文的驾驭能力，增强英语的语感和美感。 本书精选了19篇具有代表性的名人的英语演讲。这些名人或是国家领袖，或是关心民权 民生的政治人物，或是创造财富的精英，或是用文字抒发情怀的作家记者，或是演艺界 的娱乐名人。他们都在自己的领域里作出了杰出的贡献。他们思想深刻，见解独到，注定是 站在时代前列的人。 这些名人的演讲充满了智慧，富含启迪。它们或是结合自身经历立足于个人发展的谆谆 教诲，像亚马逊ceo杰夫贝索斯在普林斯顿大学演讲，他讲了自己创业的故事，以此鼓励 毕业生：未来掌握在自己的手中，追寻自己的梦 想，慎重选择;或是号召民众面对困难迎难而上，像美国第32任总统富兰克林罗斯福， 他就任于美国经济大萧条时期，国内民生凋敝，萎靡不振，他告诉大家，我们惟一害怕的是 害怕本身，展示了带领民众走出低谷的豪情;或者充满人文关怀，如美国著名作家威廉福克 纳，站在人类精神的高度，勉励作家文人心中时时充满爱、怜悯、同情和牺牲的精神;或是显 示了追求自由平等的决心，如马钉路德金和南非总统曼德拉，他们在演讲中都表达了誓死 捍卫民-主和自由的决心;或是显示了对家庭的爱，并把这种爱升华为“老吾老，以及人之老;
