Emma Watson演讲稿HeForShe中英文
Your Excellencies, UN secretary general, president of the general assembly, executive director of UN Women, and distinguished guests. Today, we are launching a campaign called HeForShe. I'm reaching out to you because we need your help. We want to end gender inequality and to do this, we need everyone involved. This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN. We want to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change and we don't just want to talk about it. We want to try and make sure that it's tangible. I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women six months ago and the more I've spoken about feminism, the more I have realized the fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain it is that this has to stop. For the record, feminism, by definition, is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes. I started questioning gender-based assumptions a long time ago. When I was 8, I was confused being called "bossy" because I wanted to direct the plays that we would put on for our parents. but the boys were not. When at 14, I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media When at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of their beloved sports teams because they didn't want to appear "muscley". When at 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings. I decided that I was a feminist. And this seems uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Apparently, I'm among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men unattractive, even. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am from Britain. And I think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. (Applause) I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and the decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. No country in the world can yet say that they have achieve gender equality.
青春励志英文演讲稿(精选多篇)
青春励志英文演讲稿(精选多篇) 尊敬的老师们、同学们： 大家好! 青春是什么，难道是携子之手，浪漫而温馨地漫步于桃红柳绿之中吗难道是把头发染成五颜六色，在大街上旁若无人地大跳千奇百怪的街舞吗难道是无休止地泡吧，疯狂地蹦迪吗有些人一直在成长的十字路口徘徊。但是，我要问：难道青春仅仅就只剩下这些了吗青春可以是远大的志向和崇高的理想;青春还可以是面对峰回路转，霹雳斩棘，举步探索的毅力。 青春不仅仅是一声声的赞美，它更是拥有使命并为之奋斗不息的源泉。因为生命的光环一个个被践踏的躯体赋予
了新的灵魂;因为青春的绚丽，一个个飞舞的思绪会聚成一首悲壮的挽歌。 时光的老人又一次送来了五月，迎来了又一个“五四”青年节。在这阳光灿烂，安宁详和的幸福生活之时，我不禁想起了那些曾为中华民族的民主，科学，独立而抛头颅洒热血的青年们，是他们，在民族遭受屈辱的时刻挺身而出，以力挽狂澜之势救黎民于苦难。在斗争中，青年们敢于直面惨淡的人生，敢于正视淋漓的鲜血，他们以燃烧的激情和鲜血凝聚成精神的火炬，点燃了未来。这种青春是多么绚丽夺目呀，这种使命是多么震撼人心啊! 青春是美好的，没有使命感的青春便是贫血的青春。青年是祖国的未来，是民族的希望。在任何一个时代，青年都是社会上最富有朝气最富有创造性，最富有生命力的群体。我们要怎样才能实践自己肩负的历史使命，怎么样才能使自己的青春光彩照人呢 放眼看吧，在我们社会主义现代化
建设的征途中，涌现出许多新时代青年的楷模。从伟大的共产主义战士雷锋到以服务祖国需要为乐的王杰，从自学成才的张海迪到科技创新的秦文贵……他们在平凡的岗位上，用五四精神诠释了青春的使命!演绎了一幕幕惊天动地的话剧!谱写了一曲曲壮丽雄浑的青春赞歌! 作为新世纪的我们，要树立远大的理想，人的一生只能享受一次青春，当一个人在年轻是就把自己的人生与人民的事业紧紧相连，他所创造的就是永恒的青春。我们要坚持勤奋学习，立志成才。二十一世纪，信息交流日益广泛，知识更新大大加快。形势逼人自强。催人奋进。我们要跟上时代步伐，更好的为现代化建设贡献力量就必须学习学习再学习，打下坚实的知识功底。在学习中，还要善于创新，善于实践，善于把所学的知识运用到改造主观世界客观世界活动中去，不断成才。同时我们应树立正确的世界观，人生观，价值观，努

Since the early nineties, many studies have been performed to examine the incidence of adverse events, with reported incidence rates ranging from 3 to 17% of all hospital admissions.

演讲稿——女权 (1)
五十三年前，马丁路德金在林肯纪念堂前大声高呼我有一个梦想，他希冀着人权的平等。然而时至今日，我们仍然受到人权不平等的迫害，不管是女人，还是男人。所以，今天，我，要站在这里，再次向你们发出诚挚地呼唤——我有一个梦想，愿男女不同性别真正的人权平等，愿所有人一起来关注女权主义。 是的，今天，我要站在这，以一个男性的身份，向你们呼吁女权主义。是的，我是一名女权主义者，但我向来不太愿这么称呼自己，因为“女权”这两个字太有误导性了，如果一定要我自己选个词，我会叫自己“人权主义者”。因为不知道有多少人知道女权主义其实指的是男性与女性应该拥有平等权利和机会，它是性别间政治，经济和社会平等的理论。它既不仇视男性，也不是盲目太高女性，在这样的一个男权社会中，将这样一个理论称为女权主义其本身就值得深思。 所以我们呼唤女权主义，呼唤女性应该拥有和男性平等的权利和义务，女性应该和男性拥有同样多的就业机会，女性在应聘时应该没有“面容姣好”这一要求，用人单位应该给予同样工作的男女以同等的薪资。 所以我们呼唤女权主义，呼唤每个人平等的权利，不让个人的特点和能力被性别标签所掩盖，不论男女，都不会被他的染色体来决定他的命运，爱好，性格，特长，成就，而是让我们自己逐渐发现和获得。 再来看看现实生活中发生的事儿吧，和颐酒店女生遇袭的事件发生后，竟然有很多人评论称称女孩子不应该单独出门，女孩子应该保护好自己。多么可怕的逻辑，多么荒谬的建议啊，难道我们要让社会的错全部由女性来承担么？ 想想吧，这就是赤裸裸的不平等，这就是男权社会下的文化现象，这就是男权社会下对于女性权利的漠视和歧视。 男生们，不要袖手旁观，我希望你们也能同我一样关注女权主义，其一，我们男生所最关心的人中，至少有百分之50%都将会是女性，其次，不知道在场的男生们是否想过？男生，同样是男权文化和社会规则的受害者，男权文化和性别刻板印象在束缚女性的同时也绑架了男性。 你是否觉得男人的压力太大不公平？你是否觉得将来逼你买房买车的丈母娘是最可怕的生物？你是否担忧过社会中的女性往往太物质只看重金钱？你是否苦恼自己不擅长和女性交流，或者觉得女生为什么有话不直说？你是否因为选了文科而背很多理科男的所瞧不起？ 如果你有过以上疑问，希望现状能有所改变，那么你就已经同意了女权主义的许多基本观点了。 而以上这些还仅仅只是男性可能会意识到自我意识到的受害表现。还有很多男性很难意识到但是切实存在的伤害。 是，社会分工是必要的，男性与女性意味着很多特质的普遍性规律，但是时至今日，我们还要采取如此原始的肤浅的分工方式么？难道不应该按照个人能力和特点，谁适合睡谁上，不管性别。 现代女性仍然裹着一层看不见的裹脚布——这种无形的标签与人权歧视才是最可怕的 最后，借用艾玛沃特森的演讲的最后： I am inviting you to step forward, to be seen to speak up , to be the "he" for "she". And to ask yourself if not m e, who? If not now, when?

Thank you, prof. …. My name is ….. I’m from ….. I am very pleased to be here to join this forum. The topic of my presentation is properties of rapid construction materials for soil pavement of field airfield. As is shown in the picture, the main parts of my research are about soil pavement. My presentation will include these four parts: First, some background information about this research; second, the main work we have done; third, some conclusions we have got and the last: innovation and presentation of our published papers. Why I choose this item? I think it can be illustrated from the following four parts. First, the existing quantity of airfields is still not sufficient and the airfields have many shortcomings especially in war time. Second, the complementary facilities, such as highway runways are far less than airfields, however, have more weakness. Third, a certain amount of field airfield is quite necessary considering some emergencies such as rescue and disaster relief. Forth, the field airfield can fill the void of airfield and they can be combined to be airfield network. The meaning and aim of this research contains three parts. Fast, convenient and validity, fast means the field airfield must be constructed
女权主义对英语的影响
:性别歧视是英语及其它许多语言中普遍存在的问题,近数十年来越来越引起女权主义者的不满和抗争,也引起一些有识之士的关注。本文通过对英语语言中性别歧视现象的剖析,探讨了女权运动对英语语言文化的影响,论述了女权主义者为争取妇女的平等地位所做出的贡献。 1英语语言文化中的性别歧视 1 . 1男尊女卑的宗教思想 在英语国家,重男轻女,男尊女卑的偏见长期存在,这与英语国家社会长期处在父权制的统治之下密切相关。在基督教盛行的英美社会中,女性从属地位更是从“ 精神法典” 角度被固定下来。在《圣经》的创世篇中,上帝首先创造了男性———亚当,亚当从此便被看成是“ 人类的始祖” 。动物与女人是作为男人的帮手被创造出来。上帝把所创造出来的各种生物的命名权交给了亚当,从此,用语言符号来界定各种植物、动物等的权力便落在了男人的手中。上帝创造性别的手段也很奇特:他在亚当熟睡后从亚当身上取下一根肋骨,创造出了夏娃。既然女性是男性的骨中骨、肉中肉,既然她只是作为男人的帮手来到这个世界上,那么她对男性的从属似乎便成了上帝的意志。英语中泛指人时可用he或man而不用woman,专指性别的词被称为Adam2rib words,也是从这里来的。两百多年前,托马斯?杰佛逊( Thomas Jeffers on)在《独立宣言》(The Declarati on of I ndependence)中写道:“We hold thesetruths t o be self2 evident, that allmen are created equal . . . ” ,毫无疑问,这里的men泛指所有的人,包括men和women。这种状况表明男性是这个世界的主宰,忽略了女性角色的存在。 1 . 2英语语义变化中的性别歧视 man与woman语义的发展也不对称。man可指“有身份、有地位的人” 或“ 重要人物” ,而对应的woman则不具有。man在使用中含有“ 勇气” 、“坚强的毅力” 、“控制” 、“主宰”之意,这在动词化的man中尤为明显。如:①Well, Imustman it out . ( t o bear up manfully)②Happy is your soul if Christ man the house . . . and com2mand it .Collins English Dicti onary在对woman解释时没有一条释义可以表明woman具有“ 重要人物” 之意。往往提起woman,就一定“ 缺乏勇气” ,“胆小如鼠” 。在英语中woman不仅可指“ 女佣人” 和“情妇” ,甚至可指“妓女”(woman of thestreet)。这种语义的贬义化也发生在其他与男性相对应的性别词上。例如:①king国王; queen王后;在男性同性恋中扮演性别角色的同性恋者(male homosexualwho acts like a woman)②master男主人;mistress女主人;情妇③mister先生;madame女士;鸨母指代女性性别的词在其语义上的发展上逐渐染上淫秽或其他消极语义,而指代男性性别的词却没有沿着同样的方向发展。这样的例子在英语中十分常见,再以mother为例:mother虽具有“母亲” 这一高尚的语义,却也没有避免贬义化。Mother可用来指“下层社会的上了年纪的妇女” ,而Shakes peare 《李尔王》中Mother成了“ 歇斯底里” ( hysteria)的代名词。如Oh how thisMother s wels up t oward my heart! 在英语中还保存着习语“the fits of the mother” 。尽管男人似乎比女人更易发脾气。另一方面,相反, father仍然保留“ 父亲”的尊严,还可用来指“ 有社会地位的长者” 。[ 2 ]性别歧视不仅表现在语义的变化中,它也表现在词的选择和搭配之中。在英语中有些词可以去形容男子,对女人则不行,有一些专门的词去修饰女人,而它们无不带有歧视的意义。如:强有力的男人可用charismatic (具有超凡魄力的)修饰,对强有力的女人则用另外一词“domineering (盛气凌人的) ” ;固执的男人用的是strong willed (意志坚强的) ,固执的女人则用“stubborn (执拗的) ” ;幽默的男人用的是“witty (机智的) ” ,对女人则说“sarcastic (好挖苦人的) ” ;爱唠叨的男人用“articulate (表达力强的) ” ,对女人用“garrul ous” (喋喋不休的)。语言不仅反映人们的社会观念及成见,而且还传播、记录这种观点和成见。在历史上,社会地位、身份显赫的都是男人。干比较低劣工作的都是女人。p r ofessi onal的词义演变说明了这一点。当它与不同的性别连用时,语义也不同。①He is a p r o .他是专业人员。(p r ofessi onal)She is a p r o .她是妓女。(p rostitute)这种同义语义场中的性别用词多为贬义。还可以从以下数例中得到证实。②He is a tramp.他是个
