在亿万孩子茁壮成长中，是谁告诉他们如何做人是谁给他们传输知识是谁对他们如同对自己的孩子一般不用说了，那就是有被称为“人类灵魂工程师”的——老师。为了你们的成长，老师们含辛茹苦，煞费苦心。
曾经，你是一棵嫩绿的芽儿，大树为你遮阴挡雨，微风为你送来清凉，然而，沐浴在老师智慧的阳光里，茁壮成长在老师知识的土地上，你们的.生活才慢慢变得缤纷、绚丽。
是老师渊博的知识，让同学们们感受文明与希望;是老师宽广的胸怀，让大家懂得宽容与忍让;是老师慈善的目光，让你们由懦弱变得坚强。当同学们遇到挫折灰心丧气时，是老师在你们心田播种希望;当你们取得成功一帆风顺时，是老师及时开出“骄兵必败”的良方。老师总是笑语盈盈，让大家充满力量。即使偶尔愠怒的目光，也让你们感到亲切与盼望。
老师是多么伟大。有人把老师比做水，说她滋润了一片幼苗;有人把老师比做蜡烛，说她燃烧了自己照亮了别人;还有人把老师比做辛勤的园丁，说她用毕生的心血精心得浇灌着你们这些祖国的花朵。日升日落，老师挥洒着血汗，寒冬酷暑，老师永远满腔热情，指引着你们不断前进。在将来，无论你会成为挺拔的乔木，还是低矮的灌木，都将会用生命的全部向老师致敬。在此，对于那些不尊重老师的学生，你们应当反省一下自己，应当给老师送上最虔诚的祝福与最真挚的谢意。

幸福并不在于单纯的占有金钱，幸福还在于取得成功后的喜悦，在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励，而去疯狂追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些黯淡的日子能使我们认识到，我们真正的使命不是要别人侍奉，而是要为自己和同胞们服务的话，那么，我们付出的代价是完全值得的。
敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们：
belovedteacher,dearstudents:
你们好，今天我演讲的题目是：与文明同行，创和谐校园。
youaregood,thetopicofmyspeechtodayis:andcivilizationpeers,creatingaharmoniouscampus.
文明素来是中华民族代代相传的传统美德，作为新时代的接班人，我们要继承传统、倡导文明、讲究礼仪、树立新风。
civilizationisalwaysthetraditionalvirtuesofthechinesenationbehandeddownfromagetoage,asaneweraofsuccessors,wemustinheritthetradition,advocateofcivilization,courtesy,establishingnewpractice.
中国是一个有着五千年历史的文明古国，中华民族素来是一个温文尔雅、见义勇为、谦恭礼让的文明之邦。华夏儿女的举手投足，音容笑貌无一不体现一个人的气质与素养。荀子云：不守礼无以立，人无礼则不生，事无礼则不成，目无礼则不宁。文明礼仪是我们学习的根基，是我们健康成长的臂膀。

Mr.President,Mr.Speaker,MembersoftheCongressoftheUnitedStates:
ThegravityofthesituationwhichconfrontstheworldtodaynecessitatesmyappearancebeforeajointsessionoftheCongress.Theforeignpolicyandthenationalsecurityofthiscountryareinvolved.Oneaspectofthepresentsituation,whichIpresenttoyouatthistimeforyourconsiderationanddecision,concernsGreeceandTurkey.TheUnitedStateshasreceivedfromtheGreekGovernmentanurgentappealforfinancialandeconomicassistance.PreliminaryreportsfromtheAmericanEconomicMissionnowinGreeceandreportsfromtheAmericanAmbassadorinGreececorroboratethestatementoftheGreekGovernmentthatassistanceisimperativeifGreeceistosurviveasafreenation.
IdonotbelievethattheAmericanpeopleandtheCongresswishtoturnadeafeartotheappealoftheGreekGovernment.Greeceisnotarichcountry.LackofsufficientnaturalresourceshasalwaysforcedtheGreekpeopletoworkhardtomakebothendsmeet.Since1940,thisindustrious,peacelovingcountryhassufferedinvasion,fouryearsofcruelenemyoccupation,andbitterinternalstrife.
WhenforcesofliberationenteredGreecetheyfoundthattheretreatingGermanshaddestroyedvirtuallyalltherailways,roads,portfacilities,communications,andmerchantmarine.Morethanathousandvillageshadbeenburned.Eighty-fivepercentofthechildrenweretubercular.Livestock,poultry,anddraftanimalshadalmostdisappeared.Inflationhadwipedoutpracticallyallsavings.Asaresultofthesetragicconditions,amilitantminority,exploitinghumanwantandmisery,wasabletocreatepoliticalchaoswhich,untilnow,hasmadeeconomicrecoveryimpossible.

WehaveconsideredhowtheUnitedNationsmightassistinthiscrisis.Butthesituationisanurgentone,requiringimmediateaction,andtheUnitedNationsanditsrelatedorganizationsarenotinapositiontoextendhelpofthekindthatisrequired.

TheGreekGovernmenthasbeenoperatinginanatmosphereofchaosandextremism.Ithasmademistakes.TheextensionofaidbythiscountrydoesnotmeanthattheUnitedStatescondoneseverythingthattheGreekGovernmenthasdoneorwilldo.Wehavecondemnedinthepast,andwecondemnnow,extremistmeasuresoftherightortheleft.Wehaveinthepastadvisedtolerance,andweadvisetolerancenow.
Greek'sneighbor,Turkey,alsodeservesourattention.ThefutureofTurkey,asanindependentandeconomicallysoundstate,isclearlynolessimportanttothefreedom-lovingpeoplesoftheworldthanthefutureofGreece.ThecircumstancesinwhichTurkeyfindsitselftodayareconsiderablydifferentfromthoseofGreece.TurkeyhasbeensparedthedisastersthathavebesetGreece.Andduringthewar,theUnitedStatesandGreatBritainfurnishedTurkeywithmaterialaid.
Nevertheless,Turkeynowneedsoursupport.Sincethewar,TurkeyhassoughtfinancialassistancefromGreatBritainandtheUnitedStatesforthepurposeofeffectingthatmodernizationnecessaryforthemaintenanceofitsnationalintegrity.ThatintegrityisessentialtothepreservationoforderintheMiddleEast.TheBritishgovernmenthasinformedusthat,owingtoitsowndifficulties,itcannolongerextendfinancialoreconomicaidtoTurkey.AsinthecaseofGreece,ifTurkeyistohavetheassistanceitneeds,theUnitedStatesmustsupplyit.Wearetheonlycountryabletoprovidethathelp.
IamfullyawareofthebroadimplicationsinvolvediftheUnitedStatesextendsassistancetoGreeceandTurkey,andIshalldiscusstheseimplicationswithyouatthistime.OneoftheprimaryobjectivesoftheforeignpolicyoftheUnitedStatesisthecreationofconditionsinwhichweandothernationswillbeabletoworkoutawayoflifefreefromcoercion.ThiswasafundamentalissueinthewarwithGermanyandJapan.Ourvictorywaswonovercountrieswhichsoughttoimposetheirwill,andtheirwayoflife,uponothernations.

ItisnecessaryonlytoglanceatamaptorealizethatthesurvivalandintegrityoftheGreeknationareofgraveimportanceinamuchwidersituation.IfGreeceshouldfallunderthecontrolofanarmedminority,theeffectuponitsneighbor,Turkey,wouldbeimmediateandserious.ConfusionanddisordermightwellspreadthroughouttheentireMiddleEast.Moreover,thedisappearanceofGreeceasanindependentstatewouldhaveaprofoundeffectuponthosecountriesinEuropewhosepeoplesarestrugglingagainstgreatdifficultiestomaintaintheirfreedomsandtheirindependencewhiletheyrepairthedamagesofwar.

ShouldwefailtoaidGreeceandTurkeyinthisfatefulhour,theeffectwillbefarreachingtotheWestaswellastotheEast.
Wemusttakeimmediateandresoluteaction.IthereforeasktheCongresstoprovideauthorityforassistancetoGreeceandTurkeyintheamountof$400,000,000fortheperiodendingJune30,1948.Inrequestingthesefunds,IhavetakenintoconsiderationthemaximumamountofreliefassistancewhichwouldbefurnishedtoGreeceoutofthe$350,000,000whichIrecentlyrequestedthattheCongressauthorizeforthepreventionofstarvationandsufferingincountriesdevastatedbythewar.

有人说“我们正在读一本书的第一章的第一节，页数无限的”。我不知道谁写的这些话，但我一直很喜欢他们提醒人们，可以是任何我们想要的未来。我们都是农民的地位。我们若种下好种子，我们收获丰收。如果我们工厂什么都没有，我们什么也没收获。
我们年轻的时候。“如何度过青春？“这是一个有意义的问题。要回答这个问题，首先我要问“你怎么理解这个词的青年吗？“青春不是生命的一个阶段，它是一种心态。它不是红润的面颊，红色的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖。它的问题。它是生命的深泉的清新。
行，展示我们的爱。职业和生活。我有一个短线的生活。你的呢？我想知道是否我们可以看到我们的未来。好吧，让我们做一个拳头。我们的未来在哪里？哪里是我们的爱，事业和生活？告诉我。是的，它是在我们的手中。这是在自己举行。
我们都希望未来会比过去更好。但是未来可以更好的自己。不要因为完结而哭，要为曾经发生而微笑。从过去，我们知道，生活是艰苦的，但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择我们的感觉，但我们可以选择。失败并不意味着你不拥有它，它意味着你应该换一种方式。失败并不意味着你应该放弃，它意味着你须更加努力。
就像我一开始说，“我们正在读一本书的第一章的第一节，页数无限的”。过去的已经过去了。我们所做的任何事都不会改变它。但是未来是在我们面前。相信我们给世界，世界将给我们。从今天开始，我们是自己的主人，说出“我们是世界，我们是未来。”
