關於成功的外國名人演講稿
演講又叫講演或演說,是一種對自身溝通能力的提升的活動。外國名人的演講,你聽過幾個呢?小編精心為大家蒐集整理了,大家一起來看看吧。
篇1:格萊斯頓
各位先生:我很高興,祝詞是由你們委員會送給我的,說明委員會已經批准這篇祝詞了。祝詞把格萊斯頓先生稱為英國最偉大的自由黨領袖。我認為你們那樣說,不但不過分,而勝還不夠。使我高興的是,你們確實不但稱他為最偉大的自由黨領袖,而鳳還很公正地稱他為英國最偉大的領袖。我沒有忘記另外的那一位,提到格萊斯頓時,我總會記起他。他教會了他的黨先把他們的各項議案偽裝起來,然後通過,以此攫取對手的地位。這是本世紀領導黨派的一種絕妙手法,這種辦法把一個外國冒險家提升到廠英國貴族的地位,使他的名字感恩戴德地放在那個大黨的忘記神完中。這個黨在迪斯雷裡之後,後繼無人了。
但是你們在這篇祝詞中頌揚的這個人在經歷了一段可以滿足任何人野心的政治生涯以後,成了英帝國的首腦。這個日不落帝國每天以晨鐘迎來東昇的旭日。他冒了風險,丟了職位,又再次冒著風險為英帝國中這個無權而又受到不公正待遇的地區—雖則這地區並不支援他當政—爭取宗教改革、教育改革和土地改革,爭取自由!這樣做並非出於一時衝動,也不是近期才開始的了。格萊斯頓為愛爾蘭爭取廢除向英格蘭教會納稅已經不止17年了心他努力使第一個租佃法案得到通過,承認而且認真彌補了英格蘭地主佔有愛爾蘭土地的罪過。他在這力一面的努力,也有同樣長的時間了。
他的工作很少按照他希望的速度進行,也很少能達到預期的結果;他的作法有時不為我們所取。但是如果說他不是一貫正確,他卻總有足夠的勇氣糾正自己的錯誤,如果說他在我們美閒的問題上犯過錯誤。說傑斐遜戴維斯建立了一個閏家,但是後來他卻格守了日內瓦裁決彌補了他的過失。如果說他早期在愛爾蘭問題上犯過錯誤,企圖實行不明鉀的高壓政策,那麼他最近在英國國會上以及在英國人民面前進行的卓越鬥爭,已經彌補他的錯誤有餘了。不錯.這次鬥爭以失敗告終,但是這種失敗叱許多勝利更為光榮,它給愛爾蘭帶來更多的希望。
比起同時代其他任何政治家,他更能把政治行為的實踐技巧和高度道德標準的堅定要求結合起來。對於那樣的領袖人物,失敗只不過是前進的階梯,最後勝利是無庸置疑的。在我們當中一度傳誦過一句名言,有時候找覺得英國人用來談論愛爾蘭也很適合。一位偉大的、十分偉大的人,他的英名永遠光耀我們的城市,曾在一個激動人心的時刻說過,他“決不住在用刺J7把各人釘在一起的國家甲。”即使格萊斯頓先生曾經認為愛爾蘭應該這樣附著英格畔,他也懂得用更好的方式。像格里萊一樣,如有需要,他肯定會為國家的領土統一而戰鬥到底。但是,格萊斯頓記住了查爾斯·詹姆士·伐斯將近一百年前的教導:“愛爾蘭愈是由白己的政府管理就愈於英國有利。”格萊斯頓一直致力於這句格言的實現。願上帝賜給這位老政治家生命與光明。使他能看到他所開創的業績得到完成!
篇2:羅斯福
你們會聽到有人這麼說:“為什麼聯合國役做這個,沒做那個?”其實聯合國的作用即其會員國賦予它的功能,所以我認為我們首先要看成立的是哪種機構,及它是用來幹什麼的。
現在我們要先回顧一下當初起草聯合國憲章的時候,那時戰爭尚未結束,每個人都夢想能成立一個機構,其目的是為保衛世界和平。
大部分地區的人都知道他們門前發生了戰爭,情形會是怎樣,而我們卻不曉得,會是被佔領呢,還是會被毀滅?許多國家的遭遇各有不同,我們實在應該發揮想象力,去了解到底那些領土被佔據或遭到巨大毀滅,以前的感覺如何?今天的感覺又將是如何呢?
他們在戰爭期問已結過同盟,而他們還想在戰後再度結盟,那是這個世紀的一大特徵。
他們認為成立這個機構要用來維持和平,而不是製造和平,和平本身自然會產生,這個機構是來幫助維持的。但這一希望的和平並沒有出現,所以這個並非為了解決某些問題而成立的組織,就遇到了許多當初沒有想到的問題。
然而彼此間的交流是有很大的作用的,所以你們應該把聯合國大會視為溝通人民之間的橋樑。
我們美國人是個耐心不足的民族,只想馬上見到成效。但如果走得太快,常常也會阻礙前進步伐的。
我們組織的聯合國是有它傳統的風俗習慣的,有些人對這些就顯得不耐煩,我們偶爾可以想想,別人會發現他們的方式是最好的,而不是我們的方法,所以找們有時可以從別人那裡學到,一些經驗。為了要了解一些情況,我們必須去學習,去傾聽。
即使說由於蘇聯也加人聯合國,會增加我們的麻煩,但只要把它想成也許是件好事也將能起到促進作用,因為聯合國本身即是一座橋樑,即使有一天這座橋樑斷裂了,但我們仍能與其他國家會合—不管是蘇聯或任何成員國,這是惟一增加彼此瞭解的途徑。目前蘇聯是把聯合國當成吹噓他們的成就的地方。
他們被要求說出的話及他們必須說的話,正與他們被說的一樣,這對於一個奴隸來說是很難的。他們的政府想要影響自己的人民,有位蘇聯代表在聯合國做了一篇演說,他們將全文刊在蘇聯報紙上,但卻沒有任何反響,這些情況才是真正的困難所在。
我們看到聯合國的失敗時,不要覺得沮喪,如果我們能夠牢記教訓,最後我們定能使這個機構發揮更大更好的作用,我們可以學到一條重要的經驗,除非我們賦予某個機構功能,否則它根本不會有任何作用的。
因此,像我們這樣的民主國家,人民有權利向代表們提出要他們做些什麼事,而我們每個人都要認清個人的責任,這樣才能真正地使聯合國發揮效能。如果我們不這樣做的話1就是徹底失敗了—一切都掌握在我們的手中,而這也是目前我們 著名外文家水含辭今·”·最緊要的工作。
我們是世界上最強大的國家,所以不管喜不喜歡,我們都是全世界的領袖。我們不只是在軍事及經濟力量方面引導別人,而且要領導他們知道我們的價值是什麼,我們信仰什麼,願意遵循哪些信條,並願意承認,由於遵守信條,我們不但幫助自己,同時我們也幫助了全世界的人類。
篇3:比爾蓋茨
Good evening.
Thank you, Professor Lin. It’s great to be here today. Beida has an incredible history and I’m sure next year, as you celebrate your 120th-year anniversary, you’ll get to look back on the incredible contributions that you have made to this country.
I’ve been coming to China since the early 1990s, initially as part of my work at Microsoft. It was ten years ago that I was privileged to be named an honorary trustee here at Beida. I remember what a great time I had in 2008 when I was here watching the Olympic table tennis semi-finals between China and South Korea.
As I’m sure you remember, China took the gold medal in every category – men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s and women’s team’s event. That was on top of two silvers and two bronze medals. For someone who’s a big table tennis fan, that was pretty incredible to witness.
And that highlights in one way, what incredible potential China has. China is on a quest for excellence, a quest not only to improve itself but to contribute to the whole world.
As China’s economy is maturing, it’s making bold and difficult decisions on things like energy and pollution. And it’s assuming a greater role in critical issues like climate and development. And this matters now more than ever as the world is navigating a time of change and uncertainty.
In some rich countries, there is skepticism about globalization. The results of the U.S. presidential election and the Brexit vote in the UK, both seem to underscore a rise of turning inward on issues like migration, security, and perhaps even global development.
It’s great to see China stepping up to engage even more with other countries. It is greatly equipped to do so. No other country has accomplished what China has achieved in the last few decades – breaking the relentless cycle of poverty and disease for hundreds of millions of people while modernizing its economy at a scale and speed unprecedented in human history.
Although no one is expecting China to fill a gap in development aid from wealthy countries, it has made a very smart commitment to triple its commitment to African development. China has long understood that helping other countries lift themselves out of poverty creates a stable and secure world for people everywhere.
And by encouraging investment through innovative financing mechanisms like the China-Africa Development Fund, China is strengthening not only Africa’s economic capacity, but also, over time, the markets for Chinese goods.
It’s great to see President Xi’s commitment to eliminate extreme poverty here in China by 2020. China did a great job of lifting millions out of poverty. But progress has been uneven. Forty-three million people still live in extreme poverty.
Our foundation looks forward to a new partnership with China that will focus on innovative ideas to bring this number down to zero – working on nutrition, healthcare in rural areas, and also finding ways to increase financial services for the poor.
Of course, China isn’t not only striving to reach new heights here at home. It’s using its own experience fighting poverty and disease to help other countries tackle similar challenges. When I was in Beijing a few years ago, Vice Premier Wang Yang said something that stayed with me. He said: “Africa today is our yesterday.” Now, China is using the lessons it’s learned to usher in a new tomorrow for Africa, too.
This is a pretty incredible time to be a young person in China. Your generation’s entrance into the workforce will coincide with your country’s rise as a center of global progress and innovation. The world’s eyes are on China. . .and as a new generation comes of age, the world’s eyes are specifically on all of you.
So, I want to spend the rest of my comments focusing on four areas where I think there are exciting opportunities to use your education, your passion, and opportunities to unlock more amazing progress – for both China and for the world. Specifically, health, agriculture, energy, and technology.
First, health. When my wife and I started the Gates foundation 17 years ago, we asked ourselves: how can we use our financial resources to make the biggest impact? It didn’t take long to realize that improving health deserved to be at the top of the list.
When people aren’t healthy, they can’t learn in school or be productive at work. They’re unable to seize economic opportunities or do any of the things they need to lift themselves out of poverty.
Melinda and I saw the example of China creating a better life for its people, and it inspired us to see if there was a way to support China’s progress. Over the last decade, our work here has focused on several of the most persistent domestic health challenges – specifically reducing the incidence of tuberculosis and tobacco-related diseases, preventing HIV transmission, and improving treatment and care for people living with AIDS.
We are continuing to support progress in these areas, but our work in China is also evolving along with China’s new priorities. For example, China has a great opportunity to be a global leader in health innovation.
No one exemplifies the strong history here better than Professor Tu Youyou. As I’m sure most of you know, Professor Tu is a Beida graduate and the first woman in China to win a Nobel Prize.
She was, of course, recognized for her discovery of artemisinin, the powerful medicine used to treat malaria. It was one of the most significant breakthroughs in tropical medicine in the 20th century and it has saved millions of lives.
With its rich pool of talented scientists and its capacity to develop new drugs and vaccines, China was a clear choice for us to locate a new Global Health Drug Discovery Institute. This institute – a collaboration between our foundation, the Beijing Government, and Tsinghua University – will help speed the discovery and development of new lifesaving medicines.
I had a chance earlier today to meet with some of the Chinese scientists who are driving cutting-edge research. For example, Dr. He Ruyi is the Chief Scientist at the Center for Drug Evaluation for the Chinese Food and Drug Administration ***CFDA***. His work – and the reforms being carried out by his agency – will create an environment where innovation will thrive. We are working with the CFDA to bring in more experts like Dr. Ruyi to help improve its regulatory capacity so that more Chinese health products can be made accessible to the entire world, including developing countries.
One area that China has an incredible chance to lead in is in both reducing malaria and eventually eradicating malaria. With Chinese leadership, we have a chance to make malaria the third wide-scale human disease – after smallpox and, soon, polio – to be wiped off the face of the earth.
A little more than a century ago, malaria was the leading cause of death in nearly every country on earth. There has been great progress since then, and China is on track to eliminate malaria completely in the next few years. But more than 3.2 billion people around the world still live in areas where there’s a significant risk of malaria infection.
To achieve the goal of global eradication, we need to build on Professor Tu’s discovery of artemisinin and develop more powerful tools – like a single-dose cure and better ways to block transmission of malaria from mosquitos to humans.
China has the potential to develop these new high-impact solutions at a very low cost that the developing world can afford. We can start today by doing the elimination of malaria in places like the Mekong River basin and in the southern part of Africa.
Drawing on lessons learned from its own experience, China can help ensure that every family has bed nets to protect them from infection. And it can help countries strengthen their health and disease systems to better diagnose, treat, and prevent future cases of malaria.
That’s health. The second area where I believe China can accelerate global progress is agriculture. Since 1975, Chinese agricultural productivity has grown at a rate of 12 percent per year – four times the annual rate of growth in Africa.
That has not only fed a growing population, but it has led to better nutrition and health, higher rural incomes, falling poverty rates, and more labor available to other sectors to drive Chinese economic development.
There are many factors that accounted for China’s recent green revolution. One of the most significant is its commitment to agricultural innovation and the work of people like Professor Yuan Longping. A crop scientist at Hunan Agricultural University, Professor Yuan developed hybrid rice varieties that increased crop yields over 20 percent.
China’s continuing advances in rice could be of enormous benefit to millions of smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, many of whom today are barely growing enough to feed their families and who’ll face more difficult weather conditions in the decades ahead.
Since 2008, Our foundation’s supported work by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and others to develop new varieties of rice that – when crossed with domestic varieties in countries like Senegal, Tanzania, Rwanda – will result in high-yielding, stress-tolerant crops that will boost farmer yields and income. But to feed the entire planet, we need to do even more.
One of the most exciting efforts is research by Chinese scientists to supercharge the basic process of photosynthesis itself. This would significantly increase crop yields while reducing the demand for irrigation and fertilizer.
We are also supporting research by Chinese scientists to improve the health of livestock, which plays a vital role in food security and the rural economy of developing countries. We are working with the Ministry of Commerce ***MOFCOM*** and the Ministry of Agriculture to promote sustainable agricultural development throughout Africa.
That brings me to what I think of as China’s third global opportunity: energy innovation. China is already one of the world leaders in renewable energy. And it recently announced that it will spend $360 billion on renewable power sources by 2020. This will pay off handsomely for China domestically, and it’s a great, long-term business opportunity.
There are challenges: sorting out the right mix of technologies, managing the reliability in the new large transmission grid. All of these will be needed to manage in a very complex way to meet the growing energy needs.
One element of the system would be the next-generation of nuclear technology. This, for generation, can be dramatically safer and substantially cheaper and solve a lot of the challenges with today’s nuclear energy. I work with a company, TerraPower, that is partnering with China National Nuclear Corporation and other Chinese companies to provide one way to make this a reality.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet several times with President Xi and I am encouraged by his commitment in a number of barriers – including his leadership at the Paris Climate talks. China was one of the 22 countries that committed to doubling their investments in clean energy innovation over the next five years.
I’m also working with Jack Ma and other Chinese investors who have pledged to invest $1 billion in the development of early-stage energy technology so we can move the best ideas from the labs to the marketplace.
A fourth area where I know China has great potential is software. During my time at Microsoft, we were so impressed by the quality of computer scientists and developers coming out of the universities here that we established one of our first research labs in Beijing almost 20 years ago.
Today, it’s Microsoft’s largest research center outside the United States. It’s a phenomenal place, with 200 of the world’s top researchers and developers and more than 300 visiting scientists and fellows.
The best thing is that researchers are free to explore what they’re most passionate about, which leads to breakthroughs like Xiaobing, a natural-language chat bot that simulates human conversation.
Some of you may have had conversations with Xiaobing on Weibo, or seen her weather forecasts on TV, or read her column in the Qianjiang Evening News.
Xiaobing has attracted 45 million followers and is quite skilled at multitasking. And I’ve heard she’s gotten good enough at sensing a user’s emotional state that she can even help during a relationship breakup.
Besides developing new technologies for Microsoft, the Beijing lab also helps software entrepreneurs who have a great product ideas and need help scaling their business. In the last two years, most of the 125 companies that graduated from the Microsoft Accelerator program were able to secure additional funding. And three of those startups have gone public.
The Beijing lab also supports up-and-coming software developers. We’ve hired more than 5,000 interns here. And you’ll be happy to know that we’ve recruited more students in the last three years from Beida than from Tsinghua. But it’s a slim lead, so those of you here in computer science will have to keep up your good work!
Technology is also helping to power the philanthropic sector in China. It’s a growing sector and one with immense potential. In 2015, people contributed 966 million RMB to causes they care about using the four largest online donation platforms.
And the success of 9/9 Charity Day, started a few years ago by Tencent, shows what is possible when people have an easy way to get involved and give back. In just three days last year, 6 million people – people like you – raised 305 million RMB in support of more than 3,600 projects. So this is just one example of how philanthropy is beginning to blossom here in China.
A lot of the most successful entrepreneurs, like Jack Ma, Pony Ma, Charles Chen Yidan and Niu Gensheng, have helped create the world’s second largest pool of individual wealth. And now they’re taking, some of their time to get involved and start giving back.
The new Charity Law that took effect last September begins to open up more opportunities for people to be engaged. People are coming together at events like the China’s Sixth Social Good Summit held at Beida last fall.
Some of you may decide to work for NGOs that are making life better for the most vulnerable in society. But even if you don’t end up doing that, or make big financial donations, there are many other ways of getting involved. Just learning about something, lending your voice, or volunteering your time is important.
What an incredible, motivating thing that is – the belief that you can make the world a better place. And there has never been a better time.
As the geopolitical currents shifts, China has an opportunity to advance progress on the most urgent challenges the world faces. China’s leaders are embracing this opportunity, but it will be up to China’s youth to carry it forward.
In the last few decades, millions of people in China have achieved professional and financial success. I’m sure all of you will too, and that’s a great thing. I certainly enjoyed all of my work at Microsoft and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
But now I’ve also had the opportunity in my philanthropic work to meet people who apply their talents and passion in giving-back ways. Many of these people are impatient to see the world improve, but there’re optimists as well. People who believe in the possibility of change and are eager to do something about it.
Doctors courageous enough to risk their own lives to save the lives of others suffering from Ebola. Entrepreneurs using their ingenuity to deliver life-saving drugs to remote villages by drone. And people of all walks of life who volunteer their time to help the homeless or mentor a child at risk.
Maybe you are the person who wants to ensure that every child growing up in poverty has the nutrition they need to do their best in school. Maybe you want to develop the next vaccine that protects everyone from malaria. Maybe you want to design the battery that lights people’s desks at night, or the mobile technology that will allow people to start new businesses.
No matter what your ambition is to improve the world, this is the best time and the best place to do it, and all of you have a great opportunity. I look forward to seeing what you’ll achieve.
Thank you!
