自信的英语演讲稿带翻译经典20篇

In our country, the only-one child policy has made more and more parents pay so much attention to their children that they would like to replace their children to do everything, including study, work and even marriage. This notion has given to many problems for children’s grow-ups. Therefore, our parents should learn to help their children to be independent.

There are some suggestions given to our parents. For one thing, it is quite important for our parents to realize that their children will grow up and have their own ideas and thoughts as time goes by. Thus, children should be encouraged to make some decisions alone in some matters so that they are able to pursue what they want. And this would also make contribution to solve what we called “generation gap.”

For another, our parents should believe that their children have enough ability to deal with their personal matters and differentiate between good and evil. Hence, parents should give some family chores to their children properly because it is a good chance to train them.Of course, I am not saying that our parents should not help their children when they are getting into trouble, but I contend that our parents should give their children a free hand in some matters to help them to be independent.

如果Parants负起责任，也应受到惩罚，如果他们的孩子表现不好？

事实上，家长在儿童的成长是非常重要的作用。但是，我们不能认为父母应该负起责任，受到惩罚，如果他们的孩子表现不好。否则，这将是不公平的，一些家长，我们应该客观地考虑这个问题。

一些家长教导子女非常小心，告诉他们该怎么做，怎么做，什么是错的，什么是正确的。他们尽量引导他们childrn，为他们提供学习和生活的忠告儿童。随着父母的指令，有些孩子表现得很好。然而，还是孩子谁表现不好。在这种情况下，我们不应该批评孩子的父母，如果他们表现不好。

当然，也有父母，谁是忙着自己的事日夜其他种类，忽略了儿童的教育。虽然他们提供最好的生活，他们的子女，他们忽视教导子女如何正确地思考。在这种情况下，家长应该受到惩罚，如果孩子表现不好。

总之，我们应考虑不同情况，作出客观的决定，对于许多因素可能导致儿童不良行为。也许父母的因素之一。除了上述情况，还有其他。这些父母是谁表现bodly可能导致他们的孩子表现不好。这类父母应该受到惩罚。

因此，不负责任的父母应该受到惩罚。我们应该给予全面考虑这个问题。

Happiness exists everywhere. Everyone has different definitions of happiness.幸福存在于每个地方。每个人对幸福的定义都不同。

Some people think possessing a great deal of money is the secret to happiness, while others feel giving aid to others makes them happy. I approve of the latter.有的人认为拥有大笔钱是幸福的秘诀，而有的人感觉给予别人帮助会让自己感到幸福。我同意后者。

There are many poor people in our society, and we can contribute some money to charities to help them. When the poor receive our assistance, their lives will be improved. Smiles will appear on their faces, and this is the best reward we can get from helping others. When we see their happy smiles, we will be happy as well.社会中有很多穷人，我们可以捐一些钱到慈善机构帮助他们。当那些穷人得到帮助的时候，他们的生活会得到改善。他们的脸上会充满微笑，这也是我们帮助他们所得到的最好的回报。当我们看到他们快乐的笑容，我们也会感到很幸福。

So I think that true happiness comes from the heart.所以我认为真正的幸福来自我们的内心。

小作者通过写给予别人帮助所得到的快乐，说明真正的幸福来自内心，而并非金钱。

每年的12月25日都是一年一度的圣诞佳节，今年也不例外，怎样过才是最有意义的，才是最令我终生难忘的呢。让我冥思苦想、绞尽脑汁。

西方国家的人们都喜欢过圣诞节，欢欢喜喜的节日气氛，一点不亚于中国人过大年，那么我就想到了圣诞的前夜是平安夜。哈哈，平安夜当然要送平安果的了。有了……于是，我让妈妈帮忙准备了好多的牛奶苹果，既甜又面还红的，我几乎每天都是在扳着指头计算着平安夜到来的日子，好不容易等到了今天，我太兴奋了，马上开始包装行动。我用手仔细的擦拭着其中一个自己认为最满意的苹果，它是那么晶莹剔透、那么讨人喜那种。提前几天就买回来了，都是精挑细选的，可见我的良苦用心了吧。

自此以后欢，真想凑上去啃它一大口，那滋味别提了，肯定是垂涎欲滴。然后用彩色的包装纸包好，再打上个漂亮的蝴蝶结。万事具备只欠东风，我太期待24日的到来了。

在平安夜这一天，能收到平安果，是每个人最最高兴的事情了，因为它包含着心意和祝福，老师一定会心花怒放的。接着，我又组织了祝福的话，“齐老师，送给你一个平安果，祝你平平安安、顺顺利利、健健康康、开开心心!”饱含着我诚挚地语气和真实地情感，再鞠上一躬，然后双手捧给老师，她一定会接受的。因为礼轻情重，那是她的学生的一片心意，她怎么好拒绝一个来自孩子的小小的礼物呢。

送人玫瑰手有余香，给老师送去祝福的同时，我也会收获属于自己的幸福和快乐。

Some people are born with the belief that they are masters of their own lives. Others feel they are at the mercy of fate.New research shows that part of those feelings are in the genes.

Psychologists have long known that people confident in their ability to control their destinies are more likely to adjust well to growing old than those who feel that they drift on the currents of fate.

Two researchers who questioned hundreds of Swedish twins report that such confidence, or lark of it, is partly genetic and partly drawn from experience.

They also found that the belief in blind luck-a conviction that coincidence plays a big role in life is something learned in life and has nothing to do with heredity.

The research was conducted at the Karolinska Institute-better known as the body that annually awards the Nobel Prize for medicine by Nancy Pedersen of the Institute and Margaret Gatz, a professor of psychology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Their results were recently published in the United States in the Journal of Gerontology.

People who are confident of their ability to control their lives have an "internal locus of control,"and have a better chance of being well adjusted in their old age, said Pedersen.

An "external locus of control," believing that outside forces determine the course of life, has been linked to depression in latter years, she said.

"We are trying to understand what makes people different. What makes some people age gracefully and others have a more difficult time?" she said.

The study showed that while people have an inborn predilection toward independence and self-confidence, about 70 percent of this personality trait is affected by a persons environment and lifetime experiences.

Pedersens studies, with various collaborators, probe the aging process by comparing sets of twins, both identical and fraternal, many of whom were separated at an early age.

The subjects were drawn from a roster first compiled about 30 years ago registering all twins born in Sweden since 1886. The complete list, which was extended in 1971, has 95,000 sets of twins.

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。
