我的朋友英语演讲稿带翻译经典20篇

I have a good friend named Cheng, He is a humorous and cheerful person. He

is tall and fat. He has a chubby round face and a pair of black and blue glasses

on the bridge of his short nose. The little eyes narrowed into a slit when

laughing. He also has a loud voice and a eloquent mouth. He sometimes pretends

to be serious, like a little adult.

We often read, study and play games together. What makes me most happy is

playing Taekwondo. Qiye taught me Taekwondo. I worshipped him as my teacher. He

first taught me the basic attack Zha Ma Bu. At first, I learned from him, put

my feet apart, stretched my arms straight, and said with a smile, "this is a

standing horse step"! I squatted down. He frowned like a coach and said

seriously, "this is a squatting horse step!"! I quickly stood up again. He

pointed happily and said, "yes, thats the position. Hold it for ten minutes."

But this half squat is so difficult that I cant hold on for a minute. He saw me

lazy, standing there with my waist crossed, complaining while angry. Looking at

his little adult appearance, I couldnt help falling to the ground laughing and

stammering: Master... Stop talking. "There are so many jokes because of a horse

step.

This is our friendship.

我有一个好朋友，叫程__，他是个即幽默又开朗的人,他个子高偏胖，有一张胖乎乎的圆脸，不高的鼻梁上架着一副黑蓝相间的眼镜。小小的眼睛笑起来眯成一条缝。他还有一副洪亮的好嗓子和一张能说会道的嘴。他有时候装正经，像个小大人

。

我们常在一起看书、学习、做游戏。最让我开心的是玩跆拳道游戏，祺烨教我跆拳道，我拜他为师，他先教我基本攻‘扎马步’。开始，我学着他的动作摆好‘扎马步’姿势两脚分开，双手臂伸直，他微笑地说："这是站马步"!我就蹲下去了儿，他像个教练似的皱着眉头严肃地说："你这是蹲马步"!我赶紧又站起来点儿，他高兴地指着说："对，就是这个姿势，保持十分钟。"可这个半蹲动作好难，我一分钟也坚持不住。他看我偷懒，叉着腰站在那里一边生气一边发牢骚，看着他这副小大人的样子，我忍不住倒在地上捧腹大笑，结结巴巴地说：师傅……你别再讲了。"就因为一个扎马步闹出了那么多笑话。

这就是我们之间的友谊。

I had a joyful summer vacation. During the holidays, I traveled with my

families. We went to Beijing and stayed there for four days. We lived in the

hotel. It is very beautiful. We visited to the Tiananmen Square, the Imperial

Palace, the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace. We also went to the Great

Wall. The weather was very hot, but we were exciting. I like Beijing very much.

I hope I can go there

again.我度过了一个愉快的暑假。假期里，我和家人一起旅行。我们去了北京，在那里呆了四天。我们住在酒店。它非常漂亮。我们参观了天安门广场、故宫、颐和园和圆明园。我们还去了长城。天气很热，但我们很兴奋。我非常喜欢北京。我希望我能再去那里。

Serious Floods

The Yangzte River is the longest river in China. And its important and helpful to us Chinese. But these days the Yangtze River is bringing us serious floods.

Many villages were destroyed by floods. The floods made hundreds of millions of people lose their homes, relatives and friends. Many children cant go to school as usual .Now the foods have drawn the attention of the whole world. People from abroad have offered their help too. In China, millions of soldiers are busy fighting against the floods. They are working very hard. Many of them have lost their lives in their attempt to save the villagers.

Though we cant help them to fight against floods, we should help them to rebuild their homeland. We can present them our pocketmoney and clothes. I believe most of the people will return to their homeland in the near future.

严重的水灾

长江是中国最长的河流。它对我们中国人十分重要。但现在长江给我们带来了严重的水灾。

许多村庄被洪水冲毁于。洪水使成千上万的人失去了家园，亲戚和朋友。许多孩子不能与平常——样去学校了。现在洪水引起了全球的注意。国外的人也给予了援助。在中国，上百万的战士忙于与洪水搏斗。他们努力工作，许多人在救村民时献出了自己的生命。

尽管我们不能帮助他们抗洪，但我们可以帮他们重建家园。我们可以捐出零花钱和衣服。我相信在不久的将来大多数人会回到家乡。

When I was very small, I like to read the books withpictures, because I did not know the words.

在我还很小的时候，我喜欢看那些有图片的书，因为我还不认识字。

One day, I saw the interesting pictures in the book, Isaw the turtle and the rabbit, but I did not knowwhat it said, so I asked my mom.

有一天，我在一本书上看到了有趣的图片，我看到了乌龟和兔子，但是我不知道上面讲的是什么，因此我问妈妈。

She told me that the turtle and the rabbit were racing, I said there was no doubt that therabbit would win, but my mom smiled and said the turtle won at last because the rabbit was soconfident and slept for a while and missed the time.

她告诉我乌龟和兔子正在比赛，我说肯定是兔子赢，但是妈妈笑笑，说乌龟最后赢了，因为兔子那么自信，睡了一会，错过了时间。

I was shocked, I learned that lagging behind doesn’t mean lose, if we insist, we will have thechance to win.

我很震惊，我学到了落后并不意味着输，如果我们坚持，就有机会取得胜利。

"Chinese New Year! Its a big year!" There will be a year of "rabbit" in the happy laughter of children, everywhere is jubilant. My parents and I have posted the Spring Festival couplets, and grandpa and grandma are cutting meat and chopping meat in the kitchen for a big feast. The family is full of festive fun!

My familys annual dinner division of labor cooperation, each division of responsibility. Grandma is the chief designer, responsible for scheduling and cooking. For the New Years eve grandma would take out a set of fine new tableware in the cupboard. Grandpa helps grandma with the small work, in charge of buying the side dishes, the dressing, the oil salt sauce vinegar, the POTS and pans. I was responsible for "stealing", and after cooking, I always used the salty excuse of the dish to steal the good food.

I was dazzled by my grandmothers command and conduct, and at six o clock in the evening, our dinner was officially started, and the dishes were served with a delicious array of flavors and fragrances. Among them, braised fish, beanhead and water celery are our must-eat dishes, which means more than one year, which means peace and passepartout. This year, I made my first appearance, and I raised my glass to grandpa and grandma happiness as immense as the Eastern Sea, live as long as the southern mountain. I wish my father and mother good health, good laugh and good work. My grandpa and grandma wish me to study progress, my parents wish me good health, every day good mood, "cheers! A toast"

While everyone was having a good time, grandpa suddenly asked me a question, "why should we have dinner?" After listening, I was dumbfounded. I didnt know how to answer. When grandma saw that I couldnt answer, she laughed and said a legend, "legend has it that gao Yang had three sons who became a plague after his death. Two of them lived on the edge of the river, but one lived in a corner of the house, and they came out to scare the children on New Years eve. Because fire could drive away evil, people would burn the fire on New Years eve, and when the family was reunited, the plague would not come out and disturb the children. There is also a family dinner and gossip, and everyone talk about the unforgettable things they have met outside, and let the family share it. "Oh, theres a saying in the old dinner." I clap my hands happily.

“过年啰！过大年啰！”在孩子们的欢声笑语中将要迎来“兔”年，处处是一片喜气洋洋。我和爸爸妈妈一起贴春联，爷爷和奶奶在厨房切菜剁肉准备丰盛的年夜饭，家中充满了节日的欢乐！

我家的年夜饭分工合作，各司其责。奶奶是总设计师，负责人员调度和做菜。为了年夜饭奶奶会把柜子里的一套精美的新餐具拿出来用。爷爷帮奶奶打小工，负责买配菜、买调料、拿油盐酱醋、锅碗瓢盆。我嘛，就负责“偷吃”，菜做好后，我总以尝尝菜的咸淡为借口，来偷吃做好的菜。

在奶奶的指挥和操持下，晚上六点整我们的年夜大餐正式开始，一盘盘色香味俱全、香喷喷的饭菜端上桌来，我看得眼花缭乱。其中红烧鱼、安豆头、水芹菜是我们必吃的菜，寓意着年年有余，平平安安和路路通。今年还是我第一个出场，我端起酒杯祝愿爷爷奶奶福如东海，寿比南山。祝愿爸爸和妈妈身体健康，笑口常开，工作顺利；爷爷奶奶祝我学习进步，爸爸妈妈祝我身体健康，天天好心情，“干杯！干杯”

正在大家都吃得高兴的时候，爷爷突然提出了一个问题问我说：“我们为什么要吃年夜饭呢？”我听了后，目瞪口呆，不知如何回答。奶奶见我回答不出来，就笑着说了一个传说：“传说高阳氏有三个儿子，死后都变成了疫鬼。两个居住在江边，一个却住在人家屋内的角落里，专门在除夕夜里出来吓唬小孩子。由于火可以驱邪，人们便在除夕夜里燃烧炉火，再加上家人团聚，疫鬼就不敢出来惊扰小孩子了。还有，一家人一面吃年夜饭，一面闲话家常，每人都谈谈自己在外面所遇到的难忘的事情，让家人共同分享。“哦，原来吃年夜饭还有这种说法呢。”我高兴的拍手叫好。

我家的年夜饭一直吃到晚上八点钟，奶奶说：“中央电视台开始播放春节联欢晚会了，我祝大家兔年交好运，健康又快乐，下面大家一起去看春节联欢晚会。”

今年除夕，我们一家在温馨的气氛中，吃了一顿非常开心的年夜饭。

Time slips away like water, and a happy, happy, happy summer vacation is quietly taken away. What happened during the summer vacation was like a star in the sky.

I walked gingerly on the slippery field, and gradually saw many watermelons, carefully removing the round watermelon, for fear of falling on the ground. "One, two, three..." I put five big watermelons on the bucket, and I lifted the bucket and pulled it back. I was full of sweat when I came home, but "the emperor has no man to do", and my mother gave me an ice watermelon to reward me. Its nice!

If I Rest, I Rust

The significant inscription found on an old key - "If I rest, I rust." - would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示:如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gates that guard entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture-every department of human endeavor.

有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业:科学，艺术，文学，农业等。

Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in quarry had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his " moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, had allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside, instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never become a famous,astronomer.

勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休·米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙·斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他，那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

Labor vanquish all-not inconstant, spasmodic or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, So is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。
