震撼人心的英文演讲(精品20篇)

“跑马溜溜的山上，一朵溜溜的云哟，端端溜溜的照在，康定溜溜的城哟……”西藏，一个生活在青藏高原的神秘民族，纯朴，真诚，热情，散发着清新的自然气息。但，这美丽的民族的背后，却有着一段令人刻骨铭心历史。《走进西藏》，向我诉说了过去的西藏……

在元朝时期，中央在西藏设立宣政院，西藏就是我国不可分割的领土。清朝时期，清政府在西藏设置驻藏大臣，并确立了西藏佛教两个首领——达赖、班禅。在中央政府管理下，西藏变得井井有条，可是在新中国解放前期，西藏还是奴隶制社会，西藏人民过着惨绝人寰的生活。在达赖的统治下，西藏的上空永远被乌云所笼罩，人民没有人权，没有自由，完完全全是被人控制的木偶，人的生命可以随意玩弄，随意杀戮，随意践踏。

我看着画面上一个个躺在地下的尸体，一个个尚还存活着的人脸上那无助和凄惨，一个个被摧残凋零的花朵，一个个已经风烛残年却沦落街头的老人，我的心在愤怒、在颤抖，如此丧心病狂的人怎能领导整个西藏民族？如此美丽的西藏怎能由他们统治？西藏人民怎能过这样水深火热的日子？我的心在问，我的心在痛，我的心在流泪。

新中国终于成立了，西藏人民也可以结束他们那不敢想象的日子了，中央人民政府与西藏代表阿沛·阿旺晋美谈判，西藏和平解放，西藏人民终于迎来了胜利的曙光。西藏的上空阳光灿烂，西藏的人民其乐融融，人民的生活蒸蒸日上，西藏的明天更加灿烂辉煌！

回首古今，西藏是越来越繁荣，但我们在享受现今美好生活的同时，也不能忘记昨日那不堪回首的历史。感谢《走近西藏》，是它带我们重温了西藏的过去，更要感谢中国共产党，是它解放了西藏。让我们一起祝愿吧，愿西藏更加和谐，更加美丽，更加富饶，更加开放！

尊敬的各位老师和各位同学们，大家下午好：

我是来自七10班的郑静仪。今天我演讲的主题是《为梦想远航》。

海阔凭鱼跃，天高任鸟飞。每个人心中都怀揣着属于自己的梦想。同学，你有过梦想吗？

小时候我有一个梦想，我希望自己可以有许多钱。大人问：“有了钱你要做什么？”我天真地回答道：“我要买很多糖果。”的确，小时候的我们天真无邪，幸福与快乐是一曲不变的乐章；再稍微大一点，我上小学了，我希望能够成为一名班长，帮助老师管理班级；中学，梦想又变了，我不再是那个整天想着吃糖果或当班长的那个幼稚的孩子，现在的我希望可以成为一名尖子生。回到家可以受到家长的表扬，在学校可以得到老师的肯定；在同学之间有鹤立鸡群的表现。但是，渐渐地，我发现实现这个梦想不能只耍孩子气。之后，我学会了奋斗。

梦想不分大小，但它能给我们带来希望，为我们指引前进的方向。在我青春的视线内，我似乎看到了李娜的身影。当她打败斯齐亚沃尼后，幸福的倒在红土场上……法网的冠军奖杯上刻下了这样一个崭新的名字——李娜。李娜之所以能够取得令人骄傲的成绩，是因为她不懈的坚持与奋斗……在她实现梦想的过程中也曾受过伤，放声大哭过。但她仍旧坚持着自己的梦想，最终实现了它。

另一位杰出的人物是意大利的达-芬奇。他也梦想自己的未来，但他更多的是想现在该怎么做。为了练好基本功，他曾不停地画那外形单调、乏味的鸡蛋。他常说：“勤劳一日，可得一夜眠；勤劳一生，可得幸福长眠。”他憧憬一生的幸福，但却要求自己勤奋的战斗一生。行动，切实的行动，是通向梦想之门的轨道；实现梦想，是一场艰辛的无休止的马拉松赛。只有坚持才会到达顶峰。

所以，无论岁月在我们脸上增添了多少皱纹，无论世事在我们胸口划过多少道伤痕。只要我们还有呼吸的权力，就拥有重塑梦想的激情；只要我们还有生存的氧气，就拥有缔造激情的勇气。

同学们：让我们一起为梦想而拼搏吧。

我的演讲结束了，谢谢大家。

Person’s life is made up of countless days, while some days may be boring, some are precious and unforgettable memories.

July 15,XX, the day I’ll never forget. It was a sunny day, but I was anxious, nervous and meanwhile, a little excited, for I was waiting for the arrival of my university admission notice. It was not until 3 pm that I finally waited the arrival of a green mail car full of hope. Only when I got the admission notice, did I believe that I was really admitted to my dream university—…university. It not only meant my past efforts and persistence not in vain, but also meant that I would say goodbye to the dull high school life, and step into the colorful university life. I was so happy and immediately called my parents to tell them the good news, and then teachers and classmates.

What an unforgettable day!

[高一英文作文：an unforgettable day!

then, the representative of the bedroom zhu guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. he added that li xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken.

they left us all in confusion. and it was our monitor who was quickwitted. he shouted our, "the day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." the hall after that, they had another item.

this time li xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle.

while he was standing there, the other three stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. it was an idiom. this time i got it right:"the dog stands out among a group of chickens."

I opened the "our festival", the first thing I saw is the introduction of the Spring Festival. Spring Festival is one of the oldest festivals in our country. Where does my hometown show the atmosphere of the Spring Festival? Lets look at it.

Before the Spring Festival, I saw on TV that the meals in the hotel were all booked. It shows that everyone is reunited with their family. 10 days before the Spring Festival, I noticed that the traffic in the train was getting bigger and bigger, and I couldnt even buy the tickets. What was the matter? It turns out that all people in other places want to go home and celebrate the Spring Festival. So, the flow of people home is getting higher and bigger.

Before the Spring Festival, I found that there are a lot of people who sell fireworks in the street, arent there? The traditional customs of our country during the Spring Festival! On the night of the Spring Festival, in the sound of thunderous firecrackers, fireworks flashes up and radiates a variety of gleaming rings in the night sky. Some are like chrysanthemums, some are like waterfalls, others are like big trees and golden lights. Some are like small lanterns full of sky. They are really gorgeous. Thousands of spectators are cheering with loud cheers.

After the Spring Festival, the people of our country should have an atmosphere of red and red fire and joy and bustle. You see, small red couplets, firecrackers red, red paper-cut, the old man for children red envelopes, new clothes, children red, paste “ Fu ” the word red, red lanterns and red, Chinese junction is red … … … … the whole country a piece of red.

The Spring Festival is celebrating the festival, more is a good day for thousands of households together, in this new years day, people in happiness and peace with a day every year, countries better every year.

My father is 33 years old this year, Mao inch head, thin hair bare below the scalp, curved eyebrows with a pair of gold rimmed glasses, the sharp nose with a thin dark face on both sides of the small mouth, long a pair of big ears.

My father is fat and likes to eat all kinds of food. Yesterday, my mother bought a bag of snacks for my dad, when I wasnt looking, pick up a snack with relish to eat it, when I found the snacks were eaten, I looked at the table and a bunch of eat snack bags, I get gas.

This is my dad, a dad who loves snacks.

I love my dad!

In the sun, I read this thick, childhood, heart suddenly a strange shame and remorse, think of themselves and the lives of a great disparity in Gorky.

Year-old death of his father, to follow the kind of grandmother came to the grandfather"s home. Here, he knows many things, but also see a lot of things, he see the selfish, greedy, brutish, two uncles; simple friend Little Gypsy; mean, stingy, greedy, tyrannical, brutal grandfather; every day life in the cruel, stupid, infighting among family members and arguments, and from between good and evil, Alesha ignorant to understand that a number of reasons.

Compared with him together, our childhood is bright and happy; no pain and struggle, has been a carefree life. From this point on it seems we already have far cry on with Alesha, we have a lot, but we still do not know enough I just want luxury this world a better and more want.

Yes ah, we often parents do not cook, mouth open for food, only to parents for their shelter Guzhao, not herself from the world battles. Now we have to expect should repent, should not waste anything, and learn to cherish everything we have now will suffice.

From now on test, we must stand up and do not just want to experience difficulties with such a withdrawal, escape, or take a shortcut, should have confidence in ourselves, life always something or someone will give you pain and even despair, but we should be like what how the kind of insisted. In this way, you can again find joy in pain, in despair to find hope. Yes, dark past, the dawn will always come, as long as you still maintain the confidence that something is immortal, has all the treasure, then your light will come, because you know how to cherish.

Although I’m still a freshman in this new semester, I’ve learned a lot from the past few months. I chose English as my major because I extremely love this subject so that I will continuously devote myself into it. Maybe I’ve got not bad gradeslast term and it indeed inspired me to get more progress in the future. But what I know is that it’s still a long way to achieve my ultimate goal and I need to make great efforts. My dream is to be a translator, especially a simultaneous interpreter, but I knew it’s not easy to realize due to my limited knowledge now. So I need to work step by step.

Now it comes to my recent goals. Firstly, to be honest, I’m not good at oral English and English listening, I have to take a great deal of practice. What I plan is listening to the MP3 in order to imitate the foreigners’ accent and speak more in English. At the same time, I will do a lot of News dictation and English listening and comprehension to improve my skills. Secondly, to prepare the CET4 and the 2014National English Contest for College Students, I intend to memorize all the words in my vocabulary book within two or three months and finish my exercise books. Thirdly, I want to maintain my academic of my specialized course or do more better than ever before by working harder. Finishing my assignments and notes is what I need to insist on every day.

Just like the old saying goes, “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart”. I have a strong belief that I can realize my dream as long as I persist in it and study hard with plenty of time and patience.

Although every day we ate hamburgers, French fries, drink a chocolate drink, one family reunion round together, I think this is a happy life.

Mom and dad always said joy of peace, but I am very strange, it is made up of those world war?

Some time ago, a sensation in the world of the war in Iraq, I saw the Iraqi refugee camp residents on TV, where they eat, can hear the child crying every day. Look at the battlefield, many corpses lying spread all across in confusion, these soldiers land was stained with blood, and artillery bombardment of the aircraft shot down the bomb, can whenever and wherever possible sounded, oh, this is a time of peace and happiness of life?

Now TV stations are playing Taiwan every day to be independent. China is negotiating with Taiwan. I am a Chinese and have the responsibility to pay attention to national events. I think Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, even if it has not returned to the mothers embrace of the motherland, but it is the "son" of the mother of the motherland.

Television is a popular theme of Japanese television drama, I saw Chinese workers in Japan at the scene, Chinese Japanese in order to complete the project after go home, what have suffered, and hateful to Japanese after they finish the project all day I kill them, how hateful ah, I feel sad Chineses death, and pride is more Chinese firm and inflexible spirit!

I hope the world is full of peace and never have war!

What is April Fools Day and how did it begin? Well, that is a very good question. The origin of this holiday is rather uncertain. However, the common belief holds that during the reformation of the calendar the date for the New Year was moved from April 1st to January 1st. During that time in history there was no television and no radio so word spread slowly. There were also those who chose to simply ignore the change and those who merely forgot. These people were considered "fools" and invitations to non-existent parties and other practical jokes were played on them. "All Fools‘ Day" is practiced in many parts of the world with practical jokes and sending people on a fool‘s errand.

Another thought is that the origin began with the celebrations of the Spring Equinox. While some believe it has to do the a Roman festival known as Hilaria, the end of the Celtic new year.

In Scotland, April Fools Day lasts 48 hours, day two is know as Taily Day and pranks involving the posterior are played. The victim of the practical joke is referred to as "hunting the gowk"; the gowk is an extinct cuckoo bird.

In France, he is the "poisson d‘Avril" or "fish of April." The fish in April are newly hatched and easily caught. French children enjoy taping a picture of a fish on their friends back and yelling out "Poisson dAvril!" when it is found.

Da de los Santos Inocentes is held in Spain on December 28th. This is The Feast of the Holy Innocents. It‘s celebrated similarly to April Fools‘ Day with practical jokes.

In the United States, pranks are played on just about everybody. Pranks range from the standard "Your shoe is untied", to some very creative and elaborate ideas. The only "rule" is that no one should be harmed. The best jokes are when everybody including the victim laughs.

Many classmates ask me about my plan for summer holiday. How I wish I could have a colorful and fruitful holiday, so I have decided to do a part-time job during the summer vacation. On the one hand, I can earn some pocket money by doing a part-time job. I can spend them freely, because they are earned by myself. On the other hand, I can accumulate some practical experience by doing a part-time job. They can’t be learned in the class or from text books. Besides, I will go over my study and do some preview. I don’t want to waste the summer holiday.

More and more middle school students use WeChat. Different students have

different opinions about using it.

Some students think WeChat is a very useful tool. It can provide a platform

to communicate with their friends. Besides they can make more friends and learn

more knowledge by WeChat. However, some students think WeChat will affect their

study if they spend too much time using it. And they may be tricked by strange

net friends. Last but not least, it will also affect their vision to use WeChat

for a long time.

In my opinion, we should use WeChat properly by not using it more than two

hours a day, and make sure that we dont use it when we are studying. In

addition, we shouldnt add strangers or meet net friends casually.

A folk culture is a small isolated， cohesive， conservative， nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount， and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather， each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks， though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish， a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas， horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish＇s central religious concept of Demut "humility"， clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion， a variety of the Mennonite faith， provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order， and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts， "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent， usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced， is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and expressgratitude in general. It is a holidaycelebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on

September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

Thanksgiving Dayin America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holidaymeals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giantballoons.

在美国，感恩节是一个感谢恩赐，家庭团聚，合家欢宴的日子；是一个家家餐桌上都有火鸡、填料、南瓜馅饼的日子；是一个充满了印第安玉米、假日游行和巨型气球的日子。

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, which this year (2005) is November 24th.

每年十一月的最后一个星期四是感恩节，在今年（2005）则是11月24日。下面让我们来看看感恩节的由来吧：

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchantedwith the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the companys

interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

乘"五月花"来到这个国度的旅行者（朝圣者）原本是英国分离者地下x会清教徒，他们的家在英国，因不堪忍受国内的宗教迫害，他们逃亡到荷兰。在荷兰，他们享受了更多的宗教信仰自由，但最终却意识到在荷兰的这种生活方式是对他们的主的亵渎。为了寻求更好的生活，他们与伦敦贸易公司协商，由该公司资助他们到美国。在这趟旅途中，船上只有大约1/3的乘客是清教徒，其他大多数人并非分离派清教徒，而是公司雇佣来保护其利益的人员（契约奴）。

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who

had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

1620年12月11日，旅行者们在"普利茅斯石"登陆。他们的第一个冬季是灾难性的，第二年秋天来临时，原来的102名乘客只剩下56人。但1621年他们获得了大丰收，这些幸存的殖民者们决定和帮助他们度过困难的91名印第安人一起飨宴庆祝。他们相信，若没有当地居民的帮助，他们是不可能度过这一年的。这次节日的盛宴不仅仅是一个"感恩"仪式，它更像英国传统的丰收庆典。庆典持续了三天。

Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

总督布雷德福派了“四人捕鸟队”去捕捉野鸭和野鹅。我们现在并不能确定是否有野生火鸡在当时的筵席上，但筵席上肯定有鹿肉。当时，朝圣者用 "火鸡"一词来代表各种野禽。

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn

crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no

domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potatowas still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.

现在，几乎每家感恩节餐桌上都有南瓜馅饼――感恩节的另一种主食。但在当年的第一次庆典上却不可能有这种食品。因为面粉奇缺，所以面包、馅饼、糕点等食物都没有。但他们却吃了煮南瓜，并用收获的玉米制成了一种油炸面包。也没有牛奶、苹果酒、土豆和黄油。没有驯养的奶牛，自然没有牛奶；而新发现的土豆被很多欧洲人认为是有毒的。第一次庆典上有鱼、草莓、豆瓣菜、龙虾、干果、蛤、鹿肉、李子等。

This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during a severe drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain. When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradford proclaimed another dayof Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. It wasnt until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

紧接着的第二年(1622)却没有举行"感恩"庆典。到了1623年，发生了一场严重的旱灾，朝圣者们聚集到一起，举行了虔诚的祁雨仪式，刚好在第二天，一场充沛的大雨从天而降。威廉布雷德福总督宣布再次庆祝感恩节，并再次邀请了他们的印第安朋友。之后数年无感恩节，直到1676年6月，感恩节才再次被提出。 每年11月的第四个星期四是感恩节 (Thanksgiving Day) 。感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日，也是美国人合家欢聚的节日，因此美国人提起感恩节总是倍感亲切。

感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。1620年，著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他们遇到了难以想象的困难，处在饥寒交迫之中，冬天过去时，活下来的移民只有50来人。这时，心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下，移民们终于获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助，邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

在第一个感恩节的这一天，印第安人和移民欢聚一堂，他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮，列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子，虔诚地向上帝表达谢意，然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动。第一个感恩节非常成功。其中许多庆祝方式流传了300多年，一直保留到今天。

初时感恩节没有固定日期，由各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年，林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日

An October Sunrise 十月的日出

I was up the next morning be fore the October sunrise, and away through the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder heavily over the edge of grey mountain and wavering length of upland. Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped, and crept to crept to the hollow places; then stole away in line and column, holding skirts, and clinging subtly at the sheltering corners where rock hung over grassland, while the brave lines of the hills came forth, one beyond other gliding.

The woods arose in folds, like drapery of awakened mountains, stately with a depth of awe, and memory of the tempests. Autumn’s mellow hand was upon them, as they owned already, touched with gold and red and olive, and their joy towards the sun was less to a bridegroom than a father.

Yet before the floating impress of the woods could clear it self, suddenly the gladsome light leaped over hill and valley, casting amber, blue, and purple, and a tint of rich red rose; according to the scene they lit on, and the curtain flung around; yet all alike dispelling fear and the cloven hoof of darkness, all on the wings of hope advancing, and proclaiming, “God is here!” then life and joy sprang reassured from every crouching hollow; every flower, and bud and bird had a fluttering sense of them; and all the flashing of God’s gaze merged into soft beneficence.

So, perhaps, shall break upon us that eternal morning, when crag and chasm shall be no more, neither hill and valley, nor great unvintaged ocean; but all things shall arise, and shine in the light of the Father’s countenance, because itself is risen.

明天就轮到我演讲了，我又紧张又开心。这可是我第一次演讲呀，一定要好好准备。

回到家，我马上准备演讲稿，接着对着镜子开始一遍又一遍地练习，直到满意为止。

第二天，我自信满满地来到学校，上课了，演讲马上就要开始了，我紧张的心脏都快要跳出来了，我不停地跟自己说：“别慌，别慌，已经把稿子读熟了。可麻烦事发生了，我一摸兜，发现演讲稿忘带了。天哪！急的我眼泪都快掉下来了，没稿子我可怎么演讲啊，放弃？太丢人了，再说也来不及了，那就硬着头皮上吧，我战战兢兢地站在讲台上，开始了演讲。凭着记忆，我磕磕绊绊地说着，因为紧张，我老是停顿，不知道该说什么，我不敢看同学，只能看着天花板，手攥得紧紧的，都攥出汗了。忽然我大脑一片空白，一点都想不起来了，这下怎么办？我慌了神，只听见讲台下同学们小声地嘀咕着什么，我努力的让自己镇定，忽然，演讲稿的内容又回到了我的脑子里，我赶紧讲了下去，终于演讲完了，长舒了一口气，走了下来，感觉自己一下子轻松了。

第一次演讲，让我现在想起来都觉得紧张，下次演讲再也不敢忘带演讲稿了。
