Honorable judges, dear boys and girls,good afternoon!

It is my honour to have the opportunity to deliever a speech here.Today my

topic is that“No imagination no invention”.As we know, imagination is the power

of invention,many inventions just begin with the sparking of imagination.

There is no doubt that if you could not imagine so many good inventions

would not arise. Lenin said: Imagination is extremely valuable

qualities.Imagine, if not, the world will be how to, perhaps can only be a

gray.Have imagination is the root cause of human stronger than other animals.No

imagination of human development and progress will not have any.Einsteins

theory of relativity can find because of his childlike imagination. Jobs created

Apple, but also from his simply idea and refined imagination.

But, nowadays, people gradually lose their imagination, or the imagination

of people have been killed.Under the exam-oriented education，only the standard

answer is correct, the deviated answer is wrong.This causes scores become the

dominant factor,so student had to give up their imagination,began to rote

memorization.To realize Chinas dream and the national rejuvenation, can without

imagination?

If people stopped fantasy, then this is a real sign of the decline of

humanity. Imagination is the basis for the creation of the invention. With bold

Imagination, science was evolving, with rich imagination, before the era of

constantly advancing. We should protect childrens imagination and develop their

creativity. China may create a dream realized.

尊敬的评委们，亲爱的同学们，下午好!

很荣幸有这样一个机会在这里演讲，今天我演讲的题目是:“No imagination no

invention”。众所周知，想象力是发明创造的动力，许多发明都是由想象的闪现开始的。

毫无疑问的说，如果没有想象，如此多优秀的发明就没有出现的可能。列宁说过：想象是极其可贵的品质，设想一下，如果没有想象，世界将会怎样，也许只会是一片灰色。拥有想象力是人类强于其他动物的根本原因。没有想象力的人类将不会有任何的发展与进步。爱因斯坦之所能发现相对论，就是因为他的童真的想象力。乔布斯创造了苹果，也来源于他的简约理念和脱俗的想象力。

但是，现如今，人们渐渐失去了想象力，或者说人们的想象力在不断被扼杀，应试教育下，只有标准答案才是正确的，偏离答案就是错的，这使分数成了主导因素，学生不得不放弃自己的想象，开始死记硬背，试问要想实现中国梦和实现民族复兴，没有想象力行么?

如果人们停止了幻想，那么这就是人类衰落的真正征兆。想象力是创造发明的基础。有了大胆的创想，科学才不断发展，有了丰富的想象，时代才不断前进。我们应该保护孩子们的想象力，发挥他们的创造性。为中国梦的实现创造可能。

秋天，是位魔术师，把田野染成了一片金黄；秋天，是位温柔的女子，迎面而来的秋风是如此的轻，如此的柔。下面是小编分享的关于秋天的英语作文带翻译，欢迎大家阅读！

当草开始变黄，大雁开始成群地向温暖的地方飞去时，这一切好像都在告诉我们——秋天已经来了。

秋天的天空很蓝，白云在空中悠闲的飘着。柳树和白杨的叶子都黄了，枫树叶也红了。秋天是多彩的季节。

秋天也是丰收的季节。田野时，谷物成熟了，像块金色的地毯。农民正在忙着收割。

不远的果园里，水果都熟了。红的苹果，紫的绿的葡萄，黄的梨。到处散发着芳香的气味。它们好象在招唤人们来享用美果。

充满活力的夏天是美丽的，但我认为丰收时节的秋天更迷人。

When green grass begins to turn yellow, the swallows begin to fly to the warmer places in groups, they seem to tell us autumn has come.

The sky in autumn is quite blue, and the white clouds are floating leisurely. The willow and poplar leaves turn yellow, but the maple leaves turn red. Autumn is a season of colors.

Autumn is also a harvest time. In the fields, all the crops are ripe. They are like golden blankets. The farmers are busy getting in the crops.

In the orchard not far away, all the fruits are ripe, too. They are in every color, red apples, purple and

green grapes, yellow pears, and so on. They are giving out fragrance. They seem to attract people to taste them.

Summer, full of vigor, is beautiful, but I think autumn is more beautiful because it is a harvest season.

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

In life we all have to go through failure, but failure is terrible, just keep an optimistic attitude, can overcome difficulties.

Who will be failure, some people give up after failure, however, some people maintained an optimistic attitude, fell to climb up from there. If you ask I will choose which one, I will choose the latter. If you dont believe it, then read on!

Remember once the mid-term examination, it may be because I am not serious, to solve the problem that the result is not ideal. Looking at the award-winning students happily accept, my heart is envy and regret, regret not serious. If I had some seriously, I am the one can stand on the podium. At this moment, I slammed the thought of "optimistic" this two word, I thought: in fact also nothing important, just a test, the next effort. So, I began to study strenuously. Finally, the next time the mid-term exam, I won the first place. Although this is just a simple two words - optimism, however, some people have no choice, so there is no success. But some people choose optimism and success. Like a famous writer Helen Keller, although she had polio, and dont move, however, she chose the optimism, the final success.

In the pessimistic peoples eyes, things could have been successful as it do not succeed. But in the eyes of an optimist, otherwise might not succeed, they also can do a good job. This is the biggest different optimists and pessimists. In outstanding people, it is easy to find, in failure, we can easily find pessimistic. Therefore, we must be optimistic and optimistic will bring you success.

生活中我们都会经历失败，但是，失败并可怕，只要保持着一个乐观的心态，就可以战胜困难。

谁都会经历失败，有的人失败以后就放弃了，但是，有的人就保持着一种乐观的心态，那里跌到就从哪里爬起来。如果你问我会选择哪一个，我会选择后者。如果你不信，那就往下读吧!

记得有一次期中考试，可能因为我做题时不认真，那次的成绩不太理想。看着那些获奖的同学们高高兴兴的领奖，我心里又羡慕又后悔，后悔当初不认真。如果当时我认真一些，可能站在领奖台上的人就是我了。这时，我猛的想起了“乐观”这俩个字，我就想：其实也没什么，只是一次考试而已，下次努力就行了。于是，我开始发奋学习。终于，在下一次的期中考试中，我获得了第一名。虽然这只是简单的两个字——乐观，但是，有些人就没有选择乐观，因此没有成功。但是有的人选择了乐观，从而获得了成功。就像著名的作家海伦-凯勒一样，她虽然得了小儿麻痹症，下身完全不能动了，但是，她选择了乐观，最后走向了成功。

在悲观人眼里，本来可以成功的事也把它看成做不成功的。但是在乐观者眼里，本来看似不可成功的，他们也能做好。这就是乐观者与悲观者的最大不同。在卓越的人身上，我们不难发现乐观，在失败的人身上，我们很容易发现悲观。因此，我们一定要乐观，乐观会给你带来成功。

Mother told me that we will go to Guilin for a trip today. I am very

excited because the views there are beautiful. But there is still one day to go

and I feel impatient. I think people there must be polite and so should I.

Otherwise, we couldnt get well along with each other.

今天妈妈告诉我马上我们就要去桂林玩了。我很高兴也很期待。因为那里的景色很美。但是还要等一天，我有点迫不及待了。我想，那里的人一定很有礼貌。我也要学着礼貌一点。只有这样，我们才能和睦相处。

my daily life

Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to

it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my

country. I get up at six o’clock every day. after I wash my face and brush my

teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock. after

school is over, I return home. we usually have supper at seven o’clock.then I

begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before i go to bed.

我的日常生活

虽然我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么?因为我打算做一个好学生，希望将来为国家服务。

我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上学。

放学后，我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。
