GivingisReceiving—PersonalGrowthinvolunteerWork奉献即有收获—“21世纪联想杯”全国英语演讲比赛冠军演讲Morning,ladiesandgentlemen.早上好，女士们先生们。Lastsummer,IvolunteeredtoworkasanEnglishteacherinaprimaryschoolforchildrenofmigrantworkers.去年夏天，我自愿在一所外地农民工子弟小学当起了一名英语教师。Tobeaccurate,Ididn’tvolunteer.Iwasdraggedin.（literally）确切的说，我并不是自告奋勇去参加的。我其实是被拽着参加的。（从字面上说）Whenmyfriendfirsthitupontheideaofthisproject,Iwasallagainstit:"What?Tospendmyvacationstandingintheheat,当我的朋友首次提出参加这个计划时我是完全反对的：“什么？让我整个暑假冒着酷暑，Yellingatabunchofnine-year-oldswhocouldn’tevenspeakproperMandarinChinese?Andbesides,there`snopayformytoil.No,Iamdefinitelynotgoing.”对着一帮9岁大的小孩大声嚷嚷，他们甚者连普通话都说不标准。而且我的辛苦工作是无偿服务。不，我绝对不会去的。”Butmyfriendtwistedmyarmstohavemejointhem.但是在朋友的坚持下，我还是去了。Unexpectedly,thefirstlessonItaughtturnedoutalessonforme.出乎意料的是，我的第一节课却变成了我的一课。ThemomentIsteppedintotheshabbyclassroom,Iwastoucheddytheloud,respectfulvoicesinunison:“Goodmorning,teacher!"当我踏进那间破旧的教室，我被一阵充满敬意，整齐的喊声深深打动了。“老师，早上好！”Insteadoffoolingaround,thechilendwerethirstyforknowledgeandefficientinabsorbingeveryingIwasabletogivethem.这些孩子没有四处打闹，对知识如饥似渴的他们有效地吸收我交给他们的知识。ThismademedespisemyselfforIhadn’tevenpreparedfortheclass.让我鄙视自己，因为我事前根本没有备课。Duringthebreak,Ileanedoverthesqueakydesk,chattingwithasweatyboyinthefrontrow:"Withoutair-conditioning,it`sreallyhothere.Areyoutired?"课间休息时，我靠在一张吱吱作响的桌子旁，与前排一位满头大汗的男孩子聊天：“这里没有空调，实在太热了，你感到热吗？”"Notatall,"saidhe,shakinghishead."It`sfinehere.MyDadbuildsasphaltroads.Thatisreallytiringandhot."“一点都不，”他摇摇头说，“这里很好。我爸爸在修沥青公路。那里才是真的又热又累人。”Assummeradvanced,myenthusiasmasateachergrew.随着夏天的推移，我作为一名老师的热情在上涨。Ipreparedmylessoncarefullyandevenusedsomemethodsmyteachersused.我认真的备课，甚至采用了一些我老师曾经用过的教学方法。Iorganizedmanygroupactivitiestogivethekidsfun.Strangelyenough,theheatwasalsobecominglessandlessunbearable.我组织了许多小组活动让孩子们玩得很开心。奇怪的是，这酷暑热浪也逐渐让人能忍受了。Soon,myone-monthvolunteerworkcametoanend.不久，我为期一个月的志愿活动接近尾声。WhenIwasleavingmylastclass,Iturnedbackandsawsmilingfacesandwavinghands.当我结束作何一节课时，我转身，看到那张张笑脸和学的挥动的手。NeverbeforehadIeverhadsuchafeelingofsadness,whichwas,nevertheless,mixedwithasenseofenrichment,fulfillmentandhappiness.我从未感到过如此伤心，但是这种感觉却夹杂着充实,满足和幸福。Iwaspaidformywork,amplypaid,notintermsofmoney,butsomethingmorevaluable.我的工作得到了回报，而且获益很大。这种报偿不是用金钱来衡量的，而是其他一些更加珍贵的东西。MyEnglishwasimproved.Iwasabletoteachit,althoughnotveryprofessional.Ilearnedaboutthegrassroots-levelsociety.我的英语水平得到了提高。虽然不是很专业，但我可以胜任这份教学工作了。我了解到了基层社会。Insidemyselfaheartisgrowing,aheartthatnotonlybeatsformyself,butcaresforothersaswell.我的内心激情澎湃，这不单单是对自己的鞭策，也是在关心着其他人。Thevolunteerworkgavemeapreciouslittlechancetosaythankstopeoplelikethelittleboy’sfather,这次志愿工作给我一次难得的机会向诸如那位小男孩的父亲一样的人们表达谢意。Whoconstructhighwayssanundergrounds,buildupmodernskyscrapers,andmakeourcitiesmoreandmorebeautiful.他们修建高速公路和地铁、建设现代化摩天大楼，让我们的城市越来越漂亮。TohelpthechildrenwiththeirEnglishwasallIcoulddo,atpresent,toshowmygratitudetotheseunsungheroes.而要表达我对这些无名英雄的感激之情，我目前力所能及的事情只是给他们的小孩教英语。Theworldmaynothavebeenfairtothem,这个世界对他们可能不太公平，Soprivilegedandblessedpeoplelikemeareobligedtodowhateverwecantohelpmaketheirlifebetter.所以我们这些幸运和幸福的人有义务尽我们所能，让他们生活的更好一些。WhatIever[whatever]Idoforthem,however,然而，我所做的事情微不足道Iknowitcannotbecomparedwithwhattheyhavedonetoimprovethequalityoflifeinourcities.我知道，比起他们为提高无名的城市生活质量所做的贡献。Ladiesandgentlemen,nowrealizethatvolunteeringshouldn’tbeaone-timepersonalexperience.女士们先生们，现在我意识到志愿活动不应该是一次个人经历。Itshouldbealifetimeactivityofeverybody.这应该成为每一个人的一种终生行为。Manyofusarenowofferingassistancetotheneedyandtoeachother,andoureffortshaveindeedmadeadifference.现在我们中的很多人都在为彼此和那些需要帮助的人提供援助。我们这些努力确实是能改变现状。Whetherwearehelpingchildrenwiththeirschooling,orcaringfortheelderlyinnursinghomes,andhelpingoutin2008BeijingOlympics,不管我们是在教育方面帮助孩子还是在敬老院照顾老人们，或者参加2008年北京奥运会的志愿活动，Wewellnotonlycontributetotheharmonyoftheworldbutelevateourselvesaswell.这些都不只是为社会的和谐贡献自己的力量，同时也是在提升袭击的道德修养。Emersononcesaid,:“It’soneofthemostbeautifulcompensationsofthislife爱默生曾经说过：“此生最美好的一种报偿就是，thatnomancansincerelytrytohelpanotherwithouthelpinghimself.”Hewasright.任何对别人的真诚帮助必然也是对自己的帮助。”他是对的。Ihearthatmyuniversityisgoingtoorganizeanthervoluntaryteachingprogramthissummer.我听说学校今年夏天将组织另一次义务教学活动。ThistimeIwon’tbedraggedin.Iwillvolunteer.这一次我不会再被拽着参加了。我会自告奋勇。Thankyou.谢谢。

HOST: Thank you contestant number 5. Euthanasia is a way of relieving ill people’s pain and saving them from the tortures of their illness. Do we have the right to take people’s lives for this reason? Or should the right to die be considered a “right” for terminally ill patients? CHEN: Thank you very much for the question. “When I am dead ,my dearest,sing no sad songs for me.Plant thou no roses at my head,no shady cypress tree.Be the green grass above me with showers and dewdrops wet.And if thou wilt, remember.And if thou wilt,forget.” For many,death is not frightening. For many,death is beautiful. For many ,suffering from incurable deadly diseases ,death is a longing .But no matter what they think ,we can’t make the decision for them .Death is their own business . Whether for good intention or bad ,if we decide to take another person’s life ,it’s murder .We take it for granted that people suffering from terminal diseases ,want to die .Perhaps it might be so ,in some cases ,but how are we to tell ? We can’t make the decision for others .Many old people ,suffering from Alzheimer’s ,seem to be living a most pitiable life to us. They no longer even recognize the beloved ones around them .But perhaps they’re enjoying their life ,because they are now cut off from any worldly affairs and problems. They are kind of reliving their childhood.They are ,perhaps ,enjoying it .We can’t terminate their life . Some people ,suffering from cancer ,seem to be living most painful life to us ,with all these torturing treatments and the prospect of death in front of them . But ,perhaps ,deep down in their heart ,they want to go on ,they want to live ,they want to fight ,they want to feel every bit of sunshine on earth ,and hear the pitter-patter of rain in spring . Some people ,vegetable people ,can’t express themselves ,and to us they are not even living a life .But how are we to know that they want to die ? Perhaps ,deep down in their heart ,they want to struggle ,they want to see life conquering death . And ,besides,miracles do happen now and then .There are cases that when a vegetable person is wakened from his long slumber by love and caring ,if we rob him of that chance ,we are committing murder .We are extinguishing hope . If we make the right to take another person’s life away illegal ,I shudder to think what the consequences will be .Perhaps some family ,tired of taking care of an old person ,might get rid of him for that reason . Perhaps a family full of daughters ,sons ,granddaughters ,grandsons ,gaping at the inheritance ,will want to get rid of the old person for that reason . I really shudder to think the consequences. No ! If I want to die ,it’s my own business .No one is going to take that decision for me .Yes ,death might be a beautiful journey after the experience we have on earth ,but I don’t want to be hurried onto that journey by anybody else . If I am determined ,my life is terminated by another person ,I will rise from my grave and haunt that person ,“…and he will always feel the shadows ,he will always feel the rain ,and he will always hear the nightingale weep on ,as if in pain .” Thank you .
