梦想是什么?是对美好未来的憧憬，是前进路途的明灯，是人生宝贵的财富。苏格拉底曾言“世界上最快乐的事，莫过于为理想而奋斗”。大千世界，芸芸众生，每个人都在坚持不懈地追逐着自己的梦想。光华美高本期演讲将围绕着“长大后你想做什么”这个话题展开，大家纷纷自身的经历，在台上畅谈梦想。

光华美高顺利举行第二届英语公众演讲

本场**位选手吴同学的梦想是成为一名探险家。六年级的地理课勾起了他对世界的好奇，丰富的地理知识在他心中悄悄地埋下了冒险的种子。麦哲伦从南美洲的西班牙出发，穿越太平洋完成了人类初次环球航行;人类**次登上月球发现了很多新奇的物质，这是多么了不起的探险。在他看来，宇宙充满了很多未知，应该有更多的人去探索发现其中的奥秘。

Nature cannot accurately predict, and the power of nature is infinite. We humans should Revere nature, protect them, discover out what nature is,and help human improve them self.

第二位选手王同学先回忆了小时候父母提出的问题，引出两个概念：天生的优势和难以实现的目标，表明一个人将来想做什么不能只看到自己的空想，而要看重天生的优势和后天的努力。之后他分析了自己的情况并阐明想做一名商人的意向，并以中国古代文学家“三苏”成功的实例来说明成功的条件除了充分发挥天赋的作用外，个人后天的努力也是必不可少的。

Before I start to talk about what do I want to do when I grow up, let’s cast our mind back to the period during our kindergarten. Do you still remember someone asked you what do you want to do when you grow up? At that time, you might answer I wanted to be an astronaut, a scientist, a boss or something. But how many people can reach the goal which started from a child to an adult? I think the previous thing l said are all fantasies. Do you agree with me? Furthermore, do you think you have the capacity or the qualification to undertake the job? The words I said maybe a little wounding, but that’s real.

第三位选手虞同学的梦想是长大后做一名特许金融分析师，在演讲中他提到了培养兴趣和坚持付出对于实现目标有着不可忽视的作用。有志者，事竟成，相信每一个勇敢追梦的少年都可以心想事成。

My aim is to be a Chartered Financial Analyst. The abbreviation of that is CFA. It is the most rigorous and high qualified certificate in the global investment industry. It is called the global “financial first exam”. It sets the norms and standards for the global investment industry in terms of ethics, professional standards and knowledge systems.

第四位选手郑同学的理想是成为一名历史学家，但是同时他又有非常多的困惑，比如金钱、地位与家庭。很多时候，我们面临着舍与得的选择，如何平衡二者也是一门修养和学问，因此在演讲中他分享了自己如何最后依旧选择了自己最喜欢做的事情而没有被金钱所牵绊的经历。

I can still remember when I was in kindergarten, I dreamed of very different jobs–astronaut, pilot, soldier, entrepreneur, and so on, like other children at that age. But, in the present age, when I think about life or what I will do in the future, I become more realistic than before. I begin to consider money, status, and family. Alan watts said that if getting the money is the most important thing, we will spend our life completely wasting our time. We 'll be doing things we don't like doing, to go on living is to go on doing things we don't like doing, which is STUPID! I was very pleased to hear this passage from him because it changes my view of life, which influenced me and eventually made me want to study history or become a historian.

第五位选手叶同学认为人类要想在21世纪生存下去，必须追溯到2500年前，吸取孔子、亚里士多德、柏拉图的智慧。我们需要广泛学习，从自然科学中找到人与自然和谐相处的道路，从社会科学中总结出人类社会运行的规律，寻找可持续发展之路，从思维科学中寻找人类精神的家园。

To me I deeply believe that If human beings want to survive in the 21st century, they must go back 2500 years to absorb the wisdom of Confucius，Aristotle, Plato.Yes, we need to learn extensively, find the way of harmony between man and nature from natural science, summarize the law of human society operation from social history science, find the way of sustainable development, and find the home of human spirit from thinking science.I remember what Aristotle said: "wisdom is not only in knowledge, but also in the ability to use it." "For virtue, it is not enough for us only to know it. We must also try to cultivate it, use it, or adopt various methods to make us good people."

第六位选手陈同学认为一提及梦想，很多人也许有些茫然，但每个人终究有自己最想做的事情。于他而言，主持人就是一个大胆的挑战。一位优秀的主持人需要具备编辑、主持、才艺和控场等多种技能。具体来说，不仅要拥有广博的知识和优秀的语言水平，而且应具有随机应变和组织规划的能力。找到自己的目标，为之去拼搏，去奋斗，梦想之花终有一日会绚烂绽放。

Planning and organizing skills;5.with a distinctive personalities of the host style. Most people have your own target, working hard and I believe you will achieve it!

第七位选手王同学开场就提及今天的主题是“我长大后想做什么”，但他更喜欢把它理解为“我以后要选什么样的职业”。大家在小时候可能都有过一大堆梦想，比如说当飞行员，当宇航员或者当医生等等，但我们长大后往往就改变了志向。在成长的过程中，我们逐渐了解了这些职业的辛苦，也逐渐找到了自己真正想要从事的领域。有些梦想值得坚守，有些梦想可以改变，无论无何，最重要的是你在这世上做了什么和你在这世上留下了什么。

Topic for today is ‘What do I want to do when I grow up’. Actually, I was quite confused when I saw this topic for the first time because I am not so sure about what I’m gonna do when I grow up. Therefore, I’d love to interpret it as ‘what would be your future job’. Everyone of us has tons of dreams when we are kids. Being pilots to fly airplanes, being astronauts to control the spacecraft and find new planets for human. Being doctors to do surgeries and help patients to become healthy again. However, everything changes after we are grown up. While we were growing up, we learned the difficulties of becoming the person we once expected and achieving the goals we set when we were young. You have to be trained for a long while without being eliminated. You have to learn abundant things about astronomy and piloting a spacecraft. You still have to learn and read thousands of books and train for hundreds of thousands of times to do the surgery. We get afraid when we hear these.
