英语公众演讲

戴同学 The Interpretation of Dreams

戴同学的演讲围绕梦的解析展开，她先介绍了梦的形成原理，提到了著名心理学家弗洛伊德的心理学著作——《梦的解析》，弗洛伊德认为梦的实质是欲望的隐形表达。人们经常会做形形色色的梦，不同的梦境都有不同的寓意。戴同学以自杀和坠落的梦境为例，仔细分析了这两种梦境的起因和应对措施。最后，她还解答了很多人心中的一个小困惑——为什么我们常常会忘记自己做的梦?

The Interpretation of Dreams is one of the most famous book describing dreams. The writer of this book is Freud. He said this sentence: The essence of dream is the symbolic satisfaction of desire; in dreams, this desire is sometimes direct, sometimes indirect, and sometimes in the opposite form. This may explain why you have unexpected dreams, which may be a need or desire in your subconscious mind. You haven’t noticed it, but your dreams reflect your desires.2

戴同学 Self-recognition

戴同学以个体的自我认知为主题展开演讲。最近，有很多人对自己的表现不满，其实这是一个非常常见的现象。一个人如果努力追求一个光明的未来，一个不断的自我纠正和自我认识的过程是必不可少的。人们有很多种方式来实现良好的自我认知，比如他人的评价和自我的反省，这两种方式都能让人拥有正确的自我认知。此外，他还指出，全面了解自身性格和树立明确的人生目标对自我发展是很有帮助的。

Let me give you some faithful suggestions. It is quite important to have a deep understanding of your own characteristics so that you can deal with problems in your favorite ways. That will be awesome. Also, a definite goal is really the major in your future life. There are countless people who are doing a job that is lack of interests and passions for them. As a result, their lives are painful and dim. Thus, if you are doing something suffering and make you less interesting. Just change to a more attractive one, remember, change will never be late.3

陈同学 Environmental Protection

环境保护是全球关注的热门问题，陈同学以此为切入点，指出工业的高度发展导致生态环境正以飞快的速度被破坏。近些年，全球气候变暖，各地的高温记录经常被打破。若此形势继续恶化，沿海城市很有可能面临着被淹没的风险，北极熊也有可能失去赖以生存的家园。作为地球的守护者，我们必须立刻行动起来，去保护和捍卫我们的家园。要记住，我们只有一个地球!

After the Industry Revolution, because the negative effects of highly developed industry were not anticipated and prevention was not favorable, the environment has been destroyed at very fast speed. It can be summarized by ten main points: 1. Climate warming 2. Ozone layer destruction 3. Biodiversity reduction 4. Acid rain spread 5. Forest collapse 6. Desertification 7. Air pollution 8. Water pollution 9. Marine pollution 10. Solid waste pollution. 4

付同学 Apple

付同学以“苹果”为话题展开演讲。苹果，一种普通常见的水果，细想起来却又不那么简单。一个小小的苹果，能引发牛顿的遐想，成为发现重力的故事中不可缺少的一部分。在演讲中，付同学大胆设想，假设自己就是当年树下休息的牛顿，那历史会不会是另一番模样呢，以此引出“思考”对于人类的重要性，也引发了听众对“思考”的重新理解和认识。

Let’s imagine I was a person of the same age as Newton. If I were the man slept under the tree, then an apple fell off and hit on my head. I was forced to wake up surely. Guess what I saw? Oh, it was a handsome apple! What would I do? I think I ate the apple and went back to sleep. Another apple fell on my head an hour later. I woke up again and found it was still an apple, so I ate the apple again and went back to sleep once more. Again, a bigger apple fell down on my head. Oh Jesus, I could not even sleep! I woke up angrily and threw all the apple under the tree away, disregarding how handsome the apple was. Unfortunately, the apple hit Newton who set under another tree. You know what, his name is written in the text book once again.

最后，经过激烈的角逐，戴奕晨同学凭借着稳健的台风和出色的发挥拿下了本场演讲的**名。当然，其他三位同学成绩也十分优异。古人云：纸上得来终觉浅，绝知此事要躬行。我们坚信，只有给学生更多实践的表现机会和空间，只有让他们面对更多的挑战，他们才能勇敢地突破自我，超越自我，从而取得质的飞跃。
