中學(xué)生英語演講:夢想成真

　　THE DREAM CAME TRUE

　　----The First Day I Work For The 2008 Olympics

　　I woke up and looked at my watch. Oh my god, it’s 7:30 already! I have to get up at once otherwise I’ll be late. Today I’ll take the Australian athletes as a tour guide around Beijing, and I’m going to be the interpreter at the Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony tomorrow. This has always been a dream of mine since Beijing won the bid of the Olympics, and now the dream has finally come true—I have already become a successful interpreter. And today is another important day of my interpreting career. I’m a little nervous but, of course, very excited. Here goes my plan for today:

　　Well, our first destination is, surely, the landmark of Beijing, the symbol of the 5000 years’ civilization—the Forbidden City—where the emperors and empresses of the Ming and Qing Dynasties lived, and it’s really grand. It was renovated recently because of the coming Olympics.

　　The second place we are going to is the Great Wall. This is the only building, I hear, that can been seen from the moon, and it represents the diligence and the wisdom of whole Chinese nation.

　　Now, it’s time for lunch. We plan to have… What? You say ”Beijing Duck”? Yeah, right you are! We’ll come back to the center of Beijing, and we’ll have dinner at “Quanjude” restaurant. You can enjoy the most delicious Chinese food—Beijing Duck, and you must be very pleased to hear this! Then I’ll show you around the Summer Palace. It’s the royal garden for the emperors and empresses of the Qing Dynasty to pass the hot summers.

　　After visiting those historical places, you’ll surely be impressed by the long-lasting history of our great country. At the same time, during the journey of moving from one place of interest to another, we won’t miss having a glance of Beijing’s modern civilization. The skyscrapers, beautiful avenues and advanced facilities must also catch your eyes. And we’ll also have a chance to experience Beijing’s fast development in person. We’ll do some shopping at the shopping center near the Olympics Village. You can buy everything there of course except guns and drugs which are seriously forbidden in China. To see is to believe. What you see and experience will be strong prove of your choice to Beijing, China!

　　That’s all about my plan for the day. What do you think of it, my friends? Today, I’m very proud to be here to give a speech about a dream, a dream for which we worked together for nine years or even more. As Beijing becomes the host city of the 29th Olympic Games, every Beijinger cares for the environment and good manners and behaviors much more than before. Now Beijing has already made herselves’ dream come true. So I must work harder to catch up with her steps. Knowing the hardness of making a dream into reality, I need to do my best at every side of my work, so then I believe my little dream—to be an interpreter—will definitely be realized someday in the future!

　　THANK YOU

　　夢想成真

　　現(xiàn)在是2008年，我已經(jīng)成為一名成功的翻譯。今天我要帶領(lǐng)來自澳大利亞的Olympics運動員們游覽北京。明天我將在2008年北京奧運會開幕式上擔(dān)任同聲翻譯，這曾是我多年的夢想，現(xiàn)在它終于實現(xiàn)了。面對今天和明天的工作，我當(dāng)然有些緊張，但也很興奮，以下是我今天的計劃。

　　我們的第一站就是北京的標(biāo)志建筑，中華五千年歷史文化的象征——紫禁城，它是明朝和清朝帝王們的居所。為了迎接北京奧運，它最近已被修繕一新。

　　我們要去的第二個地方是天壇，這是我聽說過的唯一一座能在月球上直接看得到的地球建筑，它是中華民族勤勞與智慧的結(jié)晶。

　　午餐時間，我們的目的地是全聚德餐廳，大家將會品嘗到世界上最美味的中國食品——北京烤鴨。然后我將帶大家參觀頤和園，這曾是清朝皇族們的避暑勝地。

　　通過參觀這些歷史性的建筑，相信大家一定會對中國源遠(yuǎn)流長的歷史文化留下深刻的印象，同時大家還將親自體驗現(xiàn)代北京的高速發(fā)展，相信這些摩天大樓、時尚的大道以及先進(jìn)的設(shè)施也一定會吸引大家的眼睛，眼見為實，大家的所見所聞一定會更有力的證明了大家當(dāng)初對中國北京的選擇和信賴。

　　這就是我這一天的計劃，我的朋友們，你們認(rèn)為怎么樣？相信你們一定會喜歡，并且愛上北京這座美麗的城市！
