英语演讲角（第1期）| 海阔凭鱼跃，天高任鸟飞
电影《 当幸福来敲门》
里说：“那些一事无成的人，想告诉你也成不了大器，别让别人告诉你你成不了才，如果你有梦想的话，就要去捍卫它。”是的，在成长的道路上，难免会有人否定你，质疑你，但给自己一点掌声，无畏的心更加坚定；给自己一点掌声，战胜内心的怯懦；给自己一点掌声，温暖独自前行的路。其实你比他人想象的更强大更优秀。2021年3月31日，我校传统外语活动——英语演讲角（speaker’s corner）在学校八方广场举行。本期主题是“I’m much better than you imagine.”（我比你想象的更优秀） ”。来自初二1班的陶紫、夏睿阳，2班的杨芊蔚，3班的唐礼蜜、刘露遥，4班的李文曦，6班的刘毅，7班的戴欣乐以及10班的程卓君和田健宇参加了本次演讲角。围绕本期的演讲主题，优秀的演讲者们在演讲中呼吁同龄人要勇敢自信，宠辱不惊。给自己一点掌声，不只是对空虚的灵魂一些填充，更是人生路上历经风雨后的一种从容、自信、欣赏以及责任。

精彩对白：
There is an I in "happiness",There is no Y in "happiness",It's an I.
幸福的幸里面是一个“幸”，不是一个“辛”。或者理解成，Y=Why=为什么，I=我。幸福里面没有为什么，只有我。放手做自己，勇敢自信，追逐梦想。

As for me, god is not fair when he creats us. People are born different, heavy or thin, tall or short, kind or selfish, good or bad, and so on. There may be geniuses, but there also are people born with disabilities. But one thing is for sure. That is, everyone is different and unique.
在我看来，上帝在创造我们的时候并不公平。我们生来就不同，或胖或瘦，或高或矮，善良或自私，好或坏等等。有人生来就是天才，但有人却可能带着残疾。但有一件事是确定的：人人生而不同。
——初2019级7班戴欣乐
I still believe that as long as I have a clear goal, never be afraid, brave strides forward and study hard, I can get good grades in the new term, and I want to tell my parents loudly that I'm better than you imagine. Because I believe I am much better than my imagination.
我坚信只要我目标明确，不再恐惧，勇往直前，努力学习，我相信我会得到好成绩的，我也可以大声的和父母说，我比你们想象的要好得多，因为我坚信我比自己想象的还要棒！
——初2019级4班李文曦
Napoleon once said, The man who has made up his mind to win will never say “Impossible”.
If you are always trying to be normal, you will never
know how amazing you are.keep trying, then, you are much better than others imagine.
拿破仑曾经说过，凡是决心取得胜利的人是从来不说“不可能的”。如果你总是试图做个普通人，你永远不会知道你有多了不起。继续努力，那么，你比别人想象的要好得多。
——初2019级2班杨芊蔚
Now there is a tough problem in front of me, math. I studied hard but I couldn't get a higher score. Very depressing. Give up? No, of course no. I have a strong belief that with my determination, I can handle it. I believe I can be better than I imagine and be better than you imagine.
现在有个难题摆在我面前—数学，我尝试努力学习但也没有取得高分数，为此我常感失落。放弃吗？不！当然不！我相信凭着我的恒心，这次我也依旧能战胜它！我相信我会比我自己想象中更好，也能比你想象中更好。
——初2019级3班刘露遥
You don't need to feel inferior for those shortcomings. You have to know, your shortcomings are like cracks, which is where the light comes in! A weakness is not a proof that you are bad. It gives you more opportunities to become better. Believe it or not, you are more powerful than you think.
你不需要为那些缺点而自卑，你要知道，你的缺点就像一道道裂缝，那是光照进来的地方啊！所谓的缺点不是证明你不好，而是给了你更多机会变得更好。不管你信不信，你比你想象的更强大。
——初2019级1班夏睿阳
We will always meet difficulty, but we can’t be afraid of that. It’s not a strong girl or boy do. How strong you are depends on how brave you are. Try your best and you will find that you are much better than you imagine!
我们总会遇到困难，但是惧怕和逃避不能成为我们的选择。你有多勇敢，你就会有多厉害。所以相信自己吧，相信自己比你所想象的更好！
——初2019级10班程卓君
The person you should try to be better thatis the person you were yesterday.
你唯一应该试着去超越的人，是昨天的自己。
——初2019级6班刘毅
Even a person grumpy and annoying as he is willing to do what he can to save whome he loves from danger and pain. He is not the one people used to know. He is much better than others imagine.
即使一个卑劣至此的人也愿意尽其所能去拯救起所爱之人，使之免于危险痛苦。他并不是通常人们所想之人。他比我们想得更好！
——初2019级3班唐礼蜜
Mom, I know I'm not good enough in your eyes, but I will try to be better and better. In fact, I have tried. I am trying and I will keep on trying. Mom, could you trust me? Could you praise me? Could you please be proud of me, even once? I'm not as bad as you think. I'm not as lazy as you thin. I'm much better than you imagine!
妈妈，我知道在你眼中我不够好，但是我会努力变好。事实上，我努力过、在努力、以后也会努力。妈妈，你能相信我吗？能表扬我吗？能以我为荣吗，哪怕一次？我没有你想得那么糟糕，也没有你想得那么懒惰。我比你想得要好得多！
