a friend of mine named paul received an automobile from his brother as a christmas
present. on christmas eve when paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking
around the shiny new car, admiring it. is this your car, mister? he said. paul nodded. my brother gave it to me for christmas. the boy was astounded. you
mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? boy, i wish . . .
he hesitated.
of course paul knew what he was going to wish for. he was going to wish he had
a brother like that. but what the lad said jarred paul all the way down to his heels. i wish, the boy went on, that i could be a brother like that.
paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, would you like
to take a ride in my car? oh yes, id love that. after a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, mister, would you
mind driving in front of my house? paul smiled a little. he thought he knew what the lad wanted. he wanted to show
his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. but paul was wrong again.
will you stop where those two steps are? the boy asked. there she is, buddy, just like i told you upstairs. his brother gave it to him
for christmas and it didn ’t cost him a cent. and some day im gonna give you one just
like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the christmas
windows that ive been trying to tell you about. paul got out and lifted the lad to
the front seat of his car. the shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and
the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. that christmas eve, paul learned what jesus meant when he said: it is more blessed to give . . . 内容：
哥哥的心愿
圣诞节时，保罗的哥哥送他一辆新车。圣诞节当天，保罗离开办公室时，一个男孩绕着
那辆闪闪发亮的新车，十分赞叹地问： 先生，这是你的车？
保罗点点头：这是我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物。男孩满脸惊讶，支支吾吾地说：你是说
这是你哥送的礼物，没花你一分钱？天哪，我真希望也能„„ 保罗当然知道男孩他真想希望什么。他希望能有一个象那样的哥哥。但是小男孩接下来
说的话却完全出乎了保罗的意料。 我希望自己能成为送车给弟弟的哥哥。男孩继续说。 保罗惊愕地看着那男孩，冲口而出地说：你要不要坐我的车去兜风？ 哦，当然好了，我太想坐了！ 车开了一小段路后，那孩子转过头来，眼睛闪闪发亮，对我说：先生，你能不能把车子
开到我家门前？
保罗微笑，他知道孩子想干什么。那男孩必定是要向邻居炫耀，让大家知道他坐了一部
大轿车回家。但是这次保罗又猜错了。你能不能把车子停在那两个台阶前？男孩要求道。 男孩跑上了阶梯，过了一会儿保罗听到他回来了，但动作似乎有些缓慢。原来把他跛脚
的弟弟带出来了，将他安置在第一个台阶上，紧紧地抱着他，指着那辆新车。
只听那男孩告诉弟弟：你看，这就是我刚才在楼上对你说的那辆新车。这是保罗他哥哥
送给他的哦！将来我也会送给你一辆像这样的车，到那时候你就能自己去看那些在圣诞节时，
挂窗口上的漂亮饰品了，就象我告诉过你的那样。 保罗走下车子，把跛脚男孩抱到车子的前座。兴奋得满眼放光的哥哥也爬上车子，坐在
弟弟的身旁。就这样他们三人开始一次令人难忘的假日兜风。 那个圣诞夜，保罗才真正体会主耶稣所说的施比受更有福的道理。篇二：3分钟英语演
讲稿带翻译3篇 my chinese dream
我的中国梦
i am very glad to stand here to give thier a short speech.today my topic is that
the youth are the future of motherland 很高兴站在这里做这篇短小的演讲，我演讲的主题是青年是祖国的未来。 在准备英语演讲比赛的时候，我本想简单地从网上搜索一些文章作为我演讲的内容。我
看过很多文章，有著名主持人的、北大教授的、大学生的，也有初中生的。但是看完之后，
我放弃了当初的想法，我甚至为当初的想法感到有一些羞愧。因为今天我站在这里向大家演
讲的主题，是一个庄重而严肃的主题；是一个充满荣耀与自豪的主题；是每一个中华儿女共
同期盼的主题。每个人都有属于他们自己的中国梦，而我，当然也有一直萦绕在心怀只属于
我的中国梦。
so what?s my chinese dream ? finally i will announce. we had learned a lot of knowledge and understood a lot of truth in the book. we
had a basic concept to our country at that time. we know that our country is full
of sunshine , and we are the future of our country, and our dreams are to be the hope
of our motherland. 我的中国梦是什么样的？先卖个关子。 记得刚刚上学那会儿，我们天真无邪。在课本里，我们学到了很多很多知识，也明白了
很多很多道理，我们对祖国也有了一个最基本的概念。我们知道我们的祖国到处充满阳光，
正在慢慢发展，而我们，就是祖国未来的花朵，未来的希望。我们梦想将来能够成为祖国的
希望。
这，是我们最初的中国梦。最真诚的我们，最真诚的梦。 但是，不知道什么时候开始，我们长大了，生活似乎一下子变得和以前不太一样了，与
此同时，虽然我们很不想承认但是却又不得不承认的是，我们的思想，我们的为人处世观，
我们对我们祖国的看法，也潜移默化中慢慢开始了转变。我们的社会变得到处充满欺骗、冷
漠、勾心斗角、压力、腐败、险恶，我们变得暴躁，不冷静，愤世嫉俗。我们的国家，似乎
也开始变得千疮百孔。而好多我们亲爱的祖国委以重任培养的青年学生们变得轻浮、急躁，
更别提什么梦想，什么中国梦了？ are we sick, or is our dear motherland sick? 我很惊讶，当大街上有老人摔倒，我们不敢再去扶起；我很难过，当有人做了好事被报
道，更多的人说他做作；我很伤心，当我看到我们众多的青年人变得冷漠、市侩、欺诈以及
缺乏理想。
到底是我们病了，还是我们亲爱的祖国病了？ i dont want to talk about the construction of our country politics, and also speak impassioned speech on the diaoyu island event .i just want to appeal
young people,showing the side of youth,good and confidence.we must learn to organize
our own thoughts, correct our own concept, and change our direction to the right side
in future life. china dream actually lies in our young generation, especially of
the intellectuals.
我的中国梦，不想大谈政治，也不想对钓鱼岛事件发表慷慨激昂的演讲。我只想呼吁，
呼吁我们年轻人，呼吁我们祖国的希望能够将我们的青春一面，将我们的善良一面，将我们
的自信一面好好展现出来。我们要学会整理自己的思想，端正自己看问题的观念，摆正自己
的人生方向。我们的中国梦实际上正掌握在我们自己手上，掌握在我们年青一代，尤其是知
识分子手上。
也许，一个人，是渺小的；但是当他和祖国联系起来时，就是伟大的。也许，一个梦想，
是渺小的，但是当它成为祖国的梦想时，就是不可估量的。也许，我无法用自己一个人的力
量撬起整个中国，但是我们千千万万年轻人一起为祖国的梦想去奋斗时，我们的祖国就足以
令世界颤抖、动容。
i dream to construct our beauty china with millions of young people who have the
same dream. we do it without exaggeration but only with persistence. 我梦想和万千具有相同梦想的年轻人去建设我们的美丽中国，没有虚浮，只有执着，只
有奋斗，只有勇于担当。这就是我的中国梦！ that is my speech,thanks everyone. 我的演讲就到这里，谢谢大家。 we are the world ,we are the future 世界是我们的，未来是我们的 someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book,
whose pages are infinite ”. i don?t know who wrote these words, but i?ve always liked
them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. we are all in
the position of the farmers. if we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. if we
plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. 一些人说? 我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。? 我不知道谁写了这些话，但
是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。 we are young. “how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful question. to answer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word
youth? ” youth is not a time of life, it?s a state of mind. it?s not a matter of rosy
cheeks, red lips or supple knees. it?s the matter of the will. it?s the freshness
of the deep spring of life. 我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差，有很多
草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。 youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists
in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years .
we grow old by deserting our ideals. years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit
back to dust . 我们是年轻的。? 怎样度过青春?? 这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它，我首先要问? 从
‘青春’这个词中你能理解到什么?? 青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。青春
不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，。青春是生命的深泉在涌流. whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders,
the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living .
in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it
receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the
infinite, so long as you are young . a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. several days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture. i learnt a lot
there. i?d like to share it with all of you. let?s show our right palms. we can see
three lines that show how our love.career and life is. i have a short line of life.
what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way. well, let?s
make a fist. where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell me.yeah,
it is in our hands. it is held in ourselves. 一位诗人说? 从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那里
收藏? 。几天前，我有了一个听讲座的机会，从中我学到了很多东西。现在，我想把这些与大
家共享。让我们伸出右手，我们可以看到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。我
在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢? 我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。好
的，让我们一起握拳。我们的未来在哪儿? 我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿? 告诉我! 是的，它们
就在我们的手中。它们被我们自己掌握着。
