大学生经典英语演讲稿：成功的定义

下载后可任意编辑 大学生经典英语演讲稿：成功的定义 善于发现，善于思考，处处都有成功力量的源泉。其实成功的本质是蕴藏在人的内心的，总想着成功的人，在什么地方都能受到启迪。以下是我分享给大家的关于成功的英文演讲，给大家作为参考，欢迎借鉴! “Once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king’s palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king’s palace came a handsome young prince.” Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess’s hand triumphantly. “很久以前，有个国王，他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战，而每一项任务都异常艰巨，几乎不可能完成。一天，来了一位年轻英俊的王子……”好了，下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同，但关键部分的情节都如出一辙：王子成功地过关，得到了公主的芳心。 And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line “And they live happily every after.” 而故事的结局也都一样，最后一句都写道：“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。 Why aren’t we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage. 为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际，而我要说，如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢？这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复？我想，因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强，具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示，我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤。第一，目标的设定，有如故事里漂亮的公主；第二，所遇到的困难和挑战，就像三大任务；第三，克服困难的过程，故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征；第四，就是成功的果实，如同幸福的婚姻。 The story not only caters to everyone’s inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father’s millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term “success”, to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy. 这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往，也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。假如通往成功的道路崎岖曲折，那么成功的回报必定硕果累累，反之亦然。假如一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足，那么，即使在物质上，他也不能算是个成功人士，因为，他的财宝并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。确切地说，“成功”这个词，不是个静态简单的定义。在我的理解中，真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。 If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal’s defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only
