What College Education Means to Me
大学教育对我的意义
The title of my speech is "What college education means to me".Nowreflecting on the past two and half years of my college experience, I come torealize how much it has shaped me.
今天我演讲的题目是“大学教育对我的意义”。回顾思索着逝去的两年半的大学生活，我渐渐认识到大学教育对我产生的巨大影响。
For me, college education is a marvelous ship-builder who designed me fromkneel plates up.
对我来说，大学教育犹如一位技艺精湛的造船师，从船头至船尾地塑造了我。
With great vision, college education has equipped me, first with a powerfulpropeller----the sophisticated knowledge in certain field and wide exposure toother disciplines. By dedicating myself to the engineering courses in the dayand immersing myself in the rich banquet of the world literature at night, I'veamassed the driving force for the future and enriched my soul.
首先，具有远见卓识的大学教育为我装配了一只马力强劲的推进器;精深的专业知识及广博的课外知识给我带来无限动力。白天我全神贯注地研习自己的工科课程，晚上则尽情享受世界文学所带来的盛宴，在此过程中，我既为未来积聚了力量，又充实了自己的灵魂。
Besides, college education has also provided me with a precisecompass----the sense of social responsibility. How can I best serve the interestof the public while achieving my self-fulfillment? My one year's experience as apart-time English teacher has testified: to be valuable to society as well as tofind my place, I have to possess some actual strength and the ability tofunction well in the most challenging situation. Amid the hectic schedule thatbalances club activities, sports, and academic courses, I feel the rhythm andbeauty in the intensity of my high-pitched life, knowing that I 'm on the rightway.
此外，大学教育还为我提供了一个精确的罗盘，即社会责任感。“如何才能在实现自我价值的同时最大限度地服务于社会?”我一年的兼职英语教师的经历证明：只有拥有过硬的实力和对高挑战性局面应付自如的能力，我才能成为一个对社会有价值的人，一个找到自己位置的人。在协调着社团活动、体育运动和专业课程的忙碌日程中，我感受到了高节奏、高密度生活的韵律与美丽。
And more importantly, college education has set up not only single ships,but also fleets with common destinations. By interacting with friends of commonbeliefs, I've acquired skills of relating to other people.
更为重要的是，大学教育不仅仅制造了一只只单个的船只，他还组建了一支支驶向同一目的地的大舰队。在与志趣相投的朋友们的相处、融合中，我锻炼了与人交往的能力。
Now ,as a ship about to make my maiden voyage, I'm still not in theposition to tell what's waiting ahead of me ,but with a powerful propeller, aprecise compass and ardent companions of sailing in the sea of society, I'mready to be a great sea-explorer.
现在我即将作为一只巨轮开始我的首航，尽管前方的情况还无法预料，我却有充足的信心作一名出色的海洋探索者，因为我有强劲的推进器、精确的罗盘，还有一帮与我同行 、一起驶向社会之洋的热心朋友!
Thank you.
谢谢大家!

We live in the world every day. We eat food, drink water, wear clothes,watch TV, use puters and so on. We are producing waste every moment.
Generally speaking, there are four sorts of waste. They are material waste,organic waste, inorganic waste and poisonous harmful waste. Now, we aregoing to talk about each sort of waste one by one. Material waste: it means the waste of substance or things from whichsomething else can be made. For example, people throw away the used metalproducts and buy a new one, so the old metal waste accumulates. At last, e waste. For example, when people finish reading newspaper, the paper e waste. When the glass is broken, it also es waste. Nobody wants touse a broken window or drink with a broken glass or wear a pair of brokenglasses. Once it is broken, it es waste. The rate of using plastics isincreasing day by day. People use plastic bags because they are convenient. Whenthey get home, they throw the plastics way, paying no attention to theenvironment. The more convenience plastics brings to us, the more plastic wasteis produced. This is called “white pollution” as most plastics are white. Someof our products we use every day are made of rubber, just like the tyres and thebottom part of our shoes. It’s true that rubber plays an important role in ourlife. However, it also brings us some trouble when it has been used for a longtime and es old. The old tyres e waste because it can’t break down bynature. This is really a big problem.

I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart,the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind. So I dance daily.
The seldom-used dining room of my house is now an often-used ballroom — anopen space with a hardwood floor, stereo, and a disco ball. The CD-changer hassix discs at the ready: waltz, swing, country, rock-and-roll, salsa, andtango.
Each morning when I walk through the house on the way to make coffee, Iturn on the music, hit the "shuffle" button, and it's Dance Time! I dance aloneto whatever is playing. It's a form of existential aerobics, a movingmeditation.
Tango is a recent enthusiasm. It's a complex and difficult dance, so I'm upto three lessons a week, three nights out dancing, and I'm off to Buenos Airesfor three months of immersion in tango culture.
The first time I went tango dancing I was too intimidated to get out on thefloor. I remembered another time I had stayed on the sidelines, when the dancingbegan after a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete. The fancy footworkconfused me. "Don't make a fool of yourself," I thought. "Just watch."
Reading my mind, an older woman dropped out of the dance, sat down besideme, and said, "If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not,you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?"
And, she said she had a secret for me. She whispered, "If you do not dance,we will know you are a fool. But if you dance, we will think well of you fortrying."
Recalling her wise words, I took up the challenge of tango.
A friend asked me if my tango-mania wasn't a little ambitious. "Tango? Atyour age? You must be out of your mind!"
On the contrary: It's a deeply pondered decision. My passion for tangodisguises a fearfulness. I fear the shrinking of life that goes with aging. Ifear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances. I fear thedying that goes on inside you when you leave the game of life to wait in thefinal checkout line.
I seek the sharp, scary pleasure that comes from beginning something new —that calls on all my resources and challenges my mind, my body, and my spirit,all at once.
My goal now is to dance all the dances as long as I can, and then to sitdown contented after the last elegant tango some sweet night and pass on becausethere wasn't another dance left in me.
So, when people say, "Tango? At your age? Have lost your mind?" I answer,"No, and I don't intend to."

我相信，随着心跳、脉搏以及心中的音乐去跳舞是我的天性。所以我每天都跳。
我屋子里那个很少使用的餐厅，现在经常被用来作“舞厅”——一个铺着硬木地板、配有立体音响装置的迪厅。我的换片箱里备好了6张碟片：华尔兹、摇摆、乡村、摇滚、萨尔萨和探戈。
每天早上，在去煮咖啡的路上，我都把音乐打开，并摁下“随机”键。跳舞的时间到了!不管放的是什么曲子，我都会随着曲子独自起舞。这是一种关乎存在的增氧运动，一种动起来的沉思。
探戈最近很火爆。这是一种很复杂的比较难跳的舞，所以我一周要上三次课，花三个晚上出去跳舞，我还打算去布宜诺斯艾利斯待三个月，接受探戈文化的浸礼。
第一次去上探戈舞蹈课的时候，我非常害怕，都不敢到地板上去。我还记得，有一次，在希腊克里特岛上，一场乡村婚礼之后，舞会开始了，而我却一直待在旁边不敢跳。那高超的步法让我眼花缭乱。“别做傻事了，”我想，“就看看吧。”
一位年龄比我还大的女士看出了我的想法，她从舞场中退出来，坐在我旁边说，“如果加入这场舞会，你会觉得很傻。如果你不加入，你一样会觉得很傻。既然这样，干吗不跳?”
然后，她说她要告诉我一个秘密。她低声说道：“如果你不跳，我们就会知道你是个傻瓜。可是如果你跳了，我们就会因为你的尝试而觉得你很棒。”
听了这席话，我接受了探戈的挑战。
一个朋友问我，我对探戈的嗜好是不是有点儿太狂野了。“探戈?你这个年龄?你一定是精神不正常了!”
恰恰相反：这是我深思熟虑之后的决定。我对探戈的热情掩盖了一种害怕。我害怕生命随着年龄的增长而缩短。我害怕因为不再学习、不再冒险而产生的无聊。我害怕在退出生命之局而等着末日审判的过程中，你体内发生的死亡。
我追寻那种随着新事物而产生的，尖锐而略带惊吓的喜悦——这就要求我全身心投入，对我的心智、身体和勇气同时进行挑战。
我现在的目标就是：跳完所有我能跳的舞蹈，然后，在某个甜蜜的夜晚，跳完最后一支优雅的探戈后，满意地坐下来，离开世界——因为我体内没有一支没有跳过的舞了。
所以，当人们说，“探戈?你这个年龄?精神不正常吧?”我便回答：“没有啊，我可不想不正常。”

When a variety of problems plague the information systems, the critical importance of information security becomes the focus of people's concern. It does deserve the unprecedented emphasis. It is widely accepted that information security, to some extent, outweighs other spheres in the field of information. So the related authorities, enterprises, institutions and organizations place the high priority on it.
Information Security concerns a range of problems- information interception, loss, damage etc. Business and military information leakage will have an devastating impact. For the information owners and monitors, they must drive their efforts to enhance the security protection and maintenance. For example, a strict control over the access to the secret data shouldn't be absent. The network and software provider should take a set of tailored protection measures targeting different computer crimes. The security issues should be also considered at the legislative level, so we are clamoring for a law designed to clamp down on various cyber crimes.
鼠疫信息系统各种问题时,至关重要的信息安全成为人们的关注的焦点。它应该得到前所未有的重视。人们普遍认为信息安全,在某种程度上,比其他领域领域的信息。所以有关部门、企业、机构和组织的优先。
信息安全问题的一系列问题——信息拦截、丢失、损坏等。商业和军事信息泄漏将产生毁灭性的影响。信息所有者和显示器,他们必须推动他们努力提高安全保护和维护。例如,一个严格控制访问机密数据不应该缺席。网络和软件提供商应该采取一系列的保护措施针对不同的计算机犯罪。安全问题应该也考虑在立法层面上,我们强烈要求法律旨在取缔各种网络犯罪。

Everybody is afraid of failure, because it means what they do is useless and they waste their energy and time. But people get the wrong idea about failure, in fact, failure is also success. If people want to be successful, they need to take action. Failure at least means people have tried to do, what’s more, people can learn from their unsuccessful experience, so that they can improve their methods. Every failure means the closeness of success, we should take the positive attitude to failure, we can get over it soon and people finally can get the victory. So when we meet the difficulties, don’t be afraid of the bad result, just take action.
每个人都害怕失败，因为那意味着他们所做的是没有用的，浪费了时间和精力。但是人们对失败的看法是错误的，事实上，失败也是成功。如果人们想要成功，他们需要行动。失败至少意味着人们已经尝试去做，而且，人们能从他们不成功的经验中学习，这样他们才能改进方法。每个失败意味着与成功的靠近，我们应该乐观对待失败，快速克服失败，最后人们才能得到胜利。所以当我们遇到困难了，不要害怕不好的结果，要行动起来。

20xx年来，魏国强(音译)的目光一直没有离开过中国足球，但值得庆祝的理由却是少之又少。
"It's like the Chinese saying; 'you always think your children are the most beautiful no matter how ugly they are,'" the 30-year-old education specialist told CNN in Beijing.
“中国有句俗话：‘母不嫌子丑，狗不嫌家贫，’ 我对中国足球也是这样的心情。” 这位30岁的教育专家在北京接受CNN采访时说。
Dogged by poor performances on the pitch and corruption scandals off it, the Chinese game has been far from beautiful.
绿茵场上球员的欠佳表现和一些贪腐丑闻，中国足球一直不被看好。
But die-hard soccer fans like Wei finally have something to cheer about.
但是像魏先生这样的死忠球迷终于等到了这样一个欢呼雀跃的时刻。
Guangzhou Evergrande, a soccer team based in the southern city of Guangzhou, became Asian champions on Saturday, beating South Korea's FC Seoul to claim China's first continental title in 23 years in a stadium packed to capacity with fans wearing the team's blood-red colors.
11月9日星期六，来自南方城市广州的俱乐部球队广州恒大，在坐无虚席、尽是恒大鲜红球迷的主场击败韩国首尔FC，荣获亚冠联赛冠军，这也是中国足球在20xx年以来夺得第一个亚洲冠军。
"They are persistent and never surrender," said Wei, who watched the match on television at home.
“他们坚持不懈，从不言弃，” 魏先生说，他在家中的电视机前观看了比赛直播。
Evergrande will now play in the FIFA Club World Cup in December, pitting the team against the likes of German giants and reigning European champions Bayern Munich. Previous winners of the tournament include Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona.
今年12月恒大还将出征国际足联世界俱乐部杯，有机会与欧冠强队、德国劲旅拜仁慕尼黑场上较量。世俱杯之前的冠军得主有切尔西、曼联和巴塞罗那等。
China last tasted international success at club level in 1990 when Liaoning lifted the trophy of the now expired Asian Club Championship. Its national team has also punched below the country's weight.
中国最近一次品尝国际俱乐部级的成功是在1990年，辽宁队举起了亚洲足球俱乐部冠军联赛(现已停办)的奖杯。国家队一直没有令人瞩目的表现。
Despite being one of the country's most popular sports -- President Xi Jinping is said to be a big fan -- China failed to qualify for the 20xx World Cup and did not enter the running for the 20xx tournament.
尽管足球是中国最受欢迎的体育项目之一——据说也是足球迷——但中国没有打入20xx世界杯，也没有入围20xx年世界杯承办权的角逐。
Evergrande's rise to the top of Asian football has been fast and furious and some say it could be Asia's first "superclub."
恒大以迅雷不及掩耳之势跃居亚洲足球之冠，有人说，它可能成为亚洲第一家“超级俱乐部”。
In early 20xx, the team was bought by Xu Jiayin, the boss of property developer Evergrande Real Estate Group and China's 13th richest man, according to Forbes.
20xx年初，福布斯中国富人榜名列13的恒大地产集团老板许家印出手买下这支球队。
He paid 100 million yuan ($16.4 million) for the club, shocking many as the team had recently been relegated to the second division of China's league. In 20xx, they won the Chinese Super League and claimed the league title for the third time this year.
他为俱乐部投入1亿人民币(合1千4百万美元)，这样的大手笔让许多人吃惊不小，因为这支球队当时刚被降级中甲。20xx年，他们重返中超夺冠，并在今年第三次蝉联冠军。
Dong Jianzheng, an editor at the Chinese-language World Soccer Magazine, credits Xu's deep pockets as the main reason for the team's success.
《足球世界》杂志中文版编辑董建峥将该球队的成功归功于许家印的经济实力。
The club has spent at least 1.5 billion yuan ($250 million) in the past three years, according to The China Daily, recruiting domestic stars and foreign players like Brazilian striker Muriqui. The team is led by Marcello Lippi, who coached the Italian team that won the 20xx World Cup.
根据《中国日报》的报道，恒大在过去的3年里至少花掉15亿元人民币(合2亿5千万美元)，招募国内球星和巴西中锋穆里奇等外援。该队的主教练马尔切洛·里皮曾率意大利队问鼎20xx年世界杯。
"The Evergrande model is similar to Chelsea and Manchester, where they win simply because they invest," Dong told CNN.
“恒大模式类似于切尔西和曼联，他们赢，只因为舍得下本钱投资，” 董先生接受CNN采访时说。
"They have a strong team and a large number of foreign players. They are good because they dare to throw in their money." But he said Evergrande's success doesn't represent the big picture.
“他们有实力强大的球队，有很多外援加盟。他们之所以出色，因为敢于砸钱投资。但是，他说恒大的成功并不代表大环境。
A bribery investigation that led to several players, referees and managers serving jail terms has left many fans disillusioned with the Chinese game.
中国足球贪污受贿案将一些球员、裁判和经理人送进监狱，导致许多粉丝不再对中国足球抱有幻想。
Rowan Simons, the author of "Bamboo Goalposts: One man's quest to teach the People's Republic of China to love football", says corruption reaches down to the sport's grassroots, which suffer from a lack of investment.
《足球无疆》的作者罗文·西蒙斯说，足球投资匮乏，腐败侵蚀到了足球运动的根基。
"Parents will bribe the coach to get (their child) into the team, teams will bribe the referee to win the game," said Simons, who has lived and played football in China for more than 20 years.
“父母向教练行贿，这样他们的孩子才能进球队，球队行贿裁判赢球，” 住在中国与中国足球打了20多年交道的西蒙斯说。
Hopes are high that Evergrande's arrival on the international soccer stage will give a much-needed boost to the country's football system.
恒大登上国际足球舞台将给予中国足球体制亟待的推动，人们对此寄予厚望。
The president of the Asian Football Confederation, which runs the region's premier tournament, said that Evergrande's win would infuse new life into Chinese football and spread the game to a wider audience.
亚洲足联主席表示，恒大的成功将为中国足球注入新活力，吸引更多的观众。亚足联主要负责举办地区性的重要足球赛事。
"I am confident that this will benefit not only the Chinese Super League but also the national team in a big way," said Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim.
“我相信，这一成功不仅对中超而且对国家队都极为有利，” 亚足联主席谢赫萨尔曼·本·易卜拉欣说。
But they will have a hard time convincing fans like Cui, an engineer, who spends his spare time glued to the English Premier League, Europe's UEFA Champions League and Spain's La Liga.
但是他们想拥有像崔工程师一样的球迷还有很长一段路要走，崔先生把业余时间都花在看英超联赛、欧冠比赛和西甲联赛上。
He says he won't make the effort to watch Evergrande's FIFA Club World Cup match against Egyptian side Al Ahly in December. "The time difference is a challenge, but I still choose foreign matches because they are much more professional," he told CNN.[
他说，他对12月的俱乐部世界杯恒大对埃及阿赫利的比赛兴趣不大。“尽管时差是一大挑战，但是我仍然选择外国的球赛，因为他们专业得多，”他告诉CNN。

In this symposium, better is it to only sit in silence. To express ones feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task. That I would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener-in: the riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal, there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill, there is time to hear the kind voice of friends, and to say to oneself, the work is done. But just as one says that, the answer comes, the race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains.
The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest; it cannot be while you still live. But to live is to function, that is all there is in living. So I end with a land from a Latin voice: death, death, clutches my ear, and says, live, I am coming.--By Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Distinguished parents: good afternoon ladies and gentlemen thank you for your time to attend today's symposium today to attend the parents of the child belong to different degrees of obesity children's parents. Hope that through today's lecture help parents and children. As people living standard unceasing enhancement parenting and children's dietary structure changes nutrient rich combined with the only child's special status and unscientific feeding incidence of childhood obesity is gradually increasing. We are beginning to realize that: childhood obesity is not a lovely sign obese children in the study character and life and so on various aspects will have a lot of inconvenience. Thick Samuel therefore we should not rain completes the relevant publicity and education work take the necessary preventive measures in order to effectively control the occurrence ji. Kindergarten is important place the growth of preschool children's life so make good FeiPanEr project management and the prevention and control work is our kindergarten care teachers bounden duty.
In order to reduce and prevent children get fat we together with parents to discuss several problems: such as: what is the simple obesity? Simple obesity causes? Standards of obesity? Obesity can bring what harm? How to treat and so on. 1 what is the simple obesity? Obesity is due to the heat energy metabolic disorders the consumption of calories more than heat cause the body fat accumulation.
Childhood obesity has two season:
(1) infancy (that is within one year of age). In infancy the activities of the child is small have a long sleep eat nutritious food and some parents give their children eat don't control children eat a cry to him so it is easy to cause obesity. In infancy is fat children in two or three years later with the increase of children range range expansion obesity can be improved. But there are also children continue to get fat has maintained into adulthood.
(2) the early school age (i.e. 5-8 years). Moderate above simple obesity of children age began to get fat is mostly in the 5 s the obesity of children this period is mainly caused by bad way of life: on the one hand the traditional diet habits in affects children if eat and drink too much eating and drinking; On the other hand the western dietary patterns are interfered with domestic children's diets such as too much sweet food and western fast food drink soft drinks cause excessive intake of calories and exercise less over a long period of time. As a result the extra calories to fat obesity. In obese children in China we found that obese children love to eat all kinds of meat sweet love to drink good appetite eat fast don't want to eat vegetables. Cause the cause of obesity in addition to the thermal energy intake too much too little exercise meditation time too long wait for a reason genetic endocrine disorders can also cause obesity.
2 simple obesity causes?
(1) genetic factors. According to the relevant information the parents have the obesity the possibility of children obesity has 32 ~ 34%; Both parents are obese the incidence of child obesity increased to 50 ~ 60%. On the other hand 72% of fat children parents have at least one person also have obesity. And now have found a variety of genes associated with obesity.
Diction is eating too much and overnutrition. Obese children tend to eat a lot of high fat food sweet food especially the unlimited access to eat snacks and drink sweet drinks and these can cause obesity.
(3) movement. Parents were busy with work no time to accompany children play together always let the children stay at home such as TV children can not get enough exercise gradually becomes less physical static activities more and more such as watching TV playing video games and so on these can make children reduce activity fat growth. Fat kid inactivity inactive children become more fat the result is a vicious circle.
(4) parents have the wrong idea. Especially the parents of obese children think children as long as can eat is a good thing so the easiest way to produce a obese children.
(5) the poor eating habits. Investigation shows that the more the more obese likes to eat meat don't like to eat vegetables such as child piddle parents aren't paying attention. In addition children inadvertently desperately eat more snacks get into the habit of snacking so poor eating habits will appear fat. So for children's obesity should be in many ways to find the reason targeted for treatment.

A general dictionary defines teamwork as a "Cooperative or coordinated effort on the part of a group of persons acting together as a team or in the interests of a common cause unison for a higher cause people working together for a selfless purpose and so on."Applied to workplaces teamwork is a method that aligns employee mindsets in a cooperative and usually selfless manner towards a specific business purpose.
Today there is no business or organization that does not talk about the need and value of teamwork in the workplace. While the concept of teamwork and its benefits are well known and talked about it is very rare to see it being practiced truly in reality. And you may have often noticed what appears outwardly as teamwork is not really teamwork internally. Some things cannot be accomplished by people working individually. Larger more ambitious goals usually require that people work together with other people. Because of this teamwork is a desired goal of many businesses and organizations today. Projects often require that people work together in order to accomplish a common goal. Although critics often argue that in the corporate world teamwork has become an empty buzzword or a form of corporate-speak. Effective collaborative skills are necessary to work well in a team environment. As businesses and organizations become larger or more sophisticated. Many employers attempt to enhance their employees' collaborative efforts through training cross-training and workshops in order to help people effectively work together in a cohesive group and accomplish shared goals.
Human beings are fiercely independent animals and we will always have our own opinions and independent methods of doing something. This is the way our minds are hardwired by nature. Except for a very small percentage of us sharing and collaboration with others is not exactly programmed inside each and every one of us. This is because each person is mainly concerned about his or her rewards appreciation need for power over others and so on. But teamwork is a different ballgame that aligns mindsets in a cooperative and usually selfless manner towards a specific business purpose. And it involves sacrifices sharing of rewards sharing the blame and punishments true uniformity suppression of personal opinions etc. which is not very palatable to many. It is always "What is in it for me" rather than "What is in it for us.
In order for teamwork to succeed one must be a teamplayer. A Teamplayer is one who subordinates personal aspirations and works in a coordinated effort with other members of a group or team in striving for a common goal. Businesses and other organizations often go to the effort of coordinating team building events in an attempt to get people to work as a team rather than as individuals.
A 20xx national representative survey HOW-FAIR revealed that Americans think that 'being a team player' was the most important factor in getting ahead in the workplace. This was ranked higher than several factors including 'merit and performance' 'leadership skills' 'intelligence' 'making money for the organization' and 'long hours'.
“The old structures are being reformed. As organizations seek to become more flexible in the face of rapid environmental change and more responsive to the needs of customers they are experimenting with new team-based structures”.
