英語演講稿：我又一次在絆大象
大學生英語演講稿
I Am Tripping My Elephant Here
Once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way. As he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly. He looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him. Quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out. A sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: “Hey, chicken! Watch out your leg, it’s out!” The ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: “ Shi…I am going to trip that elephant.”
Right now, I’m standing on this glamorous stage. But everything here reminds me of is a not so fun memory. Around this time last year I was in Nanjing competing in another speech contest. That was the first time for me to be in such a large event. Of course the pressure I was under was immense too. After a sleepless and stressful night, I went onto that stage without the feeling in my legs. That speech turned out to be horrible. I don’t remember how I get down from there, but I do remember afterwards I just wanted to find a hole to hide in just like the ant in the story. Back at my school, it took a long time for me to recover. Thanks to all the help I got from my special friends. My confidence was restored. After rounds of giving speeches and answering tough questions, I am here today. From all that I’ve been through I’ve learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if I want my life to go on well I have to let go of my past failure. So today, with out fear, I am tripping my elephant again.
我又一次在絆大象
從前，一只小螞蟻在路上走著，走著走著，忽然感覺到地在顫動，回頭一看是一只大象正朝他走來。于是他很快用土蓋住身體，不幸一只腳忘在了外面。一只麻雀看到了一切，她飛下來想要取笑一下這只螞蟻，說：“咳，膽小鬼，小心你的腳，露出來了!” 螞蟻開始有些尷尬，但一會不緊不慢地告訴麻雀說：“小聲點，我要在絆那只大象。”
今天，我站在這個講臺上。但周圍的一切讓我想到的卻并不是一段有趣的回憶。大概是去年的這個時間，我在南京參加另一個全國英語演講比賽。那是我第一次參加大賽，當然壓力非常大。經過壓抑無眠的一整夜，我走上了演講臺。那時我有史以來最差的一次演講。我不記得自己怎么從講臺上走下來的，只記得當時很想找一個地方躲進去再也不出來就想我故事中的螞蟻�；氐綄W校，我花了好一段時間才恢復過來。幸好有朋友和老師的鼓勵，我又一次有了勇氣和信心。經過一輪又一輪的演講和回答問題，我今天站在了這里。讓也我領悟了一個道理：一個好的將來是建立在忘掉過去的基礎上的，直到真正忘記過去的失敗生活才會變的美好。今天，我沒有懼怕，又一次站到了大象的面前。
