英语演讲:什么是真正的美?
It is human nature
that all of us should be fond
of beauty.
Everybody was born with a heart for beauty.
Today in China,with the rising of our living
standard, people's requirement of beauty has
been
heightened accordingly. Some people spare
no money or
energy on beautiful clothes,
fashionable hair
styles,the decoration of
their houses and even the
improvement of their
looks. But it seems to me,all
these are more
or less confined to the beauty in
appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.
In my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to
beautiful appearance and neglect the
beautification of
the mind and what we are
after should be the perfect
unity of the
outward beauty and the inner beauty. As
we all
know,so far as objects and animals are
concerned,there is only beautiful appearance
to be
mentioned, but to us humanbeings,
although the outward
beauty really matters,
the inner beauty is much more
important. This
was confirmed by a famous Russian
writer in
words much like this:
not lovely for
being beautiful but beautiful for
being
lovely.
Here, I'd like to quote two typical
instances and
I'm sure, my dear friends,from
them you'll find out what
real beauty is.
Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant
incident about a well known singer. She is
very charming
with a sweet beautiful voice and
very famous for singing
the LoveNot long
ago,she was
invited to Zhejiang Province to
give performance. The
moment she was to appear
on the stage,she suddenly asked
for more
reward. Worse still,after her request was
satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once.
Instead,she took her time to count all the
money piece
by piece. Thus she kept the
audience waiting for half
an hour. So when she
at last showed up and started to
sing of
Loveman rose up from his seat and
shouted at
her,
You are not qualified to sing this song !
this,
the singer stopped singing and began to
shout abuses
with her finger pointed at the
man. At this time the
whole audience burst
into an uproar.
How disappointed her
keen listeners were when they
learned this! It
is the singer herself who spoiled her
beautiful image in the eyes of others.
Now, I'm coming to another true story. It's about
a poor, ordinary looking old woman. She was a
widow
without any children, living barely from
hand to mouth
by picking odds and ends from
rubbish heaps.
However,she took in more than
ten homeless orphans
successively and managed
to bring them up. Every day
she labored from
morning till night. In order to earn
as much
money as possible to raise the children and to
keep them in school,she even went to a
hospital
regularly to sell her blood. She got
so weak for the
loss of blood that she
sometimes fell in a faint on her
way home.
When asked why she chose to burden herself
with so
many children,she smiled and simply
answered,
love children and I like to have
their company.
Though the old woman was poor
materially, she was
full of affection and rich
in spirit. She was loved
dearly by her
children. She was also highly appreciated
by
the local government, and truly respected by
people
in her community.
Maybe
you can't help wondering,
ordinary woman so
extraordinary?
but her inner beauty, her true
devotion of love without
any thought of
rewarding. What a sharp contrast there
is
between the great woman and the selfish singer]
So,to answer the question
I declare
definitely,it is the beauty lying in one's
heart of hearts and embodied in his actions
and
deeds,that is,the inner heauty!
