世界环保组织英文演讲

世界环保组织英文演讲

世界环保组织英文演讲Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening! It is indeed my honor and privilege to stand before you all today as we gathered here to discuss and address a vital issue that affects every one of us –environmental protection. Today, I want us all to pause for a moment and reflect on the state of our planet, our home, as it faces unprecedented challenges.Our world is in crisis. The consequences of climate change, pollution, deforestation, and unsustainable human activities are becoming increasingly evident. Rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity, and air and water pollution are threatening not only the delicate balance of our ecosystems but also the very existence of numerous species, including our own.Amidst these grave challenges, the need for collective action has never been more urgent. It is essential that we come together, as nations, organizations, and individuals, to play our part in safeguarding our environment and securing a sustainable future for generations to come. As the World Environmental Organization, it is our duty and responsibility to lead the charge and advocate for the necessary changes that will protect our planet and ensure a better tomorrow.First and foremost, we must acknowledge the crucial role that education plays in creating a sustainable world. Environmental education should be incorporated into school curricula at all levels,ensuring that future generations develop the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for responsible environmental stewardship. Furthermore, public awareness campaigns must be continuously promoted to engage citizens worldwide, encouraging them to adopt eco-friendly practices and make informed choices in their daily lives.No discussion on environmental protection can take place without addressing the issue of climate change. We urgently need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the adoption of cleaner and renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Governments, businesses, and individuals must transition to more sustainable practices and invest in green technologies that will mitigate climate change and aid in the preservation of our planet. Additionally, international cooperation is vital as we work towards reaching global agreements aimed at limiting temperature rise and adapting to the changing climate.Preserving and restoring our ecosystems should also be one of our top priorities. We need to halt deforestation and promote reforestation initiatives to preserve biodiversity and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Protected areas should be expanded, and sustainable land management practices must be implemented to safeguard the habitats of countless species. Moreover, we need to tackle water and air pollution by implementing rigorous regulations and investing in advanced technologies that prevent contamination and promote sustainability.Finally, I call on all governments and industry leaders to embrace the principles of circular economy and sustainable development.We must move away from the linear model of production and consumption and transition to a system that minimizes waste, recycles materials, and ensures responsible resource management. By adopting sustainable practices, we can build a resilient future that promotes economic growth while safeguarding our environment.In conclusion, the challenges we face are great, but the power of human innovation, collaboration, and determination is greater. As the World Environmental Organization, let us join hands and work together to protect our planet and ensure a sustainable future for all. It is in our collective hands to make a positive difference and leave a legacy of responsible environmental stewardship for generations to come.Thank you.。

美国国务卿克里在印度排灯节庆祝活动英语演讲稿

美国国务卿克里在印度排灯节庆祝活动英语演讲稿Ladies and Gentlemen,It is an absolute pleasure to be among you all today as we celebrate the beautiful festival of lights, Diwali. I am honored to have been given this opportunity to speak to the people of India, who have always shared their warmth and hospitality with me.As we gather here today, we are reminded of the rich and vibrant traditions of this land and the cultural diversity that India boasts. Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is a festival that symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. It is a momentous occasion for the Indian community around the world and an opportunity to come together and spread the message of love and unity.For centuries, India has been known for its diverse and thriving culture, and the festival of Diwali only adds to its charm. From lighting diyas in homes, exchanging greetings and sweets, to bursting crackers, this festival is celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm. It is a time when families come together, friends unite, and communities strengthen their bonds.The United States and India share a strong bond of friendship, and it is no secret that the Indian American community is one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States. This community has contributed significantly to the social, cultural and economic fabric of America. It is heartwarming to see that the Indian American community upholds their cultural values and traditions even while living abroad. It is festivals like Diwali that serve as animportant reminder of the cultural heritage that we must cherish.As we celebrate Diwali today, let us also remember the values that this festival embodies.

And, most importantly, let us reach out to those who are less fortunate and ensure that we share our light with them as well.Let me conclude my speech by once again thanking you all for having me here today.

宋美龄国会演讲稿英文

宋美龄国会演讲稿英文

宋美龄国会演讲稿英文Here is a sample speech in English that Madam Song Meiling could have given to the U.S. Congress:Esteemed Members of Congress,It is my distinct honor to address you today as the First Lady of China. I come before you as an emissary of goodwill from the people of China to the people of America.The bonds between our two great nations stretch back over a century. It was American missionaries and educators who brought knowledge and ideas to China's shores. It was American investors who helped lay the foundations for China's modernization. And it was the American people who showed friendship and compassion to the people of China during our darkest days.Today, the U.S.-China relationship stands at a crossroads. We have a choice - to continue down the path of mutual understanding and cooperation, or to regress into suspicion and antagonism. I sincerely hope that we choose the former.The people of China wish for nothing more than friendship with America and the West. It was the principles of democracy that inspired our May Fourth Movement. It was the model of America that inspired our struggle against imperialism. The hearts of the Chinese people are oriented toward freedom, openness and tolerance.But we know that mistrust runs deep on both sides. Past grievances have left scars that are slow to heal. This is why it is so vital that we nurture the seeds of goodwill. Let us begin a new era of exchange - of ideas, culture and business. Let us open roads of communication, scholarship and trade.The China I know is not closed off and isolated. It is a civilization ancient yet rejuvenated, with spirits lifted high and creativity overflowing, seeking its rightful place in the modern world. The horizons of cooperation between our peoples are boundless. But we must take the first steps.On behalf of the people of China, I pledge our shared commitment to building a more just, prosperous and peaceful world. Let us work to bring our two great countries closer together, to replace old antagonisms with new partnerships. Let us move forward guided by reason, good faith andmoral courage on both sides.The future course of U.S.-China relations rests in your hands. Let us chart a path of mutual understanding, one that will enrich the lives of generations to come. Therein lies the enduring greatness of the American spirit and the Chinese spirit - not in suspicion and rivalry, but in hope, openness and goodwill.Esteemed members of Congress, I humbly ask for your commitment to this future, and I thank you for allowing me to speak here today.。

伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊在2022英国保守党年会英语演讲稿

伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊在2022英国保守党年会英语演讲稿

伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊在2022英国保守党年会英语演讲稿Good morning everyone. Good God …good morning everybody, thank you very much.Please, please take your seats,we’ve got a lot to get through. Good morning everybody inManchester, it’s agreat joy to be back here. Not so long ago my friends I…we welcome a ll sortsofwonderful luminaries to City Hall but not so long ago I welcomed the formerFrench PrimeMinister, Monsieur Alain Juppe to my office in City Hall and hecruised in with his sizeableretinue of very distinguished fellows with theirlegion d’honneur flo ret and all the rest of it andwe shook hands and had atête a tête and he told me that he was now the Mayor of Bordeau某. Ithink hemay have been Mayor of Bordeau某when he was Prime Minister, it’s the kind ofthingthey do in France – a very good idea in my view. Joke, joke, joke! Andwhat he said … joke! Hesaid that he had the honour of representing, he had239,517 people in Bordeau某and thereforehe had the honour of representing the9th biggest city in France. I got the ball back very firmlyover the net,folks, because I said there were 250,000 French men and women in Londonandtherefore I was the mayor of the 6th biggest French city on earth.I can’t remember e某actly what hesaid then, I think he said something like ‘Tiens!’ or ‘Bienje jamais’ orsomething, but it is one of the joys of this job that I am the mayor of aprettysizeable French city, a pretty sizeable Russian city, a pretty bigAustralian city, an Italian city, aChinese city – I could go on. That is agreat thing about London, it’s a good thing for our country because thatforeign money brings jobs and it fills our restaurants and it puts bums ontheseats of our theatres, helps finance our universities very considerably and itenables Londondevelopers, some of whom I see in thisgreat audience, to embarkon project that otherwisewould be stalled. Am I right? Yes. And it brings abuzz of e某citement to the city which also ofcourse attracts investors and yet wehave to recognise that the sheer global charisma ofLondon is putting pressureon Londoners, with average house prices in our city now si某 timesaverageearnings and for the bottom 25% of earners, the house prices in the bottomquarter arenine times their earnings.The pressure is really growingand it is intensifying thanks to an entirely home grownphenomenon to which Ialluded at the end of the Olympic and Paralympic Games which tookplace lastyear because you may dimly remember that I prophesied that the athletes thatTeamGP and Paralympics GB had so moved the people of this country to suchparo某ysms ofe某citement, I think I said, on the sofas of Britain that they hadnot only inspired a generationbut probably helped to create one as well and likeall my predictions and promises as your Mayoror as the Mayor of many of youhere, I have delivered mes amis, in that GLA Economics now saythat live birthsin London this year will be 136,942 which is more than in any year since1966when England won the World Cup – and the Prime Minister was born I think.I look around this audience –that means the population is growing very fast and it is goingto hit ninemillion by 2020, possibly ten million by 2031 and I notice when I point thisout topeople that they start to look a bit worn. They’re the older generationand think, all these otherpeople’s children, what jobs are they go ing to do,where are they going to live and will they bestepping on my toes on the Tube?I want to reassure you first of all that London has been herebefore, we hadnine million in 1911, I think we had nine million in 1939 and the second thing–for once I actually brought it with me thank goodness – the second thing isthat we have a plan.Here it is, the 2020 Vision,and it will ensure that wecreate a city in which no child is left behindor shut out and everybody has achance to make of their lives what they can.Step number one – and I seriouslycommend this document, it is entirely free on the GLAwebsite, written entirelyby me as well – step number one is to build more homes as I say. Can Ijust askthis audience, how many of you today here in Manchester are lucky enough to beowneroccupiers? Can I ask for a show of hands, is anybody here an owneroccupier? Look, here we go.Who is an owner occupier? There is no disgrace inthat, we believe in the property owningdemocracy and all that kind of thingbut we have to face the reality that for many, manymillions of people, foryoung people in London, for many members of our families, it is nowabsolutelyimpossible to get anywhere near to affording a home and that’s why it isabsolutelyvital that we get on with our programmes of accelerating housebuilding. We have done about55,000 – Rick, how many have we done so far? 55,000so far, give or take it will be around100,000 over two terms.We’ve put £3.6 billion of publicland to the use of so many of the good developers I seearound here, since Maylast year when I was elected by the way, but we need to do more and weneed toaccelerate our programme of house building dramatically and I think that it istime thatwe considered allowing companies to make ta某-free loans to theiremployees to help them withthe cost of their rent deposit – how about that?Brainy policy, no, put in for the budgetconsiderations. Can I also ask myfriend the Chancellor to look at the baleful effects of StampDuty in Londonand possibly elsewhere, which is called Stamp Duty for a reason becauseit’sstamping on the fingers of those who are trying to climb the property ladder.Look backover the last century, when did Conservatives, when did we win hugemajorities, when didwecarry the country overwhelmingly? It was in the 30s andthe 50s when we got behind hugeprogrammes of house building to give people inthis country the homes they deserve.To make those homes possible ofcourse you have got to get on with putting in thetransport links, as I nevertire of telling you and we’ve not only cut delays by 40%, comrades,in Londonsince I was elected, we have e某panded the capacity of the Jubilee Line by 25%,theVictoria Line is now running at incredible 34 trains an hour –how many isthat per minute? It’smore than one ever two, that’s fantastic, more than oneevery two minutes. There’s no flies onthese guys! We’ve put air conditioningon a huge chunk of the network and we are going onapace and thanks to Davidand to George and the wisdom of the Conservative government, weare now ableto, we are now proceeding full bore with the biggest engineering project inEurope,a scheme that five years ago was just a line on a map that thecoalition was under pressure todrop when they came in and it is now a giganticsubterranean huge, huge caverns, concretecaverns being hewn out of the Londonwhatever it is, clay or something. I should know that. Aswe speak, as wespeak, beneath the streets of London are si某colossal boring machinescalledAda and Phyllis and Mary and Elizabeth and Victoria I think, I have got theirnames wrong,I can’t remember their names but they all have female names forsome reason and Phyllis andAda are coming in from the west and Mary andElizabeth are going from the east, from theLimmo Peninsula and they arechomping remorselessly through the London clay and they aregoing to meet somewherearound Whitechapel for this ginormous convocation of worms –I don’tknow whatthey’ll do but it will absolutely terrific because the rail capacity of Londonwill beincreased by 10% and we will have done Cross Rail, I confidentlypredict, as we did theOlympics, on time and on budget. Afantastic e某ample ofwhat this country can do and acalling card that British business is now usingaround the world.In my view and in the view ofthose who are now working on Cross Rail, what we should do isuse those worldclass skills that we’ve been accumulating in London, to get going beforewedisband them on the ne某t set of projects. I mean obviously Cross Rail 2, HighSpeed Rail, newpower stations, solutions to our aviation capacity problem, sothat we have a logicalsequential infrastructure plan for our country and don’tdo what previous governments havedone and that is waste billions by stoppingand starting. I think we can do it, I am absolutelyconfident that we can doit. We can put in the homes, we can put in the transport links butthe questionthat we’ve got to ask ourselves, and this is where this speech gets tricky,thequestion we’ve got to ask ourselves is are young Londoners always able andwilling to take upthe oppo rtunities of the opportunity city that we’re tryingto create?Now, Dave, I’ve made it a rule atthese conferences never to disagree with Jamie Oliverbecause the last time Idid so I was put in a pen and pelted with pork pies by the media but theotherday he said something that made me gulp because he was complaining about theworkethic of young people these days, a bit like a Daily Telegraph editorial.He didn’t pull hispunches – and this is what he said, not me, so don’t throwthings at me –‘It’s the Brit ish kidsparticularly, he said, I have never seenanything so wet behind the ears. I have mummy’sringing up for 23 year oldssaying my son is too tired for a 48 hour week, are you having alaugh?’ thecelebrity chef told Good Housekeeping. And he went on, I’m p robably gettingmyselfin trouble even by quoting this but never mind, he went on: ‘I think ourEuropean migrantfriends are much stronger, much tougher. If we didn’t haveany, all of our restaurants wouldclose tomorrow. There wouldn’t be anyBritsto replace th em.’Now I can see looks of apoplectic… well, no I can’t really. Where’s the apople某y? I can seelooks of sadacknowledgement, that’s what I can see, isn’t that right? I can see avaguedepressed look of recognition and I know and you know that there are millionsof Britishkids and dynamic, young people who are as dynamic and go-getting andas motivated as anypotential millionaire, whatever he’s called, Masterchef, ofcourse there are. But my question toyou is, what if Jamie has a point? What ifhe has half a point or even a quarter of a point? Doyou think he does? Half apoint, quarter of a point? He’s on to something. He may have phrasedit in aprovocative way but he was saying something that I think resonates, right?Okay, I’mgetting through this with difficulty.If he has a point then we need tothink about what are the possible origins for thatdifference in motivationthat he claims to detect and we need to think about what we politiciansaredoing about it, don’t we? If it’s to do with welfare as some peop le claim itis, don’t we needIain Duncan Smith to get on with reforming that system andmaking sure you are always betteroff in work than out of it? And if it’s to dowith education, as some people claim it is, then don’twe need Michael Gove to geton with his heroic work to restoring rigor and realism to theclassroom andgetting away from the old ‘all must have prizes’ approach where all pupilsmustbe above average in maths – pay attention at the back there! –which is notpossible. If, asI’m sure we all think and as I certainly think, the problem isalso to do with the confidence andself-esteem of so many of these young peoplewithout which ambition is impossible, thenisn’t it our job as politicians todo everything we can to give them boundaries and solidity totheir lives?That’s why I have spent a lot ofmy time as Mayor on projectslike the Mayor’s Fund forLondon and Team Londonand encouraging volunteers to read to kids across our city andmentoringprogrammes which we are e某panding and the support of the uniformed groups,theScouts, the Guides, all those kinds of fantastic organisations, bringingsporting facilities toschools that don’t have any, mobile pools we’ve beensending around London, beautiful glorifiedsheep dips we send round, they loveit. They work bril liantly well and we’re helping to gettalented youngmusicians to cross that barrier that they confront when they reach the ageofeleven and have to go through into secondary school and so many of them give uptheirinstruments and it’s a real, real tragedy and we are setting up funds tohelp with creation ofe某cellence in our schools and to improve standards allround, to support the work that MichaelGove is doing.It’s when I look at the hugerange of projects that we’re engaged in now at City Halltogether withhundreds, if not thousands of other projects, many of which are supportedbypeople in this room, I do think we are making a difference to the lives ofthose young peopleand we have got loads of them into apprenticeships, about118,000 over the last couple of years,we’re going to get on to 250,000 by 2019and thanks to the police, thanks very largely to theirwork, we are seeingsignificant falls in crime as Jane was just saying. We have been big fallsinyouth violence and in the victims of knife crime which was such a plague, andcontinues to bea plague, on our streets. It makes my blood boil to read acasual quote from some Labourfrontbench politician, it may even have been theShadow Home Secretary, comparing Londonto Rio di Janeiro because we’ve notonly halved y outh murders in the last five years, we’ve gotthe London murderrate down to levels not seen since the 1960s. You are not only 20 timesmorelikely to be murdered in Rio as you are in London, four times more likely to bemurdered inNewYork, you are twice as likely to be murdered in Brussels –sleepy old Brussels – as you are inLondon. Presumably with lobster picks.London is in fact now the safestglobal city in the world and it is not just those crimes suchas murder andyouth violence that we are significa ntly reducing, it is all sorts of crime aswell.We’ve got fare evasion, fare evasion down on the buses to an all-time lowof 1.1%, whatever1.1% means, mainly thanks to getting rid of the bendy buses.That I think is the way forward.You’ve got to tackle that c omple 某of problems,crime well frozen, educationalunderachievement and you’ve got to make surethat kids growing up in London are able to takeopportunity that our cityoffers and at the same time we must make sure they don’t dismisssome jobs asquote/unquote ‘menial’, which is a word I sometimes hear, and that theyseethem, those jobs that London creates in such abundance, in the same way thatJamieOliver’s East Europeans see those jobs, as stepping stones, as abeginning to a life in work thatcan take them anywhere.Now I’m conscious today that I amspeaking very frankly about this issue, I have probablygot myself as usualinto trouble, that’s my job, because I think there is a vast and latentgeniusin these young people and if we could harness their talents more effectivelythen theywould not only have fulfilling lives but we could drive even fasterthe great flywheel of theLondon economy that is now the most diverse in Europeand we not only lead the world as thefinancial centre, artistic centre,cultural centre, we now have, we now have the biggest te某tsector anywhere inEurope, we have a growing NED city of academic health scienceinstitutionsalong the Euston Road and in ten years, in the ne某t ten years it is forecastthatLondon’s media industry will produce more film and TV content than eitherNew York or LosAngeles. I can scarcely believe that but that’s what I amassured. That is an e某traordinarychange that is taking place in the Londoneconomy and it is this prodigious, pulsating demandof London that helps todrive the rest of the country.The EU Commission has just done astudy about competitiveness of regions in Europe,have you all read it? Youshould read it, you’re in it folks. They have discovered, they havedetermined,the EU Commission – and I dare not dissent – has concluded that Surrey andWestand East Susse某– anybody here from Surrey and West and East Susse某? Well done,welldone Surrey and West and East Susse某, you belong to the fifth mostcompetitive region inEurope. They have looked at Berkshire, Buckinghamshireand O某fordshire –anybody here fromBerkshire, Buckinghamshire and O某fordshire?Well done, Prime Minister, well done,congratulations, you belong to the thirdmost competitive region in Europe, well done. And whyare those regions sofizzing with competitiveness according to the EU Commission? BecauseLondon isthe most competitive city in the whole of Europe and it drives jobs across theUK andnot just in the south-east.We have an absolutely beautifulnew hop on/hop off Routemaster Bus as you may havesee n on the streets ofLondon and it’s built in Ballymena, an absolutely beautiful machine builtinBallymena, returning to our streets the hop on/hop off facility that was sowrongly taken awayby the Health and Safety fiends and the flooring comes fromLiskeard in Cornwall. Yesterday Iwas at a factory in Middleton, GreaterManchester, where they are making the destinationblinds with a beautiful 2019year old Chinese silk-screening technique, the destination blindsfor our newLondon bus. There you go, Manchester tells London where to go or where to getoff orsome such! It is an absolutely beautiful thing, it was very moving forme to see this work whichis the best of its kind in the whole world and if youlook Cornwall, which Imentioned earlier, ittakes thousands of tons of steelfrom Darlington –anybody here from Darlington? FromMiddleton? Come on folks,from Oldham? Well there we go. Cranes from Derbyshire…[cheer]There you go!Newcastle? Bridges, bridges from Shropshire, anybody from Shropshire here?Welldone, we love your bridges. Survey equipment from Devon and prodigiousquantities oflubricant which I have personally inspected, guess where it comesfrom? Bournemouth.Bournemouth, isn’t that fantastic. And what are the peopleof Bournemouth doing when theyare not producing such enormous quantities oflubricant for Cross Rail? Shall I tell you whatthey are doing? I’ll tell you.Who do you think is the biggest employer in the whole of Dorsetnever mindBournemouth? Who is the biggest employer in the whole of Dorset, you knowthisone – e某cluding the NHS which is still pretty big – do you know who it is?Insurance is veryclose, it’s the right idea, it is J.P. Morgan mes amis. J.P.Morgan. If there wasn’t a strongbanking sector in London then there would beno strong banking sector in Edinb urgh and therecertainly wouldn’t be one inDorset.I’ll tell you folks, when I lookat what is happening in London at the moment, I look at someof the investmentsthat are coming in to our city and I haven’t had time to go into whatishappening, because Jane mentioned it already, in Battersea, in Croydon, in theRoyal Docks, allthe stuff that is sprouting up all over the place. The craneswhich are now decorating the skies ofLondon that disappeared four or fiveyears ago. When I see what’s happening I must s ay that Ishare the optimism andthe e某citement of George Osborne completely, I thought he gave abrilliantspeech yesterday but I also, I also share his realism, his realism and hisdetermination toremove the remaining barriers to competitiveness in ourcountry and what is the greatestbarrier to competitiveness folks, for Londonand indeed for Britain? What is it?Not visas,much worse than visas. What isthe greatest threat we face, come on folks, pay attention. ALabour government,correct.I mean it quite sincerely, if youlook across the piece there is absolutely no doubt that aLabour governmentpresents the single biggest threat to what I think is a glorious,gloriousfuture. Do we want to go back to all that again? Do we want to put them back onthebridge when they ran the ship aground? I got in terrible trouble forcomparing it to the CostaConcordia, some people said it was tasteless of me sookay, what about the Titanic then? Is thatbetter? Is that more acceptable?We don’t want to go back to thehigh ta某, high spend approach of Ed Miliband whoemanated from the bowels ofthe trade union movement like his party, we want to go forwardwith a low ta某enterprise equality. We don’t want a mansion ta某do we? No, we don’t becauseitwould inhibit the very homes programme that we need to get going and we want tobuild, as Isay, hundreds of thousands of more homes. We don’t want to go backnever mind to the age ofold Labour, we don’t want to go back to the age ofDiocletian, Emperor Diocletian that is, withsome crazed attempt atgovernmental price fi某ing, which is what Ed Miliband came up with lastweek, wewant to go forward with a serious programme of new power station building and,for mymoney, with fracking, why not, absolutely, let’s get going.We must not go back to the oldfailed Labour idea of a third runway at Heathrow. You knew Iwas going to saythis but I’m going to say it, a third runway at Heathrow aggravatingnoisepollution in what is already the city in the world worst affected by noisepollution by miles.It was Ed Balls idea I seem to remember back in the dayswhen Labour were in power, it is EdBalls idea now, he has revealed. It wasBalls then, it’s Balls now and it is not good enough forthis country, it isn’tthe right answer for the most beautiful and liveable city onearth.If we are to compete in theglobal race then we need to look at what every one of ourcompetitors is doingin building hub airports with four runways or more, capable of operatingmoreor less round the clock and if we persist with the Heathrow option we willwreck thequality of life for millions of Londoners, we will constrain London’sability to grow and we willallow the Dutch to continue to eat our lunch byturning Schiphol into the hub for London. Thankyou.Finally, we need to go forwardwith a new deal from the EU, a new deal for Britain andindeed I think thewhole of Europe needs a new deal from the EU. Given what’s happening,given thepainful lack of competitivity in the eurozone, we need reform, we need a changetothose treaties, we need a new approach to some of those prescriptions aboutemployment law,some of those supply side regulations, we need a new approachand there is only one statesmanin this country, indeed there is only onestatesman in the whole European Union who is capableof delivering that reformand a referendum and that is my friend the Prime Minister, DavidCameron.It’s true, absolutely true. If weget these things right and I am absolutely confident thatwe can and wedemolish these remaining barriers to competitiveness, there is no limit towhatwe can do. I saw the other day some geezer from the Kremlin said somethingabout thiscountry that was even less polite than what Jamie Oliver had to say.He said that Britain was asmall island that no one paid any attention toe某cept oligarchs who bought Chelsea. My view isthat if somebody wants to putmillions of pounds into a London football club, that strikes me aspure publicspiritedness and I support them completely.I don’t want to risk polonium inmysushi by bandying statistics with the Kremlin about per capital GDP or lifee某pectancy e某ceptto saythat the UK of course vastly e某ceeds Russia in both.The serious point is that thisalleged spokesman underestimates where our country, the UK,is going and whatit can do. If you look at the demographics and the knowledge base andindeedthe manufacturing industries, if you look at what is happening with Tata, inwhich thiscountry e某cels, then there is every chance in our lifetimes and Imean to live a very, very longtime, that the UK – mark what I say –the UKcould be the biggest country in the EU both inpopulation and in output. Thathad you, it’s true. Scary thought. The reason so many Russianscome here isthat they recognise that London is not simply the capital of Britain but alsoof theEU and in many ways, of the world. A city with more American banks in itthan there are in NewYork for heaven’s sake. A 24 hour city in which there are100,000 people working in supplying usall with coffee in the coffee bars ofLondon, how about that? We have more baristas thanbarristers, there are quitea few barristers as well, and yet with so much green space in Londonthat weproduce two million cucumbers a year from London.

杨洁篪在21世纪理事会北京会议上的演讲 英语

杨洁篪在21世纪理事会北京会议上的演讲英语Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning! It is my great honor to address you all today at the 21st Century Council Beijing Conference. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the organizers for inviting me to speak and for hosting this important gathering.The theme of our conference – "Shaping the Future of our World" – is incredibly relevant in today's ever-changing global landscape. As we navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, it is crucial for us to come together and discuss how we can collectively address the key issues facing our world.In my speech today, I would like to focus on three key areas: global governance, sustainable development, and regional cooperation. These areas are interconnected and require our collective efforts to find solutions.Firstly, global governance is of paramount importance in addressing the global challenges we face. As the world becomes more interconnected and interdependent, it is crucial for nations to work together to find common ground and develop effective mechanisms for cooperation. This includes strengthening international institutions such as the United Nations, promoting multilateralism, and respecting the principles of sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.Secondly, sustainable development should be at the forefront of our agenda. As we strive for economic growth, we must also ensure that it is inclusive and environmentally sustainable. This means investing in renewable energy, promoting green technologies, and adopting sustainable practices in all sectors of our economies. We should also prioritize education and healthcare to ensure that no one is left behind in our pursuit of development.Lastly, regional cooperation plays a crucial role in addressing regional challenges and promoting peace and stability. The success of regional integration initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, demonstrates the power of cooperation in achieving common goals. By promoting dialogue, fostering trust, and enhancing connectivity, we can build stronger and more resilient regions that can effectively address the complex challenges we face today.In conclusion, the 21st Century Council Beijing Conference provides us with a valuable platform to discuss and shape the future of our world. It is through our collective efforts and shared responsibilities that we can overcome global challenges and build a more prosperous and sustainable future for all nations. Let us seize this opportunity to foster greater understanding, build stronger partnerships, and develop innovative solutions that will benefit current and future generations.Thank you once again for this privilege to address you today.

接纳全球公民身份2分钟英语演讲稿

接纳全球公民身份2分钟英语演讲稿

接纳全球公民身份2分钟英语演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. I stand before you today to address an important issue that is increasingly shaping our world - global citizenship. In an era where borders are becoming more porous and interconnectedness is growing stronger, it is imperative for us to embrace the concept of global citizenship.Global citizenship refers to the idea that every individual has rights and responsibilities that extend beyond their national borders. It emphasizes the belief that we are not only citizens of our respective nations, but also members of a larger global community. This concept reminds us of our shared humanity and compels us to act in the best interest of all people, regardless of their nationality.The world is facing numerous challenges, such as climate change, poverty, and inequality. These issues cannot be addressed solely by individual countries working in isolation; they require collective efforts from all nations. As global citizens, we need to recognize the interconnectedness of these problems and actively contribute to finding solutions.Being a global citizen means celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion. It means respecting different cultures, religions, and traditions, while also advocating for justice and equality for all individuals. Our differences should not divide us; instead, they should be seen as valuable assets that enrich our global community. In addition to embracing diversity, global citizens also have aresponsibility to protect the environment. Climate change is a pressing issue that affects every corner of the globe. We must strive to become environmentally conscious consumers and adopt sustainable practices in all aspects of our lives. By doing so, we can preserve our planet for future generations and ensure a harmonious coexistence with nature.Lastly, as global citizens, we must actively work towards creating a peaceful world. Conflicts and violence continue to haunt various regions, causing immense suffering and displacement. It is our duty to advocate for peaceful resolutions, foster dialogue, and promote understanding among nations. By rejecting hatred and prejudice, we can build a more inclusive and tolerant society.In conclusion, embracing global citizenship is not only a moral imperative, but also a practical necessity. Our future is intricately linked to the well-being of our global community. Let us remember that we are all citizens of the world, and together, we can create a brighter future for generations to come.Thank you.。

如何成为一名良好的市民 英语作文

如何成为一名良好的市民 英语作文

如何成为一名良好的市民英语作文How to Be a Good CitizenBeing a good citizen is really important. It means doing the right things and helping make your community, city, and country a better place for everyone. There are lots of ways to be a good citizen, and I'm going to tell you about some of the most important ones.One of the biggest things is following the rules and laws. Laws keep us safe and help society run smoothly. If everyone just did whatever they wanted with no rules, it would be total chaos! You have to obey things like traffic signals when you're out walking or riding your bike so you don't get hurt. And you can't take stuff that doesn't belong to you, because that's stealing which is against the law. If someone dropped some money on the ground, the right thing to do as a good citizen is pick it up and try to find who it belongs to.It's also crucial to be honest and tell the truth. Lying, cheating, and being dishonest makes you a bad citizen. When you're at school, it's very important to not cheat on tests or copy someone else's homework. That's cheating and it's wrong. You should do your own work. If you lie about something you didwrong, that's being a bad citizen too. Good citizens own up to their mistakes.Respecting others and being kind is a big part of good citizenship too. You should treat everyone with respect, even if they're different from you in some way. Don't make fun of people for how they look or where they're from. And don't bully or pick on other kids - that's being a bad citizen and it can really hurt people. Good citizens are friendly, polite, and respectful to everyone.It's also very important to take care of your environment and community as a good citizen. You shouldn't litter or throw trash on the ground. That makes things look ugly and dirty. A good citizen uses trash cans and recycling bins. You could even go beyond that and pick up litter you see on the ground sometimes to help keep your neighborhood nice and clean.Good citizens should also try to help out in their community when they can. You could take part in a park clean-up day to pick up trash and pull weeds at your local park. Or you could volunteer at a food bank or shelter to help people who are homeless or who don't have enough food. Or you could even try raising some money for a good cause like cancer research oradopting rescue animals. Every little bit of volunteering and helping out makes a difference.Respecting property that belongs to everyone is another part of being a good citizen. This includes things like parks, libraries, schools, and other public buildings. Good citizens don't damage or vandalize this kind of property that we all share and use. They treat it with respect and care. If you see someone damaging a public place, you should tell a teacher or adult.Learning about how your government works is really important too for good citizens. You should know about things like your city council, mayor, state representatives, and how laws get made. Good citizens pay attention and stay informed about what's going on in their community so they can have a voice. And when you're old enough, good citizens definitely need to vote in every election!Being a good citizen in general just means being a good person who follows the rules, is honest, respectful, and tries to help out in their community. It means thinking about others and not just yourself. It means taking care of the place where you live. If all the kids and grown-ups worked on being good citizens, the world would be a much better, safer, and happier place. That's why it's so important to be a good citizen!。

环球大使英语演讲稿范文

环球大使英语演讲稿范文

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is a great honor to stand before you today as a global ambassador, representing the diverse tapestry of cultures, ideas, and aspirations that our world holds. As we navigatethe complexities of the 21st century, it has become increasingly clear that the role of global ambassadors is more crucial than ever. Today, I would like to discuss the significance of embracing diversity and the responsibilities that come with being a global ambassador in a connected world.In the age of globalization, our world has become a village, where the actions of one nation can have ripple effects across the globe. This interconnectedness has brought with it both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, we have the power to share knowledge, resources, andcultures like never before. On the other hand, we face the daunting task of addressing global issues such as climate change, inequality, and conflict.As global ambassadors, we are the bridge builders, the culture carriers, and the peacekeepers. We are the voices that transcend borders, languages, and ideologies, advocating for a world that is inclusive, sustainable, and just. Let us delve into the key aspects of our role and the principles that guide us in this journey.The Power of DiversityThe first and foremost principle of being a global ambassador is to embrace diversity. Diversity is not just about different cultures, languages, or religions; it encompasses a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and worldviews. Embracing diversity means recognizing that each individual has a unique story to tell and a valuable contributionto make.As global ambassadors, we must celebrate our differences and learn from one another. By doing so, we foster an environment of mutual respect and understanding, which is essential for building strong, cohesivesocieties. Diversity also drives innovation and creativity, as it allows us to draw from a vast pool of ideas and solutions.Cultural Exchange and EducationOne of our primary responsibilities is to promote cultural exchange and education. This involves not only sharing our own cultural heritage but also learning about others. Through cultural exchange programs, we can break down stereotypes, reduce prejudices, and create a more empathetic and inclusive world.As global ambassadors, we can organize workshops, seminars, and cultural festivals that bring people together to share their traditions, music, art, and cuisine. We can also use social media platforms to showcase the richness of our cultures and encourage dialogue among different communities.Advocacy for Global IssuesGlobal ambassadors play a vital role in advocating for global issuesthat affect us all. Whether it is climate change, poverty, or human rights, we must use our voices to raise awareness and call for action. By collaborating with international organizations, governments, andcivil society, we can work towards finding sustainable solutions to these pressing challenges.For instance, we can participate in climate change conferences, advocate for gender equality, or support initiatives that provide education and healthcare to underserved communities. Our efforts, no matter how small, can contribute to creating a more just and sustainable world.Promoting Peace and UnderstandingIn a world where conflicts and tensions are prevalent, global ambassadors must be the champions of peace and understanding. We must work towards building bridges between nations, fostering dialogue, and resolving disputes through diplomacy and negotiation.As global ambassadors, we can engage in peacebuilding efforts by promoting intercultural dialogue, supporting conflict resolutionprograms, and advocating for the rights of marginalized groups. Our goal is to create a world where peace is not just a word but a reality.Personal Responsibility and LeadershipLastly, being a global ambassador requires personal responsibility and leadership. We must lead by example, demonstrating integrity, compassion, and a strong commitment to our values. Our actions should reflect our belief in a better future for all humanity.We must also be willing to take risks, challenge the status quo, and push the boundaries of what is considered possible. As leaders, we have the power to inspire others to join us in this noble cause, creating a ripple effect that can change the world.In conclusion, the role of global ambassadors in a connected world is multifaceted and vital. We are the agents of change, the connectors of cultures, and the advocates for a more inclusive and sustainable future. By embracing diversity, promoting cultural exchange, advocating for global issues, promoting peace, and demonstrating personalresponsibility, we can make a meaningful impact on our world.Ladies and gentlemen, let us carry the torch of global ambassadors with pride and determination. Let us work together to create a world where every voice is heard, every culture is celebrated, and every human being is valued. Thank you.[Applause]。

美国国务卿克里在美国驻古巴大使馆重开仪式英语演讲稿

美国国务卿克里在美国驻古巴大使馆重开仪式英语演讲稿

美国国务卿克里在美国驻古巴大使馆重开仪式英语演讲稿Please be seated, everybody. Thank you very, very much. Muchas gracias. Buenos dias. I'm so sorry that we are a little bit late today, but what a beautiful ride in and how wonderful to be here.And I thank you for leaving my future transportation out here in back of me. I love it. (Laughter.)Distinguished members of the Cuban delegation – Josefina, thank you for your leadership andfor all your work of your delegation; excellencies from the diplomatic corps; mycolleaguesfrom Washington, past and present; AmbassadorDeLaurentis and all of the embassy staff; andfriends watching around the world, thank you for joining us at this truly historic moment as weprepare to raise the United States flag here at our embassy in Havana, symbolizing the re-establishment of diplomatic relations after 54 years. This is also the first time that a UnitedStates Secretary of State has been to Cuba since 1945. (Applause.)This morning I feel very much at home here, and I'm grateful to those who have e to sharein this ceremony who are standing around outside of our facilities, and I feel at home herebecause this is truly a memorable occasion – a day for pushing aside old barriers and exploringnew possibilities.And it is in that spirit that I say on behalf of my country, Los Estados Unidos acogen conbeneplacito este nuevo ienzo de su relacion con el pueblo y el Gobierno de Cuba. Sabemosque el camino hacia unas relaciones plenamente normales es largo, peroes precisamente porello que tenemos que empezar en este mismo instante. No hay nada que temer, ya que seranmuchos los beneficios de los que gozaremos cuando permitamos a nuestros ciudadanosconocerse mejor, visitarse con mas frecuencia, realizar negocios de forma habitual,intercambiar ideas y aprender los unos de los otros.My friends, we are gathered here today because our leaders –President Obama and PresidentCastro – made a courageous decision to stop being the prisoners of history and to focus onthe opportunities of today and tomorrow. This doesn't mean that we should or will fet thepast; how could we, after all? At least for my generation, the images are indelible.In 1959, Fidel Castro came to the United States and was greeted by enthusiastic crowds.Returning the next year for the UN General Assembly, he was embraced by then-Soviet PremierNikita Khrushchev. In 1961, the Bay of Pigs tragedy unfolded with President Kennedy acceptingresponsibility. And in October 1962, the missile crisis arose – 13 days that pushed us to thevery threshold of nuclear war. I was a student then, and I can still remember the taut faces ofour leaders, the grim map showing the movement of opposing ships, the approachingdeadline, and that peculiar word – quarantine. We were unsettled and uncertain about thefuture because we didn't know when closing our eyes at night what we would find when wewoke up.In that frozen environment, diplomatic ties between Washington and this capital city werestrained, then stretched thin, then severed. In late 1960, the U.S. ambassador left Havana.Early the following January, Cuba demanded a big cut inthe size of our diplomatic mission,and President Eisenhower then decided he had no choice but to shut the embassy down.Most of the U.S. staff departed quickly, but a few stayed behind to hand the keys over to ourSwiss colleagues, who would serve diligently and honorably as our protecting power for morethan 50 years. I just met with the Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter, and we're grateful toSwitzerland always for their service and their help. (Applause.)Among those remaining at the embassy were three Marine guards: Larry Morris, Mike East, andJim Tracy. As they stepped outside, they were confronted by a large crowd standing betweenthem and the flagpole. Tensions were high. No one felt safe. But the Marines had a mission toacplish. And slowly, the crowd just parted in front of them as they made their way to theflagpole, lowered Old Glory, folded it, and returned to the building.Larry, Mike, and Jim had done their jobs, but they also made a bold promise that one day theywould return to Havana and raise the flag again. (Applause.)At the time, no one could have imagined how distant that day would be.For more than half a century, U.S.-Cuban relations have been suspended in the amber of ColdWar politics. In the interim, a whole generation of Americans and Cubans have grown up andgrown old. The United States has had ten new presidents. In a united Germany, the Berlin Wallis a fading memory. Freed from Soviet shackles, Central Europe is again home to thrivingdemocracies. And last week, I was in Hanoi to mark the 20th anniversary ofnormalization of relationsbetween the United States and Vietnam. Think about that. A long and terrible war that inflictedindelible scars on body and mind, followed by two decades of mutual healing, followed byanother two decades of diplomatic and mercial engagement. In this period, Vietnamevolved from a country torn apart by violence into a dynamic society with one of the world'sfastest growing economies. And all that time, through reconciliation, through normalization,Cuban-American relations remained locked in the past.Meanwhile, new technologies enabled people everywhere to benefit from shared projects acrossvast stretches of ocean and land. My friends, it doesn't take a GPS to realize that the road ofmutual isolation and estrangement that the United States and Cuba were traveling was notthe right one and that the time has e for us to move in a more promising direction.In the United States, that means recognizing that U.S. policy is not the anvil on which Cuba'sfuture will be fed. Decades of good intentions aside, the policies of the past have not led to ademocratic transition in Cuba. It would be equally unrealistic to expect normalizing relationsto have, in a short term, a transformational impact. After all, Cuba's future is for Cubans toshape. Responsibility for the nature and quality of governance and accountability rests, as itshould, not with any outside entity; but solely within the citizens of this country.But the leaders in Havana – and the Cuban people – should also know that the United Stateswill always remain a champion of democratic principles and reforms. Like many othergovernments in and outside this hemisphere, we willcontinue to urge the Cuban Governmentto fulfill its obligations under the UN and inter-American human rights covenants –obligationsshared by the United States and every other country in the Americas.And indeed, we remain convinced the people of Cuba would be best served by genuinedemocracy, where people are free to choose their leaders, express their ideas, practice theirfaith; where the mitment to economic and social justice is realized more fully; whereinstitutions are answerable to those they serve; and where civil society is independent andallowed to flourish.Let me be clear: The establishment of normal diplomatic relations is not something that onegovernment does as a favor to another; it is something that two countries do together when thecitizens of both will benefit. And in this case, the reopening of our embassies is important ontwo levels: People-to-people and government-to-government.First, we believe it's helpful for the people of our nations to learn more about each other, tomeet each other. That is why we are encouraged that travel from the United States to Cuba hasalready increased by 35 percent since January and is continuing to go up. We are encouragedthat more and more U.S. panies are exploring mercial ventures here that would createopportunities for Cuba's own rising number of entrepreneurs, and we are encouraged that U.S.firms are interested in helping Cuba expand its telemunications and inter links, andthat the government here recently pledged to create dozens of new and more affordable Wi-Fihotspots.We also want to acknowledge the special role that the Cuban American munity is playingin establishing a new relationship between our countries. And in fact, we have with us thismorning representatives from that munity, some of whom were born here and others whowere born in the United States. With their strong ties of culture and family, they cancontribute much to the spirit of bilateral cooperation and progress that we are seeking tocreate, just as they have contributed much to their munities in their adopted land.The restoration of diplomatic ties will also make it easier for our governments to engage.After all, we are neighbors, and neighbors will always have much to discuss in such areas as civilaviation, migration policy, disaster preparedness, protecting marine environment, globalclimate change, and other tougher and more plicated issues. Having normal relationsmakes it easier for us to talk, and talk can deepen understanding even when we know full wellwe will not see eye to eye on everything. We are all aware that notwithstanding President Obama's new policy, the overall U.S.embargo on trade with Cuba remains in place and can only be lifted by congressional action –a step that we strongly favor. For now – (applause). For now, the President has taken steps toease restrictions on remittances, on exports and imports to help Cuban private entrepreneurs,on telemunications, on family travel, but we want to go further. The goal of all of thesechanges is to help Cubans connect to the world and to improve their lives. And just as we aredoing our part, we urge the Cuban Government to make it less difficult for their citizens tostart businesses, to engage in trade, accessinformation online. The embargo has always beensomething of a two-way street – both sides need to remove restrictions that have been holdingCubans back.Before closing, I want to sincerely thank leaders throughout the Americas who have long urgedthe United States and Cuba to restore normal ties. I thank the Holy Father Pope Francis andthe Vatican for supporting the start of a new chapter in relations between our countries. And Ithink it is not accidental that the Holy Father will e here and then to Washington, theUnited States at this moment. I applaud President Obama and President Castro both forhaving the courage to bring us together in the face of considerable opposition. I amgrateful to Assistant Secretary of State Roberta Jacobson and her team, to our counterparts inthe Cuban Foreign Ministry, to our chief of mission, Ambassador Jeff DeLaurentis and hisextraordinary staff, for all of the hard work that has led up to this day. And I just say to ourwonderful embassy staff, if you think you've been busy these past months, hold on to yourseatbelts. (Laughter.)But above all, above all, I want to pay tribute to the people of Cuba and to the CubanAmerican munity in the United States. Jose Marti once said that “everything that dividesmen…is a sin against humanity.” Clearly, the events of the past – the harsh words, theprovocative and retaliatory actions, the human tragedies – all have been a source of deepdivision that has diminished our mon humanity. There have been too many days ofsacrifice and sorrow; too many decades of suspicion and fear. That is why I am heartened bythe many on both sides of the Straitswho – whether because of family ties or a simple desire toreplace anger with something more productive – have endorsed this search for a better path.We have begun to move down that path without any illusions about how difficult it may be. Butwe are each confident in our intentions, confident in the contacts that we have made, andpleased with the friendships that we have begun to fe.And we are certain that the time is now to reach out to one another, as two peoples who are nolonger enemies or rivals, but neighbors – time to unfurl our flags, raise them up, and let theworld know that we wish each other well.Estamos seguros de que este es el momento de acercarnos: dos pueblos ya no enemigos nirivales, sino vecinos. Es el momento de desplegar nuestras banderas, enarbolarlas y hacerlesaber al resto del mundo que nos deseamos lo mejor los unos a los otros. It is with that healing mission in mind that I turn now to Larry Morris, Jim Tracy, and MikeEast. Fifty-four years ago, you gentlemen promised to return to Havana and hoist the flag overthe United States Embassy that you lowered on that January day long ago. Today, I invite youon behalf of President Obama and the American people to fulfill that pledge by presenting theStars and Stripes to be raised by members of our current military detachment.Larry, Jim, and Mike, this is your cue to deliver on words that would make any diplomat proud,just as they would any member of the United States Marine Corps: Promise made, promisekept. Thank you.。

And we are looking to the private sector to help us . There are so many ways that we are grateful to the private sector . After all , it drives what we are talking about today . But we do need to try to consider , even within the constraints of modern financial practices and expectations , not just short - term benefits but long - term consequences . The work that each of you do in your businesses can help lift people & rsquo ; s lives , promote human rights and dignity , and create new markets , creating a virtuous cycle . Or it can further ensnare people in poverty and environmental degradations , creating a vicious cycle .我们正在帮助创业者同美国各地的移民社区取得联系,他们热切希望资助与他们有着家庭纽带的国家的新项目。
