I have thrown this party, because I wanted to thank you all for being kind to me while I have been ing back, it seems like a very short five years living here and working together with you.
My wife and I still remember the first day we arrived in Los Angeles, and every thing looked so huge, compared with things in Taipei.
The first several months were a difficult time, but we tried very hard to adapt ourselves to the new environment, new life style, and a new place of work.
There were times of disappointment, anger, and humiliation, and there were also times of joy, excitement, and happiness, Through them all, you have always been with us to share the sorrow and happiness, and we are deeply grateful to you for ions of thanks to you all, and dont forget to finish your dinner before it gets s:being kind to me :关照while I have been here:在我任职此地期间through them all:始终
I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years. I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted. But one of the panel members told me: "You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged." My life has never been the same since. I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.
As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party. Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English. Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf. To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. As the dwarf, I was a big hit.
Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.
A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.
Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world. I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites. I would rather be myself. I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. Please, be yourself.
译文:我重树信心
大学生活的几年里,当我参加第一次面试时,我的自信心受到了沉重的打击。我向"学生剧团"申请出演一个主角,而且我十分自信地认为我会被录用。但是,其中有个剧团成员告诉我:"你似乎不太合适出演这个角色,因为你的身高有点问题。"我从未遇到过这种情况。我穿着高跟鞋来弥补我的身高,采用心理策略和技巧来掩盖自己信心的缺乏。但是,不论我怎样努力进入角色,感觉还是缺少些什么。
作为英语俱乐部的主席,我为英语晚会组织排演了《白雪公主》短剧。不幸的是,我们找不到合适的人选出演最后一个小矮人。这个角色必须生性幽默,英语流利。突然,所有人的目光都转向了我,我知道那个小矮人就是我了。让我极度奇怪而又高兴的是,一上台,我完全投入到演出中,而且我那幽默的天性被发挥得淋漓尽致。作为一个‘’小矮人",我取得了巨大的成功。
的确,我们中的任何一个人都是千百万中的一员,但我们中的每个人都是一个与众不同的个体。发挥我们自己的个性会改变我们的生活,使它们成为美丽的万花筒。
失去了多样性的世界是个冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲剧不是个矮、害羞或丑陋,而是将自己的个性迷失在一个克隆的世界里,那里到处都是典型的酷男孩或无瑕、迷人的好姑娘。
如果让我选择,我宁可面貌五陋,也不愿生活在这样一个世界里。我宁可做一个伴随"白雪公主"的真实的小矮人,也不愿做"白雪公主"世界里的一个白雪公主。
Good morning/afternoon, teachers!
I’m happy to be here. Firstly, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is xxx , my English name is xxxxx . I like to go to school. I think it’s interesting and fun.

Today, my topic is about “a sport star”. Iwant to talk about is a famous woman football player in our Country.
A girl who loves football, at the age of 12, began to play. She failed to be admitted by the football team for many years , but thecoach always encourages her: "you must be succeed next time." Later, she came into the football team. After many years, she became the captain of the Chinese women’s football is Sun wen.(展示孙雯照片)
Sunwenand her women's football team,have seen relative success ——they reached the World Cup final in 1999. The national women's team, has been knownasthe "Iron Roses"by the world.
During her training process, she suffered two serious injury, one is almost blind in the right eye; theotheris the left knee joint damage, in addition, her body hasgotdifferent degree of injury. But thosedidn’t stop her from playing , because she said: "I chose this road, I love football too much, this is my favorite cause."
She also said, “who want to make some achievementsor success ,must pay the extra effort, the reason isalsothe sameto any other area. ”
Sun Wenhas been playedfootball for 14 years, she thinks the most important thing is football, it gave hera out of the ordinary life experience, it makes hergenerous, self challenge. She also told us that, only when their team is strong , will it be respectedby audience; only when our country is strong, the motherland will be win the world'srespect.
In 20xx, International Federation of Association Footballgive The title “The Best Woman Football Player of the Millenium” to Sun Wen. At this moment, all China is encouraged.

Sports, including football, make us grow in the wind and rain, make us stronger and more beautiful. Come on, friends, don't wait! Come on, let’s go for dreams!
That’s my share , thank you!
Respect teacher, dear students: everyone!
Come on when I was thinking to use don't have to do a self-introduction, I think or very be necessary after doing a, first of all, I know people don't have to know me, because I'm not a star, then do a self-introduction one any good? Is convenient in your criticism or critical to name names, not thinking of when I pointed to my nose but doesn't know by name, I will be worried about you. It will be a very painful thing.
My name is xx, not surnamed liu, but the surname field, have a classmate say my mother surnamed liu, I definitely tell you is my mother also not surname liu, said don't understand my mother surnamed liu who are? , of course, if you call me = = =, I will feel hospitable, the title of my speech is the beautiful campus, my home is where I first statement, the following point of view, for my personal identity, if got everyone's identity, my pleasure.
Warm, all things recovery, the river of the branches of the weeping willows stretch opened the yellow green leaves, like a natural barrier at the edge of campus, the river flows slowly, play a QuChun, please we try a grateful heart to feel the nature has given us all this, also grateful for our school to the picturesque environment in which to learn, because Thanksgiving will have more mining the society, because Thanksgiving will be sincere friendship, in the same way, because Thanksgiving will be the beautiful and - harmonic campus, Thanksgiving is not just a behavior, is also a state of mind. Why do you say so? Below I ask you a question: "the school motto of tsinghua university is a" unyielding and hold world with virtue ", so what is our motto?" Understand please raise your hand! Ok, I'll tell everyone "building new, build industry for fei" and this is our school spirit, of course, you can go to the website login web site inspection.
I think this is also our most students talk about school proud of! Actually put this as a school proud capital, is the school of sorrow! Spring is coming, life, it is a good place for rest after dinner, we also exercise our will, in short I insist every day after night lessons will go around the large training run on two or three laps, not only exercise the body itself, also formed the habit of meditation, and our school dining hall, from 7 o 'clock in the morning to night lessons, as to have a meal at any time, just I love this kind of lining up to buy the rice. And the school's swimming pool (right about swimming pool events, knower silent, said this also don't ask, don't carry forward the spirit of the pursuit of learning) you, cinemas (I promise myself go to the movies once a week, is not, of course, in the net cafe or bedroom). These where you may not understand, but I can very negative duties of say; Yes, it's just you didn't go to the development and utilization.
Finally, a recommendation or advice to the school, the fortunes of a world rise and fall, rise and fall, also is responsible for students, not just at the moment and after graduation is a duty, because you are out of school is a representative of the school. At the moment I think the school lacks a bit of "culture", the so-called "culture", of smell. Companies have a "culture" to grow, schools have a "culture" was able to do school in one hundred. At present the leadership of the very thought of. Statement again, this view person, such as can get recognized, my pleasure. If there is any dissent, let's discuss in private. Thank you very much to spend your precious time to listen to me this crap, I gratitude not jing.
尊敬的`老师、亲爱的同学们:大家好!
在上来的时候我就在思考用不用做一个自我介绍,我想了之后还是很有必要做一个的,首先我认识的人不必须认识我,毕竟我不是明星,其次做一个自我介绍有一个什么好处呢?就是方便在你们批评或者批判的时候能够指名道姓,不至于在想批我的时候指着我的鼻子却叫不上名字,我会替你们着急的。那将是一件多么痛苦的事情啊。
我叫xx,不是姓刘,而是姓田,有同学说我妈妈姓刘,我明确的告诉你就是我妈妈也不姓刘,真不明白说我妈妈姓刘的人居心何在?当然如果叫我===,我会倍感亲切,我演讲的题目是《美丽的校园——我的家》在那里我首先声明,以下观点,为我个人所认同,如果得到大家的认同,不胜荣幸。
春风和煦,万物复苏,河边的垂柳舒展开了黄绿嫩叶的枝条,似校园边上的一道天然屏障,河水缓缓流淌,演奏一曲春的赞歌,请我们试用一颗感恩的心去体会大自然所赐予我们的这一切,同时也感恩学校为我们带给这个风景如画的学习环境,因为感恩才会有这个多采的社会,因为感恩才会有真挚的友情,同样,因为感恩才会有这美丽和谐的校园,感恩不仅仅是一种行为,也是一种心态。为什么要这样说呢?下方我问大家一个问题:“清华大学的校训是‘自强不息、厚德载物’,那么我院的校训是什么?”明白的请举手!好的,由我来告诉大家“建物格新,筑业为范”这也是我院办学的精神,当然您能够去网站登录网址查阅。
我想这也是我们大多数同学谈起学校时骄傲的地方吧!其实把这当成学校骄傲的资本,是学校的悲哀!春天来了,花香鸟语,正是我们饭后休息的好去处,同时也是我们锻炼身体的必选之地,总之我坚持每一天晚自习过后都会去围着那个大的训练场跑上两三圈,不仅仅锻炼了自我的身体,也养成了静思的习惯,还有咱们学校的饭堂,从早上七点到晚自习前,随到随时有饭吃,正合我这种不爱排队买饭的人。还有学校的游泳馆(对了关于游泳馆事件,知者不语,不知者也不要问,千万别发扬你们追求学问的精神)、电影院(我保证自我每周看一次电影,当然不是在网吧或者寝室)。这些你们或许都不明白在哪里,但是我能够很负职责的说;有,只是你没有去开发利用而已。
最后,向学校提一个推荐或者说是意见,天下兴亡匹夫有责,学院兴衰,学子也有责,不仅仅此刻又责毕业之后更是有责,因为你走出了校门代表的是一个学校。此刻我认为学校缺少一点“文化”,所谓“文化”这,闻而化之。企业有“文化”才能够发展壮大,学校有“文化”才能够做到百年名校。望在座的领导甚思之。再声明一下,以上观点个人所述,如能得到大家认同,不胜荣幸。如有异议者,咱们私下讨论。多谢大家能够破费您的宝贵的时光来听我这一堆废话,我感恩不荆。
接听电话篇
1. abc corporation. may i help you?
abc公司,我能帮你什么吗?
这句话算是制式的讲法.一般接起电话的人通常会先报公司的名字"abc corporation",然后再说, "may i help you?"或是如果要更客气一点的话则可以说"how can i help you?" (我该怎么帮你?),因为这样的问法表示我‘该'怎么帮你,而非我‘需不需要'帮你?但基本上"may i help you?"跟"how can i help you?"都很常见就是了.
不过如果是机器接的电话,则听到的多半是这样, "thanks for calling abc corporation, if you know your party's last name or extention, press 1. if you want to recieve information or publication, press 2. if you want to talk to the operator, press pound sign or remain on the line." (感谢你打电话到abc来,如果你知道你要找的人的姓或是分机号码,请按1,如果是想要本公司的简介或出版品,请按2,如果是要找总机,请按#,或是请别挂断.
2. and you are?
你是?
如果人家打电话来是要找你的上司, "may i talk to your manager?" (我能不能跟你们经理讲话?)这时你总不能糊里糊涂地就把电话拿给经理说,说不定人家是打电话来跟你经理勒索一百万的呢!所以通常我们一定要先确定打电话来的是谁.最客气的问法是, "whom i am speaking with?"或是"whom am i talking to?" (我正在跟谁讲话呢?)但是人家一听是像我这种小毛头打电话找他们经理,他们就会用比较口语的说法, "and you are?" (你是?)如果人家这样问我,我就可以答, "this is benlin."
像是"and you are?"这么口语的.英文书上大概学不到,但这却是老美天天在用的句子,只怕你学了之后还不敢用.其实真的不用怕.越简单的句子老美越听得懂.而且事实上"and you are?"这句话还有许多适用的场合,例如在公司的接待处(reception).来访的客人如果说, "i'm looking for mr. wolf." (我要找伍夫先生)接待小姐就可以反问他, "and you are?" (你是?)所以像这种简单又好用的句子大家一定要记起来喔!
3. i'll put her on the phone. just a second.
我会请她听电话,请等一下。
put someone on the phone这个片语就是说请某人听电话.例如你打电话找你女朋友,结果女朋友的同事接了电话,就开始跟你东扯西扯,问你们昨天是不是吵架了啊?什么时候要结婚啦,这时如果你实在不想跟她讲了,就可以说, "could you please just put her on the phone?" (你能不能请她来听电话啊?)反过来如果今天是你接到了电话,结果要找的是别人,你就可以说, "ok. i'll put her on the phone. just a second." (好,我会请她听电话,请稍等一下。)
上面讲的put someone on the phone,指的多半是只有一只电话时,但如果像公司里有许多分机,则用‘转接' transfer或是redirect.会比较恰当。例如同样的情况你可以说,"i'm transferring your call."或是"i'm redirecting your call." (我帮你转接到分机给她。)如果是接线生转接的话,他们有时就只简单地说,"one moment, please."或是, "ok. i'll put you through."
4. would you mind holding for one minute?
你介不介意稍微等一分钟啊?
在美国如果有机会打电话给客户服务(customer service)部门,如果没意外的话都会听到以下的电话录音, "all of our representitives are currently busy serving their customers. your call will be answered in approximate 5 minutes" (我们所有的客服人员都在忙着服务他们的顾客,请等五分钟后,就会有人接听你的电话),然后十分钟过去了, "please continue to hold, your call is very important to us." (请继续等候,你的来电对我们非常重要)。所以大家要知道,老美基本上对这种无止境的等待是深恶痛绝的,所以要记得,如果人家打电话来,千万不要因为听不懂就说, "hold on",然后就跑去求救兵,这对打电话来的人是十分不礼貌的。如果万不得已一定要请他稍候,我们要客气一点地说,"would you mind holding for one minute?"所以记得要给对方一个明确的时间,例如one second或是five minites不要让对方无止境地等下去。但是如果一分钟到了你还没忙完,则最好再说一次,"sorry, i am still on the phone. could you hold for another minute?" (对不起,我还在讲电话,能不能再请你稍候一分钟。)
5. he's out for lunch. would you like to try again an hour later?
他出去吃午餐了,你要不要一小时后再打来?
受到中文的影响,许多人要讲某人‘出去'吃午餐了常会说成, "he went out for lunch."其实这个went是多余的,通常老美只讲be out for something就行了。如果要再简化一点,单说, "he is on lunch."或是"he is on (lunch) break." (他正在休息时间。)这样子也可以。
如果别人要找的人不在,通常我们有二种选择,第一种是请别人晚点再打来,除了像例句用try again/ call again之外,我们也可以用call back/ try back这样的讲法。例如你可以建议别人,"why don't you call back in 30 minutes?" (你何不30分钟后再打来呢?)第二种选择就是请对方留言,客气一点的讲法是,"may i take your message?"或是"would you like to leave a message?" (你想留言吗?)

It is a tradition for Chinese people, when dinning, to sit around the table and share the same dishes. Different from that the westerners place flowers at the center of the dining table, the Chinese place dishes in the middle so that people could share them together. This custom reflecte the importance of food in Chinese civilization. What is more important, this way of dinning fecilitates the communication among diners. Usually, after a dinner, the relationships between friends get closer and the business partners deepen their mutual understanding. People would sometimes put the food into the bowls of the guests or the elders to show respect for them.
就餐时,围桌共食是中国人的一种传统。与西方人把鲜花放餐桌中央不同的是,中国人把菜肴放餐桌中央供大家一起享用。这种风俗体现了食物在中华文明史上的重要地位。更重要的是,这种方式促进了就餐者之间的交流。通常在一餐饭之后,朋友之间的关系更加紧密,生意合作伙伴也加深了相互了解。有时人们还会为客人或长辈夹菜,以示尊重。
