化的融合表现得十分鲜明，意味深长，是篇优秀的演讲。crossing the seagood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. the title of my speech today is crossing
the sea. an english poet by the name of rudyard kipling once wrote in his poem we
and they: all the people like us are we and everyone else is theywe live over the sea
while they live over the waywe eat pork and beef with cowhorn-handled knives they who gobble their rice
off a leafare horrified out of their lives. when these lines first caught my eyes, i was shocked-how could two peoples remain
so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past todays society, of course, is
an entirely different picture. those people who used to eat with cowhorn-handled
knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble
their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips. indeed, just take china as an example: our modern life has been influenced by
western style of living in so many ways that its no longer surprising to see teenagers
going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at mcdonalds and even
rather elderly people dressed in apple jeans. however, these are only some expressions of the cultural changes taking place
in our society today. what is really going on is a subtle but significant restructuring
of the nations mentality. just look around. it is
therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient eastern civilization
are already living under strong inf1uence of the western culture. but it is not only
in china that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.
take the chinese acupuncture as another example: this traditional treatment of
diseases is finally finding its way to the west and hence the underlying notion that
illness is resulted from the imbalance between yin and yang within the body -- an
idea which would strike any westerner as incredible in the past! ladies and gentlemen, we live in a great epoch when the global integration of
economy and the information revolution have brought cultures of the world closer than
ever before. we live in a particular era when countries, east and west, find themselves
in need of readjusting their traditional values. we live, at the same time, at a
critical juncture of our evolution because such
problems as ethnic conflicts and
regional uest are increasingly posing a threat to the peace and happiness of the
whole human race. to cope with such an era and to embrace an even brightertherefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between china and the rest of the is my happiest dream that the new generation of chinese will not only grow
up drinking coca-cola and watching hollywood, but also be blessed with the
far-reaching benefits of multiple cultures; benefits that our forefathers had never, ever dreamed of.
to end my speech, i would like to quote rudyard kipling again: all the people like us are we and everyone else is theybut once you cross over the seayou will end by looking on we as only a sort of they thank you. 译文:穿越海洋女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:《穿越海洋》。英国诗人罗得雅德·吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫《我们与他们》，其中写道: 像我们的人是我们
