春有百花秋有月，夏有涼風(fēng)冬有雪。四季變換，云卷云舒，生活處處是風(fēng)景。但在世間，人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，草木是否也具有無以言表的情感呢?光華美高本期演講話題圍繞著“植物有感情嗎?”展開，大家對(duì)此展開精彩的論述。

第二屆英語公眾演講

本場**位選手同學(xué)認(rèn)為在春暖花開的季節(jié)里，許多花朵會(huì)爭相開放，這主要是為了向人們傳達(dá)自身的感受而展露無限的魅力。它們表達(dá)情感的方式是綻放最美麗的一面。在北風(fēng)呼嘯的季節(jié)里，梅花和山茶花的綻放可能在傳達(dá)悲傷，這正是它們?cè)诙鹃_花的原因。

I’m not a plant I don’t even know whether they have their own feelings or not. Unlike humans, when we’re sad, we cry. But plants don’t, actually they can’t.

第二位選手是杜同學(xué)，在他看來，植物有感覺嗎?當(dāng)然有!這主要體現(xiàn)在污染和病毒上。他分享了曾經(jīng)看過的一個(gè)視頻，里面提及人類的語言也能改變植物，從而論證了植物真的有感情。

Do plants have feeling? I think yes. Because the ppt have a big yes there.ok there is toooooo much reason. the video tell us the reason why plants have feeling before we watch the video I want to share a story, the story is told by my father he said when he studied in shanghai his friend told him plants have feeling. Even the snowflake on the window, the flake will change the style by the people in the house. If the people is bad the flake will very ugly but if there is good people in the house the flake will be beautiful and big. Sometimes when you cut a plant by accident and it was damaged, sometimes it will not grow again. Why the plants can’t grow again?because the drug make the plant’s cell broke and they can’t grow again. First the drugs in to the plant’s body and next the plants start to grow but it can’t because the drug stop the cell and kill them. Sometimes the plants would grow again after the drug, but some not. The video tell us only language is easy to kill a plants, so why drugs and pollution can’t?

第三位選手羅同學(xué)主要從兩個(gè)方面來論證植物是有感情的，一、從物理角度分析植物的化感作用，并用植物會(huì)釋放化學(xué)氣體或者特殊的化學(xué)元素來提醒同類有危險(xiǎn)作詳細(xì)解釋;二、從個(gè)人情感角度分析，植物存在害怕、同情或其他情感表現(xiàn)，比如在火柴接近的時(shí)候植物會(huì)發(fā)出強(qiáng)烈的電信號(hào)表示恐懼。

The consistency of the above experiments interested Baxter so much that later he placed one plant, along with several poor shrimps ready to sacrifice themselves, in each of three rooms, connected them to the electrodes of an instrument, and locked the door up so that the plants were entirely isolated. The next day, he went to see the analysis report of the experiment and found that each activity curve of the separated plants increased sharply every time the shrimps were put into boiling water for six or seven seconds. Consequently, Baxter pointed out that the shrimp's sufferings caused a sharp response in the plants, indicating a link between the shrimps' sufferings and the plants’ ability of sensing such awful feelings from nearby creatures.

第四位選手鄭同學(xué)認(rèn)為植物是有感情的，她主要從科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)比、音樂影響與人們對(duì)植物賦予感情這三個(gè)方面進(jìn)行演講。

But as far as I am concerned, plants must have feelings. First, they need encouragements and motivation to grow just like human being do.I have an evidence to prove that.An American named Willie, who once did an experiment, picked two leaves from the flower bed, one in the living room and the other on the nightstand. When he got up every day, he looked at the leaves by the bed. Encouraged it to continue to live and ignored the other one. A month later, what happened?The leaf he ignored had turned yellow, while the leaf he inspired every day was not only alive, but also just like when he first took it off.

Willie's test results attracted the interest of Ogle, the chief chemist of the International General Machinery Company. He believed that a leaf can continue to be green because of its spiritual strength beyond its limit of life, which is enough to show that plants can gain energy from the human body and sense human intentions. In order to prove this, he did an experiment and found plants do have some spiritual or emotional communication with people.

第五位選手陳同學(xué)認(rèn)為植物具有向光性與向水性，在逆境中正是因?yàn)檫@些特性**了它們的生存，他們強(qiáng)烈的“求圣欲”支撐著生命的延續(xù)。同時(shí)，他將植物的“勇敢”與人類的情感起來。當(dāng)今高速發(fā)展的社會(huì)，如果我們畏于前進(jìn)，那么失敗是不可避免的，因而我們要敢于定目標(biāo)，勇往直前。If we humans do not have this feature, Nor would the United States have expelled the early colonizers on the American continent; nor would Martin Luther King have declared I have a dream to win equal rights; nor would China have defeated invaders hundreds years ago; nor would peacemakers have destroyed the Nazidom in World War II.

最后，伴隨著同學(xué)們熱烈的掌聲，經(jīng)過激烈的角逐，本場排名**的是鄭欣同學(xué)。勝不驕，敗不餒，讓我們繼續(xù)期待下一場的精彩演講!
