彈指一揮間，草長鶯飛的春天已成為模糊的過往，炎炎夏日已經(jīng)悄無聲息地來到了我們身邊。6月6日，光華美高第十二期英語公眾演講如期而至，本場選手分別是來自九年級的趙同學 、梅同學 、狄同學 、虞同學 和十一年級的潘同學 ，本期的話題十分豐富，既有經(jīng)濟學的經(jīng)典理論，也有備受年輕人喜愛的動漫和游戲。

英語公眾演講第十二期

趙同學 Chi-bi Maruko

趙同學的演講圍繞著一個著名的日本動漫人物展開。一提到櫻桃小丸子，想必大家腦海中就浮現(xiàn)出一個機靈小女孩的形象，大家不僅喜歡她可愛的卡通形象，而且生活中跟小丸子有關的一系列的物品也是備受歡迎。趙同學認為，這個卡通形象之所以如此受歡迎的原因有兩個：**，小丸子擁有生活中大多數(shù)人所向往的幸福生活，是人類情感寄托的載體;第二，其實小丸子就是平凡人群的一員，人們透過她的故事可以感悟和反省自己，彷佛看到了另外一個自己。最后，她還向逝去的櫻桃小丸子的漫畫家致敬，感謝她給我們帶來的這份快樂和美好。

Chi-bi Maruko, like us, she has all the emotions that we have, this is our similarity with this role, and what happened to her every day is no different from us. Paying attention to her life and story can fill the gap in our hearts and help people find spiritual support. She was humble and slowly found herself not the center of the world, much like our childhood. People can find the sunshine in her to fill the hole of their own life and heart, and can also relate to her shortcomings and difficulties.

梅同學 South Korean variety Show

梅同學以韓國的綜藝節(jié)目為主題展開演講。在日常生活中，人們越來越重視休閑活動，而觀看綜藝節(jié)目也成為了最為熱門的娛樂方式之一。為什么韓國綜藝在眾多的綜藝中能脫穎而出呢?她認為，首先，韓國綜藝節(jié)目的后期技術(shù)用得恰到好處，這使觀眾的情感能跟著節(jié)目走。其次，在每一個韓國綜藝的背后都有一只優(yōu)秀的制作團隊。最后，韓國綜藝中的嘉賓都很自然并且十分照顧對方，每一位嘉賓對待游戲都十分認真，他們之間產(chǎn)生的默契讓綜藝節(jié)目更加有趣真實。在她看來，綜藝節(jié)目不僅僅是一個消磨時間的工具，還可以讓我們學到很多，例如如何從多個角度看待問題以及默契的重要性。

With the passage of time, we pay more and more attention to leisure activities, and watching variety shows has become one of the most popular forms of entertainment. Why on earth did south Korean variety emerge from the vast sea of variety? First of all, the post-production technology of Korean variety shows is very appropriate, which makes variety shows more vivid and makes audiences' emotions follow the program. Secondly, there is an excellent production team behind every Korean variety show.

狄同學 The Paradox of Value

價值悖論是一個經(jīng)典的經(jīng)濟學理論，狄同學以此為主題，以一個具體情境拉開了演講的序幕。在一個游戲節(jié)目中，給你一瓶水和一塊鉆石二選一，想必很多人會選擇鉆石。但若是在沙漠中，可能很多人就是選擇那瓶水了。鉆石與水的悖論初次由約翰·勞提提出，后來經(jīng)濟學家亞當·斯密在說明價值決定因素時借用了這個例子。鉆石對于人類維持生存沒有任何價值，然而其市場價值非常高。相反，水是人類生存的必需品，其市場價值卻非常低。這種強烈的反差就構(gòu)成了這個悖論。最后，她指出日常生活中大多數(shù)人的選擇是以滿足基本需求為標準，只是為了實用或娛樂，需求和喜好促使每一個人做出最適合、最恰當?shù)倪x擇。

It take Adam Smith ,the pioneer of economics. And what it tells us is that defining values is not as simple as it seems. On the game show , you were thinking about each item’s exchange values. But in an emergency, like the desert, what matters far more is their use value ,how helpful they are in your current situation. And because we only get to choose one of the options , we also have to consider its opportunity cost or what we lose by giving up the other choice . After all, it doesn’t matter how much you could get from selling the diamonds ,if you never make it out of the desert.

虞同學 Animation

虞同學以動畫為話題展開演講。動畫，顧名思義就是可以移動的漫畫。為什么動畫在這個世界上有著非常巨大的影響呢? 她認為動畫可以使漫畫家筆下的形容“活”了起來，人們可以更直接地感受到角色。此外，動畫一般具有豐富的想象力，可以將我們帶進畫家創(chuàng)造的新世界里，感受不同的情緒，心靈仿佛得到凈化和升華。

What’s more, animations are imaginative, the painter expressed his imagination of the new world so well that he actually pull us into his world. What happens in this world is virtual, but it still touches us. I am often touched by people and objects in the animations. When we feel happy or sad for the characters we loved, some people may feel hard to understand. My mother is also puzzled why I put so much emotion into many false “paper man”. But what does that matter?

潘同學 Never Say Never

潘同學的演講圍繞著一種偉大的競技精神展開。他認為世上有一種神奇的精神，它可以支持人們前進，那就是歷經(jīng)坎坷，永不言棄。舉例來說，他先提及了去年的中國隊在英雄聯(lián)盟比賽奪冠的事。2018年11月3日，iG戰(zhàn)隊在2018英雄聯(lián)盟全球總決賽中以3：0的成績戰(zhàn)勝Fnatic戰(zhàn)隊，奪得最高榮耀——英雄聯(lián)盟全球總決賽冠軍，讓長達八年的全球總決賽冠軍夢變成了現(xiàn)實。之后，他又提到了另外一支勵志的隊伍——上海龍之隊。這支隊伍是2019年守望先鋒新賽季唯一的中國戰(zhàn)隊，不敢想象它曾背負40連敗的過往，曾令粉絲夢失望不已，但他們從未放棄，堅持勇往直前。終于，上海龍之隊以3:1的戰(zhàn)績擊敗波士頓崛起隊，成功甩掉自己“0之隊”外號的同時，贏得了全世界的掌聲!所以，永遠不要說永遠，永遠不要放棄，!挫折不會使人滅亡，勇敢地面對挫折，打敗挫折，成為命運的主宰!

This legend is called Shanghai dragons. It was the only Chinese team in 2018 overwatch league. As the symbol of China and domination, Shanghai dragon attracts a lot of fans when it was set up. But can you guess the achievement of shanghai dragon in the first season of OWL? The record reached staggering 0:40, Shanghai dragons never won in whole 40 games, How disappointed the fans were, but they never give up. “tearful supporting shanghai dragon”, all fans believed that we can win, shanghai dragons will fly one day, because they are dragons, we are dragons. In 2019 overwatch league, shanghai dragons reform their team, they were prepared to be a winner.

最后，經(jīng)過激烈的角逐，虞同學憑借出色的發(fā)揮拿下了本場演講的**名。當然，其他幾位同學成績也取得了不錯的成績。正如潘永誠同學在演講中提及的永不言棄的精神，一次小小的失利并不算什么，重要的是在跌倒的地方吸取教訓，勇敢地站起來前行。我們堅信，所有磨難存在的意義不是為了使人受苦，而是激發(fā)內(nèi)在的潛能，讓人們在苦難中成長和蛻變!
