英语演讲比赛初赛用稿
爱因斯坦——我的信仰（节选）
My paionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities.I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart;in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude.The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious.It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.It was the experience of mystery--even if mixed with fear--that engendered religion.A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are acceible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity.In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man...I am satisfied with the mystery of life's eternity and with a knowledge, a sense, of the marvelous structure of existence--as well as the humble attempt to understand even a tiny portion of the Reason that manifests itself in nature." 【英文字数：239】
中译：我对社会正义和社会责任的强烈感觉，同我显然的对别人和社会直接接触的淡漠，两者总是形成古怪的对照。我实在是一个“孤独的旅客”，我未曾全心全意地属于我的国家，我的家庭，我的朋友，甚至我最接近的亲人；在所有这些关系面前，我总是感觉到有一定距离并且需要保持孤独——而这感受正与年俱增。人们会清楚地发觉，同别人的相互了解和协调一致是有限度的，但这不足惋惜。这样的人无疑有点失去他的天真无邪和无忧无虑的心境；但另一方面，他却能够在很大程度上不为别人的意见、习惯和判断所左右，并且能够不受诱惑要去把他的内心平衡建立在这样一些不可靠的基础之上。
我们所能有的最美好的经验是奥秘的经验。它是坚守在真正艺术和真正科学发源地上的基本感情。谁要是体验不到它，谁要是不再有好奇心也不再有惊讶的感觉，他就无异于行尸走肉，他的眼睛是迷糊不清的。就是这样奥秘的经验——虽然掺杂着恐怖——产生了宗教。我们认识到有某种为我们所不能洞察的东西存在，感觉到那种只能以其最原始的形式为我们感受到的最深奥的理性和最灿烂的美——正是这种认识和这种情感构成了真正的宗教感情；在这个意义上，而且也只是在这个意义上，我才是一个具有深挚的宗教感情的人。我无法想象一个会对自己的创造物加以赏罚的上帝，也无法想象它会有像在我们自己身上所体验到的那样一种意志。我不能也不愿去想象一个人在肉体死亡以后还会继续活着；让那些脆弱的灵魂，由于恐惧或者由于可笑的唯我论，去拿这种思想当宝贝吧！我自己只求满足于生命永恒的奥秘，满足于觉察现存世界的神奇的结构，窥见它的一鳞半爪，并且以诚挚的努力去领悟在自然界中显示出来的那个理性的一部分，即使只是其极小的一部分，我也就心满意足了。
斯诺登——圣诞演讲（有删减）
I'm honored to have the chance to speak with you and your family this year.Recently, we learned that our governments, working in concert, have created a system of worldwide ma surveillance, watching everything we do.Great Britain's George Orwell warned us of the danger of this kind of information.The types of collection in the book--microphones and video cameras, TVs that watch us--are nothing compared to what we have available today.We have sensors in our pockets that track us everywhere we go.Think about what this means for the privacy of the average person.A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all.They'll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves--an unrecorded, unanalyzed thought.And that's a problem, because privacy matters.Privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be.The conversation occurring today will determine the amount of trust we can place both in the technology that surrounds us and the government that regulates it.Together, we can find a better balance.End ma surveillance.And remind the government that if it really wants to know how we feel, asking is always cheaper than spying.For everyone out there listening, thank you, and Merry Christmas.【英文字数：235】
中译：很荣幸今年能有机会向你们和你们的家人发出祝福。我最近发现，我们的政府共同创建了一套覆盖全球的庞大监视系统，监视着我们的一举一动。英国的乔治.奥威尔（《1984》作者）曾就这个问题警示过我们，他们用书中的麦克风、摄像头、电视机来实现监视的，这与我们当今的监视手段完全不可同日而语。我们的口袋里现在都已经有了传感器（手机等移动终端），可以追踪我们的所有动向。想一想，这对普通人的隐私意味着什么。现代监控远比想象的更有入侵性。今天的孩子长大后，将无法知晓隐私为何物。他们将完全不知道拥有自己的隐私时间是什么意思，这意味着一个未被记录、未被分析的想法。这很成问题，因为隐私很重要。正是隐私让我们决定了自己是谁，以及想成为什么样的人。今天发生的对话将决定我们可以对周围的各种技术，以及负责监督它的政府给予多少信任。团结起来，我们可以找到更好的平衡，终结美国政府监控，并提醒政府，如果它真的想要知道我们的感受，询问我们总是比监控我们花费少。感谢所有听众，圣诞快乐。
乔布斯——斯坦福大学演讲（节选）I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.The heavine of being succeful was replaced by the lightne of being a beginner again, le sure about everything.It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple.It was awful tasting medicine, but I gue the patient needed it.Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.Don't lose faith.I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.You've got to find what you love.And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.Don't settle.As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.So keep looking until you find it.Don't settle.【英文字数：228】
中译：我当时没有觉察, 但是事后证明, 从苹果公司被炒是我这辈子发生的最棒的事情。因为，作为一个成功者的极乐感觉被作为一个创业者的轻松感觉所重新代替: 对任何事情都不那么特别看重。这让我觉得如此自由, 进入了我生命中最有创造力的一个阶段。我可以非常肯定,如果我不被Apple开除的话, 这其中一件事情也不会发生的。这个良药的味道实在是太苦了,但是我想病人需要这个药。有些时候, 生活会拿起一块砖头向你的脑袋上猛拍一下。不要失去信心。我很清楚唯一使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我无比钟爱。你需要去找到你所爱的东西。对于工作是如此, 对于你的爱人也是如此。你的工作将会占据生活中很大的一部分。你只有相信自己所做的是伟大的工作, 你才能怡然自得。如果你现在还没有找到, 那么继续找、不要停下来、全心全意的去找, 当你找到的时候你就会知道的。就像任何真诚的关系, 随着岁月的流逝只会越来越紧密。所以继续找，直到你找到它，不要停下来！
