英語優秀演講稿：感激
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges and distinguished guest! This is Alex time! Ha-ha…My topic today is to show our gratitude to people around you.
Then what is gratitude? At the moment a well-known song comes into my mind. Yes, that is called Heart of feel grateful. My heart is filled up with gratitude because I’m with you/Your make me courageous to be myself from cradle to the grave/So now I wanna thank for destiny/I’ll cherish the flower when it blooms until falls. The poetic lyric tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind.
Once upon a time, the Pilgrims took the May Flower Ship to North America. They started a new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they encountered. After a long-time work, they got a big harvest. The Pilgrims had a feast in 1621 near Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is often referred to as the first Thanksgiving. People show their sincere gratitude towards the God, the nature, the earth, the river, the Indians and themselves.
How can we express our gratitude? It’s never a simple question to answer. Gratitude is a rare jewel, not a piece of cake, I know. But how can we expect such big events happening now and then? How can we be ready to say thank you ahead of time? How can we always hope to be grateful to everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity? Sometimes I may ask to myself. Is it moral? Is it honest? Is it beneficial? Is it necessary? Or the most interesting one, is it ridiculous? Ha-ha…So in my opinion, we’d better concentrate on our life’s details.
At last, what’s the significance of showing our gratitude? A proverb says that Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Wow! Until now I am not that kind of giant, but I dare to say that everyone, you and me, has the right and the duty to show our gratitude to the world, no matter rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old. Only by doing so can we achieve our human ultimate concern. Meanwhile it obviously helps to build up a harmonious society.
All in all, a world full of gratitude is preciously expected for thousands of years. Why not show our gratitude to people around you?
Thank you very much!

晚上好，女士們，先生們，尊敬的法官和貴賓!這是亞歷克斯時間!哈哈，我今天的主題是向你們周圍的人們表達我們的感激之情。
那么感恩是什么?此刻，一首著名的歌曲進入我的腦海。是的，那叫做感恩的心。我的心充滿感激，因為我和你/你讓我勇敢地從搖籃到墳墓，所以現在我要感謝命運/我會珍惜花開時，直到秋天。詩意的抒情告訴我們感恩其實是一種心態。
從前，朝圣者乘坐五月花船去美國北部。他們在那里開始了新的生活盡管遇到了許多困難和困難。經過長時間的工作，他們獲得了大豐收。朝圣者們在普利茅斯附近的1621個地方舉行了一次宴會，這是通常被稱為第一次的感恩節，即在公元前年。人們對上帝、自然、大地、河流、印第安人和他們自己表示由衷的感激。
我們怎樣才能表達我們的感激之情?這不是一個簡單的問題來回答。我知道，感激是珍貴的寶石，不是一塊蛋糕。但是，我們怎么能期望這樣的大事件不時發生呢?我們如何準備好提前說謝謝?我們怎么總是希望感激每一個人，因為他們的尊嚴和慷慨?有時我會問自己。它是道德的嗎?誠實嗎?它有益嗎?有必要嗎?或者最有趣的，是荒謬的嗎?哈哈……所以在我看來，我們最好把精力放在生活細節上。
最后，感恩的意義何在?有句諺語說感恩是高尚靈魂的標志。真的!到現在為止，我不是那種巨人，但我敢說，每個人，你和我，都有權利和義務去表達我們對世界的感激之情，無論貧富，快樂或悲傷，年輕或年老。只有這樣，我們才能達到人類終極關懷。同時，它顯然有助于構建和諧社會。
總之，感恩的世界是珍貴的預期數千年。為什么不向你周圍的人表達我們的感激之情呢?
非常感謝你!
