关于孔子和儒家文化的英语演讲稿~

孔子（前551-前479），中国春秋末期伟大的思想家和教育家，儒家学派的创始人。名丘，字仲尼，鲁国人。孔子生年一般按《史记·孔子世家》所记为鲁襄公二十二年，而生月生日《史记》未记，按《谷梁传》所记“十月庚子孔子 生”。换算为当今之公历应为公元前551年9月8日生。
孔子生在鲁国。鲁国为周公旦之子伯禽封地，对周代文物典籍保存完好，素有“礼乐之邦”之称。鲁襄公二十九年（前544年）吴公子季札观乐于鲁，叹为观止。鲁昭公二年（前540年）晋大夫韩宣子访鲁，观书后赞叹“周礼尽在鲁矣！”鲁国文化传统与当时学术下移的形势对孔子思想的形成有很大影响。
孔子早年丧父，家境衰落。他曾说过：“吾少也贱，故多能鄙事。”年轻时曾做过“委吏”（管理仓廪）与“乘田”（管放牧牛羊）。虽然生活贫苦，孔子十五岁即“志于学”。他善于取法他人，曾说：“三人行，必有吾师焉。择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。”（《论语·述而》）他学无常师，好学不厌，乡人也赞他“博学”。
孔子“三十而立”，并开始授徒讲学。凡带上一点“束修”的，都收为学生。如颜路、曾点、子路、伯牛、冉有、子贡、颜渊等，是较早的一批弟子。连鲁大夫孟僖子其子孟懿子和南宫敬叔来学礼，可见孔子办学已声名遐迩。私学的创设，打破了“学在官府”的传统，进一步促进了学术文化的下移。
鲁国自宣公以后，政权操在以季氏为首的三桓手中。昭公初年，三家又瓜分了鲁君的兵赋军权。孔了曾对季氏“八佾舞于庭”的僭越行为表示愤慨。昭公二十五年（前517年）鲁国内乱，孔子离鲁至齐。齐景公向孔子问政，孔子说：“君君，臣臣，父父，子子。”又说：“政在节财。”齐政权操在大夫陈氏，景公虽悦孔子言而不能用。
孔子在齐不得志，遂又返鲁，“退而修诗书礼乐，弟子弥众”，从远方来受学的，几乎遍及各诸候国。其时鲁政权操在季氏，而季氏又受制于其家臣阳货。孔子不满这种政不在君而在大夫，“陪臣执国命”的状况，不愿出仕。他说：“不义而富且贵，于我如浮云。”
鲁定公九年（前501年）阳货被逐，孔子才见用于鲁，被任为中都宰，是年孔子五十一岁。“行之一年，四方则之”。遂由中都宰迁司空，再升为大司寇。鲁定公十年（前500年）齐鲁夹谷之会，鲁由孔子相礼。孔子认为“有文事者必有武备，有武事者必有文备”，早有防范，使齐君想用武力劫持鲁君之预谋未能得逞，并运用外交手段收回被齐侵占的郓、灌、龟阴之田。定公十二年（前498年）孔子为加强公室，抑制三桓，援引古制“家不藏甲，邑无百雉之城”提出“堕三都”的计划，并通过任季氏宰的子路去实施。由于孔子利用了三桓与其家臣的矛盾，季孙氏、叔孙氏同意各自毁掉了费邑与后邑。但孟孙氏被家臣公敛处父所煽动而反对堕成邑。定公围之不克。孔子计划受挫。
孔子仕鲁，齐人闻而惧，恐鲁强而并己，乃馈女乐于鲁定公与季桓子。季桓子受齐女乐，三日不听政。孔子政治抑负难以施展，遂带领颜回、子路、子贡、冉求等十余弟子离开“父母之邦”，开始了长达十四年之久的周游列国的颠沛流离生涯。是年孔子已五十五岁。先至卫国，始受卫灵公礼遇，后又受监视，恐获罪，将适于陈。过匡地，被围困五天。解围后原欲过蒲至晋，因晋内乱而未往，只得又返卫。曾见南子，此事引起多方的猜疑。卫灵公怠于政，不用孔子。孔子说：“苟有用我者，期月而已，三年有成。”后卫国内乱，孔子离卫经曹至宋。宋司马桓魁欲杀孔子，孔子微服过宋经郑至陈，是年孔子六十岁。其后孔子往返陈蔡多次，曾“厄于陈蔡之间”。据《史记》记载：因楚昭王来聘孔子，陈、蔡大夫围孔子，致使绝粮七日。解围后孔子至楚，不久楚昭王死。卫出公欲用孔子。孔子答子路问曰，为政必以“正名”为先。返卫后，孔子虽受“养贤”之礼遇，但仍不见用。鲁哀公十一年（前484年）冉有归鲁，率军在郎战胜齐军。季康子派人以币迎孔子。孔子遂归鲁，时孔子年六十八。
孔子归鲁后，鲁人尊以“国老”，初鲁哀公与季康子常以政事相询，但终不被重用。孔子晚年致力于整理文献和继续从事教育。鲁哀公十六年（前479年）孔子卒，葬于鲁

Crossing the Sea
By Liang Limin(梁励敏 北京外国语大学)
(获得第三届全国英语演讲比赛冠军)
专家点评:引用文学大师的诗句作为开场白，与结束语首尾呼应，颇有感染力。东西方文化的融合表现得十分鲜明，意味深长，是篇优秀的演讲。
Good 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 this poem "We and They" :

All the people like us are We
and everyone else is They
We live over the sea
While They live over the way
We eat pork and beef with cow horn-handled knives
They who gobble their rice off a leaf
Are horrified out of their lives.

When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shocked--how could two people remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today's society, of course, is an entirely different picture. Those people who used to eat with gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.
Indeed, just take China as example; Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about rock-and-roll, whole families dining out at McDonald's 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 nation's mentality. Just look around.

How many college graduates are ready to compete aggressively for every job opportunity, whereas not long ago they were asked just to sit idle and wait for whatever was to be assigned to them by the government?

How many young people are now eager to seek for an independent life whereas only two decades ago they would rely totally on their parents to arrange for their future? Ask anyone who participates in today's speech contest. Who has not come with a will to fight and who has not come determined to achieve self-fulfillment in winning the game? And I'm quite certain that if Confucius had lived to see today's China, he would have been horrified to see young lovers kissing each other in public places in an unreserved expression of their passion.

It is therefore evident that we as descendants of an ancient Eastern civilization are already living under strong influence of the Western culture. But it is not only in China that we find the incorporation of the two cultures.
Take the United States as an example: During the 1980s, in face of the overwhelming competition from Japan, many American companies such as the Ford began to adopt a teamwork management from their rivals, the essence of which, lay at the very core of Eastern culture.
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 unrest 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 brighter future, we need to learn to live more harmoniously in a world community which is becoming smaller and smaller. My dear fellow students, our command of the English language render sit possible for us to gain an insight into Western culture while retaining our own cultural identity.
Therefore, it is our sacred responsibility to promote the cultural exchanges and hence the mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world.
It is my happiest dream that 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 They
But once you cross over the sea
You 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
其余的人是他们
我们生活在海这边
他们生活在路那边
我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉
吞吃粽叶包饭的他们
吓得要死。

第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊——过去两个民族何以如此疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景
:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。

的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着
迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。

然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙
而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。

不久以前，大学生还只是束手空坐，等待政府给他们分配工作;如今，又有多少大学生正在做充分准备，为争取任
何工作机会而激烈角逐?

20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来，今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加
演讲比赛的诸位，谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下心来赢得这场比赛以实现自我?如今年轻人毫无顾
忌地宣泄情感当众亲吻，我确信，倘若孔子在世，他必被吓坏。

很明显，我们这些东方古老文明的后裔们早已生活在西方文化的强烈影响之下，然而出现这种异质文化合流的
现象不止是在中国。

以美国为例，20世纪80年代，面对来自日本的强大竞争压力，许多美国公司如福特公司开始采用对手的集体合作
管理方式，而这种方式正是东方文化核心之精华。

再以中华针灸为例，这种传统的医疗方法以及这种疗法的依据——即人体阴阳失调导致疾病最终得到西方社会的
承认，而在过去，西方人还认为这是无稽之谈。

女士们，先生们，我们恰逢一个伟大的时代:全球经济一体化、信息革命使得世界各种文化联系比以往更加紧密;
我们恰逢一个特殊的年代:无论是东方国家还是西方国家都意识到自身急需调整传统价值。与此同时，我们正生活在发
展的关键时刻:种族冲突，地区动荡正越来越威胁着整个人类的和平与幸福。如何对待这一时代，拥抱更加灿烂的未来
，我们需要学会在越来越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。

亲爱的同学们，我们掌握英语，得以了解西方文化，与此同时，又不失本民族的文化特征。

因此，促进中国与世界的文化交流与相互理解是我们神圣的责任。

我有一个美好的梦想，我梦想中国的年轻一代不仅仅在喝可口可乐、看好莱坞影片中成长，而且还受益于我们的
父辈所从未梦想过的多元文化所带来的深远影响。

最后，再次以罗得雅德•吉卜林的诗作为我此次演讲的结尾:

像我们的人是我们
其余的人是他们
然而一旦你们穿洋越海
就不会再把我们
看做仅仅是他们。

谢谢。

这个是我在网上找到得，希望对你有帮助。

Confucius (Chinese: 孔夫子; pinyin: Kǒng Fūzǐ; Wade-Giles: K'ung-fu-tzu), lit. "Master Kong,"[1] (September 28, 551 BC – 479 BC) was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Vietnamese thought and life.

His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. These values gained prominence in China over other doctrines, such as Legalism (法家) or Taoism (道家) during the Han Dynasty[2][3][4] (206 BC – 220 AD). Confucius' thoughts have been developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism (儒家). It was introduced to Europe by the Jesuit Matteo Ricci, who was the first to Latinise the name as "Confucius."

His teachings may be found in the Analects of Confucius (论语), a collection of "brief aphoristic fragments", which was compiled many years after his death. Modern historians do not believe that any specific documents can be said to have been written by Confucius,[5][6] but for nearly 2,000 years he was thought to be the editor or author of all the Five Classics[7][8] such as the Classic of Rites (editor), and the Spring and Autumn Annals (春秋) (author).
