周雪怡：第五届CCTV“希望之星”大学组冠军演讲稿

　　I believe in our future

　　Honorable Judges, fellow students:

　　Good afternoon!

　　Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. Thecollege students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receiveexceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face thechallenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better thelives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building thefuture of our country?

　　The cynics say the college students are the pampered lostgeneration, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics arewrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to liveindependently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargaintogether, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.

　　The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; andwe neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong.We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and weseek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood typetested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from bloodcancer.

　　As college students, we are adolescents at the criticalturning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism orfaith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of ourcountry. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are stillinexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have thecourage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. Weare preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use theeducation we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in ourfuture.

　　我对未来充满信心

　　尊敬的评委，各位同学：

　　下午好!

　　最近，社会上有一场很激烈的争论。大学生是一种稀有特权的享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我们能面对挑战而无所畏惧吗?我们能够改善他人的生活吗?我们能够承担建设祖国未来的重任吗?

　　怀疑论者说大学生是被宠坏的一代，一丁点挫折都受不了。但是他们错了，我所看到的大学生正在努力的学习独立生活。我们互相帮助打扫卫生，一起上街砍价购物，一起参加兼职工作来赚零花钱。

　　怀疑论者说我们除了成绩什么都不关心，从而忽略了性格的培养。但是，他们又错了。我们彼此关心，我们向往自由，我们珍惜公正，我们追求真理。上个星期，很多我的同学去验血，为了给患血癌的孩子贡献自己的力量。

　　作为大学生，我们是处在人生分水岭的青年。我们都面临一个重要的选择：怀疑人生还是相信自己，每一种都会给我们 的人生带来重大的影响，甚至影响我们祖国的未来。我相信我们的同学们，虽然我们依然缺乏经验，甚至有些志气，但是我相信我们有勇气和自信来面对生活的挑战并承担我们的责任。我们正努力准备接受新的任务，用我们所学习的知识将世界变得更美好。我对我们的未来充满信心。
