2020 CCTMC春季演讲比赛

时光真的是弹指一挥间转瞬即逝，从2009年升入大学开始算起，已经过去整整十年。当年18岁的我现在已经28岁，这十年是改变我最多的十年。从从未出过县城的我，到现在跑遍十几个国家的我；从只会在学校里学习的我，到也会独自一人旅游、游泳、瑜伽、攀岩、骑行、滑雪不断尝试新鲜事物的我，从只会听从老师“正解”的我，到会独自思考、质疑对错的我，这十年给了我太多太多的成长，感谢自己一路向前、向上，从未放弃过追求更美好的自己。

演讲依稀记得还是大一、大二时候的我锻炼自己的方式、屡次尝试、屡次失败，对于演讲我的热衷度不是很高，只是想锻炼自己公众演讲能力而已，或许好胜吧。从2010年以后再也没参加过演讲比赛了。2019年7月经男朋友推荐，终于又来到了头马俱乐部，锻炼下演讲能力，也结识了一群热爱生活的小伙伴。

这次比赛也参与了，到了台上看到这么多人（其实也没有很多人啦，也就20个），肚子里的小兔子砰砰的跳个不停，那不是十分熟悉的稿子，瞬间错乱了，好在有过前两次演讲的经历，大脑终于可以思考了，慢慢的把忘掉的词儿补回来。尽管不是很完美，但重在参与嘛，以后继续加油！

本次演讲稿如下：

Rescuing Yourself

Recently a friend messaged me,

“Hey, zhuzhu, what are you doing on Sunday?”

“I am hanging out with my boyfriend.”

“I wish I had a boyfriend, I have been doing nothing but watching videos. I am so bored. I wish someone could take me away from this boredom. Could you ask your boyfriend to introduce someone to me?”

What would you do when you feel bored? Will you wait for someone else to make your life interesting?

I came to Beijing in 2014, without a single friend in this metropolis. Sometimes I would wake up from a nap, feeling down, alone and bored for no good reason. For half a year, I lived an extremely dull life, I study, eat, and sleep. The next day I would wake up, study, eat and sleep again, and the next day, the same. Life was like hotpot without salt, spice, meat, sauce or anything that brings up flavour. What does it taste like? Boredom.

I waited and hoped that someone could put some salt or sauce into my life to make it exciting, adventurous and colorful. I could almost imagine what an interesting life I would have if some cool person makes me his/her friend and takes me to try new things. So I waited hard and for a long time. Final ly, a year later, guess what? I was still studying, eating and sleeping like I was a year ago. No Mr. right or cool person rescuing me from this castle of boredom. I realized that I repelled those cool people away from my life with my boredom and that I won’t get out this castle unless I take a step toward the door.

So instead of keeping waiting, I decided to do something, to try something new, to get myself out of the castle. I chose ballet dancing, but no one around me was doing it, I felt alone, scared and wanted to fall back to my own castle. Luckily, my willingness to change overcame my fear, so I went to it anyway. Once there, I realized that I was not alone. There were more than 20 people, coming from all parts of the city, doing the same thing as me. Afterwards I kept going there regularly, soon enough, one classmate joined me. Three months later, two more friends and a professor joined us. I felt my life was getting a little interesting. Meanwhile, I am adding flavor into other’s life.

The truth is, interesting people are more likely to be attracted to each other. A colorful life will not be handed to you by someone else, if you want it, you have to step out of your room, try something new and fight for it, instead of waiting for someone to rescue you. Not even your partners.

When I graduated from college, I was alone again, with my friends either going back to their hometown or living too far away from me. I started to depend on my boyfriend to make life interesting for me. A lot of the times he failed to do so, which made me feel disappointed and resentful, as a result of that, a series of fights followed. One day after a fight, my boyfriend said,

“You know it’s not wise to depend entirely and to put so much pressure on another person for your own happiness.”

This struck me. I hate to admitted it, but he was right. I need to change and rescue myself again. So I went to yoga classes, rock-climbing and Toastmasters. Do I feel bored now? Not any more.

This is the beginning of a new year, a time to change, to be your own rescuer, if you want an interesting life, try something new; if you want a healthy body, start exercising and eating healthy; if you want a better job, start planning it. Don’t wait for your friend, or a potential Mr. Right, or your doctor to rescue you.

附上演讲图片，嘻嘻嘻。

尽管这周工作很忙，但还是接了中文演讲contest chair的工作， 虽然没有照亮全屋，也算是让屋子没有漆黑一片。

以下是串场词：

比赛主席（Contest Chair）

将选手出场顺序、名字、题目都写到黑板上。

1.开场与介绍：

（1）欢迎大家回来，我还是第一次在咱们俱乐部这么光明正大、坦坦荡荡、自豪的说中文。大家晚上好，我是zhuzhu,今晚中文演讲比赛的主持。不知道大家有没有听过这么一个说法，说，“跨国婚姻很容易失败”，为啥呢？（与观众互动？）对，语言不一样，那为啥语言不一样就容易婚姻失败呢？我们不都也说英文吗？产生不了共鸣。其实文字除了我们听到的表面意思外，还有联想意义，它可以因人而异，因时而异，并因种族、民族、阶级、信仰、政治观点、个人经历等种种因素而不同。比如对大部分人来说，说起家，我们想到的是温暖、孝敬父母，正如我们所说的“金窝银窝，不如自己的狗窝。”但对于感情破裂的夫妻、遭受家暴的人来说，家可能就意味着恐惧、冰冷。对于外语学习者来说，我们认识的语言，并不一定是我们感受到、体会到的语言，这就造成了一个母语人士说出的话，我们并不一定100%的产生共鸣。当然，能够让两个人走到一起的原因有很多，这并不是说婚姻一定因此就破裂。

言归正传，中文作为我们的母语，想必大家能够产生更多的共鸣。今晚就让我们见证下几位演讲者将赋予文字怎样的力量，能不能打动在座各位的心。

演讲开始之前提醒大家，请将手机设置为震动或静音模式，除摄影师外不要拍照，不要在演讲进行期间走动。
