Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting
feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we
are facing today is more than a mere 1 competition or
contest. It is an assembly of some of China's most talented
and motivated people, representatives of a younger
generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a
new century. I'm grateful that I've been given this
opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a
spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back
at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and
for this nation as well. Though it is only within my power to
tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment
of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root of a spirit
which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by
the past 15 years. In my elementary years, there was a little
girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could
never do satisfactorily in her lessons. The teacher asked me

１

to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from
me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to
evade 2 her so as to get more time to enjoy myself. One
day before the final exam, she came up to me and said,

better this time.
Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off
quickly. Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.
And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester,
word came of her death of blood cancer. No one ever knew
about the little task I failed to fulfill 3 , but I couldn't forgive
myself. I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be
asking,
was so easy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better
the trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this
world in such pain and regret?
years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting
point of my life, for I began to understand the word

and devotedly 5 , for the implications of that sacred word
has dawned on me: the mutual 6 need and trust of people,
the co-operation and inter- reliance which are the very
foundation of human society. Later in my life, I continued
to experience many failures. But never again did I feel that
regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes

２

my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything
in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can. As I
grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many
other similar ones, I began to perceive the changes taking
place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its
formative years like myself. New buildings, new commodities
and new fashions appear every day. New ideas, new
information, new technologies. People can talk with each
other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds.
Society is becoming more competitive. Words like
individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and
more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.
Such is the era in which this generation ,grows and
matures. Such is the era in which this generation will take
over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. Yet in the
meantime, many problems still exist. We learn that crimes
take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking
on and not assisting. We hear that there are still about 1
million children in this country who can't even afford to go to
elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being
squandered 7 away on dinner parties and luxury cars. We
buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name
of medicines, that aggravate 8 , rather than alleviate 9 our
diseases since money, many people believe, is the most
important thing in the world that must be made, even at the

３

expense of morality and responsibility. Such an era,
therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener
sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness
to think critically and act creatively. Such an era,
furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear
perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive
will to take action and solve the problems. History has long
been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now
calling us forward to give testimony 10 to our patriotism 11
and heroism 12 towards this nation and all
humanity. Standing 13 here now, I think of the past 15
years of my life as an ordinary student. Probably I'll be an
ordinary man for the rest of my life. But this doesn't
discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of
responsibility and devoted 4 efforts to always strive, for the
best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I
will be living. Standing here now, I think of the past 15
years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that
inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not
attain 14 fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be
remembered by posterity 15 . But that doesn't discourage us
any, because we know that the world watches, the world
listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be
heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce
competition. I can't ever forget that little girl in my class

４

who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to
enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world
tomorrow. It is the sacred responsibility of this generation
to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote
our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic
cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for
every one of us. We are not going to evade that
responsibility. We are going to let people down. And people,
far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to their
backbones 16 and tears to their eyes when our stories are
told and retold, So let us go forth 17 , my fellow members of
this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in
victory and glory.

站在台上面
对
大家，我心情十分激
动
。好像是在参加一次
历
史性
的
长
征。我
们
今天面< br>对
的
远
不只一
场竞赛
或角逐。
这
是才
华
出众，
生气勃勃的中国青年的一次聚会。我
们
是青年一代的代表。
为
迎接
新世
纪
的到来，我
们
正在从各方面作好准
备
。

在
这
一
历

时
刻 ，
能有机会代表同

人在此
认
真地回
顾
于国于己都 至关重要的
过

15
年，我感激万分。

尽管只能
谈谈
个人
经历
，而且只涉及其中一
个小小的片段，但我相信，它仍然折射出
对
我和在
过
去
15
年
间
一
同成< br>长
起来的青年人都不可缺少的一种思想基
础
。

我上 小学
时
，
班上有位小姑娘，学
习
非常刻苦而成
绩
却 不尽人意。

老
师
要我帮助
她。看得出，她也寄厚望于我。但我那< br>时还
是个小男孩，坐不住，

５

不懂事。我老是
ME
避她。以便有更多
时间
自己玩。

期末考
试
前
一天，她来求我
说“请
你
给
我
讲
解一下行
吗
?
这
次我很想考得好一
点。
”
我开始
给
她
讲
解，不一会儿便草草收
场
，假装没 有察
觉
她迷
茫的眼神，一溜烟儿地跑开了。不出所料，
这
次她又考< br>砸
了。两个
月后，新学期依始，
传
来她死于血癌的消息。我没有完成那
项
小小
的任
务
，无人知
晓
。但我却不能原
谅
自己。她的眼睛令我
难
以忘
怀
，
仿佛在
责问我，
“
你
为
什么不愿多帮助我呢
?
这对
于你来
说
，并不
费
事。你
为
什么不能理解我
对
你 的信
赖
，而
让
我
带
着痛苦和
遗
憾离开这
个世界
?”

我当
时
才八九
岁
。但从某种意
义
上
讲
，
这
件事成了
我生活的新起 点。因
为
我开始体会到
“责
任
”
二字的意
义
，并尽心
尽力地学着完成自己的
义务
。我也逐
渐领
会了
这
个神圣字眼的深刻
内含
:
人与人之
间
的彼此需要和信任、合 作和依
赖
正是人
类
社会存在
的基
础
。

之后，我在生活中又
经
受
过
多次失
败
，但那小姑娘 之死
所引起的懊悔，心里却不曾再
现
。想到自己做每一件事都能尽
职
尽
责
，一种
满
足之感便油然而生。


此事及
类
似的多起事件改
变
了我，
完善了我。当我
长
大成 人，我开始
领
悟周
围发
生的一切
变

义
上
说
，社会跟我一

出不
穷
。即便万里相隔 ，人
们
在
转
瞬之
间
即可相互交
谈
。社会< br>竞
争
越演越烈。

人

越来越
强调
个性和
创
造性。越来越多的人因工作
努力而受到
奖赏
。这
就是当今的
时
代，一代新人由成
长迈

时代。
这
是我
们这
一代人接替父
辈
治国安邦的
时
代。然而，我
们
也
面
临
很多
间题
。

据悉，坏人在光天化日之下作
恶
，周
围
的群众居
然袖手旁
观
，无
动
于衷。我
还
听
说
，目 前我国尚有
100
万儿童
连
小
学也上不起，而巨
额资
金却拿去
举办
奢侈的宴会和
购
置豪

的
轿车。

我

常常

不能除病去痛，反而会使病情加重。在某些人看来，世上金
钱
最宝
贵
，只要 能
赚钱
，不惜
牺
牲道德和
责
任。

因而，
这
个
时

赋
予我

的是更
强

，使我

更善于批判性地思 考和
