MothersLove中英文演讲稿对照
my dear friends：
do you know what is the most precious and everlasting thing in the world?
money? you may lose everything you have if you do not use money carefully enough. youth? in one?'s long life youth is like a flash in the pan and no one in the world has the secret to keep his youth forever. beautiful look? many people pray that they can get hold of beauty, but it disappears far more quickly than they can imagine. and when they are in real trouble beauty itself feels helpless. a good job? as you grow older and your brain and hands cannot work as fast as before, it will become other people?'s wealth.
then what is the most precious and ev－erlasting thing in the world?
when you are far away from your fam－ily and feel especially lonely, who will you think of? when you stand on the crossroad in your life and do not know which way to choose, who will you think of? when you encounter greater difficulties than ever and need other?'s encouragement, who will you think of? when you decide to make the greatest decision in your favorite course, who will you think of? who gave birth to you? who brought you up? who shed cheer－ful tears when seeing you make achieve－ments? whose wholehearted blessing will be always with you no matter how far you will go?
yes, it's mother that you will always think of and it's mother's love that will be always together with you.
i once heard a moving story about a mother. two children were drawn into the flood and the situation was very dangerous. their mother jumped into the water without the least hesitation. but you know the moth－er could not swim at all. jumping into the water means she might lose her life. but at that time she had no time to think about herself. she just wanted to try all means to save her children.
maybe her courage moved the god. the miracle happened. she finally succeeded in saving her children one by one. and she, of course, felt extremely ex－hausted.
my friends, mother's love is the greatest love. mother's love is the safest love. no matter you are happy or sorrowful, rich or poor, mother's love will always stay with you.
thank you all!
母 爱

亲爱的朋友：
你知道什么是世界上最珍贵、最永恒的事物吗？金钱？不！不是！因为即使你腰缠万贯，但如果挥霍无度的话，你也会有不名一文的时候。青春？也不是！在人漫长的一生中，青春如昙花一现，稍纵即逝，世界上谁也没有永葆青春的秘诀。也许你会说美貌，我觉得也不是。尽管很多人都希望美丽常在，可是往往不如人意，况且我们一旦陷入困境时，即使拥有美貌，那也无能为力。那么，一个好的工作应该是了吧？但是，朋友，你应意识到，随着年龄的逐渐增大，我们一天天在衰老，思维呢，不如以前敏捷；手脚呢，也不如人家灵活。这时，你不能胜任那个工作了，即使它再好，也不得不拱手相让。12
