1、与爱情有关的英语演讲稿 与爱情有关的英语演讲稿1you may observe, that amongst all the great and worthy persons whereof the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent there is not one, that hath been transported to the mad degree of love: which shows that great spirits, and great business, do keep out this weak passion. you
2、 must except, nevertheless, marcus antonius, the half partner of the empire of rome, and appius claudius, the decemvir and lawgiver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate; but the latter was an austere and wise man: and therefore it seems though rarely that love can find ent
3、rance, not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept.it is a poor saying of epicurus, satis magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus; as if man, made for the contemplation of heaven, and all noble objects, should do nothing but kneel before a little idol, and
4、 make himself a subject, though not of the mouth as beasts are, yet of the eye; which was given him for higher purposes.it is a strange thing, to note the excess of this passion, and how it braves the nature, and value of things, by this; that the speaking in a perpetual hyperbole, is comely in noth
5、ing but in love. neither is it merely in the phrase; for whereas it hath been well said, that the arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence, is a mans self; certainly the lover is more. for there was never proud man thought so absurdly well of himself, as the lover doth of
6、 the person loved; and therefore it was well said, that it is impossible to love, and to be wise. neither doth this weakness appear to others only, and not to the party loved; but to the loved most of all, except the love be reciproque. for it is a true rule, that love is ever rewarded, either with
7、the reciproque, or with an inward and secret contempt.by how much the more, men ought to beware of this passion, which loseth not only other things, but itself! as for the other losses, the poets relation doth well figure them: that he that preferred helena, quitted the gifts of juno and pallas. for
8、 whosoever esteemeth too much of amorous affection, quitteth both riches and wisdom.this passion hath his floods, in very times of weakness; which are great prosperity, and great adversity; though this latter hath been less observed: both which times kindle love, and make it more fervent, and theref
9、ore show it to be the child of folly. they do best, who if they cannot but admit love, yet make it keep quarters; and sever it wholly from their serious affairs, and actions, of life; for if it check once with business, it troubleth mens fortunes, and maketh men, that they can no ways be true to the
10、ir own ends.与爱情有关的英语演讲稿2Ever since the dawning of the history of mankind, there have been myriads of diversifed inventions, discoveries, and even explorations of the mysteries of the universe. in fact, the human beings are so intelligent that we have solved almost all kinds of problems we have confr
11、onted with .However, nobody has ever made out what the word “love” really connotes, not even the most famous people such as great politicians, saints and philosophers can clarify the meaning of “love”, neither can they deal with the various affairs concerning love. love is like a huge boundless net
12、that shrouds us all in. we can neither break away from it nor escape from it. like it or not, we are always entangled in it. it is an invisible net without any form, that shrouds in different people from different angels; it is a merciless net that upsets us or even tortures us to death. it is also
13、a supreme net which almost no human can surpass. even if they are heroes, emperors, wise men or saints, they can do nothing but show their helplessness in its face. those who can breathe through the holes of the net should be regarded beyond commonness and vulgarity. love can bring us temporary comf
14、ort and happiness, but mostly they bring about annoyance and sufferings. maybe this is the reason why many people have seen through the illusions of the mortal world. however it is not so easy to break away from this boundless, ever-existing and indifferent net of love.Love is varied and changeable,
15、 but roughly it can be divided into three categories: family love, fraternal love and amatory love. not like monkey king who jumped out of the rocks, we were all born after mothers pregnancy of about nine months, hence we have countless relatives without any choice: parents, grand-parents, and grand
16、-parents-in-law, uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters, etc. and once looking at the genealogical tree, well see no end. family love is what everyone longs for, but the warmth and support from our beloved ones are what everyone yearns for the most. but how many of us are determined to contribute
17、to our beloved one? and how many dont expect repayment and relaxed. conscience even if they have the desire and preparation to contribute to their beloved. the distance between relatives is different and so are their expectations. but since its very difficult to know how much we should expect, a lot
18、 of worries and distresses emerge.Parents always expect their children to show their filial obedience, or at least pay them frequent visits after they have got married. if the children fail to do this, they feel hurt and upset, and theyll even complain about their children, because they just cant un
19、derstand why their children dont care about them after what they have done for the children for so many years to bring them up. nevertheless, ones experience determines his ideology. young children are naturally attached to their parents, but when they grow up, specially when they have made their ow
20、n friends, and got married, what they need most is independence and freedom, and parents sometimes might become their burden. once there is generation gap, it becomes more difficult to communicate and this keeps them away from their parents. objectively speaking, they need more independence in order
21、 to achieve success. in the present society, what the children want to have most is the economic support from their parents, not their moral support or guidance. they would complain if your economic support is not up to their expectations. the love from uncles and aunties would naturally dwindle aft
22、er they have had their own children. only the love from grand-parents and grand parents-in-law is pure and demands no repayment, and they are also too old to wait for any repayment. as for the distant relatives, their love depends on their needs, just as the old saying goes “the poor have no friends
23、 even if they live in downtown while the rich have distant relatives even if they live in deep mountains”. granny liu, a distant kinsfolk, in a dream of the red mansions , claims kinship with the wealthy jia family, thinking that she may benefit from it in some ways. liu might have run away without
24、any traces if the jia family had been a poor one. another saying goes “close neighbors are better than distant relatives.” the most difficult is to manage the relatives when doing business together, just as what the tv series program liu laogen discloses. it is all right to stay poor together, but a
25、s soon as the business grows prosperous, the group will become estranged and even dissolve because of the unfair distribution. family love is like a maze which we shouldnt go too far into it, otherwise, well surely get lost. love is a bilateral matter and unilateral love can only lead you to nowhere
26、 in spite of your good intentions. family love is, sometimes, like an arranged marriage, leaving no choices to you. due to the different experiences and tastes, staying together temporarily can be entertaining, while living together for a long time can only be boring due to the lack of common intere
27、st and understanding. how can we communicate with each other without understanding? parents have the duty to support the children who are not yet economically independent, and children have the responsibility to provide for the elderly parents who are lack of economic abilities to support themselves
28、. except these two kinds of duties which we must fulfill, other kinds of love become conventional formalities such as paying visit to the sick or the dead and giving presents to the newly-born etc.no love among relatives has become a normal phenomenon which neednt to be fussed about. whats worse is
29、when love is contaminated by money. sooner or later we will get hurt. the sooner we get out of this net of love, the more we can preserve beautiful memories.we are not living in vacum, and the society is formed of various kinds of people. as long as we want to live, study, or work, we have to contac
30、t, communicate and cooperate with others. those who enjoy common interests, mutual understanding, common undertakings and common benefits become friends.some friends are called fair-weather friends, because they are together just for entertaining themselves by eating, drinking, and gossiping. once t
31、heres nothing to eat and drink, their friendship is finished. some are spiritual friends who share common ambitions, pursuits and education. “they enjoy talking and laughing with the great talents and never make friends with the good-for-nothings”. the best examples would be yu boya and zhong ziqi o
32、f the ancient times who are famous not only for their lofty music but mainly for their lofty characters and mutual understanding and appreciation. they cared very little about material wealth, so their friendship is known as “gentlemens friendship as pure as water”. the third type of friendship belo
33、ng to those who show their utter devotion to each other. they are ready not only to share weal and woe but also to die for each other, like the three brothers liu, guan and zhang in the novel romance of the three kingdoms. . we all wish to have this kind of friendship, but its of great difficulty fo
34、r the ordinary people to be as devoted as they were.fraternal love or friendship is wide-ranged and flexible. generally speaking, everyone is our friend, just as chairman mao says “our friends are all over the world”. but transcend age, sex, nationality, state and economic conditions. to them the mo
35、st important is common benefit, common interest and understanding. friendship is formed during the course of studying, working and fighting. the battle companions who have survived many hazards usually enjoy long-lasting friendship.however, fraternal love is not stable. being away for too a long tim
36、e, losing all common benefits, friends will become estranged. once their interest has changed, they no longer understand each other, and even this would harm friendship. at all times and in all countries, many close friends and battle companions who once worked together and fought together became en
37、emies in the end. quiet a few of the emperors in ancient china even killed those who had helped them found their dynasties. the taiping heavenly kingdom would not have failed if it hadnt been for the contending and massacring among the those who first rose in rebellion at the beginning of the uprisi
38、ng. what else we need to pay attention to is that some friends, after being away from each other for too long a time, have lost so much of their original characters that when meeting again, you will feel that you are still the same as you were, while they are no longer themselves. they may have the
39、same feeling about you, so sometimes its better not to meet each other again. as the chinese proverb goes “friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stay in blossom for three months”. its not so easy to maintain real friendship which needs mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrif
40、ice. any kinds of harsh treatment will damage friendship.amatory love has been a mystery for ages. theres neither a criterion to judge nor a common rule to follow. nobody can tell the exact reasons why love emerges. it is not always because of beauty the ugly doorkeeper quasimodo in the hunchback of
41、 notre dame is loved by the beautiful gypsy girl esmeralda, nor kindness hitler also has his mistress, nor wisdom even the blockhead may sometimes marry a beautiful girl, nor strength some love starts from sympathy. true love is like getting an electric shock, shaking our soul. it is a sweet dream,
42、a kind of intoxication, indulgence, and endless passion.true love doesnt need a long time to grow up, to make clear the family tree of the other, neither does it needs the time to look ahead and behind again and again. love is not marriage, which usually starts from love, butdoesnt always depend on
43、love to maintain. long-lasting marriage can eventually turn into a kind of family love, a kind of companionship which preserves the companion but loses the passion. love is often an wink of the eye, or a smile that hints mutual understanding. in spite of the great distance between them, people may f
44、all in love incidentally. hence the saying “a distant marriage is tied up with a mysterious thread”. love needs passion, and it can stand bumps and stumbles, ups and downs, complaints and blames. when it turns into a pool of water, especially dead water, without any billows or waves, its time for it
45、 to die.delicacies are tasty, but eating everyday can still make one lose appetite. happiness is what everyone longs for, but too much happiness can spoil people who may not care about the happiness they already have. its universal to live in happiness without knowing it. the same is true with love.
46、 very few people can love the same person passionately all their lives. all love stories come to an end no matter how beautiful they are, which also demonstrate the changeability of love. what one has been chasing wildly may turn into something one wants to get rid of desperately in the end. besides
47、, love is usually blind, especially those who fall in love at the first sight. at the very beginning, both try to demonstrate their beautiful side and cover up their weakness. fooled by the mysterious color of love, one often mistakes the weaknesses as merits. however, as time passes by, frequent co
48、ntacts make one bored, and even merits become defects, and then the end of love is coming. whats more, there are the capricious men and women who never take love seriously, leaving the devoted ones suffering alone. the saying that the devoted is always abandoned by the heartless has almost become th
49、e truth of love affairs. what we cant neglect is that love may turn into hatred, and lovers may also become enemies. the best proof is the numerous divorces.even though true love is hard to find nowadays, we still can see some true and infatuated boys and girls who readily give up their families, their parents, their studies, their careers and even their lives for love. they love so passionately, crazily and wildly that they hate anyone who is against their love, and may even harm or kill him if he insist
