Sportsmanship
体育精神
体育精神,英语口语,58秒
Sportsmanship means the right spirit
for people who are taking part in any sport or playing any game.
Everybody knows that a real sportsman would never dream of cheating in a game.
He always plays fair and follows the rules of the game.
He takes the game seriously. He is keen to win,
plays with all his energy to beat his opponent,
and expects his opponents to be as serious as he is.
He will play a losing game with dignity.
An unsportsmanlike player will often lose his temper when he is losing,
like a spoilt child.
The true sportsman keeps in good humor even when he is defeated.
The final test of a real sportsman is whether he can take defeat well.
If he is defeated and congratulates the winner,
he has indeed the true sporting spirit
运动员精神是
相对于那些参加各种级别的运动会，并尽力参加每一场比赛的用动员而言的。
所有人都知道真正的运动员从不奢望在赛场上靠作弊取胜。
他总是行为正直，遵守比赛规则，
并且认真地进行比赛，他渴望取胜，
全身心地投入以击败对手。
同时，他又期待对手像他一样严肃地对待比赛。
即使他对比赛没有信心但他还是带着尊严参赛
一个不称职的运动员在比赛失败时会大发脾气，
像宠坏的孩子似的。
而真正的运动员即使被击败了，还照样保持幽默的态度。
检验一个运动员的真正标准是他对待失败的态度。
假如他被击败时，仍真诚地向获胜者表示祝贺，
那他就完全具备了成为一个真正的运动员的品质了。

BluePlanet
蓝色星球
蓝色星球,英语口语,1分钟
We all have a common home.
She provides us with enough food, enough water and enough living room.
We get everything from nature to live better,
but we don't do anything to protect her.
Now the air is polluted,the earth is poisoned,
water is unsafe to drink and rubbish is burying the civili- zation that man owns
Our environment is being polluted
faster than nature and man's efforts can prevent.
Time is bringing us more people,and more people will bring us more industry.
So many trees will be cut down,and more large cities will be set up.
Lots of waste material,in turn,is produced and harms the environment.
So some experts declare that the balance of nature is being upset,
so that the very survival of man is in danger.
What can solve this growing problem?
The answer is that we must control population growth,
forbid people to cut down trees and pour waste water into rivers and so on.
If we do this,the environment will become clean,
and our lives will be full of happiness
我们拥有一个共同的家
她向我们提供足够的粮食，足够的水和足够的空间。
为了生活得更好，我们向自然界索取，
但我们却从不保护她
现在空气被污染了，土地盐碱化了，
人们不能安全饮水，垃圾埋葬了现代文明。
我们的环境正在被污染
污染速度远远比自然界和人类现在尽力制止污染的速度快。
随着时间的推移，人口的增加，人们会发展更多的工业。
于是大片森林被砍伐，更多的大型城市开始建立。
这一切导致的结果是:产生大量的垃圾。环境也被破坏了。
于是专家们宣称自然界正在失去平衡。
人们的生存环境正处在危险中。
如何来解决这个正在扩大化的问题呢?
答案是我们必须控制人口增长的速度,
禁止滥伐和向河里排污
如果我们能够做到这些环境将会得到净化,
我们的生活间充满幸福。

UnusualEchoes
不同寻常的回音
不同寻常的回音,英语口语,1分钟
Once Mark Twain and two friends were sitting in a restaurant
One friend has just returned from a trip to Vermont.
The friend said that the air in the mountains of Vermont was very clear.
In many places
the echo of a voice came back five times stronger than the original voice.
The second friend said that was nothing.
In Colorado,where he lived,in many places
the echo of a voice spoken in the morning came back in the afternoon.
Mark Twain laughed, Then he said,
Listen!The echoes which you have told me about are very unusual.
But in a small church in Missouri, where I was born,
there is an echo more unusual than those.
What is so strange about the echo there?asked one of them.
Well,I will tell you,said Mark Twain
The echo in that church is so unusual that if one asks in a loud voice:
Good Morning!How are you?The echo repeats very clearly after a moment:
Very well,thank you. And how are you?
有一次，马克.土温和两个朋友在饭馆里坐着。
一个朋友刚从佛蒙特旅行回来。
这位朋友说佛蒙特的大山里空气非常清新。
在许多地方，
一个声音的回音要比原来的声音强五倍。
第二个朋友说那没有什么。
在他居住的科罗拉多的许多地方，
一个早上说话的声音要到下午才能返回。
马克.土温大笑起来，然后他说:
你们说的那些回音非常不同寻常。
但是在我出生的密苏里的一个小教堂里，
有一个回音比你们说的那些更不同寻常。
那里的那个回音有什么不同寻常的?一个人问。
好吧，我来告诉你们，马克.土温说。
那个教堂里的回音真的非常不同寻常，如果一个人大声问:
早上好!你好吗?过一会儿，回音会清楚地回答:
非常好，谢谢。你好吗?

噢，无论如何，今天在这儿见到你们这么多人真是太高兴了。

WealthandHealth
财富与健康
财富与健康,英语口语,56秒
Some think that wealth means everything.
In their eyes,they can accomplish anything with enough money.
They will take big risks to make money
only with the result that they get neither wealth nor health.
Actually,health is more important than wealth.
Health is the foundation of one's success.
If you become sick,
it is nearly impossible for you to pursue your career successfully.
Also,a person suffering from illness can never enjoy his wealth.
Keep healthy first if you want to become wealthy.
Maybe wealth can improve health.
However,health is more valuable because it is the source of energy.
Therefore,you should keep healthy by exercising every day
following proper diet,
forming good living habits and trying to avoid and minor diseases.
有些人认为财富就是一切。
在他们眼中，只要有足够多的钱，什么事都能得到解决。
他们中的一些人不惜冒险求财，
结果既没有得到财富，又毁了健康。
事实上，健康比财富重要得多。
健康是成功的基础。
如果你病了，
你要追求事业上的成功是不可能的。
另一方面，一个受疾病折磨的人从来就不能好好享用他的财富。
如果你好变得富有，那么就先保持健康吧。
或许财富能改善健康，
但是，健康更有价值，因为它是精力的源泉。
所以为了保持健康，你应该每天进行锻炼，
适当的节食，
养成良好的生活习惯，努力避免任何哪怕很轻微的疾病。
