Lonely

2009年9月25日21点51分。我的比赛结束在这一刻了。

外国语学院的老师给我的即兴演讲题目是"a lesson for life"，准备时间是10分钟。我在这10分钟里实在不知道应该说些什么。10分钟，也无法现编一个故事。我断断续续的想起暑假里我一个人走在北京街头的情景。我记得那些树，光，还有影。我记得安静的地坛，安定门附近的杀马特们，还有798的火车头。

---不要害怕走错路。只有不停地走错，你才会真正知道，正确的路，在哪里。

我上台之后，说了一些支离破碎的句子。不到一分钟。然后我说了两次"I'm sorry."台下的评委说，是不是没准备好，再去准备一下吧。我说，不必了，我真没法讲下去了。

然后我就离开了人文馆401室。我不知道以后是不是还会有机会进入这个外院的教室，但是这一定会是第一个让我记忆深刻的燕大教室。

culture smart or science intelligent，我和高吉，光兴一起准备了两个晚上。我们对这篇稿子花了很大的心思。我自己认为我玩准备得比较充分。所以在命题演讲环节，我过关斩将，留到了最后。

                                   Culture Smart or Science Intelligent?

Ladies and Gentlemen, good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here to share my veiwpoints about ‘culture smart or science intelligent’ with you.

At the frist sight of ‘culture smart’,i was thinking about another two expressions: ‘school smart’and ‘street smart’.School smart,we can see its meaning from the word.It means someone has an academic achivement.And street smart means someone has lots of common sence of communicating.So when it comes to culture smart,my understanding is knowlege of culture and to use them in a wise way.

When we go to a foreign country,the most probably problem we meet would be the different culture.As we all known,each nation has its own culture.People in different areas have different ways to deal with problems.Culture itself,we can look it as experiences or group habits.It comes into being during the long river of history.Of course,they are preious.

Science intelligent,in my mind,is to use of scientific knowlege in a wise way.The spirit of science,is to explore unknow objects in exact measures.For example,before a new medicine put into production, scientist will test them on small animals,then on humen beings, these necessary steps can make sure that the medicine is safe to us.

With the development of society,there are so many things to be explored.Such as the sun,then moon,even the earth we live on .In culture history,human beings ever insist that there is a beautiful lady on the moon with her little rabbit.Of course this is a fairy tale.After the first spaceship which was sent into space to collect informations on the moon,people got the reasult that there were probably no lives on the moon.Yes,maybe many people would feel very disappointing about it,but in my opinions,it is the beautiful fairy tale that make people want to know what the moon turly is.

The relationship between culture smart and science intelligent is just like the two sides of a coin.Each side has its own positive functions when we deal with our works,but they can not be seperated.In modern society,culture is a must to all residents.Culture helps us to live in a harmony environment,and science can be useful tools to our production needs. They both play important roles in our life.

Specailly,i want to point out that culture comes first in most of the time.That means,if science wants to be improved,culture will give it a clear derection.The Renaissance is a good example.After those outstanding literay and artistic works appeared, astronomy and mathematics access to a rapid development.So,ladies and gentlemen,either culture smart or science intelligent is so useful to our life that we can not leave any of them behind.

Thanks for your listening!
