平凡的幸福英语演讲稿及中文翻译

　　ordinary happpiness

　　good morning everyone:

　　as we all know, happiness is something that every person is chasing. i always try my best to find out what is the true meaning of happiness. and i think i got it last week.

　　it was an ordinary saturday morning. i felt a little tired because of the preparation for the mid-term exams. it was not long before my mother came in with a large bunch of white roses picked from the seller’s gardon. during the next few minutes, we were both busy putting them into a big cley case. looking at the flowers, i found the dark sitting room became bright, so did my mood, just like a person gets some fresh air when he feels dizzy. all the feeling of boredom flew away.

　　then i remember a poem named “life could be worse”, which said:” for the weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means i have been capable of working hard. for my alarm that goes of in the early hours, because it means i am alive. and finally, for too much e-mail, because it means i have friends who are thinking of me. “i learnt that happiness is not the diamond in a necklace, nor a dream far away, it’s just your attitude towards life.

　　if you realize it, a simple cup of cola with ice can bring you a cool summer, for happiness is so ordinary that it’s right in the palm of your hand.

　　thank you!

　　平凡的幸福

　　各位早上好：

　　我们都知道，幸福是每个人都在追寻的东西。我也常常努力寻找幸福的真正含义。然而在上个星期，我想我已经找到了。

　　这只是一个平凡的星期六早晨，我正在为准备下周的期中考试而“焦头烂额”。没过多久，妈妈便捧了一大束白玫瑰进来，这些都是花匠从花园里刚刚摘下的新鲜玫瑰。于是我们忙碌几分钟，把它们插入一个大瓷花瓶中。看着这些花，我觉得原本阴沉的客厅变得明亮了许多，我的心情也豁然开朗，像是一个烦闷的人呼吸到了新鲜空气。所有乏味的`感觉都抛在九霄云外。

　　于是，我想起了一首名为“让生活换一种风景”的诗，上面写道：“一天下来腰酸背疼——因为我有能力勤奋工作。闹钟清晨就响——那意味着我还活着。还有就是电子邮件爆满了——因为有这么多朋友在惦记着我呢。”我察觉到，幸福并不是项链上的钻石，也不是遥不可及的梦，它不过是你对生命的态度。

　　如果你能意识到这点，那么一杯加冰的可乐都可以带给你一个夏天的清凉，因为幸福如此平凡，它就在你的掌心里。
