中国人

　　Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

　　I am Chinese. I am proud of being a Chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. I've learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. I've learned about the Great Wall and the Yangtze River. I've learned about Zhang Heng(张衡)and I've learned about Zheng He(郑和).Who says the Yellow River Civilization has vanished(消失)?I know that my ancestors have made miracles(奇迹)on this fertile land and we're still making miracles. Who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our GNP ranks No. 7 in the world? We have experienced the plunders (掠夺) by other nations, and we have experienced the war. Yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----China, unyielding and unconquerable!

　　I once came across an American tourist. She said, “China has a history of five thousand years, but the US only has a history of 200 years. Five thousand years ago, China took the lead in the world, and now it is the US that is leading.My heart was deeply touched by these words. It is true that we're still a developing nation, but it doesn't mean that we can despise (鄙视) ourselves. We have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of. We have reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition (雄心) is even bigger, our challenges (挑战) are great, but our will is evengreater.

　　I am Chinese. I have inherited (继承) black hair and blackeyes. I have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. I have also taken over responsibility. I am sure, that wherever I go, whatever I do, I shall never forget that I am Chinese!

　　Thank you.

　　女士们先生们，男孩和女孩，

　　我是中国人。我是五千年的文明背后的一个中国人而自豪。我已经了解了我们祖先的四大发明。我已经了解了长城和长江。我已经了解了张恒(张衡)和我所学到的关于郑和(郑和)。他说，黄河文明已经消失(消失)?我知道我的祖先已奇迹(奇迹)在这片肥沃的土地和我们仍然创造奇迹。谁能忽视的事实是，我们已经建立了自己作为一个世界大国，我们已经制定了自己的核武器，我们成功地把我们的卫星送入太空，我们的国民生产总值排名世界7?我们有经验丰富的掠夺(掠夺)的其他国家，我们经历了战争。然而，基于这样的废墟，还有站在我们的国家----中国，不屈不挠，不可征服的!

　　我曾经遇到一位美国游客。她说，“中国已经有五千年的历史，而美国只有200年的历史。五千年前，中国率先在世界上，现在是美国，是领先的。我的心被深深感动的话。这是真的，我们仍然是一个发展中国家，但这并不意味着我们可以藐视(鄙视)自己。我们有如此悠久的历史，我们有如此丰富的资源，我们有这样的智慧和勤奋的人民，我们有足够的自豪。我们有理由自豪地说：我们一定要在未来再次领先于世界，因为我们的问题是大的，但我们的野心(雄心)更大，我们的挑战(挑战)是伟大的，但我们的意志更加强大。

　　我是中国人。我继承了(继承)黑发黑眼。我继承了祖先的美德。我也接管的责任。我相信，无论我走到哪里，无论我做什么，我将永远不会忘记，我是中国人!

　　谢谢!
