一篇英文演讲稿 求翻译
Bilingual is a kind of lifestyle
According to the topic “Bilingual is a kind of lifestyle”, we may concentrate on the importance of different languages in our daily life.
Yes, every day I attend classes which are taught in either Japanese or English; In leisure time, I can watch Japanese cartoons and American movies to know more about their cultures and enjoy the pure languages in other nations. To master two or more than two kinds of languages has become a fashionable way of living.
Perhaps you will ask why. Why is bilingual fashionable? We can read newspapers in Chinese, we can watch movies and cartoons which have been translated into Chinese, and we can even have an interpreter around us when we have to chat with a foreigner. Have you ever thought about that there are so many differences between the original material and a translation. And you can hardly feel the tone---iconic or humorous ---in a translated version. Have you ever sensed the indifference of a foreign reporter which you can hardly recognize in a Chinese version? Have you ever secretly admired those who can talk freely with foreign people and make friends all over the world? If your answer is yes, it means that you have already admitted bilingual is another kind of lifestyle.
Just imagine this. When you are walking down the street and receive a call from one of your foreign friends, you talk to him over phone in Japanese. When your mother is confused about the instructions of the new electronic equipment written in Japanese, you translate it for her and she will be proud of you. It sounds very cool, isn’t it?
Bilingual has become a new fashion in the 21st century. People all over the world are learning foreign languages; of course, among them there is a large amount of foreigners are learning Chinese. You can just adapt yourself to this new lifestyle and enjoy life to the fullest!
We enjoy the process of learning a second language and we will definitely enjoy more of the process, if we are not only learning but also putting the language into our soul.
根据此主题，我们可以专注于不同语言在日常生活中的重要性。
我每天都上用日文或英文教的课；空闲时，我可以看日本或美国的动画来知道多一点他们的文化并
享受其他国家纯朴的语言。精通两个以上的语言已成为时尚的生活方式。
也许你会问为什么。为什么双语如此时尚？我们可以读中文报纸，看翻译成中文的电影和动画，甚至在必须和外国人聊天时身旁有个翻译。不过你想过原文和译文有多少差异吗？而且你在翻译中几乎找不到那个语气的标志性和幽默感。你有感受到中文版本里没有的国外记者的漠不关心吗？你有偷偷欣赏过一个能和外国人轻松对答，和全世界的人都能为友的人吗？如果是，表示你已经承认双语是另一种生活方式。
想象一下，你走在街上时一个外籍友人打给你，你用日文和他讲话。你妈看不懂新产品的日文指示，你替他翻译，他感到骄傲。听起来还蛮酷吧？
双语是21世纪的新时尚。全世界人都在学外语；当然，在其中有很多外国人在学中文。你可以让自己适应这新生活方式并完全享受人生。
我们享受学第二语言的过程，如果我们不止学习，还把语言放在我们灵魂里，一定会更享受过程。
