中學(xué)英語演講:Feet, the Carriers of Life

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

I would like to tell you about an unusual assignment. I was surprised and amused when our teacher told us our homework was to wash our feet carefully .

Yeah, washing the feet is such a common daily activity that I’ve never paid much attention to it. My feet had been cooperating and helping each other, nearly always managing to get washed, while I was enjoying my readings. But that night, while I gently touched my feet in the hot water, I realized how nice and cozy bathing my feet could be.

Deep in my mind, the hands always seemed superior to the feet. People use all sorts of things from soap to moisture cream to protect their hands. The feet become, kind of, neglected, since the feet spend all day long with the ground and dirt, and quite inevitably, get really smelly.

As I slowly soaped and rinsed my feet, I was beginning to understand why my teacher launched such a mission. She wanted us to realize that the feet were more helpful than we had ever imagined.

Surely, the hands are important. However it’s the feet that carry your whole body weight, and everything about your life. 文章來自yingyu6.com

The feet carry you, as well as your hopes and dreams, and walk steadily upon the most solid ground, moving forward step by step, upon mountains and down valleys, over the smooth as well as the rough, through the bitterness as well as the joy.

As I was washing my feet, I let my mind wander. I felt as if I was on a vast desert. Looking around, I saw millions of footprints, large and small, deep and shallow, being the marks of existence, and the traces of life. And there I was, using my own feet, making my own path, towards the oasis of life……

Thank you. 　　

女士們，先生們，上午好！ 　　

我想告訴大家一份不尋常的家庭作業(yè)，老師布置我們當(dāng)晚回家認(rèn)真給自己洗一遍腳，聽到后，我感到驚奇而有趣。

是啊，腳，我每晚必洗，但從未重視過。洗腳時，我津津有味地看著書，任雙腳摩挲，互幫互助。但今晚，當(dāng)我的雙手觸摸到自己的雙腳時，是多么的舒服、愜意啊！ 文章來自yingyu6.com

心中，總是覺得手比腳高貴，人們用香皂洗手，并抹上護手霜，百般呵護；而腳踩在地上，即使有鞋襪，也總被認(rèn)為是與灰土打交道的粗笨一族，并有不可避免的異味，腳，似乎成了身體中被忽視的部分。

我仔細(xì)地洗著腳，漸漸地，我明白了老師的用意：她布置這個特殊的任務(wù)，是為了讓我們認(rèn)識到腳，其實比我們想象的更偉大。

無可爭議，手固然重要?？赡_卻承擔(dān)著你生命的全部重量。 文章來自yingyu6.com

腳，負(fù)著你，你沉甸甸的希望和夢想，踩著踏實的大地，一步一步地前進，走上了高山也走下了峽谷，走過了平坦也走過了崎嶇，走過了苦難也走過了幸福。

我在洗腳，手腳依偎，恍惚間，我仿佛置身于廣袤的大漠中。環(huán)視四周，一串串大大小小深深淺淺的腳印，這是存在的證明，生命的印跡。而我用自己的雙腳，開辟著自己的道路，向生命的綠洲前進…… xiao688.com旗下英語路
