● Ice-skating as a sport, originated in Holland.

● From there, it spread to the rest of northern Europe and North America.

● The world's first ice-skating club was formed in Edinburgh, Scotland,

sometime around the end of the seventeenth century

不过滑冰作为一项运动则起源于荷兰。它从那儿传到北欧的其它地区和北美洲。大约在17世纪末，全世界第一家滑冰俱乐部在苏格兰爱丁堡成立。

● Skating is divided into figure skating and ice dancing.

● In figure skating, a couple performs a program of movements in harmony. ● They add a number of combined spins and spectacular lifts.

花样滑冰中，一对选手表演一套协调的动作。他们加入若干旋转动作组合和精彩的抬举动作。

● Ice dancers, in contrast, are not allowed to perform the athletic moves of figure

skaters.

● Instead, they perform dances such as tangos and waltzes,

and they must interpret the rhythm of the music.

冰上舞蹈选手是决不允许表演双人滑冰选手那敏捷动作的，而且冰上舞蹈选手彼此也很少分开。作为替代，他们表演探戈和华尔兹这类舞蹈，同时还必须表达出乐曲的韵律。

● Figure skating was one of the events at the first Winter Olympics in 1924.

● Before that, figure skaters had competed at the Summer Games as early as 1908. ● Ice dancing is a relatively new addition to the Games,

making its debut at the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria.

花样滑冰是19xx年首届冬季奥运会的比赛项目之一。在那之前，早在19xx年的夏季奥运会，花样滑冰选手们就曾较量过。冰上舞蹈则是奥运会中一个比较新的比赛项目， 于19xx年在奥地利因斯布鲁克冬季奥运会中首次登场。

● Though ice-skating is a highly technical activity, it is easy to appreciate.

● Millions of people around the world enjoy watching the harmonious movements of a skating couple

even if they don't know the names of the particular spins or jumps being used. ● They are simply attracted by the graceful beauty of this highly entertaining sport. 虽然滑冰是一项技术性很高的运动，欣赏起来却很容易。即使不知道运动员采用的那些特殊旋转或跳跃动作的名称，全世界数百万的人也乐于欣赏一对滑冰选手表演的和谐动作。他们仅仅是被这项高娱乐性的运动所展现的奇妙美感所吸引。

 

第二篇：大学英语演讲稿范文

《大学英语演讲稿范文》

I have been in University for about one year. During my stay here, I came to realize that university life is like drinking coke. We experience all tastes of life here, sour, sweet, bitter and hot.

I am from Province, which is far away from here. I often miss my Mum, friends, and relatives in my hometown. However, I can't see them very often. So loneliness always keeps me company. I am sad that I can't be there with them.

Lucky for me, life in university is rich and colorful. With more free time,we can do many more things besides study, such as joining

societies clubs, and taking part-time jobs. Such activities not only make our life more colorful, but also help us improve all kinds of skills. The university is a society miniature, what we learn here will benefit our future life.

Our path in life will not always be smooth. Setbacks can't be avoided. Failing an important exam, break up with boy or girl friend, or refused by a promising company, such setbacks are likely to get us down. Sometimes we fell so frustrated that we even burst into tears. Drinkin coke is wonderful, despite the undesirble consequent hiccups. It's bitter, sour and peppery, but also sweet. And you'll even feel excited after gulping down a glass. A college experience is part of growing up. We cry, smile, fall in love, get hurt, leave, learn and then we become a better person.

University life is like drinking coke. I'm experiencing it. And I know, I enjoy it!

的人生之路不会一帆风顺。挫折是无法的。失败的的考试,跟男孩女孩的朋友,或者拒绝由有前途的公司,会让的挫折。有时候,觉得很沮丧,甚至大哭起来。

喝可乐是美妙的,undesirble随之打嗝。这是苦的,酸和暴躁,而且甜。你甚至可以感觉到激动下一杯。全身后,大学的经验是成长的一。哭泣,微笑着,坠入爱河,受伤,离开,学习,然后做的人。

大学生活就像喝可乐。我的感受。我知道,我喜欢它!
