　　 Responsibility is a Badge of Honour for Youth

　　 (96 “年21 ” 　世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛二等奖获得者，北京外国语大学徐义成)

　　 Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling of

participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more

than a mere competition or contest. It is an assembly of some of China's most

talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that

are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.

　　 I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historic

moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious

look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for

this nation as well.

　　 Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience,

and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the

root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by

the past 15 years.

　　 In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked

very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.

　　 The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a

lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to

evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.

　　 One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "Could you

please explain this to me? I want very much to do better this time. " I

started explaining, and finished in a hurry. Pretending not to notice her

still confused eyes, I ran off quickly. Nat surprisingly, she again did very

badly in the exam. And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester,

word came of her death of blood cancer. No one ever knew about the little task

I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself. I simply couldn't forget

her eyes, which seem to be asking, "Why didn't you do a little more to help

me, when it was so easy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better the

trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain

and regret?"

　　 I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the

very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word

"responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly,

for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and

trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very

foundation of human society.

　　 Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures. But never again

did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes

my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power to

fulfill my responsibilities as best I can.

　　 As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar

ones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that

society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. New buildings, new

commodities and new fashions appear every day.

　　 New ideas, new information, new technologies. People can talk with each

other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. Society is becoming

more competitive.

　　 Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more

people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Such is the era in which

this generation ,grows and matures.

　　 Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from

our fathers and learn to run it. Yet in the meantime, many problems still

exist.

　　 We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people

looking on and not assisting. We hear that there are still about 1 million

children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools

while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and

luxury cars.

　　 We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of

medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money,

many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be

made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.

　　 Such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener

sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think

critically and act creatively.8

　　 Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear

perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take

action and solve the problems. History has long been preparing these qualities

in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our

patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.

　　 Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary

student. Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. But this

doesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility and

devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful

and worthwhile life that I will be living.

　　 Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has

achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom

will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by

posterity. But that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world

watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will

be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.

　　 I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same

opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful

world tomorrow.

　　 It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the

challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom

and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier

land for every one of us.

　　 We are not going to evade that responsibility. We are going to let people

down. And people, far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to

their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold,

So let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and

meet the new century in victory and glory.

15 年，我感激万分。

　　尽管只能谈谈个人经历，而且只涉及其中一个小小的片段，但我相信，它仍然折射出

对我和在过去 15 年一同成起来的青年人都不可缺少的一种思想基。间长础

　　我上小学时，班上有位小姑娘，学习非常刻苦而成绩却不尽人意。

　　老师要我帮助她。看得出，她也寄厚望于我。但我那时还是个小男孩，坐不住，不懂

事。我老是 ME 避她。以便有更多时间自己玩。

　　 “期末考试前一天，她来求我说请你给我讲解一下行吗?”这次我很想考得好一点。我

开始给她讲解，不一会儿便草草收场，假装没有察觉她迷茫的眼神，一溜烟儿地跑开了。

不出所料，这次她又考砸了。两个月后，新学期依始，传来她死于血癌的消息。我没有完

成那项小小的任务，无人知晓。但我却不能原谅自己。她的眼睛令我难以忘怀，仿佛在责
