Learn to Say No, learn to Grow ——成外高新高一第57、58期英语演讲角活动纪实

著名作家贾平凹在文章《学会拒绝》中这样写道：“我拒绝永远明媚的日子，因为那是虚幻的梦境。痛苦可以让我成长，让我坚强。我拒绝用青春去赌明天。那弥足珍贵的季节，怎能经得起一掷千金？”诚然，和他人保持思想和情感的共鸣可以迅速让我们收获同感和友谊，但若一味附和，反而会失去最真的自己。因为一次次的退让，一次次的允许，只会让自己远离“初心”。

4月28日&5月12日，我校高一英语演讲角（Speakers’ Corner）在孔子广场如期举行。两期的主题为“Learn to Say No, learn to Grow”（拒绝盲从，方得成长）。来自高一7班的米紫菱，高一11班向乐仪，高一13班兰博渊，高一8班卿黎婼，高一9班陈雨妃参加了第57期演讲角落。来自高一10班的陈铭，高一6班赵婧雨，高一4班于卓君，高一14班柳书棋参加了第58期演讲角落。演讲者们通过自己精彩的演说，呼吁同窗们学会拒绝，坚持自我。拒绝是我们每个人与生俱来的权利，更是保持风雅，坚守自我的态度。

以下是精彩演讲内容。

高一7班米紫菱

In the dark Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming refused to be an officer and associate with the evil persons. So we can see his enjoyable leisurely rural life.

在黑暗的晋朝，陶渊明拒绝入朝为官，我们看到了他享受田园的悠然生活。

高一11班向乐仪

Maybe saying no can avoid something bad. You need to consider the consequences，therefore，think twice before action.

也许说“不”可以避免一些不好的事情。因此，你需要考虑后果，三思而后行。

高一13班兰博渊

Suffering can make me grow and stronger. Losses are often God’s blessing in disguise. 苦难能使我成长和坚强。损失往往是上帝伪装的祝福。

高一8班卿黎婼

We should distinguish between the right and wrong.   And we should try to grow in the constant identifications and rejections.

我们需要区分正确与错误。我们也需要在不断辩识和拒绝中成长。

高一10班陈铭

On the way of growth, we should always keep a kind heart and help others at the right time.

在成长的道路上，我们应该永葆善良的心，及时帮助其他人。

高一6班赵婧雨

In our early childhood, we learn to walk by refusing the warm embrace of our parents. When we grow up, we have to refuse many temptations and go to study harder for a better future. When we enter the society, we have to work hard to survive in the fierce society.

Learning to say no is also the beginning of our growth. We begin to have a discerning consciousness, gradually distinguish what is good and what is bad, what should or shouldn't be done.

在我们幼年时，我们通过拒绝父母的热情拥抱来学习走路。当我们长大了，我们必须拒绝许多诱惑，为了更美好的未来而更加努力地学习。当我们进入社会时，我们必须努力在激烈的社会中生存。

学会说不也是我们成长的开始。我们开始有一个敏锐的意识，逐渐区分什么是好，什么是坏，什么应该做或不应该做。

高一4班于卓君

To do it without build obedience, first of all ,you should trust yourself and have confidence in yourself. We should analyze whether the road other people have travelled is suitable for you and clarify your goals rather than attach yourself to others without analysis. Only by refusing blind obedience can we really grow up.

要做到不建立服从，首先要相信自己，对自己有信心。我们应该分析别人走过的路是否适合你，明确自己的目标，而不是不分析就依附在别人身上。只有拒绝盲从，我们才能真正成长。

高一14班柳书棋

Learning to say no courageously doesn't mean seeking to be different.

勇敢地学会拒绝并不意味着寻求不同。
