3分钟英语演讲稿带翻译：机会与挑战并存

The tempo of modern civilization has been much quickened in the last twenty years. While witnessing the dramatic changes in the better-off society, people begin to reconsider the question of "survival". "Survival" in the old sense does not bother us anymore. Instead, we are more concerned about how to "survive" in the human world full of competition.
　　Competition always carries abreast challenges and opportunities to everyone involved. It might appear in an entrance exam, in a regular class, or in a small public speech. Those who fail to detect its real nature-whether an opportunity or a challenge a competition really is- will lose something more or less conducive to our growth. Of course, if we take the competition as an opportunity, we will favor it intentionally because they can help us outstand from the average; they will make us become the focus of public attention; they will grant us more chances and rights to succeed. As a matter of fact, opportunities are supposed to be more perceptible and welcoming than challenges. The truth is, however, we will lose more opportunities when we choose to take the "opportunity" fork at the crossroads. The other fork, ignored by us and defined as "fearful challenges", offers much more chances for the walker in competition.
　　We have such an inclination in life to overestimate ourselves and hold a thoughtless attitude towards the negative outlook of things.
　　We believe in the old saying, "Opportunity knocks but just once," so we always welcome it and devote all our spirit and efforts to it. The most devout believer of this saying are the graduates. Why? There are quite a number of them who pay full attention to positions in big cities and are willing to flood into developed areas under any circumstances, even though there will be too much uncertainty for their choices. Innumerable cases go straight to the same miserable end: God seems to refuse to help too many of His worshipers.
　　In conclusion, to define the quality of competition seems to be far from valuable sense, for no matter what a competition is, an opportunity or a challenge, it will create nutritious elements for our growth.
　　So take a positive look at everything around. Keep our face to the sunshine, and we will not see the shadows.

现代文明的速度已经大大加快，在过去二十年。虽然目睹了小康社会的急剧变化，人们开始重新考虑“生存”的问题。在老意义上的“生存”不打扰我们了。相反，我们更关心的是在人类世界充满了竞争如何“生存”。
比赛总是带有并进的挑战和机遇，每个人都参与。它可能会出现在入学考试，在普通班，或在一个小公开演讲。这些谁无法检测它的真实性质，无论是机会还是挑战，竞争真的是 - 将失去更多的东西还是少，有利于我们的成长。当然，如果我们以竞赛为契机，我们将有利于它故意，因为他们可以帮助我们outstand从平均水平;他们将让我们成为公众关注的焦点;他们会给予我们更多的机会和权利，以取得成功。由于事实上，机会应该是更多的感知和热情大于挑战。事实是，但是，我们将失去更多的机会，当我们选择采取了“机会”叉处于十字路口。其他叉，被我们忽略，被定义为“可怕挑战”，提供了步行者的比赛更加的机会。
我们在生活中有这样的倾向，高估了自己，并保持对负面展望的事情轻率的态度。
我们相信一句老话，“机会来临，但只有一次，”所以我们随时欢迎，并全身心的精神，努力吧。这句话最虔诚的信徒都是大学毕业生。为什么？有相当多的人谁充分重视在大城市的立场，愿意涌入发达地区在任何情况下，即使将是他们的选择太多的不确定性。无数的情况下，直接进入同一个凄惨下场：上帝似乎拒绝帮助太多他的崇拜者。
总之，要定义质量的竞争似乎是远离有价值的意义上说，不管是什么比赛是机遇还是挑战，它将为我们的成长营养元素。
因此，积极对待周围的一切。让我们的脸的阳光，我们将不会看到阴影。
