感恩有你

高二（8）班  谢弘昊

老师们，同学们，大家早上好：

我是来自高二（8）班的谢弘昊。今天我讲话的主题是：感恩。

我想用亚当斯密在著述《道德情操论》时的一段思考引入主题：“如果某种没有生命的东西曾经或者常常带给我们快乐，那么，我们也会对它心怀感激。一位水手，当他一上岸，就立即把那一块他刚刚得以逃离海难的木板劈了生火，似乎是犯了一种很不人道的罪行。同样的，对一幢我们长期居住的房子，以及一棵长期让我们享受绿荫的大树，我们都会怀着某种尊敬的心情看待，好像它们是两位恩人似的。如果那幢房子塌了，或那棵树倒了，我们会感到郁郁不乐，即使我们没有蒙受任何的损失。”

亚当斯密的道德哲学命题通常深奥难懂，但所举例子往往是我们身边的琐事，因此易于理解，水手对待木板，还有我们对待房子、树的态度，其实就是我们平常说的老话题，人一定要有一颗感恩的心。

英国谚语有云：感恩是美德中最微小的，忘恩负义是品行中最不好的。与谦虚，巧辩，诚实等美德相比，感恩确实让人容易忽视，但不可或缺。如果一个人对他所拥有一切值得称赞的美德与为人歆羡的名声财富认为是他理所应得的却不知对此感恩，那么我们也会认为他并不值得我们尊重。后蜀主孟昶，虽非明君，但亲政后颁发《令箴》给各级官员，教导他们要感恩缴税的百姓。现代作家史铁生对他从小生长游玩，长大后悟出生命永恒的地坛同样心生恩情。宗教最注重感恩，基督教尤为甚。他们感恩上帝创造万物，感谢上帝给予粮食和净水得以生存。虽然不能强求所有人都信仰上帝，但我们希望每个人都怀有感恩之心。生育抚养我们的至亲，携手前行的密友，乃至饭堂前适时绽放的宫粉羊蹄甲，冬雨过后放晴的天空，都值得我们心存感恩。

以上所说的，都曾经给予我们恩惠、鼓励与帮助，让我们充满正能量。但是，除了这些，我们也会遇到打击、磨难与坎坷，同样的，我们也应该感恩。《老人与海》中有这样一句话：生活会让你遍体鳞伤，但到后来，那些受伤的地方都会成为我们身体最强壮的地方。我们遇到的挫折与困难，或许会让当时的我们颓废不已，但不消多时，我们又会重新振作起来，继续向前。那些拦路石，最终也不过变成了我们口中的“经历”罢了。没有鳌拜、吴三桂，康熙被称千古大帝或许略显无力；没有家道中落，潦倒半生，曹雪芹也许不能创造出《红楼梦》。感恩磨难，让我们的心在经历一次次磨练后更加坚强，朝着愈益深重的黑暗，继续前行。

卢梭说过：没有感恩就没有真正的美德。诚然，我们应该感谢所有让我们在成长旅途中，在生命延续中，在思想成熟中，那些不断促进和鞭策我们的人和事，甚至没有生命的东西，包括疾病，对手。

感恩节刚刚过去，希望同学们不只是随意说着应节的“感恩节快乐”，而是在生活中，对恩师，对知己，对甘霖，对阳光，对习以为常的事物，都心怀感激与尊敬，真正地从感恩中获得快乐。

谢谢。

Thanksgiving
高二（2）班 何嘉维

    Good Morning my dear teachers and fellow students, I am Vivian from class 2 senior 2. Today my topic is Thanksgiving.
    If something with or without life has ever brought us happiness, then we will be grateful to it.
    The moral philosophy of Adam Smith is always profound, but the examples are around us. Therefore, it is easy for us to understand the main meanings of the Theory of Moral Sentiments. Actually, the attitude we treat the things in the book is like the old saying: the essential thing  we should have is a grateful heart.
    There is an English locution: Thanksgiving is the most trivial of all the virtues and the devoid of gratitude is the worst of all the conducts. Compared with honesty and modesty, thanksgiving is easy to be ignored. However, it’s still the most significant. We always show our respect to the person who is grateful instead of the person who is rich but without thanksgiving. The Christian religion may be the most grateful religion. The Christians always give thanks to the god for food, clean water, almost everything. Although we can’t request all the people to believe in the God, we hope everyone has a thankful heart. Everyone and everything in our life is worth us being grateful to them, such as our parents, friends, even if the beautiful flowers and the crystal sky.
    The examples mentioned above give us grace, encouragement and help, let us be full of positive energy. But apart from that, we will meet the troubles and tribulation. Also, we should thank this. There is a sentence in the "Old Man": life makes you black and blue, but later, where those injured will become our strongest areas of the body.Rousseau said: no thanks, no real virtue. Indeed, we should be
    grateful to all, such as someone who just gave us a hand or help us achieve the goals or something not in existence but encourages us a lot.
    Thanks for your listening.
