本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛改到第5版已经掏空了，却发现只顾着写故事了，还没有达到要求。这篇演讲的要求
1。用准确的词来描述。---- 这个急请大家在某处加上几个比较漂亮的词(比方心情的描述，操作的描述，感觉的描述)，让我的描述更准确。
2。要求用到修辞手法，比方排比，比方比喻，比方拟人，比方押韵(头韵尾韵都行) ---- 这个我也想不出来。你能帮我想什么都行，贴在我演讲的某处，体现一下就行。

两天后就要讲了，俺的要求也不高了，大家想到哪儿就帮我到哪儿吧。大年初一，我在北极，还有什么零下25度，小手托脸，什么也没穿。。。等，请大家帮忙。

Mr. (Madam) Toastmaster, Fellow members and welcome guest,

Imagination
I knew I had imagination but it was lost (-- no read)

Like all kids, when I was young, I had a lot of imagination. To fly, to go to outer space, to visit the stars, those were all my imaginings. With imagination, I felt happy and happy.

I could not remember when I did not imagine any more, but one day when I looked back, I found that the space craft existed already. My imaginings came to reality and I found I had no more imagination. What else should I imagine? My real life became an eat-work-sleep repetition every single day. Imagination is not part of my life anymore, and instead, boringness, pressure, and work were together with me. And I was not alone, not in the minority.

[1’30”]
Suddenly I found others still had imagination and it was so beautiful (read)

That was when my kids were watching cartoons like Tom and Jerry. When Tom chases Jerry and runs into the wall, you see a hole in the shape of Tom. That is an imagination about the power of the hit.

When Tom is smashed by a door, you see him become a tapestry hanging on the wall. A couple of minutes later he crumples down to the ground and becomes alive again. That is an imagination about the strength of the action and the reaction.

I feel happy again when thinking about such imagination, and my imagination came back again because we need imagination to move ourselves and others.

[3’]
I plotted, carried out, then presented to bring my imagination into reality

With my imagination, I presented a song called Fairytale this way,

The first half of the lyrics describes the reality that the singer, a guy, loves a girl deeply and always tries everything to make her happy, but the girl always feels sad and doubts the consequences are good. There are a lot of subtle emotions like happy, hurt, and pain when the guy tries to convince her and to comfort her. The guy sings

You tell me that you do not believe the fairytale any more, and that I am not your prince. You might not understand since you told me you love me, my sky, the stars become glows. BUT, my heart is broken when I see you sad. Tell me why you are so miserable, I care about you.

[4’]
From the middle of the song, the guy cries out, with his imagination he describes the bright future and the consequence of them,

I wish to be the angel that you love, with open arms turning to wings to guard you. You need to believe that we will have our happiness and joyfulness at the end just like the princes and the princesses in the fairytales.

Sad then happy, reality then future, appear in turns in the same song. It must be a touching moment if we present the guy’s imaginings on the stage by imagination.

A prop piano, a symbol or romance, is put on stage. For the first half, the singer and the girl present the blue reality, they are together but the girl tries to escape now and then. Then the piano opens into two halves and coming out is a male dancer wearing a pair of wings and stuns the audience into silence. The dancer and the girl dance the future. The singer, says, this is the future I promise you.

[5’30”]
Another song tells about a girl she thinks she finally grows up. She is excited that she finally can fly, freely.

We imagine how the audience feel if the girl flies from the middle of the song when she sings

See me fly, I ‘am proud to fly up high

And she spins in the sky when she sings

Believe me I can fly, I am singing in the sky.

It’s fantastic. We can make use of a prop mountain and put a lever behind it. When the girl steps on the lever, she is raised up. With a big fan and dry ice, the audience sees her fly above the mountain and it is very breathtaking.

Plot, carry out and present an imagining with imagination, that makes me really moved.

I feel happy again when thinking about such imagination, and my happy imagination came back again.

The first half of the lyrics describes the reality that the singer, a guy, loves a girl deeply and always tries everything to make her happy, but the girl always feels sad and doubts the consequences are good. The singer and a girl dancer evolve a lot of subtle emotions like happy, hurt, and pain when the guy tries to convince her and to comfort her.

From the middle of the song, the guy cries out, with his dreams, he describes the bright future and the consequence of them.

A prop piano, a symbol of romance, is put on stage. The piano opens into two halves and coming out is a male dancer wearing a pair of wings and stuns the audience into silence. The dancer and the girl dance the future. The agile, quick and beautiful movements, jump, and lift tell the audience in modern ballet vocabulary about love, support, trust and promise. The audience see that the male dancer opens his arms turning to wings to guard the girl, see their happiness and joyfulness, and see the blissful consequence at the end just like the princes and the princesses in the fairytales.

It is a touching moment when we present the singer’s imagination, his dream on the stage by our imagination -- prop piano that can open, the angel wearing wings, modern ballet, Sad then happy, reality then future, appear in turns on the stage in the same song.

[5’30”]
Another song tells about a girl she thinks she finally grows up. She is excited that she finally is free like flying.

We imagine how the audience feel if the girl suddenly flies above the stage from the middle of the song when she sings

See me fly, I ‘am proud to fly up high

And she spins in the sky when she sings

Believe me I can fly, I am singing in the sky.

As an audience, how would you feel? Wow! Fantastic! I’m moved! It’s a miracle! How can the girl fly?

How? It is creative and full of imagination. Behind a prop mountain is a lever, big one. When the girl steps on one end, she is raised up. With a big fan and dry ice, the audience sees her fly above the mountain and it is very breathtaking.

Plot, carry out and present imagination with imagination, that makes me really moved and I am really eager to see how you present yours.

Mr. Toastmaster, Fellow members and welcome guest,

Imagination

Like everyone else, when I was a kid, I had a lot of imagination, to fly like a bird, to go to outer space and to visit a distance star.

I couldn’t remember when I could not imagine any more, but one day when I looked back, I found that the space craft had already existed, that left me much less room for imagination. And my mind was also filling up with boringness, anxiousness and working pressure.

[1’10”]
But suddenly I found that others still had imagination and it was so beautiful.

That was when my kids were watching Tom and Jerry, the cartoon. You know, when Tom chases Jerry and crashes into the wall, he creates a hole in the shape of himself. That is a good imagination about the power of the hit.

When Tom is smashed by a closing door, he becomes a tapestry hanging on the wall. A couple of minutes later he crumples down to the ground and becomes alive again. That is an imagination about the strength of the action and the reaction.

I felt overjoyed with the cartoons. The wonderful feeling brought by imagination came back to me again.

[2’30”]
With my imagination, I presented a song called Fairytale on the stage this way,

First, the singer and his girl friend evolve a lot of subtle emotions like happy, sad, and pain. That is because the singer loves the girl deeply and always tries everything to make her happy, but the girl, though loves him as well, always feels sad and doubts that their consequence are good.

[3’30”]
Then from the middle of the song, the guy cries out, with his dreams he tries to show her a bright future and the good consequences of them.

To create such an atmosphere, a prop piano, a symbol of romance, opens into two halves and coming out is a male dancer wearing a pair of wings and stuns the audience into silence. The dancer, representing the singer in his dreamful future, dances the future with the girl. The agile, quick and beautiful movements like jump, lift show the audience in modern ballet vocabulary about love, support, trust and promise. The audience see that the dancer opens his arms turning to wings to guard her, the audience see their happiness and joyfulness, and the audience see the blissful consequence at the end just like a prince and a princess in a fairytale.

It was a touching moment when the singer’s imagination, his dream was presented on the stage by our imagination.

[5’30”]
Can you as an audience imagine how you would feel if you see them fly away above the stage at the end of the song? Wow! Fantastic! I’m moved! It’s a miracle! How can they fly?

How? It is creative and full of imagination. Behind a prop mountain is a lever, a big one. When they walk to and step on one end, they are raised up. With dry ice and a big fan blowing, the audience see them fly above the mountain and it is very breathtaking.
Plot, carry out and present imagination with imagination, that makes me really moved and I am really eager to see how you present yours.
