　　敬愛的老師，親愛的同學們：

　　大家早上好！今天，我講話的題目是《流水不腐，戶樞不蠹》。

　　Dear teachers and school fellows,

　　Good morning! Today, my topic is water does not rot; door-hinge is never worm-eaten,

　　"流水不腐，戶樞不蠹"是個成語，出自《呂氏春秋》Lu Shi Chun Qiu,意指常流的水不發臭，常轉的門軸不遭蟲蛀。比喻經常運動，生命力才能持久，才有旺盛的活力。

　　Water does not rot; door-hinge is never worm-eaten,is a phrase from Lu Shi Chun Qiu.This metaphor tells us that exercising regularly can keep life longer and keep us more energetic.

　　古人對運動與強身健體關係的深刻認識，是在兩千多年前。下面我給大家講三個故事。

　　As far as two thousand years ago, Ancients had a profound understanding of the relationship between exercise and body. Well,let me tell you three stories.

　　第一個故事是《管仲開游泳館》。齊桓公想北伐，又怕越國乘機入侵，為了防備越國入侵，需要訓練水兵。齊桓公問計管仲，管仲建議開展游泳活動。管仲開辦游泳館，鼓勵群眾學習游泳，對能游者賜千金，通過這種辦法，從學習游泳的群眾中選拔出了5萬名水兵。齊桓公北伐時，越兵果然從水路來偷襲齊國，管仲有了水軍的準備，打敗了來襲的越人。

　　The first story is about a person called Guan Zhong, who opened a swimming pool to encourage people to swim and rewarded themwith a lot of wealth so as to recruit50,000 sailors. This was because the Duke Huan of Qiwanted to embark a battle against the northern states. Meanwhile, he was afraid that Yue State would take the opportunity to invade his state.Eventually, As heexpected, Yue state invaded Qi State during the war, but the sailors succeeded in defeating them.

　　第二個故事是《華佗創編五禽戲》。華佗是東漢著名的醫學家。他認為，大多數的疾病都是因為氣血不流通而發生的，如果人體也經常活動，讓氣血暢通，不就能保持身體健康了。於是他天天早早起來，在庭院里做些活動，伸伸胳膊，抬抬腿，彎彎腰，扭扭脖子。一有空，他就研究活動身體的方法，在實踐中創編了一套"五禽戲".華佗的五禽戲，是模仿虎、鹿、猿、熊、鳥的動作，多是俯伏在地上進行，活動量很大，也就是今天的保健體操。每天堅持操練五禽戲的華佗，到了晚年也是耳聰目明，百疾不生，童顏鶴髮，老而不衰。

　　The second story is "the famous physician, Hua Tuo,composed"five animal mimic boxing;" He believed that most of the diseases were due to lack of blood circulation.It occurred to him that exercising regularlywas a good way to solve the problem, maintaining a healthy body. So he woke up early every day, doing activities in the courtyard, such as stretching his arms, liftinglegs, curving waist, twistingneck. Day after day, he composed a set of five animal mimic boxing practice including the imitation of five animals, respectively tiger, deer, monkey, bear, and bird. Because he kept up doing five animal mimic boxing, he led a healthy life with good ears and eyes in his old days.

　　第三個故事是《陶侃運磚頭練筋骨》。陶侃是東晉時期的一位名將，降職到廣州，並沒有灰心喪氣。他每天早晨把一百塊磚頭從書房裡搬到屋外，到了晚上，又把磚頭一疊疊運到屋裡。人們看到他每天這樣做，感到很奇怪，忍不住問他為什麼這樣做。陶侃嚴肅地說："如果閑散慣了，將來國家需要我的時候，還怎麼能擔當重任呢？所以，我每天借這個練練筋骨。"

　　The third story isTao kan’s practicing by carrying bricks. Tao Kan was a famous general in Jin Dynasty who was demoted to Guangzhou butnot discouraged. Every morning he moved hundred pieces of brick from the study outside and at night he did the opposite. It was so strange that others asked him why he did this.Tao Kan said gravely: "What if the country offers me a chance to serve in the future SoI have tostrengthen myselfto stand by at any time "

　　古人的三個故事告訴我們，運動不但能強身健體，而且能培養毅力品質。同學們，我們可以擁有一切美好的事物，可以擁有金錢、權力、地位、愛情等，但這一切都是以健康的身體為前提的。如果離開了健康的身體，一切都將化為烏有。伴隨着全民健身活動的蓬勃開展，人們的生活觀念發生了巨大變化。在一些大中城市，為健康而消費成為新時代提高生活質量的一種時尚，請客吃飯不如請客健身已成風尚；守在電視機前為中國足球隊的屢戰屢敗而失望，不如自己抱着足球走上綠茵場。

　　Three stories of the ancients tell us that exercise not only can develop physical health, but also the character ofperseverance. Students, we have many things such as money, power, status, love, etc. but these are based on having a healthy body. If not, everything will come to naught.Along with the prevalentsports activities, people”s idea of life has changed dramatically. In some cities, people prefer to treat friends to fitness rather than a big dinner.People would like to go to the football pitch instead of sittingdisappointedfor the defeat of Chinese soccer team in front of the TV.

　　看着男生在球場上拼殺的女生們，別再三五成群的閑逛了，跳跳繩，踢踢毽子，跑跑步……都是不錯的運動。

　　Watching theboyson the pitchgrappling, girlshad better not hang outin small groups any longer. Why not dorope -skipping,shuttlecock-kicking, running …which will be a smart decision.

　　同學們，讓"讓流水不腐，戶樞不蠹"這句千古名言，激勵着我們自覺地投身體育鍛煉中吧。

　　School fellows, the quote --the water does not rot, door hinge is never worm-eaten inspires us to participate in physical exercise consciously.

　　我運動，我健康；我運動，我快樂。生命不息，運動不止。愛運動，我們擁有健康的體魄；愛運動，我們享受精彩的生活。愛運動，能讓你高效、活潑而富有……那就讓我們一起來運動吧！

　　Doing exercise makes youhealthy and enjoyable, effective as well as wealthy.What about doingexercise together

　　我的講話完了。謝謝大家！

　　That’s all. Thank you!
