【国旗下讲话】肯合作，会服务Cooperation and Service
敬爱的老师、亲爱的同学们：
Dear teachers and friends:
大家上午好！今天我们要演讲的题目是肯合作，会服务。
Good morning!Today our topic is: Cooperation and Service.
我们任何人在这个世界上都不是孤立存在的，不论你从事什么职业，也不论你在何时何地,都离不开与别人的合作。尤其是在现代社会里,如果你想获得成功，就必须学会合作。
As the old saying goes, no man is an island. No matter what you do, no matter where you are, you can’t do anything without working with other people. If you want to succeed, you have to learn to cooperate, especially in this modern society.
一位外国的教育家建请中国的几个小学生做了一个小实验。在一个小口瓶里，放着七个穿线的小球，线的一送露出瓶子，瓶子代表一幢房子，小球代表室里的人。
A western educator invited several Chinese pupils to conduct an experiment. Seven small balls were put in a narrow-mouth bottle, with one end of a thread sticking out of the bottle. The bottle represented a house, the balls represented people in the house.
假设房子突然起火了，只有在规定的时间内逃出来的人才有可能生存。那位教育家请学生各拉一根线，听到响声便以最快速度将球从瓶中提出。
Suppose the house was on fire suddenly, only the ones who escape within given time are likely to survive. The educator asked each student to hold on to a thread and pull the ball out of the bottle as quick as possible when they heard a sound.
实验即将开始，所有的目光都集中在瓶口上。哨声响了，七个孩子一个接着一个，依次从瓶子里取出了自己的小球，总共才用了3秒钟。
The experiment was beginning, all eyes were on the bottle. The whistling began, seven students pulled out their balls one by one. The whole process only took three seconds!
在场的人得不自某地较起掌来。这位外国专家连事说：“真了不起真了不起我在许多地方做过这个实验，从未成功，至多逃出一两个人，多数情况是几个小球同时卡在了瓶口，我从你们身上看到了一种可贵的合作精神。”
All the people present couldn’t help clapping. “Great! Great! ” She said repeatedly, ”I have tried this experiment in many places and it has never worked, only one or two escaped at most. More often than not, several balls get stuck in the bottle at the same time. I see a valuable spirit of cooperation in you.”
可见成功的合作要有统一的目标，大家始终要把那个目标放在心里，为了一个共同的目标而奋斗。
Therefore, successful cooperation requires a unified goal, and everyone should always keep the goal in mind and strive for it.
除了合作之外，我们还需要用心服务。我们怎样才能做到真正“用心服务” 呢?我们需要细心、热心和耐心。打个比方，如果说热心和耐心是点亮笑容的烛光，那么细心就是那个默默支撑的烛台。
In addition to cooperation, we also need to serve with heart. How can we “serve with heart”?We need to be careful, enthusiastic and patient. If enthusiastic and patient were candlelight which makes us smile, patient would be the candlestick that silently supports it.
我们要设身处地地为别人着想，尽可能去帮助他们，用自己的真心付出，证明着“用心服务”就是永远从心底口人里去关爱他人，帮助他人。我们的演讲完毕，谢谢大家！
We should put ourselves in the shoes of others, try our best to help them and give with our heart, to prove that “serving with heart” means always caring for others and helping others from the bottom of your heart.That’s all for today, thank you!
