【国旗下讲话】第6周：做个正直的人To be an upright person
老师们、同学们：
上午好，我们是来自初中部八年级2班的魏雨欣、庄星宝。今天，我们演讲的主题是“做一个正直的人”。
保尔·柯察金，《钢铁是怎样炼成的》的主人公，一个敢作敢为的人，一个有勇气坚持自己的信念的人。我想成为这样的人，想成为这样一个正直的人。
Hello, Dear teachers and students：
We are from Grade 8 Class 2. Today, the theme of my speech is “To be an upright person”.
Paul Korchagin, the protagonist of How Steel Was Tempered, is a bold man and a man who has the courage to adhere to his beliefs. I want to be such a person, and want to be such an an upright person.
保尔生活在社会的底层，看透了形形色色的小人。受压迫、受欺侮，在各种不平等与平等的边缘上徘徊。在保尔的幼年世界中，没有明确的信念，只是为了最基本的温饱问题而工作。后来，他在朱赫来等老一辈布尔什维克的教育帮助下，，明确了自己的信念：为全人类的解放而斗争，从此开始积极投身于捍卫苏维埃政权的斗争，成为了一名光荣的布尔什维克。
Paul lives at the bottom of the society and sees through all kinds of villains. They are oppressed and bullied by all kinds of inequality and equality. In Paul’s childhood, he didn’t have a clear belief, but only worked for the most basic food and clothingproblems. Later, with the education and help of the older generation of Bolsheviks such as Zhu Helai, he made clear his belief: to fight for the liberation of all people, and began to take part in the struggle actively to defend the Soviet regime,He became a glorious Bolshevik.
为保卫红色政权，保尔南征北战，冲锋陷阵，他打仗十分勇敢，无所畏惧。保尔在战争中接受了一次又一次的考验，忍受着身体与精神上的双重痛苦。在此过程中，他也曾动摇过，甚至想过自杀，但经过激烈的思想斗争，他终于战胜了自己，决心通过写文学作品继续参加战斗。可以说，保尔将自己的全部精力、甚至整个生命，都献给了革命。
In order to defend the Red regime, Paul fought from south to north. He fought bravely and fearlessly. Paul has been tested again and again in the war, and endured the double pain of body and spirit. During this process, he also wavered and even thought of suicide. But after a fierce ideological struggle, he finally defeated himself and decided to continue to take part in the battle by writing literary works. It can be said that Paul devoted all his energy, even his whole life, to the revolution.
是什么支撑着他在这条艰难的革命道路上一直走下去的呢？我想是因为他有坚定不移的革命信念以及坚持信念的勇气与毅力吧！
What supports him on this difficult revolutionary road? I think it is because he has the unswerving revolutionary faith and the courage and perseverance to adhere to the faith!
同学们，从今天开始，做一个像保尔一样正直的人吧，明确自己的信念，并为之勇敢奋斗吧！愿你们回首青春时，不会因为虚度年华而悔恨，也不会因为碌碌无为而羞耻！
Boys and girls, from today on, be a person of integrity like Paul, make clear your faith, and fight bravely for it! When you look back on your youth, you will not regret for wasting your time, nor will you be ashamed for doing nothing!
