第1篇 诺贝尔化学奖得主斯特凡·赫尔在颁奖晚宴英语演讲稿

your majesties,your royal highnesses,ladies and gentlemen,

what a week, what a day, and what a night...!

i cannot imagine anything more exhilarating than to stand here this evening – also on behalf ofmy colleagues w. e. moerner and eric betzig – thanking the swedish academy and the nobelfoundation for the honor that has been bestowed upon us. we are so grateful to all who havesupported us on our path and – above all – we feel very, very humbled.

like all laureates, each of us three has his own road to this magnificent hall. our personalstories have been quite different.

yet – we have much in common: passion for what we do, and fascination with things thatcannot be done, or – let’s say – things that cannot be done...supposedly.

erwin schrödinger, who spoke at this banquet eighty-one years ago tonight, wrote: “it is fairto state that we are not going to experiment with single particles any more than we will raisedinosaurs in the zoo”.

well, one of us, w. e., discovered just the opposite – single molecules can indeed be seen andplayed with individually.

now, ladies and gentlemen, what do we learn from this?

first. erwin schrödinger would never have gone on to write “jurassic park”...

second. as a nobel laureate you should say “this or that is never going to happen”, becauseyou will increase your chances tremendously – of being remembered – decades later – in anobel banquet speech.

and so, – on to superresolution fluorescence imaging. according to the belief, molecules closertogether than 200 nanometers could not be told apart with focused light. this is because, in apacked molecular crowd, the molecules shout out their fluorescence simultaneously, causingtheir signal, their voices, to be confused.

but, believe it or not, eric found a way to discern the molecules by calling on each one ofthem individually, using a microscope so simple – that he built it with a friend – in his livingroom.

as for myself, i never had that kind of patience. calling on each molecule one by one? noway. i just told all of them to be quiet – except for a selected few.

just keep the molecules quiet, and let only a few speak up. ... a simple solution to asupposedly unsolvable problem. it made the resolution limit - history.

now have a guess, where did this idea occur to me?

not very far from here, actually: in a student dorm in finnish åbo – in what you may kindly call– a living room.

so, what does it take, ladies and gentlemen, to end up standing here, telling you a story ofimportant discoveries or improvements?

well...you definitely need a living room. at the very least, you need a place to sleep. and whenyou fall asleep you may forget that others consider you – too daring or too foolish.

but when morning comes, you would better find yourself saying: “i have so many choices ofwhat to do or what to leave – every morning, every day. i better judge for myself, and – goahead and do it.”

because nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come – even if it came in a –living room – or to someone – with a humble living.

and – if you feel we’ll never raise dinosaurs...who knows? one day someone may be actuallystanding here – giving a banquet speech.

so, let us embrace a culture that addresses problems deemed impossible to solve – and letus now honor those who will do so with a toast.

第2篇 威*王子在英国犹太护理中心25周年庆祝晚宴上英语演讲稿

thank you very much, lord levy, for your extremely kind introduction and, to lionel, for giving your time to entertain us this evening. i imagine this crowd is a lot rowdier than what you will have at glastonbury.

ladies and gentlemen, thank you for inviting me to join you this evening for your birthdaycelebrations. nearly two hundred years ago, in 1819, there were two quite monumental births.the first was monumental for my family – the birth of my great, great, great, greatgrandmother, queen victoria, who went on to live 81 years and whose daughter-in-law,alexandra, gave her name to this amazing building.

the second remarkable birth was of an organisation, which later became known as the jewishblind society. over the next two centuries, the world changed considerably. yet there hasalways been one constant in the united kingdom – a jewish community which has organiseditself to support those who need help and support. whether in the time of the jewish board ofguardians, or the jewish welfare board or, in our generation, jewish care, there is a proud storyto be told of self-reliance and communal responsibility.

this common thread through history – of caring for one another and generosity of time andmoney – is something that many sectors of british society can be rightly proud of. but you inthis room deserve particular praise. the results of your commitment to one another withinthe jewish community are obvious – the real and loving care that thousands of elderly andvulnerable people receive, among the many works that you carry out.

your care for one another has another, less tangible value. during a year when many in thejewish community have had cause to feel under threat, for no reason other than simply thefact of your jewishness, your unity is all the more precious. your commitment and loyalty toone another, and to society more widely, is ultimately what keeps you strong.

i was reminded before i came here tonight that an ancestor of mine, a previous duke ofcambridge in fact, visited the great synagogue in london in 1809 and attended a sabbathservice there with his brothers.

it is a matter of great pride that these bonds in our society run as deep as they run long.

your care for one another is not just a feeling, but it is – as we are reminded tonight – amaterial fact. i know that jewish care is viewed as a leader in the social care field and uses itsknowledge, expertise and experience to engage in the debate on high-quality care, especiallyin relation to dementia.

your holocaust survivors centre is a second home for many people who were liberated 70 yearsago from those evil places.

all of you in this room, in some way, play your part in making all this happen through thisoutstanding organisation. through your generosity and commitment, i am sure jewish carewill continue to thrive and grow for the next 25 years.

once again, congratulations on everything you have achieved. i wish you a wonderful eveningand a happy birthday.

mazel tov.

第3篇 诺贝尔物理学奖得主中村修二在颁奖晚宴演讲稿

your majesty,royal highnesses,ladies and gentlemen,colleagues and friends:

on behalf of my co-recipients, professor isamu akasaki and professor hiroshi amano, i wouldlike to thank the members of the nobel prize selection committee, and members of the swedishroyal academy of science for honouring our invention of the efficient blue-light emittingdiodes (led) which has enabled bright and energy-savings white light sources.

alfred nobel wanted his prize to be awarded based on an invention or discovery in physics that“during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind”. therefore,we are deeply honoured that the dream of led lighting has now become a reality, and isgreatly benefiting mankind.

nowadays we can buy energy efficient led light bulbs at the supermarket and help reduceenergy use. led lighting is 10 times more efficient than conventional incandescent lampso we can drastically reduce energy consumption. i believe that led lighting can also reduceglobal warming too.

in addition, by combining led with solar cell we can give sustainable lighting to the 1.5 billionpeople without electricity that’s cost effective, clean, and safe – truly lighting the world.

my colleague at ucsb, and physics nobel laureate in 2019, professor herbert kromer saidabout led lighting: “we are not just talking about doing things better, but about doing thingswe never could before. you have forvever changed the world, now every person can experienceled lighting”.

if i can tell you a little story of encouragement…when we began work on the blue led in the1980s, we were told again and again that what we were trying to do was impossible.

still, we persevered, working hard for many hours and years to develop this new technology.

after the breakthroughs in making the bright blue led by professors akasaki, amano andmyself, an explosion of research activity occurred. thousands of researchers joined the fieldand applied the led to many fields such as mobile phone screens, led television, and ledlighting.

along with professor isamu akasaki and professor hiroshi amano, i would like to thank theswedish royal academy again for awarded this prize to our invention of blue led and energyefficient led lights. i would also like to thank all my colleagues at nichia and ucsb and myfamily for letting me work so hard.

today, i hope that everyone can now use efficient and led lighting to save energy!

thank you! (tack)

第4篇 诺贝尔经济学奖得主梯若尔在颁奖晚宴演讲稿

your majesties,your royal highnesses,ladies and gentlemen,

the great economist john maynard keynes once wrote: “if economists could manage to getthemselves thought of as humble, competent people on a level with dentists, that would besplendid.”

83 years and much research later, we would perhaps aspire to be compared with“meteorologists” or “doctors”, whose scientific accomplishments have been truly outstandingand yet have to face challenges that are rather down-to-earth. our failure to foresee orprevent the financial crisis is a sore reminder of the dangers of hubris. true enough, we hadworked on most of its ingredients. but like a virus that keeps mutating, new dangers emergedwhen we thought we had understood and avoided the existing ones.

the need to be humble applies also to the field that was rewarded by the prize. recognizingthat industries are different from each other and evolve rapidly, researchers in industrialorganization have patiently built a body of knowledge that has helped regulators to betterunderstand market power and the effects of policy interventions, and helped firms toformulate their strategies. they have thereby contributed to making this world a better world,the economist’s first mission. yet, there is so much we still have to learn, and the world changesfaster than our understanding can keep up.

humility is not easy to preserve when receiving such a prestigious award. albert camus in hisacceptance speech wondered how he, rich only in his doubts and his work still in progress,could cope with being at the center of a glaring light. his answer was that he could not livewithout his art. the great french scientist henri poincaré described the unmatched pleasure ofdiscovery: “thought is only a flash in the middle of a long night. but this flash meanseverything.”

wisdom therefore encourages me to return as soon as possible to my lab, to the colleagues towhom i am indebted for the prize, in short to the wonderful life of a researcher. but i shall beprofoundly and permanently grateful to the committee for the immense honor it hasbestowed upon me, and to the nobel foundation and sweden for their astounding mission ofdrawing attention to science year after year.

第5篇 诺贝尔生理学奖得主约翰·奥基夫在颁奖晚宴上英语演讲稿

your majesties,your royal highnesses,your excellencies,ladies and gentlemen

on behalf of my colleagues may-britt and edvard moser, and myself, i would like to express ourgratitude to the nobel foundation for hosting this magnificent banquet. i would also like toexpress our gratitude to the nobel committee and assembly for deeming our research worthyof this distinguished accolade. i think it’s fair to say that the nobel prize is the highest honorany scientist or artist can achieve. we are pleased and delighted.

we see the awards as a recognition not only of ourselves and our accomplishments but also ofour collaborators in the study of the spatial functions of the hippocampus, and our colleagues inthe wider field of cognitive and behavioural neuroscience. cognitive neuroscience is entering anexciting era in which new technologies and ideas are making it possible to study the neuralbasis of cognition, perception, memory and emotion at the level of networks of interactingneurons, the level at which we believe many of the important operations of the brain take place.we know a considerable amount about how individual neurons work and how two cells cancommunicate with each other but the way in which entire networks of hundreds andthousands of neurons cooperate, interact with each other, and are orchestrated to create ourideas and concepts is an underexplored area of neuroscience. it is probably at this level thatnetwork failure occurs and leads to some of our most disturbing and intractable diseases ofthe mind and brain.

this new area of neuroscience has been made possible by the development of new optical,computer-based electronic, and molecular biological tools which will allow us tomonitor theactivity of many thousands of cells simultaneously and to manipulate their activity. we willmove from looking at correlations between brain activity and behaviour to studying how thebrain causes mental states and behaviour. it is fitting therefore that our fellow laureates thisyear in physics and chemistry are world’s leaders in providing us with some of these tools. weare eager to begin to use some of the laser-based optical techniques being developed by ourchemistry co- laureates.

we are also pleased to be receiving the prize with laureates from so many different countries.science is the quintessential international endeavour and the sterling reputation of the nobelawards is partly due to the widely-perceived lack of national and other biases in the selection ofthe laureates. we believe that the future great contributions to our understanding of thebiological and physical world can come from citizens of any country in any part of the world. it isto the credit of the nobel committees that they have steadfastly endeavoured to follow alfrednobel’s wishes that the prizes recognise contributions to the welfare of humanity regardless ofcountry of origin, gender, race or religious affiliation.

i want to end by recognising and thanking our many collaborators and colleagues toonumerous to mention in this short speech, our universities, ucl and ntnu, and our generousfunders.

thank you for your attention. tack.

第6篇 凯特王妃在英国国家肖像馆肖像慈善晚宴英语演讲稿

i just wanted to say how delighted i am to be here this evening to celebrate the fantastic work of the national portrait gallery.

the gallery’s achievements are exceptional. they hold the most extensive collection ofportraits in the world, and their unique and brilliant exhibitions never fail to inspire us all.

but, it is more than simply a world renowned visitor’s attraction – the gallery’s outreach andresearch programmes makes it one of the leading centres for the important study intoportraiture.

i simply could not be more proud to be its patron.

thank you for being here tonight and showing your support. i hope that you all have awonderful evening.
