诚信英语演讲稿：Honesty
Ladies and Gentlemen:
My topic is Honesty. As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story.
65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.
In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth.
He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his consience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 2002, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome.
When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.
Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character.
Thank you.

女士们，先生们：我演讲的题目是“诚实”。
作为“青岛早报”的小记者，我采访了英国马可•波罗国际研究委员会总裁詹姆斯•吉尔曼博士。请看这张照片，这位是詹姆斯，这是我，我们正在看一颗“龙牙”。这是一个真实的故事：
65年前，詹姆斯一家住在青岛，当时他只有5岁。他经常去青岛水族馆，那儿陈列的一个巨大的生物标本使他着迷。他认为那是一条“龙”，他既惧怕又喜欢它锋利的牙齿，想拥有一颗作为宝贝来珍藏。
上个世纪30年代末，当日本人开始侵占青岛的时候，他们家不得不离开青岛返回英国。在青岛的最后一天，他跑到水族馆，从“龙” 的`嘴里拔出了一颗“龙牙”。
他将这颗“龙牙”珍藏了65年。但是，由于“偷”了这颗“龙牙”，负罪的感觉一直伴随着他，他的良心时时受到谴责，年老后尤为强烈。最后，他决定要改正儿时的错误。2002年，他访问了青岛，带着真诚的道歉将这颗“龙牙”交还给了青岛水族馆，他受到了热烈的欢迎。
詹姆斯访问青岛，我一直作为翻译陪同并报道他的访问。我被他的诚实精神深深地打动了,从詹姆斯身上，我学到了很多。我想，人都会犯错误，重要的是有勇气承认和改正错误。
诚实是人们行为的重要品质，所以，我们应该以诚实的态度去说和做每一件事情。我要对我的朋友们说：让我们都来做具有高尚道德品质的诚实的人。
谢谢。
