附演讲稿：

The speech was as follows:

同学们，我想问大家几个问题：清晨醒来，看到你的爸爸妈妈，你有没有微笑地问候一句“妈妈好”或“爸爸好”？上学路上，遇到朋友同学，你有没有真诚招呼“你好”？临睡觉前，你有没有向辛劳了一天的父母道一声“晚安”？……

I would like to ask a few questions first - do you smile to your parents every morning and greet them good morning? do you say hi to your friends on your way to school? do you say good night to your parents who have worked all day before sleep?

今年的11月21日是世界第48个问候日。在这一天，世界各地的人们无论种族、国籍都不约而同地倡导礼貌待人，温暖你我他。

The 21st November this year was the 48th World Hello Day. On this day, everyone had the consensus to treat others nicely across the world regardless of their race and nationality.

问候是什么？问候是最基本的礼仪，可以是一个温暖的微笑，可以是一句朗声的问好，也可以是一个善意的目光。虽然只是一句简单的问好，却能给我们带来一种非常真实的幸福感。

What are greetings? It is about the basic manners - a simple smile, say hi or kind look. Despite being simple, it gives us a sense of happiness.

当你播下了文明礼仪的种子，这颗种子就在大家的温暖中慢慢长大，礼貌的鲜花便会越开越多，越开越美丽。一声轻轻的问候，一丝淡淡的微笑，就是一朵文明礼仪的花朵，可以使我们的校园更加充满爱与温暖。

As you sow the seed of civility, everyone will begin to feel it and spread it - greetings can make our campus full of love and warmth.

让问候成为一种习惯，让问候化为一丝温暖。日常生活中的一声问候，对一般人来说是锦上添花的美好，而对处于困难的人来说，更是雪中送炭的善行。

Make saying greetings a habit to give warmth to others - it means nice things to ordinary people, but a much needed help to someone in need.

问候虽短，却句句温暖。伤心难过的时候，失意烦闷的时候，轻轻的一声问候，足以让我们的心灵峰回路转，春暖花开。

Greetings are touching despite they are small words. When we feel down, greetings can cheer us up.

中国素有“礼仪之邦”的美誉。孔子曰：“不学礼，无以立。”意思是说，一个人不懂得礼仪，就无法修身立命，立足于社会。所以，问候虽小，意义却大。人与人之间看似寻常的一声问候，不仅是一个人道德修养的表现，也是一个人安身立命之本。

China is knowned for its manners. Confucius once said, 'Manners maketh the man,' a man cannot live in the society without manners. Hence greetings mean a lot despite being insignificant or typical - it reflects your manners but it is the key element for you to settle down in society.

同学们，行动起来吧！不要吝啬问候的话语，让它成为我们生活的习惯，让温暖的问候充满这美好的世界！

Guys, Let's take actions to embrace the world with greetings.
