Good afternoon! Ladies and gentlemen!

I am very happy to have the opportunity to attend this Competition.

My topic today is “Never Say Sorry Again!”

Do you feel sorry for the animals that are killed by the millions every day?

Do we really need to kill animals?

Let us now think of the reasons for using dead animals. People often use animals for food, make-up, medicine and especially for the clothes. Fur coats are definitely a luxury. Yes, they are warm but really they are mostly a symbol of wealth. Do you know how much a mink coat cost?

A report said in an open letter published recently, a Dutch animal-rights group has asked their much-loved Queen to stop wearing fur. The Group pointed out that making clothing from fur represents cruelty to animals. “ Fur belongs to animals, not to human beings.”

Nowadays a lot of greedy people hunt and kill wild animals and birds, so as to make money by selling their hides at high prices. This kind of killing should be stopped and seriously punished. If we don't take actions to protect the wild animals and birds, they will soon disappear from the globe. Man will one day find himself a very lonely creature on earth indeed.

Until such a day, when we finally realized that we no longer have these friends or neighbors, what are we human beings going to say? Sorry? No, it is too late to say sorry to them.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please consider what I have said to you this afternoon. Think carefully on whether we really need to use animals for our pleasure if you have come to the conclusion that we are wrong. Then we should now change our attitude so that we never say sorry again to the animal population.

Thank you!

女士們，先生們！下午好：

我非常高興能夠有機(jī)會參加這次比賽。

今天我演講的題目是“不要再說sorry”.

你對那些每天都被數(shù)以萬計被獵殺的動物而感到sorry嗎？

我們真的需要獵殺動物嗎？

現(xiàn)在我們來想一想人類為什么要獵殺動物。人們經(jīng)常用動物做一些食物，藥物，化妝品，特別是做衣服。皮毛大衣的確非常昂貴。是的，他們很暖和，并且它們確實是財富的象征，你知道一件貂皮大衣的價錢嗎？

荷蘭的一個動物權(quán)利組織在一封公開信上要求他們愛戴的女王不要穿裘皮大衣了。她的臣民認(rèn)為穿裘皮大衣代表了對動物的殘忍，皮毛屬于動物，并不屬于人類。

現(xiàn)在許多貪得無厭的人獵殺野生動物和飛禽，高價出售它們的皮毛來牟取暴利。這種獵殺必須得到停止并且受到嚴(yán)厲的制裁。如果我們還不采取行動來保護(hù)這些野生動物和飛禽，它們不久就會從地球上消失。終有一天人類會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己竟成了地球上一種實在孤獨的生物。

直到那一天，當(dāng)我們最終察覺人類再也不會有這些朋友或者鄰居時，我們還將說些什么呢？Sorry?不，說sorry已經(jīng)太遲了。

女士們，先生們，請認(rèn)真思考一下今天下午我所對你們說的一切。請務(wù)必認(rèn)真的想一想，我們是不是真的需要為了滿足自己的欲望來獵殺動物？如果你們有這樣錯誤的想法，那么現(xiàn)在就應(yīng)該改變態(tài)度，使我們不再對動物說：“Sorry!”

謝謝！
