尊敬的老师、亲爱的同学们：

Dear teachers and classmates,

大家好，我是初二（6）班的刘禹成。今天，我国旗下演讲的主题是《菊花香溢满重阳，敬老情深暖人心》。
Hello, everyone. I am Liang Mengfan from Class Six, Grade Eight.Today, the topic of my speech is "Chrysanthemum Fragrance fills the Double Ninth Festival, deep respect for the elderly warms the heart".

重阳节早在战国时期就有雏形，因为数字“九”代表着“阳”，而九月初九则是双阳相重，因此产生重阳节。后来人们因为“九”和长久的“久”同音，又联想到长久长寿，重阳节也就变成一个老人节，一个敬老、爱老的日子。
The Double Ninth Festival began in the Warring States Time, as the number "nine" stands for "yang", and the ninth day of September is the day when the two "yang" coincide, so the Double Ninth Festival came into being. Later, because of the homonym of "nine" and "long", people associate it with longevity, and the Double Ninth Festival has become a day for the elderly, a day for respecting and loving the elderly.
如果说童年是一幅画，少年是一个梦，青年是一首诗，中年是一篇散文，那么老年人则是一道清风，一面旗帜，更是一部历史……在过去的日子里，老人们为社会的进步洒下了辛勤的汗水，做出了无私的奉献，为家庭呕心沥血，任劳任怨，为国家付出了他们的一切……
If childhood is a painting, adolescence is a dream, youth is a poem, and middle age is a prose, then old age is a breeze, a banner , and even a history... In the past days, the elderly have worked hard for the progress of society, made selfless contributions, devoted themselves to their families, worked tirelessly, and paid everything for the country...

敬老是中华民族的传统美德。古往今来,我们有许多敬老爱老的故事:古有木兰代父从军、黄香扇枕温席的佳话；近有陈毅探母等感人肺腑、润人胸襟的故事。今天,我们作为国家未来的主人,传承和发扬这宝贵精神财富，责无旁贷。
Respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Throughout the ages, we have many stories about respecting and loving the elderly: in ancient times, there were stories about Mulan taking her father's place in the army and Huang Xiang making a warm bed; in recent times, there are touching stories about Chen Yi's visit to his mother and others that touch people's hearts and enrich their minds.Today, as the future masters of the country, we have a responsibility to inherit and carry forward this precious spiritual wealth.
可是，现实生活中,我却曾目睹很不和谐的画面。曾经，我看到公交车司机对站牌下的老人视若无睹，一脚油门，飞驰而过，仅仅因为老人们拿的是免费乘车卡 ；而在疫情期间，我们也时有耳闻，没有智能手机的老人们因无法因使用健康码而被迫下车或被阻挡在门外的新闻……这是多么让人愤怒和心寒的一幕啊！我们不应该让时代的建设者，在老了之后却被时代抛弃。
However, in real life, I saw very disharmonious scenes. Once, I saw a bus driver turn a blind eye to the elderly under the bus stop and speed past them, just because they were holding free ride cards;during the epidemic, we have also heard news that elderly people without smart phones were forced to get off the bus or blocked outside the door because they could not use the health code... What an angry and chilling scene! We should not let the builders of the times be abandoned by the times when they are old.

尊老爱老，不能只喊口号,也不能只停留在倡议书上，更不能止于国旗下的一次演讲。
Respecting and loving the elderly cannot be limited to slogans, proposals, or a speech under the national flag.
尊敬老人，先从尊重自家的长辈做起。伴随着我们的长大,他们的乌丝变白发,身形渐憔悴。面对这些奉献自己成就儿女的老人们，我们应该悉心关怀。也许在生活中的一句真心问候，就能给老人们增添一份天伦之乐，一件微不足道的小事，也可能成为他们回味很久的幸福。
To respect the elderly, we should start with respecting our own elders. As we grow up, their black hair turns white and their bodies became haggard. In the face of these elderly people who have dedicated themselves to their children, we should take good care of them.Perhaps a sincere greeting in life can add happiness to the elderly, and a trivial thing may also become their happiness for a long time.
孟子说过，老吾老以及人之老。我们不仅要关心家中的老人，还要关心社会上的老人。我们今天的幸福生活离不开老一辈人的艰苦奋斗,离不开他们的无私奉献，何况目前,中国已经步入老龄化社会,进一步倡导敬老爱老也是尽社会责任。
Mencius once said, "Take care of your own elders as well as the elders of others." We should not only care for the elderly at home, but also care for the elderly in society. Our happy life today cannot be separated from the hard work and selfless dedication of the older generation. Moreover, China has entered an aging society, and further advocating respect and love for the elderly is also the responsibility of the society.

“花无重开日，人无再少年。”总有一天我们也会变老，尊重老年人，是尊重中华民族的光荣传统,也是尊重我们自己。敬老爱老,我们义不容辞。
"Flowers never bloom again, and no one is young again." One day we will also grow old. To respect the elderly is to respect the glorious tradition of the Chinese nation and ourselves. It’s our duty to respect and love the elderly.
又到重阳佳节,让我们行动起来吧。抽出一些时间，给家里的长辈们打个电话，致以节日的问候，感谢他们为我们所做的一切。当然,这并不是重阳节一天的事，平日我们可以多陪他们聊聊天、做做事，表达自己对他们的爱，同时也要向社区的爷爷奶奶伸出关爱、帮扶之手。
It's the Double Ninth Festival again. Let's take action.Take some time to call the elders in the family, give them a holiday greeting and thank them for all they have done for us. Of course, this is not just a matter of one day on the Double Ninth Festival. On weekdays, we can spend more time with them, chat and do things, express our love for them. And at the same time, we should extend our care and help to the grandparents in the community.
岁岁重阳，今又重阳，一年最好，偏是重阳。在这秋风飒爽的季节,让我们共同祝愿天下所有的老人都能幸福安康、“老有所乐”！
Every year there is a Double Ninth Festival, and now there is a Double Ninth Festival. The best of the year is the Double Ninth Festival.In this cool autumn season, let us wish all the elderly in the world can be happy and healthy, "happy old age"!
我的演讲到此结束，谢谢！
