构思很好,很有说服力,所以才为好的英文奠定了基础。我花了一个半小时整理出来,远远超过了我的预想时间。我用了押韵的词结尾,以产生轰动效应。另外,“精神文化”千万不要改译成“spiritual culture”,否则在英语里面就是指宗教文化了。
今后请留意,英文的标点符号后面往往是要空一格的。同时也请注意为什么要对原有的英文作或大或小的修改。Good luck with your presentation!

I'm honored to give you the daily talk for the second time.
Well, when you do your homework until midnight and feel so tired, do you want to have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself? Coffee is an essential drink in people's daily lives. It is not only students' favourite drink, but workers' favourite as well. .So today, I will present you a popular coffee house——do you know, what brand name does this logo stand fort?
Yes, it's the trademark of Starbucks. I'm a Starbucks fan, too. You must have been to a Starbucks coffee house at least once or twice, but have you ever had a close-up view of the trademark of Starbucks? In fact, the green mark of Starbuck is a sea-goddess image of a twin-tail mermaid. This logo was designed by Terry Herklor in 1971. He got the inspiration from a sea-god painting done in the Middle Ages.………….When this trademark was created for Starbucks 20 years ago, there was only one single coffee house. But now, the graceful green mermaid and the M of Macdonald’s have together become the symbols of American culture.
The reason for Starbucks' popularity is its quality coffee. More than that in China--it is also the embodiment of a bourgeois venue for social gatherings. Indeed, Starbucks’ name, environment, music, coffee and ambience all give people a very pleasant feeling, without exception. They enable city ladies to always take Starbucks as their sentimental home, with tasting coffee becoming a secondary consideration. That gives rise to the question: Does drinking coffee at Starbucks really make people feel romantic?
I don’t think it's true. We have to admit that the leaders of Starbucks were so clever that they chose China to develop their business, as it produces for them handsome profits. An auntie of mine who had been to the United States before told me that Starbucks are found everywhere in the United States, but that alongside the colourful stores, malls and restaurants, the green logo of Starbucks does not standout. In addition, the coffee houses are different from those you find in China. Most houses don’t look luxurious but are small and efficient; they are not fully packed but half empty; they are not chic but simple; the people there regard Starbucks as a place for ordinary people, not just for white-collar workers. This description took me by surprise! Why is the Starbucks that’s so popular in China so low-key and simple in America? In the final analysis, it all has to do with the cultural and economic difference between our two countries. The steadfast pursuit of sentiments precisely reflects the lack of them. In China, a country with too many responsibilities and obligations, too much fatigue and hurry, people’s intrinsic warm feelings have been suppressed by life. Finally, when they arrived at the 21st century, people who were able to catch their breath saw the lifestyle of the western world and mental pleasure it brought. Naturally, this pleasure has been exaggerated indefinitely.
As I see it, using this argument to explain whey the Chinese associate Starbucks with sentiments makes most sense and is the most easily understandable. In different cities of various countries, you see the same green logo of Starbucks and, indeed, it looks so friendly and familiar. However, that after all is not a colour that belongs to all countries, but the United States solely. I am a Starbucks fan, and I will surely visit Starbucks when I am in a good mood. Of course I love the fact that it has the “sentiment” factor. But what I love the most is the fact that the Starbucks ambience allows me to generate ideas, and the warmth and joy there. To my mind, only when your love for Starbucks is elevated from loving it per se to loving its spirit and culture, then that is true love. Then, Our purpose in visiting Starbucks is no longer purely for drinking a mere cup of coffee, but rather hoping to share with friends, passing on our joys, keeping the good weekend in the cozy house and cementing all our good feelings in a cup of coffee.
To conclude, I very much look forward to the day when a Chinese teahouse of a certain brand name is found throughout the world, when fashion magazines read: “Go and drink tea. How romantic it would be!”
Thank you for watching!
