小计划帮你实现大目标

——Google工程师Matt Cutts在TED的励志演讲稿

A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut, so I decided to follow in the footsteps of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new for 30 days. The idea is actually pretty simple. Think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days. It turns out, 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit — like watching the news — from your life.

几年前, 我感觉对老一套感到枯燥乏味, 所以我决定追随伟大的美国哲学家摩根·斯普尔洛克的脚步,尝试做新事情30天。这个想法的确是非常简单。考虑下,你常想在你生命中做的一些事情 接下来30天尝试做这些。 这就是,30天刚好是这么一段合适的时间 去养成一个新的习惯或者改掉一个习惯——例如看新闻——在你生活中。

There’s a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges. The first was, instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable. This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture everyday for a month. And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day. I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew. I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work — for fun. Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.

当我在30天做这些挑战性事情时,我学到以下一些事。第一件事是,取代了飞逝而过易被遗忘的岁月的是 这段时间非常的更加令人难忘。挑战的一部分是要一个月内每天我要去拍摄一张照片。我清楚地记得那一天我所处的位置我都在干什么。我也注意到随着我开始做更多的,更难的30天里具有挑战性的事时,我自信心也增强了。我从一个台式计算机宅男极客变成了一个爱骑自行车去工作的人——为了玩乐。甚至去年,我完成了在非洲最高山峰乞力马扎罗山的远足。在我开始这30天做挑战性的事之前我从来没有这样热爱冒险过。

I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days. Have you ever wanted to write a novel? Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000 word novel from scratch in 30 days. It turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did. By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you’ve written your words for the day. You might be sleep-deprived, but you’ll finish your novel. Now is my book the next great American novel? No. I wrote it in a month. It’s awful. But for the rest of my life, if I meet John Hodgman at a TED party, I don’t have to say, “I’m a computer scientist.” No, no, if I want to I can say, “I’m a novelist.”

我也认识到如果你真想一些槽糕透顶的事,你可以在30天里做这些事。你曾想写小说吗?每年11月,数以万计的人们在30天里,从零起点尝试写他们自己的5万字小说。这结果就是,你所要去做的事就是每天写1667个字要写一个月。所以我做到了。顺便说一下,秘密在于除非在一天里你已经写完了1667个字,要不你就甭想睡觉。你可能被剥夺睡眠,但你将会完成你的小说。那么我写的书会是下一部伟大的美国小说吗?不是的。我在一个月内写完它。它看上去太可怕了。但在我的余生,如果我在一个TED聚会上遇见约翰·霍奇曼,我不必开口说,“我是一个电脑科学家。”不,不会的,如果我愿意我可以说,“我是一个小说家。”

So here’s one last thing I’d like to mention. I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing, they were more likely to stick. There’s nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. In fact, they’re a ton of fun. But they’re less likely to stick. When I gave up sugar for 30 days, day 31 looked like this.

我这儿想提的最后一件事。当我做些小的、持续性的变化,我可以不断尝试做的事时,我学到我可以把它们更容易地坚持做下来。这和又大又疯狂的具有挑战性的事情无关。事实上,它们的乐趣无穷。但是,它们就不太可能坚持做下来。当我在30天里拒绝吃糖果,31天后看上去就像这样。

So here’s my question to you: What are you waiting for? I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days.

所以我给大家提的问题是:大家还在等什么呀?我保准大家在未来的30天定会经历你喜欢或者不喜欢的事,那么为什么不考虑一些你常想做的尝试并在未来30天里试试给自己一个机会。

Thanks. 谢谢。

Matt Cutts简介:

ted演讲演讲稿范文第2篇

“Be Crazy about sneakers.”————Feedback Almost every basketball fan is dreaming about getting one pair of sneakers of famous brands, like Air Jordan series. Many of them are constantly dedicated to their collections of various sneakers.

But through the speaker’s ideas, a clear marketing network emerged, which was seemingly invisible before. All of us who are fond of collecting limited-edition shoes may not realize that we are part of the market itself, although it isn’t a market at all. This is incredible, but it really exists. Basketball fans are enthusiastic about their beloved stars, and the sneakers endorsed by stars are to support their craze, which means a brilliant commercial opportunity to shoes’ industry. And the brand Nike was one of the biggest owners of profits from its sneakers, it is still earning money from us, and it will be as long as the devotion to basketball stars don’t fade away. In short, the intangible beneficial network is a successful example for sports industry. But what if they improve their commercial system? There will be more profits. Anyway, we can learn a lot from this and utilize what we got.

恩,事实上,我希望能再待久一点。我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。(掌声)这段时间里,我看到了很多变化。现在这份数据是挺吓人的,而我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的朋友,她在阿布达比教成人英语。在一个晴朗的日子里,她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。但最后却变成是她在学习所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些植物是如何被用作药材,化妆品,烹饪,香草。这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢?当然是从他们的祖父母,甚至曾祖父母那里得来的。不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。

but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate. a language dies every 14 days. now, at the same time, english is the undisputed global language. could there be a connection? well i dont know. but i do know that ive seen a lot of changes. when i first came out to the gulf, i came to kuwait in the days when it was still a hardship post. actually, not that long ago. that is a little bit too early. but nevertheless, i was recruited by the british council along with about 25 other teachers. and we were the first non-muslims to teach in the state schools there in kuwait. we were brought to teach english because the government wanted to modernize the country and empower the citizens through education. and of course, the u.k. benefited from some of that lovely oil wealth. 但遗憾的是,今天很多语言正在以前所未有的速度消失。每14天就有一种语言消失,而与此同时,英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。这其中有关联吗?我不知道。但我知道的是,我见证过许多改变。初次来到海湾地区时,我去了科威特。当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。其实,没有那么久啦,这有点太久以前了。总之,我和其他25位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师,在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语,是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然,英国也能得到些好处,产油国可是很有钱的。 okay. now this is the major change that ive seen -- how teaching english has morphed from being a mutually english-speaking nation on earth. and why not? after all, the best education -- according to the latest world university rankings -- is to be found in the universities of the u.k. and the u.s. so everybody wants to have an english education, naturally. but if youre not a native speaker, you have to pass a test. 言归正传,我见过最大的改变,就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科,也不再只是英国的专利。英语(教学)已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。何乐而不为呢?毕竟,最好的教育来自于最好的大学,而根据最新的世界大学排名,那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育,但如果你不是以英文为母语,你就要通过考试。 now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability well, i dont think so. we english teachers reject them all the time. we put a stop sign, and we stop them in their tracks. they cant pursue their dream any longer, till they get english. now let me put it this way, if i met a dutch speaker who had the cure for cancer, would i stop him from entering my british university? i dont think so. but indeed, that is exactly what we do. we english teachers are the gatekeepers. and you have to satisfy us first that your english is good enough. now it can be dangerous to give too much power to a narrow segment of society. maybe the barrier would be too universal. 但仅凭语言能力就拒绝学生这样对吗?譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学家,但他会需要有和律师一样的语言能力吗?我不这么认为。但身为英语老师的我们,却总是拒绝他们。我们处处设限,将学生挡在路上,使他们无法再追求自己的梦想,直到他们通过考试。现在容我换一个方式说,如果我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人,而这个人能治愈癌症,我会阻止他进入我的英国大学吗?我想不会。但事实上,我们的确在做这种事。我们这些英语老师就是把关的。你必须先让我们满意,使我们认定你的英文够好。但这可能是危险的。把太多的权力交由这么小的一群人把持,也许会令这种障碍太过普及。

okay. but, i hear you say, what about the research? its all in english. so the books are in english, the journals are done in english, but that is a self-fulfilling . it feeds the english requirement. and so it goes on. i ask you, what happened to translation? if you think about the islamic 于是,我听到你们问但是研究呢?研究报告都要用英文。”的确,研究论著和期刊都要用英文发表,但这只是一种理所当然的现象。有英语要求,自然就有英语供给,然后就这么循环下去。我倒想问问大家,为什么不用翻译呢?想想伊斯兰的黄金时代,当时翻译盛行,人们把拉丁文和希腊文翻译成阿拉伯文或波斯文,然后再由拉伯文或波斯文翻译为欧洲的日耳曼语言以及罗曼语言。于是文明照亮了欧洲的黑暗时代。但不要误会我的意思,我不是反对英语教学或是在座所有的英语老师。我很高兴我们有一个全球性的语言,这在今日尤为重要。但我反对用英语设立障碍。难道我们真希望世界上只剩下600种语言,其中又以英文或中文为主流吗?我们需要的不只如此。那么我们该如何拿捏呢?这个体制把智能和英语能力画上等号这是相当武断的。

and i want to remind you that the giants upon whose shoulders todays stand did not have to have english, they didnt have to pass an english test. case in point, einstein. he, by the way, was considered remedial at school because he was, in fact, dyslexic. but fortunately for the world, he did not have to pass an english test. because they didnt start until 1964 with toefl, the american test of english. now its exploded. there are lots and lots of tests of english. and millions and millions of students take these tests every year. now you might think, you and me, those fees arent bad, theyre okay, but they are prohibitive to so many millions of poor people. so immediately, were rejecting them. 我想要提醒你们,扶持当代知识分子的这些“巨人肩膀不必非得具有英文能力,他们不需要通过英语考试。爱因斯坦就是典型的例子。顺便说一下,他在学校还曾被认为需要课外补习,因为他其实有阅读障碍。但对整个世界来说,很幸运的当时他不需要通过英语考试,因为他们直到1964年才开始使用托福。现在英语测验太泛滥了,有太多太多的英语测验,以及成千上万的学生每年都在参加这些考试。现在你会认为,你和我都这么想,这些费用不贵,价钱满合理的。但是对数百万的穷人来说,这些费用高不可攀。所以,当下我们又拒绝了他们。 it brings to mind a headline i saw recently: education: the great divide. now i get it, i understand why people would focus on english. they want to give their children the best chance in life. and to do that, they need a western education. because, of course, the best jobs go to people out of the western universities, that i put on earlier. its a circular thing. 这使我想起最近看到的一个新闻标题:“教育:大鸿沟”现在我懂了。我了解为什么大家都重视英语,因为他们希望给孩子最好的人生机会。为了达成这目的,他们需要西方教育。毕竟,不可否认,最好的工作都留给那些西方大学毕业出来的人。就像我之前说的,这是一种循环。

okay. let me tell you a story about two scientists, two english scientists. they were doing an experiment to do with genetics and the forelimbs and the hind limbs of animals. but they couldnt get the results they wanted. they really didnt know what to do, until along came a german scientist who realized that they were using two words for forelimb and hind limb, whereas genetics does not differentiate and neither does german. so bingo, problem solved. if you cant think a thought, you are stuck. but if another language can think that thought, then, by cooperating, we can achieve and learn so much more. 好,我跟你们说一个关于两位科学家的故事:有两位英国科学家在做一项实验,是关于遗传学的,以及动物的前、后肢。但他们无法得到他们想要的结果。他们真的不知道该怎么办,直到来了一位德国的科学家。他发现在英文里前肢和后肢是不同的二个字,但在遗传学上没有区别。在德语也是同一个字。所以,叮!问题解决了。如果你不能想到一个念头,你会卡在那里。但如果另一个语言能想到那念头,然后通过合作我们可以达成目的,也学到更多。

我的女儿从科威特来到英格兰,她在阿拉伯的学校学习科学和数学。那是所阿拉伯中学。在学校里,她得把这些知识翻译成英文,而她在班上却能在这些学科上拿到最好的成绩。这告诉我们,当外籍学生来找我们,我们可能无法针对他们所知道的给予赞赏,因为那是来自于他们母语的知识。当一个语言消失时,我们不知道还有什么也会一并失去。

this is -- i dont know if you saw it on cnn recently -- they gave the heroes award to a young kenyan shepherd boy who couldnt study at night in his village like all the village children,篇二:杨澜ted演讲稿中英文 yang lan: the generation thats remaking china the night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final of chinas got talent show in shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. guess who was the performing guest?susan boyle. and i told her, im going to scotland the next day. she sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in chinese. [chinese]so its not like hello or thank you, that ordinary stuff. it means green onion for free. why did she say that? because it was a line from our chinese parallel susan boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in shanghai, who loves singing western opera, but she didnt understand any english or french or italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in chinese. (laughter) and the last sentence of nessun dorma that she was singing in the stadium was green onion for free. so [as] susan boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. that was hilarious. so i guess both susan boyle and this vegetable vendor in shanghai belonged to otherness. they were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. and a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. well, being different is not that difficult. we are all different from different perspectives. but i think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. you may have the chance to make a difference. my generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of china that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. i remember that in the year of 1990,when i was graduating from college, i was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in beijing, great wall sheraton -- its still there. so after being interrogated by this japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, so, miss yang, do you have any questions to ask me?i summoned my courage and poise and said,yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell? i didnt have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel. my life, and i feel proud of that. but then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country. i was in beijings bidding for the olympic games. i was representing the shanghai expo. i saw china embracing the world and vice versa. but then sometimes im thinking, what are todays young generation up to? how are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of china, or at large, the world? so making a living is not that easy for young people. college graduates are not in short supply.in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. so what do they do? they have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves tribe of ants. and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. that ratio in americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china its 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price. so through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about. social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.for the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.and it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation. sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest. so when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this. so the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court. similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the internet. we heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food. and guess what, we have faked beef. they have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.and then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop. so all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the internet. and fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns. while young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes theyre a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life. china is soon to pass the u.s. as the number one market for luxury brands -- thats not including the chinese expenditures in europe and elsewhere. but you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 u.s. dollars. theyre not rich at all. theyre taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status. and this is a girl explicitly saying on a tv dating show that she would rather cry in a bmw than smile on a bicycle.but of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a bmw or [on] a bicycle. so happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, its about the environment. people are thinking about the following questions: are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher gdp? how are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? and also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?i guess these are the questions people are going to answer. and our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves. thank you very much. 杨澜ted演讲:重塑中国的一代 中文演讲稿

在来爱尔兰的前一晚,我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。 猜猜谁是表演嘉宾?——苏珊大妈。我告诉她,“我明天要去爱尔兰了。” 她歌声犹如天籁。而且她还可以说点中文。

“送你葱。” 这不是“你好、谢谢”之类的日常用语。这组词翻译过来是免费给你青葱,为什么她要说这个呢?因为这是我们中国版的苏珊大妈很有名的一句歌词。

这位五十几岁的大妈在上海以贩卖蔬菜为生。她喜欢西方的歌剧,但是她不懂任何外语,所以她就把中文蔬菜名填做歌词。当她在体育场里 唱到今夜无人入眠的最后一句时,她唱的是“送你葱”。苏珊大妈和全场八万观众一起唱“送你葱”,多有意思的场面。

我想苏珊大妈和这位在上海做蔬菜买卖的都属于不同寻常的人。在业界所谓的娱乐圈,他们最不可能取得成功,但是他们的勇气和才华让他们成功了。一场秀,一个平台给了他们实现梦想的舞台。

与众不同不难,从不同的角度看我们都是不一样的。我认为与众不同是好的,因为你有不同的看法,这给你机会去产生不同的影响。

我们这代人有幸见证和参与了过去二三十年中国的历史性的转型。

我记得在九十年代,刚从大学毕业的我申请了一份在北京五星级酒店销售部的工作。在日本经理一个半小时的面试后,他最后说:“杨小姐,你有什么问题要问我吗?”我鼓起勇气,定定神然后问道:“您能告诉我销售部到底销售什么?”我对于五星级酒店的销售部的职责一点都摸不着头脑。那是我在五星级酒店的第一天。

同时,我和上千名大学女生参加了一场由中国中央电视台举办的史无前例的公开选拔。制作人告诉我们他们想找一位可爱,天真,美丽的新面孔。当轮到我时,我站起来说道,“为什么女孩在电视上必须是漂亮,甜美,无邪的,像个花瓶?为什么她们不能有她们的想法,她们自己的声音?” 我想我一定得罪了评委。但是事实上,我的发言给他们留下了深刻的印象。接下来我进入了第二轮的选拔,然后是第三轮,第四轮。在经过七轮的选拔后,我胜出了。成为了一个国家电视台黄金时段节目的主持人。

不管你们相不相信,那是中国电视上第一个节目可以允许主持人自由发挥而不是去读审查后的稿子。这个节目的观众人数高达两到三千万。

几年后,我决定去美国哥伦比亚大学进修。之后我有了自己的传媒公司,这是在我刚毕业的时候想都不敢想的。

假如你要知道自己的人生该怎么走,不妨在你年轻的时候就给自己写一份讣告。这是只身划船横渡大西洋的罗兹·萨维其(Roz Savage)的做法。

Roz在还年轻的时候是在英国当管理咨询顾问,但她一直感到那不是她一生要追求的东西,因为她更喜欢当一位探险家。当她过了35岁之后,有一天给自己写了两份讣告。一份是按照自己希望过的生活形态来写的,另外一份是按照现有的生活规律来写的。写完后,Roz认真读了两份讣告,她感到假如自己是按照现有的生活方式生活下去的话,无疑会像第二份讣告里所描述的那样度过自己未来的五年、十年,乃至余生。这样的生活也很如意,但就是缺了点什么。Roz觉得第一份讣告所记述的人生才是她所认同的人生。她说,那天我看着这两份讣告,我在想,天啊,我现在走的是完全错误的道路啊。后来,她辞掉了工作,又经过一番挣扎,最后决定跳出常规思维的局限,并下决心要坐一只小船,拿着双桨划行大西洋。

也许经常看探险片的人马上会想到粗胡子大汉独自一人闯荡大海的影像。但是,Roz是一个普普通通的女子,她也不是职业探险家,更不曾有过特别的经历。但是,她还是决定试一试。

2005年,Roz出发了。非常不幸的是,她选的时间刚好是大西洋上气旋特别活跃的时期,小船出行甚为困难。另外,她所准备的4对船桨都相继折断,在茫茫的大海中,没有人能帮到她,Roz唯一能做的,就是用船上的工具把船桨修补好,继续前行。

在大海上的划行给Roz带来了巨大的心理和生理挑战,她甚至在想,以每个小时2英里的速度来划行,要到哪个牛年马月才能完成3000英里的征途?但她没有办法,只能一步一步的前进。经过103天的努力,Roz终于顺利到达彼岸。在岸上,她得到了现场诸多粉丝的热烈欢迎,她说,那种感觉就像是当上了电影明星。同时也印证了一个讲法,险阻越大,克服困难后最终得到的成果也越大。 从大西洋回来后,Roz又开始计划她的太平洋划行之旅。现在,她已经完成了太平洋旅程(约9000至10000英里)的三分之二。她回头反思,总结出大海划行给她带来的一些启示:

首先,我们给自己讲述的故事会影响我们的态度。开始时,Roz也认为只有那些粗胡子的大汉才有能力划行大海。但事实并非如此。同样道理,我们一直认为石油是比不可少的。但实际上,除了石油之外是有很多其他可持续的选择的,我们也有这样的自由意志去作出恰当的选择。

其次,是关于一点一滴的个体行动本身。我们会以外单独的个体就是大海中的一滴水,无足轻重。但正是很多人的坏决定之累计使得我们所有人走向灾难之边缘。而假如我们可以换个角度去思考,可以试想,假如每个人都能做出智慧的抉择,我们就有可能走向更可持续的未来。并且我们将会是与很多人一道来做这样的事

情,假如我们都开始做智慧的抉择,那么也许未来到超市购物使用塑料袋就会被大众认为是愚蠢的抉择。而这也仅仅是其中一个例子。

最后,整个过程都是关乎承担责任的。Roz曾一直以为只有当她有了好房子、好车、好男人之后,快乐就会自然降临到她身上。但当她写完了那两份讣告之后,她似乎懂得了一点什么。她知道自己不能被动的去等待。另一方面,即使能够活到90岁,但是,生活在一个有饥荒和干旱的地球而祈求获得快乐也是非常困难的事情,更不能指望在这样的环境下生活会让人健康长寿了。于是,Roz决定发起一个叫EcoHeroes的倡导活动,帮助人们记录生活中的环境友好行为。也许单纯换一个灯泡不能带来太多改变,但这样的精神却是拯救地球所必须的一种态度。

我是个说书之人。在这里,我想和大家分享一些我本人的故事。一些关于所谓的“单一故事的危险性”的经历。我成长在尼日利亚东部的一所大学校园里。我母亲常说我从两岁起就开始读书。不过我认为“四岁起”比较接近事实。所以我从小就开始读书,读的是英国和美国的儿童书籍。

我也是从小就开始写作,当我在七岁那年,开始强迫我可怜的母亲阅读我用铅笔写好的故事,外加上蜡笔描绘的插图时,我所写的故事正如我所读的故事那般,我故事里的人物们都是白皮肤、蓝眼睛的。常在雪中嬉戏,吃着苹果。而且他们经常讨论天气,讨论太阳出来时,一切都多么美好。我一直写着这样故事,虽然说我当时住在尼日利亚,并且从来没有出过国。虽然说我们从来没见过雪,虽然说我们实际上只能吃到芒果;虽然说我们从不讨论天气,因为根本没这个必要。

我故事里的人物们也常喝姜汁啤酒,因为我所读的那些英国书中的人物们常喝姜汁啤酒。虽然说我当时完全不知道姜汁啤酒是什么东西。时隔多年,我一直都怀揣着一个深切的渴望,想尝尝姜汁啤酒的味道。不过这要另当别论了。

这一切所表明的,正是在一个个的故事面前,我们是何等的脆弱,何等的易受影响,尤其当我们还是孩子的时候,因为我当时读的所有书中只有外国人物,我因而坚信:书要想被称为书,就必须有外国人在里面,就必须是关于我无法亲身体验的事情,而这一切都在我接触了非洲书籍之后发生了改变。当时非洲书并不多,而且他们也不像国外书籍那样好找。 不过因为!和!之类的作家,我思维中对于文学的概念,产生了质的改变。我意识到像我这样的人---有着巧克力般的肤色和永远无法梳成马尾辫的卷曲头发的女孩们,也可以出现在文学作品中。

我开始撰写我所熟知的事物,但这并不是说我不喜爱那些美国和英国书籍,恰恰相反,那些书籍激发了我的想象力,为我开启了新的世界。但随之而来的后果就是,我不知道原来像我这样的人,也是可以存在于文学作品中的,而与非洲作家的结缘,则是将我从对于书籍的单一故事中拯救了出来。

我来自一个传统的尼日利亚中产家庭,我的父亲是一名教授,我的母亲是一名大学管理员。因此我们和很多其他家庭一样,都会从附近的村庄中雇佣一些帮手来打理家事。在我八岁那一年,我们家招来了一位新的男仆。他的名字叫做fide.我父亲只告诉我们说,他是来自一个非常穷苦的家庭,我母亲会时不时的将山芋、大米,还有我们穿旧的衣服送到他的家里。每当我剩下晚饭的时候,我的母亲就会说:吃净你的食物!难道你不知道吗?像fide家这样的人可是一无所有。因此我对他们家人充满了怜悯。 后来的一个星期六,我们去fide的村庄拜访,他的母亲向我们展示了一个精美别致的草篮----用fide的哥哥用染过色的酒椰叶编制的。我当时完全被震惊了。我从来没有想过fide的家人居然有亲手制造东西的才能。在那之前,我对fide家唯一的了解就是他们是何等的穷困,正因为如此,他们在我脑中的印象只是一个字------“穷”。他们的贫穷是我赐予他们的单一故事。

多年以后,在我离开尼日利亚前往美国读大学的时候,我又想到了这件事。我那时19岁,我的美国室友当时完全对我感到十分惊讶了。他问我是从哪里学的讲一口如此流利的英语,而当我告知她尼日利亚刚巧是以英语作为官方语言的时候,她的脸上则是写满了茫然。她问我是否可以给她听听她所谓的“部落音乐”,可想而知,当我拿出玛丽亚凯莉的磁带时,她是何等的失望,她断定我不知道如何使用电炉。

我猛然意识到“在他见到我之前,她就已经对我充满了怜悯之心。她对我这个非洲人的预设心态是一种充满施恩与好意的怜悯之情。我那位室友的脑中有一个关于非洲的单一故事。一个充满了灾难的单一故事。在这个单一的故事中,非洲人是完全没有可能在任何方面和她有所相似的;没有可能接收到比怜悯更复杂的感情;没有可能以一个平等的人类的身份与她

沟通。

我不得不强调,在我前往美国之前,我从来没有有意识的把自己当做个非洲人。但在美国的时候,每当人们提到”非洲“时,大家都会转向我,虽然我对纳米比亚之类的地方一无所知。但我渐渐的开始接受这个新的身份,现在很多时候我都是把自己当做一个非洲人来看待。不过当人们把非洲当做一个国家来讨论的时候,我还是觉得挺反感的。最近的一次例子就发生在两天前,我从拉各斯搭乘航班,旅程原本相当愉快,直到广播里开始介绍在”印度、非洲以及其他国家”所进行的慈善事业。

当我以一名非洲人的身份在美国读过几年之后,我开始理解我那位室友当时对我的反应。如果我不是在尼日利亚长大,如果我对非洲的一切认识都是来自于大众流行的影像,我相信我眼中的非洲也同样是充满了美丽的地貌、美丽的动物,以及一群难以理解的人们进行着毫无意义的战争、死于艾滋和贫穷、无法为自己辩护,并且等待着一位慈悲的、白种的外国人的救赎,我看待非洲的方式将会和我儿时看待fide一家的方式是一样的。

我认为关于非洲的这个单一故事从根本上来自于西方的文学。这是来自伦敦商人john locke的一段话。他在1561年的时候,曾游历非洲西部,并且为他的航行做了翻很有趣的记录。他先是把黑色的非洲人称为“没有房子的野兽”,随后又写道:“他们也是一群无头脑的人,他们的嘴和眼睛都长在了他们的胸口上。”

我每次读到这一段的时候,都不禁大笑起来。他的想象力真的是让人敬佩。但关于他的作品极其重要的一点是它昭示着西方社会讲述非洲故事的一个传统,在这个传统中,撒哈拉以南的非洲充满了消极、差异以及黑暗,是伟大的诗人rudyard kipling笔下所形容的“半恶魔、半孩童”的奇异人种。

正因为如此,我开始意识到我的那位美国室友一定在她的成长过程中,看到并且听过关于这个单一故事的不同版本,就如同之前一位曾经批判我的小说缺乏“真实的非洲感”的教授一样。话说我倒是甘愿承认我的小说有几处写的不好的地方,有几处败笔,但我很难想象我的小说既然会缺乏“真实的非洲感”。事实上,我甚至不知道真实的非洲感到底是个什么东西。那位教授跟我说我书中的人物都和他太相近了,都是受过教育的中产人物。我的人物会开车,他们没有受到饥饿的困扰。正因此,他们缺乏了真实的非洲感。

我在这里不得不指出,我本人也常常被单一的故事蒙蔽双眼。几年前,我从美国探访墨西哥,当时美国的政治气候比较紧张。关于移民的辩论一直在进行着。而在美国,“移民”和“墨西哥人”常常被当做同义词来使用。关于墨西哥人的故事是源源不绝,讲的都是欺诈医疗系统、偷渡边境、在边境被捕之类的事情。

我还记得当我到达瓜达拉哈拉的第一天,看着人们前往工作,在市集上吃着墨西哥卷、抽着烟、大笑着,我记得我刚看到这一切时是何等的惊讶,但随后我的心中便充满了羞耻感。我意识到我当时完全被沉浸在媒体上关于墨西哥人的报道,以致于他们在我的脑中幻化成一个单一的个体---卑贱的移民。我完全相信了关于墨西哥人的单一故事,对此我感到无比的羞愧。这就是创造单一故事的过程,将一群人一遍又一遍地呈现为一个事物,并且只是一个事物,时间久了,他们就变成了那个事物。

而说到单一的故事,就自然而然地要讲到权力这个问题。每当我想到这个世界的权力结构的时候,我都会想起一个伊傅语中的单词,叫做“nkali”,它是一个名词,可以在大意上被翻译成”比另一个人强大。”就如同我们的经济和政治界一样,我们所讲的故事也是建立在它的原则上的。这些故事是怎样被讲述的、由谁来讲述、何时被讲述、有多少故事被讲述,这一切都取决于权力。篇三:ted演讲:改变无数生命的18分钟 ted演讲:改变无数生命的18分钟

最具活力的演讲形式,最先进的科技、教育、创意的碰撞。以讲故事的形式把一些好的思想带给你,并且

最多只占用你18分钟,足以让你对主题窥一斑而知全豹。这就是ted演讲的魅力所在。 思想的力量能改变世界吗?

每年在美国加州举办的 ted 大会就有这样的野心,号称“超级大脑spa”。然而,它真正在大范围内改变世界,却是始于2006年,第一个 ted 演讲视频被传到网上。迄今,演讲视频的收视率超过8亿人次。 不用买昂贵的门票去现场,在家里的电脑和手机屏幕上,越来越多的人正在用这18分钟来影响和改变自

己,包括很多中国的大中学生。

“ted演讲的前沿性,是国内目前极少讲座可以与之相比的——最先进的科技以及思想动态几乎都能在ted的舞台上见到踪影,它以讲故事的形式把一些好的思想带给你,并且最多只占用你18分钟。但很多

时候,那已足以让你窥一斑而知全豹。”

在最短的时间内,学到牛人最厉害的地方

“ted给我的第一印象是:哇!” 李翔第一次看到ted的视频,是在大一的一次交流活动上。随后,各种各样的ted演讲开始给他带来大大小小的头脑冲击,“我居然能免费在家里观看到这么前沿的东西!” 没有开幕式、演讲台、西装和领带,也不欢迎“在法律上不能告诉我们真相的ceo们,和因服务于很多选区而不能说出真相的政客们”,给予每个演讲者的时间是18分钟。在ted的舞台上,最不缺的就是牛人。他们演讲的内容却往往与在其他场合不同:以慈善家身份出现的比尔·盖茨一边说着“没有理由只让穷人体验被蚊子攻击的滋味”,一边将蚊子释放到会场里,让与会者也体验一下喂蚊子;美国前副总统戈尔则做

了一场有关气候变暖的演讲,成了奥斯卡最佳纪录片《难以忽视的真相》的缘起。

“在最短的时间内,我可以学到这些牛人最厉害的地方,他们会给你描述一个你从未想过的世界或世界观。”2007年,吴恒看到诺贝尔奖得主詹姆斯·沃森用通俗易懂的方式讲述自己发现dna的过程时,他突然觉得,“这和从教科书里学习的感觉截然不同!传统的教育方式是老师对着教科书讲,ted则是让教科书的作者来教你。”2009年,他开始做ted字幕翻译计划的志愿者,“看了那么好的视频,就觉得有必要

让更多的人看到,就像是在传播文明。”

么遥不可及。”

小人物在上面讲课,比尔·盖茨在下面听 ted每集演讲的时间都很短,这正好迎合了现代人生活的碎片化。高二开始看ted的陈小瑜总是在早上起床或晚上上床之前,一边放着ted音频,一边做别的事情。陈谦则习惯在每天晚上洗完澡后吹头发的

时间里看一集视频。

“人们很多时候不想学习,又想学习。不想学习,指的是不愿意投入太多时间在某些只是好奇的陌生领域;又想学习,指的是人们对于自己熟知领域之外的其他领域充满好奇心。ted演讲的18分钟格式很好地解决了这个问题。”人们的时间有限,如何搭建出色的知识结构是一个很大的挑战,ted演讲是一个很好的

新型学习工具。

看过的ted演讲有几百个了,半数以上改变了他对某个东西或者是对自己的看法。并且,它们让他看到了一种趋势:这个世界正在变得更好,而且我们每个人都可以为此做点什么。虽然有非常严重的金融危机,有日益恶化的生态危机,但是,我们的世界还是充满了很多积极的故事:暴力正在减少、人们重新发现社

区的价值、社会创新正在蓬勃兴起、我们都能作出改变,不管是亿万富豪还是布衣平民。

之前,每当有人问起 ted是什么的时候,比尔·盖茨、比尔·克林顿、爱德华·威尔逊等人都会被当做例子,以展现ted舞台之强大。但看的演讲越多越发现,真正的ted明星不是那些大牌人物,而往往是一些在自己领域里默默耕耘和创新的无名人士。这些人有的是警察,在尝试新的方法去与囚犯接触;有的是小学校长,通过一些有趣的活动,鼓励学生去从社会发现问题并且发出自己的声音;还有的是剪纸艺术家,通

过剪纸去讲述这个时代的故事„„“也许他们本来只改变了囚犯、几十个学生或普通市民,但一经ted舞

台的放大,他们的感召力和影响力马上几十倍几百倍地增长。”

做着有趣事情的普通人,也同名人一样有机会站在ted的舞台上,向世界介绍和传播思想。李翔觉得,在以往的学校演讲台上站着的,除了专业类演讲,或者是事业成功人士来演讲的,或者是来给学生励志的,这正是ted与其他讲座、课程最大的不同。“这个平台能让一个名气不大的小孩在台上讲,美国副总统、

比尔·盖茨都在下面听。如果只让大学教授在演讲台上喋喋不休,学校会扼杀年轻人创造力的。”

是通识教育,也是灵感的触发器

王三木最初接触ted时,刚刚硕士毕业进入广州一所三本独立学院当老师。3年里,通过ted这个窗口,

他了解了不同形态的教育。他慢慢发现,自己最初对教育的理解是幼稚的。

“ted的演讲者都是高水平的,他讲出的问题,可能也是我们同样会遇到的。这样,与其听现实中的老师再讲一遍,不如老师和学生一起,听一遍ted关于这个问题的探讨,再一起讨论,效果就会好很多。”王三木说,很多学生抱怨上大学,或者对自己的专业不满,经常逃课,如果把逃课的时间用在看看ted演

讲上,也会受益匪浅。

王三木觉得,在学习的过程中,他个人的收获也不亚于学生。ted不仅是强大的内容提供方,也是一种工

具,帮助他找回了上大学以后就消失已久的学习热情,重新开始主动地、有意识地学习。

“18分钟是很短的,基本都是做一些思维的碰撞,让你知道有这么一个新的理论或思想,但要真正深入掌握一门知识,是需要读书和实践的。”在王三木看来,对ted的学习包括两个阶段:如果还不了解自己的兴趣,或者对世界的认识还不够,ted就可以作为通识教育的工具,让你打开眼界;如果有了比较明确的想法,就可以专门接触某一类演讲,顺藤摸瓜,去阅读演讲者的著作,探究他所在的领域,了解他所做的 事情,并和自己的工作结合在一起。这样,ted就会变成灵感的触发器。 ted则直接影响到李翔的人生选择。他看了无数遍一个名为《学校扼杀创造力》的演讲,在这段视频中,肯·罗宾逊指出,现代教育不应该只是为了最终产出大学教授,而应该是多元的;不是数学不好,但美术、音乐、舞蹈也同样重要,可惜我们现在的课程都是注重分数、基点,让学生最终向着同一个方向:背书、

拿到高分,顺利毕业。

这段视频让李翔有了休学的想法,大二时,他决定开始间隔年,后来,他从那所独立学院退学,申请去了新西兰留学,现在已经创业取得了小小的成功。“ted让我感到生活是如此的多元,不用一条路走到黑。”

世界各地的志同道合者集合在一起

“ted演讲其实只是一个窗口,但是,通过这个窗口,我们可以找到很多来自全球各地的志同道合者。” 在世界各地,喜欢ted的志同道合者正在聚集到一起。2009年3月,ted推出了tedx项目,只要满足以下条件,任何人都可以自己组织tedx讨论会:不能超过一天,会上25%的内容必须是ted演讲视频

目前,以城市、高校为平台,中国也已经有了几百个tedx组织。在这些小小的分会场上,更多的人走上

分享的舞台,交流人生、灵感与创新。

“一些对理想有追求、希望作出某些改变的人走到一起,他们在了解世界其他地方正在发生什么,再相互

探讨这样的变化对本地有何借鉴意义——这就是tedx最典型的一个写照。”

在美国硅谷举办的一场tedxsv年度大会上,tedx全球项目总监拉瓦·斯丹说,整个tedx的社区就是一个具有全球凝聚力的部落。这个部落的故事,就是全球不同文化相交融的故事,部落里的人也许肤色种族

信仰各不一样,但大家都坚信一点:优秀的思想可以改变我们的未来。

著名音乐家 bob geldof 则在2008年的ted大会上说过:“人类的进步要靠一些?非理性?的人。理性的人看到世界是什么就是什么,?非理性?的人则坚持要努力去改变它。假如要我说ted是什么,我会说,ted本身就是一帮?非理性?的人的聚会。”正是这些“非理性”的人在重新定义着我们这个时代成功的概念。 篇四:观后感—ted演讲

生死自知

高一(6)

ted演讲演讲稿范文第6篇

恩,事实上,我希望能再待久一点。我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。(掌声)这段时间里,我看到了很多变化。现在这份数据是挺吓人的,而我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的朋友,她在阿布达比教成人英语。在一个晴朗的日子里,她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。但最后却变成是她在学习所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些植物是如何被用作药材,化妆品,烹饪,香草。这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢?当然是从他们的祖父母,甚至曾祖父母那里得来的。不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。

but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate. a language dies every 14 days. now, at the same time, english is the undisputed global language. could there be a connection? well i dont know. but i do know that ive seen a lot of changes. when i first came out to the gulf, i came to kuwait in the days when it was still a hardship post. actually, not that long ago. that is a little bit too early. but nevertheless, i was recruited by the british council along with about 25 other teachers. and we were the first non-muslims to teach in the state schools there in kuwait. we were brought to teach english because the government wanted to modernize the country and empower the citizens through education. and of course, the u.k. benefited from some of that lovely oil wealth. 但遗憾的是,今天很多语言正在以前所未有的速度消失。每14天就有一种语言消失,而与此同时,英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。这其中有关联吗?我不知道。但我知道的是,我见证过许多改变。初次来到海湾地区时,我去了科威特。当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。其实,没有那么久啦,这有点太久以前了。总之,我和其他25位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师,在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语,是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然,英国也能得到些好处,产油国可是很有钱的。 okay. now this is the major change that ive seen -- how teaching english has morphed from being a mutually english-speaking nation on earth. and why not? after all, the best education -- according to the latest world university rankings -- is to be found in the universities of the u.k. and the u.s. so everybody wants to have an english education, naturally. but if youre not a native speaker, you have to pass a test. 言归正传,我见过最大的改变,就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科,也不再只是英国的专利。英语(教学)已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。何乐而不为呢?毕竟,最好的教育来自于最好的大学,而根据最新的世界大学排名,那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育,但如果你不是以英文为母语,你就要通过考试。 now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability well, i dont think so. we english teachers reject them all the time. we put a stop sign, and we stop them in their tracks. they cant pursue their dream any longer, till they get english. now let me put it this way, if i met a dutch speaker who had the cure for cancer, would i stop him from entering my british university? i dont think so. but indeed, that is exactly what we do. we english teachers are the gatekeepers. and you have to satisfy us first that your english is good enough. now it can be dangerous to give too much power to a narrow segment of society. maybe the barrier would be too universal. 但仅凭语言能力就拒绝学生这样对吗?譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学家,但他会需要有和律师一样的语言能力吗?我不这么认为。但身为英语老师的我们,却总是拒绝他们。我们处处设限,将学生挡在路上,使他们无法再追求自己的梦想,直到他们通过考试。现在容我换一个方式说,如果我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人,而这个人能治愈癌症,我会阻止他进入我的英国大学吗?我想不会。但事实上,我们的确在做这种事。我们这些英语老师就是把关的。你必须先让我们满意,使我们认定你的英文够好。但这可能是危险的。把太多的权力交由这么小的一群人把持,也许会令这种障碍太过普及。

okay. but, i hear you say, what about the research? its all in english. so the books are in english, the journals are done in english, but that is a self-fulfilling . it feeds the english requirement. and so it goes on. i ask you, what happened to translation? if you think about the islamic 于是,我听到你们问但是研究呢?研究报告都要用英文。”的确,研究论著和期刊都要用英文发表,但这只是一种理所当然的现象。有英语要求,自然就有英语供给,然后就这么循环下去。我倒想问问大家,为什么不用翻译呢?想想伊斯兰的黄金时代,当时翻译盛行,人们把拉丁文和希腊文翻译成阿拉伯文或波斯文,然后再由拉伯文或波斯文翻译为欧洲的日耳曼语言以及罗曼语言。于是文明照亮了欧洲的黑暗时代。但不要误会我的意思,我不是反对英语教学或是在座所有的英语老师。我很高兴我们有一个全球性的语言,这在今日尤为重要。但我反对用英语设立障碍。难道我们真希望世界上只剩下600种语言,其中又以英文或中文为主流吗?我们需要的不只如此。那么我们该如何拿捏呢?这个体制把智能和英语能力画上等号这是相当武断的。

and i want to remind you that the giants upon whose shoulders todays stand did not have to have english, they didnt have to pass an english test. case in point, einstein. he, by the way, was considered remedial at school because he was, in fact, dyslexic. but fortunately for the world, he did not have to pass an english test. because they didnt start until 1964 with toefl, the american test of english. now its exploded. there are lots and lots of tests of english. and millions and millions of students take these tests every year. now you might think, you and me, those fees arent bad, theyre okay, but they are prohibitive to so many millions of poor people. so immediately, were rejecting them. 我想要提醒你们,扶持当代知识分子的这些“巨人肩膀不必非得具有英文能力,他们不需要通过英语考试。爱因斯坦就是典型的例子。顺便说一下,他在学校还曾被认为需要课外补习,因为他其实有阅读障碍。但对整个世界来说,很幸运的当时他不需要通过英语考试,因为他们直到1964年才开始使用托福。现在英语测验太泛滥了,有太多太多的英语测验,以及成千上万的学生每年都在参加这些考试。现在你会认为,你和我都这么想,这些费用不贵,价钱满合理的。但是对数百万的穷人来说,这些费用高不可攀。所以,当下我们又拒绝了他们。 it brings to mind a headline i saw recently: education: the great divide. now i get it, i understand why people would focus on english. they want to give their children the best chance in life. and to do that, they need a western education. because, of course, the best jobs go to people out of the western universities, that i put on earlier. its a circular thing. 这使我想起最近看到的一个新闻标题:“教育:大鸿沟”现在我懂了。我了解为什么大家都重视英语,因为他们希望给孩子最好的人生机会。为了达成这目的,他们需要西方教育。毕竟,不可否认,最好的工作都留给那些西方大学毕业出来的人。就像我之前说的,这是一种循环。

okay. let me tell you a story about two scientists, two english scientists. they were doing an experiment to do with genetics and the forelimbs and the hind limbs of animals. but they couldnt get the results they wanted. they really didnt know what to do, until along came a german scientist who realized that they were using two words for forelimb and hind limb, whereas genetics does not differentiate and neither does german. so bingo, problem solved. if you cant think a thought, you are stuck. but if another language can think that thought, then, by cooperating, we can achieve and learn so much more. 好,我跟你们说一个关于两位科学家的故事:有两位英国科学家在做一项实验,是关于遗传学的,以及动物的前、后肢。但他们无法得到他们想要的结果。他们真的不知道该怎么办,直到来了一位德国的科学家。他发现在英文里前肢和后肢是不同的二个字,但在遗传学上没有区别。在德语也是同一个字。所以,叮!问题解决了。如果你不能想到一个念头,你会卡在那里。但如果另一个语言能想到那念头,然后通过合作我们可以达成目的,也学到更多。

我的女儿从科威特来到英格兰,她在阿拉伯的学校学习科学和数学。那是所阿拉伯中学。在学校里,她得把这些知识翻译成英文,而她在班上却能在这些学科上拿到最好的成绩。这告诉我们,当外籍学生来找我们,我们可能无法针对他们所知道的给予赞赏,因为那是来自于他们母语的知识。当一个语言消失时,我们不知道还有什么也会一并失去。

this is -- i dont know if you saw it on cnn recently -- they gave the heroes award to a young kenyan shepherd boy who couldnt study at night in his village like all the village children,篇二:杨澜ted演讲稿中英文 yang lan: the generation thats remaking china the night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final of chinas got talent show in shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. guess who was the performing guest?susan boyle. and i told her, im going to scotland the next day. she sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in chinese. [chinese]so its not like hello or thank you, that ordinary stuff. it means green onion for free. why did she say that? because it was a line from our chinese parallel susan boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in shanghai, who loves singing western opera, but she didnt understand any english or french or italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in chinese. (laughter) and the last sentence of nessun dorma that she was singing in the stadium was green onion for free. so [as] susan boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. that was hilarious. so i guess both susan boyle and this vegetable vendor in shanghai belonged to otherness. they were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. and a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. well, being different is not that difficult. we are all different from different perspectives. but i think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. you may have the chance to make a difference. my generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of china that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. i remember that in the year of 1990,when i was graduating from college, i was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in beijing, great wall sheraton -- its still there. so after being interrogated by this japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, so, miss yang, do you have any questions to ask me?i summoned my courage and poise and said,yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell? i didnt have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel. my life, and i feel proud of that. but then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country. i was in beijings bidding for the olympic games. i was representing the shanghai expo. i saw china embracing the world and vice versa. but then sometimes im thinking, what are todays young generation up to? how are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of china, or at large, the world? so making a living is not that easy for young people. college graduates are not in short supply.in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. so what do they do? they have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves tribe of ants. and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. that ratio in americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china its 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price. so through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about. social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.for the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.and it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation. sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest. so when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this. so the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court. similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the internet. we heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food. and guess what, we have faked beef. they have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.and then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop. so all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the internet. and fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns. while young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes theyre a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life. china is soon to pass the u.s. as the number one market for luxury brands -- thats not including the chinese expenditures in europe and elsewhere. but you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 u.s. dollars. theyre not rich at all. theyre taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status. and this is a girl explicitly saying on a tv dating show that she would rather cry in a bmw than smile on a bicycle.but of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a bmw or [on] a bicycle. so happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, its about the environment. people are thinking about the following questions: are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher gdp? how are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? and also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?i guess these are the questions people are going to answer. and our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves. thank you very much. 杨澜ted演讲:重塑中国的一代 中文演讲稿

在来爱尔兰的前一晚,我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。 猜猜谁是表演嘉宾?——苏珊大妈。我告诉她,“我明天要去爱尔兰了。” 她歌声犹如天籁。而且她还可以说点中文。

“送你葱。” 这不是“你好、谢谢”之类的日常用语。这组词翻译过来是免费给你青葱,为什么她要说这个呢?因为这是我们中国版的苏珊大妈很有名的一句歌词。

这位五十几岁的大妈在上海以贩卖蔬菜为生。她喜欢西方的歌剧,但是她不懂任何外语,所以她就把中文蔬菜名填做歌词。当她在体育场里 唱到今夜无人入眠的最后一句时,她唱的是“送你葱”。苏珊大妈和全场八万观众一起唱“送你葱”,多有意思的场面。

我想苏珊大妈和这位在上海做蔬菜买卖的都属于不同寻常的人。在业界所谓的娱乐圈,他们最不可能取得成功,但是他们的勇气和才华让他们成功了。一场秀,一个平台给了他们实现梦想的舞台。

与众不同不难,从不同的角度看我们都是不一样的。我认为与众不同是好的,因为你有不同的看法,这给你机会去产生不同的影响。

我们这代人有幸见证和参与了过去二三十年中国的历史性的转型。

我记得在九十年代,刚从大学毕业的我申请了一份在北京五星级酒店销售部的工作。在日本经理一个半小时的面试后,他最后说:“杨小姐,你有什么问题要问我吗?”我鼓起勇气,定定神然后问道:“您能告诉我销售部到底销售什么?”我对于五星级酒店的销售部的职责一点都摸不着头脑。那是我在五星级酒店的第一天。

同时,我和上千名大学女生参加了一场由中国中央电视台举办的史无前例的公开选拔。制作人告诉我们他们想找一位可爱,天真,美丽的新面孔。当轮到我时,我站起来说道,“为什么女孩在电视上必须是漂亮,甜美,无邪的,像个花瓶?为什么她们不能有她们的想法,她们自己的声音?” 我想我一定得罪了评委。但是事实上,我的发言给他们留下了深刻的印象。接下来我进入了第二轮的选拔,然后是第三轮,第四轮。在经过七轮的选拔后,我胜出了。成为了一个国家电视台黄金时段节目的主持人。

不管你们相不相信,那是中国电视上第一个节目可以允许主持人自由发挥而不是去读审查后的稿子。这个节目的观众人数高达两到三千万。

几年后,我决定去美国哥伦比亚大学进修。之后我有了自己的传媒公司,这是在我刚毕业的时候想都不敢想的。
