TED英语演讲稿：What fear can teach us 恐惧可以教会我们什么
one day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of chile, in one of the most remote regions of the pacific ocean, 20 american sailors watched their ship flood with seawater.
1819年的某一天，在距离智利海岸3000英里的地方，有一个太平洋上的最偏远的水域， 20名美国船员目睹了他们的船只进水的场面。
they’d been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ship’s hull. as their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the men huddled together in three small whaleboats.
他们和一头抹香鲸相撞，给船体撞了一个毁灭性的大洞。当船在巨浪中开始沉没时，人们在三条救生小艇中抱作一团。
these men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land. in their small boats, they carried only rudimentary navigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.
这些人在离家10000万英里的地方，离最近的陆地也超
过1000英里。在他们的小艇中，他们只带了落后的导航设备和有限的食物和饮水。
these were the men of the whaleship essex, whose story would later inspire parts of “moby dick.”
他们就是捕鲸船essex上的人们，后来的他们的故事成为《白鲸记》的一部分。
even in today’s world, their situation would be really dire, but think about how much worse it would have been then.
即使在当今的世界，碰上这种情况也够杯具的，更不用说在当时的情况有多糟糕。
no one on land had any idea that anything had gone wrong. no search party was coming to look for these men. so most of us have never experienced a situation as frightening as the one in which these sailors found themselves, but we all know what it’s like to be afraid.
岸上的人根本就还没意识到出了什么问题。没有任何人来搜寻他们。我们当中大部分人没有经历过这些船员所处的可怕情景，但我们都知道害怕是什么感觉。
we know how fear feels, but i’m not sure we spend enough time thinking about what our fears mean.
我们知道恐惧的感觉，但是我不能肯定我们会花很多时间想过我们的恐惧到底意味着什么。
as we grow up, we’re often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, just another childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.
我们长大以后，我们总是会被鼓励把恐惧视为软弱，需要像乳牙或轮滑鞋一样扔掉的幼稚的东西。
and i think it’s no accident that we think this way. neuroscientists have actually shown that human beings are hard-wired to be optimists.
我想意外事故并非我们所想的那样。神经系统科学家已经知道人类生来就是乐观主义者。
so maybe that’s why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself. “don’t worry,” we like to say to one another. “don’t panic.” in english, fear is something we conquer. it’s something we fight.
这也许就是为什么我们认为有时候恐惧，本身就是一种危险或带来危险。“不要愁。”我们总是对别人说。“不要慌”。英语中，恐惧是我们需要征服的东西。是我们必须对抗的东西，是我们必须克服的东西。
it’s something we overcome. but what if we looked at fear in a fresh way? what if we thought of fear as
an amazing act of the imagination, something that can be as profound and insightful as storytelling itself?
但是我们如果换个视角看恐惧会如何呢? 如果我们把恐惧当做是想象力的一个惊人成果，是和我们讲故事一样精妙而有见地的东西，又会如何呢?
it’s easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in young children, whose fears are often extraordinarily vivid.
在小孩子当中，我们最容易看到恐惧与想象之间的联系，他们的恐惧经常是超级生动的。
when i was a child, i lived in california, which is, you know, mostly a very nice place to live, but for me as a child, california could also be a little scary.
我小时候住在加利福尼亚，你们都知道，是非常适合居住的位置，但是对一个小孩来说，加利福尼亚也会有点吓人。
i remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and i sometimes couldn’t sleep at night, terrified that the big one might strike while we were sleeping.
我记得每次小地震的时候当我看到我们餐桌上的吊灯
晃来晃去的时候是多么的吓人，我经常会彻夜难眠，担心大地震会在我们睡觉的时候突然袭来。
and what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have a vivid imagination. but at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kinds of visions behind and grow up.
我们说小孩子感受到这种恐惧是因为他们有生动的想象力。但是在某个时候，我们大多数学会了抛弃这种想法而变得成熟。
we learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not every earthquake brings buildings down. but maybe it’s no coincidence that some of our most creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.
我们都知道床下没有魔鬼，也不是每个地震都会震垮房子。但是我们当中最有想象力的人们并没有因为成年而抛弃这种恐惧，这也许并不是巧合。
the same incredible imaginations that produced “the origin of species,”“jane eyre”and “the remembrance of things past,” also generated intense worries that haunted the adult lives of charles darwin, charlotte bront?? and marcel proust. so the question
is, what can the rest of us learn about fear from visionaries and young children?
同样不可思议的想象力创造了《物种起源》，《简·爱》和《追忆似水年华》，也就是这种与生俱来的深深的担忧一直缠绕着成年的查尔斯·达尔文，夏洛特·勃朗特和马塞尔·普罗斯特。问题就来了，我们其他人如何能从这些梦想家和小孩子身上学会恐惧?
well let’s return to the year 1819 for a moment, to the situation facing the crew of the whaleship essex. let’s take a look at the fears that their imaginations were generating as they drifted in the middle of the pacific.
让我们暂时回到1819年，回到essex捕鲸船的水手们面对的情况。让我们看看他们漂流在太平洋中央时他们的想象力给他们带来的恐惧感觉。
twenty-four hours had now passed since the capsizing of the ship. the time had come for the men to make a plan, but they had very few options.
船倾覆后已经过了24个小时。这时人们制定了一个计划，但是其实他们没什么太多的选择。
in his fascinating account of the disaster, nathaniel philbrick wrote that these men were just about as far
from land as it was possible to be anywhere on earth.
在纳撒尼尔·菲尔布里克(nathaniel philbrick)描述这场灾难的动人文章中，他写到“这些人离陆地如此之远，似乎永远都不可能到达地球上的任何一块陆地。”
the men knew that the nearest islands they could reach were the marquesas islands, 1,200 miles away. but they’d heard some frightening rumors.
这些人知道离他们最近的岛是1200英里以外的马克萨斯群岛(marquesas islands)。但是他们听到了让人恐怖的谣言。
they’d been told that these islands, and several others nearby, were populated by cannibals. so the men pictured coming ashore only to be murdered and eaten for dinner. another possible destination was hawaii, but given the season, the captain was afraid they’d be struck by severe storms.
他们听说这些群岛，以及附近的一些岛屿上都住着食人族。所以他们脑中都是上岸以后就会被杀掉被人当做盘中餐的画面。另一个可行的目的地是夏威夷，但是船长担心他们会被困在风暴当中。
now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500 miles due south in hopes of
reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the coast of south america.
所以最后的选择是到最远，也是最艰险的地方：往南走1500英里希望某股风能最终把他们吹到南美洲的海岸。 but they knew that the sheer length of this journey would stretch their supplies of food and water. to be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms, to starve to death before reaching land.
但是他们知道这个行程中一旦偏航将会耗尽他们食物和饮水的供给。被食人族吃掉，被风暴掀翻，在登陆前饿死。 these were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men, and as it turned out, the fear they chose to listen to would govern whether they lived or died.
这就是萦绕在这群可怜的人想象中的恐惧，事实证明，他们选择听从的恐惧将决定他们的生死。
now we might just as easily call these fears by a different name. what if instead of calling them fears, we called them stories?
也许我们可以很容易的用别的名称来称呼这些恐惧。我们不称之为恐惧，而是称它们为故事如何?
because that’s really what fear is, if you think
about it. it’s a kind of unintentional storytelling that we are all born knowing how to do. and fears and storytelling have the same components.
如果你仔细想想，这是恐惧真正的意义。这是一种与生俱来的，无意识的讲故事的能力。恐惧和讲故事有着同样的构成。
they have the same architecture. like all stories, fears have characters. in our fears, the characters are us. fears also have plots. they have beginnings and middles and ends. you board the plane.
他们有同样的结构。如同所有的故事，恐惧中有角色。在恐惧中，角色就是我们自己。恐惧也有情节。他们有开头，有中间，有结尾。你登上飞机。
the plane takes off. the engine fails. our fears also tend to contain imagery that can be every bit as vivid as what you might find in the pages of a novel. picture a cannibal, human teeth sinking into human skin, human flesh roasting over a fire.
飞机起飞。结果引擎故障。我们的恐惧会包括各种生动的想象，不比你看到的任何一个小说逊色。想象食人族，人类牙齿咬在人类皮肤上，人肉在火上烤。
fears also have suspense. if i’ve done my job as a
storyteller today, you should be wondering what happened to the men of the whaleship essex. our fears provoke in us a very similar form of suspense.
恐惧中也有悬念。如果我今天像讲故事一样，留个悬念不说了，你们也许会很想知道 essex捕鲸船上，人们到底怎么样了。我们的恐惧用悬念一样的方式刺激我们。
just like all great stories, our fears focus our attention on a question that is as important in life as it is in literature: what will happen next?
就像一个很好的故事，我们的恐惧也如同一部好的文学作品一样，将我们的注意力集中在对我们生命至关重要的问题上：后来发生了什么?
in other words, our fears make us think about the future. and humans, by the way, are the only creatures capable of thinking about the future in this way, of projecting ourselves forward in time, and this mental time travel is just one more thing that fears have in common with storytelling.
换而言之，我们的恐惧让我们想到未来。另外，人来是唯一有能力通过这种方式想到未来的生物，就是预测时间推移后我们的状况，这种精神上的时间旅行是恐惧与讲故事的另一个共同点。
as a writer, i can tell you that a big part of writing fiction is learning to predict how one event in a story will affect all the other events, and fear works in that same way.
我是一个作家，我要告诉你们写小说一个很重要的部分就是学会预测故事中一件事情如何影响另一件事情，恐惧也是同样这么做的。
in fear, just like in fiction, one thing always leads to another. when i was writing my first novel, “the age of miracles,”i spent months trying to figure out what would happen if the rotation of the earth suddenly began to slow down. what would happen to our days?
恐惧中，如同小说一样，一件事情总是导致另一件事情。我写我的第一部小说《奇迹时代》的时候，我花了数月的时间想象如果地球旋转突然变慢了之后会发生什么。我们的一天变得如何?
what would happen to our crops? what would happen to our minds? and then it was only later that i realized how very similar these questions were to the ones i used to ask myself as a child frightened in the night.
我们身体会怎样? 我们的思想会有什么变化? 也就是在那之后，我意识到我过去总是问自己的那些些问题和孩子
们在夜里害怕是多么的相像。
if an earthquake strikes tonight, i used to worry, what will happen to our house? what will happen to my family? and the answer to those questions always took the form of a story.
要是在过去，如果今晚发生地震，我会很担心，我的房子会怎么样啊?家里人会怎样啊? 这类问题的答案通常都会和故事一样。
so if we think of our fears as more than just fears but as stories, we should think of ourselves as the authors of those stories. but just as importantly, we need to think of ourselves as the readers of our fears, and how we choose to read our fears can have a profound effect on our lives.
所以我们认为我们的恐惧不仅仅是恐惧还是故事，我们应该把自己当作这些故事的作者。但是同样重要的是，我们需要想象我们自己是我们恐惧的解读者，我们选择如何去解读这些恐惧会对我们的生活产生深远的影响。
now, some of us naturally read our fears more closely than others. i read about a study recently of successful entrepreneurs, and the author found that these people shared a habit that he called “productive paranoia,”
which meant that these people, instead of dismissing their fears, these people read them closely, they studied them, and then they translated that fear into preparation and action.
现在，我们中有些人比其他人更自然的解读自己的恐惧。最近我看过一个关于成功的企业家的研究，作者发现这些人都有个习惯叫做“未雨绸缪“，意思是，这些人，不回避自己的恐惧，而是认真解读并研究恐惧，然后把恐惧转换成准备和行动。
so that way, if their worst fears came true, their businesses were ready.
这样，如果最坏的事情发生了，他们的企业也有所准备。 and sometimes, of course, our worst fears do come true. that’s one of the things that is so extraordinary about fear. once in a while, our fears can predict the future.
当然，很多时候，最坏的事情确实发生了。这是恐惧非凡的一面。曾几何时，我们的恐惧预测将来。
but we can’t possibly prepare for all of the fears that our imaginations concoct. so how can we tell the difference between the fears worth listening to and all the others? i think the end of the story of the whaleship essex offers an illuminating, if tragic, example.
但是我们不可能为我们想象力构建的所有恐惧来做准备。所以，如何区分值得听从的恐惧和不值得的呢? 我想捕鲸船essex的故事结局提供了一个有启发性，同时又悲惨的例子。
after much deliberation, the men finally made a decision. terrified of cannibals, they decided to forgo the closest islands and instead embarked on the longer and much more difficult route to south america.
经过数次权衡，他们最终做出了决定。由于害怕食人族，他们决定放弃最近的群岛而是开始更长更艰难的南美洲之旅。
after more than two months at sea, the men ran out of food as they knew they might, and they were still quite far from land. when the last of the survivors were finally picked up by two passing ships, less than half of the men were left alive, and some of them had resorted to their own form of cannibalism.
在海上呆了两个多月后，他们的食物如预料之中消耗殆尽，而且他们仍然离陆地那么远。当最后的幸存者最终被过往船只救起时，只有一小半的人还活着，实际上他们中的一些人自己变成了食人族。
herman melville, who used this story as research for
“moby dick,” wrote years later, and from dry land, quote, “all the sufferings of these miserable men of the essex might in all human probability have been avoided had they, immediately after leaving the wreck, steered straight for tahiti.
赫尔曼·梅尔维尔(herman melville)将这个故事作为《白鲸记》的素材，在数年后写到： essex船上遇难者的悲惨结局或许是可以通过人为的努力避免的，如果他们当机立断地离开沉船，直奔塔西提群岛。
but,”as melville put it, “they dreaded cannibals.”so the question is, why did these men dread cannibals so much more than the extreme likelihood of starvation?
“但是”，梅尔维尔说道：“他们害怕食人族”问题是，为什么这些人对于食人族的恐惧超过了更有可能的饥饿威胁呢?
why were they swayed by one story so much more than the other? looked at from this angle, theirs becomes a story about reading. the novelist vladimir nabokov said that the best reader has a combination of two very different temperaments, the artistic and the scientific.
为什么他们会被一个故事影响如此之大呢? 从另一个角度来看，这是一个关于解读的故事。小说家弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫(vladimir nabokov)说最好的读者能把两种截然不同的性格结合起来，一个是艺术气质，一个是科学精神。
a good reader has an artist’s passion, a willingness to get caught up in the story, but just as importantly, the readers also needs the coolness of judgment of a scientist, which acts to temper and complicate the reader’s intuitive reactions to the story. as we’ve seen, the men of the essex had no trouble with the artistic part.
好的读者有艺术家的热情，愿意融入故事当中，但是同样重要的是，这些读者还要有科学家的冷静判断，这能帮助他们稳定情绪并分析其对故事的直觉反应。我们可以看出来，essex上的人在艺术部分一点问题都没有。
they dreamed up a variety of horrifying scenarios. the problem was that they listened to the wrong story. of all the narratives their fears wrote, they responded only to the most lurid, the most vivid, the one that was easiest for their imaginations to picture: cannibals.
他们梦想到一系列恐怖的场景。问题在于他们听从了一
个错误的故事。所有他们恐惧中他们只对其中最耸人听闻，最生动的故事，也是他们想象中最早出现的场景：食人族。
but perhaps if they’d been able to read their fears more like a scientist, with more coolness of judgment, they would have listened instead to the less violent but the more likely tale, the story of starvation, and headed for tahiti, just as melville’s sad commentary suggests.
也许，如果他们能像科学家那样稍微冷静一点解读这个故事，如果他们能听从不太惊悚但是更可能发生的半路饿死的故事，他们可能就会直奔塔西提群岛，如梅尔维尔充满惋惜的评论所建议的那样。
and maybe if we all tried to read our fears, we too would be less often swayed by the most salacious among them.
也许如果我们都试着解读自己的恐惧，我们就能少被其中的一些幻象所迷惑。
maybe then we’d spend less time worrying about serial killers and plane crashes, and more time concerned with the subtler and slower disasters we face: the silent buildup of plaque in our arteries, the
gradual changes in our climate.
我们也就能少花一点时间在为系列杀手或者飞机失事方面的担忧，而是更多的关心那些悄然而至的灾难：动脉血小板的逐渐堆积，气候的逐渐变迁。
just as the most nuanced stories in literature are often the richest, so too might our subtlest fears be the truest. read in the right way, our fears are an amazing gift of the imagination, a kind of everyday clairvoyance, a way of glimpsing what might be the future when there’s still time to influence how that future will play out.
如同文学中最精妙的故事通常是最丰富的故事，我们最细微的恐惧才是最真实的恐惧。用正确的方法的解读，我们的恐惧就是我们想象力赐给我们的礼物，借此一双慧眼，让我们能管窥未来甚至影响未来。
properly read, our fears can offer us something as precious as our favorite works of literature: a little wisdom, a bit of insight and a version of that most elusive thing -- the truth. thank you.
如果能得到正确的解读，我们的恐惧能和我们最喜欢的文学作品一样给我们珍贵的东西：一点点智慧，一点点洞悉以及对最玄妙东西——真相的诠释。谢谢。

ted精彩演讲：坠机让我学到的三件事 imagine a big explosion as you climb through 3,000 ft. imagine a plane full of smoke. imagine an engine going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. it sounds scary. 想像一个大爆炸，当你在三千多英尺的高空；想 像机舱内布满黑烟，想像引擎发出喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦的声响，听起来很可怕。 well i had a unique seat that day. i was sitting in 1d. i was the only one who can talk to the flight attendants. so i looked at them right away, and they said, no problem. we probably hit some birds. the pilot had already turned the plane around, and we werent that far. you could see manhattan. 那天我的位置很特別，我坐在1d，我是(转载于:ted演讲稿三分钟)唯一可以和空服员说 话的人，于是我立刻看着他们，他们说，“没问题，我们可能撞上鸟了。”机长已经把机头转 向，我们离目的地很近，已经可以看到曼哈顿了。 two minutes later, 3 things happened at the same time. the pilot lines up the plane with the hudson river. thats usually not the route. he turns off the engines. now imagine being in a plane with no sound. and then he says 3 words-the most unemotional 3 words ive ever heard. he says, brace for impact. 两分钟以后，三件事情同时发生：机长把飞机对齐哈德逊河，一般的航道可不是这样。 他关上引擎。想像坐在一架没有声音的飞机上。然后他说了几个字，我听过最不带情绪的几 个字，他说，“即将迫降，小心冲击。” i didnt have to talk to the flight attendant anymore. i could see in her eyes, it was terror. life was over. 我不用再问空服员什么了。我可以在她眼神里看到恐惧，人生结束了。 now i want to share with you 3 things i learned about myself that day. 现在我 想和你们分享那天我所学到的三件事。 i leant that it all changes in an instant. we have this bucket list, we have these things we want to do in life, and i thought about all the people i wanted to reach out to that i didnt, all the fences i wanted to mend, all the experiences i wanted to have and i never did. as i thought about that later on, i came up with a saying, which is, collect bad wines. because if the wine is ready and the person is there, im opening it. i no longer want to postpone anything in life. and that urgency, that purpose, has really changed my life. 在那一瞬间内，一切都改变了。我们的人生目标清单，那些我们想做的事，所有那些我 想联络却没有联络的人，那些我想修补的围墙，人际关系，所有我想经历却没有经历的事。 之后我回想那些事，我想到一句话，那就是，“我收藏的酒都很差。”因为如果酒已成熟，分 享对象也有，我早就把把酒打开了。我不想再把生命中的任何事延后，这种紧迫感、目标性 改变了我的生命。 the second thing i learnt that day - and this is as we clear the george washington bridge, which was by not a lot - i thought about, wow, i really feel one real regret, ive lived a good life. in my own humanity and mistaked, ive tired to get better at everything i tried. but in my humanity, i also allow my ego to get in. and i regretted the time i wasted on things that did not matter with people that matter. and i thought about my relationship with my wife, my friends, with people. and after, as i reflected on that, i decided to eliminate negative energy from my life. its not perfect, but its a lot better. ive not had a fight with my wife in 2 years. it feels great. i no
Ted中英对照演讲稿 大人能从小孩身上学到什么 Now, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens, we are called childish, which really bothers me. After all, take a look at these events: Imperialism and colonization, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourself: Who's responsible? Adults. 首先我要问大家一个问题：上一回别人说你幼稚是什么时候？像我这样的小孩，可能经常会被 人说成是幼稚。每一次我们提出不合理的要求，做出不负责任的行为，或者展现出有别于普通美 国公民的惯常行为之时，我们就被说成是幼稚。这让我很不服气。首先，让我们来回顾下这些事件：帝国主义和殖民主义，世界大战，小布什。请你们扪心自问下：这些该归咎于谁？是大人。 Now, what have kids done? Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust, Ruby Bridges helped end segregation in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. The traits the word childish addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking. 而小孩呢，做了些什么？安妮·弗兰克(Anne Frank)对大屠杀强有力的叙述打动了数百万人的心。鲁比·布里奇斯为美国种族隔离的终结作出了贡献。另外，最近还有一个例子，查理·辛普 森（Charlie Simpson）骑自行车为海地募得 12万英镑。所以，这些例子证明了年龄与行为完 全没有关系。 "幼稚"这个词所对应的特点是常常可以从大人身上看到，由此我们在批评不负责 和非理性的相关行为时，应停止使用这个年龄歧视的词。 (Applause) Thank you. Then again, who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren't exactly what the world needs? Maybe you've had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking: That's impossible or that costs too much or that won't

杨澜TED演讲：重塑中国的年轻一代（中英文对照） The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China’s 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, “I’m going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese] So it’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff. It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a li ne from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle — a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn’t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in C hinese. (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. 来苏格兰（做TED讲演）的前夜，我被邀请去上海做”中国达人秀“决赛的评委。在装有八万现场观众的演播厅里，在台上的表演嘉宾居然是（来自苏格兰的，因参加英国达人秀走红的）苏珊大妈（Susan Boyle)。我告诉她，“我明天就要启程去苏格兰。” 她唱得很动听，还对观众说了几句中文，她并没有说简单的”你好“或者”谢谢“，她说的是——“送你葱”（Song Ni Cong)。为什么？这句话其实来源于中国版的“苏珊大妈”——一位五十岁的以卖菜为生，却对西方歌剧有出奇爱好的上海中年妇女（蔡洪平）。这位中国的苏珊大妈并不懂英文，法语或意大利文，所以她将歌剧中的词汇都换做中文中的蔬菜名，并且演唱出来。在她口中，歌剧《图兰朵》的最后一句便是“Song Ni Cong”。当真正的英国苏珊大妈唱出这一句“中文的”《图兰朵》时，全场的八万观众也一起高声歌唱，场面的确有些滑稽（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. 我想Susan Boyle和这位上海的买菜农妇的确属于人群中的少数。她们是最不可能在演艺界成功的，而她们的勇气和才华让她们成功了，这个节目和舞台给予了她们一个实现个人梦想的机会。这样看来，与众不同好像没有那么难。从不同的方面审视，我们每个人都是不同的。但是我想，与众不同是一件好事，因为你代表了不一样的观点，你拥有了做改变的机会。 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
TED英语演讲稿 When you are a kid, you get asked this one particular question a lot, it really gets kind of annoying. What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, adults are hoping for answers like, I want to be an astronaut or I want to be a neurosurgeon, youre adults in your imaginations. Kids, theyre most likely to answer with pro-skateboarder, surfer or minecraft player. I asked my little brother, and he said, seriously dude, Im 10, I have no idea, probably a pro-skier, lets go get some ice cream. See, us kids are going to answer something were stoked on, what we think is cool, what we have experience with, and thats typically the opposite of what adults want to hear. But if you ask a little kid, sometimes youll get the best answer, something so simple, so obvious and really profound. When I grow up, I want to be happy. For me, when I grow up, I want to continue to be happy like I am now. Im stoked to be here at TedEx, I mean, Ive been watching Ted videos for as long as I can remember, but I never thought Id make it on the stage here so soon. I mean, I just became a teenager, and like most teenage boys, I spend most of my time wondering,

ted英语演讲稿3篇 as a magician, i try to create images that make people stop and think. i also try to challenge myself to do things that doctors say are not possible. i was buried alive in new york city in a coffin, buried alive in a coffin in april, 1999, for a week. i lived there with nothing but water. and it ended up being so much fun that i decided i could pursue doing more of these things. the next one is i froze myself in a block of ice for three days and three nights in new york city. that one was way more difficult than i had expected. the one after that, i stood on top of a hundred foot pillar for 36 hours. i began to hallucinate so hard that the buildings that were behind me started to look like big animal heads. 作为一个魔术师，我总是尝试去创造一个现象可以让人们驻足思考。我也试着挑战自己做一些医生看来不可能的事情。我曾于1999年4月，被埋在纽约一口棺材里整整一个星期。着一个礼拜仅靠水存活下来。但结果是我从中获得极大的乐趣。于是我决定去追求实现更多这样的事。下一次就是我把自己冻在一个大冰块里整整三天三
When I was in my 20s, I saw my very first psychotherapy client. I was a Ph.D. student in clinical psychology at Berkeley. She was a 26-year-old woman named Alex. 记得见我第一位心理咨询顾客时,我才20多岁。当时我是Berkeley临床心理学在读博士生。我的第一位顾客是名叫Alex的女性,26岁。 Now Alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top, and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems. Now when I heard this, I was so relieved. My classmate got an arsonist for her first client. (Laughter) And I got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys. This I thought I could handle. 第一次见面Alex穿着牛仔裤和宽松上衣走进来,她一下子栽进我办公室的沙 发上,踢掉脚上的平底鞋,跟我说她想谈谈男生的问题。当时我听到这个之后松了一口气。因为我同学的第一个顾客是纵火犯,而我的顾客却是一个20出头想谈谈男生的女孩。我觉得我可以搞定。But I didn't handle it. With the funny stories that Alex would bring to session, it was easy for me just to nod my head while we kicked the can down the road. 但是我没有搞定。Alex不断地讲有趣的事情,而我只能简单地点头认同她所 说的,很自然地就陷入了附和的状态。 "Thirty's the new 20," Alex would say, and as far as I could tell, she was right. Work happened later, marriage happened later, kids happened later, even death happened later. Twentysomethings like
3分钟英语演讲稿 3分钟英语演讲稿 3分钟英语演讲稿1 The East and the West, Let’s enjoy the combination of the two cultures? Kipling said:“East is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!” But now, a century later, they have met. They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the arts. Some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but I believe that the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own. I love Beijing and Hennan opera because it always reminds me of who I am. But I am also a fan of pop music, especially English songs. So I have combined
TED英语演讲稿：二十岁是不可以挥霍的光阴 5天内超过60万次浏览量的最新TED演讲“二十岁一去不再来”激起了世界各地的热烈讨论，资深心理治疗师 Meg Jay 分享给20多岁青年人的人生建议：(1)不要为你究竟是谁而烦恼，去赚那些说明你是谁的资本。(2)不要把自己封锁在小圈子里。(3)记住你可以选择自己的家庭。 Meg说：“第一，我常告诉二十多岁的男孩女孩，不要为你究竟是谁而烦恼，开始思考你可以是谁，并且去赚那些说明你是谁的资本。现在就是最好的尝试时机，不管是海外实习，还是创业，或者做公益。第二，年轻人经常聚在一起，感情好到可以穿一条裤子。可是社会中许多机会是从远关系开始的，不要把自己封锁在小圈子里，走出去你才会对自己的经历有更多的认识。第三，记住你可以选择自己的家庭。你的婚姻就是未来几十年的家庭，就算你要到三十岁结婚，现在选择和什么样的人交往也是至关重要的。简而言之，二十岁是不能轻易挥霍的美好时光。” 这段关于20岁青年人如何看待人生的演讲引起了许多TED粉丝的讨论，来自TEDx组织团队的David Webber就说：Meg指出最重要的一点便是青年人需要及早意识到积累经验和眼界，无论是20岁还是30岁，都是有利自己发展的重要事。” When I was in my 20s, I saw my very first psychotherapy

I'm here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and having it be specific and genuine. 嗨。我在这里要和大家谈谈向别人表达赞美，倾佩和谢意的重要性。并使它们听来真诚，具体。 And the way I got interested in this was, I noticed in myself, when I was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that I would want to say thank you to someone, I would want to praise them, I would want to take in their praise of me and I'd just stop it. And I asked myself, why? I felt shy, I felt embarrassed. And then my question became, am I the only one who does this? So, I decided to investigate. 之所以我对此感兴趣是因为我从我自己的成长中注意到几年前，当我想要对某个人说声谢谢时，当我想要赞美他们时，当我想接受他们对我的赞扬，但我却没有说出口。我问我自己，这是为什么? 我感到害羞，我感到尴尬。接着我产生了一个问题难道我是唯一一个这么做的人吗?

ted演讲稿wordTED3分钟演讲 内容是王道,如果你没有好的内容比如你的研究、你的经历,形式再怎么花哨,也不会有很好的效果的,所以想要登上这个舞台,怎么说不是先要考虑的问题,先要把自己的生活过的足够精彩.下面两张是手写的mindmap,用软件又做了一个. 手写版,第一部分,如何准备一场演讲第二部分演讲技巧版,从调动情绪和善用工具两个角度来讲这张是软件版的这个书的脉络.中间是书名,红色的是第一部分,桔色的是第二部分第一部分,演讲准备的这个内容第二部分,演讲技巧的部分下面是我的一些收获,作为笔记放在这里,以后在准备的时候可以稍微参考一下. 其实自己在读ted的演讲的时候更多关注的也是内容,对于具体的演讲技巧也会有涉及,比如有一些眼前一亮的开场,也会下意识的用在自己的演讲中.1、一场演讲一般从一下几个方面来构思,首先是确定主题,主题一般是先把自己所要讲的内容有一个定位,ted三个字母代表的是技术(technology）、娱乐（. entertainment）、设计（design),所有ted演讲人基本上可以划分为三个角色：教育者、娱乐者、变革推动者. 你需要讨论一个你非常熟悉而又热爱的话题,比如我就可以来说读书或者旅游的事情；每场只专注于讨论一个话题,把一个话题说清楚了,让你的听众能够足够的聚焦,最后要注意要有一个行动导向,可以让听众立即去做的事情,比如：每天节约一张面纸或者晚上回去就给朋友打个电话；演讲者要把重心放在观众那,而不是自己.2、接着就是讲稿的构思. 一般有两种演讲者,讲故事和讲道理的,根据你的内容适当的选择,当然讲故事的会更加吸引人,ted上大部分也是讲故事的,每个故事对应一个论点,最后提出一个总的论点作为收尾.构思讲稿就是让你如何讲好一个故事,你会发现,同样的故事两个人说出来,它的效果是不同的,如何能够像disney电影那样把一个故事讲的跌宕起伏,那么你的效果就达到了. 构思时要有逻辑性,采用演绎推理的方法,一般的逻辑是：导论-三部分主体-结论,那么如何讲好故事呢？3、编排故事的学问很大.你选的故事最好是亲身经历或者亲自观察,说从别人口里听到的故事不是不行,关键看你能不能讲好,但难度会更大些.
