我知道你们在想什么，你们觉得我迷路了，马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带回我的座
位上。（掌声）。我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。“来这里度假的吗，亲爱的？”（笑声）“来探望孩
子的吗？这次要待多久呢？
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 golden age, there was lots of translation then. they translated from latin and
greek into arabic, into persian, and then it was translated on into the germanic
languages of europe and the romance languages. and so light shone upon the dark ages
of europe. now dont get me wrong; i am not against teaching english, all you english
teachers out there. i love it that we have a global language. we need one today more
than ever. but i am against using it as a barrier. do we really want to end up with
600 languages and the main one being english, or chinese? we need more than that.
where do we draw the line? this system equates intelligence with a knowledge of english
which is quite .
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。
我和我的团队做了很多事情。在过去的这些年，我采访了上千人。有时候有年轻人走过来对我说：“杨澜，你改变了我的生活。”我也为此而自豪。
ted英文演讲稿3篇 以下这篇由应届毕业生演讲稿网站整理提供的是《阿凡达》、《泰坦尼克号》的导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆(james cameron)的一篇ted演讲。在这个演讲里，卡梅隆回顾了自己从电影学院毕业后走上导演道路的故事。卡梅隆告诉你，不要畏惧失败，永远不要给自己设限。更多演讲稿范文，欢迎访问应届毕业生演讲稿网站! i grew up on a steady diet of science fiction. in high school, i took a bus to school an hour each way every day. and i was always absorbed in a book, science fiction book, which took my mind to other worlds, and satisfied, in a narrative form, this insatiable sense of curiosity that i had. and you know, that curiosity also manifested itself in the fact that whenever i wasn't in school i was out in the woods, hiking and taking "samples" -- frogs and snakes and bugs and pond water -- and bringing it back, looking at it under the microscope. you know, i was a real science geek. but it was all about trying to understand the world, understand the limits of possibility. and my love of science fiction actually seemed mirrored in the world around me, because what was happening, this was in the late '60s, we were going to the moon, we were exploring the deep oceans.jacques cousteau was coming into our living rooms with his amazing specials that showed us animals and places and a wondrous world that we could never really have previously imagined. so, that seemed to resonate with the whole science fiction part of it.
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
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,
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

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.

TED英语演讲稿大全 TED英语演讲稿 I was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the box at the end of the day, and that was mainly because my mother has never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones in general. And so while other kids were BBM-ing their parents, I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter from home to see how the weekend had gone, which was a little frustrating when Grandma was in the hospital, but I was just looking for some sort of scribble, some unkempt cursive from my mother. And so when I moved to New York City after college and got pletely sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of at the time. I wrote those same kinds of letters that my mother had written me for strangers, and tucked them all throughout the city, dozens and dozens of them. I left them everywhere, in cafes and in libraries, at the , everywhere. I blogged about those letters and the days when they were necessary, and I posed a kind of crazy
TED演讲：如何成为一个更好的交谈者？（中英对照） Celeste Headlee 是一个靠交谈吃饭的人，她的工作是电台主持人。在几十年的工作中，她学到了很多沟通技巧，同时也发现居然有如此多的人真的很不会聊天。 下面是她在TED 上分享的10 条提高谈话质量的方法。全是干货，来一起学习：【视频请在wifi情况下观看，文字为中英对照】如何成为一个更好的交谈者格鲁吉亚公共广播节目主持人：Celeste Headlee 首先，我想让大家举手示意一下，有多少人曾经在Facebook 上拉黑过好友，因为他们发表过关于政治，宗教，儿童权益，或者食物等不恰当的言论，有多少人至少有一个不想见的人，因为你就是不想和对方说话？ All right, I want to see a show of hands how many of you have unfriended someone on Facebook because they said something offensive about politics or religion, childcare, food? And how many of you know at least one person that you avoid because you just don’t want to talk to them? 要知道，在过去想要一段礼貌的交谈我们只要遵循亨利﹒希金斯在《窈窕淑女》中的忠告，只谈论天气和你的健康状况就行了。但这些年随着气候变化以及反对疫苗运动的开展——这招不怎么管用了。
因此，在我们生活的这个世界，这个每一次交谈都有可能发展为争论的世界，政客无法彼此交谈。甚至为那些鸡毛蒜皮的事情，都有人群情绪激昂地赞成或者反对，这太不正常了。皮尤研究中心对一万名美国成年人做了一次调查，发现此刻我们的偏激程度，我们立场鲜明的程度，比历史上任何时期都要高。 You know, it used to be that in order to have a polite conversation, we just had to follow the advice of Henry Higgins in “My Fair Lady”: Stick to the weather and your health. But these days, with climate change and anti-vaxxing, those subjects—are not safe either. So this world that we live in, this world in which every conversation has the potential to devolve into an argument, where our politicians can’t speak to one another, and where even the most trivial of issues have someone fighting both passionately for it and against it, it’s not normal. Pew Research did a study of 10,000 American adults, and they found that at this moment, we are more polarized; we are more divided than we ever have been in history. 我们更不倾向于妥协，这意味着我们没有倾听彼此。我们做的各种决定，选择生活在何处，与谁结婚甚至和谁交朋友，都只基于我们已有的信念。再重复一遍，这只说明我们没有
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
Yang Lan: The generation that's remaking China 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 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 didn't 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 -- it's 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 didn't 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. Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls. The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, "Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?" I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they were impressed by my words. And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it. So I was on a national television prime-time show. And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script. (Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people. Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career. So we do a lot of things. I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, "Lan, you changed
