2016thomas suarez ted演讲稿中英文

乔布斯斯坦福大学毕业典礼演讲Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another eighteen months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife, except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it.I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but lookingback, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out, I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interestingIt wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.I loved it.And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example.Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer was beautifully hand-calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful,historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me, and we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I wasin college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later.Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny,life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the differenceMy second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was twenty. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees.We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned thirty, and then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so, things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at thirty, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months.I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me. I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I'd been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Applewasthe best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creativeperiods in my life. During the next five years I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do whatI am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too manydays in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure --these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept. No one wants to die, even people who wantto go toHeaven don't want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late Sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. it was sort of like Google in paperback form thirty-five years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues of the The Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-Seventies and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath were the words, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. "Stay hungry, stay foolish." And I have always wished that for myself, and now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay hungry, stay foolish.Thank you all, very muchYour time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and askedmyself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.今天，有荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。

Round One: Achieving Prosperity第一轮：实现繁荣主持人说：The question is about putting more money into the Americans’pockets.问题是：如何让美国人的钱包鼓起来？首先发言的是希拉里：First we have to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.首先，我们要建立一个能为所有人服务的经济体，而非一个只为最富有那群人服务的。

That means we need more jobs, good jobs with rising incomes.这意味着跟多的工作岗位，那种有着更高收入的好工作。

I want us to invest in you. I want us to invest in your future.我眼中的投资对象是你们，是你们的未来。

That means jobs in infrastructure and in mass manufacturing, in innovation and technology, clean renewable energy and in small businesses bec ause most of the jobs will come from small business.而这意味着基础设施建设和大型制造业里的岗位、创新和科技领域的岗位、清洁可再生能源领域的岗位，以及小企业里的岗位，因为这些工作大部分会来自小企业。

We also have to make the economy fairer. That starts with raising the national minimum wage and also guarantee finely equal pay for women’s work.我们还得让经济环境更加公平。

2016年奥巴马就职演讲稿英文原稿(附中文翻译)篇一：奥巴马就职演说英文版(附中文翻译)奥巴马就职演说英文版（极好的口语材料，去背吧）My fellow citizens:I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to ournation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken duringrising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidstgathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remainedfaithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against afar-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence ofgreed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings furtherevidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. Theywill not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met. On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflictand discord.On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childishthings. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carryforward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their fullmeasure of happiness.In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not beenthe path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasuresof riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up thelong, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of anew life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh.Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands wereraw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individualambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no lessinventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or lastyear. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, wemust pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America. For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sunand the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. Andall this we will do.Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions - who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what thiscountry has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined tocommon purpose, and necessity to courage.What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stalepolitical arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether ithelps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end.And those of us who manage the public’s dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reformbad habits, and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vitaltrust between a people and their government.Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generatewealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control - and that a nation cannot prosper long when itfavors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the sizeof our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to ourcommon good.As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure therule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those idealsstill light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake. And so to a ll other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small villagewhere my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman,and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more. Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism not just with missiles and tanks, but withsturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protectus, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through itsprudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, thetempering qualities of humility and restraint.We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort - even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earnedpeace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our wayof life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducingterror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot bebroken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions - who suggest that our systemcannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what thiscountry has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined tocommon purpose, and necessity to courage.What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stalepolitical arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.

We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every languageand culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill ofcivil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, wecannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soondissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on theWest - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. Tothose who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know thatyou are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclenchyour fist.To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish andlet clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations likeours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outsideour borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect. For the worldhas changed, and we must change with it.As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They havesomething to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages.We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody thespirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, atthis moment - a moment that will define a generation - it is precisely this spirit that must inhabitus all.For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination ofthe American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger whenthe levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friendlose their job which sees us through our darkest h ours. It is the firefighter’s courage to storm astairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingness to nurture a child, that finally decidesour fate.Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But thosevalues upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, toleranceand curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have beenthe quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to thesetruths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part ofevery American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we donot grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task. This is the price and the promise of citizenship.This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertaindestiny.This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of everyrace and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whosefather less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now standbefore you to take a most sacred oath.So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In theyear of America’s birth, in the cold est of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing.The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most indoubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:"Let it be told to the future world...that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtuecould survive...that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet[it]."America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endurewhat storms may come. Let it be said by our children’s child ren that when we were tested werefused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed onthe horizon and God’s grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered itsafely to future generations.亲爱的同胞们：今天我站在这里，为我们将面对的任重道远而慨叹。

ted英语演讲稿3篇8分58秒，汤姆，斯塔斯始终保持，我告诉过你们那个家伙有鲸鱼一样大的肺。

(笑声) 我设想可以在林肯中心放一个巨型水缸然后我不吃饭在那里面先待一个礼拜，就会比较适应了，并且新陈代谢也会缓慢下来，我很肯定这样做可以帮我更长时间的屏住呼吸。

显然我完全错了。

i entered the sphere a week before the scheduled air date. and i thought everything seemed to be on track. two days before my big breath hold attempt, for the record, the producers of my television special thought that just watching somebody holding their breath, and almost drowning, is too boring for television. (laughter) so, i had to add handcuffs, while holding my breath, to escape from. this was a critical mistake. because of the movement i was wasting oxygen. and by seven minutes i had gone into these awful convulsions. by 7:08 i started to black out. and by seven minutes and 30 seconds they had to pull my body out and bring me back. i had failed on every level. (laughter) 我提前一个礼拜去到中心，感觉一切都渐渐上了轨道，没想到的是，在破纪录憋气尝试的前两天，电视制作人突然觉得光看人憋气像是快要淹死对观众来说太过无聊。

谢谢你们，非常感谢你们每一个人。

抱歉让你们久等了。

真是棘手的工作，非常棘手。

再次感谢你们。

我刚刚接到了国务卿希拉里的电话，她向我们表示了祝贺。

这是有关我们的事业和我们的胜利，同时我也向她和她的家庭表示敬意，她们在这场硬仗中坚持了下来。

我是说，她真的在拼尽全力战斗。

希拉里在这场持续很久的选战中持之以恒地奋战，同时，对于她为国服务的经历，我们欠她一个感谢。

我真诚地向她表示感谢。

而现在，是美国从分裂的伤口中重新捆成一团，集结在一起的时候了。

我想对所有的共和党、民主党和独立人士说，现在是我们重新作为美国人站在一起的时候了。

这个时刻到了。

我向这片土地上的每一位公民承诺，我会做一名为每一个美国人服务的总统，这一点对我尤其重要。

对于在过去不支持我的那些人来说，我现在需要你们的指导和援助，让我们一起把这个伟大的国家团结起来。

就像我从一开始就说的那样，这不只是一场选战，而是一次伟大的和无与伦比的运动，这场运动由数百万勤奋工作的男男女女组成。

他们热爱自己的国家，他们想要一个更为美好和光明的未来。

这场运动属于所有美国人，来自所有种族、宗教、背景和信仰的美国人。

他们期待我们的政府的为人民服务，并且希望他们的期待不会落空。

我们一起努力，开始这项刻不容缓的任务：重建我们的国家，重塑美国梦。

我的一生都在商界摸爬滚打，我看见了那些来自世界各地的项目，和人群中未被开发的潜力。

这是我现在想为国家做的工作。

这个国家有着无穷的潜力。

我已经如此了解我们的国家，确信她包含无穷潜力。

这将是一件非常美好的事情。

每一个美国人都将有机会实现他或她所拥有的全部潜能。

这个国家曾经被遗忘的男人和女人将不再被忽略。

我们将修复我们的内陆城市，并重建高速公路、桥梁、隧道、机场、学校和医院。

我们将重建基础设施，并且更重要的是，这些重建项目会给数百万人带来工作。

同时，我们也终于能照顾好那些忠诚而伟大的老兵，在这场持续18个月的竞选旅程中，我认识了他们当中的不少人。

President Rogge,Ladies and gentlemen of the International Olympic Committee:I come here today as a passionate supporter of the Olympic and Paralympic Games; as a strong believer in the movement they represent; and as a proud Chicagoan. But above all, I come as a faithful representative of the American people, and we look forward to welcoming the world to the shores of Lake Michigan and the heartland of our nation in 2016.To host athletes and visitors from every corner of the globe is a high honor and a great responsibility. And America is ready and eager to assume that sacred trust. We're a nation that has always opened its arms to the citizens of the world --including my own father from the African continent -- people who have sought something better; who have dreamed of something bigger.I know you face a difficult choice among several great cities and nations with impressive bids of their own. So I've come here today to urge you to choose Chicago for the same reason I chose Chicago nearly 25 years ago -- the reason I fell in love with the city I still call home. And it's not just because it's where I met the woman you just heard from -- although after getting to know her this week, I know you'll all agree that she's a pretty big selling point for the city.You see, growing up, my family moved around a lot. I was born in Hawaii. I lived in Indonesia for a time. I never really had roots in any one place or culture or ethnic group. And then I came to Chicago. And on those Chicago streets, I worked alongside men and women who were black and white; Latino and Asian; people of every class and nationality and religion. I came to discover that Chicago is that most American of American cities, but one where citizens from more than 130 nations inhabit a rich tapestry of distinctive neighborhoods.Each one of those neighborhoods --from Greektown to the Ukrainian Village; from Devon to Pilsen to Washington Park -- has its own unique character, its own unique history, its songs, its language. But each is also part of our city -- one city -- a city where I finally found a home. Chicago is a place where we strive to celebrate what makes us different just as we celebrate what we have in common. It's a place where our unity is on colorful display at so many festivals and parades, and especially sporting events, where perfect strangers become fast friends just because they're wearing the same jersey. It's a city that works -- from its first World's Fair more than a century ago to the World Cup we hosted in the nineties, we know how to put on big events. And scores of visitors and spectators will tell you that we do it well.Chicago is a city where the practical and the inspirational exist in harmony; where visionaries who made no small plansrebuilt after a great fire and taught the world to reach new heights. It's a bustling metropolis with the warmth of a small town; where the world already comes together every day to live and work and reach for a dream -- a dream that no matter who we are, where we come from; no matter what we look like or what hand life has dealt us; with hard work, and discipline, and dedication, we can make it if we try.That's not just the American Dream. That is the Olympic spirit. It's the essence of the Olympic spirit. That's why we see so much of ourselves in these Games. That's why we want them in Chicago. That's why we want them in America.We stand at a moment in history when the fate of each nation is inextricably linked to the fate of all nations -- a time of common challenges that require common effort. And I ran for President because I believed deeply that at this defining moment, the United States of America has aresponsibility to help in that effort, to forge new partnerships with the nations and the peoples of the world.No one expects the Games to solve all our collective challenges. But what we do believe -- what each and every one of you believe and what all of the Chicago delegation believes -- is that in a world where we've all too often witnessed the darker aspects of our humanity, peaceful competition between nations represents what's best about our humanity. It brings us together, if only for a few weeks, face to face. It helps us understand one another just a little bit better. It reminds us that no matter how or where we differ, we all seek our own measure of happiness, and fulfillment, and pride in what we do. That's a very powerful starting point for progress.Nearly one year ago, on a clear November night, people from every corner of the world gathered in the city of Chicago or in front of their televisions to watch the results of the U.S. Presidential election. Their interest wasn't about me as an individual. Rather, it was rooted in the belief that America's experiment in democracy still speaks to a set of universalaspirations and ideals. Their interest sprung from the hope that in this ever-shrinking world, our diversity could be a source of strength, a cause for celebration; and that with sustained work and determination, we could learn to live and prosper together during the fleeting moment we share on this Earth.Now, that work is far from over, but it has begun in earnest. And while we do not know what the next few years will bring, there is nothing I would like more than to step just a few blocks from my family's home, with Michelle and our two girls, and welcome the world back into our neighborhood.At the beginning of this new century, the nation that has been shaped by people from around the world wants a chance to inspire it once more; to ignite the spirit of possibility at the heart of the Olympic and Paralympic movement in a new generation; to offer a stage worthy of the extraordinary talent and dynamism offered by nations joined together -- to host games that unite us in noble competition and shared celebration of our limitless potential as a people.And so I urge you to choose Chicago. I urge you to choose America. And if you do, if we walk this path together, then I promise you this: The city of Chicago and the United States of America will make the world proud. Thank you so much.【稿件来自网络，个人翻译若有不当之处欢迎指正】罗格主席、先生们、女士们以及各位奥运会委员们：我来到这里只是作为一个普通的支持者，我以芝加哥为荣，我代表美国人民邀请大家2016年来到这里做客。

Well, we all need a reason to wake up. For me, it just took 11,000 volts.我们都需要一个醒来的理由。

对我来说是11,000伏特。

I know you're too polite to ask, so I will tell you.我知道你们太礼貌了不会过问，那就让我告诉你们。

One night, sophomore year of college, just back from Thanksgiving holiday, a few of my friends and I were horsing around, and we decided to climb atop a parked commuter train. It was just sitting there, with the wires that run overhead. Somehow, that seemed like a great idea at the time. We'd certainly done stupider things. I scurried up the ladder on the back, and when I stood up, the electrical current entered my arm, blew down and out my feet, and that was that. Would you believe that watch still works? Takes a licking!在大学二年级，感恩节假期后的一天晚上，我和几个朋友闹着玩儿，决定爬到一列停在一旁的通勤列车顶上。

它就停在那儿，缆线就在车顶上方。

不知为什么，这似乎在那个时候是一个好主意。

我们的确干过比这个还傻的事。

我从后面的梯子窜了上去，当我站起来的时候，一股电流进入了我的手臂，一直到我的脚下然后就这样了。

TED演讲：要为自己而活从出生就限定在了恒定的生命规律中了: 从孩提时期的好奇和禁锢。

到少年时代的不羁和烦恼。

再到步入成年的权威和里程碑。

最后迈入老年的德高望重。

托马斯曼曾经说过，生命有它自己的规律，这是所有人必经的历程，我将经历别人所经历的一起。

生命是一往不回的湍流，有的人被裹挟着漂流了很远，有的人太早的被冲上了岸。

这短途是生命的长度，而河流，是时光的长度。

曾经觉得无谓的记录连自己都懒得回味的话，是对自己拥有的时间的亵渎，然而那就像在岸边画的沙痕，一笔一道，即便最后还屈从于风的形状。

演讲者：Joshua Prager，心理学者TED演讲稿I'm turning 44 next month, and I have the sense that 44 is going to be a very good year, a year of fulfillment, realization. I have that sense, not because of anything particular in store for me, but because I read it would be a good year in a 1968 book by Norman Mailer.下个月我就44岁了，并且我觉得44岁将成为美好的一年，充满着实现和领悟的一年。

我有这种感觉，并不是因为什么特别的事，而是我从诺曼·梅勒在1968年写的书上看到的。

"He felt his own age, forty-four ..." wrote Mailer in "The Armies of the Night," "... felt as if he were a solid embodiment of bone, muscle, heart, mind, and sentiment to be a man, as if he had arrived.""44岁, 他感觉到了岁月无情，" 梅勒在《夜幕下的大军》中写到 "感觉到他自己就是骨头、肌肉、心、意识、情感组成的坚实的化身，就像他已经那个年纪了一样。

2016年米歇尔助选希拉里演讲稿（中英文）Thank you all. Thank you so much. You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.谢谢各位，谢谢。

真是令人难以置信，八年就这样过去了。

八年前，我第一次站在这个大会上告诉诸位，为什么我的丈夫应该成为总统。

Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House?大家还记得吗，我向你们介绍他的品质与信念，说着他的正派与慈悲，以及他在白宫为国操劳的每一天向我们展现的所有优点。

I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world. And during our time in the White House, we’ve had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women, a journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington. 我那时还向各位说起我们的女儿，说起她们是我们宝贝的心头肉，是我们眼里世界的中心。

（掌声）但是，有人让我要求你们注意保护草坪。

（笑声）我非常感谢校长的介绍。

今天我不想唱歌。

去做吧Just Do It亚特•威廉姆斯Art Williams我相信，渴望和必胜的信念就是一切。

我不知道，我是如何一步步走到今天的，但我始终充满激情。

我心中总有一个声音在说：我要实现这个目标，我要为之奋斗；我要成为一个大人物，所以我要闯出一番天地。

I believe desire and will to win is everything. I don't know why I'm like what I am now but I'm always burning. There's alwa ys something to say: I’ll get it done or just go for it. You choose to be somebody. You are supposed to make a difference with your life.有什么事情，是一个年收入多出五千美元的人做的，而一个年收入固定五万的人不去做的？从旁观者角度，你来比较这两个人。

一切都看起来是相同的。

他们性别一样，年龄相同，接受过同样的培训，担任的是一样的职位，签的是同样的合同，相同的薪酬福利，他们都很成功，同样努力工作，他们都是称职的家庭成员，都恪守承诺。

但区别在哪里呢？什么是一个年收入多出五千美元的人做的，而一个年收入固定五万的人不去做的？What does a five-more-thousand-dollars-a-year person do, the 50,000-dollars-a-year person doesn't do? You look outside. You study two individuals. Everything seems to be the same. They are both of the same sex, both of the same age, they have the same training, the same positions, the same contract, the same wage & benefit, they are both successful, they work hard, they are good family people, make tough commitments, but what's the difference? What does a five-more-thousand-dollars-a-year person do, and the 50,000-dollar person doesn't do?付出的多一点。

TED演讲稿中英文3分钟[小编推荐]第一篇：TED演讲稿中英文3分钟[小编推荐]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 of1990,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 reportson 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。

我就给iphone、ipodtouch、ipad做了一些应用程序，今天我就来给大家展示几个。

第一个应用叫做地球算命，它根据你的运势来改变地球的颜色。

我最有名、最成功的应用程序是比斯汀.贾伯，它是一个恶搞贾斯汀·比伯程序。

这是因为在我的学校里，许多人有点不喜欢贾斯汀·比伯。

所以我就开始做了这个应用了，开始编程，并在20XX年的暑假推出了我的作品。

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, my fellow Americans:议长先生、副总统先生、各位国会议员和美国同胞们：Tonight marks the eighth year I've come here to report on the State of the Union. And for this final one, I'm going to try to make it shorter. I know some of you are antsy to get back to Iowa.今晚是我在这里做国情咨文的第八个年头，也是最后一次。

我将尽量简而言之。

我知道你们中有些人急着回爱荷华州（译者注：两党党内预选进行地）。

I also understand that because it's an election season, expectations for what we'll achieve this year are low. Still, Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the constructive approach you and the other leaders took at the end of last year to pass a budget and make tax cuts permanent for working families. So I hope we can work together this year on bipartisan priorities like criminal justice reform, and helping people who are battling prescription drug abuse. We just might surprise the cynics again.我也理解此时正当大选之季，因此公众对我们今年成就的期望并不高。

拉加德演讲稿中英文口译Good morning!上午好！I am delighted to be back at the Center for Global Development, and I would like especially to thank Nancy Birdsall and Lawrence MacDonald for the warm welcome.很高兴再次来到全球发展中心，我要特别感谢南希·伯索尔和劳伦斯·麦克唐纳的盛情欢迎。

We all know that CGD combines top-notch intellectual firepower with deep-rooted concern for the world’s poorest people. It is an indispensible agent of economic development. Thank you, Nancy, Lawrence—and all of your colleagues—for the great work that you do.我们都知道，全球发展中心拥有顶尖人才，同时又深切关注世界最贫困人口。

它是经济发展的不可缺少的催化力量。

感谢南希、劳伦斯以及你们的所有同事开展的杰出工作。

As some of you might recall, I was last here two years ago in the run-up to the Rio+20 conference on sustainable development. Atthat time, I talked about the path to a sustainable future that would require us to overcome a triple crisis—an economic crisis, a social crisis, and an environmental crisis.你们可能记得，我上次来到这里是在“里约+20”可持续发展会议前夕。

TED演讲中英文本—《怎样从错误中学习》I have been teaching for a long time, andin doing so have acquired a body of knowledge about kids and learning that Ireally wish more people would understand about the potential of students. In1931, my grandmother -- bottom left for you guys over here -- graduated fromthe eighth grade. She went to school to get the information because that'swhere the information lived. It was in the books, it was inside the teacher'shead, and she needed to go there to get the information, because that's how youlearned.Fast-forward a generation: this is theone room schoolhouse, Oak Grove, where my father went to a one roomschoolhouse. And he again had to travel to the school to get theinformation from the teacher, store it in the only portable memory he has,which is inside his own head, and take it with him, because that is howinformation was being transported from teacher to student and then used in theworld. When I was a kid, we had a set of encyclopedias at my house. It was purchased the year Iwas born, and it was extraordinary, because I did not have to wait to go to thelibrary to get to the information; the information was inside my house and itwas awesome. This was different than either generation had experienced before,and it changed the way I interacted with information even at just a smalllevel. But the information was closer to me. I could getaccess to it.我已从事教学很长一段时间，在这个过程中，获得很多关于儿童和学习的知识，但我真的希望更多人能理解学生的潜能。
