The price of shameYou're looking at a woman who was publicly silent for a decade. Obviously, that's changed, but only recently.It was several months ago that I gave my very first major public talk at the Forbes 30 Under 30 summit:1,500 brilliant people, all under the age of 30. That meant that in 1998, the oldest among the group were only 14, and the youngest, just four. I joked with them that some might only have heard of me from rap songs. Yes, I'm in rap songs. Almost 40 rap songs.But the night of my speech, a surprising thing happened. At the age of 41, I was hit on by a 27-year-old guy. I know, right? He was charming and I was flattered, and I declined. You know what his unsuccessful pickup line was? He could make me feel 22 again. I realized later that night, I'm probably the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again.At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss, and at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences.Can I see a show of hands of anyone here who didn't make a mistake or do something they regretted at 22? Yep. That's what I thought. So like me, at 22, a few of you may have also taken wrong turns and fallen in love with the wrong person, maybe even your boss. Unlike me, though, your boss probably wasn't the president of the United States of America. Of course, life is full of surprises.Not a day goes by that I'm not reminded of my mistake, and I regret that mistake deeply.In 1998, after having been swept up into an improbable romance, I was then swept up into the eye of a political, legal and media maelstrom like we had never seen before. Remember, just a few years earlier,news was consumed from just three places: reading a newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, or watching television. That was it. But that wasn't my fate. Instead, this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution. That meant we could access all the information we wanted, when we wanted it, anytime, anywhere, and when the story broke in January 1998, it broke online. It was the first time the traditional news was usurped by the Internet for a major news story, a click that reverberated around the world.What that meant for me personally was that overnight I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide. I was patient zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.This rush to judgment, enabled by technology, led to mobs of virtual stone-throwers. Granted, it was before social media, but people could still comment online, email stories, and, of course, email cruel jokes. Newssources plastered photos of me all over to sell newspapers, banner ads online, and to keep people tuned to the TV. Do you recall a particular image of me, say, wearing a beret?Now, I admit I made mistakes, especially wearing that beret. But the attention and judgment that I received, not the story, but that I personally received, was unprecedented. I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and, of course, that woman. I was seen by many but actually known by few. And I get it: it was easy to forget that that woman was dimensional, had a soul, and was once unbroken.When this happened to me 17 years ago, there was no name for it. Now we call it cyberbullying and online harassment. Today, I want to share some of my experience with you, talk about how that experience has helped shape my cultural observations, and how I hope my past experience can lead to a change that results in less suffering for others.In 1998, I lost my reputation and my dignity. I lost almost everything, and I almost lost my life.Let me paint a picture for you. It is September of 1998. I'm sitting in a windowless office room inside the Office of the Independent Counsel underneath humming fluorescent lights. I'm listening to the sound of my voice, my voice on surreptitiously taped phone calls that a supposed friend had made the year before. I'm here because I've been legally required to personally authenticate all 20 hours of taped conversation. For the past eight months, the mysterious content of these tapes has hung like the Sword of Damocles over my head. I mean, who can remember what they said a year ago? Scared and mortified, I listen, listen as I prattle on about the flotsam and jetsam of the day; listen as I confess my love for the president, and, of course, my heartbreak; listen to my sometimes catty, sometimes churlish, sometimes silly self being cruel, unforgiving, uncouth; listen, deeply, deeply ashamed, to the worst version of myself,a self I don't even recognize.A few days later, the Starr Report is released to Congress, and all of those tapes and trans, those stolen words, form a part of it. That people can read the trans is horrific enough, but a few weeks later, the audio tapes are aired on TV, and significant portions made available online. The public humiliation was excruciating. Life was almost unbearable.This was not something that happened with regularity back then in 1998, and by this, I mean the stealing of people's private words, actions, conversations or photos, and then making them public -- public without consent, public without context, and public without compassion.Fast forward 12 years to 2010, and now social media has been born. The landscape has sadly become much more populated with instances like mine, whether or not someone actually make a mistake, and now it's for both public and private people. The consequences for some have become dire, very dire.I was on the phone with my mom in September of 2010, and we were talking about the news of a young college freshman from Rutgers University named Tyler Clementi. Sweet, sensitive, creative Tyler was secretly webcammed by his roommate while being intimate with another man. When the online world learned of this incident, the ridicule and cyberbullying ignited.A few days later, Tyler jumped from the George Washington Bridge to his death. He was 18.My mom was beside herself about what happened to Tyler and his family, and she was gutted with painin a way that I just couldn't quite understand, and then eventually I realized she was reliving 1998, reliving a time when she sat by my bed every night, reliving a time when she made me shower with the bathroom door open, and reliving a time when both of my parents feared that I would be humiliated to death,literally.Today, too many parents haven't had the chance to step in and rescue their loved ones. Too many have learned of their child's suffering and humiliation after it was too late. Tyler's tragic, senseless death was a turning point for me. It served to recontextualize my experiences, and I then began to look at the world of humiliation and bullying around me and see something different. In 1998, we had no way of knowing where this brave new technology called the Internet would take us. Since then, it has connected people in unimaginable ways, joining lost siblings, saving lives, launching revolutions, but the darkness, cyberbullying, and slut-shaming that I experienced had mushroomed. Every day online, people, especially young people who are not developmentally equipped to handle this, are so abused and humiliated that they can't imagine living to the next day, and some, tragically, don't, andthere's nothing virtual about that. ChildLine, a U.K. nonprofit that's focused on helping young people on various issues,released a staggering statistic late last year: From 2012 to 2013, there was an 87 percent increase in calls and emails related to cyberbullying. A meta-analysis done out of the Netherlands showed that for the first time, cyberbullying was leading to suicidal ideations more significantly than offline bullying. And you know what shocked me, although it shouldn't have, was other research last year that determined humiliation was a more intensely felt emotion than either happiness or even anger.Cruelty to others is nothing new, but online, technologically enhanced shaming isamplified, uncontained, and permanently accessible. The echo of embarrassment used to extend only as far as your family, village, school or community, but now it's the online community too. Millions of people, often anonymously, can stab you with their words, and that's a lot of pain, and there are no perimeters around how many people can publicly observe you and put you in a public stockade. There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the Internet has jacked up that price.For nearly two decades now, we have slowly been sowing the seeds of shame and public humiliation in our cultural soil, both on- and offline. Gossip websites, paparazzi, reality programming, politics, news outlets and sometimes hackers all traffic in shame. It's led to desensitization and a permissive environment online which lends itself to trolling, invasion of privacy, and cyberbullying. This shift has created what Professor Nicolaus Mills calls a culture of humiliation. Consider a few prominent examples just from the past six months alone. Snapchat, the service which is used mainly by younger generationsand claims that its messages only have the lifespan of a few seconds. You can imagine the range of content that that gets. A third-party app which Snapchatters use to preserve the lifespan of the messages was hacked, and 100,000 personal conversations, photos, and videos were leaked online to now have a lifespan of forever. Jennifer Lawrence and several other actors had their iCloud accounts hacked, and private, intimate, nude photos were plastered across the Internet without their permission.One gossip website had over five million hits for this one story. And what about the Sony Pictures cyberhacking? The documents which received the most attention were private emails that had maximum public embarrassment value.But in this culture of humiliation, there is another kind of price tag attached to public shaming. The price does not measure the cost to the victim, which Tyler and too many others, notably women, minorities,and members of the LGBTQ community have paid, but the price measures the profit of those who prey on them. This invasion of others is a raw material, efficiently and ruthlessly mined, packaged and sold at a profit. A marketplace has emerged where public humiliation is a commodity and shame is an industry.How is the money made? Clicks. The more shame, the more clicks. The more clicks, the more advertising dollars. We're in a dangerous cycle. The more we click on this kind of gossip, the more numb we get to the human lives behind it, and the more numb we get, the more we click. All the while, someone is making money off of the back of someone else's suffering. With every click, we make a choice. The more we saturate our culture with public shaming, the more accepted it is,the more we will see behavior like cyberbullying, trolling, some forms of hacking, and online harassment. Why? Because they all have humiliation at their cores. This behavior is a symptom of the culture we've created. Just think about it.Changing behavior begins with evolving beliefs. We've seen that to be true with racism, homophobia, and plenty of other biases, today and in the past. As we've changed beliefs about same-sex marriage, more people have been offered equal freedoms. When we began valuing sustainability, more people began to recycle. So as far as our culture of humiliation goes, what we need is a cultural revolution. Public shaming as a blood sport has to stop, and it's time for an intervention on the Internet and in our culture.The shift begins with something simple, but it's not easy. We need to return to a long-held value of compassion -- compassion and empathy. Online, we've got a compassion deficit, an empathy crisis.Researcher Brené Brown said, and I quote, "Shame can't survive empathy." Shame cannot survive empathy. I've seen some very dark days in my life, and it was the compassion and empathy from my family, friends, professionals, and sometimes even strangers that saved me. Even empathy from one person can make a difference. The theory of minority influence, proposed by social psychologist Serge Moscovici, says that even in small numbers, when there's consistency over time, change can happen. In the online world, we can foster minority influence by becoming upstanders. To become an upstander means instead of bystander apathy, we can post a positive comment for someone or report a bullying situation. Trust me, compassionate comments help abate the negativity. We can also counteract the culture by supporting organizations that deal with these kinds of issues, like the Tyler Clementi Foundation in the U.S., In the U.K., there's Anti-Bullying Pro, and in Australia, there's Project Rockit.We talk a lot about our right to freedom of expression, but we need to talk more about our responsibility to freedom of expression. We all want to be heard, but let's acknowledge the difference between speaking up with intention and speaking up for attention. The Internet is the superhighway for the id, but online, showing empathy to others benefits us all and helps create a safer and better world. We need to communicate online with compassion, consume news with compassion, and click with compassion. Just imagine walking a mile in someone else's headline. I'd like to end on a personal note. In the past nine months, the question I've been asked the most is why. Why now? Why was I sticking my head above the parapet? You can read between the lines in thosequestions, and the answer has nothing to do with politics.The top note answer was and is because it's time: time to stop tip-toeing around my past; time to stop living a life of opprobrium; and time to take back my narrative. It's also not just about saving myself. Anyone who is suffering from shame and public humiliation needs to know one thing: You can survive it.I know it's hard. It may not be painless, quick or easy, but you can insist on a different ending to your story. Have compassion for yourself. We all deserve compassion, and to live both online and off in a more compassionate world.Thank you for listening.莫妮卡·莱温斯基主讲人:莫妮卡莱温斯基主题:耻辱的代价时间:2015年3月19日主办:Ted大会【编者按】17年前白宫性丑闻事件的当事人,前白宫实习生莫妮卡莱温斯基在沉默了十年之后,走上Ted大会的讲台,呼吁抵制网络欺凌。
丘吉尔演讲稿英文Winston Churchill's Speech。
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great honor and humility that I stand before you today to address the pressing issues that face our nation and the world at large. As we stand on the precipice of uncertainty and peril, it is imperative that we gather our strength and resolve to confront the challenges that lie ahead.The world is currently embroiled in a great struggle, a struggle for freedom, for democracy, and for the very essence of humanity. We find ourselves facing an enemy that seeks to extinguish the light of liberty and impose its will upon the free peoples of the world. It is a time of great trial and tribulation, but it is also a time for courage and determination.In times such as these, it is essential that we draw upon the indomitable spirit that resides within each and every one of us. We must steel ourselves against the forces of tyranny and oppression, and we must stand firm in our commitment to the principles of justice and freedom. It is in moments of crisis that the true character of a nation is revealed, and it is in moments such as these that we must demonstrate our unwavering resolve.We must not falter in the face of adversity, nor should we succumb to the siren song of appeasement and compromise. We must be resolute in our defense of liberty, and we must be unwavering in our pursuit of justice. It is only through our steadfast determination and unwavering courage that we will be able to overcome the challenges that confront us.But let us not be mistaken, the road ahead will be arduous and fraught with peril. There will be times when the odds seem insurmountable, and there will be moments when the darkness threatens to overwhelm us. But it is in these moments that we must summon our inner strength and press forward with unwavering determination.In the words of the great poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson, "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Let these words be our rallying cry as we march forward into the fray, let them be the anthem that sustains us in our darkest hours. For it is only through our unyielding determination and unwavering courage that we will emerge victorious.In closing, I urge each and every one of you to stand firm in your convictions, to hold fast to the principles of freedom and justice, and to never waver in your commitment to the cause of liberty. Let us march forward with courage and determination, knowing that our cause is just and that our resolve is unbreakable.Thank you, and may God bless us in the trials that lie ahead.。

Almost 40 rap songs.几个月前,我在《福布斯》杂志举办的“30岁以下”峰会(Under 30 Summit)上发表了首次公开演讲。
现场1500位才华横溢的与会者都不到30岁。
这意味着1998年,他们中最年长的是14岁,而最年轻的只有4岁。
我跟他们开玩笑道,他们中有些人可能只在说唱歌曲里听到过我的名字。
是的,大约有40首说唱歌曲唱过我。
But the night of my speech, a surprising thing happened. At the age of 41, I was hit on by a 27-year-old guy. I know, right? He was charming and I was flattered, and I declin ed. You know what his unsuccessful pickup line was? He c ould make me feel 22 again. I realized later that night, I'm probably the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again. 但是,在我演讲当晚,发生了一件令人吃惊的事——我作为一个41岁的女人,被一个27岁的男孩示爱。

To become an upstander means instead of bystander apathy, we can post a positive comment for someone or report a bullying situation. Trust me, compassionate comments help abate the negativity. We can also counteract the culture by supporting organizations that deal with these kinds of issues, like the Tyler Clementi Foundation in the U.S., In the U.K., there's Anti-Bullying Pro, and in Australia, there's Project Rockit.19:51 We talk a lot about our right to freedom of expression, but we need to talk more about our responsibility to freedom of expression. We all want to be heard, but let's acknowledge the difference between speaking up with intention and speaking up for attention. The Internet is the superhighway for the id, but online, showing empathy to others benefits us all and helps create a safer and better world. We need to communicate online with compassion, consume news with compassion, and click with compassion. Just imagine walking a mile in someone else's headline. I'd like to end on a personal note. In the past nine months, the question I've been asked the most is why. Why now? Why was I sticking my head above the parapet? You can read between the lines in those questions, and the answer has nothing to do with politics. The top note answer was and is because it's time: time to stop tip-toeing around my past; time to stop living a life of opprobrium; and time to take back my narrative. 21:17 It's also not just about saving myself. Anyone who is suffering from shame and public humiliation needs to know one thing: You can survive it. I know it's hard. It may not be painless, quick or easy, but you can insist on a different ending to your story. Have compassion for yourself. We all deserve compassion, and to live both online and off in a more compassionate world.21:54 Thank you for listening.21:57 (Applause)。
莫妮卡·莱温斯基主讲人:莫妮卡莱温斯基主题:耻辱的代价时间:2015年3月19日主办:Ted大会【编者按】以下是澎湃新闻()对莱温斯基演讲内容的翻译:站在你们面前的是一个在大众面前沉默了十年之久的女人。
当然,现在情况不一样了,不过这只是最近发生的事。
莱温斯基参加一次演讲。
网络图片不想回到22岁几个月前,我在《福布斯》杂志举办的“30岁以下”峰会(Under 30 Summit)上发表了首次公开演讲。
现场1500位才华横溢的与会者都不到30岁。
这意味着1998年,他们中最年长的是14岁,而最年轻的只有4岁。
我跟他们开玩笑道,他们中有些人可能只在说唱歌曲里听到过我的名字。
是的,大约有40首说唱歌曲唱过我。
但是,在我演讲当晚,发生了一件令人吃惊的事——我作为一个41岁的女人,被一个27岁的男孩示爱。
我知道,这听上去不太可能对吧?他很迷人,说了很多恭维我的话,然后我拒绝了他。
你知道他为何搭讪失败吗?他说,他可以让我感到又回到了22岁。
后来,那晚我意识到,也许我是年过40岁的女人中唯一一个不想重返22岁的人。
22岁时,我爱上了我的老板;24岁的时,我饱受了这场恋爱带来的灾难性的后果。
现场的观众们,如果你们在22岁的时候没有犯过错,或者没有做过让自己后悔的事,请举起手好吗?是的,和我想的一样。
与我一样,22岁时,你们中有一些人也曾走过弯路,爱上了不该爱的人,也许是你们的老板。
但与我不同的是,你们的老板可能不会是美国总统。
当然,人生充满惊奇。
之后的每一天,我都会想起自己所犯的错误,并为之深深感到后悔。
饱受网络欺凌之苦1998年,在卷入一场不可思议的恋情后,我又被卷入了一场前所未有的政治、法律和舆论漩涡的中心。
记得吗?几年前,新闻一般通过三个途径传播:读报纸杂志、听广播、和看电视,仅此而已。
但我的命运并不是仅此而已。
这桩丑闻是通过数字革命传播的。
这意味着我们可以获取任何我们需要的信息,不论何时何地。
这则新闻在1998年1月爆发时,它也在互联网上火了。
My name is Monica Lewinsky. Though I have often been advisedto change it, or asked why on earth I haven't. But there we are,I haven't. I am still Monica Lewinsky.Overnight, I went from being a completely private figure to a publicl y humiliated one. I was patientzero. The first person to have their reputation completely destroyed worldwide via the Internet.When I ask myself how best to describe h ow the last 16 years have felt, I always came back tothat word: sham e. My own personal shame, shame that befell my family, and shame t hat befell mycountry, our country.When the report was released online on Sept 11,1998, I was holdup in a New York hotel room,staring at the compute r screen. I spent the day shouting "Oh my God" and "I can't believe t heyput that in", or "that's so out of context". And those were the only thoughts that interrupted arelentless mantra in my head: I want to di e.There was a rotation of worsening namecalling and descriptions of me. I would go online, readingthe paper,or see on TV, people referin g to me as tramp, slut, whore, tart, bimbo, floozie, evenspy. The New York Post's page 6 took to calling me almost daily the portly pepper pot. I wasshuttered.I lost my reputation. I was publicly identified as someone I didn't rec ognize. And I lost my sense ofself. Lost it, or had it stolen. Because i n a way it was a form of identity theft.Today, I think of myself as someone who, who the hell knows how, s urvived. Believe me, denialcan be pretty useful still. But these days, I need it less and less, and in smaller and smaller doses.But having s urvived myself, what I want to do now is help other victims of the sh ame gamessurvive too. I want to put my suffering to good use and to give purpopse to my past。

Ted Classic Speech (English Version)Title: Embrace the Challenge, Pursue ExcellenceHello everyone, I feel incredibly honored to stand on this podium and share my experiences and perspectives with all of you. I have gone through many difficulties and setbacks, but it is these experiences that shaped me into who I am today.We all have the desire to pursue excellence, but often, when faced with challenges and adversities, we give up on our dreams. However, the truth is, it isonly through challenging ourselves that we can discover our potential and achieve our goals.My life experiences have taught me that the key to success lies in how we handle challenges and adversities. We cannot avoid difficulties, but instead, we should face them head-on and strive to overcome them. Only when we constantly challenge ourselves and push beyond our comfort zones can we grow and achieve greater success.Each one of us has different talents and passions, but it is only through continuous effort and perseverance that we can turn these potentials into outstanding achievements. We need to clarify our goals and develop reasonable plans and strategies to work towards them.In the face of difficulties, we should mntn an optimistic mindset. Difficulties cannot defeat us; it is only ourselves who can decide whether to give up or not. We should believe in our abilities and persist in pursuing our dreams. Even in the face of flure, we should learn from it and keep moving forward.Lastly, I want to encourage everyone to constantly challenge themselves in the pursuit of excellence. Do not fear flure when faced with difficulties and adversities;instead, believe in your abilities and persevere. Only then can we achieve true success and fulfillment.Conclusion莱温斯基的演讲意味深长,他鼓励我们要不断挑战自我,追求卓越。
ted英文演讲稿:犯错的价值Good afternoon everyone,Today, I would like to talk about the value of making mistakes.As humans, we are designed to learn and grow from our experiences, including our mistakes. However, in our society, we often view mistakes as something to be ashamed of or avoid altogether. We have created a culture that emphasizes perfection and success, and any misstep along the way is seen as a failure. This mindset has prevented us from fully embracing the benefits that come with making mistakes.Mistakes provide us with the opportunity to learn and improve. When we make a mistake, we are forced to confront our weaknesses and assess the situation more thoroughly. This gives us the chance to reevaluate our choices and make adjustments that will lead to better outcomes in the future.In fact, some of the greatest achievements in human history were made as a result of mistakes. Penicillin, one of the most important antibiotics in modern medicine, was discovered by accident when scientist Alexander Fleming left a petri dish of bacteria uncovered. Thomas Edison, who famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work," made countless mistakes before inventing the light bulb. These examples show that mistakes can lead to breakthroughs that can change the world.On a personal level, mistakes can help shape one's character and build resilience. By facing and overcoming setbacks, we becomemore self-aware and develop a stronger sense of perseverance. These qualities are essential in both personal and professional settings, as they allow us to handle challenging situations and bounce back from failures.Furthermore, when we acknowledge and take responsibility for our mistakes, we show integrity and gain the trust of others. Admitting our faults and learning from them is a sign of maturity and humility. It also demonstrates a willingness to listen to feedback and take constructive criticism, which can only lead to growth and improvement.In conclusion, making mistakes has significant value. It allows us to learn, grow, innovate, and develop important character traits. We should not see mistakes as something to fear or avoid, but as opportunities to challenge ourselves and become better versions of ourselves. I encourage you all to embrace the value of mistakes in your personal and professional pursuits. Thank you.。
网络时代的背叛、冷漠与同情原文地址:网络时代的背叛、冷漠与同情作者:老兵冬雷前天在朋友圈里看到一个演讲视频《羞辱的代价》,演讲者是当年美国克林顿性丑闻案的女主人公:莫妮卡·莱温斯基。
这篇20分钟的演讲我听了四遍,然后决定把这篇演讲收入到我以后的口译教材里。
(演讲的链接和中文译文附在本文最后)。
我已经教授了整整十年的口译课,我的口译课的重点是培养流畅的逻辑表达。
一个人的语言表达和她的长相、举止一样是她外貌的一部分。
它比你的长相更能体现你的个人素养。
“沉着、坦然、自信、理性、清晰、流畅、连贯、简练、悦耳、幽默”的逻辑表达能力会让你在人堆里脱颖而出。
莱温斯基的这篇演讲完美地做到了上述十点。
她的幽默以自嘲为主,是美国人和美国英语中那种特有的幽默感。
但她的自嘲中更带有一种别样的辛酸、无奈和无助。
41岁她因为22岁时犯下的错误而蹉跎了最美好的青春。
那段错误的恋情本是她心中美好的一段回忆,不应公开、不必公开也不会公开。
这篇演讲扭转我对莱温斯基的原有印象。
所以我这篇文章要讲的不是对她演讲和语言技巧的具体分析,而它引发我思考的三个主题:背叛、冷漠、同情,我们在网络时代该如何面对这个世界。
一、背叛在莱温斯基看来,她爱上克林顿并发生性爱是一段浪漫故事。
她曾经描述过克林顿身上散发的那种强烈吸引力,所以她心甘情愿地成为他的秘密情人或者说性伴侣,因为他们之间的情感付出并不对等。
这一段恋情不正常,因为她是违反道德的。
这段恋情也正常,因为它不过是人的本性或本能。
但它完全是个人隐私,如果不被曝光也不会对任何别的人造成任何伤害。
这是一段让莱温斯基非常得意的恋情,毕竟她和美国总统有过一段恋情和性史。
得意忘形的她在与闺蜜的电话中把毫不掩饰地详细谈到了这段恋情,也谈到了她与克林顿的性爱。
年青、虚荣、轻狂、轻信的莱温斯基为此付出了惨痛的代价。
因为她无话不说的闺蜜把她的电话聊天进行了录音,录音总时间居然长达20个小时。
恐怖吗?你能想象你最好的朋友会把你告诉她的最私密的话进行录音吗?这太恐怖了。
英文原文Blood, Sweat And TearsWinston Churchill May 13, 1940On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration.It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties.I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of today'sproceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P. 's at the earliest opportunity.I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolutionThat this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any otherpoints-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or for mer colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act.I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.You ask, what is our policy I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.You ask, what is our aim I can answer in one word, It is victory. Victory at all costs-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.这是丘吉尔1940年5月13日在下院发表的首相就职演讲,内容大概如下:“我所能奉贤的,只有热血和辛劳,眼泪和汗水。
莱温斯基ted演讲稿站在你们面前的这个女性曾在公众面前沉默了十年。
显然,现在不一样了,不过这只是最近的事。
几个月前在福布斯”30位30岁以下创业者”峰会上,我首次公开发表演讲,峰会上有1500位杰出人士,全部不到30岁。
这就意味着在1998年,其中最年长的人也只有14岁,最年轻的则只有4岁。
我同他们开玩笑,有些人似乎只是从说唱音乐中听过我的名字。
没错,说唱音乐唱过我,几乎有40首这样的说唱音乐。
能否请大家举手告诉我,如果你觉得自己22岁时没有犯过错,没有做过让自己后悔的事,请举手?同我想的一样,和我一样,22岁那年,你们中的一些人大概也犯过错,爱上过错误的人,或许也正是你的老板。
不过和我不同,你的老板八成不是美国总统。
当然,生活充满了意外。
每一天我都被提醒这个错误,我每天都在深深后悔。
1998年在卷入一段不可能的爱情之后,我被卷入政治、法律和媒体的漩涡中心,一场前所未见的漩涡。
记得吧,就在几年前,新闻只有三个来源:读报刊杂志、听收音机和看电视,就这些了。
但我的命并没这么好,这起丑闻通过数字革命被公之于众。
数字革命意味着我们能获取所有想要的信息,不管何时何地。
丑闻在1998年1月被首次揭露就是通过互联网。
这是传统媒体第一次在重大事件报道上被因特网抢先,一个点击的声音响彻了全世界。
这种由科技促进的草率道德审判导致我在网络世界里被投石暴民围攻。
诚然,这是在社交媒体出现之前,不过人们还是可以在线评论,邮件转发故事,当然,也能转发残忍的笑话。
新闻媒体将我的照片贴得到处都是,借此销售报纸,为网站吸引广告商,为电视吸引眼球。
记得我那张照片吗?戴着贝雷帽的那张?我承认,我犯了错误,特别是不该戴那顶贝雷帽。
在关注故事之外,人们对我个人的关注和道德审判也是前所未有的,我被打上各种标签荡妇、妓女、母狗、婊子、贱人,当然还有“那个女人”。
很多人都看到了我,但很少有人了解我。
我明白,人们很容易忘记一个女人是多维度的,其实她也有灵魂,也曾是完好无缺的。
竭诚为您提供优质文档/双击可除莱温斯基ted演讲篇一:莱温斯基TeD演讲呼吁网络正能量莱温斯基TeD演讲呼吁网络正能量【观察者网杨晗轶译文】世界上多数年过四十的女性都愿意回到22岁,但3月19日的“TeD20XX:TruthandDare”(“真心话大冒险”)大会显然迎来了一位与众不同的演讲者。
这名披着过肩卷发、身着海蓝色衬衫和便装长裤的41岁女性一开场便突兀地说:“我22岁的时候,爱上了我的老板。
24岁时,我咽下了这场恋情带来的苦果。
”可想而知,这个最终赢得全场观众起立鼓掌的故事,绝没有落入“霸道总裁爱上我”之类的俗套。
除了拥有《网络欺凌:想象活在别人的新闻头条里》这样发人深省的题目外,另一个相当重要的原因恐怕是这场办公室恋情发生在世界权力中心之一——白宫。
是的,这位演讲者名叫莫妮卡·莱温斯基。
距离那场震撼世界的性丑闻被曝光已过去了近17年,在沉默了十年之后,当年那个与时任美国总统的比尔·克林顿传出桃色新闻的白宫实习生,如今显得自信、稳重,虽然相貌未改,但整体气质明显发生了变化。
1998年,一件沾有克林顿总统精液的蓝色洋装将“白宫拉链门”推向高潮,引发全球媒体地震。
即使多年后人们逐渐淡忘这桩丑闻;即使克林顿卸任总统职位后走穴演讲搞得风生水起;即使希拉里曾祝福自己的情敌“找到生命的意义与乐趣”,出身加利福尼亚州富裕犹太家庭的莱温斯基却从未真正平静过。
20XX年后,她淡出美国公众视线,在伦敦、洛杉矶、纽约和波特兰都生活过一段时间,却因名声狼藉很难找到跟自己专业对口的工作。
1998年的白宫性丑闻是最早在互联网上火起来的新闻之一。
莱温斯基表示,互联网使她本已遭受的屈辱严重了许多倍,因为它创造出一种可怕的文化,将他人的耻辱变为吸睛的利器,人们乐此不疲。
她说:“在被卷入一场荒唐的恋情后,我被拖入了政治、法律和舆论的漩涡中心,这是此前人们从未见过的??而这场丑闻的传播,需归功于数字革命。

抗议英雄英语演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen,。
Today, I stand before you as a proud citizen of this great nation to speak about a topic that is close to my heart protesting heroes. Throughout history, we have seen countless examples of individuals who have stood up against injustice, fought for the rights of the oppressed, and sacrificed their own well-being for the greater good. These individuals, these heroes, have inspired and empowered generations to come, and their actions have left a lasting impact on the world.First and foremost, it is important to recognize the courage and determination of these protesting heroes. They have faced adversity, persecution, and even physical harm in their pursuit of justice. From civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks to modern-day activists fighting for environmental sustainability and social equality, these individuals have shown unwavering bravery in the face of opposition. Their resilience and fearlessness serve as a testament to the power of the human spirit and the impact that one person can have on the world.Furthermore, protesting heroes have brought attention to important social and political issues that might have otherwise been overlooked. Through their actions, they have sparked conversations, raised awareness, and mobilized communities to demand change. Their willingness to speak out against injustice and inequality has paved the way for progress and has forced society to confront uncomfortable truths. Without their courage and determination, many of the rights and freedoms that we enjoy today would not have been possible.In addition, protesting heroes serve as role models for future generations. Their selfless acts of defiance and their unwavering commitment to their beliefs inspire others to stand up for what is right. They show us that ordinary individuals can make an extraordinary impact and that change is possible, no matter how daunting the odds may seem. By sharing their stories and the lessons they have learned, these heroes empower others to take action and become agents of change in their own communities.In conclusion, the world is indebted to the protesting heroes who have fearlessly fought for justice and equality. Their actions have shaped the course of history and have left an indelible mark on society. As we reflect on their legacy, let us remember the power of one person's voice and the impact that it can have. Let us honor their sacrifices by continuing to stand up for what is right and by working towards a more just and equitable world for all.Thank you.。
英语演讲稿Winston Churchill: Blood, Sweat AndTears政治演讲特辑之六:丘吉尔就职演讲Winston Churchill: Blood, Sweat And TearsOn Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration. It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties. I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight.

I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.

The resolution: “That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.”To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself.But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history.

I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, It is victory. Victory at all costs-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not besuffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, “Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.”。
Good morning. Today, I stand before you to talk about a subject that is deeply troubling and unsettling: the issue of suffering from violations. It is a topic that touches the lives of many individuals, and it is one that we cannot afford to ignore.In our world today, violations come in many forms. They can be physical, psychological, or emotional, and they can occur in any setting, from our homes to our workplaces, from our schools to our streets. They can be committed by individuals, groups, or even institutions, and they leave a lasting impact on the lives of those who suffer from them.Physical violations, such as assault, battery, and rape, are perhaps the most visible and immediate forms of suffering. They leave visible scars and long-lasting emotional damage. The victims of these crimes often struggle with feelings of fear, shame, and despair, and they may find it difficult to trust others or to feel safe in the world.Psychological violations, on the other hand, are less visible but just as damaging. These can include things like harassment, bullying, and emotional abuse. They can erode self-esteem, create feelings of worthlessness, and lead to depression and anxiety. The victims of psychological violations may feel isolated and alone, as if no one understands what they are going through.Emotional violations can also have a profound impact on individuals. These can include things like betrayal, neglect, and abandonment. They can leave victims feeling broken and unworthy, as if they have losttheir sense of self-worth. Emotional violations can be particularly difficult to overcome, as they often involve deep-seated issues that need to be addressed.The impact of violations on individuals is profound and far-reaching. They can lead to a range of negative outcomes, including physical and mental health problems, social isolation, and a diminished sense ofwell-being. In some cases, they can even lead to suicidal thoughts and actions.It is important to recognize that violations are not just the fault of the individuals who commit them. They are also a symptom of a larger problem, one that involves social, economic, and cultural factors. For example, gender-based violence is often rooted in deeply ingrained patriarchal attitudes that devalue women and perpetuate inequality.We must take a stand against violations in all their forms. We must work to create a world where everyone feels safe and respected, where no one is subjected to harm or exploitation. This means taking concrete steps to address the root causes of violations, including things like:- Educating individuals about the consequences of violence and the importance of respect and consent.- Strengthening laws and policies to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable.- Providing support services for victims, including counseling, legal assistance, and safe housing.- Promoting a culture of zero tolerance for violence and a commitment to social justice.In conclusion, suffering from violations is a serious issue that affects the lives of many individuals. We must not turn a blind eye to this problem. Instead, we must take action to address it, to create a world where everyone can live free from fear and harm. Thank you.。
The Prices of ShameYou are looking at a woman who was publicly silent for a decade. Obviously, that’s changed, but only recently.It was several months ago that I gave my very first major public talk at the Forbes 30 Under 30 summit: 1,500 brilliant people, all under the age of 30. That meant that in 1998,the oldest among the group were only 14,and the youngest, just 4. I joked with them that some might only have heard of me from rap songs. Yes, I’m in rap songs. Almost 40 rap songs.But the night of my speech, a surprising thing happened. At the age of 41, I was hit on by a 27-year-old guy. I know, right? He was charming and I was flattered, and I declined. You know what his unsuccessful pickup line was? He could make me feel 22 again. I realized later that night, I’m probably the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again.At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss, and at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences. Can I see a show of hands of anyone here who didn’t make s mistake or do something they regretted at 22? Yep. That’s what I thought. So like me, at 22, a few of you may have also wrong turns and fallen in love with the wrong person, maybe even your boss. Unlike me though, your boss probably wasn’t the president of the United States of America. Of course life is full of surprise.Not a day goes by that I’m not reminded of my mistake, and I regret that mistake deeply. In 1998, after having been swept up into an improbable romance, I was the swept up into the eye of a political, legal and media maelstrom like we had never seen before. Remember, just a few years earlier, news was consumed from just three places: reading a newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, or watching television. That was it.But that wasn’t my fate. Instead, this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution. That meant we could access all the information we wanted.,when we want it, anytime, anywhere, and when the story broke in January 1998. It broke online. It was the first time the traditional news was usurped by the internet for a major news story, a click that reverberated around the world.What that meant for me personally was that overnight I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide. I was patient zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously. This rush by judgment, enabled by technology, led to mobs of virtual stone-throwers. Granted, it was before social media, but people could still comment online, email stories, and, of course, email cruel jokes. News sources plastered photos of me all over to sell newspaper, banner ads online, and to keep people tuned to the TV.Do you recall a particular image of me, say, wearing a beret? Now, I admit I made mistakes,especially wearing that beret. But the attention and judgment that I received, not the story, but that I personally received, was unprecedented. I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and of course, that woman. I was seen by many but actually known by few. And I get it: it was easy to forget that woman was dimensional, had a soul, and was once unbroken.When this happened to me 17 years ago, there was no name for it. Now we call it cyberbullying and online harassment. Today, I want to share some of my experience with you, talk about how that experience has helped shape my cultural observations, and how I hope my past experience can lead to a change that result in less suffering for others.In 1998, I lost my reputation and my dignity. I lost almost everything, and I almost lost my life. Let me paint a picture for you. It is September of 1998; I’m sitting in a windowless office room inside the office of the independent counsel underneath humming fluorescent lights. I’m listening to the sound of my voice, my voice on surreptitiously taped phone calls that a supposed friend had made the year before. I’m here because I’ve been legally required to personally authenticate all 20 hours of taped conversation. For the past eight months, the mysterious content of these tapes has hung like the Sword of Damocles over my head. I mean, who can remember what they said a year ago? Scared and mortified, I listen, listen as I prattle on about the flotsam and jetsam of the day; listen as I confess my love for the president, and of course, my heartbreak; listen to my sometimes catty, sometimes churlish, sometimes silly self being cruel, unforgiving, uncouth; listen, deeply, deeply ashamed, to the worse version of myself, a self I don’t even recognize.A few days later, the Starr Report is released to Congress, and all of those tapes and transcripts, those stolen words, form a part of it. That people can read the transcripts is horrific enough, but a few weeks later, the audio tapes are aired on TV, and significant portions made available online. The public humiliation was excruciating. Life was almost unbearable.This was not something that happened with regularity back then in 1998, and by this, I mean the stealing of people’s private words, actions, conversations or photos, and then making them public—public without consent, public without context, and public without compassion.Fast forward 12 year to 2010, and now social media has been born. The landscape has sadly become much more populated with instances like mine, whether or not someone actually makes a mistake, and now it’s for both public and private people. The consequences for some have become dire, very dire. I was on the phone with my mom in September of 2010, and we were talking about the news of a young college freshman from Rutgers University named Tyler Clementi. Sweet, sensitive, creative Tyler was secretly webcammed by his roommate while being intimate with another man. When the online world learned of this incident, the ridicule and cyberbullying ignited. A few days later, Tyler jumped form the George Washington Bridge to his death. He was 18. My mom was beside herself about what happened to Tyler and his family, and she was gutted with pain in a way that I just couldn’tquite understand, and then eventually I realized she was reliving 1998, reliving a time when she sat by my bed every night, reliving a time when she made me shower with the bathroom open, and reliving a time when both of my parents feared that I would be humiliated to death, literally.Today, too many parents haven’t had the chance to step in and rescue their loved ones. Too many have learned of their child’s suffering and humiliation after it was too late. Tyler’s tragic, senseless death was a turning point for me. It served to recontextualize my experiences, and I began to look at the world of humiliation and bullying around me and see something different.In 1998, we had no way of knowing where the brave new technology called the internet would take us. Since then, it has connected people in unimaginable ways, joining lost siblings, saving lives, launching revolution, but the darkness, cyberbullying, and slut-shaming that I experienced had mushroomed. Every day online, people, especially young people who are not developmentally equipped to handle this, are so abused and humiliated that they can’t imagine living to the next day, and some, tragically, don’t, and there’s nothing virtual about that.ChildLine, a U.K. nonprofit that’s focused on helping young people on various issues, released a staggering statistic late last year: From 2012 to 2013, there was an 87 percent increase in calls and emails related to cyberbullying. A meta-analysis done out of the Netherlands showed that for the first time, cyberbullying was leading to suicidal ideations more significantly than offline bullying. And you know what shocked me ,although it shouldn’t have, was other research last year that determined humiliation was a more intensely felt emotion than either happiness or even anger.Cruelty to other is nothing new, but online, technologically enhanced shaming is amplified, uncontained, and permanently accessible. The echo of embarrassment used to extend only as far as your family, village, school or community, but now it’s the online community too. Millions of people, often anonymously, can stab you with their words, and that’s a lot of pain, and there are no perimeters around how many people can publicly observe you and put you in a public stockade. There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and growth of the Internet has jacked up that price.For nearly two decades now, we have slowly been sowing the seeds of shame and public humiliation in our cultural soil, both on-and offline. Gossip websites, paparazzi, reality programming, politics, news outlets and sometimes hackers all traffic in shame. It’s led to desensitization and a permissive environment online which lends itself to trolling, invasion of privacy, and cyberbullying. This shift has created what Professor Nicolaus Mills calls a culture of humiliation. Consider a few prominent examples just from the past six months alone. Snapchat, the service which is used mainly by younger generations and claims that its messages only have the lifespan of a few seconds. You can imagine the range of content that gets. A third-party app which Snapchatters use to preserve the lifespan of the messages were hacked, and 100,000 personal conversations, photos, and videos were leaked online tonow have a lifespan of forever.Jennifer Lawrence and several other actors had their iCloud accounts hacked, and private, intimate, nude photos were plastered across the Internet without their permission. One gossip website had over five million hits for this one story. And what about the Sony Pictures cyberhacking? The document which received the most attention was private emails that had maximum public embarrassment value. But in this culture humiliation, there another kind of price tag attached to public shaming. The price does not measure the cost to the victim, which Tyler and too many others, notably women, minorities, and members of the LGBTQ community have paid, but the price measure the profit of those who prey on them.This invasion of others is a raw material, efficiently and ruthlessly mined, packaged and sold at a profit. A marketplace has emerged where public humiliation is a community and shame is an industry. How is the money made? Clicks. The more shame the more clicks. The more clicks the more advertising dollars. We are in a dangerous cycle. The more we click on this kind of gossip, the more numb we get to the human lives behind it, and the more numb we get the more we click. All the while, someone is making money off the back of someone else’s suffering.With every click, we make a choice. The more we saturate our culture with public shaming, the more we will see behavior like cyberbullying, trolling, some forms of hacking, and online harassment. Why? Because they all have humiliation at their cores. This behavior is a symptom of the culture we’ve created. Just think about it.Changing behavior begins with evolving beliefs. We’ve seen that be true with racism, homophobia, and plenty of other biases, today and in the past. As we’ve changed beliefs about same-sex marriage, more people have been offered equal freedoms. When we began valuing sustainability more people began to recycle. So as far as our culture of our humiliation goes, what we need is a cultural revolution. Public shaming as a blood sport has to stop, and it’s time for an intervention on the Internet and in our culture. The shift began with something simple, but it’s not easy. We need to return to a long-held value of compassion—compassion and empathy.Online, we’ve got a compassion deficit, and empathy crisis. Researcher Brene Brown said, and I quote, “Shame can’t survive empathy.”Shame can’t survive empathy. I’ve seen some very dark days in my life, it was compassion and empathy from my family, friends, professionals, and sometimes even strangers that saved me. Even empathy from one person can make difference.The theory of minority influence proposed by social psychologist Serge Moscovici, says that even in small numbers, when there’s consistency over time, change can happen, in the online world, we can foster minority influence by becoming upstanders. To become a upstander means instead of bystander apathy, we can post a positive comment for someoneor report a bullying situation.Trust me, compassionate comments help abate the negativity. We can also counteract the culture by supporting organizations that deal with this kind of issues, like the Tyler Clementi Foundation from the U.S. In the U.K. there’s Anti-bullying Pro, and in Australia, there’s Project Rockit. We talk a lot about our right to freedom of expression, but we need to talk more about our responsibility to freedom of expression. We all wanna be heard, but let’s acknowledge the difference between speaking up with intention and peaking up for attention.The Internet is the superhighway for the id, but online, showing empathy to others benefits us all and helps create a safer and better world. We need to communicate online with compassion, consume news with compassion, and click with compassion. Just imagine walking a mile in someone else’s headline,.I’d like to end on a personal note. In the past nine months, the question I had been asked most is why, why now, why was I sticking my head above the parapet? You can read between the lines in those questions, and answer is nothing to do with the politics. The top note answer was and is because it’s time; stop tip-toeing around my past; time to stop living a life of opprobrium; and time to take back my narrative. It’s also not just about saving myself,. Anyone who is suffering from shame and public humiliation needs to know one thing; you can survive it. i know it’s hard. It may not be painless, quick or easy, but you can insist on a different ending to your story. Have compassion to yourself. We all deserve compassion. And to live both online and off in a more compassionate world.Thank you for listening.。
