ted演讲稿4篇

last year when i was here, i was speaking to you about a swim which i did across the north pole.去年,当我站在这里的时候,我在谈论我横跨北极的游泳。

and while that swim took place three years ago, i can remember it as if it was yesterday.那还是发生在3年前,对我则好像是昨天一般。

i remember standing on the edge of the ice, about to dive into the water, and thinking to myself, i have never ever seen any place on this earth which is just so frightening.我还记得我站在冰层的边缘,就要扎进水里,然后我自己想到,我再也再也不要看到地球上的这个地方,这里是如此的让人恐惧。

the water is completely black.the water is minus 1.7 degrees centigrade, or 29 degrees fahrenheit.it's flipping freezing in that water.

那里的水是全黑色。水的温度是负1.7摄氏度,华氏29度。那水里就是翻动的冰块。

and then a thought came across my mind: if things go pear-shaped on this swim, how long will it take for my frozen body to sink the four and a half kilometers to the bottom of 1 / 54

the ocean?然后一个念头在我脑中划过:如果这场泳出了点问题,我这冰冻的身体要花多长时间才能沉到这4500米的底部呢?

and then i said to myself, i've just got to get this thought out of my mind as quickly as possible.然后我告诫我自己,我要把这个念头尽快的抛在我的脑后。

and the only way i can dive into that freezing cold water and swim a kilometer is by listening to my ipod and really revving myself up,能让我扎入这冰冷的水里然后游了4千米的唯一方法就是听着我的ipod,让我自己全力运转起来,

listening to everything from beautiful opera all the way across to puff daddy, and then committing myself a hundred percent -- there is nothing more powerful than the made-up mind --and then walking up to the edge of the ice and just diving into the water.

我听了所有的歌,从华丽的歌剧到吹牛老爹,然后全身心的投入没有什么比下定决心还要厉害的 --然后走到冰的边缘扎入水里。 and that swim took me 18 minutes and 50 seconds, and it felt like 18 days.这次游泳花了我 18分50秒,但好像是18天一样。 and i remember getting out of the water and my hands feeling so painful and looking down at my fingers, and my fingers were literally the size of sausages because -- you know, we're made 2 / 54

partially of water -- when water freezes it expands, and so the cells in my fingers had frozen and expandedand burst.

我记得当我从水里出来时我的手时如此的疼痛然后我看着我的手指,我的手指真的像香肠一样粗,因为--你们知道了,我们身体一部分由水组成 -- 当水结冰时会膨胀,这样我手指的里细胞就冷冻了,膨胀了炸裂了。and the most immediate thought when i came out of that water was the following: i'm never, ever going to do another cold water swim in my life again.我从水里上岸的一瞬间的想法时这样的:我一生中再也再也不要去在冰冷的水里游泳了。

anyway, last year, i heard about the himalayas and the melting of the -- (laughter) and the melting of the glaciers because of climate change.就这样,去年,我听到了喜马拉雅山以及那里融化的--(笑) 因为气候变化所融化的冰川。

i heard about this lake, lake imja.我听说了这个湖泊,映佳湖。

this lake has been formed in the last couple of years because of the melting of the glacier.这个湖是几年前由于冰川融化所形成的。

the glacier's gone all the way up the mountain and left in its place this big lake.这些冰川顺山而下然后在这里留下了这3 / 54

个大湖。

and i firmly believe that what we're seeing in the himalayas is the next great, big battleground on this earth.由此我坚信我要去看见的喜马拉雅就是我下一个在地球上的战场。

nearly two billion people -- so one in three people on this earth -- rely on the water from the himalayas.将近20亿的人口 -- 世界上三分之一的地球人口 -- 依靠着喜马拉雅山的水源。

and with a population increasing as quickly as it is, and with the water supply from these glaciers -- because of climate change --decreasing so much, i think we have a real risk of instability.而世界人口照这个速度发展下去,而冰川水源的提供-- 由于气候的变化 --下降的如此之快,我像我们就有了一个十分不稳定的威胁。

north, you've got china; south, you've india, pakistan, bangladesh, all these countries.北方,我们由中国;南方,我们有印度,巴基斯坦,孟加拉,和其它所有国家。

and so i decided to walk up to mt. everest, the highest mountain on this earth, and go and do a symbolic swim underneath the summit of mt. everest.这样我决定了登上珠峰,地球上的最高峰,如何在珠峰下游一次具有象征意义的泳。

now, i don't know if any of you have had the opportunity 4 / 54

to go to mt. everest, but it's quite an ordeal getting up there.我不知道,你们是否有机会去珠峰,但是要去那的话,是一个考验。 28 great, big, powerful yaks carrying all the equipment up onto this mountain -- i don't just have my speedo, but there's a big film crew who then send all the images around the world.28只巨大的牦牛载着所有的仪器登上山峰 -- 我不仅仅带这我的泳裤。还有一个摄像团队这个摄像团队,会向世界各地直播。

the other thing which was so challenging about this swim is not just the altitude.这次游泳的挑战不仅仅只有海拔。

i wanted to do the swim at 5,300 meters above sea level.我想做的是在5300米的海平面上游泳。

so it's right up in the heavens.所以直达天堂。

it's very, very difficult to breath. you get altitude sickness.这里呼吸十分,十分困难。你会有高原反应。

i feels like you've got a man standing behind you with a hammer just hitting your head all the time.你会感到有一个人不停的那着一把锤子在敲你的后脑勺。

that's not the worst part of it.这还不是最差的。

the worst part was this year was the year where they decided to do a big cleanup operation on mt. everest.最糟糕的是,这一年他们决定在珠峰上做一个大扫除。

5 / 54

many, many people have died on mt. everest, and this was the year they decided to go and recover all the bodies of the mountaineers and then bring them down the mountain.许多人死在珠峰上,然后今年,他们决定收回珠峰上所有的尸体然后把他们带下山。

and when you're walking up the mountain to attempt to do something which no human has ever done before, and, in fact, no fish -- there are no fish up there swimming at 5,300 meters --而当你想上山做一些事情一些没有人做过的事情,事实上,鱼都没游过。在5300米的海拔高度上,没有任何鱼在那里游过。

when you're trying to do that, and then the bodies are coming past you, it humbles you, and you also realize very, very clearly that nature is so much more powerful than we are.当你尝试着去做这些事情,然后你看到这些尸体和你擦肩而过,这让人不禁有些气馁,也让你就会清晰的认识到自然比我们要强大多了。 and we walked up this pathway, all the way up.然后我们就沿着这条路一直走上去。

and to the right hand side of us was this great khumbu glacier.然后在我们的右手边是巨大的昆布冰川。

and all the way along the glacier we saw these big pools of melting ice.然后,我们在沿路经过所看到的冰川的都是一大块6 / 54

融化的冰块。

and then we got up to this small lake underneath the summit of mt. everest, and i prepared myself the same way as i've always prepared myself,for this swim which was going to be so very difficult.然后我们到达在珠峰下的一个小湖这然后我开始准备自己,像往常一样准备自己,因为这样的游泳方式会是十分艰难的。

i put on my ipod, i listened to some music, i got myself as aggressive as possible -- but controlled aggression -- and then i hurled myself into that water.我带上我的ipod, 我听听歌,我让我能有多激奋就多激奋-- 但是是可以控制的激奋 -- 然后我把我自己扎进水里。

i swam as quickly as i could for the first hundred meters, and then i realized very, very quickly, i had a huge problem on my hands.我尽力的游着最起码在前一百米,然后,我突然意识到,我面临一个巨大的问题。

i could barely breathe.我几乎不能呼吸。i was gasping for air.我喘了一口气。i then began to choke, and then it quickly led to me vomiting in the water.然后我开始呛水了,这导致我在水里呕吐。

and it all happened so quickly: i then -- i don't know how it happened -- but i went underwater.这一切发生的如此之快然7 / 54

后 -- 我不知到是怎么发生的 -- 但是我沉入水底。

and luckily, the water was quite shallow, and i was able to push myself off the bottom of the lake and get up and then take another gasp of air.但幸运的是,水比较的浅,我可以从湖底跳起来然后喘另一口气。

and then i said, carry on. carry on. carry on.然后我说道,坚持,坚持,坚持。

i carried on for another five or six strokes, and then i had nothing in my body, and i went down to the bottom of the lake.我继续划了五到六下水,然后我就筋疲力尽了,我沉入湖底。 and i don't where i got it from, but i was able to somehow pull myself up and as quickly as possible get to the side of the lake.但是我不知从哪来的力气,我可以就这样把自己从湖底以最快的速度弄到湖的岸边。

i've heard it said that drowning is the most peaceful death that you can have.我听说过溺水是你可以死的最安详的方式。

i have never, ever heard such utter bollocks.我从来没有听过这样的胡说八道。

(laughter) it is the most frightening and panicky feeling that you can have.(笑) 这是你们所感受过的最恐惧,最惊慌的感觉。

8 / 54

i got myself to the side of the lake.我把我自己拽到湖岸。 my crew grabbed me, and then we walked as quickly as we could down -- over the rubble -- down to our camp.我的队友抓住了我,然后我们以最快的速度下山--在碎石中-- 到达我们的营地。

and there, we sat down, and we did a debrief about what had gone wrong there on mt. everest.在那里,我们坐下来,然后我们做了一下在珠峰哪里出错的报告。

and my team just gave it to me straight.然后我的队员直接告诉我。

they said, lewis, you need to have a radical tactical shift if you want to do this swim.他们说道,lewis, 你要有一个剧烈的战术变化如果你想完成这个游泳。

every single thing which you have learned in the past 23 years of swimming, you must forget.你必须忘掉在23年里所学到的游泳里所有的东西。

every single thing which you learned when you were serving in the british army, about speed and aggression, you put that to one side.以及忘掉你在英国部队里所学习的,关于那些速度和激奋,你要先放在一旁。

we want you to walk up the hill in another two days' time.我们想让你花两天走上山。

9 / 54

take some time to rest and think about things.花点时间休息和思考。

we want you to walk up the mountain in two days' time, and instead of swimming fast, swim as slowly as possible.instead of swimming crawl, swim breaststroke.我们想让你花两天走上山。不要游的太快,但是慢慢的游。不用自由泳,但是用蛙泳。

and remember, never ever swim with aggression.然后记住,不要游太激奋。

this is the time to swim with real humility.是时候谦逊地去游泳了。

and so we walked back up to the mountain two days later.所以我们又走了回去两天后回到山峰下。

and i stood there on the edge of the lake, and i looked up at mt. everest -- and she is one of the most beautiful mountains on the earth --我站在那在湖的边缘,然后望向珠峰 -- 她是地球上最美丽的山峰之一 --

and i said to myself, just do this slowly.我就像这样慢慢的对我自己说道。

and i swam across the lake.然后我游过了这个湖泊。

and i can't begin to tell you how good i felt when i came to the other side.我无法告诉你们当我到达湖的另一边时我感觉10 / 54

有多好。

but i learned two very, very important lessons there on mt. everest, and i thank my team of sherpas who taught me this.但是我从珠峰学习到两个十分,十分重要的教训。我十分感谢我队伍中的夏尔巴告诉了我这些。

the first one is that just because something has worked in the past so well, doesn't mean it's going to work in the future.第一个就是一个事情无论原来是怎样的,并不代表在未来就会怎样。 and similarly, now, before i do anything, i ask myself what type of mindset do i require to successfully complete a task.相同的,现在,在我做一件事情之前,我问到我自己,我需要怎样的一种态度才能成功的完成我的任务。

and taking that into the world of climate change -- which is, frankly, the mt. everest of all problems -- just because we've lived the way we have lived for so long,just because we have consumed the way we have for so long and populated the earth the way we have for so long, doesn't mean that we can carry on the way we are carrying on.然后这样来想一想气候变化,那是,说实话,珠峰和其他所有的问题-- 不能因为我们已经像这样生活了这么长时间,不能因为我们已经像这样消费了那么长时间不能因为我们像这样人口增长了这么长时间,就意味着我们可以这样像以往11 / 54

一样坚持下去。

the warning signs are all there.警告信号就在那。

when i was born, the world's population was 3.5 billion people.当我出生时,世界的人口只有35亿。

we're now 6.8 billion people, and we're expected to be 9 billion people by 2050.现在有68亿然后我们预计在2050年有 90亿。

and then the second lesson, the radical, tactical shift.这里就有第二个教训,剧烈的战术改变。

and i've come here to ask you today: what radical tactical shift can you take in your relationship to the environment, which will ensure我今天来到这里问你们:你在你的环境里能做出怎样的剧烈的战术转变才能保证

that our children and our grandchildren live in a safe world and a secure world, and most importantly, in a sustainable world?我们的子孙能居住在一个安全的一个保险的世界,最重要的是,一个可持续发展的世界?

and i ask you, please, to go away from here and think about that one radical tactical shift which you could make, which will make that big difference,然后我要求你,请你们,从这里出发然后想象你要做怎样的激进的战术变化,才能做出巨大的改变,

12 / 54

and then commit a hundred percent to doing it.如何下定决心去做。

blog about it, tweet about it, talk about it, and commit a hundred percent, because very, very few things are impossible to achieve if we really put our whole minds to it.些关于这些变化的博客,微博,谈论一下,然后全身心投入。因为如果我们全身心投入,只有很少事情是不可能的。

so thank you very, very much.所以,十分感谢你们。

TED英语演讲稿:如何让选择更容易ted演讲稿(2) | 简介:面对商场里五花八门的商品,你的选择恐惧症又犯了吗? 美国哥伦比亚大学商学教授sheena iyengar研究如何让你在做选择时更容易。为了让你的选择省时省力,商家又会有哪些诀窍呢?

do you know how many choices you make in a typical day? do you know how many choices you make in typical week? i recently did a survey with over 2,000 americans, and the average number of choices that the typical american reports making is about 70 in a typical day. there was also recently a study done with ceos in which they followed ceos around for a whole week. and these scientists simply documented all the various tasks that these ceos engaged in and how much time they spent engaging in making decisions related to these tasks. and they found that 13 / 54

the average ceo engaged in about 139 tasks in a week. each task was made up of many, many, many sub-choices of course. 50 percent of their decisions were made in nine minutes or less. only about 12 percent of the decisions did they make an hour or more of their time. think about your own choices. do you know how many choices make it into your nine minute category versus your one hour category? how well do you think you're doing at managing those choices?

today i want to talk about one of the biggest modern day choosing problems that we have, which is the choice overload problem. i want to talk about the problem and some potential solutions. now as i talk about this problem, i'm going to have some questions for you and i'm going to want to know your answers. so when i ask you a question, since i'm blind, only raise your hand if you want to burn off some calories. (laughter) otherwise, when i ask you a question, and if your answer is yes, i'd like you to clap your hands. so for my first question for you today: are you guys ready to hear about the choice overload problem? (applause) thank you.

so when i was a graduate student at stanford university,

i used to go to this very, very upscale grocery store; at least

14 / 54

at that time it was truly upscale. it was a store called draeger's. now this store, it was almost like going to an amusement park. they had 250 different kinds of mustards and vinegars and over 500 different kinds of fruits and vegetables and more than two dozen different kinds of bottled water -- and this was during a time when we actually used to drink tap water.

i used to love going to this store, but on one occasion i asked myself, well how come you never buy anything? here's their olive oil aisle. they had over 75 different kinds of olive oil, including those that were in a locked case that came from thousand-year-old olive trees.

so i one day decided to pay a visit to the manager, and i asked the manager, "is this model of offering people all this choice really working?" and he pointed to the busloads of tourists that would show up everyday, with cameras ready usually. we decided to do a little experiment, and we picked jam for our experiment. here's their jam aisle. they had 348 different kinds of jam. we set up a little tasting booth right near the entrance of the store. we there put out six different flavors of jam or 24 different flavors of jam, and we looked at two things: first, in which case were people more likely to 15 / 54

stop, sample some jam? more people stopped when there were 24, about 60 percent, than when there were six, about 40 percent. the next thing we looked at is in which case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam. now we see the opposite effect. of the people who stopped when there were 24, only three percent of them actually bought a jar of jam. of the people who stopped when there were six, well now we saw that 30 percent of them actually bought a jar of jam. now if you do the math, people were at least six times more likely to buy a jar of jam if they encountered six than if they encountered 24.

now choosing not to buy a jar of jam is probably good for us -- at least it's good for our waistlines -- but it turns out that this choice overload problem affects us even in very consequential decisions. we choose not to choose, even when it goes against our best self-interests. so now for the topic of today: financial savings. now i'm going to describe to you a study i did with gur huberman, emir kamenica, wei jang where we looked at the retirement savings decisions of nearly a million americans from about 650 plans all in the u.s. and what we looked at was whether the number of fund offerings available in a retirement savings plan, the 401(k) plan, does that affect 16 / 54

people's likelihood to save more for tomorrow. and what we found was that indeed there was a correlation. so in these plans, we had about 657 plans that ranged from offering people anywhere from two to 59 different fund offerings. and what we found was that, the more funds offered, indeed, there was less participation rate.

so if you look at the extremes, those plans that offered you two funds, participation rates were around in the mid-70s -- still not as high as we want it to be. in those plans that offered nearly 60 funds, participation rates have now dropped to about the 60th percentile. now it turns out that even if you do choose to participate when there are more choices present, even then, it has negative consequences. so for those people who did choose to participate, the more choices available, the more likely people were to completely avoid stocks or equity funds. the more choices available, the more likely they were to put all their money in pure money market accounts. now neither of these extreme decisions are the kinds of decisions that any of us would recommend for people when you're considering their future financial well-being.

well, over the past decade, we have observed three main 17 / 54

negative consequences to offering people more and more choices. they're more likely to delay choosing -- procrastinate even when it goes against their best self-interest. they're more likely to make worse choices -- worse financial choices, medical choices. they're more likely to choose things that make them less satisfied, even when they do objectively better. the main reason for this is because, we might enjoy gazing at those giant walls of mayonnaises, mustards, vinegars, jams, but we can't actually do the math of comparing and contrasting and actually picking from that stunning display. so what i want to propose to you today are four simple techniques -- techniques that we have tested in one way or another in different research venues -- that you can easily apply in your businesses.

the first: cut. you've heard it said before, but it's never been more true than today, that less is more. people are always upset when i say, "cut." they're always worried they're going to lose shelf space. but in fact, what we're seeing more and more is that if you are willing to cut, get rid of those extraneous redundant options, well there's an increase in sales, there's a lowering of costs, there is an improvement of the choosing experience. when proctor & gamble went from 26 18 / 54

different kinds of head & shoulders to 15, they saw an increase in sales by 10 percent. when the golden cat corporation got rid of their 10 worst-selling cat litter products, they saw an increase in profits by 87 percent -- a function of both increase in sales and lowering of costs. you know, the average grocery store today offers you 45,000 products. the typical walmart today offers you 100,000 products. but the ninth largest retailer, the ninth biggest retailer in the world today is aldi, and it offers you only 1,400 products -- one kind of canned tomato sauce.

now in the financial savings world, i think one of the best examples that has recently come out on how to best manage the choice offerings has actually been something that david laibson was heavily involved in designing, which was the program that they have at harvard. every single harvard employee is now automatically enrolled in a lifecycle fund. for those people who actually want to choose, they're given 20 funds, not 300 or more funds. you know, often, people say, "i don't know how to cut. they're all important choices." and the first thing i do is i ask the employees, "tell me how these choices are different from one another. and if your employees can't tell 19 / 54

them apart, neither can your consumers."

now before we started our session this afternoon, i had a chat with gary. and gary said that he would be willing to offer people in this audience an all-expenses-paid free vacation to the most beautiful road in the world. here's a description of the road. and i'd like you to read it. and now i'll give you a few seconds to read it and then i want you to clap your hands if you're ready to take gary up on his offer. (light clapping) okay. anybody who's ready to take him up on his offer. is that all? all right, let me show you some more about this. (laughter) you guys knew there was a trick, didn't you. (honk) now who's ready to go on this trip. (applause) (laughter) i think i might have actually heard more hands.

all right. now in fact, you had objectively more information the first time around than the second time around, but i would venture to guess that you felt that it was more real the second time around. because the pictures made it feel more real to you. which brings me to the second technique for handling the choice overload problem, which is concretization. that in order for people to understand the differences between the choices, they have to be able to understand the consequences 20 / 54

Ted中英对照演讲稿.

Ted中英对照演讲稿 大人能从小孩身上学到什么 Now, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens, we are called childish, which really bothers me. After all, take a look at these events: Imperialism and colonization, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourself: Who's responsible? Adults. 首先我要问大家一个问题:上一回别人说你幼稚是什么时候?像我这样的小孩,可能经常会被 人说成是幼稚。每一次我们提出不合理的要求,做出不负责任的行为,或者展现出有别于普通美 国公民的惯常行为之时,我们就被说成是幼稚。这让我很不服气。首先,让我们来回顾下这些事件:帝国主义和殖民主义,世界大战,小布什。请你们扪心自问下:这些该归咎于谁?是大人。 Now, what have kids done? Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust, Ruby Bridges helped end segregation in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. The traits the word childish addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking. 而小孩呢,做了些什么?安妮·弗兰克(Anne Frank)对大屠杀强有力的叙述打动了数百万人的心。鲁比·布里奇斯为美国种族隔离的终结作出了贡献。另外,最近还有一个例子,查理·辛普 森(Charlie Simpson)骑自行车为海地募得 12万英镑。所以,这些例子证明了年龄与行为完 全没有关系。 "幼稚"这个词所对应的特点是常常可以从大人身上看到,由此我们在批评不负责 和非理性的相关行为时,应停止使用这个年龄歧视的词。 (Applause) Thank you. Then again, who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren't exactly what the world needs? Maybe you've had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking: That's impossible or that costs too much or that won't

TED英语演讲稿

TED英语演讲稿 When you are a kid, you get asked this one particular question a lot, it really gets kind of annoying. What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, adults are hoping for answers like, I want to be an astronaut or I want to be a neurosurgeon, youre adults in your imaginations. Kids, theyre most likely to answer with pro-skateboarder, surfer or minecraft player. I asked my little brother, and he said, seriously dude, Im 10, I have no idea, probably a pro-skier, lets go get some ice cream. See, us kids are going to answer something were stoked on, what we think is cool, what we have experience with, and thats typically the opposite of what adults want to hear. But if you ask a little kid, sometimes youll get the best answer, something so simple, so obvious and really profound. When I grow up, I want to be happy. For me, when I grow up, I want to continue to be happy like I am now. Im stoked to be here at TedEx, I mean, Ive been watching Ted videos for as long as I can remember, but I never thought Id make it on the stage here so soon. I mean, I just became a teenager, and like most teenage boys, I spend most of my time wondering,

ted英文演讲稿3篇范文稿

ted英文演讲稿3篇 以下这篇由应届毕业生演讲稿网站整理提供的是《阿凡达》、《泰坦尼克号》的导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆(james cameron)的一篇ted演讲。在这个演讲里,卡梅隆回顾了自己从电影学院毕业后走上导演道路的故事。卡梅隆告诉你,不要畏惧失败,永远不要给自己设限。更多演讲稿范文,欢迎访问应届毕业生演讲稿网站! i grew up on a steady diet of science fiction. in high school, i took a bus to school an hour each way every day. and i was always absorbed in a book, science fiction book, which took my mind to other worlds, and satisfied, in a narrative form, this insatiable sense of curiosity that i had. and you know, that curiosity also manifested itself in the fact that whenever i wasn't in school i was out in the woods, hiking and taking "samples" -- frogs and snakes and bugs and pond water -- and bringing it back, looking at it under the microscope. you know, i was a real science geek. but it was all about trying to understand the world, understand the limits of possibility. and my love of science fiction actually seemed mirrored in the world around me, because what was happening, this was in the late '60s, we were going to the moon, we were exploring the deep oceans.jacques cousteau was coming into our living rooms with his amazing specials that showed us animals and places and a wondrous world that we could never really have previously imagined. so, that seemed to resonate with the whole science fiction part of it.

杨澜TED演讲:重塑中国的年轻一代(中英文对照)

杨澜TED演讲:重塑中国的年轻一代(中英文对照) The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China’s Got Talent” show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle. And I told her, “I’m going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese] So it’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff. It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a li ne from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle — a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn’t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in C hinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious. 来苏格兰(做TED讲演)的前夜,我被邀请去上海做”中国达人秀“决赛的评委。在装有八万现场观众的演播厅里,在台上的表演嘉宾居然是(来自苏格兰的,因参加英国达人秀走红的)苏珊大妈(Susan Boyle)。我告诉她,“我明天就要启程去苏格兰。” 她唱得很动听,还对观众说了几句中文,她并没有说简单的”你好“或者”谢谢“,她说的是——“送你葱”(Song Ni Cong)。为什么?这句话其实来源于中国版的“苏珊大妈”——一位五十岁的以卖菜为生,却对西方歌剧有出奇爱好的上海中年妇女(蔡洪平)。这位中国的苏珊大妈并不懂英文,法语或意大利文,所以她将歌剧中的词汇都换做中文中的蔬菜名,并且演唱出来。在她口中,歌剧《图兰朵》的最后一句便是“Song Ni Cong”。当真正的英国苏珊大妈唱出这一句“中文的”《图兰朵》时,全场的八万观众也一起高声歌唱,场面的确有些滑稽(hilarious)。 So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference. 我想Susan Boyle和这位上海的买菜农妇的确属于人群中的少数。她们是最不可能在演艺界成功的,而她们的勇气和才华让她们成功了,这个节目和舞台给予了她们一个实现个人梦想的机会。这样看来,与众不同好像没有那么难。从不同的方面审视,我们每个人都是不同的。但是我想,与众不同是一件好事,因为你代表了不一样的观点,你拥有了做改变的机会。 My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great

ted精彩演讲:坠机让我学到的三件事 imagine a big explosion as you climb through 3,000 ft. imagine a plane full of smoke. imagine an engine going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. it sounds scary. 想像 一个大爆炸,当你在三千多英尺的高空;想像机舱内布满黑烟,想像引擎发出喀 啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦的声响,听起来很可怕。 well i had a unique seat that day. i was sitting in 1d. i was the only one who can talk to the flight attendants. so i looked at them right away, and they said, no problem. we probably hit some birds. the pilot had already turned the plane around, and we werent that far. you could see manhattan. 那天我的位置很特別,我坐在1d,我是唯一可以和空服员说话的人,于是我 立刻看着他们,他们说,"没问题,我们可能撞上鸟了。" 机长已经把机头转向, 我们离目的地很近,已经可以看到曼哈顿了。 two minutes later, 3 things happened at the same time. the pilot lines up the plane with the hudson river. thats usually not the route. he turns off the engines. now imagine being in a plane with no sound. and then he says 3 words-the most unemotional 3 words ive ever heard. he says, brace for impact. 两分钟以后,三件事情同时发生:机长把飞机对齐哈德逊河,一般的航道可 不是这样。他关上引擎。想像坐在一架没有声音的飞机上。然后他说了几个字, 我听过最不带情绪的几个字,他说,"即将迫降,小心冲击。" i didnt have to talk to the flight attendant anymore. i could see in her eyes, it was terror. life was over. 我不用再问空服员什么了。我可以在她眼神里看到恐惧,人生结束了。 now i want to share with you 3 things i learned about myself that day. 现在我想和你们分享那天我所学到的三件事。 i leant that it all changes in an instant. we have this bucket list, we have these things we want to do in life, and i thought about all the people i wanted to reach out to that i didnt, all the fences i wanted to mend, all the experiences i wanted to have and i never did. as i thought about that later on, i came up with a saying, which is, collect bad wines. because if the wine is ready and the person is there, im opening it. i no longer want to postpone anything in life. and that urgency, that purpose, has really changed my life. 在那一瞬间内,一切都改变了。我们的人生目标清单,那些我们想做的事, 所有那些我想联络却没有联络的人,那些我想修补的围墙,人际关系,所有我想 经历却没有经历的事。之后我回想那些事,我想到一句话,那就是,"我收藏的酒 都很差。" 因为如果酒已成熟,分享对象也有,我早就把把酒打开了。我不想再 把生命中的任何事延后,这种紧迫感、目标性改变了我的生命。 the second thing i learnt that day - and this is as we clear the george washington bridge, which was by not a lot - i thought about, wow, i really feel one real regret, ive lived a good life. in my own humanity and mistaked, ive tired to get better at everything i tried. but in my humanity, i also allow my ego to get in. and i regretted the time i wasted on things that did not matter with people that matter. and i thought about my relationship

TED英文演讲稿:谈转变心态的珠峰游(附翻译)

TED英文演讲稿:谈转变心态的珠峰游(附翻译)Last year when I was here, I was speaking to you about a swim which I did across the North Pole.去年,当我站在这里的时候,我在谈论我横跨北极的游泳。 And while that swim took place three years ago, I can remember it as if it was yesterday.那还是发生在3年前,对我则好像是昨天一般。 I remember standing on the edge of the ice, about to dive into the water, and thinking to myself, I have never ever seen any place on this earth which is just so frightening.我还记得我站在冰层的边缘,就要扎进水里,然后我自己想到,我再也再也不要看到地球上的这个地方,这里是如此的让人恐惧。 The water is completely black.The water is minus 1.7 degrees centigrade, or 29 degrees Fahrenheit.It's flipping freezing in that water. 那里的水是全黑色。水的温度是负1.7摄氏度,华氏29度。那水里就是翻动的冰块。 And then a thought came across my mind: if things go pear-shaped on this swim, how long will it take for my frozen body to sink the four and a half kilometers to the bottom of the ocean?然后一个念头在我脑

TED演讲稿-20岁光阴不再(中英互译)

When I was in my 20s, I saw my very first psychotherapy client. I was a Ph.D. student in clinical psychology at Berkeley. She was a 26-year-old woman named Alex. 记得见我第一位心理咨询顾客时,我才20多岁。当时我是Berkeley临床心理学在读博士生。我的第一位顾客是名叫Alex的女性,26岁。 Now Alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top, and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems. Now when I heard this, I was so relieved. My classmate got an arsonist for her first client. (Laughter) And I got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys. This I thought I could handle. 第一次见面Alex穿着牛仔裤和宽松上衣走进来,她一下子栽进我办公室的沙 发上,踢掉脚上的平底鞋,跟我说她想谈谈男生的问题。当时我听到这个之后松了一口气。因为我同学的第一个顾客是纵火犯,而我的顾客却是一个20出头想谈谈男生的女孩。我觉得我可以搞定。But I didn't handle it. With the funny stories that Alex would bring to session, it was easy for me just to nod my head while we kicked the can down the road. 但是我没有搞定。Alex不断地讲有趣的事情,而我只能简单地点头认同她所 说的,很自然地就陷入了附和的状态。 "Thirty's the new 20," Alex would say, and as far as I could tell, she was right. Work happened later, marriage happened later, kids happened later, even death happened later. Twentysomethings like

ted演讲稿范文4篇_演讲稿

ted演讲稿范文4篇 i was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the p.o. box at the end of the day, and that was mainly because my mother has never believed in email, in facebook, in texting or cell phones in general. and so while other kids were bbm-ing their parents, i was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter from home to see how the weekend had gone, which was a little frustrating when grandma was in the hospital, but i was just looking for some sort of scribble, some unkempt cursive from my mother. and so when i moved to new york city after college and got completely sucker-punched in the face by depression, i did the only thing i could think of at the time. i wrote those same kinds of letters that my mother had written me for strangers, and tucked them all throughout the city, dozens and dozens of them. i left them everywhere, in cafes and in libraries, at the u.n., everywhere. i blogged about those letters and the days when they were necessary, and i posed a kind of crazy promise to the internet: that if you asked me for a hand-written letter, i would write you one, no questions asked. overnight, my inbox 1 / 42

And I asked myself, why? I felt shy, I felt embarrassed. And then my question became, am I the only one who does this? So, I decided to investigate. 之所以我对此感兴趣是因为我从我自己的成长中注意到几年前,当我想要对某个人说声谢谢时,当我想要赞美他们时,当我想接受他们对我的赞扬,但我却没有说出口。我问我自己,这是为什么? 我感到害羞,我感到尴尬。接着我产生了一个问题难道我是唯一一个这么做的人吗?
