ted英语演讲稿范文4篇thank you very much.i moved to america 12 years ago with my wife terry and our two kids. actually, truthfully, we moved to los angel es -- (laughter) -- thinking we were moving to america, but anyway, it's a short plane ride from los angeles to america.i got here 12 years ago, and when i got here, i was told various things, like, "americans don't get irony." have y ou come across this idea? it's not true. i've traveled the wh ole length and breadth of this country. i have found no evi dence that americans don't get irony. it's one of those cultu ral myths, like, "the british are reserved." i don't know why people think this. we've invaded every country we've encoun tered. (laughter) but it's not true americans don't get irony, but i just want you to know that that's what people are say ing about you behind your back. you know, so when you le ave living rooms in europe, people say, thankfully, nobody was ironic in your presence.but i knew that americans get irony when i came acr oss that legislation no child left behind. because whoever th ought of that title gets irony, don't they, because -- (laught er) (applause) —because it's leaving millions of children be hind. now i can see that's not a very attractive name for leg islation: millions of children left behind. i can see that. what' s the plan? well, we propose to leave millions of children b ehind, and here's how it's going to work.and it's working beautifully. in some parts of the cou ntry, 60 percent of kids drop out of high school. in the nati ve american communities, it's 80 percent of kids. if we halve d that number, one estimate is it would create a net gain t o the u.s. economy over 10 years of nearly a trillion dollars. from an economic point of view, this is good math, isn't it, that we should do this? it actually costs an enormous amo unt to mop up the damage from the dropout crisis.but the dropout crisis is just the tip of an iceberg. w hat it doesn't count are all the kids who are in school but being disengaged from it, who don't enjoy it, who don't get any real benefit from it.and the reason is not that we're not spending enoug h money. america spends more money on education than m ost other countries. class sizes are smaller than in many cou ntries. and there are hundreds of initiatives every year to try and improve education. the trouble is, it's all going in the wrong direction. there are three principles on which human life flourishes, and they are contradicted by the culture of e ducation under which most teachers have to labor and most students have to endure.the first is this, that human beings are naturally diffe rent and diverse.can i ask you, how many of you have got children of your own? okay. or grandchildren. how about two children or more? right. and the rest of you have seen such children. (laughter) small people wandering about. i will make you a bet, and i am confident that i will win the bet. if you've g ot two children or more, i bet you they are completely diffe rent from each other. aren't they? aren't they? (applause) yo u would never confuse them, would you? like, "which one a re you? remind me. your mother and i are going to introdu ce some color-coding system, so we don't get confused."education under no child left behind is based on not diversity but conformity. what schools are encouraged to d o is to find out what kids can do across a very narrow spec trum of achievement. one of the effects of no child left beh ind has been to narrow the focus onto the so-called stem d isciplines. they're very important. i'm not here to argue agai nst science and math. on the contrary, they're necessary but they're not sufficient. a real education has to give equal we ight to the arts, the humanities, to physical education. an a wful lot of kids, sorry, thank you —(applause) —one estim ate in america currently is that something like 10 percent of kids, getting on that way, are being diagnosed with various conditions under the broad title of attention deficit disorde r. adhd. i'm not saying there's no such thing. i just don't be lieve it's an epidemic like this. if you sit kids down, hour aft er hour, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget, you know? (laughter) (applause) childre n are not, for the most part, suffering from a psychological condition. they're suffering from childhood. (laughter) and i know this because i spent my early life as a child. i went th rough the whole thing. kids prosper best with a broad curri culum that celebrates their various talents, not just a small range of them. and by the way, the arts aren't just importan t because they improve math scores. they're important beca use they speak to parts of children's being which are other wise untouched.the second, thank you —(applause)the second principle that drives human life flourishin g is curiosity. if you can light the spark of curiosity in a chil d, they will learn without any further assistance, very often. children are natural learners. it's a real achievement to put t hat particular ability out, or to stifle it. curiosity is the engin e of achievement. now the reason i say this is because one of the effects of the current culture here, if i can say so, ha s been to de-professionalize teachers. there is no system in the world or any school in the country that is better than it s teachers. teachers are the lifeblood of the success of scho ols. but teaching is a creative profession. teaching, properly conceived, is not a delivery system. you know, you're not th ere just to pass on received information. great teachers do t hat, but what great teachers also do is mentor, stimulate, pr ovoke, engage. you see, in the end, education is about lear ning. if there's no learning going on, there's no education going on. and people can spend an awful lot of time discussi ng education without ever discussing learning. the whole po int of education is to get people to learn.a friend of mine, an old friend -- actually very old, h e's dead. (laughter) that's as old as it gets, i'm afraid. but a wonderful guy he was, wonderful philosopher. he used to t alk about the difference between the task and achievement senses of verbs. you know, you can be engaged in the activ ity of something, but not really be achieving it, like dieting. it's a very good example, you know. there he is. he's dietin g. is he losing any weight? not really. teaching is a word lik e that. you can say, "there's deborah, she's in room 34, she' s teaching." but if nobody's learning anything, she may be e ngaged in the task of teaching but not actually fulfilling it.the role of a teacher is to facilitate learning. that's it. and part of the problem is, i think, that the dominant cultu re of education has come to focus on not teaching and lear ning, but testing. now, testing is important. standardized tes ts have a place. but they should not be the dominant cultur e of education. they should be diagnostic. they should help. (applause) if i go for a medical examination, i want some standardized tests. i do. you know, i want to know what my cholesterol level is compared to everybody else's on a stand ard scale. i don't want to be told on some scale my doctor invented in the car."your cholesterol is what i call level orange.""really? is that good?""we don't know."but all that should support learning. it shouldn't obst ruct it, which of course it often does. so in place of curiosit y, what we have is a culture of compliance. our children an d teachers are encouraged to follow routine algorithms rath er than to excite that power of imagination and curiosity. a nd the third principle is this: that human life is inherently cr eative. it's why we all have different résumés. we create our lives, and we can recreate them as we go through them. it' s the common currency of being a human being. it's why h uman culture is so interesting and diverse and dynamic. i m ean, other animals may well have imaginations and creativity, but it's not so much in evidence, is it, as ours? i mean, yo u may have a dog. and your dog may get depressed. you k now, but it doesn't listen to radiohead, does it? (laughter) and sit staring out the window with a bottle of jack daniels. (laughter)and you say, "would you like to come for a walk?"he says, "no, i'm fine. you go. i'll wait. but take pictu res."we all create our own lives through this restless proc ess of imagining alternatives and possibilities, and what one of the roles of education is to awaken and develop these powers of creativity. instead, what we have is a culture of st andardization.now, it doesn't have to be that way. it really doesn't. finland regularly comes out on top in math, science and re ading. now, we only know that's what they do well at becau se that's all that's being tested currently. that's one of the p roblems of the test. they don't look for other things that m atter just as much. the thing about work in finland is this: t hey don't obsess about those disciplines. they have a very b road approach to education which includes humanities, physi cal education, the arts.second, there is no standardized testing in finland. i mean, there's a bit, but it's not what gets people up in the morning. it's not what keeps them at their desks.and the third thing, and i was at a meeting recently with some people from finland, actual finnish people, and s omebody from the american system was saying to the peop le in finland, "what do you do about the dropout rate in fin land?"and they all looked a bit bemused, and said, "well, w e don't have one. why would you drop out? if people are i n trouble, we get to them quite quickly and help them and we support them."now people always say, "well, you know, you can't co mpare finland to america."no. i think there's a population of around five million in finland. but you can compare it to a state in america. m any states in america have fewer people in them than that.i mean, i've been to some states in america and i was the only person there. (laughter) really. really. i was asked to loc k up when i left. (laughter)but what all the high-performing systems in the worl d do is currently what is not evident, sadly, across the syste ms in america -- i mean, as a whole. one is this: they indivi dualize teaching and learning. they recognize that it's stude nts who are learning and the system has to engage them, t heir curiosity, their individuality, and their creativity. that's h ow you get them to learn.the second is that they attribute a very high status t o the teaching profession. they recognize that you can't imp rove education if you don't pick great people to teach and if you don't keep giving them constant support and professi onal development. investing in professional development is not a cost. it's an investment, and every other country that's succeeding well knows that, whether it's australia, canada, s outh korea, singapore, hong kong or shanghai. they know t hat to be the case.and the third is, they devolve responsibility to the sc hool level for getting the job done. you see, there's a big d ifference here between going into a mode of command and control in education -- that's what happens in some syste ms. you know, central governments decide or state governments decide they know best and they're going to tell you w hat to do. the trouble is that education doesn't go on in th e committee rooms of our legislative buildings. it happens i n classrooms and schools, and the people who do it are the teachers and the students, and if you remove their discreti on, it stops working. you have to put it back to the people. (applause)there is wonderful work happening in this country. b ut i have to say it's happening in spite of the dominant cult ure of education, not because of it. it's like people are sailin g into a headwind all the time. and the reason i think is thi s: that many of the current policies are based on mechanisti c conceptions of education. it's like education is an industria l process that can be improved just by having better data, a nd somewhere in, i think, the back of the mind of some pol icy makers is this idea that if we fine-tune it well enough, if we just get it right, it will all hum along perfectly into the future. it won't, and it never did.the point is that education is not a mechanical syste m. it's a human system. it's about people, people who eithe r do want to learn or don't want to learn. every student who drops out of school has a reason for it which is rooted in their own biography. they may find it boring. they may fin d it irrelevant. they may find that it's at odds with the life t hey're living outside of school. there are trends, but the stor ies are always unique. i was at a meeting recently in los an geles of -- they're called alternative education programs. the se are programs designed to get kids back into education. t hey have certain common features. they're very personalized. they have strong support for the teachers, close links with the community and a broad and diverse curriculum, and oft en programs which involve students outside school as well a s inside school. and they work. what's interesting to me is, t hese are called "alternative education." you know? and all th e evidence from around the world is, if we all did that, ther e'd be no need for the alternative. (applause)so i think we have to embrace a different metaphor. we have to recognize that it's a human system, and there a re conditions under which people thrive, and conditions und er which they don't. we are after all organic creatures, and t he culture of the school is absolutely essential. culture is an organic term, isn't it?not far from where i live is a place called death valle y. death valley is the hottest, driest place in america, and n othing grows there. nothing grows there because it doesn't rain. hence, death valley. in the winter of XX, it rained in de ath valley. seven inches of rain fell over a very short period. and in the spring of XX, there was a phenomenon. the wh ole floor of death valley was carpeted in flowers for a while. what it proved is this: that death valley isn't dead. it's dor mant. right beneath the surface are these seeds of possibilit y waiting for the right conditions to come about, and with organic systems, if the conditions are right, life is inevitable. it happens all the time. you take an area, a school, a distri ct, you change the conditions, give people a different sense of possibility, a different set of expectations, a broader ran ge of opportunities, you cherish and value the relationships between teachers and learners, you offer people the discreti on to be creative and to innovate in what they do, and sch ools that were once bereft spring to life.great leaders know that. the real role of leadership in education -- and i think it's true at the national level, the s tate level, at the school level -- is not and should not be command and control. the real role of leadership is climate c ontrol, creating a climate of possibility. and if you do that, people will rise to it and achieve things that you completely did not anticipate and couldn't have expected.there's a wonderful quote from benjamin franklin. "th ere are three sorts of people in the world: those who are i mmovable, people who don't get, they don't want to get it, they're going to do anything about it. there are people wh o are movable, people who see the need for change and ar e prepared to listen to it. and there are people who move, people who make things happen." and if we can encourage more people, that will be a movement. and if the movemen t is strong enough, that's, in the best sense of the word, a revolution. and that's what we need.thank you very much. (applause) thank you very muc h. (applause)TED英语演讲稿：二十几岁不可挥霍的光阴（附翻译）ted英语演讲稿范文（2）| 返回目录when i was in my 20s, i saw my very first psychother apy client. i was a ph.d. student in clinical psychology at berkeley. she was a 26-year-old woman named alex. now alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouch y top, and she dropped onto the couch in my office and ki cked 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. t his i thought i could handle.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. "thirty's the n ew 20," alex would say, and as far as i could tell, she was ri ght. work happened later, marriage happened later, kids hap pened later, even death happened later. twentysomethings li ke alex and i had nothing but time.but before long, my supervisor pushed me to push a lex about her love life. i pushed back.i said, "sure, she's dating down, she's sleeping with a knucklehead, but it's not like she's going to marry the guy. "and then my supervisor said, "not yet, but she might marry the next one. besides, the best time to work on alex 's marriage is before she has one."that's what psychologists call an "aha!" moment. that was the moment i realized, 30 is not the new 20. yes, peo ple settle down later than they used to, but that didn't mak e alex's 20s a developmental downtime. that made alex's 20 s a developmental sweet spot, and we were sitting there bl owing it. that was when i realized that this sort of benign n eglect was a real problem, and it had real consequences, no t just for alex and her love life but for the careers and the families and the futures of twentysomethings everywhere.there are 50 million twentysomethings in the united states right now. we're talking about 15 percent of the pop ulation, or 100 percent if you consider that no one's getting through adulthood without going through their 20s first.raise your hand if you're in your 20s. i really want to see some twentysomethings here. oh, yay! y'all's awesome. if you work with twentysomethings, you love a twentysomething, you're losing sleep over twentysomethings, i want to s ee —okay. awesome, twentysomethings really matter.so i specialize in twentysomethings because i believe that every single one of those 50 million twentysomethings deserves to know what psychologists, sociologists, neurolog ists and fertility specialists already know: that claiming your 20s is one of the simplest, yet most transformative, things y ou can do for work, for love, for your happiness, maybe eve n for the world.this is not my opinion. these are the facts. we know that 80 percent of life's most defining moments take place by age 35. that means that eight out of 10 of the decisions and experiences and "aha!" moments that make your life w hat it is will have happened by your mid-30s. people who a re over 40, don't panic. this crowd is going to be fine, i thi nk. we know that the first 10 years of a career has an expo nential impact on how much money you're going to earn. w e know that more than half of americans are married or are living with or dating their future partner by 30. we know t hat the brain caps off its second and last growth spurt in y our 20s as it rewires itself for adulthood, which means thatwhatever it is you want to change about yourself, now is th e time to change it. we know that personality changes more during your 20s than at any other time in life, and we kno w that female fertility peaks at age 28, and things get tricky after age 35. so your 20s are the time to educate yourself about your body and your options.so when we think about child development, we all k now that the first five years are a critical period for languag e and attachment in the brain. it's a time when your ordinar y, day-to-day life has an inordinate impact on who you will become. but what we hear less about is that there's such a thing as adult development, and our 20s are that critical per iod of adult development.but this isn't what twentysomethings are hearing. ne wspapers talk about the changing timetable of adulthood. re searchers call the 20s an extended adolescence. journalists c oin silly nicknames for twentysomethings like "twixters" and "kidults." it's true. as a culture, we have trivialized what is a ctually the defining decade of adulthood.leonard bernstein said that to achieve great things, y ou need a plan and not quite enough time. isn't that true? so what do you think happens when you pat a twentysomet hing on the head and you say, "you have 10 extra years to start your life"? nothing happens. you have robbed that per son of his urgency and ambition, and absolutely nothing ha ppens.and then every day, smart, interesting twentysomethi ngs like you or like your sons and daughters come into my office and say things like this: "i know my boyfriend's no g ood for me, but this relationship doesn't count. i'm just killi ng time." or they say, "everybody says as long as i get start ed on a career by the time i'm 30, i'll be fine."but then it starts to sound like this: "my 20s are alm ost over, and i have nothing to show for myself. i had a be tter résuméthe day after i graduated from college."and then it starts to sound like this: "dating in my 2 0s was like musical chairs. everybody was running around a nd having fun, but then sometime around 30 it was like the music turned off and everybody started sitting down. i didn't want to be the only one left standing up, so sometimes i think i married my husband because he was the closest ch air to me at 30."where are the twentysomethings here? do not do tha t.okay, now that sounds a little flip, but make no mist ake, the stakes are very high. when a lot has been pushed t o your 30s, there is enormous thirtysomething pressure to j ump-start a career, pick a city, partner up, and have two or three kids in a much shorter period of time. many of these things are incompatible, and as research is just starting to show, simply harder and more stressful to do all at once in our 30s.the post-millennial midlife crisis isn't buying a red sp orts car. it's realizing you can't have that career you now w ant. it's realizing you can't have that child you now want, or you can't give your child a sibling. too many thirtysomethi ngs and fortysomethings look at themselves, and at me, sitti ng across the room, and say about their 20s, "what was i d oing? what was i thinking?"i want to change what twentysomethings are doing a nd thinking.here's a story about how that can go. it's a story ab out a woman named emma. at 25, emma came to my offic e because she was, in her words, having an identity crisis. s he said she thought she might like to work in art or enterta inment, but she hadn't decided yet, so she'd spent the last few years waiting tables instead. because it was cheaper, sh e lived with a boyfriend who displayed his temper more tha n his ambition. and as hard as her 20s were, her early life h ad been even harder. she often cried in our sessions, but th en would collect herself by saying, "you can't pick your fami ly, but you can pick your friends."well one day, emma comes in and she hangs her he ad in her lap, and she sobbed for most of the hour. she'd j ust bought a new address book, and she'd spent the morni ng filling in her many contacts, but then she'd been left sta ring at that empty blank that comes after the words "in cas e of emergency, please call ... ." she was nearly hysterical w hen she looked at me and said, "who's going to be there for me if i get in a car wreck? who's going to take care of me if i have cancer?"now in that moment, it took everything i had not to say, "i will." but what emma needed wasn't some therapist who really, really cared. emma needed a better life, and i kn ew this was her chance. i had learned too much since i first worked with alex to just sit there while emma's defining de cade went parading by.so over the next weeks and months, i told emma thr ee things that every twentysomething, male or female, deser ves to hear.first, i told emma to forget about having an identity crisis and get some identity capital. by get identity capital, i mean do something that adds value to who you are. do so mething that's an investment in who you might want to be next. i didn't know the future of emma's career, and no one knows the future of work, but i do know this: identity capit al begets identity capital. so now is the time for that cross-country job, that internship, that startup you want to try. i' m not discounting twentysomething exploration here, but iam discounting exploration that's not supposed to count, w hich, by the way, is not exploration. that's procrastination. i told emma to explore work and make it count.second, i told emma that the urban tribe is overrated. best friends are great for giving rides to the airport, but t wentysomethings who huddle together with like-minded pee rs limit who they know, what they know, how they think, ho w they speak, and where they work. that new piece of capit al, that new person to date almost always comes from outsi de the inner circle. new things come from what are called o ur weak ties, our friends of friends of friends. so yes, half of twentysomethings are un- or under-employed. but half are n't, and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group. half of new jobs are never posted, so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that un-posted job. it's not cheating. it's the science of how information spreads.last but not least, emma believed that you can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends. now this was tr ue for her growing up, but as a twentysomething, soon em ma would pick her family when she partnered with someon e and created a family of her own. i told emma the time tostart picking your family is now. now you may be thinking that 30 is actually a better time to settle down than 20, or even 25, and i agree with you. but grabbing whoever you're living with or sleeping with when everyone on facebook sta rts walking down the aisle is not progress. the best time to work on your marriage is before you have one, and that me ans being as intentional with love as you are with work. pic king your family is about consciously choosing who and wh at you want rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing you.so what happened to emma? well, we went through that address book, and she found an old roommate's cousin who worked at an art museum in another state. that weak tie helped her get a job there. that job offer gave her the r eason to leave that live-in boyfriend. now, five years later, s he's a special events planner for museums. she's married to a man she mindfully chose. she loves her new career, she l oves her new family, and she sent me a card that said, "no w the emergency contact blanks don't seem big enough."now emma's story made that sound easy, but that's what i love about working with twentysomethings. they are。

TED英文演讲稿范本ted演讲稿精彩6篇TED英语演讲稿篇一What I'd like to do today is talk about one of my favorite subjects, and that is the neuroscience of sleep.Now, there is a sound -- (Alarm clock) -- aah, it worked -- a sound that is desperately, desperately familiar to most of us, and of course it's the sound of the alarm clock. And what that truly ghastly, awful sound does is stop the single most importantbehavioral experience that we have, and that's sleep. If you're an average sort of person, 36 percent of your life will be spent asleep, which means that if you live to 90, then 32 years will have beenspent entirely asleep.Now what that 32 years is telling us is that sleep at some levelis important. And yet, for most of us, we don't give sleep a second thought. We throw it away. We really just don't think about sleep. And so what I'd like to do today is change your views, change your ideas and your thoughts about sleep. And the journey that I want to take you on, we need to start by going back in time."Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber." Any ideas who said that? Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Yes, let me give you a few more quotes. "O sleep, O gentle sleep, nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee?" Shakespeare again, from -- I won't say it -- the Scottish play. [Correction: Henry IV, Part 2] (Laughter) From the same time: "Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together." Extremely prophetic, by Thomas Dekker, another Elizabethan dramatist. But if we jump forward 400 years, the tone about sleep changes somewhat. This is from Thomas Edison, from the beginning of the 20th century. "Sleep is a criminal waste of time and a heritage from ourcave days." Bang. (Laughter) And if we also jump into the 1980s, some of you may remember that Margaret Thatcher was reported to have said, "Sleep is for wimps." And of course the infamous -- what was his name? -- the infamous Gordon Gekko from "Wall Street" said, "Money never sleeps."What do we do in the 20th century about sleep? Well, of course, we use Thomas Edison's light bulb to invade the night, and we occupied the dark, and in the process of this occupation, we've treated sleep as an illness, almost. We've treated it as an enemy. At most now, I suppose, we tolerate the need for sleep, and at worst perhaps many of us think of sleep as an illness that needs some sort of a cure. And our ignorance about sleep is really quite profound. Why is it? Why do we abandon sleep in our thoughts? Well, it's because you don't do anything much while you're asleep, it seems. You don't eat. You don't drink. And you don't have sex. Well, most of us anyway. And so therefore it's -- Sorry. It's a complete waste of time, right? Wrong. Actually, sleep is an incredibly important part of our biology, and neuroscientists are beginning to explain why it's so very important. So let's move to the brain.Now, here we have a brain. This is donated by a social scientist, and they said they didn't know what it was, or indeed how to use it, so -- (Laughter) Sorry. So I borrowed it. I don't think they noticed. Okay. (Laughter)The point I'm trying to make is that when you're asleep, this thing doesn't shut down. In fact, some areas of the brain areactually more active during the sleep state than during the wake state. The other thing that's really important about sleep is that it doesn't arise from a single structure within the brain, but is tosome extent a network property, and if we flip the brain on its back -- I love this little bit of spinal cord here -- this bit here is the hypothalamus, and right under there is a whole raft of interesting structures, not least the biological clock. The biological clocktells us when it's good to be up, when it's good to be asleep, and what that structure does is interact with a whole raft of other areas within the hypothalamus, the lateral hypothalamus, the ventrolateral preoptic nuclei. All of those combine, and they send projections down to the brain stem here. The brain stem then projects forward and bathes the cortex, this wonderfully wrinkly bit over here, with neurotransmitters that keep us awake and essentially provide us with our consciousness. So sleep arises from a whole raft of different interactions within the brain, and essentially, sleep is turned on and off as a result of a range ofOkay. So where have we got to? We've said that sleep is complicated and it takes 32 years of our life. But what I haven't explained is what sleep is about. So why do we sleep? And it won't surprise any of you that, of course, the scientists, we don't have a consensus. There are dozens of different ideas about why we sleep, and I'm going to outline three of those.The first is sort of the restoration idea, and it's somewhat intuitive. Essentially, all the stuff we've burned up during the day, we restore, we replace, we rebuild during the night. And indeed, as an explanation, it goes back to Aristotle, so that's, what, 2,300 years ago. It's gone in and out of fashion. It's fashionable at the moment because what's been shown is that within the brain, a whole raft of genes have been shown to be turned on only during sleep, and those genes are associated with restoration and metabolic pathways.So there's good evidence for the whole restoration hypothesis.What about energy conservation? Again, perhaps intuitive. You essentially sleep to save calories. Now, when you do the sums, though, it doesn't really pan out. If you compare an individual who has slept at night, or stayed awake and hasn't moved very much, the energy saving of sleeping is about 110 calories a night. Now, that's the equivalent of a hot dog bun. Now, I would say that a hot dog bun is kind of a meager return for such a complicated and demanding behavior as sleep. So I'm less convinced by the energy conservation idea.But the third idea I'm quite attracted to, which is brain processing and memory consolidation. What we know is that, if after you've tried to learn a task, and you sleep-deprive individuals, the ability to learn that task is smashed. It's really hugely attenuated. So sleep and memory consolidation is also very important. However,it's not just the laying down of memory and recalling it. What's turned out to be really exciting is that our ability to come up with novel solutions to complex problems is hugely enhanced by a night of sleep. In fact, it's been estimated to give us a threefold advantage. Sleeping at night enhances our creativity. And what seems to be going on is that, in the brain, those neural connections that are important, those synaptic connections that are important, are linked and strengthened, while those that are less important tend to fade away and be less important.Okay. So we've had three explanations for why we might sleep, and I think the important thing to realize is that the details will vary, and it's probable we sleep for multiple different reasons. But sleep is not an indulgence. It's not some sort of thing that we can take onboard rather casually. I think that sleep was once likened to an upgrade from economy to business class, you know, the equiavlent of. It's not even an upgrade from economy to first class. The critical thing to realize is that if you don't sleep, you don't fly. Essentially, you never get there, and what's extraordinary about much of our society these days is that we are desperately sleep-deprived. So let's now look at sleep deprivation. Huge sectors of society are sleep-deprived, and let's look at our sleep-o-meter. So in the 1950s, good data suggests that most of us were getting around about eight hours of sleep a night. Nowadays, we sleep one and a half to two hours less every night, so we're in the six-and-a-half-hours-every-night league. For teenagers, it's worse, much worse. They need nine hours for full brain performance, and many of them, on a school night, are only getting five hours of sleep. It's simply not enough. If we think about other sectors of society, the aged, if you are aged, then your ability to sleep in a single block is somewhat disrupted, and many sleep, again, less than five hours a night. Shift work. Shift work is extraordinary, perhaps 20 percent of the working population, and the body clock does not shift to the demands of working at night. It's locked onto the same light-dark cycle as the rest of us. So when the poor old shift worker is going home to try and sleep during the day, desperately tired, the body clock is saying, "Wake up. This is the time to be awake." So the quality of sleep that you get as a night shift worker is usually very poor, again in that sort of five-hour region. And then, of course, tens of millions of people suffer from jet lag. So who here has jet lag? Well, my goodness gracious. Well, thank you very much indeed for not falling asleep, because that's what your brain is craving.One of the things that the brain does is indulge in micro-sleeps, this involuntary falling asleep, and you have essentially no control over it. Now, micro-sleeps can be sort of somewhat embarrassing, but they can also be deadly. It's been estimated that 31 percent of drivers will fall asleep at the wheel at least once in their life, and in the U.S., the statistics are pretty good: 100,000 accidents on the freeway have been associated with tiredness, loss of vigilance, and falling asleep. A hundred thousand a year. It's extraordinary. At another level of terror, we dip into the tragic accidents at Chernobyl and indeed the space shuttle Challenger, which was so tragically lost. And in the investigations that followed those disasters, poor judgment as a result of extended shift work and loss of vigilance and tiredness was attributed to a big chunk of those disasters.So when you're tired, and you lack sleep, you have poor memory, you have poor creativity, you have increased impulsiveness, and you have overall poor judgment. But my friends, it's so much worse than that.(Laughter)If you are a tired brain, the brain is craving things to wake it up. So drugs, stimulants. Caffeine represents the stimulant of choice across much of the Western world. Much of the day is fueled by caffeine, and if you're a really naughty tired brain, nicotine. And of course, you're fueling the waking state with these stimulants, and then of course it gets to 11 o'clock at night, and the brain says to itself, "Ah, well actually, I need to be asleep fairly shortly. What do we do about that when I'm feeling completely wired?" Well, of course, you then resort to alcohol. Now alcohol, short-term, youknow, once or twice, to use to mildly sedate you, can be very useful. It can actually ease the sleep transition. But what you must be so aware of is that alcohol doesn't provide sleep, a biological mimicfor sleep. It sedates you. So it actually harms some of the neural proccessing that's going on during memory consolidation and memory recall. So it's a short-term acute measure, but for goodness sake, don't become addicted to alcohol as a way of getting to sleep every night.Another connection between loss of sleep is weight gain. If you sleep around about five hours or less every night, then you have a 50 percent likelihood of being obese. What's the connection here? Well, sleep loss seems to give rise to the release of the hormone ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Ghrelin is released. It gets to the brain. The brain says, "I need carbohydrates," and what it does is seek out carbohydrates and particularly sugars. So there's a link between tiredness and the metabolic predisposition for weight gain.Stress. Tired people are massively stressed. And one of the things of stress, of course, is loss of memory, which is what I sort of just then had a little lapse of. But stress is so much more. So if you're acutely stressed, not a great problem, but it's sustained stress associated with sleep loss that's the problem. So sustained stress leads to suppressed immunity, and so tired people tend to have higher rates of overall infection, and there's some very good studies showing that shift workers, for example, have higher rates of cancer. Increased levels of stress throw glucose into the circulation. Glucose becomes a dominant part of the vasculature and essentially you become glucose intolerant. Therefore, diabetes 2. Stress increases cardiovascular disease as a result of raising bloodpressure. So there's a whole raft of things associated with sleep loss that are more than just a mildly impaired brain, which is where I think most people think that sleep loss resides.So at this point in the talk, this is a nice time to think, well, do you think on the whole I'm getting enough sleep? So a quick show of hands. Who feels that they're getting enough sleep here? Oh. Well, that's pretty impressive. Good. We'll talk more about that later, about what are your tips.So most of us, of course, ask the question, "Well, how do I know whether I'm getting enough sleep?" Well, it's not rocket science. If you need an alarm clock to get you out of bed in the morning, if you are taking a long time to get up, if you need lots of stimulants, if you're grumpy, if you're irritable, if you're told by your work colleagues that you're looking tired and irritable, chances are you are sleep-deprived. Listen to them. Listen to yourself.What do you do? Well -- and this is slightly offensive -- sleep for dummies: Make your bedroom a haven for sleep. The first critical thing is make it as dark as you possibly can, and also make itslightly cool. Very important. Actually, reduce your amount of light exposure at least half an hour before you go to bed. Light increases levels of alertness and will delay sleep. What's the last thing that most of us do before we go to bed? We stand in a massively lit bathroom looking into the mirror cleaning our teeth. It's the worst thing we can possibly do before we went to sleep. Turn off those mobile phones. Turn off those computers. Turn off all of those things that are also going to excite the brain. Try not to drink caffeine too late in the day, ideally not after lunch. Now, we've set about reducing light exposure before you go to bed, but light exposure inthe morning is very good at setting the biological clock to thelight-dark cycle. So seek out morning light. Basically, listen to yourself. Wind down. Do those sorts of things that you know are going to ease you off into the honey-heavy dew of slumber.Okay. That's some facts. What about some myths?Teenagers are lazy. No. Poor things. They have a biological predisposition to go to bed late and get up late, so give them a break.We need eight hours of sleep a night. That's an average. Some people need more. Some people need less. And what you need to do is listen to your body. Do you need that much or do you need more? Simple as that.Old people need less sleep. Not true. The sleep demands of the aged do not go down. Essentially, sleep fragments and becomes less robust, but sleep requirements do not go down.And the fourth myth is, early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Well that's wrong at so many different levels. (Laughter) There is no, no evidence that getting up early and going to bed early gives you more wealth at all. There's nodifference in socioeconomic status. In my experience, the only difference between morning people and evening people is that those people that get up in the morning early are just horribly smug.(Laughter) (Applause)Okay. So for the last part, the last few minutes, what I want to do is change gears and talk about some really new, breaking areas of neuroscience, which is the association between mental health, mental illness and sleep disruption. We've known for 130 years that in severe mental illness, there is always, always sleep disruption, butit's been largely ignored. In the 1970s, when people started to think about this again, they said, "Yes, well, of course you have sleep disruption in schizophrenia because they're on anti-psychotics. It's the anti-psychotics causing the sleep problems," ignoring the fact that for a hundred years previously, sleep disruption had been reported before anti-psychotics.So what's going on? Lots of groups, several groups are studying conditions like depression, schizophrenia and bipolar, and what's going on in terms of sleep disruption. We have a big study which we published last year on schizophrenia, and the data were quite extraordinary. In those individuals with schizophrenia, much of the time, they were awake during the night phase and then they were asleep during the day. Other groups showed no 24-hour patterns whatsoever. Their sleep was absolutely smashed. And some had noability to regulate their sleep by the light-dark cycle. They were getting up later and later and later and later each night. It was smashed.So what's going on? And the really exciting news is that mental illness and sleep are not simply associated but they are physically linked within the brain. The neural networks that predispose you to normal sleep, give you normal sleep, and those that give you normal mental health are overlapping. And what's the evidence for that? Well, genes that have been shown to be very important in the generation of normal sleep, when mutated, when changed, also predispose individuals to mental health problems. And last year, we published a study which showed that a gene that's been linked to schizophrenia, which, when mutated, also smashes the sleep. So we have evidence of a genuine mechanistic overlap between these twoimportant systems.Other work flowed from these studies. The first was that sleep disruption actually precedes certain types of mental illness, andwe've shown that in those young individuals who are at high risk of developing bipolar disorder, they already have a sleep abnormality prior to any clinical diagnosis of bipolar. The other bit of data was that sleep disruption may actually exacerbate, make worse the mental illness state. My colleague Dan Freeman has used a range of agents which have stabilized sleep and reduced levels of paranoia in those individuals by 50 percent.So what have we got? We've got, in these connections, some really exciting things. In terms of the neuroscience, by understanding the neuroscience of these two systems, we're really beginning to understand how both sleep and mental illness are generated and regulated within the brain. The second area is that if we can use sleep and sleep disruption as an early warning signal, then we have the chance of going in. If we know that these individuals are vulnerable, early intervention then becomes possible. And the third, which I think is the most exciting, is that we can think of the sleep centers within the brain as a new therapeutic target. Stabilize sleep in those individuals who are vulnerable, we can certainly make them healthier, but also alleviate some of the appalling symptoms of mental illness.So let me just finish. What I started by saying is take sleep seriously. Our attitudes toward sleep are so very different from a pre-industrial age, when we were almost wrapped in a duvet. We used to understand intuitively the importance of sleep. And this isn't some sort of crystal-waving nonsense. This is a pragmatic response togood health. If you have good sleep, it increases your concentration, attention, decision-making, creativity, social skills, health. If you get sleep, it reduces your mood changes, your stress, your levels of anger, your impulsivity, and your tendency to drink and take drugs. And we finished by saying that an understanding of the neuroscience of sleep is really informing the way we think about some of the causes of mental illness, and indeed is providing us new ways totreat these incredibly debilitating conditions.Jim Butcher, the fantasy writer, said, "Sleep is God. Go worship." And I can only recommend that you do the same.Thank you for your attention.TED英语演讲稿带翻译篇二People returning to work after a career break: I call them relaunchers. These are people who have taken career breaks for elder care, for childcare reasons, pursuing a personal interest or a personal health issue. Closely related are career transitioners ofall kinds: veterans, military spouses, retirees coming out of retirement or repatriating expats. Returning to work after a career break is hard because of a disconnect between the employers and the relaunchers. Employers can view hiring people with a gap on their resume as a high-risk proposition, and individuals on career break can have doubts about their abilities to relaunch their careers, especially if theyve been out for a long time. This disconnect is a problem that Im trying to help solve.有些人经过离职长假之后重新投入到工作中来，我称他们为“再从业者”。

第一篇：ted英语演讲稿Let me start by thanking...I'm very pleased to be here.I'm very happy to have this opportunity to...I feel great honored to be here.It's a pleasure for me to share my experience with you all.We have the great pleasure to have Mr.President with us.We are honored today to be joined by our distinguished guest,...Today I'd like to say something about...Well, the topic I'm going to deal with is...I'm sure everybody is interested in... so I will share with you some...第二篇：ted英语演讲稿Good evening ,Ladies and Gentlemen:Thank you very much for choosing to come in such a cold night.Today my topic is about choice and process.A research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.With so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. In my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. There is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference.Life is a box of chocolate,you never know what you will get. Forrest Gump made no decision by and for himself but heaccomplished great success with his strong will in the process. The process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ,the caution, courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. Take myself as an example, I changed my major when I became a postgraduate. After the choice,days have been harsh for me.I cannot understand the new lessons at all. For they are closely related to mathmatics which I learned nothing about before. However wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself,I persisted. I asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life. Gradually I could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.Moreover, I learned to act instead of complaining. In retrospect,the choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months becomes an unforgetable experience in my life.第三篇：ted英语演讲稿Most people would like to be popular with others， but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity？In fact，it is very simple. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well. When we are healthy and well-groomed，we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition， we should smile and appear friendly. After all， our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this， people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It＇s also important to be good listeners；inthis way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However， no matter what we do， we must not gossip. Above all， we must remember to be ourselves， not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above， I am sure popularity will come our way.如何才能受人欢迎大部分的人都想受人欢迎，但是并非每个人都能达到目标。

经典TED英语演讲稿范⽂五篇1 My generation really, sadly, is not going to change the numbers at the top. They're just not moving. We are not going to get to where 50 percent of the population — in my generation, there will not be 50 percent of [women] at the top of any industry. But I'm hopeful that future generations can. I think a world where half of our countries and our companies were run by women, would be a better world. It's not just because people would know where the women's bathrooms are, even though that would be very helpful.I think it would be a better world. I have two children. I have a five-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home, and I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.经典TED英语演讲稿范⽂五篇2 They know each other more in the biblical sense as well. Message number three: Don't leave before you leave. I think there's a really deep irony to the fact that actions women are taking — and I see this all the time — with the objective of staying in the workforceactually lead to their eventually leaving. Here's what happens: We're all busy. Everyone's busy. A woman's busy. And she starts thinking about having a child, and from the moment she starts thinking about having a child, she starts thinking about making room for that child. "How am I going to fit this into everything else I'm doing?" And literally from that moment, she doesn't raise her hand anymore, she doesn't look for a promotion, she doesn't take on the new project, she doesn't say, "Me. I want to do that." She starts leaning back.经典TED英语演讲稿范⽂五篇3 I said, "You're thinking about this just way too early." But the point is that what happens once you start kind of quietly leaning back? Everyone who's been through this — and I'm here to tell you, once you have a child at home, your job better be really good to go back, because it's hard to leave that kid at home. Your job needs to be challenging. It needs to be rewarding. You need to feel like you're making a difference. And if two years ago you didn't take a promotion and some guy next to you did, if three years ago you stopped looking for new opportunities,you're going to be bored because you should have kept your foot on the gas pedal. Don't leave before you leave. Stay in. Keep your foot on the gas pedal, until the very day you need to leave to take a break for a child —and then make your decisions. Don't make decisions too far in advance, particularly ones you're not even conscious you're making.经典TED英语演讲稿范⽂五篇4 I think the cause is more complicated. I think, as a society, we put more pressure on our boys to succeedthan we do on our girls. I know men that stay home and work in the home to support wives with careers,and it's hard. When I go to the Mommy-and-Me stuff and I see the father there, I notice that the other mommies don't play with him. And that's a problem, because we have to make it as important a job,because it's the hardest job in the world to work inside the home, for people of both genders, if we're going to even things out and let women stay in the workforce. Studies show that households with equal earning and equal responsibility also have half the divorce rate.And if thatwasn't good enough motivation for everyone out there, they also have more — how shall I say this on this stage?经典TED英语演讲稿范⽂五篇5 The problem is that — let's say she got pregnant that day, that day — nine months of pregnancy, three months of maternity leave, six months to catch your breath — Fast-forward two years, more often — and as I've seen it — women start thinking about this way earlier — when they get engaged, or married, when they start thinking about having a child, which can take a long time. One woman came to see me about this. She looked a little young. And I said, "So are you and your husband thinking about having a baby?" And she said, "Oh no, I'm not married." She didn't even have a boyfriend.。

TED英语演讲稿大全TED英语演讲稿I was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the 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 morphed into this harbor of heartbreak -- a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me, a 22-year-old girl who barely even knew her own coffee order,to write them a love letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.Well, today I fuel a global organization that is fueled by those trips to the mailbox, fueled by the ways in which we can harness social media like never before to write and mail strangers letters when they need them most, but most of all, fueled by crates of mail like this one, my trusty mail crate, filled with the scriptings of ordinary people, strangers writing letters to other strangers not because they're ever going to meet and laugh over a cup of coffee, but because they have found one another by way of letter-writing.But, you know, the thing that alwayss大学英语演讲稿大全：选择的重要性Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" program... If wecould agree what that was. However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice. Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and inone color. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades. Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers. Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science. The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation. We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily. About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference. Like others of my age, I'm too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people? Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializzes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it? First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities. I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as ateacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China. Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential. All of these sound good. But they are only possibilities. To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge. To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins. With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. This is calling for a higher level of our personal development. Fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. But today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone. Given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination. As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important. As we gain moreinitiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important. Nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions. Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health. To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, I would like to say, To choose means to take responsibility. When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "It's just my own business. " As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us. The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programs. Rather, it is the whole of the human family. As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word "China" for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province. I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty. All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve theirlives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in itcan lead a peaceful and prosperous life.英语演讲稿开场白大全英语演讲稿开场白大全英语演讲稿开场白曹一迪从出生时就注定要承担大任的，刚出生时，医生把她放到秤上一约，八斤，这对女孩子来讲，绝对是容易受到“重视”的数字。

简短的.ted英文演讲稿篇一A King who did't have children wanted an honest boy to be his inheritant.He told all the boys who wanted to be chosen“Today I give each of you a seed,after three monthes,the boy who gets the most beatiful flower will be my inheritant."Three monthes passed,all the clever and bright boys took their beatiful flowers to flatter the King except one boy having nothing in his pot with his eyes full of tears.The boy said to the King:“My honorable King,I water it every day,feed her carefully,even when sleeping,I didn't let it away from me,but I can get nothing in the end.”The King laughed:"You can get nothing,my honest prince,because what I have given to you is burned seeds!"简短的ted英文演讲稿篇二I decided to be a middle school teacher after college. There are many reasons contribute to this decision.Firstly, when I was a little boy, I have been dreaming of being a teacher. It seemed so fascinate to me and I hope I can make my dream come true.Besides, I like so much to be with middle school students. Most of the students at that age are full of youthful spirity and I am sure their passion would pass to me. I will retain all the zest of adolescence.The most important reason is that our country needs plentyof teachers. So far, teaching is considered a tough and low-income job in China. However, if we have not enough teachers, our future will lack of excellent scientist, managers, businessmen, soldiers and even goood workers and farmers. How can our country to be strong and wealthy?I wish my country to be a better one. I am ready to be a teacher and hope all the persons with lofty ideals may dedicate themselves to this meaningful career.简短的ted英文演讲稿篇三Everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. But what is true beauty? Perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.This morning I went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. On the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. But he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly.Instead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. We were all very angry with the young man. To our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. We all praised the girl.From this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. A person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. Only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.。

TED英文演讲稿3篇ted演讲稿5篇精选TED英文演讲稿3篇(5)TED英语演讲:真正的强大TED英文演讲稿3篇(3)TED英语演讲稿1I think the cause is more complicated. I think, as a society, we put more pressure on our boys to succeedthan we do on our girls.I know men that stay home and work in the home to support wives with careers,and it's hard. When I go to the Mommy-and-Me stuff and I see the father there, I notice that the other mommies don't play with him. And that's a problem, because we have to make it as important a job,because it's the hardest job in the world to work inside the home, for people of both genders, if we're going to even things out and let women stay in the workforce. Studies show that households with equal earning and equal responsibility also have half the divorce rate.And if that wasn't good enough motivation for everyone out there, they also have more — how shall I say this on this stage?TED英语演讲稿2They know each other more in the biblical sense as well. Message number three: Don't leave before you leave. I think there's a really deep irony to the fact that actions women are taking —and I see this all the time —with the objective ofstaying in the workforceactually lead to their eventually leaving. Here's what happens: We're all busy. Everyone's busy. A woman's busy. And she starts thinking about having a child, and from the moment she starts thinking about having a child, she starts thinking about making room for that child. "How am I going to fit this into everything else I'm doing?" And literally from that moment, she doesn't raise her hand anymore, she doesn't look for a promotion, she doesn't take on the new project, she doesn't say, "Me. I want to do that." She starts leaning back.TED英语演讲稿3The problem is that — let's say she got pregnant that day, that day — nine months of pregnancy, three months of maternity leave, six months to catch your breath — Fast-forward two years, more often — and as I've seen it — women start thinking about this way earlier — when they get engaged, or married, when they start thinking about having a child, which can take a long time. One woman came to see me about this. She looked a little young. And I said, "So are you and your husband thinking about having a baby?" And she said, "Oh no, I'm not married." She didn't even have a boyfriend.TED英语演讲稿4I said, "You're thinking about this just way too early." But the point is that what happens once you start kind of quietly leaning back? Everyone who's been through this — and I'm here to tell you, once you have a child at home, your job better be really good to go back, because it's hard to leave that kid at home. Your job needs to be challenging. It needs to be rewarding. You need to feel like you're making a difference. And if two years ago you didn't take a promotion and some guy next to you did, if three years ago you stopped looking for new opportunities,you'regoing to be bored because you should have kept your foot on the gas pedal. Don't leave before you leave. Stay in. Keep your foot on the gas pedal, until the very day you need to leave to take a break for a child — and then make your decisions. Don't make decisions too far in advance, particularly ones you're not even conscious you're making.TED英语演讲稿5My generation really, sadly, is not going to change the numbers at the top. They're just not moving. We are not going to get to where 50 percent of the population — in my generation, there will not be 50 percent of [women] at the top of any industry. But I'm hopeful that future generations can. I think a world where half of our countries and our companies were run by women, would be a better world. It's not just because people would know where the women's bathrooms are, even though that would be very helpful.I think it would be a better world. I have two children.I have a five-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home, and I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.。

↓▼↓更多“英英语演讲稿1The problem with these stories is that they show what the data shows: women systematically underestimate their own abilities. If you test men and women, and you ask them questions on totally objective criteria like GPAs, men get it wrong slightly high, and women get it wrong slightly low. Women do not negotiate for themselves in the workforce. A study in the last two years of people entering the workforce out of college showed that 57 percent of boys entering, or men, I guess, are negotiating their first salary, and only seven percent of women. And most importantly, men attribute their success to themselves, and women attribute it to other external factors. If you ask men why they did a good job,theyll say, Im awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking? If you ask women why they did a good job, what theyll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.英语演讲稿2Why does this matter? Boy, it matters a lot. Because no one gets to the corner office by sitting on the side, not at the table, and no one gets the promotion if they dont think they deserve their success, or they dont even understand their own success.I wish the answer were easy. I wish I could go tell all the young women I work for, these fabulous women,Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success. I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But its not that simple. Because what the data shows, above all else, is one thing, which is that success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women. And everyones nodding, because we all know this to be true.Theres a really good study that shows this really well. Theres a famous Harvard Business School studyon a woman named Heidi Roizen. And shes an operator in a company in Silicon Valley, and she uses her contacts to become a very successful venture capitalist.英语演讲稿3In 20_ — not so long ago — a professor who was then at Columbia University took that case and made it [Howard] Roizen. And he gave the case out, both of them, to two groups of students. He changed exactly one word: Heidi to Howard. But that one word made a really big difference. He then surveyed the students, and the good news was the students, both men and women, thought Heidi and Howard were equally competent, and thats good.The bad news was that everyone likedHoward. Hes a great guy. You want to work for him. You want to spend the day fishing with him. But Heidi? Not so sure. Shes a little out for herself. Shes a little political.Youre not sure youd want to work for her. This is the complication. We have to tell our daughters and our colleagues, we have to tell ourselves to believe we got the A, to reach for the promotion, to sit at the table, and we have to do it in a world where, for them, there are sacrifices they will make for that, even though for their brothers, there are not. The saddest thing about all of this is that its really hard to remember this. And Im about to tell a story which is truly embarrassing for me, but I think important.英语演讲稿4I gave this talk at Facebook not so long ago to about 100 employees, and a couple hours later, there was a young woman who works there sitting outside my little desk, and she wanted to talk to me. I said, okay, and she sat down, and we talked. And she said, I learned something today. I learned that I need to keep my hand up. What do you mean?She said, Youre giving this talk, and you said you would take two more questions. I had my hand up with many other people, and you took two more questions. I put my hand down, and I noticed all the women did the same, and then you took more questions, only from the men. And I thought to myself,Wow, if its me — who cares about this, obviously — giving this talk — and during this talk.英语演讲稿5I cant even notice that the mens hands are still raised, and the womens hands are still raised, how good are we as managers of our companies and our organizations at seeing that the men are reaching for opportunitiesmore than women? Weve got to get women to sit at the table.Message number two: Make your partner a real partner. Ive become convinced that weve made more progress in the workforce than we have in the home. The data shows this very clearly. If a woman and a man work full-time and have a child, the woman does twice the amount of housework the man does, and the woman does three times the amount of childcare the man does. So shes got three jobs or two jobs, and hes got one. Who do you think drops out when someone needs to be home more? The causes of this are really complicated, and I dont have time to go into them. And I dont think Sunday football-watching and general laziness is the cause.。
