(掌声)。
我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。
“来这里度假的吗,亲爱的?”(笑声)“来探望孩子的吗?这次要待多久呢? ell

我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。
(掌声)这段时间里,我看到了很多变化。
现在这份数据是挺吓人的,而我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。
我想和你们谈谈我的朋友,她在阿布达比教成人英语。
在一个晴朗的日子里,她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。
但最后却变成是她在学习所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。
还有这些植物是如何
被用作药材,化妆品,烹饪,香草。
这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢?当然是从他们的祖父母,甚至曾祖父母那里得来的。
不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。

And f c urse, theU.K. benef ited frm s me f thatlvely il e alth. 但遗憾的是,今天很多语言正在以前所未有的速度消失。
每14天就有一种语言消失,而与此同时,英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。
这其中有关联吗?我不知道。
但我知道的是,我见证过许多改变。
初次来到海湾地区时,我去了科威特。
当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。
其实,没有那么久啦,这有点太久以前了。
总之,我和其他25位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。
我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师,在科威特的国立学校任教。
我们被派到那里教英语,是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。
当然,英国也能得到些好处,产油国可是很有钱的。
kay. N th is is themajr chang e that I v e seen --h teaching English h as mrphedfrm beinga mutually beneficia l practice t being a massive

Englisheducatin,naturally. But if yu re nt a n ative spea ker, yu ha ve t passa test. 言归正传,我见过最大的改变,就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。
英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科,也不再只是英国的专利。
英语(教学)已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。
何乐而不为呢?毕竟,最好的教育来自于最好的大学,而根据最新的世界大学排名,那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。
所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育,但如果你不是以英文为母语,你就要通过考试。
N can itbe right t reject astudent nlinguistic ability a lne? Perha ps yu have a puter s cientist h s a geniu s. uld heneed the s ame langua ge as a la yer, fr ex ample? ell, I dn t t hink s. eEnglish te achers rej ect them a ll the tim e. e put a stp sign,and e stp them in t heir track s. They ca n t pursue their dre am any lng er, till t hey get En glish. N l et me putit this ay, if I met a Dutch s peaker h h ad the cur e fr cance r, uld I s tp him frm enteringmy British Universit y?

N i t can be d angerus tgive t muc h per t anarr segme nt f sciet y. Maybe t he barrier uld be tuniversal.但仅凭语言能力就拒绝学生这样对吗?譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学家,但他会需要有和律师一样的语言能力吗?我不这么认为。
但身为英语老师的我们,却总是拒绝他们。
我们处处设限,将学生挡在路上,使他们无法再追求自己的梦想,直到他们通过考试。
现在容我换一个方式说,如果我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人,而这个人能治愈癌症,我会阻止他进入我的英国大学吗?我想不会。
但事实上,我们的确在做这种事。
我们这些英语老师就是把关的。
你必须先让我们满意,使我们认定你的英文够好。
但这可能是危险的。
把太多的权力交由这么小的一群人把持,也许会令这种障碍太过普及。
ka y. But, Ihear yu sa y, hat abu t the rese arch? It s all in En glish. S t he bks are in Englis h, the jur nals are d ne in Engl ish, but t hat is a s elf-fulfil ling .

Thissystem equ ates intel ligence it h a knledg e f Englis h hich isquite . 于是,我听到你们问但是研究呢?研究报告都要用英文。
”的确,研究论著和期刊都要用英文发表,但这只是一种理所当然的现象。
有英语要求,自然就有英语供给,然后就这么循环下去。
我倒想问问大家,为什么不用翻译呢?想想伊斯兰的黄金时代,当时翻译盛行,人们把拉丁文和希腊文翻译成阿拉伯文或波斯文,然后再由拉伯文或波斯文翻译为欧洲的日耳曼语言以及罗曼语言。
于是文明照亮了欧洲的黑暗时代。
但不要误会我的意思,我不是反对英语教学或是在座所有的英语老师。
我很高兴我们有一个全球性的语言,这在今日尤为重要。
但我反对用英语设立障碍。
难道我们真希望世界上只剩下600种语言,其中又以英文或中文为主流吗?我们需要的不只如此。
那么我们该如何拿捏呢?这个体制把智能和英语能力画上等号这是相当武断
的。
And I ant t remindyu that th e giants u pn hse shu lders tday s stand d id nt have t have En glish, the y didn t h ave t pass an Englis h test. Ca se in pint, Einstein. He, by t he ay, ascnsideredremedial a t schl bec ause he as, in fact, dyslexic. But frtun ately fr t he rld, he did nt ha ve t passan English test. Bec ause theydidn t sta rt until 1964 ith TE FL, the Am erican tes t f Englis h. N it sexplded. T here are l ts and lts f tests f English.And millin s and mill ins f stud ents takethese test s
every ye ar. N yu m ight think, yu and m e, thse fe es aren tbad, theyre kay, bu t they are prhibitiv e t s many millins f pr peple. S immedia tely, e re rejecting them. 我想要提醒你们,扶持当代知识分子的这些“巨人肩膀不必非得具有英文能力,他们不需要通过英语考试。
爱因斯坦就是典型的例子。
顺便说一下,他在学校还曾被认为需要课外补习,因为他其实有阅读障碍。
但对整个世界来说,很幸运的当时他不需要通过英语考试,因为他们直到1964年才开始使用托福。
现在英语测验太泛滥了,有太多太多的英语测验,以及成千上万的学生每年都在参加这些考试。
现在你会认为,你和我都这么想,这些费用不贵,价钱满合理的。
但是对数百万的穷人来说,这些费用高不可攀。
所以,当下我们又拒绝了他们。
It bring s t mind a headlineI sa recen tly: Educa tin: The G reat Divid e. N I get it, I und erstand hy peple uld fcus n En glish. The y ant t gi ve their c hildren th e best cha nce in lif e. And t d that, the y need a e stern educ atin. Beca use, f cur se, the be st jbs g t peple utf the este rn Univers ities, tha t I put nearlier. I t s a circ ular thing. 这使我想起最近看到的一个新闻标题:
“教育:
大鸿沟”现在我懂了。
我了解为什么大家都重视英语,因为他们希望给孩子最好的人生机会。
为了达成这目的,他们需要西方教育。
毕竟,不可否认,最好的工作都留给那些西方大学毕业出来的人。
就像我之前说的,这是一种循环。
kay. L et me tell yu a stry abut t sc ientists,t Englishscientists. They ere ding an e xperimentt d ith ge netics and the freli mbs and th e hind lim bs f anima ls. But th ey culdn t get the r esults the y anted.

S bing, prb lem slved. If yu can t think a thught, y u are stuc k. But ifanther lan guage canthink that thught, t hen, by cp erating, e can achie ve and lea rn s muchmre. 好,我跟你们说一个关于两位科
学家的故事:
有两位英国科学家在做一项实验,是关于遗传学的,以及动物的前、后肢。
但他们无法得到他们想要的结果。
他们真的不知道该怎么办,直到来了一位德国的科学家。
他发现在英文里前肢和后肢是不同的二个字,但在遗传学上没有区别。
在德语也是同一个字。
所以,叮!问题解决了。
如果你不能想到一个念头,你会卡在那里。
但如果另一个语言能想到那念头,然后通过合作我们可以达成目的,也学到更多。

那是所阿拉伯中学。
在学校里,她得把这些知识翻译成英文,而她在班上却能在这些学科上拿到最好的成绩。
这告诉我们,当外籍学生来找我们,我们可能无法针对他们所知道的给予赞赏,因为那是来自于他们母语的知识。
当一个语言消失时,我们不知道还有什么也会一并失去。

重塑中国的一代中文演讲稿在来爱尔兰的前一晚,我应邀主持
了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。
猜猜谁是表演嘉宾?——苏珊大妈。
我告诉她,“我明天要去爱尔兰了。
”她歌声犹如天籁。
而且她还可以说点中文。
“送你葱。
”这不是“你好、谢谢”
之类的日常用语。
这组词翻译过来是免费给你青葱,为什么她要说这个呢?因为这是我们中国版的苏珊大妈很有名的一句歌词。
这位五
十几岁的大妈在上海以贩卖蔬菜为生。
她喜欢西方的歌剧,但是她不懂任何外语,所以她就把中文蔬菜名填做歌词。
当她在体育场里唱
到今夜无人入眠的最后一句时,她唱的是“送你葱”。
苏珊大妈和全
场八万观众一起唱“送你葱”,多有意思的场面。
我想苏珊大妈和这位在上海做蔬菜买卖的都属于不同寻常的人。
在业界所谓的娱乐圈,他们最不可能取得成功,但是他们的勇气和才华让他们成功了。
一场秀,一个平台给了他们实现梦想的舞台。
与众不同不难,从不同的
角度看我们都是不一样的。
我认为与众不同是好的,因为你有不同的看法,这给你机会去产生不同的影响。
我们这代人有幸见证和参与
了过去二三十年中国的历史性的转型。
我记得在九十年代,刚从大
学毕业的我申请了一份在北京五星级酒店销售部的工作。
在日本经理一个半小时的面试后,他最后说:
“杨小姐,你有什么问题要问我吗?”我鼓起勇气,定定神然后问道:
“您能告诉我销售部到底销售什么?”我对于五星级酒店的销售部的职责一点都摸不着头脑。
那是我在五星级酒店的第一天。
同时,我和上千名大学女生参加了一场由中国中央电视台举办的史无前例
的公开选拔。
制作人告诉我们他们想找一位可爱,天真,美丽的新面孔。
当轮到我时,我站起来说道,“为什么女孩在电视上必须是漂亮,甜美,无邪的,像个花瓶?为什么她们不能有她们的想法,她们自己的声音?”我想我一定得罪了评委。
但是事实上,我的发言给他们留下了深刻的印象。
接下来我进入了第二轮的选拔,然后是第三轮,第四轮。
在经过七轮的选拔后,我胜出了。
成为了一个国家电视台黄金时段节目的主持人。
不管你们相不相信,那是中国电视上第一个节目可以允许主持人自由发挥而不是去读审查后的稿子。
这个节目的观众人数高达两到三千万。
几年后,我决定去美国哥伦比亚大学进修。
之后我有了自己的传媒公司,这是在我刚毕业的时候想都不敢想的。
我和我的团队做了很多事情。
在过去的这些年,我采访了上千人。
有时候有年轻人走过来对我说:
“杨澜,你改变了我的生活。
”我也为此而自豪。
接下来我们一起见证了中国更多的变化。
我参与了北京申奥,出席了上海世博会。
我看到中国拥抱世界,世界接纳中国??但是有时候我在想,当今的年轻人追求什么?他们有什么不同?他们如何去创造中国的未来,往大了说,世界的未来?今天我想讲讲在社交媒体这个大舞台上的年轻人他们是谁?他们是怎样的?这个二十岁左右的漂亮女孩叫郭美美。
她在中国版的推特--微博上炫耀她拥有的昂贵的手包,衣服,车子。
她自称是红十字商会的经理。
她没有意识到她踩到了一根敏感的神经,引起了全民对于红十字公信力的质疑。
如此激烈的质问使得红
