Guess who was the performing guestSusan 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 line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed tofill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year 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 Wall Sheraton -- it's still there. So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, "So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me"I summoned my courage and poise and said,"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell" I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls. The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, "Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice" I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they were impressed by my words. And so I was in thesecond round of competition, and then the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it. So I wason a national television prime-time show. And believe it or not, thatwas the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script. (Applause)And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the . and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career. So wedo a lot of things. I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, "Lan, you changed my life," and I feel proud of that. But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country. I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games. I was representing the Shanghai Expo. I saw China embracing the world and vice versa. But then sometimes I'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the worldSo today I want to talk about young people through the platform ofsocial media. First of all, who are they [What] do they look like Wellthis is a girl called Guo Meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful. She showedoff her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter. And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce. She didn't realize that shestepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross. The controversy was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity. Allthose expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend,who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce. It's very complicated to explain. But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it. It is still boiling. It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparencyin the past. And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and timespent on it tripled. , a major news portal, alone has more than 140million microbloggers. On Tencent, 200 most popular blogger -- it's not me -- it's a movie star, and she has more than million followers, or fans. About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. And because, as you know, the traditional media is stillheavily controlled by the government,social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit. But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better. So how are they different First of all, most of them were bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. Most of them have fairly good education. The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent. In cities, 80 percent of kids go to they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030. And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick. So it means young coupleswill have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people. College graduates are not in short urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 . dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. So what do they doThey have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves "tribe of ants." And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. That ratio in Americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people. They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas. Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging. They work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare. And they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation,tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce. Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease. But they died because of all different personal reasons. But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside,they find themselves very welcome locally,because with the knowledge, skills and networkstheyhave learned in the cities, with the assistance of the Internet, they're able to create more jobs,upgrade local agriculture and create new businessin the less developed market. So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background. The first one isthe Engels coefficient,which explains that the cost of daily necessitieshas dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent. But then in the lasttwo years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost. The Gini coefficient has already passed the dangerous line of .Now it's -- even worse than that in America -- showing us the income inequality. And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility. And also, the bitterness and evenresentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread. So any accusations of corruptionor backdoor dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about. Social justice and governmentaccountability runs the first in what they the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot ofreports on the forced demolition of private it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation. Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest. So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet,peoplecry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the rightto order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet. We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food. And guess what, we have faked beef. They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil fromrestaurant slop. So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet. And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they're a little bit lost in termsof what they want for their personal life. China is soon to pass the .as the number one market for luxury brands -- that's not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere. But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 . dollars. They're not rich at all. They're taking those bags and clothes as a sense ofidentity and social status. And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a ofcourse, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called "naked" wedding, or "naked" marriage. It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love. And also, people are doing good through social media. And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogsfor food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watchingthrough microblogging. People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck. And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued. And here also people are helping to find missing children. A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet. After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment. People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability And also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same timeI guess these are the questions people are going to answer. And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.杨澜TED演讲:重塑中国的一代中文演讲稿在来爱尔兰的前一晚,我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。

graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. so whatdo they do? they have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves "tribe of ants." and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.

"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 s 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 line from our chinese parallel susan boyle -- a 50-some year-oldwoman, 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 chinese. (laughter) and the last sentence of nessun dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." so [as] susan boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. that was hilarious.so i guess both susan boyle and this vegetable vendor in shanghai belonged to otherness. they were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. and a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. well, being different is not that difficult. we are all different from different perspectives. but i think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. you may have the chance to make a difference.my generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of china that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. i remember that in the year of 1990, when i was graduating from college, i was applying for a job in the sales department of the firstfive-star hotel in beijing, great wall sheraton -- it's still there. so after being interrogated by this japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, "so, miss yang, do you have any questions to ask me?" i summoned my courage and poise andsaid, "yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?" i didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel.well after a few years, i decided to go to the u.s. and columbia university to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media pany, which was unthought of during the years that i started my career. so we do a lot of things. i've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. and sometimes i have young people approaching me say, "lan, you changed my life," and i feel proud of that. but then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country.i was in beijing's bidding for the olympic games. i was representing the shanghai expo. i saw china embracing the world and vice versa. but then sometimes i'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? how are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of china, or at large, the world?so today i want to talk about young people through the platform of social media. firstof all, who are they? [what] do they look like? well this is a girl called guo meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful. she showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the chinese version of twitter. and she claimed to be the general manager of red cross at the chamber of merce. shedidn't realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of red cross. the controversy was so heated that the red cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.so far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity. all those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision of red cross at chamber of merce. it's very plicated to explain. but anyway, the public still doesn't buy it. it is still boiling. it shows us a general mistrust of government orgovernment-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past. and also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.microblog boomed in the year of XX, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. sina., a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. on tencent, 200 million. the most popular blogger -- it's not me -- it's a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans. about 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. and because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit. but because you don't have many other openings, the heat ing out of thisopening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.so through microblogging, we are able to understand chinese youth even better. so how are they different? first of all, most of them were born in the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. and because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. that could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. most of them have fairly good education. the illiteracy rate in china among this generation is under one percent. in cities, 80 percent of kids go to college. but they are facing an aging china with a population above 65 years old ing up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of XX. and you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick. so it means young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.so making a living is not that easy for young people. college graduates are not in short supply. in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. so what do they do? they have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they callthemselves "tribe of ants." and for those who are ready toget married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. that ratio in america would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them

belonging. they work for longer hours with less ine, less social welfare. and they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from europe or america for the products they produce. last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern oem manufacturing pound in china: 13 young workers in their late teens

degree from columbia university in the united states, is one of china's 50 most successful entrepreneurs and probably china's wealthiest self-made woman. yang lan was 21 in her last year at the beijing foreign studies university in 1990 when she auditioned for – and won -- the position of host of the zheng da variety show on china central television. within a year zheng da, a prime-time-saturday celebrity quiz and talk show, was china's top-rated tv program, with an audience of 220 million. despite her celebrity, yang lan quit the show after four years to go to new york where she spent two years earning a master's degree at columbia university's school of international & public affairs. yang's tv skills are matched by a keen mind for business. in 1999, with her husband, bruno wu zheng, she started her own media pany, sun television cyber networks (sun tv).。

杨澜ted演讲稿(精选多篇)第一篇:杨澜在ted的演讲稿yang lan: the generation that’s remaking chinathe 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 sta dium. 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.

(laughter) and the last sentence of nessun dorma that she was singing in the stadium was “gre en onion for free.“ so [as] susan boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. that was hilarious.so i guess both susan boyle and this vegetable vendor in shanghai belonged to otherness. they were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. and a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. well, being different is not that difficult. we are all different from different perspectives. but i think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. you may have the chance to make a difference.my generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of china that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. i remember that in the year 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 wall sheraton -- it’s still there. so after being interroga ted by this japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, “so, miss yang, do you have any questions to ask me?“ i summoned my courage and poise and said, “yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?“ i didn’t have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel.well after a few years, i decided to go to the u.s. and columbia university to pursue mypostgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that i started my career. so we do a lot of things. i’ve interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. and sometimes i have young people approaching me say, “lan, you changed my life,“ and i feel proud of that. but then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country. i was in beijing’s bidding for the olympic games. i was representing the shanghai expo. i saw china embracing the world and vice versa. but then sometimes i’m thinking, w hat are today’s young generation up to? how are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of china, or at large, the world?so today i want to talk about young people through the platform of social media. firstof all, who are they? [what] do they look like? well this is a girl called guo meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful. she showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the chinese version of twitter. and she claimed to be the general manager of red cross at the chamber of commerce. she didn’t realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of red cross. the controversy was so heated that the red cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.so far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity. all those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision of red cross at chamber of commerce. it’s very complicated to explain. but anyway, the public still doesn’t buy it. it is still boiling. it shows us a general mistrust of governmen t or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past. and also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.microblog boomed in the year of 20XX, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. , a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. on tencent, 200 million. the most popular blogger -- it’s not me -- it’s a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans. about 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. and because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit. but because you don’t have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.so through microblogging, we are able to understand chinese youth even better. so how are they different? first of all, most of them were born in the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. and because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. that could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we’re in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. most of them have fairly good education. the illiteracy rate in china among this generation is under one percent. incities, 80 percent of kids go to college. but they are facing an aging china with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 20XX. and you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they’re sick. so it mean s young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.so making a living is not that easy for young people. college graduates are not in short supply. in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. so what do they do? they have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves “tribe of ants.“ and for those who are ready to get married and bu y their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. that ratio in america would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china it’s 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people. they find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas. most of them don’t want to go back to the countryside, but they don’t have the sense of belonging. they work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare. and they’re more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from europe or america for the products they produce. last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern oem manufacturing compound in china: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease. but they died because of all different personal reasons. but this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.for those who do return back to the countryside, they find themselves very welcome locally, because with the knowledge, skills and networks they have learned in the cities, with the assistance of the internet, they’re able to create more jobs, upgrade local agriculture and create new business in the less developed market. so for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.these diagrams show a more general social background. the first one is the engels coefficient, which explains that the cost of daily necessities has dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent. but then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost. the gini coefficient has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4. now it’s 0.5 -- even worse than that in america -- showing us the income inequality. and so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility. and also, the bitterness and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread. so any accusations of corruption or backdoor dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.so through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about. social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand. for the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and developmenthave let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property. and it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation. sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest. so when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the internet, people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.so the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court. similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the internet. we heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food. and guess what, we have faked beef. they have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef. and then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop. so all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the internet. and fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.while young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they’re a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life. china is soon to pass the u.s. as the number one market for luxury brands -- that’s not including the chinese expenditures in europe and elsewhere. but you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 u.s. dollars. they’re not rich at all. they’re taking those ba gs and clothes as a sense of identity and social status. and this is a girl explicitly saying on a tv dating show that she would rather cry in a bmw than smile on a bicycle. but of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a bmw or [on] a bicycle.so in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called “naked“ wedding, or “naked“ marriage. it does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love. and also, people are doing good through social media. and the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogs for food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging. people were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck. and after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued. and here also people are helping to find missing children. a father posted his son’s picture onto the internet. after thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.so happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it’s about the environment. people are thinking about the following questions: are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher gdp? how are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? and also, how capable is the system of self-correctness to keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time? i guess these are the questions people are going to answer. and our younger generation aregoing to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves. thank you very much.第三篇:杨澜ted演讲杨澜ted演讲:重塑中国的年轻一代讲义yang lan, born in 1968 in beijing, who holds a master’s degree from columbia university in the united states, is one of china’s 50 most successful entrepreneurs and probably china’s wealthiest self-made woman. yang lan was 21 in her last year at the beijing foreign studies university in 1990 when she auditioned for – and won -- the position of host of the zheng da variety show on china central television. within a year zheng da, a prime-time-saturday celebrity quiz and talk show, was china’s top-rated tv program, with an audience of 220 million. despite her celebrity, yang lan quit the show after four years to go to new york where she spent two years earning a master’s degree at columbia university’s school of international & public affairs. yang’s tv skills are matched by a keen mind for business. in 1999, with her husband, bruno wu zheng, she started her own media company, sun television cyber networks (sun tv). traded on the hong kong stock exchange since last april, sun tv was valued at $179 million on nov. 3. yang owns 35%, worth $63 million.yang’s mother was an engineer, and her father taught english literature at beijing foreign studies university and sometimes served as

杨澜TED英语演讲稿:怎样让每个人都可以成为自己人生的导演?

杨澜TED英语演讲稿:怎样让每个人都可以成为自己人生的导演?

杨澜TED英语演讲稿:怎样让每个人都可以成为自己人生的导演?IntroductionTED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Talks are known for their inspirational messages that promote ideas that challenge the way we think and encourage us to reimagine the world around us. One such TED Talk was delivered by Yang Lan, a Chinese television journalist and entrepreneur, where she talked about how we can all become the directors of our own lives. In today's fast-paced world, where we often get lostin the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it is essential to take a step back and reflect on our goals and aspirations. Yang Lan's talk provides a roadmap for us to become the directors of our own lives.The Reality of LifeThe world we live in is complex and ever-changing. We are constantly bombarded with countless stimuli from our environment, which often diverts our attention away from what truly matters to us. We often find ourselves reacting tosituations rather than taking charge of our lives. This is where Yang Lan's message comes in.Become the Director of Your LifeYang Lan's message is simple yet powerful. She encourages us to take charge of our own lives by becoming the directorsof our own story. We must have a clear vision of where wewant to go in life and how we want to get there. Thisrequires us to develop a clear understanding of our strengths, weaknesses, and values. Only then can we make informedchoices that align with our true aspirations.Identify Your AspirationsThe first step towards becoming the director of your own life is to identify your aspirations. What do you want to achieve in life? What drives you? What are your passions? These are some of the questions that we must ask ourselves to identify our aspirations. Once we have identified our aspirations, we must take charge of our lives and worktowards achieving our goals.Develop a PlanOnce we have identified our aspirations, the next step is to develop a plan to achieve our goals. This requires us to break down our goals into smaller, manageable steps. We must set clear, achievable targets and work towards them systematically. It is essential to have a flexible approach as we may need to adapt our plans as we go along.Take ActionIdentifying our aspirations and developing a plan are crucial steps towards becoming the director of our own lives. However, action is what makes our dreams a reality. We must take action towards achieving our goals, no matter how small the steps may be. Every step we take towards our goals builds momentum and gives us the confidence to take further action.Embrace FailuresOne of the most significant barriers to becoming the director of our own lives is the fear of failure. We must learn to embrace our failures and use them as learning opportunities. Failure is not a setback; it is a steppingstone towards success. We must take ownership of our failures and learn from them to improve our future outcomes.ConclusionIn conclusion, becoming the director of our own lives is not an easy task. It requires us to take charge of our lives and work towards achieving our aspirations systematically. Yang Lan's message inspires us to take control of our lives and make the most out of the opportunities presented to us.We must identify our aspirations, develop a plan, take action, and embrace failures to achieve success. With this approach, each one of us can become the director of our own story and achieve our true potential.。

杨澜Ted演讲稿:年轻的一代将会改变国

杨澜Ted演讲稿:年轻的一代将会改变国在我去苏格兰的前一晚,中国达人秀邀请我到上海主持总决赛体育馆的现场有八万名观众。

知道特别嘉宾是谁吗?苏珊大妈。

我告诉她:“我明天要去苏格兰。

”她不但歌声非常动听,还学会了说几句中文。

她说:“送你葱”这句话的意思不是“你好,”“谢谢,”那类的话。

“送你葱”意思是“免费的大葱。

”她为什么要说这句话呢?因为“送你葱”是来自有着”中国苏珊大妈”之称的一位五十多岁在上海卖菜的女摊贩,她非常喜欢西方歌剧,但她不懂歌词的意思也不会说英语,法语,或是意大利语,所以她以独特的方式来记歌词将歌词全部换成蔬菜名。

(笑声)意大利歌剧公主彻夜未眠的最后一句她当时就是以”送你葱”来演唱的。

当苏珊大妈说了这句话的时候,现场的八万名观众一起跟着唱了起来。

当时的场面十分有趣。

我想苏珊大妈还有那位上海的卖菜大婶都有她们的独特之处。

大家通常会觉得她们无法在娱乐圈这个行业里闯出天下,但是才能和勇气让她们得到了肯定。

一场秀和一个平台让她们有了一个可以圆梦的舞台。

其实要与众不同不是什么难事。

我们都有独特之处,可以从不同的角度来看。

我觉得与众不同其实很好,因为你有不同的想法。

你也许可以在某一方面有影响。

我这个年代的人是幸运的我们目睹并参与了中国历史性的变化。

在过去的二,三十年里中国发生了很多变化。

我还记得1990年的时候。

我刚好读完大学,我当时申请了一个营销的工作地点是北京的一个五星级宾馆,这个宾馆现在还有,叫喜来登长城饭店。

在被一位日本经理询问了半小时之后,他在面试要结束时说,“杨小姐,你有问题要问我吗?”我鼓起了勇气,镇定地问:“你能不能告诉我,你们卖什么的?”因为我当时完全不知道一个五星级饭店的销售部要做什么。

那是我第一次走进一家五星级饭店。

与此同时,我参加了由中国国家电台举办的试听会这是第一个向大众开放的试听会现场还有上千名的女大生。

制作人告诉我们他们在找甜美,单纯和漂亮的新面孔。

当轮到我的时候,我起身问道,”为什么在电视上的女人一定要长得漂亮,甜美,单纯还要配合度高?为什么她们不能有自己的想法说自己的话?”我以为我的话可能有点冒犯了评委。

杨澜在TED的演讲稿引言尊敬的主持人,亲爱的观众朋友们:大家好!我很荣幸能够站在这个舞台上,与大家分享我对人生和事业的一些思考和见解。

今天,我想谈论的主题是“改变世界的力量”。

我们生活在一个纷繁复杂的世界,每个人都希望能够影响和改变世界,不同的人有不同的方式和渠道。

而我,选择了媒体这个平台,用文字和画面记录和传播那些真实而有意义的故事。

这是我的职业,也是我的激情所在。

人生的意义人生的意义是什么?这是我曾经长时间思考的问题。

在媒体行业工作多年后,我更加深刻地认识到,人生的意义在于影响别人,改变他们的生活。

这就是我选择成为一名媒体工作者的原因。

通过媒体,我见证了许多平凡人的不平凡故事。

他们中的一些人曾经是无名之辈,但通过他们的努力和奋斗,他们改变了自己的命运,并且影响了周围的人。

这些故事鼓舞着我,让我坚定地相信,每个人都有能力去改变世界。

媒体的力量媒体是一种强大的力量,它可以触达全球范围内的人群,传播信息,引起关注,激发对改变的渴望。

在信息时代,媒体具有特殊的价值和意义。

然而,媒体的力量既有正面的影响,也有负面的影响。

正是因为媒体的力量巨大,所以我们必须用它来传播真实、有价值的信息,为社会做出积极的贡献。

我们需要关注那些在默默无闻中创造奇迹的人,记录并传达他们的故事,让更多的人看到希望和可能。

探索和创新改变世界的力量不仅仅源于媒体的传播,还需要我们持续的探索和创新。

时代在不断变化,我们需要敏锐地抓住机遇,不断调整和改进自己的方式和方法。

作为一名媒体工作者,我始终保持着求知的态度。

只有不断学习和进步,才能站在时代的前沿,才能拥有影响力。

我们需要不断拓宽自己的思维边界,深入了解不同的文化、社会和人群,以更加全面和客观的视角来观察和呈现世界。

感谢与展望感谢大家对我的支持和鼓励。

感谢TED给我这个机会,让我在这里分享我的思考和见解。

我相信,只要我们用心去观察世界,用心去改变世界,我们就能找到改变世界的力量。

【精品】杨澜ted演讲稿篇一:杨澜双语励志演讲稿以下是杨澜在大会上的一篇题为(重塑中国的一代)的演讲稿中英原文。

她在演讲中分享了自己的人生经历,并讲述了当下中国的一些火热现象,演讲虽然不长,但是很多观点都很精辟,值得一看。

篇二:杨澜演讲:重塑中国的年轻一代(中英文对照)杨澜演讲:重塑中国的年轻一代(中英文对照),“’”80,000?,“’”,[]’“”“,”“”?—50--,,,’,()“”[],80,000来苏格兰(做讲演)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()。

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”()。

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“”。

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()。

,,,我想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。

20,301990,,-,—’,,“,,?”,“,,?”’--我这一代中国人很幸运的目睹并且参与了中国在过去二三十年中经历的巨变。

杨澜TED演讲稿中英文

Yang Lan: The generation that's remaking ChinaThe 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 line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year 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 Wall Sheraton -- it's still there. So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, "So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?"I summoned my courage and poise and said,"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?" I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls. The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, "Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?" I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they were impressed by my words. And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it. So I was on a national television prime-time show. And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script. (Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career. So we do a lot of things. I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, "Lan, you changedmy life," and I feel proud of that. But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country. I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games. I was representing the Shanghai Expo. I saw China embracing the world and vice versa. But then sometimes I'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media. First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful. She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter. And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce. She didn't realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross. The controversy was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity. All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend,who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce. It's very complicated to explain. But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it. It is still boiling. It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past. And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. , a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger -- it's not me -- it's a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans. About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government,social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit. But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better. So how are they different? First of all, most of them were bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. Most of them have fairly good education. The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent. In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030. And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick. So it means young coupleswill have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people. College graduates are not in short supply.Inurban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. So what do they do? They have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves "tribe of ants." And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. That ratio in Americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people. They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas. Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging. They work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare. And they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation,tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce. Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease. But they died because of all different personal reasons. But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside,they find themselves very welcome locally,because with the knowledge, skills and networksthey have learned in the cities, with the assistance of the Internet, they're able to create more jobs,upgrade local agriculture and create new businessin the less developed market. So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background. The first one is the Engels coefficient,which explains that the cost of daily necessitieshas dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent. But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost. The Gini coefficient has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4. Now it's 0.5 -- even worse than that in America -- showing us the income inequality. And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility. And also, the bitterness and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread. So any accusations of corruptionor backdoor dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about. Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation. Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest. So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governmentsto the court. Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet. We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food. And guess what, we have faked beef. They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop. So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet. And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they're a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life. China is soon to pass the U.S. as the number one market for luxury brands -- that's not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere. But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S. dollars. They're not rich at all. They're taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status. And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called "naked" wedding, or "naked" marriage. It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love. And also, people are doing good through social media. And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogsfor food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watchingthrough microblogging. People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck. And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued. And here also people are helping to find missing children. A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet. After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment. People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?I guess these are the questions people are going to answer. And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.杨澜TED演讲:重塑中国的一代中文演讲稿在来爱尔兰的前一晚,我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。

People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck. And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued. And here also people are helping to find missing children. A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet. After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment. People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the system of self-correctness to keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time? I guess these are the questions people are going to answer. And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.(Applause)。

杨澜TED 演讲稿——The generation that'sThe generation that's remaking China 重塑中国年轻的一代(一)杨澜——苏格兰TED演讲稿--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------里面有许多话还是值得深思的,前段时间在北外的校庆杨澜也有去,可惜没有机会一睹风采。

一个很有思想的女性。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious.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 Wall Sheraton -- it's still there. So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, "So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?"I summoned my courage and poise and said, "Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?" I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.我这一代中国人很幸运的目睹并且参与了中国在过去二三十年中经历的巨变。

我记得1990年,当我刚大学毕业时,我申请了当时北京的第一家五星级酒店——长城喜来登酒店的销售部门的工作。

这家酒店现在仍在北京。

当我被一位日本籍经理面试了一个半小时之后,他问到,“杨小姐,你有什么想问我的吗?”,我屏住呼吸,问道“是的,你能告诉我,具体我需要销售些什么吗?”当时的我,对五星级酒店的销售部门没有任何概念,事实上,那是我第一次进到一家五星级酒店。

Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever openaudition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls. The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, "Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?" I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they were impressed by my words. And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it. So I was on a national television prime-time show. And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script. (Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.我当时也在参加另一场“面试”,中国国家电视台的首次公开试镜,与我一起参与选拔的还有另外1000名大学女毕业生。
