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 gottalent“ show in shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. 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 fo r 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. work for longer hours with less ine, less socialwelfare. 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 and early 20s mitted 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 thecountryside,they find themselves very welelocally,because with the knowledge, skills and worksthey have learned in the cities, with the assistance of the inter, 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 engelscoefficient,which explains that the cost of daily necessitieshas dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family ine, 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 ineinequality. 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 decadeor 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 inter,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 inter. 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 thingshave aroused a huge outcry from the inter. 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 abouttheir 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 mitment 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 offeringvolunteer 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 inter. 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 personalvalues, 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.第二篇：杨澜ted演讲稿杨澜ted演讲稿the night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final of “china"s gottalent“ 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 n ext day.“ she sang beautifully, and sheeven 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 fillin 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 beingdifferent 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 ofchina 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 le t 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 wasunthought 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 approac hing 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 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. she didn"trealize 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 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 2022, withvisitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. sina., a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. on tencent, 200 million. the mostpopular 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 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. in cities, 80 percent of kids go tocollege. 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 2022. and you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the eldersfinancially, 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 startingsalary 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 whoare 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 america would only cost a couple five years to earn, but inchina it"s 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percentof 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 ine, less social welfare. and they"re more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciationof 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 intheir late teens and early 20s mitted suicide, justone by one like causing a contagious disease. but they died because of all different personal reasons. butthis whole incident aroused a huge outcry 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-saturdaycelebrity 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 works (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, andher father taught english literature at beijingforeign studies university and sometimes served as the official translator for former chinese premier zhou enlai. yang lan was appointed one of the image ambassadors of beijing in its 2022 bid in january, joining deng yaping and two other chinese women to be so honored: gong li, the film actress, and sang

they？ 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？as is known to us, our young generation we was born in the 80s and 90s under the one-child policy at a time when china has undergone so many enormous historical transformations, there is no doubt that thy are different and in her address, i have observed agreat many sparkling points from their descent behaviors. first of all, most of them are well-educated. the illiteracy rate among this generation is under one percent. this totally indicates that they have great knowledge and wisdom. they are improvingour nation’s soft influence so that it won’t take long time for us to build a power ful china. what’s more, theyhave rather high sense of social responsibilities and missions. on one hand, they have undertaken their obligations to the fullest extent. among the city’s workers, 80% are young people. regardless of lower ine, less social welfare and worse living conditions, they just sacrifice themselves to deepen our country’s industrialization and urbanization. some of them even return to the countryside a less developed market where with their intelligence they are able to create more jobs, upgrade local agriculture and create new business. in their hands issues concerning agriculture, countryside and farmers have been nicely solved. onthe other hand, they have made most of their rights todo something meaningful. facing a series offrustrating social phenomena, such as guomeimei case, forced demolition of private property, public safety, they cry for social justice and government accountability. finally it works out. it’s certain that they are participating inpublic policy-making. also they are doing good through social media, saving those abandoned dogs. in addition, they have the unique spirit of challenging the traditional culture.naked wedding is their creativity. they are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and a wedding banquet to show their mitment to true love. it is those shining points that have presented us a different view of the young generation. therefore, they have the chance to make a difference.of course, for this generation, when they purse their happiness, they are suffering from a variety of adversities which have been mentioned in the speech, an aging china, the skyrocketing real estate price, the ine inequality the polluted environment etc. but iam deeply convinced that our younger generation has the abilities to overe them, have the potentials to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economicgrowth, to keep sustainability and stability, for they truly know that their personal fates are closely related to our nation’s development and prosperity. they will have hopeful prospect!第五篇：杨澜ted演讲的单词列表vocabularyintroductionentrepreneur 企业家the oprah of china 中国的奥普拉insight 洞察microblog 微型injustice 不公正--- part 2fortunate

澜ted演讲稿全文澜ted演讲稿全文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 sangtogether.

中国的新一代-杨澜
中国的新一代杨澜ted演讲稿及视频：（中英字幕）kira86 于2011-10-12发布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.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 changed my life," and I feel proud of that. But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformationof 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 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 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 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 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 toearn, 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 development have 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 theChinese 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 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 are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.(Applause)。

姓名：XXX 部门： XX部YOUR LOGO Your company name2 0 X X杨澜ted演讲稿杨澜ted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 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-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第2 页共2 页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 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 s. andso i was in the second round of petition, and then the third and the fourth. after seven rounds of petition, 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 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. first of all, who are they? [what] do they look like? well this is a girl called guo meimei -- 20years 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. 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 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 mediais still heavily

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

杨澜ted演讲稿第一篇：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 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 thehistoric 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 istarted 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. 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 2014, with visitors doubled and timespent 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 boysto 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 2014. 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.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 -- squeezedin 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(更多精彩内容请访问首页) 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 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 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 incomeinequality. 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 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 peoplehave 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 offeringvolunteer 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 reunionof 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.第二篇：杨澜ted演讲稿杨澜ted演讲稿the night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final

杨澜TED英语演讲稿：全球化时代下的文化交流与理解
杨澜TED英语演讲稿：全球化时代下的文化交流与理解Yang Lan's TED Talk: Cultural Exchange and Understanding in the Globalization EraIn the age of globalization, cultural exchange and understanding have become more important than ever. People from different backgrounds and cultures are now more connected than ever before, thanks to the rapid development of technology and communication. However, with this increased interconnectivity comes a variety of challenges that we must face in order to foster a truly global community.This is where Yang Lan's TED Talk comes in. In her talk, she highlights the importance of cultural exchange and collaboration in the modern world. As a well-respected journalist and television personality, Yang Lan brings a unique perspective to the table that is both insightful and relatable.Throughout her talk, Yang Lan emphasizes the need for greater cultural understanding and empathy. She argues that it is only by truly engaging with and appreciating different cultures that we can build strong relationships and overcomethe barriers that so often divide us. She suggests that this can be achieved through a variety of methods, including travel, language learning, and simply listening to thestories of others.One of the key themes that runs throughout Yang Lan'stalk is the notion of "cultural courage." She argues that in order to build meaningful connections with people from different cultures, we must be willing to step out of our comfort zones and embrace new experiences. This means embracing the unknown, taking risks, and being open to the perspectives of others.Yang Lan's talk also touches on the role of technology in promoting cultural exchange. While she acknowledges that technological advancements have undoubtedly made it easierfor people to connect across the globe, she also cautions against relying too heavily on technology as a substitute for true human interaction. Instead, she suggests that we must be intentional about using technology to facilitate meaningful conversations and foster genuine connections with others.Overall, Yang Lan's TED Talk serves as a powerful reminder of the role that cultural exchange and understandingplay in our increasingly interconnected world. By emphasizing the importance of empathy, cultural courage, and intentional engagement, she offers a powerful vision for how we can build a more just and harmonious global community.。

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. [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 sa ng 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 ofcompetition, 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 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 beijin g’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 commer ce. 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 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 bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. and because of selected abortion by families who favored boysto 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 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 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.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 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(更多精彩内容请访问首页) work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare. and they’re more vulne rable 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 incomeinequality. 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 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 expenditure s 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 on to the internet. after thousands of [unclear], the child was found, andwe 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 person al 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.第二篇：杨澜ted演讲稿杨澜ted演讲稿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 c hinese. [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 “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

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英语演讲稿
杨澜TED英语演讲稿Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.I stand before you today with a sense of humility and inspiration. It’s an honor to be here to share my thoughts and experiences. I want to discuss one of the most important issues facing modern society: our need for a gender-neutral world.Although we have made significant progress in the West in recent decades to ensure gender equality, gender inequality is still deeply ingrained in many aspects of life. Women are widely underrepresented in leadership, politics, STEM fields, and even the media. Gender inequality in many developed and developing countries is particularly severe in the areas of education, healthcare, and employment. This means that women are still far from being fully empowered, and our society continues to be dominated by men.However, the problem is not only our society's systemic structure, but also the mindset of men and women. Gender inequality is deeply rooted in our consciousness. It's present in the language we use, stereotypes we create, and thinking patterns we form. We need to challenge these approaches and beliefs to transform the social norm.This is why I believe that we need a gender-neutral world. By this, I mean the need to break down gender stereotypes and gender roles in both sexes. It's important not just to achieve gender equality but for all individuals to realize their full potential.So what can we do?First, we need to reform education to become more gender-neutral. The traditional education prioritizes boys' academic and leadership abilities and disapproves girls' assertiveness and competitiveness. In modern society, everyone should be entitled to equal education regardless of gender, and schools should provide equal opportunities for both genders. Schools should not only teach academic subjects but also encourage girls to participate in extracurricular activities. We should promote education systems that empower students' individualism and creativity rather thanpre-set gender roles.Second, we need to change the way we define gender roles on a societal level. Instead of attributing specific expectations based on one's gender, we should adopt a more flexible approach to gender roles. This would include more flexibility in work and family responsibilities. Parents, for example, should be equally responsible for raising children.Lastly, men need to be involved in the movement for a gender-neutral world as well. Many men have already supported feminism, but many others are hesitant, seeing it as a women's issue. Men can help by calling out gender biases in society and taking responsibility for their actions. Empowering women and girls isn't just about giving them equal rights but providing support and encouragement as they seek to achieve their full potential.In concluding, let's remember that gender roles are deeply ingrained in society, both in sexes. But it’s never too late to make achange. We need to move towards gender neutrality, in which individuals are judged on their own merits, not on their sex or gender. We must empower every individual to see their inherent worth and potential and support them in pursuing their dreams. Thank you for listening.。

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 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. 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 boysto 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.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 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 incomeinequality. 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 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 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 offeringvolunteer 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.。

杨澜演讲稿
所以对于年轻人而言，生活并不是容易。本科毕业生也不在是紧缺资源。在城市中，本科生的月起薪通常是400美元（2500人民币），而公寓的平均月租金却是500美元。所以他们的解决方式是合租——挤在有限的空间中以节省开支，他们叫自己”蚁族。“ 对于那些准备好结婚并希望购买一套公寓的中国年轻夫妇而言，他们发现他们必须要不间断的工作30到40年才可以负担得起一套公寓。对于同样的美国年轻夫妇而言，他们只需要五年时间。
通过微博上很火的话题，我们可以看到年轻人的关注点。社会公正和政府的公信力是他们首要需求的。在过去的十年中，急速的城市化让民众读到太多强制私人住户拆迁的新闻，这引发了年轻一代的愤怒和不理解。有时候，被拆迁的住户以自杀和自焚的方式来抗议（强制拆迁行为）。当这些事件越来越常在互联网上被揭露出来，人们期待政府可以采取一些更积极的制止行动。
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。节目制作人说，他们希望找到一位甜美，无辜（LOL），漂亮的新鲜面孔。轮到我的时候，我问道“为什么在电视屏幕上，女性总应该表现出甜美漂亮，甚至是服从性的一面？为什么她们不能有她们自己的想法和声音？“我觉得我的问题甚至有点冒犯到了他。但实际上，他们对我的表现印象深刻。我进入了第二轮选拔，第三轮，第四轮，直至最后的第七场选拔，我是唯一一个走到最后的试镜者。我从此走上了国家电视台黄金时段的荧幕。你可能不相信，但在当时，我所主持的电视节目是中国第一个，不让主持人念已经审核过的稿件的节目（掌声）。我每周需要面对两亿到三亿左右的电视观众。

杨澜在ted的演讲稿
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。

澜ted演讲稿全文澜ted演讲稿全文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 sangtogether. That was hilarious.来格兰(做TED讲演)的前夜，我被邀请去做”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(来自格兰的，因参加英国达人秀走红的)珊大妈(Susan Boyle)。
我告诉她，“我明天就要启程去格兰。
”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”“，她说的是——“送你葱”。
为什么?这句话其实于中国版的“珊大妈”——一位五十岁的以卖菜为生，却对西歌剧有出奇爱好的中年妇女(蔡洪平)。
这位中国的珊大妈并不懂英文，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。
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 fromdifferent 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 couldyou 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。
当我被一位日本籍经理面试了一个半小时之后，他问到，“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 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 kindof 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。
节目制作人说，他们希望找到一位甜美，无辜(LoL)，漂亮的新鲜面。
轮到我的时候，我问道“为什么在电视屏幕上，女性总应该表现出甜美漂亮，甚至是服从性的一面?为什么她们不能有她们自己的想法和声音?“我觉得我的问题甚至有点冒犯到了他。
但实际上，他们对我的表现印象深刻。
我进入了第二轮选拔，第三轮，第四轮，直至最后的第七场选拔，我是唯一一个走到最后的试镜者。
我从此走上了电视台黄金时段的荧幕。
你可能不相信，但在当时，我所主持的电视节目是中国第一个，不让主持人念已经审核过的稿件的节目(掌声)。
我每需要面对两亿到三亿左右的电视观众。
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 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 witnessthe 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?几年以后，我决定来美国哥伦比亚大学继续深造，之后也开始运营自己的媒体公司，这也是我在职业生涯初始时所没有预料到的。
