第一篇:ted演讲中英文演讲稿A Young Idler,An Old BeggarAlmost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying:A young idler,an old beggar. Throughout history,we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life,during which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition,one is less likely to be under great pressure from career,family and health problems when young. Therefore,a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.Of course,we all know:no pains,no gains. If we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us,it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students,we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.译文少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲几乎所有人都知道中国有一句老话:少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲.通过阅读历史,我们从一个又一个的案例当中得知,这句话被证实是真确的.不用说都知道,在青年时期,人的智力和身体状况都是一生中最好的,这也是一个人一生中最好的时期.在这个处处都不停地转变,飞快地发展的世界里,年轻使人相对地用更少的时间去学习和领悟新知.在这时,很少人会困在从事业上来的压力下,家庭和健康问题也比较小(就是说不是没有--译者).所以,一个清醒的脑袋加上巨大的能量就会成就人生中不同方面的成功.当然,我们都知道:没有挫折就没有获得.如果我们没有好好努力去利用年轻带给我们的优胜之处,那就没有可能获得任何的成功.作为中学生,我们应该做到最好去学好每一个科目,这样的话,我们就可以为将来即将面对的挑战做好准备.。

It is truly an honor to speak at this prestigious TED event. Tonight, I would like to discuss the importance of embracing change in a rapidly evolving world.女士们先生们,晚上好。
感谢今天能够在这里发言。
我非常荣幸能够在这个著名的TED活动上演讲。
今晚,我想讨论在一个快速变化的世界中拥抱变革的重要性。
Change is inevitable. Throughout history, we have witnessed countless advancements and breakthroughs that have reshaped our societies and transformed our lives. From the invention of the wheel to the advent of the internet, change has always been a driving force behind progress.变革是无法避免的。
历史上,我们目睹了无数次革新和突破,重塑了我们的社会,改变了我们的生活。
从轮子的发明到互联网的出现,变革一直是推动进步的力量。
However, it is human nature to resist change. We often find ourselves comfortable in our routines and hesitant to embrace the unknown. But by doing so, we limit our potential and hinder ourgrowth both individually and as a society.然而,抵制变革是人类的本性。

And why do some leave the world without anything valuable to his generation and the people? Every one of us will hope to have a significant and valuable life. But what kind of life is both significant and valuable? Answers to the questions ar e …… "If you cherish your value of your own life, you will create something valuable for the world." Johann Goth said. "The life value should be judged from his contribution rather than his profession." Einstein said. Lei Feng, a communist soldier, said, "one lives to make others a more beautiful life."As we all know, Marx is an outstanding and great man. He founded his brilliant and scientific theory of communism. The theory guides the ways for the human being's liberation. Marx said, "If we can elect one suitable profession, we won't be demoralized with its pressure, because we make sacrifice for human beings. Only by this way will we not be addicted to the joy of narrow-minded and individualism. Our happiness belongs to thousands upon thousands of people. I see, although it may be unknown, our cause will never be forgot forever. Even when we depart to God, the kind people will tear down upon our ashes." When he said these words, he was only 17 years old. He meant his word with his deeds in his late lifetime period. After his death, on his 100-birthday anniversary, the proletarian and the revolutionary people of the whole world still cherish the memoryof Marx and mourn him respectively.It is his distinguishingable contribution to the mankind that his life is that significant. It is his great devotion to the human being that his life value is beyond measure. We also know that Lu Xun is a man of great. Without his nobility "Fierce-browed, I wooly defy a thousand point fingers, head bowed like a willing ox I serve the children", and without his spirit of his loyalty and devotion to the last for the bright future of the Chinese people, his life would not have been so significant and so great. Actually, didn't those regarded as essence of human who live forever in the hearts of people make great contributions to the cause of the people? Wouldn't the people remember those whose great achievements for human are recorded in history? We know for certain that not every of us will be a second Marx or Lu Xun. However, a person of noble aspirations will do solid work. Strugglecontinuously and effortless. He will try to make his greatest contribution in his shortest time. He will try what he can to bring benefit to the people in his lifetime. We'd say it is impossible for one to live alone if he isolates society and people. If he hopes to make a benefit life, he will bring benefit and make contribution to people. As a socialist youth, he will devote his life to the cause of communism in order to make a benefit life. Moreover, we say that a value of life will be only in direct proportion to achievement and contribution he makes to our society. In our real life, we can see many revolutionary martyrs die young for the people. Don't you think they cherish the life? Yes. They do. They are sentimentally attached to life; they are full of hope and desire. But they confront the death bravely and resolutely in order to make many more people live. Their brilliant status will be livingin the hearts of people. They die glorious and great.The life of those who die busy about his lifetime without any achievements can not be compared with their life. In our real life, we have many cases like those. Life is endless and tackling key problems will be continuous. Let's take these as examples. Mr. Jing Zhuying worked for the Chinese science causes to the last of his life. Mr. Zhang Hua sacrificed his own young life for the sake of others, which set a good example of the communist. Mr. An Ke died for fulfillment for the duty as a citizen. Ms Zhang Haiti, compared to be Paul of our time, worked very hard and faced frustrations of her life, though she was disabled. She still continues to live on bravely.All these are the strong of their life. Their value of life is precious. My fellow students, don't you say what a beautiful life they have? Beethoven once said; "I must learn to control my life which will never make me give myself up. Oh, If only I can live more than thousands times!" Paul Cocking also had a golden saying, "Life is but one." I think every youth of us keep this in our minds. let's turn it into reality with our deeds.Let's not be a man full of promises but without any deeds, like Lusting, one of the characters by Dougeshefol. My fellow students, let's not wander. Let's not hesitate. Only lament and vexation does not mean consideration and exploration. Only lament and vexation does not mean advancing and does not mean mature at all. Let's not kill our lifetime by playing cards. Let's not waste our youth by drinking. Let's not destroy our will without any achievements. Let's make great contribution to human. And only by these can we create benefit life. Every one will have to die and every body will be rotten. But every one may make achievements and contributions. We hate being rotten.Let's brighten up! Up! And up!第四篇:青春励志英语演讲稿带中文翻译We Are The World ,We Are The FutureSomeone said "we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite". I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.We are young. "How to spend the youth?" It is a meaningful question. T o answer it, first I have to ask "what do you understand by the word youth?" Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.A poet said "To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d l ike to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’s make a fist. W here is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happe ned. From the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’tmean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure d oesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.As what I said at the beginning, "we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite". The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out "We are the world, we are the future."世界是我们的,未来是我们的一些人说"我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。

ted演讲稿中英文3分钟TED Talk Speech (700 words, 3 mins)Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Ted, and today I want to talk to you about a topic that is close to my heart - the power of dreams, and how they can shape our lives.Dreams are something we all have, but not all of us pursue them. We often let fear, doubt, and society's expectations hold us back from realizing our full potential. But what if I told you that your dreams have the power to change the world? What if I told you that by following your passions and pursuing your dreams, you can make a difference in the lives of others?Let me share with you my personal story. When I was young, I had a dream of becoming an entrepreneur. I wanted to start my own business and create something meaningful. But as I grew older, I started to listen to the voices of doubt and fear. I started to believe that my dream was too big, too impossible to achieve. I settled for a safe and secure job, but deep down, I knew I was not living my true purpose.One day, something inside me snapped. I realized that life is too short to play it safe. I dusted off my dreams and took the leap into entrepreneurship. It wasn't easy, and I faced numerous challenges along the way. But I realized that when you pursue your dreams with passion and determination, you can overcome any obstacle that comes your way.And that's when I realized the true power of dreams. They canpush us beyond our limits, they can motivate us to keep going even when everything seems impossible. Dreams are not just a figment of our imagination, they are the sparks that ignite our potential and drive change in the world.Imagine a world where every person dared to dream and pursued their passions. Imagine the innovations, the breakthroughs, the solutions to global problems that would emerge. We are all born with unique talents and gifts, and it is our responsibility to not let them go to waste.But dreams alone are not enough. We need action. We need to take the first step towards our dreams, no matter how small it may be. Think about what you are passionate about, what makes you come alive, and start working towards it. Take that class, reach out to that mentor, or start a side project. Don't wait for the perfect moment, because it may never come. The time is now.I know that pursuing your dreams can be scary. It requires stepping out of your comfort zone, facing rejection, and embracing failure. But in the end, it is all worth it. It is better to try and fail than to never try at all. Because when you pursue your dreams, you are not only living a life true to yourself, but you are also inspiring others to do the same.So I encourage you, don't let your dreams remain as dreams. Take that leap of faith, believe in yourself, and make your dreams a reality. Remember, you have the power to change the world. Dream big, act boldly, and never give up. Thank you.。

我相信每个人都有改变世界的力量,这是我今天想和大家探讨的话题。
When I was a child, I was inspired by the stories my parents told me about people who had made a difference in the world. They told me about Martin Luther King Jr., who fought for equality and justicefor all people. They told me about Mother Teresa, who dedicated her life to helping the poorest of the poor. They told me about Nelson Mandela, who fought for freedom and equality in South Africa.小时候,我被父母讲述的那些有关改变世界的人的故事所触动。
他们给我讲到马丁·路德·金,他为平等与正义而战;他们向我误述了特雷莎修女,她奉献自己的生命去帮助最贫穷的人;他们告诉我尼尔森·曼德拉,他为南非的自由与平等而奋斗。

女士们,先生们,今天我很荣幸站在这里,与大家分享一些我对“积极思考的力量”这个话题的看法。
Positive thinking is a powerful tool that can help us overcome challenges, achieveour goals, and lead a happier and more fulfilling life. It is the mindset of looking at the bright side of things, focusing on solutions rather than problems, and believing in the potential for growth and success.积极思考是一种强大的工具,可以帮助我们克服挑战,实现我们的目标,并过上更快乐、更充实的生活。
这是一种看待事物光明面的心态,专注于解决问题而不是问题本身,并相信自己的成长和成功潜力。
In today's fast-paced and often stressful world, it is easy to get caught up in negative thinking and self-doubt. We are bombarded with messages of fear, doubt, and limitation from the media, society, and even our own minds. However, by consciously choosing to adopt a positive mindset, we can reframe our experiences, change our perspective, and ultimately change our reality.在当今快节奏、常常充满压力的世界里,很容易陷入消极思维和自我怀疑之中。

ted演讲中文稿ted演讲中文稿ted演讲中文稿篇一《李世默TED演讲稿And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she as singing in the stadium as green onion for free. So Susan Boyle as saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That as hilarious. So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They ere the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a sho 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 vie. You may have the chance to make a difference. My generation has been very fortunate to itness 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,hen I as graduating from college, I as 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 kno, hat actually do you sell? I didn t have a clue hat a sales department as about in a five-star hotel. That as the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel. Around the same time, I as going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- ith another thousand college girls. The producer told us they ere lookingfor some seet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So hen it as my turn, I stood up and said, Why omen s personalities on television alays have to be beautiful, seet, innocent and, you kno, supportive? Why can t they have their on ideas and their on voice? I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they ere impressed by my ords. And so I as in the second round of petition, and then the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of petition, I as the last one to survive it. So I as on a national television prime-time sho. And believe it or not, that as the first sho on Chinese television that alloed its hosts to speak out of their on minds ithout reading an approved script. And my eekly audience at that time as beteen 200 to 300 million people. Well after a fe years, I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my on media pany, hich as unthought of during the years that I started my career. So e do a lot of things. I ve intervieed 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 e are also so fortunate to itness the transformation of the hole country. I as in Beijing s bidding for the Olympic Games. I as representing the Shanghai Expo. I sa China embracing the orld and vice versa. But then sometimes I m thinking, hat are today s young generation up to? Ho are they different, and hat are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the orld? So today I ant to talk about young people through the platform of social media. First of all, ho are they? do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful. She shoed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, hich is the Chinese version of Titter. And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at theChamber 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 as 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, e kno that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be associated ith charity. All those expensive items ere given to her as gifts by her boyfriend,ho used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce. It s very plicated to explain. But anyay, the public still doesn t buy it. It is still boiling. It shos us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, hich lacked transparency in the past. And also it shoed us the poer and the impact of social media as microblog. Microblog boomed in the year of 2016, ith visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. Sina., a major nes 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 folloers, or fans. About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. And because, as you kno, 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, e are able to understand Chinese youth even better. So ho are they different? First of all, most of them ere bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. And because of selected abortion by families ho favored boys to girls, no e have ended up ith 30 million more young men than omen. That could pose a potential danger to the society, butho knos; e re in a globalized orld, 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 ith a population above 65 years old ing up ith seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030. And you kno e have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them hen they re sick. So it means young couplesill have to support four parents ho 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, hile the average rent is above $500. So hat 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 ho are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to ork for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. That ratio in Americaould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it s 30 to 40 years ith the skyrocketing real estate price. Among the 200 million migrant orkers, 60 percent of them are young people. They find themselves sort of sandiched beteen the urban areas and the rural areas. Most of them don t ant to go back to the countryside, but they don t have the sense of belonging. They ork for longer hours ith less ine, less social elfare. 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 orkersin 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 hole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant orkers. For those ho do return back to the countryside,they find themselves very ele locally,because ith the knoledge, skills and netorksthey have learned in the cities, ith the assistance of the Internet, they re able to create more jobs,upgrade local agriculture and create ne businessin the less developed market. So for the past fe years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor. These diagrams sho a more general social background. The first one is the Engels coefficient,hich 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 to 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. No it s 0.5 -- even orse than that in America -- shoing us the ine inequality. And so you see this hole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility. And also, the bitterness and even resentment toards the rich and the poerful is quite idespread. So any accusations of corruptionor backdoor dealings beteen authorities or business ould arouse a social outcry or even unrest. So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, e can see hat young people care most about. Social justice and government accountability runs the first in hat they demand.For the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us itness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation. Sometimes people getkilled, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest. So hen 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 nes is that earlier this year, the state council passed a ne 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 ater, poisoned food. And guess hat, e 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 cooking oil from restaurant slop. So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet. And fortunately, e 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 hat they ant 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 elsehere. But you kno hat, half of those consumers are earning a salary belo 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 sho that she ould rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, e do have young people ho ould still prefer to smile, hether in a BMW or a bicycle. So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called naked edding, or naked marriage. It does not mean they ill ear nothing in the edding, but it shosthat these young couples are ready to get married ithout a house, ithout a car, ithout a diamond ring and ithout a edding banquet, to sho their mitment to true love. And also, people are doing good through social media. And the first picture shoed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogsfor food processing as spotted and stopped on the highay ith the hole country atchingthrough microblogging. People ere donating money, dog food and offering volunteer ork to stop that truck. And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs ere rescued. And here also people are helping to find missing children. A father posted his son s picture onto the Internet. After thousands of , the child as found, and e itnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging. So happiness is the most popular ord e have heard through the past to years. Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it s about the environment. People are thinking about the folloing questions: Are e going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? Ho are e going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace ith economic groth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, ho capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?I guess these are the questions people are going to anser. And our younger generation are going to transform this country hile at the same time being transformed themselves. Thank you very much. 杨澜TED演讲:重塑中国的一代中文演讲稿在来爱尔兰的前一晚,我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。
(完整版)TED《出人意料的工作动机》中英文对照演讲稿)
I need to make a confession at the outset here. 开始前我必须先向你们告解A little over 20 years ago I did something that I regret, something that I'm not particularly proud of, something that, in many ways, I wish no one would ever know, but here I feel kind of obliged to reveal. 二十多年前我做了一件让我后悔莫及的事一件我丝毫不感到骄傲的事一件我希望没有任何人会知道的事但今日我认为我有必要揭发我自己In the late 1980s, in a moment of youthful indiscretion, I went to law school. 80年代晚期因为年少轻狂我进入法律学院就读Now, in America law is a professional degree: you get your university degree, then you go on to law school. 在美国法律学位是个专业学位你得先拿到学士才能进入法律学院And when I got to law school, I didn't do very well. 当我进入法律学院时我的成绩不怎么好To put it mildly, I didn't do very well. 客气地说我的成绩不怎么好I, in fact, graduated in the part of my law school class that made the top 90 percent possible. 我的毕业成绩成就了在我之上那其他九成的同学Thank you. 谢谢你们I never practiced law a day in my life; 我这辈子从来没做过律师I pretty much wasn't allowed to. 基本上那样做可能还会犯法But today, against my better judgment, against the advice of my own wife, I want to try dust off some of those legal skills -- what's left of those legal skills. 但今日我违背我的理性违背我太太的忠告我想重拾那些过去所学的诉讼技巧,所剩无几的诉讼技巧I don't want to tell you a story. 我不想向你们说故事I want to make a case. 而是提出一个陈述I want to make a hard-headed, evidence-based, dare I say lawyerly case, for rethinking how we run our businesses. 提出一个有根据货真价实的法庭陈述来重新思考我们的管理方法So, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, take a lookat this.陪审团的女士先生们请看看这个This is called the candle problem. 这便是有名的蜡烛问题Some of you might have seen this before. 你们之中有些人可能已经看过了It's created in 1945 by a psychologist named Karl Duncker. 它是在1945年由心理学家Karl Duncker所创造的Karl Dunker created this experiment that is used in a whole variety of experiments in behavioral science. Karl Duncker创造了这个实验在行为科学中被广泛运用And here's how it works.Suppose I'm theexperimenter.情况是假设我是实验者I bring you into a room. I give you a candle, Some thumbtacks and some matches. 我带你进入一个房间给你一根蜡烛一些图钉和火柴And I say to you, “your job is to attach the candle to the wall so the wax doesn't drip onto the table.”Now what would you do? 告诉你说现在尝试把蜡烛固定在墙上让烛泪不要滴到桌上你会怎么做Now many people begin trying to thumbtack the candleto the wall.许多人尝试用图钉把蜡烛钉在墙上Doesn't work. 行不通Somebody, some people -- and I saw somebody kind of make the motion over here -- some people have a great idea where they light the match, melt the side of the candle, try to adhere it to the wall. 有些人台下也有些人做出这样的动作有些人想到他们可以点燃火柴溶化蜡烛的底部尝试把它黏在墙上It's an awesome idea. Doesn't work. 好主意但行不通And eventually, after five or 10 minutes,most people figure out the solution, which you can see here. 差不多过了五到十分钟大部分的人便会想出解决办法就像图片上那样The key is to overcome what's called functionalfixedness.重点是克服功能固着You look at that box and you see it only as a receptacle for the tacks. 当你看到盒子你不过把它当成装大头针的容器But it can also have this other function, as a platform for the candle. The candle problem. 但它还有其它功能那就是作为蜡烛的平台Now I want to tell you about an experiment using the candle problem, done by a scientist named Sam Glucksberg, who is now at Princeton University in the U.S. 现在我想告诉你另一个实验利用蜡烛问题由一个现在在普林斯顿大学叫做Sam Glucksberg 的科学家所做的实验This shows the power of incentives. 这实验让我们看见动机的力量Here's what he did. He gathered his participants. 他是这么做的他将参与者聚集在一个房间里And he said,“I'm going to time you. How quickly you can solve this problem ?”告诉他们我要开始计时看看你们能多快解决这个问题To one group he said, “I'm going to time you to establish norms, averages for how long it typically takes someone to solve this sort of problem.”他对其中一群人说我只是想取个平均值看一般人需要花多久的时间才能解决这样的问题To the second group he offered rewards. 他提供奖励给另一群人He said,“If you're in the top 25 percent of the fastest times, you get five dollars. If you're the fastest of everyone we're testing here today, you get 20 dollars.”他说如果你是前25%最快解决问题的人就能拿到五块钱如果你是今日所有人里解答最快的你就有20块钱Now this is several years ago. Adjusted for inflation, it's a decent sum of money for a few minutes of work. It's a nice motivator. 这个实验是几年前的事了按照通货膨胀几分钟就能拿到20块是很不错的是个不错的诱因Question: How much faster did this group solve the problem? 问题是这群人比另一群人的解题速度快了多少呢?Answer: It took them, on average, three and a half minutes longer. 答案是平均来说他们比另一组人多花了三分半钟Three and a half minutes longer. Now this makes nosense right?整整三分半钟这不合理不是吗I mean, I'm an American. I believe in free markets. 我是个美国人我相信自由市场That's not how it's supposed to work. Right? 这个实验不太对劲吧对吗If you want people to perform better, you reward them. Right? 如果你想要人们做得更好你便给他们奖赏对吗Bonuses, commissions, their own reality show. 红利佣金他们自己的真人秀Incentivize them. That's how business works. 赋予他们动机这就是商业法则But that's not happening here. 但实验里却不是这样You've got an incentive designed to sharpen thinking and accelerate creativity, and it does just the opposite. 奖励是为了增强思考能力及创意但事实却是相反It dulls thinking and blocks creativity. 它阻断了思考和创意能力And what's interesting about this experiment is thatit's not an aberration.有趣的事情是这个实验不是误差This has been replicated over and over and overagain, for nearly 40 years.它被一再重复在过去的四十年间These contingent motivators -- if you do this, then you get that -- work in some circumstances. 这些不同的诱因如果你这样做你就得到那个在某些情况里是可行的But for a lot of tasks, they actually either don't work or, often, they do harm. 但在许多任务中他们不是没有作用更有可能产生反效果This is one of the most robust findings in social science, and also one of the most ignored. 这是在社会科学中一项最有力的发现同时也是最为人忽略的I spent the last couple of years looking at thescience of human motivation, particularly the dynamics of extrinsic motivators and intrinsic motivators. 过去两年我研究人类的动机尤其是那些外部的激励因素和内在的激励因素And I'm telling you, it's not even close. 我可以告诉你两者相差悬殊If you look at the science, there is a mismatch between what science knows and what business does. 如果你使用科学方法查证你会发现科学知识和商业行为之间有条鸿沟And what's alarming here is that our business 我们必须注意的是我们的商业机制想operating system -- think of the set of assumptions and protocols beneath our businesses, how we motivate people, how we apply our human resources -- it's built entirely around these extrinsic motivators, around carrots and sticks. 想这些商业的协议和假设我们如何激励人心如何运用人资全是以这些外部激励因素作为基础打手心给块糖That's actually fine for many kinds of 20th centurytasks.对许多20世纪的工作来说是可行的But for 21st century tasks, that mechanistic, reward-and-punishment approach doesn't work, often doesn't work, and often does harm. 但面对21世纪的工作这些机械化的奖惩分明的作法已经不管用了有时更招致反效果Let me show you what I mean. 让我呈现我想表达的So Glucksberg did another experiment similar to this where he presented the problem in a slightly different way, like this up here. Okey? Glucksberg做了一个类似的实验这次他给了他们一个比较不同的问题像这个图里面的Attach the candle to the wall so the wax doesn't drip onto the table. 实验对象必须要找出一个让蜡烛黏在墙上又不会流下烛泪的方法Same deal.You: we're timing for norms. 相同地这边:我们要的是平均时间You: we're incentivizing. 这边:一样的给他们不同的诱因What happened this time? 结果呢This time, the incentivized group kicked the other group's butt. 这次有诱因的那组人远远地胜过了另一组人Why? Because when the tacks are out of the box, it's pretty easy isn't it? 为什么一旦我们把图钉从盒子里拿出来问题就变得相当简单不是吗If-then rewards work really well for those sorts of tasks, where there is a simple set of rules and a clear destination to go to. 假设在这个情况下奖励就变得非常有郊在规则简单目标明显的情况下Rewards, by their very nature, narrow our focus, concentrate the mind; that's why they work in so many cases. 奖励产生了作用让我们集中精神变得专注这便是为何奖励在许多情况下有效的缘故And so, for tasks like this, a narrow focus, where you just see the goal right there, zoom straight ahead to it, they work really well. 当我们面对的工作是范围狭窄你能清楚见到目标向前直冲时奖励便非常有效But for the real candle problem, you don't want to be looking like this. 但在真正的蜡烛问题中你不能只是这样看The solution is not over here. The solution is onthe periphery.解答不在那里解答是在周围You want to be looking around. 你需要四处找寻That reward actually narrows our focus and restricts 奖励却令我们眼光狭隘限制了我们的our possibility. 想像力Let me tell you why this is so important. 让我告诉你这个问题的重要性In western Europe, in many parts of Asia, in North America, in Australia, white-collar workers are doing less of this kind of work, and more of this kind of work. 在西欧亚洲的许多地方北美洲澳洲白领工作者比较少处理这种问题更多的是这种问题(指钉放在盒中的)That routine, rule-based, left-brain work--certainkinds of accounting, certain kinds of financial analysis, certain kinds of computerprogramming--has become fairly easy to outsource, fairly easy to automate. 那些例行的常规性的左脑式的工作一些会计一些财务分析一些电脑编程变得极为容易外包变得自动化Software can do it faster. 软件能处理的更快Low-cost providers around the world can do it cheaper. 世界其他地方的低价供应商能以更便宜的成本来完成So what really matters are the more right-brained creative, conceptual kinds of abilities. 所以更重要的是右脑的创意概念式的能力Think about your own work. 想想你的工作Think about your own work. 想想你自己的工作Are the problems that you face, or even the problems we've been talking about here, are those kinds of problems--do they have a clear set of rules, and a single solution? No. 你所面对的问题甚至是我们今天所谈论到的问题这些问题它们有清楚的规则和一个简单的解答吗没有The rules are mystifying. 它们的规则模糊The solution, if it exists at all, is surprising and not obvious. 解答如果有解答的话通常是令人意外而不明显的Everybody in this room is dealing with their own version of the candle problem. 在这里的每个人都在尝试解决他自己的蜡烛问题And for candle problems of any kind, in any field, those if-then rewards, the things around which built so many of our businesses, don't work. 对所有形式的蜡烛问题在所有领域这些如果-那就的奖励这些在商业世界里无处不在的奖惩系统其实没用Now, I mean it makes me crazy. 这简直让我发狂And this is not--here's the thing. 这不是重点是This is not a feeling. 这不是一种感觉Okey? I'm a lawyer; I don't believe in feelings. 我是个律师我才不信什么感觉This is not a philosophy. 这也不是哲学I'm an American; I don't believe in philosophy. 我是个美国人我才不信什么哲学This is a fact--or, as we say in my hometown of Washington, D.C., a true fact. 这是真相或是我们在华盛顿特区的政治圈常说的一个事实真相Let me give you an example of what I mean. 让我给你一个例子Let me marshal the evidence here, because I'm not telling you a story, I'm making a case. 让我收集这些证据因为我不是在告诉你一个故事而是陈述一个案子Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, some evidence: 陪审团的女士们先生们证据在此Dan Ariely, one of the great economists of our time, he and three colleagues, did a study of some MIT students. Dan Ariely 一位当代伟大的经济学家他和三位同仁对麻省理工学院的学生做了一些研究They gave these MIT students a bunch of games, games that involved creativity, and motor skills, and concentration. 他给这些学生一些游戏一些需要创造力的游戏需要动力和专注And the offered them, for performance, three levels of rewards: small reward, medium reward, large reward. 依照他们的表现给他们三种不同程序的奖励小奖励中奖励大奖励Okey? If you do really well you get the large reward, on down. 如果你做得好你就得到大奖励依此类推What happened? As long as the task involved onlymechanical skill bonuses worked as they would be expected: the higher the pay, the better the performance. 结果呢只要是机械形态的工作红利就像我们所认知的奖励越高表现越好Okey? But one the task called for even rudimentary cognitive skill, a larger reward led to poorer performance. 是的但如果这个工作需要任何基本的认知能力越大的奖励却带来越差的表现Then they said:“Okey let's see if there's any cultural bias here. Lets go to Madurai, India and test this.”于是他们说让我们试试是否有什么文化差距让我们去印度的马杜赖试试Standard of living is lower. 生活水平较低In Madurai, a reward that is modest in North American standards, is more meaningful there. 在马杜赖北美标准的中等奖励在这里有意义多了Same deal. A bunch of games, three levels of rewards. 一样地一些不同游戏三种奖励What happens? 结果呢People offered the medium level of rewards did no better than people offered the small rewards. 中等奖励的人做的不比那些小奖励的人好But this time, people offered the highest rewards, they did the worst of all. 但这次那些能够得到大奖励的人表现最差In eight of the nine tasks we examined across three experiments, higher incentives led to worse performance. 三种实验中在我们提供的九个游戏中有八个奖励越高的表现越差Is this some kind of touchy-feely socialist 难道这是一种感情用事的社会主义的阴conspiracy going on here? 谋诡计吗No. These are economists from MIT, from Carnegie Mellon, from the University of Chicago. 不这些经济学家来自麻省理工卡内基梅隆和芝加哥大学And do you know who sponsored this research? 你知道赞助这实验的是谁吗The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. 是美国联邦储备银行That's the American experience. 完全的美国经验Let's go across the pond to the London School of Economics--LSE, London School of Economics, alma mater of 11 Nobel Laureates in economics. 让我们跨海到伦敦政经学院看看LSE 伦敦经济学院十一位诺贝尔经济奖得主的母校Training ground for great economic thinkers like George Soros, and Friedrich Hayek, and Mick Jagger. 训练伟大经济学家的地方有乔治索罗斯弗里德里希·哈耶克和滚石乐团的米克·贾格尔Last month, just last month, economists at LSE looked at 51 studies of pay-for-performance plans, inside of companies. 上个月才刚过去的那个月政经学院的经济学家汇整了51个关于企业内部绩效薪酬的研究Here's what the economists there said:“ We find that financial incentives can result a negative impact on overall performance.”这些经济学家说我们发现金钱的诱因能对整体绩效带来负面效果There is a mismatch between what science knows andwhat business does.科学知识和商业行为之间有条鸿沟And what worries me, as we stand here in the rubble of the economic collapse, is that too many organizations are making their decisions, their policies about talent and people, based on assumptions that are outdated, unexamined, and rooted more in folklore than in science. 我所忧心的是在我们站在金融风暴废墟之间的此刻仍然有太多团体仍然以一些过时的未经验证的非科学的几乎是来自天方夜谭的假设来制定规则和管理人事And if we really want to get out of this economic mess, and if we really want high performance on those definitional tasks of the 21st century, the solution is not to do more of the wrong things, to entice people with a sweeter carrot, or threaten them with a sharper stick. 如果我们真的想要摆脱这个经济危机如果我们真的想要在这些属于21世纪的核心工作中获取绩效的话这解答无异是错上加错用胡萝卜来吸引人或是用棍子来威胁人We need a whole new approach. 我们需要一种新做法And the good news about all of this is that the scientists who've been studying motivation have given us this new approach. 好消息是这些研究人类动机的科学家已经给了我们一个新方向It's an approach built much more around intrinsicmotivation.这个新方向讲求内在的诱因Around the desire to do things because they matter,because we like it, because they're interesting, because they are part of something important. 我们想做的是因为它能改变世界因为我们喜欢因为它很有趣因为它能影响的范围很广And to my mind, that new operating system for our businesses revolves around three elements: autonomy, mastery and purpose. 在我心里这种新的商业机制围绕在三个基础上自主性掌握力和使命感Autonomy: the urge to direct our own lives. 自主性想要主掌自己人生的需求Mastery: the desire to get better and better at something that matters. 掌握力想要在举足轻重的事情上做得更好的欲望Purpose: the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves. 使命感希望我们所做的事情是为了更高远的理想的渴望These are the building blocks of an entirely newoperating system for our businesses.这些便是建立新商业机制的基石I want to talk today only about autonomy. 今天我只想提到自主性In the 20th century, we came up with this idea ofmanagement.20世纪产生了管理学的想法Management did not emanate from nature. 管理学不是自然发生的Management is like -- it's not a tree, it's a television set. 管理学像是它不是一棵树而是个电视机Okey? Somebody invented it. 对吗有人发明它And it doesn't mean it's going to work forever. 不代表它永远都好用Management is great. 管理学很好Trditional notions of management are great if you want compliance. 传统的管理学的概念是好的如果你需要的是服从But if you want engagement, self-direction works better. 但如果你想要员工全心投入自动自发更好Let me give you some examples of some kind if radical notions of self-direction. 有关自动自发让我给你一些革命性的例子What this means -- you don't see a lot of it, but you see the first stirrings of something really interesting going on, because what it means is paying people adequately and firly, absolutely -- getting the issue of money off the table, and then giving people lots of autonomy. 代表着这样的例子不多但是你可以发现一些有趣的事情正开始发生因为他代表着付给人们合理与足够的工资让钱不再是问题然后给人们很大的自主权Let me give you some examples. 让我举一些例子How many of you have heard of the company Atlassian? 在座谁听过一家叫Atlassian的公司It looks like less than half. 看起来一半都不到Atlassian is an Australian software company. Atlassian是一个澳大利亚的软件公司And they do something incredibly cool. 他们做了一件很酷的事A few times a year they tell their engineers, “Go for the next 24 hours and work on anything you want, as long as it's not part of your regular job. 一年有几次他们跟公司里的软件工程师说接下来的24个小时去做你自己想做的事只要它和你每天的工作无关Work on anything you want.”随便你要做什么都行So that engineers use this time to come up with a cool patch for code, come up with an elegant hack. 这些工程师便利用这些时间写出一套有趣的编程优雅地包装这些想法Then they present all of the stuff that they've developed to their teammates, to the rest of the company, in this wild and wooly all-hands meeting at the end of the day. 在那天的最后在这个全员到齐万众一心的会议中对他们的组员和整个公司介绍他的发明And then, being Australians, everybody has a beer. 当然身为澳大利亚人大家都得来罐啤酒They call them FedEx Days. 他们叫这是FedEx联邦快递日Why? Because you have to deliver somethingovernight.国为你必须在隔夜交出你的作品It's pretty. It's not bad. It's a huge trademark violation, but it's pretty clever. 很不赖的想法虽然违反商标法但这个想法很聪明That one day of intense autonomy has produced a whole array of software fixes that might never have existed. 在高度自主的一日中他们做出了许多软件编程的革新之前根本没人想到的And it's worked so well that Atlassian has taken it to the next level with 20 Percent Time -- done, famously, at Google -- where engineers can work, spend 20 percent of their time working on anything they want. 这个计划的成功让Altlassian更进一步的发明了五分之一时间谷歌把这个想法发扬光大工程师可以用五分之一的时间做所有他们想做的事情They have autonomy over their time, their task, their team, their technique. 他们可以自由的分配他们的时间工作组员和作法Okey? Radical amounts of autonomy. 就是这样完全的自主权And at Google, as most as many of you know, about half of the new products in a typical year are birthed during that 20 Percent Time: things like Gmail, Orkut, Google News. 诚如大家说所在谷歌一年中有一半的新商品都来自这五分之一时间像谷歌信箱 Qrkut 谷歌新闻Let me give you an even more radical example of it: something called the Results Only Work Environment, the ROWE, created by two American consultants, in place at about a dozen companies around North America. 让我给你一个更具革命性的例子一个叫做只论结果的工作环境简写是ROWE 由两个美国分析师所创造用在十多家北美公司上In a ROWE people don't have schedules. 在ROWE之中人们没有日程表They show up when they want. 他们想来就来They don't have to be in the office at a certain time, or any time. 他们不需要在特定时间到公司任何时间They just have to get their work done. 他们只需要把工作完成How they do it, when they do it, where they do it, is totally up to them. 怎么做何时做在哪里做都取决于他们自己Meetings in these kinds of environments areoptional.甚至连开会都是选择性的What happens? 结果呢Almost across the board, productivity goes up, worker engagement goes up, worker satisfaction goes up, turnover goes down. 几乎所有公司的生产力都提升了工作投入度提升工作满意度提升人才流失降低Autonomy, mastery and purpose, these are the buiding blocks of a new way of dong things. 自主性掌握力和使命感这便是新工作方式的新基础Now some of you might look at this and say,“hmm,that sounds nice, but it's utopian.”在座的某些人可能会看着然后说嗯听起来不错就是太理想化了And I say,“Nope. I have proof.”我说错了我有证据The mid-1990s, Microsoft started an encyclopedia called Encarta. 在90年代中微软开始了一个叫做Encarta的百科全书计划They had deployed all the right incentives, all the right incentives. They paid professionals to write and edit thousands of articles. 他们使用了所有正确的诱因所有的诱因他们付钱给专业人士让他们写和编辑这些文章Well-compensated managers oversaw the whole thing to make sure it came in on budget and on time. 收入颇丰的主管们监督着整个计划确定它不会超过预算和时间A few years later another encyclopedia got started. 几年后另一个百科全书计划开始了Different model, right? 完全不同的模式Do it for fun. No one gets paid a cent, or a Euro or a Yen. 为了兴趣而作没有人能拿到任何一毛钱Do it because you like to do it. 因为自己喜欢而做Now if you had, just 10 years ago, if you had goneto an economist, anywhere, and said,“Hey, I've got these two different models for creating an encyclopedia. If they went head to head, who would win?”如果你在十年前到一个经济学家那里去对他说我有两种撰写百科全书的模式拿来相比谁会赢10 years ago you could not have found a single sober economist anywhere on planet Earth who would have predicted the Wikipedia model.十年前你绝对不会找到任何一个清醒的经济学家在这个地球的任何角落能够预知维基百科的模式This is the titanic battle between these twoapproaches.这是一个两种模式之间的世纪战役This is the Ali-Frazier of motivation. Right? 动机的阿里与弗雷泽之战This is the Thrilla' in Manila. 就像那场在马尼拉的拳王之战Alright? Intrinsic motivators versus extrinsicmotivators.是吗内在动机和外在动机Autonomy, mastery and purpose, versus carrot and sticks. And who wins? 自主性掌握力和使命感和胡萝卜和棍子谁赢了Intrinsic motivation, autonomy, mastery and purpose, in a knockout. Let me wrap up. 内在动机自主性掌握力和使命感获得压倒性胜利结论是There is a mismatch between what science knows andwhat business does.科学知识和商业行为之间And here is what science knows. 有条鸿沟One: Those 20th century rewards, those motivators we think are a natural part of business, do work, but only in a surprisingly narrow band of circumstances. 一这些20世纪的奖励这些我们当作商业中自然一部分的诱因是有用的但意外地只在一个非常狭窄的情况下Two: Those if-then rewards often destroycreativity.二这些奖励往往会破坏创造力Three: The secret to high performance isn't rewards and punishments, but that unseen intrinsic drive -- the drive to do things for their own sake. 三高绩效的秘密不是奖励和惩罚而是看不见的内在动力让人为了自己而做的动力The drive to do things cause they matter. 让人有使命感的动力And here's the best part. Here's the best part. 最好的是We already know this. The science confirms what we know in our hearts. 我们了然于心科学不过确认了我们心里的声音So, if we repair this mismatch between what science knows and what business does, if we bring our motivation, notions of motivation into the 21st century, if we get past this lazy, dangerous, ideology of carrots and sticks, we can strengthen our business, we can solve a lot of those candle problems, and maybe, maybe, maybe we can change the world. 如果我们改变科学知识和商业行为之间有的那条鸿沟如果我们把我们的动机对诱因的想法带进21世纪如果我们越过懒惰的危险的理想化的胡萝卜和棍子的想法我们可以强化我们的公司解决许多的蜡烛问题那么或许或许或许我们便能改变世界I rest my case. 陈述完毕。

ted演讲稿大全中英简短TED演讲稿大全(中英)-简短1. 演讲题目:激发创造力中文演讲稿:大家好,我今天想谈谈创造力。
创造力是一种非常重要的能力,它可以帮助我们找到新的解决问题的方法,推动社会的发展。
但是,很多人在成长过程中逐渐失去了创造力,因为他们被规则束缚住了思维,只相信已经存在的答案。
我认为,我们应该积极培养和激发创造力。
首先,我们要保持好奇心,不停地提问和探索。
其次,我们要勇于尝试新事物,即使可能会失败也要勇敢地去尝试。
最后,我们要培养自信心,相信自己有能力创造出独特的东西。
希望大家能够意识到创造力的重要性,努力培养自己的创造力,以此推动社会的进步和发展。
英文演讲稿:Hello everyone, today I want to talk about creativity. Creativity isa very important ability that can help us find new ways to solve problems and drive social development. However, many people gradually lose their creativity as they grow up because they are constrained by rules and only believe in existing answers.I believe that we should actively cultivate and inspire creativity. First, we should maintain curiosity and constantly ask questionsand explore. Secondly, we should be brave enough to try new things, even if it may lead to failure. Finally, we should cultivate self-confidence and believe in our ability to create something unique.I hope that everyone can realize the importance of creativity and make efforts to cultivate their own creativity, thus promoting social progress and development.2. 演讲题目:人工智能的影响中文演讲稿:大家好,我今天想谈谈人工智能的影响。

活在世上做好自己足矣"I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone.“我曾经认为生活中最糟糕的事情就是孤独终老。
It's not.并不是。
The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone." --Robin Williams生活中最糟糕的事情就是和让你感到孤独的人在一起。
”——罗宾·威廉姆斯Codependency is a potentially destructive state to be in.相互依赖是一种潜在的破坏性状态。
At its core, it means that you cannot be alone.本质上,这意味着你无法独处。
And the consequence of this is an ongoing clinging to other people; no matter how bad they treat you. 这样做的结果就是你会持续地依附于他人,不管他们对你有多坏。
But it's an illusion to think that we need someone else to make us feel complete.但是认为我们需要别人来让我们感到完整是一种错觉。
We don't.我们不需要。
When we let our contentment depend on external things, we have given our power away.当我们让自己的满足依赖于外在的东⻄时,我们已经失去了自己的力量。
As humans, we aren't islands.作为人类,我们不是岛屿。

ted演讲稿(优秀4篇)ted中文演讲稿篇一(一)三月的洛阳,点乱红山碎杏发,铺平绿水新苹生,十里湖光千世梦,花语雨初嬉笑回。
而那年的三月,白雁翅低仍重飞,黄鹂舌涩未成语,纵使是旷世迁客骚人也难揄扬曾经这如仙境般的美景。
他们的眼中只是,泥上飘零许多愁,落水边花未随流;只是,感时残花溅血泪,恨别憔鸟惊恨心。
那年,国家天下,内外忧患,人心惶惶。
那年,朝廷政权摇摇欲坠,动荡不安,眼看着这曾经盛世民族如今将逢灭顶之灾。
那年,朝中,权臣当道,把持朝政。
新帝幼小,是非不分。
边境,四面临敌,千里报急。
朝廷却迟迟不肯发兵救援。
守边大将叶护一人难敌万众,被困敌军,生死未卜。
权臣说服幼帝让将军之子叶寒下洛阳,寻找传说中的绝世宝剑,传说,“宝剑一出,无与争锋,以一敌万,救民水火。
”那年,叶寒来到洛阳。
阴沉沉的风刮过洛阳边界,天空中有无数只鸟雀盘旋哀鸣,浓烈的悲哀从叶寒狼眼般狭长深邃的眼睛中渐渐渗出。
突逢家变,年少的他,挑起家主的负担。
背负国仇,无援的他,担起救国的重任。
谁来怜惜,这个昔日冷漠倔犟的少年。
多日的跋涉,身心双疲的他,两眼一黑,重重的倒在地上,晕了过去。
不知多久,褥席上,叶寒躺着,嘴角微微上扬,不知他在梦中遇到了谁。
微瞬间,叶寒醒了。
睁开眼,发现自己躺在一张干净的床上,身边是一个清秀的少年。
“我是言幽,是我救了你。
你的身体很弱,需要休息。
”少年对着叶寒说。
“嗯?恩!”话虽短,却是温暖。
叶寒笑了,这种感觉好像父亲。
“来,喝药。
”黑黢黢的药水,泛着波痕。
叶寒斜觑着言幽,那双眼睛似乎与梦中的人影重叠,一样的光彩熠熠,似夜空中的星,折射出柔和的颜色,却带着点点忧愁。
“父亲……”叶寒低头不知在自语什么。
(二)数月过去,天地景物,宛若迷雾。
山涧四季,水面涟漪,草际烟光,月下花容,杲杲云彩,风中飘逸。
那天晚上,赤橙色的星辰点缀着墨蓝色的天空,夜弥漫着温馨的颜色。
那天山上,磷光莹莹,萤火虫闪着模糊地绿光,连缀起一片绿色,好似夜空的倒影,迷茫而又清晰。
ted中文演讲稿 一分钟中文演讲稿
TED中文演讲稿引言大家好,我很荣幸能在这里与大家分享一些我对TED演讲的理解和感悟。
TED作为一个全球知名的演讲平台,旨在传播和分享创新思想和观点,激发人们的思考和灵感。
今天,我想向大家介绍一个关于创新和改变的故事。
故事曾经有一个年轻人,名叫李华,他生活在一个小山村。
这个村子风景优美,但是经济发展缓慢,人们生活在贫困中。
李华从小就立志要改变这个现状,他相信通过创新和努力可以让村子变得更好。
从小创新开始李华从小就对科学和技术非常感兴趣。
他经常在家中的小工具上做一些小创新,比如改进农具的设计,使其更加高效和易于使用。
他的父母对此非常支持,鼓励他继续探索和追寻梦想。
开拓思维边界李华在上大学之后,他开始着手解决一些大问题。
他发现农田灌溉是村里的一大难题,由于水资源有限,农民们不能充分利用水源灌溉农田。
于是,李华开始研究新的灌溉系统,希望能够解决这个问题。
经过大量的研究和实践,李华发明了一种智能灌溉系统,可以根据土壤湿度和植物需水量自动调节灌溉。
这个系统不仅解决了农民们的困扰,还大大提高了农田的产量。
李华的创新受到了村民们的赞赏和支持。
持续改变与进步李华并没有满足于此,他继续研究和改进智能灌溉系统,使其更加智能和高效。
他还研发了一种新型的农业传感器,可以实时监测土壤的营养状况和植物的生长情况。
这些技术的应用,为农业生产带来了革命性的改变。
不仅如此,李华还关注着其他领域的问题。
他利用自己的专业知识和创新思维,开展了一系列的社区教育项目,帮助更多的人了解和掌握科技知识,从而改变他们的生活。
结语通过李华的故事,我们可以看到创新和改变的力量是无穷的。
无论是在科技领域还是在社会上,创新都是推动进步和发展的关键。
我们每个人都可以成为创新者,用自己的力量改变世界,让我们的生活变得更美好、更有意义。

TED中文演讲稿
我知道你们在想什么,你们觉得我迷路了,马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带回我的座位上。
(掌声)。
我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。
“来这里度假的吗,亲爱的?”(笑声)“来探望孩子的吗?这次要待多久呢?恩,事实上,我希望能再待久一点。
我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。
(掌声)这段时间里,我看到了很多变化。
现在这份数据是挺吓人的,而我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。
我想和你们谈谈我的朋友,她在阿布达比教成人英语。
在一个晴朗的日子里,她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。
但最后却变成是她在学习所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。
还有这些植物是如何被用作药材,化妆品,烹饪,香草。
这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢?当然是从他们的祖父母,甚至曾祖父母那里得来的。
不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。
but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate. a language diesevery 14 days. now, at the same time, english is the undisputed global language. couldthere be a connection? well i dont know. but i do know that ive seen a lot of changes.when i first came out to the gulf, i came to kuwait in the days when it was stilla hardship post. actually, not that long ago. that is a little bit too early. but nevertheless, i wasrecruited by the british council along with about 25 other teachers. and we were the first non-muslims to teach in the state schoolsthere in kuwait. we were brought to teach english because the government wanted tomodernize the country and empower the citizens through education. and of course, theu.k. benefited from some of that lovely oil wealth. 但遗憾的是,今天很多语言正在以前所未有的速度消失。

每14天就有一种语言消失,而与此同时,英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。
这其中有关联吗?我不知道。
但我知道的是,我见证过许多改变。
初次来到海湾地区时,我去了科威特。
当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。
其实,没有那么久啦,这有点太久以前了。
总之,我和其他25位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。
我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师,在科威特的国立学校任教。
我们被派到那里教英语,是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。
当然,英国也能得到些好处,产油国可是很有钱的。
okay. now this is the major change that ive seen -- how teaching english hasmorphed from being a mutuallyenglish-speaking nation on earth. and why not? after all, the best education --according to the latest world university rankings -- is to be found in the universitiesof the u.k. and the u.s. so everybody wants to have an english education, naturally.but if youre not a native speaker, you have to pass a test.言归正传,我见过最大的改变,就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。
英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科,也不再只是英国的专利。
英语(教学)已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。
何乐而不为呢?毕竟,最好的教育来自于最好的大学,而根据最新的世界大学排名,那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。
所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育,但如果你不是以英文为母语,你就要通过考试。
now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability well, i dont think so. we english teachers reject them all the time. we put astop sign, and we stop them in their tracks. they cant pursue their dream any longer,till they get english. now let me put it this way, if i met a dutch speaker who had the cure for cancer, would i stop him from entering my britishuniversity? i dont think so. but indeed, that is exactly what we do. we englishteachers are thegatekeepers. and you have to satisfy us first that your english is good enough.now it can be dangerous to give too much power to a narrow segment of society. maybethe barrier would be too universal.但仅凭语言能力就拒绝学生这样对吗?譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学家,但他会需要有和律师一样的语言能力吗?我不这么认为。
但身为英语老师的我们,却总是拒绝他们。
我们处处设限,将学生挡在路上,使他们无法再追求自己的梦想,直到他们通过考试。
现在容我换一个方式说,如果我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人,而这个人能治愈癌症,我会阻止他进入我的英国大学吗?我想不会。
但事实上,我们的确在做这种事。
我们这些英语老师就是把关的。
你必须先让我们满意,使我们认定你的英文够好。
但这可能是危险的。
把太多的权力交由这么小的一群人把持,也许会令这种障碍太过普及。
okay. but, i hear you say, what about the research? its all in english. so thebooks are in english, the journals are done in english, but that is a self-fulfilling .it feeds the english requirement. and so it goes on. i ask you, what happened totranslation? if you think about the islamic golden age, there was lots of translation then. they translated from latin andgreek into arabic, into persian, and then it was translated on into the germaniclanguages of europe and the romance languages. and so light shone upon the dark agesof europe. now dont get me wrong; i am not against teaching english, all you englishteachers out there. i love it that we have a global language. we need one today morethan ever. but i am against using it as a barrier. do we really want to end up with600 languages and the main one being english, or chinese? we need more than that.where do we draw the line? this system equates intelligence with a knowledge of englishwhich is quite .于是,我听到你们问但是研究呢?研究报告都要用英文。
”的确,研究论著和期刊都要用英文发表,但这只是一种理所当然的现象。
有英语要求,自然就有英语供给,然后就这么循环下去。
我倒想问问大家,为什么不用翻译呢?想想伊斯兰的黄金时代,当时翻译盛行,人们把拉丁文和希腊文翻译成阿拉伯文或波斯文,然后再由拉伯文或波斯文翻译为欧洲的日耳曼语言以及罗曼语言。
于是文明照亮了欧洲的黑暗时代。
但不要误会我的意思,我不是反对英语教学或是在座所有的英语老师。
我很高兴我们有一个全球性的语言,这在今日尤为重要。
但我反对用英语设立障碍。
难道我们真希望世界上只剩下600种语言,其中又以英文或中文为主流吗?我们需要的不只如此。
那么我们该如何拿捏呢?这个体制把智能和英语能力画上等号这是相当武断的。
and i want to remind you that the giants upon whose shoulders todays stand did not have to have english, they didnt have to pass an english test. case in point, einstein. he,by the way, was considered remedial at school because he was, in fact, dyslexic. butfortunately for the world, he did not have to pass an english test. because they didntstart until 1964 with toefl, the american test of english. now its exploded. thereare lots and lots of tests of english. and millions and millions of students takethese tests every year. now you might think, you and me, those fees arent bad, theyreokay, but they are prohibitive to so many millions of poor people. so immediately,were rejecting them.我想要提醒你们,扶持当代知识分子的这些“巨人肩膀不必非得具有英文能力,他们不需要通过英语考试。
