杨澜ted英文演讲稿篇一:杨澜TED演讲稿中英文Yang Lan: The generation that's remaking China 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 guestSusan Boyle. And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day." She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese]So it's not like "hello" or "thank you," that ordinary stuff. It means "green onion for free." Why did she say that Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed 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 salesdepartment 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 andColumbia 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 worldSo 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 ofCommerce. 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 XX, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. , a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. On Tencent, 200 most popular blogger -- it's not me -- it's a movie star, and she has more than millionfollowers, or fans. About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government,social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit. But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better. So how are they different First of all, most of them were bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. Most of them have fairly good education. The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent. In cities, 80 percent of kids go to they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, andabout 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 shorturban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 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 pastfew 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 Now it's -- even worse than that in America -- showing us the income inequality. And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility. And also, the bitterness and 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 uest.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 the past decade or so, amassive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation. Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest. So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet,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 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. Andfortunately, 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 as the number one market for luxury brands -- that's not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere. But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 dollars. They're not rich at all. They're taking those bags and clothes as a sense 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 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 adiamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love. And also, people are doing good through social media. And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogsfor food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watchingthrough microblogging. People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck. And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued. And here also people are helping to find missing children. A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet. After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment. People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keepsustainability and stability And also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same timeI guess these are the questions people are going to answer. And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.杨澜TED演讲:重塑中国的一代中文演讲稿在来爱尔兰的前一晚,我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。
杨澜ted演讲稿
杨澜ted演讲稿尊敬的各位!今天,我来到这里和大家一起探讨一个非常有趣的话题——“一切皆可能”。
首先,我想告诉大家一个小故事。
有一个叫杨澜的小孩,他总是坚持不懈地追求自己的梦想,就是成为一个世界级的建筑师。
然而他却在这条漫漫征程中经历了多次挫折,他的家庭经济状况很差,他的学校也只有普通的小学和初中,根本没有提供进入优秀大学的机会。
尽管杨澜的条件受到了限制,他依然坚定地相信“一切皆可能”,他从每天做好功课入手,学会了努力去学习,并且把许多学习进阶的空闲时间用来进行各种额外的培训,比如参加各种绘画、手工和作文班、参加报考技能比赛等,他用努力去减少自己的不足,不但向外界展示了自己的潜力,还积累了很多丰富的实践经验,一步步地得到了所有人的认可,最终他以高分成绩考进了中国科学技术大学,实现了自己的梦想从杨澜的故事可以看出,梦想并非由运气或外部条件决定,而是由自身的坚定信念决定的。
只要我们坚守自己相信的信念,努力加油,一定会实现自己的梦想。
而“一切皆可能”就是一个非常好的例子,表明只要努力,任何事情都可以完成,而一切不到实践就无法判断,所以年轻人们应该主动去尝试,去实践自己的想法,想象力不足则补充实践,拥有了技术积累,才有创新的可能性。
此外,必须要意识到的是,曾经的梦想不只属于自己,而是包括所有生活在自己小小的世界里的人,所以我们应该勇敢去追求自己的梦想,但也不要忘记为了梦想而付出的痛楚,而是要珍惜积累下来的智慧,把智慧转换成梦想的火焰,去点燃周围每一个人的梦想之火,发挥自身的潜力,为社会、为国家、为人类做出自己的贡献。
最后,愿大家都能够真正把“一切皆可能”这句话融入到自身的思维习惯里,说不定明天就会发现一切都可以实现,再次用一句宋词和大家包括:“人有梦想,天地可破”!谢谢大家!谢谢!。

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

杨澜 Ted演讲 中英版
Yang Lan: The generation that's remaking China杨澜:重塑中国的一代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:送你葱] 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.在我去苏格兰的前一晚,中国达人秀邀请我到上海主持总决赛体育馆的现场有八万名观众.知道特别嘉宾是谁吗?苏珊大妈.我告诉她,“我明天要去苏格兰."她不但歌声非常动听,还学会了说几句中文.她说:“送你葱”这句话的意思不是“你好,”“谢谢,”那类的话."送你葱"意思是“免费的大葱.”她为什么要说这句话呢?因为“送你葱”是来自有着"中国苏珊大妈"之称的一位五十多岁在上海卖菜的女摊贩,她非常喜欢西方歌剧,但她不懂歌词的意思也不会说英语,法语,或是意大利语,所以她以独特的方式来记歌词将歌词全部换成蔬菜名.(笑声)意大利歌剧公主彻夜未眠的最后一句她当时就是以"送你葱"来演唱的.当苏珊大妈说了这句话的时候,现场的八万名观众一起跟着唱了起来.当时的场面十分有趣.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference.我想苏珊大妈还有那位上海的卖菜大婶都有她们的独特之处.大家通常会觉得她们无法在娱乐圈这个行业里闯出天下,但是才能和勇气让她们得到了肯定.一场秀和一个平台让她们有了一个可以圆梦的舞台.其实要与众不同不是什么难事.我们都有独特之处从不同的角度来看.但我觉得与众不同其实很好,因为你有不同的想法.你也许可以在某一方面有影响.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it's still there. So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, "So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?" I summoned my courage and poise and said, "Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?" I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.我这个年代的人是幸运的我们目睹并参与了中国历史性的变化.在过去的二,三十年里中国发生了很多变化.我还记得1990年的时候.我刚好读完大学,我当时申请了一个营销的工作地点是北京的一个五星级宾馆,这个宾馆现在还有,叫喜来登长城饭店.在被一位日本经理询问了半小时之后,他在面试要结束时说,"杨小姐,你有问题要问我吗?"我鼓起了勇气,镇定地问,"你能不能告诉我,你们卖什么的?"因为我当时完全不知道一个五星级饭店的销售部要做什么.那是我第一次走进一家五星级饭店.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.与此同时,我参加了由中国国家电台举办的试听会这是第一个向大众开放的试听会现场还有上千名的女大生.制作人告诉我们他们在找甜美,单纯和漂亮的新面孔.当轮到我的时候,我起身问道,"为什么在电视上的女人一定要长得漂亮,甜美,单纯还要配合度高?为什么她们不能有自己的想法说自己的话?"我以为我的话可能有点冒犯了评委.但我的话反而得到了他们的认同.因此我进入了第二回合,然后第三,第四.在第七回合比赛结束后,我战胜了所有的选手.我也因此在加入了黄金档的一个节目.你也许不敢相信,这个节目是中国第一个允许主持人表达他们自己的想法他们不需要念之前写好的稿.(掌声)我当时每周的观众人数达到200-300万.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?几年以后,我决定去美国的哥伦比亚大学读研究,同时也创办了自己的媒体公司,这个想法在我刚刚入行的时候并不存在.公司的项目分很多类.我访问过的人数已经过千.有时候年轻人会对我说,"杨澜姐,你改变了我的人生,"这些话让我感到骄傲.我觉我这代人很幸运因为我们看到了整个国家的兴起.北京竞标奥运的举办权我有在场.我也代表了上海市博会.我看到了中国拥抱全世界也看到了全世界拥抱中国.但我有时会想,现在的年轻人到底要做什么?他们到底有什么不同之处,有什么样的变化会因他们而产生这些变化会怎样改变中国,甚至整个世界?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.所以我今天的话题是关于年轻一代通过社交媒体的平台来认识他们.首先,他们是谁?长得什么样?照片上的女孩叫郭美美20岁,很漂亮.在她的微博上,她炫耀了自己的名牌包,衣服,还有车在她的微博上,微博是中国版的Twitter.她还说自己是商会红十字会在商会的一名经理。

今天我想和大家分享一些关于女性领导力的思考。
在过去的几十年里,我们见证了女性在职场和社会中的崛起。
然而,尽管取得了一些进展,女性在领导层的比例仍然相对较低。
我认为,我们需要探索和推动更多的机会和平等,以便女性能够充分发挥她们的潜力。
女性领导力不仅仅是关于个人的成功,它也对整个社会和组织有着积极的影响。
让我们一起努力,为实现性别平等而奋斗。
英文翻译:Hello everyone, I'm Yang Lan. Today, I would like to share some thoughts on women's leadership. Over the past few decades, we have witnessed the rise of women in the workplace and society. However, despite some progress, the representation of women in leadership positions remainsrelatively low. I believe that we need to explore and promote more opportunities and equality so that women can fully unleash their potential. Women's leadership is not just about personal success; it also has a positive impact on the entire society and organizations. Let's work together to strive for gender equality.。

How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media. First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful. She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter. And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce. She didn't realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross. The controversy was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity. All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend,who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce. It's very complicated to explain. But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it. It is still boiling. It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past. And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. , a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger -- it's not me -- it's a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans. About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government,social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit. But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better. So how are they different? First of all, most of them were bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. Most of them have fairly good education. The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent. In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030. And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick. So it means young coupleswill have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people. College graduates are not in short supply.Inurban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. So what do they do? They have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves "tribe of ants." And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. That ratio in Americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people. They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas. Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging. They work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare. And they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation,tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce. Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease. But they died because of all different personal reasons. But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside,they find themselves very welcome locally,because with the knowledge, skills and networksthey have learned in the cities, with the assistance of the Internet, they're able to create more jobs,upgrade local agriculture and create new businessin the less developed market. So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background. The first one is the Engels coefficient,which explains that the cost of daily necessitieshas dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent. But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost. The Gini coefficient has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4. Now it's 0.5 -- even worse than that in America -- showing us the income inequality. And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility. And also, the bitterness and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread. So any accusations of corruptionor backdoor dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about. Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation. Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest. So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governmentsto the court. Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet. We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food. And guess what, we have faked beef. They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop. So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet. And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they're a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life. China is soon to pass the U.S. as the number one market for luxury brands -- that's not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere. But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S. dollars. They're not rich at all. They're taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status. And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called "naked" wedding, or "naked" marriage. It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love. And also, people are doing good through social media. And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogsfor food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watchingthrough microblogging. People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck. And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued. And here also people are helping to find missing children. A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet. After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment. People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?I guess these are the questions people are going to answer. And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.杨澜TED演讲:重塑中国的一代中文演讲稿在来爱尔兰的前一晚,我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。
感性与理性的完美结合——杨澜TED英语演讲稿
感性与理性的完美结合——杨澜TED英语演讲稿英语演讲稿杨澜是一位拥有着丰富媒体经验的作家和主持人,人称“中国脸谱”,她以其深刻的见解和广的知识面而闻名。
在2014年,杨澜在TED的演讲中阐述了感性与理性的完美结合,引起了人们的共鸣。
那么,感性和理性的结合究竟能带给我们怎样的启示呢?杨澜观察到了人们在追求真相和答案时,常常陷入偏见和盲目,这是因为我们缺乏对情感的理解和运用。
情感是人类交流的重要方式,因为它能够帮助我们看到事物的多个方面和角度,而且可以启迪我们理性思考的能力。
与此同时,理性的重要性也是不可忽视的,理性是我们分析和了解世界的基础。
与情感不同,理性涉及到逻辑、推理和分析,这种思维方式是客观与准确的,是取得成功的关键所在。
然而,我们需要理解的是,单单只有情感或是理性并不能带来成功,决策的正确性,也并不是在表现情感或理性上占优势的过程中取得。
正是因为情感和理性的结合,人们得以拥有一个充满感性和理性合二为一的脑袋,使我们更加合理、甚至是追求极致地了解我们所看到的或所经历的。
那么,如何将情感和理性结合得更加完美呢?我们要更加开放地面对不同的想法和见解,尽可能地了解他人的想法和经验。
当我们能够承认不同的文化、价值和观点的存在时,我们就能更好地结合感性和理性,从而更准确地解决问题。
我们要注重培养自己的情感与理性兼备的能力,只有通过学习、实践和反思,才能真正地拥有这种能力。
我们要注意自己的情感和理性的平衡,不可偏废,只有平衡地发挥情感和理性的优势,才能做出正确的决策。
在结束其演讲时,杨澜发出了一个深刻的思考,也是一个启示:感性和理性的完美结合,不仅是一个个体的成功之路,更是一个国家和社会的繁荣之路。
当人们拥有一个完整的情感与理性的系统,当我们能够坚持开放和平衡,当我们有意识地去培养和发挥这种系统的能力时,我们也将能够更好地找到问题的答案,解决我们所面临的困惑。
我们可以预见一个充满爱、包容和诚信的未来,也可以预见一个更加和谐、进步的世界。

(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 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 bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. and because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. that could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. most of them have fairly good education. the illiteracy rate in china among this generation is under one percent. in cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.but they are facing an aging china with a population above 65 years old ing up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of XX. and you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick. so it means young 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 whatdo they do? they have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves "tribe of ants." and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. 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 ine, less social welfare. and they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation,tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from europe or america for the products they produce. last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern oem manufacturing pound in china: 13 young workers in their late teens 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 the countryside,they find themselves very wele 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 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 decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forceddemolition 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 chineseexpenditures 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 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 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 of

[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

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

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

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

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

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.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 theshanghai expo. i saw china embracing the world and vice versa. but then sometimes i'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? how are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of china, or at large, the world?so today i want to talk about young people through the platform of social media. firstof all, who are they? [what] do they look like? well this is a girl called guo meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful. she showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the chinese version of twitter. and she claimed to be the general manager of red cross at the chamber of 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 time spent on it tripled. , a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. on tencent, 200 million. the most popularblogger -- 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 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 couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.so making a living is not that easy for young people. college graduates are not in short supply. in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. so what do they do? they have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they callthemselves "tribe of ants." and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40years to afford their first apartment. that ratio in america would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people. they find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas. most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging. they work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare. and they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from europe or america for the products they produce. last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern oem manufacturing compound in china: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease. but they died because of all different personal reasons. but this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from

holds a master's degree from columbia university in the united states, is one of china's 50 most successful entrepreneurs and probably china's wealthiest self-made woman. yang lan was 21 in her last year at the beijing foreign studies university in 1990 when she auditioned for –and won -- the position of host of the zheng da variety show on china central television. within a year zheng da, a prime-time-saturday celebrity quiz and talk show, was china's top-rated tv program, with an audience of 220 million. despite her celebrity, yang lan quit the show after four years to go to new york where she spent two years earning a master's degree at columbia university's school of international & public affairs. yang's tv skills are matched by a keen mind for business. in 1999, with her husband, bruno wu zheng, she started her own media company, sun television cyber networks (sun tv). traded on the hong kong stock exchange since last april, sun tv was valued at $179 million on nov. 3. yang owns 35%, worth $63 million.yang's mother was an engineer, and her father taught english literature at beijing foreign studies university and sometimes served as the official translator for former chinese premier zhou enlai. yang lan was appointed one of the image ambassadors of beijing in its 2014 bid in january, joining deng yaping and two other chinese women to be so honored: gong li, the film actress, and sang lan, the gymnast who was paralyzed in 1998 as she represented china at the goodwill game in the united states.。

杨澜ted演讲稿(精选多篇)第一篇:杨澜在ted的演讲稿yang lan: the generation that’s remaking chinathe night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final of “china’s got talent“ show in shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the sta dium. guess who was the performing guest?susan boyle. and i told her, “i’m going to scotland the next day.“ she sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in chinese.

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

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.。

她在演讲中分享了自己的人生经历,并讲述了当下中国的一些火热现象,演讲虽然不长,但是很多观点都很精辟,非常值得一看。
英文演讲稿: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 chinese. [chinese] soit’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff. it means “greenonion 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 inshanghai, who loves singing western opera, but she didn’t understand anyenglish or french or italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in chinese. (laughter) and the last sentenceof nessun dormathat she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” so [as] susanboyle 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 themthrough. 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, b ut could you let meknow, 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 p ersonalities 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. andcolumbia university to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my ownmedia company, which was unthought of during the years that i started mycareer. so we do a lot of things. i’ve interviewed more than a thousand peoplein 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 aretoday’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. first of all,

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.。

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 [sæŋ]beautifully ,and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese .So it’s not like “hello ”or “thank you ,”that ordinary stuff .It means “green onion for free .”What did she say that ?Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle --a 50-some year-old woman ,a vegetable vendor【卖主】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 .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[hɪ'leərɪəs] [滑稽的].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 towitness 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 [ɪn'terəgeɪt] by this Japanese manager for a half an hour ,he finally said “So ,miss Yang ,do you have any question to ask me ?”I summoned ['sʌmən][鼓起] 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 into a five-star hotel .Around the same time ,I was going through an audition [ɔː'dɪʃ(ə)n] --the first ever open audition by national TV 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 [ə'fend] 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 round 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 showon Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script .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 biding for the Olympic Games .I was representing the Shanghai Expo .I saw China embracing the world and vice versa .But then sometimes I am thinking ,you know what are today’s young generation up to ?How are they different ,and what are the difference they are going to make to shape the future of China ,or at large ,the world ?So today I want to talk about young generation 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 micro blog ,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 thecredibility 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’s 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 micro blog .Micro blog boomed in the year of 2010 ,with visitor doubled and time spent on it tripled ,a major news portal ,alone has more than 140 million micro bloggers . 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 micro bloggers 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 though micro blogging we are able to understand Chinese youth even better .So how are they different ?First ofall ,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 and 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 find 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 ,80percent 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 generation support the elders financially ,and taking care of them when they are 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 dollars .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 to earn ,but in China it’s 30 to 40 years with theskyrocketing real estate price .Among the 200 million migrant workers ,660 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 long hours with less income ,less social welfare .And they are more vulnerable to job losses ,subject to inflation ,tightening loans from banks ,appreciation of 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 metal ,of these migrant workers .For those who do return back to the countryside ,the 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 are 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 find 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 allthrough 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 toward 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 micro blogging ,we can see what young people care most about .Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what then 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 topicon 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 of on a bicycle .So in the next picture ,you see a very popular phenomenon called naked wedding ,or naked marriage .It does not means they will wear nothing in the wedding ,but it shows that these young couples are ready to ger married without a house ,without a car ,without adiamond 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 kidnapper dogs for food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through micro blogging .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 micro blogging .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 our environment .People are thinking about these following questions : Are we going to sacrifice our environment future 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 sort of friction going on at the same time ?I guess these are the questions people are going to answer .And our young generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves .Thank you very much .。

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。

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(普通话). 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."(送你葱)So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious.(滑稽的)So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor(小贩)in Shanghai belonged to otherness(n. 相异,不同,差异性). They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment(演艺), yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform(舞台、讲台、平台)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 youpresent 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(变革)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(询问)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(鼓起勇气)my courage and poise(沉着自信,稳重2.优雅的举止,仪态)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 (试镜)-- 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(拥护的;同情的)? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?" I thought I kind ofoffended(冒犯、触犯)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(存活的、留下的)it. So I was on a national television prime-time show(黄金时段). 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(审核过的稿件). (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(继续深造), 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(申请)for the Olympic Games. I was representing the Shanghai Expo. I saw China embracing(拥抱)the world and vice versa(反之亦然)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 socialmedia(社交媒介). 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(微博), 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(神经)and aroused(激起、引起)national国家的;民族的;全国的questioning(讨论), almost a turmoil(混乱、动乱), against the credibility 可信用,确实性,可靠,公信力of Red Cross. The controversy.(公开辩论,论战)was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify(澄清)it, and the investigation(研究、调查)is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up (谎报、捏造)that title -- probably because she feels proud to be associated with(与、、联系起来)charity(慈善机构). All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision(分枝)of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce. It's very complicated to explain这解释起来很复杂. But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it. It is still boiling. It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed(政府支助)institutions, which lacked transparency 透明,透明度,透明物in the past. And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed(繁荣)in the year of 2010, with visitors(来访者)doubled and time spent on it tripled(三倍的). , a major news portal(入口、大门), 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(溪流)out a little bit社交媒体提供了一个开放的平台进行了一些(民众观点的)分流. But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active (活跃的、积极的、有效的)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(堕胎流产、)by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. That could pose (造成)a potential(潜在的)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(文盲率)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 withseven-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 (财政土地), 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 (预期、期望)of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people. College graduates are not in short supply(紧缺资源). In urban areas城市, 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,榨取;挤;挤取2.用力挤压in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves "tribe of ants."(蚁族)And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out(计算)they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment. That ratio(比例、比率)in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing(飞涨、突升)real estate地产权;财产权price.Among the 200 million migrant迁移的,移居的workers, 60 percent of them are young people. They find themselves sort(种类、类型)of sandwiched(夹于两者之间的;在...中间的)between the urban areas and the rural (农村)areas. Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging(归属感). They work for longer hours with less income(收入), less social welfare. Andthey're more vulnerable易受伤的,脆弱的,敏感的to job losses, subject to inflation通货膨胀,, tightening loans from banks银行利率,, appreciation of the renminbi人民币升值的影响, or decline(下降)of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce. Last year, though, an appalling令人震惊的incident事情,发生的事in a southern OEM manufacturing (制造业)compound 恶化in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious(传染)disease. But they died because of all different personal reasons. But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry强烈的抗议from society about the isolation 1.隔离;孤立;脱离;分离, 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(援助)of the Internet, they're able to create more jobs, upgrade (提升)local agriculture (农业)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(劳动力短缺).These diagrams(图解、图表)show a more general social background. The first one is the Engels coefficient(恩格斯系数(食品支出占总消费支出的比例), which explains that the cost of daily necessities has dropped its percentage all through the pastdecade(十年), 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(基尼系数)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(仇富、仇官)is quite widespread. So any accusations(指责,谴责,指控,控诉;罪名)of corruption(腐败)or backdoor(走后门)dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even unrest. 社会危机和不稳定So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about. Social justice and government accountability runs政府公信力the first in what they demand. For the past decade or so, a massive急速的urbanization城市化and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition拆除、拆毁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会议passed a new regulation on house requisition正式请求and demolition拆除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假冒的牛肉. They have sorts of ingredients (混合物的)组成部分,成分;(烹调的)原料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 illeaged cooking oil from restaurant slop(溅出、溢出、泼出). 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 concernsWhile young people seem to be very sure about their participation参加、参与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(奢侈品)-- that's not including the Chinese expenditures(消费、支出)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(身份)and social status. And this is a girl explicitly 明白地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 bicycleSo in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called "naked" wedding(裸婚), 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(婚宴), to show their commitment to (;献身,投身(+to)true love. And also, people are doing good through social media. And the first picture showed us that a truck caging偷运500 homeless无家可归and kidnapped 绑架、骗走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(商议、谈判、沟通), 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(团圆、团聚)of the family through microbloggingSo 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(价值),but also, it's about the environment. People are thinking about the following questions:永丰小学教师结对帮扶贫困学生9月份活动总结Are we going to sacrifice 牺牲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 可持续发展and stability稳定性? And also, how capable is the system of self-correctness (自我修复)to keep more people content with all sorts of friction (摩擦、不和)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页脚内容11。
