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。

杨澜英语演讲稿三分钟(3篇)
第1篇Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is a great honor to stand before you today and share my thoughts on a topic that is close to my heart: the power of education.Education is often referred to as the key to success, and I believe this to be true. It is not just about acquiring knowledge, but also about nurturing our minds, shaping our characters, and preparing us for the challenges that lie ahead in life. In this speech, I would like to explore the importance of education, its impact on society, and how we can harness its full potential.Firstly, education is a fundamental human right. Every individual, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to learn and grow. Education empowers us to think critically, question the world around us, and make informed decisions. It is the cornerstone of a democratic society, where every citizen has the ability to participate fully in the political, economic, and cultural life of their country.In today's rapidly changing world, the role of education has become even more crucial. Technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, and the skills we learn in school are no longer enough to prepare us for the future. We need to be lifelong learners, constantly adapting and evolving to keep up with the latest developments. Education equips us with the tools we need to navigate this ever-changing landscape, and to contribute positively to our communities.The impact of education on society is profound. Educated individuals are more likely to be employed, earn higher incomes, and contribute to the economic growth of their countries. They are also more likely to be informed and engaged citizens, who are active participants in the democratic process. Education fosters social cohesion, reduces poverty, and promotes gender equality. It is a powerful force for good, and its benefits ripple through society.However, despite its many advantages, education remains out of reach for far too many people. In developing countries, millions of children aredenied the chance to attend school due to poverty, discrimination, and lack of resources. Even in wealthier nations, there are stilldisparities in access to quality education, with marginalized communities often being left behind. It is our responsibility to bridge this gap and ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive.So, how can we harness the full potential of education? Here are a few suggestions:1. Invest in Education: Governments and private institutions must prioritize education in their budgets, ensuring that schools have the necessary resources to provide a high-quality learning environment. This includes qualified teachers, updated curricula, and access to technology.2. Promote Inclusive Education: We must strive to create inclusive classrooms where every student feels valued and has the opportunity to succeed. This means addressing the needs of students with disabilities, supporting those from diverse cultural backgrounds, and providing equal access to education for girls and boys.3. Foster Lifelong Learning: Encourage a culture of learning that extends beyond the classroom. This involves promoting continuous professional development for teachers, and providing opportunities for adults to acquire new skills and knowledge.4. Support Education Technology: Utilize technology to bridge the gap between rural and urban schools, and to provide personalized learning experiences for students. Online platforms and mobile applications can reach those in remote areas, and make education more accessible.5. Advocate for Education: Raise awareness about the importance of education, and advocate for policies that support its development. This includes fighting for the rights of children to attend school, and ensuring that funding is allocated appropriately.In conclusion, education is a powerful tool that can transform lives and shape the future of our world. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that every individual has access to quality education, and thatwe harness its full potential to create a more just, equitable, and prosperous society.Thank you for your attention, and I invite you to join me in this journey of learning and discovery. Together, we can make a difference.Thank you.第2篇Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is a great honor to stand before you today and share my thoughts on an issue that is of paramount importance to us all – the power of education.In a world that is constantly evolving and advancing, education has become the cornerstone of progress and prosperity. It is the key that unlocks the door to a brighter future, and it is the catalyst for positive change. Today, I want to talk about why education is not just a right, but a necessity, and how it can transform lives and societies.Firstly, education empowers individuals. It is not merely about acquiring knowledge; it is about nurturing critical thinking, fostering creativity, and developing skills that are essential for success in the modern world. When we educate a child, we give them the tools to understand the world around them and to navigate it with confidence. Education teaches us to question, to explore, and to innovate. Itinstills in us a sense of curiosity and a passion for learning that can never be taken away.Consider the countless stories of individuals who have transformed their lives through education. Take Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani activist who stood up for the right of girls to be educated. Despite facing immense adversity, Malala's determination and education have inspired millions to fight for the same cause. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of education, which can break the chains of ignorance and oppression.Furthermore, education is a driving force for economic growth and development. In today's globalized world, knowledge and skills are themost valuable commodities. Countries that invest in education see adirect correlation between educational attainment and economic prosperity. Educated populations are more likely to be employed, contribute to innovation, and participate in the global economy. Theyare also more likely to be engaged citizens who can make informed decisions and contribute to the betterment of their communities.However, despite the numerous benefits of education, there are still millions of children and adults around the world who are denied this fundamental right. Barriers such as poverty, gender inequality, and political instability continue to prevent access to quality education.It is our collective responsibility to address these challenges and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow.To overcome these barriers, we must take a multi-faceted approach. Governments must prioritize education in their budgets and policies, ensuring that schools are accessible, safe, and equipped with the necessary resources. Non-governmental organizations and private sector entities must also play a role by supporting initiatives that provide alternative learning opportunities, especially for those who are most marginalized.In addition, we must recognize the importance of lifelong learning. Education is not a one-time event but a continuous process that spans a person's entire life. In an era of rapid technological change, it is crucial to adapt and evolve, staying abreast of new knowledge and skills. This requires a culture of continuous learning and a commitment to personal and professional development.As individuals, we can also contribute to the cause of education. We can advocate for change, support educational programs, and share our knowledge and experiences with others. By doing so, we become part of a global movement that is committed to creating a more educated and equitable world.In conclusion, education is a powerful force that can change the course of our lives and our societies. It is a tool for empowerment, a driverof economic growth, and a foundation for a better future. Let us notunderestimate its importance and let us work together to ensure that every child, everywhere, has access to quality education.Thank you for listening, and I hope that we can all leave here today with a renewed commitment to the cause of education.[The end]Note: The above speech is a fictional composition and is designed to fulfill the requirements of a three-minute English speech by a speaker like杨澜 (Yang Lan). The content is a blend of inspirational messages, personal anecdotes, and global issues related to education.第3篇Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is a great honor to stand before you today to share my thoughts on a topic that is both deeply personal and universally relevant: the power of curiosity and the importance of lifelong learning.Curiosity, as the ancient Roman philosopher Seneca once said, "is the very soul of wisdom." It is the driving force behind human progress, innovation, and discovery. Without curiosity, we would be content with the status quo, living in a world devoid of wonder and excitement.In today's rapidly changing world, the importance of lifelong learning cannot be overstated. Technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, and new knowledge is being created at an alarming pace. To keep up with these changes, we must embrace the spirit of curiosity and commit to continuous learning.When I was a young girl, I was filled with a boundless curiosity about the world around me. I was always asking questions, seeking answers, and yearning to understand the complexities of life. This curiosity led me to explore various subjects, from science to art, from history to culture. It was this curiosity that sparked my passion for journalism and brought me to where I am today.However, curiosity is not just about seeking knowledge; it is also about challenging ourselves and pushing the boundaries of our comfort zones.It is about asking difficult questions, engaging in meaningful conversations, and embracing the unknown. This can be daunting, but itis also what makes life truly exciting and fulfilling.Ladies and gentlemen, let me share with you a few thoughts on how we can harness the power of curiosity and embrace lifelong learning:Firstly, we must cultivate a mindset of curiosity. This means beingopen-minded, willing to learn from others, and embracing new experiences. It means not being afraid to ask questions, even if they seem trivial or naive. It means recognizing that there is always more to learn, nomatter how much we already know.Secondly, we must create opportunities for learning. This can be as simple as reading a book, attending a lecture, or engaging in a conversation with someone who has a different perspective. It can also mean seeking out new experiences, traveling to new places, or taking up a new hobby. The more we expose ourselves to new ideas and experiences, the more our curiosity will be piqued.Thirdly, we must be willing to take risks. Curiosity often leads us to explore uncharted territories, and this can be risky. But it is through taking risks that we discover new possibilities and push the limits of what we thought was possible. So, let us not be afraid to step out ofour comfort zones and embrace the unknown.Fourthly, we must be patient with ourselves and others. Learning is a journey, and it takes time. We must be patient as we navigate throughthe challenges and setbacks that come with learning. We must also be patient with others, recognizing that they may be at different stages in their learning process.Lastly, we must remember that curiosity and lifelong learning are notjust individual endeavors; they are collective efforts. We must work together, sharing our knowledge and experiences, to create a culture of learning that thrives in our communities, schools, and workplaces.In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, curiosity is the torch that illuminates our path to wisdom. It is the engine that drives progressand innovation. And lifelong learning is the fuel that keeps that engine running. Let us embrace the power of curiosity, commit to lifelong learning, and together, we can create a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come.Thank you.。

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is a great honor to stand before you today and share my thoughts on a topic that is close to my heart – the power of embracing challenges and the pioneering spirit. My name is Yang Lan, and I am not just a media personality, but also a lifelong learner and a relentless explorer.As we gather here today, each of us has our own dreams, aspirations, and ambitions. However, life is not a smooth path lined with roses. It is filled with obstacles, uncertainties, and moments of doubt. It is in these challenging times that we find our true strength and character. Today, I want to inspire you to embrace challenges with courage and determination, just as I have done throughout my journey.Firstly, let us reflect on the definition of a challenge. A challenge is not just a problem to be solved; it is an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to become better versions of ourselves. When we face a challenge, we are pushed out of our comfort zones, and this is where our truepotential lies.I remember when I first started my career in media. It was a time when the industry was dominated by men, and there were very few women in leadership positions. I was determined to make a name for myself, butthe road was not easy. I faced discrimination, stereotypes, and a lackof opportunities. However, instead of letting these challenges discourage me, I chose to embrace them.I took every opportunity to prove my worth and to break through theglass ceiling. I worked tirelessly, honing my skills and expanding my knowledge. I sought mentorship from experienced professionals and surrounded myself with a network of supportive colleagues. Through these efforts, I not only gained the respect of my peers but also paved the way for future generations of women in media.Embracing challenges also means being open to change. Change is the only constant in life, and those who resist it are bound to be left behind. When I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, I had to learn new skills,adapt to new roles, and take risks that were completely outside my comfort zone. It was not an easy transition, but I knew that in order to succeed, I had to embrace change and be willing to learn.One of the most significant challenges I faced was the launch of my own television show, "Yang Lan." It was a groundbreaking project that aimed to promote cultural exchange and understanding between China and the world. The process was fraught with difficulties, from securing funding to finding the right format and talent. However, I believed in thevision and was determined to make it a success.Through countless hours of planning, coordination, and perseverance, we managed to create a show that resonated with audiences worldwide. It was a testament to the power of determination and the importance of never giving up, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.As I reflect on my experiences, I am reminded of the words of Nelson Mandela, who once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Education has been a driving force in my life, and it has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to navigate through the toughest of times.In order to embrace challenges, we must be lifelong learners. We must constantly seek out new information, ideas, and perspectives. We must be willing to question the status quo and to challenge ourselves to think outside the box. It is through this continuous learning process that we can overcome the limitations imposed by fear, doubt, and complacency.Ladies and Gentlemen,The world is a dynamic place, and it requires individuals who are not afraid to take risks, to experiment, and to push boundaries. As we move forward, let us remember that every challenge we face is an opportunity to grow, to evolve, and to contribute positively to society.In closing, I would like to leave you with a few words of advice:1. Embrace challenges with an open mind and a positive attitude.2. Surround yourself with supportive people who believe in your dreams.3. Be willing to learn from your mistakes and to adapt as you grow.4. Never lose sight of your values and your purpose.5. Have the courage to dream big and to pursue those dreams with passion and determination.In embracing challenges, we not only empower ourselves but also inspire others to do the same. Together, we can create a world that is filled with possibilities, where our collective potential knows no bounds.Thank you for listening, and may you all find the strength and courage to embrace the challenges that lie ahead with grace and determination.Godspeed.[Applause]。

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。

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.。

：重塑xx的年轻一代The night before I was heading for Scotland,I was invited to host the final of "China'sGot Talent"show in Shanghai with the 80,000live audiences 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 "greenonion for free."Why did she say that?Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle --a 50-someyear-old woman,a vegetable vendor in Shanghai,who loves sing 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 sing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audiences sang together. That was hilarious.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。

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 sangbeautifully, 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 fromour chinese parallel susan boyle a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor inshanghai, who love s 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 sentence of 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 differentfrom different perspectives. but i think being different is good, becauseyou 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 graduatingfrom 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. soafter being interrogated by this japanese manager for a half an hour,hefinally 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 somesweet,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 hav e 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 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 ownmedia pany, 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 sometimesi’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?wellthis is a girl called guo meimei 20 years old, beautiful. she showedoffher 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 subdivis ion of red cross at chamber of merce. it’s very plicated to explain. but anyway, the public still doesn’t buy it. it is still boiling. it shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past. and also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.microblog boomed in the year of XX, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. sina., a major news portal, alone hasmore 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 thesteam out a little bit. but because you don’t have many other openings, theheat ing out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.so through microblogging, we are able to understand chinese youth even better. so how are they different? first of all, most of them were born in the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. and because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. that could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we’re in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. most of them have fairly good education.the illiteracy rate in china among this generation is under one percent. incities, 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 2030. and you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they’re sick. so it means young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.so making a living is not that easy for young people.college graduates are not in short supply. in urban areas, college graduates find thestarting 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 invery 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 theirfirstapartment. that ratio in america would only cost a couple five yearsto 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 hourswith less ine, less social welfare. and they’re more vulnerable to joblosses, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciationof the renminbi, or decline of demand from europe or america for the products theyproduce. last year, though, an appalling incident in asouthern oemmanufacturing 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, ofthese migrant workers.for those who do return back to the countryside, they find themselves very wele locally, because with the knowledge, skills and networks theyhave learned in the cities, with the assistance of the internet,they’reable to create more jobs, upgrade local agriculture and create newbusinessin 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 dailynecessitieshas dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms offamily 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 worsethan that in america showing us the ine 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 isquite 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 governmentaccountability runs the first in what they demand. for the past decade or so, amassive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports onthe 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 incidentsare reported more and more frequently on the internet, people cry for thegovernment 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 passedthe 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 guesswhat, we have faked beef. they have sorts of ingredients that you brush on apiece 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 somet imes 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 atall. 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 showthat 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 mea n 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 dogs for food processing was spotted andstopped 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. afather 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.。
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.。

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.

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, who are they [what] do they look likewell this is a girl called guo meimei ——20 years old, beautiful. she showed offher 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 nationalquestioning, 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 hasmore 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 thesteam out a little bit. but because you don’t have many other openings, theheat 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 2030. and you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them whenthey’re sick. so it means young couples will have tosupport four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.so making a living is not that easy for youngpeople.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 invery 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 firstapartment. 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. andthey’re more vulnerable to joblosses, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciation of therenminbi, or decline of demand from europe or america for the products theyproduce. last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern oemmanufacturing 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, ofthese 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 newbusiness 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 dailynecessities has dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms offamily 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 ginicoefficient 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 isquite 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 governmentaccountability runs the first in what they demand. for the past decade or so, amassive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports onthe 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 thegovernment 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 passedthe right to order forced demolitionfrom 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 guesswhat, we have faked beef. they have sorts of ingredients that you brush on apiece 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 sometimesthey’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 atall. 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 bmwthan 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 andstopped 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 heardthrough the past two years. happiness is not onlyrelated 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 ofself-correctness to keep more people content with all sorts of friction goingon 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.译文：来苏格兰(做ted讲演)的前夜，我被邀请去上海做”中国达人秀“决赛的评委。
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.。

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 stadium. guess who was the performing guest?susan boyle. and itold her, “i"m going to scotland the ne_t 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 boylewas 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 leaste_pected 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 question s to ask me?”i summoned my courage and poise andsaid,“yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?” i didn"t have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel.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. theproducer 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. andso i was in the second round of petition, and then thethird 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 thati 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 e_po. isaw 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 thedifferences 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 throughthe platform of social media. first of all, who are they?

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 e_pensive 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 e_plain. 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 2021, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. sina., a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. on tencent, 200 million. the most popular blogger -- it"s not me -- it"s a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans. about 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. and because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit. but because you don"t have many other openings, the heat ing out of 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 havefairly 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 ing up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2021. 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 fourparents who have a life e_pectancy 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 400u.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, theyfigured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years toafford their first apartment. that ratio in america wouldonly 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 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 alldifferent 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 works they have learned in thecities, with the assistance of the inter, 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 e_plains that the cost of daily necessities has dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms offamily ine, to about 37-some percent. but then in thelast 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 ine 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 mostabout. 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 uswitness 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 fireto protest. so when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the inter, people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.so the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forceddemolition from local governments to the court. similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the inter. we heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food. and guess what, we have faked beef. they have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef. and then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop. so all these thingshave aroused a huge outcry from the inter. and fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.while young people seem to be very sure 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 lu_ury brands -- that"s not including the chinese e_penditures 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 girle_plicitly 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 ne_t 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 mitment to true love. and also, people are doing good through social media. and the first picture showed usthat 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 inter. after thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.so happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. happiness is not only related to personal e_periences and personal values, but also, it"s about the environment. people are thinking about the following questions: are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher gdp? how are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? and also, how capable is the system of self-correctness to keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time? i guess these are the questions people are going to answer. and our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves. thank you very much.第三篇：杨澜ted演讲杨澜ted演讲：重塑中国的年轻一代讲义yang lan, born in 1968 in beijing, who holds a master"s degree from columbia university

杨澜-改变中国一代,中英对照
澜TED演讲：重塑中国的年轻一代（英文演讲稿）Yang Lan: The generation that's remaking ChinaThe night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of "China's Got Talent" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. Guess who was the performing guest?Susan Boyle. And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day." She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese]So it's not like "hello" or "thank you," that ordinary stuff. It means "green onion for free." Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realizetheir dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year of 1990,when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it's still there. So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, "So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?"I summoned my courage and poise and said,"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?" I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls. The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, "Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to bebeautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?" I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they were impressed by my words. And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it. So I was on a national television prime-time show. And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script. (Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people. Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career. So we do a lot of things. I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, "Lan, you changed my life," and I feel proud of that. But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country. I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games. I was representing the Shanghai Expo. I saw China embracing the world and vice versa. But then sometimes I'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media.

That was hilarious.在来爱尔兰的前一晚，我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。
猜猜谁是表演嘉宾？——苏珊大妈。
我告诉她，“我明天要去爱尔兰了。
” 她歌声犹如天籁。
而且她还可以说点中文。
“送你葱。
” 这不是“你好、谢谢”之类的日常用语。
这组词翻译过来是免费给你青葱，为什么她要说这个呢？因为这是我们中国版的苏珊大妈很有名的一句歌词。
这位五十几岁的大妈在上海以贩卖蔬菜为生。
她喜欢西方的歌剧，但是她不懂任何外语，所以她就把中文蔬菜名填做歌词。
当她在体育场里唱到今夜无人入眠的最后一句时，她唱的是“送你葱”。
苏珊大妈和全场八万观众一起唱“送你葱”，多有意思的场面。
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.我想苏珊大妈和这位在上海做蔬菜买卖的都属于不同寻常的人。
在业界所谓的娱乐圈，他们最不可能取得成功，但是他们的勇气和才华让他们成功了。
一场秀，一个平台给了他们实现梦想的舞台。
与众不同不难，从不同的角度看我们都是不一样的。
我认为与众不同是好的，因为你有不同的看法，这给你机会去产生不同的影响。
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.

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.我们这代人有幸见证和参与了过去二三十年中国的历史性的转型。
我记得在九十年代，刚从大学毕业的我申请了一份在北京五星级酒店销售部的工作。
在日本经理一个半小时的面试后，他最后说：“杨小姐，你有什么问题要问我吗？”我鼓起勇气，定定神然后问道：“您能告诉我销售部到底销售什么？”我对于五星级酒店的销售部的职责一点都摸不着头脑。
那是我在五星级酒店的第一天。
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?

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.同时，我和上千名大学女生参加了一场由中国中央电视台举办的史无前例的公开选拔。
制作人告诉我们他们想找一位可爱，天真，美丽的新面孔。
当轮到我时，我站起来说道，“为什么女孩在电视上必须是漂亮，甜美，无邪的，像个花瓶？为什么她们不能有她们的想法，她们自己的声音？”我想我一定得罪了评委。
但是事实上，我的发言给他们留下了深刻的印象。
接下来我进入了第二轮的选拔，然后是第三轮，第四轮。
在经过七轮的选拔后，我胜出了。
成为了一个国家电视台黄金时段节目的主持人。
不管你们相不相信，那是中国电视上第一个节目可以允许主持人自由发挥而不是去读审查后的稿子。
这个节目的观众人数高达两到三千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 stWell 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 generations 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?几年后，我决定去美国哥伦比亚大学进修。
