“Your mouth and your mind are wonderful things.”人的嘴巴和脑子是非 常奇妙的东西 They start working the minute you're born and never stop...它们从你生下来那一刻 起就开始工作。并且从 不停止…… until you get up to speak in public.直到你站起来面对公众 演讲时。“ ” Of all the many things to fear in life, 生活中所有让人害怕的 事情中，people fear public speaking the most.最叫人害怕的是面对公 众演讲。

But stage fright is only half the challenge 但是，怯场还只是这种 挑战的一半。

First you have to figure out what you're going to say.首先你得盘算好说些什 么。Here many people freeze, 许多人在这儿就卡住了，held back by the idea that speeches are magic, 认为演讲很神秘，像是 魔法

and that they are some combination of special tricks 和难以企及的表演的某 种结合，and show business that cannot be achieved 正是这种看法

by the average person.令普通人望而却步。Speeches are not magic.演讲并不神秘。

A speech is a combination of information and opinion 演讲实质上是写在纸上 written on paper and spoken.由口头表达的信息和意 见的结合体。If you can have a thoughtful conversation, 如果你能够富有见解地 与人交谈，you can write and give a thoughtful speech.你肯定能写出和发表一 篇富有见地的演讲。This is just one more reason 这又说明为什么

The more important the message, 越是重要的信息，the less time required to say it.说的时间要越短。

The Gettysburg Address lasted only about three minutes.林肯总统的葛底斯堡演 讲只用了仅仅三分钟。In other words, 换句话说，the shorter our speech is, 你的演讲越短，the more easily it can be remembered!就越容易给人留下深刻 印象。Focus on one topic.集中于一个主题。

It is too difficult to follow along 一场包含许多思想、观 点的演讲

to a speech that covers too man thoughts, opinions or ideas.很难使听众从头至尾地 听完。Choose your words carefully.遣词用字细斟酌。

It's important to remember 记住这一点很重要，that your words must be hearable 你用的词一开口就

and comprehensible the first time out.一定要让人听得见，听 得懂。A lot of words sound alike.许多词发音相似。For instance, 例如，如果你读得快一 点，the words “eunuch” and “unique” sound very similar “eunuch”(太监)和“uni que”(惟一的；独特的)when pronounced quickly.这两个词就很相似。

A speech that describes a unique responsibility 一篇描述一项特别责任 的演讲 is very different from a speech 与一篇介绍太监职责的 演讲

that describes a eunuch responsibility!有着天壤之别。

Certainly is!That's why pronounciation is also important.在选择你的用词的时候，in chosing your words.发音当然是非常重要的。

Humor is vital.as we demonstrate it, 幽默至关重要。Every speech needs it,and you need it, too,probably at the top.每篇演讲都需要幽默，你也需要，也许就在演 讲开始的时候。Ronald Reagan always wanted a joke 罗纳德·里很总是在演 讲 at the beginning of a speech 开始时讲个笑话，because he needed the quick victory of laughter.因为他需要让笑声带给 他迅捷的胜利。It helped him relax.这有助于他放松，It also helped the audience relax.也帮助听众放松。

Don't forget to say thanks.不要忘了致谢。

of someone who's been invited to a party 要像一个被邀请参加舞 会的人，and just walked in the door to shake the host's hand.而且是刚刚进门走上前 去和主人握手的那种样 子。Offer a compliment or a warm word.说几句热情的恭维话。That's all that's needed.这样就行了。

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country.因此，我的美国同胞们，不要问你们的国家能为你们做些什么，而应该问一问你们能为 你们的国家做些什么。

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.世界各国的公民们，不要问美国能为你们做 些什么要问一问我们一起能为 人类的自由做些什么。

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.最后，不管你是美国公民还是其他国家的公民，请以同样的高标准要求 我们吧，就像我们要求你们那样，也要求我们贡献出力量.39 With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.作出牺牲吧!让我们率 领着我们所热爱的祖国，奋勇前进吧！问心无愧 将是我们惟一能得到的 报酬，历史将是我们业绩的最 后裁判。我们祈求上帝的保佑和 帮助，但我们知道，在这个世 界上，上帝的事业要靠 我们来实现。---------I HAVE A DREAM by MARTIN.LUTHER.KING我有一个梦想片段—马丁路德金

Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.让我们回到密西西比去，回到阿拉巴马去，回到南卡罗采纳去，回到佐治亚去，回到路易斯安那去，回到我们北方城市中的 贫民区和少数民族居住 区去，我们坚信这种状况是能 够也必将会改变的。我们不要陷入绝望的深 渊中

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of the day and tomorrow.朋友们，今天我对你们说，尽管今天和明天我们都 面临着种种困难，I still have a dream.但我仍然有一个梦想。It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.这个梦想是深深扎根于美国的梦想中的。

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: we hold these truth to be self-evident:that all men are created equal.“ 我梦想有一天，这个国 家会站立起来，真正实现其信条的真谛:”我们认为这些真理是 不言而喻的：人人生而平等；“ ” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.我梦想有一天，在佐治亚的红山上，昔日奴隶的儿子将能够和昔日奴隶主的儿子坐在一起，共叙兄弟情谊。

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a(desert)state, swelte ring with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.我梦想有一天，甚至在 密西西比州这个正义匿迹、压迫成风的地方，也变成自由和正义的绿 洲。

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today.我梦想有一天，我的四个孩子能生活在一个不是以他们的肤色，而是以他们的品格优劣来评价他们的国家里，我今天有一个梦想。I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right here in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today.41 我梦想有一天，阿拉巴 马州能够有所转变，尽管该州州长现在仍然 满口异议，反对联邦法令，但有朝 一日，阿拉巴马州这里的黑人 男孩和女孩就能与白人男孩和女孩 情同骨肉携手并进。我今天有一 个梦想。

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted.Every hill and mountain shall be made low.The rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glow of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.This is our hope.我梦想有一天，幽谷上升，高山下降，坎坷曲折之路化为坦途，主的荣耀显露，普照天地人间。这就是 我们的希望。

With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.有了这个信念，我们就 能一起工作，一起祈祷，一起斗争，一起坐牢，一起维护自由；因为我 们知道，终有一天，我 们是会自由的。

---------------------------China has an Olympic Dream中国有个奥林匹克梦 Everybody has a dream.每个人都有一个梦想。

Martin Luther King has a dream and we can all recall his famous Civil Rights speech.马丁·路德·全有一个 梦想一一我们都能回忆起他着名的人权演讲。Phil Knight had a dream and now the whole world knows his Nike slogan, “Just do it”.菲尔骑士有一个梦想一 一现在全世界人民都知道了他的耐克的口号：“只 管做吧!” China also has a dream, an Olympic dream.挑中国也同样有一个梦想，一个奥林匹克梦想

A hundred years ago, a newspaper in Tianjin.Published an article about China's Olympic dream.一百年以前，天津出版的一份报纸刊登了中国奥林匹梦的文章，These challenging questions were raised.给当时的中国提出了三 个很有挑战性的问题。

The first, when can China send a team to the Olympics? 首先，什么时候中国能派第一 支队伍参加奥运会? The second, when can China win an Olympic gold medal? 其次，什么时候，中国人能赢 得第一块金牌?

The third, when can China host an Olympic Games? 第三，什么时候中国能主办奥 运会? As you all know, our country has answered the first two.公众所周知，我们已经回答了前两个 问题。

China sent its team nearly 70 years ago and won its first gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Games.Since then, we have all been hoping to answer the third.中国于70多年前就派她 的第一支代表队参加了奥运会，并在1984年的洛杉矶奥 运会上赢得了第一块全牌。从那一刻起，我们就企 盼着回答第三个问题。

Earlier this year, China started its final bid for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, our passion is to realize the last part of our Olympic dream.今年早些时候，中国开始了申办2008年 奥运会的后续工作，我们的热情将谱写我们 奥林匹克梦的最后一部 曲。

That dream guided our first bid eight years ago.这个梦想引导我们在8 年前进行了第一次申办 活动，No Chinese will soon forget the disappointment when it burst!所有的中国人都不会忘记那梦想破碎时的失望。

However, China's commitment to the Olympic movement has revived the dream.然而，中国对奥林匹克 运动的热情又重新点燃了梦想的火 炬。As you know, China increased its participation in Sydney and brought home unparalleled success with 28 gold medals.45 大家都知道，中国队积极参与悉尼奥运并捧回了史无前例的28 枚金牌。

In the past eight years, China has spared no efforts to host international sporting events and create a green environment for our Olympic dream.在过去的8年中，中国不遗余力地举办各种国际性的体育 赛事，为我们的奥林匹克梦创 造绿色环境。

It seems everyone is now trying to contribute to our Green Olympic bid.似乎每个人都在为我们 的绿色申奥贡献力量

Even my 12-year-old cousin from Beijing is doing her part.连我北京12岁的表妹都在尽她的责任--When she visited my hometown during the Spring Festival, she proudly told me she is part of the “Green Angels Campaign”.Then, as if making an announcement at a conference, she declared every Sunday, she joins her Green Angels Group and spends two hours collecting litter in a park.她春节来我家的时候，骄傲地告诉我，她是“绿色天使活动”的一员。然后，像在会上宣布决定那样，她宣布，每个星期天，她都参加绿色天使团活 动，在公园里捡两个小时垃圾，I felt dubious, because I know she seldom does anything at home with her “tender little hands”.Let alone collecting litter!However, her parents confirmed and supported their daughter's efforts.我很怀疑，因为我知道，她在家里 很少用她那双“娇嫩的小手”做 事，更别提捡垃圾了!然而，她爸爸妈妈答应了，并支持他们的女儿这样 做。

Beyond the recent personal, the whole country has for many years been laying foundations for this vision.除个人参与外，很多年来，整个国家一 直都在为此而打基础，We are the global village, yet in the past two decades, we have made great social and economic progress.我们是地球村里人口最 多的国家，但在过去的二十年中，我们在社会和经济发展 中取得了巨大的成就。

For the first time, instead of worrying about food, we now can choose from a wide variety of hypermarkets and restaurants for the first time, instead of concerns about a roof to shelter us, many are now buying their own apartments.我们第一次不用为食物担忧，我们可以到超市和餐馆里慢慢挑选；不再为我们的住所担心，许多人都能购买自己的 公寓。So, for a whole country, China has regarded the opportunity to host the Olympics as a symbol of prosperity and also as a symbol of ration in the international community.对中国，我们把举办奥运的机会视为国家繁荣的象征，也是跟国际接轨的象征，This may also explain why so many Chinese were moved to tears each time the TV showed our national flag being raised in an Olympic stadium.这也可以解释为什么这么多的中国人当从电视上看到我们的国旗从奥运 体育馆升起的时候会激动得流泪。

Those Olympic achievements illustrate how the Chinese dragon is waking.这些成绩讲述了东方巨龙是怎样醒来的。

Even my young cousin is waking to her responsibility to sacrifice study time and dirty her hands to see this dream fulfilled of hosting an Olympic Games.甚至我的表妹也意识到，她牺牲她的学习时间，弄脏她的小手，为了见证我们奥林匹克 梦想的实现。

Everyone feels overjoyed when a great dream comes true.当伟大梦想实现的时候，每个人都欢欣鼓舞，I will feel very happy if I can realize my dream today: to win this competition.如果我能够实现我今天的梦想赢得此次比赛，The Chinese people will feel rewarded if they can win the bid this July and realize their Olympic dream, a century-old dream.我也将非常高兴。如果中国人民能赢得7 月的胜利实现我们上百年的奥休匹克梦想，我们将会感觉到，这是 一种回报。

But like all dreams, you never know the ending until the last minute.但像所有的梦一样，只有到最后一刻，你才 会知道它的结局，So, if I could add something more to Beijing's bid.I would simply say: “Hey, world, now is the time to let us 'JUST DO IT'!” 所以，如果我能为北京申奥作点什么的话.我只想简单的说：“嘿，全世界人民，现在是让我们'做'的时 候啦!” Thank you for dreaming with me!谢谢你们和我一起体验 梦境--------------------

From a Speech-writer's Mouth演讲稿撰稿者谈演讲

Someone once said, “Your mouth and your mind are wonderful things.有人曾经说过：”人的嘴巴和脑子是非 常奇妙的东西

They start working the minute you're born and never stop...until you get up to speak in public.它们从你生下来那一刻起就开始工作。并且从不停止，直到你站起来面对公众演讲时。

" Of all the many things to fear in life, people fear public speaking the most.生活中所有让人害怕的 事情中，最叫人害怕的是面对公 众演讲。But stage fright is only half the challenge First you have to figure out what you're going to say.但是，怯场还只是这种挑战的一半。首先你得盘算好说些什 么。

Here many people freeze, held back by the idea that speeches are magic, and that they are some combination of special tricks and show business that cannot be achieved by the average person.许多人在这儿就卡住了，认为演讲很神秘，像是魔法和难以企及的表演的某种结合，正是这种看法令普通人望而却步。Speeches are not magic.演讲并不神秘。

A speech is a combination of information and opinion written on paper and spoken.演讲实质上是写在纸上由口头表达的信息和意 见的结合体。If you can have a thoughtful conversation, you can write and give a thoughtful speech.49 如果你能够富有见解地 与人交谈，你肯定能写出和发表一 篇富有见地的演讲。

This is just one more reason why spoken English is so important!这又说明为什么口语如此重要。

Here are a few things I've learned as a speechwriter.That may help: 下面是我当演讲词撰稿 人学到的几点，也许有帮助：

No speech should last more than 20 minutes.演讲不要超过20分钟。

The more important the message, the less time required to say it.越是重要的信息，说的时间要越短。

The Gettysburg Address lasted only about three minutes.林肯总统的葛底斯堡演讲只用了仅仅三分钟。

In other words, the shorter our speech is, the more easily it can be remembered!换句话说，你的演讲越短，就越容易给人留下深刻 印象。Focus on one topic.集中于一个主题。

It is too difficult to follow along to a speech that covers too man thoughts, opinions or ideas.一场包含许多思想、观 点的演讲很难使听众从头至尾地 听完。Choose your words carefully.遣词用字细斟酌。

It's important to remember that your words must be hearable and comprehensible the first time out.记住这一点很重要，你用的词一开口就一定要让人听得见，听得懂。

第四篇：最新少年演讲家国际家庭计划问答

少年演讲家国际家庭计划问答

“少年演讲家国际家庭计划”问答

1、问：为什么要推出“少年演讲家国际家庭计划“这一创新教育模式？

答：“问题是努力的方向”！以下关于孩子培养的“十大教育问题”逼迫我们思考和探索了二十年，渴望找到一个系统解决“十大问题”的综合、终身教育模式：

（1）“再穷不能穷教育，再富不能富孩子”！是否有办法帮助富裕家庭的孩子享受到最优质的教育？

（2）“不是孩子不优秀，而是父母太落后”！忙于事业、缺乏学习的父母，该如何弥补自己在教育方面的不足？

（3）“不是孩子要扮酷，而是孩子太孤独”！

孩子人际关系冷漠、亲子关系逆反怎么办？

（4）“英语知识是学出来的，口语能力是练出来的”！

学校重视知识的传授，欠缺能力的培养，如何突破“聋哑英语”，拓展孩子的国际视野呢？

（5）“好农民不让最矮的庄稼枯萎，好老师不让最差的孩子自卑”！

真正的教育不是以高分论英雄，而是如何发掘孩子的天赋、如何培养孩子的自信、如何帮助孩子做到“天生我才必有用，最后一名也自豪”呢？

（6）“榜样的力量是无穷的”！孩子盲目追星是缺乏信仰、精神空虚的表现，如何引导孩子选择合适的偶像、树立正确的苦乐观和人生信念呢？

（7）我爱网络，我更爱我自己“！如何引导孩子克服网瘾，善用网络，将网络变成自己学习进步的工具呢？

（8）“成才不等于成功”！父母辛辛苦苦把孩子培养到大学毕业，只是成才，离成功还很远，最新少年演讲家国际家庭计划问答。是否有办法把成才和成功融为一体、缩短成才和成功之间的距离呢？

（9）“教育要对孩子的一生负责”！如何为孩子打造一个终身学习和成长的平台呢？

（10）“教育事业的最终目的就是回报社会”！教育一旦以赚钱为目的就会失去她本来的光彩，范文《最新少年演讲家国际家庭计划问答》。是否能找到一套有效的商业模式来实现教育回报社会的最终目的呢？

2、问：“少年演讲家国际家庭计划”的具体内容是什么？

答：“少年演讲家国际家庭计划”就是为了解决以上问题而提出的创新教育模式，主要措施有：

（1）“演讲致胜于未来”——这是李阳老师和欧阳维建老师最擅长的，我们研发的“少年演讲家”系列培训课程，将重塑孩子的自信。

（2）“关系比教育更重要”——把每期的少年演讲家及其父母建设成一个和谐的大家庭，继承中华民族的传统美德，引导形成长期的兄弟姐妹关系，互相帮助，共同成长。

（3）“不追明星，追名师”——根据孩子的天赋和不足，实行导师辅导制，引导孩子选择名师做自己的教父、教母（即教育之父或教育之母）。

（4）“携手天下名师，实现课通天下”——每年举办“名师课博会”，挑选名师的优质课程，开通“名师课博会”的网站，通过面授和网上学习、交流，直接服务于少年演讲家。

（5）“学习英语演讲，提高英语成绩”——李阳老师会亲自带领疯狂的团队精英来完成这一使命。

（6）“父母好好学习，孩子天天向上”——欧阳维建和著名家庭教育专家周弘老师带领的常识教育团队将全力以赴。

（7）“三百六十天天天成长”——专门开通的少年演讲家短信学校，每天都会把教育语录、名言警句、学员学习进步的心得体会等发送给父母和孩子，督促和陪伴父母、孩子的共同进步。

（8）“把学分当股份，把学业当创业”这可是我们的“杀手锏”，迅速缩短孩子成才与成功之间的距离。

第五篇：TED演讲中英对照3

My job is to design, build and study robots that communicate with people.But this story doesn't start with robotics at all, it starts with animation.When I first saw Pixar's “Luxo Jr.,” I was amazed by how much emotion they could put into something as trivial as a desk lamp.I mean, look at them--at the end of this movie, you actually feel something for two pieces of furniture.(Laughter)And I said, I have to learn how to do this.So I made a really bad career decision.And that's what my mom was like when I did it.(Laughter)I left a very cozy tech job in Israel at a nice software company and I moved to New York to study animation.And there I lived in a collapsing apartment building in Harlem with roommates.I'm not using this phrase metaphorically, the ceiling actually collapsed one day in our living room.Whenever they did those news stories about building violations in New York, they would put the report in front of our building.As kind of like a backdrop to show how bad things are.我的工作是设计、构造和研究 那些能够与人交流的机器人。不过这个故事不是从机器人说起，而是要从动画说起。当我第一次看到皮克斯的《顽皮跳跳灯》电影时，我惊呆了，一个如此微不足道的台灯 竟能表现如此多的感情。你看他们啊！电影结尾的时候，你真的开始喜欢上这两件小小的家具了。（笑声）我对自己说，我要学会做这样的东西。所以我做了一个很坏的职业决策，我做出这个决定的时候，我妈妈就是这样的。（笑声）我辞去了在以色列一个软件公司的 一份非常舒服的技术工作，我搬到了纽约 去学习动画。在那，我和我的室友住在 哈莱姆一栋即将坍塌的公寓楼里。我没有夸张，有一天天花板真的塌下来了 就塌在了我们的客厅里。每次报到纽约的违章建筑时，他们都会跑到们的大楼下进行采访。就好像让你看看现场有多糟糕一样。

Anyway, during the day I went to school and at night I would sit and draw frame by frame of pencil animation.And I learned two surprising lessons--one of them was that when you want to arouse emotions, it doesn't matter so much how something looks, it's all in the motion--it's in the timing of how the thing moves.And the second, was something one of our teachers told us.He actually did the weasel in Ice Age.And he said: “As an animator you are not a director, you're an actor.” So, if you want to find the right motion for a character, don't think about it, go use your body to find it--stand in front of a mirror, act it out in front of a camera--whatever you need.And then put it back in your character.言归正传，我上学的日日夜夜，我不停地一幅又一幅地用铅笔画着画。我学到了两个让我惊讶的东西—— 其中一个是： 当你想要唤起某些情感时，外观并不算太重要，关键是动作——物体运动时，对时间的把握。关键是动作——物体运动时，对时间的把握。第二个是我们的一个老师告诉我们的。他正是电影《冰河世纪》的黄鼠狼。他说： ”作为一个动画制作者，你不是一个导演，而是一个演员。“ 所以如果你要为一个角色找到正确的肢体语言，不要想，用你的身体找到它，站在镜子面前，摄像机前，演出来，无论你需要做什么。然后再把这个动作放在你的角色上。

A year later I found myself at MIT in the robotic life group, it was one of the first groups researching the relationships between humans and robots.And I still had this dream to make an actual, physical Luxo Jr.lamp.But I found that robots didn't move at all in this engaging way that I was used to for my animation studies.Instead, they were all--how should I put it, they were all kind of robotic.(Laughter)And I thought, what if I took whatever I learned in animation school, and used that to design my robotic desk lamp.So I went and designed frame by frame to try to make this robot as graceful and engaging as possible.And here when you see the robot interacting with me on a desktop.And I'm actually redesigning the robot so, unbeknownst to itself, it's kind of digging its own grave by helping me.(Laughter)I wanted it to be less of a mechanical structure giving me light, and more of a helpful, kind of quiet apprentice that's always there when you need it and doesn't really interfere.And when, for example, I'm looking for a battery that I can't find, in a subtle way, it will show me where the battery is.So you can see my confusion here.I'm not an actor.And I want you to notice how the same mechanical structure can at one point, just by the way it moves seem gentle and caring--and in the other case, seem violent and confrontational.And it's the same structure, just the motion is different.Actor: “You want to know something? Well, you want to know something? He was already dead!Just laying there, eyes glazed over!”(Laughter)But, moving in graceful ways is just one building block of this whole structure called human-robot interaction.I was at the time doing my Ph.D., I was working on human robot teamwork;teams of humans and robots working together.I was studying the engineering, the psychology, the philosophy of teamwork.And at the same time I found myself in my own kind of teamwork situation with a good friend of mine who is actually here.And in that situation we can easily imagine robots in the near future being there with us.It was after a Passover seder.We were folding up a lot of folding chairs, and I was amazed at how quickly we found our own rhythm.Everybody did their own part.We didn't have to divide our tasks.We didn't have to communicate verbally about this.It all just happened.And I thought, humans and robots don't look at all like this.When humans and robots interact, it's much more like a chess game.The human does a thing, the robot analyzes whatever the human did, then the robot decides what to do next, plans it and does it.And then the human waits, until it's their turn again.So, it's much more like a chess game and that makes sense because chess is great for mathematicians and computer scientists.It's all about information analysis, decision making and planning.一年以后，我去了麻省理工大学（MIT）的 机器人生命小组，这是最早 开始研究人类和机器人关系的小组之一。我依然怀揣着要造一个 真正的、可触碰的顽皮跳跳灯的梦想。但是我发现机器人完全不是 按照我的动画课程中的那种 引人入胜的方式移动。相反的，他们都—— 该怎么说呢？他们都有点儿机械化。（笑声）我就想，如果我可以把我在动画学校学到的东西 应用于设计我的机器人台灯会怎样？ 因此我设计了一幅又一幅，试图让这个机器人 尽量优雅、有吸引力。这里你可以看到这个桌子上的机器人 在跟我互动，我其实是在重新设计这个机器人，而这个机器人完全不知道，它帮我，其实是在自掘坟墓呢。（笑声）比起把他它做成一个照明的机械，比起把他它做成一个照明的机械，我更想要一个能帮忙的、安静的学徒，随时满足你的需求却不打扰你。比如，当我要找一个我怎么也 找不到的电池时，它可以巧妙地提醒我电池在哪里。你看到我的困惑了吗？ 我不是一个演员。我希望你们注意到，同一个机械如何 在前一刻非常温柔、充满关怀，在前一刻非常温柔、充满关怀，下一刻又显得非常暴力，有进攻性。一模一样的结构，改变的仅仅是动作。演员：”你想知道吗？你真的想知道吗？ 他已经死了！他就躺在那里，目光呆滞！“（笑声）但是，以一种优雅的方式移动只是这整个 人类机器人互动结构的一块基石。那时候我正在攻读我的博士学位，我正在研究人类与机器人的团队合作，也就是人类和机器人一起合作。我在学习团队合作的工程学，心理学和哲学。同时，我意识到自己 和我的一个好朋友（他今天也在这里），也碰到了一个团队合作的情境。在那个情境中，我们很容易想象 不久的将来机器人会和我们在一起。那是在一个逾越节家宴结束后，我们要收起大量的折叠椅，我惊讶于我们迅速找到了各自的节奏。每个人都做了自己的那部分，无需分工，无需特意口头沟通。就这样发生了。于是我想，人类和机器人的互动却完全不是这样。当人类和机器人互动的时候，就好像他们在下象棋。人类走一步，机器人对此分析一下，然后机器人决定接下来怎么做，计划好，走下一步。这时候人类就等着，直到轮到他们玩为止。所以，人类和机器人的互动更像下象棋，这很好理解，因为 对数学家和计算机科学家来说，象棋很好，它们都是关于信息分析、决策制定和计划。

But I wanted my robot to be less of a chess player, and more like a doer that just clicks and works together.So I made my second horrible career choice: I decided to study acting for a semester.I took off from a Ph.D.I went to acting classes.I actually participated in a play, I hope theres no video of that around still.And I got every book I could find about acting, including one from the 19th century that I got from the library.And I was really amazed because my name was the second name on the list--the previous name was in 1889.(Laughter)And this book was kind of waiting for 100 years to be rediscovered for robotics.And this book shows actors how to move every muscle in the body to match every kind of emotion that they want to express.但比起象棋玩家，我更希望我的机器人是一个行动者，但比起象棋玩家，我更希望我的机器人是一个行动者，可以和人类有默契地一起工作。于是我做了我人生中的第二个糟糕的职业决策： 我决定学习一学期的表演课程。我放下了我的博士课程，去上了表演课。我还参与了一个戏剧，希望现在已经找不到那个视频了。我找到了每一本关于表演的书，其中包括一本从图书馆里借来的 19世纪的书。我震惊地发现我的名字是借阅者名单上的第二个，之前的一个名字是1889年。（笑声）这本书已经躺了100年了，只为了借机器人之名被重新发现。这本书教演员 如何调动他们身体上的每块肌肉 来表达他们想要表达的情感。

But the real revelation was when I learned about method acting.It became very popular in the 20th century.And method acting said, you don't have to plan every muscle in your body.Instead you have to use your body to find the right movement.You have to use your sense memory to reconstruct the emotions and kind of think with your body to find the right expression.Improvise, play off yor scene partner.And this came at the same time as I was reading about this trend in cognitive psychology called embodied cognition.Which also talks about the same ideas--We use our bodies to think, we don't just think with our brains and use our bodies to move.but our bodies feed back into our brain to generate the way that we behave.And it was like a lightning bolt.I went back to my office.I wrote this paper--which I never really published called “Acting Lessons for Artificial Intelligence.” And I even took another month to do what was then the first theater play with a human and a robot acting together.That's what you saw before with the actors.And I thought: How can we make an artificial intelligence model--computer, computational model--that will model some of these ideas of improvisation, of taking risks, of taking chances, even of making mistakes.Maybe it can make for better robotic teammates.So I worked for quite a long time on these models and I implemented them on a number of robots.Here you can see a very early example with the robots trying to use this embodied artificial intelligence, to try to match my movements as closely as possible, sort of like a game.Let's look at it.You can see when I psych it out, it gets fooled.And it's a little bit like what you might see actors do when they try to mirror each other to find the right synchrony between them.And then, I did another experiment, and I got people off the street to use the robotic desk lamp, and try out this idea of embodied artificial intelligence.So, I actually used two kinds of brains for the same robot.The robot is the same lamp that you saw, and I put in it two brains.For one half of the people, I put in a brain that's kind of the traditional, calculated robotic brain.It waits for its turn, it analyzes everything, it plans.Let's call it the calculated brain.The other got more the stage actor, risk taker brain.Let's call it the adventurous brain.It sometimes acts without knowing everything it has to know.It sometimes makes mistakes and corrects them.And I had them do this very tedious task that took almost 20 minutes and they had to work together.Somehow simulating like a factory job of repetitively doing the same thing.And what I found was that people actually loved the adventurous robot.And they thought it was more intelligent, more committed, a better member of the team, contributed to the success of the team more.They even called it 'he' and 'she,' whereas people with the calculated brain called it 'it.' And nobody ever called it 'he' or 'she'.When they talked about it after the task with the adventurous brain, they said, “By the end, we were good friends and high-fived mentally.” Whatever that means.(Laughter)Sounds painful.Whereas the people with the calculated brain said it was just like a lazy apprentice.It only did what it was supposed to do and nothing more.Which is almost what people expect robots to do, so I was surprised that people had higher expectations of robots, than what anybody in robotics thought robots should be doing.And in a way, I thought, maybe it's time--just like method acting changed the way people thought about acting in the 19th century, from going from the very calculated, planned way of behaving, to a more intuitive, risk-taking, embodied way of behaving.Maybe it's time for robots to have the same kind of revolution.真正让我受到启示的是 方法演技。它在20世纪的时候非常流行。方法演技指出，你不需要安排你的每一块肌肉，相反，你可以用你的身体找到对的动作。你应该运用你的感觉记忆，去重新建构情感，用你的身体找到对的表情。即兴发挥，根据你的场景搭档即兴表演。这个时候我也正读到 认知心理学关于具身认知的东西，这也谈到同样的观点—— 即我们用我们的身体思考，我们并不是用大脑思考用身体表现，而是我们的身体反馈给大脑 并做出相应的动作，这对我好像一道闪电。我马上回了我的办公室。我写了这篇论文，从来也没发表过，叫做《人工智能的表演课》。我甚至花了一个月的时间 去做当时第一部由人类和机器人 一起主演的戏剧。你之前看到的演员和机器人的表演就是这部戏剧。当时我就想： 我们怎样可以做出这样的人工智能模型—— 计算机、计算机模型等等，它们会即兴发挥、会冒险、甚至会犯错。它可能会是更好的机器人队友。因此我花了很多时间去研究这些模型，我还在几个机器人身上做了试验。这里你可以看到一个早期的例子，这个机器人试图运用具身人工智能 来尽量模仿我的动作，就好像一个游戏。我们来看一下。你可以看到我可以糊弄它。有点像你可能看到的演员们 互相模仿对方 只为了找到他们之间的默契。然后，我又做了另外一个实验，我从大街上拉人来使用这个机器人台灯，试验具身人工智能。其实，同样的机器人我用了两个大脑，机器人就是你看到的这个台灯，我给了它两个大脑。对一半的人，我放入了一个传统的、机械计算的大脑。它会等，会分析，会计划，我们暂且称它为“会计算的大脑”。给另一半人则是那个舞台演员、爱冒险的大脑，我们暂且称它为“爱冒险的大脑”，有的时候它在并不知道所有事情的时候行动，有的时候它会犯错然后去纠正。我让他们完成一项无比乏味的任务，这个任务要花近20分钟，他们必须一起合作完成，有点类似在工厂工作，机械地重复一件事情。我发现人们非常喜欢 那个“爱冒险的机器人”。他们觉得它非常聪明，非常忠心，是一个很好的团队成员，一起帮助团队成功。他们甚至称它为“他”和“她”，而另外那些人称那个“会计算的机器人”为“它”，没有人称它为“他”或“她”。任务完成后，那些与“会冒险的大脑”互动的人说： “最后，我们成了好朋友，还在脑内举手击掌了。” 不管那是啥意思……（笑声）听上去很…（口齿不清）然而，那些与“会计算的大脑”互动的人 则说“它就像一个懒徒弟，只做最基本的。“ 这基本上和同人对机器人期待一样，所以我有些惊讶，比起那些机器人研究专家，人们居然对机器人有更高的期望。但从另一个角度，我又想，也许就像方法演技改变了 19世纪人们思考表演的方式一样，是时间改变这种通过精确计算的 行为方式，而转向一种更直觉的、冒险的、用身体表现的行为方式。也许类似的 机器人革命时间到了。A few years later, I was at my next research job at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, and I was working in a group dealing with robotic musicians.And I thought, music, that's the perfect place to look at teamwork, coordination, timing, improvisation--and we just got this robot playing marimba.Marimba, for everybody who was like me, it was this huge, wooden xylophone.And, when I was looking at this, I looked at other works in human-robot improvisation--yes, there are other works in human-robot improvisation--and they were also a little bit like a chess game.The human would play, the robot would analyze what was played, would improvise their own part.So, this is what musicians called a call and response interaction, and it also fits very well, robots and artificial intelligence.But I thought, if I use the same ideas I used in the theater play and in the teamwork studies, maybe I can make the robots jam together like a band.Everybody's riffing off each other, nobody is stopping it for a moment.And so, I tried to do the same things, this time with music, where the robot doesn't really know what it's about to play.It just sort of moves its body and uses opportunities to play, And does what my jazz teacher when I was 17 taught me.She said, when you improvise, sometimes you don't know what you're doing and you're still doing it.And so I tried to make a robot that doesn't actually know what it's doing, but it's still doing it.So let's look at a few seconds from this performance.Where the robot listens to the human musician and improvises.And then, look at how the human musician also responds to what the robot is doing, and picking up from its behavior.And at some point can even be surprised by what the robot came up with.(Music)(Applause)几年后，我在亚特兰大的乔治理工大学做研究，我在一个研究机器人音乐家的 小组工作。我想，音乐是可以很好的 研究团队合作、配合、时间分配和即兴表演的领域，我们有这个玩马林巴的机器人。和我一样对乐器不在行的朋友，马林巴是 一个巨大的木琴。我看着这个，又看了那些其它的人类和机器人的即兴互动，——没错，还有其它人和机器人即兴互动的项目—— 都差不多也是一个个象棋游戏式的互动。人类走一步，机器人对此分析，然后决定下一步。音乐家们称其为 呼叫和应答互动，作为机器人和人工智能，这很合适。但是我想，如果我可以运用 戏剧表演和团队合作中的研究发现，也许我可以让这些机器人 组成一个乐队，每个人都在即兴发挥，没有人需要停下来。于是这次我尝试用音乐做试验，机器人并不知道 它会演奏什么，它就这样移动它的身体，找机会演奏，做着我17岁时候的爵士老师教我的事情。她说，当你即兴表演的时候，有的时候，你并不知道你在做什么，但是你还是继续做。于是我尝试做一个不知道自己在做什么 却仍然继续做的机器人。让我们来看一下这个表演的一个小片段。机器人听人类音乐家演奏 然后即兴发挥。接着，看人类音乐家如何 回应机器人的行为，回应机器人的行为，有时甚至被机器人的表现惊讶。（音乐）（掌声）

Being a musician is not just about making notes, otherwise nobody would ever go see a live show.Musicians also communicate with their bodies, with other band members, with the audience, they use their bodies to express the music.And I thought, we already have a robot musician on stage, why not make it be a full-fledged musician.And I started designing a socially expressive head for the robot.The head does't actually touch the marimba, it just expresses what the music is like.These are some napkin sketches from a bar in Atlanta, that was dangerously located exactly halfway between my lab and my home.(Laughter)So I spent, I would say on average, three to four hours a day there.I think.(Laughter)And I went back to my animation tools and tried to figure out not just what a robotic musician would look like, but especially what a robotic musician would move like.To sort of show that it doesn't like what the other person is playing--and maybe show whatever beat it's feeling at the moment.作为一个音乐家不仅仅是编写音符，否则没有人会去看现场表演了。音乐家也用他们的身体交流，和他们的乐队成员，和观众，他们用他们的身体来表现音乐。于是我想，我们已经有一个在舞台上的机器人音乐家，为什么不把它打造成一个真正的音乐家呢？ 于是我开始为机器人设计一个 可以表现情感的头部。头部并不会碰到马林巴，它只是用来表现音乐是什么样的。这草图的纸巾来自亚特兰大某处一个酒吧，而且酒吧就正好在实验室和我家的正中间。（笑声）而且酒吧就正好在实验室和我家的正中间。（笑声）我大概平均 每天有3到4个小时的时间在那里，“大概”…（笑声）我重新拾起了我的动画工具，试图想象 不仅仅一个机器人音乐家的样子，特别是一个机器人音乐家会如何移动它的身体，来告诉人们它不喜欢其他人的演奏，还有它自己当下感觉到的节奏。还有它自己当下感觉到的节奏。

So we ended up actually getting the money to build this robot, which was nice.I'm going to show you now the same kind of performance, this time with a socially expressive head.And notice one thing--how the robot is really showing us the beat it's picking up from the human.We're also giving the human a sense that the robot knows what it's doing.And also how it changes the way it moves as soon as it starts its own solo.(Music)Now it's looking at me to make sure I'm listening.(Music)And now look at the final chord of the piece again, and this time the robot communicates with its body when it's busy doing its own thing.And when it's ready to coordinate the final chord with me.(Music)(Applause)幸运的是，我们最终还获得了一笔 造这样一个机器人的资金。接下来我给大家看一下同样的表演 换成一个情感表现头的效果。注意一点： 请观察这个机器人如何 根据人类的演奏即兴发挥，也让人类知道，这个机器人知道它在做什么。还有独奏开始时，它是如何做出回应的。还有独奏开始时，它是如何做出回应的。（音乐）这会儿它正看着我确保我在听。（音乐）我们再看一下这段的最后一部分，现在机器人正在用它的身体进行沟通，当它正忙于做它自己的事情时，忙于准备 跟我一起演奏最后的旋律。（音乐）（掌声）

Thanks.I hope you see how much this totally not--how much this part of the body that doesn't touch the instrument actually helps with the musical performance.And at some point, we are in Atlanta, so obviously some rapper will come into our lab at some point.And we had this rapper come in and do a little jam with the robot.And here you can see the robot basically responding to the beat and--notice two things.One, how irresistible it is to join the robot while it's moving its head.and you kind of want to move your own head when it does it.And second, even though the rapper is really focused on his iPhone, as soon as the robot turns to him, he turns back.So even though it's just in the periphery of his vision--it's just in the corner of his eye--it's very powerful.And the reason is that we can't ignore physical things moving in our environment.We are wired for that.So, if you have a problem with maybe your partners looking at the iPhone too much or their smartphone too much, you might want to have a robot there to get their attention.(Laughter)(Music)(Applause)谢谢。我希望你能看到 它的头部不碰到乐器 其实有助于音乐表演！既然我们在亚特兰大，就不会没有说唱歌手参与到我们的试验中来。既然我们在亚特兰大，就不会没有说唱歌手参与到我们的试验中来。这个说唱歌手来了之后，我们让他和这个机器人一起表演。这里你可以看到这个机器人 对节奏的回应，请注意两点。第一，当这个机器人在摇头晃脑的时候，你是不是也很想加入其中，和它一起晃动你的头部？ 第二，虽然这个说唱歌手非常专注于它的苹果手机，当机器人转向它的时候，他也马上转回来。虽然仅仅是在他的视线边缘—— 他的眼角的余光里，它仍然非常强大。这就是为什么我们不能忽视 我们周边物体的移动。我们天生会这样做。所以，如果你的搭档 很喜欢看它的苹果手机或智能手机，也许你需要一个机器人 来获得他们的注意力。（笑声）（音乐）（掌声）

Just to introduce the last robot that we've worked on, that came out of something kind of surprising that we found: At some point people didn't care anymore about the robot being so intelligent, and can improvise and listen, and do all these embodied intelligence things that I spent years on developing.They really liked that the robot was enjoying the music.(Laughter)And they didn't say that the robot was moving to the music, they said that the robot was enjoying the music.And we thought, why don't we take this idea, and I designed a new piece of furniture.This time it wasn't a desk lamp;it was a speaker dock.It was one of those things you plug your smartphone in.And I thought, what would happen if your speaker dock didn't just play the music for you, but it would actually enjoy it too.(Laughter)And so again, here are some animation tests from an early stage.(Laughter)And this is what the final product looked like.(“Drop It Like It's Hot”)So, a lot of bobbing head.(Applause)A lot of bobbing heads in the audience, so we can still see robots influence people.And it's not just fun and games.最后再为大家介绍一下 我们最近在打造的一个机器人。说来也奇怪，我们发现 到了某个阶段，人们不再对那些聪明的、会即兴表演、会聆听、会做那些我花了多年研究的身体智能表演的 机器人感兴趣了。他们真的很喜欢那个会享受音乐的机器人。（笑声）他们没有说这个机器人是随着音乐扭动身体，而是说这个机器人在享受音乐。于是我们想，为什么不借用这个想法呢，因此我设计了一件新的小家具。这次不是一个台灯，而是一个扬声器底座，就是你可以把你的智能手机放上去的那种。于是我想，如果这个扬声器底座 不仅可以为你放音乐，还可以享受音乐，会怎样？（笑声）这是早期的一些动画尝试。这是早期的一些动画尝试。这是最终的成品的样子。饶舌音乐 不停的点头……（掌声）观众那里也有很多人在不停点头，因此我们可以看到机器人可以影响人。当然这一切不仅仅只是娱乐和游戏。

I think one of the reasons I care so much about robots that use their body to communicate and use their body to move--and I'm going to let you in on a little secret we roboticists are hiding--is that every one of you is going to be living with a robot at some point in their life.Somewhere in your future there's going to be a robot in your life.And if not in yours, then in your children's lives.And I want these robots to be--to be more fluent, more engaging, more graceful than currently they seem to be.And for that I think that maybe robots need to be less like chess players and more like stage actors and more like musicians.Maybe they should be able to take chances and improvise.And maybe they should be able to anticipate what you're about to do.And maybe they need to be able to make mistakes and correct them, because in the end we are human.And maybe as humans, robots that are a little less than perfect are just perfect for us.Thank you.(Applause)我觉得自己非常热衷研究 那些可以用身体沟通、用身体移动的机器人的一个原因是—— 我告诉你一个只有我们机器人专家知道的秘密—— 我们每一个人在生命的某个阶段 都会需要机器人，你未来的某个阶段会有个机器人。如果不是你的未来，那么你的孩子的未来。我希望这些机器人 比现在 可以更流畅、更吸引人、更优雅。比现在 可以更流畅、更吸引人、更优雅。因此，我觉得机器人 不应该是像一个象棋玩家，而应该更像一个舞台演员或者音乐家。它们应该可以冒险，会即兴表演，甚至会预料到你接下来会做什么。它们也应该可以犯错 并且改正，因为到头来，我们只是人类。也许对人类而言，不完美的机器人 才是完美的。谢谢！
