《怀揣感恩之心、共迎新运明天》

陈小庆

今天我为大家带来一分钟英语演讲，我的题目是:怀揣感恩之心、共迎新运明天。7年前，还一脸书生气的我，背着行囊，载着希望，怀着鱼游大海之志，抱着美丽憧憬之梦，来到中铁一局。晃然间，我已不是当初那个懵懂的少女。在浓厚企业文化的熏陶下，使我深深的感受到了新运公司这个大家庭的关心关爱，热情和激-情。当初载着我梦想、载着我希望的那个行囊已被新运公司这个大家庭所取代。而我的那个行囊则填充满了家人给予的感恩的心、共进的誓，誓于新运共进退的誓言。“欣赏和尊重、责任和极致、激-情和精进、完善和成长”。有人说：“欣赏是一门艺术，欣赏是一种修养和美德，是尊重他人的风度。”这不正是对我们公司厚德待人的完美诠释吗?领导尊重欣赏下属，赏罚必严，同事间相互欣赏和尊重，诚恳相待。

My Favorite Color 我最喜欢的颜色

Blue has always been my favorite color, and I think it will always continue to be so.I have several reasons for liking this color best.First, it is a very soothing color and makes people happy.How do people feel when they wake up to day when the sky is a dirty grey? Sad and gloomy.But when the sky is a deep blue, good cheer and joy enters our hearts.Another reason why I am most partial to blue is that it is the color of oceans and rivers and lakes on a sunny day.Whenever I go swimming, I feel as though I were reborn.In my estimation, blue is a very refined a noble color.I have several suits of clothes of different colors, but somehow blue seems to be most becoming to me.At the same time, all my friends say that I tend to look slim and taller whenever I’m dressed in blue.I have also heard that in English, the term “true blue” means to be faithful.As I have a great respect for the quality of faithfulness, this is one more reason for my liking blue so much.蓝色一直是我最喜欢的颜色，而且我认为一直都会是这样。

我有几个最喜欢这种颜色的理由。第一，它是一种使人平和、快乐的颜色。当人们睡醒时，看到一个灰暗的天空，他们会感觉如何？沮丧忧郁。但是当天空是深蓝色时，喜悦和快乐就进入我们心中。

我偏爱蓝色的另一个理由，是因为它是海洋、河流、湖泊在晴朗日子时的颜色。每当我去游泳，我觉得我好像重生了。

我认为，蓝色是一种优雅、高贵的颜色，我有几套不同颜色的衣服，但是不知怎么，蓝色似乎是适合我。同时，我的朋友都说，每当我穿蓝色的衣服时，似乎看起来更修长、更高佻。我也听说过英文里有个名词，“不褪色的蓝”，意思是忠实的，因为我很崇尚忠实这种品德，这又是我这么喜欢蓝色的另一个理由了。

gloomy a.忧郁的partial a.偏爱的refined a.优雅的becoming a.合适的The Generation Gap 论代沟

I remember that when I was in my teens, I used to rebel at many of the “do’s” and “don’ts” my parents used to dictate to me.For example, when I kept on playing jazz records on the record player, my father used to condemn such music as sheer noise and replace them with disks of classical music that I always considered extremely dull.My mom and dad were also very particular about the friends I went out with, always quoting the maxim the “one rotten apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples.” When I insisted that I sleep with my pet dog Peppy, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas.These are just a few examples of many of the things that I thought my parents were unreasonable about.Today, however, I am also the father of a boy of fifteen, and I find that I, too, am pressuring my son with a lot of rules and regulations that he seems to find hard to swallow.The other day, I noticed that my son’s hair was altogether too long, so I told him to go to the barber’s and get it trimmed short.Ordinarily, he is fairly obedient, but this time he put his foot down.“What’s wrong with long hair?” he said.“All my buddies have long hair.And besides, it’s my own hair, isn’t it? I don’t think you have the authority to order me to cut it short, even if you’re my father!”

When I was a boy, if I had spoken with such impertinence to my father, I know that he would have given me a good thrashing.But I suddenly realized that we are now living in a more liberal world, and that my son’s insistence on wearing his hair long was merely an instance of the generation gap that existed between us.So I relented, and so he still wears his hair long.论代沟

记得我十几岁时，我总是反抗父母指定我做及不要我做的许多事。例如，当我用唱机听爵士唱片时，父亲总指责这种音乐只是噪音，而换上我一直认为是最沉闷的古典音乐唱片。我爸爸妈妈对和我一起出去的朋友也很挑剔，并常引用格言说：“一颗老鼠屎坏了一锅粥。”当我坚持要和我的小狗佩比一起睡，他们马上说“不行”，因为他们认为我会被跳蚤给咬了。这些只是我认为父母许多不合理的事中的一个例子。然而，今天我也是个十五岁小孩的父亲。我发现自己也用一大堆我儿子似乎觉得难以忍受的规定来压迫他。前几天，我注意到我儿子的头发实在太长了，所以便叫他到理发店去修短。平常他是很听话的，但这次他坚持。“长头发有什么不对？”他说，“我所有的朋友都留长头发，况且，这是我自己的头发，不是吗？我认为你没权力命令我把它剪短，即使你是我父亲。”

小时候，如果我对父亲讲话这么无礼，我知道会招来一顿好打。但是我突然了解到我们现在是生活在一个更自由的世界。我儿子坚持留长发，只是存在于我们之间的代沟的一例。因此我态度变温和了，也因此他现在还留着长发。

The Person I Admire Most 我最敬佩的人 There are quite a few people that I admire greatly, but the one that comes first on my list is Abraham Lincoln, the great American emancipator.Although he was born poor, he worked hard and honestly, and eventually became President of the

A part from the many fine qualities that Lincoln had, I admire him most because he dared to do what he thought was right at a time when his beliefs were very unpopular with many people.He also had infinite patience and tolerance for those who disagreed with him, and bore their discourtesy toward him with admirable restraint.He also had the manliness to forgive his opponents.When the Civil War ended, he treated his erstwhile enemies with great generosity.The words which are carved on the walls of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.were taken from his famous Second Inaugural Address and begin with he phrases which I shall never forget: “With malice toward none, with charity for all…”

我最敬佩的人

我敬佩的人有很多，但是我表上列的第一个是亚伯拉罕.林肯，美国伟大的解放者。虽然他生下来就很穷，他努力、诚实地工作，终于成为美国总统。

除去林肯的许多优良品德不谈，他最令我钦佩的原因是，只要他认为是对的，即使他的信念还未普遍为人接受，他就敢去做。他对那些不赞同他的人，有着无比的耐心和宽容，克制自己忍受他们对他的无礼，令人敬佩。他也有男性气概原谅他的反对者。内战结束后，他对待以前的敌人无比宽大。刻在华盛顿特区林肯纪念堂上的几句话，是从他著名的第二次就职演说是摘录出来的。开头的几句话，我永远不会忘记：“不要对任何人怀有恶意，要博爱世人……。”

emancipator n.解放者

discourtesy n.无礼貌

restraint n.（感情之）抑制

manliness n.男子气概

opponent n.对手；反对者

erstwhile a.以前的inaugural a.就职的Environmental Protection 环境保护

I was born in the countryside near Kaohsiung and I came up to Taipei when I was still a lad of twelve.Seven years have elapsed since then, and just recently, I returned to my home town for the very first time since I had left it.Would you like to know just how I felt when I set eyes again on the place that I had always remembered as being a real Shangrila? The image that I had so carefully cherished was dashed to the winds.Instead, I was struck by the sharp realization that civilization and modern industry were destroying our world.The beautiful hills that were formerly covered with trees were now bald.All the trees must have been chopped down for lumber that went into the building of cheap apartment houses that were now ubiquitous all over the town.The crystal-clear river where I had enjoyed fishing and swimming when I was a lad was now a filthy ditch into which chemical factories were dumpling all their

I could go on describing the horrible changes that my hometown had undergone, but time is limited.So I wish to say in conclusion that the time has come for the introduction of strict measures to protect our environment.环境保护

我出生于高雄附近的乡下，当我才十二岁时，就搬来台北。七年过去了，就在最近，我回到睽违已久的家乡。你想知道，当我看到这个我总记得是真正香格里拉的地方时，内心的感受吗？我小心珍爱的形象都在风中破灭了。代之而起的是，我痛心地了解到文明和现代工业正在毁灭我们的世界。

原本覆盖着树木的美丽山丘现在已经秃了。所有的树木一定被砍下作为木材，来建筑镇上到处都是的便宜公寓。那条我少年时候喜欢钓鱼和游泳、水晶般清澈的河流，现在变成化学工厂倾倒垃圾的臭水沟。

我可以继续不断地描述我故乡遭受的可怕改变，但时间有限。所以最后我想说的就是，用严厉措施来保护环境的时候已经到了。

civilization n.文明

Small Kindness平凡的善行

Small kindnesses are those simple deeds of goodness that we perform in our daily life, not merely to our friends and kin, but also to complete strangers, not for the sake of receiving some remuneration in return, but sheerly out of a spirit of generosity and unselfish consideration for the welfare of others.When we read the daily newspapers, we are frequently apprised of the Big Kindnesses performed by well-to-do philanthropists who donate large sums of money for the establishment of schools, libraries, free hospitals for the poor, orphanages, and the like.These, of course, are laudable acts of charity that deserve wide public acclaim.But in my estimation, those many minor acts of kindness performed daily ion assorted situations by public-minded citizens who receive no recognition or plaudits from the mass media are equally commendable.I think that in the eyes of the Almighty, the good-hearted white-collar worker who gives up his seat on a crowded commuter train to someone frail, aged or crippled, even though he himself is extremely tried after his day’s work, is just as deserving of praise, or maybe even more so, than the billionaire philanthropist who has given away a million dollars for the establishment of a

new old people’s home.In the large cities of any country, where the general tendency of the people is “to look out only for one’s own interests”, the atmosphere is cold and miserable for those unable to keep up with the rapid pace of competition.Let us all try remedy the situation by launching a personal campaign to perform a small kindness each day, no matter how inconsequential it may seem, so that our society will be a much better place to live in.平凡的善行

平凡的善行就是一些我们在日常生活当中所做的、简单的好事。不只对我们的亲友，结全然陌生的人也一样；不是为了报酬，完全是出自一种为他人福祉的慷慨、无私的精神。

我们每天看报，常得知富有的慈善家所作“伟大的善行”。他们捐很多的钱盖学校、图书馆、免费为穷人看病的医院、孤儿院等等。当然这 值得民众赞美的慈善行为。但我认为，那些没受到大众传播媒介褒奖或赞扬、具有服务大众热忱的市民所作较小的善行，一样值得赞赏。我认为在上帝眼中，一个好心的白领阶级，即使在工作一天后极度疲惫，在挤满通勤者的火车上让位给老弱或残障者，也一样值得赞美，甚至比那些捐一百万元建造一座新的老人院的亿万慈善家更值得表扬。

在任何国家的大城市，居民的共同倾向就是“自扫门前雪”。对于那些无法赶上这种快速竞争步调的人，气氛是冷默无情的。让我们发起个人运动，试着来修正这促情形。无论事情多么微不足道，每天是行一善，那么我们的社会将会更适于居住。

remuneration n.报酬

apprais v.报告，通知

philanthropist n.慈善家

orphanage n.孤儿院

laudable a.值得赞美的acclaim n.称赞，喝采

plaudit n.赞扬

commendable a.值得称赞的commuter n.通勤者

crippled a.残废的atmosphere n.气氛

inconsequential a.不重要的

I still remember the Tatinic.Though it's a big ship , it still sunk.So ,in my opinion ,the best ship is the friendship.Everyone needs friends because there are a lot of things that you can't deal with yourself, and the friends just make up for it.friendship just likes the sun ,it can make you fell warm though in the cold winter.friendship just likes the water in the desert ,it can make you fell that in the world.There still has hope.In a word ,the friendship is the same meaning as the greatness ,selfness and devotion.To make friends ,adding a friend equals adding a way ,open your heart ,devote yourself, let friendship make your world colourful.

第四篇：一分钟英语演讲TED

我知道你们在想什么，你们觉得我迷路了，马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带回我的座位上。（掌声）。我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。“来这里度假的吗，亲爱的？”（笑声）“来探望孩子的吗？这次要待多久呢？

恩，事实上，我希望能再待久一点。我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。（掌声）这段时间里，我看到了很多变化。现在这份数据是挺吓人的，而我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的朋友，她在阿布达比教成人英语。在一个晴朗的日子里，她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。但最后却变成是她在学习所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些植物是如何被用作药材，化妆品，烹饪，香草。这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢？当然是从他们的祖父母，甚至曾祖父母那里得来的。不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。

but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate.a language dies every 14 days.now, at the same time, english is the undisputed global language.could there be a connection? well i dont know.but i do know that ive seen a lot of changes.when i first came out to the gulf, i came to kuwait in the days when it was still a hardship post.actually, not that long ago.that is a little bit too early.but nevertheless, i was recruited by the british council along with about 25 other teachers.and we were the first non-muslims to teach in the state schools there in kuwait.we were brought to teach english because the government wanted to modernize the country and empower the citizens through education.and of course, the u.k.benefited from some of that lovely oil wealth.但遗憾的是，今天很多语言正在以前所未有的速度消失。每14天就有一种语言消失，而与此同时，英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。这其中有关联吗？我不知道。但我知道的是，我见证过许多改变。初次来到海湾地区时，我去了科威特。当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。其实，没有那么久啦，这有点太久以前了。总之，我和其他25位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师，在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语，是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然，英国也能得到些好处，产油国可是很有钱的。okay.now this is the major change that ive seen--how teaching english has morphed from being a mutually english-speaking nation on earth.and why not? after all, the best education--according to the latest world university rankings--is to be found in the universities of the u.k.and the u.s.so everybody wants to have an english education, naturally.but if youre not a native speaker, you have to pass a test.言归正传，我见过最大的改变，就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科，也不再只是英国的专利。英语（教学）已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。何乐而不为呢？毕竟，最好的教育来自于最好的大学，而根据最新的世界大学排名，那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育，但如果你不是以英文为母语，你就要通过考试。now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability well, i dont think so.we english teachers reject them all the time.we put a stop sign, and we stop them in their tracks.they cant pursue their dream any longer, till they get english.now let me put it this way, if i met a dutch speaker who had the cure for cancer, would i stop him from entering my british university? i dont think so.but indeed, that is exactly what we do.we english teachers are the gatekeepers.and you have to satisfy us first that your english is good enough.now it can be dangerous to give too much power to a narrow segment of society.maybe the barrier would be too universal.但仅凭语言能力就拒绝学生这样对吗？譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学家，但他会需要有和律师一样的语言能力吗？我不这么认为。但身为英语老师的我们，却总是拒绝他们。我们处处设限，将学生挡在路上，使他们无法再追求自己的梦想，直到他们通过考试。现在容我换一个方式说，如果我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人，而这个人能治愈癌症，我会阻止他进入我的英国大学吗？我想不会。但事实上，我们的确在做这种事。我们这些英语老师就是把关的。你必须先让我们满意，使我们认定你的英文够好。但这可能是危险的。把太多的权力交由这么小的一群人把持，也许会令这种障碍太过普及。

okay.but, i hear you say, what about the research? its all in english.so the books are in english, the journals are done in english, but that is a self-fulfilling.it feeds the english requirement.and so it goes on.i ask you, what happened to translation? if you think about the islamic 于是，我听到你们问但是研究呢?研究报告都要用英文。”的确，研究论著和期刊都要用英文发表，但这只是一种理所当然的现象。有英语要求，自然就有英语供给，然后就这么循环下去。我倒想问问大家，为什么不用翻译呢？想想伊斯兰的黄金时代，当时翻译盛行，人们把拉丁文和希腊文翻译成阿拉伯文或波斯文，然后再由拉伯文或波斯文翻译为欧洲的日耳曼语言以及罗曼语言。于是文明照亮了欧洲的黑暗时代。但不要误会我的意思，我不是反对英语教学或是在座所有的英语老师。我很高兴我们有一个全球性的语言，这在今日尤为重要。但我反对用英语设立障碍。难道我们真希望世界上只剩下600种语言，其中又以英文或中文为主流吗？我们需要的不只如此。那么我们该如何拿捏呢？这个体制把智能和英语能力画上等号这是相当武断的。

and i want to remind you that the giants upon whose shoulders todays stand did not have to have english, they didnt have to pass an english test.case in point, einstein.he, by the way, was considered remedial at school because he was, in fact, dyslexic.but fortunately for the world, he did not have to pass an english test.because they didnt start until 1964 with toefl, the american test of english.now its exploded.there are lots and lots of tests of english.and millions and millions of students take these tests every year.now you might think, you and me, those fees arent bad, theyre okay, but they are prohibitive to so many millions of poor people.so immediately, were rejecting them.我想要提醒你们，扶持当代知识分子的这些“巨人肩膀不必非得具有英文能力，他们不需要通过英语考试。爱因斯坦就是典型的例子。顺便说一下，他在学校还曾被认为需要课外补习，因为他其实有阅读障碍。但对整个世界来说,很幸运的当时他不需要通过英语考试，因为他们直到1964年才开始使用托福。现在英语测验太泛滥了，有太多太多的英语测验，以及成千上万的学生每年都在参加这些考试。现在你会认为，你和我都这么想，这些费用不贵，价钱满合理的。但是对数百万的穷人来说，这些费用高不可攀。所以，当下我们又拒绝了他们。it brings to mind a headline i saw recently: education: the great divide.now i get it, i understand why people would focus on english.they want to give their children the best chance in life.and to do that, they need a western education.because, of course, the best jobs go to people out of the western universities, that i put on earlier.its a circular thing.这使我想起最近看到的一个新闻标题：“教育：大鸿沟”现在我懂了。我了解为什么大家都重视英语，因为他们希望给孩子最好的人生机会。为了达成这目的，他们需要西方教育。毕竟，不可否认，最好的工作都留给那些西方大学毕业出来的人。就像我之前说的，这是一种循环。

okay.let me tell you a story about two scientists, two english scientists.they were doing an experiment to do with genetics and the forelimbs and the hind limbs of animals.but they couldnt get the results they wanted.they really didnt know what to do, until along came a german scientist who realized that they were using two words for forelimb and hind limb, whereas genetics does not differentiate and neither does german.so bingo, problem solved.if you cant think a thought, you are stuck.but if another language can think that thought, then, by cooperating, we can achieve and learn so much more.好，我跟你们说一个关于两位科学家的故事：有两位英国科学家在做一项实验，是关于遗传学的，以及动物的前、后肢。但他们无法得到他们想要的结果。他们真的不知道该怎么办，直到来了一位德国的科学家。他发现在英文里前肢和后肢是不同的二个字，但在遗传学上没有区别。在德语也是同一个字。所以，叮！问题解决了。如果你不能想到一个念头，你会卡在那里。但如果另一个语言能想到那念头，然后通过合作我们可以达成目的，也学到更多。

我的女儿从科威特来到英格兰，她在阿拉伯的学校学习科学和数学。那是所阿拉伯中学。在学校里，她得把这些知识翻译成英文，而她在班上却能在这些学科上拿到最好的成绩。这告诉我们，当外籍学生来找我们，我们可能无法针对他们所知道的给予赞赏，因为那是来自于他们母语的知识。当一个语言消失时，我们不知道还有什么也会一并失去。

this is--i dont know if you saw it on cnn recently--they gave the heroes award to a young kenyan shepherd boy who couldnt study at night in his village like all the village children,篇二：杨澜ted演讲稿中英文 yang lan: the generation thats remaking china the night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final of chinas 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, im going to scotland the next day.she sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in chinese.[chinese]so its 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 didnt 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--its 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 didnt 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.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 beijings bidding for the olympic games.i was representing the shanghai expo.i saw china embracing the world and vice versa.but then sometimes im thinking, what are todays 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 making a living is not that easy for young people.college graduates are not in short supply.in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.so what do they do? they have to share space--squeezed in very limited space to save money--and they call themselves tribe of ants.and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.that ratio in americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china its 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.so through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.for the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.and it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation.sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.so when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.so the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the internet.we heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.and guess what, we have faked beef.they have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.and then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.so all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the internet.and fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.while young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes theyre 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--thats 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.theyre not rich at all.theyre taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.and this is a girl explicitly saying on a tv dating show that she would rather cry in a bmw than smile on a bicycle.but of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a bmw or [on] a bicycle.so 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, its about the environment.people are thinking about the following questions: are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher gdp? how are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? and also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?i guess these are the questions people are going to answer.and our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.thank you very much.杨澜ted演讲：重塑中国的一代 中文演讲稿

在来爱尔兰的前一晚，我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。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。

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。

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。

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三千万。

几年后，我决定去美国哥伦比亚大学进修。之后我有了自己的传媒公司，这是在我刚毕业的时候想都不敢想的。

我和我的团队做了很多事情。在过去的这些年，我采访了上千人。有时候有年轻人走过来对我说：“杨澜，你改变了我的生活。”我也为此而自豪。
