第一篇：麦凯恩演讲节选 中英对照

Thank you.Thank you, my friends.Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening.感谢各位！我们的朋友们，感谢你们！感谢你们在亚利桑那这个美好的夜晚来到这里！

My friends, we have--we have come to the end of a long journey.The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him, please, to congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.我的朋友们，我们已经——已经来到一段漫长旅程的尽头。美国人民已经说话，他们已经说得再清楚不过了。刚刚，我很荣幸地给巴拉克•奥巴马（Barack Obama）参议员打电话，祝贺他——请不要这样——祝贺他当选为我们所热爱的国家的新一任总统。

In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance.But that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend him for achieving.在这场持久、艰难的竞选活动中，唯独他的胜利令我不得不对他的能力和毅力心生敬意。然而，他的成功竟是借着给成千上万曾误以为自己在有争议时并没有多少话语权，对美国总统选举的影响微不足道的美国民众以希望，这使我深深地钦佩——我赞赏他的成就。

This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight.这是个历史性的选举，我能感受它对非洲裔美国人所具有的特殊的意义并今晚为他们所带来的特殊的自豪。

I've always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it.Senator Obama believes that, too.But we both recognize that though we have come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation's reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of American citizenship, the memory of them still had the power to wound.我始终相信，美国向所有殷勤且决心捕捉机会的人提供机会。这一点，奥巴马参议员也是认同的。但我们都承认，尽管相比从前有损国家名誉、剥夺一些美国人作为美国公民应享有的完满福分的不公，我们已经有了很大的改善和进步，然而回忆这些往事依然会叫人伤痛。

A century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt's invitation of Booker T.Washington to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage in many quarters.America today is a world away from the cruel and frightful bigotry of that time.There is no better evidence of this than the election of an African-American to the presidency of the United States.Let there be no reason now--let there be no reason now for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on Earth.一个世纪前，西奥多•罗斯福（Theodore Roosevelt）总统邀请非洲裔美国教育家布克•华盛顿（Booker T.Washington）赴白宫共进晚餐，激怒了许多地区的民众。如今，一位非洲裔美国人当选美国总统，再没有什么比这个更能证明今日的美国已是远离过去残忍、可怕的偏执的世界。但愿不再有美国人有什么理由——有什么理由不珍惜他们在这个——这个地球上最伟大的国家所拥有的公民身份。

Senator Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and for his country.I applaud him for it, and offer him my sincere sympathy that his beloved grandmother did not live to see this day, though our faith assures us she is at rest in the presence of her creator and so very proud of the good man she helped raise.奥巴马参议员为他自己、为他国家成就了一件大事，我为此恭喜他。同时，我也为他敬爱的外祖母未能活着看到这一天，而向他表示我真挚的同情，尽管我们的信仰使我们确信她现今正安息在她造物主的同在里，且为她抚养长大的这位成功人士而感到自豪。

Senator Obama and I have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed.No doubt many of those differences remain.These are difficult times for our country, and I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face.奥巴马参议员与我曾就我们之间的分歧进行争论，现在他胜利了。无疑，那些分歧许多都还存在。我们国家正处在困难时期。今晚，我郑重地向他承诺：我一定会尽全力帮助他领导我们迎接所面临的种种挑战。

I urge all Americans--I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together, to find the necessary compromises, to bridge our differences, and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.我力促所有美国人——我力促所有支持过我的美国人，同我一道，不仅祝贺他，而且提供新一任总统我们良好的心意和不懈的努力，以寻找使大家来在一起，达成必要的妥协，弥合双方分歧的途径，以帮助他恢复我们的繁荣，在这个危险的世界保卫我们的安全，给我们的子孙留下一个比我们所承受的更为强大、美好的国家。

Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans.And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that.无论存在什么分歧，我们都是美国人。请相信我所说的：对我而言，任何的交往都没有比这个事实更为重要。

It is natural--it's natural tonight to feel some disappointment, but tomorrow we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.今晚，大家难免会感到一些沮丧，这是正常的，是正常的。只是明天，我们必须摆脱这种情绪，而齐心协力使我们的国家继续前进。

We fought--we fought as hard as we could.And though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours.我们努力了——我们尽了我们最大的努力。虽然我们的目标没有实现，但失败的是我，不是你们。

I am so--I am so deeply grateful to all of you for the great honor of your support and for all you have done for me.I wish the outcome had been different, my friends.The road was a difficult one from the outset.But your support and friendship never wavered.I cannot adequately express how deeply indebted I am to you.能得到你们的支持，是我莫大的荣幸。为此，也为你们对我所做的一切，我真的——我真的向你们所有人深表感激。我的朋友们，我也希望结果不是这样的。这条路从一开始就充满艰辛，但你们的支持与友爱从来没有摇摆过。我真的无法充分地表达自己对你们的感激之情。

I'm especially grateful to my wife, Cindy, my children, my dear mother--my dear mother and all my family and to the many old and dear friends who have stood by my side through the many ups and downs of this long campaign.I have always been a fortunate man, and never more so for the love and encouragement you have given me.You know, campaigns are often harder on a candidate's family than on the candidate, and that's been true in this campaign.All I can offer in compensation is my love and gratitude and the promise of more peaceful years ahead.我特别感激我的妻子辛迪（Cindy）、我的孩子们、我亲爱的母亲——我亲爱的母亲同我所有的家人，感激那些在这场漫长的竞选中站在我的身旁一同经历坎坷的亲爱的老朋友们。我一直都是一个幸运的人，但迄今绝对没有任何一件事可以像你们给予我的关怀和鼓励那样让我感到幸运。大家知道，竞选对候选人的家人来说，往往比对候选人自己更为艰难；这次的竞选也是如此。我所能补偿的，就是我的爱、我的感激以及今后更为平静安宁生活的允诺。

I am also--I am also, of course, very thankful to Governor Sarah Palin, one of the best campaigners I have ever seen.One of the best campaigners I have ever seen--and an impressive new voice in our party for reform and the principles that have always been our greatest strength.Her husband Todd and their five beautiful children--with their tireless dedication to our cause, and the courage and grace they showed in the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign.We can all look forward with great interest to her future service to Alaska, the Republican Party and our country.当然，我也非常——我也非常感谢莎拉•佩林（Sarah Palin）州长。她是我见过的最好的竞选搭档之一——我见过的最好的竞选搭档之一，她在我们党内再次发出坚持改革和维护那些赋予我们强大力量的原则的令人难忘的声音。还有，她的丈夫托德（Todd）和他们五个美丽的孩子，他们一直积极地投身于我们的事业，在这次总统竞选的“混战”中显示了他们的勇气和风度。我们所有人都关注并期待她将来服务阿拉斯加州，服务共和党，服务我们的国家。

To all my campaign comrades, from Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter, to every last volunteer who fought so hard and valiantly month after month in what at times seemed to be the most challenged campaign in modern times, thank you so much.A lost election will never mean more to me than the privilege of your faith and friendship.向所有我的竞选伙伴，从瑞克•戴维斯（Rick Davis）、斯蒂夫•施密特（Steve Schmidt）、马克•索尔特（Mark Salter），到这数月间在每逢看似最艰难的时刻依旧英勇奋斗的各位志愿者，我要说谢谢你们。对我而言，和能赢得你们的信任同友谊这种殊荣相比，一次失败的竞选根本算不得什么。

I don't know--I don't know what more we could have done to try to win this election.I'll leave that to others to determine.Every candidate makes mistakes, and I'm sure I made my share of them.But I won't spend a moment of the future regretting what might have been.我不知道——我不知道我们还要再做什么，才能赢得这场选举。我想，还是把这个问题留给其他人去思考吧。每位候选人都会犯错，我能肯定我也犯了，但日后我不会花时间去为那些本有可能发生的事情惋惜。

This campaign was and will remain the great honor of my life.And my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude for the experience and to the American people for giving me a fair hearing before deciding that Senator Obama and my old friend Senator Joe Biden should have the honor of leading us for the next four years.这次竞选过去是，将来也定是我一生中莫大的荣幸。我的心中没有别的，只有感激，感激你们给予我这次经历，感激美国人民在决定由奥巴马参议员和我的故友乔•拜登（Joe Biden）参议员来领导美国的下一个四年之前，公正地给了我发言的机会。

Please.Please.（请不要这样，请不要这样。）

I would not--I would not be--an American worthy of the name should I regret a fate that has allowed me the extraordinary privilege of serving this country for a half a century.Today, I was a candidate for the highest office in the country I love so much.And tonight, I remain her servant.That is blessing enough for anyone and I thank the people of Arizona for it.假若我为命运赋予自己极大的特权来服务这个国家达半个世纪之久而感到懊悔，我就不配称为“美国人”。今天，我曾是我所热爱的国家中最高职务的一位候选人；今晚，我仍是她的仆人。这对任何人而言足以称作恩赐。为此，我感谢亚利桑那州的人民！

Tonight--tonight, more than any night, I hold in my heart nothing but love for this country and for all its citizens, whether they supported me or Senator Obama--whether they supported me or Senator Obama, I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president.今夜——今晚，对这个国家，对她的国民，我心中从未有过这样的热爱，不论他们支持我还是奥巴马参议员——不论他们支持我还是奥巴马参议员，我都祝愿我过去的对手也是我未来的总统一切顺利。

And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties but to believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.就像我在竞选中时常说的，我呼吁所有的美国人民，不要因眼前的困境感到绝望，而要对美国的前景和伟大始终抱有信心，因为在这里没有什么是不能避免的。

Americans never quit.We never surrender.We never hide from history.We make history.美国人绝不会认输，我们绝不会投降，我们绝不会从历史中消失，我们创造历史。

Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America.Thank you all very much.谢谢你们！愿神祝福你们！愿神祝福美国！非常感谢你们所有人！

麦凯恩败选演讲（英文原文+中文翻译）

2008年11月06日

我的朋友们，我们已经走完了这次漫长的旅程

Thank you.Thank you, my friends.Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening.感谢各位。非常感谢你们，我的朋友们。感谢你们在这个美好的夜晚，来到这里。My friends, we have--we have come to the end of a long journey.The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.我的朋友们，我们已经，已经走完了这次漫长的旅程。美国人民已经说出了他们的决定，说得非常清楚。

A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Sen.Barack Obama to congratulate him.刚才，我非常荣幸地给奥巴马参议员打电话，向他表示祝贺。

To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.祝贺他当选为这个国家的下一任总统，这个我们两个都无比热爱的国家的下一任总统。

我明白这次选举对于非洲裔美国人的特殊意义

This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight.这是一次历史性的选举。我明白这次选举对于非洲裔美国人的特殊意义，感受到了此刻他们心中油然而生的自豪感。

I've always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it.Sen.Obama believes that, too.我始终深信不疑，对于任何一个勤奋努力、勇于开拓的人，美国都会给予他机会。奥巴马参议员也深信这一点。

But we both recognize that, though we have come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation's reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of American citizenship, the memory of them still had the power to wound.但是，我们两个也都不曾忘记，历史上有过一段黑暗的日子，一些美国人被剥夺了完整的公民权，这样的不公正令我们的国家蒙羞。虽然它早已成为了历史，但是伤痛的记忆依然存在。

A century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt's invitation of Booker T.Washington to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage in many quarters.一个世纪前，西奥多·罗斯福总统邀请Booker T.Washington（注：黑人教育家），到白宫共进晚餐。全国各地有许多人，认为这是一个骇人听闻的事件。

America today is a world away from the cruel and frightful bigotry of that time.There is no better evidence of this than the election of an African-American to the presidency of the United States.今天的美国已经是一个完全不同的世界了，骇人的残忍和可怕的偏执一去不复返了。最好的证据就是，今晚一个非洲裔美国人当选为美利坚合众国的总统。我将尽我所能帮助他

These are difficult times for our country.And I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face.我们的国家正处在艰难时刻。奥巴马参议员将领导我们迎接挑战。今晚，我向他保证，我将尽我所能帮助他，I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.我呼吁所有支持我的美国人，一起加入我，不仅向我们的下一任总统表示祝贺，而且将我们良好的愿望和不懈的努力都提供给他，一起构筑沟通的桥梁，一起找到恢复繁荣的道路，在这个危险的世界中确保我们的安全，让我们的子孙生活在一个更强大、更美好的国家。失败是我的，不是你们的

It is natural.It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment.But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.今晚，很自然地，我们会感到一些失望。但是明天，我们还要继续前进，还要并肩工作，让我们的国家不断向前。

We fought--we fought as hard as we could.And though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours.我们努力过了，尽了我们所能。虽然最后我们没有成功，但是失败是我的，不是你们的。

I am so deeply grateful to all of you for the great honor of your support and for all you have done for me.I wish the outcome had been different, my friends.我要对你们所有人表示深切的感谢，你们的支持和你们为我所做的一切，是我的莫大荣耀。我的朋友们，我多么希望，我们有一个不一样的结果。

The road was a difficult one from the outset, but your support and friendship never wavered.I cannot adequately express how deeply indebted I am to you.从第一天起，这就是一条艰难的道路，但是你们的支持和努力从未动摇。我无法用言语表达，我对你们是多么感激。我的心中只有感激

I don't know--I don't know what more we could have done to try to win this election.I'll leave that to others to determine.Every candidate makes mistakes, and I'm sure I made my share of them.But I won't spend a moment of the future regretting what might have been.我不知道。不知道我们还要再做什么，才能赢得这场选举。我想把这个问题，留给其他人来思考。每个候选人都会犯错误，我很肯定我也是如此。但是，我不会再花一分钟，对那些可能发生的事情懊恼不已。

This campaign was and will remain the great honor of my life, and my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude for the experience and to the American people for giving me a fair hearing before deciding that Sen.Obama and my old friend Sen.Joe Biden should have the honor of leading us for the next four years.这场选举已经是、并且将一直是我生命中的莫大光荣。虽然，美国人民最后决定，将未来四年领导美国的光荣使命，交给了奥巴马参议员和我的老朋友拜登参议员，但是对于这段选举的经历，我的心中只有感激。我要感谢美国人民给予我公平的机会，倾听了我的主张。

Tonight--tonight, more than any night, I hold in my heart nothing but love for this country and for all its citizens, whether they supported me or Sen.Obama--whether they supported me or Sen.Obama.今晚，就是在此刻，我的心中比任何一个夜晚都充满了对这个国家和她的全体人民的爱，不管美国人民选择支持我或者奥巴马参议员。我们绝不会从历史中消失

I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president.And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.对于我从前的竞选对手和未来的总统，我表示祝福。就像在竞选中我一再说过的，我呼吁全体美国人民，不要对现在的困难处境感到绝望，我们要永远地对这个国家的前途和伟大抱有信心。

Americans never quit.We never surrender.美国人民从来不会放弃。我们从不认输。We never hide from history.We make history.我们绝不会从历史中消失。我们创造历史。

Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America.Thank you all very much.感谢你们。上帝保佑你们。上帝保佑美国。衷心地感谢你们所有人。

第三篇：哈佛大学演讲(中英对照)英语口语

The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination 失败的好处与想象的重要

Harvard University Commencement Address

J.K.Rowling

President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, proud parents, and, above all, graduates, 福斯特主席，哈佛公司和监察委员会的各位成员，各位老师、家长、全体毕业生们： The first thing I would like to say is “thank you.” Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honour, but the weeks of fear and nausea I’ve endured at the thought of giving this commencement address have made me lose weight.A win-win situation!Now all I have to do is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and convince myself that I am at the world’s largest Gryffindors' reunion.首先请允许我说一声谢谢。哈佛不仅给了我无上的荣誉，连日来为这个演讲经受的恐惧和紧张，更令我减肥成功。这真是一个双赢的局面。现在我要做的就是深呼吸几下，眯着眼睛看看前面的大红横幅，安慰自己正在世界上最大的魔法学院聚会上。

Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility;or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation.The commencement speaker that day was the distinguished British philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock.Reflecting on her speech has helped me enormously in writing this one, because it turns out that I can't remember a single word she said.This liberating discovery enables me 更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.xiexiebang.coming a gay wizard.发表毕业演说是一个巨大的责任，至少在我回忆自己当年的毕业典礼前是这么认为的。那天做演讲的是英国著名的哲学家Baroness Mary Warnock，对她演讲的回忆，对我写今天的演讲稿，产生了极大的帮助，因为我不记得她说过的任何一句话了。这个发现让我释然，让我不再担心我可能会无意中影响你放弃在商业，法律或政治上的大好前途，转而醉心于成为一个快乐的魔法师。

You see? If all you remember in years to come is the 'gay wizard' joke, I've still come out ahead of Baroness Mary Warnock.Achievable goals-the first step to self-improvement.你们看，如果在若干年后你们还记得“快乐的魔法师”这个笑话，那就证明我已经超越了Baroness Mary Warnock。建立可实现的目标——这是提高自我的第一步。

Actually, I have wracked my mind and heart for what I ought to say to you today.I have asked myself what I wish I had known at my own graduation, and what important lessons I have learned in the 21 years that has expired between that day and this.实际上，我为今天应该和大家谈些什么绞尽了脑汁。我问自己什么是我希望早在毕业典礼上就该了解的，而从那时起到现在的21年间，我又得到了什么重要的启示。

I have come up with two answers.On this wonderful day when we are gathered together to celebrate your academic success, I have decided to talk to you about the benefits of failure.And as you stand on the threshold of what is sometimes 更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.xiexiebang.comfortable experience for the 42-year-old that she has become.Half my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between the ambition I had for myself, and what those closest to me expected of me.回顾21岁刚刚毕业时的自己，对于今天42岁的我来说，是一个稍微不太舒服的经历。可以说，我人生的前一部分，一直挣扎在自己的雄心和身边的人对我的期望之间。I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels.However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that could never pay a mortgage, or secure a pension.我一直深信，自己唯一想做的事情，就是写小说。不过，我的父母，他们都来自贫穷的背景，没有任何一人上过大学，坚持认为我过度的想象力是一个令人惊讶的个人怪癖，根本不足以让我支付按揭，或者取得足够的养老金。

I know the irony strikes like with the force of a cartoon anvil now, but… 我现在明白反讽就像用卡通铁砧去打击你，但...更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.xiexiebang.compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages.Hardly had my parents' car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor.他们希望我去拿个职业学位，而我想去攻读英国文学。最后，达成了一个双方都不甚满意的妥协：我改学现代语言。可是等到父母一走开，我立刻放弃了德语而报名学习古典文学。I cannot remember telling my parents that I was studying Classics;they might well have found out for the first time on graduation day.Of all the subjects on this planet, I think they would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology when it came to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.我不记得将这事告诉了父母，他们可能是在我毕业典礼那一天才发现的。我想，在全世界的所有专业中，他们也许认为，不会有比研究希腊神话更没用的专业了，根本无法换来一间独立宽敞的卫生间。

I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view.There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction;the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.What is more, I cannot criticise my parents for hoping that I would never experience poverty.They had been poor themselves, and I have since been poor, and I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience.Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression;it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships.Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that 更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.xiexiebang.come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.最终，我们所有人都必须自己决定什么算作失败，但如果你愿意，世界是相当渴望给你一套标准的。所以我承认命运的公平，从任何传统的标准看，在我毕业仅仅七年后的日子里，我的失败达到了史诗般空前的规模：短命的婚姻闪电般地破裂，我又失业成了一个艰难的单更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.xiexiebang.complicated, and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.如果给我一部时间机器，我会告诉21岁的自己，人的幸福在于知道生活不是一份漂亮的成绩单，你的资历、简历，都不是你的生活，虽然你会碰到很多与我同龄或更老一点的人今天依然还在混淆两者。生活是艰辛的，复杂的，超出任何人的控制能力，而谦恭地了解这一点，将使你历经沧桑后能够更好的生存。

You might think that I chose my second theme, the importance of imagination, because of the part it played in rebuilding my life, but that is not wholly so.Though I will defend the value of bedtime stories to my last gasp, I have learned to value imagination in a much broader sense.Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation.In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.对于第二个主题的选择——想象力的重要性——你们可能会认为是因为它对我重建生活起到了帮助，但事实并非完全如此。虽然我愿誓死捍卫睡前要给孩子讲故事的价值观，我对想象力的理解已经有了更广泛的含义。想象力不仅仅是人类设想还不存在的事物这种独特更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.xiexiebang.come to give information, or to try and find out what had happened to those who they had left behind.我有很多的同事是前政治犯，他们已离开家园流离失所，或逃亡流放，因为他们敢于怀疑政府、独立思考。来我们办公室的访客，包括那些前来提供信息，或想设法知道那些被迫留下的同志发生了什么事的人。

I shall never forget the African torture victim, a young man no older than I was at the time, who had become mentally ill after all he had endured in his homeland.He trembled uncontrollably as he spoke into a video camera about the brutality inflicted upon him.He was a foot taller than I was, and seemed as fragile as a child.I was given the job of escorting him to the Underground Station afterwards, and this man whose life had been shattered by cruelty took my hand with exquisite courtesy, and wished me future happiness.我将永远不会忘记一个非洲酷刑的受害者，一名当时还没有我大的年轻男子，他因在故乡的经历而精神错乱。在摄像机前讲述被残暴地摧残的时候，他颤抖失控。他比我高一英尺，却看上去像一个脆弱的儿童。我被安排随后护送他到地铁站，这名生活已被残酷地打乱的男子，小心翼翼地握着我的手，祝我未来生活幸福。

Many of my co-workers were ex-political prisoners, people who had been displaced from their homes, or fled into exile, because they had the temerity to think independently of their government.Visitors to our office included those who had come to give information, or to try and find out what had happened to those 更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.xiexiebang.come mentally ill after all he had endured in his homeland.He trembled uncontrollably as he spoke into a video camera about the brutality inflicted upon him.He was a foot taller than I was, and seemed as fragile as a child.I was given the job of escorting him to the Underground Station afterwards, and this man whose life had been shattered by cruelty took my hand with exquisite courtesy, and wished me future happiness.我将永远不会忘记一个非洲酷刑的受害者，一名当时还没有我大的年轻男子，他因在故乡的经历而精神错乱。在摄像机前讲述被残暴地摧残的时候，他颤抖失控。他比我高一英尺，却看上去像一个脆弱的儿童。我被安排随后护送他到地铁站，这名生活已被残酷地打乱的男子，小心翼翼地握着我的手，祝我未来生活幸福。

And as long as I live I shall remember walking along an empty corridor and suddenly hearing, from behind a closed door, a scream of pain and horror such as I have never heard since.The door opened, and the researcher poked out her head and told me to run and make a hot drink for the young man sitting with her.She had just given him the news that in retaliation for his own outspokenness against his country's regime, his mother had been seized and executed.只要我活着，我就会记得，在一个空荡荡的的走廊，突然从背后的门里，传来我从未听更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.xiexiebang.comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are.They can refuse to hear screams or to peer inside cages;they can close their minds and hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally;they can refuse to know.而很多人选择不去使用他们的想象力。他们选择留在自己舒适的世界里，从来不愿花力气去想想如果生在别处会怎样。他们可以拒绝去听别人的尖叫，看一眼囚禁的笼子；他们可更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.xiexiebang.committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude with it, through our own apathy.更甚的是，那些选择不去同情的人，可能会激活真正的怪兽。因为尽管自己没有犯下罪恶，我们却通过冷漠与之勾结。

One of the many things I learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age of 18, in search of something I could not then define, was this, written by the Greek author Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.我18岁开始从古典文学中汲取许多知识，其中之一当时并不完全理解，那就是希腊作家普鲁塔克所说：我们内心获得的，将改变外在的现实。

So today, I can wish you nothing better than similar friendships.And tomorrow, I hope that even if you remember not a single word of mine, you remember those of Seneca, another of those old Romans I met when I fled down the Classics corridor, in retreat from career ladders, in search of ancient wisdom: 更多出国考试资料下载：http://www.manfen.net/topic-download.html 所以今天我可以给你们的，没有比拥有知己更好的祝福了。明天，我希望即使你们不记得我说的任何一个字，你们还能记得哲学家塞内加的一句至理明言。我当年没有顺着事业的阶梯向上攀爬，转而与他在古典文学的殿堂相遇，他的古老智慧给了我人生的启迪： As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.生活就像故事一样：不在乎长短，而在于质量，这才是最重要的。I wish you all very good lives.我祝愿你们都有美好的生活。Thank you very much.非常感谢大家。

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！

第五篇：米歇尔北大演讲 中英对照

MRS.OBAMA:(Applause.)Thank you.Well, ni-hao.(Laughter.)It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me.Now, before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all of the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.Now with that, I want to start by recognizing our new Ambassador to China, Ambassador Baucus;President Wang;Chairman Zhu;Vice President Li;Director Cueller;Professor Oi, and the Stanford Center;President Sexton from New York University, which is an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai;and John Thornton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University.Thank you all for joining us.But most of all, I want to thank all of the students who are here today.And I particularly want to thank Eric Schaefer and Zhu Xuanhao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was a powerful symbol of everything that I want to talk with you about today.See, by learning each other’s languages, and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other’s cultures, Mr.Schafer and Ms.Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that will lead to so much more.And I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the globe.That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between nations aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders--they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students, but also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a button.Companies can do business and compete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email, Skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester;it is quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important.It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders –-experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.Or, as the Chinese saying goes: ―It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.‖

But let’s be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future.It’s also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time-– whether it’s climate change or economic opportunity or the spread of nuclear weapons--these are shared challenges.And no one country can confront them alone.The only way forward is together.That’s why it is so important for young people like you to live and study in each other’s countries, because that’s how you develop that habit of cooperation.You do it by immersing yourself in one another’s culture, by learning each other’s stories, by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.That’s how you come to understand how much we all share.That’s how you realize that we all have a stake in each other’s success--that cures discovered here in Beijing could save lives in America, that clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley in California could improve the environment here in China, that the architecture of an ancient temple in Xi’an could inspire the design of new buildings in Dallas or Detroit.And that’s when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more.That’s what happened when Abigail Coplin became an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking University.She and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals, and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.And Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was a Fulbright Scholarship--Scholar in the U.S.last year, and he reported--and this is a quote from him--he said, ―The most memorable experiences were with my American friends.‖

These lasting bonds represent the true value of studying abroad.And I am thrilled that more and more students are getting this opportunity.As you’ve heard, China is currently the fifth most popular destination for Americans studying abroad, and today, the highest number of exchange students in the U.S.are from China.But still, too many students never have this chance, and some that do are hesitant to take it.They may feel like studying abroad is only for wealthy students or students from certain kinds of universities.Or they may think to themselves, well, that sounds fun but how will it be useful in my life? And believe me, I understand where these young people are coming from because I felt the same way back when I was in college.See, I came from a working-class family, and it never occurred to me to study abroad--never.My parents didn’t get a chance to attend college, so I was focused on getting into a university, earning my degree so that I could get a good job to support myself and help my family.And I know for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford a regular semester of school, paying for plane tickets or living expenses halfway around the world just isn’t possible.And that’s not acceptable, because study abroad shouldn’t just be for students from certain backgrounds.Our hope is to build connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds, because it is that diversity that truly will change the face of our relationships.So we believe that diversity makes our country vibrant and strong.And our study abroad programs should reflect the true spirit of America to the world.And that’s why when my husband visited China back in 2009, he announced the 100,000 Strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of American students studying in China.And this year, as we mark the 35th anniversary of the normalization of relationships between our two countries, the U.S.government actually supports more American students in China than in any other country in the world.We are sending high school, college and graduate students here to study Chinese.We’re inviting teachers from China to teach Mandarin in American schools.We’re providing free online advising for students in China who want to study in the U.S.And the U.S.-China Fulbright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni.And the private sector is stepping up as well.For example, Steve Schwarzman, who is the head of an American company called Blackstone, is funding a new program at Tsinghua University modeled on the Rhodes Scholarship.And today, students from all kinds of backgrounds are studying here in China.Take the example of Royale Nicholson, who’s from Cleveland, Ohio.She attends New York University’s program in Shanghai.Now, like me, Royale is a first-generation college student.And her mother worked two full-time jobs while her father worked nights to support their family.And of her experience in Shanghai, Royale said--and this is her quote--she said, ―This city oozes persistence and inspires me to accomplish all that I can.‖ And happy birthday, Royale.It was her birthday yesterday.(Laughter.)And then there’s Philmon Haile from the University of Washington, whose family came to the U.S.as refugees from Eritrea when he was a child.And of his experience studying in China, he said, ―Study abroad is a powerful vehicle for people-to-people exchange as we move into a new era of citizen diplomacy.‖ ―A new era of citizen diplomacy.‖ I could not have said it better myself, because that’s really what I’m talking about.I am talking about ordinary citizens reaching out to the world.And as I always tell young people back in America, you don’t need to get on a plane to be a citizen diplomat.I tell them that if you have an Internet connection in your home, school, or library, within seconds you can be transported anywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.And that’s why I’m posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my experiences here in China, because I want young people in America to be part of this visit.And that’s really the power of technology –-how it can open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we never could have imagined.And that’s why it’s so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the Internet and through the media, because that’s how we discover the truth.That’s how we learn what’s really happening in our communities and our country and our world.And that’s how we decide which values and ideas we think are best –-by questioning and debating them vigorously, by listening to all sides of an argument, and by judging for ourselves.And believe me, I know how this can be a messy and frustrating process.My husband and I are on the receiving end of plenty of questioning and criticism from our media and our fellow citizens.And it’s not always easy, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices of and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.And as my husband has said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies, but when it comes to expressing yourself freely and worshipping as you choose and having open access to information, we believe those universal rights--they are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet.We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as I was able to do in the United States.And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you are the living, breathing embodiment of those values.So I guarantee you that in studying abroad, you’re not just changing your own life, you are changing the lives of everyone you meet.And as the great American President John F.Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in the U.S., he said ―I think they teach more than they learn.‖ And that is just as true of young Americans who study abroad.All of you are America’s best face, and China’s best face, to the world--you truly are.Every day, you show the world your countries’ energy and creativity and optimism and unwavering belief in the future.And every day, you remind us--and me in particular--of just how much we can achieve if we reach across borders, and learn to see ourselves in each other, and confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.So I hope you all will keep seeking these kinds of experiences.And I hope you’ll keep teaching each other, and learning from each other, and building bonds of friendship that will enrich your lives and enrich our world for decades to come.You all have so much to offer, and I cannot wait to see all that you achieve together in the years ahead.Thank you so much.Xie-Xie.(Applause.)END

(掌声)谢谢你！嗯,你好。(笑声)是这样的快乐和荣幸与大家在这里在这个伟大的大学,所以非常感谢你邀请我。

现在,在我今天开始,代表我和我的丈夫,我只想说非常简短的几句话对马来西亚航空公司370号航班。我的丈夫说,美国提供尽可能多的资源协助搜索。请知道我们让所有的家庭和亲人的这班飞机在我们的思念和祈祷在这个非常困难的时期。

现在,我想先认识我们的新驻华大使,大使鲍卡斯;总统王;主席朱,李副主席,主管Cueller;Oi教授和斯坦福中心;总统Sexton从纽约大学,这是一个很好的留学项目在上海,和约翰·桑顿,清华大学全球领导力项目的主任。谢谢你加入我们。

但最重要的是,我要感谢所有的学生今天都在这里。朱,我特别要感谢Eric Schaefer和Xuanhao的非凡的中英文介绍。这是一个强有力的象征的一切,今天我想跟你谈谈。

看到的,通过学习对方的语言,通过展示这样的好奇心和尊重对方的文化,谢弗和朱女士和您正在构建所有的桥梁将导致更多的理解。,今天我在这里,因为我知道,我们的未来取决于这些连接全球年轻人的喜欢你。

这就是为什么当我和丈夫出国旅行,我们不只是参观宫殿和议会和会见国家元首。我们也来这样的学校与学生见面和你一样,因为我们相信,国家之间的关系不只是关于政府或领导人之间的关系,他们之间的关系的人,尤其是年轻人。所以我们认为留学计划不仅仅是一个教育学生的机会,但也作为美国外交政策的重要组成部分。

但要搞清楚的是,出国留学是如此多提高自己的未来。这也是对塑造你的国家和世界的未来我们都分享。因为在我们这个时代的决定性挑战——无论是气候变化或经济机会或核武器的扩散,这些共同的挑战。,没有一个国家可以独自面对它们。唯一的出路是在一起。

这就是为什么它是如此重要的年轻人喜欢你生活和学习在彼此的国家,因为这是你如何开发,合作的习惯。你沉浸在彼此的文化,通过学习对方的故事,通过过去的成见和误解,经常分裂我们。

这就是你开始了解有多少我们都分享。这就是你意识到我们都有对方的成功——治愈的股份在美国发现在北京可以拯救生命,从加州硅谷清洁能源技术可以改善这里的环境在中国,一个古老的寺庙的建筑在西安可以激发新建筑的设计在达拉斯或底特律。

连接时,你让同学或labmates可以绽放成更多的东西。这就是发生在阿比盖尔Coplin成为美国富布赖特学者在北京大学。她和她的同事在顶尖科学杂志发表论文,和他们建立研究伙伴关系,持续了很久之后他们回到自己的国家。从北京大学教授和妞妞柯是一个富布赖特奖学金——去年在美国学者,和他说,这是一个引用从他——他说,―最难忘的经历是我的美国朋友。‖

这些长期债券代表出国留学的真正价值。我激动,越来越多的学生得到这个机会。你听说过,中国现在是第五个最受欢迎的目的地,美国人出国留学,今天,最多的美国交换学生来自中国。

但是,太多的学生从来没有这个机会,和一些做犹豫。他们可能觉得出国留学只是富裕的学生或学生从某些类型的大学。或者他们会认为自己,好吧,这听起来有趣,但它将如何是有用的在我的生命中?相信我,我理解这些年轻人来自哪里,因为我感到同样的方式在我上大学的时候。

看,我来自一个工人阶级家庭,和我从未想到出国留学——从来没有。我的父母没有机会上大学,所以我关注的是进入大学,获得我的学位,这样我就可以找到一份好工作来支持我和帮助我的家人。,我知道像我这样的很多年轻人努力承受常规学期的学校,支付机票或全世界生活费用一半是不可能的。这是不能接受的,因为出国留学不应该只是为特定背景的学生。

我们希望双方能建立所有种族和社会经济背景的人们之间的联系,因为它是多样性,真正将改变我们的关系。所以我们相信多样性使我们的国家充满活力的和强大的。和我们的留学计划应该反映美国真正的精神世界。

这就是为什么当我丈夫访问中国早在2009年,他宣布100000人计划增加在中国学习的美国学生的数量和多样性。今年,我们35周年我们两国之间关系正常化,美国政府实际上支持更多的美国学生在中国比在世界上其他任何国家。

我们寄上高中、大学和研究生学习汉语。我们邀请老师从中国在美国学校教中文。我们为学生提供免费的网上建议那些想要在中国留学美国和美国中美富布赖特项目仍然强劲,超过3000名校友。

和私营部门也加大。例如,史蒂夫•施瓦茨曼,他是一个美国公司百仕通(Blackstone)正在资助清华大学一个新程序仿照罗兹奖学金。今天,来自各种背景的学生在中国学习。

比如说皇家尼克尔森,谁从克利夫兰,俄亥俄州。她参加在上海纽约大学的计划。现在,像我一样,皇家是第一代大学生。和她的母亲工作两份全职工作,而她的父亲晚上工作来支持他们的家庭。和她的经验在上海,皇家说,这是她的报价,她说,―这座城市散发出持久性和激励我完成所有我能。―生日快乐,皇家。昨天是她的生日。(笑声)

还有Philmon海尔大学的华盛顿,他的家族从厄立特里亚难民来到美国当他还是个孩子。和他在中国的经验研究,他说,―出国留学是一个强大的人文交流的工具,我们进入一个新时代的公民外交‖。

―一个公民外交的新时代。―我不可能说得更好我自己,因为那是真的我在说什么。我谈论普通市民接触世界。我总是告诉年轻人回到美国,在飞机上你不需要成为一个公民外交官。我告诉他们,如果你有一个互联网连接在家里,学校或图书馆,在几秒钟内你可以在世界任何地方运输,满足每一块大陆上的人们。

这就是为什么我每天发布旅游博客的视频和照片我的经历在中国,因为我想要在美国年轻人这次访问的一部分。真技术的力量,如何打开整个世界,让我们思想和创新简直无法想象。

这就是为什么它是如此重要的信息和想法通过互联网自由流动和通过媒体,因为这是我们如何发现真理。这就是我们学习的真正发生在我们的社区和我们的国家和我们的世界。这就是我们如何决定哪些价值观和想法我们认为是最好的——通过询问和讨论积极,通过聆听各方的观点,并为自己的判断。

相信我,我知道这可能是一个混乱的和令人沮丧的过程。我丈夫和我都受到很多质疑和批评我们的媒体和我们的同胞。,这并不总是容易的,但我们不会贸易世界上任何东西。因为一次又一次,我们已经看到,国家更强大和更繁荣的声音和意见,所有的公民都可以听到。

我丈夫说,我们尊重其他文化和社会的独特性,但是当谈到自由表达自己和崇拜,你选择和开放获取信息,我们相信这些普世权利——他们是普世权利,是这个星球上每一个人与生俱来的权利。我们相信所有的人应该履行最高潜能的机会,我能做的在美国。

当你学习新的文化,形成新的友谊在你的时间在中国和在美国,你是活着的,呼吸的体现这些值。所以我向你保证,在出国留学,你不仅仅是改变你自己的生活,你正在改变每个你遇到的人的生活。

伟大的美国总统约翰·f·肯尼迪曾经说过关于外国学生在美国学习他说,―我认为他们教他们学习。‖,同样的年轻美国人留学。你都是美国最好的脸,和中国最好的脸,世界——你真的是。

每一天,你向世界展示国家的能源和创造力,乐观和坚定的相信未来。每天,你提醒我们——尤其是我是多么我们可以实现跨越边界,和相互学习看到自己,面对我们共同的挑战,共同解决。

所以我希望你将继续寻找这些类型的经验。和我希望你能保持教学彼此,互相学习,建立友谊,丰富你的生活,丰富我们的世界几十年。

你都有这么多提供,我迫不及待地想看到你实现在未来几年。

谢谢你们。Xie-Xie。(掌声)
