篇一：Ted 演讲稿

when i was nine years old i went off to summer camp for the first time.and my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do.because in my family, reading was the primary group activity.and this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social.you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind.and i had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better.(laughter)i had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.(laughter)

camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol.and on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit.and it went like this: “r-o-w-d-i-e, that's the way we spell rowdie.rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie.” yeah.so i couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly.(laughter)but i recited a cheer.i recited a cheer along with everybody else.i did my best.and i just waited for the time that i could go off and read my books.but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, “why are you being so mellow?”--mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e.and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer.and i felt kind of guilty about this.i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking them.but i did forsake them and i didn't open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.now, i tell you this story about summer camp.i could have told you 50 others just like it--all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert.and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were.but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be--partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too.and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends.and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn't even aware that i was making them.

篇二：ted演讲稿

chinese restaurants have played an important role in american history, as a matter of fact.the cuban missile crisis was resolved in a chinese restaurant called yenching palace in washington, d.c., which unfortunately is closed now, and about to be turned into walgreen's.and the house that john wilkes booth planned the assassination of abraham lincoln is actually also now a chinese restaurant called wok 'n roll, on h street in washington.事实上，中国餐馆在美国历史上发挥了很重要的作用。古巴导弹危机是在华盛顿一家名叫“燕京馆”的中餐馆里解决的。很不幸，这家餐馆现在关门了，即将被改建成沃尔格林连锁药店。而约翰·威尔克斯·布斯刺杀林肯总统的那所房子现在也成了一家中餐馆，就是位于华盛顿的“锅和卷”。

and if you think about it, a lot of the foods that you think of or we think of or americans think of as chinese food are barely recognizable to chinese, for e_ample: beef with broccoli, egg rolls, general tso's chicken, fortune cookies, chop suey, the take-out bo_es.如果你仔细想想，就会发现很多你们所认为或我们所认为，或是美国人所认为的中国食物，中国人并不认识。比如西兰花牛肉、蛋卷、左宗棠鸡、幸运饼干、杂碎、外卖盒子。

so, the interesting question is, how do you go from fortune cookies being something that is japanese to being something that is chinese? well, the short answer is, we locked up all the japanese during world war ii, including those that made fortune cookies, so that's the time when the chinese moved in, kind of saw a market opportunity and took over.所以有趣的是，幸运饼干是怎么从日本的东西变成中国的东西的呢?简单地说，我们在二战时扣押了所以的日本人，包括那些做幸运饼干的。这时候，中国人来了，看到了商机，自然就据为己有了。

general tso's chicken--which, by the way, in the us naval academy is called admiral tso's chicken.i love this dish.the original name in my book was actually called the long march of general tso, and he has marched very far indeed, because he is sweet, he is fried, and he is chicken--all things that americans love.左宗棠鸡，在美国海军军校被称为左司令鸡。我很喜欢这道菜。在我的书里，这道菜实际上叫左将军的长征，它确实在美国很受欢迎，因为它是甜的，油炸的，是鸡肉做的——全部都是美国人的最爱。

so, you know, i realized when i was there, general tso is kind of a lot like colonel sanders in america, in that he's known for chicken and not war.but in china, this guy's actually known for war and not chicken.我意识到左宗棠将军有点像美国的桑德斯上校(肯德基创始人)，因为他是因鸡肉而出名的而不是战争。而在中国，左宗棠确实是因为战争而不是鸡肉闻名的。

so it's kind of part of the phenomenon i called spontaneous self-organization, right, where, like in ant colonies, where little decisions made by--on the micro-level actually have a big impact on the macro-level.这就有点像我所说的自发组织现象。就像在蚂蚁群中，在微观层面上做的小小决定会在宏观层面上产生巨大的影响。

and the great innovation of chicken mcnuggets was not nuggetfying them, because that's kind of an easy concept, but the trick behind chicken mcnuggets was, they were able to remove the chicken from the bone in a cost-effective manner, which is why it took so long for other people to copy them.麦乐鸡块的发明并没有给他们带来切实收益，因为这个想法很简单，但麦乐鸡背后的技巧是如何用一种划算的方式来把鸡肉从骨头上剔出来。这就是为什么过了这么久才有人模仿他们。

we can think of chinese restaurants perhaps as linu_: sort of an open source thing, right, where ideas from one person can be copied and propagated across the entire system, that there can be specialized versions of chinese food, you know, depending on the region.我们可以把中餐馆比作linu_：一种开源系统。一个人的想法可以在整个系统中被复制，被普及。在不同的地区，就有特别版本的中国菜。

篇三：ted演讲稿

简介：残奥会短跑冠军aimee mullins天生没有腓骨，从小就要学习靠义肢走路和奔跑。如今，她不仅是短跑选手、演员、模特，还是一位稳健的演讲者。她不喜欢字典中 “disabled”这个词，因为负面词汇足以毁掉一个人。但是，坦然面对不幸，你会发现等待你的是更多的机会。

i'd like to share with you a discovery that i made a few months ago while writing an article for italian wired.i always keep my thesaurus handy whenever i'm writing anything, but i'd already finished editing the piece, and i realized that i had never once in my life looked up the word “disabled” to see what i'd find.let me read you the entry.“disabled, adjective: crippled, helpless, useless, wrecked, stalled, maimed, wounded, mangled, lame, mutilated, run-down, worn-out, weakened, impotent, castrated, paralyzed, handicapped, senile, decrepit, laid-up, done-up, done-for, done-in cracked-up, counted-out;see also hurt, useless and weak.antonyms, healthy, strong, capable.” i was reading this list out loud to a friend and at first was laughing, it was so ludicrous, but i'd just gotten past “mangled,” and my voice broke, and i had to stop and collect myself from the emotional shock and impact that the assault from these words unleashed.you know, of course, this is my raggedy old thesaurus so i'm thinking this must be an ancient print date, right? but, in fact, the print date was the early 1980s, when i would have been starting primary school and forming an understanding of myself outside the family unit and as related to the other kids and the world around me.and, needless to say, thank god i wasn't using a thesaurus back then.i mean, from this entry, it would seem that i was born into a world that perceived someone like me to have nothing positive whatsoever going for them, when in fact, today i'm celebrated for the opportunities and adventures my life has procured.so, i immediately went to look up the __ online edition, e_pecting to find a revision worth noting.here's the updated version of this entry.unfortunately, it's not much better.i find the last two words under “near antonyms,” particularly unsettling: “whole” and “wholesome.”

so, it's not just about the words.it's what we believe about people when we name them with these words.it's about the values behind the words, and how we construct those values.our language affects our thinking and how we view the world and how we view other people.in fact, many ancient societies, including the greeks and the romans, believed that to utter a curse verbally was so powerful, because to say the thing out loud brought it into e_istence.so, what reality do we want to call into e_istence: a person who is limited, or a person who's empowered? by casually doing something as simple as naming a person, a child, we might be putting lids and casting shadows on their power.wouldn't we want to open doors for them instead?

one such person who opened doors for me was my childhood doctor at the a.i.dupont institute in wilmington, delaware.his name was dr.pizzutillo, an italian american, whose name, apparently, was too difficult for most americans to pronounce, so he went by dr.p.and dr.p always wore really colorful bow ties and had the very perfect disposition to work with children.i loved almost everything about my time spent at this hospital, with the e_ception of my physical therapy sessions.i had to do what seemed like innumerable repetitions of e_ercises with these thick, elastic bands--different colors, you know--to help build up my leg muscles, and i hated these bands more than anything--i hated them, had names for them.i hated them.and, you know, i was already bargaining, as a five year-old child, with dr.p to try to get out of doing these e_ercises, unsuccessfully, of course.and, one day, he came in to my session--e_haustive and unforgiving, these sessions--and he said to me, “wow.aimee, you are such a strong and powerful little girl, i think you're going to break one of those bands.when you do break it, i'm going to give you a hundred bucks.”

now, of course, this was a simple ploy on dr.p's part to get me to do the e_ercises i didn't want to do before the prospect of being the richest five-year-old in the second floor ward, but what he effectively did for me was reshape an awful daily occurrence into a new and promising e_perience for me.and i have to wonder today to what e_tent his vision and his declaration of me as a strong and powerful little girl shaped my own view of myself as an inherently strong, powerful and athletic person well into the future.this is an e_ample of how adults in positions of power can ignite the power of a child.but, in the previous instances of those thesaurus entries, our language isn't allowing us to evolve into the reality that we would all want, the possibility of an individual to see themselves as capable.our language hasn't caught up with the changes in our society, many of which have been brought about by technology.certainly, from a medical standpoint, my legs, laser surgery for vision impairment, titanium knees and hip replacements for aging bodies that are allowing people to more fully engage with their abilities, and move beyond the limits that nature has imposed on them--not to mention social networking platforms allow people to self-identify, to claim their own descriptions of themselves, so they can go align with global groups of their own choosing.so, perhaps technology is revealing more clearly to us now what has always been a truth: that everyone has something rare and powerful to offer our society, and that the human ability to adapt is our greatest asset.the human ability to adapt, it's an interesting thing, because people have continually wanted to talk to me about overcoming adversity, and i'm going to make an admission: this phrase never sat right with me, and i always felt uneasy trying to answer people's questions about it, and i think i'm starting to figure out why.implicit in this phrase of “overcoming adversity” is the idea that success, or happiness, is about emerging on the other side of a challenging e_perience unscathed or unmarked by the e_perience, as if my successes in life have come about from an ability to sidestep or circumnavigate the presumed pitfalls of a life with prosthetics, or what other people perceive as my disability.but, in fact, we are changed.we are marked, of course, by a challenge, whether physically, emotionally or both.and i'm going to suggest that this is a good thing.adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life.it's part of our life.and i tend to think of it like my shadow.sometimes i see a lot of it, sometimes there's very little, but it's always with me.and, certainly, i'm not trying to diminish the impact, the weight, of a person's struggle.there is adversity and challenge in life, and it's all very real and relative to every single person, but the question isn't whether or not you're going to meet adversity, but how you're going to meet it.so, our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity, but preparing them to meet it well.and we do a disservice to our kids when we make them feel that they're not equipped to adapt.there's an important difference and distinction between the objective medical fact of my being an amputee and the subjective societal opinion of whether or not i'm disabled.and, truthfully, the only real and consistent disability i've had to confront is the world ever thinking that i could be described by those definitions.in our desire to protect those we care about by giving them the cold, hard truth about their medical prognosis, or, indeed, a prognosis on the e_pected quality of their life, we have to make sure that we don't put the first brick in a wall that will actually disable someone.perhaps the e_isting model of only looking at what is broken in you and how do we fi_ it, serves to be more disabling to the individual than the pathology itself.by not treating the wholeness of a person, by not acknowledging their potency, we are creating another ill on top of whatever natural struggle they might have.we are effectively grading someone's worth to our community.so we need to see through the pathology and into the range of human capability.and, most importantly, there's a partnership between those perceived deficiencies and our greatest creative ability.so it's not about devaluing, or negating, these more trying times as something we want to avoid or sweep under the rug, but instead to find those opportunities wrapped in the adversity.so maybe the idea i want to put out there is not so much overcoming adversity as it is opening ourselves up to it, embracing it, grappling with it, to use a wrestling term, maybe even dancing with it.and, perhaps, if we see adversity as natural, consistent and useful, we're less burdened by the presence of it.this year we celebrate the 200th birthday of charles darwin, and it was 150 years ago, when writing about evolution, that darwin illustrated, i think, a truth about the human character.to paraphrase: it's not the strongest of the species that survives, nor is it the most intelligent that survives;it is the one that is most adaptable to change.conflict is the genesis of creation.from darwin's work, amongst others, we can recognize that the human ability to survive and flourish is driven by the struggle of the human spirit through conflict into transformation.so, again, transformation, adaptation, is our greatest human skill.and, perhaps, until we're tested, we don't know what we're made of.maybe that's what adversity gives us: a sense of self, a sense of our own power.so, we can give ourselves a gift.we can re-imagine adversity as something more than just tough times.maybe we can see it as change.adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.i think the greatest adversity that we've created for ourselves is this idea of normalcy.now, who's normal? there's no normal.there's common, there's typical.there's no normal, and would you want to meet that poor, beige person if they e_isted?(laughter)i don't think so.if we can change this paradigm from one of achieving normalcy to one of possibility--or potency, to be even a little bit more dangerous--we can release the power of so many more children, and invite them to engage their rare and valuable abilities with the community.anthropologists tell us that the one thing we as humans have always required of our community members is to be of use, to be able to contribute.there's evidence that neanderthals, 60,000 years ago, carried their elderly and those with serious physical injury, and perhaps it's because the life e_perience of survival of these people proved of value to the community.they didn't view these people as broken and useless;they were seen as rare and valuable.a few years ago, i was in a food market in the town where i grew up in that red zone in northeastern pennsylvania, and i was standing over a bushel of tomatoes.it was summertime: i had shorts on.i hear this guy, his voice behind me say, “well, if it isn't aimee mullins.” and i turn around, and it's this older man.i have no idea who he is.and i said, “i'm sorry, sir, have we met? i don't remember meeting you.”

he said, “well, you wouldn't remember meeting me.i mean, when we met i was delivering you from your mother's womb.”(laughter)oh, that guy.and, but of course, actually, it did click.this man was dr.kean, a man that i had only known about through my mother's stories of that day, because, of course, typical fashion, i arrived late for my birthday by two weeks.and so my mother's prenatal physician had gone on vacation, so the man who delivered me was a complete stranger to my parents.and, because i was born without the fibula bones, and had feet turned in, and a few toes in this foot and a few toes in that, he had to be the bearer--this stranger had to be the bearer of bad news.he said to me, “i had to give this prognosis to your parents that you would never walk, and you would never have the kind of mobility that other kids have or any kind of life of independence, and you've been making liar out of me ever since.”(laughter)(applause)

the e_traordinary thing is that he said he had saved newspaper clippings throughout my whole childhood, whether winning a second grade spelling bee, marching with the girl scouts, you know, the halloween parade, winning my college scholarship, or any of my sports victories, and he was using it, and integrating it into teaching resident students, med students from hahnemann medical school and hershey medical school.and he called this part of the course the _ factor, the potential of the human will.no prognosis can account for how powerful this could be as a determinant in the quality of someone's life.and dr.kean went on to tell me, he said, “in my e_perience, unless repeatedly told otherwise, and even if given a modicum of support, if left to their own devices, a child will achieve.”

see, dr.kean made that shift in thinking.he understood that there's a difference between the medical condition and what someone might do with it.and there's been a shift in my thinking over time, in that, if you had asked me at 15 years old, if i would have traded prosthetics for flesh-and-bone legs, i wouldn't have hesitated for a second.i aspired to that kind of normalcy back then.but if you ask me today, i'm not so sure.and it's because of the e_periences i've had with them, not in spite of the e_periences i've had with them.and perhaps this shift in me has happened because i've been e_posed to more people who have opened doors for me than those who have put lids and cast shadows on me.see, all you really need is one person to show you the epiphany of your own power, and you're off.if you can hand somebody the key to their own power--the human spirit is so receptive--if you can do that and open a door for someone at a crucial moment, you are educating them in the best sense.you're teaching them to open doors for themselves.in fact, the e_act meaning of the word “educate” comes from the root word “educe.” it means “to bring forth what is within, to bring out potential.” so again, which potential do we want to bring out?

there was a case study done in 1960s britain, when they were moving from grammar schools to comprehensive schools.it's called the streaming trials.we call it “tracking” here in the states.it's separating students from a, b, c, d and so on.and the “a students” get the tougher curriculum, the best teachers, etc.well, they took, over a three-month period, d-level students, gave them a's, told them they were “a's,” told them they were bright, and at the end of this three-month period, they were performing at a-level.and, of course, the heartbreaking, flip side of this study, is that they took the “a students” and told them they were “d's.” and that's what happened at the end of that three-month period.those who were still around in school, besides the people who had dropped out.a crucial part of this case study was that the teachers were duped too.the teachers didn't know a switch had been made.they were simply told, “these are the 'a-students,' these are the 'd-students.'” and that's how they went about teaching them and treating them.so, i think that the only true disability is a crushed spirit, a spirit that's been crushed doesn't have hope, it doesn't see beauty, it no longer has our natural, childlike curiosity and our innate ability to imagine.if instead, we can bolster a human spirit to keep hope, to see beauty in themselves and others, to be curious and imaginative, then we are truly using our power well.when a spirit has those qualities, we are able to create new realities and new ways of being.i'd like to leave you with a poem by a fourteenth-century persian poet named hafiz that my friend, jacques dembois told me about, and the poem is called “the god who only knows four words”: “every child has known god, not the god of names, not the god of don'ts, but the god who only knows four words and keeps repeating them, saying, 'come dance with me.come, dance with me.come, dance with me.'”

thank you.(applause)

篇四：ted演讲稿

in a funny, rapid-fire 4 minutes, ale_is ohanian of reddit tells the real-life fable of one humpback whale's rise to web stardom.the lesson of mister splashy pants is a shoo-in classic for meme-makers and marketers in the facebook age.这段有趣的4分钟演讲，来自 reddit 网站创始人 ale_is ohanian。他讲了一个座头鲸在网上一夜成名的真实故事。“溅水先生”的故事是脸书时代米姆(小编注：根据《牛津英语词典》，meme被定义为：“文化的基本单位，通过非遗传的方式，特别是模仿而得到传递。”)制造者和传播者共同创造的经典案例。

演讲的开头，ale_is ohanian 介绍了“溅水先生”的故事。“绿色和平”环保组织为了阻止日本的捕鲸行为，在一只鲸鱼体内植入新片，并发起一个为这只座头鲸起名的活动。“绿色和平”组织希望起低调奢华有内涵的名字，但经过 reddit 的宣传和推动，票数最多的却是非常不高大上的“溅水先生”这个名字。经过几番折腾，“绿色和平”接受了这个名字，并且这一行动成功阻止了日本捕鲸活动。

演讲内容节选(ale_ ohanian 从社交网络的角度分析这个事件)

and actually, redditors in the internet community were happy to participate, but they weren't whale lovers.a few of them certainly were.but we're talking about a lot of people who were just really interested and really caught up in this great meme, and in fact someone from greenpeace came back on the site and thanked reddit for its participation.but this wasn't really out of altruism.this was just out of interest in doing something cool.事实上，reddit 的社区用户们很高兴参与其中，但他们并非是鲸鱼爱好者。当然，他们中的一小部分或许是。我们看到的是一群人积极地去参与到这个米姆(社会活动)中，实际上 “绿色和平”中的人登陆 reddit.com，感谢大家的参与。网友们这么做并非是完全的利他主义。他们只是觉得做这件事很酷。

and this is kind of how the internet works.this is that great big secret.because the internet provides this level playing field.your link is just as good as your link, which is just as good as my link.as long as we have a browser, anyone can get to any website no matter how big a budget you have.这就是互联网的运作方式。这就是我说的秘密。因为互联网提供的是一个机会均等平台。你分享的链接跟他分享的链接一样有趣，我分享的链接也不赖。只要我们有一个浏览器，不论你的财富几何，你都可以去到想浏览的页面。

the other important thing is that it costs nothing to get that content online now.there are so many great publishing tools that are available, it only takes a few minutes of your time now to actually produce something.and the cost of iteration is so cheap that you might as well give it a go.另外，从互联网获取内容不需要任何成本。如今，互联网有各种各样的发布工具，你只需要几分钟就可以成为内容的提供者。这种行为的成本非常低，你也可以试试。

and if you do, be genuine about it.be honest.be up front.and one of the great lessons that greenpeace actually learned was that it's okay to lose control.the final message that i want to share with all of you--that you can do well online.if you want to succeed you've got to be okay to just lose control.thank you.如果你真的决定试试，那么请真挚、诚实、坦率地去做。“绿色和平”在这个故事中获得的教训是，有时候失控并不一定是坏事。最后我想告诉你们的是——你可以在网络上做得很好。如果你想在网络上成功，你得经得起一点失控。谢谢。

try something new for 30 days 小计划帮你实现大目标

a few years ago, i felt like i was stuck in a rut, so i decided to follow in the footsteps of the great american philosopher, morgan spurlock, and try something new for 30 days.the idea is actually pretty simple.think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the ne_t 30 days.it turns out, 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit — like watching the news — from your life.几年前，我感觉对老一套感到枯燥乏味，所以我决定追随伟大的美国哲学家摩根·斯普尔洛克的脚步，尝试做新事情30天。这个想法的确是非常简单。考虑下，你常想在你生命中做的一些事情 接下来30天尝试做这些。这就是，30天刚好是这么一段合适的时间 去养成一个新的习惯或者改掉一个习惯——例如看新闻——在你生活中。

there’s a few things i learned while doing these 30-day challenges.the first was, instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable.this was part of a challenge i did to take a picture everyday for a month.and i remember e_actly where i was and what i was doing that day.i also noticed that as i started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew.i went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work — for fun.even last year, i ended up hiking up mt.kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in africa.i would never have been that adventurous before i started my 30-day challenges.当我在30天做这些挑战性事情时，我学到以下一些事。第一件事是，取代了飞逝而过易被遗忘的岁月的是 这段时间非常的更加令人难忘。挑战的一部分是要一个月内每天我要去拍摄一张照片。我清楚地记得那一天我所处的位置我都在干什么。我也注意到随着我开始做更多的，更难的30天里具有挑战性的事时，我自信心也增强了。我从一个台式计算机宅男极客变成了一个爱骑自行车去工作的人——为了玩乐。甚至去年，我完成了在非洲最高山峰乞力马扎罗山的远足。在我开始这30天做挑战性的事之前我从来没有这样热爱冒险过。

i also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days.have you ever wanted to write a novel? every november, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000 word novel from scratch in 30 days.it turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month.so i did.by the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you’ve written your words for the day.you might be sleep-deprived, but you’ll finish your novel.now is my book the ne_t great american novel? no.i wrote it in a month.it’s awful.but for the rest of my life, if i meet john hodgman at a ted party, i don’t have to say, “i’m a computer scientist.” no, no, if i want to i can say, “i’m a novelist.”

我也认识到如果你真想一些槽糕透顶的事，你可以在30天里做这些事。你曾想写小说吗?每年11月，数以万计的人们在30天里，从零起点尝试写他们自己的5万字小说。这结果就是，你所要去做的事就是每天写1667个字要写一个月。所以我做到了。顺便说一下，秘密在于除非在一天里你已经写完了1667个字，要不你就甭想睡觉。你可能被剥夺睡眠，但你将会完成你的小说。那么我写的书会是下一部伟大的美国小说吗?不是的。我在一个月内写完它。它看上去太可怕了。但在我的余生，如果我在一个ted聚会上遇见约翰·霍奇曼，我不必开口说，“我是一个电脑科学家。”不，不会的，如果我愿意我可以说，“我是一个小说家。”

(laughter)

(笑声)

so here’s one last thing i’d like to mention.i learned that when i made small, sustainable changes, things i could keep doing, they were more likely to stick.there’s nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges.in fact, they’re a ton of fun.but they’re less likely to stick.when i gave up sugar for 30 days, day 31 looked like this.我这儿想提的最后一件事。当我做些小的、持续性的变化，我可以不断尝试做的事时，我学到我可以把它们更容易地坚持做下来。这和又大又疯狂的具有挑战性的事情无关。事实上，它们的乐趣无穷。但是，它们就不太可能坚持做下来。当我在30天里拒绝吃糖果，31天后看上去就像这样。

(laughter)

(笑声)

so here’s my question to you: what are you waiting for? i guarantee you the ne_t 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the ne_t 30 days.所以我给大家提的问题是：大家还在等什么呀?我保准大家在未来的30天定会经历你喜欢或者不喜欢的事，那么为什么不考虑一些你常想做的尝试并在未来30天里试试给自己一个机会。

thanks.谢谢。

(applause)

I was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the P.O.bo_ at the end of the day, and that was mainly because my mother has never believed in email, in Facebook, in te_ting or cell phones in general.And so while other kids were BBM-ing their parents, I was literally waiting by the mailbo_ to get a letter from home to see how the weekend had gone, which was a little frustrating when Grandma was in the hospital, but I was just looking for some sort of scribble, some unkempt cursive from my mother.And so when I moved to New York City after college and got completely sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of at the time.I wrote those same kinds of letters that my mother had written me for strangers, and tucked them all throughout the city, dozens and dozens of them.I left them everywhere, in cafes and in libraries, at the U.N., everywhere.I blogged about those letters and the days when they were necessary, and I posed a kind of crazy promise to the Internet: that if you asked me for a hand-written letter, I would write you one, no questions asked.Overnight, my inbo_ morphed into this harbor of heartbreak--a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me, a 22-year-old girl who barely even knew her own coffee order, to write them a love letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbo_.Well, today I fuel a global organization that is fueled by those trips to the mailbo_, fueled by the ways in which we can harness social media like never before to write and mail strangers letters when they need them most, but most of all, fueled by crates of mail like this one, my trusty mail crate, filled with the scriptings of ordinary people, strangers writing letters to other strangers not because they're ever going to meet and laugh over a cup of coffee, but because they have found one another by way of letter-writing.But, you know, the thing that always gets me about these letters is that most of them have been written by people that have never known themselves loved on a piece of paper.They could not tell you about the ink of their own love letters.They're the ones from my generation, the ones of us that have grown up into a world where everything is paperless, and where some of our best conversations have happened upon a screen.We have learned to diary our pain onto Facebook, and we speak swiftly in 140 characters or less.But what if it's not about efficiency this time? I was on the subway yesterday with this mail crate, which is a conversation starter, let me tell you.If you ever need one, just carry one of these.(Laughter)And a man just stared at me, and he was like, “Well, why don't you use the Internet?” And I thought, “Well, sir, I am not a strategist, nor am I specialist.I am merely a storyteller.” And so I could tell you about a woman whose husband has just come home from Afghanistan, and she is having a hard time unearthing this thing called conversation, and so she tucks love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me.Find me when you can.” Or a girl who decides that she is going to leave love letters around her campus in Dubuque, Iowa, only to find her efforts ripple-effected the ne_t day when she walks out onto the quad and finds love letters hanging from the trees, tucked in the bushes and the benches.Or the man who decides that he is going to take his life, uses Facebook as a way to say goodbye to friends and family.Well, tonight he sleeps safely with a stack of letters just like this one tucked beneath his pillow, scripted by strangers who were there for him when.These are the kinds of stories that convinced me that letter-writing will never again need to flip back her hair and talk about efficiency, because she is an art form now, all the parts of her, the signing, the scripting, the mailing, the doodles in the margins.The mere fact that somebody would even just sit down, pull out a piece of paper and think about someone the whole way through, with an intention that is so much harder to unearth when the browser is up and the iPhone is pinging and we've got si_ conversations rolling in at once, that is an art form that does not fall down to the Goliath of “get faster,” no matter how many social networks we might join.We still clutch close these letters to our chest, to the words that speak louder than loud, when we turn pages into palettes to say the things that we have needed to say, the words that we have needed to write, to sisters and brothers and even to strangers, for far too long.Thank you.(Applause)(Applause)

TED: 怎样从错误中学习

Diana Laugenberg: How to learn From mistakes

讲者分享了其多年从教中所认识到的一从错误中学习的观念“允许孩子失败，把失败视为学习的一部分”，以及从教育实践中学到的三件事：“1.体验学习的过程 2.倾听学生的声音 3.接纳错误的失败。”

TED演讲文本：

0:15

I have been teaching for a long time, and in doing so have acquired a body of knowledge aboutkids and learning that I really wish more people would understand about the potential ofstudents.In 1931, my grandmother--bottom left for you guys over here--graduated from theeighth grade.She went to school to get the information because that's where the informationlived.It was in the books;it was inside the teacher's head;and she needed to go there to getthe information, because that's how you learned.Fast-forward a generation: this is the one-roomschoolhouse, Oak Grove, where my father went to a one-room schoolhouse.And he again hadto travel to the school to get the information from the teacher, stored it in the only portablememory he has, which is inside his own head, and take it with him, because that is howinformation was being transported from teacher to student and then used in the world.When Iwas a kid, we had a set of encyclopedias at my house.It was purchased the year I was born,and it was extraordinary, because I did not have to wait to go to the library to get to theinformation.The information was inside my house and it was awesome.This was different thaneither generation had experienced before, and it changed the way I interacted with informationeven at just a small level.But the information was closer to me.I could get access to it.1:34

In the time that passes between when I was a kid in high school and when I started teaching,we really see the advent of the Internet.Right about the time that the Internet gets going as aneducational tool, I take off from Wisconsin and move to Kansas, small town Kansas, where Ihad an opportunity to teach in a lovely, small-town, rural Kansas school district, where I wasteaching my favorite subject, American government.My first year--super gung-ho--going toteach American government, loved the political system.Kids in the 12th grade: not exactly allthat enthusiastic about the American government system.Year two: learned a few things--hadto change my tactic.And I put in front of them an authentic experience that allowed them tolearn for themselves.I didn't tell them what to do or how to do it.I posed a problem in front ofthem, which was to put on an election forum for their own community.2:27

They produced flyers.They called offices.They checked schedules.They were meeting withsecretaries.They produced an election forum booklet for the entire town to learn more abouttheir candidates.They invited everyone into the school for an evening of conversation aboutgovernment and politics and whether or not the streets were done well, and really had thisrobust experiential learning.The older teachers--more experienced--looked at me and went,“Oh, there she is.That's so cute.She's trying to get that done.”(Laughter)

“She doesn't knowwhat she's in for.” But I knew that the kids would show up, and I believed it, and I told themevery week what I expected out of them.And that night, all 90 kids--dressed appropriately,doing their job, owning it.I had to just sit and watch.It was theirs.It was experiential.It wasauthentic.It meant something to them.And they will step up.3:17

From Kansas, I moved on to lovely Arizona, where I taught in Flagstaff for a number of years,this time with middle school students.Luckily, I didn't have to teach them American government.Could teach them the more exciting topic of geography.Again,“thrilled” to learn.But what wasinteresting about this position I found myself in in Arizona, was I had this really extraordinarilyeclectic group of kids to work with in a truly public school, and we got to have these momentswhere we would get these opportunities.And one opportunity was we got to go and meet PaulRusesabagina, which is the gentleman that the movie “Hotel Rwanda” is based after.And hewas going to speak at the high school next door to us.We could walk there.We didn't evenhave to pay for the buses.There was no expense cost.Perfect field trip.4:04

The problem then becomes how do you take seventh-and eighth-graders to a talk aboutgenocide and deal with the subject in a way that is responsible and respectful, and they knowwhat to do with it.And so we chose to look at Paul Rusesabagina as an example of a gentlemanwho singularly used his life to do something positive.I then challenged the kids to identifysomeone in their own life, or in their own story, or in their own world, that they could identify thathad done a similar thing.I asked them to produce a little movie about it.It's the first time we'ddone this.Nobody really knew how to make these little movies on the computer, but they wereinto it.And I asked them to put their own voice over it.It was the most awesome moment ofrevelation that when you ask kids to use their own voice and ask them to speak for themselves,what they're willing to share.The last question of the assignment is: how do you plan to useyour life to positively impact other peopleThe things that kids will say when you ask them andtake the time to listen is extraordinary.5:05

Fast-forward to Pennsylvania, where I find myself today.I teach at the Science LeadershipAcademy, which is a partnership school between the Franklin Institute and the school district ofPhiladelphia.We are a nine through 12 public school, but we do school quite differently.I movedthere primarily to be part of a learning environment that validated the way that I knew that kidslearned, and that really wanted to investigate what was possible when you are willing to let go ofsome of the paradigms of the past, of information scarcity when my grandmother was in schooland when my father was in school and even when I was in school, and to a moment when wehave information surplus.So what do you do when the information is all around youWhy doyou have kids come to school if they no longer have to come there to get the information

5:51

In Philadelphia we have a one-to-one laptop program, so the kids are bringing in laptops withthem everyday, taking them home, getting access to information.And here's the thing that youneed to get comfortable with when you've given the tool to acquire information to students, isthat you have to be comfortable with this idea of allowing kids to fail as part of the learningprocess.We deal right now in the educational landscape with an infatuation with the culture ofone right answer that can be properly bubbled on the average multiple choice test, and I amhere to share with you: it is not learning.That is the absolute wrong thing to ask, to tell kids tonever be wrong.To ask them to always have the right answer doesn't allow them to learn.Sowe did this project, and this is one of the artifacts of the project.I almost never show them offbecause of the issue of the idea of failure.6:45

My students produced these info-graphics as a result of a unit that we decided to do at the endof the year responding to the oil spill.I asked them to take the examples that we were seeing ofthe info-graphics that existed in a lot of mass media, and take a look at what were theinteresting components of it, and produce one for themselves of a different man-made disasterfrom American history.And they had certain criteria to do it.They were a little uncomfortablewith it, because we'd never done this before, and they didn't know exactly how to do it.Theycan talk--they're very smooth, and they can write very, very well, but asking them tocommunicate ideas in a different way was a little uncomfortable for them.But I gave them theroom to just do the thing.Go create.Go figure it out.Let's see what we can do.And thestudent that persistently turns out the best visual product did not disappoint.This was done inlike two or three days.And this is the work of the student that consistently did it.7:39

And when I sat the students down, I said, “Who's got the best one” And they immediatelywent, “There it is.” Didn't read anything.“There it is.” And I said,“Well what makes it great”And they're like,“Oh, the design's good, and he's using good color.And there's some...” Andthey went through all that we processed out loud.And I said, “Go read it.” And they're like, “Oh,that one wasn't so awesome.” And then we went to another one--it didn't have great visuals,but it had great information--and spent an hour talking about the learning process, because itwasn't about whether or not it was perfect, or whether or not it was what I could create.Itasked them to create for themselves, and it allowed them to fail, process, learn from.And whenwe do another round of this in my class this year, they will do better this time, because learninghas to include an amount of failure, because failure is instructional in the process.8:29

There are a million pictures that I could click through here, and had to choose carefully--this isone of my favorites--of students learning, of what learning can look like in a landscape wherewe let

go of the idea that kids have to come to school to get the information, but instead, askthem what they can do with it.Ask them really interesting questions.They will not disappoint.Ask them to go to places, to see things for themselves, to actually experience the learning, toplay, to inquire.This is one of my favorite photos, because this was taken on Tuesday, when Iasked the students to go to the polls.This is Robbie, and this was his first day of voting, and hewanted to share that with everybody and do that.But this is learning too, because we askedthem to go out into real spaces.9:20

The main point is that, if we continue to look at education as if it's about coming to school to getthe information and not about experiential learning, empowering student voice and embracingfailure, we're missing the mark.And everything that everybody is talking about today isn'tpossible if we keep having an educational system that does not value these qualities, becausewe won't get there with a standardized test, and we won't get there with a culture of one rightanswer.We know how to do this better, and it's time to do better.0:15

我从事教师工作很长一段时间了，而在我教书的过程当中 我学了很多关于孩子与学习的知识 我非常希望更多人可以了解 学生的潜能。1931年,我的祖母 从你们那边看过来左下角那位--从八年级毕业。她上学是去获取知识 因为在过去,那是知识存在的地方 知识在书本里,在老师的脑袋里，而她需要专程到学校去获得这些知识，因为那是当时学习的途径 快进过一代： 这是个只有一间教室的学校,Oak Grove，我父亲就是在这间只有一个教室的学校就读。而同样的,他不得不去上学 以从老师那儿取得知识，然后将这些知识储存在他唯一的移动内存,那就是他自己的脑袋里，然后将这些随身携带，因为这是过去知识被传递的方式 从老师传给学生,接着在世界上使用。当我还小的时候，我们家里有一套百科全书。从我一出生就买了这套书，而那是非常了不起的事情，因为我不需要等着去图书馆取得这些知识，这些信息就在我的屋子里 而那真是太棒了。这是 和过去相比,是非常不同的 这改变了我和信息互动的方式 即便改变的幅度很小。但这些知识却离我更近了。我可以随时获取它们。

1:34

在过去的这几年间 从我还在念高中 到我开始教书的时候，我们真的亲眼目睹网络的发展。就在网络开始 作为教学用的工具发展的时候，我离开威斯康辛州 搬到勘萨斯州,一个叫勘萨斯的小镇 在那里我有机会 在一个小而美丽的勘萨斯的乡村学区 教书，教我最喜欢的学科 “美国政府” 那是我教书的第一年,充满热情,准备教“美国政府” 我当时热爱教政治体系。这些十二年级的孩子 对于美国政府体系 并不完全充满热情。开始教书的第二年,我学到了一些事情,让我改变了教学方针。我提供他们一个真实体验的机会 让他们可以自主学习。我没有告诉他们得做什么,或是要怎么做。我只是在他们面前提出一个问题，要他们在自己的社区设立一个选举论坛。

2:27

他们散布传单,联络各个选举办公室，他们和秘书排定行程，他们设计了一本选举论坛手册 提供给全镇的镇民让他们更了解这些候选人。他们邀请所有的人到学校 参与晚上的座谈 谈论政府和政治 还有镇里的每条街是不是都修建完善，学生们真的得到强大的体验式学习。学校里比较资深年长的老师 看着我说 “喔,看她,多天真呀,竟想试着这么做。”(大笑)

“她不知道她把自己陷入怎么样的局面” 但我知道孩子们会出席 而我真的这样相信。每个礼拜我都对他们说我是如何期待他们的表现。而那天晚上,全部九十个孩子 每个人的穿戴整齐,各司其职,完全掌握论坛 我只需要坐在一旁看着。那是属于他们的夜晚,那是经验,那是实在的经验。那对他们来说具有意义。而他们将会更加努力。

3:17

离开堪萨斯后,我搬到美丽的亚利桑纳州，我在Flagstaff小镇教了几年书，这次是教初中的学生。幸运的,我这次不用教美国政治。这次我教的是更令人兴奋的地理。再一次,非常期待的要学习。但有趣的是 我发现在这个亚历桑纳州的教职 我所面对的 是一群非常多样化的,彼此之间差异悬殊的孩子们 在一所真正的公立学校。在那里,有些时候,我们会得到了一些机会。其中一个机会是 我们得以和Paul Russabagina见面，这位先生 正是电影“卢安达饭店”根据描述的那位主人翁 他当时正要到隔壁的高中演讲 我们可以步行到那所学校,我们甚至不用坐公共汽车 完全不需要额外的支出,非常完美的校外教学

4:04

然后接着的问题是 你要怎么和七八年级的学生谈论种族屠杀 用怎么样的方式来处理这个问题 才是一种负责任和尊重的方式，让学生们知道该怎么面对这个问题。所以我们决定去观察PaulRusesabagina是怎么做的 把他当作一个例子 一个平凡人如何利用自己的生命做些积极的事情的例子。接着,我挑战这些孩子,要他们去找出 在他们的.生命里,在他们自己的故事中,或是在他们自己的世界里，找出那些他们认为也做过类似事情的人。我要他们为这些人和事迹制作一部短片。这是我们第一次尝试制作短片。没有人真的知道如何利用电脑制作短片。但他们非常投入,我要他们在片子里用自己的声音。那实在是最棒的启发方式 当你要孩子们用他们自己的声音 当你要他们为自己说话，说那些他们愿意分享的故事。这项作业的最后一个问题是 你打算怎么利用你自己的生命 去正面的影响其他人 孩子们说出来的那些话 在你询问他们后并花时间倾听那些话后 是非常了不起的。

5:05

快进到宾州,我现在住的地方。我在科学领导学院教书，它是富兰克林学院 和费城学区协同的合办的。我们是一间9年级到12年级的公立高中，但我们的教学方式很不一样。我起初搬到那里 是为了亲身参与一个教学环境 一个可以证实我所理解孩子可以有效学习方式的方式，一个愿意探索 所有可能性的教学环境 当你愿意放弃 一些过去的标准模式，放弃我祖母和我父亲上学的那个年代 甚至是我自己念书的那个年代，因为信息的稀缺，到一个我们正处于信息过剩的时代。所以你该怎么处理那些环绕在四周的知识你为什么要孩子们来学校如果他们再也不需要特意到学校获得这些知识

5:51

在宾州,我们有一个人人有笔记本的项目，所以这些孩子每天带着他们笔记本电脑，带着电脑回家,随时学习知识。有一件事你需要学着适应的是 当你给了学生工具 让他们可以自主取得知识，你得适应一个想法 那就是允许孩子失败 把失败视为学习的一部分。我们现在面对教育大环境 带着一种 迷恋单一解答的文化 一种靠选择题折优的文化，而我在这里要告诉你们，这不是学习。这绝对是个错误 去要求孩子们永远不可以犯错。要求他们永远都要有正确的解答 而不允许他们去学习。所以我们实施了这个项目，这就是这个项目中一件作品。我几乎从来没有展示过这些 因为我们对于错误与失败的观念。

篇八：ted演讲稿

Why TED talks are better than the last speech you sat through

世上最好的演讲：TED演讲吸引人的秘密

Think about the last time you heard someone give a speech, or any formal presentation.Maybe it was so long that you were either overwhelmed with data, or you just tuned the speaker out.If PowerPoint was involved, each slide was probably loaded with at least 40 words or figures, and odds are that you don't remember more than a tiny bit of what they were supposed to show.回想一下你上次聆听某人发表演讲或任何正式陈述的情形。它也许太长了，以至于你被各种数据搞得头昏脑胀，甚或干脆不理会演讲者。如果演讲者使用了PPT文档，那么每张幻灯片很可能塞入了至少40个单词或数字，但你现在或许只记得一丁点内容。

Pretty uninspiring, huhTalk Like TED: 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of The World's Best Mindsexamines why in prose that's as lively and appealing as, well, a TED talk.Timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary in March of those now-legendary TED conferences, the book draws on current brain science to explain what wins over, and fires up, an audience--and what doesn't.Author Carmine Gallo also studied more than 500 of the most popular TED speeches(there have been about 1,500 so far)and interviewed scores of the people who gave them.相当平淡，是吧？《像TED那样演讲：全球顶级人才九大演讲秘诀》(Talk Like TED: 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of The World's Best Minds)一书以流畅的文笔审视了为什么TED演讲如此生动，如此引人入胜。出版方有意安排在今年3月份发行此书，以庆贺如今已成为经典的TED大会成立30周年。这部著作借鉴当代脑科学解释了什么样的演讲能够说服听众、鼓舞听众，什么样的演讲无法产生这种效果。

Much of what he found out is surprising.Consider, for instance, the fact that each TED talk is limited to 18 minutes.That might sound too short to convey much.Yet TED curator Chris Anderson imposed the time limit, he told Gallo, because it's “long enough to be serious and short enough to hold people's attention...By forcing speakers who are used to going on for 45 minutes to bring it down to 18, you get them to think about what they really want to say.” It's also the perfect length if you want your message to go viral, Anderson says.他挖出了不少令人吃惊的演讲策略。例如，每场TED演讲都被限制在18分钟以内。听起来太过短暂，似乎无法传达足够多讯息。然而，TED大会策办人克里斯安德森决议推行这项时间限制规则，因为“这个时间长度足够庄重，同时又足够短，能够吸引人们的注意力。通过迫使那些习惯于滔滔不绝讲上45分钟的嘉宾把演讲时间压缩至18分钟，你就可以让他们认真思考他们真正想说的话，”他对加洛说。此外，安德森说，如果你希望你的讯息像病毒般扩散，这也是一个完美的时间长度。

Recent neuroscience shows why the time limit works so well: People listening to a presentation are storing data for retrieval in the future, and too much information leads to “cognitive overload,” which gives rise to elevated levels of anxiety--meaning that, if you go on and on, your audience will start to resist you.Even worse, they won't recall a single point you were trying to make.最近的神经科学研究说明了为什么这项时间限制产生如此好的效果：聆听陈述的人们往往会存储相关数据，以备未来检索之用，而太多的信息会导致“认知超负荷”，进而推升听众的焦虑度。它意味着，如果你说个没完没了，听众就会开始抗拒你。更糟糕的是，他们不会记得你努力希望传递的信息点，甚至可能一个都记不住。

“Albert Einstein once said, 'If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough,'

” Gallo writes, adding that the physicist would have applauded astronomer David Christian who, at TED in 2011, narrated the complete history of the universe--and Earth's place in it--in 17 minutes and 40 seconds.“爱因斯坦曾经说过，‘要是你不能言简意赅地解释某种理论，那就说明你自己都还没有理解透彻，’”加罗写道。他还举例说，物理学家或许会大加赞赏天文学家大卫克里斯蒂安在2011年TED大会上发表的演讲。克里斯蒂安在这个演讲中完整地讲述了宇宙史及地球在宇宙的地位，整场演讲用时只有17分40秒。

Gallo offers some tips on how to boil a complex presentation down to 18 minutes or so, including what he calls the “rule of three,” or condensing a plethora of ideas into three main points, as many top TED talkers do.He also notes that, even if a speech just can't be squeezed down that far, the effort alone is bound to improve it: “Your presentation will be far more creative and impactful simply by going through the exercise.”

如何把一个复杂的陈述压缩至18分钟左右？加洛就这个问题提供了一些小建议，其中包括他所称的“三的法则”。具体说就是，把大量观点高度浓缩为三大要点。TED大会上的许多演讲高手就是这样做的。他还指出，即使一篇演讲无法提炼到这样的程度，单是这番努力也一定能改善演讲的效果：“仅仅通过这番提炼，你就可以大大增强陈述的创造性和影响力。”

Then there's PowerPoint.“TED represents the end of PowerPoint as we know it,” writes Gallo.He hastens to add that there's nothing wrong with PowerPoint as a tool, but that most speakers unwittingly make it work against them by cluttering up their slides with way too many words(40, on average)and numbers.另一个建议与PPT文档有关。“TED大会象征着我们所知的PPT文档正走向终结，”加洛写道。他随后又马上补充说，作为工具的PowerPoint本身并没有什么错，但大多数演讲者为他们的幻灯片塞进了太多的单词（平均40个）和数字，让这种工具不经意间带来了消极影响。

The remedy for that, based on the most riveting TED talks: If you must use slides, fill them with a lot more images.Once again, research backs this up, with something academics call the Picture Superiority Effect: Three days after hearing or reading a set of facts, most people will remember about 10% of the information.Add a photo or a drawing, and recall jumps to 65%.最吸引人的TED演讲为我们提供了一个补救策略：如果你必须使用幻灯片，务必记得要大量运用图像资源。这种做法同样有科学依据，它就是研究人员所称的“图优效应”(Picture Superiority Effect)：听到或读到一组事实三天后，大多数人会记得大约10%的信息。而添加一张照片或图片后，记忆率将跃升至65%。

One study, by molecular biologist John Medina at the University of Washington School of Medicine, found that not only could people recall more than 2,500 pictures with at least 90% accuracy several days later, but accuracy a whole year afterward was still at about 63%.华盛顿大学医学院(University of Washington School of Medicine)分子生物学家约翰梅迪纳主持的研究发现，几天后，人们能够回想起超过2,500张图片，准确率至少达到90%；一年后的准确率依然保持在63%左右。

That result “demolishes” print and speech, both of which were tested on the same group of subjects, Medina's study indicated, which is something worth bearing in mind for anybody hoping that his or her ideas will be remembered.梅迪纳的研究表明，这个结果“完胜”印刷品和演讲的记忆效果（由同一组受试者测试）。任何一位希望自己的思想被听众铭记在心的演讲者或许都应该记住这一点。

篇十：ted演讲稿30天新中英文

a few years ago, i felt like i was stuck in a rut, so i decided to follow in the footsteps of the great american philosopher, morgan spurlock, and try something new for 30 days.the idea is actually pretty simple.think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days.it turns out, 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit ― like watching the news ― from your life.

篇十一：ted演讲稿30天新中英文

there’s a few things i learned while doing these 30-day challenges.the first was, instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable.this was part of a challenge i did to take a picture everyday for a month.and i remember exactly where i was and what i was doing that day.i also noticed that as i started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew.i went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work ― for fun.even last year, i ended up hiking up mt.kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in africa.i would never have been that adventurous before i started my 30-day challenges.

篇十二：ted演讲稿30天新中英文

i also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days.have you ever wanted to write a novel? every november, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000 word novel from scratch in 30 days.it turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month.so i did.by the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you’ve written your words for the day.you might be sleep-deprived, but you’ll finish your novel.now is my book the next great american novel? no.i wrote it in a month.it’s awful.but for the rest of my life, if i meet john hodgman at a ted party, i don’t have to say, “i’m a computer scientist.” no, no, if i want to i can say, “i’m a novelist.”

TED英语演讲稿

I was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the P.O.box at the end of the day, and that was mainly because my mother has never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones in general.And so while other kids were BBM-ing their parents, I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter from home to see how the weekend had gone, which was a little frustrating when Grandma was in the hospital, but I was just looking for some sort of scribble, some unkempt cursive from my mother.And so when I moved to New York City after college and got completely sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of at the time.I wrote those same kinds of letters that my mother had written me for strangers, and tucked them all throughout the city, dozens and dozens of them.I left them everywhere, in cafes and in libraries, at the U.N., everywhere.I blogged about those letters and the days when they were necessary, and I posed a kind of crazy promise to the Internet: that if you asked me for a hand-written letter, I would write you one, no questions asked.Overnight, my inbox morphed into this harbor of heartbreak--a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me, a 22-year-old girl who barely even knew her own coffee order, to write them a love letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.Well, today I fuel a global organization that is fueled by those trips to the mailbox, fueled by the ways in which we can harness social media like never before to write and mail strangers letters when they need them most, but most of all, fueled by crates of mail like this one, my trusty mail crate, filled with the scriptings of ordinary people, strangers writing letters to other strangers not because they're ever going to meet and laugh over a cup of coffee, but because they have found one another by way of letter-writing.But, you know, the thing that always

They know each other more in the biblical sense as well.Message number three: Don't leave before you leave.I think there's a really deep irony to the fact that actions women are taking — and I see this all the time — with the objective of staying in the workforceactually lead to their eventually leaving.Here's what happens: We're all busy.Everyone's busy.A woman's busy.And she starts thinking about having a child, and from the moment she starts thinking about having a child, she starts thinking about making room for that child.“How am I going to fit this into everything else I'm doing?” And literally from that moment, she doesn't raise her hand anymore, she doesn't look for a promotion, she doesn't take on the new project, she doesn't say, “Me.I want to do that.” She starts leaning back.

篇十五：经典TED英语演讲稿

The problem is that — let's say she got pregnant that day, that day — nine months of pregnancy, three months of maternity leave, six months to catch your breath — Fast-forward two years, more often — and as I've seen it — women start thinking about this way earlier — when they get engaged, or married, when they start thinking about having a child, which can take a long time.One woman came to see me about this.She looked a little young.And I said, “So are you and your husband thinking about having a baby?” And she said, “Oh no, I'm not married.” She didn't even have a boyfriend.

篇十六：经典TED英语演讲稿

I think the cause is more complicated.I think, as a society, we put more pressure on our boys to succeedthan we do on our girls.I know men that stay home and work in the home to support wives with careers,and it's hard.When I go to the Mommy-and-Me stuff and I see the father there, I notice that the other mommies don't play with him.And that's a problem, because we have to make it as important a job,because it's the hardest job in the world to work inside the home, for people of both genders, if we're going to even things out and let women stay in the workforce.Studies show that households with equal earning and equal responsibility also have half the divorce rate.And if that wasn't good enough motivation for everyone out there, they also have more — how shall I say this on this stage?

篇十七：经典TED英语演讲稿

My generation really, sadly, is not going to change the numbers at the top.They're just not moving.We are not going to get to where 50 percent of the population — in my generation, there will not be 50 percent of [women] at the top of any industry.But I'm hopeful that future generations can.I think a world where half of our countries and our companies were run by women, would be a better world.It's not just because people would know where the women's bathrooms are, even though that would be very helpful.I think it would be a better world.I have two children.I have a five-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter.I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home, and I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.

篇十八：经典TED英语演讲稿

I said, “You're thinking about this just way too early.” But the point is that what happens once you start kind of quietly leaning back? Everyone who's been through this — and I'm here to tell you, once you have a child at home, your job better be really good to go back, because it's hard to leave that kid at home.Your job needs to be challenging.It needs to be rewarding.You need to feel like you're making a difference.And if two years ago you didn't take a promotion and some guy next to you did, if three years ago you stopped looking for new opportunities,you're going to be bored because you should have kept your foot on the gas pedal.Don't leave before you leave.Stay in.Keep your foot on the gas pedal, until the very day you need to leave to take a break for a child — and then make your decisions.Don't make decisions too far in advance, particularly ones you're not even conscious you're making.

TED英语演讲稿

When you are a kid, you get asked this one particular question a lot, it really gets kind of annoying.What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, adults are hoping for answers like, I want to be an astronaut or I want to be a neurosurgeon, you’re adults in your imaginations.Kids, they’re most likely to answer with pro-skateboarder, surfer or minecraft player.I asked my little brother, and he said, seriously dude, I’m 10, I have no idea, probably a pro-skier, let’s go get some ice cream.See, us kids are going to answer something we’re stoked on, what we think is cool, what we have experience with, and that’s typically the opposite of what adults want to hear.But if you ask a little kid, sometimes you’ll get the best answer, something so simple, so obvious and really profound.When I grow up, I want to be happy.For me, when I grow up, I want to continue to be happy like I am now.I’m stoked to be here at TedEx, I mean, I’ve been watching Ted videos for as long as I can remember, but I never thought I’d make it on the stage here so soon.I mean, I just became a teenager, and like most teenage boys, I spend most of my time wondering, how did my room get so messy all on its own.Did I take a shower today? And the most perplexing of all, how do I get girls to like me? Neurosciences say that the teenage brain is pretty weird, our prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped, but we actually have more neurons than adults, which is why we can be so creative, and impulsive and moody and get bummed out.But what bums me out is to know that, a lot of kids today are just wishing to be happy, to be healthy, to be safe, not bullied, and be loved for who they are.So it seems to me when adults say, what do you want to be when you grow up? They just assume that you’ll automatically be happy and healthy.Well, maybe that’s not the case, go to school, go to college, get a job, get married, boom, then you’ll be happy, right? You don’t seem to make learning how to be happy and healthy a priority in our schools, it’s separate from schools.And for some kids, it doesn’t exists at all? But what if we didn’t make it separate? What if we based education on the study and practice of being happy and healthy, because that’s what it is, a practice, and a simple practice at that?

Education is important, but why is being happy and healthy not considered education, I just don’t get it.So I’ve been studying the science of being happy and healthy.It really comes down to practicing these eight things.Exercise, diet and nutrition, time in nature, contribution, service to others, relationships, recreation, relaxation and stress management, and religious or spiritual involvement, yes, got that one.So these eight things come from Dr.Roger Walsh, he calls them Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes or TLCs for short.He is a scientist that studies how to be happy and healthy.In researching this talk, I got a chance to ask him a few questions like;do you think that our schools today are making these eight TLCs a priority? His response was no surprise, it was essentially no.But he did say that many people do try to get this kind of education outside of the traditional arena, through reading and practices such as meditation or yoga.But what I thought was his best response was that, much of education is oriented for better or worse towards making a living rather than making a life.In 2006, Sir Ken Robinson gave the most popular Ted talk of all time.Schools kill creativity.His message is that creativity is as important as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.A lot of parents watched those videos, some of those parents like mine counted it as one of the reasons they felt confident to pull their kids from traditional school to try something different.I realized I’m part of this small, but growing revolution of kids who are going about their education differently, and you know what? It freaks a lot of people out.Even though I was only nine, when my parents pulled me out of the school system, I can still remember my mom being in tears when some of her friends told her she was crazy and it was a stupid idea.Looking back, I’m thankful she didn’t cave to peer pressure, and I think she is too.So, out of the 200 million people that have watched Sir Ken Robinson’s talk, why aren’t there more kids like me out there?

Shane McConkey is my hero.I loved him because he was the world’s best skier.But then, one day I realized what I really loved about Shane, he was a hacker.Not a computer hacker, he hacked skiing.His creativity and inventions made skiing what it is today, and why I love to ski.A lot of people think of hackers as geeky computer nerds who live in their parent’s basement and spread computer viruses, but I don’t see it that way.Hackers are innovators, hackers are people who challenge and change the systems to make them work differently, to make them work better, it’s just how they think, it’s a mindset.I’m growing up in a world that needs more people with the hacker mindset, and not just for technology, everything is up for being hacked, even skiing, even education.So whether it’s Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg or Shane McConkey having the hacker mindset can change the world.Healthy, happy, creativity in the hacker mindset are all a large part of my education.I call it Hackschooling, I don’t use any one particular curriculum, and I’m not dedicated to any one particular approach, I hack my education.I take advantage of opportunities in my community, and through a network of my friends and family.I take advantage of opportunities to experience what I’m learning, and I’m not afraid to look for shortcuts or hacks to get a better faster result.It’s like a remix or a mash-up of learning.It’s flexible, opportunistic, and it never loses sight of making happy, healthy and creativity a priority.And here is the cool part, because it’s a mindset, not a system.Hackschooling can be used anyone, even traditional schools.Soo what does my school look like? Well, it looks like Starbucks a lot of the time, but like most kids I study lot of math, science, history and writing.I didn’t used to like to write because my teachers made me write about butterflies and rainbows, and I wanted to write about skiing.It was a relief for my good friend’s mom, started the Squaw Valley Kids Institute, where I got to write through my experiences and my interests, while, connecting with great speakers from around the nation, and that sparked my love of writing.I realized that once you’re motivated to learn something, you can get a lot done in a short amount of time, and on your own, Starbucks is pretty great for that.Hacking physics was fun, we learned all about Newton and Galileo, and we experienced some basic physics concepts like kinetic energy through experimenting and making mistakes.My favorite was the giant Newton’s cradle that we made out of bowling balls, no bocce balls.We experimented with lot of other things like bowling balls and event giant jawbreakers.Project Discovery’s ropes course is awesome, and slightly stressful.When you’re 60 feet off the ground, you have to learn how to handle your fears, communicate clearly, and most importantly, trust each other.Community organizations play a big part in my education, High Fives Foundation’s Basics Program being aware and safe in critical situations.We spent a day with the Squaw Valley Ski Patrol to learn more about mountain safety, then the next day we switched to science of snow, weather and avalanches.But most importantly, we learned that making bad decisions puts you and your friends at risk.Young should talk, well brings history to life.You study a famous character in history, and so that you can stand on stage and perform as that character, and answer any question about their lifetime.In this photo, you see Al Capone and Bob Marley getting grilled with questions at the historical Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City, the same stage where Harry Houdini got his start.Time and nature is really important to me, it’s calm, quiet and I get to just log out of reality.I spend one day a week, outside all day.At my Fox Walkers classes, our goal is to be able to survive in the wilderness with just a knife.We learn to listen to nature, we learn to sense our surroundings, and I’ve gained a spiritual connection to nature that, I never knew existed.But the best part is that we get to make spears, bows and arrows, fires with just a bow drill and survival shelters for the snowy nights when we camp out.Hanging out at the Moment Factory where they hand make skis and design clothes, has really inspired me to one day have my own business.The guys at the factory showed me why I need to be good at math, be creative and get good at selling.So I got an internship at Big Shark Print to get better at design and selling.Between fetching lunch, scrubbing toilets and breaking their vacuum cleaner, I’m getting to contribute to clothing design, customizing hats and selling them.The people who work there are happy, healthy, creative, and stoked to be doing what they are doing, this is by far my favorite class.So, this is why I’m really happy, powder days, and it’s a good metaphor for my life, my education, my hackschooling.If everyone ski this mountain, like most people think of education, everyone will be skiing the same line, probably the safest and most of the powder would go untouched.I look at this, and see a thousand possibilities, dropping the corners, shredding the spine, looking for a churning from cliff-to-cliff.Skiing to me is freedom, and so is my education, it’s about being creative;doing things differently, it’s about community and helping each other.It’s about being happy and healthy among my very best friends.So I’m starting to think, I know what I might want to do when I grow up, but if you ask me what do I want to be when I grow up? I’ll always know that I want to be happy.Thank you.

篇二十一：简短的ted演讲稿

布琳.布朗致力于研究人与人的关系--我们感同身受的能力、获得归属感的能力、爱的能力。在TED休斯敦一次富有感染力的幽默谈话中，她跟我们分享了她的研究发现，一个让她更想深入了解自己以及人类的发现，洞悉人性也更了解自己。同时建议父母，全心全意去爱，即使没有回报、即使很困难，也要勇敢面对，因为感到脆弱代表我还活着，我们要相信自己够好，绝对值得被爱。

那我就这么开始吧： 几年前，一个活动策划人打电话给我，因为我当时要做一个演讲。她在电话里说： “我真很苦恼该如何在宣传单上 介绍你。” 我心想，怎么会苦恼呢? 她继续道：“你看，我听过你的演讲，我觉得我可以称你为研究者，可我担心的是，如果我这么称呼你，没人会来听，因为大家普遍认为研究员很无趣而且脱离现实。”(笑声)好。然后她说：“但是我喜欢你的演讲，就跟讲故事一样很吸引人。我想来想去，还是觉得称你为讲故事的人比较妥当。” 而那个做学术的，感到不安的我 脱口而出道：“你要叫我什么?” 她说：“我要称你为讲故事的人。“ 我心想：”为什么不干脆叫魔法小精灵?“(笑声)我说：”让我考虑一下。“ 我试着鼓起勇气。我对自己说，我是一个讲故事的人。我是一个从事定性研究的科研人员。我收集故事;这就是我的工作。或许故事就是有灵魂的数据。或许我就是一个讲故事的人。于是我说：”听着，要不你就称我为做研究兼讲故事的人。“ 她说：”哈哈，没这么个说法呀。“(笑声)所以我是个做研究兼讲故事的人，我今天想跟大家谈论的--我们要谈论的话题是关于拓展认知--我想给你们讲几个故事 是关于我的一份研究的，这份研究从本质上拓宽了我个人的认知，也确确实实改变了我生活、爱、工作还有教育孩子的方式。

我的故事从这里开始。当我还是个年轻的博士研究生的时候，第一年，有位研究教授 对我们说： ”事实是这样的，如果有一个东西你无法测量，那么它就不存在。“ 我心想他只是在哄哄我们这些小孩子吧。我说：“真的么?” 他说：“当然。” 你得知道 我有一个社会工作的学士文凭，一个社会工作的硕士文凭，我在读的是一个社会工作的博士文凭，所以我整个学术生涯 都被人所包围，他们大抵相信 生活是一团乱麻，接受它。而我的观点则倾向于，生活是一团乱麻，解开它，把它整理好，再归类放入便当盒里。(笑声)我觉得我领悟到了关键，有能力去创一番事业，让自己--真的，社会工作的一个重要理念是 置身于工作的不适中。我就是要把这不适翻个底朝天 每科都拿到A。这就是我当时的信条。我当时真的是跃跃欲试。我想这就是我要的职业生涯，因为我对乱成一团，难以处理的课题感兴趣。我想要把它们弄清楚。我想要理解它们。我想侵入那些 我知道是重要的东西 把它们摸透，然后用浅显易懂的方式呈献给每一个人。

所以我的起点是“关系”。因为当你从事了20xx年的社会工作，你必然会发现 关系是我们活着的原因。它赋予了我们生命的意义。就是这么简单。无论你跟谁交流 工作在社会执法领域的也好，负责精神健康、虐待和疏于看管领域的也好 我们所知道的是，关系 是种感应的能力--生物神经上，我们是这么被设定的--这就是为什么我们在这儿。所以我就从关系开始。下面这个场景我们再熟悉不过了，你的上司给你作工作评估，她告诉了你37点你做得相当棒的地方，还有一点--成长的空间?(笑声)然后你满脑子都想着那一点成长的空间，不是么。这也是我研究的一个方面，因为当你跟人们谈论爱情，他们告诉你的是一件让他们心碎的事。当你跟人们谈论归属感，他们告诉你的是最让他们痛心的 被排斥的经历。当你跟人们谈论关系，他们跟我讲的是如何被断绝关系的故事。

所以很快的--在大约开始研究这个课题6周以后--我遇到了这个前所未闻的东西 它揭示了关系 以一种我不理解也从没见过的方式。所以我暂停了原先的研究计划，对自己说，我得弄清楚这到底是什么。它最终被鉴定为耻辱感。耻辱感很容易理解，即害怕被断绝关系。有没有一些关于我的事 如果别人知道了或看到了，会认为我不值得交往。我要告诉你们的是： 这种现象很普遍;我们都会有(这种想法)。没有体验过耻辱的人 不具有人类的同情或关系。没人想谈论自己的糗事，你谈论的越少，你越感到可耻。滋生耻辱感的 是一种“我不够好.”的心态--我们都知道这是个什么滋味： ”我不够什么。我不够苗条，不够有钱，不够漂亮，不够聪明，职位不够高。“ 而支撑这种心态的 是一种刻骨铭心的脆弱，关键在于 要想产生关系，我们必须让自己被看见，真真切切地被看见。

你知道我怎么看待脆弱。我恨它。所以我思考着，这次是轮到我 用我的标尺击溃它的时候了。我要闯进去，把它弄清楚，我要花一年的时间，彻底瓦解耻辱，我要搞清楚脆弱是怎么运作的，然后我要智取胜过它。所以我准备好了，非常兴奋。跟你预计的一样，事与愿违。(笑声)你知道这个(结果)。我能告诉你关于耻辱的很多东西，但那样我就得占用别人的时间了。但我在这儿可以告诉你，归根到底--这也许是我学到的最重要的东西 在从事研究的数十年中。我预计的一年 变成了六年，成千上万的故事，成百上千个采访，焦点集中。有时人们发给我期刊报道，发给我他们的故事--不计其数的数据，就在这六年中。我大概掌握了它。

我大概理解了这就是耻辱，这就是它的运作方式。我写了本书，我出版了一个理论，但总觉得哪里不对劲--它其实是，如果我粗略地把我采访过的人 分成 具有自我价值感的人--说到底就是 自我价值感--他们勇于去爱并且拥有强烈的归属感--另一部分则是为之苦苦挣扎的人，总是怀疑自己是否足够好的人。区分那些 敢于去爱 并拥有强烈归属感的人 和那些为之而苦苦挣扎的人的变量只有一个。那就是，那些敢于去爱 并拥有强烈归属感的人 相信他们值得被爱，值得享有归属感。就这么简单。他们相信自己的价值。而对于我，那个阻碍人与人之间关系的最困难的部分 是我们对于自己不值得享有这种关系的恐惧，无论从个人，还是职业上 我都觉得我有必要去更深入地了解它。所以接下来 我找出所有的采访记录 找出那些体现自我价值的，那些持有这种观念的记录，集中研究它们。

这群人有什么共同之处? 我对办公用品有点痴迷，但这是另一个话题了。我有一个牛皮纸文件夹，还有一个三福极好笔，我心想，我该怎么给这项研究命名呢? 第一个蹦入我脑子的是 全心全意这个词。这是一群全心全意，靠着一种强烈的自我价值感在生活的人们。所以我在牛皮纸夹的上端这样写道，而后我开始查看数据。事实上，我开始是 用四天时间 集中分析数据，我从头找出那些采访，找出其中的故事和事件。主题是什么?有什么规律? 我丈夫带着孩子离开了小镇，因为我老是陷入像杰克逊.波洛克(美国近代抽象派画家)似的疯狂状态，我一直在写，完全沉浸在研究的状态中。下面是我的发现。这些人的共同之处在于 勇气。我想在这里先花一分钟跟大家区分一下勇气和胆量。勇气，最初的定义，当它刚出现在英文里的时候--是从拉丁文cor，意为心，演变过来的--最初的定义是 真心地叙述一个故事，告诉大家你是谁的。所以这些人 就具有勇气 承认自己不完美。他们具有同情心，先是对自己的，再是对他人的，因为，事实是，我们如果不能善待自己，我们也无法善待他人。最后一点，他们都能和他人建立关系，--这是很难做到的--前提是他们必须坦诚，他们愿意放开自己设定的那个理想的自我 以换取真正的自我，这是赢得关系的 必要条件。

他们还有另外一个共同之处 那就是，他们全然接受脆弱。他们相信 让他们变得脆弱的东西 也让他们变得美丽。他们不认为脆弱 是寻求舒适，也不认为脆弱是钻心的疼痛--正如我之前在关于耻辱的采访中听到的。他们只是简单地认为脆弱是必须的。他们会谈到愿意 说出“我爱你”，愿意 做些 没有的事情，愿意 等待医生的电话，在做完乳房X光检查之后。他们愿意为情感投资，无论有没有结果。他们觉得这些都是最根本的。

我当时认为那是背叛。我无法相信 我尽然对科研宣誓效忠--研究的定义是 控制(变量)然后预测，去研究现象，为了一个明确的目标，去控制并预测。而我现在的使命 即控制并预测 却给出了这样一个结果：要想与脆弱共存 就得停止控制，停止预测 于是我崩溃了--(笑声)--其实更像是这样。(笑声)它确实是。我称它为崩溃，我的心理医生称它为灵魂的觉醒。灵魂的觉醒当然比精神崩溃要好听很多，但我跟你说那的确是精神崩溃。然后我不得不暂且把数据放一边，去求助心理医生。让我告诉你：你知道你是谁 当你打电话跟你朋友说：“我觉得我需要跟人谈谈。你有什么好的.建议吗?“ 因为我大约有五个朋友这么回答： ”喔。我可不想当你的心理医生。“(笑声)我说：”这是什么意思?“ 他们说：”我只是想说，别带上你的标尺来见我。“ 我说：”行。“

就这样我找到了一个心理医生。我跟她，戴安娜，的第一次见面--我带去了一份表单 上面都是那些全身心投入生活的人的生活方式，然后我坐下了。她说：”你好吗?“ 我说：”我很好。还不赖。“ 她说：”发生了什么事?“ 这是一个治疗心理医生的心理医生，我们不得不去看这些心理医生，因为他们的废话测量仪很准(知道你什么时候在说真心话)。(笑声)所以我说： “事情是这样的。我很纠结。” 她说：“你纠结什么?” 我说：”嗯，我跟脆弱过不去。而且我知道脆弱是 耻辱和恐惧的根源 是我们为自我价值而挣扎的根源，但它同时又是 欢乐，创造性，归属感，爱的源泉。所以我觉得我有问题，我需要帮助。“ 我补充道：”但是，这跟家庭无关，跟童年无关。“(笑声)“我只需要一些策略。”(笑声)(掌声)谢谢。戴安娜的反应是这样的。(笑声)我接着说：“这很糟糕，对么?” 她说：“这不算好，也不算坏。”(笑声)“它本身就是这样。” 我说：“哦，我的天，要悲剧了。”

(笑声)

(悲剧)果然发生了，但又没有发生。大概有一年的时间。你知道的，有些人 当他们发现脆弱和温柔很重要的时候，他们放下所有戒备，欣然接受。(我要声明)一，这不是我，二，我朋友里面也没有这样的人。(笑声)对我来说，那是长达一年的斗争。是场激烈的混战。脆弱打我一拳，我又还击它一拳。最后我输了，但我或许赢回了我的生活。

然后我再度投入到了我的研究中，又花了几年时间 真正试图去理解那些全身心投入生活的人，他们做了怎样的决定，他们是如何应对 脆弱的。为什么我们为之痛苦挣扎? 我是独自在跟脆弱斗争吗? 不是。这是我学到的： 我们麻痹脆弱--(例如)当我们等待(医生)电话的时候。好笑的是，我在Twitter微博和Facebook上发布了一条状态，“你怎样定义脆弱? 什么会让你感到脆弱?“ 在1个半小时内，我收到了150条回复。因为我想知道 大家都是怎么想的。(回复中有)不得不请求丈夫帮忙，因为我病了，而且我们刚结婚;跟丈夫提出要爱;跟妻子提出要爱;被拒绝;约某人出来;等待医生的答复;被裁员;裁掉别人--这就是我们生活的世界。我们活在一个脆弱的世界里。我们应对的方法之一 是麻痹脆弱。

我觉得这不是没有依据--这也不是依据存在的唯一理由，我认为我们当代问题的一大部分都可以归咎于它--在美国历史上，我们是欠债最多，肥胖，毒瘾、用药最为严重 的一代。问题是--我从研究中认识到--你无法选择性地麻痹感情。你不能说，这些是不好的。这是脆弱，这是悲哀，这是耻辱，这是恐惧，这是失望，我不想要这些情感。我要去喝几瓶啤酒，吃个香蕉坚果松饼。(笑声)我不想要这些情感。我知道台下传来的是会意的笑声。别忘了，我是靠“入侵”你们的生活过日子的。天哪。(笑声)你无法只麻痹那些痛苦的情感 而不麻痹所有的感官，所有的情感。你无法有选择性地去麻痹。当我们麻痹那些(消极的情感)，我们也麻痹了欢乐，麻痹了感恩，麻痹了幸福。然后我们会变得痛不欲生，我们继而寻找生命的意义，然后我们感到脆弱，然后我们喝几瓶啤酒，吃个香蕉坚果松饼。危险的循环就这样这形成了。

我们需要思考的一件事是 我们是为什么，怎么样麻痹自己的。这不一定是指吸毒。我们麻痹自己的另一个方式是 把不确定的事变得确定。宗教已经从一种信仰、一种对不可知的相信 变成了确定。我是对的，你是错的。闭嘴。就是这样。只要是确定的就是好的。我们越是害怕，我们就越脆弱，然后我们变得愈加害怕。这件就是当今政治的现状。探讨已经不复存在。对话已经荡然无存。有的仅仅是指责。你知道研究领域是如何描述指责的吗? 一种发泄痛苦与不快的方式。我们追求完美。如果有人想这样塑造他的生活，那个人就是我，但这行不通。因为我们做的只是把屁股上的赘肉 挪到我们的脸上。(笑声)这真是，我希望一百年以后，当人们回过头来会不禁感叹：”哇!“

(笑声)

我们想要，这是最危险的，我们的孩子变得完美。让我告诉你我们是如何看待孩子的。从他们出生的那刻起，他们就注定要挣扎。当你把这些完美的宝宝抱在怀里的时候，我们的任务不是说：”看看她，她完美的无可挑剔。“ 而是确保她保持完美--保证她五年级的时候可以进网球队，七年级的时候稳进耶鲁。那不是我们的任务。我们的任务是注视着她，对她说，“你知道吗?你并不完美，你注定要奋斗，但你值得被爱，值得享有归属感。” 这才是我们的职责。给我看用这种方式培养出来的一代孩子，我保证我们今天有的问题会得到解决。我们假装我们的行为 不会影响他人。不仅在我们个人生活中我们这么做，在工作中也一样--无论是紧急救助，石油泄漏，还是产品召回--我们假装我们做的事 对他人不会造成什么大影响。我想对这些公司说：嘿，这不是我们第一次牛仔竞技。我们只要你坦诚地，真心地 说一句：“对不起，我们会处理这个问题。“

但还有一种方法，我把它留给你们。这是我的心得： 卸下我们的面具，让我们被看见，深入地被看见，即便是脆弱的一面;全心全意地去爱，尽管没有任何担保--这是最困难的，我也可以告诉你，作为一名家长，这个非常非常困难--带着一颗感恩的心，保持快乐 哪怕是在最恐惧的时候 哪怕我们怀疑：”我能不能爱得这么深? 我能不能如此热情地相信这份感情? 我能不能如此矢志不渝?“ 在消极的时候能打住，而不是一味地幻想事情会如何变得更糟，对自己说：”我已经很感恩了，因为能感受到这种脆弱，这意味着我还活着。“ 最后，还有最重要的一点，那就是相信我们已经做得够好了。因为我相信当我们在一个 让人觉得“我已经足够了”的环境中打拼的时候 我们会停止抱怨，开始倾听，我们会对周围的人会更友善，更温和，对自己也会更友善，更温和。

这就是我演讲的全部内容。谢谢大家。

(掌声)

篇二十二：简短的ted演讲稿

在东京的这个学校，五岁大的孩子们能引发拥堵，窗户是留给圣诞老人爬进来的。让我们来看看：世界上最可爱的幼儿园，由建筑师Takaharu Tezuka所设计。在这段演讲中，他向我们讲述了这一设计的由来以及它如何真正让孩子们的天性得到解放。

这是我们在20xx年设计的一个幼儿园。我们把它建成了一个环形。在屋顶上面，是一个无尽的循环。如果你是一名家长, 你就知道，小孩儿们喜欢不停的转圈。那么这就是房顶的样子。

为什么我们要把它设计成这样呢? 这家幼儿园的园长说： ”不，我不想要护栏。” 我说：“那不可能。” 但他坚持说：“那要不......就在屋顶边做一圈向外延伸的防护网? 这样它就能接住跌落的小孩儿?“(笑声)我说：“那不可能。”

然后，当然，政府的官员告诉我： “当然，你必须得有护栏。” 但我们还是可以把那个防护网的 想法在树上实现。那儿有三棵从屋顶穿出的树。我们被允许用绳索当作护栏。但是，当然，绳索对小孩儿来说根本没用。他们会故意掉进去。然后更多人掉进去，还有更多，更多……(笑声)有时会有40个小孩儿 同时围着树一起玩儿。那个爬在树枝上的男孩儿，他很爱这棵树，一直在不停的啃树皮。(笑声)

当幼儿园里搞活动的时候，他们就坐在围栏的边缘(观看)。这画面从下面看起来很美。简直就是动物园里的猴子。(笑声)喂食时间到～(笑声)(鼓掌)

我们把房顶尽量做得低矮，因为我们想让孩子们在屋顶上玩，而不是缩在屋檐下。如果房顶太高，你看到的就只有天花板了。

还有洗脚的地方—— 那儿有很多种水龙头。你可以看到，有弹性的软管… 让人忍不住想用它往朋友身上喷水玩，还有淋浴的喷头… 还有前面的这种… 是很普通的水龙头。但是如果你仔细看，这小男孩其实并没在洗他的靴子，他是在往靴子里灌水……(笑声)

这家幼儿园完全是开放的，几乎整年都开放着。它的内部和外部之间，没有明确的界限。因此，这意味着，基本上，这个建筑，就只有一个屋顶。同样的，它的教室之间也没有界限。所以那里没有任何听觉上的阻碍。要知道，如果你把很多小孩 放进一个安静的封闭空间，他们中的一些人会变得非常紧张。但在这个幼儿园里，他们没有任何理由去紧张。因为到处都没有界限。

他们的园长说，如果角落里的那个男孩儿 不想呆在教室里，我们就放他走。他最终会回来的，因为这是个圆，他会转回来的。(笑声)

最关键的是，通常在这种情况下，小孩儿会试图藏在某个地方。但在这里，他们走掉之后，就只能绕一圈回来。这是个自然的过程。

其次，我们认为，噪音是非常重要的。你得知道，小孩儿 在噪音里睡得更香。他们是不会在安静的空间里睡着的。在这家幼儿园里，孩子们在课堂里 表现出惊人的注意力。大家知道，我们人类原本就是在 那种充满噪音的丛林里长大的。——他们需要噪音。你还能够在嘈杂的酒吧里跟朋友聊天。你本来就能够适应嘈杂的环境。

当今时代，我们一直在尝试要控制所有的事情。但在这里，它是完全开放的。你们也应该知道： 我们能在零下二十度的冬天滑雪。夏天，你去游泳 海边的沙子高达50摄氏度。我们就是这样适应环境的。而且我们人类是防水的。不可能因为一场雨就融化了。所以，我们认为小孩儿就该呆在室外。这才是我们对待他们的正确方式。

这是他们分隔教室的方式。他们本来应该帮助老师的。但…他们没有…(笑声)不是我把他放进去的…… 这就是教室了。还有洗手池。他们在水池边聊天。而且教室里总是有一些树的…… 一只猴子想要把 另一只猴子钓上去。(笑声)看，猴子们。(笑声)每个教室都至少有一个天窗。这样在圣诞节的时候，圣诞老人才有地方爬下来。

这是幼儿园的附属建筑，就建在那个椭圆形幼儿园的旁边。这个建筑只有5米高，可是里面设计了7层的空间。当然，这导致它的天花板非常矮。因此我们不得不考虑安全问题。所以，我们放了两个孩子进去，一个女孩儿，一个男孩儿。他们努力地钻进去。他撞到头了。他没事。他的骨头很硬。他适应能力很强的。因为这是我儿子。(笑声)他还在试着看 能不能安全地跳下去。然后我们放了更多孩子进去。

东京的堵车太糟糕了，你懂的。(笑声)前面那个司机，她还得好好学学开车。在这个年代，孩子们需要接触一些轻微的危险。因为在这种状况下，他们就会学会互相帮助。这就是社会。这些(教育)机会 正是我们如今逐渐丧失的。

现在看这幅图，它展现了一个男孩 在9:10到9:30之间的运动轨迹。这栋建筑的周长是183米。它真的已经不能算小了!所以这个男孩，一早上就运动了6000米。最令人惊讶的还不止这个。这家幼儿园里的孩子们平均运动距离是4000米。与大多数幼儿园相比，这里的孩子有着最高的运动能力。园长说了： “我们不需要督促他们进行户外锻炼。把他们放到屋顶上就行。就像放羊一样。“(笑声)他们就会不停地跑啊跑。(笑声)

我的观念就是，不要去“控制”他们，也不要过多地“保护”他们，——他们有时也需要摔倒，也需要受点伤。这样他们就会从中学到 如何在这个世界上生存。我认为，建筑可以改变这个世界，可以改变人们的生活。这座幼儿园，就是其中一个尝试，它改变了孩子们的生活。

非常感谢。

篇二十三：TED英语演讲稿

So for any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we're lucky.We don't live in the world our mothers lived in, our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited.And if you're in this room today, most of us grew up in a world where we have basic civil rights, and amazingly, we still live in a world where some women don't have them.But all that aside, we still have a problem,and it's a real problem.And the problem is this: Women are not making it to the top of any professionanywhere in the world.The numbers tell the story quite clearly.190 heads of state — nine are women.Of all the people in parliament in the world, 13 percent are women.In the corporate sector, women at the top, C-level jobs, board seats — tops out at 15, 16 percent.The numbers have not moved since 2002and are going in the wrong direction.And even in the non-profit world, a world we sometimes think of as being led by more women, women at the top: 20 percent.

篇二十四：TED英语演讲稿

We also have another problem, which is that women face harder choices between professional success and personal fulfillment.A recent study in the U.S.showed that, of married senior managers, two-thirds of the married men had children and only one-third of the married women had children.A couple of years ago, I was in New York, and I was pitching a deal, and I was in one of those fancy New York private equity offices you can picture.And I'm in the meeting — it's about a three-hour meeting — and two hours in, there needs to be that bio break, and everyone stands up, and the partner running the meeting starts looking really embarrassed.And I realized he doesn't know where the women's room is in his office.So I start looking around for moving boxes, figuring they just moved in, but I don't see any.And so I said, “Did you just move into this office?” And he said, “No, we've been here about a year.” And I said, “Are you telling me that I am the only woman to have pitched a deal in this office in a year?” And he looked at me, and he said, “Yeah.Or maybe you're the only one who had to go to the bathroom.”So the question is, how are we going to fix this? How do we change these numbers at the top? How do we make this different?

篇二十五：TED英语演讲稿

I know no women, whether they're at home or whether they're in the workforce,who don't feel that sometimes.So I'm not saying that staying in the workforce is the right thing for everyone.My talk today is about what the messages are if you do want to stay in the workforce, and I think there are three.One, sit at the table.Two, make your partner a real partner.And three, don't leave before you leave.Number one: sit at the table.Just a couple weeks ago at Facebook, we hosted a very senior government official, and he came in to meet with senior execs from around Silicon Valley.And everyone kind of sat at the table.He had these two women who were traveling with him pretty senior in his department, and I kind of said to them, “Sit at the table.Come on, sit at the table,” and they sat on the side of the room.When I was in college, my senior year, I took a course called European Intellectual History.Don't you love that kind of thing from college?

篇二十六：TED英语演讲稿

I wish I could do that now.And I took it with my roommate, Carrie, who was then a brilliant literary student — and went on to be a brilliant literary scholar — and my brother — smart guy, but a water-polo-playing pre-med, who was a sophomore.The three of us take this class together.And then Carrie reads all the books in the original Greek and Latin, goes to all the lectures.I read all the books in English and go to most of the lectures.My brother is kind of busy.He reads one book of 12 and goes to a couple of lectures, marches himself up to our rooma couple days before the exam to get himself tutored.The three of us go to the exam together, and we sit down.And we sit there for three hours — and our little blue notebooks — yes, I'm that old.We walk out, we look at each other, and we say, “How did you do?” And Carrie says, “Boy, I feel like I didn't really draw out the main point on the Hegelian dialectic.” And I say, “God, I really wish I had really connected John Locke's theory of property with the philosophers that follow.” And my brother says, “I got the top grade in the class.”

篇二十七：TED英语演讲稿

I want to start out by saying, I talk about this — about keeping women in the workforce — because I really think that's the answer.In the high-income part of our workforce, in the people who end up at the top — Fortune 500 CEO jobs, or the equivalent in other industries — the problem, I am convinced, is that women are dropping out.Now people talk about this a lot, and they talk about things like flextime and mentoring and programs companies should have to train women.I want to talk about none of that today, even though that's all really important.Today I want to focus on what we can do as individuals.What are the messages we need to tell ourselves? What are the messages we tell the women that work with and for us? What are the messages we tell our daughters?Now, at the outset, I want to be very clear that this speech comes with no judgments.I don't have the right answer.I don't even have it for myself.I left San Francisco, where I live, on Monday, and I was getting on the plane for this conference.And my daughter, who's three, when I dropped her off at preschool, did that whole hugging-the-leg, crying, “Mommy, don't get on the plane” thing.This is hard.I feel guilty sometimes.

篇二十八：ted励志演讲稿

ted励志演讲2017

假如生活是一本书，而你是作者，那么你会希望自己编写出怎样的故事?而当年正是这个想法改变了我的人生。

我在炎热的拉斯维加斯的沙漠中长大，我所向往的是自由自在的生活。我做着周游世界的白日梦，想象着能够住在下雪的地方，并把所有想讲的故事一一拍摄出来。19岁那年，高中毕业后的一天，我真的去了下雪的地方，成为了一名按摩治疗师。这份工作只需要用到手，旁边就是按摩桌。那时的我能去任何地方。这是人生中第一次，我感到自由、独立、安全。生活就在我的掌控之中。

但这时我的生活出现了逆转。一天我感觉自己的了流感便提早回到了家，可是不到24小时，我住进了医院，要靠呼吸机维持生命，并且被告知只有不到2%的存活可能。几天之后，我陷入了昏迷，医生诊断为病毒性脑膜炎，一种疫苗可以预防的血液感染。在接下去的两个半月里，我失去了脾脏、肾脏，失去了左耳的听力，两腿膝盖以下被截肢。当我的父母用轮椅把我从医院推出来的时候，我感觉自己像是被拼起来的玩具人。

那时我以为最坏的日子已经结束了，但是几周之后，当我第一次看到我的新腿，这才意识到远没有结束。我的支撑棒是笨重的金属块，它用管子与踝关节和黄色的橡胶脚固定在一起，从脚趾到踝关节上凸出来的橡胶线，看上去像静脉。我不知道自己想要什么，但绝对不会是这个。当时我的妈妈在我身旁，我们抱头痛哭，泪如雨下。

后来，我戴上这粗短的腿站了起来，那可真是太疼了，行动也不利索。我在想，天哪，我要怎么靠这些假肢周游世界?怎么过我想要的充满奇遇和有故事的生活?怎么再去滑雪?那天一到家我就爬上了床。此后几个月，生活都如此，我彻底失去了信念，逃避现实，对假肢置之不理，我在身体上和精神上彻底地崩溃了。

但是我知道，生活总要继续，为了过下去，我必须得跟过去的amy告别，学着接纳新的amy。我忽然明白，我的身高不必再是固定的5英尺5英寸(1.68m)，相反，我想多高就多高，想多矮就多矮，这完全取决于我跟谁约会。如果我去滑雪，那么脚再也不会被冻到。最大的好处是，我的脚能做成任意大小，穿进商场里的任何打折靴子。我做到了，这是没脚的好处!

这时我问自己，生活该怎么过?假如我的人生是一本书，而我是作者，那么我希望自己拥有怎样的故事?我开始做白日梦，我梦到和小时候一样，幻想自己优雅地走来走去，可以自由地帮助身边的其他人，可以去快乐地滑雪。我不能眼睁睁看着自己一点点消磨时间，我要去感觉，去感觉风拂过我的面庞，感觉我的心跳加速。似乎从那时开始，我的人生开始了新的 篇章。

四个月后，我回到了滑雪场，事情没有想象中那么顺利，我的膝盖和踝关节没办法弯曲。在上行的索道上，有一刻我吓到了所有的滑雪者，我的脚和滑雪板绑在一起飞下了山坡，可我还在山顶上。我当时很震惊，和其他滑雪者一样震惊，但是没有灰心。我知道只有找到合适的脚，我才能再来滑雪。这一次我学到，我们人生的局限和障碍，只会造成两种结局：要么让我们停滞不前，要么逼我们迸发出巨大的创造力。

我研究了一年，依然没有弄清楚要用哪种脚，也没找到任何能帮到我的厂商，所以我决定自己做。我和我的假肢制造商一起随机地装配零件，我们做了一双能滑雪的脚。你看，生锈的螺栓、橡胶、木头和亮粉色胶带，虽然简陋但我能变换指甲油的颜色哦!这些假肢是我收到最好的21岁生日礼物。

后来我爸爸给了我一个肾，让我又可以追梦了。我开始滑雪，回去工作，然后回到学校。在XX年的时候我参与投资了一个专为青年残疾人服务的非营利组织，让他们能参与到极限运动中来。后来，我有幸去到南非，帮助那里成千上万的孩子穿上鞋子使他们能够走路上学。再后来，去年二月，我赢回两座世界滑雪锦标赛金牌，这使我成为世界上滑雪排名最高的女残疾选手。

XX年前，我失去了双脚，我不知道能做什么。但如果今天你问我，是否愿意回头，让我的人生再回到原来的轨道，我的答案是：no!因为我的脚没有让我失去能力，而是逼我依靠自己的想象力，相信各种可能性，让我相信想象力可以作为工具，打破任何藩篱。因为在我们的意识深处，我们可以做任何事，成为任何人。所以请永远地相信梦想，直面恐惧。让我们活出自我，超越极限!

虽然今天的主题是关于创新，我的故事看似跑题，但我不得不说，在我的人生里，创新是唯一的可能。因为我的经历让我了解到，那些痛苦与厄运看似是生活的终结，但也正是想象力和故事开始的地方。

所以我今天想告诉你们的是，不要把人生中的挑战和困难当做坏事，相反你应从正面去看待它们，让它们作为点亮你我想象力的美好礼物。它会帮助我们超越自我、飞跃藩篱，看人生的阻碍到底能为我们带来哪种惊喜。

篇二十九：ted励志演讲稿

【采访导读】1993年，比尔·盖茨夫妇把在海滩上散步，做了一个重大的决定：将微软公司挣得的财富回报社会。在与克里斯安德森的谈话中，夫妇俩谈论了他们在比尔和梅琳达·盖茨基金会的工作，他们的婚姻，他们的孩子，他们的失败，还有他们回馈社会获得的满足感。

【采访内容节选】

Melinda Gates: This is in Africa, our very first trip, the first time either of us had ever been to Africa, in the fall of 1993.We were already engaged to be married.We married a few months later, and this was the trip where we really went to see the animals and to see the savanna.It was incredible.Bill had never taken that much time off from work.But what really touched us, actually, were the people, and the extreme poverty.We started asking ourselves questions.Does it have to be like this?

梅琳达·盖茨：这是我们第一次旅行，在非洲拍的。我们俩都是第一次去非洲，那是1993年的秋天，我们已经订婚。几月后，我们结婚了，我们想通过这次旅行看看野生动物和热带草原。真是太美了。比尔和我从来没有放过这么长的假。但是真正让我们深受触动的是那儿的人，那儿的贫穷。我们开始扪心自问，一切只能是这样吗?

Bill Gates: Well, we decided that we'd pick two causes, whatever the biggest inequity was globally, and there we looked at children dying, children not having enough nutrition to ever develop, and countries that were really stuck, because with that level of death, and parents would have so many kids that they'd get huge population growth, and that the kids were so sick that they really couldn't be educated and lift themselves up.So that was our global thing, and then in the U.S., both of us have had amazing educations, and we saw that as the way that the U.S.could live up to its promise of equal opportunity is by having a phenomenal education system, and the more we learned, the more we realized we're not really fulfilling that promise.比尔·盖茨：我们决定选择两个方面：任何世界上最不公平的事，这指的是垂死的儿童，营养跟不上的儿童，因为高死亡率发展停滞不前的国家，国家人口剧长，孩子病得太重，他们没法受教育养活自己。这是世界的情况，而在美国，我们夫妻俩都受过良好的教育，我们看到美国实现“机会平等”这一承诺的途径就是其良好的教育体系。我们了解的越多，就越深刻地意识到我们并没有完全兑现我们的承诺。

So this is a story largely of vaccines.Smallpox was killing a couple million kids a year.That was eradicated, so that got down to zero.Measles was killing a couple million a year.That's down to a few hundred thousand.Anyway, this is a chart where you want to get that number to continue, and it's going to be possible, using the science of new vaccines, getting the vaccines out to kids.We can actually accelerate the progress.所以这个故事主要说的是疫苗。以前，每年有几百万的儿童死于天花。现在我们摆脱它了，死亡数变成了零。每年有百万人死于麻疹，现在这个数字是几十万。总之，在这张图表中，如果你让数字继续下去，就有可能利用新疫苗技术为儿童提供疫苗。我们可以加快这个进程。

Because we built this thing together from the beginning, it's this great partnership.I had that with Paul Allen in the early days of Microsoft.I had it with Steve Ballmer as Microsoft got bigger, and now Melinda, and in even stronger, equal ways, is the partner, so we talk a lot about which things should we give more to, which groups are working well? She's got a lot of insight.She'll sit down with the employees a lot.We'll take the different trips she described.So there's a lot of collaboration.I can't think of anything where one of us had a super strong opinion about one thing or another?

因为我们从零开始建立了它，这是一种绝妙的伙伴关系。微软早期，我曾和保罗·艾伦有那种伙伴关系。微软的成长期我有史蒂夫·巴摩，现在微软更强了，梅琳达以一种更稳固，更平等的方式成为了我的伙伴。我们谈论了很多，哪些事情更应该重视，哪一个团队运作的很好?她有很多深刻见解。她能和员工打成一片。我们各自出行，就像她说的，我们也有很多合作。我想不出有哪件事一方的主张特别强烈。

Well, I would say a huge lesson for us out of the early work is we thought that these small schools were the answer, and small schools definitely help.They bring down the dropout rate.They have less violence and crime in those schools.But the thing that we learned from that work, and what turned out to be the fundamental key, is a great teacher in front of the classroom.If you don't have an effective teacher in the front of the classroom, I don't care how big or small the building is, you're not going to change the trajectory of whether that student will be ready for college.我想说的是一个深刻的教训，工作早期，我们以为小规模的学校就是解决办法，当然小规模学校有一定作用，可以减少辍学率。学校内的暴力事件和犯罪比较低。但是我们从工作中学到的，也是最重要的一件事就是课堂上必须有个好老师。如果没有有效率的老师，无论教室大或小，你都不可能改变学生是否已经准备好上大学的轨迹。

篇三十：ted励志演讲稿

邹奇奇，一个华裔小姑娘。12岁的时候在 TED 发表演讲，名字叫：What adults can learn from kids? 大人应当从小孩身上学习什么?演讲中，她代表孩子们发声，希望大人可以相信孩子、给孩子们期待，因为他们将是这个世界的引领者。以下是本次演讲的节选。

【演讲节选】

I appreciate your attention today, because to show that you truly care, you listen.But there's a problem with this rosy picture of kids being so much better than adults.Kids grow up and become adults just like you.(Laughter)Or just like you, really?

我非常感谢你们今天来听我的演讲，因为那说明你们真的在乎，你们在倾听。但是对于“孩子比大人好太多” 这件事仍有一个问题。孩子们长大会变成像你们一样的成人。(笑声)就像你们这样，真的吗?

The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather better adults than you have been, which may be a little challenging considering your guys credentials, but the way progress happens is because new generations and new eras grow and develop and become better than the previous ones.It's the reason we're not in the Dark Ages anymore.No matter your position of place in life, it is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away.最终的目标并不是把孩子变成你们这种大人，而是变成比你们更好的大人，考虑到你们已经是比较成功的成人，这可能有一点难度。但是这个过程在发生，因为新的一代的成长和发展并变得比前一辈更好。这就是我们不再处于黑暗时代的原因。不论你处于生生活中何种状态，为你的孩子创造机会很重要，这样他们才能超越你们。

Adults and fellow TEDsters, you need to listen and learn from kids and trust us and expect more from us.You must lend an ear today, because we are the leaders of tomorrow, which means we're going to be taking care of you when you're old and senile.No, just kidding.No, really, we are going to be the next generation, the ones who will bring this world forward.大人和TED的关注者们，你们需要从孩子那里倾听和学习，相信我们并且给我们更多期待。你们今天必须倾听我们，因为我们是明天的领导者，因为我们会在你们年老力衰的时候照顾你们。不，开个玩笑。不，说真的，我们将会成为推动这个世界前进的下一代。

And, in case you don't think that this really has meaning for you, remember that cloning is possible, and that involves going through childhood again, in which case, you'll want to be heard just like my generation.Now, the world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas.Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed.Are you ready to make the match? Because the world's problems shouldn't be the human family's heirloom.然而，如果您认为这个对您来说没有意义，请记住克隆是可能的，那意味着你们将再次体验童年，您会像我们这一代人一样，渴望被倾听。现在，世界应当为新的领导者和新思想提供机会。孩子们需要机会去领导和成功。你准备好与时俱进了吗?因为我们不应当将前人的错误传递给下一代。

篇三十一：ted励志演讲稿

人类的声音： 是我们所有人都弹奏的乐器。可能是这个世界上最有力的声音。它绝无仅有，或能引起战争，或能说“我爱你”。

然而，很多人有这种经历，当他们说的时候，人们并不在听。这是为什么呢? 我们怎样有力地说 而让世界发生某种改变?

我所提议的是，我们需要改变一些习惯。在此我为你们收集整理了，说话的七宗罪。我没打算假装这是一个详细的列表，但这七个，我以为是我们相当容易犯的坏习惯。

第一就是：流言蜚语

在背后说某些人的坏话。这不是一个好习惯，我们都很明白 那个说闲话的人在五分钟以后 就会在别人跟前说我们的闲话。

第二，评判

我们知道有些人在谈话中是这样的，这让人很难听进别人的话，如果你知道你被人评判 且被认为不合格。

第三，消极

你能陷入这个泥潭。我的母亲，在她生命的最后几年里，变得非常非常消极，很难让人听她说话。我记得有一天，我对她说，“今天是十月一号，” 她说，“我知道，这不可怕吗?” 当某人那么消极的时候是很难让人听进去的。

另外一种消极，就是抱怨

这是英国的全国性艺术。是我们的全国性运动。我们抱怨天气，体育和政治，几乎每件事，但实际上抱怨是病毒性的悲催，它不会在这个世界上传播太阳和光明。

借口

我们都遇上过这个家伙。也许我们都曾经是这个家伙。有些人有指责癖好。他们怪罪任何人 而不是对自己的行为负责任，所以，这又是让人难以聆听的一种。

七件里面的老六，倒数第二，浮夸，吹牛

它有时贬低了我们的语言，事实上。比如，如果我看见 什么真的很神奇的事情，那我该说什么呢?(笑声)当然这种夸大后来就变成了说谎。彻头彻尾的说谎，我们就不想听 这种我们知道会说谎的人。

最后是，固执己见

把事实和意见混淆。当这两件事混为一谈，你就像在听风一样。你知道，有人用他们自己的意见来强迫你。这很难让我们听讲。

这就是说话的七宗罪。我认为这些是我们需要避免的。

但有没有比较正面的呢?的确有。我想建议四种我们可以牢靠站立的，真正强有力的基石或者基础，如果我们想让我们的言语有力 并且让世界产生变化。

幸运的是，这些事情连起来是一个单词。这个词就是“hail”，它有着特别好的定义。我不是讲那个天上掉下来的，砸在你头上的东西。我在谈论的是“热情地致敬或赞扬”这个定义。我认为我们的言辞会如此被接受，如果我们坚持这四件事。

那么它们到底是什么呢? 看看你是否能猜到。

h，代表了诚实(honesty)，当然，说真话，直接了当并且清楚明白。

a，代表了真实(authenticity)，做一个自然而然的自己。我的一个朋友把它描述为 坚持真实的自己，我觉得这是一个优美的表述。

i，代表了正气(integrity)，言而有信，说到做到，成为别人能信任的人。

l，代表爱(love)。我不是指罗曼蒂克的爱情，而是指对别人有良好的祝愿，这出于两个原因。第一，我认为绝对的诚实，也许不是我们所想要的。我的意思是，天哪，今天早上你真难看。那可能不必要。诚实是很重要的。当然，适当地带着爱。但还有，当你真的很希望别人好，就很难同时评判他们。我不知道你们是否能同时做到这两点。那么hail。

上面提到的是你所说的内容。另外，就像老歌里唱的，你所说的很重要，还有你的表达方式也很重要。你有一个很神奇的工具盒。里面有难以置信的工具，然而这个工具盒只有不多的人打开过。

我愿意跟你们在这里 做一点儿探查，并且找出几种工具。你也许想拿来试一下，这些将会增加你说话的力量。

比如说，音域

假声大部分时候可能是没用的，但在两者之间会有一种是有用的。对于在座的语音教练们，我不会在这个问题上很深入。然而，你能定位你的声音。如果我把声音提到鼻子这儿，你可以听出不同。如果我把声音降到嗓子这里，这是我们大部分人大多数时候所做的。但是如果你想有份量，你需要降到胸腔。你听出了不同吗? 我们给声音低沉的政治家投票，那是真的，因为我们把深沉 和权力、权威联系在一起。那是音域。

然后我们再说音色

那是你的声音让人感觉如何。研究显示我们喜欢那种 丰厚，平滑，温暖，像热巧克力一样的声音。当然如果你没有那样的声音，这也不是世界末日。因为你可以训练。去找到一个声音教练。你可以做很神奇的事情，利用呼吸，姿势，还有锻炼 来提高你嗓音的音色。

然后是韵律

我喜欢韵律。那是唱歌，是元语言，我们用来传送意味。在谈话中是意思的根基。那种说话一个声调的人 很难让人听讲，如果他们没有一点儿韵律。那就是单调这个词的来源，或者说枯燥无味，一成不变。我们还有重复性的韵律，每个句子的结尾好像是一个疑问句，但事实上，它不是疑问句，而是陈述句。(笑声)如果你一遍一遍地重复某个东西，它会限制你 用韵律来交流的能力，我认为这是一件憾事，让我们努力打破那个习惯。

语速

我可以非常非常兴奋地 飞快地说着什么，或者我能慢下来强调，在结尾处，当然是我们的老朋友，沉默。在讲话中，有一点儿沉默 没关系，是吗? 我们不需要用“嗯” 和“ 啊”来填充。沉默就很有力。

当然，音调常常跟语速一起 来指示兴奋度，但你能仅仅用音调就显示出来。你把我的钥匙放在哪儿啦? 你把我的钥匙放在哪儿啦? 那么轻微的差别 在这两个表达中。

最后，是音量

我能用音量表示极端的兴奋。如果我打扰了任何人的话，抱歉。或者，我能用很轻的声音 让你认真地注意。有人全程一直都在说话。别那样。那叫做“公放音乐”，把你的声音不假思索 和草率地强加给别人。不好。

当然，这些工具真正发挥作用的地方，是当你有什么很重要的事情要做的时候。这可能是像这样站在演讲台上 对着人演讲。它可能是求婚，要求加薪，或者婚礼上的讲话。不管是什么，如果它非常重要，你应该看着这个工具盒，以及将要工作运行的发动机，没有预热的发动机不会好好工作。预热你自己的声音。

让我给你演示怎样做。你们都愿意站起来一会儿吗? 我会给你演示六个预热声音的锻炼，在每次演讲之前我都这么做。在跟任何重要的人谈话之前，做以下这些。第一，举起双臂，吸气，然后呼出，啊哈，就像那样。再来一次。啊哈，很好。现在我们要预热我们的嘴唇，做出吧，吧，吧，吧，吧，吧，吧，吧。很好。现在，brrrrrrr，就像你是个孩子。brrrrr。现在你的嘴唇应该活了。下一个是舌头，夸张的啦，啦，啦，啦…… 美极了。你们做得很好。然后，卷舌一个r，rrrrrr。这就像给舌头的香槟酒。最后，如果我只能做一个，专业人士把这叫做警报。这个特别好。它开始于“we”然后转为“aw”。“we”是高音，“aw”是低音。那么就是，“weeeaawww.xiexiebang.comic area.(笑声)没错，这就是代表野餐区的那个中文字

(Laughter)I've spent the last five years of my life thinking about situations exactly like this--why we sometimes misunderstand the signs around us,(笑声)过去的五年 我一直在思考 刚刚我所描述的状况 为什么我们会对身边的征兆 产生误解

and how we behave when that happens, and what all of this can tell us about human nature.当误解发生时我们作何反应 以及这一切所告诉我们的人性

In other words, as you heard Chris say, I've spent the last five years thinking about being wrong.换句话说，就像 Chris 刚才说的 过去五年的时间 我都在思考错误的价值

This might strike you as a strange career move, but it actually has one great advantage: no job competition.你可能觉得这是个奇异的专业 但有一项好处是不容置疑的： 没有竞争者。

(Laughter)In fact, most of us do everything we can to avoid thinking about being wrong, or at least to avoid thinking about the possibility that we ourselves are wrong.(笑声)事实上，我们大部分的人 都尽力不思考错误的价值 或至少避免想到我们有可能犯错。

We get it in the abstract.我们都知道这个模糊的概念。

We all know everybody in this room makes mistakes.我们都知道这里的每个人都曾经犯错

The human species, in general, is fallible--okay fine.人类本来就会犯错-没问题

But when it comes down to me right now, to all the beliefs I hold, here in the present tense, suddenly all of this abstract appreciation of fallibility goes out the window--and I can't actually think of anything I'm wrong about.一旦这个想法临到我们自身 我们现在所有的 所有的信念 对人类可能犯错的抽象概念随即被我们抛弃 我无法想到我有哪里出错

And the thing is, the present tense is where we live.但是，我们活在现在We go to meetings in the present tense;we go on family vacations in the present tense;we go to the polls and vote in the present tense.我们开会，去家庭旅游 去投票 全都是现在式

So effectively, we all kind of wind up traveling through life, trapped in this little bubble of feeling very right about everything.我们就像现在一个小泡泡里 经历人生 感觉自己总是对的I think this is a problem.我认为这是个问题

I think it's a problem for each of us as individuals, in our personal and professional lives, and I think it's a problem for all of us collectively as a culture.我认为这是每个人私人生活 和职业生活中的问题 我认为我们身为群体，这也造成了文化问题

So what I want to do today is, first of all, talk about why we get stuck inside this feeling of being right.于是，我今天想做的是 先谈谈为甚么我们会 陷在这种自以为是的心态中

And second, why it's such a problem.第二是为甚么这是个问题

And finally, I want to convince you that it is possible to step outside of that feeling, and that, if you can do so, it is the single greatest

最后我想说服大家 克服这种感觉 是可能的 而且一旦你做到了 这将成为你道德上

moral, intellectual and creative leap you can make.智性上和创意上最大的进步

So why do we get stuck in this feeling of being right?

为甚么我们会陷在 这种自以为是的心态中?

One reason actually has to do with a feeling of being wrong.事实上这和犯错的感觉有关

So let me ask you guys something--or actually, let me ask you guys something, because you're right here: How does it feel--emotionally--

我想问问你们 让我问问台上的你们 当你意识到自己犯错了

how does it feel to be wrong?

你感觉如何?

Dreadful.Thumbs down.糟透了。很差劲。

Embarrassing.Okay, wonderful, good.难堪。很好，是的。

Dreadful, thumbs down, embarrassing--thank you, these are great answers, but they're answers to a different question.很糟糕，很差劲，很难堪。谢谢你们提供这些答案 但这些答案没有回答我的问题

You guys are answering the question: How does it feel to realize you're wrong?

你们回答的问题是： 当你意识到你犯错的时候，你的感觉如何?

(Laughter)Realizing you're wrong can feel like all of that and a lot of other things, right?

(笑声)意识到你犯错了就会有刚刚所说的这些感觉，不是吗?

I mean it can be devastating, it can be revelatory, it can actually be quite funny, like my stupid Chinese character mistake.令人沮丧，暴露了一些真实 有时候甚至有些好笑 像我误以为路牌是中文字

But just being wrong doesn't feel like anything.但犯错本身 事实上毫无感觉

I'll give you an analogy.让我给你一个例子

Do you remember that Loony Tunes cartoon where there's this pathetic coyote who's always chasing and never catching a roadrunner?

你记得卡通里 那个总是在追逐 却从未抓到猎物的土狼吗?

In pretty much every episode of this cartoon, there's a moment where the coyote is chasing the roadrunner and the roadrunner runs off a cliff,几乎在每一集里 牠的猎物-一只走鹃鸟 都会跳下悬崖

which is fine, he's a bird, he can fly.反正牠是鸟，牠可以飞

But the thing is, the coyote runs off the cliff right after him.但土狼也会跟着牠一起跳崖

And what's funny--at least if you're six years old--is that the coyote's totally fine too.那很好笑 如果你是个六岁儿童 土狼也很好

He just keeps running--right up until the moment that he looks down and realizes that he's in mid-air.牠就这么继续跑 直到牠往下看 发现自己漫步在空中

That's when he falls.这时候他才会往下掉

When we're wrong about something--not when we realize it, but before that--we're like that coyote after he's gone off the cliff and before he looks down.在我们犯错时 在我们意识到我们犯错时 我们就像那只土狼 还没意识到自己奔出悬崖

You know, we're already wrong, we're already in trouble, but we feel like we're on solid ground.我们已经错了 已经惹上麻烦了 但仍然感觉像走在地上

So I should actually correct something I said a moment ago.我应该改变我之前的说法

It does feel like something to be wrong;it feels like being right.犯错的感觉就和 正确的感觉一样

(Laughter)So this is one reason, a structural reason, why we get stuck inside this feeling of rightness.(笑声)事实上我们这种自以为对的感受 是有构造性的原因的I call this error blindness.我称之为错误盲点

Most of the time, we don't have any kind of internal cue to let us know that we're wrong about something, until it's too late.大部份的时间里 我们身体里没有任何机制 提醒我们错了 直到木已成舟

But there's a second reason that we get stuck inside this feeling as well--and this one is cultural.但还有第二个理由 文化性的理由

Think back for a moment to elementary school.回想小学时代

You're sitting there in class, and your teacher is handing back quiz papers, and one of them looks like this.你坐在课堂里 你的老师发回小考考卷 像这样的小考考卷

This is not mine, by the way.虽然这张不是我的(Laughter)So there you are in grade school, and you know exactly what to think about the kid who got this paper.(笑声)你从小学时代 就知道该对拿这张考卷的同学 下甚么评语

It's the dumb kid, the troublemaker, the one who never does his homework.笨蛋，捣蛋鬼 从不做功课的坏学生

So by the time you are nine years old, you've already learned, first of all, that people who get stuff wrong are lazy, irresponsible dimwits--

你不过才九岁 你已经懂得，首先 那些犯错的人 都是懒惰、不负责任的傻瓜

and second of all, that the way to succeed in life is to never make any mistakes.第二 想要在人生中成功 就不要犯错

We learn these really bad lessons really well.我们很早就得到这些错误讯息

And a lot of us--and I suspect, especially a lot of us in this room--deal with them by just becoming perfect little A students,而我们 尤其是这个大厅里的许多人 都因此成为好学生 拿全A

perfectionists, over-achievers.完美主义、永不满意

Right, Mr.CFO, astrophysicist, ultra-marathoner?

不是吗? 财务长、天体物理学家、超级马拉松先生们?

(Laughter)You're all CFO, astrophysicists, ultra-marathoners, it turns out.(笑声)结果是你们全成了财务长、天体物理学家、跑超级马拉松

Okay, so fine.那很好

Except that then we freak out at the possibility that we've gotten something wrong.但一旦我们发现有可能犯错 就开始手足无措

Because according to this, getting something wrong means there's something wrong with us.因为依照规定 犯错 代表我们一定也有甚么不对劲

So we just insist that we're right, because it makes us feel smart and responsible and virtuous and safe.于是我们坚持己见 因为那让我们感觉聪明、得体 安全和可靠

So let me tell you a story.让我告诉你们一个故事

A couple of years ago, a woman comes into Beth Israel Deaconess medical center for a surgery.几年前 一个女人到 Beth Israel Deaconess 诊所做手术

Beth Israel's in Boston.Beth Israel 在波士顿

It's the teaching hospital for Harvard--one of the best hospitals in the country.是哈佛大学的教学附属医院 全国数一数二的医疗中心

So this woman comes in and she's taken into the operating room.这个女人被送进开刀房

She's anesthetized, the surgeon does his thing--stitches her back up, sends her out to the recovery room.麻醉，外科医生做完手术 缝合，将她送进恢复室

Everything seems to have gone fine.一切看上去都很好

And she wakes up, and she looks down at herself, and she says, “Why is the wrong side of my body in bandages?”

她醒来，往自己身上一看 说“为甚么我的左腿绑着绷带?”

Well the wrong side of her body is in bandages because the surgeon has performed a major operation on her left leg instead of her right one.她应该接受治疗的是右腿 但为他做手术的外科医生 却把刀开在左腿

When the vice president for health care quality at Beth Israel spoke about this incident, he said something very interesting.当副院长出来为医院的医疗质量 和这次意外做出解释时 他说了句很有趣的话

He said, “For whatever reason, the surgeon simply felt that he was on the correct side of the patient.”

他说“无论如何 这位外科医生感觉 他开下的刀是在正确的一侧”

(Laughter)The point of this story is that trusting too much in the feeling of being on the correct side of anything can be very dangerous.(笑声)故事的重点是 相信自己的判断力 相信自己站在对的一边 是非常危险的This internal sense of rightness that we all experience so often is not a reliable guide to what is actually going on in the external world.我们心中时常感觉到的 理直气壮的感觉 在真实世界中 并不是个可靠的向导。

And when we act like it is, and we stop entertaining the possibility that we could be wrong, well that's when we end up doing things

当我们依此行事 不再思考我们是否犯错 我们就有可能

88.like dumping 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, or torpedoing the global economy.把两百湾加仑的石油倒进墨西哥湾 或是颠覆世界经济

So this is a huge practical problem.这是个很实际的问题

But it's also a huge social problem.这也是个很大的社会问题

Think for a moment about what it means to feel right.“感觉对”究竟是什么意思

It means that you think that your beliefs just perfectly reflect reality.这代表着你认为你的信念 和真实是一致的And when you feel that way, you've got a problem to solve, which is, how are you going to explain all of those people who disagree with you?

当你有这种感觉的时候 你的问题就大了 因为如果你是对的 为甚么还有人和你持不同意见?

It turns out, most of us explain those people the same way, by resorting to a series of unfortunate assumptions.于是我们往往用同一种 思考方式去解释这些异议

The first thing we usually do when someone disagrees with us is we just assume they're ignorant.第一是当他人不同意我们的说法 我们便觉得他们无知

They don't have access to the same information that we do, and when we generously share that information with them, they're going to see the light and come on over to our team.他们不像我们懂得这么多 当我们慷慨地和他们分享我们的知识 他们便会理解，并加入我们的行列

When that doesn't work, when it turns out those people have all the same facts that we do and they still disagree with us, then we move on to a second assumption,如果不是这样 如果这些人和我们获得的信息一样多 却仍然不认同我们 我们便有了下一个定论

which is that they're idiots.那就是他们是白痴

(Laughter)They have all the right pieces of the puzzle, and they are too moronic to put them together correctly.(笑声)他们已经有了所有的信息 却笨到无法拼凑出正确的图像

And when that doesn't work, when it turns out that people who disagree with us have all the same facts we do and are actually pretty smart,一旦第二个定论也不成立 当这些反对我们的人 和我们有一样的信息 又聪明

then we move on to a third assumption: they know the truth, and they are deliberately distorting it for their own malevolent purposes.我们便有了第三个结论 他们知道事实是甚么 但却为了自己的好处 故意曲解真实。

So this is a catastrophe.这真是个大灾难

This attachment to our own rightness keeps us from preventing mistakes when we absolutely need to and causes us to treat each other terribly.我们的自以为是 让我们在最需要的时候 无法预防犯错 更让我们互相仇视

104.But to me, what's most baffling and most tragic about this is that it misses the whole point of being human.对我来说 最大的悲剧是 它让我们错失了身为人的珍贵意义

It's like we want to imagine that our minds are just these perfectly translucent windows and we just gaze out of them and describe the world as it unfolds.那就像是想象 我们的心灵之窗完全透明 我们向外观看 描述在我们之前展开的世界

And we want everybody else to gaze out of the same window and see the exact same thing.我们想要每个人和我们有一样的窗子 对世界做出一样的观察

That is not true, and if it were, life would be incredibly boring.那不是真的 如果是，人生将会多么无聊

The miracle of your mind isn't that you can see the world as it is.心灵的神奇之处 不在你懂得这个世界是甚么样子

It's that you can see the world as it isn't.而是去理解那些你不懂的地方

We can remember the past, and we can think about the future, and we can imagine what it's like to be some other person in some other place.我们记得过去 思考未来 我们想象 自己成为他人，在他方

And we all do this a little differently, which is why we can all look up at the same night sky and see this and also this and also this.我们的想象都有些不同 于是当我们抬头看同一个夜空 我们看到这个 这个 和这个

And yeah, it is also why we get things wrong.这也是我们搞错事情的原因

1,200 years before Descartes said his famous thing about “I think therefore I am,”

在笛卡儿说出那句有名的”我思故我在“ 的一千两百年前

this guy, St.Augustine, sat down and wrote “Fallor ergo sum”--“I err therefore I am.”

圣奥古斯丁，坐下来 写下“Fallor ergo sum” “我错故我在”

Augustine understood that our capacity to screw up, it's not some kind of embarrassing defect in the human system, something we can eradicate or overcome.奥古斯丁懂得 我们犯错的能力 这并不是人性中 一个令人难堪的缺陷 不是我们可以克服或消灭的It's totally fundamental to who we are.这是我们的本质

Because, unlike God, we don't really know what's going on out there.因为我们不是上帝 我们不知道我们之外究竟发生了甚么

And unlike all of the other animals, we are obsessed with trying to figure it out.而不同于其它动物的是 我们都疯狂地想找出解答

To me, this obsession is the source and root of all of our productivity and creativity.对我来说 这种寻找的冲动 就是我们生产力和创造力的来源

Last year, for various reasons, I found myself listening to a lot of episodes of the Public Radio show This American Life.因为一些缘故 去年我在广播上 听了很多集的“我们的美国人生”

And so I'm listening and I'm listening, and at some point, I start feeling like all the stories are about being wrong.我听着听着 突然发现 这些故事全和犯错有关

And my first thought was, “I've lost it.我的第一个念头是 “我完了

I've become the crazy wrongness lady.我写书写疯了

I just imagined it everywhere,”

四处都看到有关犯错的幻觉”

which has happened.说真的是这样

But a couple of months later, I actually had a chance to interview Ira Glass, who's the host of the show.但几个月后 我访问了那个广播节目的主持人 Ira Glass

And I mentioned this to him, and he was like, “No actually, that's true.我向他提到这件事 他回答我“事实上

In fact,” he says, “as a staff, we joke that every single episode of our show has the same crypto-theme.你是对的”他说 “我们这些工作人员总是 开玩笑说每集节目之中的 秘密主题都是一样的And the crypto-theme is: 'I thought this one thing was going to happen and something else happened instead.' And thing is,” says Ira Glass, “we need this.这个秘密主题就是 ”我以为这件事会这样发生 结果其它事情发生了“ 他说”但是，这就是我们需要的We need these moments of surprise and reversal and wrongness to make these stories work.“

我们需要这些意外 这些颠倒和错误 这些故事才能成立。”

And for the rest of us, audience members, as listeners, as readers, we eat this stuff up.而我们身为观众 听众、读者 我们吸收这些故事

We love things like plot twists and red herrings and surprise endings.我们喜欢故事转折 令人惊讶的结局

When it comes to our stories, we love being wrong.我们喜欢在故事里 看到犯错

But, you know, our stories are like this because our lives are like this.但，故事会这样写 是因为人生就是这样

We think this one thing is going to happen and something else happens instead.我们以为某些事情会这样发生 发生的却是其它事

George Bush thought he was going to invade Iraq, find a bunch of weapons of mass destruction, liberate the people and bring democracy to the Middle East.小布什以为他入侵伊拉克 会找到大规模毁灭性武器 解放中东百姓，为他们带来民主自由

And something else happened instead.但却不是这样

And Hosni Mubarak thought he was going to be dictator of Egypt for the rest of his life, until he got too old or too sick and could pass the reigns of power onto his son.穆巴拉克以为 他到死都会是埃及的独裁者 一直到他年老或卧病 再把他的权力交给下一代

And something else happened instead.但却不是这样

And maybe you thought you were going to grow up and marry your high school sweetheart and move back to your home town and raise a bunch of kids together.或许你想过 你会长大、嫁给你的初恋情人 搬回老家，生一群孩子

And something else happened instead.但却不是这样

And I have to tell you that I thought I was writing an incredibly nerdy book about a subject everybody hates for an audience that would never materialize.我必须说 我以为我写的是一本很冷僻的书 有关一个人人讨厌的主题 为一些从不存在的读者

And something else happened instead.但却不是这样

(Laughter)I mean, this is life.(笑声)我们的人生

For good and for ill, we generate these incredible stories about the world around us, and then the world turns around and astonishes us.无论好坏 我们创造了啦 那包围我们的世界 而世界转过头来，令我们大吃一惊

No offense, but this entire conference is an unbelievable monument to our capacity to get stuff wrong.说真的，这整个会议 充斥着这样难以置信的时刻 我们一次又一次地意识到自己的错误

We just spent and entire week talking about innovations and advancements and improvements, but you know why we need all of those innovations

我们花了整整一周 讨论创新，进步 和改善 你知道我们为甚么需要这些创新

and advancements and improvements?

进步和改善吗?

Because half the stuff that's the most mind-boggling and world altering--TED 1998--eh.因为其中有一半 来自最应该改变世界的 98年的TED 呃

(Laughter)Didn't really work out that way, did it.(笑声)真是出人意料之外啊，不是吗

(Laughter)Where's my jet pack, Chris?

(笑声)我的逃生火箭在哪，Chris?

(Laughter)(Applause)So here we are again.(笑声)(掌声)于是我们又在这里

And that's how it goes.事情就是这样

We come up with another idea.我们重新想出其它点子

We tell another story.我们有了新的故事

We hold another conference.我们开了另一个会议

The theme of this one, as you guys have now heard seven million times, is the rediscovery of wonder.这次的主题是 如果你还没有听到耳朵出油的话 是重新找到想象的力量

And to me, if you really want to rediscover wonder, you need to step outside of that tiny, terrified space of rightness and look around at each other

对我来说 如果你真的想重新找到想象的力量 你需要离开 那个小小的、自我感觉良好的小圈圈 看看彼此

and look out at the vastness and complexity and mystery of the universe and be able to say, “Wow, I don't know.看看宇宙的 广大无垠 复杂神秘 然后真正地说 “哇，我不知道

Maybe I'm wrong.”

或许我错了。”

Thank you.谢谢各位

(Applause)Thank you guys.(掌声)谢谢
