ted拖延症演讲稿
【前言】本文是会员“posd98764”收集的ted拖延症演讲稿（共8篇），供大家参考。
此时此刻，我就在面临着一个毫无人性的选择：在你最亲近的四个人中删去三个人，而删去，无疑就是我们所理解的死亡。
我手中的笔在不停的颤抖，鼻尖在爸爸、妈妈、姐姐、弟弟这四个词语上空来回移动，鼻尖上的汗也滴落了下来。删妈妈?不!妈妈整天为我们操劳，她无怨无悔，记得上次，她为我们洗衣服洗到半夜;删爸爸?不!爸爸每天不论狂风暴雨还是烈日炎炎，总是开车送我们，生怕我被淋着晒着;删姐姐?不!姐姐十分疼爱我，记得上次，姐姐回家时给我带了那么多的零食;删弟弟?不!他是如此活泼可爱，对我如此好......可必须删一个呀!我额头上的汗再次滴落了下来......几分钟过去了，我那颤抖的笔尖在弟弟的名字的上空停了下来，这是，我心一紧，牙一咬，一条长长地黑线勾走了弟弟的“生命”!
......
什么?还要删一个，不，我已经删去了一个，不想再删一个了!可是必须删一个。父母的养育之恩使我无法回报，我不可以删去他们，那只有删去......又一条长长地黑线拉走了姐姐的“生命”。顿时，我脑袋里一片空白，望着爸爸和妈妈，我思潮起伏：妈妈肯定不能删，她为了我含辛茹苦，可爸爸他......唉，我只有删去了爸爸......
一道艰难的选择题做完了，我瘫在了桌子上，脑袋像炸了似的，耳边只有“嗡嗡”的声音，心里悔恨着、难受着......
在生活中，这样的选择还少吗?父母离异，你选爸爸还是妈妈?俩位最好的朋友落入水中，你是救前一人还是后一人?路人被劫
，你是见义勇为还是“安分守己”?
人生就像一张试卷，它有大量的选择题，但不可不选并且还不以分数计算。有时，A和B你都不想放弃，但它无疑是一道单选题，它告诉你，必须学会选择，学会放弃。
敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学：
曾有一个人，以笔当武器有力地打击日本侵略者，而他的“横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛”，有如太极一般柔中带刚;曾有一个人，他放弃可苟且偷安的生活，毅然投身随时有着生命危险的革命事业，率领中国人民打下了属于自己的江山。
前者与后者在同一个时代，那是中国沦落的时代。在列强侵略的铁蹄践踏下的中国，人民的民族意识仍然很弱，仍在外来侵略者以及军阀的压迫下过着浑浑噩噩的生活。前者刚开始并没有意识到精神上的麻木才是最可怕的，他看到的只是民不聊生的惨状，当他看到人们在病痛的折磨下而含恨离世，他突然想到如果能成为一名救死扶伤的医生，医治病人，也许人民的生活会好起来。
于是他不辞辛苦飘洋来到异国学习医术。他很努力，只希望早日学成，回国去抢救那些正处于水深火热之中的人民，但在一次令他终身难忘的事情之后，他改变了他的认识。他不再热衷于学医，而是拿起锋利的毛笔与侵略者做抗挣。
那一天他路过街边的电影院，瞥见了银幕上中国人目睹自己的同胞受到侵略者迫害而毫无反应地令人吃惊的一幕，此时此刻他如醍醐灌顶一般猛地清醒过来了，原来仅仅医治好人们的肉体是不够的，因为无法医治好他们麻木的灵魂，即使拥有健康的身体也永远只是任人使唤，任人践踏的奴隶。要想让人民过上幸福的生活，让祖国摆脱列强地控制，就必须改变人们的思想，让人民觉醒!他弃医从文，先改变了自己，然后用自己的笔唤醒了无数的中国人。
后者同样生活当时那个兵荒马乱的年代，他目睹民生疾苦，便发誓要改变中国现状，尽管父亲封建，甚至不让他读书，接受文化的熏陶。但他叛逆，偏偏要上激进的学堂，他从老师那知道了到中国民不聊生的根源，愈来愈按柰不住自己那颗已经被改变的想法塞满的心。
但他又异常冷静，他知道以个人之力要谈改变，无异于飞蛾扑火，想要中国彻底摆脱列强的统治，军阀的压迫，就必须结交天下的爱国爱民的仁人志士，共同旧制度，改变旧中国。在湖南第一师范的那几年，师生之间的志同道合，大大的鼓舞了他。在后来他投身革命后还总结分析出了前辈想要改革为何却屡屡以失败告终的原因，于是他发出了”枪杆子底下出政权“的历史性的呼声，从次中国无产阶级组建起自己的武装力量，为后来打下新中国奠定了基础。
这两位爱国人士想必大家都知道，他们的丰功伟绩也永载史册。他们想改变国家，改变世界，就先从改变自身做起。自己拥有了目标，有了抱负，才能改变自己，改变世界!有时的成功并不是来源于不变的固执，而是改变，学会审时度势，学会变通。
亲爱的同学们：
大家好!
今天我国旗下演讲的题目是《健康饮食从我做起》。
每一家的健康与食品息息相关，随着经济社会不断进步，人们饮食文化日益多样化，食品卫生与安全成为备受关注的话题。
要健康饮食，就要做到以下几点：
1.不购买街边小吃或街边小店的垃圾食品，去一些正规超市购买食物。
2.买所需食品时，要注意生产日期、保质期、QS生产许可标志等等。
3.认准品牌购买，尽量买一些有品牌的食品。
4.少吃油炸食品及零食，多吃蔬菜水果等有营养的食品。
5.不买价格明显过低的食品，不要贪小失大。
注意以上几点，就大致能做到安全饮食了。俗话说：“民以食为天”。说得通俗一点就是人们每天要吃和喝，食物是人类赖以生存的物质。食品的质量决定了人类生命的质量。因此，食品必须是安全的并且有益健康的。
同时，也呼吁食品安全，关系你我他，但愿生产者不再为食品安全脸红，国人不再为食品安全担心，国家不再为食品安全丢脸。现在，让我们一起行动起来，杜绝有害食品，倡导绿色食品!希望同学们听了我这次的讲话后都健康饮食，健康地成长。
谢谢大家!
敬爱的老师、同学们：
大家好！
拖延症是指在能够预料后果有害的情况下，仍然把计划要做的事情往后推迟的一种行为。
这种行为深深毒害着我。
晚上8点钟的时候，我感觉床正在低声呼唤我，可我之前一直在看小说，还没完成我的作业。算了吧，反正我写得快，明早起来一样能写完。于是，我倒在床上就睡着了。
第2天早上，我突然睁开眼睛，想起作业还没写。我刚要伸手去拿作业，床就把我吸了回来，我不自觉地眯上了眼睛，却见作业卷摊在床上，我马上拿起笔刷刷地写了起来。2分钟过去了，我写完了所有的作业，我心里暗暗高兴，简直不敢相信我居然能写的那么快。既然写完了，那就再睡一会儿吧，我把作业放在了床头，便又睡着了。
当我睡得正香的时候，只听妈妈大吼一声：“小兔崽子快起床！”这一声，吓得我一机灵，我撇了撇嘴，不满意地说道：“我作业都写完了，就不能再睡一会儿吗？”说着，我还用手往床头划了划，可令我惊讶的是，床头空荡荡的，什么东西都没有！我睁开了眼睛，瞧了瞧床头，真的什么都没有，我看向书包，发现作业卷还在书包里静静地躺着，翻开一看，作业一页都没写！这是什么情况？我傻眼了，我刚才明明把作业都写完了呀。原来，我在想象中写完了作业。看来，没完成作业睡觉也不安心呀。
我又看了看表，嗯，才7点，大不了我早饭不吃了。我开始写作业，可脑子里一直想着昨天看的小说，当我想到有趣的地方时，还会笑一笑，完全忘记了我还没有写完作业。直到老师上课时，我才想起来：我的作业还没有写完！，面对老师的质问，我不知道该如何回答。很显然，我已经患上了严重的拖延症……拖延时间是世界上最省力的事情，但后果不堪设想。我希望我能尽快地克服拖延症，变成一个守时的人、一个有生活规律的人、一个身边的朋友都信赖的人。
拖延症与执行力
开场：同学们好，老师好。相信绝大多数同学都听说过这样一个新名词——拖延症。顾名思义，所谓拖延症，就是指事事都会无意识的拖延。也许本来做好了详细的计划，一到实行的时候，就想着，再等一会，等一小会。等着等着，这件事就那么过去了。
曾经有一位叫做钱鹤滩的学者写过这样一首脍炙人口的诗：“明日复明日，明日何其多。我生待明日，万事成蹉跎。”从某一方面来看，拖延症无疑压制了一个人的执行力。本来无关紧要的事，日积月累下来就做不完了。说到这里，我想做个小调查。各位同学认为自己有拖延症的，请举一下手。（——）那请问，这些举手的同学，你们是否认为拖延症阻碍了你们的计划，压制了你们的执行力。（——）
其实，根据调查发现。拖延症大多来自一定的时间限制。假如一件不大不小的事，给你10天去完成，几乎绝大多数人都会无意识选择拖延，因为大家都认为，这件事既然无足轻重，一定很容易就办到，等期限快到的时候再去做也不迟。结果到了第八天，第九天甚至第十天你才去做这件事，本来慢慢做可以非常漂亮并且轻松的完成任务，却因为拖沓导致任务完成仓促，虎头蛇尾。甚至需要外力的帮助去草草解决。
我自己本身是一个拖延症十分严重的人。我相信班里有很多同学都和我有着相同的困扰。一到放假的时候，之前明明做好了许多的计划，计划今天做什么，明天做什么，在这个时间段做什么，我要几点起床之类的杂事。可一到实行的时候，就变成了：现在才几点几点，我还可以再多睡一会。今天是放假第一天，要不就给自己放松一天吧。这个时间段应该用来休息啊，还是待会再做吧。这样的情况下，结果往往是，哪怕坐在地上发呆一整天，也不愿意去执行原本的计划。更多的情况是，假如今晚数理化政史地六科作业，肯定有一部分同学这么想：政史地可以直接抄答案，我先写这些吧，数理化我要留着好好做。可实际的情景是，我抄完了政史地作业，看向钟的时候发现，啊，都这么晚了，算了，数理化明天再做吧。到了第二天早上，原本计划好哪怕作业不交也要认真写完，可实际上，在仓促的交作业热潮中，不听话的手还是伸向了答案，抄完之后，陷入了深深地自我谴责中。
所以，综上所述，拖延症带来的负面作用更多的表现在给自己带来压力，负罪感，效率低下，还有人们对你不能完成任务的不良评价。而且，在这样的负面作用下，往往会产生恶性循环，导致进一步的拖延行为。
通常情况下，人做选择依循两个原则：或者是追求快乐，或者是逃避痛苦。你觉得上学无趣，所以会迟到，但是你跟喜欢的人约会就不迟到；老师来检查，你就不会迟到，老师一不来，你就昨天晚上忘了订闹铃，或者闹钟没有响。对于你不想做的事情，你有排山倒海的理由拖延它；对于你事关重大的事情，没有困难创造困难你也在所不辞。
当然，有时拖延症也有积极地一面。一件事情拖着拖着，我们干脆就不做了。这也是拖延症的价值：通过它，来区别事情的重要性。我常常觉得，有的时候我们是自动选择了“拖延”这样一个方式，以来激活自己的创造力。我现在就制定好复习计划，可实际上，我到了考试前一天才开始背书。但往往这种抱佛脚的行为却出奇的有效，所以我认为，我不怎么努力不怎么拼命也可以做的和那些努力的人差不多。虽然知道这种想法不正确，我的知识也没有努力的人巩固，可我还是忠于这种想法，这就是拖延症。
对于拖延症来说，最糟糕的，是在拖延的时候，憧憬忙碌的状态，在忙碌的时候，去悔恨当初自己的拖延。
加拿大卡尔加里大学的皮尔斯·斯蒂尔教授曾提出了一个著名的“拖延公式“
U=EV/ID 战拖=信心*价值/冲动*回报延迟
是否拖延，其实本质上来讲，就是你愿意付出的代价，和你的获得之间，你做一个选择。
我的演讲结束了，谢谢大家！

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “china’s Got Talent” show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the who was the performing guest? Susan I told her, “I’m going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in chinese.[chinese] So it’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our chinese parallel Susan Boyle--a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves

菜农妇的确属于人群中的少数。她们是最不可能在演艺界成功的，而她们的勇气和才华让她们成功了，这个节目和舞台给予了她们一个实现个人梦想的机会。这样看来，与众不同好像没有那么难。从不同的方面审视，我们每个人都是不同的。但是我想，与众不同是一件好事，因为你代表了不一样的观点，你拥有了做改变的机会。
my generation has been very fortunate to witne and participate in the historic transformation of china that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton--it’s still after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, “So, mi Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?” I summoned my--

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。
id 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 im writing anything, but id already finished editing the piece, and i realized that i had never once in my life looked up the word “disabled” to see what id 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 id 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 im 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 wasnt 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 im celebrated for the opportunities and adventures my life has procured.
so, i immediately went to look up the online edition, epecting to find a revision worth noting. heres the updated version of this entry. unfortunately, its not much better. i find the last two words under “near antonyms,” particularly unsettling: “whole” and “wholesome.”
so, its not just about the words. its what we believe about people when we name them with these words. its 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 eistence. so, what reality do we want to call into eistence: a person who is limited, or a person whos empowered? by casually doing something as simple as naming a person, a child, we might be putting lids and casting shadows on their power. wouldnt we want to open doors for them instead?
one such person who opened doors for me was my childhood doctor at the 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 eception of my physical therapy sessions. i had to do what seemed like innumerable repetitions of eercises 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 eercises, unsuccessfully, of course. and, one day, he came in to my session -- ehaustive and unforgiving, these sessions -- and he said to me, “wow. aimee, you are such a strong and powerful little girl, i think youre going to break one of those bands. when you do break it, im going to give you a hundred bucks.”
now, of course, this was a simple ploy on dr. ps part to get me to do the eercises i didnt 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 eperience for me. and i have to wonder today to what etent 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 eample 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 isnt allowing us to evolve into the reality that we would all want, the possibility of an individual to see themselves as capable. our language hasnt 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, its an interesting thing, because people have continually wanted to talk to me about overcoming adversity, and im going to make an admission: this phrase never sat right with me, and i always felt uneasy trying to answer peoples questions about it, and i think im 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 eperience unscathed or unmarked by the eperience, 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 im going to suggest that this is a good thing. adversity isnt an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. its part of our life. and i tend to think of it like my shadow. sometimes i see a lot of it, sometimes theres very little, but its always with me. and, certainly, im not trying to diminish the impact, the weight, of a persons struggle.
there is adversity and challenge in life, and its all very real and relative to every single person, but the question isnt whether or not youre going to meet adversity, but how youre 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 theyre not equipped to adapt. theres an important difference and distinction between the objective medical fact of my being an amputee and the subjective societal opinion of whether or not im disabled. and, truthfully, the only real and consistent disability ive 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 epected quality of their life, we have to make sure that we dont put the first brick in a wall that will actually disable someone. perhaps the eisting 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 someones worth to our community. so we need to see through the pathology and into the range of human capability. and, most importantly, theres a partnership between those perceived deficiencies and our greatest creative ability. so its 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, were 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: its 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 darwins 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 were tested, we dont know what were made of. maybe thats 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 havent adapted ourselves to yet.
i think the greatest adversity that weve created for ourselves is this idea of normalcy. now, whos normal? theres no normal. theres common, theres typical. theres no normal, and would you want to meet that poor, beige person if they eisted? (laughter) i dont 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. theres evidence that neanderthals, 60,000 years ago, carried their elderly and those with serious physical injury, and perhaps its because the life eperience of survival of these people proved of value to the community. they didnt 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 isnt aimee mullins.” and i turn around, and its this older man. i have no idea who he is.
and i said, “im sorry, sir, have we met? i dont remember meeting you.”
he said, “well, you wouldnt remember meeting me. i mean, when we met i was delivering you from your mothers 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 mothers stories of that day, because, of course, typical fashion, i arrived late for my birthday by two weeks. and so my mothers 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 youve been making liar out of me ever since.” (laughter) (applause)
the etraordinary 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 someones life. and dr. kean went on to tell me, he said, “in my eperience, 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 theres a difference between the medical condition and what someone might do with it. and theres 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 wouldnt have hesitated for a second. i aspired to that kind of normalcy back then. but if you ask me today, im not so sure. and its because of the eperiences ive had with them, not in spite of the eperiences ive had with them. and perhaps this shift in me has happened because ive been eposed 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 youre 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. youre teaching them to open doors for themselves. in fact, the eact 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. its called the streaming trials. we call it “tracking” here in the states. its 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 as, told them they were “as,” 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 “ds.” and thats 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 didnt know a switch had been made. they were simply told, “these are the a-students, these are the d-students.” and thats how they went about teaching them and treating them.
so, i think that the only true disability is a crushed spirit, a spirit thats been crushed doesnt have hope, it doesnt 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.
id 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 donts, 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)
我知道你们在想什么，你们觉得我迷路了，马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带回我的座位上。（掌声）。我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。“来这里度假的吗，亲爱的？”（笑声）“来探望孩子的吗？这次要待多久呢？ 恩，事实上，我希望能再待久一点。我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。（掌声）这段时间里，我看到了很多变化。现在这份数据是挺吓人的，而我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的朋友，她在阿布达比教成人英语。在一个晴朗的日子里，她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。但最后却变成是她在学习所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些植物是如何被用作药材，化妆品，烹饪，香草。这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢？当然是从他们的祖父母，甚至曾祖父母那里得来的。不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented language dies every 14 , at the same time, english is the undisputed global there be a connection? well i dont i do know that ive seen a lot of i first came out to the gulf, i came to kuwait in the days when it was still a hardship , not that long is a little bit too neverthele, i was recruited by the british council along with about 25 other we were the first non-muslims to teach in the state schools there in were brought to teach english because the government wanted to modernize the country and empower the citizens through of course, the from some of that lovely oil wealth.但遗憾的是，今天很多语言正在以前所未有的速度消失。每14天就有一种语言消失，而与此同时，英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。这其中有关联吗？我不知道。但我知道的是，我见证过许多改变。初次来到海湾地区时，我去了科威特。当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。其实，没有那么久啦，这有点太久以前了。总之，我和其他25位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师，在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语，是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然，英国也能得到些好处，产油国可是很有钱的。 this is the major change that ive seen--how teaching english has morphed from being a mutually english-speaking nation on why not? after all, the best education--according to the latest world university rankings--is to be found in the universities of the the everybody wants to have an english education, if youre not a native speaker, you have to pa a test.言归正传，我见过最大的改变，就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科，也不再只是英国的专利。英语（教学）已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。何乐而不为呢？毕竟，最好的教育来自于最好的大学，而根据最新的世界大学排名，那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育，但如果你不是以英文为母语，你就要通过考试。now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability well, i dont think english teachers reject them all the put a stop sign, and we stop them in their cant pursue their dream any longer, till they get let me put it this way, if i met a dutch speaker who had the cure for cancer, would i stop him from entering my british university? i dont think indeed, that is exactly what we english teachers are the you have to satisfy us first that your english is good it can be dangerous to give too much power to a narrow segment of the barrier would be too universal.但仅凭语言能力就拒绝学生这样对吗？譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学家，但他会需要有和律师一样的语言能力吗？我不这么认为。但身为英语老师的我们，却总是拒绝他们。我们处处设限，将学生挡在路上，使他们无法再追求自己的梦想，直到他们通过考试。现在容我换一个方式说，如果我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人，而这个人能治愈癌症，我会阻止他进入我的英国大学吗？我想不会。但事实上，我们的确在做这种事。我们这些英语老师就是把关的。你必须先让我们满意，使我们认定你的英文够好。但这可能是危险的。把太多的权力交由这么小的一群人把持，也许会令这种障碍太过普及。, i hear you say, what about the research? its all in the books are in english, the journals are done in english, but that is a feeds the english so it goes ask you, what happened to translation? if you think about the islamic golden age, there was lots of translation translated from latin and greek into arabic, into persian, and then it was translated on into the germanic languages of europe and the romance so light shone upon the dark ages of dont get me wrong;i am not against teaching english, all you english teachers out love it that we have a global need one today more than i am against using it as a we really want to end up with 600 languages and the main one being english, or chinese? we need more than do we draw the line? this system equates intelligence with a knowledge of english which is quite.于是，我听到你们问但是研究呢?研究报告都要用英文。”的确，研究论著和期刊都要用英文发表，但这只是一种理所当然的现象。有英语要求，自然就有英语供给，然后就这么循环下去。我倒想问问大家，为什么不用翻译呢？想想伊斯兰的黄金时代，当时翻译盛行，人们把拉丁文和希腊文翻译成阿拉伯文或波斯文，然后再由拉伯文或波斯文翻译为欧洲的日耳曼语言以及罗曼语言。于是文明照亮了欧洲的黑暗时代。但不要误会我的意思，我不是反对英语教学或是在座所有的英语老师。我很高兴我们有一个全球性的语言，这在今日尤为重要。但我反对用英语设立障碍。难道我们真希望世界上只剩下600种语言，其中又以英文或中文为主流吗？我们需要的不只如此。那么我们该如何拿捏呢？这个体制把智能和英语能力画上等号这是相当武断的。
and i want to remind you that the giants upon whose shoulders todays stand did not have to have english, they didnt have to pa an english in point, , by the way, was considered remedial at school because he was, in fact, fortunately for the world, he did not have to pa an english they didnt start until 1964 with toefl, the american test of its are lots and lots of tests of millions and millions of students take these tests every you might think, you and me, those fees arent bad, theyre okay, but they are prohibitive to so many millions of poor immediately, were rejecting them.我想要提醒你们，扶持当代知识分子的这些“巨人肩膀不必非得具有英文能力，他们不需要通过英语考试。爱因斯坦就是典型的例子。顺便说一下，他在学校还曾被认为需要课外补习，因为他其实有阅读障碍。但对整个世界来说,很幸运的当时他不需要通过英语考试，因为他们直到1964年才开始使用托福。现在英语测验太泛滥了，有太多太多的英语测验，以及成千上万的学生每年都在参加这些考试。现在你会认为，你和我都这么想，这些费用不贵，价钱满合理的。但是对数百万的穷人来说，这些费用高不可攀。所以，当下我们又拒绝了他们。it brings to mind a headline i saw recently: education: the great i get it, i understand why people would focus on want to give their children the best chance in to do that, they need a western , of course, the best jobs go to people out of the western universities, that i put on a circular thing.这使我想起最近看到的一个新闻标题：“教育：大鸿沟”现在我懂了。我了解为什么大家都重视英语，因为他们希望给孩子最好的人生机会。为了达成这目的，他们需要西方教育。毕竟，不可否认，最好的工作都留给那些西方大学毕业出来的人。就像我之前说的，这是一种循环。
me tell you a story about two scientists, two english were doing an experiment to do with genetics and the forelimbs and the hind limbs of they couldnt get the results they really didnt know what to do, until along came a german scientist who realized that they were using two words for forelimb and hind limb, whereas genetics does not differentiate and neither does bingo, problem you cant think a thought, you are if another language can think that thought, then, by cooperating, we can achieve and learn so much more.好，我跟你们说一个关于两位科学家的故事：有两位英国科学家在做一项实验，是关于遗传学的，以及动物的前、后肢。但他们无法得到他们想要的结果。他们真的不知道该怎么办，直到来了一位德国的科学家。他发现在英文里前肢和后肢是不同的二个字，但在遗传学上没有区别。在德语也是同一个字。所以，叮！问题解决了。如果你不能想到一个念头，你会卡在那里。但如果另一个语言能想到那念头，然后通过合作我们可以达成目的，也学到更多。我的女儿从科威特来到英格兰，她在阿拉伯的学校学习科学和数学。那是所阿拉伯中学。在学校里，她得把这些知识翻译成英文，而她在班上却能在这些学科上拿到最好的成绩。这告诉我们，当外籍学生来找我们，我们可能无法针对他们所知道的给予赞赏，因为那是来自于他们母语的知识。当一个语言消失时，我们不知道还有什么也会一并失去。this is--i dont know if you saw it on cnn recently--they gave the heroes award to a young kenyan shepherd boy who couldnt study at night in his village like all the village children,篇2：杨澜ted演讲稿中英文 yang lan: the generation thats remaking china the night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final of chinas got talent show in shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the who was the performing guest?susan i told her, im going to scotland the next sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in chinese.[chinese]so its not like hello or thank you, that ordinary means green onion for did she say that?

在来爱尔兰的前一晚，我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。猜猜谁是表演嘉宾？——苏珊大妈。我告诉她，“我明天要去爱尔兰了。” 她歌声犹如天籁。而且她还可以说点中文。
“送你葱。” 这不是“你好、谢谢”之类的日常用语。这组词翻译过来是免费给你青葱，为什么她要说这个呢？因为这是我们中国版的苏珊大妈很有名的一句歌词。
这位五十几岁的大妈在上海以贩卖蔬菜为生。她喜欢西方的歌剧，但是她不懂任何外语，所以她就把中文蔬菜名填做歌词。当她在体育场里 唱到今夜无人入眠的最后一句时，她唱的是“送你葱”。苏珊大妈和全场八万观众一起唱“送你葱”，多有意思的场面。我想苏珊大妈和这位在上海做蔬菜买卖的都属于不同寻常的人。在业界所谓的娱乐圈，他们最不可能取得成功，但是他们的勇气和才华让他们成功了。一场秀，一个平台给了他们实现梦想的舞台。与众不同不难，从不同的角度看我们都是不一样的。我认为与众不同是好的，因为你有不同的看法，这给你机会去产生不同的影响。我们这代人有幸见证和参与了过去二三十年中国的历史性的转型。
我记得在九十年代，刚从大学毕业的我申请了一份在北京五星级酒店销售部的工作。在日本经理一个半小时的面试后，他最后说：“杨小姐，你有什么问题要问我吗？”我鼓起勇气，定定神然后问道：“您能告诉我销售部到底销售什么？”我对于五星级酒店的销售部的职责一点都摸不着头脑。那是我在五星级酒店的第一天。
同时，我和上千名大学女生参加了一场由中国中央电视台举办的史无前例的公开选拔。制作人告诉我们他们想找一位可爱，天真，美丽的新面孔。当轮到我时，我站起来说道，“为什么女孩在电视上必须是漂亮，甜美，无邪的，像个花瓶？为什么她们不能有她们的想法，她们自己的声音？”
我想我一定得罪了评委。但是事实上，我的发言给他们留下了深刻的印象。接下来我进入了第二轮的选拔，然后是第三轮，第四轮。在经过七轮的选拔后，我胜出了。成为了一个国家电视台黄金时段节目的主持人。
不管你们相不相信，那是中国电视上第一个节目可以允许主持人自由发挥而不是去读审查后的稿子。这个节目的观众人数高达两到三千万。
几年后，我决定去美国哥伦比亚大学进修。之后我有了自己的传媒公司，这是在我刚毕业的时候想都不敢想的。
我和我的团队做了很多事情。在过去的这些年，我采访了上千人。有时候有年轻人走过来对我说：“杨澜，你改变了我的生活。”我也为此而自豪。
今天我想讲讲在社交媒体这个大舞台上的年轻人 matt cutts ted中英文对照双语演讲稿 try something new for 30 days 小计划帮你实现大目标
——google工程师matt cutts在ted的励志演讲稿 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 idea is actually pretty about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 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。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。
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。” so here’s one last thing i’d like to menti learned that when i made small, sustainable changes, things i could keep doing, they were more likely to ’s nothing wrong with big, crazy fact, they’re a ton of they’re le likely to 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。so here’s my question to you: what are you waiting for? i guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pa 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 next 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。matt cutts简介： matt cutts是google所有工程师中最广为人知的一个，因为他几乎每天都在自己的blog上面和读者们分享与google相关的一切信息，包括技术与非技术类。matt写的文章深入浅出，简明易懂，实用价值很高，因此他在互联网上具有相当高的名气。简言之，matt cutts是google的anti-spam之王。
