TED演讲
Joe Sabia: The technology of storytelling
Ladies and gentlemen, gather around. I would love to share with you a story. Once upon a time in 19th century Germany, there was the book. Now during this time, the book was the king of storytelling. It was venerable. It was ubiquitous. But it was a little bit boring. Because in its 400 years of existence, storytellers never evolved the book as a storytelling device. But then one author arrived, and he changed the game forever. His name was Lothar, Lothar Meggendorfer. Lothar Meggendorfer put his foot down, and he said, "Genug ist genug!" He grabbed his pen, he snatched his scissors. This man refused to fold to the conventions of normalcy and just decided to fold. History would know Lothar Meggendorfer as -- who else? -- the world's first true inventor of the children's pop-up book. For this delight and for this wonder, people rejoiced. They were happy because the story survived, and that the world would keep on spinning.
Lothar Meggendorfer wasn't the first to evolve the way a story was told, and he certainly wasn't the last. Whether storytellers realized it or not, they were channeling Meggendorfer's spirit when they moved opera to vaudville, radio news to radio theater, film to film in motion to film in sound, color, 3D,on VHS and on DVD. There seemed to be no cure for this Meggendorferitis.
And things got a lot more fun when the Internet came around. Because, not only could people broadcast their stories throughout the world, but they could do so using what seemed to be an infinite amount of devices. For example, one company would tell a story of love through its very own search engine. One Taiwanese production studio would interpret American politics in 3D. And one man would tell the stories of his father by using a platform called Twitter to communicate the excrement his father would gesticulate.
And after all this, everyone paused; they took a step back. They realized that, in 6,000 years of storytelling, they've gone from depicting hunting on cave walls to depicting Shakespeare on Facebook walls. And this was a cause for celebration. The art of storytelling has remained unchanged. And for the most part, the stories are recycled. But the way that humans tell the stories has always evolved with pure, consistent novelty.
And they remembered a man, one amazing German, every time a new storytelling
device popped up next. And for that, the audience -- the lovely, beautiful audience -- would live happily ever after.

先生们女士们，大家都围坐过来，让我来给你们讲个故事。
很久很久以前 19世纪的德国，有本书。那时候，这是故事书中的王者，故事书很珍贵，但又无处不在，又有点无趣。因为在有故事书的四百年里，讲故事的人们从来没有改良故事书作为辅助设备。后来有个作家，他永远地改写了历史。他叫罗萨，罗萨?梅根多尔弗尔。罗萨?梅根多尔弗尔下了决心，他说：“我受够了！”他抓起笔，抄起剪刀。他决意不走寻常路。他折起了纸。历史上的罗萨?梅根多尔弗尔作为什么人被记载下来？世界上第一个为孩子发明立体书的人。人们享受着这喜悦和惊奇。他们很高兴故事保存下来，世界继续转动。
罗萨?梅根多尔弗尔不是第一个改进讲故事方法的人。也不会是最后一个。不管讲故事的人是否意识到，当他们从歌剧到杂技，从电台新闻到电台剧院，从影像到电影，到有声电影，彩色电影和3D电影，从家用录像到DVD，他们都是在传承梅根多尔弗尔的精神。没有什么能阻止梅根多尔弗尔的精神。
互联网的问世则带来了更多的乐趣。因为人们不但可以向世界讲述他们的故事，而且可以利用各种各样的设备来讲故事。比如有个公司通过它的搜索引擎，讲述一个爱情故事。一个台湾工作室把美国政治做成3D动画。有个人通过一个叫做推特的平台，讲述他父亲的故事，分享他父亲说的无用废话。
在有了这一切之后，人们停下脚步，回望过去。他们意识到在六千年讲故事的历史中，他们从在洞穴墙壁上画狩猎图，到在脸书的涂鸦墙上诠释莎士比亚。这是让我们庆祝的原因。讲故事的艺术没有改变，大部分故事流传下来但是人们讲故事的方法已经通过不断创新，不停地改进。
人们会记住一个人，一个伟大的德国人。每一次一个新的讲故事的设备问世，都会想起他。由此观众们，可爱美丽的观众们，也从此永远幸福快乐地生活在一起。
Richard St. John: 8 secrets of success
This is really a two-hour presentation I give to high school students, cut down to three minutes. And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago. And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager, and she came from a really poor family. And she wanted to make something of her life, and she asked me a simple little question. She said, "What leads to success?"And I felt really badly, because I couldn't give her a good answer.
So I get off the plane, and I come to TED. And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle of a room of successful people! So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed, and pass it on to kids? So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later, and I'm going to tell you what really leads to success and makes TEDsters tick.
And the first thing is passion. Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion." TEDsters do it for love; they don't do it for money.
Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do." And the interesting thing is: if you do it for love, the money comes anyway.
Work! Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun." Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes!
TEDsters do have fun working. And they work hard. I figured, they're not workaholics.
They're workafrolics. Good!
Alex Garden says, "To be successful, put your nose down in something and get damn good at it."There's no magic; it's practice, practice, practice.
And it's focus. Norman Jewison said to me, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."
And push! David Gallo says, "Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you've got to push, push, push."You've got to push through shyness and self-doubt.
Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts. I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart enough. I didn't think I'd make it."
Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers.
Frank Gehry said to me, "My mother pushed me."
Serve! Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor."
A lot of kids want to be millionaires. The first thing I say is: "OK, well you can't serve yourself; you've got to serve others something of value. Because that's the way people really get rich."
Ideas! TEDster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea: founding the first micro-computer software company."I'd say it was a pretty good idea. And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas -- it's just doing some very simple things. And I give lots of evidence.
Persist! Joe Kraus says, "Persistence is the number one reason for our success." You've got to persist through failure. You've got to persist through crap! Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure."
So, the answer to this question is simple: Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED.
Or failing that, do the eight things -- and trust me, these are the big eight things that lead to success.
Thank you TEDsters for all your interviews!

这真的是一个我给高中学生做的2个小时的演讲，现在缩到了3分钟。所有的一切都是从7年前的一天开始，我坐在飞往TED会议的飞机上。在我邻座坐的是一个高中生，一个十几岁的年轻人。她生于一个贫穷的家庭而且她的愿望是成就一番事业。所以她问了我一个简单的小问题。她说：“怎样做才能成功呢？”我当时觉得糟透了。因为我不能给她一个满意的答案。后来我下了飞机，来到TED 忽然间我想到，天啊，我置身于一屋子成功人士之中！为什么我不问问他们是怎样走向成功的呢。这样我就可以把答案告诉孩子们了。所以就这样，7年中我坐了500次采访。现在我就要告诉你们是什么带来了成功。是什么启发了TED演讲者们。第一点是激情。 Freeman Thomas说：“我总是被我的热情所牵引着”。 TED的讲演者因为有爱才做事情，不是为了钱。 Carol Colletta 说：“我会付给别人钱去做我的工作。”有趣的是如果你是为了爱而做的，钱自然而然就来了。刻苦！Rupert Murdoch曾经告诉过我“都是刻苦“为努力”“天下没有白吃的午餐。但是我得到了很多乐趣。”他提到了乐趣？？Rupert？是的！TED讲演者都有一份充满乐趣的工作，而且他们都很刻苦。我觉得，他们都不是工作狂，他们是享受工作狂。精通！Alex Garden说：”要想成功，就要真的深入其中““然后做到精通。”想要做到精通没有秘诀，就是练习，练习，再练习。还有就是专注。Norman Jewison 告诉过我，“我想成功就要使自己专注于一件事情”强迫！David Gallo说：“强迫你自己，”“心灵上，神情上。你一定要强迫，强迫，强迫。”“你要强迫自己去战胜羞涩和自我怀疑” Goldie Hawn说：“我总是怀疑自己。怀疑自己不够优秀，不用聪明。我从不相信我会成功。”想要成功地强迫自己并不总容易，这就是为什么要发明妈妈。 Frank Gehry-Frank Gehry对我说： "我妈妈过去总是督促我。" 服务！Sherwin Nuland说：“能够作为一名医生为他人服务是一种荣幸。”现在很多孩子告诉我他们想成为百万富翁。但是一件事我对他们说的
是，“好的，但是你不能为你自己服务，”“你需要为他人提供对他人有利的服务。””因为这就是人们致富的方式。“点子。TED演讲者Bill Gates 说：”我曾经有过一个点子，“”成立第一个微机软件公司。“我必须承认这真的是很好的一个点子。对于能想出点子的创造力来讲没有什么魔力可言。都是些简单平常的事情。而且我可以举出很多证据。坚持。Joe Kraus说“恒心是我们成功地第一条原因。”“你必须坚持度过失败，你必须坚持度过crap”。”这里的crap是指”批评，拒绝，卑鄙小人和压力“。所以，这个问题的答案很简单：付4000块来TED会场。如果不能来，就做到以上八点---相信我，这重要的八点就是通向成功的秘诀。谢谢TED讲演者参与我的采访！
Siegfried Woldhek: The search for the true face of Leonardo
Good morning. Let's look for a minute at the greatest icon of all, Leonardo da Vinci. We're all familiar with his fantastic work -- his drawings, his paintings, his inventions, his writings. But we do not know his face. Thousands of books have been written about him, but there's controversy, and it remains, about his looks. Even this well-known portrait is not accepted by many art historians.
So, what do you think? Is this the face of Leonardo da Vinci or isn't it? Let's find
out. Leonardo was a man that drew everything around him. He drew people, anatomy, plants, animals, landscapes, buildings, water, everything. But no faces? I find that hard to believe. His contemporaries made faces, like the ones you see here -- en face or
three-quarters. So, surely a passionate drawer like Leonardo must have made self-portraits from time to time. So let's try to find them.
I think that if we were to scan all of his work and look for self-portraits, we would find his face looking at us. So I looked at all of his drawings, more than 700, and looked for male portraits. There are about 120, you see them here. Which ones of these could be
self-portraits? Well, for that they have to be done as we just saw, en face or
three-quarters. So we can eliminate all the profiles. It also has to be sufficiently detailed. So we can also eliminate the ones that are very vague or very stylized. And we know from his contemporaries that Leonardo was a very handsome, even beautiful man. So we can also eliminate the ugly ones or the caricatures.
And look what happens -- only three candidates remain that fit the bill. And here they are. Yes, indeed, the old man is there, as is this famous pen drawing of the Homo Vitruvianus. And lastly, the only portrait of a male that Leonardo painted, "The Musician." Before we go into these faces, I should explain why I have some right to talk about them. I've made more than 1,100 portraits myself for newspapers, over the course of 300 -- 30 years, sorry, 30 years only. But there are 1,100, and very few artists have drawn so many faces. So I know a little about drawing and analyzing faces. OK, now let's look at these three portraits. And hold onto your seats, because if we zoom in on those faces, remark how they have the same broad forehead, the horizontal eyebrows, the long nose, the curved lips and the small, well-developed chin.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw that. There is no reason why these portraits should look alike. All we did was look for portraits that had the characteristics of a
self-portrait, and look, they are very similar. Now, are they made in the right order? The young man should be made first. And as you see here from the years that they were created, it is indeed the case. They are made in the right order. What was the age of Leonardo at the time? Does that fit? Yes, it does. He was 33, 38 and 63 when these were made.
So we have three pictures, potentially of the same person of the same age as Leonardo at the time. But how do we know it's him, and not someone else? Well, we need a reference. And here's the only picture of Leonardo that's widely accepted. It's a statue made by Verrocchio, of David, for which Leonardo posed as a boy of 15. And if we now compare the face of the statue, with the face of the musician, you see the very same features
again. The statue is the reference, and it connects the identity of Leonardo to those three faces.
Ladies and gentlemen, this story has not yet been published. It's only proper that you here at TED hear and see it first. The icon of icons finally has a face. Here he is: Leonardo da Vinci.
译文：
早上好。让我们先花一分钟的时间来看看伟大的传奇人物列奥纳多·达·芬奇。我们对他的杰作是再熟悉不过了──他的画作、他的发明、他的写作。但我们却不知道他长什么样。虽然关于他的著作成百上千，但对于他的样貌，人们仍旧是充满分歧。即使是这幅著名的肖像画，也无法得到很多艺术史学家的认可。
你们觉得呢？这到底是不是列奥纳多·达·芬奇的面孔呢？让我们一同寻找答
案。达·芬奇是一个会画身边各种事物的人。他画过人物、人体结构、动植物、风景、建筑、江河湖海、各种事物。但却从来没有画过脸？我觉得这有点让人难以置信。他同时代的画家都画过自画像，就好比你们现在看到的这些。正面或者是四分之三的侧面像。所以像达·芬奇这样充满热情的画家也一定会时不时地画些自画像。就让我们试着把他们给找出来。
我认为如果我们仔细查阅他所有的作品，并从中寻找自画像，我们就可以发现他的面孔。于是我认真查看了他所有的画，700多幅，从中寻找男士的画像。这里所看到的，就是我找到的120幅。这里面有哪些有可能是自画像呢？就如我们前面所看到的，自画像一定要是正面或者四分之三侧面的才可以。所以我们排除所有的侧面画像。自画像也应该有充分的细节。所以我们也可以排除那些模糊不清的或者是过于风格化的画像。同时我们从达·芬奇同时代的人中也了解到达·芬奇长得非常帅气，甚至可以说是美男子。这样一来，我们又排除了那些长得丑的以及那些漫画像。
现在再来看一看──只剩下三个符合条件的候选画像了。就是这三张。的确，老人画像是其中之一，这幅著名的铅笔画《维特鲁威人》也在其中。最后一幅就是达·芬奇所画的唯一一幅男性肖像油画《音乐家肖像》。
在我们开始研究这些面孔之前，我应该解释一下我有什么资格在这里发表关于他们的评论。我画过超过1100张的人物画像，为各类报纸所做，历时300多──30多年，不好意思，只有30多年。但还是画了1100张。很少有画家画过这么多张脸。所以我对绘画和分析脸孔还是略知一二的。好了，现在让我们来看看这三幅画像。你们可要坐好了，因为如果我们将这些脸孔放大的话，我们就会发现他们都有着同样宽广的额头、平直的眉毛、高长的鼻子、弯曲的嘴唇、小而丰满的下颚。
当我第一次注意到这一切的时候，我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。这些画像怎么可能如此相像。我们只是搜寻有自画像特色的肖像，但找到的画像却是如此得相像。问题是，他们是不是依照正确的时间顺序绘制的呢？年轻人的画像应该是最先绘制的。而如果你们看看这些画像创作的年份，就会发现事实的确如此。他们是按照正确的时间顺序绘制的。而达·芬奇在创作这些画像的时候的年龄又是多大呢？和画中人的年龄相符吗？是的，完全相符。他在创作这些画像的时候分别是33岁、38岁和63岁。
也就是说，我们现在这里的三幅画像，有可能是同一个人的画像，平且画中人和达·芬奇创作这些画像时的年龄是一致的。但我们如何知道这画中之人是达·芬奇而不是别人呢？我们需要一个可供参考的标准。这里是唯一一幅被广泛接受的达·芬奇的照片，是韦罗基奥创作的大卫雕像，由15岁的达·芬奇当作人体模特。如果我们把这个雕塑的脸和之前那个音乐家的脸相比较的话，我们就会再次发现之前那些相同的特征。这个雕像就是参考物，将达·芬奇的身份同那三张脸联系起来。
女士们、先生们，这个故事暂未发表，由在座的TED观众们对之先睹为快是再为合适不过了。伟人中的伟人终于有了脸孔。他就是──列奥纳多·达·芬奇。
从TED演讲里学到20种最实用的演讲技巧
当越来越多的听众沉迷于研究演讲的技巧时，其实有一些简单易行的方法可能直接影响你演讲的最终效果。以下是一些在准备演讲、练习演讲以及提升演讲技巧方面的小窍门。必须一提的是，每一个小技巧都出自一个精彩TED演讲内容。你不仅能从这些伟大的演讲者身上学到这些实用技巧，更可以拓宽你的思路。 本文原本于刊登于美国著名《INC.》主流商业报刊网站上，英锐君特意进行中文翻译以方便更多的人学习到这些极为有用演讲的技巧。 1别忘了给听众一些能带回家的话 Dan Ariely:别忘了时常给听众讲一些易于操作的方法。因为无论你的演讲信息 多么鼓舞人心，其实听众更关心的是能从中学到任何可实践的方法。有启发的演讲当然很棒，但远比不上一个实用的点子：请永远不用害怕去说“今晚，还在苦 苦挣扎的他们，明天这些观念和方法就会拯救他们”。 2回答问题时，不要迟疑 Malcolm Gladwell:如果在你正在演讲的过程中，突然有人打断你来问问题。那其实很棒，说明有人在听啊！请抓住这个时机。如果这个问题是你之后幻灯片里将提到的，可以先行跳过（如果你已经熟练应对这样的处境）。其实，最好的演讲就像在舒服的对话一般，即便看上去像是单向的。所以，不要放过任何可制造互动的机会，也绝不要试图脱离你的听众。 3问一个你也无法做到的问题 Nigel Marsh:当你问听众问题时，他们总显得很被动。相反，如果当你问一个你已经预设听众“做不到”的问题时，你同样也可自我回答“没关系，其实我也做不到”。接着就解释你为什么做不到以及哪些是你试图做到的。其实，大部分的演讲者总是看上去光鲜的，事实上他们同样在工作生活上也常常感到无能为力，只是他们愿不愿意承认罢了。适时地承认自己的“无能”不仅可以给人亲切感，听众也更愿意听你“有能”的地方。

杨澜ted演讲稿中文 欢迎来到聘才网，以下是聘才小编为大家搜索整理的，欢迎大家阅读。 杨澜ted演讲稿中文 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 stadium. Guewho was the performing guest? Susan Boyle. And 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. So it's not like "hello" or "thank you," that ordinary stuff. It means "green onion for free." Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious.
TED演讲--如何掌控你的自由时间
How to Man age Your Free Time Which is true. That's like finding an extra hour in the day. But rm sure if you had asked her at the start of the week, "Could you find seve n hours to train for a triathl on?" And so the key to time man ageme nt is treat ing our priorities as the equivale nt of that broke n water heater. To get at this, I like to use Ian guage from one of the busiest people I ever in terviewed. By busy, I mean she was running a small bus in ess with 12 people on the payroll, she had six childre n in her spare time. I was gett ing in touch with her to set up an in terview on how she "had it all"…that phrase. I remember it was a Thursday morning, and she was not available to speak with me. Of course, right? But the reas on she was un available to speak with me is that she was out for a hike, because it was a beautiful spri ng morning, and she wan ted to go for a hike. So of course this makes me eve n more in trigued, and whe n I fin ally do catch up with her, she expla ins it like this. She says, "Liste n Laura, everyth ing I do, every mi nute I spe nd, is my choice." And rather tha n say, "I don't have time to do x, y or z, "she'd say, "I don't do x, y or z because it's not a priority." "I don't have time, "ofte n means " It's n ot a priority." If you thi nk about it, that's really more accurate Ian guage. I could tell you I don't have time to dust to dust my bli nds, but that's not true. If you offered to pay me $100,000 to dust my bli nds, I would get to it pretty quickly. Since that is not going to happe n, I can ack no wledge this is not a matter of lacki ng time, it's that I don't want to do it. Using this Ian guage reminds us that time is a choice. And gra nted, there may be horrible con seque nces for maki ng differe nt choices, I will give you that. But we are smart people, and certai nly over the long run, we have the power to fill our lives with the things that deserve to be there. So how do we do that? How do we treat our priorities as the equivale nt of that broke n water heater? But you can write it.

TED演讲内容(中英)
张彤禾 HI，So I'd like to talk little bit about the people 嗨，今天我想来探讨一下 Who make the things we use every day; 这些为我们制造日常用品的人们： Our shoes，our handbags,our computers and cell phones, 例如我们的鞋子，手提包，电脑，还有手机。 Now, this is a conversatuon that often calls up a lot of guilt. 这个话题时常让我们觉得很内疚。 Imagine the teenage farm girl who makes less than 想象一下，一个年轻的农村女孩给你缝制跑步鞋 a dollar an hour stitching your running shoes, 可每个小时还赚不到一美金， Or the young Chinese man who jumps off a rooftop 又或者是那个加班为你组装ipad的中国小伙子 after working overtime assembling your ipad 在加班之后从楼上跳了下来。 We，the beneficiaries of globalization,seem to exploit 我们，是全球化的受益者， These victims with every purchase we make, 可每笔交易却似乎都是在剥削那些受害者， and the injustice 而这种不公平 Feels embedded in the products themselves. 似乎也深深烙印在这些产品之中。 After all, what’s wrong with the world in which a worker 总而言之，这个世界到底怎么了？ On an iphone assembly line can’t even afford to buy one? 一个在组装iphone 生产线上的员工却买不起一台iphone？It's taken for granted that chinese factories are oppressive, 人们理所当然地认为，中国的工厂就是应该被压榨的，And that it’s our desire for cheap goods 因为我们渴求便宜的产品 That makes them so。 造成了这样的局面。 So,this simple narrative equating Weatern demand 很显然，西方社会的需求 And Chinese suffering is appealing, 和中国人对他们遭遇的申诉被连接在一起， especially at a time when many of us already feel guilty 尤其是当我们中的很多人已经因为我们对世界影响 About our impact on the world, 而感到了内疚， But it's also inaccurate and disrespectful.
Ted中英对照演讲稿.
Ted中英对照演讲稿 大人能从小孩身上学到什么 Now, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens, we are called childish, which really bothers me. After all, take a look at these events: Imperialism and colonization, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourself: Who's responsible? Adults. 首先我要问大家一个问题：上一回别人说你幼稚是什么时候？像我这样的小孩，可能经常会被 人说成是幼稚。每一次我们提出不合理的要求，做出不负责任的行为，或者展现出有别于普通美 国公民的惯常行为之时，我们就被说成是幼稚。这让我很不服气。首先，让我们来回顾下这些事件：帝国主义和殖民主义，世界大战，小布什。请你们扪心自问下：这些该归咎于谁？是大人。 Now, what have kids done? Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust, Ruby Bridges helped end segregation in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. The traits the word childish addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking. 而小孩呢，做了些什么？安妮·弗兰克(Anne Frank)对大屠杀强有力的叙述打动了数百万人的心。鲁比·布里奇斯为美国种族隔离的终结作出了贡献。另外，最近还有一个例子，查理·辛普 森（Charlie Simpson）骑自行车为海地募得 12万英镑。所以，这些例子证明了年龄与行为完 全没有关系。 "幼稚"这个词所对应的特点是常常可以从大人身上看到，由此我们在批评不负责 和非理性的相关行为时，应停止使用这个年龄歧视的词。 (Applause) Thank you. Then again, who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren't exactly what the world needs? Maybe you've had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking: That's impossible or that costs too much or that won't
一分钟英语演讲TED
我知道你们在想什么，你们觉得我迷路了，马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带回我的座位上。（掌声）。我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。“来这里度假的吗，亲爱的？”（笑声）“来探望孩子的吗？这次要待多久呢？ 恩，事实上，我希望能再待久一点。我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。（掌声）这段时间里，我看到了很多变化。现在这份数据是挺吓人的，而我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的朋友，她在阿布达比教成人英语。在一个晴朗的日子里，她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。但最后却变成是她在学习所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些植物是如何被用作药材，化妆品，烹饪，香草。这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢？当然是从他们的祖父母，甚至曾祖父母那里得来的。不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。 but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate. a language dies every 14 days. now, at the same time, english is the undisputed global language. could there be a connection? well i dont know. but i do know that ive seen a lot of changes. when i first came out to the gulf, i came to kuwait in the days when it was still a hardship post. actually, not that long ago. that is a little bit too early. but nevertheless, i was recruited by the british council along with about 25 other teachers. and we were the first non-muslims to teach in the state schools there in kuwait. we were brought to teach english because the government wanted to modernize the country and empower the citizens through education. and of course, the u.k. benefited from some of that lovely oil wealth. 但遗憾的是，今天很多语言正在以前所未有的速度消失。每14天就有一种语言消失，而与此同时，英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。这其中有关联吗？我不知道。但我知道的是，我见证过许多改变。初次来到海湾地区时，我去了科威特。当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。其实，没有那么久啦，这有点太久以前了。总之，我和其他25位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师，在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语，是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然，英国也能得到些好处，产油国可是很有钱的。 okay. now this is the major change that ive seen -- how teaching english has morphed from being a mutually english-speaking nation on earth. and why not? after all, the best education -- according to the latest world university rankings -- is to be found in the universities of the u.k. and the u.s. so everybody wants to have an english education, naturally. but if youre not a native speaker, you have to pass a test. 言归正传，我见过最大的改变，就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科，也不再只是英国的专利。英语（教学）已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。何乐而不为呢？毕竟，最好的教育来自于最好的大学，而根据最新的世界大学排名，那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育，但如果你不是以英文为母语，你就要通过考试。 now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability well, i dont think so. we english teachers reject them all the time. we put a stop sign, and we stop them in their tracks. they cant pursue their dream any longer, till they get english. now let me put it this way, if i met a dutch speaker who had the cure for cancer, would i stop him from entering my british university? i dont think so. but indeed, that is exactly what we do. we english

ted演讲中英对照-拖延症
TED演讲——拖延症 拖延症者的思维方式到底是什么样的？为什么有些人非要到deadline来的时候才知道打起精神做事情？是否存在执行力强的人或是说人人都有一定程度的拖延症？Tim Urban从一个被deadline 赶着走的拖延症者的角度带你走进拖延症的神奇思维世界。 中英对照翻译 So in college, I was a government major, which means I had to write a lot of papers. Now, when a normal student writes a paper, they might spread the work out a little like this. So, you know --you get started maybe a little slowly, but you get enough done in the first week that, with some heavier days later on, everything gets done, things stay civil.And I would want to do that like that. That would be the plan. I would have it all ready to go, but then, actually, the paper would come along, and then I would kind of do this. 在大学，我读的是政府专业。也就是说，我需要写很多的论文。一般的学生写论文时，他们可能会这样安排：(看图)你可能开头会慢一点，但第一周有这些已经足够。后期再一点点的增加，最后任务完成，非常的有条理。我也想这么做，所以一开始也是这么计划的。我做了完美的安排(看图)，但后来，实际上论文任务一直出现，我就只能这样了(看图)。 And that would happen every single paper. But then came my 90-page senior thesis, a paper you're supposed to spend a year on. And I knew for a paper like that, my normal work flow was not an option. It was way too big a project. So I planned things out, and I decided I kind of had to go something like this. This is how the year would go. So I'd start off light, and I'd bump it up in the middle months, and then at the end, I would kick it up into high gear just like a little staircase. How hard could it be to walk up the stairs? No big deal, right? 我的每一篇论文都是这种情况，直到我长达90页的毕业论文任务，这篇论文理应花一年的时间来做，我也知道这样的工作，我先前的工作方式是行不通的，这个项目太大，所以我制定了计划。决定按照这样的方式工作，这样来安排我这一年。(看图)开头我会轻松一点，中期任务逐渐增加，到最后，我再全力冲刺一下。整体是这种阶梯式安排，一层一层走楼梯有多难?所以没什么大不了的，是吧? But then, the funniest thing happened. Those first few months? They came and went, and I couldn't quite do stuff. So we had an awesome new revised plan. And then --But then those middle months actually went by, and I didn't really write words, and so we were here.And then two months turned into one month, which turned into two weeks. 但后来，好笑的事情出现了，头几个月时光匆匆而逝，我还没有来得及动工，所以我们明智的调整了计划。然后，中间的几个月也过去了，我还是一个字也没有动，眨眼就到了这里，然后两个月变成了一个月，再变成了2周。 And one day I woke up with three days until the deadline, still not having written a word, and so I did the only thing I could: I wrote 90 pages over 72 hours, pulling not one but two all-nighters -- humans are not supposed to pull two all-nighters -- sprinted across campus, dove in slow motion, and got it in just at the deadline. 一天我醒来，发现离交稿日期只剩3天了，但我还一个字都没写。我别无选择，只能在接下来的72小时里，连续通宵两个晚上赶论文——一般人不应连续通宵两个晚上。90页赶出来后，我飞速冲过校园，像电影中的特写慢镜头一样，恰好在截止日期前的最后一刻交上。 I thought that was the end of everything. But a week later I get a call, and it's the school. And they say, "Is this Tim Urban?" And I say, "Yeah." And they say, "We need to talk about your thesis." And I say, "OK." And they say, "It's the best one we've ever seen." That did not happen.It was a very, very bad thesis. I just wanted to enjoy that one moment when all of you thought, "This guy is amazing!" No, no, it was very, very bad. 我以为事情就这么完了，但一周后，我接到一个电话，是学校打来的。他们说：“你是Tim Urban 吗?”我说：“是。”他们说：“我们要说一说你的毕业论文。”我说：“好啊。”他们说：“这是我见过最棒

ted演讲
CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Hello and welcome to the September 19th edition of - come on, Friday`s are awesome. You wanted to hear it, I wanted to say it. It`s good to have you watching CNN STUDENT NEWS. First up, Scotland, home to more than 5 million people, about the size of South Carolina. Scots have contributed world-changing inventions related to bicycle tires, penicillin, television. Yesterday, they decided on a potentially nation altering question: should Scotland be an independent country? The polls were closed when we produced this show, the vote was over. But it was expected to be very close, and we don`t have results for you yet. For the latest, teachers please visit https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6f1282614.html,. We do have an excellent fact-filled look at how Scotland came to be the division of the United Kingdom that it has been for the past 307 years. BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What we know as modern Scotland was formed in the 13 century when England and Scotland signed the treaty of York. Mapping out Scotland southern border. 60 years later, the countries were at war, with the legendary Scottish rebel William Wallace helping to lead the charge. Wallace`s fight for freedom was a subject of Hollywood blockbuster, Brave Heart. Years of war paid off for Scotland. IN 1328, England recognized Scottish independence in the treaty of North Hampton. In 1603, Queen Elizabeth, the last of the Tudors, died at the age of 69. And that cleared the way for King James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, Queen of Scotts, to become England`s king, too. It was known as the union of the crowns. Just over 100 years later, parliaments of England and Scotland passed the Acts of Union. It joined the two separate states into one. The Kingdom of Great Britain, one parliament, one monarch. (END VIDEOTAPE)
TED演讲：越有钱越无情(中英对照版)解析
越有钱越无情 It's amazing what a rigged game of Monopoly can reveal. In this entertaining but sobering talk, social psychologist Paul Piff shares his research into how people behave when they feel wealthy. (Hint: badly.) But while the problem of inequality is a complex and daunting challenge, there's good news too. (Filmed at TEDx Marin.) 一个被操纵的大富翁游戏能告诉我们的东西竟然有那么多！在这个有趣且发人深省的演讲中，社会心理学家保罗-皮夫分享了他对于“人感到富有时如何表现”的研究结果（暗示：很坏）。在面对异常复杂、异常严峻的不平等问题的同时，我们也听到了好的消息。。（摄于TEDx加州马林县） Paul Piff studies how social hierarchy, inequality and emotion shape relations between individuals and groups. Why you should listen: Paul Piff is an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Social Behavior at the University of California, Irvine. In particular, he studies how wealth (having it or not having it) can affect interpersonal relationships. His surprising studies include running rigged games of Monopoly, tracking how those who drive expensive cars behave versus those driving less expensive vehicles and even determining that rich people are literally more likely to take candy from children than the less well-off. The results often don't paint a pretty picture about the motivating forces of wealth. He writes, "specifically, I have been finding that increased wealth and status in society lead to increased self-focus and, in turn, decreased compassion, altruism, and ethical behavior." What others say: “When was the last time, as Piff puts it, that you prioritized your own interests above the interests of other people? Was it yesterday, when you barked at the waitress for not delivering your cappuccino with sufficient promptness? Perhaps it was last week, when, late to
