0:11 You're looking at a woman who was publicly silent for a decade. Obviously, that's changed, but only recently.
0:22 It was several months ago that I gave my very first major public talk at the Forbes 30 Under 30 summit: 1,500 brilliant people, all under the age of 30. That meant that in 1998, the oldest among the group were only 14, and the youngest, just four. I joked with them that some might only have heard of me from rap songs. Yes, I'm in rap songs. Almost 40 rap songs. (Laughter) 0:57 But the night of my speech, a surprising thing happened. At the age of 41, I was hit on by a 27-year-old guy. I know, right? He was charming and I was flattered, and I declined. You know what his unsuccessful pickup line was? He could make me feel 22 again. (Laughter) (Applause) I realized later that night, I'm probably the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again. (Laughter) (Applause) 1:46 At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss, and at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences. 1:58 Can I see a show of hands of anyone here who didn't make a mistake or do something they regretted at 22? Yep. That's what I thought. So like me, at 22, a few of you may have also taken wrong turns and fallen in love with the wrong person, maybe even your boss. Unlike me, though, your boss probably wasn't the president of the United States of America. Of course, life is full of surprises. 2:35 Not a day goes by that I'm not reminded of my mistake, and I regret that mistake deeply. 2:44 In 1998, after having been swept up into an improbable romance, I was then swept up into the eye of a political, legal and media maelstrom like we had never seen before. Remember, just a few years earlier, news was consumed from just three places: reading a newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, or watching television. That was it. But that wasn't my fate. Instead, this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution. That meant we could access all the information we wanted, when we wanted it, anytime, anywhere, and when the story broke in January 1998, it broke online. It was the first time the traditional news was usurped by the Internet for a major news story, a click that reverberated around the world. 3:51 What that meant for me personally was that overnight I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide. I was patient zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously. 4:14 This rush to judgment, enabled by technology, led to mobs of virtual stone-throwers. Granted, it was before social media, but people could still comment online, email stories, and, of course, email cruel jokes. News sources plastered photos of me all over to sell newspapers, banner ads online, and to keep people tuned to the TV. Do you recall a particular image of me, say, wearing a beret? 4:52 Now, I admit I made mistakes, especially wearing that beret. But the attention and judgment that I received, not the story, but that I personally received, was unprecedented. I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and, of course, that woman. I was seen by many but actually known by few. And I get it: it was easy to forget that that woman was dimensional, had a soul, and was once unbroken. 5:40 When this happened to me 17 years ago, there was no name for it. Now we call it cyberbullying and online harassment. Today, I want to share some of my experience with you, talk about how that experience has helped shape my cultural observations, and how I hope my past experience can lead to a change that results in less suffering for others. 6:09 In 1998, I lost my reputation and my dignity. I lost almost everything, and I almost lost my life. 6:23 Let me paint a picture for you. It is September of 1998. I'm sitting in a windowless office room inside the Office of the Independent Counsel underneath humming fluorescent lights. I'm listening to the sound of my voice, my voice on surreptitiously taped phone calls that a supposed friend had made the year before. I'm here because I've been legally required to personally authenticate all 20 hours of taped conversation. For the past eight months, the mysterious content of these tapes has hung like the Sword of Damocles over my head. I mean, who can remember what they said a year ago? Scared and mortified, I listen, listen as I prattle on about the flotsam and jetsam of the day; listen as I confess my love for the president, and, of course, my heartbreak; listen to my sometimes catty, sometimes churlish, sometimes silly self being cruel, unforgiving, uncouth; listen, deeply, deeply ashamed, to the worst version of myself, a self I don't even recognize. 7:55 A few days later, the Starr Report is released to Congress, and all of those tapes and transcripts, those stolen words, form a part of it. That people can read the transcripts is horrific enough, but a few weeks later, the audio tapes are aired on TV, and significant portions made available online. The public humiliation was excruciating. Life was almost unbearable. 8:31 This was not something that happened with regularity back then in 1998, and by this, I mean the stealing of people's private words, actions, conversations or photos, and then making them public -- public without consent, public without context, and public without compassion. 8:57 Fast forward 12 years to 2010, and now social media has been born. The landscape has sadly become much more populated with instances like mine, whether or not someone actually make a mistake, and now it's for both public and private people. The consequences for some have become dire, very dire. 9:24 I was on the phone with my mom in September of 2010, and we were talking about the news of a young college freshman from Rutgers University named Tyler Clementi. Sweet, sensitive, creative Tyler was secretly webcammed by his roommate while being intimate with another man. When the online world learned of this incident, the ridicule and cyberbullying ignited. A few days later, Tyler jumped from the George Washington Bridge to his death. He was 18. 10:06 My mom was beside herself about what happened to Tyler and his family, and she was gutted with pain in a way that I just couldn't quite understand, and then eventually I realized she was reliving 1998, reliving a time when she sat by my bed every night, reliving a time when she made me shower with the bathroom door open, and reliving a time when both of my parents feared that I would be humiliated to death, literally. 10:47 Today, too many parents haven't had the chance to step in and rescue their loved ones. Too many have learned of their child's suffering and humiliation after it was too late. Tyler's tragic, senseless death was a turning point for me. It served to recontextualize my experiences, and I then began to look at the world of humiliation and bullying around me and see something different. In 1998, we had no way of knowing where this brave new technology called the Internet would take us. Since then, it has connected people in unimaginable ways, joining lost siblings, saving lives, launching revolutions, but the darkness, cyberbullying, and slut-shaming that I experienced had mushroomed. Every day online, people, especially young people who are not developmentally equipped to handle this, are so abused and humiliated that they can't imagine living to the next day, and some, tragically, don't, and there's nothing virtual about that. ChildLine, a U.K. nonprofit that's focused on helping young people on various issues, released a staggering statistic late last year: From 2012 to 2013, there was an 87 percent increase in calls and emails related to cyberbullying. A meta-analysis done out of the Netherlands showed that for the first time, cyberbullying was leading to suicidal ideations more significantly than offline bullying. And you know what shocked me, although it shouldn't have, was other research last year that determined humiliation was a more intensely felt emotion than either happiness or even anger. 12:55 Cruelty to others is nothing new, but online, technologically enhanced shaming is amplified, uncontained, and permanently accessible. The echo of embarrassment used to extend only as far as your family, village, school or community, but now it's the online community too. Millions of people, often anonymously, can stab you with their words, and that's a lot of pain, and there are no perimeters around how many people can publicly observe you and put you in a public stockade. There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the Internet has jacked up that price.
比尔盖茨ted演讲稿
比尔盖茨是一位杰出的风云人物，他曾多次在TED上发表演讲，以下是YJBYS我整理的其中一篇以“老师需要真正的教学反馈”为主题的演讲，分享给大家，希望大家喜欢。
比尔盖茨TED演讲
Teachers need real feedback
老师需要真正的教学反馈
Everyone needs a coach.
It doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.
(Laughter)
每一个人都需要一位教练。
无论你是篮球运动员， 网球运动员，体操选手 或者是打桥牌的。
(笑声)
My bridge coach, Sharon Osberg, says there are more pictures of the back of her head than anyone else's in the world.
(Laughter) Sorry, Sharon.
Here you go.
我的桥牌教练，Sharon Osberg， 说包含她后脑勺的照片 比世界上其他任何人的都多。
(笑声) 抱歉，Sharon。
这张应该可以了。
We all need people who will give us feedback.
That's how we improve.
Unfortunately, there's one group of people who get almost no systematic feedback to help them do their jobs better, and these people have one of the most important jobs in the world.
I'm talking about teachers.
When Melinda and I learned how little useful feedback most teachers get, we were blown away.
Until recently, over 98 percent of teachers just got one word of feedback: Satisfactory.
If all my bridge coach ever told me was that I was "satisfactory," I would have no hope of ever getting better.
How would I know who was the best? How would I know what I was doing differently? Today, districts are revamping the way they evaluate teachers, but we still give them almost no feedback that actually helps them improve their practice.
Our teachers deserve better.
The system we have today isn't fair to them.
It's not fair to students, and it's putting America's global leadership at risk.
So today I want to talk about how we can help all teachers get the tools for improvement they want and deserve.
我们都需要能给我们反馈信息的人。
这是我们不断自我发展的方式。
遗憾的是，有一群人几乎收不到系统化的反馈信息来提高他们的工作效率， 而这一群人从事着世界上最重要的职业之一。
我指的就是老师们。
当Melinda和我了解到 大部分老师得到的有用的反馈有多么少时， 我们惊呆了。
直到最近，超过98%的老师 得到的反馈只包含一个词： 满意。
如果我的桥牌教练只跟我说 我的表现“令人满意”， 我永远也不可能变得更好。
我怎么知道谁是最好的? 我怎么知道什么事我做的和别人不一样? 现在，各个校区都在改进 评估教师的方式， 但是我们仍给他们很少能够 提高他们工作水平的反馈信息。
我们的教师应该受到更好的对待。
今天我们在用的系统对他们不公平。
这系统对学生也不公平， 而且置美国的全球领导地位于水深火热之中。
因此今天我想讲讲我们如何能帮助所有的老师 获得他们想要而且值得获得的提高自己的工具。
Let's start by asking who's doing well.
Well, unfortunately there's no international ranking tables for teacher feedback systems.
So I looked at the ountries whose students erform well academically, and looked at what they're doing to help their teachers improve.
Consider the rankings for reading proficiency.
The U.S.isn't number one.
We're not even in the top 10.
We're tied for 15th with Iceland and Poland.
Now, out of all the places that do better than the U.S.
in reading, how many of them have a formal system for helping teachers improve? Eleven out of 14.
The U.S.
is tied for 15th in reading, but we're 23rd in science and 31st in math.
So there's really only one area where we're near the top, and that's in failing to give our teachers the help they need to develop their skills.
我们先来问问谁做得比较好。
遗憾的是，国际上没有一个用来给评估老师的系统分等级的标准。
所以我看了看那些拥有学术表现非常好的学生的国家， 然后看看他们在做什么 来帮助他们的教师提高教学水平。
我们来看看阅读水平的排名。
美国并不是第一。
我们甚至连前十都没能进入。
我们和冰岛以及波兰并列排名第15名。
在阅读水平方面 做得比美国出色的地方中 又有多少个拥有能帮助教师提高自己的正规流程? 11个。
在阅读方面美国并列第15名， 但在科学与数学方面我们分别排在第23名与第31名。
因此我们只有一个方面排名比较靠前， 而那就是无法提供给教师 发展自己所需要的帮助。
Let's look at the best academic performer: the province of Shanghai, China.
Now, they rank number one across the board, in reading, math and science, and one of the keys to Shanghai's incredible success is the way they help teachers keep improving.
They made sure that younger teachers get a chance to watch master teachers at work.
They have weekly study groups, where teachers get together and talk about what's working.
They even require each teacher to observe and give feedback to their colleagues.
我们来看看学业上表现最好的地区： 中国的上海。
他们在阅读，数学以及科学等所有方面排名都是第一， 而上海能有这种令人惊讶的成功的关键之一就在于他们帮助教师不断自我发展的方式。
他们确保年轻的教师有机会看到资深教师授课。
他们每周都有让老师聚在一起并讨论哪些教学方法比较有用的学习会。
他们甚至要求每位老师观察他的同事并给他们反馈信息。
You might ask, why is a system like this so important? It's because there's so much variation in the teaching profession.
Some teachers are far more effective than others.
In fact, there are teachers throughout the country who are helping their students make extraordinary gains.
If today's average teacher could become as good as those teachers, our students would be blowing away the rest of the world.
So we need a system that helps all our teachers be as good as the best.
也许你会问，为什么这样的系统那么重要? 这是因为在教师这个职业中有太多的不同。
有的教师的教学效率远远超过其他教师。
事实上，在全国各地有一些老师正在帮助他们的学生实现难以想象的巨大进步。
如果今天的普通老师能和那些老师一样好， 我们的学生就可以在全世界独领风骚了。
因此我们需要一个能使我们每一位教师和最好的教师一样好的系统。
What would that system look like? Well, to find out, our foundation has been working with 3,000 teachers in districts across the country on a project called Measures of Effective Teaching.
We had observers watch videos of teachers in the classroom and rate how they did on a range of practices.
For example, did they ask their students challenging questions? Did they find multiple ways to explain an idea? We also had students fill out surveys with questions like, "Does your teacher know when the class understands a lesson?" "Do you learn to correct your mistakes?"
这样一个系统会是什么样子的? 为了查明这个事情，我们的基金会和全国各个校区的3000多名老师合作开展了一个叫“有效教育方式”(MET)的项目。
我们派遣观察员观看老师在教学中的录像 并且评估他们所做的一系列事情。
举例来说，他们有没有问学生 具有挑战性的问题? 他们有没有找到多种方式来解释一个概念? 我们也让学生做包含如 “你的老师是否知道 整个班级听懂了一堂课?” “你是否学会了改正错误?”等问题的问卷。
And what we found is very exciting.
First, the teachers who did well on these observations had far better student outcomes.
So it tells us we're asking the right questions.
And second, teachers in the program told us that these videos and these surveys from the students were very helpful diagnostic tools, because they pointed to specific places where they can improve.
I want to show you what this video component of MET looks like in action.
(Music)(音乐)
结果令我们非常惊喜。
首先，在这些评测中表现很好的老师所教出来的学生也更好。
这说明我们问的问题是对的。
其次，参与这个项目的老师告诉我们 这些录像以及向学生发放的调查问卷是非常有用的诊断工具， 因为它们指明了教师们能够改进的具体环节。
我想让你们看看MET中的视频部分 是什么样的。
(Video) Sarah Brown Wessling: Good morning everybody.
Let's talk about what's going on today.
To get started, we're doing a peer review day, okay? A peer review day, and our goal by the end of class is for you to be able to determine whether or not you have moves to prove in your essays.
(录像)Sarah Brown Wessling: 大家早上好。
让我们说说今天干些什么。
首先，今天将会是一个“同学互评日”。
这个“同学互评日”的目的就是在下课前 大家可以好好判断 自己作文是不是经得起推敲。
My name is Sarah Brown Wessling.
I am a high school English teacher at Johnston High School in Johnston, Iowa.
我在爱荷华州的Johnston的Johnston高中担任英语老师。
Turn to somebody next to you.
Tell them what you think I mean when I talk about moves to prove.
I've talk about --
转向你们身边的一个人。
告诉他们你认为我说“经得起推敲”时我是什么意思。
我曾说过--
I think that there is a difference for teachers between the abstract of how we see our practice and then the concrete reality of it.
我认为对于老师而言， 我们对我们的表现的抽象看法 和实际情况是有区别的。
Okay, so I would like you to please bring up your papers.
好的，请你们拿出你们的纸张。
I think what video offers for us is a certain degree of reality.
You can't really dispute what you see on the video, and there is a lot to be learned from that, and there are a lot of ways that we can grow as a profession when we actually get to see this.
I just have a flip camera and a little tripod and invested in this tiny little wide-angle lens.
At the beginning of class, I just perch it in the back of the classroom.
It's not a perfect shot.
It doesn't catch every little thing that's going on.
But I can hear the sound.
I can see a lot.
And I'm able to learn a lot from it.
So it really has been a simple but powerful tool in my own reflection.
我认为视频给我们展现了某种程度的现实。
你无法对你在视频中看到的表示异议， 你从中能学到很多， 而且当我们看到它时我们看到有很多方式 能让我们的'职业水平更上一层楼。
我只有这个轻按相机和这个小小的三脚架 并再花了一点钱买了这个微小的广角镜。
在开始上课的时候，我就把相机放在教室的后面。
视角并非完美。
它没法捕捉到发生的每一件事。
但我能听见声音。
我能看到很多。
而且我能从中学到很多。
因此它成了一个用于自我反思的简单而强大的工具。
All right, let's take a look at the long one first, okay?
好的，我们先看看比较长的一段，怎么样?
Once I'm finished taping, then I put it in my computer, and then I'll scan it and take a peek at it.
If I don't write things down, I don't remember them.
一旦录完了，我就把它放到电脑里， 扫描一下然后看一眼。
如果我不把东西写下来我就无法记住它们。
So having the notes is a part of my thinking process, and I discover what I'm seeing as I'm writing.
I really have used it for my own personal growth and my own personal reflection on teaching strategy and methodology and classroom management, and just all of those different facets of the classroom.
因此记笔记也是我思考过程中的一部分， 而当我在做记录时我也就发现了我在看的是什么。
我把它用于我的个人成长 以及关于教学方式， 教学原则，课堂管理等 各种各样的和课堂有关的方面的个人反思。
I'm glad that we've actually done the process before so we can kind of compare what works, what doesn't.
我很高兴我们以前做过类似的事情 所以我们能通过比较得出孰优孰劣。
I think that video exposes so much of what's intrinsic to us as teachers in ways that help us learn and help us understand, and then help our broader communities understand what this complex work is really all about.
I think it is a way to exemplify and illustrate things that we cannot convey in a lesson plan, things you cannot convey in a standard, things that you cannot even sometimes convey in a book of pedagogy.
我觉得视频揭示了 大量的所对我们老师而言 从根本上帮助我们学习和理解的方式方法， 并且也帮助社会理解这个复杂的工作究竟是干嘛的。
我认为这展现了一些事情 他们是我们无法用教学计划， 一个标准，甚至一个关于教育学的书 来表达的。
Alrighty, everybody, have a great weekend.
I'll see you later.
好了，大家，祝你们周末愉快。
下次见。
[Every classroom could look like that]
[每一个教室都能像那样]
(Applause)(掌声)
Bill Gates: One day, we'd like every classroom in America to look something like that.
But we still have more work to do.
Diagnosing areas where a teacher needs to improve is only half the battle.
We also have to give them the tools they need to act on the diagnosis.
If you learn that you need to improve the way you teach fractions, you should be able to watch a video of the best person in the world teaching fractions.
比尔 盖茨：我们希望有一天全美的教室 都可以像这样。
但我们还有很多事要做。
梳理出一位老师在什么地方需要改进 只是战斗的一半。
我们还要给他们能让他们基于诊断结果 采取措施的工具。
如果你知道你要提高自己 教分数的方式， 你应该可以看一段 世上最好的人教分数的视频。
So building this complete teacher feedback and improvement system won't be easy.
For example, I know some teachers aren't immediately comfortable with the idea of a camera in the classroom.
That's understandable, but our experience with MET suggests that if teachers manage the process, if they collect video in their own classrooms, and they pick the lessons they want to submit, a lot of them will be eager to participate.
所以说建立一个完整的能给予老师 反馈信息以及自我发展手段的系统不会简单。
比如说，我知道一些老师 对于在教室中放一个摄像机这样的想法 感到不舒适。
这是可以理解的，但是我们在MET中的经验 说明了如果老师们能忍受这一个过程， 如果他们在教室中录制视频， 然后选择他们想提交的视频， 很多老师会踊跃参与。
Building this system will also require a considerable investment.
Our foundation estimates that it could cost up to five billion dollars.
Now that's a big number, but to put it in perspective, it's less than two percent of what we spend every year on teacher salaries.
建立这样一个体系也会需要大量的投资。
我们的基金会估计会花费多至50亿美元。
这是一个庞大的数字，但如果我们换一个视角来看， 这比我们每年付给老师的工资 的2%还要少。
The impact for teachers would be phenomenal.
We would finally have a way to give them feedback, as well as the means to act on it.
这样一个系统对于老师的影响是无法估量的。
我们终于会有一个能给他们反馈信息， 并让他们照此采取措施的方式。
But this system would have an even more important benefit for our country.
It would put us on a path to making sure all our students get a great education, find a career that's fulfilling and rewarding, and have a chance to live out their dreams.
This wouldn't just make us a more successful country.
It would also make us a more fair and just one, too.
但是这样一个系统对我们国家 的好处会更大。
它会让我们走上一条能确保 我们的学生能收到良好教育， 找到一份报酬丰厚而且令人满意的事业， 并且让他们有机会实现自己的梦想的道路。
这不仅会使我们的国家更成功。
这也会使我们的国家更充满公平与正义。
I'm excited about the opportunity to give all our teachers the support they want and deserve.
I hope you are too.
我为能给老师们 他们想要且应得的支援的机会感到欣喜。
我希望大家也是。
谢谢。
Thank you.
Google工程师TED英语励志演讲稿
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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。
So here’s my question to you: What are you waiting for? I guarantee you the next 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 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。
TED英文演讲：用新词改变世界
“英语像是一块伟大的海绵，融合了许多种语言，但它也有缺憾。希腊语中有一个词叫lachesism，意思是渴望灾难，比如你在海平面上看到雷雨，为暴风雨的到来而欢呼雀跃。波兰语中有一个词叫jouska，它代表着你脑海中不断出现且无法停止的假象对话。”John Koenig花7年时间编撰了一本字典，名为《晦涩情感词语字典》下面是我为大家收集关于TED英文演讲：用新词改变世界，欢迎借鉴参考。
演讲者：John Koenig
中英对照翻译
Today I want to talk about the meaning of words, how we define them and how they, almost as revenge,define us.
今天我想和大家谈谈单词的含义，我们是如何定义它们的，反过来它们又是如何，像复仇一般的 定义了我们。英语语言就像是一块华丽的吸水海绵，
The English language is a magnificent sponge. I love the English language. I'm glad that I speak it. But for all that, it has a lot of holes. In Greek, there's a word, "lachesism" which is the hunger for disaster. You know, when you see a thunderstorm on the horizon and you just find yourself rooting for the storm.
我喜爱英语，很高兴我会说英语，但是，它依然有很多缺陷。在希腊语中有一个词，“Lachesism"，意思是对灾难的渴求，就像是当你看到远方地平线的雷雨，发现自己已对风暴做好了一切准备。
In Mandarin, they have a word "yù yī" -- I'm not pronouncing that correctly -- which means the longing to feel intensely again the way you did when you were a kid. In Polish, they have a word "jouska" which is the kind of hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head. And finally, in German, of course in German, they have a word called "zielschmerz" which is the dread of getting what you want.
在中文里，有一个词叫“yù yī ” —— 不好意思，我发音不准—— 意思是希望再次强烈体会到当你还是个孩子时的感觉。在波兰语里，他们有一个词叫“Jouska", 形容一种假想的对话，在自己的脑海里被迫上演。最后，在德语里，当然，是德语。他们有一个词叫做“Zielschmerz”，意思是害怕得到你想要的。
Finally fulfilling a lifelong dream. I'm German myself, so I know exactly what that feels like.
虽然最后实现了你毕生的梦想。我自己是个德国人，所以很了解那是什么感觉。
Now, I'm not sure if I would use any of these words as I go about my day, but I'm really glad they exist. But the only reason they exist is because I made them up.
在我的日常生活里，不确定我会不会用这些词，但是我对这些单词的存在感到高兴。仅仅因为，我编造了它们。
I am the author of "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows," which I've been writing for the last seven years. And the whole mission of the project is to find holes in the language of emotion and try to fill them so that we have a way of talking about all those human peccadilloes and quirks of the human condition that we all feel but may not think to talk about because we don't have the words to do it.
我是《自造词典》的创始人，(The Dictionary of ObscureSorrows) 这是我在过去七年里所编写的东西。整个计划的目标，是为了找到语言情感里的漏洞，去填补它们，如此我们就有了一种全新的方式 去讨论人类情感里的种种小缺失，那种我们常常能感受，却无法去形容的概念，因为我们没有适合的词去表达。
And about halfway through this project, I defined "sonder," the idea that we all think of ourselves as the main character and everyone else is just extras. But in reality, we're all the main character, and you yourself are an extra in someone else's story.
在我的计划进行了一半的时候，我创造了一个词“Sonder”，这个点子是关于我们把自己想象成世间的主角，其他人都是临时演员。但是在现实中，你认为自己是主角，可是你在其他人的故事中却只是个配角罢了。
And so as soon as I published that, I got a lot of response from people saying, "Thank you for giving voice to something I had felt all my life but there was no word for that." So it made them feel less alone. That's the power of words, to make us feel less alone.
当我发表了这一想法时，很多人来告诉我，“谢谢你，你为我一生都感觉到却一直没能找到合适的词去表达的感觉下了定义。” 这使得他们不再那么孤单。这就是文字的魅力，让我们不再孤独。
And it was not long after that that I started to notice sonder being used earnestly in conversations online,and not long after I actually noticed it, I caught it next to me in an actual conversation in person. There is no stranger feeling than making up a word and then seeing it take on a mind of its own. I don't have a word for that yet, but I will.
在那不久以后，我开始注意到Sonder这个词，很多人真的已经开始在 网络交谈中使用了，就在我注意到这个没多久，我就发现这个词已经用在我身边人与人直接的交谈中了。没有什么感觉比 自己造了一个单词，然后发现它被所有人 所接受更奇怪了。现在还没有能形容这种感觉的词，但我会造一个出来的。
I'm working on it.
我已经在想了。
I started to think about what makes words real, because a lot of people ask me, the most common thing I got from people is, "Well, are these words made up? I don't really understand." And I didn't really know what to tell them because once sonder started to take off, who am I to say what words are real and what aren't.
我开始想，到底是什么让一个单词具象化，因为很多人问过我，我也最常听到的提问是，“好吧，这些单词是造出来的?我真的不明白。” 我也真的不知道该怎么解释，因为一旦sonder开始流行起来，我又该跟谁说哪些单词是真实的，哪些不是?
And so I sort of felt like Steve Jobs, who described his epiphany as when he realized that most of us, as we go through the day, we just try to avoid bouncing against the walls too much and just sort of get on with things.But once you realize that people -- that this world was built by people no smarter than you, then you can reach out and touch those walls and even put your hand through them and realize that you have the power to change it.
我有点感觉像是乔布斯在描述他的顿悟，当他意识到，我们中的很多人在生活中，都在为了避免给自己制造太多的麻烦，只是希望一切都顺利。但是一旦你了解到那些人—— 了解到这个世界是由并不比 你聪明多少的人所建立的，那么你就会试着去跨越这些高墙，甚至会用手去推翻它们，你就会意识到，原来你也有改变世界的力量。
And when people ask me, "Are these words real?" I had a variety of answers that I tried out. Some of them made sense. Some of them didn't. But one of them I tried out was, "Well, a word is real if you want it to be real." The way that this path is real because people wanted it to be there.
当人们问我，“这些单词是真的吗?” 我曾经准备了很多答案。有些可以理解，有些却行不通。但是我的一个答案是，“单词唯有你想要它是真的时候，它才会变成真的。” 这条路之所以会存在，是因为人们都想要它存在。
It happens on college campuses all the time. It's called a "desire path."
这种路在大学校园里随处可见，我叫它“渴望之路“。
But then I decided, what people are really asking when they're asking if a word is real, they're really asking,"Well, how many brains will this give me access to?" Because I think that's a lot of how we look at language.A word is essentially a key that gets us into certain people's heads. And if it gets us into one brain, it's not really worth it, not really worth knowing. Two brains, eh, it depends on who it is. A million brains, OK, now we're talking. And so a real word is one that gets you access to as many brains as you can. That's what makes it worth knowing.
但是之后，当他们问 这个单词是否是真的，他们其实是在问，“好吧，通过这个单词我又能读懂几个人的内心呢?” 因为我觉得这就是我们怎么看待语言的。单词的本质就是一把钥匙，一把开启人们内心的钥匙。如果这把钥匙只能走进你一个人心里，这真的不值得，也没什么必要存在。如果能读懂两个人，嗯，这要看另一个是谁。如果能走进千千万万的内心，很好，这就是我们现在对话的意义。所以一个真实存在的单词，能帮助你了解很多人。这就是一个单词的意义。
Incidentally, the realest word of all by this measure is this.[O.K.]
顺便一提，用这种方式获得的最真实的一个词是：【O. K.】
That's it. The realest word we have. That is the closest thing we have to a master key. That's the most commonly understood word in the world, no matter where you are. The problem with that is, no one seems to know what those two letters stand for.
就是这个。这是我们最真实的单词。这就是我们最熟悉的单词。同时也是这个世界上 被最多人所熟知的词，无论你来自哪里，问题是，没人知道为什么要用这两个字母。
Which is kind of weird, right? I mean, it could be a misspelling of "all correct," I guess, or "old kinderhook."No one really seems to know, but the fact that it doesn't matter says something about how we add meaning to words. The meaning is not in the words themselves. We're the ones that pour ourselves into it.
这是不是有点不可思议?我猜它可能是 “All Correct”(都对)的错误拼写，或者是“Old Kinderhook”的错误拼写。似乎没人知道为什么，但是这都无所谓了，这说明了我们是如何 给词语赋予含义的。单词的含义不在于单词本身，而是在于那些赋予单词意义的人们。
And I think, when we're all searching for meaning in our lives, and searching for the meaning of life, I think words have something to do with that. And I think if you're looking for the meaning of something, the dictionary is a decent place to start. It brings a sense of order to a very chaotic universe. Our view of things is so limited that we have to come up with patterns and shorthands and try to figure out a way to interpret itand be able to get on with our day. We need words to contain us, to define ourselves.
而且我觉得，我们都在 寻找我们生命中的意义，寻找生活的意义时，我觉得单词和我们寻找的东西息息相关。我觉得你在寻找某些东西的含义时，字典是一个开始寻找的好地方。字典为混沌的宇宙带去了一丝秩序。我们对事物的了解十分有限，以至于我们不得不想出 一些规律或者速记的方法，去尝试寻找该词的解释，让我们的生活得以继续。我们需要单词来蕴含自己，来定义我们自己。
I think a lot of us feel boxed in by how we use these words. We forget that words are made up. It's not just my words. All words are made up, but not all of them mean something. We're all just sort of trapped in our own lexicons that don't necessarily correlate with people who aren't already like us, and so I think I feel us drifting apart a little more every year, the more seriously we take words.
我觉得我们中的很多人都感觉，被我们所用的词汇所束缚了，我们忘了所有的单词都是编造出来的，不光光是我用的词，所有的词都是编造出来的，但不是所有的词都有含义。我们只是有点被困在自己的字典里，而我们的字典和其他人的字典并不全都一样，所以我觉得每一年我们都在变得疏远，我们对用词也越来越认真。
Because remember, words are not real. They don't have meaning. We do.
但是请记住，单词不是真的。它们本身没有任何意义，是我们赋予了它们含义。
And I'd like to leave you with a reading from one of my favorite philosophers, Bill Watterson, who created "Calvin and Hobbes." He said, "Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it is still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble."
最后我想跟各位分享一段我最喜欢的一位哲学家，比尔·沃特森在《凯文的幻虎世界》中说的，“创造一个能反应你的价值，并充实你的灵魂的生活，是一件了不起的成就。去创造你自己生活的意义 不容易，但仍值得你去尝试，并且我觉得你会因自找麻烦变得更快乐。“
Thank you.(Applause)

TED英语演讲稿1
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?
TED英语演讲稿2
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.
TED英语演讲稿3
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.
TED英语演讲稿4
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5
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.

A proverb says“Time is money.” 有句谚语说“时间就是金钱” Look well,therefore, to this day! 所以，好好把握今天把！ Let's value our time! 让我们珍惜时间！ That's all!Thank you! 我的演讲完毕！谢谢大家！ 【二】 Opportunity 机会 With doubt and di *** ay you are *** itten, 怀疑和沮丧使你备受煎熬， You think there's no chance for you,son? 孩子，你认为你没有机会吗？ Why,the best books haven't been written. 为什么要这么想呢？最好的书还没有写成， The best race hasn't been run, 最棒的赛跑还没举行， The best record hasn't been set up, 最佳的记录还没出现， The best song hasn't been sung, 最动听的歌曲还没咏唱， The best tune hasn't been played yet; 最美妙的曲调还未凑出， Cheer up,for the world is young! 别灰心，因为这个世界还年轻！ No chance?Why the world is just eager 没有机会了吗？这个世界正渴望 For things that you ought to create; 你应该创造的一切； Its store of true wealth is still meager, 它所储存的真正财富还很贫瘠； Its needs are incessant and great; 它的需要庞大而不绝； It yearns for more power and beauty, 它渴求多些力量和美丽， More laughter and love and romance, 多些欢笑、情爱和浪漫， More loyalty,labor and duty, 多些忠诚、劳动和职责。 No chance—why there's nothing but chance! 没机会——哎呀，除机会外别无所有！ For the best verse hasn't been rhymed yet, 因为最优美的诗篇还没写成， The best house hasn't been planned, 最漂亮的房屋还未设计， The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet, 最高耸的山峰还没攀登， The mightiest rivers aren't spanned; 最雄伟的江河还没架桥。 Don't worry and fret,faint-hearted, 别担忧,别发愁，别胆怯， The chances have just begun, 各种机会刚开端， For the best jobs haven't been started, 因为那些最好的职业还没开创， The best work hasn't been done. 最好的工作还没完成！ No chance—why there's nothing but chance! 没机会——哎呀，除机会外别无所有！ That's all!Thank you! 我的演讲完毕！谢谢大家！ 1，第一步是字数估计，因为语速可以调整所以字数是一个范围值。字数是根据要求的演讲时间×语速而来的。比如5分钟演讲每分钟200字，那么就是1000字的样子。 2，第二步是思考主旨和确定题目，演讲稿常常是个根据主旨的自命题作文。比如主题是青春梦想，那么就以这个为出发点去构思。青春和梦想有什么联系。青春是梦想绽放的能量，梦想是青春散发的光芒...... 3，第三步就是分段讲述了，第一段是客套话阶段。这里可以表达对听众的感谢，表达自己的心情。然后说自己演讲的题目和主题。 4，第二段开始渲染自己的主题，也就是用比较铺陈的手法开始写主题。比如排比骈文等比较有气势一点的话语，在配上口号。演讲的时候也同样的用你的语气先声夺人。 As you slowly open your eyes, look around , notice where the light es into your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize; feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air. Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day! And most importantly, it is a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new desicisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented level! In your mind’s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire to reach. You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream. You can see the *** iles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. You can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being! You know all this is real as long as you are confident,passionate and mitted! And you are confident, you are passionate, you are mitted! You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways,approaching new people, and asking new questions. You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never succumb to challenges of hardships. You will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. After all,you are the best, and you deserve the best! As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed! Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out: I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! retert4356435
