经典TED英语演讲稿 篇一

Every kid needs a champion

每个孩子都需要一个冠军演讲稿中英对照：

I have spent my entire life either at the schoolhouse, on the way to the schoolhouse, or talking about what happens in the schoolhouse. Both my parents were educators, my maternal grandparents were educators, and for the past 40 years I've done the same thing. And so, needless to say, over those years I've had a chance to look at education reform from a lot of

perspectives. Some of those reforms have been good. Some of them have been not so good. And we know why kids drop out. We know why kids don't learn. It's either poverty, low attendance, negative peer influences. We know why. But one of the things that we never discuss or we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human connection, relationships.

我这辈子，要么是在学校，要么在去学校的路上，要么是在讨论学校里发生了什么事。我的父母都是教育家，我的外祖父母也都是搞教育的，过去40年我也在从事同样的事业。所以，很显然，过去的这些年里，我有机会从各个角度审视教育改革。一些改革是有成效的。而另一些却收效甚微。我们知道孩子们为什么掉队辍学。我们知道孩子们为什么学不下去。原因无非是贫穷，低出席率，同龄人的坏影响。我们知道为什么。但是我们从未讨论或者极少讨论的是人和人之间的那种联系的价值和重要性，这就是“关系”。

James Comer says that no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship. George Washington Carver says all learning is understanding relationships. Everyone in this room has been affected by a teacher or an adult.

For years, I have watched people teach. I have looked at the best and I've look at some of the worst.

James Comer (美国著名儿童精神科医师）说过，没有强有力的联系，学习就不会有显著的进步。 George Washington Carver（美国著名教育学家）说过，学习就是理解各种关系。在座的各位都曾经被一位老师或者一个成年人影响过。这么多年，我都在看人们怎么教学。我看过最好的也看过最差的。

A colleague said to me one time, "They don't pay me to like the kids. They pay me to teach a lesson. The kids should learn it. I should teach it. They should learn it. Case closed."

一次有个同事跟我说， “我的职责不是喜欢那些孩子们。我的职责是教书。孩子们就该去学。我管教课，他们管学习。就是这么个理儿。”

Well, I said to her, "You know, kids don't learn from people they don't like." 然后，我就跟她说， “你知道，孩子们可不跟他们讨厌的人学习。”

(Laughter) (Applause)

（笑声）（掌声）

She said, "That's just a bunch of hooey."

她接着说，“一派胡言。”

And I said to her, "Well, your year is going to be long and arduous, dear." 然后我对她说，“那么，亲爱的，你这一年会变得十分漫长和痛苦。”

Needless to say it was. Some people think that you can either have it in you to build a relationship or you don't. I think Stephen Covey had the right idea. He

said you ought to just throw in a few simple things, like seeking first to

understand as opposed to being understood, simple things like apologizing. You ever thought about thatTell a kid you're sorry, they're in shock.

事实也果真如此。有些人认为一个人或者天生可以建立一种关系或者不具有这种能力。我认为Stephen Covey（美国教育家）是对的。他说你只需要做一些简单的事情，比如试着首先理解他人，而不是想要被理解，比如道歉。你想过吗？跟一个孩子说你很对不起，他们都惊呆了。

I taught a lesson once on ratios. I'm not real good with math, but I was working on it. And I got back and looked at that teacher edition. I'd taught the whole lesson wrong. (Laughter)

我有一次讲比例。我数学不是很好，但是我当时在教数学。然后我下了课，翻看了教师用书。我完全教错了。（笑声）

So I came back to class the next day, and I said, "Look, guys, I need to apologize. I taught the whole lesson wrong. I'm so sorry."

所以我第二天回到班上说， “同学们，我要道歉。我昨天的课都教错了。我非常抱歉。”

They said, "That's okay, Ms. Pierson. You were so excited, we just let you go." (Laughter) (Applause)

他们说，“没关系，Pierson老师。你当时教得非常投入，我们就让你继续了。” （笑声）（掌声）

I have had classes that were so low, so academically deficient that I cried. I wondered, how am I going to take this group in nine months from where they

are to where they need to beAnd it was difficult. It was awfully hard. How do I raise the self-esteem of a child and his academic achievement at the same time

我曾经教过程度非常低的班级，学术素养差到我都哭了。我当时就想，我怎么能在9个月之内把这些孩子提升到他们必须具备的水平？这真的很难，太艰难了。我怎么能让一个孩子重拾自信的同时他在学术上也有进步？

One year I came up with a bright idea. I told all my students, "You were chosen to be in my class because I am the best teacher and you are the best students, they put us all together so we could show everybody else how to do it."

有一年我有了一个非常好的主意。我告诉我的学生们， “你们进了我的班级，因为我是最好的老师，而你们是最好的学生，他们把我们放在一起来给其他人做个好榜样。”

One of the students said, "Really" (Laughter)

一个学生说，“真的吗？” （笑声）

I said, "Really. We have to show the other classes how to do it, so when we walk down the hall, people will notice us, so you can't make noise. You just have to strut." And I gave them a saying to say: "I am somebody. I was

somebody when I came. I'll be a better somebody when I leave. I am powerful, and I am strong. I deserve the education that I get here. I have things to do, people to impress, and places to go."

我说，“当然是真的。我们要给其他班级做个榜样，当我们走在楼道里，因为大家都会注意到我们，我们不能吵闹。大家要昂首阔步。” 我还给了他们一个口号：“我是个人物。我来的时候是个人物。我毕业的时候会变成一个更好的人物。我

很有力，很强大。我值得在这里受教育。我有很多事情要做，我要让人们记住我，我要去很多地方。”

And they said, "Yeah!"

然后他们说：“是啊！”

You say it long enough, it starts to be a part of you.

如果你长时间的这么说，它就会开始变成事实。

And so — (Applause) I gave a quiz, 20 questions. A student missed 18. I put a "+2" on his paper and a big smiley face.

所以－（掌声）我做了一个小测验，20道题。一个孩子错了18道。我在他了卷子上写了个“＋2”和一个大的笑脸。

He said, "Ms. Pierson, is this an F"

他说，“Pierson老师，这是不及格吗？”

I said, "Yes."

我说，“是的。”

He said, "Then why'd you put a smiley face"

他接着说，“那你为什么给我一个笑脸？”

I said, "Because you're on a roll. You got two right. You didn't miss them all." I said, "And when we review this, won't you do better"

我说，“因为你正渐入佳境。你没有全错，还对了两个。” 我说，“我们复习这些题的时候，难道你不会做得更好吗？”

TED英语演讲稿 篇二

In 2022 — not so long ago — a professor who was then at Columbia University took that case and made it [Howard] Roizen. And he gave the case out, both of them, to two groups of students. He changed exactly one word: "Heidi" to "Howard." But that one word made a really big difference. He then surveyed the students, and the good news was the students, both men and women, thought Heidi and Howard were equally competent, and that's good.The bad news was that everyone liked Howard. He's a great guy. You want to work for him. You want to spend the day fishing with him. But Heidi? Not so sure. She's a little out for herself. She's a little political.You're not sure you'd want to work for her. This is the complication. We have to tell our daughters and our colleagues, we have to tell ourselves to believe we got the A, to reach for the promotion, to sit at the table, and we have to do it in a world where, for them, there are sacrifices they will make for that, even though for their brothers, there are not. The saddest thing about all of this is that it's really hard to remember this. And I'm about to tell a story which is truly embarrassing for me, but I think important.

经典TED英语演讲稿 篇三

01、 Remember to say thank you

Hi. I'm here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and having it be specific and genuine.

And the way I got interested in this was, I noticed in myself, when I was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that I would want to say thank you to someone, I would want to praise them, I would want to take in their praise of me and I'd just stop it. And I asked myself, why? I felt shy, I felt embarrassed. And then my question became, am I the only one who does this? So, I decided to investigate.

I'm fortunate enough to work in the rehab facility, so I get to see people who are facing life and death with addiction. And sometimes it comes down to something as simple as, their core wound is their father died without ever saying he's proud of them. But then, they hear from all the family and friends that the father told everybody else that he was proud of him, but he never told the son. It's because he didn't know that his son needed to hear it.

So my question is, why don't we ask for the things that we need? I know a gentleman, married for 25 years, who's longing to hear his wife say, "Thank you for being the breadwinner, so I can stay home with the kids," but won't ask. I know a woman who's good at this. She, once a week, meets with her husband and says, "I'd really like you to thank me for all these things I did in the house and with the kids." And he goes, "Oh, this is great, this is great." And praise really does have to be genuine, but she takes responsibility for that. And a friend of mine, April, who I've had since kindergarten, she thanks her children for doing their chores. And she said, "

But before I show you what’s inside,

I will tell you that’s going to do incredible things for you 。

It will bring all of your family together.

You will feel loved and appreciated like never before.

And reconnect to friends and acquaintances you haven’t heard from in years.

Adoration and admiration will overwhelm you.

It will recalibrate what’s important in your life.

It will redefine your sense of spirituality and faith.

You’ll have a new understanding and trust in your body.

You’ll have unsurpassed vitality and energy.

You’ll expand your vocabulary, meet new people, and you’ll have a healthier lifestyle. And get this, you’ll have an eight-week vacation of doing absolutely nothing.

You’ll eat countless gourmet meals.

Flowers will arrive by the truck load.

People will say to you: “you look great! Have you had any work done?”

And you’ll have a life-time supply of good drugs.

You’ll be challenged, inspired, motivated and humbled.

Your life will have new meaning: peace, health, serenity, happiness, nirvana.

The price?

Fifty-five thousand dollars.

And that’s an incredible deal.

By now, I know you’re dying to know what it is and where you can get one.

Does Amazon carry it?

Dose it have the Apple logo on it?

Is there a waiting list?

Not likely.

This gift came to me about five months ago.

And looked more like this when it was all wrapped up.

Not quite so pretty.

And this.

And then this.

It was a rare jam.

A brain tumor.

Hemangioblastoma.

The gift that keeps on giving.

And while I’m ok now.

I wouldn’t wish this gift for you.

I’m not sure you’d want it.

But I would’t change my experience.

It profoundly altered my life in ways it didn’t expect.

In all the ways I just shared with you.

So the next time you are faced with something that’s unexpected, unwanted and uncertain. Consider that it just may be a gift.

ted中文演讲稿 篇四

春秋时候，楚国有个擅长射箭的人叫养叔。他能在百步之外射中杨枝上的叶子，并且百发百中。楚王羡慕养叔的射箭本领，就请养叔来教他射箭。养叔把射箭的技巧倾囊相授。楚王兴致勃勃地练习了好一阵子，渐渐能得心应手，就邀请养叔跟他一起到野外去打猎。

打猎开始了，楚王叫人把躲在芦苇丛里的野鸭子赶出来。野鸭子被惊扰地振翅飞出。楚王弯弓搭箭，正要射猎时，忽然从他的左边跳出一只山羊。楚王心想，一箭射死山羊，可比射中一只野鸭子划算多了！于是楚王又把箭头对准了山羊，准备射它。可是正在此时，右边突然又跳出一只梅花鹿。楚王又想，若是射中罕见的梅花鹿，价值比山羊又不知高出了多少，于是楚王又把箭头对准了梅花鹿。忽然大家一阵子惊呼，原来从树梢飞出了一只珍贵的苍鹰，振翅往空中窜去。楚王又觉得还是射苍鹰好。

可是当他正要瞄准苍鹰时，苍鹰已迅速地飞走了。楚王只好回头来射梅花鹿，可是梅花鹿也逃走了。只好再回头去找山羊，可是山羊也早溜了，连那一群鸭子都飞得无影无踪了。

楚王拿着弓箭比画了半天，结果什么也没有射着。

机会稍纵即逝，一定要抓住你一直所追求的机会，达到你的目标。

简短的ted演讲稿 篇五

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

非常感谢。

ted中文演讲稿 篇六

我把周长比作我们的信仰，把面积看成我们几年来物质需求的增长。我们的祖国正在和平崛起，人民物质生活水平正在提高，然而正如那个圆一样，当它从寻找物质转变成寻找圆时，周长一点点被吞噬，正如我们的信仰在一点点地缺失。

周国平说：“现代生活的特点之一是灵魂的缺失。”是的。人们带着冷漠的表情像游魂一样行走；网络上的刀光剑影；舞厅里的灯红酒绿；人们绵里藏针，笔里带刀，钩心斗角……沉湎迷失像尘埃一样迷漫于各个角落。舒婷的诗写到：“我是你簇新的理想、刚从神话的蛛网里挣脱。”我困惑了，难道刚从对神话的顶礼膜拜中倏然醒悟，我们就立即堕入黑与白的另一个极端，一如逻辑上的排中律？

当王朔骂骂咧咧掘鲁迅的坟茔时，一位支持者（好像还是位作家）说：“什么年代了，还搞伟人崇拜！”此人有非凡之觉悟（倘若人人有此觉悟，则大同世界可计日程功），我建议他把郁达夫也否定一下。郁达夫说：“有了伟大的人物的出现，而不知崇仰、爱戴、崇敬的国家，是没有希望的奴隶之邦。”

若伟人尚且不能崇拜，是否信仰之跫音已渐行渐远？我困惑了。

阿Q临死前有句豪言壮语：“过了二十年又是一个……”阿Q的忘却精神是他的祖传宝贝。我疑心灵魂的缺失是因为忘却精神已进化得淋漓尽致。

几十年的光阴磨灭了许多，也洗涤出许多。

当影星赵薇穿着印有日本海军旗图案的服装在纽约街头作秀时，我们能仅仅责备她吗？她的无知不正是我们的无知吗？她的忘却不正是我们的忘却吗？

我在另一些事中坚定了我的想法。

日本至今不愿忏悔，冈森正宏公然为东条英机等甲等战犯辩护，小泉首相每年都要参拜靖国神社，并得到近半数民众的支持。而同在欧亚大陆，在以色列犹太受难者纪念碑前，德国毅然下跪，德国民众带着小孩进行教育。

在对比中我感到荒凉。日本竟能在谴责的口水流淌成的河流中安然泅渡！是否我们该想想自身的问题？为何庞大的中华无法显出令人振慑的魄力。

我在作家张抗抗的《沙之聚》中找到了答案：当风渗透沙子，风的需要成为沙子的需要，沙子便走动起来，舞蹈起来，最终完成它（鸣沙山）的屹立。

人心之聚正如这沙之聚，信仰就是那渗透沙子的风。一盘散沙，何以有威慑力？

看着那规范、稳定、大面积却短周长的圆，我又想起了红柯所说的：“一个软弱的民族，一个血气不足的民族，你不能光指望它长个子。”什么时候，我们能让信仰回归，让灵魂在场，让民族重塑血气？我依旧困惑。

阅卷老师点评

南安一中高级教师、20xx年高考作文阅卷组小组长陈兴利：

今年作文的平均分是44.24分。今年作文题是能够应用图形加文字的形式来命题，打破应试作文命题的模式。走出单一话题作文形式，注重对材料的感悟，与目前课改精神是比较相符的。两个图形内涵比较丰富，能联想到比较多的东西。

这个题目的难点是：学生对题目的审查要细致，要从抽象图形中提取出意义，从两个图形的差异入手，并且能结合历史的、现实的人和事来寻求途径进行叙述。

从阅卷情况来看，考生大体上能辩证地分析问题，思维比较开阔，联想能力也比较强。其次是能够应用课内课外所学的知识来充实文章的内容。95%以上的考生都能完成900字的任务。从写作体裁来看，议论文最多，散文和记叙文相对少，也有寓言故事、诗歌、剧本等多种体裁出现。

主要存在以下三个问题：1.堆砌材料的比较多。学生备考前会搜集很多作文素材，有的材料只是生搬硬套，在考场上没有经过消化就写了出来，材料本身和主题无关，有一些甚至还有套题的嫌疑。这样的卷子很可能被打入四等卷的行列。2.只是单方面进行阐述，比如侧重写圆，这样写容易偏题，没有考虑到两个方面。3.文字华丽花俏，哗众取宠。很多学生在作文前加了“题记”，内容又与正文毫无关系，显得不伦不类。

考生在写作文时，要注意提炼自己的观点。学生手中有十几个省市的优卷作文，看多了，就容易去套题而失去自己的观点。今后语文教学要注意训练学生分析问题的能力，而不是追求形式的华丽，好文章不是靠形式写出来的，一定要有自己的思想和见解。有的学生求变求异，写古文，写诗歌，还有写金字塔结构的诗歌，内容却不知所云。

下面我主要对两篇文章作一下点评：

《执子与通子》这篇文章，内容充实饱满，文字流畅，脉络清晰，结构严谨。文章切题很快，作者通过联想，把两种不同处事风格、生活方式的人进行比照，展示他们的各得其所、各有所长，观点比较辩正。文章的结尾，作者提出大胆想像，收尾很有力度，让前面的分析得到升华，切合题意，中心突出。

《两份病危通知单》这篇文章整体构思新颖别致，虽然“病历”这种形式考生在练习册中也见过，但作者能把抽象的图形形象化、具体化，给人活生生的感觉。通过医生治病，提出解决问题的办法，其实也是代表了作者的观点，作者的观点含蓄又有深度。这篇文章的缺点是结构单一了一些。

经典TED英语演讲稿 篇七

演说题目：Questioning the universe

演说者：Stephen Hawking

There is nothing bigger or older than the universe. The questions I would like to talk about are: one, where did we come from? How did the universe come into being? Are we alone in the universe? Is there alien life out there? What is the future of the human race?

没什么比宇宙更广大更久远的了。你们的问题中我想聊一下的是：你我何从？宇宙何来？宇宙中就只有我们？有外星异生物么？人类的未来将会如何？

Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time. Then it was discovered that the universe was expanding. Distant galaxies were moving away from us. This meant they must have been closer together in the past. If we extrapolate back, we find we must have all been on top of each other about 15 billion years ago. This was the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe.

上世纪20xx年代之前，所有人都以为宇宙基本上是处于稳态，流金岁月，持恒不变。之后我们发现原来宇宙正在膨胀中。辽远星系一直飞离我们，这意味着它们必定曾相靠近。我们若往后推算，就会发现我们必都曾於约150亿年前，互相堆叠在一起。正是这 "霹雳大爆炸" ——宇宙之起始。

But was there anything before the Big Bang? If not, what created the universe? Why did the universe emerge from the Big Bang the way it did? We used to think that the theory of the universe could be divided into two parts. First, there were the laws like Maxwell's equations and general relativity that determined the evolution of the universe, given its state over all of space at one time. And second, there was no question of the initial state of the universe.

然而大爆炸前可有什么吗？若是没有，又是什么创造宇宙呢？宇宙缘何要从大霹雳中冒出呢？过往我们都认为宇宙论可分成两部分，首先，是定律。像“麦克斯韦方程组”'和 “广义相对论”以其于同一刻设定整个时空之状态，而决定了宇宙之演化进程。次之，是对宇宙雏形的疑问。

We have made good progress on the first part, and now have the knowledge of the laws of evolution in all but the most extreme conditions. But until recently, we have had little idea about the initial conditions for the universe. However, this division into laws of evolution and initial conditions depends on time and space being separate and distinct.

第一部分我们取得良好进展，除了“至极端境况”'以外。现在已对演化规律于所有境况下之进程有所掌握。可直至最近，我们仍对宇宙初生当时之周围条件不甚了了。然而，这演化律及初始条件之界分，乃囿于"时 空分明"之概念内。

Under extreme conditions, general relativity and quantum theoryallow time to behave like another dimension of space. This removes the distinction between time and space, and means the laws of evolution can also determine the initial state. The universe can spontaneously create itself out of nothing.

而於极端条件下，广义相对论及量子论容许“时间”如同“空间”的另一维度般运作。这就将“时。空”之间区别移除了，即是说演化律 亦可决定初始状态。宇宙可以由无变有自我创生！

Moreover, we can calculate a probability that the universe was created in different states. These predictions are in excellent agreement with observations by the WMAP satellite of the cosmic microwave background, which is an imprint of the very early universe. We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence.

我们甚至可以计算出宇宙在不同情况下诞生的可能性。这些推论与WMAP卫星所观测到的宇宙微波背景辐射（即大爆炸之痕迹）相当一致。我们相信已勘破了创造奥秘或许我们应将“宇宙”给注册，然后向每个生存于世的人收“生活费”。

I now turn to the second big question: are we alone, or is there other life in the universe? We believe that life arose spontaneously on the Earth, so it must be possible for life to appear on other suitable planets, of which there seem to be a large number in the galaxy.

现在我转到第二个大问题去，宇宙中就只有我们，还是另有其它生物？我们相信生命从地球自我衍生，故此生命确有可能出现於其它合适星球——星河中看来可有不少呢。

But we don't know how life first appeared. We have two pieces of observational evidence on the probability of life appearing. The first is that we have fossils of algae from 3.5 billion years ago. The Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago and was probably too hot for about the first half billion years. So life appeared on Earth within half a billion years of it being possible, which is short compared to the 10-billion-year lifetime of a planet of Earth type. This suggests that the probability of life appearing is reasonably high. If it was very low, one would have expected it to take most of the ten billion years available.

但我们仍未搅通生命是如何生成：对於生命诞生的可能契机，我们有两项观测得来的佐证。首先我们有来自35亿年前的海藻化石。地球于46亿年前形成，头约5亿年相信仍太热了。故此生命于其变得可能后的5亿年间方出现，这相对于像地球之类百亿年期的星体，只算是一段短时间。这意味着生命出现的概率是颇高的。若是低的话，就可预期要花尽百亿年的绝大部分才会出现。

On the other hand, we don't seem to have been visited by aliens. I am discounting the reports of UFOs.Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos? If there is a government conspiracy to suppress the reports and keep for itself the scientific knowledge the aliens bring, it seems to have been a singularly ineffective policy so far. Furthermore, despite an extensive search by the SETI project, we haven't heard any alien television quiz shows. This probably indicates that there are no alien civilizations at our stage of development within a radius of a few hundred light years. Issuing an insurance policy against abduction by aliens seems a pretty safe bet.

另一方面，我们似乎从未见有外星人到访。我不信那些什么“不明物体的报导”。它们干吗要单向那些古古怪怪的人现身呢？若真有一个甚麽政府阴谋要将报导打住，从而将外星人所带来之科学识据为己有，那可真像个既离奇，亦从未见效的举措。再说，即便SETI计划已进行广泛探索，我们还没有收听到任何外太空电视答问节目。这可能昭示在我们现阶段文明发展之方圆数百光年范围之内，并没有其它外星异文化。卖保险给那些怕被外星人绑架的人，看来是个不错的选择。

This brings me to the last of the big questions: the future of the human race. If we are the only intelligent beings in the galaxy, we should make sure we survive and continue. But we are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill. But our genetic code still carries the selfish and aggressive instincts that were of survival advantage in the past. It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand or million.

这送我到了最后一个大问题：人类的前途。若我们是星河里唯一智能生物，就必须确保自己能存活并延续下去。但我们正迈入历史中一个愈发危险的时段。我们的人囗和对地球有限资源的耗用，正以几何级数增长，相随的是我们将环境或弄好或弄垮的技术才能，至于我们的基因指令则仍带着那自私和好斗的本质，这或有利于我们过往求存，却又让我们于往后数百年内人祸难逃。更别说未来千百万年了。

Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain inward-looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space. The answers to these big questions show that we have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years, our future is in space.That is why I am in favor of manned — or should I say, personned — space flight.

我们长活下去的唯一机会，不是一直呆着在地球而是冲出太空去。这些大问题之解答显示我们于过去数百年取得可观进展。可若要超越未来数百年，们的前途在于太空。正因此，我较倾向于 "人" 控——（ man 于英语中可单指'人“”或“男人”） 或许我应说，由人驾驶之太空旅航。

All （www.chayi5.com)of my life I have sought to understand the universe and find answers to these questions. I have been very lucky that my disability has not been a serious handicap. Indeed, it has probably given me more time than most people to pursue the quest for knowledge. The ultimate goal is a complete theory of the universe, and we are making good progress. Thank you for listening.

我一生都在探究想要了解宇宙并找出这些问题之答案。我一直都非常幸运，我的残疾并没造成严重障礙；说真的，这反倒让我比大部分人获得更多时间以从事知识之追求。终极目标是一套完备的宇宙论，而我们已有良好进展。感谢您们的聆听。

Chris Anderson: Professor, if you had to guess either way, do you now believe that it is more likely than not that we are alone in the Milky Way, as a civilization of our level of intelligence or higher? This answer took seven minutes, and really gave me an insight into the incredible act of generosity this whole talk was for TED.

安德森：教授，若您必须二选其一作猜测，此刻您是较相信还是较不相信我们是天河中唯一现水平或更高水平之智能文化？准备这答案已花了7分多钟，真让我深切体会到这整个演讲为TED所付出之，让人难以置信之慷慨。

Stephen Hawking: I think it quite likely that we are the only civilization within several hundred light years; otherwise we would have heard radio waves. The alternative is that civilizations don't last very long, but destroy themselves.

霍金：我想我们应该是数百光年范围内之独一文明；否则我们应已收听到电波。另一种可能是，该等文明都维持不久，就自我毁灭掉。

CA: Professor Hawking, thank you for that answer. We will take it as a salutary warning, I think, for the rest of our conference this week. Professor, we really thank you for the extraordinary effort you madeto share your questions with us today. Thank you very much indeed.

安德森： 霍金教授，谢谢您的解答。我想，我们会将之作为这一周余下会谈之座右铭。教授，我们衷心感谢您今天为与我们分享您的问题所作出之卓越贡献。真的非常感谢您。

经典TED英语演讲稿 篇八

Look, I had second thoughts, really, about whether I could talk about this to such a vital and alive audience as you guys. Then I remembered the quote from Gloria Steinem, which goes, "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." (Laughter) So -- (Laughter)

So with that in mind, I'm going to set about trying to do those things here, and talk about dying in the 21st century. Now the first thing that will piss you off, undoubtedly, is that all of us are, in fact, going to die in the 21st century. There will be no exceptions to that. There are, apparently, about one in eight of you who think you're immortal, on surveys, but -- (Laughter) Unfortunately, that isn't going to happen.

While I give this talk, in the next 10 minutes, a hundred million of my cells will die, and over the course of today, 2,000 of my brain cells will die and never come back, so you could argue that the dying process starts pretty early in the piece.

Anyway, the second thing I want to say about dying in the 21st century, apart from it's going to happen to everybody, is it's shaping up to be a bit of a train wreck for most of us, unless we do something to try and reclaim this process from the rather inexorable trajectory that it's currently on.

So there you go. That's the truth. No doubt that will piss you off, and now let's see whether we can set you free. I don't promise anything. Now, as you heard in the intro, I work in intensive care, and I think I've kind of lived through the heyday of intensive care. It's been a ride, man. This has been fantastic. We have machines that go ping. There's many of them up there. And we have some wizard technology which I think has worked really well, and over the course of the time I've worked in intensive care, the death rate for males in Australia has halved, and intensive care has had something to do with that. Certainly, a lot of the technologies that we use have got something to do with that.

So we have had tremendous success, and we kind of got caught up in our own success quite a bit, and we started using expressions like "lifesaving." I really apologize to everybody for doing that, because obviously, we don't. What we do is prolong people's lives, and delay death, and redirect death, but we can't, strictly speaking, save lives on any sort of permanent basis.

And what's really happened over the period of time that I've been working in intensive care is that the people whose lives we started saving back in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, are now coming to die in the 21st century of diseases that we no longer have the answers to in quite the way we did then.

So what's happening now is there's been a big shift in the way that people die, and most of what they're dying of now isn't as amenable to what we can do as what it used to be like when I was doing this in the '80s and '90s.

So we kind of got a bit caught up with this, and we haven't really squared with you guys about what's really happening now, and it's about time we did. I kind of woke up to this bit in the late '90s when I met this guy. This guy is called Jim, Jim Smith, and he looked like this. I was called down to the ward to see him. His is the little hand. I was called down to the ward to see him by a respiratory physician. He said, "Look, there's a guy down here. He's got pneumonia, and he looks like he needs intensive care. His daughter's here and she wants everything possible to be done." Which is a familiar phrase to us. So I go down to the ward and see Jim, and his skin his translucent like this. You can see his bones through the skin. He's very, very thin, and he is, indeed, very sick with pneumonia, and he's too sick to talk to me, so I talk to his daughter Kathleen, and I say to her, "Did you and Jim ever talk about what you would want done if he ended up in this kind of situation?" And she looked at me and said,

"No, of course not!" I thought, "Okay. Take this steady." And I got talking to her, and after a while, she said to me, "You know, we always thought there'd be time."

Jim was 94. (Laughter) And I realized that something wasn't happening here. There wasn't this dialogue going on that I imagined was happening. So a group of us started doing survey work, and we looked at four and a half thousand nursing home residents in Newcastle, in the Newcastle area, and discovered that only one in a hundred of them had a plan about what to do when their hearts stopped beating. One in a hundred. And only one in 500 of them had plan about what to do if they became seriously ill. And I realized, of course, this dialogue is definitely not occurring in the public at large.

ted演讲稿 篇九

尊敬的老师、同学们：

大家好！

很多年以前，我曾经说过，时间可以改变一切。

看着那些老旧的照片，感觉好像还是活在过去，想着想着……如今，也回不到从前了，也听不到那欠扁的笑容了，其实，我以为一辈子都不会忘记的事情就在我们念念不忘的日子里，而被我遗忘了，努力想记起你们的名字，却是徒然，真的记不起了……

岁月如流水，转瞬之间，又是一年过去了。以前习惯了嘻嘻哈哈、笑容满面的我，现在时常稍作停顿，时而顾盼，时而思考，一路走来，不断的思考，不少的烦恼，也不愿错过每一处风景。时间的力量，不仅在于它可以让你重新审视这个世界，而且是一种解药可以冲淡回忆。不愿记起的、快乐的、难以释怀的、所有的记忆。也可以把人的思维方式也全盘更新一遍。突然有一天，回头再找寻原来的我，才发现我已非我。

在家的日子就是那么无聊、那么无奈。只是吃好睡好、但是同样的24小时就很难熬。每天都是傻乎乎在家发呆，在家也想了很多以前悔恨的事，走过的、路过的、玩过的……都留下我那悔恨的足迹……现在，我就要做一个全新的我，也不再是以前的我，而是“少说话，多办事”“……”的我。一切不幸之事随着时间而覆盖……

每个人都是一道靓丽的风景线，但世界不会为你而改变，环境也不会主动去适应我们自己。因而，我们只能去改变自己，去适应环境，进而取得成功。

改变自己，方可以意志的血滴和拼搏的汗水酿成历久弥香的琼浆，方可以不凋的希望和不灭的梦想编织绚丽辉煌的彩虹，方可以永恒的执着和顽强的韧力筑起固若金汤的铁壁铜墙。
