英语的演讲1
An evolutionary biologist at Purdue University named William Muir studied chickens. He was interested in productivity — I think it's something that concerns all of us — but it's easy to measure in chickens because you just
I've been intrigued by this question of whether we could evolve or develop a sixth sense -- a sense that would give us seamless access and easy access to meta-information or information that may exist somewhere that may be relevant to help us make the right decision about whatever it is that we're coming across.
有一个问题我思考了很久， 就是我们能否进化出一种第六感官。 这种感官可以让我们快速的 便捷的获得元信息， 或者是其他的一些信息， 在我们需要做出一些决定的时候， 这些信息能帮助我们做出正确的选择。
And some of you may argue, well, don't today's cell phones do that already? But I would say no. When you meet someone here at TED -- and this is the top networking place, of course, of the year -- you don't shake somebody's hand and then say, "Can you hold on for a moment while I take out my phone and Google you?"
你们可能会说， 当今的手机不正是如此吗? 但是，我不认同。 假设，当你在TED遇到某人， TED，毫无疑问，是每年最佳的社交场所。 难道你会不跟人家握手， 然后说：“你能等一会吗? 我要用手机Google一下你。”
Or when you go to the supermarket and you're standing there in that huge aisle of different types of toilet papers, you don't take out your cell phone, and open a browser, and go to a website to try to decide which of these different toilet papers is the most ecologically responsible purchase to make.
或者，当你在超市里， 站在一排巨大的货架前， 面对着各种各样的厕纸， 难道你会拿出手机，打开浏览器 登录一个网站，尝试去决定 到底哪一种厕纸 才是最环保的，最应该买的?
So we don't really have easy access to all this relevant information that can just help us make optimal decisions about what to do next and what actions to take. And so my research group at the Media Lab has been developing a series of inventions to give us access to this information in a sort of easy way, without requiring that the user changes any of their behavior.
所以说，我们并没有一个便捷的渠道 去获取这些信息，这些能帮助我们做出应该要干什么的最佳决定的信息。 因此，我的实验室的研发团队完成了一系列的发明，在不改变用户行为的条件下， 帮助用户快速简单的 获取这些信息。
And I'm here to unveil our latest effort, and most successful effort so far, which is still very much a work in process. I'm actually wearing the device right now and we've sort of cobbled it together with components that are off the shelf -- and that, by the way, only cost 350 dollars at this point in time.
现在，我将这个设备展示给大家。 这是我们至今最成功的版本， 仍然在不断改进。 我现在正佩戴着 我们其实是把市面上常见的 一些组件组装在了一起。 顺便提一下，目前这个设备 的成本是350美元。
I'm wearing a camera, just a simple webcam, a portable, battery-powered projection system with a little mirror. These components communicate to my cell phone in my pocket which acts as the communication and computation device. And in the video here we see my student Pranav Mistry, who's really the genius who's been implementing and designing this whole system.
我佩戴着一个相机，就是一个简单的网络摄像头， 一个便携的用电池供电的投影仪和一个小镜子。 这些组件跟我口袋中的手机进行通讯， 手机作为一个通讯和计算的设备。 画面中，是我的天才学生Pranav Mistry， 他设计并制造了 这整套系统。
And we see how this system lets him walk up to any surface and start using his hands to interact with the information that is projected in front of him. The system tracks the four significant fingers. In this case, he's wearing simple marker caps that you may recognize. But if you want a more stylish version you could also paint your nails in different colors.
我们可以看到， 当他靠近任何表面时， 信息就会被投影到表面上， 他就用双手来进行操作。 系统会跟踪四个主要的手指。 在这里，你可以看到 他戴着用于标示的指套。 如果你想要更美观， 可以把你的指甲染成不同的颜色。
And the camera basically tracks these four fingers and recognizes any gestures that he's making so he can just go to, for example, a map of Long Beach, zoom in and out, etc. The system also recognizes iconic gestures such as the "take a picture" gesture, and then takes a picture of whatever is in front of you.
摄像头会跟踪这四个手指， 识别他的任何手势， 例如，他可以打开Long Beach的地图， 进行放大或者缩小等等操作。 这个系统也能识别“象征性手势”， 比如，当你做出这个“拍照手势”， 系统就会拍照，把你面前的东西拍下来。
And when he then walks back to the Media Lab, he can just go up to any wall and project all the pictures that he's taken, sort through them and organize them, and re-size them, etc., again using all natural gestures. So, some of you most likely were here two years ago and saw the demo by Jeff Han or some of you may think, "Well, doesn't this look like the Microsoft Surface Table?"
当他回到Media Lab实验室之后， 他可以走近任何一面墙， 投影出他拍的所有照片， 用各种自然手势，进行整理，归类， 改变大小等各种操作。 所有操作都用手势来完成。 你们当中有些人两年前在这里 应该看过Jeff Han演示微软的Surface系统， 你们可能觉得：这套系统跟Surface看起来很像。
And yes, you also interact using natural gestures, both hands, etc. But the difference here is that you can use any surface, you can walk to up to any surface, including your hand if nothing else is available and interact with this projected data. The device is completely portable, and can be ... (Applause)
没错，这两套系统都是用自然手势， 用双手来操作。 但区别是，我这套系统可以在任何表面上操作， 你可以走近任何表面， 如果没有可用的表面，你还可以用自己的手 与投影的数据进行交互。 这个设备的使用是完全没有限制的， 而且可以用来…… (掌声)
So one important difference is that it's totally mobile. Another even more important difference is that in mass production this would not cost more tomorrow than today's cell phones and would actually not sort of be a bigger packaging -- could look a lot more stylish than this version that I'm wearing around my neck.
所以，最重要的区别就是，我这套系统是完全便携移动的。 另一个更重要的区别是，这个设备将来量产， 不会比今天的手机贵， 也不会像我现在戴着的这么笨重， 会变得更时尚更美观， 比我现在戴着的这个要好看。
But other than letting some of you live out your fantasy of looking as cool as Tom Cruise in "Minority Report," the reason why we're really excited about this device is that it really can act as one of these sixth-sense devices that gives you relevant information about whatever is in front of you. So we see Pranav here going into the supermarket and he's shopping for some paper towels.
这个设备除了让你们的幻想变为现实， 让你们看起来跟《少数派报告》里的Tom Cruise一样酷之外， 真正值得振奋的是， 它确实可以充当一种“第六感官”， 为你提供在你面前的 任何物体的.相关信息。 我们看到Pranav现在去了超市， 他打算买一些纸巾。
And, as he picks up a product the system can recognize the product that he's picking up, using either image recognition or marker technology, and give him the green light or an orange light. He can ask for additional information. So this particular choice here is a particularly good choice, given his personal criteria. Some of you may want the toilet paper with the most bleach in it rather than the most ecologically-responsible choice.
当他拿起一种纸巾时， 系统会通过图像识别或者是标识技术 自动识别这种纸巾， 然后显示一个绿灯，或者是橙灯。 他可以取得更多信息。 所以现在这个选择， 根据他个人的标准，是一个最佳选择。 你们有些人可能想要含有最多漂白剂的厕纸， 而不是最环保的厕纸。
(Laughter)
(笑声)
If he picks up a book in the bookstore, he can get an Amazon rating -- it gets projected right on the cover of the book. This is Juan's book, our previous speaker, which gets a great rating, by the way, at Amazon. And so, Pranav turns the page of the book and can then see additional information about the book -- reader comments, maybe sort of information by his favorite critic, etc. If he turns to a particular page he finds an annotation by maybe an expert of a friend of ours that gives him a little bit of additional information about whatever is on that particular page. Reading the newspaper -- it never has to be outdated.
当他在书店拿起一本书时， 他会获得亚马逊网站对于这本书的评价。 这些信息直接被投影到书的封面上。 这本是之前的演讲者Juan的著作， 在亚马逊大受好评。 然后，当Pranav翻开这本书， 会看到这本书的更多相关信息-- 读者评论，他最喜欢的书评家对于此书的评论，等等。 如果他翻到特定的某页， 他会看到我们的朋友中的某个专家 所作的一个注脚，给他提供一些 关于这一页的附加信息。 看报纸的时候， 永远都有最及时的信息。
You can get video annotations of the event that you're reading about You can get the latest sports scores etc. This is a more controversial one.
你可以看到事件的视频报道， 可以看到体育比赛的最及时的比分，等等。 接下来是一个有争议的功能。
As you interact with someone at TED, maybe you can see a word cloud of the tags, the words that are associated with that person in their blog and personal web pages. In this case, the student is interested in cameras, etc. On your way to the airport, if you pick up your boarding pass, it can tell you that your flight is delayed, that the gate has changed, etc. And, if you need to know what the current time is it's as simple as drawing a watch -- (Laughter) (Applause) on your arm.
当你在这遇到某人， 你会看到一个标签云， 这些标签是跟这个人相关的， 是从这个人的博客和个人主页中提取的。 在这个例子中，我们看到这位学生对相机感兴趣，等等。 在你去机场的路上， 当你拿出你的登机牌，它会告诉你航班延误了， 登机口改换了，等等。 还有，如果你想知道时间的话， 非常简单，在你的手臂上 (笑声) (掌声) 画一个表盘。
So that's where we're at so far in developing this sixth sense that would give us seamless access to all this relevant information about the things that we may come across. My student Pranav, who's really, like I said, the genius behind this.
这就是我们开发的第六感官目前的进展。 这种让我们可以随时随地获取相关信息， 方便我们的生活， 帮助我们更好的生活。 我的天才学生 Pranav，
(Applause) (Standing ovation)
(掌声)
He does deserve a lot of applause because I don't think he's slept much in the last three months, actually. And his girlfriend is probably not very happy about him either. But it's not perfect yet, it's very much a work in progress. And who knows, maybe in another 10 years we'll be here with the ultimate sixth sense brain implant. Thank you.
应该得到这些掌声， 他过去三个月废寝忘食的工作。 他的女朋友肯定是一肚子牢骚。 但是，这个设备目前还不完善。 或许在未来十年之内， 我们的大脑中会植入超级的第六感官。 谢谢。
(Applause)
(掌声)
英语的演讲2
Reagan: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you and good evening. The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn't been provided with a script. As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own words and discuss my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the next few weeks.
I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines. Now, one side in this campaign has been telling us that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity. The line has been used, "We've never had it so good."
But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn't something on which we can base our hopes for the future. No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. Today, 37 cents out of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector's share, and yet our government continues to spend 17 million dollars a day more than the government takes in. We haven't balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years. We've raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations of the world. We have 15 billion dollars in gold in our treasury; we don't own an ounce. Foreign dollar claims are 27.3 billion dollars. And we've just had announced that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.
As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely. Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace? There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.
Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to." And in that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.
This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down -- [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.
英语的演讲3
Smile for life
First, ladies and gentlemen, please look at my face. Do you know what I’m doing? Yes, quite right, I’m smiling.
I like smiling, because it makes me more confident and more popular. Don’t you think it important?
Can you imagine a world without smiles? Can you bear seeing sad faces here and there? What a gloomy world it would without smiles!
But people sometimes overlook the importance of smiling since it is so simple. It seems that people are always in such a hurry for their own business that they complain a lot about the lack of happiness in life and some people even want to be Harry Porter to learn the magic spell of happiness.
Now and here I should that, ladies and gentlemen, every one of us knows exactly well what the spell actually is and the spell is so simple and just at hand. What is it? That’s smile.
Smile is such a magic spell. It is a kind of emotional contact. It makes strangers becomes friends. It makes parents and children understand each other better and it makes the love between lovers deeper.
Smile is such a magic spell. It’s also a kind of encouragement. It makes people feel warm in ice and snow. It gives thirsty people power to walk on in a dessert. It makes cowards become brave and it makes people see hope in desperate situations.
So please remember ‘Smile & make your life brighter’ and smile for life. Every time you smile you give yourself a perfect chance to enjoy life. Every time you smile, you bring the brilliant sunshine to the whole world around you as well as to yourself.
Nike tells us Just do it. So I will say: Just smile it.
为生活微笑
首先，女士们、先生们，请注意看我的脸。你们知道我在干什么吗?对，很正确，我在微笑。 我喜欢微笑。因为它可以使我看上去更自信、更受人欢迎。 难道你们不认为微笑很重要吗?
你能想象一个没有微笑的世界吗?你能忍受整天看着一张张悲哀的脸四处游荡吗?没有微笑的世界将是多么阴郁!
但是人们有时会忽略微笑的重要，因为它太平凡了。人们似乎总是陷在一阵为各自工作而忙碌的慌乱之中而时常抱怨生活中缺少欢乐。甚至还有些人希望成为哈利·波特，学会欢乐的魔咒。
女士们、先生们，现在在这里我要告诉你们的是：“其实我们每一个人都十分清楚欢乐魔咒的真正内容，而且咒语本身也是普通至极、唾手可得。是什么?那就是微笑。
微笑就是这样一条神奇的咒语。它可以使陌生人成为朋友，它可以使父母和子女互相理解，它也可以使恋人之间的爱情更加深厚。
微笑就是这样一条神奇的咒语。它还是一种鼓舞与激励。它让冰雪中艰难求索的.人感到温暖;它给沙漠中干渴将死的人以继续前进的力量;它让懦夫变的勇敢;它让人们在绝望中看到希望的曙光。
所以请记住：“微笑让你的生活更美好”并为生活微笑吧!每一微笑都会给你一个享受生活的绝佳良机;每一次微笑都会给你和全世界带来灿烂的阳光!
让我们模仿着NIKE的广告语说：“Just smile it!”
英语的演讲4
Late in January 1975, a 17-year-old German girl called Vera Brandes walked out onto the stage of the Cologne Opera House. The auditorium was empty. It was lit only by the dim, green glow of the emergency exit sign. This was the most exciting day of Vera's life.
1975年的一月下旬，一个叫维拉·布兰德斯的17岁的德国女孩从幕后走上了科隆歌剧院的舞台。 观众席上空无一人。全场仅仅被一个绿色安全出口标志的昏暗的光微微照亮。这一天是维拉生命中最最激动的一天。
She was the youngest concert promoter in Germany, and she had persuaded the Cologne Opera House to host a late-night concert of jazz from the American musician, Keith Jarrett. 1,400 people were coming. And in just a few hours,Jarrett would walk out on the same stage, he'd sit down at the piano and without rehearsal or sheet music, he would begin to play.
她在当时是德国 最年轻的演奏会经纪人， 她说服了科隆歌剧院举办美国音乐家——基思·杰瑞特的一个爵士深夜场音乐会。1400位观众即将到场。再过几个小时，杰瑞特就会走上那个舞台，坐在钢琴旁，不经过排练，没有乐谱，就开始他的演奏。
But right now, Vera was introducing Keith to the piano in question, and it wasn't going well. Jarrett looked to the instrument a little warily, played a few notes, walked around it, played a few more notes,muttered something to his producer. Then the producer came over to Vera and said ... "If you don't get a new piano, Keith can't play."
但那时候， 维拉向基思展示的钢琴出了些问题，而且情况不是太好。杰瑞特仔细地看了看那个钢琴，弹了几个音，绕着钢琴走了一圈之后，又弹了几个音，跟他的制作人嘟囔了几句。然后制作人过去跟维拉说—— “如果你们弄不来一台新的钢琴，基思今天就弹不成了。”
There'd been a mistake. The opera house had provided the wrong instrument. This one had this harsh, tinny upper register, because all the felt had worn away. The black notes were sticking, the white notes were out of tune, the pedals didn't work and the piano itself was just too small. It wouldn't create the volume that would fill a large space such as the Cologne Opera House.
其实当时是出错了。歌剧院没准备好乐器。那台钢琴的高音部听起来又尖又刺耳，因为其中的所有毛毡都磨损坏了。黑键听起来感觉拖拖拉拉，白键走调了，脚踏板也坏了，而且那台钢琴也特别小。那钢琴根本弹不出足够大的声音来让像科隆歌剧院这么大空间里的观众都听到。
So Keith Jarrett left. He went and sat outside in his car, leaving Vera Brandes to get on the phone to try to find a replacement piano. Now she got a piano tuner, but she couldn't get a new piano. And so she went outside and she stood there in the rain, talking to Keith Jarrett, begging him not to cancel the concert. And he looked out of his car at this bedraggled, rain-drenched German teenager, took pity on her, and said, "Never forget ... only for you."
所以基思·杰瑞特就走了。他走出去坐在他的车里，留下了维拉·布兰德斯在那里打电话试着弄来一台能用的钢琴。她找到了个钢琴调音师，但她弄不到新钢琴。然后她也出去了，站在雨中，开始跟基思·杰瑞特交谈，求他不要取消那场音乐会。他看向车外那个全身被雨浇透的德国年轻人，心中升起了同情，说道， “别忘了啊——我只为你这样做。”
And so a few hours later, Jarrett did indeed step out onto the stage of the opera house, he sat down at the unplayable piano and began.
然后几个小时之后，杰瑞特真的走到了歌剧院的舞台上，他坐到那个弹不了的钢琴旁边开始了演奏。
Within moments it became clear that something magical was happening. Jarrett was avoiding those upper registers, he was sticking to the middle tones of the keyboard, which gave the piece a soothing, ambient quality. But also, because the piano was so quiet, he had to set up these rumbling, repetitive riffs in the bass. And he stood up twisting, pounding down on the keys, desperately trying to create enough volume to reach the people in the back row.
当音乐逐渐响起的时候，神奇的事情发生了。杰瑞特避开了那些高音部分，他一直用键盘上的中音区部分演奏，这使得音乐非常舒缓，还有环绕音的效果了。而且，因为那台钢琴的声音太小了，他要在低音区制造一些有轰隆隆声的即兴重复片段。他还站起来转身用力敲击琴键，极力地想要弹出大一些的音量好让后排的观众们都能听见。
It's an electrifying performance. It somehow has this peaceful quality, and at the same time it's full of energy, it's dynamic. And the audience loved it. Audiences continue to love it because the recording of the K?ln Concert is the best-selling piano album in history and the best-selling solo jazz album in history.
那次表演很令人兴奋。既有安静的质感，同时又充满力量，非常有活力。观众们很喜欢这次演出。而观众们在演出之后继续保持了对它的热爱，因为那场科隆音乐会的录音是有史以来最畅销的钢琴曲专辑和有史以来最畅销的爵士独奏专辑。
Keith Jarrett had been handed a mess. He had embraced that mess, and it soared. But let's think for a moment about Jarrett's initial instinct. He didn't want to play. Of course, I think any of us, in any remotely similar situation, would feel the same way, we'd have the same instinct. We don't want to be asked to do good work with bad tools. We don't want to have to overcome unnecessary hurdles.
基思·杰瑞特遇到了个麻烦。他容忍了那个麻烦，并想出了解决的创意。但让我们想一想杰瑞特的直觉。他其实一开始并不想演奏。当然，我想我们每一个人，当遇到类似的情况时，可能都会有同样的感觉，我们可能会有同样的直觉。我们不想被要求用糟糕的工具干出好活。我们也不愿意克服不必要的麻烦。
But Jarrett's instinct was wrong, and thank goodness he changed his mind. And I think our instinct is also wrong. I think we need to gain a bit more appreciation for the unexpected advantages of having to cope with a little mess. So let me give you some examples from cognitive psychology, from complexity science, from social psychology, and of course, rock 'n' roll.
但是杰瑞特的直觉是错的，不过感谢老天他改了主意。我觉得我们的直觉也是错的。我觉得我们需要对那些因为必须解决一些小麻烦而获得的出人意料的优势而心怀感激。我来给大家举一些例子，从认知心理学，复杂性科学，社会心理学，当然还有摇滚乐的角度来看一看。
So cognitive psychology first. We've actually known for a while that certain kinds of difficulty, certain kinds of obstacle, can actually improve our performance. For example, the psychologist Daniel Oppenheimer, a few years ago, teamed up with high school teachers. And he asked them to reformat the handouts that they were giving to some of their classes. So the regular handout would be formatted in something straightforward, such as Helvetica or Times New Roman.
那么首先是认知心理学。我们都已经很明白了一些特定的困难和一些特定的障碍的存在实际上可以提升我们的表现。举例来说，心理学家丹尼尔·奥本海默几年前和一些高中老师进行了一次合作。他要求老师们重新规定他们的一些课堂教课所用讲义的格式。普通讲义的格式都是很直截了当的，比如Helvetica或Times New Roam字体。
But half these classes were getting handouts that were formatted in something sort of intense, like Haettenschweiler, or something with a zesty bounce, like Comic Sans italicized. Now, these are really ugly fonts, and they're difficult fonts to read. But at the end of the semester, students were given exams, and the students who'd been asked to read the more difficult fonts, had actually done better on their exams, in a variety of subjects.
但其中一半的课堂将会得到重新规定格式的讲义，比如用Haettenschweiler这种棱角分明的字体，或者是斜体Comic Sans这种看起来有跳跃性的漫画字体。这些字体是很丑的，并且不易读。但在那个学期的期末，学生们考试的时候，那些被要求读了一个学期复杂字体的学生们，最后很多学科的成绩反而更好。
And the reason is, the difficult font had slowed them down,forced them to work a bit harder, to think a bit more about what they were reading, to interpret it ... and so they learned more.
原因就是，读更复杂的字体让他们塌下心来，逼着他们付出更多的努力，对他们正在读的东西就会多一些思考，可以更好地理解······ 所以他们学到的就更多。
Another example. The psychologist Shelley Carson has been testing Harvard undergraduates for the quality of their attentional filters. What do I mean by that? What I mean is, imagine you're in a restaurant, you're having a conversation, there are all kinds of other conversations going on in the restaurant, you want to filter them out, you want to focus on what's important to you.
再看另一个例子。心理学家谢利·卡尔森给哈佛大学的毕业生做测试来研究他们注意力的过滤能力。知道我说的是什么意思吗?我的意思就是，想象你在一个餐厅中，正在和人交谈，而餐厅中有很多各种各样的交谈正在进行着，你想要从中过滤出信息，你想要专注于对你有用的信息。
Can you do that?If you can, you have good, strong attentional filters. But some people really struggle with that. Some of Carson's undergraduate subjects struggled with that. They had weak filters, they had porous filters -- let a lot of external information in. And so what that meant is they were constantly being interruptedby the sights and the sounds of the world around them. If there was a television on while they were doing their essays, they couldn't screen it out.
你能做到吗?如果你可以的话，你就有很好、很强的注意力过滤能力。但是有些人确实不容易做到。一些卡尔森实验的毕业生也或多或少地缺乏这种能力。他们的过滤能力不强，容易把很多关键信息漏掉——但却会引入很多外部信息。意思就是说他们会不断地被他们周围世界中的声色所干扰。如果当他们写作的时候旁边有一台开着的电视， 他们排除不了电视的干扰。
Now, you would think that that was a disadvantage ... but no. When Carson looked at what these students had achieved, the ones with the weak filters were vastly more likely to have some real creative milestone in their lives, to have published their first novel, to have released their first album.These distractions were actually grists to their creative mill. They were able to think outside the box because their box was full of holes.
现在，你可能会觉得这是个缺点······ 但并不是。当卡尔森观察这些学生的表现时，那些过滤能力较弱的学生极有可能在他们的一生中建立真正的创造性的里程碑，更可能出版他们的第一部小说，或者发行第一张唱片。这些外部的干扰实际上激发了他们的创意机能。他们可以跳出固有的思维模式，因为他们的思维模式中全是“小孔”。
Let's talk about complexity science. So how do you solve a really complex -- the world's full of complicated problems -- how do you solve a really complicated problem?
让我们聊一聊复杂性科学。那么你们是怎么解决一个真正复杂的——这个世界充满了复杂的问题——你们是怎么解决一个 确实复杂的问题的呢?
For example, you try to make a jet engine. There are lots and lots of different variables, the operating temperature, the materials, all the different dimensions, the shape. You can't solve that kind of problem all in one go, it's too hard. So what do you do? Well, one thing you can do is try to solve it step-by-step. So you have some kind of prototype and you tweak it, you test it, you improve it. You tweak it, you test it, you improve it.
比如，你试着去制造一台喷气式发动机。这工作存在着很多不同的可变因素，工作温度、材料、所有不同的维度、形状。你不能一次性解决全部这些问题，那太难了。那你会怎么做呢?你所能做的'就是试着一步一步地解决。你做出了几种原型出来，然后你会做出一些改变，做一下测试之后再改进。再做出一些改变，做一下测试之后再改进。
Now, this idea of marginal gains will eventually get you a good jet engine. And it's been quite widely implemented in the world. So you'll hear about it, for example, in high performance cycling, web designers will talk about trying to optimize their web pages, they're looking for these step-by-step gains.
这种边际增益的理念最终可以让你做出一个很好的喷气式发动机。这种方法在全世界 都广泛应用。你可能会听说，比如在高性能循环领域，网页设计师会讨论试图优化他们的网站，他们会寻找这些逐步收益。
That's a good way to solve a complicated problem. But you know what would make it a better way? A dash of mess. You add randomness, early on in the process, you make crazy moves, you try stupid things that shouldn't work, and that will tend to make the problem-solving work better. And the reason for that is the trouble with the step-by-step process, the marginal gains, is they can walk you gradually down a dead end. And if you start with the randomness, that becomes less likely, and your problem-solving becomes more robust.
这是一个解决复杂困难问题的好方法。但你知道更好的方法是什么吗?针对一系列的麻烦。你可以随意一点，在工作的初期阶段，你可以做一些疯狂的事，你可以试着做一些并不管用的傻事情，而这可能会使解决问题的效果更好。原因就是一步一步地解决问题，所谓的边际增益，会逐渐带你走进死胡同。但如果你一开始就随意一些，那结果就会不太一样了，你解决问题会变得更加高效。
Let's talk about social psychology. So the psychologist Katherine Phillips, with some colleagues,recently gave murder mystery problems to some students, and these students were collected in groups of four and they were given dossiers with information about a crime -- alibis and evidence, witness statements and three suspects.
我们来谈一谈社会心理学。心理学家凯瑟琳·菲利普斯和几个同事最近把神秘谋杀案 交给了一些学生解决，这些学生编为四人一组，他们每组都得到了含有一个案件信息的卷宗——包括不在场证明和证据，证人证言和三个嫌疑犯。
And the groups of four students were asked to figure out who did it, who committed the crime. And there were two treatments in this experiment. In some cases these were four friends, they all knew each other well. In other cases, three friends and a stranger.And you can see where I'm going with this.
编成四人一组的这些学生们被要求要找出真凶，找出到底是谁犯了罪。这个实验中有两种分组。一部分分组中，组中的四个人都是好朋友，他们互相之间非常了解。另一种分组，组内有三个好朋友，一个陌生人。你可能知道了我要说什么。
Obviously I'm going to say that the groups with the stranger solved the problem more effectively,which is true, they did. Actually, they solved the problem quite a lot more effectively. So the groups of four friends, they only had a 50-50 chance of getting the answer right. Which is actually not that great -- in multiple choice, for three answers? 50-50's not good.
很显然我会说那种有个陌生人的组解决问题更加高效，这是真的，他们确实做到了。实际上，他们解决问题的效率非常高。那种四人都是好朋友的组，他们只有一半的几率找出了真凶。这可真不怎么样——只有三个备选答案的单选题，只有一半几率答对了可不怎么样。
The three friends and the stranger, even though the stranger didn't have any extra information, even though it was just a case of how that changed the conversation to accommodate that awkwardness,the three friends and the stranger, they had a 75 percent chance of finding the right answer. That's quite a big leap in performance.
那种三个好朋友一个陌生人的组，即使那个陌生人没有得到任何额外信息，即使他们组员之间需要不断改变交谈的方式来缓解尴尬。但三个好朋友和一个陌生人的组仍然有75%的几率找出真凶。这两种表现实在差距很大。
But I think what's really interesting is not just that the three friends and the stranger did a better job,but how they felt about it. So when Katherine Phillips interviewed the groups of four friends, they had a nice time, they also thought they'd done a good job. They were complacent. When she spoke to the three friends and the stranger, they had not had a nice time -- it's actually rather difficult, it's rather awkward ... and they were full of doubt. They didn't think they'd done a good job even though they had. And I think that really exemplifies the challenge that we're dealing with here.
但我觉得真正有趣的不仅仅是三个好朋友和一个陌生人的组做得更好，而是他们参加这次实验的感受。当凯瑟琳·菲利普斯采访四个好朋友的组时，他们说感觉很开心，他们同样也觉得自己做得很好。他们很满足。当她采访三个好朋友和一个陌生人的组时，他们说他们相处的不是很好——他们相处得比较困难，互相之间还很尴尬······ 工作之中充满了疑惑。即使他们已经做得很好了，然而他们还是觉得不太好。而我觉得这可以很好地例证 我们今天讨论的问题。
Because, yeah -- the ugly font, the awkward stranger, the random move ... these disruptions help us solve problems, they help us become more creative. But we don't feel that they're helping us. We feel that they're getting in the way ... and so we resist. And that's why the last example is really important.
因为，其实——难看的字体，尴尬的陌生人，随意的工作方法······ 这些阻碍使我们更好地解决问题，它们使我们更加迸发创意。但我们却并不觉得这些帮助了我们。我们觉得它们阻碍了我们······ 我们就跟它们对抗。这就是为什么这最后一个例子特别重要的原因。
So I want to talk about somebody from the background of the world of rock 'n' roll. And you may know him, he's actually a TED-ster. His name is Brian Eno. He is an ambient composer -- rather brilliant.
我来给你们介绍来自摇滚世界的一个人。你们可能认识他，他是个实实在在的TED迷。他叫布莱恩·伊诺。他是个环境音乐作曲家——非常优秀。
He's also a kind of catalyst behind some of the great rock 'n' roll albums of the last 40 years. He's worked with David Bowie on "Heroes," he worked with U2 on "Achtung Baby" and "The Joshua Tree,"he's worked with DEVO, he's worked with Coldplay, he's worked with everybody.
他也是过去40年中 很多摇滚乐巨作诞生的催化剂。他和大卫·鲍伊合作过歌曲《Heroes》，他和U2合作过歌曲《Achtung Baby》《The Joshua Tree》。他和退化乐队(DEVO)合作过，他和酷玩乐队(Coldplay)合作过，他和很多人都合作过。
And what does he do to make these great rock bands better? Well, he makes a mess. He disrupts their creative processes. It's his role to be the awkward stranger. It's his role to tell them that they have to play the unplayable piano.
那么他为了使这些摇滚乐队变得更好做了些什么呢? 他制造麻烦。他阻碍他们的创作过程。他的角色就是做那个“尴尬的陌生人”。他的任务就是告诉他们一定要弹一下 那台坏了的钢琴。
And one of the ways in which he creates this disruption is through this remarkable deck of cards -- I have my signed copy here -- thank you, Brian. They're called The Oblique Strategies, he developed them with a friend of his. And when they're stuck in the studio, Brian Eno will reach for one of the cards. He'll draw one at random, and he'll make the band follow the instructions on the card.
他其中一个创造阻碍的方式就是用这一叠卡片——我手中的这叠是份签名版——布莱恩，谢谢你。这叫“倾斜策略”，是他是和一个朋友一块儿发明的。当他们在工作室创意枯竭的时候，布莱恩·伊诺就会拿出其中一张卡片。他会随意取出一张，然后让乐队根据卡片上的指示去做。
So this one ... "Change instrument roles." Yeah, everyone swap instruments -- Drummer on the piano -- Brilliant, brilliant idea.
看看这一张—— “改变演奏乐器”。是的，每个人都交换一下乐器——比如鼓手去弹钢琴—— 真是非常非常棒的主意。
"Look closely at the most embarrassing details. Amplify them."
"Make a sudden, destructive, unpredictable action. Incorporate."
These cards are disruptive.
“仔细看看最尴尬的细节。然后把它们放大。”
“做出既突然、同时又具有破坏性且无法预料的行动。”
这些卡片都有阻碍作用。
Now, they've proved their worth in album after album. The musicians hate them.
现在，这些卡片已经通过一张张的唱片证明了它的价值。音乐家们恨透了它们。
So Phil Collins was playing drums on an early Brian Eno album. He got so frustrated he started throwing beer cans across the studio.
菲尔·柯林斯曾经在布莱恩-伊诺的一张唱片里打过鼓。有一次把他气得把啤酒罐从工作室的一头扔到了另一头。
Carlos Alomar, great rock guitarist, working with Eno on David Bowie's "Lodger" album, and at one point he turns to Brian and says, "Brian, this experiment is stupid." But the thing is it was a pretty good album, but also, Carlos Alomar, 35 years later, now uses The Oblique Strategies. And he tells his students to use The Oblique Strategies because he's realized something. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't helping you.
卡洛斯·阿洛玛，非常优秀的摇滚吉他手，和伊诺一起参与过大卫·鲍伊专辑《Lodger》的制作。有一回，他跟布莱恩说， “布莱恩，这个实验蠢透了。” 但事实证明那是一张非常棒的专辑，而且，卡洛斯·阿洛玛在35年后，也就是现在正在使用“倾斜策略”。他还介绍给他的学生们使用“倾斜策略”，因为他懂了一个道理。那就是你不喜欢它并不代表它对你没用。
The strategies actually weren't a deck of cards originally, they were just a list -- list on the recording studio wall. A checklist of things you might try if you got stuck.
这种策略实际上 原本并不是那一叠卡片， 而是一个列表—— 列在录音工作室的墙上。 列表上写着当你创意枯竭的时候 你可以尝试做的事。
The list didn't work. Know why? Not messy enough. Your eye would go down the list and it would settle on whatever was the least disruptive, the least troublesome, which of course misses the point entirely.
而这个列表并不管用。知道为什么吗?因为还不够麻烦。你的眼睛会浏览一遍列表，然后你就会选择那个最不混乱的，最不麻烦的那条，这样当然就完全违背初衷了。
And what Brian Eno came to realize was, yes, we need to run the stupid experiments, we need to deal with the awkward strangers, we need to try to read the ugly fonts. These things help us. They help us solve problems, they help us be more creative.
然后布莱恩·伊诺就意识到，是的，我们需要进行这样愚蠢的实验，我们需要有尴尬的陌生人加入，我们需要试着去读一读难看的字体。这些都会帮助我们。它们可以帮我们解决问题，它们可以让我们变得更有创造力。
But also ... we really need some persuasion if we're going to accept this. So however we do it ...whether it's sheer willpower, whether it's the flip of a card or whether it's a guilt trip from a German teenager, all of us, from time to time, need to sit down and try and play the unplayable piano.
但是同样······ 我们需要一些“外部因素” 来让我们接受这样做。所以不管我们怎样做······ 不管是靠纯粹的意志力，还是靠抽出的那张卡片，还是碰见了一个德国青年内疚的经历，我们所有人，有时，都需要坐下来，试着弹弹那台弹不了的钢琴。
Thank you.(Applause)
谢谢。(掌声)

英语的演讲6
准备好演讲材料。
首先，对于一次英语演讲，一定要提前准备好演讲材料，可以收集大量的文献资料，完成演讲材料，一定要把自己想要表达的通过演讲材料很好地表现出来，一篇出色的演讲稿是完成出色演讲的关键。
勤奋的英语口语练习。
对于拟定好的英语演讲稿子，一定要在正式演讲之前，勤奋的练习稿子内容，熟悉每一个英语句子、每一个单词，把这些都要做好，对于英语稿子的整体发音要做到准确无误。
保持良好的状态。
在进行英语演讲的时候，一定要保持良好的状态，做到不紧张，轻松的对待整场的演讲，状态好了，整个演讲就会水到渠成，自然而然的发挥到淋漓尽致，这是完成一场出色的英语演讲的关键。
快速进入英语演讲状态。
在上台演讲时，利用好刚上台的几分钟，让自己的心情尽快的平静下来，脑海中的思路连贯起来，这样有利于自己快速的进入到演讲状态，必须全神贯注的进入到英语的演讲世界，那么舞台就是属于你的。
克服内心的压力。
相信每一个上台演讲的人内心或多或少都是有点压力的，一定要试着克服内心的压力，这样在演讲过程中就会少出差错，可以想象成自己一个人，其他人不存在，那么心情就会轻松很多啦。
必要的互动，情景交融。
英语演讲过程中，一定要适时的与听众进行互动，这是必要的，演讲过程中，面部表情以及手势都要做的合情合理，与演讲内容相符合，并能够辅助演讲内容，为演讲添精彩。
快速掌握英语演讲的窍门
1.Talk about what you know.
讲你所知。
如果可以的话，选择一个你熟悉和喜欢的话题，这样的话，你对这个话题的热情就会感染底下的观众，同时对于观众抛出的问题你也不会那么紧张。
2.Practice.
勤练习。
即便是出色的演讲者都会事先练习他们的演讲。用录音机或是摄像机将整个练习的过程记录下来，这样你就可以了解自己的表现从而发现哪些地方可以改进。如果你够勇敢的话，你也可以在朋友或是家人的面前练习，并向他们征求意见。
3.Visit the room.
事先熟悉演讲地点。
如果你可以提前进入你做演讲的地方，那就预先熟悉一下。安排好所有的视听设备并且练习你的站姿。
4.Tell someone about your anxiety.
向别人倾诉你的紧张感。
如果你即将在一所高中或是大学发表演讲，请提前约见你的老师或是教授，告诉他们你很紧张。
5.Visualize confidence.
假装很自信。
想象你自信汇成商学院地发表演讲。想象你没有焦虑感，你能很好地与观众互动。尽管现在对你来说，这可能只是个美好的画面，但是假想的力量其实是很强大的，它能让你变得真正自信。出色的运动员都使用这一技巧来提高个人的表现和竞争力。
英语演讲稿如何选材
演讲前，英语演讲稿的准备十分重要。如果是一般性英语演讲比赛，那么参考别人的英语演讲稿，或者摘抄美文美段都可以，此时，摘抄这样的演讲稿一般会配上一段音频，对初级的演讲者十分有用。
到了一个较高的层次，就需要你以自己的经历经验，自己完成一篇演讲稿。这时的演讲者口语、发音、断句已不成问题，因此我手写我心更能引起他人兴趣，也更容易表达。
接下来，便是选材的时候了。你决定要以哪种方式演讲并不影响你的选材，笔者认为，英语演讲选材最忌讳选一些晨读美文上的散文。这种散文有一种特性，断句较短，一段没几句就结束了。这种文章适合背记，却不适合演讲。
演讲题材最好以自己的经历或者一个小故事入手。因为评委观众的水平层次高低分层很大，此时的'开头一定要用词简单，文法也不易过杂，当然也不能只用类似只有主谓宾的句子。当人们能听懂时，他们才愿意听下去。
当然，文章的开头和结尾一定要吸引人。开头不妨用三四个排比的问句，以问句引出正文，最后结尾再用几个排比的陈述来说明自己的建议或看法。
笔者十分建议在演讲稿中出现排比形式，因为排比句读起来比较有气势，也更好把握语调。一般情况下，前几个逗号前的句子都是升调，最后一个句子用降调。
演讲中一定要注意断句和音调。没一个人喜欢听一段没有断句而且平淡无奇的演讲，因此，要做好演讲就因该将感情同语言联系起来，这样的演讲才有灵魂。
接下来就是一些演讲小技巧：演讲中一定要注意眼神交流，尤其和评委的眼神交流;不要怕忘词，忘词了也要继续背下去;身体要站直，要有肢体动作，但一定不要来回晃或者抖腿。
如何学习出色的英语演讲稿
在学习演讲稿之前，不能漏掉的一个环节就是背景才材料，也就是这个演讲稿所阐述话题后背景是什么，或是跟当今时代形式有关，或是跟历史发展有关，总之，一定要知道这演讲稿后的背景知识，学习背景知识有利于更好的理解演讲稿所阐述的主题和内容。
我们应该找一下出色的演讲稿，像一些英语学习网站或者软件上应该都有，我建议大家可以先打印出来几篇出色的演讲稿，先不用着急找那么多，慢慢的来学就好，世界上一些出色的演讲稿都是出自总统、首先或是有影响力的人物，而他们的演讲主题也属于高级领域，不要觉得这些领域跟我们没挂系，其实多学习这些，有助于提高我们思想的深度和思考问题的角度。
把演讲稿打印下来，就是先找原声音频听一下，看你能听出来多少，听不懂得也不用着急。接下来就是看着演讲稿把它读一遍，记得标注下不认识的单词和发音拿不准的单词，不要觉得麻烦，既是要学习出色的演讲稿，就把每一个单词先认会，保证你熟悉这些单词。
接下来就是精读，尽量找出演讲稿的中文翻译。精读演讲稿的时候发现有读不懂的句子或你不熟悉的句式标注下来，试着翻译一下，然后去对照中文，看看两种语言表达的差别。必须要把每个句子弄懂，知道是什么意思，这样也有利于之后的不背诵，不然连看都看不懂，就算背也只是死记硬背，然学习就没有什么意义了。
然后就是模仿，当然这个最好是模仿演讲人，模仿断句，语气，重读和弱读都应该去模仿。如果碰到自己特别喜欢得演讲稿，就要一定要背诵下来，以后甚至自己做演讲时还可以引用，也可以趁此提高自己的英语水平。
最后可以建议大家把这些演讲稿的好词，好句可以总结到把本子上，或者可以按你研习过的演讲稿归类，把属于同一个主题的单词，句子记到一起，这样当以后说起这个话题的时候，你也有词可用，有内容可说。希望大家根据自己的情况调整方法，因为这些并不一定完全是适合所有人。最后祝大家学业进步!
英语的演讲7
Ronald Reagan: Remarks at the Brandenburg GateThank you.
Thank you, very much.
Chancellor Kohl, Governing Mayor Diepgen, ladies and gentlemen: Twenty four years ago, President John F.
Kennedy visited Berlin, and speaking to the people of this city and the world at the city hall.
Well since then two other presidents have come, each in his turn to Berlin.
And today, I, myself, make my second visit to your city.We come to Berlin, we American Presidents, because its our duty to speak in this place of freedom.
But I must confess, we’re drawn here by other things as well; by the feeling of history in this city -- more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald and the Teirgarten; most of all, by your courage and determination.
Perhaps the composer, Paul Linke, understood something about American Presidents.
You see, like so many presidents before me, I come here today because wherever I go, whatever I do: “Ich hab noch einen hoffer in Berlin” [I still have a suitcase in Berlin.]Our gathering today is being broadcast throughout Western Europe and North America.om their air-raid shelters to find devastation.
Thousands of miles away, the people of the United States reached out to help.
And in 1947 Secretary of State -- as youve been told --George Marshall announced the creation of what would become known as the Marshall Plan.
Speaking precisely 40 years ago this month, he said: Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos.In the Reichstag a few moments ago, I saw a display commemorating this 40th anniversary of the Marshall Plan.
I was struck by the sign on a burnt-out, gutted structure that was being rebuilt.
I understand that Berliners of my own generation can remember seeing signs like it dotted throughout the western sectors of the city.
The sign read simply: The Marshall Plan is helping here to strengthen the free world.
A strong, free world in the West, that dream became real.
Japan rose from ruin to become an economic giant.
Adenauer, Erhard, Reuter, and other leaders understood the practical importance of liberty -- that just as truth can flourish only when the journalist is given freedom of speech, so prosperity can come about only when the farmer and businessman enjoy economic freedom.
From 1950 to 1960 alone, the standard of living in West Germany and Berlin doubled.Where four decades ago there was rubble, today in West Berlin there is the greatest industrial output of any city in Germany -- busy office blocks, fine homes and apartments, proud avenues, and the spreading lawns of parkland.
Where a citys culture seemed to have been destroyed, today there are two great universities, orchestras and an opera, countless theaters, and museums.
Where there was want, today theres abundance -- food, clothing, automobiles -- the wonderful goods of the Kudamm.
From devastation, from utter ruin, you Berliners have, in freedom, rebuilt a city that once again ranks as one of the greatest on earth.
The Soviets may have had other plans.
But my friends, there were a few things the Soviets didnt count on -- Berliner Herz, Berliner Humor, ja, und Berliner Schnauze.
[Berliner heart, Berliner humor, yes, and a Berliner Schnauze.**]In the 1950s -- In the 1950s Khrushchev predicted: We will bury you.
But in the West today, we see a free world that has achieved a level of prosperity and well-being unprecedented in all human history.
In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, *even want of the most basic kind -- too little food.
Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself.
After these four decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity.
Freedom replaces the ancient hatreds among the nations with comity and peace.
Freedom is the victor.*And now -- now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom.
We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness.
Some political prisoners have been released.
Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed.
Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control.*Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, *or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty -- the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.
General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate.
Mr.Gorbachev, open this gate.
Mr.Gorbachev -- Mr.Gorbachev, tear down this wall!I understand the fear of war and the pain of division that afflict this continent, and I pledge to you my countrys efforts to help overcome these burdens.
To be sure, we in the West must resist Soviet expansion.
So, we must maintain defenses of unassailable strength.
Yet we seek peace; so we must strive to reduce arms on both sides.
Beginning 10 years ago, the Soviets challenged the Western alliance with a grave new threat, hundreds of new and more deadly SS-20 nuclear missiles capable of striking every capital in Europe.
The Western alliance responded by committing itself to a counter-deployment (unless the Soviets agreed to negotiate a better solution) -- namely, the elimination of such weapons on both sides.
For many months, the Soviets refused to bargain in earnestness.
As the alliance, in turn, prepared to go forward with its counter-deployment, there were difficult days, days of protests like those during my 1982 visit to this city; and the Soviets later walked away from the table.But through it all, the alliance held firm.
And I invite those who protested then -- I invite those who protest today -- to mark this fact: Because we remained strong, the Soviets came back to the table.
Because we remained strong, today we have within reach the possibility, not merely of limiting the growth of arms, but of eliminating, for the first time, an entire class of nuclear weapons from the face of the earth.As I speak, NATO ministers are meeting in Iceland to review the progress of our proposals for eliminating these weapons.
At the talks in Geneva, we have also proposed deep cuts in strategic offensive weapons.
And the Western allies have likewise made far-reaching proposals to reduce the danger of conventional war and to place a total ban on chemical weapons.
While we pursue these arms reductions, I pledge to you that we will maintain the capacity to deter Soviet aggression at any level at which it might occur.
And in cooperation with many of our allies, the United States is pursuing the Strategic Defense Initiative -- research to base deterrence not on the threat of offensive retaliation, but on defenses that truly defend; on systems, in short, that will not target populations, but shield them.
By these means we seek to increase the safety of Europe and all the world.
But we must remember a crucial fact: East and West do not mistrust each other because we are armed; we are armed because we mistrust each other.
And our differences are not about weapons but about liberty.
When President Kennedy spoke at the City Hall those 24 years ago, freedom was encircled; Berlin was under siege.
And today, despite all the pressures upon this city, Berlin stands secure in its liberty.
And freedom itself is transforming the globe.In the Philippines, in South and Central America, democracy has been given a rebirth.
Throughout the Pacific, free markets are working miracle after miracle of economic growth.
In the industrialized nations, a technological revolution is taking place, a revolution marked by rapid, dramatic advances in computers and telecommunications.
In Europe, only one nation and those it controls refuse to join the community of freedom.
Yet in this age of redoubled economic growth, of information and innovation, the Soviet Union faces a choice: It must make fundamental changes, or it will become obsolete.Today thus represents a moment of hope.
We in the West stand ready to cooperate with the East to promote true openness, to break down barriers that separate people, to create a safer, freer world.
And surely there is no better place than Berlin, the meeting place of East and West, to make a start.
Free people of Berlin: Today, as in the past, the United States stands for the strict observance and full implementation of all parts of the Four Power Agreement of 1971.
Let us use this occasion, the 750th anniversary of this city, to usher in a new era, to seek a still fuller, richer life for the Berlin of the future.
Together, let us maintain and develop the ties between the Federal Republic and the Western sectors of Berlin, which is permitted by the 1971 agreement.
And I invite Mr.Gorbachev: Let us work to bring the Eastern and Western parts of the city closer together, so that all the inhabitants of all Berlin can enjoy the benefits that come with life in one of the great cities of the world.To open Berlin still further to all Europe, East and West, let us expand the vital air access to this city, finding ways of making commercial air service to Berlin more convenient, more comfortable, and more economical.
We look to the day when West Berlin can become one of the chief aviation hubs in all central Europe.
With -- with our French and British partners, the United States is prepared to help bring international meetings to Berlin.
It would be only fitting for Berlin to serve as the site of United Nations meetings, or world conferences on human rights and arms control or other issues that call for international cooperation.There is no better way to establish hope for the future than to enlighten young minds, and we would be honored to sponsor summer youth exchanges, cultural events, and other programs for young Berliners from the East.
Our French and British friends, Im certain, will do the same.
And its my hope that an authority can be found in East Berlin to sponsor visits from young people of the Western sectors.
One final proposal, one close to my heart: Sport represents a source of enjoyment and ennoblement, and you may have noted that the Republic of Korea -- South Korea -- has offered to permit certain events of the 1988 Olympics to take place in the North.
International sports competitions of all kinds could take place in both parts of this city.
And what better way to demonstrate to the world the openness of this city than to offer in some future year to hold the Olympic games here in Berlin, East and West.In these four decades, as I have said, you Berliners have built a great city.
Youve done so in spite of threats -- the Soviet attempts to impose the East-mark, the blockade.
Today the city thrives in spite of the challenges implicit in the very presence of this wall.
What keeps you here? Certainly theres a great deal to be said for your fortitude, for your defiant courage.
But I believe theres something deeper, something that involves Berlins whole look and feel and way of life -- not mere sentiment.
No one could live long in Berlin without being completely disabused of illusions.
Something, instead, that has seen the difficulties of life in Berlin but chose to accept them, that continues to build this good and proud city in contrast to a surrounding totalitarian presence, that refuses to release human energies or aspirations, something that speaks with a powerful voice of affirmation, that says yes to this city, yes to the future, yes to freedom.
In a word, I would submit that what keeps you in Berlin is love.Love both profound and abiding.
Perhaps this gets to the root of the matter, to the most fundamental distinction of all between East and West.
The totalitarian world produces backwardness because it does such violence to the spirit, thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship.
The totalitarian world finds even symbols of love and of worship an affront.
Years ago, before the East Germans began rebuilding their churches, they erected a secular structure: the television tower at Alexander Platz.
Virtually ever since, the authorities have been working to correct what they view as the towers one major flaw: treating the glass sphere at the top with paints and chemicals of every kind.
Yet even today when the sun strikes that sphere, that sphere that towers over all Berlin, the light makes the sign of the cross.
There in Berlin, like the city itself, symbols of love, symbols of worship, cannot be suppressed.
As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: This wall will fall.
Beliefs become reality.Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall, for it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand the truth.
The wall cannot withstand freedom.
And I would like, before I close, to say one word.
I have read, and I have been questioned since Ive been here about certain demonstrations against my coming.
And I would like to say just one thing, and to those who demonstrate so.
I wonder if they have ever asked themselves that if they should have the kind of government they apparently seek, no one would ever be able to do what theyre doing again.Thank you and God bless you all.
Thank you.

Love Letter——To one girl ，love is untrue， but to the other girl is unknown。
Dear tutor and classmates， it is my honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Friday afternoon to share with you my sentiments about the Movie——Love Latter。 This story is about a secret love found together by two girls， whom to my point of view， one gets the love but proved to be untrue， and the other gets the true love but unknown。 But to the indirect appeared hero ， male itsuki fujii， what a pity that he eventually can not get the responsive love。 The move attracts me because the male itsuki fujii does something for me that most of us have a secret love， pure， true but unspeakable。 At first， I think what Hiroko Watanabe does， trying to send the greeting letter to his late fiance is childish。 But the replying letter ‘I’m fine，and I only have a cold’ makes me as surprised as Hiroko Watanabe。 Maybe， only the ridiculous action can reveal the secret， though with some slight sadness。 Then， the movie presents us a complex structure of narrating the story。 Hiroko Watanabe’s insisting of writing letter indicates her total immersion in Male itsuki fujii’s love and her eager to know his everything。 One the other hand， Female itsuki Fujii realizes the truth that Male itsuki fujii loves her in the total middle school times by recalling the past。 One girl loses Male itsuki fujii’s love in the process of knowing his past， but the other girl finds out the truth to had been loved unknown。 What a tragedy！ I barely face the story。 A idea suddenly strikes me，’Love me little and love me long。’
In the last of the movie， Female itsuki Fujii shouted again and again towards the snow—covered mountains male itsuki fujii ever crashed， ‘Mr。 itsuki fujii ， how are you doing？ I miss you—— I miss you——I miss you。’ In the meantime， the remote Female itsuki Fujii with serious sickness seems to receive the shouting。 I think this kind of response is a happy relief to Hiroko Watanabe， a pleasant memory to Female itsuki Fujii and the true emotion that two girls convey to male itsuki fujii。
The secret love is waiting for the girl to find。Even if she finds nothing， she loses nothing。 Thanks for your listening。

The topic of my speech is Young man should have a great ambition and be quick in action.
我今天演讲的题目是鸿于志、敏于行。
Everybody knows that it’s important for a company,a team ,a person to have a great ambition,which can give us power and lead us to make a target.
每个人都知道设立一个远大的志向对于一个公司、一只球队甚至是个人来说，都是非常重要的，它能振奋人心并指引我们实现目标。
unfortunately,most people are the giants of thought and the dwarfs of action. Why?
不幸的是，大多数人都是思想的巨人，行动的矮子。为什么会这样？
Because it’s easily to make a decision but hard to put it into practice.
因为"想去做"只是一念之间的事，落实它却很难。
Do you remember all those years when you said again and again that you could lose weight but finally failed?
还记得那些年你们一遍又一遍地吵着要减肥却最终又失败的时候嘛？
I have no time to do exercise!My boyfriend don’t supervise me!I’m so hungry that I have no energy to run!
我没时间锻炼！我男朋友没有监督我！太饿了，人家吃饱了才有力气减肥嘛！
Liar!WuZhengQi did it,right?
骗子，人家吴峥琦就成功了，不是么？
Actually,what you need to do is just wash the first dish.
其实，你要做的.的只是从"洗第一个盘子"开始（踏出第一步）。
The main point of washing dishes theory is that if you start to wash the first dish in the kitchen,you can finish the rest of them. Every dish is the first one.
"洗盘子"理论主要意思就是，当你洗完厨房内第一个盘子时，你就能洗完剩下所有的盘子——剩下的都是"第一个盘子".
When I came to the new group,I knew that the Internet would be the main form of service industry.
当我来到我们组时，我明白了互联网将会是服务行业的主流方向。
But I didn’t know much about the internet,except that it changes constantly.
但是，除了变幻莫测以外，我对互联网其实并不了解。
So I had no choice but to learn many things about Internet.
所以我不得不去学习互联网的相关知识。
I read 3 books in two months,which are Wechat Marketing And Operation,The Sense Of Participation ,and The Adweek Copyright Handbook.
最近两个月，我看了3本相关的书，《微信营销与运营》、《参与感》、《文案训练手册》。
Even though I just wash 3 dishes,I am on the road of expedition,right?
虽然只有三本，但至少已经开始了，不是吗？

Life is a box of chocolateyou never know what you will get. Forrest Gump made no decision by and for himself but he accomplished great success with his strong will in the process. The process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings the caution courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. Take myself as an example I changed my major when I became a postgraduate. After the choicedays have been harsh for me.I cannot understand the new lessons at all. For they are closely related to mathmatics which I learned nothing about before. However wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myselfI persisted. I asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life. Gradually I could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.Moreover I learned to act instead of complaining. In retrospectthe choice left no trace in my mind but the happiness and bitterness of the past four months becomes an unforgetable experience in my life.
英语的演讲13
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good afternoon!
My name is David.I e from Jiangsu Province.Right now I start my ownbusiness in Yiwu city.Today I am very happy to have a chance to share the topicwith all of you.My topic is “cherish what you have right now”.Before my topic ,I would like to tell you a story.
Long long time ago there was a big mountain. In the mountain there was atemple. In the temple there were two monks. One is an old monk, the other is ayoung monk. One day the old said to the young: “You can go outside of themountain to travel around and experience the life of mon people.But you arerequired to e back after 10 years.” The young nodded. He left the mountain andtraveled. Ten years later,he came back at last.The old monk asked him aquestion: “what have you learned in the past ten years?” The young answered: “In the past 10 years I have e to know that the most important thing is what Ihave lost and what I haven’t got.” The old smiled and said nothing.Time passedquickly. One year later, the old said to the young again: “You can travel aroundagain for another 10 years”. The young followed it. Another 10 years later, theyoung returned.The time the old monk asked him the same question: “What have youlearned in the past 10 years?” The young kept silent for while and said: “In the world the most important thing is not what I havelost and not what I haven’t got but what I have right now.Just cherish it.”
So much for the story. But the answer in the story is very instructive.Sometimes it makes me think a lot. “Just cherish what you have right now.” It isa very good idea.But maybe you have the question: What is “cherish”? Could youtell me the detail meaning? Ok! I tell you the answer. Cherish means just tokeep it ,to hold it , to love it and to protect it.For example, you have a nicepopular and fashion IPhone, just cherish it means to keep it well ,to hold itwell, love it well and protect it well.Understand? I see. You got it.OK! Rightnow I have a question for you: What do you have right now? Maybe you will say “Ihave a lot of money.” maybe you will say : “ I have a big house” maybe he willsay：“I have a rich car” Maybe she will say: “I have a smart boy friend.” Maybe,maybe ,maybe ,maybe there are lots of maybes.Maybe different people havedifferent answer for it.But it doesn’t matter. No matter whatever your answeris, just cherish it.Cherish what you have right now.Cherish your parents,especially when they bee older andolder,give more love to them. Otheriwse you will have more regrets.Cherish yourfamily members,especially your children.Try your best to spare and spend moretime to be with them.Otherwise,you don't have chance to regret it.Cherish yourfriends,especially when they are in trouble. Spare no efforts to help themout.Otherwise your friends will go away from you oneday.Cherish,cherish,cherish.As long as you cherish what you have right.

英语的演讲15
当我穿上这件扎拉连衣裙时，我发现它的标签上写着"设计在西班牙。越南制造。"现在它在中国市场随处可见。扎拉是各种时尚品牌中最快的。优势来自于全球化，从原材料到劳动力，从仓库到运输，需要扎拉只需要12到15天就能把素描纸上的设计变成衣服架子。
全球化消除了许多障碍，使世界变得平坦。因为它在1990年代获得了势头。但是最近它似乎又回来了美国的唐纳德特朗普和法国的马林勒庞。舆论被他们的主张误导了，他们认为从全球化中退缩，解决困扰世界上许多人的两个最紧迫问题的灵丹妙药西部——就业和难民。但是我们能相信这个故事吗？
退出（TowardPeakPerformance）接近峰值性能似乎是一种可以让工厂从以便创造新的就业机会，从而减少失业费率降低。然而，产品的.成本也会提高，因为在家的劳动力和原材料的运输更加昂贵，在家庭支出方面对所有家庭造成更大的压力。人们可能设法找到新工作，但生活水平没有提高。这是一个反全球化的政治家永远不会告诉世界的故事。
选民。除了就业问题外，难民的涌入也触动了高度敏感的神经。拒绝寻求庇护者可能会促进国内短期内安全，但它践踏了平等重要-人道主义和责任。难民，如来自叙利亚不是天生的难民；他们因战争而沦为难民他们的家园和国家。因此，真正的解决办法不是孤立，而是全球化啊
tion because globalization promotes interdependence among nationswhereby conflicts and wars are more likely to be prevented.
Yes, there are defects in globalization, such as environmentaldeterioration, polarization between the rich and the poor, and exploitation ofworkers, to name just a few. But what we need to do is not putting an end to itbut putting it right. As the second largest economy of the world, China shouldhold a lead. We should promote global governance fight against contamination. Weshould strike a balance between efficiency and equity so that differentcountries, different social classes and different groups of people can all enjoythe benefits of globalization.
Globalization has just stepped into its twenties, pretty much like us youngadults. Every twenty something is so energetic, striding to achieve more andsurely deserving a second chance to pull back from the deviation. As weconsumers are enjoying benefits and convenience brought by ZARA and otherinternational brands, we see clearer that the question now is not whether toaccept or reject globalization but how to make it fairer, cleaner and a win-winfor all.
