ted中文演讲稿 篇2

毛遂在平原君门下三年，一直默默无闻，总得不到施展才能的机会。

一次，秦国大举进攻赵国，情况危急。赵王派平原君向楚国求救。平原君决定挑选出20名足智多谋的人随同前往，可是只有19人合乎条件。这时，毛遂主动站了出来说：“我愿随平原君前往楚国。”

平原君一开始不以为然：“一个有才能的人在世上，就好像锥子装在口袋里，锥尖子很快就会穿破口袋钻出来，人们很快就能发现他。而你一直未能出头露面显示你的本事，我怎么能够带上没有本事的人同我去楚国行使如此重大的使命呢？”

毛遂并不生气，他心平气和地据理力争说：“我之所以没有像锥子从口袋里钻出锥尖，是因为我从来就没有像锥子一样放进您的口袋里呀。”平原君便答应毛遂作为自己的随从，连夜赶往楚国。

平原君到了楚国，可是这次商谈很不顺利。只有毛遂面对楚王，慷慨陈词，对楚王晓之以理动之以情。楚王终于被说服了，与平原君缔结盟约。赵国于是解围。

事后，平原君说：“毛遂原来真是了不起的人啊！他的三寸不烂之舌，真抵得过百万大军呀！可是以前我竟没发现他。若不是毛先生挺身而出，我可要埋没一个人才呢！”

不要总是等着别人去推荐，只要有才干，不妨自己主动站出来，做出自己应有的贡献。

经典TED英语演讲稿 篇3

In 20xx — 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.

ted中英文演讲稿 篇4

There is a wisdom called to let go, there is a kind of learning is called choice, there is a kind of victory is called a successful selection and composition of 500 15 choice and successful composition 500 words article 15. Some give up, choose more suitable for their goals, may success closer.

Materials thinkers in stork say; "The ability of survival needs more than one! Rabbit cannot learn swimming in school make hole, squirrel learn swimming in school to climb trees!" I think this is right. The swimming may really not suitable for a rabbit if give up swimming, choose to make hole maybe it could be a hole experts; Pine swim, climb a tree, I believe it will do very well.

Ancient find today, up and down five thousand years, nine miles, how many great experience of success is not to give up, to choose process. Tao yuanming abandoned him, not for the bureau count, chose seclusion, will become the place in landscape pastoral poet; Lin xiangru's abandoned their own self-interest, chose the interests of the country, and become a much-told tale; Su Wu give up splendor, chose to remain national moral integrity, so he never go down in history; Romantic poet li bai gave up at the king's officer, chose the grizzled troubadour, then write a lot of historic tion, became the "god"。

简短的ted演讲稿 篇5

下面由好范文网的作者为你提供简短的ted演讲稿的写法。

同学们好：

我始终相信任何一个人想要改变自己的人生，想要改变自己的命运，最佳的法宝或者说最好的力量，就是去进行奋斗，我相信在座的各位同学坐在这儿也是来吸取这种力量。

我们每一个人出生都不一样，曾经年轻的时候，抱怨自己生长在一个贫困家庭。曾经年轻的时候抱怨过自己的父母，什么也不能给我。混遍北大整整七年，没有一个女人爱上我的时候，我发现我的很多同学都已经谈了好几次恋爱。有的同学已经娶上了美丽的女人，成立了美好的家庭。当我发现至少每个同学都拥有一个健康身体的时候，我在大学三年级的时候得了肺结核。发现好像所有的生活黑暗和不如意都集中在你一个人身上，幸亏在这样的过程中间我始终没有放弃自己身上唯一的力量，这个力量就是我觉得只要努力，只要奋斗，只要给我足够的时间，我应该能够改变自己的命运，我应该能够让自己的生活变得更好。而这种感觉来自于什么地方呢，就是来自于我从小在农村的那种生活，来自于我自己高考的启示，因为对于我来说，农村孩子长大唯一可能的归宿就是在农村。

我十四岁初中毕业，紧接着命运就对我做出了宣判，当时中国有一个政策，叫做贫下中农子女，一家只能有一个上高中，我姐上了高中，因此就轮不到我。所以其实我在十四岁的时候就认认真真地当过一回农民，在那个时候我就料定了自己这辈子大概只能在农村待着了。但是，老天给了我一个非常好的机会，这个机会就是“四人帮”粉碎以后，教育政策立刻就改变了。我们的初中老师想起了我，说俞敏洪是一直喜欢读书的人，我们是不是可以把他破例地重新放到高中里面来。我妈听说我这个事情以后就非常地兴奋，就找公社大队的领导和学校的校长去不断地说，说我儿子就是可以来的，所以我这辈子我最感激的就是我妈。这就是我的第一次机会，这个不是我奋斗来的，是党和国家给我的。高中毕业的时候，其实整个班全是农民，因为我们就是农村中学，几乎没有一个人会有信心说能考上大学，但是这个时候我碰上了一个好老师。这个老师现在还在南京，已经八十岁了，他在我们复习高考的时候，高二的时候就对我们说了一句话，他说我知道你们在座的小子没有一个能考上大学的`，你们以后一定都是农民，但是我依然要求你们每一个人都去考大学，因为当你们以后回到农村，在田头劳动的时候，当你拄着锄头仰望蓝天，叹息自己命运悲哀的时候，你会想起来，你曾经为了改变自己的命运而奋斗过一次。这句话，我到今天还能记得，大家想想这个印象多深，所以我就认定了自己一定要考大学，第二是我认定了一定要让这个老师失望一次。但这只是一次美好的愿望，我高考第一年出来以后，英语分数只考了33分，尽管当年这个录取的英语分数线也不高，最低大专录取分数线就是我们江苏有一个地区师范学院，只有40分，但是我只考了33分，差了7分，那么我就想，如果我再努力一年，我也许就超过40分了，也许我就进这个大专去了，所以我就边干农活边复习。当时农村连电灯都还没有，在煤油灯底下复习，我就是在高考复习的第二年眼睛近视了，所以第二年去高考的时候考出来，考了55分，我拿到这个分数就特别高兴，为什么呢，我想录取分数线是40分，我是55分，那么我无论如何能够进那个师范学院了。结果分数线下来以后，师范学院的分数线提到了60分，结果又差了5分。高考两次失败以后反而让我增加了信心，我就觉得我非要考第三年不可，所以我就跟我母亲说，第三年我无论如何不干农活，就是说一定要每天，所有的时间都交给我，但是我母亲就说我再给你一年时间，但是我们家确实很穷，所以第三年如果你再考不上的话，你就只能是老老实实回来当农民。所以我第三年就拼命了，每天早上六点起来，晚上十二点睡觉，到第三年参加高考的时候，成绩一出来我就发现我的成绩超过了北京大学的录取分数线，所以后来就有幸跟撒贝宁这样的名人成了校友。其实北京大学这四个字在我脑袋中连闪都没闪过，所以这个例子给同学们又一个启示。什么启示呢？人是要有梦想的，但是你梦想再大，你不去努力是不管用的，就像你爬山的时候，就算你不看那个山头，你只要知道自己在向上爬，只要你爬的路是对的，你到达山头只是一个时间问题。所以，回想我自己的生命，我觉得往往是我生活中带来的一些失败，最后促使我反弹起来，又够着了一个新的目标。

我后来在八十年代末的时候想要出国去读书，但是我联系几十个大学，十几个大学给我发录取通知书，没有一个大学给我发奖学金，都说你只能自己出钱了，而当时我在北大的工资，连奖金带基本工资加起来大概一个月二百块钱，换成美元，三十美元左右。美国的最低学费一个大学大概三万美金，还不算你的生活费，我算了一下，一百年不吃不喝都不够。所以我就想到了我应该要赚更多的钱，怎么赚更多的钱呢？人有了需求就会有想法，有了想法就会有创新。当时刚好中国的外语培训业已经开始轰轰烈烈地起来了，所以我就想我为什么不自己办一个培训班呢？所以就有了新东方。新东方完全不是我理想的产物，有人说俞老师你做新东方，是不是想到了你要为中国教育要做贡献，我想到的就是我要钱。但是今天的我，倒真的实实在在想要为中国的培训事业，和中国的教育做点事情了。为什么？因为你有了这样的实力，你有了这样力量，你有了这样的基础，那自然你就会做，所以我们不用去想太多。很多你没有想到的事情可能会做到，那 我们永远不可能说我们站在这个舞台的中央，你就坐着，天上就掉下馅饼来，永远不可能！这个世界上有偶然的运气，有必然的运气，如果你把偶然的运气当做必然的运气，你的生命就会越来越差。但是一个人可以追求必然的运气，什么叫必然的运气，必然运气就是通过自己的努力，踏踏实实地使自己达到了某一个状态，达到了某一个境界，用你这个状态，用你这个境界，用你这个身价去换取你所需要的东西，二十五年前的我在北大拿一百多块钱的工资，这就是我的身价。十五年前的我在新东方我能挣的钱也就是勉强能够养活自己，但是今天的我已经算是中国的在美国比较好的上市公司的老总之一，这个东西是我自己通过努力得来的，所以就不太容易被人剥夺，这个东西是我自己努力得来的，所以我得到了心安理得。这个东西是我努力得来的，所以我更加相信努力的力量，为我自己的后半辈子，我还会去持续不断地继续努力，这就是一个正向的，积极心态的循环。比如说现在的小年轻，我常常觉得很痛苦，为什么呢？第一个，虚荣心特别地强，虚荣心强他关注的什么呢？他关注的不是自己生活的状态，他关注的是周边人跟自己的比较以后，我能不能胜过周边人。比如说中国人结婚以后，中国的女人比自己的丈夫，比的最多的就是你看你看，你的同学怎么怎么样了。你看你看，隔壁的老张怎么样了，完了以后你看你这个窝囊废，到现在还这个样子。她从来不去想这个丈夫本身的好处在什么地方，他的优缺点在什么地方，她是通过个人比较，而比较的标准又特别地庸俗，不是比较对方更有钱，就是比较对方地位更高了。隔壁老张都升了局长了，你这窝囊废，你跟他是同班同学，你现在还是个处长，你看你怎么活的，还不如我嫁给老张算了，好面子就变成了一个人奋斗的动力，而不是说真正的追求幸福的这个心态去变成自己奋斗的动力，所以现在比如说很多年轻人都是贷款，买房买车，完了变成了房奴和车奴，完了生活就被毁掉了。为什么呢？因为你在年纪轻轻的时候就背上了负担以后，你有了一份工作你就不敢扔了，(被)锁在一份工作上当然很好，表面上你很专注，但是另外一个方向就是，你失去了一切让自己的生命可以在其它方向腾飞的机会。我当初之所以敢从北大出来，当初我自信地从北大出来，很简单，我没房没车，北大给我安排的当时的宿舍就是十平米的宿舍，我想这十平米的宿舍不住也罢。所以出来，天地都在我身边，就这种感觉，所以你不怕丢。一个人要不怕丢，因为你怕丢什么东西都不可能得到，你想谈恋爱你就可能失恋了。你想找工作你就可能会失业了。你要想高兴就可能会失落。你想创业你就可能会失败，所以失可能比你得还要更加地重要。

至于说我们的家庭背景，我在大学演讲的时候会遇到很多学生来跟我讨论问题，有同学说俞老师你看，你看我的同学，他们拥有无数的社会资源，现在社会资源越来越集中，完了像我们这样穷人家来的孩子，我们已经争取不到这个机会，这个世界是如此地不公平，我们这些人该怎么办？这个世界从来就没有公平过，即使你到美国，也不可能有这样的公平，但是中国其实还有另外一个好处，中国从来没有社会，真正的社会阶层等级概念。你从一个最普通的老百姓，只要你愿意奋斗出来，你就会被人一视同仁。所以尽管我们会发现周围有资源的人会比你更早地拥有资源，但是人生不是百米赛跑，让他们先得到好了，你给自己一辈子，这个自信人生二百年，会当击水三千里，我们也许活不到二百年，但是一百年总可以吧。所以在我大学毕业的时候，全班同学毕业典礼上，大家每个人都要上去表态，我上去说的我到今天还依依稀稀记得。我说同学们大家都很厉害，你们的学习成绩都那么好，但是请大家相信我不会放弃自己，你们做了五年的事情，我做十年，你们做十年的我做二十年，你们做二十年的我做四十年，实在不行，这辈子我要保持健康心态，保持心情愉快，身体健康，到了八十岁以后，把你们一个一个送走了，我再走。

其实人生奋斗没法比，每个人都有自己的事业，每个人都有自己的人生，最重要的什么呢？你跟自己比，就你跟自己比，你的今天是不是比昨天好，你的明天是不是比今天好，你的明年会不会比今年好，十年以后的你会不会比十年前站在这的今天的你要更好。还有的同学很有意思来问我说俞老师你看，我这个长相不怎么样，也影响了我的事业发展。比如说我去求职面试的时候，人家老板一看我长得这副挫样，他就不要我了。我说你敢这么说，说明你内心还是有点自信的，所以人是什么呢，人在三十岁以前长相可能是有一定的关系的。女孩子就算你再漂亮，过了三十岁你还能说老娘长得很妖娆吗？这感觉不对吧？就是说人是要有一点外表上的干净利落的感觉，但是到此为止了。一个男人天天在镜子面前花半个小时打扮自己，我真看到过这样的男人，半个小时都不止，我觉得男人连镜子都不应该照的。你要知道，你这么好的时间你不用在让自己的生命变得更加有魅力上面，有什么用呢？你再打扮，你能不老吗？你再打扮到年纪大了，你能皱纹不上脸吗？当你皱纹上脸的（时候），皱纹中透露出的是庸俗还是透露的是智慧，这全是你现在要做的事情，所以同学们长相跟你没关系。有一次一个小男孩，我在演讲的时候跑上来，很矮。他说俞老师，我这样一个人，在男人堆里找不到自己，在女人堆里我也找不到自己，实在太矮了，他说你看我这辈子怎么办？我说，你知道鲁迅多高吗？1米58。你知道邓小平多高吗？1米57。你知道拿破仑多高吗？1米56。我说你多高，他说我1米55，我说你知道你应该变成什么样的人了吧。

人生是自己的选择，你要把自己变成的是一个能够不是对得起自己长相，而是对得起自己的内心，对得起自己的能力的人，应该是这样去做的。所以同学们，大家一起共同努力，只要你自己相信，奋斗能让你改变自己，你的生命一定会越来越灿烂，我的演讲到此为止，谢谢大家！

昨天，我们有一个讨论。主题就是“我的梦想是什么？”每个人都有他的梦想。有些人想成为老师，其他人想成为科学家。我的梦想是成为一名医生。

我的朋友问我为什么。我跟他们说了个故事。当我还是一个小男孩的时候，我的身体非常虚弱。有次，我生了一场很严重的病。我发着高烧。我的父母把我送到医院，但医生们不能为我做什么。那时，我的父母听闻在其他镇上，有位名医。他们马上把我带到那儿。（然后）我得救了。

一个好医生可以拯救一个人的生命。从此，我决定要成为一名医生。我知道做医生不容易。但是，我决定努力学习。我相信自己的梦想会实现。

经典TED英语演讲稿 篇7

Do you think it's possible to control someone's attention? Even more than that, what about predicting human behavior? I think those are interesting ideas, if you could. I mean, for me, that would be the perfect superpower, actually kind of an evil way of approaching it. But for myself, in the past, I've spent the last 20 years studying human behavior from a rather unorthodox way: picking pockets. When we think of misdirection, we think of something as looking off to the side, when actually it's often the things that are right in front of us that are the hardest things to see, the things that you look at every day that you're blinded to.

For example, how many of you still have your cell phones on you right now? Great. Double-check. Make sure you still have them on you. I was doing some shopping beforehand. Now you've looked at them probably a few times today, but I'm going to ask you a question about them. Without looking at your cell phone directly yet, can you remember the icon in the bottom right corner? Bring them out, check, and see how accurate you were. How'd you do? Show of hands. Did we get it?

Now that you're done looking at those, close them down, because every phone has something in common. No matter how you organize the icons, you still have a clock on the front. So, without looking at your phone, what time was it? You just looked at your clock, right? It's an interesting idea. Now, I'll ask you to take that a step further with a game of trust. Close your eyes. I realize I'm asking you to do that while you just heard there's a pickpocket in the room, but close your eyes.

Now, you've been watching me for about 30 seconds. With your eyes closed, what am I wearing? Make your best guess. What color is my shirt? What color is my tie? Now open your eyes. By a show of hands, were you right?

It's interesting, isn't it? Some of us are a little bit more perceptive than others. It seems that way. But I have a different theory about that, that model of attention. They have fancy models of attention, Posner's trinity model of attention. For me, I like to think of it very simple, like a surveillance system. It's kind of like you have all these fancy sensors, and inside your brain is a little security guard. For me, I like to call him Frank. So Frank is sitting at a desk. He's got all sorts of cool information in front of him, high-tech equipment, he's got cameras, he's got a little phone that he can pick up, listen to the ears, all these senses, all these perceptions. But attention is what steers your perceptions, is what controls your reality. It's the gateway to the mind. If you don't attend to something, you can't be aware of it. But ironically, you can attend to something without being aware of it. That's why there's the cocktail effect: When you're in a party, you're having conversations with someone, and yet you can recognize your name and you didn't even realize you were listening to that.

Now, for my job, I have to play with techniques to exploit this, to play with your attention as a limited resource. So if I could control how you spend your attention, if I could maybe steal your attention through a distraction. Now, instead of doing it like misdirection and throwing it off to the side, instead, what I choose to focus on is Frank, to be able to play with the Frank inside your head, your little security guard, and get you, instead of focusing on your external senses, just to go internal for a second. So if I ask you to access a memory, like, what is that? What just happened? Do you have a wallet? Do you have an American Express in your wallet? And when I do that, your Frank turns around. He accesses the file. He has to rewind the tape. And what's interesting is, he can't rewind the tape at the same time that he's trying to process new data.

Now, I mean, this sounds like a good theory, but I could talk for a long time and tell you lots of things, and they may be true, a portion of them, but I think it's better if I tried to show that to you here live. So if I come down, I'm going to do a little bit of shopping. Just hold still where you are.

Hello, how are you? It's lovely to see you. You did a wonderful job onstage. You have a lovely watch that doesn't come off very well. Do you have your ring as well? Good. Just taking inventory. You're like a buffet. It's hard to tell where to start, there's so many great things.

Hi, how are you? Good to see you.

Hi, sir, could you stand up for me, please? Just right where you are. Oh, you're married. You follow directions well. That's nice to meet you, sir. You don't have a whole lot inside your pockets. Anything down by the pocket over here? Hopefully so. Have a seat. There you go. You're doing well.

经典TED英语演讲稿 篇8

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 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。

(Applause)

ted演讲稿 篇9

大家好！我今天演讲的题目是《青春》。

青春如行云流水，淌指而过，抓不住也握不稳，因此青春也显得格外珍贵，容不得半点浪费，但亲爱的朋友，请不必感叹青春的柔弱易逝，她是如此富有生机与精彩。她能够支持你站稳岗位，负好己责，拼搏出你要的生活。那么正值青春的我们，就应该乘青春正值旺季，草长莺飞之时，怀揣着激情，勇敢的面对生活，燃放自己，用流逝的青春去换一个我们要的明天。

还记得刚来到大学的日子吗？想起来，不远，仿似昨天，可细细想下来，又觉得是好远，好像已经是好远的好久以前了。回味这一路走来，有高考后自己汗水没有白流的欣慰，有考入大学时的兴奋，有离开家遇见她们的悸动。当然，也有过难过与失意，或者悲伤和失落，因为学校的小道没有林荫，食堂大妈的手艺不合我们的胃口，教室桌椅的坐着不舒服等等。可是随着我们携手上课下课，吃饭玩耍，开开玩笑间，多出来的胡茬也悄悄的留下了岁月的痕迹的两年里，逝去的青春，我们渐渐熟悉，拥有了熟悉的笑脸，亲切的言语，可以曰人，可以曰家，可以曰天下。慢慢的那些细小的不满与失意也尽然被图书馆里的书香掩盖，翻阅一页页间，学习充满了我们青春的每一个角落。看似如此简单，琐碎，却也无不在努力勾勒出我们多姿多彩的青春。

此时，那些流年里的光景也忽隐忽现得很好看。原来拥有青春的我们是如此富有，因为年轻，就有资本，我们用来投资明天，投资下一个属于美好的自己。想着梦想，践行着一步两步，越走越远。放弃了叫嚣，学会了低头。放低了身段，学会了静修。看清自己要走的道路，研修我们要有的专业。装几本书，压压包，穿行于向左向右的知识之路，紧紧的身影，只因追求学海的博大。握几只笔，弯弯手，画摆于朝里朝外的锦绣蓝图，沙沙的响声，只为设计美好的明天。没有花前月下的甜蜜，也不羡慕牡丹花下的香醉，尽管单调，但却不会在等到将来有一天，青春一到用时方恨曾经虚度。我们青春，我们简单，我们过季时间，纯酿出自己的舞酒。

亲爱的朋友们，不可否认我们都迷茫过。因为这因为那，放纵过、难过过、冲突过、生气过、莫名过，可是在每一个夜晚过后，新的一天又如约而至，又有一天的时间来改变改善，那么我们还有什么理由继续生气、放纵…以至于浪费我们如此珍贵的青春。青春是短暂的，但是就是再短暂的时光也没有借口在我们的生命里虚度。我们要尽青春之力，负生命之责，付出自己，馈赠给予，收获人生财富，留着在以后的岁月给我们成长和成熟提供一个契机。那么同学，如果你还在迷茫，抛弃迷茫吧，把握人生的航向，牢记勤字当头，不懈摇桨，搏击涛海大浪，泛舟人生。用我们的青春和生命奏响时代的强音，用我们的聪明和勇气扬起理想的风帆，打开成功的阀门，让美好的下一刻顺流而来，绘画出人生精彩的篇章。

我的演讲完了，谢谢！

ted英语演讲稿 篇10

As you slowly open your eyes,look around,notice where the light comes intoyour room; listen carefully,see if there are new sounds you can recognize; feelwith 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!Andmost importantly,it’s a new beginning for your life,a beginning where you aregoing to make new decisions,take new actions,make new friends,and take your lifeto a totally unprecedented(空前的) level.

In your mind’s eye,you can see clearly the things you want to have,thepaces you intend to go,the relationships you desire to develop,and the positionsyou aspire(励志) to reach.

You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everythinghappens as you dream.You can see the smiles on the people around you when themagic moment strikes.You can feel your face is getting red,your heart is beatingfast,and your blood is rushing all over your body,to every single corner of yourbeing!

You know all this is real as long as you are confident,passionate andcommitted!(效忠的) And you are confident,you are passionate,you are committed!

You will no longer fear making new sounds,showing new facialexpressions,using your body in new ways,approaching new people,and asking newquestions.

You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion,and youwill 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 yourlife.You will never succumb(屈服，屈从) to challenges of hardships.

You will never waver(动摇) in your pursuit of excellence.After all,you arethe best,and you deserve the best!

As your coach and friend,I can assure you the door to all the best thingsin the world will open to you,but the key to that door is in your hand.You mustdo your part.You must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actionsyou plan; you must never quit and you must never fear.I know you must do it,youcan do it,you will do it,and you will succeed!Now stand firm and tall,make afist,get excited,and yell it out:

I must do it!I can do it!I will do it!I will succeed!

当你慢慢睁开眼睛，环顾四周，注意到光线进入你的房间；仔细聆听，看看是否有新的声音你能认出；感受你的身体和精神，看看你是否能感觉到新鲜的空气。

是的，是的，这是一个新的一天，它是不同的一天，它是明亮的一天！最重要的是，它是你生命的新的开始，一个你要做出新的决定，采取新的行动，交新的朋友，将你的生活带到一个前所未有的(空前的)水平。

在你的脑海里，你能清晰地看到你想要的东西，你打算去的地方，你渴望发展的关系，渴望你的立场(励志)达到。

你能听到你的笑声的欢乐和幸福的日子你梦想的一切发生。你可以在这神奇的时刻到来时看到你周围的人微笑，你能感到你的脸变红，你的心跳的很快，你的血液在你的身体，对你的存在每一个角落！

你知道所有这一切都是真实的，只要你有信心，热情和坚定！(效忠的)你有信心，你是热情的，你承诺！

你将不再害怕发出新的声音，展示新的面部表情，用你的身体以新的方式，接近新的人，并提出新的问题。

你将生活的每一天都充满着绝对的激情，你会用你所说的话和你所采取的行动表现出你的激情。

你会把时间和精力都集中在你生命中最重要的目标，你将永远不会屈服于(屈服，屈从)对困难的挑战。

你不会动摇(动摇)在你追求卓越。毕竟，你是最好的，你应该得到最好的！

作为你的教练和朋友，我可以向你保证，世界上一切美好的事物都会向你敞开大门，但关键是你必须做你的事，你必须忠实地遵循你制定的计划，并采取行动，你必须永不放弃，你必须这样做，你可以做到，你将成功！现在，坚定地站起来，做一个拳头，兴奋起来，并且大声喊出来：

我必须这样做！我可以做它！我会做的！我会成功！
