Sometimes, what makes us relaxed and leaves us with a lighter feeling is enjoying the freedom of dreaming about good things. We can freely think of things that would do our lives more good than harm. We hope these things will happen in our lives some day.
Sometimes, what makes us relaxed and leaves us with a lighter feeling is enjoying the freedom of dreaming about good things. We can freely think of things that would do our lives more good than harm. We hope these things will happen in our lives some day.
To me, a dream is a picture of the place where we want to find ourselves some day. A dream is like a design of how we want things to look by the time we get there.
Dreaming keeps us in motion; it keeps us going.

Good afternoon ，ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with ,I want to ask a question .Does everybody dream a good dream last night? Actually ,today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.
Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. With the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer confused.With the dream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.
But I know，life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .
Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing is impossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If
I can't realize my dream,it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find other excuses. If no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right. If you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here, you can become the god and create the truth.
"My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time in the past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Each achievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder."
In some extent, the dream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something, the victory will come.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's--- move ----out!
Thank you for your listening!

it’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world， change ourselves.
it’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day， while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ，because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.
frankly speaking， i don’t quite agree with ed， we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. （examples） why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture.
there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand， some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful， such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand，the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend，chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.
with the further development of the whole world， the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations， but we are the citizens of the same world， so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture？ the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us.
at last i’d like to share a famouse saying of gandhi with all of you ，that is：if you want to change the world， then you must change yourself first.”

Good morning dear young fellows from suntrans,
Today is my two months and two days celebration of working in suntrans. This is my first job, and I am very glad tohave it, and to stand here sharing my feelings with all of you.
Today my topic is a little bit long, it is,the happy days of my dear little young fellows and me spent together in our companySuntrans. We had numerous happy days together, and every day is memorable. Itis so long that if I share every moment with you, this meeting may last three days or even longer. So in order to give us time to work, to eat, to go homeand to sleep, I will only share three most memorable moments we had together.
The first memorable moment for me was thecompany activity held in May by our human resources Department. We played games together and had a great time. That day was my 25th birthday, but that is not the most important reason whyI remember it so well. Firstly, I learned our company’s history, and felt thatit is very difficult to start a business, and thought that everyone in ourcompany is very hard working. Secondly, I joined Maple’s team that day,although we almost lost all of the competitions, everyone was so happy andfriendly and my team made me understood the meaning of the phrase– “team spirit”。I began to understand and like our company after that day’s activity.
The second memorable moment for me was the birthday party held in May. I never had such a birthday party before, what’s more, my birthday is the same month as our General Manager Lu, and I felt very honored and grateful. I received a lot of warm celebration words from all of you and a lovely birthday card. I was so moved that day and had the feeling that I am a part of this big family. When I blew off the candles, I made three wishes, firstly, make progress in English, secondly, make progress in Japanese,Thirdly, do my best to become a good translator in Suntrans. I hope my wisheswill come true in the future.
The third memorable moment for me was The Second Experience Exchanging Forum of Mining Investment 20xx. This is the first time I took part in such a big conference, and I was very excited and willing to do something for it. We did work very hard for this conference, and even asked the Dragon Boat Festival to contribute. This conference gave me a great workexperience and taught me many things: for example how to do advertising and marketing, and a great knowledge in mining industry. The most important is, our young fellows’team work is very brilliant, and I love our company more thanever after this conference.
These are the three most memorable moments for me that I spent with all of you in Suntrans, I hope that we can create moreand more in the future.
Thank you all, best wishes with love.

Honorable Judges, fellow students:
Good afternoon!
Recently, there is a heated debate in our society. The college students arethe beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education atextraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and supportourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Willwe be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of ourcountry?
The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, whichwould cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The collegestudents I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We helpeach other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take parttime jobs to supplement our pocket money.
The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect theneed for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeplyfor each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth.

Good morning ! Students, teachers. I’m very glad to stand here and give youa short speech. today my topic is “I love English”. I hope you will like it.
As everyone knows,English is very important today. It has been usedeverywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet andfor international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chanceto succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number ofthe people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and itsusefulness,but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feela different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world. When Iread English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is differentfrom reading the translation. When I speak English, I can feel the confidentfrom my words. When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the sameas our Chinese...
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream. I hope I can travel around theworld one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people fromdifferent countries. I can see many places of great intrests. I dream that I cango to London,because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to theEnglish spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us. I know,Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one dayI can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So Ibelieve as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Thank you!

January first. The beginning of a new year. As far back in history as wecan tell, people have celebrated the start of a new year.
The people of ancient Egypt began their new year in summer. That is whenthe Nile River flooded its banks, bringing water and fertility to the land. Thepeople of ancient Babylonia and Persia began their new year on Marchtwenty-first, the first day of spring. And, some Native American Indians begantheir new year when the nuts of the oak tree became ripe. That was usually inlate summer.
Now, almost everyone celebrates New Years Day on January first. Today, asbefore, people observe the New Years holiday in many different ways.
The ancient Babylonians celebrated by forcing their king to give up hiscrown and royal clothing. They made him get down on his knees and admit all themistakes he had made during the past year.
This idea of admitting wrongs and finishing the business of the old year isfound in many societies at new years. So is the idea of making resolutions. Aresolution is a promise to change your ways. To stop smoking, for example. Or toget more physical exercise.
Noise-making is another ancient custom at the new year. The noise isconsidered necessary to chase away the evil spirits of the old year. Peoplearound the world do different things to make a lot of noise. They may hit stickstogether. Or beat on drums. Or blow horns. Or explode fireworks.
Americans celebrate the New Year in many ways.
Most do not have to go to work or school. So they visit family and friends.Attend church services. Share a holiday meal. Or watch new years parades ontelevision. Two of the most famous parades are the Mummers Parade inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. Bothhave existed for many years.
Americans also watch football on television on New Years Day. Most years,university teams play in special holiday games.
For those who have been busy at work or school, New Years may be a day ofrest. They spend the time thinking about, and preparing for, the demands of thenew year.

In my dream, there is a specialsky. In our world, the sky is blue, but the sky of my dream is pink, some angelsare having fun there.

Good afternoon, ladies and Gentlemen. Today I’d like to begin with a story.We all know that Chinese, as a nation has a long history about 5000 years, andwe feel very proud of our brilliant and splendid culture. Owing to that, myfather always told me: “you would suffer loss if you don’t follow old people’swords.” Besides I was taught everyday to learn Peking Opera. If some boy who isabout 16 years old sings Peking Opera in the classroom now, I’m afraid he willbe laughed at. JAY’s “Qian Li Zhi Wai ”seems more popular to you.
So we may wonder does our tradition get out of the modern lifeAbsolutelynot. What we need is just a peace of innovation. Here is a question:What isinnovationInnovation was an ancient dream flying into the outer space;innovation today, is the amazing convenience and intelligence that a singlemobile phone in your pocket could bring to you.
There is no more then a battle between tradition and innovation, which isthe rain and water relationship, not only tradition like fish without water,again good innovation will also become the castles in the air, there wont belasting vitality. Only both of them are perfectly together will bear fruits ofsuccess as well.
With the economic globalization becoming increasingly intensive, innovationhas become one of central topics around the world. Many countries see it as thekey to develop their economy. Our government, with no exception, regard it as "the soul of our nation." Based on advanced function system and excellentmanagement, factories are booming and enhance overall national economy. Highlydevelopment of electronic commerce is also a significant factor for improvingour living standards. The enlargement of our authority to the recruit ofgraduate and improvement of the conditions of scientists and skilled workers......
From all above, innovation has already became a kind of habit. There is nodoubt we would surprise the world by creating more and more amazing innovationstaking advantages of not only our intelligence but innovation. I’m sureinnovation has became one of the symbols in Chinese tradition and will be markof our bright future!
Thanks for your attention. Thank you very much.

犯錯(cuò)的價(jià)值
每個(gè)人都會(huì)避免犯錯(cuò)，但或許避免犯錯(cuò)本身就是一種錯(cuò)誤?請(qǐng)看以下這篇“犯錯(cuò)家“凱瑟琳舒爾茨告訴我們，或許我們不只該承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤，更應(yīng)該大力擁抱人性中“我錯(cuò)故我在“的本質(zhì)。
So it's 1995, I'm in college, and a friend and I go on a road trip from Providence, Rhode Island to Portland, Oregon.
當(dāng)時(shí)是95年 我在上大學(xué) 我和一個(gè)朋友開(kāi)車(chē)去玩 從羅得島的普羅旺斯區(qū)出發(fā) 到奧勒岡州的波特蘭市

我們年輕、無(wú)業(yè) ，于是整個(gè)旅程都在鄉(xiāng)間小道 經(jīng)過(guò)州立公園 和國(guó)家保護(hù)森林 我們盡可能繞著最長(zhǎng)的路徑

(Laughter) And I'm like, "You know, all the signs we keep seeing with the Chinese character on them."
(笑聲) 我說(shuō)"你知道的 我們一直看到的那個(gè)路牌 寫(xiě)著中文的那個(gè)啊"
She just stares at me for a few moments, and then she cracks up, because she figures out what I'm talking about.

(Laughter) Right, the famous Chinese character for picnic area.
(笑聲) 沒(méi)錯(cuò)，這就是代表野餐區(qū)的那個(gè)中文字
(Laughter) I've spent the last five years of my life thinking about situations exactly like this -- why we sometimes misunderstand the signs around us,
(笑聲) 過(guò)去的五年 我一直在思考 剛剛我所描述的狀況 為什么我們會(huì)對(duì)身邊的征兆 產(chǎn)生誤解
and how we behave when that happens, and what all of this can tell us about human nature.
當(dāng)誤解發(fā)生時(shí)我們作何反應(yīng) 以及這一切所告訴我們的人性

This might strike you as a strange career move, but it actually has one great advantage: no job competition.
你可能覺(jué)得這是個(gè)奇異的專(zhuān)業(yè) 但有一項(xiàng)好處是不容置疑的： 沒(méi)有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者。
(Laughter) In fact, most of us do everything we can to avoid thinking about being wrong, or at least to avoid thinking about the possibility that we ourselves are wrong.

人類(lèi)本來(lái)就會(huì)犯錯(cuò) - 沒(méi)問(wèn)題
But when it comes down to me right now, to all the beliefs I hold, here in the present tense, suddenly all of this abstract appreciation of fallibility goes out the window -- and I can't actually think of anything I'm wrong about.
一旦這個(gè)想法臨到我們自身 我們現(xiàn)在所有的 所有的信念 對(duì)人類(lèi)可能犯錯(cuò)的抽象概念隨即被我們拋棄 我無(wú)法想到我有哪里出錯(cuò)
And the thing is, the present tense is where we live.

We go to meetings in the present tense; we go on family vacations in the present tense; we go to the polls and vote in the present tense.
我們開(kāi)會(huì)，去家庭旅游 去投票 全都是現(xiàn)在式
So effectively, we all kind of wind up traveling through life, trapped in this little bubble of feeling very right about everything.
我們就像現(xiàn)在一個(gè)小泡泡里 經(jīng)歷人生 感覺(jué)自己總是對(duì)的
I think this is a problem.
我認(rèn)為這是個(gè)問(wèn)題
I think it's a problem for each of us as individuals, in our personal and professional lives, and I think it's a problem for all of us collectively as a culture.
我認(rèn)為這是每個(gè)人私人生活 和職業(yè)生活中的問(wèn)題 我認(rèn)為我們身為群體，這也造成了文化問(wèn)題
So what I want to do today is, first of all, talk about why we get stuck inside this feeling of being right.
于是，我今天想做的是 先談?wù)劄樯趺次覀儠?huì) 陷在這種自以為是的心態(tài)中
And second, why it's such a problem.
第二是為甚么這是個(gè)問(wèn)題
And finally, I want to convince you that it is possible to step outside of that feeling, and that, if you can do so, it is the single greatest
最后我想說(shuō)服大家 克服這種感覺(jué) 是可能的 而且一旦你做到了 這將成為你道德上
moral, intellectual and creative leap you can make.
智性上和創(chuàng)意上最大的進(jìn)步
So why do we get stuck in this feeling of being right?
為甚么我們會(huì)陷在 這種自以為是的心態(tài)中?
One reason actually has to do with a feeling of being wrong.
事實(shí)上這和犯錯(cuò)的感覺(jué)有關(guān)
So let me ask you guys something -- or actually, let me ask you guys something, because you're right here: How does it feel -- emotionally --
我想問(wèn)問(wèn)你們 讓我問(wèn)問(wèn)臺(tái)上的你們 當(dāng)你意識(shí)到自己犯錯(cuò)了
how does it feel to be wrong?
你感覺(jué)如何?
Dreadful. Thumbs down.
糟透了。很差勁。
Embarrassing. Okay, wonderful, good.
難堪。很好，是的。
Dreadful, thumbs down, embarrassing -- thank you, these are great answers, but they're answers to a different question.
很糟糕，很差勁，很難堪。 謝謝你們提供這些答案 但這些答案沒(méi)有回答我的問(wèn)題
You guys are answering the question: How does it feel to realize you're wrong?
你們回答的問(wèn)題是： 當(dāng)你意識(shí)到你犯錯(cuò)的時(shí)候，你的感覺(jué)如何?
(Laughter) Realizing you're wrong can feel like all of that and a lot of other things, right?
(笑聲) 意識(shí)到你犯錯(cuò)了就會(huì)有剛剛所說(shuō)的這些感覺(jué)，不是嗎?
I mean it can be devastating, it can be revelatory, it can actually be quite funny, like my stupid Chinese character mistake.
令人沮喪，暴露了一些真實(shí) 有時(shí)候甚至有些好笑 像我誤以為路牌是中文字
But just being wrong doesn't feel like anything.
但犯錯(cuò)本身 事實(shí)上毫無(wú)感覺(jué)
I'll give you an analogy.
讓我給你一個(gè)例子
Do you remember that Loony Tunes cartoon where there's this pathetic coyote who's always chasing and never catching a roadrunner?
你記得卡通里 那個(gè)總是在追逐 卻從未抓到獵物的土狼嗎?
In pretty much every episode of this cartoon, there's a moment where the coyote is chasing the roadrunner and the roadrunner runs off a cliff,
幾乎在每一集里 牠的獵物 - 一只走鵑鳥(niǎo) 都會(huì)跳下懸崖
which is fine, he's a bird, he can fly.
反正牠是鳥(niǎo)，牠可以飛
But the thing is, the coyote runs off the cliff right after him.
但土狼也會(huì)跟著牠一起跳崖
And what's funny -- at least if you're six years old -- is that the coyote's totally fine too.
那很好笑 如果你是個(gè)六歲兒童 土狼也很好
He just keeps running -- right up until the moment that he looks down and realizes that he's in mid-air.
牠就這么繼續(xù)跑 直到牠往下看 發(fā)現(xiàn)自己漫步在空中
That's when he falls.
這時(shí)候他才會(huì)往下掉
When we're wrong about something -- not when we realize it, but before that -- we're like that coyote after he's gone off the cliff and before he looks down.
在我們犯錯(cuò)時(shí) 在我們意識(shí)到我們犯錯(cuò)時(shí) 我們就像那只土狼 還沒(méi)意識(shí)到自己奔出懸崖
You know, we're already wrong, we're already in trouble, but we feel like we're on solid ground.
我們已經(jīng)錯(cuò)了 已經(jīng)惹上麻煩了 但仍然感覺(jué)像走在地上
So I should actually correct something I said a moment ago.
我應(yīng)該改變我之前的說(shuō)法
It does feel like something to be wrong; it feels like being right.
犯錯(cuò)的感覺(jué)就和 正確的感覺(jué)一樣
(Laughter) So this is one reason, a structural reason, why we get stuck inside this feeling of rightness.
(笑聲) 事實(shí)上我們這種自以為對(duì)的感受 是有構(gòu)造性的原因的
I call this error blindness.
我稱(chēng)之為錯(cuò)誤盲點(diǎn)
Most of the time, we don't have any kind of internal cue to let us know that we're wrong about something, until it's too late.
大部份的時(shí)間里 我們身體里沒(méi)有任何機(jī)制 提醒我們錯(cuò)了 直到木已成舟
But there's a second reason that we get stuck inside this feeling as well -- and this one is cultural.
但還有第二個(gè)理由 文化性的理由
Think back for a moment to elementary school.
回想小學(xué)時(shí)代
You're sitting there in class, and your teacher is handing back quiz papers, and one of them looks like this.
你坐在課堂里 你的老師發(fā)回小考考卷 像這樣的小考考卷
This is not mine, by the way.
雖然這張不是我的
(Laughter) So there you are in grade school, and you know exactly what to think about the kid who got this paper.
(笑聲) 你從小學(xué)時(shí)代 就知道該對(duì)拿這張考卷的同學(xué) 下甚么評(píng)語(yǔ)
It's the dumb kid, the troublemaker, the one who never does his homework.
笨蛋，搗蛋鬼 從不做功課的壞學(xué)生
So by the time you are nine years old, you've already learned, first of all, that people who get stuff wrong are lazy, irresponsible dimwits --
你不過(guò)才九歲 你已經(jīng)懂得，首先 那些犯錯(cuò)的人 都是懶惰、不負(fù)責(zé)任的傻瓜
and second of all, that the way to succeed in life is to never make any mistakes.
第二 想要在人生中成功 就不要犯錯(cuò)
We learn these really bad lessons really well.
我們很早就得到這些錯(cuò)誤訊息
And a lot of us -- and I suspect, especially a lot of us in this room -- deal with them by just becoming perfect little A students,
而我們 尤其是這個(gè)大廳里的許多人 都因此成為好學(xué)生 拿全A
perfectionists, over-achievers.
完美主義、永不滿(mǎn)意
Right, Mr. CFO, astrophysicist, ultra-marathoner?
不是嗎? 財(cái)務(wù)長(zhǎng)、天體物理學(xué)家、超級(jí)馬拉松先生們?
(Laughter) You're all CFO, astrophysicists, ultra-marathoners, it turns out.
(笑聲) 結(jié)果是你們?nèi)闪素?cái)務(wù)長(zhǎng)、天體物理學(xué)家、跑超級(jí)馬拉松
Okay, so fine.
那很好
Except that then we freak out at the possibility that we've gotten something wrong.
但一旦我們發(fā)現(xiàn)有可能犯錯(cuò) 就開(kāi)始手足無(wú)措
Because according to this, getting something wrong means there's something wrong with us.
因?yàn)橐勒找?guī)定 犯錯(cuò) 代表我們一定也有甚么不對(duì)勁
So we just insist that we're right, because it makes us feel smart and responsible and virtuous and safe.
于是我們堅(jiān)持己見(jiàn) 因?yàn)槟亲屛覀兏杏X(jué)聰明、得體 安全和可靠
So let me tell you a story.
讓我告訴你們一個(gè)故事
A couple of years ago, a woman comes into Beth Israel Deaconess medical center for a surgery.
幾年前 一個(gè)女人到 Beth Israel Deaconess 診所做手術(shù)
Beth Israel's in Boston.
Beth Israel 在波士頓
It's the teaching hospital for Harvard -- one of the best hospitals in the country.
是哈佛大學(xué)的教學(xué)附屬醫(yī)院 全國(guó)數(shù)一數(shù)二的醫(yī)療中心
So this woman comes in and she's taken into the operating room.
這個(gè)女人被送進(jìn)開(kāi)刀房
She's anesthetized, the surgeon does his thing -- stitches her back up, sends her out to the recovery room.
麻醉，外科醫(yī)生做完手術(shù) 縫合，將她送進(jìn)恢復(fù)室
Everything seems to have gone fine.
一切看上去都很好
And she wakes up, and she looks down at herself, and she says, "Why is the wrong side of my body in bandages?"
她醒來(lái)，往自己身上一看 說(shuō)“為甚么我的左腿綁著繃帶?”
Well the wrong side of her body is in bandages because the surgeon has performed a major operation on her left leg instead of her right one.
她應(yīng)該接受治療的是右腿 但為他做手術(shù)的外科醫(yī)生 卻把刀開(kāi)在左腿
When the vice president for health care quality at Beth Israel spoke about this incident, he said something very interesting.
當(dāng)副院長(zhǎng)出來(lái)為醫(yī)院的醫(yī)療質(zhì)量 和這次意外做出解釋時(shí) 他說(shuō)了句很有趣的話(huà)
He said, "For whatever reason, the surgeon simply felt that he was on the correct side of the patient."
他說(shuō)“無(wú)論如何 這位外科醫(yī)生感覺(jué) 他開(kāi)下的刀是在正確的一側(cè)”
(Laughter) The point of this story is that trusting too much in the feeling of being on the correct side of anything can be very dangerous.
(笑聲) 故事的重點(diǎn)是 相信自己的判斷力 相信自己站在對(duì)的一邊 是非常危險(xiǎn)的
This internal sense of rightness that we all experience so often is not a reliable guide to what is actually going on in the external world.
我們心中時(shí)常感覺(jué)到的 理直氣壯的感覺(jué) 在真實(shí)世界中 并不是個(gè)可靠的向?qū)А?/p>
And when we act like it is, and we stop entertaining the possibility that we could be wrong, well that's when we end up doing things
當(dāng)我們依此行事 不再思考我們是否犯錯(cuò) 我們就有可能
88.like dumping 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, or torpedoing the global economy.
把兩百灣加侖的石油倒進(jìn)墨西哥灣 或是顛覆世界經(jīng)濟(jì)
So this is a huge practical problem.
這是個(gè)很實(shí)際的問(wèn)題
But it's also a huge social problem.
這也是個(gè)很大的社會(huì)問(wèn)題
Think for a moment about what it means to feel right.
“感覺(jué)對(duì)”究竟是什么意思
It means that you think that your beliefs just perfectly reflect reality.
這代表著你認(rèn)為你的信念 和真實(shí)是一致的
And when you feel that way, you've got a problem to solve, which is, how are you going to explain all of those people who disagree with you?
當(dāng)你有這種感覺(jué)的時(shí)候 你的問(wèn)題就大了 因?yàn)槿绻闶菍?duì)的 為甚么還有人和你持不同意見(jiàn)?
It turns out, most of us explain those people the same way, by resorting to a series of unfortunate assumptions.
于是我們往往用同一種 思考方式去解釋這些異議
The first thing we usually do when someone disagrees with us is we just assume they're ignorant.
第一是當(dāng)他人不同意我們的說(shuō)法 我們便覺(jué)得他們無(wú)知
They don't have access to the same information that we do, and when we generously share that information with them, they're going to see the light and come on over to our team.
他們不像我們懂得這么多 當(dāng)我們慷慨地和他們分享我們的知識(shí) 他們便會(huì)理解，并加入我們的行列
When that doesn't work, when it turns out those people have all the same facts that we do and they still disagree with us, then we move on to a second assumption,
如果不是這樣 如果這些人和我們獲得的信息一樣多 卻仍然不認(rèn)同我們 我們便有了下一個(gè)定論
which is that they're idiots.
那就是他們是白癡
(Laughter) They have all the right pieces of the puzzle, and they are too moronic to put them together correctly.
(笑聲) 他們已經(jīng)有了所有的信息 卻笨到無(wú)法拼湊出正確的圖像
And when that doesn't work, when it turns out that people who disagree with us have all the same facts we do and are actually pretty smart,
一旦第二個(gè)定論也不成立 當(dāng)這些反對(duì)我們的人 和我們有一樣的信息 又聰明
then we move on to a third assumption: they know the truth, and they are deliberately distorting it for their own malevolent purposes.
我們便有了第三個(gè)結(jié)論 他們知道事實(shí)是甚么 但卻為了自己的好處 故意曲解真實(shí)。
So this is a catastrophe.
這真是個(gè)大災(zāi)難
This attachment to our own rightness keeps us from preventing mistakes when we absolutely need to and causes us to treat each other terribly.
我們的自以為是 讓我們?cè)谧钚枰臅r(shí)候 無(wú)法預(yù)防犯錯(cuò) 更讓我們互相仇視
104.But to me, what's most baffling and most tragic about this is that it misses the whole point of being human.
對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō) 最大的悲劇是 它讓我們錯(cuò)失了身為人的珍貴意義
It's like we want to imagine that our minds are just these perfectly translucent windows and we just gaze out of them and describe the world as it unfolds.
那就像是想象 我們的心靈之窗完全透明 我們向外觀看 描述在我們之前展開(kāi)的世界
And we want everybody else to gaze out of the same window and see the exact same thing.
我們想要每個(gè)人和我們有一樣的窗子 對(duì)世界做出一樣的觀察
That is not true, and if it were, life would be incredibly boring.
那不是真的 如果是，人生將會(huì)多么無(wú)聊
The miracle of your mind isn't that you can see the world as it is.
心靈的神奇之處 不在你懂得這個(gè)世界是甚么樣子
It's that you can see the world as it isn't.
而是去理解那些你不懂的地方
We can remember the past, and we can think about the future, and we can imagine what it's like to be some other person in some other place.
我們記得過(guò)去 思考未來(lái) 我們想象 自己成為他人，在他方
And we all do this a little differently, which is why we can all look up at the same night sky and see this and also this and also this.
我們的想象都有些不同 于是當(dāng)我們抬頭看同一個(gè)夜空 我們看到這個(gè) 這個(gè) 和這個(gè)
And yeah, it is also why we get things wrong.
這也是我們搞錯(cuò)事情的原因
1,200 years before Descartes said his famous thing about "I think therefore I am,"
在笛卡兒說(shuō)出那句有名的”我思故我在“ 的一千兩百年前
this guy, St. Augustine, sat down and wrote "Fallor ergo sum" -- "I err therefore I am."
圣奧古斯丁，坐下來(lái) 寫(xiě)下"Fallor ergo sum" "我錯(cuò)故我在"
Augustine understood that our capacity to screw up, it's not some kind of embarrassing defect in the human system, something we can eradicate or overcome.
奧古斯丁懂得 我們犯錯(cuò)的能力 這并不是人性中 一個(gè)令人難堪的缺陷 不是我們可以克服或消滅的
It's totally fundamental to who we are.
這是我們的本質(zhì)
Because, unlike God, we don't really know what's going on out there.
因?yàn)槲覀儾皇巧系?我們不知道我們之外究竟發(fā)生了甚么
And unlike all of the other animals, we are obsessed with trying to figure it out.
而不同于其它動(dòng)物的是 我們都瘋狂地想找出解答
To me, this obsession is the source and root of all of our productivity and creativity.
對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō) 這種尋找的沖動(dòng) 就是我們生產(chǎn)力和創(chuàng)造力的來(lái)源
Last year, for various reasons, I found myself listening to a lot of episodes of the Public Radio show This American Life.
因?yàn)橐恍┚壒?去年我在廣播上 聽(tīng)了很多集的"我們的美國(guó)人生"
And so I'm listening and I'm listening, and at some point, I start feeling like all the stories are about being wrong.
我聽(tīng)著聽(tīng)著 突然發(fā)現(xiàn) 這些故事全和犯錯(cuò)有關(guān)
And my first thought was, "I've lost it.
我的第一個(gè)念頭是 “我完了
I've become the crazy wrongness lady.
我寫(xiě)書(shū)寫(xiě)瘋了
I just imagined it everywhere,"
四處都看到有關(guān)犯錯(cuò)的幻覺(jué)”
which has happened.
說(shuō)真的是這樣
But a couple of months later, I actually had a chance to interview Ira Glass, who's the host of the show.
但幾個(gè)月后 我訪問(wèn)了那個(gè)廣播節(jié)目的主持人 Ira Glass
And I mentioned this to him, and he was like, "No actually, that's true.
我向他提到這件事 他回答我“事實(shí)上
In fact," he says, "as a staff, we joke that every single episode of our show has the same crypto-theme.
你是對(duì)的”他說(shuō) “我們這些工作人員總是 開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō)每集節(jié)目之中的 秘密主題都是一樣的
And the crypto-theme is: 'I thought this one thing was going to happen and something else happened instead.' And thing is," says Ira Glass, "we need this.
這個(gè)秘密主題就是 "我以為這件事會(huì)這樣發(fā)生 結(jié)果其它事情發(fā)生了" 他說(shuō)"但是，這就是我們需要的
We need these moments of surprise and reversal and wrongness to make these stories work."
我們需要這些意外 這些顛倒和錯(cuò)誤 這些故事才能成立。"
And for the rest of us, audience members, as listeners, as readers, we eat this stuff up.
而我們身為觀眾 聽(tīng)眾、讀者 我們吸收這些故事
We love things like plot twists and red herrings and surprise endings.
我們喜歡故事轉(zhuǎn)折 令人驚訝的結(jié)局
When it comes to our stories, we love being wrong.
我們喜歡在故事里 看到犯錯(cuò)
But, you know, our stories are like this because our lives are like this.
但，故事會(huì)這樣寫(xiě) 是因?yàn)槿松褪沁@樣
We think this one thing is going to happen and something else happens instead.
我們以為某些事情會(huì)這樣發(fā)生 發(fā)生的卻是其它事
George Bush thought he was going to invade Iraq, find a bunch of weapons of mass destruction, liberate the people and bring democracy to the Middle East.
小布什以為他入侵伊拉克 會(huì)找到大規(guī)模毀滅性武器 解放中東百姓，為他們帶來(lái)民主自由
And something else happened instead.
但卻不是這樣
And Hosni Mubarak thought he was going to be dictator of Egypt for the rest of his life, until he got too old or too sick and could pass the reigns of power onto his son.
穆巴拉克以為 他到死都會(huì)是埃及的獨(dú)裁者 一直到他年老或臥病 再把他的權(quán)力交給下一代
And something else happened instead.
但卻不是這樣
And maybe you thought you were going to grow up and marry your high school sweetheart and move back to your home town and raise a bunch of kids together.
或許你想過(guò) 你會(huì)長(zhǎng)大、嫁給你的初戀情人 搬回老家，生一群孩子
And something else happened instead.
但卻不是這樣
And I have to tell you that I thought I was writing an incredibly nerdy book about a subject everybody hates for an audience that would never materialize.
我必須說(shuō) 我以為我寫(xiě)的是一本很冷僻的書(shū) 有關(guān)一個(gè)人人討厭的主題 為一些從不存在的讀者
And something else happened instead.
但卻不是這樣
(Laughter) I mean, this is life.
(笑聲) 我們的人生
For good and for ill, we generate these incredible stories about the world around us, and then the world turns around and astonishes us.
無(wú)論好壞 我們創(chuàng)造了啦 那包圍我們的世界 而世界轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)頭來(lái)，令我們大吃一驚
No offense, but this entire conference is an unbelievable monument to our capacity to get stuff wrong.
說(shuō)真的，這整個(gè)會(huì)議 充斥著這樣難以置信的時(shí)刻 我們一次又一次地意識(shí)到自己的錯(cuò)誤
We just spent and entire week talking about innovations and advancements and improvements, but you know why we need all of those innovations
我們花了整整一周 討論創(chuàng)新，進(jìn)步 和改善 你知道我們?yōu)樯趺葱枰@些創(chuàng)新
and advancements and improvements?
進(jìn)步和改善嗎?
Because half the stuff that's the most mind-boggling and world altering -- TED 1998 -- eh.
因?yàn)槠渲杏幸话?來(lái)自最應(yīng)該改變世界的 98年的TED 呃
(Laughter) Didn't really work out that way, did it.
(笑聲) 真是出人意料之外啊，不是嗎
(Laughter) Where's my jet pack, Chris?
(笑聲) 我的逃生火箭在哪，Chris?
(Laughter) (Applause) So here we are again.
(笑聲) (掌聲) 于是我們又在這里
And that's how it goes.
事情就是這樣
We come up with another idea.
我們重新想出其它點(diǎn)子
We tell another story.
我們有了新的故事
We hold another conference.
我們開(kāi)了另一個(gè)會(huì)議
The theme of this one, as you guys have now heard seven million times, is the rediscovery of wonder.
這次的主題是 如果你還沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到耳朵出油的話(huà) 是重新找到想象的力量
And to me, if you really want to rediscover wonder, you need to step outside of that tiny, terrified space of rightness and look around at each other
對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō) 如果你真的想重新找到想象的力量 你需要離開(kāi) 那個(gè)小小的、自我感覺(jué)良好的小圈圈 看看彼此
and look out at the vastness and complexity and mystery of the universe and be able to say, "Wow, I don't know.
看看宇宙的 廣大無(wú)垠 復(fù)雜神秘 然后真正地說(shuō) “哇，我不知道
Maybe I'm wrong."
或許我錯(cuò)了。”
Thank you.
謝謝各位
(Applause) Thank you guys.
(掌聲) 謝謝

December 4th, 20xx, will be the first-ever Wildlife Conservation Day. Our goal is to inform more people about this global conservation crisis. Attacks on rhinos and elephants are multiplying at an alarming rate. Species around the globe such as tigers in Asia are endangered. By some estimates, the black market for wildlife trafficking is rivaled in size only by the illegal arms and drug trade. The slaughter of endangered species robs communities of income from tourism, reduces biodiversity, encourages corruption, undermines good governance.
That's why we are training officials and educating prosecutors about wildlife crimes and helping countries strengthen their enforcement laws. But we can’t do this without you. Please, join us. Become part of the solution. You have the choice to refuse to purchase products made from endangered wildlife. Together we can save these animals before it is too late. Stand up and speak out, and stop this trade. Visit the website Take the pledge to respect and protect the world’s wildlife.

Have you ever heard about Warren Buffet, the second richest person in the world? Well, today I am not going to talk about him but his three kids.
For someone whose parent is such an extraordinarily successful investor, the three kids come out pretty ordinary guys. When they were young, they each received $ 10,000 a year. If they wanted to borrow more money form their father, they have to sign a written agreement. When growing up, however, they all found their lovely jobs-housewife, farmer, musician, instead of relying on their well off father.
It seems that they are unlucky to have a father who criticizes the self-indulgence of super-rich. But is it really true? No, absolutely not! In fact, they are grateful to him because they found their own passion which suits their true talent, and they are able to make money on their own.
So what could we learn from them? Three words: independence, responsibility, passion. Indeed we are fortunate to be protected by the whole family, but this cannot be the reason for us to become boomerang children.
Although we, the generation of 90s have been questioned from the day we were born: selfness and weakness, indifference and rebellion, sensitivity and pride, we are still pressing on with our creed: Yes we can. At a time when the earthquake happened in We chuan, we were praised by the whole public because of the bravery and determination we show during the process of rescuing. Yes we can. When the World Expo was held in Shanghai, the smile on volunteers’ faces impressed millions of people all around the world. Yes we can. When the two kids fell into the river, fifteen freshmen of Chang Jiang University saved them from drowning regardless of the truth that they cannot swim. Yes we can. We were there for the return of Hong Kong and Macao, the Olympic Game in Beijing, the 60th anniversary of founding of New China, and Premier Wen Jiabao who told the survivors in earthquake that “We shall overcome.” Yes we can.
As the only child in the family, however, some of us just like flowers growing in the greenhouse that take for granted, and parents will give them whatever they want, from toys to books, from watches to cell phones, from houses to cars. But apart from this, we have to be independent. Everyone is an individual. You are not your parents’ sequel. You are not your kids’ prequel. You have your own talents and you have to rely on yourselves.
Take responsibility. No one can support you in your whole life. No one

Good morning,

Strength:
I feel that my strongest asset is my ability to stick to things to get them done. I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as I’d planned. I’ve set some high goals for myself. For example, I want to graduate with highest scores. And at last, I become one of the outstanding graduates in Chong Qing University after a lot of study. Besides, I am good at building mathematical models and analyzing questions with economic methods.
Weakness:
I'm such a perfectionist that I will not stop until a job is well done.
Achievements: I had acquired the first prize by designing models on Mathematical modeling in 20xx; besides, I had help my teachers to analyze the Warrant pricing by varieties methods.
I’m convinced that I can go farther and make greater contribution for my country by careful process of learning, please give me this chance to study in this great university---LiGong University! I promise, I will use my whole ability to improve myself and get the primary accomplishment in my major and do a useful man for our school!
Personally, for today's China, the foundation of the development of Economic is the advancement of transportation equipment. That’s to say, we should do our best to make contribution to improve our transportation equipment to ensure the development of Economic.
Only when our transportation equipment is great enough, our economic can get big achievement.
