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 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.

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.

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

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.

Only when our transportation equipment is great enough, our economic can get big achievement.

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.”

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.

Not long ago。 Sanlu milk powder incident once again draw the attention of food safety issues。 Why food safety is always at risk? I think there are probably two reasons。 For onr thing, the illegal business add a number of unsafe things into the food driven by the interests。 For another thing, the country's regulatory regime is inadequate, so that criminals can take advantage of the opportunity。
Food safety is very important。 If you eat unsafe food, the consequences would be unthinkable。 Therefore, we should take some measures to prevent unsafe food。
First of all, the government should strengthen supervision and improve the law to punish illegal food manufacturers。 furthermore, when consumers buy food should depends on its production date and shelf-life。 In short, to solve the food security issues need a long way to go, it needs the joint efforts of all sides。

小時(shí)候,總聽媽媽給我講屈原因?yàn)槌酵醵躲枇_江,從此便有了端午節(jié),我也似懂非懂地知道了:原來端午節(jié)是由屈原而產(chǎn)生的。
When I was a child, my mother told me to listen to Qu Yuan because ChupingWang and the Miluo River, then have the Dragon Boat Festival, I also vaguelyknow that the Dragon Boat Festival was produced by Qu Yuan.
相傳屈原是一個(gè)愛國詩人,投江后,汨羅江畔的百姓們紛紛去打撈屈原的尸體,因此有了賽龍舟的習(xí)俗;百姓們把飯團(tuán)等投入江中,因此有了吃棕子的習(xí)俗,百姓們把兄雄黃酒倒入江中,因此有了喝雄黃酒的習(xí)俗。
Legend has it that Qu Yuan is a patriotic poet, Jiang River, Miluo peoplehave to recover Qu Yuan's body, so there is the custom of the dragon boat race;people have the balls and into the river, so there is the custom of eatingzongzi, people are the brother of wine poured into the river, so have a drinkrealgar wine the custom.
記得前不久,我還了南湖邊,看龍舟競渡,那兒人山人海,一派熱鬧的景象,南湖邊上圍滿了人,不用說他們就是來看龍舟競賽的,只見不遠(yuǎn)處湖面上,停泊著大大小小的的龍舟,龍舟選手們嚴(yán)陣以待,不過一會(huì)兒就上了各自的龍舟,他們一個(gè)個(gè)精神抖擻,似乎真的是要打撈屈原。一眨眼的工夫,他們就開始了,隨著“嘿咻嘿咻”的口號(hào)聲。他們有節(jié)奏地劃起龍舟,這使我不禁想象起了當(dāng)時(shí)百姓們紛紛去打撈屈原時(shí)的情景……
I remember not long ago, I also see the South Lake, dragon boat races,there are huge crowds of people, a lively scene, South Lake surrounded withpeople, they see the dragon boat race is needless to say, not far from the lakepark, large and small dragon boat, Dragon Boat athletes embattled, but soon onthe boat, they all seem to be in fine fig, really want to salvage Qu Yuan. In ablink of an eye, they began, with the slogan "sex.". They have a rhythm to drawfrom the dragon boat, which I imagine the people at that time have to retrievehis time......

The Little Prince is a tale for both children and adults. The Little Princeis the story of a man who crashes his airplane into the desert only to meet atraveling boy from a small planet. The boy inquires about trees and sheep,shares his journeys and various encounters, and then leaves. Yet, readingbetween the lines, the story offers a much more complex, eiching, satisfying andeye-opening moral: what matters in life is love - and caring about someone orsomething and maintaining that relationship. The prince loves his rose enough tocare for it every night by protecting it with a glass globe and requesting amuzzle for his sheep. He knows that the rose is naive with only four purposelessthorns and, out of his loyalty to her, it is his duty to protect her. Likewise,the narrator loves the prince and feels an obligation to secure his safe journeyhome.
I read this book as a child and was infected with a sense of awe and anewfound respect for the written word and its power to touch, heal and changeperception. For myself, it accomplished two things; it instilled in me a desireto one day
become a writer and touch others with my words and like the narrator of thestory, and Antoine De Saint-Exupery (whose own plane crash is said to have beenthe basis for the tale) it instilled within me a hope that one day the LittlePrince will return and someone will let me know.
What is the meaning of this tale? Easily saying is that the tale talk aboutmany normal things like morals and principles and values from two different butsuccessive way as children and adults. As the narrator said you can only catchadults’ attention by describing the price of something or saying the number ofsomething. It’s hard to make adults feel lovely by the children’s beautifuldescribing. That is the reason why many adults believe this tale is a tale foradults.
Being insincere and utilitarian, adults consider useful and kids thinksinful. Free spirit and free heart, adults consider absurd and children believenecessary. The amazing point is that these two different beliefs are held by onespecies--Human. When we were young, we could see anything God want us to see.But after decades, what we could see was only something we need to see.
There are so many good things for children and their imagination. And thereare not so many things for adults and their reality.

Nowadays, the employment of college students is becoming more and more of a problem. According to statistics, about 30% of graduate students can't find a job after graduation. These college student who cannot find jobs are at their worst. Why college graduates have difficulty finding jobs? Why is it a big problem that puzzled people for years?
The reason for it is various. The main reason has the following points: Firstly, the number of the college student is increasing faster and faster these years. In addition, many colleges and universities fail to adapt their courses to the development of economy.
Secondly, It's easy for some students to find work. But the fact is that some students don't want to do the job, they except to find a work with a higher salary. In addition, some graduates did not work hard in college, so they are not competent for jobs they want.
Last but not least, some college students cannot come to terms with themselves and with the world around them. They pursue too high goals and are too particular about such factors as working conditions, salary, and so on. Therefore, they are reluctant to accept the job when they are offered to them.
How can we deal with the problem? In my opinion, students who are in colleges must work harder than before to keep their competitiveness. Only in this way can we find a suitable job. The government should take effective measures to expand employment. I do believe that this problem will be resolved soon.
譯文:
如今,大學(xué)生的就業(yè)變得越來越多的一個(gè)問題。據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì),約有30%的研究生畢業(yè)后找不到工作。這些大學(xué)生找不到工作是最糟糕的。為什么大學(xué)畢業(yè)生找工作有困難嗎?為什么它是一個(gè)大問題,困擾人們多年來嗎?
這是不同的原因。主要原因有以下幾點(diǎn):首先,大學(xué)生的數(shù)量增長得越來越快。此外,許多學(xué)院和大學(xué)無法使他們的課程適應(yīng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。
其次,一些學(xué)生很容易找到工作。但事實(shí)是,一些學(xué)生不想做這份工作,他們除了找個(gè)高工資的工作。此外,一些畢業(yè)生在大學(xué)里不努力工作,所以他們不能勝任的工作。
最后但并非最不重要,一些大學(xué)生不能接受自己和周圍的世界。他們追求過高的目標(biāo)和過于挑剔等因素的工作條件,工資,等等。因此,他們不愿意接受向他們提供的工作時(shí)。
我們?nèi)绾翁幚磉@個(gè)問題?在我看來,高校學(xué)生必須比以前更加努力學(xué)習(xí)以保持競爭力。只有這樣,我們才能找到一份合適的工作。政府應(yīng)該采取有效措施,擴(kuò)大就業(yè)。我相信這個(gè)問題很快就會(huì)解決。

接下來,我們乘車盤曲而下。到了山下,來到紅石峽景區(qū)。突然,導(dǎo)游指著一個(gè)大石頭說:“這是雙運(yùn)石,用左手摸它是桃花運(yùn)右手摸它是財(cái)運(yùn)。”聽完這句話我便想去捉弄在后面走的媽媽,把她拉到這兒,讓她用左右手都摸摸,等她摸完后再告訴她事情的真相。她聽完后,我倆哈哈大笑。
云臺(tái)山,讓我用一句話說就是:霧鎖山頭山鎖霧,天連水尾水連天(因?yàn)槟莾旱脑贫,水清?/p>
媽媽,今天我玩得特開心,你開心嗎?
In order to celebrate mother's day my mother and I decided to jiaozuoborder region a attractions - yuntai mountain. We went all the way along theroadside flowers like in smiled at me, The tree is waved to me. Even the rainalso infected by us more huan... So soon in yuntai mountain.

Different people have various ambitions. Some want to be engineers or doctors in the future. Some want to be scientists or businessmen. Still some wish to be teachers or lawers when they grow up in the days to come.
Unlike other people, I prefer to be a farmer. However, it is not easy to be a farmer for Iwill be looked upon by others. Anyway,what I am trying to do is to make great contributions to agriculture. It is well known that farming is the basic of the country. Above all, farming is not only a challenge but also a good opportunity for the young. We can also make a big profit by growing vegetables and food in a scientific way. Besides we can apply what we have learned in school to farming. Thus our countryside will become more and more properous.
I believe that any man with knowledge can do whatever they can so long as this job can meet his or her interest. All the working position can provide him with a good chance to become a talent.

英文演講稿范文 篇21
Now it is commonly held that dating in university is acceptable, which has become a hot point under discussion. Some people hold the opinion that students should put their study in the first place. Besides, fall in love with someone could causes extra spending, which is a burden for students and their parents. While others argue that dating could be good for students.
For one thing, dating could help student learn how to be more socialize. Now the phenomenon is not rare to see that students only show up in classroom, dormitory and refectory, this triangle model makes students have less chance to make now friends that will probably lead to social apathy. For that reason, we should approve of dating in university, so that students could have more motive power to go out to find someone who is fit in them. Obviously, the ability of socialize will be promoted by osmosis.
For another, there is an old saying which goes that men and women with the work and not tired. It is true that when a couple work or study together, they will feel less exhausted, because we always want to show our best side to the one we love. Besides, student couple study together is more efficient, for they have the same target and they will encouraged each other.
Taking all these factors into account, we should approve of dating in university. It could make college life more vividly, enrich student’s life style and help them to be more socializing.

What fear can teach us
恐懼可以教會(huì)我們什么
One day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of Chile, in one of the most remote regions of the Pacific Ocean, 20 American sailors watched their ship flood with seawater.
1820xx年的某一天, 在距離智利海岸3000英里的地方, 有一個(gè)太平洋上的最偏遠(yuǎn)的水域, 20名美國船員目睹了他們的船只進(jìn)水的場面。
They'd been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ship's hull. As their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the men huddled together in three small whaleboats.
他們和一頭抹香鯨相撞,給船體撞了 一個(gè)毀滅性的大洞。 當(dāng)船在巨浪中開始沉沒時(shí), 人們在三條救生小艇中抱作一團(tuán)。
These men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land. In their small boats, they carried only rudimentary navigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.
這些人在離家10000萬英里的地方, 離最近的陸地也超過1000英里。 在他們的小艇中,他們只帶了 落后的導(dǎo)航設(shè)備 和有限的食物和飲水。
These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspire parts of "Moby Dick."
他們就是捕鯨船ESSEX上的人們, 后來的他們的故事成為《白鯨記》的一部分。
Even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but think about how much worse it would have been then.
即使在當(dāng)今的世界,碰上這種情況也夠杯具的,更不用說在當(dāng)時(shí)的情況有多糟糕。
No one on land had any idea that anything had gone wrong. No search party was coming to look for these men. So most of us have never experienced a situation as frightening as the one in which these sailors found themselves, but we all know what it's like to be afraid.
岸上的人根本就還沒意識(shí)到出了什么問題。 沒有任何人來搜尋他們。 我們當(dāng)中大部分人沒有經(jīng)歷過 這些船員所處的可怕情景, 但我們都知道害怕是什么感覺。
We know how fear feels, but I'm not sure we spend enough time thinking about what our fears mean.
我們知道恐懼的感覺, 但是我不能肯定我們會(huì)花很多時(shí)間想過 我們的恐懼到底意味著什么。
As we grow up, we're often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, just another childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.
我們長大以后,我們總是會(huì)被鼓勵(lì)把恐懼 視為軟弱,需要像乳牙或輪滑鞋一樣 扔掉的幼稚的東西。
And I think it's no accident that we think this way. Neuroscientists have actually shown that human beings are hard-wired to be optimists.
我想意外事故并非我們所想的那樣。 神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)科學(xué)家已經(jīng)知道人類 生來就是樂觀主義者。
So maybe that's why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself. "Don't worry," we like to say to one another. "Don't panic." In English, fear is something we conquer. It's something we fight.
這也許就是為什么我們認(rèn)為有時(shí)候恐懼, 本身就是一種危險(xiǎn)或帶來危險(xiǎn)。 “不要愁。”我們總是對(duì)別人說。“不要慌”。 英語中,恐懼是我們需要征服的東西。 是我們必須對(duì)抗的東西,是我們必須克服的東西。
It's something we overcome. But what if we looked at fear in a fresh way? What if we thought of fear as an amazing act of the imagination, something that can be as profound and insightful as storytelling itself?
但是我們?nèi)绻麚Q個(gè)視角看恐懼會(huì)如何呢? 如果我們把恐懼當(dāng)做是想象力的一個(gè)驚人成果, 是和我們講故事一樣 精妙而有見地的東西,又會(huì)如何呢?
It's easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in young children, whose fears are often extraordinarily vivid.
在小孩子當(dāng)中,我們最容易看到恐懼與想象之間的聯(lián)系, 他們的恐懼經(jīng)常是超級(jí)生動(dòng)的。
When I was a child, I lived in California, which is, you know, mostly a very nice place to live, but for me as a child, California could also be a little scary.
我小時(shí)候住在加利福尼亞, 你們都知道,是非常適合居住的位置, 但是對(duì)一個(gè)小孩來說,加利福尼亞也會(huì)有點(diǎn)嚇人。
I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I sometimes couldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike while we were sleeping.
我記得每次小地震的時(shí)候 當(dāng)我看到我們餐桌上的吊燈 晃來晃去的時(shí)候是多么的嚇人, 我經(jīng)常會(huì)徹夜難眠,擔(dān)心大地震 會(huì)在我們睡覺的時(shí)候突然襲來。
And what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have a vivid imagination. But at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kinds of visions behind and grow up.
我們說小孩子感受到這種恐懼 是因?yàn)樗麄冇猩鷦?dòng)的想象力。 但是在某個(gè)時(shí)候,我們大多數(shù)學(xué)會(huì)了 拋棄這種想法而變得成熟。
We learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not every earthquake brings buildings down. But maybe it's no coincidence that some of our most creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.
我們都知道床下沒有魔鬼, 也不是每個(gè)地震都會(huì)震垮房子。但是我們當(dāng)中最有想象力的人們 并沒有因?yàn)槌赡甓鴴仐夁@種恐懼,這也許并不是巧合。
The same incredible imaginations that produced "The Origin of Species," "Jane Eyre" and "The Remembrance of Things Past," also generated intense worries that haunted the adult lives of Charles Darwin, Charlotte BrontĂŤ and Marcel Proust. So the question is, what can the rest of us learn about fear from visionaries and young children?
同樣不可思議的想象力創(chuàng)造了《物種起源》, 《簡·愛》和《追憶似水年華》, 也就是這種與生俱來的深深的擔(dān)憂一直纏繞著成年的 查爾斯·達(dá)爾文, 夏洛特·勃朗特和馬塞爾·普羅斯特。 問題就來了, 我們其他人如何能從這些 夢想家和小孩子身上學(xué)會(huì)恐懼?
Well let's return to the year 1819 for a moment, to the situation facing the crew of the whaleship Essex. Let's take a look at the fears that their imaginations were generating as they drifted in the middle of the Pacific.
讓我們暫時(shí)回到1820xx年, 回到ESSEX捕鯨船的水手們面對(duì)的情況。 讓我們看看他們漂流在太平洋中央時(shí) 他們的想象力給他們帶來的恐懼感覺。
Twenty-four hours had now passed since the capsizing of the ship. The time had come for the men to make a plan, but they had very few options.
船傾覆后已經(jīng)過了24個(gè)小時(shí)。 這時(shí)人們制定了一個(gè)計(jì)劃, 但是其實(shí)他們沒什么太多的選擇。
In his fascinating account of the disaster, Nathaniel Philbrick wrote that these men were just about as far from land as it was possible to be anywhere on Earth.
在納撒尼爾·菲爾布里克(Nathaniel Philbrick)描述這場災(zāi)難的 動(dòng)人文章中,他寫到“這些人離陸地如此之遠(yuǎn), 似乎永遠(yuǎn)都不可能到達(dá)地球上的任何一塊陸地。”
The men knew that the nearest islands they could reach were the Marquesas Islands, 1,200 miles away. But they'd heard some frightening rumors.
這些人知道離他們最近的島 是1200英里以外的馬克薩斯群島(Marquesas Islands)。 但是他們聽到了讓人恐怖的謠言。
They'd been told that these islands, and several others nearby, were populated by cannibals. So the men pictured coming ashore only to be murdered and eaten for dinner. Another possible destination was Hawaii, but given the season, the captain was afraid they'd be struck by severe storms.
他們聽說這些群島, 以及附近的一些島嶼上都住著食人族。 所以他們腦中都是上岸以后就會(huì)被殺掉 被人當(dāng)做盤中餐的畫面。 另一個(gè)可行的目的地是夏威夷, 但是船長擔(dān)心 他們會(huì)被困在風(fēng)暴當(dāng)中。
Now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500 miles due south in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the coast of South America.
所以最后的選擇是到最遠(yuǎn),也是最艱險(xiǎn)的地方: 往南走1500英里希望某股風(fēng) 能最終把他們 吹到南美洲的海岸。
But they knew that the sheer length of this journey would stretch their supplies of food and water. To be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms, to starve to death before reaching land.
但是他們知道這個(gè)行程中一旦偏航 將會(huì)耗盡他們食物和飲水的供給。 被食人族吃掉,被風(fēng)暴掀翻, 在登陸前餓死。
These were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men, and as it turned out, the fear they chose to listen to would govern whether they lived or died.
這就是縈繞在這群可憐的人想象中的恐懼, 事實(shí)證明,他們選擇聽從的恐懼 將決定他們的生死。
Now we might just as easily call these fears by a different name. What if instead of calling them fears, we called them stories?
也許我們可以很容易的用別的名稱來稱呼這些恐懼。 我們不稱之為恐懼, 而是稱它們?yōu)楣适氯绾?
Because that's really what fear is, if you think about it. It's a kind of unintentional storytelling that we are all born knowing how to do. And fears and storytelling have the same components.
如果你仔細(xì)想想,這是恐懼真正的意義。 這是一種與生俱來的, 無意識(shí)的講故事的能力。 恐懼和講故事有著同樣的構(gòu)成。
They have the same architecture. Like all stories, fears have characters. In our fears, the characters are us. Fears also have plots. They have beginnings and middles and ends. You board the plane.
他們有同樣的結(jié)構(gòu)。 如同所有的故事,恐懼中有角色。 在恐懼中,角色就是我們自己。 恐懼也有情節(jié)。他們有開頭,有中間,有結(jié)尾。 你登上飛機(jī)。
The plane takes off. The engine fails. Our fears also tend to contain imagery that can be every bit as vivid as what you might find in the pages of a novel. Picture a cannibal, human teeth sinking into human skin, human flesh roasting over a fire.
飛機(jī)起飛。結(jié)果引擎故障。 我們的恐懼會(huì)包括各種生動(dòng)的想象, 不比你看到的任何一個(gè)小說遜色。 想象食人族,人類牙齒 咬在人類皮膚上, 人肉在火上烤。
Fears also have suspense. If I've done my job as a storyteller today, you should be wondering what happened to the men of the whaleship Essex. Our fears provoke in us a very similar form of suspense.
恐懼中也有懸念。 如果我今天像講故事一樣,留個(gè)懸念不說了, 你們也許會(huì)很想知道 ESSEX捕鯨船上,人們到底怎么樣了。 我們的恐懼用懸念一樣的方式刺激我們。
Just like all great stories, our fears focus our attention on a question that is as important in life as it is in literature: What will happen next?
就像一個(gè)很好的故事,我們的恐懼也如同一部好的文學(xué)作品一樣, 將我們的注意力集中在對(duì)我們生命至關(guān)重要的問題上: 后來發(fā)生了什么?
In other words, our fears make us think about the future. And humans, by the way, are the only creatures capable of thinking about the future in this way, of projecting ourselves forward in time, and this mental time travel is just one more thing that fears have in common with storytelling.
換而言之,我們的恐懼讓我們想到未來。 另外,人來是唯一有能力 通過這種方式想到未來的生物, 就是預(yù)測時(shí)間推移后我們的狀況, 這種精神上的時(shí)間旅行是恐懼 與講故事的另一個(gè)共同點(diǎn)。
As a writer, I can tell you that a big part of writing fiction is learning to predict how one event in a story will affect all the other events, and fear works in that same way.
我是一個(gè)作家,我要告訴你們寫小說一個(gè)很重要的部分 就是學(xué)會(huì)預(yù)測故事中一件 事情如何影響另一件事情, 恐懼也是同樣這么做的。
In fear, just like in fiction, one thing always leads to another. When I was writing my first novel, "The Age Of Miracles," I spent months trying to figure out what would happen if the rotation of the Earth suddenly began to slow down. What would happen to our days?
恐懼中,如同小說一樣,一件事情總是導(dǎo)致另一件事情。 我寫我的第一部小說《奇跡時(shí)代》的時(shí)候, 我花了數(shù)月的時(shí)間想象如果地球旋轉(zhuǎn)突然變慢了之后 會(huì)發(fā)生什么。 我們的一天變得如何?
What would happen to our crops? What would happen to our minds? And then it was only later that I realized how very similar these questions were to the ones I used to ask myself as a child frightened in the night.
我們身體會(huì)怎樣? 我們的思想會(huì)有什么變化? 也就是在那之后,我意識(shí)到 我過去總是問自己的那些些問題 和孩子們在夜里害怕是多么的相像。
If an earthquake strikes tonight, I used to worry, what will happen to our house? What will happen to my family? And the answer to those questions always took the form of a story.
要是在過去,如果今晚發(fā)生地震,我會(huì)很擔(dān)心, 我的房子會(huì)怎么樣啊?家里人會(huì)怎樣啊? 這類問題的答案通常都會(huì)和故事一樣。
So if we think of our fears as more than just fears but as stories, we should think of ourselves as the authors of those stories. But just as importantly, we need to think of ourselves as the readers of our fears, and how we choose to read our fears can have a profound effect on our lives.
所以我們認(rèn)為我們的恐懼不僅僅是恐懼 還是故事,我們應(yīng)該把自己當(dāng)作 這些故事的作者。 但是同樣重要的是,我們需要想象我們自己 是我們恐懼的解讀者,我們選擇如何 去解讀這些恐懼會(huì)對(duì)我們的生活產(chǎn)生深遠(yuǎn)的影響。
Now, some of us naturally read our fears more closely than others. I read about a study recently of successful entrepreneurs, and the author found that these people shared a habit that he called "productive paranoia," which meant that these people, instead of dismissing their fears, these people read them closely, they studied them, and then they translated that fear into preparation and action.
現(xiàn)在,我們中有些人比其他人更自然的解讀自己的恐懼。 最近我看過一個(gè)關(guān)于成功的企業(yè)家的研究, 作者發(fā)現(xiàn)這些人都有個(gè)習(xí)慣 叫做“未雨綢繆“, 意思是,這些人,不回避自己的恐懼, 而是認(rèn)真解讀并研究恐懼, 然后把恐懼轉(zhuǎn)換成準(zhǔn)備和行動(dòng)。
So that way, if their worst fears came true, their businesses were ready.
這樣,如果最壞的事情發(fā)生了, 他們的企業(yè)也有所準(zhǔn)備。
And sometimes, of course, our worst fears do come true. That's one of the things that is so extraordinary about fear. Once in a while, our fears can predict the future.
當(dāng)然,很多時(shí)候,最壞的事情確實(shí)發(fā)生了。 這是恐懼非凡的一面。 曾幾何時(shí),我們的恐懼預(yù)測將來。
But we can't possibly prepare for all of the fears that our imaginations concoct. So how can we tell the difference between the fears worth listening to and all the others? I think the end of the story of the whaleship Essex offers an illuminating, if tragic, example.
但是我們不可能為我們想象力構(gòu)建的所有 恐懼來做準(zhǔn)備。 所以,如何區(qū)分值得聽從的恐懼 和不值得的呢? 我想捕鯨船ESSEX的故事結(jié)局 提供了一個(gè)有啟發(fā)性,同時(shí)又悲慘的例子。
After much deliberation, the men finally made a decision. Terrified of cannibals, they decided to forgo the closest islands and instead embarked on the longer and much more difficult route to South America.
經(jīng)過數(shù)次權(quán)衡,他們最終做出了決定。 由于害怕食人族,他們決定放棄最近的群島 而是開始更長 更艱難的南美洲之旅。
After more than two months at sea, the men ran out of food as they knew they might, and they were still quite far from land. When the last of the survivors were finally picked up by two passing ships, less than half of the men were left alive, and some of them had resorted to their own form of cannibalism.
在海上呆了兩個(gè)多月后,他們 的食物如預(yù)料之中消耗殆盡, 而且他們?nèi)匀浑x陸地那么遠(yuǎn)。 當(dāng)最后的幸存者最終被過往船只救起時(shí), 只有一小半的人還活著, 實(shí)際上他們中的一些人自己變成了食人族。
Herman Melville, who used this story as research for "Moby Dick," wrote years later, and from dry land, quote, "All the sufferings of these miserable men of the Essex might in all human probability have been avoided had they, immediately after leaving the wreck, steered straight for Tahiti.
赫爾曼·梅爾維爾(Herman Melville)將這個(gè)故事作為 《白鯨記》的素材,在數(shù)年后寫到: ESSEX船上遇難者的悲慘結(jié)局 或許是可以通過人為的努力避免的, 如果他們當(dāng)機(jī)立斷地離開沉船, 直奔塔西提群島。
But," as Melville put it, "they dreaded cannibals." So the question is, why did these men dread cannibals so much more than the extreme likelihood of starvation?
“但是”,梅爾維爾說道:“他們害怕食人族” 問題是,為什么這些人對(duì)于食人族的恐懼 超過了更有可能的饑餓威脅呢?
Why were they swayed by one story so much more than the other? Looked at from this angle, theirs becomes a story about reading. The novelist Vladimir Nabokov said that the best reader has a combination of two very different temperaments, the artistic and the scientific.
為什么他們會(huì)被一個(gè)故事 影響如此之大呢? 從另一個(gè)角度來看, 這是一個(gè)關(guān)于解讀的故事。 小說家弗拉基米爾·納博科夫(Vladimir Nabokov)說 最好的讀者能把兩種截然不同的性格結(jié)合起來, 一個(gè)是藝術(shù)氣質(zhì),一個(gè)是科學(xué)精神。
A good reader has an artist's passion, a willingness to get caught up in the story, but just as importantly, the readers also needs the coolness of judgment of a scientist, which acts to temper and complicate the reader's intuitive reactions to the story. As we've seen, the men of the Essex had no trouble with the artistic part.
好的讀者有藝術(shù)家的熱情, 愿意融入故事當(dāng)中, 但是同樣重要的是,這些讀者還要 有科學(xué)家的冷靜判斷, 這能幫助他們穩(wěn)定情緒并分析 其對(duì)故事的直覺反應(yīng)。 我們可以看出來,ESSEX上的人在藝術(shù)部分一點(diǎn)問題都沒有。
They dreamed up a variety of horrifying scenarios. The problem was that they listened to the wrong story. Of all the narratives their fears wrote, they responded only to the most lurid, the most vivid, the one that was easiest for their imaginations to picture: cannibals.
他們夢想到一系列恐怖的場景。 問題在于他們聽從了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的故事。 所有他們恐懼中 他們只對(duì)其中最聳人聽聞,最生動(dòng)的故事, 也是他們想象中最早出現(xiàn)的場景: 食人族。
But perhaps if they'd been able to read their fears more like a scientist, with more coolness of judgment, they would have listened instead to the less violent but the more likely tale, the story of starvation, and headed for Tahiti, just as Melville's sad commentary suggests.
也許,如果他們能像科學(xué)家那樣 稍微冷靜一點(diǎn)解讀這個(gè)故事, 如果他們能聽從不太驚悚但是更可能發(fā)生的 半路餓死的故事,他們可能就會(huì)直奔塔西提群島, 如梅爾維爾充滿惋惜的評(píng)論所建議的那樣。
And maybe if we all tried to read our fears, we too would be less often swayed by the most salacious among them.
也許如果我們都試著解讀自己的恐懼, 我們就能少被 其中的一些幻象所迷惑。
Maybe then we'd spend less time worrying about serial killers and plane crashes, and more time concerned with the subtler and slower disasters we face: the silent buildup of plaque in our arteries, the gradual changes in our climate.
我們也就能少花一點(diǎn)時(shí)間在 為系列殺手或者飛機(jī)失事方面的擔(dān)憂, 而是更多的關(guān)心那些悄然而至 的災(zāi)難: 動(dòng)脈血小板的逐漸堆積, 氣候的逐漸變遷。
Just as the most nuanced stories in literature are often the richest, so too might our subtlest fears be the truest. Read in the right way, our fears are an amazing gift of the imagination, a kind of everyday clairvoyance, a way of glimpsing what might be the future when there's still time to influence how that future will play out.
如同文學(xué)中最精妙的故事通常是最豐富的故事, 我們最細(xì)微的恐懼才是最真實(shí)的恐懼。 用正確的方法的解讀,我們的恐懼就是我們想象力 賜給我們的禮物,借此一雙慧眼, 讓我們能管窺未來 甚至影響未來。
Properly read, our fears can offer us something as precious as our favorite works of literature: a little wisdom, a bit of insight and a version of that most elusive thing -- the truth. Thank you.
如果能得到正確的解讀,我們的恐懼能 和我們最喜歡的文學(xué)作品一樣給我們珍貴的東西: 一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)智慧,一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)洞悉 以及對(duì)最玄妙東西—— 真相的詮釋。 謝謝。
