Good morning,
my name is ,22 years old, born in province. It is really a great honor to have this opportunity for an interview, I would like to answer whatever you may raise, and I hope I can make a good performance today! Now I will introduce myself briefly by three aspects: Strength; Weakness and Achievements!
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.
英文演講稿 篇2
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

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.
英文演講稿 篇4
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.”

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!

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.
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.

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.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges and distinguished guest! This is Alex time! Ha-ha…My topic today is to show our gratitude to people around you.
Then what is gratitude? At the moment a well-known song comes into my mind. Yes, that is called Heart of feel grateful. My heart is filled up with gratitude because I’m with you/Your make me courageous to be myself from cradle to the grave/So now I wanna thank for destiny/I’ll cherish the flower when it blooms until falls. The poetic lyric tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind.
Once upon a time, the Pilgrims took the May Flower Ship to North America. They started a new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they encountered. After a long-time work, they got a big harvest. The Pilgrims had a feast in 1621 near Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is often referred to as the first Thanksgiving. People show their sincere gratitude towards the God, the nature, the earth, the river, the Indians and themselves.
英文演講稿 篇13
Who was the most well-known figure in China last month? It’s Ma JiaJue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates. Many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education. In my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.
Indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society. It’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other. It’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all. It’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.
Some people may say ‘What the students with psychological problems like Ma JiaJue need is not care but psychotherapy.” However, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them. Every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.
I once heard one of my roommates who was an introverted girl sobbing at mid-night. Being afraid of disturbing her, I sent a text message to comfort her. The next day, she told me that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend’s birthday party. She thought she was neglected by others. But my message was really comforting which told her someone still cared about her.
What can we do to prevent the tragedy of Ma JiaJue from happening again? Some people may say ‘Let’s open more psychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘Let’s donate more money for the poor students.’ But I’ll say “My fellow student, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!”
英文演講稿 篇14
With the improvement of the living standards, many people are no longer interested in the simple life style and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty. What they pursue is the latest fashion. In their eyes, thrift is already out of style. However, still other people insist that thrift is a good virtue. They say that the strong power of production doesn t mean that we are supposed to a live a luxurious life, because our natural resources are limited and some of them even are on the decline. Moreover, they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well. As to me, I prefer the latter opinion. I believe Waste not, want not. The truth of this saying is not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency. In fact, economic growth depends
enormously on saving. Besides, there are still millions of Chinese living under poverty line. We can never afford reckless waste. Therefore, it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up.

What is the taste of home? Before I lodge in school dormitory, I neverthink of this question. But, now I know what the taste of home is as I havelived in school for a month. I miss the delicious food cooked by my mother andher endless chatter. My father sits in the middle of the hall watching TV. Thefight between my two younger brothers and the ice cream in the refrigerator makeme feel warm. All these make a house a family. And it is the taste of home in mymind.
什么是家的味道?在我住校前,我從來沒有想過這個問題。但是,如今在我已經住校一個月后我知道什么是家的味道了。我想念我媽媽做的美味食物了,還有她喋喋不休的嘮叨聲。爸爸坐在客廳中間看電視。兩個弟弟的打鬧聲還有冰箱里的冰淇淋都讓我覺得很溫暖。所有這些都使得一個房子成為一個家。這些就是我心目中家的味道。

犯錯的價值
每個人都會避免犯錯,但或許避免犯錯本身就是一種錯誤?請看以下這篇“犯錯家“凱瑟琳舒爾茨告訴我們,或許我們不只該承認錯誤,更應該大力擁抱人性中“我錯故我在“的本質。
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.
當時是95年 我在上大學 我和一個朋友開車去玩 從羅得島的普羅旺斯區(qū)出發(fā) 到奧勒岡州的波特蘭市
And you know, we're young and unemployed, so we do the whole thing on back roads through state parks and national forests -- basically the longest route we can possibly take.
我們年輕、無業(yè) ,于是整個旅程都在鄉(xiāng)間小道 經過州立公園 和國家保護森林 我們盡可能繞著最長的路徑
And somewhere in the middle of South Dakota, I turn to my friend and I ask her a question that's been bothering me for 2,000 miles.
在南達科塔州之中某處 我轉向我的朋友 問她一個 兩千英里路途上 一直煩惱我的問題
"What's up with the Chinese character I keep seeing by the side of the road?"
"路邊那個一直出現(xiàn)的中文字到底是什么?"
My friend looks at me totally blankly.
我的朋友露出疑惑的神情
There's actually a gentleman in the front row who's doing a perfect imitation of her look.
正如現(xiàn)在坐在第一排的這三位男士 所露出的神情一樣
(Laughter) And I'm like, "You know, all the signs we keep seeing with the Chinese character on them."
(笑聲) 我說"你知道的 我們一直看到的那個路牌 寫著中文的那個啊"
She just stares at me for a few moments, and then she cracks up, because she figures out what I'm talking about.
她瞪著我的臉一陣子 突然笑開了 因為她總算知道我所指為何
And what I'm talking about is this.
我說的是這個
(Laughter) Right, the famous Chinese character for picnic area.
(笑聲) 沒錯,這就是代表野餐區(qū)的那個中文字
(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 為什么我們會對身邊的征兆 產生誤解
and how we behave when that happens, and what all of this can tell us about human nature.
當誤解發(fā)生時我們作何反應 以及這一切所告訴我們的人性
In other words, as you heard Chris say, I've spent the last five years thinking about being wrong.
換句話說,就像 Chris 剛才說的 過去五年的時間 我都在思考錯誤的價值
This might strike you as a strange career move, but it actually has one great advantage: no job competition.
你可能覺得這是個奇異的專業(yè) 但有一項好處是不容置疑的: 沒有競爭者。
(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.
(笑聲) 事實上,我們大部分的人 都盡力不思考錯誤的價值 或至少避免想到我們有可能犯錯。
We get it in the abstract.
我們都知道這個模糊的概念。
We all know everybody in this room makes mistakes.
我們都知道這里的每個人都曾經犯錯
The human species, in general, is fallible -- okay fine.
人類本來就會犯錯 - 沒問題
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.
一旦這個想法臨到我們自身 我們現(xiàn)在所有的 所有的信念 對人類可能犯錯的抽象概念隨即被我們拋棄 我無法想到我有哪里出錯
And the thing is, the present tense is where we live.
但是,我們活在現(xiàn)在
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.
我們開會,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)在一個小泡泡里 經歷人生 感覺自己總是對的
I think this is a problem.
我認為這是個問題
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.
我認為這是每個人私人生活 和職業(yè)生活中的問題 我認為我們身為群體,這也造成了文化問題
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 先談談為甚么我們會 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問題
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
最后我想說服大家 克服這種感覺 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)意上最大的進步
So why do we get stuck in this feeling of being right?
為甚么我們會陷在 這種自以為是的心態(tài)中?
One reason actually has to do with a feeling of being wrong.
事實上這和犯錯的感覺有關
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 --
我想問問你們 讓我問問臺上的你們 當你意識到自己犯錯了
how does it feel to be wrong?
你感覺如何?
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 但這些答案沒有回答我的問題
You guys are answering the question: How does it feel to realize you're wrong?
你們回答的問題是: 當你意識到你犯錯的時候,你的感覺如何?
(Laughter) Realizing you're wrong can feel like all of that and a lot of other things, right?
(笑聲) 意識到你犯錯了就會有剛剛所說的這些感覺,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 有時候甚至有些好笑 像我誤以為路牌是中文字
But just being wrong doesn't feel like anything.
但犯錯本身 事實上毫無感覺
I'll give you an analogy.
讓我給你一個例子
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 都會跳下懸崖
which is fine, he's a bird, he can fly.
反正牠是鳥,牠可以飛
But the thing is, the coyote runs off the cliff right after him.
但土狼也會跟著牠一起跳崖
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.
這時候他才會往下掉
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.
在我們犯錯時 在我們意識到我們犯錯時 我們就像那只土狼 還沒意識到自己奔出懸崖
You know, we're already wrong, we're already in trouble, but we feel like we're on solid ground.
我們已經錯了 已經惹上麻煩了 但仍然感覺像走在地上
So I should actually correct something I said a moment ago.
我應該改變我之前的說法
It does feel like something to be wrong; it feels like being right.
犯錯的感覺就和 正確的感覺一樣
(Laughter) So this is one reason, a structural reason, why we get stuck inside this feeling of rightness.
(笑聲) 事實上我們這種自以為對的感受 是有構造性的原因的
I call this error blindness.
我稱之為錯誤盲點
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.
大部份的時間里 我們身體里沒有任何機制 提醒我們錯了 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.
但還有第二個理由 文化性的理由
Think back for a moment to elementary school.
回想小學時代
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) 你從小學時代 就知道該對拿這張考卷的同學 下甚么評語
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 --
你不過才九歲 你已經懂得,首先 那些犯錯的人 都是懶惰、不負責任的傻瓜
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
We learn these really bad lessons really well.
我們很早就得到這些錯誤訊息
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 尤其是這個大廳里的許多人 都因此成為好學生 拿全A
perfectionists, over-achievers.
完美主義、永不滿意
Right, Mr. CFO, astrophysicist, ultra-marathoner?
不是嗎? 財務長、天體物理學家、超級馬拉松先生們?
(Laughter) You're all CFO, astrophysicists, ultra-marathoners, it turns out.
(笑聲) 結果是你們全成了財務長、天體物理學家、跑超級馬拉松
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 就開始手足無措
Because according to this, getting something wrong means there's something wrong with us.
因為依照規(guī)定 犯錯 代表我們一定也有甚么不對勁
So we just insist that we're right, because it makes us feel smart and responsible and virtuous and safe.
于是我們堅持己見 因為那讓我們感覺聰明、得體 安全和可靠
So let me tell you a story.
讓我告訴你們一個故事
A couple of years ago, a woman comes into Beth Israel Deaconess medical center for a surgery.
幾年前 一個女人到 Beth Israel Deaconess 診所做手術
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.
是哈佛大學的教學附屬醫(yī)院 全國數(shù)一數(shù)二的醫(yī)療中心
So this woman comes in and she's taken into the operating room.
這個女人被送進開刀房
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 縫合,將她送進恢復室
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,往自己身上一看 說“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.
她應該接受治療的是右腿 但為他做手術的外科醫(yī)生 卻把刀開在左腿
When the vice president for health care quality at Beth Israel spoke about this incident, he said something very interesting.
當副院長出來為醫(yī)院的醫(yī)療質量 和這次意外做出解釋時 他說了句很有趣的話
He said, "For whatever reason, the surgeon simply felt that he was on the correct side of the patient."
他說“無論如何 這位外科醫(yī)生感覺 他開下的刀是在正確的一側”
(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) 故事的重點是 相信自己的判斷力 相信自己站在對的一邊 是非常危險的
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.
我們心中時常感覺到的 理直氣壯的感覺 在真實世界中 并不是個可靠的向導。
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
當我們依此行事 不再思考我們是否犯錯 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墨西哥灣 或是顛覆世界經濟
So this is a huge practical problem.
這是個很實際的問題
But it's also a huge social problem.
這也是個很大的社會問題
Think for a moment about what it means to feel right.
“感覺對”究竟是什么意思
It means that you think that your beliefs just perfectly reflect reality.
這代表著你認為你的信念 和真實是一致的
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?
當你有這種感覺的時候 你的問題就大了 因為如果你是對的 為甚么還有人和你持不同意見?
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.
第一是當他人不同意我們的說法 我們便覺得他們無知
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 當我們慷慨地和他們分享我們的知識 他們便會理解,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 卻仍然不認同我們 我們便有了下一個定論
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) 他們已經有了所有的信息 卻笨到無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,
一旦第二個定論也不成立 當這些反對我們的人 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.
我們便有了第三個結論 他們知道事實是甚么 但卻為了自己的好處 故意曲解真實。
So this is a catastrophe.
這真是個大災難
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 讓我們在最需要的時候 無法預防犯錯 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.
對我來說 最大的悲劇是 它讓我們錯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.
我們想要每個人和我們有一樣的窗子 對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,人生將會多么無聊
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.
我們記得過去 思考未來 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 于是當我們抬頭看同一個夜空 我們看到這個 這個 和這個
And yeah, it is also why we get things wrong.
這也是我們搞錯事情的原因
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 寫下"Fallor ergo sum" "我錯故我在"
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 我們犯錯的能力 這并不是人性中 一個令人難堪的缺陷 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
Because, unlike God, we don't really know what's going on out there.
因為我們不是上帝 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.
對我來說 這種尋找的沖動 就是我們生產力和創(chuàng)造力的來源
Last year, for various reasons, I found myself listening to a lot of episodes of the Public Radio show This American Life.
因為一些緣故 去年我在廣播上 聽了很多集的"我們的美國人生"
And so I'm listening and I'm listening, and at some point, I start feeling like all the stories are about being wrong.
我聽著聽著 突然發(fā)現(xiàn) 這些故事全和犯錯有關
And my first thought was, "I've lost it.
我的第一個念頭是 “我完了
I've become the crazy wrongness lady.
我寫書寫瘋了
I just imagined it everywhere,"
四處都看到有關犯錯的幻覺”
which has happened.
說真的是這樣
But a couple of months later, I actually had a chance to interview Ira Glass, who's the host of the show.
但幾個月后 我訪問了那個廣播節(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.
你是對的”他說 “我們這些工作人員總是 開玩笑說每集節(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.
這個秘密主題就是 "我以為這件事會這樣發(fā)生 結果其它事情發(fā)生了" 他說"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.
我們喜歡故事轉折 令人驚訝的結局
When it comes to our stories, we love being wrong.
我們喜歡在故事里 看到犯錯
But, you know, our stories are like this because our lives are like this.
但,故事會這樣寫 是因為人生就是這樣
We think this one thing is going to happen and something else happens instead.
我們以為某些事情會這樣發(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 會找到大規(guī)模毀滅性武器 解放中東百姓,為他們帶來民主自由
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 他到死都會是埃及的獨裁者 一直到他年老或臥病 再把他的權力交給下一代
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 你會長大、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 我以為我寫的是一本很冷僻的書 有關一個人人討厭的主題 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.
無論好壞 我們創(chuàng)造了啦 那包圍我們的世界 而世界轉過頭來,令我們大吃一驚
No offense, but this entire conference is an unbelievable monument to our capacity to get stuff wrong.
說真的,這整個會議 充斥著這樣難以置信的時刻 我們一次又一次地意識到自己的錯誤
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,進步 和改善 你知道我們?yōu)樯趺葱枰@些創(chuàng)新
and advancements and improvements?
進步和改善嗎?
Because half the stuff that's the most mind-boggling and world altering -- TED 1998 -- eh.
因為其中有一半 來自最應該改變世界的 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子
We tell another story.
我們有了新的故事
We hold another conference.
我們開了另一個會議
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 如果你還沒有聽到耳朵出油的話 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
對我來說 如果你真的想重新找到想象的力量 你需要離開 那個小小的、自我感覺良好的小圈圈 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 廣大無垠 復雜神秘 然后真正地說 “哇,我不知道
Maybe I'm wrong."
或許我錯了。”
Thank you.
謝謝各位
(Applause) Thank you guys.
(掌聲) 謝謝

Soy food good for women
Women who ate soy regularly as children have a lower risk of breast cancer, American researchers report. And men who eat fish several times a week have a lower risk of colon cancer, a second team of researchers have told the American Association for Cancer Research.
The studies add to a growing body of evidence about the role of diet in cancer. Cancer experts now believe that up to two-thirds of all cancers come from lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet and lack of exercise.
The US National Cancer Institute and researchers at the University of Hawaii found that women who ate the most soy-based foods, such as tofu and miso, when aged 5 to 11, reduced their risk of developing breast cancer by 58 per cent. It was not clear how soy might prevent cancer, though compounds in soy called isoflavones have estrogen-like effects.
A second study showed that men who ate fish at least five times a week had a 40 per cent lower risk of developing colorectal cancer compared with men who ate fish less than once a week.
Many kinds of fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which interfere with the cyclooxygenase-2 or COX-2 enzyme. COX-2 affects inflammation, which may play a role in tumour growth.

英文演講稿 篇22
helping every american with autism achieve their full potential is one of this administration’s top priorities. at the u.s. department of health and human services, we continue to strive to meet the complex needs of all people with autism spectrum disorders (asd) and their families. while there is no cure, early intervention is critical and can greatly improve a child’s development.
perhaps the biggest step we’ve taken to support those affected by autism and their families happened over a year ago, with the signing of the affordable care act. now, new insurance plans are required to cover autism screening and developmental assessments for children at no cost to parents. insurers will also no longer be allowed to deny children coverage for a pre-existing condition such as asd or to set arbitrary lifetime or annual limits on benefits.
also, thanks to the new law, young adults are allowed to stay on their family health insurance until they turn 26. for a young adult with autism spectrum disorder and their family, that means peace of mind. it means more flexibility, more options, and more opportunity to reach their full potential.

There is a famous song called Never Say Never, it is one of my favoritesongs. The lyrics tell people no matter what happens, never to give up, then youwill be successful if you are stick on. Before, I believe in those words, Ithink if people insist, they can do everything. But last week, I saw a TV show,a scholarship told people to learn to give up sometimes, and they could gainmore. He explained that he met a boy who was not good at studying, but he wasskilled in cooking, so he encouraged the boy to give up studying the major thathe was not good at and learned to be a cook. And now, the boy is a famous cook,it proves that give up is not a bad thing, people need to find the right place,or they will not successful.
有一首有名的歌叫《永不言棄》,那是我最喜歡的歌之一。歌詞告訴人們無論發(fā)生了什么,永遠不要放棄,然后你才會成功,如果你不放棄的話。以前,我相信這些話,我覺得如果人們堅持,他們可以做任何事情。但是上周,我看了一個電視節(jié)目,一位學者告訴人們有時候要學著去放棄,他們可以得到更多。他解釋道他遇見過一個男子,擅長做飯,但是并不擅長學習,所以他鼓勵男孩子去放棄他并不擅長的專業(yè),學著去成為一名廚師。現(xiàn)在,男孩是一名出名的廚師,這證明了放棄并不是一件壞事,人們需要找到正確的位置,不然他們不會成功。
英文演講稿 篇24
There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.
英文演講稿 篇25
Pollution has been a serious problem for a certain time around the world.There are many causes for it. Transportation is the main factor of pollution.When the waste gas from cars is released, the air is polluted. People breathingin the polluted air can develop respiratory disease. Another factor is thatpeople throw their garbage everywhere.
All kinds of garbage not only spoil the splendid environment, but alsocause environmental pollution. What's more, industrial pollution also deservesour attention. Wastewater from factories is poured into rivers and this causeswater pollution. As a consequence, the greenhouse effect becomes a problem whichneeds our immediate caution and how to solve is urgent all over the world.
At present, some measures have been taken to prevernt. For example, peopleclassify the garbage and some is recycled after being collected. People are alsoencouraged to use paper products instead of plastic products because we knowthat our living condition will be worse if we keep ignoring this problem. And Ibelieve we can prevent pollution if everyone makes the efforts.
