小學生春節(jié)的英語演講稿范文 篇1
My name is Jie Lidi. Today, my topic is: “Confidence”. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. But What I want to say is that success is the child of confidence. Without confidence, things can become negative and uncomfortable. I remember, during an English class, I wanted to make a sentence using the word "listen". I should have said: "I listen to the Voice of America" but I was too nervous and said "I listen to the Noise of America". Everybody in the class laughed. Since then I wanted to train myself to be confident. Now, confidence makes me brave and courageous. Take this speech for example. I wanted to enter this competition, but I would feel very embarrassed if I made mistakes. Just then, I thought about my dream. My dream is to become a scientist when I grow up. If I am not confident, how can I overcome difficulties I face? If I am not confident, how can I succeed in developing myself in the future? I will do it! Today, I am making a speech in public and I feel proud and confident!
I am sure, in the future, with confidence, I will go forward-always forward. Confidence will make my dreams come true!
Thank you!

My Chinese Dream
我的中國夢
I am very glad to stand here to give thier a short speech.Today my topic is that the youth are the future of motherland
很高興站在這里做這篇短小的演講,我演講的主題是青年是祖國的未來。
When preparing for the English speech contest, I simply want to search some articles as the contents of my speech. I read a lot of articles, some from the university professor, some from the famous host, some from the college students, and even from junior high school students. But after reading it, I gave up the idea, I even felt shameful. Today,the topic I want to talk about is a solemn and serious theme full of glory and pride, which is a common aspiration of all our Chinese. Every Chinese has his own dream of China, and of course, there is a dream lingering in my heart only belongs to my own.
在準備英語演講比賽的時候,我本想簡單地從網上搜索一些文章作為我演講的內容。我看過很多文章,有著名主持人的、北大教授的、大學生的,也有初中生的。但是看完之后,我放棄了當初的想法,我甚至為當初的想法感到有一些羞愧。因為今天我站在這里向大家演講的主題,是一個莊重而嚴肅的主題;是一個充滿榮耀與自豪的主題;是每一個中華兒女共同期盼的主題。每個人都有屬于他們自己的中國夢,而我,當然也有一直縈繞在心懷只屬于我的中國夢。
So what’s my Chinese dream ? Finally I will announce.
We had learned a lot of knowledge and understood a lot of truth in the book. We had a basic concept to our country at that time. We know that our country is full of sunshine , and we are the future of our country, and our dreams are to be the hope of our motherland.
我的中國夢是什么樣的?先賣個關子。
記得剛剛上學那會兒,我們天真無邪。在課本里,我們學到了很多很多知識,也明白了很多很多道理,我們對祖國也有了一個最基本的概念。我們知道我們的祖國到處充滿陽光,正在慢慢發(fā)展,而我們,就是祖國未來的花朵,未來的希望。我們夢想將來能夠成為祖國的希望。
However,We don't know what time to start,We are grow up,Life became not the same, though we don’t want to admit, it’s the truth that our mind and attitude to our country is changing. Our society became full of deception, indifference, intrigue, pressure, corruption, sinister, and we became irritable and not calm, detest the world and its ways. Our country seems to have become in a disastrous state too. A lot of young students who were nurtured by our motherland became impatient, let alone what are their dreams , what is the china dream ?
這,是我們最初的中國夢。最真誠的我們,最真誠的夢。
但是,不知道什么時候開始,我們長大了,生活似乎一下子變得和以前不太一樣了,與此同時,雖然我們很不想承認但是卻又不得不承認的是,我們的思想,我們的為人處世觀,我們對我們祖國的看法,也潛移默化中慢慢開始了轉變。我們的社會變得到處充滿欺騙、冷漠、勾心斗角、壓力、腐敗、險惡,我們變得暴躁,不冷靜,憤世嫉俗。我們的國家,似乎也開始變得千瘡百孔。而好多我們親愛的祖國委以重任培養(yǎng)的青年學生們變得輕浮、急躁,更別提什么夢想,什么中國夢了?
I was surprised ,when the old man fell down in the street,We are afraid to help him.I was disappointed ,when someone do good things were reported,many people think he was affectation, I was sad,when I saw many of young people become indifferent ,fraud and lack of ideal.
Are we sick, or is our dear motherland sick?
我很驚訝,當大街上有老人摔倒,我們不敢再去扶起;我很難過,當有人做了好事被報道,更多的人說他做作;我很傷心,當我看到我們眾多的青年人變得冷漠、市儈、欺詐以及缺乏理想。
到底是我們病了,還是我們親愛的祖國病了?
I don't want to talk about the construction of our country politics, and also speak impassioned speech on the Diaoyu Island event .I just want to appeal young people,showing the side of youth,good and confidence.We must learn to organize our own thoughts, correct our own concept, and change our direction to the right side in future life. China dream actually lies in our young generation, especially of the intellectuals.
我的中國夢,不想大談政治,也不想對釣魚島事件發(fā)表慷慨激昂的演講。我只想呼吁,呼吁我們年輕人,呼吁我們祖國的希望能夠將我們的青春一面,將我們的善良一面,將我們的自信一面好好展現出來。我們要學會整理自己的思想,端正自己看問題的觀念,擺正自己的人生方向。我們的中國夢實際上正掌握在我們自己手上,掌握在我們年青一代,尤其是知識分子手上。
Perhaps the strength of a person is small, but when his or her fate is connected with the motherland, he or she will be hero or heroine. Perhaps a dream is tiny, but when it becomes the dream of a country, it becomes inestimable. Perhaps I cannot change our country by my own, but if thousands and thousands of young people struggle for the dream together, our motherland is enough to make the world shock.
也許,一個人,是渺小的;但是當他和祖國聯(lián)系起來時,就是偉大的。也許,一個夢想,是渺小的,但是當它成為祖國的夢想時,就是不可估量的。也許,我無法用自己一個人的力量撬起整個中國,但是我們千千萬萬年輕人一起為祖國的夢想去奮斗時,我們的祖國就足以令世界顫抖、動容。
I dream to construct our beauty China with millions of young people who have the same dream. We do it without exaggeration but only with persistence.
我夢想和萬千具有相同夢想的年輕人去建設我們的美麗中國,沒有虛浮,只有執(zhí)著,只有奮斗,只有勇于擔當。這就是我的中國夢!
That is my speech,thanks everyone.
我的演講就到這里,謝謝大家。
小學生春節(jié)的英語演講稿范文 篇3
I can never forget the summer in 1996. I went through an extremity ofdespair due to my failure in the National College Entrance Examination. Itseemed that my dream of being a university student would never come true. Oneevening my father came and told me the story of Steven Callahan, who wascrossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.It was a miracle that he survived and was found 76 days later(the longest anyonehas survived a shipwreck on a life raft alone). Later in his narrative he wrotethese sentences “I tell myself I can handle it .Compared to what others havebeen through I’m fortunate”.
Hearing these sentences I felt something important struck me. I belived mylife would mot be that bad and it was proved to be true. Later during my studyin the university I always told myself “I can handle it” when my own goalsseemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming and every time I saidit ,I always came back to my senses.
Now I work as an English teacher in a middle school. Whenever my studentscomplain about their difficulties in study or want to give up, I will tell thesame story of Callahan to them. I just want to make them believe they can handletheir difficulties because their circumstances are only bad compared tosomething better. But others have been through much worse. Then they will buildup fortitude.
So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that cangive us strength. Whatever you’re going through, tell yourself you can handleit. Compared to what others have been through, you’re fortunate. Tell this toyourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots withlittle more fortitude.
我永生難忘1996年的夏天。由于我在高考中的失利,我感到了極度的失望,我要成為一名大學生的夢想似乎是無法實現了。一天傍晚,我的父親來給我講了一個關于史蒂文·卡拉漢的故事,史蒂文獨自駕駛著帆船橫渡大西洋,途中船遇難下沉,但是他卻活了下來并在76天后被人發(fā)現。(他是世界上遇海灘在救生艇中存活最長時間的人了)。后來卡拉漢在他的敘述中寫到“我告訴自己一定可以挺過去的,跟別人的遭遇相比,我已經算是幸運的了”。
聽了這些話,我被深深地震撼了,我相信我的生活不會太差而事實也證明了這一點,后來我得到了進入大學學習的機會,在大學學習期間,當我覺得自己的目標似乎遙不可及或者我遇到了似乎無法解決的問題時,我就勉勵自己說“我能挺過去的”而每每念及這句話,我總能有所醒悟。
現在我在一所中學教英語,每當學生們報怨學習的困難或是想放棄時,我就給他們講卡拉漢的故事,我就是想讓他們相信他們可以從困難中挺過去的,因為困境都是相對而言的,有些人比我們更不幸,然后他們就會在自己心中建立起永不放棄的信念。
從這個大難不死的故事中,我們學到了能給予我們勇氣與力量的話語,無論你遭遇了什么,都要對你自己說:一定能挺過去的。與其他人的不幸相比,你已經算是很幸運了,要一遍一遍地用此話鼓勵自己,這個信念會使你更有信心渡過難關。
小學生春節(jié)的英語演講稿范文 篇4
Hello, everyone! Good afternoon! I am very glad to have the chance to make this speech. My topic is: how to achieve success. First of all, let us see a story.
“Long long ago, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the men who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king gave them three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, there came up a handsome young prince in the king's palace." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, Prince successfully passed all the challenge and got the heart of the princess in time. And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily ever after."
Why aren't we tired of this story so beautiful, so uealistic (, I would say, so unimaginative ? How can a story like that can enduregenerations of repetition? The reason, I think, is that a typical success story like this is so close to our daily life. Moreover we can understand so deeply, it is not just a story, but a good will from people’s inner heart. By implication, we see a 4-step definitions of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess. So you’d better find your princess as soon as possible; 2 ) challenges to be meet, as represented by the three tasks. Only if you directly meet the challenge, can you besuccessful; 3 ) the process of overcoming difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage. That’s all! Find your princess, meet challenges, overcome difficulties, and have a good life.
Thank you!
譯文:成功之我見
“很久以前,有個國王,他的女兒貌美如花。老國王向所有來求婚的男士提出了三個任務作為挑戰(zhàn),而每一項任務都異常艱巨,
幾乎不可能完成。一天,來了一位年輕英俊的王子”好了,下面的故事你們都知道了。三項任務在不同的版本中各不相同,但關鍵部分的情節(jié)都如出一轍:王子成功地過關,得到了公主的芳心。而故事的結局也都一樣,最后一句都寫道:“從此他們幸福地生活在一起。
為什么我們對如此美妙、如此不切實際,而我要說,如此缺乏想象力的東西這么樂此不疲呢?這樣的故事又如何能夠經歷幾代人的重復?我想,因為它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很強,具有代表性。通過故事帶給我們的啟示,我們認識到了成功定義中的四個步驟;第一,目標的設定,有如故事里美麗的公主;第二,所遇到的困難和挑戰(zhàn),就像三大任務;第三,克服困難的過程,故事中青年經歷重重難關可以作為象征;第四,就是成功的果實,如同幸福的婚姻。

The power of yet.
專注過程,而不是結果。
I heard about a highschool in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses tograduate, and if they didn't pass a course, they got the grade "NotYet." And I thought that was fantastic, because if you get a failinggrade, you think, I'm nothing, I'm nowhere. But if you get the grade "NotYet" you understand that you're on a learning curve. It gives you a pathinto the future.
我聽說,在芝加哥有一所高中,那兒的學生畢業(yè)前要通過一系列課程,如果某一門課沒有通過,成績就是「暫未通過」。我想,這真是個絕妙的做法,因為,如果你某門課的成績不及格,你會想,我什么都不是,我什么都沒有學到。但如果你的成績是「暫未通過」,你會明白,學習的步伐并沒有停下,你還需逐步向前,爭取未來。
"Not Yet"also gave me insight into a critical event early in my career, a real turningpoint. I wanted to see how children coped with challenge and difficulty, so Igave 10-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. Some of them reactedin a shockingly positive way. They said things like, "I love achallenge," or, "You know, I was hoping this would beinformative."
「暫未通過」也讓我聯(lián)想起一件尤為重要的、發(fā)生在我職業(yè)生涯初期的事情,這件事對我而言是一個轉折點。當時,我想探究孩子是如何應對挑戰(zhàn)和困難的,因此,我讓一些10歲大的孩子嘗試解決一些對于他們而言稍稍偏難的問題。一些孩子積極應對的方式讓我感到震驚。他們會這樣說,「我喜歡挑戰(zhàn),」或說,「你知道的,我希望能有所獲!
They understood that their abilities could be developed.They had what I call a growth mindset. But other students felt it was tragic,catastrophic. From their more fixed mindset perspective, their intelligence hadbeen up for judgment and they failed. Instead of luxuriating in the power ofyet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now.
這些孩子明白,他們的能力是可以提升的。他們有我所說的成長型思維模式。但另一些孩子覺得面對這些難題是不幸,宛如面對一場災難。從他們的固定型思維角度來看,他們的才智受到了評判,而他們失敗了。他們不懂得享受學習的過程,而只盯住眼前的成與敗。
So what do they donext? I'll tell you what they do next. In one study, they told us they wouldprobably cheat the next time instead of studying more if they failed a test. Inanother study, after a failure, they looked for someone who did worse than theydid so they could feel really good about themselves. And in study after study,they have run from difficulty.
這些孩子們后面表現如何?讓我告訴你他們的表現。在一項研究中,他們告訴我們,如果他們某次考試未通過,他們很可能會在下次考試中作弊,而不是更加努力地學習。在另一項研究中,他們掛了一門后,他們會找到那些考得還不如他們高的孩子,以尋求自我安慰。后續(xù)的研究陸續(xù)表明,他們會逃避困難。
Scientists measured the electrical activity fromthe brain as students confronted an error. On the left, you see the fixedmindset students. There's hardly any activity. They run from the error. Theydon't engage with it. But on the right, you have the students with the growthmindset, the idea that abilities can be developed. They engage deeply. Theirbrain is on fire with yet. They engage deeply. They process the error. Theylearn from it and they correct it.
科學家們監(jiān)測了學生們面對錯誤時的腦電活動圖像。在左側,是固定型思維模式的學生,幾乎沒有什么活動。他們在錯誤面前選擇了逃避。他們沒有積極地投入。但請看右側,這是成長型思維模式的學生,這些學生相信能力會通過鍛煉得以提升。他們積極地應對錯誤。他們的大腦在高速運轉,他們積極地投入,他們剖析錯誤,從中學習,最終訂正。
How are we raising ourchildren? Are we raising them for now instead of yet? Are we raising kids whoare obsessed with getting A's? Are we raising kids who don't know how to dreambig dreams? Their biggest goal is getting the next A or the next test score?
如今我們是如何教育孩子的呢?是教育他們專注眼前,而不是注重過程嗎?我們培育了一些迷戀刷A的孩子們嗎?我們培育了沒有遠大理想的孩子們嗎?他們最遠大的目標就是再拿一個A,心里所想的就是下一次考試嗎?
And are they carrying this need for constant validation with them into theirfuture lives? Maybe, because employers are coming to me and saying, we havealready raised a generation of young workers who can't get through the daywithout an award.
他們在今后的生活中,都以分數的高低來評判自己嗎?或許是的,因為企業(yè)雇主們跑來找我,說我們養(yǎng)育的這新一代走上工作崗位的人,如果不給他們獎勵,他們一天都過不下去。
So what can we do? Howcan we build that bridge to yet?
我們該怎么做呢?如何讓孩子注重過程而不是結果呢?
Here are some things wecan do. First of all, we can praise wisely, not praising intelligence ortalent. That has failed. Don't do that anymore. But praising the process thatkids engage in: their effort, their strategies, their focus, theirperseverance, their improvement. This process praise creates kids who are hardyand resilient.
我們可以做這樣幾件事。首先,我們可以有技巧地去表揚:不去表揚天分或才智,這行不通。不要再這樣做了。而是要對孩子積極投入的過程進行表揚:他們的努力與策略,他們的專注、堅持與進步。對過程的表揚,會塑造孩子的韌性。
There are other ways toreward yet. We recently teamed up with game scientists from the University ofWashington to create a new online math game that rewarded yet. In this game,students were rewarded for effort, strategy and progress. The usual math gamerewards you for getting answers right right now, but this game rewardedprocess. And we got more effort, more strategies, more engagement over longerperiods of time, and more perseverance when they hit really, really hardproblems.
還有其他的辦法來獎勵過程。最近,我們與來自華盛頓大學的游戲研究者合作,制作了一款獎勵過程的數學游戲。在這個游戲中,學生們因他們的努力、策略與進步而受到獎勵。通常的數學游戲中,玩家只有在解得正確答案后才能得到獎勵,但這個游戲獎勵過程。隨著游戲的深入,孩子們更加努力,想出更多的策略,身心更加投入,當遇到尤為困難的問題時,他們也展現了更為持久的韌勁。
Just the words"yet" or "not yet," we're finding, give kids greaterconfidence, give them a path into the future that creates greater persistence.And we can actually change students' mindsets. In one study, we taught themthat every time they push out of their comfort zone to learn something new anddifficult, the neurons in their brain can form new, stronger connections, andover time they can get smarter.
我們發(fā)現,注重過程的思維模式,會賦予孩子們更多自信,指引他們不斷向前,越發(fā)堅持不懈。事實上,我們能夠改變學生的思維模式。在一項研究中,我們告訴學生們,每當他們迫使自己走出舒適區(qū),學習新知識,迎接新挑戰(zhàn),大腦中的神經元會形成新的、更強的連接,他們會逐漸變得越來越聰明。
Look what happened: inthis study, students who were not taught this growth mindset continued to showdeclining grades over this difficult school transition, but those who weretaught this lesson showed a sharp rebound in their grades. We have shown thisnow, this kind of improvement, with thousands and thousands of kids, especiallystruggling students.
看看后面發(fā)生了什么吧:在這項研究中,沒有接受成長型思維模式訓練的學生,在這一困難的過渡階段,成績持續(xù)下滑,但那些受過該訓練的學生,成績強勢反彈,卓有起色。如今,我們已證實這一結論,通過成千上萬個孩子的實例,尤其是那些在學業(yè)上掙扎的孩子。
So let's talk aboutequality. In our country, there are groups of students who chronically underperform,for example, children in inner cities, or children on Native Americanreservations. And they've done so poorly for so long that many people thinkit's inevitable. But when educators create growth mindset classrooms steeped inyet, equality happens.
那我們就來談談教育平等吧。在我們國家,有些特定區(qū)域的孩子總是在學業(yè)上處于下游,比如,內城區(qū)的孩子,或印第安人居留地里的孩子。長期以來這里的孩子都沒什么起色, 以致于很多人認為沒的救了。但是當教育家們將孩子的思維轉變?yōu)槌砷L型思維模式時,教育平等實現了。
And here are just a few examples. In one year, akindergarten class in Harlem, New York scored in the 95th percentile on theNational Achievement Test. Many of those kids could not hold a pencil when theyarrived at school. In one year, fourth grade students in the South Bronx, waybehind, became the number one fourth grade class in the state of New York onthe state math test. In a year to a year and a half, Native American studentsin a school on a reservation went from the bottom of their district to the top,and that district included affluent sections of Seattle. So the native kidsoutdid the Microsoft kids.
舉幾個例子吧。紐約哈萊姆區(qū)的一所幼兒園的學生在一年的時間內,國家水平測試(NationalAchievement Test) 成績飛躍到前百分之五。這些孩子中有很多在入學時甚至還不會握筆。一年之內,遠遠落后的南布朗克斯區(qū)的四年級學生,其標準數學測試成績攀升到紐約州所有四年級學生的第一名。在一年到一年半的時間內, 某印第安人居留地的一所學校里的學生成績從全區(qū)墊底到名列前茅,而這個區(qū)包括了西雅圖市的富饒地段。印第安孩子戰(zhàn)勝了「微軟」孩子。
This happened becausethe meaning of effort and difficulty were transformed. Before, effort anddifficulty made them feel dumb, made them feel like giving up, but now, effortand difficulty, that's when their neurons are making new connections, strongerconnections. That's when they're getting smarter.
這得以實現的原因,是努力與困難的意義在孩子心目中發(fā)生了改變。在此之前,努力與困難讓他們感覺自己很笨,讓他們想放棄,但如今,正是努力與困難讓他們大腦中的神經元得以形成新的連接,更強的連接。正是在這個過程中,他們變得越來越聰明。
I received a letterrecently from a 13-year-old boy. He said, "Dear Professor Dweck, Iappreciate that your writing is based on solid scientific research, and that'swhy I decided to put it into practice. I put more effort into my schoolwork,into my relationship with my family, and into my relationship with kids atschool, and I experienced great improvement in all of those areas. I nowrealize I've wasted most of my life."
最近,我收到一個13歲男孩的來信。他說,「親愛的德韋克教授,我欣賞你的著作,因為它們都基于可靠的科學試驗,因此,我決定將你的方法付諸實踐。我更用功地學習,更用心地處好與家人的關系,與同學的關系,而在這些方面我都有了長足的進步,F在我才意識到,過去浪費了太多生命!
Let's not waste anymore lives, because once we know that abilities are capable of such growth, itbecomes a basic human right for children, all children, to live in places thatcreate that growth, to live in places filled with yet.
讓我們不再浪費生命, 因為,既然我們知道 能力可以增長,那么,生活在一個能激發(fā)進步并讓這一切變得可能的地方就是每個孩子的權利。
Thank you.(Applause)
謝謝。(掌聲)
小學生春節(jié)的英語演講稿范文 篇7
When Dorothy was a little girl, she wasfascinated by her goldfish. Her father explained to her that fish swim byquickly wagging their tails to propel themselves through the water. Withouthesitation, little Dorothy responded, "Yes, Daddy, and fish swim backwardsby wagging their heads."
當多蘿西還是一個小女孩的時候,她被她的金魚迷住了。她的父親向她解釋,魚是通過快速搖尾推動自己在水中前進。毫無猶豫地,小多蘿西回答道,“是的,爸爸,而且魚會通過搖頭來后退!
In her mind, it was a fact as true as anyother. Fish swim backwards by wagging their heads. She believed it.
在她的心里,這是一個確切的事實。魚通過搖頭來后退。她堅信如此。
Our lives are full of fish swimmingbackwards. We make assumptions and faulty leaps of logic. We harbor bias. Weknow that we are right, and they are wrong. We fear the worst. We strive forunattainable perfection. We tell ourselves what we can and cannot do. In ourminds, fish swim by in reverse frantically wagging their heads and we don'teven notice them.
我們的生活中充滿著倒游的魚。我們制造假設和錯誤跳躍的邏輯。我們心懷偏見。我們知道我們是對的,而他們是錯的。我們害怕最糟糕的。我們力求無法獲得的完美。我們告訴自己什么是我們能做的和不能做的。在我們心里,魚是通過往相反方向瘋狂搖頭來游泳的,而我們甚至不曾察覺過它們。
I'm going to tell you five facts aboutmyself. One fact is not true. One: I graduated from Harvard at 19 with anhonors degree in mathematics. Two: I currently run a construction company inOrlando. Three: I starred on a television sitcom. Four: I lost my sight to arare genetic eye disease. Five: I served as a law clerk to two US Supreme Courtjustices. Which fact is not true? Actually, they're all true. Yeah. They're alltrue.
我想告訴你們五件關于我的事實。其中有一件不是真的。第一:我19歲的時候以數學榮譽學士學位畢業(yè)于哈佛大學。第二:我現在在奧蘭多經營著一家建筑公司。第三:我主演過一部電視情景劇。第四:我因為患上一種罕有的遺傳性眼疾而失去了視力。第五:我曾經給兩位美國最高法院的法官當過法律助手。哪一個不是真的呢?事實上,它們都是真的。是的,它們都是真的。
At this point, most people really only careabout the television show.
這時候,大部分人其實都只關心那部電視劇。
I know this from experience. OK, so theshow was NBC's "Saved by the Bell: The New Class." And I playedWeasel Wyzell, who was the sort of dorky, nerdy character on the show, whichmade it a very major acting challenge for me as a 13-year-old boy.
這是經驗告訴我的。好吧,那部電視劇是NBC的“SavedbytheBell:TheNewClass."而我飾演了WeaselWyzell,一個在劇中帶點笨拙書呆子性格的角色,對于13歲的我來說,這是一個很重大的演出挑戰(zhàn)。
Now, did you struggle with number four, myblindness? Why is that? We make assumptions about so-called disabilities. As ablind man, I confront others' incorrect assumptions about my abilities everyday. My point today is not about my blindness, however. It's about my vision.Going blind taught me to live my life eyes wide open. It taught me to spotthose backwards-swimming fish that our minds create. Going blind cast them intofocus.
現在,你是否糾結于第四個事實,我的失明?為什么會這樣呢?我們對所謂的殘疾做出一些假設。作為盲人,我每天都面對別人對我能力的錯誤假設。然而,我今天的重點不在于我的失明。而是在于我的視野。失明教會我用開闊的眼界去生活。它教會我去發(fā)現那些倒游的魚,我們內心創(chuàng)造出來的魚。失明使它們變成了焦點。
What does it feel like to see? It'simmediate and passive. You open your eyes and there's the world. Seeing isbelieving. Sight is truth. Right? Well, that's what I thought.
看得見是怎么樣的一種感覺?是即時并且被動的。你睜開雙眼,世界就在你眼前?匆娛裁聪嘈攀裁。眼見為實。對吧?好吧,我當初是這么想的。
Then, from age 12 to 25, my retinasprogressively deteriorated. My sight became an increasingly bizarre carnivalfunhouse hall of mirrors and illusions. The salesperson I was relieved to spotin a store was really a mannequin. Reaching down to wash my hands, I suddenlysaw it was a urinal I was touching, not a sink, when my fingers felt its trueshape.
接著,從12歲到15歲,我的視網膜逐漸衰弱。我的視像變成了愈加奇異的嘉年華游樂場里的哈哈鏡。我在商店里好不容易發(fā)現的銷售員實際上是一個人體模型。俯下身去洗手,當我的手指感受到它的真實形狀,我意識到我去觸摸的是小便池,而不是洗手池。
A friend described the photograph in my hand, and only then I could seethe image depicted. Objects appeared, morphed and disappeared in my reality. Itwas difficult and exhausting to see. I pieced together fragmented, transitoryimages, consciously analyzed the clues, searched for some logic in my crumblingkaleidoscope, until I saw nothing at all.
一位朋友向我描述我手中的照片,只有在那時候我才能明白圖像描畫了些什么。物體在我的現實中出現、變形和消失?匆姵蔀榱艘患щy的使我筋疲力盡的事情。我把支離破碎的、片刻的圖像拼接起來,憑感覺分析線索,在我破碎的萬花筒中尋找符合邏輯的對應,直到我什么都看不見。
I learned that what we see is not universaltruth. It is not objective reality. What we see is a unique, personal, virtualreality that is masterfully constructed by our brain.
我認識到我們所看到的并不即是普遍真理。并不是客觀現實。我們所看到的是獨一無二的虛擬現實,它是由我們的大腦巧妙地構造出來的。
Let me explain with a bit of amateurneuroscience. Your visual cortex takes up about 30 percent of your brain.That's compared to approximately eight percent for touch and two to threepercent for hearing. Every second, your eyes can send your visual cortex as manyas two billion pieces of information. The rest of your body can send your brainonly an additional billion. So sight is one third of your brain by volume andcan claim about two thirds of your brain's processing resources. It's nosurprise then that the illusion of sight is so compelling. But make no mistakeabout it: sight is an illusion.
請讓我以外行的身份解釋一遍神經系統(tǒng)學。你的視覺皮層占據了你腦部的大概30%。相比于觸覺的8%以及聽覺的2-3%。每一秒鐘,你的雙眼能夠向你的視覺皮層傳達多達二十億的信息片段。其余的身體部分加起來也僅能夠傳達另外的十億。所以視覺占據了你腦部容量的三分之一并且占用了你腦部中三分之二的信息處理資源。因此意想得到的是視覺幻象是多么的令人信服。但是別誤會了:我們所看到的只是一種幻象。
Here's where it gets interesting. To createthe experience of sight, your brain references your conceptual understanding ofthe world, other knowledge, your memories, opinions, emotions, mentalattention. All of these things and far more are linked in your brain to yoursight. These linkages work both ways, and usually occur subconsciously. So for example, what you see impacts how you feel, and the way you feel can literally change what you see.
這是事情變得有趣的地方。為了制造視覺經驗,你的大腦參考了你對這個世界的概念性理解,其它知識、你的記憶、看法、情緒和心理關注。所有的這些東西和以及其它的都連結于你的大腦和視覺景象之間。這些連結是雙向作用的,并且常常在潛意識中發(fā)生。舉例子來說,你所看到的會影響到你的感覺,而你的感覺又能夠直接改變你所看到的。
Numerous studies demonstrate this. If you are asked toestimate the walking speed of a man in a video, for example, your answer willbe different if you're told to think about cheetahs or turtles. A hill appearssteeper if you've just exercised, and a landmark appears farther away if you'rewearing a heavy backpack. We have arrived at a fundamental contradiction.
許多的研究證明了這一點。如果你被要求去估計視頻中人物的行走速度,舉例來說,在被告知去想著獵豹或者烏龜的情況下,你的答案將會不一樣。如果你剛剛運動完,你會感覺山變陡峭了,如果你背著一個很重的背包,眼前的目的地看起來距離更遠。我們在這里遇到了一種基本的矛盾。
What you see is a complex mental construction of your own making, but you experienceit passively as a direct representation of the world around you. You createyour own reality, and you believe it. I believed mine until it broke apart. Thedeterioration of my eyes shattered the illusion.
你肉眼所看到的東西是你自己創(chuàng)造的一種復雜的心智建造,但是你被動地經歷著它讓它作為你周遭世界的一種直接呈現。你創(chuàng)造了屬于你自己的現實并且深信著它。我深信于我的現實直到它瓦解了。我雙眼的衰退粉碎了這種幻象。
You see, sight is just one way we shape ourreality. We create our own realities in many other ways. Let's take fear asjust one example. Your fears distort your reality. Under the warped logic offear, anything is better than the uncertain. Fear fills the void at all costs,passing off what you dread for what you know, offering up the worst in place ofthe ambiguous, substituting assumption for reason. Psychologists have a greatterm for it: awfulizing.
你看,視覺只是我們認識世界的一種途徑。我們可以通過許多其它的方式去創(chuàng)造屬于我們自己的現實。讓我們來舉恐懼作為一個例子。你的恐懼扭曲了你的現實。在扭曲的恐懼邏輯影響下,任何事情都比未知要好?謶植幌б磺写鷥r填補空白,把你所懼怕的冒充成你所知道的,讓最糟糕取代了不明確,使假設代替了原因。心理學家對此有一個很好的術語:往壞處想。
Right? Fear replaces the unknown with theawful. Now, fear is self-realizing. When you face the greatest need to lookoutside yourself and think critically, fear beats a retreat deep inside yourmind, shrinking and distorting your view, drowning your capacity for criticalthought with a flood of disruptive emotions. When you face a compellingopportunity to take action, fear lulls you into inaction, enticing you topassively watch its prophecies fulfill themselves.
對吧?恐懼把未知的替換成了可怕的,F在,恐懼在自我實現著。當你非常迫切的需要去客觀看待自己并進行批判性思考的時候,恐懼在你的內心深處打起了退堂鼓,收縮并扭曲你的觀點,以洪水般涌現的破壞性情緒淹沒你批判思考的能力。當你面對一個極具吸引力的機會去采取行動時,恐懼誤導你去無所作為,誘使你被動地看著它的預言一個個實現成真。
When I was diagnosed with my blindingdisease, I knew blindness would ruin my life. Blindness was a death sentencefor my independence. It was the end of achievement for me. Blindness meant Iwould live an unremarkable life, small and sad, and likely alone. I knew it.This was a fiction born of my fears, but I believed it. It was a lie, but itwas my reality, just like those backwards-swimming fish in little Dorothy'smind. If I had not confronted the reality of my fear, I would have lived it. Iam certain of that.
當我被診出患有致盲眼疾時,我料到失明將會毀了我的生活。失明對我的獨立能力判了死刑。它是我一生成就的終點。失明意味著我將度過平凡的一生,渺小且凄慘,極有可能孤獨終老。我就知道會這樣。這是我因為恐懼帶來的胡編亂造,但我相信了。它是一個謊言,但它曾是我的現實。就像小多蘿西內心那些倒游的魚一樣。如若我不曾面對過我內心恐懼創(chuàng)造出來的現實,我會就那樣活著。我很確定。
So how do you live your life eyes wideopen? It is a learned discipline. It can be taught. It can be practiced. I willsummarize very briefly.
所以你們如何去以開闊的眼界生活呢?這是一個需要學習的學科。它能被傳授。它能被練習。我簡單地總結一下。
Hold yourself accountable for every moment,every thought, every detail. See beyond your fears. Recognize your assumptions.Harness your internal strength. Silence your internal critic. Correct yourmisconceptions about luck and about success. Accept your strengths and yourweaknesses, and understand the difference. Open your hearts to your bountifulblessings.
讓自己學會負責,對每一時刻,每個想法,每個細節(jié)。超越你內心的恐懼。識別出你所作的假設。展現你內在的能力。消除你內心的批判。修正你對于運氣和成功的錯誤概念。接受自己的長處和短處,并清楚認識它們之間的區(qū)別。打開你的心扉去迎接對你滿滿的祝福。
Your fears, your critics, your heroes, yourvillains -- they are your excuses, rationalizations, shortcuts, justifications,your surrender. They are fictions you perceive as reality. Choose to seethrough them. Choose to let them go. You are the creator of your reality. Withthat empowerment comes complete responsibility.
你的恐懼,你的批判,你的英雄,你的敵人——他們都是你的借口、合理化作用、捷徑、辯護、屈服。它們是你錯認為現實的小說。嘗試選擇看穿它們。嘗試讓它們遠離自己。你是自我現實的創(chuàng)造者。伴隨這種權利而來的是你需要負起全部的責任。
I chose to step out of fear's tunnel intoterrain uncharted and undefined. I chose to build there a blessed life. Farfrom alone, I share my beautiful life with Dorothy, my beautiful wife, with ourtriplets, whom we call the Tripskys, and with the latest addition to thefamily, sweet baby Clementine.
我選擇走出恐懼的隧道,步入了未知的領域。我選擇在那里構建幸福的人生。遠離孤單,我分享我的美好生活,與多蘿西,我美麗的妻子,與我們的三胞胎,我們稱之為“Tripskys”,還有新添的家庭成員,可愛的寶貝克萊蒙蒂。
What do you fear? What lies do you tellyourself? How do you embellish your truth and write your own fictions? Whatreality are you creating for yourself?
你在害怕什么?你在欺騙自己什么?你是如何修飾自己的真相,編寫自己的小說?你在為自己創(chuàng)造著怎么樣的現實?
In your career and personal life, in yourrelationships, and in your heart and soul, your backwards-swimming fish do yougreat harm. They exact a toll in missed opportunities and unrealized potential,and they engender insecurity and distrust where you seek fulfillment andconnection. I urge you to search them out.
在你的職業(yè)生涯和個人生活中,在你的人際關系中,在你的內心和靈魂中,倒游的魚給你帶來巨大的傷害。它們使你為錯失的機會以及尚未實現的潛能付出代價。它們在你尋求滿足與聯(lián)系時引起你的不安以及不信任。我呼吁大家把它們找出來。
Helen Keller said that the only thing worsethan being blind is having sight but no vision. For me, going blind was aprofound blessing, because blindness gave me vision. I hope you can see what Isee.
海倫·凱勒曾說過,唯一比失明更糟糕的是擁有視力,卻沒有遠見。失明對我來說是一種深深的祝福,因為失明給予了我遠見。我衷心希望你們也能看見我所看見的。
Thank you.(Applause)
謝謝。(掌聲)
Bruno Giussani: Isaac, before you leave thestage, just a question. This is an audience of entrepreneurs, of doers, ofinnovators. You are a CEO of a company down in Florida, and many are probablywondering, how is it to be a blind CEO? What kind of specific challenges do youhave, and how do you overcome them?
布魯諾·朱薩尼:艾薩克,在你離開之前,我想問一個問題。在座的各位都是創(chuàng)業(yè)者、實干家、創(chuàng)新者。你是佛羅里達一家公司的執(zhí)行總裁,很多人大概都會好奇,身為一名失明的執(zhí)行總裁究竟是怎么樣的呢?這使你面臨哪些具體的挑戰(zhàn),而你又是怎么克服它們的呢?
Isaac Lidsky: Well, the biggest challengebecame a blessing. I don't get visual feedback from people.
艾薩克·利德斯基:好吧,最大的挑戰(zhàn)成了一種祝福。我看不到別人的反應。
BG: What's that noise there? IL: Yeah. So,for example, in my leadership team meetings, I don't see facial expressions orgestures. I've learned to solicit a lot more verbal feedback. I basically forcepeople to tell me what they think. And in this respect, it's become, like Isaid, a real blessing for me personally and for my company, because wecommunicate at a far deeper level, we avoid ambiguities, and most important, myteam knows that what they think truly matters.
布:有什么聲音在哪里嗎?艾:是的。比如說在我的領導團隊的會議中,我無法看到別人的表情或者手勢。我學會去征求更多的言語反饋。我基本都要求人們把他們的想法告訴我。正因如此,它成為了,如我所說,對我個人還有我公司的一種真正的祝福。因為我們獲得了更深層次的溝通。我們避免了歧義,還有更重要的,我的團隊清楚知道他們的想法是真的要緊的。
BG: Isaac, thank you for coming to TED. IL:Thank you, Bruno.
布:艾薩克,感謝你來到了TED。艾:謝謝你,布魯諾。
小學生春節(jié)的英語演講稿范文 篇8
世界是我們的,未來是我們的
Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book,whose pages are infinite”. I don’t know who wrote these words,but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all,we harvest nothing at all.
一些人說“我們正在讀一本無窮的書中的第一章的第一節(jié).”我不知道誰寫了這些話,但是我一直很喜歡它,因為它提醒了我,我們能夠創(chuàng)造我們想要的未來.
We are young. “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question. To answer it,first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth is not a time of life,it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks,red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.
我們都是農夫.如果我們播下好的種子,我們將會豐收.如果我們的種子很差,有很多草籽,收割的將是無用的莊稼.如果我們什么也不播種,什么收獲也沒有.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite,for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry,fear,self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
我們是年輕的.“怎樣度過青春?”這是個有意義的問題.為了去回答它,我首先要問“從‘青春’這個詞中你能理解到什么?”青春不是人生的一個時期,而是精神的一種狀態(tài).青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,.青春是生命的深泉在涌流.
Whether 60 of 16,there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders,the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station:so long as it receives messages of beauty,hope,cheer,courage and power from men and from the infinite,so long as you are young .
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand,and a heaven in a wild flower,hold infinity in the palm of your hand,and eternity in an hour. Several days ago,I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d like to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours?I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well,let’s make a fist. Where is our future?Where is our love,career,and life?Tell me.Yeah,it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
一位詩人說“從一粒沙看世界,從一朵花看天堂,把無限放在你的手掌,永恒在一剎那里收藏”.幾天前,我有了一個聽講座的機會,從中我學到了很多東西.現在,我想把這些與大家共享.讓我們伸出右手,我們可以看到手掌中的展示我們的愛,事業(yè)和生活的三條線.我在生活方面這條線很短,那你們的呢?我想知道我們是否可以用這種辦法去看我們的未來.好的,讓我們一起握拳.我們的未來在哪兒?我們的愛、事業(yè)和生活在哪兒?告訴我!是的,它們就在我們的手中.它們被我們自己掌握著.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over,smile because it happened. From the past,we’ve learnt that the life is tough,but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel,but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it,it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up,it does mean you must try harder.
我們所有人都希望未來能比過去更美好,但是未來能自己變得更好.不要因為結束而哭泣,微笑吧,為你的曾經擁有.從過去來看,生活是艱苦的,但我們是更堅強.我們知道我們不能選擇感覺,但是我們能選擇和它相關的東西.失敗并不意味著你不擁有成功,它只意味著你應該用另一種方式去做這件事.失敗并不意味著你應該放棄,只意味著你應該更加努力.
As what I said at the beginning,“we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book,whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world,the world will give to us. And from today on,let’s be the owners of ourselves,and speak out “We are the world,we are the future.”
正如我在前面所說的“我們正在讀一本無窮的書中的第一章的第一節(jié).”過去的已經過去,無論我們無力改變,但是未來卻在我們前方.相信“我們給了世界什么,世界也將給我們”.并且從今天起,讓我們一起做我們自己的主人,一起大聲說出“世界是我們的,未來是我們的.”
小學生春節(jié)的英語演講稿范文 篇9
People returning to work after a career break: I call them relaunchers. These are people who have taken career breaks for elder care, for childcare reasons, pursuing a personal interest or a personal health issue. Closely related are career transitioners of all kinds: veterans, military spouses, retirees coming out of retirement or repatriating expats. Returning to work after a career break is hard because of a disconnect between the employers and the relaunchers. Employers can view hiring people with a gap on their resume as a high-risk proposition, and individuals on career break can have doubts about their abilities to relaunch their careers, especially if they've been out for a long time. This disconnect is a problem that I'm trying to help solve.
有些人經過離職長假之后 重新投入到工作中來, 我稱他們?yōu)椤霸購臉I(yè)者”。 這些人選擇休離職長假, 有些是要照顧老人, 有些是要照顧孩子, 也有些是追求個人愛好, 或是健康因素。 各行各業(yè)轉業(yè)的人 都與之緊密相關: 退伍軍人、軍嫂, 退休返聘的人, 或遣返回國者。 離職長假后重返工作 是非常困難的, 因為雇主和再從業(yè)者之間 有了隔閡。 雇主們認為,雇傭這些 簡歷上工作時間不連貫的人 是風險極高的決策, 而正在離職長假中的人 可能對自己再從業(yè)的能力產生疑慮, 特別是那些離職時間較長者。 兩者間的缺乏聯(lián)系 是我在嘗試解決的問題。
Now, successful relaunchers are everywhere and in every field. This is Sami Kafala. He's a nuclear physicist in the UK who took a five-year career break to be home with his five children. The Singapore press recently wrote about nurses returning to work after long career breaks. And speaking of long career breaks, this is Mimi Kahn. She's a social worker in Orange County, California, who returned to work in a social services organization after a 25-year career break. That's the longest career break that I'm aware of. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor took a five-year career break early in her career.
如今,我們在各行各業(yè) 都能見到成功的再從業(yè)者。 這位是薩米·科法拉, 他是英國的一位核物理學家, 因為要在家照顧五個孩子 而度過了五年的離職長假。 新加坡的媒體最近發(fā)表了文章, 內容是有關離職長假后再從業(yè)的護士。 提到長時間的離職假期, 這位是米米·卡恩, 她是加州奧蘭治縣的一位社工, 她在度過20xx年的離職長假后 回到了一個社會服務組織工作。 這是據我所知最長的離職假期。 最高法院法官桑德拉·戴·奧康納, 在其職業(yè)生涯早期 度過了五年離職長假。
And this is Tracy Shapiro, who took a 13-year career break. Tracy answered a call for essays by the Today Show from people who were trying to return to work but having a difficult time of it. Tracy wrote in that she was a mom of five who loved her time at home, but she had gone through a divorce and needed to return to work, plus she really wanted to bring work back into her life because she loved working. Tracy was doing what so many of us do when we feel like we've put in a good day in the job search. She was looking for a finance or accounting role, and she had just spent the last nine months very diligently researching companies online and applying for jobs with no results.
這位是特蕾西·莎碧羅, 她度過了20xx年的離職長假。 特蕾西答復了從“今日秀”節(jié)目觀眾中 征集到的問題, 他們想要重返工作, 卻發(fā)現很難做到。 特蕾西寫道:自己是五個孩子的母親, 也很享受居家的時間, 但是她歷經了一次離婚, 并且急需回到工作狀態(tài), 另外,她很想把工作 帶回她的生活中, 因為她也很享受工作。 特蕾西也曾做過 我們很多人所做的事, 每天不停的搜尋合適的工作。 她找過財經、會計領域的職位, 她在那之前花掉了九個月時間, 很努力地調查網上的公司, 然后投放簡歷,卻一無所獲。
I met Tracy in June of 20xx, when the Today Show asked me if I could work with her to see if I could help her turn things around. The first thing I told Tracy was she had to get out of the house. I told her she had to go public with her job search and tell everyone she knew about her interest in returning to work. I also told her, "You are going to have a lot of conversations that don't go anywhere. Expect that, and don't be discouraged by it. There will be a handful that ultimately lead to a job opportunity."
我在20xx年六月見到了特蕾西, 那時“今日秀”節(jié)目 問我可否與她合作, 看我能不能幫她走出困境。 我告訴特蕾西的第一件事, 就是她必須走出家門。 我告訴她,她必須 公開自己求職的想法, 然后告訴她認識的所有人, 自己再從業(yè)的強烈意愿。 我還告訴她, “有很多你參與的對話 是對你完全沒有幫助的。 你要做好心理準備, 別因為那些而灰心喪氣。 找到工作機會之前, 確實要經歷很多瑣事。”
I'll tell you what happened with Tracy in a little bit, but I want to share with you a discovery that I made when I was returning to work after my own career break of 11 years out of the full-time workforce. And that is, that people's view of you is frozen in time. What I mean by this is, when you start to get in touch with people and you get back in touch with those people from the past, the people with whom you worked or went to school, they are going to remember you as you were before your career break. And that's even if your sense of self has diminished over time, as happens with so many of us the farther removed we are from our professional identities. So for example, you might think of yourself as someone who looks like this. This is me, crazy after a day of driving around in my minivan. Or here I am in the kitchen. But those people from the past, they don't know about any of this. They only remember you as you were, and it's a great confidence boost to be back in touch with these people and hear their enthusiasm about your interest in returning to work.
我稍后再告訴你們 特蕾西是如何處理的, 我想先跟大家分享 我的一個發(fā)現, 那時我剛剛回到工作中, 結束了自己離開全職工作大軍 20xx年的長假。 這個發(fā)現就是, 人們對你的印象凝固在過去。 我的意思是, 當你再次開始與人打交道, 與曾經合作過的人重新接觸, 例如跟你一起上學、工作過的人, 他們對你的印象是 離職長假之前的你。 我們的自我意識 隨著時間推移逐漸淡化, 我們很多人都會這樣, 我們距離我們的職業(yè)身份 也就越來越遠。 舉個例子, 你可能把你自己看成這樣。 這就是我,開了一天小面包車, 整個人感覺很瘋狂。 這是我在廚房里的樣子。 但是從前的那些人, 他們對這些一無所知。 他們只記得你曾經的樣子, 當你重新與這些人溝通時, 真是大大的增強了自信心, 而且他們對你有再從業(yè)的興趣 感到非常的開心。
There's one more thing I remember vividly from my own career break. And that was that I hardly kept up with the business news. My background is in finance, and I hardly kept up with any news when I was home caring for my four young children. So I was afraid I'd go into an interview and start talking about a company that didn't exist anymore. So I had to resubscribe to the Wall Street Journal and read it for a good six months cover to cover before I felt like I had a handle on what was going on in the business world again.
我還清晰地記得發(fā)生在 我離職長假中的一件事。 那時我?guī)缀跬耆魂P注經濟新聞。 我曾是財經行業(yè)出身, 然而我在家照顧四個孩子時, 我?guī)缀醪魂P注任何的新聞。 所以我很害怕, 自己去參加面試的時候, 會講到一個不復存在的公司。 所以我重新訂閱了華爾街日報, 然后連續(xù)看了六個月, 之后我才覺得自己對經濟 又有了點解了。
I believe relaunchers are a gem of the workforce, and here's why. Think about our life stage: for those of us who took career breaks for childcare reasons, we have fewer or no maternity leaves. We did that already. We have fewer spousal or partner job relocations. We're in a more settled time of life. We have great work experience. We have a more mature perspective. We're not trying to find ourselves at an employer's expense. Plus we have an energy, an enthusiasm about returning to work precisely because we've been away from it for a while.
我相信再從業(yè)者是 勞動大軍中的精英, 原因如下。 想想我們人生的階段: 對于那些因為要照顧孩子 而休離職假期的人, 大都沒有產假,或是產假很短。 我們早就做過這些了。 我們離婚率較低, 也很少因伴侶而調整工作。 我們的生活更穩(wěn)定。 我們有很棒的工作經歷, 更成熟的眼光, 我們不會成為雇主的犧牲品。 此外,我們有一種能量 - 重返崗位的熱情, 正是因為我們離職一段時間了。 另外,我也跟雇主討論,
On the flip side, I speak with employers, and here are two concerns that employers have about hiring relaunchers.
以下是雇主們 關于雇傭再從業(yè)者的兩個擔憂。
The first one is, employers are worried that relaunchers are technologically obsolete. Now, I can tell you, having been technologically obsolete myself at one point, that it's a temporary condition. I had done my financial analysis so long ago that I used Lotus 1-2-3. I don't know if anyone can even remember back that far, but I had to relearn it on Excel. It actually wasn't that hard. A lot of the commands are the same. I found PowerPoint much more challenging, but now I use PowerPoint all the time. I tell relaunchers that employers expect them to come to the table with a working knowledge of basic office management software. And if they're not up to speed, then it's their responsibility to get there. And they do.
其一,雇主擔心這些再從業(yè)者 技術方面比較落后。 我可以告訴各位, 雖然有段時間我自己技術確實落后, 但那只是暫時的。 很早以前我用“蓮花123”軟件 來做財經分析, 我不知道有沒有人還記得 那么早以前的事了, 這些技能我得在 Excel上重新拾起。 其實這并并非難事, 很多的操作指令是一樣的。 我發(fā)現PowerPoint更具挑戰(zhàn)性, 但現在我對PowerPoint駕輕就熟。 我告訴再從業(yè)者們, 雇主希望找工作的人 對基本的辦公管理軟件 有實踐經驗。 如果他們操作速度不夠快, 那他們就必須變得更高效。 而他們確實做得到。
The second area of concern that employers have about relaunchers is they're worried that relaunchers don't know what they want to do. I tell relaunchers that they need to do the hard work to figure out whether their interests and skills have changed or have not changed while they have been on career break. That's not the employer's job. It's the relauncher's responsibility to demonstrate to the employer where they can add the most value.
雇主對再從業(yè)者的第二種憂慮, 就是他們擔心再從業(yè)者 不清楚他們想要做什么。 我告訴再從業(yè)者, 他們必須仔細研究, 了解自己的愛好或者技能 在離職長假的過程中 是否發(fā)生了變化。 這不是雇主的職責。 這個是再從業(yè)者的責任, 把自己展現給雇主, 來充分展示自己可創(chuàng)造的價值。
Back in 20xx I started noticing something. I had been tracking return to work programs since 20xx, and in 20xx, I started noticing the use of a short-term paid work opportunity, whether it was called an internship or not, but an internship-like experience, as a way for professionals to return to work. I saw Goldman Sachs and Sara Lee start corporate reentry internship programs. I saw a returning engineer, a nontraditional reentry candidate, apply for an entry-level internship program in the military, and then get a permanent job afterward. I saw two universities integrate internships into mid-career executive education programs.
20xx年,我開始注意到一件事。 我從20xx年開始追蹤 人們重返崗位的情況, 然而在20xx年,我開始注意到, 一種短期、帶薪的工作機會開始出現, 不論它是不是名叫“實習”, 但總之是一個很像實習的經歷, 這為重回崗位的專業(yè)人士 開辟了一條道路。 我看到高盛和莎莉集團 都開始了此類 二次從業(yè)的實習項目。 我看到一個再從業(yè)的工程師, 算是不太傳統(tǒng)的再從業(yè)人士, 申請了一個 軍方的初級實習項目, 后來他獲得了一個永久的工作。 我看到兩所大學 將實習項目整合到 職業(yè)中期管理學教育項目中。
So I wrote a report about what I was seeing, and it became this article for Harvard Business Review called "The 40-Year-Old Intern." I have to thank the editors there for that title, and also for this artwork where you can see the 40-year-old intern in the midst of all the college interns. And then, courtesy of Fox Business News, they called the concept "The 50-Year-Old Intern."
于是,就我所觀察到的現象, 我寫了一篇報告, 后來它發(fā)表在了 《哈佛商業(yè)評論》中, 名字叫《40歲的實習生》。 我必須得感謝編者擬的標題, 還有這個很棒的配圖, 你們可以看到那個40歲的實習生 出現在一群大學實習生中。 后來,還得感謝福克斯商業(yè)新聞, 他們把這個概念稱為 “50歲的實習生”。
So five of the biggest financial services companies have reentry internship programs for returning finance professionals. And at this point, hundreds of people have participated. These internships are paid, and the people who move on to permanent roles are commanding competitive salaries. And now, seven of the biggest engineering companies are piloting reentry internship programs for returning engineers as part of an initiative with the Society of Women Engineers. Now, why are companies embracing the reentry internship? Because the internship allows the employer to base their hiring decision on an actual work sample instead of a series of interviews, and the employer does not have to make that permanent hiring decision until the internship period is over. This testing out period removes the perceived risk that some managers attach to hiring relaunchers, and they are attracting excellent candidates who are turning into great hires.
五家最大的金融服務公司 都設立了再從業(yè)實習項目, 專為重回崗位的金融精英。 截至目前,數百人參與了這些項目。 這些實習項目是帶薪的, 而且那些晉升到永久崗位的人, 都有極具競爭力的薪資。 現在,七家最大的工程公司, 也在推行再從業(yè)實習項目, 來幫助重返崗位的工程師, 這也是女性工程師協(xié)會 新方案的一部分。 那么,為什么這些企業(yè) 大力支持再從業(yè)實習呢? 因為這種實習可以讓雇主 基于參與者實際工作成效 來做出雇傭決策, 而非一系列的面試, 而且雇主不必在實習結束之前 就做出永久雇傭的決定。 這段試驗期消除了一定的風險, 這關乎某些經理人 對雇傭再從業(yè)者的擔憂, 同時,這也吸引了大量再從業(yè)人士, 他們成為了出色的雇傭對象。
Think about how far we have come. Before this, most employers were not interested in engaging with relaunchers at all. But now, not only are programs being developed specifically with relaunchers in mind, but you can't even apply for these programs unless you have a gap on your résumé.
各位,想一想我們取得的進步, 在此之前,大多數雇主 根本沒興趣與再從業(yè)者打交道。 然而現在,有許多項目在開展實施, 特別是針對再從業(yè)者的項目, 如果簡歷上沒有一段空檔期, 你根本不能申請這些項目。
This is the mark of real change, of true institutional shift, because if we can solve this problem for relaunchers, we can solve it for other career transitioners too. In fact, an employer just told me that their veterans return to work program is based on their reentry internship program. And there's no reason why there can't be a retiree internship program. Different pool, same concept.
這標志著一種實質變化, 一種真正的制度變革, 因為如果我們可以 為再從業(yè)者解決這個問題, 我們亦可為其他的職業(yè)轉型者 解決同樣的問題。 事實上,一位雇主剛剛告訴我, 他們的“退伍軍人再從業(yè)項目”, 就是基于他們的再從業(yè)實習項目。 我們也沒有理由不去設立 一個“退休人士實習項目”。 不同的對象,相同的概念。
So let me tell you what happened with Tracy Shapiro. Remember that she had to tell everyone she knew about her interest in returning to work. Well, one critical conversation with another parent in her community led to a job offer for Tracy, and it was an accounting job in a finance department. But it was a temp job. The company told her there was a possibility it could turn into something more, but no guarantees. This was in the fall of 20xx. Tracy loved this company, and she loved the people and the office was less than 10 minutes from her house. So even though she had a second job offer at another company for a permanent full-time role, she decided to take her chances with this internship and hope for the best. Well, she ended up blowing away all of their expectations, and the company not only made her a permanent offer at the beginning of 20xx, but they made it even more interesting and challenging, because they knew what Tracy could handle.
讓我告訴你們特蕾西·莎碧羅 最后發(fā)生了什么。 各位回想一下, 她必須告訴她認識的每一個人, 自己對重返工作崗位很有興趣。 結果,她與自己社區(qū)里的長輩 進行了一次關鍵的談話, 這讓她找到了一份工作邀請。 那是一個金融部門的會計工作。 但那是臨時的。 公司告訴她, 有可能有崗位晉升的機會, 但是不能保證。 那是20xx年的秋天。 特蕾西很愛那個公司, 而且她喜歡那里的員工, 從辦公室去她家只需10分鐘。 所以即使她后來得到了 第二份工作邀請, 來自另一家公司, 而且有永久、全職的保證, 她決定在這份實習項目中冒冒險, 盡人事,聽天命。 最后,她的業(yè)績 遠遠超出了所有人的期望值, 公司不但提供了她永久崗位, 那是在20xx年初, 而且他們還讓她的工作 更加有趣、有挑戰(zhàn)性, 因為他們知道特蕾西可以辦得到。
Fast forward to 20xx, Tracy's been promoted. They've paid for her to get her MBA at night. She's even hired another relauncher to work for her. Tracy's temp job was a tryout, just like an internship, and it ended up being a win for both Tracy and her employer.
時間快進到20xx年, 特蕾西獲得了晉升。 公司為她的夜校工商管理課程買單。 她甚至雇傭了 另一位再從業(yè)者為她工作。 特蕾西的臨時工作像是一個試驗, 就像實習項目, 而最終,特蕾西和她的雇主 達到了雙贏局面。
Now, my goal is to bring the reentry internship concept to more and more employers. But in the meantime, if you are returning to work after a career break, don't hesitate to suggest an internship or an internship-like arrangement to an employer that does not have a formal reentry internship program. Be their first success story, and you can be the example for more relaunchers to come.
我的目標是將這種 再從業(yè)實習的概念 推薦給越來越多的雇主。 但是與此同時, 如果你在離職長假后重返崗位, 別猶豫向雇主提議設立實習項目, 或者類似實習項目的想法, 特別是那些沒有 正式的再從業(yè)實習項目的公司。 爭當他們的第一個成功故事, 而你們都可以成為 未來更多再從業(yè)者的楷模。
Thank you.
謝謝大家。

Not long after an old Chinese woman came back to China from her visit to her daughter in the States, she went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter gave her. At the bank counter, the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real. It made the old lady out of patience.
At last she could not hold any more, uttering. "Trust me, Sir, and trust the money. They are real US dollars. They are directly from America."

ladies and gentlemen:
it is a great honor for me to talk about the topic with you all, my dear friends!
as you all know, there is a flinty problem that many many fresh graduates can not find their jobs today. what is worse, it seems that we have few ways to sovle it. probably, some others would argue that why not let our ya go abroad since there are so many chances there? on second thoughts, should our government propose that we youth go abroad for job hunting? my answer is absolutely “ no”!
just think, my friends, why somebody suggest our fresh graduates go abroad? are our markets for job seekers really saturated ? are there really bags of jobs waiting for the jobless abroad? can the migration really put the axe in the helve? it is unlikely, in my opinion.
in some degree, it is a illusion thinking that there have been dead-alive on the labor market home. so many graduates say they can not find their jobs, so many parents worry about their young ones’ future, so many companies close the doors for job seeking…… how it just be a illusion ? do i have a bee in my head?
first ,we should make it clear that what kind of jobs that our graduates want to take, and where they want to work? it goes without saying, only jobs providing high salary in big cities, for instance beijing, can satisfy them. unfortunately ,that kind of jobs are limited. therefore, it is not that our graduates can not find jobs but that they can not find the fictive jobs , as a matter of fact. no matter how flourish and how actively a city is, it can provide numbered positions for the job seekers. what they want is perfect, but what they can gain in the end is another pair of shoes.
in fact, in the country, in the undeveloped places, more and more persons with ability are needed. however, there are no theatres, there are no cafes, there are no kfc, and there are supermarkets… as a result, no body like to work there.as we all know, developed countries

Good morning everyone!
My name is Jie Lidi. Today, my topic is: “Confidence”. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. But What I want to say is that success is the child of confidence. Without confidence, things can becom#e negative and uncom#fortable. I remember, during an English class, I wanted to make a sentence using the word "listen". I should have said: "I listen to the Voice of America" but I was too nervous and said "I listen to the Noise of America". Everybody in the class laughed. Since then I wanted to train myself to be confident. Now, confidence makes me brave and courageous. Take this speech for example. I wanted to enter this com#petition, but I would feel very embarrassed if I made mistakes. Just then, I thought about my dream. My dream is to becom#e a scientist when I grow up. If I am not confident, how can I overcom#e difficulties I face? If I am not confident, how can I succeed in developing myself in the future? I will do it! Today, I am making a speech in public and I feel proud and confident!
I am sure, in the future, with confidence, I will go forward-always forward. Confidence will make my dreams com#e true!
Thank you!
