TED精彩演讲：坠机让我学到的三件事 Imagine a big explosion as you climb through 3,000 ft. Imagine a plane full of smoke. Imagine an engine going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. It sounds scary. 想像一个大爆炸，当你在三千多英尺的高空；想像机舱内布满黑烟，想像引擎发出喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦的声响，听起来很可怕。
Well I had a unique seat that day. I was sitting in 1D. I was the only one who can talk to the flight attendants. So I looked at them right away, and they said, "No problem. We probably hit some birds." The pilot had already turned the plane around, and we weren't that far. You could see Manhattan.
那天我的位置很特別，我坐在1D，我是唯一可以和空服员说话的人，于是我立刻看着他们，他们说，“没问题，我们可能撞上鸟了。” 机长已经把机头转向，我们离目的地很近，已经可以看到曼哈顿了。
Two minutes later, 3 things happened at the same time. The pilot lines up the plane with the Hudson River. That's usually not the route. He turns off the engines. Now imagine being in a plane with no sound. And then he says 3 words-the most unemotional 3 words I've ever heard. He says, "Brace for impact."
两分钟以后，三件事情同时发生：机长把飞机对齐哈德逊河，一般的航道可不是这样。他关上引擎。想像坐在一架没有声音的飞机上。然后他说了几个字，我听过最不带情绪的几个字，他说，“即将迫降，小心冲击。”
I didn't have to talk to the flight attendant anymore. I could see in her eyes, it was terror. Life was over.
我不用再问空服员什么了。我可以在她眼神里看到恐惧，人生结束了。
Now I want to share with you 3 things I learned about myself that day. 现在我想和你们分享那天我所学到的三件事。
I leant that it all changes in an instant. We have this bucket list, we have these things we want to do in life, and I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to that I didn't, all the fences I wanted to mend, all the experiences I wanted to have and I never did. As I
thought about that later on, I came up with a saying, which is, "collect bad wines". Because if the wine is ready and the person is there, I'm opening it. I no longer want to postpone anything in life. And that urgency, that purpose, has really changed my life.
在那一瞬间内，一切都改变了。我们的人生目标清单，那些我们想做的事，所有那些我想联络却没有联络的人，那些我想修补的围墙，人际关系，所有我想经历却没有经历的事。之后我回想那些事，我想到一句话，那就是，“我收藏的酒都很差。” 因为如果酒已成熟，分享对象也有，我早就把把酒打开了。我不想再把生命中的任何事延后，这种紧迫感、目标性改变了我的生命。
The second thing I learnt that day - and this is as we clear the George Washington bridge, which was by not a lot - I thought about, wow, I really feel one real regret, I've lived a good life. In my own humanity and mistaked, I've tired to get better at everything I tried. But in my humanity, I also allow my ego to get in. And I regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter with people that matter. And I thought about my relationship with my wife, my friends, with people. And after, as I reflected on that, I decided to eliminate negative energy from my life. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better. I've not had a fight with my wife in 2 years. It feels great. I no longer try to be right; I choose to be happy.
那天我学到的第二件事是，正当我们通过乔治华盛顿大桥，那也没过多久，我想，哇，我有一件真正后悔的事。虽然我有人性缺点，也犯了些错，但我生活得其实不错。我试着把每件事做得更好。但因为人性，我难免有些自我中心，我后悔竟然花了许多时间，和生命中重要的人讨论那些不重要的事。我想到我和妻子、朋友及人们的关系，之后，回想这件事时，我决定除掉我人生中的负面情绪。还没完全做到，但确实好多了。过去两年我从未和妻子吵架，感觉很好，我不再尝试争论对错，我选择快乐。
The third thing I learned - and this's as you mental clock starts going, "15, 14, 13." You can see the water coming. I'm saying, "Please blow up." I don't want this thing to break in 20 pieces like you've seen in those documentaries. And as we're coming down, I had a sense of, wow, dying is not scary. It's almost like we've been preparing for it our whole lives .But it was very sad. I didn't want to go. I love my life. And
that sadness really framed in one thought, which is, I only wish for one thing. I only wish I could see my kids grow up.
我所学到的第三件事是，当你脑中的始终开始倒数“15，14，13”，看到水开始涌入，心想，“拜托爆炸吧！” 我不希望这东西碎成20片，就像纪录片中看到的那样。当我们逐渐下沉，我突然感觉到，哇，死亡并不可怕，就像是我们一生一直在为此做准备，但很令人悲伤。我不想就这样离开，我热爱我的生命。这个悲伤的主要来源是，我只期待一件事，我只希望能看到孩子长大。
About a month later, I was at a performance by my daugter -
first-grade, not much artistic talent... yet. And I 'm balling, I'm crying, like a little kid. And it made all the sense in the world to me. I realized at that point by connecting those two dots, that the only thing that matters in my life is being a great dad. Above all, above all, the only goal I have in life is to be a good dad.
一个月后，我参加女儿的表演，她一年级，没什么艺术天份，就算如此。我泪流满面，像个孩子，这让我的世界重新有了意义。当当时我意识到，将这两件事连接起来，其实我生命中唯一重要的事，就是成为一个好父亲，比任何事都重要，比任何事都重要，我人生中唯一的目标就是做个好父亲。
I was given the gift of a miracle, of not dying that day. I was given another gift, which was to be able to see into the future and come back and live differently.
那天我经历了一个奇迹，我活下來了。我还得到另一个启示，像是看见自己的未来再回來，改变自己的人生。
I challenge you guys that are flying today, imagine the same thing
happens on your plane - and please don't - but imagine, and how would you change? What would you get done that you're waiting to get done because you think you'll be here forever? How would you change your relationtships and the negative energy in them? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can?
我鼓励今天要坐飞机的各位，想像如果你坐的飞机出了同样的事，最好不要－但想像一下，你会如何改变？有什么是你想做却没做的，因为你觉得你有其它机会做它？你会如何改变你的人际关系，不再如此负面？最重要的是，你是否尽力成为一个好父母？
Thank you.
Why TED talks are better than the last speech you sat through
世上最好的演讲：TED演讲吸引人的秘密
Think about the last time you heard someone give a speech, or any formal presentation. Maybe it was so long that you were either overwhelmed with data, or you just tuned the speaker out. If PowerPoint was involved, each slide was probably loaded with at least 40 words or figures, and odds are that you don't remember more than a tiny bit of what they were supposed to show. 回想一下你上次聆听某人发表演讲或任何正式陈述的情形。它也许太长了，以至于你被各种数据搞得头昏脑胀，甚或干脆不理会演讲者。如果演讲者使用了PPT文档，那么每张幻灯片很可能塞入了至少40个单词或数字，但你现在或许只记得一丁点内容。
Pretty uninspiring, huh? Talk Like TED: 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of The World's Best Mindsexamines why in prose that's as lively and appealing as, well, a TED talk. Timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary in March of those now-legendary TED conferences, the book draws on current brain science to explain what wins over, and fires up, an audience -- and what doesn't. Author Carmine Gallo also studied more than 500 of the most popular TED speeches (there have been about 1,500 so far) and interviewed scores of the people who gave them.
相当平淡，是吧？《像TED那样演讲：全球顶级人才九大演讲秘诀》(Talk Like TED: 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of The World's Best Minds)一书以流畅的文笔审视了为什么TED演讲如此生动，如此引人入胜。出版方有意安排在今年3月份发行此书，以庆贺如今已成为经典的TED大会成立30周年。这部著作借鉴
当代脑科学解释了什么样的演讲能够说服听众、鼓舞听众，什么样的演讲无法产生这种效果。
Much of what he found out is surprising. Consider, for instance, the fact that each TED talk is limited to 18 minutes. That might sound too short to convey much. Yet TED curator Chris Anderson imposed the time limit, he told Gallo, because it's "long enough to be serious and short enough to hold people's attention ... By forcing speakers who are used to going on for 45 minutes to bring it down to 18, you get them to think about what they really want to say." It's also the perfect length if you want your message to go viral, Anderson says. 他挖出了不少令人吃惊的演讲策略。例如，每场TED演讲都被限制在18分钟以内。听起来太过短暂，似乎无法传达足够多讯息。然而，TED大会策办人克里斯•安德森决议推行这项时间限制规则，因为“这个时间长度足够庄重，同时又足够短，能够吸引人们的注意力。通过迫使那些习惯于滔滔不绝讲上45分钟的嘉宾把演讲时间压缩至18分钟，你就可以让他们认真思考他们真正想说的话，”他对加洛说。此外，安德森说，如果你希望你的讯息像病毒般扩散，这也是一个完美的时间长度。
Recent neuroscience shows why the time limit works so well: People listening to a presentation are storing data for retrieval in the future, and too much information leads to "cognitive overload," which gives rise to elevated levels of anxiety -- meaning that, if you go on and on, your audience will start to resist you. Even worse, they won't recall a single point you were trying to make.
最近的神经科学研究说明了为什么这项时间限制产生如此好的效果：聆听陈述的人们往往会存储相关数据，以备未来检索之用，而太多的信息会导致“认知超负荷”，进而推升听众的焦虑度。它意味着，如果你说个没完没了，听众就会开始抗拒你。更糟糕的是，他们不会记得你努力希望传递的信息点，甚至可能一个都记不住。
"Albert Einstein once said, 'If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough,'" Gallo writes, adding that the physicist would have applauded astronomer David Christian who, at TED in 2011, narrated the complete history of the universe -- and Earth's place in it -- in 17 minutes and 40 seconds.
“爱因斯坦曾经说过，‘要是你不能言简意赅地解释某种理论，那就说明你自己都还没有理解透彻，’”加罗写道。他还举例说，物理学家或许会大加赞赏天文学家大卫•克里斯蒂安在2011年TED大会上发表的演讲。克里斯蒂安在这个演讲中完整地讲述了宇宙史及地球在宇宙的地位，整场演讲用时只有17分40秒。 Gallo offers some tips on how to boil a complex presentation down to 18 minutes or so, including what he calls the "rule of three," or condensing a plethora of ideas into three main points, as many top TED talkers do. He also notes that, even if a speech just can't be squeezed down that far, the effort alone is bound to improve it: "Your presentation will be far more creative and impactful simply by going through the exercise."
如何把一个复杂的陈述压缩至18分钟左右？加洛就这个问题提供了一些小建议，其中包括他所称的“三的法则”。具体说就是，把大量观点高度浓缩为三大要点。TED大会上的许多演讲高手就是这样做的。他还指出，即使一篇演讲无法提炼到这样的程度，单是这番努力也一定能改善演讲的效果：“仅仅通过这番提炼，你就可以大大增强陈述的创造性和影响力。”
Then there's PowerPoint. "TED represents the end of PowerPoint as we know it," writes Gallo. He hastens to add that there's nothing wrong with PowerPoint as a tool, but that most speakers unwittingly make it work against them by cluttering up their slides with way too many words (40, on average) and numbers.
另一个建议与PPT文档有关。“TED大会象征着我们所知的PPT文档正走向终结，”加洛写道。他随后又马上补充说，作为工具的PowerPoint本身并没有什么错，但大多数演讲者为他们的幻灯片塞进了太多的单词（平均40个）和数字，
让这种工具不经意间带来了消极影响。
The remedy for that, based on the most riveting TED talks: If you must use slides, fill them with a lot more images. Once again, research backs this up, with something academics call the Picture Superiority Effect: Three days after hearing or reading a set of facts, most people will remember about 10% of the information. Add a photo or a drawing, and recall jumps to 65%.
最吸引人的TED演讲为我们提供了一个补救策略：如果你必须使用幻灯片，务必记得要大量运用图像资源。这种做法同样有科学依据，它就是研究人员所称的“图优效应”(Picture Superiority Effect)：听到或读到一组事实三天后，大多数人会记得大约10%的信息。而添加一张照片或图片后，记忆率将跃升至65%。 One study, by molecular biologist John Medina at the University of Washington School of Medicine, found that not only could people recall more than 2,500 pictures with at least 90% accuracy several days later, but accuracy a whole year afterward was still at about 63%.
华盛顿大学医学院(University of Washington School of Medicine)分子生物学家约翰•梅迪纳主持的研究发现，几天后，人们能够回想起超过2,500张图片，准确率至少达到90%；一年后的准确率依然保持在63%左右。
That result "demolishes" print and speech, both of which were tested on the same group of subjects, Medina's study indicated, which is something worth bearing in mind for anybody hoping that his or her ideas will be remembered. 梅迪纳的研究表明，这个结果“完胜”印刷品和演讲的记忆效果（由同一组受试者测试）。任何一位希望自己的思想被听众铭记在心的演讲者或许都应该记住这一点。

what would you get done that youre waiting to get done because you think youll be

下，你会如何改变？有什么是你想做却没做的，因为你觉得你有其它机会做它？你会如何改
变你的人际关系，不再如此负面？最重要的是，你是否尽力成为一个好父母？ thank you.篇二：你不必沉迷英语 ted演讲稿 我知道你们在想什么，你们觉得我迷路了，马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带回我的座
位上。（掌声）。我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。“来这里度假的吗，亲爱的？”（笑声）“来探望孩
子的吗？这次要待多久呢？ 恩，事实上，我希望能再待久一点。我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。（掌
声）这段时间里，我看到了很多变化。现在这份数据是挺吓人的，而我今天要和你们说的是
有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的朋友，她在阿布达比教成人英语。在
一个晴朗的日子里，她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。但最后却变成是
她在学习所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些植物是如何被用作药材，化妆品，
烹饪，香草。这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢？当然是从他们的祖父母，甚至曾祖父母那
里得来的。不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。
but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate. a language dies
every 14 days. now, at the same time, english is the undisputed global language. could
there be a connection? well i dont know. but i do know that ive seen a lot of changes.
when i first came out to the gulf, i came to kuwait in the days when it was still
a hardship post. actually, not that long ago. that is a little bit too early. but nevertheless, i was
recruited by the british council along with about 25 other teachers. and we were the first non-muslims to teach in the state schools
there in kuwait. we were brought to teach english because the government wanted to
modernize the country and empower the citizens through education. and of course, the
u.k. benefited from some of that lovely oil wealth. 但遗憾的是，今天很多语言正在
以前所未有的速度消失。每14天就有一种语言消失，而与此同时，英语却无庸置疑地成为全
球性的语言。这其中有关联吗？我不知道。但我知道的是，我见证过许多改变。初次来到海
湾地区时，我去了科威特。当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。其实，没有那么久啦，这有点
太久以前了。总之，我和其他25位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。我们是第一批非穆斯林的
老师，在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语，是因为当地政府希望国家可以现
代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然，英国也能得到些好处，产油国可是很有钱的。 okay. now this is the major change that ive seen -- how teaching english has
morphed from being a mutually english-speaking nation on earth. and why not? after all, the best education --
according to the latest world university rankings -- is to be found in the universities
of the u.k. and the u.s. so everybody wants to have an english education, naturally.
but if youre not a native speaker, you have to pass a test. 言归正传，我见过最大的改变，就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今
天这种大规模的国际产业。英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科，也不再只是英国的专利。英
语（教学）已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。何乐而不为呢？毕竟，最好的教育来自于
最好的大学，而根据最新的世界大学排名，那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。所以自
然每个人都想接受英语教育，但如果你不是以英文为母语，你就要通过考试。 now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability well, i dont think so. we english teachers reject them all the time. we put a
stop sign, and we stop them in their tracks. they cant pursue their dream any longer,
till they get english. now let me put it this way, if i met a dutch speaker who had the cure for cancer, would i stop him from entering my british
university? i dont think so. but indeed, that is exactly what we do. we english
teachers are the
gatekeepers. and you have to satisfy us first that your english is good enough.
now it can be dangerous to give too much power to a narrow segment of society. maybe
the barrier would be too universal. 但仅凭语言能力就拒绝学生这样对吗？譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学家，但他会
需要有和律师一样的语言能力吗？我不这么认为。但身为英语老师的我们，却总是拒绝他们。
我们处处设限，将学生挡在路上，使他们无法再追求自己的梦想，直到他们通过考试。现在
容我换一个方式说，如果我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人，而这个人能治愈癌症，我会阻止
他进入我的英国大学吗？我想不会。但事实上，我们的确在做这种事。我们这些英语老师就
是把关的。你必须先让我们满意，使我们认定你的英文够好。但这可能是危险的。把太多的
权力交由这么小的一群人把持，也许会令这种障碍太过普及。 okay. but, i hear you say, what about the research? its all in english. so the
books are in english, the journals are done in english, but that is a self-fulfilling .
it feeds the english requirement. and so it goes on. i ask you, what happened to
translation? if you think about the islamic golden age, there was lots of translation then. they translated from latin and
greek into arabic, into persian, and then it was translated on into the germanic
languages of europe and the romance languages. and so light shone upon the dark ages
of europe. now dont get me wrong; i am not against teaching english, all you english
teachers out there. i love it that we have a global language. we need one today more
than ever. but i am against using it as a barrier. do we really want to end up with
600 languages and the main one being english, or chinese? we need more than that.
where do we draw the line? this system equates intelligence with a knowledge of english
which is quite . 于是，我听到你们问但是研究呢?研究报告都要用英文。”的确，研究论著和期刊都要用
英文发表，但这只是一种理所当然的现象。有英语要求，自然就有英语供给，然后就这么循
环下去。我倒想问问大家，为什么不用翻译呢？想想伊斯兰的黄金时代，当时翻译盛行，人
们把拉丁文和希腊文翻译成阿拉伯文或波斯文，然后再由拉伯文或波斯文翻译为欧洲的日耳
曼语言以及罗曼语言。于是文明照亮了欧洲的黑暗时代。但不要误会我的意思，我不是反对
英语教学或是在座所有的英语老师。我很高兴我们有一个全球性的语言，这在今日尤为重要。
但我反对用英语设立障碍。难道我们真希望世界上只剩下600种语言，其中又以英文或中文
为主流吗？我们需要的不只如此。那么我们该如何拿捏呢？这个体制把智能和英语能力画上
等号这是相当武断的。
and i want to remind you that the giants upon whose shoulders todays stand did not have to have english, they didnt have to pass an english test. case in point, einstein. he,
by the way, was considered remedial at school because he was, in fact, dyslexic. but
fortunately for the world, he did not have to pass an english test. because they didnt
start until 1964 with toefl, the american test of english. now its exploded. there
are lots and lots of tests of english. and millions and millions of students take
these tests every year. now you might think, you and me, those fees arent bad, theyre
okay, but they are prohibitive to so many millions of poor people. so immediately,
were rejecting them.
我想要提醒你们，扶持当代知识分子的这些“巨人肩膀不必非得具有英文能力，他们不
需要通过英语考试。爱因斯坦就是典型的例子。顺便说一下，他在学校还曾被认为需要课外
补习，因为他其实有阅读障碍。但对整个世界来说,很幸运的当时他不需要通过英语考试，因
为他们直到1964年才开始使用托福。现在英语测验太泛滥了，有太多太多的英语测验，以及
成千上万的学生每年都在参加这些考试。现在你会认为，你和我都这么想，这些费用不贵，
价钱满合理的。但是对数百万的穷人来说，这些费用高不可攀。所以，当下我们又拒绝了他
们。 it brings to mind a headline i saw recently: education: the great divide. now
i get it, i understand why people would focus on english. they want to give their
children the best chance in life. and to do that, they need a western education.
because, of course, the best jobs go to people out of the western universities, that i put on earlier. its a circular thing.
这使我想起最近看到的一个新闻标题：“教育：大鸿沟”现在我懂了。我了解为什么大家
都重视英语，因为他们希望给孩子最好的人生机会。为了达成这目的，他们需要西方教育。
毕竟，不可否认，最好的工作都留给那些西方大学毕业出来的人。就像我之前说的，这是一
种循环。
okay. let me tell you a story about two scientists, two english scientists. they
were doing an experiment to do with genetics and the forelimbs and the hind limbs
of animals. but they couldnt get the results they wanted. they really didnt know what
to do, until along came a german scientist who realized that they were using two words
for forelimb and hind limb, whereas genetics does not differentiate and neither does german. so bingo, problem solved. if you cant think a thought, you are stuck.
but if another language can think that thought, then, by cooperating, we can achieve
and learn so much more. 好，我跟你们说一个关于两位科学家的故事：有两位英国科学家
在做一项实验，是关于遗传学的，以及动物的前、后肢。但他们无法得到他们想要的结果。
他们真的不知道该怎么办，直到来了一位德国的科学家。他发现在英文里前肢和后肢是不同
的二个字，但在遗传学上没有区别。在德语也是同一个字。所以，叮！问题解决了。如果你
不能想到一个念头，你会卡在那里。但如果另一个语言能想到那念头，然后通过合作我们可
以达成目的，也学到更多。 我的女儿从科威特来到英格兰，她在阿拉伯的学校学习科学和数学。那是所阿拉伯中学。
在学校里，她得把这些知识翻译成英文，而她在班上却能在这些学科上拿到最好的成绩。这
告诉我们，当外籍学生来找我们，我们可能无法针对他们所知道的给予赞赏，因为那是来自
于他们母语的知识。当一个语言消失时，我们不知道还有什么也会一并失去。 this is -- i dont know if you saw it on cnn recently -- they gave the heroes award
to a young kenyan shepherd boy who couldnt study at night in his village like all
the village children,篇三：世上最好的演讲：ted演讲吸引人的秘密 why ted talks are better than the last speech you sat through 世上最好的演讲：ted演讲吸引人的秘密 think about the last time you heard someone give a speech, or any formal
presentation. maybe it was so long that you were either overwhelmed with data, or
you just tuned the speaker out. if powerpoint was involved, each slide was probably
loaded with at least 40 words or figures, and odds are that you dont remember more
than a tiny bit of what they were supposed to show. 回想一下你上次聆听某人发表演
