让你的TED英语演讲稿在社交网络上火起来的秘诀
让你的TED英语演讲稿在社交网络上火起来的秘诀As a speaker, the ultimate goal of a TED talk is to create a buzz, to have your message resonate with the audience, and to inspire and move them to take collective action. But in today's digital age, where social media is a powerful force, the success of a TED talk is closely tied to its virality on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.So, how do you ensure your TED talk goes viral on social media? In this article, we'll explore some of the secrets to creating a TED talk that resonates with social media audiences.1. Tell a Great StoryOne of the most effective ways to make your TED talk go viral on social media is to tell a gripping and relatable story. Humans are wired to respond to stories, and compelling narratives are more likely to resonate with audiences than data or statistics.Your story should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, with a relatable protagonist and a compelling conflict. It should also be concise and well-structured, with a clear message or moral.2. Make it EmotionalEmotional content is more likely to go viral because it resonates with audiences on a personal level. By connecting with your audience on an emotional level, you're more likelyto make an impact and inspire them to share your message with others.You could use humor, vulnerability, or personal anecdotes to make your talk emotional. For instance, sharing personal struggles, triumphs, or experiences can help humanize you and make your talk more relatable.3. Use Powerful VisualsPowerful visuals can help your TED talk stand out onsocial media newsfeeds. Compelling images or videos can help capture your message in a way that words cannot and help your talk get shared more widely.You could use charts, graphs, videos, animations, or photographs to convey your message and make your talk more visually engaging. However, it's important to use visual aids strategically and not let them overpower your message.4. Make it ActionableOne of the best ways to make your TED talk go viral is to inspire your audience to take actionable steps after watching your talk. If people feel like they can make a difference, they're more likely to share your message with others and take action themselves.You should clearly outline the steps your audience can take after watching your talk. Whether it's signing a petition, joining a campaign, or making a lifestyle change, you should provide actionable and practical advice that your audience can implement.5. Promote it on Social MediaFinally, promoting your TED talk on social media is essential to making it go viral. You should use relevanthashtags, tag TED, and share your talk across multiple social media platforms to increase its visibility.You could also engage with your audience by responding to comments, answering questions, and sharing additional resources related to your talk. By building a community around your talk, you're more likely to create momentum and make it go viral.In conclusion, creating a TED talk that goes viral on social media requires a compelling story, emotional content, powerful visuals, actionable steps, and strategic social media promotion. By following these tips, you can increase your chances of creating a buzz and inspiring your audienceto take action.。

TED演讲稿Thank you so much.I am a journalist. My job is to talk to people from all walks of life, all over the world. Today I want to tell you why I decided to do this with my life and what I’ve learned.My story begins in Caracas, Venezuela in South America where I grew up, a place that to me was and always will be filled with magic and wonder. From a very young age, my parents wanted me to have a wider view of the world.I remember one time when I was around seven years old, my dad cameup to me and said: “Mariana, I’m going to send you and your little sister, who was six at the time, to a place where nobody speaks Spanish. I want you to experience different cultures.”He went on and on about the benefits of spending an entire summer in ‘this summer camp’ in the United States. Stressing a little phrase that I didn’t pay too much attention to at the time, ‘you never know what the future holds’.Meanwhile in my seven-year-old mind, I was thinking we were going to get to summer camp in Miami. Maybe it was going to be even better and we were going to go a little further north to Orlando where Mickey Mouse lived. I got really excited.My dad, however, had a slightly different plan: from Caracas he sent us to Brainerd, Minnesota. Mickey Mouse was not up there and with no cellphone, no Snapchat or Instagram, I couldn’t look up any information. We get there and one of the first things I noticed was that the other kids’ hair was several shades of blonde and most of them had blue eyes.Meanwhile this is what we looked like. The first night, the camp director gathered everyone around the campfire and said: “Kids, we have a very international camp this year. The Atencios are here from Venezuela.”The other kids looked at us as if we are from another planet. They would ask us things like: “Do you know what a hamburger is, or do you go to school in a donkey or canoe?” I would try to answer in my broken English, and they would just laugh.And I know they were not trying to be mean; they were just trying to understand who we were and make a correlation with the world they knew. We could either be like them or like characters out of a book filledwith adventures like Aladdin or The Jungle Book. We certainly didn’t look like them; we didn’t speak their languag e. We were different. And when you’re seven years old, that hurts.But I had my little sister to take care of and she cried every day at summer camp. So I decided to put on a brave face and embrace everything I could about the American way of life. We later did what we called the summer camp experiment for eight years in different cities that many Americans haven’t even heard of. What I remember most about these moments was when I finally clicked with someone, making a friend was a special reward. Everybody wants to feel valued and accepted and we think it should happen spontaneously. But it doesn’t.When you’re different you have to work at belonging. You have to be either really helpful, smart, funny, anything to be cool for the crowd you want to hang out with. Later on when I was in high school, my dad expanded on his summer plan and from Caracas he sent me to Wallingford, Connecticut for senior year of high school. This time Iremember daydreaming on the plane about the American high school experience with a locker. It was going to be perfect just like in my favorite TV show: Saved by the Bell.I get there and they tell me that my assigned roommate is eagerly waiting. I opened the door and there she was sitting on the bed with a headscarf. Her name was Fatima and she was Muslim from Bahrain and she was not what I expected. She probably sensed my disappointment when I looked at her because I didn’t do too much to hide it.See, as a teenager I wanted to fit in even more, I wanted to be popular, maybe have a boyfriend for prom. And I felt that Fatima just got in the way with her shyness and her strict dress code.I didn’t realize that I was making her feel like the kids at summer camp made me feel. This was the high school equivalent of asking her: do youknow what a hamburger is?I was consumed by my own selfishness and unable to put myself in her shoes. I have to be honest with you, we only lasted a couple of months together, because she was later sent to live with a counselor instead of other students.And I remember thinking: ah, she’ll be okay, she’s just different. You see, when we label someone as different it dehumanizes them in a way. They become the other. They’re not worthy of our time, not our problem and in fact, they, the other, are probably the cause of our problems.So how do we recognize our blind spots? It begins by understanding what makes you different, by embracing those traits. Only then can you begin to appreciate what makes other special.And I remember when this hit me, it was a couple months after that I had found out boyfriend for prom and made a group of friends and practically forgotten about Fatima, until everybody signed on to participate in this talent show for charity. You needed to offer a talent for auction and it seemed like everybody had something special to offer.Some kids were going to play the violin, others were going to recite a theater monologue. And I remember thinking we don’t practice talents like these back home. But I was determined to find something value.So the day the talent show comes and I get up onstage with my little boom box and put it on the side and I press play and a song by my favorite emerging artist Shakira comes up and I go: ‘whenever, wherever, we’re meant to be together’. And I said my name is Mariana and I’m going to auction a dance class and it seems like the whole school raised their hand to bid. My dance class really stood out from like the tenthviolin class offer that day.And going back to my dorm room, I didn’t feel different, I felt really special. And that’s when I started thinking about Fatima, a person that I had failed to see as special when I first met her. She was from the Middle East, just like Shakira’s family was from the Middle East, she could h ave probably taught me a thing or two about belly dancing had I been opened to it.Now I want you all to take that sticker that was given to you at the beginning of our session today where you wrote down what makes you special. And I want you to look at it. If you’re watching at home, take a piece of paper and write down what makes you different. You may feel guarded when you look at it, maybe even a little ashamed, maybe even proud. But you need to begin to embrace it. Remember it is the first step in appreciating what makes other special.When I went back home to Venezuela, I began to understand how these experiences were changing me, being able to speak different languages, to navigate all these different people and places. It gave me a unique sensibility. I was finally beginning to understand the importance of putting myself in other people’s shoes. And that is a big part of the reason why I decided to become a journalist, especially being from part of the world that is often labeled the backyard, the illegal aliens, third-world, the others, I wanted to do something to change that.It was right around the time, however, when the Venezuelan government shut down the biggest television station in our country. Censorship was growing and my dad came up to me once again and said: “How are you going to be a journalist here? You have to leave.” And that’s when it hit me. That’s what he had been preparing me for. That is what the future held for me.So in 2008, I packed my bags and I came to the United States without areturn ticket this time. I was painfully aware that a 24 years old I was becoming a refugee of sorts, an immigrant, the other, once again and now for good. I was able to come on a scholarship to study journalism and I remember when they gave me my first assignment to cover the historic election of President Barack Obama, and I felt so lucky, so hopeful. I was like yes this is it. I’ve come to post-racial America where the notion of us and them is being eroded and will probably be eradicated in my lifetime. Boy, was I wrong, right?Why didn’t Barack Obama’s presidency alleviate racial tensions in our country? Why do some people still feel threatened by immigrants, LGBTQ and minority groups who are just trying to find a space in this United States that should be for all of us? I didn’t have the answers back then.But on November 8, 2016 when Donald Trump became our president, it became clear that a large part of the electorate sees them as the others, some see people coming to take their jobs or potential terrorists whospeak a different language. Meanwhile minority groups often times just see hatred, intolerance and narrow-mindedness on the other side.It’s like we’re stuck in these bubbles that nobody wants to burst. And the only way to do it, the only way to get out of it is to realize that being different also means thinking differently. It takes courage to show respect. In the words of Voltaire: “I may not agree with what you have to say but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it.”Failing to see anything good on the other side makes a dialogue impossible. Without a dialogue we will keep repeating the same mistakes because we will not learn anything note. I covered the 2016 election for NBC News. It was my first big assignment in this mainstream network where I had crossed over from Spanish television and I wanted to do something different. I watched election results with undocumented families, few thought of sharing that moment with people who weren’t citizens bu t actually stood the most to lose that night.When it became apparent that Donald Trump was winning, this eight-year-old girl named Angelina rushed up to me in tears. She saw sobbed and she asked me if her mom was going to be deported now. I hugged her back and I said it’s going to be OK. But I really didn’t know.This was the photo that we took that night forever ingrained in my heart. Here was this little girl who was around the same age I was when I went to camp in Brainerd. She already knows she is the other. She walks home from school in fear every day her mom can be taken away.So how do we put ourselves in Angelina shoes? How do we make her understand she is special and not simply unworthy of having her family together? By giving camera time to her and families like hers, I tried to make people see them as human beings and not simply illegal aliens. Yes, they broke a law and they should pay a penalty for it but they’ve alsogiven everything for this country, like many other immigrants before them have.I’ve already told you how my path to personal growth started. To end I want to tell you how I hit the worst bump in the road yet, one that shook me to my very core. The day, April 10, 2014, I was driving to the studio and I got a call from my parents: or you want the air, they asked. I immediately knew something was wrong.“What happened?” I said.“It’s your sister; she’s been in a car accident.”It was as if my heart stopped. My hands gripped to the steering wheeland I remember hearing the words: ‘it is unlikely she will ever walk again’. They say your life can change in a split second; mine did at that moment. My sister went from being my successful other half, only a year apart in age to not being able to move her legs, sit up or get dressed by herself. And this wasn’t like summer camp where I could magically make it better. This was terrifying.Throughout the course of two years, my sister underwent 15 surgeries and she spent most of that time in a wheelchair. But that wasn’t even the worst of it. The worst was something so painful it’s hard to put into words even now. It was the way people looked at her, looked at us changed. People were unable to see a successful lawyer or a millennial with a sharp wit and a kind heart, everywhere we went I realized that people just saw poor girl in a wheelchair. They were unable to see anything beyond that.After fighting like a warrior, I can thankfully tell you that today my sister is walking and has recovered beyond anyone’s expectati ons.Thank you.But during that traumatic ordeal, I learned there are differences that simply suck and it’s hard to find positive in them. My sister’s not better off because of what happened but she taught me you can’t let those differences define you, being able to reimagine yourself beyond what other people see, that is the toughest task of all, but it’s also the most beautiful.You see, we all come to this world in a body, people with physical or neurological difficulties, environmentally impacted communities, immigrants, boys, girls, boys who want to dress as girls, girls with veils, women who have been sexually assaulted, athletes who bend their knee as a sign of protest, black, white, Asian, Native American, my sister, you or me — we all want what everyone wants: to dream and to achieve.But sometimes society tells us and we tell ourselves we don’t fit the mold. Well if you look at my story from being born somewhere different to belly dancing in high school to telling stories, you wouldn’t norm ally see on TV. What makes me different is what has made me stand out and be successful. I have traveled the world and talked to people from all walks of life and you know what I’ve learned: the single thing every one of us has in common is being human. So take a stand to defend your race, the human race. Let’s appeal to it, let’s be humanists before and after everything else.To end, I want you to take that sticker, that piece of paper where you wrote down what makes you different and I want you to celebrate it today and everyday, shout it from the rooftops. I also encourage you to be curious and ask what is on other people’s pieces of paper? What makes them different? Let’s celebrate those imperfections that make us special.I hope that it teaches you that nobody has a claim on the word normal.We are all different, we are all quirky and unique and that is what makes us wonderfully human.Thank you so much.。

Germany is becoming the most important soccer team in the world. But how has this change happened? A newspaper offers a clue：“For over 10 years，German teams have been building in the right way.”After Germany scored only one goal at the 2000 European Championships，Germans wondered why the country no longer produced good young players. So in 2001，the German Football League required that all Bundesliga (德甲) clubs set up schools with youth teams from Under-12s to Under-23s.The clubs now spend over €100 million (764 million yuan) on youth development every year. And they have improved young German players enough to put them among the best in Europe. For example，Bayern Munich(拜仁慕尼黑队) player Thomas Mueller，25，who scored five times at the 2014 World Cup，was educated in one of the schools. More than anything，though，it is team work that has pushed the Bundesliga forward. Bayern is the richest team in Germany，but the team helps its rivals (竞争者) when needed.Through the country’s World Cup performances(赛事)，the German soccer tradition is doing better than ever. Germany can play on top of the world for a few years yet.1．What is the passage mainly about?A．Why soccer is so popular in Germany？B．What has made Germany a successful soccer team.C．The failures and successes of the German soccer team.D．How the German soccer team became the world champions(冠军) this summer.2．What has helped Germany to the No.1 position in FIFA according to the passage?a. learning from other countries.b.developing young playersc. improving team workd.having competitions with other teamsA．a，b B．a，d C．c，d D．b，c3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．This year was the third time that Germany had won the World Cup.B．Since 2001Bundesliga clubs have spent over €100 million on youth development.C．It is believed that the German soccer team will perform well in the coming years.D．In the first ten years of the 21st century，Germany produced many top young players in Europe.B14、For years people have enjoyed following the life of Garfield the cat. Garfield is a popular comic book character, known for being lazy and fat. But the cat was back in the news recently for something you might not expect.A man in the United States changed the gender (性别) of Garfield to “none” on the cat’s Wikipedia (维基百科) page. After that lots of people got angry and kept changing Garfield’s Wikipedi a page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither.Wikipedia finally locked the page to stop people editing it. Jim Davis, Garfield’s creator, settled (解决) the argument. “Garfield is male (男性),” he simply told the Washington Post. The 71-year-old artist said he liked working with animals because they didn’t have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfield’s gender.It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument about gender.To celebrate International Women’s Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made 10 traffic lights with a figure (人形) dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate women and give them more confidence in public.But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some people think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but that this idea is silly.“I’m all for doing anything we can for gender equity (公平), but really?” Melbourne m ayor (市长) Robert Doyle told the Herald Sun.

Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.The course is divided into two parts: class time for learning laws and rules and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students study the basic traffic laws from a text to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone who wants to get a driver’s license.Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel and practice starting. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hours each time. So each student gets half an hour driving time per outing.Drivers' Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes(刹车), one on the driver's side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. So if the student driver should run into difficulties, the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That letsnearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced.After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the suitable age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a the state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all the three tests in order to be given a driver's license.1．We can infer that the students are required to ________ in their whole driving practice.A．go out driving for 12 times B．spend at least six hours drivingC．drive for two-hour blocks of time D．get half an hour driving2．In America, the driver's course mentioned above is ________.A．considered as part of the advanced educationB．given to anyone wanting to get a driver's licenseC．carried on at the same time as other coursesD．required of all the students of Grade 2 in high schools3．To prevent accidents, a driver's ED car ________.A．has a sign inside it B．has two sets of brakesC．is big enough to hold five persons D．can't run very fast4．Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver's license?

I am sure that all children who read The Ugly Duckling will be glad to know something about the ‘King of Story Tellers’, who wrote it for them. Thousands and thousands of children have read this story, only to ask for it again and again. It has travelled the wide world over, and has been told in every country.Hans Christian Andersen, the author of “The Ugly Duckling,” was born in Denmark. If you look on a map, you will see this little country in northern Europe. There, in the little village of Odense, he spent his boyhood. His father and mother were very poor. The family lived in two little rooms near the top of a house, where his father worked as a shoemaker. On the roof was a box filled with earth. In this box his mother planted her vegetables. Little Hans loved to walk with his father in the woods, where he could pick wild flowers and hear the birds sing. His father read to him when his work was done, or told him stories. What his father did helped him open up a new world.Once, when Hans was still a child, he went into a wheat field with his mother and a number of children, to pick the rest wheat which the reapers(收割机) had left in the field. While they were busy picking only a small amount of wheat for each of them, an angry bailiff(看守者) came rushing into the field, armed with a whip(鞭子). All ran, as fast as they could, away from the angry man.____________and the sharp stalks(茎秆) of the wheat plants which had been cut down, cut his feet so that he could not get away.Unaf raid, the boy faced the angry man and his upraised whip. “How dare you hit me when you know God sees you?” he cried, looking fearlessly into the face of the angry bailiff. The whip came down, but not on little Hans. The bailiff admired the boy’s courage, a nd praised him for it. He sent him home with gifts, rather than punishments.While Hans was still a boy, his kind father died. Then Hans and his mother were left alone, to care for each other. “What will you do, Hans?” the mother asked “Would you like to become a tailor?”“No, mother,” the boy answered; “I will go to Copenhagen and study. One day I shall write books.”“But where will the money be found to pay your way?” asked the mother.“I will work, and God will take care of me,” Hans replied.So the boy left his native village and walked all the way to Copenhagen, which was very far.1．What did Hans’ father do in the woods when the work was done?A．He gathered wild flowers with Hans.B．He taught Hans to make shoes.C．He read books or told stories to Hans.D．He picked remaining wheat with Hans.2．Why didn’t the bailiff hit Hans?A．Because he was afraid of Hans.B．Because he was too angry.C．Because Hans gave him some gifts.D．Because he admired Hans’ courage.3．What do you think the meaning of the underline sentence “Little Hans was barefoot” is?A．There was something wrong with Little Hans’ feet.B．Little Hans did not wear shoes.C．Little Hans was a disabled boy.D．Little Hans’ feet were cut by a sharp knife.4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Little Hans’ father made a living by making shoes .B．Little Hans’ father made a good difference to his life.C．Little Hans is a brave and smart boy.D．Little Hans’ father would pay hiswayto Copenhagen.5．What do you think Hans’ life would be like in Copenhagen?A．Hard. B．Relaxing.C．Colourful. D．LonelyF18、Look at your classmates around you. Y ou all wear the same uniform and similar shoes, even similar haircut. Do you want to be different from them? A fashionable and useful backpack can be a great idea!Backpacks are lightweight and easy to carry on then go. They are great tools for students. They help you to stay organized and tidy. You can keep school things, books and personal items like cell phones and keys neatly(整洁地). With a special and cool backpack, you can also stand out among your classmates.Tourists also love backpacks. With convenient backpacks, backpackers can move freely from one place to another. Meanwhile, they can also free their hands to do other things like taking photos.But in the very beginning backpacks were not what we see today.It is thought that US hiker Dick Kelty invented the first modern backpack in 1951. He used nylon(尼龙) to makebackpacks lightweight. Then he added shoulder straps(带子) and waist straps to transfer much of the weight to the hips(臀部).Today, backpacks come in different styles.Rolling backpacks have wheels on the bottom. Users can pull them along the ground if they are too heavy to carry on their shoulders.And with more people bringing notebook computers to school and work, backpacks also offer space for lightweight electronics. Most of them are in style and can be in good use.A backpack has already become a symbol of fashion in some way. So, why not carry your fashion with your backpack?1．What’s the writer’s idea for being different from other students?A．To wear surprising school uniforms.B．To get best grades.C．To own a fashionable backpack.D．To have a usual haircut.2．Students can use a wonderful backpack to _________.A．take photos B．lose weightC．stand higher D．keep school things3．Which of the following statement about the first backpack is NOT TRUE?A．It was invented in the 20th century.B．The inventor of it is an English hiker.C．It was made of cotton and nylon.D．It had shoulder straps and waist straps.4．How many new styles of backpacks are mentioned in this passage?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.5．Where can we read this passage possibly?A．A fashion magazine. B．A supermarket poster.C．A school notice-board. D．A tour guidebook.Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达最近科学家研究发现，现在的年轻人走路很少。
ted演讲稿高中生精选范文
ted演讲稿高中生精选范文TED(指technology, entertainment, design在英语中的缩写，即技术、娱乐、设计)是美国的一家私有非营利机构，该机构以它组织的TED大会著称，这个会议的宗旨是“值得传播的创意”.一起来看看ted演讲稿高中生精选范文，欢迎查阅!ted演讲稿1I grew up diagnosed as phobically shy,我从小就有社交恐惧症and like at least 20 other people in a room of this size,这样的空间大约20人I was a stutterer.就能让以前的我结巴语塞Do you dare raise your hand?更别提举手了根本不可能And it sticks with us.这种困扰如影随形It really does stick with us,你走到哪它就跟到哪because when we are treated that way,当大家对你的存在视若无睹we feel invisible sometimes,你会开始感觉自己是隐形人or talked around and at.而别人都在你背后窃窃私语And as I started to look at people,后来我仔细去观察周遭的人which is mostly all I did,一直以来我都只敢默默观察I noticed that some people really wanted attention然后发现有些人无法忍受被忽视and recognition.他们要得到大家的注意力和认同Remember, I was young then.当时我年轻、懵懂So what did they do? What we still do perhaps too often?渴望注意力的人会做什么? 也许现在太多人在做一样的事而不自知We talk about ourselves.他们谈论的常常都是自己And yet there are other people I observed who had what I called a mutuality mindset.但另一批人就不同了我说他们的人际关系往往有一种“互相”的心态In each situation, they found a way to talk about us and create that “us” idea.无论什么场合他们的谈话里都会出现“我们”这个概念So my idea to reimagine the world is to see it one where we all become greater opportunity-makers with and for others.在我心目中的理想世界每个人都能为自己和别人创造机会There’s no greater opportunity or call for action for us now 就是现在我们必须把握良机、采取行动than to become opportunity-makers who use best talents together more often for the greater good多去整合各种才能尽可能的利益他人and accomplish things we couldn’t have done on our own.一人做不到的多人或许有办法And I want to talk to you about that,这就是我今天的重点cause even more than giving,比单纯给予even more than giving,施舍、捐赠更有影响力的is the capacity for us to do something smarter together就是人们学会集思广益for the greater good that lifts us both up共同合作创造双赢局面and that can scale.其中的利益会一层层积累That’s why I’m sitting here.这是我今天演讲的重点But I also want to point something else out.不过我还想说一件事Each one of you is better than anybody else at something.台下的你必定在某些事上比其他人都拿手That disproves that popular notion that if you’re the smartest person in the room,和那句名言“你绝不是这里最厉害的人”you’re in the wrong room.恰恰相反So let me tell you about a Hollywood party I went to a couple years back,我在几年前的一个好莱坞聚会上and I met this up-and-coming actress,遇见了位有潜力的女演员and we were soon talking about something that we both felt passionately about,我们很快就找到共同话题-public art.公共艺术And she had the fervent belief that every new building in LosAngeles她坚信洛杉矶的每栋建筑里should have public art in it. She wanted a regulation for it, 都应该有公共艺术她想要一套专属公共艺术的规范and she fervently started,所以她兴忡忡的着手进行What is here from Chicago?这里有谁是芝加哥人吗?She fervently started talking about these bean-shaped reflective sculptures in Millennium Park,她滔滔不绝的说着千禧公园里的云门雕塑and people would walk up to it人们好奇的上前一探究竟and they’d smile in the reflection of it,看着自己的映像微笑and they’d pose and they’d vamp and they’d take selfies together摆pose、赞叹、自拍留念and they’d laugh.然后笑成一团And as she was talking, a thought came to my mind.听着听着我突然灵光乍现I said, “I know someone you ought to meet.我告诉她: “妳应该见见这个人He’s getting out of San Quentin in a couple of weeks再几周他就要从圣昆丁州立监狱出来了and he shares your fervent desire that art should engage and enable people to connect.”他跟妳一样觉得艺术应该让人有共鸣、激发想像力”He spent five years in solitary,他被单独监禁了五年and I met him because I gave a speech at San Quentin,我因为在圣昆丁演讲而与他结识and he’s articulate他口条不错and he’s rather easy on the eyes长的也不赖because he’s buff. He had workout regime he did everyday.因为他是条热爱健身的汉子I think she was following me at that point.女演员大概还满有兴趣的I said, “he’d be an une_pected ally.”我又说: “他会是个得力助手”And not just that. There’s James. He’s an architect除了他之外我把詹姆也拉进来詹姆是建筑师and he’s a professor,也是个教授and he loves place-making, and place-making is when you have those mini-plazas他对地方营造很有兴趣外头的小广场、and those urban walkways城市人行道and where they’re dotted with art,任何有艺术点缀的地方都属于地方营造的范畴where people draw and come up and talk sometimes.许多人会在那儿画画、闲聊I think they’d make good allies.我想他们一定能合作无间And indeed they were.果真没错They met together. They prepared.他们碰面之后就开始筹备They spoke in front of the Lost Angeles City Council.到洛杉矶市政府传达诉求And the council members not only passed the regulation,结果市议员通过了他们订的条例half of them came down and asked to pose with them afterwards.之后甚至半数议员还去与艺术品合影They were startling, compelling and credible.他们给人的印象是震慑、具说服力、可靠You can’t buy that.全都是用钱买不到的What I’m asking you to consider is what kind of opportunity-makers we might become,希望各位想想自己能成为哪种机会制造者because more than wealth比财富、or fancy titles头衔、or a lot of contacts,人脉更可观的it’s our capacity to connect around each other’s better side and bring it out.是我们发掘他人优点的能力And I’m not saying this is easy,这一点都不容易and I’m sure many of you have made the wrong moves too about who you wanted to connect with,相信许多人都有找错对象、牵错线的经验but what I want to suggest is, this is an opportunity.但毕竟都是个“机会”I started thinking about it way back when I was a Wall Street Journal reporter and I was in Europe这个领悟要从好几年前说起当时我在欧洲担任华尔街日报记者and I was supposed to cover trends and trends that transcended business or politics or lifestyle.采访内容为时尚与流行跨越商业、政治、生活型态隔阂的流行So I had to have contacts in different worlds very different than mine,因此得和背景截然不同的人打交道because otherwise you couldn’t spot the trends.否则就无法掌握潮流走向And third, I had to write a story in a way stepping into the reader’s shoes,写故事时还得设身处地为读者想they could see how these trends could affect their lives.要让他们觉得自己和这些潮流息息相关That’s what opportunity-makers do.这就是机会制造者的任务And here’s a strange thing:奇怪之处在于Unlike an increasing number of Americans who are working and living and playing with people who think e_actly like them 越来越多人工作、生活、娱乐都喜欢寻找与自己相似的人because we then become more rigid and e_treme,久而久之就变得挑剔、极端起来opportunity-makers are actively seeking situations with people unlike them,机会制造者寻找与自己不相似的人and they’re building relationships,和他们建立关系and because they do that,这样做的话they have trusted relationships where they can bring the right team in两方之间就有互信能在适当的时机介绍彼此适当的人and recruit them to solve a problem better and faster and seize more opportunities.用更快、更好的方法解决问题同时也抓住了更多机会They’re not affronted by differences.机会创造者不会被歧异冒犯They’re fascinated by them,反而深受吸引and that is a huge shift in mindset,这是心态上的极端不同and once you feel it, you want it to happen a lot more.你一旦意识到就会为它的魅力着迷This world is calling out for us to have a collective mindset, 和别人形成“共同体”才是王道and I believe in doing that.我个人深信It’s especially important now.携手合作在这世代特别重要Why is it important now?为什么呢?Because things can be devised like drones机器小帮手and drugs and data collection,药物开发、数据收集and they can be devised by more people.都可以让更多人参与其中and cheaper ways for beneficial purposes用更经济的方式创造收益and then, as we know from the news every day, they can be used for dangerous ones.只是水能载舟亦能复舟也可能被有心人士利用It calls on us, each of us, to a higher calling.这个理念非常需要大家的重视But here’s the icing on the cake:成为机会制造者是一箭双雕It’s not just the first opportunity that you do with somebody else that’s probably your greatest,除了获得和更高竿对象合作的机会as an institution or an individual.无论对于机构或个人来说It’s after you’ve had that e_perience and you trust each other.都是开启了这扇门建立信任后It’s the une_pected things that you devise later on you never could have predicted.团队合作带来的惊人成果For e_ample, Marty is the husband of that actress I mentioned,麦迪是那位女演员的丈夫and he watched them when they were practicing,詹姆等三人排练时他就在旁边看and he was soon talking to Wally, my friend the e_-con,并很快和韦利聊开了就是刚出狱的那位about that e_ercise regime.大概在聊健身吧?And he thought, I have a set of racquetball courts.麦迪心想: “我有个壁球馆That guy could teach it. A lot of people who work there are members at my courts.韦利可以来当教练很多教练都是体育馆的会员They’re frequent travelers.他们很常来我这边They could practice in their hotel room, no equipment provided.旅馆房间里没有设备也照样能练习”That’s how Wally got hired.韦利就这样得到了板球教练的工作Not only that, years later he was also teaching racquetball.几年后他也开始教壁球学生Years after that, he was teaching the racquetball teachers.再过了几年则是教壁球老师What I’m suggesting is, when you connect with people我想说的是当你把周遭有相同兴趣、around a shared interest and action,喜好的人圈在一块you’re a ccustomed to serendipitous things happening into the future,就会逐渐适应随之而来、意想不到的收获and I think that’s what we’re looking at.我想这才是至关重要We open ourselves up to those opportunities,面对机会我们敞开心胸and in this room are key players and technology,关键推手-这里的你们再加上科技key players who are uniquely positioned to do this,每个人各司其职有自己的位置to scale systems and projects together.提升制度和计划的整体价值So here’s what I’m calling for you to do. Remember the three traits of opportunity-makers.我想拜讬大家的就是记得机会制造者的三项特质Opportunity-makers keep honing their top strength一、机会制造者不断磨练自己专长and they become pattern seekers.开拓事物运作的新方式They get involved in different worlds than their worlds二、他们乐于接触不同人的世界so they’re trusted and they can see those patterns,获取信任学习各种合作方式and they communicate to connect around sweet spots of shared interest.三、他们周旋于各方之间让参与的人都分一杯羹So what I’m asking you is, the world is hungry.我想说的是人与人之间太缺乏连结I truly believe, in my firsthand e_perience,根据亲身经验我相信the world is hungry for us to unite together as opportunity-makers这世界很需要机会制造者and to emulate those behaviors as so many of you already do, I know that firsthand,可能台下的你已经是其中之一大家都应该效仿机会制造者and to reimagine a world where we use our best talents together重塑我们的世界融合各领域人才more often to accomplish greater thing together than we could on our own.一人不能做的事借由合作来完成Just remember,请把这句话放在心上as Dave Liniger once said,大卫˙林杰说过“You can’t succeed coming to the potluck with only a fork.”“只带一只叉子就来百乐餐的人永远无法成功”(注: 后衍伸为商业成长需要集体合作、贡献)Thank you very much.谢谢大家Thank you.谢谢。

Why TED is so popular?
TED is a very hot show in the world around many people, especially between the young people. We all know that there is a great variety of programs for us to choose,but why TED is the one we love? And why is it so attractive?
The first point should refer to the golden sentence of TED--Idea worth spreading. A truly novel idea is the key point to be success, only with the new and valuable ideas,such a program could attract its followers. Beyond this, TED also covers almost every field, like technology, entertainment, design, business, science and so on. It makes different people could find his own field of interest, and this feature perfectly meets the needs of the audiences at different levels. It is undeniable that TED does particularly well in this point.
Besides the excellent contents, the unique design of stage also becomes the second luminescent spot. Actually we have never lacked good speakers or ideas, but a right atmosphere. Just as micro-blog is strictly limited to 140 words per text, Ted's speech is usually within 18 minutes. To a large extent, it ensures the listeners to listen attentively. And its stage is quite different from the traditional, which have no platform and won’t pass the audience a feeling of being ins tructed . This is a quite particular and comfortable design for both speakers and audiences,
TED is so successful should give the credit to the domination of the internet and the powerful produce teams behind the stage, too. It is with those outstanding teams that we can enjoy the charm of every speaker, the energy behind every words and the value of every idea, no one program could be successful without a powerful
team.
In my view, Ted’s success is mainly due to above 3 points, and if ask me to describe TED in two words, that must be sweet and short. Good things are worth learning, I deeply hope that our Chinese programs will do better and better.。
