“Your mouth and your mind are wonderful things.”人的嘴巴和腦子是非 常奇妙的東西 They start working the minute you're born and never stop...它們從你生下來那一刻 起就開始工作。并且從 不停止…… until you get up to speak in public.直到你站起來面對公眾 演講時。“ ” Of all the many things to fear in life, 生活中所有讓人害怕的 事情中，people fear public speaking the most.最叫人害怕的是面對公 眾演講。

But stage fright is only half the challenge 但是，怯場還只是這種 挑戰的一半。

First you have to figure out what you're going to say.首先你得盤算好說些什 么。Here many people freeze, 許多人在這兒就卡住了，held back by the idea that speeches are magic, 認為演講很神秘，像是 魔法

and that they are some combination of special tricks 和難以企及的表演的某 種結合，and show business that cannot be achieved 正是這種看法

by the average person.令普通人望而卻步。Speeches are not magic.演講并不神秘。

A speech is a combination of information and opinion 演講實質上是寫在紙上 written on paper and spoken.由口頭表達的信息和意 見的結合體。If you can have a thoughtful conversation, 如果你能夠富有見解地 與人交談，you can write and give a thoughtful speech.你肯定能寫出和發表一 篇富有見地的演講。This is just one more reason 這又說明為什么

why spoken English is so important!口語如此重要。

Here are a few things I've learned as a speechwriter 下面是我當演講詞撰稿 人學到的幾點，That may help: 也許有幫助：

No speech should last more than 20 minutes.演講不要超過20分鐘。

The more important the message, 越是重要的信息，the less time required to say it.說的時間要越短。

The Gettysburg Address lasted only about three minutes.林肯總統的葛底斯堡演 講只用了僅僅三分鐘。In other words, 換句話說，the shorter our speech is, 你的演講越短，the more easily it can be remembered!就越容易給人留下深刻 印象。Focus on one topic.集中于一個主題。

It is too difficult to follow along 一場包含許多思想、觀 點的演講

to a speech that covers too man thoughts, opinions or ideas.很難使聽眾從頭至尾地 聽完。Choose your words carefully.遣詞用字細斟酌。

It's important to remember 記住這一點很重要，that your words must be hearable 你用的詞一開口就

and comprehensible the first time out.一定要讓人聽得見，聽 得懂。A lot of words sound alike.許多詞發音相似。For instance, 例如，如果你讀得快一 點，the words “eunuch” and “unique” sound very similar “eunuch”(太監)和“uni que”(惟一的；獨特的)when pronounced quickly.這兩個詞就很相似。

A speech that describes a unique responsibility 一篇描述一項特別責任 的演講 is very different from a speech 與一篇介紹太監職責的 演講

that describes a eunuch responsibility!有著天壤之別。

Certainly is!That's why pronounciation is also important.在選擇你的用詞的時候，in chosing your words.發音當然是非常重要的。

Humor is vital.as we demonstrate it, 幽默至關重要。Every speech needs it,and you need it, too,probably at the top.每篇演講都需要幽默，你也需要，也許就在演 講開始的時候。Ronald Reagan always wanted a joke 羅納德·里很總是在演 講 at the beginning of a speech 開始時講個笑話，because he needed the quick victory of laughter.因為他需要讓笑聲帶給 他迅捷的勝利。It helped him relax.這有助于他放松，It also helped the audience relax.也幫助聽眾放松。

Don't forget to say thanks.不要忘了致謝。

Say your thanks in the manner,or with the tone, 致謝時的態度或語氣

of someone who's been invited to a party 要像一個被邀請參加舞 會的人，and just walked in the door to shake the host's hand.而且是剛剛進門走上前 去和主人握手的那種樣 子。Offer a compliment or a warm word.說幾句熱情的恭維話。That's all that's needed.這樣就行了。

Giving a speech isn't as scary as it seems.做演講不是想像中的那 么恐怖；

You can do it if you try!Don't let the number one fear 只要你去嘗試就會成功!不要讓美國人的頭號 恐懼 of Americans be your number one fear!變成你的頭號恐懼!The following speech is a perfect example 下面的演講是一個很好 的例子，of all the right things to do in a speech!它將告訴你在演講過程 中你應該做的所有事情。It has a strong and classic beginning.開頭很經典。開門見山 說明目的，It states its purpose right away and it is well organized.而且文字組織得很好。

It builds a rapport with the audience and inspires the listener.它首先就與觀眾建立了 和諧的關系，很鼓舞觀 眾。Follow Teacher Li's words carefully 仔細閱讀李陽老師的演 講，because this speech was a big hit in South Korea.因為這次演講在韓國引 起了很大的轟動。He really is an international speech master!李陽老師是一個真正的 國際演講家!Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen: 女士們，先生們，I am very happy to have this opportunity 大家好很高興有此機會 到訪韓國

Our new company is determined to survive in the current economy.我們的新公司決心在當今經濟大潮中生存下去 We'll all grow and improve by the changes we make.通過變化和調整，我們都將成長和提高。business, government agency, university, hospital, bank anywhere in the world-the agenda regarding this technology.35 所以，今天我想和各位 談一談信息技術。我認為它必定已列入世 界各地企事業機構領導人的議 事日程，不管是企業、政府部門、大學、醫院還是銀行。

Some of you know that before I came to IBM, my background was a lot like yours.各位當中有些人知道，在來IBM任職之前，我的背景在許多方面和 你們都是一樣的。

I was a customer of IBM.I was a customer of the computer industry.我那時是1BM的客戶，或者說我是計算機產業 的客戶。I arrived at IBM with a firmly held conviction that this technology is one of those transformational technologies that comes along every hundred years or so and changes everything in our society.到IBM任職時，我有一 個堅定的信念：信息技術是一項劃時代 的技術；這樣的技術一百年左右 才會出現一次，而且它的到來會改變人 類社會的一切。

Today, in almost every industry in almost every part of the world there are many examples of enterprises applying this technology to seize competitive advantage and to create enormous challenges for their competitors.今天，在世界上幾乎每 一個角落的幾乎任何一 個產業里都有許多企業通過運用 信息技術來獲得競爭優勢，向競爭對手展開挑戰。I think we're seeing information technology reach the point that all transformational technologies reach when they are no longer controlled by just a small group of skilled professionals, and they cross over to mass acceptance and ubiquity.我認為我們正在目睹信 息技術進入所有劃時代的技術 都會經歷的一個重要階 段，它們不再只為少數專業 人員所掌握，而轉變到為大眾所接受，并無處不在。

Networking technology is still in its infancy, yet it has reached already the point where we can call it a new mass medium.Less than 5 years after the birth of the World Wide Web, some 90 million people are online around the world, and that number will be hundreds of millions before too long.雖然網絡技術還處于初 級階段，但是它已經可以被稱為一個新的大眾媒體。互聯網誕生還不到五年，全球已有九千萬人在使 用它。不需要多久，使用它的人將數以億計。

Here in China, the number of Internet users has nearly doubled since just last October, to more than 1 million users.在中國，自去年10月到現在，互聯網絡使用者的人數幾乎已翻了一番，達到 100多萬。

And I've seen statistics that say your Internet population will exceed 7 million people by the year 2001.我所掌握的統計資料表明，到2001年，中國互聯網絡使用者將 超過七百萬人。

And we all know it fast past that.The last statistic I read said that there are some where thirty millions Internet users in China.So prove the point I read later in this book.Don't spoil people with too many numbers--------------Welcoming an American Company歡迎美商致辭

I'm very happy that you have successfully established a branch office in Guangzhou.我非常高興你們最終把分支機構建在廣州。

Your presence here will greatly contribute to the Guangdong business community as a whole.你們的參與對廣東商界將是一個極大的貢獻。

I understand that the majority of employees here are Chinese, and I think you have made a wise decision, because such constructive employment practices will greatly promote a better understanding of both American and Chinese cultures.我聽說雇員中大多數是 中國人，我認為你們的決策是正 確的，因為這個具有建設性的雇傭體系將會有力地推進中美雙方文化的了解。

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country.因此，我的美國同胞們，不要問你們的國家能為你們做些什么，而應該問一問你們能為 你們的國家做些什么。

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.世界各國的公民們，不要問美國能為你們做 些什么要問一問我們一起能為 人類的自由做些什么。

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.最后，不管你是美國公民還是其他國家的公民，請以同樣的高標準要求 我們吧，就像我們要求你們那樣，也要求我們貢獻出力量.39 With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.作出犧牲吧!讓我們率 領著我們所熱愛的祖國，奮勇前進吧！問心無愧 將是我們惟一能得到的 報酬，歷史將是我們業績的最 后裁判。我們祈求上帝的保佑和 幫助，但我們知道，在這個世 界上，上帝的事業要靠 我們來實現。---------I HAVE A DREAM by MARTIN.LUTHER.KING我有一個夢想片段—馬丁路德金

Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.讓我們回到密西西比去，回到阿拉巴馬去，回到南卡羅采納去，回到佐治亞去，回到路易斯安那去，回到我們北方城市中的 貧民區和少數民族居住 區去，我們堅信這種狀況是能 夠也必將會改變的。我們不要陷入絕望的深 淵中

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of the day and tomorrow.朋友們，今天我對你們說，盡管今天和明天我們都 面臨著種種困難，I still have a dream.但我仍然有一個夢想。It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.這個夢想是深深扎根于美國的夢想中的。

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: we hold these truth to be self-evident:that all men are created equal.“ 我夢想有一天，這個國 家會站立起來，真正實現其信條的真諦:”我們認為這些真理是 不言而喻的：人人生而平等；“ ” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.我夢想有一天，在佐治亞的紅山上，昔日奴隸的兒子將能夠和昔日奴隸主的兒子坐在一起，共敘兄弟情誼。

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a(desert)state, swelte ring with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.我夢想有一天，甚至在 密西西比州這個正義匿跡、壓迫成風的地方，也變成自由和正義的綠 洲。

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today.我夢想有一天，我的四個孩子能生活在一個不是以他們的膚色，而是以他們的品格優劣來評價他們的國家里，我今天有一個夢想。I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right here in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today.41 我夢想有一天，阿拉巴 馬州能夠有所轉變，盡管該州州長現在仍然 滿口異議，反對聯邦法令，但有朝 一日，阿拉巴馬州這里的黑人 男孩和女孩就能與白人男孩和女孩 情同骨肉攜手并進。我今天有一 個夢想。

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted.Every hill and mountain shall be made low.The rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glow of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.This is our hope.我夢想有一天，幽谷上升，高山下降，坎坷曲折之路化為坦途，主的榮耀顯露，普照天地人間。這就是 我們的希望。

---------------------------China has an Olympic Dream中國有個奧林匹克夢 Everybody has a dream.每個人都有一個夢想。

Martin Luther King has a dream and we can all recall his famous Civil Rights speech.馬丁·路德·全有一個 夢想一一我們都能回憶起他著名的人權演講。Phil Knight had a dream and now the whole world knows his Nike slogan, “Just do it”.菲爾騎士有一個夢想一 一現在全世界人民都知道了他的耐克的口號：“只 管做吧!” China also has a dream, an Olympic dream.挑中國也同樣有一個夢想，一個奧林匹克夢想

A hundred years ago, a newspaper in Tianjin.Published an article about China's Olympic dream.一百年以前，天津出版的一份報紙刊登了中國奧林匹夢的文章，These challenging questions were raised.給當時的中國提出了三 個很有挑戰性的問題。

The first, when can China send a team to the Olympics? 首先，什么時候中國能派第一 支隊伍參加奧運會? The second, when can China win an Olympic gold medal? 其次，什么時候，中國人能贏 得第一塊金牌?

The third, when can China host an Olympic Games? 第三，什么時候中國能主辦奧 運會? As you all know, our country has answered the first two.公眾所周知，我們已經回答了前兩個 問題。

China sent its team nearly 70 years ago and won its first gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Games.Since then, we have all been hoping to answer the third.中國于70多年前就派她 的第一支代表隊參加了奧運會，并在1984年的洛杉磯奧 運會上贏得了第一塊全牌。從那一刻起，我們就企 盼著回答第三個問題。

Earlier this year, China started its final bid for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, our passion is to realize the last part of our Olympic dream.今年早些時候，中國開始了申辦2008年 奧運會的后續工作，我們的熱情將譜寫我們 奧林匹克夢的最后一部 曲。

That dream guided our first bid eight years ago.這個夢想引導我們在8 年前進行了第一次申辦 活動，No Chinese will soon forget the disappointment when it burst!所有的中國人都不會忘記那夢想破碎時的失望。

However, China's commitment to the Olympic movement has revived the dream.然而，中國對奧林匹克 運動的熱情又重新點燃了夢想的火 炬。As you know, China increased its participation in Sydney and brought home unparalleled success with 28 gold medals.45 大家都知道，中國隊積極參與悉尼奧運并捧回了史無前例的28 枚金牌。

In the past eight years, China has spared no efforts to host international sporting events and create a green environment for our Olympic dream.在過去的8年中，中國不遺余力地舉辦各種國際性的體育 賽事，為我們的奧林匹克夢創 造綠色環境。

It seems everyone is now trying to contribute to our Green Olympic bid.似乎每個人都在為我們 的綠色申奧貢獻力量

Even my 12-year-old cousin from Beijing is doing her part.連我北京12歲的表妹都在盡她的責任--When she visited my hometown during the Spring Festival, she proudly told me she is part of the “Green Angels Campaign”.Then, as if making an announcement at a conference, she declared every Sunday, she joins her Green Angels Group and spends two hours collecting litter in a park.她春節來我家的時候，驕傲地告訴我，她是“綠色天使活動”的一員。然后，像在會上宣布決定那樣，她宣布，每個星期天，她都參加綠色天使團活 動，在公園里撿兩個小時垃圾，I felt dubious, because I know she seldom does anything at home with her “tender little hands”.Let alone collecting litter!However, her parents confirmed and supported their daughter's efforts.我很懷疑，因為我知道，她在家里 很少用她那雙“嬌嫩的小手”做 事，更別提撿垃圾了!然而，她爸爸媽媽答應了，并支持他們的女兒這樣 做。

Beyond the recent personal, the whole country has for many years been laying foundations for this vision.除個人參與外，很多年來，整個國家一 直都在為此而打基礎，We are the global village, yet in the past two decades, we have made great social and economic progress.我們是地球村里人口最 多的國家，但在過去的二十年中，我們在社會和經濟發展 中取得了巨大的成就。

For the first time, instead of worrying about food, we now can choose from a wide variety of hypermarkets and restaurants for the first time, instead of concerns about a roof to shelter us, many are now buying their own apartments.我們第一次不用為食物擔憂，我們可以到超市和餐館里慢慢挑選；不再為我們的住所擔心，許多人都能購買自己的 公寓。So, for a whole country, China has regarded the opportunity to host the Olympics as a symbol of prosperity and also as a symbol of ration in the international community.對中國，我們把舉辦奧運的機會視為國家繁榮的象征，也是跟國際接軌的象征，This may also explain why so many Chinese were moved to tears each time the TV showed our national flag being raised in an Olympic stadium.這也可以解釋為什么這么多的中國人當從電視上看到我們的國旗從奧運 體育館升起的時候會激動得流淚。

Those Olympic achievements illustrate how the Chinese dragon is waking.這些成績講述了東方巨龍是怎樣醒來的。

Even my young cousin is waking to her responsibility to sacrifice study time and dirty her hands to see this dream fulfilled of hosting an Olympic Games.甚至我的表妹也意識到，她犧牲她的學習時間，弄臟她的小手，為了見證我們奧林匹克 夢想的實現。

Everyone feels overjoyed when a great dream comes true.當偉大夢想實現的時候，每個人都歡欣鼓舞，I will feel very happy if I can realize my dream today: to win this competition.如果我能夠實現我今天的夢想贏得此次比賽，The Chinese people will feel rewarded if they can win the bid this July and realize their Olympic dream, a century-old dream.我也將非常高興。如果中國人民能贏得7 月的勝利實現我們上百年的奧休匹克夢想，我們將會感覺到，這是 一種回報。

But like all dreams, you never know the ending until the last minute.但像所有的夢一樣，只有到最后一刻，你才 會知道它的結局，So, if I could add something more to Beijing's bid.I would simply say: “Hey, world, now is the time to let us 'JUST DO IT'!” 所以，如果我能為北京申奧作點什么的話.我只想簡單的說：“嘿，全世界人民，現在是讓我們'做'的時 候啦!” Thank you for dreaming with me!謝謝你們和我一起體驗 夢境--------------------

From a Speech-writer's Mouth演講稿撰稿者談演講

Someone once said, “Your mouth and your mind are wonderful things.有人曾經說過：”人的嘴巴和腦子是非 常奇妙的東西

They start working the minute you're born and never stop...until you get up to speak in public.它們從你生下來那一刻起就開始工作。并且從不停止，直到你站起來面對公眾演講時。

" Of all the many things to fear in life, people fear public speaking the most.生活中所有讓人害怕的 事情中，最叫人害怕的是面對公 眾演講。But stage fright is only half the challenge First you have to figure out what you're going to say.但是，怯場還只是這種挑戰的一半。首先你得盤算好說些什 么。

Here many people freeze, held back by the idea that speeches are magic, and that they are some combination of special tricks and show business that cannot be achieved by the average person.許多人在這兒就卡住了，認為演講很神秘，像是魔法和難以企及的表演的某種結合，正是這種看法令普通人望而卻步。Speeches are not magic.演講并不神秘。

A speech is a combination of information and opinion written on paper and spoken.演講實質上是寫在紙上由口頭表達的信息和意 見的結合體。If you can have a thoughtful conversation, you can write and give a thoughtful speech.49 如果你能夠富有見解地 與人交談，你肯定能寫出和發表一 篇富有見地的演講。

This is just one more reason why spoken English is so important!這又說明為什么口語如此重要。

Here are a few things I've learned as a speechwriter.That may help: 下面是我當演講詞撰稿 人學到的幾點，也許有幫助：

No speech should last more than 20 minutes.演講不要超過20分鐘。

The more important the message, the less time required to say it.越是重要的信息，說的時間要越短。

The Gettysburg Address lasted only about three minutes.林肯總統的葛底斯堡演講只用了僅僅三分鐘。

In other words, the shorter our speech is, the more easily it can be remembered!換句話說，你的演講越短，就越容易給人留下深刻 印象。Focus on one topic.集中于一個主題。

It is too difficult to follow along to a speech that covers too man thoughts, opinions or ideas.一場包含許多思想、觀 點的演講很難使聽眾從頭至尾地 聽完。Choose your words carefully.遣詞用字細斟酌。

It's important to remember that your words must be hearable and comprehensible the first time out.記住這一點很重要，你用的詞一開口就一定要讓人聽得見，聽得懂。

第五篇：TED演講中英對照3

My job is to design, build and study robots that communicate with people.But this story doesn't start with robotics at all, it starts with animation.When I first saw Pixar's “Luxo Jr.,” I was amazed by how much emotion they could put into something as trivial as a desk lamp.I mean, look at them--at the end of this movie, you actually feel something for two pieces of furniture.(Laughter)And I said, I have to learn how to do this.So I made a really bad career decision.And that's what my mom was like when I did it.(Laughter)I left a very cozy tech job in Israel at a nice software company and I moved to New York to study animation.And there I lived in a collapsing apartment building in Harlem with roommates.I'm not using this phrase metaphorically, the ceiling actually collapsed one day in our living room.Whenever they did those news stories about building violations in New York, they would put the report in front of our building.As kind of like a backdrop to show how bad things are.我的工作是設計、構造和研究 那些能夠與人交流的機器人。不過這個故事不是從機器人說起，而是要從動畫說起。當我第一次看到皮克斯的《頑皮跳跳燈》電影時，我驚呆了，一個如此微不足道的臺燈 竟能表現如此多的感情。你看他們啊！電影結尾的時候，你真的開始喜歡上這兩件小小的家具了。（笑聲）我對自己說，我要學會做這樣的東西。所以我做了一個很壞的職業決策，我做出這個決定的時候，我媽媽就是這樣的。（笑聲）我辭去了在以色列一個軟件公司的 一份非常舒服的技術工作，我搬到了紐約 去學習動畫。在那，我和我的室友住在 哈萊姆一棟即將坍塌的公寓樓里。我沒有夸張，有一天天花板真的塌下來了 就塌在了我們的客廳里。每次報到紐約的違章建筑時，他們都會跑到們的大樓下進行采訪。就好像讓你看看現場有多糟糕一樣。

Anyway, during the day I went to school and at night I would sit and draw frame by frame of pencil animation.And I learned two surprising lessons--one of them was that when you want to arouse emotions, it doesn't matter so much how something looks, it's all in the motion--it's in the timing of how the thing moves.And the second, was something one of our teachers told us.He actually did the weasel in Ice Age.And he said: “As an animator you are not a director, you're an actor.” So, if you want to find the right motion for a character, don't think about it, go use your body to find it--stand in front of a mirror, act it out in front of a camera--whatever you need.And then put it back in your character.言歸正傳，我上學的日日夜夜，我不停地一幅又一幅地用鉛筆畫著畫。我學到了兩個讓我驚訝的東西—— 其中一個是： 當你想要喚起某些情感時，外觀并不算太重要，關鍵是動作——物體運動時，對時間的把握。關鍵是動作——物體運動時，對時間的把握。第二個是我們的一個老師告訴我們的。他正是電影《冰河世紀》的黃鼠狼。他說： ”作為一個動畫制作者，你不是一個導演，而是一個演員。“ 所以如果你要為一個角色找到正確的肢體語言，不要想，用你的身體找到它，站在鏡子面前，攝像機前，演出來，無論你需要做什么。然后再把這個動作放在你的角色上。

A year later I found myself at MIT in the robotic life group, it was one of the first groups researching the relationships between humans and robots.And I still had this dream to make an actual, physical Luxo Jr.lamp.But I found that robots didn't move at all in this engaging way that I was used to for my animation studies.Instead, they were all--how should I put it, they were all kind of robotic.(Laughter)And I thought, what if I took whatever I learned in animation school, and used that to design my robotic desk lamp.So I went and designed frame by frame to try to make this robot as graceful and engaging as possible.And here when you see the robot interacting with me on a desktop.And I'm actually redesigning the robot so, unbeknownst to itself, it's kind of digging its own grave by helping me.(Laughter)I wanted it to be less of a mechanical structure giving me light, and more of a helpful, kind of quiet apprentice that's always there when you need it and doesn't really interfere.And when, for example, I'm looking for a battery that I can't find, in a subtle way, it will show me where the battery is.So you can see my confusion here.I'm not an actor.And I want you to notice how the same mechanical structure can at one point, just by the way it moves seem gentle and caring--and in the other case, seem violent and confrontational.And it's the same structure, just the motion is different.Actor: “You want to know something? Well, you want to know something? He was already dead!Just laying there, eyes glazed over!”(Laughter)But, moving in graceful ways is just one building block of this whole structure called human-robot interaction.I was at the time doing my Ph.D., I was working on human robot teamwork;teams of humans and robots working together.I was studying the engineering, the psychology, the philosophy of teamwork.And at the same time I found myself in my own kind of teamwork situation with a good friend of mine who is actually here.And in that situation we can easily imagine robots in the near future being there with us.It was after a Passover seder.We were folding up a lot of folding chairs, and I was amazed at how quickly we found our own rhythm.Everybody did their own part.We didn't have to divide our tasks.We didn't have to communicate verbally about this.It all just happened.And I thought, humans and robots don't look at all like this.When humans and robots interact, it's much more like a chess game.The human does a thing, the robot analyzes whatever the human did, then the robot decides what to do next, plans it and does it.And then the human waits, until it's their turn again.So, it's much more like a chess game and that makes sense because chess is great for mathematicians and computer scientists.It's all about information analysis, decision making and planning.一年以后，我去了麻省理工大學（MIT）的 機器人生命小組，這是最早 開始研究人類和機器人關系的小組之一。我依然懷揣著要造一個 真正的、可觸碰的頑皮跳跳燈的夢想。但是我發現機器人完全不是 按照我的動畫課程中的那種 引人入勝的方式移動。相反的，他們都—— 該怎么說呢？他們都有點兒機械化。（笑聲）我就想，如果我可以把我在動畫學校學到的東西 應用于設計我的機器人臺燈會怎樣？ 因此我設計了一幅又一幅，試圖讓這個機器人 盡量優雅、有吸引力。這里你可以看到這個桌子上的機器人 在跟我互動，我其實是在重新設計這個機器人，而這個機器人完全不知道，它幫我，其實是在自掘墳墓呢。（笑聲）比起把他它做成一個照明的機械，比起把他它做成一個照明的機械，我更想要一個能幫忙的、安靜的學徒，隨時滿足你的需求卻不打擾你。比如，當我要找一個我怎么也 找不到的電池時，它可以巧妙地提醒我電池在哪里。你看到我的困惑了嗎？ 我不是一個演員。我希望你們注意到，同一個機械如何 在前一刻非常溫柔、充滿關懷，在前一刻非常溫柔、充滿關懷，下一刻又顯得非常暴力，有進攻性。一模一樣的結構，改變的僅僅是動作。演員：”你想知道嗎？你真的想知道嗎？ 他已經死了！他就躺在那里，目光呆滯！“（笑聲）但是，以一種優雅的方式移動只是這整個 人類機器人互動結構的一塊基石。那時候我正在攻讀我的博士學位，我正在研究人類與機器人的團隊合作，也就是人類和機器人一起合作。我在學習團隊合作的工程學，心理學和哲學。同時，我意識到自己 和我的一個好朋友（他今天也在這里），也碰到了一個團隊合作的情境。在那個情境中，我們很容易想象 不久的將來機器人會和我們在一起。那是在一個逾越節家宴結束后，我們要收起大量的折疊椅，我驚訝于我們迅速找到了各自的節奏。每個人都做了自己的那部分，無需分工，無需特意口頭溝通。就這樣發生了。于是我想，人類和機器人的互動卻完全不是這樣。當人類和機器人互動的時候，就好像他們在下象棋。人類走一步，機器人對此分析一下，然后機器人決定接下來怎么做，計劃好，走下一步。這時候人類就等著，直到輪到他們玩為止。所以，人類和機器人的互動更像下象棋，這很好理解，因為 對數學家和計算機科學家來說，象棋很好，它們都是關于信息分析、決策制定和計劃。

But I wanted my robot to be less of a chess player, and more like a doer that just clicks and works together.So I made my second horrible career choice: I decided to study acting for a semester.I took off from a Ph.D.I went to acting classes.I actually participated in a play, I hope theres no video of that around still.And I got every book I could find about acting, including one from the 19th century that I got from the library.And I was really amazed because my name was the second name on the list--the previous name was in 1889.(Laughter)And this book was kind of waiting for 100 years to be rediscovered for robotics.And this book shows actors how to move every muscle in the body to match every kind of emotion that they want to express.但比起象棋玩家，我更希望我的機器人是一個行動者，但比起象棋玩家，我更希望我的機器人是一個行動者，可以和人類有默契地一起工作。于是我做了我人生中的第二個糟糕的職業決策： 我決定學習一學期的表演課程。我放下了我的博士課程，去上了表演課。我還參與了一個戲劇，希望現在已經找不到那個視頻了。我找到了每一本關于表演的書，其中包括一本從圖書館里借來的 19世紀的書。我震驚地發現我的名字是借閱者名單上的第二個，之前的一個名字是1889年。（笑聲）這本書已經躺了100年了，只為了借機器人之名被重新發現。這本書教演員 如何調動他們身體上的每塊肌肉 來表達他們想要表達的情感。

But the real revelation was when I learned about method acting.It became very popular in the 20th century.And method acting said, you don't have to plan every muscle in your body.Instead you have to use your body to find the right movement.You have to use your sense memory to reconstruct the emotions and kind of think with your body to find the right expression.Improvise, play off yor scene partner.And this came at the same time as I was reading about this trend in cognitive psychology called embodied cognition.Which also talks about the same ideas--We use our bodies to think, we don't just think with our brains and use our bodies to move.but our bodies feed back into our brain to generate the way that we behave.And it was like a lightning bolt.I went back to my office.I wrote this paper--which I never really published called “Acting Lessons for Artificial Intelligence.” And I even took another month to do what was then the first theater play with a human and a robot acting together.That's what you saw before with the actors.And I thought: How can we make an artificial intelligence model--computer, computational model--that will model some of these ideas of improvisation, of taking risks, of taking chances, even of making mistakes.Maybe it can make for better robotic teammates.So I worked for quite a long time on these models and I implemented them on a number of robots.Here you can see a very early example with the robots trying to use this embodied artificial intelligence, to try to match my movements as closely as possible, sort of like a game.Let's look at it.You can see when I psych it out, it gets fooled.And it's a little bit like what you might see actors do when they try to mirror each other to find the right synchrony between them.And then, I did another experiment, and I got people off the street to use the robotic desk lamp, and try out this idea of embodied artificial intelligence.So, I actually used two kinds of brains for the same robot.The robot is the same lamp that you saw, and I put in it two brains.For one half of the people, I put in a brain that's kind of the traditional, calculated robotic brain.It waits for its turn, it analyzes everything, it plans.Let's call it the calculated brain.The other got more the stage actor, risk taker brain.Let's call it the adventurous brain.It sometimes acts without knowing everything it has to know.It sometimes makes mistakes and corrects them.And I had them do this very tedious task that took almost 20 minutes and they had to work together.Somehow simulating like a factory job of repetitively doing the same thing.And what I found was that people actually loved the adventurous robot.And they thought it was more intelligent, more committed, a better member of the team, contributed to the success of the team more.They even called it 'he' and 'she,' whereas people with the calculated brain called it 'it.' And nobody ever called it 'he' or 'she'.When they talked about it after the task with the adventurous brain, they said, “By the end, we were good friends and high-fived mentally.” Whatever that means.(Laughter)Sounds painful.Whereas the people with the calculated brain said it was just like a lazy apprentice.It only did what it was supposed to do and nothing more.Which is almost what people expect robots to do, so I was surprised that people had higher expectations of robots, than what anybody in robotics thought robots should be doing.And in a way, I thought, maybe it's time--just like method acting changed the way people thought about acting in the 19th century, from going from the very calculated, planned way of behaving, to a more intuitive, risk-taking, embodied way of behaving.Maybe it's time for robots to have the same kind of revolution.真正讓我受到啟示的是 方法演技。它在20世紀的時候非常流行。方法演技指出，你不需要安排你的每一塊肌肉，相反，你可以用你的身體找到對的動作。你應該運用你的感覺記憶，去重新建構情感，用你的身體找到對的表情。即興發揮，根據你的場景搭檔即興表演。這個時候我也正讀到 認知心理學關于具身認知的東西，這也談到同樣的觀點—— 即我們用我們的身體思考，我們并不是用大腦思考用身體表現，而是我們的身體反饋給大腦 并做出相應的動作，這對我好像一道閃電。我馬上回了我的辦公室。我寫了這篇論文，從來也沒發表過，叫做《人工智能的表演課》。我甚至花了一個月的時間 去做當時第一部由人類和機器人 一起主演的戲劇。你之前看到的演員和機器人的表演就是這部戲劇。當時我就想： 我們怎樣可以做出這樣的人工智能模型—— 計算機、計算機模型等等，它們會即興發揮、會冒險、甚至會犯錯。它可能會是更好的機器人隊友。因此我花了很多時間去研究這些模型，我還在幾個機器人身上做了試驗。這里你可以看到一個早期的例子，這個機器人試圖運用具身人工智能 來盡量模仿我的動作，就好像一個游戲。我們來看一下。你可以看到我可以糊弄它。有點像你可能看到的演員們 互相模仿對方 只為了找到他們之間的默契。然后，我又做了另外一個實驗，我從大街上拉人來使用這個機器人臺燈，試驗具身人工智能。其實，同樣的機器人我用了兩個大腦，機器人就是你看到的這個臺燈，我給了它兩個大腦。對一半的人，我放入了一個傳統的、機械計算的大腦。它會等，會分析，會計劃，我們暫且稱它為“會計算的大腦”。給另一半人則是那個舞臺演員、愛冒險的大腦，我們暫且稱它為“愛冒險的大腦”，有的時候它在并不知道所有事情的時候行動，有的時候它會犯錯然后去糾正。我讓他們完成一項無比乏味的任務，這個任務要花近20分鐘，他們必須一起合作完成，有點類似在工廠工作，機械地重復一件事情。我發現人們非常喜歡 那個“愛冒險的機器人”。他們覺得它非常聰明，非常忠心，是一個很好的團隊成員，一起幫助團隊成功。他們甚至稱它為“他”和“她”，而另外那些人稱那個“會計算的機器人”為“它”，沒有人稱它為“他”或“她”。任務完成后，那些與“會冒險的大腦”互動的人說： “最后，我們成了好朋友，還在腦內舉手擊掌了。” 不管那是啥意思……（笑聲）聽上去很…（口齒不清）然而，那些與“會計算的大腦”互動的人 則說“它就像一個懶徒弟，只做最基本的。“ 這基本上和同人對機器人期待一樣，所以我有些驚訝，比起那些機器人研究專家，人們居然對機器人有更高的期望。但從另一個角度，我又想，也許就像方法演技改變了 19世紀人們思考表演的方式一樣，是時間改變這種通過精確計算的 行為方式，而轉向一種更直覺的、冒險的、用身體表現的行為方式。也許類似的 機器人革命時間到了。A few years later, I was at my next research job at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, and I was working in a group dealing with robotic musicians.And I thought, music, that's the perfect place to look at teamwork, coordination, timing, improvisation--and we just got this robot playing marimba.Marimba, for everybody who was like me, it was this huge, wooden xylophone.And, when I was looking at this, I looked at other works in human-robot improvisation--yes, there are other works in human-robot improvisation--and they were also a little bit like a chess game.The human would play, the robot would analyze what was played, would improvise their own part.So, this is what musicians called a call and response interaction, and it also fits very well, robots and artificial intelligence.But I thought, if I use the same ideas I used in the theater play and in the teamwork studies, maybe I can make the robots jam together like a band.Everybody's riffing off each other, nobody is stopping it for a moment.And so, I tried to do the same things, this time with music, where the robot doesn't really know what it's about to play.It just sort of moves its body and uses opportunities to play, And does what my jazz teacher when I was 17 taught me.She said, when you improvise, sometimes you don't know what you're doing and you're still doing it.And so I tried to make a robot that doesn't actually know what it's doing, but it's still doing it.So let's look at a few seconds from this performance.Where the robot listens to the human musician and improvises.And then, look at how the human musician also responds to what the robot is doing, and picking up from its behavior.And at some point can even be surprised by what the robot came up with.(Music)(Applause)幾年后，我在亞特蘭大的喬治理工大學做研究，我在一個研究機器人音樂家的 小組工作。我想，音樂是可以很好的 研究團隊合作、配合、時間分配和即興表演的領域，我們有這個玩馬林巴的機器人。和我一樣對樂器不在行的朋友，馬林巴是 一個巨大的木琴。我看著這個，又看了那些其它的人類和機器人的即興互動，——沒錯，還有其它人和機器人即興互動的項目—— 都差不多也是一個個象棋游戲式的互動。人類走一步，機器人對此分析，然后決定下一步。音樂家們稱其為 呼叫和應答互動，作為機器人和人工智能，這很合適。但是我想，如果我可以運用 戲劇表演和團隊合作中的研究發現，也許我可以讓這些機器人 組成一個樂隊，每個人都在即興發揮，沒有人需要停下來。于是這次我嘗試用音樂做試驗，機器人并不知道 它會演奏什么，它就這樣移動它的身體，找機會演奏，做著我17歲時候的爵士老師教我的事情。她說，當你即興表演的時候，有的時候，你并不知道你在做什么，但是你還是繼續做。于是我嘗試做一個不知道自己在做什么 卻仍然繼續做的機器人。讓我們來看一下這個表演的一個小片段。機器人聽人類音樂家演奏 然后即興發揮。接著，看人類音樂家如何 回應機器人的行為，回應機器人的行為，有時甚至被機器人的表現驚訝。（音樂）（掌聲）

Being a musician is not just about making notes, otherwise nobody would ever go see a live show.Musicians also communicate with their bodies, with other band members, with the audience, they use their bodies to express the music.And I thought, we already have a robot musician on stage, why not make it be a full-fledged musician.And I started designing a socially expressive head for the robot.The head does't actually touch the marimba, it just expresses what the music is like.These are some napkin sketches from a bar in Atlanta, that was dangerously located exactly halfway between my lab and my home.(Laughter)So I spent, I would say on average, three to four hours a day there.I think.(Laughter)And I went back to my animation tools and tried to figure out not just what a robotic musician would look like, but especially what a robotic musician would move like.To sort of show that it doesn't like what the other person is playing--and maybe show whatever beat it's feeling at the moment.作為一個音樂家不僅僅是編寫音符，否則沒有人會去看現場表演了。音樂家也用他們的身體交流，和他們的樂隊成員，和觀眾，他們用他們的身體來表現音樂。于是我想，我們已經有一個在舞臺上的機器人音樂家，為什么不把它打造成一個真正的音樂家呢？ 于是我開始為機器人設計一個 可以表現情感的頭部。頭部并不會碰到馬林巴，它只是用來表現音樂是什么樣的。這草圖的紙巾來自亞特蘭大某處一個酒吧，而且酒吧就正好在實驗室和我家的正中間。（笑聲）而且酒吧就正好在實驗室和我家的正中間。（笑聲）我大概平均 每天有3到4個小時的時間在那里，“大概”…（笑聲）我重新拾起了我的動畫工具，試圖想象 不僅僅一個機器人音樂家的樣子，特別是一個機器人音樂家會如何移動它的身體，來告訴人們它不喜歡其他人的演奏，還有它自己當下感覺到的節奏。還有它自己當下感覺到的節奏。

So we ended up actually getting the money to build this robot, which was nice.I'm going to show you now the same kind of performance, this time with a socially expressive head.And notice one thing--how the robot is really showing us the beat it's picking up from the human.We're also giving the human a sense that the robot knows what it's doing.And also how it changes the way it moves as soon as it starts its own solo.(Music)Now it's looking at me to make sure I'm listening.(Music)And now look at the final chord of the piece again, and this time the robot communicates with its body when it's busy doing its own thing.And when it's ready to coordinate the final chord with me.(Music)(Applause)幸運的是，我們最終還獲得了一筆 造這樣一個機器人的資金。接下來我給大家看一下同樣的表演 換成一個情感表現頭的效果。注意一點： 請觀察這個機器人如何 根據人類的演奏即興發揮，也讓人類知道，這個機器人知道它在做什么。還有獨奏開始時，它是如何做出回應的。還有獨奏開始時，它是如何做出回應的。（音樂）這會兒它正看著我確保我在聽。（音樂）我們再看一下這段的最后一部分，現在機器人正在用它的身體進行溝通，當它正忙于做它自己的事情時，忙于準備 跟我一起演奏最后的旋律。（音樂）（掌聲）

Thanks.I hope you see how much this totally not--how much this part of the body that doesn't touch the instrument actually helps with the musical performance.And at some point, we are in Atlanta, so obviously some rapper will come into our lab at some point.And we had this rapper come in and do a little jam with the robot.And here you can see the robot basically responding to the beat and--notice two things.One, how irresistible it is to join the robot while it's moving its head.and you kind of want to move your own head when it does it.And second, even though the rapper is really focused on his iPhone, as soon as the robot turns to him, he turns back.So even though it's just in the periphery of his vision--it's just in the corner of his eye--it's very powerful.And the reason is that we can't ignore physical things moving in our environment.We are wired for that.So, if you have a problem with maybe your partners looking at the iPhone too much or their smartphone too much, you might want to have a robot there to get their attention.(Laughter)(Music)(Applause)謝謝。我希望你能看到 它的頭部不碰到樂器 其實有助于音樂表演！既然我們在亞特蘭大，就不會沒有說唱歌手參與到我們的試驗中來。既然我們在亞特蘭大，就不會沒有說唱歌手參與到我們的試驗中來。這個說唱歌手來了之后，我們讓他和這個機器人一起表演。這里你可以看到這個機器人 對節奏的回應，請注意兩點。第一，當這個機器人在搖頭晃腦的時候，你是不是也很想加入其中，和它一起晃動你的頭部？ 第二，雖然這個說唱歌手非常專注于它的蘋果手機，當機器人轉向它的時候，他也馬上轉回來。雖然僅僅是在他的視線邊緣—— 他的眼角的余光里，它仍然非常強大。這就是為什么我們不能忽視 我們周邊物體的移動。我們天生會這樣做。所以，如果你的搭檔 很喜歡看它的蘋果手機或智能手機，也許你需要一個機器人 來獲得他們的注意力。（笑聲）（音樂）（掌聲）

Just to introduce the last robot that we've worked on, that came out of something kind of surprising that we found: At some point people didn't care anymore about the robot being so intelligent, and can improvise and listen, and do all these embodied intelligence things that I spent years on developing.They really liked that the robot was enjoying the music.(Laughter)And they didn't say that the robot was moving to the music, they said that the robot was enjoying the music.And we thought, why don't we take this idea, and I designed a new piece of furniture.This time it wasn't a desk lamp;it was a speaker dock.It was one of those things you plug your smartphone in.And I thought, what would happen if your speaker dock didn't just play the music for you, but it would actually enjoy it too.(Laughter)And so again, here are some animation tests from an early stage.(Laughter)And this is what the final product looked like.(“Drop It Like It's Hot”)So, a lot of bobbing head.(Applause)A lot of bobbing heads in the audience, so we can still see robots influence people.And it's not just fun and games.最后再為大家介紹一下 我們最近在打造的一個機器人。說來也奇怪，我們發現 到了某個階段，人們不再對那些聰明的、會即興表演、會聆聽、會做那些我花了多年研究的身體智能表演的 機器人感興趣了。他們真的很喜歡那個會享受音樂的機器人。（笑聲）他們沒有說這個機器人是隨著音樂扭動身體，而是說這個機器人在享受音樂。于是我們想，為什么不借用這個想法呢，因此我設計了一件新的小家具。這次不是一個臺燈，而是一個揚聲器底座，就是你可以把你的智能手機放上去的那種。于是我想，如果這個揚聲器底座 不僅可以為你放音樂，還可以享受音樂，會怎樣？（笑聲）這是早期的一些動畫嘗試。這是早期的一些動畫嘗試。這是最終的成品的樣子。饒舌音樂 不停的點頭……（掌聲）觀眾那里也有很多人在不停點頭，因此我們可以看到機器人可以影響人。當然這一切不僅僅只是娛樂和游戲。

I think one of the reasons I care so much about robots that use their body to communicate and use their body to move--and I'm going to let you in on a little secret we roboticists are hiding--is that every one of you is going to be living with a robot at some point in their life.Somewhere in your future there's going to be a robot in your life.And if not in yours, then in your children's lives.And I want these robots to be--to be more fluent, more engaging, more graceful than currently they seem to be.And for that I think that maybe robots need to be less like chess players and more like stage actors and more like musicians.Maybe they should be able to take chances and improvise.And maybe they should be able to anticipate what you're about to do.And maybe they need to be able to make mistakes and correct them, because in the end we are human.And maybe as humans, robots that are a little less than perfect are just perfect for us.Thank you.(Applause)我覺得自己非常熱衷研究 那些可以用身體溝通、用身體移動的機器人的一個原因是—— 我告訴你一個只有我們機器人專家知道的秘密—— 我們每一個人在生命的某個階段 都會需要機器人，你未來的某個階段會有個機器人。如果不是你的未來，那么你的孩子的未來。我希望這些機器人 比現在 可以更流暢、更吸引人、更優雅。比現在 可以更流暢、更吸引人、更優雅。因此，我覺得機器人 不應該是像一個象棋玩家，而應該更像一個舞臺演員或者音樂家。它們應該可以冒險，會即興表演，甚至會預料到你接下來會做什么。它們也應該可以犯錯 并且改正，因為到頭來，我們只是人類。也許對人類而言，不完美的機器人 才是完美的。謝謝！
