第一篇:一分鐘英語演講
I still remember the Tatinic.Though it's a big ship , it still sunk.So ,in my opinion ,the best ship is the friendship.Everyone needs friends because there are a lot of things that you can't deal with yourself, and the friends just make up for it.friendship just likes the sun ,it can make you fell warm though in the cold winter.friendship just likes the water in the desert ,it can make you fell that in the world.There still has hope.In a word ,the friendship is the same meaning as the greatness ,selfness and devotion.To make friends ,adding a friend equals adding a way ,open your heart ,devote yourself, let friendship make your world colourful.

My Favorite Color 我最喜歡的顏色
Blue has always been my favorite color, and I think it will always continue to be so.I have several reasons for liking this color best.First, it is a very soothing color and makes people happy.How do people feel when they wake up to day when the sky is a dirty grey? Sad and gloomy.But when the sky is a deep blue, good cheer and joy enters our hearts.Another reason why I am most partial to blue is that it is the color of oceans and rivers and lakes on a sunny day.Whenever I go swimming, I feel as though I were reborn.In my estimation, blue is a very refined a noble color.I have several suits of clothes of different colors, but somehow blue seems to be most becoming to me.At the same time, all my friends say that I tend to look slim and taller whenever I’m dressed in blue.I have also heard that in English, the term “true blue” means to be faithful.As I have a great respect for the quality of faithfulness, this is one more reason for my liking blue so much.藍色一直是我最喜歡的顏色,而且我認為一直都會是這樣。
我有幾個最喜歡這種顏色的理由。第一,它是一種使人平和、快樂的顏色。當人們睡醒時,看到一個灰暗的天空,他們會感覺如何?沮喪憂郁。但是當天空是深藍色時,喜悅和快樂就進入我們心中。
我偏愛藍色的另一個理由,是因為它是海洋、河流、湖泊在晴朗日子時的顏色。每當我去游泳,我覺得我好像重生了。
我認為,藍色是一種優雅、高貴的顏色,我有幾套不同顏色的衣服,但是不知怎么,藍色似乎是適合我。同時,我的朋友都說,每當我穿藍色的衣服時,似乎看起來更修長、更高佻。我也聽說過英文里有個名詞,“不褪色的藍”,意思是忠實的,因為我很崇尚忠實這種品德,這又是我這么喜歡藍色的另一個理由了。

I remember that when I was in my teens, I used to rebel at many of the “do’s” and “don’ts” my parents used to dictate to me.For example, when I kept on playing jazz records on the record player, my father used to condemn such music as sheer noise and replace them with disks of classical music that I always considered extremely dull.My mom and dad were also very particular about the friends I went out with, always quoting the maxim the “one rotten apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples.” When I insisted that I sleep with my pet dog Peppy, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas.These are just a few examples of many of the things that I thought my parents were unreasonable about.Today, however, I am also the father of a boy of fifteen, and I find that I, too, am pressuring my son with a lot of rules and regulations that he seems to find hard to swallow.The other day, I noticed that my son’s hair was altogether too long, so I told him to go to the barber’s and get it trimmed short.Ordinarily, he is fairly obedient, but this time he put his foot down.“What’s wrong with long hair?” he said.“All my buddies have long hair.And besides, it’s my own hair, isn’t it? I don’t think you have the authority to order me to cut it short, even if you’re my father!”
When I was a boy, if I had spoken with such impertinence to my father, I know that he would have given me a good thrashing.But I suddenly realized that we are now living in a more liberal world, and that my son’s insistence on wearing his hair long was merely an instance of the generation gap that existed between us.So I relented, and so he still wears his hair long.論代溝
記得我十幾歲時,我總是反抗父母指定我做及不要我做的許多事。例如,當我用唱機聽爵士唱片時,父親總指責這種音樂只是噪音,而換上我一直認為是最沉悶的古典音樂唱片。我爸爸媽媽對和我一起出去的朋友也很挑剔,并常引用格言說:“一顆老鼠屎壞了一鍋粥?!碑斘覉猿忠臀业男」放灞纫黄鹚?,他們馬上說“不行”,因為他們認為我會被跳蚤給咬了。這些只是我認為父母許多不合理的事中的一個例子。然而,今天我也是個十五歲小孩的父親。我發現自己也用一大堆我兒子似乎覺得難以忍受的規定來壓迫他。前幾天,我注意到我兒子的頭發實在太長了,所以便叫他到理發店去修短。平常他是很聽話的,但這次他堅持。“長頭發有什么不對?”他說,“我所有的朋友都留長頭發,況且,這是我自己的頭發,不是嗎?我認為你沒權力命令我把它剪短,即使你是我父親?!?/p>
小時候,如果我對父親講話這么無禮,我知道會招來一頓好打。但是我突然了解到我們現在是生活在一個更自由的世界。我兒子堅持留長發,只是存在于我們之間的代溝的一例。因此我態度變溫和了,也因此他現在還留著長發。

The Person I Admire Most 我最敬佩的人 There are quite a few people that I admire greatly, but the one that comes first on my list is Abraham Lincoln, the great American emancipator.Although he was born poor, he worked hard and honestly, and eventually became President of the
A part from the many fine qualities that Lincoln had, I admire him most because he dared to do what he thought was right at a time when his beliefs were very unpopular with many people.He also had infinite patience and tolerance for those who disagreed with him, and bore their discourtesy toward him with admirable restraint.He also had the manliness to forgive his opponents.When the Civil War ended, he treated his erstwhile enemies with great generosity.The words which are carved on the walls of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.were taken from his famous Second Inaugural Address and begin with he phrases which I shall never forget: “With malice toward none, with charity for all…”
我最敬佩的人
我敬佩的人有很多,但是我表上列的第一個是亞伯拉罕.林肯,美國偉大的解放者。雖然他生下來就很窮,他努力、誠實地工作,終于成為美國總統。
除去林肯的許多優良品德不談,他最令我欽佩的原因是,只要他認為是對的,即使他的信念還未普遍為人接受,他就敢去做。他對那些不贊同他的人,有著無比的耐心和寬容,克制自己忍受他們對他的無禮,令人敬佩。他也有男性氣概原諒他的反對者。內戰結束后,他對待以前的敵人無比寬大??淘谌A盛頓特區林肯紀念堂上的幾句話,是從他著名的第二次就職演說是摘錄出來的。開頭的幾句話,我永遠不會忘記:“不要對任何人懷有惡意,要博愛世人……?!?/p>

I was born in the countryside near Kaohsiung and I came up to Taipei when I was still a lad of twelve.Seven years have elapsed since then, and just recently, I returned to my home town for the very first time since I had left it.Would you like to know just how I felt when I set eyes again on the place that I had always remembered as being a real Shangrila? The image that I had so carefully cherished was dashed to the winds.Instead, I was struck by the sharp realization that civilization and modern industry were destroying our world.The beautiful hills that were formerly covered with trees were now bald.All the trees must have been chopped down for lumber that went into the building of cheap apartment houses that were now ubiquitous all over the town.The crystal-clear river where I had enjoyed fishing and swimming when I was a lad was now a filthy ditch into which chemical factories were dumpling all their
I could go on describing the horrible changes that my hometown had undergone, but time is limited.So I wish to say in conclusion that the time has come for the introduction of strict measures to protect our environment.環境保護
我出生于高雄附近的鄉下,當我才十二歲時,就搬來臺北。七年過去了,就在最近,我回到睽違已久的家鄉。你想知道,當我看到這個我總記得是真正香格里拉的地方時,內心的感受嗎?我小心珍愛的形象都在風中破滅了。代之而起的是,我痛心地了解到文明和現代工業正在毀滅我們的世界。
原本覆蓋著樹木的美麗山丘現在已經禿了。所有的樹木一定被砍下作為木材,來建筑鎮上到處都是的便宜公寓。那條我少年時候喜歡釣魚和游泳、水晶般清澈的河流,現在變成化學工廠傾倒垃圾的臭水溝。
我可以繼續不斷地描述我故鄉遭受的可怕改變,但時間有限。所以最后我想說的就是,用嚴厲措施來保護環境的時候已經到了。

Small Kindness平凡的善行
Small kindnesses are those simple deeds of goodness that we perform in our daily life, not merely to our friends and kin, but also to complete strangers, not for the sake of receiving some remuneration in return, but sheerly out of a spirit of generosity and unselfish consideration for the welfare of others.When we read the daily newspapers, we are frequently apprised of the Big Kindnesses performed by well-to-do philanthropists who donate large sums of money for the establishment of schools, libraries, free hospitals for the poor, orphanages, and the like.These, of course, are laudable acts of charity that deserve wide public acclaim.But in my estimation, those many minor acts of kindness performed daily ion assorted situations by public-minded citizens who receive no recognition or plaudits from the mass media are equally commendable.I think that in the eyes of the Almighty, the good-hearted white-collar worker who gives up his seat on a crowded commuter train to someone frail, aged or crippled, even though he himself is extremely tried after his day’s work, is just as deserving of praise, or maybe even more so, than the billionaire philanthropist who has given away a million dollars for the establishment of a
new old people’s home.In the large cities of any country, where the general tendency of the people is “to look out only for one’s own interests”, the atmosphere is cold and miserable for those unable to keep up with the rapid pace of competition.Let us all try remedy the situation by launching a personal campaign to perform a small kindness each day, no matter how inconsequential it may seem, so that our society will be a much better place to live in.平凡的善行
平凡的善行就是一些我們在日常生活當中所做的、簡單的好事。不只對我們的親友,結全然陌生的人也一樣;不是為了報酬,完全是出自一種為他人福祉的慷慨、無私的精神。
我們每天看報,常得知富有的慈善家所作“偉大的善行”。他們捐很多的錢蓋學校、圖書館、免費為窮人看病的醫院、孤兒院等等。當然這 值得民眾贊美的慈善行為。但我認為,那些沒受到大眾傳播媒介褒獎或贊揚、具有服務大眾熱忱的市民所作較小的善行,一樣值得贊賞。我認為在上帝眼中,一個好心的白領階級,即使在工作一天后極度疲憊,在擠滿通勤者的火車上讓位給老弱或殘障者,也一樣值得贊美,甚至比那些捐一百萬元建造一座新的老人院的億萬慈善家更值得表揚。
在任何國家的大城市,居民的共同傾向就是“自掃門前雪”。對于那些無法趕上這種快速競爭步調的人,氣氛是冷默無情的。讓我們發起個人運動,試著來修正這促情形。無論事情多么微不足道,每天是行一善,那么我們的社會將會更適于居住。

第三篇:一分鐘英語演講TED
我知道你們在想什么,你們覺得我迷路了,馬上就會有人走上臺溫和地把我帶回我的座位上。(掌聲)。我在迪拜總會遇上這種事?!皝磉@里度假的嗎,親愛的?”(笑聲)“來探望孩子的嗎?這次要待多久呢?
恩,事實上,我希望能再待久一點。我在波斯灣這邊生活和教書已經超過30年了。(掌聲)這段時間里,我看到了很多變化?,F在這份數據是挺嚇人的,而我今天要和你們說的是有關語言的消失和英語的全球化。我想和你們談談我的朋友,她在阿布達比教成人英語。在一個晴朗的日子里,她決定帶她的學生到花園去教他們一些大自然的詞匯。但最后卻變成是她在學習所有當地植物在阿拉伯語中是怎么說的。還有這些植物是如何被用作藥材,化妝品,烹飪,香草。這些學生是怎么得到這些知識的呢?當然是從他們的祖父母,甚至曾祖父母那里得來的。不需要我來告訴你們能夠跨代溝通是多么重要。
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.但遺憾的是,今天很多語言正在以前所未有的速度消失。每14天就有一種語言消失,而與此同時,英語卻無庸置疑地成為全球性的語言。這其中有關聯嗎?我不知道。但我知道的是,我見證過許多改變。初次來到海灣地區時,我去了科威特。當時教英文仍然是個困難的工作。其實,沒有那么久啦,這有點太久以前了??傊?,我和其他25位老師一起被英國文化協會聘用。我們是第一批非穆斯林的老師,在科威特的國立學校任教。我們被派到那里教英語,是因為當地政府希望國家可以現代化并透過教育提升公民的水平。當然,英國也能得到些好處,產油國可是很有錢的。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.言歸正傳,我見過最大的改變,就是英語教學的蛻變如何從一個互惠互利的行為變成今天這種大規模的國際產業。英語不再是學校課程里的外語學科,也不再只是英國的專利。英語(教學)已經成為所有英語系國家追逐的潮流。何樂而不為呢?畢竟,最好的教育來自于最好的大學,而根據最新的世界大學排名,那些名列前茅的都是英國和美國的大學。所以自然每個人都想接受英語教育,但如果你不是以英文為母語,你就要通過考試。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.但僅憑語言能力就拒絕學生這樣對嗎?譬如如果你碰到一位天才計算機科學家,但他會需要有和律師一樣的語言能力嗎?我不這么認為。但身為英語老師的我們,卻總是拒絕他們。我們處處設限,將學生擋在路上,使他們無法再追求自己的夢想,直到他們通過考試。現在容我換一個方式說,如果我遇到了一位只會說荷蘭話的人,而這個人能治愈癌癥,我會阻止他進入我的英國大學嗎?我想不會。但事實上,我們的確在做這種事。我們這些英語老師就是把關的。你必須先讓我們滿意,使我們認定你的英文夠好。但這可能是危險的。把太多的權力交由這么小的一群人把持,也許會令這種障礙太過普及。
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 于是,我聽到你們問但是研究呢?研究報告都要用英文。”的確,研究論著和期刊都要用英文發表,但這只是一種理所當然的現象。有英語要求,自然就有英語供給,然后就這么循環下去。我倒想問問大家,為什么不用翻譯呢?想想伊斯蘭的黃金時代,當時翻譯盛行,人們把拉丁文和希臘文翻譯成阿拉伯文或波斯文,然后再由拉伯文或波斯文翻譯為歐洲的日耳曼語言以及羅曼語言。于是文明照亮了歐洲的黑暗時代。但不要誤會我的意思,我不是反對英語教學或是在座所有的英語老師。我很高興我們有一個全球性的語言,這在今日尤為重要。但我反對用英語設立障礙。難道我們真希望世界上只剩下600種語言,其中又以英文或中文為主流嗎?我們需要的不只如此。那么我們該如何拿捏呢?這個體制把智能和英語能力畫上等號這是相當武斷的。
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.我想要提醒你們,扶持當代知識分子的這些“巨人肩膀不必非得具有英文能力,他們不需要通過英語考試。愛因斯坦就是典型的例子。順便說一下,他在學校還曾被認為需要課外補習,因為他其實有閱讀障礙。但對整個世界來說,很幸運的當時他不需要通過英語考試,因為他們直到1964年才開始使用托?!,F在英語測驗太泛濫了,有太多太多的英語測驗,以及成千上萬的學生每年都在參加這些考試?,F在你會認為,你和我都這么想,這些費用不貴,價錢滿合理的。但是對數百萬的窮人來說,這些費用高不可攀。所以,當下我們又拒絕了他們。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.這使我想起最近看到的一個新聞標題:“教育:大鴻溝”現在我懂了。我了解為什么大家都重視英語,因為他們希望給孩子最好的人生機會。為了達成這目的,他們需要西方教育。畢竟,不可否認,最好的工作都留給那些西方大學畢業出來的人。就像我之前說的,這是一種循環。
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,我跟你們說一個關于兩位科學家的故事:有兩位英國科學家在做一項實驗,是關于遺傳學的,以及動物的前、后肢。但他們無法得到他們想要的結果。他們真的不知道該怎么辦,直到來了一位德國的科學家。他發現在英文里前肢和后肢是不同的二個字,但在遺傳學上沒有區別。在德語也是同一個字。所以,叮!問題解決了。如果你不能想到一個念頭,你會卡在那里。但如果另一個語言能想到那念頭,然后通過合作我們可以達成目的,也學到更多。
我的女兒從科威特來到英格蘭,她在阿拉伯的學校學習科學和數學。那是所阿拉伯中學。在學校里,她得把這些知識翻譯成英文,而她在班上卻能在這些學科上拿到最好的成績。這告訴我們,當外籍學生來找我們,我們可能無法針對他們所知道的給予贊賞,因為那是來自于他們母語的知識。當一個語言消失時,我們不知道還有什么也會一并失去。
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,篇二:楊瀾ted演講稿中英文 yang lan: the generation thats remaking china the night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final of chinas got talent show in shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.guess who was the performing guest?susan boyle.and i told her, im going to scotland the next day.she sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in chinese.[chinese]so its not like hello or thank you, that ordinary stuff.it means green onion for free.why did she say that? because it was a line from our chinese parallel susan boyle--a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in shanghai, who loves singing western opera, but she didnt understand any english or french or italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in chinese.(laughter)and the last sentence of nessun dorma that she was singing in the stadium was green onion for free.so [as] susan boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.that was hilarious.so i guess both susan boyle and this vegetable vendor in shanghai belonged to otherness.they were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.and a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.well, being different is not that difficult.we are all different from different perspectives.but i think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.you may have the chance to make a difference.my generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of china that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.i remember that in the year of 1990,when i was graduating from college, i was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in beijing, great wall sheraton--its still there.so after being interrogated by this japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, so, miss yang, do you have any questions to ask me?i summoned my courage and poise and said,yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell? i didnt have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel.my life, and i feel proud of that.but then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country.i was in beijings bidding for the olympic games.i was representing the shanghai expo.i saw china embracing the world and vice versa.but then sometimes im thinking, what are todays young generation up to? how are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of china, or at large, the world? so making a living is not that easy for young people.college graduates are not in short supply.in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.so what do they do? they have to share space--squeezed in very limited space to save money--and they call themselves tribe of ants.and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.that ratio in americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china its 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.so through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.for the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.and it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation.sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.so when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.so the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the internet.we heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.and guess what, we have faked beef.they have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.and then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.so all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the internet.and fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.while young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes theyre a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.china is soon to pass the u.s.as the number one market for luxury brands--thats not including the chinese expenditures in europe and elsewhere.but you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 u.s.dollars.theyre not rich at all.theyre taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.and this is a girl explicitly saying on a tv dating show that she would rather cry in a bmw than smile on a bicycle.but of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a bmw or [on] a bicycle.so happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, its about the environment.people are thinking about the following questions: are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher gdp? how are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? and also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?i guess these are the questions people are going to answer.and our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.thank you very much.楊瀾ted演講:重塑中國的一代 中文演講稿
在來愛爾蘭的前一晚,我應邀主持了中國達人秀在上海的體育場和八萬現場觀眾。猜猜誰是表演嘉賓?——蘇珊大媽。我告訴她,“我明天要去愛爾蘭了。” 她歌聲猶如天籟。而且她還可以說點中文。
“送你蔥?!?這不是“你好、謝謝”之類的日常用語。這組詞翻譯過來是免費給你青蔥,為什么她要說這個呢?因為這是我們中國版的蘇珊大媽很有名的一句歌詞。
這位五十幾歲的大媽在上海以販賣蔬菜為生。她喜歡西方的歌劇,但是她不懂任何外語,所以她就把中文蔬菜名填做歌詞。當她在體育場里 唱到今夜無人入眠的最后一句時,她唱的是“送你蔥”。蘇珊大媽和全場八萬觀眾一起唱“送你蔥”,多有意思的場面。
我想蘇珊大媽和這位在上海做蔬菜買賣的都屬于不同尋常的人。在業界所謂的娛樂圈,他們最不可能取得成功,但是他們的勇氣和才華讓他們成功了。一場秀,一個平臺給了他們實現夢想的舞臺。
與眾不同不難,從不同的角度看我們都是不一樣的。我認為與眾不同是好的,因為你有不同的看法,這給你機會去產生不同的影響。
我們這代人有幸見證和參與了過去二三十年中國的歷史性的轉型。
我記得在九十年代,剛從大學畢業的我申請了一份在北京五星級酒店銷售部的工作。在日本經理一個半小時的面試后,他最后說:“楊小姐,你有什么問題要問我嗎?”我鼓起勇氣,定定神然后問道:“您能告訴我銷售部到底銷售什么?”我對于五星級酒店的銷售部的職責一點都摸不著頭腦。那是我在五星級酒店的第一天。
同時,我和上千名大學女生參加了一場由中國中央電視臺舉辦的史無前例的公開選拔。制作人告訴我們他們想找一位可愛,天真,美麗的新面孔。當輪到我時,我站起來說道,“為什么女孩在電視上必須是漂亮,甜美,無邪的,像個花瓶?為什么她們不能有她們的想法,她們自己的聲音?” 我想我一定得罪了評委。但是事實上,我的發言給他們留下了深刻的印象。接下來我進入了第二輪的選拔,然后是第三輪,第四輪。在經過七輪的選拔后,我勝出了。成為了一個國家電視臺黃金時段節目的主持人。
不管你們相不相信,那是中國電視上第一個節目可以允許主持人自由發揮而不是去讀審查后的稿子。這個節目的觀眾人數高達兩到三千萬。
幾年后,我決定去美國哥倫比亞大學進修。之后我有了自己的傳媒公司,這是在我剛畢業的時候想都不敢想的。
我和我的團隊做了很多事情。在過去的這些年,我采訪了上千人。有時候有年輕人走過來對我說:“楊瀾,你改變了我的生活。”我也為此而自豪。
