第一篇：福克納演講全文(中英譯文)

演講全文：Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech / William Faulkner

I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work--a life's work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before.So this award is only mine in trust.It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin.But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnacle from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whom is already that one who will some day stand here where I am standing.Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it.There are no longer problems of the spirit.There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.He must learn them again.He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid;and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed--love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice.Until he does so, he labors under a curse.He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion.His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars.He writes not of the heart but of the glands.Until he relearns these things, he will write as though he stood among and watched the end of man.I decline to accept the end of man.It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking.I refuse to accept this.I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail.He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things.It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past.The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

第三篇：福克納獲諾貝爾演講

威廉·福克納（William Faulkner，1897-1962）美國作家，生于美國密西西比州新奧爾巴尼的一個莊園主家，南北戰(zhàn)爭后家道中落。第一次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，福克納在空軍服過役。戰(zhàn)后入大學，其后從事過各種職業(yè)并開始寫作。《士兵的報酬》（1926）發(fā)表后，福克納被列入“迷惘的一代”，但很快與他們分道揚鏢。《薩拉里斯》（1929）問世之后，福克納的創(chuàng)作進入高峰斯。他發(fā)現(xiàn)“家鄉(xiāng)那塊郵票般大小的地方倒也值得一寫，只怕一輩子也寫不完”。懷著這樣的信念，他把19篇長篇和70多篇短篇小說紡織在“約克納帕塌法世系”里，通過南方貴族世家的興衰，反映了美國獨立戰(zhàn)爭前夕到第二次世界大戰(zhàn)之間的社會現(xiàn)實，創(chuàng)傷了20世紀的“人間喜劇”。長篇小說《喧嘩與騷動》和《我彌留之際》（1930）、《圣殿》（1931）、《八月之光》（1932）、《押沙龍，押沙龍》（1936）等現(xiàn)代文學的經(jīng)典之作。福克納后期的主要作品有《村子》（1940）、《闖入者》（1948）、《寓言》（1954）、《小鎮(zhèn)》（1957）和《大宅》（1959）等。此外還有短篇小說、劇本和詩歌。福克納雖是南方重要作家，但他的作品當時并不受重視，直到1946年美國著名的文學批評家馬爾科姆·考萊編選了《袖珍本福克納文集》，又寫了一篇有名的序言之后，福克納才在文壇上引起重視。特別是薩特、馬爾洛等人的賞識，使福克納名聲大噪。在藝術(shù)上，福克納受弗洛伊德影響，大膽地大膽地進行實驗，采用意識流手法、對位結(jié)構(gòu)以及象征隱喻等手段表現(xiàn)暴力、兇殺、性變態(tài)心理等，他的作品風格千姿百態(tài)、撲朔迷離，讀者須下大功夫才能感受其特有的審美情趣。1949年，“因為他對當代美國小說作出了強有力的和藝術(shù)上無與倫比的貢獻”，福克納獲諾貝爾文學獎。

Nobel Acceptance Speech by William Faulkner I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work--life's work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before.So this award is only mine in trust.It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin.But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnacle from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whom is already that one who will some day stand where I am standing.Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it.There are no longer problems of the spirit.There is only the question: When will I be blown up?

我們今天的悲劇是人們普遍存在一種生理上的恐懼，這種恐懼存在已久，以致我們已經(jīng)習慣了。現(xiàn)在不存在精神上的問題，唯一的問題是：“我什么時候會被炸得粉身碎骨？”正因如此，今天從事寫作的男女青年已經(jīng)忘記了人類內(nèi)心的沖突。而這本身就能就好作品。因為這是唯一值得寫、值得嘔心瀝血地去寫的題材。

他一定要重新認識這些問題。他必須使自己明白世間最可鄙的事情莫過于恐懼。他必須使自己永遠忘卻恐懼，在他的工作室里除了心底古老的真理之外，任何東西都沒有容身之地。沒有這古老的普遍真理，任何小說都只能曇花一觀，不會成功；這些真理就是愛、榮譽、憐憫、自尊、同情與犧牲等感惰。若是他做不到這樣，他的氣力終歸白費。他不是寫愛情而是寫情欲，他寫的失敗是沒有人失去可貴的東西的失敗，他寫的勝利是沒有希望、更糟的是沒有憐憫或同情的勝利。他的悲傷不是為了世上生靈，所以留下不深刻的痕跡。他不是在寫心靈而是在寫器官。

在他重新懂得這些之前，他寫作時，就猶如站在處于世界末日的人類中去觀察末日的來臨。我不接受人類末日的說法，因人類能延續(xù)而說人是不朽的，這很容易。說即使最后一次鐘聲已經(jīng)消失，消失的再也沒有潮水沖刷的映在落日余暉里的海上最后一塊無用礁石之旁時，還會有一個聲音，人類微弱的、不斷的說話聲，這也很容易。但是我不能接受這種說法。我相信人類不僅能延續(xù)。而且能戰(zhàn)勝一切而永存。人類不朽不是因為在萬物中唯有他能永遠發(fā)言、而是因為他有靈魂，有同情心、有犧牲和忍耐精神。詩人和作家的責任就是把這些寫出來。詩人和作家的特權(quán)就是去鼓舞人的斗志、使人記住過去曾經(jīng)有過的光榮---人類曾有過的勇氣、榮譽、希望、自尊、同情、憐憫與犧牲精神--以達到永恒。詩人的聲音不應(yīng)只是人類的記錄，而應(yīng)是使人類永存并得到勝利的支柱和棟梁。

第四篇：TED演講中英文本

TED演講中英文本—《怎樣從錯誤中學習》

I have been teaching for a long time, andin doing so have acquired a body of knowledge about kids and learning that Ireally wish more people would understand aboutthe potential of students.In1931, my grandmother--bottom left for you guys over here--graduated fromthe eighth grade.She went to school to get the information because that'swhere the information lived.It was in the books, it was inside the teacher'shead, and she needed to go there to get the information, because that's how youlearned.Fast-forward a generation: this is theone room schoolhouse, Oak Grove, where my father went to a one roomschoolhouse.And he again had to travel to the school to get theinformation from the teacher, store it in the only portable memory he has,which is inside his own head, and take it with him, because that is howinformation was being transported from teacher to student and then used in theworld.When I was a kid, we had a set of encyclopedias at my house.It was purchased the year Iwas born, and it was extraordinary, because I did not have to wait to go to thelibrary to get to the information;the information was inside my house and itwas awesome.This was different than either generation had experienced before,and it changed the way I interacted with information even at just a smalllevel.But the information was closer to me.I could getaccess to it.我已從事教學很長一段時間，在這個過程中，獲得很多關(guān)于兒童和學習的知識，但我真的希望更多人能理解學生的潛能。1931年，我的奶奶，在相片的左下角，從八年級畢業(yè)。她從學校中獲得知識，因為學校是知識的殿堂。知識在書本中，在老師腦海中，她需要到學校獲得，因為這正是學習的方法。很快的前進了一代，這是Oak Grove的校舍，只有一間，我父親去只有一間校舍的學校上學。他依然得前往學校，從老師身上學習知識，存儲在他唯一的便攜式記憶中－他的大腦，并隨身攜帶，因為這就是知識傳播的方式。老師傳授給學生，然后在世界上運用。當我還是個孩子時，家中有一套百科全書，是在我出生那年購買的。當時看來很棒，因為我不需要等到去圖書館時才能獲得資料，這些資料就在我家。這很棒，跟上一代人經(jīng)歷過的相比之下與眾不同，它改變了我與知識的互動，即使只有一點點程度。但這些知識離我更近，隨手可得。（背景：當學習知識的途徑越來越多時，學校和教師已不再是人們獲取知識的唯一來源）

In the time thatpasses between when I was a kid in high school and when I started teaching, wereally see the advent of the internet.Right about the time the internet getsgoing as an educational tool, I take off from Wisconsin and move to Kansas,small town Kansas, where I had an opportunity to teach in a lovely, small townrural Kansas school district, where I was teaching my favorite subject,American government.My first year--super gung ho--going to teach American government, loved political system.Kids in the 12thgrade: not exactly all that enthusiastic about the American governmentsystem.Year two: learned a few things--had to change my tactic.And I put in front of them an authentic experience that allowedthem to learn for themselves.I didn't tell them what to do, or how to do it.Iposed a problem in front of them, which was to put on an election forumfor their own community.They producedfliers, they called offices, they checked schedules, they were meeting with secretaries, they produced an election forum booklet for the entire town tolearn more about their candidates.They invited everyone into the schoolfor an evening of conversation about government and politics and whether or notthe streets were done well, and really had this robust experiential learning.The older teachers--more experienced--looked at me and went, “Oh,there she is.That's so cute.She's trying to get that done.”(Laughter)“She doesn't know what she's in for.” But I knew that the kids wouldshow up.And I believed it.And I told them every week what I expected out ofthem.And that night, all 90 kids--dressed appropriately, doing their job,owning it.I had to just sit and watch.It was theirs.It wasexperiential.It was authentic.It meant something to them.And they will stepup.在我還是個高中生到我開始教書那段時間當中，我們目睹因特網(wǎng)的出現(xiàn)。大約在因特網(wǎng)成為一種教育工具的時候，我離開威斯康辛，搬到堪薩斯，堪薩斯的一個小鎮(zhèn)。在那里一個可愛的小鎮(zhèn)中，即堪薩斯州鄉(xiāng)村學區(qū)，我得到教書的機會。在那里，我教授我最喜歡的科目－美國政府。第一年我滿懷熱情，賣力教授美國政府這門我所喜愛的政治體制，12年級的孩子們并不完全熱衷于美國政府體制。第二年我學到了一些東西，我得改變策略。我將一個真實的體驗呈現(xiàn)在他們面前，讓他們能為自己學習。我沒有告訴他們該做什么、該怎么做，我把一個問題擺在他們眼前，就是為他們小區(qū)建立一個選舉論壇。

他們制作傳單，號召辦事處；他們確認行程，與秘書會談；制作一本選舉論壇小冊，讓整個小鎮(zhèn)對候選人有更充分了解。他們邀請大家到學校進行夜間會談，關(guān)于政府與政治的議題，以及街道是否都已建設(shè)完善？并真正擁有這個強大的學習體驗。較具經(jīng)驗的年長的老師看著我并走過來說，“哦，就是她，多天真！她真以為自己辦得到！”（笑聲）“她根本不知道自己會遭遇什么狀況。”但我知道這些孩子會出席，我相信這一點。我每星期都告訴他們我對他們的期許。那天晚上，全部90個孩子穿著適當，做本分的工作，并擁有這個體驗，我只需坐著旁觀。這是屬于他們的，這是一個體驗，這是真實的，這對他們深有意義，他們會進步。（事例1：體驗式學習讓學生獲益匪淺）

From Kansas, Imoved on to lovely Arizona, where I taught in Flagstaff for a number of years,this time with middle school students.Luckily I didn't have to teach themAmerican government.Could teach them the more exciting topic of geography.Again, thrilled to learn.But what was interesting about this position I foundmyself in in Arizona, was I had this really extraordinarily eclectic groupof kids to work with in a truly public school.And we got to have these momentswhere we would get these opportunities.And one opportunity was we got to goand meet Paul Rusesabagina, which is the gentleman that the movie “HotelRwanda” is based after.And he was going to speak at the high school nextdoor to us.We could walk there;we didn't even have to pay for the buses.There was no expense cost.Perfect field trip.The problem thenbecomes how do you take seventh-and eighth-graders to a talk about genocideand deal with the subject in a way that is responsible and respectful, andthey know what to do with it.And so we chose to look at Paul Rusesabagina asan example of a gentleman who singularly used his life to do somethingpositive.I then challenged the kids to identify someone in their own life, orin their own story, or in their own world, that they could identify that haddone a similar thing.I asked them to produce a little movie about it.It's thefirst time we'd done this.Nobody really knew how to make these little movieson the computer.But they were into it.And I asked them to put their own voiceover it.It was the most awesome moment of revelation that when you askkids to use their own voice and ask them to speak for themselves, what they'rewilling to share.The last question of the assignment is: how do you plan touse your life to positively impact other people? The things that kids will saywhen you ask them and take the time to listen is extraordinary.我從堪薩斯搬到可愛的亞利桑那，我在Flagstaff教了好幾年，這次是教中學生。幸運的是，我不用教他們美國政府，可以教他們更令人興奮的地理學。再次的，因?qū)W習而振奮。但我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在亞利桑那州這份工作有趣的部分是，我確實能和這一群杰出的中學生一起合作，在一所真正的公立學校中。我們必須把握擁有這個機會的時刻，這個機會是，我們要去與Paul Rusesabagina見面。這位紳士，電影《盧安達飯店》以他為背景，他將來到我們隔壁的高中演講。我們可以走到那里，甚至不需付公交費用。沒有任何費用成本，完美的實地考察。

問題來了。如何將七、八年級的學生帶到談?wù)摲N族屠殺的演講中，并以負責和尊重的方式處理這個問題？他們知道該怎么做。所以我們選擇將Paul Rusesabagina視為一位紳士的典范，他令人罕見的用自己生命做一些正面的事，然后我給了學生一個挑戰(zhàn)，要他們在自己的生活、故事或世界中，定義一個他們認為做了類似事情的人。我要求他們制作一部與這有關(guān)的短片，這是我們第一次這么做。沒有人真正知道如何在計算機上制作這個短片，但他們參與了。我要求他們用自己的聲音配旁白，這是一個最棒的啟示時刻。當你要孩子們用他們自己的聲音，要他們?yōu)樽约喊l(fā)聲，說出他們愿意分享的東西。這個作業(yè)最后一個問題是，你打算如何用你的生命帶給其它人正面影響？當你問他們，并花時間傾聽時，孩子們所說的是非同尋常的。（事例2：自主式學習讓學生獲益匪淺）

Fast-forward to Pennsylvania, where I find myself today.I teach at the Science LeadershipAcademy, which is a partnership school between the Franklin Institute and theschool district of Philadelphia.We are a nine through 12 public school,but we do school quite differently.I moved there primarily to be part of alearning environment that validated the way that I knew that kids learned, andthat really wanted to investigate what was possible when you are willing to letgo of some of the paradigms of the past, of information scarcity when mygrandmother was in school and when my father was in school and even when I wasin school, and to a moment when we have information surplus.So what do you do when the information is all around you? Whydo you have kids come to school if they no longer have to come there toget the information? In Philadelphia wehave a one-to-one laptop program, so the kids are bringing laptops with themeveryday, taking them home, getting access to information.And here's the thingthat you need to get comfortable with when you've given the tool to acquireinformation to students, is that you have to be comfortable with this idea ofallowing kids to fail as part of the learning process.We deal right now in the educational landscape with an infatuation with theculture of one right them to always have the right answer doesn't allow themto learn.So we did this project, and this is one of the artifacts ofthe project.I almost never show them off because of the issue of the idea offailure.My studentsproduced these info-graphics as a result of a unit that we decided to do at theend of the year responding to the oil spill.I asked them to take the examplesthat we were seeing of the info-graphics that existed in a lot of mass media,and take a look at what were the interesting components of it, and produce onefor themselves from a different man-made disaster from American history.Andthey had certain criteria to do it.They were a little uncomfortable with it,because we'd never done this before, and they didn't know exactly how to do it.They can talk--they're very smooth, and they can write very, very well, butasking them to communicate ideas in a different way was a little uncomfortablefor them.But I gave them the room to just do the thing.Go create.Go figureit out.Let's see what we can do.And the student that persistently turns outthe best visual product did not disappoint.This was done in like twoor three days.And this is the work of the student that consistently didit.And when I sat thestudents down, I said, “Who's got the best one?” And they immediatelywent, “There it is.” Didn't read anything.“There it is.”And I said, “Well what makes it great?” And they're like, “Oh,the design's good, and he's using good color.And there's some...” Andthey went through all that we processed out loud.And I said, “Go readit.” And they're like, “Oh, that one wasn't so awesome.” Andthen we went to another one--it didn't have great visuals, but it had greatinformation--and spent an hour talking about the learning process, because it wasn't about whether or not it was perfect,or whether or not it was what I could create;it asked them to create forthemselves.And it allowed them to fail, process, learn from.And when we doanother round of this in my class this year, they will do better this time.Because learning has to include an amount of failure,because failure is instructional in the process.很快的來看賓夕法尼亞，我在那里找到現(xiàn)在的自我。我在領(lǐng)導科學研究院教書，這是Franklin研究所和費城學區(qū)間的聯(lián)合建教學校。這是一所9到12年級的公立學校，但我們用十分不同的方法教學。我搬到那里主要是想成為學習環(huán)境的一部分，并證實我對孩子們學習方式所知，而且確實想調(diào)查，當你愿意對一些過去的陳規(guī)放手，什么是可能的。信息匱乏的時代，從我奶奶上學時，到我父親、甚至我上學時，一直到信息爆炸的時代。所以當信息隨手可得時，你會怎么做？為什么你要孩子去學校？如果他們不再需要到校就能獲得知識？

在費城，我們有一人一臺電腦課程，所以孩子每天帶著他們的電腦，帶電腦回家以獲得知識。你必須適應(yīng)的是，當你提供工具讓學生獲得知識，你必須適應(yīng)這個想法，允許孩子失敗，作為學習過程的一部分。我們目前面對的教育現(xiàn)況是，迷戀于一個正確答案的文化，這可能出現(xiàn)在一般選擇題測驗中。我在這里與大家分享，這不是學習，這是大錯特錯的要求，告訴孩子永遠不能出錯，要求他們永遠要有正確的答案，不允許他們學習。所以我們做這個專題，這是其中一個專題的作品，我很少展示這個，因為這個專題的結(jié)果失敗了。我的學生們制作這些資料圖，作為一個小組的成品，我們決定在年末來做，作為對漏油問題的回應(yīng)。我要他們以看到的資料圖為例，那是許多傳媒中都有的資料，看一看其中有趣的部分是什么，為自己也制作一個，以美國歷史中不同的人為災(zāi)難為題。他們要以一定的標準去做，他們對這個有點不適應(yīng)，因為我們從來沒有做過這個，他們不知道究竟該怎么做。他們可以討論，進行的非常順利，他們可以寫得非常非常好。但要求他們以不同的方式做想法交流，讓他們有點不自在。但我給他們空間，就只是做這件事，去創(chuàng)造、去弄明白，看看我們能做些什么。學生努力不懈，制作出最佳的視覺作品，沒有讓人失望。這是在大約兩、三天之內(nèi)完成的，這是學生一致推崇的作品。

我要學生坐下來，問：“誰的作品最好？”他們立刻開口，“那個”，上面沒有可讀的數(shù)據(jù)，“就是那個”。我說，“好在哪里？”他們這么說，“哦，設(shè)計的很好，色彩用的很好，還有什么什么…”他們在整個過程中大聲討論。我說，“念出來”。他們說，“喔，那個也不是那么棒”。然后我們看另一個。沒有很好的視覺效果，但有很多的數(shù)據(jù)，并花了一個小時討論學習過程。因為這跟它是否完美，或它是否是我可以創(chuàng)造出來的無關(guān)，要求是要他們?yōu)樽约簞?chuàng)造。這個專題允許他們失敗，經(jīng)歷過程、從中學習。我的班級今年會再做一次這個專題，這次他們將做得更好，因為學習必須包括一些失敗，因為失敗是教學的一部份。（事例3：學會接受體驗式學習的過程中必然包括失敗，并且還是學習中至關(guān)重要的一部分）

There are amillion pictures that I could click through here, and had to choose carefully--this is one of my favorites--of students learning, of what learning canlook like in a landscape where we let go of the idea that kids have tocome to school to get the information, but instead, ask them what they can dowith it.Ask them really interesting questions.Theywill not disappoint.Ask them to go to places, to see things for themselves, toactually experience the learning, to play, to inquire.This is one of myfavorite photos, because this was taken on Tuesday, when I asked the studentsto go to the polls.This is Robbie, and this was his first day of voting, andhe wanted to share that with everybody and do that.But this is learning too,because we asked them to go out into real spaces.The main point isthat, if we continue to look at education as if it'sabout coming to school to get the information and not about experientiallearning, empowering student voice and embracing failure, we're missingthe mark.And everything that everybody is talking about today isn't possibleif we keep having an educational system that does not value these qualities, because we won't get there with a standardized test, and wewon't get there with a culture of one right answer.We know how to do thisbetter, and it's time to do better.在這個過程中有很多照片，我可以從這里點擊出來，但得謹慎選擇，這是我最喜歡的一張，學生的學習。學習可以是什么光景？在一個景象中，我們放開孩子們必須到學校以獲取知識這個觀念，相對地，問他們可以如何運用，問他們真正感興趣的問題，他們不會失望。要他們到四處去為自己觀察東西，實際體驗學習、玩耍、探究。這是我最喜歡的照片之一，因為這是周二照的。我要學生去投票，這是羅比，這是他第一次投票，他想與大家共享，并做這件事，但這也是學習。因為我們要他們踏出去，到真實世界中。重點是，如果我們繼續(xù)把教育當做到學校去獲得知識，而非經(jīng)驗的學習，賦予學生發(fā)聲的權(quán)益并擁抱失敗，我們會迷失。如果我們繼續(xù)擁有一個不重視這些特質(zhì)的教育系統(tǒng)，今日每人所談?wù)摰囊磺卸紝⑹遣豢赡艿摹Ｒ驗槲覀儫o法以一個標準化測驗達成，無法以單一正確答案的文化達成目標。我們知道如何做得更好，現(xiàn)在正是將它做得更好的時候！（結(jié)尾：在學校和教育不再是獲取知識的唯一途徑時，其職責應(yīng)是引導學生進行經(jīng)驗式學習，賦予學生發(fā)聲的權(quán)利并擁抱失敗）

There are a lot ofways the people around us can help improve our lives.We don't bump into everyneighbor, so a lot of wisdom never gets passed on, though we do share the samepublic spaces.So over the pastfew years, I've tried ways to share more with my neighbors in public space,using simple tools like stickers, stencils and chalk.And these projects camefrom questions I had, like, how much are my neighbors paying for theirapartments?(Laughter)How can we lend and borrow more things without knockingon each other's doors at a bad time? How can we share more of our memories ofour abandoned buildings, and gain a better understanding of our landscape? Andhow can we share more of our hopes for our vacant storefronts, so ourcommunities can reflect our needs and dreams today? Now, I live in NewOrleans, and I am in love with New Orleans.My soul is always soothed by thegiant live oak trees, shading lovers, drunks and dreamers for hundreds ofyears, and I trust a city that always makes way for music.(Laughter)I feellike every time someone sneezes, New Orleans has a parade.(Laughter)The cityhas some of the most beautiful TED演講中英文本——《在死之前，我想...》 architecture in the world, but it also has oneof the highest amounts of abandoned properties in America.I live near thishouse, and I thought about how I could make it a nicer space for myneighborhood, and I also thought about something that changed my life forever.我們周圍的人能以很多種方式 來幫我們把生活變得更美好 我們不一定能常常碰到我們的鄰居 所以即使我們生活在同一片公共空間里 鄰居的智慧也難以被傳遞開來

所以在過去的幾年里，我嘗試著以不同的方式 如用貼紙、展板和粉筆這些簡單工具 來在公共空間里與鄰居分享更多的東西 這些項目都源自于我自己的一些疑問，如 我的鄰居得付多少房租？（笑聲）我們怎么樣能夠從鄰里間互借到更多的東西 同時避免在不合時宜的時候敲開對方的門？ 我們怎樣能夠更好地分享各自的 關(guān)于被毀棄的建筑的回憶 并更好地理解我們居住的這片土地？ 怎樣更能表達我們對空置的店面的期待 使我們的社區(qū)能反映出我們現(xiàn)在的需求和夢想？

我現(xiàn)時住在新奧爾良 并深深地愛上了這座城市 那些生生不息的巨型橡樹總是可以撫慰我的靈魂 幾百年來，情侶、醉漢和追夢人們 總會稍息在樹影下 我深信這一座充滿著音樂律動的城市 每當有人打噴嚏時，我都感覺新奧爾良來了一只游行隊伍（笑聲）新奧爾良擁有世界上很多最漂亮的建筑 但同時，她也是全美擁有最多 廢棄建筑的城市

我住在這棟房子附近，我就想如何讓它 在這片社區(qū)里成為一個更好的地方 也思考了另一件事 這件事徹底改變了我的人生

In 2009, I lostsomeone I loved very much.Her name was Joan, and she was a mother to me, andher death was sudden and unexpected.And I thoughtabout death a lot, and this made me feel deep gratitude for the time I've had,and brought clarity to the things that are meaningful to my life now.But Istruggle to maintain this perspective in my daily life.I feel like it's easyto get caught up in the day-to-day, and forget what really matters to you.So with help fromold and new friends, I turned the side of this abandoned house into a giantchalkboard and stenciled it with a fill-in-the-blank sentence: “Before Idie, I want to...” So anyone walking by can pick up a piece of chalk,reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in public space.I didn't know whatto expect from this experiment, but by the next day, the wall was entirelyfilled out, and it kept growing.And I'd like to share a few things that peoplewrote on this wall.“Before Idie, I want to be tried for piracy.”(Laughter)“Before I die, I wantto straddle the International Date Line.” “Before I die, I want tosing for millions.” “Before I die, I want to plant a tree.”“Before I die, I want to live off the grid.” “Before I die, Iwant to hold her one more time.” “Before I die, I want to besomeone's cavalry.” “Before I die, I want to be completelymyself.” So this neglectedspace became a constructive one, and people's hopes and dreams made me laughout loud, tear up, and they consoled me during my own tough times.It's aboutknowing you're not alone.It's about understanding our neighbors in new andenlightening ways.It's about making space for reflection and contemplation,and remembering what really matters most to us as we grow and change.I made this lastyear, and started receiving hundreds of messages from passionate people whowanted to make a wall with their community, so my civic center colleagues and Imade a tool kit, and now walls have been made in countries around the world,including Kazakhstan, South Africa, Australia, Argentina and beyond.Together,we've shown how powerful our public spaces can be if we're given theopportunity to have a voice and share more with one another.2009年，我失去了一個我摯愛的人 她的名字叫瓊，對我來講，她就像我的母親一樣 她死得很突然，沒有人預(yù)料到 然后我思考了很多關(guān)于死亡的事 然后..這件事讓我對我擁有的時光懷著深切致意 并且 顯現(xiàn)出了那些 對我的生命有真正意義的東西 但我卻很難在日常生活中保持這種心態(tài) 我覺得人們太容易被日復一日的瑣碎困住 而忘記什么才是真正重要的事

我于是在一些新老朋友的幫助下 把這棟廢棄的房子的一面墻 做成了一個巨型黑板 我在上面寫滿了同一道填空題 “在死之前，我想..” 所以每一個路過的人都可以撿起一根粉筆 在公共場合里留下一些他們?nèi)松暮圹E 且來分享他們內(nèi)心深處的愿望

我并不知道該從這個實驗里期待些什么 但是第二天，整個墻壁都被填滿了 而且不斷有人添加新的答案 我想跟大家分享一些人們在那面墻上 寫的東西

“在死之前，我想為我的海盜行為接受審判”（笑聲）“在死之前，我想跨過國際日期變更線” “在死之前，我想在上百萬的觀眾面前唱歌” “在死之前，我想種一棵樹” “在死之前，我想過隱居的生活” “在死之前，我想再抱她一次” “在死之前，我想成為某個人的騎士” “在死之前，我想要做完全真實的自己”

這個本來被遺忘的建筑變成了一個極具建設(shè)性的地方 這些人的希望和夢想讓我放聲大笑，也黯然落淚 也曾在我經(jīng)歷困境的時候給我安慰 這讓我們相信自己并不孤單 讓我們對鄰居有了全新的 啟發(fā)心智的了解 這為我們營造了一個反省和思考的空間 也提醒我們在不斷成長改變的過程中 什么才是最為重要的 這個黑板是我去年做的，然后我就不斷收到 一些熱情的人們給我發(fā)的信息 說想在他們的社區(qū)里也設(shè)立一面這樣的墻壁 所以我和我的同事們就做了一個小型工具箱 現(xiàn)在，這面墻壁已經(jīng)遍布全球 包括哈薩克斯坦，南非 澳大利亞 阿根廷等地 這些跡象表明，如果我們能有一個 表達自己的意愿并與他人分享的機會 那么公共空間將發(fā)揮巨大的作用

Two of the mostvaluable things we have are time and our relationships with other people.Inour age of increasing distractions, it's more important than ever to find waysto maintain perspective and remember that life is brief and tender.Death issomething that we're often discouraged to talk about or even think about, butI've realized that preparing for death is one of the most empowering things youcan do.Thinking about death clarifies your life.Our shared spacescan better reflect what matters to us as individuals and as a community, andwith more ways to share our hopes, fears and stories, the people around us cannot only help us make better places, they can help us lead better lives.Thankyou.(Applause)

我們所擁有的最珍貴的兩樣東西，一個是時間 還有一個，是與他人的聯(lián)系 在這個物欲橫流的時代里 努力堅持自我，銘記人生的短暫與生命的脆弱 變得比以往任何時代都更重要 我們總是沒有勇氣談?wù)撍劳?甚至沒有勇氣去想著死亡 但是我意識到，為死亡做心理準備 是我們能夠做到的最有力的事情之一 思考死亡能夠讓你對自己的人生有更清醒的認識

公共空間可以更好的體現(xiàn)到底什么對我們是真正重要的 無論是對個人來說或者對于整個社區(qū)來說 有了更多的方式來分享我們的希望，恐懼和經(jīng)歷 我們身邊的人不僅能夠幫助我們創(chuàng)造更美好的地方 更幫助我們過上更美好的生活 謝謝（掌聲）

第五篇：姚明退役演講(中英)

姚明在宣布退役的新聞發(fā)布會上的講話

Hello everyone, leaders, guests, and friends from news media, good afternoon, and thanks for coming.大家好，各位領(lǐng)導，各位來賓，各位好，謝謝大家今天的光臨。

Today is an important day for me.For myself, my basketball career and the personal growth in the future, it has a particular meaning.今天對我來說是重要的日子，無論對我以及以往的籃球職業(yè)生涯，還是未來個人發(fā)展，都具有特殊的意義。

At the end of last year I broke my left foot for a third time.I had to leave the basketball court, and spent the last half of the year waiting, just as many of those who care about me.During that period, I struggled a lot in my heart and thought a lot.Now I am going to announce a personal decision: I am going to end my career as a basketball player and officially retire.去年年底，我的左腳第三次應(yīng)及性骨折，我不得不離開賽場，半年多以來和很多關(guān)心的朋友一樣，我也是在漫長的期待中渡 過，在那段時間內(nèi)心十分糾結(jié)，反復思考，為此今天宣布一個個人的決定，作為籃球運動員，我將結(jié)束自己的運動生涯，正式退役。

Looking back on the past and right into the future, I am deeply grateful.此時此刻，回顧過去，展望未來，我的內(nèi)心充滿感激。

First I'd like to thank basketball.This great sport has brought joys to so many people, including me.I had my first basketball when I was four.I entered the Sports School of Xuhui District of Shanghai when I was nine and entered the Shanghai Basketball Youth Team at 14.At 16, I began playing for Shanghai Basketball Team, wearing my father's number.I inherited my family's tradition by playing basketball.I feel so proud every time I look into the eyes of my parents, who are proud of me.I feel very honored to have the opportunity to win the CBA title in 2002 with Shanghai Shark teammates, which has linked us all to this city behind.Basketball also led me on a greater stage when I entered NBA that year.I could play with all I had.What's more, I feel thankful that I had the opportunity to fight together with the national team for 10 years, which is many young players' dream, and through which I got to know and married my beloved woman, and made a happy family and obtained the happiness of my life.All of these are brought by my love, basketball.I want to thank basketball.此時此刻，回顧過去，展望未來，我的內(nèi)心充滿感激，我首先要感謝的是籃球這項偉大的運動，為無數(shù)人帶來了快 樂，包括我自己。我4歲的時候有了第一個籃球，9歲就入上海市體校，14歲進入上海訓練隊，16歲背上我父親當年的號碼，代表上海隊比賽，籃球是我延續(xù)家 庭的傳承，每當看到父母欣慰的眼神，都感到無比自豪，也非常榮幸有幸能夠和上海大鯊魚的隊友為上海贏得2002年CBA冠軍，和我們身后這座城市聯(lián)系在一 起。同一年在進入NBA之后，籃

球引領(lǐng)我進入更寬廣的舞臺，使我盡情展現(xiàn)自己。更要感謝能有機會為中國國家隊可以奮戰(zhàn)十年，那是無數(shù)青年人的夢想，同時因 為籃球，與心愛人的結(jié)緣，建立美滿的家庭，獲得一生的幸福。所有這些都是無比熱愛的籃球帶給我的，我要感謝籃球。

I would also like to thank life.No matter my favorite basketball or something else, they are all parts of the life.Life is like a guide.When you sincerely follow it, it will open one and another door for you and the world outside of them is so different and exciting.Today, I retired.The door of basketball is closed, but another door has just opened which will lead me to a new life waiting for me to experience.I will continue to participate in social welfare in the future.Yao Fund is my personal fund, which has been established for three years.And in the coming future, I will take this as the basis and call on more people to get involved in charity and help more people.And at the same time, I wish to know more friends here and to do some things together with you.I believe the exchanges with all of you will teach me more things that will also enrich my life and help me to start from Shanghai to the whole country, from China to the whole world, so I’ll thank life.And in the coming future, to take it seriously will be the best reward to life.我還要感謝生活，無論我所熱愛籃球還是別的東西，都是生活的一部分，我覺得生活就像一個向?qū)В闱俺套吩V他，會打開一閃 一的門，今天退役了，一扇門關(guān)上，另外一扇門打開，門外有嶄新的生活等著我認真品位。我雖然離開賽場，但是不會離開籃球，上海東方大廈籃球隊是我籃球的延 續(xù)，我正在用心的方式管理俱樂部，用這種方式為家鄉(xiāng)帶來快樂。我將繼續(xù)投身社會公益事業(yè)，姚基金是我個人的基金會，已經(jīng)成立三年，接下來會以此為依托，影 響更多的人參與慈善事業(yè)，幫助更多的人。同時我希望結(jié)識更多的朋友，一起做喜歡的事情，相信在各行各業(yè)，有識之士的交往中，會學到更多的東西，豐富精彩生 活，引領(lǐng)著我從上海走向全國，從中國走向世界。所以我要感謝生活，今后我要認真對待它，才是對生活最好的回報。

At last, I want to thank my family and all my friends.I have a very long name list here, but for time limit, I can only mention some of you, please forgive me.Firstly I want to thank my family member, parents, who are the enlightenment to me, Ye Li is also the best listener.I also want to thank my coaches, who have witnessed every step of my growth, including my mentor, all coaches in Shanghai Sharks, and the coaches in national team, in Rockets, and former manager.I also want to thank all leaders, especially State General Administration of Sports, especially State General Administration of Sports, Shanghai Basketball Association, Shanghai Sports Bureau, Shanghai Wenguang Group and leaders from Shanghai Sharks.Their care, encouragement always drives me to progress and to get today’s achievement.最后感謝我的親人和我所有的朋友，這里有一份很長的名單，由于時間的原因不能一一提及，只能選讀其中的代 表，希望朋友多多盡量。首先感謝是我的家人，父母，是我人生的啟蒙者，葉莉是我最好的傾聽者，可愛的姚沁蕾是我的

I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to friends from the media, to mysponsors and partners, from whom I have learned a lot, and to my dear fans, whether you like me or not, whether you are Chinese or foreigners.The care from all of you gives me enough confidence and your criticism helps me improve myself.我還感謝常年關(guān)注我的新聞界的朋友們，感謝贊助商和合作伙伴，和你們交往使我受益匪淺，還有各類的球迷朋友們，不管 是黑還是綠，不管是國內(nèi)的還是國外的，感謝所有關(guān)注我的朋友，大家的關(guān)心使我獲得足夠的信心和勇氣，大家的批評使我修正了缺點了不足。

All of you, whether I have mentioned above or not, will be in my heart.In a word, I want to say thank you to my family and friends for your company all these years.I will continue to be the best I can be and continue to be with you all.今天提到的和沒提到的，你們每個人都在我心里，總而言之，我感謝所有的親人和朋友多年來的陪伴，我會繼續(xù)做好我自己，不會 離開大家！

(接下來的幾分鐘，我要感謝海外的朋友們，尤其是休斯頓的球迷們。我想要感謝你們在我9年職業(yè)生涯中對我的支持。9年前，當我來到休斯頓的時候，我只是個瘦瘦的大個子，這座城市、火箭全隊幫助我成為一個成熟的男人，不僅是作為一個籃球運動員在成長，我也成為了一個父親，我的第一個女兒就在這里出生。我覺得我就是休斯頓人，我會永遠與你們在一起，謝謝！)Finally, I will express my gratitude to the great and progressive era, in which I have a chance to make my dream come true and show my value.Once I said when my basketball career ended, it was just a comma rather than a full stop.Now the day comes, but I don’t leave basketball, my life is still continuing.I am still myself, Yao Ming.There are a lot of things for me to do and it is far too early to say goodbye.I wish you all a healthy and happy life.I wish my hometown Shanghai, second hometown Houston, my great motherland and I wish basketball a bright future.Thank you very much!

最后要感謝這個偉大進步的時代，使我有機會去實現(xiàn)自己的夢想和價值，我曾經(jīng)說過有一天我的職業(yè)籃球生涯結(jié)束了，我希望它 只是逗號，不是句號，今天這一天終于到來了，但是我沒有離開心愛的籃球，我的生活還再繼續(xù)，我還是姚明。我還有很多事情可以做，遠遠沒有達到劃上句號的那 一天，祝朋友們健康快樂，祝福我的家鄉(xiāng)上海，第二故鄉(xiāng)休斯敦，我們偉大的祖國，讓我們熱愛的籃球運動擁有更加美好的明天。謝謝大家！
