中国梦演讲稿英文版(中英对照)

Our new president Xi Jinping came up with the dream of the Chinese nation's rejuvenation on December 29, 2012. He said: the Chinese dream is a dream of national strength prosperity and people's happiness. Our people have an ardent love for life. They wish to have better education, more stable jobs, more income, greater social security , better medical and health care, improved housing conditions and better environment,They want their children to grow well, have ideal jobs and lead a more enjoyable life. To meet their desire for a happy life is our mission."

本段译文：2012年12月29日，习近平主席提出中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦。他说：中国梦就是实现国家繁荣富强和人民幸福安康。我们的人民热爱生活，期盼有更好的教育、更稳定的工作、更满意的收入、更可靠的社会保障、更高水平的医疗卫生服务、更舒适的居住条件、更优美的环境，期盼孩子们能成长得更好、工作得更好、生活得更好。人民对美好生活的向往，就是我们的奋斗目标。

He also expounded his views of realizing our great dream. He said : To realize the dream, China must take the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The country

must also foster the Chinese spirit,in which patriotism and the spirit of reform and innovation play a core role, and unite 1.3 billion people of all ethnicities into a great source of strength.

本段译文：他也表达了关于实现我们伟大的中国梦一些想法。他说：“实现中国梦，我们必须结合国情坚持走社会主义道路，国家也要培养在爱国主义和改革开放的精神中起到重要作用的中国精神，并团结13亿各族人民为力量的源泉”。

I always ask myself what can I do for our great Chinese dream ? As we all know that the wiser the youths are ,the wiser the nation will be；the wealthier the youths are ,the wealthier the nation will be；the stronger the youths are ,the stronger the nation will be. Here the word wealthy means: enriching our knowledge reserve. As a new generation of science, every one here shouldering the great historical mission of making china powerful and strong. You may say that this may exaggerate our role, but I want to say you are wrong. If I am a little screw our great dream may be a multifunction and complex machine. Through this example I just want to say I am very tiny but I am indispensable .

本段译文：我时常问我自己，我可以为我们伟大的中国梦做些什么？众所周知：少年智则国智，少年富则国富，少年强则国强！在这里“富裕”一词应理解为：丰富我们的知识储备。作为新一代的理科生，在座的每位同学都肩负着实现中国繁荣富强的使命。你可能会说这也许夸大了我们的作用，但是我想三说，你错了。如果我是一颗小小的螺丝钉，那我们的中国梦就是一个复杂而又多功能的机器。通过这个例子我想说：我个人虽然渺小，但是我也是必不可少的。

President Xi also said: We must make persistent efforts, press ahead with indomitable will, continue to push forward the great cause of socialism with Chinese

characteristics, and strive to achieve the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.We are closer than in any other time of history to the goal of

rejuvenating the Chinese nation. We are more confident and capable of achieving this goal than in any other period of history," “.””

本段译文：习主席还说，“我们必须再接再厉、一往无前，继续把中国特色社会主义事业推向前进，继续为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦而努力奋斗。我们比历史上任何时期都更接近

中华民族伟大复兴的目标，比历史上任何时期都更有信心、有能力实现这个目标。”

I believe that as long as all of our university students unite together and perform our own functions that study hard in school and work hard after we graduating from university . we must be able to achieve our great dream meanwhile enrich ourselves unwittingly! lets us unite together to realize Chinese nation's great rejuvenation to struggle!

本段译文：我相信只要我们每个大学生团结起来并且做好我们的本职工作，在学校好好学习知识，毕业后步入社会后努力工作。我们一定能够实现我们的中国梦，在此期间我们也会不知不觉地丰富了我们自己。让我们携起手团结一致共同为实现中华民族的伟大复兴而奋斗！

马云纽约演讲全文中英对照版：

非常荣幸，从来没想到会有这多人来听我的演讲。

I’m so honored. I never expect there are so many people coming here to listen to my talk.

我站在这里的时候，感觉自己如此重要，如此责任重大。谢谢你们！ And when I sitting there I feel so important. Thank you, thank you very much.

正式开始演讲之前，我想请问一下在座有多少人在使用阿里巴巴的服务？好的，不是非常多。那么，你们当中有多少人从来没有去过中国？好的。

Before my talk I would like to ask how many people here have used Alibaba services. Good, not many. [Laughs]. And how many of you here have never been to China? Never been, never been to China. Good, thank you very much.

20年前，我第一次踏上美国，美国之旅的第一站是西雅图。来到美国之前，我从课本、老师、学校和父母那里了解美国，我以为自己已经非常了解美国。但是，当我踏上这片土地的时候，我才发现我完全错了，美国这个社会和我从课本学到的根本不一样。在西雅图，我平生第一次认识了互联网。

Well, 20 years ago I came to America. My first trip to America, to Seattle. Before that I learned so much about America, from my books, from my teachers, from my school, and my parents. And I think I know enough about America. But when I came to America I thought totally wrong. America is not what I learned from the books. And in Seattle I found the Internet.

回到中国之后，我告诉朋友们，我打算开一家互联网公司。我邀请了24位好友，讨论了两个小时。到了最后，还是没有人理解我想要做的东西，我们进行了投票，23人选择反对。我的朋友们劝我说：―忘了它吧！根本就不存在这么一个叫做互联网的东西，千万不要去尝试。‖只有一个人对我说：―马云，我相信你，虽然我不知道你想要做什么，如果你想做，就大胆去做吧，因为你还年轻。‖那年，我30岁。

And then I came back and tell my friends that I’m going to open a company called Internet. I invited 24 of my friends, had a two-hour discussion. And finally we had a vote. 23 of them against me. ―Forget about it. There’s no such kind of network called Internet. Don’t do it.‖ There’s only one person who said ―Jack, I trust you. I don’t know what that is, but if you want to try it, go ahead, try it. Because you’re still young.‖ At that time I was 30 years old.

没有任何的计算机知识、商业知识，我开始了创业之路。我开办了第一家公司，和我的妻子，还有一位同学。我们东拼西凑了1000美元，创业之路非常艰难。当时，我觉得自己是骑在盲虎背上的盲人（成语：盲人摸象，又骑虎难下）。20年风雨过去，我存活了下来。但是创业前三年，生活真的非常糟糕。我清楚地记得，我想向银行贷款3000美元，这花去了我整整三个月时间，我动用了所有的

关系，还是没拿到贷款。每个人都认为马云在撒谎，因为1996的时候他们不相信有互联网这个东西的存在。

So I started my business, without knowing anything about computer, without knowing anything about business. I started my first company, my wife and I and a school mate. We borrowed [start] from US $1,000 we start the business. It was so difficult. I called myself like a blind man riding on the back of blind tigers. Jumping around for the past 20 years I survive today. For the first three years life was really bad. I remember I tried to borrow US $3,000 from the banks. It took me three months asking any friends I know to borrow the money.Still failed, coz verybody said ―Jack is telling a lie, because there’s no such network called Internet in 1996.‖

有一天，1996下半年，中国正式接入了互联网。于是，我邀请了10位媒体朋友到我家里来，想告诉他们我没有撒谎，确实存在互联网这个东西。为了下载一张照片，我们当时花了三个半小时。大家说，―那东西真的能行得通吗？‖我说，―是的，行得通的，不是现在，是在未来十年之内。‖不管怎样，这至少证明了我没有撒谎。{中英文对照演讲稿}.

So one day, later 1996, China was connected to the Internet. I invited ten media friends to my apartment. I want to tell them I’m not telling a lie. There is a network called Internet. We waited three hours and a half to see the first – to download the first picture. And people said ―Is that thing going to work?‖ And I say ―Yeah, it’ll work, but not today. In ten years it’ll work.‖ But at least it proved that I was not telling a lie.

我还记得，当我们尝试帮助小公司在网络上销售产品，但是没有人愿意来，因为还没有人在网络上买东西。所以在第一周，我们的7个员工自己去买，自己去卖。到了第二周，有人开始在我们的平台上卖东西，我们买光了他出售的所有商品。我们有两个房间，堆满了我们那两个星期买的东西，而且是没有什么用的东西。这只是为了告诉大家互联网是行得通的，但这并不容易。1995年到1999年这期间，我们的创业失败了，没有一样条件是成熟的。

I remember when we tried to help our small business to sell online. Nobody want to sell because nobody come to buy. So first week we have seven employees, we buy and sell ourselves. The second week somebody start to sell on a website. We buy{中英文对照演讲稿}.

everything they sell. We have two rooms full of things we bought for New Year’s, [all garbage] for the first two weeks. In order to tell people that it works. It was not easy. Since 1995 to 1999 we failed. We go nowhere, our business, because nothing was ready.

到了1999年，我邀请18个好友到家里，我们决定再一次尝试，并且把网站命名为alibaba.com。人们问为什么叫阿里巴巴？我们希望互联网就如同一个宝库，可以让小企业芝麻开门。另外，这个名字容易拼写，也朗朗上口。我们想做的事情，是帮助小企业。

In 1999 I invited 18 friends of mine who came to my apartment. We decided to do it again. We call the name alibaba.com. And people say why Alibaba? We believe Internet is a treasure island which opens sesame for small business. And we used

Alibaba because it’s easy to spell, easy to remember. And we want to focus on helping small business.

当时我们注意到美国的电子商务致力于帮助大公司，帮助他们节约成本，而当时中国没有那么多的大公司，而是有很多的小企业，对于他们来说生存是如此艰难，假如我们能够用互联网技术来帮助这些小公司，这会非常有意思。

Because at that time we see commerce [with the] American e-commerce they focus on helping on big companies, they’re focusing on helping big companies to save the cost. We believed China we don’t have a lot of big companies, we have so many

small business, and small business it’s so difficult for them to survive. If we can using Internet as a technology to help small business it’ll be fantastic.

美国习惯于帮助大型企业，这就好比美国人擅长于打篮球；而在中国，我们应该会去打乒乓球，去帮助那些小公司。我们需要做的不是帮助小公司去节约成本，因为他们知道如何节约成本，他们需要学习的是如何赚钱。因此，我们的业务一直专注于帮助小企业在网络上赚钱。

So we start to say if America is good at helping big companies, just like America is good at making basketball we should play pingpong in China, we should help the small guys. And we should not helping small guys to save cost, because small business know how to save the cost, but small business should learn how to make money. So our business is focusing helping small business to make money online.

我们希望阿里巴巴这个公司可以活102年。人们会好奇地问，为什么是102年？因为阿里巴巴诞生于1999年，上个世纪我们经历了1年，这个世纪将是完整的100年，下一个世纪再经历1年，这样横跨三个世纪，102年。我们这是给了所有员工一个清晰的目标。无论我们有多少盈利，无论我们赚了多少钱，不论我们已经取得什么成绩，都不要认为我们已经成功。不要忘记我们希望活102年，现在才过了16年而已，前面还有86年。这86年中的任何一个时间，如果公司倒闭了，我们就谈不上成功。当我听到这个俱乐部（纽约经济俱乐部）已经有108年的历史，我十分惊讶，十分震惊。这其中一定有很多值得阿里巴巴学习的东西。 And we want to make the company last for 102 years. And people are curious – why 102 years? Because Alibaba was born in 1999, last year we had – last century we had one year, this century 100 years, next century one year. 102 across three centuries. We give a clear goal to any employees. Don’t say we are successful, no matter how much money we raised, no matter how much money we make, no matter how much we have achieved. Don’t forget we want to live 102 years. Now, 16 years passed, we have another 86 years to go. Because in next 86 years, if any time we die we’re never successful. When I heard this club is 108 years old I was surprised and shocked. There’s so much we can learn from that.

没有人相信阿里巴巴可以活下去。以前人们说：―你们的平台是免费的，你们的公司那么小。‖尤其是我们在美国上市的时候，人们又说：―你们阿里巴巴是做电子商务的，就像亚马逊一样。‖可能亚马逊是美国人眼中唯一的电子商务模式，但是我们不一样。

Well, today nobody believed that Alibaba could survive, because people say ―You are

[free], you’re tiny‖ and, you know, and especially when we talk about – when we IPO’d people say ―Ah, you are Alibaba, you are e-commerce. You’re like Amazon.‖ Because in American point of view Amazon probably is the only business model for e-commerce. But no, we are different.

我们和亚马逊不一样的是，我们自己不做买卖，我们帮助中小企业做买卖。在阿里巴巴的平台上，有一千万家小企业每天做交易。我们自己不送快递，但每天有二百万人帮着我们配送三千万包裹。{中英文对照演讲稿}.

The difference between us and Amazon is that we do not buy and sell, but we help small business to buy and sell. We have 10 million small business on our site buy and sell every day. And we do not deliver our packages, although – ourselves, though we have more than 2 million people help us to deliver over 30 million packages per day.

我们也没有自己的仓库，但是我们帮助那些中小物流快递公司管理成千上万个物流仓库。我们也没有任何商品库存，但是我们有3亿5千万的买家，每天有超过1亿2千万的消费者光顾我们的网站。去年我们的销售额是3900亿美元。今年，我们预计销售成交会超过沃尔玛全球，你要知道沃尔玛用了230万员工，而我们只是从18人扩大到了3.4万人。

We do not own warehouses, but we manage tens and thousands of warehouses for other small, medium sized delivery companies. And we do not own inventories, but we do have more than 350 million buyers. We have more than 120 million buyers coming to shop every day on our site. And also, we sell – our revenue last – our sales last year were US$ 390 billion. And this year, possibly, we are going to be bigger than Walmart globally. And Walmart manage – that size of business have more than 2.3 million people; we grow from 18 people to today 34,000 people.

我们和亚马逊不一样的还有，亚马逊是一个购物中心，你去逛亚马逊，去买你想要买的东西，就和产品展示的一模一样。但是在阿里巴巴，你看到的产品图片展示和你拿到手的产品或许不一样，人们会觉得惊讶，―这怎么有点不一样！‖但是他们喜欢这样的购物体验。在美国，电子商务是商务，而在中国，电子商务是人们的一种生活方式。年轻人交换他们的思想，互相沟通，建立信任，建立个人信用记录。就好像星巴克一样，你不是去星巴克品尝它的咖啡有多么美味。这是一种生活方式。这也正是互联网电商如何改变中国的地方。

And the difference between Amazon and us the other is Amazon is a shopping center. Because here e-commerce is commerce, in China e-commerce is a lifestyle. Young people, they using e-commerce to exchange ideas, they communicate, they build up the trust, they build up a record. It’s just like Starbucks – you never go to Starbucks to test how wonderful coffee is. It’s a lifestyle. And this is how Internet e-commerce is changing China.

我们感到自豪的，并不是我们卖了多少东西。我前面提到，今年我们的成交总额会超过沃尔玛——是的，我们对此很自豪。阿里巴巴会在未来五年，达到1万亿美元的成交额。这是我的目标，我认为我们会达到这个目标。更让我们自豪的是，

我们为中国直接和间接地提供了1400万个就业机会。我们在中国乡村创造就业机会，我们为中国女性提供就业机会。中国互联网上成功的卖家中，超过51%是女性。

And what we felt proud of is not how much things we sell. I said this year we’ll be bigger than Walmart – yes, we are proud. We know in five years we will sell US$ 1 trillion. This is my goal, which we think possibly we will make it. We are proud of that but we are more proud because we create direct [and indirect] job, 14 million jobs for China. And we’ve created jobs in the countryside. We created a lot of jobs for women. Over 51 percent of the power sellers on the Internet are women.

我们为这些事情感到自豪。有人又会说，阿里巴巴现在做到了这些，你们的下一步是什么？阿里巴巴无处不在，你们的未来打算是什么？今天，超过80%的在线交易是由阿里巴巴所创造，我们未来的目标是将阿里巴巴的业务拓展到全球。这不只是要成为最会卖货的公司。我们希望电子商务的基础设施能够全球化。相比美国，为什么中国的电子商务成长速度如此惊人？因为在中国的商业基础建设太差。不像在美国，你们有汽车，线下有无处不在的沃尔玛和凯马特（Kmart，美国现代超市零售企业鼻祖）。但是在中国，我们并没有这么好的基础设施。 So we feel so proud of that. And people say okay, now Alibaba did that. What's your next? What's your future cause you are everywhere. We, 80 percent of the buy and the sell online are created by our company. Our future is that we have to focus on

globalizing our business. It's not only sell more things. We want to make, to globalize the infrastructure of eCommerce. Why Internet eCommerce grow so fast in China than in the USA? Because the infrastructure of commerce in China was too bad. Not like here. You have [Click] Motors. You have all the shops offline, Walmart, Kmart, everything everywhere. But in China we have nothing nowhere.

电子商务在美国如同餐后甜点，它是对主流商业的补充。但是在中国，电子商务已经成为主菜。我们建设了电子商务的基础设施。所以，如果我们将我们的电子商务基础设施全球化，包括在全球范围内提供支付工具、物流中心和透明公开的交易平台，帮助全球的小公司将他们的产品卖到世界各个角落，帮助全球的消费顺利地买到世界各地的产品。我们的愿景是，未来十年内帮助全球20亿消费者在线购买全世界的产品，而且做到全球范围内72小时内收到商品，在中国范围内，无论你身在何处，24小时内收到商品。阿里巴巴的全球化战略，仍然是致力于帮助小企业，帮助他们以最有效的方式来做生意。我们会在自己的电商平台上，帮助到另外一千万家小企业。

So eCommerce in the US is a dessert. It's complementary to the main business. But in China it becomes the main course. We created the infrastructure. So we think if we globalize our infrastructure — the payment, the logistics center, the transparent platform all around the world. Helping the small business around the world to sell everywhere. Help the global consumers to buy everywhere. Our vision is in ten years we will help two billion consumers in the world to shop online anywhere in the world. You're shopping online with 72 hours you'll receive the product. And anywhere in China you shop online, you will receive the products within 24 hours. And we think our globalization is still focused on helping small business. And helping them to do

史蒂夫·乔布斯演讲稿(中英对照)

这是苹果公司和Pixar动画工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12号在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上面的演讲稿。

Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.

谢谢大家。很荣幸能和你们，来自世界最好大学之一的毕业生们，一块儿参加毕业典礼。老实说，我大学没有毕业，今天恐怕是我一生中离大学毕业最近的一次了。

Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

今天我想告诉大家来自我生活的三个故事。没什么大不了的，只是三个故事而已。 The first story is about connecting the dots.

第一个故事，如何串连生命中的点滴。

I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife, except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.

我在里得大学读了六个月就退学了，但是在18个月之后--我真正退学之前，我还常去学校。为何我要选择退学呢？这还得从我出生之前说起。我的生母是一个年轻、未婚的大学毕业生，她决定让别人收养我。她有一个很强烈的信仰，认为我应该被一个大学毕业生家庭收养。于是，一对律师夫妇说好了要领养我，然而最后一秒钟，他们改变了主意，决定要个女孩儿。然后我排在收养人名单中的养父母在一个深夜接到电话，“很意外，我们多了一个男婴，你们要吗？”“当然要！”但是我的生母后来又发现我的养母没有大学毕业，养父连高中都没有毕业。她拒绝在领养书上签字。几个月后，我的养父母保证会让我上大学，她妥协了。 This was the start in my life. And 17 years later, I did go to college, but I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my

working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I

decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out, I could stop taking the required classes that didn't

interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting. 这是我生命的开端。十七年后，我上大学了，但是我很无知地选了一所差不多和斯坦福一样贵的学校，几乎花掉我那蓝领阶层养父母一生的积蓄。六个月后，我觉得不值得。我看不出自己以后要做什么，也不晓得大学会怎样帮我指点迷津，而我却在花销父母一生的积蓄。所以我决定退学，并且相信没有做错。一开始非常吓人，但回忆起来，这却是我一生中作的最好的决定之一。从我退学的那一刻起，我可以停止一切不感兴趣的必修课，开始旁听那些有意思得多的课。 It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example.

事情并不那么美好。我没有宿舍可住，睡在朋友房间的地上。为了吃饭，我收集五分一个的旧可乐瓶，每个星期天晚上步行七英里到哈尔-克里什纳庙里改善一下一周的伙食。我喜欢这种生活方式。能够遵循自己的好奇和直觉前行后来被证明是多么的珍贵。让我来给你们举个例子吧。

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer was beautifully hand-calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great

typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

当时的里德大学提供可能是全国最好的书法指导。校园中每一张海报，抽屉上的每一张标签，都是漂亮的手写体。由于我已退学，不用修那些必修课，我决定选一门书法课上上。在这门课上，我学会了“serif”和"sans-serif"两种字体、学会了怎样在不同的字母组合中改变字间距、学会了怎样写出好的字来。这是一种科学无法捕捉的微妙，楚楚动人、充满历史底蕴和艺术性，我觉得自己被完全吸引了。 None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came

back to me, and we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.

当时我并不指望书法在以后的生活中能有什么实用价值。但是，十年之后，我们在设计第一台 Macintosh计算机时，它一下子浮现在我眼前。于是，我们把这些东西全都设计进了计算机中。这是第一台有这么漂亮的文字版式的计算机。要不是我当初在大学里偶然选了这么一门课，Macintosh计算机绝不会有那么多种印刷字体或间距安排合理的字号。要不是Windows照搬了 Macintosh，个人电脑可能不会有这些字体和字号。{中英文对照演讲稿}.

If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.

要不是退了学，我决不会碰巧选了这门书法课，个人电脑也可能不会有现在这些漂亮的版式了。

Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma,

whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.

当然，我在大学里不可能从这一点上看到它与将来的关系。十年之后再回头看，两者之间关系就非常、非常清楚了。你们同样不可能从现在这个点上看到将来；只有回头看时，才会发现它们之间的关系。所以你必须相信，那些点点滴滴，会在你未来的生命里，以某种方式串联起来。你必须相信一些东西——你的勇气、宿命、生活、因缘，随便什么——因为相信这些点滴能够一路连接会给你带来循从本觉的自信，它使你远离平凡，变得与众不同。

My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We'd just

released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned 30, and then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so, things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out.

When we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at 30, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had

dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me. I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I'd been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

第二个故事是关于爱与失的。我很幸运，很早就发现自己喜欢做的事情。我二十岁的时候就和沃茨在父母的车库里开创了苹果公司。我们工作得很努力，十年后，苹果公司成长为拥有四千名员工，价值二十亿的大公司。我们刚刚推出了最好的创意，Macintosh操作系统，在这之前的一年，也就是我刚过三十岁，我被解雇了。你怎么可能被一个亲手创立的公司解雇？事情是这样的，在公司成长期间，我雇佣了一个我们认为非常聪明，可以和我一起经营公司的人。一年后，我们对公司未来的看法产生分歧，董事会站在了他的一边。于是，在我三十岁的时候，我出局了，很公开地出局了。我整个成年生活的焦点没了，这很要命。一开始的几个月我真的不知道该干什么。我觉得我让公司的前一代创建者们失望了，我把传给我的权杖给弄丢了。我与戴维德·帕珂德和鲍勃·诺埃斯见面，试图为这彻头彻尾的失败道歉。我败得如此之惨以至于我想要逃离硅谷。但有个东西在慢慢地叫醒我：我还爱着我从事的行业。这次失败一点儿都没有改变这一点。我被逐了，但我仍爱着我的事业。我决定重新开始。

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. 当时我没有看出来，但事实证明“被苹果开除”是发生在我身上最好的事。成功的重担被重新起步的轻松替代，对任何事情都不再特别看重，这让我感觉如此自由，进入一生中最有创造力的阶段。接下来的五年，我创立了一个叫NeXT的公司，接着又建立了Pixar，然后与后来成为我妻子的女人相爱。Pixar出品了世界第一个电脑动画电影：“玩具总动员”，现在它已经是世界最成功的动画制作工作室了。 In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.{中英文对照演讲稿}.

在一系列的成功运转后，苹果收购了NeXT，我又回到了苹果。我们在NeXT开发的技术在苹果的复兴中起了核心作用，另外劳琳和我组建了一个幸福的家庭。 I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it.

Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.

我非常确信，如果我没有被苹果炒掉，这些就都不会发生。这个药的味道太糟了，但是我想病人需要它。有些时候，生活会给你迎头一棒。不要丧失信心。我确信唯一让我一路走下来的是我对自己所做事情的热爱。你必须去找你热爱的东西，对工作如此，对你的爱人也是这样的。工作会占据你生命中很大的一部分，你只有相信自己做的是伟大的工作，你才能怡然自得。如果你还没有找到，那么就继续找，不要停。全心全意地找，当你找到时，你会知道的。就像任何真诚的关系，随着时间的流逝，只会越来越紧密。所以继续找，不要停。

My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went

something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death,

leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

我的第三个故事关于死亡。我17岁的时候读到过一句话“如果你把每一天都当作最后一天过，有一天你会发现你是正确的”。这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。从那以后，过去的33年，每天早上我都会对着镜子问自己：“如果今天是我的最后一天，我会不会做我想做的事情呢？”如果连着一段时间，答案都是否定的的话，我就知道我需要改变一些东西了。提醒自己就要死了是我遇见的最大的帮助，帮我作了生命中的大决定。因为几乎任何事——所有的荣耀、骄傲、对难堪和失败的恐惧——在死亡面前都会消隐，留下真正重要的东西。提醒自己就要死亡是我

TED中英对照演讲稿 我如何爱上一条鱼

Dan Barber: How I fell in love with a fish

我一生中接触过很多鱼。 只有两种是我的最爱。 第一种， 是源于激情。 它是一条美丽的鱼， 美味，纹理细腻，肉质丰富， 是菜单上最受欢迎的鱼。 多么美的鱼啊！ （笑声） 更好的是， 它是依照最高标准养殖的， 目的是保持它的可持续性的。 而卖他的人也会感到心安理得。

So, I've known a lot of fish in my life. I've loved only two. That first one, it was more like a passionate affair. It was a beautiful fish, flavorful, textured, meaty, a best-seller on the menu. What a fish. (Laughter) Even better, it was farm-raised to the supposed highest standards of sustainability. So you could feel good about selling it.

我曾经沉醉于这美丽的关系中， 时间大概延续了几个月。 有一天，这个公司的高层打电话给我 邀请我参加一个活动 并就渔业的可持续性发展发表演说。 我说，“当然可以”。 这个公司正是要试图解决一个 对于我们厨师来说正在变得不可想象的问题。 “我们如何把鱼类留在菜单上？”

I was in a relationship with this beauty for several months. One day, the head of the company called and asked if I'd speak at an event about the farm's sustainability. "Absolutely," I said. Here was a company trying to solve what's become this unimaginable problem for our chefs. How do we keep fish on our menus?

在过去的50年中， 我们从各个海洋中捕鱼 就像是砍伐树木。 绝不是夸大它的破坏性。 90%的大型鱼类，那些我们喜爱的种类， 金枪鱼，大比目鱼，三鲑鱼，剑鱼， 他们

都要灭绝了。 几乎没有多少剩下了。 所以，不管是好是坏， 水产养殖业，养鱼业，都会成为我们未来的一部分。 有很多针对这个行业的言论。 其实它们大部分都是关于养鱼业会污染环境， 而且效率很低，比如说金枪鱼。 最大的弊病就是， 养殖金枪鱼的饲料转换率是 15比1。 这个意思是说，每生产1磅金枪鱼肉 要耗费15磅用其他野生鱼类做的饲料。 这可不是很具有可持续发展性。 而且也不好吃。

For the past 50 years, we've been fishing the seas like we clear-cut forests. It's hard to overstate the destruction. 90 percent of large fish, the ones we love, the tunas, the halibuts, the salmons, swordfish, they've collapsed. There's almost nothing left. So, for better or for worse, aquaculture, fish farming, is going to be a part of our future. A lot of arguments against it. Fish farms pollute, most of them do anyway, and they're inefficient, take tuna. A major drawback. It's got a feed conversion ratio of 15 to one. That means it takes fifteen pounds of wild fish to get you one pound of farm tuna. Not very sustainable. Doesn't taste very good either.

最后， 这个公司想做些正确事情。 我也想支持他们。 在那次活动的前一天， 我联系了公司的公关部门头头。 就让我们暂且称呼他为“唐阁下”。

So here, finally, was a company trying to do it right. I wanted to support them. The day before the event I called the head of PR for the company. Let's call him Don.

我说：“唐阁下， 据我说知，事实是这样的，你们在海洋捕鱼业十分出名， 而且你们不会产生污染。”

"Don," I said, "just to get the facts straight, you guys are famous for farming so far out to sea, you don't pollute."

他回应： “你说的对。我们作业的地点很远， 我们捕鱼所产生的污染物都被稀释掉了， 不会集中残留在一个地方。” 然后他补充到， “我们算得上是独树一帜。 饲料转换率？

2.5比1，” 他说。 “行业中最好的。”

"That's right," he said. "We're so far out, the waste from our fish gets distributed, not concentrated." And then he added, "We're basically a world unto ourselves. That feed conversion ratio? 2.5 to one," he said. "Best in the business."

2.5比1，很好。 “什么2.5比1？你们在喂什么？”

他回答道：“可持续性蛋白质”。

2.5 to one, great. "2.5 to one what? What are you feeding?"

"Sustainable proteins," he said.

我说：“很好”。然后挂了电话。 结果那晚，我躺在床上想： 可持续性蛋白质是什么鬼东西？ （笑声）

"Great," I said. Got off the phone. And that night, I was lying in bed, and I thought: What the hell is a sustainable protein? (Laughter)

所以第二天，就在那个活动之前，我打电话给唐阁下。 我问道：'唐阁下，你有没有一些可持续性蛋白质的例子？"

So the next day, just before the event, I called Don. I said, "Don, what are some examples of sustainable proteins?"

他说他不知道。他会去问问周围的人。 然后，我和这个公司里的一些人通了电话。 但是没有人能给我一个明确的答案。 直到最后，我通上了电话 对方是生物学专家。 让我也暂且叫他 “唐阁下”。 （笑声）

He said he didn't know. He would ask around. Well, I got on the phone with a few people in the company. No one could give me a straight answer. Until finally, I got on the phone with the head biologist. Let's call him Don too. (Laughter)

我说：“唐阁下” “可以举例说明一下可持续性蛋白质吗？”

恩，他提到了一些藻类 还有一些鱼食， 然后他提到鸡丸。 我问道： “鸡丸?” 他说，“是，羽毛，鸡皮， 骨骼，排泄物， 被晒干加工后添入饲料。

"Don," I said, "what are some examples of sustainable proteins?"

Well, he mentioned some algaes and some fish meals, and then he said chicken pellets. I said, "Chicken pellets?"

He said, "Yeah, feathers, skin, bone meal, scraps, dried and processed into feed."

我说：“鸡在饲料中的比例 是多少？” 想一下，你知道，2%。

结果他说：“恩，大概占30%，”

我说，“唐阁下，用鸡喂鱼， 这算什么可持续发展性？” （笑声）

电话的那边安静了很长时间， 然后他对我说， “世界上就是有太多的鸡了。” （笑声） I said, "What percentage of your feed is chicken?" thinking, you know, two percent.

"Well, it's about 30 percent," he said.

I said, "Don, what's sustainable about feeding chicken to fish?" (Laughter) There was a long pause on the line, and he said, "there's just too much chicken in the world." (Laughter)

于是，我不再爱这个鱼了。 （笑声） 不，不是因为我是个自以为是， 伪善的美食家。 其实我是这样的人。 （笑声） 不，我不再爱这个鱼了，是因为，我向上帝发誓， 在那次对话之后，那个鱼尝起来更像鸡。 （笑声）

I fell out of love with this fish. (Laughter) No, not because I'm some self-righteous, goody-two shoes foodie. I actually am. (Laughter) No, I actually fell out of love with this fish because, I swear to God, after that conversation, the fish tasted like chicken. (Laughter)

这第二条鱼， 它则是另一种不同的爱情故事。 是很浪漫的那种， 那种你越多了解你的鱼， 你就越爱它。 我第一次在一个饭店中吃到这种鱼， 位置在西班牙南部。 很久以前一个记者朋友和我说过这里。 她可以说是个媒人。 （笑声） 那条鱼在桌子上 很亮，有着光晕，白色的那种。 厨师烹饪它的时间过长了。 好像是烹饪了两次。 但是太神奇了，它还是很好吃。

This second fish, it's a different kind of love story. It's the romantic kind, the kind where the more you get to know your fish, you love the fish. I first ate it at a restaurant in southern Spain. A journalist friend had been talking about this fish for a long time. She kind of set us up. (Laughter) It came to the table a bright, almost shimmering, white color. The chef had overcooked it. Like twice over. Amazingly, it was still delicious.

谁可以做出这样好吃的鱼 而且还是在烹饪时间过长的情况下？ 我不能， 但是这个人可以。 让我们叫他米格尔。 其实他的名字就是米格尔。 （笑声） 但是，他没有烹调那条

TED演讲中英对照1

At every stage of our lives we make decisions that will profoundly influence the lives of the people we're going to become, and then when we become those

people, we're not always thrilled with the decisions we made. So young people pay good money to get tattoos removed that teenagers paid good money to get.

Middle-aged people rushed to divorce people who young adults rushed to marry. Older adults work hard to lose what middle-aged adults worked hard to gain. On and on and on. The question is, as a psychologist, that fascinates me is, why do we make decisions that our future selves so often regret?

在我们生命的每个阶段，我们都会做出一些决定，这些决定会深刻影响未来我们自己的生活，当我们成为未来的自己时，我们并不总是对过去做过的决定感到高兴。所以年轻人花很多钱洗去当还是青少年时花了很多钱做上的纹身。中年人急着跟年轻时迫不及待想结婚的人离婚。老年人很努力的挥霍着作为中年人时不停工作所赚的钱。如此没完没了。作为一个心理学家，让我感兴趣的问题是，为什么我们会做出让自己将来常常后悔的决定？

Now, I think one of the reasons -- I'll try to convince you today — is that we have a fundamental misconception about the power of time. Every one of you knows that the rate of change slows over the human lifespan, that your children seem to

change by the minute but your parents seem to change by the year. But what is the name of this magical point in life where change suddenly goes from a gallop to a crawl? Is it teenage years? Is it middle age? Is it old age? The answer, it turns out, for most people, is now, wherever now happens to be. What I want to convince you today is that all of us are walking around with an illusion, an illusion that history,

our personal history, has just come to an end, that we have just recently become the people that we were always meant to be and will be for the rest of our lives. 我认为其中一个原因——而我今天想说服你们的——就是我们对时间的力量有个基本的错误概念。你们每个人都知道变化的速度随着人的年龄增长不断放慢，孩子们好像每分钟都有变化，而父母们的变化则要慢得多。那么生命中这个让变化突然间从飞速变得缓慢的神奇转折点应该叫什么呢？是青少年时期吗？是中年时期吗？是老年阶段吗？其实对大多数人来说，答案是，现在，无论现在发生在什么。今天我想让大家明白的是，我们所有人都在围绕着一种错觉生活，这种错觉就是，我们每个人的过去，都已经结束了，我们已经成为了我们应该成为的那种人，在余下的生命中也都会如此。

Let me give you some data to back up that claim. So here's a study of change in people's personal values over time. Here's three values. Everybody here holds all of them, but you probably know that as you grow, as you age, the balance of these values shifts. So how does it do so? Well, we asked thousands of people. We asked half of them to predict for us how much their values would change in the next 10 years, and the others to tell us how much their values had changed in the last 10 years. And this enabled us to do a really interesting kind of analysis, because it allowed us to compare the predictions of people, say, 18 years old, to the reports of people who were 28, and to do that kind of analysis throughout the lifespan.

我想给你们展示一些数据来支持这个观点。这是一项关于人们的个人价值观随时间变化的研究。这里有3种价值观。每个人的生活都与这三个价值观相关，但是你们可能知道，随着你们慢慢长大，变老，这三个价值观的平衡点会不断变化。到底是怎么回事呢？我们询问了

数千人。我们让他们当中一半的人预测了一下在未来10年中，他们的价值观会发生多大的改变，让另一半人告诉我们在过去的10年中，他们的价值观发生了多大的变化。这项调查可以让我们做一个很有趣的分析，因为它可以让我们将大约18岁左右的人的预测同大约28岁左右的人的答案相比较，这项分析可以贯穿人的一生。

Here's what we found. First of all, you are right, change does slow down as we age, but second, you're wrong, because it doesn't slow nearly as much as we think. At every age, from 18 to 68 in our data set, people vastly underestimated how much change they would experience over the next 10 years. We call this the "end of history" illusion. To give you an idea of the magnitude of this effect, you can connect these two lines, and what you see here is that 18-year-olds anticipate changing only as much as 50-year-olds actually do.

这是我们的发现。首先，你们是对的，随着我们年龄的增长，变化会减缓。第二，你们错了，因为这种变化并不像我们想象的那么慢。在我们的数据库从18岁到68岁的每一个年龄段中，人们大大的低估了在未来的10年他们会经历多少变化。我们把这叫做“历史终止”错觉。为了让你们了解这种影响有多大， 你们可以把这两条线连接起来，你们现在看到的是18岁的人群预期的改变仅仅和50岁的人群实际经历的一样。

Now it's not just values. It's all sorts of other things. For example, personality. Many of you know that psychologists now claim that there are five fundamental

dimensions of personality: neuroticism, openness to experience, agreeableness, extraversion, and conscientiousness. Again, we asked people how much they

expected to change over the next 10 years, and also how much they had changed

over the last 10 years, and what we found, well, you're going to get used to seeing this diagram over and over, because once again the rate of change does slow as we age, but at every age, people underestimate how much their personalities will change in the next decade.

现在不仅仅是价值观了。其他的方面都也有变化。比如说，人格。你们当中的很多人知道现在心理学家们认为人格可以分为五个基本维度：神经质性，经验汲取度，协调性，外向性和道德感。回到原来的话题，我们问人们他们期待未来的10年中自己会有多大的变化，以及他们在过去的10年中发生了多少变化，我们发现了，你们会习惯不断地看到这个图表，因为又一次，变化速率随着我们的年龄增长减慢了。但是在每一个年龄阶段，人们都低估了在未来的十年中他们的人格会发生多大的改变。

And it isn't just ephemeral things like values and personality. You can ask people about their likes and dislikes, their basic preferences. For example, name your best friend, your favorite kind of vacation, what's your favorite hobby, what's your

favorite kind of music. People can name these things. We ask half of them to tell us, "Do you think that that will change over the next 10 years?" and half of them to tell us, "Did that change over the last 10 years?" And what we find, well, you've seen it twice now, and here it is again: people predict that the friend they have now is the friend they'll have in 10 years, the vacation they most enjoy now is the one they'll enjoy in 10 years, and yet, people who are 10 years older all say, "Eh, you know, that's really changed."

而且不光是像价值观和人格这样的临时性的特质。你们可以问问人们关于他们喜好和厌恶的事，他们基本的偏好。比如说，说出你最好朋友的名字，你最喜欢什么样的假期，你最大的爱好是什么，你最喜欢什么样的音乐。人们可以说出这些事情。我们让他们当中的一半人告诉我们，“你认为这在未来10年内会改变吗？”让另一半告诉我们，“这个在过去十年内变化了吗？”我们的发现是，嗯，这个图你们已经看过2次了，再展示一次：人们推测他们现在的朋友在未来10年中还会是他们的朋友，他们喜欢的度假之地在未来10年内还会是他们喜欢的地方，然而，年长10岁的人都会说：“嗯，你知道，这确实不一样了
