1、ted 英语演讲稿：英语学习的乐趣篇一：TED 英语演讲稿：英语学习的乐趣我知道你们在想什么，你们觉得我迷路了，马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带回我的座位上。 （掌声） 。我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。 “来这里度假的吗，亲爱的？” （笑声） “来探望孩子的吗？这次要待多久呢？恩，事实上，我希望能再待久一点。我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过 30 年了。（掌声）这段时间里，我看到了很多变化。现在这份数据是挺吓人的，而我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的朋友，她在阿布达比教成人英语。在一个晴朗的日子里，她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。但最后却变成是她在学习
2、所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些植物是如何被用作药材，化妆品，烹饪，香草。这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢？当然是从他们的祖父母，甚至曾祖父母那里得来的。不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。 but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate. a language diesevery 14 days. now, at the same time, english is the undisputed global language. couldthere be a connection well i do
3、nt 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 stilla hardship post. actually,not that long ago. that is a little bit too early. but nevertheless, i wasrecruited by the british council along with about 25 other teache
4、rs. and we were the first non-muslims to teach in the state schoolsthere in kuwait. we were brought to teach english because the government wanted tomodernize the country and empower the citizens through education. and of course, thebenefited from some of that lovely oil wealth. 但遗憾的是，今天很多语言正在以前所未有的
5、速度消失。每 14 天就有一种语言消失，而与此同时，英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。这其中有关联吗？我不知道。但我知道的是，我见证过许多改变。初次来到海湾地区时，我去了科威特。当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。其实，没有那么久啦，这有点太久以前了。总之，我和其他 25 位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师，在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语，是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然，英国也能得到些好处，产油国可是很有钱的。 okay. now this is the major change that ive seen - how teachi
6、ng english hasmorphed from being a mutuallyenglish-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 universitiesof the and the so everybody wants to have an english education, naturally.but if youre not a n
7、ative speaker, you have to pass a test.言归正传，我见过最大的改变，就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科，也不再只是英国的专利。英语（教学）已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。何乐而不为呢？毕竟，最好的教育来自于最好的大学，而根据最新的世界大学排名，那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育，但如果你不是以英文为母语，你就要通过考试。now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic abilitywell, i
8、dont think so. we english teachers reject them all the time. we put astop 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 dutchspeaker who had the cure for cancer, would i stop him from entering my britishu
9、niversity i dont think so. but indeed, that is exactly what we do. we englishteachers are thegatekeepers. 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. maybethe barrier would be too universal.但仅凭语言能力就拒
10、绝学生这样对吗？譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学家，但他会需要有和律师一样的语言能力吗？我不这么认为。但身为英语老师的我们，却总是拒绝他们。我们处处设限，将学生挡在路上，使他们无法再追求自己的梦想，直到他们通过考试。现在容我换一个方式说，如果我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人，而这个人能治愈癌症，我会阻止他进入我的英国大学吗？我想不会。但事实上，我们的确在做这种事。我们这些英语老师就是把关的。你必须先让我们满意，使我们认定你的英文够好。但这可能是危险的。把太多的权力交由这么小的一群人把持，也许会令这种障碍太过普及。 okay. but, i hear you say, what about the
11、research its all in english. so thebooks 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 totranslation if you think about the islamic golden age, there was lots of translation then. they tr
12、anslated from latin andgreek into arabic, into persian, and then it was translated on into the germaniclanguages of europe and the romance languages. and so light shone upon the dark agesof europe. now dont get me wrong; i am not against teaching english, all you englishteachers out there. i love it
13、 that we have a global language. we need one today morethan ever. but i am against using it as a barrier. do we really want to end up with600 languages and the main one being english, or chinese we need more than that.where do we draw the line this system equates intelligence with a knowledge of eng
14、lishwhich is quite . 于是，我听到你们问但是研究呢研究报告都要用英文。 ”的确，研究论著和期刊都要用英文发表，但这只是一种理所当然的现象。有英语要求，自然就有英语供给，然后就这么循环下去。我倒想问问大家，为什么不用翻译呢？想想伊斯兰的黄金时代，当时翻译盛行，人们把拉丁文和希腊文翻译成阿拉伯文或波斯文，然后再由拉伯文或波斯文翻译为欧洲的日耳曼语言以及罗曼语言。于是文明照亮了欧洲的黑暗时代。但不要误会我的意思，我不是反对英语教学或是在座所有的英语老师。我很高兴我们有一个全球性的语言，这在今日尤为重要。但我反对用英语设立障碍。难道我们真希望世界上只剩下 600 种语言，其中又以英
15、文或中文为主流吗？我们需要的不只如此。那么我们该如何拿捏呢？这个体制把智能和英语能力画上等号这是相当武断的。and i want to remind you that the giants upon whose shoulders todays stand did not have to haveenglish, 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, dy
16、slexic. butfortunately for the world, he did not have to pass an english test. because they didntstart until 1964 with toefl, the american test of english. now its exploded. thereare lots and lots of tests of english. and millions and millions of students takethese tests every year. now you might th
17、ink, you and me, those fees arent bad, theyreokay, but they are prohibitive to so many millions of poor people. so immediately,were rejecting them.我想要提醒你们，扶持当代知识分子的这些“巨人肩膀不必非得具有英文能力，他们不需要通过英语考试。爱因斯坦就是典型的例子。顺便说一下，他在学校还曾被认为需要课外补习，因为他其实有阅读障碍。但对整个世界来说,很幸运的当时他不需要通过英语考试，因为他们直到 1964 年才开始使用托福。现在英语测验太泛滥了，有太多
18、太多的英语测验，以及成千上万的学生每年都在参加这些考试。现在你会认为，你和我都这么想，这些费用不贵，价钱满合理的。但是对数百万的穷人来说，这些费用高不可攀。所以，当下我们又拒绝了他们。 it brings to mind a headline i saw recently: education: the great divide. nowi get it, i understand why people would focus on english. they want to give theirchildren the best chance in life. and to do that,
19、 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. 这使我想起最近看到的一个新闻标题：“教育：大鸿沟”现在我懂了。我了解为什么大家都重视英语，因为他们希望给孩子最好的人生机会。为了达成这目的，他们需要西方教育。毕竟，不可否认，最好的工作都留给那些西方大学毕业出来的人。就像我之前说的，这是一种循环。okay. let me tell you
20、 a story about two scientists, two english scientists. theywere doing an experiment to do with genetics and the forelimbs and the hind limbsof animals. but they couldnt get the results they wanted. they really didnt know whatto do, until along came a german scientist who realized that they were usin
21、g two wordsfor forelimb and hind limb, whereas genetics does not differentiate and neither doesgerman. 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 achieveand learn so much more. 好，我跟你们说一个关于两位科学家的故事：
22、有两位英国科学家在做一项实验，是关于遗传学的，以及动物的前、后肢。但他们无法得到他们想要的结果。他们真的不知道该怎么办，直到来了一位德国的科学家。他发现在英文里前肢和后肢是不同的二个字，但在遗传学上没有区别。在德语也是同一个字。所以，叮！问题解决了。如果你不能想到一个念头，你会卡在那里。但如果另一个语言能想到那念头，然后通过合作我们可以达成目的，也学到更多。我的女儿从科威特来到英格兰，她在阿拉伯的学校学习科学和数学。那是所阿拉伯中学。在学校里，她得把这些知识翻译成英文，而她在班上却能在这些学科上拿到最好的成绩。这告诉我们，当外籍学生来找我们，我们可能无法针对他们所知道的给予赞赏，因为那是来自于
23、他们母语的知识。当一个语言消失时，我们不知道还有什么也会一并失去。this is - i dont know if you saw it on cnn recently - they gave the heroes awardto a young kenyan shepherd boy who couldnt study at night in his village like allthe village children,篇二：ted 英语演讲稿 ted 英语演讲稿ted 英语演讲稿i was one of the only kids in college who had a reason

34、此，就是为了准备这个考试 其中 25%的成绩 是由英语决定的 这个考试叫做高考。有 8000 万的中国高中生 都已经参加过这个“独木桥”考试 学习英语的强度 几乎不可想象。除非你亲自见证过老师：完美！学生：完美！老师：完美！学生：完美！老师：我想讲完美的英语学生：我想讲完美的英语老师：我想说-学生：我想说-学生：完美的英语。学生：完美的英语老师：我要改变我的命运！第 1 页 共 1 页 学生：我要改变我的命运！jw：那么这股英语热是好还是坏呢？ 英语是海啸吗， 席卷其他所有的语言？不见得。 英语是世界第二大语言。 你的母语是你的生活 但是英语可以让你参与更大范围的讨论。 一个全世界范围的关于全
35、球问题的讨论。 比如气候改变或者贫穷 或者饥饿，或是疾病 这个世界上还有其他的全球性语言 数学是科学的语言 音乐是感情的语言 现在，英语正在成为解决问题的语言 并不是因为美国促使其如此。 而是因为全世界的需要。 所以英语热是一个转折点就像我们城市里的供电系统 或者柏林墙的倒塌， 英语代表着希望 拥有一个更好的未来的希望未来全世界将用共同语言 去解决共同的问题非常感谢 （掌声） 第 2 页 共 2 页篇四： XX 年总结之学习篇ted 演讲 XX 年总结之学习篇ted 演讲 ted（指technology, entertainment, design 在英语中的缩写，即技术、娱乐、设计）是美国的
