1、ted 英语演讲稿篇一：英语演讲稿 3 分钟 TED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所有当地植物在阿拉伯语
2、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 dont know. bu
3、t 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 teachers. and we
4、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速度消失。每 14 天
5、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 teaching english
6、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 native speak
7、er, 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 dont think
8、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 britishuniversity i
9、 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绝学生这样对吗？譬如如
10、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 research it
11、s 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 translated fr
12、om 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 that we ha
13、ve 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 englishwhich i
14、s 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，其中又以英文或中文为主流吗？我们
15、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, dyslexic. but
16、fortunately 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 think, you an
17、d 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，有太多太多的英语测验，以及成
18、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, they need
19、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 a story ab
20、out 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 using two words
21、for 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：有两位英国科学家在做一
22、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，因为那是来自于他们母语的知识。当一个
23、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,篇二：3 分钟英语演讲稿带翻译 3 篇 my chinese dream我的中国梦i am very glad to stand here to give thier a short my t
24、opic is thatthe youth are the future of motherland 很高兴站在这里做这篇短小的演讲，我演讲的主题是青年是祖国的未来。在准备英语演讲比赛的时候，我本想简单地从上搜索一些文章作为我演讲的内容。我看过很多文章，有著名主持人的、北大教授的、大学生的，也有初中生的。但是看完之后，我放弃了当初的想法，我甚至为当初的想法感到有一些羞愧。因为今天我站在这里向大家演讲的主题，是一个庄重而严肃的主题；是一个充满荣耀与自豪的主题；是每一个中华儿女共同期盼的主题。每个人都有属于他们自己的中国梦，而我，当然也有一直萦绕在心怀只属于我的中国梦。so whats my ch
25、inese dream finally i will announce. we had learned a lot of knowledge and understood a lot of truth in the book. wehad a basic concept to our country at that time. we know that our country is fullof sunshine , and we are the future of our country, and our dreams are to be the hopeof our motherland.
26、 我的中国梦是什么样的？先卖个关子。记得刚刚上学那会儿，我们天真无邪。在课本里，我们学到了很多很多知识，也明白了很多很多道理，我们对祖国也有了一个最基本的概念。我们知道我们的祖国到处充满阳光，正在慢慢发展，而我们，就是祖国未来的花朵，未来的希望。我们梦想将来能够成为祖国的希望。这，是我们最初的中国梦。最真诚的我们，最真诚的梦。 但是，不知道什么时候开始，我们长大了，生活似乎一下子变得和以前不太一样了，与此同时，虽然我们很不想承认但是却又不得不承认的是，我们的思想，我们的为人处世观，我们对我们祖国的看法，也潜移默化中慢慢开始了转变。我们的社会变得到处充满欺骗、冷漠、勾心斗角、压力、腐败、险恶，我
27、们变得暴躁，不冷静，愤世嫉俗。我们的国家，似乎也开始变得千疮百孔。而好多我们亲爱的祖国委以重任培养的青年学生们变得轻浮、急躁，更别提什么梦想，什么中国梦了？are we sick, or is our dear motherland sick 我很惊讶，当大街上有老人摔倒，我们不敢再去扶起；我很难过，当有人做了好事被报道，更多的人说他做作；我很伤心，当我看到我们众多的青年人变得冷漠、市侩、欺诈以及缺乏理想。到底是我们病了，还是我们亲爱的祖国病了？i dont want to talk about the construction of our country politics, and als
28、o speak impassioned speech on the diaoyu island event .i just want to appealyoung people,showing the side of youth,good and must learn to organizeour own thoughts, correct our own concept, and change our direction to the right sidein future life. china dream actually lies in our young generation, es
29、pecially ofthe intellectuals.我的中国梦，不想大谈政治，也不想对钓鱼岛事件发表慷慨激昂的演讲。我只想呼吁，呼吁我们年轻人，呼吁我们祖国的希望能够将我们的青春一面，将我们的善良一面，将我们的自信一面好好展现出来。我们要学会整理自己的思想，端正自己看问题的观念，摆正自己的人生方向。我们的中国梦实际上正掌握在我们自己手上，掌握在我们年青一代，尤其是知识分子手上。也许，一个人，是渺小的；但是当他和祖国联系起来时，就是伟大的。也许，一个梦想，是渺小的，但是当它成为祖国的梦想时，就是不可估量的。也许，我无法用自己一个人的力量撬起整个中国，但是我们千千万万年轻人一起为祖国的梦想去
30、奋斗时，我们的祖国就足以令世界颤抖、动容。i dream to construct our beauty china with millions of young people who have thesame dream. we do it without exaggeration but only with persistence.我梦想和万千具有相同梦想的年轻人去建设我们的美丽中国，没有虚浮，只有执着，只有奋斗，只有勇于担当。这就是我的中国梦！ that is my speech,thanks everyone.我的演讲就到这里，谢谢大家。we are the world ,we are
31、 the future 世界是我们的，未来是我们的 someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book,whose pages are infinite”. i dont know who wrote these words, but ive always likedthem as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. we are all inthe position of the farmers. if we
32、 plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. if weplant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. 一些人说我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。we are young. “how to spend the youth” it is a meaningful question. to answer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the w
33、ordyouth” youth is not a time of life, its a state of mind. its not a matter of rosycheeks, red lips or supple knees. its the matter of the will. its the freshnessof the deep spring of life.我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差，有很多草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。 youth means a temperamental predominan
34、ce of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often existsin a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years .we grow old by deserting our ideals. years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasmwrinkles the soul . worry ,
35、fear , self distrust bows the heart and turns the spiritback to dust .我们是年轻的。怎样度过青春这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它，我首先要问从青春这个词中你能理解到什么 青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志， 。青春是生命的深泉在涌流.whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being s heart the lure of wonders,the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next
36、 and the joy of the game of living .in the center of your heart and my heart theres a wireless station : so long as itreceives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from theinfinite, so long as you are young . a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in

38、fe.what about yours i wondered whether we could see our future in this way. well, letsmake a fist. where is our future where is our love, career, and life tell ,it is in our hands. it is held in ourselves.一位诗人说从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那里收藏。几天前，我有了一个听讲座的机会，从中我学到了很多东西。现在，我想把这些与大家共享。让我们伸出右手，我们可以看
39、到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。我在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。好的，让我们一起握拳。我们的未来在哪儿我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿告诉我!是的，它们就在我们的手中。它们被我们自己掌握着。篇二：你不必沉迷英语 TED 演讲稿I know what youre thinking.

I have been living and teachin
41、g in the Gulf for over 30 years. (Applause) And in that time, I have seen a lot of changes. Now that statistic is quite shocking. And I want to talk to you today about language loss and the globalization of English. I want to tell you about my friend who was teaching English to adults in Abu Dhabi.
42、And one fine day, she decided to take them into the garden to teach them some nature vocabulary. But it was she who ended up learning all the Arabic words for the local plants, as well as their uses - medicinal uses, cosmetics, cooking, herbal. How did those students get all that knowledge Of course
43、, from their grandparents and even their great-grandparents. Its not necessary to tell you how important it is to be able to communicate across generations.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
