【正文】 這一切所表明的，正是在一個個的故事面前，我們是何等的脆弱，何等的易受影響，尤其當(dāng)我們還是孩子的。時隔多年，我一直都懷揣著一個深切的渴望，想嘗嘗姜汁啤酒的味道。我故事里的人物們也常喝姜汁啤酒，因?yàn)槲宜x的那些英國書中的人物們常喝姜汁啤酒。我一直寫著這樣故事，雖然說我當(dāng)時住在尼日利亞，并且從來沒有出過國。常在雪中嬉戲，吃著蘋果。所以我從小就開始讀書，讀的是英國和美國的兒童書籍。我母親常說我從兩歲起就開始讀書。一些關(guān)于所謂的“單一故事的危險性”的經(jīng)歷。篇四：ted演講稿我是個說書之人。that result demolishes print and speech, both of which were tested on the same group of subjects, medinas study indicated, which is something worth bearing in mind for anybody hoping that his or her ideas will be ，這個結(jié)果“完勝”印刷品和演講的記憶效果（由同一組受試者測試）。而添加一張照片或圖片后，記憶率將躍升至65%。the remedy for that, based on the most riveting ted talks: if you must use slides, fill them with a lot more again, research backs this up, with something academics call the picture superiority effect: three days after hearing or reading a set of facts, most people will remember about 10% of the a photo or a drawing, and recall jumps to 65%.最吸引人的ted演講為我們提供了一個補(bǔ)救策略：如果你必須使用幻燈片，務(wù)必記得要大量運(yùn)用圖像資源?！皌ed大會象征著我們所知的ppt文檔正走向終結(jié)，”加洛寫道。他還指出，即使一篇演講無法提煉到這樣的程度，單是這番努力也一定能改善演講的效果：“僅僅通過這番提煉，你就可以大大增強(qiáng)陳述的創(chuàng)造性和影響力。具體說就是，把大量觀點(diǎn)高度濃縮為三大要點(diǎn)。更糟糕的是，他們不會記得你努力希望傳遞的信息點(diǎn)，甚至可能一個都記不住。recent neuroscience shows why the time limit works so well: people listening to a presentation are storing data for retrieval in the future, and too much information leads to cognitive overload, which gives rise to elevated levels of anxietymeaning that, if you go on and on, your audience will start to resist worse, they wont recall a single point you were trying to ：聆聽陳述的人們往往會存儲相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)，以備未來檢索之用，而太多的信息會導(dǎo)致“認(rèn)知超負(fù)荷”，進(jìn)而推升聽眾的焦慮度。通過迫使那些習(xí)慣于滔滔不絕講上45分鐘的嘉賓把演講時間壓縮至18分鐘，你就可以讓他們認(rèn)真思考他們真正想說的話，”他對加洛說。聽起來太過短暫，似乎無法傳達(dá)足夠多訊息。much of what he found out is , for instance, the fact that each ted talk is limited to 18 might sound too short to convey ted curator chris anderson imposed the time limit, he told gallo, because its long enough to be serious and short enough to hold peoples attention...by forcing speakers who are used to going on for 45 minutes to bring it down to 18, you get them to think about what they really want to also the perfect length if you want your message to go viral, anderson 。出版方有意安排在今年3月份發(fā)行此書，以慶賀如今已成為經(jīng)典的ted大會成立30周年。如果演講者使用了ppt文檔，那么每張幻燈片很可能塞入了至少40個單詞或數(shù)字，但你現(xiàn)在或許只記得一丁點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。this isi dont know if you saw it on n recentlythey gave the heroes award to a young kenyan shepherd boy who couldnt study at night in his village like all the village children,篇三：世上最好的演講：ted演講吸引人的秘密 why ted talks are better than the last speech you sat through 世上最好的演講：ted演講吸引人的秘密 think about the last time you heard someone give a speech, or any formal it was so long that you were either overwhelmed with data, or you just tuned the speaker powerpoint was involved, each slide was probably loaded with at least 40 words or figures, and odds are that you dont remember more than a tiny bit of what they were supposed to 。這告訴我們，當(dāng)外籍學(xué)生來找我們，我們可能無法針對他們所知道的給予贊賞，因?yàn)槟鞘莵碜杂谒麄兡刚Z的知識。那是所阿拉伯中學(xué)。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(dá)成目的，也學(xué)到更多。所以，叮！問題解決了。他發(fā)現(xiàn)在英文里前肢和后肢是不同的二個字，但在遺傳學(xué)上沒有區(qū)別。但他們無法得到他們想要的結(jié)果。就像我之前說的，這是一種循環(huán)。為了達(dá)成這目的，他們需要西方教育。it brings to mind a headline i saw recently: education: the great i get it, i understand why people would focus on want to give their children the best chance in to do that, they need a western , of course, the best jobs go to people out of the western universities, that i put on a circular ：“教育：大鴻溝”現(xiàn)在我懂了。但是對數(shù)百萬的窮人來說，這些費(fèi)用高不可攀?，F(xiàn)在英語測驗(yàn)太泛濫了，有太多太多的英語測驗(yàn)，以及成千上萬的學(xué)生每年都在參加這些考試。順便說一下，他在學(xué)校還曾被認(rèn)為需要課外補(bǔ)習(xí)，因?yàn)樗鋵?shí)有閱讀障礙。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 in point, , by the way, was considered remedial at school because he was, in fact, fortunately for the world, he did not have to pass an english they didnt start until 1964 with toefl, the american test of its are lots and lots of tests of millions and millions of students take these tests every you might think, you and me, those fees arent bad, theyre okay, but they are prohibitive to so many millions of poor immediately, were rejecting ，扶持當(dāng)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。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。我很高興我們有一個全球性的語言，這在今日尤為重要。于是文明照亮了歐洲的黑暗時代。有英語要求，自然就有英語供給，然后就這么循環(huán)下去。i am not against teaching english, all you english teachers out love it that we have a global need one today more than i am against using it as a we really want to end up with 600 languages and the main one being english, or chinese? we need more than do we draw the line? this system equates intelligence with a knowledge of english which is ，我聽到你們問但是研究呢?研究報告都要用英文。把太多的權(quán)力交由這么小的一群人把持，也許會令這種障礙太過普及。你必須先讓我們滿意，使我們認(rèn)定你的英文夠好。但事實(shí)上，我們的確在做這種事。我們處處設(shè)限，將學(xué)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。now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability well, i dont think english teachers reject them all the put a stop sign, and we stop them in their cant pursue their dream any longer, till they get 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 indeed, that is exactly what we english teachers are the you have to satisfy us first that your english is good it can be dangerous to give too much power to a narrow segment of the barrier would be too ？譬如如果你碰到一位天才計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)家，但他會需要有和律師一樣的語言能力嗎？我不這么認(rèn)為。何樂而不為呢？畢竟，最好的教育來自于最好的大學(xué)，而根據(jù)最新的世界大學(xué)排名，那些名列前茅的都是英國和美國的大學(xué)。英語不再是學(xué)校課程里的外語學(xué)科，也不再只是英國的專利。當(dāng)然，英國也能得到些好處，產(chǎn)油國可是很有錢的。我們是第一批非穆斯林的老師，在科威特的國立學(xué)校任教。其實(shí)，沒有那么久啦，這有點(diǎn)太久以前了。初次來到海灣地區(qū)時，我去了科威特。這其中有關(guān)聯(lián)嗎？我不知道。but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented language dies every 14 , at the same time, english is the undisputed global there be a connection? well i dont i do know that ive seen a lot of i first came out to the gulf, i came to kuwait in the days when it was still a hardship , not that long is a little bit too nevertheless, i was recruited by the british council along with about 25 other we were the first nonmuslims to teach in the state schools there in were brought to teach english because the government wanted to modernize the country and empower the citizens through of course, the from some of that lovely oil ，今天很多語言正在以前
