My dearest family and friends,
It is difficult to express my gratitude and love to you all. I want to say so much, but I can hardly find the words. So I’ll just say that you are the greatest blessing in my life. This evening is the expression of your love to me, I realize this, but also it is the event when I see all of you gathered in the same place.
Thank you! Thank you for being with me all that difficult time. Your support and understanding gave me the strength to continue fighting. Without you I would give up. But then you would come or call and I would remember why I am so in love with this wonderful life-because of you. You are my world, and I am sincerely grateful to God for giving me such loving family and caring friends. Your support was crucial for me this year, when I achieved much due to your help.
Love and gratitude-this is what I feel standing now in front of you. Love and gratitude-these are the best emotions one can imagine. I am happy to love you and to be grateful to you. I know that you love me too. I would like to assure you that my goal in life is to become as wonderful as you think I am. As far as this goal attainment requires much effort, skills and time, I hope that you’ll help me in it, as always, I deeply appreciate your support. Thank you for being with me.
Thank you very much!

我最亲爱的家人和朋友,
这是很难表达我的感激之情,并对你们所有人的爱。我想说的那么多,但我几乎找不到的话。所以我只说你是我生命中最伟大的祝福。今天晚上是你对我的爱的表达,我意识到这一点,但也正是当我看到你们所有人聚集在同一个地方的时候。
谢谢您!感谢你和我在一起的一切困难的时刻。你的支持和理解给了我继续战斗的力量。没有你我会放弃。但你会来或打电话,我会记得为什么我这么爱这个美好的生� 你是我的世界,我真诚地感谢上帝给予我这样的爱的家庭和关怀的朋友。你的支持对我来说是至关重要的,今年,当我取得了很大的由于你的帮助。
爱和感激这是我现在的感觉站在你面前。爱和感恩是一个人所能想象的最好的情感。我很高兴爱你,并感谢你。我知道你也爱我。我向你保证,我的人生目标是变得像你想象的那样精彩。就这一目标的实现需要很多的努力、技能和时间,我希望你能在它的帮助下,一如既往,我深深感谢你的支持。谢谢你和我在一起。
非常感谢你!
I encourage you to look up the scene on YouTube – but not right now – because it’s still a very funny piece. And it’s funny because it’s ridiculous, but also because it contains a kernel of truth. And the truth applies not only to college presidents, but to all of us. How many times have we decided we’re against an idea before we’ve even heard it? How guilty are we of deciding “I’m against it” without even knowing what “it” is?
Many times, we know what we’re against based on who is saying it. If an idea comes from a certain public figure, politician, or media outlet, we already know how we feel. Partly this is because our public discourse has become so predictable. We’ve lost the capacity for surprise, for revelation. Speaking of predictable, here is the moment where an ambassador of an older generation – that would be me – tells millennials – most of you – about the evils of social media! But hear me out…
Obviously, social media has transformed our lives and our relationships. It obviously has many advantages, allowing us to share news and information quickly with people around the world. But it also heightens our sense of outrage and speeds up arguments, depriving us of the time and space for careful reflection. Bombarded with notifications, pressured to respond before the media cycle turns over, we tap out our position – our opposition – in seconds. It’s easy to be against something in fewer than 280 characters. It’s far more difficult to articulate what you are for – and to do it at warp speed.
我选择在网络声中被倒下就在网络声中爬起来,当你被骂得小有名气的时候我就暗自思量,反正也是挨骂,不如用最积极的方式迎接骂声。2016年3月3日,我在微博上面发出了一条名为"爱的骂骂"的微博,只要在我这条微博下面留言的,,不管是鼓励我的,骂我的,还是随便说说的,我都捐五毛,24个小时,有十万多条留言,捐款金额是50693.5元,作为北京一家残疾孤儿康复机构的手术费,在这里我要对每一位留言的人表示感谢。
在现实生活中顽强活着的残疾孤儿,其中有一个孩子在手术后的一年,终于有机会可以站起来了,当我看到她第一次站起,我很感动,也很骄傲,这个"黑姑娘"干了一件痛快的事。是的,我说出了金额,我知道一定会有人说,"捐那么少还好意思报数"我相信现在大部分人都不愿意公布捐款金额,因为捐款已经不再是一件随心的行为,而是成为大家根据金额的多少来衡量爱心的大小。
我相信在座的的各位,也一定有过朋友之间随份子,该给多少才合适的烦恼,我之所以说出来,不仅仅是因为,我觉得随心的行为需要躲闪,更因为"爱的骂骂"是每一个留言的镜子。当时骂过我的人,也许在两年后的今天听到我说这番话,会想起曾经不太善意的留言,却给了这些孩子们有机会获得新生,这同样值得高兴,其实我们每个人都有不同阶段的新生,不是吗?"爱的骂骂"发出那一刻,我如重生般释然了,虽然,我不像很多演员那样,拥有令人赞叹的表演才华,自己也觉得不是天生吃这碗饭的,但是既然选择了演员这份职业,我相信只要通过自己的努力和善待他人,就可以让自己的家人和自己过上幸福美满的生活,然而这一切,在2016年的夏天,被一句开创演艺界网络暴力先河的"滚出娱乐圈"所动摇,我是第一个被放在主语位置的人,袁姗姗,这个名字好像从此和"一无是处"划上了等号,那个时候不管说什么、做什么、演什么都不对。更有媒体总结了"袁姗姗不被观众所喜欢的五大理由"第一条理由是"没有理由"这是得有多深厚的感情基础,才能达到的境界。
2016年确实挺让人操心的,从春天到夏天,都没有平静过,一开始我也有些懊恼,不知道到底发生了什么,我既没有不劳而获,也没有做伤天害理的事,为什么让我"滚"?没多久,我想明白一个道理,谁都可以说我不好,但是自己必须接纳那个心安理得的自己,既然我的演艺生涯要从倒数开始,那我之后的每一点进步都是充满喜悦,从零分到六十分比从满分到六十分,哪个更让人开心呢?
也是从那个时候,我重拾扔下了多年的小提琴,还有健身,运动让我心情愉快,不工作的时候练琴和健身会让我的每一天都过得很充实,根本没有过多的时间停留在网上,更顾不上网友的围观。
我建议那些沉迷于网络的年轻人,每天可以挤出一点时间锻炼身体,当有朝一日被他人欺负的时候,至少可以像我一样,身轻如燕,自由翻滚,作为过去也许将来还会遭遇网络暴力的过来人,我不喜欢再有
特别感谢在那段特殊时间陪伴,我的家人和朋友,感谢他们承受住了一个当时还没有来得及减肥,各方面份量都很重的我,经历了这些,并不是想说明自己有多强大,但确实因为这些切身经历让我有了足够的时间去思考,我曾经问过自己一个问题,如果我当时真的不堪重负放弃了演员这个职业,是否网络暴力就会消失,答案当然不会,既然还是要面对,就应该积极地面对。
前不久,我参与了一部公益电影的拍摄,电影传递了一个非常积极的理念:每个人都有自由选择的机会和权利,无论你生下来是幸福的还是不幸的,我非常赞同,所以我选择做一个积极快乐的自己,不再受控于网络暴力中,不再只能看到消极的一面,都说做公益是在帮助他人,在我身上成全了一个更加快乐的自己,电影的名字叫《有一天》我想在这里特别推荐一下,虽然我只参演了电影的一部分,但也给我带来很多启发和感动,这部电影关注了九类特殊儿童群体,我参与拍摄的故事和聋哑儿童有关,跟我一起搭档演出的也是一名聋哑儿童,拍摄之前,我还有些顾虑,我不知道该怎么去跟他交流,我担心因为自己不小心的举动伤害到他,但是见面之后,我才发现成年人的世界真的是,因为想太多而变得复杂,只要我们保持一颗平常的心,用平等的方式去交流,就不会存在特别的障碍,重要的是你怎么看,而不是他怎么想,拍摄的那几天,我平静而快乐,每当完成一个镜头,这个小少年都会跟我竖起大拇指示意,他这个小小的举动也提醒了我和我们,有人选择赞美,有人则不!
感谢"爱的骂骂"感谢《有一天》感谢喝倒彩时刻提醒我的人,感谢一直鼓励我的家人和朋友,我希望能有更多的人
可以像我一样,主动地从逆境中走出来,这个世界还有很多需要我们关心的事去做,需要我们关心的人去爱,保持自己的真实,倔强地活下去。
I choose in network sound by the fall on the climb up the network sound, when you get it a little famous I thought, it is better to meet with scolded, condemning the most positive way. In March 3, 2016, I issued a "love mama" micro-blog on micro-blog, as long as in my micro-blog comments below, and whether it is encouraging me, scold me, or casual, I donated 50 Fen, 24 hours, more than 100 thousand message, the donation amount is 50693.5 yuan, as a Beijing disabled orphans surgery rehabilitation institutions, here I want to every message thank you.
In real life, live strong disabled orphans, one child in a year after operation, finally have the opportunity to stand up, when I saw her for the first time to stand up, I was very moved, very proud of this "black girl" did a good thing. Yes, I say the amount I know some people will say, "donate so little Weasley off" I believe now that most people are not willing to publish the donation amount, because the donation is no longer a heart of behavior, but we become according to the amount to measure how much the size of love.
I believe all of you, there must have been friends with the elements, how much is appropriate trouble, I say, not just because I feel heart behavior need to dodge, but also because "love mama is a mirror of the message. When scolded me, maybe two years later to hear me say these words, will remember not too good message, gave the children a chance, this is happy, in fact, we each have a different stage of the new, not love mama? From that moment, I like reborn as relieved, though, I like a lot of actors that have admirable acting talent, feel not born to eat a bowl of rice, but since the choice of the actors of this occupation, I believe that through their own efforts and be kind to others, you can make your own family. And they live a happy life, but all of this, in the summer of 2016, was a pioneering shake showbiz network violence first get out of entertainment, I was the first one to be placed in the subject position of people, Yuan Shanshan, this name seems to be from "Nothing is right." sign, at that time no matter what to say, what to do, what's wrong. More media summed up the Yuan Shanshan is not the audience like the five reasons, the first reason is that there is no reason, this is a more profound emotional foundation, in order to achieve the realm.
2016 is really a worry, from spring to summer, are not calm, I also started a little vexed, don't know what happened, I have neither something for nothing, nor do wicked things, why let me roll? Not long, I want to understand a truth, who can say I'm not good, but he must accept that comfort myself, since my career is going to start from the bottom, every bit of progress that I later are full of joy, from zero to sixty from out to sixty points, which make people happy?
From that time, I regain dropped years of violin, and fitness, exercise makes me feel good, and practicing fitness will let me every day to the fullest when not working, there is not too much time on the Internet, no more friends in the crowd.
I suggest young people who are addicted to the Internet, every day can squeeze a little time to exercise, when some day in the future is bullied, at least you can like me, shenqingruyan, free rolling, as past, perhaps the future will encounter the network violence over, I don't love hurt because the network violence again, please use let the other person worthy of language.
Special thanks to the company at that period of time, my family and friends, thank them to withstand a time yet to lose weight, the weight is very heavy for me, these experiences, and not to show how powerful you are, but because these experiences let me have enough time to think and I asked you a question, if I was really overwhelmed abandoned actor in this occupation, whether the network violence will disappear, of course not, since still have to face, should actively face.
Not long ago, I participated in a charity film, the film has a very positive philosophy: everyone has the freedom to choose the right and opportunity, whether it is happy or not you born, I agree very much, so I choose to be a positive and happy self, no longer controlled by the network of violence, not only see the negative side, say to do charity is to help other people, in my body into a more happy, the name of the movie called "one day" here I would like to recommend a special, although I only made a part of the film, but also to I brought a lot of inspiration and moved, the film focused on nine classes of special groups of children, I participated in the filming of the story and deaf children, together with my partner before the show is also a deaf children, shooting, I still have some Worry, I do not know how to communicate with him, I am worried because you accidentally move to hurt him, but after the meeting, I found that the adult world is really too much, because I want to become more complex, as long as we keep a normal heart, with equal way to communicate, do not there are particular obstacles, it is important how you see, rather than what he thinks, that a few days of shooting, I am calm and happy, whenever a lens, the boy will tell me the thumbs up sign, he this small action also remind me and us, some people choose to have praise. People are not!
Thank you love mama for "one day" to remind me of the boos, thank you always encourage my family and friends, I hope to have more people
Can be like me, take the initiative to come out from the face of adversity, the world there are many things we need to do to do, we need to care about people to love, to maintain their true, stubborn to live.
Life without friends and enrich my life, like a beacon lit up my heart. Is a friend helped me when I meet with difficulties, when I encountered setbacks are friends encouraged me. She and I help each other, make progress together. Although I can't say she changed everything to me, but in the process of getting along with her, I get rid of many shortcomings, changed.
The first time I met her was in fourth grade the second half of the semester, she looks mediocre, is not so attractive, is not a pair of small eyes under the thick eyebrows, but it is god, the bridge of the nose is not high. She generous introduced herself, the teacher to arrange seat for her.
The class was over, her seat was crowded with people, everybody asked her name, from where and so on, she replied: "I live right saltworks now." I whispered: "I also live in there." All of a sudden, she turned around and said to me: "when you live in there? Can you go with me? Tell the truth the road in the cement field is terrible, I hope you can go with me." I stood there, her generous and active let I was shocked. "What's wrong? Don't want to?" She is not too big eyes looked at me. I return to absolute being, said: "no, I'd love to!" Later, we will together to and from school. In the process, I know her name is candy, before go to school in altay, performance remains one of the best! She told me in her naturally there living environment. I also listened with interest.

In 20_ — not so long ago — a professor who was then at Columbia University took that case and made it [Howard] Roizen. And he gave the case out, both of them, to two groups of students. He changed exactly one word: "Heidi" to "Howard." But that one word made a really big difference. He then surveyed the students, and the good news was the students, both men and women, thought Heidi and Howard were equally competent, and that's good.The bad news was that everyone liked Howard. He's a great guy. You want to work for him. You want to spend the day fishing with him. But Heidi? Not so sure. She's a little out for herself. She's a little political.You're not sure you'd want to work for her. This is the complication. We have to tell our daughters and our colleagues, we have to tell ourselves to believe we got the A, to reach for the promotion, to sit at the table, and we have to do it in a world where, for them, there are sacrifices they will make for that, even though for their brothers, there are not. The saddest thing about all of this is that it's really hard to remember this. And I'm about to tell a story which is truly embarrassing for me, but I think important.
瞧,她笑的多开心呀,两只眼睛成了弯弯的月亮,微微的翘起的小鼻子向上耸起,红红的小嘴随着咯咯的笑声一张一合的,就连那两只小羊角辫也在抖动着。你知道她是谁吗?告诉你,那就是我。
我个儿不高,大约1米1左右。我有很多特点,最大的特点就是喜欢动物。
初冬,我在街上花钱买了两只小鸡,一只乳白色,一只橘黄色。买了它们满以为妈妈也会像我一样高兴,可一进门,妈妈就不高兴的说:“你怎么把这小东西买回来啦?他会冻死的。”我不以为然,我决心要把它们养活。我先把它们放在地上,又拿来小米喂它们,可它们只是叽叽叽地叫,不肯吃。妈妈走过来说:“天气冷,它们冻得顾不上吃了。”我仔细一看,果然,它们冻得直发抖。于是,我把它们放在手心上,它们才叽叽叽地吃起来。晚上,我在桌前写作业,小鸡在旁边并不吃我给它们的小米,总是叽叽叽地叫。每办法,只好把它们放在我的棉衣里,它们才不叫了。我安心地写完作业,把它们拿出来,它们又开始叫了,我只好跟它们“同床共枕”。
总算熬到开暖气的那一天了,房间变暖了,小鸡的羽毛也长了。晚上,我把它们放在盒子里,怕它们跑了,就在上面又蒙上了一层布。结果第二天,小鸡闷死了。我伤心的哭了,并且一连好几天都很伤心。
我曾经被赵忠祥伯伯主持的《动物世界》所感动,希望自己长大以后,为保护动物做宣传。我也曾被那些铺杀动物的不法分子所激怒,为那些无辜被害的动物流泪。有一次,我在电视上看到公安局抓获一批走私动物皮的犯罪分子,既高兴,又伤心,伤心的是有那么多的动物被他们残忍的杀害了,高兴的是公安局的叔叔终于把那一伙惨无人道的走私分之抓获了,侥幸生存的一批动物可以得到保护了。
这就是我,一个喜欢动物,爱护动物的小女孩。
这青山灼灼,星光熠熠,秋风淅淅,晚风慢慢,也抵不过我家仙女的一泯一笑。
我的母亲,时常让我怀疑她是不是下凡拯救我和爸爸于水火之中的仙女。
比如:我的袜子找不到了,她就像知晓天下事物一样,从床底拉出“调皮”的袜子,让我暖暖和和的去上学。
爸爸,“哎呀”一声,她便习以为常的将公文包递给爸爸,爸爸呢,就会说:“女神大人威武,在下佩服佩服。”这番话逗的妈妈咯咯直笑。这是吧?是仙女吧?
记得有一次,天空中下了倾盆大雨。我在雨中急切的寻找着那抹身影,突然,那抹熟悉的身影显现在我眼前,也烙在我心里。
“妈妈这儿,这儿,这儿……”妈妈兴许是瞧见了雨中雀跃的我,我看见她眼角慢慢的扬起,嘟嚷着:“这孩子,皮的很。”
妈妈的伞下,好温暖,好温暖,不经意间。撇见了她肩上被雨淋湿的一片。于是我提醒她说:“妈,伞偏了。”妈妈柔声一笑:“没有啊。”
如今的我,比她高出些许。那是一个雨天,我举着一把伞,揽着妈妈的肩头。她提醒我说:“宝儿, 伞偏了。”“没有啊。”我模仿着她曾经的语气。揽着肩头的手用力了几分。为什么?因为搂着的是仙女呀。
时间像一匹野马,肆无惮忌地奔驰在岁月的草原上,让我摸不到追不上。时光啊!你慢些吧!我怕我来不及伴着母亲变老,来不及感受这世间最纯粹的爱。
时光啊!你慢些吧!多想能有一样东西。能拭去母亲鬓间的白发,能抚平她脸上的皱纹。好想好想……
你眼间带笑,眉间带柔,是我爱的模样。
one day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of chile, in one of the mostremote regions of the pacific ocean, 20 american sailors watched their shipflood with seawater.
1819年的某一天, 在距离智利海岸3000英里的地方, 有一个太平洋上的最偏远的水域, 20名美国船员目睹了他们的船只进水的场面。
they'd been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic holein the ship's hull. as their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the menhuddled together in three small whaleboats.
他们和一头抹香鲸相撞,给船体撞了 一个毁灭性的大洞。 当船在巨浪中开始沉没时, 人们在三条救生小艇中抱作一团。
these men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from thenearest scrap of land. in their small boats, they carried only rudimentarynavigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.
这些人在离家10000万英里的地方, 离最近的陆地也超过1000英里。 在他们的小艇中,他们只带了 落后的导航设备 和有限的食物和饮水。
these were the men of the whaleship esse_, whose story would later inspireparts of "moby dick."
他们就是捕鲸船esse_上的人们, 后来的他们的故事成为《白鲸记》的一部分。
even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but thinkabout how much worse it would have been then.
即使在当今的世界,碰上这种情况也够杯具的,更不用说在当时的情况有多糟糕。
no one on land had any idea that anything had gone wrong. no search partywas coming to look for these men. so most of us have never e_perienced asituation as frightening as the one in which these sailors found themselves, butwe all know what it's like to be afraid.
岸上的人根本就还没意识到出了什么问题。 没有任何人来搜寻他们。 我们当中大部分人没有经历过 这些船员所处的可怕情景,但我们都知道害怕是什么感觉。
we know how fear feels, but i'm not sure we spend enough time thinkingabout what our fears mean.
我们知道恐惧的感觉, 但是我不能肯定我们会花很多时间想过 我们的恐惧到底意味着什么。
as we grow up, we're often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, justanother childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.
我们长大以后,我们总是会被鼓励把恐惧 视为软弱,需要像乳牙或轮滑鞋一样 扔掉的幼稚的东西。
and i think it's no accident that we think this way. neuroscientists haveactually shown that human beings are hard-wired to be optimists.
我想意外事故并非我们所想的那样。 神经系统科学家已经知道人类 生来就是乐观主义者。
so maybe that's why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and ofitself. "don't worry," we like to say to one another. "don't panic." in english,fear is something we conquer. it's something we fight.
这也许就是为什么我 “不要愁。”我们总是对别人说。“不要慌”。 英语中,恐惧是我们需要征服的东西。是我们必须对抗的东西,是我们必须克服的东西。
it's something we overcome. but what if we looked at fear in a fresh way?what if we thought of fear as an amazing act of the imagination, something thatcan be as profound and insightful as storytelling itself?
但是我们如果换个视角看恐惧会如何呢? 如果我们把恐惧当做是想象力的一个惊人成果, 是和我们讲故事一样 精妙而有见地的东西,又会如何呢?
it's easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in youngchildren, whose fears are often e_traordinarily vivid.
在小孩子当中,我们最容易看到恐惧与想象之间的联系, 他们的恐惧经常是超级生动的。
when i was a child, i lived in california, which is, you know, mostly avery nice place to live, but for me as a child, california could also be alittle scary.
我小时候住在加利福尼亚, 你们都知道,是非常适合居住的位置, 但是对一个小孩来说,加利福尼亚也会有点吓人。
i remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above ourdining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and i sometimescouldn't sleep at night, terrified that the big one might strike while we weresleeping.
我记得每次小地震的时候 当我看到我们餐桌上的吊灯 晃来晃去的时候是多么的吓人, 我经常会彻夜难眠,担心大地震 会在我们睡觉的时候突然袭来。
and what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have avivid imagination. but at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kindsof visions behind and grow up.
我们说小孩子感受到这种恐惧 是因为他们有生动的想象力。 但是在某个时候,我们大多数学会了 抛弃这种想法而变得成熟。
we learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not everyearthquake brings buildings down. but maybe it's no coincidence that some of ourmost creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.
我们都知道床下没有魔鬼, 也不是每个地震都会震垮房子。但是我们当中最有想象力的人们 并没有因为成年而抛弃这种恐惧,这也许并不是巧合。
the same incredible imaginations that produced "the origin of species,""jane eyre" and "the remembrance of things past," also generated intense worriesthat haunted the adult lives of charles darwin, charlotte bront and marcelproust. so the question is, what can the rest of us learn about fear fromvisionaries and young children?
同样不可思议的想象力创造了《物种起源》, 《简·爱》和《追忆似水年华》, 也就是这种与生俱来的深深的担忧一直缠绕着成年的 查尔斯·达尔文,夏洛特·勃朗特和马塞尔·普罗斯特。 问题就来了, 我们其他人如何能从这些 梦想家和小孩子身上学会恐惧?
well let's return to the year 1819 for a moment, to the situation facingthe crew of the whaleship esse_. let's take a look at the fears that theirimaginations were generating as they drifted in the middle of the pacific.
让我们暂时回到1819年, 回到esse_捕鲸船的水手们面对的情况。 让我们看看他们漂流在太平洋中央时 他们的想象力给他们带来的恐惧感觉。
twenty-four hours had now passed since the capsizing of the ship. the timehad come for the men to make a plan, but they had very few options.
船倾覆后已经过了24个小时。 这时人们制定了一个计划, 但是其实他们没什么太多的选择。
in his fascinating account of the disaster, nathaniel philbrick wrote thatthese men were just about as far from land as it was possible to be anywhere onearth.
在纳撒尼尔·菲尔布里克(nathaniel philbrick)描述这场灾难的 动人文章中,他写到“这些人离陆地如此之远,似乎永远都不可能到达地球上的任何一块陆地。”
the men knew that the nearest islands they could reach were the marquesasislands, 1,200 miles away. but they'd heard some frightening rumors.
这些人知道离他们最近的岛 是1200英里以外的马克萨斯群岛(marquesas islands)。 但是他们听到了让人恐怖的谣言。
they'd been told that these islands, and several others nearby, werepopulated by cannibals. so the men pictured coming ashore only to be murderedand eaten for dinner. another possible destination was hawaii, but given theseason, the captain was afraid they'd be struck by severe storms.
他们听说这些群岛, 以及附近的一些岛屿上都住着食人族。 所以他们脑中都是上岸以后就会被杀掉 被人当做盘中餐的画面。 另一个可行的目的地是夏威夷,但是船长担心 他们会被困在风暴当中。
now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500miles due south in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that couldeventually push them toward the coast of south america.
所以最后的选择是到最远,也是最艰险的地方: 往南走1500英里希望某股风 能最终把他们 吹到南美洲的海岸。
but they knew that the sheer length of this journey would stretch theirsupplies of food and water. to be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms,to starve to death before reaching land.
但是他们知道这个行程中一旦偏航 将会耗尽他们食物和饮水的供给。 被食人族吃掉,被风暴掀翻, 在登陆前饿死。
these were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men, andas it turned out, the fear they chose to listen to would govern whether theylived or died.
这就是萦绕在这群可怜的人想象中的恐惧, 事实证明,他们选择听从的恐惧 将决定他们的生死。
now we might just as easily call these fears by a different name. what ifinstead of calling them fears, we called them stories?
也许我们可以很容易的用别的名称来称呼这些恐惧。 我们不称之为恐惧, 而是称它们为故事如何?
because that's really what fear is, if you think about it. it's a kind ofunintentional storytelling that we are all born knowing how to do. and fears andstorytelling have the same components.
如果你仔细想想,这是恐惧真正的意义。 这是一种与生俱来的, 无意识的讲故事的能力。 恐惧和讲故事有着同样的构成。
they have the same architecture. like all stories, fears have characters.in our fears, the characters are us. fears also have plots. they have beginningsand middles and ends. you board the plane.
他们有同样的结构。 如同所有的故事,恐惧中有角色。 在恐惧中,角色就是我们自己。 恐惧也有情节。他们有开头,有中间,有结尾。 你登上飞机。
the plane takes off. the engine fails. our fears also tend to containimagery that can be every bit as vivid as what you might find in the pages of anovel. picture a cannibal, human teeth sinking into human skin, human fleshroasting over a fire.
飞机起飞。结果引擎故障。 我们的恐惧会包括各种生动的想象, 不比你看到的任何一个小说逊色。 想象食人族,人类牙齿 咬在人类皮肤上,人肉在火上烤。
fears also have suspense. if i've done my job as a storyteller today, youshould be wondering what happened to the men of the whaleship esse_. our fearsprovoke in us a very similar form of suspense.
恐惧中也有悬念。 如果我今天像讲故事一样,留个悬念不说了, 你们也许会很想知道 esse_捕鲸船上,人们到底怎么样了。我们的恐惧用悬念一样的方式刺激我们。
just like all great stories, our fears focus our attention on a questionthat is as important in life as it is in literature: what will happen ne_t?
就像一个很好的故事,我们的恐惧也如同一部好的文学作品一样, 将我们的注意力集中在对我们生命至关重要的问题上: 后来发生了什么?
in other words, our fears make us think about the future. and humans, bythe way, are the only creatures capable of thinking about the future in thisway, of projecting ourselves forward in time, and this mental time travel isjust one more thing that fears have in common with storytelling.
换而言之,我们的恐惧让我们想到未来。 另外,人来是唯一有能力 通过这种方式想到未来的生物, 就是预测时间推移后我们的状况, 这种精神上的时间旅行是恐惧与讲故事的另一个共同点。
as a writer, i can tell you that a big part of writing fiction is learningto predict how one event in a story will affect all the other events, and fearworks in that same way.
我是一个作家,我要告诉你们写小说一个很重要的部分 就是学会预测故事中一件 事情如何影响另一件事情, 恐惧也是同样这么做的。
in fear, just like in fiction, one thing always leads to another. when iwas writing my first novel, "the age of miracles," i spent months trying tofigure out what would happen if the rotation of the earth suddenly began to slowdown. what would happen to our days?
恐惧中,如同小说一样,一件事情总是导致另一件事情。 我写我的第一部小说《� 我们的一天变得如何?
what would happen to our crops? what would happen to our minds? and then itwas only later that i realized how very similar these questions were to the onesi used to ask myself as a child frightened in the night.
我们身体会怎样? 我们的思想会有什么变化? 也就是在那之后,我意识到 我过去总是问自己的那些些问题 和孩子们在夜里害怕是多么的相像。
if an earthquake strikes tonight, i used to worry, what will happen to ourhouse? what will happen to my family? and the answer to those questions alwaystook the form of a story.
要是在过去,如果今晚发生地震,我会很担心, 我的房子会怎么样啊?家里人会怎样啊? 这类问题的答案通常都会和故事一样。
so if we think of our fears as more than just fears but as stories, weshould think of ourselves as the authors of those stories. but just asimportantly, we need to think of ourselves as the readers of our fears, and howwe choose to read our fears can have a profound effect on our lives.
所以我 但是同样重要的是,我们需要想象我们自己是我们恐惧的解读者,我们选择如何 去解读这些恐惧会对我们的生活产生深远的影响。
now, some of us naturally read our fears more closely than others. i readabout a study recently of successful entrepreneurs, and the author found thatthese people shared a habit that he called "productive paranoia," which meantthat these people, instead of dismissing their fears, these people read themclosely, they studied them, and then they translated that fear into preparationand action.
现在,我们中有些人比其他人更自然的解读自己的恐惧。 最近我看过一个关于成功的企业家的研究, 作者发现这些人都有个习惯 叫做“未雨绸缪“,意思是,这些人,不回避自己的恐惧, 而是认真解读并研究恐惧, 然后把恐惧转换成准备和行动。
so that way, if their worst fears came true, their businesses wereready.
这样,如果最坏的事情发生了, 他们的企业也有所准备。
and sometimes, of course, our worst fears do come true. that's one of thethings that is so e_traordinary about fear. once in a while, our fears canpredict the future.
当然,很多时候,最坏的事情确实发生了。 这是恐惧非凡的一面。 曾几何时,我们的恐惧预测将来。
but we can't possibly prepare for all of the fears that our imaginationsconcoct. so how can we tell the difference between the fears worth listening toand all the others? i think the end of the story of the whaleship esse_ offersan illuminating, if tragic, e_ample.
但是我们不可能为我们想象力构建的所有 恐惧来做准备。 所以,如何区分值得听从的恐惧 和不值得的呢? 我想捕鲸船esse_的故事结局提供了一个有启发性,同时又悲惨的例子。
after much deliberation, the men finally made a decision. terrified ofcannibals, they decided to forgo the closest islands and instead embarked on thelonger and much more difficult route to south america.
经过数次权衡,他们最终做出了决定。 由于害怕食人族,他们决定放弃最近的群岛 而是开始更长 更艰难的南美洲之旅。
after more than two months at sea, the men ran out of food as they knewthey might, and they were still quite far from land. when the last of thesurvivors were finally picked up by two passing ships, less than half of the menwere left alive, and some of them had resorted to their own form ofcannibalism.
在海上呆了两个多月后,他们 的食物如预料之中消耗殆尽, 而且他们仍然离陆地那么远。 当最后的幸存者最终被过往船只救起时, 只有一小半的人还活着,实际上他们中的一些人自己变成了食人族。
herman melville, who used this story as research for "moby dick," wroteyears later, and from dry land, quote, "all the sufferings of these miserablemen of the esse_ might in all human probability have been avoided had they,immediately after leaving the wreck, steered straight for tahiti.
赫尔曼·梅尔维尔(herman melville)将这个故事作为 《白鲸记》的素材,在数年后写到: esse_船上遇难者的悲惨结局或许是可以通过人为的努力避免的, 如果他们当机立断地离开沉船, 直奔塔西提群岛。
but," as melville put it, "they dreaded cannibals." so the question is, whydid these men dread cannibals so much more than the e_treme likelihood ofstarvation?
“但是”,梅尔维尔说道:“他们害怕食人族” 问题是,为什么这些人对于食人族的恐惧 超过了更有可能的饥饿威胁呢?
why were they swayed by one story so much more than the other? looked atfrom this angle, theirs becomes a story about reading. the novelist vladimirnabokov said that the best reader has a combination of two very differenttemperaments, the artistic and the scientific.
为什么他们会被一个故事 影响如此之大呢? 从另一个角度来看, 这是一个关于解读的故事。 小说家弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫(vladimirnabokov)说 最好的读者能把两种截然不同的性格结合起来, 一个是艺术气质,一个是科学精神。
a good reader has an artist's passion, a willingness to get caught up inthe story, but just as importantly, the readers also needs the coolness ofjudgment of a scientist, which acts to temper and complicate the reader'sintuitive reactions to the story. as we've seen, the men of the esse_ had notrouble with the artistic part.
好的读者有艺术家的热情, 愿意融入故事当中, 但是同样重要的是,这些读者还要 有科学家的冷静判断, 这能帮助他们稳定情绪并分析 其对故事的直觉反应。我们可以看出来,esse_上的人在艺术部分一点问题都没有。
they dreamed up a variety of horrifying scenarios. the problem was thatthey listened to the wrong story. of all the narratives their fears wrote, theyresponded only to the most lurid, the most vivid, the one that was easiest fortheir imaginations to picture: cannibals.
他们梦想到一系列恐怖的场景。 问题在于他们听从了一个错误的故事。 所有他们恐惧中 他们只对其中最耸人听闻,最生动的故事,也是他们想象中最早出现的场景: 食人族。
but perhaps if they'd been able to read their fears more like a scientist,with more coolness of judgment, they would have listened instead to the lessviolent but the more likely tale, the story of starvation, and headed fortahiti, just as melville's sad commentary suggests.
也许,如果他们能像科学家那样 稍微冷静一点解读这个故事, 如果他们能听从不太惊悚但是更可能发生的 半路饿死的故事,他们可能就会直奔塔西提群岛,如梅尔维尔充满惋惜的评论所建议的那样。
and maybe if we all tried to read our fears, we too would be less oftenswayed by the most salacious among them.
也许如果我们都试着解读自己的恐惧, 我们就能少被 其中的一些幻象所迷惑。
maybe then we'd spend less time worrying about serial killers and planecrashes, and more time concerned with the subtler and slower disasters we face:the silent buildup of plaque in our arteries, the gradual changes in ourclimate.
我们也就能少花一点时间在 为系列杀手或者飞机失事方面的担忧, 而是更多的关心那些悄然而至 的灾难: 动脉血小板的逐渐堆积, 气候的逐渐变迁。
just as the most nuanced stories in literature are often the richest, sotoo might our subtlest fears be the truest. read in the right way, our fears arean amazing gift of the imagination, a kind of everyday clairvoyance, a way ofglimpsing what might be the future when there's still time to influence how thatfuture will play out.
如同文学中最精妙的故事通常是最丰富的故事, 我们最细微的恐惧才是最真实的恐惧。 用正确的方法的解读,我们的恐惧就是我们想象力赐给我们的礼物,借此一双慧眼, 让我们能管窥未来 甚至影响未来。
properly read, our fears can offer us something as precious as our favoriteworks of literature: a little wisdom, a bit of insight and a version of thatmost elusive thing -- the truth. thank you.
如果能得到正确的解读,我们的恐惧能 和我们最喜欢的文学作品一样给我们珍贵的东西: 一点点智慧,一点点洞悉 以及对最玄妙东西—— 真相的诠释。谢谢。

Good afternoon everyone:
My name is Yu Xiao Feng. I’m twelve years old,I’m from Zhongba PrimarySchool.
Everyone has a dream,Now I'll talk about my dream,What is my dream? I oftenask myself.
Now I am a young girl with a new dream——to be a doctor. I want to be afamous doctor, helping the sick and saving their lives. Why has my dreamchanged? Well, at the age of 11 I was ill, badly ill. I had to leave both myschool and my friends and go to the hospital. Every day I suffered the troublescaused by this illness.
I also saw some people who were suffering . I made up my mind to become adoctor, so that I can help the sick people and cure them of their diseases.
I want to try my best to help the poor treat an illness. I want to let themhave an opportunity to receive excel-lent treatments for their illnesses withouthaving to pay much or any money.
I'll do every bit to cure the incurable. I hope to see a world, where thereis no fatal diseases. I'm confident that through the joint efforts of you andme, man will put an end to his bodily sufferings and this dream of mine will oneday be brought into reality.
大家下午好:
我的名字是俞晓凤。我12岁了,我来自中坝小学。每个人都有一个梦想,现在我将谈论我的梦想,我的梦想是什么?我常常问自己。
现在我是一个年轻的女孩,一个新的梦想——成为一名医生。我想成为一名著名的医生,帮助病人和挽救他们的生命。为什么我的梦想改变了?在11岁的时候我病了,病得很重。我不得不离开我的学校都和我的朋友去医院,我每天都遭受病痛。
我也看到一些人受苦。我下定决心要成为一名医生,这样我可以帮助病人和他们治愈的疾病。
我想尽力帮助穷人治病。我想让他们有机会接受治疗他们的疾病,而不必支付多少钱。
我做的每一点都是为了治愈不治之症。我希望看到一个没有疾病的世界。我相信,通过我和你们的共同努力,人类将结束他的身体痛苦,我的梦想总有一天会实现。
They know each other more in the biblical sense as well. Message number three: Dont leave before you leave. I think theres a really deep irony to the fact that actions women are taking — and I see this all the time — with the objective of staying in the workforceactually lead to their eventually leaving. Heres what happens: Were all busy. Everyones busy. A womans busy. And she starts thinking about having a child, and from the moment she starts thinking about having a child, she starts thinking about making room for that child. "How am I going to fit this into everything else Im doing?" And literally from that moment, she doesnt raise her hand anymore, she doesnt look for a promotion, she doesnt take on the new project, she doesnt say, "Me. I want to do that." She starts leaning back.
Have you ever held a question in mind for so long that it becomes part of how you think? Maybe even part of who you are as a person? Well I’ve had a question in my mind for many, many years and that is: how can you speed up learning? Now, this is an interesting question because if you speed up learning you can spend less time at school. And if you learn really fast, you probably wouldn’t have to go to school at all.
Now, when I was young, school was sort of okay but I found quite often that school got in the way of learning so I had this question in mind: how do you learn faster? And this began when I was very, very young, when I was about eleven years old I wrote a letter to researchers in the Soviet Union, asking about hypnopaedia, this is sleep learning, where you get a tape recorder, you put it beside your bed and it turns on in the middle of the night when you’re sleeping, and you’re supposed to be learning from this.
A good idea, unfortunately it doesn’t work. But, hypnopaedia did open the doors to research in other areas and we’ve had incredible discoveries about learning that began with that first question. I went on from there to become passionate about psychology and I have been involved in psychology in many ways for the rest of my life up until this point. In 1981 I took myself to China and I decided that I was going to be native level in Chinese inside two years.
Now, you need to understand that in 1981, everybody thought Chinese was really, really difficult and that a westerner could study for ten years or more and never really get very good at it. And I also went in with a different idea which was: taking all of the conclusions from psychological research up to that point and applying them to the learning process. What was really cool was that in six months I was fluent in Mandarin Chinese and took a little bit longer to get up to native. But I looked around and I saw all of these people from different countries struggling terribly with Chinese, I saw Chinese people struggling terribly to learn English and other languages, and so my question got refined down to: how can you help a normal adult learn a new language quickly, easily and effectively?
Now this a really, really important question in today’s world. We have massive challenges with environment we have massive challenges with social dislocation, with wars, all sorts of things going on and if we can’t communicate we’re really going to have difficulty solving these problems. So we need to be able to speak each other’s languages, this is really, really important.
The question then is how do you do that. Well, it’s actually really easy. You look around for people who can already do it, you look for situations where it’s already working and then you identify the principles and apply them. It’s called modelling and I’ve been looking at language learning and modelling language learning for about fifteen to twenty years now.
And my conclusion, my observation from this is that any adult can learn a second language to fluency inside six months. Now when I say this, most people think I’m crazy, this is not possible. So let me remind everybody of the history of human progress, it’s all about expanding our limits.
In 1950 everybody believed that running one mile in four minutes was impossible and then Roger Bannister did it in 1956 and from there it’s got shorter and shorter. 100 years ago everybody believed that heavy stuff doesn’t fly. Except it does and we all know this. How does heavy stuff fly? We reorganise the materials using principles that we have learned from observing nature, birds in this case. And today we’ve gone ever further, so you can fly a car. You can buy one of these for a couple hundred thousand US dollars. We now have cars in the world that can fly. And there’s a different way to fly that we’ve learned from squirrels. So all you need to do is copy what a flying squirrel does, build a suit called a wing suit and off you go, you can fly like a squirrel.
No, most people, a lot of people, I wouldn’t say everybody but a lot of people think they can’t draw. However there are some key principles, five principles that you can apply to learning to draw and you can 2 actually learn to draw in five days. So, if you draw like this, you learn these principles for five days and apply them and after five days you can draw something like this. Now I know this is true because that was my first drawing and after five days of applying these principles that was what I was able to do. And I looked at this and I went ‘wow,’ so that’s how I look like when I’m concentrating so intensely that my brain is exploding. So, anybody can learn to draw in five days and in the same way, with the same logic, anybody can learn a second language in six months.
尊敬的老师,亲爱的同学们:
大家好!
生活在21世纪的我们,整天过着衣食无忧的富足生活。可谓是家中的“小皇帝”“小公主”,真是捧在手里怕碎了,含在嘴里怕化了。然而,即使是这样的生活状况,可是有时我们抱怨命运的不公,不懂得学会珍惜眼前这个大千世界赋予给我们的幸福。
进入初三后,学习负担明显加重,这时营养对我们来说十分重要。晚上,正当我们在知识的海洋里遨游时,妈妈蹑手蹑脚地为我端来一杯热气腾腾的牛奶,并嘱咐我说:“天太晚了,早点休息吧!”一声轻声叮咛如同一股暖流沁入我的心房,身上的严寒全部消失得无影无踪,留在心底的是温暖,是快乐,是幸福。每当回忆起来,想到那时的我对妈妈的态度,心里充满了酸楚。
进入中学校门,面对着全班师生我有自己的发言权,对于我来说,这就是幸福。在班会上,老师让同学门谈谈对学习的看法,幸运的是我被选中。虽然当时心里忐忑不安,不过慢慢之后就好了。我觉得能够敞开心扉,与老师、同学一起探讨交流,这就是幸福。幸福并不一定像花儿一样美丽绽放,并不一定要像拥有海誓山盟的友谊一样万古长青,幸福就是快乐的源泉。
我们身边的幸福比比皆是,有时候,一个小小的手势,一个不起眼的表情,一个很平常的动作,都洋溢着幸福的色彩。幸福停留的时间很短暂,或许像流星一样在眼前瞬间消逝。珍惜眼前所拥有的幸福吧!学会珍惜,懂得珍惜幸福的人,你的生命才会有价值,有意义。我愿幸福如同流星雨一般洒落在我身上,我也会好好体味幸福来临时自己的感受。
“人固有一死,或重于泰山,或轻于鸿毛。”学会珍惜所拥有的幸福的人,你的人生价值重于泰山。
其实,人的一生就是这样的变幻无常,让人捉摸不透,但只要我们懂得抓住机遇,在生活中感受幸福,珍惜幸福,我们的生命就会焕发出无限的精彩。没有拥有,哪来得真情;拥有幸福,珍惜所拥有的幸福,人的一生就变得完美无暇。
愚昧的人类啊!你们不要再执迷不悟了,赶快行动起来吧!眼前的幸福稍纵即逝,难道我们不应该珍惜所拥有的幸福吗?
We're going to go on a dive to the deep sea, and anyone that's had that lovely opportunity knows that for about two and half hours on the way down, it's a perfectly positively pitch—black world。 And we used to see the most mysterious animals out the windowthat you couldn't describe: these blinking lights —— a world of bioluminescence, like fireflies。 Dr。 Edith Widder —— she's now at the Ocean Research and Conservation Association —— was able to come up with a camera that could capture some of these incredible animals, and that's what you're seeing here on the screen。
好了,我们即将潜入海底深处。 任何一个有过这种美妙机会的人都知道 在这两个半小时的下降过程中, 是一个完全漆黑的世界。 我们透过窗户会看见世界上各种最神秘的动物, 各种无法形容的动物。这些闪亮着的光, 完美地构成了如萤火虫般发光的世界。 研究保护协会的Edith Witter博士 发明了一种照相机, 这种照相机可以拍下这些令人难以置信的生物。 这就是你现在在屏幕上看到的。
That's all bioluminescence。 So, like I said: just like fireflies。 There's a flying turkey under a tree。 (Laughter) I'm a geologist by training。 But I love that。 And you see, some of the bioluminescence they use to avoid being eaten, some they use to attract prey, but all of it, from an artistic point of view, is positively amazing。 And a lot of what goes on inside 。。。 there's a fish with glowing eyes, pulsating eyes。 Some of the colors are designed to hypnotize, these lovely patterns。 And then this last one, one of my favorites, this pinwheel design。 Just absolutely amazing, every single dive。
他们全部都是生物发光体。像我说的,就像萤火虫一样。 这是个会飞的火鸡,在树下。(笑声) 我知道我现在像是个实习期的地质学家,不过我就是喜欢。 你可以看到这些生物发出的光, 有些是为了避免被吃掉。 有些又是为引诱食物上钩。 尽管如此,用艺术的角度来看,这些都如此神奇。 再来看看这里发生了些什么—— 这条鱼有着会发光,闪烁的眼睛。 有些颜色则可以催眠。 多么有趣的图案。这是最后一个: 也是我的最爱,像转轮一样的设计。 每一次潜水都充满着惊喜。
That's the unknown world, and today we've only explored about 3 percent of what's out there in the ocean。 Already we've found the world's highest mountains, the world's deepest valleys, underwater lakes, underwater waterfalls —— a lot of that we shared with you from the stage。 And in a place where we thought no life at all, we find more life, we think, and diversity and density than the tropical rainforest, which tells us that we don't know much about this planet at all。 There's still 97 percent, and either that 97 percent is empty or just full of surprises。
这正是一个未知的世界。到今天为止,我们只探索了其中的极小部分, 大约只占了所有海洋的3%。 到现在,我们已经发现了世界上最高的山峰, 最深的峡谷, 水下湖,水下瀑布, 还有我们刚才看到的。 然而,恰是我们曾经以为根本不可能有生命的地方, 我们发现了众多的生物,还有它们的密度和多样性, 都超过了热带雨林。这告诉我们 我们实际上对自己的星球还不甚了解。 还有剩下的97%,那里要不就是一片荒芜,要不就是充满惊喜。
But I want to jump up to shallow water now and look at some creatures that are positively amazing。Cephalopods —— head—foots。 As a kid I knew them as calamari, mostly。 (Laughter) This is an octopus —— this is the work of Dr。 Roger Hanlon at the Marine Biological Lab —— and it's just fascinating how cephalopods can, with their incredible eyes, sense their surroundings, look at light, look at patterns。 Here's an octopus moving across the reef, finds a spot to settle down, curls up and then disappears into the background。 Tough thing to do。
不过我现在还是想说说浅水里的世界, 来看看那些神奇的生物。 头足类动物,有头有角。小时候我把他们当作是枪乌贼。 这是一条章鱼。 这是来自Roger Hanlon博士,海洋生物实验室的成果。 这些头足类动物真令人着迷, 它用它们的眼睛,它们那难以置信的眼睛来观察周围的环境, 看光,看图案。 这有只章鱼正在穿过礁石。 找到一个位置,停下来,卷起,然后马上消失在背景之中。 这很难做到。
In the next bit, we're going to see a couple squid。 These are squid。 Now males, when they fight, if they're really aggressive, they turn white。 And these two males are fighting, they do it by bouncing their butts together, which is an interesting concept。 Now, here's a male on the left and a female on the right, and the male has managed to split his coloration so the female only always sees the kinder gentler squid in him。 And the male 。。。 (Laughter) We're going to see it again。 Let's take a look at it again。 Watch the coloration: white on the right, brown on the left。 He takes a step back —— so he's keeping off the other males by splitting his body —— and comes up on the other side 。。。 Bingo! Now I'm told that's not just a squid phenomenon with males, but I don't know。 (Laughter)
接下来,再来一起看一对鱿鱼。 这就是鱿鱼。当雄性鱿鱼搏斗时, 如果它们想要显示出自己的侵略性,它们就变为白色了。 这有两条雄鱿鱼在搏斗。 它们用撞屁股的方式来搏斗, 真是挺有意思的方法。这里有一条雄性在左边, 雌性在右边。 看,这条雄性能有办法利用颜色把自己分为两半, 所以雌性只能看到它温顺,优雅的一边, 雄性—— (笑声)再来看一次。 让我们再看一次。注意它的颜色: 白色在右边,棕色在左边。 它后退一步,让其它的雄性无法靠近 来到另外一边,并且马上转换颜色。 瞧!以前有人告诉我 这个雄性特征不仅仅是在鱿鱼身上,不过我也不太确定。 (掌声)
尊敬的各位领导、各位姐妹们:
大家好!
盼望已久的新世纪第十四个“三八”妇女节,伴随着春天的脚步来到了我们身边。首先感谢医院领导对我们女职工的关心和爱护,并用这种形式,让我们欢聚一堂,共同庆祝三八妇女节。
我和在座的许多姐妹们一样,每天身穿护士服,头戴燕尾帽穿梭于病房和患者之间,重复着打针、发药、量体温、测血压等繁琐而又精细的护理工作,不分春夏秋冬,不分白天黑夜,履行着一名平凡护理工作者神圣职责。光阴如梭,回首自己几年来在护理岗位上度过的日日夜夜,所做的点点滴滴感慨万千……
转眼间,四年过去了,几年来我深深地体会到平凡的工作中处处有着感动。记得有一次为一名重症患者做护理时,不能开口说话的病人忽然吃力得举起手在空中比画着什么,我看不明白他想要说什么。当我把纸和笔递到他手里时,他在纸上歪歪扭扭写下“谢谢!”两个字时,我感动得难以用语言来形容。
20--年的护士节,我意外地收到了我曾经护理过的一位患者写来的贺卡,说了很多表扬和鼓舞的话。我不记得曾为这位老人做过什么,也不曾想到他会记住我的名字,看着写的满满的两页贺卡,我的心里不只是感动,还有深深的思考。我们是很平凡的,平凡的就象小草,小草虽小,但是也能铺满辽阔无垠的大草原。在我们葱郁的精神田园里,还有什么坚实的东西可成为心灵的依托呢?
这四年的护理工作使我逐渐成长成熟。几年来我深深地体会到:护理工作在苦与累中描绘着高尚和奉献。当我看见那些患者把生命托付给我们那种无助的眼神时,当我看到自己用百倍的努力把一个生命垂危的患者从死亡线上拉来时,面对那些失而复得的生命,面对那些来之不易的欢笑,我就由衷地感到欣慰,我要和房医的姐妹一道,立足本职,爱岗敬业,树立全心全意为人民服务的思想,要为人民的身心健康保驾护航。
我生活在医院这个大家庭里是幸运的,也是幸福的,在领导和同事们的关心和帮助下,自己得到锻炼和成长,并于20--年11月份荣幸的被任用为综合二病区护士长,这是领导及同志们对我的信任和肯定,新的岗位也赋予了我更多的责任,我也更加深切地意识到,我不仅仅是一名普通的房医职工,而且代表了一种新生力量和中坚力量。
我科现有职工14人,其中女职工12人,作为一个新成立的科室,科里护士人员少,技术力量薄弱,面临很多新情况,我和杜主任一同带动大家一起努力工作,带领护士姐妹们加班加点,尽最大努力适应新环境和新工作,经过一段时间的共同努力,科里工作很快顺利开展。为了提高护理质量,每天提前半小时进行晨会学习,加强“三基”理论知识学习和基础技能培训,使大家迅速提高了护理技能。三个月以来,无论是对在院患者的治疗护理、危重患者的抢救,还是对出院患者的指导及随访,各项工作都做得井然有序,受到了患者及家属的一致好评,温馨如家的科室使我们不仅看到了医患之间的和谐气氛,同时也看到了工作人员迸发出的积极向上,乐于奉献的精神风貌。虽然我们这个集体很年轻,但是我们有信心把工作干好,用我们的成绩来证明我们的实力。
尊敬的各位领导,亲爱的姐妹们,新年孕育着新希望,团结奋进预示着新发展。团结就是力量,只要我们房医的姐妹们团结一心,拧成一股绳,什么困难都阻挡不了我们前进的步伐!一张没有痕迹的白纸才能画出最美的风景,我们站在新的起跑线上,让我们在院领导的正确领导下,振奋精神,开拓进取,不断开创新局面,努力创造新业绩,充分发挥“半边天”的作用,让我们与医院同发展、共进步,为开创我院和房山区卫生事业新局面而努力奋斗!
最后,祝愿在座的各位领导身体健康、万事如意!衷心祝愿所有的女同胞们节日快乐,让自己更美丽、让生活更精彩!
谢谢大家!
