TED英语演讲：一个人有朋友就不算失败
三打三防 在《头号玩家》中其中一个反派即将失败的时候，说了一句这样的话：一个人有朋友就不算失败A man with a friend is not failed.在中国也有一句俗语多个朋友多条路你认识了更多层面的人，他们带给你的不仅仅是更广的视野，也会使你的人生增加更多的可能性。不要把自己封闭起来，尝试走出去，把自己的人际圈经营得更加丰富多彩，这样可能给你带来意想不到的灵感和收获。关于春节的对联

演讲稿
I started teaching MBA students 17 yearsago. Sometimes I run into my students years later. And when I run into them, afunny thing happens. I don’t remember just their faces; I also remember whereexactly in the classroom they were sitting. And I remember who they weresitting with as well. This is not becau I have any special superpowers of memory. Th
e reason I can remember them is becau they are creatures of are sitting with their favorite people in their favorite ats. They findtheir twins, they stay with them for the whole year.
我教企业管理硕士学生有十七年的时间。有时，我会在几年后巧遇我的学生。当我巧遇他们时，会发生一件有趣的事。我不只记得他们的脸，我还记得他们在教室中是坐在哪个位置，以及和谁坐在一起。我能记住这些，不是因为我有记忆超能力。是因为他们是习惯性的生物。他们会和最喜欢的人一起坐，坐在他们最喜欢的座位，找和自己极相似的人，一整年都和这些人待在一起。
Now, the danger of this for my students isthey’re at risk of leaving the university with just a few people who areexactly like them. They’re going to squander their chance for an international,per network. How could this happen to them? My students are open- e to business school precily so that they can get great networks.
这情况对我的学生的危险之处在于他们担当的风险是只和极少数与自身非常相像的人一起离开大学，他们将会浪费掉国际性、多元化#络的机会。他们怎么会发生这种事?我的学生
是心胸开放的。他们来到商学院为的正是能取得很好的#络。
回头票 Now, all of us socially narrow in ourlives, in our school, in work, and so I want you to think about this one. Howmany of you here brought a friend along for this talk? I want you to look atyour friend a little bit. Are they of the same nationality as you? Are they ofthe same gender as you? Are they of the same race? Really look at them ‘t they kind of look like you as well?

我们所有人在生活上、在学校、在工作中的社交都是狭窄的，所以，我希望你们能想想这一点。在座有多少人，带了朋友一起来听这场演讲?我希望你们能看一下你们的朋友。他们的国籍和你相同吗?他们的性别和你相同吗?他们的种族相同吗?真正去近看他们。他们是不是看起来也和你很像?
The muscle people are together, and thepeople with the same hairstyles and the checked shirts.
议论文标题 肌肉发达的人在一起，还有发型相同的人，都穿格子上衣的人。
We all do this in life. We all do it inlife, and in fact, there’s nothing wrong with this. It makes us fortable tobe around people who are similar. The problem is when we’re on a precipice,right? When we’re in trouble, when we need new ideas, when we need new jobs,when we need new resources -- this is when we really pay a price for living ina clique.
我们在人生中都会这么做。我们在人生中都会这么做，事实上，这并没有什么不好。和相似的人在一起让我们感到舒服。当我们在危急处境中时才会有问题，对吗?当我们有麻烦时，需要新点子时，需要新工作时，需要新资源时──这时，身在小团体中，就会要付出代价。
Mark Granovetter, the sociologist, had afamous paper The Strength of Weak Ties, and what he did in thispaper is he asked people how they got their jobs. And what he learned was thatmost people don’t get their jobs through their strong ties -- their father,their mother, their significant other. They instead get jobs through weak ties,people who they just met.
社会学家马克格兰诺维特有一篇著名的论文，叫「弱连结的力量」，他在这篇论文中做的是去问人们他们如何得到他们的工作。他发现大部分的人不是从他们的强连结──父亲、母亲、另一半──得到工作，而是从弱连结──刚认识的人──得到工作。
睬的组词 So if you think about what the problem is with yourstrong ties, think about your significant other, for example. The network isredundant. Everybody that they know, you know. Or I hope you know them. Right?Your weak ties -- people you just met today -- they are your ticket to a wholenew social world.
所以，如果你要思考强连结的问题在哪，想想比如你的另一半。这#络是多余的。他们认识的人，你也都认识。我希望你认识他们，对吧?你的弱连结──你今天才认识的人──他们是让你通往全新社交世界的门票。
The thing is that we have this amazingticket to travel our social worlds, but we don’t u it very well. Sometimes westay awfully clo to home. And today, what I want to talk about is: What aretho habits that keep human beings so clo to home, and how can we be alittle bit more intentional about traveling our social univer?
问题是，我们有这张很棒的门票，可以遨游我们的社交世界，但我们没有好好用它。有时，我们待在离家非常近的地方。今天，我想要谈的是这个：是什么习惯让人类持续待在离家近的地方，以及我们要如何更刻意一点去游遍我们的社交宇宙?
So let’s look at the first strategy. Thefirst strategy is to u a more imperfect social arch engine. What I mean bya social arch engine is how you are finding and filtering your friends. Andso people always tell me, I want to get lucky through the network. I wantto get a new job. I want to get a great opportunity.
让我们先来谈第一条策略。第一条策略是要用更多不完美的社交搜索引擎。我所谓的社交搜索引擎是你如何找到和筛选你的朋友。人们总是告诉我：「我想要透过#络来走运。我想要找份新工作。我想要有很好的机会。」
And I say,Well, that’s really hard, becau your networks are so fundamentallypredictable. Map out your habitual daily footpath, and what you’llprobably discover is that you start at home, you go to your school or yourworkplace, you maybe go up the same stairca or elevator, you go to thebathroom -- the same bathroom -- and th
e same stall in that bathroom, you endup in the gym, then you e right back home.
