TED英文演讲稿篇3
On what we think we know?
我们以为自己知道的
Im going to try and explain why it is that perhaps we dont understand as much as we think we do. Id like to begin with four questions. This is not some sort of cultural thing for t
he time of year. Thats an in-joke, by the way.
我会试着解释为何 我们知道的东西很可能并没有我们自以为知道的多 我想从四个问题开始,不是那种今年流行的文化问题 对了,刚刚那句是个圈内笑话
But the four questions, actually, are ones that people who even know quite a lot about science find quite hard. And theyre questions that Ive asked of science television producers, of audiences of science educators -- so thats science teachers -- and also of ven-year-olds, and I find that the ven-year-olds do marginally better than the other audiences, which is somewhat surprising.
不过这四个问题,事实上 即使是很懂科学的人也会觉得很难应答 我拿这些问题去问科学节目制片人 问那些有科学〔教育〕背景的观众 也问教科学的老师还有七岁孩童 我觉察七岁孩童答得比其他人好 这是有些令人惊异
So the first question, and you might want to write this down, either on a bit of paper, physically, or a virtual piece of paper in your head. And, for viewers at home, you can try this as well.
第一个问题,我建议你把问题记下来 抄在纸上,或想像中的纸上 坐在电脑前的你也可
以试著作答. 虎头蛇尾是什么生肖
A little ed weighs next to nothing and a tree weighs a lot, right? I think we agree on that. Where does the tree get the stuff that makes up this chair, right? Where does all this stuff come from?
心电图怎么看 种籽很轻,而大树很重,是吗?我想我们都同意吧,大树用来制成椅子的东西是从哪来的? 对吧?这些东西都是怎么来的?
(Knocks)
(敲椅声)
And your next question is, can you light a little torch-bulb with a battery, a bulb and one piece of wire? And would you be able to, kind of, draw a -- you dont have to draw the diagram, but would you be able to draw the diagram, if you had to do it? Or would you just say, thats actually not possible?
问题二,你能否点亮一个小灯泡 只用1个电池、1个灯泡、和1条电线? 那你能画出上述问题的图解吗?不用真的画 但假如需要的话, 你能画出来吗? 还是你会说 这个不行能?
The third question is, why is it hotter in summer than in winter? I think we can probably
agree that it is hotter in summer than in winter, but why? And finally, would you be able to -- and you can sort of scribble it, if you like -- scribble a plan diagram of the solar system, showing the shape of the planets orbits? Would you be able to do that? And if you can, just scribble a pattern.
第三个问题,为什么夏天比冬天热? 大家应当都同意夏天比冬天还热 但为何如此?最终,你能不能 简洁的勾画出 太阳系的平面图... 呈现出行星轨道运行的样子 你可以画得出来吗? 你画得出来的话,就把样子画出来
OK. Now, children get their ideas not from teachers, as teachers often think, but actually from common n, from experience of the world around them, from all the things that go on between them and their peers, and their carers, and their parents, and all of that. Experience. And one of the great experts in this field, of cour, was, bless him, Cardinal Woly. Be very careful what you get into peoples heads becau its virtually impossible to shift it afterwards, right?
好,孩童对事物的概念不是老师教的 老师时常这么以为,但事实上概念来自于常理 来自于孩童对周遭世界的体验 来自于他们跟同伴彼此沟通 还有跟保姆、父母亲、全部人沟通
的〔阅历〕 这个领域中的一个专家,对了,愿他安眠 就是渥西主教,他说要你将东西放进其他人的闹袋里的时候要留神 因为那些东西几乎不会再转变,对吧?
(Laughter)
(笑声)
Im not quite sure how he died, actually. Was he beheaded in the end, or hung?
我不太清楚他的死因,真的 他最终上了断头台?还是被吊死?
(Laughter)
