托福寫作|托福整合型寫作的聽力如何抄寫筆記?3大關鍵點直接突破盲點

Tel︰ (02) 2365-3288

對於托福整合型寫作而言,聽力的內容要比閱讀的內容重要很多。因為聽力內容細節的全面與否,決定了綜合寫作是否可以獲得理想的分數。在此分析一下關於綜合寫作的聽力部分,大家該聽什麼?以及如何去做筆記。 

1. 托福綜合寫作聽力部分聽什麼?

對於綜合寫作聽力部分的內容,首先需要聽清楚總觀點,也就是最主要的核心。雖然我們都知道總觀點與閱讀總觀點常常相反 (但有時候也出現同意的狀況),而且很多情況下都是一句話直接說“閱讀中的觀點不對”,

比如:TPO 5中,總觀點為:

Unfortunately, none of the arguments about …is convincing.

但是,有的聽力總觀點所表達的內容還是比較“囉嗦”的,比如TPO6中:

the criticisms in the reading are largely the result of prejudice against and ignorance about how for online encyclopedias have come.


在考試過程中,學生如果沒有很精準、很完整地聽懂總觀點的內容,在寫作時,可以用一句話帶過:

the three points listed in the reading passage are not convincing.

但是建議學生最好能夠清楚準確地表達總觀點的內容。

 

2. 托福綜合寫作的聽力部分「關鍵字提點」

對於總觀點,有些關鍵字是值得在練習或考試時注意的:

(1) 否定詞

– never
– cannot(
這個詞有時候會變成can hardly,很多考生在聽力過程中,對於hardly這個詞還不太能很快地反應過來)
– will not (這個字很多情況下會變成won’t,而“t”的讀音會很輕,所以有時候學生很難聽出)

 

(2) 轉折詞

轉折詞後面出重點,所以這類詞還是必須留意一下:
– but
– however
– nevertheless
– nonetheless
與此類詞相近的一個詞為unfortunately。

(3) 作者態度詞

「態度詞」顧名思義,表示作者態度的一些字詞,在整合型作文中經常出現的態度詞包含:
– convincing
– adequate
– questionable
– skeptical
– exaggerated

 

3. 托福綜合寫作聽力內容細節如何轉述?

  相對來說,總觀點還是比較容易聽出來的,只要能夠對於上面總結的一些關鍵詞保持敏銳度,基本沒就有什麼問題。但是整合型寫作最關鍵的內容,應該是三個分論點,以及三個分論點後面所有的細節,而細節往往包含兩個部分:解釋和舉例

對於分論點難度不大,每段首句即為分論點,所以不難聽出,但是需要學生注意的是:有時候分論點不是一個完整句子,可能是一個詞或者一個片語,所以聽到的時候不要覺得奇怪。
 

對於分論點句後面的細節,考試時一定要盡可能全面的含概

對於細節部分的解釋、關鍵字或者片語可以概括為:
– because
– let’s be honest
– to be honest
– the reason is…
– the real point is…
– you see……
也就是說,只要聽到這些字都必須提高警覺,盡可能將後面出現的解釋內容,用簡潔並具邏輯性的筆記加以記錄。

 

   對於細節部分的舉例,關鍵字包含:
– for example
– for instance
– such as
– like
– say……,這些字的內容也要加以記錄。


除此之外,需要特別注意的是:

(1) 重覆出現的字,要注意可能是同義字的形式

(2) 最高級,唯一絕對性的單字

(3) 問答內容,即作者可能會拋出一個問題,然後立刻加以回答

(4) 表示對比的關鍵字,往往是來反駁對方觀點的,如while, in contrast等等

(5) 特殊停頓,當演講者停頓或放慢語速時,往往是用來強調

(6) 重讀,加重語氣的內容,往往也是用來強調的。

以上就是托福整合寫作中聽力部分的內容記錄,和寫作要點分析介紹,希望能夠解決大家的問題,往高分邁進。

托福口說|最容易犯的4個文法錯誤 #托福準備 #托福準備多久 #托福聽力技巧

托福口說|最容易犯的4個文法錯誤

Tel︰ (02) 2365-3288

托福口說是考生出現文法錯誤的高危險地帶,比起寫作更容易因為一時口誤出現一些低級文法錯誤而被扣分。下面就和大家分析托福口說中的「4個常見文法錯誤」,各位夥伴一定要特別注意囉!

 

1. 句子前後不一致

  句子前後不一致是指一個句子前言不對後語,或是結構不順暢,這也是考生常犯的毛病。

《例》The fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth.

【解析】The fresh water 與逗號後的it 不連貫。It 與things 在單複數方面也不對。

【正確】Fresh water is the most important thing in the world.

 

2. 指代物件不一致

這裡的指代對象不一致,主要是代名詞與被指代的人或物關係不清楚,或者先後所用的代名詞不一致。這一點真的是大家很容易犯的錯誤:

《例1》Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid. (瑪麗和我姐姐很要好,因為她要她做她的伴娘。)

【解析】 My God~考官聽完上面這句話,應該已昏…因為他無法明確判斷兩位中誰將結婚、誰將當伴娘?如果我們把容易引起誤解的代名詞所指的物件加以明確說明,意思就一目瞭然了。

【正確】Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.
 

《例2》We can also know the society by serving it yourself.

【解析】句中人稱代名詞we 和反身代詞yourself不一致。

【正確】We can also know society by serving it ourselves.

 

3. 主動詞不一致

《例》When one have money, he can do what he want to. (人一旦有了錢,他想做什麼就做什麼。)

【解析】one是第三人稱單數,本句的have應改為has。同樣地,want應改為wants,這個舉例是典型的主動詞不一致。因為在中文裡沒有第三人稱單數之分,因此很容易犯了這樣的錯誤也不自知。

【正確】Once one has money, he can do what he wants (to do).
 

4. 詞性不一致

“詞性不一致”常表現為:介系詞當動詞用、形容詞當副詞用、名詞當動詞用等。

例:None can negative the importance of money.

【解析】negative 為形容詞,錯誤使用成為動詞。

【正確】None can deny the importance of money.
 

以上這4點就是托福口常見的法錯誤,各位夥伴應該特別留意,在口表達時盡量避免,提高托福說測驗的正確率和分數

托福閱讀|理解文章技巧分析:從邏輯角度也能看懂全文 #托福課程 #托福補習班推薦 #托福補習班

托福閱讀|理解文章技巧分析:從邏輯角度也能看懂全文

Tel︰ (02) 2365-3288

托福閱讀中對於文章敘述邏輯的掌握能力是很重要的一環,因為這關係到大家對於涉及邏輯的各類問題的解答,而在閱讀中這類題目一向是數量不少但難度頗高的題目。

而托福閱讀要如何從「邏輯角度」去看懂文章呢?為大家介紹3個實用技巧。

1. 托福閱讀把握文章邏輯:讀懂每段主題思路

在讀托福閱讀文章的第一段時,特別是第一句,往往給我們一個大致的脈絡。文章的論點是什麼?作者想說什麼?

然後第二段的第一句,再想一想作者下面又想講什麼,這一段裡有沒有什麼重要的細節。

接著第三段又講了什麼,這裡面的重要細節又是什麼。
 

幾段下來,每次讀的時候都要來個小小的總結。各段落的目的是什麼,主題又是什麼?在腦海裡形成一個作者思路圖,這會幫助你把整個文章架構和邏輯弄清楚。

2. 托福閱讀把握文章邏輯:總結文章思路大意
在回答問題前,花幾秒鐘總結一下文章大意,它的思路和主題
再次提醒:托福閱讀考察的是你的「答題能力」,而非閱讀能力。你不必完全掌握整篇文章,或是瞭解文章中的每一個細節。相反地,你應該唯讀文章段落的第1句,而快速流覽其餘部分。當你”讀”完這篇文章時,你就能對文章的結構思路有總體的把握。

3. 托福閱讀把握文章邏輯:根據整體理解答題

根據你對托福閱讀文章的整體思路來答題。將問題(或選項)定位到文章中具體的某個段落,甚至具體的句子。因為你這樣做完,你會覺得每一段的思路、脈絡都會非常清晰,做題時就可以很快找到出題點,而且對於偏離主題的題目,一眼就能看穿,主題字詞就會顯得格外明顯。而實際中每一次的小結只需要幾秒鐘的一個停頓就可以,大家不妨試試,就會明白了。

托福, 托福測驗, TOEFL, 托福考試, 托福口說, TOEFL speaking


2019
托福的口說和寫作一直保持著穩定,題型沒有太大的變動、難度也沒有太大的起伏。而ETS在題目上也是一直不斷地冷飯熱炒,舊題頻頻出現,時常關注機經的小偵探們上了考場,臉都可以笑出一朵花來。


獨立型口說出題頻率最高的是人際交往/人際關係、學校政策、個人教育、衣食住行、科技。另外價值觀判斷社會公司政策也各考過兩次,提問方式仍是維持“A or B”和“Agree or disagree”。


整合型口說的部分,常見的組織架構、考點話題都沒有明顯的變化,小偵探們在準備2020年考試時,仍需以舊題、機經與TPO為主進行練習。

托福, 托福測驗, TOEFL, 托福考試, 托福口說, TOEFL speaking


關於這個問題,ETS並沒有嚴格規定字數,只要能把自己的觀點表達清楚、邏輯合理,並且把話說完就好。以經驗來看,
一般高分的口說不會少於100個字,而150個字是常見的字數

要導正一個錯誤的迷思:口說測驗不是說的越多、分數就越高,也就是內容敘述的多少和最終得分關係不大。根據ETS的抽樣調查,有考生在45秒的答題時間內只說了49個字,拿到了基礎分3分,而有的考生說了174個字,也拿到了基礎分3分。

托福, 托福測驗, TOEFL, 托福考試, 托福口說, TOEFL speaking

因此ETS在乎的是「言之有物」,而不是單字數量。有條有理地說明清楚,並且補充細節和例子,以增加說服力。不要為了填滿回答時間,而一直沒頭沒腦的補充字數,反而模糊了主題,變成講越多分數卻越低。

托福, 托福測驗, TOEFL, 托福考試, 托福口說, TOEFL speaking

1. 按照「總→分→總」的結構進行敘述

直接破題是西方人習慣的表達方式。利用一句主題句導出整個中心思想(總),讓考官一開始就能很明確了解你想表達的觀點,踏出成功的第一步。如果在考題中出現問題,也必須開門見山地回答,直接切入主題,闡明自己的觀點,並詳細敘述且層次分明(分)。如果仍有剩餘的時間,可再多說一句話作為總結(總),讓整體敘述更加完整。

2. 合理運用連接詞,使句與句之間的關係更加清楚

中國人說話習慣靠上下文去了解句與句之間的關係,但西方人不同,他們習慣用連接詞來陳述句子的關係,使邏輯清晰。如果按照中國人的思維去組織英文,在外國人看來就是一堆雜亂無章的句子,當然分數就會十分慘烈。再來,論點的敘述由淺至深,增強邏輯性與條理性。因此在練習口說的過程中,最好請一位外師輔導,除糾正發音和語調的同時,也能修正調整內容的排列與邏輯。

3. 盡量將抽象的話題具體化

切勿在回答時,用空泛的口號做呼籲,這樣做其實效果不彰。西方人習慣十分具體生動的描述,例如說明寵物很可愛時,不該只說「My dog is cute.」,可以更具體描述他的長相、毛色,曾經有過什麼貼心或呆萌的行為,以增加內容的生動和具體性。

4. 問題太過廣泛,請縮小範圍,尋找突破口

面對問題範圍太廣,不夠具體時,很多人常常不知所措,只能看著螢幕發呆,讓時間一分一秒流失。針對這類型的問題,應該將問題縮小到一個具體的事物進行敘述和討論,設法縮小問題、尋找突破口。

 托福聽力|一次搞懂托福聽力10大出題點 (1-5)

Tel︰ (02) 2365-3288

托福聽力測驗中,每個conversation和lecture的出題考點都是有規律的,相信題目做多的同學,都能自己總結出一些結果來。

筆記至關重要,好的筆記思路清晰,可以説明你瞭解聽力內容的結構

同時,考點在出題時是按順序出的,因此筆記可以説明我們排除一些干擾選項,比如第2題中的某個選項中出現了聽力較後部分出現的名詞或事件,那這個選項必定是錯的。


出題點1
conversation/lecture開頭,對應全文主旨題


這一考點基本上大家都知道,主旨題就是第一題,差不多只有三種問法:

1. What’s the main purpose of the lecture?

2. What does the conversation/lecture mainly about?

3. Why does the student go to see the professor?

主旨題對應的句子在聽力內容的開頭部分,大約2-3句話所以每段聽力內容一開始極其重要,千萬不要恍神。

在conversation中,一般情況下professor會先跟學生閒聊,比如問一下最近參加的某某的活動怎麼樣啦,上次考試的感覺如何啦等等,這些都是與主旨無關的,直到學生自己講到I come to see you because I have a problem /question that…這之類的話,這時候就要注意聽,因為考點出現了,學生所講到的就是全文主旨

在lecture中,professor一般會先回顧上節課所學的內容,會講一大段,這些都是無用資訊,完全不用聽,一般是Last class we talked about / discussed / focused on…但是在這個部分ETS真是變態到家了,教授要麼是講得很快,要麼是專業術語特多,其實就是為了迷惑考生,沒聽懂千萬別緊張,因為重點在後面,當講到today we will continue/shift to/focus on…, 這裡就要開始記錄了,professor開始講這節課要學的內容了。

出題點2:conversation/lecture結尾,對應倒數第2、第3題

ETS特愛在結尾出題,進度快走到盡頭時,千萬別鬆懈。不要因為自己前面聽得特別好,筆記記得特別完整,就開始飄飄然爽歪歪,結尾說了啥全忽略了,如此一來,這篇聽力就至少要錯一題,這不是捶胸鈍心肝嗎!

所以結尾的資訊一定不能漏。

在conversation結尾,通常學生會提到他下面要做的事,這裡很容易出個題,就問學生下一步會去做什麼,這裡要是沒聽到就只能瞎猜了。不過還好,大多數情況下,通過推理還是能選出正確選項的。

而在lecture中,結尾就沒那麼簡單了。

一篇lecture大概5-6分鐘,是截選一節課的內容,所以結尾處的時候課堂還在繼續,教授仍舊在講新的內容,不像conversation學生已經跟老師說拜拜了。因此這裡要多加注意。

出題點3:lecture中間:學生半路殺出來問一個問題—對應imply題或者function題,100%考點

1. professor的態度

一般情況下老師的態度會十分詭異,比如突然傻笑,或者輕蔑的說一句不著邊際很短的話,當時可能會反應不過來他是什麼意思。但是別緊張,反正做題的時候還會再放一遍,關於教授的態度一般會出imply題,比如:

1. What does the professor imply/mean when he/she says this?

2. Why does the professor say this?

舉個例子,教授在後面講了一個definition, 那麼很有可能他前面是在暗示學生對概念的理解有問題,於是他clarify了一下;或者老師在後面轉變了一個話題,那麼很有可能前面就是在暗示他要轉移重點了。

因此當我們聽到imply的出題點的時候,一定要注意教授後面的講解,並適當做筆記。

2. professor下面的回答

如果教授說道it’s a fair question之類的話,下面他就要開始狂扯了,那麼恭喜你,你找到了考點,通常教授的回答會是例子+觀點/觀點+例子。這裡可能會出功能題,就是問professor舉這個例子有啥用。關於例子也是一個出題點,後面會細講。

關於這個考點在記筆記的時候,一般可以打個星號標記,然後寫S:Q表示學生問了個問題,然後在下面記P:代表professor,然後寫教授的觀點和例子。

出題點4:conversation/lecture中間,出現強調句型or形容詞最高級,對應細節題


聽到professor用強調句型的時候就絕對要注意了

例如:

This is the first time…

One thing important is…

You should remember/notice/keep in mind that…


這種句型後面強調的一定是重點,考的幾率非常大,必須做筆記

同樣,用到形容詞最高級,比如the biggest, the most important之類的詞語時也很重要。

這些地方一般會出細節題,就是問你一些重要的資訊。沒有一定出題方式,根據不同聽力內容變化。

出題點5:lecture中間,professor舉的例子,對應功能題

Professor舉例子的時候一定要把例子記下來,並且要知道他在例子之前說了什麼,因為例子論證的一般都是前面的觀點。

舉例子的關鍵字有for example, for instance等等,表示下面要開始講例子了,聽到這些片語就要趕緊抓起筆準備記錄啦!別等他開始講了才急忙地開始,完全影響聽力的效率。


還有在example中也有一些重點詞語要注意,比如then, so, in this way, ok, the next stage, well等等,包括一些邏輯詞,都是關鍵點。

這個考點出題的時候一般會問:

1. Why does the professor use the example of…?

2. What does the professor want to illustrate when he/she uses the example of…?
 

也就是問這些例子的作用。例子的作用眾所周知,都是證明觀點,所以在聽例子的同時要知道professor的觀點是什麼,這道題就迎刃而解了。

托福聽力常犯的9種錯誤,你掉進了幾個坑?(第6-9種) #托福課程 #托福補習班推薦 #托福補習班 #托福 #托福準備

 

Tel︰ (02) 2365-3288

 6 種:因某個關鍵字而選擇該答案

  托福聽力陷阱選項中,有一種 “迷惑性極強的選項,包含了原文中的某些關鍵字,但整句話做了細節篡改,變成似是而非。部分同學由於只看到關鍵字而沒有仔細翻譯整個選項,導致選錯。

  《例》

  What characteristic of notothenioids helps them survive in subfreezing temperatures?

  A. They maintain an unusually high body temperature.

  B. A special tissue in their eyes enables them to see through ice.

  C. Special proteins make their blood circulate too fast to freeze.

  D. Ice crystals in their bodies are prevented from growing large enough to harm them.

  這道題原文中的表述是notothenioids這種南極魚,由於體內有某種蛋白質導致它們能在零度以下的水溫裡生存,很多同學看到C選項中的proteins就直接選擇了,但是整句話中對proteins的解釋和原文是不符的,是典型的細節迷惑型選項,正確答案為D,對proteins的正確解釋。


【解決方法】

瞭解這種細節迷惑型選項的普遍存在性,注意解題時思考必需避開。


 7 種:對題型的解題思路不熟

  由於對題型的解題思路理解不透徹,不遵守,主觀排除正確答案。

  《例》

  What had the man assumed about human impact on the environment?

  A. That human impact on the environment is difficult to measure

  B. That humans have only recently had an impact on the environment

  C. That human impact on the environment is always harmful

  D. That human impact on the environment cannot be avoided

  

這個題目正確答案是C。很多同學認為C選項的描述過於或者不符合事實,所以直接主觀排除,但是這道題的題目是一題「轉述型細節題」,問的是文中的男生過去認為人類對環境的影響是什麼? C選項確實是原文中男生的想法。


【解決方法】

仔細研究聽力的8種題型,遵守對應的解題原則。


 8 種:選錯位型選項

「錯位型選項」是普遍存在的一種錯誤選項類型。托福聽力出題規律是:每一段會出現一個題目,如果某一個題目的選項裡包含了其他段落的描述,則此類選項叫做錯位型選項,應予以排除。很多同學做每一道題都用全文的資訊去找答案,這種思路是萬萬不可的。

  《例》

  What does the professor say about the function of the papillae?

  A. They produce dye in different colors

  B. They propel the octopus through the water

  C. They change the texture of the octopus skin

  D. They help the octopus contract into a smaller shape

  

這題題目中的papillae是和原文中的texture相關的表述,所以直接對應選項C。選項A對於color的闡述,以及選項C對於shape的描寫都是其他段落內容,屬於錯位型選項。

  

【解決方法】

瞭解錯位型選項的普遍存在性,做答時必須按層次思考找出答案


 9 種:沒有綜合應用解題方法

  在資訊漏聽時,有些可以彌補的答題小技巧,偶爾可以提升答題正確率,部分同學對這些方法掌握不熟練、忘記應用,導致可以選對的題目,最後還是選錯了。

  《例》

  What is the professor’s opinion about coral transplantation?

  A. It is cost-effective

  B. It is long-term solution

  C. It is producing encouraging results

  D. It does not solve the underlying problems

這個題目在聽力訊息缺少的狀況下,可以應用「三正一反原則」選擇D答案,即ABC都是積極肯定的描述,只有D是消極否定的,所以優先考慮D答案。


【解決方法】

在聽力訊息漏聽時,綜合應用老師在課堂上講過的方法答題,但注意不要用這種方法純粹的投機取巧,在平時練習聽力時,還是以提升自身實力為主。

The Dream We Haven’t Dared to Dream #托福 #TOEFL #雅思 #IELTS #多益 #TOEIC #英文補習班

 

中英文演講稿
When I think about dreams, like many of you, I think about this picture. I was eight when I watched Neil Armstrong step off the Lunar Module onto the surface of the Moon. I had never seen anything like it before, and I’ve never seen anything like it since. 
當我想到夢想,與很多人一樣我會想到這張圖片。八歲時我看見尼爾·阿姆斯壯從登月艙中走出踏上月球表面。前無古人、後無來者。

We got to the Moon for one simple reason: John Kennedy committed us to a deadline. And in the absence of that deadline, we would still be dreaming about it. Leonard Bernstein said two things are necessary for great achievement: a plan and not quite enough time. 
我們登月的原因很簡單:甘迺迪總統向大家承諾了最後期限。如果沒有這個最後期限,也許這件事還只是一個夢想。李昂納德·伯恩斯坦說過:偉大的成就有兩個必要條件,一個計畫和不太夠的時間。

Deadlines and commitments are the great and fading lessons of Apollo. And they are what give the word “moonshot” its meaning. And our world is in desperate need of political leaders willing to set bold deadlines for the achievement of daring dreams on the scale of Apollo again. 
最後期限和承諾是阿波羅計畫留給我們深刻卻漸漸淡化的一堂課。是他們定義了什麼叫射月思維。現在世界上急需偉大的政治領導,設立像阿波羅那樣大膽的有死限的計畫,來再次地成就偉大的夢想。

When I think about dreams, I think about the drag queens of LA and Stonewall and millions of other people risking everything to come out when that was really dangerous, and of this picture of the White House lit up in rainbow colors, yes.
當我想到夢想,我會想到洛杉磯和石牆酒吧的變裝女皇,和那些數以萬計不顧一切危險勇敢站出來的人們。也會想到最終美國白宮也裝扮上了彩虹色。是的。

Celebrating America’s gay and lesbian citizens’ right to marry, it is a picture that in my wildest dreams I could never have imagined when I was 18 and figuring out that I was gay and feeling estranged from my country and my dreams because of it. 
為了慶祝美國同性戀公民有權利結婚,我從沒想過有一天,我夢寐以求的夢想可以實現。當時我18歲,發現自己是一個男同性戀,感覺被自己的國家遺棄,同時也因此感覺自己離夢想越來越遠。

I think about this picture of my family that I never dreamed I could ever have — and of our children holding this headline I never dreamed could ever be printed about the Supreme Court ruling. We need more of the courage of drag queens and astronauts. 
我從沒想過我可以有這樣一張夢想的家庭照。我們的孩子可以拿著這樣的報紙頭條,我從沒想過最高法院會立法支持我們。我們需要更多變裝皇后和宇航員那樣的勇氣。

But I want to talk about the need for us to dream in more than one dimension, because there was something about Apollo that I didn’t know when I was 8, and something about organizing that the rainbow colors over. Of the 30 astronauts in the original Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, only seven marriages survived. Those iconic images of the astronauts bouncing on the Moon obscure the alcoholism and depression on Earth. 
但是我想以不同的角度,討論我們需要夢想的必要性。因為八歲時我並不知曉阿波羅計畫的事情,也不知道彩虹色標誌背後的艱辛。30水星”“雙子星阿波羅先遣計畫的宇航員中只有七位的婚姻僥倖存活。那些在月球表面彈跳的標誌性畫面,掩蓋了他們在地球上的酗酒和抑鬱。

Thomas Merton, the Trappist monk, asked during the time of Apollo, “What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?” And what can we gain by the right to marry if we are not able to cross the acrimony and emotional distance that so often separates us from our love? And not just in marriage. 
湯瑪斯·默頓一位特拉比斯特派的僧人在阿波羅計畫期間題問過:如果我們都不能夠填平人與人之間的巨大隔閡,我們通過登月又能獲得什麼呢?如果我們無法跨越言語的刻薄和情感的距離,即使有了結婚的權利我們得到的是甚麼?不僅僅是婚姻方面。

I have seen the most hurtful, destructive, tragic infighting in LGBT and AIDS and breast cancer and non-profit activism, all in the name of love. 
Thomas Merton also wrote about wars among saints and that “there is a pervasive form of contemporary violence to which the idealist most easily succumbs: activism and overwork. 
我曾經見過最傷人的最破壞性的,最慘烈的內訌發生在同性戀與愛滋病患者之間,發生在乳癌患者和非盈利組織之中,而這些內訌都被冠以愛的名義。湯瑪斯·默頓在關於先哲的戰爭中也寫到當今讓理想主義者最容易屈服的當代暴力有一種普遍的現象:行動主義和過度疲勞。

The frenzy of our activism neutralizes our work for peace. It destroys our own inner capacity for peace.” Too often our dreams become these compartmentalized fixations on some future that destroy our ability to be present for our lives right now. Our dreams of a better life for some future humanity or some other humanity in another country alienate us from the beautiful human beings sitting next to us at this very moment. 
行動主義的狂熱抵消了我們為促進和平所付出的努力,並破壞了我們內心對和平的嚮往。我們的夢想往往會變得無疾而終,讓我們失去了活在當下的能力。我們的夢想都是關於人類未來更好的生活關於其他國家人民更好的生活。卻反而讓我們疏遠了此時此刻坐在我們身邊的美好人們。

Well, that’s just the price of progress, we say. You can go to the Moon or you can have stability in your family life. And we can’t conceive of dreaming in both dimensions at the same time. And we don’t set the bar much higher than stability when it comes to our emotional life. Which is why our technology for talking to one another has gone vertical, our ability to listen and understand one another has gone nowhere. 
好吧,我們說這就是進步的代價。你可以去月球或者也可以僅僅維持家庭的穩定。在同一時間,魚與熊掌不可兼得。而且說到感情生活的時候我們也不敢奢望太多,簡單穩定即可。所以幫助我們與他人交流的科技一直呈指數式增長但是我們傾聽和理解別人的能力卻沒有變化。

Our access to information is through the roof, our access to joy, grounded. But this idea, that our present and our future are mutually exclusive, that to fulfill our potential for doing we have to surrender our profound potential for being, that the number of transistors on a circuit can be doubled and doubled, but our capacity for compassion and humanity and serenity and love is somehow limited is a false and suffocating choice. 
我們獲得了很多很多知識卻沒有獲得一點點快樂。一般認爲,我們的現在和未來不可兼得,如果要實現我們的潛力就要放棄當下,電路版上的電晶體數可以翻倍再翻倍,但是我們的同情心人性、平常心和愛卻是有限的,這些觀點是錯誤的,是自掘墳墓的選擇。

Now, I’m not suggesting simply the uninspiring idea of more work-life balance. What good is it for me to spend more time with my kids at home if my mind is always somewhere else while I’m doing it? I’m not even talking about mindfulness. Mindfulness is all of a sudden becoming a tool for improving productivity. Right? 
我不是在陳詞濫調地建議保持工作生活平衡。如果心不在焉,那花更多的時間,待在家陪孩子也沒有意義。我現在也不是在講專注。專注突然就變成了提高效率的工具。是吧?

I’m talking about dreaming as boldly in the dimension of our being as we do about industry and technology. I’m talking about an audacious authenticity that allows us to cry with one another, a heroic humility that allows us to remove our masks and be real. 
我現在講的是夢想,一種活在當下,在工作和科技中進步的夢想。我在討論一種無畏的真情讓我們可以為彼此流淚,我在討論一種偉大的謙遜讓我們摘下面具,真誠相待。
It is our inability to be with one another, our fear of crying with one another, that gives rise to so many of the problems we are frantically trying to solve in the first place, from Congressional gridlock to economic inhumanity. 
正是因為我們缺乏互相溝通的能力因為我們由於害怕不敢互相哭訴才會出現很多諸如國會僵局,經濟不人道等我們一直在瘋狂解決的問題。
I’m talking about what Jonas Salk called an Epoch B, a new epoch in which we become as excited about and curious about and scientific about the development of our humanity as we are about the development of our technology. 
我在說約拿斯·索爾克所謂的B時代,在這個時代的我們,無論是對於科技的進步,還是對於人性的發展都無比的激動,無比的好奇,無比的理性。
We should not shrink from this opportunity simply because we don’t really understand it. There was a time when we didn’t understand space. Or because we’re more used to technology and activism. That is the very definition of being stuck in a comfort zone. We are now very comfortable imagining unimaginable technological achievement. In 2016, it is the dimension of our being itself that cries out for its fair share of our imagination. 
我們不能因為不瞭解就放棄這樣的機會。以前我們也不瞭解太空,但不能因為我們對於所知的科技和行動主義比加熟悉就要放棄瞭解太空,這無疑是畫地為牢。我們現在很舒服地幻想不可思議的科技進步。在2016年,我們急需我們的人性在我們的夢想之中佔據一席之地。
Now, we’re all here to dream, but maybe if we’re honest about it, each of us chasing our own dream. You know, looking at the name tags to see who can help me with my dream, sometimes looking right through one another’s humanity. I can’t be bothered with you right now. I have an idea for saving the world. Right? 
各位今天來這裡都是要追逐夢想的,如果我們彼此真誠以待我們都可以追逐自己的夢想。當我們環顧周圍人的名牌,看看有誰可以幫我完成夢想的時候,我們有時候會忽略了名牌背後的那個靈魂,抱歉,我現在不想被打擾,我正在思考如何拯救世界。對吧?

Years ago, once upon a time, I had this beautiful company that created these long journeys for heroic civic engagement. And we had this mantra: “Human. Kind. Be Both.” And we encouraged people to experiment outrageously with kindness. Like, “Go help everybody set up their tents.” And there were a lot of tents. 
幾年前,我曾經設立了這樣一個美好的公司,我們讓英勇的公民參與到這趟長程的旅途當中。我們的座右銘是「與人為善、與己為善我們鼓勵大家積極行善,比如幫助大家支起他們的帳篷然後很多帳篷就支起來了。
“Go buy everybody Popsicles.” “Go help people fix their flat tires even though you know the dinner line is going to get longer.” 
給大家買冰棒。”“説明需要的人補胎,哪怕要花更多時間排隊等晚飯。

And people really took us up on this, so much so that if you got a flat tire on the AIDS ride, you had trouble fixing it, because there were so many people there asking you if you needed help. 
人們真的開始這樣積極地幫忙。以至於如果你在為愛滋病騎行的過程中爆胎了你很難去修好它,因為太多的人在詢問你是否需要幫忙。

For a few days, for tens of thousands of people, we created these worlds that everybody said were the way they wish the world could always be. What if we experimented with creating that kind of world these next few days? 
幾天中,我們為上萬人創造了這樣的世界所有人都希望這樣的世界可否一直這樣美好下去。如果我們可以在接下來的日子一直創造這樣的世界,我們會得到什麼結果呢?

And instead of going up to someone and asking them, “What do you do?” ask them, “So what are your dreams?” or “What are your broken dreams?” You know, “TED.” Tend to Each other’s Dreams. 
與其找到別人問他:你是做什麼的?不如問他們:你有什麼夢想?或者:你未能實現的夢想是什麼?”“TED”就是關心每一個人的夢想。

Maybe it’s “I want to stay sober” or “I want to build a tree house with my kid.” You know, instead of going up to the person everybody wants to meet, go up to the person who is all alone and ask them if they want to grab a cup of coffee. 
也許夢想就是我想要戒酒或者我想和我的孩子建造一個樹屋。與其去趨炎附勢,不如雪中送炭,問問那些孤獨的人是否需要一杯咖啡。
I think what we fear most is that we will be denied the opportunity to fulfill our true potential, that we are born to dream and we might die without ever having the chance. 
我想我們最害怕的是,我們自己放棄了我們與生俱來可以真正實現我們潛力的夢想,害怕我們至死都不曾一試。
Imagine living in a world where we simply recognize that deep, existential fear in one another and love one another boldly because we know that to be human is to live with that fear. It’s time for us to dream in multiple dimensions simultaneously, and somewhere that transcends all of the wondrous things we can and will and must do lies the domain of all the unbelievable things we could be. 
想像一下在一個世界中,儘管我們意識到了那深深存在的恐懼,我們仍然勇敢地深愛著彼此因為我們知道要得到人生的真諦,必須學會與這種恐懼共存。是時候讓我們同時從不同的方向一起夢想,在我們盡我們所能不停地追尋並實現我們遠大的夢想之後,我們會得到人生的真諦。

It’s time we set foot into that dimension and came out about the fact that we have dreams there, too. If the Moon could dream, I think that would be its dream for us. It’s an honor to be with you. Thank you very much.

是時候讓我們朝新的方向探索並開始實現我們的夢想了。如果月亮能夢想我想它的夢想會跟我們一樣。與各位相聚是一種榮幸。非常感謝。
