Hi, everybody.大家好。Over the past month, I&#39ve been visiting towns across America,上个月我走访全国多个城市，talking about what our country needs to do to secure a better bargain for the middle class.与人们交流如何为中产阶级提供更好保障这一议题。This week, I met with high school and college students in New York and Pennsylvania to disc

I am not telling men to step away from speaking for women&#39s rights, but I am focusing on women to be independent and fight for themselves.我不是在告诉男性不须再为女性权益发声了，我是在关注女性的自主独立和为她们抗争。So dear sisters and brothers, now it&#39s time to speak up.那么，亲爱的姐妹兄弟们，现在是为自己说话的时候了。So today, we call upon the world lea

Tests are part of a student&#39s life.The purpose of testing is to translate intellectual performance into numbers for comparison within the same standards.The Educational Testing Service(ETS)has created different testing programs for different purposes.The SAT is what universities look at for under

Part 6 Lord Chesterfield to His Son第六部分 切斯特菲尔德勋爵致儿子London,March 6, 17471747年3月6日于伦敦Dear boy,亲爱的孩子:Whatever you do, will always affect me, very sensibly, one way or another, and I am now most agreeably by two letters, which I have lately seen from Lausanne, upon your subject the one from Madame St. G

You know, I grew up in the inner city,要知道，我是在市区长大的，and there were kids who were failing in schools 56 years ago when I first went to school,当时，很多学生在学业上就已经一事无成了，那可是在56年前，当时我刚开始读书，and those schools are still lousy today, 56 years later.而那些学校在56年后的今天仍然还很糟糕、很烂。And you know something about a lousy school

But when they really get pushy, people really get pushy, I say, &quotI do it because you do it for your kid.&quot但是当他们变得有进取心时，我们就会变得更有进取心，我说：“我这样做就像你们为自己的儿子做的原因一样。”And you&#39ve never read a study from MIT that says giving your kid dance instruction is going to help them do algebra better,可能你从未看过麻省理

When the country cares about something, we&#39ll spend a trillion dollars without blinking an eye.当一个国家在乎一些事了，我们就算花一万亿美元也不会眨一下眼睛的。When the safety of America is threatened, we will spend any amount of money.当美国的安全受到威胁时，多少钱我们都会花。The real safety of our nation is preparing this next generation so that t

Here&#39s what we know. We know that the problem begins immediately. Right?以下是我们所知道的东西。我们知道，问题很快就会来的。对吧？This idea, zero to three.我们来谈谈婴儿从出生到三岁的变化情况。My wife, Yvonne, and I, we have four kids, three grown ones and a 15-year-old. That&#39s a longer story.我的妻子Yvonne和我一共育有四个子女，其中三个已经成年，还有一个已经15岁了。说来话长，呵呵

Now look, I&#39m a technology fan, but I have to admit to you all I&#39m a little old.我是一个技术发烧友，但我得承认我年纪是大了点。So I was a little slow, and I did not trust technology, and when they first came out with those new contraptions,所以，我会有点跟不上形势，我也不相信技术，尤其是我第一次看到的新玩意儿，these tellers that you put in a card and t

I&#39m a little nervous, because my wife Yvonne said to me, she said, &quotGeoff, you watch the TED Talks.&quot我有点紧张，因为我的妻子Yvonne对我说：“Geoff，你看TED演讲的，对吧？”I said, &quotYes, honey, I love TED Talks.&quot我说：“对啊，亲爱的，我喜欢TED演讲。”She said, &quotYou know, they&#39re like, really smart, talented...&quot她说：“那些演

If you think about technology, imagine if that&#39s how we thought about technology.如果我们来看一看技术，试想如果这就是我们对技术的看法。Every time something didn&#39t work, we just threw in the towel and said, &quotLet&#39s forget it.&quot Right?每次如果有什么东西没有用，我们就放弃，就说：“算了，没用的。”这样行吗？You know, they convinced me. I&#39m sure so

Because in my older years, I&#39ve become somewhat of a clairvoyant.到了我这把年纪，我可以说是已经开了慧眼了。I can predict school scores. You take me to any school.我可以很容易地预测到某所学校的成绩的。只要你把我带到任何一所学校。I&#39m really good at inner city schools that are struggling.我尤其善于预测市区那些办学水平不怎么样的学校。And you tell me last year 48 percent of

You know, I always wonder, who makes up those rules?我一直都挺郁闷的，到底是谁制定这样的臭规定啊？For years I went to -- Look, I went the Harvard Ed School. I thought I knew something.多年以来，我一直会去哈佛的Ed学校。我想我还是了解一些情况的。They said it was the agrarian calendar, and people had -- but let me tell you why that doesn&#39t make sense

If I should have a daughter, instead of &quotMom&quot, she&#39s going to call me &quotPoint B&quot,如果我有一个女儿，她会叫我B点（Point B），而不是妈妈，because that way she knows that no matter what happens, at least she can always find her way to me.因为她知道不管发生什么，她总会找到办法回到我身边。And I&#39m going to paint solar systems on the

Now, I know that the number one rule to being cool is to seem unfazed, to never admit that anything scares you or impresses you or excites you.现在我知道要扮酷的第一法则，要显得不为所动，从来都不承认会有吓着你，或令你惊讶或使你兴奋的事。Somebody once told me it&#39s like walking through life like this. You protect yourself from all the unexpecte

I&#39d like to close with this poem.我想以此诗来做结束。When they bombed Hiroshima, the explosion formed a mini-supernova, so every living animal, human or plant that received direct contact with the rays from that sun was instantly turned to ash.当他们轰炸了广岛，爆炸形成了一个小型的超新星，所以每一个活生生的动物，人们和植物受到如同太阳光芒一般的直接辐射，瞬间化为灰烬。

When I was a freshman in high school, I was a live wire of nervous hormones. And I was underdeveloped and over-excitable.当我是高一新生时，我是一个神经激素异常活跃的人。我发育不良，但又过度兴奋。And despite my fear of ever being looked at for too long, I was fascinated by the idea of spoken-word poetry.尽管我向来害怕 被人瞧太久，我却对口语诗歌的想法着迷。I felt

And we saw over and over the way that spoken-word poetry cracks open locks. But it turns out sometimes, poetry can be really scary.我们看到，口语诗遍地兴起，好似雨后春笋一样。但有时结局却是，诗歌可真吓人。Turns out sometimes, you have to trick teenagers into writing poetry. So I came up with lists. Everyone can write lists.有时结局是，你得循循善诱

All right, so I want you to take a moment, and I want you to think of three things that you know to be true.好吧，我想让大家花点时间,想出三件你们认为是真的事情。They can be about whatever you want-- technology, entertainment, design, your family, what you had for breakfast.它们会是你想到的任何事--科技，娱乐，设计，你的家庭，你早餐吃了什么等等。The only rule i

Now I can divide my spoken-word journey into three steps. Step one was the moment I said, &quotI can. I can do this.&quot现在我可以把我口语诗经历分为三阶段。第一阶段那时我会说，“我能，我能做到这个。”And that was thanks to a girl in a hoodie. Step two was the moment I said, &quotI will. I will continue.这要感谢那个连帽衫的女孩。第二阶段时我说，“我会，我会继续。I lov

My parents named me Sarah, which is a biblical name.我父母给我取名萨拉，来源于圣经中的名字。In the original story, God told Sarah she could do something impossible, and-- she laughed, because the first Sarah, she didn&#39t know what to do with impossible.在圣经中上帝称萨拉她可以做一些不可能的事，然后她笑到，因为原本的萨拉，她不知道该去做哪些不可能的事。And me? Well, n

It is tempting. Once you&#39ve figured this out, it is tempting to keep writing the same poem, or keep telling the same story, over and over, once you&#39ve figured out that it will gain you applause.它也是很诱人的，一旦你要搞明白这个，它诱使人们不断创作同样诗歌，或者不断诉说同样的故事，一遍又一遍，一旦你搞明白了它就会赢得掌声。It&#39s not enough to just teach th

Because there&#39s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it&#39s sent away.因为再没有比这儿更美的事，当大海不断吻合着海岸线时，不管多少次大海被冲刷回去，它依旧在那儿潮起潮落。You will put the wind in win some, lose some. You will put the star in starting over, and over.在风中奇缘中你会
