大学英语tedtalk

演讲文。Ted talk就是TED演讲，TED指technology, entertainment, design在英语中的缩写

ted talk是TED 演讲The problem with these stories is that they show what the data shows: women systematicallyunderestimate their own abilities. If you test men and women, and you ask them questions on totallyobjective criteria like GPAs, men get it wrong slightly high, and women get it wrong slightly low. Women donot negotiate for themselves in the workforce. A study in the last two years of people entering theworkforce out of college showed that 57 percent of boys entering, or men, I guess, are negotiating theirfirst salary, and only seven percent of women. And most importantly, men attribute their success tothemselves, and women attribute it to other external factors. If you ask men why they did a goodjob,they'll say, "I'm awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?" If you ask women why they did agood job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.这些故事的问题在于，它们显示了数据所显示的内容:女性系统性地低估了自己的能力。如果你测试男性和女性，问他们一些完全客观的问题，比如GPA，男性的错误率会稍微高一点，女性的错误率会稍微低一点。女性在工作中不会为自己谈判。在过去的两年里，一项关于大学毕业后进入职场的人的研究显示，57%的男生，我猜是男性，正在协商他们的第一份薪水，而只有7%的女性。而且最重要的是，男人把成功归功于自己，女人把成功归功于其他外在因素。如果你问男人为什么他们做得很好，他们会说，“我很棒。很明显。你为什么还要问？”如果你问女人为什么她们做得很好，她们会说有人帮助了她们，她们很幸运，她们非常努力。

谈到TED演讲，相信大家的脑海里会浮现出一个固定画面：站在一块红地毯上分享童年的经历分享研究成果号召大家行动起来When it comes to TED talks, a fixed picture might pop in your mind:Standing on a red carpetSharing childhood experiencesShowing research resultsCalling on everybody to take action真的是这样吗？这就是Ted Talk的全部面貌吗？当然不是，作为演讲者，首要任务是向听众传递一件与众不同的礼物，一个神奇又美丽的东西，我们称之为想法。那么我们八年级同学最近都在关注什么？他们有些什么想法呢？让我们走入八年级英语Ted Talk演讲活动一探究竟。Is it really so? Is this what Ted Talk is all about? Of course not. As a speaker, your first job is to deliver a unique gift to your audience, something magical and beautiful, which we call an idea. So what have our eighth graders been focusing on lately? What thoughts do they have? Let's step into the Ted Talk Activity of Grade 8 to take a look.在这个寒冷的冬季，八年级学生却忙得热火朝天。大家都在为TED TALK活动做准备。每个人都精心撰写了自己喜爱的主题的稿子，认真修改润色，录制了自己的演讲视频。最终，通过班与班之间的投票，每班选出两名选手参加最终的决选。本次活动最有动力的地方是采用了分层演讲的方式，每位同学都有机会进入决赛！大家都期待着决赛的那天！This winter is freezing, but the 8th graders of SUIS WANYUAN are working on fire. Everyone was working hard for the TED TALK Activity. Everyone wrote a draft for a topic he or she fancies, edited and recorded their own video. Finally, by inter-class voting, every class selected 2 contestants to participate in the final round. The most attractive part of this activity is that each student has a chance to enter the final! No wonder that everyone was expecting the big final day!
