Ted中英對(duì)照演講稿..

1、Ted 中英對(duì)照演講稿Rita Pierson: Every kid needs a champion每個(gè)孩子都需要一個(gè)冠軍I have spent my entire life either at the schoolhouse, on the way tothe schoolhouse, or talking about what happens in the schoolhouse. Bothmy parents were educators, my maternal grandparents were educators, andfor the past 40 years I'

2、ve done the same thing. And so, needless to say,over those years I'vehad a chance tolookat educationreform from a lotof perspectives. Someofthose reformshave been good. Some ofthem havebeen not so good. And we know why kids drop out. We know why kids don'tlearn. It's either poverty, low

3、attendance,negativepeer influences.Weknow why. But one of thethingsthat we never discussorwe rarelydiscussis the value and importance of human connection, relationships.我這輩子， 要么是在學(xué)校，要么在去學(xué)校的路上，要么是在討論學(xué)校里發(fā)生了什么事。我的父母都是教育家， 我的外祖父母也都是搞教育的，過去 40 年我也在從事同樣的事業(yè)。所以，很顯然，過去的這些年里，我有機(jī)會(huì)從各個(gè)角度審視教育改革。一些改革是有成效的。 而另一些卻收效

4、甚微。我們知道孩子們?yōu)槭裁吹絷?duì)輟學(xué)。我們知道孩子們?yōu)槭裁磳W(xué)不下去。 原因無非是貧窮，低出席率，同齡人的壞影響。我們知道為什么。但是我們從未討論 或者極少討論的是人和人之間的那種聯(lián)系的價(jià)值和重要性，這就是“關(guān)系”。James er says that no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship. George Washington Carver says all learning is understanding relationships. Everyone in this room has been

5、 affected bya teacher or an adult. For years, I have watched people teach. I have looked at the best and I've look at some of the worst.James er (美國著名兒童精神科醫(yī)師）說過，沒有強(qiáng)有力的聯(lián)系，學(xué)習(xí)就不會(huì)有顯著的進(jìn)步。GeorgeWashingtonCarver（美國著名教育學(xué)家）說過，學(xué)習(xí)就是理解各種關(guān)系。在座的各位都曾經(jīng)被一位老師或者一個(gè)成年人影響過。這么多年，我都在看人們?cè)趺唇虒W(xué)。我看過最好的也看過最差的。A colleague sai

6、d to me one time, "They don't pay me to like They pay me to teach a lesson. The kids should learn it. I should teach it. They should learn it. Case closed."the kids.一次有個(gè)同事跟我說，“我的職責(zé)不是喜歡那些孩子們。我的職責(zé)是教書。孩子們就該去學(xué)。我管教課，他們管學(xué)習(xí)。就是這么個(gè)理兒?！盬ell, I said to her, "You know, kids don't learn fr

7、om people they don'tlike."然后，我就跟她說，“你知道，孩子們可不跟他們討厭的人學(xué)習(xí)?！?Laughter) (Applause)（笑聲）（掌聲）She said, "That's just a bunch of hooey." 她接著說，“一派胡言。”And I said to her, "Well, your year isgoing to be long and arduous, dear."然后我對(duì)她說，“那么，親愛的，你這一年會(huì)變得十分漫長和痛苦?！盢eedless to say it was.

8、 Some people think that you can either haveit in you to build a relationship or you don't. I think Stephen Covey had the right idea. He said you ought to just throw in a few simple things,like seeking first to understand as opposed to being understood, simple things like apologizing. You ever th

9、ought about that? Tell a kid you're sorry, they're in shock.事實(shí)也果真如此。 有些人認(rèn)為一個(gè)人或者天生可以建立一種關(guān)系或者不具有這種能力。我認(rèn)為 Stephen Covey（美國教育家）是對(duì)的。他說你只需要做一些簡(jiǎn)單的事情，比如試著首先理解他人，而不是想要被理解，比如道歉。你想過嗎？跟一個(gè)孩子說你很對(duì)不起，他們都驚呆了。I taught a lesson once on ratios. I'm not real good with math, butI was working on it. And I got

10、back and looked at that teacher edition.I'd taught the whole lesson wrong. (Laughter)我有一次講比例。我數(shù)學(xué)不是很好，但是我當(dāng)時(shí)在教數(shù)學(xué)。然后我下了課，翻看了教師用書。我完全教錯(cuò)了。（笑聲）So I came back to class the next day, and I said, "Look, guys, I need toapologize. I taught the whole lesson wrong. I'm so sorry."所以我第二天回到班上說，“同學(xué)

11、們，我要道歉。我昨天的課都教錯(cuò)了。我非常抱歉?！盩hey said, "That's okay, Ms. Pierson. You were so excited, we just letyou go." (Laughter) (Applause)他們說， “沒關(guān)系， Pierson老師。你當(dāng)時(shí)教得非常投入，我們就讓你繼續(xù)了?！?（笑聲）（掌聲）I have had classes that were so low, so academically deficient thatI cried. I wondered, how amI going to take th

12、is group in nine months from where they are to where they need to be? And it was difficult. It wasawfully hard. How do I raise the self-esteem of a child and his academic achievement at the same time?我曾經(jīng)教過程度非常低的班級(jí)，學(xué)術(shù)素養(yǎng)差到我都哭了。我當(dāng)時(shí)就想， 我怎么能在9 個(gè)月之內(nèi)把這些孩子提升到他們必須具備的水平？這真的很難， 太艱難了。我怎么能讓一個(gè)孩子重拾自信的同時(shí)他在學(xué)術(shù)上也有進(jìn)步？O

13、ne year I came up with a bright idea. I told all my students, "You were chosen to be in my class because I am the best teacher and you are the best students, they put us all together so we could show everybody else how to do it."有一年我有了一個(gè)非常好的主意。我告訴我的學(xué)生們，“你們進(jìn)了我的班級(jí)，因?yàn)槲沂亲詈玫睦蠋?，而你們是最好的學(xué)生，他們把我們放在

14、一起來給其他人做個(gè)好榜樣?！監(jiān)ne of the studentssaid,"Really?"(Laughter)一個(gè)學(xué)生說，“真的嗎？”（笑聲）I said, "Really. We have to show the other classes how to do it, sowhen we walk down the hall,people willnotice us,so you can'tmake noise.You justhave to strut."And I gave them a sayingto say: "Iam

15、somebody.I was somebody when I came. I'll be a better somebody when I leave. I ampowerful,and I am strong.I deservethe educationthat I gethere. I havethings to do, people to impress, and places to go."我說， “當(dāng)然是真的。我們要給其他班級(jí)做個(gè)榜樣，當(dāng)我們走在樓道里，因?yàn)榇蠹叶紩?huì)注意到我們，我們不能吵鬧。大家要昂首闊步。”我還給了他們一個(gè)口號(hào)：“我是個(gè)人物。我來的時(shí)候是個(gè)人物。我

16、畢業(yè)的時(shí)候會(huì)變成一個(gè)更好的人物。我很有力，很強(qiáng)大。我值得在這里受教育。我有很多事情要做，我要讓人們記住我，我要去很多地方?！盇nd they said, "Yeah!"然后他們說：“是??！”You say it long enough, it starts to be a part of you.如果你長時(shí)間的這么說， 它就會(huì)開始變成事實(shí)。And so (Applause) I gave a quiz, 20 questions. A student missed 18.I put a "+2" on his paper and a big smiley

17、 face.所以 （掌聲） 我做了一個(gè)小測(cè)驗(yàn)， 20 道題。 一個(gè)孩子錯(cuò)了18 道。 我在他了卷子上寫了個(gè)“ 2”和一個(gè)大的笑臉。He said, "Ms. Pierson,is thisan F?"他說， “Pierson 老師，這是不及格嗎？”I said, "Yes."我說，“是的?！盚e said, "Then why'd you put a smiley face?"他接著說，“那你為什么給我一個(gè)笑臉？”I said, "Because you'reon a roll. You gottwo rig

18、ht. You didn't miss themall." I said, "And when we review this, won't you do better?"我說， “因?yàn)槟阏凉u入佳境。你沒有全錯(cuò)，還對(duì)了兩個(gè)?！蔽艺f， “我們復(fù)習(xí)這些題的時(shí)候，難道你不會(huì)做得更好嗎？”He said,"Yes, ma'am, I can do better."他說，“是的，老師。我可以做得更好。”You see, "-18"sucks allthelifeout of you. "+2"

19、 said,"I ain'tallbad."(Laughter) (Applause)大家看， “ 18”讓人感覺想死?！?2”意味著， “我沒有那么糟?！保ㄐβ暎?（掌聲）For years I watched my mother take the time at recess to review, goon homevisits in the afternoon, buy bs and brushes and peanut butter and crackers to put in her desk drawer for kids that needed to

20、eat, and a washcloth and some soap for the kids who didn't smell so good. See, it'shard to teach kids who stink. And kids can be cruel. And so she kept those things in her desk, and years later, after she retired, I watched someof those same kids e through and say to her, "You know, Ms.

21、 Walker, you made a difference in my life. You made it work for me. You made me feellike I was somebody, when I knew, at the bottom, I wasn't. And I want you to just see what I've bee."好多年了，我看著我媽媽利用課間休息時(shí)間批改作業(yè)， 下午去家訪， 買梳子、刷子、花生醬和餅干，把他們放在自己的抽屜里給那些餓了的孩子們吃， 還有為那些臟孩子們準(zhǔn)備了一條毛巾和一些肥皂。 看吧，教那些發(fā)臭的孩

22、子是困難的一件事。 而孩子們有時(shí)也是比較“殘忍” 的。 所以她把這些東西都放在她的抽屜里， 然后過了很多年， 在她退休以后， 我看到一些當(dāng)年的孩子們回來告訴她， “您知道， Walker 老師， 您改變了我的生活。 您讓它有了意義。 您讓我覺得我是個(gè)人物， 雖說在心底我知道我不是。 我就是想讓您看看我現(xiàn)在成為了個(gè)什么樣的人?！盇nd when my mamadied two years ago at 92, there were so many former students at her funeral, it brought tears to my eyes, not because sh

23、e was gone, but because she left a legacy of relationships that could never disappear.當(dāng)我媽媽兩年前以92 歲高齡去世的時(shí)候，有好多好多的以前的學(xué)生來參加了她的葬禮，我哭了，不是因?yàn)樗ナ懒耍且驗(yàn)樗粝铝诉@些永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)消失的各種聯(lián)系。Can we stand to have more relationships? Absolutely. Will you likeall your children?Of course not. And you know your toughestkidsare nevera

24、bsent. (Laughter)Never. You won'tlikethem all, and thetough ones showup for a reason. It's the connection. It's the relationships. And whileyou won't like them all, the key is, they can never, ever know it. Soteachers bee great actors and great actresses, and we e to work when wedon't feel like it,and we're listeningto policy that doesn't makesense,and we teach anyway. We teach anyway, because that's what we do.我們真的可以有更多的關(guān)系嗎？當(dāng)然可以。你會(huì)喜歡你所有的學(xué)生嗎？當(dāng)然不。你也知道那些最難搞的孩子總是很難甩掉。（笑聲）永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)。你不會(huì)喜歡每一個(gè)人，然而難搞的那幾個(gè)
