Presentation: My idol

I believe the last Olympic Games still in our memory.It’s really a big honor for Chinese.And there were countle people had worked much for it.Today I want to talk about one woman who has contributed a lot to the Olympic bid of Beijing.Please look at the little girl, could you gue who she is? Actually, it is not easy to gue.Because she has changed a lot.And she becomes more and more attractive.Who she is? Yeah, Yang Lan! She has been ever one of China’s fifty most succeful busine leaders and she has been described as being “bigger than Oprah”.Well known to one billion viewers.And now she is the chairman of Sun Cultural foundations.Yang lan, I think this name is very familiar to Chinese now.As follow, I will talk about some of her special things.^_^ Yang Lan Profile: Yang Lan,

Born in Beijing in 1968 Yang\'s mother was an engineer, and her father taught English literature at Beijing Foreign Studies University and sometimes served as the official translator for former Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai.Absolutely, she grew up in a well-bred home.But for Yang Lan, she was’t a confident girl by birth.Even in her college time,she still often had the mood of inferiority.Expecially when she couldn’t catch up with others in the english listening cla.She was so gloomy that her mother has been worried about her for a long time.Fortunately, she improved her listening step by step.And she encuouraged herself to be a hoste of English evenings.YangLan learned her first experience on the stage from hosting the English evenings.In 1990, worked as a host in CCTV Yang Lan began her career as the host for the popular “Zheng Da TV show”.She was only 21 at the time and had just graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University.Becoming the host of a show with an audience of 220 million at such a young age was a big challenge, but Yang Lan was ready for it and quickly became popular.

In 1994, she got the 1st Golden microphone of host in China(中国第一届主持人“金话筒奖”)

In the same year, she went out of CCTV and studyed abroad

Many of us would probably have stayed on to enjoy the fame and money that come with being a TV star, but Yang Lan left the show after four years and went to New York City to get a Master’s degree at Columbia University of International & Public Affairs .When she was studying abroad, she produced a feature show called “Horizon”.The show introduced American popular culture to Chinese viewers. Here are some of her experience: In 1997, joined in Phoenix TV In 1998, workesd as producer and host of Yang Lan’Workroom Her program was known widly in Chinese! In 2000, created the first satellite TV of historical cuture in china her rich experience inspired her and she made up her mind to create a new kind of TV station for Chinese viewers.And she decided to develop her interest in busine.Together with her husband, Wu Zheng,she started her own media company--Sun Media,which with the theme of culture.

Sun Media got remarkable achievement in dieminating Chinese culture, enhancing the communication and cooperation among the international Medias.And she probably became China\'s wealthiest self-made woman.Her fame spreaded widely.In 2001, she was appointed one of the image ambaadors of Beijing in its 2008 bid in January and here is the speech she used in the Olympic bid.Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen,Good afternoon!

Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one thing first about 2008.You\'re going to have a great time in Beijing.

There are a lot more wonderful and exciting things waiting for you in New Beijing, a dynamic modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry.Along with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city offers an endle mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls that will amaze and delight you. But beyond that, it is a place of millions of friendly people who love to meet people from around the world.People of Beijing believe that the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing will help to enhance the harmony between our culture and the diverse cultures of the world.Their gratitude will pour out in open expreions of affection for you and the great Movement that you guide.

spectators and the worldwide television audience alike.Come and join us. Thank you, Mr.President.Thank you all.Yang Lan was appointed one of the image ambaadors for Olympic Game.At that time, her little girl came into the world only 2-months.But she accepts the task without any doubts.In fact,that was the second time she got the great task.The first time is in1993, but it turned out to be failed.And she went back home with tears.Though she was very busy as the chairman of sun TV, she spent a lot of time to get ready for Olympic bid this time.Her spoken english was fluent enough in other’s eyes.But she still practiced the pronunciation and tone of every word again and again.Moreover, she collected a lot of information about Olympic bid.And she also had read much athletic sports books.She was really conscientious.To our delight, she performed perfect.The International Olympic Committee members were overpowered by her perfect speech,her fair-sounding voice, her graceful quality.

She was worthy of a communicator between china and the external world.In 2005 ,she was appointed as a member of international Advisor Commettee of Columbia university

Her electronic magazines: 《澜 LAN》、《Her Village》and《Star Mook》 In face, she had got a lot of awards ,but I cann’t list all of them out. And now, she is still busy in her career.She keep on interviewing celebrities,organizing charitable events .But in the other hand, she takes good care of her families.That is to say, she keeps the balance between career and family very well.She is the perfect image of the modern women in china or even among the world.And she is worthy of a super star.My presention is over.Thank you for attention!

推荐第3篇：杨澜演讲稿

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of \"China\'s Got Talent\" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.Gue who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, \"I\'m going to Scotland the next day.\" She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese] So it\'s not like \"hello\" or \"thank you,\" that ordinary stuff（普通话）.It means \"green onion for free.\" Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn\'t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter) And the last sentence of Neun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was \"green onion for free.\"（送你葱） So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious.（滑稽的）

So I gue both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor（小贩） in Shanghai belonged to otherne（n.相异,不同,差异性）.They were the least expected to be succeful in the busine called entertainment（演艺）, yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform（舞台、讲台、平台） gave them the stage to realize their dreams.Well, being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives.But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.You may have the chance to make a difference.

My generation has been very fortunate to witne and participate in the historic transformation（变革） of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it\'s still there.So after being interrogated（询问） by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, \"So, Mi Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?\" I summoned（鼓起勇气） my courage and poise（沉着自信，稳重

2.优雅的举止，仪态） and said, \"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?\" I didn\'t have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel。

Around the same time, I was going through an audition （试镜）-- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls.The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face.So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, \"Why [do] women\'s personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive（拥护的；同情的）? Why can\'t they have their own ideas and their own voice?\" I thought I kind of offended（冒犯、触犯） them.But actually, they were impreed by my words.And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth.After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive（存活的、留下的） it.So I was on a national television prime-time show（黄金时段）.And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out

of their own minds without reading an approved script（审核过的稿件）.(Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.

Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies（继续深造）, and then started my own media company, which was outthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I\'ve interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, \"Lan, you changed my life,\" and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witne the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing\'s bidding（申请） for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing（拥抱） the world and vice versa（反之亦然）How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?

So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media（社交媒介）.First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful.She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog（微博）, which is the Chinese version of Twitter.And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cro at the Chamber of Commerce.She didn\'t realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve（神经） and aroused（激起、引起） national国家的；民族的；全国的 questioning（讨论）, almost a turmoil（混乱、*）, against the credibility 可信用，确实性，可靠，公信力of Red Cro.The controversy.（公开辩论，论战） was so heated that the Red Cro had to open a pre conference to clarify（澄清） it, and the investigation（研究、调查） is going on.

So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up （谎报、捏造）that title -- probably because she feels proud to be aociated with（与、、联系起来） charity（慈善机构）.All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision（分枝） of Red Cro at Chamber of Commerce.It\'s very complicated to explain这解释起来很复杂.But anyway, the public still doesn\'t buy it.It is still boiling.It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed（政府支助） institutions, which lacked transparency 透明，透明度，透明物in the past.And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as micro blog.

Micro blog boomed（繁荣） in the year of 2010, with visitors（来访者） doubled and time spent on it tripled（三倍的）.Sina.com, a major news portal（入口、大门）, alone has more than 140 million micro bloggers.On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger -- it\'s not me -- it\'s a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old.And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam（溪流） out a little bit社交媒体提供了一个开放的平台进行了一些（民众观点的）分流.But because you don\'t have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very

strong, active （活跃的、积极的、有效的）and even violent.

So making a living is not that easy for young people.College graduates are not in short supply（紧缺资源）.In urban areas城市, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.So what do they do? They have to share space -- squeezed，榨取；挤；挤取2.用力挤压 in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves \"tribe of ants.\"（蚁族） And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out（计算） they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio（比例、比率） in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it\'s 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing（飞涨、突升） real estate地产权；财产权 price.

Among the 200 million migrant迁移的，移居的 workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort（种类、类型） of sandwiched（夹于两者之间的;在...中间的） between the urban areas and the rural （农村）areas.Most of them don\'t want to go back to the countryside, but they don\'t have the sense of belonging（归属感）.They work for longer hours with le income（收入）, le social welfare.And they\'re more vulnerable易受伤的，脆弱的，敏感的 to job loes, subject to inflation通货膨胀，, tightening loans from banks银行利率，, appreciation of the renminbi人民币升值的影响, or decline（下降） of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce.Last year, though, an appalling令人震惊的incident事情，发生的事in a southern OEM manufacturing （制造业）compound 恶化in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious（传染） disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry强烈的抗议from society about the isolation 1.隔离；孤立；脱离；分离, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.

For those who do return back to the countryside, they find themselves very welcome locally, because with the knowledge, skills and networks they

have learned in the cities, with the aistance（援助） of the Internet, they\'re able to create more jobs, upgrade （提升）local agriculture （农业）and create new busine in the le developed market.So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor（劳动力短缺）.These diagrams（图解、图表） show a more general social background.The first one is the Engels coefficient（恩格斯系数（食品支出占总消费支出的比例）, which explains that the cost of daily neceities has dropped its percentage all through the past decade(十年), in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent.But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost.The Gini coefficient（基尼系数）has already paed the dangerous line of 0.4.Now it\'s 0.5 -- even worse than that in America -- showing us the income inequality.And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also, the bitterne and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful（仇富、仇官） is quite widespread.So any accusations（指责,谴责,指控,控诉;罪名） of corruption（腐败） or backdoor（走后门） dealings between authorities or busine would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.社会危机和不稳定

So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.Social justice and government accountability runs政府公信力 the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a maive急速的 urbanization城市化 and development have let us witne a lot of reports on the forced demolition拆除、拆毁 of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet, people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.

So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council会议 paed a new regulation on house requisition正式请求 and demolition拆除 and paed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other iues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.And gue what, we have faked beef假冒的牛肉.They have sorts of ingredients （混合物的）组成部分，成分；（烹调的）原料that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found illeaged cooking oil from restaurant slop(溅出、溢出、泼出).So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns

While young people seem to be very sure about their participation参加、参与 in public policy-making, but sometimes they\'re a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.China is soon to pa the U.S.as the number one market for luxury brands（奢侈品） -- that\'s not including the Chinese expenditures（消费、支出） in Europe and elsewhere.But you know

what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S.dollars.They\'re not rich at all.They\'re taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity（身份） and social status.And this is a girl explicitly 明白地saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle

So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called \"naked\" wedding（裸婚）, or \"naked\" marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet（婚宴）, to show their commitment to （；献身，投身(+to）true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging偷运 500 homele无家可归 and kidnapped 绑架、骗走dogs for food proceing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation（商议、谈判、沟通）, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find miing children.A father posted his son\'s picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witneed the reunion（团圆、团聚） of the family through microblogging

So happine is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.Happine is not only related to personal experiences and personal values（价值）， but also, it\'s about the environment.People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice 牺牲our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability 可持续发展and stability稳定性? And also, how capable is the system of self-correctne （自我修复）to keep more people content with all sorts of friction （摩擦、不和）going on at the same time? I gue these are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.

The night before I was heading for Scotland,I was invited to host the final of \"China\'s Got Talent\" show in Shanghai with 80,000 live audience in the stadium.Gue who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her,\"I\'m going to Scothland the next day.\" She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few

words in Chineses.\"送你葱\" .So it\'s not like \"hello\" or \"thank you\" those ordinary stuff.It\'s means \"green onion for free\".Why did she say that? Beacuse it wae a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle.a 50-some-year old woman a vegetable vendor in Shanghai,who loves singing Westerm opera, but she didn\'t

understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.And the last sentence of Neun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was \"green onion for free\".So Susan Boyle was saying that 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious.So I gusee

both Susan Boyle and this Chinese vegtable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherne.You know, they were the least expected to be succeful in the busine

called entertainment.Yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.

Well being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives.But I think being different is good.Because you present

a different point of view.You may have the chance to make a difference.

My generation has been very fortunat to witne and participate in the historical transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30

years.I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing.Great Wall sheraton, it\'s still there.So after being interrogated by this Japane manager for a half an hour, he finally said,\"So, Mi Yang do you have any questions to ask me?\" I summoned my courage and poise and said \"Yes, but could you let me know what acutually do you sell?\" I didn\'t have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot into a five-star hotel.Around the same time I was going

through an audition.The first ever open audition by national television in China with another thousand college girls.The producer told us they were looking for some sweet,innocent and beautiful,fresh face.So when it was my turn, I stood up and said,\"Why woman personalitise on televison always have to be beautiful sweet,innocent, beautiful and you know supportive?\" Why can\'t they have their own ideas and their own voice? I thought I you know, a kind of offerened them.But actually, they were impreed by my words.And so I was in the second round of competition,and then the third and the forth,after seven round of competition I was the last one to survive it.So I was on a national television prime-time show.And belive it or not,that was the first show on Chinese televison that

allowed its host to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script.And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well,after a few years,I was decided to go to U.S.and Clumbia university to pursure my postgraduate studies and then strated my own media company,which was unthought of, you know, during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I interviewed more than a thousands people in the past.And some times,I have young people approaching me and say \"you know, Lan.you changed my life\" You know, I feel pround of that.But then we also so fortunate to witne the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing\'s bidding for Olympic Games I was representing Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I\'m thinking.you know,what are today\'s young generation up to;How are they different and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China or at large the world?

So, today I went to talk about young people through the platform of social media.First of all, who are they,How do they look like? Well this is girl called Guo meimei,20 years old,beautiful.She showed off her expensive bags clothes and car on her microblog which is the Chinese vision of Twitter.And she claimed

to be the general manager of Red Cro at the Charmber of Commerce.She didn\'t realize that she was stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national

quesioning almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cro.The controversy was so heated that the Red Cro had to open a pre conference to clarify

it and the investigation is going on.So far,as to today, we know that she herself made up that title.Probably she feels pround to be aociated with charity.ALL those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cro at Chamber of Commerce.It very complicated to explain.But anyway, the publice still don\'t buy it,it\'s still boiling.Its shows us a general mistrust of goverment or goverment background institutions, which lacked transparency in the past.And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.

microblog boomed in the year of 2010,with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled.sina.com a major news portal alone has more than 140 million microbloggers on Tencent,200 million.The most porpular blogger, it\'s not me.it\'s a movie star.And she has more than 9.5 million followers or fans.About 80 percent of those microblogger are young people under 30 years old.And because,as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the goverment.So,social media offers an opening to let the stem a little bit out.But because you don\'t have any other openings,so the heat comes out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging.We are able to understand Chinese youth even better.So how are they different.First of all,most of them were

born in the 80s or 90s under the One-Child policy.And because of the selected abortion by families who favorede boys to girls.Now we are ended up with 30 million young men than women.That could pose a potential danger to the society.But who knows, we are in the globalized world.So they can look for girlfriends from other countries.Most of them has fairly good education.The illteracy rate in Chian among this gerneration is under 1 percent.In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China, with a population above 65 years old coming up with 70-some-percent this year.and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030.And you know we have the tradition that the younger generations support the elder financially and taking care of them when they are sick.So it means young couples will have to support 4 parents who have a life expetancy as to 73 years old.

So making a living is not that easy for young people.College graduates are not in short supply.In urban areas,college graduates find the starting salary is about 400U.S dollars a month.While the average rent is above$500.So, what do they do? They have to share space,squeezed in very limited space to save money.And they called themselves\"tribe of ants\".And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment.They figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio in America would only cost a couple 5 years to earn but in China it\'s 30-40 years with the highrocketing real estate price.

Among the 200 million migrant workers,60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves a sort of sanwiches between the urban areas and the rural

areas.Most of them don\'t want to goback to the countryside,but they don\'t have the sense of belonging.They work for longer hours,with le income,le social welfare.And they are more vulnerable to job loes.Subject to inflation,tightening loans from banks,appreciation of RMB or decline demand frome Europe and America for the products they produce.Last year,though an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufactureing compound in China.13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s sommitted suside,just one by one like causing a contagious disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation both physical and mental of these migrant workers.

For those who do return to the countryside,they find themselves very welcome locally,because with the knowledge,skills,networks they have learned in the cities with the aistance of Internet.They are able to create more jobs,upgrade local agriculture and creates new busine in the le developed market.So for the past few years the coastal areas they found themselves in a shortage of labor.

These diagrams show a more general social background.The first one is the Engels coefficient which explain the cost of daily neceities has dropped the

percentage all throug the past decade in terms of family income,about 37-some percent.But then in the last two years,it gose up again 39 percent indicating a rising living cost.The Gini coefficient has already paed the dangerous line of 0.4.Now it\'s 0.5,even worse than that in America showing us the equality of income.And so you see the whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also the bitterne and resentment towards the rich and powerful is quite widespreade.So any accusations of corruption or backdoor dealings between authorities or busine would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.

So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging we can see what young people care most about social justice and goverment accountability runs

the first what they demand.For the past decade or so,a maive urbanization or development have let us wittne a lot of reports on the forced demoliton of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.Sometimes people get killed and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet,people cry for the goverment to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year the state council paed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and paed the right to order forced demolition from local goverments to the court.

Similarly,many other iues concering public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air,polluted water,poisoned food.And gue what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish and it turns it to looks like beef.And then lately,people are

very concerned about cooking oil,because thousands of people have been found recooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcru from the Internet.And fortunately,we have see the goverment responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.

While young people seem to be very sure about their participating in public policy making but sometimes they are little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.China is soon to pa the U.S.as the number one market for luxury brands thats not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere.But you know what,half of those consumers are earning a salary below $2,000 U.S.dollars.They are not rich at all.They are taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in BMW than smie on B bicycle.But of course,we do have young people who would prefer to smile whether in a BMW or on a bicycle.So in the next phenomenon,you see a very popular phenomenon called naked wedding or naked marriage.It dose not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding.But it shows that these young couples are ready to

get married without a house,without a car,and without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquate to show their commitment to ture love.

And also people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck cagging 500 homele and kidnapped dogs for food proceing was soptted and stopped on highway with whole country watching throug microblogging.People were donating money,dog food,and offer volunter work to stop the truck.And after 5 hours of negotiation.500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find a miing children.A father posted his son\'s picture onto the Internet.After thousands of recent delay,the child was found and we wittne the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happine is the most popular word we have hear through the past two years.Happine is not only related to personal experience and personal values.But it\'s also about the

environment.People are thinking about the following questions are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reforms to keep pace with economic growth to keep sustainability and stability?And also how capable of the system of selr- correctne to keep more people content with all sorts of fiction going on at the same time?

I gue those are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much!(Applause)

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of \"China\'s Got Talent\" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.Gue who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, \"I\'m going to Scotland the next day.\" She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese] So it\'s not like \"hello\" or \"thank you,\" that ordinary stuff.It means \"green onion for free.\" Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn\'t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter) And the last sentence of Neun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was \"green onion for free.\" So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious.

Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I\'ve interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, \"Lan, you changed my life,\" and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witne the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing\'s bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I\'m thinking, what are today\'s young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?

So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media.First

of all, who are they? [What] do they look like?

Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!

Before I introduce our cultural programs, let me tell you one thing first about 2008.You\'re going to have a great time in Beijing.

Many people are fascinated by China’s sport legends in history.For example, back to Song Dynasty, which was the 11th century, people among the country started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football.The game was so popular that women were also participating.So now, you will probably understand why our women football team does so well today.

There are a lot more wonderful and exciting things waiting for you in New Beijing, a modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry.Along with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city offers an endle mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls which will amaze and delight you.

But beyond all that, this is a city of millions of friendly people who love to meet people from around the world.They believe that the 2008 Olympic Games are held in Beijing.It will help to enhance the harmony between our culture and the diverse cultures of the world.And guarantee their gratitude will pour out in open expreions of affection for you and the great Movement that you guide.

Cultural events will unfold each year; from 2005 to 2008.We will stage multi-disciplined cultural programs, including concerts, exhibitions, art competitions and camps which will involve

young people from around the world.During the Olympics, these activities will also be hold in the Olympic Village and the city for the benefit of the athletes.

Our Ceremonies will give China\'s greatest and the world\'s greatest artists a chance for celebrating the common aspirations of humanity and the unique heritage of our culture and the Olympic Movement.

With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese.Carrying the meage \"Share the Peace, Share the Olympics,\" the eternal flame will reach new heights as it croes the Himalayas over the world\'s highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt.Everest.In China, the torch will pa through Tibet, cro the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society.On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay. I am afraid I cannot give you the full picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time.Before I end, let me share with you one story.Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible descriptions of a far away land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true.And Marco answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to all of you, to athletes, spectators, and the worldwide television audience alike.Come and join us.

Yang Lan: The generation that\'s remaking China

杨澜：重塑中国的一代

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of \"China\'s Got Talent\" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.Gue who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, \"I\'m going to Scotland the next day.\" She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese:送你葱] So it\'s not like \"hello\" or \"thank you,\" that ordinary stuff.It means \"green onion for free.\" Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn\'t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter) And the last sentence of Neun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was \"green onion for free.\" So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious.

在我去苏格兰的前一晚，中国达人秀邀请我到上海主持总决赛体育馆的现场有八万名观众.知道特别嘉宾是谁吗？苏珊大妈.我告诉她，“我明天要去苏格兰.\"她不但歌声非常动听，还学会了说几句中文.她说:“送你葱”这句话的意思不是“你好,”“谢谢,”那类的话.\"送你葱\"意思是“免费的大葱.”她为什么要说这句话呢?因为“送你葱”是来自有着\"中国苏珊大妈\"之称的一位五十多岁在上海卖菜的女摊贩,她非常喜欢西方歌剧,但她不懂歌词的意思也不会说英语,法语,或是意大利语,所以她以独特的方式来记歌词将歌词全部换成蔬菜名.（笑声）意大利歌剧公主彻夜未眠的最后一句她当时就是以\"送你葱\"来演唱的.当苏珊大妈说了这句话的时候,现场的八万名观众一起跟着唱了起来.当时的场面十分有趣.

我想苏珊大妈还有那位上海的卖菜大婶都有她们的独特之处.大家通常会觉得她们无法在娱乐圈这个行业里闯出天下,但是才能和勇气让她们得到了肯定.一场秀和一个平台让她们有了一个可以圆梦的舞台.其实要与众不同不是什么难事.我们都有独特之处从不同的角度来看.但我觉得与众不同其实很好,因为你有不同的想法.你也许可以在某一方面有影响.

我这个年代的人是幸运的我们目睹并参与了中国历史性的变化.在过去的二，三十年里中国

发生了很多变化.我还记得1990年的时候.我刚好读完大学,我当时申请了一个营销的工作地点是北京的一个五星级宾馆,这个宾馆现在还有,叫喜来登长城饭店.在被一位日本经理询问了半小时之后,他在面试要结束时说,\"杨小姐，你有问题要问我吗?\"我鼓起了勇气，镇定地问，\"你能不能告诉我,你们卖什么的?\"因为我当时完全不知道一个五星级饭店的销售部要做什么.那是我第一次走进一家五星级饭店.

Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls.The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face.So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, \"Why [do] women\'s personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can\'t they have their own ideas and their own voice?\" I thought I kind of offended them.But actually, they were impreed by my words.And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth.After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it.So I was on a national television prime-time show.And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script.(Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.

与此同时,我参加了由中国国家电台举办的试听会这是第一个向大众开放的试听会现场还有上千名的女大生.制作人告诉我们他们在找甜美，单纯和漂亮的新面孔.当轮到我的时候,我起身问道,\"为什么在电视上的女人一定要长得漂亮，甜美，单纯还要配合度高?为什么她们不能有自己的想法说自己的话?\"我以为我的话可能有点冒犯了评委.但我的话反而得到了他们的认同.因此我进入了第二回合,然后第三，第四.在第七回合比赛结束后,我战胜了所有的选手.我也因此在加入了黄金档的一个节目.你也许不敢相信,这个节目是中国第一个允许主持人表达他们自己的想法他们不需要念之前写好的稿.（掌声）我当时每周的观众人数达到200-300万.

Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I\'ve interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, \"Lan, you changed my life,\" and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witne the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing\'s bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I\'m thinking, what are today\'s young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?

几年以后,我决定去美国的哥伦比亚大学读研究所,同时也创办了自己的媒体公司,这个想法在我刚刚入行的时候并不存在.公司的项目分很多类.我访问过的人数已经过千.有时候年轻人会对我说,\"杨澜姐,你改变了我的人生,\"这些话让我感到骄傲.我觉我这代人很幸运因为我们看到了整个国家的兴起.北京竞标奥运的举办权我有在场.我也代表了上海市博会.我看到了中国拥抱全世界也看到了全世界拥抱中国.但我有时会想,现在的年轻人到底要做什么?他们到底有什么不同之处,有什么样的变化会因他们而产生这些变化会怎样改变中国，甚至整个世界?

所以我今天的话题是关于年轻一代通过社交媒体的平台来认识他们.首先，他们是谁?长得什么样?照片上的女孩叫郭美美20岁，很漂亮.在她的微博上,她炫耀了自己的名牌包,衣服,还有车在她的微博上,微博是中国版的Twitter.她还说自己是商会红十字会在商会的一名经理。她没有想到她的举动引起了大众的敏感导致了一场全国性的质问,差一点变成一场针对红十字会的骚乱.这场争论非常激烈以至于红十字会开了一场记者会来澄清\"郭美美事件,\"该事件也因此被调查.

现今为止,公众已知道郭美美给自己捏造了红十字会经理的职位也许是因为她喜欢慈善二字.她的那些奢侈品是男朋友送的礼物她的男友之前是一名董事会成员在商会红十字会下属的一个部门工作.这个解释起来有点困难.尽管如此，公众愤怒仍未平息.热论还在进行中.这个事件说明了民众对政府机构或是政府所支持的机构的不信任,而这些机构在过去都不够透明.这个事件也说明了社交网站的力量和影响.微博就是个很好的例子.

微博在2010年兴起,访客人数翻倍浏览时间更是之前的三倍.单是新浪网,一个主要的新闻网站,就有超过1.4亿的微博用户.腾讯网,2亿.有最多人关注的用户不是我是个电影女演员，她有超过九百五十万的跟随者,网上的叫法是粉丝.大约有80%的微博用户都是年轻人,年龄在30岁以下.大家应该都知道传统媒体依然由政府控制,社交网站提供了一个平台让大家可以表达自己的不满.因为其它的平台不多,来自社交网站的激愤有时可以变得非常强烈,非常活跃甚至带有暴力.

通过微博,我们可以进一步地了解在中国年轻的一代.但他们到底有什么不同之处?第一,他们大部分是80后和90后,出生在一胎化政策的年代.因为有了选择性的流产很多家长选择要男不要女,后果就是现今男人的数量超出女人数量的3千万.这个差别让社会存在一种潜在危险,但没人敢确定;因为我们生活在一个全球化的世界,男生们可以到其它国家找女友.年轻人里的大多数都受过不错的教育.中国这一代的文盲人数少于百分之一.在城市里,有80%的学生上大学.但他们面对的是一个在变化的中国今年,年龄超过65的人口已经达到百分之7点几,到2030年人口老化会达到15%.大家也许知道我们的传统是年轻的这一代有义务供养老的一代,在他们生病时候照顾他们.这意味着已成家的年轻人将需要供养4位父母他们的预期寿命是73岁.

年轻一代的日子不是那么好过.大学毕业生的供应超过需求.在城市里,大学毕业生的起薪大约在400美金一个月,但平均的房屋每月租金超过500美金.那怎么办呢?他们只能一起住挤在一个狭小的空间里就为了省钱他们称自己为\"蚁族.\"至于那些打算结婚还要买房的人,他们认识到自己要打30-40年的工才能买得起一套住房.美国的比例是一对夫妻5年的薪水可买一套房,但在中国需要30-40年因为房价的高涨.

teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.

在两亿的离乡打工族中,60%是年轻人.他们觉得自己有点被夹在城市和乡村之间.他们大多数都不想回农村,但在城市他们没有归属感.他们的工作时间长薪水却相对较少，社会福利也不多.很多因素都会影响他们像失业,通货膨胀,银行贷款政策紧缩,人民币升值,或是欧美国家对中国产品需求的下降.去年,一场悲剧在中国南方的设备生产工厂发生了:13名工人年纪在20岁左右自杀,就像是一场传染病一样.只是死亡原因不同.整个事件引起了社会的关注.大家开始关心这些工人身体和心理上的孤单.

有些选择返回乡村的人,当地人十分欢迎他们回乡,因为他们在城市获得了知识，技术，和人际关系,通过互联网的帮助,他们可以创造更多工作,在发展较落后的地区将农业升级并创造更多商机.过去几年里,在临海区域,出现劳动力短缺的现象.

这些图表显示一个更概括的社会状况.第一个是恩格尔系数,它解释了每天生活必需的花费的百分比在过去的10年内,从家庭收入的角度来看,已经下降到37%.但是在过去的两年里,这个比例上涨到39%,这说明了生活花费在上升.吉尼系数显示已经过了0.4的警戒线.现在是0.5比美国还差说明的收入不平等.你能看到整个社会都感到沮丧因为他们失去了一部分的流动性.同时,针对富人和有权利人士的怨恨与憎恨开始蔓延.所以各种对腐败或是官商勾结的指控都可造成社会的谴责甚至*.

for the government to take actions to stop this.

通过观察微博上一些最热门的话题,我们可以更了解年轻的一代.社会公正与政府责任是他们最关心的问题.在过去的十年里,大量的城市化发展让我们看见了很多有关强拆私人住宅的报导.这些新闻引起了年轻人的不满和失望.过程中有时有人死亡,也有人以自焚来抗议.当这类报导大量在互联网上出现的时候,人们强烈要求政府出面制止.

好消息是在今年早期,国务院在房屋申请和拆建方面颁布了一项新政策同时允许法庭传唤那些强拆的地方政府官员.还有很有其它让民众担忧的问题在互联网上受到了强烈议论.大家应该都听说过空气污染,水源污染,有毒食品.但应该不知道我们还发明了山寨版牛肉吧.这种牛肉精包含多种成分如果你把它们涂在鸡肉或是鱼肉上面,那就鸡鱼肉看起来就像牛肉了.最近,民众们开始担心食用油,原因是有上千的人发现餐馆使用的油是加工过的阴沟油.这类现象在互联网上引起了大众的强烈不满.幸运地是,我们看到政府更及时和更平常地来消除公众的担忧.

虽然这些年轻的一代确信他们在政策制定上的影响,但在自己生活方面的追求上却有点找不到方向.中国很快会超越美国.成为第一大奢侈品消费市场这还不包括在中国人在欧洲和其它地方的消费.但你也许不知道,这其中一半的消费者收入还不到2000美元.他们根本就不是有钱人.但这些名牌手袋和衣服对他们来说是一种身份的象征.这个女孩在一个相亲节目上公开表明她宁愿坐在寳马车里哭也不要坐在脚踏车上笑.但当然还是有年轻人觉得寳马脚踏车都无所谓,只要能开心就好.

without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homele and kidnapped dogs for food proceing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find miing children.A father posted his son\'s picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witneed the reunion of the family through microblogging.

在这张图片里,是一种很流行的现象叫做“裸婚\".他们不是在婚礼上不穿衣服,但已经决定要在没有车房,没有钻戒没有婚宴的情况下结为夫妇,来实现他们对真爱的承诺.通过社交媒体,人们还做了有很多意义的事.这张图片上展示了一台卡车上的500只将会被加工成食物的流浪狗和被绑架的狗在高速路上被发现和停了下来整个国家都在微博上关注此事件.有人捐钱,捐狗粮志愿去停下那台卡车.几小时的协商后,这500只狗获救了.同时也有人帮助找走失的孩童.这位爸爸将儿子的图片上传到网上,在成千上万的转发后,孩子找到了,我们通过微博见证了一家的团聚.

幸福是最近两年里听到最多次的词语.幸福不单只是和个人经历和价值相关,它也同样关系到我们的环境.人们在思考这些问题:我们到底应不应该牺牲我们的环境来换取GDP的增长?我们应该如何来实现社会和政治的改革才能赶上经济的增长,让发展更持续和更稳定?还有,自行纠正的制度到底有多大的能力让人们在这么多冲突的情况下还能感到满足?我想民众们会给这些问题一个答案.我们年轻的一代将会改变他们的国家同时也改变了自己.

Thank you very much.(Applause)

Susan Boyle.And I told her, \"I\'m going to Scotland the next day.\" She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese] So it\'s not like \"hello\" or \"thank you,\" that ordinary stuff.It means \"green onion for free.\" Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn\'t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter) And the last sentence of Neun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was \"green onion for free.\" So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious.So I gue both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherne.They were the least expected to be succeful in the busine called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.Well, being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives.But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.You may hae the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witne and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it\'s still there.So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, \"So, Mi Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?\" I summoned my courage and poise and said, \"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?\" I didn\'t have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls.The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face.So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, \"Why [do] women\'s personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can\'t they have their own ideas and their own voice?\" I thought I kind of 1 offended them.But actually, they were impreed by my words.And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth.After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it.So I was on a national television prime-time show.And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script.(Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I\'ve interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, \"Lan, you changed my life,\" and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witne the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing\'s bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I\'m thinking, what are today\'s young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?

These diagrams show a more general social background.The first one is the Engels coefficient, which explains that the cost of daily neceities has dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent.But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost.The Gini coefficient has already paed the dangerous line of 0.4.Now it\'s 0.5 -- even worse than that in America -- showing us the income inequality.And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also, the bitterne and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread.So any accusations of corruption or backdoor dealings between authorities or busine would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a maive urbanization and development have let us witne a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet, people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council paed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and paed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other iues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, 4 polluted water, poisoned food.And gue what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they\'re a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.China is soon to pa the U.S.as the number one market for luxury brands -- that\'s not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere.But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S.dollars.They\'re not rich at all.They\'re taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called \"naked\" wedding, or \"naked\" marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homele and kidnapped dogs for food proceing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find miing children.A father posted his son\'s picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witneed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happine is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.Happine is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it\'s about the environment.People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the system of self-correctne to 5 keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time? I gue these are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generation is going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.

杨澜TED演讲稿节选

通过微博上很火的话题，我们可以看到年轻人的关注点。社会公正和政府的公信力是他们首要需求的。在过去的十年中，急速的城市化让民众读到太多强制私人住户拆迁的新闻，这引发了年轻一代的愤怒和不理解。有时候，被拆迁的住户以自杀和自-焚的方式来抗-议(强制拆迁行为)。当这些事件越来越常在互联网上被揭露出来，人们期待政府可以采取一些更积极的制止行动。

杨澜TED演讲稿英文版：重塑中国的年轻一代

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of \"China\'s Got Talent\" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audiences in the stadium.Gue who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, \"I\'m going to Scotland the next day.\" She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese]So it\'s not like \"hello\" or \"thank you,\" that ordinary stuff.It means \"green onion for free.\" Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn\'t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter) And the last sentence of Neun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was \"green onion for free.\" So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audiences sang together.That was hilarious.在来爱尔兰的前一晚，我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。猜猜谁是表演嘉宾？——苏珊大妈。我告诉她，“我明天要去爱尔兰了。” 她歌声犹如天籁。而且她还可以说点中文。“送你葱。” 这不是“你好、谢谢”之类的日常用语。这组词翻译过来是免费给你青葱，为什么她要说这个呢？因为这是我们中国版的苏珊大妈很有名的一句歌词。这位五十几岁的大妈在上海以贩卖蔬菜为生。她喜欢西方的歌剧，但是她不懂任何外语，所以她就把中文蔬菜名填做歌词。当她在体育场里唱到今夜无人入眠的最后一句时，她唱的是“送你葱”。苏珊大妈和全场八万观众一起唱“送你葱”，多有意思的场面。

So I gue both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherne.They were the least expected to be succeful in the busine called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.Well, being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives.But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.You may have the chance to make a difference.我想苏珊大妈和这位在上海做蔬菜买卖的都属于不同寻常的人。在业界所谓的娱乐圈，他们最不可能取得成功，但是他们的勇气和才华让他们成功了。一场秀，一个平台给了他们实现梦想的舞台。与众不同不难，从不同的角度看我们都是不一样的。我认为与众不同是好的，因为你有不同的看法，这给你机会去产生不同的影响。

My generation has been very fortunate to witne and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it\'s still there.So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, \"So, Mi Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?\"I summoned my courage and poise and said, \"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?\" I didn\'t have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.我们这代人有幸见证和参与了过去二三十年中国的历史性的转型。我记得在九十年代，刚从大学毕业的我申请了一份在北京五星级酒店销售部的工作。在日本经理一个半小时的面试后，他最后说：“杨小姐，你有什么问题要问我吗？”我鼓起勇气，定定神然后问道：“您能告诉我销售部到底销售什么？”我对于五星级酒店的销售部的职责一点都摸不着头脑。那是我在五星级酒店的第一天。 Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls.The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face.So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, \"Why [do] women\'s personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can\'t they have their own ideas and their own voice?\" I thought I kind of offended them.But actually, they were impreed by my words.And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth.After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it.So I was on a national television prime-time show.And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script.(Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.同时，我和上千名大学女生参加了一场由中国中央电视台举办的史无前例的公开选拔。制作人告诉我们他们想找一位可爱，天真，美丽的新面孔。当轮到我时，我站起来说道，“为什么女孩在电视上必须是漂亮，甜美，无邪的，像个花瓶？为什么她们不能有她们的想法，她们自己的声音？”我想我一定得罪了评委。但是事实上，我的发言给他们留下了深刻的印象。接下来我进入了第二轮的选拔，然后是第三轮，第四轮。在经过七轮的选拔后，我胜出了。成为了一个国家电视台黄金时段节目的主持人。不管你们相不相信，那是中国电视上第一个节目可以允许主持人自由发挥而不是去读审查后的稿子。这个节目的观众人数高达两到三千

Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I st Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I\'ve interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, \"Lan, you changed my life,\" and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witne the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing\'s bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I\'m thinking, what are today\'s young generations up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world? 几年后，我决定去美国哥伦比亚大学进修。之后我有了自己的传媒公司，这是在我刚毕业的时候想都不敢想的。我和我的团队做了很多事情。在过去的这些年，我采访了上千人。有时候有年轻人走过来对我说：“杨澜，你改变了我的生活。”我也为此而自豪。接下来我们一起见证了中国更多的变化。我参与了北京申奥，出席了上海世博会。我看到中国拥抱世界，世界接纳中国„„但是有时候我在想，当今的年轻人追求什么？他们有什么不同？他们如何去创造中国的未来，往大了说，世界的未来？

So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be aociated with charity.All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cro at Chamber of Commerce.It\'s very complicated to explain.But anyway, the public still doesn\'t buy it.It is still boiling.It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past.And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.至此，我们知道是她自己编造的头衔，大概是觉得和慈善有关事件有面子的事情。所有的奢侈品都是她的男朋友送给她的，她男朋友曾经是红十字下属商会的董事成员。这个关系解释起来太复杂了。但是不管怎么说，公众不买账。这个话题始终热议与街头巷尾。这件事揭示了公众对于缺乏透明度的政府及政府机构普遍的不信任。

Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled.Sina.com, a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger -- it\'s not me -- it\'s a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old.And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit.But because you don\'t have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.微博在2010火了起来。玩微博的人翻了一番，织微博的时间也是过去的三倍了。单单新浪这个主要的新闻门户网站就拥有一千四百万微博使用者。腾讯有两千万。首屈一指的微博，不是我，是一个电影明星，她拥有超过95万粉丝。大约百分之八十的微博使用者是三十岁以下的年轻人。如你所知，传统媒体依然由政府掌控，社交媒体给人们一个宣泄的小出口。因为没有更多的宣泄渠道，来自社交媒体的宣泄是强大的，积极的，甚至是暴力的。

So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.So how are they different? First of all, most of them were born in the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy.And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women.That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we\'re in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.Most of them have fairly good education.The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent.In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030.And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they\'re sick.So it means young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people.通过微博我们可以更好的了解中国的年轻人。他们有怎样的不同？首先他们中的大多数出生于独生子女政策开始实施的上世纪八九十年代。因为很多家庭喜欢男孩多于女孩，现在我们年轻男性多于年轻女性近三百万。这可能造成社会潜在的危险，可是谁知道呢？在这个全球化的时代，他们可以找别的国家的女孩做女朋友。他们中的大多数接受了很好的教育。文盲率在这一代人低于百分之一。在城市，百分之八十的孩子进入大学。但是老龄化问题也不容忽视。今年的统计显示超过六十五岁的人占总人口的百分之七，到2030年将达到百分之十五，你们知道在我们的传统文化中年轻人要赡养老人。这就意味着年轻的夫妇要赡养四位平均寿命为七十三岁的老人。因此养家糊口对于年轻人并不是件轻松的事。

College graduates are not in short supply.In urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.So what do they do? They have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves \"tribe of ants.\" And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it\'s 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.大学毕业生并非供不应求。在城市，大学毕业生的起薪大约四百美元一个月，可是仅仅房租就要超过五百美元一个月。这让他们怎么应对？他们不得不合租，为了省房租挤在逼仄的小房间里，他们称自己为蚁族。而对于那些将要结婚的并且准备买房的年轻人，他们必须要工作三十到四十年才能负担起自己的第一套公寓。当对于美国人来说只需要五年就能负担得起，但是面对中国奇高的房价却需要三十到四十年。 (责任编辑：admin)

Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas.Most of them dont want to go back to t Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas.Most of them don\'t want to go back to the countryside, but they don\'t have the sense of belonging.They work for longer hours with le income, le social welfare.And they\'re more vulnerable to job loes, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce.Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.在两千万外来务工者中，有百分之六十的人是年轻人。他们如同一块三明治被夹在城市和乡村中间。大多数都不愿再回到乡下，但是他们在城市却没有归属感。超时工作，低薪，无法享受社会福利。受通货膨胀，银根紧缩，人民币升值的影响，他们生产的产品在欧美国家的需求量下降，这使他们更容易失业。去年，在南方某个OEM生产原地发生了骇人听闻的事件：十三个年纪在二十岁左右的工人自杀，一个接着一个的自杀仿佛感染了传染性疾病。虽然他们的自杀的原因各有不同，可是这个事件引起了巨大的社会舆论，对于外来务工人员在身体上，精神上的隔离。

For those who do return back to the countryside, they find themselves very welcome locally, because with the knowledge, skills and networks they have learned in the cities, with the aistance of the Internet, they\'re able to create more jobs, upgrade local agriculture and create new busine in the le developed market.So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.对于那些回到乡下的打工者，他们受到了当地的热烈欢迎。这是因为他们在城市中所学到的知识技能，在网络的帮助下，让他们能够创造更多的工作机会，提升当地的农业发展水平，在欠发达地区创造新的商机。因此，在沿海地区发生了劳动力缺乏的问题。

So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a maive urbanization and development have let us witne a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet, people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.通过微博上很火的话题，我们可以看到年轻人的关注点。社会公正和政府的公信力是他们首要需求的。在过去的十年中，急速的城市化让民众读到太多强制私人住户拆迁的新闻，这引发了年轻一代的愤怒和不理解。有时候，被拆迁的住户以自杀和自焚的方式来抗议（强制拆迁行为）。当这些事件越来越常在互联网上被揭露出来，人们期待政府可以采取一些更积极的制止行动。

So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council paed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and paed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other iues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.And gue what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet and fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.好消息是，今年早些时候，人民代表大会通过了一项关于房屋征用和拆迁的新法规，将征用和拆迁的权利从当地政府移交到了法庭。相同的，很多其他与公共安全相关的问题也在互联网上被热烈讨论。我们听到有太多空气污染，水污染，有毒食品的报道。你甚至都想不到，我们还有假牛肉。人们用一种特殊的材料加入鸡肉和鱼肉中，然后以牛肉的价格进行出售。最近，人们对食用油也很担忧，大量的餐馆被发现在使用“地沟油“。所有这些事件引发了互联网上民众观点的大爆发。幸运的是，我们看到了政府正在更积极和更及时的对这些民众的质疑给予回应。

从一方面看起来，年轻人已参与到公共政策的制定中，但是从另一方面看，他们对于自己个人生活的需要有着些许的迷失。中国会超过美国成为世界第一的奢侈品消费市场，这还不包括中国人在欧洲及其他地区的消费。但是你知道吗？半数的消费者的薪水低于两千美元。他们一点都不富裕。他们把这些包，衣服作为标榜他们身份和社会地位的象征。在一档电视约会秀中，一个女孩直白的说她宁愿在宝马车中哭泣也不愿在自行车上笑。当然，我们有年轻人喜欢笑，不管在宝马车中还是自行车上。

So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called \"naked\" wedding, or \"naked\" marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homele and kidnapped dogs for food proceing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find miing children.A father posted his son\'s picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witneed the reunion of the family through microblogging.在下一张图片里，你看到一个非常流行的现象叫做”裸婚“。这不是说他们在婚礼上不穿衣服，这是在说即使没有房子，车子，没有钻石戒指和盛大的婚礼，这些年轻夫妇也愿意结成连理，显示他们对于爱情的承诺。通过社交媒体，人们做着好的事。第一张图片告诉我们，整个国家通过微博看到了这装有500只将用于食品加工的流浪狗的卡车被发现并且截停在高速公路上。人们自愿捐款，送狗粮并且自愿去截停这辆卡车。在数小时的协商下，五百只流浪狗被解救了。还有人帮助寻找走失的小孩。一位父亲在网上上传了儿子的照片。在成千上万的转发后，孩子找到了，我们也通过微博见证了这家人的重聚。

So happine is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.Happine is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it\'s about the environment.People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the system of self-correctne to keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time? I gue these are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generations are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.在过去的两年里幸福是我们听到的最流行的词。幸福不仅仅是个人的经历和个人价值，幸福也关乎环境。人们在思考这样的问题：我们真的要为了更高的GDP去牺牲我们的环境吗？我们如何在实施我们社会政治改革的同时，保持经济增长的可持续性和稳定性？一个系统的自我更正能力如何让更多的人对于同时发生的各种摩擦满意？我想这些问题将会被解答。我们年轻的一代在改变自己的同时也必将改变这个国家。

谢谢

第13篇：杨澜TED全英文演讲稿

Yang Lan: The generation that\'s remaking China

So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media.First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful.She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter.And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cro at the Chamber of Commerce.She didn\'t realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cro.The controversy was so heated that the Red Cro had to open a pre conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be aociated with charity.All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cro at Chamber of Commerce.It\'s very complicated to explain.But anyway, the public still doesn\'t buy it.It is still boiling.It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past.And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled.Sina.com, a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger -- it\'s not me -- it\'s a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old.And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit.But because you don\'t have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.So how are they different?

They have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves \"tribe of ants.\" And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it\'s 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas.Most of them don\'t want to

agriculture and create new busine in the le developed market.So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background.The first one is the Engels coefficient, which explains that the cost of daily neceities has dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent.But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost.The Gini coefficient has already paed the dangerous line of 0.4.Now it\'s 0.5 -- even worse than that in America -- showing us the income inequality.And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also, the bitterne and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread.So any accusations of corruption or backdoor dealings between authorities or busine would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a maive urbanization and development have let us witne a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet, people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council paed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and paed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other iues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.And gue what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they\'re a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.China is soon to pa the U.S.as the number one market for luxury brands -- that\'s not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere.But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S.dollars.They\'re not rich at all.They\'re taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called \"naked\" wedding, or \"naked\" marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homele and kidnapped dogs for food proceing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find miing children.A father posted his son\'s picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witneed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happine is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.Happine is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it\'s about the environment.People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the system of self-correctne to keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time? I gue these are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generation is going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.

第14篇：杨澜申奥中英文演讲稿

杨澜申奥中英文演讲稿

杨澜七年前震动世界的经典演讲

—— 杨澜演说技巧启发我们与西方沟通方式

2001年7月13日，是所有中国人永远记住的日子。那天中国获得了北京奥运会的主办权，那天夜晚全中国都沸腾了。而在中国申奥的最关键时刻，赴莫斯科的中国申奥大使杨澜，在７月１３日代表中国在莫斯科作最后陈述成为一次精彩的经典演说，杨澜的演说感动评委、震动世界，杨澜以她的东方魅力嫁接起沟通世界的桥梁。七年后,杨澜代表中国宣誓的奥运梦想正在变为现实。

八年前在蒙特卡洛的投票选举中，北京未能获得2000年奥运会的举办权。杨澜当时作为中央电视台前方主持人，目睹了投票的前前后后。她事后说自己是哭着回来的。八年后，北京申奥的舞台上再次出现了杨澜的身影。这次中国成功了。

莫斯科时间７月１３日晚进行最后投票，在当天白天，５个申办城市将在所有投票人面前作最后一次１小时的申办陈述。中国的１小时陈述由七八个人来完成，这其中有时任副总理李岚清、时任北京市副市长刘琪以及袁伟民、邓亚萍、杨澜等。作为其中的两位女性，邓亚萍代表运动员作１分半钟的陈述，而杨澜作关于北京文化计划的４分钟陈述。杨澜的４分钟陈述和当年２月考察团来华时，所作的２０分钟报告的主体内容相一致，而要把２０分钟的内容浓缩在４分钟之内并非易事。杨澜陈述的具体内容有：北京特殊的文化和奥林匹克运动的关系、北京的教育计划，闭幕式的设计以及火炬接力的设计等因素。所有人的陈述都要用英语完成。

经历过第一次的失败，这次申奥中，无论是政府官员，还是方方面面的专家，国际化程度方面提高了许多，不仅能熟练地用英语交流，而且还有长期国际交往的经验，而第一次申办时北京的申奥队伍能用英语和外国人直接交流的还不是很多。媒体和民众心态比上一次申办时更加理性，更加以平常心来看待这次申奥，这也是一个城市自信和成熟的表现。申奥能否成功，其中有许多不确定因素。作为申办者，应该全力以赴，但不要给自己太多的压力。

杨澜的英文演说时间4分钟，但是极具演讲风采、东方魅力。杨澜以亲和的微笑、宁静自信的眼神和流畅的英文，讲述北京的悠久历史文化和北京举办奥运会的文化意义。为了与评委的和世界观众的沟通，杨澜的论述很有西方技巧：杨澜上场第一句话是“你们将会在北京享受一个愉快的夏天！”拉近了与西方的心理距离，很平淡的一句话但有技巧。借用西方人马可波罗这个元素，拉近与西方文化的距离。杨澜的演说还生动阐述了奥运火炬传递壮观景象设想，把东方的雄浑大气、厚重底蕴和西方的浪漫精神、挑战理想融合为一，富有想象力和浪漫感，感染和震动评委和观众。杨澜说“多年的媒体经验，在国内生活居住的经验，都让我知道该用什么语言，该用什么表达方式来和这些人打交道。” 杨澜与西方人打交道的技巧也启发我们每个人，因为我们将首次迎来最大规模的世界客人，我们要做东道主。

杨澜4分钟的英文演说成为一次经典演说，这次经典演说先声夺人开启了北京奥运会响亮世界的一个声音，宣誓了古老民族的奥运梦想，七年后重温杨澜的演讲，言犹在耳，而每句话都正在变为现实：“我们的开闭幕式，将是展现中国杰出作家、导演和作曲家的舞台，讴歌人类的共同理想，以及我们独特的奥林匹克运动。” 翻译文稿版本1: Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen,Good afternoon! 主席先生，各位来宾，大家午安！

Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one thing first about 2008.You\'re going to have a great time in Beijing. 在我介绍我们的文化节目，首先我要告诉你一件有关于2008的事，你将在北京度过一段美好的时光。

China has its own sport legends.Back to Song Dynasty, about the 11th century, people started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football.The game was very popular and women were also participating.Now, you will understand why our women football team is so good today. 中国有自己的体育传奇。回到宋代，大约11世纪，人们开始玩一个叫蹴鞠的游戏，这被看作是足球古老的起源。这个游戏很受欢迎，妇女也来参加。现在，你就会明白，为什么我们的女子足球队这么厉害了。

There are a lot more wonderful and exciting things waiting for you in New Beijing, a dynamic modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry.Along with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city offers an endle mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls that will amaze and delight you. 还有更多精彩的事物在等着你。在新北京，一个充满活力的现代化大都市，交织3000年的文化宝藏的城市面貌，伴随着象征意象的紫禁城、天坛、万里长城正在向您展开，这个城市有着多样的的影院、博物馆、舞厅、各种餐馆和购物中心，正在让您感到惊喜与兴奋。

But beyond that, it is a place of millions of friendly people who love to meet people from around the world.People of Beijing believe that the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing will help to enhance the harmony between our culture and the diverse cultures of the world.Their gratitude will pour out in open expreions of affection for you and the great Movement that you guide. 但除此之外，它是一个深受几百万喜爱，可以满足来自全世界的人的城市。北京人民相信，2008年北京奥运会将有助提升中国与中国香港的和谐，我们的文化会与世界多元文化相互交融。他们会公开表达对奥运的期盼之情了，你可以见证你和伟大的运动间的文化交流。

Within our cultural programs, education and communication will receive the highest priority.We seek to create an intellectual and sporting legacy by broadening the understanding of the Olympic Ideals throughout the country.在我们的文化发展中，教育和交流将得到优先发展，我们想要创造一个智力和体育记录，以扩大人们所了解的奥运梦想传播于全国各地。

Cultural events will unfold each year, from 2005 to 2008.We will stage multi-disciplined cultural programs, such as concerts, exhibitions, art competitions and camps which will involve young people from around the world.During the Olympics, they will be staged in the Olympic Village and the city for the benefit of the athletes. 文化活动也将因之而每一年开展，从2005年至2008年，我们将举办多元化的文化节目，如音乐会、展览会、美术比赛和夏令营，将涉及来自世界各地的青少年。奥运会期间，他们将分别在奥运村和所有受惠的运动员活动。

Our Ceremonies will give China\'s greatest-and the world\'s greatest artists a stage for celebrating the common aspirations of humanity and the unique heritage of our culture and the Olympic Movement. 开幕式我们将给予我国在世界最大的艺术舞台，欢庆共同愿望和人们独特的文化遗产——我们的文化和奥林匹克运动所带来的魅力。

With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese.Carrying the meage \"Share the Peace, Share the Olympics,\" the eternal flame will reach new heights as it croes the Himalayas over the world\'s highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt.Everest.In China, the flame will pa through Tibet, cro the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society.On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay. 着名的丝绸之路的开创，我们的火炬接力将有新的突破，从奥林匹亚通过一些最古老的国家的文明——希腊、罗马、埃及、拜占庭、不达米亚、波斯、阿拉伯、印度和中国。携带的信息“分享和平，分享奥运”永恒的火焰将达到新的高峰，因为它将穿越喜马拉雅山在世界的最高峰——珠穆朗玛峰，这是已知的许多你安居乐业。在中国，圣火还将穿过西藏，穿越长***与黄河，游历长城，并参观香港，澳门，台湾和56个民族的朋友，圣火传递时，火焰将被激励更多的人参与到奥林匹克的大家庭中。

I am afraid I can not present the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time.Before I end, let me share with you one story.Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible descriptions of a far away land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true.He answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you. 在这么短的时间里，我恐怕不能介绍现在的中华全貌与我们的文化，在我结束前，让我跟大家分享这样一个故事，七百年前，马可波罗来到中国，他惊讶的不得了，当他描述在一个遥远的国家非常美丽，人们问马可波罗他在中国的故事是不是真的，他回答道：我告诉你的连我看到的一半都没有达到。其实，我们已经介绍的只是一小部分，北京正在等待着你！

第15篇：杨澜TED全英文演讲稿

Yang Lan: The generation that\'s remaking China

Please analyze the speech in terms of the following aspects: 1.The three major components : introduction, body and conclusion; how does the speaker achieve coherence in the body part and present her opinions clearly? 2.What method does the speaker use to make her speech more appealing? The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of \"China\'s Got Talent\" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.Gue who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, \"I\'m going to Scotland the next day.\" She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese] So it\'s not like \"hello\" or \"thank you,\" that ordinary stuff.It means \"green onion for free.\" Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn\'t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter) And the last sentence of Neun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was \"green onion for free.\" So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious.So I gue both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherne.They were the least expected to be succeful in the busine called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.Well, being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives.But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witne and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it\'s still there.So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, \"So, Mi Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?\" I summoned my courage and poise and said, \"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?\" I didn\'t have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls.The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face.So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, \"Why [do] women\'s personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can\'t they have their own ideas and their own voice?\" I thought I kind of offended them.But actually, they were impreed by my words.And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth.After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it.So I was on a national television prime-time show.And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script.(Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I\'ve interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, \"Lan, you changed my life,\" and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witne the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing\'s bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I\'m thinking, what are today\'s young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world? So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media.First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful.She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter.And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cro at the Chamber of Commerce.She didn\'t realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cro.The controversy was so heated that the Red Cro had to open a pre conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be aociated with charity.All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cro at Chamber of Commerce.It\'s very complicated to explain.But anyway, the public still doesn\'t buy it.It is still boiling.It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past.And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled.Sina.com, a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger -- it\'s not me -- it\'s a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old.And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit.But because you don\'t have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.So how are they different? First of all, most of them were born in the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy.And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women.That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we\'re in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.Most of them have fairly good education.The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent.In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030.And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they\'re sick.So it means young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people.College graduates are not in short supply.In urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.So what do they do? They have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves \"tribe of ants.\" And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it\'s 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas.Most of them don\'t want to go back to the countryside, but they don\'t have the sense of belonging.They work for longer hours with le income, le social welfare.And they\'re more vulnerable to job loes, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce.Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside, they find themselves very welcome locally, because with the knowledge, skills and networks they have learned in the cities, with the aistance of the Internet, they\'re able to create more jobs, upgrade local agriculture and create new busine in the le developed market.So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background.The first one is the Engels coefficient, which explains that the cost of daily neceities has dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent.But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost.The Gini coefficient has already paed the dangerous line of 0.4.Now it\'s 0.5 -- even worse than that in America -- showing us the income inequality.And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also, the bitterne and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread.So any accusations of corruption or backdoor dealings between authorities or busine would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a maive urbanization and development have let us witne a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet, people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council paed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and paed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other iues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.And gue what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they\'re a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.China is soon to pa the U.S.as the number one market for luxury brands -- that\'s not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere.But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S.dollars.They\'re not rich at all.They\'re taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called \"naked\" wedding, or \"naked\" marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homele and kidnapped dogs for food proceing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find miing children.A father posted his son\'s picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witneed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happine is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.Happine is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it\'s about the environment.People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the system of self-correctne to keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time? I gue these are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generation is going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.

第16篇：2001年杨澜申奥演讲稿

Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen,Good afternoon! 主席先生，各位来宾，大家午安！

Before I introduce our cultural programs, only tell you one thing first about 2008.You\'re going to have a great time in Beijing.在我介绍我们的文化节目，首先我要告诉你一件有关于2008的事，你将在北京度过一段美好的时光。

Many people are fascinated by China\'s sport legends in the history.For example, back to Song Dynasty, which was the 11th century, people in our country started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football.The game was so popular that women were also participating.So Now, you would probably understand why our women\'s football team does so well today.很多人都对中国历史上的体育传奇感兴趣。例如，早在宋代，大约11世纪，人们开始玩一个叫蹴鞠的游戏，这被看作是足球古老的起源。这个游戏很受欢迎，妇女也来参加。现在，你就会明白，为什么我们的女子足球队这么厉害了。

There are a lot more wonderful and exciting events waiting for you in the New Beijing, a modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry.Along with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city also offers an endle mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls which will amaze you and delight you.还有更多精彩的事物在等着你。在新北京，一个充满活力的现代化大都市，交织3000年的文化宝藏的城市面貌，伴随着象征意象的紫禁城、天坛、万里长城正在向您展开，这个城市有着多样的的影院、博物馆、舞厅、各种餐馆和购物中心，正在让您感到惊喜与兴奋。

Cultural events will unfold each year, from 2005 to 2008.We will stage multi-disciplined cultural programs,indluding concerts, exhibitions, art competitions and camps which will involve young people from around the world.During the Olympics, these activites will also be held in the Olympic Village and in the city for the benefit of the athletes.文化活动也将因之而每一年开展，从2005年至2008年，我们将举办多元化的文化节目，如音乐会、展览会、美术比赛和夏令营，将涉及来自世界各地的青少年。奥运会期间, 这些活动还将为运动员们在奥运村和所在城市举办。

With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese.Carrying the meage \"Share the Peace, Share the Olympics,\" the eternal flame will reach new heights as it croes the Himalayas over the world\'s highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt.Everest.In China, the torch will pa through Tibet, cro the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up all our society.On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.基于丝绸之路带来的灵感，我们的火炬接力将有新的突破，从奥林匹亚开始，穿越一些最古老的国家文明古国——希腊、罗马、埃及、拜占庭、美索不达米亚、波斯、阿拉伯、印度和中国。携带的信息“分享和平，分享奥运”永恒的火焰将达到新的高峰，因为它将穿越喜马拉雅山在世界的最高峰——珠穆朗玛峰。在中国，圣火还将穿过西藏，穿越长江与黄河，游历长城，并拜访香港，澳门，台湾和56个民族的人们，在这一历程之中，圣火的观看人数将超越所有之前的传递，儿它也将被激励更多的人参与到奥林匹克的大家庭中。

I am afraid I can not give you the full picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time.Before I end, let me share with you one story.Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible description of a far away land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true.And Marco answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of the Beijing that awaits you.在这么短的时间里，我恐怕不能介绍现在的中华全貌与我们的文化，在我结束前，让我跟大家分享这样一个故事，七百年前，马可波罗来到中国，马可波罗曾对中国的美丽有过惊奇的描述，人们对他描述感到十分惊讶，人们问马可波罗他的故事是不是真的，他回答道：我告诉你的连我看到的一半都没有达到。其实,我们已经介绍的只是一小部分，北京正在等待着你！ Ladies and gentlemen，女士们，先生们，

I believe Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to all of you, to athletes, spectators, and world-wide television audience alike.Come and join us.Thank you, Mr president.Thank you all.Now I\'d like to give the floor back to Mr.He.我相信北京将向你们所有人证明它是一片神奇的土地, 不论是运动员，观众，还是全世界的电视观众。来吧，和我们一起来吧！谢谢主席先生。谢谢大家。现在再次由情何振梁先生

第17篇：杨澜英文演讲：重塑中国的一代

杨澜TED英文演讲： The generation that\'s remaking China The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of \"China\'s Got Talent\" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.Gue who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, \"I\'m going to Scotland the next day.\" She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese:送你葱] So it\'s not like \"hello\" or \"thank you,\" that ordinary stuff.It means \"green onion for free.\" Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn\'t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter) And the last sentence of Neun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was \"green onion for free.\" So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious.

So I gue both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherne.They were the least expected to be succeful in the busine called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.Well, being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives.But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witne and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it\'s still there.So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, \"So, Mi Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?\" I summoned my courage and poise and said, \"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?\" I didn\'t have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.

- 1traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit.But because you don\'t have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.So how are they different? First of all, most of them were born in the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy.And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women.That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we\'re in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.Most of them have fairly good education.The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent.In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030.And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they\'re sick.So it means young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.

So making a living is not that easy for young people.College graduates are not in short supply.In urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.So what do they do? They have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves \"tribe of ants.\" And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it\'s 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas.Most of them don\'t want to go back to the countryside, but they don\'t have the sense of belonging.They work for longer hours with le income, le social welfare.And they\'re more vulnerable to job loes, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce.Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside, they find themselves very welcome locally, because with the knowledge, skills and networks they have

- 3clothes as a sense of identity and social status.And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called \"naked\" wedding, or \"naked\" marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homele and kidnapped dogs for food proceing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find miing children.A father posted his son\'s picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witneed the reunion of the family through microblogging.

Thank you very much.(Applause)

Yang Lan: The generation that\'s remaking China

[Chinese]So it\'s not like \"hello\" or \"thank you,\" that ordinary stuff.It means \"green onion for free.\" Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn\'t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter) And the last sentence of Neun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was \"green onion for free.\" So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious.

(Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I\'ve interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, \"Lan, you changed my life,\" and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witne the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing\'s bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I\'m thinking, what are today\'s young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?

to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women.That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we\'re in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.Most of them have fairly good education.The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent.In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030.And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they\'re sick.So it means young coupleswill have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.

inequality.And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also, the bitterne and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread.So any accusations of corruptionor backdoor dealings between authorities or busine would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.

volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find miing children.A father posted his son\'s picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witneed the reunion of the family through microblogging.

So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council paed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and paed the right to order forced demolition from local governments

to the court.Similarly, many other iues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.And gue what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.

Thank you very much.

杨澜TED演讲：重塑中国的一代中文演讲稿

在来爱尔兰的前一晚，我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。

猜猜谁是表演嘉宾？——苏珊大妈。我告诉她，“我明天要去爱尔兰了。” 她歌声犹如天籁。而且她还可以说点中文。

“送你葱。” 这不是“你好、谢谢”之类的日常用语。这组词翻译过来是免费给你青葱，为什么她要说这个呢？因为这是我们中国版的苏珊大妈很有名的一句歌词。

这位五十几岁的大妈在上海以贩卖蔬菜为生。她喜欢西方的歌剧，但是她不懂任何外语，所以她就把中文蔬菜名填做歌词。当她在体育场里唱到今夜无人入眠的最后一句时，她唱的是“送你葱”。苏珊大妈和全场八万观众一起唱“送你葱”，多有意思的场面。

我想苏珊大妈和这位在上海做蔬菜买卖的都属于不同寻常的人。在业界所谓的娱乐圈，他们最不可能取得成功，但是他们的勇气和才华让他们成功了。一场秀，一个平台给了他们实现梦想的舞台。

与众不同不难，从不同的角度看我们都是不一样的。我认为与众不同是好的，因为你有不同的看法，这给你机会去产生不同的影响。

我们这代人有幸见证和参与了过去二三十年中国的历史性的转型。

我记得在九十年代，刚从大学毕业的我申请了一份在北京五星级酒店销售部的工作。在日本经理一个半小时的面试后，他最后说：“杨小姐，你有什么问题要问我吗？”我鼓起勇气，定定神然后问道：“您能告诉我销售部到底销售什么？”我对于五星级酒店的销售部的职责一点都摸不着头脑。那是我在五星级酒店的第一天。

同时，我和上千名大学女生参加了一场由中国中央电视台举办的史无前例的公开选拔。制作人告诉我们他们想找一位可爱，天真，美丽的新面孔。当轮到我时，我站起来说道，“为什么女孩在电视上必须是漂亮，甜美，无邪的，像个花瓶？为什么她们不能有她们的想法，她们自己的声音？”

我想我一定得罪了评委。但是事实上，我的发言给他们留下了深刻的印象。接下来我进入了第二轮的选拔，然后是第三轮，第四轮。在经过七轮的选拔后，我胜出了。成为了一个国家电视台黄金时段节目的主持人。

不管你们相不相信，那是中国电视上第一个节目可以允许主持人自由发挥而不是去读审查后的稿子。这个节目的观众人数高达两到三千万。

几年后，我决定去美国哥伦比亚大学进修。之后我有了自己的传媒公司，这是在我刚毕业的时候想都不敢想的。

我和我的团队做了很多事情。在过去的这些年，我采访了上千人。有时候有年轻人走过来对我说：“杨澜，你改变了我的生活。”我也为此而自豪。

接下来我们一起见证了中国更多的变化。我参与了北京申奥，出席了上海世博会。我看到中国拥抱世界，世界接纳中国„„但是有时候我在想，当今的年轻人追求什么？他们有什么不同？他们如何去创造中国的未来，往大了说，世界的未来？

今天我想讲讲在社交媒体这个大舞台上的年轻人

他们是谁？他们是怎样的？这个二十岁左右的漂亮女孩叫郭美美。她在中国版的推特--微博上炫耀她拥有的昂贵的手包，衣服，车子。她自称是红十字商会的经理。她没有意识到她踩到了一根敏感的神经，引起了全民对于红十字公信力的质疑。如此激烈的质问使得红

十字会不得不召开记者招待会进行澄清，并且伴随着调查的展开。

至此，我们知道是她自己编造的头衔，大概是觉得和慈善有关事件有面子的事情。所有的奢侈品都是她的男朋友送给她的，她男朋友曾经是红十字下属商会的董事成员。这个关系解释起来太复杂了。但是不管怎么说，公众不买账。这个话题始终热议与街头巷尾。这件事揭示了公众对于缺乏透明度的政府及政府机构普遍的不信任。

微博在2010火了起来。玩微博的人翻了一番，织微博的时间也是过去的三倍了。单单新浪这个主要的新闻门户网站就拥有一千四百万微博使用者。腾讯有两千万。首屈一指的微博，不是我，是一个电影明星，她拥有超过95万粉丝。大约百分之八十的微博使用者是三十岁以下的年轻人。

如你所知，传统媒体依然由政府掌控，社交媒体给人们一个宣泄的小出口。因为没有更多的宣泄渠道，来自社交媒体的宣泄是强大的，积极的，甚至是暴力的。

通过微博我们可以更好的了解中国的年轻人。他们有怎样的不同？

首先他们中的大多数出生于独生子女政策开始实施的上世纪八九十年代。因为很多家庭喜欢男孩多于女孩，现在我们年轻男性多于年轻女性近三百万。这可能造成社会潜在的危险，可是谁知道呢？在这个全球化的时代，他们可以找别的国家的女孩做女朋友。

他们中的大多数接受了很好的教育。文盲率在这一代人低于百分之一。在城市，百分之八十的孩子进入大学。

但是老龄化问题也不容忽视。今年的统计显示超过六十五岁的人占总人口的百分之七，到2030年将达到百分之十五，你们知道在我们的传统文化中年轻人要赡养老人。这就意味着年轻的夫妇要赡养四位平均寿命为七十三岁的老人。因此养家糊口对于年轻人并不是件轻松的事。

大学毕业生并非供不应求。在城市，大学毕业生的起薪大约四百美元一个月，可是仅仅房租就要超过五百美元一个月。这让他们怎么应对？他们不得不合租，为了省房租挤在逼仄的小房间里，他们称自己为蚁族。而对于那些将要结婚的并且准备买房的年轻人，他们必须要工作三十到四十年才能负担起自己的第一套公寓。当对于美国人来说只需要五年就能负担得起，但是面对中国奇高的房价却需要三十到四十年。

在两千万外来务工者中，有百分之六十的人是年轻人。他们如同一块三明治被夹在城市和乡村中间。大多数都不愿再回到乡下，但是他们在城市却没有归属感。超时工作，低薪，无法享受社会福利。受通货膨胀，银根紧缩，人民币升值的影响，他们生产的产品在欧美国家的需求量下降，这使他们更容易失业。

去年，在南方某个OEM生产原地发生了骇人听闻的事件：十三个年纪在二十岁左右的工人自杀，一个接着一个的自杀仿佛感染了传染性疾病。虽然他们的自杀的原因各有不同，可是这个事件引起了巨大的社会舆论，对于外来务工人员在身体上，精神上的隔离，对于那些回到乡下的打工者，他们受到了当地的热烈欢迎。这是因为他们在城市中所学到的知识技能，在网络的帮助下，让他们能够创造更多的工作机会，提升当地的农业发展水平，在欠发达地区创造新的商机。因此，在沿海地区发生了劳动力缺乏的问题。

从一方面看起来，年轻人已参与到公共政策的制定中，但是从另一方面看，他们对于自己个人生活的需要有着些许的迷失。中国会超过美国成为世界第一的奢侈品消费市场，这还不包括中国人在欧洲及其他地区的消费。

但是你知道吗？半数的消费者的薪水低于两千美元。他们一点都不富裕。他们把这些包，衣服作为标榜他们身份和社会地位的象征。

在一档电视约会秀中，一个女孩直白的说她宁愿在宝马车中哭泣也不愿在自行车上

笑。当然，我们有年轻人喜欢笑，不管在宝马车中还是自行车上。

在下一张图片里，你看到一个非常流行的现象叫做”裸婚“。这不是说他们在婚礼上不穿衣服，这是在说即使没有房子，车子，没有钻石戒指和盛大的婚礼，这些年轻夫妇也愿意结成连理，显示他们对于爱情的承诺。

通过社交媒体，人们做着好的事。第一张图片告诉我们，整个国家通过微博看到了这装有500只将用于食品加工的流浪狗的卡车被发现并且截停在高速公路上。人们自愿捐款，送狗粮并且自愿去截停这辆卡车。在数小时的协商下，五百只流浪狗被解救了。

还有人帮助寻找走失的小孩。一位父亲在网上上传了儿子的照片。在成千上万的转发后，孩子找到了，我们也通过微博见证了这家人的重聚。

在过去的两年里幸福是我们听到的最流行的词。

幸福不仅仅是个人的经历和个人价值，幸福也关乎环境。人们在思考这样的问题：我们真的要为了更高的GDP去牺牲我们的环境吗？

我们如何在实施我们社会政治改革的同时，保持经济增长的可持续性和稳定性？

一个系统的自我更正能力如何让更多的人对于同时发生的各种摩擦满意？

我想这些问题将会被解答。
