TED名人演講稿：大人可以跟孩子學什麼

i appreciate your attention today, because to show that you truly care, you listen. but there's a problem with this rosy picture of kids being so much better than adults. kids grow up and become adults just like you. (laughter) or just like you, really?

我非常感謝你們今天來聽我的演講，因為那說明你們真的在乎，你們在傾聽。但是對於“孩子比大人好太多” 這件事仍有一個問題。孩子們長大會變成像你們一樣的成人。(笑聲)就像你們這樣，真的嗎?

the goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather better adults than you have been, which may be a little challenging considering your guys credentials, but the way progress happens is because new generations and new eras grow and develop and become better than the previous ones.it's the reason we're not in the dark ages anymore. no matter your position of place in life, it is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away.

最終的目標並不是把孩子變成你們這種大人，而是變成比你們更好的大人，考慮到你們已經是比較成功的成人，這可能有一點難度。但是這個過程在發生，因為新的一代的成長和發展並變得比前一輩更好。這就是我們不再處於黑暗時代的原因。不論你處於生生活中何種狀態，為你的孩子創造機會很重要，這樣他們才能超越你們。

adults and fellow tedsters, you need to listen and learn from kids and trust us and expect more from us. you must lend an ear today, because we are the leaders of tomorrow, which means we're going to be taking care of you when you're old and senile. no, just kidding. no, really, we are going to be the next generation, the ones who will bring this world forward.

大人和ted的關注者們，你們需要從孩子那裡傾聽和學習，相信我們並且給我們更多期待。你們今天必須傾聽我們，因為我們是明天的領導者，因為我們會在你們年老力衰的時候照顧你們。不，開個玩笑。不，說真的，我們將會成為推動這個世界前進的下一代。

and, in case you don't think that this really has meaning for you, remember that cloning is possible, and that involves going through childhood again, in which case, you'll want to be heard just like my generation. now, the world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas. kids need opportunities to lead and succeed. are you ready to make the match? because the world's problems shouldn't be the human family's heirloom.

然而，如果您認為這個對您來說沒有意義，請記住克隆是可能的，那意味著你們將再次體驗童年，您會像我們這一代人一樣，渴望被傾聽。現在，世界應當為新的領導者和新思想提供機會。孩子們需要機會去領導和成功。你準備好與時俱進了嗎?因為我們不應當將前人的錯誤傳遞給下一代。
