TED英文演说-我从100天的拒绝中学到了什么（中英演说稿）.pdf

What I learned from100 days of rejection Jia Jiang 2016 When I was six years old, I received my gifts. My first grade teacher had this brilliant idea. She wanted us to experience receiving gifts but also learning the virtue of complimenting each other. 当我6 岁的时候，我收到了份礼物。我一年级的老师有一个很棒的主意。她想让 我们在接受礼物的同时还能学习如何表扬他人。 So she had all of us come to the front of the classroom, and she bought all of us gifts and stacked them in the corner. 所以她让我们走到教室前面，她给我们每个人带了礼物，堆在墙角。 And she said, Why dont we just stand here and compliment each other? If you hear your name called, go and pick up your gift and sit down. What a wonderful idea, right? What could go wrong? 然后她说：“让我们在这里互相表扬吧。如果你听到有谁表扬你，就去拿一份礼 物然后回座位。”多棒的主意，对吗？能出什么差错呢？ Well, there were 40 of us to start with, and every time I heard someones name called, I would give out the heartiest cheer. And then there were 20 people left, and 10 people left, and five left ... and three left. And I was one of them. And the compliments stopped. Well, at that moment,I was crying. And the teacher was freaking out. 我们一共有40 个孩子，每一次别人被叫到名字，我都会很高兴的叫好。然后剩 下20个人，然后10个人， 5个人……最后剩下了3个人。而我是其中一个。 再也没有表扬了。就在那时，我开始哭，老师也不知所措。 Shewaslike,Hey,wouldanyonesayanythingniceaboutthesepeople?No one?OK,whydontyougogetyourgiftandsitdown.Sobehavenextyear— someonemightsaysomethingniceaboutyou. 1 第 页 她说：“嘿，有没有人愿意表扬一下这些同学？”“没有吗？好吧。那你们去拿一 份礼物然后回座位吧。明年要好好表现哦，说不定会有人表扬你。” Well, as Im describing this you, you probably knowI remember this really well. But I dont know who felt worse that day. Was it me or the teacher? She must have realized that she turned a team-building event into a public roast for three six-year-olds. And without the humor. 你看我记得如此清楚，因为这是我心里永远的痛。但我不知道当天谁的感觉更糟 糕，我还是我的老师？她一定意识到自己把一个团队建设活动变成了 3 个 6
