change the unchangeable

时间:2024.5.9

When I was about 10 years old in primary school, I believed that my future would have nothing to do with two things: music and English. Now, I play my guitar nearly every day and in the near future I will be hosting an English salon.

Changing the unchangeable seemed to be a mission impossible to me at first sight, but then it dawned on me that to say whether one thing is unchangeable or not is sometimes quite a personal judgment. It might be our fear, indecisiveness or carelessness that prevent us from finding the solutions. We are just sometimes too used to the settled plans, customs and routines that we fail to come up with the idea of making changes. To change the unchangeable is just like to give a good speech on the stage that the priority is always to jump out of the box and see the things from different perspectives.

Impassioned speech

Landmark

On Friday, first lady Michelle Obama gave an impassioned speech on diversity to high school graduates in Topeka, Kansas, where the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case started. 周五,在堪萨斯州托皮卡市,美国第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马就高中毕业生多样化发展作了激情的演讲。美国历史上意义重大的布朗诉托皮卡教育局案就发生在托皮卡市。

You all are the living, breathing legacy of this case, ” Obama said. “Many districts in this country have pulled back on efforts to integrate their schools. Many communities have become less diverse."

Obama also delivered the commencement address to graduates of Dillard University in New Orleans.

米歇尔也在新奥尔良市的迪拉德大学作毕业典礼演讲。

“No dream is too big, no vision is too bold, " she said on May 10. "As long as we stay hungry for education and let that hunger be our North Star, there is nothing, graduates, nothing, that we cannot achieve.”

她在5月10号说:“梦想没有极限,远见还需大胆。只要我们渴望知识,把这渴望当做指引我们的北极星,同学们,那就没有什么事是办不成的。”

At the University of Massachusetts Lowell on Sunday, Bill Nye had a similar message for graduates: "Change the world."

星期天,比尔·内在马萨诸塞大学卢维尔分校也向毕业生传达了相似的信息:“改变世界”。 "I'm not kidding. Change the world in new, exciting and big ways, " Nye, better known as "The Science Guy, " said. "Keep reaching. Keep seeking. Keep using your abilities to bring out the best in those around you, and let them bring out the best in you."

内是一位著名的科普专家,他说:“这不是开玩笑。用全新、全面、振奋人心的方式去改变这个世界吧。不断攀登,不断探索,用你们的能力把最好的东西奉献给周围的人,同样,你周围的人也会这样影响着你。”

Nye also railed against climate-change deniers. "Conspiracy theories are for lazy people, " he said. "People that don't want to get down to the business at hand. ... Instead of just doing less, we

have to find ways of doing more with less. That's the key to the future." Also, he added, "if you smell fresh paint, don't walk under the ladder."

内也责骂那些否认气候变化的人。他说:“阴谋论是为懒人准备的。那些不愿办正事的人们??我们必须找到方法,有更多地行动,这才是未来的关键。”他还说,“如果你看到危险,就别再靠近。”

问:大家有没想过change the unchangeable的目的是什么或者不改变坚持自我的木的是什么

to excel yourself

make differences

我觉得是为了更好地去适应世界,去给世界带来活力

看了窃听风云3.里面黄磊对叶璇说,我以为和你在一起,我就能做个好人。

他想改变不能改变的人性。

是让我们挑战权威?

西西弗斯推巨石,为了什么?因为他被诅咒了。我认为人类就是被诅咒了。

我们有改变的渴望,强烈的渴望让我们去挑战自己(aspiration),超越自己(exceed),让世界因自己的存在.这是强者的精神追求,是人类战胜自我的一个艰难的涅磐。

人一生能够做些什么?什么样的生活才叫有意义?

追求自己的理想,为理想的事业而活着,是一种选择。

George Mallory

乔治马洛里,他之前尝试过攀登珠峰,但是失败了,go away了,去之前人们问他问什么要选择那座山,他说because it is there

“你们为什么要去登珠穆朗玛?”美国《纽约时报》记者问英国登山家乔治·马洛里。“Because it is there(因为山在那里)。”这是19xx年在珠峰8100米处遇难的马洛里留给后人的名言。 一幅书法置于案头,“山在那边”。众人观赏。何意?有人不解。孟老说:“那就是一种对未来的憧憬,一种期待。”我想此话确有道理。 未知的前方总是充满神秘、惊险、刺激,新高度、新成就成了人类永远的憧憬和追求。未知的那座山激励着人们不放弃、不停步。 山,值得景仰;山,值得期待;山,值得向往。期待美好的一切,期待本身就是一种美好。 it is the widest dream\

所以,如果你不懂得人的内心有种东西能对这座山的挑战作出响应,并且上前迎接这种挑战,不懂得这种奋争正是生活本身向上并且永远向上的奋争,那你将不会懂得我们为什么要去。我们从这个冒险中得到的是纯粹的欢乐。而追究到低,欢乐是生活的终极目的。我们不为了吃饭和赚钱而活着。我们吃饭和赚钱为了能从生活中得到欢乐。这是生活的涵义和生活的目的。”

"Why do we travel to remote locations? To prove our a or to tell stories about incredible things? We do it to be alone amongst friends and to find ourselves in a land without man."

即使失败也要从头在来what if we fall down,at least we are yong.

just follow my heart?

@山财-Jerry 有句话叫:你还在,我就爱。一个意思。

以至于后来,克林顿吧,好像是,在美国赖斯大学演讲的时候引用这语话,让我感触很大。

推荐大家看一份演讲,why we choose the moon

可能因为我是文科生,所以对这个演讲感触很大。对冷战的认识,对我们对未来的渴望,对我们对探索的无畏等等,都有新的认识

queer as flok同志亦凡人

我对于历史,法律,政治比较有兴趣。平时喜欢看政治脱口秀,法律剧,还有历史纪录片。我很有求知欲,学习新知识是最让我满足的。

他看了几千集美剧,

几百部电影,

积累了很多地道的表达和背景知识,

并且他在近

一年来开始看脱口秀和纪录片,对他的英语积累起到了非常大的帮助。他告诉我们,

“学习语言一定要保持大量的输入,光看课本是绝对不够的。还有就是要训练输出。我在校广播台录制了一年的脱口秀节目,语言组织能力获得了很大的提高。因为对话都是临场组织,不能有语法错误。录完之后,还要对节目进行剪辑。每周一次的节目,对我来说是很好的训练。笔者接着问道,他在语言学习的过程中,什么是他取得优异成绩的重要因素,他向我们总结道,融会贯通,归纳总结。他认为,学习语言是没有止境的,所以死记硬背效率非常低。我在新东方做助教的时候发现,托福听力的技巧可以用于口译,而GRE写作的素材在辩论中非常有用。生活中的许多东西是相通的,语言只是浅层的,真正需要学习的是逻辑思维,批判思考,还有学习的能力。我一般会用一个幽默的开场白吸引观众的注意力。笑声过后我在台上能清楚地看到很多观众抬起头来,微笑着看着我,这说明我已经成功地吸引到了他们。接下来就需要给出更实质的东西了,或是真情实感,或是奇思妙想,或是人生哲理,这需要不断地和观众互动,当观众在微笑,点头,赞叹的时候,说明你是成功的。很多演讲者喜欢引用名言或者名人事例,这当然不失为一种很好的方法,但是如果通篇演讲只有这些,则显得空洞无物,毫无吸引力。好的演讲在听过之后,一定会留下些什么,那些隽永的东西才是我们应该追求的。再就是语言需要雕琢,如果把很多演讲者的演讲稿写在纸上,常常经不起推敲。好的演讲稿需要好的语言,写在纸上,同样是一篇好文章。我偏爱使用押韵,对仗的修辞方法,创造出一些具有文学价值的“金句”。一篇演讲稿中只要有两三句这样的“金句”,通常就能大放异彩。语言值得玩味,内容余韵无穷,这才是一篇好的演讲。很多人花许多时间去练习演讲的仪表,这在我看来没有必要。如果你有东西要讲,你自然而然地就会散发出一种吸引力。可惜的是,许多人是不得不讲,却又无话可说。所以多读书,多思考,多经历才是正途。一个有故事的人绝对不会是一个不会讲故事的

Tonight, at a time when the pundits(博学者,权威人士) said it was no longer possible, we rose above the weight of our politics. We pushed back on the undue influence(不正当影响) of special interests. We didn't give in to mistrust or to cynicism(犬儒主义,愤世嫉俗) or to fear. Instead, we proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things and tackling our biggest challenges. We proved that this government -- a government of the people and by the people -- still works for the people.
