大家好,最近有一种好好学习天天向上的心态,突然间的,可能是因为跟女朋友分手的缘故,总是认为自己还不够优秀。我的英语很差,差得离谱,但是我就有一种我可以考上研究生的错觉,为了这个错觉我打算试一试。
我对于演讲,很是喜欢,所以在自己学习英语的时候,就想到了英文演讲。
我想把演讲视频中,演讲者的语言都抄写下来,自己再慢慢的逐字逐句去理解,去感受,感受演讲的魅力,感受英语的魅力。
希望以下的内容可以对喜欢英语,想要学习英语的朋友们一点微薄的帮助。
《漫画的力量》
演讲者:Patrick Chappatte
I'm a newspaper cartoonist, political cartoonist.
I don't know if you've heard about it ——newtoonist? It's a sort of paper-based reader, It's lighter than on ipad, it's a bit cheaper.
You know what they say?
They say the print media is dying.
Who says that? Well, the media. But this is no news, righe?
You've read about it already.
Ladies and gentlemen, the world has gotten smaller. I know it's a cliche, but look.
Look how small,how tiny it has gotten.
And you know the reason why, of course, this is because of technology.
Any computer designers in the room?
You guys are making my life miserable, because track pads used to be round.
A nice round shape.
That makes a good cartoon.
But what are you going to do with a flat pad those square things? There's nothing I can do as a cartoonist.
Well, I know the world is flat now. And the Internet has veached every corner of the world, the poorest, the remotest places.
Every village in Africa now has a cyber cafe.
Don't go asking for a coffee there.
So we are bridging the digital divide. The third world is connected, we are connected.
And what happens next?
Well,you've got maill, the internet has empowered us.
It has empowered you.
It has empowered me.
It has empowered some other guys as well.
You know, these last two cartoons. I did live during a conference in Hanoi, and they were not used to that in communist 2.0 Vietnam.
So I was cartooning live on a wide screen, it was quite a sensation and then this guy came to me.
He was taking pictures of me and of my sketches, and I thought,
" This is great a vietnamese fan."
And as he come the second day, I thought,
" Wow,that's really a cartoon lover."
And on the third day, I finally understood. The guy was actually on duty.
So by now, there must be a hundred pictures of me. Smiling with my sketches in the files of the Vietnamese police.
No, but it's true: the internet has changde the world. It has rocked the music industry. It has changed the way we consume music.
For those of you old enough to remember we used to have to go to the store to steal it.
And it has changed the way your future employer will look at your application.
So be careful with that Facebook account.
Your momma told you, be careful.
And technology has set us free, this is free WiFi.
But yeah, It has liberated us from the office desk.
This is your life.
Enjoy it !
In short, technology, the internet they have changed our lifestyle.
Tech guru, like this man that a German magazine called the philosopher of the 21st century.
They are shaping the way we do things.
They are shaping the way we consume.
They are shaping our very desires.
You will not like it.
And technology has even changed our relationship to God.
I know,I shouldn't get into this, Religion and political cartoons.
他说风雨中这点痛算什么,
擦干泪不要问,
至少我们还有梦。
