TED中英官方演讲稿-SimonAnholt_2014S哪个国家对世界最有益.docx

1.Ive been thinking a lot about the world recently and how its changed over the last 20, 30, 40 years. 最近我常常思考我们的世界 以及它在过去的20，30，40年里经历了何等的转变2.Twenty or 30 years ago, if a chicken caught a cold and sneezed and died in a remote village in East Asia, it would have been a tragedy for the chicken 20或30年前， 如果在东亚一个遥远村落里，一只鸡 患了感冒，打个喷嚏然后死了， 对那只鸡和它的近亲来说3.and its closest relatives, but I dont think there was much possibility of us fearing a global pandemic and the deaths of millions. 可能是个灾难， 但我想我们不太可能会 因此而担心全球流行病 和数百万人的死亡。4.Twenty or 30 years ago, if a bank in North America lent too much money to some people who couldnt afford to pay it back and the bank went bust, 20或30年前，如果北美的一家银行 借出了太多钱 给那些无力偿还的人 并因此而倒闭了，5.that was bad for the lender and bad for the borrower, but we didnt imagine it would bring the global economic system to its knees for nearly a decade. 只是借贷双方 运气不好而已， 但我们不会想到 这会给全球经济系统带来 将近10年的瘫痪期。6.This is globalization. 这就是全球化。7.This is the miracle that has enabled us to transship our bodies and our minds and our words and our pictures and our ideas and our teaching and our learning around the planet 这就是奇迹，它已经让 我们的身体，我们的头脑、 我们的语言、图像以及我们的思想、 还有我们的教育和学习都围绕这个星球8.ever faster and ever cheaper. 运转得更快、成本更低。9.Its brought a lot of bad stuff, like the stuff that I just described, but its also brought a lot of good stuff. 它带来很多坏事， 比如我刚才举的例子。 但它也带来许多好事。10.A lot of us are not aware of the extraordinary successes of the Millennium Development Goals, several of which have achieved their targets 我们当中很多人并不了解 千禧年发展目标取得了非凡的成就， 有几个远在截止日期之前11.long before the due date. 就完成了预定目标。12.That proves that this species of humanity is capable of achieving extraordinary progress if it really acts together and it really tries hard. 这证明了人类这个物种 能够取得超凡的进展， 如果我们真正地一起合作并努力的话。13.But if I had to put it in a nutshell these days, I sort of feel that globalization has taken us by surprise, and weve been slow to respond to it. 但如果我简明扼要地说， 我觉得全球化有点儿 让我们措手不及， 我们对它的回
