最全面的TED演讲:不要再滥用Awesome

  TED演讲文本:

  0:12

  How many times have you used the word "awesome" today? Once? Twice? Seventeen times? Doyou remember what you were describing when you used the word? No, I didn't think so, becauseit's come down to this, people: You're using the word incorrectly, and tonight I hope to show youhow to put the "awe" back in "awesome."

  0:32

  Recently, I was dining at an outdoor cafe, and the server came up to our table, and asked us if wehad dined there before, and I said, "Yes, yes, we have." And she said, "Awesome." And I thought, "Really? Awesome or just merely good that we decided to visit your restaurant again?"

  0:53

  The other day, one of my coworkers asked me if I could save that file as a PDF, and I said, "Well,of course," and he said, "Awesome." Seriously, can saving anything as a PDF be awesome?

  1:10

  Sadly, the frequent overuse of the word "awesome" has now replaced words like "great" and"thank you." So Webster's dictionary defines the word "awesome" as fear mingled with admirationor reverence, a feeling produced by something majestic. Now, with that in mind, was your Quiznossandwich awesome? How about that parking space? Was that awesome? Or that game the otherday? Was that awesome? The answer is no, no and no. A sandwich can be delicious, that parkingspace can be nearby, and that game can be a blowout, but not everything can be awesome. (Laughter)

  1:55

  So when you use the word "awesome" to describe the most mundane of things, you're takingaway the very power of the word. This author says, "Snowy days or finding money in your pantsis awesome." (Laughter) Um, no, it is not, and we need to raise the bar for this poor schmuck. (Laughter)

  2:18

  So in other words, if you have everything, you value nothing. It's a lot like drinking from afirehose like this jackass right here. There's no dynamic, there's no highs or lows, if everything isawesome.

  2:33

  Ladies and gentlemen, here are 10 things that are truly awesome.

  2:37

  Imagine, if you will, having to schlep everything on your back. Wouldn't this be easier for me if Icould roll this home? Yes, so I think I'll invent the wheel. The wheel, ladies and gentlemen. Is thewheel awesome? Say it with me. Yes, the wheel is awesome!

  2:56

  The Great Pyramids were the tallest man-made structure in the world for 4,000 years. Pharaohhad his slaves move millions of blocks just to this site to erect a big freaking headstone. Were theGreat Pyramids awesome? Yes, the pyramids were awesome.

  3:14

  The Grand Canyon. Come on. It's almost 80 million years old. Is the Grand Canyon awesome? Yes,the Grand Canyon is.

  3:22

  Louis Daguerre invented photography in 1829, and earlier today, when you whipped out yoursmartphone and you took a shot of your awesome sandwich, and you know who you are — (Laughter) — wasn't that easier than exposing the image to copper plates coated with iodizedsilver? I mean, come on. Is photography awesome? Yes, photography is awesome.

  3:46

  D-Day, June 6, 1944, the Allied invasion of Normandy, the largest amphibious invasion in worldhistory. Was D-Day awesome? Yes, it was awesome.

  3:58

  Did you eat food today? Did you eat? Then you can thank the honeybee, that's the one, becauseif crops aren't pollinated, we can't grow food, and then we're all going to die. It's just like that. Butit's not like a flower can just get up and have sex with another flower, although that would beawesome. (Laughter) Bees are awesome. Are you kidding me?

  4:22

  Landing on the moon! Come on! Apollo 11. Are you kidding me? Sixty-six years after the WrightBrothers took off from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Neil Armstrong was 240,000 miles away. That'slike from here to the moon. (Laughter) That's one small step for a man, one giant leap forawesome! You're damn right, it was.

  4:49

  Woodstock, 1969: Rolling Stone Magazine said this changed the history of rock and roll. Ticketswere only 24 dollars back then. You can't even buy a freaking t-shirt for that now. Jimi Hendrix'sversion of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was the most iconic. Was Woodstock awesome? Yes, itwas awesome.

  5:10

  Sharks! They're at the top of the food chain. Sharks have multiple rows of teeth that grow in theirjaw and they move forward like a conveyor belt. Some sharks can lose 30,000 teeth in theirlifetime. Does awesome inspire fear? Oh, hell yeah, sharks are awesome!

  5:30

  The Internet was born in 1982 and it instantly took over global communication, and later tonight,when all these PowerPoints are uplifted to the Internet so that a guy in Siberia can get drunk andwatch this crap, the Internet is awesome.

  5:49

  And finally, finally some of you can't wait to come up and tell me how awesome my PowerPointwas. I will save you the time. It was not awesome, but it was true, and I hope it was entertaining,and out of all the audiences I've ever had, y'all are the most recent. Thank you and good night.

  0:12

  今天你们用了多少次“棒极了”这个词? 一次?两次? 十七次? 你还记得用这词的时候 是在说什么吗? 我猜你不记得了, 因为其实,各位: …这词你们用错了。 而今晚我希望可以展示 怎么把 “敬畏” 放还回 “棒极了”这种描述之中。

  0:32

  最近,我在一个露天咖啡店吃东西, 有个服务员走到我们桌边, 问我们以前有没有来过, 然后我回答, “有,我们来过。” 她说, “棒极了"。 我想, “你认真的? 我们再次来你的咖啡店 是'棒极了'还是仅仅是'挺好的'?"

  0:53

  有一天,一个同事问我是否 可以把那个文档保存成PDF, 然后我说, "当然可以,“ 他也说, "棒极了。” 老实说,把文档保存成PDF都算 “棒极了”吗?

  1:10

  可惜,频繁过度使用的“棒极了” 已经取代了其他词, 比如 “很好” 和 "谢谢“。 韦氏字典把“棒极了”定义为 畏惧参杂着倾慕或崇敬的感觉, 一种由雄伟壮观的 事物引发的情感。 请记住这个定义, 你的Quiznos三明治是 “棒极了” 吗? 那个停车位是“棒极了”吗? 或者那天的比赛也是“棒极了”吗? 回答是:不是,不是和不是。 一份三明治可以美味, 那个停车位可以在附近, 还有那个比赛可以是狂胜, 但不是所有事情都是“棒极了”。 (笑声)

  1:55

  所以你们用“棒极了”这词 描述最平凡的东西的时候, 你们忽略了这个单词 所能表达的力量。 这个作者说, “雪天 或者在裤子找到钱是'棒极了'。” (笑声) 啊,不,不是, 我们要为这个屌丝提高标准。 (笑声)

  2:18

  所以换句话说,如果 你拥有一切,你就不会去重视它们。 很像用消防水带喝水, 像这个蠢货一样。 如果所有的事都是“棒极了”, 就没有动态变化,没有高低比较了。

  2:33

  诸位,这里有十件东西 真正是“棒极了”的。

  2:37

  设想,如果你必须 用你的后背背负一切。 如果能让它滚动着回家, 我是不是就可以轻松一点呢? 是的,所以我想我会发明那个轮子。 轮子,各位。 轮子“棒极了”吗?跟我一起说! 是,轮子是“棒极了”!

  2:56

  金字塔曾在4000年中 都是世界最高的 人造建筑。 法老叫他的奴隶搬几百万石块, 就为了去这个地方 竖起一块吓人的墓碑。 金字塔是“棒极了”吗? 是,金字塔是“棒极了”。

  3:14

  接着说,大峡谷。看吧! 差不多八千万岁了。 大峡谷是“棒极了”吗? 是,大峡谷是的。

  3:22

  1829年路易达盖尔发明了摄影, 今天稍早的时候, 你拿出手机, 拍你的‘棒极了’的三明治的时候, 你们知道我说的是谁— (笑声)— 难道不比把图像在覆盖了 碘化银的铜片上曝光容易吗? 我的意思是,摄影是“棒极了”吗? 是,摄影是“棒极了”。

  3:46

  诺曼底登陆日,1944年6月6日, 诺曼底盟军的进军, 世界历史最大的两栖进军。 诺曼底登陆日是“棒极了”吗? 是,是“棒极了”。

  3:58

  今天你们吃过东西吗?你吃了吗? 你得多谢蜜蜂,就是这只, 因为如果作物没有授粉, 我们就不能种植食物, 然后我们都会死。 就是这样。 但是并不是一朵花能直接起来 跟另一朵花配种, 虽然那会是“棒极了”。 (笑声) 蜜蜂是“棒极了”。不可思议是吧?

  4:22

  登陆月球!继续! 阿波罗11号。开玩笑吧? 莱特兄弟在北卡罗来纳州的基蒂霍克 第一次飞上天66年以后, 尼尔阿姆斯特朗 飞到了二十四万英里之远的地方。 就相当于从这里到月亮。 (笑声) 对一个人那是小步, 对“棒极了”却是一大步! 的确,确实是的。

  4:49

  1969年的伍德斯托克音乐节: 滚石杂志称 这件事改变了摇滚的历史。 当时票价只有24美元。 现在连一件该死的T恤都买不到。 吉米亨得里克斯版本的 “星条旗永不落” 是最标志性的。 伍德斯托克音乐节是“棒极了”吗? 是,是“棒极了”。

  5:10

  鲨鱼!它们在食物链顶端。 鲨鱼有好几列牙齿, 长在下巴上, 可以像输送带一样向前移动。 某些鲨鱼一生,会掉3万颗牙齿。 “棒极了”激发了恐惧吗? 噢,对,鲨鱼是“棒极了”! 互联网在1982年诞生,

  5:32

  它即刻占领了全球的通信, 今晚,当所有这些PPT 上传到网上的时候, 远在西伯利亚的'某个人也能酩酊大醉地 观看这堆废话, 互联网是“棒极了”。 最后,最后你们有些人等不及

  5:51

  上来告诉我,我的PPT是"棒极了"的。 我会节约您的时间。 不是"棒极了"的,但都是真实的, 我希望它能博大家一笑, 另外在我所有的观众中, 你们是——最近的一批。 谢谢,晚安。 (掌声)

  扩展资料:

  其实很多人在演讲的时候,都会努力试图去“说服”对方,但这会让别人感觉受到了强迫。一个真正好的演讲不应该给人这种感觉,它不仅要让听众清晰地理解你的理念,并且还能认识到这种理念的双面性。

  1.概念生成

  思考5个“W”——“What”(你要表达什么)、“Who”(你将要对谁说)、“When”(你将在什么时机说)、“Why”(人们为什么要听你说)、“Wow”(想出一些惊人点,比如大发现、大数字、大进展等)。

  2.将点子组织罗列

  做初步筛选。挑选出最佳的点子,列个清单,并试图将这些点子进行归类。

  3.拟定目录

  接下来,你要做的就是将这些零散的点子理出逻辑,进而制定出整体目录。

  4.将内容组织成PPT(无设计)

  暂时抛开天花乱坠的设计,毕竟如果内容不好,再好的设计也是浪费。所以在这一步,你只需要将全部内容拆分,将它们适当地填入空白的PPT页面,并在此基础上做初步修改。

  5.设计你的PPT

  是时候决定你的故事长什么样子了。挑选适宜的PPT模板,严格配合你的内容进行设计排版。

  6.完善内容以适宜演讲

  试着开口宣读你的演讲稿,除了熟悉内容,当你真正开口讲话时,你就会很轻易的发现稿子中的问题,你需要对这些你认为与你演讲不相配的内容进行修整。

  7.演练你的演讲,进行终极编辑

  在正式登上讲台之前,请你提前做几次演练。你可以为自己计时、对着镜子训练自己的动作及表情、为自己录音(外界听你的声音和你听自己的声音是不一样的,如果你为自己录音,可能会发现不少问题,比如你可能会听到自己说了不少“嗯”、“呃”、“然后”......通过听录音你可以注意纠正自己,避免这些使你被扣分的口头禅)。

  8.在聚光灯下尽情表演吧!

  你要学会充分利用你的空间,比如成“W”型行走,这可以帮助你放松,也可以帮助你与听众良好互动。你可以在演讲前做做夸张的表情来放松你的面部肌肉,说绕口令和唱歌以将自己的口齿及嗓音预热到一个良好的状态。等你登上讲台,请你足够自信,你已经做好了足够充分的准备,请你尽情表演吧!
