1、TED?My seven-year-old grandson sleeps just down the hall from me,and he wakes up a lot of mornings and he says,You know,this could be the best day ever.And other times,in the middle of the night,he calls out in a tremulous voice,Nana,will you ever get sick and die?我七岁的孙就睡在我隔壁的房间，他常常在清晨醒来，然后说，“你知道，今天
2、也许会是最棒的天。”也有的时候，在午夜时分，他会怯的问我，“奶奶，你也会病和死亡吗？”I think this pretty much says it for me and most of the people I know,that were a mixed grill of happy anticipation and dread.So I sat down a few days before my 61st birthday,and I decided to compile a list of everything I know for sure.Theres so little tru
3、th in the popular culture,and its good to be sure of a few things.For instance,I am no longer 47,although this is the age I feel,and the age I like to think of myself as being.My friend Paul used to say in his late 70s that he felt like a young man with something really wrong with him.我想，我和多数我认识的 可能
4、都是这样，我们同时拥有着乐观与恐惧的情绪。所以在我61岁的前天，我坐下来，决定把我确信的切都列出来。流化中的真理太少了，能看清些事实是有益的。说，我已经不再是47岁了，虽然我依然觉得才47岁，我也希望直是47岁。我的朋友保罗在他80岁将时曾说，他觉得是个 体出了点故障的年轻。（笑声）Our true person is outside of time and space,but looking at the paperwork,I can,in fact,see that I was born in 1954.My inside self is outside of time and spac
5、e.It doesnt have an age.真正的我们不因时间和空间改变，但是当我看到那些书，事实上，我能认识到是1954年出的。我的内在不因时间和空间改变，它没有年龄。TEDtremulous adj.颤抖的anticipation n.期盼；期望compile v.编写Im every age Ive ever been,and so are you,although I cant help mentioning as an aside that it might have been helpful if I hadnt followed the skin care rules of
6、the 60s,which involved getting as much sun as possible while slathered in baby oil and basking in the glow of a tinfoil reflector shield.我存在于我所活过的每个年龄，你也样，虽然我不得不提句，如果我当时没有遵循60年代那套护肤理论可能会对我有好处，那会建议你尽可能多晒太阳，并涂抹厚厚的婴油，然后拿锡箔反光板来吸收更多阳光。It was so liberating,though,to face the truth that I was no longer in
7、the last throes of middle age,that I decided to write down every single true thing I know.People feel really doomed and overwhelmed these days,and they keep asking me whats true.So I hope that my list of things Im almost positive about might offer some basic operating instructions to anyone who is f
8、eeling really overwhelmed or beleaguered.不过，对现实也是种解脱，我再也不在中年之际作最后的挣扎，我也决定写下我所知道的每件真相。近来，们感到常绝望和茫然，他们不断问我什么是真的。所以我希望这些我确信的事情，可以向那些不知所措或陷困境的提供些基本的指引。Number one:the first and truest thing is that all truth is a paradox.Life is both a precious,unfathomably beautiful gift,and its impossible here,on the i
9、ncarnational side of things.Its been a very bad match for those of us who were born extremely sensitive.Its so hard and weird that we sometimes wonder if were being punked.Its filled simultaneously with heartbreaking sweetness and beauty,desperate poverty,floods and babies and acne and Mozart,all sw
10、irled together.I dont think its an ideal system.第：第个也是最真实的事情就是，所有真相都是有对的。命是精美绝伦的价之宝，同时从另看，它又是完全相反的。这对我们这些天敏感的来说，真是不相匹配啊。如此艰，以于有时候我们怀疑是不是被耍了。命同时充满了令碎的甜蜜和美丽，令绝望的贫困，以及洪、婴、粉刺和莫扎特，全都缠绕在起。我不认为这是个理想的体系。slatherv.厚厚涂抹liberatingadj.解脱的beleaguered adj.处于困境的unfathomablyadv.深不可测的simultaneously adv.同时acnen.粉刺Numb
11、er two:almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes-(Laughter)including you.第：如果你把插头拔掉分钟，乎所有事情都能恢复运转（笑声）你们也是。Three:there is almost nothing outside of you that will help in any kind of lasting way,unless youre waiting for an organ.You cant buy,achieve or date serenity and peac
12、e of mind.This is the most horrible truth,and I so resent it.But its an inside job,and we cant arrange peace or lasting improvement for the people we love most in the world.They have to find their own ways,their own answers.You cant run alongside your grown children with sunscreen and ChapStick on t
13、heir heros journey.You have to release them.Its disrespectful not to.And if its someone elses problem,you probably dont have the answer,anyway.第三：乎不存在什么外在的量可以长久的帮助你，除你在等器官移植。你法买到或获取灵的安宁。这是最可怕的事实，我常憎恨它。但这是项的作，我们法为世上最爱的去安排份宁静或持续的改善。他们必须找到的路和的答案。你不能在孩成为英雄的征程中替他们挡风遮。你必须给他们由。不这么做就是不尊重他们。更何况当别遇到问题的时候，你可能也
14、不知道到底该怎么办。（笑声）Our help is usually not very helpful.Our help is often toxic.And help is the sunny side of control.Stop helping so much.Dont get your help and goodness all over everybody.This brings us to number four:everyone is screwed up,broken,clingy and scared,even the people who seem to have it m
15、ost together.They are much more like you than you would believe,so try not to compare your insides to other peoples outsides.It will only make you worse than you already are.我们的帮助常常没什么，往往还是有害的。所谓“帮助”就是“控制”的褒义词。别是帮忙啦。别再是施以你的援和友善。（笑声）这也牵引出第四条：每个都是糟糕的、破碎的、依赖的、胆的，甚有的同时拥有这些负情绪，要相信他们其实和你差不多，所以不要拿的内在与别的外表较
16、，这只会让你感到雪上加霜。（笑声）serenityn.平静；宁静resentv.愤恨sunscreenn.防晒霜chapstick n.防裂唇膏screw sb up使神经不正常clingyadj.依赖的；粘的Also,you cant save,fix or rescue any of them or get anyone sober.What helped me get clean and sober 30 years ago was the catastrophe of my behavior and thinking.So I asked some sober friends for
17、help,and I turned to a higher power.One acronym for God is the gift of desperation,G-O-D,or as a sober friend put it,by the end I was deteriorating faster than I could lower my standards.同时，你法拯救他们或是让他们认清事实。30年前帮助我变得清醒的是我为和思想带来的巨灾难。当时我请求些理智的朋友帮我，我也求助于更强的量。“上帝”词可以看做是“绝望中的礼物”的缩写，G-O-D,（两者拼写的字母相同）或者像个清醒
18、的朋友说的，到头来，我堕落的速度我降低底线的速度还要快。（笑声）So God might mean,in this case,me running out of any more good ideas.While fixing and saving and trying to rescue is futile,radical self-care is quantum,and it radiates out from you into the atmosphere like a little fresh air.Its a huge gift to the world.When people r
19、espond by saying,Well,isnt she full of herself,just smile obliquely like Mona Lisa and make both of you a nice cup of tea.Being full of affection for ones goofy,self-centered,cranky,annoying self is home.Its where world peace begins.所以在这种情况下，“上帝”的意思是，“我已经没什么好主意了。”当修复、挽救、和拯救都变成徒劳，积极的我保护就是量，这种量被你激发后飘散
20、在空中，就像新鲜空样。这是给世界的份礼。当们回应说，“好吧，她是不是太我了？”只要像蒙娜丽莎样微微笑，然后给彼此都倒杯好茶就好。能包容个的憨傻、我中、暴躁、讨厌的是家。家是让世界和平开始的地。Number five:chocolate with 75 percent cacao is not actually a food.(Laughter)Its best use is as a bait in snake traps or to balance the legs of wobbly chairs.It was never meant to be considered an edible.
21、第五：可可含量75%的巧克不可以称作是物。（笑声）它的最佳途是作为蛇陷阱的诱饵或者来垫椅腿来防晃动。它从未被认为是可以的。lsober adj.冷静的catastrophe n.灾难turn to 致于；求助acronymn.字缩略词quantum n.量radiatev.显出；流露obliquely adv.隐晦的goofyadj.愚蠢的wobblyadj.颤动的Number six-(Laughter)writing.Every writer you know writes really terrible first drafts,but they keep their butt in t
22、he chair.Thats the secret of life.Thats probably the main difference between you and them.They just do it.They do it by prearrangement with themselves.They do it as a debt of honor.They tell stories that come through them one day at a time,little by little.When my older brother was in fourth grade,h
23、e had a term paper on birds due the next day,and he hadnt started.So my dad sat down with him with an Audubon book,paper,pencils and brads-for those of you who have gotten a little less young and remember brads-and he said to my brother,Just take it bird by bird,buddy.Just read about pelicans and th
24、en write about pelicans in your own voice.And then find out about chickadees,and tell us about them in your own voice.And then geese.第六（笑声）写作。你认识的每个作家，初稿写得都很糟糕，但他们会坚持钉坐在椅上。这就是活的秘密。这也许就是你们之间的主要区别。他们想做就去做了。他们在做之前就预先准备好了。他们把这当做种义务。他们讲述曾经历过的故事，天点、点点地讲出来。在我哥哥上四年级的时候，有次有篇关于鸟类的学期论，第天就要交，然他还没有开始写。于是我爸爸在他旁坐下
25、来，拿着本Audubon的书、些纸张、铅笔和两脚钉知道两脚钉的都不再年轻了吧然后他对我哥哥说，“只鸟只鸟的写，孩。先读些关于鹈鹕的东西然后你的理解 把鹈鹕的知识写下来。接着找到雀，然后你的理解 告诉我们雀的知识。再然后是鹅。”So the two most important things about writing are:bird by bird and really god-awful first drafts.If you dont know where to start,remember that every single thing that happened to you is
26、yours,and you get to tell it.If people wanted you to write more warmly about them,they shouldve behaved better.所以写作最重要的两点：只鸟只鸟的写和惨不忍睹的初稿。如果你不知道从哪开始，记得那些发在你上的事，它们每件都属于你，你就直接说出来。如果们希望你把他们写得更温和些，那他们应该表现得更好。（笑声）pelican n.鹈鹕chickadees n.雀Youre going to feel like hell if you wake up someday and you never
27、wrote the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves of your heart:your stories,memories,visions and songs-your truth,your version of things-in your own voice.Thats really all you have to offer us,and thats also why you were born.也许某天你清醒了会觉得糟糕透了，因为你发现你从来没写过那些直牵扯着你的内的东西，如你的故事，回忆，幻想，与歌曲-你的真实，你对事物的看法你的声，那些都是
28、你必须要带给我们的东西，也是你命的意义。Seven:publication and temporary creative successes are something you have to recover from.They kill as many people as not.They will hurt,damage and change you in ways you cannot imagine.The most degraded and evil people Ive ever known are male writers whove had huge best sellers.
29、And yet,returning to number one,that all truth is paradox,its also a miracle to get your work published,to get your stories read and heard.Just try to bust yourself gently of the fantasy that publication will heal you,that it will fill the Swiss-cheesy holes inside of you.It cant.It wont.But writing
30、 can.So can singing in a choir or a bluegrass band.So can painting community murals or birding or fostering old dogs that no one else will.第七：你必须要从出版发 和短暂创造出的成就中恢复过来。这些名利杀死了迷失其中的。它们会以你法想象的式伤害你、改变你。我所认识的最堕落和邪恶的是些出版过超级畅销书的男作家。这又说回第点：所有事都是有对的。把你的作品出版当然也是个奇迹，可以让你的故事被世阅读和听闻。但要努让从出版发的幻想中抽，你以为出版发可以治愈你，可以填满
31、你内个个如同瑞酪的洞。它不能。它也不会。但是写作本可以。在合唱团或蓝草乐队（乡村乐）唱歌也可以。在社区作壁画或观鸟也可以，或者养条其他都不想养的狗也可以治愈你。Number eight:families.Families are hard,hard,hard,no matter how cherished and astonishing they may also be.Again,see number one.第：家庭。论家有多么珍贵和精彩，家庭活都是难、难、难。参见第条。（笑声）TED?tugv.拉；拖temporary ad.暂时的recover from 复原；恢复degraded a
32、dj.贬低身份choirn.合唱团；唱诗班murals n.壁画fosterv.抚养；照料BhhtssenotesessemstnsahseneattssrssssosesnsisnsnsasnsssssontrAt family gatherings where you suddenly feel homicidal or suicidal-(Laughter)remember that in all cases,its a miracle that any of us,specifically,were conceived and born.Earth is forgiveness sch
33、ool.It begins with forgiving yourself,and then you might as well start at the dinner table.That way,you can do this work in comfortable pants.如果在家庭聚会上，你突然很想杀或杀-（笑声）记住，在所有情况下，我们每个的孕育和诞都是个奇迹。地球是个教会我们宽恕的学校。从原谅开始，你最好从坐在餐桌前开始。这样，你还能穿着舒服的裤来做这件事。（笑声）When William Blake said that we are here to learn to endu
34、re the beams of love,he knew that your family would be an intimate part of this,even as you want to run screaming for your cute little life.But I promise you are up to it.You can do it,Cinderella,you can do it,and you will be amazed.当William Blake说，我们在这世上是要学会承受爱的光芒，他想说，你的家会成为密不可分的部分，即使你要为了你可爱的尖叫奔跑，但
35、我保证，你能。你能做到，灰姑娘，你能做到，然后你会感到为惊奇。Nine:food.Try to do a little better.I think you know what I mean.第九：物。试着做得更好些。我想你我的意思。（笑声）Number 10-(Laughter)grace.Grace is spiritual WD-40,or water wings.The mystery of grace is that God loves Henry Kissinger and Vladimir Putin and me exactly as much as He or She lov
36、es your new grandchild.Go figure.第（笑声）恩泽。恩泽是精神上的WD-40（种除锈润剂）或者是游泳圈。恩泽的神秘之处在于，上帝爱Henry Kissinger和Vladimir Putin，也爱我，就像他或她也爱你们刚出的孙。想想看吧！（笑声）The movement of grace is what changes us,heals us and heals our world.To summon grace,say,Help,and then buckle up.Grace finds you exactly where you are,but it doe
37、snt leave you where it found you.是恩泽改变了我们，治愈了我们，它也治愈了我们的世界。想要受到恩泽，就说“救命“，然后系好安全带。恩泽会在你需要的时候出现，但它不会将你遗弃那。homicidaladj.杀的；有杀嗜好的conceivev.怀孕endurev.忍耐；忍受intimate adj.亲密的buckle up 系安全带And grace wont look like Casper the Friendly Ghost,regrettably.But the phone will ring or the mail will come and then ag
38、ainst all odds,youll get your sense of humor about yourself back.Laughter really is carbonated holiness.It helps us breathe again and again and gives us back to ourselves,and this gives us faith in life and each other.And remember-grace always bats last.遗憾的是，恩泽不会像马精灵样。但是电话会响的，邮件会来的，尽管困难重重，你会得到属于你的幽默
39、感。笑声真的是含着氧化碳的圣洁。它帮助我们次又次地呼吸让我们回归最真的我，这也带给我们对活和彼此的信。记住，恩泽总是与我们相伴。Eleven:God just means goodness.Its really not all that scary.It means the divine or a loving,animating intelligence,or,as we learned from the great Deteriorata,the cosmic muffin.A good name for God is:Not me.Emerson said that the happie
40、st person on Earth is the one who learns from nature the lessons of worship.So go outside a lot and look up.My pastor said you can trap bees on the bottom of mason jars without lids because they dont look up,so they just walk around bitterly bumping into the glass walls.Go outside.Look up.Secret of
41、life.：上帝就是善良。他真的不那么可怕。它意味着神圣或是慈爱的，朝蓬勃的智慧，就像我们从伟的Deteriorata中知道的，宇宙中的松饼（此处指被恶搞的诗词，说到上帝是宇宙中的松饼）。上帝的美名是：“不是我。”Emerson曾说 地球上最幸福的是那个从然中学会了尊敬的。所以到外去，抬头看看。我的牧师说你可以将蜜蜂困在 盖玻璃瓶的底部，因为它们不会抬头看，所以它们只会四处碰壁。出去，抬头看看，这是活的秘密。And finally:death.Number 12.Wow and yikes.Its so hard to bear when the few people you cannot l
42、ive without die.Youll never get over these losses,and no matter what the culture says,youre not supposed to.最后，死亡。第。哇，天哪。有时候亲的死去真的难以承受，你永远法从悲痛中平复，论话怎么说，你不应该如此。carbonate adj.含氧化碳的holiness n.神圣；圣洁divineadj.天赐的animating adj.有命的cosmicadj.宇宙的worship n.崇拜We Christians like to think of death as a major cha
43、nge of address,but in any case,the person will live again fully in your heart if you dont seal it off.Like Leonard Cohen said,There are cracks in everything,and thats how the light gets in.And thats how we feel our people again fully alive.我们基督徒喜欢把死亡 想象成只是更换了住址，但论如何，如果你不把门封锁，这个就还将活在你的中。就像Leonard Coh
44、en说的，“万物皆有裂痕，那将是光照进来的地。”那也将会是我们感到重获新的地。Also,the people will make you laugh out loud at the most inconvenient times,and thats the great good news.But their absence will also be a lifelong nightmare of homesickness for you.Grief and friends,time and tears will heal you to some extent.Tears will bathe
45、and baptize and hydrate and moisturize you and the ground on which you walk.且，有些会让你在不适宜的时候，开怀笑，那是个超赞的好消息。但他们的缺席也将是你的思乡之梦。悲伤和朋友，时间和眼泪，会在定程度上治愈你。眼泪将沐浴、洗礼、和滋润你以及你路来的地。Do you know the first thing that God says to Moses?He says,Take off your shoes.Because this is holy ground,all evidence to the contrary.
46、Its hard to believe,but its the truest thing I know.When youre a little bit older,like my tiny personal self,you realize that death is as sacred as birth.And dont worry-get on with your life.Almost every single death is easy and gentle with the very best people surrounding you for as long as you nee
47、d.You wont be alone.Theyll help you cross over to whatever awaits us.As Ram Dass said,When all is said and done,were really just all walking each other home.你知道上帝对摩西说的第件事吗？他说：“脱下你的鞋。”因为你所站之地是圣地，事实都是相反的。很难相信，但这是我所知道的 最真实的事情。当你再年长点，像我这般，你会意识到死亡和出样神圣。也别担，继续你的活。只要你需要与周围的亲起对死亡，那么死亡将会是简单温柔的。你不会孤单的。不论等待我们的
48、是什么他们都会帮你同度过。正如Ram Dass所说，“说到底，我们只是互相把对送回家。”seal off 封闭baptizev.洗礼hydrate v.补充分moisturizev.使肤湿润I think thats it,but if I think of anything else,Ill let you know.Thank you.我想说的就是这些，但如果我想到别的东西，我会告诉你们的，谢谢。I was very surprised to be asked to come,because it is not my realm,technology or design or entert
49、ainment.I mean,my realm is sort of faith and writing and kind of lurching along together.And I was surprised,but they said I could give a talk,and I said Id love to.能被邀请到这我很惊喜，因为这不是我的领域，技术、设计或娱乐（TED的核主题）。我的意思是，我更擅长谈论信仰和写作，以及相互协作之类的话题。所以我很惊讶，但是当他们告诉我可以做个演讲，我说我很愿意。If you dont know where to start,remem
50、ber that every single thing that happened to you is yours and you get to tell it.如果你不知道从哪开始，记住发在你上的每件事都是你的，你得把它说出来。People are very frightened and feel really doomed in America these days,and I just wanted to help people get their sense of humor about it and to realize how much isnt a problem.If you
