篇章：12岁孩子谈大人该做什么 邹奇奇，一个华裔小姑娘。12岁的时候在 TED 发表演讲，名字叫：What adults can learn from kids? 大人应当从小孩身上学习什么?演讲中，她代表孩子们发声，希望大人可以相信孩子、给孩子们期待，因为他们将是这个世界的引领者。以下是本次演讲的节选。 I appreciate your attention today, because to show that you truly care, you listen. But there s a problem with this rosy picture of kids being so much better than adults. Kids grow up and become adults just like you. Or just like you, really? 我非常感谢你们今天来听我的演讲，因为那说明你们真的在乎，你们在倾听。但是对于孩子比大人好太多 这件事仍有一个问题。孩子们长大会变成像你们一样的成人。就像你们这样，真的吗? The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather better adults than you have been, which may be a little challenging considering your guys credentials, but the way progress happens is because new generations and new eras grow and develop and become better than the previous ones.It s the reason we re not in the Dark Ages anymore. No matter your position of place in life, it is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away。 最终的目标并不是把孩子变成你们这种大人，而是变成比你们更好的大人，考虑到你们已经是比较成功的成人，这可能有一点难度。但是这个过程在发生，因为新的一代的成长和发展并变得比前一辈更好。这就是我们不再处于黑暗时代的原因。不论你处于生生活中何种状态，为你的孩子创造机会很重要，这样他们才能超越你们。 |
