ted演講稿 篇1
簡介:殘奧會短跑冠軍aimeemullins天生沒有腓骨,從小就要學習靠義肢走路和奔跑。如今,她不僅是短跑選手、演員、模特,還是一位穩(wěn)健的演講者。她不喜歡字典中“disabled”這個詞,因為負面詞匯足以毀掉一個人。但是,坦然面對不幸,你會發(fā)現等待你的是更多的機會。
i'd like to share with you a discovery that i made a few months ago whilewriting an article for italian wired. i always keep my thesaurus handy wheneveri'm writing anything, but i'd already finished editing the piece, and i realizedthat i had never once in my life looked up the word "disabled" to see what i'dfind.
let me read you the entry. "disabled, adjective: crippled, helpless,useless, wrecked, stalled, maimed, wounded, mangled, lame, mutilated, run-down,worn-out, weakened, impotent, castrated, paralyzed, handicapped, senile,decrepit, laid-up, done-up, done-for, done-in cracked-up, counted-out; see alsohurt, useless and weak. antonyms, healthy, strong, capable." i was reading thislist out loud to a friend and at first was laughing, it was so ludicrous, buti'd just gotten past "mangled," and my voice broke, and i had to stop andcollect myself from the emotional shock and impact that the assault from thesewords unleashed.
