TED演講《你為什么干不成大事業》全文中英文TED演講《你為什么干不成大事業》全文（中英文）Iwanttodiscusswithyouthisafternoonwhyyou'regoingtofailtohaveagreatcareer.(Laughter)今天下午我想和你們討論一下，你為什么不會成就偉業。(笑聲)I'maneconomist.Idodismal.Endoftheday,it'sreadyfordismalremarks.Ionlywanttotalktothoseofyouwhowantagreatcareer.Iknowsomeofyouhavealreadydecidedyouwantagoodcareer.You'regoingtofail,too-(Laughter)-because-Goodness,you'reallcheeryaboutfailing.(Laughter)Canadiangroup,undoubtedly.(Laughter)Thosetryingtohavegoodcareersaregoingtofail,because,really,goodjobsarenowdisappearing.Therearegreatjobsandgreatcareers,andthentherearethehigh-workload,high-stress,bloodsucking,soul-destroyingkindsofjobs,andpracticallynothinginbetween.我是個經濟學家。我讓人心情低落。一天過完了，準備好聽聽讓人心情低落的評論。我只想和你們想要成就偉業的那些人談。我知道你們有些人已經決定了，你們想要一個成功的事業。你們也會失敗的――(笑聲)――，因為-天吶，你們聽到失敗都這么高興。(笑聲)無疑是加拿大人。(笑聲)想事業有成的人會失敗，因為，真的，現在好工作都在消失。有好工作，和好事業，也有工作量大，壓力大，吸食血液，侵蝕靈魂的那種工作，而且幾乎沒有工作能好點的。Sothepeoplelookingforgoodjobsaregoingtofail.I'mgoingtotalkaboutthoselookingforgreatjobs,greatcareers,andwhyyou'regoingto,whyyou'regoingtofail.Firstreasonisthatnomatterhowmanytimespeopletellyou,"Ifyouwantagreatcareer,youhavetopursueyourpassion,youhavetopursueyourdreams,youhavetopursue,thegreatestfascinationinyourlife,"youhearitagainandagainandthenyoudecidenottodoit.Itdoesn'tmatterhowmanytimesyoudownloadStevenJ.'sStanfordcommencementaddress,youstilllookatitanddecidenottodoit.所以想找好工作的人會失敗。我談談那些尋找偉業的人，你們為什么要尋找，為什么會失敗。第一個原因是不管多少次別人告訴你，“如果你想成就偉業，你就必須追隨你的熱忱，你必須追隨你的夢想，你必須追隨，你人生中最大的吸引，“你聽過這句話一遍又一遍，然后你決定，不去這樣做。不管你下載多少次，StevenJ在斯坦福大學的開學演講，你還是看看然后決定不去做。I'mnotquitesurewhyyoudecidenottodoit.You'retoolazytodoit.It'stoohard.You'reafraidifyoulookforyourpassionanddon'tfindit,you'llfeellikeyou'reanidiot,sothenyoumakeexcusesaboutwhyyou'renotgoingtolookforyourpassion.Andtheyareexcuses,ladiesandgentlemen.We'regoingtogothroughawholelonglist,yourcreativity,andthinkingofexcusesnottodowhatyoureallyneedtodoifyouwanttohaveagreatcareer.我不太確定你為什么決定不去做。你太懶了。這事太難。你害怕如果你去尋找夢想然后找不到，你會覺得你像個白癡，所以你給自己找借口，為什么你不去追尋你的夢想。這些都是借口，女士們先生們。我們要列一個長單子，你的創造力，想想你不去做成就偉業該做的事情的借口。So,forexample,oneofyourgreatexcusesis,"Well,greatcareersarereallyandtruly,formostpeople,justamatterofluck,soI'mgoingtostandaround,I'mgoingtotrytobelucky,andifI'mlucky,I'llhaveagreatcareer.Ifnot,I'llhaveagoodcareer."Butagoodcareerisanimpossibility,sothat'snotgoingtowork.所以，舉例來說，你眾多借口之一是，“嗯，偉業實際上對于大多數人來說，只是運氣問題，所以我就在這待著，我就試試做那個幸運的人，然后如果我真幸運的話，我就能成就偉業。如果不能，我就找個還不錯的事業。”但是沒有還不錯的事業，所以這個行不通。Then,yourotherexcuseis,"Yes,therearespecialpeoplewhopursuetheirpassions,buttheyaregeniuses.TheyareStevenJ.I'mnotagenius.WhenIwasfive,IthoughtIwasagenius,butmyprofessorshavebeatenthatideaoutofmyheadlongsince."(Laughter)Mm?"AndnowIknowIamcompletelycompetent."Now,yousee,ifthiswas1950,beingcompletelycompetent,thatwouldhavegivenyouagreatcareer.Butguesswhat?Thisisalmost2012,andsayingtotheworld,"Iamtotally,completelycompetent,"isdamningyourselfwiththefaintestofpraise.然后，你還有其他借口：“是的，有那些與眾不同的`人，追尋自己的夢想，但是他們是天才。他們是StevenJ.我不是天才。我五歲的時候以為自己是天才，但是我的教授們早就把這個念頭，打消了。”(笑聲)嗯?“然后現在我知道自己完全有能力。”現在你看，如果這是在1950年，完全有能力，就能讓你成就偉業。但是你知道么?現在幾乎是2012年了，對世界說“我完全，絕對，有能力，”就是用最無力的稱贊譴責你自己。Andthen,ofcourse,anotherexcuse:"Well,Iwoulddothis,Iwoulddothis,but,but,well,afterall,I'mnotweird.Everybodyknowsthatpeoplewhopursuetheirpassionsaresomewhatobsessive.Alittlestrange?Mm?Mm?Okay?Youknow,afinelinebetweenmadnessandgenius.I'mnotweird.I'vereadStevenJ.'sbiography.Ohmygoodness.Iamnotthatperson.Iamnice.Iamnormal.I'manice,normalperson,andnice,normalpeopledon'thavepassion.Ah.ButIstillwantagreatcareer.I'mnotpreparedtopursuemypassion,soIknowwhatI'mgoingtodo,becauseIhave,Ihaveasolution,Ihaveastrategy.It'stheoneMommyandDaddytoldmeabout.MommyandDaddytoldmethatifIworkedhard,I'dhaveagoodcareer.So,ifyouworkhardandhaveagoodcareer,ifyouworkreally,really,reallyhard,you'llhaveagreatcareer.Doesn'tthat,like,mathematicallymakesense?"Hmm.Not.(Laughter)Butyou'vemanagedtotalkyourselfintothat.然后，當然，另外一個借口：“嗯，我會做這個，我會做這個，但是，但是，嗯，畢竟，我不是個怪人。每個人都知道那些追尋自己夢想的人，都多少有點強迫癥。有點奇怪?嗯?嗯?好吧?你知道的，瘋子和天才一線之隔。我不是個怪人。我讀過StevenJ的傳記。我的天吶。我不是那種人。我是好人。我是正常人。我是正常的好人，而且正常的好人，沒有夢想。啊。但是我還是想要成就偉業。我還沒準備好去追尋夢想，所以我知道，我要做什么，因為我有辦法，我有策略。就是爸爸媽媽告訴過我的那個。爸爸媽媽告訴我說如果我努力工作，我會有個不錯的事業。所以，如果你努力工作，而且有個不錯的事業，如果你工作特別特別特別努力，你就能成就偉業。這在數學上不是也成立么?”嗯...不是的。(笑聲)但是你還是讓自己信了這話。Youknowwhat?Here'salittlesecret.Youwanttowork?Youwanttoworkreally,really,reallyhard?Youknowwhat?You'llsucceed.Theworldwillgiveyoutheopportunitytoworkreally,really,really,reallyhard,butareyousosurethatthat'sgoingtogiveyouagreatcareerwhenalltheevidenceistothecontrary?你知道么?這有一個小秘密。你想工作?你想工作特別特別特別努力?你知道么?你會成功的。這個世界會給你機會去工作得特別特別特別努力，但是你就那么確信這能讓你成就偉業，即使所有的證據都指向另一邊?Solet'sassume,let'sdealwiththoseofyouwhoaretryingtofindyourpassion.Youactuallyunderstandthatyoureallyhadbetterdoit,nevermindtheexcuses.You'retryingtofindyourpassion,andyou'resohappy.Youfoundsomethingyou'reinterestedin.所以咱們假設，咱們來處理一下你們當中，想追尋夢想的人。你實際上明白你最好這么做。拋開借口。你試圖找到你的夢想，而且你這么快樂。你找到了你感興趣的事。Ihaveaninterest!Ihaveaninterest!Youtellme.Yousay,"Ihaveaninterest!"Isay,"That'swonderful!Andwhat,whatareyoutryingtotellme?Thatyou―""Well,Ihavean
