饶舌诗人Prince Ea激情演讲—考试成绩并不代表什么

Your son is a failure , he`s barely passing my class, and with grades like this .

你的儿子是个失败的人，他几乎从来没有通过我的课，都是这样的分数。

I`m just not sure what kind of future He`s gonna`have.

我不确定将来会怎么样.

What do you have to say for yourself?

你还有什么好说的？

You`re supposed to graduate this year. Listen to Mr. Johnson, What kind of future do you think you`re going to have ?

你应该今年毕业的，听听约翰先生说的，你觉得你会有什么样的未来？

With all due respect, Don`t call me a “FAILURE”. Failure is an event, not a person,

恕我直言,不要定义我是“失败者”。失败是一件事，不是一个人。

In fact, and you talk about the future Mr. Johnson, But you`re not preparing us for that

事实上，约翰先生，你谈的未来,但是你没有为此做好准备·····

Excuse me ?

什么？

Just listen to what I`m saying···

听听我要说的事情····

This should be good.

最好那样。

Would you agree that, In the future, most careers will become automated?

你同意····大多数职业将变为自动化的？

Yes `` so ?

是得，那又怎样？

So the people who succeed will have to be curious, innovative, resilient to adapt to new changes.

所以成功的人必须学会好奇，创新，能复原适应新的变化

What`s your point?

你想说什么？

My point is ,the focus in the this school, is not on that````it is on regurgiating information and test taking, And that`s just real,,,, But in today`s world, creativity is the most important leadership skill.

我的意思是，这种学习的集中并不是`````而是反诌信息并进行考试,这是真的···但是在今天，创造力才是最重要的领导力。

Oh, that`s how you feel?

这就是你的感受？

You don`t have to believe me. But maybe you will believe the 1500 executives, Who recently said: creativity is the most important leadership skill.

你可以不相信我，但是你可相信1500个执行者，他们最近说，创造力是最重要的领导力。

See, pretty soon, no one will be hired because of what they know, because who cares what you know or if you`ve memorized a fact```

看着吧，很快，没人会被雇佣，因为他们知道，没人在乎你知道什么，或者你记住什么事实···

We`ve get google for that, in the future, people will be hired because of what they can do with their knowledge. Can they creative solve real world problems, not just follow instructions or directions and bubble in multiple choice.

我们已经有了谷歌，在未来，人们被雇佣是因为他们用自己的知识做什么。他们能不能创造性的解决世界问题,而不是按照指南针或者方向在多选题中选择。

So mom that`s why I`m stressed`cause, these robotic tasks we learned in school should stop.

所以妈妈，为什么我压力大，是因为，我们在学校的这些机械化的任务，应该停止了。

Because no one can do a robot`s job, better than a robot.

因为没有人能做机器的工作，比机器人做的还好.

Billionaire founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma said that we should not compete with artificial intelligence, but instead focus on developing unique human intelligence.

阿里巴巴的创始人是个亿万富翁，马云说过我们不应该和人工智能竞争，而是应该专注的发展人类独一无二的能力。

Mr. Johnson, DRILLS are for teeth not the human mind.

约翰先生，钻孔机是给牙齿用的，而不是用在人类思想上的。

So these repetitive, knowledge-based tasks we must leave behind.

所以这些方面来说，以知识为基础的任务，我们不需扔掉了。

Or in the future, you`re gonna find a lot of people graduating out of your class.

或者在未来，你会发现很多人从你的班级毕业，

Right into the unemployment lint.

是的，直接失业。

See many top companies today dont`t look at grades. Mom, that old way is expiring.

可以看见，今天很多顶级公司都不看成绩，妈妈，旧方法到期了。

Google has been quoted as saying GPA`s are worthless criteria for hiring.

谷歌被人引用说，GPA是没有用的。

Founder of Tesla, Elon Musk agrees.

特斯拉的创始人，艾隆马斯克也同意。

So I say this with unease and sorrow, if you continue to teach today as you taught yesterday.

所以我怀着不安和悲伤说如果你今天继续这么教就像你昨天教的那种方法。

You rob us students of tomorrow.

你就绑架了我们的明天。

Mr. Johnson I`m going to keep it real with you, sometimes sitting in your class is tough. I`m constantly thinking , if I don`t look up at the clock, maybe it`ll speed up. So I listen to you do my work and pay attention. Feeling like an hour to have gone by but it was only three minutes.

约翰先生，我要继续认真和你说，有时候坐在你的课堂上很难过。我一直在想，如果我不一直盯着时钟看，或者就会过得快一些。所以我听你说,认真做我的作业，认真听讲。感觉好像过去一个小时，但是其实就过去三分钟。

So if you wonder why we`re bored in class, look````You want to get a kid hate reading? Give`em this : A school textbook.

如果你想知道我们为什么上课觉得无聊，看····你想让一个孩子讨厌阅读吗？给他们学校课本。

And some people think it`s our fault, and that hurts me, They say,”you can lead a horse to water but you can`t make them drink .”

有人觉得这是我们的错，这让我很受伤，他们说，你可你把马引到河边，但是你无法让他们喝水。

And to that I say no. Firstly, you can put salt in that horse`s hay and make him thirsty.

对此，我说不，首先你可以把盐放到马的干草里让他口渴。

And if you bring joy in your classroom, you can make any bad student, nerdy. As he or she discovers the beauty of truly learning.

如果你把欢乐带进教室，你可以让所有坏孩子，变成呆子。他或者她发现真正学习的美。

Mr. Johnson I mean no disrespect, you have the most important job on this planet. You build, create and save lives, but if you really care about my future, like you say, then you have to fully commit and ask yourself honestly. How do I prepare a child for a future, that doesn`t yet exist.

约翰先生，我无意冒犯，你有这个星球上最重要的工作，你创立，创造并且挽救生命，但是如果你真的关心我的未来，正如你所说，然后你必须全心承担并且诚实的问自己，怎么让一个孩子准备好迎接未来，那个还是存在的。

Here`s a hint, the answer is not found in this , it`s using this（指思维）and this（指心）.

这是提示，答案不会在这里边，用这里和这里。

See in the future, we will need more passion and compassion. People with inspired hearts and wisdom to uplift this planet.

看看未来，我们需要更多的热情和怜悯。拥有灵感和智慧的人会提升这个星球。

And mom , I love you . but can I be real?

妈妈，我爱你，我能做真正的自己吗？

Go ahead.

继续。

You wanna`know one of the biggest factors for childhood success? It`s not I.Q···It`s family meals. And we haven`t had one of those in a while. See I know sometimes, you don`t feel proud. Cause I may not be a straight a student, but I`m not stupid.

你觉得童年成功最重要的是什么因素吗？不是智商,是家庭聚餐，我们很久没有在一起吃饭了。我知道有时候，你不觉得骄傲,因为我可能不是一个还学生，但是我不笨。

These teats may be 70% of my grade, but they`re 0% of my future.

这些成绩可能是我成绩的70%，但是他们是我未来的0%。

But don`t worry. I`ll pass this class and get through this. But I need you to give me the space I need to be me and live true, cause the best feeling in the world, is that your own parents get you .

不要担心，我会通过这课然后通关的。但是我需要你给我成为自己的空间，真实的活着,因为这是世界上最好的感觉，是你的父母懂你.

There`s a passage in a book, called the prophet by kahlil gibran, and if you don`t mind , I`d love to share it with you .

这本书里边有一片文章，叫做预言者，卡里纪伯伦写的，如果你们不介意，我想和你们分享

一下。

Go ahead, see he says: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life longing for itself. They come through you, but not from you. And though they are with you, they do not belong to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies , but not their souls. For their sous dwell in the house of tomorrow.

继续，他说的，你的孩子不是你的孩子，他们是儿子和女儿，他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的，他们通过你来到这世界上，但是并非因你而来，他们在你身边，却并不属于你，你可以给予他们爱，却不是你的想法，因为他们有自己的想法。你可以庇护他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，因为他们的灵魂属于明天。

So mom I`d appreciate it if you give me the love that I need to purse my dreams, See if we are to succeed, all three of us need behavior change on all fronts.

所以妈妈，我会很感激，如果你能留给我我需要的爱激励我追寻梦想，如果我们能成功，我们三个都需要改变之前的行为，

We talk about the future···but future is now. And it is created now, by all of us.

我们谈论未来···未来就是现在，它由现在创造，由我们所有人。

I`ve never heard you speak like that before. Yeah I didn`t know. But I`m going to reach out to administration, and try to change some things. You have my word.

我之前从未听你这么说过，我也不知道，但是我要去和管理层联系，改变写什么，我答应你。
