If I should have a daughter, instead of "Mom," she's going to call me "Point B," because that way she knows that no matter what happens, at least she can always find her way to me. And I'm going to paint solar systems on the backs of her hands so she has to learn the entire universe before she can say, "Oh, I know that like the back of my hand." And she's going to learn that this life will hit you hard in the face, wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air. There is hurt, here, that cannot be fixed by Band-Aids or poetry. So the first time she realizes that Wonder Woman isn't coming, I'll make sure she knows she doesn't have to wear the cape all by herself, because no matter how wide you stretch your fingers, your hands will always be too small to catch all the pain you want to heal. Believe me, I've tried. "And, baby," I'll tell her, don't keep your nose up in the air like that. I know that trick; I've done it a million times. You're just smelling for smoke so you can follow the trail back to a burning house, so you can find the boy who lost everything in the fire to see if you can save him. Or else find the boy who lit the fire in the first place, to see if you can change him. But I know she will anyway, so instead I'll always keep an extra supply of chocolate and rain boots nearby, because there is no heartbreak that chocolate can't fix. Okay, there's a few that chocolate can't fix. But that's what the rain boots are for, because rain will wash away everything, if you let it. I want her to look at the world through the underside of a glass-bottom boat, to look through a microscope at the galaxies that exist on the pinpoint of a human mind, because that's the way my mom taught me. That there'll be days like this. (Singing) There'll be days like this, my momma said. When you open your hands to catch and wind up with only blisters and bruises; when you step out of the phone booth and try to fly and the very people you want to save are the ones standing on your cape; when your boots will fill with rain, and you'll be up to your knees in disappointment. And those are the very days you have all the more reason to say thank you. Because there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away. You will put the wind in win some, lose some. You will put the star in starting over, and over. And no matter how many land mines erupt in a minute, be sure your mind lands on the beauty of this funny place called life. And yes, on a scale from one to over-trusting, I am pretty damn naive. But I want her to know that this world is made out of sugar. It can crumble so easily, but don't be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it. "Baby," I'll tell her, "remember, your momma is a worrier, and your poppa is a warrior, and you are the girl with small hands and big eyes who never stops asking for more." Remember that good things come in threes and so do bad things. Always apologize when you've done something wrong, but don't you ever apologize for the way your eyes refuse to stop shining. Your voice is small, but don't ever stop singing. And when they finally hand you heartache, when they slip war and hatred under your door and offer you handouts on street-corners of cynicism and defeat, you tell them that they really ought to meet your mother.

如果我有一個(gè)女兒，而不是媽媽?zhuān)龝?huì)叫我B點(diǎn)（Point B），因?yàn)樗啦还馨l(fā)生什么，她總會(huì)找到辦法回到我身邊。我會(huì)把太陽(yáng)系畫(huà)到她手背上，她要了解整個(gè)宇宙 在她能說(shuō)“哦，我知道這個(gè)就像我手背上的圖畫(huà)一樣。”之前。她會(huì)學(xué)到 這一生會(huì)迎面直擊很多困難，等著你奮力反擊時(shí)好再次踢你的肚子。讓曠野之風(fēng)把你狠狠地?fù)舻?這是唯一喚醒你脾肺的方法 這嘗起來(lái)多么像空氣的味道。但這傷痛依舊 創(chuàng)可貼或者詩(shī)歌也不能修復(fù)。所以第一次她意識(shí)到 神奇女俠不會(huì)出現(xiàn)，我確信她知道 她自己不用再穿神奇女俠套裝。因?yàn)椴还茉僭趺瓷扉L(zhǎng)你的手指，你的雙手還是那么小 而承擔(dān)不了你想愈合的所有痛苦。相信我，我試過(guò)。我會(huì)告訴她“寶貝兒，” 不要再那樣趾高氣揚(yáng)。我知道那噱頭；我做過(guò)不下上萬(wàn)次。你要是聞到煙味 你能循著這煙味來(lái)到一個(gè)燃燒中的房屋，你能發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)落難于火海的男孩 看看你能否救他。或者遇到事發(fā)前點(diǎn)火的那個(gè)男孩，看看你能否改變他?！?我知道她無(wú)論如何也會(huì)做到，所以近旁我會(huì)常有 巧克力和雨靴的額外獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，因?yàn)榍煽肆梢匀诨袀氖?。好吧，但少許傷心事是巧克力所不能融化的。但這就是雨靴的用途。因?yàn)橛晁畷?huì)沖洗得一干二凈，如果你想那樣的話(huà)。讓她 從一個(gè)玻璃船底的下面，透過(guò)顯微鏡看 這個(gè)星系，它也存在于 人類(lèi)的心靈中，來(lái)展望這世界，因?yàn)槲覌寢屨且赃@樣方式來(lái)教我的。所以才會(huì)有這樣的日子。我媽媽說(shuō)，還會(huì)有這樣的日子。 當(dāng)你展開(kāi)雙手去迎接時(shí)，得到的卻是瘀皰腫傷； 當(dāng)你走出電話(huà)亭，想要高飛時(shí)，你想要救助的那些非常特別的人們 卻站在你的斗篷上讓你飛不起來(lái)； 當(dāng)你的雨靴浸滿(mǎn)雨水時(shí)，你會(huì)失望至極。正是在這些非常特別的日子里，你更有理由得說(shuō)聲謝謝。因?yàn)樵贈(zèng)]有比這兒更美的事，當(dāng)大海不斷吻合著海岸線時(shí)，不管多少次大海被沖刷回去，它依舊在那兒潮起潮落。在風(fēng)中奇緣中你會(huì)贏人心，即會(huì)失人心。在星辰下你得 周而復(fù)始地循環(huán)。不管有多少地雷一觸即發(fā)，要確信你的心靈會(huì) 在這個(gè)曼趣的地方所謂“美麗人生”里扎根。是的，從個(gè)體到過(guò)度信任的轉(zhuǎn)變中，我的確過(guò)于天真。但讓她知道這世界是由蜜糖構(gòu)成的。它也會(huì)輕易間蕩然無(wú)存，但是不要害怕用舌頭來(lái)品嘗它。我會(huì)告訴她“寶貝兒，記住，你媽媽是個(gè)杞人憂(yōu)天者，你爸爸是個(gè)戰(zhàn)士，你是一個(gè)有著小巧玲瓏的雙手，又有雙大眼睛的女孩，那雙眼睛從來(lái)都因好奇而問(wèn)個(gè)沒(méi)完兒?！?記住好事成三兒 壞事兒亦然。當(dāng)你做錯(cuò)事時(shí)，常要道歉。但決不要為 不能讓你雙眼熠熠生輝的事而道歉。你的聲音雖小，但決不要停止歌唱。當(dāng)他們最終交給你的只有心痛，當(dāng)他們把戰(zhàn)火和仇恨席卷到你的家門(mén)口，在街頭巷口鼓動(dòng)你的 那些冷嘲熱諷和幻滅的宣傳語(yǔ)時(shí)，你告之他們，他們的確應(yīng)該來(lái)見(jiàn)見(jiàn)你的母親。

All right, so I want you to take a moment, and I want you to think of three things that you know to be true. They can be about whatever you want -- technology, entertainment, design, your family, what you had for breakfast. The only rule is don't think too hard. Okay, ready? Go. Okay.

好吧，我想讓大家想一會(huì)兒，思考3件事 你們知道這3件事會(huì)是真的。它們會(huì)是你想到的任何事-- 科技，娛樂(lè)，設(shè)計(jì)，你的家庭，你早餐吃了什么等等。這僅有的規(guī)則就是不要想得特復(fù)雜。準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？開(kāi)始。好吧。

04:23

So here are three things I know to be true. I know that Jean-Luc Godard was right when he said that, "A good story has a beginning, a middle and an end, although not necessarily in that order." I know that I'm incredibly nervous and excited to be up here, which is greatly inhibiting my ability to keep it cool. （Laughter) And I know that I have been waiting all week to tell this joke. (Laughter) Why was the scarecrow invited to TED? Because he was out standing in his field. (Laughter) I'm sorry. Okay, so these are three things I know to be true. But there are plenty of things I have trouble understanding. So I write poems to figure things out. Sometimes the only way I know how to work through something is by writing a poem. Sometimes I get to the end of the poem, look back and go, "Oh, that's what this is all about," and sometimes I get to the end of the poem and haven't solved anything, but at least I have a new poem out of it.

這是我認(rèn)為的3件真事。我知道讓·盧克·戈達(dá)爾是對(duì)的 他說(shuō)過(guò)，“一個(gè)好故事 有開(kāi)頭，發(fā)展和結(jié)尾，但不需要都是這順序?！?我知道我站在著兒異常緊張和興奮，我努力控制好我自己保持冷靜。（笑聲） 我知道 我已經(jīng)等了整整一周才來(lái)講這笑話(huà)。（笑聲） 稻草人為什么會(huì)被邀請(qǐng)到TED大會(huì)？ 因?yàn)樗驹谀俏枧_(tái)上特顯眼。（笑聲） 抱歉。好的，這3件事對(duì)我而說(shuō)是真的。但有很多事是我不理解的。所以我用寫(xiě)詩(shī)來(lái)搞明白。有時(shí)唯一讓我搞明白事情的方式 就是通過(guò)寫(xiě)詩(shī)。有時(shí)我寫(xiě)完詩(shī) 回過(guò)頭看看，“哦，這是怎么一回事?！?有時(shí)我完成詩(shī) 卻沒(méi)有解決任何事，但至少我有一首新詩(shī)。

05:24

Spoken-word poetry is the art of performance poetry. I tell people it involves creating poetry that doesn't just want to sit on paper, that something about it demands it be heard out loud or witnessed in person. When I was a freshman in high school, I was a live wire of nervous hormones. And I was underdeveloped and over-excitable. And despite my fear of ever being looked at for too long, I was fascinated by the idea of spoken-word poetry. I felt that my two secret loves, poetry and theater, had come together, had a baby, a baby I needed to get to know. So I decided to give it a try. My first spoken-word poem, packed with all the wisdom of a 14-year-old, was about the injustice of being seen as unfeminine. The poem was very indignant, and mainly exaggerated, but the only spoken-word poetry that I had seen up until that point was mainly indignant, so I thought that's what was expected of me. The first time that I performed, the audience of teenagers hooted and hollered their sympathy, and when I came off the stage, I was shaking. I felt this tap on my shoulder, and I turned around to see this giant girl in a hoodie sweatshirt emerge from the crowd. She was maybe eight feet tall and looked like she could beat me up with one hand, but instead she just nodded at me and said, "Hey, I really felt that. Thanks." And lightning struck. I was hooked.

口語(yǔ)詩(shī)是詩(shī)歌的藝術(shù)表現(xiàn)。我告訴人們口語(yǔ)詩(shī)創(chuàng)新了詩(shī)歌 使它不是只出現(xiàn)在書(shū)本上，它使詩(shī)歌被大聲朗讀傳詠 或讓人們親身體驗(yàn)口語(yǔ)詩(shī)。當(dāng)我是高一新生時(shí)，我是一個(gè)神經(jīng)激素異常活躍的人。我發(fā)育不良 但又過(guò)度興奮。盡管我向來(lái)害怕 被人瞧太久，我卻對(duì)口語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌的想法著迷。我感到我2個(gè)秘密的愛(ài)好，詩(shī)歌和戲劇 可以結(jié)合為一體，有了新生兒，我得去了解這新藝術(shù)。所以我決定試一下。我第一首口語(yǔ)詩(shī)，集成我14歲時(shí)的所有智慧，它是有關(guān) 被視為無(wú)女人味的侵權(quán)問(wèn)題。這詩(shī)是非常氣憤的，大部分夸張了，但除了這一點(diǎn)外，我看這口語(yǔ)詩(shī) 主要是義憤填膺，我想這就是我所期望的效果。我第一次表演 年輕觀眾們歡呼雀躍以示同情，但我走下舞臺(tái)我在發(fā)抖。有人在我肩膀上輕拍了一下，我轉(zhuǎn)身看到 這個(gè)從觀眾群中脫身而出穿著連帽運(yùn)動(dòng)衫的高大女孩。她或許有8英尺高 好像她要一拳把我擊倒在地，與此相反她對(duì)我只是點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭 說(shuō)到，“嗨，我的確和你同感。謝謝。” 頓時(shí)像雷擊一樣。我被吸引住了。

06:51

I discovered this bar on Manhattan's Lower East Side that hosted a weekly poetry open Mic, and my bewildered, but supportive, parents took me to soak in every ounce of spoken word that I could. I was the youngest by at least a decade, but somehow the poets at the Bowery Poetry Club didn't seem bothered by the 14-year-old wandering about. In fact, they welcomed me. And it was here, listening to these poets share their stories, that I learned that spoken-word poetry didn't have to be indignant, it could be fun or painful or serious or silly. The Bowery Poetry Club became my classroom and my home, and the poets who performed encouraged me to share my stories as well. Never mind the fact that I was 14. They told me, "Write about being 14." So I did and stood amazed every week when these brilliant, grown-up poets laughed with me and groaned their sympathy and clapped and told me, "Hey, I really felt that too."

我發(fā)現(xiàn)曼哈頓下東區(qū)的這個(gè)酒吧 它主持每周公眾詩(shī)歌朗讀表演，我那困惑，但又支持我的父母帶我 完全沉浸在這口語(yǔ)詩(shī)表演中。至少在10年里我是最年輕的詩(shī)人，不知怎的，鮑威利詩(shī)社的詩(shī)人 并不介意14歲的我在此流連忘返-- 事實(shí)上，他們歡迎我的加入。就是在這兒，聽(tīng)著這些詩(shī)歌，分享著他們的故事，從中我了解到口語(yǔ)詩(shī)不是要義憤填膺，它可能是有趣的，痛苦的，嚴(yán)肅的或者無(wú)聊的詩(shī)。鮑威利詩(shī)社變成了我的課堂和我家。表演的詩(shī)人 也鼓勵(lì)我去分享我的故事。從不介意我只是14歲-- 他們告訴我，“要14歲那樣的寫(xiě)詩(shī)?！?每周我那樣寫(xiě)詩(shī)，驚奇地站著表演，這些聰明的成年詩(shī)人 和我一起笑，呻吟著他們的同情 同時(shí)鼓掌告訴我，“嗨，我也和你同感?！?/p>

07:46

Now I can divide my spoken-word journey into three steps. Step one was the moment I said, "I can. I can do this." And that was thanks to a girl in a hoodie. Step two was the moment I said, "I will. I will continue. I love spoken word. I will keep coming back week after week." And step three began when I realized I didn't have to write indignant poems, if that's not what I was. There were things that were specific to me, and the more that I focused on those things, the weirder my poetry got, but the more that it felt like mine. It's not just the adage "Write what you know." It's about gathering up all of the knowledge and experience you've collected up to now to help you dive into the things you don't know. I use poetry to help me work through what I don't understand, but I show up to each new poem with a backpack full of everywhere else that I've been.

現(xiàn)在我可以把我口語(yǔ)詩(shī)經(jīng)歷分為 三階段。第一階段那時(shí)我會(huì)說(shuō)，“我能，我能做到這個(gè)?！?這要感謝那個(gè)連帽衫的女孩。第二階段時(shí)我說(shuō)，“我會(huì)，我會(huì)繼續(xù)。我愛(ài)上口語(yǔ)詩(shī)。我會(huì)每周回來(lái)表演?！?第三階段開(kāi)始時(shí) 我意識(shí)到我不必寫(xiě)些憤青的詩(shī)，如果這表達(dá)的不是真的我。有些事對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)是很獨(dú)特的，我更關(guān)注這些事，我的詩(shī)歌就更離奇怪誕，但這也更像是我自己。這不只是一句格言“寫(xiě)你所知的，” 而這是有關(guān)集合所有知識(shí)和體驗(yàn) 到現(xiàn)在你已收集到的一切 來(lái)幫助你深入了解你所不知道的東西。我用詩(shī)歌幫助我經(jīng)歷我所不理解的事，但我展示每一首新詩(shī) 它是用 我已去過(guò)其他地方的一打故事來(lái)寫(xiě)的。

08:39

When I got to university, I met a fellow poet who shared my belief in the magic of spoken-word poetry. And actually, Phil Kaye and I coincidentally also share the same last name. When I was in high school I had created Project V.O.I.C.E. as a way to encourage my friends to do spoken word with me. But Phil and I decided to reinvent Project V.O.I.C.E., this time changing the mission to using spoken-word poetry as a way to entertain, educate and inspire. We stayed full-time students, but in between we traveled, performing and teaching nine-year-olds to MFA candidates, from California to Indiana to India to a public high school just up the street from campus.

我在大學(xué)時(shí)，我遇見(jiàn)同校詩(shī)人 他和我堅(jiān)信口語(yǔ)詩(shī)的神奇。的確，我和菲爾·凱 巧合也同姓。在高中我已創(chuàng)建V.O.I.C.E.計(jì)劃 它是鼓勵(lì)我的朋友和我一起創(chuàng)作口語(yǔ)詩(shī)的一種方式。但我和菲爾決定徹底改造V.O.I.C.E.計(jì)劃-- 這次改變它的使命 為：用口語(yǔ)詩(shī)作為一種娛樂(lè)，教育和激勵(lì)的方式。我們還是全日制學(xué)生，但中間我們旅行，表演和傳授給 9歲到美術(shù)碩士的任何申請(qǐng)人，他們來(lái)自從加州到印地安那州，到印度，到公立高中，到校園剛剛注冊(cè)的街角等。

09:18

And we saw over and over the way that spoken-word poetry cracks open locks. But it turns out sometimes, poetry can be really scary. Turns out sometimes, you have to trick teenagers into writing poetry. So I came up with lists. Everyone can write lists. And the first list that I assign is "10 Things I Know to be True." And here's what happens, you would discover it too if we all started sharing our lists out loud. At a certain point, you would realize that someone has the exact same thing, or one thing very similar, to something on your list. And then someone else has something the complete opposite of yours. Third, someone has something you've never even heard of before. Fourth, someone has something you thought you knew everything about, but they're introducing a new angle of looking at it. And I tell people that this is where great stories start from -- these four intersections of what you're passionate about and what others might be invested in.

我們看到 口語(yǔ)詩(shī)遍地興起 好似雨后春筍一樣。但有時(shí)結(jié)局卻是 詩(shī)歌可真嚇人。有時(shí)結(jié)局是 你得循循善誘地讓青少年寫(xiě)詩(shī)。我有了列表。每個(gè)人都能寫(xiě)列表。我分配的第一次列表 是“我所確信的10件事”。隨后發(fā)生的事，你會(huì)同樣發(fā)現(xiàn)的事 如果我們都開(kāi)始大聲讀出我們的列表。就某一點(diǎn)，你會(huì)意識(shí)到 某人完全分享了同樣的事，或者一件非常類(lèi)似的事，那些同樣在你的列表上事。而有些人 和你的列表完全不同。第三，有人例舉的事，你從來(lái)沒(méi)有聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)。第四，有人例舉的事，你認(rèn)為你都知道，但這些事是以一種新視角展現(xiàn)的。我告訴大家這就是偉大故事的創(chuàng)作點(diǎn)-- 這4個(gè)交集互動(dòng) 分享大家所熱愛(ài)的事情 和其他人可能會(huì)關(guān)注的事。

10:19

And most people respond really well to this exercise. But one of my students, a freshman named Charlotte, was not convinced. Charlotte was very good at writing lists, but she refused to write any poems. "Miss," she'd say, "I'm just not interesting. I don't have anything interesting to say." So I assigned her list after list, and one day I assigned the list "10 Things I Should Have Learned by Now." Number three on Charlotte's list was, "I should have learned not to crush on guys three times my age." I asked her what that meant, and she said, "Miss, it's kind of a long story." And I said, "Charlotte, it sounds pretty interesting to me." And so she wrote her first poem, a love poem unlike any I had ever heard before. And the poem began, "Anderson Cooper is a gorgeous man." (Laughter) "Did you see him on 60 Minutes, racing Michael Phelps in a pool -- nothing but swim trunks on -- diving in the water, determined to beat this swimming champion? After the race, he tossed his wet, cloud-white hair and said, 'You're a god.' No, Anderson, you're the god."

多數(shù)人對(duì)這個(gè)練習(xí)反應(yīng)良好。但我其中的一個(gè)學(xué)生，新生夏洛特 不太相信。夏洛特非常善于寫(xiě)列表，但她決不寫(xiě)詩(shī)。她說(shuō)，“女士，我就是不感興趣。我沒(méi)什么好表達(dá)的。” 我就分配給她不同的列表，一天我分配的列表是 “到目前我應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)的10件事”。在她列表里第3條，“我應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)不要迷戀上 大我3倍年齡的男人?！?我問(wèn)她這意味什么，她說(shuō)，“女士，這說(shuō)來(lái)話(huà)長(zhǎng)?！?我說(shuō)，“夏洛特，這故事讓我有了極大的興趣?！?所以她寫(xiě)了她的第一首詩(shī)，一首我以前從來(lái)沒(méi)聽(tīng)過(guò)的愛(ài)情詩(shī)。詩(shī)開(kāi)頭是 “安德森·庫(kù)珀是個(gè)風(fēng)度翩翩的男人?！?（笑聲） “你可曾看他的節(jié)目60分鐘，同泳池蛟龍邁克爾·菲爾普斯競(jìng)技-- 只穿一襲泳褲-- 潛水入池，決心挑戰(zhàn)這游泳冠軍？ 賽后，他甩動(dòng)他那濕漉漉的銀白頭發(fā) 說(shuō)到，‘你是上帝?！?不，安德森-你才是上帝?！?/p>

Now, I know that the number one rule to being cool is to seem unfazed, to never admit that anything scares you or impresses you or excites you. Somebody once told me it's like walking through life like this. You protect yourself from all the unexpected miseries or hurt that might show up. But I try to walk through life like this. And yes, that means catching all of those miseries and hurt, but it also means that when beautiful, amazing things just fall out of the sky, I'm ready to catch them. I use spoken word to help my students rediscover wonder, to fight their instincts to be cool and unfazed and, instead, actively pursue being engaged with what goes on around them, so that they can reinterpret and create something from it.

現(xiàn)在我知道要扮酷的第一法則 要顯得不為所動(dòng)，從來(lái)都不承認(rèn)會(huì)有嚇著你 或令你驚訝或使你興奮的事。有人曾告訴我 人生之旅就像這樣護(hù)緊雙臂。你得保護(hù)你自己 免于那所有可能出現(xiàn)的出人意料的痛苦或傷害。但我會(huì)像這樣展開(kāi)雙臂地迎向生活。是的，這意味著接住所有這些痛苦和傷害，但同時(shí)也意味當(dāng)那些美好，驚喜的事情 從空中墜落，我準(zhǔn)備好要接住它們。我用口語(yǔ)詩(shī)幫助我的學(xué)生 重新發(fā)現(xiàn)奇跡，與他們自身本能要扮酷和無(wú)動(dòng)于衷做挑戰(zhàn)，反而代之的是他們積極追尋，參與其中與他們周?chē)虺梢黄瑑?，以致于他們能從日常中重新解讀或者創(chuàng)作些詩(shī)。

It's not that I think that spoken-word poetry is the ideal art form. I'm always trying to find the best way to tell each story. I write musicals; I make short films alongside my poems. But I teach spoken-word poetry because it's accessible. Not everyone can read music or owns a camera, but everyone can communicate in some way, and everyone has stories that the rest of us can learn from. Plus, spoken-word poetry allows for immediate connection. It's not uncommon to feel like you're alone or that nobody understands you, but spoken word teaches that if you have the ability to express yourself and the courage to present those stories and opinions, you could be rewarded with a room full of your peers, or your community, who will listen. And maybe even a giant girl in a hoodie who will connect with what you've shared. And that is an amazing realization to have, especially when you're 14. Plus, now with YouTube, that connection's not even limited to the room we're in. I'm so lucky that there's this archive of performances that I can share with my students. It allows for even more opportunities for them to find a poet or a poem that they connect to.

這并不是說(shuō)我認(rèn)為口語(yǔ)詩(shī) 就是理想的藝術(shù)形式。我常試著找到更好方式來(lái)講不同的故事。我寫(xiě)音樂(lè)劇，伴隨我詩(shī)歌我制作短片。但我傳授口語(yǔ)詩(shī) 因?yàn)樗且锥摹２⒉皇敲總€(gè)人能讀懂音樂(lè) 或者擁有一臺(tái)照相機(jī) 但每個(gè)人可以用某種方式來(lái)交流，每個(gè)人都有故事 我們其他人都可以借鑒學(xué)習(xí)。并且，口語(yǔ)詩(shī)會(huì)有即時(shí)互動(dòng)聯(lián)系。人們感到他們孤獨(dú) 或者沒(méi)人理解他們，這是司空見(jiàn)慣的，但口語(yǔ)詩(shī)傳授給他們 如果你有能力表達(dá)你自己 有勇氣展示些故事和觀點(diǎn)，你可以得到 那些聆聽(tīng)你講的滿(mǎn)屋子同伴們，或者詩(shī)社團(tuán)的鼓勵(lì)。甚至有一個(gè)連帽衫的高大女孩 會(huì)和你分享的連為一體。這種感同身受是不可思議的，特別當(dāng)你是14歲時(shí)。另外，現(xiàn)在有了YouTube，人們之間聯(lián)系不再受限于我們所處空間。我如此有幸能有這演講的存檔視頻 這樣我能和我學(xué)生分享了。它提供了甚至更多機(jī)遇 讓人們?cè)谌伺c人聯(lián)系中發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)詩(shī)人 或者一首詩(shī)。

Once you've figured this out, it is tempting to keep writing the same poem, or keep telling the same story, over and over, once you've figured out that it will gain you applause. It's not enough to just teach that you can express yourself. You have to grow and explore and take risks and challenge yourself. And that is step three: infusing the work you're doing with the specific things that make you you, even while those things are always changing. Because step three never ends. But you don't get to start on step three, until you take step one first: "I can."

它也是很誘人的--一旦你要搞明白這個(gè)-- 它誘使人們不斷創(chuàng)作同樣詩(shī)歌，或者不斷訴說(shuō)同樣的故事，一遍又一遍，一旦你搞明白了它就會(huì)贏得掌聲。僅是傳授你能表達(dá)你自己，這是不夠的； 你得成長(zhǎng)和探尋 冒險(xiǎn)挑戰(zhàn)自己。這是第三階段： 傾注到你做的事中去 做些屬于你與眾不同的特別事，即使這些事情總是在變化。因?yàn)榈谌A段永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)結(jié)束。但你不會(huì)從第三階段開(kāi)始，除非你從第一階段向開(kāi)始：我能行。

I travel a lot while I'm teaching, and I don't always get to watch all of my students reach their step three, but I was very lucky with Charlotte, that I got to watch her journey unfold the way it did. I watched her realize that, by putting the things that she knows to be true into the work she's doing, she can create poems that only Charlotte can write, about eyeballs and elevators and Dora the Explorer. And I'm trying to tell stories only I can tell -- like this story. I spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to tell this story, and I wondered if the best way was going to be a PowerPoint, a short film -- And where exactly was the beginning, the middle or the end? I wondered whether I'd get to the end of this talk and finally have figured it all out, or not.

我傳授口語(yǔ)詩(shī)的同時(shí)也旅行了很多地方，我并不總是去期望我所有學(xué)生能達(dá)到第三階段，但我非常幸運(yùn)有夏洛特，我要看看她曾展開(kāi)旅程的新方式，我看她意識(shí)到 通過(guò)寫(xiě)些她確信為真的事穿插到她當(dāng)下作品來(lái)，她可以創(chuàng)作詩(shī)歌，只有夏洛特能寫(xiě)出-- 關(guān)于眼珠，電梯和《愛(ài)探險(xiǎn)的朵拉》的詩(shī)。我試著講的故事也只有我能講述-- 像這樣的故事。我花了很多時(shí)間思考講這故事的最好方式，我心想如果最好方式 是展示一個(gè)幻燈片或者一個(gè)短片-- 那么到底哪里是開(kāi)頭，發(fā)展或者結(jié)尾呢？ 我納悶是否我該在這講話(huà)結(jié)尾 最終把這一切都搞明白了，或是行不通。

And I always thought that my beginning was at the Bowery Poetry Club, but it's possible that it was much earlier. In preparing for TED, I discovered this diary page in an old journal. I think December 54th was probably supposed to be 24th. It's clear that when I was a child, I definitely walked through life like this. I think that we all did. I would like to help others rediscover that wonder -- to want to engage with it, to want to learn, to want to share what they've learned, what they've figured out to be true and what they're still figuring out.
