yang lan: the generation thats remaking china 楊瀾：重塑中國的一代

the night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final of chinas got talent show in shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.guess who was the performing guest? susan boyle.and i told her, im going to scotland the next day.she sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in chinese.[chinese:送你蔥] so its not like hello or thank you, that ordinary stuff.it means green onion for free.why did she say that? because it was a line from our chinese parallel susan boyle--a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in shanghai, who loves singing western opera, but she didnt understand any english or french or italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in chinese.(laughter)and the last sentence of nessun dorma that she was singing in the stadium was green onion for free.so [as] susan boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.that was hilarious.so i guess both susan boyle and this vegetable vendor in shanghai belonged to otherness.they were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.and a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.well, being different is not that difficult.we are all different from different perspectives.but i think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.you may have the chance to make a difference.my generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of china that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.i remember that in the year of 1990, when i was graduating from college, i was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in beijing, great wall sheraton--its still there.so after being interrogated by this japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, so, miss yang, do you have any questions to ask me? i summoned my courage and poise and said, yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell? i didnt have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel.我這個年代的人是幸運的我們目睹并參與了中國歷史性的變化.在過去的二，三十年里中國

發(fā)生了很多變化.我還記得1990年的時候.我剛好讀完大學(xué),我當時申請了一個營銷的工作地點是北京的一個五星級賓館,這個賓館現(xiàn)在還有,叫喜來登長城飯店.在被一位日本經(jīng)理詢問了半小時之后,他在面試要結(jié)束時說,楊小姐，你有問題要問我嗎?我鼓起了勇氣，鎮(zhèn)定地問，你能不能告訴我,你們賣什么的?因為我當時完全不知道一個五星級飯店的銷售部要做什么.那是我第一次走進一家五星級飯店.與此同時,我參加了由中國國家電臺舉辦的試聽會這是第一個向大眾開放的試聽會現(xiàn)場還有上千名的女大生.制作人告訴我們他們在找甜美，單純和漂亮的新面孔.當輪到我的時候,我起身問道,為什么在電視上的女人一定要長得漂亮，甜美，單純還要配合度高?為什么她們不能有自己的想法說自己的話?我以為我的話可能有點冒犯了評委.但我的話反而得到了他們的認同.因此我進入了第二回合,然后第三，第四.在第七回合比賽結(jié)束后,我戰(zhàn)勝了所有的選手.我也因此在加入了黃金檔的一個節(jié)目.你也許不敢相信,這個節(jié)目是中國第一個允許主持人表達他們自己的想法他們不需要念之前寫好的稿.（掌聲）我當時每周的觀眾人數(shù)達到200-300萬.所以我今天的話題是關(guān)于年輕一代通過社交媒體的平臺來認識他們.首先，他們是誰?長得什么樣?照片上的女孩叫郭美美20歲，很漂亮.在她的微博上,她炫耀了自己的名牌包,衣服,還有車在她的微博上,微博是中國版的twitter.她還說自己是商會紅十字會在商會的一名經(jīng)理。她沒有想到她的舉動引起了大眾的敏感導(dǎo)致了一場全國性的質(zhì)問,差一點變成一場針對紅十字會的騷亂.這場爭論非常激烈以至于紅十字會開了一場記者會來澄清郭美美事件,該事件也因此被調(diào)查.現(xiàn)今為止,公眾已知道郭美美給自己捏造了紅十字會經(jīng)理的職位也許是因為她喜歡慈善二字.她的那些奢侈品是男朋友送的禮物她的男友之前是一名董事會成員在商會紅十字會下屬的一個部門工作.這個解釋起來有點困難.盡管如此，公眾憤怒仍未平息.熱論還在進行中.這個事件說明了民眾對政府機構(gòu)或是政府所支持的機構(gòu)的不信任,而這些機構(gòu)在過去都不夠透明.這個事件也說明了社交網(wǎng)站的力量和影響.微博就是個很好的例子.微博在2010年興起,訪客人數(shù)翻倍瀏覽時間更是之前的三倍.單是新浪網(wǎng),一個主要的新聞網(wǎng)站,就有超過1.4億的微博用戶.騰訊網(wǎng),2億.有最多人關(guān)注的用戶不是我是個電影女演員，她有超過九百五十萬的跟隨者,網(wǎng)上的叫法是粉絲.大約有80%的微博用戶都是年輕人,年齡在30歲以下.大家應(yīng)該都知道傳統(tǒng)媒體依然由政府控制,社交網(wǎng)站提供了一個平臺讓大家可以表達自己的不滿.因為其它的平臺不多,來自社交網(wǎng)站的激憤有時可以變得非常強烈,非?；钴S甚至帶有暴力.通過微博,我們可以進一步地了解在中國年輕的一代.但他們到底有什么不同之處?第一,他們大部分是80后和90后,出生在一胎化政策的年代.因為有了選擇性的流產(chǎn)很多家長選擇要男不要女,后果就是現(xiàn)今男人的數(shù)量超出女人數(shù)量的3千萬.這個差別讓社會存在一種潛在危險,但沒人敢確定;因為我們生活在一個全球化的世界,男生們可以到其它國家找女友.年輕人里的大多數(shù)都受過不錯的教育.中國這一代的文盲人數(shù)少于百分之一.在城市里,有80%的學(xué)生上大學(xué).但他們面對的是一個在變化的中國今年,年齡超過65的人口已經(jīng)達到百分之7點幾,到2030年人口老化會達到15%.大家也許知道我們的傳統(tǒng)是年輕的這一代有義務(wù)供養(yǎng)老的一代,在他們生病時候照顧他們.這意味著已成家的年輕人將需要供養(yǎng)4位父母他們的預(yù)期壽命是73歲.so making a living is not that easy for young people.college graduates are not in short supply.in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.so what do they do? they have to share space--squeezed in very limited space to save money--and they call themselves tribe of ants.and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.that ratio in america would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china its 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.年輕一代的日子不是那么好過.大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的供應(yīng)超過需求.在城市里,大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的起薪大約在400美金一個月,但平均的房屋每月租金超過500美金.那怎么辦呢?他們只能一起住擠在一個狹小的空間里就為了省錢他們稱自己為蟻族.至于那些打算結(jié)婚還要買房的人,他們認識到自己要打30-40年的工才能買得起一套住房.美國的比例是一對夫妻5年的薪水可買一套房,但在中國需要30-40年因為房價的高漲.在兩億的離鄉(xiāng)打工族中,60%是年輕人.他們覺得自己有點被夾在城市和鄉(xiāng)村之間.他們大多數(shù)都不想回農(nóng)村,但在城市他們沒有歸屬感.他們的工作時間長薪水卻相對較少，社會福利也不多.很多因素都會影響他們像失業(yè),通貨膨脹,銀行貸款政策緊縮,人民幣升值,或是歐美國家對中國產(chǎn)品需求的下降.去年,一場悲劇在中國南方的設(shè)備生產(chǎn)工廠發(fā)生了:13名工人年紀在20歲左右自殺,就像是一場傳染病一樣.只是死亡原因不同.整個事件引起了社會的關(guān)注.大家開始關(guān)心這些工人身體和心理上的孤單.這些圖表顯示一個更概括的社會狀況.第一個是恩格爾系數(shù),它解釋了每天生活必需的花費的百分比在過去的10年內(nèi),從家庭收入的角度來看,已經(jīng)下降到37%.但是在過去的兩年里,這個比例上漲到39%,這說明了生活花費在上升.吉尼系數(shù)顯示已經(jīng)過了0.4的警戒線.現(xiàn)在是0.5比美國還差說明的收入不平等.你能看到整個社會都感到沮喪因為他們失去了一部分的流動性.同時,針對富人和有權(quán)利人士的怨恨與憎恨開始蔓延.所以各種對腐敗或是官商勾結(jié)的指控都可造成社會的譴責(zé)甚至**.so through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.for the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.and it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.so when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the internet, people cry 篇二：楊瀾英語演講

i didnt have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel.my life, and i feel proud of that.but then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country.i was in beijings bidding for the olympic games.i was representing the shanghai expo.i saw china embracing the world and vice versa.but then sometimes im thinking, what are todays young generation up to? how are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of china, or at large, the world? so making a living is not that easy for young people.college graduates are not in short supply.in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.so what do they do? they have to share space--squeezed in very limited space to save money--and they call themselves tribe of ants.and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.that ratio in americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china its 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.so through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.for the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.and it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation.sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.so when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.so the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the internet.we heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.and guess what, we have faked beef.they have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.and then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.so all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the internet.and fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.while young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes theyre a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.china is soon to pass the u.s.as the number one market for luxury brands--thats not including the chinese expenditures in europe and elsewhere.but you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 u.s.dollars.theyre not rich at all.theyre taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.and this is a girl explicitly saying on a tv dating show that she would rather cry in a bmw than smile on a bicycle.but of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a bmw or [on] a bicycle.so happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, its about the environment.people are thinking about the following questions: are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher gdp? how are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? and also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?i guess these are the questions people are going to answer.and our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.thank you very much.楊瀾ted演講：重塑中國的一代 中文演講稿

“送你蔥?！?這不是“你好、謝謝”之類的日常用語。這組詞翻譯過來是免費給你青蔥，為什么她要說這個呢？因為這是我們中國版的蘇珊大媽很有名的一句歌詞。

與眾不同不難，從不同的角度看我們都是不一樣的。我認為與眾不同是好的，因為你有不同的看法，這給你機會去產(chǎn)生不同的影響。

我們這代人有幸見證和參與了過去二三十年中國的歷史性的轉(zhuǎn)型。

我記得在九十年代，剛從大學(xué)畢業(yè)的我申請了一份在北京五星級酒店銷售部的工作。在日本經(jīng)理一個半小時的面試后，他最后說：“楊小姐，你有什么問題要問我嗎？”我鼓起勇氣，定定神然后問道：“您能告訴我銷售部到底銷售什么？”我對于五星級酒店的銷售部的職責(zé)一點都摸不著頭腦。那是我在五星級酒店的第一天。

同時，我和上千名大學(xué)女生參加了一場由中國中央電視臺舉辦的史無前例的公開選拔。制作人告訴我們他們想找一位可愛，天真，美麗的新面孔。當輪到我時，我站起來說道，“為什么女孩在電視上必須是漂亮，甜美，無邪的，像個花瓶？為什么她們不能有她們的想法，她們自己的聲音？”

幾年后，我決定去美國哥倫比亞大學(xué)進修。之后我有了自己的傳媒公司，這是在我剛畢業(yè)的時候想都不敢想的。

我和我的團隊做了很多事情。在過去的這些年，我采訪了上千人。有時候有年輕人走過來對我說：“楊瀾，你改變了我的生活。”我也為此而自豪。

今天我想講講在社交媒體這個大舞臺上的年輕人

他們是誰？他們是怎樣的？這個二十歲左右的漂亮女孩叫郭美美。她在中國版的推特--微博上炫耀她擁有的昂貴的手包，衣服，車子。她自稱是紅十字商會的經(jīng)理。她沒有意識到她踩到了一根敏感的神經(jīng)，引起了全民對于紅十字公信力的質(zhì)疑。

cultural programs and the 2008 olympic games yang lan 1 mr.president, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!before i introduce our cultural programs, i want to tell you one thing first about 2008.youre going to have a great time in beijing.2 many people are fascinated by china’s sport legends.for example, back to song dynasty, which was the 11th century, people in our country started to play a game called cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football.the game was so popular that women were also participating.so now you will probably understand why our women’s football team is so well today.3 there are a lot more wonderful and exciting things waiting for you in new beijing, a modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry.along with the iconic imagery of the forbidden city, the temple of heaven and the great wall, the city also offers an endless mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls, which will amaze and delight you.4 but beyond all of that, this is a city of millions of friendly people who love to meet people from around the world.they believe that if the 2008 olympics is held in beijing, it will help to enhance the harmony between our culture and the diverse cultures of the world.and i guarantee, their gratitude will pour out in open expressions of affection for you and the great movement that you guide.chinese culture and that of the olympic movement.9 i am afraid i cannot give you the full picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time.before i end, let me share with you one story.seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible descriptions of a faraway land of great beauty, people asked marco polo whether his stories about china were true.he answered: what i have told you was not even half of what i saw.actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of beijing that awaits you.11 thank you, mr.president.thank you all.now, i would like to give the floor back to mr.he.篇二：楊瀾英語演講稿

the night before i was heading for scotland, i was invited to host the final of chinas got talent show in shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.guess who was the performing guest? susan boyle.and i told her, im going to scotland the next day.she sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in chinese.[chinese:送你蔥] so its not like hello or thank you, that ordinary stuff.it means green onion for free.why did she say that? because it was a line from our chinese parallel susan boyle--a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in shanghai, who loves singing western opera, but she didnt understand any english or french or italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in chinese.(laughter)and the last sentence of nessun dorma that she was singing in the stadium was green onion for free.so [as] susan boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.that was hilarious.在我去蘇格蘭的前一晚，中國達人秀邀請我到上海主持總決賽體育館的現(xiàn)場有八萬名觀眾.知道特別嘉賓是誰嗎？蘇珊大媽.我告訴她，“我明天要去蘇格蘭.她不但歌聲非常動聽，還學(xué)會了說幾句中文.她說:“送你蔥”這句話的意思不是“你好,”“謝謝,”那類的話.送你蔥意思是“免費的大蔥.”她為什么要說這句話呢?因為“送你蔥”是來自有著中國蘇珊大媽之稱的一位五十多歲在上海賣菜的女攤販,她非常喜歡西方歌劇,但她不懂歌詞的意思也不會說英語,法語,或是意大利語,所以她以獨特的方式來記歌詞將歌詞全部換成蔬菜名.（笑聲）意大利歌劇公主徹夜未眠的最后一句她當時就是以送你蔥來演唱的.當蘇珊大媽說了這句話的時候,現(xiàn)場的八萬名觀眾一起跟著唱了起來.當時的場面十分有趣.so i guess both susan boyle and this vegetable vendor in shanghai belonged to otherness.they were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.and a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.well, being different is not that difficult.we are all different from different perspectives.but i think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.you may have the chance to make a difference.我想蘇珊大媽還有那位上海的賣菜大嬸都有她們的獨特之處.大家通常會覺得她們無法在娛樂圈這個行業(yè)里闖出天下,但是才能和勇氣讓她們得到了肯定.一場秀和一個平臺讓她們有了一個可以圓夢的舞臺.其實要與眾不同不是什么難事.我們都有獨特之處從不同的角度來看.但我覺得與眾不同其實很好,因為你有不同的想法.你也許可以在某一方面有影響.my generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of china that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.i remember that in the year of 1990, when i was graduating from college, i was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in beijing, great wall sheraton--its still there.so after being interrogated by this japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, so, miss yang, do you have any questions to ask me? i summoned my courage and poise and said, yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell? i didnt have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel.我這個年代的人是幸運的我們目睹并參與了中國歷史性的變化.在過去的二，三十年里中國

發(fā)生了很多變化.我還記得1990年的時候.我剛好讀完大學(xué),我當時申請了一個營銷的工作地點是北京的一個五星級賓館,這個賓館現(xiàn)在還有,叫喜來登長城飯店.在被一位日本經(jīng)理詢問了半小時之后,他在面試要結(jié)束時說,楊小姐，你有問題要問我嗎?我鼓起了勇氣，鎮(zhèn)定地問，你能不能告訴我,你們賣什么的?因為我當時完全不知道一個五星級飯店的銷售部要做什么.那是我第一次走進一家五星級飯店.與此同時,我參加了由中國國家電臺舉辦的試聽會這是第一個向大眾開放的試聽會現(xiàn)場還有上千名的女大生.制作人告訴我們他們在找甜美，單純和漂亮的新面孔.當輪到我的時候,我起身問道,為什么在電視上的女人一定要長得漂亮，甜美，單純還要配合度高?為什么她們不能有自己的想法說自己的話?我以為我的話可能有點冒犯了評委.但我的話反而得到了他們的認同.因此我進入了第二回合,然后第三，第四.在第七回合比賽結(jié)束后,我戰(zhàn)勝了所有的選手.我也因此在加入了黃金檔的一個節(jié)目.你也許不敢相信,這個節(jié)目是中國第一個允許主持人表達他們自己的想法他們不需要念之前寫好的稿.（掌聲）我當時每周的觀眾人數(shù)達到200-300萬.so making a living is not that easy for young people.college graduates are not in short supply.in urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 u.s.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.so what do they do? they have to share space--squeezed in very limited space to save money--and they call themselves tribe of ants.and for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.that ratio in america would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in china its 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.年輕一代的日子不是那么好過.大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的供應(yīng)超過需求.在城市里,大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的起薪大約在400美金一個月,但平均的房屋每月租金超過500美金.那怎么辦呢?他們只能一起住擠在一個狹小的空間里就為了省錢他們稱自己為蟻族.至于那些打算結(jié)婚還要買房的人,他們認識到自己要打30-40年的工才能買得起一套住房.美國的比例是一對夫妻5年的薪水可買一套房,但在中國需要30-40年因為房價的高漲.在兩億的離鄉(xiāng)打工族中,60%是年輕人.他們覺得自己有點被夾在城市和鄉(xiāng)村之間.他們大多數(shù)都不想回農(nóng)村,但在城市他們沒有歸屬感.他們的工作時間長薪水卻相對較少，社會福利也不多.很多因素都會影響他們像失業(yè),通貨膨脹,銀行貸款政策緊縮,人民幣升值,或是歐美國家對中國產(chǎn)品需求的下降.去年,一場悲劇在中國南方的設(shè)備生產(chǎn)工廠發(fā)生了:13名工人年紀在20歲左右自殺,就像是一場傳染病一樣.只是死亡原因不同.整個事件引起了社會的關(guān)注.大家開始關(guān)心這些工人身體和心理上的孤單.有些選擇返回鄉(xiāng)村的人,當?shù)厝耸謿g迎他們回鄉(xiāng),因為他們在城市獲得了知識，技術(shù)，和人際關(guān)系,通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的幫助,他們可以創(chuàng)造更多工作,在發(fā)展較落后的地區(qū)將農(nóng)業(yè)升級并創(chuàng)造更多商機.過去幾年里,在臨海區(qū)域,出現(xiàn)勞動力短缺的現(xiàn)象.這些圖表顯示一個更概括的社會狀況.第一個是恩格爾系數(shù),它解釋了每天生活必需的花費的百分比在過去的10年內(nèi),從家庭收入的角度來看,已經(jīng)下降到37%.但是在過去的兩年里,這個比例上漲到39%,這說明了生活花費在上升.吉尼系數(shù)顯示已經(jīng)過了0.4的警戒線.現(xiàn)在是0.5比美國還差說明的收入不平等.你能看到整個社會都感到沮喪因為他們失去了一部分的流動性.同時,針對富人和有權(quán)利人士的怨恨與憎恨開始蔓延.所以各種對腐敗或是官商勾結(jié)的指控都可造成社會的譴責(zé)甚至**.so through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.for the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.and it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.so when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the internet, people cry篇三：楊瀾ted演講中英文對照

my generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of china that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.我這個年代的人是幸運的 我們目睹并參與了 中國歷史性的變化.在過去的二，三十年裡 中國發(fā)生了很多變化.i remember that in the year of 1990, when i was graduating from college, i was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in beijing, great wall sheraton--its still there.so after being interrogated by this japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, so, miss yang, do you have any questions to ask me? i summoned my courage and poise and said, yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell? i didnt have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.that was the first day i set my foot in a five-star hotel.我還記得1990年的時候.我剛好讀完大學(xué), 我當時申請了一個營銷的工作 地點是北京的一個五星級賓館, 這個賓館現(xiàn)在還有, 叫喜來登長城

楊瀾訪談

——記錄這個時代的精神印跡

2013年，作為中國電視最早推出的高端訪談節(jié)目，《楊瀾訪談錄》即將迎來它的第十三個年頭。告別2012，《楊瀾訪談錄》這檔老牌訪談節(jié)目將進行全新改版登陸北京衛(wèi)視，在每個周日晚上23點與觀眾見面。

在過去的十二年當中，楊瀾帶領(lǐng)她的團隊走過世界上二十多個國家和地區(qū)，與六百多位不同地域、不同領(lǐng)域的風(fēng)云人物對話。從各國政要到文化大家、從行業(yè)領(lǐng)袖到文體名人，從焦點新聞當事人到草根達人，這些人物的經(jīng)歷和故事體展現(xiàn)了這個時代特有的精神價值。在剛剛到來的2013年，《楊瀾訪談錄》將一如既往的堅持記錄屬于這個時代的精神印跡，尋找這個時代所具有的獨特精神價值。

世界的寬度

十二年來，高端性和國際化一直是《楊瀾訪談錄》的節(jié)目特色。曾經(jīng)對話多國政要及國家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，也有一些在國際政壇上曾發(fā)揮重要影響力的政治人物。欄目曾在希拉里?克林頓作為國務(wù)卿首次訪華時獨家專訪她，也曾經(jīng)就萊溫斯基彈劾案追問美國前總統(tǒng)比爾?克林頓。在潘基文連任聯(lián)合國秘書長后首次訪華時對其進行了訪問。在與這些“大人物”的對話中，《楊瀾訪談錄》以國際化的視角試圖展現(xiàn)世界的寬度，并且通過犀利的問答和話題的銳度，折射出一個個特有的歷史瞬間。

理性的深度

《楊瀾訪談錄》也曾經(jīng)就重大歷史事件制作系列專題節(jié)目。2002年正值中美建交40周年之際采訪了美國前國務(wù)卿基辛格，就中美關(guān)系的“破冰之旅”進行歷史的揭秘。在建國60周年之際制作世界看東方系列節(jié)目，走訪了七位國際政要，通過他們的口述從不同的角度來點評中國社會發(fā)生的巨大變遷。

面對這些在國際政治舞臺上頗具影響力的大人物，楊瀾和她的團隊并沒有在訪談中止于中美關(guān)系、中英關(guān)系等宏大敘事的話題。經(jīng)過策劃，“楊訪”團隊將對這一組大人物的訪談以時事熱點為經(jīng)度，以歷史縱深為緯度，從親歷者提供的鮮為人知的事實真相中還原出歷史流變的全景文本，打造了一組極具爆發(fā)力的獨家深度系列訪談——世界看東方。這樣的編排超越了與單個嘉賓的所謂重磅對話，梳理出思辨的邏輯，在大場面的背后，體現(xiàn)的是“楊訪”理性的深度。

人性的溫度

2011年，李亞鵬與王菲攜手做客《楊瀾訪談錄》，這是五年來他們首次共同受訪，被問及踏入這幾年的感受，向來少言的王菲很快地給出了兩個詞：踏實、安逸。

“楊訪”團隊呈現(xiàn)給觀眾的，是與每一位嘉賓充滿人性溫度的細節(jié)互動。在對張海迪的訪談中，節(jié)目臨近尾聲時，楊瀾提了這樣一個問題：“海倫?凱勒曾經(jīng)寫過一篇文章，《假如我有三天光明》，假如你能夠行走呢，你的愿望是什么?”

張海迪的回答平實而又真切：“我希望我也能夠像很多的女性一樣，在學(xué)校門口等等我的孩子。他老遠地跑過來說，‘媽媽’。我會摟著他肩膀說，‘兒子，今天怎么樣?’”

2012年，《楊瀾訪談錄》團隊在北戴河對王蒙的采訪進行了將近兩個小時，楊瀾問到他對中國未來的擔(dān)憂時，王蒙說，“我并不那么悲觀，我覺得我們今天有可能把事情做得更好”。

《楊瀾訪談錄》的團隊銳意求新，新的一年，全新的改版，不同的視角，我們試圖在這個瞬息萬變的信息潮流中為您捕捉重大新聞事件的焦點人物，在第一時間和新聞當事人近距離獨家對話。我們不僅一如既往的關(guān)注變革時代的風(fēng)云人物，我們也會更為重視、努力尋找散發(fā)光彩的“小人物”；我們既要緊跟新聞事件，我們也關(guān)注被大眾媒體忽略的有故事的“默默無聞”的人們；我們既聚焦個人的精神內(nèi)核，但我們更關(guān)注他是否代表了時代的精神價值。

2013年，《楊瀾訪談錄》欄目改版后時長將從原來的23分鐘增加到35分鐘，將會呈現(xiàn)出更多睿智的時代對話。欄目相信每個獨立而平凡的個體都有一種推動社會進步的力量，用自己的思想、言論和行為為這個時代留下難以磨滅的印跡。我們更期待能找到那些閃耀著時代精神價值的人們，和觀眾一起找尋那些為時代留下印跡的人物。2013，讓我們一起同行！

第四篇：楊瀾

楊瀾TED演講稿

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China's Got Talent” show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, “I'm going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese] So it's not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff.It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle--a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter)And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness.They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.Well, being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives.But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton--it's still there.So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, “So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?” I summoned my courage and poise and said, “Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?” I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, “Lan, you changed my life,” and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?

So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media.First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei--20 years old, beautiful.She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter.And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce.She didn't realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross.The controversy was so heated

that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title--probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity.All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce.It's very complicated to explain.But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it.It is still boiling.It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past.And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled.Sina.com, a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger--it's not me--it's a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old.And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit.But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.So how are they different? First of all, most of them were born in the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy.And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women.That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows;we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.Most of them have fairly good education.The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent.In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030.And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick.So it means young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people.College graduates are not in short supply.In urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.So what do they do? They have to share space--squeezed in very limited space to save money--and they call themselves “tribe of ants.” And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas.Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging.They work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare.And they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce.Last year, though, an appalling

incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside, they find themselves very welcome locally, because with the knowledge, skills and networks they have learned in the cities, with the assistance of the Internet, they're able to create more jobs, upgrade local agriculture and create new business in the less developed market.So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background.The first one is the Engels coefficient, which explains that the cost of daily necessities has dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent.But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost.The Gini coefficient has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4.Now it's 0.5--even worse than that in America--showing us the income inequality.And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also, the bitterness and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread.So any accusations of corruption or backdoor dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet, people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.And guess what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they're a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.China is soon to pass the U.S.as the number one market for luxury brands--that's not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere.But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S.dollars.They're not rich at all.They're taking those bags and clothes as a

sense of identity and social status.And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called “naked” wedding, or “naked” marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogs for food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find missing children.A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment.People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the system of self-correctness to keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time? I guess these are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.

楊瀾TED演講：重塑中國的年輕一代

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China’s Got Talent” show”中國達人秀“ in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audiences in the stadium.Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, “I’m going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese] So it’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff.It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle中國版的“蘇珊大媽” — a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera西方歌劇, but she didn’t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter)And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma《圖蘭朵》 that she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious歡鬧的.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness不同.They were the least expected 最不可能to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.Well, being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives從不同的方面審視.But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.I remember that in the year of 1990,when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton--it's still there.So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, “So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?”I summoned my courage and poise and said,“Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?” I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Around the same time, I was going through an audition--the first ever open audition by national television in China--with another thousand college girls.The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face.So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, “Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?” I thought I kind of offended them.But actually, they were impressed by my words.And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth.After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it.So I was on a national television prime-time show.And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script.(Applause)And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, “Lan, you changed my life,” and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world? So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media.First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei--20 years old, beautiful.She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter.And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce.She didn't realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross.The controversy was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title--probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity.All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend,who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce.It's very complicated to explain.But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it.It is still boiling.It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past.And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled.Sina.com, a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger--it's not me--it's a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old.And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government,social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit.But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.So how are they different? First of all, most of them were bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy.And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women.That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows;we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.Most of them have fairly good education.The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent.In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030.And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick.So it means young coupleswill have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people.College graduates are not in short supply.In urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.So what do they do? They have to share space--squeezed in very limited space to save money--and they call themselves “tribe of ants.” And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio in Americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas.Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging.They work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare.And they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation,tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce.Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside,they find themselves very welcome locally,because with the knowledge, skills and networksthey have learned in the cities, with the assistance of the Internet, they're able to create more jobs,upgrade local agriculture and create new businessin the less developed market.So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background.The first one is the Engels coefficient,which explains that the cost of daily necessitieshas dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent.But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost.The Gini coefficient has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4.Now it's 0.5--even worse than that in America--showing us the income inequality.And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also, the bitterness and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread.So any accusations of corruptionor backdoor dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation.Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.And guess what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they're a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.China is soon to pass the U.S.as the number one market for luxury brands--that's not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere.But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S.dollars.They're not rich at all.They're taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called “naked” wedding, or “naked” marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogsfor food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watchingthrough microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find missing children.A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment.People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?I guess these are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.
