TED精彩演讲稿：坠机让我学到的三件事(双语).docVIP

　灾难到来时，我们会发现看似普通的日常生活是多么可贵。2009年1月15日，全美航空1549号班机迫降纽约哈德逊河，Ric Elias 就坐在第一排的位置。听他分享在“人生最后一刻” 学到了什么。 　　Imagine a big explosion as you climb through 3,000 ft. Imagine a plane full of smoke. Imagine an engine going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. It sounds scary。 　　想像一个大爆炸，当你在三千多英尺的高空；想像机舱内布满黑烟，想像引擎发出喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦的声响，听起来很可怕。 　　Well I had a unique seat that day. I was sitting in 1D. I was the only one who can talk to the flight attendants. So I looked at them right away, and they said, No problem. We probably hit some birds. The pilot had already turned the plane around, and we werent that far. You could see Manhattan。 　　那天我的位置很特別，我坐在1D，我是唯一可以和空服员说话的人，于是我立刻看着他们，他们说，“没问题，我们可能撞上鸟了。” 机长已经把机头转向，我们离目的地很近，已经可以看到曼哈顿了。 　　Two minutes later, 3 things happened at the same time. The pilot lines up the plane with the Hudson River. Thats usually not the route. He turns off the engines. Now imagine being in a plane with no sound. And then he says 3 words-the most unemotional 3 words Ive ever heard. He says, Brace for impact. 　　两分钟以后，三件事情同时发生：机长把飞机对齐哈德逊河，一般的航道可不是这样。他关上引擎。想像坐在一架没有声音的飞机上。然后他说了几个字，我听过最不带情绪的几个字，他说，“即将迫降，小心冲击。” 　　I didnt have to talk to the flight attendant anymore. I could see in her eyes, it was terror. Life was over。 　　我不用再问空服员什么了。我可以在她眼神里看到恐惧，人生结束了。 　　Now I want to share with you 3 things I learned about myself that day。 　　现在我想和你们分享那天我所学到的三件事。 　　I leant that it all changes in an instant. We have this bucket list, we have these things we want to do in life, and I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to that I didnt, all the fences I wanted to mend, all the experiences I wanted to have and I never did. As I thought about that later on, I came up with a saying, which is, collect bad wines. Because if the wine is ready and the person is there, Im opening it. I no longer want to postpone anything in life. And that urgency, that purpose, has really changed my life。 　　在那一瞬间内，一切都改变了。我们的人生目标清单，那些我们想做的事，所有那些我想联络却没有联络的人，那些我想修补的围墙，人际关系，所有我想经历却没有经历的事。之
