Hints：
the Dark Ages
TEDsters
I appreciate your attention today, because to show that you truly care, you listen. But there's a problem with this rosy picture of kids being so much better than adults. Kids grow up and become adults just like you. Or just like you? Really? The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather better adults than you have been, which may be a little challenging considering your guys' credentials. But the way progress happens is because new generations and new eras grow and develop and become better than the previous ones. It's the reason we're not in the Dark Ages anymore. No matter your position or place in life, it is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away. Adults and fellow TEDsters, you need to listen and learn from kids and trust us and expect more from us. You must lend an ear today, because we are the leaders of tomorrow.
我感謝你們今天聽我演講，因?yàn)槟銈儠?huì)傾聽我，這證明你們真的在乎。但小孩比大人強(qiáng)得多的這幅樂觀圖景是存在一個(gè)問題的。小孩會(huì)長(zhǎng)大并變成像你們一樣的大人。跟你們一樣，真的嗎？我們的目標(biāo)不是讓小孩變成你們這樣的大人，而是比你們強(qiáng)的大人。考慮到你們都這么了不起，這可能頗具挑戰(zhàn)性。但進(jìn)步是因新的一代人和新的時(shí)期而發(fā)生，不斷的進(jìn)步和發(fā)展，并超越之前的年代。這就是為什么我們不再處于黑暗時(shí)代。不管在生活中你的位置在哪里，你必須給孩子創(chuàng)造機(jī)會(huì)。這樣他們才能成長(zhǎng)并讓你揚(yáng)眉吐氣。 大人和TED觀眾們，你們需要傾聽并向小孩學(xué)習(xí)，信任我們和對(duì)我們懷有更高的期望。今天你們需要聆聽，因?yàn)槲覀兪敲魈斓念I(lǐng)導(dǎo)。
