The night before I was heading for Scotland,
0
0
3000
前往苏格兰的前一天晚上
00:18
I was invited to host the final
1
3000
3000
我受邀在上海主持了
00:21
of "China's Got Talent" show in Shanghai
2
6000
3000
“中国达人秀”的总决赛
00:24
with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.
3
9000
4000
八万现场观众聚集在体育场内
00:28
Guess who was the performing guest?
4
13000
3000
猜猜谁是表演嘉宾？
00:31
Susan Boyle.
5
16000
3000
苏珊·波伊尔
00:34
And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day."
6
19000
4000
我对她说“我明天就要去苏格兰”
00:38
She sang beautifully,
7
23000
2000
她唱的棒极了
00:40
and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese:
8
25000
4000
甚至还尝试说些中文
00:44
送你葱
9
29000
3000
送你葱
00:47
So it's not like "hello" or "thank you,"
10
32000
2000
这不是类似“你好”或“谢谢”之类
00:49
that ordinary stuff.
11
34000
2000
普通的话
00:51
It means "green onion for free."
12
36000
2000
它的意思是“葱免费”
00:53
Why did she say that?
13
38000
3000
她为什么这样说呢？
00:56
Because it was a line
14
41000
3000
因为这出自一位
00:59
from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle --
15
44000
3000
中国版“苏珊大妈”之口--
01:02
a 50-some year-old woman,
16
47000
2000
一位50多岁的女士
01:04
a vegetable vendor in Shanghai,
17
49000
2000
一位上海菜商
01:06
who loves singing Western opera,
18
51000
3000
她非常钟爱西方歌剧
01:09
but she didn't understand
19
54000
2000
但是她根本不懂
01:11
any English or French or Italian,
20
56000
2000
英语、法语或者意大利语
01:13
so she managed to fill in the lyrics
21
58000
2000
所以她尝试用中文的蔬菜名称
01:15
with vegetable names in Chinese.
22
60000
2000
去填词
01:17
(Laughter)
23
62000
2000
（笑声）
01:19
And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma
24
64000
3000
她在体育场现场所演唱的
01:22
that she was singing in the stadium
25
67000
2000
“今夜无人入睡”中的最后一句
01:24
was "green onion for free."
26
69000
3000
就是“送你葱”
01:27
So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that,
27
72000
3000
所以当苏珊·波伊尔唱的时候
01:30
80,000 live audience sang together.
28
75000
3000
现场八万人齐声合唱
01:33
That was hilarious.
29
78000
3000
非常有意思
01:36
So I guess both Susan Boyle
30
81000
3000
所以我猜苏珊·波伊尔
01:39
and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai
31
84000
3000
和这位上海菜商
01:42
belonged to otherness.
32
87000
2000
都不同寻常
01:44
They were the least expected to be successful
33
89000
2000
她们都是在被称为娱乐圈的行业中
01:46
in the business called entertainment,
34
91000
3000
在最不被看好的情况下获得成功的
01:49
yet their courage and talent brought them through.
35
94000
3000
勇气和天赋是她们所依靠的
01:52
And a show and a platform
36
97000
3000
节目和平台
01:55
gave them the stage
37
100000
2000
为她们提供了实现
01:57
to realize their dreams.
38
102000
3000
梦想的舞台
02:00
Well, being different is not that difficult.
39
105000
4000
与众不同并没有多难
02:04
We are all different
40
109000
2000
从不同角度来说
02:06
from different perspectives.
41
111000
2000
我们每个人都各不相同
02:08
But I think being different is good,
42
113000
2000
但是我认为与众不同是件好事
02:10
because you present a different point of view.
43
115000
3000
因为你展示了一种不同的观点
02:13
You may have the chance to make a difference.
44
118000
3000
你也许有机会去创造不同
02:16
My generation has been very fortunate
45
121000
2000
我这一代人非常有幸可以
02:18
to witness and participate
46
123000
2000
目睹和参与到
02:20
in the historic transformation of China
47
125000
3000
过去二三十年中给中国带来
02:23
that has made so many changes
48
128000
2000
众多改变的这场
02:25
in the past 20, 30 years.
49
130000
3000
历史性转变
02:28
I remember that in the year of 1990,
50
133000
3000
我记得1990年的时候
02:31
when I was graduating from college,
51
136000
2000
我那时刚刚大学毕业
02:33
I was applying for a job in the sales department
52
138000
3000
我应聘了一份销售部门的工作
02:36
of the first five-star hotel in Beijing,
53
141000
2000
在当时北京第一家五星级酒店
02:38
Great Wall Sheraton -- it's still there.
54
143000
4000
北京喜来登长城饭店--这家店现在还在
02:42
So after being interrogated
55
147000
2000
当我被这位日本经理
02:44
by this Japanese manager for a half an hour,
56
149000
2000
询问了半小时之后
02:46
he finally said,
57
151000
2000
他最后说
02:48
"So, Miss Yang,
58
153000
2000
“那么，杨小姐
02:50
do you have any questions to ask me?"
59
155000
3000
你还有什么问题想问我的吗？”
02:53
I summoned my courage and poise and said,
60
158000
3000
我鼓起勇气泰然自若的说
02:56
"Yes, but could you let me know,
61
161000
2000
“是的，您可否告诉我
02:58
what actually do you sell?"
62
163000
3000
你们到底销售的是什么？”
03:01
I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about
63
166000
2000
我当时对于一个五星级酒店销售部门到底在买什么
03:03
in a five-star hotel.
64
168000
2000
没有什么概念
03:05
That was the first day I set my foot
65
170000
2000
那是我生平第一次走进一家
03:07
in a five-star hotel.
66
172000
2000
五星级酒店
03:09
Around the same time,
67
174000
2000
大约就在同时
03:11
I was going through an audition --
68
176000
3000
我参加了一次试镜--
03:14
the first ever open audition
69
179000
2000
中国国家电视台的
03:16
by national television in China --
70
181000
3000
第一次公开试镜--
03:19
with another thousand college girls.
71
184000
3000
试镜的还有数千名大学女孩儿
03:22
The producer told us
72
187000
2000
制片人对我们说
03:24
they were looking for some sweet, innocent
73
189000
2000
他们想找一些甜美，单纯
03:26
and beautiful fresh face.
74
191000
3000
漂亮的新面孔
03:29
So when it was my turn, I stood up and said,
75
194000
3000
所以当轮到我的时候，我站起来说
03:32
"Why [do] women's personalities on television
76
197000
3000
“为什么电视上女性的个性
03:35
always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent
77
200000
3000
总是必须要漂亮，甜美，单纯
03:38
and, you know, supportive?
78
203000
3000
比较讨好？
03:41
Why can't they have their own ideas
79
206000
2000
为什么不能拥有自己的想法
03:43
and their own voice?"
80
208000
2000
自己的声音？”
03:45
I thought I kind of offended them.
81
210000
4000
我觉得我好像有点冒犯他们了
03:49
But actually, they were impressed by my words.
82
214000
4000
实际上，他们却对我的话留下了深刻印象
03:53
And so I was in the second round of competition,
83
218000
2000
于是我入围了第二轮选拔
03:55
and then the third and the fourth.
84
220000
2000
然后是第三轮、第四轮
03:57
After seven rounds of competition,
85
222000
2000
七轮选拔过后
03:59
I was the last one to survive it.
86
224000
3000
我是唯一留下来的选手
04:02
So I was on a national television prime-time show.
87
227000
3000
于是我出现在了国家电视台黄金时段的节目上
04:05
And believe it or not,
88
230000
2000
大家可能不信
04:07
that was the first show on Chinese television
89
232000
2000
但那是中国的电视台中第一个
04:09
that allowed its hosts
90
234000
2000
允许主持人
04:11
to speak out of their own minds
91
236000
2000
表达出个人观点
04:13
without reading an approved script.
92
238000
3000
而不用照读审核脚本的节目
04:16
(Applause)
93
241000
4000
（鼓掌）
04:20
And my weekly audience at that time
94
245000
2000
我当时每周的观众人数
04:22
was between 200 to 300 million people.
95
247000
4000
在2-3亿人左右
04:26
Well after a few years,
96
251000
2000
数年后
04:28
I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University
97
253000
3000
我决定去美国哥伦比亚大学
04:31
to pursue my postgraduate studies,
98
256000
2000
进修研究生
04:33
and then started my own media company,
99
258000
2000
同时开始经营我自己的传媒公司
04:35
which was unthought of
100
260000
3000
这些在我刚刚开始工作
04:38
during the years that I started my career.
101
263000
2000
的时候是从来没想过的
04:40
So we do a lot of things.
102
265000
2000
因此我们做了许多工作
04:42
I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.
103
267000
3000
过去这些年，我面试了一千多人
04:45
And sometimes I have young people approaching me
104
270000
3000
有时，年轻朋友找到我
04:48
say, "Lan, you changed my life,"
105
273000
2000
说“杨澜，你改变了我的一生”
04:50
and I feel proud of that.
106
275000
2000
我为此觉得很自豪
04:52
But then we are also so fortunate
107
277000
2000
但是，我们同样非常幸运
04:54
to witness the transformation of the whole country.
108
279000
3000
可以见证整个国家的转变
04:57
I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games.
109
282000
4000
我是北京申奥团队的一员
05:01
I was representing the Shanghai Expo.
110
286000
2000
上海世博会的形象大使
05:03
I saw China embracing the world
111
288000
2000
我见证了中国融入着世界
05:05
and vice versa.
112
290000
2000
同样在被世界所接受
05:07
But then sometimes I'm thinking,
113
292000
3000
但是我时常会思考
05:10
what are today's young generation up to?
114
295000
4000
当代的年轻人是什么样的？
05:14
How are they different,
115
299000
2000
他们是如何与众不同的
05:16
and what are the differences they are going to make
116
301000
2000
什么样的未来是他们将要塑造的
05:18
to shape the future of China,
117
303000
2000
中国的未来，说的大一些
05:20
or at large, the world?
118
305000
3000
世界的未来？
05:23
So today I want to talk about young people
119
308000
2000
所以，今天我想基于社交媒体平台
05:25
through the platform of social media.
120
310000
3000
谈谈年轻人
05:28
First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like?
121
313000
3000
首先，他们是谁？他们看起来是什么样子的？
05:31
Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei --
122
316000
2000
这个女孩儿叫郭美美--
05:33
20 years old, beautiful.
123
318000
2000
20岁的漂亮女孩儿
05:35
She showed off her expensive bags,
124
320000
3000
她炫耀自己的名牌包
05:38
clothes and car
125
323000
2000
衣服和汽车
05:40
on her microblog,
126
325000
2000
在自己的微博上
05:42
which is the Chinese version of Twitter.
127
327000
2000
中国版的推特
05:44
And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross
128
329000
4000
同时她自称中国红十字会
05:48
at the Chamber of Commerce.
129
333000
3000
商业总经理
05:51
She didn't realize
130
336000
2000
她并没意识到
05:53
that she stepped on a sensitive nerve
131
338000
2000
她触及了人们的敏感神经
05:55
and aroused national questioning,
132
340000
2000
并引起了整个国家的质疑
05:57
almost a turmoil,
133
342000
2000
几乎是一片混乱
05:59
against the credibility of Red Cross.
134
344000
3000
质疑红十字会的信誉
06:02
The controversy was so heated
135
347000
3000
论战非常激烈
06:05
that the Red Cross had to open a press conference
136
350000
2000
红十字会不得不召开新闻发布会
06:07
to clarify it,
137
352000
2000
进行澄清
06:09
and the investigation is going on.
138
354000
2000
同时调查也进行着
06:11
So far, as of today,
139
356000
3000
截至今日
06:14
we know that she herself made up that title --
140
359000
3000
我们所知的是她自己编造了那个头衔--
06:17
probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity.
141
362000
3000
也许是因为她觉得和慈善扯上关系很值得炫耀
06:20
All those expensive items
142
365000
2000
那些奢侈品
06:22
were given to her as gifts
143
367000
2000
都是她的男友送她的
06:24
by her boyfriend,
144
369000
2000
礼物
06:26
who used to be a board member
145
371000
2000
她男友曾是红十字会商业部下属部门的
06:28
in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce.
146
373000
3000
的一位董事
06:31
It's very complicated to explain.
147
376000
3000
很难理清其中的关系
06:34
But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it.
148
379000
3000
但不管怎样，公众还是不买帐
06:37
It is still boiling.
149
382000
2000
依旧群情激愤
06:39
It shows us a general mistrust
150
384000
3000
这表现出的是一种对以往
06:42
of government or government-backed institutions,
151
387000
3000
缺少机构透明度的政府或是拥有政府背景机构的
06:45
which lacked transparency in the past.
152
390000
3000
信任缺失
06:48
And also it showed us
153
393000
2000
这件事同样表明了
06:50
the power and the impact of social media
154
395000
3000
作为社交媒体的微博所拥有的力量
06:53
as microblog.
155
398000
2000
和影响力
06:55
Microblog boomed in the year of 2010,
156
400000
3000
微博兴起于2010年
06:58
with visitors doubled
157
403000
2000
伴随着翻一倍的访问量
07:00
and time spent on it tripled.
158
405000
3000
和三倍使用时间的激增
07:03
Sina.com, a major news portal,
159
408000
2000
新浪网，主要的新闻门户网站
07:05
alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.
160
410000
4000
拥有一亿四千多万微博用户
07:09
On Tencent, 200 million.
161
414000
2000
腾讯，2亿
07:11
The most popular blogger --
162
416000
2000
最受欢迎的博主--
07:13
it's not me --
163
418000
2000
不是我自己--
07:15
it's a movie star,
164
420000
2000
是为影星
07:17
and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.
165
422000
4000
她拥有九百五十多万关注者或是粉丝
07:21
About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people,
166
426000
3000
其中约八成的使用者是年轻人
07:24
under 30 years old.
167
429000
3000
不到30岁
07:27
And because, as you know,
168
432000
2000
如你所知，因为
07:29
the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government,
169
434000
3000
传统媒体依然在政府严格的监管下
07:32
social media offers an opening
170
437000
2000
所以社交媒体就提供了一个
07:34
to let the steam out a little bit.
171
439000
2000
信息公开的小缺口
07:36
But because you don't have many other openings,
172
441000
3000
但是因为你没有太多其他渠道
07:39
the heat coming out of this opening
173
444000
3000
仅从这个缺口传出的信息
07:42
is sometimes very strong, active
174
447000
3000
有的时候非常的激烈，活跃
07:45
and even violent.
175
450000
2000
甚至带有暴力
07:47
So through microblogging,
176
452000
2000
因此通过微博的方式
07:49
we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.
177
454000
3000
我们可以去更好的了解中国的年轻人
07:52
So how are they different?
178
457000
2000
那么他们如何不同呢？
07:54
First of all, most of them were born
179
459000
2000
首先，他们大多生于
07:56
in the 80s and 90s,
180
461000
2000
80和90后
07:58
under the one-child policy.
181
463000
3000
在计划生育政策下
08:01
And because of selected abortion
182
466000
2000
基于重男轻女的原因
08:03
by families who favored boys to girls,
183
468000
2000
许多家庭进行选择性流产
08:05
now we have ended up
184
470000
2000
造成现在
08:07
with 30 million more young men than women.
185
472000
3000
男性比女性多3千万的现状
08:10
That could pose
186
475000
2000
这可能会给
08:12
a potential danger to the society,
187
477000
2000
社会带来潜在风险
08:14
but who knows;
188
479000
2000
但谁又知道呢
08:16
we're in a globalized world,
189
481000
2000
我们活在全球化的世界
08:18
so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.
190
483000
4000
所以他们可以找别的国家的女友
08:22
Most of them have fairly good education.
191
487000
3000
他们普遍受过良好的教育
08:25
The illiteracy rate in China among this generation
192
490000
3000
中国这一代人中的文盲率
08:28
is under one percent.
193
493000
3000
不到1%
08:31
In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.
194
496000
3000
城市里80%的孩子可以接受大学教育
08:34
But they are facing an aging China
195
499000
4000
但是他们正面临着中国的老龄化
08:38
with a population above 65 years old
196
503000
3000
65岁以上的人口比重
08:41
coming up with seven-point-some percent this year,
197
506000
3000
今年达到了百分之七点多
08:44
and about to be 15 percent
198
509000
2000
并且可能在2030年
08:46
by the year of 2030.
199
511000
2000
达到百分之十五
08:48
And you know we have the tradition
200
513000
2000
众所周知我们有这样的传统
08:50
that younger generations support the elders financially,
201
515000
2000
那就是年轻人要供养老年人
08:52
and taking care of them when they're sick.
202
517000
2000
并在他们生病的时候照顾他们
08:54
So it means young couples
203
519000
2000
这就意味着年轻的夫妇
08:56
will have to support four parents
204
521000
3000
将要供养四位老人
08:59
who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.
205
524000
4000
中国人口平均寿命为73岁
09:03
So making a living is not that easy
206
528000
2000
所以年轻人要过生活
09:05
for young people.
207
530000
2000
并不容易
09:07
College graduates are not in short supply.
208
532000
3000
大学毕业生供过于求
09:10
In urban areas,
209
535000
2000
在城市里
09:12
college graduates find the starting salary
210
537000
2000
大学毕业生找到的第一份工作
09:14
is about 400 U.S. dollars a month,
211
539000
2000
月薪大约在400美元左右
09:16
while the average rent
212
541000
2000
但是平均房租
09:18
is above $500.
213
543000
2000
约为500美元以上
09:20
So what do they do? They have to share space --
214
545000
3000
那么他们怎么办呢？他们不得不合租--
09:23
squeezed in very limited space
215
548000
2000
挤在非常有限的空间内
09:25
to save money --
216
550000
2000
为了省钱--
09:27
and they call themselves "tribe of ants."
217
552000
3000
他们把自己叫做“蚁族”
09:30
And for those who are ready to get married
218
555000
2000
对于那些准备结婚
09:32
and buy their apartment,
219
557000
2000
自己买房的人来说
09:34
they figured out they have to work
220
559000
2000
他们不得不为此工作
09:36
for 30 to 40 years
221
561000
2000
30到40年
09:38
to afford their first apartment.
222
563000
2000
才能负担得起他们的第一套房子
09:40
That ratio in America
223
565000
2000
同样的数据在美国
09:42
would only cost a couple five years to earn,
224
567000
2000
仅仅需要花费一对夫妇5年的积蓄
09:44
but in China it's 30 to 40 years
225
569000
3000
但在房地产价格飞涨的中国
09:47
with the skyrocketing real estate price.
226
572000
4000
则需要30到40年
09:51
Among the 200 million migrant workers,
227
576000
3000
在两亿的外来务工者中
09:54
60 percent of them are young people.
228
579000
3000
六成是年轻人
09:57
They find themselves sort of sandwiched
229
582000
2000
他们发现自己可以说是夹在
09:59
between the urban areas and the rural areas.
230
584000
3000
城市和农村之间
10:02
Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside,
231
587000
3000
他们中的大多数不想再回到农村去
10:05
but they don't have the sense of belonging.
232
590000
2000
但却缺少归属感
10:07
They work for longer hours
233
592000
2000
他们工作时间很长
10:09
with less income, less social welfare.
234
594000
3000
收入和社会福利却很少
10:12
And they're more vulnerable
235
597000
2000
同时他们却更加脆弱
10:14
to job losses,
236
599000
2000
对于失业
10:16
subject to inflation,
237
601000
2000
通货膨胀
10:18
tightening loans from banks,
238
603000
2000
银行信贷紧缩
10:20
appreciation of the renminbi,
239
605000
2000
人民币升值
10:22
or decline of demand
240
607000
2000
或是欧美国家
10:24
from Europe or America
241
609000
2000
对于他们所生产商品
10:26
for the products they produce.
242
611000
2000
的需求下降
10:28
Last year, though,
243
613000
2000
去年
10:30
an appalling incident
244
615000
2000
有一起令人震惊的事件
10:32
in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China:
245
617000
3000
发生在中国南方一家原始设备制造商的园区内
10:35
13 young workers
246
620000
2000
13名年轻的工人
10:37
in their late teens and early 20s
247
622000
2000
在他们20岁左右的年纪
10:39
committed suicide,
248
624000
2000
选择了自杀
10:41
just one by one like causing a contagious disease.
249
626000
4000
一个接一个就像传染病一样
10:45
But they died because of all different personal reasons.
250
630000
4000
他们的动机却是各种不同的个人原因
10:49
But this whole incident
251
634000
2000
但是整个事件
10:51
aroused a huge outcry from society
252
636000
2000
却唤起社会对于外来务工人员
10:53
about the isolation,
253
638000
2000
身体和精神
10:55
both physical and mental,
254
640000
2000
两方面被孤立的
10:57
of these migrant workers.
255
642000
2000
质疑和思考
10:59
For those who do return back to the countryside,
256
644000
2000
对于那些返回农村的务工人员
11:01
they find themselves very welcome locally,
257
646000
3000
他们发现自己在当地很受欢迎
11:04
because with the knowledge, skills and networks
258
649000
2000
因为在城市里
11:06
they have learned in the cities,
259
651000
2000
通过网络的辅助
11:08
with the assistance of the Internet,
260
653000
2000
他们掌握了知识，技术和网络
11:10
they're able to create more jobs,
261
655000
3000
他们可以创造更多就业机会
11:13
upgrade local agriculture and create new business
262
658000
2000
提升当地农业水平同时创造新商机
11:15
in the less developed market.
263
660000
2000
在欠发达的市场
11:17
So for the past few years, the coastal areas,
264
662000
3000
因此过去这几年中，沿海地区
11:20
they found themselves in a shortage of labor.
265
665000
3000
出现了劳动力资源短缺
11:23
These diagrams show
266
668000
2000
这些图表展示了
11:25
a more general social background.
267
670000
2000
一个更加普遍的社会背景
11:27
The first one is the Engels coefficient,
268
672000
3000
第一个是恩格尔系数
11:30
which explains that the cost of daily necessities
269
675000
3000
它揭示了日常必需品的消费
11:33
has dropped its percentage
270
678000
2000
下降的百分比
11:35
all through the past decade,
271
680000
2000
在最近十年中
11:37
in terms of family income,
272
682000
2000
家庭收入方面
11:39
to about 37-some percent.
273
684000
3000
下降到37%
11:42
But then in the last two years,
274
687000
2000
但是在过去两年中
11:44
it goes up again to 39 percent,
275
689000
2000
再次上升到39%
11:46
indicating a rising living cost.
276
691000
3000
标志着生活成本的上升
11:49
The Gini coefficient
277
694000
2000
基尼系数
11:51
has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4.
278
696000
3000
已经超过警戒线0.4个百分点
11:54
Now it's 0.5 --
279
699000
2000
现在是0.5--
11:56
even worse than that in America --
280
701000
3000
甚至比美国更糟糕--
11:59
showing us the income inequality.
281
704000
3000
展示出了收入的不平衡
12:02
And so you see this whole society
282
707000
2000
同时你可以发现整个社会
12:04
getting frustrated
283
709000
2000
对于缺少流动性
12:06
about losing some of its mobility.
284
711000
3000
变得失去信心
12:09
And also, the bitterness and even resentment
285
714000
3000
同时，对于权力和财富的
12:12
towards the rich and the powerful
286
717000
2000
仇恨心理
12:14
is quite widespread.
287
719000
2000
非常普遍
12:16
So any accusations of corruption
288
721000
2000
所以任何对于权力部门或商业领域
12:18
or backdoor dealings between authorities or business
289
723000
4000
的腐败或幕后交易的指控
12:22
would arouse a social outcry
290
727000
2000
都会唤起社会的不满
12:24
or even unrest.
291
729000
2000
甚至是骚乱
12:26
So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging,
292
731000
4000
因此通过微博上的一些热门话题
12:30
we can see what young people care most about.
293
735000
3000
我们可以发现年轻人最关心的是什么
12:33
Social justice and government accountability
294
738000
2000
社会正义和政府问责制
12:35
runs the first in what they demand.
295
740000
3000
名列前茅
12:38
For the past decade or so,
296
743000
2000
最近的十年间
12:40
a massive urbanization and development
297
745000
4000
大规模的城市化和城市发展
12:44
have let us witness a lot of reports
298
749000
3000
让我们看到了许多
12:47
on the forced demolition
299
752000
2000
关于私有财产强制拆迁
12:49
of private property.
300
754000
2000
的报道
12:51
And it has aroused huge anger and frustration
301
756000
3000
这同样在年轻人中引起了强烈的
12:54
among our young generation.
302
759000
2000
愤怒和失望
12:56
Sometimes people get killed,
303
761000
2000
人们有时因此而死
12:58
and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.
304
763000
4000
有的时候为了保卫自己的财产不惜自焚
13:02
So when these incidents are reported
305
767000
2000
因此当这些事件越来越频繁的
13:04
more and more frequently on the Internet,
306
769000
2000
被互联网公之于众的时候
13:06
people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.
307
771000
3000
人民要求政府采取行动予以制止
13:09
So the good news is that earlier this year,
308
774000
3000
于是好消息是今年年初的时候
13:12
the state council passed a new regulation
309
777000
3000
国务院通过一项新的规章制度
13:15
on house requisition and demolition
310
780000
3000
关于房屋的征用和拆除
13:18
and passed the right
311
783000
2000
并且把强行拆除
13:20
to order forced demolition from local governments
312
785000
2000
的权利从地方政府转移到
13:22
to the court.
313
787000
2000
法院
13:25
Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety
314
790000
3000
同样的，许多其他事关公共安全的事件
13:28
is a hot topic on the Internet.
315
793000
3000
同样是网络热门议题
13:31
We heard about polluted air,
316
796000
2000
我们听到了空气污染
13:33
polluted water, poisoned food.
317
798000
3000
水污染和有毒食品问题
13:36
And guess what, we have faked beef.
318
801000
3000
你知道吗，我们制造假牛肉
13:39
They have sorts of ingredients
319
804000
2000
他们有种配料
13:41
that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish,
320
806000
3000
你把它刷在一片鸡肉或鱼肉上
13:44
and it turns it to look like beef.
321
809000
3000
它们就变得看起来像牛肉
13:47
And then lately,
322
812000
2000
然后最近
13:49
people are very concerned about cooking oil,
323
814000
2000
人们非常关心食用油问题
13:51
because thousands of people have been found
324
816000
3000
因为数以千计的人发现
13:54
[refining] cooking oil
325
819000
2000
[精炼]食用油
13:56
from restaurant slop.
326
821000
2000
来自餐厅的地沟油
13:58
So all these things
327
823000
2000
于是所有这些
14:00
have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.
328
825000
4000
引起了来自互联网的巨大反响
14:04
And fortunately,
329
829000
2000
幸运的是
14:06
we have seen the government
330
831000
2000
我们看到政府部门
14:08
responding more timely and also more frequently
331
833000
3000
更加及时，更加频繁的对公众关心的问题
14:11
to the public concerns.
332
836000
2000
作出反应
14:13
While young people seem to be very sure
333
838000
2000
同时年轻人看起来更加关注
14:15
about their participation
334
840000
2000
自己在公共政策制定中
14:17
in public policy-making,
335
842000
2000
的参与性
14:19
but sometimes they're a little bit lost
336
844000
2000
但是他们有时有一点点迷失于
14:21
in terms of what they want for their personal life.
337
846000
3000
他们想要什么样的个人生活
14:24
China is soon to pass the U.S.
338
849000
2000
中国很快将要超越美国
14:26
as the number one market
339
851000

最大的市场--
14:30
that's not including the Chinese expenditures
341

2000
这还不包括中国人在欧洲或者其他地方
14:32
in Europe and elsewhere.
342
857000
2000
的消费
14:34
But you know what, half of those consumers
343
859000
3000
但是你知道吗？这些消费群体中的一半
14:37
are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S. dollars.
344
862000
3000
收入在2000美元以下
14:40
They're not rich at all.
345
865000
2000
他们根本不富裕
14:42
They're taking those bags and clothes
346
867000
3000
他们把那些包和衣服
14:45
as a sense of identity and social status.
347
870000
3000
当作一种身份和社会地位的象征
14:48
And this is a girl explicitly saying
348
873000
2000
这是一个女孩儿在一档电视交友
14:50
on a TV dating show
349
875000
2000
节目中的话
14:52
that she would rather cry in a BMW
350
877000
2000
她说她宁愿坐在宝马车里哭
14:54
than smile on a bicycle.
351
879000
3000
也不愿坐在自行车后笑
14:57
But of course, we do have young people
352
882000
2000
但是，我们当然还是有年轻人
14:59
who would still prefer to smile,
353
884000
2000
仍然会选择微笑
15:01
whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.
354
886000
2000
不管是坐宝马还是自行车
15:03
So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon
355

15:07
called "naked" wedding, or "naked" marriage.
356
892000
3000

15:10
It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding,
357
895000
3000
不是说他们裸体去结婚
15:13
but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married
358
898000

指的是这些年轻夫妇准备好
15:16

15:19

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Yang Lan - Media mogul, TV hostYang Lan is often called “the Oprah of China.” The chair of a multiplatform business empire, Yang is pioneering more-open means of communication in the communist nation.
Why you should listen
Yang Lan’s rise to stardom in China has drawn comparisons to Oprah Winfrey’s success in the US. It’s easy to see why: Yang is a self-made entrepreneur and the most powerful woman in the Chinese media. As chair of Sun Media Investment Holdings, a business empire she built with her husband, Yang is a pioneer of open communication.
Yang started her journalism career by establishing the first current-events TV program in China. She created and hosted many other groundbreaking shows, starting with the chatfest Yang Lan One on One. The popular Her Village, which now includes an online magazine and website, brings together China’s largest community of professional women (more than 200 million people a month).
Yang, who served as an ambassador for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, wields her influence for philanthropic endeavors, too. She founded the Sun Culture Foundation in 2005 to raise awareness about poverty and to promote cross-cultural communication.
