TED演讲之败中求胜 犯错的价值(1)
So it's 1995, I'm in college, and a friend and I go on a road trip from Providence, Rhode Island to Portland, Oregon.
当时是95年，我在上大学，我和一个朋友开车去玩，从罗得岛的普罗旺斯区出发到奥勒冈州的波特兰市。
And you know, we're young and unemployed, so we do the whole thing on back roads through state parks and national forests
我们年轻，无业，于是整个旅程都在乡间小道，经过州立公园和国家保护森林，
basically the longest route we can possibly take.
我们尽可能绕着最长的路径。
And somewhere in the middle of South Dakota, I turn to my friend and I ask her a question that's been bothering me for 2,000 miles.
在南达科塔州之中某处，我转向我的朋友，问她一个两千英里路途上一直烦恼我的问题。
"What's up with the Chinese character I keep seeing by the side of the road?"
“路边那个一直出现的中文文字到底是什么？”
My friend looks at me totally blankly. There's actually a gentleman in the front row who's doing a perfect imitation of her look.
我的朋友露出疑惑的神情，正如现在坐在第一排的这三位男士所露出的神情一样。
And I'm like, "You know, all the signs we keep seeing with the Chinese character on them."
我说，“你知道的，我们一直看到的那个路牌，写着中文的那个啊。”
She just stares at me for a few moments, and then she cracks up, because she figures out what I'm talking about.
她瞪着我的脸一阵子，突然笑开了，因为她总算知道我所指为何。
And what I'm talking about is this.
我说的是这个。
Right, the famous Chinese character for picnic area.
没错，这就是代表野餐区的那个中文文字。
演讲简介：
每个人都会避免犯错，但或许避免犯错本身就是一种错误？“犯错家”凯瑟琳·舒尔茨告诉我们，或许我们不只该承认错误，更应该大力拥抱人性中“我错故我在”的本质。
