程度副詞

When you're a kid, you get asked this one particular question a lot. It really gets kind of annoying.

當你還小的時候 你應該常常被問到這個問題 被問的都煩了

What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, adults are hoping for answers like "I want to be an Astronaut" or

你長大之後想做什麼？大人都希望聽到孩子說：「我想要當一個太空人」

"I want to be a Neurosurgeon". You adults and your imaginations. Kids, they are most likely to answer with

或是「我想成為神經外科醫師」這是你們大人的幻想，小孩比較可能會回答

Pro Skateboarder,Surfer or Minecraft player. I asked my little brother and he said, "Seriously dude, I'm ten,  I have no idea

溜冰選手 衝浪者 遊戲玩家 我問過我弟弟相同的問題 他說：「老兄，我才十歲，能有什麼想法」

, probably a Pro Skier, let's go get some ice cream." See, us kids are going to answer with something

「也許滑冰選手吧，去吃冰淇淋吧」看吧 我們小孩子這時候會回答一些

we're stoked on, what we think is cool, what we have experience with and thats typically the opposite of what

我們喜歡的事物 我們覺得很酷的東西 我們體驗過的 而這種回答通常來說都和大人想的不一樣

adults want to hear.But if you ask a little kid, sometimes you'll get the best answer. Something so simple,

都不是大人想聽的 不過如果你問小孩 有時候可能會聽到一個你認為最完美的答案 是一個很簡單的回答

so obvious and really profound. When I grow up, I want to be happy. For me, when I grow up, I want to continue

很清楚又很有深度的答案 「我長大以後，我要快樂」 對我來說 長大之後 我想要繼續的

to be happy like I am now. I'm stoked to be here at TED, I mean I've been watching TED videos for as long

得到快樂 就像現在的我一樣 我很嚮往來到TED演講 我意思是說 從我有記憶以來

as I can remember. But I never thought I'd make it on stage here so soon. I mean I just became a teenager and like

就開始收看TED 但我從沒想過自己能在這個年紀就站上這個舞台 我不過是一個青少年

most teenage boys, I spend most of my time wondering how did my room get so messy all on its own?

就像一般的青少年 常常都浪費時間在思考 為什麼我的房間可以這麼亂

Did I take a shower today? And the most perplexing of all, how do I get girls to like me? Neuroscientists say that

我今天洗過澡了嗎？比較複雜的問題頂多就是 我要怎麼讓女生喜歡我？ 神經學家說過

the teenage brain is pretty weird. Our prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped but we actually have more neurons than

青少年的腦袋非常奇怪 我們前額葉還沒有發育完全但我們的神經元其實比大人還多

adults which is why we can be so creative and impulsive and moody and get bummed out. But what bums me

這就是為什麼我們比較有創造力 又容易衝動 情緒化 常悶悶不樂 但一直讓我苦惱的是

out is to know that a lot of kids today are just wishing to be happy, to be healthy, to be safe, not bullied and be loved

為什麼現在這麼多孩子只期望快樂 平安健康 不要被霸凌

for who they are. So it seems to me when adults say, what do you want to be when you grow up, they just

然後受到大家寵愛 所以常常大人問說 長大之後想變成怎樣的人

assume that you'll be automatically be happy and healthy. But maybe thats not the case. Go to school, go to college,

大人們會以為孩子們就該回答健康和快樂 去上學 去讀大學

get a job, get married, boom then you'll be happy. Right? We don't seem to make learning how to be happy

找一份工作 結婚 碰! 然後就可以快樂了 對吧？ 我們似乎沒有在學校學過如何變得快樂

and healthy a priority in our schools. Its separate from schools and for some kids it doesn't exist at all. But what

以及健康至上的道理 這些東西跟學校教育有些脫節 甚至對有些小孩來說 快樂根本不存在

if we didn't make it separate? What if we based education on the study and practice of being happy and healthy?

那如果我們不要把快樂和健康與學校分離 如果我們讓大家學習並且練習怎麼變快樂 變健康呢？

Because thats what it is, a practice, and a simple practice at that. Education is important but why is being

因為這不過是個簡單的練習 教育雖然很重要

happy and healthy not considered education. I just don't get it. So I've been studying the science of being happy and healthy.

但健康和快樂卻沒有被視為教育的一環 我不明白 所以我讀過關於快樂和健康的科學

It really comes down to practicing these eight things. Exercise, Diet and Nutrition, Time in Nature, Contribution

要實踐起來需要有八件課題 運動 飲食和營養 與自然共處的時間 服務他人並為貢獻社會

and Service to Others, Relationships, Recreation, Relaxation and Stress Management, and Religious

人際關係 娛樂 休息和壓力管理 最後是宗教

or Spiritual Involvement. Yes, got that one. So these eight things come from Dr. Roger Walsh. He calls them

呼..太好了沒忘詞 這八個課題是由Dr.Roger Walsh所提出來的

therapeutic lifestyle changes or TLCs for short. He's a scientist that studies how to be happy and healthy. In

生活型態治癒療法 或簡稱TLCs 他是一位研究如何變得健康快樂的科學家

researching this talk, I got a chance to ask him a few questions like do you think better schools today are making

為了這次的演說 我得到一個機會能夠問他一些問題 像是那些比較好的學校有沒有比較重視TLCs

these eight TLCs a priority? His response was no surprise. It was essentially no. But he did say that many people

有沒有把TLCs當成優先的學習 而他回答沒有 但他也提到說

do try to get this kind of education outside of the traditional arena through reading or practices such as

有很多人在傳統學校教育環境以外的地方 學習並練習一些

meditation or yoga. But what I thought was his best response was that much of education is oriented, for better

像是冥想打坐或瑜珈這種東西 不過他的回答之中 最讓我認同的是 他說教育的導向先不論好壞

or worse, towards making a living rather than making a life. In 2006, Sir Kenneth Robinson gave the most popular

目的一直當在教我們如何度日子 而不是如何活出生命 在2006年 Kenneth Robinson先生在TED做了一個

TED talk of all time, Schools Kill Creativity. His message is that creativity is just as important as literacy and we should

有史以來最受歡迎的演講 學校殺死了創意 他想表達的是 創意就跟讀書寫字都很重要

treat it with the same status. A lot of parents watch those videos and some of those parents like mine counted

許多父母看了這些影片之後 有一部分的家長相當認同

it as one of the reasons they felt confident to pull their kids from traditional schools, to try something different.

這個演講使他們更有信心讓小孩遠離學校死板板的教育 教他們一些別的東西

I realize that I am part of this small but growing revolution of kids who are going about their education differently.

我現在才認知到我是屬於這群少數不是在傳統學校裡學習的小孩

And you know what? It freaks a lot of people out. Even though I was only nine when my parents pulled me out

而且你知道嗎？ 這演講讓很多人感到驚恐 當我才九歲 我的爸媽

of the school system, I can still remember my mom being in tears when some of her friends told her she was

就讓我離開了學校的教育體制 我到現在還記得當時她還因為一些流言蜚語流淚

crazy and it was a stupid idea. Looking back, I'm thankful she didn't cave to peer pressure and I think she is too.

她的朋友都說她瘋了 同時告訴她脫離學校教育是愚蠢的想法 但現在回頭看 我真的很感謝她沒有因為同儕壓力就退縮

So out of the 200,000,000 people that have watched Sir Ken Robinson's talk, why aren't there more kids like

在看過Ken Robinson先生的演講的兩億人之中 怎麼沒有父母用其他方式教育小孩

me out there? Shane McConkey is my hero, I loved him because he was the worlds best skier but then one day

一個像我這樣的小孩？ Shane McConkey是我的英雄 我非常欣賞他是因為 他是世界上最棒的滑冰好手 不過就在某一天

I realized what I really loved about Shane. He was a hacker, not a computer hacker, he hacked skiing. His creativity

我發現我真正欣賞他的原因 他是一個Hacker 不是電腦駭客那種駭客 而是他破解(hack)了滑雪 他用他的創意

and inventions made skiing what it is today and why I love to ski. A lot of people think of hackers as geeky

造就了現在的滑雪活動 這也是我為什麼我熱愛滑雪 很多人都認為駭客就是阿宅

computer nerds who live in their parent's basement and spread computer viruses. But I don't see it that way.

使用電腦成癡 成天躲在父母家的地下室散播電腦病毒 但我不這麼看待他們

Hackers are innovators. Hackers are people who challenge and change the systems to make them work differently,

駭客是創新家 他們不斷嘗試突破 改變制度 讓程式用不同的方式運作

to make them work better. Its just how they think, its a mindset. I'm growing up in a world that needs more people

運作得更好 這就是他們所想的 這是一種思維 我們現今世界上 需要更多有創意想法的人

with the hacker mindset and not just for technology. Everything is being up for being hacked, even skiing, even

而不是純粹只有在科技上 每件事情都有可以創新之處 滑雪也好 教育也好

education. So whether its Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg or Shane McConkey, having the hacker mindset can change

就像是 Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Shane McConkey 他們都秉直著這種駭客精神 足以改變

the world. Healthy, happy, creativity and the hacker mindset are all a large part of my education. I call it

改變這個世界 健康、快樂、創意以及駭客精神 占了我受教育的一大部分 我把這種學習方式稱為

hackschooling. I don't use any one particular curriculum and I'm not dedicated to any one particular approach.

駭客教育 我並沒有一個很固定的課表 我也不會只鑽研特定一種方法

I hack my education. I take advantage of opportunities in my community and through a network of my friends

我破解了我的教育 我從周遭找到學習的機會 從社區裡 從朋友那

and family. I take advantage of opportunities to experience what I'm learning. And I'm not afraid to look for shortcuts

從家人 我會找機會實驗看看我所學到的東西 我不會害怕去抄捷徑

or hacks to get a better, faster result. Its like a remix or a mashup of learning. Its flexible, opportunistic and it never

或創新的方式來得到很快的結果 就像是混合或混搭式的學習 這種學習是很有彈性的 讓你看到更多機會

loses sight of making happy, healthy, and creativity a priority. And it's the cool part because its a mindset

同時又不失快樂、健康、創意 最酷的是這是一種思維

not a system. Hackschooling can be used by anyone even traditional schools. So, what does my school look like?

而不是死板的體制 駭客學習可以應用在每一個人身上 甚至傳統學校中 那麼 我的學校到底長什麼樣子？

Well it looks like Starbucks a lot of the time. But like most kids, I study a lot of math, science, history and writing.

大部分的時間其實就長得像星巴克 而且和大多數的小孩一樣 我也讀數學 自然科學  歷史 寫作

I didn't used to like to write because my teachers made me write about butterflies and rainbows and I wanted to write

我還不喜歡寫作是因為我的老師要求我寫一些像是蝴蝶 彩虹 但我真正想寫的不是這些

about skiing. It was a relief when my good friend's mom started The Squaw Valley Kids Institute where I got

而是滑雪 讓我感到欣慰的是 我好朋友的媽媽推動了The Squaw Valley Kids Institute這個機構

to write through my experiences and my interests while connecting with great speakers from around the nation

在這裡我可以跟全國傑出的演講者產生交集 寫出任何我的體驗以及我有興趣的

and that sparked my love of writing. I realize that once you're motivated to learn something, you can get a lot done

這讓我燃起了寫作的興趣 我了解到當你想去學某些事情 你可以在短時間之內

in a short amount of time and on your own. Starbucks is pretty great for that. Hacking physics was fun. We learned

就完成很多事情 而且是靠你自己的力量 星巴克就是好在這裡 破解物理很有趣 從中我們可以學到

all about Newton and Galileo and we experienced some basic physics concepts like kinetic energy through

關於牛頓和伽利略 而且可以真正學到很多基本的物理概念 像是透過實驗 犯錯 我們可以學到動能

experimenting and making mistakes. My favorite was the giant Newton's cradle that we made out of bowling balls.

我最喜歡的是透過保齡球創造一個巨大的牛頓擺

No bacci balls. We experimented with a lot of other things like bacci balls and even giant jawbreakers.

說錯了 是八奇球 我們可以體驗到很多很多的事物 像是八奇球 甚至可以學會很難唸的字

Project Discovery's ropes course is awesome and slightly stressful. When you're sixty feet off the ground,

Discovery專題中的繩結課非常的棒又讓人有些微緊張 當你離地面六呎高的時候

you have to learn how to handle your fears, communicate clearly and most importantly trust each other.

你得學會怎麼控制你的恐懼 清楚的和別人溝通 最重要的是要學會信任

Community organizations play a big part in my education. A High Fives Foundations Basics Program: Being Aware and

社區的組織扮演了我學習中很重要的角色 其中A High Fives Foundations的基礎課程：提高警覺

Safe in Critical Situations, we spent a day with the Squaw Valley ski patrol to learn more about mountain

並在險惡情況中保平安 我們花了整天的時間和Squaw Valley的滑雪巡邏員學習在山中的安全

safety. Then the next day we switched to the science of snow, weather, and avalanches. But most importantly, we

接著隔天我們學習自然科學 雪 天氣 雪崩 但最重要的還是

learned that making bad decisions puts you and your friends at risk. Young should talk about what brings

這時候做出錯誤的決定會讓你跟你的朋友都陷入危機 年輕人應該要學習怎麼樣

history to life. You study a famous character in history, so you can stand on stage and perform as that character.

去把歷史變得栩栩如生 像是你在歷史中讀到了一個很有名的人物 你可以站到台上精確的詮釋那個角色

and answer any question about their lifetime. In this photo, you see Al Capone and Bob Marley getting grilled with

然後就可以回答一些關於他那個年代的問題 在這張圖片中 你可以看到 Al Capone和Bob Marley在維吉尼亞市的Piper's Opera House

questions at the historical Piper's Opera House in Virginia City, the same stage where Harry Houdini got his

在台上接受觀眾的拷問 同時正是胡迪尼發跡的地方

start. Time in nature is really important to me. Its calm, quiet and I get to just log out of reality. I spend one day a week

花時間接觸自然對我來說很重要 它非常的寧靜 安靜 而且讓我能與現實抽離 每一週我都會選一天

outside all day. At my Foxwalker classes, our goal is to be able to survive in the wilderness with just a knife.

整天在外面 在我的Foxwalker教室中 我們的目標就是要能憑著一把刀在野外求生

We learn to listen to nature, we learn to sense our surroundings and I've gained a spiritual connection to nature

我們學習去傾聽自然的聲音 我們學習去感受周遭 我們的精神就能與自然結合

that I never knew existed. But the best part is that we get to make spears, bows and arrows, fires with just a bow

與常常被我所遺忘的大自然結合 最酷的部分就是我們得自己做長茅 弓箭 生火

drill and survival shelters for the snowy nights when we camp out. Hanging out at The Moment Factory where they

然後在遮蔽中求生存 而在The Moment Factory 這裡就是他們製作一些

hand make skis and design clothes has really inspired me to one day have my own business. The guys at the factory

雪橇 設計衣服 激發了我想要擁有自己事業的憧憬 在這間工廠的人

have showed me why I need to be good at math, be creative and get good at sewing. So I got an internship at

告訴了我為什麼我要學數學 為什麼要有創意 為什麼要學習縫紉 於是我跑到Big Short Brand實習

Big Short Brand to get better at design and sewing. Between fetching lunch, scrubbing toilets and breaking

在Big Short Brand中學習怎麼去設計 縫紉 就在幫忙打雜之際 打菜 掃廁所

their vacuum cleaner, I'm getting to contribute to clothing design, customizing hacks and selling them. The people

有時還弄壞他們的吸塵器 我漸漸能夠在服裝設計 客製化 行銷等方面帶來一點貢獻

who work there are happy, healthy, creative and stoked to be doing what they're doing. This is by far my favorite class.

在那裏工作的人都很快樂 健康 有創意 而且熱愛他們正在做的工作 這是在目前為止我上過最棒的課

So, this is where I'm really happy. Powder days. And its a good metaphor for my life, my education, my

這就是讓我真正能夠快樂的地方 雪花遍野 也就很像是我的人生 我受的教育

hackschooling. If everyone skied this mountain like most people think of education, everyone would be skiing

我的駭客教育 如果每個人在山上滑雪都照著學校的教的來滑 大家確實都會滑雪

the same line probably the safest and most of the powder would go untouched. I look at this and see a thousand

每個人都會溜同一條線路 然後大部分的地方都沒有人去嘗試 但對我而言 在滑雪中我可以看到千千萬萬個可以走的路線

possibilites. Dropping the cornice , shredding the spine, looking for a tranny from cliff to cliff. Skiing to me is freedom

飛簷走壁 擊碎雪堆 可以在崖與崖之間尋找出路 對我來說 滑雪就是一種自由

and so is my education. Its about being creative, doing things differently, its about community and helping each

這就是我受的教育 富有創造力 用不同方式做事情 是一個有社區概念互助合作的

other, its about being happy and healthy among my very best friends. So I'm starting to think I know what I want

是和大家的快樂與健康息息相關的 於是乎 我開始思索我到底想要些什麼

to do when I grow up. But if you ask me what do I want to be when I grow up, I'll always know that I want to be happy.

長大後想做的事 如果你問我說我長大想要做什麼 我一定會很清楚的知道 我要的就是快樂
