I'm a little nervous, because my wife Yvonne said to me,

我有點緊張，因為我太太怡芳對我說

過去簡單式

she said, "Geoff, you watch the TED Talks."

她說，「傑夫，你有看過TED演講吧。」

我說，「有啊，寶貝，我很愛TED演講。」

She said, "You know, they're like, really smart, talented -- "

她說，「你知道嗎，他們就像，真的很聰明，很有才——。」

我說，「我知道，我知道。」（笑聲）

She said, "They don't want, like, the angry black man."

她說，「他們不想看像是，氣呼呼的黑人。」

So I said, "No, I'm gonna be good, Honey,

所以我說，「不會，我會好好表現，寶貝。

上台前最後一次看看自己我還是看起來很生氣

So this is why I'm excited but I'm angry.

This year, there are going to be millions of our children

that we could -- right now, we could save them all.

我們本來可以，就是現在我們本來可以拯救他們

You saw the quality of the educators who were here.

你們剛剛都看到了在這裡的教育家的品質

Do not tell me they could not reach those kids

那為什麼我們還沒解決這個問題？

Those of us in education have held on to a business plan

我們這些教育界的人只堅持教育企劃案

that we don't care how many millions of young people fail,

卻不在乎有多少百萬的年輕人會失敗

we're going to continue to do the same thing that didn't work,

我們就是要繼續做這件沒有成效的事

and nobody is getting crazy about it -- right? --

也沒人真的會在乎，對吧？──

So here's a business plan that simply does not make any sense.

所以這就是沒有任何意義的教育企劃案

in schools 56 years ago when I first went to school,

and those schools are still lousy today, 56 years later.

56 年之後，今天這些學校依然很爛

And you know something about a lousy school?

Where you say, like, '87 was like a good year, right?

對酒你會說像是87年份是好酒，是吧？

That's now how this thing -- I mean, every single year,

而現在這件事怎樣——我是說每年都一樣

One size fits all, if you get it, fine, and if you don't,

標準尺碼，如果你穿的下，那很好但如果你穿不下

Why haven't we allowed innovation to happen?

Do not tell me we can't do better than this.

不要對我說我們不能比現在更好

Look, you go into a place that's failed kids for 50 years,

聽著，你到一所過去 50 年都失敗的學校

你說，「那，你有什麼計劃？」

Banks used to open and operate between 10 and 3.

以前銀行都只從上午十點開到下午三點

They operated 10 to 3. They were closed for lunch hour.

他們十點到三點營業他們還有午間休息

Now, who can bank between 10 and 3? The unemployed.

到底誰會在十點到三點間去銀行？無業遊民！

They don't need banks. They got no money in the banks.

他們不需要去銀行他們根本沒錢存銀行

是誰創造了這樣的營運模式？對吧？

你知道為什麼嗎？因為他們不在乎

It was about bankers. They created something that worked for them.

這跟銀行家有關他們創造對自己有用的模式

And they don't care whether or not Geoff is upset

he can't go to the bank. Go find another bank.

反正他也不會去銀行讓他去找別間銀行吧

每間銀行都是同樣的模式。對吧？

Now, one day, some crazy banker had an idea.

直到有一天有個瘋狂銀行家有個想法

Maybe we should keep the bank open when people come home from work.

或許我們應該讓銀行開到大家下班以後

They might like that. What about a Saturday?

客戶應該會喜歡這點吧？那星期六呢？

Now look, I'm a technology fan, but I have to admit

你看喔，我是個科技迷，但我得承認

So I was a little slow, and I did not trust technology,

所以我反應有點慢而且我也不太信任科技

and when they first came out with those new contraptions,

他們第一次引進這些新玩意的時候

these tellers that you put in a card and they give you money,

這些自動櫃員機讓你插一張卡就可以領錢

I was like, "There's no way that machine is going to count that money right.

我心想，「這些機器絕不可能算對錢。

So technology has changed. Things have changed.

Why is it that when we had rotary phones,

為什麼我們還在以老式電話時代

when we were having folks being crippled by polio,

還有人感染小兒麻痺變成瘸子的時代

the same way then that we're doing right now?

And if you come up with a plan to change things,

而且如果你提出一個計劃要改變事情

They will say the worst things about you.

I said one day, well, look, if the science says --

我說有一天，嗯，聽好，如果科學說——

this is science, not me -- that our poorest children

這是科學的證據，不是我隨口說說——就是我們最貧窮的孩子

You see where they are in June and say, okay, they're there.

你知道你在六月看到他們來學校你說很好，他們都

You look at them in September, they've gone down.

到了九月你再去看他們，他們都不見了

You say, whoo! So I heard about that in '75

你大叫，哇！所以我在75年聽到這現象

I said, "Oh, wow, this is an important study."

我說，「喔，哇，這是很重要的研究。」

Because it suggests we should do something.

因為這顯示我們該為之做點什麼

Every 10 years they reproduce the same study.

每隔十年他們就會提出同樣的研究報告

The system decides you can't run schools in the summer.

教育體制決定你不能在夏天開學

You know, I always wonder, who makes up those rules?

你知道嗎我總是搞不懂是誰決定這個的

For years I went to -- Look, I went the Harvard Ed School.

憑我多年在——聽好，我上過哈佛教育學院

They said it was the agrarian calendar, and people had —

他們說這是因為農民曆的關係且大家會——

but let me tell you why that doesn't make sense.

我老是搞不懂，我永遠也搞不懂
