【TED】是一個會議的名稱，它是英文technology,entertainment, design三個單詞的首字母縮寫。它是社會各界精英交流的盛會，這里有當(dāng)代最杰出的思想家，這里有當(dāng)代最優(yōu)秀的科學(xué)家，這里有迸發(fā)著最閃耀的思想火花，這里孕育著最光輝的夢想。

【本段全文聽寫】

Hints：
elongate
intellectual
stomach crunches
The third observation is we have to be careful with the time frame that we choose upon which to judge our balance. Before I went back to work after my year at home, I sat down and I wrote out a detailed, step-by-step description of the ideal balanced day that I aspired to. We need to elongate the time frame upon which we judge the balance in our life, but we need to elongate it without falling into the trap of the "I'll have a life when I retire, when my kids have left home, when my wife has divorced me, my health is failing, I've got no mates or interests left." A day is too short; "after I retire" is too long. There's got to be a middle way. A fourth observation: We need to approach balance in a balanced way. Lovely though physical exercise may be, there are other parts to life -- there's the intellectual side; there's the emotional side; there's the spiritual side. And to be balanced, I believe we have to attend to all of those areas -- not just do 50 stomach crunches.
第三點是，我們得好好考慮，以什么樣的時間單位來衡量我們試圖實現(xiàn)的平衡。在一年賦閑時，就在我回到工作崗位之前，我坐下來細細地一步一步地勾勒了一幅我向往的完美一天的 理想藍圖。 我們得把時間單位拉長來衡量我們期望的平衡，但是這一拉長也不是沒有限度的。比如，你最好別說：“我會享受生活的，當(dāng)我退休了，當(dāng)子女也都獨立，當(dāng)妻子已棄我而去，當(dāng)我的身體大不如前，當(dāng)我已沒有朋友，也沒有任何興趣愛好時?！?一天太短，退休又太長。肯定會有折中的辦法。 第四點心得：要實現(xiàn)平衡，我們得采取“平衡”的辦法。 健身運動的確是不錯，但生活的含義其實很豐富。知性生活，情感生活，精神生活。如果想達到平衡，我覺得我們得 關(guān)照以上的各個方面——僅僅50個仰臥起坐是不夠的。
