雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe an interesting talk or lecture 有趣的演讲

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

从小到大，我们听过的演讲有很多。但加上有趣的这个限定，可选择的范围就大大缩小了。中国的演讲往往太过严肃并且充满教育意义，不太适合作为这个题目的答案。这时大家可以把自己的目光放远一些。参考下国外的演讲，到ted上找找，或者看看成功人士在大学毕业典礼上的演讲。虽然这些演讲也有自己想要传达的目的。但期间会穿插各种各样的段子，更加有趣一些。

题目

参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

I am going to talk about an interesting lecture that I heard 3 years ago. It is still vivid in my mind. Back then I was eager to improve my English and my teacher recommended a lot of materials and websites, which might be useful. One of them is TED, a website where various people share their experience, research, and knowledge. Its motto is “ideas worth spreading”.

我要说一个我三年前听到的有趣的演讲。它在我脑海中的印象仍然十分清晰。那时，我迫切地想要提升自己的英语。我的老师给我推荐了很多可能有用资料和网站。其中就有TED，那是个各种各样的人分享自己的经验、研究和知识的网站。其宗旨为传播一起值得传播的观点。

I spent a great deal of time on it. Do not copy or repost it. Every day, I browsed through hundreds of lectures, trying to find something that aroused my interest. Then I found one lecture that ranked first at the list of the most played.

我在那上面花费了大量的时间。每天我都浏览上百个演讲，试图找到能激发我兴趣的东西。然后我发现了在最多播放排行榜上排名第1的演讲。

It is about how people’s attention works. Every day, our brain receives enormous information, most of which is useless. So during the process of evolution, our brain has gradually developed a filter mechanism. It rules out a lot of things unconsciously so that we can focus on a specific issue. However, the drawback of this mechanism is that it disables us from doing two things at the same time.

它是关于人们的注意力如何运行的。每天我们的大脑接收到大量的信息，其中大多数都是没有用的。所以在进化的过程中，我们的大脑逐渐形成一套过滤机制。它无意识地排除掉许多东西，从而使我们能够将注意力集中到特定的问题上来。然而，这套机制的缺点是它使我们无法同时做两件事情。

The interesting thing about this lecture is that the lecturer illustrates this by showing how picking pocket works. Through distracting people and making them focus on what he is saying, he takes belongings from them without being noticed. It was amazing.

这个演讲有趣的地方在于演讲者通过展示偷东西是如何进行的来说明这个道理。通过分散人们的注意力并让他们关注他所说的内容，他在没有人注意到的情况下拿走他们的物品。这太神奇了。
