公子、小姐一秒切换,她是才华与颜值并存的全国季军汤天祎
日期: 2017-03-31



半决赛她是帅气潇洒的“汤公子”,决赛她是知性动人的“红裙小姐”。
 
她是第22届中国日报社“21世纪·可口可乐杯”全国英语演讲比赛总决赛季军,“最受媒体欢迎奖”获得者汤天祎。站上舞台就是风景,但“汤公子”行走江湖绝不仅仅靠造型。颜值、才华必须两手抓!
 

阴差阳错成了年龄最大的选手
 
“21世纪杯”的比赛是很多选手的大学生涯起点处浓墨重彩的一笔,但对于汤天祎来说却是一个告别。已经大四的她在本届选手中是年纪最大的一个。“这次比赛我觉得更多像是给自己大学四年演讲划上一个句号。”她笑着调侃说差一点就赶不上这趟末班车,因为研究生就不能参加“21世纪杯”了。(小二觉得是时候推出研究生组和成人组比赛了,你们觉得呢?)
 
 
其实去年汤天祎也报名参加了“21世纪杯”的比赛,却在海选阶段就被淘汰,无缘在母校北京外国语大学参赛。(What?小二震惊脸,一年时间进步这么神速?!)去年半决赛的演讲主题是“Two Cheers for 'Made in China'? ”题解主要围绕中国制造,但汤天祎当时的演讲侧重于谈中国文化。跑题了,讲得再好也于事无补,这个教训接下来参赛的小伙伴们可一定要记牢了! 
 
大学生涯进入尾声,汤天祎也早已做好下一步规划,成绩优异的她被保研北外国际组织项目班,研二将出国进修。
 

最爱的演讲看100遍也不腻
 
汤天祎走上演讲这条路有点巧合。不同于很多选手从中小学就穿梭于各个赛场间,汤天祎大一的时候才抱着玩玩的心态去参加学习英语演讲队的选拔,一不小心选上了,一不小心就在演讲这条路上越走越远了。
 
“一定要去多听多看native speaker的演讲。”汤天祎偏爱英式发音,经常观摩英国政客的演讲,她最喜欢的演讲者是英国前首相卡梅伦。苏格兰公投前卡梅伦主题Let’s stick together的演讲,汤天祎看了无数遍。“每次第二天有比赛,我都会看一个小时自己最喜欢的演讲视频找状态。”
 
本届选手中,她也相当看好冠军陈麒羽。“因为她讲故事,好的演讲者必须学会讲故事。我应该向她学习,因为我不太擅长讲个人温情的故事。”
 

用别人的母语向世界展示真正21世纪的中国
 
虽然无缘“最具潜力奖”代表中国出征国际公共演讲比赛,汤天祎还是对中国英语演讲者肩负的重任深有感触。她分享了一个小故事,第一次去美国,美国的高中生竟然问她中国有没有厕所。“不了解中国的外国人在物质层面都对中国有如此大的误解,那么在精神层面肯定存在更多的偏见。掌握双语甚至三语的中国青年应该充分利用自身优势,用别人的母语传达自己的思想肯定比通过译员翻译更直接,更容易让别人接受。国际公共演讲比赛是非常好的平台,中国青年应该向世界展示真正的21世纪的中国。”
 

我就是我,不一样的烟火
 
第一眼看到汤天祎,你很难不被她的外表吸引:干练、利落。“半决赛女选手都穿裙子,我喜欢和别人不一样,所以选择穿西服。”身材高挑的她还爆了自己的一个糗料——跳舞非常烂。国标课全班成绩最差,还连累了舞伴。(小二也是万万没想到……)
 
业余除了演讲,汤天祎喜欢研究服装搭配,最近偏爱Normcore风格,闲暇还会淘一些特别的小方巾。如此有品位,感觉设计界和模特界也是很需要“汤公子”呢。

 
演讲稿:
 
Globalization: Enough is Enough?
 
6am when I put on this ZARA dress, I found its label writes this: “Designed in Spain. Made in Vietnam.” And it is now available all over the Chinese market. ZARA is the fastest among various fashion brands. With advantages generated by globalization, from raw material to labor, from warehouse to shipping, it takes only 12 to 15 days for ZARA to turn a design on sketch paper to clothes on shelves. 
 
Globalization has eliminated numerous barriers and made the world flat ever since it gained momentum in the 1990s. But recently it seems to be rolled back by someone like Donald Trump in US and Marine Le Pen in France. Public opinions are being misled by their claim that recoiling from globalization seems to be the panacea to the two most urgent problems troubling many people in the west—employment and refugees. But can we buy the story?
 
Withdrawing from TPP seems to be an act that can move factories back from third world countries so that new jobs can be created and therefore unemployment rate reduced. However, the cost of the products would also be raised since the labor at home and the transport of raw materials are more expensive, which causes greater pressure on all the families in terms of household expenditure. People may manage to get new jobs but the living standard does not improve. And this is the story that anti-globalization politicians would never tell to the voters.
 
In addition to the concern of employment, the influx of refugees also touches a highly sensitive nerve. Rejecting asylum seekers may promote domestic security in the short run, but it tramples what’s equally important--humanitarianism and responsibilities. Refugees such as those from Syria are not born refugees; they are made refugees by the Wars that shattered their homes and countries. The real solution therefore is not isolation but globalization because globalization promotes interdependence among nations whereby conflicts and wars are more likely to be prevented.
 
Yes, there are defects in globalization, such as environmental deterioration, polarization between the rich and the poor, and exploitation of workers, to name just a few. But what we need to do is not putting an end to it but putting it right. As the second largest economy of the world, China should hold a lead. We should promote global governance fight against contamination. We should strike a balance between efficiency and equity so that different countries, different social classes and different groups of people can all enjoy the benefits of globalization. 
 
Globalization has just stepped into its twenties, pretty much like us young adults. Every twenty something is so energetic, striding to achieve more and surely deserving a second chance to pull back from the deviation. As we consumers are enjoying benefits and convenience brought by ZARA and other international brands, we see clearer that the question now is not whether to accept or reject globalization but how to make it fairer, cleaner and a win-win for all.
