安.摩根认为自己擅于阅读,直到她在自己的书架上发现到不得了的文化盲点;在众多的英、美作家之列,极少作品出自英语世界以外的作家。所以她订出一个豪情万丈的目标-「在一年的历程阅读世界各国的一本书」;现在她鼓励其他的崇尚英风者们去阅读翻译作品。下面是小编为大家收集关于TED英语演讲:我的阅读世界年,欢迎借鉴参考。
演说题目:我的阅读世界年!
演说者:Ann Morgan
It's often said that you can tell a lot about a person by looking at what's on their bookshelves. What do my bookshelves say about me? Well, when I asked myself this question a few years ago, I made an alarming discovery. I'd always thought of myself as a fairly cultured, cosmopolitan sort of person. But my bookshelves told a rather different story. Pretty much all the titles on them were by British or North American authors, and there was almost nothing in translation. Discovering this massive, cultural blind spot in my reading came as quite a shock.
