斯皮尔伯格在哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿(中

英文对照)

Thank you, thank you, President Faust, and Paul Choi, thank you so much.

非常感谢Faust校长、Paul Choi校长谢谢你们。

It's an honor and a thrill to address this group of distinguished alumni and supportive friends and kvelling parents. We've all gathered to share in the joy of this day, so please join me in congratulating Harvard's Class of XX.

非常荣幸能被邀请成为哈佛XX年毕业典礼的演讲嘉宾,在众位优秀的毕业生、热情的朋友和诸位家长前做演讲。今天让我们一起,祝贺XX届哈佛毕业生顺利毕业。

I can remember my own college graduation, which is easy, since it was only 14 years ago. How many of you took 37 years to graduate? Because, like most of you, I began college in my teens, but sophomore year, I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios, so I dropped out. I told my parents if my movie career didn't go well, I'd re-enroll.

我记得我自己的大学毕业典礼,这不难,因为就是14年以前的事情。你们当中的多少人花了37年才毕业?因为就

像你们中的多数人,我在十几岁时进入大学,但是大二的时候我从环球影城获得了我的梦想工作,所以我休学了。我跟我的父母说,如果我的电影事业不顺,我会重新上学的。

It went all right.

我的电影事业发展得还行。

But eventually, I returned for one big reason. Most people go to college for an education, and some go for their parents, but I went for my kids. I'm the father of seven, and I kept insisting on the importance of going to college, but I hadn't walked the walk. So, in my fifties, I re-enrolled at Cal State - Long Beach, and I earned my degree.

但是我最后还是回到了学校,主要为了一个原因。很多人为了获得教育去上大学,有的人为了父母上大学,而我是为了我的孩子去上的。我是7个孩子的爸爸,我总是不断强调上大学的重要性,可我自己都没上过。所以在我50多岁的时候,我重新进入加州州立大学长滩分校,获得了学位。

I just have to add: It helped that they gave me course credit in paleontology for the work I did on Jurassic Park. That's three units for Jurassic Park, thank you.

我必须补充一点,我获得学位的一个原因是学校为我

在《侏罗纪公园》里所做的,给我了考古学学分。《侏罗纪公园》换得了3个学分,非常感谢。

Well, I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and some of you know, too - but some of you don't. Or maybe you thought you knew but are now questioning that choice. Maybe you're sitting there trying to figure out how to tell your parents that you want to be a doctor and not a comedy writer.

我离开大学是因为我很清楚地知道我想要做什么。你们中的一些人也知道,但是有些人还没弄明白。或者你以为你知道,但是现在开始质疑这个决定。或者你坐在这里,试着想要怎么告诉你的父母,你想要成为一名医生,而不是喜剧编剧。

Well, what you choose to do next is what we call in the movies the 'character-defining moment.' Now, these are moments you're very familiar with, like in the last Star Wars: The Force Awakens, when Rey realizes the force is with her. Or Indiana Jones choosing mission over fear by jumping over a pile of snakes.

你接下来要做的事情,在我们这行叫做“定义角色的时刻”。这些是你非常熟悉的场景,例如在最近的一部《星球大战:原力觉醒》里女主角Rey发现自己拥有原力的一刻。

或者在《夺宝奇兵》里印第安纳琼斯选择战胜恐惧跳过蛇堆,继续任务的时候。

Now in a two-hour movie, you get a handful of character-defining moments, but in real life, you face them every day. Life is one strong, long string of character-defining moments. And I was lucky that at 18 I knew what I exactly wanted to do. But I didn't know who I was. How could I? And how could any of us? Because for the first 25 years of our lives, we are trained to listen to voices that are not our own. Parents and professors fill our heads with wisdom and information, and then employers and mentors take their place and explain how this world really works.

一部两小时的电影里有几个定义角色的时刻,但是在真实的生活中,你每天都在面对这样的时刻。生活就是一长串强大的定义角色的时刻。我非常幸运在18岁时就知道我想要做什么。但是我并不知道我是谁。我怎么可能知道呢?我们中任何人都不知道。因为在生命的头一个25年里,我们被训练去倾听除自己以外的人的声音。父母和教授们把智慧和信息塞进我们的脑袋,然后换上雇主和导师来向我们解释这个世界到底是怎么一回事。

And usually these voices of authority make sense,

but sometimes, doubt starts to creep into our heads and into our hearts. And even when we think, 'that's not quite how I see the world,' it's kind of easier to just to nod in agreement and go along, and for a while, I let that going along define my character. Because I was repressing my own point of view, because like in that Nilsson song, 'Everybody was talkin' at me, so I couldn't hear the echoes of my mind.'

通常这些权威人物的声音是有道理的,但是有些时候,质疑会爬进你的脑子和心里。就算我们觉得“这好像不太是我看世界的方式”,点头表示赞同也是更容易做的事情,有段时间我就让“附和”定义了我。因为我压抑了自己的想法,因为就像尼尔森歌里唱的一样:“每个人都在对我说话,所以我听不见我思考的回声。”

And at first, the internal voice I needed to listen to was hardly audible, and it was hardly noticeable - kind of like me in high school. But then I started paying more attention, and my intuition kicked in.

一开始,我需要倾听的内心的声音几乎一声不响,也难以察觉就像高中时的我。但是之后我开始更加注意这些声音,然后我的直觉开始工作。

And I want to be clear that your intuition is

different from your conscience. They work in tandem, but here's the distinction: Your conscience shouts, 'here's what you should do,' while your intuition whispers, 'here's what you could do.' Listen to that voice that tells you what you could do. Nothing will define your character more than that.

我想告诉你,你的直觉和你的良心是两个不同的事物。它们会协力工作,但这是它们的不同:你的良心会呼喊“你应当去做这个”,而你的直觉只会低语“你是可以这样做的”。倾听那个告诉你你能怎么去做的声音。没有什么比这更能定义你的角色的了。

Because once I turned to my intuition, and I tuned into it, certain projects began to pull me into them, and others, I turned away from.

因为我一旦会听从我的直觉,我就会全力投入到一些项目中去,而放弃其它。

And up until the 1980s, my movies were mostly, I guess what you could call 'escapist.' And I don't dismiss any of these movies - not even 1941. Not even that one. And many of these early films reflected the values that I cared deeply about, and I still do. But I was in a celluloid bubble, because I'd cut my

education short, my worldview was limited to what I could dream up in my head, not what the world could teach me.

直到19世纪80年代时,我电影中的大多数,我猜你们可以称之为“逃避现实”。我不会拒绝任何这些电影的邀约,不只是《1941》。不止那一部,很多早期电影反映了我当时内心的价值观,如今我仍然在这样做。但我当时处于自己的电影泡沫中,因为我的辍学,我受限的世界观部分来自于我的想象,而不是外界教会我的。

But then I directed The Color Purple. And this one film opened my eyes to experiences that I never could have imagined, and yet were all too real. This story was filled with deep pain and deeper truths, like when Shug Avery says, 'Everything wants to be loved.' My gut, which was my intuition, told me that more people needed to meet these characters and experience these truths. And while making that film, I realized that a movie could also be a mission.

当我执导《紫色》的时候,这部电影让我体验了我从未想象过,却如此真实的一些感受。这个故事充满了深深的痛苦和更深一部的真理,就像Shug Avery说“任何一个东西都想被爱着。”我的直觉告诉我,更多的人需要来认识这

样的角色,来体验这样的真理。在导演这部电影时,我突然

发现一部电影也可以是一个使命。

I hope all of you find that sense of mission. Don't turn away from what's painful. Examine it. Challenge it.

我希望你们所有人都能找到这样的使命感。不要避让

让你痛苦的事情。研究它、挑战它。

My job is to create a world that lasts two hours. Your job is to create a world that lasts forever. You are the future innovators, motivators, leaders and caretakers.

我的工作是要构筑一个维持两小时的世界。你的工作

是要建一个会一直持续的世界。你们是未来的创新者、激励者、领导者和守护者。

And the way you create a better future is by studying the past. Jurassic Park writer Michael Crichton, who graduated from both this college and this medical school, liked to quote a favorite professor of his who said that if you didn't know history, you didn't know anything. You were a leaf that didn't know it was part of a tree. So history majors: Good choice, you're

in great shape...Not in the job market, but culturally.

你们要研究过去,才能建设一个更好的未来。《侏罗纪公园》的编剧Michael Crichton是从这所大学的医学院毕业的。他喜欢引用他最喜欢的一位教授的话,他说如果你不懂得历史,那么你一无所知。你是一片树叶,不知道自己只是树的一部分。所以主修历史的同学们,很棒的选择,你的前景不错…不是说在招聘市场上啊,从文化上来说的话。

The rest of us have to make a little effort. Social media that we're inundated and swarmed with is about the here and now. But I've been fighting and fighting inside my own family to get all my kids to look behind them, to look at what already has happened. Because to understand who they are is to understand who we were, and who their grandparents were, and then, what this country was like when they emigrated here. We are a nation of immigrants - at least for now.

我们剩下的其它人就需要努点力了。淹没和吞噬我们的社交媒体只关乎当下。但是我自己和家人都不断尝试,让我所有的孩子们能透过这些,去看过去发生过的事情。因为要知道他们是谁,就要去理解他们曾经是谁,他们的祖父母是谁,以及当他们移民到这个国家来的时候,这个国家到底是什么样。我们是一个移民国家至少现在还是。

So, to me, this means we all have to tell our own

stories. We have so many stories to tell. Talk to your parents and your grandparents, if you can, and ask them about their stories. And I promise you, like I have promised my kids, you will not be bored.

所以对我来说,这意味着我们每个人都有自己的故事可讲,有很多故事可讲。如果可以的话,和你的父母、祖父母聊聊天,听听他们的故事。我保证,就像我向我的孩子保证的一样,一定收获颇丰,绝对不会无聊。

And that's why I so often make movies based on real-life events. I look to history not to be didactic, 'cause that's just a bonus, but I look because the past is filled with the greatest stories that have ever been told. Heroes and villains are not literary constructs, but they're at the heart of all history.

这就是为什么我经常就会导演由真实事件改编的电影。我回顾历史并不是为了说教,这是额外的奖励,我回顾历史因为过去充满了那些从来没被讲述出来的伟大故事。英雄和坏人不是文学塑造出来的,而是在一切历史的最中心。

And again, this is why it's so important to listen to your internal whisper. It's the same one that compelled Abraham Lincoln and Oskar Schindler to make the correct moral choices. In your defining moments,

do not let your morals be swayed by convenience or expediency. Sticking to your character requires a lot of courage. And to be courageous, you're going to need a lot of support.

所以,这就是为什么倾听你内心的低语非常重要。这与驱使亚伯拉罕林肯和奥斯卡辛德勒去做正确的道德选择的东西是一样的。在属于你的“定义角色的时刻”里,不要让你的道德被便利或者私利左右。忠于你的角色需要很多的勇气,变得勇敢,你又需要很多的支持。

And if you're lucky, you have parents like mine.

I consider my mom my lucky charm. And when I was 12 years old, my father handed me a movie camera, the tool that allowed me to make sense of this world. And I am so grateful to him for that. And I am grateful that he's here at Harvard, sitting right down there.

如果你足够幸运,你会有像我父母一样开明的父母。我把母亲看做我的幸运女神。12岁时,我父亲给了我一个电影摄像机,也是因为有了这个,我可以更好地去感知这个世界,我很感谢我的父亲。现在我很感激父亲也来到哈佛,坐在这里。

My dad is 99 years old, which means he's only one year younger than Widener Library. But unlike Widener,

he's had zero cosmetic work. And dad, there's a lady behind you, also 99, and I'll introduce you after this is over, okay?

我父亲今年99岁了,只比怀德纳图书馆(哈佛最大的图书馆今年100年)年轻1岁,但不像这个图书馆可以翻新,父亲已垂垂老矣。另外,父亲,在你身后有一位99岁的女士,这个之后我会介绍你给她,好吗?

But look, if your family's not always available, there's backup. Near the end of It's a Wonderful Life - you remember that movie, It's a Wonderful Life? Clarence the Angel inscribes a book with this: "No man is a failure who has friends." And I hope you hang on to the friendships you've made here at Harvard. And among your friends, I hope you find someone you want to share your life with. I imagine some of you in this yard may be a tad cynical, but I want to be unapologetically sentimental. I spoke about the importance of intuition and how there's no greater voice to follow. That is, until you meet the love of your life. And this is what happened when I met and married Kate, and that became the greatest character-defining moment of my life.

但是,如果你的家人并不总是支持你,还有B计划。在《生活多美好》剧终前,天使Clarence在一本书上题写了这句话:“有朋友的人,不会是生活的失败者。”我希望你们会珍惜在哈佛建立的这些友谊。而在你的朋友之中,我希望你们找个能分享你生活的另一半。我猜想你们中的一些人对此会会抱有怀疑,但是我表现出的感性毫无歉意。我说了直觉的重要性,以及除了直觉没有更值得追随的声音。这是指在你遇到你一生最爱之前。我与妻子相恋并结婚的经历就是如此,这成为了我生活中最重要的“定义角色的时刻”。

Love, support, courage, intuition. All of these things are in your hero's quiver, but still, a hero needs one more thing: A hero needs a villain to vanquish. And you're all in luck. This world is full of monsters. And there's racism, homophobia, ethnic hatred, class hatred, there's political hatred, and there's religious hatred.

爱、支持、勇气、直觉。所有的这些都在你英雄的箭袋之中,但是英雄还需要一件东西英雄需要一个去征服的坏人。而你们所有人都很走运,这个世界充满了怪物。有种族歧视、恐同、种族仇恨、阶级仇恨,还有政治仇恨和宗教仇恨。

As a kid, I was bullied - for being Jewish. This

was upsetting, but compared to what my parents and grandparents had faced, it felt tame. Because we truly believed that anti-Semitism was fading. And we were wrong. Over the last two years, nearly 20,000 Jews have left Europe to find higher ground. And earlier this year, I was at the Israeli embassy when President Obama stated the sad truth. He said: 'We must confront the reality that around the world, anti-Semitism is on the rise. We cannot deny it.'

还是孩子的时候,我因为是犹太人而被起伏。这让人丧气,但是与我父母和祖父母曾经面对的事情比起来,这很平淡。我们都真正相信反犹太运动正在衰退,但我们错了。在过去两年间,有大约两万犹太人离开欧洲寻找生存之地。今年早些时候,我在以色列大使馆听奥巴马总统陈述了一个悲惨的现实。他说:“反犹太运动的增势发生在全球各地,这是我们需要面对的事实。我们不能否认它。”

My own desire to confront that reality compelled me to start, in 1994, the Shoah Foundation. And since then, we've spoken to over 53,000 Holocaust survivors and witnesses in 63 countries and taken all their video testimonies. And we're now gathering testimonies from genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, Armenia and Nanking.

Because we must never forget that the inconceivable doesn't happen - it happens frequently. Atrocities are happening right now. And so we wonder not just, 'When will this hatred end?' but, 'How did it begin?' 我正视这一事实的强烈愿望驱使我从1994年成立了大屠杀真相基金会,从那以后我们采访了63个国家万名大屠杀的幸存者或目击者,录制了他们所有人的证词。现在我们还在收集卢旺达、柬埔寨、亚美尼亚以及南京大屠杀的证词。因为我们永远都不要忘记那些难以想象的罪恶会发生,并且时有发生。暴行也仍在发生。所以我们不能只去想“仇恨什么时候才会停止?”而是“它是怎么开始的?”。

Now, I don't have to tell a crowd of Red Sox fans that we are wired for tribalism. But beyond rooting for the home team, tribalism has a much darker side. Instinctively and maybe even genetically, we divide the world into 'us' and 'them.' So the burning question must be: How do all of us together find the 'we?' How do we do that? There's still so much work to be done, and sometimes I feel the work hasn't even begun. And it's not just anti-Semitism that's surging - Islamophobia's on the rise, too. Because there's no difference between anyone who is discriminated against, whether it's the

Muslims, or the Jews, or minorities on the border states, or the LGBT community - it is all big one hate.

我想我并不需要向一群红袜队的球迷解释我们为什么会拥抱部落文化。但是在为主队加油之外,部落文化有它更阴暗的一面。本能地或者由基因决定,我们把世界分成“我们”和“他们”。所以棘手的问题是,我们所有人能共同发现“我们”?我们应当如何去做?仍旧有许多的工作要做,有的时候我甚至觉得这一事业还没开始。这不仅仅是指反犹太运动抬头,伊斯兰恐惧症也在抬头。因为那些被歧视的人群之间是没有区别的,不管他们是穆斯林、犹太人、边境州里的弱势人群,或者是同性恋、双性恋及变性者社群他们遭受的都是同样的仇恨。

And to me, and, I think, to all of you, the only answer to more hate is more humanity. We gotta repair - we have to replace fear with curiosity. 'Us' and 'them' - we'll find the 'we' by connecting with each other. And by believing that we're members of the same tribe. And by feeling empathy for every soul - even Yalies.

对我来说,我想对你们也一样,只能用更多的人性来对抗更多的仇恨。我们需要修护,用好奇来替代恐惧。不排斥异己,我们通过建立人与人的联系来找到共同的“我们”。

我们要相信我们是同一个部落的成员。我们对所有的人都要

有同情心哪怕对“友校”耶鲁人也要如此。

My son graduated from Yale, thank you…

我的儿子就是从耶鲁毕业的,谢谢…

But make sure this empathy isn't just something that you feel. Make it something you act upon. That means vote. Peaceably protest. Speak up for those who can't and speak up for those who may be shouting but aren't being hard. Let your conscience shout as loud as it wants if you're using it in the service of others.

但是你要确认你的同理心不只是你的感受。让它是你

采取行动的诱因。这是指参加投票、和平地抗议、为那些不

能为自己发声或者已经声嘶力竭却无法让人注意的人发声。让你的良心大声疾呼吧,如果是为了服务于他们。

And as an example of action in service of others, you need to look no further than this Hollywood-worthy backdrop of Memorial Church. Its south wall bears the names of Harvard alumni - like President Faust has already mentioned - students and faculty members, who gave their lives in World War II. All told, 697 souls, who once tread the ground where stand now, were lost. And at a service in this church in late 1945, Harvard

President James Conant - which President Faust also mentioned - honored the brave and called upon the community to 'reflect the radiance of their deeds.' 作为为他人服务的行动榜样,你只需要看看这像好莱坞背景一般的纪念教堂。它的南墙上是哈佛校友们的名字,福斯特校长已经说过,他们是在第二次世界大战中献身的哈佛学生和教师们。697个人,他们曾经在你站着的地方逗留过,697条生命逝去。在1945年纪念教堂举行的追思会上,柯南特校长纪念这些勇敢的人们,并号召哈佛人身上要“反射出他们壮举的荣光”。

Seventy years later, this message still holds true. Because their sacrifice is not a debt that can be repaid in a single generation. It must be repaid with every generation. Just as we must never forget the atrocities, we must never forget those who fought for freedom. So as you leave this college and head out into the world, continue please to 'reflect the radiance of their deeds,' or as Captain Miller in Saving Private Ryan would say, "Earn this."

70年后,这句话仍然适用。因为他们所做出的牺牲不是一代人就能报答的。每一代人都应该报答他们。就像我们永远不该忘记那些恶行,我们永远也不应当忘记那些为自由

而战的人。所以当你离开这所学校进入世界,请继续“反射出他们壮举的荣光”,或者像《拯救大兵瑞恩》里米勒上尉说的“别辜负大家”。

And please stay connected. Please never lose eye contact. This may not be a lesson you want to hear from a person who creates media, but we are spending more time looking down at our devices than we are looking in each other's eyes. So, forgive me, but let's start right now. Everyone here, please find someone's eyes to look into. Students, and alumni and you too, President Faust, all of you, turn to someone you don't know or don't know very well. They may be standing behind you, or a couple of rows ahead. Just let your eyes meet. That's it. That emotion you're feeling is our shared humanity mixed in with a little social discomfort.

此外,请保持彼此的联系,别避而不见。这可能不是你想从一个创作媒体的人这里听的一课,但是我们花越来越多的时间低头看手机,而不是注视别人的眼睛。所以请原谅我,现在所有人,请找一双眼睛深刻凝视。学生们、校友们都是,福斯特校长、你们所有人,转向一位你不认识或者不熟悉的人,对视,仅此而已。你所感受到的使我们共同拥有

的人性,混进去了一丝社交不适感。

But, if you remember nothing else from today, I hope you remember this moment of human connection. And I hope you all had a lot of that over the past four years. Because today you start down the path of becoming the generation on which the next generation stands. And I've imagined many possible futures in my films, but you will determine the actual future. And I hope that it's filled with justice and peace.

如果你今天别的什么都没记住,我希望你能记住这一刻人与人之间的联系。我希望过去四年中,你们经历了很多的这样的时刻。因为从今天开始,你们会像前辈一样,托举起下一辈人。我在我的电影里幻想过很多种不同的未来,但是你们会决定未来的实际样子。我希望,这样的未来充满公正与和平。

And finally, I wish you all a true, Hollywood-style happy ending. I hope you outrun the T. rex, catch the criminal and for your parents' sake, maybe every now and then, just like : Go home. Thank you.

Ted中英对照演讲稿 大人能从小孩身上学到什么 Now, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens, we are called childish, which really bothers me. After all, take a look at these events: Imperialism and colonization, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourself: Who's responsible? Adults. 首先我要问大家一个问题:上一回别人说你幼稚是什么时候?像我这样的小孩,可能经常会被 人说成是幼稚。每一次我们提出不合理的要求,做出不负责任的行为,或者展现出有别于普通美 国公民的惯常行为之时,我们就被说成是幼稚。这让我很不服气。首先,让我们来回顾下这些事件:帝国主义和殖民主义,世界大战,小布什。请你们扪心自问下:这些该归咎于谁?是大人。 Now, what have kids done? Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust, Ruby Bridges helped end segregation in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. The traits the word childish addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking. 而小孩呢,做了些什么?安妮·弗兰克(Anne Frank)对大屠杀强有力的叙述打动了数百万人的心。鲁比·布里奇斯为美国种族隔离的终结作出了贡献。另外,最近还有一个例子,查理·辛普 森(Charlie Simpson)骑自行车为海地募得 12万英镑。所以,这些例子证明了年龄与行为完 全没有关系。 "幼稚"这个词所对应的特点是常常可以从大人身上看到,由此我们在批评不负责 和非理性的相关行为时,应停止使用这个年龄歧视的词。 (Applause) Thank you. Then again, who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren't exactly what the world needs? Maybe you've had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking: That's impossible or that costs too much or that won't

英语演讲稿朱棣文在哈佛大学的演讲稿 Madam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers,faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today's graduates, 尊敬的Faust校长,哈佛集团的各位成员,监管理事会 的各位理事,各位老师,各位家长,各位朋友,以及最重要的各 位毕业生同学, Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you. 感谢你们,让我有机会同你们一起分享这个美妙的日子。 I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Lastyear, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced thispodium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerdstood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not wealthy, but at least I am a nerd. 我不太肯定,自己够得上哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲人这样 的殊荣。去年登上这个讲台的是,英国亿万身家的小说家J.K. Rowling女士,她最早是一个古典文学的学生。前年站在这里的是比尔?盖茨先生,他是一个超级富翁、一个慈善家和电脑高手。

哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲稿——人生唯一目标是做自己奥普拉·温弗瑞:美国著名脱口秀主持人、媒体企业家。 奥普拉在哈佛大学2013届毕业典礼的演讲——人生唯一目标是做自己 我要分享的想法是:无论你有多么成功,也许你们会不断追求更高的目标,这就难免会遇到失意之时。我希望届时各位可以记住:世上并不存在失败,那不过是生活试图将我们推向另一个方向罢了。 当你身处困境时,看起来是一种失败。在过去的一年中,我时刻提醒自己牢记这一点。当深陷困境时,感到难过是正常的,给自己一点时间去思考即将失去的一切。关键在于:要从错误中汲取教训,因为所有经验,尤其是你犯下的错误,都将帮助你、推动你更好地做自己,确定下一步何去何从。生活的关键在于建立起一个内在的道德情感导航仪,为你指明方向。因为从今以后,当你用谷歌搜索自己的时候,搜索结果中会提到:“哈佛大学2013毕业生”。在这个充满竞争的世界,这的确是一张抢眼的名片。 我曾招聘过很多人,而每当我看到哈佛大学这个字眼时,我总是会坐直一些说:“他 们在哪?把他们统统带过来。”正是这张抢眼的名片可以成就你们的未来之路。你们可能成 为律师、议员、首席执行官、科学家、物理学家、诺贝尔奖及普利策奖得主,甚至深夜脱口秀节目主持人。但生活的挑战在于创建一份不仅陈述所期望的职位的履历,而且上面要明确成就怎样的自我。这份履历不仅需要表达你想成就一番怎样的事业,也要明确动机,除了头衔与职位,也要有达成目标的缘由。你的使命是什么?你的信仰是什么?你的目标是 什么?只有这样,当你不慎跌倒发现自深陷困境之时,才能帮助你重振旗鼓。 我是在1994年才认识到这一点的。那年我采访了一位凭一己之力积攒了1000美元 零花钱的小女孩,她将这钱捐出来帮助有需要的人。这个九岁大的小女孩促使我思考,仅凭一个存钱罐与雄心壮志就能做到这样,那我可以做些什么呢?于是我号召我的观众们捐 出他们的零钱,在一个月内,仅仅是一枚枚零钱硬币就募到了300万美金。我们用这笔 钱资助每个州的一位学子进入大学的殿堂。我所做的仅仅是号召我的观众,“尽己所能, 无论地域与地位,如果可能,请贡献出你们的时间、智慧与财力。无论你在哪里,请为他人送去自己的仁爱之心。”观众也用行动表明了一切。我们在12个不同的城镇建起了55 所学校,修缮了300栋被“丽塔”飓风和“卡特里娜”飓风摧毁的民宅。 创办“天使网络”的想法在我心中萦绕已久,也正是“天使网络”让我确定了心中的那个 导航仪。我决定不再单一地制作电视节目,还要关注节目的终极理念、采访对象、行业发展和慈善事业等等。无论我们追求什么,将我们团结在一起的信念胜过其他一切。作为一个19岁就出现在电视节目中的孩子,起初我并不明白这个道理,直到1994年才有所醒

杨澜TED演讲:重塑中国的年轻一代(中英文对照) The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China’s Got Talent” show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle. And I told her, “I’m going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese] So it’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff. It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a li ne from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle — a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn’t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in C hinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious. 来苏格兰(做TED讲演)的前夜,我被邀请去上海做”中国达人秀“决赛的评委。在装有八万现场观众的演播厅里,在台上的表演嘉宾居然是(来自苏格兰的,因参加英国达人秀走红的)苏珊大妈(Susan Boyle)。我告诉她,“我明天就要启程去苏格兰。” 她唱得很动听,还对观众说了几句中文,她并没有说简单的”你好“或者”谢谢“,她说的是——“送你葱”(Song Ni Cong)。为什么?这句话其实来源于中国版的“苏珊大妈”——一位五十岁的以卖菜为生,却对西方歌剧有出奇爱好的上海中年妇女(蔡洪平)。这位中国的苏珊大妈并不懂英文,法语或意大利文,所以她将歌剧中的词汇都换做中文中的蔬菜名,并且演唱出来。在她口中,歌剧《图兰朵》的最后一句便是“Song Ni Cong”。当真正的英国苏珊大妈唱出这一句“中文的”《图兰朵》时,全场的八万观众也一起高声歌唱,场面的确有些滑稽(hilarious)。 So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference. 我想Susan Boyle和这位上海的买菜农妇的确属于人群中的少数。她们是最不可能在演艺界成功的,而她们的勇气和才华让她们成功了,这个节目和舞台给予了她们一个实现个人梦想的机会。这样看来,与众不同好像没有那么难。从不同的方面审视,我们每个人都是不同的。但是我想,与众不同是一件好事,因为你代表了不一样的观点,你拥有了做改变的机会。 My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great

The Spider’s Bite When I was in middle school, a poisonous spider bit my right hand. I ran to my mom for help—but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on fire.After wrapping my hand with several layers of cotton, then soaking it in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth,and ignited the cotton. 在我上中学的时候,一只有毒蜘蛛咬伤了我的右手,我去找母亲帮忙,但是她没有找医生,却把我的手放在火上面。她用酒浸过的棉纱绕着我的手缠了好几层之后,在我的嘴里放了一根筷子,然后点燃了棉纱。 【语言点解析】 Poisonous表示有毒的;恶毒的;讨厌的。例句:A lot of poisonous waste water comes from that chemical factory. 那个化工厂排出大量有毒的废水。 Heat quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my hand. The searing pain made me want to scream, but the chopstick prevented it. All I could do was watch my hand burn - one minute, then two minutes –until mom put out the fire. 棉纱上的温度很快上来了,我的手也开始发烫。这股灼痛让我想要大叫,不过我嘴里含着的筷子让我叫不出来。我唯一能做的就是看着我的手骨,一分钟过去了,两分钟过去了,直到母亲熄灭火。 You see, the part of China I grew up in was a rural village, and at that time pre-industrial. When I was born, my village had no cars, no telephones, no electricity, not even running water. And we certainly didn’t have access to modern medical resources. 所以你看到,我是在中国的一个小山村里成长的,在那个时候,并不发达。在我出生的那个年代,我们村没车、没电话、也没电,甚至都没有自来水!且理所当然地,我没有接触现代医疗资源的办法。 There was no doctor my mother could bring me to see about my spider bite.For those who study biology, you may have grasped the science behind my mom’s cure: heat deactivates proteins, and a spider’s venom is simply a form of protein. It’s cool how that folk remedy actually incorporates basic biochemistry, isn’t it? 当我被蜘蛛咬伤时,并没有医生可以来治疗我。对于学生物学的人来说,你也许能找到我母亲治愈背后所包含的科学原理:热量能够让蛋白质失活,而蜘蛛的毒液都是蛋白质组成的。将这个土方子和生物化学基础联系起来很神奇,不是吗? 【语言点解析】 Folk remedy表示偏方。例句:The active component, willow bark, was used as a folk remedy as long ago as the 5th century BC. 它来自早在公元前五世纪就被用于民间配方的柳树皮,是这种树皮的一种有效成分。 But I am a PhD student in biochemistry at Harvard, I now know that better, less painful and less risky treatments existed. So I can’t help but ask myself, why I didn’t receive one at the time? 不过我现在是一个在哈佛学习生物化学的博士生,我现在知道了一个更好的、不那么痛、危险系数更小的治疗方法。所以,我忍不住问我自己,为什么那个时候我不能接受更好的治疗吗?

TED英语演讲稿 When you are a kid, you get asked this one particular question a lot, it really gets kind of annoying. What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, adults are hoping for answers like, I want to be an astronaut or I want to be a neurosurgeon, youre adults in your imaginations. Kids, theyre most likely to answer with pro-skateboarder, surfer or minecraft player. I asked my little brother, and he said, seriously dude, Im 10, I have no idea, probably a pro-skier, lets go get some ice cream. See, us kids are going to answer something were stoked on, what we think is cool, what we have experience with, and thats typically the opposite of what adults want to hear. But if you ask a little kid, sometimes youll get the best answer, something so simple, so obvious and really profound. When I grow up, I want to be happy. For me, when I grow up, I want to continue to be happy like I am now. Im stoked to be here at TedEx, I mean, Ive been watching Ted videos for as long as I can remember, but I never thought Id make it on the stage here so soon. I mean, I just became a teenager, and like most teenage boys, I spend most of my time wondering,

Thank you, thank you, President Faust, and Paul Choi, thank you so much. It`s an honor and a thrill to address this group of distinguished alumni and supportive friends and cavelling parents. We`ve all gathered to share in the joy of this day, so please join me in congratulating Harvard`s Class of 2016. I can remember my own college graduation, which is easy, since it was only 14 years ago. How many of you took 37 years to graduate? Because, like most of you, I began college in my teens, but sophomore year, I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios, so I dropped out. I told my parents if my movie career didn`t go well, I`d re-enroll.It went all right.But eventually, I returned for one big reason. Most people go to college for an education, and some go for their parents, but I went for my kids. I`m the father of seven, and I kept insisting on the importance of going to college, but I hadn`t walked the walk. So, in my fifties, I re-enrolled at Cal State -- Long Beach, and I earned my degree.I just have to add: It helped that they gave me course credit in paleontology for the work I did on Jurassic Park. That`s three units for Jurassic Park, thank you. Well I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and some of you know, too -- but some of you don`t. Or maybe

Faust毕业典礼致辞哈佛大学校长Drew 哈佛大学Drew Faust:最好的教育即培养精神习惯Faust于Memorial Church向身着方帽长袍的毕业生发表了一年一度的毕业班告别讲话。一年一度的毕业仪式在毕业典礼之前举行,包括祈祷、唱诗及校长为毕业班进行的告别演讲。 “牢记正是通艺教育为各位应对变革做好了准备,”Faust说。“更新我们的承诺并重新规划人生的机会是一项仅供少数几代人拥有的特权。而现时它不是一种可能,而是一种必要。” 这一几乎与哈佛大学同样古老的仪式可以追溯到1642年。当年的举行的第一次仪式使哈佛的工作人员及神职人员有机会在更安格按照流程进行的毕业典礼之前向毕业生发表讲话。 这一仪式由基督教道德Plummer 讲席教授及Memorial Church蒲塞牧师Rev. Peter J. Gomes主持,主要以儒学、伊斯兰教、印度教、犹太教及基督教读物为特色。 Faust的讲话是仪式的中心亮点。 她称哈佛大学强调通艺教育正是为了这样的危机时刻设计的。 第一,不管今后学习、生活在何方,都要志存高远,做个对社会负责、对家庭负责、对自己负责的人。我们所有的

学生都要懂得,只要你们不懈地努力,美好的明天属于你们每一位同学。 “我们一直坚持最好的教育即培养精神习惯,一种分析的精神、一种评判及探究的能力,这能使你们胜任于任何环境或者选择任何职业方向,”Faust说。“这一理念怎能比现在这一时刻更为适合?” Faust号召毕业生勇往直前应对挑战,指出尽管我们不喜欢不确定性,但是不确定的时代为个人成长及职业生涯成长都提供了机会。她引用了作家Joan Didion的话将应对生活形容为“严苛与安逸、束缚与自由、理智及直觉充满魔力的交汇处。”她也引用爵士音乐大师Charlie Parker的话,“掌控你的乐器、掌控音乐,之后忘情演奏。” Faust指出,不确定性和应对对于要求准确性的领域如物理学和药学也是十分重要的。而在人文领域,应对是基于结构和研究的自然产生的表达。 Faust以回忆她的在1968年的毕业典礼作为演讲的结束。20世纪60年代末和70年代初的学生毕业于社会巨大变革成为可能性的时代。她指出,曾经失去许诺现今已经回归,并号召毕业生抓住属于他们的机遇。 “继续掌控你的乐器。继续掌控你的音乐。”Faust说。“不时回到学校让我们知道你进展如何。我相信在完成这项任务上没有任何一群人能比你们更值得我信任。”

When I was in my 20s, I saw my very first psychotherapy client. I was a Ph.D. student in clinical psychology at Berkeley. She was a 26-year-old woman named Alex. 记得见我第一位心理咨询顾客时,我才20多岁。当时我是Berkeley临床心理学在读博士生。我的第一位顾客是名叫Alex的女性,26岁。 Now Alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top, and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems. Now when I heard this, I was so relieved. My classmate got an arsonist for her first client. (Laughter) And I got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys. This I thought I could handle. 第一次见面Alex穿着牛仔裤和宽松上衣走进来,她一下子栽进我办公室的沙 发上,踢掉脚上的平底鞋,跟我说她想谈谈男生的问题。当时我听到这个之后松了一口气。因为我同学的第一个顾客是纵火犯,而我的顾客却是一个20出头想谈谈男生的女孩。我觉得我可以搞定。But I didn't handle it. With the funny stories that Alex would bring to session, it was easy for me just to nod my head while we kicked the can down the road. 但是我没有搞定。Alex不断地讲有趣的事情,而我只能简单地点头认同她所 说的,很自然地就陷入了附和的状态。 "Thirty's the new 20," Alex would say, and as far as I could tell, she was right. Work happened later, marriage happened later, kids happened later, even death happened later. Twentysomethings like

Professor Lawrence H. Summers President of Harvard University Address to Peking University on May 14, 2002 [Vice] President Min, President Xu, thank you for all of those kind words, thank you for the hospitality that you have shown me, thank you for the hospitality that you have shown the visiting delegation from Harvard University. I believe we have gathered, these few days in Beijing, the largest delegation of faculty from Harvard University that has ever come to China. That is, I believe, a reflection of the importance of China to the world of the Twenty-First Century. It is a reflection of our common endeavor: the pursuit of knowledge, and the teaching of students. I am very excited to be here at one of China's great universities, [at] one of the world's great universities, and I am especially glad to have the chance to talk to so many of your students about the world that they are going to inherit. You know, if you think about what we do in universities, if you think about the phenomenon of globalization, I believe that our special role today and the phenomenon of globalization are manifestations of a yet deeper transformation that is going on throughout the world. And that is this: knowledge is becoming more central to every aspect of human activity than it ever has before. Think about some examples. I am

比尔.盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的励志演讲稿 比尔.盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的励志演讲稿 尊敬的bok校长,rudenstine前校长,即将上任的faust校长,哈佛集团的各位成员,监管理事会的各位理事,各位老师,各位家长,各位同学: 有一句话我等了三十年,现在终于可以说了:“老爸,我总是跟你说,我会回来拿到我的学位的!” 我要感谢哈佛大学在这个时候给我这个荣誉。明年,我就要换工作了(注:指从微软公司退休)......我终于可以在简历上写我有一个大学学位,这真是不错啊。 我为今天在座的各位同学感到高兴,你们拿到学位可比我简单多了。哈佛的校报称我是“哈佛大学历史上最成功的辍学生”。我想这大概使我有资格代表我这一类学生发言......在所有的失败者里,我做得最好。 但是,我还要提醒大家,我使得steve ballmer(注:微软总经理)也从哈佛商学院退学了。因此,我是个有着恶劣影响力的人。这就是为什么我被邀请来在你们的毕业典礼上演讲。如果我在你们入学欢迎仪式上演讲,那么能够坚持到今天在这里毕业的人也许会少得多吧。 对我来说,哈佛的求学经历是一段非凡的经历。校园生活很有趣,我常去旁听我没选修的课。哈佛的课外生活也很棒,我在

radcliffe过着逍遥自在的日子。每天我的寝室里总有很多人一直待到半夜,讨论着各种事情。因为每个人都知道我从不考虑第二天早起。这使得我变成了校园里那些不安分学生的头头,我们互相粘在一起,做出一种拒绝所有正常学生的姿态。 radcliffe是个过日子的好地方。那里的女生比男生多,而且大多数男生都是理工科的。这种状况为我创造了最好的机会,如果你们明白我的意思。可惜的是,我正是在这里学到了人生中悲伤的一课:机会大,并不等于你就会成功。 我在哈佛最难忘的回忆之一,发生在1975年1月。那时,我从宿舍楼里给位于albuquerque的一家公司打了一个电话,那家公司已经在着手制造世界上第一台个人电脑。我提出想向他们出售软件。 我很担心,他们会发觉我是一个住在宿舍的学生,从而挂断电话。但是他们却说:“我们还没准备好,一个月后你再来找我们吧。”这是个好消息,因为那时软件还根本没有写出来呢。就是从那个时候起,我日以继夜地在这个小小的课外项目上工作,这导致了我学生生活的结束,以及通往微软公司的不平凡的旅程的开始。 不管怎样,我对哈佛的回忆主要都与充沛的精力和智力活动有关。哈佛的生活令人愉快,也令人感到有压力,有时甚至会感到泄气,但永远充满了挑战性。生活在哈佛是一种吸引人的特殊

I'm here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and having it be specific and genuine. 嗨。我在这里要和大家谈谈向别人表达赞美,倾佩和谢意的重要性。并使它们听来真诚,具体。 And the way I got interested in this was, I noticed in myself, when I was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that I would want to say thank you to someone, I would want to praise them, I would want to take in their praise of me and I'd just stop it. And I asked myself, why? I felt shy, I felt embarrassed. And then my question became, am I the only one who does this? So, I decided to investigate. 之所以我对此感兴趣是因为我从我自己的成长中注意到几年前,当我想要对某个人说声谢谢时,当我想要赞美他们时,当我想接受他们对我的赞扬,但我却没有说出口。我问我自己,这是为什么? 我感到害羞,我感到尴尬。接着我产生了一个问题难道我是唯一一个这么做的人吗?
