你的瑕疵,成就独特的你
sometimes your insecurities and you"re ine_perienced may lead you to embrace other people"s e_pectations, standards or values.
有时因为你缺乏安全感,缺乏经验,你会很容易接受别人的期望,标准或价值观。
but you can harness that ine_perience to carve out your own path, one that is free the burden of knowing how things are supposed to be, a path that is defined by its own particular set of reasons.
但是,你可以利用你在经验上的缺乏,造就你自己的路,不用去担心事情应该怎么做,只需依据自己的思考来定义这条路。
i learned early that my meaning had to be from the e_perience of making the film and the possibility of connecting with individuals rather than the foremost trophies in my industry: financial and critical success.
我很早就学到,我的价值应该来自于电影拍摄过程的体验,来自触碰人心的可能,而不是我们行业最首要的荣誉:商业和影评方面的成功。
your path, even if it"s a strange and clumsy path, will be wholly yours.
你的路,即使是陌生而坎坷的路,也将会完全属于你自己。

各位亲爱的校领导,天使般慈祥的老师,含苞待放的学子们:
大家上午好。
今天我以一个初三毕业生和学生会副主席的身份,做在兆麟初级中学最后的演讲。三年了,初中的生活结束了,三年的生活如刀如风如剑,来也匆匆,去也匆匆,时光悠悠,岁月悠悠。三年的生活中,你可能痛悲自己,痛心自己,痛恨自己,也可能怨老师,爱老师,狠老师,这些生活的点滴,将挥之而去,成为我们的记忆。我们看到凯哥正襟危坐,忙碌中透着爱护,葛老西服革履,冷漠中透着关怀。盛夏的清风像一坛老酒把麟园的树,麟园的人灌得有些微醉,今天我们将迈着小醉步,拿着信念这张旧船票,登上中考的客船。
我们拥有的是青春,我们应敢于去奋斗,青春是梦的起点,在走过之后,你会发现我的未来不是梦;青春是人的本钱,走过之后,你会发现成熟的你将会不差钱;青春是生命的站台,走过之后,追梦的心将驶向下一站。人生也不就是个,山外青山楼外楼,生活富裕且自由。曾经我们追逐疯闹,群架斗殴,如今当知敢于面对,曾经不解世事,吃喝享乐,如今应针毡为椅,乱石铺路,安然不动。挥笔题字已不再狂草傲视,大笔一挥,而是小楷一抹,精雕细琢,真正体味颜筋柳骨,毕竟我们长大了!
当我们多年之后再相见,回眸一笑,云龙兄别来无恙;朝花夕拾,云飞兄再续前缘。希望我们每个人都拥有快乐的生活,温情的笑,苦涩的笑,仰天长笑,我自横刀上天笑。我们的心在跳,血再烧,来吧,让我们追逐怒放的生命,最后祝麟园的明天更加灿烂辉煌。

怎么写中学毕业英语演讲稿范文
i am chinese
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
i am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. ive learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. ive learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. ive learned about zhang heng(张衡)and ive learned about zheng he(郑和).who says the yellow river civilization has vanished(消失)?i know that my ancestors have made miracles(奇迹)on this fertile land and were still making miracles. who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world? we have e_perienced the plunders (掠夺) by other nations, and we have e_perienced the war. yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----china, unyielding and unconquerable! i once came across an american tourist. she said, "china has a history of five thousand years, but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago, china took the lead in the world, and now it is the us that is leading."my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that were still a developing nation, but it doesnt mean that we can despise (鄙视) ourselves. we have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of. we have reasons to say proudly: we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition (雄心) is even bigger, our challenges (挑战) are great, but our will is even greater.
i am chinese. i have inherited (继承) black hair and black eyes. i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. i have also taken over responsibility. i am sure, that wherever i go, whatever i do, i shall never forget that i am chinese!

译文
首先,我们要培养学生学习英语的兴趣。让学生在学习中去寻找欢乐,在欢乐中找到兴趣,在兴趣中下决心,在决心中培养毅力,即动因+兴趣+决心+持之以恒=成绩。当然开始学英语时不要追求太高,太难。指导学生从简单的,有趣的,好笑的开始使学生找出适合自己的学习兴趣。同时引导他们"from easy to difficult."。并允许学生出错,不要追求每个单词都正确。,
其次,学生有了兴趣,帮助他们制定计划。每天看英语材料和听英语广播,寻找学习环境,生活范围有多大,学英语的天地就有多宽广,利用一切机会去接触英语。在课堂上让学生试着讲英语,平时同学之间交流时多用英语,鼓励学生不要怕出错,错了没关系。同时要建立每周学习生词的目标,在记录词汇本里,记录各种各样的生词,短语。因为学好英语必须要有词汇作基础,要打持久战;记单词要打游击战。就能做到"from little to more"。
学英语如同交朋友,在不同的场合接触就可能记牢,不能孤立的记单词,要记住它的左邻右舍。同时很有必要指导学生大量的阅读,这对学习英语有是非常重要的,多了解西方文化,学习西方习惯,掌握大量的语言背景是学习的又一条重要途径。那么就达到from chinese to english。我们最终要达到目的 "from english to english ,from english to chinese "
最后,让学生在苦中享受欢乐,越学越有趣,从被动变主动,从要我学变为我要学.

dear teachers, dear classmates:
good morning, everybody!
teachers and classmates, we are leaving our alma mater, ending our primary school life and going to junior high school. we have not yet parted, we have to rely on it! my heart is trembling slightly, for the moment that is remembered for life is coming. the unforgettable moment, i once hoped, now is not willing to give up. e_citement, bewilderment, laughter, frustration, tone sandals, cheerful steps, and moving songs are all integrated into our hearts.
do you really want to leave? the beautiful campus is so long and so clear, a picture of a teacher dedicated to us, the scene of the flow of students, these let us from yesterday"s naive to the long road to today"s sensible, how can i forget? memories of the past, in the wide playground, in the warm classroom, i always look at the blue sky, white clouds, the beautiful campus in the sunshine, the pattern is so beautiful; the wind in the campus, how many times the soft lift our hair, the campus joyous laughter let our heart forever abundance. my beautiful campus, it is like this, such as a roll of good painting, the moon is empty, moonlight star, light, just like the silver lining, showing the dreamy and tempting color...
after si_ years of running water, the life of primary school is about to end, and we are about to lift the sails of middle school, soar in the deeper knowledge of the middle school, and e_plore in a more mysterious realm of life. looking back at the long learning path, there are ups and downs, sweet, hope, loss, success, failure, joy and anger. but in the end, we have all gone through this period of learning. the rosy rose, falling from my head, is spinning in the air, and the shadow of the sun is gently passing through my eyes. farewell, beautiful campus, farewell, beloved teacher; farewell, lovely classmates. bit by bit, one minute and a second. ah, there is a feeling of gratitude for my teacher in my heart. at that time, my red scarf, beating like a flame in my chest, read the book. the teacher came up and helped me on the shoulder. i spoke earnestly, pointing to the red flag flying and hunting, and earnestly told me. endless words of endless love, stirring up the tide of emotion in my heart.
do you really want to leave? the beautiful campus has given us endless joy, hope, song and fragrance. to become a middle school student, we must work hard for it.
it is only in order to get to the finish line that it is on the road; only to achieve the best success can we go on the most difficult and difficult road.

itake with me the memory of friday afternoon acm happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. over the several years that i attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.
i take with me memories of purple parking permits, the west campus shuttle, checking my pendafle_, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in lopata hall, the greenway talk, division iii basketball, and trying to convince dean russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.
finally, i would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. what would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of lake forest college by theodore seuss geisel, better known to the world as dr. seuss - here"s how it goes:
my uncle ordered popovers from the restaurant"s bill of fare. and when they were served, he regarded them with a penetrating stare . . . then he spoke great words of wisdom as he sat there on that chair: "to eat these things," said my uncle, "you must e_cercise great care. you may swallow down what"s solid . . . but . . . you must spit out the air!"
and . . . as you partake of the world"s bill of fare, that"s darned good advice to follow. do a lot of spitting out the hot air. and be careful what you swallow.

my dear mr. and misses, my fellows schoolmates,
good morning! as you know and see, it is a sunny bump harvest season. in the city, in our school campus, everywhere is surrounded with roses which we together planted 4 years ago. today may these roses and our friendship as well be together and comfort our e_cited hearts!
it was four years ago that everyone of us came from every part of china and formed a new collective. as we are young, it’s very easy for us to communicate. it was in the past four years that we were ambitious. it was in the past four years that we worried. it was in the past four years that we were content. it was in the past four years that we were ve_ed. it was in the past four years that we were friendly and lonely ... and it was in the past fours that we studied, lived and respected each other with genuine and with our ambitions. nothing in the world is more significant than we miss all of these.
we miss you─teachers who are tireless in teaching; we will keep your gestures and your white hairs in our hearts deeply; we will miss the quietness with the lights at night in the classroom; we will miss the race and e_ercise on the playground; we will miss even the crowds in the dining hall and the quarrel on the beds; we will still miss every green piece and every piece of waste paper flying like flakes in the air ... however, today we will leave nothing but the first rose with our alma mater and our teachers which is entrusted with our love and respect.
4 years seems very long but 4 years seems very short. from now on, we all will go into the society. the society is broad and wide for us. we will shoulder heavy responsibilities; we will work diligently; and we will e_pect to be informed of good news from one another. now, i beg you all to cherish the occasion; to remember the names, the status, appearance and the character of the person around you. now let’s be hand in hand together; let’s present the rose to each other. may the rose carry our appreciation and blessing! we are very closely linked no matter what the world may be. may the fresh rose in our hands keep its fragrants!
thank you all again!

thank you very much president knapp for that kind intro. ale_, trustees, faculty and deans of the university, my fellow honorees, and especially you the class of 2024. yes.
congratulations to you, to your family, to your friends that are attending today"s ceremony. you made it. it"s a privilege, a rare privilege of a lifetime to be with you today. and i think thank you enough for making me an honorary colonial.
before i begin today, they asked me to make a standard announcement. you’ve heard this before. about silencing your phones. those of you with an iphone, just place it in silent mode. if you don"t have an iphone, please pass it to the center aisle. apple has a world‑class recycling program.
you know, this is really an amazing place. and for a lot of you, i’m sure that being here in washington, the very center of our democracy, was a big draw when you were choosing which school to go to. this place has a powerful pull. it was here that dr. martin luther king challenged americans to make real the promises of democracy, to make justice a reality for all of god"s children.
and it was here that president ronald reagan called on us to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds. i"d like to start this morning by telling you about my first visit here. in the summer of 1977 ‑‑ yes, i’m a little old ‑‑ i was 16 years old and living in robertsdale, the small town in southern alabama that i grew up in. at the end of my junior year of high school i’d won an essay contest sponsored by the national rural electric association. i can"t remember what the essay was about, what i do remember very clearly is writing it by hand, draft after draft after draft. typewriters were very e_pensive and my family could not afford one.
i was one of two kids from baldwin county that was chosen to go to washington along with hundreds of other kids across the country. before we left, the alabama delegation took a trip to our state capitol in montgomery for a meeting with the governor. the governor"s name was george c. wallace. the same george wallace who in 1963 stood in the schoolhouse door at the university of alabama to block african americans from enrolling. wallace embraced the evils of segregation. he pitted whites against blacks, the south against the north, the working class against the so‑called elites. meeting my governor was not an honor for me.
my heroes in life were dr. martin luther king, and robert f. kennedy, who had fought against the very things that wallace stood for. keep in mind, that i grew up, or, when i grew up, i grew up in a place where king and kennedy were not e_actly held in high esteem. when i was a kid, the south was still coming to grips with its history. my te_tbooks even said the civil war was about states’ rights. they barely mentioned slavery.
so i had to figure out for myself what was right and true. it was a search. it was a process. it drew on the moral sense that i’d learned from my parents, and in church, and in my own heart, and led me on my own journey of discovery. i found books in the public library that they probably didn"t know they had. they all pointed to the fact that wallace was wrong. that injustices like segregation had no place in our world. that equality is a right.
as i said, i was only 16 when i met governor wallace, so i shook his hand as we were e_pected to do. but shaking his hand felt like a betrayal of my own beliefs. it felt wrong. like i was selling a piece of my soul.
from montgomery we flew to washington. it was the first time i had ever been on an airplane. in fact it was the first time that i traveled out of the south. on june 15, 1977, i was one of 900 high schoolers greeted by the new president, president jimmy carter, on the south lawn of the white house, right there on the other side of the ellipse. i was one of the lucky ones, who got to shake his hand. carter saw baldwin county on my name tag that day and stopped to speak with me. he wanted to know how people were doing after the rash of storms that struck alabama that year. carter was kind and compassionate; he held the most powerful job in the world but he had not sacrificed any of his humanity. i felt proud that he was president. and i felt proud that he was from the south. in the space of a week, i had come face to face with two men who guaranteed themselves a place in history. they came from the same region. they were from the same political party. they were both governors of adjoining states. but they looked at the world in very different ways. it was clear to me, that one was right, and one was wrong. wallace had built his political career by e_ploiting divisions between us. carter"s message on the other hand, was that we are all bound together, every one of us. each had made a journey that led them to the values that they lived by, but it wasn"t just about their e_periences or their circumstances, it had to come from within.
my own journey in life was just beginning. i hadn"t even applied for college yet at that point. for you graduates, the process of discovering yourself, of inventing yourself, of reinventing yourself is about to begin in earnest. it"s about finding your values and committing to live by them. you have to find your north star. and that means choices. some are easy. some are hard. and some will make you question everything. twenty years after my visit to washington, i met someone who made me question everything. who upended all of my assumptions in the very best way. that was steve jobs.
steve had built a successful company. he had been sent away and he returned to find it in ruins. he didn"t know it at the time, but he was about to dedicate the rest of his life to rescuing it, and leading it to heights greater than anyone could ever imagine. anyone, that is, e_cept for steve. most people have forgotten, but in 1997 and early 1998, apple had been adrift for years. rudderless. but steve thought apple could be great again. and he wanted to know if i’d like to help.
his vision for apple was a company that turned powerful technology into tools that were easy to use, tools that would help people realize their dreams. and change the world for the better. i had studied to be an engineer and earned an m.b.a. i was trained to be pragmatic, a problem solver. now i found myself sitting before and listening to this very animated 40‑something guy with visions of changing the world. it was not what i had e_pected. you see, when it came to my career, in 1998, i was also adrift. rudderless.
i knew who i was in my personal life, and i kept my eye on my north star, my responsibility to do good for someone else, other than myself. but at work, well i always figured that work was work. values had their place and, yes, there were things that i wanted to change about the world, but i thought i had to do that on my own time. not in the office. steve didn"t see it that way. he was an idealist. and in that way he reminded me of how i felt as a teenager. in that first meeting he convinced me if we worked hard and made great products, we too could help change the world. and to my surprise, i was hooked. i took the job and changed my life. it"s been 17 years and i have never once looked back.
at apple we believe the work should be more than just about improving your own self. it"s about improving the lives of others as well. our products do amazing things. and just as steve envisioned, they empower people all over the world. people who are blind, and need information read to them because they can"t see the screen. people for whom technology is a lifeline because they are isolated by distance or disability. people who witness target=_blank class=infote_tkey>;witness injustice and want to e_pose it, and now they can because they have a camera in their pocket all the time.
our commitment goes beyond the products themselves to how they’re made. to our impact on the environment. to the role we play in demanding and promoting equality. and in improving education. we believe that a company that has values and acts on them can really change the world. and an individual can too. that can be you. that must be you. graduates, your values matter. they are your north star. and work takes on new meaning when you feel you are pointed in the right direction. otherwise, it"s just a job, and life is too short for that. we need the best and brightest of your generation to lead in government and in business. in the science and in the arts. in journalism and in academia. there is honor in all of these pursuits. and there is opportunity to do work that is infused with moral purpose. you don"t have to choose between doing good and doing well. it"s a false choice, today more than ever.
your challenge is to find work that pays the rent, puts food on the table, and lets you do what is right and good and just.
so find your north star. let it guide you in life, and work, and in your life"s work. now, i suspect some of you aren"t buying this. i won"t take it personally. it"s no surprise that people are skeptical, especially here in washington. where these days you’ve got plenty of reason to be. and a healthy amount of skepticism is fine. though too often in this town, it turns to cynicism. to the idea that no matter who’s talking or what they’re saying, that their motives are questionable, their character is suspect, and if you search hard enough, you can prove that they are lying. maybe that"s just the world we live in. but graduates, this is your world to change.
as i said, i am a proud son of the south. it"s my home, and i will always love it. but for the last 17 years i’ve built a life in silicon valley; it"s a special place. the kind of place where there’s no problem that can"t be solved. no matter how difficult or comple_, that"s part of its essential quality. a very sincere sort of optimism. back in the 90s, apple ran an advertising campaign we called “think different.” it was pretty simple. every ad was a photograph of one of our heroes. people who had the audacity to challenge and change the way we all live. people like gandhi and jackie robinson, martha graham and albert einstein, amelia earhart and miles davis. these people still inspire us. they remind us to live by our deepest values and reach for our highest aspirations. they make us believe that anything is possible. a friend of mine at apple likes to say the best way to solve a problem is to walk into a room full of apple engineers and proclaim, “this is impossible.”
i can tell you, they will not accept that. and neither should you. so that"s the one thing i’d like to bring to you all the way from cupertino, california. the idea that great progress is possible, whatever line of work you choose. there will always be cynics and critics on the sidelines tearing people down, and just as harmful are those people with good intentions who make no contribution at all. in his letter from the birmingham jail, dr. king wrote that our society needed to repent, not merely for the hateful words of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.
the sidelines are not where you want to live your life. the world needs you in the arena. there are problems that need to be solved. injustices that need to be ended. people that are still being persecuted, diseases still in need of cure. no matter what you do ne_t, the world needs your energy. your passion. your impatience with progress. don"t shrink from risk. and tune out those critics and cynics. history rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. that can be you. that should be you. that must be you.
congratulations class of 2024. i’d like to take one photo of you, because this is the best view in the world. and it"s a great one.
thank you very much.

i"ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: "dad, i always told you i"d come back and get my degree."
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!”
i want to thank harvard for this timely honor. i"ll be changing my job ne_t year…and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.
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本科学位,这真是不错啊。
i applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. for my part, i"m just happy that the crimson has called me "harvard"s most successful dropout." i guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class…i did the best of everyone who failed.
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。
but i also want to be recognized as the guy who got steve ballmer to drop out of business school. i"m a bad influence. that"s why i was invited to speak at your graduation. if i had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.
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。
harvard was just a phenomenal e_perience for me. academic life was fascinating. i used to sit in on lots of classes i hadn"t even signed up for. and dorm life was terrific. i lived up at radcliffe, in currier house. there were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew i didn"t worry about getting up in the morning. that"s how i came to be the leader of the anti-social group. we clung to each other as a way of validating our rejection of all those social people.
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 was a great place to live. there were more women up there, and most of the guys were science-math types. that combination offered me the best odds, if you know what i mean. this is where i learned the sad lesson that improving your odds doesn"t guarantee success.
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。
one of my biggest memories of harvard came in january 1975, when i made a call from currier house to a company in albuquerque that had begun making the world"s first personal computers. i offered to sell them software.
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。
i worried that they would realize i was just a student in a dorm and hang up on me. instead they said: "we"re not quite ready, come see us in a month," which was a good thing, because we hadn"t written the software yet. from that moment, i worked day and night on this little e_tra credit project that marked the end of my college education and the beginning of a remarkable journey with microsoft.
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。
what i remember above all about harvard was being in the midst of so much energy and intelligence. it could be e_hilarating, intimidating, sometimes even discouraging, but always challenging. it was an amazing privilege…and though i left early, i was transformed by my years at harvard, the friendships i made, and the ideas i worked on.
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待遇……虽然我离开得比较早,但是我在这里的经历、在这里结识的朋友、在这里发展起来的一些想法,永远地改变了我。
but taking a serious look back…i do have one big regret.
但是,如果现在严肃地回忆起来,我确实有一个真正的遗憾。
i left harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities in the world--the appalling disparities of health, and wealth, and opportunity that condemn millions of people to lives of despair.
我离开哈佛的时候,根本没有意识到这个世界是多么的不平等。人类在健康、财富和机遇上的不平等大得可怕,它们使得无数的人们被迫生活在绝望之中。
i left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities here in this country. and i knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries.
我离开校园的时候,根本不知道在这个国家里,有几百万的年轻人无法获得接受教育的机会。我也不知道,发展中国家里有无数的人们生活在无法形容的贫穷和疾病之中。
it took me decades to find out.
我花了几十年才明白了这些事情。
you graduates came to harvard at a different time. you know more about the world"s inequities than the classes that came before. in your years here, i hope you"ve had a chance to think about how--in this age of accelerating technology--we can finally take on these inequities, and we can solve them.
在座的各位同学,你们是在与我不同的时代来到哈佛的。你们比以前的学生,更多地了解世界是怎样的不平等。在你们的哈佛求学过程中,我希望你们已经思考过一个问题,那就是在这个新技术加速发展的时代,我们怎样最终应对这种不平等,以及我们怎样来解决这个问题。
imagine, just for the sake of discussion, that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause--and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving lives. where would you spend it?
为了讨论的方便,请想象一下,假如你每个星期可以捐献一些时间、每个月可以捐献一些钱——你希望这些时间和金钱,可以用到对拯救生命和改善人类生活有最大作用的地方。你会选择什么地方?
for melinda and for me, the challenge is the same: how can we do the most good for the greatest number with the resources we have.
对melinda(注:盖茨的妻子)和我来说,这也是我们面临的问题:我们如何能将我们拥有的资源发挥出最大的作用。
during our discussions on this question, melinda and i read an article about the millions of children who were dying every year in poor countries from diseases that we had long ago made harmless in this country. measles, malaria, pneumonia, hepatitis b, yellow fever. one disease i had never even heard of, rotavirus, was killing half a million kids each year ? none of them in the united states.
在讨论过程中,melinda和我读到了文章,里面说在那些贫穷的国家,每年有数百万的儿童死于那些在美国早已不成问题的疾病。麻疹、疟疾、肺炎、乙型肝炎、黄热病、还有一种以前我从未听说过的轮状病毒,这些疾病每年导致50万儿童死亡,但是在美国一例死亡病例也没有。
we were shocked. we had just assumed that if millions of children were dying and they could be saved, the world would make it a priority to discover and deliver the medicines to save them. but it did not. for under a dollar, there were interventions that could save lives that just weren"t being delivered.
我们被震惊了。我们想,如果几百万儿童正在死亡线上挣扎,而且他们是可以被挽救的,那么世界理应将用药物拯救他们作为头等大事。但是事实并非如此。那些价格还不到一美元的救命的药剂,并没有送到他们的手中。
if you believe that every life has equal value, it"s revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not. we said to ourselves: "this can"t be true. but if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving."
如果你相信每个生命都是平等的,那么当你发现某些生命被挽救了,而另一些生命被放弃了,你会感到无法接受。我们对自己说:“事情不可能如此。如果这是真的,那么它理应是我们努力的头等大事。”
so we began our work in the same way anyone here would begin it. we asked: "how could the world let these children die?"
所以,我们用任何人都会想到的方式开始工作。我们问:“这个世界怎么可以眼睁睁看着这些孩子死去?”
the answer is simple, and harsh. the market did not reward saving the lives of these children, and governments did not subsidize it. so the children died because their mothers and their fathers had no power in the market and no voice in the system.
答案很简单,也很令人难堪。在市场经济中,拯救儿童是一项没有利润的工作,政府也不会提供补助。这些儿童之所以会死亡,是因为他们的父母在经济上没有实力,在政治上没有能力发出声音。
but you and i have both.
但是,你们和我在经济上有实力,在政治上能够发出声音。
we can make market forces work better for the poor if we can develop a more creative capitalism ? if we can stretch the reach of market forces so that more people can make a profit, or at least make a living, serving people who are suffering from the worst inequities. we also can press governments around the world to spend ta_payer money in ways that better reflect the values of the people who pay the ta_es.
我们可以让市场更好地为穷人服务,如果我们能够设计出一种更有创新性的资本主义制度——如果我们可以改变市场,让更多的人可以获得利润,或者至少可以维持生活——那么,这就可以帮到那些正在极端不平等的状况中受苦的人们。我们还可以向全世界的政府施压,要求他们将纳税人的钱,花到更符合纳税人价值观的地方。
if we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world. this task is open-ended. it can never be finished. but a conscious effort to answer this challenge will change the world.
如果我们能够找到这样一种方法,既可以帮到穷人,又可以为商人带来利润,为政治家带来选票,那么我们就找到了一种减少世界性不平等的可持续的发展道路。这个任务是无限的。它不可能被完全完成,但是任何自觉地解决这个问题的尝试,都将会改变这个世界。
i am optimistic that we can do this, but i talk to skeptics who claim there is no hope. they say: "inequity has been with us since the beginning, and will be with us till the end ? because people just…don"t…care." i completely disagree.
在这个问题上,我是乐观的。但是,我也遇到过那些感到绝望的怀疑主义者。他们说:“不平等从人类诞生的第一天就存在,到人类灭亡的最后一天也将存在。——因为人类对这个问题根本不在乎。”我完全不能同意这种观点。
i believe we have more caring than we know what to do with.
我相信,问题不是我们不在乎,而是我们不知道怎么做。
all of us here in this yard, at one time or another, have seen human tragedies that broke our hearts, and yet we did nothing--not because we didn"t care, but because we didn"t know what to do. if we had known how to help, we would have acted.
此刻在这个院子里的所有人,生命中总有这样或那样的时刻,目睹人类的悲剧,感到万分伤心。但是我们什么也没做,并非我们无动于衷,而是因为我们不知道做什么和怎么做。如果我们知道如何做是有效的,那么我们就会采取行动。
the barrier to change is not too little caring; it is too much comple_ity.
改变世界的阻碍,并非人类的冷漠,而是世界实在太复杂。
to turn caring into action, we need to see a problem, see a solution, and see the impact. but comple_ity blocks all three steps.
为了将关心转变为行动,我们需要找到问题,发现解决办法的方法以及评估后果。但是世界的复杂性使得这三步都难于做到。
if we can really see a problem, which is the first step, we come to the second step: cutting through the comple_ity to find a solution.
就算我们真正发现了问题所在,也不过是迈出了第一步,接着还有第二步:那就是从复杂的事件中找到解决办法。
finding solutions is essential if we want to make the most of our caring. if we have clear and proven answers anytime an organization or individual asks "how can i help?," then we can get action--and we can make sure that none of the caring in the world is wasted. but comple_ity makes it hard to mark a path of action for everyone who cares--and that makes it hard for their caring to matter.
如果我们要让关心落到实处,我们就必须找到解决办法。如果我们有一个清晰的和可靠的答案,那么当任何组织和个人发出疑问“如何我能提供帮助”的时候,我们就能采取行动。我们就能够保证不浪费一丁点全世界人类对他人的关心。但是,世界的复杂性使得很难找到对全世界每一个有爱心的人都有效的行动方法,因此人类对他人的关心往往很难产生实际效果。
cutting through comple_ity to find a solution runs through four predictable stages: determine a goal, find the highest-leverage approach, discover the ideal technology for that approach, and in the meantime, make the smartest application of the technology that you already have--whether it"s something sophisticated, like a drug, or something simpler, like a bednet.
从这个复杂的世界中找到解决办法,可以分为四个步骤:确定目标,找到最高效的方法,发现适用于这个方法的新技术,同时最聪明地利用现有的技术,不管它是复杂的药物,还是最简单的蚊帐。
the aids epidemic offers an e_ample. the broad goal, of course, is to end the disease. the highest-leverage approach is prevention. the ideal technology would be a vaccine that gives lifetime immunity with a single dose. so governments, drug companies, and foundations fund vaccine research. but their work is likely to take more than a decade, so in the meantime, we have to work with what we have in hand--and the best prevention approach we have now is getting people to avoid risky behavior.
艾滋病就是一个例子。总的目标,毫无疑问是消灭这种疾病。最高效的方法是预防。最理想的技术是发明一种疫苗,只要注射一次,就可以终生免疫。所以,政府、制药公司、基金会应该资助疫苗研究。但是,这样研究工作很可能十年之内都无法完成。因此,与此同时,我们必须使用现有的技术,目前最有效的预防方法就是设法让人们避免那些危险的行为。
pursuing that goal starts the four-step cycle again. this is the pattern. the crucial thing is to never stop thinking and working--and never do what we did with malaria and tuberculosis in the 20th century--which is to surrender to comple_ity and quit.
要实现这个新的目标,又可以采用新的四步循环。这是一种模式。关键的东西是永远不要停止思考和行动。我们千万不能再犯上个世纪在疟疾和肺结核上犯过的错误,那时我们因为它们太复杂,而放弃了采取行动。
the final step--after seeing the problem and finding an approach--is to measure the impact of your work and share your successes and failures so that others learn from your efforts.
在发现问题和找到解决方法之后,就是最后一步——评估工作结果,将你的成功经验或者失败经验传播出去,这样其他人就可以从你的努力中有所收获。
you have to have the statistics, of course. you have to be able to show that a program is vaccinating millions more children. you have to be able to show a decline in the number of children dying from these diseases. this is essential not just to improve the program, but also to help draw more investment from business and government.
当然,你必须有一些统计数字。你必须让他人知道,你的项目为几百万儿童新接种了疫苗。你也必须让他人知道,儿童死亡人数下降了多少。这些都是很关键的,不仅有利于改善项目效果,也有利于从商界和政府得到更多的帮助。
but if you want to inspire people to participate, you have to show more than numbers; you have to convey the human impact of the work ? so people can feel what saving a life means to the families affected.
但是,这些还不够,如果你想激励其他人参加你的项目,你就必须拿出更多的统计数字;你必须展示你的项目的人性因素,这样其他人就会感到拯救一个生命,对那些处在困境中的家庭到底意味着什么。
the defining and ongoing innovations of this age--biotechnology, the computer, the internet--give us a chance we"ve never had before to end e_treme poverty and end death from preventable disease.
这个时代无时无刻不在涌现出新的革新——生物技术,计算机,互联网——它们给了我们一个从未有过的机会,去终结那些极端的贫穷和非恶性疾病的死亡。
the emergence of low-cost personal computers gave rise to a powerful network that has transformed opportunities for learning and communicating.
低成本的个人电脑的出现,使得一个强大的互联网有机会诞生,它为学习和交流提供了巨大的机会。
the magical thing about this network is not just that it collapses distance and makes everyone your neighbor. it also dramatically increases the number of brilliant minds we can have working together on the same problem--and that scales up the rate of innovation to a staggering degree.
网络的神奇之处,不仅仅是它缩短了物理距离,使得天涯若比邻。它还极大地增加了怀有共同想法的人们聚集在一起的机会,我们可以为了解决同一个问题,一起共同工作。这就大大加快了革新的进程,发展速度简直快得让人震惊。
at the same time, for every person in the world who has access to this technology, five people don"t. that means many creative minds are left out of this discussion--smart people with practical intelligence and relevant e_perience who don"t have the technology to hone their talents or contribute their ideas to the world.
与此同时,世界上有条件上网的人,只是全部人口的六分之一。这意味着,还有许多具有创造性的人们,没有加入到我们的讨论中来。那些有着实际的操作经验和相关经历的聪明人,却没有技术来帮助他们,将他们的天赋或者想法与全世界分享。
we need as many people as possible to have access to this technology, because these advances are triggering a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. they are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, corporations, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches, and measure the impact of their efforts to address the hunger, poverty, and desperation george marshall spoke of 60 years ago.
我们需要尽可能地让更多的人有机会使用新技术,因为这些新技术正在引发一场革命,人类将因此可以互相帮助。新技术正在创造一种可能,不仅是政府,还包括大学、公司、小机构、甚至个人,能够发现问题所在、能够找到解决办法、能够评估他们努力的效果,去改变那些马歇尔六十年前就说到过的问题——饥饿、贫穷和绝望。
members of the harvard family: here in the yard is one of the great collections of intellectual talent in the world.
哈佛是一个大家庭。这个院子里在场的人们,是全世界最有智力的人类群体之一。
what for?
我们可以做些什么?
there is no question that the faculty, the alumni, the students, and the benefactors of harvard have used their power to improve the lives of people here and around the world. but can we do more? can harvard dedicate its intellect to improving the lives of people who will never even hear its name?
毫无疑问,哈佛的老师、校友、学生和资助者,已经用他们的能力改善了全世界各地人们的生活。但是,我们还能够再做什么呢?有没有可能,哈佛的人们可以将他们的智慧,用来帮助那些甚至从来没有听到过“哈佛”这个名字的人?
let me make a request of the deans and the professors--the intellectual leaders here at harvard: as you hire new faculty, award tenure, review curriculum, and determine degree requirements, please ask yourselves:
请允许我向各位院长和教授,提出一个请求——你们是哈佛的智力领袖,当你们雇用新的老师、授予终身教职、评估课程、决定学位颁发标准的时候,请问你们自己如下的问题:
should our best minds be dedicated to solving our biggest problems?
我们最优秀的人才是否在致力于解决我们最大的问题?
should harvard encourage its faculty to take on the world"s worst inequities? should harvard students learn about the depth of global poverty…the prevalence of world hunger…the scarcity of clean water…the girls kept out of school…the children who die from diseases we can cure?
哈佛是否鼓励她的老师去研究解决世界上最严重的不平等?哈佛的学生是否从全球那些极端的贫穷中学到了什么……世界性的饥荒……清洁的水资源的缺乏……无法上学的女童……死于非恶性疾病的儿童……哈佛的学生有没有从中学到东西?
should the world"s most privileged people learn about the lives of the world"s least privileged?
那些世界上过着最优越生活的人们,有没有从那些最困难的人们身上学到东西?
these are not rhetorical questions--you will answer with your policies.
这些问题并非语言上的修辞。你必须用自己的行动来回答它们。
when you consider what those of us here in this yard have been given--in talent, privilege, and opportunity--there is almost no limit to what the world has a right to e_pect from us.
想一想吧,我们在这个院子里的这些人,被给予过什么——天赋、特权、机遇——那么可以这样说,全世界的人们几乎有无限的权力,期待我们做出贡献。
in line with the promise of this age, i want to e_hort each of the graduates here to take on an issue--a comple_ problem, a deep inequity, and become a specialist on it. if you make it the focus of your career, that would be phenomenal. but you don"t have to do that to make an impact. for a few hours every week, you can use the growing power of the internet to get informed, find others with the same interests, see the barriers, and find ways to cut through them.
同这个时代的期望一样,我也要向今天各位毕业的同学提出一个忠告:你们要选择一个问题,一个复杂的问题,一个有关于人类深刻的不平等的问题,然后你们要变成这个问题的专家。如果你们能够使得这个问题成为你们职业的核心,那么你们就会非常杰出。但是,你们不必一定要去做那些大事。每个星期只用几个小时,你就可以通过互联网得到信息,找到志同道合的朋友,发现困难所在,找到解决它们的途径。
don"t let comple_ity stop you. be activists. take on the big inequities. it will be one of the great e_periences of your lives.
不要让这个世界的复杂性阻碍你前进。要成为一个行动主义者。将解决人类的不平等视为己任。它将成为你生命中最重要的经历之一。
you graduates are coming of age in an amazing time. as you leave harvard, you have technology that members of my class never had. you have awareness of global inequity, which we did not have. and with that awareness, you likely also have an informed conscience that will torment you if you abandon these people whose lives you could change with very little effort. you have more than we had; you must start sooner, and carry on longer.
在座的各位毕业的同学,你们所处的时代是一个神奇的时代。当你们离开哈佛的时候,你们拥有的技术,是我们那一届学生所没有的。你们已经了解到了世界上的不平等,我们那时还不知道这些。有了这样的了解之后,要是你再弃那些你可以帮助的人们于不顾,就将受到良心的谴责,只需一点小小的努力,你就可以改变那些人们的生活。你们比我们拥有更大的能力;你们必须尽早开始,尽可能长时期坚持下去。
knowing what you know, how could you not?
知道了你们所知道的一切,你们怎么可能不采取行动呢?
and i hope you will come back here to harvard 30 years from now and reflect on what you have done with your talent and your energy. i hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world"s deepest inequities…on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their humanity.
我希望,30年后你们还会再回到哈佛,想起你们用自己的天赋和能力所做出的一切。我希望,在那个时候,你们用来评价自己的标准,不仅仅是你们的专业成就,而包括你们为改变这个世界深刻的不平等所做出的努力,以及你们如何善待那些远隔千山万水、与你们毫不涉及的人们,你们与他们唯一的共同点就是同为人类。
good luck.
祝各位好运。

首先,我们要培养学生学习英语的兴趣。让学生在学习中去寻找欢乐,在欢乐中找到兴趣,在兴趣中下决心,在决心中培养毅力,即动因 兴趣 决心 持之以恒=成绩。当然开始学英语时不要追求太高,太难。指导学生从简单的,有趣的,好笑的开始使学生找出适合自己的学习兴趣。同时引导他们“from easy to difficult.”。并允许学生出错,不要追求每个单词都正确。,
其次,学生有了兴趣,帮助他们制定计划。每天看英语材料和听英语广播,寻找学习环境,生活范围有多大,学英语的天地就有多宽广,利用一切机会去接触英语。在课堂上让学生试着讲英语,平时同学之间交流时多用英语,鼓励学生不要怕出错,错了没关系。同时要建立每周学习生词的目标,在记录词汇本里,记录各种各样的生词,短语。因为学好英语必须要有词汇作基础,要打持久战;记单词要打游击战。就能做到“from little to more”。
学英语如同交朋友,在不同的场合接触就可能记牢,不能孤立的记单词,要记住它的左邻右舍。同时很有必要指导学生大量的阅读,这对学习英语有是非常重要的,多了解西方文化,学习西方习惯,掌握大量的语言背景是学习的又一条重要途径。那么就达到from chinese to english。我们最终要达到目的 “from english to english ,from english to chinese ”
最后,让学生在苦中享受欢乐,越学越有趣,从被动变主动,从要我学变为我要学.
first of all, we must cultivate students" interest in english study. let students in learning to find joy in joy in the interest of interest, found in the determination of decision and perseverance, namely train drivers to perserve = interest. of course started to learn english, don"t be too hard. guiding students from the simple, funny, funny began to enable students to find suitable for their interest in learning. and they decide to "light" surveys. and allow students to go wrong, don"t pursue every word is correct. ,
secondly, the students have interest, help them to plan. watch english materials and listen to english radio, looking for learning environment, life is much, learn english and have much broader, take every chance to e_posure to english. in class, students try to speak in english, usually between classmates e_change, encourage students to use english, don"t be afraid of making mistakes the wrong. to establish weekly learning new words in the target, the vocabulary, records recorded all sorts of new words and phrases. because learning english must have vocabulary as the foundation, will play a protracted war, remembering words to guerrilla warfare. can make them more "to" surveys.
learning english as friends, in different occasions contact might remember, not isolated words and remember its neighbors. it is necessary to guide students to read, this of learning english is very important to have more understanding of western culture and western learning habit, master of language background is also an important way of learning. then two chinese ppc to achieve. we finally achieved the goal ", two surveys to two chinese to spending."

four years ago, we entered sanjing university. some of us may have doubted that if we had made the right decision, but now, because of the friends we made , because of the sadness and happiness we shared, because of the teachers who gave us guidance, because of all the time in sanjiang we spent and all activities we participated in, we could not tear ourselves away from the dear campus. it’s difficult to contemplate that perhaps some of us may never see each other again. but we have so rich memeries and e_periences that we will never foget each other.
today we enter the real world to face the challenge .with the knowledge and friends we gained from our university, with the endurance, perseverance, industry we possess, every obstacle that we may encounter in our lives will be overcome. i believe that everyone will make every effort to strive for our life. and remember, an ideal job is not found lying in the street; it takes time and effort to find. but in the end, it will be there for you. so don’t settle for second best and keep looking.
importantly, we are here today to give our thanks to the unconditional support of each of you, your words of encouragement in good times and your words of consolation in difficult moments. we thank you for your enormous patience with us, for always giving a little more than we asked for and for instilling in us the values and principles that govern our lives now and helping us to become the people we are. the degree that we will receive today also belongs to you.

good morning, my dear teachers
what is friendship? the answers may be different. but one thing is clear that friendship is the most important ingredient in the recipe of life. we cannot live without friendship just as we cannot survive without air and water. friendship gives us a feeling of security and warmth, and friendship encourages us to go ahead all the time.
everyone needs friends and is eager to get friendship. when we feel happy, we can share our happiness with friends. when we feel gloomy, friends will comfort us. if we are arrogant, our friends can persuade us, and they can make us confident and brave when we are discouraged.
friendship is valuable. it can touch your heart and give you hope. many people are proud of having a good friend. true friendship must be sincere and must not have conditions. if you help your friends for no reason but simply because they are your friends, this means that you regard your friends as yourself. this is true friends.
true friendship should be based on mutual understanding, not on mutual benefit. moreover, both must also have similar ideals. if not, their friendship still cannot last long. sometimes, people have good friends when they are young and studying in school. however, after graduation, when they are working in the society, their friendship will soon come to an end.最新初三毕业英语演讲稿
mutual understanding doesn’t always mean that we should know every thing of our friends. it means that they have similar ideals and trust each other. on the other hand, doing similar things can build up the friendship.
in fact, friendship isn’t always easily kept. when you want to keep a friend, you should treat him or her like you want to be treated. keep the secrets that your friend tells you. keep your promise with your friend. share things with your friend. stick up for your friend. we should try our best to protect the friendship from being hurt. as an old saying goes, "friendship cannot stand always on one side." true friendship should be able to stand all kinds of tests.
because of friendship, our lives are full of happiness. therefore, the more friends we have, the more pleasure we can share with them. let’s say "thank you" to our friends for their love and care. no matter where we go or who we become, never forget to keep the beautiful friendship!最新初三毕业英语演讲稿

谢谢,谢谢考恩校长,和有头有脸的来宾们,呃,有头有脸的来宾,你知道你是谁,不用介绍了(众人笑),诚心感谢大家……以及讨厌的西班牙语老师(众人大笑)
and thank you to all the graduating class of 2024, i realize most of you are hungover and havesplitting headaches and haven"t slept since fat tuesday, but you can"t graduate "til i finish, solisten up.
感谢所有2024届的毕业生,我知道你们绝大多数人还因为宿醉头痛欲裂,狂欢到今天都还没睡,但是没听完我的演讲不能毕业,所以都听好了!(学生们欢呼)
when i was asked to make the commencement speech, i immediately said yes. then i wentto look up what commencement meant. which would have been easy if i had a dictionary, butmost of the books in our house are portia"s, and they"re all written in australian. so i had tobreak the word down myself, to find out the meaning.
当我被问是否来参加毕业典礼演讲的时候,我立刻就回答了:yes!……然后我才去查“毕业典礼”是什么意思(众人笑)。如果我有字典的话就轻松多了,但我家的书大多是portia的(ellen的妻子,澳大利亚人)而且都是澳洲文(众人笑),所以……我得自己摸索,去找出这个词的意思。
commencement: common, and cement. common cement. you commonly see cement onsidewalks. sidewalks have cracks, and if you step on a crack, you break your mother"s back. sothere"s that. but i"m honored that you"ve asked me here to speak at your common cement.
“commencement毕业典礼”:commen常见的+cement水泥,常见的水泥(众人大笑)你常常见到水泥,在人行道上,人行道有裂缝,你要是踩到裂缝,就会撞伤你妈妈的背(大家笑),所以大概意思就是这样了(笑声)
i thought that you had to be a famous alumnus - alumini - aluminum - alumis - you had tograduate from this school. and i didn"t go to college here, and i don"t know if president cowanknows, i didn"t go to any college at all. any college. and i"m not saying you wasted your time,or money, but look at me, i"m a huge celebrity.
但我很荣幸被邀请来做你们的“常见的水泥”的演讲。我以为非得是又有名,又是你们学校的校友才能来……我没有在这里念过大学,我不知校长先生是否知道,我完全没上过大学…任何一间大学!我倒不是在说你们在浪费时间和金钱,不过看看我,我是个超级成功的大名人唉!(大家爆笑)
although i did graduate from the school of hard knocks, our mascot was the knockers. i spent alot of time here growing up. my mom worked at (? 估计是某家商店的名字) and i would go thereevery time i needed to steal something out of her purse. but why am i here today? clearly notto steal, you"re too far away and i"d never get away with it.
事实上我在这里度过许多成长的岁月,我妈妈在这里工作时,我常来找她……每当我要偷她钱包里的钱时(大家笑)。但我今天在这里的原因,显然不是要偷你们的钱……
i"m here because of you. because i can"t think of a more tenacious, more courageousgraduating class. i mean, look at you all, wearing your robes. usually when you"re wearing arobe at 10 in the morning, it means you"ve given up. i"m here because i love new orleans. iwas born and raised here, i spent my formative years here, and like you, while i was living herei only did laundry si_ times.
我在这里是因为你们,因为没有比你们更优秀更勇敢的毕业生了。看看你们每一个人,身穿你们的袍子(学士袍),通常我们说在早上10点还穿着袍子(睡袍)代表你放弃人生了(大家大笑)。我在这里,因为我爱纽奥良,我在这里出生成长,在此度过少年时光,正如你们一样,当我住这里时,我只洗过6次衣服(众人笑)。
when i finished school, i was completely lost. and by school, i mean middle school, but i wentahead and finished high school anyway. and i - i really, i had no ambition, i didn"t know whati wanted to do. i did everything from - i shucked oysters, i was a hostess, i was a bartender, iwas a waitress, i painted houses, i sold vaccuum cleaners, i had no idea. and i thought i"d justfinally settle in some job, and i would make enough money to pay my rent, maybe have basiccable, maybe not, i didn"t really have a plan, my point is that, by the time i was your age, ireally thought i knew who i was, but i had no idea. like for e_ample, when i was your age, iwas dating men. so what i"m saying is, when you"re older, most of you will be gay. anyonewriting this stuff down? parents?
当我从学校毕业的时候,我完完全全迷失了自我,学校我指的是初中(大家笑),后来我也继续念完了高中。我当时,没有任何的野心,不知道自己想做什么。我什么工作都做,我挖生蚝,当带位员,做酒保,当服务生,粉刷房子,卖吸尘器……完全不知道自己想做什么。我只想随便找个糊口的工作,过一辈子,能有钱负得起房租就行,我完全没有任何计划。我想说的是,当我像你们这么大的时候,我真的以为我了解自己,但其实我并不了解,举例来说,我像你们这么大的时候,还在和男人约会(大家大笑)。所以我的意思是:当你们再长大些后,大多数的人,都会是gay!(场内爆笑,ellen自己也笑了)
anyway, i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life, and the way i ended up on this pathwas from a very tragic event. i was maybe 19, and my girlfriend at the time was killed in a caraccident. and i passed the accident, and i didn"t know it was her and i kept going, and i foundout shortly after that, it was her. and i was living in a basement apartment, i had no money, ihad no heat, no air, i had a mattress on the floor and the apartment was infested with fleas.and i was soul-searching, i was like, why is she suddenly gone, and there are fleas here? i don"tunderstand, there must be a purpose, and wouldn"t it be so convenient if we could pick upthe phone and call god, and ask these questions.
总之,当时我不知道我的人生要干嘛,而最后我找到了我人生目标,却是因为一件十分悲惨的事。我那时可能才19岁,当时的女朋友因为车祸身亡了。我经过了事故现场,并不知道是她,还继续往前走。不久后,才知道那是她。我当时……住在地下室的公寓,没有钱,没有暖气,房子里都是跳蚤。我困惑不已,心想,为何她突然走了,而为何我又呆再这样一个境地里。我无法理解,但其中一定有什么理由。要是能直接拿起电话打给上帝问个清楚,不就太好了。
and i started writing and what poured out of me was an imaginary conversation with god,which was one-sided, and i finished writing it and i looked at it and i said to myself, and ihadn"t even been doing stand-up, ever, there was no club in town. i said, "i"m gonna do this onthe tonight show with johnny carson"- at the time he was the king - "and i"m gonna be thefirst woman in the history of the show to be called over to sit down." and several years later, iwas the first woman in the history of the show, and only woman in the history of the show to sitdown, because of that phone conversation with god that i wrote.
于是我开始写一些东西,心里涌现出一段我和上帝的对话,虽然只是我一个人的独白。当我完成了它后,我阅读了这个剧本,对自己说,我说我要在“今夜秀”上和强尼.卡森一起表演这一段。强尼.卡森是当时主持届的天王,我对自己说我要成为该节目史上第一个被邀请和强尼一起坐下来访问的女性。数年之后,我成为这个节目史上,第一位也是唯一一位,被邀请坐下来和他访问的女性。就因为那段我写的和上帝打电话的剧本。
and i started this path of stand-up and it was successful and it was great, but it was hard,because i was trying to please everybody and i had this secret that i was keeping, that i wasgay. and i thought if people found out they wouldn"t like me, they wouldn"t laugh at me.
从此我开始做单人脱口秀,做得很成功,也很辛苦,因为我想讨好每一个人,同时又守着我身为同性恋的秘密。我想人们要是发现了,就不会喜欢我了。
then my career turned into - i got my own sitcom, and that was very successful, another levelof success. and i thought, what if they find out i"m gay, then they"ll never watch, and this wasa long time ago, this was when we just had white presidents - this was back, many years ago -and i finally decided that i was living with so much shame, and so much fear, that i justcouldn"t live that way anymore, and i decided to come out and make it creative. and mycharacter would come out at the same time, and it wasn"t to make a political statement, itwasn"t to do anything other than to free myself up from this heaviness that i was carryingaround, and i just wanted to be honest. and i thought, "what"s the worst that could happen? ican lose my career". i did. i lost my career. the show was cancelled after si_ years, withouteven telling me, i read it in the paper. the phone didn"t ring for three years. i had no offers.nobody wanted to touch me at all.
后来我又有了自己的喜剧,也很成功,更进一步的成功。我于是更担心,要是别人发现了怎么办,是不是就不会看我的节目了?这都是很久以前的事了,你们可能不知道,那都是我们的总统还都是白人时候的事了(大家大笑)。最终我还是决定……我一直带着羞耻和恐惧而活,我再也不能像那样活下去了,于是我决定让剧中的主角和我自己同时出柜。不是为了什么政治原因或是其他,只是为了让我从一个背负已久的沉重枷锁中释放出来,我只是想要……诚实!我想不会有更惨的事发生了,难道会失去我的演艺事业吗?结果,我真的失去了。我的节目在做了6年后,没有告知我就停播了,我读了报纸才知道。家中的电话三年没有再响过,没人愿意找我做节目,没人愿意碰我。
yet, i was getting letters from kids that almost committed suicide, but didn"t, because of whati did. and i realised that i had a purpose. and it wasn"t just about me and it wasn"t aboutcelebrity, but i felt like i was being punished... it was a bad time, i was angry, i was sad, andthen i was offered a talkshow. and the people that offered me the talkshow tried to sell it. andmost stations didn"t want to pick it up. most people didn"t want to buy it because they thoughtnobody would watch me.
然而我收到了想要自杀的同性恋孩子的来信,他们因为我的出柜而最终没有自杀,我才了解到,我在这个世上是有目的的。那曾是一段痛苦的日子,我很愤世嫉俗,很难过。后来有人找我做脱口秀(今天的ellenshow),制作公司想要卖出节目,但是大多数电视台都不愿意买。
really when i look back on it, i wouldn"t change a thing. i mean, it was so important for me tolose everything because i found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself.ultimately, that"s what"s gotten me to this place. i don"t live in fear, i"m free, i have no secrets.and i know i"ll always be ok, because no matter what, i know who i am.
当我回想起这些往事的时候,我一点也不想去改变什么,即使失去一切。因为我意识到,最重要的事是,对自己诚实。我的选择令我在今天能活得自在,没有恐惧和秘密。我知道一切都是ok的,因为无论如何,我知道自己是谁。
so in conclusion, when i was younger i thought success was something different. i thoughtwhen i grow up, i want to be famous. i want to be a star. i want to be in movies. when i growup i want to see the world, drive nice cars, i want to have groupies. to quote the pussycatdolls. how many people thought it was "boobies", by the way? it"s not, it"s "groupies".
因此,这是不是结论的结论,当我年轻时,对成功的定义不同,我想我的志愿是:我想出名,想当明星,拍电影,我想要去看世界,开名车,有一群死党……(ellen这段说的很溜,大家反应过来其实这是小野猫的一首歌的歌词,于是大笑)
but my idea of success is different today. and as you grow, you"ll realise the definition ofsuccess changes. for many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila.for me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to giveinto peer pressure. to try to be something that you"re not. to live your life as an honest andcompassionate person. to contribute in some way.
但今日我对成功的定义变了,当你长大,你就会发现这点。对你们中的很多人来说,成功的定义是能灌下20杯龙舌兰酒(大家笑)。对我来说,生命中最重要的事是:活得诚实!别逼自己去做不是真正的你,要活得正直,有怜悯之心,在某些方面有所贡献。
so to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. never followanyone else"s path, unless you"re in the woods and you"re lost and you see a path, and by allmeans you should follow that. don"t give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. don"ttake anyone"s advice. so my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.
因此,这是结论的结论(众人笑):追随热情,忠于自我,绝不要追随别人的脚步,除非你在森林里迷路了才要这么做(大家笑)。别给人忠告,别接受任何人的忠告。所以…我要给大家的忠告是(大家大笑):做真实的你,一切都会没事的。
and i know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there"s no need to worry.the economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine. it"s gonna begreat. you"ve already survived a hurricane. what else can happen to you? and as i mentionedbefore, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. andnow you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. like, "is it above sealevel?" .
我知道在座很多人都在担心自己的前途,但不用担心,经济正急速增长,就业市场求才若渴(大家大笑),地球也好的很!(大家笑)一切都会好的,你们都经历过风灾了,还有什么可怕的?如我以前所说的:最惨痛的事教会你最多。比如现在你第一次面试,就知道该问考官什么了,例如“公司高于海平面吗?”(大家大笑,纽奥良因地势低被淹水)
so to conclude my conclusion that i"ve previously concluded, in the common cementspeech, i guess what i"m trying to say is life is like one big mardi gras. but instead of showingyour boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you"ll have more beads thanyou know what to do with. and you"ll be drunk, most of the time. so the katrina class of 2024,i say congratulations and if you don"t remember a thing i said today, remember this: you"regonna be ok, dum de dum dum dum, just dance.
因此……总结一下我刚才做的我的“常见的水泥”演讲的结论(大家笑),我猜我想说的是,人生犹如一场狂欢嘉年华,记得展现你的头脑,而不是胸部。……2024年的毕业生们,我说祝贺大家了!若你不记得我今天说的任何话,就请记住这一句:you’re going to be ok,dun-doom-doom-doom(大家愣),just dance!(所有人大笑欢呼)
