給畢業(yè)生的十點(diǎn)建議
美國(guó)聯(lián)邦儲(chǔ)備局主席本·伯南克在普林斯頓大學(xué)2013年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievement is not going to bring you much satisfaction.
如果你對(duì)自己都感到不滿意，即使是最偉大的成就也不會(huì)給你帶來(lái)多少滿足。
Dream Big Dreams
心懷遠(yuǎn)大夢(mèng)想
美國(guó)國(guó)家航空和航天局局長(zhǎng)查爾斯·博爾登在特拉華州立大學(xué)2013年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
It is your generation that will have the chance—and the responsibility—to take the freedom movement to the next level. Embodied in you are the hopes and dreams and aspirations of a truly united America. It is only as one nation that we will be able to face and conquer the challenges that the global economy as well as science and technology have in store for us.
你們這一代人將會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)、有責(zé)任，將自由運(yùn)動(dòng)推向下一個(gè)高峰。你們的身上體現(xiàn)著一個(gè)真正統(tǒng)一的美國(guó)的希望、夢(mèng)想和渴望。只有當(dāng)我們?nèi)珖?guó)上下團(tuán)結(jié)一心，我們才能面對(duì)并戰(zhàn)勝全球經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)以及未來(lái)科技發(fā)展的挑戰(zhàn)。
First Lady’s Three Questions
第一夫人的三個(gè)問(wèn)題
美國(guó)第一夫人米歇爾·奧巴馬在東肯塔基大學(xué)2013年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
That’s what’s always made this country great—embracing the diversity of experience and opinion that surrounds us everywhere we go. So I encourage you all—seek it out. Don’t just spend time with people your own age—go to the local senior center and talk with folks who have a little life experience under their belts. You would be amazed at the wisdom they have to offer.
無(wú)論我們?nèi)サ侥睦?，都?lè)于接受周圍人們不同的經(jīng)驗(yàn)與多樣的觀念，正是這一點(diǎn)使我們一直以來(lái)都是個(gè)了不起的國(guó)家。所以我鼓勵(lì)你們都去求索，不要只與自己的同齡人在一起，到當(dāng)?shù)氐睦夏耆酥行暮湍切┯腥松啔v的人們談一談，他們的智慧會(huì)讓你們驚訝不已。
Participation and Perseverance
參與和堅(jiān)持
美國(guó)總統(tǒng)貝拉克·奧巴馬在俄亥俄州立大學(xué)2013年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
The point is, if you are living your life to the fullest, you will fail, you will stumble, you will screw up, you will fall down. But it will make you stronger, and you’ll get it right the next time, or the time after that, or the time after that. And that is not only true for your personal pursuits, but it’s also true for the broader causes that you believe in as well.
重點(diǎn)在于，如果你嘗盡人生百味，生活過(guò)得充實(shí)，就少不了經(jīng)歷失敗和挫折，難免會(huì)犯錯(cuò)和跌倒。但這會(huì)使你更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，下一次會(huì)做好，或者再下一次、再下一次。你們個(gè)人的追求是如此，你們信仰的更大的目標(biāo)也是如此。
Join the Conspiracy of Love
加入愛(ài)心同盟
美國(guó)紐瓦克市長(zhǎng)科里·布克在斯坦福大學(xué)2012年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
People who get comfortable of body get fat. People who get comfortable of mind and intellect get dull. People who get comfortable in their spirit, they miss what they were created for. They were created to magnify the glory of the world, not simply reduce in size and fail to reflect that spirit.
身體慣享舒服愜意，會(huì)積累脂肪；頭腦習(xí)于知足懶惰，會(huì)變得遲鈍；心靈淪為漠然麻木，會(huì)錯(cuò)失生命的意義。人活一世要為這個(gè)世界增光添彩，切莫庸碌無(wú)為，枉度此生。
Leading a Rich Life
富足的人生
美國(guó)第一夫人米歇爾·奧巴馬在俄勒岡州立大學(xué)2012年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
More than anything else, that will be the true measure of your success—not how well you do when you’re healthy and happy and everything is going according to plan, but what you do when life knocks you to the ground and all your plans go right out the window. In those darkest moments, you will have a choice: Do you dwell on everything you’ve lost? Or do you focus on what you still have, and find a way to move forward with passion, with determination, and with joy?
這才是衡量成功最為重要的、真正的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)——成功與否，并不是看你在健康快樂(lè)、事事順心之時(shí)能取得什么成就，而是當(dāng)生活把你打倒在地，當(dāng)你所有的計(jì)劃都化為泡影的時(shí)候，在最黑暗的時(shí)刻，看你作出什么樣的選擇。是沉溺在失去的痛苦中無(wú)法自拔，還是把握擁有的一切，以飽滿的熱情，堅(jiān)毅的決心，滿懷喜悅地開(kāi)創(chuàng)前進(jìn)的道路？
