The Ten Suggestions
給畢業(yè)生的十點建議
美國聯(lián)邦儲備局主席本·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.
如果你對自己都感到不滿意，即使是最偉大的成就也不會給你帶來多少滿足。
Dream Big Dreams
心懷遠大夢想
美國國家航空和航天局局長查爾斯·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.
你們這一代人將會有機會、有責(zé)任，將自由運動推向下一個高峰。你們的身上體現(xiàn)著一個真正統(tǒng)一的美國的希望、夢想和渴望。只有當(dāng)我們?nèi)珖舷聢F結(jié)一心，我們才能面對并戰(zhàn)勝全球經(jīng)濟危機以及未來科技發(fā)展的挑戰(zhàn)。
First Lady’s Three Questions
第一夫人的三個問題
美國第一夫人米歇爾·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.
無論我們?nèi)サ侥睦铮紭酚诮邮苤車藗儾煌慕?jīng)驗與多樣的觀念，正是這一點使我們一直以來都是個了不起的國家。所以我鼓勵你們都去求索，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，他們的智慧會讓你們驚訝不已。
Participation and Perseverance
參與和堅持
美國總統(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.
重點在于，如果你嘗盡人生百味，生活過得充實，就少不了經(jīng)歷失敗和挫折，難免會犯錯和跌倒。但這會使你更加堅強，下一次會做好，或者再下一次、再下一次。你們個人的追求是如此，你們信仰的更大的目標(biāo)也是如此。
Join the Conspiracy of Love
加入愛心同盟
美國紐瓦克市長科里·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，會積累脂肪；頭腦習(xí)于知足懶惰，會變得遲鈍；心靈淪為漠然麻木，會錯失生命的意義。人活一世要為這個世界增光添彩，切莫庸碌無為，枉度此生。
Leading a Rich Life
富足的人生
美國第一夫人米歇爾·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、事事順心之時能取得什么成就，而是當(dāng)生活把你打倒在地，當(dāng)你所有的計劃都化為泡影的時候，在最黑暗的時刻，看你作出什么樣的選擇。是沉溺在失去的痛苦中無法自拔，還是把握擁有的一切，以飽滿的熱情，堅毅的決心，滿懷喜悅地開創(chuàng)前進的道路？
