你的瑕疵，成就獨(dú)特的你
sometimes your insecurities and you"re ine_perienced may lead you to embrace other people"s e_pectations, standards or values.
有時(shí)因?yàn)槟闳狈Π踩?，缺乏?jīng)驗(yàn)，你會(huì)很容易接受別人的期望，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)或價(jià)值觀。
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，你可以利用你在經(jīng)驗(yàn)上的缺乏，造就你自己的路，不用去擔(dān)心事情應(yīng)該怎么做，只需依據(jù)自己的思考來定義這條路。
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.
我很早就學(xué)到，我的價(jià)值應(yīng)該來自于電影拍攝過程的體驗(yàn)，來自觸碰人心的可能，而不是我們行業(yè)最首要的榮譽(yù)：商業(yè)和影評(píng)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，也將會(huì)完全屬于你自己。

各位親愛的校領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，天使般慈祥的老師，含苞待放的學(xué)子們：
大家上午好。
今天我以一個(gè)初三畢業(yè)生和學(xué)生會(huì)副主席的身份，做在兆麟初級(jí)中學(xué)最后的演講。三年了，初中的生活結(jié)束了，三年的生活如刀如風(fēng)如劍，來也匆匆，去也匆匆，時(shí)光悠悠，歲月悠悠。三年的生活中，你可能痛悲自己，痛心自己，痛恨自己，也可能怨老師，愛老師，狠老師，這些生活的點(diǎn)滴，將揮之而去，成為我們的記憶。我們看到凱哥正襟危坐，忙碌中透著愛護(hù)，葛老西服革履，冷漠中透著關(guān)懷。盛夏的清風(fēng)像一壇老酒把麟園的樹，麟園的人灌得有些微醉，今天我們將邁著小醉步，拿著信念這張舊船票，登上中考的客船。
我們擁有的是青春，我們應(yīng)敢于去奮斗，青春是夢(mèng)的起點(diǎn)，在走過之后，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)我的未來不是夢(mèng)；青春是人的本錢，走過之后，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)成熟的你將會(huì)不差錢；青春是生命的站臺(tái)，走過之后，追夢(mèng)的心將駛向下一站。人生也不就是個(gè)，山外青山樓外樓，生活富裕且自由。曾經(jīng)我們追逐瘋鬧，群架斗毆，如今當(dāng)知敢于面對(duì)，曾經(jīng)不解世事，吃喝享樂，如今應(yīng)針氈為椅，亂石鋪路，安然不動(dòng)。揮筆題字已不再狂草傲視，大筆一揮，而是小楷一抹，精雕細(xì)琢，真正體味顏筋柳骨，畢竟我們長大了！
當(dāng)我們多年之后再相見，回眸一笑，云龍兄別來無恙；朝花夕拾，云飛兄再續(xù)前緣。希望我們每個(gè)人都擁有快樂的生活，溫情的笑，苦澀的笑，仰天長笑，我自橫刀上天笑。我們的心在跳，血再燒，來吧，讓我們追逐怒放的生命，最后祝麟園的明天更加燦爛輝煌。

譯文
首先，我們要培養(yǎng)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣。讓學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)中去尋找歡樂，在歡樂中找到興趣，在興趣中下決心，在決心中培養(yǎng)毅力，即動(dòng)因+興趣+決心+持之以恒=成績(jī)。當(dāng)然開始學(xué)英語時(shí)不要追求太高，太難。指導(dǎo)學(xué)生從簡(jiǎn)單的，有趣的，好笑的開始使學(xué)生找出適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)興趣。同時(shí)引導(dǎo)他們"from easy to difficult."。并允許學(xué)生出錯(cuò)，不要追求每個(gè)單詞都正確。，
其次，學(xué)生有了興趣，幫助他們制定計(jì)劃。每天看英語材料和聽英語廣播，尋找學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境，生活范圍有多大，學(xué)英語的天地就有多寬廣，利用一切機(jī)會(huì)去接觸英語。在課堂上讓學(xué)生試著講英語，平時(shí)同學(xué)之間交流時(shí)多用英語，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生不要怕出錯(cuò)，錯(cuò)了沒關(guān)系。同時(shí)要建立每周學(xué)習(xí)生詞的目標(biāo)，在記錄詞匯本里，記錄各種各樣的生詞，短語。因?yàn)閷W(xué)好英語必須要有詞匯作基礎(chǔ)，要打持久戰(zhàn)；記單詞要打游擊戰(zhàn)。就能做到"from little to more"。
學(xué)英語如同交朋友，在不同的場(chǎng)合接觸就可能記牢，不能孤立的記單詞，要記住它的左鄰右舍。同時(shí)很有必要指導(dǎo)學(xué)生大量的閱讀，這對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)英語有是非常重要的，多了解西方文化，學(xué)習(xí)西方習(xí)慣，掌握大量的語言背景是學(xué)習(xí)的又一條重要途徑。那么就達(dá)到from chinese to english。我們最終要達(dá)到目的 "from english to english ，from english to chinese "
最后，讓學(xué)生在苦中享受歡樂，越學(xué)越有趣，從被動(dòng)變主動(dòng)，從要我學(xué)變?yōu)槲乙獙W(xué).

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.

尊敬的bok校長，rudenstine前校長，即將上任的faust校長，哈佛集團(tuán)的各位成員，監(jiān)管理事會(huì)的各位理事，各位老師，各位家長，各位同學(xué)：
i"ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: "dad, i always told you i"d come back and get my degree."
有一句話我等了三十年，現(xiàn)在終于可以說了：“老爸，我總是跟你說，我會(huì)回來拿到我的學(xué)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.
我要感謝哈佛大學(xué)在這個(gè)時(shí)候給我這個(gè)榮譽(yù)。明年，我就要換工作了(注：指從微軟公司退休)……我終于可以在簡(jiǎn)歷上寫我有一個(gè)本科學(xué)位，這真是不錯(cuò)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.
我為今天在座的各位同學(xué)感到高興，你們拿到學(xué)位可比我簡(jiǎn)單多了。哈佛的校報(bào)稱我是“哈佛大學(xué)歷史上最成功的輟學(xué)生”。我想這大概使我有資格代表我這一類學(xué)生發(fā)言……在所有的失敗者里，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，我還要提醒大家，我使得steve ballmer(注：微軟總經(jīng)理)也從哈佛商學(xué)院退學(xué)了。因此，我是個(gè)有著惡劣影響力的人。這就是為什么我被邀請(qǐng)來在你們的畢業(yè)典禮上演講。如果我在你們?nèi)雽W(xué)歡迎儀式上演講，那么能夠堅(jiān)持到今天在這里畢業(yè)的人也許會(huì)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.
對(duì)我來說，哈佛的求學(xué)經(jīng)歷是一段非凡的經(jīng)歷。校園生活很有趣，我常去旁聽我沒選修的課。哈佛的課外生活也很棒，我在radcliffe過著逍遙自在的日子。每天我的寢室里總有很多人一直待到半夜，討論著各種事情。因?yàn)槊總€(gè)人都知道我從不考慮第二天早起。這使得我變成了校園里那些不安分學(xué)生的頭頭，我們互相粘在一起，做出一種拒絕所有正常學(xué)生的姿態(tài)。
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是個(gè)過日子的好地方。那里的女生比男生多，而且大多數(shù)男生都是理工科的。這種狀況為我創(chuàng)造了最好的機(jī)會(huì)，如果你們明白我的意思?？上У氖牵艺窃谶@里學(xué)到了人生中悲傷的一課：機(jī)會(huì)大，并不等于你就會(huì)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.
我在哈佛最難忘的回憶之一，發(fā)生在1975年1月。那時(shí)，我從宿舍樓里給位于albuquerque的一家公司打了一個(gè)電話，那家公司已經(jīng)在著手制造世界上第一臺(tái)個(gè)人電腦。我提出想向他們出售軟件。
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.
我很擔(dān)心，他們會(huì)發(fā)覺我是一個(gè)住在宿舍的學(xué)生，從而掛斷電話。但是他們卻說：“我們還沒準(zhǔn)備好，一個(gè)月后你再來找我們吧。”這是個(gè)好消息，因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)軟件還根本沒有寫出來呢。就是從那個(gè)時(shí)候起，我日以繼夜地在這個(gè)小小的課外項(xiàng)目上工作，這導(dǎo)致了我學(xué)生生活的結(jié)束，以及通往微軟公司的不平凡的旅程的開始。
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.
不管怎樣，我對(duì)哈佛的回憶主要都與充沛的精力和智力活動(dòng)有關(guān)。哈佛的生活令人愉快，也令人感到有壓力，有時(shí)甚至?xí)械叫箽?，但永遠(yuǎn)充滿了挑戰(zhàn)性。生活在哈佛是一種吸引人的特殊待遇……雖然我離開得比較早，但是我在這里的經(jīng)歷、在這里結(jié)識(shí)的朋友、在這里發(fā)展起來的一些想法，永遠(yuǎn)地改變了我。
but taking a serious look back…i do have one big regret.
但是，如果現(xiàn)在嚴(yán)肅地回憶起來，我確實(shí)有一個(gè)真正的遺憾。
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.
我離開哈佛的時(shí)候，根本沒有意識(shí)到這個(gè)世界是多么的不平等。人類在健康、財(cái)富和機(jī)遇上的不平等大得可怕，它們使得無數(shù)的人們被迫生活在絕望之中。
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.
我離開校園的時(shí)候，根本不知道在這個(gè)國家里，有幾百萬的年輕人無法獲得接受教育的機(jī)會(huì)。我也不知道，發(fā)展中國家里有無數(shù)的人們生活在無法形容的貧窮和疾病之中。
it took me decades to find out.
我花了幾十年才明白了這些事情。
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.
在座的各位同學(xué)，你們是在與我不同的時(shí)代來到哈佛的。你們比以前的學(xué)生，更多地了解世界是怎樣的不平等。在你們的哈佛求學(xué)過程中，我希望你們已經(jīng)思考過一個(gè)問題，那就是在這個(gè)新技術(shù)加速發(fā)展的時(shí)代，我們?cè)鯓幼罱K應(yīng)對(duì)這種不平等，以及我們?cè)鯓觼斫鉀Q這個(gè)問題。
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?
為了討論的方便，請(qǐng)想象一下，假如你每個(gè)星期可以捐獻(xiàn)一些時(shí)間、每個(gè)月可以捐獻(xiàn)一些錢——你希望這些時(shí)間和金錢，可以用到對(duì)拯救生命和改善人類生活有最大作用的地方。你會(huì)選擇什么地方?
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.
對(duì)melinda(注：蓋茨的妻子)和我來說，這也是我們面臨的問題：我們?nèi)绾文軐⑽覀儞碛械馁Y源發(fā)揮出最大的作用。
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.
在討論過程中，melinda和我讀到了文章，里面說在那些貧窮的國家，每年有數(shù)百萬的兒童死于那些在美國早已不成問題的疾病。麻疹、瘧疾、肺炎、乙型肝炎、黃熱病、還有一種以前我從未聽說過的輪狀病毒，這些疾病每年導(dǎo)致50萬兒童死亡，但是在美國一例死亡病例也沒有。
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.
我們被震驚了。我們想，如果幾百萬兒童正在死亡線上掙扎，而且他們是可以被挽救的，那么世界理應(yīng)將用藥物拯救他們作為頭等大事。但是事實(shí)并非如此。那些價(jià)格還不到一美元的救命的藥劑，并沒有送到他們的手中。
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."
如果你相信每個(gè)生命都是平等的，那么當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)某些生命被挽救了，而另一些生命被放棄了，你會(huì)感到無法接受。我們對(duì)自己說：“事情不可能如此。如果這是真的，那么它理應(yīng)是我們努力的頭等大事。”
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，我們用任何人都會(huì)想到的方式開始工作。我們問：“這個(gè)世界怎么可以眼睜睜看著這些孩子死去?”
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.
答案很簡(jiǎn)單，也很令人難堪。在市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)中，拯救兒童是一項(xiàng)沒有利潤的工作，政府也不會(huì)提供補(bǔ)助。這些兒童之所以會(huì)死亡，是因?yàn)樗麄兊母改冈诮?jīng)濟(jì)上沒有實(shí)力，在政治上沒有能力發(fā)出聲音。
but you and i have both.
但是，你們和我在經(jīng)濟(jì)上有實(shí)力，在政治上能夠發(fā)出聲音。
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.
我們可以讓市場(chǎng)更好地為窮人服務(wù)，如果我們能夠設(shè)計(jì)出一種更有創(chuàng)新性的資本主義制度——如果我們可以改變市場(chǎng)，讓更多的人可以獲得利潤，或者至少可以維持生活——那么，這就可以幫到那些正在極端不平等的狀況中受苦的人們。我們還可以向全世界的政府施壓，要求他們將納稅人的錢，花到更符合納稅人價(jià)值觀的地方。
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.
如果我們能夠找到這樣一種方法，既可以幫到窮人，又可以為商人帶來利潤，為政治家?guī)磉x票，那么我們就找到了一種減少世界性不平等的可持續(xù)的發(fā)展道路。這個(gè)任務(wù)是無限的。它不可能被完全完成，但是任何自覺地解決這個(gè)問題的嘗試，都將會(huì)改變這個(gè)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.
在這個(gè)問題上，我是樂觀的。但是，我也遇到過那些感到絕望的懷疑主義者。他們說：“不平等從人類誕生的第一天就存在，到人類滅亡的最后一天也將存在。——因?yàn)槿祟悓?duì)這個(gè)問題根本不在乎。”我完全不能同意這種觀點(diǎn)。
i believe we have more caring than we know what to do with.
我相信，問題不是我們不在乎，而是我們不知道怎么做。
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.
此刻在這個(gè)院子里的所有人，生命中總有這樣或那樣的時(shí)刻，目睹人類的悲劇，感到萬分傷心。但是我們什么也沒做，并非我們無動(dòng)于衷，而是因?yàn)槲覀儾恢雷鍪裁春驮趺醋?。如果我們知道如何做是有效的，那么我們就?huì)采取行動(dòng)。
the barrier to change is not too little caring; it is too much comple_ity.
改變世界的阻礙，并非人類的冷漠，而是世界實(shí)在太復(fù)雜。
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.
為了將關(guān)心轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)樾袆?dòng)，我們需要找到問題，發(fā)現(xiàn)解決辦法的方法以及評(píng)估后果。但是世界的復(fù)雜性使得這三步都難于做到。
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.
就算我們真正發(fā)現(xiàn)了問題所在，也不過是邁出了第一步，接著還有第二步：那就是從復(fù)雜的事件中找到解決辦法。
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.
如果我們要讓關(guān)心落到實(shí)處，我們就必須找到解決辦法。如果我們有一個(gè)清晰的和可靠的答案，那么當(dāng)任何組織和個(gè)人發(fā)出疑問“如何我能提供幫助”的時(shí)候，我們就能采取行動(dòng)。我們就能夠保證不浪費(fèi)一丁點(diǎn)全世界人類對(duì)他人的關(guān)心。但是，世界的復(fù)雜性使得很難找到對(duì)全世界每一個(gè)有愛心的人都有效的行動(dòng)方法，因此人類對(duì)他人的關(guān)心往往很難產(chǎn)生實(shí)際效果。
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.
從這個(gè)復(fù)雜的世界中找到解決辦法，可以分為四個(gè)步驟：確定目標(biāo)，找到最高效的方法，發(fā)現(xiàn)適用于這個(gè)方法的新技術(shù)，同時(shí)最聰明地利用現(xiàn)有的技術(shù)，不管它是復(fù)雜的藥物，還是最簡(jiǎn)單的蚊帳。
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.
艾滋病就是一個(gè)例子。總的目標(biāo)，毫無疑問是消滅這種疾病。最高效的方法是預(yù)防。最理想的技術(shù)是發(fā)明一種疫苗，只要注射一次，就可以終生免疫。所以，政府、制藥公司、基金會(huì)應(yīng)該資助疫苗研究。但是，這樣研究工作很可能十年之內(nèi)都無法完成。因此，與此同時(shí)，我們必須使用現(xiàn)有的技術(shù)，目前最有效的預(yù)防方法就是設(shè)法讓人們避免那些危險(xiǎn)的行為。
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.
要實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)新的目標(biāo)，又可以采用新的四步循環(huán)。這是一種模式。關(guān)鍵的東西是永遠(yuǎn)不要停止思考和行動(dòng)。我們千萬不能再犯上個(gè)世紀(jì)在瘧疾和肺結(jié)核上犯過的錯(cuò)誤，那時(shí)我們因?yàn)樗鼈兲珡?fù)雜，而放棄了采取行動(dòng)。
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.
在發(fā)現(xiàn)問題和找到解決方法之后，就是最后一步——評(píng)估工作結(jié)果，將你的成功經(jīng)驗(yàn)或者失敗經(jīng)驗(yàn)傳播出去，這樣其他人就可以從你的努力中有所收獲。
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.
當(dāng)然，你必須有一些統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字。你必須讓他人知道，你的項(xiàng)目為幾百萬兒童新接種了疫苗。你也必須讓他人知道，兒童死亡人數(shù)下降了多少。這些都是很關(guān)鍵的，不僅有利于改善項(xiàng)目效果，也有利于從商界和政府得到更多的幫助。
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，這些還不夠，如果你想激勵(lì)其他人參加你的項(xiàng)目，你就必須拿出更多的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字;你必須展示你的項(xiàng)目的人性因素，這樣其他人就會(huì)感到拯救一個(gè)生命，對(duì)那些處在困境中的家庭到底意味著什么。
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.
這個(gè)時(shí)代無時(shí)無刻不在涌現(xiàn)出新的革新——生物技術(shù)，計(jì)算機(jī)，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)——它們給了我們一個(gè)從未有過的機(jī)會(huì)，去終結(jié)那些極端的貧窮和非惡性疾病的死亡。
the emergence of low-cost personal computers gave rise to a powerful network that has transformed opportunities for learning and communicating.
低成本的個(gè)人電腦的出現(xiàn)，使得一個(gè)強(qiáng)大的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)有機(jī)會(huì)誕生，它為學(xué)習(xí)和交流提供了巨大的機(jī)會(huì)。
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.
網(wǎng)絡(luò)的神奇之處，不僅僅是它縮短了物理距離，使得天涯若比鄰。它還極大地增加了懷有共同想法的人們聚集在一起的機(jī)會(huì)，我們可以為了解決同一個(gè)問題，一起共同工作。這就大大加快了革新的進(jìn)程，發(fā)展速度簡(jiǎn)直快得讓人震驚。
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.
與此同時(shí)，世界上有條件上網(wǎng)的人，只是全部人口的六分之一。這意味著，還有許多具有創(chuàng)造性的人們，沒有加入到我們的討論中來。那些有著實(shí)際的操作經(jīng)驗(yàn)和相關(guān)經(jīng)歷的聰明人，卻沒有技術(shù)來幫助他們，將他們的天賦或者想法與全世界分享。
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.
我們需要盡可能地讓更多的人有機(jī)會(huì)使用新技術(shù)，因?yàn)檫@些新技術(shù)正在引發(fā)一場(chǎng)革命，人類將因此可以互相幫助。新技術(shù)正在創(chuàng)造一種可能，不僅是政府，還包括大學(xué)、公司、小機(jī)構(gòu)、甚至個(gè)人，能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)問題所在、能夠找到解決辦法、能夠評(píng)估他們努力的效果，去改變那些馬歇爾六十年前就說到過的問題——饑餓、貧窮和絕望。
members of the harvard family: here in the yard is one of the great collections of intellectual talent in the world.
哈佛是一個(gè)大家庭。這個(gè)院子里在場(chǎng)的人們，是全世界最有智力的人類群體之一。
what for?
我們可以做些什么?
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?
毫無疑問，哈佛的老師、校友、學(xué)生和資助者，已經(jīng)用他們的能力改善了全世界各地人們的生活。但是，我們還能夠再做什么呢?有沒有可能，哈佛的人們可以將他們的智慧，用來幫助那些甚至從來沒有聽到過“哈佛”這個(gè)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:
請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我向各位院長和教授，提出一個(gè)請(qǐng)求——你們是哈佛的智力領(lǐng)袖，當(dāng)你們雇用新的老師、授予終身教職、評(píng)估課程、決定學(xué)位頒發(fā)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)問你們自己如下的問題：
should our best minds be dedicated to solving our biggest problems?
我們最優(yōu)秀的人才是否在致力于解決我們最大的問題?
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?
哈佛是否鼓勵(lì)她的老師去研究解決世界上最嚴(yán)重的不平等?哈佛的學(xué)生是否從全球那些極端的貧窮中學(xué)到了什么……世界性的饑荒……清潔的水資源的缺乏……無法上學(xué)的女童……死于非惡性疾病的兒童……哈佛的學(xué)生有沒有從中學(xué)到東西?
should the world"s most privileged people learn about the lives of the world"s least privileged?
那些世界上過著最優(yōu)越生活的人們，有沒有從那些最困難的人們身上學(xué)到東西?
these are not rhetorical questions--you will answer with your policies.
這些問題并非語言上的修辭。你必須用自己的行動(dòng)來回答它們。
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，我們?cè)谶@個(gè)院子里的這些人，被給予過什么——天賦、特權(quán)、機(jī)遇——那么可以這樣說，全世界的人們幾乎有無限的權(quán)力，期待我們做出貢獻(xiàn)。
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.
同這個(gè)時(shí)代的期望一樣，我也要向今天各位畢業(yè)的同學(xué)提出一個(gè)忠告：你們要選擇一個(gè)問題，一個(gè)復(fù)雜的問題，一個(gè)有關(guān)于人類深刻的不平等的問題，然后你們要變成這個(gè)問題的專家。如果你們能夠使得這個(gè)問題成為你們職業(yè)的核心，那么你們就會(huì)非常杰出。但是，你們不必一定要去做那些大事。每個(gè)星期只用幾個(gè)小時(shí)，你就可以通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)得到信息，找到志同道合的朋友，發(fā)現(xiàn)困難所在，找到解決它們的途徑。
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.
不要讓這個(gè)世界的復(fù)雜性阻礙你前進(jìn)。要成為一個(gè)行動(dòng)主義者。將解決人類的不平等視為己任。它將成為你生命中最重要的經(jīng)歷之一。
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.
在座的各位畢業(yè)的同學(xué)，你們所處的時(shí)代是一個(gè)神奇的時(shí)代。當(dāng)你們離開哈佛的時(shí)候，你們擁有的技術(shù)，是我們那一屆學(xué)生所沒有的。你們已經(jīng)了解到了世界上的不平等，我們那時(shí)還不知道這些。有了這樣的了解之后，要是你再棄那些你可以幫助的人們于不顧，就將受到良心的譴責(zé)，只需一點(diǎn)小小的努力，你就可以改變那些人們的生活。你們比我們擁有更大的能力;你們必須盡早開始，盡可能長時(shí)期堅(jiān)持下去。
knowing what you know, how could you not?
知道了你們所知道的一切，你們?cè)趺纯赡懿徊扇⌒袆?dòng)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年后你們還會(huì)再回到哈佛，想起你們用自己的天賦和能力所做出的一切。我希望，在那個(gè)時(shí)候，你們用來評(píng)價(jià)自己的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，不僅僅是你們的專業(yè)成就，而包括你們?yōu)楦淖冞@個(gè)世界深刻的不平等所做出的努力，以及你們?nèi)绾紊拼切┻h(yuǎn)隔千山萬水、與你們毫不涉及的人們，你們與他們唯一的共同點(diǎn)就是同為人類。
good luck.
祝各位好運(yùn)。

首先，我們要培養(yǎng)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣。讓學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)中去尋找歡樂，在歡樂中找到興趣，在興趣中下決心，在決心中培養(yǎng)毅力，即動(dòng)因 興趣 決心 持之以恒=成績(jī)。當(dāng)然開始學(xué)英語時(shí)不要追求太高，太難。指導(dǎo)學(xué)生從簡(jiǎn)單的，有趣的，好笑的開始使學(xué)生找出適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)興趣。同時(shí)引導(dǎo)他們“from easy to difficult.”。并允許學(xué)生出錯(cuò)，不要追求每個(gè)單詞都正確。，
其次，學(xué)生有了興趣，幫助他們制定計(jì)劃。每天看英語材料和聽英語廣播，尋找學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境，生活范圍有多大，學(xué)英語的天地就有多寬廣，利用一切機(jī)會(huì)去接觸英語。在課堂上讓學(xué)生試著講英語，平時(shí)同學(xué)之間交流時(shí)多用英語，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生不要怕出錯(cuò)，錯(cuò)了沒關(guān)系。同時(shí)要建立每周學(xué)習(xí)生詞的目標(biāo)，在記錄詞匯本里，記錄各種各樣的生詞，短語。因?yàn)閷W(xué)好英語必須要有詞匯作基礎(chǔ)，要打持久戰(zhàn);記單詞要打游擊戰(zhàn)。就能做到“from little to more”。
學(xué)英語如同交朋友，在不同的場(chǎng)合接觸就可能記牢，不能孤立的記單詞，要記住它的左鄰右舍。同時(shí)很有必要指導(dǎo)學(xué)生大量的閱讀，這對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)英語有是非常重要的，多了解西方文化，學(xué)習(xí)西方習(xí)慣，掌握大量的語言背景是學(xué)習(xí)的又一條重要途徑。那么就達(dá)到from chinese to english。我們最終要達(dá)到目的 “from english to english ，from english to chinese ”
最后，讓學(xué)生在苦中享受歡樂，越學(xué)越有趣，從被動(dòng)變主動(dòng)，從要我學(xué)變?yōu)槲乙獙W(xué).

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.最新初三畢業(yè)英語演講稿
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!最新初三畢業(yè)英語演講稿

感謝所有2024屆的畢業(yè)生，我知道你們絕大多數(shù)人還因?yàn)樗拮眍^痛欲裂，狂歡到今天都還沒睡，但是沒聽完我的演講不能畢業(yè)，所以都聽好了!(學(xué)生們歡呼)
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.
當(dāng)我被問是否來參加畢業(yè)典禮演講的時(shí)候，我立刻就回答了：yes!……然后我才去查“畢業(yè)典禮”是什么意思(眾人笑)。如果我有字典的話就輕松多了，但我家的書大多是portia的(ellen的妻子，澳大利亞人)而且都是澳洲文(眾人笑)，所以……我得自己摸索，去找出這個(gè)詞的意思。
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畢業(yè)典禮”：commen常見的+cement水泥，常見的水泥(眾人大笑)你常常見到水泥，在人行道上，人行道有裂縫，你要是踩到裂縫，就會(huì)撞傷你媽媽的背(大家笑)，所以大概意思就是這樣了(笑聲)
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.
但我很榮幸被邀請(qǐng)來做你們的“常見的水泥”的演講。我以為非得是又有名，又是你們學(xué)校的校友才能來……我沒有在這里念過大學(xué)，我不知校長先生是否知道，我完全沒上過大學(xué)…任何一間大學(xué)!我倒不是在說你們?cè)诶速M(fèi)時(shí)間和金錢，不過看看我，我是個(gè)超級(jí)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 (? 估計(jì)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.
事實(shí)上我在這里度過許多成長的歲月，我媽媽在這里工作時(shí)，我常來找她……每當(dāng)我要偷她錢包里的錢時(shí)(大家笑)。但我今天在這里的原因，顯然不是要偷你們的錢……
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.
我在這里是因?yàn)槟銈?，因?yàn)闆]有比你們更優(yōu)秀更勇敢的畢業(yè)生了。看看你們每一個(gè)人，身穿你們的袍子(學(xué)士袍)，通常我們說在早上10點(diǎn)還穿著袍子(睡袍)代表你放棄人生了(大家大笑)。我在這里，因?yàn)槲覑奂~奧良，我在這里出生成長，在此度過少年時(shí)光，正如你們一樣，當(dāng)我住這里時(shí)，我只洗過6次衣服(眾人笑)。
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?
當(dāng)我從學(xué)校畢業(yè)的時(shí)候，我完完全全迷失了自我，學(xué)校我指的是初中(大家笑)，后來我也繼續(xù)念完了高中。我當(dāng)時(shí)，沒有任何的野心，不知道自己想做什么。我什么工作都做，我挖生蠔，當(dāng)帶位員，做酒保，當(dāng)服務(wù)生，粉刷房子，賣吸塵器……完全不知道自己想做什么。我只想隨便找個(gè)糊口的工作，過一輩子，能有錢負(fù)得起房租就行，我完全沒有任何計(jì)劃。我想說的是，當(dāng)我像你們這么大的時(shí)候，我真的以為我了解自己，但其實(shí)我并不了解，舉例來說，我像你們這么大的時(shí)候，還在和男人約會(huì)(大家大笑)。所以我的意思是：當(dāng)你們?cè)匍L大些后，大多數(shù)的人，都會(huì)是gay!(場(chǎng)內(nèi)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.
總之，當(dāng)時(shí)我不知道我的人生要干嘛，而最后我找到了我人生目標(biāo)，卻是因?yàn)橐患直瘧K的事。我那時(shí)可能才19歲，當(dāng)時(shí)的女朋友因?yàn)檐嚨溕硗隽恕Ｎ医?jīng)過了事故現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，并不知道是她，還繼續(xù)往前走。不久后，才知道那是她。我當(dāng)時(shí)……住在地下室的公寓，沒有錢，沒有暖氣，房子里都是跳蚤。我困惑不已，心想，為何她突然走了，而為何我又呆再這樣一個(gè)境地里。我無法理解，但其中一定有什么理由。要是能直接拿起電話打給上帝問個(gè)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.
于是我開始寫一些東西，心里涌現(xiàn)出一段我和上帝的對(duì)話，雖然只是我一個(gè)人的獨(dú)白。當(dāng)我完成了它后，我閱讀了這個(gè)劇本，對(duì)自己說，我說我要在“今夜秀”上和強(qiáng)尼.卡森一起表演這一段。強(qiáng)尼.卡森是當(dāng)時(shí)主持屆的天王，我對(duì)自己說我要成為該節(jié)目史上第一個(gè)被邀請(qǐng)和強(qiáng)尼一起坐下來訪問的女性。數(shù)年之后，我成為這個(gè)節(jié)目史上，第一位也是唯一一位，被邀請(qǐng)坐下來和他訪問的女性。就因?yàn)槟嵌挝覍懙暮蜕系鄞螂娫挼膭”尽?/p>
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.
從此我開始做單人脫口秀，做得很成功，也很辛苦，因?yàn)槲蚁胗懞妹恳粋€(gè)人，同時(shí)又守著我身為同性戀的秘密。我想人們要是發(fā)現(xiàn)了，就不會(huì)喜歡我了。
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.
后來我又有了自己的喜劇，也很成功，更進(jìn)一步的成功。我于是更擔(dān)心，要是別人發(fā)現(xiàn)了怎么辦，是不是就不會(huì)看我的節(jié)目了?這都是很久以前的事了，你們可能不知道，那都是我們的總統(tǒng)還都是白人時(shí)候的事了(大家大笑)。最終我還是決定……我一直帶著羞恥和恐懼而活，我再也不能像那樣活下去了，于是我決定讓劇中的主角和我自己同時(shí)出柜。不是為了什么政治原因或是其他，只是為了讓我從一個(gè)背負(fù)已久的沉重枷鎖中釋放出來，我只是想要……誠實(shí)!我想不會(huì)有更慘的事發(fā)生了，難道會(huì)失去我的演藝事業(yè)嗎?結(jié)果，我真的失去了。我的節(jié)目在做了6年后，沒有告知我就停播了，我讀了報(bào)紙才知道。家中的電話三年沒有再響過，沒人愿意找我做節(jié)目，沒人愿意碰我。
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殺的同性戀孩子的來信，他們因?yàn)槲业某龉穸罱K沒有自殺，我才了解到，我在這個(gè)世上是有目的的。那曾是一段痛苦的日子，我很憤世嫉俗，很難過。后來有人找我做脫口秀(今天的ellenshow)，制作公司想要賣出節(jié)目，但是大多數(shù)電視臺(tái)都不愿意買。
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.
當(dāng)我回想起這些往事的時(shí)候，我一點(diǎn)也不想去改變什么，即使失去一切。因?yàn)槲乙庾R(shí)到，最重要的事是，對(duì)自己誠實(shí)。我的選擇令我在今天能活得自在，沒有恐懼和秘密。我知道一切都是ok的，因?yàn)闊o論如何，我知道自己是誰。
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，這是不是結(jié)論的結(jié)論，當(dāng)我年輕時(shí)，對(duì)成功的定義不同，我想我的志愿是：我想出名，想當(dāng)明星，拍電影，我想要去看世界，開名車，有一群死黨……(ellen這段說的很溜，大家反應(yīng)過來其實(shí)這是小野貓的一首歌的歌詞，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.
但今日我對(duì)成功的定義變了，當(dāng)你長大，你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這點(diǎn)。對(duì)你們中的很多人來說，成功的定義是能灌下20杯龍舌蘭酒(大家笑)。對(duì)我來說，生命中最重要的事是：活得誠實(shí)!別逼自己去做不是真正的你，要活得正直，有憐憫之心，在某些方面有所貢獻(xiàn)。
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，這是結(jié)論的結(jié)論(眾人笑)：追隨熱情，忠于自我，絕不要追隨別人的腳步，除非你在森林里迷路了才要這么做(大家笑)。別給人忠告，別接受任何人的忠告。所以…我要給大家的忠告是(大家大笑)：做真實(shí)的你，一切都會(huì)沒事的。
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擔(dān)心自己的前途，但不用擔(dān)心，經(jīng)濟(jì)正急速增長，就業(yè)市場(chǎng)求才若渴(大家大笑)，地球也好的很!(大家笑)一切都會(huì)好的，你們都經(jīng)歷過風(fēng)災(zāi)了，還有什么可怕的?如我以前所說的：最慘痛的事教會(huì)你最多。比如現(xiàn)在你第一次面試，就知道該問考官什么了，例如“公司高于海平面嗎?”(大家大笑，紐奧良因地勢(shì)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……總結(jié)一下我剛才做的我的“常見的水泥”演講的結(jié)論(大家笑)，我猜我想說的是，人生猶如一場(chǎng)狂歡嘉年華，記得展現(xiàn)你的頭腦，而不是胸部。……2024年的畢業(yè)生們，我說祝賀大家了!若你不記得我今天說的任何話，就請(qǐng)記住這一句：you’re going to be ok，dun-doom-doom-doom(大家愣)，just dance!(所有人大笑歡呼)
