大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮英語演講稿
Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a ood look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude.
"In fact, as I look out before me today, I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers.
"You're upset. That's understandable. After all, how can I, Lawrence 'Larry' Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.
"Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college ropout, and you are not.
"Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.
"And for good measure, because Michael Dell, No. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.
"Hmm . . . you're very upset. That's understandable. So let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. You've established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy.' All that of is good. For in truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy.
"You will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to No. 10 or No. 11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I don't have to tell you who he really works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer.
"Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, 'Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all?' Actually, no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap, and I'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.
"Hmm... you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of '00. You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.
"Instead, I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I can't stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. Drop out. Start up.
"For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . ."
(At this point The Oracle CEO was ushered off stage.)
【中文譯文】：
耶魯?shù)漠厴I(yè)生們，我很抱歉——如果你們不喜歡這樣的開場。我想請你們?yōu)槲易鲆患�。請�?--好好看一看周圍，看一看站在你左邊的同學(xué)，看一看站在你右邊的同學(xué)。
請你設(shè)想這樣的情況：從現(xiàn)在起5年之后，2019年之后，或30年之后，今天站在你左邊的這個人會是一個失敗者;右邊的這個人，同樣，也是個失敗者。而你，站在中間的家伙，你以為會怎樣?一樣是失敗者。失敗的經(jīng)歷。失敗的優(yōu)等生。
說實(shí)話，今天我站在這里，并沒有看到一千個畢業(yè)生的燦爛未來。我沒有看到一千個行業(yè)的一千名卓越領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，我只看到了一千個失敗者。你們感到沮喪，這是可以理解的。為什么，我，埃里森，一個退學(xué)生，竟然在美國最具聲望的學(xué)府里這樣厚顏地散布異端?我來告訴你原因。因?yàn)椋�，埃里森，這個行星上第二富有的人，是個退學(xué)生，而你不是。因?yàn)楸葼?蓋茨，這個行星上最富有的人——就目前而言---是個退學(xué)生，而你不是。因?yàn)榘瑐悾@個行星上第三富有的人，也退了學(xué)，而你沒有。再來一點(diǎn)證據(jù)吧，因?yàn)榇鳡�，這個行星上第九富有的人——他的排位還在不斷上升，也是個退學(xué)生。而你，不是。
......你們非常沮喪，這是可以理解的。
你們將來需要這些有用的工作習(xí)慣。你將來需要這種'治療'。你需要它們，因?yàn)槟銢]輟學(xué)，所以你永遠(yuǎn)不會成為世界上最富有的人。哦，當(dāng)然，你可以，也許，以你的方式進(jìn)步到第10位，第11位，就像Steve。但，我沒有告訴你他在為誰工作，是吧?
根據(jù)記載，他是研究生時(shí)輟的學(xué)，開化得稍晚了些。
現(xiàn)在，我猜想你們中間很多人，也許是絕大多數(shù)人，正在琢磨，'我能做什么? 我究竟有沒有前途?'當(dāng)然沒有。太晚了，你們已經(jīng)吸收了太多東西，以為自己懂得太多。你們再也不是19歲了。你們有了'內(nèi)置'的帽子，哦，我指的可不是你們腦袋上的學(xué)位帽。
嗯......你們已經(jīng)非常沮喪啦。這是可以理解的。所以，現(xiàn)在可能是討論實(shí)質(zhì)的時(shí)候啦——
絕不是為了你們，2019年畢業(yè)生。你們已經(jīng)被報(bào)銷，不予考慮了。我想，你們就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20萬的可憐工作吧，在那里，工資單是由你兩年前輟學(xué)的同班同學(xué)簽字開出來的。事實(shí)上，我是寄希望于眼下還沒有畢業(yè)的同學(xué)。我要對他們說，離開這里。收拾好你的東西，帶著你的點(diǎn)子，別再回來。退學(xué)吧，開始行動。
我要告訴你，一頂帽子一套學(xué)位服必然要讓你淪落......就像這些保安馬上要把我從這個講臺上攆走一樣必然......(此時(shí)，Larry被帶離了講臺)
畢業(yè)典禮英文演講稿范文
you all are leaving your alma mater now. i have no gift to present you all except a piece of advice.
what i would like to advise is that "don’t give up your study." most of the courses you have taken are partly for your certificate. you had no choice but to take them. from now on, you may study on your own. i would advise you to work hard at some special field when you are still young and vigorous. your youth will be gone that will never come back to you again. when you are old, and when your energy are getting poorer, you will not be able to as you wish to. even though you have to study in order to make a living, studies will never live up to you. making a living without studying, you will be shifted out in three or five years. at this time when you hope to make it up, you will say it is too late. perhaps you will say, "after graduation and going into the society, we will meet with an urgent problem, that is, to make a living. for this we have no time to study. even though we hope to study, we have no library nor labs, how can we study further?"畢業(yè)典禮英文演講稿
i would like to say that all those who wait to have a library will not study further even though they have one and all these who wait to have a lab will not do experiments even though they have one. when you have a firm resolution and determination to solve a problem, you will naturally economize on food and clothing.
as for time, i should say it’s not a problem. you may know that every day he could do only an hour work, not much more than that because darwin was ill for all his life. you must have read his achievements. every day you spend an hour in reading 10 useful pages, then you will read more than 3650 pages every year. in 30 years you will have read 110,000 pages.
my fellow students, reading 110,000 pages will make you a scholar. but it will take you an hour to read three kinds of small-sized newspapers and it will take you an hour and a half to play four rounds of mahjian pieces. reading small-sized newspapers or playing mahjian pieces, or working hard to be a scholar? it’s up to you all.
henrik ibsen said, "it is your greatest duty to make yourself out."
studying is then as tool as casting. giving up studying will destroy yourself.
i have to say goodbye to you all. your alma mater will open her eyes to see what you will be in 10 years. goodbye!
