美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席伯克南普林斯頓大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮演講稿中英雙語(yǔ)對(duì)照:
It's nice to be back at Princeton. I find it difficult to believe that it's been almost 11 years since I departed these halls for Washington. I wrote recently to inquire about the status of my leave from the university, and the letter I got back began, "Regrettably, Princeton receives many more qualified applicants for faculty positions than we can accommodate."重返普林斯頓感覺(jué)不錯(cuò),很難相信,我離開(kāi)校園赴華盛頓已經(jīng)11年了。近期我向校方詢問(wèn)了我的教職問(wèn)題,回信稱:“很遺憾,普林斯頓收到很多更有才華的學(xué)者的求職信,而教職有限!
I'll extend my best wishes to the seniors later, but first I want to congratulate the parents and families here. As a parent myself, I know that putting your kid through college these days is no walk in the park. Some years ago I had a colleague who sent three kids through Princeton even though neither he nor his wife attended this university. He and his spouse were very proud of that accomplishment, as they should have been. But my colleague also used to say that, from a financial perspective, the experience was like buying a new Cadillac every year and then driving it off a cliff. I should say that he always added that he would do it all over again in a minute. So, well done, moms, dads, and families.我將在稍后獻(xiàn)上對(duì)畢業(yè)生的最美好祝愿,首先我要恭喜在座的家長(zhǎng)們。作為父母,我知道這年頭供孩子讀完大學(xué)不容易,數(shù)年前,我的一個(gè)同事有3個(gè)孩子畢業(yè)于普林斯頓,盡管他們夫妻都不畢業(yè)于此,但我的同事常說(shuō),從財(cái)政角度講,這如同每年買輛卡迪拉克,然后讓車墜崖。他總會(huì)補(bǔ)充說(shuō),他會(huì)毫不猶豫的選擇重新來(lái)過(guò)。所以,感謝你們的工作,母親們,父親們,及家人們。
This is indeed an impressive and appropriate setting for a commencement. I am sure that, from this lectern, any number of distinguished spiritual leaders have ruminated on the lessons of the Ten Commandments. I don't have that kind of confidence, and, anyway, coveting your neighbor's ox or donkey is not the problem it used to be, so I thought I would use my few minutes today to make Ten Suggestions, or maybe just Ten Observations, about the world and your lives after Princeton. Please note, these points have nothing whatsoever to do with interest rates. My qualification for making such suggestions, or observations, besides having kindly been invited to speak today by President Tilghman, is the same as the reason that your obnoxious brother or sister got to go to bed later--I am older than you. All of what follows has been road-tested in real-life situations, but past performance is no guarantee of future results.這確實(shí)是做畢業(yè)典禮演講的合適場(chǎng)合,我認(rèn)為,在這一講臺(tái)上,每個(gè)精神導(dǎo)師都受到過(guò)“十誡”的教誨,我沒(méi)有那樣的信心,而且無(wú)論無(wú)何,覬覦鄰居的驢牛已不是目前的問(wèn)題,所以今年前幾分鐘我將提出“十個(gè)建議”,或稱為對(duì)這個(gè)世界和你們畢業(yè)后的生活的十個(gè)觀察。請(qǐng)注意,這十點(diǎn)與利率毫無(wú)關(guān)系。我之所以有資格提出這些建議和或觀察,除了普林斯頓的善意邀請(qǐng)外,理由和你們討厭的哥哥姐姐可以晚睡是一個(gè)道理:我比你們更老。以下內(nèi)容均經(jīng)受過(guò)生活的考驗(yàn),但以往表現(xiàn)并不能確保未來(lái)的結(jié)果。
1. The poet Robert Burns once said something about the best-laid plans of mice and men ganging aft agley, whatever "agley" means. A more contemporary philosopher, Forrest Gump, said something similar about life and boxes of chocolates and not knowing what you are going to get. They were both right. Life is amazingly unpredictable; any 22-year-old who thinks he or she knows where they will be in 10 years, much less in 30, is simply lacking imagination. Look what happened to me: A dozen years ago I was minding my own business teaching Economics 101 in Alexander Hall and trying to think of good excuses for avoiding faculty meetings. Then I got a phone call... In case you are skeptical of Forrest Gump's insight, here's a concrete suggestion for each of the graduating seniors. Take a few minutes the first chance you get and talk to an alum participating in his or her 25th, or 30th, or 40th reunion--you know, somebody who was near the front of the P-rade. Ask them, back when they were graduating 25, 30, or 40 years ago, where they expected to be today. If you can get them to open up, they will tell you that today they are happy and satisfied in various measures, or not, and their personal stories will be filled with highs and lows and in-betweens. But, I am willing to bet, those life stories will in almost all cases be quite different, in large and small ways, from what they expected when they started out. This is a good thing, not a bad thing; who wants to know the end of a story that's only in its early chapters? Don't be afraid to let the drama play out.1、阿甘曾講到人生和巧克力的相似性,你不知道下一塊巧克力的味道。人生確實(shí)難以預(yù)料,任何一個(gè)認(rèn)為知道其10年后情況的畢業(yè)生,更不同說(shuō)三十年了,我只能說(shuō)他或她缺乏想象力?纯次野,12年前我一心教經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)入門課程,想著編造什么理由不參加教學(xué)會(huì)議,結(jié)果我接到了那個(gè)電話。有過(guò)你有機(jī)會(huì)與畢業(yè)25年、30年或40年的校友交談,并使他們敞開(kāi)心扉,他們將告訴你,他們對(duì)生活中哪些事滿意或不滿意,他們經(jīng)歷過(guò)的高潮和低谷。但我敢打賭,他們的人生故事將與預(yù)期相異。這是好事而不是壞事,誰(shuí)想在故事的開(kāi)篇就知道結(jié)局呢?
2. Does the fact that our lives are so influenced by chance and seemingly small decisions and actions mean that there is no point to planning, to striving? Not at all. Whatever life may have in store for you, each of you has a grand, lifelong project, and that is the development of yourself as a human being. Your family and friends and your time at Princeton have given you a good start. What will you do with it? Will you keep learning and thinking hard and critically about the most important questions? Will you become an emotionally stronger person, more generous, more loving, more ethical? Will you involve yourself actively and constructively in the world? Many things will happen in your lives, pleasant and not so pleasant, but, paraphrasing a Woodrow Wilson School adage from the time I was here, "Wherever you go, there you are." If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements won't bring you much satisfaction.2、 是否人生偶然性之大的事實(shí),意味著小的決定和行動(dòng)無(wú)足輕重,不需要規(guī)劃和奮斗呢?當(dāng)然不是。無(wú)論未來(lái)人生如何,她將是一個(gè)宏大和漫長(zhǎng)的項(xiàng)目,是你作為個(gè)人 的發(fā)展過(guò)程。你的家人、朋友和你在普林斯頓的時(shí)光已經(jīng)為你造就了良好的開(kāi)端,未來(lái)你會(huì)如何?你會(huì)不斷學(xué)習(xí)、竭力思索、對(duì)至關(guān)重要的問(wèn)題持批判態(tài)度嗎?你會(huì) 成為情感上更強(qiáng)大、更大度、更有愛(ài)心、更道德的人嗎?你會(huì)更積極的、更建設(shè)性的參與世事嗎?你的人生會(huì)有很多故事,快樂(lè)的,及不太快樂(lè)的,如果你不為自己 感到快樂(lè),就連最偉大的成就業(yè)也不會(huì)讓你感到滿足。
3. The concept of success leads me to consider so-called meritocracies and their implications. We have been taught that meritocratic institutions and societies are fair. Putting aside the reality that no system, including our own, is really entirely meritocratic, meritocracies may be fairer and more efficient than some alternatives. But fair in an absolute sense? Think about it. A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment; luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement, and, probably, income; luckiest in their educational and career opportunities; and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate--these are the folks who reap the largest rewards. The only way for even a putative meritocracy to hope to pass ethical muster, to be considered fair, is if those who are the luckiest in all of those respects also have the greatest responsibility to work hard, to contribute to the betterment of the world, and to share their luck with others. As the Gospel of Luke says (and I am sure my rabbi will forgive me for quoting the New Testament in a good cause): "From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded" (Luke 12:48, New Revised Standard Version Bible). Kind of grading on the curve, you might say.3、 成功的概念促使我考慮所謂的精英主義及其含義。精英是在健康和基因上最幸運(yùn)的人,他們?cè)诩彝ブС帧⒐膭?lì)上,或在收入上也是最幸運(yùn)的,他們?cè)诮逃吐殬I(yè)機(jī)遇 上最幸運(yùn),他們?cè)诤芏喾矫娑甲钚疫\(yùn),一般人難以復(fù)制。一個(gè)精英體制是否公平,要看這些精英是否有義務(wù)努力工作、致力于建設(shè)更好的世界,并與他人分享幸運(yùn)。
4. Who is worthy of admiration? The admonition from Luke--which is shared by most ethical and philosophical traditions, by the way--helps with this question as well. Those most worthy of admiration are those who have made the best use of their advantages or, alternatively, coped most courageously with their adversities. I think most of us would agree that people who have, say, little formal schooling but labor honestly and diligently to help feed, clothe, and educate their families are deserving of greater respect--and help, if necessary--than many people who are superficially more successful. They're more fun to have a beer with, too. That's all that I know about sociology.4、誰(shuí)值得尊重?是那些充分利用其優(yōu)勢(shì),或勇敢面對(duì)逆境的人。我想我們會(huì)認(rèn)同,那些雖然接受的正式教育不多,但誠(chéng)實(shí)勞動(dòng)、勤勉的為家人提供衣食和教育的人,相比更多表面上很成功的人,更值得尊重,和他們喝兩杯是更有趣的事情。
5. Since I have covered what I know about sociology, I might as well say something about political science as well. In regard to politics, I have always liked Lily Tomlin's line, in paraphrase: "I try to be cynical, but I just can't keep up." We all feel that way sometime. Actually, having been in Washington now for almost 11 years, as I mentioned, I feel that way quite a bit. Ultimately, though, cynicism is a poor substitute for critical thought and constructive action. Sure, interests and money and ideology all matter, as you learned in political science. But my experience is that most of our politicians and policymakers are trying to do the right thing, according to their own views and consciences, most of the time. If you think that the bad or indifferent results that too often come out of Washington are due to base motives and bad intentions, you are giving politicians and policymakers way too much credit for being effective. Honest error in the face of complex and possibly intractable problems is a far more important source of bad results than are bad motives. For these reasons, the greatest forces in Washington are ideas, and people prepared to act on those ideas. Public service isn't easy. But, in the end, if you are inclined in that direction, it is a worthy and challenging pursuit.5、 提到政治,憤世嫉俗是批判性思考和建設(shè)性行動(dòng)的更糟糕的替代品。當(dāng)然,利益、金錢和意識(shí)形態(tài)都有影響力,如你在政治課上所學(xué)。但我的感受是大部分政界人士 都在尋求做正確的事情,大部分時(shí)候,這由他們的觀點(diǎn)和意識(shí)決定。在復(fù)雜及難于處理的問(wèn)題上所犯的誠(chéng)實(shí)錯(cuò)誤,更是糟糕結(jié)果的主要原因,而非不良動(dòng)機(jī)。因此, 華盛頓最有影響的力量是觀念和想法,人們基于這些觀念去行動(dòng)。公共服務(wù)并不輕松,如果你選擇了這一道路,那是值得的,并頗具挑戰(zhàn)性。
6. Having taken a stab at sociology and political science, let me wrap up economics while I'm at it. Economics is a highly sophisticated field of thought that is superb at explaining to policymakers precisely why the choices they made in the past were wrong. About the future, not so much. However, careful economic analysis does have one important benefit, which is that it can help kill ideas that are completely logically inconsistent or wildly at variance with the data. This insight covers at least 90 percent of proposed economic policies.6、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)是頗具詭辯性的思維領(lǐng)域,她在解釋決策者以往所犯錯(cuò)誤方面顯得很崇高,但在預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái)時(shí),則不僅如此。然而,謹(jǐn)慎的經(jīng)濟(jì)分析確有重要益處,她能去除那些不合邏輯或與數(shù)據(jù)不符的想法,這對(duì)90%的經(jīng)濟(jì)政策建議有影響。
7. I'm not going to tell you that money doesn't matter, because you wouldn't believe me anyway. In fact, for too many people around the world, money is literally a life-or-death proposition. But if you are part of the lucky minority with the ability to choose, remember that money is a means, not an end. A career decision based only on money and not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness.7、我不會(huì)告訴你們金錢無(wú)用,反正你們也不會(huì)聽(tīng)的。事實(shí)上,對(duì)全球很多人來(lái)說(shuō),金錢能夠決定生存還是死亡。但如果你屬于那些幸運(yùn)得有能力進(jìn)行抉擇的少數(shù)人,請(qǐng)記住,金錢只是途徑,而非最終目標(biāo)。職業(yè)選擇基于收入、而非熱愛(ài),或做出貢獻(xiàn)的熱情,是日后苦惱的根源。
8. Nobody likes to fail but failure is an essential part of life and of learning. If your uniform isn't dirty, you haven't been in the game.8、沒(méi)有人希望失敗,但失敗是生活和學(xué)習(xí)的一部分。如果你衣衫整齊,你并沒(méi)有進(jìn)入比賽。
9. I spoke earlier about definitions of personal success in an unpredictable world. I hope that as you develop your own definition of success, you will be able to do so, if you wish, with a close companion on your journey. In making that choice, remember that physical beauty is evolution's way of assuring us that the other person doesn't have too many intestinal parasites. Don't get me wrong, I am all for beauty, romance, and sexual attraction--where would Hollywood and Madison Avenue be without them? But while important, those are not the only things to look for in a partner. The two of you will have a long trip together, I hope, and you will need each other's support and sympathy more times than you can count. Speaking as somebody who has been happily married for 35 years, I can't imagine any choice more consequential for a lifelong journey than the choice of a traveling companion.9、 我希望你們能夠發(fā)展自身對(duì)成功的定義,在這一過(guò)程中,你們能夠選擇一位親密的伴侶。在做出選擇時(shí),要記住外表美只是人類演變的一種方式,它使我們確信對(duì)方 沒(méi)有腸道寄生蟲(chóng)。不要誤解我,我也為美麗、浪漫和性所吸引,不然美國(guó)影視業(yè)和廣告業(yè)怎么生存下去呢?但盡管重要,這些不是尋找人生伴侶時(shí)需要考慮的事 情。你們將共同走過(guò)人生旅程,需要對(duì)方的支持和關(guān)愛(ài)。作為已婚35年的人士,我想象不到比選擇人生伴侶更重要的事情。
10. Call your mom and dad once in a while. A time will come when you will want your own grown-up, busy, hyper-successful children to call you. Also, remember who paid your tuition to Princeton.10、時(shí)不時(shí)的給父母去個(gè)電話。早晚有一天,你希望自己長(zhǎng)大成人的、工作繁忙的、超級(jí)成功的孩子給你來(lái)個(gè)電話,再者,請(qǐng)記著誰(shuí)供養(yǎng)你上的大學(xué)。
Those are my suggestions. They're probably worth exactly what you paid for them. But they come from someone who shares your affection for this great institution and who wishes you the best for the future.
Congratulations, graduates. Give 'em hell.最后,畢業(yè)生們,給他們點(diǎn)顏色看看。

Wang Leehom Speech @Berklee College of Music - YouTube
王力宏伯克利音樂(lè)學(xué)院演講
I don't know what to say. I didn't know that there would be a podium with a microphone. I thought I would just be singing songs. Not to downplay that, but ...
我不知說(shuō)什么好了。我不知道這邊有一個(gè)帶麥克風(fēng)的講臺(tái)。我還以為只要唱幾首歌就好了。不是說(shuō)那不重要。
Oh, my goodness, what an honor. I am just so humbled and excited to be here looking out at all of you.
哦,我的老天,多么大的一份榮譽(yù)。在這里看著大家,我既誠(chéng)惶誠(chéng)恐,又激動(dòng)萬(wàn)分。
Being back here on campus is ... I feel so proud to have studied here. And ... that's 16 years ago, but ... I used to come to Symphony Hall every weekend and get those rush tickets, the student packs, and watch the Boston Symphony Orchestra perform as often as possible, often by myself.
重新回到這里真的是…我為自己曾在此學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)而感到自豪。已經(jīng)是16年前了,但是…我以前經(jīng)常一個(gè)人在周末來(lái)到交響樂(lè)大廳,搶一些所謂的“趕急票”,來(lái)欣賞波士頓交響樂(lè)團(tuán)的表演。
And it was one of the highlights of my time here at Berklee, so being here on stage is really unreal. Walking around on campus today was a testament to how far Berklee's come in the last 16 years. It is beautiful, the campus, the facilities. I was walking by the MP&E, the studios, the equipment, the fitness center. We didn't have any of these stuffs. So I guess you guys have been doing a pretty good job. So thank you, and congratulations to that. What a time for the East and West in music, in pop culture.
這是我在伯克利學(xué)習(xí)生活的眾多亮點(diǎn)之一了,所以能來(lái)到這個(gè)臺(tái)上實(shí)屬不易。今天我在校園漫步,感受到了母校在這16年間的變化之大。她太美了,無(wú)論是環(huán)境還是設(shè)施。我還路過(guò)MP&E,那些工作室,一些設(shè)施,對(duì)了還有一個(gè)健身中心。我們那會(huì)兒可沒(méi)有這玩意兒。所以校方的努力非常的棒,謝謝你們,也祝賀你們。這是一個(gè)東西方在音樂(lè)、流行文化中交流的偉大時(shí)代。
All of you, music lovers, future musicians, future professional musicians on the stage, and like what Roger just said, it's so important for us to be ambassadors, to be that bridge, to be ambassadors of peace, and breaking down the walls, bringing people together. Last night ... this is an issue that's so close in my heart, because last night in Los Angeles, my dear friend Jackie Chan was the first person ... first Chinese actor ever to win an Oscar, last night! I just want to thank all of you for being here, that's why we make music, is to connect with people.
在座的各位,無(wú)論你是音樂(lè)發(fā)燒友、未來(lái)的音樂(lè)人,還是未來(lái)專業(yè)的舞臺(tái)表演音樂(lè)家,就像Roger剛所說(shuō)的,我們要成為大使,這一點(diǎn)非常重要。我們要成為溝通東西方的橋梁,成為和平的使者,我們要消除阻礙,把人和人連接起來(lái)。對(duì)了,跟大家說(shuō)一件很激動(dòng)人心的事情,昨天晚上在洛杉磯,我的好朋友成龍大哥成為了第一個(gè)獲得奧斯卡小金人的中國(guó)演員,就在昨天晚上。真的感謝大家今天來(lái)到這兒,這也是讓我做音樂(lè)的原因—把人連接起來(lái)。
I've never written a song without loving it myself. So for all of you musicians, always follow your heart and always do what you love. I've definitely ... you know ... never convince yourself that what other people are telling you to do is right if you don't feel like it's right in your heart. As a musician, it just doesn't work.
我對(duì)我寫(xiě)的每一首歌都很喜歡,沒(méi)有不喜歡的。所以,各位音樂(lè)人,請(qǐng)跟隨自己的心,做自己愛(ài)做的事。如果你內(nèi)心不認(rèn)可的事情,那么無(wú)論別人怎么說(shuō),你都別動(dòng)搖。作為一個(gè)音樂(lè)人,不這么做是行不通的。
So work like a bull, I guess ... and always have fun. And all the accolades don't mean anything without your friends and your family to share with. So Thank You to them as well for being here together, and always.
最后,像老黃牛一樣工作,并且保持快樂(lè)。另外,我還想說(shuō),如果你不能把這份快樂(lè)跟你的朋友、家人分享的話,那么所有的贊美都是沒(méi)有意義的。所以,我要感謝今天出席典禮的朋友和家人。

Transcr ipt of Apple CEO Tim Cook's commencement address at Tulane University
蘋果CEO蒂姆·庫(kù)克杜蘭大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮演講致詞
Hello Tulane! Thank you President Fitts, Provost Forman, distinguished faculty, other faculty (laughs), and the entire Tulane family, including the workers, ushers, (and) volunteers who prepared this beautiful space. And I feel duty-bound to also recognize the hard-working bartenders at The Boot. Though they're not here with us this morning, I'm sure some of you are reflecting on their contributions as well. (The Boot is a popular college bar right next to Tulane's campus which has been around for decades.)
你好,杜蘭大學(xué)!感謝菲茨校長(zhǎng)、福爾曼教務(wù)長(zhǎng)、尊敬的教職員工、其他教職員工[笑]以及整個(gè)杜蘭大家庭,包括為這個(gè)美麗的講堂做準(zhǔn)備的工作人員、引座員和志愿者。我覺(jué)得我有責(zé)任也稱贊一下在The Boot工作的辛勤的調(diào)酒師。雖然他們今天早上沒(méi)有和我們?cè)谝黄,但我相信你們中的一些人也在反思他們的貢獻(xiàn)。[The Boot是一家受歡迎的大學(xué)酒吧,緊挨著杜蘭大學(xué)校園,已經(jīng)存在了幾十年了。]
And just as many of you have New Orleans in your veins, and perhaps your livers, some of us at Apple have New Orleans in our blood as well. When I was a student at Auburn, the Big Easy was our favorite getaway. It's amazing how quickly those 363 miles fly by when you're driving toward a weekend of beignets and beer. And how slowly they go in the opposite direction. Apple's own Lisa Jackson is a proud Tulane alum. Yes. She brought the Green Wave all the way to Cupertino where she heads our environment and public policy work. We're thrilled to have her talent and leadership on our team.
就像你們中很多人的血管里也許還有肝臟里有新奧爾良一樣,我們蘋果公司的一些人的血液里也有新奧爾良。當(dāng)我還是奧本大學(xué)的學(xué)生的時(shí)候,我們最喜歡的度假勝地是Big Easy。非常神奇的是,當(dāng)你在周末開(kāi)車駛向這個(gè)勝地,想象著甜甜圈和啤酒的時(shí)候,363英里的距離似乎一閃而過(guò);而當(dāng)你返程時(shí),路途卻顯得那么遙遠(yuǎn)。蘋果的員工麗莎-杰克遜(LisaJackson)是一位令人驕傲的杜蘭大學(xué)校友。是。她把綠色浪潮一路帶到了庫(kù)比蒂諾,在那里她領(lǐng)導(dǎo)著我們的環(huán)境和公共政策工作。我們很高興她能在我們的隊(duì)伍中發(fā)揮才華和進(jìn)行領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。
OK, enough about us. Let's talk about you. At moments like this, it always humbles me to watch a community come together to teach, mentor, advise, and finally say with one voice, congratulations to the class of 20xx!
好了,別再提我們了。讓我們談?wù)勀銈。在這樣的時(shí)刻,看到一個(gè)社區(qū)聚集在一起傳道受業(yè)解惑,最后用一個(gè)聲音說(shuō),祝賀20xx年的同學(xué)們,這讓我感到很謙卑!
Now there's another very important group: your family and friends. The people who, more than anyone else, loved, supported, and even sacrificed greatly to help you reach this moment. Let's give them a round of applause. This will be my first piece of advice. You might not appreciate until much later in your life how much this moment means to them. Or how that bond of obligation, love, and duty between you matters more than anything else.
現(xiàn)在還有一個(gè)非常重要的群體:你們的家人和朋友。那些比任何人都更愛(ài)你們、更支持你們、甚至甘愿自我犧牲的人,為了幫助你們達(dá)到這一時(shí)刻,他們付出了巨大的代價(jià)。讓我們?yōu)樗麄児恼。這將是我的第一條建議。直到你生命的后期,你們才會(huì)意識(shí)到這一刻對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)有多么重要,或者意識(shí)到你們的義務(wù)、愛(ài)和責(zé)任有多么重要。
In fact, that's what I really want to talk to you about today. In a world where we obsessively document our own lives, most of us don't pay nearly enough attention to what we owe one another. Now this isn't just about calling your parents more, although I'm sure they'd be grateful if you did that. It's about recognizing that human civilization began when we realized that we could do more together. That the threats and danger outside the flickering firelight got smaller when we got bigger. And that we could create more - more prosperity, more beauty, more wisdom, and a better life - when we acknowledge certain shared truths and acted collectively.
事實(shí)上,這就是我今天真正想和你們說(shuō)的。在一個(gè)我們沉迷于記錄自己生活的世界里,我們中的大多數(shù)人對(duì)我們彼此虧欠的東西沒(méi)有給予足夠的關(guān)注。這不僅僅是給你們的父母打更多的電話,盡管我相信如果你們會(huì)這么做,他們會(huì)很感激的。當(dāng)我們意識(shí)到我們可以在一起做更多的事情時(shí),人類文明就開(kāi)始了。當(dāng)我們變得更越來(lái)越強(qiáng)大時(shí),在閃爍的火光之外的威脅和危險(xiǎn)就會(huì)變得越來(lái)越小。我們可以創(chuàng)造更多——更多的繁榮,更多的美,更多的智慧,更美好的生活——只要我們承認(rèn)某些共同的真理并采取集體行動(dòng)。
Maybe I'm biased, but I've always thought the South, and the Gulf Coast in particular, have hung on to this wisdom better than most. (Tim Cook grew up in Robertsdale, Alabama, which is about an hour from New Orleans and is similarly close to the Gulf of Mexico.) In this part of the country, your neighbors check up on you if they haven't heard from you in a while. Good news travels fast because your victories are their victories too.

也許我有偏見(jiàn),但我一直認(rèn)為南方,特別是墨西哥灣海岸,比大多數(shù)人更能堅(jiān)持這一智慧。[庫(kù)克在阿拉巴馬州的羅伯茨代爾長(zhǎng)大,那里距離新奧爾良大約一個(gè)小時(shí)的路程,同樣靠近墨西哥灣。]在這個(gè)國(guó)家的這個(gè)地方,如果你們的鄰居有一段時(shí)間沒(méi)有你們的消息,他們會(huì)忍不住來(lái)看望你們。好消息傳得很快,因?yàn)槟銈兊膭倮彩撬麄兊膭倮T谒麄兲峁┮活D熱飯熱菜招待你們之前,你們是不可能走出大門的。
Maybe you haven't thought about it very much, but these values have informed your Tulane education too. Just look at the motto: not for one's self, but for one's own. You've been fortunate to live, learn, and grow in a city where human currents blend into something magical and unexpected. Where unmatched beauty, natural beauty, literary beauty, musical beauty, cultural beauty, seem to spring unexpectedly from the bayou. The people of New Orleans use two tools to build this city: the unlikely and the impossible. Wherever you go, don't forget the lessons of this place. Life will always find lots of ways to tell you no, that you can't, that you shouldn't, that you'd be better off if you didn't try. But New Orleans teaches us there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than trying. Especially when we do it not in the service of one's self, but one's own.
也許你們還沒(méi)有想太多,但這些價(jià)值觀也影響了你們杜蘭大學(xué)的教育?纯催@句座右銘:不是為了自己,而是為了自己人。你們很幸運(yùn)地生活、學(xué)習(xí)和成長(zhǎng)在一座城市里,在這個(gè)城市里,人類的潮流融合成了一種神奇的、意想不到的東西。在那里,無(wú)與倫比的美,自然的美,文學(xué)的美,音樂(lè)的美,文化的美,似乎不期而至地從河口涌出。新奧爾良的人們使用兩種工具來(lái)建造這座城市:不太可能的和不可能的。無(wú)論你走到哪里,都不要忘記這個(gè)地方的教訓(xùn)。生活總會(huì)找到很多方法來(lái)告訴你,不,你不能,你不應(yīng)該,如果你不去嘗試,你會(huì)過(guò)得更好。但是新奧爾良告訴我們,沒(méi)有什么比嘗試更美麗和更有價(jià)值了。尤其是當(dāng)我們這樣做不是為自己服務(wù),而是為自己人服務(wù)的時(shí)候。
For me, it was that search for greater purpose that brought me to Apple in the first place. I had a comfortable job at a company called Compaq that at the time looked like it was going to be on top forever. As it turns out, most of you are probably too young to even remember its name. But in 1998, Steve Jobs convinced me to leave Compaq behind to join a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. They made computers, but at that moment at least, people weren't interested in buying them. Steve had a plan to change things. And I wanted to be a part of it.
對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),正是為了追求更偉大的目標(biāo),我才第一次來(lái)到蘋果。我曾在一家叫康柏(Compaq)的公司找到了一份舒適的工作,在當(dāng)時(shí)看來(lái),這份工作將永遠(yuǎn)是的工作。事實(shí)證明,你們中的大多數(shù)人可能還太年輕,甚至不記得它的名字。但在1998年,史蒂夫-喬布斯說(shuō)服我離開(kāi)康柏,加入一家瀕臨破產(chǎn)的蘋果公司。他們制造電腦,但至少在那一刻,人們對(duì)購(gòu)買這些電腦并不感興趣。史蒂夫有個(gè)改變一切的計(jì)劃。我也想成為其中的一員。
It wasn't just about the iMac, or the iPod, or everything that came after. It was about the values that brought these inventions to life. The idea that putting powerful tools in the hands of everyday people helps unleash creativity and move humanity forward. That we can build things that help us imagine a better world and then make it real.
這不僅僅是iMac,或者iPod,或者之后的一切,而是使這些發(fā)明創(chuàng)意復(fù)活的價(jià)值觀念。把強(qiáng)大的工具放在普通人手中將有助于釋放創(chuàng)造力和推動(dòng)人類向前發(fā)展。我們可以建造一些東西來(lái)幫助我們想象一個(gè)更美好的世界,然后讓它成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。
There's a saying that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. At Apple, I learned that's a total crock. You'll work harder than you ever thought possible, but the tools will feel light in your hands. As you go out into the world, don't waste time on problems that have been solved. Don't get hung up on what other people say is practical. Instead, steer your ship into the choppy seas. Look for the rough spots, the problems that seem too big, the complexities that other people are content to work around. It's in those places that you will find your purpose. It's there that you can make your greatest contribution. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of being too cautious. Don't assume that by staying put, the ground won't move beneath your feet. The status quo simply won't last. So get to work on building something better.
有句諺語(yǔ)說(shuō),如果你做你喜歡做的事,你的人生中將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)有一天是在工作。在蘋果公司,我知道了這是一個(gè)徹頭徹尾的謊言。你會(huì)比你想象的更努力工作,但你卻一點(diǎn)也不覺(jué)得費(fèi)勁。當(dāng)你走進(jìn)這個(gè)世界的時(shí)候,不要把時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在已經(jīng)解決的問(wèn)題上。不要為別人所說(shuō)的是實(shí)際的情況而心煩意亂。相反,引導(dǎo)你的船進(jìn)入波濤洶涌的大海。尋找那些蠻荒之地,那些看起來(lái)還很難解決的問(wèn)題,那些其他人樂(lè)于解決的復(fù)雜問(wèn)題。在那些地方,你會(huì)找到你的目標(biāo)。在那里你可以做出你的貢獻(xiàn)。無(wú)論你做什么,都不要犯太謹(jǐn)慎的錯(cuò)誤。不要以為原地不動(dòng),地面就不會(huì)在你腳下移動(dòng)。現(xiàn)狀根本不會(huì)持久。所以開(kāi)始做些更好的事吧。
In some important ways, my generation has failed you in this regard. We spent too much time debating. We've been too focused on the fight and not focused enough on progress. And you don't need to look far to find an example of that failure. Here today, in this very place, in an arena where thousands once found desperate shelter from a 100-year disaster, the kind that seem to be happening more and more frequently, I don't think we can talk about who we are as people and what we owe to one another without talking about climate change.
在某些重要的方面,我們這代人辜負(fù)了你們。我們花了太多時(shí)間辯論。我們一直太專注于斗爭(zhēng),而沒(méi)有把足夠的注意力放在進(jìn)步上。你不需要看太遠(yuǎn)就能找到失敗的例子。今天,就在這個(gè)地方,在這個(gè)成千上萬(wàn)人曾經(jīng)絕望地躲避百年災(zāi)難的地方,這種災(zāi)難似乎變得越來(lái)越頻繁。我認(rèn)為,如果我們不談?wù)摎夂蜃兓,我們就無(wú)法談?wù)撐覀兪钦l(shuí),以及我們彼此虧欠了什么。

This problem doesn't get any easier based on whose side wins or loses an election. It's about who has won life's lottery and has the luxury of ignoring this issue and who stands to lose everything. The coastal communities, including some right here in Louisiana, that are already making plans to leave behind the places they've called home for generations and head for higher ground. The fishermen whose nets come up empty. The wildlife preserves with less wildlife to preserve. The marginalized, for whom a natural disaster can mean enduring poverty.
這個(gè)問(wèn)題不會(huì)因?yàn)檎l(shuí)勝誰(shuí)負(fù)而變得簡(jiǎn)單,這是一個(gè)關(guān)乎誰(shuí)贏了人生彩票、誰(shuí)有忽視這個(gè)問(wèn)題的能力、誰(shuí)會(huì)失去一切的問(wèn)題。沿海社區(qū),包括路易斯安那州的一些社區(qū),已經(jīng)在計(jì)劃離開(kāi)世代以來(lái)被稱為“家園”的地方,前往更海拔更高地方。如今漁民的漁網(wǎng)空空如也、野生動(dòng)物生計(jì)蕭條。對(duì)于生存在邊緣地區(qū)的人來(lái)說(shuō),自然災(zāi)害往往就意味著持久的貧困。
Just ask Tulane's own Molly Keogh, who's getting her Ph.D. this weekend. Her important new research shows that rising sea levels are devastating areas of Southern Louisiana more dramatically than anyone expected. Tulane graduates, these are people's homes. Their livelihoods. The land where their grandparents were born, lived, and died.
問(wèn)問(wèn)杜蘭大學(xué)的莫莉·基奧(Molly Keogh)就知道了,她這個(gè)周末就要拿到博士學(xué)位了。她的一項(xiàng)重要新研究表明,海平面上升對(duì)路易斯安那州南部地區(qū)造成的破壞比任何人預(yù)想的都要嚴(yán)重。杜蘭大學(xué)的畢業(yè)生們,這些地方都是人們的家園、他們的生計(jì)、他們祖父母出生、生活和去世的地方。
When we talk about climate change or any issue with human costs, and there are many, I challenge you to look for those who have the most to lose and find the real, true empathy that comes from something shared. That is really what we owe one another. When you do that, the political noise dies down, and you can feel your feet firmly planted on solid ground. After all, we don't build monuments to trolls, and we're not going to start now.
當(dāng)我們談?wù)摎夂蜃兓蛉魏闻c人類成本有關(guān)的問(wèn)題時(shí),我有很多問(wèn)題希望你們能夠著手去做:去尋找那些因此損失的人,并從一些共同的東西中找到真正的、真正的同理心,這才是我們真正虧欠彼此的東西。當(dāng)你這樣做的時(shí)候,政治上的喧囂就會(huì)平息下來(lái),你會(huì)感到自己的腳牢牢地踩在了堅(jiān)實(shí)的土地上。畢竟,我們從來(lái)不為巨魔建造紀(jì)念碑,也不會(huì)現(xiàn)在開(kāi)創(chuàng)這個(gè)先例。
If you find yourself spending more time fighting than getting to work, stop and ask yourself who benefits from all the chaos. There are some who would like you to believe that the only way that you can be strong is by bulldozing those who disagree or never giving them a chance to say their peace in the first place. That the only way you can build your own accomplishments is by tearing down the other side.
如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己花在斗爭(zhēng)上的時(shí)間比上班的時(shí)間還多。那么停下來(lái),問(wèn)問(wèn)自己誰(shuí)能從所有這些混亂中受益。有些人想讓你相信,你能變得強(qiáng)大的方法,就是制服那些不同意你觀點(diǎn)的人,或者從一開(kāi)始就不給他們機(jī)會(huì)表達(dá)自己的機(jī)會(huì)。他們想讓你相信,你能成就自己的方法就是摧毀對(duì)方。
We forget sometimes that our preexisting beliefs have their own force of gravity. Today, certain algorithms pull toward you the things you already know, believe, or like, and they push away everything else. Push back. It shouldn't be this way. But in 20xx, opening your eyes and seeing things in a new way can be a revolutionary act. Summon the courage not just to hear but to listen. Not just to act, but to act together.
我們有時(shí)會(huì)忘記,我們先前存在的信念有其自身的引力。今天,某些算法會(huì)把你已經(jīng)知道、相信或喜歡的東西主動(dòng)拉向你,而把其他的東西推開(kāi),但事情本不應(yīng)該如此。然而在20xx年,睜開(kāi)眼睛、以一種全新方式看待事物可能是一種革命性的行為。你不僅要鼓起勇氣去聽(tīng),還要有勇氣去聽(tīng)。不僅僅是行動(dòng),而是要一起行動(dòng)。
It can sometimes feel like the odds are stacked against you, that it isn't worth it, that the critics are too persistent and the problems are too great. But the solutions to our problems begin on a human scale with building a shared understanding of the work ahead and with undertaking it together. At the very least, we owe it to each other to try.
有時(shí)候你會(huì)覺(jué)得機(jī)會(huì)對(duì)你不利、覺(jué)得這么做不值得、覺(jué)得批評(píng)之聲太過(guò)頑固,亦或覺(jué)得問(wèn)題太大(超出了自己的處理能力)。但是,解決我們當(dāng)下問(wèn)題的辦法首先就是在人類范疇內(nèi)建立對(duì)今后工作的共同理解,并著手共同解決這一問(wèn)題。至少,我們也應(yīng)該放手一搏。
It's worked before. In 1932, the American economy was in a free-fall. Twelve million people were unemployed, and conventional wisdom said the only thing to do was to ride it out, wait, and hope that things would turn around. But the governor of New York, a rising star named Franklin Roosevelt, refused to wait. He challenged the status quo and called for action. He needed people to stop their rosy thinking, face the facts, pull together, and help themselves out of a jam.
這樣的方式在之前曾成功過(guò)。1932年,當(dāng)時(shí)的美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)一落千丈,有1200萬(wàn)人失業(yè)。傳統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為,我們能做的就是撐過(guò)這段時(shí)間、等待,并希望情況會(huì)有所好轉(zhuǎn)。但當(dāng)時(shí)政途冉冉升起的紐約州州長(zhǎng)富蘭克林o羅斯福(Franklin Roosevelt,后就任美國(guó)第32任總統(tǒng),美國(guó)歷連任超過(guò)兩屆的總統(tǒng))拒絕等待。他敢于挑戰(zhàn)現(xiàn)狀,呼吁采取行動(dòng)。他呼吁人們停止繼續(xù)抱有樂(lè)觀的想法,面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)、齊心協(xié)力,幫助自己擺脫困境。
He said: "The country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it and try another. But above all, try something."
他說(shuō):“這個(gè)國(guó)家需要一些大膽、持續(xù)的嘗試。采取一種方法并加以嘗試是再正常不過(guò)的事情。如果失敗了,我們就承認(rèn)失敗,然后再試一次。但最重要的是,我們需要嘗試一些東西!
This was a speech to college students fearful about their future in an uncertain world. He said: "Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world."
這是一場(chǎng)對(duì)大學(xué)生的演講,他們擔(dān)心自己在一個(gè)不確定世界里的未來(lái)。他(羅斯福)說(shuō):“你們的任務(wù)不是在世界上開(kāi)辟自己的道路,而是改造世界。”
The audacious empathy of young people, the spirit that says we should live not just for ourselves, but for our own. That's the way forward. From climate change to immigration, from criminal justice reform to economic opportunity, be motivated by your duty to build a better world. Young people have changed the course of history time and time again. And now it's time to change it once more.
年輕人無(wú)畏的同情心告訴我們,我們不僅要為努力生活,而且要為自己而活。這是一條前進(jìn)的道路,從氣候變化到移民、從刑事司法改革到經(jīng)濟(jì)機(jī)遇,我們都要以建設(shè)一個(gè)更美好世界的責(zé)任為動(dòng)力。此前的年輕人一次又一次地改變了歷史的進(jìn)程,現(xiàn)在是時(shí)候再次改變了。
I know, I know the urgency of that truth is with you today. Feel big because no one can make you feel small. Feel brave because the challenges we face are great but you are greater. And feel grateful because someone sacrificed to make this moment possible for you. You have clear eyes and a long life to use them. And here in this stadium, I can feel your courage.
我知道,今天你們所接觸到真相帶來(lái)的緊迫性。大膽一些,因?yàn)闆](méi)有人能讓你感到弱小。勇敢一些,因?yàn)槲覀兠媾R的挑戰(zhàn)是巨大的,但你們將更加偉大。懂得感恩,因?yàn)橐呀?jīng)有人為你們生活在的當(dāng)下做出了犧牲,讓這一刻成為可能。你們擁有一對(duì)清澈的眼睛,人生的道路也還很長(zhǎng)。在這個(gè)體育場(chǎng),我能感受到你們的勇氣。
Call upon your grit. Try something. You may succeed. You may fail. But make it your life's work to remake the world because there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than working to leave something better for humanity.
呼喚你的勇氣。嘗試,你可能會(huì)成功,也可能會(huì)失敗。但是,請(qǐng)讓改造世界成為你自己的人生工作,因?yàn)闆](méi)有什么比為人類留下更好的東西更具價(jià)值。
Thank you very much, and congratulations class of 20xx!
非常感謝,祝賀20xx屆的畢業(yè)生們!

We all have a common home. she provides us with enough food, enough water and enough living room.We get everything from the nature to live better, but we donnot do anything to protect her. how the air is polluted;the earth is poisoned; water is unsafe to drink and rubbish is burying the civilization that man owns.
Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts can prevent. time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry.So many trees will be cut down, and more large cities will be set up. lots of waste material, in return,is produced and harms the environment.so some experts declare that the balance of nature is being upset,so that the very survival of man is in danger.
How can we solve this problem?the answer is that we must control the speed of growing people,forbid everyone to cut down trees and pour waste water into rivers and so on.
If we achieve this, the environment will turn very clean,and our future will be full of happiness.

I think the most important modern invention is the Internet. With theInternet, we can do many things. For example, we can shop, learn knowledge,listen to music, and watch movies online. The Internet makes the world smaller.We can meet and talk to friends and relatives far away without spending a lot ofmoney. We can also post our blogs online so our friends can know what we aredoing by visiting our websites like zuowendidai(Joozone). Internet makes ourlife more exciting and easier.

In that faraway village, small mountain village ... ..." Ears suddenly echoed the" mother's kiss" this song, my heart cannot calm, reminds me of the great maternal love.
A mother's love is like a tired work well, when you are weak and feeble, a few bites refreshed; motherly love like helpless when hands, when you don't know what to do, just hold on its difficulties will be smoothly done or easily solved; maternal love as the sun in winter, when you cold despair, as long as bathed in the warmth of love, all the disappear in smoke in a moment. A mother's love is like a pastoral poem, remote, pure, and elegant light; a
mother's love is like a deep love song, melodious, lead a person to endless aftertastes; motherly love is like a landscape painting, quiet and beautiful, tranquil and elegant. The maternal love is a growing Yanyinqipan children; maternal love is concerned about their children before bed anxious; motherly love is drifting continuously miss the Earth children; maternal love is the sons and daughters of life concomitant joke.

Good afternoon ,ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! To begin with ,I want to ask a question .Does everybody dream a good dream last night? Actually ,today I want to talk about dream with you. Of course, What I want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.
Everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. Dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. With the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer confused.With the dream, there is hope,With hope, we have the strength to fight.
I have a dream: To be a doctor.,because doctor may relieve the pain of patients. May let the human change the health. At the same time, I believed that, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. Therefore, I hoped in the near future ,I might be a doctor.
But I know,life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .
Young!Fortunately, I am young now. Just due to it, I know that nothing is impossible.I firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. If I can't realize my dream,it result from that I haven't work harder enough and I won't find other excuses. If no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right. If you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here, you can become the god and create the truth.
"My breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in Kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." At some time in the past I also had am bitious words and I had some achievements. Each achievement results from my hard work. I always believe that "If you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder." In some extent, the dream is the hope. If you can insist on doing something, the victory will come.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. Let's--- move ----out!
Thank you for your listening!

Why does football get people into a frenzy?
Who is your idol? It may be Napoleon, Picasso, or Michael Jackson. But who is my idol? Can you guess? It is Ronaldo. He is the No. 1 super star of football.
Football is a game in which 22 people chase one ball around a large field. The aim of the game is to get the ball into the net to score.
After all, it’s such an easy game, and yet people go crazy mad over it. The answer lies in two facts. One is the game itself. Sometimes it is beyond any description. Football is a game of passes and techniques, passion and love, more importantly, unity is the key---the whole team working as one, united they will never be defeated.
The European’s style. of play is like a Waltz, the Brazilian like a Samba, and the passionate Argentineans play as if they are doing a Tango. Football is so unpredictable, so unbelievable. You will never know who will win until the last minute. Especially when suddenly there is a goal, the fans who have been sitting on the edge of their seats, will be wild with joy and excitement; and the losers with disappointed hearts will despair over their teams.
The other is of course the super stars. Each one has his own personality, just like my idol Ronaldo. When he smiles, we all smile with him. Who can forget that buck-toothed smile, or that unique hairstyle. during the 20xx World Cup. Ronaldo was born to a poor family. He has set an example to children who can’t afford a pair of shoes, but have talent and a passion for football. He gives them confidence and hope of a better future.
Football is the game that wins everyone’s heart and the best game ever invented.

Good morning,ladies and gentlemen,today i am so happy to stand here to give you a speech.Or rather, a real story of mine.
Though with time going by,i can still remember what you once told me.You should be a brave girl.Smiling,you looked into my eyes.Year in,year out,nearly most of my memories are fading little by little.But only this simple sentence remained,without being forgotten in my life.
Again and again,i can not stop myself from thinking about it.So ordinary,but so impressive,so moving,just like the brightest sunshine,it helps me go through the darkest night.I am such a sensitive girl in your heart.You said,my sorroful facial expression made feel so distersssed.However,there is one thing i never tell you,that is ,i am becoming a big girl gradually with your words and smiles.I never tell you about it,for i believe oneday,you can see the great changes of mine for yourself.That is what i want to do in return.As i know,that will be the best gift for you.
I suddenly think of a song named MY HEART WILL GO ON.There is a beautiful sentence going like this.You are safe in my heart.More than once,i was moved to tears by it.I know ,i am also safe in your heart.i have already forgotten when i told you i was going to leave for Australia this summer holiday.You just smiled as usual,gently speaking.Whatever you decide to do,i will be in favor of it,but, just onething,remember,when you fell lonely abroad,do not forget we are here ,praying for you.We are all around you,far across the distance and space between us.i closed my eyes,the flashback started.The memories we had together,once we played games on the palyground,we played jokes on each other,you always wrote a lot of sentences on my articles to encourage me.And the most unforgetable thing,you told me,you believed m i could be a big girl.Sooner or later.
At that specific moment,i suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence totally.So on that day,i smiled as you used to,looking at you.The last words i said were,keep walking in sunshine.
Yes,keep walking in sunshine.I said to you ,also to myself.I know i am not alone wiht your company,and we can keep walking in sunshine till the last minute of our days.
I promise,i will be a big girl.
I promise,i will be a brave girl.
I promise,i will keep walking in sunshine.
That is my speech,thank you!

Good morning:Honorable judges, dear teachers and close friends. I’m very glad to stand here to share my speech with you. Today I’m going to talk about Love and Take care of Nature.Each life on the earth has a long and touching evolutionary story. From the origin, the lives of the human being are equal to those of others; they both are the composing parts of Mother Nature. Nevertheless, for some inexplicable reasons, the human becomes the spirits of all creatures. Of course, it is the result of the evolution, but still we should be grateful to all our companions in nature for the opportunity they offer. In spite of this, humans cannot live without earth.
They live on the earth, drink the sweet water, and enjoy the sunshine, the air, the sky, the fruit; the grains utilize the energy and so on. In a word, the human being cannot live without nature, and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger. I do not like the word "Pet", but preferring the word "Animal" instead. I have been loving animal since I was just a little boy. When thinking of the "Pet Fashion", I always feel much annoyed. For the animals will be given a shackle and lose their liberty if they become someone\'s pets. Their natural attribution can be deprived, too. Up to now, relying on their scientific power, the human have opened up too much and over developed nature, in order to fill up their growing appetites of wealth.
They destroy the balance of nature, however, they don\'t realize, their own development and existence will be threatened. Therefore, our sights should be focused on nature and we should try to develop the concept of "keeping human and nature in unity". We should lay emphasis on our education with consider cultural and natural emotion. To use the vivid example to wake up the conscience in people's hearts.

i come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. i join you in this meeting because i am in deepest agreement with the aims and work of the organization which has brought us together: clergy and laymen concerned about vietnam. the recent statements of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart, and i found myself in full accord when i read its opening lines: "a time comes when silence is betrayal." and that time has come for us in relation to vietnam.
the truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world. moreover, when the issues at hand seem as perplexed as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict, we are always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertainty; but we must move on.

In this picture, a mother bird stays in her nest in a big three, watching herbabies flying away. I think she must be very proud of her children,who are ableto find their own food now.

Good afternoon. Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today I will say something about my family love.
I remember when I was younger. My family lived a simple life. We weren'twealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but we were content with what wehad.
Our first vehicle was an old broken-down bicycle. It provided us withtransportation on many enjoyable weekends and holidays. Mom sat on the backwhile Dad pedaled. I, a mere toddler at the time, rode on the bar in front ofhim. It didn't matter where we were going as long as we were going theretogether.
Not long after that, my family moved to Hainan. Relying on my parents,courage and persistence, they started their own business. As a result, we weresoon able to replace the bike with a new car. So we could travel further on ourexcursions. Our family's happy laughter filled the car as we traveled to manydistant locations in China. Many years have gone by since those happy days, butwe're still as close as ever.
Recently, the airplane has become our mode of transportation as we venturebeyond the confines of China to see the world. We were able to experiencefirsthand the uniqueness of Amsterdam, the romance of Paris, and the elegance ofVienna. But yet, such fantastic sites were nothing compared to the love of ourfamily.
Time goes by swiftly, and everything is changing all the time.Yet the loveexisting in my family always remains. It is the source of our happiness; It,sthe source of all of our ideals: confidence, courage, and faith. But it goes somuch deeper than that; it warms our very hearts. So I will acclaim for theeternal and awesome love in my family and let it go on forever!
Thank you very much!
記得在我很小的時(shí)候,家里的日子過(guò)得樸實(shí)無(wú)華,不富裕的家境容不得半點(diǎn)的奢侈。但是,我們對(duì)所擁有的一切都感到滿足與愜意。
一輛破舊的自行車是我們?nèi)业牡谝粋(gè)交通工具。但它為我們帶來(lái)了許許多多快樂(lè)的周末與假期。記得媽媽總是坐在后座上,爸爸騎著車,而丁點(diǎn)兒大的我就呆在車子的前梁上。在我們的短程旅途中,似乎目的地并不是最重要的,而重要的是我們?cè)谝黄穑硎懿⒍蛇^(guò)了快樂(lè)的時(shí)光。
在那不久后,我們?nèi)野岬搅撕D,憑著父母的勇氣與執(zhí)著不懈的努力,他們?cè)谧约旱氖聵I(yè)上很快有了出色的成績(jī)。因此,不久后父母就將原本的腳踏車換成了一輛嶄新的小轎車,于是,我們就開(kāi)始了長(zhǎng)距離的旅途,在周游中國(guó)的同時(shí),快樂(lè)的笑聲總是充滿著整個(gè)溫馨的車廂。而那些日子雖然已經(jīng)過(guò)去了很久,但是我們還是像以前那樣親密無(wú)間。
后來(lái),在我們邁出中國(guó)游覽世界的時(shí)候,飛機(jī)又成了我們的新型交通工具。我們?nèi)乙黄鸶惺馨⒛匪固氐さ钠娈,巴黎的浪漫與維也納的典雅。但是所有令人心動(dòng)的景色都不可與旅途中我們?nèi)覞鉂獾挠H情相提并論。
時(shí)光如水,我們身邊的一切都在無(wú)時(shí)無(wú)刻地改變著,但是親情不變,永遠(yuǎn)不變。它是我們快樂(lè)的源泉,是我們?nèi)依硐、信心、勇氣與責(zé)任的源泉。它所給予的不僅僅是這些。而更多的是心靈上的溫暖與感動(dòng)。所以,我要為親情喝彩,讓愛(ài)--永恒!

Honorable Judges, fellow students:
Good afternoon!
Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students arethe beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education atextraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and supportourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Willwe be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of ourcountry?
The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, whichwould cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The collegestudents I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We helpeach other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take parttime jobs to supplement our pocket money.
The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect theneed for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeplyfor each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Lastweek, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order tomake a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point inour lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each willprofoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe inall my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a littlebit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challengeand take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume newresponsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to makeour world a better place. I believe in our future.
尊敬的評(píng)委,各位同學(xué):
下午好!
最近,社會(huì)上有一場(chǎng)很激烈的爭(zhēng)論。大學(xué)生是一種稀有特權(quán)的享有者,在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是,我們能面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)而無(wú)所畏懼嗎?我們能夠改善他人的生活嗎?我們能夠承擔(dān)建設(shè)祖國(guó)未來(lái)的重任嗎?
懷疑論者說(shuō)大學(xué)生是被寵壞的一代,一丁點(diǎn)挫折都受不了。但是他們錯(cuò)了,我所看到的大學(xué)生正在努力的學(xué)習(xí)獨(dú)立生活。我們互相幫助打掃衛(wèi)生,一起上街砍價(jià)購(gòu)物,一起參加兼職工作來(lái)賺零花錢。
懷疑論者說(shuō)我們除了成績(jī)什么都不關(guān)心,從而忽略了性格的培養(yǎng)。但是,他們又錯(cuò)了。我們彼此關(guān)心,我們向往自由,我們珍惜公正,我們追求真理。上個(gè)星期,很多我的同學(xué)去驗(yàn)血,為了給患血癌的孩子貢獻(xiàn)自己的力量。
作為大學(xué)生,我們是處在人生分水嶺的青年。我們都面臨一個(gè)重要的選擇:懷疑人生還是相信自己,每一種都會(huì)給我們的人生帶來(lái)重大的影響,甚至影響我們祖國(guó)的未來(lái)。我相信我們的同學(xué)們,雖然我們依然缺乏經(jīng)驗(yàn),甚至有些志氣,但是我相信我們有勇氣和自信來(lái)面對(duì)生活的挑戰(zhàn)并承擔(dān)我們的責(zé)任。我們正努力準(zhǔn)備接受新的任務(wù),用我們所學(xué)習(xí)的知識(shí)將世界變得更美好。我對(duì)我們的未來(lái)充滿信心。

As the saying goes: "failure is the mother of success." This seems to have become a commonplace talk of an old scholar, but the actions and words are sometimes not consistent. When you report "red light", or the difficulties encountered in the work, your heart is in addition to upset, the other nothing? Are you aware of this failure is pregnant with the seeds of success! In this regard, everyone's answer is certainly not the same! This is quite necessary to talk about: failure is the mother of success.
There everything is going smoothly. Things, yet failure is always there, otherwise, the "inventor", "literary giant" reputation will not easily fall everyone's head? Throughout history, those who rise above the common herd men can succeed, it is because they can treat correctly failure, learn from failure to kick in, fail this stumbling block, set foot on the road to success, such as the great inventor Thomas Edison, too many to count - successful students, life is too many to count the failure. He was an invention has undergone eight thousand failed experiment, but he does not think it is a waste, but said: "why should I sad? This failed eight thousand times at least, so I understand the eight thousand experiments is not feasible." Edison's attitude towards failure. He often draw lessons from failure, sum up experience, thus achieved at a failed many times in the basis of inventions. Failures will bring pain, but it can also make people gain; it is pointed out to us that the errors and shortcomings in work, but also inspire us step by step to success. Failure is the success of negation, and is the foundation of success, that is to say: "failure is the mother of success."
However, in reality the success not failure accumulation, but failed to summary and beyond. If you don't understand this point, will cause the "absurd conclusion failure of more and more successful". Such as mathematics famous parallel axiom, from its inception, has always been suspicions. For thousands of years, countless mathematicians committed to proving the parallel axiom, but failed. The mathematician Porie engaged in the parallel axiom that there is no success, eventually died a painful death in despair. While the problem like a bottomless pit, gobbling up the people's wisdom and gives nothing in return, LObachevsky after seven years of verification without results, find out the reasons of failure. LObachevsky after numerous failures, summarizes and analyzes the failure of the antecedents and consequences, from the understanding of the problem, which was a success. Thus, "failure is the mother of success" is an objective law, but really want to transition from failure to success may become a reality, but also must pass through the analysis of exploration and scientific constantly, draw lessons from failure, to guide future work, so it is not "in vain" failure.
Young people prone to failure in the work, also easy to lose heart, therefore, we only remember "failure is the mother of success." this saying, to establish a strong self-confidence, can see the hope from the disappointment, from failure to success.
"Failure is the mother of success" should not only be our favorite motto, it is more important to be our guide to action. "Bao Jianfeng from sharpen out, the plum blossom incense come from the bitter cold", benefit from the failure, rising from the hard work, this is the youth road.

Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.
About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.
While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails,but one who never quits.”
I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!
As it turned out, my dear old professor was right. Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!
Thank you.
