Wang Leehom Speech @Berklee College of Music - YouTube
王力巨集伯克利音樂學院演講
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 ...
我不知說什麼好了。我不知道這邊有一個帶麥克風的講臺。我還以為只要唱幾首歌就好了。不是說那不重要。
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，多麼大的一份榮譽。在這裡看著大家，我既誠惶誠恐，又激動萬分。
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.
重新回到這裡真的是…我為自己曾在此學習過而感到自豪。已經是16年前了，但是…我以前經常一個人在週末來到交響樂大廳，搶一些所謂的“趕急票”，來欣賞波士頓交響樂團的表演。
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.
這是我在伯克利學習生活的眾多亮點之一了，所以能來到這個臺上實屬不易。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，無論是環境還是設施。我還路過MP&E，那些工作室，一些設施，對了還有一個健身中心。我們那會兒可沒有這玩意兒。所以校方的努力非常的棒，謝謝你們，也祝賀你們。這是一個東西方在音樂、流行文化中交流的偉大時代。
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，無論你是音樂發燒友、未來的音樂人，還是未來專業的舞臺表演音樂家，就像Roger剛所說的，我們要成為大使，這一點非常重要。我們要成為溝通東西方的橋樑，成為和平的使者，我們要消除阻礙，把人和人連線起來。對了，跟大家說一件很激動人心的事情，昨天晚上在洛杉磯，我的好朋友成龍大哥成為了第一個獲得奧斯卡小金人的中國演員，就在昨天晚上。真的感謝大家今天來到這兒，這也是讓我做音樂的原因—把人連線起來。
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.
我對我寫的每一首歌都很喜歡，沒有不喜歡的。所以，各位音樂人，請跟隨自己的心，做自己愛做的事。如果你內心不認可的事情，那麼無論別人怎麼說，你都別動搖。作為一個音樂人，不這麼做是行不通的。
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.
最後，像老黃牛一樣工作，並且保持快樂。另外，我還想說，如果你不能把這份快樂跟你的朋友、家人分享的話，那麼所有的讚美都是沒有意義的。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·庫克杜蘭大學畢業典禮演講致詞
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！感謝菲茨校長、福爾曼教務長、尊敬的教職員工、其他教職員工[笑]以及整個杜蘭大家庭，包括為這個美麗的講堂做準備的工作人員、引座員和志願者。我覺得我有責任也稱讚一下在The Boot工作的辛勤的調酒師。雖然他們今天早上沒有和我們在一起，但我相信你們中的一些人也在反思他們的貢獻。[The Boot是一家受歡迎的大學酒吧，緊挨著杜蘭大學校園，已經存在了幾十年了。]
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裡也許還有肝臟裡有新奧爾良一樣，我們蘋果公司的一些人的血液裡也有新奧爾良。當我還是奧本大學的學生的時候，我們最喜歡的度假勝地是Big Easy。非常神奇的是，當你在週末開車駛向這個勝地，想象著甜甜圈和啤酒的時候，363英里的距離似乎一閃而過；而當你返程時，路途卻顯得那麼遙遠。蘋果的員工麗莎-傑克遜(LisaJackson)是一位令人驕傲的杜蘭大學校友。是。她把綠色浪潮一路帶到了庫比蒂諾，在那裡她領導著我們的環境和公共政策工作。我們很高興她能在我們的隊伍中發揮才華和進行領導。
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。讓我們談談你們。在這樣的時刻，看到一個社群聚集在一起傳道受業解惑，最後用一個聲音說，祝賀20xx年的同學們，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.
現在還有一個非常重要的群體：你們的家人和朋友。那些比任何人都更愛你們、更支援你們、甚至甘願自我犧牲的人，為了幫助你們達到這一時刻，他們付出了巨大的代價。讓我們為他們鼓掌。這將是我的第一條建議。直到你生命的後期，你們才會意識到這一刻對他們來說有多麼重要，或者意識到你們的義務、愛和責任有多麼重要。
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.
事實上，這就是我今天真正想和你們說的。在一個我們沉迷於記錄自己生活的世界裡，我們中的大多數人對我們彼此虧欠的東西沒有給予足夠的關注。這不僅僅是給你們的父母打更多的電話，儘管我相信如果你們會這麼做，他們會很感激的。當我們意識到我們可以在一起做更多的事情時，人類文明就開始了。當我們變得更越來越強大時，在閃爍的火光之外的威脅和危險就會變得越來越小。我們可以創造更多——更多的繁榮，更多的美，更多的智慧，更美好的生活——只要我們承認某些共同的真理並採取集體行動。
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. And you can't make it through someone's front door before they offer you a home-cooked meal.
也許我有偏見，但我一直認為南方，特別是墨西哥灣海岸，比大多數人更能堅持這一智慧。[庫克在阿拉巴馬州的羅伯茨代爾長大，那裡距離新奧爾良大約一個小時的路程，同樣靠近墨西哥灣。]在這個國家的這個地方，如果你們的鄰居有一段時間沒有你們的訊息，他們會忍不住來看望你們。好訊息傳得很快，因為你們的勝利也是他們的勝利。在他們提供一頓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.
也許你們還沒有想太多，但這些價值觀也影響了你們杜蘭大學的教育。看看這句座右銘：不是為了自己，而是為了自己人。你們很幸運地生活、學習和成長在一座城市裡，在這個城市裡，人類的潮流融合成了一種神奇的、意想不到的東西。在那裡，無與倫比的美，自然的美，文學的美，音樂的美，文化的美，似乎不期而至地從河口湧出。新奧爾良的人們使用兩種工具來建造這座城市：不太可能的和不可能的。無論你走到哪裡，都不要忘記這個地方的教訓。生活總會找到很多方法來告訴你，不，你不能，你不應該，如果你不去嘗試，你會過得更好。但是新奧爾良告訴我們，沒有什麼比嘗試更美麗和更有價值了。尤其是當我們這樣做不是為自己服務，而是為自己人服務的時候。
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.
對我來說，正是為了追求更偉大的目標，我才第一次來到蘋果。我曾在一家叫康柏(Compaq)的公司找到了一份舒適的工作，在當時看來，這份工作將永遠是的工作。事實證明，你們中的大多數人可能還太年輕，甚至不記得它的名字。但在1998年，史蒂夫-喬布斯說服我離開康柏，加入一家瀕臨破產的蘋果公司。他們製造電腦，但至少在那一刻，人們對購買這些電腦並不感興趣。史蒂夫有個改變一切的計劃。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，或者之後的一切，而是使這些發明創意復活的價值觀念。把強大的工具放在普通人手中將有助於釋放創造力和推動人類向前發展。我們可以建造一些東西來幫助我們想象一個更美好的世界，然後讓它成為現實。
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.
有句諺語說，如果你做你喜歡做的事，你的人生中將永遠不會有一天是在工作。在蘋果公司，我知道了這是一個徹頭徹尾的謊言。你會比你想象的更努力工作，但你卻一點也不覺得費勁。當你走進這個世界的時候，不要把時間浪費在已經解決的問題上。不要為別人所說的是實際的情況而心煩意亂。相反，引導你的船進入波濤洶湧的大海。尋找那些蠻荒之地，那些看起來還很難解決的問題，那些其他人樂於解決的複雜問題。在那些地方，你會找到你的目標。在那裡你可以做出你的貢獻。無論你做什麼，都不要犯太謹慎的錯誤。不要以為原地不動，地面就不會在你腳下移動。現狀根本不會持久。所以開始做些更好的事吧。
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，我們這代人辜負了你們。我們花了太多時間辯論。我們一直太專注於鬥爭，而沒有把足夠的注意力放在進步上。你不需要看太遠就能找到失敗的例子。今天，就在這個地方，在這個成千上萬人曾經絕望地躲避百年災難的地方，這種災難似乎變得越來越頻繁。我認為，如果我們不談論氣候變化，我們就無法談論我們是誰，以及我們彼此虧欠了什麼。
(applause) Thank you. Thank you.
謝謝！謝謝！
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.
這個問題不會因為誰勝誰負而變得簡單，這是一個關乎誰贏了人生彩票、誰有忽視這個問題的能力、誰會失去一切的問題。沿海社群，包括路易斯安那州的一些社群，已經在計劃離開世代以來被稱為“家園”的地方，前往更海拔更高地方。如今漁民的漁網空空如也、野生動物生計蕭條。對於生存在邊緣地區的人來說，自然災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.
問問杜蘭大學的莫莉·基奧（Molly Keogh）就知道了，她這個週末就要拿到博士學位了。她的一項重要新研究表明，海平面上升對路易斯安那州南部地區造成的破壞比任何人預想的都要嚴重。杜蘭大學的畢業生們，這些地方都是人們的家園、他們的生計、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.
當我們談論氣候變化或任何與人類成本有關的問題時，我有很多問題希望你們能夠著手去做：去尋找那些因此損失的人，並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。當你這樣做的時候，政治上的喧囂就會平息下來，你會感到自己的腳牢牢地踩在了堅實的土地上。畢竟，我們從來不為巨魔建造紀念碑，也不會現在開創這個先例。
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.
如果你發現自己花在鬥爭上的時間比上班的時間還多。那麼停下來，問問自己誰能從所有這些混亂中受益。有些人想讓你相信，你能變得強大的方法，就是制服那些不同意你觀點的人，或者從一開始就不給他們機會表達自己的機會。他們想讓你相信，你能成就自己的方法就是摧毀對方。
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.
我們有時會忘記，我們先前存在的信念有其自身的引力。今天，某些演算法會把你已經知道、相信或喜歡的東西主動拉向你，而把其他的東西推開，但事情本不應該如此。然而在20xx年，睜開眼睛、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，還要有勇氣去聽。不僅僅是行動，而是要一起行動。
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.
有時候你會覺得機會對你不利、覺得這麼做不值得、覺得批評之聲太過頑固，亦或覺得問題太大（超出了自己的處理能力）。但是，解決我們當下問題的辦法首先就是在人類範疇內建立對今後工作的共同理解，並著手共同解決這一問題。至少，我們也應該放手一搏。
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。1932年，當時的美國經濟一落千丈，有1200萬人失業。傳統觀點認為，我們能做的就是撐過這段時間、等待，並希望情況會有所好轉。但當時政途冉冉升起的紐約州州長富蘭克林o羅斯福（Franklin Roosevelt，後就任美國第32任總統，美國曆連任超過兩屆的總統）拒絕等待。他敢於挑戰現狀，呼籲採取行動。他呼籲人們停止繼續抱有樂觀的想法，面對現實、齊心協力，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：“這個國家需要一些大膽、持續的嘗試。採取一種方法並加以嘗試是再正常不過的事情。如果失敗了，我們就承認失敗，然後再試一次。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."
這是一場對大學生的演講，他們擔心自己在一個不確定世界裡的未來。他（羅斯福）說：“你們的任務不是在世界上開闢自己的道路，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。這是一條前進的道路，從氣候變化到移民、從刑事司法改革到經濟機遇，我們都要以建設一個更美好世界的責任為動力。此前的年輕人一次又一次地改變了歷史的程序，現在是時候再次改變了。
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的緊迫性。大膽一些，因為沒有人能讓你感到弱小。勇敢一些，因為我們面臨的挑戰是巨大的，但你們將更加偉大。懂得感恩，因為已經有人為你們生活在的當下做出了犧牲，讓這一刻成為可能。你們擁有一對清澈的眼睛，人生的道路也還很長。在這個體育場，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，你可能會成功，也可能會失敗。但是，請讓改造世界成為你自己的人生工作，因為沒有什麼比為人類留下更好的東西更具價值。
Thank you very much, and congratulations class of 20xx!
非常感謝，祝賀20xx屆的畢業生們！
美聯儲主席伯克南普林斯頓大學畢業典禮演講稿中英雙語對照：
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."重返普林斯頓感覺不錯，很難相信，我離開校園赴華盛頓已經11年了。近期我向校方詢問了我的教職問題，回信稱：“很遺憾，普林斯頓收到很多更有才華的學者的求職信，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.我將在稍後獻上對畢業生的最美好祝願，首先我要恭喜在座的家長們。作為父母，我知道這年頭供孩子讀完大學不容易，數年前，我的一個同事有3個孩子畢業於普林斯頓，儘管他們夫妻都不畢業於此，但我的同事常說，從財政角度講，這如同每年買輛卡迪拉克，然後讓車墜崖。他總會補充說，他會毫不猶豫的選擇重新來過。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.這確實是做畢業典禮演講的合適場合，我認為，在這一講臺上，每個精神導師都受到過“十誡”的教誨，我沒有那樣的信心，而且無論無何，覬覦鄰居的驢牛已不是目前的問題，所以今年前幾分鐘我將提出“十個建議”，或稱為對這個世界和你們畢業後的生活的十個觀察。請注意，這十點與利率毫無關係。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外，理由和你們討厭的哥哥姐姐可以晚睡是一個道理：我比你們更老。以下內容均經受過生活的考驗，但以往表現並不能確保未來的結果。
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。人生確實難以預料，任何一個認為知道其10年後情況的畢業生，更不同說三十年了，我只能說他或她缺乏想象力。看看我吧，12年前我一心教經濟學入門課程，想著編造什麼理由不參加教學會議，結果我接到了那個電話。有過你有機會與畢業25年、30年或40年的校友交談，並使他們敞開心扉，他們將告訴你，他們對生活中哪些事滿意或不滿意，他們經歷過的高潮和低谷。但我敢打賭，他們的人生故事將與預期相異。這是好事而不是壞事，誰想在故事的開篇就知道結局呢？
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，意味著小的決定和行動無足輕重，不需要規劃和奮鬥呢？當然不是。無論未來人生如何，她將是一個巨集大和漫長的專案，是你作為個人 的發展過程。你的家人、朋友和你在普林斯頓的時光已經為你造就了良好的開端，未來你會如何？你會不斷學習、竭力思索、對至關重要的問題持批判態度嗎？你會 成為情感上更強大、更大度、更有愛心、更道德的人嗎？你會更積極的、更建設性的參與世事嗎？你的人生會有很多故事，快樂的，及不太快樂的，如果你不為自己 感到快樂，就連最偉大的成就業也不會讓你感到滿足。
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的人，他們在家庭支援、鼓勵上，或在收入上也是最幸運的，他們在教育和職業機遇 上最幸運，他們在很多方面都最幸運，一般人難以複製。一個精英體制是否公平，要看這些精英是否有義務努力工作、致力於建設更好的世界，並與他人分享幸運。
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、誰值得尊重？是那些充分利用其優勢，或勇敢面對逆境的人。我想我們會認同，那些雖然接受的正式教育不多，但誠實勞動、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性行動的更糟糕的替代品。當然，利益、金錢和意識形態都有影響力，如你在政治課上所學。但我的感受是大部分政界人士 都在尋求做正確的事情，大部分時候，這由他們的觀點和意識決定。在複雜及難於處理的問題上所犯的誠實錯誤，更是糟糕結果的主要原因，而非不良動機。因此， 華盛頓最有影響的力量是觀念和想法，人們基於這些觀念去行動。公共服務並不輕鬆，如果你選擇了這一道路，那是值得的，並頗具挑戰性。
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、經濟學是頗具詭辯性的思維領域，她在解釋決策者以往所犯錯誤方面顯得很崇高，但在預測未來時，則不僅如此。然而，謹慎的經濟分析確有重要益處，她能去除那些不合邏輯或與資料不符的想法，這對90%的經濟政策建議有影響。
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、我不會告訴你們金錢無用，反正你們也不會聽的。事實上，對全球很多人來說，金錢能夠決定生存還是死亡。但如果你屬於那些幸運得有能力進行抉擇的少數人，請記住，金錢只是途徑，而非最終目標。職業選擇基於收入、而非熱愛，或做出貢獻的熱情，是日後苦惱的根源。
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、沒有人希望失敗，但失敗是生活和學習的一部分。如果你衣衫整齊，你並沒有進入比賽。
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、 我希望你們能夠發展自身對成功的定義，在這一過程中，你們能夠選擇一位親密的伴侶。在做出選擇時，要記住外表美只是人類演變的一種方式，它使我們確信對方 沒有腸道寄生蟲。不要誤解我，我也為美麗、浪漫和性所吸引，不然美國影視業和廣告業怎麼生存下去呢？但儘管重要，這些不是尋找人生伴侶時需要考慮的事 情。你們將共同走過人生旅程，需要對方的支援和關愛。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、時不時的給父母去個電話。早晚有一天，你希望自己長大成人的、工作繁忙的、超級成功的孩子給你來個電話，再者，請記著誰供養你上的大學。
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.最後，畢業生們，給他們點顏色看看。
The love between family members is precious only when we areparted, love between my father and me is clearer,only
when it is conducted by a three-thousand-kilometre-long phone line,and onlythen the bad time when we had some argument between us. These past few years,Ifelt regret for not understanding my Dad for so only I were a good boy!My Dad didn't demand that I should be very good at studying, just hopedthat I could live my life,he sets a good example for me andteaches me how to study,how to be a good man and how to live in the world!

My Attitude towards to Marks 我的分數觀
For our students， marks is above everything. Teachers will judge us from our marks. With marks we can be enrolled into junior middle schools. With marks， we can be enrolled into senior middle schools. With marks we can be enrolled into college. With marks we can be enrolled into postgraduate and doctrine studies. Still with marks we can be graded and be allowed to go abroad for further studies. Our parents will be strict with us with the marks. Our society judge us from marks. However， sometimes we students compare one another with marks directly. We are completely controlled by marks. We like them and we feel sorry for them. But what attitude towards our marks should we take？
Truly， marks functions cannot be underestimated. In terms of test in our study， marks are fair and real. That is the reason why we say ＂Everyone is equal before marks. ＂
However， I think marks are the sole standard to judge the success or failure of students in exams. Sometimes， marks more than ten or less than one or two in our exams comparing with others mean not everything. The success or failure in exams will be influenced by experience on the spot and the examinee’s health etc. Once in a while one cannot fail in exams. ＂ Success or failure is common sense for military. ＂ I think everyone is familiar with the famous saying. Don’t you think such will be the case with our study？ In exams， one cannot be ＂ never-defeated general＂ . Even though one will be very good in everyday study， he cannot succeed in every exam sometimes. We can get proof from the fact that the very best one we call ＂Number One Scholar＂ in the entrance exams for college and ordinary middle school and specialized secondary school over the years is not eminent above all others nor top student in every study.
As a matter of fact， ＂high marks＂ and ＂ability＂ are not unified. Some time ago， a new phrase ＂ high marks but poor competence＂ came into being. Once I happened to meet such a teacher as this is said that the teacher just graduated from a far-famed key university. But his teaching result is much less than that of the one who just graduated from a not-well-renowned college. When lecturing， the teacher only repeated what the text-books says， which was very dull so the his students’ interest in learning was not aroused. His teaching was short of unity of teaching and learning. At present there is a fact that we know a few brilliant and top college graduates are not qualified for their posts. The reason for it may be lack of the ability to combine knowledge learnt from books with pragmatics in their work. Students of this kind will be successful in every exam but they will be able to use freely their knowledge in their posts. Don’t you think it waste training such persons for the country？
To sum up from the above， I can say marks are not absolutely authoritative for some. If we neglect training and developing the students’ ability and competence and if we only seek for the high marks， we will be absolutely wrong. We should take an objective attitude towards the marks. Neither should we neglect them nor should we overvalue them like a God.
分數，對於我們學生來說，是至關重要的了。老師要用分數來衡量我們—上國中，要分數；上高中，要分數；上大學要分數，考研究生、博士要分數，出國、評職稱還是要分數。家長要用分數來要求我們；社會用分數來衡量我們。
而我們自己也常常用分數在相互直接做著攀比。我們完全為分數所左右了，我們為它歡喜，我們為它喪氣。那麼，我們應該怎樣對待分數呢？
的確，分數有它不可低估的作用。從檢驗學習的角度上來說，它具有一定的公平性和真實性，“分數面前人人平等”，講的就是這個道理。然而，分數並不是估量一個學生成敗得失的惟一標準。考試成績偶爾低了一兩分乃至十來分，並不一定說明什麼問題。考試的成敗有時也會受到諸如臨場經驗、健康狀況等方面的影響。“勝敗乃是兵家常事”這句話大概不會有人不知道，而我們在學習上又何嘗不如此？在考試上很少有“常勝之師”，即使平時成績再好的同學，也難免會有偶爾的失誤。歷屆會考、大學聯考“狀元”並非就是平時出類拔萃的優等生的事實，便是明證。
事實上，“高分”與“能力”往往是不統一的。前段時間，社會上出現了一個新詞：“高分低能”。筆者就曾經碰見這樣一位教師，據說他畢業於某赫赫有名的重點大學，但從教學效果上講，卻遠遠遜色於一些非高等學府畢業的老師。其授課只是照本宣讀而已，枯燥乏味，缺乏一種教與學之間的協調功能。根本不能引起聽課同學的興趣，目前不少大中專院校的高材生畢業後不能勝任他們的工作，原因就在於缺少將書本中的知識運用到實際工作中去的能力。這種人，儘管在學校中每每能考出高分，可無法在工作崗位上靈活白如地運用自己所學到的知識。國家培養出這樣的“人材”，不也是一種浪費嗎？
由此可見，分數並不如有些人想象得那麼絕對和，忽視了對各方面才能的培養，只一味追求高分，是不行的。因此，我們應該客觀地去看待分數，既不應過分輕視它，也沒有必要把它看得過於神聖。

Beggars are one of the most familiar groups in every city. They accompany us from our childhood until now, and I've found both the beggars and I change in this journey.
Years ago as a little girl, when I came across some old and disabled beggars on the road, I'd donate some pocket money to them, happily thinking I was helping.
s I have grown older, I've found the number of beggars has grown larger and they are more diverse. They appear in every corner of the city, on the overbridge, on the street, near restaurants, and even at your door. In contrast with the old days, it seems like the situation with beggars today is more complicated, which has made me hesitate before deciding whether to help them or not.
It's hard for me to give them money considering some who appear beggars in day time but dress up and go to fancy restaurants at night; and some who are controlled by some illegal organization and the money they get all goes to the organization. If I help them, I'd be making the problem worse, I'd be doing harm to the society, indirectly. But it's also hard not to give them money, considering there're real beggars who really need help. If I don't help them, who will? And where is my sympathy?
What hurts me the most is not how hard it is to distinguish the real help-seekers from the many false ones, but that some children are forced by adults, sometimes even their parents, to beg. They grow up despised by the world, out of mainstream society. When I see their eyes filled with desperation and impudence instead of purity and innocence, my heart sinks. We don't know how they will face the world when they grow up, how this will shape their characters, and what they may do to the society, to perpetuate this cycle of violence.
Months ago the Fu Jian government has promulgated a new policy to deal with 8 kinds of beggars. An internet survey shows that over 80% of voters reacted positively toward the policy. We know that one single policy cannot solve a problem as complex as this one, but we do look forward to some improvement. I wish all humanity can live like human.
今日乞丐
在城市中，乞丐是我們最熟悉的群體之一。他們伴隨著我們的成長，從童年直到現在。在這個過程中，我發現，乞丐和我都在變。
小時候，每當看到路旁的乞丐，通常是老人或殘疾人，我會給他們一些零錢，並且高興地認為我幫了他們。
長大後，我發現身邊乞丐的數量有所增加，而且他們種類繁多。他們無所不在，天橋上，大街上，飯館旁，家門口，城市中處處是他們的身影。比起過去，今天的乞丐似乎更加複雜，使得我在決定幫不幫他們的時候猶豫不決。
想到那些白天裝作乞丐行乞，而夜晚換裝後跑到賓館作樂的人;想到那些被不法集團控制，然後把乞討來的錢上交給集團的人，我真的很難做到給他們錢。可是，想到那些真正需要幫助的乞丐，又很難做到不幫他們。如果不幫他們，我的同情心死到哪去了?
最讓我難受的，並不是因為從眾多的假乞丐中找出真乞丐是多麼的困難，而是那些被成人，甚至被父母教唆，去乞討的孩子們。他們在歧視中長大，和主流社會脫離。當我看到他們眼睛裡本應有的純真和童稚被絕望和無恥取代時，心裡便很難受。我們不知道他們長大後會怎樣面對這個世界，他們的性格會被童年的經歷塑造成什麼樣子，以及他們有可能對社會做出怎樣的事情---讓惡性迴圈繼續?
幾個月前，福建省頒佈了一項針對八類乞丐的新政策。網上調查顯示，超過80%的人對此政策持樂觀態度。雖然如此複雜的問題不能通過單單一項政策得以解決，我們還是期待著一些改善。願所有的人都能像人一樣活著。
Chinese cities should close schools, cut working hours and stop outdoor activities during the most severe spells of air pollution, the ministry of environmental protection has said.
"Every possible compulsory measure" must be taken to cut emissions during the heaviest smog – including suspending factory production and imposing traffic restrictions.
The ministry's guidelines, issued in a circular, come as China grapples with frequent choking smog in its big cities, a consequence of years of breakneck economic growth that has fuelled public anger.
State media recently reported that an eight-year-old girl who lived near a busy thoroughfare in the coastal province of Jiangsu had been diagnosed with lung cancer. The case of the girl, believed to be the country's youngest lung cancer patient, has sparked a public outcry.
Despite frequent calls for cutting pollution over recent years, and growing public anger, the problem has only got worse. Schools and workplaces typically operate as normal in all but the most severe smog, even when it reaches hazardous levels.
Primary and middle schools suspended classes last month in the north-east city of Harbin during a smog emergency. The airport and some bus routes were also closed.
China must also toughen anti-pollution measures on industry and reduce its dependence on coal, which produces more than three-quarters of the country's electricity, the environment ministry said.
Public security departments should also toughen checks on vehicles, including phasing out older ones, and ensure there are not too many on the roads, it said.
China said in September it would slash coal consumption and shut down polluting mills, factories and smelters, though experts have said implementing the measures would prove difficult.
Air pollution is expected to worsen this winter because of a chronic natural gas shortage.
what would you do if you failed? many people may choose to give ver, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to yourgoal.
on your way to success, you must keep your direction. it is just like alamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your rwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
direction means objectives. you can get nowhere without an objective inlife.
you can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieveit. in this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your timeproperly. and you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as longas you keep your direction all the time.
堅持你的方向
如果失敗了你會怎麼做?很多人可能會選擇放棄。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是堅持你的方向和目標。
在通往成功的路上，你必須堅持你的方向。它就像一盞燈，在黑暗中為你指路，幫助你度過難關。否則，你很容易就會迷失方向或猶豫不前。
方向意味著目標。人生如果沒有目標，將一事無成。
你可以試著把你的目標寫在紙上，並制定實現目標的計劃。這樣，你就會懂得如何合理安排時間，如何正確地支配時間。而且你還要有這樣的信念：只要你一直堅持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。
Which Is More Important: Knowledge from Books or
Knowledge from Experience
As we know, most knowledge we have comes from two sources: the books orpersonal experience in our daily life. Each one has its advantage. Maybe somepeople think that book knowledge is more important than experience ver, I am strongly against their opinion. I consider that experience is moreuseful.
Firstly, practical experience can help us find jobs successful. There aretwo kinds of people: experienced employees and college graduates, if you are amanager, which one do you prefer? There is no doubt that you will choose theexperienced employees. Because they have more practical knowledge, theyunderstand what their companies needs and how to make profit for theircompanies. Some college graduates have learned much book knowledge, but theycan’t take advantage of these theories effectively. Therefore, many companiesare not willing to employ graduates. This phenomenon tells us experience is moreimportant for us to find good jobs.
Secondly, experience can give us more impressed knowledge. It’s said thatone learn by doing, if you want to make advances, it’s necessary to over, we learn how to get along with others or how to have self-respect fromexperience. We feel happy and sorrow directly from experience. The preciousknowledge absolutely can’t get from books.
Thirdly, our country’s development depends on innovation, which comes fromexperimentation. Comparing Chinese education system with American’s, we knowthat Chinese education usually pay more attention to scores students get andneglect their ability of innovation. On the contrary, American educationemphasizes personal practice, that’s the reason why the progress of Americantechnology is so rapid. The contrast reminds us of the importance of experienceknowledge.
Needless to say both learning sources have their own advantages. But in myopinion, experience knowledge is more important, because without practicalexperience, it’s impossible to get a real understanding of book knowledge, andto know how to apply this knowledge to real situations.
“ We are made wise not by the recollections of the past but by our responsibility for the future”
----George Bernard Shaw
China is faced with some enormous challenges as it enters the 21st century. In order to ensure the prosperity of our nation and its future generations we must confront and ultimately solve these challenges.
Some of the more pressing issues facing China are universal. These include environmental degradation, over population andthe effects of globalization.
To overcome some of the things we need to implement include:
Enhancing our scientific and industrial technologies in such areas as IT, Bio- tech, AI and Cybernetics.
Further develop public infrastructure in under developed regions.
Promote education reform at all levels.
Introduce sustainable development initiatives.
The implementation of free trade agreement between China and ASEAN.
The benefit to China in introducing these initiatives will be significant and far-reaching. It is important to realize that these initiatives need to filter down through all elements of the society in China. For instance, cutting edge technologies and intellectual properties; the development of e-commerce based economy; an education system that encourages innovation and creativity; increased foreign investment; higher living standards; more efficient use of natural resources.
It is important for us to realize these reforms are both essential and necessary. These will help China to fulfill its vast and unrealized potential on the world stage. It will also contribute more to a globalized world of the new century.
As for the future our task is not to foresee but to enable.
The first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady tous.
"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later. She jokinglyreplied, " I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple ofchildren, and then retire and travel."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivatedher to betaking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a collegeeducation and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we wouldleave class together and tolk nonstop. I was always listening to this "timemachine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to make a speech to our footballteam. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she began to deliverher preparedspeech, she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she simplysaid, "I'm sorry. This whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back inorder so let me just tell you what I know." As we laughed she cleared her throatand began:" We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because westop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, andachieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got tohave a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walkingaround who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference betweengrowing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed forone full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years ody can grow older. That doesn't take any talentor ability. The idea is togrow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. Theelderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we didnot do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree. One week aftergraduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college studentsattended her funeral to honorthe wonderful woman who taught by example that it'snever too late to be all you can possibly be.
開學第一天，教授把一位小個子老太太介紹給了我們。
隨後我問道，“你為什麼這麼“年輕”還來讀大學?”她開玩笑地回答：“我來這兒是為了認識一個有錢的丈夫，結婚，生幾個孩子，然後退休去旅行。”
“不，認真點兒。”我問道。我很好奇，到底是什麼東西讓她在這個年紀還要接受這樣一個挑戰。“我一直夢想著上大學，現在我就在讀大學!”她告訴我。
我們馬上成了朋友。在隨後的三個月裡，我們每天一起離開教室，不停地交談。我總是和歷經了歲月滄桑的她一起分享她的智慧和經驗。
期末的時候，我們邀請羅斯給我們的橄欖球隊講話。我永遠都不會忘記她教給我們的東西。就在她要開始進行她事先準備好的演講時，她把寫了要點的卡片掉在了地上。她有點兒尷尬，但只是說，“對不起。這酒可真要命!我沒辦法再準備好我的講稿了，就讓我把我知道的東西告訴你們吧。”我們笑了起來，她清了清嗓子，開始演講：“我們並不是因為年老就不再玩耍;我們變老是因為我們不再玩耍。只有四個祕密可以讓你保持年輕，快樂，獲得成功。你必須每天都開懷大笑，尋找幽默。你必須有一個夢想。失去了夢想，你就會雖生猶死。我們周圍有很多人，他們已經‘死了’，自己卻不知道。成長和長大之間有著巨大的差距。如果你現在19歲，躺在床上整整一年什麼都不做，你也還會變成20歲。每一個人都會長大，這不需要任何天賦和能力。要不斷地在變化中尋找機遇，這樣才是成長。
不要留有遺憾。老年人通常不會為做過的事遺憾，而是為還沒有做過的事情感到遺憾。只有那些有遺憾的人才會怕死。”
年底的時候，羅斯獲得了大學學位。畢業一星期後，她在夢中安詳地離開了人世。兩千多名大學生參加了她的葬禮，來紀念這位通過自己的親身經歷來告訴我們永遠都可以成就自己的理想的了不起的老人。
There is no perfect individual only perfect team. A philosopher once asked "how can a drop of water does not dry?" And the philosopher answered saying "put it in the sea." This short dialogue also reveals a profound truth: between individuals and others to support each other the only support from the team or others will have infinite strength. If without the support of others to you there is no group of policy strength of each member of the team we will not be able to overcome the heavy obstacles through behing XianGuan. Left the team even though you pulled out all the stops in front of difficulties will eventually be exhausted one day.
One day I on the way home suddenly the heavy rain. People ran forward a look at a hut we rush in under the heavy rain everyone very happy: "wow lucky today just looking for a house heavy rain is coming!" You also don't concern house do not clean as long as there is like a shelter. But the house in the wind and rain to fall suddenly everyone try their best to hold it don't let it fall. I have a lot of regrets is that we need a house or a house needs us? I see more is that we need to the house.
We identify center like this hut "such" for everyone. But at the same time also need to each of us has done his duty gave his strength she could only stand in the storm of the fierce market competition become a one hundred - year - old built to last.
Finally let's went up from the structure of the "people" word comprehension with a grateful heart to treat people and things around so the world will be because every one of us and wonderful every one of us will become successful because the support of others. Our testing center although also gone through a journey of more than 10 years of wind and rain in the middle across a number of obstacles can go today because no matter how much difficulty the leadership of the center and we are together forever! We as young people should be more so choose one for their own development team to find a sense of belonging put their own value their mission their future combined with social trends national interests on this basis take root and grow in the team become the social people the backbone of the country.
Believe you strategic vision believe your choice. In the provincial professional skill appraisal center this family you will get a personal development space and the most warm harbor. Is because of you to join professional appraisal will go to tomorrow's brilliant career let us all together!
Thank you all!

Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat. 許多野生動物正面臨絕種的危險，因為它們生活的環境發生了極大的變化。例如，隨著城市的發展，殺蟲劑的使用和嚴重的汙染，他們的生活區域變得越來越狹小。許多野生動物，現在面臨糧食危機。同時，人類正在屠殺野生動物只是為了獲得它們的皮毛，面板，角，牙齒和肉。
In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.
為了保護生態資源，人們應該意識到任何物種的缺失，至少意味著知識資源和自然美的缺失。因此，本應採取以下措施：制訂汙染標準以降低有毒物質;嚴禁殺害某些稀有物種;應建立國家公園作為野生動物，保護區。
Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.
我們只有採取一些有力措施，才能保護野生動物。
autumn is lovely. it is the season of harvest. there are many oranges on the trees on tianping mountain. they were smiling at our arrival.
on the 12th november, , we came to the orange garden and saw many lovely oranges. some of them were not fully ripe, so their peels were green like small bells or lanterns. how beautiful! when i picked oranges, i needed to use force to pull them down. they seemed as if they were not willing to leave their mums—the orange trees. the oranges were big and round. their peels were very thin. we tasted a section of the orange. it was sweet and a slightly sour. i feel that suzhou has really good mountains, good water and good scenery!
through this autumn outing, i experienced the happiness of harvest and the hardness of labor.
Dear leaders, teachers and students：
Good evening,everyone!
Falling leaves and returning to their roots, that is to be grateful for the cultivation of soil; The suckling sheep kneels down to the mother, which is to be grateful for the feeding of the ewe. The grace of parents' upbringing, teachers' education, the cultivation of the country and the care of friends all need us to cherish with our lives, thank with our sincere hearts and repay with practical actions. This is what I call gratitude, gratitude to others.
Gratitude is a basic conjecture of life, an embodiment of the quality of life and the basis for the beauty of all life. Gratitude is a great wisdom in life, which can make us feel the beauty of nature and life, maintain our positive, healthy and sunny state of mind, and have gratitude. We will be less picky about others and more appreciative and grateful to the environment.
If you are not grateful, happiness is far away;
If you will be grateful, happiness will be full.
Students, let's always be grateful; Cherish every gift of life, report to others with our true and beloved hearts, love the collective, contribute to the society, appreciate life and explore life!
Thank you!
Zoos should be banned.
Nowadays, lots of people start to realize that zoos are not a good place for animals. People need zoos because it is an easy way to close the animals and also because it's convenient for people to observe them. However, zoos are in fact a cruel place for animals. Animals should live in their natural habitat. An animal's natural instinct is to run and to hunt. But that's not for animals kept in zoos. Everyday, people feed them. They've never been taught how to hunt for food and will gradually lose their natures. That will be quite cruel for a animal, especially for wild animals such as tigers and lions. You can often find in zoos that a tiger kept in cage has a loose expression in its set animals in zoos and therefore feel that they won't meet danger and may be able to protect them from dying out. This may be just a excuse we find for ourselves to make animals in cages just as entertainment. We always say animals are our friends, then why we put our friends in cages?
needless to say， money is not very important， but very veryimportant.
if there is no money， i can’t use this microphone to speak to you andwecan’t have such a room to hold such a out money， we can’tstudyin such a out money， we can’t live in such outmoney， we can’t have such a the other hand， ifthere is no money，you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.
most of us have dreams about the future， dreams of having a good jobandmaking much ly someone has thought at times “if only i had a lotofmoney， i could be the happiest person in the world.” in fact it’s themainmistake that people make about money.
however， is money the road to happiness? not really! many people workeveryday， work overtime， work weekends to make a lot of they happy? are too busy making while， their personal lives， if theyhaveany， fall have no time to form or to maintain evenlose the abilities to relax and to enjoy ying meanstakingthings， taking time to see， to hear， to taste， to smell， to donottake time to do say: “i’ll do it when i have enough money toretire”then they find that it is too late. why we usually make such a mistakeandeven more mistakes? activists say it is because of money thinkmoney has changed many example， they think money has changed ourwayto measure someone’s value in the even regard money as thesourceof ， they hate money， but they are wrong， completely wrong.
in my opinion， it is unfair to y is a ， there’snodenying that we do something harmful with we can’t say money isthesource of like a hammer， we can use a hammer to kill someone， butcanwe say a hammer is a devil? it is the same with money.
money is neither good nor bad is a mirror， a perfect andimportantmirror， and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and thebrilliance other words， all depend on us.
so， my fellow students， ladies and gentlemen in the future， ask not whatwecan do for money， ask what money can do for us， ask what money can do toshowthe brilliance of use， we have the future; we are thefuture.
不用說，錢不是很重要，而是非常非常重要的。
如果沒有錢，我無法使用這個麥克風向大家講，我們不能有這樣一個房間召開這樣的競爭。沒有錢，我們不能在這樣的研究校園。沒有錢，我們不能生活在這樣的故鄉。沒有錢，我們不能有這樣的祖國。另一方面，如果沒有錢，你不需要承擔我的講話錢現在。
我們大多數人都對未來的夢想，夢想有一個良好的工作和決策的錢。當然有人認為，有時“如果我有很多錢，我可能是最幸福的人在世界上。”事實上，它的主要錯誤，人們作出關於金錢。
然而，就是金錢的道路上幸福嗎?不是真的!很多人每天上班，加班，工作週末作出了很多錢。他們是幸福嗎?第他們太忙著賺錢。與此同時，他們的個人生活，如果他們有任何，四分五裂。他們已經沒有時間去形式或保持友誼。他們甚至失去了能力的放鬆和享受。享受意味著外，抽空看到，聽到，品嚐，嗅覺，感覺。他們並不需要時間來做到這一點。他們說：“我會做到這一點，我有足夠的錢退休”，然後他們發現為時已晚。為什麼我們通常會提出這樣的錯誤，甚至更多的錯誤?活動人士說，這是因為金錢本身。他們認為，金錢改變了很多東西。例如，他們認為金錢改變了我們的方法來衡量人的價值在社會中。他們甚至把錢的來源邪惡。此外，他們憎恨金錢，但他們是錯誤的，完全錯誤的。
在我看來，這是不公平的錢。金錢是一種工具。嗯，有無可否認，我們做一些有害的金錢。但是，我們不能說，錢是罪惡的根源。就像一把錘子，我們可以用錘子殺死某人，但我們可以說錘子是魔鬼?這是同樣的錢。
錢是既不好也不壞本身。它是一面鏡子，是一個完美的和重要的一面鏡子，一面鏡子，映照出的黑暗和人性的光輝。換句話說，所有依賴於我們。
所以，我的同學，各位嘉賓，各位在未來，不要問我們能做些什麼的錢，什麼錢可以為我們做，什麼錢可以顯示人性的光輝。因為，我們的未來，我們是世界的未來。

if there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is theability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because theperson was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his nextundertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to it isn't defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeatthe guide and encouragement to success.
生活中如果有任何一個因素可以促進成功，那就是從挫折中受益的能力。我所瞭解的每一次達到的成功都是因為那個人能夠對挫折進行分析，在下一次工作中真正得益。如果混淆挫折和失敗，你就註定會真正失敗。因為不是挫折使你失敗，而是你自己拒絕從挫折中看到成功的方向和勇氣。關於挫折的英語作文
Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in thelife of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you doface it without humiliation, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, inother words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us forsuccess, but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling desire to you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more andmore tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction whichshould give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If youexploit the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more thanyou are capable of.
挫折並不可恥。在每個取得成功的人的生活中，挫折是家常便飯。但你一定要能夠面對挫折而不感到羞恥，能夠分析它並瞭解失敗的原因，否則挫折就是絕對的損失。換言之，挫折可以幫助解決它自身的起因。挫折不但可以為我們成功做好準備，而且沒有任何東西可以在我們的內心激發起如此強烈的想要成功的慾望。如果你讓一個嬰兒抓住一根竿子，然後試著把竿子抽出來，孩子就會越抓越緊，直到他們整個重量都依附於此。每次你被擊敗的時候，正是這同樣的反應會賦予你嶄新的更為巨大的力量。如果你能夠利用挫折帶來的這種力量，你就能夠用它來完成遠遠超乎你能力的目標。
a man who lived in a block of apartments thought it was raining and put hishead out the window to check. as he did so a glass eye fell into his hand.
he looked up to see where it came from in time to see a young woman lookingdown.
"is this yours?" he asked.
she said, "yes, could you bring it up?" and the man agreed.
on arrival she was profuse in her thanks and offered the man a drink. asshe was very attractive he agreed. shortly afterwards she said, "i'm about tohave dinner. there's plenty. would you like to join me?"
he readily accepted her offer and both enjoyed a lovely meal. as theevening was drawing to a close the lady said, "i've had a marvelous d you like to stay the night?"
the man hesitated then said, "do you act like this with every man youmeet?"
"no," she replied, "only those who catch my eye."
failure is so common in our life. no one can avoid it. when we fail in doing something, we often feel so depressed that we have no interest in other things. sometimes failure can also make us lose heart. therefore, no one wants to be a failure.
success is what we all hope for, because it can bring us a sense of pride and a good reputation. the moment we succeed, we always feel so proud, as if having everything in our hands. if one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will be famous and worshiped by others.
however, failure is the mother of success. one failure doesn’t mean you can never be successful. it depends on what we do to deal with failure. those who are always afraid of failure and can’t go through it will never win. but as long as we can get some lessons and experience from our failure, we’ll be sure to succeed.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, today, I would like to introduce mybeloved hometown—Inner Mongolia to all of you. It has been 57 years since thebirth of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on May 1st, 1947. Dominated by theMongolian nationality, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is located on thenorthern frontier of China. The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region occupies anarea of 1.18 million square kilometers and has a population of about 20 millionpeople who represent a score of different nationalities. Every time when peopletalk about Inner Mongolia, they’ll come down to the vast grassland. Yes, theInner Mongolian prairie area makes up a quarter of the total grassland area ofthe country. On the boundless expanse of the Inner Mongolian prairie are livingnumerous sheep, Cattle and horses, on which our Mongolian have lived forgenerations. That is why the grassland is eulogized as “cradle of life”. Thereare two vast grasslands in my hometown—Hulun Buir Grasslands and Xilin GolGrasslands which are both world-famous regions. People in Inner Mongolia arefamous for their bravery, enthusiasm and hospitality. No mater where you arefrom, as long as you come to a herdsman’s house, you will be warmly entertainedwith roasted whole lamb and milk tea, and what’s more, you can also appreciatebeautiful Mongolian songs and elegant dances. It is not exaggerating to sayMongolians are born singers and dancers. The moment you set your feet on thegrassland areas you will discover it is indeed a real land of songs anddances.
Today’s Inner Mongolia still maintains her ethnic characteristics and atthe dame time, she tries to keep pace with the development of the modern s is a worldwide well-known brand, Yili and Mengniu are both the famousdairy industries, which have greatly improved the living standard of ourMongolian people. And I’m sure, our Mongolian people will make great effort tocontribute to our hometown. As a college student, I know quite clearly that mymission is to master solid knowledge and one day do good to my belovedhometown.
早上好，女士們先生們，今天我想給大家介紹一下我的家鄉——內蒙古。內蒙古自治區區自1947年5月1日成立以來，已有57年的歷史了。坐落在中國北部邊陲的內蒙古自治區是一個以蒙古族為主的地區。它擁有118萬平方公里的土地面積，20__萬來自不同民族的人民共同居住在這裡。
每當人們談到內蒙古都會想到遼闊的草原，是的，內蒙古的草原面積佔全國總草原面積的1/4。成群的羊兒，牛兒和馬兒生活在這片無邊無際的草原上，是它們養育了世世代代的草原兒女，因此，草原也被讚頌為“生命的搖籃”。我們的家鄉有兩大世界著名的草原——呼倫貝爾大草原和錫林郭勒大草原。蒙古族是一個勇敢、熱情、好客的民族，如果你去到牧民的家裡，無論你來自哪兒，熱情的牧民都會用烤全羊和奶茶款待你，同時，你還可以欣賞到優美的蒙古族歌舞。蒙古族人民天生能歌善舞，這一點兒也不誇張，在你踏上草原的那一刻，你就會發現這確實是一片歌舞的海洋。
今天的內蒙古仍然保留著她的民族特色，同時，她還時刻緊跟時代的步伐。鄂爾多斯是聞名世界的知名品牌，伊利和蒙牛兩業集團是內蒙古經濟發展的支柱產業。我相信，草原人民一定會繼續努力為家鄉的發展做出貢獻，作為一名大學生，我會掌握好紮實的知識，回報我可愛的家鄉。
Class 7. WFLS. Am I too late to say it’s just like a dream come true?
Quite frankly, military training is tiring. I’ve been told a million times about how exhausted I would be as soon as I finished this grueling training, and I don’t have any objection about that. However, now, I’ve got an Yes and No! I mean, physically,Yes, I have sun-tanned skin right now and for the first time I loathe being under the sun. Not to mention my sore legs and back. But this is just the heads of the coin. Tails, which means mentally, No! My inability to find proper words to express my feelings seems more and more overwhelming. Incredible? Unbelievable? Marvellous? Extremely impeccable maybe? These words are pale in comparison to the big picture of my future life. It’s like unwittingly, you fall in love with a new group of people, you feel for everything, you fall for everything.
I don’t know if I am being sensitive here. I remember us sprint out the door to assemble because we are running late. I remember us complaining about the miserable food when it’s time for lunch. I remember us sitting weirdly comfortable in a cool dark place when other classes were sweating. I remember us sharing jaw-dropping details about our lives and feel connected to others. I remember all those moments of rapture and ecstasy, all those senses of déjà vu, all those smiles of genuine happiness.
It’s like suddenly, I am no longer a prosaic girl living a plain life. It’s been a long time since the last time I didn’t regard myself as a catastrophe. As a lonely strong hope for the future made me the girl on fire. As I spoke with some friends of my pastimes and passions, words of such silky texture poured out from my soul with unparalleled candor and cadence. The voice that issued from my lips was at once richer, deeper, stronger than I had ever produced. It was as though an inner self, a core essence, had broken free and taken control. I broke out of my niche!
Anyway, I shouldn’t be too excited because it’s just five days. Even though I have already found some friends with extraordinarily similar interests as I do. Even though this is breaking news for me because I enjoyed be in this together finally. Even though the words of encouragements faded, I still recall them from time to time to taste it all over again. I swear I’m not severed from reality. Momentarily, it’s just impossible to describe all the details that happened during 5 days. I just need to speak all these things about how delighted I am to be in this class and try to be in tranquility…
I am a relatively total stranger to my new school. But it’s such a sensory bombardment for me even to think about it. I wanna be a part of something I don’t know. A fledging dragonfly is ready. I believe that the monarch will be crowned. May the best man win! You are gonna hear Class 7 ROAR!
Ps. I’d better start packing…
Money is indeed important, but money cannot buy everything. A miser maythink that “money talks,” but if you only give your attention to making money,you may lose many things, such as health, friendship and love. I don't think weshould regard money as everything. Money is just a tool that can help us solveproblems or enable us to live a comfortable life. What we should do is to use itappropriately and not become misers. This way, all of us can lead a happierlives.
錢確實是很重要的，但錢買不到所有的東西。守財奴可能認為“金錢萬能”，但是如果你只將注意力放在掙錢上，你將失去很多東西，例如，健康，友誼和愛。我認為我們不應該將金錢看作一切。錢僅僅是一個可以幫助我們解決問題和過更舒適的生活的工具。我們應該做的是如何正確的使用金錢，不要變成守財奴。這樣，我們才能過上幸福的生活。
I have a great mother. She cares much about me in my life and study.
