偶像勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)演講 第115期:直面恐懼(2)
OK... Then... OK... take this speech and set it to music. Maybe inserts some crazy, kookygraphic. Star in that video yourself, post it on the web, and if it becomes a viral sensation,you'll be equal to any cat playing with a paper bag, any set of twin toodlers talking gibberish toeach other, as popular as a cute girl who says about Fridays, hey, you could be the next SamTsui.
或者，把我的演說(shuō)影片配上音樂(lè)，加幾個(gè)好笑的插畫(huà)，讓自己成為影片主角，放到網(wǎng)絡(luò)上，如果能吸引網(wǎng)友爭(zhēng)相點(diǎn)閱，那么，你就會(huì)像那只玩紙袋的貓、像那兩個(gè)蹣跚學(xué)步的雙胞胎小兒一樣，像那個(gè)說(shuō)“星期五”的漂亮女孩一樣瞬間暴紅。嘿，你甚至可以成為下個(gè)徐山姆!
Such are just one of the possibilities in our brave new world, the world you now inheritwhether you like it or not.
這就是我們勇敢的新世界的可能性之一，也正是你們即將接手、繼承的世界。無(wú)論你喜不喜歡。
The jig is up, the clock has run out and the Future, with a capital F, now rests with all of you,in your goofy hats, and all because you went to Yale.
時(shí)候已經(jīng)到了。這個(gè)世界的未來(lái)發(fā)展，就取決于你們要怎么做，因?yàn)槟銈兡盍艘敶髮W(xué)。
You are now the anointed!
你們重任在肩!
The Charge Holders!
你們面臨挑戰(zhàn)!
The best and brightest!
你們極具天賦!
Each of you is shining hope for our nation in the world. You are the new wizards who can finallymake sense of all the deltavectors and square-roots and divided-bys and the theorem that wecall the human race.
你們中的每個(gè)人都是我們國(guó)家未來(lái)的希望星火，你們將把我們視作人類高級(jí)智慧的那些三角向量、平方根、加減乘除和數(shù)理證明題賦予意義。
The generations before you came with to count a job-now it's your turn, welcome! You know Ionce had a friend who had a rich uncle who promised to pay for his college as long as my friendwished to stay in school, "You should stay in school just as long as you can," the rich unclesaid, "because when you get out of college, you've gotta work everyday for the rest of yourlife." And you all will come to understand what that rich uncle meant, just as surely as yousomeday wonder where the hell you put your reading glasses, and to yell on your kids to turnthat damn music down.
先人已經(jīng)賦予你們新的使命，現(xiàn)在輪到你們接下挑戰(zhàn)。我曾經(jīng)認(rèn)識(shí)一位朋友，他有一個(gè)很富有的叔叔，他的叔叔承諾只要他想在學(xué)校待著，他就會(huì)一直為他付學(xué)費(fèi)。他叔叔說(shuō)，“你應(yīng)該盡可能地待在學(xué)校里，因?yàn)槟阋怀鲂ｉT(mén)，工作便是你每一天都推不掉的事情。”當(dāng)你有一天找不著你的眼鏡，沖你的孩子們大喊著把那該死的音樂(lè)弄小點(diǎn)聲時(shí)，你們能深刻體會(huì)那位有錢(qián)叔叔的意思。
