你們長(zhǎng)大后就會(huì)明白,對(duì)成功的定義是會(huì)改變的。你們中的許多人對(duì)成功的定義就是灌完20杯龍舌蘭烈酒。我認(rèn)為,你們生活中最重要的事情就是要活得誠(chéng)實(shí)正直,別屈從于同伴的壓力,把自己變成本不是的那個(gè)人。要活得誠(chéng)實(shí),有同情心,要在某個(gè)方面有所貢獻(xiàn)。
So to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. Don't give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don't take anyone's advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.
這是結(jié)論的結(jié)論,追隨熱情,忠于自我。永遠(yuǎn)不要追隨別人的腳步,除非你在森林里迷了路才能這么做,那時(shí)你真的該這么做。別給人忠告,它們會(huì)給你帶來(lái)麻煩。也別接受任何別人的忠告。那么我要給大家的忠告是,做真正的自己,一切都會(huì)順利的。
And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there's no need to worry.The economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine. It's gonna be great. You've already survived a hurricane. What else can happen to you? And as I mentioned before, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. Like, "Is it above sealevel?" .
我知道,在座的許多人都擔(dān)心自己的前途,但不用擔(dān)心。經(jīng)濟(jì)正在急速增長(zhǎng),就業(yè)市場(chǎng)極為廣闊,地球也好得很。一切都會(huì)好的。你們經(jīng)歷了颶風(fēng),還有什么害怕的呢?我之前說過,從最慘痛的經(jīng)歷中可以吸收很多教訓(xùn)?,F(xiàn)在你們知道在你們的第一次面試中改問什么樣的問題了吧?比如,公司高于海平面嗎?(紐奧良地勢(shì)低而淹水)
So to conclude my conclusion that I've previously concluded, in the common cement speech, I guess what I'm trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras. But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you'll have more beads thanyou know what to do with. And you'll be drunk, most of the time.
總結(jié)我之前的結(jié)論,我的“常見的水泥”演講,我想說的是,人生就像一場(chǎng)狂歡節(jié)嘉年華,但請(qǐng)展現(xiàn)你們的頭腦,而非胸部,如果人家欣賞的話你就有更多的金銀財(cái)寶可以使用,而且在大多數(shù)時(shí)間你都會(huì)醉。
So the Katrina class of 2009, I say congratulations and if you don't remember a thing I said today, remember this: you're gonna be ok, dum de dum dum dum, just dance.
因此,杜蘭大學(xué)2009屆的畢業(yè)生們,祝賀你們順利畢業(yè)!如果你們不記得我說過的任何話,請(qǐng)記住這句,一切都會(huì)好的,盡管跳舞吧!
