名校勵志英語演講 第73期:追隨自己的心聲,你們一定會成功

[00:00.03]One of my fondest memories of William, one time when he was a little boy, he was at my house, 我對威廉最深刻的一次記憶是在他還是個小男孩的時候。他當時在我家做客， [00:06.03]and I used to collect these antique museum quality Sharker boxes, 我過去常收集一些古董盒子， [00:13.37]and I walked into the room and William has my one of a kind Sharker boxes 我走進房間，看見威廉拿著我的一個古董盒子， [00:19.42]and he's stacking them up like Bric A Blocs and knocking them down and going, "Vroom." 把它們像堆積木一樣堆起來，然后再推到，還發(fā)出“嗚——嗚——”的聲音。 [00:27.37]And I yelled, just— I just started —I said, "No, William, stop!" 看見這個，我就開始大聲喊了起來，“威廉姆，停下來！” [00:34.14]I think I stunned the boy, because he wasn't used to anybody yelling at him, and he stopped, 我想我肯定把這孩子給嚇著了，因為他不習慣任何人對他大聲喊叫，他停了下來， [00:40.00]he put the boxes back on the shelf and he found where he found them and he did not say a word to me. He didn't even cry. 把盒子放回到架子上，一句話也沒跟我說。他甚至沒有哭。 [00:48.09]And a little later on, he goes up to his mom and he says,"Mom, Auntie O is mean. Can we go home?" 過了一會兒，他走到他媽媽那兒說，“媽媽，奧普拉阿姨太小氣了，咱們回家好嗎？” [00:58.52]Well， William, Auntei O has some news for you. You're getting those scratchedup boxes for your graduation gift. 威廉，奧普拉阿姨要告訴你一些消息。我將會把這些有抓痕的盒子作為畢業(yè)禮物送給你。 [01:07.43]You can knock them down all you want. 你想怎么推到它們都可以。 [01:09.14]But seriously, I don't know a better young man in the world than William Bumpus, 說實話，威廉·彭勃斯是我在這個世界上認識的最優(yōu)秀的年輕人。 [01:17.24]and thank you, Duke, for making him an even greater young man. 感謝杜克大學，讓他變得更加優(yōu)秀了。 [01:22.57]And I have to say he is so kind and do generous of spirit. 他真的很善良，很慷慨。威廉，我真希望有你這么一個兒子， [01:27.17]William, you're the son I wish I'd had, and I'm thrilled to be here for you. Love you, Willzer. 所以因為你我來到這里。我感覺很激動。愛你，威廉！
