名校勵志英語演講 第3期:給大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的幾個忠告

[00:00.15]My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. 畢業(yè)典禮演講都遵循古典奏鳴曲的結(jié)構(gòu)，我的演講也不例外。 [00:04.11]The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. 剛才是第一樂章——輕快的閑談。接下來的第二樂章是送上門的忠告。 [00:08.15]This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. 這樣的忠告很少被重視，幾乎注定被忘記，永遠(yuǎn)不會被實(shí)踐。 [00:16.39]As Oscar Wilde said, “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. 但是，就像奧斯卡·王爾德說的：“對于忠告，你聽能做的，就是把它送給別人， [00:20.52]It is never of any use to oneself.”So, here comes the advice. 因?yàn)樗鼘δ銢]有任何用處?！彼?，下面是我的忠告。 [00:27.14]First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. 第一，每次慶祝你取得成就的時候，不要忘記所有助你一臂之力的人。 [00:32.30]Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, 要感謝你的父母和支持你的朋友，要感謝那些啟發(fā)過你的教授， [00:37.27]and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. 尤其是要感謝那些演講拙劣的教授，因?yàn)樗麄兤仁鼓阕詫W(xué)。 [00:46.08]Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success. 從長遠(yuǎn)看，自學(xué)能力是優(yōu)秀的文科教育中必不可少的，將成為你成功的關(guān)鍵。 [00:55.11]To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them. 你還要去擁抱你的同學(xué)，感謝他們同你進(jìn)行過的許多次徹夜長談，這為你的教育帶來了無法衡量的價值。 [01:02.04]Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you. 當(dāng)然，你還要感謝哈佛大學(xué)。不過即使你忘了這一點(diǎn)，校友會也會來提醒你。 [01:12.50]Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don’t bargain for the last, little advantage. 第二，在你們未來的人生中，做一個慷慨大方的人。在任何談判中，都把最后一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)利益留給對方， [01:21.17]Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that “credit” is not a conserved quantity. 不要把桌上的錢都拿走。在合作中，不要把榮譽(yù)留給自己。 [01:28.50]In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit. 成功合作的任何一方，都應(yīng)獲得全部榮譽(yù)的90%。
