(請?jiān)?，我并不是很相信吉米·斯圖爾特的故事。但是……) [00:12.52]"Years ago my mother used to say to me, 'In this world, Elwwod, you must be...she always used to call me Elwood... 他說：“多年前，母親曾經(jīng)對我說，‘埃爾伍德...她總是叫我埃爾伍德... [00:21.08]in this world, Elwwod, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.'" 活在這個(gè)世界上，你要么做一個(gè)聰明人，要么做一個(gè)好人。’ [00:27.11]Well, for years I was smart,...I recommend pleasant. You may quote me on that. ”我做聰明人， 已經(jīng)做了好多年了……但是，我推薦你們做好人。你們可以引用我這句話。 [00:36.52]My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. 我的第三個(gè)忠告是，當(dāng)你開始生活的新階段時(shí)，請追隨你的愛好。 [00:43.17]If you don't have a passion, don't be satisfied until you find one. 如果你沒有愛好，就去找，找不到絕不罷休。 [00:47.20]Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. 生命太短暫，所以不能空手走過，你必須對某樣?xùn)|西傾注你的深情。 [00:52.33]When I was in your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. 我在你們這個(gè)年齡，是超級的一根筋，我的目標(biāo)就是非成為物理學(xué)家不可。 [00:56.53]After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Barkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. 本科畢業(yè)后，我在加州大學(xué)伯克利分校又待了8年，讀完了研究 生，做完了博士后，然后去貝爾實(shí)驗(yàn)室待了9年。 [01:03.13]During that time, my centural focus and professional joy was physics. 在這些年中，我關(guān)注的中心和職業(yè)上的全部樂趣，都來自物理學(xué)。 [01:08.50]Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. 我還有最后一個(gè)忠告，興趣愛好固然重要，但是不應(yīng)是你的唯一目標(biāo)。 [01:16.48]When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. 當(dāng)你白發(fā)蒼蒼、垂垂老矣、回首人生時(shí)，你需要為自己做過的事感到自豪。 [01:23.10]The source of that pride won’t be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. 你所獲得的物質(zhì)財(cái)富和得到的榮譽(yù)都不是自豪的源泉。 [01:28.46]It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made. 只有那些受你影響、被你改變過的人和事，才會讓你感到自豪。
