英语短篇美文励志摘抄
Sing the Melody Line in Your Life
奏出生命中最美的乐曲
Every era has its defining struggle and the fate of Africa is one of ours. It's not the only one, but in the history books it's easily going to make the top five---what we did or what we did not do. It's a proving ground, as I said earlier, for the idea of equality. But whether it's this or something else, I hope you'll pick a flight and get in it. Get your boots dirty. Get rough. Steel your courage with a final drink there at Somoky Joe's, one last primal scream and go.
每一个时代都有其特定的斗争使命,而我们的一个使命就是改变非洲的命运。这不是我们唯一的使命,但无论是对我们已经解决的或尚未解决的困难来说,这都被历史列为五大挑战之一。正如我之前说过的,非洲是平等理念的试验场。不管是什么原因,我都希望你们掀起这场斗争并为之奋斗。去感受苦难,去磨练你的意志,在斯莫基乔酒吧再饮上最后一杯,大喊一声,然后踏上征程。
Sing the melody line you hear in your own head Remember, you don't owe anybody any explanations. You don't owe your parents any explanations. You don't owe your professors any explanations. You know, I used to think that the future was solid, or fixed, or something you inherited like an old building that you move into when the previous generation moves out or gets chased out. But it's not. The future is not fixed. It's fluid. You can build your own building, or hut or condo, whatever. This is the metaphor part of the speech by the way.
唱出你心中最美的乐曲!记住,你无须向任何人解释,你无须向父母做出任何解释,你也无须向你的教授做出任何解择。我曾经认为未来是注定的、一成不变的,就像继承一座老房子,上一代搬出去或被逐出去,你们就可以搬进去。但事实并非如此。未来并非一成不变,而是可以改变的。你们可以建造自己的大楼或小棚子或公寓。顺便说一下,这只是今天致辞中的暗喻。
But my point is that the world is more malleable than you think and it's waiting for you to hammer it into shape. Now if I were a folksinger I'd immediately launch into "If I Had a Hammer" right now, get you all singing and swaying. But as I say I come from punk rock, so I'd rather have the bloody hammer right here in my fist. That's what this degree of yours is, a blunt instrument. So go forth and build something with it. And remember what John Adams said about Ben Franklin, "He does not hesitate at our boldest Measures but rather seems to think us too irresolute."
但我要说的是,世界比你们想象的更具可塑性,它正等待着你们把它塑造成型。现在,如果我是一名民间歌手,我就会立即开始唱《假如我有一把铁锤》,带领你们一起唱、一起跳。但如我所言,我是朋克乐队的一名歌手,我宁愿手中握着一把带血的铁锤。你们的学位不过算是一把不算锋利的武器,所以,向前冲吧!用它去铸造未来!记住约翰·亚当对本·富兰克林的评价:“对于我们最勇敢的行动,他毫不犹豫地响应,但似乎认为我们过于优柔寡断了。”

Passion + Perseverance = Possibility
激'情+坚持=可能性
There is no course on how to be a rock'n'roll star, but it was the only future I ever envisioned for myself. Looking back on it now, there was no logical reason to believe but I believed anyway. In my mind, I was going to be a musician. I knew it. I felt it. I believed it with every fiber of my being. It was probably a healthy combination of blind faith, naivete and passion that carried me toward my dream and that, if you take anything from my words here today, is what you should remember: passion+perseverance= possibility.
没有教你怎样成为摇滚明星的课程,但是,那是我对未来唯一的想象。现在回首往昔,这种信念毫无逻辑依据,但是无论如何我相信。在我的头脑中,我会成为一个音乐家。我知道,我能感觉到这一点。对此,我全心全意,坚信不疑。可能是这样一种盲目的信念、天真的想法和激情交织在一起大概是件好事,带领着我实现我的梦想,如果你们妥从我的演讲中获得什么收获,那么你应该记住的是:激情+坚持=可能。
Let me break it down.
让我分开讲解。
passion
激情
Passion is my favorite word. Nothing is more important than passion. Whatever you plan to pursue in life, whatever you do, be passionate about it. Not everyone is born into this world with the same advantages. It can seem preordained and unfair when others seem to have an easier time out there in the world than you. But just because someone is wearing a fancy pair of trainers doesn't mean they can run faster. Don't be intimidate by the competition Sometimes, the advantage is having to work twice as hard to accomplish your goal. The success is sweeter and the failure less bitter when you know you gave everything you have Remember it's passion, not pedigree that can, and will, win in the end. It's not your father's world anymore. It doesn't matter what the world expects from you. It's what do you expect of yourself. Others will put their expectations, both good and bad, upon you. Ignore them. Be true to yourself It's your life.
激情是我最喜欢的一个坷。没有什么比激情更重要。无论你在生命中追寻什么,无论你做什么,都要激情四射。并非每个人生来都有同样的优势。别人在世上好像比你活得潇洒时,你也许会觉得不公平。但是仅仅穿着一双华丽的运动鞋并不意味着他们可以比你跑得更快。不要畏惧竞争,有时候你的优势就是要加倍努力实现目标。但当你明白你已倾尽全力后,成功会变得更加甜蜜,而失败也不会那么苦涩。请记住,最终能让你获胜的是激情,而不是你的出身。你的人生不再是你父辈们的世界,这个世界对你有什么期望无关紧要,关键在于你对自己有何期盼。别人想要把他们那些或好或坏的期望强加在你身上,不用理睬他们。要忠于你自己。这是你自己的人生。

Follow Your Gut, and You will be a Huge Success
追随自己的心声,你们一定会成功
So, graduates, in closing, each of us has to stand in our own shoes, and the real question is how will you stand in your own? Will you stand in them with humility and compassion and integrity and courage? Well, I'm here to tell you, every day and every experience of your life will give you a chance to make that choice, It still happens to me, every day, all the time.
毕业生们,最后,我们总要穿上自己的鞋子去走自己的路,真正的问题是你们会选择怎样走呢?你们会不会带着谦卑、同情、正直和勇气走呢?今天在这里我想告诉你们,生命中的每一天,每次经历都会给你选择的机会。我也是每一天每一刻都面临着选择。
So it still happens every single day, decisions---decisions come my way that require me to decide who am I really, what am I really doing this for? Decisions that allow me to make a decision as to whether or not I will do the right thing or will I do the popular thing. So for every experience in life, you get a chance to know whether or not right or whether or not you'll follow the opinions of everyone else.
每天我都要做出决定,而这需要我自己选择我真正想成为什么样的人,我做这些真正为了什么。这些决定允许我自己决定是去做正确的事情,还是去做流行的事情。所以对于生命中的每次经历来说,你都有机会明白这么做是否正确,还是仅仅为迎合或不迎合别人的观点。
For me, it's all about following my gut. I am who I am because I trust my gut more than anyone else's opinion, and that is my best advice to you. You know what is right, and when everyone around you is telling you what you should do, what you shouldn't do, and when you... have to ask more than anybody other than yourself, you have to ask anyone other than yourself, it is your instinct, your higher self's way of saying, "Get still until you do know the answer, because your gut will never lead you wrong." Trust your gut to help you stand proudly in your own shoes, as you help others stand in theirs, and I know you will be a huge success. You have my warmest best wishes and my most heartfelt congratulations.
对我来说,我会追随自己的心声。我之所以是我,就是因为与别人的观点相比,我更相信自己的心声,这也是我给你们的最好的建议。你们知道什么是正确的,所以当身边有人告诉你们什么该做,什么不该做的时候,当你们不得不征求别人的意见而不问自己想法的时候,你们的直觉、你们的自我就会告诉你坚持做下去,直到自己弄清答案,因为你的心声不会带你走错路。"相信自己的心声,你才能自豪地穿上自己的鞋子走自己的路,如果你也能帮别人走他们自己的路,那你们定会大有作为。最后,将我最美好的祝愿送给你们,衷心祝贺你们。
