不要被挫折和恐懼占據(jù)經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)演講稿
Commencement season is once again upon us and with that comes a flurry of leaders traversing the country to don the ceremonial cap and gown, all with the mission of imparting words of wisdom and lessons learned upon 20XX’s newly-minted grads. Universities may vie to land bold-faced names for their esteemed commencement speaker slots, yet even the most prestigious leaders have fallen short when it comes to inspiring a future generation of leaders thanks to addresses peppered more with formulaic life lessons than authentic personal reflections.
畢業(yè)季再次降臨我們身邊，眾多領(lǐng)導(dǎo)紛紛穿上畢業(yè)禮帽和禮服發(fā)表巡回演講，向20XX年新畢業(yè)生傳授智慧和經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)。大學(xué)競(jìng)相邀請(qǐng)名人來(lái)作為備受尊敬的畢業(yè)典禮演講嘉賓，然而，由于他們俗套的生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)較多，人生思考較少，即使最有聲望的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)在激勵(lì)下一代領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者時(shí)也會(huì)有所不足。
That’s certainly not the case with these 10 leaders from Forbes’ list of The World’s Most Powerful Women. Whether they’re sitting at the helm of multi-billion dollar corporations or reigning supreme in the world of fashion, these power women shared insights that have scaled far beyond the graduating classes for which they were intended.
當(dāng)然，對(duì)于以下十位出自福布斯全球權(quán)勢(shì)女性榜的人還說(shuō)絕對(duì)是例外。無(wú)論是在數(shù)十億美元的大公司做領(lǐng)導(dǎo)還是時(shí)尚界的主宰者，這些權(quán)勢(shì)女性分享了遠(yuǎn)超出畢業(yè)生期望的見(jiàn)解。

阿里安娜-赫芬頓——史密斯學(xué)院，20XX
Don’t buy society’s definition of success. Because it’s not working for anyone. It’s not working for women, it’s not working for men, it’s not working for polar bears, it’s not working for the cicadas that are apparently about to emerge and swarm us. It’s only truly working for thosse who make pharmaceuticals for stress, diabetes, heart disease, sleeplessness and high blood pressure.
不要相信社會(huì)對(duì)成功的定義。因?yàn)檫@對(duì)任何人都不靈。對(duì)女性沒(méi)用，對(duì)男性也沒(méi)用，對(duì)北極熊沒(méi)用，對(duì)我們身邊成群結(jié)隊(duì)的鳴蟬也沒(méi)用。這只對(duì)那些生產(chǎn)抗壓、糖尿病、心臟病、失眠和高血壓類(lèi)藥物的人有用。
2. J.K. Rowling — Harvard University, 2008
J.K.羅琳——哈佛大學(xué)，2008
The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.
你們從挫折中學(xué)到更高深、更強(qiáng)大的知識(shí)，隨后，你的生存能力將保護(hù)你的前行。在受逆境的考驗(yàn)前，你們將無(wú)法真正了解自己或者人際關(guān)系的力量。這種知識(shí)是真正的禮物，盡管它來(lái)之不易，而且對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，它的價(jià)值超過(guò)了我所獲得的任何證書(shū)。
3. Oprah Winfrey – Stanford University, 2008
奧普拉-溫弗瑞——斯坦福大學(xué)，2008
And how do you know when you’re doing something right? How do you know that? It feels so. What I know now is that feelings are really your GPS system for life. When you’re supposed to do something or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know. The trick is to learn to check your ego at the door and start checking your gut instead.
你們?cè)趺粗滥阕龅氖率钦_的呢？怎么知道呢？靠感覺(jué)�，F(xiàn)在我知道，感覺(jué)是你人生中的導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)。當(dāng)你認(rèn)為要做或不要做什么事時(shí)，你的情感導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)會(huì)指引你。訣竅是在開(kāi)始檢查你的意識(shí)，并審視你的直覺(jué)。

烏蘇拉-伯恩斯——哥倫比亞大學(xué)工程學(xué)院，2012
Doing good is not an “add on” but central to leading a rewarding life. As my Mother used to tell anyone who would listen, we all have an obligation to “put back” more than we “take out.” Leave more than you take — not a bad formula for true success.
做好事不是“附加物”，而是美滿(mǎn)生活的核心。我母親曾經(jīng)對(duì)愿意傾聽(tīng)的人說(shuō)，我們都有責(zé)任使我們的“回饋”多于“索取”。留下的比拿走的多——這對(duì)于真正的成功而言不是壞公式。
5. Anna Wintour — Fashion Institute of Technology, 2003
安娜-溫圖爾——時(shí)裝技術(shù)學(xué)院，2003
The way to start: with clarity and purpose and flair.
起步之道：清晰，決心，天賦。
6. Indra Nyooi – Miami University, 2011
因陀羅-盧英德——邁阿密大學(xué)，2011
Optimismisn’t a life plan, but it is a great tailwind to have at your back. And if you take advantage of that tailwind by doing what you love, striving for perfection, constantly learning, believing in yourself as well as believing in others, you are bound to conquer the world.
樂(lè)觀不是生活計(jì)劃，但它是你身后強(qiáng)大的推動(dòng)力。而且，如果你利用這種推動(dòng)力并做你喜歡做的事，努力做到盡善盡美，不斷學(xué)習(xí)，相信自己并相信他人，那么你必將征服世界。
7. Michelle Obama – University of California, Merced, 2009
米歇爾-奧巴 馬——加州大學(xué)默塞德分校，2009
“When times get tough and fear sets in, think of those people who paved the way for you and those who are counting on you to pave the way for them. Never let setbacks or fear dictate the course of your life. Hold on to the possibility and push beyond the fear.”
“當(dāng)形勢(shì)變得艱難、恐懼滋生時(shí)，想想那些為你鋪平道路的人和那些指望你為他們鋪平道路的人。永遠(yuǎn)不要讓挫折和恐懼占據(jù)你的人生之路。只要有可能，就要堅(jiān)持，把恐懼拋到腦后�！�
8. Sheryl Sandberg – Barnard College, 2011
雪莉-桑德伯格——巴納德學(xué)院，2011
Women almost never make one decision to leave the workforce. It doesn’t happen that way. They make small little decisions along the way that eventually lead them there….So, my heartfelt message to all of you is, and start thinking about this now, do not leave before you leave. Do not lean back; lean in. Put your foot on that gas pedal and keep it there until the day you have to make a decision, and then make a decision. That’s the only way, when that day comes, you’ll even have a decision to make.
女性幾乎從來(lái)不會(huì)主動(dòng)做出離職的決定。但事實(shí)并非如此。他們一路上做出了很多看似微不足道的、引起她們最終離職的決定……所以，我對(duì)你們各位的衷心建議，現(xiàn)在就開(kāi)始思考這個(gè)問(wèn)題，不要在離開(kāi)前才去想。不要退縮，要前進(jìn)。把腳踩在油門(mén)上，在你不得不做出決定的那天踩緊它，然后作出決定。這是那天到來(lái)時(shí)唯一的方法，你甚至將有決定可以做。
9. Angela Ahrendts – Ball State University, 2010
安吉拉-阿倫德茨——鮑爾州立大學(xué)，2010
So with the world at your fingertips, have you learned to listen to your heart, your intuition and your instincts?…Your heart is your guiding force, teach yourself to listen to it, nurture it, and let it guide as you start this next exciting chapter of life.
現(xiàn)在，你們即將踏入社會(huì)，你學(xué)會(huì)傾聽(tīng)你們的內(nèi)心、直覺(jué)和天性了嗎？……你的內(nèi)心是引導(dǎo)你們前行的力量，學(xué)會(huì)自己去傾聽(tīng)它、滋養(yǎng)它，并在你解開(kāi)生命中下一個(gè)激動(dòng)人心的篇章時(shí)，讓它引導(dǎo)你的前行。
10. Hillary Clinton — New York University, 2009
希拉里-克林頓——紐約大學(xué)，2009
There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together.
變革勢(shì)不可擋，變革必將來(lái)臨。去開(kāi)創(chuàng)我們的未來(lái)吧，讓我們無(wú)愧于將共同建立的世界。
