朱棣文2009年哈佛大学演讲
朱棣文2009年哈佛大学演讲：未来并非在劫难逃 (中英文对照)【正文】Madam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today's graduates,Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you.I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not a billionaire, but at least I am a nerd.I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to me than you might care to imagine. You see, I was the academic black sheep of my family. My older brother has an M.D./Ph.D. from MIT and Harvard while my younger brother has a law degree from Harvard. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would be pleased. Not so. When I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, "That's nice, but when are you going to visit me next." Now, as the last brother with a degree from Harvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied.Another difficulty with giving a Harvard commencement address is that some of you may disapprove of the fact that I have borrowed material from previous speeches. I ask that you forgive me for two reasons.First, in order to have impact, it is important to deliver the same message more than once. In science, it is important to be the first person to make a discovery, but it is even more important to be the last person to make that discovery.Second, authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who graduated from Harvard at the age of 18, noted "All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients." Picasso declared "Good artists borrow. Great artists steal." Why should commencement speakers be held to a higher standard?I also want to point out the irony of speaking to graduates of an institution that would have rejected me, had I the chutzpah to apply. I am married to "Dean Jean," the former dean of admissions at Stanford. She assures me that she would have rejected me, if given the chance. When I showed her a draft of this speech, she objected strongly to my use of the word "rejected." She never rejected applicants; her letters stated that "we are unable to offer youadmission." I have difficulty understanding the difference. After all, deans of admissions of highly selective schools are in reality, "deans of rejection." Clearly, I have a lot to learn about marketing.My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, "The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself." So, here comes the advice. First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them. Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you. Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don't bargain for the last, little advantage. Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that "credit" is not a conserved quantity. In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.Jimmy Stewart, as Elwood P. Dowd in the movie "Harvey" got it exactly right. He said: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be ... she always used to call me Elwood ... in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.'" Well, for years I was smart. (I)recommend pleasant. You may quote me on that.My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don't have a passion, don't be satisfied until you find one. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics.Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won't be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.After nine years at Bell labs, I decided to leave that warm, cozy ivory tower for what I considered to be the "real world," a university. Bell Labs, to quote what was said about Mary Poppins, was "practically perfect in every way," but I wanted to leave behind something more than scientific articles. I wanted to teach and give birth to my own set of scientific children.Ted Geballe, a friend and distinguished colleague of mine at Stanford, who also went from Berkeley to Bell Labs to Stanford years earlier, described our motives best:"The best part of working at a university is the students. They come in fresh, enthusiastic, open to ideas, unscarred by the battles of life. They don't realize it, but they're the recipients of the best our society can offer. If a mind is ever free to be creative, that's the time. They come in believing textbooks are authoritative, but eventually they figure out that textbooks and professors don't know everything, and then they start to think on their own. Then, I begin learning from them."My students, post doctoral fellows, and the young researchers who worked with me at Bell Labs, Stanford, and Berkeley have been extraordinary. Over 30 former group members are now professors, many at the best research institutions in the world, including Harvard. I have learned much from them. Even now, in rare moments on weekends, the remaining members of my biophysics group meet with me in the ether world of cyberspace.I began teaching with the idea of giving back; I received more than I gave. This brings me to the final movement of this speech. It begins with a story about an extraordinary scientific discovery and a new dilemma that it poses. It's a call to arms and about making a difference.In the last several decades, our climate has been changing. Climate change is not new: the Earth went through six ice ages in the past 600,000 years. However, recent measurements show that the climate has begun to change rapidly. The size of the North Polar Ice Cap in the month of September is only half the size it was a mere 50 years ago. The sea level which been rising since direct measurements began in 1870 at a rate that is now five times faster than it was at the beginning of recorded measurements. Here's the remarkable scientific discovery. For the first time in human history, science is now making predictions of how our actions will affect the world 50 and 100 years from now. These changes are due to an increase in carbon dioxide put into the atmosphere since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The Earth has warmed up by roughly 0.8 degrees Celsius since the beginning of the Revolution. There is already approximately a 1 degree rise built into the system, even if we stop all greenhouse gas emissions today. Why? It will takedecades to warm up the deep oceans before the temperature reaches a new equilibrium.If the world continues on a business-as-usual path, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that there is a fifty-fifty chance the temperature will exceed 5 degrees by the end of this century. This increase may not sound like much, but let me remind you that during the last ice age, the world was only 6 degrees colder. During this time, most of Canada and the United States down to Ohio and Pennsylvania were covered year round by a glacier. A world 5 degrees warmer will be very different. The change will be so rapid that many species, including Humans, will have a hard time adapting. I've been told for example, that, in a much warmer world, insects were bigger. I wonder if this thing buzzing around is a precursor.We also face the specter of nonlinear "tipping points" that may cause much more severe changes. An example of a tipping point is the thawing of the permafrost. The permafrost contains immense amounts of frozen organic matter that have been accumulating for millennia. If the soil melts, microbes will spring to life and cause this debris to rot. The difference in biological activity below freezing and above freezing is something we are all familiar with. Frozen food remains edible for a very long time in the freezer, but once thawed, it spoils quickly. How much methane and carbon dioxide might be released from the rotting permafrost? If even a fraction of the carbon is released, it could be greater than all the greenhouse gases we have released to since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Once started, a runaway effect could occur.The climate problem is the unintended consequence of our success. We depend on fossil energy to keep our homes warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and lit at night; we use it to travel across town and across continents. Energy is a fundamental reason for the prosperity we enjoy, and we will not surrender this prosperity. The United States has 3 percent of the world population, and yet, we consume 25 percent of the energy. By contrast, there are 1.6 billion people who don't have access to electricity. Hundreds of millions of people still cook with twigs or dung. The life we enjoy may not be within the reach of the developing world, but it is within sight, and they want what we have.Here is the dilemma. How much are we willing to invest, as a world society, to mitigate the consequences of climate change that will not be realized for at least 100 years? Deeply rooted in all cultures, is the notion of generational responsibility. Parents work hard so that their children will have a better life. Climate change will affect the entire world, but our natural focus is on the welfare of our immediate families. Can we, as a world society, meet ourresponsibility to future generations?While I am worried, I am hopeful we will solve this problem. I became the director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in part because I wanted to enlist some of the best scientific minds to help battle against climate change. I was there only four and a half years, the shortest serving director in the 78-year history of the Lab, but when I left, a number of very exciting energy institutes at the Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley had been established.I am extremely privileged to be part of the Obama administration. If there ever was a time to help steer America and the world towards a path of sustainable energy, now is the time. The message the President is delivering is not one of doom and gloom, but of optimism and opportunity. I share this optimism. The task ahead is daunting, but we can and will succeed.We know some of the answers already. There are immediate and significant savings in energy efficiency and conservation. Energy efficiency is not just low-hanging fruit; it is fruit lying on the ground. For example, we have the potential to make buildings 80 percent more efficient with investments that will pay for themselves in less than 15 years. Buildings consume 40 percent of the energy we use, and a transition to energy efficient buildings will cut our carbon emissions by one-third.We are revving up the remarkable American innovation machine that will be the basis of a new American prosperity. We will invent much improved methods to harness the sun, the wind, nuclear power, and capture and sequester the carbon dioxide emitted from our power plants. Advanced bio-fuels and the electrification of personal vehicles make us less dependent on foreign oil.In the coming decades, we will almost certainly face higher oil prices and be in a carbon-constrained economy. We have the opportunity to lead in development of a new, industrial revolution. The great hockey player, Wayne Gretzky, when asked, how he positions himself on the ice, he replied," I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it's been." America should do the same.The Obama administration is laying a new foundation for a prosperous and sustainable energy future, but we don't have all of the answers. That's where you come in. In this address, I am asking you, the Harvard graduates, to join us. As our future intellectual leaders, take the time to learn more about what's at stake, and then act on that knowledge. As future scientists and engineers, I ask you to give us better technology solutions. As future economists and political scientists, I ask you to create better policy options. Asfuture business leaders, I ask that you make sustainability an integral part of your business.Finally, as humanists, I ask that you speak to our common humanity. One of the cruelest ironies about climate change is that the ones who will be hurt the most are the most innocent: the worlds poorest and those yet to be born.The coda to this last movement is borrowed from two humanists.The first quote is from Martin Luther King. He spoke on ending the war in Vietnam in 1967, but his message seems so fitting for today's climate crisis:"This call for a worldwide fellowship that lifts neighborly concern beyond one's tribe, race, class, and nation is in reality a call for an all-embracing and unconditional love for all mankind. This oft misunderstood, this oft misinterpreted concept, so readily dismissed by the Nietzsches of the world as a weak and cowardly force, has now become an absolute necessity for the survival of man ... We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late."The final message is from William Faulkner. On December 10th, 1950, his Nobel Prize banquet speech was about the role of humanists in a world facing potential nuclear holocaust."I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past."Graduates, you have an extraordinary role to play in our future. As you pursue your private passions, I hope you will also develop a passion and a voice to help the world in ways both large and small. Nothing will give you greater satisfaction.Please accept my warmest congratulations. May you prosper, may you help preserve and save our planet for your children, and all future children of the world.尊敬的Faust校长，哈佛集团的各位成员，监管理事会的各位理事，各位老师，各位家长，各位朋友，以及最重要的各位毕业生同学，感谢你们，让我有机会同你们一起分享这个美妙的日子。
美国脱口秀主持Ellen的爆笑演讲 英文原版
Then my career turned into - I got my own sitcom, and that was very successful, another level of success. And I thought, what if they find out I'm gay, then they'll never watch, and this was a long time ago, this was when we just had white presidents - this was back, many years ago - and I finally decided that I was living with so much shame, and so much fear, that I just couldn't live that way anymore, and I decided to come out and make it creative. And my character would come out at the same time, and it wasn't to make a political statement, it wasn't to do anything other than to free myself up from this heaviness that I was carrying around, and I just wanted to be honest. And I thought, "What's the worst that could happen? I can lose my career". I did. I lost my career. The show was cancelled after six years, without even telling me, I read it in the paper. The phone didn't ring for three years. I had no offers. Nobody wanted to touch me at all. Yet, I was getting letters from kids that almost committed suicide, but didn't, because of what I did. And I realised that I had a purpose. And it wasn't just about me and it wasn't about celebrity, but I felt like I was being punished... it was a bad time, I was angry, I was sad, and then I was offered a talkshow. And the people that offered me the talkshow tried to sell it. And most stations didn't want to pick it up. Most people didn't want to buy it because they thought nobody would watch me.
奥巴马2009年亚利桑那州立大学毕业典礼上的演讲
obama at arizona state university i want to obviously congratulate the class of 2009you’re your unbelievableachievement. (applause.) i want to thank the parents, the uncles, the grandpas,the grandmas, cousins -- calabash cousins -- everybody who was involved in helpingthese extraordinary young people arrive at this moment. i also want to apologizeto the entire state of arizona for stealing away your wonderful former governor, janetnapolitano. (applause.) but youve got a fine governor here and i also know thatjanet is applying her extraordinary talents to serve our entire country as thesecretary of homeland security, keeping america safe. and shes doing a great job. (applause.)now, before i begin, id just like to clear the air about that little controversyeverybody was talking about a few weeks back. i have to tell you, i really thoughtthis was much ado about nothing, but i do think we all learned an important lesson.i learned never again to pick another team over the sun devils in my ncaa bracket. (applause.) it wont happen again. president crow and the board of regents willsoon learn all about being audited by the irs. (laughter and applause.) now, some graduating classes have marched into this stadium in easy times -- timesof peace and stability when we call on our graduates simply to keep things going,and dont screw it up. (laughter.) other classes have received their diplomas intimes of trial and upheaval, when the very foundations of our lives, the old orderhas been shaken, the old ideas and institutions have crumbled, and a new generationis called upon to remake the world. it should be clear to you by now the category into which all of you fall. forwe gather here tonight in times of extraordinary difficulty, for the nation and forthe world. the economy remains in the midst of a historic recession, the worst weveseen since the great depression; the result, in part, of greed and irresponsibilitythat rippled out from wall street and washington, as we spent beyond our means andfailed to make hard choices. (applause.) were engaged in two wars and a struggleagainst terrorism. the threats of climate change, nuclear proliferation, andpandemic defy national boundaries and easy solutions. for many of you, these challenges are also felt in more personal terms. perhapsyoure still looking for a job -- or struggling to figure out what career path makessense in this disrupted economy. maybe youve got student loans -- no, you definitelyhave student loans -- (applause) -- or credit card debts, and youre wondering howyoull ever pay them off. maybe youve got a family to raise, and youre wondering howyoull ensure that your children have the same opportunities youve had to get aneducation and pursue their dreams. now, you can take that road -- and it may work for some. but at this criticaljuncture in our nations history, at this difficult time, let me suggest that suchan approach wont get you where you want to go; it displays a poverty of ambition --that in fact, the elevation of appearance over substance, of celebrity over character,of short-term gain over lasting achievement is precisely what your generation needsto help end. (applause.)that other stuff -- that other stuff, the trappings of success may be a byproductof this larger mission, but it cant be the central thing. just ask bernie madoff.thats the first problem with the old attitude. thats true in whatever profession you choose. professors might earn thedistinction of tenure, but that doesnt guarantee that theyll keep putting in the longhours and late nights -- and have the passion and the drive -- to be great educators.the same principle is true in your personal life. being a parent is not just a matterof paying the bills, doing the bare minimum -- its not bringing a child into the worldthat matters, but the acts of love and sacrifice it takes to raise and educate thatchild and give them opportunity. (applause.) it can happen to presidents, as well.if you think about it, abraham lincoln and millard fillmore had the very same title,they were both presidents of the united states, but their tenure in office and theirlegacy could not be more different. so graduates, its now abundantly clear that we need to start doing things a littlebit different. in your own lives, youll need to continuously adapt to a continuouslychanging economy. youll end up having more than one job and more than one career overthe course of your life; to keep gaining new skills -- possibly even new degrees;and youll have to keep on taking risks as new opportunities arise. and as a nation, well need a fundamental change of perspective and attitude. itsclear that we need to build a new foundation -- a stronger foundation -- for our economyand our prosperity, rethinking how we grow our economy, how we use energy, how weeducate our children, how we care for our sick, how we treat our environment. (applause.)many of our current challenges are unprecedented. there are no standard remedies,no go-to fixes this time around. and class of 2009 thats why were going to need yourhelp. we need young people like you to step up. we need your daring, we need your enthusiasmand your energy, we need your imagination. thats the great american story: young people just like you, following theirpassions, determined to meet the times on their own terms. they werent doing it forthe money. their titles werent fancy -- ex-slave, minister, student, citizen. awhole bunch of them didnt get honorary degrees. (laughter and applause.) but theychanged the course of history -- and so can you asu, so can you class of 2009. (applause.) so can you.but you can also make your mark in smaller, more individual ways. thats whatso many of you have already done during your time here at asu -- tutoring children;registering voters; doing your own small part to fight hunger and homelessness, aidsand cancer. one student said it best when she spoke about her senior engineeringproject building medical devices for people with disabilities in a village in africa.her professor showed a video of the folks theyd been helping, and she said, when wesaw the people on the videos, we began to feel a connection to them. it made us wantto be successful for them. think about that: it made us want to be successful forthem. thats a great motto for all of us -- find somebody to be successful for. raisetheir hopes. rise to their needs. as you think about life after graduation, as youlook into the mirror tonight after the partying is done -- (laughter and applause)-- that shouldnt get such a big cheer -- (laughter) -- you may look in the mirrortonight and you may see somebody whos not really sure what to do with their lives.thats what you may see, but a troubled child might look at you and see a mentor. ahomebound senior citizen might see a lifeline. the folks at your local homelessshelter might see a friend. none of them care how much money is in your bank account,or whether youre important at work, or whether youre famous around town -- they justknow that youre somebody who cares, somebody who makes a difference in their lives. and thats not just how youll ensure that your own life is well-lived. its howyoull make a difference in the life of our nation. i talked earlier about theselfishness and irresponsibility on wall street and washington that rippled out andled to so many of the problems that we face today. i talked about the focus on outwardmarkers of success that can help lead us astray.i know starting your careers in troubled times is a challenge. but it is alsoa privilege. because its moments like these that force us to try harder, to dig deeper,and to discover gifts we never knew we had -- to find the greatness that lies withineach of us. so dont ever shy away from that endeavor. dont stop adding to your bodyof work. i can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort, aswill this nation that we all love.篇二：奥巴马在俄亥俄州立大学2013届毕业典礼上的演讲奥巴马在俄亥俄州立大学2013届毕业典礼上的演讲翻译：@假装在纽约2013届的毕业生们，你们来到这一刻的路途上一定充满了多年让人激动人心的改变。

谢谢，谢谢，非常感谢。还有比这更好的事吗——世界上最好的大学之一在纽约扬基队主场所在地举行毕业典礼？真是再好不过了。（掌声） 谢谢大家如此热烈地为一位来访的客人加油。我原以为在扬基体育场不可以这样做。
I am honored to receive this degree. And on behalf of the other honorees, I say thank you. Thank you for giving us this singular privilege of being part of this commencement eremony. As I look out at this huge crowd of graduates, family, and friends, I can only reflect on what an
ideologies, new diseases and nuclear proliferation. But I am absolutely convinced that you and we are up to the task. There is no problem we face here in America or around the world that will not yield to human effort, to cooperation, to positive interdependence that makes clear humanity is going on, our challenges are ones that summon the best of us, and we will make the world better tomorrow than it is today.

Was that okay？——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿
Was that okay？——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿再大的失败总会翻页“奥普拉秀”在同一时间段的电视节目中连续21年排名第一，我必须说我对于这个成功非常的满足。
但是几年前，我觉得，在人生的某一时刻，你必须重新来过，找到新的领域，实现新的突破。
所以我离开了奥普拉秀，以我的名字命名推出了我自己的电视网络“奥普拉•温福瑞电视网”，缩写正好是“own(自己的)”。
在奥普拉•温福瑞电视网推出一年后，几乎所有的媒体都认为我的新项目是失败的。
他们称之为一个“大写的失败”。
我还记得有一天我打开《今日美国报》时看到头条说“奥普拉搞不定‘自己的’电视网”……这正是去年我职业生涯最低谷的时刻。
说实话，我压力大到近乎崩溃，感到羞愧。
就在那个时候，faust校长打电话邀请我到哈佛做毕业演讲。
我心想：“让我给哈佛的毕业生演讲?我能跟这些世界上最成功的毕业生说什么?我已经不再成功了啊。
”挂了校长的电话后我去洗了个澡。
那个澡，我洗了很长时间，洗澡时我突然想到一首古老赞美诗中的话：“终于，清晨来临”，之后我就想，我的黎明也许要来了。
我又想到那首赞美诗中的另一句话：“困难只是暂时的，都会过去...”当我走出浴室时，我想：我遇到的麻烦，同样会有结束的一天，我会把这一页翻过去，会好起来的。
等我做到了，我就去哈佛，把这个真实的故事告诉大家!今天我来了，并且想告诉你们，我已经把own带上正轨了。
像这样可以吗?我不得不坦言，在我25年的访谈历程中，我所学到的最重要的，我们的人生有一个共同的公分母。
我可以告诉你的是，我们中的大多数人并不愿意被分割。
我在每次访谈中发现我们的“公分母”、我们想要的，就是——我们想要被证实、被认可。
我们渴望被理解。
我的职业生涯中进行了大约35000个访谈，每每关闭摄像机后，几乎所有人都不可避免地转向我，用他们各自的方式，询问着同一个问题：像这样可以吗?布什总统这样问，奥巴马总统也这样问，我在英雄口中听到过这个疑问，同样也在家庭主妇口中听过这句话。

So I had to break the word down myself, to find out the meaning.Commencement: common, and cement. Common cement. You commonly see cement on sidewalks. Sidewalks have cracks, and if you step on a crack, you break your mothers back. So theres that. But Im honored that youve asked me here to speak at your common cement.I thought that you had to be a famous alumnus - alumini - aluminum - alumis - you had to graduate from this school. And I didnt go to college here, and I dont know if President Cowan knows, I didnt go to any college at all. Any college. And Im not saying you wasted your time, or money, but look at me, Im a huge celebrity.Although I did graduate from the school of hard knocks, our mascot was the knockers. I spent a lot of time here growing up. My mom worked at ( 估计是某家商店的名字) and I would go there every time I needed to steal something out of her purse. But why am I here today Clearly not to steal, youre too far away and Id never get away with it.Im here because of you. Because I cant think of a more tenacious, more courageous graduating class. I mean, look at you all, wearing your robes. Usually when youre wearing a robe at 10 in the morning, it means youve given up. Im here because I love New Orleans. I was born and raised here,I spent my formative years here, and like you, while I was living here I only did laundry six times. When I finished school, I was completely lost. And by school, I mean middle school, but I went ahead and finished high school anyway. And I - I really, I had no ambition, I didnt know what I wanted to do. I did everything from - I shucked oysters, I was a hostess, I was a bartender, I was a waitress, I painted houses, I sold vaccuum cleaners, I had no idea. And I thought Id just finally settle in some job, and I would make enough money to pay my rent, maybe have basic cable, maybe not, I didnt really have a plan, my point is that, by the time I was your age, I really thought I knew who I was, but I had no idea. Like for example, when I was your age, I was dating men. So what Im saying is, when youre older, most of you will be gay. Anyone writing this stuff down ParentsAnyway, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and the way I ended up on this path was from a very tragic event. I was maybe 19, and my girlfriend at the time was killed in a car accident. And I passed the accident, and I didnt know it was her and I keptgoing, and I found out shortly after that, it was her. And I was living in a basement apartment, I had no money, I had no heat, no air, I had a mattress on the floor and the apartment was infested with fleas. And I was soul-searching, I was like, why is she suddenly gone, and there are fleas here I dont understand, there must be a purpose, and wouldnt it be so convenient if we could pick up the phone and call God, and ask these questions.And I started writing and what poured out of me was an imaginary conversation with God, which was one-sided, and I finished writing it and I looked at it and I said to myself, and I hadnt even been doing stand-up, ever, there was no club in town. I said, Im gonna do this on the Tonight Show With Johnny Carson- at the time he was the king - and Im gonna be the first woman in the history of the show to be called over to sit down. And several years later, I was the first woman in the history of the show, and only woman in the history of the show to sit down, because of that phone conversation with God that I wrote. And I started this path of stand-up and it was successful and it was great, but it was hard, because I was trying to please everybody and I had this secret that I was keeping, that I was gay. And I thoughtif people found out they wouldnt like me, they wouldnt laugh at me.Then my career turned into - I got my own sitcom, and that was very successful, another level of success. And I thought, what if they find out Im gay, then theyll never watch, and this was a long time ago, this was when we just had white presidents - this was back, many years ago - and I finally decided that I was living with so much shame, and so much fear, that I just couldnt live that way anymore, and I decided to come out and make it creative. And my character would come out at the same time, and it wasnt to make a political statement, it wasnt to do anything other than to free myself up from this heaviness that I was carrying around, and I just wanted to be honest. And I thought, Whats the worst that could happen I can lose my career. I did. I lost my career. The show was cancelled after six years, without even telling me, I read it in the paper. The phone didnt ring for three years. I had no offers. Nobody wanted to touch me at all. Yet, I was getting letters from kids that almost committed suicide, but didnt, because of what I did. And I realised that I had a purpose. And it wasnt just about me and it wasnt about celebrity, but I felt like I was beingpunished... it was a bad time, I was angry, I was sad, and then I was offered a talkshow. And the people that offered me the talkshow tried to sell it. And most stations didnt want to pick it up. Most people didnt want to buy it because they thought nobody would watch me.Really when I look back on it, I wouldnt change a thing. I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. Ultimately, thats whats gotten me to this place. I dont live in fear, Im free, I have no secrets. and I know Ill always be ok, because no matter what, I know who I am. So In conclusion, when I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies. To quote the Pussycat Dolls. How many people thought it was boobies, by the way Its not, its groupiesBut my idea of success is different today. And as you grow, youll realise the definition of success changes. For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. For me, the most important thing in yourlife is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure. to try to be something that youre not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. to contribute in some way. So to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone elses path, unless youre in the woods and youre lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. Dont give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Dont take anyones advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but theres no need to worry. The economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine. Its gonna be great. Youve already survived a hurricane. What else can happen to you And as I mentioned before, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. Like, Is it above sea level . So to conclude my conclusion that Ive previously concluded, in the common cement speech, I guess what Im trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras. But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what theysee, youll have more beads than you know what to do with. And youll be drunk, most of the time. So the Katrina class of 20XX, I say congratulations and if you dont remember a thing I said today, remember this: youre gonna be ok, dum de dum dum dum, just dance.ellen杜兰大学毕业演讲稿中文谢谢，谢谢考恩校长，和有头有脸的来宾们，呃，有头有脸的来宾，你知道你是谁，不用介绍了，诚心感谢大家&bd&bd以及讨厌的西班牙语老师。

大学毕业生脱口秀演讲稿(3篇)
第1篇大家好，亲爱的同学们！今天，我站在这里，不仅仅是为了完成一个演讲，更是为了回顾我们这段共同度过的青春岁月。
是的，我们都是大学毕业生，是时候告别校园，迈向社会的舞台了。
但在此之前，我想用这段脱口秀演讲，与大家共同回味那些激情燃烧的岁月。
第一幕：青春的序曲还记得刚踏入大学校门的那一天吗？我们带着满心的憧憬和期待，踏上了这片陌生的土地。
那时候，我们还是一群青涩的少年，对未来的世界充满了好奇。
我记得，那时候的我们，总是会在晚上仰望星空，幻想着未来的自己会成为什么样的人。
第二幕：课堂上的“战场”在大学，我们经历了无数次的课堂“战斗”。
从高等数学到线性代数，从大学英语到马克思主义基本原理，每一门课程都像是为我们量身定做的挑战。
那时候，我们熬夜做题、背书，为了的就是在考试中能够一展身手。
虽然过程辛苦，但每当看到成绩单上的满意分数，所有的付出都显得值得。
第三幕：社团活动的“狂欢”大学，不仅仅是学习的地方，更是我们展现自我、锻炼能力的舞台。
在社团活动中，我们学会了沟通、协调、组织，也结交了一群志同道合的朋友。
无论是辩论赛上的唇枪舌剑，还是志愿者活动中的无私奉献，都让我们感受到了青春的活力。
第四幕：爱情的萌芽在大学，爱情也是一道不可或缺的风景线。
我们曾为了一段感情欣喜若狂，也为失去爱情而黯然神伤。
爱情让我们学会了珍惜、学会了成长，更让我们明白了什么是真正的陪伴。
第五幕：青春的“尾巴”转眼间，大学四年已经接近尾声。
我们开始为毕业论文、为就业而忙碌。
那时候的我们，不再像以前那样无所畏惧，开始考虑未来的方向。
但是，无论我们选择何种道路，都无法改变我们曾经拥有过的这段青春岁月。
第六幕：毕业典礼今天，我们即将迎来毕业典礼。
在这里，我们将穿上学士服，领取毕业证书，正式告别校园生活。
我想对所有的同学说，无论未来走到哪里，都不要忘记我们曾经一起走过的这段时光。
第七幕：梦想的启航毕业，并不是结束，而是新的开始。
我们将带着在大学里学到的知识、经验和勇气，去追寻自己的梦想。
2009年艾伦·德詹尼丝在杜兰大学的演讲：做真正的自己
2009年艾伦·德詹尼丝在杜兰大学的演讲：做真正的自己作者：By Ellen DeGeners来源：《英语学习》2017年第05期杜蘭大学成立于1834年，是一所历史悠久的综合性私立大学，享有“南部哈佛”之美誉。
被称为脱口秀女王的艾伦·德詹尼丝，其风趣自然的特点与生俱来，她在这篇“笑果”十足的演说中透露了自己艰辛的成长历程，让人备受鼓舞。
她演讲的核心正是杜兰大学的校训：Not for oneself，but for one’s own（不为自己，只为内心）。
Thank you， President Cowan， Mrs. President Cowen； distinguished guests，undistinguished guests—you know who you are， honored faculty and creepy1 Spanish teacher.And thank you to all the graduating class of 2009， I realize most of you are hungover and have splitting headaches and haven’t slept since Fat Tuesday，but you can’t graduate till I finish， so listen up.2When I was asked to make the commencement speech， I immediately said yes. Then I went to look up what commencement meant. Commencement： common， and cement3. Common cement. You commonly see cement on sidewalks. Sidewalks have cracks， and if you step on a crack， you break your mother’s back.4 So there’s that. But I’m honored that you’ve asked me here to speak at your common cement.I thought that you had to be a famous alumnus—alumni—aluminum—alumis—you had to graduate from this school.5 And I didn’t go to college here，and I don’t know if President Cowan knows，I didn’t go to any college at all. Any college. And I’m not saying you wasted your time， or money， but look at me，I’m a huge celebrity6.Although I did graduate from the school of hard knocks， our mascot was the knockers.7 I spent a lot of time here growing up. My mom worked at Newcomb and I would go there every time I needed to steal something out of her purse. But why am I here today？ Clearly not to steal.I’m here because of you. Because I can’t think of a more tenacious8， more courageous graduating class. I mean， look at you all， wearing your robes9. Usua lly when you’re wearing a robe at 10 in the morning，it means you’ve given up.10 I’m here because I love New Orleans. I was born and raised here， I spent my formative years here， and like you， while I was living here I only did laundry six times.11When I finished school， I was completely lost.

Sidewalks have cracks, and if you step on a crack, you break your mother's back. So there's that. But I'm honored that you've asked me here to speak at your common cement.I thought that you had to be a famous alumnus - alumini -aluminum - alumis - you had to graduate from this school. And I didn't go to college here, and I don't know if President Cowan knows, I didn't go to any college at all. Any college. And I'm not saying you wasted your time, or money, but look at me, I'm a huge celebrity.Although I did graduate from the school of hard knocks, our mascot was the knockers. I spent a lot of time here growing up. My mom worked at (? 估计是某家商店的名字) and I would go there every time I needed to steal something out of her purse. But why am I here today? Clearly not to steal, you're too far away and I'd never get away with it.I'm here because of you. Because I can't think of a more tenacious, more courageous graduating class. I mean, look at you all, wearing your robes. Usually when you're wearing a robe at 10 in the morning, it means you've given up. I'm here because I love New Orleans. I was born and raised here, I spent my formative years here, and like you, while I was living here I only did laundry six times. When I finished school, I was completely lost. And by school, I mean middle school, but I went ahead and finished high school anyway. And I - I really, I had no ambition, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I did everything from - I shucked oysters, I was a hostess, I was a bartender, I was a waitress, I painted houses, I sold vaccuum cleaners, I had no idea. And I thought I'd just finally settle in some job, and I would make enough money to pay my rent, maybe have basic cable, maybe not, I didn't really have a plan, mypoint is that, by the time I was your age, I really thought I knew who I was, but I had no idea. Like for example, when I was your age, I was dating men. So what I'm saying is, when you're older, most of you will be gay. Anyone writing this stuff down? Parents?Anyway, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and the way I ended up on this path was from a very tragic event. I was maybe 19, and my girlfriend at the time was killed in a car accident. And I passed the accident, and I didn't know it was her and I keptgoing, and I found out shortly after that, it was her. And I was living in a basement apartment, I had no money, I had no heat, no air, I had a mattress on the floor and the apartment was infested with fleas. And I was soul-searching, I was like, why is she suddenly gone, and there are fleas here? I don't understand, there must be a purpose, and wouldn't it be so convenient if we could pick up the phone and call God, and ask these questions.And I started writing and what poured out of me was an imaginary conversation with God, which was one-sided, and I finished writing it and I looked at it and I said to myself, and I hadn't even been doing stand-up, ever, there was no club in town. I said, "I'm gonna do this on the Tonight Show With Johnny Carson"- at the time he was the king - "and I'm gonna be the first woman in the history of the show to be called over to sit down." And several years later, I was the first woman in the history of theshow, and only woman in the history of the show to sit down, because of that phone conversation with God that I wrote. And I started this path of stand-up and it was successful and it was great, but it was hard, because I was trying to please everybody and I had this secret that I was keeping, that I was gay. And I thought if people found out they wouldn't like me, they wouldn't laugh at me.Then my career turned into - I got my own sitcom, and that was very successful, another level of success. And I thought, what if they find out I'm gay, then they'll never watch, and this was a long time ago, this was when we just had white presidents - this was back, many years ago - and I finally decided that I was living with so much shame, and so much fear, that I just couldn't live that way anymore, and I decided to come out and make it creative. And my character would come out at the same time, and it wasn't to make a political statement, it wasn't to do anything other than to free myself up from this heaviness that I was carrying around, and I just wanted to be honest. And I thought, "What's the worst that could happen? I can lose my career". I did. I lost my career. The show was cancelled after six years, without even telling me, I read it in the paper. The phone didn't ring for three years. I had no offers. Nobody wanted to touch me at all. Yet, I was getting letters from kids that almost committed suicide, but didn't, because of what I did. And I realised that I had a purpose. And it wasn't just about me and it wasn't about celebrity,but I felt like I was being punished... it was a bad time, I was angry, I was sad, and then I was offered a talkshow. And the people that offered me the talkshow tried to sell it. And most stations didn't want to pick it up. Most people didn't want to buy it because they thought nobody would watch me.Really when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing. I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. Ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place. I don't live in fear, I'm free, I have no secrets. and I know I'll always be ok, because no matter what, I know who I am. So In conclusion, when I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies. To quote the Pussycat Dolls. How many people thought it was "boobies", by the way? It's not, it's "groupies"But my idea of success is different today. And as you grow, you'll realise the definition of success changes. For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure. to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. to contribute in someway. So to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. Don't give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don't take anyone's advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there's no need to worry. The economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine. It's gonna be great. You've already survived a hurricane. What else can happen to you? And as I mentioned before, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. Like, "Is it above sea level?" . So to conclude my conclusion that I've previously concluded, in the common cement speech, I guess what I'm trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras. But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you'll have more beads than you know what to do with. And you'll be drunk, most of the time. So the Katrina class of 20xx, I say congratulations and if you don't remember a thing I said today, remember this: you're gonna be ok, dum de dum dum dum, just dance.Ellen杜兰大学毕业演讲稿中文谢谢，谢谢考恩校长，和有头有脸的来宾们，呃，有头有脸的来宾，你知道你是谁，不用介绍了，诚心感谢大家,,以及讨厌的西班牙语老师。

乔丹2009年入选名人堂演讲中英对照人人英语
乔丹2009年入选名人堂演讲Thank you! Thank you!I told my friends I would come here to say “thank you” then walked off. I can’t, it’s no way. I get so many people I can thank. In all the videos, you never just saw me, also Scottie Pippen and the championship we won. I’ve got a lot of questions over the last four weeks. Anybody says “well, why do you pick David Thompson?” I know why, David knows why and maybe you guys don’t know. But as I grow up in North Carolina, I was eleven years old, 1974, I think, when David won the championship. I hated North Carolina, but I ended up in North Carolina. But I was in love with David Thompson, not just for the game basketball, but in terms of what he represented. You know, we all, as David says or said we go through trails and tribulations. And he did, and I was inspired by him. And when I called him and asked him to stand up for me, I know I shock the shit out of him. I know I did. But he is very kind to say, “Yeath, I’ll do it.” That is not disrespect to the North Carolina guy; we all know I am true blue North Carolina guy to the heart. Coach Smith, Larry Brown, Sam Perkins, James Worthy, you know all of those guys.谢谢…….谢谢……我告诉过我的朋友，我会出现在领奖台上说完谢谢就转身离开。
