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.
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。

And thank you to all the graduating class of 20XX, I realize most of you are hungover and have splitting headaches and havent slept since Fat Tuesday, but you cant graduate til I finish, so listen up.When I was asked to make the commencement speech, I immediately said yes. Then I went to look up what commencement meant. Which would have been easy if I had a dictionary, but most of the books in our house are Portias, and theyre all written in Australian. 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。

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.

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 booming23， the job market is wide open，the planet is just fine. It’s gonna be great. You’ve already survived a hurricane.

But instead of showing yourboobs， show people your brain， and if they like what they see，you’ll have more beads than you know what to do with.25 And you’ll be drunk， most of the time.So the Tulane class of 2009，I say congratulations and if you don’t remember a thing I said today， remember this：you’re gonna be ok， just dance.1. creepy：使人紧张的，令人毛骨悚然的。
杨澜TED演讲稿英文版
：重塑xx的年轻一代The night before I was heading for Scotland,I was invited to host the final of "China'sGot Talent"show in Shanghai with the 80,000live audiences in the stadium.Guess who was the performing guest?Susan Boyle. And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day." She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese]So it's not like "hello" or "thank you,"that ordinary stuff.It means "greenonion for free."Why did she say that?Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle --a 50-someyear-old woman,a vegetable vendor in Shanghai,who loves sing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter)And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was sing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audiences sang together. That was hilarious.在来爱尔兰的前一晚，我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。

Then I went to look up what commencement meant. Which would have been easy if I had a dictionary, but most of the books in our house are Portia's, and they're all written in Australian. 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.

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。
教师脱口秀演讲稿

一个人做事，在行动之前，当然要详慎考虑。
为了让自己在演讲时表达生动，我们就可以提早想好自己演讲时想要说的话。
演讲稿的撰写需要注意突出自己的观点，优质演讲稿是怎么样的呢？为了让您在使用时更加简单方便，下面是WTT整理的“老师脱口秀演讲稿”，希望对您有一定的帮助。
小时候，从我们呱呱坠地、咿呀学语时，就一直在渴望成长，渴望进入大人们的世界。
但殊不知成长是要付出代价的。
从攀爬到踉跄学步，摔跤成了必然的代价于是，也就这样摸爬滚打地长大了。
对于碧桂园，我已经算是二进宫了。
在最初毕业时，心太大，带着一份仗剑走天涯的心走向了南漂的道路，只是因为在人群里多看了你一眼，从此我便成了碧桂园人一名广东凤凰城中英文幼儿园的一名老师。
听上去光鲜亮丽，背后也常繁忙到夜里三四点。
曾有同事说一开场感觉我状态不对根本无法待够3个月。
确实，初进碧桂园，它的形式、它的工作要求对我来讲都是一个宏大的挑战，但我有不服输的倔强，顶着压力与家人的不理解，去学习再学习，最后艰辛的付出得到了认可，我在短时间内快速成长为骨干老师，曾代表幼儿园为一百多位行业领军人物呈现优质课，我非常开心大家能认可我，同时我也收获了成长的快乐。
想到这里我甚感欣慰，原来成长中的付出与收获是成正比的，快乐并没有溜走，都被我尽获囊中并迫不及待地要前往下一个目的地。
来到武汉碧桂园学校我是紧张而又期待的，然而此时的我又复原成了一个愣头青。
记忆最深化的也就是参加后的第一件大事：组建鼓号队。
对于我来说，适应和缓冲的时间都缺乏够，却还要马不停蹄地组建鼓号队。
接到任务时大脑一片空白，非常心慌，不到一个月的时间内要选人组建训练出一支四十多人的队伍，十月要在运动会上一展风采。
箭在弦上不得不发，我利用周末看视频学习，自己拿乐器操练，向兄弟学校老师取经，付出了大量的时间与精力。
当然在这个过程中，并不是我一个人在奋斗，校长经常来巡视给我指导意见，班主任老师们帮助我搜集并协调家长的意见，在短时间内我们共同完成了这项艰巨的任务，在运动会入场式那一天，看到上场效果颇佳的队伍我笑了，这是收获的笑容，虽然还有很多不完美的地方，但是我成长了许多，抗压才能也得到了新打破。
迈克尔·布隆伯格在哈佛大学2024年毕业典礼英语演讲稿
迈克尔·布隆伯格在哈佛大学2022年毕业典礼英语演讲稿Thank you, Katie –and thank you to President Faust, the Fellows of Harvard College, the Boardof Overseers, and all the faculty, alumni, and students who have welcomed me back to campus.I’m e某cited to be here, not only to address the distinguished graduates and alumni atHarvard University’s 363rd commencement but to stand in the e某act spot where Oprah stoodlast year. OMG.Let me begin with the most important order of business: Let’s have a big round of applaus e forthe Class of 2019! They’ve earned it!As e某cited as the graduates are, they are probably even more e某hausted after the past fewweeks. And parents: I’m not referring to their final e某ams. I’m talking about the SeniorOlympics, the Last Chance Dance, and the Booze Cruise –I mean, the moonlight cruise.The entire year has been e某citing on campus: Harvard beat Yale for the seventh straight timein football. The men’s basketball team went to the second round of the NCAA tournament forthe second s traight year. And the Men’s Squash team won national championship.Who’d a thunk it: Harvard, an athletic powerhouse! Pretty soon they’ll be asking whether youhave academics to go along with your athletic programs.My personal connection to Harvard began in 1964, when I graduated from Johns HopkinsUniversity in Baltimore and matriculated here at the B-School.You’re probably asking: How did I ever get into Harvard Business School, given my stellaracademic record, where I always made the top half of the class possible? I have no idea. Andthe only people more surprised than me were my professors.Anyway, here I am again back in Cambridge. And I have noticedthat a few things havechanged since I was a student here. Elsie’s –a sandwich spot I used to love near the Square –is now a burrito shop. The Wursthaus –which had great beer and sausage –is now an artisanalgastro-pub, whatever the heck that is. And the old Holyoke Center is now named the SmithCampus Center.Don’t you just hat e it when alumni put their names all over everything? I was thinking aboutthat this morning as I walked into the Bloomberg Center on the Harvard Business Schoolcampus across the river.But the good news is, Harvard remains what it was when I first ar rived on campus 50 yearsago: America’s most prestigious university. And, like other great universities, it lies at theheart of the American e某periment in democracy.Their purpose is not only to advance knowledge, but to advance the ideals of our nation. Greatuniversities are places where people of all backgrounds, holding all beliefs, pursuing allquestions, can come to study and debate their ideas – freely and openly.Today, I’d like to talk with you about how important it is for that freedom to e某ist for everyone,no matter how strongly we may disagree with another’s viewpoint.Tolerance for other people’s ideas, and the freedom to e某press your own, are inseparable valuesat great universities. Joined together, they form a sacred trust that holds the basis of ourdemocratic society.But that trust is perpetually vulnerable to the tyrannical tendencies of monarchs, mobs, andmajorities. And lately, we have seen those tendencies manifest themselves too often, both oncollege campuses and in our society.That’s the bad news – and unfortunately, I think both Harvard, and my own city of New York,have been witnesses to this trend.First, for New York City. Several years ago, as you may remember, some people tried to stopthe development of a mosque a few blocks from the World Trade Center site.It was an emotional issue, and polls showed that two-thirds of Americans were against amosque being built there. Even the Anti-Defamation League –widely regarded as the country’smost arden t defender of religious freedom – declared its opposition to the project.The opponents held rallies and demonstrations. They denounced the developers. And theydemanded that city government stop its construction. That was their right – and we protectedtheir right to protest. But they could not have been more wrong. And we refused to cave in totheir demands.The idea that government would single out a particular religion, and block its believers – andonly its believers – from building a house of worship in a particular area is diametricallyopposed to the moral principles that gave rise to our great nation and the constitutionalprotections that have sustained it.Our union of 50 states rests on the union of two values: freedom and tolerance. And it is thatunion of values that the terrorists who attacked us on September 11th, 2019 – and on April15th, 2019 – found most threatening.To them, we were a God-less country.But in fact, there is no country that protects the core of every faith and philosophy known tohuman kind – free will – more than the United States of America. That protection, however,rests upon our constant vigilance.We like to think that the principle of separation of church and state is settled. It is not. And itnever will be. It is up to us to guard it fiercely – and to ensure that equality under the lawmeansequality under the law for everyone.If you want the freedom to worship as you wish, to speak as you wish, and to marry whom youwish, you must tolerate my freedom to do so – or not do so – as well.What I do may offend you. You may find my actions immoral or unjust. But attempting torestrict my freedoms – in ways that you would not restrict your own – leads only to injustice.We cannot deny others the rights and privileges that we demand for ourselves. And that is truein cities – and it is no less true at universities, where the forces of repression appear to bestronger now than they have been since the 1950s.When I was growing up, U.S. Senator Joe McCarthy was asking: ‘Are you now or have you everbeen?’ He was attempting to repress and criminalize those who sympathized with an economicsystem that was, even then, failing.McCarthy’s Red Scare destroyed thousands of lives, but wh at was he so afraid of? An idea – inthis case, communism – that he and others deemed dangerous.But he was right about one thing: Ideas can be dangerous. They can change society. They canupend traditions. They can start revolutions. That’s why throug hout history, those in authorityhave tried to repress ideas that threaten their power, their religion, their ideology, or theirreelection chances.That was true for Socrates and Galileo, it was true for Nelson Mandela and Václav Havel, and ithas been true for Ai Wei Wei, Pussy Riot, and the kids who made the ‘Happy’ video in Iran.Repressing free e某pression is a natural human weakness, and it is up to us to fight it at everyturn. Intolerance of ideas – whether liberal or conservative – is antithetical to individualrights and freesocieties, and it is no less antithetical to great universities and first-ratescholarship.There is an idea floating around college campuses – including here at Harvard – that scholarsshould be funded only if their work conforms to a particular view of justice. There’s a word forthat idea: censorship. And it is just a modern-day form of McCarthyism.Think about the irony: In the 1950s, the right wing was attempting to repress left wing ideas.Today, on many college campuses, it is liberals trying to repress conservative ideas, even asconservative faculty members are at risk of becoming an endangered species. And perhapsnowhere is that more true than here in the Ivy League.In the 2019 presidential race, according to Federal Election Commission data, 96 percent of allcampaign contributions from Ivy League faculty and employees went to Barack Obama.Ninety-si某 percent. There was more disagreement among the old Soviet Politburo than there isamong Ivy League donors.That statistic should give us pause – and I say that as someone who endorsed President Obamafor reelection – because let me tell you, neither party has a monopoly on truth or God on itsside.When 96 percent of Ivy League donors prefer one candidate to another, you have to wonderwhether students are being e某posed to the diversity of views that a great university shouldoffer.Diversity of gender, ethnicity, and orientation is important. But a university cannot be great ifits faculty is politically homogenous. In fact, the whole purpose of granting tenure to professorsis to ensure that they feel free to conduct research on ideas that run afoul of university politicsand societal norms.When tenure was created, it mostly protected liberals whoseideas ran up against conservativenorms.Today, if tenure is going to continue to e某ist, it must also protect conservatives whose ideasrun up against liberal norms. Otherwise, university research – and the professors who conductit –will lose credibility.Great universities must not become predictably partisan. And a liberal arts education mustnot be an education in the art of liberalism.The role of universities is not to promote an ideology. It is to provide scholars and studentswith a neutral forum for researching and debating issues – without tipping the scales in onedirection, or repressing unpopular views.Requiring scholars – and commencement speakers, for that matter –to conform to certainpolitical standards undermines the whole purpose of a university.This spring, it has been disturbing to see a number of college commencement speakerswithdraw – or have their invitations rescinded – after protests from students and – to me,shockingly – from senior faculty and administrators who should know better.It happened at Brandeis, Haverford, Rutgers, and Smith. Last year, it happened at Swarthmoreand Johns Hopkins, I’m sorry to say.In each case, liberals silenced a voice –and denied an honorary degree – to individuals theydeemed politically objectionable. That is an outrage and we must not let it continue.If a university thinks twice before inviting a commencement speaker because of his or herpolitics censorship and conformity – the mortal enemies of freedom – win out.And sadly, it is not just commencement season when speakers are censored.Last fall, when I was still in City Hall, our PoliceCommissioner was invited to deliver a lecture atanother Ivy League institution –but he was unable to do so because students shouted himdown.Isn’t the purpose of a university to stir discussion, not silence it? What were the studentsafraid of hearing? Why did administrators not step in to prevent the mob from silencingspeech? And did anyone consider that it is morally and pedagogically wrong to deprive otherstudents the chance to hear the speech?I’m sure all of today’s graduates have read John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty. But allow me to read ashort passage from it: ‘The peculiar evil of silencing the e某pression of an opinion is, that it isrobbing the human race; posterity as well as the e某isting generation; those who dissent fromthe opinion, still more than those who hold it.’ He continued: ‘If the opinion is right, they are de prived of the opportunity of e某changingerror for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perceptionand livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.’ Mill would have been horrified to learn of university students silencing the opinions of others. Hewould have been even more horrified that faculty members were often part of thecommencement censorship campaigns.For tenured faculty members to silence speakers whose views they disagree with is the heightof hypocrisy, especially when these protests happen in the northeast – a bastion of self-professed liberal tolerance.I’m glad to say, however, that Harvard has not caved in to these commencement censorshipcampaigns. If it had, Colorado State Senator Michael Johnston would not have had the chanceto address the Education School yesterday.Some students called on the administration to rescind the invitation to Johnston becausethey opposed some of his education policies. But to their great credit, President Faust andDean Ryan stood firm.As Dean Ryan wrote to students: ‘I have encountered many people of good faith who share mybasic goals but disagree with my own views when it comes to the question of how best toimprove education. In my view, those differences should be e某plored, debated, challenged, andquestioned. But they should also be respected and, indeed, celebrated.’He could not have been more correct, and he could not have provided a more valuable finallesson to the class of 2019.As a former chairman of Johns Hopkins, I strongly believe that a university’s obligation is notto teach students what to think but to teach students how to think. And that requires listeningto the other side, weighing arguments without prejudging them, and determining whether theother side might actually make some fair points.If the faculty fails to do this, then it is the responsibility of the administration and governingbody to step in and make it a priority. If they do not, if students graduate with ears and mindsclosed, the university has failed both the student and society.And if you want to know where that leads, look no further than Washington, D.C.Down in Washington, every major question facing our country –involving our security, oureconomy, our environment, and our health –is decided.Yet the two parties decide these questions not by engaging with one another, but by trying toshout each other down, and by trying to repress and undermine research that runs counterto their ideology. Themore our universities emulate that model, the worse off we will be as asociety.And let me give you an e某ample: For decades, Congress has barred the Centers for DiseaseControl from conducting studies of gun violence, and recently Congress also placed thatprohibition on the National Institute of Health. You have to ask yourself: What are they afraidof?This year, the Senate has delayed a vote on President Obama’s nominee for Surgeon General –Dr. Vivek Murthy, a Harvard physician –because he had the audacity to say that gunviolence is a public health crisis that should be tackled. The gall of him!Let’s get serious: When 86 Americans are killed with guns every single day, and shootingsregularly occur at our schools and universities –including last week’s tragedy at Santa Barbara– it would be almost medical malpractice to say anything else.But in politics –as it is on too many college campuses –people don’t listen to facts that runcounter to their id eology. They fear them. And nothing is more frightening to them thanscientific evidence.Earlier this year, the State of South Carolina adopted new science standards for its publicschools – but the state legislature blocked any mention of natural sel ection. That’s liketeaching economics – without mentioning supply and demand.Again, you have to ask: What are they afraid of?The answer, of course, is obvious: Just as members of Congress fear data that underminestheir ideological beliefs, these state legislators fear scientific evidence that undermines theirreligious beliefs.And if you want proof of that, consider this: An 8-year oldgirl in South Carolina wrote tomembers of the state legislature urging them to make the Woolly Mammoth the official statefossil. The legislators thought it was a great idea, because a Woolly Mammoth fossil was foundin the state way back in 1725. But the state senate passed a bill defining the Woolly Mammothas having been ‘created on the 6th day with the bea sts of the field.’You can’t make this stuff up.Here in 21st century America, the wall between church and state remains under attack –andit’s up to all of us to man the barricades.Unfortunately, the same elected officials who put ideology and religion over data and sciencewhen it comes to guns and evolution are often the most unwilling to accept the scientificdata on climate change.Now, don’t get me wrong: scientific skepticism is healthy. But there is a world of differencebetween scientific skepticism that seeks out more evidence and ideological stubbornness thatshuts it out.Given the general attitude of many elected officials toward science it’s no wonder that thefederal government has abdicated its responsibility to invest in scientific research, much ofwhich occurs at our universities.Today, federal spending on research and development as a percentage of GDP is lower than ithas been in more than 50 years whichis allowing the rest of the world to catch up – and evensurpass –the U.S. in scientific research.The federal government is flunking science, just as many state governments are.We must not become a country that turns our back on science, or on each other. And yougraduates must help lead the way.On every issue, we must follow the evidence where it leads and listen to people where theyare. If we do that, there is no problem wecannot solve. No gridlock we cannot break. Nocompromise we cannot broker.The more we embrace a free e某change of ideas, and the more we accept that politicaldiversity is healthy, the stronger our society will be.Now, I know this has not been a traditional commencement speech, and it may keep mefrom passing a dissertation defense in the humanities department, but there is no easy timeto say hard things.Graduates: Throughout your lives, do not be afraid of saying what you believe is right, nomatter how unpopular it may be, especially when it comes to defending the rights of others.Standing up for the rights of others is in some ways even more important than standing up foryour own rights. Because when people seek to repress freedom for some, and you remainsilent, you are complicit in that repression and you may well become its victim.Do not be complicit, and do not follow the crowd. Speak up, and fight back.You will take your lumps, I can assure you of that. You will lose some friends and make someenemies. But the arc of history will be on your side, and our nation will be stronger for it.Now, all of you graduates have earned today’s celebration, and you have a lot to be proud ofand a lot to be grateful for. So tonight, as you leave this great university behind, have one lastScorpion Bowl at the Kong –on second thought, don’t – and tomorrow, get to work making ourcountry and our world freer than ever, for everyone.Good luck and God bless.11。

I've been living in Los Angeles for two years, and I've never been this cold in my life. I will pay anyone here $300 for GORE-TEX gloves. Anybody. I'm serious. I have the cash.Before I begin, I must point out that behind me sits a highly admired President of the United States and decorated war hero while I, a cable television talk show host, has been chosen to stand here and impart wisdom. I pray I never witness a more damning example of whatis wrong with America today.Graduates, faculty, parents, relatives, undergraduates, and old people that just come to these things: Good morning andcongratulations to the Dartmouth Class of 2011. Today, you have achieved something special, something only 92 percent of Americans your age will ever know: a college diploma. That’s right, with your college diploma you now have a crushing advantage over 8 percent of the workforce. I'm talking about dropout losers like Bill Gates,Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg. Incidentally, speaking of Mr. Zuckerberg, only at Harvard would someone have to invent a massive social network just to talk with someone in the next room.My first job as your commencement speaker is to illustrate that life is not fair. For example, you have worked tirelessly for four years to earn the diploma you’ll be receiving this weekend.That was great.And Dartmouth is giving me the same degree for interviewing the fourth lead in Twilight. Deal with it. Another example that life is not fair: if it does rain, the powerful rich people on stage get the tent. Deal with it.I would like to thank President Kim for inviting me here today. After my phone call with President Kim, I decided to find out alittle bit about the man. He goes by President Kim and Dr. Kim. To his friends, he's Jim Kim, J to the K, Special K, JK Rowling, the Just Kidding Kimster, and most puzzling, "Stinky Pete." He served as the chair of the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, spearheaded a task force for the World Health Organization on Global Health Initiatives, won a MacArthur Genius Grant, and was one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2006. Good God, man, what the hell are you compensating for Seriously. We get it. You're smart. By the way Dr. Kim, you were brought to Dartmouth to lead, and as a world-class anthropologist, you were also hired to figure out why each of these graduating students ran around a bonfire 111 times.But I thank you for inviting me here, Stinky Pete, and it is an honor. Though some of you may see me as a celebrity, you should know that I once sat where you sit. Literally. Late last night I snuck out here and sat in every seat. I did it to prove a point: I am notbright and I have a lot of free time.But this is a wonderful occasion and it is great to be here in New Hampshire, where I am getting an honorary degree and all thelegal fireworks I can fit in the trunk of my car.You know, New Hampshire is such a special place. When I arrived I took a deep breath of this crisp New England air and thought, "Wow, I'm in the state that's next to the state where Ben and Jerry's ice cream is made."But don't get me wrong, I take my task today very seriously. When I got the call two months ago to be your speaker, I decided to prepare with the same intensity many of you have devoted to an important term paper. So late last night, I began. I drank two cans of Red Bull, snorted some Adderall, played a few hours of Call of Duty, and then opened my browser. I think Wikipedia put it best when they said "Dartmouth College is a private Ivy League University in Hanover, New Hampshire, United States." Thank you and good luck.To communicate with you students today, I have gone to great lengths to become well-versed in your unique linguistic patterns. Infact, just this morning I left Baker Berry with my tripee Barry toeat a Billy Bob at the Bema when my flitz to Francesca was Blitz jacked by some d-bag on his FSP.Yes, I've done my research. This college was named after the Second Earl of Dartmouth, a good friend of the Third Earl of UC Santa Cruz and the Duke of the Barbizon School of Beauty. Your school motto is "Vox clamantis in deserto," which means "Voice crying out in the wilderness." This is easily the most pathetic school motto I haveever heard. Apparently, it narrowly beat out "Silently Weeping in Thick Shrub" and "Whimpering in Moist Leaves without Pants." Your school color is green, and this color was chosen by Frederick Matherin 1867 because, and this is true—I looked it up—"it was the only color that had not been taken already." I cannot remember hearing anything so sad. Dartmouth, you have an inferiority complex, and you should not. You have graduated more great fictitious Americans than any other college. Meredith Grey of Grey's Anatomy. Pete Campbellfrom Mad Men. Michael Corleone from The Godfather. In fact, I look forward to next years' Valedictory Address by your esteemed classmate, Count Chocula. Of course, your greatest fictitious graduate is Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Man, can you imagine if a real Treasury Secretary made those kinds of decisionsHa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Now I know what you're going to say, Dartmouth, you're going to say, well "We've got Dr. Seuss." Well guess what, we're all tired of hearing about Dr. Seuss. Face it: The man rhymed fafloozle with saznoozle. In the literary community,that's called cheating.Your insecurity is so great, Dartmouth, that you don't even think you deserve a real podium. I'm sorry. What the hell is this thingIt looks like you stole it from the set of Survivor: Nova Scotia. Seriously, it looks like something a bear would use at an AA meeting.No, Dartmouth, you must stand tall. Raise your heads high and feel proud.Because if Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are your self-involved, vain, name-dropping older brothers, you are the cool, sexually confident, lacrosse playing younger sibling who knows how to throw a party and looks good in a down vest. Brown, of course, is your lesbian sister who never leaves her room. And Penn, Columbia, and Cornell—well, frankly, who gives a shit.Yes, I've always had a special bond with this school. In fact, this is my second time coming here. When I was 17 years old and touring colleges, way back in the fall of 1980, I came to Dartmouth. Dartmouth was a very different place back then. I made the trip upfrom Boston on a mule and, after asking the blacksmith in West Lebfor directions, I came to this beautiful campus. No dormitories had been built yet, so I stayed with a family of fur traders in White River Junction. It snowed heavily during my visit and I was trapped here for four months. I was forced to eat the mule, who a weekearlier had been forced to eat the fur traders. Still, I loved Dartmouth and I vowed to return.But fate dealt a heavy blow. With no money, I was forced to enroll in a small, local commuter school, a pulsating sore on a muddy elbow of the Charles River.I was a miserable wretch, and to this day I cannot help but wonder: What if I had gone to Dartmouth?If I had gone to Dartmouth, I might have spent at least some of my college years outside and today I might not be allergic to all plant life, as well as most types of rock.If I had gone to Dartmouth, right now I'd be wearing a fleece thong instead of a lace thong.If I had gone to Dartmouth, I still wouldn't know the second verse to "Dear Old Dartmouth." Face it, none of you do. You all mumble that part.If I had gone to Dartmouth, I'd have a liver the size and consistency of a bean bag chair.Finally, if I had gone to Dartmouth, today I'd be getting an honorary degree at Harvard. Imagine how awesome that would be.You are a great school, and you deserve a historic commencement address. That's right, I want my message today to be forever remembered because it changed the world. To do this, I must suggest groundbreaking policy. Winston Churchill gave his famous "Iron Curtain" speech at Westminster College in 1946. JFK outlined his nuclear disarmament policy at American University in 1963. Today, I would like to set forth my own policy here at Dartmouth: I call it "The Conan Doctrine." Under "The Conan Doctrine":- All bachelor degrees will be upgraded to master's degrees.All master's degrees will be upgraded to PhDs. And all MBA students will be immediatelytransferred to a white collar prison.- Under "The Conan Doctrine," Winter Carnival will become Winter Carnivale and be moved to Rio. Clothing will be optional, all expenses paid by the Alumni Association.- Your nickname, the Big Green, will be changed to something more kick-ass like "The Jade Blade," the "Seafoam Avenger," or simply "Lime-Zilla."- The D-Plan and "quarter system" will finally be updated to "the one sixty-fourth system." Semesters will last three days.Students will be encouraged to take 48 semesters off. They must, however, be on campus during their Sophomore 4th of July.- Under "The Conan Doctrine," I will re-instate Tubestock. And I will punish those who tried to replace it with Fieldstock. Rafting and beer are a much better combination than a field and a beer. I happen to know that in two years, they were going to downgrade Fieldstock to Deskstock, seven hours of fun sitting quietly at your desk. Don't let those bastards do it.And finally, under "The Conan Doctrine," all commencement speakers who shamelessly pander with cheap, inside references designed to get childish applause, will be forced to apologize—to the greatest graduating class in the history of the world. Dartmouth class of 2011 rules!Besides policy, another hallmark of great commencement speeches is deep, profound advice like "reach for the stars." Well today, I am not going t o waste your time with empty clichés. Instead, I am going to give you real, practical advice that you will need to know if you are going to survive the next few years.- First, adult acne lasts longer than you think. I almost cancelled two days ago because I had a zit on my eye.- Guys, this is important: You cannot iron a shirt while wearing it.- Here's another one. If you live on Ramen Noodles for too long, you lose all feelings in your hands and your stool becomes a white gel.- And finally, wearing colorful Converse high-tops beneath your graduation robe is a great way to tell your classmates that this is just the first of many horrible decisions you plan to make with the rest of your life.Of course there are many parents here and I have real advicefor them as well. Parents, you should write this down:- Many of your children you haven't seen them in four years. Well, now you are about to see them every day when they come out of the basement to tell you the wi-fi isn't working.- If your child majored in fine arts or philosophy, you have good reason to be worried. The only place where they are now really qualified to get a job is ancient Greece. Good luck with that degree.- The traffic today on East Wheelock is going to be murder, so once they start handing out diplomas, you should slip out in the middle of the K's.And, I have to tell you this:- You will spend more money framing your child's diploma than they will earn in the next six months. It's tough out there, so bepatient. The only people hiring right now are Panera Bread and Mexican drug cartels.Yes, you parents must be patient because it is indeed a grim job market out there. And one of the reasons it's so tough finding work is that aging baby boomers refuse to leave their jobs. Trust me on this. Even when they promise you for five years that they are going to leave—and say it on television—I mean you can go on YouTube right now and watch the guy do it, there is no guarantee they won't come back. Of course I'm speaking generally.But enough. This is not a time for grim prognostications or negativity. No, I came here today because, believe it or not, I actually do have something realto tell you.Eleven years ago I gave an address to a graduating class at Harvard. I have not spoken at a graduation since because I thought I had nothing left to say. But then 2010 came. And now I'm here, three thousand miles from my home, because I learned a hard but profound lesson last year and I'd like to share it with you. In 2000, I told graduates "Don't be afraid to fail." Well now I'm here to tell you that, though you should not fear failure, you should do your very best to avoid it. Nietzsche famously said "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." But what he failed to stress is that it almostkills you. Disappointment stings and, for driven, successful people like yourselves it is disorienting. What Nietzsche should have saidis "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you watch a lot of Cartoon Network and drink mid-price Chardonnay at 11 in the morning."Now, by definition, Commencement speakers at an Ivy League college are considered successful. But a little over a year ago, I experienced a profound and very public disappointment. I did not get what I wanted, and I left a system that had nurtured and helped define me for the better part of 17 years. I went from being in the center of the grid to not only off the grid, but underneath the coffee table that the grid sits on, lost in the shag carpeting thatis underneath the coffee table supporting the grid. It was the making of a career disaster, and a terrible analogy.But then something spectacular happened. Fogbound, with no compass, and adrift, I started trying things. I grew a strange, cinnamon beard. I dove into the world of social media. I started tweeting my comedy. I threw together a national tour. I played the guitar. I did stand-up, wore a skin-tight blue leather suit, recorded an album, made a documentary, and frightened my friends and family. Ultimately, I abandoned all preconceived perceptions of my career path and stature and took a job on basic cable with a network most famous for showing reruns, along with sitcoms created by a tall,black man who dresses like an old, black woman. I did a lot of silly, unconventional, spontaneous and seemingly irrational things and guess what: with the exception of the blue leather suit, it was the most satisfying and fascinating year of my professional life. To this day I still don't understand exactly what happened, but I have never had more fun, been more challenged—and this is important—had more conviction about what I was doing.How could this be trueWell, it's simple: There are few things more liberating in thislife than having your worst fear realized. I went to college with many people who prided themselves on knowing exactly who they were and exactly where they were going. At Harvard, five different guys in my class told me that they would one day be President of the United States. Four of them were later killed in motel shoot-outs. The other one briefly hosted Blues Clues, before dying senselessly in yet another motel shoot-out. Your path at 22 will not necessarily be your path at 32 or 42. One's dream is constantly evolving, rising and falling, changing course. This happens in every job, but because I have worked in comedy for twenty-five years, I can probably speak best about my own profession.Way back in the 1940s there was a very, very funny man named Jack Benny. He was a giant star, easily one of the greatest comedians of his generation. And amuch younger man named Johnny Carson wanted very much to be Jack Benny. In some ways he was, but in many ways he wasn't. He emulated Jack Benny, but his own quirks and mannerisms, along with a changing medium, pulled him in a different direction. And yet his failure to completely become his hero made him the funniest person of his generation. David Letterman wanted to be Johnny Carson, and was not, and as a result my generation of comedians wanted to be David Letterman. And none of us are. My peers and I have all missed that mark in a thousand different ways. But the point is this : It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It's not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right, your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound re-invention.So, at the age of 47, after 25 years of obsessively pursuing my dream, that dream changed. For decades, in show business, theultimate goal of every comedian was to host The Tonight Show. It was the Holy Grail, and like many people I thought that achieving that goal would define me as successful. But that is not true. No specific job or career goal defines me, and it should not define you. In2000—in 2000—I told graduates to not be afraid to fail, and I still believe that. But today I tell you that whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.Many of you here today are getting your diploma at this Ivy League school because you have committed yourself to a dream and worked hard to achieve it. And there is no greater cliché in a commencement address than "follow your dream." Well I am here to tell you that whatever you think your dream is now, it will probably change. And that's okay. Four years ago, many of you had a specific vision of what your college experience was going to be and who you were going to become. And I bet, today, most of you would admit that your time here was very different from what you imagined. Your roommates changed, your major changed, for some of you your sexual orientation changed. I bet some of you have changed your sexual orientation since I began this speech. I know I have. But through the good and especially the bad, the person you are now is someone you could never have conjured in the fall of 2007.I have told you many things today, most of it foolish but some of it true. I'd like to end my address by breaking a taboo and quoting myself from 17 months ago. At the end of my final programwith NBC, just before signing off, I said "Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen." Today, receiving this honor and speaking to the Dartmouth Class of 2011 from behind a tree-trunk, I have never believed that more.Thank you very much, and congratulations.。

Ellen杜兰大学毕业演讲稿英文Thank you, President Cowan, Mrs. President Cowen; distinguished guests, undistinguished guests - you know who you are, honored faculty and creepy Spanish teacher. And thank you to all the graduating class of 20xx, I realize most of you are hun er and have splitting headaches and haven't slept since Fat Tuesday, but you can't graduate 'til I finish, so listen up.When I was asked to make the mencement speech, I immediately said yes. Then I went to look up what mencement meant. Which would have been easy if I had a dictionary, but most of the books in our house are Portia's, and they're all written in Australian. So I had to break the word down myself, to find out the meaning.mencement: mon, and cement. mon cement. You monly see cement on sidewalks. 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 mon 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 pletely 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, my point is that, by the time I was your age, I really thought I knew who I was, but I hadno 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 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 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 sit , 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 e out and make it creative. And my character would e 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 mitted 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'twant 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 passionate person. to contribute in some way. 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 e 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 pla 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 mon 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。
杨澜 Ted演讲 中英版
Yang Lan: The generation that's remaking China杨澜：重塑中国的一代The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of "China's Got Talent" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle. And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day." She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese:送你葱] So it's not like "hello" or "thank you," that ordinary stuff. It means "green onion for free." Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious.在我去苏格兰的前一晚，中国达人秀邀请我到上海主持总决赛体育馆的现场有八万名观众.知道特别嘉宾是谁吗？苏珊大妈.我告诉她，“我明天要去苏格兰."她不但歌声非常动听，还学会了说几句中文.她说:“送你葱”这句话的意思不是“你好,”“谢谢,”那类的话."送你葱"意思是“免费的大葱.”她为什么要说这句话呢?因为“送你葱”是来自有着"中国苏珊大妈"之称的一位五十多岁在上海卖菜的女摊贩,她非常喜欢西方歌剧,但她不懂歌词的意思也不会说英语,法语,或是意大利语,所以她以独特的方式来记歌词将歌词全部换成蔬菜名.（笑声）意大利歌剧公主彻夜未眠的最后一句她当时就是以"送你葱"来演唱的.当苏珊大妈说了这句话的时候,现场的八万名观众一起跟着唱了起来.当时的场面十分有趣.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference.我想苏珊大妈还有那位上海的卖菜大婶都有她们的独特之处.大家通常会觉得她们无法在娱乐圈这个行业里闯出天下,但是才能和勇气让她们得到了肯定.一场秀和一个平台让她们有了一个可以圆梦的舞台.其实要与众不同不是什么难事.我们都有独特之处从不同的角度来看.但我觉得与众不同其实很好,因为你有不同的想法.你也许可以在某一方面有影响.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it's still there. So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, "So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?" I summoned my courage and poise and said, "Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?" I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.我这个年代的人是幸运的我们目睹并参与了中国历史性的变化.在过去的二，三十年里中国发生了很多变化.我还记得1990年的时候.我刚好读完大学,我当时申请了一个营销的工作地点是北京的一个五星级宾馆,这个宾馆现在还有,叫喜来登长城饭店.在被一位日本经理询问了半小时之后,他在面试要结束时说,"杨小姐，你有问题要问我吗?"我鼓起了勇气，镇定地问，"你能不能告诉我,你们卖什么的?"因为我当时完全不知道一个五星级饭店的销售部要做什么.那是我第一次走进一家五星级饭店.Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls. The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, "Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?" I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they were impressed by my words. And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it. So I was on a national television prime-time show. And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script. (Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.与此同时,我参加了由中国国家电台举办的试听会这是第一个向大众开放的试听会现场还有上千名的女大生.制作人告诉我们他们在找甜美，单纯和漂亮的新面孔.当轮到我的时候,我起身问道,"为什么在电视上的女人一定要长得漂亮，甜美，单纯还要配合度高?为什么她们不能有自己的想法说自己的话?"我以为我的话可能有点冒犯了评委.但我的话反而得到了他们的认同.因此我进入了第二回合,然后第三，第四.在第七回合比赛结束后,我战胜了所有的选手.我也因此在加入了黄金档的一个节目.你也许不敢相信,这个节目是中国第一个允许主持人表达他们自己的想法他们不需要念之前写好的稿.（掌声）我当时每周的观众人数达到200-300万.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career. So we do a lot of things. I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, "Lan, you changed my life," and I feel proud of that. But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country. I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games. I was representing the Shanghai Expo. I saw China embracing the world and vice versa. But then sometimes I'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?几年以后,我决定去美国的哥伦比亚大学读研究,同时也创办了自己的媒体公司,这个想法在我刚刚入行的时候并不存在.公司的项目分很多类.我访问过的人数已经过千.有时候年轻人会对我说,"杨澜姐,你改变了我的人生,"这些话让我感到骄傲.我觉我这代人很幸运因为我们看到了整个国家的兴起.北京竞标奥运的举办权我有在场.我也代表了上海市博会.我看到了中国拥抱全世界也看到了全世界拥抱中国.但我有时会想,现在的年轻人到底要做什么?他们到底有什么不同之处,有什么样的变化会因他们而产生这些变化会怎样改变中国，甚至整个世界?So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media. First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful. She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter. And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce. She didn't realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross. The controversy was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.所以我今天的话题是关于年轻一代通过社交媒体的平台来认识他们.首先，他们是谁?长得什么样?照片上的女孩叫郭美美20岁，很漂亮.在她的微博上,她炫耀了自己的名牌包,衣服,还有车在她的微博上,微博是中国版的Twitter.她还说自己是商会红十字会在商会的一名经理。

著名脱口秀主持人艾伦•德詹尼丝杜兰大学毕业英语演讲稿Thank you, President Cowan, Mrs. President Cowen; distinguished guests, undistinguishedguests you know who you are, honored faculty and creepy Spanish teacher.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（众人笑），诚心感谢大家……以及讨厌的西班牙语老师（众人大笑）And thank you to all the graduating class of 2019,I realize most of you are hungover and havesplitting headaches and haven't slept since Fat Tuesday, but you can't graduate 'til I finish, solisten up.感谢所有2019届的毕业生，我知道你们绝大多数人还因为宿醉头痛欲裂，狂欢到今天都还没睡，但是没听完我的演讲不能毕业，所以都听好了!（学生们欢呼）When I was asked to make the commencement speech,I immediately said yes. Then I wentto look up what commencementmeant. Which would have been easy if I had a dictionary, butmost of the books in our house arePortia's, and they're all written in Australian. So I had tobreak the word down myself, to find out the meaning.当我被问是否来参加毕业典礼演讲的时候，我立刻就回答了：yes!……然后我才去查“毕业典礼”是什么意思（众人笑）。
如果我有字典的话就轻松多了，但我家的书大多是portia 的（ellen 的妻子，澳大利亚人）而且都是澳洲文（众人笑），所以……我得自己摸索，去找出这个词的意思。
Commencement: common, and cement. Common cement. You commonly see cement onsidewalks. Sidewalks have cracks, and if you step on a crack, you break your mother's back. Sothere's that. But rm honored that you've asked me here to speak at your common cement.“commencement毕业典礼” ：commen常见的+cement 水泥，常见的水泥（众人大笑）你常常见到水泥，在人行道上，人行道有裂缝，你要是踩到裂缝，就会撞伤你妈妈的背（大家笑），所以大概意思就是这样了（笑声）I thought that you had to be a famous alumnus alumini aluminum alumis you had tograduate from this school. And I didn't go to college here, and I don't know if President Cowanknows, I didn't go to any college at all. Any college. And rm not saying you wasted your time,or money, but look at me, I"m a huge celebrity.但我很荣幸被邀请来做你们的“常见的水泥”的演讲。
我以为非得是又有名，又是你们学校的校友才能来……我没有在这里念过大学，我不知校长先生是否知道，我完全没上过大学…任何一间大学！我倒不是在说你们在浪费时间和金钱，不过看看我，我是个超级成功的大名人唉!（大家爆笑）Although I did graduate from the school of hard knocks, our mascot was the knockers. I spent alot of time here growing up. My mom worked at （估计是某家商店的名字）and I would go thereevery time I needed to steal something out of her purse. But why amI here today Clearly notto steal, you're too far away and rd never get away with it.事实上我在这里度过许多成长的岁月，我妈妈在这里工作时，我常来找她.................. 每当我要偷她钱包里的钱时（大家笑）但我今天在这里的原因，显然不是要偷你们的钱……rm here because of you. Because I can't think of a more tenacious, more courageousgraduating class. I mean, look at you all, wearing your robes. Usually when you're wearing arobe at 10 in the morning, it means you've given up. I'm here because I love New Orleans. Iwas born and raised here, I spent my formative years here, and like you, while I was living hereI only did laundry six times.我在这里是因为你们，因为没有比你们更优秀更勇敢的毕业生了。
看看你们每一个人，身穿你们的袍子（学士袍）, 通常我们说在早上10点还穿着袍子（睡袍）代表你放弃人生了（大家大笑）。
我在这里，因为我爱纽奥良，我在这里出生成长，在此度过少年时光，正如你们一样，当我住这里时，我只洗过6次衣服（众人笑）。
Whenl finished school, I was completely lost. And by school, I mean middle school, but I wentahead and finished high school anyway. And I I really, I had no ambition, I didn't know whatI wanted to do. I did everything from I shucked oysters, I was a hostess, I was a bartender, Iwas a waitress, I painted houses, I sold vaccuum cleaners, I had no idea. And I thought rd justfinally settle in some job, and I would make enough money to pay my rent, maybe have basiccable, maybenot, I didn't really have a plan, mypoint is that, by the time I was your age, Ireally thought I knew who I was, but I had no idea. Like for example, when I was your age, Iwas dating men. So what rm saying is, when you're older, most of you will be gay. Anyonewriting this stuff down Parents当我从学校毕业的时候，我完完全全迷失了自我，学校我指的是初中（大家笑），后来我也继续念完了高中。
我当时，没有任何的野心，不知道自己想做什么。
我什么工作都做，我挖生蚝，当带位员，做酒保，当服务生，粉刷房子，卖吸尘器……完全不知道自己想做什么。
我只想随便找个糊口的工作，过一辈子，能有钱负得起房租就行，我完全没有任何计划。
我想说的是，当我像你们这么大的时候，我真的以为我了解自己，但其实我并不了解，举例来说，我像你们这么大的时候，还在和男人约会（大家大笑）。
所以我的意思是：当你们再长大些后，大多数的人，都会是gay!（场内爆笑，ellen自己也笑了）Anyway, I had no idea what I wanted to do with mylife, and the way I ended up on this pathwas from a very tragic event. I was maybe 19, and my girlfriend at the time was killed in a caraccident. And I passed the accident, and I didn't know it was her and I kept going, and I foundout shortly after that, it was her. And Iwas living in a basement apartment, I had no money, Ihad no heat, no air, I had a mattress on the floor and the apartment was infested with I was soulsearching, I was like, why is she suddenly gone, and there are fleas here I don'tunderstand, there must be a purpose, and wouldn't it be so convenient if we could pick upthe phone and call God, and ask these questions.总之，当时我不知道我的人生要干嘛，而最后我找到了我人生目标，却是因为一件十分悲惨的事。
