Ellen DeGeneres在纽奥良大学的毕业典礼——You’re gnclusion, 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 some way.

英语演讲稿经典名人英语演讲稿47：选择塑造人生（Amazon杰夫·贝索斯普林斯顿大学演讲）mp3But that I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy---they’re given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you’re not careful, and if you do, it’ll probably be to the detriment of your choices.但是今天我想对你们说的是，天赋和选择不同。
聪明是一种天赋，而善良是一种选择。
天赋得来很容易——毕竟它们与生俱来。
而选择却颇为艰难。
如果一不小心你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。
This is a group with many gifts. I’m sure one of your gifts is the gift of a smart and capable brain. I’m confident that’s the case because admission is competitive and if there weren’t some signs that you’re clever, the dean of admission wouldn’t have let you in.在应各位都拥有许多夭赋。
我确信你们的天赋之一就是拥有精明能干的头脑。
我之所以如此确信，是因为入学竞争十分激烈，如果你们不能表现出聪明智慧，便没有资格进入这所学校。
贝索斯在普林斯顿大学2010年学士毕业典礼上的演讲)
在我还是一个孩子的时候，我的夏天总是在德州祖父母的农场中度过。
我帮忙修理风车，为牛接种疫苗，也做其它家务。
每天下午，我们都会看肥皂剧，尤其是《我们的岁月》。
我的祖父母参加了一个房车俱乐部，那是一群驾驶Airstream拖挂型房车的人们，他们结伴遍游美国和加拿大。
每隔几个夏天，我也会加入他们。
我们把房车挂在祖父的小汽车后面，然后加入300余名Airstream探险者们组成的浩荡队伍。
我爱我的祖父母，我崇敬他们，也真心期盼这些旅程。
那是一次我大概十岁时的旅行，我照例坐在后座的长椅上，祖父开着车，祖母坐在他旁边，吸着烟。
我讨厌烟味。
在那样的年纪，我会找任何借口做些估测或者小算术。
我会计算油耗还有杂货花销等鸡毛蒜皮的小事。
我听过一个有关吸烟的广告。
我记不得细节了，但是广告大意是说，每吸一口香烟会减少几分钟的寿命，大概是两分钟。
无论如何，我决定为祖母做个算术。
我估测了祖母每天要吸几支香烟，每支香烟要吸几口等等，然后心满意足地得出了一个合理的数字。
接着，我捅了捅坐在前面的祖母的头，又拍了拍她的肩膀，然后骄傲地宣称，“每天吸两分钟的烟，你就少活九年!”我清晰地记得接下来发生了什么，而那是我意料之外的。
我本期待着小聪明和算术技巧能赢得掌声，但那并没有发生。
相反，我的祖母哭泣起来。
我的祖父之前一直在默默开车，把车停在了路边，走下车来，打开了我的车门，等着我跟他下车。
我惹麻烦了吗?我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。
他从来没有对我说过严厉的话，难道这会是第一次?还是他会让我回到车上跟祖母道歉?我以前从未遇到过这种状况，因而也无从知晓会有什么后果发生。
我们在房车旁停下来。
祖父注视着我，沉默片刻，然后轻轻地、平静地说：“杰夫，有一天你会明白，善良比聪明更难。
”选择比天赋更重要今天我想对你们说的是，天赋和选择不同。
聪明是一种天赋，而善良是一种选择。
天赋得来很容易——毕竟它们与生俱来。
而选择则颇为不易。
如果一不小心，你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。

亚马逊创始人jeff bezos在普林斯顿大学20XX年毕业典礼上的讲话（Speech by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos at Princeton University's graduation ceremony in 2010）“我们就是我们的选择”杰夫·贝佐斯的演讲，作为2010班的学生学士学位20XX年5月30日小时候，我和祖父母一起在德克萨斯的农场度过夏天。
我帮助修理风车，给牛接种疫苗，做其他家务。
我们也看肥皂剧，每天下午，尤其是“我们的日子”。
我的祖父母是一个房车俱乐部，一组气流拖车车主们一起旅行，在美国和加拿大。
每隔几个夏天，我也会加入他们。
我们把房车挂在我爷爷的车，然后我们就去了，在一个与其他300个气流冒险家线。
我爱并崇拜我的祖父母，我真的很期待这些旅行。
有一次，我10岁。
我在汽车后面的大板凳上打滚。
我爷爷在开车。
我祖母有乘客座位。
她在这些旅行中抽烟，我讨厌这种气味。
在那个年龄，我会找任何借口做估计，做一些小算术。
我会计算我们的汽油里程——计算出诸如杂货消费之类的无用统计数据。
我听过一个有关吸烟的广告活动。
我记不清细节了，但基本上广告说，每吸一支烟就要花掉你几分钟的时间：我想每发一次烟可能要两分钟。
无论如何，我决定为我的祖母计算数学。
我估计每一天香烟的数量，估计每支香烟的数量，等等。
当我很满意我想出了一个合理的数字时，我把头伸到汽车前面，轻轻拍了拍奶奶的肩膀，自豪地宣称：“每两分钟一次，你就把你的生命浪费了九年！”我对所发生的事情有一个清晰的记忆，而不是我所期望的。
我期待着为我的聪明和算术技巧而鼓掌。
”杰夫，你真聪明。
你必须做一些棘手的估计，算出一年中的分钟数，然后做一些除法。
相反，我的祖母突然大哭起来。
我坐在后座，不知道该怎么做。
我祖母坐在那里哭，我祖父默默地开车，把车停在公路的路肩上。
他下了车，转过身来，打开我的门，等着我跟着。
我遇到麻烦了吗？我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。
布什演讲稿(中英对照)演讲范文
布什演讲稿（中英对照）演讲范文Thank you!Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush President Clinton, distinguished guests and myfellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet mon in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have e before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story -- a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances oftheir birth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided bya power larger than our selves who creates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new mitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, passion and character.America, at its best, matches a mitment to principle with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy todrift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of munity over chaos. And this mitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared acplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending mon dangers defined our mon good. Now we must choose if the e_le of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. Wemust show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce ta_es, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power thatf avors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. Andto all nations, we will speak for the values that gaveour nation birth.America, at its best, is passionate. In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agreethat children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and mon schools. Yet passion is the work of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our munities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler onthe road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued ande_pected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in mitments. And we find that children and munity are the mitments that set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we arecalled to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and passion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of ourtimes.What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a mon good beyond your fort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building munities of service and a nation of character.Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?"Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The yearsand changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.谢谢大家！尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官卡特总统布什总统克林顿总统尊敬的来宾们我的同胞们这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的但在美国是平常的。

背后故事：抵抗天赋的诱惑JeffBezos在普林斯顿的毕业典礼演讲稿
背后故事：抵抗天赋的诱惑JeffBezos在普林斯顿的毕业典礼演讲稿。
一、谷歌的失败Jeff Bezos在演讲中提到了谷歌的失败。
谷歌的前CEO，Eric Schmidt，曾说过：“天赋是很重要的，但不足以成功。
做得更好的是，要有一个刻意的过程。
” Schmidt也许不曾想到，对于大多数人而言，让天赋见效，通常会比刻意练习更难。
在谷歌仍然处于初创期的时候，该公司的工程师 Ron Conway 提供了 $50,000美元的风险投资，以便他有机会投资该公司。
不幸的是，当时 Ron Conway 束手无策，没能抓住这个机会。
二十多年后，当 Conway 获得了 $50,000美元的利润时，他同谷歌一度失去联系。
Eric Schmidt 向 Ron Conway 描述了他当时的一种观点：谷歌的创造者具有与生俱来的技能，而这种技能是无法复制的。
他们有一种特殊的奇纳老字号基因，能够构建这样一种庞大的机器，这个机器用它们的搜索算法可以理解互联网，并找到你搜索的任何内容。
Eric Schmidt 的信仰是，谷歌的创造者是那种与生俱来的技能的化身。
二、打破天赋理论然而，任总也指出了天赋理论的不足之处。
如果一直相信，每个人都是天生高手，那么人就很容易把天赋视为绝对优势。
这将导致一些人不去尝试新的领域，因为他们相信已经达到极限了。
而那些原本不被认为是高手的人则更容易尝试新的领域，因为他们知道他们距离天赋差得更远。
这种反思，彰显出了他的人性和责任。
在与微软创始人比尔·盖茨的对话中，Bezos认为如果人们只注重“才华（talent）”，那么他们就必然会遇到局限和挫折。
他们必须要有冷静和操纵来应对生命中各种挑战，并把握到机会的时刻。
人们可以通过工作和实践来提高自己，不可停步于才华，这是他的信念。
三、抵抗天赋的诱惑Jeff Bezos说，我们必须要抵抗天赋的诱惑。
如果你相信你有一项非常特别的天赋，那么一旦这项才能在某些领域落后，你可能就会被拖入问题的汪洋大海中，在那里无法挣脱。

天赋得来很容易——毕竟它们与生俱来。
而选择却颇为艰难。
如果一不小心，你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。

亚马逊总裁jeff-bezos普林斯顿大学演讲-princeton-address-2010Editor's note: These remarks are from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos commencement speech to Princeton's Class of 2010, delivered on May 30, 2010.As a kid, I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills, vaccinate cattle, and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon, especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club, a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers, we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car, and off we'd go, in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip, I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips, and I hated the smell.At that age, I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details, but basically the ad said, every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate, I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days, estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number, I poked my head into the front of the car, tapped my grandmother on the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, "At two minutes per puff, you've taken nine years off your life!"I have a vivid memory of what happened, and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff, you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates, figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead, my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not knowwhat to do. While my grandmother sat crying, my grandfather, who had been driving in silence, pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble? My grandfather was a highly intelligent, quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me, and maybe this was to be the first time? Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me, and after a bit of silence, he gently and calmly said, "Jeff, one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy -- they're given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful, and if you do, it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices.如果一不小心，你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。

人生必修：抵抗天赋的诱惑JeffBezos普林斯顿毕业典礼演讲稿摘录
人生必修：抵抗天赋的诱惑JeffBezos普林斯顿毕业典礼演讲稿摘录生物进化完美地赋予了每一个生命一种独特的天赋。
这些天赋不仅象征着个体的身份认同，也是赋予人们成就非凡的力量源泉。
然而，我们时常被这些天赋的诱惑所迷惑，它们使得我们对自身的掌控失去了方向。
Jeff Bezos是亚马逊的创始人、董事长兼CEO，也是世界上最富有的人之一。
在他毕业于普林斯顿大学时的演讲中，他分享了自己的人生经验，表达了他对于掌握自身命运的信念。
Bezos从小就表现出了对事物的好奇心和探寻的热情。
他对于一些可能性的探索，以及自我决定的追求，都使得他在前进的路上找到了自己的方向。
但是，在赚钱、成功和成名的道路上，我们会常常迷失方向。
许多人会降低标准，放弃自己的天赋去追求那些短暂的成就。
在他的演讲中，Bezos告诉大家如何增强对自身天赋的理解、把自已的个性与职业相适应。
他鼓励每个人更多的关注自己内心的声音并倾听之，每个人的天赋是独特的只有重视自己的个性特点才能释放自身的潜力。
随着技术的进步和人的才情不断显露，不管身处何处的人，都会受到诱惑，即丧失自身天赋来追求金钱、权力、名望和短暂的过渡性成就。
Bezos在演讲中也表达了他对于这一诱惑的看法，他认为每个人都应该积极地创造机会、摒弃一切阻碍前进的声音。
自信和毅力不仅仅是达到个人成就的关键，它们也可以激发他人的潜力并推动社会的不断进步。
如今，我们的社会更加竞争激烈，人们必须比以往更努力和聪明才能在大众中脱颖而出。
在此情况下，我们必须坚守自己的信仰，抗拒可能导致我们改变自己天赋和声音的那些诱惑。
抵抗天赋的诱惑需要勇气和决心。
它需要我们不断地尝试，接受失败并持续前进。
只有这样，我们才能最终实现我们内心真正的挚望。
人生必修：抵抗天赋的诱惑，是我们不断追寻自我的过程。
它鼓励我们保持独立的思考和行动、不断挑战自我的能力、认真编制和执行自己的计划，并需要我们接受已经实现的成就，为未来奠定成功的基础。

普林斯顿大学演讲稿英文
Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed faculty, proud alumni, and most importantly, the vibrant members of the Princeton University community,It is an honor to stand before you today, amidst the hallowed grounds of this esteemed institution. As I look out at the faces of the future leaders, innovators, and scholars gathered here, I am filled with a profound sense of optimism and anticipation. Today, I want to talk about the future – not just the future of Princeton, but the future of all of us as members of this global community.The world we live in is rapidly evolving. Technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, reshaping industries, economies, and even the way we interact with one another. At Princeton, we have been at the forefront of this transformation, fostering an environment where intellectual curiosity and rigorous inquiry are celebrated. But the question remains: How do we prepare ourselves and our students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead?First and foremost, we must embrace change. Change is not something to be feared; it is something to be embraced. It is the catalyst for progress, the engine of innovation. As members of this university, we have been taught to think critically, to question the status quo, and to seek out new and better ways of doing things. These are the skills that will serve us well as we navigate the uncharted waters of the future.Consider the field of artificial intelligence. It is a field that has the potential to revolutionize our lives, but it also poses significant ethical and societal challenges. At Princeton, we have been at the forefront of AI research, exploring its potential benefits while also addressing its risks. This is the kind of proactive approach that we need to adopt in all areas of our lives.We must also be bold in our vision. Princeton has always been a place where big ideas are born and nurtured. From Woodrow Wilson's vision for the League of Nations to the Princeton Program in Cognitive Science,this university has a long history of thinking big and acting accordingly. Today, we must continue to push the boundaries of what ispossible, to dream of a world that is more just, more equitable, and more sustainable.To achieve this, we must foster a culture of collaboration and inclusivity. Diversity is not just a value at Princeton; it is our strength. Our community is made up of individuals from all walks of life, with varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. It is this diversity that allows us to challenge one another, to learn from one another, and to create solutions that are both innovative and impactful.In the spirit of collaboration, I want to highlight a few initiativesthat I believe have the potential to shape the future of our university and our world:1. The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment: This center is dedicated to addressing the most pressing challenges of our time, from climate change to energy security. By fostering interdisciplinary research and education, the Andlinger Center is helping to create a sustainable future for us all.2. The Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education: The Keller Center is dedicated to transforming engineering education to better prepare students for the future. By integrating technology, design thinking, and real-world problem-solving, the Keller Center is equipping our students with the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.3. The Princeton University Press: As one of the world's leading academic publishers, the Press plays a crucial role in disseminating knowledge and promoting scholarly discourse. By publishing groundbreaking research and fostering intellectual exchange, the Pressis helping to shape the future of human thought.But change and innovation do not come without challenges. We must be prepared to confront them head-on. One of the most significantchallenges we face is the growing divide between the haves and the have-nots. As the gap between rich and poor widens, it becomes increasingly difficult to achieve a just and equitable society. At Princeton, we havea responsibility to address this issue, both within our own community and beyond.We must also be mindful of the role that we play as global citizens. As the world becomes more interconnected, the actions of individuals and institutions have a greater impact on one another. It is up to us to use our knowledge, our resources, and our influence to make a positive difference. This means advocating for social justice, promoting peace and understanding, and working to solve the problems that affect us all.In conclusion, the future is a blank canvas, waiting to be painted with the colors of our dreams and aspirations. At Princeton, we have the opportunity to lead the way in shaping that future. We must embrace change, be bold in our vision, foster collaboration and inclusivity, and be prepared to confront the challenges that lie ahead.To the students of Princeton, I say this: You are the future. You have the power to change the world. Embrace your education, challenge yourself, and never lose sight of your values. Remember that knowledgeis not just an end in itself; it is a tool that can be used to make a difference.To the faculty and staff, I say this: You are the pillars of this institution. Your dedication and commitment to excellence are what make Princeton great. Continue to inspire and challenge our students, and push the boundaries of what is possible.And to the alumni, I say this: You are the heart and soul of Princeton. Your achievements and your contributions to society are a testament to the impact that this university has had on your lives. Stay connected, stay engaged, and continue to support Princeton as it moves forward.Together, we can create a future that is bright, that is just, and that is full of promise. Let us embark on this journey with courage, with conviction, and with the knowledge that the future is in our hands.Thank you.[Applause]。

贝佐斯2010年在普林斯顿的演讲稿中英文we are what we chooseas a kid, i spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in texas. i helped fix windmills, vaccinate cattle, and do other chores. we also watched soap operas everyafternoon, especially days of our lives. my grandparents belonged to a caravan club, a group of airstream trailer owners who travel together around the u.s. and canada. and every few summers, wed join the caravan. wed hitch up the airstream trailer to mygrandfathers car, and off wed go, in a line with 300 other airstream adventurers.i loved and worshipped my grandparents and i really looked forward to these trips. on one particular trip, i was about 10 years old. i was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. my grandfather was driving. and my grandmother had the passenger seat. she smoked throughout these trips, and i hated the smell.i have a vivid memory of what happened, and it was not what i expected. i expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. jeff, youre so smart. you had to have made some tricky estimates, figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division. thats not what happened. instead, my grandmother burst into tears. i sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. while my grandmother sat crying, my grandfather, who had been driving in silence, pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. he got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. was i in trouble? my grandfather was a highly intelligent, quiet man. he had never said a harsh word to me, and maybe this was to be the first time? or maybe he would ask that i get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother.i had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. we stopped beside the trailer. my grandfather looked at me, and after a bit of silence, he gently and calmly said, jeff, one day youll understand that its harder to be kind than clever.在我还是一个孩子的时候，我的夏天总是在德州祖父母的农场中度过。
我帮忙修理风车，为牛接种疫苗，也做其它家务。
每天下午，我们都会看肥皂剧，尤其是《我们的岁月》。
我的祖父母参加了一个房车俱乐部，那是一群驾驶airstream拖挂型房车的人们，他们结伴遍游美国和加拿大。
每隔几个夏天，我也会加入他们。
我们把房车挂在祖父的小汽车后面，然后加入300余名airstream探险者们组成的浩荡队伍。
我爱我的祖父母，我崇敬他们，也真心期盼这些旅程。
那是一次我大概十岁时的旅行，我照例坐在后座的长椅上，祖父开着车，祖母坐在他旁边，吸着烟。
我讨厌烟味。
在那样的年纪，我会找任何借口做些估测或者小算术。
我会计算油耗还有杂货花销等鸡毛蒜皮的小事。
我听过一个有关吸烟的广告。
我记不得细节了，但是广告大意是说，每吸一口香烟会减少几分钟的寿命，大概是两分钟。
无论如何，我决定为祖母做个算术。
我估测了祖母每天要吸几支香烟，每支香烟要吸几口等等，然后心满意足地得出了一个合理的数字。
接着，我捅了捅坐在前面的祖母的头，又拍了拍她的肩膀，然后骄傲地宣称，每天吸两分钟的烟，你就少活九年!我清晰地记得接下来发生了什么，而那是我意料之外的。
我本期待着小聪明和算术技巧能赢得掌声，但那并没有发生。
相反，我的祖母哭泣起来。
我的祖父之前一直在默默开车，把车停在了路边，走下车来，打开了我的车门，等着我跟他下车。
我惹麻烦了吗?我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。
他从来没有对我说过严厉的话，难道这会是第一次?还是他会让我回到车上跟祖母道歉?我以前从未遇到过这种状况，因而也无从知晓会有什么后果发生。
我们在房车旁停下来。
祖父注视着我，沉默片刻，然后轻轻地、平静地说：杰夫，有一天你会明白，善良比聪明更难。
what i want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices.cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. gifts are easy -- theyre given after all. choices can be hard. you can seduce yourself with your gifts if youre not careful, and if you do, itll probably be to the detriment of your choices.今天我想对你们说的是，天赋和选择不同。
聪明是一种天赋，而善良是一种选择。
天赋得来很容易毕竟它们与生俱来。
而选择则颇为不易。
如果一不小心，你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。
在座各位都拥有许多天赋。
我确信你们的天赋之一就是拥有精明能干的头脑。
之所以如此确信，是因为入学竞争十分激烈，如果你们不能表现出聪明智慧，便没有资格进入这所学校。
你们的聪明才智必定会派上用场，因为你们将在一片充满奇迹的土地上行进。
我们人类，尽管跬步前行，却终将令自己大吃一惊。
我们能够想方设法制造清洁能源，也能够一个原子一个原子地组装微型机械，使之穿过细胞壁，然后修复细胞。
这个月，有一个异常而不可避免的事情发生了人类终于合成了生命。
在未来几年，我们不仅会合成生命，还会按说明书驱动它们。
我相信你们甚至会看到我们理解人类的大脑，儒勒·凡尔纳，马克·吐温，伽利略，牛顿所有那些充满好奇之心的人都希望能够活到现在。
作为文明人，我们会拥有如此之多的天赋，就像是坐在我面前的你们，每一个生命个体都拥有许多独特的天赋。
how will you use these gifts?追随自己内心的热情listened carefully to me, and finally said, that sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job. that logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, i decided i had to give it a shot. i didnt think id regret trying and failing. and i suspected i would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. after much consideration, i took the less safe path to follow my passion, and im proud of that choice.16年前，我萌生了创办亚马逊的想法。
彼时我面对的现实是互联网使用量以每年2300%的速度增长，我从未看到或听说过任何增长如此快速的东西。
创建涵盖几百万种书籍的网上书店的想法令我兴奋异常，因为这个东西在物理世界里根本无法存在。
