艾倫杜蘭大學(xué)畢業(yè)演講

第一篇：艾倫杜蘭大學(xué)畢業(yè)演講

Then my career turned intothis 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.后來(lái)我又有了自己的情景喜劇，也很成功，更進(jìn)一步的成功，我于是更擔(dān)心被別人擔(dān)心是同性戀后怎么辦，而且當(dāng)時(shí)是很久很久以前，那是只有白人當(dāng)總統(tǒng)的年代，好久好久以前。最終我還是決定，與其一直帶著恥辱和恐懼生活，不如對(duì)這種生活就此做個(gè)了結(jié)，于是我決定用創(chuàng)意的方式，讓劇中的主角和我自己同時(shí)出柜，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.不是為了什么政治原因和其它，只是為了讓我自己從背負(fù)已久的學(xué)生枷鎖中釋放出來(lái)，我只是想做真我，我想，“最壞的結(jié)果是什么？我可能會(huì)失去我的演藝事業(yè)”。結(jié)果我失業(yè)了。我失去了我的事業(yè)，我的節(jié)目在做了6年后停播了，竟然沒(méi)有人通知我，我在報(bào)紙上才看到這一消息，家里的電話三年都沒(méi)有響起過(guò)，沒(méi)人找我做節(jié)目。

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.沒(méi)有人愿意啟用我。然后我卻一直收到想要自殺的同性戀孩子給我的來(lái)信，他們因?yàn)槲业某霈F(xiàn)而沒(méi)有自殺，我這才感到，我在這個(gè)世上是有意義的，不是因?yàn)槲?，也不是因?yàn)槊暎矣X(jué)得自己好像是受了懲罰一樣，那是一段痛苦的日子，我很憤世嫉俗，很難過(guò)。后來(lái)有人找我做脫口秀，找我做節(jié)目的制作公司努力推銷(xiāo)我的節(jié)目，然而大多數(shù)電視臺(tái)都不愿意買(mǎi)，他們都不愿意買(mǎi)，因?yàn)樗麄円詾闆](méi)有人會(huì)想看我的節(jié)目。

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.每當(dāng)我回想起這段往事時(shí)，我覺(jué)得一切都應(yīng)該這樣，真的，對(duì)我而言，失去一切太重要了，因?yàn)槲野l(fā)現(xiàn)最重要的是要做真我。最終，是我的選擇才有了今天的我。生活中沒(méi)有恐懼和秘密，而且我知道自己是沒(méi)問(wèn)題的，因?yàn)闊o(wú)論怎樣，我都清楚知道自己是誰(shuí)。

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”.所以總的來(lái)說(shuō)，我對(duì)成功的看法不同，我想等我長(zhǎng)大以后，我要出名。我要當(dāng)明星，我要拍電影，長(zhǎng)大后要環(huán)游世界，開(kāi)名車(chē)，有一群影迷跟著，就象“小野貓”里說(shuō)的那樣。順便問(wèn)一句，有多少人聽(tīng)成是“咪咪”？聽(tīng)錯(cuò)了，應(yīng)該是影迷。

But my idea of success is different today.And as you grow, you'll realize 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.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.但今天我對(duì)成功的看法不一樣了。當(dāng)你長(zhǎng)大，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)成功的定義在改變。對(duì)你們中的很多人來(lái)說(shuō)，今天的成功是能灌下20杯龍舌蘭酒。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，生命中最重要的事是：是真實(shí)地去生活！不要因?yàn)閯e人的壓力去逼自己做不是真正的自己，做一個(gè)真實(shí)的，有愛(ài)心的人，在某些方面有所貢獻(xiàn)的人。所以總結(jié)一下我的總結(jié)，追隨自己的熱情，絕對(duì)不要追隨別人的腳步，除非你在森林里迷路時(shí)看到了路，那你一定要跟上。別給別人忠告，吃力不討好；也別只是聽(tīng)從別人的忠告。所以我忠告大家：做真實(shí)的自己，一切會(huì)好的。

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?”.我知道在座的很多人都在擔(dān)心自己的前途，其實(shí)不用擔(dān)心，經(jīng)濟(jì)正“發(fā)展迅速”，就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)“一大把”，地球也“好得很”，一切都會(huì)很棒，你們都經(jīng)歷過(guò)颶風(fēng)了，還有什么可怕的？就象我以前說(shuō)的那樣，最慘痛的經(jīng)歷教育意義也最大。比如現(xiàn)在你第一次面試，就知道該問(wèn)考官什么問(wèn)題了，例如“咱公司的位置高于海平面嗎？”

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 2009, 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.因此??總結(jié)一下我剛才總結(jié)過(guò)的總結(jié)，配合這個(gè)“常見(jiàn)的水泥”演講，我想我要說(shuō)的是，人生猶如一場(chǎng)狂歡派對(duì)，不過(guò)要向人們展示你的頭腦，而不是你的胸部，如果人們欣賞你，你就不必?fù)?dān)心沒(méi)活干了，然后你就可以安枕無(wú)憂。2009年的畢業(yè)生們，恭喜大家，那怕我今天說(shuō)的你全都會(huì)忘記，請(qǐng)記住這句：你沒(méi)問(wèn)題的，噠噠噠，讓我們跳舞吧。

第二篇：美國(guó)著名脫口秀主持人艾倫杜蘭大學(xué)畢業(yè)演講

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 2009, I realize most of you are hangover 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 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 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.Sidewalks have cracks, and if you step on a crack, you break your mother?s back.So there?s that.But I?m honored that you?ve asked me here to speak at your common cement.I thought that you had to be a famous alumnus –alumint –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 Cowen 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 works at(?)and I would go there every time I needed to steel something out of her purse.But why am I here today? Clearly not to steel, 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 I 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 vacuum 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 know 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 kept going, 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 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 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 realized that I had a purpose.And it wasn?t just about me and it wasn?t about celebrity, but I felt I was being punished…it was a bad time, I was angry, I was sad, and then I was offered a talk show.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 secret, 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.As you grow, you?ll realize the definition of success change.For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20shots 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.So to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself.Never follow anyone?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?

第三篇：傳奇編劇艾倫2012雪城大學(xué)畢業(yè)演講雙語(yǔ)文本

傳奇編劇艾倫?索爾金2012雪城大學(xué)畢業(yè)演講雙語(yǔ)文本

Madam Chancellor, members of the Board of Trustees, members of the faculty and administration, parents and friends, honored guests and graduates, thank you for inviting me to speak today at this magnificent Commencement ceremony.校長(zhǎng)、校董會(huì)委員、所有教職員、各位家長(zhǎng)和朋友、各位來(lái)賓和畢業(yè)生，感謝你們今天邀請(qǐng)我在這個(gè)盛大的畢業(yè)典禮上演講。

There's a story about a man and a woman who have been married for 40 years.One evening at dinner the woman turns to her husband and says, “You know, 40 years ago on our wedding day you told me that you loved me and you haven't said those words since.” They sit in silence for a long moment before the husband says “If I change my mind, I'll let you know.” 我先說(shuō)個(gè)關(guān)于一對(duì)結(jié)婚40年夫妻的故事。某天晚餐時(shí)，妻子轉(zhuǎn)頭對(duì)丈夫說(shuō)，“你知道嗎？40年前，我們結(jié)婚那天，你對(duì)我說(shuō)你愛(ài)我，之后就不曾再說(shuō)過(guò)這句話?！背聊嗽S久后，丈夫終于開(kāi)口，“如果我改變了主意，會(huì)讓你知道。”

Well, it's been a long time since I sat where you sit, and I can remember looking up at my teachers with great admiration, with fondness, with gratitude and with love.Some of the teachers who were there that day are here this day and I wanted to let them know that I haven't changed my mind.好了，我像你們這樣坐在臺(tái)下是很久以前的事了，我還記得自己滿懷敬佩、感激與喜愛(ài)之情看著臺(tái)上的老師，當(dāng)時(shí)有些老師今天也在場(chǎng)。我想讓他們知道，我對(duì)他們的感激之情不曾改變。

There's another story.Two newborn babies are lying side by side in the hospital and they glance at each other.Ninety years later, through a remarkable coincidence, the two are back in the same hospital lying side by side in the same hospital room.They look at each other and one of them says, “So what'd you think?” 再說(shuō)另一個(gè)故事。兩位新生兒并肩躺在醫(yī)院的育兒室里，彼此對(duì)看了一眼。90年后，在一個(gè)不可思議地巧合下，兩人并肩躺在同一家醫(yī)院的病房里。他們看著對(duì)方，其中一位說(shuō)，“好吧，你感覺(jué)如何？”

It's going to be a very long time before you have to answer that question, but time shifts gears right now and starts to gain speed.Just ask your parents whose heads, I promise you, are exploding right now.They think they took you home from the maternity ward last month.They think you learned how to walk last week.They don't understand how you could possibly be getting a degree in something today.They listened to “Cats in the Cradle” the whole car ride here.你們很久以后才需要回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題。但物換星移，時(shí)間飛快流逝，只要問(wèn)你們的父母就知道。我向你們保證，現(xiàn)在他們的思緒必定亂成一團(tuán)。在他們記憶里，彷佛上個(gè)月才將你從產(chǎn)房帶回家，彷佛你上星期才學(xué)會(huì)走路，他們不明白你們?cè)趺纯赡芙裉炀腿〉媚硞€(gè)學(xué)位。他們一路聽(tīng)著“搖籃里的貓”前來(lái)這里。

I'd like to say to the parents that I realized something while I was writing this speech: the last teacher your kids will have in college will be me.And that thought scared the hell out of me.Frankly, you should feel exactly the same way.But I am the father of an 11-year-old daughter, so I do know how proud you are today, how proud your daughters and your sons make you every day, and that they did just learn how to walk last week, that you'll never not be there for them, that you love them more than they'll ever know and that it doesn’t matter how many degrees get put in their hand, they will always be dumber than you are.我想告訴各位家長(zhǎng)，我在寫(xiě)這篇演講稿時(shí)領(lǐng)悟到的一件事：你們孩子大學(xué)里最后一位老師將會(huì)是我。這個(gè)念頭令我膽顫心驚。老實(shí)說(shuō)，你們也應(yīng)該有相同感覺(jué)。但我是一位11歲女兒的父親，所以我確實(shí)了解你們今天是多么驕傲；你們的兒女時(shí)時(shí)刻刻讓你們感到多么自豪；他們確實(shí)上星期才學(xué)會(huì)走路；你永遠(yuǎn)不需要為了參加他們的畢業(yè)典禮而來(lái)到這里；他們永遠(yuǎn)不知道你有多么愛(ài)他；無(wú)論他們拿到多少個(gè)學(xué)位，他們永遠(yuǎn)比你笨。

And make no mistake about it, you are dumb.You're a group of incredibly well-educated dumb people.I was there.We all were there.You're barely functional.There are some screw-ups headed your way.I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups, but the screw-ups, they're a-coming for ya.It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.這是無(wú)庸置疑地，你們確實(shí)是傻子。你們是一群受過(guò)良好教育的傻子。我經(jīng)歷過(guò)這個(gè)階段，我們?nèi)冀?jīng)歷過(guò)這個(gè)階段。你們幾乎做不成什么大事。總會(huì)有一些愚蠢的想法牽引著你的決定，我希望我能告訴你們避開(kāi)這些愚蠢想法的訣竅，但你依然逃不開(kāi)這些愚蠢的想法，這就是導(dǎo)致生命變得無(wú)法預(yù)知、讓你顯得超級(jí)愚蠢的罪魁禍?zhǔn)住?/p>

Today is May 13th and today you graduate.Growing up, I looked at my future as a timeline of graduations in which every few years, I'd be given more freedom and reward as I passed each milestone of childhood.When I get my driver's license, my life will be like this;when I'm a senior, my life will be like that;when I go off to college, my life will be like this;when I move out of the dorms, my life will be like that;and then finally, graduation.And on graduation day, I had only one goal left, and that was to be part of professional theater.We have this in common, you and I—we want to be able to earn a living doing what we love.Whether you're a writer, mathematician, engineer, architect, butcher, baker or candlestick maker, you want an invitation to the show.今天是5月13日，你們畢業(yè)的日子。成長(zhǎng)過(guò)程中，每隔幾年，畢業(yè)就成了標(biāo)記我未來(lái)人生進(jìn)程的時(shí)間軸。每當(dāng)我走過(guò)一個(gè)童年的里程碑，就得到更多的自由和獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。當(dāng)我拿到駕照時(shí)，生活會(huì)像這樣；當(dāng)我升上高中時(shí)，生活會(huì)像那樣；當(dāng)我念大學(xué)時(shí)，生活會(huì)像這樣；當(dāng)我搬出宿舍時(shí)，生活會(huì)像那樣；然后我終于畢業(yè)。畢業(yè)那天，我只剩下一個(gè)目標(biāo)，就是成為專(zhuān)業(yè)劇團(tuán)的一員。這是你們和我的共同點(diǎn)，我們都希望從事自己感興趣的工作，無(wú)論是作家、數(shù)學(xué)家、工程師、建筑師、屠夫、面包師傅或燭臺(tái)制造商，你們都希望登上屬于自己的舞臺(tái)。

Today is May 13th, and today you graduate, and today you already know what I know: to get where you're going, you have to be good, and to be good where you're going, you have to be damned good.Every once in a while, you'll succeed.Most of the time you'll fail, and most of the time the circumstances will be well beyond your control.今天是5月13日，你們畢業(yè)的日子，我明白的道理你們也都明白。想達(dá)成目標(biāo)，你必須有好的表現(xiàn)；希望能有所成就，你必須拿出超乎尋常的好表現(xiàn)。偶爾你能僥幸成功，大多時(shí)候則難免經(jīng)歷失敗；大多時(shí)候，情況并非你所能掌控。

When we were casting my first movie, “A Few Good Men,” we saw an actor just 10 months removed from the theater training program at UCLA.We liked him very much and we cast him in a small, but featured role as an endearingly dimwitted Marine corporal.The actor had been working as a Domino's Pizza delivery boy for 10 months, so the news that he'd just landed his first professional job and that it was in a new movie that Rob Reiner was directing, starring Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson, was met with happiness.But as is often the case in show business, success begets success before you've even done anything, and a week later the actor's agent called.The actor had been offered the lead role in a new, as-yet-untitled Milos Forman film.He was beside himself.He felt loyalty to the first offer, but Forman after all was offering him the lead.We said we understood, no problem, good luck, we'll go with our second choice.Which, we did.And two weeks later, the Milos Forman film was scrapped.Our second choice, who was also making his professional debut, was an actor named Noah Wyle.Noah would go on to become one of the stars of the television series “ER” and hasn't stopped working since.I don't know what the first actor is doing, and I can't remember his name.Sometimes, just when you think you have the ball safely in the end zone, you're back to delivering pizzas for Domino's.Welcome to the NFL.當(dāng)我第一部電影《軍官與魔鬼》開(kāi)拍時(shí)，劇組里有位十個(gè)月前才修完加州大學(xué)洛杉磯分校戲劇表演課程的演員。他很討人喜歡，我們讓他擔(dān)任一個(gè)不是很重要、但十分顯眼的角色－一位傻氣而討喜的海軍下士。這位演員在Domino披薩擔(dān)任了10個(gè)月的外送員，所以首次獲得參與一部新電影演出的機(jī)會(huì)令他十分興奮。這部電影由Rob Reiner導(dǎo)演，湯姆．克魯斯和杰克．尼克遜主演。但如同演藝圈經(jīng)常發(fā)生的情形：在你還來(lái)不及完成任何事之前，成功的機(jī)會(huì)便接踵而來(lái)。一星期后，這位演員的經(jīng)紀(jì)人致電給劇組：米洛斯·福爾曼一部尚未命名的電影邀請(qǐng)這位演員擔(dān)任主角。他欣喜若狂，雖然他認(rèn)為應(yīng)該對(duì)第一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)展現(xiàn)忠誠(chéng)，但畢竟福爾曼讓他擔(dān)任主角。我們回復(fù)說(shuō)，我們了解，沒(méi)問(wèn)題，祝你好運(yùn)，我們將采用第二順位的角色選擇，我們確實(shí)這么做了。兩星期后，米洛斯·福爾曼這部影片停拍，我們的第二選擇——也是一位職業(yè)生涯中首次獲得演出機(jī)會(huì)的演員，這位演員名叫Noah Wyle。Noah之后成為電視影集《急診室的春天》主角之一，至今仍在演藝圈大放異彩。我不知道第一位演員現(xiàn)況如何，甚至想不起他的名字。有時(shí)候，就在你以為自己安全達(dá)陣時(shí)，卻得回到Domino送披薩。歡迎來(lái)到野蠻世界。

In the summer of 1983, after I graduated, I moved to New York to begin my life as a struggling writer.I got a series of survival jobs that included bartending, ticket-taking, telemarketing, limo driving, and dressing up as a moose to pass out leaflets in a mall.I ran into a woman who'd been a senior here when I was a freshman.I asked her how it was going and how she felt Syracuse had prepared her for the early stages of her career.She said, “Well, the thing is, after three years you start to forget everything they taught you in college.But once you've done that, you'll be fine.” I laughed because I thought it was funny and also because I wanted to ask her out, but I also think she was wrong.1983年畢業(yè)后那個(gè)夏天，我搬到紐約，開(kāi)始艱苦的寫(xiě)作生涯。我做過(guò)許多賴(lài)以糊口的工作，包括酒保、收票員、電話推銷(xiāo)員、豪華轎車(chē)司機(jī)、穿著麋鹿裝在商場(chǎng)里發(fā)傳單。我曾遇見(jiàn)一位雪城大學(xué)的學(xué)姐，我問(wèn)她近況如何，她認(rèn)為雪城大學(xué)對(duì)她早期職業(yè)生涯提供了什么幫助。她說(shuō)，“嗯，事實(shí)上，畢業(yè)三年后，你就會(huì)開(kāi)始把學(xué)校所教的全都忘光；但一旦到了這個(gè)階段，你就會(huì)開(kāi)始漸入佳境。”我忍不住大笑，因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得這十分荒謬，也有部分原因是我想約她出去。但我還是認(rèn)為她的想法并不正確。

As a freshman drama student—and this story is now becoming famous—I had a play analysis class—it was part of my requirement.The professor was Gerardine Clark.If anybody was wondering, the drama students are sitting over there.The play analysis class met for 90 minutes twice a week.We read two plays a week and we took a 20-question true or false quiz at the beginning of the session that tested little more than whether or not we'd read the play.The problem was that the class was at 8:30 in the morning, it met all the way down on East Genesee, I lived all the way up at Brewster/Boland, and I don't know if you've noticed, but from time to time the city of Syracuse experiences inclement weather.All this going to class and reading and walking through snow, wind chill that's apparently powered by jet engines, was having a negative effect on my social life in general and my sleeping in particular.At one point, being quizzed on “Death of a Salesman,” a play I had not read, I gave an answer that indicated that I wasn't aware that at the end of the play the salesman dies.And I failed the class.I had to repeat it my sophomore year;it was depressing, frustrating and deeply embarrassing.And it was without a doubt the single most significant event that occurred in my evolution as a writer.I showed up my sophomore year and I went to class, and I paid attention, and we read plays and I paid attention, and we discussed structure and tempo and intention and obstacle, possible improbabilities, improbable impossibilities, and I paid attention, and by God when I got my grades at the end of the year, I'd turned that F into a D.I'm joking: it was pass/fail.當(dāng)我身為戲劇系大一新生時(shí)－這個(gè)故事已越來(lái)越出名－我修了一堂戲劇分析課－這是必修課程之一，指導(dǎo)教授是 Gerardine Clark。如果有人想知道這些歡呼是怎么回事，戲劇系學(xué)生坐在那里。戲劇分析課每周上兩次，每次九十分鐘，每星期得研讀兩部劇本，每堂課開(kāi)始時(shí)，會(huì)舉行一場(chǎng)二十題是非題的小考，測(cè)驗(yàn)我們是否預(yù)習(xí)了劇本。問(wèn)題是，這是早上八點(diǎn)三十分的課，上課地點(diǎn)在East Genesee街尾，我住在Brewster/Boland街頭。不知道你們是否注意到，雪城市的氣候經(jīng)常十分惡劣，我總是得在風(fēng)雪交加中前往學(xué)校上課，刺骨的寒風(fēng)簡(jiǎn)直像從噴射機(jī)引擎中噴出似的，這對(duì)我的社交生活產(chǎn)生不少負(fù)面影響，尤其是睡眠質(zhì)量。某次小考的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于《推銷(xiāo)員之死》，我并未事先預(yù)習(xí)這出戲劇，我寫(xiě)出的答案顯示，我不知道劇終時(shí)那位推銷(xiāo)員是不是死了。這門(mén)課沒(méi)有及格。我不得不在大二時(shí)重修，這令我十分沮喪、深感羞愧。毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)地，這是我邁向作家之路過(guò)程中最刻骨銘心的事。大二時(shí)，我孜孜不倦地參與這門(mén)課程，用心研讀劇本，討論每一部劇本的架構(gòu)、節(jié)奏、寓意及轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)，反復(fù)地思考探索。我投注了全副心力，確實(shí)，當(dāng)我在期末收到成績(jī)單時(shí)，成績(jī)從F進(jìn)步到D。開(kāi)個(gè)玩笑；這堂課只有過(guò)與不過(guò)的分別。But I stood at the back of the Eisenhower Theater at the Kennedy Center in Washington watching a pre-Broadway tryout of my plays, knowing that when the curtain came down, I could go back to my hotel room and fix the problem in the second act with the tools that Gerry Clark gave me.Eight years ago, I was introduced to Arthur Miller at a Dramatists Guild function and we spent a good part of the evening talking.A few weeks later when he came down with the flu he called and asked if I could fill in for him as a guest lecturer at NYU.The subject was “Death of a Salesman.” You made a good decision coming to school here.但當(dāng)我站在華盛頓肯尼迪表演藝術(shù)中心的Eisenhower劇場(chǎng)，觀看我的劇作在進(jìn)駐百老匯之前舉行的試演時(shí)，心里想著，落幕之后，我就能回酒店房間，使用從Gerry Clark（其著作曾改編成著名戲?。┳髌穼W(xué)到的技巧，修改第二幕的瑕疵。八年前，阿瑟．米勒（美國(guó)傳奇劇作家）將我引介給美京劇作家協(xié)會(huì)，當(dāng)晚我們相談甚歡。幾星期后，他罹患流行感冒，打電話問(wèn)我是否能代替他出席紐約大學(xué)的客座演講，演講主題正是《推銷(xiāo)員之死》。來(lái)雪城大學(xué)念書(shū)確實(shí)是明智的選擇。

I've made some bad decisions.I lost a decade of my life to cocaine addiction.You know how I got addicted to cocaine? I tried it.The problem with drugs is that they work, right up until the moment that they decimate your life.Try cocaine, and you'll become addicted to it.Become addicted to cocaine, and you will either be dead, or you will wish you were dead, but it will only be one or the other.My big fear was that I wasn't going to be able to write without it.There was no way I was going to be able to write without it.Last year I celebrated my 11-year anniversary of not using coke.Thank you.In that 11 years, I've written three television series, three movies, a Broadway play, won the Academy Award and taught my daughter all the lyrics to “Pirates of Penzance.” I have good friends.我曾誤入歧途。因?yàn)楣趴聣A成癮，浪費(fèi)了生命中寶貴的十年。你們知道我怎么會(huì)染上古柯堿毒癮嗎？我只是試了一口。毒品最大的問(wèn)題在于它們確實(shí)有用，直到摧毀你人生那一刻。只要試一口，你就萬(wàn)劫不復(fù)。一旦染上毒癮，你不是吸毒而死，就是生不如死，但總是逃不出這兩種悲慘的命運(yùn)。我最大的恐懼是，沒(méi)有它我會(huì)失去寫(xiě)作靈感，沒(méi)有它我根本無(wú)法寫(xiě)作。上個(gè)月我慶祝了戒毒11周年。謝謝。這11年來(lái)，我寫(xiě)了三部電視系列影集、三部電影、一出百老匯戲劇、榮獲奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)，并教會(huì)我女兒整出《彭贊斯的海盜》（音樂(lè)?。┑母柙~。我有許多好朋友。

You'll meet a lot of people who, to put it simply, don't know what they're talking about.In 1970 a CBS executive famously said that there were four things that we would never, ever see on television: a divorced person, a Jewish person, a person living in New York City and a man with a moustache.By 1980, every show on television was about a divorced Jew who lives in New York City and goes on a blind date with Tom Selleck.你會(huì)遇見(jiàn)許多人，簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)，總是滿口胡言。1970年代，CBS將一句名言奉為圭臬：有四種角色絕不可能出現(xiàn) 在電視屏幕上－離婚的人、猶太人、紐約居民和蓄胡男子。到了1980年代，每部電視節(jié)目的內(nèi)容都是描寫(xiě)住在紐約市的離婚猶太人，并和湯姆·謝立克（知名演員，蓄胡）進(jìn)行盲目約會(huì)。

Develop your own compass, and trust it.Take risks, dare to fail, remember the first person through the wall always gets hurt.My junior and senior years at Syracuse, I shared a five-bedroom apartment at the top of East Adams with four roommates, one of whom was a fellow theater major named Chris.Chris was a sweet guy with a sly sense of humor and a sunny stage presence.He was born out of his time, and would have felt most at home playing Mickey Rooney's sidekick in “Babes on Broadway.” I had subscriptions back then to Time and Newsweek.Chris used to enjoy making fun of what he felt was an odd interest in world events that had nothing to do with the arts.I lost touch with Chris after we graduated and so I'm not quite certain when he died.But I remember about a year and a half after the last time I saw him, I read an article in Newsweek about a virus that was burning its way across the country.The Centers for Disease Control was calling it “Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome” or AIDS for short.And they were asking the White House for $35 million for research, care and cure.The White House felt that $35 million was way too much money to spend on a disease that was only affecting homosexuals, and they passed.Which I'm sure they wouldn't have done if they'd known that $35 million was a steal compared to the $2 billion it would cost only 10 years later.Am I saying that Chris would be alive today if only he'd read Newsweek? Of course not.But it seems to me that more and more we've come to expect less and less of each other, and that's got to change.Your friends, your family, this school expect more of you than vocational success.掌握自己的指南針，并相信它；勇于冒險(xiǎn)、不怕失敗；記住，第一位沖破高墻的人總不免受傷。我大三和大四時(shí)，在 East Adams街盡頭和四位室友分租一棟五間臥室的公寓，其中一位名叫Chris的室友主修戲劇。Chris是個(gè)可愛(ài)的家伙，有著狡黠幽默感，總是在舞臺(tái)上扮演陽(yáng)光男孩角色。他生不逢時(shí)，最擅長(zhǎng)扮演《百老匯的小鬼》中Mickey Rooney伙伴那種角色。當(dāng)時(shí)我訂閱了《時(shí)代雜志》和《新聞周刊》；Chris感興趣的是一些千奇百怪、跟藝術(shù)無(wú)關(guān)的事物。畢業(yè)后，我與Chris失去聯(lián)絡(luò)，所以不確定Chris是何時(shí)過(guò)世的。但我記得，大約在最后一次見(jiàn)到他一年半之后，我在《新聞周刊》上讀到一篇文章，關(guān)于某種病毒正在全國(guó)蔓延的報(bào)導(dǎo)，疾病控制與預(yù)防中心稱(chēng)它為“獲得性免疫缺陷綜合癥”，簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)艾滋病。他們向白宮申請(qǐng)3500萬(wàn)美元的研究、照護(hù)和治療經(jīng)費(fèi)，白宮認(rèn)為，將3500萬(wàn)美元花在某種只會(huì)感染同性戀的疾病上太過(guò)昂貴，拒絕了這項(xiàng)申請(qǐng)。我敢肯定，如果他們知道，比起10年后花在治療上的20億美元，3500萬(wàn)美元不過(guò)是九牛一毛，當(dāng)初就不會(huì)拒絕。我的意思是，只要Chris閱讀《新聞周刊》，今天就能好好活著嗎？當(dāng)然不是。但在我看來(lái)，當(dāng)我們期待越多，了解的就越少，這是必須改變的現(xiàn)象。你的朋友、你的家人、這所學(xué)校對(duì)你的期待，不僅是職場(chǎng)上的成就。

Today is May 13th and today you graduate and the rules are about to change, and one of them is this: Decisions are made by those who show up.Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world.Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day.Civility, respect, kindness, character.You're too good for schadenfreude, you're too good for gossip and snark, you're too good for intolerance—and since you're walking into the middle of a presidential election, it's worth mentioning that you're too good to think people who disagree with you are your enemy.Unless they went to Georgetown, in which case, they can go to hell.今天是5月13日，你們畢業(yè)的日子，代表你必須做出某些改變，其中一個(gè)原則如下：挺身而出者才有機(jī)會(huì)做出改變，別忘了你是這個(gè)世界的公民。別忘了你是這個(gè)世界的公民，你可以做些提升人類(lèi)心靈層面的事，這些事并不困難，不過(guò)是舉手之勞，隨時(shí)隨地都能進(jìn)行。文明、尊重、善良、品格；你們不會(huì)幸災(zāi)樂(lè)禍；你們不會(huì)散播謠言、危言聳聽(tīng)；你們不會(huì)心胸狹窄、缺乏寬容。既然你們都可能邁向競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)之途，這句話值得一提：你們不會(huì)視反對(duì)者為敵人，除非是來(lái)自喬治敦大學(xué)的人（雪城大學(xué)的死對(duì)頭）。若碰上這種情況，就叫他們下地獄吧！

Don't ever forget that a small group of thoughtful people can change the world.It's the only thing that ever has.Rehearsal's over.You're going out there now, you're going to do this thing.How you live matters.You're going to fall down, but the world doesn't care how many times you fall down, as long as it's one fewer than the number of times you get back up.別忘了，一群深思熟慮的人可以改變世界，這是唯一的真理。人生的排練已經(jīng)結(jié)束，你們即將走出校門(mén)，開(kāi)創(chuàng)真實(shí)人生，重要的是，你如何經(jīng)營(yíng)自己的人生。失敗在所難免，但這個(gè)世界并不在乎你曾經(jīng)失敗過(guò)多少次，只要你能一次又一次地重新站起來(lái)。

For the class of 2012, I wish you joy.I wish you health and happiness and success, I wish you a roof, four walls, a floor and someone in your life that you care about more than you care about yourself.Someone who makes you start saying “we” where before you used to say “I” and “us” where you used to say “me.” I wish you the quality of friends I have and the quality of colleagues I work with.Baseball players say they don't have to look to see if they hit a home run, they can feel it.So I wish for you a moment—a moment soon—when you really put the bat on the ball, when you really get a hold of one and drive it into the upper deck, when you feel it.When you aim high and hit your target, when just for a moment all else disappears, and you soar with wings as eagles.The moment will end as quickly as it came, and so you'll have to have it back, and so you'll get it back no matter what the obstacles.A lofty prediction, to be sure, but I flat out guarantee it.2012年畢業(yè)生，祝福你們常懷喜悅，祝福你們健康、幸福、成功，祝福你們擁有幸福美滿的家庭，擁有某個(gè)你在乎他勝過(guò)自己的人，某個(gè)能與你共享生活中一切喜怒哀樂(lè)的人，希望你們擁有跟我朋友和同事一樣優(yōu)秀的伙伴。棒球選手說(shuō)，他們不需要緊盯著球，就能感覺(jué)自己擊出了全壘打。我期待有那么一天－在不久的將來(lái)－你們真正擊中那顆球。掌握這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，更上一層樓，真正擁有這份感受。當(dāng)你擁有崇高目標(biāo)，并盡力達(dá)成時(shí)，在一刻，一切艱辛都將煙消云散，你將如鷹般展翅翱翔。這個(gè)瞬間稍縱即逝，所以你必須繼續(xù)往目標(biāo)邁進(jìn)，你必須繼續(xù)往目標(biāo)邁進(jìn)，不論途中遭遇多少阻礙。這確實(shí)是個(gè)崇高的目標(biāo)，但只要付出努力，必定能夠達(dá)成。

第四篇：ellen杜蘭大學(xué)演講

Ellen DeGeneres毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)是美國(guó)現(xiàn)今一線的脫口秀主持人。以自己名字命名的節(jié)目Ellen Show收視率居高不下，她還成功主持過(guò)第38和39屆格萊美、第46屆艾美等頒獎(jiǎng)禮。她在杜蘭大學(xué)的演講延續(xù)了自己的幽默風(fēng)格，在笑聲中也回顧了自己的成長(zhǎng)，并給畢業(yè)學(xué)生們以誠(chéng)懇的建議，聽(tīng)來(lái)受益匪淺。以下為英文演講稿：

Thank you, President Cowan, Mrs.President Cowen;distinguished guests, undistinguished guestsaluminialumisI really, I had no ambition, I didn't know what I wanted to do.I did everything from“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 intothis 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 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 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 2009, 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.

第五篇：ellen杜蘭大學(xué)演講中英文

Thank you, President Cowan, Mrs.President Cowen;distinguished guests, undistinguished guests-you know who you are, honored faculty and creepy Spanish teacher.謝謝，謝謝考恩校長(zhǎng)，和各位有頭有臉的來(lái)賓們，呃，有頭有臉的來(lái)賓們，你們知道你們是誰(shuí)，就不用介紹了。誠(chéng)心感謝大家。。以及討厭的西班牙語(yǔ)老師。

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 'til I finish, so listen up.感謝所有2009屆的畢業(yè)生，我知道你們絕大多數(shù)人還因?yàn)樗拮眍^痛欲裂，狂歡到今天還沒(méi)睡，但是沒(méi)聽(tīng)完我的演講不能畢業(yè)，所以都聽(tīng)好了！

When I was asked to make the commencement speech, I immediately said yes.Then I went to look up what commencement meant.當(dāng)我被問(wèn)是否來(lái)參加畢業(yè)典禮演講的時(shí)候，我立刻就回答了：YES！然后我才去查commencement的意思。

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.如果我有字典的話就輕松多了，但我家的書(shū)大多是portia的，而且都是澳洲文。

So I had to break the word down myself, to find out the meaning.Commencement: common, and cement.Common cement.所以。。。我得自己摸索，去找出這個(gè)詞的意思。Commencement（畢業(yè)典禮）：commen（普通的）+cement（水泥）。常見(jiàn)的水泥。

You commonly see cement on sidewalks.Sidewalks have cracks, and if you step on a crack, you break your mother's back.So there's that.你常常見(jiàn)到水泥，在人行道上，人行道有裂縫，你要是踩到裂縫，就會(huì)撞傷你媽媽的背，大概意思就是這樣了。

But I'm honored that you've asked me here to speak at your common cement.但我很榮幸被邀請(qǐng)來(lái)做你們的“常見(jiàn)的水泥”的演講。
