needless to say; i took a lot of criticism; some of it deserved; some of it excessive; and; to be honest with you; it hurt like you would not believe。
but im telling you all this for a reason。
不用说,我遭受过大量的批评,有些是恰当的,有些是过份了点儿,可说真的,你很难相信我的确遭到了伤害。
ive had a lot of sucomess。
ive had a lot of failure。
ive looked good。
ive looked bad。
ive been praised。
and ive been criticized。
but my mistakes have been necessary。
但我对你们说这些出于一个原因,我经历过成功与失败,感受过光荣与耻辱,品尝过掌声和责骂,但我所走的弯路却是我人生的必经之道。
ive dwelled on my failures today because; as graduates of harvard; your biggest liability is your need to sucomeed; your need to always find yourself on the sweet side of the bell curve。
如今我已习惯于品尝失败,而你们,作为哈佛的研究生,最大的愿望就是获得成功,徜徉在幸福的河流之中。
sucomess is a lot like a bright white tuxedo。
成功很像洁白无暇的晚礼服,你越想得到它,你就越怕它染上污垢,遭到玷污。
you feel terrific when you get it; but then youre desperately afraid of getting it dirty; of spoiling it。
i left the cocoon of harvard; i left the cocoon of saturday night live; i left the cocoon of the simpsons。
之后,我离开了哈佛的襁褓,舍弃了〃生动周六之夜〃的温床,阔别了辛普森的摇篮。
and each time it was bruising and tumultuous。
而每一次的离别都是遍体鳞伤,引起一片哗然。
and yet every failure was freeing; and today im as nostalgic for the bad as i am for the good。
而每一次的失败都让我的心灵得到放松,如今我对挫折的怀念犹如我对成功的渴望一样。
so thats what i wish for all of you…the bad as well as the good。
fall down。
make a mess。
break something ocomasionally。
这就是我对你们的期望,倒下,将事情弄糟,偶尔〃停业〃整顿一下。
know that your mistakes are your own unique way of getting to where you need to be。
要知道失败乃成功之母。
and remember that the story is never over。并记住失败是永无休止的。
if youll indulge me for just a second; id like to read a little something from just this year。
如果你听了我的演讲就那么一会儿,那我来念一段:
〃somehow; conan obrien has transformed himself into the brightest star in the late_night firmament。
无论如何,欧本瑞已将他自己变成了夜空中最为灿烂的星星。
his comedy is the gold standard; and conan himself is not only the quickest and most inventive wit of his generation; but quite possibly the greatest host ever。〃 ladies and gentlemen; class of 2000; i wrote that this morning。
他的喜剧具有现代气息而光彩照人,而他本人不仅是那个时代的最机敏最具有创造『性』的人,而且也极有可能是迄今为止最伟大的主宰自己的人。
as proof that when all else fails; you always have delusion。
i will go now to make bigger mistakes and to embarrass this fine institution even more。
我将去犯更大的错误,使一些所谓的常规陷于崩溃的边缘。
but let me leave you with one last thought。
但请让我留给你们一个最后的问题。
if you can laugh at yourself; loud and hard; every time you fall; people will think youre drunk。
如果你大声而痛苦地嘲笑你自己,而每一次你都跌到在地,人们就会认为你一定喝醉酒了。
thank you。谢谢。
from youve got laughs!
上帝与你同乐。
