名校勵志英語演講 第88期:如何實現(xiàn)你的夢想

[00:00.29]So, thirty-one years ago today, I drove from Madison, Wisconsin, to Los Angeles, California. 31年前的今天，我駕車從威斯康辛大學麥迪遜分校駛往加利福利亞州的洛杉磯。 [00:07.45]On the way, I passed Camp Randall, where my college graduation ceremony was in progress. 途徑蘭德爾體育場，當時我們學院的畢業(yè)典禮正在那兒舉行。 [00:14.59]I thought about going to the ceremony, but it meant I would've arrived in Hollywood one day later, 我曾想過去參加畢業(yè)典禮，但那就意為著我會遲到一天到好萊塢。 [00:21.37]and at the time I just didn't see the point. I wanted to get there. 當時，我不知道什么是重點，我只是想到好萊塢去。 [00:27.24]Gertrude Stein once said about Hollywood, "When you get there, there is no 'there' there." That's true. 格特魯格·斯坦因曾經這樣形容好萊塢，“當你到了那兒的時候，在那里沒有‘那里’。”她形容非常確切。 [00:36.04]However, there will be a swimming pool and tennis court. 但是，那里將會有游泳池和網球場。 [00:40.19]In the end, though, it's probably not enough to justify a life's journey. 盡管這最后或許不足以證明生命的旅程是否正當。 [00:46.53]Getting there, particularly in show business, is tough enough. 在那里，特別是在娛樂行業(yè)闖蕩是非常艱難的。 [00:52.13]You need a combination of talent, ambition, luck and a willingness to tell actors how beautiful they look today. 你要有才華、野心以及運氣，并且還要能心甘情愿地告訴演員們他們今天看上去是多么美麗。 [01:00.03]In retrospect, getting there was the easy part. Finding a "there" there is much harder. 回想過去，到達那里相對比較簡單，而在這里尋找立足之地就比較困難了。 [01:09.06]So today, before you get into your cars and race off to the rest of your lives, I want to give you some advice on how to get there. 因此，今天在你們坐在車里準備駛往未來時，我想給你們提幾點建議，告訴你們如何實現(xiàn)自己的夢想。 [01:18.39]And I want to help make sure that when you get there, you find a "there" there. 我想確保你們到達那里的時候，可以找到自己的目標，實現(xiàn)自己的夢想。 [01:24.37]To that end, I will give you my five rules to think about, quickly forget, but years from now kick yourself for not having listened to. 為此，我想告訴你們我的5條規(guī)則，供你們思考，以便能盡快實現(xiàn)夢想。數年之后，你們懊悔沒有認真聽我講，那就只能怪你們自己了。
