公众人物毕业演讲第332期:推特CEO迪克2013密歇根大学(10)

 I think this was synthesized from tractor fuel three days ago So instead, what I implore¹ you to do

我猜 这是三天前用拖拉机燃料合成的 相反 我请你们去做的是

Is believe that if you make courageous² choices and bet on yourself

相信只要你们作出了勇敢的选择 赌自己能行

And put yourself out there that you will have an impact as a result of what you do

放开手大干一场 你们所做的必将具有重要影响

And you don't need to know now what that will be or how it will happen because nobody ever does

只是你们现在无需知道 那会是怎样的情景 因为没人做过

So I like to think of you guys in the metaphor³ of my early improve days as having been backstage preparing

所以说 我愿意把你们看成是早期即兴演出 站在后台做准备的那个我

And you are here now and look at everything you've accomplished⁴ It's remarkable⁵

你们现在都在这里 看着自己获得的成就 这很了不起

You are just also amazing to me and I'm so proud of everything you've done But as you get ready to walk out under the bright lights

你们很让我惊叹 我为你们所做的感到自豪 但你们现在要步入到聚光灯下

Of the improvisational⁶ stage of the rest of your life I implore you to remember those two lessons I learned years ago

踏上人生下一阶段的即兴演出舞台 我请你们记住我多年前的那两点经验教训

Be bold make courageous choices for yourself

要大胆 为自己作出勇敢的选择

Be in the Keebler Elf Factory, what are you afraid of? And secondly⁷, don't always worry about what your next line is supposed to be

就当是在奇宝饼干厂 有什么好怕的 第二 不要总想着下一句台词应该是什么

What you're supposed to do next, there's no script Live your life, be in this moment

不要想下一步应该怎么做 没有剧本 过好生活 只想此刻

Be in this moment, now be in this moment. Twenty years from now

只想此刻 现在 只想此刻 二十年后的今天

You will be sitting in a different seat in this stadium and you will be lying in a field looking up at the clouds

你们会坐到体育场的不同位置 你可能正躺在一块场地上 仰望云端

And you will be holding a patient's hand walking into surgery and you will be grading or evaluating a student's essay

你可能正握住病人的手 走入手术室 你可能在给学生的论文打分

And you will be sitting on the sidelines of your daughter's soccer practice and you will be standing behind this podium

你可能在旁观子女的橄榄球训练 你也可能站在这个讲台之后

Be right there and nowhere else in that moment soak it all in and remember to say thank you

那一刻 你只用想那一刻的光景 沉浸在那一番情景中 记得说声谢谢

Thank you, hashtag, go blue

谢谢大家 #GO BLUE(前进 蓝色 蓝色是密歇根大学象征色)
