公众人物毕业演讲第353期:奥普拉2013在哈佛大学(5)

 　　And I thought: "You want me to speak to Harvard graduates? What I... What can I possibly say to Harvard graduates, some of the most successful graduates in the world.

　　当时我想 "您让我来给哈佛毕业生们做演讲?我能对他们说些什么呢他们可是世界上最前途无量的一群人啊

　　In the very moment when I had stopped succeeding? So I got off the phone with President Faust, and I went to the shower.

　　而且恰逢我事业失利的时候？于是我挂断了福斯特校长的电话然后去洗了个澡

　　It was either that or a bag of Oreos. So I chose a shower. And I was in the shower along time.

　　要么淋浴 要么就去吃一袋奥利奥饼干于是我选择去冲个澡在我淋浴的时候

　　And as I was in the shower the words of an old hymn¹ came to me, you may not know it. It's "By and By... When the morning comes". And I started thinking about when the morning might come.

　　一首古老的赞美诗闪过脑海你们可能没听过这个 "耐心等待 曙光终将到来"我开始思考自己的曙光何时到来

　　Because when the time I thought I was stuck in a hole and the words came to me: "Trouble. Trouble don't last always" from that hymn.

　　因为当我感到身陷困境时想起了这些诗词"困难 困难终会过去" 这也是出自那首赞美诗

　　This too shall pass. And I thought, as I got out of that shower, I, I'm going to turn this thing around.

　　它也终会过去从浴室出来以后 我开始思索我要扭转这种局面

　　And I would be better for it. And when I do, I'm going to go to Harvard, I'm going to speak the truth of it.

　　我会变得更好一旦我做到了 我会去哈佛大学说出心里话

　　So I'm here today to tell you: I have turned that network around! And it was all because I wanted to do it.

　　所以 今天我要跟各位说我已让电视网重获新生!而来这里为你们做演讲

　　By the time I got to speak to you or so. Thank you so much! You don't know what motivation you are for me. Thank you!

　　就是我唯一的动力非常感谢你们!你们不知道这给了我多大的动力 谢谢了!
