⑴ 求三分鍾英語勵志演講稿。
We Are The World ,We Are The Future
Someone said 「we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite」. I don』t know who wrote these words, but I』ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
We are young. 「How to spend the youth?」 It is a meaningful question. To answer it, first I have to ask 「what do you understand by the word youth?」 Youth is not a time of life, it』s a state of mind. It』s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It』s the matter of the will. It』s the freshness of the deep spring of life.
A poet said 「To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I』d like to share it with all of you. Let』s show our right palms. We can see three
lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let』s make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don』t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, we』ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We』ve learnt that we can』t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn』t mean you don』t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn』t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the beginning, 「we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite」. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let』s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out 「We are the world, we are the future.」
譯文如下:
有人說「我們正在閱讀一本書第一章的第一節,它的頁數是無限的」。我不知道這些詞是誰寫的,但我一直喜歡這些詞,以提醒人們未來可以是我們想要的任何東西。我們都處於農民的地位。如果我們種下一顆好種子,我們會收獲一個好收成。如果我們什麼都不種,我們什麼都不收獲。
我們很年輕。「如何度過青春?「這是一個有意義的問題。要回答這個問題,首先我必須問「你對青年這個詞有什麼理解?「青春不是人生的時光,而是一種心態。這不是臉頰紅潤、嘴唇紅潤或膝蓋柔軟的問題。這是意志的問題。這是生命深處春天的新鮮。
一位詩人說:「在一粒沙子里看到一個世界,在一朵野花里看到一個天堂,把握在你手中的是無限,永恆在一個小時內。幾天前,我有機會聽了一次講座。我在那裡學到了很多。我想和大家分享一下。讓我們展示我們的右手掌。我們可以看到三個顯示我們的愛情、事業和生活的線條。我的壽命很短。
你的呢?我想知道我們是否可以這樣看待我們的未來。好吧,讓我們打一拳。我們的未來在哪裡?我們的愛情、事業和生活在哪裡?告訴我。是的,它在我們手中。這是我們自己的事情。
我們都希望未來比過去更美好。但是未來會更好。
不要因為結束而哭泣,微笑吧,因為已經發生了。從過去,我們了解到生活是艱難的,但是我們更艱難。我們已經了解到我們不能選擇自己的感受,但是我們可以選擇如何去感受。失敗並不意味著你沒有它,而是意味著你應該以不同的方式去做。失敗並不意味著你應該放棄,而是意味著你必須更加努力。
正如我在開頭所說,「我們正在閱讀一本書第一章的第一節,它的頁數是無限的」。過去已經過去了。我們所做的一切都不會改變它。但是未來就在我們面前。相信我們給世界的東西,世界會給我們的。從今天起,讓我們成為自己的主人,大聲說「我們是世界,我們是未來」。

⑵ 一篇3--5分鍾的勵志英文演講稿
有一個問題,我一直在思索:何為人生的意義?畢淑敏曾經說過,人生是沒有任何意義的。或許聽到這里的時候,你們會感到困惑,人生怎麼會沒有意義呢?而她的回答,令台下的學生記憶深刻:人生是沒有任何意義的,但你要為之確立一個意義。細想開來,這比那些言不由衷的人生意義,更有思考的價值。回到現實當中來,我們作為學生,是否也在確立自己生命的意義呢?或許你們會說,我們都是高考的殘兵敗將,來上學只不過是父命難為。那麼,我將替這些人感到悲哀。他們把自己的權利交給父母,而不是自己駕馭內心。這些人,外表看上去還很飽滿,但腦子卻是空空的,沒有思想,沒有追求,在我看來無異【www.ttshopping.net整理該文章,版權歸原作者、原出處所有。】於一具行屍走肉。我真的很難明白,為什麼游戲會令這些人通宵達旦,為什麼電視劇會令他們難於自拔?可能他們連目標、自製力都沒有吧。美國劇作家鮑西考爾特說:當人們在談論如何消磨時間的時候,時間正在消磨他們。這讓我想起了一個故事:溫水中的青蛙。最後的下場,想必大家清楚。我有時甚至想沖他們大罵:你們乾脆回家去好了,來上學,不僅浪費你父母的血汗錢,更浪費你寶貴的游戲時間。與其在課堂上呼呼大睡,不如回到家裡躺在棺材裡睡覺,這樣比較好。可是,我沒有,我無法對他們殘酷,只能在這短短的演講中,發出我這個學期可能的唯一的吶喊。李開復的第四封信——大學四年應該這樣度過的開篇寫到:大學是人生中最關鍵的階段。他認為,進入大學的人,都應該掌握七項學習:自修之道,基礎知識,實踐貫通,興趣培養,積極主動,掌握時間,為人處事。當然,我無法對你們要求太多,也沒有資格要求你們。我只能要求自己,每天早上不要睡得太晚,至少在廣播結束之前打開筆記本,看看郵件和博客,瀏覽一下新聞。你們就在床上安心地睡覺好了,不要早起來打擾我,讓我度過最安靜的精神獨處。我不想玩,也沒有再玩游戲了,或許我是全校唯一的一個游戲盲吧。雖然,我不會玩游戲遭人冷落,但是,我依然過的很高興,精神上的高興,而不是膚淺的在電腦前變傻。聽到這里,你們當中一定有人感到憤怒。是啊,夢想的存在,是對沒有夢想者的挑戰和冒犯。看過徐小平的文字,一個人生命最重要的價值,不在於他現在是否成功,而在於他是否有成功的夢想,是否有為夢想奮斗的機會、權利和自由。試回想一下那些勵志電影:風雨哈佛路、肖申克的救贖、阿甘正傳,還有功夫熊貓。阿寶的夢想,盡管看上去遙不可及,但依然是一個支持他不被平庸生活淹沒的精神支柱,一個不斷給阿寶生活信心和興趣的動力源泉。最後,他打敗了那隻豹子。我想,看完電影之後,大家的感想一定頗多,一定也會有笑過之後奮發向上的沖動。可是,後來呢,遺忘了,忘得一干二凈。所以,我有必要重提你們聽得都不想再聽的兩個字:堅持。世界上沒有什麼能與你堅持的力量相比,也沒有什麼力量使堅持變得徒勞,更沒有什麼可以詆毀或改變堅持的價值。或許你們不相信,但事實是,早起,我至少堅持到了現在。我想引用一下冰心的那首小詩:成功的花,人們只驚羨它現時的明艷,而當初的芽,卻浸透了奮斗的淚泉,灑滿了犧牲的血雨。百合花也明白,那是極深沉極歡喜所結的淚滴。我還想用俞敏洪的一段話:雖然我們現在什麼都不是,但是只要你有樹的種子,即使你被踩到泥土中間,你依然能夠吸收泥土的養分,自己成長起來。李陽不是堅持瘋狂成就瘋狂嗎?所以,我們每個人,都應該有夢想,有追求夢想的堅持。記住,心裡有夢讓你與眾不同,不要把夢拴在別人的眼光中。最後,我還想再提一點就是修養。某年的哈佛迎新辭這樣說:人可以沒有教育,但不可以沒有修養。有修養的人不一定有教育,有修養的人不一定都是大學畢業。所以,我希望你們,能優雅地生活著,至少不要影響別人,和諧地共處。如果這短短的演講,能對你們今後一個月或是三年的人生有所改變,那麼,我將感到非常欣慰。。謝謝提問者評價謝謝了。分給晚了,不好意思下... 評論 | 給力33不給力1

大學生勵志英語演講稿
As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice where the light comes into your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize; feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
Yes, yes, yes, it』s a new day, it』s a different day, and it』s a bright day! And most importantly, it』s a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented(空前的) level.
In your mind』s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire(勵志) to reach.
You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream. You can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. You can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being!
You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed!(效忠的) And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed!
You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions.
You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never succumb(屈服,屈從) to challenges of hardships.
You will never waver(動搖) in your pursuit of excellence. After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best!
As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part. You must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan; you must never quit and you must never fear. I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed! Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out:
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
⑸ 大學生有關電影的英文演講稿。急用!!!
Pearl Harbor This movie has a lot of places I touched Charming music factors,Actor has a natural performance, and even the scripts have some small thoughts. But should not overlook the atmosphere and beautiful photography, a lot of places are highly thought of photography, such as the Japanese army used the ship from high altitude over the lens, very simply beautiful, I think well of "Pearl Harbor" , the most important thing is it came from initially very low expectations. Were always going to be so, when you put all the desire to minimize, you can let you feel the joy of things. A commercial tablets should be used on secular perspective.
翻譯:珍珠港這部電影有很多地方我感動迷人的音樂因素,演員都有一個自然的表演,連一些小劇本的想法。但不應忽視的氣氛和美麗的攝影,許多地方都高度認為是攝影,如日軍,用鏡頭來自高空的船舶,很簡單漂亮,我覺得好「珍珠港」,最重要的是它來自最初的期望很低。人總是如此,當你把所有的願望減少,你可以讓你感受到的東西的喜悅。一個商業片就應該用世俗的觀點。
⑹ 英語勵志演講稿,帶翻譯,三分鍾左右,不要太長
Pain past is pleasure.過去的痛苦即快樂。All things are difficult before they are easy.凡事必先難後易。Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.心之所願,無事不成。Where there is life, there is hope.有生命必有希望。I feel strongly that I can make it.我堅信我一定能成功。Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.與其詛咒黑暗,不如燃起蠟燭。The shortest answer is doing.最簡短的回答就是行動。Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful indivials above the crowd: a little bit more.成功的秘訣就是四個簡單的字:多一點點。(凡事比別人多一點點!多一點努力,多一點自律,多一點實踐,多一點瘋狂。多一點點就能創造奇跡!)
DEFINITION OF CRAZINESS "Crazy" stands for the human spirit of transcending oneself. It stands for the single-minded pursuit of dreams. It stands for the total devotion to your work. It stands for the passion of commitment to reach the goal. Once you have this craziness, you can achieve anything you want. Let alone learning English!瘋狂的定義"瘋狂"代表著人類超越自我的精神,代表著對理想的執著追求,代表著對事業忘我的全情投入,代表著不達目的絕不罷休的激情。人一旦有了這種瘋狂,做任何事都可以成功,何況攻克英語!
ALWAYS HAVE A DREAM Forget about the days when it's been cloudy, But don't forget your hours in the sun. Forget about the times you've been defeated, But don't forget the victories you've won. Forget about the misfortunes you've encountered, But don't forget the times your luck has turned. Forget about the days when you've been lonely, But don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen. Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right, But don't forget to always have a dream.永不放棄夢想忘掉你的失意日子,但不要忘記黃金的時光。忘掉你的一次次失敗,但不要忘記你奪取的勝利。忘掉你遭遇的不幸,但不要忘記你的時來運轉。忘掉你的孤獨日子,但不要忘記你得到的友善的微笑。忘掉你沒有得以順利實施的計劃,但不要放棄你的夢想。

1、Keep Your Direction 堅持你的方向
What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.On your way to success, you must keep your direction.
It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
翻譯:如果失敗了你會怎麼做?很多人可能會選擇放棄。然而,要想成功,最可靠的方法就是堅持你的方向和目標。在通往成功的路上,你必須堅持你的方向。
它就像一盞燈,在黑暗中為你指路,幫助你度過難關。否則,你很容易就會迷失方向或猶豫不前。方向意味著目標。人生如果沒有目標,將一事無成。
你可以試著把你的目標寫在紙上,並制定實現目標的計劃。這樣,你就會懂得如何合理安排時間,如何正確地支配時間。而且你還要有這樣的信念:只要你一直堅持自己的方向,你就一定可以成功。

⑼ 美國勵志人物大學演講稿中英文對照版,有哪些
Madam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today's graates,
尊敬的Faust校長,哈佛集團的各位成員,監管理事會的各位理事,各位老師,各位家長,各位朋友,以及最重要的各位畢業生同學,
Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you.
感謝你們,讓我有機會同你們一起分享這個美妙的日子。
I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not a billionaire, but at least I am a nerd.
我不太肯定,自己夠得上哈佛大學畢業典禮演講人這樣的殊榮。去年登上這個講台的是,英國億萬身家的小說家J.K. Rowling女士,她最早是一個古典文學的學生。前年站在這里的是比爾•蓋茨先生,他是一個超級富翁、一個慈善家和電腦高手。今年很遺憾,你們的演講人是我,雖然我不是很有錢,但是至少我也算一個高手。
I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to me than you might care to imagine. You see, I was the academic black sheep of my family. My older brother has an M.D./Ph.D. from MIT and Harvard while my younger brother has a law degree from Harvard. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would be pleased. Not so. When I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, "That's nice, but when are you going to visit me next." Now, as the last brother with a degree from Harvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied.
我很感激哈佛大學給我榮譽學位,這對我很重要,也許比你們會想到的還要重要。要知道,在學術上,我是我們家的不肖之子。我的哥哥在麻省理工學院得到醫學博士,在哈佛大學得到哲學博士;我的弟弟在哈佛大學得到一個法律學位。我本人得到諾貝爾獎的時候,我想我的媽媽會高興。但是,我錯了。消息公布的那天早上,我給她打電話,她聽了只說:"這是好消息,不過我想知道,你下次什麼時候來看我?"如今在我們兄弟當中,我最終也拿到了哈佛學位,我想這一次,她會感到滿意。
Another difficulty with giving a Harvard commencement address is that some of you may disapprove of the fact that I have borrowed material from previous speeches. I ask that you forgive me for two reasons.
在哈佛大學畢業典禮上發表演講,還有一個難處,那就是你們中有些人可能有意見,不喜歡我重復前人演講中說過的話。我要求你們諒解我,因為兩個理由。
First, in order to have impact, it is important to deliver the same message more than once. In science, it is important to be the first person to make a discovery, but it is even more important to be the last person to make that discovery.
首先,為了產生影響力,很重要的方法就是重復傳遞同樣的信息。在科學中,第一個發現者是重要的,但是在得到公認前,最後一個將這個發現重復做出來的人也許更重要。
Second, authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who graated from Harvard at the age of 18, noted "All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients." Picasso declared "Good artists borrow. Great artists steal." Why should commencement speakers be held to a higher standard?
其次,一個借鑒他人的作者,正走在一條前人開辟的最佳道路上。哈佛大學畢業生、詩人愛默生曾經寫下:"古人把我最好的一些思想都偷走了。"畫家畢加索宣稱"優秀的藝術家借鑒,偉大的藝術家偷竊。"那麼為什麼畢業典禮的演說者,就不適用同樣的標准呢?
I also want to point out the irony of speaking to graates of an institution that would have rejected me, had I the chutzpah to apply. I am married to "Dean Jean," the former dean of admissions at Stanford. She assures me that she would have rejected me, if given the chance. When I showed her a draft of this speech, she objected strongly to my use of the word "rejected." She never rejected applicants; her letters stated that "we are unable to offer you admission." I have difficulty understanding the difference. After all, deans of admissions of highly selective schools are in reality, "deans of rejection." Clearly, I have a lot to learn about marketing.
我還要指出一點,向哈佛畢業生發表演說,對我來說是有諷刺意味的,因為如果當年我斗膽向哈佛大學遞交入學申請,一定會被拒絕。我的妻子Jean當過斯坦福大學的招生主任,她向我保證,如果當年我申請斯坦福大學,她會拒絕我。我把這篇演講的草稿給她過目,她強烈反對我使用"拒絕"這個詞,她從來不拒絕任何申請者。在拒絕信中,她總是寫:"我們無法提供你入學機會。"我分不清兩者到底有何差別。在我看來,那些大熱門學校的招生主任與其稱為"准許你入學的主任",還不如稱為"拒絕你入學的主任"。很顯然,我需要好好學學怎麼來推銷自己。
My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, "The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself." So, here comes the advice. First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts ecation and will be the key to your success. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your ecation ring those late night discussions, hug them. Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you. Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don't bargain for the last, little advantage. Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that "credit" is not a conserved quantity. In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.
畢業典禮演講都遵循古典奏鳴曲的結構,我的演講也不例外。剛才是第一樂章----輕快的閑談。接下來的第二樂章是送上門的忠告。這樣的忠告很少被重視,幾乎註定被忘記,永遠不會被實踐。但是,就像王爾德說的:"對於忠告,你所能做的,就是把它送給別人,因為它對你沒有任何用處。"所以,下面就是我的忠告。第一,取得成就的時候,不要忘記前人。要感謝你的父母和支持你的朋友,要感謝那些啟發過你的教授,尤其要感謝那些上不好課的教授,因為他們迫使你自學。從長遠看,自學能力是優秀的文理教育中必不可少的,將成為你成功的關鍵。你還要去擁抱你的同學,感謝他們同你進行過的許多次徹夜長談,這為你的教育帶來了無法衡量的價值。當然,你還要感謝哈佛大學。不過即使你忘了這一點,校友會也會來提醒你。第二,在你們未來的人生中,做一個慷慨大方的人。在任何談判中,都把最後一點點利益留給對方。不要把桌上的錢都拿走。在合作中,要牢記榮譽不是一個守恆的量。成功合作的任何一方,都應獲得全部榮譽的90%。
Jimmy Stewart, as Elwood P. Dowd in the movie "Harvey" got it exactly right. He said: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be ... she always used to call me Elwood ... in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.'" Well, for years I was smart. ... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me on that.
電影《Harvey》中,Jimmy Stewart扮演的角色Elwood P. Dowd,就完全理解這一點。他說:"多年前,母親曾經對我說,'Elwood,活在這個世界上,你要麼做一個聰明人,要麼做一個好人。'"我做聰明人,已經做了好多年了。......但是,我推薦你們做好人。你們可以引用我這句話。
My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don't have a passion, don't be satisfied until you find one. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics.
我的第三個忠告是,當你開始生活的新階段時,請跟隨你的愛好。如果你沒有愛好,就去找,找不到就不罷休。生命太短暫,如果想有所成,你必須對某樣東西傾注你的深情。我在你們這個年齡,是超級的一根筋,我的目標就是非成為物理學家不可。本科畢業後,我在加州大學伯克利分校又待了8年,讀完了研究生,做完了博士後,然後去貝爾實驗室待了9年。在這些年中,我關注的中心和職業上的全部樂趣,都來自物理學。
Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won't be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.
我還有最後一個忠告,就是說興趣愛好固然重要,但是你不應該只考慮興趣愛好。當你白發蒼蒼、垂垂老矣、回首人生時,你需要為自己做過的事感到自豪。你的物質生活和得到的承認,都不會產生自豪。只有那些你出手相助、被你改變過的人和事,才會讓你產生自豪。
After nine years at Bell labs, I decided to leave that warm, cozy ivory tower for what I considered to be the "real world," a university. Bell Labs, to quote what was said about Mary Poppins, was "practically perfect in every way," but I wanted to leave behind something more than scientific articles. I wanted to teach and give birth to my own set of scientific children.
在貝爾實驗室待了9年後,我決定離開這個溫暖舒適的象牙塔,走進我眼中的"真實世界"----大學。我對貝爾實驗室的看法,就像別人形容電影Mary Poppins的話,"實際上完美無缺"。但是,我想為世界留下更多的東西,不只是科學論文。我要去教書,培育我自己在科學上的後代。
Ted Geballe, a friend and distinguished colleague of mine at Stanford, who also went from Berkeley to Bell Labs to Stanford years earlier, described our motives best:
我在斯坦福大學有一個好友兼傑出同事Ted Geballe。他也是從伯克利分校去了貝爾實驗室,幾年前又離開貝爾實驗室去了斯坦福大學。他對我們的動機做出了最佳描述:
"The best part of working at a university is the students. They come in fresh, enthusiastic, open to ideas, unscarred by the battles of life. They don't realize it, but they're the recipients of the best our society can offer. If a mind is ever free to be creative, that's the time. They come in believing textbooks are authoritative, but eventually they figure out that textbooks and professors don't know everything, and then they start to think on their own. Then, I begin learning from them."
"在大學工作,最大的優點就是學生。他們生機勃勃,充滿熱情,思想自由,還沒被生活的重壓改變。雖然他們自己沒有意識到,但是他們是這個社會中你能找到的最佳受眾。如果生命中曾經有過思想自由和充滿創造力的時期,那麼那個時期就是你在讀大學。進校時,學生們對課本上的一字一句毫不懷疑,漸漸地,他們發現課本和教授並不是無所不知的,於是他們開始獨立思考。從那時起,就是我開始向他們學習了。"
My students, post doctoral fellows, and the young researchers who worked with me at Bell Labs, Stanford, and Berkeley have been extraordinary. Over 30 former group members are now professors, many at the best research institutions in the world, including Harvard. I have learned much from them. Even now, in rare moments on weekends, the remaining members of my biophysics group meet with me in the ether world of cyberspace.
我教過的學生、帶過的博士後、合作過的年輕同事,都非常優秀。他們中有30多人,現在已經是教授了。他們所在的研究機構有不少是全世界第一流的,其中就包括哈佛大學。我從他們身上學到了很多東西。即使現在,我偶爾還會周末上網,向現在還從事生物物理學研究的學生請教。
I began teaching with the idea of giving back; I received more than I gave. This brings me to the final movement of this speech. It begins with a story about an extraordinary scientific discovery and a new dilemma that it poses. It's a call to arms and about making a difference.
我懷著回報社會的想法,開始了教學生涯。我的一生中,得到的多於我付出的,所以我要回報社會。這就引出了這次演講的最後一個樂章。首先我要講一個了不起的科學發現,以及由此帶來的新挑戰。它是一個戰斗的號令,到了做出改變的時候了。
