個人到一間商店買鸚鵡。店裏有三隻鸚鵡,其中一隻賣五千元,另一隻賣一萬元,還有一隻賣三萬元。

顧客問老闆:「為什麼這隻要賣五千元?這個價錢對這種鸚鵡來説太貴了!」

老闆説:「因為我有訓練他講話。」

顧客又問:「那這隻呢?他會做什麼?為什麼要賣這麼貴?」

老闆説:「他除了會説話之外,還會表演一些搞笑的動作,好比説跳舞等等,所以才賣這麼貴。」

顧客之後又問:「那第三隻呢?他會做什麼?為什麼要賣這麼貴?」

老闆説:「我不明白。我從沒聽過他講話、吹口哨或唱歌,也沒看過他跳舞,什麼都沒有!但是另外兩隻叫他:『老闆!』

A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat。 As she was very fussy, it took hera long time to pick on one。 Already at the end of his patience the salesman wasafraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: "Anexcellent choice, madam。 You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!"To his dismay, the lady took off her hat at once and said: "I don't want a hatthat makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off。 Show me some morehats!"

英語演講稿七年級 篇5

every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.

as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. i could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and unforgettable. justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.

friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. it is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it is also like a cup of tea. when we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.

however, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. all of us have to spare some time for personal lives. we have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. when staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

as we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. but it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. there is a famous motto saying that “a friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” it is really true. we have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. when we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.

finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts.

我們每一個人,富裕還是貧窮,至少應該有一個或兩個好朋友。我的朋友們會聽我的,當我想説話的時候,會抹去我的眼睛當我哭泣,會照顧我當我生病了,和我的朋友會和我一起並排通過這次旅行的生活。 作為學生,我們可以分享更多的時間與我們的朋友。友誼在我們年輕的心是純潔的,新鮮和簡單。我經常覺得很幸運,有很多好朋友。尤其是當我有賈斯汀是我最好的朋友之一。賈斯汀是我的英語老師來自美國。我見到他在1996年當我還是一個學生,只能説很少的英語。賈斯汀是一個生動的年輕人和一個燦爛的微笑在他的臉上,他總有他的特殊的方式使課堂活躍和有吸引力。他教我們英語講故事,玩遊戲,唱歌,甚至跳舞。我仍然可以記得很清楚,當我們天色已類的一個下午,我們去了一些其他類為他們唱歌,就像人們在聖誕前夕在美國做些什麼。它是如此有趣和令人難忘的。賈斯汀是一個優秀的老師,因為他不僅教我們如何學好英語,而且找到的美麗世界的方式和方法的天使到別人的生活。我知道有友誼和純潔的愛在我們心中。面對這種寶貴的情感國籍和年齡是很重要的,真正的重要性在於信仰,理解,和關心。賈斯汀是我曾經遇到的最好的朋友,我知道我將珍惜那些日子和他呆在一起的最好的我的記憶的一部分。

友誼是一種財寶在我們的生活中。它實際上是像一瓶酒,將其保存的時間越長,甜。也像一杯茶。當我們口渴時,這將是我們的最佳選擇,但當我們有足夠的時間玩得很開心的,也是最芳香的飲料。 然而,在這個快速發展的現代社會,現實不是。越來越多的人忘了享受生命的美麗和——美麗的友誼。他們努力工作為了獲得一個更高的位置,在社會和為他們的工作賺更多的錢。當然,我們並不否認,重要的是要找到一個好地方在我們的生活中,但我們希望越來越多的人能更關注自己和他們的朋友。我們所有人必須備用一些個人生活的時間。我們必須找到機會來表達我們的情感和愛。當住在我們的朋友,我們可以完全釋放自己。我們可以做任何我們想要的,我們可以一起開懷大笑,一起交談,甚至一起哭。我應該説在一起與我們最好的朋友是我們生活的最美妙的時刻。

我們知道,我們會感到孤獨,如果我們甚至沒有一個朋友。但這並不意味着我們可以依靠我們的朋友。有一個著名的格言説:“一個朋友就像一個被子棉絮,但真正的東西,使你温暖的是你自己的温度。“這是真的。我們必須努力工作和我們的朋友一起,互相鼓勵,互相幫助。當我們接受愛和友誼,我們應該報答儘可能多。 最後,讓我們一起祈禱,有一天,我們都能找到我們想要找到的人,並可以享受一個真正的美麗的友誼在我們的生活中。讓我們之間的友誼的花朵祈禱我們的朋友和我們在我們的心總是綻放明亮。

英語演講稿七年級 篇6

On New Year's Eve, our class had a party. The atmosphere was good. It was out of the ordinary from the very begining. The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. Then with three resounding crow of a cock echoing in the hall, the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

Then, the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken. They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted. He shouted our, “The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn.” The hall After that, they had another item.

This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there, the other three stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right:“The dog stands out among a group of chickens.”

Then we all sang and played games until it was eleven o'clock at night. The old man on night watch came to turn off the lights. We had to tear ourselves away from the party.

From this activity, I discovered that many of our classmates are really talented singers.

Therefore, travel is not stopped. It went to not only the country but alsoforeign countries. The communication of the intention can have been done withthe person in the country though the word did not run well. However, I thoughtthat the handicap of the word was large. I thought it was good if the word couldbe understood more many times. Therefore, I think that I should study thelanguage study more. It can meet the one different according to the land whentraveling. The tourist spot is, and there is a lot of one not so either. Thereare a lot of very good points of the place taught to the person in efore, it is always made to speak.

我當時正在旅行,所有的人都有一個非常温暖的心。這是很好。也有一個人教授各種各樣的土地。我不認為在這個人身上有兩個學位。然而,我不認為我忘記了。因為,原因是有很多美好的回憶。

因此,旅行並沒有停止。不僅是國家,而且是外國。儘管這個詞的運行不太好,但意圖的傳達卻可以與這個國家的人進行。然而,我認為這個詞的障礙很大。我認為如果這個詞能被理解更多的次數,那就更好了。因此,我認為我應該更多地學習語言學習。在旅行時,它可以根據陸地的不同而不同。旅遊景點是,也有很多人不是這樣。這個地方有很多很好的地方教當地人。因此,它總是被用來説話。我沒有獨自旅行。我有時想單獨出去旅行。你呢?和別人一起旅行也很好。然而,我非常渴望孤獨的旅程。它不是,並渴望自由旅行的目的地。我想出去旅行一段時間。

英語演講稿七年級 篇10

thanks for your attention.

a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.

another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.

in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.

英語演講稿七年級 篇11

A Brother Like That A Brother Like That A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?"

he said. Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."

The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ."

He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish,"

the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."

Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"

"Oh yes, Id love that."

After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?"

the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sathim down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about."

Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give . . . "

中文譯文;

哥哥的心願 聖誕節時,保羅的哥哥送他一輛新車。聖誕節當天,保羅離開辦公室時,一個男孩繞着那輛閃 閃發亮的新車,十分讚歎地問:

"先生,這是你的車?"

保羅點點頭:"這是我哥哥送給我的聖誕節禮物。"男孩滿臉驚訝,支支吾吾地説:"你是説這 是你哥送的禮物,沒花你一分錢?天哪,我真希望也能……"

保羅當然知道男孩他真想希望什麼。他希望能有一個象那樣的哥哥。但是小男孩接下來説的話 卻完全出乎了保羅的意料。

"我希望自己能成為送車給弟弟的哥哥。"男孩繼續説。

保羅驚愕地看着那男孩,衝口而出地説:"你要不要坐我的車去兜風?"

"哦,當然好了,我太想坐了!"

車開了一小段路後,那孩子轉過頭來,眼睛閃閃發亮,對我説:"先生,你能不能把車子開到 我家門前?"

保羅微笑,他知道孩子想幹什麼。那男孩必定是要向鄰居炫耀,讓大家知道他坐了一部大轎車 回家。但是這次保羅又猜錯了。"你能不能把車子停在那兩個台階前?"男孩要求道。

男孩跑上了階梯,過了一會兒保羅聽到他回來了,但動作似乎有些緩慢。原來把他跛腳的弟弟 帶出來了,將他安置在第一個台階上,緊緊地抱着他,指着那輛新車。

只聽那男孩告訴弟弟:"你看,這就是我剛才在樓上對你説的那輛新車。這是保羅他哥哥送給 他的哦!將來我也會送給你一輛像這樣的車,到那時候你就能自己去看那些在聖誕節時,掛窗 口上的漂亮飾品了,就象我告訴過你的那樣。"

保羅走下車子,把跛腳男孩抱到車子的前座。興奮得滿眼放光的哥哥也爬上車子,坐在弟弟的 身旁。就這樣他們三人開始一次令人難忘的假日兜風。

那個聖誕夜,保羅才真正體會主耶穌所説的"施比受更有福"的道理。

英語演講稿七年級 篇12

if there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is theability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because theperson was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his nextundertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to it isn't defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeatthe guide and encouragement to success.

生活中如果有任何一個因素可以促進成功,那就是從挫折中受益的能力。我所瞭解的每一次達到的成功都是因為那個人能夠對挫折進行分析,在下一次工作中真正得益。如果混淆挫折和失敗,你就註定會真正失敗。因為不是挫折使你失敗,而是你自己拒絕從挫折中看到成功的方向和勇氣。關於挫折的英語作文

Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in thelife of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you doface it without humiliation, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, inother words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us forsuccess, but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling desire to you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more andmore tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction whichshould give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If youexploit the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more thanyou are capable of.

挫折並不可恥。在每個取得成功的人的生活中,挫折是家常便飯。但你一定要能夠面對挫折而不感到羞恥,能夠分析它並瞭解失敗的原因,否則挫折就是絕對的損失。換言之,挫折可以幫助解決它自身的起因。挫折不但可以為我們成功做好準備,而且沒有任何東西可以在我們的內心激發起如此強烈的想要成功的慾望。如果你讓一個嬰兒抓住一根竿子,然後試着把竿子抽出來,孩子就會越抓越緊,直到他們整個重量都依附於此。每次你被擊敗的時候,正是這同樣的反應會賦予你嶄新的更為巨大的力量。如果你能夠利用挫折帶來的這種力量,你就能夠用它來完成遠遠超乎你能力的目標。

英語演講稿七年級 篇13

美聯儲主席伯克南普林斯頓大學畢業典禮演講稿中英雙語對照:

It's nice to be back at Princeton. I find it difficult to believe that it's been almost 11 years since I departed these halls for Washington. I wrote recently to inquire about the status of my leave from the university, and the letter I got back began, "Regrettably, Princeton receives many more qualified applicants for faculty positions than we can accommodate."重返普林斯頓感覺不錯,很難相信,我離開校園赴華盛頓已經11年了。近期我向校方詢問了我的教職問題,回信稱:“很遺憾,普林斯頓收到很多更有才華的學者的求職信,而教職有限。”

I'll extend my best wishes to the seniors later, but first I want to congratulate the parents and families here. As a parent myself, I know that putting your kid through college these days is no walk in the park. Some years ago I had a colleague who sent three kids through Princeton even though neither he nor his wife attended this university. He and his spouse were very proud of that accomplishment, as they should have been. But my colleague also used to say that, from a financial perspective, the experience was like buying a new Cadillac every year and then driving it off a cliff. I should say that he always added that he would do it all over again in a minute. So, well done, moms, dads, and families.我將在稍後獻上對畢業生的最美好祝願,首先我要恭喜在座的家長們。作為父母,我知道這年頭供孩子讀完大學不容易,數年前,我的一個同事有3個孩子畢業於普林斯頓,儘管他們夫妻都不畢業於此,但我的同事常説,從財政角度講,這如同每年買輛卡迪拉克,然後讓車墜崖。他總會補充説,他會毫不猶豫的選擇重新來過。所以,感謝你們的工作,母親們,父親們,及家人們。

This is indeed an impressive and appropriate setting for a commencement. I am sure that, from this lectern, any number of distinguished spiritual leaders have ruminated on the lessons of the Ten Commandments. I don't have that kind of confidence, and, anyway, coveting your neighbor's ox or donkey is not the problem it used to be, so I thought I would use my few minutes today to make Ten Suggestions, or maybe just Ten Observations, about the world and your lives after Princeton. Please note, these points have nothing whatsoever to do with interest rates. My qualification for making such suggestions, or observations, besides having kindly been invited to speak today by President Tilghman, is the same as the reason that your obnoxious brother or sister got to go to bed later--I am older than you. All of what follows has been road-tested in real-life situations, but past performance is no guarantee of future results.這確實是做畢業典禮演講的合適場合,我認為,在這一講台上,每個精神導師都受到過“十誡”的教誨,我沒有那樣的信心,而且無論無何,覬覦鄰居的驢牛已不是目前的問題,所以今年前幾分鐘我將提出“十個建議”,或稱為對這個世界和你們畢業後的生活的十個觀察。請注意,這十點與利率毫無關係。我之所以有資格提出這些建議和或觀察,除了普林斯頓的善意邀請外,理由和你們討厭的哥哥姐姐可以晚睡是一個道理:我比你們更老。以下內容均經受過生活的考驗,但以往表現並不能確保未來的結果。

1. The poet Robert Burns once said something about the best-laid plans of mice and men ganging aft agley, whatever "agley" means. A more contemporary philosopher, Forrest Gump, said something similar about life and boxes of chocolates and not knowing what you are going to get. They were both right. Life is amazingly unpredictable; any 22-year-old who thinks he or she knows where they will be in 10 years, much less in 30, is simply lacking imagination. Look what happened to me: A dozen years ago I was minding my own business teaching Economics 101 in Alexander Hall and trying to think of good excuses for avoiding faculty meetings. Then I got a phone call... In case you are skeptical of Forrest Gump's insight, here's a concrete suggestion for each of the graduating seniors. Take a few minutes the first chance you get and talk to an alum participating in his or her 25th, or 30th, or 40th reunion--you know, somebody who was near the front of the P-rade. Ask them, back when they were graduating 25, 30, or 40 years ago, where they expected to be today. If you can get them to open up, they will tell you that today they are happy and satisfied in various measures, or not, and their personal stories will be filled with highs and lows and in-betweens. But, I am willing to bet, those life stories will in almost all cases be quite different, in large and small ways, from what they expected when they started out. This is a good thing, not a bad thing; who wants to know the end of a story that's only in its early chapters? Don't be afraid to let the drama play out.1、阿甘曾講到人生和巧克力的相似性,你不知道下一塊巧克力的味道。人生確實難以預料,任何一個認為知道其10年後情況的畢業生,更不同説三十年了,我只能説他或她缺乏想象力。看看我吧,12年前我一心教經濟學入門課程,想着編造什麼理由不參加教學會議,結果我接到了那個電話。有過你有機會與畢業25年、30年或40年的校友交談,並使他們敞開心扉,他們將告訴你,他們對生活中哪些事滿意或不滿意,他們經歷過的高潮和低谷。但我敢打賭,他們的人生故事將與預期相異。這是好事而不是壞事,誰想在故事的開篇就知道結局呢?

2. Does the fact that our lives are so influenced by chance and seemingly small decisions and actions mean that there is no point to planning, to striving? Not at all. Whatever life may have in store for you, each of you has a grand, lifelong project, and that is the development of yourself as a human being. Your family and friends and your time at Princeton have given you a good start. What will you do with it? Will you keep learning and thinking hard and critically about the most important questions? Will you become an emotionally stronger person, more generous, more loving, more ethical? Will you involve yourself actively and constructively in the world? Many things will happen in your lives, pleasant and not so pleasant, but, paraphrasing a Woodrow Wilson School adage from the time I was here, "Wherever you go, there you are." If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements won't bring you much satisfaction.2、 是否人生偶然性之大的事實,意味着小的決定和行動無足輕重,不需要規劃和奮鬥呢?當然不是。無論未來人生如何,她將是一個宏大和漫長的項目,是你作為個人 的發展過程。你的家人、朋友和你在普林斯頓的時光已經為你造就了良好的開端,未來你會如何?你會不斷學習、竭力思索、對至關重要的問題持批判態度嗎?你會 成為情感上更強大、更大度、更有愛心、更道德的人嗎?你會更積極的、更建設性的參與世事嗎?你的人生會有很多故事,快樂的,及不太快樂的,如果你不為自己 感到快樂,就連最偉大的成就業也不會讓你感到滿足。

3. The concept of success leads me to consider so-called meritocracies and their implications. We have been taught that meritocratic institutions and societies are fair. Putting aside the reality that no system, including our own, is really entirely meritocratic, meritocracies may be fairer and more efficient than some alternatives. But fair in an absolute sense? Think about it. A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment; luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement, and, probably, income; luckiest in their educational and career opportunities; and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate--these are the folks who reap the largest rewards. The only way for even a putative meritocracy to hope to pass ethical muster, to be considered fair, is if those who are the luckiest in all of those respects also have the greatest responsibility to work hard, to contribute to the betterment of the world, and to share their luck with others. As the Gospel of Luke says (and I am sure my rabbi will forgive me for quoting the New Testament in a good cause): "From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded" (Luke 12:48, New Revised Standard Version Bible). Kind of grading on the curve, you might say.3、 成功的概念促使我考慮所謂的精英主義及其含義。精英是在健康和基因上最幸運的人,他們在家庭支持、鼓勵上,或在收入上也是最幸運的,他們在教育和職業機遇 上最幸運,他們在很多方面都最幸運,一般人難以複製。一個精英體制是否公平,要看這些精英是否有義務努力工作、致力於建設更好的世界,並與他人分享幸運。

4. Who is worthy of admiration? The admonition from Luke--which is shared by most ethical and philosophical traditions, by the way--helps with this question as well. Those most worthy of admiration are those who have made the best use of their advantages or, alternatively, coped most courageously with their adversities. I think most of us would agree that people who have, say, little formal schooling but labor honestly and diligently to help feed, clothe, and educate their families are deserving of greater respect--and help, if necessary--than many people who are superficially more successful. They're more fun to have a beer with, too. That's all that I know about sociology.4、誰值得尊重?是那些充分利用其優勢,或勇敢面對逆境的人。我想我們會認同,那些雖然接受的正式教育不多,但誠實勞動、勤勉的為家人提供衣食和教育的人,相比更多表面上很成功的人,更值得尊重,和他們喝兩杯是更有趣的事情。

5. Since I have covered what I know about sociology, I might as well say something about political science as well. In regard to politics, I have always liked Lily Tomlin's line, in paraphrase: "I try to be cynical, but I just can't keep up." We all feel that way sometime. Actually, having been in Washington now for almost 11 years, as I mentioned, I feel that way quite a bit. Ultimately, though, cynicism is a poor substitute for critical thought and constructive action. Sure, interests and money and ideology all matter, as you learned in political science. But my experience is that most of our politicians and policymakers are trying to do the right thing, according to their own views and consciences, most of the time. If you think that the bad or indifferent results that too often come out of Washington are due to base motives and bad intentions, you are giving politicians and policymakers way too much credit for being effective. Honest error in the face of complex and possibly intractable problems is a far more important source of bad results than are bad motives. For these reasons, the greatest forces in Washington are ideas, and people prepared to act on those ideas. Public service isn't easy. But, in the end, if you are inclined in that direction, it is a worthy and challenging pursuit.5、 提到政治,憤世嫉俗是批判性思考和建設性行動的更糟糕的替代品。當然,利益、金錢和意識形態都有影響力,如你在政治課上所學。但我的感受是大部分政界人士 都在尋求做正確的事情,大部分時候,這由他們的觀點和意識決定。在複雜及難於處理的問題上所犯的誠實錯誤,更是糟糕結果的主要原因,而非不良動機。因此, 華盛頓最有影響的力量是觀念和想法,人們基於這些觀念去行動。公共服務並不輕鬆,如果你選擇了這一道路,那是值得的,並頗具挑戰性。

6. Having taken a stab at sociology and political science, let me wrap up economics while I'm at it. Economics is a highly sophisticated field of thought that is superb at explaining to policymakers precisely why the choices they made in the past were wrong. About the future, not so much. However, careful economic analysis does have one important benefit, which is that it can help kill ideas that are completely logically inconsistent or wildly at variance with the data. This insight covers at least 90 percent of proposed economic policies.6、經濟學是頗具詭辯性的思維領域,她在解釋決策者以往所犯錯誤方面顯得很崇高,但在預測未來時,則不僅如此。然而,謹慎的經濟分析確有重要益處,她能去除那些不合邏輯或與數據不符的想法,這對90%的經濟政策建議有影響。

7. I'm not going to tell you that money doesn't matter, because you wouldn't believe me anyway. In fact, for too many people around the world, money is literally a life-or-death proposition. But if you are part of the lucky minority with the ability to choose, remember that money is a means, not an end. A career decision based only on money and not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness.7、我不會告訴你們金錢無用,反正你們也不會聽的。事實上,對全球很多人來説,金錢能夠決定生存還是死亡。但如果你屬於那些幸運得有能力進行抉擇的少數人,請記住,金錢只是途徑,而非最終目標。職業選擇基於收入、而非熱愛,或做出貢獻的熱情,是日後苦惱的根源。

8. Nobody likes to fail but failure is an essential part of life and of learning. If your uniform isn't dirty, you haven't been in the game.8、沒有人希望失敗,但失敗是生活和學習的一部分。如果你衣衫整齊,你並沒有進入比賽。

9. I spoke earlier about definitions of personal success in an unpredictable world. I hope that as you develop your own definition of success, you will be able to do so, if you wish, with a close companion on your journey. In making that choice, remember that physical beauty is evolution's way of assuring us that the other person doesn't have too many intestinal parasites. Don't get me wrong, I am all for beauty, romance, and sexual attraction--where would Hollywood and Madison Avenue be without them? But while important, those are not the only things to look for in a partner. The two of you will have a long trip together, I hope, and you will need each other's support and sympathy more times than you can count. Speaking as somebody who has been happily married for 35 years, I can't imagine any choice more consequential for a lifelong journey than the choice of a traveling companion.9、 我希望你們能夠發展自身對成功的定義,在這一過程中,你們能夠選擇一位親密的伴侶。在做出選擇時,要記住外表美只是人類演變的一種方式,它使我們確信對方 沒有腸道寄生蟲。不要誤解我,我也為美麗、浪漫和性所吸引,不然美國影視業和廣告業怎麼生存下去呢?但儘管重要,這些不是尋找人生伴侶時需要考慮的事 情。你們將共同走過人生旅程,需要對方的支持和關愛。作為已婚35年的人士,我想象不到比選擇人生伴侶更重要的事情。

10. Call your mom and dad once in a while. A time will come when you will want your own grown-up, busy, hyper-successful children to call you. Also, remember who paid your tuition to Princeton.10、時不時的給父母去個電話。早晚有一天,你希望自己長大成人的、工作繁忙的、超級成功的孩子給你來個電話,再者,請記着誰供養你上的大學。

Those are my suggestions. They're probably worth exactly what you paid for them. But they come from someone who shares your affection for this great institution and who wishes you the best for the future.

Congratulations, graduates. Give 'em hell.最後,畢業生們,給他們點顏色看看。
