there是什么意思娜塔莉波特曼 2015哈佛毕业演讲 中英文

粗劣的塑料玩具，

最终的 奖励比游戏的过程更令他兴奋。

我当然想鼓励他享受游戏的快乐和

挑战，

不断练习带来的进步，

因表现出色而得到的满足感，< /p>

甚至还有完成游戏目标时的成就

感，但这些都比不过一毛钱的塑料 小人。

小人伸出黏黏的手臂，还可以贴在墙上，

这就是奖

励。从孩子的本性中，我们看到许多自己天生的偏好，我看到了我自己，也许你们也能。

Prizes serve as false idols everywhere(

圣经里的

false idol). Prestige, wealth, fame, power. You

’

ll

be exposed to many of these, if not all. Of course, part of why

I was invited

to come to speak

today beyond my being a proud alumna is that I

’

ve recruited some very coveted toys in my life

including a not so plastic, not so crappy one: an Oscar. So we bump up against the common troll I

think of the commencement address people who have achieved a lot telling you that the fruits of

the achievement are not always to be trusted. But I think that contradiction can be reconciled and

is in fact instructive. Achievement is wonderful when you know why you

’

re doing it. And when

you don

’

t know, it can be a terrible trap.

随处可见，奖励被当成虚假偶像来崇拜，威望、财富、名声、权势，你们将来就算不会< /p>

全部遇到，

至少也会遇到其中几个。

当然 我今天来演讲的部分原因，

除了我是个自豪的哈佛

校友之外，< /p>

就是我在生命中得到了一些非常令人羡慕的玩具：

奥斯卡小金人。

在毕业演讲时

我们会撞到常见的烦事，

那就是成功人士来告诉你，

成功带来的结果并非那么值得信任。

但

我觉得这种矛盾可以被弥合，

而且是有教导意义的。

成就总是美妙的，

但你得知道为何这样

做。如果 你不知道，它就会变成可怕的陷阱。

I went to a public high school on Long Island, Syosset High School. Ooh, hello, Syosset! The girls

I went to school with had Prada bags and flat-ironed hair. And they spoke with an accent I who

had

moved

there

at

age

9

from

Connecticut

mimicked

to

fit

in.

Florida

Oranges,

Chocolate

cherries. Since I

’

m ancient and the Internet was just starting when I was in high school. People

didn

’

t really pay that much of attention to the fact that that I was an actress. I was known mainly

at school for having a back bigger than I was and always having white-out on my hands because I

hated seeing anything crossed out in my note books. I was voted for my senior yearbook

‘

most

likely to be an contestant on Jeopardy

’

or code for nerdiest. When I got to Harvard just after the

release of Star Wars: Episode 1, I knew I would be staring over in terms of how people viewed me.

I feared people would have assumed I

’

d gotten in just for being famous, and that they would think

that I was not worthy of the intellectual rigor here. And it would not have been far from the truth.

When I came here I had never written a 10-paper before. I

’

m not even sure I

’

ve written a 5-page

paper. I was alarmed and intimidated by the calm eyes of a fellow student who came here from

Dalton or Exeter who thought that compared to high school the workload here was easy.

I was

completely

overwhelmed

and

thought

that

reading

1000

pages

a

week

was

unimaginable,

that

writing

a

50-page

thesis

is

just

something

I

could

never

do.

I

Had

no

idea

how

to

declare

my

intentions. I couldn

’

t even articulate them to myself.

我高中是在长岛一家公立 学校

Syoseet

高中，

我们学校的 女生都拿着

Prada

包，

烫直了头发 ，

而他们的口音，

是我这个

9

岁从康州搬来的女孩为了融入而一直在模仿的。

因为我年纪太老，

所以我上高中时互联网刚兴起，

同学都不太在意我演员的身份，

我在学校出名是因为我的背

包比我的人还大，

而且我满手都是消正液，

因为我不喜欢笔记本上出现划掉的痕迹。

毕业年

册中我被评为“最可能成为智力竞赛选手”的人，换句话说，就是最呆的书呆子 。星战

EP1

刚上映，

我就来到哈佛读 书，

我知道我得重新建立别人对我的看法了，

我害怕大家以为我 只

是靠名声才进了哈佛，

担心他们觉得我配不上这里严格的智力 标准。

其实真相也差不多如此，

我来哈佛之前从没写过

10

页的论文，我都不知道自己写没写过

5

页的论文。我被一位同学

的淡定眼神刺激并吓坏，

< br>他是

Dalton

或者

Exet er

高中的名校生，

他说跟高中相比，

哈佛的

作业量是小菜一碟，我是完全应付不来。我觉得一周读完一千页书是不可想象的， 而写出

50

页的论文是我永远都做不到发的。我完全不知道该怎 样表达我的意图，我连跟自己说清

楚都做不到。

I

’

ve

been

acting

since

I

was

11.

But

I

thought

acting

was

too

frivolous

and

certainly

not

meaningful. I came from a family of academics and was very concerned of being taken seriously.

In contrast to

my

inability to declare myself, on my first day of orientation freshman year, five

separate students introduced themselves to me by saying, I

’

m going to be president. Remember I

told you that. Their names, for the record, were Bernie Sanders, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Barack

Obama,

Hilary

Clinton.

In

all

seriousness,

I

believed

every

one

of

them.

Their

bearing

and

self-confidence alone seemed proof of their prophecy where I couldn

’

t shake my self- doubt. I got

in only because I was famous. This was how others saw me and it was how I saw myself. Driven

by these insecurities, I decided I was going to find something to do in Harvard that was serious

and meaningful that would change the world and make it a better place.

我从

11

岁 起就在演戏，但我认为演戏是轻佻且无意义的。我出身书香门第，非常在意

别人是否把我 当回事。

跟我不敢发声相比，

大一时新生培训的第一天，

五个不同的同学分别

跟我这样自己介绍。他们说，我将来会当美国总统 ，记得我跟你说过这句话。严肃的说，他

们的名字是伯尼桑德斯、

马克卢比奥、泰德克鲁兹、巴拉克奥巴马和希拉里克林顿。说正经

的，我相信他们每一 个人，他们的态度和自信本身

就足以证明他们的预言，而我确 无法摆

脱自我怀疑。我入学只是因为我是名人，

别人就是这样看 我的，我也是这样看我自己。

在不

自信的驱使下，我决定要在哈 佛找到严肃而有意义的事情，来改变世界，让世界更美好。

At

the

age

of

18,

I

’

d

already

been

acting

for

7

years,

and

assumed

I

find

a

more

serious

and

profound

path

in

college.

So

freshman

fall

I

decided

to

take

neurologist

and

advanced

modern

Hebrew literature because I was serious and intellectual. Needless to say, I should have failed both.

I got Bs, for your information, and to this day, every Sunday I burn a small effigy to the pagan

Gods of grade inflation. But as I was fighting my way through Aleph Bet Yod Y shua in Hebrew

and

the

different

mechanisms

of

neuro-response,

I

saw

friends

around

me

writing

papers

on

sailing and pop culture magazines, and professors teaching classes on fairy tales and The Matrix. I

realized that seriousness for seriousness

’

s sake was its own kind of trophy, and a dubious one, a

pose I sought to counter some half- imagined argument about who I was. There was a reason that I

was an actor. I love what I do. And I saw from my peers and my mentors that it was not only an

acceptable reason, it was the best reason.

年仅

18

岁的我已经演了

< br>7

年戏，以为自己在大学里找到一条更加严肃和深刻的路，所以大

一那年秋天我决定修神经生物学和高等现代希伯来文学，因为我很严肃、很智慧。不用说，

我两科都应该挂掉。顺便说下，我拿到了

B

，而且直 到今日，每周末我还要烧小雕像供奉保

佑成绩注水的异教神灵。但当我为了希伯来语课的

ABC

以及神经应答的不同机制而挣扎时，

我看到朋友们写关于帆船的论文，

写流行文化杂志，

看到教 授讲童话故事和黑客帝国，

我发

现，为了严肃而严肃，这本身就 是一种虚荣，

是一种模棱两可，是为了反抗我想象出的自我

而采 取的一种姿态。

我当演员当然是有原因的，

我爱我的职业。

我从我的同伴和导师们身上

看到，这不只是一个可以接受的理由，这 是最棒的理由。

When

I

got

to

my

graduation,

siting

where

you

sit

today,

after

4

years

of

trying

to

get

excited

about something else, I admitted to myself that I couldn

’

t wait to go back and make more films. I

wanted to tell stories, to imagine the lives of others and help others do the same. I have found or

perhaps reclaimed my reason. You have a prize now or at least you will tomorrow. The prize is

Harvard degree in your hand. But what is your reason behind it ? My Harvard degree represents,

for me, the curiosity and invention that were encouraged here, the friendships I

’

ve sustained the

way Professor Graham told me not to describe the way light hit a flower but rather the shadow the

flower cast, the way Professor Scarry talked about theater is a trans- formative religious force how

professor Coslin showed how much our visual cortex is activated just by imaging.

Now granted

these

things

don

’

t

necessarily

help

me

answer

the

most

common

question

I

’

m

asked:What

designer are you wearing?What

’

s your fitness regime?Any makeup tips? But I have never since

been

embarrassed

to

myself

as

what

might

previously

have

thought

was

a

stupid

Harvard degree and other awards are emblems of the experiences which led me to wood

paneled

lecture

halls,the

colorful

fall

leaves,the

hot

vanilla

Toscaninis,reading

great

novels

in

overstuffed

library

g

through

dining

halls

!Ah!City

steps!City

steps!City steps!City steps!

当年毕业典礼时，< /p>

坐在你们今天坐的地方，

我花了四年时间来寻找其他的东西来让我 开

心。

我对自己坦白，

我真是等不及回 去拍更多的电影了。

我想要讲述故事，

想想别人的生活，

并帮助别人做到同样的事。我找到了，或者说重拾了我的理由。你们现在拿到了奖励，
