王力宏牛津大学演讲稿中英对照：

Thank you, Plena. Thank you, Jun. Thank you, Peishan for helping this set up.

谢谢波琳娜，谢谢君，谢谢珮姗帮我组织这一切。

Thank you all for being here today and the late comers as well. Thank you for

coming in quietly.

谢谢在座的各位，谢谢晚来的同学，也谢谢你们悄悄的进来。

I wanna start off today just to take a moment of silence for the victims of the

Sichuan earthquake and also for the victims of the Boston marathon bombing.

So let?s just take a minute to pay our respect to that.

今天开始之前，我想要先 为四川地震的灾民们以及波士顿马拉松爆炸事件的受害者们默哀。

让我们用一分钟时间， 为他们祈福。

Thank you.

谢谢你们。

I never thought I would be addressing you, the esteemed members of the

Oxford Union, without a guitar or an Erhu, without my crazy stage hair,

costumes. But I did perform in the O2 Arena in London last week. I am not sure

if any of you were able to make that. But in many ways, that was similar to what

I?m talking about today, that is, introducing Chinese pop music here.

尊敬的各位牛津大学辩论会和牛津大学亚太学生会的同学们，

万万想 不到会以这样的方式跟

你们相聚。

没有吉他和二胡，

“

火力全开

”

头。

不过上周确实在伦敦

的

O2

体育馆表演过了。不知道大家有没有去看呢。但是，从各 方面来说，这些跟我们今天

的话题都有密切的关联。那就是

-< /p>

介绍华流音乐。

See, I am actually an ambassador of Chinese pop, whether I like it or not, both

music and movies. And today I?m here to give you the state of union address.

It?s not the Oxford Union. It?s the union of east and west. I wanna frankly,

openly and honestly talk about how we?ve done a good job or how we?ve done a

bad job of bringing Chinese pop to the west. And I also want to press upon all of

you here today the importance of that soft culture, that soft power exchange

and how each of us is involved in that exchange.

其实无论我喜不喜欢，

我都被认为在代表 者华流音乐以及电影。

那么今天，

我就要来做一次

“

国情咨文

”

报告了。但是 ，这个

“

国

”

不是牛津，而是东西方的一个联合体。我想跟你们聊一

聊，我们在将华语音乐引入西方社 会方面所做的事情，无论是成就，还是不足。我都会坦诚

布公。

同时，

我也想借此机会给你们留下这样一个印记：

软实力交流的 重要性以及它同我们

每个人的相关程度。

Soft power, a term I am sure you are all familiar with this point

软实力这个词我相信大家都不陌生。这个概念是由

Rhodes Scholar

和牛津校友

Joseph

Nye

提出的。

1

Coined by Rhodes Scholar and Oxford alumnus Joseph Nye is defined as the

ability to attract and persuade.

被定义为一种

“

吸引

”

和

“

说 服

”

的能力。

ShashiTharoor called it, in a recent TED Talk, the ability for a culture to tell a

compelling story and influence others to fall in love with it.

Shashi Tharoor

在最近的一次

TED

演 讲中把它定义为

“

一种文化让其他文化在听了他动人

”

的能力。< /p>

I like that definition.

我很喜欢这个定义。

But I want to put it in collegiate term for all you students in the audience: The

way I see it, east and west are kinda like freshman roommates.

但是我想用贴近你们在做大学生们的方式来解释这个词。

在我看来，

东方跟西方在某种程度

上，像是 两个大一刚入学的新生舍友。

You don?t know a lot about each other but suddenly you are living together in

the same room. And each one is scared th

at the other?s gonna steal his shower

time or wants a party when the other wants to study.

两个几乎陌生的人，突然来 到同一个屋檐下，其中一个总是怕另一个会跟他抢洗澡的时间，

或者在他想要学习的时候 大开趴体。

It has the potential to be absolute hell, doesn?t it? We all had horrible stories of

THAT roommate. We?ve a

ll heard about those stories. I know a lot of students

here in Oxford have your own separate bedrooms. But when I was a freshman

at Williams College, I was not so safe and fortunate.

这种关系很可能就变成跟地狱一样了 ，不是么？

“

我的室友是极品

”

的故事大家都讲得出来。

这些事我都有耳闻。

还有我知道牛津这儿的很多同学都一人一间的对吧，

但是，

在我 刚上威

廉姆斯学院的时候，我并不幸运，而且人身安全堪忧。

(You are kidding me. Woo-hoo! All right, all right

！

Great. )

哇，你还真的是我们学校的！好吧，好棒！

Well, I had a roommate, and he was THAT roommate. Let?s just call him Frank.

So Frank was my roommate and Frank liked nothing more than to smoke weed.

And he did it every day.

我当时就有一个这样的极品舍友，让我们暂且叫他

frank

。这个

frank

就是那 种好像除了

抽大麻没有别的爱好的人。而且他每天都抽。

And Frank had a two-foot long bong under his bed that was constantly being

fired up. For those Chiese speakers in the audience. Frank would “

火力全开

” on

that bong every day.

他床底下有一个两英尺长的烟斗，

持续不断的得点着。

给在做讲中文的同学们形容下，

就 是

他每天会对着那个烟斗火力全开

2

All right

好吧。

So, I guess I was kinda of the opposite of Bill Clinton who “tried marijuana but

didn?t inhale”. I didn?t try marijuana but I did inhale, every single day, second

hand. And strangely enough every time I dwelt into our bedroom, I

mysteriously end up being late for class. I don?t know how it happened. It was

like “Dude, it is already ten o?clock?”.

我可能在这点上算是跟

Bill Clinton

相反吧。

Bill Clinton

是那种

“

我试过大麻，但我不上

瘾。< /p>

”

我不抽大麻，但是我每天都在吸啊吸，而且还是二手的。奇怪的 是，只要我在我们的

卧室里，

我最后都会稀里糊涂地上课迟到。

我也不知道怎么回事。

我当时就是那副吸了大麻

的样子，嘿，已经十点了吗？

So, how many of you have lived with the Frank, or could be a Frank Gat? Having

a roommate can be a recipe for disaster, but it also has the potential for being

the greatest friendship y

ou?ve ever had. See, Frank, he didn?t make it the

second year. And I got two new roommates second year, Stephen and Jason.

And in this day, the three of us are the best friends.

你们中有多少人有过

frank

那样的舍友呢？或者，你们也像他一样。所以有一个室友可能

是一场灾难的开始。但也可能会酿造一段非凡的友谊。

Frank

第二年就辍学了。于是我换

了两个新的舍友，

Ste fan

和

Jason

。如今，我们三个是铁哥们。

So going back to my analogy, of east and west as roommates. Do we want to be

Frank, or do we want to be Stephen and Jason? And I think, in this day and age

of 2013, we should all be striving for the latter, should w

e…I mean I?m assuming

that we all agree that this is the goal we should all be striving for.

回过头来看我的那个类比，我们东方和西方的舍友。是应该成为

frank

那样的存在，还是

想像

< br>Stefan

和

Jason

那样呢？我认为在当时当下，在

2013

，我们应该努力成为后者。

我们应该，我是说，我想在这一目标上我们是可以达成共识 的，对吧？

Let?s look at where we are in reality. Recen

t headlines in the media include,

Foreign Policy Magazine: China?s victim complex. Why are Chinese leaders so

paranoid about the United States? Or the AFP, the Agence France-Presse,

human rights in China worsening US finds. Bloomberg says, on the cover of its

magazine, “yes, the Chinese Army is spying on you.”

那么，

回过头来，

正视我们在现实中的处境。

看看最近的新闻头条 ：

《外交政策》

杂志上的，
