名校勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)演講 第81期:追隨自己的心聲,你們一定會(huì)成功

[00:01.04]"Uh, you. The show is about you, sir." "唔，您啊。這期節(jié)目是關(guān)于您的啊，先生。" [00:06.39]Nelson Mandela was so humble that being on the show for a whole hour was not something he expected. 節(jié)目進(jìn)行的整整一個(gè)小時(shí)時(shí)間，納爾遜都表現(xiàn)得非常謙虛，完全不是制片人原來(lái)所料想的那樣。 [00:15.05]"How can such a great man be so humble," I thought. 我當(dāng)時(shí)想，“這么偉大的人物怎么能如此謙遜呢？” [00:18.42]Graduates, if you can proceed through life with just a portion of Nelson Mandela's humility, you will be a huge success. 畢業(yè)生們，如果你們能在接下來(lái)的生活中又納爾遜·曼德拉的一點(diǎn)謙遜，你們定會(huì)大有作為。 [00:29.49]When I was eight years old, I was at church one day...and a stranger came to me... 我記得我八歲的時(shí)候，有一天我去教堂，一個(gè)陌生人向我走來(lái)。 [00:39.12]and a man named John J. Hooker was running for governor at the time, and he had come to our church to campaign. 那天恰逢一個(gè)名叫約翰·J·胡克的人為競(jìng)選執(zhí)行長(zhǎng)官在教堂舉行活動(dòng)。 [00:46.57]And afterwards, outside as we were leaving the church, his wife, who was then a stranger, 后來(lái)，我們走出教堂的時(shí)候，他妻子迪斯·胡克看見我站在那兒。 [00:52.37]her name was Tish Hooker, a beautiful woman with blonde hair, classic cheekbones, flawless skin, saw me standing there. 她一頭金發(fā)，顴骨完美、皮膚無(wú)暇，當(dāng)時(shí)對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)她還是個(gè)陌生人。 [01:01.01]And you have to understand at the time I was a little black girl, but we didn't call ourselves black then. 你們要明白當(dāng)時(shí)的我就是一個(gè)小小的黑人女孩，當(dāng)然我們那時(shí)候不說(shuō)自己是黑人。 [01:08.00]Actually, back then we were colored and Negro, but whatever, I was a little girl who didn't think much of herself, 實(shí)際上，我們被叫做黑種人、黑鬼，但不管怎樣，我就是個(gè)沒把自己看的很重的小女孩， [01:16.37]but Tish Hooker walked right up to me, as id she knew I needed to hear what she had to say. 但是迪斯·胡克徑直走向我，就好像知道我想聽她說(shuō)點(diǎn)什么一樣。 [01:26.09]And she said it only as a Southern woman can. She said, "You know, you're just as pretty as a speckled pup." 她對(duì)我說(shuō)了只有南方女人才那樣說(shuō)的話，她說(shuō)：“你知道嗎，你像小斑點(diǎn)狗一樣漂亮可愛?！? [01:35.42]Now, I didn't know what a speckled pup was, but she then said, "And you have the most beautiful bee-stung lips." 我并不知道什么是小斑點(diǎn)狗，她又說(shuō)：“你有著最漂亮的撅撅嘴。”
