） 中文：世界因我而精彩 隐隐约约，一片白茫的天地中走来一位神者，他自称法号太虚，并将许我一愿，让我成为历史中的某位人物，且尝遍我选择人物的酸甜苦辣。
犹豫中，我选择了苏轼...... 面对滚滚江水，一泻千里，“乱石穿空，惊涛拍岸，卷起千堆雪”，心中毫意顿生。
多少英雄人物在历史长河中浮灭。
想当年，周公瑾何等英俊潇洒，何等雄才大略，却在诸葛孔明三气之下哀叹“既生瑜，何生亮”后吐血身亡。
而我东坡，两鬓虽有微霜，又何妨
吾尚未失赤子之心，仍愿有生之年能报效国家。
倘若能“左牵黄，右擎苍”“西北望，射天狼”，亦是大快人心
短松冈上，凄冷的月色笼罩着千里孤坟。
吾妻，此去一别，相隔天地，纵然能再次相逢，尚能铭记彼此否
手轻抚着墓碑，指尖透过透骨的凉意。
妻噫，你可知道，昨晚梦中我似回到了家乡，看着你正对着小轩窗梳妆。
我本想同你说我有多想念你，我本想同你说我也不愿离开你一步，但与你相对，千言万语似都哽在喉中。
想起过去我同你的点滴，我帮你画眉，我帮你梳发，你为我缝衣，你为我牵挂，如今，却都是人去楼空，想起真让人肝肠寸断，“惟有泪千行”。
我穿着草鞋，柱着竹杖，听着雨滴打在树叶上清脆的声音。
一路虽泥泞，又有何妨
春风夹带着些许寒意拂来，让微醺的我猛然清醒。
忆起我一生，酸甜苦辣兼备，有过及第的喜悦，有过报国的壮志，有过被贬的无奈，亦有过丧妻的心痛，此一生，也算是多姿多彩，然此刻平静的心情是前所未有，原来无论多少风雨彩虹，多少坎坷泥泞，最终也是走向幻灭。
急又何妨
乱有何用
“回首向来萧瑟处，归去，也无风雨也无晴”。
恍惚中，沉睡中的人儿睁开眼睛，原来是南柯一梦。
昏黄的灯光笼罩着房间，手上是一卷《东坡选集》。
会心一笑，我想我明白了。
人虽是宇宙中的浮游，沧海中的一粟，但亦集千万精华于一身，五彩的人生，五味的情感为世界增添了一道绚丽的风景。
震撼世界的演讲《梦想》英语演讲稿
I don’t know what that dream is that you have, I don’t care how disappointing it might have been as you’ve been working toward that dream, but that dream that you’re holding in your mind, that it’s possible!Some of you already know, that it’s hard, it’s not easy, it’s hard changing your life. That in the process of working on your dreams you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. There are moments that you are going to doubt yourself. You said, God why is this happening to me? I’m just trying to take care of my family, trying to give them a good life, I’m not trying to steal or rob from anybody. Why does this have to happen to me. For those of you that have experienced some hardships – don’t give up on your dream.The rough times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass. Greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive, God like feature that only the special among can achieve. It’s something that truly exists, in all of us. It’s very important for you to believe that you are the one!Most people they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die. They stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, the stop pushing themselves. Then a lot of people like to complain but they don’t wanna do anything about their situation. And most people don’t work on their dreams – why?1. Is because of fear, fear of failure “what if things don’t work out“?2. Is fair of success “what if they do and I can’t handle it?”These are not risk takersYou have spent so much time with other people, you have spent so much time trying to get people to like you, you know other people more than you know yourself. You’ve studied them, you know about them, you want to hang out with them, you want to be just like them. You’ve invested so much time on them, you don’t know who you are. I challenge you to spend time by yourself.It’s necessary, that you get the losers out of your life, if you want to live your dream. But people who are running towards their dreams, life has a special kind of meaning. When you become the ‘right-person’, what you do is you start separating yourself from other people you begin to have a certain uniqueness, as long as you follow other people, as long as you are being a ‘copy-cat’, you will never ever be the best copy-cat in the world but you will be the best you can be!I challenge you to define your value.Everybody won’t see it, everybody won’t join you, everybody won’t have the vision…it’s necessary to know that you are an uncommon breed. It’s necessary that you align yourself with people and attract people into your business, who are hungry, people who are unstoppable and unreasonable, people who are refusing to live life just as it is and who want more!The people that are living their dreams are parting with winners, to attach themselves to the and the people who are living their dreams are the people that know that if it’s going to happen it’s up to them!If you want to be more successful, if you want to have and do stuff you never done before then I’m asking you to invest in you!Someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality.You don’t have to go through life being a victim. And even though you face disappointments, you have to know within yourself that ‘I can do this, even if no one else sees it for me, I must see it for myself!’No matter how bad it is, how hard it gets, say to yourself, I’m going to make it!I wanna represent an idea. I wanna represent possibilities. Some of you right now, you wanna go to the next level. You wanna be a civil engineer, you wanna council, you wanna be a doctor.Listen to me: You can’t get to that level. You can’t get to that level until you start to invest in your mindI dare you to invest in your mind.I dare you to invest time.I dare you to be alone.I dare you to spend an HOUR alone to get to know yourself.I challenge you to get to a place where people do not like or do not even bother you anymore. Why? Because you’re not concerned with making them happy anyway. Because you’re trying to blow up. You’re trying to get to the next level. Because you’re investing in your mind.If you’re still talking about your dream and your goals but you have not done anything just TAKE THE FIRST STEP.You can make your parents proud, you can make your school proud you can touch millions of peoples lives and the world will never be the same again because you came this way. Don’t let anybody steal your dream!After we face a rejection and a “no” or we have a meeting and no one shows up, or somebody says “you can count on me” and they don’t come through, what if we have that kind of attitude that cause reposes, nobody believes in you, you’ve lost again, and again, the lights are cut off but you are still looking at your dream, reviewing it everyday and saying to yourself: IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN!You can live your dream!是这个吗
英文演讲 让世界更美好
美国当地1月20日上午12点05分(北京时间21日凌晨1点05分)，第44届美国总巴马发表了就职演说。
为演讲全文实录： 我的同胞们， 今天我站在这里，看到眼前面临的重大任务，深感卑微。
我感谢你们对我的信任，也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。
我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献，以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。
迄今为止，已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。
总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣，但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势。
在紧张的形势中，支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见，也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰，以及对美国立国文件的忠诚。
前辈们如此，我们这一代美国人也要如此。
现在我们都深知，我们身处危机之中。
我们的国家在战斗，对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨;国家的经济也受到严重的削弱，原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任，但更为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误，同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备。
我们的人民正在失去家园，失去工作，很多且要倒闭。
社会的医疗过于昂贵、学校教育让许多人失望，而且每天都会有新的证据显示，我们利用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力，同时也威胁着我们的星球。
统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息。
危机难以测量，但更难以测量的是其对美国人国家自信的侵蚀——现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免，我们的下一代必须低调的言论正在吞噬着人们的自信。
今天我要说，我们的确面临着很多严峻的挑战，而且在短期内不大可能轻易解决。
但是我们要相信，我们一定会度过难关。
今天，我们在这里齐聚一堂，因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望，摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结。
今天，我们宣布要为无谓的摩擦、不实的承诺和指责画上句号，我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的若干陈旧教条。
美国仍是一个年轻的国家，借用《圣经》的话说，放弃幼稚的时代已经到来了。
重拾坚韧精神的时代已经到来，我们要为历史作出更好的选择，我们要秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利，秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念：上帝赋予我们每个人以平等和自由，以及每个人尽全力去追求幸福的机会。
在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时，我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的，伟大需要努力赢得。
(我们的民族一路走来)，这旅途之中从未有过捷径或者妥协，这旅途也不适合胆怯之人、或者爱安逸胜过爱工作之人、或者单单追求名利之人。
这条路是勇于承担风险者之路，是实干家、创造者之路。
这其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着。
正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎岖的旅行，带领我们走向富强和自由。
为了我们，先辈们带着微薄的细软，横渡大洋，寻找新生活;为了我们，先辈们忍辱负重，用血汗浇铸工厂;为了我们，先辈们在荒芜的西部大地辛勤耕作，定居他乡;为了我们，先辈们奔赴(独立战争中的)康科德城和葛底斯堡、(二战中的)诺 一次又一次，我们的先辈们战斗着、牺牲着、操劳着，只为了我们可以生活得更好。
在他们看来，美国的强盛与伟大超越了个人雄心，也超越了个人的出身、贫富和派别差异。
今天我们继续先辈们的旅途。
美国依然是地球上最富裕、最强大的国家。
同危机初露端倪之时相比，美国人民的生产力依然旺盛;与上周、上个月或者去年相比，我们的头脑依然富于创造力，我们的商品和服务依然很有市场，我们的实力不曾削弱。
但是，可以肯定的是，轻歌曼舞的时代、保护狭隘利益的时代以及对艰难决定犹豫不决的时代已经过去了。
从今天开始，我们必须跌倒后爬起来，拍拍身上的泥土，重新开始工作，重塑美国。
我目之所及，都有工作有待完成。
国家的经济情况要求我们采取大胆且快速的行动，我们的确是要行动，不仅是要创造就业，更要为(下一轮经济)增长打下新的基础。
我们将造桥铺路，为企业铺设电网和数字线路，将我们联系在一起。
我们将回归科学，运用科技的奇迹提高医疗质量，降低医疗费用。
我们将利用风能、太阳能和土壤驱动车辆，为工厂提供能源。
我们将改革中小学以及大专院校，以适应新时代的要求。
这一切，我们都能做到，而且我们都将会做到。
现在，有一些人开始质疑我们的野心是不是太大了，他们认为我们的体制承载不了太多的宏伟计划。
他们是健忘了。
他们已经忘了这个国家已经取得的成就;他们已经忘了当创造力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合起来时，自由的美国人民所能发挥的能量。
这些怀疑论者的错误在于，他们没有意识到政治现实已经发生了变化，长期以来耗掉我们太多精力的陈腐政治论争已经不再适用。
今天，我们的问题不在于政府的大小，而在于政府能否起作用，政府能否帮助家庭找到薪水合适的工作、给他们可以负担得起的医疗保障并让他们体面地退休。
哪个方案能给与肯定的答案，我们就推进哪个方案。
哪个方案的答案是否定的，我们就选择终止。
而掌管纳税人税金的人应当承担起责任，合理支出，摒弃陋习，磊落做事，这有这样才能在政府和人民之间重建至关重要的相互信任。
我们面临的问题也不是市场好坏的问题。
市场创造财富、拓展自由的能力无可匹敌，但是这场危机提醒我们，如果没有监管，市场很可能就会失去控制，而且偏袒富人国家的繁荣无法持久。
国家经济的成败不仅仅取决于国内生产总值的大小，而且取决于繁荣的覆盖面，取决于我们是否有能力让所有有意愿的人都有机会走向富裕。
我们这样做不是慈善，而是因为这是确保实现共同利益的途径。
就共同防御而言，我们认为国家安全与国家理想的只能选其一的排他选择是错的。
面对我们几乎无法想像的危险，我们的先辈们起草了确保法治和个人权利的宪章。
一代代人民的鲜血夯实了这一宪章。
宪章中的理想依然照亮着世界，我们不能以经验之谈放弃这些理想。
因此我想对正在观看这一仪式的其他国家的人民和政府说，不论他们现在各国伟大的首府还是在如同我父亲出生地一般的小村落，我想让他们知道：对于每个追求和平和自尊的国家和个人而言，美国都是朋友，我们愿意再次领导大家踏上追寻之旅。
回想先辈们在抵抗法西斯主义之时，他们不仅依靠手中的导弹或坦克，他们还依靠稳固的联盟和坚定的信仰。
他们深知单凭自己的力量我们无法保护自己，他们也深知我们强大并不足以使我们有权利为所欲为。
他们明白，正是因为使用谨慎，我们的实力才不断增强;正是因为我们的事业是公正的、我们为世界树立了榜样，因为我们的谦卑和节制，我们才安全。
我们继承了这些遗产。
在这些原则的再次领导下，我们有能力应对新的威胁，我们需要付出更多的努力、进行国家间更广泛的合作以及增进国家间的理解。
首先，我们将以负责任的态度，将伊拉克交还给伊拉克人民，同时巩固阿富汗来之不易的和平。
对于老朋友和老对手，我们将继续努力，不遗余力，削弱核威胁，遏制全球变暖的幽灵。
我们不会为我们的生活方式感到报歉，我们会不动摇地捍卫我们的生活方式。
对于那些企图通过恐怖主义或屠杀无辜平民达成目标的人，我们要对他们说：我们的信仰更加坚定，不可动摇，你们不可能拖垮我们，我们定将战胜你们。
因为我们知道，我们的多元化遗产是一个优势，而非劣势。
我们国家里有基督徒也有穆斯林，有犹太教徒也有印度教徒，同时也有非宗教信徒。
我们民族的成长受到许多语言和文化的影响，我们吸取了这个星球上任何一个角落的有益成分。
正是因为我们民族曾亲尝过内战和种族隔离的苦酒，并且在经历了这些黑色的篇章之后变得更加强大更加团结，因此我们不由自主，只能相信一切仇恨终有一天都会成为过去，种族的划分不久就会消失，而且随着世界变得越来越小，我们相信终有一天人类共有的人性品德将会自动显现。
在迎接新的和平时代到来的过程中，美国需要发挥自己的作用。
上一页 [1] [2] [3] 下一页 思索前方的路，我们无时无刻不在铭记那些远征沙漠和偏远山区的英勇美国战士，对他们充满了感激之情，他们和那些安息在阿灵顿国家公墓之下的战争英雄们一样，给与我们启示。
我们尊敬他们，不仅因为他们是自由的守护者，还因为他们代表的是为国家服务的精神，他们自愿追寻比自身的价值更伟大的意义(美国国家之伟大)。
此时此刻，在这个要塑造一代人的时刻，我们需要的正是这样一种精神。
因为无论美国政府能做多少，必须做多少，美国国家的立国之本最终还是美国人的决心和信念。
于防洪堤坝决堤之时收留陌生受难者的善意，于在经济不景气的时候宁愿减少自己工时也不肯看着朋友失业的无私，正是他们支撑我们走过黑暗的时刻。
消防队员冲入满是浓烟的楼梯抢救生命的勇气，父母养育孩子的坚持，正是这些决定了我们的命运。
我们面临的挑战也许是新的，我们应对挑战的措施也许也是新的，但那些长期以来指导我们成功的价值观——勤奋、诚实、勇气、公平竞争、包容以及对世界保持好奇心，还有对国家的忠诚和爱国主义——却是历久弥新，这些价值观是可靠的。
他们是创造美国历史的无声力量。
我们现在需要的就是回归这些古老的价值观。
我们需要一个新的负责任的时代，一个觉醒的时代，每个国人都应意识到即我们对自己、对国家和世界负有责任，我们不应该不情愿地接受这些责任，而应该快乐地承担起这些责任。
我们应该坚定这一认识，即没有什么比全身心投入一项艰巨的工作更能锻炼我们的性格，更能获得精神上的满足。
这是公民应尽的义务，应做出的承诺。
我们自信源于对上帝的信仰，上帝号召我们要掌握自己的命运。
这就是我们自由和信仰的意义，这也是为何不同种族、不同信仰、不同性别和年龄的人可以同聚一堂在此欢庆的原因，也是我今天能站在这里庄严宣誓的原因，而在50多年前我的父亲甚至都不能成为地方餐馆的服务生。
所以，让我们铭记自己的身份，镌刻自己的足迹。
在美国诞生的时代，那最寒冷的岁月里，一群勇敢的爱国人士围着篝火在冰封的河边取暖。
首都被占领，敌人在挺进，冬天的雪被鲜血染成了红色。
在美国大革命最受质疑的时刻，我们的国父们这样说： “我们要让未来的世界知道……在深冬的严寒里，唯有希望和勇气才能让我们存活……面对共同的危险时，我们的城市和国家要勇敢地上前去面对。
” 今天的美国也在严峻的寒冬中面对共同的挑战，让我们记住国父们不朽的语言。
带着希望和勇气，让我们再一次勇敢地面对寒流，迎接可能会发生的风暴。
我们要让我们的子孙后代记住，在面临挑战的时候，我们没有屈服，我们没有逃避也没有犹豫，我们脚踏实地、心怀信仰，秉承了宝贵的自由权利并将其安全地交到了下一代的手中。
演讲稿这世界很美好 值得我们为之奋斗
关于奋斗励志演讲稿 有一位名叫西尔维亚的美国女孩，他的父亲是波士顿有名的整形外科医生，母亲是大学教授。
家庭对她有很大的帮助和支持，她完全有机回实现自己的理想。
她从念中学时候起，就一直梦寐以求地想当电视节目的主持人。
她觉得自己具有这方面的才干，因为她与别人相处时总能从人家嘴里套出“心里话”。
她常说：“只要给我一次机会，我相信一定会成功。
” 但是，她为达到这个理想而做了些什么呢?其实什么也没有!她在等奇迹出现，希望一下子就当上电视节目主持人。
西尔维亚不切实际地期待着，结果什么奇迹也没有出现。
另一个叫辛迪的女孩却实现了西尔维亚的理想，成了著名电视节目主持人。
辛迪之所以会成功，就因为她知道一切成功要靠自己努力去争取。
她白天去做工，晚上在大学新闻系上夜校。
毕业之后，她开始谋职，跑遍了洛杉矶每一个电台和电视台。
但是，每个经理对她的答复都差不多：“不是已经有几年经验的人，我们不会雇佣的。
” 但是，她不愿意退缩，也没有等待机会，而是去寻找机会。
终于在杂志上看到一则招聘广告：北达科他州一家小电视台招聘天气预报员。
辛迪是加州人，不喜欢北方。
但是为了梦想，她抓住了这个机会。
两年后，辛迪在洛杉矶的主流电视台找到了工作。
又过了五年，她终于得到提升，成为了梦想已久的首席主持。
为什么西尔维亚失败了，而辛迪却如愿以偿呢? 西尔维亚那种失败者的思路和辛迪的成功者的观点正好背道而驰。
一个人停留在幻想上，等待机会;一个不懈奋斗，最终圆梦。
所以，请记住：奋斗是实现理想的唯一途径。
谢谢大家!
英语演讲稿
I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that could never pay a mortgage, or secure a pension.当时，我只想去写小说。
但是，我的父母出身贫寒，没有受过大学教育。
他们认为，我那些不安分的想象力只是一种怪癖，根本不能用来还房贷，或者挣来养老金。
They had hoped that I would take a vocational degree; I wanted to study English Literature. A compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages. Hardly had my parents’ car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor.他们希望我再去读个专业学位，而我想去攻读英国文学。
最后，达成了一个双方都不甚满意的妥协：我改学外语。
可是等到父母一走开，我立刻报名学习古典文学。
I cannot remember telling my parents that I was studying Classics; they might well have found out for the first time on graduation day. Of all subjects on this planet, I think they would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology when it came to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.我不记得将这事告诉了父母。
他们可能是在毕业典礼那一天才发现的。
我想，在全世界的所有专业中，他们也许认为，不会有比研究希腊神话更没用的专业了，根本无法换来一间独立的宽敞卫生间。
I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view. ... I cannot criticise my parents for hoping that I would never experience poverty. They had been poor themselves, and I have since been poor, and I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools. 我要申明，我并不责怪父母。
……他们只是希望我不要过穷日子，我不能批评他们。
他们自己很穷，我后来一度也很穷，所以我很理解他们，贫穷是一种悲惨的经历。
它带来恐惧、压力、有时还有抑郁。
它意味着许许多多的羞辱和艰辛。
靠自己的努力摆脱贫穷，确实让人自豪，但是只有傻瓜才会将贫穷本身浪漫化。
接着，她谈到了自己那些最悲惨的日子：A mere seven years after my graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale. 我毕业后只过了7年，就失败得一塌糊涂。
An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew. 短命的婚姻闪电般地破裂，我还失业了，成了一个艰难的单身母亲。
除了流浪汉，我是当代英国最穷的人之一，真的一无所有。
我父母对我的担忧，我对自己的担忧，都变成了现实。
用平常人的标准，我是我所知道的最失败的人。
That period of my life was a dark one. I had no idea how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.那段日子是我生命中的黑暗岁月。
我不知道还要在黑暗中走多久，很长一段时间中，我有的只是希望，而不是现实。
但是，J.K. 罗琳认为，没有那段日子的失败，就不会有后来的她。
So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. 为什么我说失败是有好处的
因为失败将那些非本质的东西都剥离了。
我不再伪装自己，我找到了真正的我，我将自己所有的精力，投入完成对我最重要的唯一一项工作。
Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. 要是我以前在其他地方成功了，那么我也许永远不会有这样的决心，投身于这个我自信真正属于我的领域。
I was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.我自由了，因为我最大的恐惧已经成为现实，而我却还依然活着，依然有一个深爱着的女儿，我还有一台旧打字机和一个大大的梦想。
我生命中最低的低点，成为我重建生活的坚实基础。
Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above rubies. 失败使我的内心产生一种安全感，以前通过考试也没有的安全感。
失败让我看清自己，以前我从没认识到自己是这样的。
我发现，我比自己以为的，有更强的意志和决心。
我还发现，我有一些比宝石更珍贵的朋友。
You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.只有到逆境来临的那一天，你才会真正了解你自己，了解你结识的人。
这种了解是真正的财富，虽然是用痛苦换来的，但是它比我以前得到的任何证书都有用。
在演说的下半部分，她还谈了毕业后在大*赦*国*际（Amnesty International）伦敦总部的第一份工作。
这部分内容也很精彩，不过我就不翻译了，大家可以去看原文。
三、我要重点谈的，是演说的结尾部分。
一般来说，在演讲结束时，嘉宾将对毕业生提出期望。
我们可以看到，在这种场合，几乎所有嘉宾，都没有说“祝愿同学们取得个人成功”，而是说“希望同学们努力去减轻人类的苦难”。
比尔·盖茨去年说：Should Harvard encourage its faculty to take on the world's worst inequities? Should Harvard students learn about the depth of global poverty … the prevalence of world hunger … the scarcity of clean water …the girls kept out of school … the children who die from diseases we can cure?哈佛是否鼓励她的老师去研究解决世界上最严重的不平等
哈佛的学生是否从全球那些极端的贫穷中学到了什么……世界性的饥荒……清洁的水资源的缺乏……无法上学的女童……死于非恶性疾病的儿童……哈佛的学生有没有从中学到东西
Should the world's most privileged people learn about the lives of the world's least privileged?那些世界上过着最优越生活的人们，有没有从那些最困难的人们身上学到东西
These are not rhetorical questions – you will answer with your policies.这些问题并非语言上的修辞。
你必须用自己的行动来回答它们。
When you consider what those of us here in this Yard have been given – in talent, privilege, and opportunity – there is almost no limit to what the world has a right to expect from us.想一想吧，我们在这个院子里的这些人，被给予过什么——天赋、特权、机遇——那么可以这样说，全世界的人们几乎有无限的权力，期待我们做出贡献。
J.K.罗琳今年说：the fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you are not very well-acquainted with failure. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success. Indeed, your conception of failure might not be too far from the average person’s idea of success, so high have you already flown academically.你们是哈佛毕业生的这个事实，说明你们并不很了解失败。
你们也许极其渴望成功，所以非常害怕失败。
说实话，你们眼中的失败，很可能就是普通人眼中的成功，毕竟你们在学业上已经很成功了。
But how much more are you, Harvard graduates of 2008, likely to touch other people’s lives? Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received, give you unique status, and unique responsibilities.…… That is your privilege, and your burden.但是，所有各位哈佛大学2008届毕业生，你们对其他人的生活了解多少
你们的智慧、你们的能力、你们所受的教育，给了你们独一无二的优势，也给了你们独一无二的责任。
……你们的优势就是你们的责任。
If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped transform for the better. 你们要用自己的地位和影响，为那些被忽略的人们说话；你们不仅要看到那些有权有势者，也要看到那些无权无势者；你们要学会设想，那些条件不如你们的人们是如何生活的；那样的话，不仅你们的亲人们将为你们感到自豪，而且千千万万的人们将因为你们的帮助而生活得更好。
We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.我们不需要改变世界的魔法，我们自己的体内就有这样的力量：那就是我们一直在梦想，让这个世界变得更美好。

Our Future: A Battle between Dreams and Reality Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen: When I was in the primary school, I have a dream. I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all. When I was in the junior school, my dream was to study in my ideal high school. And when eventually I got into the high school, my dream is to get to my ideal university. How pathetic! When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic. Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be fulfilled? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called reality? What IS the reality actually? Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real. It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies. Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. A hundred years ago, man could not fly was still regarded as the reality. Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you travel around the country? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams. People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams. And if, unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality; People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality; Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality. Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands. Oh, quite a number of you! Actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task. Every one of us has to make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished. How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don't dream anymore? Dear adjudicators, what do you think? C.S. Lewis once said, You are never too old to dream a new dream. So for our future, please dream and be unrealistic. Now that I am a high school student, my goal is to graduate with excellences and get to my ideal university. But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future. One day, people living in the areas now sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment. One day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves. One day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be eliminated. One day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true. One day, our dream will defeat the reality! Thank you very much.
