Some people think there is no true friendship exsting, but I believe a friend in need is a friend in deed.In my oppinion, friends are those who could share happiness and also sadness with you together. When you are upset, they could comfort you,and say I know you whether they really know or not. And when you get success they will be joyful with you. They may be sometimes hurt you, but never at the urgent time.And friendship needs no rewards. But that depends on two sides of us. Each side is a important ingridient.In a word, I believe in true friendship.

英语演讲比赛时用的原稿,效果不错 ! 题目 choice Everyone has a choice when he wakes up in the early morning.You can choose to be happy or sad all the day. But for me , I think I have responsibilities to fulfill all the day. So every morning my first job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have. Today I can complain because it is rainy or I can be grateful that the grass is watered for free. Today I can feel sad because I don’t have more money or I can be glad that it will prevent me from wasting. Today I can feel very down because of a bad cold or I can rejoice that I am still alive. Today I can lament over all that my parents didn’t give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born. Today I can be disappionted for my lack of friends or I can be excited to discover new relationships. Today I can be exhausted because I have too much homework to do or I can feel honored because I’m getting closer to my dream in this way. What today will be like is just up to ourselves.We can get to choose what kind of day we will have! As teenagers,we stilll have much time to achieve our dreams, but the way to success is not so easy.If we choose to face it in a good mood and carry on trying,I believe we can enjoy the whole process and get to the destination of success much more easily and happily. In fact,everything depends on your own attitude.If you choose to be happy and positive,you will enjoy your work and have a good time.If you choose to be sad and negative,nothing good will come to you and your life will be colourless. The world around us is so beautiful.There is no reason why we don’t enjoy it.So,everybody,let’s choose to be happy everyday
Ok,that’s all. Thanks for listening! 希望帮到你,望采纳

励志的成功的
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy less. 我们这个时代在历史上的说法就是我们拥有更高的建筑,但是有更暴的脾气;我们拥有更宽阔的高速公路,却有更狭隘的观点;我们花费得更多,拥有得却更少;我们购买得更多却享受得更少。
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. 我们的房子越来越大,家庭却越来越小;便利越来越多,时间却越来越少;学位越来越多,感觉却越来越少;知识越来越多,观点却越来越少;专家越来越多,问题也越来越多;药物越来越多,健康却越来越少。
We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. 我们喝得太多,花钱大手大脚,笑得太少,开车太快,易怒,熬夜,赖床,书读得越来越少,电视看得越来越多,却很少向上帝祈祷。
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years. 我们常常夸夸其谈,却很少付出爱心,且常常心中充满了仇恨。
我们学会了如何谋生,而不知如何生活。
我们延长了生命的期限,而不是生活的期限。
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; we’ve done larger things, but not better things. 我们登上了月球,并成功返回,却不能穿过街道去拜访新邻居。
我们已经征服了太空,却征服不了自己的内心;我们的事业越做越大,但质量却没有提高。
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less. 我们清洁了空气,却污染了灵魂;我们分离了原子,却无法驱除我们的偏见;我们写得更多,学到的却更少;我们的计划更多,完成的却更少。
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals. 我们学会了奔跑,却忘记了如何等待;我们的收入越来越高,道德水平却越来越低。
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we’ve become long on quantity, but short on quality. 我们制造了更多的计算机来存储更多的信息,制造了最多的副本,却减少了交流;我们开始渴望数量,但忽视了质量。
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but more broken homes. 这个时代有双收入,但也有了更高的离婚率;有更华丽的房屋,却有更多破碎的家庭。
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading...? 这个时代有了快速旅游,免洗尿布,却抛弃了道德、一夜情、超重的身体,以及可以从快乐中走向静止和自杀的药物。
我们将走向何方……
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. 如果我们明天就死掉,我们为之工作的公司可能会在一天内很轻易地找人代替我们的位置。
但是当我们离开家人后,他们的余生将会在失落中度过。
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed. 考虑一下吧,我们将自己的时间更多地投入到工作中,而放弃与家人在一起的时光,实在并非明智之举。
So what is the morale of the story?那么这则故事的主旨是什么呢?Don’t work too hard... and you know what’s the full word of family? 不要工作得太辛苦,你知道家的全称吗
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU. 家=爸爸妈妈,我爱你们。
求一些名人励志英语演讲稿,不要太长的。
名人励志英语演讲稿Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very si-mp-le. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and drewell. When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition, we should smile and appear friendly. After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It's also important to be good listeners; in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip. Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.如何才能受人欢迎大部分的人都想受人欢迎,但是并非每个人都能达到目标。
受欢迎的秘诀何在?事实上是很简单的。
步骤一,先改善我们的外表。
我们得确保自己很健康,并且穿着体面。
当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时,不仅看起来更有精神,自己也会觉得好多了。
此外,我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。
毕竟,脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。
如果我们能做到这一点,别人会被我们的美好外表所吸引,并对我们的自信印象深刻。
另一个重要步骤,就是培养对别人的体贴。
永远以他人为重,并把别人的利益放在自己的利益之前。
当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来,别人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。
然而,不管我们做什么事,绝对不要说闲言闲语。
最重要的是,要做自己,不要当虚伪的人。
只有对人真诚又尊重时,才能赢得他人的尊敬。
如果我们能做到以上几点,我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。
Strive for balance in life 努力保持生活的平衡by Brain Dyson 布莱恩•戴森(可口可乐公司总裁)Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them----work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop one it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls—family, health, friends, and spirit—are made of glass. If you drop one of those, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they were your life, for without them, life is meaningless.Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time you live ALL the days of your life.Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid to admit that you are lethan perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.Don’t be afraid to encourage risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is gift…… that’s why we call it the present.想象生命是一种往空中抛五个球的游戏,你把这五个球分别取名为:工作、家庭、朋友和心灵,而且你要努力不让它们落地。
你很快会了解到工作是一个橡皮球,如果你让它落地了,它还是会反弹起来。
但是,家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。
如果你让它们掉到地上,它们将会不可避免地遭到磨损,留下印记、划痕,摔破甚至碎落一地。
它们将永远不会跟以前一样。
你必须了解这个道理,并且努力保持生活的平衡。
但要怎么才做得到呢?不要拿自己和他人比较而贬低自己的价值。
正是因为我们彼此不同,所以每个人才很特别。
不要因为别人看重哪些东西而把它们设定为自己的目标。
只有你才知道什么最适合自己。
不要将最亲密的人视为理所当然。
好好珍惜他们,就像是你的生命一样,因为没有他们,生命将失去意义。
不要让你的生命总在留恋过去或是遥想未来中流逝。
如果你活在每个当下,你就活出了人生的精彩。
当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。
只要你不放弃,万事皆有可能。
不要害怕承认你并非完美。
我们正是藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地联系在一起。
不要害怕遇到危险。
我们正是在冒险中学会勇敢的。
不要以真爱难求为借口而紧闭心扉。
找到爱最快的方法就是给予你的爱;失去爱最快的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放;维系爱最好的方法就是给爱一双翅膀。
不要匆忙地走完你的一生,以至于忘了自己到过哪里,要往哪里去。
不要害怕学习。
知识不会成为负担,是你可以轻松携带的珍宝。
不要漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或信口开河。
时间与话语都是收不回来的。
生活不是一场赛跑,而是每一步都需要体味的旅程。
昨天已成历史,明天还未可知,而今天则是一份礼物:那就是我们为什么称它为“当下”(译注:此处是双关语present的另一个意思是“礼物”)的原因。

第:HelloEveryone.The United States is a sport-loving nation. The most popular sports are baseball ,football and basketball.Now ,I will introduce Baskenball in American to you.Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americansprefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly. 第二篇Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language. About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me. While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails,but one who never quits.” I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition! As it turned out, my dear old professor was right. Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference! Thank you. 战胜恐惧 尊敬的评各位来宾,女士生们,我很荣幸在这个美妙的星期六早上来到这里,与你们分享我生命中一段特别的经历。
大概一年半以前,我参加了生平第一次演讲比赛。
站在麦克风前,面对观众们期待的眼神,我竟紧张的说不出话来。
那一刻,我是多么无助啊
我对于英语的挚爱从未改变,但却从此失去了面对公众演讲的勇气。
当老教授鼓励我参加希望英语风采大赛时,我拒绝了。
他直视我的眼睛,说了一番令我终身难忘的话。
“你瞧,”他说,“我们都有自己的恐惧。
你可能会在一场篮球比赛中扭脚,并从此害怕再打球。
你只能用行动去克服自己的恐惧,逃避是没有用的。
生活中的成功者往往是永不放弃的人。
” 我花了一整天时间思考他的话。
然后,我做出了一个勇敢而明智的决定: 我要参加中央电视台第五届“希望之星”英语风采大赛
老教授是对的。
我发挥出了自己的水平,一路杀进了全国总决赛。
此时此刻,当我再一次站在了麦克风前,仍然心跳不止,但更重要的是,我终于能够勇敢地面对我的恐惧了,而这已足够了。
求一篇题为“追逐梦想,把握未来”的英语演讲稿。
不要太长 ,三分钟的时间,要有翻译, 多谢啦
My DreamEveryone has a lot of dreams. Some people want to be rich, dreaming of becoming millionaires overnight. Others want to be famous, dreaming of suddenly jumping to great fame. I have a lot of dreams,too. When I was a young girl, I dreamed of becoming a scientist like Hua Luogen in future.However, I knew very well that I could not succeed without painstaking efforts. So I studied hard in the middle school and college in order to attain my goal.After graduating from college, I found a job as a teacher.Although I was very busy with teaching, I never gave up my goal. I read a lot of books to get more knowledge. I made experiments to practise and apply what I had learnt from the books. Sometimes, I was so deeply indulged in my research that I forgot my meals and time. Now I have made great progress. Several of my research papers have been published. The methods proposed in my papers have been proven to be valuable for the solution of some problems. I am very happy.The ladder of becoming a scientist is still far ahead, but I have climbed the first rung anyway. 每个人都有很多的梦想。
有些人想要有钱,梦想成为百万富翁过夜。
别人想要出名,梦想着突然跳跃到很高的声誉。
我有很多梦想,也是。
当我还是个小女孩的时候,我梦想成为一名科学家像华罗庚,在未来的。
然而,我知道得很清楚,我不可能取得成功的艰苦的努力。
所以我努力学习在中学和大学为了达到了我的目标。
大学毕业后,我找到了一份当老师的工作。
虽然我非常忙碌和在教学过程中,我从来没有放弃我的目标。
我读了很多书,获得更多的知识。
我做了实验来练习和运用我所学过的书。
有时,我是那么深深沉迷在我的研究,我忘了我的饭和时间。
现在我有了很大的进步。
我的几位研究论文发表。
在我的论文中提出的方法都已经被证明是有价值的解决一些问题。
我很高兴。
梯子要成为一名科学家仍遥遥领先,但我已经爬上了第一响吧。
美国励志人物大学演讲稿中英文对照版,有哪些
Madam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today's graduates, 尊敬的Faust校长,哈佛集团的各位成员,监管理事会的各位理事,各位老师,各位家长,各位朋友,以及最重要的各位毕业生同学, Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you. 感谢你们,让我有机会同你们一起分享这个美妙的日子。
I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not a billionaire, but at least I am a nerd. 我不太肯定,自己够得上哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲人这样的殊荣。
去年登上这个讲台的是,英国亿万身家的小说家J.K. Rowling女士,她最早是一个古典文学的学生。
前年站在这里的是比尔•盖茨先生,他是一个超级富翁、一个慈善家和电脑高手。
今年很遗憾,你们的演讲人是我,虽然我不是很有钱,但是至少我也算一个高手。
I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to me than you might care to imagine. You see, I was the academic black sheep of my family. My older brother has an M.D.\\\/Ph.D. from MIT and Harvard while my younger brother has a law degree from Harvard. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would be pleased. Not so. When I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, That's nice, but when are you going to visit me next. Now, as the last brother with a degree from Harvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied. 我很感激哈佛大学给我荣誉学位,这对我很重要,也许比你们会想到的还要重要。
要知道,在学术上,我是我们家的不肖之子。
我的哥哥在麻省理工学院得到医学博士,在哈佛大学得到哲学博士;我的弟弟在哈佛大学得到一个法律学位。
我本人得到诺贝尔奖的时候,我想我的妈妈会高兴。
但是,我错了。
消息公布的那天早上,我给她打电话,她听了只说:这是好消息,不过我想知道,你下次什么时候来看我
如今在我们兄弟当中,我最终也拿到了哈佛学位,我想这一次,她会感到满意。
Another difficulty with giving a Harvard commencement address is that some of you may disapprove of the fact that I have borrowed material from previous speeches. I ask that you forgive me for two reasons. 在哈佛大学毕业典礼上发表演讲,还有一个难处,那就是你们中有些人可能有意见,不喜欢我重复前人演讲中说过的话。
我要求你们谅解我,因为两个理由。
First, in order to have impact, it is important to deliver the same message more than once. In science, it is important to be the first person to make a discovery, but it is even more important to be the last person to make that discovery. 首先,为了产生影响力,很重要的方法就是重复传递同样的信息。
在科学中,第一个发现者是重要的,但是在得到公认前,最后一个将这个发现重复做出来的人也许更重要。
Second, authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who graduated from Harvard at the age of 18, noted All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients. Picasso declared Good artists borrow. Great artists steal. Why should commencement speakers be held to a higher standard? 其次,一个借鉴他人的作者,正走在一条前人开辟的最佳道路上。
哈佛大学毕业生、诗人爱默生曾经写下:古人把我最好的一些思想都偷走了。
画家毕加索宣称优秀的艺术家借鉴,伟大的艺术家偷窃。
那么为什么毕业典礼的演说者,就不适用同样的标准呢
I also want to point out the irony of speaking to graduates of an institution that would have rejected me, had I the chutzpah to apply. I am married to Dean Jean, the former dean of admissions at Stanford. She assures me that she would have rejected me, if given the chance. When I showed her a draft of this speech, she objected strongly to my use of the word rejected. She never rejected applicants; her letters stated that we are unable to offer you admission. I have difficulty understanding the difference. After all, deans of admissions of highly selective schools are in reality, deans of rejection. Clearly, I have a lot to learn about marketing. 我还要指出一点,向哈佛毕业生发表演说,对我来说是有讽刺意味的,因为如果当年我斗胆向哈佛大学递交入学申请,一定会被拒绝。
我的妻子Jean当过斯坦福大学的招生主任,她向我保证,如果当年我申请斯坦福大学,她会拒绝我。
我把这篇演讲的草稿给她过目,她强烈反对我使用拒绝这个词,她从来不拒绝任何申请者。
在拒绝信中,她总是写:我们无法提供你入学机会。
我分不清两者到底有何差别。
在我看来,那些大热门学校的招生主任与其称为准许你入学的主任,还不如称为拒绝你入学的主任。
很显然,我需要好好学学怎么来推销自己。
My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. So, here comes the advice. First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them. Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you. Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don't bargain for the last, little advantage. Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that credit is not a conserved quantity. In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit. 毕业典礼演讲都遵循古典奏鸣曲的结构,我的演讲也不例外。
刚才是第一乐章----轻快的闲谈。
接下来的第二乐章是送上门的忠告。
这样的忠告很少被重视,几乎注定被忘记,永远不会被实践。
但是,就像王尔德说的:对于忠告,你所能做的,就是把它送给别人,因为它对你没有任何用处。
所以,下面就是我的忠告。
第一,取得成就的时候,不要忘记前人。
要感谢你的父母和支持你的朋友,要感谢那些启发过你的教授,尤其要感谢那些上不好课的教授,因为他们迫使你自学。
从长远看,自学能力是优秀的文理教育中必不可少的,将成为你成功的关键。
你还要去拥抱你的同学,感谢他们同你进行过的许多次彻夜长谈,这为你的教育带来了无法衡量的价值。
当然,你还要感谢哈佛大学。
不过即使你忘了这一点,校友会也会来提醒你。
第二,在你们未来的人生中,做一个慷慨大方的人。
在任何谈判中,都把最后一点点利益留给对方。
不要把桌上的钱都拿走。
在合作中,要牢记荣誉不是一个守恒的量。
成功合作的任何一方,都应获得全部荣誉的90%。
Jimmy Stewart, as Elwood P. Dowd in the movie Harvey got it exactly right. He said: Years ago my mother used to say to me, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be ... she always used to call me Elwood ... in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. ... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me on that. 电影《Harvey》中,Jimmy Stewart扮演的角色Elwood P. Dowd,就完全理解这一点。
他说:多年前,母亲曾经对我说,'Elwood,活在这个世界上,你要么做一个聪明人,要么做一个好人。
'我做聪明人,已经做了好多年了。
......但是,我推荐你们做好人。
你们可以引用我这句话。
My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don't have a passion, don't be satisfied until you find one. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics. 我的第三个忠告是,当你开始生活的新阶段时,请跟随你的爱好。
如果你没有爱好,就去找,找不到就不罢休。
生命太短暂,如果想有所成,你必须对某样东西倾注你的深情。
我在你们这个年龄,是超级的一根筋,我的目标就是非成为物理学家不可。
本科毕业后,我在加州大学伯克利分校又待了8年,读完了研究生,做完了博士后,然后去贝尔实验室待了9年。
在这些年中,我关注的中心和职业上的全部乐趣,都来自物理学。
Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won't be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made. 我还有最后一个忠告,就是说兴趣爱好固然重要,但是你不应该只考虑兴趣爱好。
当你白发苍苍、垂垂老矣、回首人生时,你需要为自己做过的事感到自豪。
你的物质生活和得到的承认,都不会产生自豪。
只有那些你出手相助、被你改变过的人和事,才会让你产生自豪。
After nine years at Bell labs, I decided to leave that warm, cozy ivory tower for what I considered to be the real world, a university. Bell Labs, to quote what was said about Mary Poppins, was practically perfect in every way, but I wanted to leave behind something more than scientific articles. I wanted to teach and give birth to my own set of scientific children. 在贝尔实验室待了9年后,我决定离开这个温暖舒适的象牙塔,走进我眼中的真实世界----大学。
我对贝尔实验室的看法,就像别人形容电影Mary Poppins的话,实际上完美无缺。
但是,我想为世界留下更多的东西,不只是科学论文。
我要去教书,培育我自己在科学上的后代。
Ted Geballe, a friend and distinguished colleague of mine at Stanford, who also went from Berkeley to Bell Labs to Stanford years earlier, described our motives best: 我在斯坦福大学有一个好友兼杰出同事Ted Geballe。
他也是从伯克利分校去了贝尔实验室,几年前又离开贝尔实验室去了斯坦福大学。
他对我们的动机做出了最佳描述: The best part of working at a university is the students. They come in fresh, enthusiastic, open to ideas, unscarred by the battles of life. They don't realize it, but they're the recipients of the best our society can offer. If a mind is ever free to be creative, that's the time. They come in believing textbooks are authoritative, but eventually they figure out that textbooks and professors don't know everything, and then they start to think on their own. Then, I begin learning from them. 在大学工作,最大的优点就是学生。
他们生机勃勃,充满热情,思想自由,还没被生活的重压改变。
虽然他们自己没有意识到,但是他们是这个社会中你能找到的最佳受众。
如果生命中曾经有过思想自由和充满创造力的时期,那么那个时期就是你在读大学。
进校时,学生们对课本上的一字一句毫不怀疑,渐渐地,他们发现课本和教授并不是无所不知的,于是他们开始独立思考。
从那时起,就是我开始向他们学习了。
My students, post doctoral fellows, and the young researchers who worked with me at Bell Labs, Stanford, and Berkeley have been extraordinary. Over 30 former group members are now professors, many at the best research institutions in the world, including Harvard. I have learned much from them. Even now, in rare moments on weekends, the remaining members of my biophysics group meet with me in the ether world of cyberspace. 我教过的学生、带过的博士后、合作过的年轻同事,都非常优秀。
他们中有30多人,现在已经是教授了。
他们所在的研究机构有不少是全世界第一流的,其中就包括哈佛大学。
我从他们身上学到了很多东西。
即使现在,我偶尔还会周末上网,向现在还从事生物物理学研究的学生请教。
I began teaching with the idea of giving back; I received more than I gave. This brings me to the final movement of this speech. It begins with a story about an extraordinary scientific discovery and a new dilemma that it poses. It's a call to arms and about making a difference. 我怀着回报社会的想法,开始了教学生涯。
我的一生中,得到的多于我付出的,所以我要回报社会。
这就引出了这次演讲的最后一个乐章。
