关于鼓励人学习的演讲稿
大家好! 今天我演讲的题目是：珍惜时间，努力学习 著名教育家曾接到一个青年人求教如何才能获得成功的电话，并约好了见面的时间和地点。
待那个青年人如约而至时，眼前的景象却令他颇感意外----大教育家的房间里竟然乱七八糟，狼藉一片。
没等青年人开口，就招呼道：“你看我这房间，太不整洁了，请你在门外等一分钟，我收拾一下你再进来吧。
”说着，他就关上了门。
一分钟后，又打开了房门，并热情地把青年人让进客厅。
这时，青年人的眼前展现出另一番景象——房间内的一切已变得井然有序。
可是，没等青年人把问题讲出来，班杰明就非常客气地说：“好吧，你可以走了。
”青年人一下子愣住了，既尴尬又非常遗憾地说：“可是，我，我还没向您请教呢。
”“这些，难道还不够吗
”班杰明一边扫视着自己的房间，一边微笑地说，“你进来已经有一分钟了。
”“一分钟
一分钟，”青年人若有所思地说，“噢，我懂了，您让我明白了一分钟的时间可以做许多事情，也可以改变许多事情的深刻道理。
”向班杰明道谢后，青年人开心地走了。
故事讲完了，很简单，却很耐人寻味。
正像故事里所说的那样“一分钟里，我们可以丢掉很多事，一分钟里，我们也可以完成很多事。
”一分钟看起来并不起眼，可是我们的人生就是这样由一个个一分钟组成，现在的一分钟很快就会成为过去，将来的一分钟也很快就会变成现在。
所以同学们，珍惜时间，就必须从珍惜你的每一分钟做起，从现在做起。
只有把握好你生命的每一分钟，你才能踏上成功之路，攀上理想之巅。
到达成功的彼岸。
“早岁哪知世事艰”，由于我们的生活环境过于舒适，有些同学就走向了生活的误区：抛开学习，恣意攀比，沉迷幻想，徘徊不前。
孰不知世界上最快又最慢，最长又最短，最平凡而又最珍贵，最易忽视又最易令人后悔的就是时间。
古今中外，凡是为人类做出杰出贡献的人，都是从把握今天起步的。
只有缺乏意志、毫无志向的人，才认为今天的事情没做完，明天还可以继续；也只有这样的人才会一生庸庸碌碌，一事无成。
同学们，我们在丰中这个知识花园里沐浴着时代的，享受着一流的学习环境，我们没有任何理由抛开学习而恣意攀比，没有任何理由沉迷于物质而徘徊不前。
努力学习，只争朝夕，这是我们义不容辞的义务和责任。
就让我们刻苦努力、不懈追求，在学习的道路上将一点一滴的知识积累，在人生的旅途中将一方一寸的风景珍藏，实现自己的理想，让生命放射出灿烂而耀眼的光芒
谢谢大家
关于中国文化的英文演讲稿不要太长
英文： We Are The World ,We Are The Future Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. We are young. “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question. To answer it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life. A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d like to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’s make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves. We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder. As what I said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. B

The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.” 中文： 世界是我们的，未来是我们的 一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。
”我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。
我们都是农夫。
如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。
如果我们的种子很差，有很多草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。
如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。
我们是年轻的。
“怎样度过青春?”这是个有意义的问题。
为了去回答它，我首先要问“从„青春‟这个词中你能理解到什么?” 青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。
青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，。
青春是生命的深泉在涌流. 一位诗人说“从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那里收藏”。
几天前，我有了一个听讲座的机会，从中我学到了很多东西。
现在，我想把这些与大家共享。
让我们伸出右手，我们可以看到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。
我在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢?我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。
好的，让我们一起握拳。
我们的未来在哪儿?我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿?告诉我!是的，它们就在我们的手中。
它们被我们自己掌握着。
我们所有人都希望未来能比过去更美好，但是未来能自己变得更好。
不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。
从过去来看，生活是艰苦的，但我们是更坚强。
我们知道我们不能选择感觉，但是我们能选择和它相关的东西。
失败并不意味着你不拥有成功，它只意味着你应该用另一种方式去做这件事。
失败并不意味着你应该放弃，只意味着你应该更加努力。
正如我在前面所说的“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。
”过去的已经过去，我们无力改变，但是未来却在我们前方。
相信“我们给了世界什么，世界也将给我们”。
并且从今天起，让我们一起做我们自己的主人，一起大声说出“世界是我们的，未来是我们的。
”
请给我一篇你自己写的特别特别能激励人上进心的演讲稿。
树远大理想，展青春风采理想，在我国古代也被称为志。
古人是很重视理想的，即使到了贫无立锥之地，也要恪守人穷志不穷的信念，坚持他们的理想。
古人为何如此重视理想呢
因为理想是沙漠中的绿洲，是黑夜里的灯光，是吹响生命的号角。
诗人流沙河曾经说过：理想是石，敲出星星之火；理想是火，点燃熄灭的灯；理想是灯，照亮夜行的路；理想是路，引你走向黎明。
从远古时代的盘古开天辟地到如今的知识爆炸、信息革命，多少年，多少代，多少志士仁人都有着崇高的理想。
但他们受到时代的限制，有许多人感到生不逢时，饮恨终生。
江洲司马，沦落天涯，泪湿青杉；东坡居士，赤壁岩下愤呼“人生如梦”陆放翁临终低吟“万事空”；秋瑾女士狱中咏叹“秋风秋雨愁煞人”……然而，那种令人诅咒的日子已经一去不复返了。
现在，我门的祖国已是“天公重抖擞，九州生气扬”的时代了。
今天，是昨天父辈们用蘸着鲜血的理想建成的；明天，更需要我们用蘸着汗水的理想去创造
过去，祖国在无数中华儿女的理想和信念上站立起来；将来，祖国更需要我们用开拓和进取是她富强
我们大家正处于风华正茂、年富力强的青春时期。
青春正是人生的春天、早晨的太阳，蓬蓬勃勃，灿烂火红，绚丽多彩。
青春是人生的黄金时代，充满活力，富于探索，勇于追求，敢于创造。
在青春的世界里，沙粒要变成珍珠，石头要化作黄金。
青春的魅力，应当使枯枝长出新叶，沙漠变成绿洲。
这才是青春的美，青春的快乐，青春的本分
从远古时代的盘古开天辟地到如今的知识爆炸、信息革命，多少年，多少代，多少志士仁人都有着崇高的理想。
但他们受到时代的限制，有许多人感到生不逢时，饮恨终生。
江洲司马，沦落天涯，泪湿青杉；东坡居士，赤壁岩下愤呼人生如梦陆放翁临终低吟万事空；秋瑾女士狱中咏叹秋风秋雨愁煞人……然而，那种令人扼腕叹息的日子已经一去不复返了。
现在，我们已经是处在天公重抖擞，九州生气扬的时代了。
今天，是昨天父辈们用蘸着鲜血的理想建成的；明天，更需要我们用蘸着汗水的理想去创造
同学们，我们是龙的传人，是华夏子孙，是五月的花海，我们应该用青春拥抱未来。
前方，是新世纪的曙光，是我们的用武之地。
我们正当青春年少，应该依照古人的雄心壮志努力学习，艰苦奋斗，用辛勤的汗水来浇灌灿烂的理想之花，用拼搏的双手去开拓祖国美好的未来。
大学英语演讲稿有关鼓励员工5分钟
大学英语演讲稿有关鼓励员工简简单单的就行,原创,我行.
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。
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。
首先我要讲一个了不起的科学发现，以及由此带来的新挑战。
它是一个战斗的号令，到了做出改变的时候了。
