[00:00.12]And really when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing. 当我回首这些往事的时候，我一点也不会改变。 [00:04.43]I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. 因为我发现，即使失去一切，最重要的是做真正的自己。 [00:12.57]And ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place. 最终，我来到了这里。 [00:16.21]I don't live in fear. I'm free. I have no secrets. 我不再恐惧，我感觉很自在，也不再有秘密。 [00:19.16]And I know I'll always be OK, because no matter what, I know who I am. 而且我知道一切都会好的，因为无论如何，我知道我是谁。 [00:23.40]So in conclusion, when I was younger I thought success was something different. 所以总结一下。我年轻时，对成功有着不同的定义。 [00:29.34]I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. 我的志向是长大后，我要出名，我要成为明星，我想拍电影。 [00:34.24]When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies, to quote the Pussycat Dolls. 我的愿望是长大后要周游世界、开名车、有一批流行乐团歌迷，引用“小野猫”。 [00:41.30]How many people thought it was "boobies", by the way? It's not, it's "groupies". 有多少人听成是“傻瓜”?不是那样的，是“流行乐团歌迷”之意。 [00:44.49]But my idea of success is different today. 但今天我对成功的定义变了。 [00:48.18]And as you grow, you'll realise the definition of success changes. 当你们长大后就会明白，对成功的定义是会改变的。 [00:50.57]For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. 你们中的许多人对成功的定义就是饮尽20杯龙舌兰烈酒。 [00:57.49]For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure; 在我看来，你们生活中最重要的事情就是要活得正直诚实，别屈从于同伴的压力， [01:03.35]to try to be something that you're not. 把自己变成本不是的那个人。 [01:05.33]To live your life as an honest and compassionate person; to contribute in some way. 要活得诚实，有怜悯心，要在某个方面有所贡献。 [01:10.33]So to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. 因此总结我的结论：追随热情，忠于自我。 [01:16.04]Never follow someone else's path, 永远不要追随别人的脚步， [01:17.32]unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. 除非你在森林里迷了路才能这么做，那时你真的该那样做。 [01:23.54]Don't give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. 别给人忠告，它们会给你带来麻烦。 [01:27.55]Don't take anyone's advice. 也别接受任何人的忠告。 [01:29.53]So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine. 那么我要给大家的忠告是，做真正的自己，一切都会顺利的。 [01:35.48]And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there's no need to worry. 我知道，在座的许多人都担心自己的前途，但不用担心。 [01:38.44]The economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine. 经济正在急速增长，就业市场极为广阔，地球也好得很。 [01:44.42]It's gonna be great. 一切都会好的。 [01:46.44]You've already survived a hurricane. What else can happen to you? 你们经历了飓风的洗礼，还有什么害怕的呢? [01:48.48]And as I mentioned before, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. 我之前说过，从最惨痛的经历中可以吸取最多的教训。 [01:52.29]And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview, like, "Is it above sea level?" 现在你们知道在你们的第一次面试中该问什么样的问题了吧?比如，公司高于海平面吗(新奥尔良地势低而被被淹)? [01:57.17]So to conclude my conclusion that I've previously concluded, in the common cement speech, 现在给我的演讲，“常见的水泥”，总结个结论， [02:06.41]I guess what I'm trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras. 我想说的是，人生就像一场狂欢节嘉年华， [02:10.13]But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, 但请展现你们的头脑，而非胸部。 [02:13.06]and if they like what they see, you'll have more beads than you know what to do with. 如果人家欣赏你的话，你就有更多的金银珠宝可以享用， [02:16.56]And you'll be drunk, most of the time. 而且你会有更多的机会喝醉。 [02:21.10]So the Tulane class of 2009, I say congratulations 因此，杜兰大学2009届的毕业生们，祝贺你们顺利毕业! [02:23.39]and if you don't remember a thing I said today, remember this: 如果你们不记得我今天说过的任何话，请记住这句， [02:26.25]you're gonna be Ok, dun-doom-doom-doom-doom, just dance. 一切都会好的，尽管跳舞吧!
