名校励志英语演讲 第81期:追随自己的心声,你们一定会成功

[00:01.04]"Uh, you. The show is about you, sir." "唔，您啊。这期节目是关于您的啊，先生。" [00:06.39]Nelson Mandela was so humble that being on the show for a whole hour was not something he expected. 节目进行的整整一个小时时间，纳尔逊都表现得非常谦虚，完全不是制片人原来所料想的那样。 [00:15.05]"How can such a great man be so humble," I thought. 我当时想，“这么伟大的人物怎么能如此谦逊呢？” [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. 毕业生们，如果你们能在接下来的生活中又纳尔逊·曼德拉的一点谦逊，你们定会大有作为。 [00:29.49]When I was eight years old, I was at church one day...and a stranger came to me... 我记得我八岁的时候，有一天我去教堂，一个陌生人向我走来。 [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. 那天恰逢一个名叫约翰·J·胡克的人为竞选执行长官在教堂举行活动。 [00:46.57]And afterwards, outside as we were leaving the church, his wife, who was then a stranger, 后来，我们走出教堂的时候，他妻子迪斯·胡克看见我站在那儿。 [00:52.37]her name was Tish Hooker, a beautiful woman with blonde hair, classic cheekbones, flawless skin, saw me standing there. 她一头金发，颧骨完美、皮肤无暇，当时对我们来说她还是个陌生人。 [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. 你们要明白当时的我就是一个小小的黑人女孩，当然我们那时候不说自己是黑人。 [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, 实际上，我们被叫做黑种人、黑鬼，但不管怎样，我就是个没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·胡克径直走向我，就好像知道我想听她说点什么一样。 [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." 她对我说了只有南方女人才那样说的话，她说：“你知道吗，你像小斑点狗一样漂亮可爱。” [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点狗，她又说：“你有着最漂亮的撅撅嘴。”
