名校励志英语演讲 第88期:如何实现你的梦想

[00:00.29]So, thirty-one years ago today, I drove from Madison, Wisconsin, to Los Angeles, California. 31年前的今天，我驾车从威斯康辛大学麦迪逊分校驶往加利福利亚州的洛杉矶。 [00:07.45]On the way, I passed Camp Randall, where my college graduation ceremony was in progress. 途径兰德尔体育场，当时我们学院的毕业典礼正在那儿举行。 [00:14.59]I thought about going to the ceremony, but it meant I would've arrived in Hollywood one day later, 我曾想过去参加毕业典礼，但那就意为着我会迟到一天到好莱坞。 [00:21.37]and at the time I just didn't see the point. I wanted to get there. 当时，我不知道什么是重点，我只是想到好莱坞去。 [00:27.24]Gertrude Stein once said about Hollywood, "When you get there, there is no 'there' there." That's true. 格特鲁格·斯坦因曾经这样形容好莱坞，“当你到了那儿的时候，在那里没有‘那里’。”她形容非常确切。 [00:36.04]However, there will be a swimming pool and tennis court. 但是，那里将会有游泳池和网球场。 [00:40.19]In the end, though, it's probably not enough to justify a life's journey. 尽管这最后或许不足以证明生命的旅程是否正当。 [00:46.53]Getting there, particularly in show business, is tough enough. 在那里，特别是在娱乐行业闯荡是非常艰难的。 [00:52.13]You need a combination of talent, ambition, luck and a willingness to tell actors how beautiful they look today. 你要有才华、野心以及运气，并且还要能心甘情愿地告诉演员们他们今天看上去是多么美丽。 [01:00.03]In retrospect, getting there was the easy part. Finding a "there" there is much harder. 回想过去，到达那里相对比较简单，而在这里寻找立足之地就比较困难了。 [01:09.06]So today, before you get into your cars and race off to the rest of your lives, I want to give you some advice on how to get there. 因此，今天在你们坐在车里准备驶往未来时，我想给你们提几点建议，告诉你们如何实现自己的梦想。 [01:18.39]And I want to help make sure that when you get there, you find a "there" there. 我想确保你们到达那里的时候，可以找到自己的目标，实现自己的梦想。 [01:24.37]To that end, I will give you my five rules to think about, quickly forget, but years from now kick yourself for not having listened to. 为此，我想告诉你们我的5条规则，供你们思考，以便能尽快实现梦想。数年之后，你们懊悔没有认真听我讲，那就只能怪你们自己了。
