名校励志英语演讲 第3期:给大学毕业生的几个忠告
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。
[00:04.11]The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks.
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。
[00:08.15]This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed.
这样的忠告很少被重视，几乎注定被忘记，永远不会被实践。
[00:16.39]As Oscar Wilde said, “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on.
但是，就像奥斯卡·王尔德说的：“对于忠告，你听能做的，就是把它送给别人，
[00:20.52]It is never of any use to oneself.”So, here comes the advice.
因为它对你没有任何用处。”所以，下面是我的忠告。
[00:27.14]First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible.
第一，每次庆祝你取得成就的时候，不要忘记所有助你一臂之力的人。
[00:32.30]Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational,
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，
[00:37.27]and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself.
尤其是要感谢那些演讲拙劣的教授，因为他们迫使你自学。
[00:46.08]Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success.
从长远看，自学能力是优秀的文科教育中必不可少的，将成为你成功的关键。
[00:55.11]To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them.
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。
[01:02.04]Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you.
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。
[01:12.50]Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don’t bargain for the last, little advantage.
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，
[01:21.17]Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that “credit” is not a conserved quantity.
不要把桌上的钱都拿走。在合作中，不要把荣誉留给自己。
[01:28.50]In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.
成功合作的任何一方，都应获得全部荣誉的90%。
