演讲稿

It's about not being satisfied with the latest achievement, the latest gold star, because the one thing I know about a body of work is that it's never finished. It's cumulative. It deepens and expands with each day that you give your best, each day that you give back and contribute to the life of your community and your nation.
这就要求我们不要满足于自己目前取得的成绩，不满足于刚刚获得的金星荣誉奖章，因为我知道这样的事业是永无止境的。它需要日积月累，随着你每日竭尽全力地回报祖国并为社会做贡献而深化、拓宽。
You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You're not even getting started, not by a long shot. And if you ever forget that, just look to history. Thomas Paine was a failed corset maker, a failed teacher and a failed tax collector before he made his mark on history with a little book called "Common Sense" that helped ignite a revolution.
你们也许会遇到挫折和失败，但这不意味着你们的工作已经结束，你们甚至还没有开始。如果你忘记这一点，就请回头看看历史。托马斯·潘恩曾经是一个失败的紧身衣裁缝，一个失败的老师，一个失败的税务员，但他最后却名垂青史，他的那本名叫《常识》的小书引发了一场革命。
Julia Childs didn't publish her first cookbook until she was almost 50. Colonel Sanders didn't open his first Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was in the 60s. Winston Churchill was dismissed as little more than a has-been who enjoyed Scotch a little bit too much before he took over his Prime Minister and saw Great Britain through its finest hour.
茱莉亚·查尔德知道将近50岁时才出版了她的第一部烹饪书。桑德斯上校直到60多岁才开办了第一家肯德基餐厅。温斯顿·丘吉尔（英国政治家及作家）在担任首相之前曾经遭罢免，只因为他有点过于偏爱苏格兰威士忌，并且输掉了达达尼尔海峡；接任首相后，他却带领英国步入了全盛时期。
No one thought a former football player stocking shelves at the local supermarket would return to the game he loved to become a Super Bowl MVP and then come here to Arizona and lead your Cardinals to their first Super Bowl. Your body of work is never done.
谁也没有想到，整天忙着给超市货架上货的前足球运动员会重返他喜爱的赛场，一举成为美国橄榄球超级杯大赛最佳选手，然后来到亚利桑那，带领你们的红雀队首次冲进超级杯。所以，你们的事业永无止境。
Each of them at one point in their life didn't have any title or much status to speak of, but they had passion; a commitment to following that passion wherever it would lead, and to working hard every step along the way.
他们中的每一个人，在生命中的某一时刻，都没有响亮的头衔和显赫的地位值得炫耀。但他们有激情，他们追随者这种激情，并在整个过程中努力走好每一步。
