演讲文本

And not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness 8

而不是因爱好或追求卓越所做出的职业选择 不过是日后苦恼的根源 八

Nobody likes to fail but failure is an essential part of life and of learning If your uniform isn't dirty, you haven't been in the game Number 9

没人喜欢失败 但失败是生活和学习中不可或缺的部分 如果衣服都没弄脏 那你显然是根本没参与进比赛 九

I spoke earlier about definitions of personal success in an unpredictable world I hope that as you develop your own definition of success, as you'll be able to do so I hope that you will be able to do it with a close companion on your journey

之前我讲了不可预知世界中的个人成功定义 我希望你们在确立自身成功定义的过程中 能够找到一位人生旅途中的亲密伴侣

In making that choice, remember that physical beauty is evolution's way of assuring us that the other person doesn't have too many intestinal parasites

在做出这个选择时请记住 外表之美只不过是人类进化过程中 帮助我们确定对方体内是否有太多肠道寄生虫的方式

Don't get me wrong, I am all for beauty, romance, and sexual attraction where would Hollywood and Madison Avenue be without them? But while important, those are not the only things to look for in a partner

别误解我的意思 我支持美丽 浪漫和性感 要不然好莱坞和麦迪逊大道如何繁荣至今 虽然这些也很重要 但它们不是寻找伴侣的唯一标准

The two of you will have a long trip together, I hope and you will need each other's support and sympathy more times than you can count Speaking as somebody who has been happily married for 35 years

两个人在一起 会有漫长的人生旅途要走 需要相互支持和慰藉 作为一个经历了35年幸福婚姻生活的人

I can't imagine any choice more consequential for a lifelong journey than the choice of a traveling companion Number 10

比起旅行伴侣 我再也想不到任何对人生旅途 影响如此重大的决定了 十

Call your mom and dad once in a while A time will come when you will want your own grown-up, busy, hyper-successful children to call you

有时间多给父母打电话 你也会有那么一天 希望长大 繁忙 成功的孩子们给你打电话

Also, remember who paid your tuition to Princeton Well, those are my 10 suggestions

而且你们要记住 是谁为你们付了普林斯顿的学费 好了 这就是我的十条建议

They're probably worth exactly what you paid for them But they come from someone who shares your affection for this great institution and who wishes you the best for the future

也许你们觉得这些建议的价值 就如同花在它们上面的成本一样 一文不值 但它们来自于同你们一样 对这所大学具有深厚感情 并且祝愿你们未来好运的人

Congratulations, graduates Give 'em hell

恭喜 毕业生们 给他们好看
