2017年斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)演講
美國(guó)斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮,邀請(qǐng)了艾美獎(jiǎng)得主、知名的歷史紀(jì)錄片導(dǎo)演肯伯恩斯(Ken Burns)演講,他在20多分鐘的演講中,他勉勵(lì)畢業(yè)生即便走出校園,依然要保持好奇心和熱情,永遠(yuǎn)熱愛(ài)科學(xué)與藝術(shù),要堅(jiān)持做個(gè)英雄,并且要生兒育女。
在演講中,他說(shuō):“堅(jiān)持熱愛(ài)科學(xué)與藝術(shù),尤其是藝術(shù)?茖W(xué)幫助我們保衛(wèi)國(guó)家,藝術(shù)使我們的國(guó)家值得保衛(wèi)。”
演講原文[中文]
本文是他的演講內(nèi)容摘譯。
現(xiàn)在,讓我對(duì)斯坦福大學(xué)的畢業(yè)生說(shuō)幾句肺腑之言。
1. 不要否定一個(gè)人。就像我否定某位候選人(暗指總統(tǒng)候選人川普)一樣。但可以否定一件事。
2. 保持好奇心,不要裝酷。每天都要喂養(yǎng)你的靈魂。也不要只執(zhí)著于某一專(zhuān)業(yè)。全能發(fā)展,你會(huì)更發(fā)展得更健康。不要把自己限制在書(shū)本堆里,那只是工具,是手段,但不是終點(diǎn)。
3. 尋找并追隨人生導(dǎo)師,并聽(tīng)他們的建議。已故劇院導(dǎo)演泰隆古瑟里(Tyrone Guthrie)曾說(shuō):“我們?cè)趯ふ掖蟮米屓撕ε碌狞c(diǎn)子!睋肀н@些新點(diǎn)子。咬下比你能吞下的更多的東西。
4. 旅行。不要泥足于一個(gè)地方。逛逛我們的國(guó)家公園,它們表面上的壯麗,也許會(huì)令你感到自我的渺小;但大自然高深莫測(cè)的內(nèi)涵,會(huì)令你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的偉大。你會(huì)受到啟發(fā),你的自我主義會(huì)消失,同時(shí)你的自我價(jià)值會(huì)提升。堅(jiān)持做個(gè)英雄。
5. 閱讀。時(shí)至今日,書(shū)本仍然是人類(lèi)制造的最偉大的工具——不是電視或智能手機(jī)。
6. 生兒育女,這是在你生命中所能發(fā)生最美好的一件事。意味著你有更重要的人需要去擔(dān)心。我是說(shuō)真正的擔(dān)心、真正為除了你自己以外的人而擔(dān)心。這令人解放和振奮。我是說(shuō)真的,不信去問(wèn)問(wèn)你的父母。
7. 不要失去你的熱情!盁崆椤边@個(gè)英文字源自古希臘文,其字面的意義就是“上帝在我們之中”。
8. 報(bào)效你的國(guó)家。提醒你的政府:真正的危機(jī)會(huì)持續(xù)不斷地臨到這塊我們所愛(ài)的土地上。
9. 堅(jiān)持熱愛(ài)科學(xué)與藝術(shù),尤其是藝術(shù)?茖W(xué)幫助我們捍衛(wèi)國(guó)家,藝術(shù)使我們的國(guó)家值得捍衛(wèi)。
10. 永遠(yuǎn)相信。在我為我的第一部紀(jì)錄片《布魯克林大橋》采訪(fǎng)阿瑟米勒(Arthur Miller,已故劇作家,瑪麗蓮夢(mèng)露前夫)時(shí),他告訴我:“永遠(yuǎn)要相信你也能做出些美麗的東西流傳于世!
祝你們好運(yùn),一帆風(fēng)順。
英文演講原文
Let me speak directly to the graduating class. Watch out. Here comes the advice.
Try not to make the other wrong, as I just did with that “presumptive” nominee. Be for something.
Be curious, not cool. Feed your soul, too. Every day.
Remember, insecurity makes liars of us all. Not just presidential candidates.
Don’t confuse success with excellence. The poet Robert Penn Warren once told me that “careerism is death.”
Do not descend too deeply into specialism either. Educate all of your parts. You will be healthier.
Free yourselves from the limitations of the binary world. It is just a tool. A means, not an end.
Seek out – and have – mentors. Listen to them. The late theatrical director Tyrone Guthrie once said, “We are looking for ideas large enough to be afraid of again.” Embrace those new ideas. Bite off more than you can chew.
Travel. Do not get stuck in one place. Visit our national parks. Their sheer majesty may remind you of your own “atomic insignificance,” as one observer noted, but in the inscrutable ways of Nature, you will feel larger, inspirited, just as the egotist in our midst is diminished by his or her self-regard.
Insist on heroes. And be one.
Read. The book is still the greatest manmade machine of all – not the car, not the TV, not the smartphone.
Make babies. One of the greatest things that will happen to you is that you will have to worry – I mean really worry – about someone other than yourself. It is liberating and exhilarating. I promise. Ask your parents.
Do not lose your enthusiasm. In its Greek etymology, the word enthusiasm means simply, “God in us.”
Serve your country. Insist that we fight the right wars. Convince your government, as Lincoln knew, that the real threat always and still comes from within this favored land. Governments always forget that.
Insist that we support science and the arts, especially the arts. They have nothing to do with the actual defense of our country – they just make our country worth defending.
Believe, as Arthur Miller told me in an interview for my very first film on the Brooklyn Bridge, “believe, that maybe you too could add something that would last and be beautiful.”
And vote. You indelibly underscore your citizenship – and our connection with each other – when you do.
Good luck. And Godspeed.
