【正文】 提醒正就讀于耶魯?shù)妮份穼W(xué)子，如果你們從耶魯順利畢業(yè)，你們也許可以當(dāng)上總統(tǒng)； 如果你們中途輟學(xué)，那么你們只能當(dāng)副總統(tǒng)了。我記得一位學(xué)科顧問對我選修如此專精的課程表示擔(dān)憂，他說我應(yīng)該選修英語。你們每個(gè)人都有獨(dú)特的天賦，你們擁有的這些天賦就是你們參與 競爭、實(shí)現(xiàn)人生價(jià)值的資 本，好好利用它們，與人分享它們，將它們轉(zhuǎn)化為推進(jìn)時(shí)代前進(jìn)的動力吧！人生是要讓我們 去生活、而不是用來浪費(fèi)的，只要肯爭上游，人人都可當(dāng)總統(tǒng)！這次我不僅回到母校，也是回到我的出生地，我就是在幾條街之外出生的。larry失敗的經(jīng)歷。蓋茨，這個(gè)行星上最富有的人——就目前而言——是個(gè)退學(xué)生，而你不是。你們已經(jīng)建立了能幫你沿這條路前進(jìn)的人際網(wǎng)。但，我沒有告訴你他在為誰工作，是吧？根據(jù)記載，他是研究生時(shí)輟的學(xué)，開化得稍晚了些。你們已經(jīng)被報(bào)銷，不予考慮了。你們因此成為與世界相聯(lián)通的全球公民。也許我對你們未來將會實(shí)現(xiàn)的人生價(jià)值和取得的事業(yè)成就過于樂觀了。在選戰(zhàn)的后半段，金融危機(jī)的影響擴(kuò)散開來，于是經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇與金融業(yè)改革也被提上日程，列入了這本已十分宏偉的計(jì)劃。為什么會這樣？請先讓我提出我的兩點(diǎn)看法，然后讓我們看看這與你們未來的政治生涯以及公民身份有什么聯(lián)系。導(dǎo)致這一變化的原因至少有兩點(diǎn)。我并不想在此事上加入個(gè)人偏見。在你們的學(xué)院里，你們明白了只有互相尊重、互相理解，并且有時(shí)犧牲個(gè)人訴求，才能構(gòu)建起一個(gè)和諧的集體。無論你們選擇了怎樣的道路，你們都可以為這個(gè)國家和世界做出貢獻(xiàn)，只要你們記住，政治決策過程不是用來為意識形態(tài)和個(gè)人利益服務(wù)的。its a great day for your wallet.[laughter] most important, congratulations to the class of those of you who received honors, awards, and distinctions, i say, well to the c students i say, you, too, can be president of the united states.[laughter] a yale degree is worth a lot, as i often remind dick remember him as a young scholar, a bright lad—[laughter]— a hard both put a lot of time in at the sterling library, in the reading room where they have those big leather couches.[laughter] we had a mutual wouldnt read aloud, and i wouldnt snore.[laughter] our course selections were different, as we followed our own path to academic was an english major and loved the loved history and pursued a diversified course of like to think of it as the academic road less traveled.[laughter] for example, i took a class that studied japanese , for the uninitiated, is a 15thcentury form of poetry, each poem having 17 is fully understood only by the zen i recall, one of my academic advisers was worried about my selection of such a specialized said i should focus on english.[laughter] i still hear that quite often.[laughter] but my critics dont realize, i dont make verbal gaffes。嘿，不如這樣，立刻把我剛剛說的話貼上twitter（笑聲）。你 們是被選定的一群，擔(dān)負(fù)重責(zé)大任；你們是最杰出、最聰明的人才；在座每個(gè)人都是美國和世界的希望之光。就像總有一天，你們會想不起該死的眼鏡放在哪里，或?qū)⒆哟蠛稹鞍涯窃撍赖囊魳忿D(zhuǎn)小聲點(diǎn)”。對于起伏不定的經(jīng)濟(jì)和種種混亂局勢的不樂觀，使我們逐漸忽略生活質(zhì)量的變化。三餐不繼的美國人愈來愈少，但你們是否知道，肥胖問題對本國一半的人口造成多大影響？無論我們在本地商場中能找到多少特價(jià)品，許多人仍被房租和日常生活開銷壓得喘不過氣來。任何人－雖然我不得不承認(rèn)，sam tsui確實(shí)紅得要命（笑聲）（歡呼聲）－現(xiàn)在，任何人都能享受眾所矚目的滋味，而成名期間，從安迪．沃荷所說的短短十五分鐘延長到十五個(gè)月，只要你愿意在鏡頭前做某些事?？磁_上圍繞著各位畢業(yè)生的我們，對每一屆畢業(yè)生都有相同的期待，希望你們能盡一己之力，使我們免于恐懼。這批漢堡原本預(yù)定出售給它州學(xué)校餐廳，所幸及時(shí)回收。前者總是緊追在我們身后、糾纏不休、令我們停滯不前；后者則激勵我們、帶給我們驚喜、刺激我們的創(chuàng)造力、驅(qū)使我們不斷地前進(jìn)。s a great day for you。t read aloud, and I wouldn39。m not sure I remembered to 。t realize I don39。s a great day for your wallet.(Laughter.)Most important, congratulations to the class of 2001.(Applause.)To those of you who received honors, awards, and distinctions, I say, well to the C students(applause)I say, you, too, can be President of the United States.(Laughter and applause.)A Yale degree is worth a lot, as I often remind Dick Cheney(laughter)who studied here, but left a little now we knowif you graduate from Yale, you bee you drop out, you get to be Vice President.(Laughter.)I appreciate so very much the chance to say a few words on this know Yale has a tradition of having no mencement alsoknow that you39。s a special privilege to receive this honorary was proud 33 years ago to receive my first Yale

buddies》（湯姆．漢克斯首次展露頭角的電視喜?。K遭停播（笑聲）。我不確定世界是否真的變得更糟；比起三十年前，不，比起十八年前，不，比起四年前（笑聲）。你們長大成人之前，各個(gè)世代肩上背負(fù)的重?fù)?dān)，現(xiàn)在輪到你們接手。好，然后－好，把這場演講配上音樂，也許加上幾張搞笑圖片，讓自己成為影片主角，放上網(wǎng)絡(luò)。就算沒發(fā)生，并不表示它遠(yuǎn)在天邊（笑聲）。為了克服狹隘主義，你們必須把耶魯賦予你們的道德力量發(fā)揚(yáng)光大，而這道德力量的緣起，就是為人民服務(wù)的黃金法則。如果你們將為解決這個(gè)國家的問題而奮斗，或者跨越國界，為解決全世界所面臨的諸如氣候變化、恐怖主義、核武擴(kuò)散等問題而奮斗，你們都必須明白，耶魯教育的成果，是為了幫助你們，在智力上與道義上，都取得超越個(gè)人利益的成功。）我只想指出，公共醫(yī)療事業(yè)的決策過程，如今早已被意識形態(tài)和集團(tuán)利益所扭曲和左右。當(dāng)然，大眾傳媒手段的興起可以通過對選民的教育而達(dá)到提高政治決策水平的目的。第二，美國的政客為了確保再次當(dāng)選，對手握重金的利益集團(tuán)過于看重，而對他們的行為到底會給普羅大眾帶來怎樣的利害卻漠不關(guān)心。我們出臺的復(fù)蘇計(jì)劃遠(yuǎn)沒有達(dá)到預(yù)期的效果，而中國采取的相應(yīng)措施比我們有效的多。假如你同意我的觀點(diǎn)，那么請?jiān)试S我提出一個(gè)問題，一個(gè)深植于耶魯之精神與傳統(tǒng)，以至于你們中的許多人都已經(jīng)把他看作與生俱來的問題，那就是，你將如何奉獻(xiàn)？你將如何把你在學(xué)院中為集體奉獻(xiàn)、在紐黑文為這座城市奉獻(xiàn)的精神，帶到你的生活之中，去改善你身邊每一個(gè)人的生活？這樣重要的一個(gè)問題，在現(xiàn)在這樣的時(shí)刻提出，正當(dāng)其時(shí)。你們心中想必對未來還有一些躊躇與顧慮。事實(shí)上，我是寄希望于眼下還沒有畢業(yè)的同學(xué)。太晚了，你們已經(jīng)吸收了太多東西，以為自己懂得太多。all

in a thousand see a thousand all, how can i, lawrence larry ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nations most prestigious institutions? 說實(shí)話，今天我站在這里，并沒有看到一千個(gè)畢業(yè)生的燦爛未來。退學(xué)吧，開始行動 graduates of yale university, i apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but i want you to do something for ，我很抱歉——如果你們不喜歡這樣的開場。對我而言，耶魯是我知 識的源泉，力量的源泉，令我極度驕傲的源泉。我在其他場合演講時(shí)，在語言表達(dá)上曾被人誤解過，我 的批評者不明白：我不是說錯(cuò)了字，我是在復(fù)誦古代俳句的完美格式與聲韻呢。不過，一些人，一些事至今讓我念念不忘。t wait as and God bless.(Applause.)END 布什在耶魯大學(xué)的演講我很榮幸能在這個(gè)場合發(fā)表演講。re the ones who keep Yale going after the mencements, after we have all gone our separate 39。t remember everything you did here.(Laughter.)That can be a good
