其余的都成了往事。演完《終結(jié)者3》之后,我便成了好萊塢片酬最高的影星。但外界的質(zhì)疑從未中斷過(guò)。我競(jìng)選州長(zhǎng)時(shí)還有人說(shuō),“阿諾德,你不會(huì)成功的,你永遠(yuǎn)當(dāng)不上加州州長(zhǎng)。你對(duì)政治了解多少?”而事實(shí)上,我對(duì)政治的了解絕不亞于加利福尼亞的其他人,我知道政府高高在上,與人民群眾相脫離,需要進(jìn)行改革。我沒(méi)把那些說(shuō)我不能成功的人的話(huà)放在心上,我依然參加了競(jìng)選。我相信自己的夢(mèng)想,其余的都已成明日黃花。我最終當(dāng)上了州長(zhǎng)。
So always it just carried me on, those dreams. So bodybuilding gave me the confidence,movies gave me the money, and public service and being a governor gave me a purpose largerthan myself. And that is the brief story of my dreams and a brief story of my early life, and howmy dreams made me successful.
因此,那些夢(mèng)想總引導(dǎo)著我不斷向前——健美運(yùn)動(dòng)給了我信心,拍攝電影給了我財(cái)富,而公共服務(wù)以及當(dāng)州長(zhǎng)讓我有了超越自身的更大的目標(biāo)。這就是關(guān)于我的夢(mèng)想和我的早期生活的簡(jiǎn)短故事,以及我的夢(mèng)想如何使我獲得了成功。
A person, of course, should not be stingy with their dreams. So I, of course, don't just thinkand dream about myself, but I also have dreams for you, and dreams for China. So let me justtalk a little bit about that. China's economy has become an engine of human progress, liftingmillions of people out of poverty. This is a moral and economic good for China and for the restof the world. I often read that China's economy is likely to become the largest in the world overthe next 50 years, and I think this is terrific. This does not mean, of course, that America willget poorer; it just means that China will get richer, and the United States will benefit fromChina's progress as much as the U.S. benefited from the rise of Western Europe after WorldWar Ⅱ.
當(dāng)然,一個(gè)人不能缺乏夢(mèng)想。而我當(dāng)然也不只是為自己著想,只是追隨自己的夢(mèng)想,我對(duì)你們、對(duì)中國(guó)也有夢(mèng)想。所以我想簡(jiǎn)單談一下這個(gè)問(wèn)題。中國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)已經(jīng)成為人類(lèi)進(jìn)步的動(dòng)力,讓千千萬(wàn)萬(wàn)的人們擺脫了貧困。這無(wú)論從道德上還是從經(jīng)濟(jì)上都讓中國(guó)和世界其他國(guó)家受益匪淺。我經(jīng)常讀到一些報(bào)道,說(shuō)中國(guó)在未來(lái)50年很可能成為世界最大經(jīng)濟(jì)體,我認(rèn)為這非常了不起。這并不是說(shuō),美國(guó)會(huì)變窮,這只是說(shuō)中國(guó)會(huì)更加富有,而美國(guó)也會(huì)從中國(guó)的進(jìn)步中獲益,就像二戰(zhàn)后美國(guó)從歐洲的崛起中獲益一樣。
