偶像勵(lì)志英語演講 第117期:直面恐懼(4)
Ten years ago, we busied ourselves with tribute stuff in building with the importance thencame 911. In 1991, riches were created in new businesses that never existed, then economicballon burst. In 81, I had a great job on TV. And in 82, Bosom Buddy was cancelled. In 71,color TV in more living rooms that every showed young Americans still fighting in combat withVietnam in 61-67 like it's being live in the around the world for the very first time. But thoseimages were of the building of the Berlin wall.
十年前，正當(dāng)我們汲汲營(yíng)營(yíng)于人生大小事的時(shí)候，發(fā)生了“9·11”事件;一九九一年，正當(dāng)各種新興行業(yè)創(chuàng)造出大筆財(cái)富，美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)卻陷入了衰退;一九八一年，我當(dāng)上了電視影集的主角，但影集卻在隔年停播;一九七一年，彩色電視機(jī)逐漸普及，但美國(guó)人從電視上看到的，卻是美軍陷入1961-1967年間的越戰(zhàn)，就如同電視直播一樣。但是那些形象是柏林墻的一部分。

現(xiàn)在這十年也呈現(xiàn)出同樣的“ying, yang tang”，“ying, yang tang”，我準(zhǔn)備為這個(gè)申請(qǐng)湯姆·漢克斯的版權(quán)。在2011年的畢業(yè)日上他們呈現(xiàn)的是相同的“ying, yang tang”。我們有各種網(wǎng)絡(luò)通訊技術(shù)，可以在地球另一端掀起革命，但也可以在國(guó)內(nèi)制造出充滿仇恨的各種部落;食不果腹的美國(guó)人愈來愈少，卻有一半的人口過胖;不管我們?cè)谑袌?chǎng)上找到多少實(shí)惠的東西，許多人依然要掙扎著去為房租和公用事業(yè)設(shè)備付費(fèi)。我們的國(guó)家不再健康，甚至有點(diǎn)混亂，上個(gè)世紀(jì)把大部分時(shí)間都用在到處樹敵上，跨入新世紀(jì)的十一年來，我們的軍隊(duì)卻卷入了好幾場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)事。購(gòu)買電力設(shè)備和藝術(shù)品，就像點(diǎn)擊鼠標(biāo)一樣簡(jiǎn)單，上課只需花幾美元，這意味著沒有任何保障來維持你想要選擇的謀生手段。
