名校勵志英語演講 第49期:拯救世界 拯救兒童
I often tell Shmuley that in soul years I'm sure that I'mat least 80 – and tonight I even walk like I'm 80! Soplease harken to my message, because what I have totell you tonight can bring healing to humanity andhealing to our planet.
我常對施慕禮說我的心理年齡肯定至少有80了——今晚，我走路的樣子甚至像一個80歲的老人。那么就請大家認(rèn)真聽我說，因?yàn)榻裢砦乙獙Υ蠹抑v的可以救贖人性，拯救地球!
Through the grace of God, I have been fortunate to have achieved many of my artistic andprofessional aspirations realized early in my lifetime. But these, friends are accomplishments, andaccomplishments alone are not synonymous with who I am. Indeed, the cheery five-year-old whobelted out Rockin' Robin and Ben to adoring crowds was not indicative of the boy behind the smile.
多虧上帝的恩典，我有幸在我人生的早期就已實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己的大部分藝術(shù)和職業(yè)抱負(fù)。但，朋友們，這些只是我的成就，成就本身并不構(gòu)成我這個人。事實(shí)上，在崇拜者面前活潑快樂地表演 Rockin' Robin 和 Ben 的五歲小男孩在舞臺下不一定也同樣快樂。
Tonight, I come before you less as an icon of pop (whatever that means anyway), and more as anicon of a generation, a generation that no longer knows what it means to be children.
今晚，我不是以一個流行音樂偶像的身份出現(xiàn)在大家面前(不管那意味著什么)，而是作為一代人的代表出現(xiàn)，這一代人不再了解作為孩子意為著什么。
All of us are products of our childhood. But I am the product of a lack of a childhood, an absence ofthat precious and wondrous age when we frolic playfully without a care in the world, basking in theadoration of parents and relatives, where our biggest concern is studying for that big spelling testcome Monday morning.
大家都有過童年，而我卻缺少童年，缺少那些寶貴的美妙的可以無憂無慮嬉戲玩耍的時光，那些日子我們本該愜意地沉浸在父母及親人的疼愛中，那時我們最擔(dān)心的是為星期一早上重要的拼寫考試做準(zhǔn)備。
Those of you who are familiar with the Jackson Five know that I began performing at the tenderage of five and that ever since then, I haven't stopped dancing or singing.
熟悉杰克遜五人組合的朋友都知道我5歲時就開始表演，而且從那以后，我就再也沒有停止過跳舞唱歌。毫無疑問，表演和音樂創(chuàng)作是我最大的樂趣。
