名校勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)演講 第60期:拯救世界 拯救兒童

[00:00.29]My father was a managerial genius and my brothers and I owe our professional success, in no small measure, to the forceful way that he pushed us. 我的父親是個(gè)天才管理者，我和我的兄弟們事業(yè)上的每一步都源自于他對(duì)我們采取的強(qiáng)迫方式。 [00:12.20]He trained me as a showman and under his guidance I couldn't miss a step. 他訓(xùn)練我當(dāng)演員，在他的指導(dǎo)下，我一步都不允許出錯(cuò)。 [00:18.10]But what I really wanted was a Dad. I wanted a father who showed me love. 但我真正想要的只是一個(gè)名副其實(shí)的父親，一個(gè)能向我展示愛的父親。 [00:24.41]And my father never did that. He never said I love you while looking me straight in the eye, he never played a game with me. 然而，我的父親卻從未那樣做過(guò)，在他直視著我時(shí)從不說(shuō)愛我，他從未和我一起玩過(guò)游戲， [00:32.37]He never gave me a piggyback ride, he never threw a pillow at me, or a water balloon. 也從來(lái)沒(méi)有讓我騎在他的背上玩耍。他不會(huì)親昵地朝我扔枕頭或水球。 [00:39.29]But I remember once when I was about four years old, there was a little carnival and he picked me up and put me on a pony. 但我記得大約在我四歲那年的一個(gè)小的狂歡節(jié)，他把我抱起來(lái)放在小馬上。 [00:50.15]It was a tiny gesture, probably something he forgot five minutes later. 那只是一個(gè)很小的舉動(dòng)，或許他五分鐘就忘記了， [00:55.03]But because of that moment I have this special place in my heart for him. 但因?yàn)槟且豢?，他在我心里有了一個(gè)特別的位置。 [01:01.12]Because that's how kids are, the little things mean so much to them and for me, that one moment meant everything. 這就是孩子，很小的事情對(duì)他們意為著很多。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，那一刻意味著一切。 [01:10.50]I only experienced it that one time, but it made me feel really good, about him and the world. 我僅僅經(jīng)歷過(guò)一次，但那一次讓我對(duì)他和對(duì)世界的感覺(jué)都特別好！ [01:21.26]But now I am a father myself, and one day I was thinking about my own children, 現(xiàn)在我也當(dāng)爸爸了，有一天我正在想著我自己的孩子 [01:30.10]Prince and Paris and how I wanted them to think of me when they grow up. 普林斯和派瑞斯，想著我希望他們長(zhǎng)大后怎樣看我。
