名校勵志英語演講 第70期:做真正的自己

[00:00.01]And my character would come out at the same time, and it wasn't to make a political statement, 同時也要將我真實的個性展示出來，不是為了政治， [00:03.04]it wasn't to do anything other than to free myself up from this heaviness that I was carrying around, 也不是為了其它原因，只是要把我從背負已久的沉重的枷鎖中解脫出來。 [00:07.28]and I just wanted to be honest. And I thought, "What's the worst that could happen? I can lose my career". I did. 我只是想要誠實。我想不會有更慘的事情了。失去演繹事業(yè)嗎？ [00:14.27]I lost my career. The show was cancelled after six years, without even telling me, I read it in the paper. 結果我真的失去了我的演藝事業(yè)。我的節(jié)目在做了六年后，沒有告訴我就停播了。我是看了報紙才知道的。 [00:21.55]The phone didn't ring for three years. I had no offers. Nobody wanted to touch me at all. 家里的電話三年沒有響過，沒人想讓我做節(jié)目。沒人愿意碰我。 [00:29.43]Yet, I was getting letters from kids that almost committed suicide, but didn't, because of what I did. And I realised that I had a purpose. 然而我接到了想要自殺的孩子的來信，他們因為我所做的而沒有自殺。 [00:40.08]And it wasn't just about me and it wasn't about celebrity, but I felt like I was being punished... 我才知道我活在世上是有目的的，不僅是因為我，不僅僅是因為我是名人，我感覺我是在受懲罰。 [00:44.34]it was a bad time, I was angry, I was sad, and then I was offered a talkshow. 那段時間很艱難，我很憤怒，也很難過，接著有人找我做脫口秀節(jié)目。 [00:50.10]And the people that offered me the talkshow tried to sell it. 制作單位努力想要賣出節(jié)目，但大多數(shù)的電視臺都不想要。 [00:53.19]And most stations didn't want to pick it up. Most people didn't want to buy it because they thought nobody would watch me. 大多數(shù)人都不想要，因為他們認為沒人想看我的節(jié)目。 [00:58.22]Really when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing. 當我回首這些往事的時候，我一點也不會改變。 [01:04.06]I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. 因為我發(fā)現(xiàn)，即使失去一切，最重要的是做真正的自己。 [01:12.42]Ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place. 最終，我來到了這里 [01:15.45]I don't live in fear, I'm free, I have no secrets. and I know I'll always be ok, because no matter what, I know who I am. 。我不再恐懼，我感覺很自在，也不再有秘密，而且我知道一切都會很好的，因為無論如何，我知道我是誰。 [01:23.04]So In conclusion, when I was younger I thought success was something different. 所以這還不是結論的結論，我年輕時，對成功有著不同的定義， [01:28.58]I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. 我的志向是長大后，我要出名，我要成為明星，我想拍電影。 [01:33.49]When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies. 我是愿望是長大幻世界要周游全世界、開名車。有一批流行樂團歌迷，引用“小野貓”這個組合。 [01:37.44]To quote the Pussycat Dolls. How many people thought it was "boobies", by the way? It's not, it's "groupies". 有多少人聽成是“傻瓜”？并不是“流行樂團歌迷”。 [01:43.33]But my idea of success is different today. And as you grow, you'll realise the definition of success changes. 但今天我對成功的定義變了。你們長大后就會明白，對成功的定義是會改變的。
