名校勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)演講 第136期:敢于競(jìng)爭(zhēng) 勇于關(guān)愛(ài)(3)

[00:00.25]I was there because of Billy Jean King promoting an HBO special about women in sports called “Dare to compete.” 我去那兒是因?yàn)楸壤き偂そ鹨诩彝ビ霸侯l道宣傳一個(gè)名為“敢于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)”的體育節(jié)目。 [00:09.05]It was about Title IX and how we finally, thanks to government action, provided opportunities to girls and women in sports. 這個(gè)節(jié)目旨在宣傳“第九項(xiàng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)”，宣揚(yáng)在政府的幫助下女性最終獲得了參加體育比賽的機(jī)會(huì)。 [00:19.13]And although I played not very well at intramural sports, I have always been a strong supporter of women in sports. 盡管在學(xué)校時(shí)我并不擅長(zhǎng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)，但我非常支持女性參加體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。 [00:28.04]And I was introduced by this young woman, and as I went to shake her hand 經(jīng)別人的介紹，我認(rèn)識(shí)了這位年輕女士。我前去跟她握手， [00:33.44]she obviously had been reading the newspapers about people saying I should or shouldn't run for the Senate. 而她顯然已經(jīng)在報(bào)紙上看到了有關(guān)人們討論我該不該參加競(jìng)選的報(bào)道。 [00:40.40]And I was congratulating her on the speech she had just made and she held onto my hand and she said, 我在對(duì)她剛剛的成功演講表示祝賀時(shí)，她緊緊握住我的手， [00:47.25]“Dare to compete, Mrs. Clinton. Dare to compete.” 對(duì)我說(shuō)，“要敢于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，克林頓夫人。要敢于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)?！? [00:50.54]I took that to heart because it is hard to compete sometimes, especially in public ways, 我牢牢記住了她的話(huà)，因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)候競(jìng)爭(zhēng)真的很殘酷，特別是通過(guò)公開(kāi)方式進(jìn)行競(jìng)爭(zhēng)， [00:58.25]when your failures are there for everyone to see and you don't know what is going to happen from one day to the next. 因?yàn)樵谀欠N情況下你的失敗人人可見(jiàn)，而且你不知道接下來(lái)的一天天會(huì)發(fā)生什么。 [01:07.45]And yet so much of life, whether we like to accept it or not, is competing with ourselves to be the best we can be, 然而，這就是生活，不管我們?cè)敢饨邮芘c否，我們總是在不斷挑戰(zhàn)自我，力爭(zhēng)做到最好。 [01:15.57]being involved in classes or professions or just life, where we know we are competing with others. 無(wú)論是在學(xué)校還是在職場(chǎng)甚至是在生活中，我們也都在和別人競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。 [01:24.11]I took her advice and I did compete because I chose to do so. 我采納了她的建議，參加了競(jìng)選，因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)做出了這樣的決定。 [01:29.03]And the biggest choices that you'll face in your life will be yours alone to make. 最重要的選擇必須由自己來(lái)抉擇。
