名校勵(lì)志英語演講 第148期:跨越物質(zhì)的藩籬 讓世界今非昔比(5)

[00:00.47]Maybe you've got student loans—no, you definitely have student loans. Or credit card debts. 或許你使用了助學(xué)貸款，喔，你一定使用了學(xué)生貸款或有信用卡債務(wù)， [00:10.25]And you're wondering how you'll ever pay them off. Maybe you've got a family to raise. 你不知道如何償還這些債務(wù)。或許，你們需要供養(yǎng)一個(gè)家庭， [00:17.10]And you are wondering how you'll ensure that your children have the same opportunities you've had to get an education and pursue their dreams. 你不知道如何能確保你的孩子能像你一樣擁有接受教育追求夢(mèng)想的機(jī)會(huì)。 [00:27.41]Now, in the face of these challenges, it may be tempting to fall back on the formulas for success that have been peddled so frequently in recent years. 現(xiàn)在，面對(duì)這些挑戰(zhàn)，很容易落入最近幾年很是流行的成功秘訣的俗套。 [00:42.26]It goes something like this—you're taught to chase after all the usual brass rings. 這個(gè)套路大概是這樣的：你應(yīng)該追逐功名利祿， [00:48.33]You try to be on this who's who list or that top 100 list. 想方設(shè)法躋身“名人錄”或者“前100強(qiáng)”； [00:53.45]You chase after the big money and you figure out how big your corner office is. 應(yīng)該想著賺大錢，想想自己的辦公室該有多大； [00:59.41]You worry about whether you have a fancy enough title or a fancy enough car. 此外，你還要擔(dān)心自己有沒有尊貴的頭銜，有沒有高級(jí)的轎車。 [01:07.26]That's the message that's sent each and every day—or has been in our culture for far too long that through material possessions, 這些都是我們衡量成功的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，日復(fù)一日，我們都會(huì)收到這樣的訊息，這已在我們的文化中根深蒂固—— [01:17.29]through a ruthless competition pursued only on your own behalf, that's how you will measure success. 通過為止財(cái)富占有的多少，通過僅僅為了一己之利的殘酷競(jìng)爭(zhēng)來衡量成功與否。 [01:26.51]Now, you can take that road and it may work for some. 當(dāng)然，你們可以選擇這條路——而且這條路可能會(huì)讓一些人成功。
